By MATTHEW PIECHALAK mpiechalak@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – Proudly surveying her new living room Monday evening, Beth Jarosy tried to put into context the vast changes that had recently occurred in the common space of her Villa Park residence. “Everything in here is better than I ever would have dreamed,” she said with an excited smile. Jarosy, a U.S. Navy veteran, was the recent recipient of a living room makeover courtesy of a partnership between Fox Valley ReStore and DuPage Habitat for Humanity, as well as designer Kevin Grace and the team at ABC 7’s Windy City LIVE. ReStore, a nonprofit organization that raises funding and collects donated housing materials to support Habitat for Humanity, initiated the makeover idea with the goal of giving back to a local veteran, said Randy Hamann, general manager of ReStore. Working in conjunction with the DuPage chapter of Habitat, the organizations eventually chose Jarosy, who served as an information systems technician from 1996 to 2004.
Unbeknownst to her, Jarosy was surprised with the makeover news on a Veterans Day episode of Windy City LIVE, a daytime talk show featuring hosts Val Warner and Ryan Chiaverini. Grace, whose segment, “Kevin Grace, Save My Space,” has been a feature on the show for the past year, said Jarosy was the perfect person to honor. “She is a veteran, but she is also a female veteran,” said Grace, a former contestant on HGTV’s “Design Star.” “We always think of the men, but there are so many women involved in our military that it just made sense.” Jarosy, a mother of three who grew up in Lombard, initially struggled to find a permanent home for her family after being discharged from the Navy Reserve in 2004. After moving more than half a dozen times, the Glenbard East High School graduate became a homeowner in 2009 through DuPage Habitat. Habitat’s Veteran’s initiative helps alleviate the shortage of quality housing that often directly affects veterans. The house on Ridge Road was one that Jarosy had previously driven by, and despite damage to the roof, she remembers telling herself, “that

is going to be my home.” To her benefit, the house was one Habitat also had an eye on remodeling, and shortly after, Jarosy and her children moved in. In four years since, her children have settled in and Jarosy met and married her husband, Nate. Last week, the family had to briefly vacate their home as Grace and the ReStore team moved in to renovate the living room, as well as the attached kitchen area. Jarosy and her family were hosted by the Fairfield Inn and Suites in St. Charles and were also given a weekend full of free vouchers for local food and activities to keep them occupied as their house was turned into a construction zone, then quickly built back up. From the carpeting to the furniture to a Christmas tree and presents, everything incorporated into the makeover was donated by local businesses like Value City, Best Way Carpet, West Elm and Crate & Barrel, Grace said. “We have a zero budget,” he said. “You get what you get and the challenge is putting

LOMBARD – The owner of Ken Loch Golf Links near Lombard said Wednesday that he is appreciative of the DuPage County Board’s vote to rezone his property to allow a developer to build a multi-family home development on the land. “It was a long process, but we’re really happy and satisfied,” said Rich Kensinger, who owns the property with his sister, Linda Lies. The County Board on Dec. 10 voted, 15 to 2, to rezone the 31-acre golf course at 1 S. 601 Finley Road to allow for the construction of multi-family units. Real estate developer Donven Homes had sought approval to rezone the property, located just south of Four Seasons Park in Lombard. Kensinger, 68, said both he and his sister desire to sell the land and retire. “My sister and I are getting up there (in age), and it’s just a good time to move on,” said

Kensinger, who grew up in Elmhurst. Kensinger’s parents, Richard and Vivian, purchased the land in 1961 and opened the nine-hole golf course in 1963. “When my dad bought it, it was abandoned farmland,” he said. The nature of golf courses has changed in recent years, and the course is no longer as profitable as it once was, Kensinger said. “When we opened, there were about 120 to 150 golf courses in the Chicago area and now there are between 250 and 300,” he said. “All golf courses and sports are competing for people’s attention. There are so many things for people to chose to do in their free time, and that hurts the situation, too.” Kensinger, who in recent years has worked seven days a week at Ken Loch, said he is looking forward to retirement. “It will be nice to have a little slower pace.”

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Elmhurst - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In
most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-888-760-3069 and enter 1003 You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Man faces charges after ramming squad car SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BOLINGBROOK – A Lombard man is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly ramming a police car in a domestic dispute outside his girlfriend’s home in Bolingbrook. Erik M. Granillo, 30, of 52 W. Anne St., was c h a r g e d w i t h Erik M. attempted mur- Granillo der, fleeing and eluding, assault, aggravated battery, driving under the influence and criminal damage to state supported property, according to Bolingbrook police. The incident allegedly began when police responded to a domestic disturbance around 8:45 p.m. Dec. 11 in the 300 block of Lakeside Drive, where Granillo attempted to enter the residence of his 23-year-old girlfriend, police said. When she refused and called police, Granillo left the
area in his silver Ford Focus before fleeing an attempted traffic stop onto Interstate 355, police said. Granillo then allegedly contacted the victim and told her he was on his way back to her residence with a gun and he was going to shoot the victim and any police, police said. A short time later, a Bolingbrook officer at the front door of the residence observed Granillo, driving at a high rate of speed, deliberately crash into the front of the unoccupied squad car, according to police. Police said Granillo believed the squad car was occupied by an officer. Granillo then exited his vehicle, officers attempted to arrest him and then deployed a Taser when he fought with officers, police said. Two officers were treated and released for non-life threatening injuries. The squad car suffered extensive damage, police said. Granillo was processed and transported to Will County Adult Detention Facility.

Jarosy’s first reaction: “Is this my house?” “I was just speechless,” she
recalled Monday. “It’s beautiful, I would never have imagined any of this.” For Jarosy, the best feature of her family’s new living room is the organization. “I’m very grateful for my home, but it’s not a huge home and the living room and kitchen is our hub – it’s where we spend most of our time,” she said. “I wanted a space where we could be a family and not be on top of each other.”
DERMATOLOGY UPDATE Presented by

PREADOLESCENT ACNE While it was once thought that the lower end of the age range for adolescents to begin experiencing pimples was about 12, acne is now common in children ages 7 to 12. Faced with this new reality, a team of physicians has formulated new guidelines that they hope will lead to a better age-appropriate standard of care for children as young as 7. While most acne drugs are prescribed off-label, there is one exception in the form of a gel with a retinoid and benzoyl peroxide that the FDA recently approved for use in children as young as 9. A recent study shows that dermatologists prescribe topical retinoids more frequently than primary care

Frozen pipes start to wreak havoc when temps hover around or below single digits for an extended period of time. Drats also expedite freezing conditions as well.
Although it can be diicult to prevent frozen pipes from all areas of the home (especially those with limited or no access), there are some precautions you can take. Never shut of the thermostat, even if the home will be unoccupied for an extended period of time. Make sure all garden hoses are disconnected from outside faucets. If you have plumbing above or adjacent to a garage, avoid keeping the door opened for extended periods of time.
Mike Borowski Vice President
If you have water lines running through a cabinet to a faucet on an outside wall, you may want to leave the doors open to allow warmer air to circulate. Inspect for draty areas of home (typically in basement) and provide adequate insulation. Homes that have plumbing on outside walls or plumbing that overhangs beyond foundation are especially susceptible to freezing. It may be necessary to allow a trickle of water to run out of these ixtures to prevent water from freezing. If you leave any water running, be sure that the drain to that ixture is lowing properly so it doesn’t overlow if let unattended. If pipes in your home do become frozen, it is not a good idea to leave unattended. When water freezes, it is not uncommon for the pipes to split open if the frozen water has nowhere to go. Once thawed, the split in the pipe can leak water under pressure and cause extensive damage in a short amount of time. If the above items don’t prevent or solve your frozen pipe dilemma, it is best to call a professional plumber who can thaw the lines and who is prepared to repair any leaks that arise.

