By EVAN SHIELDS eshields@shawmedia.com WEST CHICAGO – For Christine Welch, every day is sweet running a coffeecake business. But things could get even sweeter for the Coffeecake Connection Co. owner in the coming weeks. Welch will soon head to New York City as part of the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream contest and have a chance to win $10,000. She also will receive extended coaching and mentoring from Samuel Adams employees and get the opportunity to pitch her product to key retailers and buyers. Welch, who won the contest’s Chicago regional, will be one of eight small business owners in the food and beverage industry competing for the prize. She will spend several days in New York and make the pitch Dec. 4, during which she will have two minutes, followed by a short question and answer session with the judg-

Welch said it will be similar to the television show “Shark Tank.” “It’s humbling, it’s scary,” Welch said. “They haven’t sent out the rules … so I don’t know if any of the rules have changed [since regionals in April].” Last year, she went to the business networking event that hosted the Chicago regional but didn’t pitch her product. “I guess I was intimidated,” she said. She decided to come back the following year. Since her company had grown so much and changed in that time, she wanted tips on how to improve and continue to expand. She was randomly selected to give a pitch and had to scramble to prepare.

John Said, director of community development for West Chicago, said he hadn’t heard about Welch’s opportunity but was glad to learn of her success. “I think it’s great for the community, but moreso it’s great for her business,” he said. He said it’s nice to see a West Chicago business owner follow her dreams. Welch said it’s going to be tough to squeeze the event into her busy schedule. Also she’s working to get a banner in Chicago’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and gearing up for holiday sales. “Could the timing be any worse?” she said with a laugh. During the Thanksgiving Day Parade, volunteers will carry the banner and pass out coupons to the crowd to create awareness for the business. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would ever happen,” Welch said. “The opportunity to have that kind of publicity is amazing.”

Changarro wins WeGo’s Small Business of the Year By EVAN SHIELDS eshields@shawmedia.com
■ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Haggerty Ford 330 Roosevelt Road Why they won: The auto dealer moved locations in late 2009, in the middle of the economic recession. Since then, Haggerty Ford has increased its sales by 80 percent and its workforce by 35 percent. It employs a staff of 34 and has generated more than $1 million in sales tax revenue, which translates to a positive economic impact for the city. ■ COMMUNITY IMAGE Synergy Builders 850 Meadowview Crossing
Why they won: The remodeling company recently received two awards. The first, from Best Companies Group, named them a Best Place to Work in Illinois for companies with 15 to 99 employees. The second was from Angie’s List, which gave the business good ratings for customer service, prices and professionalism. Both show Synergy’s corporate culture and ability to attract a creative and talented employment pool. ■ COMMUNITY SERVICE ProPak Industries 1099 Atlantic Drive Why they won: ProPak creates
innovations such as detectable tape and tracer wire, used to mark underground utilities during development or reconstruction. Proline Safety Products, a division of ProPak, donates vests, safety cones, safety gloves, suits and tapes during natural disasters. The company also donates thousands of dollars to causes and organizations including the Boy Scouts, Civil Air Patrol, local schools, DuPagePads, the DuPage County Humane Society and more. ■ GREEN INITIATIVE Loggerhead Deco 1187 Hawthorne Lane
Why they won: Loggerhead, a company that specializes in screen-printed glass bottles, relocated to West Chicago in 2013. Its new facility included a $2.1 million growth plan with a 27,000-square-foot building for installation of its production line. The facility is set up to decrease or eliminate volatile organic compounds from the decorating process by using highly efficient ultraviolet light. The company also decorates on substrates known to be ecofriendly and has strategic partnerships with manufacturers that support the initiative through sustainable policies.

