Library, St. Pius X collecting for those in need

By JOE SINOPOLI jsinopoli@shawmedia.com

Family Assistance Ministry, said it was the Council of Catholic Women who initiated the program with the ministry. Families request assistance through word of mouth, references and the church bulletin.

“We’ve been doing this a long time – at least 15 years – if not more,” Birmingham said.

Leighton Shell, head of the library’s Popular Services Department, said this year is the first time the library has joined forces with the church.

“It was a church program that we wanted to help out,”

Shell said. “It gave us a way to help out in the community.

One of [the library’s] goals is to be as big a part of the community as we can.”

Meanwhile, these are hard times in the land of plenty.

The floods that came in midApril forced many Stickney and Forest View residents from their homes and left expensive damages in its wake.

“Some of our families were really hit hard by that flooding,” Shell said.

The church gave the library 39 ornaments to put on the wish tree Nov. 27. The same day, five had already

been taken off the tree by participants who will use them as shopping lists. Those ornaments represent about 20 families in the communities, Shell said.

The deadline for area residents to bring in items on the wish lists is Dec. 15.

The library will also be accepting Christmas tree decorations for the library’s tree as a method of paying overdue fines at the rate of $1 for each ornament, with a maximum of five.

More information is available by calling the library at 708-749-1050.

STICKNEY – Stickney and Forest View are two communities that could be featured on posters that celebrate what the holiday season is all about. In these communities, people care.

And for that reason, the Stickney-Forest View Public Library is partnering with St. Pius X Parish to collect donations for those in need from the Stickney and Forest View communities.

The library has put up its own Wish Tree with orna-

ments that double as wish lists for families in need. The ornaments contain what gift items the kids would like to have for their families under their tree Christmas morning.

It works like this: Those interested in sponsoring a family can take one or more ornaments from the tree, purchase the items listed on those ornaments and bring them unwrapped to the library or the church. There, volunteers from St. Pius X Parish will wrap the gifts and distribute the presents to the assigned family.

Firefighters donate used gear to fire department in Mexico SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA CICERO – The Cicero Fire Department upgraded a lot of its gear this past year, but that isn’t to say the old stuff was ready to be retired.

Instead, the gear will get a second life with firefighters in Juanacatlán, Mexico.

The equipment being donated includes fire safety jackets, oxygen masks, helmets and other equipment that the Cicero Fire Department replaced in an upgrade earlier this year.

The Town Board approved an ordinance in August that allowed for the donation of the equipment once it was re-

placed by new equipment purchased by the town of Cicero.

Through an interpreter, Juanacatlán President Martinez Torres said he was grateful for the donation of the equipment when he met with Village President Larry Dominick, Fire Marshal Ron Opalecky and Alderman Rafael Moreno Soriano on Nov. 21.

Juanacatlán, a town of 20,000, is located in the central eastern part of the state of Jalisco. Torres traveled to Chicago to attend the 10th annual Club Pro Juanacatlan Dinner Dance on Nov. 23.

New Lyons microbrewery owners are poised to open new business

Ready to BuckleDown

By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON

The BuckleDown lineup

mhendrickson@shawmedia.com LYONS – Inside an old auto repair garage on a lonely, industrial stretch of 47th Street in Lyons work is steadily underway at the home of BuckleDown Brewing.

The smell of dust mixes with fresh cut wood as workers measure pipe and play with the electrical wiring that runs between a series of fermentation tanks. At the moment, the only indication that BuckleDown will soon be producing a rather large amount of beer is the brewery’s shipping and receiving room. Inside, just waiting to be torn open, are bags of grain and hops. The room smells a bit like beer cereal.

BuckleDown, 8700 W. 47th St., is the new business venture and passion project of Sean Mahoney of La Grange and Ike Orcutt of Geneva.

When they open to the public – tentatively set for Dec. 6 – they’ll offer four-styles of their unique beers available for tasting throughout the Chicago area and at their tap house/brewery in Lyons.

“We really wanted it to be

Basically, you can sip your suds at the bar or a table in the front of the brewery in full view of the process going on behind the bar.

The two got their start, like many microbrewers, by

first playing around at home.

Orcutt, who will serve as head brewer, was inspired by his trips to breweries like Two Brothers in Warrenville and decided to try his hand at making his own.

“The first beer I made was dreadful,” Orcutt laughed as he recalled his first foray into the beer scene. “But it made

me want to do better. I’m always trying to do something new and better.”

Mahoney also got interested in homebrewing when he began making beer at his design studio in Chicago. About a year ago, the two crossed paths through mutual friends and began swapping suds.

“I thought, ‘these are great,’” Mahoney said of Orcutt’s products. “This is definitely something I could get behind.”

Both men said they always been “do-ers” and the idea of opening their own brewery came as naturally as their

In a special way, we want to thank the parishioners of these congregations: St. Barbara, Holy Covenant, MCC, St. Louise de Marillac, St. John of the Cross, Christ Presbyterian Church, the Village Church of La Grange Park, St. Michael Lutheran, Holy Apostles Greek Orthodox Church, First Congregational Church, UCC, New Apostolic Church and the First United Methodist Church of La Grange.

we manage to feed the poor in our midst and I am so thankful for every one of these fine churches.

