Gabrielle Walsh’s cellphone wasn’t getting any reception in the Hollywood studio where she was auditioning for a TV show, hoping to land her first big role. So, even though her agents had gotten together for a conference call to tell her the good news, they couldn’t deliver it.

Later in the day, Walsh exited the bathroom at the studio when she got a call from an unknown number.

“I get a call from the hairdresser asking me what’s a good day for me to come in and get my hair done,” Walsh said.

“It was a little frustrating because I knew I couldn’t scream in the studio.”

She screamed with joy as soon as she got in her car, though.

Walsh, a 24-year-old actress from Indian Head Park, landed the lead female role in the new film “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.” The film is the fifth in a series of horror movies that use securi-

Until landing her first role in a movie, Walsh appeared mainly in commercials and short films. She moved to Los Angeles in 2011 shortly after graduating from Northern Illinois University and partnered with an agent, already an accomplishment for such an inexperienced actress. But for several years, she auditioned for part after part – for movies, TV shows, soap operas – and, despite getting plenty of callbacks, never snatched a major role.

“It would come down to her and somebody who’s been in the industry a long time who had much more experience,” her father John Walsh said.

Riverside and school districts 96 and 208 agree on crossing guard costs

By LAUREN HILL msleditorial@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – At the Riverside Village Board’s meeting Dec. 19, trustees approved a resolution between the village, Riverside School District 96 and Riverside-Brookfield Township High School District 208 to collectively fund crossing guards for the districts’ schools, in addition to considering changes to a proposed ordinance regulating a number of village commissions.

The village approved a resolution for the school districts and the village to equally fund six regular school crossing guards and two replacement school crossing guards for the area. District 96 will still need to approve the resolution at their January meeting.

“This was very gratifying,” said Village Manager Peter Scalera. “It’s a new day in terms with our relationship with both [ school districts] 96 and 208. There was an extreme sense of neighborliness and camaraderie and cooperation, so I’m really excited about this.”

Village trustees agreed with the village manager’s comments.

“I think this is a great way for all of the taxing bodies to come together and do what’s best for the community as a whole” Trustee Joseph Ballerine said. “I think we’ve come a long way with this.”

In addition to the crossing guard funding agreement, trustees also considered a proposed ordinance that would regulate several village commissions that oversee the overall look of Riverside.

Proposed amendments for the Landscape Advisory Commission, Preservation Commission, Historical Commission and Economic Development Commission suggested that the Landscape Advisory Commission should be in charge of the landscape of the village and the Preservation Commission should be in charge of the village’s historic structures.

Preservation Commission member Richard Ray brought forward his commission’s concerns that parkways and public lands in Riverside were not defined in the ordinance proposed. He also recommended that the village require a permit process to allow and control what citizens plant that is near public property.

Landscape Advisory Commission (LAC) Chairperson Dianna LaMantia said her commission requested that the board remove public easement. LaMantia said regulating where the public space ends and the private space begins was too erratic in the village and would be too hard to control. The proposed ordi-

nance would remove the business district entirely from the control of the LAC. The LAC recommended that the village define the business district and include that as part of its responsibility to keep continuity in the district’s landscape design.

Trustee Jean Sussman agreed with Ray and LaMantia in that public property needs to be defined and enforced in Riverside.

“If someone plants daffodils from the sidewalk up to their house, nobody does anything about it. It’s a hard thing to enforce because you have to go and measure the easement from the sidewalk to the house,” Sussman said.

She said the board should not remove oversight to the plantings in the parkways and parkways. She was concerned about going from too much oversight to no oversight.

“I know that it was a painful process for certain people in the village to look at benches and drinking fountains and bicycle racks, however, there should be consistency on that and it should resemble the rest of the village and it should resemble what goes on around the water tower and those kinds of areas,” she said.

Trustee Douglas Pollock said there should be design guidelines set up and enforced for these purposes.

RIVERSIDE – More than 650 traffic citations were issued as a result of the Riverside Police Department’s Intensified Enforcement Unit since it was formed in November 2010.

