Club remembers Newtown The Kiwanis Club of Elmhurst makes a $1,825.54 donation to Elmhurst School District 205 during a luncheon Tuesday at Francesca’s Amici in Elmhurst.

First Ward Alderman Diane Gutenkauf (right) explains her reasons for opposing the city’s 2014 budget at the Dec. 16 City Council meeting. Ward Alderman Kevin York, passed 8 to 6. Gutenkauf, one of the aldermen who voted against the additional $40,000, had argued that if the city wanted to expand an area of the budget, it should benefit a city department first and suggested the

Bond refunding approved The council also unanimously approved the refunding of $8,950,000 in general obligation bonds. The city accepted a bid from William Blair & Co. for a 2.06 percent interest rate. The sale resulted in a $861,302.50 savings to city taxpayers. The new interest rate is almost half of the previous one, which was about 4 percent. “The AAA helped on this bond issue. It probably saved you $30,000 [or] $40,000,” said Kevin McCanna, president of Speer Financial, Inc. which took bids on the city bonds Monday morning. McCanna was referencing the city’s new AAA credit rating, up from AA+. “What we’ve done is we’ve taken existing debt, reissued bonds at a lower interest rate, thereby saving us a lot of money on paying off that debt,” Gutenkauf said.

ed new construction EAV to be about $22 million, the district levied for a total of $45 million in new construction EAV because the amount of new homes built in 2013 is still unknown. “The EAV lags the market in that it is based on the sales of homes in 2010, 2011 and 2012,” Whelton said. “The additional amount provides for the possibility of underestimating new construction.”

ELMHURST – The tax levy passed by the District 205 Board of Education on Tuesday will cost the owner of a $300,000 Elmhurst home an additional $107.27 next year.

Chris Whelton, assistant superintendent for finance and operations, explained that the district estimates the actual tax extension will be closer to $102 million after the county determines the actual amount of new construction within the district during 2013. “Most taxpayers will see an increase of 2.23 percent,” Whelton said of the new levy.

ELMHURST – The Elmhurst City Council approved a 2014 budget with a $57.6 million general fund at Monday’s meeting, but not without disagreement. “I’m not supporting this budget because I can’t support the council’s budgeting behavior,” said First Ward Alderman Diane Gutenkauf, one of the two aldermen who voted against the budget. The budget passed with a 12 to 2 vote. She referred to the council’s approval of a motion to add $40,000 to the city’s community grant budget during a Committee of the Whole meeting Dec. 2. The additional funds taken from the fund balance increased the community grant budgeted funds, which are given to non-governmental groups throughout the year, from $94,000 to $134,000. The motion, made by 4th

Dec. 2 meeting to add $40,000 to the Elmhurst Historical Museum’s budget was considered and voted down. Third Ward Alderman Michael Bram also voted against the 2014 budget, but for a different reason than Gutenkauf. “We as a council chose community grants above concrete street reconstruction,” Bram said. The budget includes $121,755,731 in total revenues and $151,094,643 in total expenditures. It also follows the calendar year. The difference between revenues and expenditures is made up out of the fund balance or bond proceeds. Third Ward Alderman Dannee Polomsky acknowledged that the budget won’t make everyone happy, but supported it. “There are some portions where I would have liked to see more funding and others where I would have liked to

ELMHURST – The City Council approved a report to suspend new applications to the city’s rear yard drain cost-sharing program while the Public Works and Buildings Committee reviews the program. The council voted 9 to 5 at Monday’s meeting. “This is not saying that we are terminating the program at this time,” committee member Michael Bram said. “This is not saying that we’re doing any modifications to this program, and it is not saying that we are going to keep the program. That evaluation needs to be done.” The program allows residents to apply for a reimbursement from the city for 50 percent of the cost of installing a yard drain and connecting sump pumps or downspouts to the storm sewer up to $1,000. Suspending the program will allow any current applicants to continue with the program, but new applicants won’t be considered until the committee completes its review of the program. Residents will still be allowed to install rear yard drains or connect downspouts and sump pumps to the storm sewer with the proper city permits, but at their own cost. Committee Chairman Jim Kennedy did not want to suspend the program, but explained that, either way, the committee plans to evaluate the program and present any modifications to the the council by mid-March. Vice Chairman Chris Healy also argued not to suspend the policy. He said it has been in place for many years and hesitated to suspend what he considered a good policy. “We can say, ‘Well, we did something [about stormwa-

