Board votes down dispensary’s zoning request

By MARY BETH VERSACI mversaci@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – An area near the 800 block of North Villa Avenue in Villa Park will not be rezoned to an M-1 light industrial district to allow a medical marijuana dispensary to be built there.

The 3-3 vote from the Villa Park Village Board of Trustees Monday fell short of the majority the item would have needed to move forward to a second reading at the board’s next meeting Dec. 8.

The vote came after a long process on the part of Solace Solutions to bring a dispensary to Villa Park that included an application for a site that did not meet state requirements for dispensaries and an application error.

In addition to a zoning change, the dispensary at 851 N. Villa Ave. also would have required a conditional use permit, but since the zoning item failed, trustees did not move forward with a vote on the permit.

The Villa Park Planning and Zoning Commission and village staff had recommended the board approve both items.

Trustee Albert Bulthuis, who voted in favor of the zoning change, likened the dispensary to a pharmacy.

“I just see this is the same as having a Walgreen’s, even though we don’t like possibly what they’re selling,” Bulthuis said.

However, after hearing a strong negative response from residents, other village leaders questioned whether the dispensary was a good fit for

“I can see the relief side of it to help people, but when I take a big picture look and look at what’s going to be in the best interest in town, and that’s where I start having the devil and the angel that are fighting each other, trying to sort all of

this out,” said Village President Deborah Bullwinkel, who ultimately voted against the rezoning request.

Because of the bumps along the way of the application process, Bullwinkel also said she felt uneasy trusting Solace Solutions to move forward correctly with the dispensary.

Solace Solutions President Tami Wanless shared a presentation detailing the state’s medical marijuana law, the benefits of medical marijuana and the plan for the proposed Villa Park site.

“I think the safety net for

the village is that we’re so highly regulated,” Wanless said.

However, the views residents shared with trustees were the ones that won out in the end.

Trustee Robert Wagner said he recently walked to some homes in town to gauge residents’ thoughts, finding many of the people he spoke to were against the dispensary.

“I would say it’s pretty clearly members of the community are very weary and I would say don’t want this,” Wagner said.

This is McQuade’s first year running the food drive, but she, too, said it’s just one of the many projects in which Montini students participate throughout the year.

“Being that we are a Catholic school, a lot of what we do is based in service,” McQuade said.

All of the service projects give Montini students education beyond the classroom.

McQuade said not only do the students actively participate in the annual Golden Gobbler, competing among each other to collect the most food, but they also grasp the seriousness of hunger.

“They all understand this is to help those less fortunate than themselves,” she said.

LOMBARD – Montini Catholic High School students collected more than 3,000 nonperishable items for area food pantries during the 18th annual Golden Gobbler Thanksgiving Food Drive.

“It was a little on the higher end this year,” Montini co-Director of Student Activities Jill McQuade said of the 3,400 items collected during a twoweek period.

The event is a collaboration between Montini Student Government, National Honor Society and Campus Ministry, but the entire school participates.

The senior class won this year’s food collection competition among the grade levels, followed by the sophomores in second place.

“Our seniors tend to be the ones who win because they have done it for four years,” said McQuade, who’s been involved with the Golden Gobbler for the past three years.

Each day from Nov. 3 through 17, students focused on a different food item to collect. After collecting as much as possible, Montini divides up the food as evenly as it can among several food pantries in DuPage County in time for Thanksgiving. “[Mike Kisicki] and his

Villa Park celebrates Thanksgiving by giving back “For most of these recruits, this is the first time away from home, not only for the recruits, but the families, too.”

By MARY BETH VERSACI mversaci@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – When 200 naval recruits pull up to the Elmhurst American Legion on Thanksgiving, they will be greeted by nearly 100 volunteers and more food than they could ever imagine.

Villa Park VFW Post 2801 is again participating in the Navy’s Adopt-a-Sailor program, joining with the Elmhurst American Legion to offer a home-away-from-home for recruits from Naval Station Great Lakes’ boot camp.

The post has partnered with the station for the program for at least seven years, said Earl Gerhard, a VFW member who has been part of the annual Thanksgiving celebration for each of those years.

