Three Gurnee guys have started a graphic design studio – and they’re all age 21 and younger.

Chief Creative is run out of the Gurnee home of Paul Santiago, creative director.

Santiago started designing while he was a sophomore at Warren Township High School. In 2012, he and two friends, Zac Belcher, 21, and Kyle Willis, 17, formed Chief Creative to tackle web-based design projects.

Since then, the studio has evolved to focus on typography and they’ve taken on international clients. Santiago, 19, talked design with Gurnee Suburban Life reporter Jesse Carpender.

Right now, we feel like the design trend is simple and icon-based. We’re trying to stay away from that and do something different. We have more of a text-based, urban look inspired by sports. We’re still trying to define our style.

SUBMIT STORIES We want your news tips and story ideas. Call 847-223-8161 or email editorial@gurneesuburbanlife.com.

How would you describe your design style?

“Serving our communities to make them better places to live.”

Game day

When did you start taking clients?

We decided to start a creative studio not knowing what would happen. Each of us was doing our own freelance work. I had a design job in Chicago at Matte Black Studios, and Kyle was working with another group. We started taking clients in November 2013. Now we’re working for a photography magazine in the UK called Darwin Magazine (along with other clients.)

Why do you focus on typography?

Our old (2012) website was more focused on web work. A lot of companies from Chicago focus on web apps and websites, but you don’t see many that focus on typography.

We wanted to stand out and offer something different.

Collectors hunt historic gems at Gurnee Antique Center

George Zukowski, Gurnee Antique Center general manager, sits in his dealer’s booth with a variety of antique collectibles for sale.

What’s is

Story by JESSE CARPENDER • jcarpender@shawmedia.com Photos by CANDACE H. JOHNSON • For Shaw Media

Andre Domerchie of Waukegan searches the Gurnee Antique Center for Delftware from Holland.

GURNEE – Andres Domerchie and his wife, Barbara Domerchie, were on a mission as they browsed pockets of Gurnee Antique Mall filled with glass, porcelain and silver on a Tuesday afternoon. They were looking for Delftware, typically blue and white ceramics decorated with Dutch figures, flowers and windmills, which is named for Delft, Holland.

The Waukegan residents said they’re modest antique collectors, and look for pieces from the 14th and 15th centuries when out browsing antiques.

“We care about the history behind it,” said Andres Domerchie, who was born in Holland.

“We like to come to this local antique center and learn new things.”

Sales people are amazed when longtime Gurnee residents say they’ve never been to Gurnee Antique Center, 5742 Northridge Drive.

The center, a large red warehouse with more than 200 dealers, has been open since 1998. They accept items no newer than 50 years old.

For the last year, owners Luan Watkins and Jerry Watkins have been searching for a buyer for the business so they can retire in Texas, according to George Zukowski, general manager.

They hope to find a buyer who will keep the business as an antique center.

Customers come from all over the tri-state area, Zukowski said. The store boasts Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins as a unique customer. Corgan lives in Highland Park and comes in the center for pumpkin items, holiday decorations and other unique collectibles, Zukowski said.

With 21,000 feet of shopping space, Meb Sher stays busy and has walked up to 4 miles during a five-hour Sunday shift. Sher, of Wilmette, has worked at Gurnee Antique Center for many years.

Do you have any of the following symptoms?

• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy. the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later.

Let’s face it, your neuropathy symptoms haven’t gone away by now, it’s not likely they will disappear on their own. And it’s been shown in studies that if ignored, symptoms can intensify causing loss of sensation, unremitting pain, and even disability.

There’s a NEW Drugless Solution Helping Neuropathy Sufferers.

WAUKEGAN • 462 N. Green Bay Road

• Thursday, January 30, 2014

Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one of the most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20 million Americans.

Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the arms and legs. This disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’t recognize neuropathy’s symptoms, which are: • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains These annoying problems may come and go...interrupt your sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak at times. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms for a while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this condition.

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are The Only Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live.

Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

Why not look for a drugless solution instead of just covering over the pain?

Myth #2: Assuming Neuropathy is Only Found in Diabetic People Diabetic patients are not the only group to suffer with this condition. Actually more neuropathy sufferers are nondiabetic than are, according to a recent 2009 study.

Here’s what the study, done by The Neuropathy Association, revealed... “Neuropathy is often misrepresented as only being diabetes related. However, this survey demonstrates that for every diabetic neuropathy patient, there are at least six more patients suffering with various neuropathies...” - Dr. Thomas H. Brannagan, III, medical advisor for The Neuropathy Association.

