Investigators: No wrongdoing in quarry blast SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com McCOOK – Was it an earthquake, or an explosion?

This was the biggest question many had after a seismic event Nov. 4 shook buildings throughout the western suburbs.

“It’s unusual to have that many people feel it,” said Paul Caruso, a seismologist at the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center. “Sometimes people do feel quarry blasts. It was a large number of people who went to our website and reported this event.”

To be exact, 864 people reported it – by far the most received in response to any of the 36 seismic events the USGS recorded between Oct. 31 and Nov. 6. Seven seconds before the tremor, at about 12:35 p.m., a blast occurred at the Federal Quarry in McCook. Hanson Material Service Corporation, one of two companies that operates out of the quarry, said it had conducted a scheduled blast and that there was no reason to

think it was connected to the seismic event that followed.

“At this point we still cannot find an obvious connection to the [tremor] other than they were 7 seconds apart,” said Jeff Sieg, spokesperson for Hanson parent company Lehigh Hanson.

The USGS initially classified the event as a 3.7 magnitude earthquake, but quickly changed it to a 3.2 magnitude quarry blast.

“We know what an explosion looks like on a seismic record, and these look like an explosion,” Caruso said.

Experts differ on cause of event Suzan van der Lee, a seismologist and associate professor at Northwestern University, isn’t so sure.

“To me, the seismographs look like they could be an earthquake,” said van der Lee, who examined records of the tremor from a Northwestern-owned seismograph at Ryerson Woods Forest Preserve in Lake County. “The blast would have had to set off

of the Illinois State Geological Survey has worked with quarries in the Chicago area, including the one in McCook.

“Quarries in Illinois have been blasting rocks since the 1830s, and I cant say I’ve come across any connection between seismic events and blasting,” Mikulic said. “Unless it’s happening regularly … it’s difficult to say the quarry is at fault.”

Getting to the bottom of this quandary, therefore, could be as difficult as throwing a rock out of a quarry.

“Could and were are two different things,” said Timothy Larson, senior geophysicist at the Illinois State Geological Survey, about whether the blast and tremor were connected. “It could [be], but was it? That’ll take some major amount of effort to determine if it was in fact related. I don’t know at the moment, and I think there’s going to be a lot of investigation to figure out if in fact it was. That’s a big leap to go from could to even the probability of it being [connected] … It’s hard to say.”

WESTERN SPRINGS – After experiencing the Nov. 4 tremor at his Western Springs home, U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski has requested a federal investigation into the incident that shook buildings and alarmed residents throughout the Chicago

area.

Lipinski sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms asking both agencies to “ascertain whether laws, regulations and protocols may have been violated” regarding the purchase, storage and use of explosives at

much more than 10 times as much as explosive as typical [to register at 3.2 on the Richter Scale]. It seems unlikely that setting off such a large, erroneous amount of explosive would happen by accident, or on purpose.”

Van der Lee said she trusts the USGS classification, but wants to look at records from the quarry to test her hypothesis that what happened Nov. 4 might actually have been an earthquake.

“If you had an earthquake at shallow depths, it could look like an explosion at reasonable distances,” said Ken Smith, associate director of the Seismology at the University of Nevada in Reno.

Earthquake or not, it would seem that the tremor was somehow related to the quarry blast based on their shared timing and location.

“Given the rarity of earthquakes in Illinois, it is extremely unlikely that an earthquake would randomly take place in or near a quarry, within seconds from a blast,” van der Lee said.

McCOOK – A two-day investigation by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources found no wrongdoing by the company at Federal Quarry that conducted a blast seven seconds before the start of a magnitude 3.2 seismic event that was felt across the Chicago area.

The department’s Office of Mines and Minerals (OMM) released a statement Nov. 6 saying Hanson Material Service Corporation operated within the statutory limits for blasting and quarry operation after a state inspector reviewed the company’s blasting records and measurement readings, which were taken properly, the office said.

“In this instance, our inspection found no violations of state law,” said Mike Falter, head of the OMM’s Blasting and Explosives Unit, in the release.

Measurements from the quarry show the blast vibration registered at .35 inches per second, well below the 1 inch-persecond limit set by state regulators.

“Our review of quarry records does show measurement equipment picked up vibrations from a second and separate event approximately seven seconds after the initial blast,” Falter said. “What this secondary event was, or what caused it, is outside our regulatory expertise.”

Quarry blast knocks out restaurant’s ceiling tiles

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com COUNTRYSIDE – Angela Beccara was at home Nov. 4 when a 3.2 magnitude tremor that felt like a light earthquake shook the western suburbs.

She rushed to Little Joe’s restaurant on Plainfield Road, the hot dog and beef joint her family has run since 1969. Upon arrival, she learned the tremor had knocked six ceiling tiles to the floor and shifted the building’s air conditioning ducts.

“My sister and our employee, they ran out the door because they thought the walls were crumbling down,” Beccara said.

So did the 20 or so customers who were in the restaurant. It was 12:35 p.m., lunchtime. Luckily, no one was

beneath the tiles that fell, which were above an area where customers often wait for their food.

“But someone could have been,” Beccara said.

The customers and employees returned soon after, and Beccara said isn’t worried that the restaurant will lose any customers, as many of them are regulars. In fact, a few new customers have stopped in after learning of the restaurant on a WLS-Ch. 7 report.

A city inspector from Countryside stopped by later in the week to see if everything was OK, and Beccara said a company recommended by the restaurant’s insurer will soon visit to check for cracks in the building’s structure.

“Nobody got injured,” Beccara said. “That was our biggest thing.”

Village officials: Quarry blast unacceptable

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – The village isn’t ruling out legal action against Hanson Material Service Corporation for damage to residences caused by a seismic event Nov. 4 that was felt across the Chicago area and as far away as Wisconsin.

Representatives from La Grange and other municipalities were to meet with Hanson officials Tuesday to discuss the incident, which La Grange Assistant Village Manager Andrianna Peterson said was “not acceptable” and “something that cannot occur again.”

“The village is exploring all different types of possibilities to be responsive to resident concerns regarding the ongoing blasting at the quarry,” Peterson said.

At about 12:35 p.m. Monday, seconds after a routine blast conducted by Hanson, a 3.2 magnitude seismic wave shook buildings through-

out the area and alarmed residents, who suspected an earthquake.