Through the program, recruits who are close to graduating are “adopted” by their own families, someone else’s or area organizations, like the VFW, for the Thanksgiving holiday. When they leave the station in Great Lakes, they

Brian Walsh Naval Station Great Lakes public affairs specialist are treated to a celebration that is a welcome break from the challenges of boot camp.

Boot camp is about eight weeks long, and during that time, recruits have limited access to telephones, only getting to make three short calls during their time there, said Brian Walsh, public affairs specialist for Naval Station Great Lakes. They are allowed to write letters once a week, and they have no access to email or social media.

“For most of these recruits, this is the first time away from home, not only for the recruits, but the families, too,” Walsh said.

That’s one feature that makes Thanksgiving at the Villa Park VFW particularly special: The recruits will be able to call and email their

friends and family.

Cellphones and airtime are donated by AT&T, and computers come to the VFW from the Army National Guard station in North Riverside, said Steve Prescott, quartermaster of the Villa Park VFW. Recruits will arrive by 8:30 a.m. at the American Legion, where a continental breakfast will be waiting for them.

They’ll have time to use the phones and computers, play video games, watch sports games on TV and just relax.

The Thanksgiving luncheon is served at noon, followed by a sandwich and dessert buffet beginning at 4:30 p.m., before the recruits say their goodbyes to volunteers at 6.

When recruits leave the station in the morning, they know

they are going to be served dinner, but besides that, they are in the dark, Walsh said.

“All they’re expecting is a meal, and it’s a whole lot more,” he said.

And they show no shortage of gratitude for everything they are given.

“We get more hugs and kisses when they’re leaving, you’d think they were our sons,” said Arlyne Gerhard, Earl’s wife and the volunteer coordinator for the event.

Thanksgiving dinner is made possible through the generosity of many donors, including stores such as Walmart, Sam’s Club, Aldi and Villa Park’s Mike’s Meat Market, Prescott said.

Maggiano’s Little Italy and Corner Bakery Cafe in Oak Brook both play a large role as

How to help Villa Park VFW Post 2801 is still looking for Thanksgiving food donations, particularly pies and hams. To donate, drop off items Monday through Wednesday before Thanksgiving at 39 E. St. Charles Road. the chefs behind the Thanksgiving meal, he said.

Maggiano’s cooks and carves the turkeys, while Corner Bakery prepares the sides, like dinner rolls, corn and cranberry sauce.

During the day-long celebration, volunteers are charged with refilling food and drinks, emptying garbages, cleaning the bathroom and more.

But the volunteers aren’t just giving to others on Thanksgiving; they’re getting something in return.

“It makes them feel really good inside, getting the chance to help out these young soldiers,” Prescott said.

Man pleads guilty to attempted murder

there’s a better use

for all the

red tape

By MARY BETH VERSACI mversaci@shawmedia.com A Carol Stream man pleaded guilty Nov. 13 to attempted first-degree murder after he shot his wife in July 2011 in Oakbrook Terrace after she left work in Elmhurst, said Paul Darrah, spokesman for the DuPage County State’s Ronald D. Attorney’s Of- Smith fice.

Aiesha Thomas left Lexington Health Care for the day when Ronald D. Smith forced her car off the road with his vehicle on Butterfield Road near Route 83 and opened fire, striking his wife in the wrist.

Thomas exited the vehicle and a passing motorist picked her up. Smith then followed that vehicle. After a brief chase, he forced it off the road and opened fire once again.

The good Samaritan drove Thomas to the Oakbrook Terrace Police Department, and she then was taken to the hospital to be treated for her injuries. Smith later turned himself in to police.

In addition to attempted first-degree murder, Smith also pleaded guilty to aggravated discharge of a firearm, Darrah said.

Since being charged, he has remained in the DuPage County Jail on $500,000 bond, Darrah said.

Smith will be sentenced Dec. 2 and he is expected to receive a 31-year sentence, based on an agreement among the prosecutors, defense attorneys and presiding judge, Darrah said.

Smith’s trial was scheduled to begin this week before he pleaded guilty to the charges against him, he said.

LOMBARD – Montini Catholic High School in Lombard and the Weiger family awarded a student with a special scholarship during a football game in October.

