La Grange resident embarks on publishing project

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Sally Binks moved into her in-laws’ old home in the 500 block of Ashland Avenue shortly after her husband and mother-in-law

died in 2009.

The next year, she had hip replacement surgery and was confined to the house for about three months. The farthest she could go was her front porch.

There were many times she could have used a hand from a

neighbor – or simply someone to talk to – but many people on her block didn’t know she had surgery.

“When you’re stuck in a house by yourself, you’re kind of like, ‘Why isn’t anyone calling on me? Why isn’t anyone

checking on me?’” Binks said.

“It’s kind of crazy, but that’s where your mind goes when you’re isolated.”

Eventually, one of her neighbors gathered a group of women to spend a night at Binks’ home having pizza and drinks.

“And it made such a difference to actually get to know the people around me,” Binks said.

Now, Binks has good friends on her block. But she’s on a mission to help her neighbors know each other better. As part of a community project for a self-expression and leadership course she’s taking through Landmark Worldwide, Binks organized a block party last weekend.

More than an evening of music and games, Binks’ event also involved taking pictures of all the residents on her block with the intent of publishing a neighborhood directory.

“We’re having a block party, but not just to have a party,” Binks said before the event.

About 80 people attended the party, representing 18 of the 24 homes on the block and 10 homes outside the block. It was such a success that Binks said planning for next year’s party will begin soon.

For her project, Binks researched each home on the block through the La Grange Area Historical Society. She learned that since 2000, 67 percent of the homes on the block

have changed hands.

Binks then talked to someone from each of the 24 homes on the block. Her neighbors were receptive to the idea, Binks said, so much so that she was able to delegate all the tasks of throwing the party.

The one thing she organized herself was a trivia game. She asked all her neighbors for a fact about themselves that most people don’t know, and the game required participants to match those facts with pictures of their neighbors on a board.

For Binks, 59, the point of the project is to create the type of neighborhood she remembers from her childhood.

“If you need someone to do something for you or you have an emergency, you can pick up the phone and someone will be there for you,” Binks said.

“We used to be that way … You knew everyone in your neighborhood. Well, you don’t do that anymore. Because no one knows each other that well.”

Binks will spend the next few weeks putting together the neighborhood directory, with names, addresses, photos and even the block’s own version of a Yellow Book with business recommendations from neighbors.

With the book – and the relationships formed at the block party – Binks hopes her neighbors won’t hesitate to call on each other when they need help.

Angel’s Village Arts plans to open Sept. 28 and will sell clothing and other items made mainly by women from the Lake Eyasi region of Tanzania. Proceeds from the store’s sales will go toward a girls vocational school in the region.

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – The stories told at Angel’s Village Arts will pop just as much as the bright-colored dresses inside, and the pink and purple-painted exterior.

In addition to clothing, handbags and other crafts, Rachael Fitzpatrick and her team have gathered information about the Tanzanian women and girls who made them.

The stories, though, aren’t as pretty as the displays. Many involve pregnant teenage girls expelled from their tribes without any medical care or means to support themselves.

“None of them have access to doctors,” Fitzpatrick said.

The new La Grange resi-

dent is head of Angels Outreach Trust Inc., a nonprofit financing a girls’ vocational school near Lake Eyasi, Tanzania.

On Sept. 28, Fitzpatrick plans to open a store at 10 W. Harris Ave. that will feature clothing and other items, many made by women from Lake Eyasi, an area that is home to one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in the world. About 65 percent of the items on sale will be from Africa, while many of the others are from a group the organization is helping in Indonesia.

In the past 10 months, Fitzpatrick, who also is a nurse, twice has traveled to Lake

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D., Dr. of Audiology Hearing health affects a man’s lifestyle. If he wants to stay active, feel younger, and remain socially and professionally engaged, he should address any hearing loss he may be experiencing.

This is the overriding message that the Better Hearing Institute is delivering to men.

Remember that there are simple things they can do to protect their hearing. they should listen to smartphones and MP3 players only at a low volume or use new, wireless hearing aids that can connect to these devices. Also use ear protection in loud environments or when using power tools.

Studies show that men who address their hearing loss– with the use of hearing devices or other appropriate treatment and accommodations–most often improve their quality of life because it helps them maintain a more engaged, active lifestyle at both home and work. Fortunately the vast majority of people with hearing loss can beneit from hearing aids. In fact, eight out of ten hearing aid users say they’re satisied with the changes that have occurred in their lives speciically due to their hearing aids.

