Property values flat despite higher prices

Number of houses sold

dgood@shawmedia.com VILLA PARK – May housing sales in Villa Park provided much-needed stabilization to the market after a bitterly cold start to 2014.

Doug MacArtney of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage said the brutal winter conditions in the first quarter of 2014 were reflected in the housing market. He said sales were down compared to the first quarter of 2013.

“While the second quarter has been everything we were hoping for, year-to-date we’re still playing catchup,” said MacArtney, managing broker of the Lombard branch.

sales were flat in Villa Park (29 both years), according to data from Mainstreet Organization of Realtors.

Sale prices, however, were up. The median sale price in Villa Park jumped from $183,000 to $210,200, according

to the Realtors group.

MacArtney said that’s not an indication that property values have gone up that amount. There has been an uptick in higher-end sales as “move-up buyers” have been able to sell their starter homes

and shop at a higher price point, he said.

“In fact, [property values] appear to have stabilized, they’ve been relatively flat year-overyear,” MacArtney said.

There’s still hope for sellers in 2014. The second quarter is

expected to finish strong, said MacArtney, who predicts a rise in property values before the year is out.

“I think June is going to come in strong, perhaps stronger than last year,” he said. “It looks pretty good.”

A home in the 1100 block of Adams Street in Lombard was struck by lightning from the severe weather that moved across the area Monday night.

Lightning strike sparks house fire in Lombard

By MATTHEW PIECHALAK LOMBARD – An apparent lightning strike stemming from severe weather that moved across the area Monday night sparked a fire that caused about $100,000 to a Lombard home.

“We have investigators at the house right now, but it looks to be very evident that lightning struck the front of the house and possibly the rear of the house,” Lombard Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Howell said.

The Lombard Fire Department was dispatched at 10:36 p.m. Monday for an “inside smoke investigation” at a home in the 1100 block of East Adams Street. Responding firefighters reported a fire in the rear of the residence extending up the inside walls and the first-floor ceiling, Howell said.

All residents were safely evacuated from the home and no injuries were reported, Howell said.

The fire was elevated to a general alarm, bringing assistance from the Villa Park, Elmhurst and Downers Grove fire departments, as well as the Glenside, Carol Stream, Addison and York Center fire protection districts.

The fire appears to be related to a lightning strike that left heavy physical damage to the home and nearby trees, Howell said.

“We have it verified that the owner, who minutes before the strike was out in the front yard near a large tree,” Howell said. “Today that tree shows signs of burning and a large hole in the ground.”

A pair of severe thunderstorms swept through the western suburbs Monday night, causing damage with winds reported in excess of 80 mph.

A few downed trees and pockets of street flooding were the only issues reported to the Lombard Public Works Department, director Carl Goldsmith said Tuesday morning.

“All of the issues have been resolved,” Goldsmith said.

“We were fortunate.”

Northern Illinois University meteorologist Gilbert Sebenste said that the cold air from the strong winds of the storm blew ahead of the storm itself, tempering the storm as it moved into Illinois.

Wednesday temperatures will barely hit 70 and Thursday they should hover around 77, Sebenste said.

“The Fourth of July looks absolutely beautiful,” Sebenste said.

CONTACT LENSES MAY HELP AMD SUFFERERS Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people over age 60. It involves deterioration of the eye’s “macula,” a small area in the light-sensitive tissue lining of the retina that is responsible for central vision, allowing people to see fine details clearly. Until now, magnifying aids for people with AMD have largely been considered to be clunky and unsightly. However, new telescopic lens technology that enables wearers to switch between normal and magnified vision may soon be available. By magnifying incoming light and spreading it to the undamaged parts of the retina, the new contacts may help AMD sufferers overcome blurry vision and central vision loss.

Many people are not aware that they have macular degeneration until they have a noticeable vision problem or until it is detected during an eye examination. Patients 55 and older should be examined for signed of advanced macular degeneration each year. For more information, please call SKOWRON EYE CARE. All our professionals maintain the highest levels of accreditation and pursue ongoing education to stay abreast of the latest trends in ophthalmology. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision.