Prior to the kickoff Oct. 17, senior football player and Villa Park resident Samuel Asta was called out onto the field to receive the second annual Spirit of ’76 Scholarship Award in memory of teammate Johnny Weiger, according to a school news release.

Johnny joined the Montini Catholic community for the 2011-12 school year as a member of the Class of 2015. He died Nov. 4, 2012, from a blood disorder called thrombotic

thrombocytopenic purpura, or TTP, caused by a bone marrow transplant he received to fight leukemia.

Johnny’s jersey number was 76. The football team received special uniforms to be worn each year at the Spirit of ’76 game as a tribute to their teammate.

In his memory, the Weiger family decided to present an award to a member of the varsity football team who has displayed the true meaning of team spirit and sportsmanship during the season, the release stated.

“Throughout his battle with leukemia and TTP, Johnny displayed the spirit of a champion,” Montini President Jim Segredo said in the release.

Leaders representing various religions surround Congregation Etz Chaim Rabbi Steven Bob Nov. 8 at the Lombard synagogue’s Coming Together in Solidarity event.

OUR VIEW

Make moment last in stand against hatred It appears hatred may have inspired a person to smear anti-Semitic graffiti on a Lombard synagogue last month.

If that’s the power of one, what can the power of hundreds inspire when they stand together against hatred?

That’s up to all of us.

Days after Congregation Etz Chaim in Lombard was vandalized Oct. 21, including graffiti and broken windows, a man was charged with a hate crime, armed violence and other crimes. Two weeks later, local religious leaders from the Islamic, Christian and Mormon communities, among others, rallied in support of the “brotherhood and sisterhood” they share with their Jewish counterparts.

“It’s clear that we do not stand alone,” Rabbi Steven Bob told the hundreds who attended a special event Nov. 8 at the synagogue.

The moving show of solidarity reminds us that we are all neighbors, we are all part of the same community despite differing religious beliefs.

But once the power of the moment fades and everyone returns to their own syna-

gogues, churches, mosques or otherwise, the lasting impact becomes everyone’s responsibility.

It’s easy after an incident like this to look at the headshot in the newspaper and make one person the face of racial or religious intolerance. Keep in mind, the accused has pleaded not guilty and deserves a chance to defend himself in court.

Truth is, the fear and ignorance that often fuels hatred exists among us in our everyday lives, sometimes inconspicuously and perhaps closer than we’d like to admit.

We must ask ourselves how the examples we set, the words we use, the jokes we tell might perpetuate intolerance in ourselves or those around us.

Whether or not we want the responsibility, our actions can influence people. Each of us has the power to inspire, for better or for worse.

Hundreds of supporters gathering that night at Congregation Etz Chaim wasn’t about making one person the bad guy. It was about making all of us better together.

Keep the power of that moment alive.

Decide how you want to inspire every day.

John Mahoney of Glen Ellyn holds the winning Lucky Day Lotto Quick Pick ticket he purchased in Lombard.

Man claims $175K from Lombard lottery ticket SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA A winning lottery ticket purchased in Lombard has been claimed by a Glen Ellyn resident, who now is $175,000 richer.

John Mahoney won his thousands while playing Lucky Day Lotto after the numbers on his Quick Pick ticket matched all five numbers – 02, 07, 21, 35, 38 – in the Nov. 7 evening drawing, according to an Illinois Lottery news release.

Mahoney has lived in Glen Ellyn and the surrounding area for 45 years. He has four children, seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, the release stated.

A regular Lucky Day Lotto player, Mahoney said in the release he always plays Quick Pick tickets. He plans to put his winnings in the bank for now while he decides what to do next, according to the release.

The winning ticket was purchased at Mobil, 435 W. Roosevelt Road in Lombard.

The retailer received a bonus of $1,750, 1 percent of the prize amount, for selling a winning ticket, the release stated.

Another winning ticket bought at a Mobil in Harwood Heights shared the Nov. 7 Lucky Day Lotto jackpot of $350,000, according to the release.

Contant likened the project to charitable races where donors sponsor a runner, but instead of running a race, the Contants, along with family and friends, gave their time and energy to fix up Ronne’s home.

“Ed has been in our family’s life,” Contant said.