Myth #3: Believing Numbness and Tingling will go away on it’s own.

One of the biggest myths people believe about their numbness, tingling, and pain is that it goes away all by itself... without any treatment. But a study on back pain in

Chiropractor takes holistic approach

By JESSE CARPENDER jcarpender@shawmedia.com When Brooke Eide’s 5-yearold son was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, she wanted to treat him without pills. She had no success with a psychologist; then her son’s preschool teacher suggested Gurnee chiropractor Nathan Clark.

“I grew up in an anti-chiropractic family, where chiropractic was just a step above a witch doctor,” Eide, of Lake Villa, said. “I think it comes from a lack of knowing what it’s about and being raised (to believe) there’s a pill to answer every problem.”

She brought her son to Clark Family Chiropractic in October 2012 with a healthy dose of skepticism, she said.

“Within a couple weeks [of seeing Clark] my son was sleeping better and using his energy better. He could use scissors, which he hadn’t been able to do, and he could color inside the lines.”

Once they saw the results,

Gurnee chiropractor Nathan Clark adjusts the back of his 6-month-old daughter, Lyla, while she lays on the stomach of his wife, Danielle. the whole family began seeing Clark, Eide said. “My husband has seasonal allergies and was able to mow the lawn for the first time in 11 years of marriage. Until you experience having your immune system up,

you think it’s hullabaloo.”

Eide sees Clark for sinus problems and headaches. “I get a neck adjustment and he does sinus work on my cheeks,” she said. “None of it is uncomfortable. When he asks who’s

ready, my 2-year-old runs into the room, and kids wouldn’t be excited about it if it was uncomfortable.”

Clark, of Antioch, decided he wanted to be a chiropractor after he was in a car accident in his sophomore year of college and visited a chiropractor.

“He talked about how the body heals and a more holistic approach,” Clark said. He had his first practice in Evanston for three years before moving it to Gurnee two years ago.

“In our office, we talk about five essentials of maximized living – eating right, minimizing toxins, positive mindset, exercise and maximizing the nervous system,” Clark said. “Most people seek chiropractors for back pain, but it’s more of a lifestyle approach here.”

Nutritionist Erin Chamerick works at Clark’s office to help patients ease off processed foods and start eating whole foods, she said.

“Dr. Clark is a maximized living chiropractor, not your typical chiro who deals with

pain management,” Chamerick said. “It’s about caring for the whole person.”

“We have patients aged 2 to 80,” Clark said. “We’ll talk to kids and ask them if they feel better, taller.” Clark has almost completed his certification for pediatric chiropractic, though the certification is not required, he said.

Clark makes adjustments on his 6-month-old daughter’s spine. “I use my hands to check how her spine is developing,” he said. When people ask if chiropractic is safe, he points out that he wouldn’t use it on his daughter if it wasn’t. “[When people are skeptical] I ask them what their concerns are and inform them,” he said.

Clark volunteers to work with athletes at Warren Township High School, where his youngest brother is a student.

Clark’s office, 1475 N. Dilleys Road, Unit 2, will have a free event, Live Well, on transforming health at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 12.

Warren speech heads to regionals

By JESSE CARPENDER jcarpender@shawmedia.com GURNEE – Not many high school students want to wake up at 4 a.m. on a Saturday, put on business attire and take a bus to a daylong public speaking competition – but Warren Township High School’s Speech Team members are a motivated bunch.

“They work on something most people fear more than death,” said Christina Cooper, head speech team coach.

Warren Speech Team is busy in the middle of its competitive season and preparing for Illinois High School Competition regionals Feb. 8.

“At regionals, we’ll have 16 students competing as individuals and 13 in Performance In the Round [a 15-minute play performed in a circle].”

Cooper said the Warren team is well known across the state.

“We’ve never gone to a tournament and not placed,” Cooper said. The speech team has gone to the state competition the last six years, she said.

At one of the team’s weekly Monday afternoon meetings, Cooper told the team, “Take a look at everything and pay attention to what your coaches are telling you. Target repetitive areas.”

The competition season is intense. Coaches act as teachers, nurses and even seamstresses as the students compete at schools around the northwestern region every Saturday, Cooper said.

“Three people are sick by the end of the week every year,” Cooper said to a group of students headed to a weekendlong competition in Downers Grove.

There are 14 competitive sections, including dramatic interpretation, oratorical declaration and humorous interpretation.

“The two hardest are extemporaneous, because you have to have a wide breadth of knowledge about politics and history which is difficult for high schoolers, and original comedy, because everyone thinks they’re funny, but they’re not always,” Cooper said.

