More Post Office Reductions But No Changes Are Occurring on Southwest Side for Now By AMANDA DRAPIEWSKI

With possible unprecedented cuts to first-class mail next spring, residents could see slower delivery for the first time in 40 years, eliminating the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day. Faced with a massive nationwide infrastructure that is no longer financially sustainable, the U.S. Postal Service proposed sweeping changes designed to save the organization up to $3 billion a year by cutting its network of processing facilities by over half and adjusting service standards.

Proposals under consideration include studying nearly 250 processing facilities for possible consolidation or closure, reducing mail processing equipment by as much as 50 percent, dramatically decreasing the nationwide transportation network, adjusting the workforce size by as many as 35,000 positions, and revising service standards for First-Class Mail. “The impact of these proposed changes — and nothing is finalized — will be minimal to customers,” said Mark Reynolds, communications pro-

grams specialist for the U.S. Postal Service. Mail volume has declined by more than 43 billion pieces in the past five years and is continuing to decline. First-Class Mail has dropped 25 percent and single piece First-Class Mail, letters bearing postage stamps, has declined 36 percent in the same timeframe, and nearly 50 percent in the past 10 years. The decline has created substantial excess capacity within the postal processing network. continued on page 23

New Ward Map May Affect The Fifteenth Ward By AMANDA DRAPIEWSKI

Several proposals have been suggested to remap the aldermanic wards. Chicago aldermen are trying to figure out how to divide the city’s map to reflect the new census numbers. According to reports, the black population has declined by 181,000, whites have dropped by 53,000, and Latinos have grown by 25,000. Hispanics are slated to gain a white ward. As head of the Rules Committee, Ald.

Weekly meetings to help combat crime in and around Chicago Public Schools will take place with police district commanders. Mayor Rahm Emanuel unveiled a high school version of CompStat, the crime-fighting strategy promoted by Police Supt. Garry McCarthy. So far, the only two schools who are partaking in this program, according to Chicago Lawn (8th) District Commander John Kupczyk’s office, are Gage Park High School, 5630 S. Rockwell St., and Kennedy High School, 6325 W. 56th St. Schools such as Bogan, Hubbard, Hancock and others will make appointments later for their weekly meetings. Right now, according to Kupczyk’s office, Gage Park and Kennedy are the first two that will be meeting. CompStat is a multilayered dynamic approach to crime reduction, quality of life improvement, and personnel and resource management. CompStat employs geographic information systems and was intended to map crime and identify problems. The CompStat program involves weekly crime control strategy meetings. These gatherings increase information flow between the agency’s executives and the commanders of operational units, with particular emphasis on crime and quality of life enforcement information. continued on page 23

SOUTHWEST NEWS-HERALD

This week, let’s go back to 1940 and see what was happening in the neighborhood. The community newspaper for Chicago Lawn, Marquette Manor, West Lawn, Gage Park, and Clearing was the Southwest News. As we learned a couple of weeks ago, Ed Vondrak purchased the Southwest News and merged it with his Southwest Herald. It became the Southwest News-Herald. The Southwest News was the “Voice of the Southwest Community” and was delivered by union carriers every Thursday for the price of 3 cents. A subscription by mail was just $3 per year, but then again, postage was only a penny for a first class letter. Let’s see what was in the paper this week in 1940. As we’ve learned throughout the years, things change, but many things remain the same. Folks face many of the same challenges no matter which decade we are visiting. In 1940, much to the chagrin of homeowners, property taxes had gone up again. Property assessments on the Southwest Side in the township of Lake, which is south of

Today is Friday, Dec. 9. There are only 22 days left in 2011. In 1531, Juan Diego reportedly had a vision of a young woman while he was standing on a hill in the desert near Mexico City. The lady told him to build a church on that spot. He told the bishop who asked for proof. Returning to the spot, he told the lady his news and she said to bring back the roses. Juan looked behind him, where he saw a blooming rosebush. He cut the roses and put them in his poncho and brought them back to the bishop. When he opened his cape, instead of roses, reportedly there was an image of the lady surrounded by roses on the inside of his poncho. This beautiful woman is now known as Our Lady of Guadalupe and her feast day is celebrated on

