Hanging with ‘Santa Claws’

Cloudy waters ahead in battle for IAW pipeline By ALEX SOULIER

asoulier@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – The Northern Will County Water Agency briefly held a quarterly meeting on Dec. 9, approving expenditures and digging its heels in for an expected legal battle as it attempts to take over a privately owned water pipeline. Entrenched in an ongoing struggle to gain control of the 30-mile Bedford Park transmission pipeline from the privately held company Illinois American Water, the agency

approved $80,000 in legal and engineering fees during a 10-minute public meeting on Dec. 9. During the previous quarterly meeting in September, the agency heads approved a $662,500 budget, $521,000 of which was covered by Bolingbrook. Comprised of Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Lemont, Homer Glen and Woodridge, the Northern Will County Water Agency was formed in order to purchase and take over the pipeline, which distributes water to some if not many

of the residences in the five towns. Last January, the agency filed an eminent domain lawsuit after Illinois American Water refused the agency’s offer of $37.5 million to purchase the pipeline. The agency has accused the company of hiking rates for profit during the last decade, and if the eminent domain is granted, the governing bodies have the power to seize private property without the owner’s consent. However, the eminent case is not expected to go to court

until 2014 or early 2015. At the Dec. 9 meeting, Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar prepared residents for an even lengthier legal battle once it does reach the courts. “It is going to be a slow process,” Claar said. “But that’s what you have when you have an unwilling seller.” Representatives of Illinois American Water declined comment on the status of the legal proceedings, but IAW Senior Manager of Field Services and Production Michael Smyth hypothesized that the longer the eminent domain case takes, the more money it will cost the agency and the taxpayers it represents. “Agency expenditures since June of 2012 could reach over a million dollars by next year,” Smyth said. Smyth also countered stating that the agency has yet to specifically detail how they

will lower residents’ water bills. “We have heard over and over again from our customers about their desire for a plan from their elected officials, yet no plan has been offered by Agency members,” Smyth said. “They continue to spend taxpayer dollars which is an absolute disservice to our customers and the residents of the water agency communities.” Bolingbrook, which has shouldered 80 percent of the approved expenditures, is also “exploring” a seizure of the local infrastructure that comes from the main pipeline. It too is owned by IAW. The process will begin once Bolingbrook receives financial and infrastructural information from Illinois American Water, according to Bolingbrook Village Attorney Jim Boan.

Jury convicts Bolingbrook man of sex trafficking “This was not a business relationship, but a relationship between predator and prey.”

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BOLINGBROOK – A federal jury convicted a Bolingbrook man of running a sex trafficking ring that forced into prostitution at least four victims, including a minor who was 17 at the time. McKenzie Carson, 41, was found guilty Thursday on one count of sex trafficking a minor by force, fraud and coercion, and three counts of sex

you they were frightened for their lives.” Carson has remained in federal custody without bond since he was arrested on Jan. 3, 2012. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life imprisonment on each count. No sentencing date was immediately set but U.S. District Judge Elaine Bucklo scheduled a status hearing for May 2, 2014.

BOLINGBROOK – A Lombard man is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly ramming a police car in a domestic dispute outside his girlfriend’s home in Bolingbrook. Erik M. Granillo, 30, of 52 W. Anne St., was charged with attempted murder, fleeing and eluding, assault, aggravated battery, driving under the influence and criminal damage to state supported property, according to Bolingbrook police. The incident allegedly began when police responded to a domestic disturbance around 8:45 p.m. Dec. 11 in the 300 block of Lakeside Drive, where Granillo attempted to enter the residence of his 23-year-old girlfriend, police said. When she refused and called police, Granillo left the area in his silver Ford Focus before fleeing an attempted traffic stop onto Interstate

355, police said. Granillo then allegedly contacted the victim and told her that he was on his way back to her residence with a gun and he was going to shoot the victim and any police, police said. A short time later, a Bolingbrook officer at the front door of the residence observed Granillo, driving at a high rate of speed, deliberately crash into the front of the unoccupied squad car, according to police. Police said Granillo believed the squad car was occupied by an officer. Granillo then exited his vehicle, officers attempted to arrest him and then deployed a Taser when he fought with officers, police said. Two officers were treated and released for non-life threatening injuries. The squad car suffered extensive damage, police said. Granillo was processed and transported to Will County Adult Detention Facility.

