Sabathne, president and CEO of the Western DuPage Chamber of Commerce, has visited Taufkirchen three times since 2001. He also has hosted his German brothers and sisters on several occasions throughout the years.

“They are like family to us,” Sabathne said.

Since 1999, a group from West Chicago and a group from Taufkirchen have visited each other’s communities almost every year, Buckles said.

Visitings groups from both cities have included people of all ages.

“One of the things I would hope that some of these parents would understand is this is really an opportunity for their kids to be involved globally, starting at a young age, to really get involved with what’s happening in other countries,” said Buckles, who joined West Chicago Sister Cities in 2003 and has served as the organization’s president for about a year.

To participate in an official

sister cities visit, West Chicago residents must join the organization. The group meets the first Thursday of each month.

While there are many differences between West Chicago and Taufkirchen – from the communities’ sizes and ages to the family dynamics, education and laws in each town – the sister cities have found value in the ways they diverge, just as actual siblings do.

“I don’t want to be them, but I sure love that they’re part of our life,” Sabathne said.

WEST CHICAGO – The city of West Chicago has a sister who lives on another continent.

While they only see each other about two times each year, their bond is strong, as they learn from their differences and celebrate them.

This sister is named Taufkirchen (Vils), and it is a German village with more than 8,500 residents.

“To be welcomed by people that are strangers and different customs and different language is just really powerful,” said President of West Chicago Sister Cities Sandy Buckles.

Sister Cities International was founded by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 as a way to foster peace by creating bonds among people from all over the world, according to the organization’s website.

An official sister cities relationship was established between West Chicago and Taufkirchen in 1999, thanks to the efforts of two brothers who live in the respective towns.

In 1997, Bodo Gsedl, of Taufkirchen, met with his brother Uwe, a West Chicago resident, and approached the city of West Chicago and its local Chamber of Commerce about creating a Sister Cities relationship.

A group from Taufkirchen visited West Chicago in 1998, and on Oct. 7, 1999, delegates from both cities signed an official proclamation in Taufkirchen that established their bond.

With that, the West Chicago Sister Cities organization was born. It is made up of West Chi-

D-33 schools to offer all-day kindergarten

By MARY BETH VERSACI mversaci@shawmedia.com WEST CHICAGO – Beginning fall 2014, all-day kindergarten will be offered at each of West Chicago Elementary School District 33’s elementary schools.

On Feb. 6, the district Board of Education unanimously approved a full rollout of a program piloted this school year at Gary Elementary.

The district hoped to expand the pilot for the 2014-15 school year. After evaluating the resources available and the success of the pilot thus far, the district decided it would be feasible to offer allday kindergarten across District 33, officials said.

“The goal was always to

expand as much as we could,” said Assistant Superintendent for Learning Kristina Davis.

The cost increase to provide all-day kindergarten is projected to be about $750,000 per year for the next five years, said Director of Business and Operations John Haffner via email.

This increase will include additional staff, transportation, supplies and materials, he said. It will be paid for by an expected uptick in the General State Aid the district receives.

Aid to District 33 will likely increase because its local property wealth calculations continue to drop and the number of low-income students in the district is growing, Haffner said.

District 33 also will receive additional General State Aid

funding for each student added to the district, he said. With the introduction of all-day kindergarten, the district expects to increase its student population.

All-day kindergarten was incorporated into the district’s Strategic Plan in 2011.

Schools still will offer halfday kindergarten in order to comply with Illinois School Code, which says districts with a full-day program also must provide a half-day option.

District 33 has seen improvements in its kindergarten students who are participating in the all-day pilot at Gary, according to district data.

For example, in September, only 29 percent of students

were able to match sounds to most or all letters in the alphabet. By January, 78 percent met the benchmark.

All-day kindergarten provides more time for teachers and students to keep up with the increased rigor of Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, Davis said.

“It’s a more rigorous curriculum, so they need more time,” she said.

Having a full day of kindergarten allows students to participate in special classes, such as art, music and physical education, Davis said. It also gives teachers the time they need to provide kindergartners with extra supports or challenges when necessary.

Beyond academics, teachers have more hours in the

day to help students with social-emotional learning.

“There’s time for teachers to work on social skills in class,” Davis said.