Pershing Road and west of State Street, had totaled $53 million the year before, and in 1940 totaled almost $56 million, an increase of just about $3 million. The newly-formed Chicago Lawn Chamber of Commerce told residents: “When buying gifts this season, remember the merchants whose stores throughout the year make our community a more pleasant place for us to live. “The owners of your neighborhood stores do not reside in New York or Philadelphia. They are your neighbors, interested in our progress and welfare. Money spent with them will redound to your own benefit. Better stores are an asset, which will improve your community. Shop here before going elsewhere.” And the post office had an important message: “Postmaster Kruetgren is earnestly urging that the public mail their Christmas cards and parcels allowing at least 10 days for delivery or they will not arrive in time.” Sixty-one years ago, Lindblom and Harper were the closest public

high schools. This week in 1940, Edith Bennett had been selected as “Miss Posture” of Harper High School. This must have been quite an honor because there were 54 finalists, it took the judges two hours to decide, and the announcement made the front page of the 8-page newspaper. The Southwest Businessmen’s Association Annual Christmas Fund Boxing Show was held at Flynn’s Hall. Tickets for the eight all-star bout charity events were 55 cents. Special guests were County Clerk Michael Flynn, and Aldermen Michael Hogan (13th) and James Kovarik (15th). Last week, we talked about Marquette Records in 1956. In 1940, at the same location, was Marquette Electric. They also advertised the largest and most complete selection of RCA Victor record albums. The price? Thirtyfive cents and up. Over at Paschke’s on 63rd and Francisco, records were 10 cents, and free with a $1 purchase. “We have all of the latest popular hit recordings. Come in and rent a phonograph for your Christmas party, and your guests will have a grand time.” We’ll return to 1940 next week. Although you’re probably too young, does anyone remember joining the Smackers Club? Have a great week!

They construct the largest Nativity scene and put up all the lighting the day after Thanksgiving and take it down on the last day of December. City officials did not always welcome the display, stating that it was located on city property and that violated the principle of separation of church and state. People from all over the world called to protest the removal, and they won. I don’t know about you but I for one do not like the changes to the Catholic Mass. I don’t

PIEROGI, ANYONE?—Visitors didnʼt have to ask twice for pierogi at the Polish table during the 15th annual Taste of St. Denis Fest on Nov. 13 at Father Fullmer Hall, 8300 S. St. Louis Ave., Chicago. (News-Herald Photo by Joe Boyle)

I have once again started wearing the pretty red pin given to me several years ago by Ciocia Carol and Wujek Richard, which says: “I love Christmas.” I can’t even believe that it is once again time to light the Advent Candle in the Advent Wreath (three purple candles and one pink candle), which should be on your dining table to teach your children this beautiful tradition. And it is true, as is said in Advent, that we should be watchful and alert as see the point. Priests complain no one participates. I don’t think this is going to help. The changes are small and just enough for you to screw up. On top of it, the priest I had made the congregation do it over until they got it right. Please send your Gage Park information to karen.sala@hotmail.com. I need the information at least a week in advance. My column goes in a week before it is printed in the paper.