P.S. Anyone currently wearing reusable contacts and experiencing discomfort and dryness should talk with his or her eye care professional about daily disposable lenses or other suitable options.

Snoop at the coop?

Come to think of it, the possible teardown and rebuild of the Edward House parcel on Maple in Downers Grove could accommodate a state-of-the-art backyard chicken coop with year-round

climate control and a hen from each of four different breeds of chickens. It’s only a house or two away from the historical society, so perhaps a deal could be reached to include it on the daily tours they have there. I can see it now – tour the historical Blodgett House and snoop at the coop.

I find it interesting how the village of La Grange trustees feel there’d be too much extra traffic volume at East Avenue and 47th Street if there was a traffic signal Police should crack down installed, and yet they didn’t seem on beggars in DG to mind that when they allowed It’s time for the Downers Grove for the construction of 300 police to crack down on the bums apartments to go up at the Ogden hanging around the Main Street Avenue and La Grange Road. And railroad station. They are hassling are those apartments going to be working people.

ELMHURST – Funny ladies Lizzy Rudakas and Kirsten Mose don’t take long to name Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as they list some of their favorite comedians.

“I think it’s much harder to be a comedian and be a female than it is to be a guy comedian,” said Mose, 17.

Even as she acknowledges the challenge, she and Rudakas aren’t letting the odds stop them from performing a sketch comedy show in Chicago beginning next week.

“Survival: A Sketch Comedy Show” is inspired by the hilarious moments that often accompany the high school experience.

Mose, who will be a senior at York High School in the fall, and Rudakas, who graduated from York in the spring, said many of their ideas came from their own experience

The pair met during a production of Bugsy Malone at Elmhurst Children’s Theatre, in which they played members of a flapper girl

Elmhurst teens Kirsten Mose (left) and Lizzy Rudakas perform a sketch during YESfest 2013.

• COMEDIENNES Continued from page 12 posse. Since then, they’ve started their own sketch comedy group, Just Bust a Move, performed at festivals and taken the stage at The Second City.

This is the first show written, produced and performed by the pair that’s not for a festival.

“The reason why I like sketch so much is because you write everything yourself,” Rudakas said.

Unlike other shows they’ve written, the teens needed to learn alternate ways to end their sketches without introducing a third person since there’s only two of them.

With the help of comedian and Elmhurst Children’s Theatre’s sketch comedy director Tim Soszko, the girls refined their sketches into a 30-to-45-minute variety show, complete with singing, dancing and acting.

The same tap dance they learned during their first production together even made a comeback.

“It can’t just be, ‘Oh, here’s this funny thing that I said. There has to be structure to it, which is probably the hardest part ... learning how to actually write,” Mose said.

Rudakas said she finds everything funny so she’s thankful to have Mose to bounce ideas off of.

“Funny faces, I would say, would be my forté,” said Mose, describing her own sense of humor.

Both girls would love to continue doing sketch comedy throughout their lives, but they also have day jobs in mind.

Rudakas, who has volunteered at Brookfield Zoo the past few summers, plans to study psychology at DePaul University beginning in the fall and eventually have a career studying animal behavior.

Mose will finish her high

school career at York as president of the Drama Club, but plans to major in neuroscience in college and minor in performing arts.

“I think for me, it’s just always the fact that as much as I love theatre, performing and sketch comedy, I know that it’s not necessarily the most stable of jobs to get into,” Mose said.

They also recognize as women, they may have a harder time making it as comedians.

Rudakas explained the challenge facing funny ladies by recounting a bit she’d seen Will Farrell do where he did a song and dance, but the funniest part of it all was he was wearing tight-fitted pants.

“That would not be funny if that was a woman. It was like only something a man could do,” Rudakas said.

When asked if they would like to inspire other young girls to pursue comedy like they’ve been inspired by other women comedians, the pair replied, “I hope so.”