Based on the needs of its student and teacher population, District 33 decided to pursue all-day kindergarten, although it was not legally required to do so, she said.

Since 2000, the percentage of low-income students in the district has grown from 22.6 percent to about 69 percent in 2013, according to Illinois District Report Card data compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education.

Teachers expressed to the district a need for more time to support students, Davis said.

“We were responding to that need,” she said.

County Board votes to publicly oppose graduated income tax

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com The DuPage County Board publicly opposes amending the Illinois Constitution to allow for a graduated income tax rate in Illinois after making a party-line decision at a meeting Tuesday morning.

The 14 to 3 vote came after weeks of presentations and public hearings on the subject, led by the board’s economic development and legislative committees.

Two bills have been introduced in the Illinois House and Senate that would allow Illinois voters to decide whether to amend the state constitution, removing a provision that specifies income taxes must be flat, according to the Illinois General Assembly website.

Such a change could open the door for future discussions about a progressive income tax, which would set higher rates for the wealthy and low-

House opposition

To read the relevant proposed constitutional amendment bills, HJRCA 33 and SJRCA 40, visit www. ilga.gov.

All 47 Republicans in the Illinois House of Representatives have announced their opposition to the graduated income tax proposal, according to a news release from the office of House Republican Leader Jim Durkin. House Democrats will have to ensure all 71 of its members vote for the proposal for it to pass with a three-fifths majority vote.

Tax hike expiration A 2011 state income tax hike is set to expire in 2015, potentially lowering state income taxes from 5 percent to 3.75 percent for individuals and 7 percent to 5.25 percent for corporations. er rates for those with less income.

While some board members argued the issue was a state one, Economic Development Chair Tonia Khouri said that, because such as change would effect its constituents, it was the board’s job to provide input.

“A hard-working taxpayer of DuPage County deserves to have representatives who work

on their behalf and in their best interest,” she said. “And this progressive tax is not in their best interest or the best interest of the economic development of DuPage County.”

Khouri said raising personal income taxes on wealthier brackets could mean the typical taxpayer in DuPage County, where the average household income is $78,000 a year, would be disproportionately effected.

In addition, the presence of 17,000 “S corporations” in

the county, whose owners claim business profit as part of their personal income tax payments, means many small businesses will be similarly impacted.

Board member Gary Grasso said that, while he wanted to err on the side of letting voters decide, he didn’t trust the legislators in the General Assembly to make responsible decisions about the matter.

“This state has given our trust repeatedly to the people in Springfield, and they have rewarded that trust with nothing but bad government, high taxes and policies that are destroying this state,” he said.

The board’s three Democrats, Liz Chaplin, Tony Michelassi and Laurie Nowak voted against the measure.

“I’m proud to be a DuPage County Board member, because nobody sitting in this body today is anti-business,” Michelassi said. “Nobody wants to see our state create a climate that harms the busi-

nesses here in DuPage and nobody on this board wants to increase taxes on our residents.”

But a vote against the possibility of a graduated income tax, especially when no official plans or rates had been set, was overly argumentative and decisive too early, he said.

Chairman Dan Cronin said the vote was in line with the county’s fight reduce the size, scope and cost of government.

He also added he was “astounded” that any DuPage elected official would vote for a graduated income tax, because it would likely mean a tax increase on those they represent – even if the tax rates hadn’t been set yet.

“It’s sort of like somebody asking ‘Do you want to buy this house? I’m not going to tell you what the price is, but do you want to buy it?’” he said.

“Nobody in their right mind would buy a house if they didn’t know the price of the house, no matter how attractive the house is.”

with a Q-tip. I heard that you’re not supposed to use Q-tips to clean your ears out. What’s the best way to get the wax out of my ears?

A: he presence of cerumen (ear wax) in the ear canal is normal. Your ear naturally produces cerumen as a Dr. Terri Lightbody lubricant to help (630) 580-5777 ight bacteria.

An Occluded (blocked) ear canal can cause a hearing loss. Normally, cerumen migrates out of the ear canal by itself.

However, there are several reasons why cerumen can become impacted (accumulate) in the ear canal.

1) Use of ear cleaning tools such as Q-tips. he cerumen can be pushed further into the ear canal.

2) Use of hearing aids and ear protection plugs or ear monitors can trap cerumen in the canal.

