SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WOODRIDGE – A Bolingbrook man is facing a slew of charges after allegedly trying to steal money from a cash register at Jewel-Osco in Woodridge. Christopher Ebensen, 24, was charged with attempted armed robbery, aggravated battery and retail theft, according to police. Police said he entered the store, 2319 W. 75th St., about 4 a.m. Nov. 25, approached the

customer service desk and removed a pack of cigarettes. When the offender reached the checkout l i n e , h e a t - Christopher tempted to steal Ebensen money from the cash register, police said. In response, the clerk shut the drawer, while a customer grabbed the offender from behind, according to police. The clerk then noticed that

the offender was in possession of a knife and immediately alerted the customer, police said. Ebensen then allegedly fled the store and was later apprehended after a foot pursuit in the area near the Jewel-Osco. The case is still under investigation, according to Woodridge police. Later that day, Woodridge police responded to a separate armed robbery incident about 8:10 p.m. at the Hair Cuttery, 2301 63rd St., Woodridge.

The Lisle Woodridge Fire District recognizes John Matthew Lindsey (right) on Oct. 28 for his “selfless act.”

Fire district recognizes Good Samaritan’s efforts SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WOODRIDGE – The Lisle Woodridge Fire District recognized a Good Samaritan last month. Fire officials thanked John Matthew Lindsey of Woodridge for his “selfless act” Oct. 28. About 1:14 a.m. that morning, fire officials responded to a residential fire in the 7800 block of Deerfield Avenue in Woodridge. There were six people home at the time of the fire, according to the fire district. Five of them were able to self evacuate, but a 20-year-old woman was trapped in the basement. Just prior to the arrival of emergency services, Lindsey

responded from across the street and was informed that there was a woman in the basement. He quickly went to a basement window, broke it and entered the home. Once inside, Lindsey located the woman and assisted her to the window, he lifted her up and out of the basement to safety. He was assisted by others out of the window. The Lisle Woodridge Fire District Board publicly thanked Lindsey for his life-saving efforts during a Nov. 12 board meeting. Board Vice President Jamie Lowe read the award into the record and board President Brent Frank congratulated Lindsey when he presented him with a plaque.

For information and to see a concert schedule, visit www.seniorsuburbanorchestra.org. Baumgardner, who plays violin in the orchestra. “It’s been a friendly cooperation and we’re glad that we had that place as long as we did,” Baumgardner said. “I don’t expect to be homeless Jan. 1, but we are still contacting places that would like to have us.” Oak Trace is part of the Lifespace Communities family of senior retirement homes. “It was a parking and a space issue,” said Lisa Ryan, director of communications for Lifespace Communities. “They are a rather large orchestra, and from a parking standpoint, they were taking up all the parking in the health center area so friends and family who came to visit [residents] could not find a spot to park.” Ryan said staff at Oak Trace has spoken with orchestra president Bob Bahrey about parking at a separate location and then finding a shuttle bus to take the orchestra members to the Oak Trace. “If they find a place that better meets their needs, we wish them well,” Ryan said. “If they would like to stay and like to be shuttled in, we would like them to stay at Oak Trace as long as it meets their needs.” In lieu of paying for rental space at Oak Trace, the orchestra would perform free concerts at the facility occasionally throughout the year, Baumgardner said. The group has several locations it is re-

“I don’t expect to be homeless Jan. 1, but we are still contacting places that would like to have us.” Ronald Baumgardner Violinist

searching in the hopes of a suitable replacement setting for the orchestra, and while the location doesn’t need to remain in Downers Grove, there are some particulars the group requires. “We are looking for a place that has room for a 50-piece orchestra to rehearse and chairs with no arms – it’s hard to play the violin with arms on chairs,” he said. “We would need a small storage space for some things. It would be nice not to carry the bass drum home every week.” Players hail from all over the western suburbs, including Downers Grove, Woodridge, Lisle and Bolingbrook. Downers Grove resident Florence Naprstek, 84, has been playing violin for the orchestra since its inception. “I’ve enjoyed the orchestra,” Naprstek said. “The players are from all walks of life with all kinds of experience. We have a pretty stable roster.” While the move is looming ahead for the orchestra, the group’s concert schedule so far has not been affected, with concerts on the docket for December at various retirement centers in the area. Naprstek said she looks forward to Tuesday afternoons when the group rehearses. “We have a lot of camaraderie and it’s fun to see them every week,” she said. “It keeps us on our toes.”