Impromptu is a section dreaded by most of the speech team but not Nicole Malinowski, a sophomore who competes in original oratory and impromptu.

“You have two minutes to formulate a speech with a thesis and three points, and it’s a six-minute speech,” Malinowski said.

Senior Danielle Gualtieri started on the speech team her freshman year doing informative talks about serious topics.

“Everyone told me I was funny and that I should try humor instead, so I switched sophomore year,” she said, adding she’s discovered another side of herself.

The speech team offers the opportunity for students to take up mentorship roles. Juniors and seniors take on younger students as novices to show them the ropes and help them with repetitive behaviors.

Senior Jamie Kreppin said she once tied her coat around a novice who flailed her arms too much while speaking.

Junior Jennifer Wadas said there’s a lot of overlap between speech team and Warren’s drama club.

“Knowing you got these scores on your own is really rewarding. Practice makes perfect,” Wadas said.

It’s not all public speaking, said senior Imani Davis. Davis competes in poetry, which is basically slam poetry, she said.

“You have the freedom in poetry to do what you want,” Davis said. “You can take little pieces of other poems and mix it up.”

Trey Caldwell, speech team coach, graduated from Warren in 2009 and was on speech team.

“A lot of the work ethic I have today is because of speech team,” Caldwell said. “It allows kids to learn communication skills so they can kill a job interview. You have to learn quickly and be able to think on your toes for competition, and you’re looking for mass appeal.”

Cooper said speech team gives students a voice.

“It makes them confident so they can speak for presentations and be assertive when they get jobs.”

FBLA teams up with Gurnee Parks

By SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA editorial@lakecountysuburbanlife.com GURNEE – Warren’s Future Business Leaders of America student organization has been working hard on its American Enterprise Project this year.

FBLA formed a partnership with the Gurnee Park District to educate students in grades kindergarten through fifth about basic economic concepts. The activities conducted were aimed to help students better understand the American enterprise system.

FBLA members conducted activities three times in December at the Gurnee Park District Hunt Club facility to present business-related games for the children.

On Dec. 4, the activity was a scavenger hunt teaching the concept of scarcity in the

The activity for Dec. 11 was a life-sized Monopoly game that taught money managing and strategies to buy and sell in a free market.

On Dec. 18, students coordinated an advertisement game where the children created their own products. They

then tried to advertise their products by creating posters and a commercial.

All of the activities were designed to promote understanding of the free enterprise system, yet still be fun and appealing to its young audience.

IN THEIR LIFE

People you should know

Photographer leads chamber of commerce for second term CRAIG HATHAWAY | GURNEE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

T

he Gurnee Chamber of Commerce stands out among other Lake County chambers because it is a relatively young organization that emphasizes using technology, according to Craig Hathaway, executive director.

Hathaway, owner of Churchhill Photography in Gurnee, was vice chairman when the Gurnee chamber formed five years ago. This is his second time being executive director; he’s been back in the role since March.

Hathaway, a Lake Bluff resident, talked with Gurnee Suburban Life reporter Jesse Carpender about the chamber’s new mobile phone app and the organization’s focus for 2014.

Carpender: What’s new this year?

Hathaway: We’re adding new board members, and we have a new president, Dan Kloczkowski. We’re starting up our monthly membership meetings again. Those had stopped for about a year and a half.

Our All Things Gurnee app and mobile site are up and running, and that’s where we’ll focus our attention for the rest of the year. We view it as the ultimate shop local program and a resource to the community. We’re advertising it in every paper, and it’s expanding. In today’s world, it’s important to be able to access [data] from a mobile device.

Carpender: What’s the difference between the All Things Gurnee mobile site and the app?

Hathaway: Using Safari or Android, if you go to www.gurneechamber.com, nine buttons will expand like a hot deals section,

coupons for businesses, popular places. The mobile interface is the same as the app – which you can download – but the app is more customizable. On the app, you can check in to places, add to your favorite places and there will be push notifications to alert you of coupons.

Carpender: What is Biz N Bites?

Hathaway: Biz N Bites is a semi-monthly networking group. It’s very informal. We get together at different venues for hors d’oeuvres.

Carpender: What makes the Gurnee Chamber of Commerce unique from other chambers?

Hathaway: You’d be hard-pressed to find a chamber as new as ours.

Our approach is different.

We’re technology based.

We’re all about unifying the community and developing loyal customers in the area. We’re more

consumer-focused than member- focused. We’re built as a search engine optimization machine for members to raise awareness online.

Some chambers have experienced a fallout in membership over the last four to five years because, with social media, the world is very small.

