Lyons firefighters serve seniors a holiday turkey dinner Dec. 9 at the annual Senior Christmas Party in Lyons, sponsored by the Lyons-McCook Business Association.

Area businesses treat seniors to dinner SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA The businesses in the neighboring towns of Lyons and McCook partnered to strengthen commerce and give back to their communities during the holiday season.

Eddie Wilkowski, director of the Lyons and McCook Business Association, said there is a strong sense of unity between the businesses in both towns, as they continue to work together and with the elected officials.

Wilkowski, who also owns Marlins Bar and Grill in Ly-

ons, said that many business owners in the area are involved in their communities and make it a priority to give back.

One example was seen on Dec. 9, when the business association sponsored the annual Senior Christmas Party, hosted for older adult residents in Lyons and McCook at the Lyons Village Hall.

Seniors were invited to celebrate the holiday season with a full course turkey dinner, live entertainment and gifts.

Lyons Mayor Christopher

Getty said the event had as great turnout, with more than 325 people participating. Getty also extended his thanks to the business association, the volunteers at the event and the various businesses who donated their time and money to make the event possible.

In addition to the business association sponsoring the event, 22 turkeys were donated by McCook Cold Storage.

Dessert was provided by Culvers, and gifts bags, courtesy of numerous businesses, were handed out from the village of Lyons.

RIVERSIDE – Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel has been asked to serve on a committee made up of like-minded officials who agree that incarcerating youth experiencing mental health is costly both fiscally and socially for our society.

National Alliance on Mental Thomas Health Chicago Weitzel Executive Director Alexa James has asked Weitzel to serve on the steering committee. Weitzel also serves on the Illinois Juvenile Justice Commission, and was appointed to that commission in early 2014 by Gov. Pat Quinn.

Weitzel said law enforcement plays an important role in the treatment of juvenile mental health issues through the criminal justice system, and there is a need for increased services, not only by law enforcement, but our social service systems in greater Cook County.

James said Weitzel will be an advocate both through his contacts with other law enforcement colleagues and the state legislators for positive change in the way juveniles are treated who have diagnosed mental health issues and entered the criminal justice system. The committee’s first meeting will take place in mid-January 2015.

The mission of the National Alliance on Mental Health Chicago is to provide hope and improve a quality of life for those in the greater Chicago area whose lives are affected by serious mental illness, by providing information and referrals, education, support, advocacy, and active community outreach.

LYONS – U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, and U.S. Senator Mark Kirk, R-Illinois, headed to the village of Lyons on Dec. 22 to discuss a bipartisan bill authored by Lipinski and introduced in the U.S. Senate by Kirk that they hope will boost domestic manufacturing.

Lipinski and Kirk hosted discussion at Atlas Tool & Die Works, Inc., 4633 S. Lawndale Ave. Lipinski’s legislation, the National Strategic Plan for Manufacturing, was signed into law with the hope of boosting jobs for Americans. The bill re-

quires that at least every four years, the president work with public and private stakeholders to produce and publish a plan to promote American manufacturing, according to information provided by Lipinski’s office.

Additionally, the president’s budget blueprint will require an explanation of how it promotes the most recent strategic plan.

Lipinski’s bill passed the U.S. House three times in the last five years. Kirk introduced the bill in the U.S. Senate and it was signed into law by President Barack Obama last week.

Kirk introduced the bill in the U.S. Senate.

WESTERN SPRINGS – A Metra train from Chicago headed west struck an unoccupied vehicle on the railroad tracks about 5:17 p.m. Dec. 22 in Western Springs, according to police reports.

When police responded to the scene, they found the unoccupied vehicle located about 200 feet east of the Wolf Road crossing in the 700 block of Burlington Avenue in Western Springs.

Police learned a man and a woman saw a driver turn from Wolf Road and drive onto the train tracks. The two ran to assist an 80-year-old Glen Ellyn woman inside the vehicle and helped to remove her from the vehicle as a train ap-

proached. One of the bystanders was identified as Ed Suarez of Western Springs.