By the numbers Homes that have used the cost-sharing program in the past 12 months: 16: Completed 1: Pending construction 12: Outstanding estimates

ter],’” Healy said. “I won’t feel that way.” While Healy didn’t agree with suspending the program to send a message that the city is taking action on stormwater management, committee member Michael Bram said that was the point. “It sends a message to the residents of Elmhurst, ‘Yes, we heard your concerns,’” Bram said. It was a message three Elmhurst residents who live near Pine Street wanted to hear. They supported suspending and even completely eliminating the program during the public forum portion of Monday’s meeting. Those residents explained that rear yard drains may help homeowners who have water pool in their yards, but when the city experiences a storm, those same drains over tax the storm sewer and contribute to what some residents called “catastrophic flooding” in their homes. “I think it’s appropriate to suspend a program that’s main reason for creation is for nuisance flooding,” Bram said. First Ward Alderman Marti Deuter pointed out that suspending the program while the committee continues to evaluate it does not mean the council is opposed to the program. “I don’t think a vote for this means we should not be supporting rear yard drains,” Deuter said. The date for a final vote has not been announced, but it won’t come until after the new year.

Bakery offers free cupcakes By MARI GRIGALIUNAS mgrigaliunas@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Edriss Alexis has played his signature blue acoustic guitar for patrons of the Courageous Bakery in Elmhurst a handful of times since February. Less than a year after he first stepped into the bakery dedicated to raising funds and awareness for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Ride Janie Ride Foundation, Alexis wanted to say thank you to the bakery. “I’ve gotten to know the people,” Alexis said. He approached bakery owner Laura Pekarik and offered to play a December concert and buy everyone whose birthday was the same day as the concert a cupcake. “I was just thinking with the holidays coming…I figured I would reach out to her and her customers,” said Alexis, a Park Forest musician. Pekarik appreciated Alexis’ offer, but decided to take it one step further and offer everyone with a December birthday a cupcake on the house Saturday, the day of Alexis performance. “I think it was a great gesture to offer to pay for the cupcakes,” Pekarik said. She started Cupcakes for Courage after he sister, Kathryn, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphoma in 2010. Pekarik likes the idea of birthday cupcakes and thinks she’ll continue it in some way from now on. She simply likes the idea of bringing people a little piece of frosted joy during the busy and cold holiday season. “I’m not looking to get recognition,” Pekarik said of Saturday’s event. “It’s more for the people.”

ELMHURST – Paul Krauter of Elmhurst never ran more than a few miles until two years ago. When his cousin, Tom Verachtert, who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) four years ago, and his wife, Dawn, heard that Krauter planned to Paul run two marathons and an ul- Krauter tra-marathon in three months in an effort to raise money and awareness for ALS, they were shocked. Dawn Verachtert said they were very touched, but also surprised because until a few years ago, Krauter wasn’t known for his athleticism. Yet, on Dec. 7 he completed a 50-mile ultra-marathon. After reading Running on Empty by ultra-marathon runner Marshall Ulrich just because he thought it looked

interesting, Krauter felt inspired. He soon fell in love with the solitude running provided him. He used the time to decompress and think. His cousin’s condition weighed on him. “ALS is just such a God-awful disease,” Krauter said. “You almost feel hopeless.” Krauter knew that many people run to raise money and awareness for various causes, but he wanted to really make a difference for those with ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. “I don’t think people realize there’s no medication out there for ALS,” Krauter said. Dawn Verachtert explained she feels many people don’t focus their support on ALS because there isn’t a cure. If someone made a new discovery or breakthrough, it might draw attention; but for now, the Les Turner ALS Foundation provides support for the Verachterts. Krauter thought if he set an ambitious goal, he might be able to raise more money and educate more people about ALS, a terminal neuro-