Ronne’s late wife, Sandy, met Anne Contant, John’s wife, at a Bible study group.

When Sandy passed away two years ago, the Contants continued to stay in touch with Ronne, whom John describes as a grandfather-like figure to the Contant children.

Customize Your Jeep Wrangler SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese One of the fun things about owning your own vehicle is being able to make it a part of you, an extension of your personality. The Jeep Wrangler is the perfect canvas for the aftermarket enthusiast. There are many aftermarket options available to transform your Jeep into one that provides a spectacular off-roading experience.

According to Larry Roesch Jeep, the most popular modification for the off-roading enthusiast is replacing the tires; second most popular is to replace the stock doors. Depending on the type of activities you enjoy, these parts, along with soft, mesh, and bikini tops can open up the vehicle to nature, while protecting the occupants from the weather and road debris.

Other modifications to consider adding include: Lift kits, roll bars or cages, body armor, bumper mounted lights, grill guards, hood hold downs and a locking fuel door. Tire carri-

ers offer the security of a spare tire. Side steps can ease the transition into and out of the vehicle.

Interior grab handles are small handles that attach to the roof or to the back of the front seats; passengers can hold onto these when riding on challenging trails. Light bars and brackets can be attached to the top of the hood, windshield, or even to the bumper to improve visibility at night or during bad weather. Additional options include bug deflectors, hood vents, lockable interior compartments, cargo liners and cargo nets. A wide variety of vinyl decals and graphics are available, which can add to your vehicle’s personality and do double duty by covering up old scratches and scars.

While the customization options are almost limitless, one important option to have is recovery gear to tow your Wrangler to safety should it become immobilized. Most kits include recovery straps, snatch blocks, tow hooks, and d-rings.

barked on a mission to bring another child into the Contant family.

“People look at us and go, ‘You’re nuts,’” John Contant said about welcoming a fifth child into their home.

He said it’s not just a desire to give what they can to another orphan that compels him and his family, but also their experience during Maeve’s adoption.

“Maeve has given us so much,” Contant said.

Their first adoption took eight years, which is longer than typical, he said. In August 2013, they finally brought home Maeve Long Bing, a little girl with albinism, who is now 2 years old.

“She’s a cute little girl.

She’s growing up so fast,” 86-year-old Ronne said of the youngest Contant child.

More than two dozen people arrived at Ed Ronne’s Elmhurst home on a chilly Saturday morning equipped with paint, rakes and hammers. The crew included the Contants’ three other children, Tristan, 14, Ella, 10, and Aidan, 6.

“It was a lot more than I ever expected,” said Ronne, who has lived in the same Elmhurst home for the past 45 years.

On Saturday, the crew of volunteers who ranged in age from 6 to 60 managed to complete yard work, clean gutters and repair Ronne’s back porch. Inside, they painted

several rooms, ripped out carpet, installed new light fixtures and new flooring and gave the house a deep cleaning.

“She would have loved to have been here Saturday,” Ronne said of his late wife.

Contant wanted to thank Panera Bread in Oak Brook, Starbucks and Chick-fil-A in Elmhurst, Home Depot in Northlake and HOBO in Villa Park for donating supplies and food for volunteers.

He said his family expects to need about $35,000 to fund the adoption process. Both Hands collects donations designated for the Contants and puts them in an escrow account the family can draw from for adoption expenses. Should any money be left over, it will be applied to another adoption either by the Contants or another family.

The money has started to come in, but Contant said they are still a long way from their goal.

Ronne helped the Contants financially during Maeve’s adoption, so when they heard about the Both Hands project, they knew they would use the opportunity to give back to Ronne. While they had a plan, Contant was still surprised by the project.

“It’s very humbling that people would give us their time like this,” he said.

FINDING CHILDREN’S COMFORT ZONE When fitting children with prescription eyeglasses, comfort is of paramount importance. Every child has a unique face, and frames should be chosen to fit appropriately. Once careful measurements ensure correct sizing, look for eyeglass frames with features such as silicone nose pads with non-skid surfaces that prevent slippage. Comfort cables secure children’s eyeglasses by wrapping around their ears. These are even available for frames worn by infants. Another good feature is flexible hinges that bend outward, which is useful for children who pull the temple away from their head when removing glasses. For babies, straps may be needed to replace earpieces so that they might roll over or lay on their sides without discomfort or dislodging their glasses.