Q: Are wooden toothpicks safe to use? A: Sometimes the old wooden toothpick is just an accessory to a tough-guy image. Or the tool your mother still uses to hold together her canapes. But in some parts of the world, and in parts of the U.S., the old-style toothpick is still used as a dental hygiene tool. Certain types of modern toothpicks, flexible and tapered in a triangular shape, can be useful in removing plaque as a supplement to brushing and flossing. But be careful when using the traditional wooden toothpick. It has the potential to cause damage. Aggressive use of a stiff wooden toothpick can damage gums and enamel and can even loosen or damage restorations like veneers, bonds and crowns. In extreme cases, a toothpick could break an already weakened tooth. Toothpick use can also exacerbate the wear of roots, particularly in older people whose gums may have begun to recede. In rare cases, users have accidentally swallowed a toothpick and ended up with serious internal perforations. Children also find them attractive and pointy toothpicks are an obvious danger to young eyes and ears. Talk with your dentist about the potential role of any sort of toothpick in your oral hygiene plan. And ask the dentist about modern alternatives.

Boycott Wal-Mart

I hope everyone boycotts WalMart this holiday season. Look what they did to our towns where it once was a nice place to live with very little crime. Wal-Mart brought more lowclass people to the surrounding communities, not to mention how they treat employees who work for them. Support local stores and the ones that were here before Wal-Mart!

The soon-to-be-built 55 luxury condos in downtown Downers Grove is a horrible idea. Just imagine the daily traffic with the owners’ cars in and out. And what happens when an owner moves in and out? Will Maple be down to one lane with moving vans? It was announced at the Nov. 18 board meeting that there was no significant positive effect on Downers Grove downtown businesses can be traced to any of the already built condos in the downtown area. In other words, downtown condo development has not stimulated the lagging downtown sales.

Instead of investing resources in another survey or consultant, Westmont should live up to its current “Progressive Village” slogan or simply change it to the more accurate “Complacent Village.” The downtown area is overpopulated with resale shops and vacant properties. There is also tremendous opportunity for growth in the areas around 63rd Street and Cass Avenue. The strip malls in this area are an eyesore, waste of space and tremendous loss of tax revenue. The prospect of getting a Mariano’s will bring a lot of out-of-town dollars to the community, which is what makes any village progress, thrive and in turn, lower property taxes. This would be the first step to actually being a “Progressive Village.”

WOODRIDGE – The Woodridge Village Board recently approved a water and sewer rate increase effective Jan. 1. The new water rate will be $7.92 per thousand gallons. The wastewater maintenance fee will be $0.87 per thousand gallons, and the bimonthly Customer Service charge, which varies based on meter size, will see a 3 percent increase. The impact of these rate increases on the average residential customer who uses 11,000 gallons every two months is $7.49 per month, or about $15 per billing cycle, according to the village. Several factors have impacted local rates, according to the village, including the continued rate increases imposed by the city of Chicago and the DuPage Water Commission and needed capital investment in order to

maintain infrastructure and reduce unbilled water loss.

The Village will host a ComEd Town Hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 11, 2014, at the Public Works Building, 5101 Walnut Avenue. This is part of the Village's ongoing work to improve electricity service within the Village. The purpose of this meeting will be to report on the progress made during the past year. It is also an opportunity for residents to communicate their reliability concerns directly to ComEd Representatives.