Carpender: Are there a lot of new businesses in Gurnee?

Hathaway: We had seven ribbon cuttings last year, but not every new business joins the chamber. We’re working in conjunction with the village to attract new businesses. When the economic development coordinator (a new position proposed by Mayor Kristina Kovarik to monitor the Gurnee business community) is hired, they’ll sit on our board, and we’re very open to that.

Carpender: How do new businesses benefit from joining the chamber?

Photo provided

Craig Hathaway is the executive director of the Gurnee Chamber of Commerce.

Hathaway: The first benefit is that we introduce them to other business owners in the community, so they can reach out to the pillars of the community.

They have the opportunity to come to meetings and meet members, be listed on our website and in our community guide and let residents know they’re invested in the community. I think members join because of need and civic duty to support the community.

I think the biggest benefit is community involvement.

The more committed a community is to maintaining commerce rather than sending businesses out of town, the more that community thrives. And that’s the job of the COC. Carpender: Which businesses have done the best since the recession?

Hathaway: Accountants have done very well, and other financial people.

Carpender: Is the chamber involved in any philanthropic causes?

Hathaway: Our business and education partners program is community outreach between the board members, school districts and the College of Lake County. We send eighth-graders to college for four nights, send parents to informational meetings on how they can help their kids get to college and then it ends with a reception at Warren Township High School.

Carpender: What’s your background?

Hathaway: The previous owner of the studio (Churchhill Photography) was an active member in the Gurnee Rotary, and when I decided to take over the business, I got involved with the community and joined the Lake County Chamber of Commerce. I’ve had my business in Gurnee for 24 years.

Resume It is always a good prac-

YOUR CAREER Jennifer Harris

tice to update your resume.

You never know when the next opportunity will present itself, and you want to be ready.

While resume writing is difficult, it’s a good exercise to review and update your accomplishments.

We are constantly adding new tasks to our own job descriptions, and you may not realize how much more you have to add if you’ve been at your job for more than a year.

Resumes have evolved over the years, too. If your resume has an objective on it, you really need an update.

Professional summaries are now the norm.

You also need a list of job-related competencies that enable keyword searches to be performed by applicant tracking systems, which are

the databases where your resume lands when you hit “apply” on job boards and company websites.

Refrain from adding pictures or personal information.

And unless you are in a creative field, forget fancy fonts, colors or graphics.

Online strategy Social media, such as LinkedIn and Facebook, quickly are becoming the new job boards. In fact, a survey by Gozaik, a social recruiting solutions provider, indicates Twitter will outpace other social media channels in 2014 as a way to attract and engage talent.

You don’t have to be a pro at social media, but it should definitely be a part of your job search strategy. Ignoring these tools means missing out on potential opportunities.

In addition, polish your LinkedIn profile and avoid posting anything you wouldn’t want a prospective employer to see online.

While there is much debate as to the legal and ethical questions of employers’ use of social media to vet candidates, it’s wise to remember what you do online could either help or hurt your career.

Time Finding the right job will take time. Even in high-demand areas like IT and accounting, companies tend to move a little slower in this market.

While it’s not true in every case, there are a couple of factors contributing to this trend.

After finally getting approval to hire, some companies want to vet as many candidates as possible, ensuring they make the best hire.

Some employers (mistakenly) believe this is an “employer’s market” and they can afford to take their time.

Companies also are adding additional steps to the interview process. Multiple interviews are becoming common.

Cultural fit is very important, and some companies are adding more people to the process to assess a candidate’s potential fit into his environment.

Regardless of the reasons, very few companies are speeding up the process. It can be frustrating, but it may actually work in your favor.

Interviews are a two-way street. You are evaluating the role and company just as much as they are evaluating you and your skills.

Take the time and effort to make sure the opportunity fits your career goals. Meeting potential coworkers will ensure you make the right decision, too.

Well, according to the baby name books, most first names have a meaning. Surnames, as well, usually have a meaning.

The same is true of many place names.

With a little sleuthing and delving into the history of an area, the names of various places have a story to tell. I will venture a little bit away from the confines of the area using the zip code of 60031 and include some of the surrounding territory.

Quite often, for various reasons the names of places change. So, I ask my readers, where is Southport? How about Petite Fort and Wentworth? Or Mechanics Grove, Independence Grove and Monaville? Why is it Warren Township? How did Fox Lake and Hainsville get their names? How about the names of Bannockburn, Highland Park, Glencoe and Millburn?

VILLAGE VINE Nancy Long And where is Chicago, Wisconsin?

