Big Guys in Berwyn features reindeer sausage

Bill Ackerman file photo- backerman@shawmedia.com

Brendan O’Connor flips a pork chop on the grill at Big Guys Charbroiled Sausage on Feb. 8 in Berwyn. Big Guys is offering reindeer sausage through December in the form of The Rudolph – reindeer sausage made with red wine, blueberries, blueberry syrup, fresh thyme, topped with caramelized onions and goat cheese. meat purveyor, Blue Ribbon Meats in Chicago, is supplying the reindeer meat. But it’s when that ground meat hits the stainless steel table that the strange magic occurs.

O’Connor and the crew start with a mixture of the reindeer, pork and beef, the amounts of which are a secret.

Then comes the spicing: Red wine, blueberries, blueberry

syrup and fresh thyme are combined with the meat to set off a sweet and savory assault on the taste buds.

Once stuffed in its casing, the sausage is put on the grill, cooked, nestled in a bun and topped with caramelized onions and goat cheese.

“We’re calling it The Rudolph,” O’Connor said. “We did this last year and we made

it with a dark mole sauce. We called it the El Rudolfo. But we like that The Rudolph is sweet because that kind of goes with Christmas.”

And so far, customers are liking it, O’Connor said.

Those people who are familiar with venison will recognize the taste.

O’Connor said he played with a number of spices be-

fore coming up with the unique flavor of The Rudolph this year.

So, what does this monster tell his children when they ask, “What’s for dinner, Dad?” “I don’t think my babies have caught on to it yet,” he said. “My 11-year-old, I haven’t told her about the sausage yet. I wanted to wait until St. Nicholas Day.”

BERWYN – Two questions: One, why would respected cased meatmakers such as Big Guys in Berwyn risk their reputation and stand by grinding up the rolling stock for Santa Claus’ Midnight Ride and putting it on the grill?

And two, can you get mustard on that sandwich?

The crew at Big Guys Charbroiled Sausages, 7120 Roosevelt Road, have seemingly stuffed it all, from pork to chicken, veal to crawfish, in sausage form.

Never shy, the cooks have now come out with a seasonal sausage that’s perfect for the Christmas holiday: Reindeer.

This isn’t the same stuff that your whitetail deer hunting uncle has been trying to get you to eat since you were a kid. And this isn’t the venison carved off a flaming spit like the merry men of Sherwood Forest would eat after a busy day of grand larceny (let’s break another myth; they were thieving bums).

Bambi has nothing to worry about either.

But Rudolph, Prancer, Dasher, Blitzen and their buddies should run their antlers off, though I guess they could just fly away, too.

“Then this building opened up,” she said. “I never did retail before. I had no retail experience.”

She took everything from three of her four booths and moved them into the storefront, she said, and opened for business.

“This is my second life,” Thielen said. “I worked at Loyola University for 20 years in administration.”

Thielen’s love for old treasures began when she was quite young.

“My mom was a Depression baby when she had me,” Thiel-

Theiler said she remembers stories of people going “boulevard shopping,” a euphemism for scavenging down the alleys. Her grandfather, Charles Boike, would make craft items from old pallets to earn money during the Great Depression.

To say Thielen is drawn to the nostalgic is an understatement. She works with the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency and Landmarks Illinois, and worked with graduate students from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Historic Preservation Program to create the city of Berwyn’s Preservation Plan document.

Thielen also led the verifi-

cation project to identify Frank Lloyd Wright’s American System Built homes in Berwyn, and co co-authored the National Register Nominations for the Berwyn National Bank, the First United Methodist Church and the Berwyn Health Center building.

She also is a charter board member of the Berwyn Main Street Foundation.

As for the store, you will find vintage items mixed with the new, from furniture right off of a 1930’s movie set to bath and body wares. Thielen said most of her customers are female.

“I still have people who like to collect,” she said. “I don’t have the sophisticated collectors. My store is not set up like that. There’s something here for everyone. They can come in, look around, have a nice time.”

Her business strategy is simple, she said.

“I don’t do gimmicky stuff,” she said. “My things are priced fair from the beginning. My business is in the town I live.