Many community organizations also support the pantry, including Riverside Brookfield High School. Congress Park School, CSA Fraternal Life, Lodge Yankee Jungmann, La Grange Park Police Department, Brookfield Chamber of Commerce, Century of Progress Bila Hora #231, and all the various St. Vincent de Paul societies.

We would also like to thank Tom Carlson, the U.S. Postal Service, our local Boy Scout troops and all who contributed by sponsoring a local food drive. I am thankful that feeding the poor crosses the borders of individual groups and villages and concerns us all.

We also wish to thank three area businesses that were

instrumental in our success.

The La Grange Park Jewel/Osco collects donations on our behalf to purchase turkey dinners for our neighbors at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Dennis Tischler, of Tischler’s in Brookfield, donates year round to our pantry from his own pockets.

He asks his shoppers to buy meals for the poor each time they shop, supplies us with the foods we need at cost and gives us paper bags to distribute the food.

Trader Joe’s also supplies us with paper bags. I am so thankful for everything you do for the least of us.

Thank you again for your generosity. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season.

Student attendance is something that we record each day for two very important reasons. One, to report to parents the amount of instructional time that each student loses during the school year, and two, for funding purposes.

Common sense tells us there is a positive relationship between the time students spend in class and their academic success. Because of the high absentee rate in our district, I would like to share some alarming research that illustrates the COMMUNITY consequences of poor daily VOICE attendance.

Michael In a recent study, researchKuzniewski ers found that “There is a significant relationship between student attendance and student achievement.” The correlation of student attendance and student achievement is strong, with the most significant relationship occurring at the ninth grade level, as the researchers compared attendance and achievement rates. When students attend and participate in class regularly, it leads to more instructional time for each student.

In another study, data on attendance shows clearly that missing school matters. The analysis conducted by the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University revealed that for the high school class of 2010, approximately 88 percent of students with good attendance – missing fewer than five days – throughout high school graduated, compared to the 24 percent graduation rate of students who missed 18 or more days on average per school year.

Another study followed sixth-grade students through graduation and found that only 36.4 percent of Baltimore’s chronically absent students graduated from high school. While another study of Chicago Public Schools revealed that students who missed between 15 to 19 days of school in a year had a graduation rate of 21 percent, and only 9 percent of students who missed 20 to 24 school days graduated. Clearly absenteeism is a huge obstacle to student achievement.

While student achievement is our primary focus, so is the revenue necessary to provide quality instruction. Schools such as ours rely heavily on funding that is generated by daily student attendance. We staff our schools, purchase goods and services, and cook meals based on the number of students who are enrolled. We receive funding only for those who actually attend.

If a student misses school, the school is still paying for these resources even though the student is absent. However, the school does not receive the funding due to the absence. As a community, we all can play a role to ensure good daily attendance.

Why don’t they do it?

If Obamacare is the law of the land and is supposed to be so great, someone please tell me why our president and Congress have exempted themselves out of it.

You do need insurance To the caller of “Not a good solution,” who suggested that it would be cheaper to pay the penalty for not having insurance and continue to use the ER for health care – I have very good insurance. I have had to visit the ER several times, and I could tell you, I would hate to have to depend on the ER doctors for my health care. I have known of two cases where they had to be hospitalized and were released too soon because they had no insurance. Both died within days. If you don’t have anything else, you do need insurance.

Mark Pinhasovich, an Ohio native who recently moved to Chicago and the at-home 10th season winner of “Biggest Loser” will be on hand for the YMCA’s yearly holiday fundraiser. The

But their plans don’t stop at a handful of styles. As they begin producing, they plan to begin barrel-aging certain beers, creating seasonal specialties and eventually canning their product for retail sale, too.

“The Midwest has this really great, very innovative beer scene, and we’re just really excited to become a part of that,” Mahoney said.

They’ve already had a few chances; designing beers with the help of breweries

event benefits the Greater La Grange YMCA annual fund, which supports Special Olympics teams, scholarships for kids to attend summer camp and other programs.

Registration is $45 and includes a performance T-shirt, goodie bag, parking and admission to the zoo for the day.

Also included in the fee are a gear check service, chip timing and admission to a postrace party. Registration for the Kids Dash is $15 and includes a T-shirt.

The event offers free

babysitting for runners.

Strollers are allowed in the race, but participants who run or walk with them will be placed toward the back of the pack.

During the event, kids will have the chance to pet Santa’s live reindeer and visit with Santa himself, who will be present from 8 to 9:30 a.m.

The 5k begins at 8:30 a.m., and the Kids Dash starts at 9:30 a.m.

like Haymarket in Chicago and attending regional craft beer festivals. They recently showed off their product at the MAX Exposition Center in McCook at the annual Brew Moon Festival.

With his background in design, Mahoney will be designing the products marketing materials, labels and eventually cans as well. At this point, each style of beer has a unique “character” associated with it, which will make an appearance on the product.

“I’m kind of savoring the ideas right now,” Mahoney said. “With beer design, it’s fun, you can basically do anything you want.”

To start, each beer available at the tap house will cost $6, with carry out growler (jug of beer) options as well.

They expect the tap room to be open Thursdays through Sundays, with the hours to be announced later. You can bring your own food and Orcutt said he hopes to one day bring food trucks to the parking lot on the weekends.