Resident to perform in sketch comedy festival By ED McMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Comedian Jake Dewar’s improv training at Second City has helped him hone his craft as a comedian and actor, but he said the positive effects are probably even more noticeable off-stage. “I’m kind of more aware of human behavior in general,” said Dewar, 26. “It really heightened my listening. I probably would not be dating the woman I’m Jake Dewar dating right now without improvisation.” Dewar grew up in Downers Grove, watching Monty Python and Laurel & Hardy. By 17 he was making his own comedy CDs for friends. And around that time he started to teach himself piano, and then guitar, the latter of which has become a regular part of his stage performances. Dewar will bring his new material to the stage during a solo show at the 13th annual Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival Jan. 9-19 at Stage 773, 1225 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago. He will perform at 2 p.m. Jan. 19 in the cabaret theater. It’s the largest sketch comedy festival in the country. About 150 groups comprising about 1,000 artists will perform 170 shows in eight days to an average of 10,000 patrons. He said his Second City training last year led him to change how he writes his comedy sketches. Before, it usually began at a table with a blank sheet of paper and a pen. Now the

WHAT: The 13th annual Chicago Sketch Festival WHEN: Jan. 9-19 Jake Dewar will perform at 2 p.m. Jan. 19 in the cabaret theatre of Stage 773, 1225 W. Belmont Ave. TICKETS: $14 on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays and $15 on Saturdays Tickets purchased before Dec. 31 receive a $2 discount and may be purchased at www.Stage773.com, by phone at 773-327-5252 and in person at the Stage 773 box office, 1225 W. Belmont Ave. sketch creation process is all improv-based. He records both his solo and group improv performances, and then sorts through the footage for germs of ideas and connections. The themes that continued to appear in the improv footage are topics that hit close to home for a lot of people in their 20s, he said. “I’m surrounded by a lot of people who feel like they’re in a race to get somewhere or don’t feel like they know where they are going,” he said. “A lot of them are worried about careers, or if they’re going to [find] someone.” Dewar approaches those heavier topics with a sense of playfulness, and the occasional silliness for silliness’ sake, he said. But while he’s working for laughs, he often wants to make a point, too. Short term, the goal is simple, get as good as he can be on stage, he said. Longer term – getting hired at the Second City. “There isn’t a formula,” he said. “I just have to keep doing the work that I’m proud of, and hopefully the rest will come.”

Restaurant reviews

The Chew Chew tracks all the right notes RIVERSIDE – There are restaurants and then there are neighborhood institutions. The Chew Chew in Riverside is the latter. On a recent night, The Chew Chew was full of locals: a gathering of schoolteachers, buddies grabbing a burger and catching a Bulls game, and even a village official out for a quiet dinner with his wife. The presence of locals at The Chew Chew is unsurprising, because if you ask anyone in Riverside where to head for dinner, this place makes the list. The Chew Chew serves the community in multiple contexts. The menu references awards for best neighborhood joint; food-focused social media websites rate it highly as a spot for locals and visitors alike; and the restaurant regularly gives generously to local causes and nonprofits. Just like Riverside itself, The Chew Chew is full of history and local mythology, and is, in a word: classic. That’s not bad for a place founded in 1996. But enough about all that; let’s talk food. The Chew Chew’s menu strikes a nice balance between bar food and a higher end steakhouse. An $11 burger sits comfortably on the menu next to mid-priced pasta dishes, $30 steaks and rotating market fish. But with a twist, the menu also offers items not regularly seen on suburban menus, such as escargot, pate and zucchini pickles. To get started, I ordered baked onion soup and one of the night’s specials: duck pate on crostini (toast) with pickled onion and crumbled, hard-boiled egg. The soup arrived first – hot, but not boiling – with a crispy layer of Swiss cheese sitting atop croutons floating on pure onion goodness. On a frigid night, it was the perfect first course to beat the chill; a good balance of broth and onion – hearty without being heavy. About the time I was fin-

Stumped for a gift idea?

Give the power to change the world

(BPT) - Every year, office or classroom gift exchanges, thank you tokens for service providers, and last-minute items for acquaintances that drop in unannounced leave many Americans wrestling with a burning question: What can you give for $25 (the ubiquitous price point for this type of gifting)? How about the chance to help change the world? Microlending is the practice of making small loans to entrepreneurs in developing countries. The borrowers use the money - as little as $25 - to expand their businesses, educate their families and improve their communities. Now, it’s possible to give everyone on your list a gift card that will allow them to make such a loan. For roughly the price of a designer scented candle, you can give someone the chance to make a tangible, quantifiable, powerful difference in the life of people around the world. How it works By going to www.kiva.org/gifts, you can choose an amount, purchase a Kiva Card and select the delivery option that works best for you. Print it yourself and keep some cards on hand for drop-in guests. Or, send it via Facebook, email or U.S post to recipients anywhere in the world. Recipients redeem the Kiva Card at Kiva.org by selecting the specific borrower who will receive the loan. The website provides detailed information about each borrower and how he or she will use the loan to build their business and create opportunity for their families and communities. It’s possible to find borrowers who appeal to the passions of virtually every gift recipient. If your giftee is a foodie, perhaps she’ll choose to give her loan to a beekeeper in Kenya or organic coffee farmer in Mexico. If the card recipient believes in promoting green energy, he may choose as his