WHEATON – Homeowners will see their property taxes increase next year after Community Unit School District 200 finalized a tax levy hike Nov. 12. The Board of Education voted 6-1 for the 4.95 percent increase, which is capped by the 2013 Consumer Price Index and was assumed in the district’s balanced $157 million budget passed in September. The spike translates to an estimated $128.8 million total levy, up from $122.6 million last year. However, Assistant Superintendent of Business Operations Bill Farley said the district likely wouldn’t collect all of the 4.95 percent, and if it did, it wouldn’t come out of residents’ pockets. Barring referendum, Illinois law states the district can only raise tax rates 5 percent or the amount of the previous year’s Consumer Price Index – whichever is lower. The 2013 index, set by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, landed at 1.5 percent. Farley estimated the owner of a $300,000 home would see an increase of about $60 next year in district property taxes.
Districts often levy for more than the Consumer Price Index to try to capture revenue generated by new property, which is not held to the cap. New construction has added an additional percentage to the levy amount in the past, Farley said. He said it was important districts overshoot to meet future needs, especially when facing potential unknowns. These include state issues such as Senate Bill 16, which would reallocate funds and cost the district more than $9 million over four years, the income tax sunset and a possible pension cost shift. District 200 also has to grapple with a new collective bargaining process in the spring, as well as health care costs. But not all was bad news. Farley said while the Consumer Price Index, new construction and homes’ estimated assessed values had fallen since 2009, Milton Township’s values have begun to level off. “That means property values are starting to come back,” Farley said. “Also, new growth is up in the district as well ... we’re starting to see that number go back up closer to where we were in the early 2000s, and

food and a full bar. Patel said their signature dish is memilitas – two open-face flatbreads with corn, seasoning, beans and a choice of toppings. The bar also offers more than 100 kinds of tequila. The menu changes every two or three weeks. Just a few weeks ago, it included alligator tacos. Patel said they also try to spotlight dishes that have vegetables that are in season. Changarro will celebrate two years of being open in December. Patel said there was a restaurant in the 1400 S. Neltnor Blvd., Unit 100, location before Changarro, but it did not have a bar and had very few decorations. Changarro’s head also was the head chef at the old restaurant. Patel’s family owns liquor stores near the restaurant, so they jumped at the opportunity to improve the business. “We started having fun with it,” Patel said. Patel said they’ve had a positive response from the community since opening. “People love having some place in town where they can go to have a nice dinner,” he said. The city selected Changarro for the award because of its various recognitions. The restaurant was featured on WGNTV’s Chicago’s Best thanks to enthusiastic fan postings on the show’s Facebook page. The raves also resulted in a shoutout on Chicago’s Best Belly Warmer segment, where the chicken tortilla soup was highlighted as

in all respects,” he said. “I still struggle with the policy that allows us as a board to ... as I call it, ‘tax to the max.’ ... Capturing as much as we can should be offset by [cutting] some other expense items on the budget.” Swanson acknowledged that as state revenues – down about 15 percent since 2005, she said – and property tax values fell, taxpayers have had to shoulder a growing burden – about an 38 percent increase in district tax rates. “It’s no surprise our local taxes have gone up,” she said during a discussion about the district’s 2013 financial audit earlier in the meeting. “Clearly the communi-
a delicious winter warm-up. The business continues to benefit from reviews and comments on social media about the quality of the food and drinks, its gluten-free menu options and the convenient location, according to a news release from the city of West Chicago. “For a small business like Changarro Restaurant to survive in the highly competitive food and beverage industry, it takes a tremendous amount of skill, perseverance and business savvy to differentiate itself and build customer loyalty,” the release stated. John Said, the city’s director of community development, said it’s an honor having a business like Changarro in the community. “They, like so many others that have and will continue to be recognized through this program over the years, have invested here, hired local residents and otherwise contribute to make the community a better place for all,” he said in the release. Mayor Ruben Pineda and city staff plan to visit each of the Brilliance in Business winners to personally congratulate representatives. A formal award presentation will be made at the Dec. 1 City Council meeting. Patel said he’d like to open another restaurant, but he wants to get his “black belt” in restaurant management first and make sure he knows everything about it before starting over again. “We didn’t know anything about the restaurant business when we opened,” he said. “So we’ve been learning on the fly.”