I have to look at these people.”

BERWYN – There are stores to buy shoes, stores to buy bread and stores to buy a pipe wrench. Lori Thielen’s store in the Berwyn Depot District sells memories and more.

Serendipity Antiques, 6733 Stanley Ave., like many hybrid antique shops these days, offers a wide range of new gift items, as well as antiques and collectibles. For Thielen, it’s about loving all things old.

A former president of the Berwyn Historical Society and chairman of the Historical/ Memorabilia Committee for the city of Berwyn’s Centennial Project, Thielen also directed the development and implementation of the Historic Berwyn’s Bungalow Tours and the Holy Ground Tours, which involved researching and touring all 23 churches in Berwyn.

Cicero smart meters part of bigger ComEd plan

By JOE SINOPOLI jsinopoli@shawmedia.com CICERO – Cicero power users started getting smarter by the minute this month as ComEd began the installation of its new smart meters as part of a 10-year, $2.6 billion grid modernization program.

More than 4 million smart meters will be installed in all, with 60,000 of them installed by the end of 2013. Some 6,500 will be installed in Cicero by the end of the year. Customers will receive a letter from ComEd detailing when their installation will take place, which takes about 10 minutes.

The meters are only a small part of the expansive smart grid modernization plan, ComEd spokesman John Schoen said.

“It’s part of an overall effort to modernize the electric grid,” Schoen said. “The cost goes to other improvements in the grid as well.”

The digital electric meter uses two-way radio communications to collect information on usage. It then securely transmits the usage information to ComEd through a wireless connection.

According to ComEd, the meters will provide customers with access to more information about energy through online energy-management tools that can help customers manage their electric bills.

Schoen added the new meters will eliminate the need for meter readers and estimated readings as well.

Customers can create a free online account at www. comed.com before the meters

are installed. Using the My Energy Tools feature, customers can find energy-saving tips, compare energy use with neighbors and create a personal energy saving plan.

Smart meters, like standard meters, measure how much energy is used, not how it is used. ComEd is using state-of-the-art cryptographic technologies to protect against unauthorized access to a customer’s personal information. ComEd said the technology is similar to that used by global financial institutions and the Department of Defense.

A smart grid is an electricity delivery system that uses smart switches and smart meters to communicate with ComEd. Installation of these

Berwyn takes steps to keep water flowing City approves services for engineering study

By JOE SINOPOLI jsinopoli@shawmedia.com BERWYN – Berwyn officials have taken steps to ensure the city’s water supply stays at a safe level by approving services for an engineering study to determine the 19th Street pumping station’s requirements for an emergency generator.

The City Council unanimously approved the hiring of Patrick Engineering on Nov. 26 for services not to exceed $20,000 to select the proper location, size, switch gear and security measures need to complete the project.

A memo from Patrick Engineering stated the purpose of the engineering study is to determine the required and

infrastructure needs to provide an emergency standby generator in the event of a power outage.

“Having this generator will provide long-term water supply to residents and fire suppression to the entire city during extended power outages,” Director of Public Works Robert Schiller said.

The 19th Street pumping station was without power for two days during a storm in 2012, which caused a severe depletion in the city’s water supply, Schiller said.

The city of Chicago pumps Berwyn’s water to the 19th Street reservoir and pumping station. From there, water is pumped to the north side of the city’s second reservoir and pump station at 1 Public Works Drive. The south side of the city is then supplied with water from the pumping station at 1 Public Works Drive.

BERWYN – Berwyn’s longtime destination venue for music, FitzGerald’s Nightclub, celebrates its 33rd Anniversary (and the holidays) with seven nights of music, including a special Big Tent Show with Tab Benoit starting this week.

FitzGerald’s, 6615 Roosevelt Road, Berwyn, has a full December lineup of big shows and holiday extravaganzas.

The club opened Dec.18, 1980, and will be celebrating three decades of live music with a great lineup of some favorite artists of the club’s owners.

When the tent goes up this week, FitzGerald’s will be transformed into a winter wonderland with holiday decorations (and heat) for the special show on Friday with swamp rock master Tab Benoit.

