Donna Tavolino Mother

Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com

Samuel Tavolino, 6, of Woodridge gets his first look at his bedroom makeover, proclaiming it “awesome,” thanks to the nonprofit Special Spaces Chicagoland.

His mother thought it was a sinus infection but the next day he was diagnosed with leukemia.

After 30 days of rigorous chemotherapy, Samuel was declared in remission. He still is but has about another year of treatment left.

“The first year was horrible but now he gets the same [treatment] regime,” Donna Tavolino said.

“He’s a tough kid. He never complains and never cries.

He’s a very special kid.”

The bedroom remodel is the

14th room makeover for the Naperville-based Special Spaces Chicagoland, according to Kelly Knox, branch founder.

She said the organization usually creates one bedroom a month, adding that they’re already booked for all of 2014 and have a wait list for 2015.

For each room design, Knox finds a sponsor – Coldwell Banker in Samuel’s case – and then begins the eight-week process, she said, adding that most rooms take about 10 to 12 hours to complete.

“This is so gratifying every day ... it’s absolutely amazing,” Knox said. “This is the best feeling in the whole world.”

Special Spaces Chicagoland also works with From One Kid 2 Another – a Naperville-based charity started by Knox’s neighbors, Peggy and Kelly Chinn.

For Samuel’s reveal, From One Kid 2 Another provided new toys for him, his 8-yearold brother, Tristin, and his 4-year-old sister, Sabrina, courtesy of Imaginext Toys.

About five hospitals from the area reach out to Special Spaces, along with family members, friends and neighbors with children in need, according to Knox.

“Every child who’s sick deserves some happiness and that’s what we’re doing,” Knox said.

Once a child is chosen, a team from Special Spaces interviews the child to get an understanding of his or her favorite

colors, themes and wishes.

At the room reveal last week, Donna Tavolino said Samuel’s new room is “absolutely perfect.” “[Special Spaces] is one amazing charity that does amazing things,” she said, adding that she and her husband Mark hope to become more involved with the organization in the future.

Seeing her son excited and happy during the reveal was all that mattered, according to Donna Tavolino.

“He’s ecstatic,” she said.

“And 10 minutes of happiness for him to forget what he has to go through is absolutely priceless.”

While the family will never be worry free, she said once the treatment is over, there’s a 90 percent chance it won’t come back.

“Samuel’s gone through more in life than I ever have,” the mother said. “…No kid should have to go through this.”

WOODRIDGE – When Samuel Tavolino ran up the stairs to see his new bedroom last week, the only sound to be heard was the 6-year-old’s screams of, “Awesome!”

With red and blue walls, a hand-painted cartoon jet, helicopter and Captain America adventure scene, the Woodridge boy looked on at his newly renovated bedroom with true awe.

The dream bedroom was created by Special Spaces Chicagoland, a nonprofit group that designs and constructs bedrooms for children fighting critical illnesses.

Samuel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in March 2012.

For his mother, Donna Tavolino, seeing a smile on the face of her son warmed her heart.

“It’s bittersweet,” she said.

“It stinks that we’re in this position in the first place but then you find all these people who have so much good in their hearts and who are willing to do things for you and your family.”

One morning almost two years ago, Samuel woke up sick.

Program offers training for TreeKeepers D-99 students win TreeKeepers Scholastic Art Awards

By AMANDA FRAZER

msleditorial@shawmedia.com

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – District 99 student artists claimed more than 200 awards in a variety of art and writing categories from the 2014 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition.

On Sunday, North High hosted the Chicago-area regional exhibition that featured the winning pieces.

The exhibit will be on display this week.

More than 1,000 student artists from 30 area schools submitted 2,430 works of art for review. North High student artists won 93 awards, including 24 Gold Key Awards, 22 Silver Key Awards and 47 Honorable Mention Awards.

At South High, student Maria Padilla received the highest award – an American Vision Award nomination for her photograph “Lost.”

In addition, South High students merited another 127 awards, including 47 Gold Key Awards, 37 Silver Key Awards and 43 Honorable Mention Awards. Gold Key winners will advance to the national competition in New York; national winners will be announced in March.

“We are very excited to host the regional exhibition at North High,” Fine Arts Department Chairman Brayer Teague said. “This show is always an amazing display of student creativity and a testament to the wonderful art teaching that is happening in District 99.”

The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, which date back to 1923, are an opportunity for students to be recognized for their creative talents. Past winners include Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath and Truman Capote.

LISLE – Residents will again have a chance to impact the longevity of urban trees by taking a course offered through the Morton Arboretum this spring.

The Openlands TreeKeepers training program will be held Saturday mornings from March 8 to May 3 at the arboretum.

This series of eight, threehour classes will teach participants the biology of trees, how to identify tree species and how to monitor for insects and disease, according to an arboretum release. There will also be hands-on demonstrations for tree pruning and care.

“TreeKeepers gives people like you and me the tools they need to make a difference for trees,” said Megan Dunning, manager of community education and outreach at the Arboretum. “And making a difference for trees means a better future for all of us who live in the Chicago region.”

TreeKeepers are volunteers

For more information on the TreeKeepers course, visit www.mortonarb.org. For more information on the program or on Openlands, visit www.openlands.org.