IRS PHONE SCAM ALERT The Downers Grove Police Department alerts residents of a telephone scam. The resident receives a telephone call that appears to be from the IRS. The caller tells the resident that they owe taxes that must be paid immediately. The resident may also receive official looking emails associated with the scam. The criminals are armed with enough information and technological knowledge to convince unsuspecting victims that they owe money because they can recite the last four digits of their Social Security number. Payments to the scammers have been made with prepaid debit cards or through a wire transfer - payment methods that the IRS does not use. The IRS usually contacts those who owe taxes by mail, not by phone. The mail should be addressed to you only; if there is another name on the envelope, it may be some type of scam. Here are some important reminders from the Police Department regarding telephone solicitations: • Do not provide personal information to unknown callers. • If you're told to pay an advance fee to collect a prize, it's a scam. • Money Pak transactions are not refundable, cannot be reversed, and are not FDIC-insured. • If you feel you may have been the victim of any type of telephone or mail fraud, please contact the Downers Grove Police Department to make a report. If the scam involves the IRS, you may also report the incident directly to the Treasury's Inspector General at 800-366-4484.

December 1, 2014 thru January 16, 2015 The Village is collecting gently used coats and winter accessories for all ages. Drop boxes will be located in the lobbies of: * Village Hall, 801 Burlington Avenue * Police Department, 825 Burlington Avenue * Public Works, 5101 Walnut Avenue All items collected will be donated to Sharing Connections to benefit those in need in the community. Items will be collected through January 14, 2015. The coat drive is organized by the VOICE Committee, a voluntary group of Village employees with the goal of supporting humanitarian efforts in the organization and the Downers Grove community.

When light comes from behind a subject, such as from a window, the camera only reads the light and people will end up shaded. • In group shots, try to lineup faces so they are no more than 12 inches apart. When there are two rows of people, if the first row is seated, have the second row squat down by bending their legs, not bending forward. • When taking images of lit Christmas trees, use the nighttime scene setting with a flash. The flash will go off, but the shutter stays open to get natural lighting. • When shooting a portrait, don’t be afraid to use a telephoto or zoom lens.

Suburban Life

any parents fondly recall their first holiday season as a mom and dad. While youngsters may not remember much about their first Thanksgiving dinner with family or where their first Christmas present was placed under the tree, parents tend to cherish such memories, making their first holidays with children in tow very memorable. Loved ones of new parents can take steps to make this holiday season even more special. The following are some gift ideas for holiday shoppers who want to make this season even more memorable for the proud new parents in their lives. • Photo album: Today’s new parents have more pictures and video of their bundles of joy than any previous generation of moms and dads, as smartphones, tablets and other devices have made taking pictures much easier than in years past. But family members also have more access to such photos than ever before, making it easy to put together a special photo album of the new parents and their new child. Pull pictures from the parents’ social media accounts or make an album of the numerous photos you have no doubt received since your loved ones became parents. Parents likely don’t have time to make such albums, so your efforts will almost certainly be appreciated. • Camcorder: Many smartphones are capable of taking video, but such devices are not ideal for shooting longer home videos new parents will want to watch for years to come. An HD camcorder with sufficient internal flash memory can allow new parents to take longer, higher quality videos with superior audio to those that are shot on smartphones. Such a camcorder may be costly for those shopping on a strict budget, but it’s a gift new parents are sure to love and utilize for years to come. • Nursery sound system: New moms and dads are no doubt anxiously anticipating the day when the newest additions to their households sleep through the night. Help speed up the arrival of that glorious night with a nursery sound system that provides soothing sounds to create a perfect sleeping environment for newly born boys and girls. The results may not arrive overnight, but parents may soon find their lovable youngster is spending more of the wee hours of the morning sleeping and less time waking up mom and dad. • Spa treatment: Not every gift you buy for the new parents in your life needs to focus on helping them cherish their first holiday season as parents. New parents tend to experience lots of exhaustion in their first few months on the job, but a spa treatment can be just the relaxing break they need from catering to their bundle of joys’ every need. Moms may prefer the full spa treatment, while dads may simply want a massage and some relaxing time in the steam room. Book a treatment for both mom and dad so they can spend some time relaxing during this hectic time of year. New parents often cherish their first holiday season as moms and dads, and the right holiday gift can make that first holiday season even better.

