BOLINGBROOK – More than a hundred orange-and-navy clad fans filled Tailgaters on Monday to cheer on their football team and raise money for tornado relief efforts in southern Illinois.

After all was said and done, the local residents parlayed a 45-28 Bears’ victory with $1,800 in generated funds and donations. The proceeds will soon be donated to a relief agency in either Washington or Coal City, two communities ravaged by a series of deadly tornadoes Nov. 17.

The Bolingbrook Lions Club hosted the fundraiser during the Chicago Bears-Dallas Cowboys Monday Night Football Game from 6 to 10 p.m. at the local sports bar.

Teaming up with the Tailgaters Bar and Grill staff, Lions Club board members manned a barbecue outside of the bar, grilling brats and steak sandwiches for more than 100 philanthropic sports fans.

All the proceeds from the food sales and a raffle – plus multiple donations from residents and Tailgaters ownership – amounted to $1,800, which then will be donated to tornado victims and their families.

Fundraiser coordinator and longtime resident Ray Macri was elated by the outpouring of support from the Bolingbrook community, explaining that Lions members anticipated raising a couple hundred dollars.

“This is an amazing turnout, especially when you factor in the frigid weather,” Macri said. “This motto of the

Will County employees approve new contract

By DAN FARNHAM

dfarnham@shawmedia.com After 15 months of negotiations and a 16-day strike, members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Will County voted to ratify a new four-year contract Dec. 5, according to a union news release.

The contract is retroactive to Dec. 1, 2012. The Will County Board will vote on its approval during a Dec. 19 meeting.

County employees returned

to work Dec. 5.

The issues debated between the union and the county included wage increases and health care.

“We didn’t want to see our wages lose ground when the cost of living goes up, and we weren’t going to accept a health plan where the lowest-paid employees were asked to do more than the highest-paid,” said AFSCME Local 1028 President Dave Delrose. “By standing together we reached a fair settlement that achieves those goals.”

The contract includes a 4.5 percent cost-of-living wage increase for the next three years and removes two steps on the wage scale, raising employee pay by five percent, the release said.

The union and county also agreed to have employees pay a percentage of the premium of their health-care benefits, instead of employee contributions being based on a percentage of their salary, according to a county news release.

The county compromised to increase the health-care con-

tributions throughout three years from eight to 10 percent aggregate of the health benefits, rather than 10 percent for all three years, the release said.

The employee contributions remain income banded, so lower-paid employees pay less and upper income employees pay more, according to the release.

“The County Board and my office sought to replace an unsustainable method of paying for benefits with a more fiscally responsible model,”

said Will County Executive Larry Walsh. “There is only so much money available and we believe this contract will put Will County on a more sustainable path for the future.”

Employees in the AFSCME union work in the county court system, health department, highway department, Sunny Hill Nursing Home, county jail and in the offices of the sheriff, coroner, recorder, assessor, clerk, chief judge, circuit clerk, executive and state’s attorney.

BOLINGBROOK – Instead of using ornaments, garland or tinsel to decorate their tree, Fountaindale Public Library staff will hang hats, mittens and scarves.

In conjunction with the Kiwanis Club of Bolingbrook and Romeoville and POWER Connection, the Bolingbrook library will host the second annual Mitten Tree effort.

The library began collecting donations for the tree, which is located by the staircase near the entrance of the library, Dec. 2 and will continue until Jan. 2.

Residents are asked to donate children’s hats, mittens and scarves in a box next to the tree, Mills said. At the end of the day, library staff will hang the donations onto the Mitten Tree. Donations will be given to the Kiwanis Club and POWER Connection, which will then distribute the items to children in need.

“I think an important part of the community is taking care of each other and creating opportunities to help those that need a little extra help,” said Paul Mills, executive director of the Fountaindale library. “We are helping the youngest community members stay warm.”

So far, there are about 30 items on the tree, Mills said.

The Mitten Tree began last year when the library was ap-

proached with the idea by Kiwanis Club, a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the world through service to children and the community, and POWER Connection, a nonprofit organization located in Bolingbrook whose mission is to empower people for life through job skills, educational training and resources for living.

“We thought it was a great idea,” Mills said.

Georgia Gilligan, vice president of the Kiwanis Club of Bolingbrook and Romeoville and member of the POWER Connection board of directors, said the Mitten Tree was started as a way to supplement the POWER Connection’s annual coat drive.

“It’s extremely helpful for the kids,” Gilligan said.

Gilligan said the POWER Connection will hold the collected winter items until they receive requests for them from local churches, schools and organizations.

A Celebrity in our Midst

ClaudeWalton brings a long history to Saratoga Grove Retirement Community DOWNERS GROVE – As a tall, 100

- year - old, African-American man, Claude Walton is something of a celebrity at Saratoga Grove — a retirement community in Downers Grove, Illinois. His fellow residents don’t know it, but Claude was one of only six minority students when he attended the University of Colorado in the 1930s, where he became the first athlete to earn All-American honors.

Another claim to fame: Claude was slated to compete in the qualifying meets for the 1936 Olympics, but he broke his ankle sliding into first base during a recreational softball game, so he did not compete in Germany with Jesse Owens.

“That softball game changed my life,” he says without regret. He accepted a job with the Chicago Park District and

stayed there for the next four decades. As an instructor in the tumbling program, he met a young Jesse White and became a mentor to him.

In 2008, 75 years after he attended the University of Colorado, Claude was inducted into the university’s Hall of Fame. At 94 years old, he was the oldest Hall of Claude Walton celebrated his Fame inductee.

Lisle pet food store, groomer team up partner, Lisle resident Tom Thornton, plan to utilize a retail space behind the grooming salon to create a doggie daycare. The co-owners plan to take down the wall in the back of the grooming salon to join with the retail space in the next three months, Collaro said.

The next step is to open a pharmacy and a lab area, Collaro said, after he graduates from the Vet Tech Institute at Fox College, which he plans to begin in the next four months.