One of these towns is actually in the state of Wisconsin. Kenosha originally was called Pike Creek since the Potawatomi word for the area was gnozhe, meaning “place of the pike.” Then, it was called Southport, apparently reflecting the fact that its lake/seaport was south of the ports of Racine and Milwaukee.

Later, the name was changed to an anglicized spelling of the Native American name: Kenosha.

The French had a fort on Lake Michigan and called it Petite (Little) Fort.

The name was later changed to Waukegan, which is Potawatomi for “the place

where the white man lives.”

Mechanics Grove changed its name to Mundelein after a visit from Cardinal Mundelein.

Independence Grove became Libertyville, and Monaville (and it’s Mona like the Mona Lisa, not mono) sort of died out when the train station was built in Lake Villa.

Warren Township got its name because the original settlers were from Warren, New York. Fox Lake was named after the Sauk and Fox Indians, not the animal.

The first settlement in Lake County, Hainesville was named after its founder, Elisha Haines. Bannockburn, Highland Park, Glencoe and Millburn all reflect the fact that many of the early settlers were Scottish.

Millburn, now known as Old Mill Creek, means Mill Creek and reflects the fact that there was a mill located on the creek of the same name.

Chicago, Wis., is right where Chicago, Ill., is located.

The original border of the entire northern part of Illinois was from the tip of Lake Michigan straight across to the Mississippi River.

That put Chicago (and Lake County) in the Wisconsin Territory.

Yes, we were almost “cheeseheads!”

When the Illinois Territory was getting ready to become a state (in 1818), the powers that be decided that they wanted the new state of Illinois to have a port on Lake Michigan.

So the border was moved northward to its present place, making the “stinking place” or “place of the wild onions” a lake/seaport. And, yes, the Potawatomi name for the area, which we spell Chicago, referred to the wild onions that grew there in abundance.

I’ve saved the best for the

last. Where is Wentworth?

If you live in ZIP code 60031, you are living in it. When E.J. Lehman wanted to build his grand hotel in the town of Wentworth, he needed some way to bring the vacationers up from Chicago.

With the help of his friend Walter Gurnee (or perhaps Louis Gurnee, no one is sure which one), the railroad conveniently was run through Wentworth with a depot right next to his hotel site.

In gratitude for this wonderful thing, the town was renamed Gurnee Station, later changed to just Gurnee.

The hotel was later bought by the Independent Order of Vikings Valhalla, and the location is now Viking Park.

The train station is gone, but its location is reflected in the name of the street where it was located: Depot Road.

The beginning of a new year is a great time to evaluate your career and decide if you are in the right place, or if it’s time to make a move.

Most economic indicators look positive for 2014.

Our homes are gaining value, the unemployment rate is at a five-year low and Congress figured out how to avert another government shutdown.

Consumer confidence is up, but how are you feeling about your career?

According to a Gallup poll published in the fall of 2013, 70 percent of American workers are not engaged or are actively disengaged from their workplace, meaning most of us are not thrilled with our jobs.

The current employment market can be a puzzle that is hard to solve, so if you are currently searching or are contemplating making a move, here are some things to consider.

for antiques, but keeps money saved in case something interesting comes along.

“You gotta know, and you gotta want,” he said to explain how antique shoppers can spend thousands of dollars.

Zukowski said there’s risk of theft in the antique world – collectors have been followed home from antique shows or had their tires slashed.

While some collectors like the Domerchies are interested in the history of pieces, most customers don’t care about that anymore, said Zukowski, who used to own an antique shop in New York.

“In today’s market, a lot of it is for decorating,” Zukowski said.

“The market has changed. We’re not bread and butter anymore. We’re something extra,” he said.

The items of interest are changing as the younger crowd might be into collecting Star Wars while he’s into G.I. Joe, he said.

Antique collectors are a unique bunch and there’s a collector for every topic in the dictionary, Zukowski said: “All and every one.”

She collects Steuban glassware, both clear and lacquer.

“I have maybe 100 pieces in huge cases,” Sher said. “I love the pristine look.”

Her favorite piece is a vase with doves on each side. At Gurnee Antique Center, there are many Steuben pieces for sale including two worth more than $1,000.

“They’re family heirlooms,” she said. “They’re not made anymore.”

One of the newest dealers has a display of archival framed war posters from World War I and World War II, priced from $200 to $1,000. Each dealer offers something different, from a collection of antlers with skulls still attached to vintage cooking ware.

“There’s lots of interesting things in here and new items come in regularly,” Sher said. They don’t find odds and ends like personal photos or letters in the antique dressers and books they sell because the dealers remove them, she said.