3) Narrowing of the ear canal. As adults age, the ear canal tends to get narrower or collapse (sags), trapping cerumen in the canal.

We recommend that you do not try to clean your ears with Q-tips, ear candling, ear washes or oils. hese procedures can cause more harm than good. Accidental cuts or scratches from these items can lead to painful ear infections.

Cerumen is oten attached to the skin in the ear canal and when it is removed forcefully, it can tear of a piece of skin, causing bleeding and possibly, an ear infection. If you take blood-thinner prescription medicines, daily aspirin or ish oil pills, you need to be extra cautious.

One of the best ways to have excessive ear wax removed is by a Doctor of Audiology. I use a microscope with forceps to gently remove ear wax. In most cases, I don’t recommend having your ears “lushed” out with water because this can cause the cerumen to expand and block the ear canal or even force the cerumen down against the tympanic membrane. If this happens, it can cause pressure and pain.

Fairview Fire District to be dissolved

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com The provisions of the landmark bill allowing DuPage County to dissolve county-appointed government agencies were first exercised at Tuesday’s County Board meeting, when the dissolution of the Fairview Fire Protection District of unincorporated Downers Grove was approved.

The bill, SB-494, was signed into law in early August by Gov. Pat Quinn, and allows the board to identify and dissolve

outdated, defunct or redundant services such as mosquito abatement and sanitary districts to streamline services.

Board Chairman Dan Cronin said the county was the first in the state to enact such a law and called Tuesday’s unanimous vote a “momentous occasion.”

“We take this responsibility very seriously and we are using these new tools in a thoughtful manner that will project our successes beyond our own borders both in the region and in the entire state,” he said.

The Fairview District did not own fire equipment or employ staff but levied an annual property tax and had an agreement with the village of Downers Grove to provide its emergency response services to 187 parcels of property, according to a county news release.

Yet the district owed more than $100,000 to the village of Downers Grove, according to an assessment prompted by the DuPage County Board.

The assessment determined that, because of tax caps, the district would not be able to

resolve the unpaid obligation without a referendum to seek additional money.

Now, a Special Service Area has been created for the parcels, effectively eliminating the middle man of the Fairview District, and the village has agreed to waive the debt.

The creation of the Special Service Area also will eliminate administrative costs such as audit fees.

Cronin said the county worked to build consensus and support for the closure for a year and a half but has another

four to five dissolutions it will consider in the near future, including the sanitary districts of Salt Creek and Highland Hills.

The chairman said work of this nature is complicated and difficult to approach responsibly without forcing change onto unwilling parties, so the seemingly small progress of one district was still significant.

“That’s the challenging part about consolidation, there’s no one size fits all,” he said. “You have to look at each unit individually.”

OPINIONS n LAST WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION: Should schools, offices close when temperatures drop below zero?

38 PERCENT: Keep both open, this is ridiculous 36 PERCENT: Both should close for safety 22 PERCENT: Only schools should close 4 PERCENT: I don’t have an opinion

n THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL QUESTION: What time of day do you feel most productive? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.

Removing the mask of domestic violence Each day, she puts on the mask: the happy mom, the competent worker, the able volunteer. The mask is there for a reason.

It enables her to get through her day, while hiding the hurt, fear and confusion she feels. The cause? Domestic violence.

One in four women experience domestic abuse in their lifetime and Family Shelter Service was established to help survivors of domestic abuse rebuild their lives and break the cycle of violence for themselves, their families and future generations.

Our clients often tell us COMMUNITY that they were forced to don VOICE these “masks of normality” Maureen to make it through their daily routine. And children also McGuire learn at a very young age that they must wear the mask, as one of our clients so aptly wrote: “The most challenging part about the masks is that once Mom has put hers on, she has to lean down and put a tiny little mask on each of her children as they step out the door. She then has to pray that they have the strength to keep it on. As they grow, they begin to put on their own mask.

“When you are finally out, and as you begin to trust and feel safe, slowly you can put the masks into a box. At that point, you are no longer looking through the small constricting holes of the mask. The most wonderful day mom will ever experience is the day you see the true, unhidden beautiful faces of your children, faces filled with love and peace.”