CRITERIA TO BECOME A CERTIFIED TREEKEEPER - Attend all eight course classes - Pass written exam - Complete practical exams on tree planting, mulching, pruning - Pledge to volunteer 24 hours within year following graduation - Participants encouraged to be 18 years and older - Ages 16 and 17 are allowed, but must be accompanied by an adult attending course Source: Daniella Pereira, regional forester with Openlands

who plant, protect and advocate for trees in their communities, Dunning said.

The TreeKeepers program first came to the Arboretum last fall through a partnership with Openlands, a conservation organization that protects

the natural and open spaces of northeastern Illinois and the surrounding region to ensure cleaner air and water, protect natural habitats and wildlife, and help balance and enrich lives.

Both the Arboretum and Openlands participate in the Regional Tree Initiative, a strategy to improve the vitality and sustainability of the region’s trees, according to www.mortonarb.org.

Daniella Pereira, regional forester with Openlands, oversees the TreeKeepers program.

She said it was created to focus on tree protection and continued maintenance and is one of the only comprehensive tree care programs working with volunteers in the Chicago area.

“What makes TreeKeepers unique is that our certified stewards adopt and care for trees and green space for the long term,” Pereira said. “It is not until trees age that their full environmental, social and economic benefits are realized.”

Your Dogs Home Away From Home While You’re On Spring Break Vacation….

Who’s Going Love and Take Care Of Your Beloved Pet Florida, Hawaii, or the Bahamas…..Where are you going for Spring break? You don’t care as long as you’re not here and it’s warm … right? The temperature has been relentless and brutal.

Basically I feel like that old pizza that you forget about in the back of the freezer that hasn’t been seen in a year. Frozen and covered in ice crystals that have actually burned the food by being too cold for too long.

Too long is right…. Now that you know you’re going someplace warm do you have a place for your pet to enjoy their time away during their vacation? …No well maybe I can help you in making that decision.

Firstly I know how hard this is…you’re not sure if the neighbors can watch them or the in-laws have the time…they like to go on vacation too.

Secondly what are the options, vet…kennel….day

care center…how do you decide? (drum roll please) Solution… you gotta Do A Tour.

You Gotta meet the people.

As you know …You know your pet best. You will make your decision based on how you connect with that person that will be in the care of your pet.

It takes a bit of time to visit and get a feel for the people but its really the best way to do it.

I know I’m biased because this is what I do but having done this for nearly 13 years this is what people say to me. They are glad that they came out to visit us and they were very happy to see the facilities and go through the daily routine.

I can say all sorts of nice things but here are some of our reviews…

12/8/2010 David from Willow Brook We been using this kennel for 8 years. We are very happy with the care and attention our 2 dogs receive. The dogs are actually excited to go there!

The staff play with them daily and give them baths before pick-up.

5/25/2012 Mike from Lombard These guys are awesome. Other than the dog park, this is the only place that my dog actually gets excited when we pull up in the parking lot. They’re always nice, they LOVE my boxer Fenny, and she’s always in high spirits when we pick her up. We will continue to always use this place.

I have talked your ear off…if you have any questions please give us call at 630-969-3145.

We actually live on the property with our pet clients so this is more than just a job… this is home for us Give us a call at 630-969-3145 we would love to show you our little slice of heaven.

About Brian Pawola Age: 27 Residence: Woodridge Hometown: Naperville, Chicago College: Bachelors degree in marketing from the University of Iowa

Woodridge man to open Lemont brewery

WOODRIDGE – The space may be empty now, but Woodridge resident Brian Pawola has big ideas [for what] it will be when he opens the Pollyanna Brewing Company in Lemont.

Pawola, who is the head brewer and founder of the business, hopes to have his beers on tap in Lemont at 431 Talcott Ave. and other area towns by this summer.

The brewery is a major career change for the 27-yearold, who formerly worked in healthcare IT. Pawola sat down with Suburban Life reporter Dan Farnham at the future location of his business to discuss how he came to own a microbrewery.

Farnham: How did you get started in the brewing business?

Pawola: Professionally I

TAX TIPS

MEDICAL EXPENSES could be important deductions for 2013.

Since our out-of-pocket medical costs keep rising (and our incomes are less due to lower interest rates), you should check your expenses, including: • Medicare insurance and the drug premium • Insurance premiums - paid by you (after, not pretax) or deducted from your pension and Cobra costs • Non reimbursed medical and especially dental costs • prescription drugs • hearing aids and batteries • medical mileage @ 24 cents/mile • long-term care insurance While medical expenses are only deductible over 7 1/2% of your adjusted gross income - now over 10% if under age 65 - many taxpayers are itemizing this year since their medical costs plus real estate taxes, contributions and sales tax deduction add up to more than their standard deduction.

SRAUSS TAX SERVICE can check your medical expenses. We can prepare your 2013 Federal and IL taxes, answer your many questions for 2014 and save you money. We are located at 624 62nd Street, Downers Grove and are open from 9AM - 9PM daily.

got started by going to the Siebel Institute of Technology and doing their master brewer program. I did that last February. That’s a sixmonth program at one of the best brewing schools in the world. It involved two months in Chicago – just bookwork and studying. Then it’s four months in Germany, where it’s all hands-on brewing experience and technical training under professional German brewers, which are notoriously the best in the world. So, it was a very intense, rigorous six months, but I pretty much learned everything it takes to run a brewery, produce good beer and distribute it across the country, which we would like to do.