LOMBARD – An aid trip down to tornado-ravaged Washington, Ill. last week was a humbling experience for Lombard’s fire chief. “I saw [the damage] on the news, but it is really different to see it in person,” said Lombard Fire Chief Paul DiRienzo. A handful of village officials and staff made the trip to the central Illinois town Dec. 12 to deliver a truckload of community donations. Last month, an EF 4 tornado carved a path of destruction through the city located roughly 30 miles northwest of Bloomington. Between Nov. 21 and Dec. 6, the International Village Apartments, along with the
Lombard Fire Department, public works department and community members, collected donations including cash, gift cards, water, clothing, tools and baby supplies. The trip to Washington was to deliver the donated items, but also to offer moral support, said Jerry Howell, Lombard’s assistant fire chief. “We let them know that we are here if there is anything we can do to help,” Howell said. The group that made the trip met with Washington Mayor Gary Manier, fire chief Michael Vaughn and Tazewell County Board Chairman David Zimmerman to deliver the donated items. “They graciously showed us around and showed us the

MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT YOU HAVE Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of permanent impairment of reading and fine vision among people aged 65 years and older. It results from changes in the macula, the portion of the retina responsible for clear, sharp vision. Early symptoms of the disease range from an inability to see details or vivid colors to distorted vision in which objects appear to be the wrong size or shape and straight lines appear wavy or crooked. While there are procedures for staving off vision loss, ultimately the disease can lead to complete loss of central vision. In this event, there are visual aids available for enhancing remaining peripheral vision. They include high-powered spectacle-mounted lens systems, magnifiers, and telescopic lenses for distance viewing. Because people 65 and older are an increasingly larger percentage of the general population, vision loss from macular degeneration is a growing problem. Experience, commitment to technology, and a genuine concern for patient welfare enable all of the doctors and highly qualified staff at SKOWRON EYE CARE to work together to consistently deliver quality, affordable eye care. To schedule an appointment, please give us a call today. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision. P.S. “Low vision” means that even with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery, people find everyday tasks difficult to do.

LOMBARD – With temperatures in the single-digits last week, students at a local school focused their collective effort on making blankets for hospice patients. During the annual Senior Luncheon on Dec. 10 at Trinity Lutheran School in Lombard, students partnered with local senior citizens – including Trinity parish members – to make warm blankets for hospice residents at Lexington Health Center, 2100 S. Finley Road. Trinity faculty coordinated the construction of the col-
orful fleece blankets. Supplies were donated by the school’s Parenting with the Lord group. The project was initiated by Kelly Wilson, the parent of an eighth-grader at the school, according to Trinity Principal Kenneth Krohse. Wilson, who works with the hospice division at Lexington, relayed to school officials the need for blankets and lap robes. The efforts of the students fit perfectly with Trinity’s school-year theme, “Love One Another,” Krohse said. The completed blankets were received by Lexington officials Dec. 13.

Continued from page 12 path the tornado took right through the center of town,” Howell said. “Dozens of houses, complete streets were gone.” The group from Lombard also heard several miraculous stories of survival, including woman who had her back against a wall in her home when the tornado hit, Howell said. “After the storm blew over,
she realized the wall she was standing against was the only wall left in the house,” he said. The next phase of challenges for Washington’s business and residential communities is working through the process of being made whole through insurance and federal aid, Howell said. “Our fire department and public works department are going to do our best to keep in touch with the people of Washington and continue to ask what they need,” he said.

Family Shelter Service offers safety, support during holidays At holiday time, people affected by abuse especially need the kindness of strangers, for this is when they are at their most vulnerable – cut off from everything and sometimes everyone they are close to. Family Shelter Service was founded 37 years ago to address the unique needs of these individuals both at holiday time COMMUNITY and throughout the year. VOICE For many of our clients, Maureen staying in a shelter during the McGuire holidays can be one of the most difficult times. Our client, “Angela,” fled a violent home with her two young children shortly before the holidays. In the shelter, with time to reflect on the tragedy of her abusive relationship, she became overwhelmed. To help her heal from the trauma, Angela underwent individual counseling and also participated in Family Shelter’s Mom and Kids Support Group with her children. As the holiday approached, Family Shelter supporters and former clients began to stop by with donations and gifts for the women and children in the shelter at the annual Holiday Shoppe event – Dec. 6 and 9. One woman told Angela that she had been in the same situation at one time and that she couldn’t stop thinking about the mothers and children who would spend their holiday in a shelter. Angela was touched and moved by the generosity of these people who didn’t know her. She and her children were invited to participate in Family Shelter’s annual Home Sweet Home event – this year on Dec. 7 at the Abbington in Glen Ellyn – a community gingerbread decorating event featuring storybook characters and Santa Claus. Other mothers the in shelter came as well and she found herself celebrating with people who understood her experience better than anyone. Angela later commented that it was the most tranquil holiday she’d ever had. While we always hope that our shelter will be empty this holiday, we know it will not. Domestic battery is the most prevalent crime in Illinois, according to the Illinois Crime Commission. It is critical that we all participate in making the issue known in our community so that another family won’t have to spend their holiday in a shelter, depending on the kindness of strangers.
Maureen McGuire is the marketing and communications representative for Family Shelter Service.

achieved academic excellence at the grade school level. “Johnny was a very, very important part of our community,” said Montini President Jim Segredo. “I think it is important that his story and the courage he displayed is communicated to the school community on a yearly basis. “Even in the face of a very serious illness, he kept his faith and his positive outlook and it is an example that we all should remember.” During his freshman year, Johnathan, a member of the Montini freshman football team, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. Following an extended bout with chemotherapy, radiation and a bone marrow transplant, doctors were able to cure the cancer. However, shortly after beginning his sophomore year, Johnny was hospitalized with a rare blood disorder, TTP, which was caused from the bone marrow transplant. Following several months in the hospital, on Nov. 4, 2012, Johnathan died due to complications from the TTP. Throughout his hospitalization, Johnathan maintained a relationship with the Montini community through letters, hospital visits and videotaped prayer services, said principal Maryann O’Neill, who recalls Johnathan asking his peers to pray for fellow patients who he said were suffering more than him. “Johnathan made quite an impact on our community in his short time,” O’Neill said. “He was a very humble individual.” The inaugural scholarship will be awarded at the beginning of the 2014-15 school year, Fran Weiger said. Currently, the family and school are soliciting donations and working on guidelines for applicants, she added. “We are trying to chose a student we know is going to give back to Montini in many ways.” Aside from the scholarship, the “Spirit of 76” award was established in honor of Johnathan, who wore that jersey number, and will be presented each season to a deserving varsity football player that, like Johnny, shows faith, commitment and courage, O’Neill said. The inaugural award was presented to senior AJ Melarkey this fall.

My husband and I want to publicly thank our neighbors for all their concern and support during the past few months. After my husband’s stroke in July, we have been amazed by the help we’ve received getting groceries, bringing over food, taking out the garbage, putting the newspaper by the door and phone calls to make sure we’re OK. A perfect example was after our snow fall Sunday, we had three different people clearing our driveway. It reminds us that despite the weather, Obamacare and all the troubles we all face, there is so much to be grateful for – and we are. Merry Christmas!

