Oak Brook business owner’s legacy of helping those in need lives on By Lloyd J. Nelson lnelson@shawmedia.com

He spent the last moments of his life supporting those in need. Western Springs resident Shawn Feeley was traveling on his HarleyDavidson with a group of guys in the “Ride for Liberty,” a motorcycle trip dedicated to his volunteer work as a board member on EdgeAlliance, for homeless veterans in August when tragedy struck. Something happened to the 51-yearold Feeley as he was riding — what exactly still remains unknown — that caused him to fall off his bike on Route 41 in Lake County on Aug. 6. He remained in a coma for 10 days as his friends and family held vigil before he died Aug. 15.

STREET TALK What are you doing to prepare for the predicted end of the world on Dec. 21?

About EdgeAlliance Mission: EdgeAlliance is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago that assists its members in developing and operating quality housing and providing life-enriching services to vulnerable individuals and families Info: Call 773-935-4663 or visit edgealliance.org

But Feeley’s story doesn’t end there. The nonprofit EdgeAlliance had been working on opening a four-story graystone on Sawyer Avenue in Chicago. The home will house nine homeless veterans. It was a project Feeley believed strongly in and worked hard to see completed.

“I am guessing it’s not going to happen.” Jackie Roxworthy Hinsdale

“He gave a speech and he said, ‘These are guys who helped us, how could we not help them when they need it?’” said Feeley’s wife, MeLisa. “He believed in this.” And on Saturday, the Shawn Feeley Alpha House on Sawyer Avenue will have its grand opening, just in time for the holidays so homeless veterans don’t have to spend Christmas on the street. “I was just so touched,” Feeley’s wife said. “The legacy that this house is going to have and to have his name on it is such a tribute to Shawn and to all that he was.” Feeley, a co-founder of Evergreen Community Bank and executive vice president of Evergreen Bank Group in Oak Brook, was at heart a family man who loved his 14-year-old son, Will, his wife said.

“I can’t even come up with something as an answer.” Birgit Carrol Hinsdale

“He coached my son’s basketball rec center group,” MeLisa said. “He was a CCD teacher at St. John of the Cross. He just wanted to be involved in a lot of the things Will was involved in.” So MeLisa is doing what she can to get involved in those same activities Shawn held closely before he died, such as his work with EdgeAlliance. MeLisa and her son drove down to the Shawn Feeley Alpha House in Chicago on Dec. 1 in order to help fix up the home for incoming veterans. A home stager by trade, MeLisa brought her skills down to the home with her husband in mind. “I want to continue to do what he was so excited to do,” MeLisa Feeley said. “What he saw and his vision. I’m trying to make the house a home.”

“I’m waiting to be surprised.” Karolina Stein Hinsdale

TEAMING UP TO FIGHT HUNGER Chicago Blackhawks players, including Jonathan Toews, teamed up to fight hunger on Saturday during the Sultan and Sakeba Issa Family Foundation’s food drive for the Greater Chicago Food Depository at Global Luxury Imports in Burr Ridge. Sultan Issa recruited five Blackhawks to sign autographs for participating families during the two-hour event, which netted 13,000 pounds of food and raised $18,000, representing 9,500 meals served to Chicago-area families. The second-annual fundraiser was a 30-percent increase over the 2011 drive. Among the 400 guests was Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, on hand to thank the Issas for their community support. Tony Priolo and his Piccolo Sogno team donated food and champagne to serve guests as they viewed the collection of luxury and exotic cars while waiting for autographs by Chicago Blackhawks players Toews, Ben Eager, Daniel Carcillo, David Bolland and Marian Hossa.

Students create, sell winsome shell-themed art for fundraiser By Joe Sinopoli jsinopoli@shawmedia.com

OAK BROOK — Walker School student Lily Goers is just a slip of a girl with a beaming smile, a sweet-as-honey disposition with an artist’s hand. The 10-year-old and dozens of her fellow students in Butler School District 53, equally as sweet and artistic, stood eye-to-eye with nature’s fury and put their talents to work in an effort to help out New Jersey schools ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. Students in kindergarten through eighth grade, using seashells as a theme, created artwork in a variety of mediums, from greeting cards to stained glass and clay mosaics, that were sold or silentauctioned Wednesday at the new Art and Antique Centre of Oak Brook, 2208 W. Midwest Road. District 53 spokeswoman Faith Behr said $5,700 was raised through the sale and silent auction. Under the direction of Butler Junior High and Brook Forest Schools art teacher Mike Divelbiss, the students in every grade created drawings, paper wall hangings, ornaments, refrigerator magnets and some See FUNDRAISER, Page 8