Kristin Hartshaw, a trainer at the DuPage Federation on Human Services Reform, said the number of working poor in the county – those who make less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level – has doubled from 1990 to 2011. One in four children in District 200 is identified as low-income, a 221-percent increase from 2000, according to Bright & Early DuPage. Children in DuPage County are three times less likely to get into a Head Start program, which are aimed at educating low-income students ages 5 and under, than those in Cook County. At the same time, DuPage is becoming more diverse, with a growing number of refugee and immigrant families who don’t speak English as a first language, said the federation’s Lourdes Lonergan. Children struggle to adjust to a new setting, and parents often find it challenging to get
involved with their child’s schooling. Ensuring students of all backgrounds have opportunities to succeed in school is the collaborative’s goal, Hartshaw said, and isn’t anything new for the county. “We’re all technically members of a social safety net,” she said. “Having worked in DuPage County for the last almost 15 years, I’m very pleased to say that we have that reputation of networking and working together to maximize our limited resources to address needs.” Jefferson Early Childhood Center Principal Stephanie Farrelly and Easter Seals DuPage & Fox Valley President and CEO Theresa Forthofer
said the collaborative also has potential to identify and assist students with disabilities and delays. “We know that one million children enter kindergarten with unidentified developmental delays and disabilities,” Forthofer said. “And our goal is to change that.” Moving forward, Robson said the collaborative will continue to identify gaps in its system and spread the word. The foundation awarded money to Addison schools in the spring to help start a similar program, and Carol Stream, Villa Park and Bensenville schools have expressed interest in doing so as well, she said.

WHEATON – One year after receiving funding from the DuPage Community Foundation, the Wheaton/Warrenville Early Childhood Collaborative is boasting growth and new relationships. The program, paid for by the foundation’s nonprofit, Bright & Early DuPage, focuses on early childhood education and opportunities for a diversifying and increasingly low-income DuPage County population. The first Bright & Early DuPage grant of $75,000 was awarded to Metropolitan Family Services to set up the collaborative in 2013. It was the initial installment of a three-year grant that, with the foundation’s $5 million endowment, had the potential to turn into a quarter million dollars a year in awarded grants.
By connecting nonprofits, government agencies and service organizations to students, family and staff in Community Unit School District 200, collaborative members believe they can begin to build a continuum of care. “It’s consistently those families where children are not well-prepared for kindergarten that need those resources and those extra services,” said collaborative Director Kathy Robson, at a breakfast meeting Nov. 13 at First Presbyterian Church. When the program was announced last November, there were about 12 organizations committed to opening dialogue and directing clients. That number has doubled, with more on the way, Robson said. The collaborative has also already worked with about 200 families. That investment in the future will be crucial in the coming years, she said.

Used in federal cases and 33 states as of 2014, according 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 Friday. Steele is due in court Dec. 12.