Shortly after getting the woman from the vehicle, a Metra train headed west to Aurora struck the driver’s side door of the vehicle, which was left ajar.

Western Springs police said they believed the woman was traveling south on Wolf Road and misjudged a left turn and ended up turning onto the railroad tracks by mistake.

The driver – and the two bystanders who assisted her from the vehicle – were not injured in the incident. The driver was transported to La Grange Memorial Hospital after the incident as a precautionary measure.

Police said their investigation is still ongoing.

A female dolphin at her calf swim together at the Brookfield Zoo. born Dec. 5 died shortly after it was born. The zoo is still awaiting results of a necropsy – and animal autopsy – to learn more about the circumstances of the deaths.

In the most recent death, the 7-day-old calf appeared to be doing well. After the birth, the calf and its mother received round-the-clock care by zoo staff. Most important, Zeigler said, was making sure

the calf was nursing and “slipstreaming” with its mother.

Slipstreaming is a critical behavior that allows the newborn calf to conserve energy by riding a wake created by its mother and being pulled along in her stream. However, days later the calf and mother began to show behavior changes in their swimming patterns.

When it appeared the calf was experiencing problems, zoo

BROOKFIELD – Staff at the Brookfield Zoo are mourning the death of a second dolphin calf born at the zoo, the Chicago Zoological Society announced Dec. 22.

The 7-day-old calf was born Dec. 12 to 9-year-old Allison.

The calf died Dec. 19 after zoo staff stepped in to provide supportive treatment.

A second dolphin calf born Dec. 5 died suddenly that day after what was believed to be a normal birth.

The first 30 days of a dolphin’s life are particularly critical, said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president of collection and animal care for the Chicago Zoological Society.

One of the three dolphins born at the zoo in 2013 also died in the days after it was born. The other two are now 1-year-old calves, Merlin and Magic, and are doing well at the zoo’s exhibit.

Zeigler said the dolphin

enced mothers have a higher loss rate than experienced mothers. He said that was especially true of dolphins born in the wild.

The Chicago Zoological Society has participated in a 44-year study of wild dolphin research in Sarasota, Florida. Zeigler said that the study shows that moralities of young calves during the first 30 days of life account for the largest rate of loss to dolphin populations in the wild.

The dolphins at the Brookfield Zoo, Zeigler said, get significantly better treatment than those in the wild.

“It’s as much an issue out there as anywhere else,” Zeigler said.

Zeigler said it was apparent the mother of the calf that died Dec. 19 was making a good effort to raise the calf.

Members of the zoo’s staff are heartbroken over both deaths, Zeigler said.

“Obviously, when this type of thing happens it is devastating for the staff.”

NORTH RIVERSIDE – The work of North Riverside artist Zachary Fiala will be on display at North Riverside Mall throughout the month of January as part of the mall’s regular artist series.

The exhibit will be showcased in the theater lobby, 7501 Cermak Road, North Riverside.

“What motivates me is simply a desire to create, which I believe is the most fundamental aspects of the human spirit shared by everyone,” Fiala said in a news release. “I simply paint what I want, what comes to mind. I don’t want the viewer to think about me or even necessarily the painting, but if the painting causes the viewer to think about themselves, even for a minute, I consider the painting a success.”

Fiala attended the University of Illinois and launched his artistic career when he won an award in the school’s juried art show. His paintings have been featured and sold on Channel 11 auctions, and most of his works are in private collections in the U.S. and Europe, including the estate of Salvador Dali.

Cost of state officials’ flights starts to add up SPRINGFIELD – Call it the mother of all perks. Ordinary schmoes like you and me pile into our cars or board a train when we want to travel elsewhere in Illinois. A plane ride is just too expensive. But that’s not how state government’s top honchos look at things. Folks like Speaker of the House Mike Madigan, Senate President John Cullerton and Gov. Pat Quinn are ferried about like VIEWS chieftains in state-owned Scott executive aircraft. And they Reeder don’t pay for this perk. We do.