FUNDRAISER Continued from Page 6 fairly grand tile and glass mosaics. Students worked two weeks prior to the auction to complete their works of art. Divelbiss, who also is an instructor for art classes at the gallery, went to the gallery owner, Dr. Kianoosh Jafari, with the idea of holding the auction among Jafari’s collection of exceptional pieces of art, ranging from oriental carpets to fine oil paintings. “There are two purposes for the event,” Divelbiss said. “First and foremost, to allow our artists to create something with their hands that they could sell to raise money

for the victims of the hurricane. By sharing (their work) in this kind of venue raises self-esteem and really makes them feel like artists.” Secondly, and no less important, the students wanted to help their fellow peers along the New Jersey shore, Divelbiss added. The effort was put out for “Seashells for NJ Shores,” a fundraising program developed by New Jersey elementary art teacher Suzanne Tiedeman, whose school was damaged by Hurricane Sandy. The Butler School District and other schools in Hinsdale and Clarendon Hills joined those across the nation to create and sell art, all for the benefit of New Jersey schools rebuilding after the storm. Another reason was to create a partnership with the gallery and its art program, Divelbiss said. Ron Goers, Lily’s father, attended the young artist’s showing in a real, live art gallery. He said he was not only impressed with the works of the students, but also with the gallery’s pieces that were on display. For Lily, it was all about helping those in need. “It feels good because now that all the money is going to them, they can have what

we have,” she said. Brook Forest School parent Earl Counter accompanied his daughter, second-grader Nicole, who looked every bit the artist in her military-style jacket festooned with patches. Counter said there were other lessons learned by the kids through the project. “It’s a lovely event and idea,” he said, “a wonderful way to get the kids involved in art and a way to give back to the community.” Nicole, who created a paper collage with a shell theme, said she was happy to be a part of the showing and helping out the schools out east “makes me feel good.”

For his part, Jafari said he was happy to open his new gallery to the children so they could show their work among his bronze sculptures, period furniture and exquisite timepieces. “I like encouraging the young generation to have an appreciation for art by getting them involved,” he said. “And we’re happy to see the interest of the parents and students.” Divelbiss said he was pleased with the outcome. “It truly was a fabulous night and wonderful way to celebrate the season of giving,” he said.

Every year during the holidays, people are burdened with many life issues such as job loss, health concerns, the passing of a loved one, coping with relationships, addictions and natural disasters. Jesus said: “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” The Salvation Army models these biblical passages and reaches out to those burdened to extend rest from daily struggles by providSue Linden ing holiday meal boxes, toys and clothing through the Angel Tree program, coat vouchers that provide additional clothing from our outlet stores, employment opportunities to bell ring for the Red Kettle campaign and, most importantly, a prayer of comfort. This work is accomplished by people whose hearts are moved to help others. The goodness of people still exists. We continue to have an overwhelming response from businesses, community groups and families wanting to volunteer to help make life a little easier for others. Phillips Flowers provides toy dropoff sites at all their locations along with using their vans and drivers to pick up toys from other Angel Tree participating companies. It is partnerships like this that make the burden light for everyone. One of our Advisory Council members still recalls the day when she was a child and her family received a knock on their door from us delivering a holiday food box. Thirty-five years later, she continues to pass on the goodness to others by making the Salvation Army part of her giving tradition. Please consider becoming a part of the giving tradition and join us by spending time as a volunteer bell ringer, donating new toys and clothes through the Angel Tree program or making a monetary donation. For more information or to make a donation, please contact me at 630-808-4165 or sue_linden@usc.salvationarmy.org.

NEWS BRIEFS Burr Ridge mayor Gary Grasso steps down

BURR RIDGE — Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso has stepped down, and Trustee Bob Sodikoff has been appointed in his place. Grasso resigned during a Village Board meeting this week. Sodikoff likely will step down as trustee so the Village Board will have the maximum number of voting members, according to media reports. The mayor serves as the tie-breaking vote among the six trustees or on issues that require a supermajority of votes to be enacted. Sodikoff, a trustee for 14 years, plans to run for mayor in April’s municipal election. Grasso had planned on remaining as mayor while also serving on the DuPage County Board, but changed his mind after 90 percent of DuPage County voters in the November election felt it was inappropriate for elected officials to serve in more than one office at a time. The referendum was non-binding.