La Grange officials are encouraging residents whose property was damaged as a result of the incident to document the damage and report it to the Lyons Township Quarry Complaint Line at 866-9343278. The village is also asking residents who file reports to notify the village manager’s office by calling 708-579-2313.

The village is keeping records of residents filing reports to ensure the claims match those filed with Hanson.

Since Nov. 4, Peterson said the village has received hundreds of calls from residents reporting damage from the incident. Most were not serious, but some reported significant damage, such as cracks in the plaster of their walls.

An evaluation of village facilities determined there was no damage to village property from the incident, Peterson said.

Hanson Director of Corporate Communications Jeff Sieg said in a statement released Nov. 4 that the blast was consistent with typical quarry operations and the seismic event felt seconds later throughout the area was likely unrelated.

After an investigation by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources found Hanson operated within state regulations, the village posted an update on its website that concluded: “These are the first of many steps which need to be taken to advance our interests that fundamental changes to the Hanson Quarry need to occur.”

Peterson was to attend Tuesday’s meeting with Hanson along with Police Chief Mike Holub and possibly Village President Tom Livingston.

“I think something has to change,” Peterson said. “This is an issue of quality of life for residents, and it can’t be tolerated.”

lived there, and I think the prevailing attitude is there’s nothing we can do,” she said.

“It’s extremely powerful. You just sort of live with it and you don’t really think about it much anymore, which is unfortunate. But that’s life.”

Lauterbach had called the quarry’s complaint line periodically over the years. Nothing came of her complaints, but in June, a Hanson official advised her to start keeping a log of the blasts she noticed.

Hanson even drove her into the quarry one day to observe a blast. Dick stayed home with a Hanson employee to gauge the blast from the short distance.

“It was enormous, and actually it was bigger than the guy thought it would be,” Lauterbach said.

The Hanson official said he would look at her log to see if there were any patterns to the more intense blasts that might help the company adjust its blasting to minimize

LA GRANGE – Linda Lauterbach had been noticing a difference lately in the stone blasting at the Federal Quarry, a few hundred yards from the home in the 600 block of 10th Avenue she and her husband have occupied for 38 years.

“Usually, it’s a big blast, the house shakes, over, done,” Lauterbach said.

Lately, she and her husband, Dick, noticed what Dick called a “double shock” – a soft rumble followed by a louder boom.

They’ve put up with the noise and occasional subtle shaking of their house since 1978, but in recent years, they noticed the blasts were louder and more forceful, at least from time to time.

On June 19, Lauterbach started to record the blasts in a log, noting their date and time, the weather conditions and what she heard or felt. On four separate dates in August

Lauterbach said.

At about 12:35 p.m. Nov. 4, Lauterbach was climbing the stairs from her basement to record the small blast she had just heard when a “tremendous shaking” began. What she and residents from across the area were feeling was a 3.2 magnitude seismic wave, comparable to a light earthquake. The tremor, felt as far away as Franklin, Wis., just south of Milwaukee, caused a row of videotapes to fly off the shelf at a neighbor’s house down the street.

Hanson Material Service Corporation, one of two companies that operates out of the McCook quarry, said it had conducted a scheduled blast and that there was no reason to think it was connected to the seismic event that followed.

But like the blast, the incident struck a deeper nerve in Lauterbach, who immediately publicized her blast-recording effort and wound up on the nighttime news on WLS-Ch. 7.

“So many years having

their effect on residents.

Since, Lauterbach fell out of contact with the man. But with residents alarmed (and some angered) by the Nov. 4 incident, it’s likely Hanson will attempt to appease the quarry’s neighbors by at least listening to them.

Suzan van der Lee, a seismologist at Northwestern University, has already lis-

LA GRANGE – The Lyons Township Trustees of Schools Office has filed a $4.4 million lawsuit against Lyons Township High School District 204, said Mike Thiessen, the office’s president.

The suit, filed last month with Cook County Court’s Chancery Division, alleges the district owes the office for unpaid services dating to the early 1990s, auditing fees the office paid to accounting firm Baker Tilly, as well as over-allocated money the district received. Thiessen said the money belongs to the other 12 school districts whose funds the office manages.

District 204 said in August that it made an agreement with the office in 1999 to pay its own staff for bookkeeping duties instead of the township school treasurer.

“We paid our folks inhouse to do this,” D-204 Su-

perintendent Tim Kilrea said in August. “So, therefore, to insinuate that we have been receiving something for nothing is totally incorrect.”

The agreement Kilrea referenced was formed during the tenure of former Township Schools Treasurer Robert Healy, who on Aug. 15 was charged with stealing more than $1.5 million over a 20-year period from Lyons Township school districts under his financial management.

“They’ve got an agreement with an indicted felon,” Thiessen said. “I hope that’s not the legal position they’re taking.”

Thiessen said that since Healy’s arrest, the office met several times with District 204 officials, but no agreement was reached.

“We just thought it was in the best interest of our other school districts [to file the lawsuit], and we wanted to get their money back to them,” Thiessen said.

Through the program, children who visit the center’s doctor and dentist for annual exams are qualified to receive gifts, including clothing, books, school supplies and a toy from their wish list.

Currently, the program does not have enough community members signed up to buy

gifts, meaning children would go without a present this holiday season. Area residents are encouraged to donate an item, host a drive in their neighborhood, office or club or “adopt” a child and shop for his or her specific wishes.

For a list of drop-off locations, more information or to adopt a child for a gift, email Michelle Grand at mgrand@ communitynurse.org or call 708-579-2403.

Monetary donations can be mailed to Community Nurse, 23 Calendar Ave., La Grange, IL 60525.

for 23 years, 11 of which were spent practicing at Second Congregation.

Nadine Woodle, moderator of Union Church, said the search process took a little over a year for the next minister, which included meetings with congregation goers and focus groups.

“I think it was his deep faith, his enthusiasm, his ability to relate to a wide range of people and I think he’s very passionate and an exciting person really,” Woodle said of Solberg’s qualities. “He’s very dynamic.”

Coming to the Hinsdale community was the opportunity for Solberg to work with a new congregation and take on new challenges, he said.

Solberg said he loved the commitment of the congregation in assisting the community,

But being a senior minister is no easy task, even for a 23year veteran with a youthful demeanor. In a given week, Solberg does preparation for worship, builds relationships with members of congregation, manages staff and is always ready to listen. He said exercise has been his escape

from some of the day-to-day chaos.

