FaceTime: Ann Slobodian, Allergy Support for Kids Ann Slobodian of Lindenhurst knows that living with food allergies can be challenging.

Slobodian, her husband and two children – ages 8 and 11 – all have food allergies.

That’s why she decided to found A.S.K. – Allergy Support for Kids, a Facebook support group designed for parents located between northeastern Illinois and southeast Wisconsin who are raising children with food allergies.

Since launching the group a few years ago, it has grown to about 150 members, Slobodian said.

Slobodian discussed the group and why holiday functions can be a scary time for parents of children with food allergies with Lake County Suburban Life managing editor Cassandra Dowell.

Why did you start A.S.K.?

I started it because I needed support. It has slowly grown.

Between the four of us [family members], we can’t do wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, fish or shellfish. Local [members] will go to Six Flags Great America together, set up play dates.

I talk about ways to prevent allergic reactions in the home,

how to talk to the school. I’ll do a mini-class on how to set up a 504 plan, which is a legal document with the school district. [According to the Illinois Association of School Boards, the plan “prohibits school districts receiving federal financial assistance from discriminating against an otherwise qualified student with a disability,” such as a food allergy.] The group seems like 24/7 support.

How dangerous can food allergies be?

Almost every allergy is

covered in the group. It’s not just about what they eat. It’s what’s in the air – there are so many precautions you have to take. Another child could eat something your child is allergic to and then touch your child, setting off a reaction. Allergies are usually associated with a runny nose, sneezing. That’s not what a food allergy is.

You can have anaphylaxis, [a severe allergic reaction] that is life-threatening. From preschool, parties at school and day care – anywhere that food is involved, there are precautions that have to be taken.

What are some precautions you take in your home?

We have assigned seats at the kitchen table. We don’t put anything there that will cause someone to have an allergic reaction. We have certain silverware for different types of food so we don’t cross-contaminate. We don’t use certain pots or pans for certain types of allergens.

Job seekers find support, tips from Lake County groups

other agencies.

Candee McMahon, ca reer counselor with College of Lake County Career and Placement Services, said she saw a need for the Job Search Support group during the economic recession of 2008.

“I was seeing people that needed to be with other people going through the same circumstance – to know they’re not alone,” McMahon said.

“I’ve seen networking that has helped.”

David Northern Sr., executive director and CEO of Lake County Housing Authority, said the agency hosted its first

job fair last month because of the need he and other staff members observed of those using housing authority services.

“Our goal is to help our clients be self-sufficient,” Northern said, adding that the event was open to the public and a variety of employers attended, including staffing agencies, a security firm, banks and other companies.

The housing authority also partners with the Lake County Job Center housed at the College of Lake County to help clients receive employment resources, he said.

Northern said some stereotypes the unemployed face is that they are “undereducated or lazy, or have horrible criminal histories.”

However, he said, many employers realize once they give someone they might otherwise overlook a chance that individual is often grateful for the opportunity to work, which shows through his or her job performance.

Harding said age discrimination and being “overqualified” are obstacles she and others in the 40-and-older job seekers demographic face.

For example, Harding won’t spend time replying to job postings seeking recent graduates.

Those jobs are a “red flag,” she said.

“They’re looking for someone younger, who doesn’t maybe have as many obligations – a mortgage or kids – or want benefits,” she said.

“It tells me I just have to look harder – even with [those

Donna Harding knows the hardship that unemployment can bring – and what obstacles those on the job hunt can face.

Harding, of Round Lake Park, has been unemployed since February. However, Harding happily announced at a recent College of Lake County Career and Placement Services Job Search Support Group meeting that she had landed a two-year contract job to begin Jan. 6.

Harding has worked as a professional contractor for the past five years and has visited the College of Lake County Career and Placement Services on and off throughout those years when looking for contract work, she said.

“I’ve had down moments,” Harding said, explaining that when she first moved to Illinois years ago, it was for a job offer that ultimately was rescinded after she arrived in Chicago from her home in Oklahoma. She then accepted another job only to be let go on the second day of work, she said.

According to the Illinois Department of Employment Security, about 7.6 percent of Lake County residents were unemployed in October 2013.

That’s less than Illinois’ October rate of 8.3 percent unemployment, but more than the nation’s October rate of 7 percent.

Although job search initiative leaders agree that unemployment is a serious issue, many also say that an increase in job support groups throughout the county and networking events have been successful in helping residents have greater access to job opportunities.

Harding said she has been an on-and-off member of three different job search support groups throughout the county. In addition to the job support group at College of Lake County, such groups can be found at local churches and

obstacles] there are still job opportunities. It’s a weeding process.

“Be clear about what job you want – don’t just settle on whatever comes along. If you settle, you’re not going to be happy.”

McMahon said members of the job search support group are eager to pass on job tips and share what has worked for them, as well as what hasn’t, while navigating the job market.

In the past month, three job support group members have found jobs, including Harding, McMahon said.

“Once they get a job their attitude changes,” she said.

“They’re happy. They feel relief.”

McMahon said a positive attitude also tends to bode well for job seekers.

“They’re thinking, ‘I’m going to get this,’ and that’s positive thinking,” she said.

“The support group’s goal is to keep [attendees] going – to keep topics current, local and share, “ she said, adding that some who attend the group explain how unemployment has affected their home security and family life.

McMahon said it’s important for employers not to stereotype older workers.

“The stereotype is that they’re not as quick in technology responses, but in reality their experience needs to be measured,” McMahon said.

“Employers are missing out if they don’t take experience into account.”

Harding keeps a portfolio of her past resumes – some even include sticky notes with edits or changes she decided to make after attending a job search support group meeting. Harding shared the portfolio with other job support group members and said she enjoyed sharing what was and was not successful when landing her most recent job.

LESLIE PENCAK DIRECTOR OF THE BUTTON ROOM In the old days, it was neighborly to stop by someone’s house for coffee or tea and a nice chat. Leslie Pencak believes strongly in the spirit of those days, and strives to preserve it as the director of The Button Room in Gurnee.

