Downers Grove woman earns national teaching certification

By David Heitz dheitz@shawmedia.com

After three years of working hard to become a National Board-certified teacher, Laura Riley is now trying to catch her breath.

This fall, the Downers Grove resident earned her National Board Certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, joining only two other teachers at Community Unit School District 201 in Westmont who have accomplished the goal. It puts the sixth-grade science teacher at Westmont Junior High School among the ranks of the nation’s most accomplished teachers.

And after 25 years in education, Riley said she considers the certification one her greatest professional milestones.

“I’m very pleased with the outcome,” she

said. “This was a personal goal of mine, and to accomplish this is really nice. At times it was tough, but I’m happy with the results.”

Riley plans to take what she learned from the process and incorporate it into her classroom at Westmont Junior High.

National Board Certification is an advanced teaching credential. It complements, but does not replace, a state’s teacher license. It is valid for 10 years, according to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards website.

Riley started the process in 2009. As part of the certification process, candidates complete 10 assessments that are reviewed by trained teachers in their certificate areas. The assessments include four portfolio entries that feature teaching practices and six constructed response exercises that assess content knowledge.

as a teacher working to meet the certification requirements, Riley has also served as president of the Westmont Teachers’ Association. Since February, she worked to negotiate with the District 201 Board of Education to finalize a new three-year contract for District 201 teachers, which was just approved two weeks ago.

While she couldn’t pinpoint specific ways in which the certification will assist

in her classroom each day, Riley said the experience will benefit her teaching in many ways, and ultimately, she will pass that on to her students through her teaching.

“The whole process in general taught me how to be a better teacher, create better lesson plans, and to work with other teachers to help in the educational process,” Riley said.

The certification process also taught her how to address new federal guidelines for teaching, which she said have been the biggest change in education over the last 10 years.

“The main focus has always been on student achievement and how to improve learning each day,” Riley said. “This process will help me to continue to grow professionally, which will benefit my students.”

“Honestly, just peace and health for my family and friends.”

Teachers, students find new tool in launching iPads

By Brian Hudson bhudson@shawmedia.com

Fourth-grade teacher Julie Iaquinto mounted her Apple iPad at the front of the class and turned on the “record” button.

Students would recite their poem again and again before the camera while voting for the best performance. The repetition — which otherwise might be tedious without the glittering lure of technology — actually helps children with English fluency, Iaquinto said.

In his second-grade class, Mark White puts his iPad to use with vocabulary words.

Working in small groups, students could write or even draw on the iPad tablet to define words like “medicine.”

“They had multiple ways of sharing what they know,” he said. “They learn to work as a team, to share a resource.”

Meanwhile, sixth-grade teacher Lindsay Shea used hers to “flip” her classroom. While students watch a pre-recorded lecture broad in scope, she can move around the room and tailor the material for students in groups or even one-on-one.

This year, theirs and every classroom in

Downers Grove District 58 has been equipped with an Apple iPad as well Apple TV — a digital receiver that projects the iPad onto a screen — but for most teachers, that’s where the similarities end.

That’s because like Iaquinto, White, Shea and the other teachers at El Sierra School, District 58 teachers have been encouraged to take the technology and run with it.

The introduction of the devices and the open-ended approach are a combined solution to a seemingly paradoxical dilemma: how to implement a single approach to technology uniformly across the district’s classrooms, yet still offer enough flexibility that teachers from first grade through middle school can adapt it to their individual students’ needs.

The move to update the district’s technology standards dates back a year-and-a-half, when Scott Meech took over as director of technology.

He was tasked with creating a standardized approach where there had not been one before. At the time, some classrooms featured Smartboards — essentially interactive See iPADS, Page 24

NEWS IT’S HISTORY

A WINDOW INTO DOWNERS GROVE’S PAST

SOLID AS OAK

The P.A. Lord Lumber Company was founded in Downers Grove in the spring of 1890 and enjoyed a steady growth that paralleled the that of Downers Grove.

Located on Forest Avenue, the company bought their lumber directly from the local mills and had their own door and sash factory in nearby La Grange.

According to an article in the Nov. 28, 1895 issue of the Downers Grove Reporter, the company “makes a specialty of hardwood veneered doors, cabinets and stair work and are ready at all times to furnish estimates on anything made of wood.”

Prior to 1895 the company also began supplying coal and the company became known as the Lord Lumber and Coal Company.

$800K winning lottery ticket sold to Woodridge resident

By David Heitz dheitz@shawmedia.com

Anyone who bought a lottery ticket at a local Woodridge convenient store earlier this month should check their ticket, as he or she may be $800,000 richer.

The jackpot may have been won by a Woodridge resident, according to an employee of the store where the ticket was sold.

The Illinois Lottery confirmed last week that a winning Lucky Day Lotto ticket for the Dec. 3 drawing was sold at Grocer’s Pantry, 7058 Woodward Ave., with all five matching

numbers: 2, 13, 17, 22 and 27.

Lottery spokeswoman Micaela Small said on Friday that no one has come forward yet to claim the $800,000 winning ticket prize.

Winning tickets must be claimed within one year of the drawing. The winning ticket was not a quick pick, meaning the winner actually picked the winning numbers, Small said.

An employee at the Grocer’s Pantry on Friday said he believes he knows who the winner is, and that the person is a Woodridge resident, although he declined to name the person he thinks won.

One lottery player interviewed outside the

store on Friday admitted he wasn’t the big winner, but that he was still excited with the news.

“No, it wasn’t me who won,” said Mike White, a Woodridge resident who plays the lottery once a week. “And the chances of that happening here again are probably very small. But it is good someone won a big prize here.”