Theft from teachers Suburban Life Media thinks the pension reform legislation that ripped off teachers of their retirements didn’t go far enough. Well, just like your brother stealing your money from your piggy bank for years and then just saying, “Oh sorry, I don’t have the money anymore. Too bad, you come up with it.” Come on. This was actual theft. We teachers who are retired and other public employees know that this is just first step toward their shirking of their responsibility, that being the state of Illinois.
Some homeowners negligent This is in response to “Rake
Shirking obligations

your leaves.” Everyone sees the negligent homeowner who doesn’t collect leaves. They’re also the same ones who don’t mow their lawn regularly, have weeds and dandelions, never shovel the sidewalk and driveway all winter, their cars are in the streets, preventing the snowplow from clearing the street properly. These are homeowner duties. If they don’t like to do them, move to an apartment. I would like to see a village code against negligent properties.
Tip mail, newspaper carriers I think tipping [is important] for the holidays for people like the postal carriers and the newspaper delivery people. I always make sure that I even give the substitute mail carriers some kind of tip during
the holidays. I make sure that the cards that are left by the Suburban Life carrier and the Tribune newspaper delivery people get a tip. After all, they’re working hard in the cold and the heat.
More on Mandela To the underinformed individual who declared good riddance to [Nelson] Mandela. Perhaps the media should dig a little deeper into why Mandela was put in jail. It would find that he was put in jail because he was fighting the oppressive white government that were against the blacks of the country. It was called apartheid.
Taxes too high I’m sick and tired of the school system raising our taxes. Older people on a budget should be left alone. Enough is enough.
A major airline carrier declares bankruptcy and cheats its pilots and staff out of their retirement benefits. Then, it emerges as a new improved airline merging with another, gets a fresh start, while the others that they’ve left behind have to struggle. The state shirks its pension obligations on its employees, and it’s literally going to declare bankruptcy, like the city of Detroit, leaving everybody behind while they get to start fresh. Is this the way our government and our country is meant to be running things?
A take on taxes Regarding the recent chatter about the “temporary” Illinois state income tax becoming permanent as a hidden element of the so-called pension reform package, was anyone except politicians, their public relations mouthpieces, their army of consultants and various camp followers ever naive enough to really believe that Mikey Madigan, [John] Cullerton and [Pat] Quinn were actually going to roll that tax back? And the “promised” spending restraint, which is a foundation of the reform? The only certainty here is that once the pols in this state have your money, not only will it be spent, in a short time they’ll be weaseling for more.

I’m sure you are extremely busy, especially around now, and I don’t mean to bother you or take up too much of your time. For Christmas, there’s really only 2 things I would like to please ask for, first I would like to please ask to have my best-friend Aaron back, but I know that is probably, well, very impossible thing to ask for and to receive, because he lost his battle with cancer. He was all I had. And secondly, I would also just like to please ask that my family simply could have a very nice and happy Christmas this year. But I know how crazy this time of year can get for you, and there are far many more deserving, and less fortunate kids out there whose wishes should be granted before mine; so if you can’t grant mine please don’t worry, it’s alright, I won’t be mad. But thank you for listening though! Oh dear, and I am very sorry this is over 50 words! Anyways, take care, and your family, elves and reindeers! And fly safe! Merry Christmas Santa! Brooke

Restaurant reviews
The Chew Chew tracks all the right notes RIVERSIDE – There are restaurants and then there are neighborhood institutions. The Chew Chew in Riverside is the latter. On a recent night, The Chew Chew was full of locals: a gathering of schoolteachers, buddies grabbing a burger and catching a Bulls game, and even a village official out for a quiet dinner with his wife. The presence of locals at The Chew Chew is unsurprising, because if you ask anyone in Riverside where to head for dinner, this place makes the list. The Chew Chew serves the community in multiple contexts. The menu references awards for best neighborhood joint; food-focused social media websites rate it highly as a spot for locals and visitors alike; and the restaurant regularly gives generously to local causes and nonprofits. Just like Riverside itself, The Chew Chew is full of history and local mythology, and is, in a word: classic. That’s not bad for a place founded in 1996. But enough about all that; let’s talk food. The Chew Chew’s menu strikes a nice balance between bar food and a higher end steakhouse. An $11 burger sits comfortably on the menu next to mid-priced pasta dishes, $30 steaks and rotating market fish. But with a twist, the menu also offers items not regularly seen on suburban menus, such as escargot, pate and zucchini pickles. To get started, I ordered baked onion soup and one of the night’s specials: duck pate on crostini (toast) with pickled onion and crumbled, hard-boiled egg. The soup arrived first – hot, but not boiling – with a crispy layer of Swiss cheese sitting atop croutons floating on pure onion goodness. On a frigid night, it was the perfect first course to beat the chill; a good balance of broth and onion – hearty without being heavy. About the time I was fin-

Stumped for a gift idea? Give the power to change the world (BPT) - Every year, office or classroom gift exchanges, thank you tokens for service providers, and last-minute items for acquaintances that drop in unannounced leave many Americans wrestling with a burning question: What can you give for $25 (the ubiquitous price point for this type of gifting)? How about the chance to help change the world? Microlending is the practice of making small loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries. The borrowers use the money - as little as $25 - to expand their businesses, educate their families and improve their communities. Now, it’s possible to give everyone on your list a gift card that will allow them to make such a loan. For roughly the price of a designer scented candle, you can give someone the chance to make a tangible, quantifiable, powerful difference in the life of people around the world. How it works By going to www.kiva.org/gifts, you can choose an amount, purchase a Kiva Card and select the delivery option that works best for you. Print it yourself and keep some cards on hand for drop-in guests. Or, send it via Facebook, email or U.S post to recipients anywhere in the world. Recipients redeem the Kiva Card at Kiva.org by selecting the specific borrower who will receive the loan. The website provides detailed information about each borrower and how he or she will use the loan to build their business and create opportunity for their families and communities. It’s possible to find borrowers who appeal to the passions of virtually every gift recipient. If your giftee is a foodie, perhaps she’ll choose to give her loan to a beekeeper in Kenya or organic coffee farmer in Mexico. If the card recipient believes in promoting green energy, he may choose as his
beneficiary an entrepreneur who brings solar power to a region of Tanzania where there is no electricity. Have an art or craft fan on your gift list? He or she may choose to lend to a weaver who supports his family and preserves an ancient art form through the products he weaves and sells. The gift that can truly keep on giving The benefit of a Kiva Card doesn’t end with the satisfaction of having helped others. Kiva borrowers have an impressive repayment rate of nearly 99 percent. Neither the lender nor Kiva makes any money
from the loan. Once the borrower repays the $25 loan , your gift recipients can either reclaim the cash value of the card to spend on a gift for themselves, or they can opt to reinvest the money and make a new loan through Kiva. As they relend their money to another borrower on Kiva, your initial gift of $25 has the potential impact of hundreds of dollars. The recipient could continue to reap the spiritual rewards of giving for years after receiving your initial gift. To learn more, or to start giving Kiva Cards, visit www.kiva.org/gifts.
Ways your family can give back to the community, country and world this holiday (BPT) - The holiday season is a time when people are looking to give back. Sometimes this giving back encompasses spending time with others in the community, and other times it is showing support for programs that give back across the world. Families can get involved in giving back this holiday season in many ways, involving all members - from your newborn to great grandma. Here’s how: * Support companies that give back. Families with infants and toddlers may not realize that the Bumbo products they purchase not only solve every day parenting challenges, but they also give back to children in need. In fact, a portion of proceeds from every Bumbo product purchased worldwide supports the underprivileged and special needs children in the company’s hometown of Pretoria, South Africa. Since
2005, the company has donated more than $10 million back to the local community through the Bumbo Cares non-profit program, providing food, shelter and education for more than 1,200 South African children. Products that give back include the Bumbo Floor Seat and accessories - the perfect first seat for babies; the Booster Seat, Step Stool and Toilet Trainer. You can learn more about how Bumbo helps the children of Pretoria at www.BumboUSA.com/BumboCares. * Organize a collection drive. Children love to help other children, and they can do that by participating in a drive. If there isn’t a clothing or food drive already happening in your neighborhood, consider organizing one yourself. Find an organization in your community that helps children and ask what donations are needed. Advertise when you’ll be holding the drive with letters
or postcards to neighbors. On the day of the drive, help your children and their friends collect the donations, and then take everyone with you to deliver the donations to the organization. Take a photo of the drop off and submit it to the community paper to commemorate the work the youths put into the effort. * Participate in a community kitchen, clean-up or build. These are activities everyone in the family can participate in. Contact your local government office to find out when the next community clean-up day is scheduled. If you have younger children, ask to be assigned to a park or quiet road. And if you have older children who are able to participate in a community kitchen or build project, consider donating your time there. It will be a project they can reflect upon years
later - reminding them how they cared and contributed back this holiday season. * Visit those who are homebound during the holidays. Sometimes the best way a family can give back is by visiting those who aren’t able to get out of the home very easily. Contact a local nursing home or your religious center to ask if your family can sing holiday carols, bring treats or just come over for a talk. All it takes is a bit of time, which often is a great way to give back. As your family gets ready to celebrate the holidays this year, remember these tips of lending a hand, organizing a drive or supporting companies, like Bumbo, that give back. There are always opportunities where your entire family can pitch in to help the neighborhood, community, country and world.