As snow falls, Kylie James, 9, of Wheaton pokes her head through the hole provided in the “Kissing Booth” ice sculpture for a family photo.

Photos by Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com Ice sculptors from Nadeau’s Ice Sculptures demonstrate their art Sat- On Saturday, ice sculptor Patrick Stewart puts the finishing touches on his snowflake ice sculpture with a urday for Ice Fest in downtown Downers Grove. blowtorch, turning it crystal clear.

Ice Fest displays ‘art for the moment’

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Jim Nadeau and his team will sculpt nearly anything a client can dream, from a 100-footlong train filled with cookies for Nabisco, to Michelangelo’s “David” used in the film “My Best Friend’s Wedding.”

But, like a gourmet meal, the opportunity to marvel is fleeting, and in a matter of hours the ice sculptures are gone forever.

“It’s art for the moment. I know it’s going to disappear,” he said. “It’s planned obsolescence.”

Nadeau learned the skill while working as a line cook in the early 1970s. Back then, chefs created ice swans and other banquet pieces with hand tools, not chain saws.

“They told me I was nuts because, at that point, there were no ice carving companies in the U.S. That was 34 years ago and we’re still doing it.”

Jim Nadeau Ice sculptor

“It would take a very long time to do some very basic stuff,” Nadeau said. “I just immediately fell in love with the concept.”

His first attempt didn’t even last long enough to melt, he said. His mentoring chef knocked it off the restaurant loading dock with a swift kick and a German-accented insult in a moment of what might be generously described as motivational.

Nadeau kept at it, and in 1980, he left his job with Marri-

ott Hotels to start what might be the first ice sculpting business in the country, Nadeau Ice Sculptures, based in Forest Park.

“They told me I was nuts because, at that point, there were no ice carving companies in the U.S.,” he said. “That was 34 years ago, and we’re still doing it.”

This weekend, Nadeau and his staff hauled dozens of 300-pound blocks of ice to the annual Downtown Downers Grove Ice Festival. The 40 Win-

ter Olympics-themed sculptures gracing Main Street businesses were the work of his team, as were the live ice sculpting demonstrations each day of the festival.

The art of ice sculpting has come along way from hand chisels. Nadeau Ice Sculptures can cut pieces at the shop using computer designs paired with an automated drill called a CNC machine, typically used to make exact corporate logos out of ice for events.

And, of course, there’s the crowd-favorite tool, the chainsaw, often used by the sculptor along with a dremel.

The saw is a change of pace for artist Al Ramirez who has carved for Nadeau for about eight years.

On his own time, Ramirez makes large, intricate drawings that can take days to create

in his Pilsen studio. It’s quite the opposite when he comes to work with power tools.

“I really like how fast it is,” he said. “You can knock out an ice sculpture in an hour.

You’re working at the speed of the chain saw.”

How they make the ice Nadeau said they use the clearest water they can buy to ensure the ice is clear, similar in quality to a bottled spring water. The water is frozen in 300-pound tanks at 22 degrees, the entire time agitators move the water around to force out air. Then an electric hoist lifts the blocks from the tanks using steel clips frozen just a half-inch into the ice.

Each block takes four days to freeze. The business has 45 tanks, staggered to make about 90 blocks a week.

want them to be proud of this brewery, as well.

• BREWERY

Continued from page 4

Farnham: What kind of features take my passion for brewing and make a career out of it. And are you planning for the brewery?

Pawola: We’re going to have the best way to do that was by going to the Siebel Institute of Technology and doing it right, rather than just opening a brewery as a homebrewer and learning as I go. With the professional education that I got, I think we’re going to be able to do things right from the beginning.

Farnham: How did you chose this location in Lemont?

Pawola: We found this location by accident. One of our founders was actually at the vet next door. They were talking about how we were looking for a space, and our neighbors said that this space right here has been open for five years.

So they took him over, and they looked at it right away. He knew it would be perfect for a brewery because there’s plenty of space downstairs and a perfect spot for a tap room upstairs.

We chose Lemont, as well, once we saw the space because we like the small, historic feel that it has. A lot of people are very proud to live in Lemont … We

a tap room upstairs. It will comfortably seat 45 people. We’re going to have 10 to 12 of our own draft lines. We’ll be serving only our own beer. We won’t have any food, but we are welcoming people to order food in from local restaurants … We’re going to have very approachable but experimental beer.

We’re going to have something that people that aren’t very familiar with craft beer can get into right away. But, we’re also going to have things that the biggest craft beer fans out there are going to want to seek out. … We have the capcity to brew 3,000 barrels of beer a year to start. We have the room in the brewery to double that.

Farnham: When do you plan to open?

Pawola: We’re going to hopefully start brewing in May and have the tap room open in June. We need about a month to get enough inventory of beer for other places as well as our own tap room.

The TreeKeepers program originated in Chicago, but participants from the suburbs and other counties have traveled to participate, as Openlands is a regional organization, Pereira said.

As part of the Regional Tree Initiative, the TreeKeepers program will continue to expand to one county per year to make it tangible to residents who live in that county, Pereira said.

TreeKeepers expanded to DuPage County last year, as

the first county to be chosen for the program’s expansion.

The arboretum was chosen as the host site of the program because of its strong turnout of participants in the Regional Tree Initiative, Pereira said.