Grocer’s Pantry will receive 1 percent of the jackpot — $8,000 — for selling the ticket.

Lucky Day Lotto numbers are drawn each night at 9:22 p.m., and jackpots start

A group of Cub Scouts from Downers Grove and Woodridge visited their local newspaper’s office on Monday to learn about the reporters, photographers and editors who work there.

The five scouts from Pack 511 met with the staff of the Downers Grove Reporter and learned how a newspaper is put together.

They met with a reporter, who told the scouts it is important to ask good questions and to listen. Then they met with a photographer, who showed them how to pick the

best picture for the newspaper. After that, the scouts met with a designer, who puts the newspaper together.

There were even some potential journalists in the troop. “My teacher says I have the best handwriting in my class,� said Liam Moehlenkamp, 6, from Woodridge.

The scouts take many trips to learn about the people in their community.

Recently, they went to their local library, and they went to Medieval Times to see the knights joust. “It was awesome!� said Ethan Erpenbach, 6, from Woodridge.

Library staff recommends some books for gift-giving

Expenses will outpace revenues in new contract

The Westmont Teachers Association and then the school board recently voted to ratify a three-year contract for teachers in Community Unit School District 201. I was the lone dissenting vote on the board on that matter. I wanted to take the opportunity to share my reasons for that vote.

The contract that was approved provided for “raises on base” that were tied to inflation, or the consumer price index.

“Base” is the salary provided to a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree.

Beyond that, teachers with additional education and experience are paid additional salary increases known as “steps” (or years of experience) and “lane” (for additional educational credits earned). So, as the “base” grows, so do all the other salary amounts in the salary schedule for every teacher.

In the first year, the contract provides for a salary increase of 100 percent of CPI (or 1.5 percent) on “base” and 70 percent of CPI for each of the next two years, with guaranteed “floor” increases in base pay of 1 percent for the first two years and 1.5 percent for the third. The result is that 201’s teachers will continue to be the best paid unit district teachers in the State.

They are also among the longest tenured, best educated and, in my view, the most dedicated in See LETTERS, Page 16

Librarians love to advise people about books.

Especially during December, we enjoy making recommendations about great books for holiday gift-giving. Here are a few suggestions from the staff of the Downers Grove Public Library: “Into the Fire: A Firsthand Account of the Most Extraordinary Battle in the Afghan War” by Dakota Meyer. The first living Marine in more than 30 years to be awarded the Medal of Honor, Meyer tells the story of what Rick has become a legendary Ashton event, the battle of Ganjigal, and his own role in it.

“America Again: Re-becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t” by Stephen Colbert. The TV jokester riffs on all his usual subjects for parody, including Wall Street, energy policy, health care and elections.

“The Casual Vacancy” by J.K. Rowling. In her first novel for adults, Harry Potter creator Rowling builds a gripping comic drama around a mysterious local election in the small English town of Pagford. No one rides a broom.

“Divergent” by Veronica Roth. This teenthemed novel will appeal to “Hunger Games” fans, building a complete imaginary world (set in Chicago) complete with factional battles, initiation rites and a brave, resourceful teen heroine named Beatrice.

“The Third Wheel (Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Book 7)” by Jeff Kinney. Appealing to somewhat younger readers, this series piece builds suspense and adventure in a really scary setting, the Valentine’s Day dance at the middle school.

“Star Wars Origami” by Chris Alexander.

Master folder Alexander appeals to kids of all ages with 36 paper-folding models and the unique Star Wars-themed paper needed to complete them. The folding projects are designed with different degrees of difficulty, so that novices, experts and those in between can all enjoy the challenges.

“Safari: A Photicular Book” by Dan Kainen and Carol Kaufman introduces a new technology to the reader/viewer. Built around eight wild animals, the book is a cross between a traditional printed book and a National Geographic TV special. The animals almost literally come alive before the eyes of the adventurers.

Council could peck at village coop ordinance Leann Lolli feeds a couple of the family’s six chickens at their Downers Grove home Tuesday morning. Staff photo by John Cox

By Brian Hudson bhudson@shawmedia.com

Dawn Susin-Konters’ five chickens do more than just provide free-range eggs year round.

With names and distinct personalities, they are more like pets than mere animals, Susin-Konters said. And nesting in a small fenced-in coop her backyard — next to her edible garden and not far from where the rain barrels sit out in the warmer months — the hens are part of her family’s effort to live a more sustainable, less impactful life.

There’s just one problem. She’s technically not allowed to have them.

Although Downers Grove is one of only a handful of communities in the Chicago region that permits residents to raise chickens, the village ordinance is too narrow for many households to comply — quite literally, in Susin-Konters’ case.

The issue came to the forefront last month, when another Downers Grove family received a letter from the village informing them that their backyard chicken coop was in violation.

The letter told Leann Lolli that her family’s backyard coop was within the 50-foot setback limit, and the village gave them until Nov. 30 to remove it.

Lolli appealed to the members of the

NEWS BRIEFS Parking rates up for decision at Tuesday council meeting

Downers Grove officials this week considered two plans to raise commuter parking rates in 2013 — each proposal splitting the burden differently for residents and nonresidents who park at the Metra station lots.

The issue was up for a vote at Tuesday night’s Village Council meeting, which occurred after the Downers Grove Reporter’s press time. For updated coverage, visit www.mysuburbanlife.com/ downersgrove.

The council was scheduled to weigh two parking plans. An initial proposal would have raised the parking fee at the Belmont and Main Street station lots from $80 to $100 per quarter for residents, while the nonresident fee would go from $110 to $120.