To honor the courage of this woman and many people like her who have found hope and healing at Family Shelter Service, this year’s annual gala fundraiser will take place April 11 at The Abbington in Glen Ellyn and is named Carnevale: A Celebration of Hope. Elaborate masks have traditionally been the signature feature of the Venetian Carnevale and for Family Shelter Service, this theme symbolizes the importance of removing the mask so that the healing can begin.

As a community, we do not talk openly about domestic violence, and if we do, it is in whispers and hushed tones, shrouded in secrecy – similar to the mask.

Like cancer, AIDS and other social issues that were once taboo, we need to talk about the proverbial “elephant in the room.” When we talk about domestic violence, we validate to survivors that the issue is real, that the “crazy making” and pretending must stop. Only then can we help these individuals take off the mask, and, in the words of our client, “see the beautiful sights right in front of us, right now.”

Maureen McGuire is the marketing and communications representative for Family Shelter Service.

Alert: Sidewalks are awful I would like to comment on the sidewalks south of 55th Street in Westmont. There have been other terrible years in the past, but this year, it’s just awful.

The people and the businesses do not clean the sidewalks and there’s a lot of foot traffic.

People are walking in the street and they’re riding bikes in the street and I was wondering if something couldn’t be done to alert village of Westmont of the problem of the sidewalk south of 55th Street in Westmont.

Selfish snowblowers deserve ticket Don’t you think that people who snow blow their snow back into the street should get a ticket? It’s rude, it’s selfish, but most of all, it’s just plain stupid.

I just read in Suburban Life this week about the Downers Grove disposal program for drugs, which is wonderful. I just want people to be aware of the fact that, and I am a Downers Grove residence, for years at the Lisle police station, you’ve been able to walk in and put your drugs in a box without making an appointment and sometimes that may be more convenient. So anyhow, I just want everybody to know about it. I think it’s wonderful Downers Grove is finally offering this program. But I think it would be easier for a lot of people if they don’t have to make an appointment, they can just drop their drugs off, which I’ve been doing for years.

8LETTERS No more deaths To the Editor: Did you know that more people are dying of drug overdose than car accidents in DuPage? In 2013, overdose deaths were happening approximately every eight days.

The time to prevent more deaths is now.

Shining Light seeks to develop self-reliant contributing members of society by providing educational and outreach services to individuals and families in the area. We break the cycle of poverty by taking a long-term, holistic approach with professional coun-

seling and personal mentoring. As part of our educational outreach, we have been hosting heroin awareness workshops in the area.

Therefore, I would like to thank DuPage County Board member Laurie Nowak, Maria Oswald from Downers Grove Counseling and West Chicago Mayor Ruben Pineda for their leadership in addressing the urgent issue of heroin use in our communities at a forum held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Jan. 19. It is only with a strong partnership between families, schools, police, churches and local community leaders that

this epidemic will stop taking the precious lives of our friends and family members.

As the executive director of Shining Light nonprofit here in West Chicago, I invite anyone facing a difficult situation to check out our counseling resources and get the tools to take positive action, rather than looking for an escape in drugs or alcohol.

Thank you for all the support. We pray that there will be no more deaths in 2014.

Bipartisan support for immigration reform on display in Washington At a time when our elected officials in Washington seem to be paralyzed by partisan politics, it is encouraging to see both sides of the aisle moving forward on an issue of critical national significance: immigration reform.

During his State of the Union address Jan. 28, President Obama voiced his support for passing immigration reform in 2014, while Republicans in the House of Representatives released their “Standards on Immigration Reform” on Jan. 30, outlining a set of broad principles to make this issue a priority this year.

As the executive director of an organization that provides legal services to almost 4,000 immigrants in the Chicago area per year, this is a very personal issue for me, my team and the people we serve.

In our Immigrant Legal Services Department, we encounter countless individuals and families hurt by the broken immigration system: families split apart, children left without parents, promising young people whose dreams are dashed and victims of crimes afraid to report the offenses to the police. These tragedies tear apart not only the immigrants and their families

COMMUNITY VOICE Emily Gray but our communities and our country.

Like many other Christian leaders across the nation, I was disappointed that immigration reform was not brought to a vote in the House of Representatives in 2013, particularly given the widespread support among business, faith and law enforcement leaders across the United States. The release of the Republican principles, however, shows that our elected officials in both parties have finally realized that fixing our broken immigration system is a priority.

