“Serving our communities to make them better places to live.”

editorial@lakecountyjournal.com Since 1987, Fodrak’s in Libertyville has served up gyros, ribs and more to its customers.

Fodrak’s, 327 S. Milwaukee Ave., is named after the previous owner. It’s his last name spelled backward. Owner Jim Lappas kept the name when he purchased the restaurant, and soon expanded the menu.

“I worked for someone else for 10 years and I thought if I can do it for someone else, why not do it for myself,” Lappas said.

One of the first things he added to the restaurant’s menu was gyros. “... When we first came here, no one had authentic gyros,” he said.

He described the gyros made by others at the time as more of a meatloaf-style heated on a flat-top. His authentic gyros have come off a spit from the beginning.

And his sauce? It’s a family recipe.

“Just like mama used to make,” he said.

Also well-known for its ribs, Fodrak’s still uses the previous owner’s recipe.

But “our most in-demand [items are]

Baby back ribs and fresh-cut fries are some of the most popular items at Fodrak’s in Libertyville. gyros and fresh-cut fries,” Lappas said.

Although Lappas has no formal training in cooking, he spent years watching his mother cook while growing up. He also improved his skills through trial and error. To this day, he still makes many of the soups and sauces from family recipes.

Fodrak’s also offers regular specials such as Sloppy Joes. Although not normally on the menu, customers were requesting the dish, so Lappas offered it. He tries to expand his offerings to fill his customers’ needs and wants as best he can, he said.

His regular customers aren’t shy about making special requests. Lappas said his customers know the ingredients the restaurant has and often have asked for something off the menu. Lappas accommodates the requests when he can.

And his customers keep coming

back, Lappas said. He has customers he met as children 25 years ago and they are coming back as adults and bringing their families. Lappas even knows what some of his regulars are going to order as soon as he sees their faces.

Fodrak’s uses the best sourced ingredients available and provides a comfortable atmosphere, Lappas said.

On the weekends, Lappas often finds his restaurant filled with families. It’s busy during the week, too, with lots of people coming in for lunch or picking up dinner on the way home.

“We have fresh, high quality food and it’s something you would cook yourself,” Lappas said.

Lappas said his busiest months at Fodrak’s are May and October. Although he can’t pinpoint the exact reason why, he thinks the busyness in October might be attributed to the days getting shorter and people getting home later.

The restaurant also offers catering of everything from its famous gyros to its baby back ribs and homemade Italian ice. Catering got its start early in Fodrak’s history with the help of car dealerships on Milwaukee Avenue.

Now Fodrak’s caters company luncheons, school events, family events and more.

Public art exhibit seeks volunteers, money

ANTIOCH – Although the leaves are just starting to change color, volunteers in Antioch have been hard at work preparing for the return of Dickens Holiday Village.

The volunteer public art exhibit brings Olde England alive in historic downtown Antioch with lifelike figures representing scenes from the Dickens era. It will be outside on the sidewalks of downtown Antioch from Nov. 7 through Dec. 25 for visitors to enjoy.

“The concept is brilliant,” said Barbara Porch, executive director of the Antioch Chamber of Commerce. “It gives the opportunity for people to visit our downtown Antioch during Christmas [time].”

This is the second year of the program. Last year, the display featured 24 characters and 14 scenes on Main and Lake Streets. Each character exhibit had a plaque which described the scene and how it related to the Dickens era.

The display was funded by the Antioch Chamber of Commerce.

This year, the goal is to have 48 characters and an additional 12 to 14 scenes. The Chamber has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the materials to make more characters. A direct link is available on the Dickens Holiday Village Facebook page, as well as at dickensholidayvillage. com.

“We want to make a nice Dickens ambience for people to enjoy,” Porch said. “… We want to bring more foot traffic to our business community, while also providing an outlet for our artistic community.”

The idea for Dickens Holiday Village originated with Antioch resident Charlie Lyngaas, also a partner in Wilmot Heritage Antiques. He saw something similar in another town while traveling. That display had more than 100 figures and Lyngaas said visitors were coming by the “busloads” to see the exhibit. He thought it would be the perfect way to increase tourism and business in town.

“We make life-sized figures from the ground up,” Lyngaas said. “… They were all designed and put together by local Antioch people.”