Man arrested in connection with Oak Brook bank robbery OAK BROOK — Martin Crossley,

Crossley was taken into custody at a relative’s house in Lombard and charged with one count of bank robbery in connection with a robbery that happened at the First Merit Bank branch, 678 Lee St., Des Plaines on Nov. 30, according to the FBI. Although charges have not been filed, complainants allege that Crossley also robbed the PNC Bank branch at 1177 Lake Cook Road, Buffalo Grove on Nov. 19 and the Fifth Third Bank branch at 1603 W. 16th St. in Oak Brook on Nov. 29. Crossley appeared in court Tuesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cole, where he was formally charged. He will appear before Cole again today, and if convicted he faces a possible sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

In her five years, she has collaborated and led a team that fostered the integration of technology into classroom instruction and led curriculum in the alignment with the Common Core State Standards. “We are happy for Dr. Stutz in being given this exciting opportunity. She has done so much to advance the learning of District 181 students and the professional development of our staff while providing support and communication to families and the community,” Superintendent Renée Schuster said in a news release.

Group helps parents who’ve lost children learn to live again By Erinn Hutkin ehutkin@shawmedia.com

OAK BROOK — Joe Giampino’s son, Joey, was a bright, 48-year-old husband and father of three who lived in Maine. He owned his own business, his dad recalls, and he was very methodical. It’s a trait he exhibited even when he took his own life nearly two years ago on Feb. 15, 2011. He left notes behind for family members, his father said. He wrote them on the computer, made copies and signed each one. The only explanation was that his son felt the best part of his life was done. Even today, the 74-year-old Giampino, who lives in Western Springs, consoles himself by thinking his son must have been in terrible pain before he ended his life by carbon monoxide poisoning in his garage. Now, the father reminds himself, Joey’s not hurting anymore. But when his son’s suffering ended, that’s when the agony for Giampino and his wife, Carol, began. Losing a child, he says simply, is a parent’s worst nightmare. He knew he and his wife needed help coping with Joey’s death. One day, Carol finally turned to her husband and said, “I can’t do this anymore.” An online search soon led the couple to a support group for parents who, like them, lost children too soon. It’s called Compassionate Friends, a mix of brokenhearted moms and dads who meet twice each month to work through the loss of children who never leave their minds. The group, which meets at Cornerstone Community Church in Brookfield, is one of hundreds of chapters of the Oak Brook organization nationwide. The Brookfield branch was founded three years ago by parents who lost children and were looking not only to help themselves, but to help others. Like other parents who gather at meetings, Joe Giampino and his wife say they’ll

never fully accept the loss, but with the group’s help, they’re learning how to cope and move forward. “If you hear each and everyone’s story, it buffers the pain somewhat,” Joe Giampino said. “It’s strangely comforting. We laugh and we cry ... . We need each other for support and we all agree the pain never goes away ... . We learn to live with it.” Wendy Vach, who lives in Lisle, is one of the Brookfield group’s co-founders. She lost her daughter, Nikki, 10 years ago to cystic fibrosis. The chronic disease affects the lungs and digestive system and when Nikki was born, doctors said Vach would be lucky if her baby made it to 16. Instead, Nikki lived to be 22. After watching Nikki suffer through hospice with lungs so bad that the window for a transplant closed, Vach looked for any group she could find — a search that came up empty. Like other parents, she turned to friends and relatives for support, only to find that many expected her to move on or

get over her daughter’s death. “When they say somebody has a broken heart, that’s what it’s like,” she said. “I was hurting so bad and I couldn’t go to friends. They try to understand, but you know they just don’t get it.” Even therapists who haven’t lost a child, she reasons, can’t fully grasp the experience. That’s what’s different about Compassionate Friends. Here, parents find other parents who know exactly about loss. “I truly believe that ... helping others is a way to help yourself,” she said of co-founding the group. “Sometimes, people just need to talk to someone who understands ... . Coming to a support group doesn’t mean you’re not strong.” The reasons parents find their way to the group vary. Some knew their children were sick and watched them suffer. For others, the loss was sudden — car crashes or fatal gunshot wounds or for some, tragedies that made national news. That’s what happened to Gary Parmenter,