beneﬁciary an entrepreneur who brings solar power to a region of Tanzania where there is no electricity. Have an art or craft fan on your gift list? He or she may choose to lend to a weaver who supports his family and preserves an ancient art form through the products he weaves and sells. The gift that can truly keep on giving The beneﬁt of a Kiva Card doesn’t end with the satisfaction of having helped others. Kiva borrowers have an impressive repayment rate of nearly 99 percent. Neither the lender nor Kiva makes any money

from the loan. Once the borrower repays the $25 loan , your gift recipients can either reclaim the cash value of the card to spend on a gift for themselves, or they can opt to reinvest the money and make a new loan through Kiva. As they relend their money to another borrower on Kiva, your initial gift of $25 has the potential impact of hundreds of dollars. The recipient could continue to reap the spiritual rewards of giving for years after receiving your initial gift. To learn more, or to start giving Kiva Cards, visit www.kiva.org/gifts.

Ways your family can give back to the community, country and world this holiday

(BPT) - The holiday season is a time when people are looking to give back. Sometimes this giving back encompasses spending time with others in the community, and other times it is showing support for programs that give back across the world. Families can get involved in giving back this holiday season in many ways, involving all members - from your newborn to great grandma. Here’s how: * Support companies that give back. Families with infants and toddlers may not realize that the Bumbo products they purchase not only solve every day parenting challenges, but they also give back to children in need. In fact, a portion of proceeds from every Bumbo product purchased worldwide supports the underprivileged and special needs children in the company’s hometown of Pretoria, South Africa. Since

2005, the company has donated more than $10 million back to the local community through the Bumbo Cares non-proﬁt program, providing food, shelter and education for more than 1,200 South African children. Products that give back include the Bumbo Floor Seat and accessories - the perfect ﬁrst seat for babies; the Booster Seat, Step Stool and Toilet Trainer. You can learn more about how Bumbo helps the children of Pretoria at www.BumboUSA.com/BumboCares. * Organize a collection drive. Children love to help other children, and they can do that by participating in a drive. If there isn’t a clothing or food drive already happening in your neighborhood, consider organizing one yourself. Find an organization in your community that helps children and ask what donations are needed. Advertise when you’ll be holding the drive with letters

or postcards to neighbors. On the day of the drive, help your children and their friends collect the donations, and then take everyone with you to deliver the donations to the organization. Take a photo of the drop off and submit it to the community paper to commemorate the work the youths put into the effort. * Participate in a community kitchen, clean-up or build. These are activities everyone in the family can participate in. Contact your local government office to find out when the next community clean-up day is scheduled. If you have younger children, ask to be assigned to a park or quiet road. And if you have older children who are able to participate in a community kitchen or build project, consider donating your time there. It will be a project they can reflect upon years

later - reminding them how they cared and contributed back this holiday season. * Visit those who are homebound during the holidays. Sometimes the best way a family can give back is by visiting those who aren’t able to get out of the home very easily. Contact a local nursing home or your religious center to ask if your family can sing holiday carols, bring treats or just come over for a talk. All it takes is a bit of time, which often is a great way to give back. As your family gets ready to celebrate the holidays this year, remember these tips of lending a hand, organizing a drive or supporting companies, like Bumbo, that give back. There are always opportunities where your entire family can pitch in to help the neighborhood, community, country and world.

Gifts for foodies guaranteed to leave taste buds dancing

(BPT) - Between the growing trends of boutique restaurants, creative home cooking and entire television networks dedicated to food, you probably know a few people who consider themselves “foodies.” Whether they love craft beer, decadent chocolate treats or gourmet cheeses, you can ﬁnd many great gift ideas for people passionate about food and drink. Make their holiday extra bright by indulging their interests and exploring some of these top trends in food-related gifts.

Himalayan salt

Himalayan salt is a trendy and truly unique gift for salt lovers and gourmets. The hard mineral composition means this particular type of salt can be carved into a variety of useful items, such as a Himalayan salt block ideal for serving warm grilled meats or chilled for serving sushi. Gourmet chefs at home can infuse food and drink with a subtle hint of mineral-rich salt, adding a unique layer of ﬂavor. Himalayan salt is also touted as a healthy, natural source of sodium by many health experts.

Personalized stoneware

Winter days call for warm baked goods, whether it’s a classic casserole or rich homemade pie. Cooks and bakers love to personalize dishes with updated versions of classic recipes, adding herbs and spices for extra ﬂare. And when that dish is cooked in customized stoneware, there’s no mistaking who created the culinary masterpiece. Personalized stoneware is gaining popularity; by adding a name or special message, you’re giving a gift that’s truly one of a kind.

Sweet and salty treats

Flavor fusion is featured in some of the nation’s most popular restaurants, but home chefs are enjoying these taste mash-ups, too. One classic blend that has been gaining popularity is salty and sweet combos. Gift ideas that feature this ultimate mix include gourmet dipped pretzel rods in various types of chocolate. Sea-salt adorned confections are another popular option - look for caramels and trufﬂes sprinkled with sparkling sea salt for the perfect salty and sweet pairing.