“Each year as the program gains in strength and numbers, advocacy for trees will expand and the health of our urban and community forests will improve,” Pereira said.

“Hosting the class [at the arboretum] is a plus because the faculty uses the arboretum as an outdoor classroom.”

Dunning emphasized the importance of the TreeKeep-

ers program, as municipalities around the Chicago region are making cuts to staff in charge of managing and caring for trees. This, along with the 12.7 million ash trees in the Chicago region affected by the Emerald Ash Borer that need to be treated or replaced, has created a need for TreeKeepers, Dunning said.

“Sometimes it seems as though every time we go online or open up the newspaper, we’re faced with another story about damage to the environment,” Dunning said.

“I find the best medicine for these messages is action.”

He pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a class 2 felony, in December.

The family of the victim has filed a lawsuit against Theodore and the fitness center, alleging that it failed do a background check on Theodore, who in the 1980s was convicted of attempted sexual abuse of an 11-year-old in Arizona, according to media reports. The lawsuit is pending.

7 men indicted in cellphone store armed robberies SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

WRR/LIS

Seven defendants were indicted on federal charges for their roles in a series of six cell phone store armed robberies last year that extended from suburban Chicago, including Woodridge, to Indiana and downstate Illinois.

Eric Rogers, 39, of Hazel Crest and Eric Curtis, 29, of Park Forest were arrested in December after a cellphone store in Woodridge was robbed, according to a news release from the United States Attorney’s Office Northern District of Illinois.

The pair allegedly directed a robbery conspiracy by selecting the stores that were robbed, recruiting their co-defendants to participate in the robberies, providing them with firearms and other equipment and paying them to commit armed robbery at their direction.

Rogers and Curtis were each charged with one count of robbery conspiracy, three counts of robbery and two counts of brandishing firearms. Curtis was also charged with being a felon-in-possession of a firearm, which carries a maximum 10year sentence. Both are being held in federal custody without bond.

A federal grand jury indicted the other five defendants Feb. 6.

Marcus Harris, 20, of Chicago,

Daniel Wright, 28, of Chicago, Tony Johnson, 20 of Harvey, and Lavell Hughes, 41, of Gary were charged with one count each of robbery and brandishing a firearm. Andre Wadlington-Anthony, 27, of Harvey was charged with two counts of each of those charges, according to the release.

The seven defendants, in various combinations, allegedly committed armed robberies at six cellphone stores, including a T-Mobile on Dec. 14 in the 1000 block of West 75th Street in Woodridge.

The indictment alleges Rogers and Curtis conspired with Rogers’ cousin, Ryan Rogers, who was shot and killed following the March 19 Norridge robbery after driving toward a Chicago police officer who was attempting to stop his vehicle, stated the release.

Each count of robbery carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Each count of brandishing a firearm carries a consecutive, mandatory minimum of seven years in prison and a maximum of life.

The FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force comprised of the FBI and the Chicago Police Department investigated the case with the help of Woodridge, Addison, Deerfield, Homewood, Norridge, LaPorte, Ind. and East Peoria police departments.

Helping with special transition to adulthood For more than 15 years, District 99 proudly has offered continued educational services to hundreds of students through our Transition 99 Program.

Transition 99 serves older students between ages 18 and 22 who have cognitive and other health impairments. Instructors focus on teaching vital life and work skills to equip these young people with the foundation they need to grow – and to become productive adults in our community.

Transition 99 students are special and require a special space in which to learn. In fact, best practices in special COMMUNITY education include providVOICE ing a learning space in the Jim community for transition-age Kolodziej students.

On Jan. 21, District 99 opened its doors to anewly rehabbed, dedicated space for this program at 4232 Venard Road in Downers Grove. The 10,000-square-foot facility is equipped with a vocational work room (to house the program’s shredding business), laundry facilities, four classrooms, a living area, a conference room and office, a kitchen and bathrooms, including a shower. It includes everything a student needs to practice independent living.

Before we purchased the Venard property, we contacted architects to see if the estimated development costs were economically feasible. After the financial analysis, we found that without a doubt, the property was ideal. The district would be able to support the facility cost and construction out of existing funds – and without raising taxes. The District 99 Board of Education recognized the opportunity and unanimously approved moving forward with the purchase for the new, permanent site.

When we purchased the property less than a year ago, it was an empty shell. Staff members planned and worked closely with our parents, architects, construction professionals, the village of Downers Grove and the Downers Grove Fire Department in a true community effort to transform the space.

All of the operational, technology, water, sewer and safety systems were designed from scratch and installed. Walls were put up and painted we put down tile and carpet. We’ve experienced a flurry of construction activity since November, and the project came in on budget and on time.

The facility has been transformed by our redesign and construction, but more importantly, we believe the space will transform our students into the contributing members of society they are destined to become.

Jim Kolodziej is the director of facilities at District 99, which includes North High School and South High School in Downers Grove.

Transition 99 student Mary Prades of Woodridge uses the Smart Board during class Feb. 3. The students are learning life and job skills in the new facility.

Last week, we told you how proud District 99 and its special needs students are of their new, $1.8 million Transition Center. They certainly should be proud. The center teaches the district’s 45 or so special needs students invaluable life and job skills, preparing them for the transition into life after high school.