whose son, Dan, was a 20-year-old college sophomore. He was one of five students killed during the Feb. 14, 2008 massacre at Northern Illinois University. The Westchester resident took part in a handful of support groups after Dan’s death, and on the first anniversary of the shootings, NIU hosted a slew of events. Suddenly, for the first time in a long time, Parmenter began feeling better. It prompted him to visit Compassionate Friends’ national headquarters in Oak Brook, explain that support groups helped him let go of pain and offer to help other parents. There wasn’t a group in the west suburban area, so he was paired with Vach to launch one. “I don’t feel I can turn my back on other parents ... that are so broken they don’t know what to do next,” he said. Today, the group draws roughly eight to 12 parents at any given meeting. There’s no therapists, no judgments — just people sharing a range of emotions with the goal of helping each other through loss. In addition, a few weeks before Christmas each year, the group hosts a candlelight service at the church where families place framed photos of their sons or daughters on the altar, light candles and share memories of those who were lost. This year’s service took place Sunday, a solemn event that Joe Giampino and his wife attended for the second time. Even today, he still chokes up when talking about honoring his son during last year’s ceremony. “It’s a sense of support. A sense of not being alone,” he said. “It was like a soulcleansing.”

additional turn lanes were installed to the primarily commercial and business corridor and improvements were made to the many intersections along the project area. “The big push for the project was safety and congestion relief. That section of 75th Street carries 40,000 to 45,000 cars per day,” DuPage County engineer Chris Snyder said. Snyder said there is still work that needs to be done, such as the final surfacing, some curb work and grading. For that, lanes may be closed on an as-needed daily basis. “It’s a big project,” he said. A final completion date has yet to be

determined. The effect construction would have on business along the corridor was a big concern, Snyder said. A pre-construction meeting was held with the business community to explain the particulars of the project and how it would affect access into the businesses, he said. “The one thing we did do with this project is limit lane closures to daily closures, as opposed to totally closing lanes throughout the project” Snyder said. “At the Lemont Road intersection, we did have to close lanes permanently for a couple weeks because it

was a total reconstruction. We tried to work with the businesses to keep entrances open at all times.” The road work has included resurfacing of 75th Street between I-355 and Lyman Avenue in addition to Woodward Avenue and Lemont Road; construction of a new right-turn lane and dual left-turn lanes on 75th Street at Lemont Road; installation of new storm sewers, concrete curbs, gutters and traffic lights; construction of a bike path along the south side of 75th Street between Woodward and Lyman avenues; and the replacement of the existing landscape barrier median.

With Christmas just around the corner again, local animallovers are likely looking for ways to spoil their furry family members. Submitted photos

Santa paws

With Christmas approaching, get holiday gift ideas for your pets

ast year, roughly 51 of pet owners polled nationwide said they planned to buy holiday gifts for their pets. The most popular picks, according to the survey conducted by The Associated Press and petside.com, were toys, food, bedding and clothing. With Christmas just around the corner again, local animal-lovers are likely looking for ways to spoil their furry family members. For those in need of ideas, we spoke to locally owned pet stores and boutiques across the western suburbs to get some picks for toys, accessories and fun snacks to place under the tree or stuff in a stocking on Dec. 25.

Decorated gift plate WHERE: Happy Dog Barkery, 5118 Main St., Downers Grove COST: $3 to $10 Most people love getting a pretty plate of colorful Christmas cookies, so who says dogs won’t enjoy the same gift? The Happy Dog Barkery bakes decorated cookies — holiday-themed, of course — for furry friends at reasonable prices. “Nobody wants to spend $25 on a plate of cookies, so we try to keep it affordable,” said owner Beth Staley.

Christmas outfits WHERE: All Pet Pantry, 4910 A S. Main St., Lisle COST: $3.50 to $4.99

If you want to get your pet into the Christmas spirit this season, grab a Santa hat and maybe some reindeer antlers for Fido. Don’t forget to snap a few family photos!

Bottle Buddies WHERE: All Pet Pantry, 4910 S. Main St., Lisle COST: $6.99 Who knows why most dogs love chewing and chasing plastic water bottles, but they may love their bottles even more when they’re covered with a bottle buddy. Bottle buddies are simple fabric creatures that slide over bottles to provide dogs with the crunchy bite of a bottle coupled with the furry animals they often love. The All Pet Pantry carries Santa and reindeer bottle buddies.

Bag O Balls WHERE: The Modern Dog Boutique, 29 S. Prospect Ave., Clarendon Hills COST: $16.50 to $19.99 This toy is exactly what it seems like — a ball filled

with little balls. Sound simple? It is, sort of. “It’s really interactive because you can stuff all the balls in the big ball and then the dog has to pull them out,” said owner Lila Musti. “Some little balls have a squeaker in them and some don’t, so the dog has to find the balls with the squeaker.”