On a foggy December morning, volunteers sipped coffee as they made angel ornaments out of buttons. This is The Button Room’s busiest time of year. Christmas shopping and family gatherings bring guests into town.

The Button Room, which celebrated its second anniversary Dec. 10, is the only self-standing museum of its kind, Pencak said.

Pencak, who is a Waukegan resident, started the museum in memory of her friend Elizabeth “Peg” Hewitt, a resident of old Gurnee and a collector of buttons. It’s located at 4072 Old Grand Ave., just down the street from the house Hewitt lived in.

Photo by Candace H. Johnson Sitting next to a photograph of her old friend, Pencak Leslie Pencak, director, holds a card of Bimini glass buttons made in England from the collection of Elizaexplained that there’s much more to The Button Room beth “Peg” Hewitt, in Peg’s Sitting Room at The Button Room on Old Grand Avenue in Gurnee. The photo than buttons. behind her is of Hewitt as a young child.

How did you meet Elizabeth Hewitt?

I was introduced to her by a mutual friend. She wanted help sorting through stuff and scaling down all of the items she’d collected, but she only threw two tiny things away.

As we sorted through her things, she’d talk about the history, where she got it.

She was like a grandmother or great-aunt to me.

She had so much knowledge about buttons, antiques and people. She gave me marriage advice. She was such an educator. She always had a story, she’d share little bit of history.

What was her button room like?

It was a spare bedroom covered wall-to-wall with books and buttons. There were chests on top of chests – floor to ceiling, little drawers and sewing chests of buttons.

There was so much stuff, but everything was very neat.

Her button room was a sacred place, and you only went in by invitation. I didn’t know that until later – she allowed me in there immediately. We had an instant connection. It was her private space, a place

of solitude. Buttons were how she dealt with pain and sadness. That was how I dealt with the loss of her as well.

[Hewitt died at age 95 in 2010.]

What did Hewitt tell you about old Gurnee?

She’d tell me about the people, how people would gather for ice cream socials and picnics. It was a very small community. [Elizabeth Hewitt’s mother, Cora Studer] was village clerk for 28 years and knew everyone.

Her mom was known as a baker, and women would gather to do quilting. She told me that her mom and some ladies raffled a quilt so Warren could have its own cemetery. When I first opened and visited the Mother Rudd House, I found out they have that quilt and got to see it with my own eyes. It has her mom’s name on it.

Why did you open The Button Room?

If [Hewitt] would have had a daughter, this is what her daughter would have done.

[Hewitt] and her mom loved Gurnee, loved the community, and more than anything, they loved the buttons. She’d

pointed this house out as a possible location [for the museum.] My family thought I lost my mind, but it felt like a God-given calling. This is [Hewitt’s] gift to Gurnee.

Why collect buttons?

I think women appreciate the beauty, artwork and detail of buttons. Male collectors usually like military buttons, railroad buttons, buttons from police and fire uniforms. I’d always save the extra packets [of buttons that come with clothes] – if you have the heart of a collector, you don’t throw much away.

I’ve always been [supportive of] the Island of Misfit Toys. I love finding something to do with the extras and common buttons because in the serious collector’s world, they’re shunned.

Button collectors generally live a pretty long time. Doing something with your hands gets you into that mindful state which is very beneficial.

Why do you support preserving Gurnee’s history?

I grew up in Taylorville, Ill., about 30 miles south of Springfield. Gurnee reminds

me of my childhood. Ms. Hewitt loved growing up here. When I first moved to Lake County, everything felt so vast, but in Gurnee, I could feel that hometown atmosphere again.

me have everything that he had left – family photos and [Sam Birne’s] old salesman case from the early 1900s.

Why do people volunteer at The Button Room?

Black and white mustaches. The [British] royal family – I expect there’ll be a button for the new baby before long.

There’s a creative aspect for volunteers, creating things out of buttons for our gift shop. It’s been therapeutic. Grace Felton is 96 years old and has been volunteering every Tuesday. She lost her partner shortly after we opened, and it has been a rough transition for her. She finds comfort, a community and a place where she’s needed at The Button Room.

What’s your favorite button?

When is your next button show?

I love the Sam Birne buttons. His is an American dream story. He came to New York City from Hungary and sold artwork on the street. Next thing you know, he had a button factory with 92 employees. [Hewitt] introduced me to Sam Birne buttons. They’re solidly made and have his name on them.

Out of the blue, I got an email from Sam Birne’s son, and I felt like Bon Jovi called. In August, I drove out and he let

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, at Millburn Church, 19073 W. Grass Lake Road, Lake Villa.

For information on The Button Room, visit www. thebuttonroom.com.

What’s your vision?

I want this to be a gathering place. We’re a hometown museum, not this elite “don’t touch” kind of place.

What’s trending in buttons?

Teacher wrote the book on environment

By SHERYL DEVORE editorial@lakecountysuburbanlife.com James Dauray recently did a blind taste test of two different milks with his environmental science class. His students incorrectly guessed that one sample was whole milk and the other was skim milk.

But that was OK. Dauray, author of the newly released “Idiot’s Guide to the Environment,” wasn’t looking for correct answers. Instead, he wanted the blind taste test to lead to a discussion on how America’s food is raised. One milk came from a grass-fed cow on an organic farm; the other didn’t, which led to the discussion is either one better for the environment.

That’s Dauray’s goal as an environmental science teacher at Warren Township High School in Gurnee, and at the College of Lake County in Grayslake – to create a dialog that relates science to ethics.

Dauray, who lives with his wife and young son in Round Lake, begins with the science, then continues with the ethics. That’s also how he approached his book, just published by Alpha, a member of Penguin Group Inc. “First, you teach the basic natural ecology, and hold off on any human influence or interaction,” he said. Then he introduces the human population, how fast it is growing and how it affects the earth.

The book concludes with ethics, the difficult questions on meeting the needs of humans while protecting the earth.

“You can’t appreciate the impact we’ve had on the earth unless you understand the earth without humans,” Dauray said.