District 99 student-artists recently claimed more than 200 awards in a variety of art and writing categories from the 2014 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition. North High will host the Chicago area regional exhibition that will feature the winning pieces this week.

Q: When should a child first visit a dentist?

A: As a rule, a child should see a dentist by age one, or within six months of the first tooth’s eruption. Some parents put little thought into the care of so-called ‘baby teeth’ because they’re going to fall out anyway. The fact is, baby teeth are important in many ways, including their role as place holders for the permanent teeth.

On the first visit, the dentist will examine the child’s mouth, teeth and gums and explain to the parents how to effectively keep the area clean. He also may have some nutrition tips. The dentist will also be able to evaluate the impact of any habits the child may have developed, like thumb sucking. Tooth decay can develop any time after your baby’s teeth appear. By his first birthday, your baby could have eight or more baby teeth. And if one of them is causing pain, he or she won’t be able to communicate that fact.

Another consideration in favor of the early visit to the dentist is the opportunity to start a good relationship between the doctor and the patient. The dentist, based on his or her examination, will be able to recommend a schedule for future visits. As with any medical issue, the earlier any sort of dental problem is recognized in your child, the easier it will be to correct it. Talk with your own dentist about the best steps to take with your infant.

I just read in Suburban Life this week about the Downers Grove disposal program for drugs, which is wonderful. I just want people to be aware of the fact that, and I am a Downers Grove residence, for years at the Lisle police station, you’ve been able to walk in and put your drugs in a box without making an appointment and sometimes that may be more convenient. So anyhow, I just want everybody to know about it. I think it’s wonderful Downers Grove is finally offering this program. But I think it would be easier for a lot of people if they don’t have to make an appointment, they can just drop their drugs off, which I’ve been doing for years.

Metra riders voice complaints at open forum

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – DuPage County Metra riders voiced skepticism Monday night that weather is entirely to blame for long waits, delays, crowded platforms and other recent issues with the rail service.

More than 50 users of the mass transit service voiced complaints with Metra Executive Director Don Orseno and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Suburban Services Director Pat Casler during a question-and-answer session Monday at Naperville City Hall. It was hosted by State Reps. Ron Sandack and Darlene Senger.

“When is Metra going to stop using weather as an excuse?” Naperville resident Roy Ozol asked. “This morning my train was 15 minutes late, the person who was on the train before me, her train was 35 minutes late.”

Ozol also asked why Monday night’s meeting was not announced over the Metra’s PA system.

“If the purpose of this meeting was communication,

why wasn’t it announced on the trains or the train station?” he said.

Orseno, recently named full director following a period as interim director, expressed sympathy with riders and said the rail service is looking to improve its performance.

“We’re going to take every suggestion and every comment that you have, and we are going to truly work on it,” he said.

Lisle rider Dan Donnelly said he’s used the train for 17 years, and said the service has become less consistent and more problem-prone in recent years.

“I’m afraid that Metra is basically hiding this problem behind the bad weather,” he said. “It’s performance during the bad weather was abysmal.

But you know what, we can get past that. The problem is that Metra’s performance over the last several years has been abysmal. Whether it’s the spring, the summer or the fall, we have a switch problem, we have a mechanical problem, we have a freight

train problem. It’s every single problem. Ten minutes late is the new normal.”

Casler replied, saying the 37-year on-time performance average was 94.5 percent, which was the same number last year. She said the number this past September and October was 97 percent. On-time is defined as arriving within 5 minutes of schedule.

Metra riders in attendance had a hard time believing the figures, and expressed further frustration with what they described as unpredictable and late arrival times.

“I think the thing that’s most frustrating for me is the scheduling and the uncertainty, the fact that you just don’t know when to show up for a train,” Naperville resident Kevin Madden said.

Orseno said the rail line is in the process of adding a “real time train tracker” so that riders can see exactly when their train is scheduled to arrive. He said that will likely be in place by summer.

Are you sufering with

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis?

Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel?

Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer?

Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system?

Have you given up and decided to just live with it? he digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, my name is Dr. Jefrey E. Forzley with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-‐Metabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders. here are many essentials required for proper digestion.

Let’s talk about a few…

Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer.

Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut.

Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

system. hey play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies.

Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inlammation and detoxifying the body.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins.

But with the help of Dr. Forzley, my body is on the way back to an optimal state for long term health and happiness.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and diiculty concentrating.

Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects of the tissue destruction.

If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason.

Medications are not always the long term answer.

30 minute consultation:

Holistic therapy can manage digestive conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause and…

2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

WESTMONT – A Westmont man allegedly pretended to purchase a bottle of water before grabbing money from the register at two Darien gas stations last week, according to a Darien Police Antonio D e p a r t m e n t Castillo news release.

Antonio Castillo, 39, 1136 Florence Ave., was charged Feb. 5 with two counts of felony robbery.

At about 11:40 p.m. Feb. 4, Darien police responded to the Circle K Shell gas station, located at 8975 Lemont Road, for a report of a robbery.

The clerk reported a male entered the gas station, used the washroom and then brought a bottle of water to the counter. The offender then grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and fled in a vehicle southbound on Lemont Road, according to the release.

No injuries to the clerk were reported.

Then about 2:40 a.m. Feb. 5, Darien police responded to the Shell gas station located at 8226 Cass Ave. for a robbery.

The offender brought a bottle of water to the counter, then grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and fled south on Cass Avenue to southbound Interstate 55.