Many men enjoy and keep pace with the latest in consumer electronics. It’s surprising to ind that so many men are not fully aware of the technological revolution that has occurred in the hearing aid marketplace in the past few years. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness of recent advances holds back many from dealing with their hearing health.

ally, depending on their degree of hearing loss.

For decades, research has shown an association between unaddressed hearing loss and a whole range of physical, mental, and emotional conditions–from depression, anxiety, and strained relationships to cognitive decline, and dificulty learning new tasks.

A national BHI study uncovered income loss as an under-recognized consequence of leaving hearing loss unaddressed. The study found people with untreated hearing loss lose as much as $30,000 in income annu-

In recent years, considerable information has emerged on the link between hearing loss and several common chronic diseases that men suffer–including heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression. While research is still needed to fully understand the association between hearing loss and these illnesses, this relatively new information makes it all the more important that men have their hearing evaluated as part of their routine medical care.

To be informed healthcare consumers, men need to realize that today’s modern hearing aids are highly effective, sleek, and sophisticated wearable electronics that can help them stay actively connected– not only to life, but also to their other prized electronics, from smartphones to home entertainment systems.

So whether you’re a man with hearing dificulty or living with one who does, seek professional advice and have your hearing tested as the irst step in staying active and engaged in life.

meeting is economic development, and will begin with a presentation from Community Development Director Patrick Benjamin to kick things off.

Gormely-Barnes said her main task will be facilitating and guiding a conversation with 30-plus voices, something she has done during her career as an urban planner.

So meetings don’t last through the night, Gormely-Barnes said she also will look for a way to solicit ideas and feedback from task force members outside

of meetings. Members are also tasked with gauging the opinions of their neighbors and fellow residents.

The challenging part likely won’t be collecting enough ideas, but figuring out which ones to pursue and how to do it.

Gormely-Barnes said one of the group’s final meetings will be with the village’s budget director.

“Finances are tight and [the Village Board] needs to be tight,” she said. “The board is looking for some feedback on what their priorities ought to be moving

forward.”

Gormely-Barnes said any input from the group to the board, “has to be implementation oriented,” adding that, “a few really thoughtout ideas are going to be a lot more helpful to them.”

The group won’t present the board with a litany of concerns, but rather a list of action-oriented suggestions, she said.

“It may result in the recommendation that they need some professional consulting assistance about something specific,” she said. “But they want it to be targeted.”

CC • Wednesday, September 18, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life*

LA GRANGE – As a principal planner for engineering firm HNTB, La Grange resident Diane Gormely-Barnes was part of the team that put together the village’s most recent comprehensive plan, which was adopted in 2005.

It’s a main reason Gormely-Barnes was tapped by new Village President Tom Livingston to chair the La Grange 2020 task force, a group of residents selected

by Livingston who will meet for the first time tonight to tackle major issues facing the village.

The group of about 30 residents will meet monthly through May 2014, and will conclude by making a presentation to the Village Board.

“It’s been 10 years since a [comprehensive] plan was done,” Gormely-Barnes said.

“It’s time to regroup and make sure … that the things we’re focusing on are really a community priority.”

As opposed to the consulting Gormely-Barnes and HNTB conducted for the village a decade ago, the task force could be a cheaper (members are volunteers) way for the village to obtain direction for future projects and development.

Gormely-Barnes noted that for several decades, the village had a TIF district in place that is no longer in effect.

“Their primary tool for effecting something in the village has expired,” she said.

Each meeting will focus on one topic, and discussion among the task force members will be preceded by a presentation from a village staff member or other person who is an expert on the given topic.

Franson to retire after decade as LTHS principal

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – David Franson will retire at the end of the school year after 10 years as the principal at Lyons Township High School.

Franson, who turns 55 this week, started his 30-year career in education as a Spanish teacher at Proviso East High School in Maywood. He then spent 14 David years at Hins- Franson dale Central before becoming the principal at West Leyden High school in Northlake.

Five years later, Franson, who graduated from LT in 1976, returned to his old school.

“I consider myself to be a very lucky person in that I get to graduate from Lyons Township twice,” said Franson, who grew

up in La Grange.

Franson said he plans to travel and continue to learn new languages. In addition to Spanish, he speaks Italian and also wants to learn Swedish.

His first trip will be to Italy late next summer.

“I want to be genuine in being a lifelong learner,” Franson said. “I’ve talked with students quite a lot about that. So, I think it’s only fitting that I take more classes.”

LT started to look for Franson’s replacement in July.

Interviews likely will be in November and December.

Franson said the school will aim to introduce a new principal by the end of January.

Although he won’t be working full time, Franson isn’t planning on sitting at home day after day.