While broad, the Republican standards offer an important framework to begin Congress’s work on the issue.

The principles rightfully include improvements to border security and internal enforcement mechanisms, updates to our outdated legal immigration system, and a process through which immigrants who do not currently have legal status can earn legal presence here. These immi-

* THANK YOU

grants – including those who were brought here as children – contribute untold benefits to our economy, our community and our churches, and both our Christian faith and our American heritage instruct us to welcome them with open arms.

Immigration reform is an economic and civic issue, but even more so, it is a biblical one. Many of the most important figures in the history of the Christian faith were immigrants, refugees and travelers whom God used for his purposes. I hope that our federal legislators will help ensure the continuation of that tradition by making the United States a place where immigrants are welcomed.

I encourage U.S. reps.

Roskam, Duckworth, Hultgren, Foster and the rest of our congressmen and women in Washington to work together to make immigration reform a priority in 2014. Fixing our immigration system will require both courage and compromise, and while we can expect that no one will be completely satisfied with the final product, we will continue to pray that our representatives will find a workable solution. The president’s comments and the Republican standards are positive steps forward, but now they must be followed by legislative action on immigration reform. We have waited long enough. The time to act is now.

Emily Gray is executive director of World Relief DuPage/Aurora.

*We really appreciate the recognition by U.S.News&World Report that ranks us among Tier 1 National Universities. We share this recognition across the university, with every department and each program. It’s relected in the research our faculty spearhead, the patents we earn, and the awards our students win. We don’t do any of these things for the accolades. We do them because we think there’s no such thing as too ambitious.

My furnace seems to be working through this frigid winter but I never got it tuned up before the season, should I just wait until next year?

Q: What are symptoms of Hormone Imbalances?

It is never too late to have your heating equipment serviced.

A:

Safety is the most important reason to have your heating equipment serviced annually. An annual inspection and cleaning allows an expert to verify that your system’s safety features are operating correctly.

Mike Borowski Vice President

A second reason for an inspection is to ensure the system is operating eiciently and providing a comfortable environment in your home. High utility bills and poor comfort don’t have to be the norm. An annual inspection and cleaning will ensure your system is working properly.

Finally, most manufacturers’ require yearly maintenance to keep your warranty intact.

If you haven’t had your annual safety inspection for your heating equipment, call any professional to schedule it to be done. Your system will thank you with a safer, more eicient operation.

My 7 year old was recently diagnosed with Q: several cavities in his baby teeth. Is it necessary

Dentistry

to fill baby teeth?

The answer to your question is “yes” and “no”. It is not necessary to remove the decay and place a filling in a primary tooth that will soon come out, especially if the decay is shallow and presenting no problems to the child.

If the tooth is close to exfoliation (coming out on it’s own) and has a large amount of decay which is causing an infection and/or discomfort to the child, extraction should be considered.

Charise M. Petrelli DDS On the other hand, if the child will have the primary tooth for several more months or years, removing the decay and placing a filling is necessary. Even though primary teeth are eventually lost, they serve many important key roles while they are present. This alone makes them worth the care they require. In addition, infection can affect the developing permanent teeth and cause discomfort if the decay is allowed to progress untreated.

Primary teeth provide cosmetics, phonetics, mechanical digestion and bone growth. A major function of the back primary teeth, which usually do not come out until about 10 to 12 years of age, is space maintenance and guidance for eruption of the posterior permanent teeth. If these primary posterior teeth are lost prematurely due to untreated decay, some type of space must be maintained to allow the permanent tooth proper space.

I would talk with your child’s dentist further to see where the cavities are and how deep the decay is. Also find out if the baby teeth affected (630) 942-0727 www.glenellyndentistry.com are going to be exfoliating very soon.

Restaurant reviews

Thai Pot stirs affection for traditional cuisine DOWNERS GROVE – Thai fare has become more commonplace over the years, and, like many other adopted cuisines, often more Americanized. Breading, cream, sugary sauces and less traditional spices frequently are incorporated. Thai Pot seems to resist that temptation, offering authentic flavors and food, to good result.

During my first visit to the restaurant, I stopped by for lunch. Tucked into a strip mall in Downers Grove, the storefront eatery has a bright, appealingly decorated interior.