Gifts for foodies guaranteed to leave taste buds dancing (BPT) - Between the growing trends of boutique restaurants, creative home cooking and entire television networks dedicated to food, you probably know a few people who consider themselves “foodies.” Whether they love craft beer, decadent chocolate treats or gourmet cheeses, you can find many great gift ideas for people passionate about food and drink. Make their holiday extra bright by indulging their interests and exploring some of these top trends in food-related gifts.
Himalayan salt
Himalayan salt is a trendy and truly unique gift for salt lovers and gourmets. The hard mineral composition means this particular type of salt can be carved into a variety of useful items, such as a Himalayan salt block ideal for serving warm grilled meats or chilled for serving sushi. Gourmet chefs at home can infuse food and drink with a subtle hint of mineral-rich salt, adding a unique layer of flavor. Himalayan salt is also touted as a healthy, natural source of sodium by many health experts.
Personalized stoneware
Winter days call for warm baked goods, whether it’s a classic casserole or rich homemade pie. Cooks and bakers love to personalize dishes with updated versions of classic recipes, adding herbs and spices for extra flare. And when that dish is cooked in customized stoneware, there’s no mistaking who created the culinary masterpiece. Personalized stoneware is gaining popularity; by adding a name or special message, you’re giving a gift that’s truly one of a kind.
here to stay. There are more breweries in the U.S. than ever before, and beer connoisseurs are even picky about the mug they drink it in. Craft beer enthusiasts know that one of the best ways to enhance your drink is to use the correct glass. Glass sets make great gifts that are not only useful, but can serve as a beautiful display in a bar or kitchen when not in use. For example, beer lovers will enjoy a multiple glass beer tasting set. Be sure it includes glasses like a hand mug for light ales, footed glass for wheat beers and pale lagers, and an English pub glass for dark English ales.
Gourmet goodies
Unique gourmet treats are sure to impress even the most refined palate. From handdipped Champagne strawberries from Shari’s Berries, to gourmet caramel apples and cake pops, tantalizing temptations appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth. Gourmet popcorn and fruit baskets make great gifts for food lovers too, and combining a few fe special treats eats in a gift basket is a fun way to present their favorites.
Made in the USA
Things made in the USA embrace the idea of “home is where the heart is,” while providing quality goods that last the test of time. Patronize boutiques that feature local artisans, or when shopping online, look for the location where the item was created. For example, RedEnvelope’s animal wood cutting board comes in pig, cow, rooster and chicken designs - ideal for any chef all made in the USA.
Grill mania
Sweet and salty treats
Flavor fusion is featured in some of the nation’s most popular restaurants, but home chefs are enjoying these taste mash-ups, too. One classic blend that has been gaining popularity is salty and sweet combos. Gift ideas that feature this ultimate mix include gourmet dipped pretzel rods in various types of chocolate. Sea-salt adorned confections are another popular option - look for caramels and truffles sprinkled with sparkling sea salt for the perfect salty and sweet pairing.
Glass sets for beer aficionados
It’s official - the craft beer movement is
Both men and women are refining their grilling skills by cooking dishes in their favorite barbecue style - and winter isn’t stopping them. Indulge their passion with a grilling gift that features some of today’s top spices and sauces. Trending spices of the year include turmeric, juniper, smoked paprika and galangal, a Thai ginger. Does your favorite griller like some heat? Add in some Sriracha or Korean chili paste for that spicy kick foodies are looking for. Cheer your favorite foodie with a gift that’s sure to please. These top trends in food- and drink-related gifts will stand out from the others under the tree.
Get crafty with edible holiday appetizers (BPT) - Don’t worry, Mom. In this case, it’s OK to play with your food. The latest online social media craze features awe-inspiring galleries of edible art, showcasing everyday ingredients transformed into munchable holiday masterpieces. This season, whether you’re looking to revamp the relish tray or simply keep the kids occupied with a fun project, a few holiday-friendly staples are all you need to let your creativity take flight. Take, for instance, California black ripe olives. Known for their versatility and mild flavor, black olives are a party favorite for a reason. And with 95 percent of the nation’s ripe olives grown on family farms in California, they’re a truly all-American ingredient, too. They’re also the perfect building block for edible holiday treats. Get in on the fun with an easy and adorable-to-look-at recipe that uses black olives, cream cheese, pretzels and a few other common ingredients to create an unforgettable herd of holiday cheer. In fact, this is one reindeer game anyone can play. For more holiday recipe ideas featuring California ripe olives, visit www.calolive.org. California Olive Reindeer Makes 8 reindeer Supplies: 2- 4 Won ton wrappers Cooking spray 2 Sandwich-sized reclosable plastic bags 4 ounces cream cheese Scissors 8 colossal California Black Ripe Olives 8 large California Black Ripe Olives 1 bamboo skewer 16 pretzel sticks Paring knife Tiny pieces of carrot and raisins Powdered sugar (optional) Kale (optional) Mushrooms (optional) Directions: With a small, sharp knife, cut wonton wrappers into “antlers.” Place on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes at 350 F, or until lightly browned. Place cream cheese into two sandwich-sized reclosable bags. Snip 1/8-inch off the corner of one and 1/16-inch off the second. With the bag and the 1/8-inch hole, squeeze cream cheese into colossal olives. Using a bamboo skewer, make a hole in the large olives. Break a pretzel stick in half and press into hole and into colossal olive. Press together to form the head. Make four holes in the colossal olive with a bamboo skewer and push four broken pretzel sticks in to form legs. Squeeze cream cheese with the small-hole to form eyes. Make tiny slits with a paring knife in the top of the head and insert wonton antlers. Make a hole in the large olive (head) and insert a small sliver of carrot for the nose. Use a small piece of raisin to create pupils. To create a winter setting, dust kale leaves with powdered sugar and snip the tops off mushrooms to simulate large boulders.