“Tab [Benoit] has sold out the club so many times that we decided an outdoor tent would give us more room and would also be something special for the holidays,” said owner Bill Fitzgerald, who also books all the entertainment at the club.

On Saturday, the tent also will serve as a grand lobby, with Christmas films and choirs, for the Brave Combo Holiday Show in the club. Food will be available at both Tab Benoit and Brave Combo, as Tom “Festival” Cimms will be manning the grill and serving up Louisiana specialties. Holiday drink specials will also be offered throughout December.

The anniversary shows start with Jon Dee Graham teaming up with Jon Langford tonight, Wednesday, Dec. 11.

The World Famous Pontani Sisters will be kicking up their heels for a Burlesquea-pades Holiday Spectacular along with Telecaster Master Bill Kirchen’s Holiday HonkyTonk Show on Thursday. Rob Parton’s Big Band will perform on the club’s actual anniversary on Dec. 18.

To welcome in the New Year and end the anniver-

33rd anniversary lineup at FitzGerald’s

BERWYN – The Michelin Guide has revealed the restaurants that made the Bib Gourmands list for 2013, and Berwyn’s Autre Monde Cafe and Spirits, 6727 Roosevelt Road, has earned a place on it.

The key components of a smart grid are smart switches, smart meters, modernized substations and refurbished underground cables.

About 2,500 distribution automation devices, or smart switches, are being installed, that can automat-

Digital sensors detect a problem, then smart control devices automatically reroute power around the trouble spot, often with no noticeable interruption of service.

Two-way communications keep engineers informed about what is happening on the electric grid and enable them to intervene, according to ComEd. Ten substations will have analog equipment upgraded to digital technology that can communicate automatically with ComEd, and a total of 4,400 miles of underground cable is being replaced or refurbished to reduce the number of storm-related service interruptions.

Illinois lawmakers narrowly approved a bill Dec. 3 intended to fix the state’s pension crisis by providing $160 million in savings over the next 30 years.

The bill, approved by both the Illinois House and Senate, plans to guarantee full funding of the state’s pension systems by 2044, according to the Illinois Senate Democrats website. Gov. Pat Quinn signed the bill into law Dec. 5.

Opponents of the law, including labor unions, say the deal punishes workers who paid into the pension system for years, but will now suffer because of the state’s failure to make payments and other mismanagement. Labor unions have said they will challenge the law’s constitutionality.

Some Republicans said the law’s cuts were not deep enough.

“This landmark legislation is a bipartisan solution that squarely addresses the most difficult fiscal issue Illinois has ever confronted,” Ill. Gov. Pat Quinn said in

a statement.

The House voted 62-53 for the plan, sending it to Quinn.

The Senate approved the bill 30-24.

The law affects workers in five different pension funds, including state workers and most of the public school teachers in Illinois outside of Chicago.

Morton High School District 201 Superintendent Michael Kuzniewski said it was too early to comment.

“We haven’t even been privy to the actual language yet. To comment would be premature,” Kuzniewski said via email.

Illinois lawmakers failed for years to take action to fix what is considered the worst public pension problem in the nation. The massive underfunded liability has caused credit rating agencies to downgrade Illinois’ rating.

The law raises the retirement age for current workers 45 and younger, on a sliding scale, and also cuts back the 3 percent cost of living increases to only be applied to certain benefits. Workers will contribute 1 percent less to the plan.

Fact is, he was sent to prison for criminal charges of possession of a case of hand grenades. Let’s not forget Winnie Mandela, whose organization would murder blacks if they so much as said “good afternoon” to a police officer on the street. Fact – they would get hold of them, call them informants, put rubber tires around them, fill them with gas and set them on fire. I didn’t expect the liberal media to print the truth about that.

Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves continues to press forward trying to build a sports complex in Lemont. He tried to get it through previously without any input from the residents. He only gave us a 30-day notice, but we exercised our right and had enough signatures on a petition to force it to go to referendum.