Glass sets for beer aﬁcionados

It’s ofﬁcial - the craft beer movement is

here to stay. There are more breweries in the U.S. than ever before, and beer connoisseurs are even picky about the mug they drink it in. Craft beer enthusiasts know that one of the best ways to enhance your drink is to use the correct glass. Glass sets make great gifts that are not only useful, but can serve as a beautiful display in a bar or kitchen when not in use. For example, beer lovers will enjoy a multiple glass beer tasting set. Be sure it includes glasses like a hand mug for light ales, footed glass for wheat beers and pale lagers, and an English pub glass for dark English ales.

Gourmet goodies

Unique gourmet treats are sure to impress even the most reﬁned palate. From handdipped Champagne strawberries from Shari’s Berries, to gourmet caramel apples and cake pops, tantalizing temptations appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth. Gourmet popcorn and fruit baskets make great gifts for food lovers too, and combining a few special treats in a gift basket is a fun way to present their favorites.

Made in the USA

Things made in the USA embrace the idea of “home is where the heart is,” while providing quality goods that last the test of time. Patronize boutiques that feature local artisans, or when shopping online, look for the location where the item was created. For example, RedEnvelope’s animal wood cutting board comes in pig, cow, rooster and chicken designs - ideal for any chef all made in the USA.

Grill mania

Both men and women are reﬁning their grilling skills by cooking dishes in their favorite barbecue style - and winter isn’t stopping them. Indulge their passion with a grilling gift that features some of today’s top spices and sauces. Trending spices of the year include turmeric, juniper, smoked paprika and galangal, a Thai ginger. Does your favorite griller like some heat? Add in some Sriracha or Korean chili paste for that spicy kick foodies are looking for. Cheer your favorite foodie with a gift that’s sure to please. These top trends in food- and drink-related gifts will stand out from the others under the tree.

Get crafty with edible holiday appetizers (BPT) - Don’t worry, Mom. In this case, it’s OK to play with your food. The latest online social media craze features awe-inspiring galleries of edible art, showcasing everyday ingredients transformed into munchable holiday masterpieces. This season, whether you’re looking to revamp the relish tray or simply keep the kids occupied with a fun project, a few holiday-friendly staples are all you need to let your creativity take ﬂight. Take, for instance, California black ripe olives. Known for their versatility and mild ﬂavor, black olives are a party favorite for a reason. And with 95 percent of the nation’s ripe olives grown on family farms in California, they’re a truly all-American ingredient, too. They’re also the perfect building block for edible holiday treats. Get in on the fun with an easy and adorable-to-look-at recipe that uses black olives, cream cheese, pretzels and a few other common ingredients to create an unforgettable herd of holiday cheer. In fact, this is one reindeer game anyone can play. For more holiday recipe ideas featuring California ripe olives, visit www.calolive.org. California Olive Reindeer Makes 8 reindeer

Supplies: 2- 4 Won ton wrappers Cooking spray 2 Sandwich-sized reclosable plastic bags 4 ounces cream cheese Scissors 8 colossal California Black Ripe Olives 8 large California Black Ripe Olives 1 bamboo skewer 16 pretzel sticks Paring knife Tiny pieces of carrot and raisins Powdered sugar (optional) Kale (optional) Mushrooms (optional)

Directions: With a small, sharp knife, cut wonton wrappers into “antlers.” Place on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes at 350 F, or until lightly browned. Place cream cheese into two sandwich-sized reclosable bags. Snip 1/8-inch off the corner of one and 1/16-inch off the second. With the bag and the 1/8-inch hole, squeeze cream cheese into colossal olives. Using a bamboo skewer, make a hole in the large olives. Break a pretzel stick in half and press into hole and into colossal olive. Press together to form the head. Make four holes in the colossal olive with a bamboo skewer and push four broken pretzel sticks in to form legs. Squeeze cream cheese with the small-hole to form eyes. Make tiny slits with a paring knife in the top of the head and insert wonton antlers. Make a hole in the large olive (head) and insert a small sliver of carrot for the nose. Use a small piece of raisin to create pupils. To create a winter setting, dust kale leaves with powdered sugar and snip the tops off mushrooms to simulate large boulders.