The Village Council reviewed that plan last week, but some members balked at a plan that seemed to weigh more heavily on village residents.

Commissioner Bob Barnett pitched an alternative proposal that would bring the resident rate only up to $90 at those lots, while nonresidents would pay $140.

The initial proposal would raise $65,000 annually, and because it has been approved

by Metra and BNSF Railway, it would go into effect after March.

NEWS The alternative proposal is projected to raise $81,500, but it still has to win approval from Metra and BNSF. It could not go into effect until the third quarter of 2013, according to village officials.

Both plans would affect rates at the village’s other Metra lots as well.

Under the initial plan, parking at the Lot S parking garage would go from $90 to $100 for residents and would stay at $120 for nonresidents. Parking at the Fairview train station would go from $75 to $80 for residents and from $105 to $110 for nonresidents.

Under Barnett’s alternative proposal, parking rates would go to $90 and $140 for residents and nonresidents, respectively, at those lots and across the board.

The proposed increase in parking rates came after last year’s downtown parking study, which reported the village was charging less than some nearby stations, including the $105 charged in Lisle and at least $110 charged in Naperville. Still, other communities offer cheaper commuter spots, such as Westmont’s $75 per quarter for residents and nonresidents alike.

The village also was due to consider an overnight parking program in Lot L, next to the police station at the Main Street station.

POLICE BLOTTER DOWNERS GROVE Attempted Santa theft observed

An unidentified man tried to steal a 4foot plastic Santa from the front yard of a house in the 150 block of Lincoln Place last month, police say. According to reports, a man was standing outside his house about 8:20 p.m. Nov. 30 when he saw a dark green two-door Ford Sport SUV pull up to his neighbor’s house.

The back hatch opened and a man exited the car. He then walked into the yard, pulled the Santa statue out of the ground and began to run back to the SUV, according to reports.

The witness told police he yelled at the man and ran after him. The man attempted to stow the Santa in the back of the SUV, but he dropped it on the street and jumped into the vehicle and sped off.

He was described as about as a white man, about 19 years old with brown hair, 5foot-10 and about 160 pounds with average build, according to reports.

The report indicated no further action in the incident.

Police: Suspicious man approached 13-year-old in Downers Grove Downers Grove police are looking for a man who reportedly approached a 13-yearold girl heading home from school the evening of Dec. 4 and invited her into his car.

According to police, the girl had just gotten off a school bus about 6:38 p.m. and was waiting to cross near Belmont Road and 61st Street.

As a late model Chevrolet Impala passed her driving north on Belmont, the lone male driver waved. He then made two U-turns to make another approach and stopped at the curb next to her, according to reports. The man rolled down the passenger side window and offered the girl a ride. When she said no, the man asked her to get into the car, police said.

"The girl walked away from the vehicle

and pulled out her cell phone to call her mother," according to police, "at which point the vehicle left northbound from the location."

The driver was described as having a dark complexion, and was possibly of Middle Eastern descent. He is believed to be between 44 and 55 years old with short black hair, some gray hair and stubble on his upper lip. He was wearing silver rimmed glasses and a light tan jacket at the time of the incident.

His vehicle was described as a newer model tan or gold Impala in good condition with a partial Illinois plate number "45."

Police have increased patrols in the area and at all schools, according to a release from Downers Grove police. Police also asked any information on the incident or any suspicious incidents be reported to the department at 630-434-5600 or by calling 911.

LETTERS Continued from Page 10 the state.

But while tying our raises and salary structure to CPI is a step in the right direction, providing for raises on “base” at those levels is economically unsustainable. This is because combined with step and lane increases, the contract results in total raises to most teachers over the three-year term of the contract of at least 12 percent. Over that same period, 201’s revenue stream (which also grows approximately by CPI) will grow by about 6.5 to 7 percent.

NEWS

“

As someone who has spent his entire 28-year professional career in the finance industry, I am at a loss to understand how spending more money than you take in fits anyone’s definition of ‘fiscally responsible.’”

The result of that outcome is simple: District 201 will be paying raises that it can not cover with its existing revenue growth.

Worse, by attaching the CPI increases to “base,” that reality has just become structural and ongoing into the future. The

result will mean that, like Chicago’s public schools, budget cuts will become a reality in District 201 again.

As someone who has spent his entire 28-year professional career in the finance industry, I am at a loss to understand how

spending more money than you take in fits anyone’s definition of “fiscally responsible.” And I am genuinely concerned about the impact this contract will have on the programs and activities we can offer our kids.

In the end, there is no such thing as a free lunch. And raises that structurally outpace revenue growth will have to be addressed either with additional revenue, which in our case is primarily taxes, or budget cuts or class size increases. I hope the District 201 board finds the courage to face those issues sooner rather than later.

Celebrations Anniversary

Browns to Celebrate 70th Wedding Anniversary Mr. Floyd Leslie “Les” Brown and Miss Evelyn Richards were introduced by a mutual friend in 1938 at the “Five and Dime” store in Charleston, IL. Mrs. Brown called her Mother that very night to tell her, “I’ve met the man I am going to marry!” Four years later, on December 15, 1942, while Mr. Brown was home on leave from the Air Force, the couple was united in marriage by Mr. Brown’s father, the Rev. Fred M. Brown, at the family home in Charleston. Mr. Charlie Brown served his brother as best man. Maid of honor was Miss Beth Richards.