“Pastoral ministry is a stressful occupation,” he said.

“You’re always giving to other people, you’re always working to build up other people, so the stress builds up, but I find running and exercising really helps.”

Even though Solberg has only been on the job a couple

months, Woodle said so far the congregation is delighted to have him.

“They are so happy to see him and they love how he’s come on board and tried to get to know everybody very quickly,” she said. “He’s been making home visits and reaching out to people and they’ve just really appreciated his worship style.”

HINSDALE – He was standing on the shoreline peering out across the English Channel, ready for the cold grip of the Atlantic to do what it could to stop him from reaching the other side of the exhausting swim.

“I just thought to myself, OK, I am like a spring that through all of my training, through all of my conditioning, through all of my work, I’ve been winding-up that spring and all I have to do is let out all of that energy slowly over the next 15 hours,” said the Rev. Mike Solberg, senior minister at the Union Church of Hinsdale.

It was the culmination of a 30-year dream for the minister. Like those who followed tradition before him, Solberg didn’t use a wet suit and left himself at the mercy of the current.

He ended up finishing in 13.5 hours.

“By the end it truly was like the spring was completely uncoiled,” said the 49-yearold La Grange Park resident with a laugh. “I was just glad to be done and it was over and I was glad I made it.”

Swimming the English Channel in 2009 wasn’t just a lifelong goal, it was also the opportunity to raise money for a school in Angola – $82,000 to be exact. But that’s just one athletic accomplishment for the minister.

He’s done two Ironman competitions and ran in this year’s Chicago Marathon. Solberg said he doesn’t consider himself a fast runner, but that he just views exercise as recess.

“It’s very relaxing to me,” he said. “The reason I do all that exercise is because it’s a great stress reliever. It gets me time in the outdoors and I really enjoy it.”

After going without a senior minister for three years, members of the Senior Minister Search Committee and the Executive Council of Union Church of Hinsdale found its minister in August when they chose Solberg, who had lived in Rockford

Friends of LT alumn climb Willis Tower in his memory SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Friends and family of former La Grange resident Michael Kosinski climbed the 103 floors of Willis Tower Nov. 3 in honor of the 26-yearold who died suddenly this summer.

Kosinski enjoyed stair-climbing, and one of his main events was SkyRise Chicago, where participants climb to the top of Chicago’s tallest building.

This year, about 20 of Kosinski’s friends and family organized a team in his name,

sporting T-shirts of different rock bands to honor Kosinski’s passion for rock music.

Most of the participants attended Lyons Township High School. Together, they raised $5,350 for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, which offers rehab care to patients of traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes and those recovering from cancer.

In years past, Kosinski was able to complete the climb in less than 30 minutes, though the goal of his friends and family climbing in his honor was simply to get to the top.

Reptile House renovation

Western Springs Western Springs 4456 Wolf Rd. 4456 Wolf Rd. Countryside 6575 Joliet Rd. Countryside 708-246-2200 6575 Joliet Rd. 708-246-2200

The zoo’s Reptile House is being renovated to create the new Mary Ann MacLean Conservation Leadership Center, where zoo staff will conduct educational programs for visitors.

The house was built as part of the Great Depression-era Works Progress Administration and completed in 1934, when Brookfield Zoo opened.

Much of the building’s interior and exterior have remained intact, but the design became outdated and lacked energy-saving technology.

“From the very beginning of this project, it was important to maintain the beloved Reptile House building as a Brookfield Zoo landmark,” Strahl said. “We wanted to enhance the building’s energy efficiency while respecting the classic architecture.”

The $5.5 million, 11,000square-foot facility will feature nature gardens of native plants, a rain garden and an outdoor teaching area. Up to 50 zoo staff will be able to use the space for their daily work, and up to 150 visitors will have access to educational experiences in the center.

BROOKFIELD – A female gorilla was born at Brookfield Zoo on Nov. 4 and will be available for visitors to observe as she clings to her mother, Koola, as part of the nursing process.

A newborn gorilla weighs between 4 and 5 pounds at birth and develops thicker hair and a white tail-like tuft as she develops. The infant currently has a strong grip on her mother’s abdomen. At 3months, she will begin to ride Koola’s back and will soon after start sampling pieces of food. At 4-months, she will start to explore on her own but will stay within arm’s reach of Koola, who will nurse the infant until 3 or 4.

The young western lowland gorilla joins the zoo’s gorilla group, which includes Koola, 18, the baby’s mother; JoJo, 33, the father; Kamba, 9, Koola’s daughter; and Binti, 25, Koola’s mother.

JoJo came to the zoo from Lincoln Park Zoo in May 2012 as part of a species survival plan. Western lowland gorillas are endangered because of habitat destruction from logging, disease, the illegal pet trade and poaching for bushmeat. It’s unknown exactly how many western lowland gorillas have survived in their native West Africa, though recent estimates say only between 90,000 and 110,000 remain.

JoJo, one of 342 western lowland gorillas in North American zoos, is one of the most genetically valuable

males in the zoo population, according to the Western Lowland Gorilla Species Survival Plan.

“We are extremely pleased that JoJo has successfully assumed the role as the silverback or leader of Brookfield Zoo’s gorilla group and has made a positive impact since his arrival,” said Stuart Strahl, president of the Chicago Zoological Society.” This infant represents an important contribution to the gorilla population in North American zoos.”

How to Sound Off

In reference to the Kelli O’Laughlin memorial: What and who does it hurt? It’s beautiful and tasteful and age appropriate.

No one said you couldn’t put up a memorial like Kelli’s. Keep it looking nice, like Kelli’s crew does. If this helps Kelli’s family and friends, why not? What has happened to you that you are so cold-hearted and nasty?

Idea to reduce accidents There needs to be a left turn lane and left turn signal at 31st and Maple [in La Grange]. There have been so many accidents their that have occurred. I’m thinking this would reduce traffic accidents there.

Who’s liable for tremor?

Regarding that quarry blast: Why aren’t quarries liable for damage that they cause? I know it’s tough to prove that whatever happened was directly related to

a tremor, but it just seems like something needs to be done.

They’re just keeping quiet about it as if it didn’t happen, and you know, some people had broken things. I’m just wondering.