It’s not often that customers come in looking for truly unique items like the compass of a ship, or a wood-burning stove from the 1900s.

But, some of the stranger items do sell, Zukowski said.

Not long ago, the center sold a complete set of carnival games made by William F. Mangels, a Coney Island amusement ride manufacturer, to the owner of a mini-museum near Mangels grave at Greenwood Cemetery in New York.

Ed McCann is both a salesperson and a dealer at the antique center. His dealer case features mallard decoys, fishing tackle and other outdoorsy decor he obtained during 30 years of collecting.

“It takes time and experience” to become a serious collector, McCann said.

Gurnee sculptor makes 12-foot metal work of art for Kenosha display

ABOVE: Matt Bellefeuille, Gurnee resident and metal sculptor, is almost finished with his latest project.

BELOW: The 12-foot humanlike sculpture is called “Deep Breath.”

“I just like making something from nothing.”

Matt Bellefeuille metal sculptor

it on the ground and looked at the parts together that he felt it was going in the right direction.

“I’ve been creating art my entire life,” Bellefeuille said.

“It wasn’t until I started welding at Gurnee Public Works that I started using metal. I would customize anything that was mine to play with.

I’d paint mailboxes, do wood

sculpting.”

Bellefeuille’s first project was a fish for his dad; many of his pieces resemble animals, such as a scorpion with long bolts for claws, or his favorite

sculpture, a rabbit with ears made from a store’s metal shelving.

“I like how the rabbit came out. He’s a little bit surreal, playful,” he said. Salvador Dali is a big inspiration, and Bellefeuille has a tattoo of Dali’s work “Portrait of my Dead Brother’s Face.”

His tallest piece before “Deep Breath” was a 9-foot-tall giraffe that now stands in the front lobby of the Kenosha Area Business Alliance.

Maria Bellefeuille, his wife, said she’s amazed and amused by his art, and found it funny when he was working on the giraffe.

“It was hanging from the rafters in our garage,” Maria Bellefeuille said.

Bellefeuille is a member of Lemon Street Gallery in Kenosha, which has more than 80 members, according to Melanie Hovey, executive director.

Hovey said Bellefeuille’s “Deep Breath” will be placed in Union Park as part of the Kenosha Union Park Project, a neighborhood arts development program.

“Matt has really amazing stuff,” Hovey said.

Right now, Bellefeuille has a piece called “Sailboat” on display at the gallery, a 3-foottall welded steel boat with sails of perforated steel. Every three months, a new piece by Bellefeuille is rotated into the gallery.

Bellefeuille said he hopes “Deep Breath” leads to bigger projects. He wants to do a kinetic sculpture in the future, somewhat like an automaton with a steampunk feel, he said.

As to what keeps him going when he’s out in his workshop with just a space heater, “I just like making something from nothing,” Bellefeuille said.

hen he’s not welding or plowing snow for Gurnee Public Works, Matt Bellefeuille spends time in his workshop behind his Gurnee home creating natural shapes from used metal parts.

Bellefeuille, owner of Alkolai Arts, has been a metal sculptor for seven years and has created more than 60 pieces from materials people donated to him.

“Every man you know has a collection of junk in his garage,” Bellefeuille said.

This month, he’s working on a 12-foot tall human-shaped sculpture with an old yellow caution light for a face. He calls it “Deep Breath,” and it’s his biggest project to date, he said.

After it’s completed in early February, the scuplture will be placed at Union Park down the street from Lemon Street Gallery, 4601 Sheridan Road in Kenosha, Wis. Bellefeuille usually begins a scuplture when he sees a piece of metal that reminds him of something and inspires him. He doesn’t draw or plan out the dimensions. He goes to work in his shop and figures it out as he progresses. He’s used everything from motorcycle parts to recycled wire from political signs to create his work.

With the radio cranked up on a talk station and metal dust flying, Bellefeuille loses himself for hours.

He never keeps track, but he can spend five hours straight working on a scuplture, he said.

“It’s a break from being behind the plow,” he said. His public works plowing shifts can be up to 18 hours long.

Having patience is his greatest challenge.

“There are times when it’s part-way done but you’re not sure if your vision is coming through,” he said. “Then it gets to a point where it clicks.”

He said with his current project, it wasn’t until he laid

Coach Tim Borries has assembled a team with some key youngsters, including Amy and Ashley Reiser.

This win was the 17th of the season for the Sequoits.

Don’t be fooled by Barrington’s 59-49 loss to Vernon Hills on Jan. 25. The Fillies had two bad quarters, and the Cougars are a very dangerous club.