“We just want it to be a really fun place where you can come for good conversation with friends,” Orcutt said.

“It’s basically everything we would be looking for in [a tap house].”

Eventually, they hope to offer public tours as well, maybe encouraging the next budding brewer to follow their path.

“We’ve definitely had a lot of help from people in the industry,” Mahoney said.

“Of course, we’d want to do the same thing for someone else.”

Restaurant reviews

Sample some 1960s style at Kitchen Eatery ELMHURST – Imagine an upscale 1960s diner, if that’s not a contradiction in terms.

Then add locally sourced, freshly prepared food. Combine with some good friends, and what you’ve got is a terrific meal at Kitchen Eatery.

Located right at the corner of Route 83 and St. Charles Road in Elmhurst, Kitchen Eatery is an oasis of calm at a busy intersection otherwise crowded with retail and banking institutions. With a delightfully colorful sign that you can’t miss, it welcomes hungry guests with a generous helping of ’60s style.

With wide booths, mod furnishings and a clean, well-lit atmosphere, Kitchen Eatery had me excited to sample its offerings on a recent evening, accompanied by two friends.

Once settled into our seats in a comfortable side dining room, I quickly identified that the steak quesadilla was something I had to try. Believe me, I was not disappointed, as the typically simple dish was served with a delectable salsa verde that I was more than happy to consume in its entirety.

Moving on to the main course, I doubled down on red meat by ordering the steak bowl, featuring seasoned grilled skirt steak atop two eggs (cooked any way you like; I opted for scrambled) and KE potatoes mixed with melted jack cheese, onions, bell peppers and mushrooms.

It was like a perfect dream of what breakfast every day would taste like if our arteries (and wallets) could sustain such a thing.

One of my friends opted for the grilled Scottish salmon, which comes with the vegetable of the day and herb-roasted potatoes. She asked if she could substitute french fries, and they were happy to oblige.

As someone who frequently orders fish, she’s not easy to please, but was more than satisfied with the filet here.

The other companion went for the steak salad, which tops a mix of arugula, roasted

The retro vibe of Kitchen Eatery’s logo is a perfect match for what you get inside – a kind of classy, 1960s diner feel, but much higher quality food than you’d expect from a typical diner.

Bose Soundlink Mini

$199 Sleek, compact and the best sound in its class, the ultra-compact wireless Bose Soundlink Mini will appeal to almost anyone on your list. This palm-sized speaker is easy to use with simple, clearly labeled buttons and includes a bundled charging cradle you can leave plugged in. It remembers up to six devices, so you’ll only need to sync each one once. bose.com

he hottest tech gifts are usually the most appreciated.

This season’s best gadgets include a watch that does much more than keep time, a small but mighty speaker and an ingenious desktop organizer.

Martian G2G smartwatch $249 With a retro look and an eye on the future, the Martian G2G is an analog watch with voice command technology. Once connected to Bluetooth, the G2G is a hands-free speakerphone that can display incoming text messages and emails with the tap of a button. The slightly rectangular G2G comes with colored faces and matching silicone bands, and black and white models that all look more stylish than geeky. martianwatches. com

3Doodler

Justick Desktop

$75 The size of a fat Cuban cigar, the 3Doodler is a handheld 3-D printer that works just like a regular pen — a pen that can draw 3-D objects. unlike other 3-D printers, the 3Doodler is price-point friendly at $75. Quite simple, but pretty brilliant, the 3Doodler is sort of like a hot glue gun with the ability to print a fine line of plastic.

Available for pre-order with shipment in February. the3doodler.com

$49.95 It’s a high-tech solution to a low-tech problem: Justick is the next generation’s bulletin, display and white board that will simplify work with electrostatic force. No pins, glue, magnets or tape required; just pop in some AA batteries and the electricity flowing through the surface attracts all kinds of paper, CDs and other objects. justick.com

Christmas Day has become a big day in the movie business. Many studios now release big-budget films on December 25th, and audiences have recently flocked to the theaters to see some of their favorite stars in films that opened on Christmas Day or shortly before. According to Box Office Mojo, an online movie publication and box office reporting service, no film has fared better on Christmas Day than “Sherlock Holmes,” which premiered on December 25, 2009, earning just under $25 million in its initial day onscreen. “Avatar,” the 2009 James Cameron film that would go on to gross $760 million in domestic receipts alone, holds the distinction of earning the second most money on Christmas Day, when it earned a little more than $23 million despite having already been out in the theaters one full week. The 2004 Ben Stiller film “Meet the Fockers” opened three days before Christmas but still managed to earn $19.5 million on Christmas Day. A pair of 2012 films, the latest big screen adaptation of “Les Miserables” ($18 million) and Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” ($15 million), round out the top five highest grossing films on Christmas Day. Numerous films are slated to open on December 25, 2013, including Stiller’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” and “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” starring Chris Pine and Kevin Costner.