Both walking tours and bus tours are available to visitors.

Saturdays will feature a lot of family fun with street musicians, holiday carolers, a visit from Oliver the Dog and visits from Scrooge.

A complete schedule of events will be available at dickensholidayvillage.com.

Find information on “Scrooge U” Saturdays as well, including savings, specials and Dickens merchandise. “[Last year], it was very well-received and we’ve had people asking about it all year,” Lyngaas said. “… It’s a unique Christmas display we can have out for November and December. No one else … is doing anything like it.”

Those interested in helping with the exhibit are welcome to make donations or volunteer their time. There are several committees that could use help, including the mannequin, art, storyline, apparel, promotion and snow removal committees, as well as the Dickens Guardian Angels.

“We’ve had an excellent team of volunteers working,” Lyngaas said.

LETTERS To the editor: As a cancer survivor, I’ve experienced firsthand how the mental and physical side effects of treatment can take a toll on one’s quality of life. As health care professionals focus on the cancer treatment itself, comfort and concerns such as pain, nausea, shortness of breath, anxiety and long-lasting side effects are sometimes overlooked.

That’s where palliative care can help. It’s a growing field of specialized medical care that improves the quality of life of patients and their families by focusing on symptoms of treatment for a serious disease such as cancer. Palliative care is a big change in health care delivery, and it works in favor of the patient.

Last week, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to urge Congressman Bob Dold to co-sponsor a bill currently pending in Congress that would increase education of and access to palliative care. Our lawmakers must take this opportunity to increase access to palliative care so patients and their families have that extra layer of support when they need it most.

By STEPHANIE KOHL editorial@lakecountyjournal.com GURNEE – For years, Antonio Padilla jumped from job to job, trying to support his family.

The Park City resident and Waukegan High School graduate has come a long way since high Antonio school. He and Padilla his girlfriend now wife, Maritza Bravo, were just freshmen in high school when they had their first child. Their daughter, Yanely Padilla, is now 11 years old.

Just five years later, the two had another child, 6-year-old Julian.

As young parents, Padilla and Bravo, who have been together for 15 years and married for four years, worked hard to provide for each other and their family. They graduated high school in three years and have been living independently since they were 17 years old. “After we graduated from high school, I took on two jobs so Maritza could go to school full time,� Padilla said.

For years, Padilla worked long days, often working two jobs, and the family still strug-

gled, even with Bravo working, too. Padilla tried going to school three times, but the programs were either too expensive, too far away or just too difficult to keep up with.

After a stint with a restoration company ended, Padilla found himself applying for unemployment. It was at this time Bravo encouraged Padilla to go return to school.

She found information about Computer Systems Institute in Gurnee and they called and visited the school on the same day. Padilla was starting classes the following week, in August 2014. He studied in the school’s Business Career Program. “It was a family-vibe,� Padilla said of the school. “It was like they were there to help you.�

Since he was always interested in numbers and wanted to create more opportunities for himself, the business track was the perfect way to go. He graduated in April 2015, but even before graduation he had a job lined up through a temporary staffing agency.

He started with State Graphics in Wheeling just after graduation and within a week he was offered a permanent position. Now he serves as an account clerk/finance manager working a full-time,

“Everybody at CSI Gurnee, we’re so proud of him and excited at his accomplishments.

He knew he needed to make a change and he threw himself into everything.�

Marissa Huff Business Career Program manager Monday through Friday job that pays much more than his previous jobs did. “My boss is pretty flexible,� Padilla said. “He understands the importance of my kids.�

Padilla said not only can he and his wife afford to enroll their kids in classes and activities, but he can coach his son’s soccer team and he gets to go home and have dinner with his family.

He credits CSI with his success. Not only did he complete a program in about eight months, he earned certifications in customer service, social media strategy and Microsoft Word and Excel.

“Everybody at CSI Gurnee, we’re so proud of him and excited at his accomplishments,� said Marissa Huff, Business Career Program manager. “He knew he needed to make a change and he threw himself into everything.�

Huff said Padilla’s story is pretty typical of students that attend and benefit from CSI. The school often sees students of various ages in diverse career and life stages looking for a program to meet their needs. “We work with them to manage their schedule, to meet their goals with school,�

Huff said.