After military service, Mr. Brown earned the credential of professional engineer. The couple relocated to Downers Grove, Illinois. Mr. Brown was the Director of Engineering for Mechanical Contractors Association (MCA) of Chicago for 27 years. During his tenure with MCA, he was active in the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). He was a lecturer for their professional development seminars throughout the United States and Canada, and received ASHRAE’s Distinguished Service Award in 1976. In 1985, the 55,000 member organization made him a Fellow – a distinction that had been granted to only 435 of its members.

Mrs. Brown was Chief of Payroll at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for many years, and was active in the auxiliary of Good Samaritan Hospital in Naperville, IL. She then served as the office manager for a private physician group for several years.

After their retirement in 1988, the Browns moved to Urbana, IL, where they were active in their church and the auxiliary of Carle Foundation Hospital, as well as the Willow Springs Condominium Association. They currently reside at Heritage Woods in Charleston, IL. Although they were not personally blessed with children, they enriched the lives of many nieces and nephews, as well as neighborhood children. One niece recalls, “I spent at least half of every summer in Downers Grove with Les and “Ovie”. Their home was a like a magnet – not only for the entire group of neighborhood kids, but their parents, as well. Many of these families stay in touch with them to this day.”

Family and friends are invited to join the Browns for a reception on Sunday, December 16 at 2:00 PM at Heritage Woods, 480 West Polk, Charleston, IL 61920. The couple hopes to receive many cards that include a favorite memory.

n Cassandra Blake, 41, 4839 Bryan Place, Downers Grove, was charged with driving with a suspended drivers license about 12:33 p.m. Dec. 5 in the 4600 block of Main Street, police say. n Miguel Huerta, 49, 1027 Rolling Drive, Lisle, was charged with driving with a suspended license about 1 a.m. Dec. 3 near 39th and Washington streets.

Village Council. The chickens originated from a home science project for her six children, she said, and they had come to view them as pets. The chickens even had ornaments on the family Christmas tree, Lolli said in a phone interview last week.

She found support in Commissioner Becky Rheintgen, who last year broached the issue of the chicken ordinance with the rest of the council. “(Lolli) sent an email to all of us, asking all of us to considering revising our ordinance,” Rheintgen said. “When I received that, I thought, ‘Well, this might be another opportunity to see if there’s support to revise the ordinance.’”

At the tail end of last week’s Village Council meeting, commissioners were scheduled to decide whether they wanted to review the chicken ordinance at a later date. But the cursory “discussion to have discussion” ended up revealing some uneasiness about the village’s chicken permit.

Commissioners said they were concerned about overloading the village staff to research a minor issue, but Marilyn Schnell also said she had reservations about the problems coops might bring.

“What is one man’s pleasure and opportunity is another man’s nightmare,” she said.

“Whatever we do needs to be balanced so all people are considered and respected.”

Ultimately, a majority of the council decided to review the ordinance, and it’s due for another discussion possibly this Tuesday.

Those in favor of a review pointed out that the village already allows for chickens, but only on the small portion of lots large enough to hold them. Commissioners would just be updating the existing language — while still ensuring the chickens do not become a nuisance, Rheintgen said.

For instance, she noted, the ordinance as it stands does not require chicken owners to seek a permit; it is enforced as violations are reported. The ordinance could be revised so that officials inspect coops when they are built, she suggested.

“There’s a way to tweak it that can be respectful of neighbors but also can encourage good chicken-raisers,” Rheintgen said.

As the village considers the ordinance, the order to remove the Lolli’s coop has been put on hold. Susin-Konters, too, is waiting to hear the village’s decision to learn of the outcome of her family’s hens. Both she and Lolli appealed to the council in person last week to update the ordinance.

Lolli said she understands that some people might hold a dim view of coops. But, she said, people should not assume that chicken owners will be necessarily problematic.

“These birds feed me. Nobody wants their food source laid in a contaminated sty,” she said. “With any type of pet, they could land in the hands of someone who isn’t responsible. But all the other laws for other animals are written in a way that assume the owner will be responsible.”

NEWS NEWS BRIEFS Village warns about further electric aggregation scams A release from the village warns Downers Grove residents against potential telephone scams taking advantage of this year's electric aggregation measure.

The aggregation program, initiated with voters' approval in a spring referendum, gives the village the authority to take bids for a new energy provider. But that process is nearly completed; the village has accepted a bid from First Energy Solutions. ComEd will continue to deliver the energy provided by First Energy.

"Please note that there are other companies phoning or soliciting energy customers, falsely representing that they are the Village's energy provider," the village release stated.

"Residents are advised not to provide any ComEd account numbers or other personal information to these companies before fully considering the safety of their personal information."

Fire station wreaths tracking holiday fires Downers Grove emergency officials are emphasizing fire safety during the holidays with wreaths at each of the village’s fire stations.

The wreaths were installed last weekend with red bulbs. After each holiday-related

fire through Jan. 1, one of the red lights will be changed to white.

Village officials have also posted holiday fire safety tips on the village website, www. downers.us. The list advises residents to ensure there is a working smoke alarm, use power strips in place of extension cords and keep Christmas trees watered daily and away from any heat source.

Downers Grove offices collecting coats for charity Gently used coats and accessories can be donated through January at Downers Grove Village Hall.

The items will be delivered to Downers Grove nonprofit Sharing Connections Furniture Bank, which provides household items to families and individuals in need.

Drop boxes will be available in the lobby of village hall, 801 Burlington Ave., and at the Downers Grove police station, 825 Burlington Ave., through Jan. 14.

Holiday light recycling offered Village officials will collect and recycle Christmas lights now through January at Downers Grove Public Works, 5101 Walnut Ave. The items — including mini-lights, C7 lights, C9 lights, rope lights, LED lights and extension cords — can be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays until Feb. 1.