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps CITY COUNCIL, D-205 MEETINGS 5 things you may have missed to be Aware of Weeks Before SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Listing Your Home for Sale Elmhurst - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In

most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you’re looking for, and knowing what you’re looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled “11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection” has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-888-760-3069 and enter 1003 You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Still, DuPage County will only extend the increase to what is allowable under the actual EAV and tax extension, no matter what amount the district levies. The district receives these numbers from the county in late March. The district then collects the tax in two payments, one in June and one in September. “The tax levy is a request, a placeholder until the county determines the final EAV rates for new construction and the 2013 extension,” Whelton said. The Board of Education also held a public hearing on the levy Tuesday during which only one resident voiced his opposition to raising taxes. Whelton explained that, by law, a public hearing is required for any levy that exceeds 105 percent of the previous year’s tax extension. Even with the generous estimate of new construction, the district’s levy was only a 4.2 percent increase over last year. Board President Jim Collins said the levy was conservative by overestimating the tax increase. “There’s most likely not 45 million in new construction,” Collins said.

ELMHURST – In her funky, gold-studded, red shoes, the new Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce and Industry believes much like her favorite red-shoed heroine, there’s no place like home. “Once I became an intern at the chamber, it just suddenly felt like home,” Julie Miller said about Elmhurst. The prof e s s i o n a l – Julie dressed from Miller head to ankle in black, white and gray – isn’t an Elmhurstnative. She grew up in Plymouth, Ind., and moved to Springfield a few years before landing

Residence: Elmhurst Education: Elmhurst College Occupation: Office manager and paralegal Interests: Hunting geese, brewing beer and playing volleyball

at Elmhurst College. John Quigley, the chamber’s president and CEO, predicted Miller would find her place in town. “There are interns that I look at and I say I wouldn’t be surprised if they plant roots here and she was one of those,” Quigley said. Quigley first met Miller when he wrote a news release for Elmhurst College about her joining the volleyball team. In November 1999, Quigley left his communication position at the college to serve as president of the chamber.

DERMATOLOGY UPDATE Presented by

Todd T. Davis, M.D. Board Certified Dermatologist

PREADOLESCENT ACNE While it was once thought that the lower end of the age range for adolescents to begin experiencing pimples was about 12, acne is now common in children ages 7 to 12. Faced with this new reality, a team of physicians has formulated new guidelines that they hope will lead to a better age-appropriate standard of care for children as young as 7. While most acne drugs are prescribed off-label, there is one exception in the form of a gel with a retinoid and benzoyl peroxide that the FDA recently approved for use in children as young as 9. A recent study shows that dermatologists prescribe topical retinoids more frequently than primary care

Q: A:

perspective of the chamber. “There’s only one other person with as much hands

on experience over the past 14 years, and that’s me,” Quigley said.

Ask a Pro With the winter weather switly upon us, do I need to worry about frozen pipes? Frozen pipes start to wreak havoc when temps hover around or below single digits for an extended period of time. Drats also expedite freezing conditions as well.

Although it can be diicult to prevent frozen pipes from all areas of the home (especially those with limited or no access), there are some precautions you can take. Never shut of the thermostat, even if the home will be unoccupied for an extended period of time. Make sure all garden hoses are disconnected from outside faucets. If you have plumbing above or adjacent to a garage, avoid keeping the door opened for extended periods of time.