Barrington gets help from Brooke Gunderson and Angie Kirchoff.

Barrington should be in

North counts on. The Knights kicked off the new year with a win against rival Grayslake Central. The Knights then took a trip to southern Illinois and fared quite well.

Coach Steve Ikenn’s Grayslake Central Rams seemed to like its recent tour of Woodstock schools. Yes, the Rams prevailed in wins against Woodstock and Woodstock North, scoring exactly 58 points in each of the wins.

The Rams have the inside-outside threat of Morgan Dahlstrom, and she gets help from Carson Sparkman and Maddy Miller. Watch out for Quinn Garbett, too. This sophomore can shoot the 3-pointer.

Fox Lake’s Grant High School comes in without a winning record, yet the Bulldogs clearly have that onetwo punch going well. That’s Jasmine Sangster and Kaylie Kanzler. Those two are capable of scoring 20 points each

on any given night. Sangster and Kanzler combined for 38 points in a win over Wauconda on Jan. 24.

Wauconda is still playing competitive basketball, and top scorer Lauren Nee is getting some help from the likes of Katie Rossetti, Natalie Harding, Jessie Wood, Amber Head and Maddie Gaschler.

The Warren Blue Devils have talent, including Kylie Nedelka and Hailey Leinart.

Kristen O’Brien and Sammi Jo Nixon also are budding stars.

Lakes High School is playing better. Wins have been tough to come by, but there is hope from the young players, such as freshman Olivia Pawlak and sophomore Ellie Haviland.

The Round Lake Panthers are still hurting in the wins column, but there is help from Destiny Brown and Justice Clark.

Vernon Hills senior Lauren Webb didn’t let an injury sideline her. The basketball player returned to the court after a foot injury. And in her club’s triple overtime win against North Chicago, Webb attempted 16 free throws and made them all.

Webb is one of many hoops stars making waves in Lake County. Antioch and Carmel are also two very good squads who could make noise in the playoffs.

It looked like a good battle when Antioch visited Wauconda on Jan. 22. After all, the Seqouits had been handled by Vernon Hills four days earlier.

No matter, Antioch’s Paige Gallimore checked in with a score that some teams have when they are done with a

line for another 20-win season before the playoffs kick off.

The team also gets some help from sophomore Megan Talbot, who stands 6-foot-2.

It’s been a tough ride for the Carmel Corsairs through the treacherous ESCC. A 6027 loss on Jan. 22 to Marian Catholic proved that those are tough teams to play. But Carmel will play locally in the playoffs, and this is still a very good team. Coach Kelly Perz, the former Carmel star known as Kelly Krombach back in high school, can count on the likes of Kathleen Felicelli, Cassidy Kloss and Emma Rappe on a nightly basis.

The schedule should lighten somewhat in February.

The Knights of Grayslake North’s Brittany Thibeaux and Kendall Detweiler continue to lead the way for coach Nate Flannery’s club.

Immovable object vs. irresistible force at Super Bowl XLIII NEW YORK – As Super Bowl matchups go it doesn’t get much better than Super Bowl XLIII between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos.

For starters, you’ve got the two best teams in the NFL without question as this is just the second time in the past 20 seasons that both the NFC’s and AFC’s top seeds have advanced to the playoffs.

Perhaps more impressive, this is just the fifth Super Bowl in history and the first since the New York Giants played the Buffalo Bills following the 1990 season that the NFL’s top scoring team, Denver with 606 points has faced the leagues number one scoring defense, Seattle with 231 points allowed.

It gets better. This is just the second time in Super Bowl history the league’s top team in total offense, Denver – 7,317 total yards, 457.3/game has faced the top defense, Seattle allowing just 4,378 total yards, 273.6/game.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said, “It’s historically as hard as it gets. It can’t get any tougher. They’ve done everything – broken every major

Hub Arkush

record in the throwing game, points and everything. Peyton’s (Manning) been extraordinary. He’s had the year that everyone would dream to have.

We’re up against it.”

Broncos head coach John Fox knows he’s got his hands full as well.

“I think for the fans it’s an incredible matchup,” Fox said. “Watching them (Seattle) and knowing Pete Carroll for many years, I’ve got the utmost respect. They’ve done a lot in a short period of time. I think it’s a tribute to their personnel people. Their whole team has done a heck of a job.”

Those Seahawk personnel folks Fox complimented found six Pro Bowlers including three of the four starting defensive backs in Seattle’s “Legion of Boom” secondary, Richard Sherman,

Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.