Dog Treat Maze WHERE: The Modern Dog Boutique, 29 S. Prospect Ave., Clarendon Hills COST: $14.99 to $21.99 If you want to give your pet a gift that doubles as a present for yourself, a dog treat maze could be the perfect solution. Fill the maze with treats or dog food, and your pet will likely be preoccupied turning and rolling the disc-shaped maze until they find all the food. “I like it because it’s something that makes your dog think that actually helps to tire them out and burn energy,” owner Lila Musti said. — Allison Horne

Beat holiday boredom at winter break camps

DO IT

WHAT YOU NEED

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost winter break, and that means the kids will be underfoot for an extended period of time. Rather than let them sit around the house, why not send them to tumble with the tigers and wander through a winter wonderland? Brookfield Zoo, as well as several park districts, will hold annual winter camps at the end of the month for kids with energy and time on their hands. The Brookfield Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flurries of Fun winter camp kicks off just before Christmas with fun for youth of all ages. Each day of camp focuses on animals from different parts of the world and how they adapt in the winter to their environments. Kids at the camp will be separated based on their age into smaller, more interactive groups that best fit their knowledge level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summertime fun during the winter at the zoo,â&#x20AC;? said Jill Damato, the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of Nature Start programs. Everything in the camp revolves around animals, from art projects to inquisitive science questions. Daily activities include hiking, visiting with animals and plenty of indoor activities such as games and crafts. One of the highlights of the camp is the kids being able to interact with the animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely make a point that the kids have a chance to connect with the animals,â&#x20AC;? Damato said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be some special activity where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating an enrichment item like adding something new to their exhibit or adding a structure to put their treats intoâ&#x20AC;Ś They get to see the animal get the items and how they react to what they did.â&#x20AC;?

The zoo provides the animals and fun, but campers must bring a few things with them. Since each day will be full of activities and walking, clothing can be crucial to having fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of camp where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be doing a lot of moving around,â&#x20AC;? Damato said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be prepared to be on the move with comfy shoes and clothing.â&#x20AC;? She also recommends bringing a hat, gloves and winter jacket, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not extremely cold outside. Participants will spend prolonged periods of time outside, and the weather could change. Gym shoes are also a must â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Brookfield Zoo covers 216 acres â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and kids will take treks to see some of the animals. There will be plenty of snacks and hot chocolate at camp, but kids must bring a sack lunch with them each day.

WHERE TO GO n Brookfield Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flurries of Fun is three days of fun in the snow with the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animals. There are three sessions that run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily from Dec. 19 to 21, Dec. 26 to 28 and Jan. 2 to 4. Participants can come for all three days of a session, or choose which days they want to come. The cost is $175 for members or $250 for nonmembers for three days, or $70 for members or $90 for nonmembers per day. Brookfield Zoo is located at 8400 West 31st St., Brookfield. Call 708-485-0263 or visit czs.org for more details. n Escape the boredom of winter vacation with the Downers Grove Park Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winter Break Escape.

The camp spans six days and participants can come for as many days as they want. For residents, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $28 per day or $210 for all six days. For nonresidents, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $35 per day and $270 for the whole camp. The sessions will be held at the Sunset Knoll Recreation Center, 820 S. Finley Road, Lombard.

World cuisines made simple Burr Ridge cooking instructor turns up creative heat

FIND HER CLASSES WHAT Samira Shahzad teaches an array of international cooking classes in Burr Ridge CONTACT www. samirashahzad. com to reserve a spot

Burr Ridge resident Samira Shahzad designed her suburban home to include an elegant, custom-built cooking studio exclusively for group classes and gatherings for women. Staff photo by Renee Tomell

amira Shahzad says she has the art of cooking down to a science. The Burr Ridge resident spends part of the year in her native Pakistan, where she’s taught the cuisines of five continents — from continental to Chinese to fine dining — for 26 years, following her own studies with noted chefs. She designed her suburban home to include an elegant, custom-built cooking studio exclusively for group classes and gatherings for women. To introduce her demonstration courses, the first class is free.

What’s your teaching approach? My aim for my students is that their amount of time in the kitchen is the least possible, while the results are ultra professional. And I believe I’ve achieved that. You can make wonderful food without any stress, and enjoy the process. It brings families together. And my recipes are foolproof. (You get the) same results every time.

Where do you start? The most important thing I teach students is how to organize their kitchen. How to use the freshest and most natural ingredients, and how to organize them so that it doesn’t take time. Time is something that nobody has enough of. Once they’re organized, it hardly

takes any time at all to make things of gourmet quality.