As it stands today, he’s been trying to secure private financing for the sports complex and is unable to do so because the investors do not want to invest in polluted land that the Village of Lemont does not own; the land is owned by the water reclamation district. So, if the private investors have no desire to invest in a $20 million sports complex, what gives him the

Decorating blog goes ‘viral’

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL

On the web

aruppenthal@shawmedia.com When Casey O’Halloran and Bridget O’Connor started a blog about decorating on a budget, they thought, at the very worst, they’d at least get a few readers.

“We had no clue what to expect,” said O’Connor, a teacher who lives in Countryside. “[We] thought at least our moms would read.”

It turns out a lot of moms and others found their way to the blog, which is about to hit 1 million page views. The DIY Playbook has become a parttime job for the two women in their mid-20s, who post daily photos and short stories about do-it-yourself decorating projects they think of and tackle together, usually on weekends.

From furniture to crafts to organizing to weddings to holiday decorations – such as a wreath made of red- and green-painted wine corks – the blog features dozens of projects. Other examples include a chalkboard globe, stenciled bookcase, mason jar

Check out Bridget O’Connor and Casey O’Halloran’s decorating ideas at www.thediyplaybook.com.

They can also be found on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest with the handle diyplaybook. organizer, vintage bar cart and decorating with a pew.

People went nuts for the Mason jars, which O’Halloran and O’Connor screwed into wood and hung above a sink as a bathroom organizer.

“They went viral,” said O’Halloran, a producer for WGN-TV. “We’re still getting comments and emails from people. They’re all over Pinterest, all over websites … [People] want to know the exact size of the drill bit we used.”

As the blog started getting noticed more and more, O’Halloran and O’Connor – best friends since high school – received offers from companies who wanted to partner with them. Their sponsors include HomeGoods, which operates stores like TJ Maxx

and Marshalls, PODS portable moving containers and moving company HireAHelper, whose website features one of their “do-it-yourself Thursday” posts every week.

“We never really thought we could make money running a blog,” O’Halloran said.

“We weren’t thinking page views. We weren’t thinking dollar signs.”

Now that the blog has taken off, the women – self-described Type A personalities who schedule posts months in advance – are thinking bigger. They’re putting money away to eventually hire a developer to make over their website.

But the site will still focus on creative decorating on a budget. That was what O’Halloran and O’Connor bonded over during college, when they had to find cheap ways to spice up their dorm rooms.

“You don’t have to break the bank to decorate your house and a creative space to be proud of,” O’Connor said.

“We’re really big on decorating our homes with any kind of decor that’s meaningful.”

Restaurant reviews

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Barone’s has been a popular dining destination in Glen Ellyn since 1971.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and salads, with gluten-free pasta also available.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BWL

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“It can no longer be artificial or cut.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

cherries, pears, bananas and citrus.

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

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

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

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

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

Makes four large servings.

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

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

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

“O

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

Holly

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

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

Mistletoe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Consider these holiday tipping guidelines from Post:

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE |

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

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

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

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

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

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

Morton’s Joewan Smith (top) wrestles Glenbard South’s Younis Dahner at 113 pounds during Thursday’s dual match in Cicero. The Mustangs cruised to a win in the dual and continued their strong start to the season.

Fast start could be key to Morton wrestling success

By DAN SANTAROMITA

Next match

dsantaromita@shawmedia.com CICERO – The Morton wrestling team has just a few returnees from last year’s varsity lineup, but the Mustangs’ mix has turned in some good early results.

Leading the way is Adrian Cardenas, a sectional qualifier last year at 170 pounds. The senior is back at that weight class and is arguably Morton’s best wrestler.

“I guess he would be the crown jewel of our program,” Morton coach Steve Eckert said. “He’s a senior. He’s been to sectionals twice. I’m thinking that if he doesn’t get to the state tournament this year,

Who: Morton at Willowbrook What: West Suburban Gold dual meet When: 6 p.m. Thursday Where: Willowbrook High School, 1250 S. Ardmore Ave., Villa Park

it would be a real disappointment.”

Cardenas was one of three Mustangs to claim tournament titles at Guerin on Nov. 30. Freshman Joewan Smith (113 pounds) and sophomore Donny DiNardo also won titles to help Morton win the 11team tournament.