Offering Support For Youths with Autism A free support group for parents or caregivers of children with autism meets from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 29 at Trinity Evangelical Covenant Church, 9230 S. Pulaski, Oak Lawn. The group, in partnership with The Southwest Cook County Chapter of the Autism Society of Illinois, will help clarify misconceptions, answer questions, provide professional guidance and identify resources.

we do not know when the time will come. Welcoming the Holy Baby has become such a great event in our lives. I have become a food freak watching television station WTTW (Ch. 11) during their special fund-raiser as they give lots of information on nutrition. I have posted a sign on the refrigerator that says: “The salad is the main dish.” I’ve also been throwing almonds, cashews and walnuts into the salads, hoping that I will also lose some weight as Thanksgiving Day was too generous. We send to all our friends celebrating their birthdays in December a very Happy Birthday wish, and inform them that the flower is the narcissus and the holly, and the gem is the turquoise and the zircon. Since the 12 days of Christmas are arriving, the gracious staff at Autumn Green at Midway Village invites us to a Holiday Ball at 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15 at their independent and assisting living quarters, 6700 S. Keating Ave. Reservations, which are required, may be made by calling (888) 2145834. They ask us to join them for delicious food and good cheer as we celebrate this festive time of year. They also want us to learn about their winter move-in specials. We are also praying for our friends who are presently hospitalized, including Marianne (Strunka) Boncela, who we hope will soon be home recuperating with her family. There are so many of our friends who have incurred various injuries while falling down stairs. I sug-

gest you carry a whistle to alert your neighbors of a problem. When you are forced to scream for several hours, you can injure your vocal chords. So, I caution you, hold on to the railing, always. As we seniors age, we realize that we are confronted by so many problems, such as not having a working telephone at home. And it takes several days for the telephone company to respond, plus the street and alley lights are covered by tree branches or are not lit at all. Then the old branches and leaves fall all over, creating sliding hazards. This month, we will be saying farewell and wishing the best to Sandy Schade, who has been a helper to the senior citizens in Ald. Marty Quinn’s office. We are sad to see her retire, but know she must take care of herself as she has taken care of us. We pray that her life is healthy and happy in the future. Keep in touch. Let us whisper a prayer for all of our devoted service men and women and all of the American Legion members who keep the organizations alive and well.

Summit Library Holds Food Drive Non-perishable food items are being accepted for the annual Holiday Food Drive through Friday, Dec. 16 at the Summit Library, 6233 S. Archer Road. Library patrons will receive coupons for library services for donated items. Donations will be accepted at the front desk. For more information, contact the library at (708) 458-1545.

Blagojevich Gets 14 Years Ray Hanania Southwest News-Herald Columnist

Time To Clean Up MWRD’s Political Filter For far too long, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Great Chicago has been a reservoir for retired, do-nothing government officials who were rewarded with spots on the board in return for their party loyalties. Or, it has been a place where ambitious candidates with political clout have tried to launch their power dynasties. The fact is the MWRD-GC board is unaccountable and a cesspool of wasted taxpayer dollars. It is a do-nothing board that has spent most of its time spending money lavishly on itself and its members. They have huge salaries, yet their impact on our lives has been so un-impactful. Their primary responsibility is the management of flood water and they do a very poor job of doing that. But they do a great job of blaming everyone else. The do-nothing chairman of the board Terrence O’Brien spent money on himself like there was no tomorrow, buying very expensive lunches and having a blast. He’s retiring after trying to turn the retirement home into a steppingstone to higher office. Fortunately for the voters, O’Brien lost and lost big time in his bid for the Cook County Board presidency. I can only imagine how much taxes would have increased and how much less the county board would do for its citizens if O’Brien had become its president. Seven candidates have announced their intention to run for three spots on the board in the Democratic primary election next spring. It includes a slate of three candidates who have announced their intention to take over the do-nothing board. They are led by Patrick Daley Thomas, a nephew of retired Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. He is the 42-year-old grandson of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley. His mother is Patricia Daley Martino. I don’t know him and neither do most Chicagoans. He lives in the Bridgeport home of his grandfather. Unlike the rest of the Daley clan, including the now retired mayor who moved out to better and more lucrative pastures, Thompson stayed in Bridgeport. He reflects the neighborhood loyalty that so many other successful politicians so quickly forget. You can be certain Thomas is going to be elected and will become the board’s new president. It might be foolish to hope he can be persuaded to make the board more responsible or to tighten the lavish spending set by the board’s predecessors. Or to have the agency respond to flooding in a truly imaginative way, rather than through the old ways of “donothing until you have to” that is the board’s working motto. They need to clean out the upper echelons of the agency and get new PR people, although maybe the new executive director deserves a chance since taking the reins from the other guy, who was worthless. One other candidate out there deserves note: Patricia Young. She served on the board years ago and later worked as its public affairs director. She was up against a lot of clouted uselessness — who ever heard of a press release being issued by the board’s press contractors? Never! Young quit but has filed for the board. I hope she wins. I also hope that Thompson doesn’t follow the same old same old of the board. Turn the useless agency into something that does some good. That would be a great way to make a name for yourself, young Daley-Thompson! (Ray Hanania hosts Radio Chicagoland every Sunday from 8 to 11 a.m. on WSBC AM 1240 radio.