One of your time-saving tips is freezing some of the key ingredients? Take fresh ginger, peel it, and in the food processor coarsely chop it. Put small bags in the freezer. (To use it), smash it a little. (The labor) is done for the next three months. I get the freshest ingredients without the hassle of making it again and again. That’s what I do with green chilies, garlic, lemon juice, homemade chicken broth. I get the most important ingredients without any preservatives or chemicals. You have them at your fingertips.

Another tip? All the ingredients I use, like the spices, I don’t use (finely) ground, but a little coarse. And don’t over crush the garlic or ginger or green chilies. That gives you more flavor, and keeps it from becoming overpowering.

You teach a variety of ethnic cuisines including Thai and Chinese, and share related information. The food is a kind of fusion. I teach history, geog-

raphy, time management; what you can prepare 36 hours in advance; what you can freeze, and what you can’t.

You actually guarantee your teaching. I’ve perfected it to a point where I give guaranteed results for anybody, anywhere in the world. They can attend the same class again for free if they’re not able to make anything. Nobody has ever taken me up on the offer in 26 years.

You also teach a range of calorie-burning recipes, fitnessoriented menus and fruit smoothies. There’s tons of food you can do within 200 calories. I’m a health junkie. (Note: In addition to also being an interior designer, she creates diverse designs for the production of handmade furniture, decorative elements and rugs she plans to offer online.

BOYS Hinsdale Central TOURNAMENT Proviso West Holiday Tournament LOCATION Proviso West High School, 4701 W. Harrison St., Hillside FIRST GAME 12:15 p.m. Dec. 26 vs. Stevenson WHAT TO WATCH Hinsdale Central returns to this prestigious event which has expanded to 32 teams this winter. The field is always loaded with ranked teams and this year is no different. Included in that group are Morgan Park, Homewood-Flossmoor, Proviso East, Oswego and St. Joseph. As a result, the Red Devils will see exactly how they stack up against some of the best in Illinois. The squad will open against Stevenson with either Von Steuben or St. Charles East awaiting in the second game. Hinsdale Central currently stands with a record of 3-3 after a pair of close losses to Oak Park-River Forest and Naperville Central last weekend. The Red Devils are led by Brian Owens, Matt Rafferty, Chase Hamilton and Alec Hutcherson.

Hinsdale South TOURNAMENT Hinsdale South Holiday Classic LOCATION Hinsdale South High School, 7401 Clarendon Hills Road, Darien FIRST GAME 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. Minooka WHAT TO WATCH An inexperienced Hornets team has had some understandable growing pains thus far but seem headed on the right track under first-year coach Tanner Mitchell.

Hinsdale South owns a 2-5 record heading into Friday’s matchup with Leyden, though its last two losses to undefeated Glenbard West and Downers Grove South (4-2 record) have come by a combined nine points. The Hornets have three games remaining, against Leyden, Morton and Bloom, before hosting their own holiday tournament for the second consecutive year. Hinsdale South is the No. 12 seed in the 16-team bracket and will open up against No. 5 Minooka with the winner advancing to play either Stagg or Highland Park in the second round. Lake Forest, St. Patrick and Brother Rice are the top three seeds.

Downers Grove South TOURNAMENT Proviso West Holiday Tournament LOCATION Proviso West High School, 4701 W. Harrison St., Hillside FIRST GAME 12:15 p.m. Dec. 22 vs. Westinghouse WHAT TO WATCH The Mustangs are on the move, switching from York’s Jack Tosh Tournament to the newly-expanded Proviso West tourney, which is one of the premier events in the state. Former Tosh cohorts St. Charles East and Maine South also are making the same switch. South, which started the year 4-2 even though it returned just one starter (Danny Spinuzza) this winter, might take some lumps at Proviso, but playing elite competition will only serve to make the team better. Win or lose against Westinghouse, the Mustangs will take on Chicago charter school Ellison or

GIRLS Hinsdale Central TOURNAMENT Bill Neibch Falcon Classic LOCATION Wheaton North High School, 1 Falcon Way, Wheaton FIRST GAME 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. Jacobs WHAT TO WATCH After a building year in 2011-12, a more experienced Red Devils team has seen its hard work pay off thus far. Dropping its season opener to Naperville Central, Hinsdale Central rebounded to win six of its next seven games, which includes West Suburban Silver victories over York, Lyons Township and Downers Grove North. Sophomore Gabrielle Rush continues to be the star though she is receiving plenty of contributions from her teammates, including senior Lily Sarros. The Red Devils have two more league contests against Oak Park-River Forest and Glenbard West before heading to the Falcon Classic, where they received the No. 4 seed. The squad will take on Jacobs with the winner playing either LT or St. Charles East in the second round.