Manufacturer’s Showroom – Open to the Public Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays: 10:00am to 6:00pm

Against a fee break for churches When a stormwater utility fee, or rain tax, was implemented by the village of Downers Grove, it was a simple matter for the village to check the public record at the County Recorder of Deeds office to learn who owned each parcel of land and charge the fee to such owners. There is now a movement to let houses of worship pass this responsibility off onto the rest of us fee payers in addition to the fees we already pay for parcels that we own. I object to being forced by a government to support the establishment of religion.

Such forcing would be contrary to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

The softer side of libraries: Nourishing the body and spirit The little boy’s cries preceded him, so when he and his mom walked from Youth Services to Circulation, library staff asked, “Is he okay?”

The boy answered with a wail, “I don’t want to leave the library!”

Although most visitors are less dramatic, many feel the COMMUNITY same way. Why is that?

VOICE Regular library users Christine will have many reasons, among them access to books, Ricker databases and DVDs. An equally important motive is one patrons may not even realize consciously: The softer side of libraries.

In many communities, public libraries serve as a 21st century village square.

They are places where people plan to meet each other and bump into friends they haven’t seen for a while. Libraries have knowledgeable, dedicated staff who know the members and can help with their needs.

These are real people, not machines or bots! They also have high-touch programs designed to meet local interests, from silk-screening to carving turkeys.

Amenities vary from library to library, but they’re there to nourish the body and spirit.

At the Thomas Ford Memorial Library, members and guests can get a lift as soon as they enter and see fresh flowers from the Western Springs Garden Club. Gourmet beverages are nearby, even hot chocolate for a cold day. There are wonderful exhibits for children and adults, like creations from the library’s Knitting Circle.

In the Quiet Reading Room, there’s a gas-burning fireplace, comfy chairs and the peace that allows residents a chance to think (and, in at least one case, write a book).

Youth Services has many hands-on features for children including an “All Aboard!” Reading Train – very possibly why the little boy did not want to leave the library.

If this sounds familiar, you’re a regular library user who values your tax dollars at work. If it sounds new to you, stop by your local library or visit a new one and experience the softer side of libraries.

BERWYN – Morlow Mounts knows a thing or two about how to get a good night’s sleep. It’s his business, and he’s been doing it for 26 years on Cermak Road in Cicero.

Mounts, owner of Over the Rainbow Furniture, 6450 W.Cermak Road in Cicero, opened Mr. Mattress and More, 1419 S. Harlem Ave. in Berwyn, at the end of last month. Unlike the Cicero store, the Harlem Avenue location is almost exclusively about mattresses, specifically Englander mattresses.

Mounts said Englander, the eighth largest mattress manufacturer in the world since 1894, builds a top-notch product, which range from $299 to $1,000 for a basic queen mattress.

“That’s half the price of what a chain mattress store would sell it for,” Mounts said.

There is some furniture sold at the new store as well, from distributors like Coaster and Nationwide, at great prices, he added.

Take a ride around any town and it seems that mat-

10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Details: Free delivery offered.

Phone: 708-484-1188 tress stores are sprouting up everywhere. One of the reasons for that, Mounts said, is pretty simple to figure out.

“Everybody has to sleep,” he said. “Half your life is spent on a mattress.”

Mounts, a Cicero native and current Lockport resident, took over the Over the Rainbow store in Cicero in 2005 from the owner, whom Mounts had worked for more than 20 years.

While mattresses basically all look alike, there a lot of differences between them, and with every price jump, there comes a little something extra, Mounts said. It could be the amount of coils, or the type of foam – from basic to visco memory foam to gel foam. Or it could be latex, which is the top of the line foam, Mounts said.

The new store is going to offer a higher end mattress than the Cicero location, he said. All mattresses also will be made in the U.S.

SIMON SHIMAITIS Simon (Sam) Shimaitis, was born in Chicago on August 6, 1918 of Lithuanian immigrant parents.

He was a son, husband, brother, grandfather, uncle, warrior, worker, artist, wood carver, photographer and outdoorsman.

He graduated from Kelly High School and worked at Belmont Radio, where he assembled electronics (this was a secret project making radar) for the Second World War effort. He completed basic training at Camp Pickett in Virginia.

He spent the war in France and Germany as part of the Heavy Ponton Engineer Company. A member of the Greatest Generation, returning from the war, he spent 35 years at United States Steel, where he travelled all nationwide installing and maintaining strapping machines.

He truly was a man of steel! There was never a machine he could not fix.

He was a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan, who teared up every time he sang our national anthem. He loved the outdoors, especially fishing on Lake Michigan. The Department of Natural Resources weighed and measured a Coho salmon he caught at five pounds, twenty inches long. That was no fish tale! No matter what his schedule, he was never too busy to take friends or family fishing. His motto, “one day at a time,” was tested during his wife's ten year illness. He was stalwart in his love, devotion and care.

Simon was tough enough to survive a broken neck at the age of 93!

He would never want anyone to mourn his passing (he died two days short of his 95th birthday).

The next time you wear green (his favorite color), eat a piece of pie or drink an imported beer, think of him and celebrate a life well lived.

Simon wanted no funeral If you are so moved, a contribution to the Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield, IL 62702 would honor his commitment to the environment.

STEPHEN HILL Stephen Hill, age 80, of LaGrange, passed away on November 4, 2013, after battling Alzheimer's for several years.

Stephen was born June 28, 1933, in Springfield, Illinois to the late Roy and Daisy (Richards) Hill.

Stephen, a 1951 graduate of Springfield High School, earned his undergraduate degree in commerce and law in 1955 from the University of Illinois, and continued his studies in law, passing the Illinois Bar Exam in 1957. At U of I, he also played on the Men's Varsity Tennis Team.

In August 1955, he married the love of his life, Jane (Thiem) Hill.

He began his career working for Arthur Andersen in Chicago. Over the next 25 years he held senior financial positions at Prudential Insurance, National Can Corporation, Marshall Fields (Macy's) and CF Industries. Stephen enjoyed his work and near the end of his career, he started his own Corporate Financial Advisory firm, specializing in Industrial Revenue Bond financing. He helped many small companies in Illinois secure financing to expand their operations.

During his retirement, Stephen pursued tennis, fishing, gardening and spent time in Naples, Florida.