The unit was started to enforce traffic laws near schools but evolved into a collaboration between police and residents resulting in safer streets, according to a police department news release.

Residents provide police with information on areas in need of increased enforcement, either through email,

phone, mail or on the department’s website.

In 2013, the unit targeted three main streets, 15 residential streets, all schools in the village and certain parking areas, resulting in 15 arrests. About 40 percent of citations were for speeding in a residential area.

Schools, speeding and stop signs will be the focus of the unit’s 2014 enforcement, according to the release.

Residents with traffic concerns should email police Sgt. Bill Gutschick at wgutschick@ riverside.il.us or police Sgt. Leo Kotor at lkotor@riverside. il.us.

It’s Your Money

By Linda Sokol Francis, E.A.

THE WORST TAX SCAMS Only have a C.P.A. or E.A. prepare your return!!!

Each year the IRS lists the worst tax scams. Here are some: • Identity theft tops the list, often used to file fake claims for fraudulent refunds. Get IRS help at 800-908-4490.

• Fake charities solicit money after natural disasters.

• Phishing attempts to get personal financial information via e-mail purporting to come from the IRS or banks.

• Fake tax preparers may promise extra-large refunds. Beware any preparer who does not sign your return or include his or her PTIN. • Hiding income offshore to evade U.S. taxes is becoming more difficult as the IRS is getting tougher.

• False or inflated income and expenses to maximize refundable credits. Phony Form 1099 refund claims, too.

• Scams that offer “free money” from the IRS and Social Security.

• Use of shell companies to underreport income, claim phony deductions and other financial crimes.

The teens, students at Riverside Brookfield High School, left the school about 11:30 a.m.

Dec. 19 and observed a UPS truck delivering packages at the residence. They took the packages and placed them in a backpack before heading to a residence in the 100 block of East Burlington Street, according to police.

After the recipient of the packages noticed they were missing and contacted police, officers were able to track shoe impressions from one residence to the other.

Police transported the teens, two 14-year-olds and one 17-year-old, and met with their guardians at the Riverside Police Department, where each teen was charged with misdemeanor theft.

Police Chief Tom Weitzel credited officer’s closing the case to the owner of the packages tracking his items and calling police immediately after finding they were missing.

RIVERSIDE – A 2-year-old German shepherd died Friday at Berwyn Animal Hospital after falling into the Des Plaines River while being walked by its owner.

The dog, who was not on a leash, walked onto ice about 9:20 a.m. behind the Riverside Police Station and then fell into the water. The owner removed his dog from the water, but the dog was motionless on the river bank when Riverside police and fire personnel arrived, according to police reports.

Police transferred the dog to the animal hospital, where it later died.

“My heart goes out to the dog owner for his loss,” Police Chief Thomas Weitzel said in a news release. “I am also a dog owner and can understand the immediate response to want to enter the river and rescue your pet. I would remind residents with an emphasis toward younger children that they are to stay off of the water during the winter months. Th ice appears to be thicker than it is and any amount of weight could cause a human or animal to fall into the river.”

A 2-month-old western lowland gorilla, born Nov. 4 at Brookfield Zoo, spends quality time with her mom, Koola, 18. The notyet-named baby and the rest of the zoo’s gorillas may be seen during regular zoo hours. According to zoo officials, western lowland gorillas are critically endangered because of destruction of their habitat from logging, disease such as the Ebola virus, the illegal pet trade and poaching for bushmeat.

“When she first went out there, I was very skeptical about it,” he said. “It’s a shot in the dark. But she’s done very well.”

Gabrielle Walsh couldn’t reveal much about the movie, but she did offer an overview: Set in Oxnard, Calif., the film follows a young man named Jesse who becomes possessed by strange, unknown forces after investigating the site where a woman died. Jesse’s friends Hector and Marisol (Walsh’ character) struggle to save their friend as he fights the demonic forces gripping him.

Her mother loved to watch scary movies, so Gabrielle Walsh was introduced to them when she was little. But horror isn’t her dad’s favorite genre.