“I don’t think of it so much as retirement, so much as a transition to doing other things,” he said.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA WESTERN SPRINGS – District 101 schools were forced to close early Sept. 11 after the district recorded temperatures higher than 90 degrees in some second-floor classrooms.

Superintendent Brian Barnhart said the district’s four schools would close around midday but still would offer child care in air-conditioned areas to students whose families could not arrange to pick them up early.

None of the district’s classrooms have air conditioning, although some common areas do. Three straight days of excessive heat without much evening relief caused second-floor classrooms at McClure Junior

High and Laidlaw Elementary to reach 90-plus temperatures Sept. 10, prompting the district to notify parents that it would close early the next day.

A scheduled water-flushing operation Sept. 9 at Laidlaw had yellow-brown water coming out of the faucets. The district then bought more than 1,000 water bottles as a precautionary measure, about half of which were sent to Laidlaw.

The district also has modified its physical education classes this week, keeping students outside for less time. One class did yoga in a classroom, Barnhart said.

Nazareth Academy in La Grange Park also closed early Sept. 10, due to high temperatures.

Come join us for music and more When someone asks what I do and I reply, “I am a librarian,” the response is often, “I’ll bet between Google and the Internet you’re not very busy these days.”

This could not be further from the truth.

If you stop in at the Thomas Ford Memorial Library at just about any time of day, you’ll see children and their parents actively engaged with the variety of materials in the Children’s Department downstairs. Upstairs, the public computers constantly COMMUNITY are in use. You may find adult VOICE students studying quietly in the magazine room, while teenAnne Kozak agers gather (sometimes not so quietly) in the Youth Department to study together.

In fact, more than 80 percent of Western Springs residents have library cards, and they use them.

Usage is up, program attendance has increased and collaboration among local libraries provides our members with even greater access to needed items, whether those are books, DVDs, e-books or computer games.

It is true that the type of questions and requests we receive are different than in the pre-Internet days, but people’s need for professional assistance in locating information and materials remains the same. Just ask our reference librarians, who keep busy helping members with requests by phone and in person.

If you believe that public libraries are quaint institutions on the verge of extinction, I invite you to join us for another look. September is National Library Card Sign-up Month; the perfect time to use your card, renew an expired card, or apply for one if you don’t already have one.

The Thomas Ford Library Board and staff are grateful not only for the tax support that the community provides, but also for the fact that residents avidly use the library’s services and attend its programs. To express our gratitude, the library is offering two Member Appreciation Concerts as our thank you for all you do for the library, too.

This Sunday at 2 p.m., Macaroni Soup will present a participatory family music program that will have everyone singing, laughing , hopping and stomping. This program is generously underwritten by the Thomas Ford Library Foundation.

On Sept. 29 at 2:30 p.m., The Convertibles, a doo-wop/barbershop quartet, will entertain with music from the 1950s and ’60s, along with a little comedy and corny jokes.

Come join us! Adventures, new ideas and food for thought await you at your library.

A thumbs up to the La Grange Business Association (LGBA) on a successful summer of public art displays and auction Sept. 6. The LGBA raised more than $10,000 for charity through its event and also beautified La Grange’s already beautiful downtown for an entire summer. We thought the bags boards were a great idea for this year’s project. We already are looking forward to next summer’s art exhibit and we hope all the residents who bought the bags boards get a lot of enjoyment from them.

A thumbs up the Rotary Club of Western Springs following its annual Steak Fry for veterans Sept. 6. It’s great to see the way the community comes together for events like this. And why wouldn’t they? The event features great food, fun and fraternity. In addition, it’s all for a good cause: giving a free meal to area vets and first responders.

BROOKFIELD – Frisky Dog Daycare will host its Fall Adoption Fair on Sept. 29 to showcase adoptable dogs from more than eight local shelters.

The event also serves as an open house for the daycare facility, which offers boarding, grooming, training and play groups for dogs. Veterinarians, groomers and Frisky Dog staff will be on hand to answer any questions about breeds, training and adopting a dog.

This is the fifth adoption event by Frisky Dog since it opened two years ago. Together, the events have resulted in more than 100 adoptions, said Frisky Dog general manager and co-owner Ross Rolando.

“We just get more and more people every single time,” he said. “It’s pretty amazing.”

At the last adoption event,

350 to 400 people passed through the facility, Rolando said. Some of the participating shelters allow people to take home a dog right away, while others require a background check and home visit.

Whether an adoption is made at the event, it gives interested dog owners a chance to learn about the dogs and the adoption process.

“They get to meet the dogs.

They get to talk to somebody who knows about the breeds so they can make some choices,” Rolando said.