Restaurant reviews

Cooper’s Corner stakes claim on big flavor WINFIELD – When friends recommended Cooper’s Corner, we decided to pay a visit to the restaurant that opened earlier this year in the spot that once housed the venerable Viking.

We walked in on a Friday night to the sound of live music and were offered a choice of seating in the expansive lounge near the band or one of the dining rooms. We opted for the dining room closest to the bar for a happy medium.

The space is updated, yet preserves classic old-school steakhouse charm with large booths, banquettes, tables with comfy chairs and lots of elbow room.

And while the chef puts plenty of emphasis on roast beef, steak and other red meat dishes, there’s a healthy accent on seafood, pastas, freshly prepared crab cakes, sandwiches and other options that make the decision of what to order pleasurably conflicted.

We opted to try the stuffed sesame portabella appetizer, which complemented the meaty mushroom with goat cheese, caramelized onion, and roasted red pepper that popped.

“It’s an interesting blend of flavors and textures,” raved my date.

We each chose soup over salad: a creamy clam chowder and a baked onion. The latter was good, but a tad salty.

My selection of an entree became easy when I spotted the slow-roasted prime rib featured at the top of the menu, and chose the smallest of the three portion choices. It arrived rare per my request, and was sublimely tender and juicy. Its side dish was a superb mix of sauteed zucchini, broccoli, carrot, squash and onion cooked al dente.

My companion chose one of the evening’s specials: the baked berry Florentine stuffed pork loin. The fruit topping made it a memorable dish. A massive portion, we enjoyed it for lunch the next day.

Among many temptations, I look forward to trying the other dish I’d considered: pork short ribs with barbecue sauce, and a smoky hint of chipotle peppers.

The restaurant, open for lunch and dinner, features daily early-bird enticements, and highlights salads prepared with locally sourced produce.

The menu notes that the pastas are finished with specially aged cheese. Such attention to detail was evident

We did not leave enough room for one of the homemade desserts suggested by a friend, whose comment about the grilled shrimp entree she enjoyed on a previous visit was an enthusiastic “Yummy.”

We second the sentiment.

Cooper’s Corner, with its large parking lot, is easy to find on Roosevelt Road on the border between Winfield and

Wheaton, and well worth a trip for a relaxing experience, deliciously fresh ingredients, friendly service and the added option of hitting the dance floor Fridays and Saturdays.

The weekend acts range from blues and R&B to jazz and Rat Pack favorites.

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com It’s summer break for many high school students, but football teams already are in the preparation phase for the upcoming fall season.

Some area teams, like Montini and Addison Trail, are taking part in competitive 7-on-7 tournaments while others are just happy to learn about their teams and develop chemistry via summer camps and practices.

The Broncos and Blazers both competed in the Red Grange Classic at Wheaton Warrenville South, a 32-team 7-on-7 tournament that fea-

Montini, the defending champion, placed fourth, while Addison Trail went 4-5 in the twoday tournament.

Montini, which features senior quarterback Charles Norgle fighting for the starting job and Indiana commit Leon Thornton at wide receiver, went 4-1 in pool play on June

Area summer camps start march toward high school football season 26. The Broncos later lost in the second round of the double-elimination day two, but rebounded with five straight wins before Maine South eliminated them.

Glenbard East is getting a later start to its summer preparation for a couple reasons. First, the various Rams teams are spreading out summer camps so multi-sport athletes aren’t getting overworked doing multiple workouts in one day. Second, coach John Walters thinks the team will benefit from consecutive weeks of summer practices instead of multiple breaks in between, one which would be for the week of the Fourth of July.

The Rams start summer practice July 7. Otherwise, things remain the same.

“It’s the same drill,” Walters said. “We’re going to do our thing, install our offense and defense. We have 7-on7s and linemen challenges ahead.”

The Rams are preparing for a debut season in the Upstate Eight Conference in the fall.

East is in the Valley division and will face Neuqua Valley, Metea Valley, Waubonsie Valley, Bartlett, South Elgin, East Aurora and old DuPage Valley Conference foe West Aurora.