Collaro hopes the expansion will not only reach customers outside Lisle, but offer more to its local clientele. He said his favorite part of having the store in Lisle is the customers.

“We have had quite a local following in customers and we got a lot of donations when we started the rescue,” Collaro said. “We are very grateful and blessed to have the type of customers we do in Lisle.”

BOLINGBROOK – A 60-second informational video clip featuring Brooks Middle School students is one of the top prize winners in the Illinois Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (IAHPERD) “Bone Health” video contest.

The Brooks video, produced and directed by physical education teacher David Burke, finished fourth in the contest bringing a $600 stipend and a new set of jump ropes to the Bolingbrook school’s PE program.

Burke, who has a background in video editing and has produced several instructional videos, accepted the award at the group’s statewide conference last month.

“It was an honor for Brooks to get a state-level award like this,” he said. “We put a lot of work into it, and I’m really proud of our students.”

NATURE’S BEST

BOTTLED WATER AND FLUORIDE Q: Am I getting adequate fluoride protection for my teeth if I’m drinking bottled water?

A: You and a lot of other people are drinking water from bottles, rather than from the tap.

However, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control, “bottled water may not have a sufficient amount of fluoride, which is important for preventing tooth decay and promoting oral health.” Some bottled waters contain fluoride and some do not. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced that it will allow bottlers to claim that fluoridated water may reduce the risk of tooth decay. Delta Dental and the American Dental Association support the FDA’s decision. The FDA, however, does not require bottlers to list the fluoride content on labels.

About two-thirds of the U.S. population that relies on public water systems drink fluoridated water from the tap. Many types of toothpaste also include fluoride. Fluoride at optimal levels helps prevent tooth decay. All ground and surface water contains some naturally occurring fluoride.

The ADA has supported efforts to add fluoride to drinking supplies when necessary to raise the parts-per-million to at least 0.7. If you are a bottled water drinker, check the label on the bottle. If fluoride content is not listed, you can get the information by contacting the bottler.

Talk with your dentist about your water-drinking practices and ask him if you’re getting enough fluoride.

LISLE – From pet grooming to holistic food, one Lisle business has taken the first steps toward being able to offer a variety of pet services and products in one location.

Located in the same strip mall, All Pet Pantry, 4910A Main St., has merged with Hand-n-Paw, 4912 S. Main St. Instead of sharing a wall, the pet food pantry and pet grooming/washing salon are now adjoined through an opening in the wall.

“Right in front of the store you can now see clear across,” said Anthony Collaro, co-owner of All Pet Pantry. “Now we can do a lot more and offer people a lot better service than we did. And we are doing something a lot different.”

All Pet Pantry opened in June 2012 and offers American-made natural, holistic and green food, treats and supplies for pets, including dogs, cats, birds, small animals, reptiles and fish. It also houses Bella’s Buddies, an Illi-

nois state-licensed pet rescue, which has reached almost 100 adoptions since it opened in July.

With the merger, Collaro said customers can ask for assistance with self-wash and nail trims during All Pet Pantry’s hours, which are more extensive than Hand-n-Paw’s hours.

The store is also offering several discounts. When customers have their pets groomed, they will receive 10 percent off treats.

Collaro said merging with the grooming salon is the pet food pantry’s first step toward offering numerous pet services in one location.

“We are trying to make a uniform thing where we can include grooming, sitting, boarding, healthy foods and adoptable animals,” Collaro said. “We basically want to be the Whole Foods [Market] of the pet industry – to offer everything.”

Although this is the first expansion for the business, it will not be the last.

Collaro said he and his

WCKG moves to Wheaton, promises county coverage

By NATHAN LURZ

nlurz@shawmedia.com When listening to radio news in the suburbs, the lead stories often revolve around the city of Chicago.

However, a station that just moved to Wheaton is hoping to change the conversation to DuPage County.

Police: Bell ringer stole $1,000 in donations from Salvation Army bucket SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA NAPERVILLE – A Chicago man is accused of stealing more than $1,000 from a Salvation Army donation bucket.

Joe Horton, 52, of 6331 S. Justine in Chicago, faces a charge of misdemeanor theft for stealing $1,030 in donations from the bucket, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney. Hor- Joe ton worked as Horton a bell ringer for the Salvation Army outside a Naperville store.

He also faces a Class 4 felony charge of identity theft for allegedly attempting to use a credit card from a lost wallet he found outside the same store, authorities said

in a news release.

“The allegations against Mr. Horton are completely outrageous,” state’s Attorney Robert Berlin said. “The very idea that someone would steal donations meant for the less fortunate is sickening, particularly given the fact that we are in the heart of the holiday season.

“I would like to thank members of the Naperville Police Department for their fine work and assistance in this case. I would also like to thank assistant state’s Attorney Romas Mockaitis for his work as well.”

Horton appeared in bond court Thursday morning where Judge Elizabeth Sexton set his bond at $40,000 with 10 percent to apply.

His next court appearance is scheduled Dec. 30 in front of Judge George Bakalis.

Good riddance, Mandela. The media played him up like some kind of international messiah.

Fact is, he was sent to prison for criminal charges of possession of a case of hand grenades. Let’s not forget Winnie Mandela, whose organization would murder blacks if they so much as said “good afternoon” to a police officer on the street.

Fact – they would get hold of them, call them informants, put rubber tires around them, fill them with gas and set them on fire. I didn’t expect the liberal media to print the truth about that. These things were documented, and many times filmed. Dig a little deeper, media.

If they think we’re going to pay over $20 to have leaves picked up, forget it. With the 50 percent increase and unreasonable additional fees, Advanced Disposal needs to go.

Against the sports complex

Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves continues to press forward trying to build a sports complex in Lemont. He tried to get it through previously without any input from the residents.