“If I start out with global warming instead of the [students or readers] understanding how coral reefs work – they are less likely to be concerned about our impact on coral reefs,” he said.

And yes, for the record, Dauray said global climate change is real and being exacerbated by humans.

“We can’t argue with sci-

Former student Brittany Breaux, who contributed the illustrations to his book, said Dauray helped her more clearly see the human connection to the environment.

“I think I went into that class pretty passionate about the environment, but he has changed my views to encompass interest toward not only nature conservation, but human sustainability,” Breaux said. “It’s not just a matter of being a tree hugger.”

Dauray grew up in rural America, studied to be a veterinarian, and then decided he wanted to teach. His dedication to the profession can be found on his website, Aurumscience.com, where he offers all his science lessons to download for free.

The publisher of the Idiot’s Guides series contacted him and asked whether he would submit a sample chapter. Dau-

ray asked Breaux to contribute the drawings. He began in August 2012 and completed the book by January 2013.

Dauray said he would like the book to be a supplemental guide to environmental science texts for students as well as an introduction to the public on the subject, which he says is one of the most complex in science.

His wife, Jeanne Marie Dauray, said she encouraged her husband to write the book because “there’s an opportunity to reach a wider audience. That’s a good thing.”

“I’m an advocate of getting information out there,” added Jeanne Marie, an issues team coordinator for Progressive Democrats of America.

The couple do what they can to practice sustainable living.

“We do the basics – organic, sustainable farming. We try to stay away from farmraised fish. We have a small

garden with no chemicals,” Jeanne Marie Dauray said.

They also buy eggs laid by cage-free hens who aren’t fed antibiotics, and grass-fed milk for their son, Patrick.

“I feel responsible to practice what I teach,” James Dauray said. Otherwise, he said, he “can’t stand up there and go through the issues” in front of his students.

He understands that buying these items can be a financial burden. He said they pay an extra $2 to $3 a gallon for organic milk.

According to his students, it tastes better as well. That’s what they determined in the blind taste test. One tasted richer, creamier, fuller, and they thought it was whole milk, he said. The other tasted bland, like skim milk. Both were 2 percent, he said, and the better-tasting one was the organic milk.

Even though James Dauray has certain beliefs re-

garding the environment, he said he tries not to sway his students.

“I very seldom will give them a straightforward opinion. I try to say as unbiased as I can about the issues,” he said.

He said researching the book has helped him to do so even more. For example, he mentions in the book the issue of the Hetch Hetchy Valley in California and the dam that naturalist John Muir did not want to be built there in the 1920s.

Humans needed water and the dam provided that and yet the valley’s natural beauty and ecosystem was compromised by the massive structure. He talks to his students about drilling for oil in the Arctic. Is it right?

“There’s really not a right answer,” he said, regarding the issue. “Every [environmental] debate is like that – it’s complex and messy.”

WADSWORTH – Gov. Pat Quinn on Thursday announced a capital investment of more than $239,000 for a construction project in Wadsworth.

The area involved is the junction of Interstate 94/U.S. 41 and Russell Road. Work has been underway, and this project will involve grading to smooth out the area, followed by placement

of topsoil, sod and seeding.

Berger Excavating Contractors Inc. of Wauconda was the lowest of five bidders at $239,132.

The project will be managed by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

This project is part of Quinn’s $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! program, the largest capital construction program in Illinois history.

And as a chiropractor, I was especially impressed with the approach at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA). My dedicated team of cancer experts combined advanced cancer treatments based on my specific needs with supportive therapies like acupuncture, nutritional counseling, and chiropractic care to help ease the side effects of my treatment. I know it made me a much better fighter.

the IRS, he said. He said having a national energy policy that is more self-sufficient and supporting science, technology, engineering and mathematics education also are methods of investing in small businesses.

Hultgren has heard from residents in his district who are frustrated by health-care reform, he said.

“They’re receiving [insurance] cancellation notices, looking for replacements and finding costs are much higher,” he said. “There’s a lot of anger and fear of what will come. Health-care providers have questions without answers.”

His personal priority is to make sure people can get affordable, quality care that is doctor to patient focused, he said.

“I wish more was happening quickly. We’re hearing that people don’t like this law,” Hultgren said. “If we can keep three promises – that they can keep their plan, keep

their doctor and we can lower the cost of health care – that’s what we need to do.”

Hultgren said his priorities for helping Lake County in 2014 include addressing flooding and water-quality issues and working with law enforcement to address issues such as the heroin epidemic and human trafficking.

“We’re going into 2014 trying to get more awareness that [the heroin epidemic] is going on here,” he said. “We’re feeling the effects of gang and drug problems in Chicago.

We’re working with coroners who’ve seen the tragic results of overdoses.”

Hultgren met with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office to discuss whether current drug laws are adequate and what resources law enforcement agencies need.

Hultgren said people need to realize that human trafficking happens in Lake County.

“With O’Hare being a hub for transport, people are coming here to work and being

forced to stay in lower paying jobs” by employers who offer workers help with immigration and then use their non-citizen status against them, he said.

“Sex trafficking is also an issue that impacts us,” Hultgren said. “We started a bipartisan resolution between House and Senate legislators who are fathers and mothers to say our daughters are not for sale and we need to protect them from perpetrators.

We’re seeing damage that’s done physically and emotionally.”

Hultgren’s big picture goal for 2014 is addressing the national debt.

“The debt and continuing burden of it – to me it’s generational theft to force these debts on our kids,” he said. “We’re a divided government as far as parties go but we have to work together for the sake of future generations. The real way to gain revenue is to start growing the community and cut out waste and fraud.”

WAUKEGAN – Manufacturing was on the mind of U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren as he met with local business leaders Dec. 6 at Laserage Technology Corp.

Hultgren, a Republican who represents the 14th Congressional District, said manufacturing is important to his district, and he met with local businesses to discuss their needs for expansion and job creation.

In Lake County, Hultgren’s district includes Lake Villa, Antioch, Lindenhurst, Old Mill Creek, Wauconda, Wadsworth, Beach Park, Island Lake, and parts of Gurnee and Wauconda.