we mixed non-holiday patterns in shades of purple and metallic gold," says Griffith. "These colors don't readily suggest Christmas, but we were able to create a rich, festive holiday feel by pairing these patterns with holiday accents. We filled glass bowls and compotes with rich-hued ornaments and incorporated gold finials in the table design. We created a centerpiece of silk florals in complementary colors which pulled the design theme together. One of my favorite things about this table is we can easily transition the look by replacing the gold hues with silver accents to create a table for our New Year's celebrations." Naturals are really popular again this year for both tabletop and holiday ornaments. Designs range from whimsical and folksy to more sophisticated and contemporary. Burlap offers great texture this season with manufacturers incorporating this material into everything from wire decorating ribbon to holiday accents. Griffith suggests using burlap for table runners or place mats and venturing outside to gather greenery such as ivy or magnolia leaves, berries and pine cones to use for your centerpiece. Vintage tableware continues to be a driving trend. Griffith says many people are including heirloom patterns, passed through the generations, in their holiday place settings to create a sense of family tradition, then mixing in newer patterns to infuse their own sense of style. He's also seeing smaller objects - such as vintage cookie cutters or toys - used as decor accents or to trim the trees. Griffith says you see some of the design schemes his team is creating for the holiday season and find additional decorating ideas on Replacements' Facebook page.

Mix white and silver patterns to create a frosty look for holiday entertaining. Ornaments make great accents or place card holders.

is the season for holiday entertaining. Icy shades of glistening white, sophisticated naturals and dazzling rhinestones top the hottest design trends in tableware and collectibles for the 2014 winter holidays. "Shades of white continue to be a customer favorite, both in ornaments and tabletop," says visual designer John Griffith. "For the past few years, holiday decor has hinted at glitz and glitter, but this season we're seeing more of a jeweled look with glamorous winter white designs heavily encrusted with rhinestones. It reminds me of when you wake up after a winter storm and everything is coated in sparking snow and ice." Griffith leads the design team at dinnerware retailer giant, Replacements, Ltd. He loves mixing patterns in shades of white to create an elegant monochromatic look, but adds that using white as a unifying element also allows one to create endless design combinations by blending in additional colors, textures and shapes. Teammate Keith Winkler says you can easily use a different salad plate for each guest to create fun individual place settings, or even switch out accent plates between holidays to give your tabletop decor a totally different twist. "For someone who entertains often, this is a great way to break up patterns so their guests don't always see the same designs over and over. Guests will enjoy the seasonal designs, and hosts will have all kinds of fun creating new looks for their table," Winkler says. Bright colors are also trending as hosts break tradition by adding in splashes of bold hues that aren't typically associated with the holidays. "In creating one of the table designs in our store,