Therma Tru Doors

He only gave us a 30-day notice, but we exercised our right and had enough signatures on a petition to force it to go to referendum. As it stands today, he’s been trying to secure private financing for the sports complex and is unable to do so because the investors do not want to invest in polluted land that the Village of Lemont does not own; the land is owned by the water reclamation district. So, if the private investors have no desire to invest in a $20 million sports complex, what gives him the right to burden the taxpayers with a $20 million bond so if this thing fails it’s up to the taxpayers to bail it out? Bottom line, if he cannot secure private investors for this $20 million sports complex, why does he continue pressing on and still wants it to bring it to referendum? The private investors don’t want it, and we don’t want it either.

DOWNERS GROVE – In 2008, Downers Grove native Nancy Gelband-O’Connor saw a need for more gallery space and opportunities for local artists, and decided to do something about it.

She organized her first Artfest show that year, displaying work by about eight artists in her friend Meredith Harbour’s home.

“She and I wanted to give local artists an opportunity to have a venue and to have some exposure,” she said. “It was an absolute success. We could barely contain the traffic, and I was so glad I didn’t stay in the bathroom the whole show – I was going to die I was so nervous.”

In the following years, the event slowly grew.

“It’s a little bit difficult for artists without a gallery to be seen,” she said. “They’re very talented artists, just frustrated with nowhere to go. And this is a place where we congregate.”

On Friday and Saturday, Artfest showcased work by about 20 artists and craftsmen in a former store space at 4949 Forest Ave. in Downers Grove, below the yoga studio where she and many of the other artists often exercise.

This is the first year the event was in this new space.

Nancy Gelband-O’Connor displays her art Saturday at the sixth annual Artfest in Downers Grove.

Washington, Ill., keepsakes turn up in area

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – After a tornado destroyed Maureen Fandel’s home in Washington, Ill., she found many of her photos just feet from where she kept them, but some in the same collection landed more than 100 miles away.

Six days after the storm, Westmont residents Keith and Fab Reich were raking leaves when they came across a single photo in their front yard, and one in their backyard.

Keith Reich had heard of downstate items swept up by the storm’s powerful winds found in the Chicago area, so he posted each picture on a Facebook page for unclaimed items.

Sure enough, within an hour of the post, Fandel’s sister recognized one of the photos as a picture of their father.

It’s the sixth or seventh item from Fandel’s home found in the Chicago area.

Fandel, her husband Karl

“We don’t have anything anymore. It really means a lot to get these old pictures back.”

Maureen Fandel

Washington, Ill., resident and seven-month old daughter Nora were safe in their basement when the tornado leveled their house. They are now living with her parents in Metamora.

“We don’t have anything anymore,” said Fandel, who is a high school teacher. “It really means a lot to get these old pictures back.”

Curiously, she had even been in Westmont two days before the tornado. She is longtime friends with former Mayor Bill Rahn’s daughter, and had driven north for the funeral. The “It’s a small world” moments continued a week later when Reich realized that one of his best friends, Kevin Gleason, is Fandel’s uncle by marriage.

“We were trying to think

of the odds of that making it all the way up here, and then having the Westmont connection,” Reich said. “What are the odds of that?”

No such coincidences have occurred with the second photo the Reichs found in their yard. It’s owner has still not been discovered. He plans to send the picture to the Morton Public Library, which has taken up a collection of found items.

Facebook did help connect another Washington family that lost an item and a Downers Grove family last week.

Downers Grove resident Pamela Nicholas’ son Anthony was playing in their yard Dec. 1 when he found what he thought was money.

“He brought it to me and

I thought he was kidding,” Nicholas said. “And I looked at it and I saw that it was a $50 savings bond.”

Nicholas didn’t think much about it at first, and just assumed it had flown off the back of a garbage truck or came from some other unremarkable place, until she looked at the owner’s address printed on the bond.

“I put two and two together and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh this came all the way from Washington and landed in our backyard,’” she said.

After some digging on Facebook, she was able to track down the Warren family in Washington by the end of the week.

So far, it’s the only item they’ve found on their large lot that borders a wooded area, but they have kept looking.

“You never know,” she said. “When I was looking online I’ve seen more people who have lost one or two items that mean the world to them.”

Downers Grove OKs marijuana dispensary restrictions

By ED McMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com

The special use was recommended by the plan commission in October, and limits cultivation and dispensing centers to areas zoned for light manufacturing (M1).

M1 allows for a range of uses, including offices, banks, medical and dental clinics and daycare centers. M1 does not allow for schools, and is typically isolated from residential uses, according to village documents.

The state statute requires a marijuana dispensary to be at least 1,000 feet from a school, daycare or residentially-zoned area, and a cultivation site would have to be at least 2,500 feet away.

The village’s special use also requires both to be the

DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Village Council has approved restrictions for where medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensaries would be allowed in town.

The zoning restrictions are in preparation for the new Illinois medical marijuana law.

The restrictions were passed by the council 4-3 on Dec. 3, with commissioners Sean Durkin, Becky Rheintgen and Bob Barnett voting “no.”

They said the restrictions were not strict enough and wanted to see further limitations of where the facilities could be located in town.

same distances from any parks, at the request of the park district.

Durkin and Rheintgen both wanted to additionally restrict marijuana dispensaries or cultivation centers from being within proximity of recreational facilities. Their recommendation was not added to the list of restrictions.

“I think we’re being too lenient by supporting what staff’s recommending,” Durkin said.

In addition to applying for a special-use permit with the village, any prospective marijuana clinic owner would have to comply with a lengthy list of state standards listed in the new statute, and owners would be subject to a criminal back-

ground check.

“The inclusion of a special use in this gives us the flexibility we need in order to apply, in a rational and thoughtful manner, the ordinance we have and take into account some of the other concerns that we have,” Commissioner Greg Hose said.

Commissioner David Olsen also cited the fact that any prospective owner would have to come before the council to be approved for a special use as a further level of control for the village.

“I plan to support this, though I’m not happy about [the new state law],” he said.

“This state law is not something I would have supported, but it’s out of our control.”

vich said this fall that like any request for a special use, the village looks at whether the business fits in the with the comprehensive plan for the proposed area, and whether it promotes and protects the “public health, safety, morals, comfort and general welfare.”