Hultgren said this year he’s focused on growing jobs and small businesses to support the economy and being visible and accessible to respond to the county’s concerns.

“I’ve been meeting with all levels of elected officials

to find ways to cooperate, get things done and find out how we can fight for Lake County,” he said.

Hultgren voted with the House to pass the bipartisan H.R. 1105, Small Business Capital Access and Job Preservation Act, a bill he co-sponsored. It reduces costs for Rep. Randy private equity Hultgren firms, allowing for increased investment into small businesses.

Hultgren said he’s been asking small businesses which regulation is most frustrating.

“The biggest thing is the burden of regulatory compliance. ... Small banks need to be treated differently than Wall Street giants,” he said.

Hultgren co-sponsored two pieces of legislation aimed at relieving the heavy burdens placed on small businesses by

Gearing up for battle

LEFT: Kuscsik points to the name of the robot, called Yamaki after Hiroshi Yamaki, a mentor from Underwriters Laboratories.

Before they became an FTC team, Steven Margis and his son Kevin competed in FIRST LEGO League, building robots out of LEGOs. Steven Margis said he’s seen his son Kevin’s confidence increase.

“He was normally very reserved, but toward the end of the [FLL] season, he really wanted to answer judges’ questions and couldn’t contain his enthusiasm.”

At the Jan. 25 competition, students will compete head-tohead using a sports model. In pairs, teams are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete against other teams

on a 12-by-12-foot field.

Robots are built from a reusable platform and teams can choose from two programming languages.

Teams are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles.

Awards are given for the competition, as well as community outreach, design and other real-world accomplishments, Steven Margis said.

Many of the robots’ parts are available in a kit from FIRST, but additional parts are bought online using funds from sponsors such as Underwriters Laboratories, where Steven Margis is director of

certification programs.

The Dynamics Signals team stays connected to other teams in the area. “[In November] we had mentoring sessions with FTC Teams in Highland Park and Elgin,” he said.

“Each site has a team that made last years’ world championships. We learned about FTC firsthand at the season’s first Block Party Scrimmage. We also were treated to an ‘engineering’ exchange and tour with staff at Arens in Arlington Heights.”

Follow the team’s happenings at www.7351.us. For information on FIRST, visit www.usfirst.org.

“We can build whatever we want and see if it works – stuff no one has ever come up with.”

GURNEE – Steven Margis’ basement in his Gurnee home transforms into a lab each week when Dynamics Signals Team 7351 gathers to build a robot that will be able to pick up blocks and put them in a basket, raise a flag and compete against others at a FIRST Tech Challenge qualifying tournament Jan. 25.

“We are proud to be the first FIRST Tech Challenge team ever from Gurnee,” Margis said.

His FTC team is at the middle-school level, while Warren Township High School’s 60-member Robotics Club participates in FIRST Robotics Competition each year.

Margis hopes to form an FTC developmental program at Woodland Middle School.

FIRST is a national organization that works to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities, including self-confidence, communication and leadership.

“What I really like is that statistics show that there are a lot of scholarships out there for kids who go through this program,” Margis said.

“There is a high demand [for professionals] in technology careers.”

The team started with Margis and Steven Kuscsik and their sons Kevin Margis and Alex Kuscsik, and grew when the boys invited their friends Leo Forney and Fritz Clark.

They’re on a “quest from Edison to Einstein as we seek to establish a sustainable program for Gurnee kids throughout the FIRST program continuum,” Steven Margis said.

On Nov. 6, the four team members and two coaches met to work on building an arm capable of grasping a horizontal pole 32 inches off the ground and pulling the robot up.

The Dynamics Signals team named their basement lab Edison Field as a reference to the FIRST Championship’s Einstein Field.

A bust of Edison decorates the space, which has an open area to practice maneuvering the robot.

Alex Kuscsik said being on the team has made him closer with his dad, and he wants to be an engineer when he grows up.

“We can build whatever we want and see if it works – stuff no one has ever come up with,” he said. He worked with Forney to develop an arm out of a metal piece typically used to slide drawers.

“We need it to extend, and then we need something to hook and grab the bar,” he told Forney.

Forney came up for the idea by Google-searching parts companies use for a similar purpose.

Meanwhile, Kevin Margis and Fritz Clark, Woodland seventh-graders, were working on the gears to spring the arm.

Kevin Margis said he’s interested in the programming side of engineering, and programmed his bedroom door to open by sensor. He changed it slightly when his dog kept setting it off, he said.

Steven Margis said that as someone who came of age at the beginning of the video game and personal computer era, it’s amazing to see middle-schoolers sitting at a computer, rendering a robot in 3-D to figure out what they should build.

“It’s amazing to see them using professional grade software at age 12,” he said.

Creativity shines in gingerbread house contests

By JESSE CARPENDER jcarpender@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – Fox Lake’s seventh annual gingerbread house competition has a variety of clever houses, said Linnea Pioro, executive director of Fox Lake Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

“One woman’s gingerbread house was eaten by her dog, and she made another one with a brick fireplace made of jellybeans,” Pioro said.

Forty-four houses were entered to the contest this year, Pioro said.

“Some are very simple, from a premade kit for schools, and then we have an entry that looks like a sleigh and another which is a tribute to the Blackhawks with the Stanley Cup in the background,” she said.

“The coolest thing to see is how people design the roofs,” Pioro said. “Someone used different-colored gum strips, another used popcorn, then there’s shredded wheat, lico-

rice bites, Oreo cookies and pretzel sticks.”

Some of the houses reference Lake County, with little lake houses and docks, she said.

Pioro’s grandchildren have participated since the contest’s first year.

“This year my grandson made one with cars, and my granddaughter was into the candy toppings,” she said.

The gingerbread houses will be on display through Dec. 16 at host businesses including Fox Lake Toyota Scion, 75 Route 12; Paradise Jewelry and Treasures, 27 N. Route 12; BMO Harris Bank, 1310 S. Route 12; and Dry Dock Laundromat, 509 Washington St. in Ingleside.