The event will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 29 at Frisky Dog, 9216 W. 47th St. Those interested in adopting a dog are encouraged to bring their whole family to meet the dogs.

FRED volunteer Mike Maloney (left) and landscape architect Scott Mehaffey (right) preview a private garden for the FRED tour in Riverside on Sept. 21.

Symposium for gardening set SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA RIVERSIDE – Gardening enthusiasts and green thumb newbies will have a chance to learn from landscape architects and designers at the FRED (Frederick Law Olmsted Riverside Education and Design) daylong garden symposium Sept. 21.

Riverside is known for its outdoor spaces, many of which were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, a 19th century American landscape designer.

“Riverside, I like to think of it as the first conservation community in America,” said FRED cochair Cathy Maloney. “Because Olmsted designed it with all native plants, with 50 percent green space and so forth. Part of what we try to do with these design seminars is [promote] sustainability and conservation.”

The event will include displays from exhibitors, vintage garden artwork, landscape designs and flowers to plant. New this year is a display titled “Beyond the Barrel” that will demonstrate imaginative ways to harvest rain water. Participants also will have eight class options to choose from, including: • Walk & Talk Landscape

Design: A sidewalk tour

by Scott Mehaffey, former landscape architect for the city of Chicago and the Morton Arboretum.

• Sneak peek of “The Living Green”: A preview of a documentary on the “dean of landscape architecture,” Jens Jensen.

• Garden Makeovers: A

class with Tony LoBello of Mariani Landscape.

• The Late Summer Garden: A class by Roy Diblik of Northwind Perennial Farm.

“I think it’s an opportunity to get exposure to a lot of different ideas and inspiration in one day,” Maloney said. “You get a chance to see garden design in real life, if you will, because it’s the only symposium that uses real-life public spaces as the laboratory.”

Registration is open on FRED’s website, www.

Fred2013.com. Pre-registration is $20 for four classes plus the keynote session – featuring TV and radio gardening personality Mike Nowak – a 25 percent savings from the full price.

FRED is sponsored by the nonprofit Frederick Law Olmsted Society, Home Depot of Countryside and Riverside Public Library.

The event will be at Riverside Village Hall and Riverside Public Library.

Too many cars I don’t think the parking charge [in Brookfield] would apply to visitors or “emergency situations,” but if you want to talk about fairness, let’s address the houses with multiple cars on the street that take up more room than their own house. I am tired of looking at other people’s junks in front of my house every day. When I have visitors, they have to park down the block because there is no room by my house. How fair is that? Street

Higher authority?

According to the U. S. Constitution, Article 14, Section 1, no state shall, “Deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” But then in Illinois, and we have a higher authority than the U.S. Constitution our new law, HB 1522 provides for taxing Peoria County residents and DuPage County residents for rainwater runoff. Furthermore, it enables Peoria County residents to vote on this, but denies DuPage County residents the right to vote.

And who or what is the higher authority that enacted this law that clearly violates the U.S. Constitution? It is the Illinois General Assembly and our governor, who just passed the law.

The Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives holds the purse strings of the U.S.A. All money spending bills must originate in the House of Representatives, according to the U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 7. The dreaded October implementation of the heart of Obamacare can be stopped dead in its tracks if the U.S. House of Representatives refuses to fund it. Call your U.S. representative and Speaker Boehner and demand a hold on Obamacare spending.

parking also encourages multiple families living in a single family house, these houses often use far more resources than they are paying for. That is unfair to all the taxpayers in the village. It’s time to stop catering to the few rotten apples, and focus on the good of the village. That is the fair thing to do.

• ANGELS Continued from page 5 Eyasi to coordinate the building of the school and offer medical support. Angels Outreach provided transportation for 123 mothers and children to see a doctor in nearby Karatu. It was the first time any had received medical attention. Every one of them had ringworms, and some were found to have malaria, whooping cough and other health issues.

In addition to the medical examinations, the women received basic teaching on planned pregnancies and malaria prevention from Fitzpatrick and others from Angels Outreach. The group also provided basic birth kits with materials like a cloth on which to lay a baby. The woman who founded the school translated materials into the women’s native language, Swahili, though many will, at least for now, have to rely on others to teach to them.

“Many of the girls, they don’t know how to read,” Fitzpatrick said.

Fitzpatrick’s plan is to go a step further than basic healthcare and education.

After noticing all the things the women were sewing and crafting during her first trip in November, she brought materials from home when she returned in April. Angels

Outreach will sell the result of this partnership, which will include dresses, skirts, shirts, handbags, baskets and other items. All proceeds will go toward Angels Outreach’s projects in Tanzania and Indonesia.