“The state statute allows us to place reasonable zoning regulations on these [businesses],” Popovich said.

There are six areas zoned as light manufacturing in Downers Grove, but only two areas would fit the new requirements due to proximity to schools and parks: the area near Ogden Avenue and Warrenville Road and the Ellsworth Industrial Park.

Illinois is the 21st state to pass a medical marijuana law.

It goes into effect Jan. 1.

The new law limits the total number of licensed dispensaries and cultivation sites at 60 and 22, respectively, statewide. Patients with a prescription from a doctor to treat one of 35 eligible medical conditions will be able to buy up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks.

8NEWS BRIEF Senate passes bill to draw Univar to Downers Grove Legislation co-sponsored by state Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Hinsdale, encouraging the relocation of Univar’s headquarters to Downers Grove was approved Dec. 3 by the Illinois Senate.

The bill is an amended version of similar legislation passed by the Illinois House last month. It will return to the House for a vote before going to the governor’s desk.

The legislation will allow Univar to apply an EDGE tax credit against tax withholdings created by the new and retained jobs, instead of only corporate income taxes. The legislation is anticipated to secure the company almost $5 million in incentives during a period of 10 years.

In exchange, Univar would be required to invest $9.3 million in capital improvements, retain 100 full-time jobs at Illinois locations and create 69 full-time jobs.

Restaurant reviews

Barone’s builds buzz with pizza prowess GLEN ELLYN – A serious craving for pizza one recent Sunday afternoon prompted us to try someplace new, Barone’s of Glen Ellyn, which turns out to be a community institution steeped in the village’s history and in the noble art of the American pie.

Founded in 1971, the restaurant has two dining rooms, decorated with photos tracing the history of Glen Ellyn, with an homage to earlier identities such as Danby and Prospect Park written prettily across faux-finished walls. Warmly greeted as we were directed to our table, we were treated to one of several booths with a digital frame shuffling through a display of historic photographs, which proved great fun and a conversation kick-starter.

The attractively designed space is conducive to conversation, even as the rooms began to fill shortly following the daily mid-afternoon opening.

Looking for an interesting brew, my dining companion found Mama’s Little Yella Pils, which he recommends for its crisp, clean flavor, and I enjoyed a generously poured house cabernet. Cocktails are available, along with a variety of wines and craft beers.

While we studied the menu, which extends to Italian dishes and other staples in addition to pizza, we enjoyed thick slices of crusty bread accompanied by a petite carafe of olive olive for dipping and a shaker of Parmesan. While good enough to be homemade, the bread turned out to be from Turano Baking Company of Berwyn.

We opened with a delicious wedge salad, with ultra crisp iceberg lettuce smothered in the house bleu cheese dressing and well sprinkled with diced tomato and crunchy, flavorful bacon for zesty contrasts in texture and taste.

A cross-country celebrity argument recently in the news about the merits of Chicago’s stuffed pizza vs. traditional crust was resolved peacefully

The “small” stuffed pizza is a substantial treat for pizza lovers and will Crisp flavors set this wedge salad apart – did we mention all the basatisfy the heartiest appetite. con, plus tomato? long ago at Barone’s, which embraces thin crust, pan and stuffed pizza.

Thankfully, it also offers a delicious gluten-free crust option that I tried with sausage, onions and a plentiful topping of fresh mushrooms.

This alternate thin crust with its mildly tell-tale sweetness means the welcome end of deprivation for pizza lovers trying to avoid gluten.

My companion went for the stuffed pie, with fresh spinach, mushroom and bacon.

“While not classic Chicago style, it’s a tasty suburban twist,” he said.

And while he ordered a “small” pizza, it provided eight massive slices – and ample leftovers for lunches.

The service was terrific, and we liked being able to help ourselves to water refills with a wine-bottle-cum-watercarafe as we lingered over the meal.

The menu ranges from pasta and Italian specialties to barbecue ribs, burgers, soups

and salads, with gluten-free pasta also available.

Off the dining rooms is a spacious entry area that accommodates pickup and delivery services, and houses a freezer case of pizza and other dishes that folks can take home to finish cooking in their own kitchen.

Another case holds tempting desserts, ideal to take along if you haven’t left enough room at dinner. Also sold are package wine and beer, candy, ice cream and ices.

As we walked to its parking lot, we spotted Barone’s playroom for kids, featuring toys and video games with several rapt young people – another thoughtful touch at this venerable family restaurant.

Modernize the holiday by choosing a salmon and chartreuse color scheme over traditional red and green, mentions Canepa. “If this part of the color wheel leaves you flat, use the symbols of Christmas like candy canes, reindeer, stars, pinecones, stockings, candles and balls - but make sure they are other hues than red and green. Add white, lots of white, which adds pop.”

Silver, gold and mirrored surfaces are also appropriate and modern, as are neutral colors such as white, gray and beige when combined with shiny materials.

“Silver is the metallic accent that ties [this year’s holiday] colors together,” says Ann Durkin, part-time adjunct faculty professor of Interior Design at The Art Institute of Phoenix.

Durkin adds that this holiday season marks a shift toward textures that express warmth through materials - such as wood, suede and burlap.

“There is a strong desire for more touchable handmade or nature-made objects with a modern twist.-This can be an embroidered or knitted pillow covers, textured rugs or a burlap tree skirt.”

She advises holiday decorators to keep things simple and to showcase special pieces such as handmade ornaments. “There is no need to buy new decorations every year.-But don’t let the old decorations drive your design for the space.”-Be selective in how you will re-use them.

Durkin says that updating old ornaments can be as simple as repainting them with matte silver paint and affixing silver beads with a sheer silver bow.

Old ornaments may also be re-covered with fabrics such as burlap, to give an earthy hand-made appearance.-”This way you can still preserve the original look of the ornament, if it makes sense to use it again in the future. Think of it as a slip-cover for your ornament.

“The overall idea is to have fun and re-use existing decorations as much as possible by reinventing them,” Durkin states.