The houses are judged according to four age groups, and winners will receive gift certificates to area businesses, Pioro said. All entrants will receive a T-shirt with a photo of their gingerbread house.

How to prevent tension headaches

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com

Tarah Thorne – tthorne@shawmedia.com

Denise Smith is one of several headache physical therapists at Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers – Barrington. Smith said the holiday season is a peak time for headaches. The center at 455 W. Northwest Highway offers free screenings for anyone experiencing aches and pains.

Rehabilitation Centers – Barrington said these statistics are scary because tension-type headaches also can be associated with musculoskeletal problems in the neck and can last hours or days.

Smith said that she believes

tension-type headaches are on the rise now that people are using electronics regularly and often looking down for long periods of time.

According to a 2013 survey by the American Psychological Association, 44 percent of

people in the U.S. have cited a headache as a physical symptom of stress.

Barrington resident Susannah Van Dam was one of these 120 million-plus head-

Meanwhile in Grayslake, there’s still time to enter the gingerbread house contest.

Miss Grayslake Kylie Galiano, Junior Miss Grayslake Jennifer Swierczek, Little Miss Grayslake Piper Gallaher and Tiny Miss Grayslake Lyma Schaefer are putting together a gingerbread house contest to benefit PLAN Food Pantry. Contestants are invited to build a house and display it Dec. 13-14 at the Grayslake Heritage Center & Museum, 164 Hawley St. The public will be invited to view the entries 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 14 and from noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 15. Visitors are encouraged to make a donation of nonperishable food items to the PLAN Food Pantry.

For information or to enter, email missgrayslake2013@ prodigy.net.

1. Control your caffeine intake – some headaches are triggered by too much, some by too little.

2. Practice healthy eating/snacking and portion control (avoid too much tyramine, a substance present in aged cheeses, chocolate, alcohol, some nuts and smoked meats).

3. Eat high-protein foods in the morning.

4. Limit alcohol (contains tyramine, acts as an anti-inflammatory, and dehydrates).

5. Stay hydrated.

6. Try lavender and lemon oil steam/aromatherapy.

7 Treat yourself to a self-scalp and neck massage (tennis balls in a sock).

8. Perform stretching exercises.

9. Get at least 30 minutes of cardio every day.

10. Incorporate physical therapy and daily exercise into your routine.

BARRINGTON – A special doctor is in the house this stressful season. She cannot award shopping sprees or kitchen aid, but local physical therapist Denise Smith is tackling the headaches of the holidays one patient at a time.

The stress of the holiday season may present a dangerous scenario for headache sufferers, with pain being triggered by a number of stressors, ranging from the pressure of meeting year-end deadlines to unregulated eating or disrupted sleep. Santa isn’t alone in working late nights.

More than 70 percent of some world populations experience tension-type headaches. Yet headache disorders are not perceived by the public as serious since they are mostly episodic and an estimated 50 percent of headache sufferers are self-treating, according to the World Health Organization.

ache sufferers until recently.

Beginning in mid-June when she was in the middle of a move, Van Dam was experiencing debilitating headaches, with pain so severe that prescribed medication would not bring relief. Smith treated Van Dam, eliminating the headaches after two physical therapy sessions.

After being diagnosed with neck pain, Van Dam told Smith that she was experiencing chronic, daily headaches from muscle tension in her neck and shoulders.

“It was very uncomfortable,” Van Dam said. “I was caught in a cycle of the wrong muscle groups being worked, and Denise was very talented with providing individualized treatment.”

After a free initial headache screening, Smith said Van Dam showed all the signs of cerviogenic (tension) headaches and had specific muscle imbalances where certain neck muscles were being overworked in order to compensate for other, underworked muscles.

“Susannah was the perfect patient because she was compliant and motivated,” Smith said. “Plus, she was a good example of your average case.

She wasn’t involved in a car accident or anything like that – just a typical, busy woman caring for grandkids and everyday business.”

Smith said that she and the two other headache specialists at Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers–Barrington continue to treat several patients each week.

Van Dam now is finished with headache physical therapy treatment, but she continues to practice the at-home ex-

ercises that Smith taught her whenever tension arises. Van Dam said she believes daily stressors do cause tension, and she now has the confidence to evaluate the problem and find relief.

For others experiencing chronic pain, Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers–Barrington offers free first-time screenings. During these initial consultations, a headache physical therapist assesses a patient’s medical history, range of neck motion, posture and joint mobility.

The therapist then develops a treatment plan or refers the headache sufferer onto a qualified physician for further evaluation.

Smith said the free screenings are intended to offset the peak headache season associated with the holidays and help patients better understand their headache triggers and treatment options.

“We could not be doing what we are doing if we had not had the great opportunity to join the FBDC and we are incredibly grateful for the help we’ve received. We’re so excited to be able to graduate from this incubator program and move to Casey Farm. My wife, Alison Parker, and I are thrilled to continue to grow our business at a more permanent location.”

Modeled after the business incubator model of the tech industry, the Farm Business Development Center allows new farmers to establish their business on a small acreage and gradually scale up to serve the local food needs of the region.

The center provides certified organic land, farm infrastructure and a learning environment that helps beginning farmers develop the entrepreneurial skills, farming knowledge and market networks needed to become successful professionals. Farmers are a part of the incubator for no more than five years, at which time they graduate to the next level of independence.

Radical Root’s transition to Casey Farm was made possible through a partnership between Conserve Lake County, the Lake County Forest Preserve District, and the Liberty Prairie Foundation.

Radical Root Farm produces certified organic vegetables and free-range eggs.

Their 100-member community-supported agriculture program serves customers in suburban Grayslake and Libertyville as well as the Lakeview, Edgewater, Lincoln Park, and Logan Square neighborhoods in Chicago. They also participate in Chicago’s Logan Square and Green City Farmers Markets.

Radical Root has been farming since 2009, and has participated in the Farm Business Development Center at the Prairie Crossing Farm in Grayslake since 2010.

Auto Parts City Inc.’s offices, yard and retail stores in Gurnee are heated by waste oil the business drains from vehicles. The trucks are fueled by recycled gasoline and the picnic tables outside are made from recycled tires.