Through fundraising, the organization has funded the physical foundation of the vocational school, the installation of a water supply and the planting of 300 banana, orange and mango trees.

The school still needs a ceiling, and Fitzpatrick said she hopes to install solar panels in the future to provide energy. Eventually, she hopes to have a school where girls can learn skills that will help them make money or support themselves.

“This is all going to take time, but that’s our goal,” she said.

Shoppers can follow the group’s progress and learn about the women behind many of the items. Fitzpatrick said she plans to display something different in the store’s windows each day to teach passers-by about the women.

“I think La Grange is somewhat of an artsy little town, and I think they will support something that will help another town,” said Fitzpatrick, who moved to La Grange with her business in mind. “I don’t think I realized how perfect it fit in, actually.”

“Part of our concept of being a neighborhood restaurant is to be good to the environment around us and to help others do that, too.”

Christine Tully Aranza Owner and operator of Autre Monde

gan with a wine dinner featuring natural wines.

Christine Tully Aranza, owner and operator of Autre Monde, said almost all of their events this year have had green themes.

“The first was a green cocktail class; learning how to make cocktails with your own herbs for the summer,” she said. “We did a natural wine dinner last month, and we will be doing another one of those in November.”

Aranza said the concept has been working well.

“Part of our concept of being a neighborhood restaurant is to be good to the environment around us and to help others do that, too,” she said. “It’s been very well received.”

Nolan is founder of The Organic Gardener Ltd. and has designed and cultivated more than 650 farms and food gardens in and around Chicago – in downtown parks, public school yards, inner-city shelters, on restaurant rooftops, townhouse terraces and suburban estates.

She also is the designer of and project manager for The Edible Gardens at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, which is part of a nationwide initiative urging people to change the way they think about food.

In her book, “From the Ground Up: A Food Grower’s Education in Life, Love and the Movement That’s Changing the Nation,” Nolan shows how easy it s to grow the vegetables wherever people live.

Restaurant reviews

The Cellar Bistro uncorks delectable fare WHEATON – A friend mentioned The Cellar Bistro as a favorite destination, so my dining companion and I decided to drop by one recent weeknight to see for ourselves.

Outdoor seating beckoned, but we opted to sit indoors in the charming dining room.

The bistro’s corner location in downtown Wheaton is ringed by large windows, but, at night, the lighting goes way down to amp up the romantic ambiance. Amid tables and a few banquettes, we selected a hightop at a window to oversee the burgundy-red room and an attractively backlit bar, where stemware and wine bottles glimmer.

After viewing the menu’s expansive wine list, it’s easy to see why the word “cellar” is part of the bistro’s name. The full bar also features a few craft beers and alternates two on tap.

We opened with mushroom brie soup, accompanied by baguette slices. It was delectably savory, with a hint of sherry, and finely minced mushrooms in a creamy soup that tasted more complex with every spoonful.

Lyons Township quarterback Tom Fiedler drops back to pass against Willowbrook in a game Sept. 6. Fiedler and the Lions picked up their first win of the season Friday.

Lions get on track with win over Leyden

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com NORTHLAKE – It’s not quite do-or-die time for the Lyons Township football team, but the Lions are aware they don’t have much more room for error.

With their backs near the wall, LT picked up a 3114 win at Leyden on Friday to improve to 1-2 and begin the climb back from its slow start.

Running back Leonard Ross scored three touch-

LT 31, Leyden 14 LT leaders: Leonard Ross: 225 yards rushing, 3 TDs Matt Mrazek: 7 rec., 61 yards, TD Tommy Fiedler: 105 yards passing, TD

downs, including two in the second half, to help the Lions score the final 21 points of the game.

“We were expecting to win that [Leyden] game, but

then again we were expecting that we were going to win the first two games so it’s definitely a good feeling,” senior captain Sam Shea said.

“It’s definitely a game to turn momentum on our team.”

Junior quarterback Tommy Fiedler hit Matt Mrazek for a 6-yard touchdown to give LT a 17-14 lead just before halftime.

At that point the LT defense put the clamps down, something it had not done in the two losses when Warren

and Willowbrook scored 104 points.

“We were talking about how important this one was, how we can’t go in 0-3,” senior linebacker Ben Rimmele said.

“We’re not on panic level yet, but we are urgent to win at this point.”

LT now enters West Suburban Silver play with a home game against defending Class 7A champ Glenbard West.

The Hilltoppers may not be quite as strong as last

year’s undefeated squad – they already have a loss this season – but proved to be the favorite in the Silver by beating Downers Grove North, 21-0, over the weekend.