The key to this holiday season’s decorating: keeping things simple yet chic while matching your personal style. “Create a timeless ensemble which could extend beyond the holiday season and be used as the basic foundation for your interiors throughout the year,” says Durkin.

WSD • Wednesday, December 11, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

(BPT) - This year’s holiday season is taking on a decidedly modern twist, with an emphasis on recycling and repurposing old decorations, utilizing sustainable decor, and adding sparkle to complete the look.

Shari Canepa, American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), member, LEED Green Associate, and a member of the interior design faculty at The Art Institute of California - San Francisco, a campus of Argosy University, says that sustainability begins with the icon of Christmas: the Christmas tree.

“It can no longer be artificial or cut.

Bring a potted tree into your home with the intention of planting it after Christmas in the yard. The idea is to save a tree and plant a tree, giving a gift to nature after Christmas.”

Canepa recommends creating a new focal point in the public area of your home to reinforce the spirit of the season. “You can do this with a tree, wreaths, special seasonal decorative accessories or lighting. Shifting the focal point changes your psychological relationship to the room.”

To design a new focal point, Canepa suggests an arrangement of various sized potted trees that can be conveniently moved. Create a mini forest of varying sizes and heights and decorate with lights and ornaments. “Supple evergreen branches wrapped around a stair banister with or without lights is also a nice addition.”

To continue the sustainable trend, utilize energy-friendly LED lights around pictures, ceiling moldings, desk railings, in interior flower arrangements or on door casings.

“Sophisticated or elegant interiors move toward white lights while energetic, youthful or modern themes make use of the color option.

These energy saving lights make using lots of sparkle for Christmas guilt-free,” Canepa says.

(BPT) - Cinnamon may be the world’s most popular baking spice, but all cinnamons are not created equal, and in the foodie world, Vietnamese cinnamon has emerged as the most prized of the bunch.

The bunch, by the way, includes an array of cinnamons and cassias, all from evergreen trees of the Cinnamomum genus. Some are from Indonesia, others from China, Sri Lanka or Mexico.

Dark reddish/brown and lushly aromatic, Vietnamese cinnamon is favored for its distinctly sweet, peppery, spicy flavor. Less tannic and more robust than its relatives, it delivers a powerful taste whether used solo - as in those gooey rolls or spirally bread - or in combo with other spices - in a curry or pumpkin pie spice blend, for example.

All that potency comes from an extraordinarily high volatile oil content - the highest of all the cinnamons about 1 to 6 percent, compared with .5 to 2.5 percent in other cinnamons. The high oil content also helps the flavor disperse fully; there’s no mistaking what spice you’re dealing with when you taste a dish seasoned with Vietnamese cinnamon.

Tips for using Vietnamese cinnamon: Browse any assortment of baking recipes and you’ll find cinnamon in the ingredients lists for cakes, muffins, breads, cookies, pies, bread puddings, cobblers, crisps, and pastries. It also has a special affinity for fruits, such as apples, apricots,

cherries, pears, bananas and citrus.

Cinnamon’s warm flavor also shows up in plenty of savory dishes - soups, sauces, chutneys, catsup, pickles, fish, meat and poultry glazes, as well as many ethnic recipes. Its pungent sweetness also enhances grains and hearty vegetables like carrots, squash, potatoes, beets and onions. In most savory dishes, cooks prefer Vietnamese cinnamon over other cinnamons because of its ability to hold its own alongside other lively ingredients.

When using Vietnamese cinnamon to spice a beverage - a hot cocoa, an eggnog, hot cider, coffee or tea - you might start by stirring it into your prepared beverage just a bit at a time. Once you nail your preferred amount, you can add it directly right into your coffeemaker basket along with your ground coffee, your mulling cider pot or your tea blend, for example.

Vietnamese cinnamon also partners well with other spices like cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, allspice and black pepper.

Here are a few places you might not have considered using cinnamon: * Soups, stews and chili * Peanut brittle * Popcorn seasoning * Spice rubs for meats * Grilling marinades for fruits * Rice and tapioca puddings * Chocolate cakes * Spiced nuts * Granola and muesli

Here’s a recipe that shows off the vibrant flavor of Vietnamese cinnamon: Poached Cinnamon Cheese Pears 4 large pears 3/4 cup pear juice 1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cinnamon stick 2 tablespoons golden raisins 4 ounces softened cream cheese 1/4 teaspoon Vietnamese cinnamon powder 3 tablespoons slivered almonds Slice pears in half lengthwise and core. Place in a saucepan. In a small bowl combine juice, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick and raisins; pour over the pears. Cover and simmer about half an hour, until pears are just tender. Place pears on a serving platter. Blend together cream cheese, leftover cooking liquid and cinnamon powder. Spoon some of the mixture atop the center of each pear, sprinkle with almonds, and serve.

Makes four large servings.

For a collection of seven savory recipes with cinnamon from various publications, visit www.theKitchn.com. Vietnamese cinnamon is available through Frontier Natural Products. They offer their organic Vietnamese cinnamon (5 percent oil) in one-pound bulk bags as well as 1.31-ounce bottles. This brand won the Gold Star Award from the restaurant industry publication Sante Magazine, who deemed it “a standout.”

Holly and mistletoe are symbols of Christmas

“O

h, by gosh, by golly it’s time for mistletoe and holly. Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents, countrysides covered in snow.”

As exemplified by this holiday hit by Henry Sanicola, Frank Sinatra and Dok Stanford, holly and mistletoe are an integral part of holiday imagery and tradition. Holly is used to adorn a home in green and red finery alongside evergreen boughs and wreaths. In addition, it has become customary to hang a bouquet of mistletoe under which people are encouraged to share a holiday kiss. While these elements of celebrations are now incorporated into many of the secular and religious components of Christmas, they have very different origins.

Whether faux or fresh mistletoe, a bouquet of this plant symbolizes peace and tranquility for Christmas.