“We’re trying to change the junk yard image of auto recycling,” said Jay Brosten, who runs the business with his brother Larry Brosten.

“It’s not the old image of cars strewn all over. It’s a systematic process.” Auto Parts City is the cleanest operation in the state, said Jay, of Lincolnshire.

When a car comes to Auto Parts City at 3455 Washington St., brought in by towing companies in Lake or Cook County or sold by an individual, it is put in a lot to await disassembly. About 1,200 cars fill the two lots.

Personal belongings left in the car like sweaters or CDs are placed in bins for the Salvation Army, Jay said. Then the vehicle is hoisted up, and the draining process begins.

“We were the first U.S. operation to install the English system, Crow Environmental, that we use to drain all of the fluids from a vehicle,” he said.

“Basically, it’s the simplicity of the draining apparatus that makes it unique. It vacuum-drains to separate out brake fluid, oil, anti-freeze.

The nice thing about it is that it has a gas tank purge system.”

Recycled fluids are sold at

Auto Parts City’s retail store.

A glass company removes glass for recycling. Other salvageable parts are organized and stored or sold. Pointing to piles of about 1,000 tires, Jay said that’s the most expensive and difficult part to recycle.

“My nephew is working on developing a process to melt them down,” Jay said.

Jay said hybrid electric cars present more of a challenge to recycle, because they are more dangerous to disassemble and require special gloves and equipment. “We have a better way of recycling late models,” he said.

A car in the garage on Oct. 24 had been sitting in the previous owner’s garage for 30 years, Jay said. “The plates are from 1985. But we charged the battery and fluids, put some air in the tires and it started up.”

Customers can donate a Jesse Carpender – jcarpender@shawmedia.com car’s value to charity, such Jay Brosten stands in front of a vehicle having its fluids drained for recycling at Auto Parts City. as ElderCARE or the Make A Wish Foundation, through Auto Parts City. “We take a vehicle in, determine if it’s worth fixing and then the charity gets the value of whatever it sells for,” he said.

Mary Ellen Saunders of ElderCARE said, “Although we haven’t had anyone donate a vehicle yet, ElderCARE can receive the proceeds from the sale of a donated vehicle through them. Auto Parts City in Gurnee does some amazing things with auto recycling.”

The Brostens started auto recycling in 1938, when Jay and Larry Brosten’s grandfa® POPS SERVED IN THE U.S. NAVY FROM 1969-1973.

• AUTO CITY PARTS Continued from page 18 ther owned Midwest Tire in Chicago.

Eventually it became HyWay Auto, operating in unincorporated Lake County. In 1961, the business moved to Park City.

In 1976, they were operating a “state-of-the-art yard, as the pre-dismantling foreign auto specialists in the Midwest,” Jay said.

As a kid, Jay would cut and remove car parts for the family business.

He has a scar on his face from doing that when he was about 10 years old.

“One of my first cars was a wrecked Cadillac,” he said.

He bought and fixed it up with the Hy-Way crew.

In 1984, another business, City Auto Parts, became available.

They bought it, but it was grandfathered in that they couldn’t expand or build up the business, Jay said.

In 2004, Ford Motor Company bought Hy-Way Auto Parts Inc. “Ford was diversifying and

buying out old yards,” he said.

The result was that “Our old operation became our biggest competitor,” Jay said.

But the Brostens’ new business, Auto Parts City, was in a different industry than the Ford-owned Hy-Way Auto Parts.

“We do more retail now.

Hy-Way Auto catered to insurance companies and dealerships. Here we’re buying cars by weight,” he said.

It took Auto Parts City four years under contract before they were able to open in their current location in Gurnee.

Jay and Larry’s father, Hy Brosten, died before the grand opening at 94 years old, but was able to see the soft opening, Jay said.

“He was a very easy-going, soft-spoken person,” Jay said.

“He could be very stubborn.

He was our PR man. Everyone in Lake County knew him, there wasn’t a place we’d go that someone wouldn’t talk to him.”

Hy is memorialized on a stone looking out over a lot of cars that will be recycled.

Engraved are his famous words, “Don’t worry, everything will be alright.”

McMahon and Harding agree that job seekers also should include non-paid work experiences.

Harding acted as her mother’s primary caregiver for a few months when her mother had brain surgery, strokes and other medical complications, she said.

“People do not realize they can list unpaid jobs,” Harding said. “I was an advocate for her. If I hadn’t been there [for my mom at the hospital] they would have sent her home [without follow up care].

“Whether you’re a stay at

Other skills to consider are those earned through volunteer positions, McMahon said.

Harding said that meeting with career counselors at College of Lake County helped her navigate through an otherwise daunting job search.

“It was affirming,” Harding said. “I had struggled with having so many different skill sets. I don’t want to do the same thing every day – that’s why I like contracts.

“You have to figure out a way to make [your skill sets] work for you.”

Local musician toured UK in honor of famous friend

By JESSE CARPENDER jcarpender@shawmedia.com GURNEE – Lisa Weyerhaeuser never expected to have a professional music career, or to go on a 12-day tour of the United Kingdom performing her Christian folk music.

But the day she met Larry Norman, one of the first Christian rock artists, the seeds for Weyerhauser’s music career were planted.

The musicians first met decades ago, when Weyerhaeuser was working as an entertainment reporter at Trinity College’s newspaper.

Norman came to perform at the college, and when Weyerhaeuser interviewed him after the show, she realized she was speaking to someone who had influenced her musically.

“Larry Norman is considered the grandfather of Christian rock,” Weyerhae-

user said. “In the late ‘60s, he was in a secular band called People. They had a huge hit, ‘I Love You,’ which hit No. 1 on the charts.”

Norman had some disagreements with his bandmates because he wanted to write all the songs about God, and insisted that the album be titled “We Need More Jesus and Less Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

They went with “I Love You” as the album title.