The Glenbard West game has been big since the Hilltoppers have emerged as one of the area’s best programs.

“Whenever this week comes the coaches are always in an intense mode,” Shea said.

“All the players are, too.

There’s not a lot of goofing around going on.”

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM

Bears face wounded, desperate Steelers team Hub Arkush I suppose it would be clever to say you really have to be wary of a wounded Steeler, and the Pittsburgh Steelers at 0-2 will be all of that when the Bears come calling Sunday night.

But the truth is I’m not entirely sure what a Steeler is? My best guess is they just represent steelworkers in Pittsburgh, and while I’m sure those guys are tough, I’m pretty sure I’d rather wrestle a Steeler than a Bear.

Still, this is the first time a Mike Tomlin-coached team has been two games under .500, and they’ll kick off the game knowing a win here puts them right back in the middle of the AFC North chase with all four clubs stumbling out of the gate.

These Steelers do have their issues, but they’re just four seasons removed from their last Super Bowl title and they will be a desperate bunch when

the Bears get to Pittsburgh.

The biggest challenge Pittsburgh offers is at quarterback, where Ben Roethlisberger already has won two Super Bowls for them – Tom Brady and Eli Manning are the only other active QBs with more than one ring – and is as dangerous extending plays in the pocket as anyone in the game.

Big Ben is particularly scary when his protection breaks down and he starts improvising. Bears defenders will have to hold their coverage in pass defense much longer than they do against most opponents, and with the problems they’ve had pressuring quarterbacks it can make for an awfully long night.

One factor in the Bears favor, however, is Pittsburgh is mediocre at best at most of the skill positions on offense, and the running game in particular is as weak as any Steeler team in recent memory.

Pittsburgh drafted Le’Veon Bell in the second round after allowing former No. 1 pick Rashard Mendenhall to leave via free agency and then sur-

prised many by releasing last year’s leading rusher, Jonathan Dwyer, in training camp.

When Bell went down with a foot injury – he’ll be sidelined at least three more weeks – the Steelers were forced to trade with the Cowboys to bring in Felix Jones. After sitting out the opener, Jones rushed 10 times for 37 yards on Monday night in Cincinnati and will probably be Pittsburgh’s main ball carrier versus the Bears.

Emmanuel Sanders, Antonio Brown and Jerricho Cotchery are the primary receivers but none match up particularly well with the Bears corners.

Heath Miller is a quality tight end but is still not 100 percent after a serious knee injury last year, and backups David Johnson, David Paulson and Michael Palmer really don’t scare anyone. This is another big benefit to the Bears, whose safeties have struggled in coverage to date.

Pittsburgh also continues to struggle on the offensive line, and their best player, Maurkice Pouncey, is through

for the year after tearing up his knee.

Completing the puzzle on that side of the ball, the Twitterverse was ablaze early in the Bengals game with insiders and amateurs alike trying to figure out whether or not Todd Haley even had a game plan and, if so, what it was.

Defensively, the Steelers still are very good against the run, and they love to get after the quarterback.

But the loss of veteran Larry Foote for the season in the opener versus Tennessee, along with the releases in the offseason of James Harrison and Casey Hampton, appear to have left a real leadership void.

Troy Polamalu is still on the backend at safety, but he appears to have lost half a step; and Ryan Clark is better against the run than the pass at the other safety.

This will be the Bears and Marc Trestman’s new offense’s first look at a 3-4 defense. For Pittsburgh it revolves around the linebackers, and LaMarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons are both still extremely active.

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Jaguars at Seahawks, Sunday 3:25

cation: This column carries no hatred for running backs.

The value of productive running backs in fantasy football is unquestioned.

The main point of the last couple of columns was that quarterbacks and receivers are also important. With every expert urging owners to draft running backs early, we felt there would be some good bargains at quarterback and receiver. Specifically, we said that Aaron Rodgers was going too late in most drafts.

And that’s the last time we need to visit that topic.

On to week three …

I guess this is an obvious one, but Seattle is going to crush the hapless Jaguars.

Some might worry about a letdown after their big win over the 49ers, but this is too big of a mismatch for that to matter. I won’t insult your intelligence with the obvious recommendations of Marshawn Lynch or the Seattle defense, but also play Russell Wilson and Steven Hauschka.

week one or week two? Let’s say somewhere in between, which makes him an OK play.

MATCHUPS TO AVOID Colts at 49ers, Sunday 3:25 Conversely, take a long look at any Colts. The 49ers will be out to prove a point.

Andrew Luck is very good and he’ll likely have to throw the ball many times.

However, Luck seems like a risky play, so consider other options at QB.