How to have a high-tech holiday without the high price

(BPT) - Have a holly, jolly, high-tech holiday - and in case you didn’t hear - it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Some of the season’s hottest tech gifts are more affordable than ever this year. Spending on consumer electronics this holiday season is expected to grow 2.6 percent, according to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), with three quarters of American gifters planning to purchase tech gadgets. Big screen TVs continue to be on consumers’ top wish-lists. In fact, a nationwide survey conducted for LG Electronics USA found that about six in 10 (58 percent) said they are likely to consider giving a TV as a gift. Surprisingly, more than half of respondents (52 percent) said they’d prefer to receive an 84-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart TV (roughly $17,000) over an expensive piece of jewelry or watch (23 percent). More consumers also said they’d like to receive a $2,300 Internet connected “smart” TV than a European vacation. For more budget-minded Santas, here are ﬁve tech gift ideas with big appeal and big value. Just imagine how your teen, college student, parent or best friend will react when they open up one of these: 1. Dual docking speaker For the music lover in your life, few things beat a great speaker system. A Dual Docking Speaker system allows anyone to get the most out of a music collection with impressive style, design and functionality. A Dual Docking speaker like LG’s ND5630 is compatible with iPod, iPhone and Android

in-ear headphones - are convenient for listening to music or other audio in private, but just because they are small doesn’t mean they shouldn’t produce quality sound. Starting at about $50 you can give highend earbuds with noticeably better sound capabilities. This is one gift that is sure to be used over and over again. 4. Smart/3D Blu-ray disc player Know someone who loves movies? Some Smart Blu-ray Disc players can play DVDs, and 2D or 3D Blu-ray discs. They can also stream content like movies from Netﬂix or Hulu Plus or videos from YouTube - especially great if that special person on your shopping list isn’t ready to upgrade to a smart TV yet. You can get one from LG (BP530) as little as $100 at some online retailers.

and also boasts built-in Wi-Fi, so it’s simple to stream music via Airplay or Bluetooth. You can even charge one device while playing another. At a suggested price of $249, you get a lot of holiday bang for your buck. 2. Ultra-wide monitor Gamers and geeks alike will light up when they open a modern ultra-wide monitor that brings cyberspace to life. With a 21:9 aspect ratio screen (2560-by-1080presolution), these new monitors produce a theater-like experience when playing games or watching your favorite movies. The dual link-up feature allows the monitor to display two source devices at once. For example, any combination of two devices, such as

computers, cameras, smartphones or Bluray players can be connected to the monitor and displayed on a single screen simultaneously. One of the most popular ultra-wide monitors, the LN450W from LG is both PC and Mac compatible, has a built-in tuner so it can be used as a TV and you can get it for $649 or less at some online retailers. 3. Earbuds Is one of your loved ones still rocking the factory earbuds that originally came with his smartphone or MP3 player? It’s time to gift them a better listening experience. Earbuds and headphones will be the most popular consumer electronics devices given his holiday season, CEA says. Earbuds - tiny

5. Tablets and accessories Some tablets come with outrageous price tags, but every month new models become available, many of which are surprisingly affordable. CEA says tablets are at the top of adult’s wish lists this holiday season. You can ﬁnd options for $200 or less that include a quality processor, impressive battery life and considerable data storage. Compare to save and don’t be afraid to shop the sales. Does your special someone already have a beloved tablet? You can’t go wrong by gifting accessories like attachable keyboards and decorative protective covers. This holiday you don’t have to choose between giving high tech gifts and saving money. You can have both and impress your loved ones with the best tech gifts of 2013.

Moms champion traditional toys even in a digital age (BPT) - As smartphones and tablets are more frequently ﬁnding their way into kids’ hands, many parents may wonder about the implications of increased screen time, and question what role traditional toys should play in their children’s lives. While there is no denying the beneﬁts of digital devices and it is becoming commonplace for parents to pass their tablets to Junior, research shows many want to limit the time their kids spend on screens, large and small. Parents also actively encourage their kids to play with toys that may help them reach critical developmental milestones. So how have traditional toys stood the test of time? The various ways in which children play have remained largely unchanged throughout time. In many cases, technology can help amplify play by helping to introduce characters or tell a compelling story. When Mattel, the world’s largest toymaker, asked moms their opinions about toys and technology, it found that even in a digital age, moms continue to place a high value on traditional toys. “Kids today are digital natives and are immersed in digital experiences,” says Dr. Michael Shore, vice president of Global Consumer Insights for Mattel. “However, when you walk into a child’s room and see what is visibly present and displayed on the shelves, you won’t see an app on the wall as an expression of who the child is, what he or she loves, or as markers of the childhood experience. For that, toys will continue to endure as ideal gifts for children. After all, you

can’t wrap an app.” However, as experts and media debate whether digital devices will one day replace dolls, cars, trains and action figures, most moms do not think smart digital devices and traditional toys directly compete with one another as a source of kids’ entertainment. Rather, each category remains fundamentally different. While 75 percent of kids today play with devices like smartphones and tablets, Mattel’s research found the time they spend with these devices actually competes with the time they spend with other screens, such as televisions and computers. In fact, 59 percent of moms felt that smart portable devices will one day replace other electronic devices, not traditional toys. According to Mattel’s findings, moms frequently associate toys with social activities since toys are often used to play with others, whereas digital devices are generally associated with solo play (for example, keeping a child entertained when waiting at the doctor’s office or on a long car ride). Moms also credit toys with providing opportunities for active play that allow kids to exercise and burn off energy. Further, moms see toys as a great way to help kids spark their imaginations and flex their creative muscles. Knowing that the leaders of tomorrow will be those who think differently and solve problems in new ways, imagination is more important than ever before. Dr. Shore offers some tips for using play as a catalyst for fostering imagination and creativity:

Make sure your kids have time to play. In an increasingly overscheduled world with a variety of things competing for kids’ time, it is easy to overlook the importance of dedicating time just for play. Give your child the time and space to play, and watch his or her imagination soar. Provide a safe place to play and tools for play. Consider starting a play group in your neighborhood or hosting play dates at your home or local playground. Bring out the toy chest and see what games the kids can create when they play together. Encourage your kids to play with all that’s available - including their imaginations. Two of the most important tools for play are toys and an imagination. Help your children dream beyond what they see on screen and encourage them to bring those cartoon characters to life using their toys and imaginations. Get involved and play with your kids. Don’t forget that play is good for grown-ups too. Everyone loves a good old-fashioned tea party or toy car race down the hall. Playing together is one of the most fun and meaningful ways for parents and children to bond and foster creative thinking for both of you.

 1. Essential oils can make your home more beautiful. An inviting, coordinated scent is as important to the look and ambience of your home as the color, finishes and furnishings you choose.  2. Essential oils are the perfect holiday home decoration. Scent is an inspired enhancement to your holiday home. Essential oils come from plants such as balsam fir boughs, fresh pine needles, peppermint leaves, cinnamon bark, vanilla beans and clove buds. Or, seek out pure, natural products like Aura Cacia’s Uplifting Candy Cane room spray, crafted with essential oil of peppermint and the essence of real vanilla beans.  3. Essential oils can make you happy in your home. Use scent to boost your mood when the post-holiday letdown, colder temperatures and the dwindling daylight of winter set in.  4. Essential oils can make your home healthier. Instead of reaching for a bottle of that blue stuff that smells like - well, window cleaner - try making your own glass cleaner from four tablespoons of vinegar and 12 drops of lemon essential oil.  5. Essential oils can help you sell your home. An atmosphere scented with natural essential oils is more appealing to buyers than a cloyingly sweet artificial scent and may be the subtle trick you need to boost a sale.

end of unwanted or simply unneeded gifts, why not donate them to someone else? Many organizations accept donations, including clothing and other belongings year-round. Consider donating that extra toiletries set, scarf or books to charity to clean up some clutter and help brighten someone else’s day. Put cleaning staples to work: You may think you need different cleaning products for different jobs, but just one classic cleaning product - Clorox Regular-Bleach - can tackle more messes than you think from laundry to helping sanitize and disinfect countertops, dishes and everything in between. For example, you can even use bleach to kill odor-causing bacteria left in your refrigerator after that big family meal and leave it smelling fresh and clean. Remove food from the fridge and wash the surfaces with a solution of 1/2 cup Clorox Regular-Bleach per gallon of soapy water. Let it stand for ﬁve minutes, rinse and then air dry for a few minutes before replacing the food. For more uses, visit www.BleachItAway.com. Organize holiday decorations: Before putting away decorations, invest

in better organization and storage materials. It may take a few more minutes to put away lights if they are wrapped around a spool, but consider how much faster it will be to hang them next year. By spending a few extra minutes this year, you will save yourself the stress in the future. In addition to these tips, remember to embrace the funny moments that come along with the mess. No matter what you’re celebrating this holiday season, no one is immune to messes, and the holidays are rife with them from dinnertime spills to that family member who enjoyed a bit too much eggnog. Instead of letting the messes get you down, take a moment to step back and enjoy the happiness of family visits and the extra time together. But because the messes will happen, remember to laugh at them. You can also share your best holiday messy moment at www.BleachItAway.com for a chance to win $20,000.

(BPT) - The holidays bring plenty of cheer and the arrival of family from all over. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all. But with family visits and hearty meals also comes a big share of messes. After hefty helpings of gravy and chocolates, there will be plenty of cleaning required to get your home back in tip top shape for the new year. It’s enough to leave anyone “holidazed,” but with the right tools and tricks on your side, it does not have to. Here are some tips to help get your home clean again after those pesky holiday messes so all you have to worry about is enjoying the season: Create smaller tasks: Create a master list to help you break down cleaning into manageable chunks. Instead of tackling a full mess in one room, only to start again in the next one, complete the same task in each room. For example, dust every room before hitting them all with the vacuum. With this approach, you’ll see a cleaner home in no time without making too many trips back and forth from the broom closet. Donate unused items: With the holidays come gifts and housewarming presents. If you are on the receiving

Five simple ways to ﬁnd deeper meaning in everyday life traveled to West Africa at the age of 17, and volunteered in a school for blind children. The experience led her to found Samasource, a nonproﬁt organization that helps individuals living in poverty. Janah recalls that “[Volunteering in West Africa] was a time of incredible personal growth and it set me on the path to do what I do.” Whether you choose to help stock a local food shelf, supervise at your children’s school or travel abroad to help build houses for the poor, volunteering is sure to make you feel more connected with the world around you.