The school even supports its students post-graduation.

For the first few weeks Padilla spent at his new job, he often would come back to CSI with questions and for further training to continue to do well at his job. “Really, we’re all about changing lives here,� Huff said, adding the school does not offer a one-size-fits-all program, but rather tailors to students’ needs.

CSI offers both day and evening sessions and just rolled out a new program that allows students to take classes four days each week. The school offers classes in Business Career Program, Networking Career Programming, Medical Assisting and Medical Billing and Coding. “Since he started his job at State Graphics, Tony has mentioned to me many times how much his family life has improved,� Huff said. “Tony is one of a lot of success stories we have on this campus.�

Medicare program should be preserved, extended When Medicare celebrated its 50th anniversary at the end of July, there was rightful attention to all that’s been done to care for elderly citizens. Then there are others who have tried to bury Medicare, just as some have tried to deep-six Social Security.

Why? It’s obvious – so their special-interest friends could earn uncontrollable profits.

When it comes to elections, you get to hear wild rhetoric from candidates. Jeb Bush has tried to con the public into believing he has a better plan than Medicare. His only

SEEING IT THROUGH John S. Matijevich plan is to elect himself.

Politicians such as Bush would not dare to apply a ballot proposition to continue the Medicare program. He, like just about everyone, knows the public overwhelmingly supports Medicare and the Social Security system. They are two of the best public programs ever devised, and the record proves so. To phase them out would be unaccount-

able and stupid.

If those politicians would work as hard to control the high medical costs paid for health care, Medicare would be even more outstanding.

There again, those politicians are more interested in protecting profits for their special interest friends.

You’ve heard it often, and it’s true. Medicare and Social Security aren’t problems – they’re solutions. Is there fraud and abuse within Medicare? Yes, and the opponents ought to know how to get rid of it. Medicare, with its record, is utilizing federal

regulators to drive the abuse away from the program.

The regulators have reported that 1,400 pharmacies had questionable billing practices last year. From the oversight program, 44 pharmacy owners, doctors and others were arrested and charged with billing irregularities.

If Americans want to improve their standing in the world of health care, the benefits of Medicare should not only be extended but also not restricted by age. Medicare has a proven record that’s far more efficient than private insurers.

If politicians are really wanting to improve health care for America, they should stand up and demand that Medicare be extended. They should also support the eventual benefits of the program to all Americans, not just the elderly.

That way we’d be looking at real solutions to problems – sound solutions to all medical care in America.

SOUND OFF The liberal elites used to scream the money being spent on the space program should be redirected to feed the starving masses on Earth, but now they’re yelling that we must go to Mars and study our neighboring planet. The liberal elites follow fads; recall that in the ’70s, they told us we were heading for global cooling. Then when that fad was squeezed for what it was worth, the same authors and their students, who screamed about cooling, suddenly embraced global warming as caused by a man’s industrial technology. Then they renamed it climate change when studies of history showed that temperature changes happened way back when there was not too much industrial technology.

I say let these liberal elites all go explore Mars and stay there and leave us alone.

‘Watson Intelligence’ is funny, absorbing CHICAGO – A revised version of Madeline George’s clever, amusing 2014 hit play, “The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence,” has taken to the Theater Wit stage in Chicago, and it’s a real crowd-pleaser.

It takes audiences on a whirlwind ride, jumping back and forth in time as it explores computer whizzes (contemporary and pioneers), their work and the ultimate impact of technology.

Director Jeremy Wechsler nimbly guides the play’s three actors on a wild ride as they seamlessly change roles, donning different attire and assuming new personalities.

Kristina Valada-Viars is first seen in 2011 as Eliza, an earnest, if lonely, computer programmer whose Watson robot (Joe Foust, who also plays Photo provided three other Watson characters) Kristina Valada-Viars and Joe Foust appear in a scene from “The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence” crosses uncharted ground thanks to artificial intelligence. at Theater Wit in Chicago.

“Miami Vice” star Michael Talbott will greet fans Oct. 17 at the Volo Auto Museum. The museum is celebrating the TV series. On display is one of the two Ferrari Daytona Spyder replicas used in the series’ filming.