Celebrate the joy of baking with holiday gifts inspired by “The Boss”

Cake Boss Covered Cookie Pan

Cake Boss Linzer Cookie Set

Cake Boss Winter Cake Kit

Cake Boss Professional Jelly Roll Pan

Cake Boss Holiday Cookie Jar

Cake Boss Cake Carrier

(MS) -- The holidays are a perfect time to indulge in treats and spread the joy of baking with gifts that encourage friends and family to discover their inner baker. This season, there’s more to choose from in the baking category with the launch of Cake Boss, an extensive line of more than 200 “Buddy approved” baking items designed in collaboration with Buddy Valastro, the star of TLC’s hit reality show, “Cake Boss.” Offered

by Meyer Corporation, U.S. in partnership with Discovery Communications, Cake Boss covers all the bases for baking, decorating, serving, and storing cakes and other desserts like a pro.

Here’s a “baker’s dozen” list of gift ideas and creative ways to be sweet on anyone who’s been extra good this year.

Gifts For the Artistic Baker: For avid bakers who enjoy expressing their creativity through baking, a gift of a Cake Boss Cake Kit ($29.99) includes everything needed to bake like the pros. Ideal for the holiday season, the Cake Boss Winter Cake Kit includes five stainless steel cutters (two holiday bulbs, a small circle, one tree and one reindeer), and five plastic plunge cutters (two holly leaves and three snowflakes) to create fun shapes in rolled fondant. A ribbon cutter helps cut fluted or straight decorative strips in fondant or gum paste, and stainless steel decorating tips in star and round shapes (combined with the kit’s disposable plastic piping bags) make it easy as pie to pipe borders and create icing designs. An instructional booklet is included to guide bakers each step of the way.

For Serious Cooks and Bakers: Professional quality bakeware does double duty for baking up delicious, savory recipes, as well as sweets. The Cake Boss Professional 13x18-inch Jelly Roll Pan ($17.99) holds up to the rigors of frequent use with heavy-duty aluminized steel, commercial-style folded construction, and reinforced wire rims. Ideal for baking flaky pastry appetizers, as well as roasts of all kinds, the Cake Boss Professional Jelly Roll Pan distributes heat fast and evenly, and won’t warp or bend. A unique quilted, light-colored nonstick surface promotes even airflow for pro-style results.

Family Friendly Gifts: Buying individual presents for each member of a family with children of different ages can end up being costly and time consuming. A family group gift is a practical solution that also can encourage spending time together. One idea is to put together a “Cookie and a Movie Night” gift package with a few innovative tools for baking cookies, your own favorite cookie recipe, a decadent hot chocolate mix, and a DVD for a classic family-friendly movie. For the cookie baking tools, the Cake Boss Linzer Cutters 6-Piece Set ($16.99) in “Classic” and “Holiday” styles make it fun to customize these scrumptious sandwich cookies.

The Cake Boss Beechwood Rolling Pin ($29.99) has just the right weight and size to roll out cookie dough with ease, and a wide assortment of Cake Boss Cookie & Fondant Cutters ($16.99) in fun shapes like Stars, Hearts, Daisies, Round and Square provide multiple ways to make cookies in varying sizes.

Cookies To-Go: Cookie exchange parties are a great way to get in the holiday spirit and sample some new recipes. Surprise the host by pairing your cookies with a gift of the Cake Boss Deluxe 10x15-inch Covered Cookie Pan ($16.99). Bake the cookies and transport them right in this innovatively designed pan. Helpful drop zones stamped on the surface ensure uniform-

ly sized cookies. Long-lasting nonstick on both the interior and exterior surfaces prevent cookies from sticking and speeds up cleaning time. Finally, wide handles with red silicone grips in fun rolling pin shapes, and a translucent, tight-locking cover, make this cookie pan perfect for transporting baked treats to and from get-togethers.

Teacher Treats: If you have school age children, don’t forget a special treat for their teachers. Sculpted in glossy ceramic to resemble a bow-wrapped gift, the colorful pink and brown Cake Boss “Present” Cookie Jar and the seasonally themed red and green Cake Boss “Holiday” Cookie Jar ($39.99 each) are sure to impress, especially when you include home-baked cookies inside. Print your recipe on a pretty card and add to the cookie jar to be sure it never goes empty!

Two-for-One Hostess Gifts: Be extra sweet to your holiday party host with a dual gift of both a dessert and the Cake Boss Cake Carrier ($39.99) used to handily transport it. Offered in four retro-inspired styles, each durable and easy-to-clean Cake Boss Cake Carrier is spacious enough to hold a standard 9-inch two-layer round cake, cheesecake, pie, or other treat. The lid latches tightly on both sides of the base to protect delicious treats while they’re in transit and keep tempted fingers away!

For The “Cake Boss” Wannabe: It’s fast and easy to bake intricate looking cakes like “the Boss” with the Cake Boss 6-Cup Cakelette Pan ($16.99). Available in five different molded designs -- Star, Heart, Groovy Girl, Circle and Square -- each Cake Boss Cakelette Pan makes six individual portion, tiered mini cakes that look like they came straight out of Carlo’s Bakery.

In addition to gifting, you can use the assorted pan designs to host a mini cake-decorating holiday party.

Guests can decorate their own “cakelette” with icings, sprinkles, colored sugars, and even fondant.

Stocking Stuffers and More Under $15: Affordable prep tools are great additions to a baking enthusiast’s stocking stuffer. They also work well as grab bag gifts and extra special toppers to ribbon wrapped presents.