They will anchor the key matchup in the game versus Denver Pro Bowlers Manning, guard Louis Vasquez, wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, tight end Julius Thomas, former Pro Bowl wideout Wes Welker, Eric Decker and running back Knowshon Moreno.

It’s almost impossible to remember a team with more weapons on offense than the record-setting Broncos.

But don’t discount Seattle’s offense lead by a few Pro Bowlers of its own – center Max Unger, running back Marshawn Lynch and quarterback Russell Wilson.

Lynch is the only player in the NFL to rush for more than 1,000 yards and score at least 10 touchdowns in each of the past three seasons.

Wilson has won 27 games as a starting quarterback in the NFL, including three playoff games and is trying to join Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger as the only quarterbacks in history to win a Super Bowl in his first or second season.

Upon arriving in New Jersey Manning said of Wilson, “I met Russell Wilson, believe it or not, when I was visiting the Broncos. I believe it was after I signed with the Broncos. They were having players come in for visits before the draft. I was actually in the film room watching some tape, and someone brought Russell in. I had a chance to shake his hand. I wished him luck and told him I enjoyed watching his college career.”

Wilson knows he had a brush with greatness and seems to understand his place in the QB matchup.

“They have an unbelievable quarterback in Peyton Manning. I have so much respect for him and what he’s done over his entire career. He deserves all of the credit. He’s an unbelievable quarterback and human being.

“Just the energy in this area right now, in New Jersey. All of you guys (media) here in the New York area, it’s going to be a great scene. It’s going to be a great game. It’s going to be a battle to the end and I’m really looking forward to that game!”

release, something he honed with quarterbacks coach Jeff Christensen of Throw it Deep.

Garoppolo said after the first practice that in terms of areas of improvement, coaches wanted him to work on his footwork, since he was “fairly new” to the 3-, 5- and 7-step drops.

“It’s a repetition thing,” he said.

“Once you start doing it so much, you get used to it.”

Fisch acknowledged that it’s tough to work on a technique in only one week, but he seemed impressed with Garoppolo’s footwork.

“I think his footwork’s been pretty good,” he said. “I think he’s done a nice job, throws with a nice face with good feet so it’s pretty neat to see.”

Garoppolo knows that while he may have the moxie that coaches want in a quarterback, he needs to show he has the physical tools as well.

“If you’re a leader, they’ll know you’re a leader by how you act on the field,” he said about the balancing act.

“If you can throw the ball, they’ll know that by the end of the day. You’ve just got to come out here, be yourself and compete.”

A Bears fan, Garoppolo said Jay Cutler is his favorite Chicago quarterback. The two might differ in personality, but Cutler has plenty of confidence, something Garoppolo said he knows he needs to show during the draft process, and he can gain that more with his arm than his words.

“If you belong, you belong. If you don’t, you’re going to stick out and people are going to know that you don’t belong,” he said.

As the days went by in Mobile, Fisch saw a trend. Maybe Garoppolo read the articles about his rising draft stock, but more likely, he saw what he was capable of against top competition.

“Each day, I have noticed a trend in a way, that his confidence has continued to improve and therefore his charisma has showed up,” Fisch said. “He has a nice presence about himself.”

MOBILE, Ala. – Regardless of what the unknown team sought when asking Jimmy Garoppolo, “Name as many things as you can do with a brick in a minute,” the personnel folks probably were impressed with how the Eastern Illinois quarterback handled his interview.

“All the questions have a purpose behind them,” Garoppolo said at the Senior Bowl, laughing about the odd question he received. “Sometimes you don’t know what they are; you’ve just got to answer truthfully, really.”

A linebacker until his junior year at Rolling Meadows High School, Garoppolo didn’t receive a single Division I offer. Four years later, his performance at the East-West Shrine game last week earned him a last-minute invitation to the Senior Bowl – a long journey that continues to be positive for Garoppolo.

“Last week helped me out,” he said

when asked about dealing with the stigma of being an Football Championship Subdivision quarterback playing with the big boys. “You guys talk about it, scouts Jimmy talk about it, but I’m done with that. … We’re Garoppolo all on the same playing field, same playing level.”

“I think it’s a pretty neat deal,” said Jaguars offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch, who worked extensively with the quarterbacks on the South team.

“The opportunity to have an Auburn pass rusher lined up and a Florida state pass rasher, a Georgia corner, now all of a sudden he’s playing with a different group two weeks in a row and two different offenses in a row. I think it’s pretty cool to watch his development.”

Many considered Garoppolo the second-best quarterback in Mobile during the week, just behind Fresno State’s Derek Carr. He has an incredibly quick