In the many years I’ve been covering the statehouse, one of the most sought after pieces of information each week of legislative session is when Madigan’s plane is taking off. Madigan staffers and Department of Transportation pilots are milked for this inane piece of minutiae.

Why? Because it’s indicative of when legislative activity will come to a stop and all the reporters, lobbyists and rankand-file legislators can plan on going home, too.

On Tuesday, Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner answered a question about the state’s air fleet this way: “I’m cheap, I do drive. I am going to drive a lot. I don’t believe the taxpayers should be funding that large fleet. I think it’s self-indulgent and unnecessary. … But I’ve said it since Day 1: We’ve got to be responsive to the taxpayers, and having the largest fleet in America does not make sense.”

It costs $21 for a state employee to take the train between Chicago and Springfield or about $65 for them to drive, based on the mileage reimbursement rate for state lawmakers. Earlier this year, I calculated out that it costs taxpayers $4,060 when lawmakers or others choose to fly a six-seat executive airplane between the two cities.

Gov. Pat Quinn used the plane the most, booking 21,134 miles in 2013. In 2013, Supreme Court justices booked 14,846 miles on the state plane. In 2013, Illinois lawmakers booked 108,000 miles in the state planes – enough miles to circle the globe four times.

For several years, State Rep. Bill Mitchell, R-Forsyth, has had a bill pending before the legislature to pare down the state executive air fleet to one plane, which only the governor would use. But Madigan and his allies have kept the measure bottled up in committee, never to be voted on by lawmakers.

“Sometimes, I’ve been ridiculed about this because last year it cost $7 million and we face such a big hole,” Mitchell said. “I think it is an example of state government having a tin ear.”

Village officials and guests cut the ribbon Sept. 20 to inaugurate the new bandshell at Brookfield’s Kiwanis Park at a reopening of the park.

Here’s hoping you had a great 2014 and that 2015 is even better.

A lot happened in the Riverside-Brookfield area in the past year, and it’s been our honor and privilege to bring you the details of those stories and the fascinating people who make the news. If you missed our annual roundup last week of the top stories of the year, you can find it online at http://shawurl.com/1n5n.

We’re obviously against drunken driving at all times, but if you try it in Riverside during New Year’s, you’re almost certainly going to end up face to face with a very annoyed police officer. The police department announced they’ll be out in force through Jan. 4 as part of the Illinois Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

If you plan to imbibe, be sure to have a designated driver, a cab or use public transportation. There’s no need to put lives in danger.

A letter of ‘thanks’

We just wanted to send our thanks to you, next-door neighbor. Thank you for not delivering our package that was mistakenly delivered to your home instead of ours four days before Christmas. Thank you for holding on to it for a whole six days and not bringing it over. We truly had a great time making multiple calls to the shipping company and post office looking for our missing package. Most importantly, we thank you for giving up our package to the postal inspector and having him bring it over. Next time you happen to get our mail on accident, just wave us over when you see us, we’ll walk the 50 feet from our front door to yours to get our mail. I’m sorry you couldn’t enjoy the very expensive contents of the package after opening it and seeing what it was, but hey there’s always next year.

Your kindness this holiday season has been overwhelming and we wish you a happy new year.

Thanks to good Samaritans

I yelled for help, and in mere seconds I had more help than I could have imagined. People immediately began to help. The store [employees] and strangers I will never know the names of helped me assist my wife. Someone helped me control the bleeding and someone called the paramedics.

Keep D-201 salaries static

A recently published “Sound Off” comment called for higher property taxes to fund School District 201, “Time to act in D-201,” but the author neglected to mention that district taxpayers have acted in very decisive ways over the years. Homeowners know that 80 percent of school district funds go for salaries and benefits and that higher property taxes will only make administrators and teachers even more affluent. In the 30 years I’ve lived in Berwyn, district residents have repeatedly voted down property tax increases. Four property tax increases were rejected in the last 20 years, including three times in 2007, with even larger margins each time. District 201 taxpayers weren’t born yesterday, and they don’t appreciate these attempts of District 201 administrators and employees to pad their wallets while claiming that it’s all for the children.