Holly

Holly has been used since the days of the early Pagans as a decoration for midwinter festivities, when it was brought into homes to keep evil spirits away. The ancient Romans also believed that holly prickles drove away evil spirits, and it held a place of honor at December festivals dedicated to the god Saturn. To avoid persecution during the Roman pagan Saturnalia festival, early Christians would participate in the tradition of hanging evil-repelling holly on their homes to appear like the masses.

Eventually as the number of Christians grew, the tradition became less of a pagan one and more associated with Christians and Christmas. Some people have inferred that holly and its prickly edges is symbolic of the crown of thorns Jesus wore at his crucifixion, with the red berries representing blood.

Mistletoe

Mistletoe was once held sacred by the Norse, Celtic Druids and North American Indians. It is actually a parasitic plant that grows on a wide range of host trees. Heavy infestation can dwarf the growth and kill these trees. In cultures across pre-Christian Europe, mistletoe was seen as a representation of divine male essence (and thus romance, fertility and vitality). The plant also was thought to be a symbol of peace, and anyone standing below it should receive tokens of affection. When enemies met

beneath mistletoe, they had to lay down their weapons and observe a truce until the next day. This is how the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe likely began, and why a ball of mistletoe is now hung in homes during Christmas, a season of peace and affection.

Homeowners who hang mistletoe and holly around their homes during the holiday season should be mindful of pets and youngsters around the plants. Mistletoe and holly are considered to be moderately to severely toxic, and ingesting the leaves could be dangerous. Therefore, keep these plants away from curious hands. Mistletoe is commonly hung up high, which should make it less problematic, but holly should be hung high as well.

Now largely associated with Christmas celebrations, holly and mistletoe were once part of pagan rituals and ancient superstitions.

Express gratitude - It’s important to remember that above all else, holiday tipping is really holiday thanking, extending a courteous gesture as a result of service throughout the year. No matter how much or what you decide to give, it’s always important to offer your thanks with a hand-written note or holiday card. After all, it’s the thought and sentiment behind the gesture that matters most, not the gift itself.

Consider these holiday tipping guidelines from Post:

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE |

(BPT) - When the holiday season arrives, so too does the enigma of holiday tipping.

What’s supposed to be a sign of gratitude for great service, can quickly turn into stress as you try to decide if and how much you should tip the handyman, mail carrier, babysitter and many more.

Lizzie Post, co-author of “Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th edition” and great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post, knows the finer points of tipping during the holiday season, including who to tip, how much to tip and how to stay on budget doing so. Post has teamed with up Bank of America, and here are some of her suggestions: Make a list - The key to holiday tipping is to plan ahead so nobody gets overlooked.

A tip is appropriate for people who have provided their services throughout the year, like your dog walker, housekeeper, personal trainer, hairstylist, doorman and trash collector. Don’t forget to think of the entire family in the process, as well - it’s always good to recognize babysitters, day care providers and nannies.

Scale appropriately - The general rule of thumb for holiday tipping is up to the cost of one instance of service. However, this does not ring true for everyone on your list. Individuals who provide service on a more regular basis, such as an au pair or housekeeper, may require additional recognition, such as one week’s pay. Some people who may appreciate a gift, but most likely cannot accept cash, include your child’s teacher, health care professionals and government employees, like your mail carrier. By making gift purchases for these individuals with a rewards card, such as BankAmericard Cash Rewards(TM) card, you can earn cash back on every purchase, so when the holidays conclude, you have extra money in your pocket.

Leverage technology - The holiday season is a hectic time of year for many people, so leverage technology to make life easier. Using easy-to-use tools, such as Bank of America’s mobile application, you can stay on top of account balances for gift giving and set up alerts to get balance

of Santa alive. In addition to the standard traditions of leaving cookies and milk out for the jolly old man, come up with new ways to evoke the essence of Santa. Spray peppermint air freshener around the tree and other places Santa is sure to visit. Use a large boot to make a footprint in a plush rug. Find a way to trigger noise on the roof to give kids the impression that Mr. Claus himself has arrived. Extra measures to keep Santa alive can help everyone enjoy the holiday that much more. * Take advantage of opportunities to spend time with Santa. Parents and children alike have many opportunities to spend time with Santa during the holiday season, including photo opportunities at the mall and personalized videos sent directly to youngsters’ email accounts. Elf dolls and breakfast with Santa at a nearby restaurant are other opportunities to spread the magic. Make the most of these opportunities over the course of the holiday season. * Spread some Christmas cheer. Santa’s job is to bring presents to the world’s children. Channel the notion that giving is better than receiving and spend time giving back to others as a family. Schedule a day when you can distribute gifts at a senior center or arrange to bring gifts to a foster child. Bake cookies and deliver cellophane-wrapped dishes to all of your neighbors. These activities put the emphasis on giving.

Keeping the tradition of Santa Claus alive can help adults and children alike enjoy a more festive holiday season.

e had a broad face and a little round belly that shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf. And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself. - “A Visit From St. Nicholas” Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without Santa Claus. Santa will forever be ingrained in the holiday season, serving as an endearing symbol of the season regardless of your religious affiliation.

Parents typically go to great lengths to ensure their children enjoy the holiday season. By keeping the magic of Santa alive, parents can add a special touch to the holiday season for their youngsters. Children may become more skeptical of Santa around the time they turn 10, but there are plenty of ways to encourage this spirit to live on year after year. * Read an uplifting story.

The holidays are ripe with stories that tug at the heartstrings. Parents can take their children to the library and rent a Christmas tale or take home a book of holiday stories, reading a different one before bed each night.

Encourage children to write their own positive stories of what the holidays mean to them and read them aloud to family and friends.

The book “101 Ways to Keep the Spirit of Santa Alive: For “Kids” From 1 to 92” by John Hagerman is a great way to get everyone in the house enthusiastic about Santa. * Keep the magic flowing. Children who believe in Santa for an extra year or two often come from families that keep the magic

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM

Are the Browns the cupcake the Bears need?

Hub Arkush With the Bears desperately needing to close out the season with three more wins to keep their hopes of winning the NFC North and a trip to the playoffs alive, the Cleveland Browns would appear to be exactly the cupcake the doctor ordered.