IPADS Continued from Page 5 electronic blackboards — while others had access to laptops or computers. Picture and video cameras were distributed just as unevenly.

The challenge was introducing a district-wide approach to technology that wouldn’t tie teachers down to a certain teaching method.

“We were looking at ways we could bring together all the classrooms and level the experience,” Meech said. “We want to help teachers become cordless and wireless with their devices, so they can decide where and when the learning takes place in the classroom.”

The district tested the iPads last school year at Belle Aire Elementary School with a pilot program supported by the school’s PTA. It was expanded to every classroom this year.

“Now in essence what we’ve done is we’ve given every teacher a still camera, a video camera, a document camera, a somewhat-like-a-Smartboard and a personal mobile learning device,” Meech said.

The program cost about $600 per classroom. By comparison, the Smartboard runs

about $1,200 per classroom.

“The cost savings for our district has been dramatic,” Meech added.

Including additional Apple TvV units and iPads for other faculty members, the entire initative cost roughly $210,000, which came out of the district’s existing technology budget, said District 58 spokeswoman Jennifer Waldorf.

In rolling them out this year, the district also set up a support infrastructure to help teachers apply them.

Early last month, the district devoted an instructional day to the method, SAMRi — which teachers call “samurai.” It stands for “substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition:” the four criteria for evaluating how the new technology affects their teaching.

The changes have given teachers leeway to experiment with the devices. When a teacher comes upon a method that works, they can share on a private social network within the district that was set up this year.

It’s how White, the second-grade teacher at El Sierra, found a way to collaborate with a sixth-grade class when both their curricula overlapped.

“I never would have done that here prior to having this device in my hands,” he said.

With Christmas just around the corner again, local animallovers are likely looking for ways to spoil their furry family members.

With Christmas approaching, get holiday gift ideas for your pets

L

ast year, roughly 51 of pet owners polled nationwide said they planned to buy holiday gifts for their pets. The most popular picks, according to the survey conducted by The Associated Press and petside.com, were toys, food, bedding and clothing.

With Christmas just around the corner again, local animal-lovers are likely looking for ways to spoil their furry family members. For those in need of ideas, we spoke to locally owned pet stores and boutiques across the western suburbs to get some picks for toys, accessories and fun snacks to place under the tree or stuff in a stocking on Dec. 25.

Decorated gift plate WHERE: Happy Dog Barkery, 5118 Main St., Downers Grove COST: $3 to $10 Most people love getting a pretty plate of colorful Christmas cookies, so who says dogs won’t enjoy the same gift? The Happy Dog Barkery bakes decorated cookies — holiday-themed, of course — for furry friends at reasonable prices. “Nobody wants to spend $25 on a plate of cookies, so we try to keep it affordable,” said owner Beth Staley.

Christmas outfits WHERE: All Pet Pantry, 4910 A S. Main St., Lisle COST: $3.50 to $4.99

If you want to get your pet into the Christmas spirit this season, grab a Santa hat and maybe some reindeer antlers for Fido.

Don’t forget to snap a few family photos!

Bottle Buddies WHERE: All Pet Pantry, 4910 S. Main St., Lisle COST: $6.99 Who knows why most dogs love chewing and chasing plastic water bottles, but they may love their bottles even more when they’re covered with a bottle buddy. Bottle buddies are simple fabric creatures that slide over bottles to provide dogs with the crunchy bite of a bottle coupled with the furry animals they often love. The All Pet Pantry carries Santa and reindeer bottle buddies.

Bag O Balls WHERE: The Modern Dog Boutique, 29 S. Prospect Ave., Clarendon Hills COST: $16.50 to $19.99 This toy is exactly what it seems like — a ball filled

with little balls. Sound simple? It is, sort of. “It’s really interactive because you can stuff all the balls in the big ball and then the dog has to pull them out,” said owner Lila Musti. “Some little balls have a squeaker in them and some don’t, so the dog has to find the balls with the squeaker.”

Dog Treat Maze WHERE: The Modern Dog Boutique, 29 S. Prospect Ave., Clarendon Hills COST: $14.99 to $21.99 If you want to give your pet a gift that doubles as a present for yourself, a dog treat maze could be the perfect solution. Fill the maze with treats or dog food, and your pet will likely be preoccupied turning and rolling the disc-shaped maze until they find all the food. “I like it because it’s something that makes your dog think that actually helps to tire them out and burn energy,” owner Lila Musti said.

ON THE GO

Beat holiday boredom at winter break camps

DO IT

WHAT YOU NEED

It’s almost winter break, and that means the kids will be underfoot for an extended period of time.

Rather than let them sit around the house, why not send them to tumble with the tigers and wander through a winter wonderland?

Brookfield Zoo, as well as several park districts, will hold annual winter camps at the end of the month for kids with energy and time on their hands.

The Brookfield Zoo’s Flurries of Fun winter camp kicks off just before Christmas with fun for youth of all ages. Each day of camp focuses on animals from different parts of the world and how they adapt in the winter to their environments. Kids at the camp will be separated based on their age into smaller, more interactive groups that best fit their knowledge level.

“It’s summertime fun during the winter at the zoo,” said Jill Damato, the zoo’s manager of Nature Start programs.

Everything in the camp revolves around animals, from art projects to inquisitive science questions. Daily activities include hiking, visiting with animals and plenty of indoor activities such as games and crafts.

One of the highlights of the camp is the kids being able to interact with the animals.

“We’ll definitely make a point that the kids have a chance to connect with the animals,” Damato said.