etween decking the halls, visiting family and attending holiday parties, it may seem like there is little time to maintain a workout routine during the holiday season. While the holiday season is an especially busy time of year, men and women who plan and stay dedicated to their routines do not need to let their health fall by the wayside until January. Several studies show that people can gain anywhere from one pound to a few pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although that might not seem like a lot of weight, a report in The New England Journal of Medicine noted that many people never lose the weight they put on during the holidays. Those who struggle to keep the weight off understand the importance of maintaining both a consistent fitness schedule and healthy eating habits. This may be challenging when the rich foods and parties synonymous with the holiday season are around to threaten healthy habits. Here’s how to stay on course. • Establish a regular exercise date. Treat exercise as any other obligation on the calendar. Make it a necessity and not a luxury. Schedule time for workouts, even if it means removing something else from your agenda. • Don’t worry about the length of your workouts. If you’re accustomed to an hourlong workout but cannot fit in more than 20 minutes on some days, don’t skip the workout simply because it’s shorter. Make the most of that time by targeting larger, core muscles. • Change your schedule. You may need to alter your daily schedule to fit in gym workouts or other exercise. Try getting up earlier and heading out prior to work or school. This will open up time throughout the rest of your day, and you can use that time to meet the demands of the holiday season. • Get a trainer or a workout buddy. It’s far easier to blow off a workout when you go it alone. However, if you have a workout partner who is counting on you and vice versa, you may be less inclined to miss a workout — even when you’re not especially motivated to hit the gym. • Try new activities. Workouts need not be limited to exercises in the gym. Plenty of activities work the body and burn calories. Sledding, ice skating, skiing, and snowboarding are just a few winter sports that can help you stay in shape. • Choose a hotel with a pool or gym. If holiday travel is on your itinerary, select a hotel that has fitness equipment. This way you can keep up with your routine. Even swimming a few laps in an indoor pool can provide a cardiovascular workout while you’re on vacation. Remember, it only takes a two-week break from exercise to experience a fitness regression, and you will only have to work harder to get back to your current fitness level if you let exercise slide too long. • Add short, high-intensity exercises. Burn more calories in less time with high-intensity workouts. This way you won’t need to schedule as much time for workouts but will still get the benefit of exercise. • Transform chores into exercise opportunities. See that vacuum cleaner, rake or broom as a piece of exercise equipment. While cleaning up for holiday company, turn on the radio and get your heart pumping, too. Do leg raises while you’re preparing meals or do some pushups off of the kitchen counter. • Use your bodyweight. Even if you can’t make it to the gym, rely on your own body resistance for a thorough workout. Pushups, squats, burpees, mountain climbers, jumping rope, and lunges are some exercises that rely on bodyweight for effectiveness. • Periodically exercise during the day. If you have a few free moments here and there during the day, use these opportunities to exercise. By the end of the day, you may find you squeezed in an entire workout’s worth of exercise over the course of several 10-minute intervals. Exercise and fitness do not have to play second fiddle to other holiday activities. Make time for workouts, and you will be ahead of the game come the new year.

Holiday Recipe

Super fruit Cranberries bring tart and tang to the table LIZ WEST/ FLIKR

By Marge Perry Relish

What’s bright red, named after a bird, tart and tangy, and bounces? Yes, bounces. The answer is the cranberry. This little fact is more than amusing trivia. In the mid-1800s, John “Peg-Leg” Webb let his cranberry crop roll down the barn stairs, rather than attempting to carry it down on his one leg, and noticed that the good fruit bounced and the bad fruit just stayed wherever it landed. The “bounceboard separator,” which is still used today, is a direct result of his observation. Cranberries, one of only three commercially grown native North American fruits (blueberries and concord grapes are the others), were first cultivated in Massachusetts. It is said they got their name either from the crane-like shape of the blossom or from the fact that they provided a good source of nutrient-rich food for the cranes along the coastline. Native Americans used the berries medicinally — they made poultices to treat poisonous arrow wounds, used them fresh and dried in their cooking, and even made a pigment from them to dye rugs. Later, whalers discovered cranberries prevented scurvy, and in the past 20 years, study after study has solidified cranberries’ important role in preventing urinary tract infections. On our modern Thanksgiving table, we may serve cranberries for their health benefits or because of a deeply-rooted holiday tradition: it is believed that Native Americans brought cranberries cooked in maple syrup to that very first

he Greeting Card Association says Americans purchase some 6.5 billion greeting cards every year. Of those, around 1.6 billion are Christmas cards. Exchanging cards is a great way for people to show their loved ones that they’re thinking about them, and such cards make for festive ornaments to display around homes. But when the holiday season ends, recycling those cards into other items can make good use of the paper resources and turn what’s normally a single-use item into an enduring trinket.