Hinsdale South TOURNAMENT Montini Christmas tournament LOCATION Montini Catholic High School, 16W070 16th St., Lombard FIRST GAME 8 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. Romeoville WHAT TO WATCH After a couple of hiccups early on, Hinsdale South has turned it on as of late, winning its third

consecutive game Tuesday with a 38-30 decision over Downers Grove South. The victory, which upped the team’s overall record to 4-3, also kept the Hornets undefeated in West Suburban Gold conference play heading into this weekend’s matchups with Leyden and Willowbrook. Senior Toni Romiti is the unquestioned leader of the young team, and she has played like a superstar in the early going, helping to ease the loss of a strong senior class which included four-year varsity standout Uzo Okoro. Junior Mary Clare Ladd has also stepped up for the Hornets. Hinsdale South could face its stiffest challenges of the season at the Montini event, which features one of the strongest fields in the state of Illinois. Included amongst the 16 teams are the likes of Marian Catholic, Rolling Meadows, Romeoville and the host Lady Broncos, all of which are undefeated and ranked highly in the state. The Hornets open up with Romeoville. The winner would take on either Plainfield East and Oak Park-River Forest in the second round.

Downers Grove South TOURNAMENT Oswego East Holiday Classic LOCATION Oswego East, 1525 Harvey Road, Oswego FIRST GAME 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22 vs. Plainfield Central WHAT TO WATCH A tournament with 12 teams divided into four pools, the Mustangs will also play Aurora Central Catholic at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 27 as part of tourney action.

Lyons Township

TOURNAMENT Jack Tosh Holiday Classic LOCATION York High School, 355 W. St. Charles Road, Elmhurst FIRST GAME 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. Lane Tech WHAT TO WATCH The Lions have been somewhat inconsistent this season and will hope to build some momentum over the holiday season. LT’s two most experienced players, seniors Jarryd Heath and Chris O’Reilly, have been dangerous offensively, but the rest of the team is still coming along. Sophomore point guard Harrison Niego has emerged as an intriguing prospect, and junior forward Matt Mrazek worked his way into the starting lineup after joining from the football team. LT could be a tougher team in the second half of the year once the rotation settles in and the team has more time to jell. The tournament field at York has been trimmed down to 12 this year, but there are still some quality squads there. St. Ignatius, Naperville North, Riverside Brookfield and the host Dukes look to be among the favorites. LT plays Lane Tech and Waubonsie Valley in pool play and has Riverside Brookfield’s Miki Ljuboja goes hard a crossover game against St. Ignatius. to the basket against Lyons Township’s Matt Mrazek Dec. 1. Staff photo by Bill Ackerman

The final two days of the tournament are Dec. 28 and 29 with the first-, second- and third-place teams from each pool meeting on Dec. 28. The Mustangs started the season 5-2 with every victory coming by more than 10 points. They were looking to continue that trend in the three games leading up to the tournament: Dec. 11 at Hinsdale South, 7:30 p.m. Friday against visiting Morton and at home at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20 against Glenbard South. Megan Brashaw, Jessica Zuidema and Kirsten Zemke have been leading a relatively young team that has just three seniors. South will face either Metea Valley, Lemont or Plainfield North on the next-to-last day of the tourney.

HINSDALE SOUTH The Hornets lost 63-57 to Downers Grove South Friday in a West Suburban Gold matchup.

Girls basketball HINSDALE CENTRAL Behind 30 points from Gabrielle Rush and 24 from Lily Sarros, Hinsdale Central defeated Oak Park-River Forest 76-68 in West Suburban Silver action Tuesday. Hinsdale Central was coming off a 66-49 win over Downers Grove North Saturday. Rush again led all scorers with 24 points while Maddie Roglich also checked into double figures with 12. HINSDALE SOUTH The Hornets won their third consecutive contest, defeating Downers Grove South 38-30 Tuesday. The team improved to 3-0 in the West Suburban Gold conference and 4-3 overall. Mary Claire Ladd topped all scorers with 12 points.