Family Shelter Service recently hosted a writing contest asking: “Has domestic violence affected you or someone you love?” The contest coincided with the release of Family Shelter Service’s new book, “Hope Grows Here: Stories of Resilience from Survivors of Domestic Abuse.” More than 300 submissions were received for the contest and following are some excerpts. Violence in the home was a common theme: “There was a storm inside COMMUNITY my house VOICE You had to learn to weather Maureen We huddled closely, shelMcGuire ter scant, To hold ourselves together. The lightning struck with sudden rage, And gave no siren warning. The wind ripped floorboards from our souls And did not heed the harming.” Others wrote about mothers and children: “My mother was my rock and I was her crutch. I did my best to keep her on her feet while her inner strength inspired me to continue down the path of childhood. When she collapsed on the couch sobbing, I was the one who hugged her, echoing her earlier sentiment that ‘things will get better.’ And she was the one who wiped away my tears after I was cornered by my father and gave me the guidance to live my life to the fullest as I got older. The physical reminders might not fade away with the whisper of time, but I would always be there, a pleasant memory within her fragile heart.” And one remembered the loss of a mother to domestic violence: “My mother’s name is Margaret, but now we spell it ‘g-o-o-db-y-e.’ My father doesn’t have anyone to yell at in the shadows of a prison cell. Now my mother’s in the sunsets; she’s the leaves dancing in the trees.” But there were stories of hope as well: “Looking at my life now, I see that what has happened to me has given me the greatest gift of understanding. I believe that there is more to me than my story. The darkness that once filled my heart is now full of light, gratefulness and compassion. It is filled with each person that I met on my journey, each glance of kindness, each empathetic listening ear.” Many of these stories demonstrate the hopefulness, strength and resourcefulness that make our work with survivors of domestic violence so inspiring. The top three submissions, which can be viewed at familyshelterservice.org, were chosen by best-selling author Adriana Trigiani, whose work includes “Big Stone Gap” and “The Shoemaker’s Wife.” Copies of the book “Hope Grows Here” are available at Amazon.com.

Cut the ignition I live in Lemont and I was visiting the Lemon Tree around noon Nov. 14. I noticed the vehicle parked a couple of spaces away from my vehicle was a Lemont Police officer’s vehicle. There were several other vehicles there from the police department, but this first vehicle had a plate of 2662. I went in, ordered and I sat down. I noticed the vehicle was there for all of the period of time that I was there. I left and it was still running and there was nobody in it. The vehicle kept on running. To me that’s not saving any money for the village of Lemont.
Hit the brakes on Berkley I wanted to continue to post about traffic on West Avenue [in Elmhurst]: As a resident on Berkley by St. Charles Road by the high school, we experience traffic and speeders constantly, especially during rush hour. The police have been notified about this. People like to use Berkley as a shortcut, but it’s still happening. People need to remember it’s a residential area and to slow down.

Thank you for publishing the teachers’ salaries a few weeks ago for School District 68. What we’ve found in our analysis is about one third of the teachers are making more than $90,000 a year. … Not saying they don’t work very hard for their money, but it just puts a lot of pressure on the taxpayers that pay their salaries. ... They’re supposed to be public servants, so we need to somehow in the next negotiations make tiers based on performance. If the students are performing at more than 90th percentile of the state’s criteria, then, obviously, they would earn that salary, but we’re gonna have to adjust the salaries back at least 10 percent in order for the property taxpayers to be able to afford living in Woodridge, Downers Grove and Darien. Our tax bills are astronomical. … We appreciate all you do, but enough is enough. You are indebted to the taxpayers and your salaries must be addressed accordingly.

Burns reflects on time with District 6 Forest Preserve
WCP Suburban Life • mysuburbanlife.com • Thursday, November 20, 2014 • CD
12
To the Editor: In the two years I served as District 6 Forest Preserve commissioner, I accomplished a great deal. On my goal of improving transparency, I instituted regular evening meetings, established a functioning ethics committee and voted for video of board meetings to be posted online. Through the publication of an annual report of my work, I let my district know that I lobbied for the district’s first expense-based budget, thus saving several million dollars. And I voted to reduce board member salaries. In addition, I initiated meetings with DuPage United to address their concerns. I continued my education in natural resource management through handson volunteer work and formal classroom courses. I toured the county on bicycle to assess trail connections. I met with individuals and with groups, participated in river cleanup and restoration days – and much more. Party politics never entered into my work with other board members. We worked together with admirable professionalism. We had some tough moments, but we also made great strides within a short time. I am grateful to every member of the board – and to the people in District 6 – for my experiences as commissioner. And while my preference would have been to continue serving as District 6 commissioner, I did not win the election, and so I will step down Dec. 1. A heartfelt “thank you” to the people in District 6 who recognized my commitment to our forest preserves by voting for me. My love of the district and my interest in natural resource management is not limited to an elected position. The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has something for everyone and I plan to stay involved. Maybe I’ll see you there!