The full menu is not available midday, when the restaurant focuses on a selection of weekday lunch specials, which are fairly diverse and very well priced. For just under $8, you get soup, the appetizer of the day and a well-portioned entree.

The meal started with a simple yet delicious chicken and jasmine rice soup. It reminded me of my mom’s best chicken noodle, but the jasmine and a smattering of other Thai spices gave it an extra layer of savory that really set it apart. All the components were cooked well, and the broth had an almost buttery texture.

The aromatic fish sauce and spices in the red curry with tofu, which usually are muted by lots of coconut sauce, wafted my way as the server approached the table.

The emphasis was on the spicy chili sauce in the curry, a dish overflowing with veggies and tofu.

The tofu itself melted in my

mouth. It was boiled, not fried, giving it an eggy texture.

After the satisfying lunch, I was curious to check out the full menu, and followed up another day with a dinner visit.

I started with an order of Shrimp Cigars – admittedly chosen because of the great name. They were big plump shrimp, tail-on, alongside Thai basil and a bit of onion, all wrapped and fried in a wonton wrapper. The visual was a great one, and the presentation allowed the shrimp to stay the star.

My entree of spicy basil leaves with chicken had a great blend of flavors, particularly the sauce. It contained just enough basil to add a nice punch. I would have liked even more of the gravy, simply because it was so good.

Thai Pot’s greatest strength is its commitment to authenticity. Thai is one of my favorite cuisines – I love the Americanized versions just as much as I love the ones straight from the recipes of Thai grandmothers – and Thai Pot managed to throw in a couple flavors I hadn’t experienced before.

Diners who would like to push their boundaries a bit, or those who already relish the more traditional flavors, will want to find out what’s cooking at Thai Pot.

SOUTH ELGIN – After yielding 99 points the last time it faced South Elgin, the West Chicago boys basketball team focused on defense in practice leading up to Friday’s rematch. The extra attention definitely paid off.

Holding the Storm to 32 points in the opening half, the Wildcats cruised to a 90-63 victory in Upstate Eight Valley conference action.

“We tightened it down defensively, and the kids shot the ball well,” West Chicago coach Bill Recchia said. “Assistant coach [Brian] Ricci spends every day running shooting drills; we spend 20-30 minutes a day on shooting. We are shooting over 50 percent for the year and that’s the reason for it, the hard work the kids do and what coach Ricci does.

It’s paying off.”

Mikey Bibbs caught fire from the perimeter, knocking down six 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 27 points.

“We see Mikey do that every single day in practice,” Recchia said. “It’s not just something we see once or twice a year. We see that shooting consistently out of him, he is a dead-on shooter.”

John Konchar added 24 points and headed into this week just 105 points away from the program record for career points, which is held by Recchia.

“I can’t wait to be the first one to shake his hand when he breaks it,” the coach said.

“He is shooting 40 percent on threes and over 60 percent on twos.”

West Chicago was coming off a 70-69 loss to Metea Valley in which the Wildcats came back from a 16-point halftime deficit to tie the score before falling short in the closing seconds.

“We had the opportunity to

Wheaton North wins with Jones’ late jumper

By SCOTT SCHMID sschmid@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – Emari Jones seems to have a knack for the big shot.

For the second time in the past month, the Wheaton North junior guard sank the game-winner for the Falcons, this time as the buzzer sounded in a 70-68 win against Naperville Central on Saturday.

“She’s pretty fearless,” Wheaton North coach Dave Eaton said of his junior point guard. “She wanted the ball and she knew what she was looking for. She definitely wants the ball late.”

Jones, who received a long pass from Maggie Will at the 3-point line with 2.7 seconds left on the clock, took one dribble and nailed a pull-up jumper to finish with 14 points, 12 of which came in the final three and a half minutes. She also added 16 rebounds.

Chrissy Baird scored a game-high 24 points and eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for her career in the process.

Heading into this week, she was second on the program’s all-time scoring list with 1,014 points, trailing only Fantasia Vine (1,048). The Falcons had led by as many as 13 points early in the contest before watching the home team battle back.

“I think being tired was a part of it,” Eaton said. “We haven’t defended that well recently, but I thought the kids played really good defense in the first half. We had really challenged them after losing to West Auro-

Losing leads has been an issue of late for North. Against West Aurora, the Falcons saw a 13-point lead heading into the

fourth quarter disappear in an eventual loss, which virtually knocked the team out of the DVC race. The Falcons were outscored 31-12 in the final frame after entering with a 5340 advantage.