“There will be some special activity where they’re creating an enrichment item like adding something new to their exhibit or adding a structure to put their treats into… They get to see the animal get the items and how they react to what they did.”

The zoo provides the animals and fun, but campers must bring a few things with them.

Since each day will be full of activities and walking, clothing can be crucial to having fun.

“It’s the kind of camp where we’re going to be doing a lot of moving around,” Damato said. “Be prepared to be on the move with comfy shoes and clothing.”

She also recommends bringing a hat, gloves and winter jacket, even if it’s not extremely cold outside.

Participants will spend prolonged periods of time outside, and the weather could change.

Gym shoes are also a must — the Brookfield Zoo covers 216 acres — and kids will take treks to see some of the animals.

There will be plenty of snacks and hot chocolate at camp, but kids must bring a sack lunch with them each day.

World cuisines made simple Burr Ridge cooking instructor turns up creative heat

FIND HER CLASSES WHAT Samira Shahzad teaches an array of international cooking classes in Burr Ridge CONTACT www. samirashahzad. com to reserve a spot

Burr Ridge resident Samira Shahzad designed her suburban home to include an elegant, custom-built cooking studio exclusively for group classes and gatherings for women. Staff photo by Renee Tomell

S

amira Shahzad says she has the art of cooking down to a science. The Burr Ridge resident spends part of the year in her native Pakistan, where she’s taught the cuisines of five continents — from continental to Chinese to fine dining — for 26 years, following her own studies with noted chefs. She designed her suburban home to include an elegant, custom-built cooking studio exclusively for group classes and gatherings for women. To introduce her demonstration courses, the first class is free.

What’s your teaching approach?

My aim for my students is that their amount of time in the kitchen is the least possible, while the results are ultra professional. And I believe I’ve achieved that. You can make wonderful food without any stress, and enjoy the process. It brings families together. And my recipes are foolproof. (You get the) same results every time.

Where do you start?

The most important thing I teach students is how to organize their kitchen. How to use the freshest and most natural ingredients, and how to organize them so that it doesn’t take time. Time is something that nobody has enough of. Once they’re organized, it hardly

takes any time at all to make things of gourmet quality.

One of your time-saving tips is freezing some of the key ingredients?

Take fresh ginger, peel it, and in the food processor coarsely chop it. Put small bags in the freezer. (To use it), smash it a little. (The labor) is done for the next three months. I get the freshest ingredients without the hassle of making it again and again. That’s what I do with green chilies, garlic, lemon juice, homemade chicken broth. I get the most important ingredients without any preservatives or chemicals. You have them at your fingertips.

Another tip?

All the ingredients I use, like the spices, I don’t use (finely) ground, but a little coarse. And don’t over crush the garlic or ginger or green chilies. That gives you more flavor, and keeps it from becoming overpowering.

You teach a variety of ethnic cuisines including Thai and Chinese, and share related information.

The food is a kind of fusion. I teach history, geog-

raphy, time management; what you can prepare 36 hours in advance; what you can freeze, and what you can’t.

You actually guarantee your teaching.

I’ve perfected it to a point where I give guaranteed results for anybody, anywhere in the world.

They can attend the same class again for free if they’re not able to make anything. Nobody has ever taken me up on the offer in 26 years.

You also teach a range of calorie-burning recipes, fitnessoriented menus and fruit smoothies.

There’s tons of food you can do within 200 calories. I’m a health junkie.

2012 HOLIDAY HOOPS PREVIEW BOYS

BENET

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH

TOURNAMENT Proviso West Holiday Tournament LOCATION Proviso West High School, 4701 W. Harrison St., Hillside FIRST GAME 3:45 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22 vs. Urban Prep West WHAT TO WATCH The Proviso West tournament is actually the culmination of a busy December for the Redwings. They started their holiday season play Tuesday at the Plainfield North tournament against the host Tigers, and they were scheduled to play Thornton Fractional North Wednesday, Lincoln-Way North Thursday and Lockport Friday to finish off the tourney.

Then it’s off to face St. Ignatius at 3 p.m. Saturday at Loyola Academy as part of the CCL/ESCC shootout before starting play at Proviso, which is one of the premier events in the country. It may be hectic, but in the long run it could benefit Benet.

“Playing in two tournaments allows us a chance to play quite a few games early and it also gives us a chance to find out more about our team going into the most important part of the season — second half and conference play,” Benet head coach Gene Heidkamp said.

“Playing different teams with different styles of play prepares us better for the state tournament.”

Morton or Dunbar will be the second-round foe Dec. 27 with Proviso East, Rockford Auburn, Foreman or Thornton Fractional South waiting down the line.

TOURNAMENT Addison Trail Pre-Holiday Tournament LOCATION Addison Trail High School, 213 N. Lombard Road, Addison NEXT GAME 4:30 p.m. Saturday vs. St. Laurence WHAT TO WATCH The Trojans will get their holiday tournament play out of the way early as they join host Addison Trail, Wheaton Warrenville South, St. Laurence and St. Francis De Sales for a quartet of games. The Trojans, 5-4 entering the tourney, opened against WWS on Tuesday and will face St. Laurence at 4:30 p.m. Saturday in the second game of the event. They are set to play De Sales at 5:30 p.m. next Wednesday and the host Trail Blazers at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 21 to wrap up tournament play.

North had a measure of success with a 2-2 mark at the Wheaton Academy Thanksgiving tournament and will be looking to have even more success at Addison Trail. With Nick Norton, Rimas Barsketis and David Edwards leading the way, the Trojans had won three straight games over Glenbard South, Proviso West and Willowbrook entering the tourney.

DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH TOURNAMENT Proviso West Holiday Tournament LOCATION Proviso West High School, 4701 W. Harrison St., Hillside FIRST GAME 12:15 p.m. Saturday Dec. 22 vs. Westinghouse WHAT TO WATCH The Mustangs are on the move, switch-

BENET

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH

TOURNAMENT Benet/Naperville North Holiday Tournament LOCATION Benet Academy, 2200 Maple Ave., Lisle FIRST GAME 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13 vs. Wheaton Warrenville South WHAT TO WATCH The Redwings won’t be far from the nest for the holidays at their own tournament, cohosted with Naperville North. With only three seniors (Christen Prasse, Allison Hlavin and Margaret Siegert) on the roster, Benet has raced out to an 8-4 mark with seven of the victories coming by double digits.

The Redwings will be tested right off the bat against a talented Wheaton Warrenville South team before facing Providence and Glenbard West at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, respectively.

What the Redwings lack in senior leadership they make up for in balanced contributions throughout the lineup.

Juniors Eden Olson and Marissa Panko bring some experience to the table, while sophomores Morgan Thomalla, Emily Schramek and Emily Eshoo, and freshman Kathleen Doyle have all played big minutes so far this season.

If the Redwings finish third or fourth in their pool, their tournament road would take them to Naperville North Dec. 20 and 21. Otherwise, they would remain on their home floor for the final two tourney games.

TOURNAMENT Bill Neibch Classic LOCATION Wheaton North High School, 1 Falcon Way, Wheaton FIRST GAME 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. Wheaton North WHAT TO WATCH Home games against Proviso West (7:30 p.m. this Wednesday), Lyons Township (7:30 p.m.

Friday) and Addison Trail (7:30 p.m. Tuesday) will lead the Trojans into the Neibch, where they will play four games in four days.

North (4-6 as of Dec. 10) has had its ups and downs this season and will be looking to recapture the success that led to a pair of two-game winning streaks this season. The holiday tournament will be a chance for the young Trojans (three freshman and three sophomores on the roster) to gain experience against a variety of foes. The Falcons will present a tough test early, and Elgin or Hersey will wait in the second round of the tourney. Glenbard South, Schaumburg, West Aurora or Willowbrook would be the third-round foe before the tournament wraps with the championship game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 29.

DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH TOURNAMENT Oswego East Holiday Classic LOCATION Oswego East, 1525 Harvey Road, Oswego FIRST GAME 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22 vs. Plainfield Central

ing from York’s Jack Tosh Tournament to the newly-expanded Proviso West tourney, which is one of the premier events in the state. Former Tosh cohorts St. Charles East and Maine South also are making the same switch.

South, which started the year 4-2 even though it returned just one starter (Danny Spinuzza) this winter, might take some lumps at Proviso, but playing elite competition will only serve to make the team better. Win or lose against Westinghouse, the Mustangs will take on Chicago charter school Ellison or south suburban powerhouse Homewood-Flossmoor in the second round Thursday, Dec. 27.

The tourney concludes with seventh-, fifth-, third- and first-place games Dec. 31.

WESTMONT TOURNAMENT Immaculate Conception/Westmont Christmas Tournament LOCATION Westmont High School, 909 Oakwood Drive, Westmont FIRST GAME 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. St. Edward

WHAT TO WATCH A tournament with 12 teams divided into four pools, the Mustangs will also play Aurora Central Catholic at 4 p.m.

Thursday, Dec. 27 as part of tourney action. The final two days of the tournament are Dec. 28 and 29 with the first-, second- and third-place teams from each pool meeting on Dec. 28.

The Mustangs started the season 5-2 with every victory coming by more than 10 points. They were looking to continue that trend in the three games leading up to the tournament: Dec. 11 at Hinsdale South, 7:30 p.m. Friday against visiting Morton and at home at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20 against Glenbard South. Megan Brashaw, Jessica Zuidema and Kirsten Zemke have been leading a relatively young team that has just three seniors.

South will face either Metea Valley, Lemont or Plainfield North on the next-to-last day of the tourney.

WESTMONT TOURNAMENT Lisle Holiday Cage Classic

SPORTS

WMP/DGR Wednesday, December 12, 2012 Reporter/Progress

PREP ROUNDUP Boys basketball WHAT TO WATCH There may be no place like home for the holidays, and Westmont is hoping that home cooking translates into a successful tournament run.

After facing St. Edward, the Sentinels will then take on Elmwood Park at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 27 and Morgan Park Academy at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 28. Wins in all three games would put Westmont into the championship game at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 29. The four teams competing at Immaculate Conception include the co-host Knights, Latin, Northside Prep and Evergreen Park.

Westmont would of course love to compete for the tourney title, but to head coach Craig Etheridge it is more important to set a positive tone for the second half of the season.

“Especially in years when we’ve been rebuilding, we always look at the Christmas tournament as a turning point in the season,” Etheridge said.

“That’s where we want to see what we’re capable of. By the time of your 10th or 11th game, you need to be ready for games and you should have a pretty good idea of what you’re going to be.”

LOCATION Lisle High School, 1800 Short St., Lisle FIRST GAME 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. Wheaton Academy WHAT TO WATCH After falling twice in the final two games of the Immaculate Conception Thanksgiving tournament, the Sentinels found success with four straight Interstate Eight Conference wins over Wilmington, Reed-Custer, Sandwich and Manteno. Another I-8 game, next Monday against Herscher, and a matchup against fellow Cage Classic team Timothy Christian on Friday, Dec. 21 will lead Westmont into tourney action.