Mike Borowski Vice President

If you have water lines running through a cabinet to a faucet on an outside wall, you may want to leave the doors open to allow warmer air to circulate. Inspect for draty areas of home (typically in basement) and provide adequate insulation. Homes that have plumbing on outside walls or plumbing that overhangs beyond foundation are especially susceptible to freezing. It may be necessary to allow a trickle of water to run out of these ixtures to prevent water from freezing. If you leave any water running, be sure that the drain to that ixture is lowing properly so it doesn’t overlow if let unattended. If pipes in your home do become frozen, it is not a good idea to leave unattended. When water freezes, it is not uncommon for the pipes to split open if the frozen water has nowhere to go. Once thawed, the split in the pipe can leak water under pressure and cause extensive damage in a short amount of time. If the above items don’t prevent or solve your frozen pipe dilemma, it is best to call a professional plumber who can thaw the lines and who is prepared to repair any leaks that arise.

Sheehan & Associates, where she was hired the summer she refused to leave Elmhurst. Also a member of the Elmhurst Jaycees, Miller enjoys planning the Distinguished Service Award banquet. Miller said she enjoys calling recipients who have been nominated by their peers for their service work because they’re always so surprised. “I still talk to nearly all my recipients,” Miller said. Miller is one of four interns to be elected to the Board of Directors, but the first to gain the chairman position. She’s one of eight women to chair the board in the past 95 years.

Shortly after, he offered Miller an internship. Although she says she’s unbeatable at Wizard of Oz trivia, Miller lives her life with much more caution than the pigtailed protagonist and her assorted companions. “I don’t do many things by the seat of my pants,” Miller said. “I evaluate the pros and cons and then make a decision.” But three days before she graduated from Elmhurst College in 2000, Miller called the political fellowship that expected her in Springfield in just three days and told them she was staying in Elmhurst. “That truly was on a whim,” Miller said. She never regretted the decision, even when she found herself days away from graduation with no job, place to live or plan for that matter. Instead of panic, she felt relief. “It felt wonderful to have this weight off my shoulders,” Miller said. She immediately went to her internship and the chamber to inform her boss she wasn’t moving after all. To Miller’s delight, the chamber extended her paid internship until the beginning of the fall semester. Before the internship ended, Miller accepted a job offer from Patrick T. Sheehan & Associates.

MAKING THE MOST OF WHAT YOU HAVE Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of permanent impairment of reading and fine vision among people aged 65 years and older. It results from changes in the macula, the portion of the retina responsible for clear, sharp vision. Early symptoms of the disease range from an inability to see details or vivid colors to distorted vision in which objects appear to be the wrong size or shape and straight lines appear wavy or crooked. While there are procedures for staving off vision loss, ultimately the disease can lead to complete loss of central vision. In this event, there are visual aids available for enhancing remaining peripheral vision. They include high-powered spectacle-mounted lens systems, magnifiers, and telescopic lenses for distance viewing. Because people 65 and older are an increasingly larger percentage of the general population, vision loss from macular degeneration is a growing problem. Experience, commitment to technology, and a genuine concern for patient welfare enable all of the doctors and highly qualified staff at SKOWRON EYE CARE to work together to consistently deliver quality, affordable eye care. To schedule an appointment, please give us a call today. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision. P.S. “Low vision” means that even with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery, people find everyday tasks difficult to do.