“West Aurora has been playing well and they made some big shots,” Eaton said.

“Give their kids credit. But when a team puts up 31 points in a quarter, obviously there are some flaws in the defense.

But you still have to make the shots no matter what.

“For our kids to be in a similar situation Saturday and to be able to maintain their composure and get that win, that was big.”

ting back out there and being able to play again.”

Biegalski scored 13 points in his re-entry to the Falcons lineup, a total that was matched by Jake Heggeland. Nick Traversa topped the squad with 14 points.

“It was fun to be able to play four quarters against them and to get a good team win,” Biegalski said.

Biegalski’s injury is just one of many that the Falcons have dealt with this winter. But the team has found a way to keep

their head above water, improving to 11-9 on the season after Friday’s win.

“It’s been awesome with everyone rallying around each other,” the senior said, “and buying into the system coach Brackmann is running. If someone goes down, other people step up. It’s great to be a part of this.”

Wheaton North, which dropped a 42-29 decision to Naperville North on Feb. 4, heads to Lombard on Friday for a DuP-

age Valley Conference matchup with Glenbard East.

“Hopefully we can get on a winning streak,” Biegalski said, “and go into the playoffs as strong as possible.”

South seniors make college sports commitments

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK TOMEI BALL Glenbard South Senior | Basketball Why Bell was selected:

The Raiders’ leading scorer this season, Ball scored 25 points in Friday’s win against Elmwood Park.

Glenbard South senior Tomei Ball has been a solid contributor on the court throughout her four years at the school. This season, the forward is averaging about 14 points and six rebounds per game. On Friday, she totaled 25 points as the Raiders clinched the outright Metro Suburban Conference title with an 85-34 win against Elmwood Park. Ball, the Wheaton Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke to Suburban Life sports reporter Scott Schmid about the team’s accomplishment and the upcoming postseason.

How special is it to win the conference title?

One of our goals was to win conference and it feels really good to know we achieved that goal.

With a win Friday against Fenton, your team would go

undefeated in the league. How important is that?

It would be great to go undefeated in conference, we haven’t done that since Nevena [Markovic] was here. We’d like to try and do that again.

What do you think about your team receiving the No. 2 seed in the sectional?

It’s definitely, for lack of a better word, flattering. To be No. 2 under Montini, they are a very good team and we are looking forward to hopefully playing them again.

Averaging more than 70 points per game over the last seven contests, what is going right on offense for the team?

We are moving the ball really well and sharing the ball really well. Everybody is getting looks, and everybody is playing defense really well and we are scoring off transition.

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

FOOD |

Food trends Celebrity chef Elizabeth Falkner, a multiple award-winning chef, and restaurateur and Bravo and Food Network personality who currently serves as executive chef of Corvo Bianco in New York City, points to these top food trends to watch in 2014: Bolder fusions: Earlier iterations of the fusion trend focused on combining ethnic styles of cuisine. In 2014, the trend will focus on unique flavor combinations that transcend ethnic themes. a fresh take on tea: Falkner also predicts the culinary world will continue to explore creative ways to use tea as an ingredient in a variety of dishes. Not just for sipping anymore, tea is a natural ingredient that’s finding its way into rubs, broths and marinades.

Upscale comfort food: Grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, tomato soup, franks and beans — foods we grow up with have taken root in the American psyche as comfort foods that warm our souls as much as they fill our bellies. This year, comfort food will continue to go upscale as chefs take basics like mac and cheese and update them by adding high-end ingredients like sauteed salami, peppers, onions and sun-dried tomatoes.

One of Falkner’s favorite takes on the trend is Grilled Cheese Caprese made with several different cheeses, such as fior di latte and fontina, basil and pickled tomato jam. super seaweed: A nutritional powerhouse, seaweed will make its way into more recipes this year, Falkner predicts. Look for varieties like dulse, kelp, combu, hijiki and nori to appear as ingredients in dishes from desserts to main courses. Falkner uses hijiki seaweed to create an Asian-style coleslaw that’s super-healthy, easy to make and a great accompaniment to a variety of dishes.