WORKER CLASSIFICATION Who is an employee? Who is an independent contractor?

The IRS is keeping after companies regarding worker classification determinations. Treasury inspectors noted that some employers failed to follow up after the IRS reclassified the individuals as employees, rather than contractors.

Apparently, as many as 15 percent of those employers continued to send 1099s to their workers instead of giving them W-2 forms. The IRS is planning an outreach program to remind the companies and warn that noncompliance will lead to audits.

The general rule regarding an independent contractor is that the payer has the right to direct the result of the work but not what will be done or how. Once the employer directs the details of what can be done and when, then the worker is an employee. Also at issue, of course, are payroll taxes: the employer’s half of FICA contributions, plus any other local or state taxes.

I’m a 62-year-old black man, and I hate that all this race stuff, black and white, is going on. I will never understand how all this got started. Back in the day, black people had to go in the back door or sit in the back of the bus, and white people could make them get up so they could sit down.

Why did all this happen? Why couldn’t we have love from the beginning and stop all this hate? I don’t understand how the color of your skin [matters]. God made us all, we are all God’s children and I can’t understand all this hate.

SPRINGFIELD – Jerry Stermer, a former budget director and chief of staff for Gov. Pat Quinn, will take over the office of Illinois comptroller until Jan. 12.

Quinn announced Stermer’s appointment in a Chicago news conference Dec. 12.

“The sudden passing of Judy Baar Topinka left a hole in the hearts of the people of Illinois,” Quinn said. “While no one can replace Judy Baar Topinka, government must continue. Jerry Stermer is a respected and experienced budget expert who will carry out the duties of comptroller with integrity and heart.”

Quinn said Stermer will work closely with Nancy Kimme, Topinka’s longtime chief of staff. Stermer will voluntarily step down Jan. 12.

Gov.-elect Bruce Rauner and fellow Republicans praised the decision.

“Appointing a temporary placeholder and keeping Judy Baar Topinka’s staff in place is an appropriate decision and will ensure continuity of services for the people of Illinois – for that I thank the governor,” Rauner said. “I know Jerry Stermer will be well served by Nancy Kimme and the team in

the comptroller’s office.”

Topinka, 70, the Republican incumbent comptroller and November winner of another four-year term, died suddenly Dec. 10 after suffering a stroke.

Since then, Quinn, who has less than a month left in office, and Rauner have sparred over how and for how long the position should be filled.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued an opinion Dec. 15, saying Quinn could appoint someone to serve until Jan. 12, but the appointment then would be Rauner’s to make.

Rauner argues the state constitution makes it clear he, as the sitting governor come Jan. 12 – when Topinka would have been sworn in, must appoint someone to fill her four-year term.

The Democratic attorney general said while Rauner might be able to do that, he shouldn’t because it would leave an appointee in an elected position for four years.

Quinn seemed to take the attorney general’s position as his own and called the General Assembly to Springfield for a special session Jan. 8. Quinn wants the Legislature to enable an election for comptroller in 2016, with the primaries in March and the general election in November.

• COMPTROLLER

Continued from page 12 To date, Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, supports the special election.

A spokesman for House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, said the speaker sees the dispute over the comptroller’s office an executive branch matter and would like Quinn and Rauner to reach an agreement.

House and Senate Republicans joined in Rauner’s position.

In a joint statement, the minority party leadership said departing from a clear constitutional path at the eleventh hour could only lead to unnecessary discord and litigation.

Sen. Matt Murphy of Palatine, deputy Republican leader, said he favored Rauner making a four-year appointment. However, he added, the special session could be put to use to pass a proposed constitutional amendment to be placed on the 2016 ballots. That amendment would combine the offices of state comptroller and state treasurer.