Up to 25 percent of school-age children may have vision problems that can affect learning. An eye doctor can test for common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. To schedule an exam for your child, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. Some of our eyewear brands include Ray Ban, Fossil, Gucci, Silhouette, Nine West, Juicy Couture, Coach, Maui Jim, and Cole Haan. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. Shatterproof polycarbonate lenses, which have built-in UV protection to block the sun’s harmful rays, are recommended for children’s eyeglasses.

DERMATOLOGY UPDATE Todd T. Davis, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist

TREATING ROSACEA Rosacea is a skin disease that causes flare-ups of reddened, bumpy facial skin. Over time, the 16 million Americans who suffer from the chronic and potentially life-disruptive disorder may also display ruddier and more persistently red skin as well as visible blood vessels. Fortunately, there are effective treatments, including topical gels, lotions, and creams containing either metronidazole or azeleic acid. Their continued use helps keep rosacea under control without producing side effects. At the same time, very low doses of antibiotics such as doxycycline (beginning with oral medications and transitioning to topicals) help control inflammation. If blood vessels become dilated, treatment with pulsed dye laser, pulsed green-light laser, and intense

Lighting the Village of Addison Christmas tree SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker

Come and celebrate the holiday season on Friday, Dec. 5 as the beautiful Village of Addison Christmas tree is lit by Mayor Rich Veenstra, Miss Addison 2014, Samantha Slater, and Santa and Mrs. Claus.

All are invited to stop in at Addison Village Hall, 1 Friendship Plaza, for what’s sure to be a fun evening for all ages. Oh, and don’t forget your camera because there will be plenty of great photo opportunities for children. This will be an ideal and convenient time to take the perfect picture for this year’s holiday card.

Beginning at 5 p.m., Santa and Mrs. Claus will be ready to listen to children’s wish lists inside the rotunda near the Christmas tree. Some of Santa’s friends, including Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer, as well his elves, will say hello and pose for pictures. The elves will take a break from building toys and

A high-ranking member of a drug-trafficking ring in DuPage and Cook counties has been found guilty through the first use of the state’s Street Gang and Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations law in DuPage County, according to a news release from the county state’s attorney’s office.

Chicago resident Terrence Steele, 36, was found guilty by jury of heroin possession and sales charges late Nov. 14.

Steele is the ring’s high-

est-ranking member to be convicted in relation to an August 2013 drug bust in which 31 people were arTerrence rested.

T h e R I C O Steele law allows for the prosecution of stiffer penalties if it can be proven a defendant’s activities were part of a larger criminal conspiracy conducted during a period of time. Used in federal cases and 33 states as of 2014, accord-

ing to the American Bar Association, RICO laws are touted as key in bringing down criminal organizations.

“While Mr. Steele may be the first defendant found guilty of violating our RICO law, I am confident he will not be the last,” said DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin in the release. “This is an important law that will be put to good use as we work to rid our streets of these drug dealers who seek to enrich their lives at the expense of others.”

Awaiting trial on similar charges is Andres Garcia, 26, of Chicago who is the ring’s alleged leader. His next court appearance will be today.

Steele is due in court Dec. 12.

Celebrating our 11th

Christmas in Elmhurst

Christmas tidbits to put you in the holiday spirit Genuine Alex and Ani Positive Energy in Elmhurst exclusively

T

he holiday season has arrived, and millions of people across the globe will be celebrating Christmas with their families and friends.

The following are some interesting tidbits to share with your loved ones this holiday season.

• Each year, more than three billion Christmas cards are sent in the United States alone.

• In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed December 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ. Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible.

• Christmas carols began as an English custom called “wassailing.”

Individuals toasted neighbors to a long and healthy life.

adno=S0251180

• Despite the common tale that three wise men paid homage to baby Jesus, the Bible never specifically calls out a number. Similarly, there’s no specific indication that they visited the infant Jesus. Their visit may have occurred when Jesus was older.

• Santa Claus’ modern look was inspired by writings from The Knickerbockers of New York and imagery from Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was published anonymously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.