The clerk received a minor injury to his finger when the register was opened, but no medical attention was required, according to the release.

At 2:54 a.m. Feb. 5, an Illinois State Police trooper on patrol located the vehicle and subject matching the description of the offender in the two Darien robberies parked at a Shell gas station, located at Route 53 and I-55 in Bolingbrook.

Castillo was taken into custody with assistance of Bolingbrook and Darien police.

Cass Ave., often hear strange noises or see different “events” take place since opening her bakery at 20 N. Cass Ave. “At Christmastime, there were some cookies that had disappeared,” Fleming said. “I knew they were made … and a week later, the cookies were on the cart ... I said, it must be Mrs. Lindstrom and at that time a pan came flying off the shelf between us.

“She doesn’t hurt us, she just entertains us. We just leave her alone … she’s not harmful and she doesn’t scare us.”

Eleanor Lindstrom owned Lindstrom’s Bakery in the same space from some time in the 1960s through the early 90s, according to Fleming, whose Westmont business opened about three years ago. Lindstrom passed away on Dec. 17, 1995.

• METRA Continued from page 14 Orseno detailed the wide spectrum of challenges caused by extreme cold and repeated snowfall. Weekly tasks that typically take 10 minutes, like replacing train’s brake shoes, can take up to an hour because of ice. Most of his remarks focused on the effort to keep rail switches free of snow and unfrozen.

Many switches have natural gas burners that keep a flame to the switch, melting ice and snow. But he said when temperatures hover around zero for several days in a row, that is often not enough. There is also the problem caused by snow build up on the tracks.

When a faulty switch causes a delay, there is a cascading effect on all subsequent trains.

“You could have one switch failure and have 30, 40, 50 delays,” he said.

Casler also mentioned other long-term issues, including inadequate funding for capital purchases like spare train cars.

“On the shorter-term basis we have a lot of mechanical problems with locomotives, in May especially,” she said, adding that there have been improvements.

Since then, diagnostic tests on train fuel systems led to improvements that have reduced those mechanical problems, she said.

Restaurant reviews

Thai Pot stirs affection for traditional cuisine DOWNERS GROVE – Thai fare has become more commonplace over the years, and, like many other adopted cuisines, often more Americanized. Breading, cream, sugary sauces and less traditional spices frequently are incorporated. Thai Pot seems to resist that temptation, offering authentic flavors and food, to good result.

During my first visit to the restaurant, I stopped by for lunch. Tucked into a strip mall in Downers Grove, the storefront eatery has a bright, appealingly decorated interior.

The full menu is not available midday, when the restaurant focuses on a selection of weekday lunch specials, which are fairly diverse and very well priced. For just under $8, you get soup, the appetizer of the day and a well-portioned entree.

The meal started with a simple yet delicious chicken and jasmine rice soup. It reminded me of my mom’s best chicken noodle, but the jasmine and a smattering of other Thai spices gave it an extra layer of savory that really set it apart. All the components were cooked well, and the broth had an almost buttery texture.

The aromatic fish sauce and spices in the red curry with tofu, which usually are muted by lots of coconut sauce, wafted my way as the server approached the table.

The emphasis was on the spicy chili sauce in the curry, a dish overflowing with veggies and tofu.

The tofu itself melted in my

mouth. It was boiled, not fried, giving it an eggy texture.

After the satisfying lunch, I was curious to check out the full menu, and followed up another day with a dinner visit.

I started with an order of Shrimp Cigars – admittedly chosen because of the great name. They were big plump shrimp, tail-on, alongside Thai basil and a bit of onion, all wrapped and fried in a wonton wrapper. The visual was a great one, and the presentation allowed the shrimp to stay the star.

My entree of spicy basil leaves with chicken had a great blend of flavors, particularly the sauce. It contained just enough basil to add a nice punch. I would have liked even more of the gravy, simply because it was so good.

Thai Pot’s greatest strength is its commitment to authenticity. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines – I love the Americanized versions just as much as I love the ones straight from the recipes of Thai grandmothers – and Thai Pot managed to throw in a couple flavors I hadn’t experienced before.

Diners who would like to push their boundaries a bit, or those who already relish the more traditional flavors, will want to find out what’s cooking at Thai Pot.

Downers Grove South’s Matt Zinnecker brings the ball upcourt in a Jan. 18 game against Kenwood. Zinnecker and the Mustangs used the 3-point shot to emerge with a win in Saturday’s crosstown game against Downers Grove North.

Deep ball lifts South in crosstown rivalry

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Kris Olsen compared the 3-point shot in basketball to a home run in baseball in terms of its impact on a game.

“It’s like a deep home run in baseball,” Olsen said. “I hear the chatter around the school and the community – this team can shoot the ball. When we begin to hit 3s early, our crowd really gets into the game.”

The Downers Grove South boys basketball coach saw his team hit plenty of home runs in Saturday’s crosstown clash

Trojans’ comeback for a 68-55 victory.

It’s not only the Mustang guards who are willing to pull DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH LEADERS up from downtown – the for• Kovas Rugienius: 17 points wards and centers also like to • Danny Spinuzza: 12 points get into the mix. Seven different South players hit 3sagainst DOWNERS GROVE NORTH LEADER North, and center Kovas Rugienius tied guard Paul Engo Devin Blake: 24 points III for the team lead with three 3-pointers.