After all, the Browns are 4-9, mired in a four-game losing streak, and stuck in last place in the AFC North.

Ah, but looks can be deceiving.

The Bears have faced three other lastplace teams this season in the Vikings, Redskins and Rams, and their record is 1-3 against them, with a loss to each.

While the Browns record is weak, they do own victories over the Bengals and Ravens, and they actually had a 26-14 lead last week in New England with only two minutes remaining before the Patri-

ots made a miraculous comeback with the help of some questionable officiating.

This is a team the Bears absolutely cannot afford to look past if they don’t want to risk all the ground they just made with Monday night’s win over the Cowboys.

The good news for the Bears is the Browns’ greatest struggles are in the area of the Bears’ greatest challenge.

While the Bears are still dead last in the NFL against the run, the Browns are only 28th in the NFL in rushing and 27th in average gain per run.

That is in large part due to their early season trade of Trent Richardson to the Colts, which may have netted them an extra first round draft choice in the 2014 draft, but left them with the aged Willis McGahee, who is averaging only 2.7 yards a carry, and youngsters Chris Ogbonnaya and Fozzy Whittaker.

Cleveland is better throwing the football, ranking 10th in passing yardage, but they’re only 28th in average gain per pass and are 18th in interceptions and sacks allowed.

Therma Tru Doors

Part of the problem is the inability to keep quarterbacks healthy.

Brian Hoyer had won the starting job before tearing up a knee and going down for the year, and former Bears’ quarterback Jason Campbell was playing very well with an 88.0 passer rating before battling a concussion for several weeks.

Campbell did make it back last week to throw for 391 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions at New England, the bulk of it going to Josh Gordon.

Gordon is enjoying an All-Pro type season with 71 receptions, 1,400 yards and eight touchdowns. He will pose the biggest challenge for the Bears’ defense, Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman in particular. Tight end Jordan Cameron also is extremely dangerous. He’s caught 72 passes for 825 yards and seven touchdowns on the year.

For all their prowess in the passing game, the Browns still average only 19.8 points a game, good for 27th in the league is scoring.

The Browns’ defense has been ex-

cellent most of the season in keeping opposing offenses off the field, ranking seventh in total defense, fourth against the run and second in average yards per rushing play. They are eighth against the pass, and third in average yards per pass play.

Big plays are the Browns defense’s Achilles heel, though, as it’s only 24th in interceptions, 14th in sacks and 19th in points allowed.

Paul Kruger and rookie first-round draft pick Barkevious Mingo are their best pass rushers. D’Qwell Jackson is the club’s leading tackler from the inside linebacker spot, and Phil Taylor and Ahtyba Rubin do a really nice job up front at nose tackle and the five techniques, respectively, in the Browns’ base 3-4 defense.

If the Bears’ offense plays like it did against the Cowboys, it’ll be an extremely tough out for Cleveland. But if the Bears can’t pressure Campbell in the pocket, he, Gordon and Cameron will give the Bears another shootout like all the other last-place clubs they’ve faced.

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Broncos (vs. Chargers), 7:25

p.m. Thursday At this point, you probably don’t need anyone to tell you to play your Broncos, but this is a particularly good matchup.

Only four teams give up more passing yards than San Diego, and one of those teams is the Broncos. Looks like a shootout.

Must starts: Peyton Man-

Avoid,” but this will be an opportunity for their offense to produce. To their credit, the Falcons haven’t given up, and the Washington defense is terrible.

Solid plays: Steven Jackson, Tony Gonzalez Worth a look: Matt Ryan, Roddy White Last resort: Harry Douglas Avoid: Atlanta defense Browns (vs. Bears), Sunday noon We all know by now that the Bears have a historically bad run defense. The Browns, however, have no rushing attack. Something has to give.

As usual, it will be the Bears defense.

Must starts: Josh Gordan, Jordan Cameron Solid plays: Willis McGahee* Worth a look: Jason Campbell, Billy Cundiff Last resort: Greg Little Avoid: Cleveland defense Eagles (at Vikings), noon Sunday Chip Kelly has all but ditched the gadget offense, and the Eagles are rolling. There is no reason to think that roll will stop against a sieve-like defense in Minnesota.

Must starts: LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson Solid plays: Nick Foles, Riley Cooper Worth a look: Alex Henery, Philly defense Last resort: Brent Celek, Zach Ertz

MATCHUPS TO AVOID Buccaneers (vs. 49ers), noon

Sunday The Bucs are on a nice little roll, but we expect that to end against one of the NFL’s best defenses.

Worth a look: Vincent Jackson* Last resort: Matt Glennon, Bobby Rainey, Tampa defense, Timothy Wright Avoid: Brian Leonard, Rian Lindell Patriots (at Dolphins), noon Sunday We are recommending a cautious approach with New England this week. Tom Brady struggled before Rob Gronkowski’s return. Without the big tight end, their production may regress.

Solid Plays: Shane Vereen, Stephen Gostkowski Worth a look: New England defense, Tom Brady Last resort: LeGarrette Blount, Stevan Ridley, Danny Amendola, Julian Edelman

Devonte Jones encounters a host of Wheaton College tacklers in an Oct. 26 game. This season Jones, a Bolingbrook graduate, became just the third Illinois Wesleyan University running back to top 1,000 yards.

Devonte Jones goes out on high note SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

BLOOMINGTON – Former Bolingbrook football player Devonte Jones closed out his college career at Illinois Wesleyan University in stellar fashion this fall.

The 5-foot-9, 200-pound running back became only the third Titans player in program history to rush for 1,000

yards in a season. Jones finished the 2013 campaign with 1,035 yards on 179 carries in 11 games, ranking him second all-time. Kurt Swearingen set the school record of 1,079 yards in 1977.

Jones did set an Illinois Wesleyan single-season record with 604 kick return yards, averaging 30.2 yards per attempt. He rattled off a

91-yard kickoff return in the season opener against Aurora.

He also added 11 catches for 74 yards and a score and finished the year with nine total touchdowns.