• Santa has his own official postal code. It’s H0 H0 H0.

• The song “Jingle Bells” was originally written for Thanksgiving and not Christmas. People loved it so much that the lyrics were changed to fit Christmas.

• Christmas trees typically grow for 15 years before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 1999.

• Christmas was not declared an official holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870.

• Before turkey, the traditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard.

• Male reindeer tend to shed their antlers in the winter. This means Santa’s reindeer are likely female.

• Christ may have been born in a cave rather than a manger. According to the gospel of Luke, the shepherds that helped find shelter for Mary to give birth kept their flock in a cave. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is built over a cave called the Grotto of the Nativity, where Jesus is believed to have been born.

• Many people may be less inclined to stand under mistletoe waiting for a kiss if they knew what “mistletoe” means in the ancient Germanic language. It literally means “dung on a twig,” for the bird who eats the berries and then leaves seeds in droppings to propagate new plants.

adno=S0244085

• Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The price index for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011. The most expensive gift is the swimming swans.

The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs — including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire.

Holiday Entertaining The only secret you need to know for successful holiday meal planning Victoria offers these tips on how to balance meal prep time: Save on an already "homemade" dessert: The last course of the meal is your final chance to wow guests, but many of the most impressive holiday desserts are also the most time-consuming to prepare.

You can serve an outstanding dessert with virtually no prep time and without losing the truly homemade taste, thanks to frozen brands like Marie Callender's. Along with the homemade scent and flavor, Marie's starts your 'homemade' pie for you, allowing time to add your own special touches such as sugar cookie cutouts placed on the pie before baking. For additional homemade elements, be sure to choose varieties that have those special touches you would add if you were doing the baking - like handpicked apples and hand-placed chocolate curls.

(BPT) - You don't need the juggling skills of a big-top performer in order to host a successful holiday gathering.

Careful planning, time management and an eye for adding quick and easy 'homemade' touches will make your gathering one for the memory books, while still having plenty of time to enjoy the company of your guests. Don't let poor planning leave you cooped up in a hot kitchen while everyone else revels in the joys of the season.

"The secret to holiday meal time-management is simple: Know where to spend and know where to save, without sacrificing the homemade taste" says Victoria Hudgins, an entertaining expert. "Reducing time spent on certain aspects of the meal can allow you to invest more in other areas. For example, instead of spending hours making a homemade dessert, consider a high-quality store-bought pie and some whipped topping to put your own special touches on at home and achieve the homemade look and taste."

What to do with the time you save: Invest in making a main course that will leave guests impressed and full. The extra hour you save on dessert prep could be just enough time to add flare to the turkey, holiday ham or even some knock-out steaks.

Save on appetizers: Appetizers set the tone for the meal, so they need to be appealing. On the other hand, you don't want guests to fill up on them and have no room left for the main course. Keeping appetizers light and simple saves room in guests' tummies and saves you time, too.

Serve simple two-ingredient appetizers or even storebought options to minimize prep time.

What to do with the time you save: Put the time-savings toward more sophisticated side dishes. Along with traditional family favorites like stuffing and mashed potatoes, try something new that might require a bit more prep and longer cooking time, such as a winter squash

Save on topping off your holidays dishes: No one wants to serve dull dishes, and you don't have to spend a lot of time to add pizzazz. Simple touches, like adding Reddi-wip, can transform a variety of dishes. For example, basic eggnog gets a pop of mint flavor and festive color with Reddi-Wip peppermint chocolate egg nog.

A whoosh of topping sprinkled with crushed peppermint candies creates a joyful touch on this jazzed-up holiday favorite. Best of all, adding this real cream goodness is just 15 calories.

What to do with the time you save: Add more pizzazz to holiday decorating. Create a stunning centerpiece for the table featuring holiday items like fresh pine branches, scented pine cones, pillar candles in holiday colors and even Christmas balls. Incorporate festive touches in table settings, such as napkin holders made from a single artificial poinsettia blossom and holiday ribbon, chair covers in holiday patterns, and place card holders made from pine cones.

Save on invitations. Instead of the time and money you would invest in choosing, preparing and mailing paper invitations, use e-invitations instead. It's easy to find free online services that allow you to create and send digital invitations, and many even track responses and maintain an up-to-date guest list.