Reflection during the Holiday Season Five simple ways to find deeper meaning in everyday life (BPT) - Turbulent, fast-paced, chaotic - the modern world is increasingly hectic. From this oft-crazy environment, a new movement is emerging - where people are pausing to find deeper meaning in everyday life. Self-empowerment and true emotional connections can counterbalance daily stress and uncertainty, providing happiness and a genuine sense of worth. If you find the days seem to slip away and life’s hurried pace to be draining, it’s time to find some simple ways to add meaning to your life. Here are five ideas for nurturing a deeper connection with yourself and others:
traveled to West Africa at the age of 17, and volunteered in a school for blind children. The experience led her to found Samasource, a nonprofit organization that helps individuals living in poverty. Janah recalls that “[Volunteering in West Africa] was a time of incredible personal growth and it set me on the path to do what I do.” Whether you choose to help stock a local food shelf, supervise at your children’s school or travel abroad to help build houses for the poor, volunteering is sure to make you feel more connected with the world around you.
1. Reconnect with your passion
Modern life can be very busy with every hour in every day dedicated to some activity. This can take its toll on your body, so it’s important to remember to take care of yourself, even if you’re taking care of others. Find your own way to relax and rejuvenate. This may be spending a few minutes each day balancing the mind and body through stretching and meditation. It might be taking a quiet walk, reading a book or having a cup of tea while journaling. Whatever you prefer, make sure to take “me time” throughout the day.
Did you enjoy painting when you were younger? Have you always wanted to take a photography class? Do you love to travel? It’s important to recognize and nurture those activities you love most so that you’re able to go out and do what you’re great at in the world. New York-based yoga instructor, Tara Stiles has infused her passion and energy into her work as a yoga, meditation and wellness instructor. “Passion is really about going after what you want to achieve in your life,” says Stiles. Whether it’s cooking, writing or gardening, make time for what you enjoy doing, rather than just doing what you have to. Even one hour a week dedicated to your passion will make you feel more centered and grounded.
2. Express ress your individuality
Individual beliefs and values make us each unique, and you can express those ideals through your fashion and jewelry choices. For example, the new Pandora Essence Collection is more than just a beautiful bracelet. You Yo can select from 24 hand finished charms, each representing inner-values like faith, fa love, ve, courage, confidence and wisdom. Each charm slides effortlessly into position on a slender silver bracelet, thanks to three silicone grip stoppers inside each charm. Whether for yourself or a gift for a loved one, the bracelet is the perfect reminder of what’s really important in life.
3. Give back
Volunteering in your community is a great way wa to connect with others and find deeper meaning in the everyday. Leila Janah, a social entrepreneur based in San Francisco, rancisco,
4. Find “me time”
5. Be an ambassador for your beliefs
What truly ignites your soul? It may be your passion for green living, healthy eating or your faith. Whatever your beliefs, it’s important to show the world who you are and what you believe in. Penelope Jagessar Chaffer, an award-winning filmmaker, shares her beliefs and connects with others through her work. “I’m always trying to find that common thread between myself and someone else when I’m interviewing them,” Chaffer says. “I find that love, and talking about love, is this thing we can use to help connect us.” Talk about your beliefs and values with others; you might be surprised by what you find. Rather than getting swept away in a hectic schedule, try focusing on what truly matters to you. These simple ways to add meaning to your life will help you reconnect with yourself and with those around you.

end of unwanted or simply unneeded gifts, why not donate them to someone else? Many organizations accept donations, including clothing and other belongings year-round. Consider donating that extra toiletries set, scarf or books to charity to clean up some clutter and help brighten someone else’s day. Put cleaning staples to work: You may think you need different cleaning products for different jobs, but just one classic cleaning product - Clorox Regular-Bleach - can tackle more messes than you think from laundry to helping sanitize and disinfect countertops, dishes and everything in between. For example, you can even use bleach to kill odor-causing bacteria left in your refrigerator after that big family meal and leave it smelling fresh and clean. Remove food from the fridge and wash the surfaces with a solution of 1/2 cup Clorox Regular-Bleach per gallon of soapy water. Let it stand for five minutes, rinse and then air dry for a few minutes before replacing the food. For more uses, visit www.BleachItAway.com. Organize holiday decorations: Before putting away decorations, invest
in better organization and storage materials. It may take a few more minutes to put away lights if they are wrapped around a spool, but consider how much faster it will be to hang them next year. By spending a few extra minutes this year, you will save yourself the stress in the future. In addition to these tips, remember to embrace the funny moments that come along with the mess. No matter what you’re celebrating this holiday season, no one is immune to messes, and the holidays are rife with them from dinnertime spills to that family member who enjoyed a bit too much eggnog. Instead of letting the messes get you down, take a moment to step back and enjoy the happiness of family visits and the extra time together. But because the messes will happen, remember to laugh at them. You can also share your best holiday messy moment at www.BleachItAway.com for a chance to win $20,000. In addition to great prizes, you can also find more of the know-how you need to tackle your holiday spills and houseguests (plus some laughs to get through it).

(BPT) - The holidays bring plenty of cheer and the arrival of family from all over. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all. But with family visits and hearty meals also comes a big share of messes. After hefty helpings of gravy and chocolates, there will be plenty of cleaning required to get your home back in tip top shape for the new year. It’s enough to leave anyone “holidazed,” but with the right tools and tricks on your side, it does not have to. Here are some tips to help get your home clean again after those pesky holiday messes so all you have to worry about is enjoying the season: Create smaller tasks: Create a master list to help you break down cleaning into manageable chunks. Instead of tackling a full mess in one room, only to start again in the next one, complete the same task in each room. For example, dust every room before hitting them all with the vacuum. With this approach, you’ll see a cleaner home in no time without making too many trips back and forth from the broom closet. Donate unused items: With the holidays come gifts and housewarming presents. If you are on the receiving

Holiday Sale “Where wishes do come true”
Five reasons why scent is important for home decorating (BPT) - Cooler temperatures, dwindling daylight that makes you crave a mood boost, and the approach of the holidays - at this time of year, many inspirations prompt people to redecorate. But

MORE THAN A TRADITION
while you’re breaking out the holiday decorations or looking for just the right shade of yellow to make your kitchen look brighter on short winter days, don’t overlook another powerful decorator’s trick - scent.
1. Essential oils can make your home more beautiful. An inviting, coordinated scent is as important to the look and ambience of your home as the color, finishes and furnishings you choose. 2. Essential oils are the perfect holiday home decoration. Scent is an inspired enhancement to your holiday home. Essential oils come from plants such as balsam fir boughs, fresh pine needles, peppermint leaves, cinnamon bark, vanilla beans and clove buds. Or, seek out pure, natural products like Aura Cacia’s Uplifting Candy Cane room spray, crafted with essential oil of peppermint and the essence of real vanilla beans. 3. Essential oils can make you happy in your home. Use scent to boost your mood when the post-holiday letdown, colder temperatures and the dwindling daylight of winter set in. 4. Essential oils can make your home healthier. Instead of reaching for a bottle of that blue stuff that smells like - well, window cleaner - try making your own glass cleaner from four tablespoons of vinegar and 12 drops of lemon essential oil. 5. Essential oils can help you sell your home. An atmosphere scented with natural essential oils is more appealing to buyers than a cloyingly sweet artificial scent and may be the subtle trick you need to boost a sale.