He also enjoyed vacationing in the Eagle River Wisconsin area with his family. He had a special place in his heart for dogs and was always willing to “dog sit.” He continued playing competitive tennis in his adult years and passed on his love of the game to his four children.

Stephen is survived by his wife of 58 years, Jane; sons, Steve, Peter, and Mike (Lauren); his daughter, Susan (John); 10 grandchildren; as well as his older brother, Joseph (Alice), and their sons, Joe (Jan) and Jim (Yon) and their children.

A Memorial Service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange, 150 S. Ashland Ave, LaGrange IL, on Wednesday, November 27, 2013, at 11:00 am.

A reception and visitation will immediately follow the service at the church.

In lieu of flowers, memorials to: First Presbyterian Church of LaGrange, or the Alzheimer's Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60601-7633.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FROM NICOR GAS Water Heater Safety

Call Before You Dig

Incomplete combustion of any fuel – produces carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and has no odor, taste or color. Carbon monoxide detectors are helpful, but they are no substitute for using equipment safely. This includes having it inspected once a year by a certified contractor.

Before digging around your property, state law requires you call 811 to have your utility lines professionally marked – for free! You must wait the required amount of time before you begin your project.

Pipeline markers indicate the presence of pipe and right-of-way. While they’re not present in all areas, it’s always best to call 811. If right-of-way is adjacent to your property, it is your responsibility to ensure no new landscaping or physical structure interferes with access to the pipeline, and with our ability to keep it safe through routine monitoring and maintenance. Information about transmission pipelines operating in your community is available through the National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) and is available online at www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urges all users to lower their water heaters to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although natural gas pipeline incidents are uncommon, these tips will help you identify a possible leak and know what to do.

LOOK for blowing dirt or continued bubbling of standing water.

Carbon Monoxide

Appliance Safety According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency: • It’s important that you have your furnace inspected by a qualified specialist.

• Be sure all furnace controls and emergency shutoffs are in proper working condition.

• Keep trash and other combustible material away from your air heating and water heating systems.

LISTEN for a hissing or roaring sound near a natural gas appliance or line.

SMELL for the distinctive rotten-egg scent of natural gas. Take action if you detect even a small amount of this odor.

LEAVE the area IMMEDIATELY if you detect a natural gas leak. Don’t try to identify the source or stop the leak.

CALL Nicor Gas at 888.Nicor4U (642.6748) or 911 once you are safely away from the possible leak site. Stay away from the area until a Nicor Gas representative or emergency personnel indicate it is safe to return.

REMEMBER while near a possible natural gas leak, do not touch or use anything that may cause a spark. This includes lighters, matches, cigarettes, flashlights, light switches and telephones. Wait until you have left the area to use a cell phone.

For more information,visit nicorgas.com/safety or call 888.Nicor4U (642.6748).

Restaurant reviews

TL’s Four Seasons explores flavors of Asia BARTLETT – For a change of pace on a recent Sunday afternoon, we stepped inside TL’s Four Seasons in downtown Bartlett, across the street from the rail line. The restaurant celebrates a culinary split personality, offering separate menus for Chinese and Japanese cuisines.

Sunlight reflecting off pale yellow walls and a warm oak bar tinges the airy dining room gold. A full bar is at the front, and at the other end, sushi lovers can pick front-row seats to watch the chefs prepare their precision creations.

Changing arrays of artful edibles served atop wooden planks paraded past our table to patrons scattered throughout the room.

My dining companion and I took along a friend who’s vegetarian for his perspective on the menu, and a quick lesson on chopsticks.

Kicking our meal off with sushi, he chose the Veggie Lover’s Roll with mixed vegetables, and we tried the superb smoked salmon atop a dollop of rice. The extensive array of tempting sushi options and all its culinary relatives will lure us back for more seafood.

We next ventured to the other side of the menu, and my date ordered the Chinese vegetable and wonton soup.

Tender bok choy was paired with a delicate broth and terrific dumplings. He was the first to note the restaurant’s absence of salt overkill so common in soups and other dishes at many restaurants. At TL’s, the recipes appear to rely on the ingredients’ own fresh flavors.

Our friend ordered the Kung Pao Tofu.

“The tofu was cooked well,” he said. “It was crispy with a nice Kung Pao coating, but not as spicy as I was expecting.”

The menu notes the kitchen will fine-tune recipes according to each patron’s personal spiciness scale, so make your request known.

TL’s Kung Pao version includes a colorful blend of red and green bell peppers.

Something new to him, he enjoyed the dramatically long ribbons of pork and tofu set off by the unexpectedly subtle flavor of Chinese chives, a vegetable new to us.

“It was tasty, and a generous portion,” he said of the hearty entree.

I selected the Snow Mountain Shrimp, which featured tender shrimp with a touch of breading and sesame seeds in a peach-infused sauce that was not overly sweet. Glad I was drawn to choose the dish because of the poetic name, it proved to be another seafood treat.

My entree included soup and a choice of plain or fried rice, plus a light and savory spring roll. Outstanding.

And my shrimp dish also was accompanied by greens with a mildly zesty ginger dressing that was as refreshing as the salad’s cucumber – more flavorful than I was able to find all summer at farmer’s markets.

Bears must protect McCown to beat Ravens Hub Arkush

There is good news and bad news for the Bears in their matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, and it’s a little tricky figuring out which will override the other.

The Ravens will bring one of the NFL’s worst offenses to Soldier Field on Sunday. They struggle on the ground and through the air, but particularly with the running game.

That could offer some tonic to a Bears’ defense that is one of the worst in the league, particularly against the run.

On the flip side is the reality that the defending Super Bowl-champion Ravens still are one of the best defenses in the NFL. And, in only his second start of the season, Josh McCown will face the best pass rush the Bears have seen so far this year.

That is especially unsettling realiz-

ing the Bears’ offensive line probably had its worst outing of the season Sunday against the Lions.

Joe Flacco is among the NFL’s wealthiest players after signing a new contract following the Ravens’ Super Bowl win. He also is one of the least productive quarterbacks in the game with a 77.3 passer rating, 25th in the NFL behind such stalwarts as Mike Glennon and Christian Ponder.

Flacco’s managed only 6.7 yards per pass, and his 12 touchdown passes are offset by 11 interceptions. Part of his problem throwing the ball may be caused by the fact the Ravens are only 30th in the NFL rushing the football and dead last in average gain per rush.