The set of two Cake Boss Nylon Bowl Scrapers ($8.99), crafted in durable nylon edged with flexible silicone, ensure that every last bit of batter, buttercream, and sauce gets scraped out of bowls. The heat-resistant Cake Boss Scraping Spatula with Measurement Marks ($11.99) features a durable red silicone tool head with a convenient reference chart of measure equivalents for cups, ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons and milliliters. For more whimsy in the kitchen, the Cake Boss “My Kitchen My Rules” Spoonula ($9.99) with flexible red silicone head for mixing, stirring, and spooning, includes one of Buddy’s favorite catchphrases imprinted on it.

Gifts For The Unexpected: It’s a smart idea to keep a few prewrapped gifts on hand when you need a last minute token for a neighbor, friend or host. For example, pair the Cake Boss 4-Piece Measuring Spoons Set ($6.99) with a boxed gourmet mix for scones, and a small bottle of quality vanilla extract. Wrap everything in cellophane with a colorful bow for the perfect last-minute gift.

on the device. But a growing number of child-friendly tablets have entered the market, and such devices are designed to be more durable for children who have a tendency to drop and destroy things.

Those on the fence about whether or not to purchase a tablet for a child can consider these options. * The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is a tablet that comes with a selection of educational functions, games and e-books. The device allows parents to decide which apps can be accessed on the device and restrict use to certain periods of time. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids boasts a seven-inch screen and will run Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean. The front and rear facing cameras are considerably lower in quality than Samsung’s previous products, down to 3-megapixels and 1.3-megapixels, respectively. * The VTech InnoTab tailors apps to children in a compact device. The screen is just five inches in size, and the tablet comes packed with interactive e-books, learning games and other creative tools.

It also has a modest price tag for a child’s first foray into the world of tablets. * The LeapFrog Leappad Ultra is a kid’s learning tablet designed for children between the ages of four and nine. It comes with a seven-inch screen, Wi-Fi with kid-safe Web access and the ability to connect to a library of more than 800 educator-approved apps, books and more. * The nabi is an Android tablet that

is geared entirely toward kids. The nabi comes in several different incarnations (nabi Jr., nabi 2 and nabi XD) depending on the age of the child and the desired features. In July of 2013, Fushu, Inc., creator of the nabi tablet, was received the “Best Tablet 2013: For Kids” award from Laptop magazine for its nabi 2 device. * The Amazon Kindle Fire is quickly becoming a go-to option for parents interested in acclimating their children to a tablet. Less than half of the price of its biggest competitor, the Kindle Fire still allows kids to access a bevy of features.

Music, movies and Amazon’s ever-growing trove of e-books are just some of the features that make the Kindle Fire a popular choice. * Though small, the iPad mini has all of the features of a larger iPad but in a more kid-friendly size. Many parents prefer the iPad mini for their children because they have Apple products and appreciate being able to share with their kids apps and information among all of the devices.

Determining if a child is ready for a tablet is a difficult decision for parents, who must assess how well the child handles responsibility, toys and electronics in the home. Adults may opt for a more durable, less expensive tablet as an introduction to tablets for children and then gravitate toward more “adult” options as their children prove they can be responsible with the device.

Tablets are poised to grow more popular in the years to come, and many children are anxious to get their very own tablet. But many parents wonder if their kids are ready for a tablet and if such devices would make good gifts for their youngsters this holiday season.

According to a 2012 report from Pew Research, 22 percent of American adults now own some type of tablet, while In-Stat research estimates 65 percent of Americans, or more than 200 million people, will have a smartphone and/or tablet by 2015. According to a Fall 2012 report by the Media Technology Monitor, an estimated 26 percent of the Canadian population has a tablet, more than twice the amount of tablet owners just a year earlier.

As tablets become the device of choice, many different manufacturers have entered the tablet market, and children have begun to ask for tablets for holiday gifts, leaving parents wondering if their children are responsible enough to own a tablet that may cost several hundreds of dollars.

Price-wary parents should realize that tablet prices vary greatly depending

Great gifts for music fans usic remains an art form that evokes strong emotions and holds a special place in many a listener's heart. The nearly universal appeal of music makes it a great gift come the holiday season, when shoppers may not always know what to buy a loved one. The following are a few gift ideas that are sure to have your favorite music fan singing your praises this holiday season. * Concert tickets: Perhaps no gift makes music fans' hearts race more than tickets to see their favorite musicians perform. Your loved one probably has a favorite artist or someone he or she has long desired to see live. Look into that performer's tour dates to see if they are playing your area anytime soon. If they're playing just before the holiday season, don't hesitate to give this gift a little early.