D-205 embraces behavioral support Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive, schoolwide approach to establishing the behavioral supports and social culture necessary for all students to achieve social, emotional and academic success. As a MultiTiered System of Support model, PBIS provides staff with a problem-solving process and a continuum of support to enhance the capacity of schools to effectively educate all students. PBIS is a decision-making framework that guides selection, integration and implementation of evidence-based behavioral practices for improving academic and behavior outcomes for all students. Key PBIS components at the schoolwide level include: Behavioral expectations are defined and taught; COMMUNITY appropriate behaviors are VOICE acknowledged; behavioral Meg errors are corrected proacSchnoor tively; program evaluations and adaptations are made by a team; administrators provide active and ongoing support Implemented in over 18,000 schools nationally, the PBIS model is in place in more than 1,700 schools in Illinois. An essential component of the PBIS process is active data-based decision making. Schoolwide Information System (SWIS) is a highly-regarded data management system. It is used to access data to guide efforts around schoolwide implementation and students’ behavioral outcomes. SWIS data is used for building-based action planning around schoolwide needs, as well as to determine which students need additional supports. Elmhurst 205 has opted out of sharing information with other districts. PBIS is a systems change process and takes approximately three to five years to develop and implement. District 205 is in the second year of PBIS implementation in the middle schools, in the first year at the elementary schools. York Community High School has initiated their planning year. Emerson Elementary School recently held a celebration of reaching their PBIS goal. Since the beginning of school, students were “caught being good” and earned SOAR tickets leading to the reward of an all-school dance party. They filled the jar in both October and November. In October, members of the Churchville Middle School CHAMPS/PBIS team presented their poster project titled “Churchville Chargers: Charging Up Positive Support” at the National PBIS Leadership Forum. Additionally, school social worker Megan McCarthy was selected to co-present, along with Jennifer Phillips of SASED and Kevin Moore of the University of Oregon, on the application of a Positive Family Support model.

Meg Schnoor is the District 205 assistant superintendent for student services.

elevation changes on a dirt trail course that overlooks the Pacific Ocean at times. Although Krauter knew it would be the most difficult of the three races, he said the Endurance Challenge was harder than he expected. Still, he finished in 12 hours and 45 minutes, including an accidental four-mile detour, and raised about $2,700 for the Les Turner Foundation. Most importantly, he wants to run another ultra-marathon. “So much of it is your attitude,” Krauter said. That positive attitude must run in the family because his cousin, who now uses a wheelchair and relies on a device called a DynaVox to communicate, has quite the sense of humor. The DynaVox has six voices, three male and three female. Even with all that variety, Tom Verachtert, a Palatine resident, insists on using the British woman’s voice to make his family laugh. Verachtert, 47, reads constantly but now uses his DynaVox to read electronic books since he’s no longer able to hold books and turn pages. He also loves to play opponents from all over the world in online chess. “If you saw our family room it has two gigantic book shelves all full of the books he’s read,” Dawn said. He holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in chemical engineering, but after he earned his MBA from the University of Chicago, his most recent job was managing new business development. He was forced to retire at 44 because of his declining health. Dawn Verachtert said the Les Turner Foundation has helped her family in many ways, from providing clinics where she can bring her husband to see multiple doctors in one visit to in-home nurse visits. And foundation grants have helped them purchase items like the $15,000 DynaVox machine. She said she’s grateful for the financial and in-person support the Foundation has provided, and for Krauter’s dedication to helping the cause. “It’s really nice that there’s another person to help you,” she said.

How to submit

8SOUND OFF Grateful for neighbors My husband and I want to publicly thank our neighbors for all their concern and support during the past few months. After my husband’s stroke in July, we have been amazed by the help we’ve received getting groceries, bringing over food, taking out the garbage, putting the newspaper by the door and phone calls to make sure we’re OK. A perfect example was after our snow fall Sunday, we had three different people clearing our driveway. It reminds us that despite the weather, Obamacare and all the troubles we all face, there is so much to be grateful for – and we are. Merry Christmas!

Theft from teachers Suburban Life Media thinks the pension reform legislation that ripped off teachers of their retirements didn’t go far enough. Well, just like your brother stealing your money from your piggy bank for years and then just saying, “Oh sorry, I don’t have the money anymore. Too bad, you come up with it.” Come on. This was actual theft. We teachers who are retired and other public employees know that this is just first step toward their shirking of their responsibility, that being the state of Illinois.

Some homeowners negligent This is in response to “Rake

Shirking obligations

your leaves.” Everyone sees the negligent homeowner who doesn’t collect leaves. They’re also the same ones who don’t mow their lawn regularly, have weeds and dandelions, never shovel the sidewalk and driveway all winter, their cars are in the streets, preventing the snowplow from clearing the street properly. These are homeowner duties. If they don’t like to do them, move to an apartment. I would like to see a village code against negligent properties.