“She hasn’t really been able to tell me too much about the movie,” John Walsh said. “If my daughter wasn’t in it, I don’t think I’d be going to see it.”

But she is, so he is hoping to organize a special viewing at a local theater.

What does John Walsh think about millions of people seeing his daughter on the big screen?

“It’s pretty impressive,” he said. “I’m pretty proud of her.

She’s had a dream, and she’s followed her dream.”

Well, you make an interesting argument that teens need a break, but I don’t agree with you. Sure you think I may sound like someone’s parent, but I am not. I am 33 and I was in your shoes at one point. You should appreciate your parents keeping you busy because work builds character and makes you a responsible individual. It also prepares you for the future. Do you really think when you’re in the working world you will get a Christmas vacation? Sure you might if you have paid time off, but some places may not even allow their employees to use that. Do you think when you graduate high school and college, life will give you a break? No way, it’s like a top 40 radio station – the hits just keep coming and by not getting a break now, you will be prepared for life when it won’t give you a break. The biggest positive to any parents keeping their teens busy is that they won’t do anything stupid such as drugs, alcohol or stealing Christmas decorations from people. If you want a break from chores around the house, consider doing some charity work, now is the time people are in need.

Begin your New Year’s resolutions at the Lyons Public Library A New Year’s resolution is a promise that a person makes to him or herself to start doing something good, or stop doing something bad, on the first day of the new year.

The ancient Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts. The Romans began each year by making COMMUNITY promises to the god Janus, VOICE for whom the month of JanuDan ary is named. In the medieval era, the knights took the Powers “peacock vow” at the end of the Christmas season each year to re-affirm their commitment to chivalry.

Many Christians prepare for the year ahead by praying and making resolutions. There are other religious parallels to this tradition, as well.

During Judaism’s New Year’s celebration, Rosh Hashanah, through the High Holidays and culminating in Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), one is to reflect upon one’s wrongdoings over the year and both seek and offer forgiveness.

People may act similarly during the Catholic fasting period of Lent, though the motive behind this holiday is more of sacrifice than of responsibility.

In fact, the practice of New Year’s resolutions partially came from the Lenten sacrifices. The concept, regardless of creed, is to reflect upon self-improvement annually.

There is no better place to begin turning the thoughts of New Year’s resolutions into realities than at your local public library. Regardless of the path to a better life, your local public library can assist you.

Libraries have books on popular goals such as physical well-being, mental health, financial freedom, career paths, foreign language studies, education ambitions, organization targets, and so on.

Public libraries also contain a variety of magazines on topics such as home improvement, health, travel, foreign affairs, automobiles and more. Public libraries have study areas, computers with Internet access and Microsoft Office tools and a myriad of programs that may be educational, entertaining and both.

Have a happy, healthy, safe and library enriched new year!

Your journey starts here!

Restaurant reviews

Spend an evening in South America at Rio’s ADDISON – One of the joys of living in this melting pot of a nation is that everyone comes here, and they bring their delicacies with them.

I love American, Italian, Mexican, Thai and Japanese cuisine, along with several other varieties I’ve enjoyed over the years. But every once in a while, it’s fun to branch out by tasting something new.

And something new is exactly what I found at Rio’s Fine South American Cuisine in Addison. Billed as a Peruvian restaurant on various websites, Rio’s also has delicacies from Argentina and Brazil that are sure to tempt your taste buds.

When you first walk in, you’re greeted by a bar area that’s tasteful and hip, but not particularly ethnic. You could meet business clients for drinks here and they wouldn’t necessarily even recall that it was a South American establishment – unless they look closely at the wine list, which is filled with selections from all over the continent.

Enter the dining area, though, and you’ll find yourself in a scene that’s both elegant and evocative of the dishes you’re about to sample.

A massive mural across the back wall combines the famous Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks Rio de Janeiro in Brazil with the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru. Other small decor touches give hints of South America without overwhelming the room and making it kitschy.