Tired of your school board trying to keep the superintendent’s pay package secret? Download a nomination packet from the DuPage Election Commission (www.dupageco.org/Election/ Candidates/48208/), get your 50 signatures during a weekend and return it before the deadline.

Unless you become a candidate, we will continue with more than half our elective offices filled by folks that no one really chose.
To the Editor: The election for governor and congress is over, but more of our tax money is spent by elected local officials sitting on the insatiable school boards, struggling city councils and redundant other public bodies. They – more than 3,800 officials in just the suburbs – are up for election next spring, but by the time most folks start thinking about that, the window to submit papers to become a candidate will have slammed shut before Christmas. Despite the ridiculously early deadline designed to protect incumbents, it is still very easy to become a member of your local school board, city council, library, park or fire board, but time is short. For most offices, it takes only 50 signatures on a nomination paper to become a candidate (but only four signatures are needed to run for alderman in a certain ward in West Chicago, only 12 in Warrenville), and 53 percent of all school, city and Stan Zegel other local seats up this time Winfield

BOOKS “So, Anyway …” by John Cleese In this rollicking memoir, Cleese takes readers on a grand tour of his ascent in the entertainment world, from his humble beginnings in a sleepy English town and his early comedic days at Cambridge University (with future “Monty Python” partner Graham Chapman), to the founding of the landmark comedy troupe that would propel him to worldwide renown. Available Nov. 4. “Lila” by Marilynne Robinson In this new American classic from the Pulitzer Prize– winning author of “Gilead” and “Housekeeping,” one of the greatest novelists of our time returns to the town of Gilead in an unforgettable story of a girlhood lived on the fringes of society in fear, awe and wonder. Revisiting the beloved characters and setting of “Home,” “Lila” is a moving expression of the mysteries of existence that is destined to become an American classic, and is already a National Book Award finalist. Available now. “Mrs. Bradshaw’s Handbook” by Terry Pratchett Subtitled “to travelling upon the Ankh-Morpork & Sto Plains Hygienic Railway,” this beautifully produced gift-sized hardcover with black and white illustrations is Pratchett’s guide to the railways of his 40th Discworld novel, “Raising Steam.” Authorized by Mr. Lipwig of the Ankh-Morpork and Sto Plains Hygienic Railway himself, Mrs. Georgina Bradshaw’s invaluable guide to the destinations and diversions of the railway deserves a place in the

Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. 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.

MUSIC “1989” by Taylor Swift The seven-time Grammy winner continues her rise to pop stardom with the her fifth album, “1989,” which she calls her most sonically cohesive collection.

The second, “What’s Your 20,” is a two-CD digital compilation of essential tracks culled from the band’s previously released studio recordings. “Christmas at Downton Abbey” The hit television series is making a play for the music charts with a 45-track double CD featuring a festive version of the show’s theme song in addition to traditional hymns and carols.

Christmas in Elmhurst
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. • 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. • 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 only secret you need to know for successful holiday meal planning
(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."
CD • Thursday, November 20, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life
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.

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.