Tip mail, newspaper carriers I think tipping [is important] for the holidays for people like the postal carriers and the newspaper delivery people. I always make sure that I even give the substitute mail carriers some kind of tip during

the holidays. I make sure that the cards that are left by the Suburban Life carrier and the Tribune newspaper delivery people get a tip. After all, they’re working hard in the cold and the heat.

More on Mandela To the underinformed individual who declared good riddance to [Nelson] Mandela. Perhaps the media should dig a little deeper into why Mandela was put in jail. It would find that he was put in jail because he was fighting the oppressive white government that were against the blacks of the country. It was called apartheid.

Taxes too high I’m sick and tired of the school system raising our taxes. Older people on a budget should be left alone. Enough is enough.

A major airline carrier declares bankruptcy and cheats its pilots and staff out of their retirement benefits. Then, it emerges as a new improved airline merging with another, gets a fresh start, while the others that they’ve left behind have to struggle. The state shirks its pension obligations on its employees, and it’s literally going to declare bankruptcy, like the city of Detroit, leaving everybody behind while they get to start fresh. Is this the way our government and our country is meant to be running things?

A take on taxes Regarding the recent chatter about the “temporary” Illinois state income tax becoming permanent as a hidden element of the so-called pension reform package, was anyone except politicians, their public relations mouthpieces, their army of consultants and various camp followers ever naive enough to really believe that Mikey Madigan, [John] Cullerton and [Pat] Quinn were actually going to roll that tax back? And the “promised” spending restraint, which is a foundation of the reform? The only certainty here is that once the pols in this state have your money, not only will it be spent, in a short time they’ll be weaseling for more.

I know by the time you get this letter it will probably be after the deadline for December 4th, I’m sorry it’s late, and you don’t have to read this or write back. I’m sure you are extremely busy, especially around now, and I don’t mean to bother you or take up too much of your time. For Christmas, there’s really only 2 things I would like to please ask for, first I would like to please ask to have my best-friend Aaron back, but I know that is probably, well, very impossible thing to ask for and to receive, because he lost his battle with cancer. He was all I had. And secondly, I would also just like to please ask that my family simply could have a very nice and happy Christmas this year. But I know how crazy this time of year can get for you, and there are far many more deserving, and less fortunate kids out there whose wishes should be granted before mine; so if you can’t grant mine please don’t worry, it’s alright, I won’t be mad. But thank you for listening though! Oh dear, and I am very sorry this is over 50 words! Anyways, take care, and your family, elves and reindeers! And fly safe! Merry Christmas Santa! Brooke

Restaurant reviews

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

| LAST MINUTE GIFT GUIDE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

| LAST MINUTE GIFT GUIDE

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

Himalayan salt

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

Personalized stoneware

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

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

Gourmet goodies

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

Made in the USA

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

Grill mania

Sweet and salty treats

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

Glass sets for beer aficionados

It’s official - the craft beer movement is

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

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

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

Reflection during the Holiday Season Five simple ways to find deeper meaning in everyday life (BPT) - Turbulent, fast-paced, chaotic - the modern world is increasingly hectic. From this oft-crazy environment, a new movement is emerging - where people are pausing to find deeper meaning in everyday life. Self-empowerment and true emotional connections can counterbalance daily stress and uncertainty, providing happiness and a genuine sense of worth. If you find the days seem to slip away and life’s hurried pace to be draining, it’s time to find some simple ways to add meaning to your life. Here are five ideas for nurturing a deeper connection with yourself and others:

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

1. Reconnect with your passion

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

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

2. Express ress your individuality

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

3. Give back

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

4. Find “me time”

5. Be an ambassador for your beliefs

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

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

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

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

MORE THAN A TRADITION

while you’re breaking out the holiday decorations or looking for just the right shade of yellow to make your kitchen look brighter on short winter days, don’t overlook another powerful decorator’s trick - scent.