I stopped by Rio’s on a recent evening with a dining companion, and I started right off with an authentic drink from south of the equator – a Dona Paula Sauvignon Blanc from Argentina, which the wine list describes as “bright, crisp, tart green apple skin, lime zest, guava, and grapefruit with a touch of minerality.” It proved to be a terrific accompaniment to the dishes that followed.

We started with the Peruvian Sampler, wanting to

The sampler includes the ceviche de pescado (a Peruvian specialty), a tamale, anticucho de la pollo (chicken skewer), and papa a la huancaina (a savory sauce over boiled potatoes).

I most enjoyed the flavorful

skewer, while my companion was a big fan of the tamale.

When selecting an entree, I was immediately taken by the bright pictures of every dish on the menu. One item, the Pollo Enrollado, grabbed my attention right away. It fea-

spinach and cheese. The chicken is rolled in “panko” and topped with Algarrobina sauce. I expected something savory and was pleasantly surprised that it was more complex than that.

“It’s got a sweetness to it,” my dining companion

remarked happily after trying a bite.

My companion’s dish was even better, the Tallarin Verde con Churrasco. It included a generous helping of perfectly seasoned steak alongside fettucine mixed with Peruvian pesto (spinach, basil, white cheese, walnuts and olive oil). The steak and the pasta both tasted great on their own, but together the flavors were perfectly paired.

We both really wanted dessert – interesting items included churros filled with caramel and hot chocolate dipping sauce, and ice cream made with Andean Lucuma fruit – but we were both too stuffed to properly enjoy it.

That just means that next time I’ll have to – regretfully – forgo the Peruvian Sampler to save some room to try some exotic ice cream.

Bears’ final loss elicits special kind of hurt

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Losing hurts.

But losing to the Green Bay Packers? In the final minute? To end your season?

That’s a whole ’nother level of sports heartbreak.

And it happened to the Bears. At the hands of the Packers. Again.

No wonder the Soldier Field speakers blared a sad song in the waning moments of the Bears’ 33-28 loss to their oldest rivals. The outcome lifted the Packers into the playoffs as NFC North champions, while the Bears turned to face a painful offseason that could include many difficult personnel changes.

The lyrics filled the ears of stunned fans after the Packers’ game-winning score.

“You had a bad day,”

echoed the song by Daniel Powter. “The camera don’t lie. You’re coming back down, and you don’t really mind. You had a bad day. You had a bad day.”

For the Bears, it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Any football fan will tell you that the line between winning and losing is razor thin. One ill-timed mistake can separate contenders from pretenders in the NFL. That’s why it was tough to see Bears general manager Phil Emery make the rounds in a quiet locker room after the game. One by one, Emery visited with his players, placing an arm on their shoulder and offering some brief words of encouragement.

Some Bears players were so upset that they had not yet removed their pads more than 20 minutes after the

final whistle. Others were so distraught that they leaned forward and braced themselves against their lockers, heads down, eyes shut.

Bears linebacker Lance Briggs wanted to escape.

With his stare fixed on the carpet, he pulled a rolling suitcase and refused to stop and speak with reporters.

Other players spoke softly about narrowly losing a winner-take-all game.

“This is going to hurt,” cornerback Tim Jennings said.

“It’s hard, man” defensive tackle Stephen Paea said.

“We do this for each other.”

On the opposite side of the stadium, Packers players celebrated like happy children.

Some players snapped pictures with their cellphones to capture the moment.

What was it like when the

Masterbrand Cabinetry

Packers first entered the locker room after the game?

“Oh, my God,” defensive lineman Ryan Pickett said. “[We were] just excited, man.

Jumping around. Everybody was happy, man.

“It’s our journey. We made it. Now we get to erase our slate, start a new one, and play ball some more in January.”

So close were the Bears to enjoying this moment.

So close were the Packers to a long, quiet offseason.

“You can describe it a lot better with your writing,” Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk said. “You guys are professionals. I’m not smart enough to really put it into words. I wish I was.

“But it was nuts. It’s been crazy, this whole run.”

As Hawk spoke, the image of Emery visiting with his

players proved hard to shake.