That’s hard to believe of a club with Ray Rice as its feature back, but he has only 115 carries through nine games for 289 yards – a 2.5 average.

Bernard Pierce was supposed to be a great compliment to Rice this season, but he’s averaged only 2.5 yards a pop on 93 carries.

The suspicion the Ravens would miss Aquan Boldin is borne out in No.

1 receiver Torrey Smith’s numbers.

While he’s caught 41 passes for 753 yards, an outstanding 18.4 average, Smith’s been targeted 84 times. No. 1 receivers who convert less than half their targets don’t stay No. 1s for long.

Perhaps the Ravens’ biggest problem has been the offensive line, which is puzzling since it started the season with four starters off the Super Bowl team and top backup Gino Gradkowski stepping in at center for the retired Matt Birk. The line has been so bad that the Ravens dealt for Eugene Monroe from Jacksonville before the trade deadline and then dealt left tackle Bryant McKinnie to the Dolphins.

Defensively, the Ravens have reloaded nicely after losing Paul Kruger, Ray Lewis, Dannell Ellerbe, Ed Reed and Cary Williams off the Super Bowl team. The additions of Chris Canty, Daryl Smith, Elvis Dumervil and rookie Matt Elam have made the rebuilding of that unit somewhat seamless.

The key matchups in this ballgame will feature the game’s best nose tackle, Haloti Ngata, on the inside shoul-

ders of Kyle Long and Matt Slauson at different times, and Terrell Suggs and Dumervil rushing off the edges on Jordan Mills and Jermon Bushrod.

The Ravens have 32 sacks, paced by Suggs’ nine and Dumervil’s eight.

Jimmy Smith has nice size on one corner at 6-2, but Lardarius Webb is smallish at 5-10. That will create mismatches for either Brandon Marshall or Alshon Jeffery.

The key matchup on the other side of the ball has to be Rice against the Bears’ two rookie linebackers. As badly as Rice has struggled this year, Mel Tucker has to be sure Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene aren’t the antidote he’s been looking for.

One other matchup to watch is John Harbaugh, one of the most successful coaches in the history of the NFL through his first five seasons, and the rookie for the Bears, Marc Trestman.

Harbaugh is sure to have some custom pressures designed for McCown.

How Trestman counters could be the difference in the game.

TAKE 2 Hub Arkush and Tom Musick face off faster than Jay Cutler could move Sunday. I think he topped out at about one-tenth of a knot. Why in the world did Cap’n Tresty leave him in the game for so long?

Arkush: You know, I’ve often wondered how to convert knots to ... something, but all I know is it makes a heck of a bang and crash when big things collide at that speed.

Kind of like the thud Trestman heard when he offered his explanation to the media after the game. All I know is there’s something more at work here than trying to win a football game because too many people who don’t

know anywhere near as much about the game as Marc know it was a mistake. There is a part two to this story. I’m just not sure how long it will take to become clear.

Musick: OK, Hub, you’ve got me intrigued. Besides, it’s more fun to try to figure out part two of this story than it is to discuss Charles Tillman’s season-ending injury or Cutler’s winter catalogue of health problems. Do you think Cutler and his inner circle (which includes Brandon Marshall) pressured the coaching staff to let him start ahead of the original timetable? Who wears the spandex

in the coach-QB relationship?

Arkush: That’s certainly the question everyone wants an answer to, and, unfortunately, I don’t have it. There is no question that Marshall created public pressure by predicting and pushing for Cutler’s return well ahead of what Trestman, Phil Emery and the team indicated they expected. It seemed him coming back sooner than four weeks was not what they wanted, and I think we’ve now all seen why. But don’t forget Cutler did say Tuesday before the game that he might have to wait another week, so he certainly opened the door for Trestman to make his own choice. My guess would be if the coach is frustrated with anyone for pressuring him it might be his All-Pro wide receiver more than “Punky QB II.” Musick: Is it safe to pull the curtain on this Bears season?

Or do the Bears still have a legitimate shot at the playoffs because weirdness happens in the NFL, and winning without key players qualifies as weirdness?

Arkush: Start puling plugs now, and you’re liable to blow fuses all over the league and screw up the whole season.

The Bears are very much alive in the playoff chase and actually still in better shape than they were eight days ago. McCown has shown he can win with this team, and, while the loss of Charles Tillman definitely hurts, the Bears weren’t going to beat anybody with their defense anyway.

They still have a chance to win some shootouts, and the only club left on the schedule with a winning record is the Packers. I’m not predicting the playoffs, but there’s no way I’m ready to bet against them yet either.

The Bears’ record dropped to 5-4 after a narrow loss Sunday against the Detroit Lions.

Hub Arkush and Tom Musick discuss: Musick: Hub, I’m thinking of going shopping today for a giant foam finger. If I find one, where can I point the blame for the Bears’ brutal loss?

Arkush: I’d say smack dab at head coach Marc Trestman, but nobody likes being at the back of the line. After an outstanding start at the helm of the Bears’ ship, Tresty ran it right into the dock at 30 knots Sunday. Certainly there’s plenty of blame to go around, but it has to start with the man in charge when you have the wrong people on the field in the biggest game of the year.

Musick: How fast is 30 knots? Is it equivalent to 30 lumps or maybe 30 knobs?

Regardless, I’m sure that it’s

Bill Ackerman – backerman@shawmedia.com

Nazareth’s Samantha Brown hits the ball during a home match against Marian Catholic Oct. 17. Brown was a four-year varsity player and helped guide the Roadrunners to 29 wins this season.

LA GRANGE PARK – It’s no secret that four-year varsity starters are going to be a big part of the success of a program.

However, Nazareth’s girls volleyball team didn’t truly get to appreciate the value of Samantha Brown until she was injured early in her junior season and the Roadrunners had to play without her.

“You don’t know what you have until you don’t have it anymore,” Nazareth coach Wayne Saunders said.

Brown went down after 11 matches last year when the Roadrunners had an 8-3 record.

She returned for the sectional semifinal against Joliet Catholic but wasn’t at her best.

This season, Brown showed what she was capable of in a full season.

The senior outside hitter, who is committed to Youngstown State, had 430 kills and 44 aces to lead the Roadrunners to a 29-7 record.