Five simple ways to find deeper meaning in everyday life traveled to West Africa at the age of 17, and volunteered in a school for blind children. The experience led her to found Samasource, a nonprofit organization that helps individuals living in poverty. Janah recalls that “[Volunteering in West Africa] was a time of incredible personal growth and it set me on the path to do what I do.” Whether you choose to help stock a local food shelf, supervise at your children’s school or travel abroad to help build houses for the poor, volunteering is sure to make you feel more connected with the world around you.
1. Reconnect with your passion
Modern life can be very busy with every hour in every day dedicated to some activity. This can take its toll on your body, so it’s important to remember to take care of yourself, even if you’re taking care of others. Find your own way to relax and rejuvenate. This may be spending a few minutes each day balancing the mind and body through stretching and meditation. It might be taking a quiet walk, reading a book or having a cup of tea while journaling. Whatever you prefer, make sure to take “me time” throughout the day.
Did you enjoy painting when you were younger? Have you always wanted to take a photography class? Do you love to travel? It’s important to recognize and nurture those activities you love most so that you’re able to go out and do what you’re great at in the world. New York-based yoga instructor, Tara Stiles has infused her passion and energy into her work as a yoga, meditation and wellness instructor. “Passion is really about going after what you want to achieve in your life,” says Stiles. Whether it’s cooking, writing or gardening, make time for what you enjoy doing, rather than just doing what you have to. Even one hour a week dedicated to your passion will make you feel more centered and grounded.
ress your individuality 2. Express
Individual beliefs and values make us each unique, and you can express those ideals through your fashion and jewelry choices. For example, the new Pandora Essence Collection is more than just a beautiful bracelet. Yo can select from 24 hand finished You charms, each representing inner-values like fa love, ve, courage, confidence and wisdom. faith, Each charm slides effortlessly into position on a slender silver bracelet, thanks to three silicone grip stoppers inside each charm. Whether for yourself or a gift for a loved one, the bracelet is the perfect reminder of what’s really important in life.
3. Give back
Volunteering in your community is a great way wa to connect with others and find deeper meaning in the everyday. Leila Janah, a social entrepreneur based in San Francisco, rancisco,
4. Find “me time”
5. Be an ambassador for your beliefs
What truly ignites your soul? It may be your passion for green living, healthy eating or your faith. Whatever your beliefs, it’s important to show the world who you are and what you believe in. Penelope Jagessar Chaffer, an award-winning filmmaker, shares her beliefs and connects with others through her work. “I’m always trying to find that common thread between myself and someone else when I’m interviewing them,” Chaffer says. “I find that love, and talking about love, is this thing we can use to help connect us.” Talk about your beliefs and values with others; you might be surprised by what you find. Rather than getting swept away in a hectic schedule, try focusing on what truly matters to you. These simple ways to add meaning to your life will help you reconnect with yourself and with those around you.

Expect a shootout when Bears face Eagles Hub Arkush
Why does it feel like the Browns were the Bears last exhibition game and now things start for real? Because the Browns are one of the weaker teams in the league this year. With Philadelphia this week and the Packers to close out the season, it’s almost as if the Bears will have to win two playoff games just to get to the playoffs. The Eagles figure to show up angry this Sunday after getting upset at Minnesota last week to snap their five-game win streak and lose the chance to open up a two-game lead in the NFC East. Like the Bears, Philadelphia is 8-6 and vying for first place in their division, but would lose a tiebreaker if they don’t win out. Also like the Bears, they control their own destiny. They play Dallas,
the club that owns the tiebreaker over them, the final Sunday of the year. There’s a very good chance none of that will matter to the team that loses this Sunday night’s prime-time showdown between the Bears and Eagles. In addition to being in a very foul mood, the Eagles still are one of the hottest teams in the league, having won five of their last six and seven of their last 10. They will test the Bears on both sides of the ball. Philadelphia is eighth in the NFL in points scored, second in total offense, 10th throwing the football and – oh no, woe is me – they are first in the league running the ball and in average gain per run. In case you haven’t heard, the Bears are dead last in the league defending the run. LeSean “Shady” McCoy leads the NFL with 269 carries for 1,343 yards, a 5.0 average. He has a long of 57 and seven rushing touchdowns. He leads second-place Adrian Peterson by 122 yards. And for some inexplicable rea-
herma Tru Doors
son, Eagles coach Chip Kelly elected to give the ball to McCoy just eight times last Sunday in Minnesota while throwing it 48 times, so he should be well-rested. The Eagles offense didn’t take flight until second-year pro Nick Foles was installed at quarterback. He’s now the NFL’s top-rated quarterback with a 117.0 rating, 23 touchdowns and just two interceptions. That ranks him significantly ahead of fellows named Manning, Rodgers, Brady and Brees, to name a few. We beginning to see the potential for trouble here? DeSean Jackson is having an All-Pro season, outpacing Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery with 75 catches for 1,275 yards, a 17.0 average and nine touchdowns. Riley Cooper has become a force as well with 743 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, and rookie Zach Ertz is emerging lately with four touchdowns. Fortunately, the Eagles aren’t near
as impressive on defense, ranking 17th in points allowed and 30th in total defense. The Eagles are 16th against the run and just 31st against the pass. Can anyone spell “shootout?” The Eagles don’t rush the quarterback particularly well, nor do they do a great job protecting Foles, having allowed 39 sacks while notching 32. The Bears, on the other hand, have protected very well, allowing only 24 sacks all year. But they have managed to get to the opposing quarterback only 26 times. Big plays will be huge in this one as well, as the Eagles are seventh in the league at plus 9 in turnover/takeaway ratio, while the Bears are 10th at plus 6. The real difference between these two clubs is that the Eagles can hammer you with the run or pass, while the Bears can run but are more dependent on the pass. The Eagles also are stingier giving up points. Throw in one of the rowdiest home crowds in the NFL, and the Bears have their work cut out for them.

Measuring stick By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Glenbard East boys basketball coach Scott Miller has talked about the improvement his team has made since the start of the season despite a less than flattering win-loss record. That will be put to the test tonight against a Glenbard North team the Rams saw in the season opener. Back on Nov. 25, East lost to North 63-46 in a game at Glenbard West as part of the District 87 Tournament. “I think especially being a young team, we do want to see exactly where we [are] and how much improvement we have had,” Miller said. “I think we’ve gotten better. Obviously they have too, but we’re looking forward to that.” The Rams snapped a fourgame losing streak with a 6964 win against Lane Tech on Sunday. East trailed by eight after the first quarter and bounced back thanks to 24 points from Jaron Hall and 20 from sophomore Patrick Peterkin. “We played better,” Miller said. “We got down early and were able to fight through some adversity.” Recent DuPage Valley Conference games haven’t gone quite as well. On Dec. 6, West Aurora thumped the Rams 64-31, and a week after that Naperville Central rolled to a 57-31 win. Both of those games were on the road and came against quality opposition. Both the Blackhawks and Redhawks are 2-0 in the DVC, just like Glenbard North. “Obviously, the West AuErica Benson – ebenson@shawmedia.com rora and Naperville Central Glenbard East’s Michael Finley (right) goes up for a basket in a Nov. 25 game against Glenbard North.

to match up, but once we get through that and realize that they’re the upper echelon of teams in our league and fight through the physical strength of those games, we’ll be all right.” One positive throughout the season so far has been the play of senior guard Hall. He has played like the veteran leader that he is for the team, and has been the team’s leading scorer. “I think the biggest thing is Jaron Hall has just been outstanding,” Miller said. “We knew he was going to be good. He was good last year, but he’s having a better year.” Miller also complimented the play of freshman Michael Finley. On a team that has three freshmen in the rotation, Finley has shown his strength. “Michael Finley has stepped up and hasn’t had quite the ups and downs that our sophomores have because he’s a stronger kid,” Miller said. “He’s done everything we wanted.”