Beyond beef: Chefs are stepping up to meet Americans’ taste for alternative proteins by incorporating a variety of options into their menus. In 2014, you’ll find goat, rabbit, quail, sweetbreads and pigeon on restaurant menus.

Individuality ;quals gr;at;r cooking and flavor vari;ty

By Linda Bassett more Content Now

Our mothers and grandmothers thought of all potatoes as interchangeable. They’d bake or boil whatever they found in the grocery store for dinner. That grocery store didn’t offer many choices, just the same mealy Russets, waxy red-skinned tubers and gnarly spuds from Maine, earth still clinging to them, week after week.

Fast forward a couple of generations, and we have learned to get better flavor and texture if we treat potatoes as individuals. We don’t need to settle for only three or four variations.

The produce section of the supermarket heaps up a revolving rainbow of potatoes every week, including yellow Yukon golds, white creamers, Peruvian purples and sandy brown Russets.

And sizes from new potatoes as small as pearl onions to Russets as nearly large as footballs. (OK, I exaggerated.)

Writers have dreamed up entire cookbooks featuring nothing but potatoes. We still like to pair them with sour cream and bacon, but we can apply those ingredients to Yukon golds turned into potato soup instead of plain-old baked Russets.

We still mash them, but know we can avoid peeling if we use pretty red-skinned potatoes.

And we can skip the butter and cream in those mashed potatoes, getting them to equal deliciousness using golden olive oil and a few cloves of garlic instead.

Today’s cooks feel confident enough to experiment with grandma’s scalloped potato recipe, adding two extra cheeses to her basic white cheddar while sticking with her Idahoes, now better than ever thanks to improved agricultural techniques.

I’ve used blue and Parmesan

cheeses with the cheddar here, but I’m not afraid to shake up my own recipe with a little gouda or smoked Havarti or asiago. Three hot potato recipes follow:

Olive Oil and Garlic Mashed Potatoes makes 6 to 8 servings n 3 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes, skin on n 3 large cloves garlic, inner skin on n 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus additional if needed n salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Bring the potatoes and garlic to a boil in a pot with enough water to cover. reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Drain. return potatoes only to the pot, cooking for just a minute or two to evaporate extra moisture.

Transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl. squeeze the garlic from the skins; add to the potatoes. Beat with an electric mixture until fluffy.

(Do not use a food processor.)

Then beat in the olive oil. season with salt and pepper and serve hot.

Roasted Potato Soup with Sour Cream and Bacon makes 4 to 8 servings n 4 thin-skinned medium potatoes, e.g., Yukon gold, skin-on, sliced 1/4-inch thick n 2 t olive oil n salt, ground black pepper n 6 thyme sprigs n 6 slices bacon, coarsely chopped n 1/2 cup sour cream n 2 t minced chives Heat oven to 375 F. Toss the potatoes in oil and a half teaspoon salt. spread them on a rimmed baking sheet; bake uncovered until tender, 35 minutes. Transfer to a pot.

Pour 1 cup boiling water into the baking sheet; swirl to deglaze, then pour the water into the pot with potatoes. Add 5 cups boiling water and thyme sprigs; cover tightly and set aside for 1 hour. meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp. set aside to drain on paper towels. remove and discard thyme from the pot. Puree the potato mixture until smooth, adding more water if too thick. Add salt and pepper. reheat the soup over low heat.

Pour the hot soup into bowls.

Dollop with sour cream; sprinkle with bacon and chives.

Scalloped Potatoes with Three Cheeses makes 12 servings. A cook actually can hold potatoes for about 30 minutes before bringing them to the table: Let them stand at room temperature. Cover and re-warm in 375 F oven, 20 minutes. n 3/4 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar n 3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese n 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan n 4 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch thick rounds n salt, pepper, to taste n 1/4 cup finely chopped onion n 3 t all-purpose flour n 1/2 stick butter n 3 cups whole milk Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly butter a baking dish. mix cheeses in a bowl.

Arrange half of potatoes in baking dish, overlapping slightly. sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. sprinkle onion over, then four. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. sprinkle half the cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, salt, pepper, butter and cheese.

Bring milk to a simmer. Pour milk over potatoes (it will not cover completely). Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids may look curdled). sprinkle potatoes with cheese mixture. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deeply golden, about 45 minutes. Let stand about 15 minutes before serving.