What to do with the time you save: Perfect your holiday playlist. Holiday music playing in the background can underscore the mood of your holiday event.

With the time you've saved on invitations, you'll have plenty of opportunity to peruse online playlists and find the perfect mix of holiday songs - traditional, instrumental, country or contemporary - to accompany the festivities.

"Getting ready for holiday guests doesn't have to be stressful and time-consuming," Hudgins says. "Substitutions like frozen desserts, additions such as whipped topping, and some smart time management can help you make the most of your prep time, so that you have more precious moments with those you love."

Holiday Recipe LANDof

‘NOG THIS is how eggnog should taste

By Emily Arno Relish

There seem to be two camps around Christmastime — those who adore eggnog and those who abhor it.

Naturally, we find ourselves on the side of adoration, but with all those soupy, sickeningly sweet variations available on marketplace shelves, we can see the haters’ point.

That’s not eggnog. Real eggnog is rich, velvety and frothed to perfection.

So this year, brew your ‘nog from home and don’t cut corners with cheap brandies or rum. Think of it this way — if you won’t drink it straight, it’ll probably spoil your concoction.

Also keep in mind that spicy eggnog flavorings can easily go beyond the mug.

Integrate leftovers into our cleverly delicious Eggnog Spice Bundt Cake.

Holiday Eggnog Yields 7 cups • 6 whole eggs • 2 egg yolks • 1 cup granulated sugar • 4 t sea salt • 3 cups whole milk • 1 T vanilla extract • 1 to 2 cup bourbon whiskey • 1 to 2 t freshly ground nutmeg • 1 cup heavy cream • 4 cup vanilla sugar (or plain granulated sugar) Combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar and salt in a heavy-bottom sauce pot. Whisk until smooth, then stir in milk.

Cook and stir over low heat until custard is cooked to about 165F, or until thick

My friend’s only regret about her skillet was she couldn’t finish it. The crispy breakfast potatoes with warm soft centers were just too filling.

The chilaquiles did not disappoint. We chose to top off the mixture with a pair of scrambled eggs. The light, fluffy eggs paired excellently with the pulled pork and queso fresco.

While I liked the red salsa, my

personal taste preference was the tangy salsa verde.

The brunch menu, offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, includes sweet dishes such as strawberry cheesecake French toast served with fresh berries, creme anglaise and whipped cream. There’s a full selection of morning cocktails, and our server told us the house Bloody Mary is handmade with the restaurant’s own recipe. Specialty Lavazza coffee drinks also are featured.

We stopped in on a Saturday, but on Sundays, a pianist plays the sleek baby grand tucked in the corner from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, live jazz and other entertainment starts at 7 p.m.

BOLINGBROOK – It was a crisp autumn morning when my friend and I walked into Sage Kitchen + Bar in Bolingbrook.

The warmth of the restaurant was welcome after the chilly air, and the sun shone through tall windows along the walls of the attractive, contemporary space.

We read the menu, debating what we should have for brunch. With some friendly advice from our server, we made our picks.

My friend took advantage of the build-your-own skillet option, choosing to top her breakfast potatoes with spinach, cheddar, portobello mushrooms and the crowning touch of a pair of sunny-sideup eggs.

Other possible toppings included bacon, bell peppers, goat cheese, red onions, Tasso ham, tomatoes, avocado, andouille, chicken and turkey. Any of these also can be tossed into a custom omelette.

I went for the Sage breakfast sandwich, a pretzel flatbread loaded with scrambled eggs, bacon, spicy mayo and avocado. I chose breakfast potatoes on the side, but Parmesan fries are another option.

We also had to try the chilaquiles. The bowl of corn tortilla chips tossed with black beans, roasted corn, queso fresco, pulled pork and eggs any style sounded too good to pass up. Our server asked if we’d like salsa verde or red salsa but kindly accommodated our request to have both on the side.

As we chatted about our weekend plans, the shops at The Promenade tempted us from just beyond the windows. Our server stopped by to make sure we didn’t need anything else while we waited for our brunch, which fueled us for the rest of the day.