The tournament win has been part of a winning start for the Mustangs. Morton beat Riverside Brookfield 44-12 on Nov. 27 and defeated Glenbard South 63-12 on Dec. 5.

“Not any high-powered schools [at Guerin], but it’s a real nice start for us,” Eckert said. “It’s a good gauge, especially for guys that are new to the varsity lineup.”

Senior Kevion Anderson is the only other sectional qualifier back for Morton.

The Mustangs’ other sectional qualifier last year, Juan Blanco, transferred away. Anderson, a 220-pounder, went from a raw athlete that couldn’t win challenge matches in practice when he started wrestling

to one of the team’s best last year, according to Eckert.

“He’s just a big, strong kid who we’re trying to teach to be a better wrestler,” the coach said.

DiNardo (120 pounds) started some of last year along with Jesus Ceja (195).

Noel Ibarra (182) also earned some valuable experience last year while practicing against Cardenas. The rest of the varsity lineup is full of newcomers, which means they will need time to adjust to the level, according to Eckert.

“The jury is still out because all these guys are learning what it’s like to be varsity starters,” the coach said.

“What I like about the squad

this year is that they really came to practice this year wanting to learn to be better wrestlers and they really do work hard in practice. You can’t ask more than that.”

For now, the lineup consists of four seniors, six juniors, three sophomores and a freshman. Smith, the lone freshman, trained in Oak Park River Forest’s Little Huskies program so he comes in with more wrestling experience than most freshman.

Smith showed off his talent by winning the title at 113 pounds at Guerin.

“He’s lightning fast, but he hasn’t had much competition yet,” Eckert said. “He is a nice addition to our lineup.”

St. Joseph at St. Rita, 7 p.m. Feb. 28 This will be the regular season finale, so there is a chance both teams could get caught looking ahead to the postseason. Regardless, the individual talent on the court will be impressive. St. Joseph is armed with junior guards and Division I recruits Jordan Ash and Glynn Watson.

rivals will meet in the regular season, having split the last two meetings. Both teams have high hopes for this season and the talent to back it up. Fenwick’s Northwestern recruit Scott Lindsey will likely still be out with a broken leg, but the Friars have plenty of talent to remain competitive and threaten the Huskies.

Lyons Township at Hinsdale Central, Jan. 17, 7:30 p.m.

Whenever these two schools meet in any sport there’s going to be heated competition, but this year both teams figure to be in the race in the West Suburban Silver. The guard-heavy Lions, led by junior guard Harrison Niego, will have to match up with 6-foot-7 Central junior forward Matt Rafferty. The Lions also host the Red Devils on Feb. 15.

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM

Are the Browns the cupcake the Bears need?

Hub Arkush

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

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

Ah, but looks can be deceiving.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

herma Tru Doors

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

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

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

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

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

The Browns’ defense has been ex-

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

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

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

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

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Broncos (vs. Chargers), 7:25 p.m. Thursday At this point, you probably don’t need anyone to tell you to play your Broncos, but this is a particularly good matchup.

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

Must starts: Peyton Man-

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

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

As usual, it will be the Bears defense.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Although some leagues began their playoffs last week, most fantasy postseasons kick off in Week 15. The weather made for some wacky games in Week 14. Hopefully, the assorted snowstorms and frigid temperatures did not contribute to ending your team’s season.

For those who fight on into the playoffs, here is a look at some fantasy matchups in week 15.

ning, Demaryius Thomas, Knowshon Moreno, Matt Prater Solid plays: Eric Decker, Julius Thomas Worth a look: Monte Ball, Denver defense Avoid: Wes Welker (concussion) Chargers (at Broncos), 7:25 p.m. Thursday Yes, only three teams give up more passing yards than Denver. They are ranked No. 7 against the run, however. The stats are a bit misleading: Denver is usually ahead, which forces other teams to pass.

Solid plays: Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen, Antonio Gates, Ryan Mathews Worth a look: Nick Novak Avoid: Eddie Royal, San Diego defense Falcons (vs. Redskins), noon Sunday Most of this season, you’d be more likely to find Atlanta listed under “Matchups to