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

Expect a shootout when Bears face Eagles Hub Arkush

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

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

herma Tru Doors

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

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

Did anyone else lose in the fantasy playoffs because Ray Rice decided not to score a 43-yard touchdown on the final play of the game? Ouch. Well, I guess it serves us right for starting Ray Rice.

‘Potential to be better’ York’s undefeated record could be just the start of a successful season By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – York’s boys basketball team just keeps winning. The Dukes knocked off Lyons Township 66-60 on Dec. 13 and they head into tonight’s game against Glenbard West with a 7-0 record. The balanced, senior-dominated squad is turning heads by its winNext game ning ways. Could this Who: Glenbard t e a m b e even better West at York than last What: West year’s team Suburban Silver that won game ThanksgivWhen: 7:30 ing and holp.m. Friday iday tournaWhere: 355 W. ments and St. Charles Rd., a regional Elmhurst title? “Different teams with different guys on the team, but I think we got the potential to be better than last year,” senior Frank Toohey said. One reason for the early success is because the team works very well together and doesn’t rely on one player to carry the scoring load. The depth, experience and chemistry of the team have made York a tough team to match up with. “We just work together well and have great chemistry together,” senior guard Charlie Rose said. “We’ve all been playing together since like fifth, sixth grade. It’s really nice because this is our last go around with each other. We’re enjoying it, having fun.” It also helps to have a 6-foot-8 Division I recruit like

York’s Luke Libert calls out a play in a Dec. 13 home game against Lyons Township. The Dukes used a team effort to top the Lions and remain undefeated on the season. Toohey at center. Toohey, who is headed to Air Force, draws plenty of attention from opposing defenses, opening up the floor for the handful of York guards that can knock down open shots. “When they double him we have open guys out on the wing,” Rose said. “We have advantages on a lot of posi-

tions, which is nice. We like to even it out and get it to everybody.” Against Lyons, the Dukes closed the first half on a 12-4 run to take a 33-26 lead into halftime. Stanley Roberts led York with 17 points. Toohey scored 16 and Rose added 11. York scored the first seven points of the third quarter to build up a 14-point lead before

the Lions made a run to get back in the game and make it close down the stretch. The lead was never smaller than five. Games have tightened up in West Suburban Silver play. York won five of its first six games by 16 or more points. The last two, the six-point win over LT and a four-point win over defending confer-

ence champion Hinsdale Central, have been tight contests. “We’re making progress every day, every practice,” Toohey said. “It’s a long season. We can’t peak early. We got to make sure we have better things ahead of us. “We knew we had a great team. We’re ready to do great things. I don’t think anyone is surprised.”

Suburban Life ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

CONNOR VANDERBRUG

Why VanderBrug was selected: VanderBrug scored over 20 points in three Trojan wins over the last week. He averaged 25 points and nine rebounds. Timothy Christian senior forward Connor VanderBrug has been a scoring machine for the Trojans so far this season. The Calvin College commit entered Tuesday’s game against Riverside Brookfield averaging 20.7 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. VanderBrug, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, spoke with sports reporter Dan Santaromita about the team’s hot start.

What’s been working for you this season? I worked pretty hard in the offseason, so numbers are coming there. Other than that, my teammates are setting up to find me.

I was just playing a lot. I played with my travel team, the Bulls/Sox Academy team, and was just getting more experienced with a faster-paced game.

What made you want to go to

My whole family has been going there since my dad and my mom. I have two brothers, one there now and one that graduated, and another sister that went through there.

With all that family history, was it much of a decision? It still was. I still had a tough time deciding with a couple schools that could give me a little financial help. I just felt comfortable at Calvin.

What are you hoping for the rest of the season? I’m just looking forward to getting our team better. We got a lot of guys who can contribute. I think I can really pull this team together.

Do you have any goals going forward? First it would be a conference championship. Our conference has been dominated by Riverside Brookfield recently. We’re off to a good start.