The top individual game effort for the senior came against Millikin, where he compiled 226 yards and three touchdowns on 35 carries. He

also totaled 166 yards and two scores against North Park and went over the 100-yard plateau against both Aurora and Alma College.

For his accomplishments, Jones was selected as the Most Valuable Player on offense for the Titans. He also was named to the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin all-conference first team.

On Monday, Jones was also picked to the 2013 AllNorth Region Second Team

by D3football.com.

As a junior, Jones gained 455 yards on 100 carries to go along with six touchdowns.

Illinois Wesleyan finished the year with a record of 9-2, losing 41-7 to Wartburg in the opening round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.

very encouraging sign.”

Brost also applauded the play of senior guard Prentiss Nixon, who totaled 20 points while shooting a tidy 7-of-10 from the field.

The Raiders’ most dynamic scorer through five games, Nixon lit up Joliet Central for 13 points in the first quarter.

Shakur Triplet added 12 points and nine rebounds for Bolingbrook.

Following the win, Brost also noted that senior center Kenny Williams, who is coming off of knee injury, has been cleared by doctors and will return to practice on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-6-inch Williams is expected to play in his first game in the next couple of weeks.

Bolingbrook hosted Glenbard West on Tuesday night.

The Raiders are back in action at home at 7 p.m. Friday against SWSB foe Joliet West.

After a sparse schedule to begin the regular season, the Bolingbrook’s basketball team will pick up the pace with three road games in five days.

The Raiders play conference foe Joliet Central Thursday, and will then travel to Chicago to play Crete-Monee during the Chitown Showdown Shootout.

They team will return to conference action Monday when it takes on Joliet West..

Bolingbrook (1-1) isn’t scheduled to play a home game until Jan. 7.

Benet quarterback Beneventi picks Iowa SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA GLEN ELLYN – Benet junior quarterback Jack Beneventi verbally committed to the University of Iowa Thursday night.

The 6-foot6, 190-pound G l e n E l l y n Jack r e s i d e n t a n - Beneventi nounced his intent via Twitter at 7:01

p.m. Thursday. He chose the Hawkeyes over offers from several schools, including Illinois, Notre Dame, Louisville, and Western Michigan.

“I have committed to the University of Iowa!” Beneventi Tweeted. “I want to thank everyone for their support.”

Although 2014 football signing day is about two months away, Beneventi came to a decision after visiting multiple college campuses this fall.

The pro-style pocket pass-

er will start his third straight season under center for Benet next fall before graduating in 2015.

As a sophomore, Beneventi led the Redwings to a 11-2 record and a trip to the 7A state semifinals. This season, he threw for roughly 1,400 yards, but the team faltered down the stretch and lost their final four games.

In the weeks leading up to his announcement, Beneventi narrowed his selection to Iowa and Illinois.

Benet’s Emily Eshoo is guarded by Hinsdale Central’s Gabby Rush as she drives to the basket in the Redwings’ road win Dec. 5.

Benet boys, girls hoops off hot starts SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LISLE – Benet’s boys basketball team started the season strong and continued that trend over the weekend.

After winning four games by double digits at the Hoops for Healing Tournament during the Thanksgiving weekend, the Redwings took on Redondo Union High School (Calif.) and won 55-46 Saturday. The game took place at the UIC Pavilion as part of the Chicago Elite Classic.

The Redwings improved to 5-0 on the year by overcoming a 21-19 halftime deficit and riding a strong second half to victory.

Liam Nelligan knocked down a 3-pointer with 6:30 left in the fourth quarter to break a 35-35 tie. On Benet’s next possession, Josh Yesufu hit a basket to push the Redwings’ lead to five as the team went on a 20-11 run to close out the game.

Benet hosted its first home game of the season on Tuesday against Plainfield North. The team will hit the road again Saturday to play against Fenwick at St. Viator as part of the Chicago Catholic League/East Suburban Catholic League Challenge.

The Redwings will participate in the Proviso West Holiday Tournament but won’t play at home again until a Jan. 7,

2014, meeting with Larkin.

At the start of the season, the Redwings won all four Hoops for Healing games by double digits, defeating Naperville North, Oswego East and Neuqua Valley to set up a title tilt with Naperville Central.

It was all Benet during the championship game, as four Redwings scored in double figures and three had at least 15 points in a 71-47 win.

Center Sean O’Mara led the way, recording a game-high 21 points and 15 rebounds. Nelligan added 16 points and seven rebounds, while Colin Bonnett had 15 points and Yesufu tallied 11 points.

Benet girls basketball

Emily Eshoo’s 29 points led a potent Benet attack as the Redwings defeated Hinsdale Central 65-55 on Saturday.

Eshoo hit three 3-pointers and swiped a trio of steals to help Benet jump out to a 30-25 halftime lead. The Redwings started the second quarter going 7-of-8 from the field to push their advantage to 47-33.

Benet will now enjoy an extended home stand. The Redwings hosted Plainfield North Tuesday before starting play in the Benet/Naperville North Tournament that runs through Dec. 21. In the middle of the tourney run, Benet will host powerhouse Fenwick at 7 p.m. Dec. 17.

BOLINGBROOK – In spite of some imperfections, Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team keeps winning.

The Raiders eked out a 59-51 victory over Joliet Central on Friday in what was the SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference opener for both teams. The defeat was the first of the season for Joliet Central, who entered the match on a five-game winning streak.

Bolingbrook (4-1, 1-0 SWSB) came out on top even though the team committed 21 turnovers – a recurring issue that has drawn the ire of head coach Rob Brost in the first three weeks of the season.

“We were careless with the ball again on Friday,” Brost said. “We need to be more efficient with the ball.

If we keep giving good teams easy buckets off turnovers, it will soon come back to hurt us.

“But the sign of a great team is being able to win when you are not at your best – especially when facing good competition like Joliet Central. So that is a

“But the sign of a great team is being able to win when you are not at your best – especially when facing good competition like Joliet Central. So that is a very encouraging sign.”