| HOLIDASY GIFT GUIDE

any families have their own unique holiday traditions, but some traditions transcend familial lines to become an integral part of many people’s holiday celebrations. One of the more popular traditions during this festive time of year is to watch a favorite holiday film with family and friends. With that in mind, the following are some of the most beloved holiday movies ever to make it onto the big screen. • “It’s a Wonderful Life”: Perhaps no holiday film is more beloved than this 1946 Frank Capra-directed classic. Screen legend Jimmy Stewart plays a desperate businessman contemplating suicide during the holiday season. But a guardian angel helps him realize all the good fortune in his life by showing him what life might have been like if he had never existed. • “White Christmas”: This 1954 song-and-dance film stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as a pair of longtime friends and ex-military men who fall in love with a sister act team that includes famous singer (and aunt to George Clooney) Rosemary Clooney. Crosby and Kaye join forces to save the failing Vermont inn of their beloved former commander. • “Miracle on 34th Street”: Natalie Wood stars in this 1947 classic that follows the trial of Kris Kringle, who claims to be Santa Claus and must prove otherwise to avoid being institutionalized. Nominated for Best Picture at the 1948 Academy Awards, “Miracle on 34th Street” won three of the prestigious statuettes, including a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for Edmund Gwenn, who played the jolly old man in the red suit. • “Bad Santa”: Though not quite as heartwarming as many holiday films, this 2003 black comedy stars Billy Bob Thornton as miserable, alcoholic con man “Willie,” who poses as a mall Santa Claus so he can rob a department store safe on Christmas Eve. But in spite of its rather raunchy take on the holiday season, the film is ultimately a story of redemption as Willie befriends a bullied youngster and begins to turn his life around. • “A Christmas Carol”: Those looking for a more traditional take on holiday films need look no further than this 1951 adaptation of the Charles Dickens novella, which tells the tale of bitter miser Ebenezer Scrooge as he is haunted by three ghosts on Christmas Eve.

very Christmas Eve, children go to bed eagerly anticipating a visit from Santa Claus. This merry gentleman is purported to visit the home of every good girl and boy, delivering gifts and cheer along the way. Before the modern evolution of Santa Claus lived a very real and generous individual named Nicholas. In the third century, Nicholas served as the Bishop of Myrna in present-day Turkey. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, believing that giving should be done secretly and sacrificially in Jesus Christ’s name rather than one’s own. Stories tell of Nicholas paying the dowry for poor daughters to enable them to get married. He reportedly put coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him. It is believed Nicholas helped to restore the hope of hundreds of people in his community, making him a beloved and revered Bishop. Throughout his ministry, Nicholas fervently shared his life and fortune with others. Nicholas continued to be revered and commemorated by many Christians even after his death. His charity and unselfish works helped inspire generations of the faithful, and he eventually was named the patron saint of everyone from merchants to sailors to pawnbrokers. No one really knows what St. Nicholas looked like. But in 2005, a forensic laboratory in England reviewed historical data and photographs of the remains taken from St. Nicholas’ grave in the 1950s. Researchers concluded that he was a small man, perhaps no more than five feet in height, with a broken nose. This image certainly does not fit with the robust frame and other imagery awarded St. Nicholas in more modern years. St. Nicholas is believed to be the inspiration for Santa Claus, which was a name taken from the Dutch Sinterklaas, a contracted form of Sint Nicolass, or St. Nicholas. Tales of the real St. Nicholas’ giving spirit were blended with a fictional personification by New York-based newspaper writers who blended the St. Nicholas name with the appearance of a Dutch town citizen. The goal was to reach out to the primarily Dutch immigrants living in New York at the time. This jolly elf image was given a boost by the publication of “A Visit From St. Nicholas,” which was published around the same time. Eventually, the merry Santa Claus portrayal began to outshine the more accurate St. Nicholas version as a religious man, fostered by political drawings and caricatures that depicted Santa as a chubby sort in a red suit. That image prevails to this day. Beneath the Christmas symbolism, the beard and the presents associated with Santa Claus lies a tale of generosity that originated with St. Nicholas.

he holidays can get expensive, especially if you have a large list of family and friends to shop for, or if you are planning to host a party or two. There are some ways, however, that you can save money this year and potentially make your planning for the season a bit easier as well.

Be sure to start early so you can take advantage of as many money-saving opportunities as possible. And while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, try some of these ideas to keep more money in your pocket:

* Keep an eye on your email. Click on the promotional emails from your favorite retailers letting you know about special holiday discounts. If you have your shopping list - and gift ideas - already planned out, you can take advantage of these special promotions. * With your list in hand, use your computer to compare prices quickly on those items. You can search several stores in a matter of minutes, and also discover coupon codes or cash-back options through Ebates.com, resulting in additional savings. Plus, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to drive all over town wasting time and gas money!