1. Reconnect with your passion

Modern life can be very busy with every hour in every day dedicated to some activity. This can take its toll on your body, so it’s important to remember to take care of yourself, even if you’re taking care of others. Find your own way to relax and rejuvenate. This may be spending a few minutes each day balancing the mind and body through stretching and meditation. It might be taking a quiet walk, reading a book or having a cup of tea while journaling. Whatever you prefer, make sure to take “me time” throughout the day.

Did you enjoy painting when you were younger? Have you always wanted to take a photography class? Do you love to travel? It’s important to recognize and nurture those activities you love most so that you’re able to go out and do what you’re great at in the world. New York-based yoga instructor, Tara Stiles has infused her passion and energy into her work as a yoga, meditation and wellness instructor. “Passion is really about going after what you want to achieve in your life,” says Stiles. Whether it’s cooking, writing or gardening, make time for what you enjoy doing, rather than just doing what you have to. Even one hour a week dedicated to your passion will make you feel more centered and grounded.

2. Express your individuality

Individual beliefs and values make us each unique, and you can express those ideals through your fashion and jewelry choices. For example, the new Pandora Essence Collection is more than just a beautiful bracelet. You can select from 24 hand ﬁnished charms, each representing inner-values like faith, love, courage, conﬁdence and wisdom. Each charm slides effortlessly into position on a slender silver bracelet, thanks to three silicone grip stoppers inside each charm. Whether for yourself or a gift for a loved one, the bracelet is the perfect reminder of what’s really important in life.

3. Give back

Volunteering in your community is a great way to connect with others and ﬁnd deeper meaning in the everyday. Leila Janah, a social entrepreneur based in San Francisco,

4. Find “me time”

5. Be an ambassador for your beliefs

What truly ignites your soul? It may be your passion for green living, healthy eating or your faith. Whatever your beliefs, it’s important to show the world who you are and what you believe in. Penelope Jagessar Chaffer, an award-winning filmmaker, shares her beliefs and connects with others through her work. “I’m always trying to find that common thread between myself and someone else when I’m interviewing them,” Chaffer says. “I find that love, and talking about love, is this thing we can use to help connect us.” Talk about your beliefs and values with others; you might be surprised by what you find. Rather than getting swept away in a hectic schedule, try focusing on what truly matters to you. These simple ways to add meaning to your life will help you reconnect with yourself and with those around you.

Expect a shootout when Bears face Eagles Hub Arkush

Why does it feel like the Browns were the Bears last exhibition game and now things start for real? Because the Browns are one of the weaker teams in the league this year. With Philadelphia this week and the Packers to close out the season, it’s almost as if the Bears will have to win two playoff games just to get to the playoffs. The Eagles figure to show up angry this Sunday after getting upset at Minnesota last week to snap their five-game win streak and lose the chance to open up a two-game lead in the NFC East. Like the Bears, Philadelphia is 8-6 and vying for first place in their division, but would lose a tiebreaker if they don’t win out. Also like the Bears, they control their own destiny. They play Dallas,

the club that owns the tiebreaker over them, the final Sunday of the year. There’s a very good chance none of that will matter to the team that loses this Sunday night’s prime-time showdown between the Bears and Eagles. In addition to being in a very foul mood, the Eagles still are one of the hottest teams in the league, having won five of their last six and seven of their last 10. They will test the Bears on both sides of the ball. Philadelphia is eighth in the NFL in points scored, second in total offense, 10th throwing the football and – oh no, woe is me – they are first in the league running the ball and in average gain per run. In case you haven’t heard, the Bears are dead last in the league defending the run. LeSean “Shady” McCoy leads the NFL with 269 carries for 1,343 yards, a 5.0 average. He has a long of 57 and seven rushing touchdowns. He leads second-place Adrian Peterson by 122 yards. And for some inexplicable rea-

Therma Tru Doors

son, Eagles coach Chip Kelly elected to give the ball to McCoy just eight times last Sunday in Minnesota while throwing it 48 times, so he should be well-rested. The Eagles offense didn’t take flight until second-year pro Nick Foles was installed at quarterback. He’s now the NFL’s top-rated quarterback with a 117.0 rating, 23 touchdowns and just two interceptions. That ranks him significantly ahead of fellows named Manning, Rodgers, Brady and Brees, to name a few. We beginning to see the potential for trouble here? DeSean Jackson is having an All-Pro season, outpacing Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery with 75 catches for 1,275 yards, a 17.0 average and nine touchdowns. Riley Cooper has become a force as well with 743 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, and rookie Zach Ertz is emerging lately with four touchdowns. Fortunately, the Eagles aren’t near