Dec. 23 vs. Glenbrook South What to watch: The undefeated Warriors head into Wheaton North with something to prove. Despite being the only undefeated team in the bracket, Willowbrook received the No. 3 seed behind Hersey and Downers Grove North.

St. Charles Road, Elmhurst First game: 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 26 vs. Riverside Brookfield What to watch: Many of the young Rams have found the varsity level a tough adjustment. The youth of this Glenbard East team is both its main reason for early season struggles and the best reason for optimism the rest of this year and in the years ahead. After playing at Proviso West last year, the Rams shift to the newly-expanded 32-team Jack Tosh Holiday Classic. The list of teams may not be quite as daunting as what Proviso West brings, but there are plenty of solid teams here that will test the Rams. RB could be one of the favorites to win thanks to its combination of senior talent and height.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Montini win sets up showdown with IC SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
Timothy Christian | Senior | Basketball Why VanderBrug was selected: VanderBrug scored more than 20 points in three Trojan wins over the last week. He averaged 25 points and nine rebounds. Timothy Christian senior forward Connor VanderBrug has been a scoring machine for the Trojans so far this season. The Calvin College commit entered Tuesday’s game against Riverside Brookfield averaging 20.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. VanderBrug, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, spoke with sports reporter Dan Santaromita about the team’s hot start. What’s been working for you this season?
What did you try to improve
I was just playing a lot. I played with my travel team, the Bulls/Sox Academy team, and was just getting more experienced with a faster-paced game.
With all that family history, was it much of a decision? It still was. I still had a tough time deciding with a couple schools that could give me a little financial help. I just felt comfortable at Calvin.
Do you have any goals going forward? First it would be a conference championship. Our conference has been dominated by Riverside Brookfield recently. We’re off to a good start.

East girls put one in DVC win column By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – Most basketball teams spend the holiday break playing at a holiday tournaments but not the Glenbard East girls. After yesterday’s game against Glenbard North, East is off for 18 days before playing rival Willowbrook on Jan. 7. “We got some practices going on,” coach Don Finnie said. “We gave the kids some
time off because it’s such a long break between our next game.” The Rams beat Naperville Central 49-40 on Dec. 12 to snap a long losing streak in the DuPage Valley Conference. East went winless in the league last year and matched last year’s regular season win total (two) in the process. “We’ve been in a lot of ball games,” Finnie said. “We just haven’t hit a lot of
shots. “Against Naperville Central, the shots fell and we played well.” Before Thursday’s game against Glenbard North the Rams had three losses by single digits, but hadn’t been able to close the gap for a win since the season opener. Sophomore Brasia Solid led the Rams with 18 points and junior Allison Hansen scored 15 against the Redhawks.

Giagnorio, a 28-year Lombard resident, became the village’s first elected president following the legacy of late Village President Bill Mueller, who died in August 2012 after serving almost five terms. Giagnorio, who took office May 2, previously served as village trustee for Lombard’s District 2, Lombard Park District board commissioner and Park District board president. Quote of note: “The residents want a village president who is in touch with them, someone who is actively involved in the community and who will keep Lombard first.”

age County Board on Dec. 10 voted 15 to 2 to approve the rezoning of the 31-acre Ken Loch Golf Links property, 1 S. 601 Finley Road, allowing a developer to move forward with a planned multi-family home development project. Real estate developer Donven Homes had been seeking approval to rezone the property, located just south of Four Seasons Park in Lombard. The Lombard Village Board of Trustees had continually objected to the rezoning, citing that building townhomes on the for-sale golf course
celebrated the official opening of the Great Western Trail bridges during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Aug. 6 on the St. Charles Road bridge. Three bridges – along St. Charles, Grace Street and along the Union Pacific Railroad – were constructed, allowing people to use the Great Western Trail safely without crossing streets and railroad tracks. The project was almost 12 years in the making as village staff worked to design the structures and find a way to fund them. The project cost about $5.5 million, and the village contributed $1 million, which came from funds from one of the village’s tax increment financing districts. The remainder came from federal funding. Quote of note: “The bridges are open to the public and are being used quite extensively.”
– Carl Goldsmith, Lombard public works director

The extensive rain pooled in streets, rivers, ponds, backyards and homes. Residents were asked to avoid driving, and most public and private schools were closed. Reported rain totals in Lombard were more than 6 inches. All off-duty police officers and firefighters were called in to assist with emergencies. The Lombard Public Works Department was inundated with calls throughout the day. Quote of note: “A lot of roads are impassable.

and sponsorship, creating new events and increasing the effectiveness of past events, Smith said. Ware, during discussion, said it was his impression that the organization would eventually be self-sustaining. Ware acknowledged that he voted to approve funding last year but voted against it the previous year. “I was under the impression that this would be a self-sustaining effort,” he said. “Realistically, I don’t know if that will ever be the case. I would love to see if, because I know this board has made a good effort in making sure that other not-for-profits
do become self-sufficient.” Ware’s claim was refuted by other board members, include Trustee Dan Whittington, a former president of the LTC, who said that the organization has never once made a claim to be self-sufficient. The LTC has continually put together the most in-depth budget package of any that is presented before the village board, said trustee Peter Breen, who added that funding comes from the village’s downtown tax increment financing district. “These are monies that are meant to be put back into
that community,” Breen said. “When I joined this board, we had roughly 20 vacancies in downtown Lombard and we have since cut it in half. I see incredible progress here. We’re quibbling over the difference of $5,000 when this is one of the finest and best performing organizations in our community.” The village board approved a $50,000 budget for the LTC in 2013.
Lombard residents support downtown initiatives, trustee Laura Fitzpatrick said. “Pulling the funding means sentencing our downtown to certain doom again – a ghost town,” she said. Prior to the approval, trustees encouraged Smith to continue soliciting for additional membership and corporate sponsorships, and also to focus on increasing fundraising efforts in 2014.

LOMBARD – The Lombard Village Board of Trustees last week approved funding for a community-based organization dedicated to growing the village’s downtown business district. Trustees voted 5 to 1 at its Dec. 19 regular meeting to approve a $55,000 request from the Lombard Town Centre for funding for 2014. Trustee Bill Ware cast the lone dissenting vote. Ware, who requested unsuccessfully that trustees work to compromise on a lower funding amount, said his vote against the request does not mean that he doesn’t support the organization. “I still trust you guys and believe in the downtown,” Ware said prior to the vote. The overall goal of the Lombard Town Center (LTC), located a 6 S. Park Ave., is “to create and sustain a flourishing downtown business district,” according to the LTC website. Walter Smith, president of the LTC, addressed the village board during the public comments portion of the meeting and stated that 2013 was an important year for the village’s downtown. In the calendar year, six new businesses opened downtown, with more on the way in 2014, Smith said. The LTC hosted 13 events, which included outdoor viewings of Bears and Blackhawks games, and the organization’s Spooktacular, which brought roughly 4,000 guests downtown, he said. The move to a new office at street level has increased the LTC’s exposure, and the organization’s social media presence has further enhanced its reach, Smith said. The LTC website received roughly 30,000 views in 2013, nearly 2,000 emails and the organization’s Facebook page has more than 700 “likes,” he said. “When you look at the big picture, we have a large following of people online who want to know what is going on downtown and look to us to find the answers,” Smith told trustees. In 2014, the LTC’s goals include increasing membership
“I still trust you guys and believe in the downtown.”