* Thanks to the Internet and shipping, you can shop at almost any store in the nation. Use Ebates to find specialty stores and boutiques all across the country that may offer an item at a cheaper price than if you were to shop at a retail store with a middleman markup. * Take advantage of holiday free-shipping offers, and have those gifts or decorating supplies for your upcoming parties delivered to your home or office - or the recipientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. Some stores also will have gift wrapping available for a minimal cost, helping you to save additional time and money on wrapping supplies.

* Get some money back when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all finished. Ebates not only provides you with free shipping discounts or coupon codes, but also will give you a check back in the mail for a percentage of your purchases. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice way to celebrate the holiday season, knowing that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve saved money and have some extra funds left when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all done with your shopping.

ELMHURST – In the world of foodie indulgence, brunch has become king. Stacks of fluffy pancakes with farmer’s market berries and housemade creme fraiche fill up Instagram profiles. Breakfast foods with a dozen different kinds of artisanal ingredients dot menus across the country. But sometimes, you don’t want to have to pay $14 for a pair of eggs, some toast and potatoes. That’s an itch that Prairie Café in Elmhurst can scratch. The place has all the vibes of an old-school diner: the sizzle of a griddle in the back, a giant menu of your basic breakfast food variations and every classic sandwich you could hope for, all under $10. That comparison extends to the staff, too. I never saw the bottom of my coffee cup, paid for by a jittery remainder of the day. The owner of the cafe remembered me and where I sat across two visits a week apart – and seemingly everyone else who came in – and had the right balance of chatty attentiveness and respect for space. Interestingly, the middle of the restaurant has a meat counter filled with Boar’s Head products for sale. On my first visit, I tried the pancake sandwich, made up of three cakes, two eggs and a big slab of ham steak. The ham was appropriately salty, with a nice bit of color added by the griddle. The dish had good texture throughout, and the eggs and pancakes delivered plenty of flavor. My favorite bites of the meal were when I decided to go full-out “To Kill a Mockingbird” Walter Cunningham, and smother the whole thing in syrup. The sweetness of the syrup, pancakes and ham melded with the pork’s saltiness and eggy savoriness in a way I am not ashamed to admit enjoying. My second visit featured the lumberjack skillet, which

“We have a young, talented team that will progress as the season goes,” Olson said. “We should be very tough at some point this season, but could start slow based on our lack of experience.” Returning guard Mantas Augustinavicius – an effective role player who came off the bench last season – will be counted on early to command the offense, while new additions like 6-foot-5 versatile forward TJ Clifford adjusts to varsity game play.

Senior guard Colin Bonnett, who averaged 10 points per game in 2013-14, is the only returning Benet player with starting experience, while Dan Sobolewski recorded valuable minutes off the bench last season. But a roster comprised solely of juniors and seniors plus a top-notch coaching staff led by Heidcamp will keep the Redwings competitive in the ESCC. Benet earned a fourth-place finish at the Hoops for Healing Basketball Tournament, recording victories against Naperville North and Oswego East.

Outlook: The Raiders are hoping a veteran-laden lineup will power the team to its third consecutive 20-plus win season. All-state guard and Colorado State commit Prentiss Nixon is returning for his final season in a Bolingbrook uniform. He averaged 18.2 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 steals his junior year. Nixon will be flanked by Brodric Thomas, Devon Sams and Nate Webb on the wing, while Dimitri Akenten and the 6-foot-9 Julian Torres anchor the Raiders low post.

Outlook: With a bevy of guards back in the fold, Lisle is transitioning from an offense run through the low post to one that runs up and down the court. Led by returning junior guard Nick Massura, the Lions will be looking to push the tempo, wear out defenses and knock down open 3s. Although they may be undersized – the tallest player is 6-foot-2 senior center Jack Hennessy –head coach Mark LaScala believes the team will find success in its tenacious on-the-ball defense and bench depth.