Norman left the band, but the band’s label, Capitol Records, “let him have carte blanche of whatever he wanted on the solo record,” Weyerhaeuser said. “He put Christian music to rock, and it sounded just like everything else out there at that time – Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, the bands of the day.”

Norman looked like a hippie, with long blond hair and a leather jacket, Weyerhaeuser said. “He was too rock

‘n’ roll for Christians, and too Christian for rock n’ roll.”

Capitol Records dropped him, and he ended up on a Christian label.

While Weyerhaeuser didn’t listen to much Christian music growing up, during Norman’s concert at her college, she recognized songs such as “I Wish We’d All Been Ready,” which she’d sung at church events.

Her interview with Norman began a long friendship, and they’d meet up whenever he was touring in the area.

Until someone approached him, Weyerhaeuser often would forget Norman was famous; to her, he was just a good friend.

Norman performed at Weyerhaeuser’s wedding to Dan Weyerhaeuser, who is a pastor at Lakeland Church in Gurnee.

We often forget about the relationship part,” she said.

John Payne, who has played bass with Weyerhaeuser for 25 years, said her song-writing touches people on a personal level.

“She’s a dear friend and really a joy to play music with,” he said.

In October, Weyerhaeuser went on a 12-day tour of the United Kingdom to perform Norman’s music, along

with songs from “Caught In Time and Space.”

Her music-world connections through Norman made it possible, she said.

The tour began Oct. 2 in London.

She performed at churches, coffee houses and festivals in Cambridge, Liverpool, Hartlee Pool and Leeds in England, and in Wigtown, Scotland.

As a sort of wedding gift, during the reception he offered to produce her second record. Her first record was self-produced; she plays guitar and sings.

In 1988, Weyerhaeuser made the first of a couple of trips to California to work on her album, “Caught In Time,” with Norman.

It was finished in 1991, but Weyerhaeuser had to negotiate being a musician with raising a family. Over the past 10 years, she released three more albums, including an album of songs for kids, and started her own record company while raising and homeschooling three sons.

“Sadly, Larry passed away in 2008,” Weyerhaeuser said. She has a memento of him – the leather jacket he used to wear on tour, which she’s wearing on the album cover of “Caught In Time and Space,” a rerelease of the album Norman produced that came out this year.

“It’s my way of honoring him,” she said.

Her favorite track is “Closest Friend,” a duet she and Norman cowrote.

on the tour. Though he never knew Norman, Banach said, “It seems like he touched a lot of people over there [in the UK] with his music and it was amazing to see how they reacted.”

Banach, Elk Grove Village resident, has played with Weyerhaeuser for 12 years.

“Lisa is a unique songwriter – everything she writes is distinctly Lisa.

It doesn’t sound like anyone else,” he said.

While on tour, Banach wrote a song titled “How Did We Get Here?” to express his amazement at the opportunity. His favorite song to play on tour was Norman’s “Goodbye, Farewell,” a lyrical recap of Norman’s life.

Weyerhaeuser said the best part of the tour was being able to connect with fans of Norman’s who came to hear his songs again.

“One guy at the Liverpool concert came up to me with tears in his eyes and said it was so special to him to hear those songs. He told me, ‘I don’t imagine anyone could do a better job honoring his music than you.’ That was the most meaningful comment of the tour.”

In February and March, Weyerhaeuser will tour the U.S. with King James, a Christian hard rock band featuring Rex Carol of White Cross.

Are the Browns the cupcake the Bears need?

Hub Arkush

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

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

Ah, but looks can be deceiving.

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

While the Browns record is weak, they do own victories over the Bengals and Ravens, and they actually had a 2614 lead last week in New England with only two minutes remaining before the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He’s caught 72 passes for 825 yards and seven touchdowns on the year.

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

The Browns’ defense has been

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

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

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

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

GOOD OLD DAYS

Antioch volleyball star’s legacy shines

By BILL PEMSTEIN lcjedit@lakecountyjournal.com It’s all been forgiven now.

After all, the former Libertyville High School star Christine Marchinski was a bridesmaid in Katie Hofeldt’s wedding.

But let’s go back to the winter of 2004. That’s when these two athletes met on a volleyball court at Libertyville. Underdog Antioch was the visitor with its special player Hofeldt ready to do some damage.

“I hit the ball to the 10-foot line,’’ Hofeldt said. “You should have seen her face.

The ball went right at her. It hit the floor. I could see her face. She was saying, ‘I hate you.’ I was thinking, ‘Oh, my God.’ And I started screaming; I just loved high school volleyball.”

Hofeldt has returned to the area where she became arguably the best volleyball player ever to hit a volleyball at Antioch High School.

She is teaching chemistry and coaching a very good and young Lakes High School volleyball squad. Her players know her as Mrs. Katie Cheek.

However, unless they have done extensive research, they

Katie Hofeldt was a star volleyball player for Antioch High School. She went on to compete collegiately for Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. Here, she is shown during a game against Unversity of Missouri-St. Louis. Today, she is teaching chemistry and coaching volleyball at Lakes High School. won’t know how powerful a player their coach really was.

Former Stevenson coach Bob Schenk came to coach Antioch in 2002. He watched as Hofeldt made a name for herself.

“Katie worked very hard to develop her talent, and by the time she was a senior,

she became one of the most dominating players in Lake County,’’ Schenk said. “We were able to use Katie as an outside hitter, and she was able to hit play sets that most other players could not.”

It’s still a wonder that Hofeldt-Cheek actually became a volleyball player. She

was involved in other sports growing up.

“I took basketball more seriously,’’ she said. “And I played softball. I knew nothing about volleyball.”

So one of her friends suggested that she come along to a club volleyball practice one day.

“I was pretty tall,’’ she said. “The coach was worried that I had never played before, but he liked that I was 5-foot-10.”

Maybe it wasn’t love at first sight, but Hofeldt-Cheek was drawn to this fall sport.

“I began to learn the game,’’ she said. “I learned there was a lot more to it.”

And she began to see the country through her travels with Net Force and Sky High.

“We won a championship at Penn State,’’ she said. “We went to a qualifier in Texas.

We went to Florida a few times.”