The same approach should be taken if an artist will be in town within a day or two of Christmas or Chanukah. Giving the tickets early enables your loved one the chance to clear his or her schedule. * Musical instrument: It's never too early or too late to learn how to play a new instrument. Shoppers whose loved ones love a good rock-and-roll riff might find guitars make a great holiday gift, while those who can't stop playing air drums should enjoy finding a real drum set come the holidays. When buying guitars, shoppers should learn which hand their loved ones favor

M

* Music lessons: Lessons are the next logical step once a music fan has the instruments to work with. But even those without an instrument of their own can benefit from music lessons. For example, music lovers who want to learn piano can make use of lessons even if they don't have their own pianos at home. Lessons can be a great way for music lovers to gauge their skill levels before buying an expensive instrument. In addition, lessons can turn music lovers on to new instruments or new types of music they may never have considered previously. * Sound system: Advancements in technology have proven to be music to music lovers' ears. Music fans can now take advantage of crisp sound systems that make music that much more enjoyable. Sound systems come in many shapes and sizes, and they can vary significantly in regard to price. When purchasing a sound system as a holiday gift, look for one that's compatible with your loved one's existing components, such as a television or music player. * Streaming service membership: Unlike the days when music fans had to wait for local deejays to play their favorite songs on the radio, today's music fans can essentially create their own radio stations on their computers and even on their phones. Shoppers can buy their favorite music fans subscriptions to streaming services, such as Pandora or Spotify, and listeners can then tailor their own stations to include their favorite genres, artists or individual songs.

* Local merchants tend to be more knowledgeable about their products.

Large chain stores might have many employees working on the floor or behind the registers, but those employees are not always experts on the products being sold throughout the store. Local merchants tend to have less inventory and fewer employees, who often know a great deal about the products on the shelves. Some employees might even have developed the products being sold, and that knowledge can be put to use when uncertain shoppers are looking for the perfect gift for their loved ones. * Local merchants are more accessible. Arguably the biggest benefit of shopping locally for gifts is the proximity to home. Consumers who buy products from merchants within their community won’t have to travel far to do their shopping, nor will they need to gas up the car if the item needs to be returned or exchanged. Some local merchants may even be within walking distance of home, making a shopping trip even more accessible.

Consumers often find shopping local when buying gifts for family and friends is a great way to obtain more satisfying and reliable customer service.

Christmas in Elmhurst

FEATURED HOLIDAY PRODUCTS |

T

he average adult must shop for gifts for friends or family members several times over the course of a typical year.

Birthdays, holidays and anniversaries are often the driving force behind such excursions, but some people will buy a gift for a loved one even if there is no special occasion attached.

When buying gifts for those we love, many consumers hope to find something unique. But unique items can be hard to find at the local shopping mall, where national chain stores tend to dominate. That reality highlights just one of the many benefits of shopping locally. * Local merchants tend to have more unique merchandise. A national chain store on one side of the country is not much different from its counterpart on the opposite coast. The stores’ layouts are likely identical and so is their inventory. Unlike such corporate giants, local merchants aren’t mass-producing their items, and chances are the items sold by local merchants are one-of-akind. Such items make for more unique gifts that recipients might find more thoughtful than an item they can find at larger chain stores. * Local merchants often provide more satisfying customer service. Larger chains tend to rely on automated systems to handle many of their customer service calls. Some consumers may never even speak to a real person when they call a customer service line, while others may first have to answer several automated questions before finally being connected to a real person. Local merchants tend to handle their own customer service, and consumers who have a concern or question about a product often speak directly with the store’s owner. That sense of direct connection gives consumers some peace of mind and can make them more comfortable when making their purchases.

Staying home for the holidays can save families a significant amount of time during this busy time of year.

Finding time during the holiday season erhaps no time of year is as busy as the holiday season, when social engagements and holiday shopping combine to dominate so much of what is normally our free time. Additionally, holiday travel and late nights spent at work to make up for lost time also cut into our free time, leaving many people in search of ways to add more hours to the day.

Though there’s no way to make a day last longer, there are ways to save some time this holiday season. * Go it alone. Holiday shopping can be very time consuming, but shoppers who decide to shop alone may find themselves more productive and focused on the task at hand.

Rather than going from store to store and checking items off multiple shopping lists, shoppers who shop singularly can devote all of their attention to their own lists. * Shop online. Another way to save time when shopping for the holidays is to shop online. This saves you the time it takes to drive to and from the mall and walk around multiple stores, all the while saving you from the often frustrating and time-consuming experience of finding a parking space. In addition, you can shop online at any time of day. So rather than just eating lunch at your desk on your lunch hour or spending the last hour before you go to bed for the night idling away on the couch, you can make more efficient use of that time by doing some holiday shopping. * Plan ahead. Whether shopping for holiday gifts, taking the family to buy a Christmas tree or organizing a holiday dinner with friends, the more you can plan ahead of the holiday season the less time you will waste once the season hits full swing. For example, when choosing a weekend

P

to go Christmas tree shopping, inform others a few weeks in advance and let them know you want to go early to avoid crowds. This saves you time and might just help you land one of the best trees on the lot.

The same principle of planning can be applied to other aspects of the holiday season as well. Planning a meal early allows you to gradually stock up on menu items, saving you the hassle of rushing to the store at the last minute or planning a menu in the days before the party when you will already have enough on your plate. * Don’t shy away from shortcuts when hosting holiday dinners.

Hosting a holiday dinner is a big undertaking, one that often finds hosts spending a significant amount of time in the kitchen. But hosts can save time by taking some shortcuts regarding the menu. For instance, when hosting an especially large meal, don’t be afraid to buy some premade side dishes from a local grocery store or buy a bakery cake rather than whipping up your own homemade dessert. Guests will understand if you cut some corners in an effort to save some time, and the food will likely be just as delicious. * Stay home. Travel is a big commitment come the holiday season, but what about staying home this season? If the time commitment of traveling is something you truly want to avoid this year, invite some friends and family over to your home instead.