Susie Sternard has led a balanced offensive attack, one that makes the Sentinels hard to contend with.

If Westmont can top a struggling Wheaton Academy team, it could meet rival Lisle in the second round.

The last time those two teams met, the Sentinels earned a one-point win the regional championship game.

Latin, St. Edward, Antioch and Chicago Christian are in the same half of the bracket as Lisle and would be possible third-round opponents.

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH It was a productive weekend for the Trojans, who picked up a pair of road wins against Proviso West and Willowbrook.

North topped the Pirates 54-44 Friday night, and followed that up with a comfortable 56-36 win over the Warriors on Saturday.

DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH A week off from action did nothing to dampen the Mustangs’ momentum. A week after defeating Addison Trail, they topped visiting Hinsdale South 63-57 in a West Suburban Gold contest Friday.

WESTMONT The Sentinels led by five at halftime of Friday’s Interstate Eight Conference home game against Manteno, but that lead swelled to 15 by the end of the third quarter as they picked up a 55-35 win.

Kris Pierce scored a game-high 15 points while Jean Pietrzak and Greg Pietrzak scored 10 points apiece. Pierce, Danny Dwyer and Danny Logiurato led a strong defensive effort that made like hard on the Panthers in the second half.

With the win, Westmont improved to 4-4 overall and 2-1 in conference as they get set to host Herscher at 7 p.m. Friday.

Girls basketball DOWNERS GROVE NORTH On Saturday, the Trojans dropped a West Suburban Silver game against Hinsdale Central 66-49.

WESTMONT The Sentinels made it four wins in a row with a 51-23 victory over visiting Manteno on Thursday.

The winning streak came to an end on the road Monday at Plano. Westmont trailed by nine at the half and couldn’t overcome the deficit as it fell 42-31. With the defeat, the Sentinels’ record moved to 6-3 overall and 4-1 in the Interstate Eight Conference.

Wrestling DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH With seven wrestlers battling for titles, the Mustangs won their own invite on Saturday with 259.5 points.

Bartlett was second with 207.5 points.

Anthony DiCristofano (120 pounds) and Mike Hobbs (285) won titles while Joe Nugent (126), Haakon Fredriksen (132), Romarro Lamar (160), Rob Gagala (182) and Robert Barry (220) all made it to the championship mat and finished second.

Jake Oskvarek (106), RJ Hickok (145), Thomas Nimakoh (152) and Marquez Williams (170) won third-place matches to help South run away with the team title.

WESTMONT Scott Larem (120 pounds), Adam Ferrell (160) and David McDermott (220 pounds) won their third-place matches at the Walther Lutheran tournament to help the Sentinels finish ninth as a team with 69 points.

Larem and McDermott won by fall, with McDermott needing just 33 seconds to earn the pin.

Girls gymnastics

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH The Trojans posted a score of 127.50 to placed sixth at the Hinsdale Central invite. The host Red Devils won with a score of 141.575.

Teigan Jung had North’s best showing for the meet with her floor routine, where she was 12th with a score of 8.40. Her highest score was an 8.550 on vault, where she finished 13th. She placed 10th in the all-around with a composite score of 32.150 and an average of 8.0375 per event.

DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH Kate Moore (fifth on vault, 9.00), Inna Dzyuma (seventh on parallel bars, 8.60), Lauren Wendt (10th on beam, 8.30) and Emily Tom (10th on vault, 8.60 and 10th on floor exercise, 8.550) had top-10 finishes at the Hinsdale Central invite on Saturday.

THE GAUGE Your Weekly Mortgage News & Updates

Mortgage Rates Calm, Near Record Lows MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Freddie Mac (OTC: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing fixed mortgage rates little changed and remaining near their record lows helping to keep homebuyer affordability high and attractive to those looking to refinance.

News Facts 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.34 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending December 6, 2012, up from last week when it averaged 3.32 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.99 percent.

15-year FRM this week averaged 2.67 percent with an average 0.6 point, up from last week when it averaged 2.64 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 3.27 percent.

5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 2.69 percent this week with an average 0.6 point, down from last week when it averaged 2.72 percent. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 2.93 percent.

1-year Treasury-indexed ARM averaged 2.55 percent this week with an average 0.4 point, down from last week when it averaged 2.56. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged 2.80 percent.

Average commitment rates should be reported along with average fees and points to reflect the total upfront cost of obtaining the mortgage. Visit the following links for Regional and National Mortgage Rate Details and Definitions. Borrowers may still pay closing costs which are not included in the survey.

Quotes Attributed to Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist, Freddie Mac. “Mortgage rates were little changed and near record lows this week amid indicators of stronger economic growth and signs of tame inflation. Third quarter real GDP growth was revised from an initial report of 2.0 percent to 2.7 percent, nearly matching the market consensus forecast. Meanwhile, the 12-month growth rate of the core price index of consumer expenditures remained at 1.7 percent in October which is on the low

end of the Federal Reserve’s projection range for this year.

“The housing market is aiding in this recovery. For instance, fixed residential investment added positive growth over the past six consecutive quarters and in the third quarter alone contributed 0.3 percentage points to real GDP growth. In addition, residential construction spending was up 3 percent between September and October. And, pending home sales saw a 5.2 percent increase in October to its highest reading since March 2007.”

Get the latest information from Freddie Mac’s Office of the Chief Economist on Twitter:@FreddieMac Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation’s residential mortgage markets. Freddie Mac supports communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to lenders. Today Freddie Mac is making home possible for one in four homebuyers and is one of the largest sources of financing for multifamily housing.