as impressive on defense, ranking 17th in points allowed and 30th in total defense. The Eagles are 16th against the run and just 31st against the pass. Can anyone spell “shootout?” The Eagles don’t rush the quarterback particularly well, nor do they do a great job protecting Foles, having allowed 39 sacks while notching 32. The Bears, on the other hand, have protected very well, allowing only 24 sacks all year. But they have managed to get to the opposing quarterback only 26 times. Big plays will be huge in this one as well, as the Eagles are seventh in the league at plus 9 in turnover/takeaway ratio, while the Bears are 10th at plus 6. The real difference between these two clubs is that the Eagles can hammer you with the run or pass, while the Bears can run but are more dependent on the pass. The Eagles also are stingier giving up points. Throw in one of the rowdiest home crowds in the NFL, and the Bears have their work cut out for them.

The Lions still are playing for a division title, and they should roll in this game.

Bolingbrook’s Prentiss Nixon drives to the basket during Friday’s home game against Joliet West. Nixon had a big first half to help the Raiders top the Tigers.

Nixon navigates Raiders past Joliet West By ALEX SOULIER

asoulier@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – An offensive outburst from Prentiss Nixon helped the Bolingbrook boys improve their unbeaten conference record on Friday. Three nights after he barely saw the floor during the Raiders’ landslide victory over Glenbard West, the junior guard made his presence felt early on Friday against SouthWest Suburban Blue ri-

val Joliet West, racking up 16 of his team-high 30 points in the first half, and guiding the team to a 85-73 win. Bolingbrook head coach Rob Brost has seen this act from Nixon before, explaining that he continually has shown a knack for dominating stretches of play. “He can score in bunches,” Brost said. “He can shoot, he can pass, he can man our offense. When he plays under control and gets in a zone, Prentiss can be tough to stop.”

With 13 points each from fellow guards Gage Davis and Devon Sams, and eight points from reserve guard Brodric Thomas, the Bolingbrook (51, 2-0 SWSB) backcourt controlled the pace for most of the contest. The Raiders led by 13 points before half, then built a 21-point lead in the third quarter en route to the victory. On Dec. 11, several players pitched in to help the Raiders run away with an 86-54 win

over Glenbard West. Davis paced the offense with 18 points, while Nixon added eight assists and nine points on 3-of-3 shooting from beyond the arc. Sams added 14 points and five assists, and center Shakur Triplett had 12 points and snagged 8 rebounds. “It was a complete team effort,” Brost said. “I thought we did a better job of controlling the tempo and not committing as many turnovers.” On Monday, Triplett, a

6-foot-6 senior power forward, committed to Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa. The Raiders had a big conference game at Stagg on Tuesday night. Stagg entered the game with an 8-0 overall record and 2-0 mark in the SWSB. After playing Stagg, the Raiders will be off until the day after Christmas, when they start play at Rich South’s McDipper Tournament, which runs from Dec. 26 to Dec. 30.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA The holiday season brings with it festive family gatherings, wintry weather, and high school basketball tournaments. Bolingbrook gets set for its annual trek to the south suburbs, while Benet and Downers Grove South are on a collision course at Proviso West.

just three games – all wins – after a trip south for the Tennessee Turkey Jamm for Thanksgiving.

Bolingbrook will open tournament play at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 26 against Queen of Peace, which was winless through nine games to start the season. If the Raiders emerge victorious, they will play the winner of Lockport and Rich Central at 4:30 p.m. the same day. In the quarterfinals, Bolingbrook could meet either T.F. North, Sandburg,

The Redwings will not have to travel much over the holiday break, as the team continues to play at its Benet/Naperville North Tournament this weekend. They

began tournament play with a win over Glenbard West Dec. 12 and carried over some momentum the into the next day when they emerged with a hard fought, 71-61 win over Kenwood.

Former area stars to shine during college bowl season SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA The regular season is done, but college football is far from finished. The postseason bowl games will stretch on for the better part of a month, and a slew of local players will experience bowl games first hand with their college teams.

What to watch: Farinella is the starting place kicker for the Falcons, which won the MAC title. The sophomore has 24 touchbacks on 78 kickoffs and is averaging 60.5 yards per kickoff. After a breakout season during his redshirt freshman campaign in 2011 in which he ran for 211 yards and three touchdowns in a backup role, Martin has since been hampered by a stacked Bowling Green running back corps and a knee injury. He did not take any snaps for Bowling Green this season.

Bowling Green sophomore place kicker Anthony Farinella boots a kickoff during a game against Buffalo University on Nov. 29. Farinella and the Falcons will play Pittsburgh in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl the day after Christmas graduate of Downers Grove South, McGriff-Culver has yet to make an impact on the Cardinals’ stat sheet this season. In two seasons prior, McGriff-Culver accumulated four receptions for 31 yards.