Continued from page 3 6. Mr. Z closes What happened: Mr. Z Supermarket, 401 S. Main St., abruptly closed its doors on Sept. 27. The grocery store, owned by Herman and Clara Zeidler, opened in Chicago in the 1920s. The couple moved the business to Elmhurst in the 1930s, and then in 1976, relocated to Lombard. The supermarket was known among Lombardians as a friendly and dependable place to shop. Village officials have expressed their hope that another grocer will fill the prominent location located in the heart of the village’s downtown. Quote of note: “They had a strong and loyal customer base of individuals who had been shopping there for years, if not decades. It was a fixture of the community.” – William Heniff, Lombard community development director

8LETTERS Careers in manufacturing a viable option To the Editor: When I first began running for office, I was often asked how we could create jobs for those looking for work in our communities. Creating jobs and cultivating a more robust economy in Illinois has been a key focus for me. I always am willing to discuss ways to get Illinois back on track and back to work. During my first term as state representative, I have had the opportunity to tour many of the manufacturing facilities that are located in District 46, including: Earth Friendly Products, they make environmentally friendly cleaning products; Blackhawk Molding, they manufacture the familiar, plastic caps that seal milk jugs; and AIM Inc., they make machines that are used to manufacture wire products. While touring these facilities, employers often explain to me that they have jobs that they are trying to fill but just don’t have properly trained candidates to hire. The manufacturing jobs are out there, but many folks just aren’t aware of them or aren’t aware of the requisite training programs to get a career started in the field. Raising awareness for these jobs and their respective training programs is just one way that we can help get those in our community back to work. A career in manufacturing should be treated as if it is one of the trades; education and

training are essential. The College of DuPage offers programs in Manufacturing Technology that give adults the requisite skills to begin a lucrative career in manufacturing. There also are opportunities for young people to jump-start a career in manufacturing. The Technology Center of DuPage partners with multiple DuPage high schools to offer the Computer Integrated Manufacturing program. This program offers students a way to acquire practical experience that can be applied to various roles in the manufacturing field. With higher education costs becoming increasingly burdensome every year, training young people or individuals looking to make a career transition into the manufacturing field is an alternative path to a profession in high demand that offers competitive wages and good benefits.

10. Hammond sentenced What happened: Glenbard East High School alumnus Jeremy Hammond was sentenced to 10 years in prison last month after being involved in the December 2011 hack of a government-contracted, global intelligence firm. Hammond, 28, on May 28 pleaded guilty in federal court of conspiracy to engage in computer hacking. Under the alias “Anarchaos,” Hammond helped steal internal emails from the global intelligence firm Stratfor in Austin.

11. Mueller memorial What happened: The Community Memorial Site for the William “Bill” Mueller project was announced last spring. A gazebo, to be built on the property of the Victorian Cottage Museum, 23 W. Maple St., will honor Mueller, who served as village president in Lombard for nearly 20 years. Mueller died in August 2012 from complications with West Nile Virus and blood cancer. The project is budgeted at about $30,000 and will be covered exclusively through donations. As of October, about a third of the money had been raised. Quote of note: “What a perfect way to honor my father for all of his years of service to Lombard.” – Donna Fruehe,
Mueller’s daughter
12. Montini streaks What happened: Montini wrestling won its sixth consecutive state title in February, while the Broncos’ football and girls basketball teams came up just short of improving on their own streaks. The wrestlers bested Geneseo in the championship match to win the Class 2A title in Bloomington. In March, the
girls basketball team came up shy of a potential four-peat, losing 48-45 to Vernon Hills in overtime of the state semifinals. Earlier this month, the varsity football team fell short of a five-peat, losing 38-28 to Sacred Heart-Griffin in the Class 5A championship. Quote of note: “We just fell a little bit short. It doesn’t mean that they’re not champions or they’re not great players or they’re not a No. 1 team. They’re really, really good.”

Eliason, who graduated in 2011 as Northwestern’s alltime leading scorer, planned on attending the match as a fan, but was surprised when his former coach called to ask him if he wanted to fill a vacancy on the roster. Quote of note: “It was pretty surreal, especially first arriving at the locker room and trying to be a teammate and not a fan. For the first couple minutes, I was a little star struck and then it was just another soccer game.” – Matt Eliason

8SOUND OFF Teens need a break, too! Like most kids, I’m on break from school for the holidays. Most of my friends are having parties, playing video games and eating junk food. But not me! My dad and mom are making me do chores around the house. My dad signed me up for a class at the library. He’s making me do homework to prepare for it. Today is Saturday, my first day of break and I’ve been working for hours. I don’t think it’s fair considering that I’m on break. My mom and dad have time off work. When do I get to enjoy the holiday? Teens need a break, too!
What’s ComEd thinking? Today is Dec. 16 and the temperature outside is 19 degrees. ComEd decides today is a good day for a scheduled tree trimming power outage in Woodridge. Really! The power was out from noon to 3:10 p.m. The fridge gets warm and the house gets cold, way to go ComEd! ComEd also had us sign papers in November 2012 to have underground electric cables run so we wouldn’t lose power. They said the work would be done in the spring. I asked them what century and they assured me it would be 2013. Haven’t seen that. Just gotta love ComEd!
Response to new Lemont principal Hey, this is in response to the Lemont High School’s new principal elect’s interview. Principal elect, you proclaimed Lemont a white-collar town, and its high school a white-collar high school. No way – middle to upper middle more like it. Thank you.

DIXON – Shaw Media’s Board of Directors elected three executives to serve as vice presidents and officers of the company. At its Dec. 12 meeting, the company elected Don T. Bricker vice president of suburban publishing, J. Tom Shaw vice president of digital media, and Ben Shaw vice president of technology. Shaw Media is the parent company of Suburban Life Media. “This is an exciting time for our company,” said John Rung, President of Shaw Media. “We are fortunate to have many talented people in our company. We are particularly pleased that our Board of Directors has recognized Don, J. Tom and Ben with increased responsibility. I look forward to working with them as we chart the course for a successful future.” Bricker joined Shaw Media in 2008 as publisher of the company’s Kane and DeKalb County publications. He was named regional publisher and group general manager earlier this year. Before joining
Shaw, Bricker spent 16 years with Freedom Communications, including four years as publisher of the Appeal-Democrat in Marysville, Calif. J. Tom Shaw joined Shaw Media in 2006. He has held a variety of posts, including publisher of Shaw’s Kane County, Lake County and Suburban Life publications. In the past few years, he has overseen the launch of numerous niche products in print and digital formats. In his new role, J. Tom Shaw will lead efforts to grow audience and sales through digital platforms across Shaw’s Illinois and Iowa operations. Rung announced that a search for J. Tom Shaw’s replacement as publisher of Suburban Life Media would begin immediately. Ben Shaw has been with Shaw Media since 2004. He was named IT Director in 2006 and assumed responsibility for digital operations in 2010. Ben Shaw now will lead technology efforts across the company. He also will develop and maintain the infrastructure necessary to support Shaw’s efforts in digital media and will spearhead the launch of a database marketing program.