Her standout year made her the Most Valuable Player of the Suburban Life all-area girls volleyball team.

Saunders has had a number of college level players play for the Roadrunners in recent years and Brown is right there among that elite group.

“I think she is in that group of being one of the best players that’s come through the program, ” Saunders said.

Brown was always a strong offensive player, but this year she showed she could play the back row as well. Brown was second on the team with 233 digs.

About Samantha Brown Year: Senior Position: Outside hitter Jersey: No. 20

Her ability to play every rotation also meant the Roadrunners didn’t need to sub off a top offensive weapon. Brown showed the ability to hit from the back row as well.

“It allowed us to have her hit out of the back row,” Saunders said. “We can leave her in and we’re not going to give up a lot and we can use her out of the back row [offensively], where she was effective.”

Another element that Brown had to display this fall was leadership.

The Roadrunners only had two seniors on the roster, Brown and libero Linnea Rohrsen. Saunders said Rohrsen was more of a quiet leader for the team while Brown chose to be more vocal.

“I think that’s part of who she is,” Saunders said.

“She’s definitely a leader on the court. Both by her actions and how she plays, I think she does a lot of stuff leadership wise for us.”

Next year Brown will play for Youngstown State and could be called upon right away since the Penguins have seven seniors on the current roster.

She will be the third Brown sister to play in college. The oldest, Nicole, played four years at the University of St. Francis in Joliet.

Brittany, currently a sophomore setter at Loyola, played with Sam at Nazareth for two years.

School: Nazareth Year: Sophomore Impact: Decker tallied 822 assists for a 29-7 Nazareth team this fall. The sophomore also had 34 aces and at 6-foot-3inches tall, Decker was able to contribute to the block with 36 on the season. The setter was an all-conference selection in the ESCC.

School: Riverside Brookfield Year: Junior Impact: RB coach Dan Bonarigo prioritizes defense on his teams and Gheewala fit right in. The Bulldogs’ libero led the team with 298 digs and kept RB in a lot of matches with her ability to keep points alive.

School: Lyons Township Year: Junior Impact: Hansen’s 95 blocks and 52 aces led the young Lyons Township squad this fall. The 6-foot junior also smacked down 157 kills as a middle blocker in her third year on varsity.

School: Riverside Brookfield Year: Senior Impact: Kasper missed most of her junior year with injury but came back strong as a senior. The outside hitter led RB with 228 kills and also was second on the team with 263 digs.

School: Riverside Brookfield Year: Senior Impact: The 6-foot-1 Lelivelt provided a big threat as a middle hitter for the Bulldogs. The senior led the team with 64 blocks, more than twice as much as the nearest teammate. Lelivelt also was second on RB with 155 kills.

School: Fenwick Year: Senior Impact: The Siena commit made a big impact on the Fenwick program after spending her freshman year at Benet. The Western Springs resident was one of the top middle hitters in the area.

Nazareth’s Joe Muscolino looks for running room during the Roadrunners’ playoff game against visiting Sycamore on Saturday. Naz lost a close game 33-28 and saw its season end.

Roadrunners fall to Sycamore in slugfest

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE PARK – In a game Nazareth coach Tim Racki likened to a boxing match, it was visiting Sycamore that got the knockout blow.

The Roadrunners’ season ended with a 33-28 loss to the undefeated Spartans in the second round of the Class 5A playoffs on Saturday.

There were three lead changes, including one in the fourth quarter, and both teams played a physical brand of football throughout the game.

Ben Niemann, Sycamore’s Iowa recruit, caught two touchdowns, including what ended up being the game-winner on a 57-yard screen pass with 4:06 remaining in the game.

The loss snapped a sixgame winning streak for the Roadrunners (8-3).

“My kids did what I ask

them to do every week,” Racki said. “I’m not the least bit disappointed. They gave max effort. They went full speed.

They never quit. That’s how this team is.”

Niemann caught his first touchdown in the second quarter on a 7-yard fade to give Sycamore a 13-7 lead, which was the halftime score.

The Spartans (11-0) scored first in the second half to double the lead, but Naz answered quickly.

Sycamore scored twice in the fourth quarter, including Niemann’s 57-yard TD to make it 33-21 with 5:19 left in the game.

A 35-yard pass from Carson Bartels to Kevin Jackson

capped off a quick four-play scoring drive for Naz to cut it to 33-28. The Roadrunner defense forced a three-and-out and a six-yard punt gave Naz the ball on the Sycamore 42 before getting stopped.

“I didn’t do my best coaching job in that second half,” Racki said. “It’s on me. They gave the effort. I got to be a better coach in the second

half.”

The Roadrunners featured a number of young contributors. Running backs Simmons and Love are both sophomores and Kelly-Martin is a freshman. Bartels is also a sophomore.

Despite relying on a number of underclassmen in key roles, the Roadrunners were able to jell and succeed.

“If you don’t have a senior class who embraces that, we’re turning in our pads two weeks ago,” Racki said. “You need that senior leadership, and boy did our seniors leave a mark by shaping and showing these young kids the work that it takes.

“When the sting wears off, what a ride it was. It was really a fun journey. These kids were coachable, they listen, they were respectful off the field. As a coach, just a really special season. It was fun every single day spending all this time with these young men.”

Nudo said of Spillane. “He runs like a truck. Smith had a great game, too, but it’s too many negative yardage plays against us in penalties. That’s

Fenwick senior quarterback Gino Cavalieri scrambles during the Friars’ first-round playoff game against Hersey on Nov. 1. The Friars saw a large lead disappear in a loss to Wheaton North on Saturday.

scored on both drives to cut the lead to 31-26 with 4:58 left in the frame.

Fenwick’s defense held the Falcons on four plays inside the 10-yard line on their next drive, but Fenwick fumbled the ball three plays later.

Thorson hit his top target, Biegalski, to give Wheaton North its first lead of the game with 8:06 left.

“We had the momentum on our side,” Thorson said.

“We just kept plugging away and got the W.” Fenwick’s last drive got inside Wheaton North territory, but a holding call negated a first down inside the 25-yard-line and killed the drive.

Fenwick will head into the Catholic League playoffs next week, giving seniors like Spillane, Cavalieri, Smith and Richard Schoen at least another game in a Friar uniform.

ELMHURST – It was the second round of the playoffs in front of a packed, excitable crowd and the game matched, maybe even surpassed, the stage it was on.