Girls gymnastics HINSDALE CENTRAL Behind all-around champion Erin Morgan, the Red Devils won its own invite Saturday with a score of 141.575. Cayley Brenk added a fourth-place finish in the all-around with a total of 34.550. Morgan placed first on uneven bars (9.650), balance beam (9.40) and floor (9.45) and was runner-up on vault (9.20) Brenk (8.90) and Annie Zircher (8.85) were second and third, respectively, on balance beam while Brenk and Hannah Kapelinski tied for eighth on uneven bars (8.50). Brenk was also fifth on floor (8.750) and Kapelinski was eighth on beam (8.50). Emma Christoph added a third-place showing on floor (9.05). On Dec. 5, Hinsdale Central defeated Downers Grove North 137.60-123.10 in a West Suburban Silver dual meet. Morgan again won the all-around with a 37.150 and Brenk was second (33.350). HINSDALE SOUTH The Hornets finished in third-place at the Red Devil Invite Saturday with a score of 133.75. Maddie Nowak was the runner-up in the all-around competition with a total of 36.65 and Jessica Hawken was seventh (33.50). Nowak won on vault with a 9.35, was second on uneven bars (9.55) and floor (9.150) and sixth on balance beam (8.60). Hawken placed fifth on vault (9.00) and sixth on floor (8.70).

Lyons Township TOURNAMENT Bill Neibch Falcon Classic LOCATION Wheaton North High School, 701 W. Thomas Road, Wheaton TOURNAMENT SEED No. 5 FIRST GAME 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 26 vs. St. Charles East WHAT TO WATCH After starting the season 4-0 and winning its own Thanksgiving tournament, LT dropped its first two conference games. The Lions got on the board in the West Suburban Silver with a win at Glenbard West, but the holiday season will provide LT a chance to work out some kinks before heading into the second half of the season. Senior Ashanti Davis has been key for the Lions, but has missed some time with injury. Davis and the Lions could see No. 4 seed Hinsdale Central on Day 2. The Red Devils beat LT 38-33 on Dec. 4 and they play again on Dec. 21. If the rivals meet at this tournament, it would be the third meeting in December.

HINSDALE CENTRAL Last weekend was full of heartbreak for the Red Devils, who dropped two games by a combined seven points. On Saturday, Hinsdale Central fell by a 69-64 margin in overtime to Naperville Central in non-conference play. Alec Hutcherson scored 17 points to top the team while Matt Rafferty added 13. A night earlier, the squad lost 47-45 to defending West Suburban Silver champion Oak Park-River Forest.

HINSDALE CENTRAL The Red Devils defeated Downers Grove North 111-75 in a West Suburban Silver dual meet Friday. Patrick Mis won the 200-yard freestyle in 1:57.68, Will Leach came in first in both the 200 IM (2:09.39) and 500 free (5:08.3), and Connor Schroyer emerged victorious in the 100 butterfly (55.88 seconds). Other winners were Banistre Lienhart (100 free) and Eddie Mapel (100 backstroke). Elliot Arnold and Sam Pielet placed 1-2 in the 1-meter diving event with scores of 173.10 and 168.75, respectively. Placing second were Danny Ciciora (100 butterfly) and Mark Smith (500 free). The 200 medley relay grouping of Mapel, Ciciora, Alex Cruz and George Koulouris won in 1:45.13.

News Facts 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.34 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending December 6, 2012, up from last week when it averaged 3.32 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.99 percent. 15-year FRM this week averaged 2.67 percent with an average 0.6 point, up from last week when it averaged 2.64 percent.

Visit the following links for Regional and National Mortgage Rate Details and Definitions. Borrowers may still pay closing costs which are not included in the survey. Quotes Attributed to Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist, Freddie Mac. “Mortgage rates were little changed and near record lows this week amid indicators of stronger economic growth and signs of tame inflation. Third quarter real GDP growth was revised from an initial report of 2.0 percent to 2.7 percent, nearly matching the market consensus forecast. Meanwhile, the 12-month growth rate of the core price index of consumer expenditures remained at 1.7 percent in October which is on the low

end of the Federal Reserve’s projection range for this year. “The housing market is aiding in this recovery. For instance, fixed residential investment added positive growth over the past six consecutive quarters and in the third quarter alone contributed 0.3 percentage points to real GDP growth. In addition, residential construction spending was up 3 percent between September and October. And, pending home sales saw a 5.2 percent increase in October to its highest reading since March 2007.” Get the latest information from Freddie Mac’s Office of the Chief Economist on Twitter:@FreddieMac Freddie Mac was established by Congress in 1970 to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation’s residential mortgage markets. Freddie Mac supports communities across the nation by providing mortgage capital to lenders. Today Freddie Mac is making home possible for one in four homebuyers and is one of the largest sources of financing for multifamily housing.