You might be more busy on the day of the holiday, but you will save yourself the travel days you usually build into the holiday season. Parents of young children might prefer to stay home so they can create their own unique holiday memories, while those without children might just appreciate some peace and quiet during this hectic time of year.

“It’s a little different when you can score. That was it really. If we had a chance to do it all over again I wouldn’t press [Fenwick].”

Tony Martinucci Head coach

BWL

LA GRANGE – Morton’s boys basketball team didn’t have a Thanksgiving hangover. In fact, the Mustangs had quite the opposite over the weekend.

Morton struggled in many facets of the game in a blowout loss against Fenwick in the season opener on Nov. 27. The Mustangs lost 77-59 in a game where the Friars jumped ahead by 12 at the end of the first quarter and led by double digits the rest of the way.

“We missed so many layups that we dug ourselves a hole early and we missed free throws,” Morton head coach Tony Martinucci said. “The way they call the game now, you got to make your free throws.”

The Mustangs were 9-for24 from the free throw line against the Friars. Martinucci said the only positive was that the team didn’t quit and kept playing hard until the end.

After Thanksgiving, Morton rattled off three straight wins in three days. The run began on Friday when the Mustangs beat tournament host Lyons Township 82-79 in overtime with 26 points from Weisner Perez.

It was the Lions’ only loss at their own tournament. LT went on to win the tournament via tiebreaker after LT, Morton and Fenwick all went 2-1 in the four-team round-robin field.

Morton finished with a 71-42 win over Argo on Saturday. The next day they headed to Curie for the Team Rose Shootout and beat Homewood-Flossmoor 63-60. The Vikings are traditionally one of the best teams in the state and feature 6-foot-8 center Tai Odiase, who signed with Illinois-Chicago.

Martinucci still lamented a cold-shooting start and the missed free throws, but Fenwick’s bevy of quality, quick guards had no trouble running with the Mustangs.

Morton was able to go to zone against H-F and got big performances from guard Greg Carter and forward Weisner Perez.

“It’s a little different when you can score,” Martinucci said. “That was it really. If we had a chance to do it all over again I wouldn’t press [Fenwick].

“We just did a better job of putting the kids where they could be successful and Greg made shots. Weisner’s really going to be good. Greg made his shots and that opened it up Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com for Weisner.”

Colmery started his playing days in a house league in Western Springs and followed his two older brothers to Nazareth. From the time he started playing football at Naz, he knew his goal was to play Division I football. Purdue fit in a couple more ways as well.

“I was really able to relate with the coaches really well,” Colmery said. “I really liked their new staff. They went

through a tough season this year, but I think that’s a good opportunity because they’re playing a lot of freshmen right now and sometimes they say that Rome wasn’t built in a day.

“I feel like there’s definitely an upside at Purdue and I think we’re going to be able to do great things. Playing in the Big Ten has always been my dream. It’s a big stage. I’m really looking forward to that.”

Cowboys, Bears going in opposite directions Hub Arkush

The Dallas Cowboys will come calling Monday Night at Soldier Field in front of a national TV audience, traveling a course that could be the exact opposite of where the Bears are heading.

After jumping out to a 3-0 and 4-2 start to the season, the Bears have lost four of their last six, including division games to the Lions and Vikings.

The Cowboys, on the other hand, come in at 7-5 and winners of five of their last seven, including division wins over the Giants, Eagles and Redskins.

While the Bears are running away from the playoffs, the Cowboys just might be running into them.

Dallas has struggled to run the ball all season, ranking just 27th in rushing, but they are 15th in the league in

passing. Tony Romo is second in the league in avoiding interceptions, and the Cowboys are eighth protecting the passer and fourth in scoring, just ahead of the sixth-place Bears.

On defense, the Cowboys have been awful, dead last in the league in yards allowed, 27th vs. the run, 31st vs. the pass and 22nd in points allowed.

Statistically, the Cowboys and Bears have a lot in common.

They also have a lot in common on the defensive line, where each has one of the best players in the game – DeMarcus Ware for the Cowboys and Julius Peppers with the Bears. Beyond those two, both clubs have been devastated by injuries.

Dallas has had 19 different players get reps on their defensive line this season.

One constant for the Cowboys, though, is Romo, who’s taken every snap at quarterback this season and is again playing at a very high level.

Romo has completed 64.8 percent of his 440 attempts for 3,140 yards, 24 touchdowns and only seven inter-

herma Tru Doors

ceptions. His passer rating of 97.3 is eighth in the NFL, oddly right behind Josh McCown, who is seventh at 103.6.

As luck would have it and as badly as the Bears’ run defense needs a break, the Cowboys are coming off their best rushing game of the season, racking up 144 yards on 30 carries Thanksgiving Day against the Raiders.

DeMarco Murray is the bellcow and, in addition to 63 yards on 17 carries against the Raiders, he notched three touchdowns on the ground.

The Cowboys really only have two receivers who scare you, but Jason Witten is a future Hall of Famer at tight end, and at 6-2 and 222 pounds, Dez Bryant is one of the only receivers in the league who can match Brandon Marshall’s production.