Facing an almost entirely new schedule presents challenges, but Walters doesn’t think it

will have a big impact come game night.

“There’s really no secrets going into Friday night,” Walters said. “We have an idea of what they’re going to do and they will have an idea of what we’re going to do.”

For Willowbrook, camp started June 16. The Warriors already hosted a 7-on-7 event on June 26 and host another July 12.

Another West Suburban Conference team, York, is looking to rebound from two straight losing seasons under new head coach Matt Monken.

The Dukes haven’t missed the playoffs for three straight seasons since 1985.

Toni Kukoc takes a quick break from working with young basketball players during his camp held at the Bulls/Sox Academy in Lisle last week. The former Chicago Bulls star has turned into an avid golfer in retirement.

Q&A

Retirement life ‘is perfect’ for former Bull

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen endure as all-time great players for the Chicago Bulls.

However, Toni Kukoc earned his own spot in Bulls’ lore in 1994 when he hit a buzzer-beater to defeat the New York Knicks in a playoff game.

That was near the end of the his rookie season, after which he went on to play in Chicago until the 1999-2000 season.

Kukoc officially retired from professional basketball in 2006, but he was back on the court this past week hosting and coaching a camp at the Bulls/Sox Academy in Lisle.

He took time from working with camp participants to speak with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about the camp, his retirement, his native Croatia’s involvement in the World Cup, and his famous last-second shot.

Rossi: What has kept you busy in retirement?

Kukoc: Not much. Play a

little golf and watching basketball. That’s pretty much it.

Life is perfect. I became like a golf addict, so as long as the weather is nice I can go and golf.

Rossi: What are your thoughts on the camp?

Kukoc: It’s a fun time for the kids. We’re trying to work on fundamentals of the game and teaching them to play the right way and have fun while doing it.

Rossi: What’s the biggest fundamental you try and get across to the kids?

Kukoc: There’s a theme [to

the camp] and it’s listening.

Just listening to the coaches and trying to put all that we say back onto the court.

It’s easy to forget after five minutes what the coach said and just do it the easy way or do it your own way, but we’re trying to get them to listen to the little details we put in their ears and get them to put it back on the court.

Rossi: What was it like playing for the Bulls when they were at their peak?

Kukoc: I don’t want to say it was easy; it was hard, but at the same time it was a lot of fun just for the fact that the expectations were high and the ultimate goal of winning a championship was the only goal. Everything else was a failure. It was a high standard, but it wasn’t something where the goal was put so high that it wasn’t reachable.

So we came to the first day of camp with the idea that if we played together and put our minds in the same place that our goal was achievable,

and it was, three times.

Rossi: What do you miss most about playing?

Kukoc: The competitive nature of it that we all had.

In golf, the U.S. Open or the World Cup in soccer, you see how much the guys want it, how much they grind for it, how much the fans are into it and that’s when that competitive spirit of mine shows up and boils inside of me again.

Then reality hits you, and when I try to overdo it, the body says ‘No, I don’t really think so.’ It brings you back to Earth, but that’s the part you miss the most. The games you won by 20 or 30 you don’t remember, but those last-second shots or the last-second defensive stops, those are the ones you remember and the ones people remind you about.

Rossi: Is that last-second shot against the Knicks your career highlight? Or is there something else you think back on?

Kukoc: I hit more than a couple [shots like that], but

I’d say championships are more the measurement of your success as a basketball player. So all the championships, with all the stuff I did in Europe at first and then in the United States, are kind of the highlights.

The individual stuff is always there, but it doesn’t mean as much if nothing happens team-wise. The shots you hit are great, but championships are what measures somebody’s success.

Rossi: Have you been watching much of the World Cup? Kukoc: I’ve watched a lot of it. I watched Croatia, that’s my team. I watched the United States because that’s my team, too. Obviously I’m happy the States advanced and a little disappointed Croatia didn’t.

Rossi: Do you ever get together with your former teammates and play some basketball?

Kukoc: No, but every once in a while we play golf and we enjoy the competitive nature that way.