Chargers at Titans, Sunday noon

Bears at Steelers, Sunday 7:30

You might be frustrated with Chris Johnson, but stay patient this week. We’ll say 150 yards, with a high probability of a TD or two.

The new-and-improved Bears offense has looked just that over the first two weeks.

On the road in a hostile environment against a team with its back to the wall, it might be a different story, however. This is a below-average matchup for Forte, Marshall, and Martellus Bennett but they are playable (Bennett being the least attractive).

Colts at 49ers, Sunday 3:25 Colin Kaepernick rebounds in a big way. Also play Frank Gore, Vernon Davis and the 49ers defense. Will we see the Anquan Boldin of

Is there any more useless fantasy information – other than this column, of course – than the “start ’em or sit ’em” feature? Seriously, how can you definitively advise a fantasy owner to start or sit a certain player without knowing the specifics of that owner’s roster and league format?

If you play in an eightteam league, the bar for a “start” is set a lot higher than if you play in a 12-team league. Other factors, such as point systems and injuries, make it impossible to abjectly declare a player a “start” or a “sit.” Still, we watch the NFL Network scroll and wait to see the names of our players.

We rejoice when they are declared a “start” and cringe when they are a “sit.” I understand that this is intended

more of a thumbs up/thumbs down, but I’ve encountered many newer fantasy players who take the advice literally.

Weekly point projections also are flawed and tend to confuse newer owners. My wife pointed out to me that one of her backs was projected to score seven points and another was projected for 14. She figured it was a no-brainer. However, if you broke down the projection, they were probably predicting 70-some yards and no TD for the one back and 80-some and one TD for the other. If only life were that simple.

The yardage makes sense, but no one can accurately predict the intangibles that result in one player scoring and another getting shut out. Perhaps a more useful tool would be a yardage projection along with the estimated chance of scoring a TD. And once more for clarifi-

Plenty of points, but Bulldogs fall

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com GARY, Ind. – Riverside Brookfield coach Brendan Curtin knew his team needed to score a lot of points to beat Gary West Side, but he didn’t know 49 wouldn’t be nearly enough.

The host Cougars feature Ohio State wide receiver recruit Lonnie Johnson as part of a talented offense, and that offense didn’t disappoint in a 76-49 win over the Bulldogs on Friday.

“Knowing the firepower they had, going into that game I knew we were going to have to hang quite a few points on them to get it done,” Curtin said. “For the most part, it was a one and two-score game for a majority of the game. A couple minutes into the fourth quarter is when they really started to pull away.”

RB jumped out to a 19-14 lead at the end of the first quarter, but couldn’t keep pace with the Cougars after that. It’s the second week in a row the Bulldogs have shot out to an early lead in a loss. RB led Lemont, 14-0, in Week 2 before losing, 4420.

“It’s encouraging to know we’re capable of putting up three scores in a quarter,” Curtin said. “As far as sustaining and making plays on defense...that’s kind of a challenge for us right now.”

Quarterback Jack VandeMerkt got injured three plays into the game and was replaced by sophomore Ryan Swift. Swift kept the offense moving. He completed 13 passes and had touchdowns passes to Brian Kulaga and Lewis Rogers.

Curtin was complimentary of Swift’s competitiveness and believes he has a bright future.

Riverside Brookfield running back Adolfo Linares (middle) splits the Lemont defense during a game Sept. 6. Linares and the Bulldogs dropped a shootout to Gary West Side on Friday.

Gary West Side 76, Riverside Brookfield 49 RB leaders: Brian Kulaga: 134 rushing yards, 4 TDs; 70 receiving yards, TD Ryan Swift: 2 passing TDs Lewis Rogers: receiving TD “For a sophomore, the first time he ever really saw any real game action at the quarterback spot, we were pleased with his performance,” Curtin said.

“When you look at Ryan Swift, he’s a football player. We knew that even though Jack was starting, we knew that he was a good enough player that we wanted to

keep around.”

In an effort to get him on the field, Curtin said Swift has practiced at tight end, defensive line, linebacker and wide receiver.

Swift’s performance at quarterback was aided by a standout game from junior running back Kulaga, who had 134 yards and four rushing touchdowns in addition to the receiving touchdown.

These emerging offensive weapons will be needed in Week 4 at Rich Central.

The Olympians are 3-0 with an offense averaging 48 points per game and a defense that has two shutouts.

“They’ve got a good squad,” Curtin said. “I hate to use the term shootout, but it’s quite possible it could get to that again.”

8FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

Fenwick wins, remains perfect on season SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Fenwick 28, Brother Rice 20: Fenwick continued its hot start to the season by beating Brother Rice, a team from the more prestigious Chicago Catholic League Blue. Running back Robert Spillane caught two touchdowns from quarterback Gino Cavalieri and ran in another score. Cavalieri had three touchdowns, with the other going to Pat Donahue for 45 yards. Fenwick is 3-0 and enters Catholic League White play this week against Bishop

McNamara.

Marist 45, Nazareth 37: The Roadrunners put up a valiant effort against Marist, but were unable to pick up the road win in the East Suburban Catholic opener for both teams.

Naz running back Daniel Bakovich scored a touchdown in the first quarter to tie the game at 6-6, but the Redhawks earned some separation on a 69-yard touchdown reception and a 97-yard kickoff return by Flynn Nagel. The Roadrunners trailed 28-9, but fought back to take a

31-28 lead in the third quarter after a touchdown run by Cyle Tucker and two by freshman Ivory Kelly-Martin. The Redhawks (3-0, 1-0 ESCC) regained the lead with two more touchdowns and withstood another Naz rally that included Tucker’s second TD. Oak Park River Forest 29, Proviso West 6: The Panthers fell to 1-2 on the season in the West Suburban Silver opener for both teams.

The Huskies jumped ahead on a safety and two touchdowns

before Dennis Bryant Jr. hit Chance Haney for a third-quarter touchdown to cut the lead to 15-6. West could not score again in the loss.

St. Joseph 26, Elmwood Park 21: The Chargers picked up the first win of the season thanks to a 17-yard touchdown run by Brandon Johnson to give St. Joe the lead for good late in the fourth quarter. Johnson had two touchdowns on the day.

Quarterback Casey Scalise also threw for a pair of scores.

Exchange student boosts RB girls

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Scores of cross country runners got their first taste of Peoria’s Detweiller Park on Saturday in the First to the Finish Invitational.

Fall weather is approaching, which means runners can enjoy cross country season.

Many area teams made the trip to Peoria’s Detweiller Park for an invite over the weekend and hope the trial run prepared them for the state meet in the same location. Lyons Township will gun for another state trophy while Morton, Riverside Brookfield and Fenwick have state hopeful runners.

among the state’s top teams last season and winning a trophy, the Lions have enough of their top runners back to hope for repeat results in 2013.

Returning seniors Dan Lupano, James Ryan, Henry Hostettler and Ed McCarter already are coming in under 15:30 in early races. Depth was the key to last season’s team success, and those four provide LT with a strong starting base.

Senior Kevin Kilrea also is a returner from last season’s lineup. Juniors Vince Arata and Keefe Mulligan round out the top seven.

Sweet presentation Clear glasses, jars jazz up desserts

By Kathryn rem More Content Now

If you’re searching for a new way to impress dinner guests, look around your house for unused jars.

Desserts served in small, clear jars look elegant, are portion-controlled and show off the colors and textures of layered dishes.

“This has become a trend with chefs in restaurants,” said Andrea Jourdan, author of “150 Best Desserts in a Jar” (Robert Rose, 2013, $24.95).

“Everything is pretty in a jar.”

Jourdan, who lives in Montreal, is a chef who noticed the increasing number of jarred desserts on restaurant menus in Chicago, New York and Paris.

So she started scouting around her house for suitable dessert jars and found “they were everywhere.”

Easiest to find, perhaps, are wide-mouth canning jars. But she also recycles jelly and jam jars, condiment jars and all types of clear glass jars from around the world.

“Don’t use any jars that are chipped or very old,” she said. “If you have buttons in a jar from grandma, don’t use it.”

Other tips from Jourdan: n Select jars that fit the dessert. A layered dish will require a taller jar than a creamy flan. n Use a funnel, ice-cream scoop or pastry bag to fill jars neatly. n Mix it up. Serve dessert to each guest in a different type of jar. n Place jars on a baking or cookie sheet when baking. When cooking in a bain-marie (hot water bath), don’t let jars touch. n Leave extra room for expansion if freezing desserts in jars. n Label jars with the date it was made and use-by date if giving as gifts.

Single-serve desserts aren’t the only dishes that can be arranged in jars.

“Serving jars are a great way to put a different spin on a familiar recipe or to present something new and unusual,” Jourdan said.

“I’ve served just about everything in jars.”

Recipes are from “150 Best Desserts in a Jar.”

Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. when you’re ready to serve, remove jars from refrigerator and top with cooked cranberries. Using a long spoon, mix delicately. Garnish with mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately. note: Use real maple syrup. Maple-flavored syrups contain a lot of sugar or corn syrup and do not cook the same way.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948.

Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948.

Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain.

In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.”

There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