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

Glenbard West’s Sam Brodner tries to break a tackle Saturday during their IHSA state playoff game against Barrington at Glenbard West.
Clash of the titans Highly touted Glenbard West, Stevenson face off in semifinals By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com GLEN ELLYN – Illinois high school football observers were salivating over a potential Glenbard West-Stevenson matchup ever since the Class 8A playoffs brackets were revealed. And now that showdown between unbeaten teams is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at Duchon Field with a berth in the state championship game on the line. Simeon and Homewood-Flossmoor make up the other 8A semifinal. “Obviously they (Stevenson) are a great football team,” Glenbard West coach Chad Hetlet said. “They’ve been everyone’s No. 1 ranked team in the state and a lot of people
have been looking forward to this matchup. We’ve got to play our best game and play mistake free football to compete with Stevenson.” Hilltoppers quarterback Kyle Kramer actually goes to the same QB coach as Stevenson signal-caller Willie Bourbon. “We obviously haven’t played them before but we are very excited,” Kramer said. “It’s thrilling, it’s awesome, this is what we’ve been working for. I’m so glad we could reach this point.” For a while last Saturday, it didn’t look like Glenbard West was going to get past its quarterfinal matchup with Barrington. The Hilltoppers faced a 14-point deficit at halftime before scoring 21 unanswered
points over the final 24 minutes to prevail 28-21. A 41-yard touchdown run by Sam Brodner sliced the deficit in half late in the third quarter, and after Jeremy Pope recovered the ensuing kickoff, he ran it in for a 22-yard score, tying the game. “We executed in the second half the way we needed to execute,” Brodner said. “It worked out well for us and we’re blessed to be in this situation.” The game-winning TD then came on a 20-yard screen pass from Kramer to Donahvon Vaughn. Kramer also connected with Michael Darnell for a 50-yard score in the first half. Barrington had one final opportunity with the ball but its drive into Glenbard West territory ended on a fumble re-
covery by Declan Ryan. “I was running to the ball and saw it come out,” Ryan said. “And I knew I had to get the ball to help us get off the field. “I would say we didn’t start fast – so much credit to Barrington, they came out so physical, so fast. We came out of halftime with a lot of fire. We made some adjustments and played at another level physically. Now Ryan and his teammates get another chance at a home semifinal contest after losing to Lake Zurich 16-7 last fall. “I remember last year and playing the semifinal on our field against Lake Zurich and we lost,” Ryan said. “We have to have the best week of practice we’ve ever had. We have to get to work.”
of the top couple of teams in the state throughout the fall, Stevenson has lived up to that billing with a perfect 12-0 mark. After notching close wins against Lyons and Loyola to start the postseason, the Patriots defeated New Trier 38-10 in the quarterfinals. Glenbard West has matched Stevenson’s undefeated mark and enter the game following a 28-21 come-from-behind win over Barrington, the Hilltoppers’ fifth over teams from the Mid-Suburban West conference in the last two playoffs.

Queens of the court By JAY SCHWAB jschwab @shawmedia.com NORMAL – St. Francis girls volleyball coach Peg Kopec was musing about Mix it up at Lunch Day at St. Francis, in which students are encouraged to sit at different lunch tables than usual to interact with new people. She spoke in the context of a different postseason path that allowed the Spartans to meet Joliet Catholic in Saturday’s IHSA Class 3A state championship match rather than in sectional play, but the cafeteria imagery is versatile for the Spartans’ volleyball program, which continues to take everyone’s lunch money throughout the state. The Spartans powered past the Angels 25-18, 25-23 to win their third straight 3A state