Since the beginning of 2011, Bryant has caught 223 passes for 3,206 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Dallas’ offensive line is average at best, but left tackle Tyron Smith is athletic enough to battle Julius Peppers. Former Northern Illinois Huskie Doug Free, at right tackle, could be too

much for Shea McClellin.

In addition to their struggle to keep defensive linemen healthy, the Cowboys also have been without their second best defensive player, middle linebacker Sean Lee, who’s been out the past three weeks with a hamstring injury. But he plans on returning versus the Bears.

Brandon Carr has been a solid free agency acquisition at one cornerback spot, but Morris Claiborne, who Dallas traded up to draft in the first round last year, is suffering a bit of sophomore slump. Dallas also has really struggled at safety, where J.J. Wilcox and Barry Church are the starters.

Dallas’ special teams are among the league’s best in all categories and most of their special teamers were coached until this year by Bears Special Teams Coach and Assistant Head Coach Joe Decamillis.

This game has all the makings of a shootout, much like the Cowboys’ 3130 loss to Detroit five weeks ago, and it’s one the Bears have to have to retain any hope of a trip to the playoffs.

dling teams – the Packers (Mason Crosby) and Ravens (Justin Tucker). Denver, the league’s highest-scoring team, has the league’s fifth-highest scoring kicker in Matt Prater.

The high-flying Saints have the No. 11 kicker in Garrett Hartley.

The same challenge exists in selecting a fantasy defense.

The best defenses aren’t always the best defenses in fantasy. For much of the season, Houston had one of the NFL’s top-ranked defenses, but it ranked dead last in terms of fantasy production.

The Cowboys have one of the

league’s worst defenses – they are ranked No. 31 against the pass – but they are No. 7 in fantasy points.

Are there defenses or kickers on your league’s waiver wire that can help deliver a championship to your team?

Let’s start with kickers.

Blair Walsh, Garrett Hartley and Caleb Sturgis are likely available, but all three face a brutal schedule in the upcoming weeks. Stay away. Adam Vinatieri has lit it up two of the last three weeks. He may not be available, but even if he is, the Colts are at Cincinnati this week and at Kansas City in three weeks. He does have a nice matchup at home against Houston sandwiched in between.

Three likely available kickers have ideal upcoming matchups. Dan Carpenter of Buffalo is at Tampa, at Jacksonville and home against Miami. The Chiefs’ Ryan Succop

is at Washington, at Oakland and home versus Indianapolis. Nick Novak of San Diego is at home versus the Giants, travels to Denver and is at home against the Raiders in week 16.

It might be a bit tougher to find an available defense.

Arizona is available in 56 percent of ESPN leagues.

They have St. Louis at home, travel to Tennessee and then travel to Seattle. The first two games look like nice matchups, but you can’t rely on them in Week 16 in Seattle.

The Cowboys are available in 73 percent of ESPN leagues and have some intriguing matchups. They face the Bears on Monday night.

In Week 15, they have the Packers at home. It’s a great matchup for them if Aaron Rodgers does not play. In Week 16, they face another struggling team when they travel to Washington.

Kickers and defenses have become an afterthought in fantasy football.

There’s good reason for this: Because of most scoring systems, a solid output from your kicker or defense – say, 11 points – would be a disappointment from your starting running back or front-line receiver.

Still, having the right kicker and defense can be the difference between a fantasy championship and an early round playoff exit.

There’s a certain editor of a certain media company (rhymes with “claw”) who can tell you all about the importance of a fantasy defense.

We squared off in 2006 with our league’s championship on the line. Headed into the night game, he held a 30-point advantage. With nothing

but my defense remaining, the game was all but over.

That evening, Rex Grossman delivered several balls to the Green Bay defense … thus delivering a championship to yours truly.

For the most part, picking the right defense and/or kicker is a crapshoot. Some owners use the strategy of playing week-to-week matchups, picking their defense and/or kicker from the waiver wire.

The problem with this strategy – especially as it relates to your defense – is that you are continually selecting the best of the worst.

The conundrum with selecting a kicker is that the highest-scoring offenses don’t always produce the best fantasy kickers. The top-scoring fantasy kickers are Stephen Gostkowski (Patriots) and Steven Hauschka (Seahawks).

OK, that makes sense, but Nos. 3 and 4 are from mid-

by anne raih More Content Now

On tHe mOrning Of dec. 7, 1941, Japanese planes cruised across the Paciic Ocean and attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The U.S. had been blocking Japan’s ability to trade across the Paciic, and the Japanese, who were at war with China, were looking to gain a stronger foothold there. By attacking the U.S. leet of ships, the Japanese hoped that they would have control of the Paciic.

On the morning of the attack, Japanese ighter jets dropped bombs and battered the entire base, killing 2,500 people and injuring 1,000. This surprise attack destroyed the U.S. naval leet, including eight battleships and 200 airplanes, and sent the nation into shock.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the American people the following day, Dec. 8, telling them that “the United States of America

was suddenly and deliberately attacked.” America was launched into World War II, one of the largest and bloodiest wars of the 20th century, and ighting stretched from Europe to the Paciic. The world didn’t emerge from that war until 1945.