“That’s our game,” Rugieagainst visiting rival Downers nius said. “We run an uptempo Grove North. The sharp-shoot- offense and we like to get up ing Mustangs nailed 5-of-8 and down the floor. If a player shots from behind the arc in has an open three, he will take the first quarter, building a it.”

lem pushing the ball up court and finding shooters in the early going against North. Engo, Rugienius, Danny Spinuzza and forward Matt Zinnecker all sunk 3-pointers before the Trojans recorded a point.

But Downers Grove North closed the first quarter on a 10-3 run to cut the deficit to single digits.

In the second quarter, the Mustangs nailed 3-of-7 from 3-point range, carrying a 33-22 lead into halftime. For the game, Downers Grove South knocked down 11 shots from long distance, compared to five Downers Grove North 3-pointers.

“We wanted to play at our pace tonight,” Olsen said. “We wanted to play fast and uptempo. When we are able to execute that, it creates offense for our shooters.

“North came out on us and pressured us in the second half so we started slashing to the basket and being more selective with our 3-point shots.”

The Mustangs opened a 48-28 lead in the third quarter and, in spite of a game-high 24 points from Trojans’ forward Devin Blake, Downers Grove North could not complete its comeback bid.

Should the Trojans advance to the regional finals, they could face regional host York in the Feb. 21 title game with a berth in the sectional semifinals on the line. North would not have to face the top seed in the Addison Trail sectional, Wheaton Warrenville South, until the sectional championship on Feb. 27.

With 2A postseason play beginning this week, Westmont must quickly prepare for Wednesday’s matchup against Cristo Rey Jesuit. If the No. 3 seed Sentinels upset No. 2 regional host Cristo Rey Jesuit, they could meet top-seeded Tilden in the regional finals on Friday. A potential meeting with rival Lisle would not come until the sectional semifinals.

The backcourt combo of Mara Casper and AnneMarie Carlson have shown that they can carry the Westmont offense when necessary. In the team’s recent victory over Lisle, the duo accounted for 35 of the team’s 39 points.

Confident Bonomo wrestles to regional title Downers Grove North crowns three champs, South sends eight to sectional

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Nick Bonomo remembers losing in a regional final last year, and that loss helped motivate him to finish the job Saturday.

Bonomo won the 170-pound division at the Lyons Township regional to advance to sectionals in a big way. He pinned

Morton’s Adrian Cardenas, the first time Cardenas had been pinned all season, in the final.

“I’m just wrestling with a lot of confidence out there, going out there trying to pin my opponent and keep the energy high,” Bonomo said. “It’s awesome to finally win one. Losing in the finals last year in the last couple seconds was pretty

heartbreaking. It was the motivation to get it this year.”

The senior will bring a 39-2 record to the Hinsdale Central sectional. He has a lofty goal for himself the rest of this postseason.

“Win the state tournament,” Bonomo said. “I think that’s the goal you have to go in with. That’s the mindset you have to go in with.

“I only got one shot at it, so I hope to get to the state finals.”

In addition to Bonomo, Pat Walker (106 pounds) and Mike Gastaldello (160) also won re-

gional titles for the Trojans.

The Trojans were third in the team standings behind host Lyons Township and the Mustangs. Diego Rodriguez (132), Milad Abd (152) and Edwin Phillips (285) also got through to the sectional by winning third-place matches.

Joe Nugent was South’s only regional champion, winning three matches at 132 pounds. The junior is 27-3.

The Mustangs were 1-4 in championship matches. Tyree Johnson (138), Shawn Jager (160), Ryan Gurski (182) and Michael Hobbs (285) lost in finals.

In the examples below, circle the end words that rhyme in each poem.

Sugar is sweet And so are you!

DRAWING WITH MARK! Happy VaLentine’s Day! Decorate this card with your choice of colors, and maybe sparkles, too. Then cut along the dashed line and give to someone to wish them a Happy Valentine’s Day!

Perhaps you’ve heard this classic Valentine’s Day poem, and maybe you’ve even read it to someone you love. This Valentine’s Day, work on making your own version of the poem. It can be funny, silly or sincere. Just have fun with it.

Start out with “Roses are red” as the irst line. This sets up the poem for your readers so they know to expect your own version of this classic form.

Write four lines. Four lines is the common form this poem uses, so stick to that.

Keep it short and silly! Part of the charm of this form is that it is short, sweet and to the point. Each line should have between four to six syllables — use seven only if you have to. be creative. The classic form uses a color on the second line, but you don’t have to. Instead of a color, you can use another descriptive word on that line — sight, sound, taste and feeling all work in place of a color.

Rhyme it. Rhyming this poem keeps it feeling light, fresh and musical. Traditionally, you should use words that sound the same at the end of the second and fourth line of the poem (“blue” rhymes with “you” in the original). You can also rhyme lines three and four.

Food trends Celebrity chef Elizabeth Falkner, a multiple award-winning chef, and restaurateur and Bravo and Food Network personality who currently serves as executive chef of Corvo Bianco in New York City, points to these top food trends to watch in 2014: Bolder fusions: Earlier iterations of the fusion trend focused on combining ethnic styles of cuisine. In 2014, the trend will focus on unique flavor combinations that transcend ethnic themes. a fresh take on tea: Falkner also predicts the culinary world will continue to explore creative ways to use tea as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. Not just for sipping anymore, tea is a natural ingredient that’s finding its way into rubs, broths and marinades.