Topinka, Lisa Madigan and Jesse White Comment on Verdict Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka on Wednesday released the following statement in response to U.S. District Judge James Zagel sentencing former Gov. Rod Blagojevich to 14 years incarceration: “With his ruling today, Judge Zagel has ensured that the Rod Blagojevich years will end as they should: with the former governor’s incarceration. “To be clear, I take no joy in seeing any father taken from his children and family for an extended period of time,” continued Topinka, who lost to Blagojevich for governor. “And yet there is no question in my mind that it is the right decision given the extraordinary damage Blagojevich caused our state, and the importance of sending a clear and unmistakable message that corruption will not be tolerated in our government. “Rod Blagojevich ran as a reformer and proved to be worse than anything that came before him. His reckless and self-serving handling of state finances has put Illinois billions of dollars in the hole, and ensured that it will operate at a deficit for years to come. “His rampant corruption in mixing money, politics and government service undermined our system and further jaded an already-cynical public. “And his refusal to accept any responsibility for his actions, while mocking his prosecution in his many media interviews, once again made Illinois and its government a national joke. “The former governor will now have plenty of time to consider his performance over these years, and quietly assess the consequences of his actions. “It may seem like an eternity to him, but in truth, the damage he has caused to our state will far outlast any prison sentence he will serve.” Among other officials commenting about the Blagojevich sentencing was Cong. Judy Biggert (R-13th). “The former governor left behind a legacy of disgrace and dysfunction, and his sentencing represents justice for the people whose trust he abused.

“Illinois deserves better, and I hope that our new leaders in Springfield take this episode as a reminder that no one is above the law. “It’s time to close this sad chapter for our state, and get back to doing the work of the people.” Also commenting about the Blagojevich sentencing was Attorney General Lisa Madigan, who has been rumored to be a future candidate for governor. “Based on his convictions — for numerous crimes he was caught on tape committing during just one six-week period — Blagojevich deserves a lengthy prison sentence,” said Madigan. “Unfortunately, though, it cannot

fix the damage he inflicted on our state over his six years as governor. “Blagojevich became governor by promising ethical reform, but from the start, he relentlessly used his position to pursue illegal and morally bankrupt schemes motivated by power and greed. “His conduct was disgraceful, and the cost to the state has been devastating. “Blagojevich refused to govern responsibly and, instead, put Illinois up for sale. “He tarnished the state’s reputation nationally and internationally, and he destroyed the public’s trust in government. “May (Wednesday’s) sentence put an end to cor-

ruption in the Illinois’ governor’s office.” Also commenting was Secretary of State Jesse White. “I want to commend Judge James Zagel on his firm but just sentence of former governor Rod Blagojevich. Hopefully, this sends a strong message that unethical conduct is unacceptable. “Blagojevich’s actions were particularly offensive given that he talked about reforming government in the wake of the scandals that had plagued the Secretary of State’s office during the years of George Ryan. “The people of Illinois deserve better.”