‘Miami Vice’ star to appear at Volo Auto Museum LAKE COUNTY JOURNAL VOLO – The Volo Auto Museum will celebrate “Miami Vice,” a TV series from the late 1980s, on Oct. 17 at the museum, 27582 Volo Village Road in Volo, according to a news release.

Among celebrants will be one of the series’ leading stars, Michael Talbott (Detective Stan Switek), who will be signing autographs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m., the release stated.

In conjunction with Talbott’s visit, museum director Brian Grams will be celebrating some detective work of his own.

In 2006, museum officials

bought a fiberglass-bodied Ferrari Daytona Spyder replica on a hunch it was used on the “Miami Vice” set. Grams collected mounting evidence of its authenticity over the years, determining this year he had the No. 1 “Miami Vice” car, long believed to no longer exist, Grams said.

“We have indisputable proof, including original documents from Universal Studios archives reflecting the car’s VIN number,” Grams said.

Museum admission is $14.95 for adults; $8.95 for children ages 5 to 12; and free for children 4 years and younger. Visit www.volocars.com or call 815-385-3644 for information.

Unfortunately, I’ve been to several funerals lately.

One thing never seems to fail at these events, the officiant declares the deceased as, “someone who would light up a room.”

Most times the deceased were people of great warmth, certainly worthy of that declaration.

What about those who never lit up a room, but would, instead, darken it? What does one say in a eulogy about them?

Speaking of unkind people, I had an aunt who rarely said a good word to or about anyone.

It took years until I finally challenged her. It happened when my son just started out in his chosen career, advertising, a field she had not chosen for him. She’d pushed engineering, an area in which he had neither interest nor aptitude. On his

OFF THE DEEP END Judi Veoukas initial business trip to Florida, where she then lived, he reluctantly agreed to visit her. The night before his arrival, I called my aunt and warned, “Do not say anything negative to him!”

She arose the next morning, but, rather than accepting my son’s profession, she keeled over and dropped dead.

She was in her 80s and it was probably from natural causes, or perhaps she’d finally followed the old adage, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

Her body was flown back here, and I rushed to find an of-

ficiant. He asked what he could say about her. I said no one will show up for the service because she alienated everyone with her disagreeable personality. His short speech to the two of us in attendance contained the following: “Lillian [not her real name] was always willing to give of herself, especially her opinion.”

In that vein, I had a co-worker who had nary a positive word to say about his mother.

This woman, he said, was a nightmare who frequently whacked him as a kid. One afternoon, he received a call the nightmare had passed away. The funeral attendees the following day were those of us from the office. Period.

And then there’s the case of the mean-spirited deceased spouse. In one situation I’d heard of, the man had belittled his wife so badly she constantly whined to her friends about what a louse he was, how she could have married far better and how she wished he’d just drop dead. He suddenly did that last thing.

Those in attendance then heard loud wailing from Sylvia’s lips, “The man was a SOB!” Not paying attention to Sylvia, the eulogist concluded the service with, “The man could light up a room.”

Sylvia, still wailing, stood and turned to the crowd. “He,” she screamed, “was so cheap, that he’d turn off every light in the house, even if I was reading. There was no way he could have lit up a room unless he set it on fire!”

“After I was diagnosed with melanoma that spread to my brain, I went to Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) to continue my treatment.” Boyd’s surgeon at CTCA® used stateof-the-art technology, such as intraoperative neuronavigation, a GPS for the brain. It made Boyd’s surgery more precise and shortened the recovery time that he would have experienced with conventional surgery.

Her dialogue in “The ... Watson Intelligence” is masterful, and it works well in the sometimes surreal situations she sets up.

An example is when a human (Eliza) interacts with a robot who can’t identify with her questions; it responds repeatedly: “I don’t think I understand what you mean, but I’d like to. Can you give me a nudge in the right direction?”

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

IN THEIR LIFE | VIVIAN OVERBECK

Wauconda shows postseason Vernon Hills’ Overbeck potential in win against Grant a cross country standout

By TIM SIECK

By TIM SIECK editorial@lakecountyjournal.com

VERNON HILLS – This week, Lake County Journal sports contributor Tim Sieck sat down with Vernon Hills senior Vivian Overbeck.

Overbeck is one of the best runners in the state of Illinois.

She placed 13th in the state Vivian cross country Overbeck meet last year.