Combining the two offices, Murphy pointed out, was an idea Topinka supported.

Sen. Tim Bivins, R-Dixon, said it wasn’t clear anything would come out of the special session. If Speaker Madigan insists the governor and governor-elect work out the question of the comptroller’s office without legislative intervention, the session may be a short one with nothing passed.

And that, he added, might not be the worst thing ever.

“I think we’ve all had enough drama,” Bivins said.

Rep. Mike Smiddy, a Democrat from Hillsdale, said he intends to further study the attorney general’s opinion, but his inclination is that a four-year appointment to an elected, statewide office might be a stretch.

“That seems a little long to me,” Smiddy said.

Better perhaps, he said, would a comptroller’s election in 2016, especially as it could fit within the existing election calendar and not cause undue expense.ww

LA GRANGE – When you’re craving the taste of Italy, there’s no need to empty your savings account on plane tickets and hotel stays. Just head to downtown La Grange and visit La Buona Vita to experience delicious, homemade Italian fare.

On a stormy December evening, my brother and I decided we were in the mood for a home-cooked, hearty Italian meal, and decided to give La Buona Vita a try.

Eager to satisfy our appetites, we perused the long-sheet menu tempting us with everything from steak and lamb chops to seafood. To open the meal, we ordered fried calamari, fully aware of the amount of calories we were about to consume.

Once we’d savored the well-prepared appetizer, our server brought our dinner salads and two generously portioned pasta dishes.

My fellow diner chose the Linguine Viareggio, featuring linguine with mussels, baby clams and scallops dressed in a lively pomodoro sauce.

The meal, according to my brother, had the perfect amount of spicy kick.

While my taste buds usually crave a heap of spices, I decided to order the Rigatoni Emilio – pairing the pasta with fresh mozzarella, homemade marinara and garlic. The sauce was light and tasty, a great complement to the creamy mozzarella.

After we consumed every last, delectable bite of our food, both my brother and I leaned back and sighed, knowing full well not one more ounce could make its way to our stomachs – we were stuffed.

The restaurant also features gluten-free recipes including pasta dishes, so no one has to miss out on the pleasures of Italian dining. And the elegant bar offers craft beer on tap, along with select wines from around the globe. The bar is a focal point along the sleek dining room, where large windows look onto the cityscape.

During our next visit, the dinner menu won’t be the only one on my radar, because I’m leaving room for one of the tempting dessert selections: La Buona Vita’s Molten Chocolate Cake. It promises a warm chocolate cake with a gooey center served with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce.

On our visit, we found the food alone was enough to warrant a return trip, but the service added to the experience. Not only was our server attentive and extremely helpful when

YEAR OF THE

CHAMPION

Suburban Life celebrates the year’s top prep sports accomplishments in 2014

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA With the calendar about to flip from 2014 to 2015, there is no better time to honor the sensational performances the athletes from Lyons Township, Nazareth, Riverside Brookfield and other area schools enjoyed this year.

Here’s a look at their accomplishments:

School: Nazareth Sport: Football Place: Class 6A champions State run: The Roadrun-

ners entered the season with a talented roster and sky high expectations. They lived up to those expectations every step of the way, going undefeated in the regular season and winning the first four playoff games by at least 28 points. Naz defeated Lemont 26-7 for the Class 6A title.

Quote: “I knew if we worked well as a team and we didn’t let our ego get in the way of us, I knew that we could accomplish anything, and this is it right here.” Junior Julian Love

School: Lyons Township Sport: Girls gymnastics Place: State champion State run: A year after

winning state in 2013 by .325 points with a dramatic second-day comeback, the Lions blew away the field to repeat as state champions in 2014.

LT scored 151.275 points, the highest team score at state since 2007, and won 11 individual medals as well.

Quote: “It’s so exciting. I’m happy we came here again and did what we needed to do. It all just came together.”