Spartans senior Sarah Muisenga said she had no question St. Francis would finish the job
Saturday when she walked into Redbird Arena. “No. I could feel it,” said Muisenga, who supplied consecutive kills to open the second set. “Everyone was just so pumped and excited.” Junior outside hitter Molly Haggerty, the Spartans’ most intimidating player, came to the team’s rescue when the second set tightened late. Haggerty drilled kills to put the Spartans ahead 24-22 and then to close out the championship after the Angels inched within 24-23. Haggerty considers each year of the Spartans’ three-year reign distinctly delightful. “Last year obviously was really special playing with my sister and winning with Maddie,” said Haggerty, who eventually will follow Maddie Haggerty to play collegiately
St. Francis volleyball wins Class 3A title
at Nebraska. “And then this year for sure, winning with all the seniors. … I love them, I’ve known them since I was young, and especially Mary Boken. We’ve played together since we were 12 and that was our last game ever playing together, so this was definitely a big game and it meant a lot.” St. Francis (38-4) roared to an 8-1 lead to open the match, and Joliet Catholic (25-17) came no closer than four points the rest of the first set. Haggerty led the Spartans with nine kills while Boken and Kamryn Malloy added eight apiece. Boken, a four-year varsity player and Clemson recruit, gushed about her experience in the program, which included four state medals, beginning with a third-place finish as a freshman. “I could not be any more
grateful that I have been a part of this program,” Boken said. “Every one of my teammates throughout the years and all of my coaches have really shaped me as a person. When I was a freshman, I rarely talked, I really didn’t know what I was doing, I was really timid, and now I’m a totally different person.” Daniele Messa notched 28 of St. Francis’ 30 assists, and Haggerty (seven digs) and Malloy (six digs) demonstrated their versatility with solid defense. Breese Mater Dei, the Spartans’ semifinal victim Friday in a three-setter, won third place over Montini. The Spartans project to be bumped up to Class 4A next year as the IHSA implements its new success factor. Safe to say the rest of Class 3A wouldn’t mind the Spartans strutting into a new cafeteria.
St. Francis rides second quarter outburst into semis Area girl By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WHEATON – The last time St. Francis’ football team made it to the state semifinals, the season culminated with a state title in 2008. The Spartans are back in the state semis following a 4114 win against Hinsdale South in a Class 6A quarterfinal, but Clint Bobowski and his teammates aren’t looking at a state berth yet, even though they are on the cusp. “It means a lot,” Bobowski said. “It’s been a while since we’ve been this far, but we’re not satisfied. It’s a great accomplishment to get through the quarterfinals, but we just want one more each week.” St. Francis (10-2) scored four second-quarter touchdowns to pull away from the Hornets. Steven Fassnacht opened the scoring with a 9-yard run early in the first quarter, then Bobowski tossed touchdown passes to Matt Hanson, Tom Petrando and Chris Smith in the second quarter as the Spartans led 34-7 at intermission. Making it to the semifinals, where St. Francis will face off against a high-powered Nazareth team that won the East
Suburban Catholic Conference, is an accomplishment in itself. Doing so in Mike Fitzgerald’s first year as head coach is even more impressive. “We tell our kids all the time, ‘If you want things to happen, you have to believe in it,’” Fitzgerald said. “I think a lot of people on the outside might be surprised, but they don’t realize how hard these kids have worked and how committed they were in the offseason. “Something like this isn’t just a fluke. It doesn’t just happen. It’s a lot of hard work the kids put into it, and it’s a testament to what they’ve done to get here.” Four Nazareth offensive lineman have Division I offers, plus a few skill players are drawing college interest. The Spartans may not have that amount of next-level talent, but they do have solid senior leadership setting the tone. “We have a very talented senior class who have been playing together for a long time, and it’s been their goal [to get here], but they’re not satisfied,” Fitzgerald said. “They want to keep going and keep getting better each week.”

n OUTLOOK: Having faced a
challenging schedule this fall, this will be the ultimate test for St. Francis. Nazareth is ex-
tremely talented on both sides of the ball but especially on offense where the Roadrunners have scored 42 or more points in nine games this fall. The Spartans are also explosive out of their spread offense, one that is bolstered by the return of running back Steven Fassnacht from injury.

swimmers head to state SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
Saturday turned out to be a special day for the Glenbard South/West co-op girls swimming team, which had three relays and two individuals qualify for the IHSA state meet. The squad, which set five new varsity records, finished in third place at the event, compiling 203 points, just 11 away from runner-up York. Downers Grove North (229) was the champion. The 200-yard freestyle relay team of Annabel Davis, Paige Lay, Katie Armstrong and Vicky Reese was second in 1:37.57 and that same grouping, in a different order, also was second in the 400 free relay at 3:36.47. The 200 medley relay quartet of Lay, Hera Miao, Annie Meyers and Davis placed third with a qualifying time of 1:48.23. Lay advanced in the 100 free after touching the wall in 52.52 and Miao also moved on in the 100 breaststroke with a clocking of 1:07.27.