Upscale comfort food: Grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, tomato soup, franks and beans — foods we grow up with have taken root in the American psyche as comfort foods that warm our souls as much as they fill our bellies. This year, comfort food will continue to go upscale as chefs take basics like mac and cheese and update them by adding high-end ingredients like sauteed salami, peppers, onions and sun-dried tomatoes.

One of Falkner’s favorite takes on the trend is Grilled Cheese Caprese made with several different cheeses, such as fior di latte and fontina, basil and pickled tomato jam. super seaweed: A nutritional powerhouse, seaweed will make its way into more recipes this year, Falkner predicts. Look for varieties like dulse, kelp, combu, hijiki and nori to appear as ingredients in dishes from desserts to main courses. Falkner uses hijiki seaweed to create an Asian-style coleslaw that’s super-healthy, easy to make and a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes.

Beyond beef: Chefs are stepping up to meet Americans’ taste for alternative proteins by incorporating a variety of options into their menus. In 2014, you’ll find goat, rabbit, quail, sweetbreads and pigeon on restaurant menus.

A potato

Redux

wIkImEDIA

Individuality ;quals gr;at;r cooking and flavor vari;ty

By Linda Bassett more Content Now

Our mothers and grandmothers thought of all potatoes as interchangeable. They’d bake or boil whatever they found in the grocery store for dinner. That grocery store didn’t offer many choices, just the same mealy Russets, waxy red-skinned tubers and gnarly spuds from Maine, earth still clinging to them, week after week.

Fast forward a couple of generations, and we have learned to get better flavor and texture if we treat potatoes as individuals. We don’t need to settle for only three or four variations.

The produce section of the supermarket heaps up a revolving rainbow of potatoes every week, including yellow Yukon golds, white creamers, Peruvian purples and sandy brown Russets.

And sizes from new potatoes as small as pearl onions to Russets as nearly large as footballs. (OK, I exaggerated.)

Writers have dreamed up entire cookbooks featuring nothing but potatoes. We still like to pair them with sour cream and bacon, but we can apply those ingredients to Yukon golds turned into potato soup instead of plain-old baked Russets.

We still mash them, but know we can avoid peeling if we use pretty red-skinned potatoes.

And we can skip the butter and cream in those mashed potatoes, getting them to equal deliciousness using golden olive oil and a few cloves of garlic instead.

Today’s cooks feel confident enough to experiment with grandma’s scalloped potato recipe, adding two extra cheeses to her basic white cheddar while sticking with her Idahoes, now better than ever thanks to improved agricultural techniques.

I’ve used blue and Parmesan

cheeses with the cheddar here, but I’m not afraid to shake up my own recipe with a little gouda or smoked Havarti or asiago. Three hot potato recipes follow:

Olive Oil and Garlic Mashed Potatoes makes 6 to 8 servings n 3 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes, skin on n 3 large cloves garlic, inner skin on n 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus additional if needed n salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Bring the potatoes and garlic to a boil in a pot with enough water to cover. reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Drain. return potatoes only to the pot, cooking for just a minute or two to evaporate extra moisture.

Transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl. squeeze the garlic from the skins; add to the potatoes. Beat with an electric mixture until fluffy.

(Do not use a food processor.)

Then beat in the olive oil. season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Roasted Potato Soup with Sour Cream and Bacon makes 4 to 8 servings n 4 thin-skinned medium potatoes, e.g., Yukon gold, skin-on, sliced 1/4-inch thick n 2 t olive oil n salt, ground black pepper n 6 thyme sprigs n 6 slices bacon, coarsely chopped n 1/2 cup sour cream n 2 t minced chives Heat oven to 375 F. Toss the potatoes in oil and a half teaspoon salt. spread them on a rimmed baking sheet; bake uncovered until tender, 35 minutes. Transfer to a pot.

Pour 1 cup boiling water into the baking sheet; swirl to deglaze, then pour the water into the pot with potatoes. Add 5 cups boiling water and thyme sprigs; cover tightly and set aside for 1 hour. meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp. set aside to drain on paper towels. remove and discard thyme from the pot. Puree the potato mixture until smooth, adding more water if too thick. Add salt and pepper. reheat the soup over low heat.

Pour the hot soup into bowls.

Dollop with sour cream; sprinkle with bacon and chives.

Scalloped Potatoes with Three Cheeses makes 12 servings. A cook actually can hold potatoes for about 30 minutes before bringing them to the table: Let them stand at room temperature. Cover and re-warm in 375 F oven, 20 minutes. n 3/4 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar n 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese n 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan n 4 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds n salt, pepper, to taste n 1/4 cup finely chopped onion n 3 t all-purpose flour n 1/2 stick butter n 3 cups whole milk Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly butter a baking dish. mix cheeses in a bowl.

Arrange half of potatoes in baking dish, overlapping slightly. sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. sprinkle onion over, then four. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. sprinkle half the cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, salt, pepper, butter and cheese.

Bring milk to a simmer. Pour milk over potatoes (it will not cover completely). Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids may look curdled). sprinkle potatoes with cheese mixture. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deeply golden, about 45 minutes. Let stand about 15 minutes before serving.