Unfortunately for Fenwick, the reason it was such an exciting game was because Wheaton North came back from 25 points down to win and end the Friars’ season.

When the dust settled Saturday night, the Falcons won 32-31 at Elmhurst College’s Langhorst Field. Quarterback Clayton Thorson passed for 390 yards and five touchdowns to help Wheaton North come back from a 31-6 deficit.

“I’m proud of our kids,” Fenwick coach Gene Nudo said. “We deserved a better fate tonight. Give Wheaton North credit, they’re a good ballclub. I think we’re a good ballclub, too.”

Fenwick (9-2) jumped ahead on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Gino Cavalieri to Ryan Smith. Smith also caught touchdowns of 11 and 62 yards in the second quarter to build up the big lead.

Running back Robert Spillane was a work horse for the Friars. Spillane had a 25-yard touchdown run and finished with 237 yards on 40 carries.

“That’s what he does,”

Holiday savings The holidays are stressful enough without worrying about food. To make things go a little more smoothly during family entertaining, try these tips from Recyclebank: Shop local and buy in bulk: Give yourself a pat on the back for helping out the environment and local businesses, as less fuel and packaging are needed for food brought from farms closer to home. Some of the best bulk holiday foods include nuts and grains.

Celebrate imperfection: Even though that apple has a small blemish, it’ll still taste great in a homemade pie or other dish. Don’t trash rotten produce, either — reduce emissions by composting. You can try vermicomposting (composting indoors with worms) during the winter in smaller spaces or set up a bin in your yard to help nourish your garden.

Get those buns in the oven: Already roasting a turkey or baking a ham? Choose side dishes that can go in the oven alongside your main dish at the same temperature. If you time it appropriately, the dishes will be ready at the same time and you won’t have to worry about anything getting cold.

Start a leftovers tradition: Guests can bring over their own reusable container and fill it with leftovers to take home.

If your party is too small or you make too much food, you can always donate it to a local food shelter or rescue program to help someone in need.

Keep it separate: During your holiday meals, serve individual drinks from recyclable aluminum cans and wine from a box. Or, use glasses you have on hand and try to avoid Styrofoam. Have guests help you separate compostable materials and recyclables as you’re cooking and cleaning.

Pumpkin is king Versatility will wow your guests with more than pie

By Saimi Bergmann More Content Now

In the drama that is Thanksgiving dinner, pumpkin earns a starring role. Pumpkin pie is as central a character to this annual meal as the turkey.

Pumpkin can also play a supporting role, appearing in muffins, breads and bisques.

But perhaps most surprising is pumpkin’s success as background, adding moisture or richness without any discernible pumpkin flavor.

A supporting role Our nomination for best supporting role goes to the pumpkin latte, a recipe from “Pumpkin: A Super Food for All 12 Months of the Year” by DeeDee Stovel.

With a few ingredients and a little practice, you won’t need to head off to Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts to enjoy this seasonal favorite.

Mix a couple spoonfuls of pumpkin puree with sugar and a shot of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use double-strength coffee. Top off this mixture with steamed, frothed milk and some freshly grated nutmeg.

A close runner up in the supporting category is the pumpkin muffin from Jo Ann Martin and Vickie Hutchins, founders of the popular Gooseberry Patch cook booklets. Their new booklet, “Pumpkin,” includes a recipe for muffins with a surprise — a cheesecake filling — and a streusel topping. These muffins will steal the show at a holiday brunch.

Pumpkin and Sausage Pasta n 2 T extra-virgin olive oil, di-

vided

n 1 pound bulk sweet Italian sau-

sage

n 4 cloves garlic, chopped n 1 medium onion, finely

In the background The winner in the background category is a silky sauce for pasta from Rachael Ray. Unless you confess, nobody will know this earthy, sage-laden dish owes much of its appeal to canned pumpkin.

Ray’s recipe is simple, but it’s important to have all your ingredients out and ready before you start preparation. It’s from her “30 Minute Meals” TV show, so it goes together quickly once you get started.

She starts with Italian sausage, garlic and onion, then adds lots of fresh sage leaves, cut into thin ribbons. Do not be tempted to substitute dried sage — it’s not the same.

The sauce is a combination of pumpkin, white wine, chicken stock and cream, scented with nutmeg. So outstanding I found myself wishing for more sauce and less sausage. Next time, I may cut the sausage to half a pound and the pasta to 3/4 pound. Or I may simply double the sauce part of the recipe.

eterans Day is Nov. 11, a day to remember and celebrate the men and women who have dedicated their lives and careers to America by serving in the Armed Forces. The irst veterans holiday was declared by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919.

Then, it was called Armistice Day because it celebrated the end of World War I and the return of soldiers from Europe. Today, we still use Nov. 11 as Veterans Day.

Game: Military match The five service branches of the U.S. military are the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Members of each of these branches perform diferent duties all around the world on behalf of the United States.

Then, match the picture of the servicemen and women to the description you read below. a. army: The oldest branch of the military, the Army has bases all throughout the world, covering the land, sea and air. b. navy: The Navy was founded by George Washington in 1775, and patrols the seas.

Riverside Arts Weekend (RAW) celebrates both visual and performing arts with a multi-media juried fine arts fair and full musical performance schedule centered in Riverside’s Guthrie Park.

Glamour takes center stage on Sunday, May 19 at 2:00 p.m. as RAW presents Revelry, a runway show featuring emerging designers from Dominican University.

Revelry highlights fashion as a form of art with the cutting edge work of nine (9) alumnae of Dominican University’s Apparel Design program. The designers will present collections true to their respective artistic visions and highly unique from one another.

Revelry opens with the work of established designer Caroline Borucki (caro___) who has retail presence in New Buffalo, Michigan. It then segues to the work of emerging designers Alexandra Howard (Elmwood Park), Izzy Heras (Romeoville), Amanda Lindley (Tinley Park), Samantha Petkofski (Niles), Iris Carney (Berwyn), Molly Morettes (Park Ridge), Hannah Gerhardt (Omaha, NE) and Erin Von Kannon (Monmouth).

Many of the designers will also exhibit portfolios and samples of their work at a Dominican University collective booth throughout Riverside Arts Weekend.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948.

Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948.

Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain.

In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.”

There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.

65 Years and The Tradition Continues!