Those players will part ways this week and disperse to their hometowns across the country, and dozens soon might learn that they will not be coming back.

It’s nothing personal.

“This is the NFL,” Paea said. “If you don’t do your job, they make changes.”

Surely, the Packers could empathize as NFL brethren.

Surely, some part of them could feel badly for the Bears.

Right?

“No,” Pickett said with a grin. “There’s not one part of me that feels for the Bears.”

Then he laughed.

It was the deep, belly laugh of a 6-foot-2, 340-pound man.

It was a winners’ laugh.

In the end, Cutler is Cutler sports@nwherald.com

He is who he is.

In the first half, his offense showed the bad as it stalled on four three-and-outs, although it also showed the good.

On his second drive, an eight-play, 80-yard series, Cutler stormed downfield, completing three passes. He topped it off with a 4-yard throw to running back Matt Forte through the cold, misty air, giving his team a 7-0 lead and its only points of the first half.

Cutler couldn’t control much of what happened after that, though.

He couldn’t control Alshon Jeffery fumbling a precise pass in the second quarter, setting up a Green Bay field goal.

He couldn’t control that

the defense allowed 20 second-half points, or that he threw the ball 24 times, the fewest he has attempted in a full game since last December’s Bears-Packers matchup.

Those looking for answers won’t find any, as the quarterback quandary may be delayed another year with a franchise tag estimated to be worth more than $16 million.

On Sunday, Cutler was neither the demon slayer nor the utter failure. He was, simply, Jay Cutler. Calm-tempered, scruffy-faced, strong-armed, up-and-down Jay Cutler.

After the game he stood at the podium, wearing gray and black and a tired gaze.

He answered questions about plays and then the postseason.

“I’d love to (come back),” he said before changing the topic. “[Green Bay] controlled the clock well. Early in the

A reporter picked at the web, asking about contracts.

“I think we’ll deal with that later in the week,” Cutler said. “Right now, [I’m] kind of living in the moment.”

Another reporter asked him how he thought he did against the Packers.

“We didn’t make enough plays to win,” he said. “That’s what it boiled down to.”

After a question about his hoarse throat – he had a cold – there was silence. No more questions.

“All right,” said Cutler.

“See you guys.”

He hustled from the podium and left the room.

CHICAGO – The tangled web of the Jay Cutler narrative was supposed to be straightened out Sunday.

His last game on contract, a 33-28 thriller won by the Packers, was going to make it clear. Play well, Good Jay, forget your 1-7 record against Green Bay, and all is OK. Play poorly, Bad Jay, throw a few picks, and it’s time to go.

“The speculation is, ‘Let’s see how he does in this kind of stage,’ ” coach Marc Trestman said after the game.

“I thought Jay played well enough for us to win tonight.”

But the web twisted even more during the game as fans and media sought the answer to the beaten question: Who is he – Good Jay or Bad Jay? The answer, though, lies in the question itself.

Riverside Brookfield junior class hopes to keep winning trend going on varsity

Recent records

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – Take a look at the Riverside Brookfield varsity boys basketball roster and something might stand out about the ages of the players.

Of the 15 players on the roster, just two are seniors.

Two sophomores also are on the team and both play major minutes. Most of the team is juniors, however.

That junior class has seen a lot of success coming up through the lower levels and is hoping to turn that into winning ways with the varsity team. In two years on the sophomore level, juniors Sam Johnson and Paul Sitkiewicz went 43-5.

“It just shows you how bad losing is when you only lose twice a year,” Johnson said.

“It just makes you want to win more.”

Those sophomore teams also helped form chemistry for the current varsity team.

When Johnson and Sitkiewicz were freshmen, they played up on the sophomore level with the Bulldogs’ two current seniors, Jack VandeMerkt and Will Kincanon. Sophomore Mark Smith played up a year to join the sophomore team a year ago.

Throw in some extra time together during AAU season and the Bulldogs had no trouble working with each other on the court.

“We all had played together,” Sitkiewicz said. “We already had a lot of chemistry coming in.”

The only player that didn’t play with the 11 juniors on the roster is sophomore Daniko Jackson, who slid into the starting point guard role.