My Sage breakfast sandwich tasted delicious. The pretzel flatbread was a favorite part of the meal, lending so much to the bacon and egg classic combo. As for the spicy

Montini claims sixth straight semifinal berth

By GREG LEASURE gleasure@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Immediately following Saturday’s Class 5A quarterfinal 23-13 win against Marian Central Catholic in Woodstock, Montini’s football team huddled up near the end zone and voiced its satisfaction with the words “Hurricane season is over.”

For six straight seasons, Montini (9-3) has met the Marian Central Hurricanes (7-5) in the playoffs. For six straight seasons, the Hurricane’s season has ended at the hands of the Broncos.

Montini jumped out to a 17-0 lead early in the first half, thanks to two touchdowns from sophomore Prince Walker. He finished with 94 rushing yards in the game. According to Walker, constantly making adjustments against a Marian defense that loves to load the box was the key to Montini’s success on offense.

“We know what the defense does,” Walker said. “We know how to adjust back to what they do, and that’s what we did.”

Fueling those successful offensive drives and puzzling Marian quarterback Billy Bahl all game was the Broncos defense. Terrell Johnson, Austin Warden and Mitch West each intercepted Bahl once in the first half, which led to a 20-7 Montini halftime lead.

On offense, quarterback Chuck Norgle moved the Broncos well all game. The senior completed 24 of his 34 passing attempts for 283 yards.

Although Norgle and the Broncos offense struggled to convert in the red zone at times in the second half against Marian’s defense, the offense stayed balanced, and it paid off. In addition to solid performances by Norgle and Walker, four different Broncos receivers eclipsed 60 yards on the day.

“Having a day like this will give you momentum going into the next game,” Norgle said of the Broncos passing success.

After playoff wins against Joliet Catholic and Marian, which are becoming November traditions at Montini, the Broncos face a new team in Geneseo.

The Maple Leafs have played in Class 4A since 2007, meaning they’ve avoided Montini in its run to five straight title games in Class 5A. The Maple Leafs will head to Lombard with a 12-0 record.

The Northern Illinois Big 12 West champs have four shutouts this season and haven’t allowed more than 20 points in a game yet.

Monica Loftus a game changer for Montini

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LOMBARD – It doesn’t take long to notice that Monica Loftus stands out on a volleyball court.

The 6-foot outside hitter has a long wingspan, moves well on the court and hits hard. It was no secret that the Montini senior was the go-to hitter on the Broncos, but that didn’t stop her from getting her kills.

“She finds a way to pound through and score every match,” Montini coach Steve Dowjotas said. “She’s consistent, especially this year playing all six rotations. Her defense and serve receive has improved a lot.”

This season, she finished with 314 kills despite missing a few matches. She also had 74 blocks and added back row play to her arsenal with 147 digs.

It’s no surprise then that Loftus is headed to play Divi-

Montini’s Monica Loftus hits the ball Saturday during the IHSA girls volleyball class 3A consolation game at Illinois State University’s Redbird Arena in Normal. sion I volleyball. She recently signed to play for St. Louis University to fulfill a longtime dream of playing college volleyball.

“It was a dream come true,” Loftus said. “They reached out to me at first. I went on 12 or 13 visits before I went on their visit. Once I was on their cam-

pus and met all the girls I knew I wanted to be there.”

Loftus could laugh at the number of visits she went on before finally finding SLU, but is confident in her choice now.

She credited 1st Alliance Volleyball Club, which she joined as a 15-year-old and is one of the most star-studded clubs

in the area, with helping her develop and aiding in her recruitment.

The Billikens will get one of the most influential figures in the history of Montini volleyball. The Broncos took fourth in Class 3A, finishing up last weekend. It was Montini’s first trip to state. Loftus had 27 kills in the two matches at Redbird Arena in Normal.

“She’s so dynamic,” Dowjotas said. “She’s a game changer. I think there’s only been one team that has been able to control her. ... Most people have to worry about her and it kind of helps everybody else out.”

Loftus got started in volleyball at age 11, but it wasn’t the only sport she played. Once she got into it, it was a clear choice what sport to focus on.

“For grade school I started playing volleyball, basketball and track,” she said. “I just fell in love with volleyball the most.”