Wauconda has hopes of making the postseason, but the playoffs really started Oct. 10.

Needing to win their last four games to become playoff eligible, the Bulldogs (3-4) are halfway to that goal thanks to a 41-7 victory against Grant (16) on Oct. 10.

Wauconda was led by Kevin Malisheski, who completed all six of his passes for 193 yards and three touchdowns.

Mar Vucovich, Parker Fink and Connor Mitchell had the touchdown catches.

Tyler Sankiewicz added 99 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

Sieck: When did you realize you were a good athlete?

Overbeck: At the end of my freshman year, I won the junior varsity cross country conference race by 18 seconds in order to earn a varsity spot, which gave me the opportunity to continue racing in the postseason meets: regionals, sectionals and state.

Lakes 26, Vernon Hills 20

Lakes continued to dominate the North Suburban Prairie Division with a win against Vernon Hills (5-2) on Oct. 9.

The Eagles (5-2) have won 26 games in a row in the Prairie Division.

Hunter Falls sealed the victory with an interception return for a touchdown.

Libertyville 48, Warren 21

Libertyville (7-0) continued to roll with a dominant victory against Warren (4-3) on Oct. 9.

Senior quarterback Riley Lees had four touchdowns.

Henry Schmidt had a touchdown reception and a touchdown run, and Riley Buncic halted a Warren drive with a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Sieck: What has been your best individual moment in high school sports?

Overbeck: Last weekend at the First to the Finish Invitational at Detweiller Park in Peoria, I ran my best 3-mile time of 17:18.8. This was my personal record by 24 seconds.

The team also ran great times so it was an enjoyable and exciting day for everyone.

Sieck: What has been your best team moment in high school sports?

Overbeck: After being ranked eighth going into the state finals, taking third place with my teammates in 2013 was unforgettable. We surprised so many people, and it was exciting that the boys team placed third as well.

Sieck: What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you while competing?

Overbeck: Lining up at Detweiller for state my freshman year, I was not wearing spikes. I am pretty sure I was the only girl in any classification without them.

Sieck: Which coach has had the biggest impact on your athletic career?

Overbeck: Coach (Suzanne) Curry has been my cross country coach for my entire high school career. She believes in me, helps with racing tactics, individualizes my workouts and always supports my goals.

Sieck: What prerace rituals do you have?

Overbeck: Over the past three years of my running career, I have kept letters that my teammates and coaches have written to me before important meets. I reread them before running big races such as sectionals and conference.

Sieck: If you had to play another sport in high school, what would it be and why?

Overbeck: I would play soccer since I wanted to play my freshman year. I moved from New Jersey, and when I realized soccer was a spring sport in Illinois, cross country became the best athletic option for me. I was able to stay in shape and make new friends, but eventually I loved cross country so much that I chose to give up soccer and run track in the spring.

Sieck: What are your post-high school plans?

Overbeck: I am pursuing Division I cross country and track opportunities.

Sieck: What is the best thing about competing at Vernon Hills High School?

Overbeck: Competing for Vernon Hills is very special because as a small school we enjoy many benefits, yet due to our location in the Chicago suburbs, we are able to compete against talented, larger schools in our county and conference.

Sieck: What do you enjoy doing away from sports?

Overbeck: I enjoy being a manager for the junior varsity girls basketball team at Vernon Hills High School, which my mom coaches. Other hobbies include singing in my church choir, reading and making jewelry.

PREP ROUNDUP

By TIM SIECK editorial@lakecountyjournal.com Libertyville and Round Lake showed last week why both teams belonged in the North Suburban Conference Championship match.

Eighty minutes of regulation plus one 10-minute overtime proved not to be enough time to settle things, and Libertyville needed a second overtime to defeat Round Lake 3-2.

Freddie Ramirez scored both Round Lake goals, and things looked good for the Panthers with the early 2-0 lead.

Tucker Goebeler scored for Libertyville at the 25-minute mark, and Luke Sanderson tied the game at the 70-minute mark.

In the 98th minute, Goebeler scored to give Libertyville the win and the conference championship.

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Superior Health & Wellness, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprimised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME?

In most cases, if you have knee pain, this is a great solution. Our doctors will give you an honest and fair evaluation of your particular knee pain. Space is limited to the first 30 Callers!