Jackson comes in with an impressive pedigree of his own.

He was on a freshman A team that went 24-0 last season and

• 2011-12 sophomores: 22-2 • 2012-13 freshmen A: 24-0 • 2012-13 sophomores: 21-3

“We had to put in a lot of work over the summer and even the fall getting [ready] with the team and making sure everyone is on the same page before coming to the first game.”

Paul Sitkiewicz Junior basketball player

won 20 of its games by double figures.

“The years before, we had a lot of success so we had something to live up to,” Sitkiewicz said. “We accepted it and we were ready.

“We had to put in a lot of work over the summer and even the fall getting [ready] with the team and making sure everyone is on the same page before coming to the first game. Everything is going well so far.”

Overall, the Bulldogs are off to a winning start. They are 3-0 in the Metro Suburban Conference, on pace for the program’s 13th straight conference title.

Individually, Johnson hit the ground running by scoring 27 points in his varsity debut.

He also put up his first two double-doubles Dec. 20 against Illiana Christian in a 73-61 win (19 points, 11 rebounds) and Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com in the first round of the Jack Tosh Holiday Classic against Riverside Brookfield junior Paul Sitkiewicz (left) goes up to alter the shot of Timothy Christian’s Ben Glenbard East on Dec. 26 (19 Lodewyk in a Dec. 17 game.

YEAR OF THE CHAMPION

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com

CC • Wednesday, January 1, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

As the calendar flips to 2014, what better time than to reflect on some of the best performances put forth by local high school athletes in 2013. Several state champions were crowned, and even more teams and athletes made their marks with top finishes in state competitions.

School: Lyons Township Sport: Girls gymnastics Place: State champs State run: The Lions won the first state title in the program’s history and in a dramatic fashion. LT trailed Prairie Ridge by a quarter of a point after the first day of competition and could only make up the ground in event finals. The Lions pulled off the rare Saturday comeback by adding 0.575 to the team total in the event finals and won the title. Sophomore Kelsy Kurfirst won floor exercise, was second in the all-around and on vault and tied for third with junior teammate Katie Carling on balance beam. Junior Michelle Cozza was second on bars and tied for third on vault.

Quote: “When I improved on the bar score it got me motivated and I knew that our team had a potential of winning state so we all carried that to beam,” junior Michelle Cozza said. “It was surreal.”

Name: Stephanie Lin, Lyons Township Sport: Badminton Place: State champ State run: Lin was a surprise winner at the state tournament last spring. She was seeded in the 5-8 range, but dropped just one set all tournament. She upset top seed Ailynna Chen of Hinsdale Central in the quarterfinal round and later defeated Hinsdale South’s Emma Adcock in the final.

Quote: “I don’t think I was expecting that at all. One of my coaches says your best weapon is between your ears.

I just kept that in mind.”

Stephanie Lin said.

individual. I really like that.

the season without the most recent state trophy in its possession for the first time in eight years and made it their mission to win back state. Fenwick knocked off defending champion Lyons Township in a tense sectional final and had just one close match in the three at state to

win the conference, regional or sectional races but were good enough to get to state and earn the program’s second state trophy in a row and ninth overall. Henry Hostettler, Dan Lupano and James Ryan all placed in the top 50 at state. LT was the third of three West Suburban Silver

teams to grab a state trophy.

School: Fenwick Sport: Girls swimming Place: Third in state State run: The Friars have become one of the elite programs in girls swimming and showed that yet again this fall. By taking third at state, Fenwick won its third state trophy and fourth in five years. The individual successes of Mimi Schneider, who won the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly,

The Friars were the only team to come even within a goal of state champ Glenwood, losing to the Titans 2-1 in a semifinal. Seniors Lauren Frank, Bridget Hillsman, Cali Pyzdrowski, Kelly Collins and Elizabeth Cusick were among the key players for the veteran team.

Name: Alex Chatt, Lyons Township Sport: Girls tennis Place: Third in state State run: Chatt was a standout her entire high school career.