And she joined up with the likes of setter Maggie Lonergan and Tracy Heitman. The Sequoits of Antioch began to chalk up some wins.

And there was some fun along the way. Hofeldt-Cheek felt her team got a boost when the affable Schenk joined up.

“Mr. Schenk was the best,’’ she said. “They called us trash because we were from Antioch. But he made it so much fun. One day, we came in with giant sunglasses. We were so goofy.”

The fun went along with a 30-win season. The so-called underdog Sequoits won a

that she is in the picture for the best outside hitter I have ever coached. Two of my former players became All-Americans and others have achieved great success on the collegiate level, but they played in different positions than Katie did.”

regional championship, toppling Warren.

In the process, the hard-hitting Hofeldt broke her own school record for kills in a season (379) and digs (258). In one match, she nailed 22 kills.

“In her senior season, we rode her back to a regional championship and a school record of 30 wins and seven losses,’’ Schenk said.

“Throughout that season, Katie was our go-to hitter. No matter who we played, Katie always dominated the net. Even against traditional powers like Stevenson or Libertyville, you could always count on Katie to put the ball away. “ This so-called new volleyball player now was garnering attention. Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville offered a full-ride volleyball scholarship.

“It was so intense,’’ she said. “I started as a freshman. We were awesome. We went to the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. I really started to learn the game. I didn’t know I would be good at volleyball.”

Schenk is fully aware of the talent that Hofeldt had when he showed up at Antioch.

And he had coached plenty of talented volleyball players during his decade as coach at Stevenson.

“Ranking Katie against the outstanding players that I was fortunate to coach at Stevenson and other schools, Katie definitely ranks among the top hitters and all-around players,’’ Schenk said. “In fact, I would say

SeeingItThrough

Nursing homes are regulated for good reason Many years ago, I was asked by a friend to look at what she thought was inappropriate. She said a nursing home was abusing her brother’s funds at the facility.

At the time, I found that if a facility was careless about one phase of its responsibilities, you can expect that it might be negligent on other practices of care and conditions at the facility.

Because so many seniors are at nursing homes, and often don’t have a voice in government to protect against their grievances, I was always doubly concerned when violations were overlooked.

Naturally, nursing homes are regulated, but if inattention to care, health and safety of residents do exist, it is a disregard of their general

John S. Matijevich

welfare.

These concerns were recalled when a reader referred me to a nursing home in Milwaukee County, which was cited in August for 28 federal violations. Five of the violations put residents in serious jeopardy of harm or injury. In fact, one resident who needed close monitoring to make sure he wore his oxygen mask was found with the mask on his forehead without a pulse and turning purple. Within an hour, he died because of

the negligent inattention.

The facility also was cited for a systemic failure to correctly administer medications. I’m led to believe, from what I read, that overdosing residents with anti-depressant drugs can be a severe problem at some facilities.

There is a danger where nursing homes are near business districts that residents who are on medications will walk away from their facility. They buy alcohol beverages and when that is mixed with their medications, it can result in extreme harm.

It is important to report that the majority of nursing homes have quality conditions for their residents.

But it is also important to acknowledge that there must be continual vigilance over

all facilities to ensure that the health and safety of residents are guaranteed.

The facility in Milwaukee County, on its own, is seeking permission to close its operation. It faces daily fines, so it is apparent that the ownership is looking for ways out of its fiscal dilemma. My question would be, since the facility has a long record of regulatory violations, why has it taken so long to close the facility?

To citizens who have their loved ones in nursing homes, it is best from the outset that they pick a nursing home with the reputation of providing the highest quality of treatment and care of its residents. Yes, most are reliable because it’s in their best interests to be in compli-

ance with all the regulations imposed on them.

The Milwaukee County home said it wants to close because the 55-year-old facility is outdated and isn’t able to be competitive. I am led to believe that its negligent operation finally caught up with the operators. I applaud the state for finally applying the pressure to force the facility to discontinue.

Regulations are imposed to protect the general welfare of nursing home residents, so that incidents such as existed in the above facility do not happen elsewhere.

soliciting donations to ease the suffering borne by the poor.

Only after visits by four ghosts are Scrooge’s eyes opened and he gets a chance to rediscover the true meaning of life and love. The first specter is that of his dour old business partner, the deceased Jacob Marley (Joe Foust), who appears weighted down by chains linked to a cashbox.

Scrooge is forewarned that he’s in for a wild ride; little does he know how traumatic it will be.

High-flying Ghosts of Christmas Past (Elizabeth Ledo), Present (A.C. Smith) and Future (Robert Hope) resurrect memories – many of them painful – of events that have thus far molded Scrooge’s life. Cumulatively these confrontations work like a charm, and witnessing his transformation never grows old.

Other standouts in the cast include Michael Aaron Lindener and Kim Schultz as the Fezziwigs; Penelope Walker as Mrs. Cratchit; and young Matthew George Abraham as Tiny Tim.

CHICAGO – For many theatergoers, Goodman Theatre’s production of “A Christmas Carol” unofficially ushers in the holiday season.

The play, based on Charles Dickens’ inspired 1843 novella, is enjoying its 36th annual production at the theater, and it remains as timely as ever.

Goodman’s wonderful 27-member cast includes 14 new faces and 13 returning performers led by stage veteran Larry Yando, who brings depth to the Ebenezer Scrooge, the lead character he already has played for six years running.

Henry Wishcamper, new this time around as director, sticks to Tom Creamer’s adaptation but keeps it fresh, adding a few new touches to the set and emphasis on the tale’s underlying message of hope and redemption.

The unforgettable story follows the cheerless Scrooge, a miserly, misanthropic man of business in Victorian London who has devoted his life accumulating wealth.

He disdains Christmas and has no charitable feelings for the downtrodden.

As Scrooge, Yando is convincing as a confirmed penny-pincher who keeps his distance from his only relative, nephew Fred (Anish Jethmalani); badgers his timid clerk Bob Cratchit (Ron Rains); and turns his back on local do-gooders (Steven Pringle and Sarah Chalcroft),