POLICE REPORTS Allegedly Interferes With Police Arrest Kevin Pough, 19, of 1868 S. Kildare Ave., was taken into custody for allegedly interfering with an arrest at about 9:10 p.m. Dec. 5. While driving on Cicero Avenue, police said that they noticed Pough change lanes without using the proper turn signal. Police said that they then activated their lights and sirens to curb the vehicle. But Pough, said police, failed to stop and instead increased his speed, swerving across all lanes of traffic. Pough then reportedly stopped on the 4100 block of South Cicero Avenue, but failed to produce a driver’s license. Police said that they instructed Pough to exit his vehicle, but he refused. When police attempted to arrest Pough, he pulled away in an aggressive manner and swung his arms, according to reports. Police said that they then shot a taser in order to calm Pough down and arrest him.

Weapon Thrown into Yard A 16-year-old male was taken into custody for allegedly being in possession of a handgun at about 4:45 p.m. Monday. Police said that they observed the offender walking with several others who were constantly looking around and walking rapidly. As police continued to monitor the group, they said that they split into two sections. The offender continued to walk with the first group, police said. When police approached for a field interview, they said that the offender fled. As police followed the offender to the 6300 block of South Maplewood Avenue, they said that he threw a shiny object into a yard.

Pulaski Road, at about 4:40 a.m. Dec. 3. Police said that they arrived on scene and observed a physical altercation occurring inside of the restaurant in which Sklenar allegedly threw a cup at a victim, striking him in the right forehead. The victim told police that he and his girlfriend went to the restaurant to meet his brother to get the key to his house. The victim said that Ibarra then pushed him, near the washroom area. Obarra then allegedly took a metal object from his pocket and struck the victim across the face. Police said that this action caused the victim to fall to the ground, and Ibarra continued to strike him

Police approached to conduct a field interview and Payne reportedly told police that he did not know who the vehicle belonged to. Police then found out that Payne was the owner of the vehicle, reports state. As police were talking to Payne, they said that they observed a blue steel handgun between the driver’s side seat and the center console.

Allegedly Assaults Paramedics Patricia Jenkins, 31, of 6404 S. Lockwood Ave., was taken into custody for allegedly assaulting paramedics at about 10:05 p.m. Nov. 30.

Jenkins also complained to police that her husband had beaten her about the face, but police said that there were no visible injuries on Jenkins. While the ambulance escorted Jenkins to Holy Cross Hospital, police said that she was irate and combative. The paramedics told police that Jenkins threatened to kill them. Jenkins reportedly admitted to police that she took one line of heroin earlier in the day.

Victim Subdues His Attacker, Police Say A mixed martial arts expert from Des Plaines gave his alleged mugger a run for his money last Friday night. “Justin” told police that Anthony Miranda, a 24year-old felon, pointed a weapon at his chest while he was waiting for a friend to arrive in his parked car near 55th and Kenneth Avenue. When Miranda approached Justin, Justin was able to wrench away the pistol from Miranda’s hands, according to police. Police said that Miranda shot his own ankle during the struggle. Justin told police that Miranda originally approached him and asked if he could have a light for a cigarette. Justin then replied that he does not smoke. That is when Miranda pulled out a gun and shoved it against the side of Justin’s head, according to police. Reportedly, Justin was able to keep his attacker collared until the police

Deliverers Are Being Robbed In 8th, 9th Dists. Businesses operating in the 8th (Chicago Lawn) and 9th police districts (Deering) should be aware of recent armed robberies of fast food delivery drivers. Offenders place an “order” via a cell phone for food, but then delivery drivers are robbed by offenders upon arrival.

Restore Democracy To the People (This op-ed piece is by John Bonifaz, co-founder and director of Free Speech For People (www.freespeechforpeople.org), a national nonpartisan campaign working to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling and the corporate rights doctrine.) America is at a crossroads. Shall we be governed by people or by corporations? If you thought we had already answered that question more than two centuries ago, you’re right. The framers of our Constitution were clear that we were to be a government of, for and by the people. They recognized that corporations were not people and that the Constitution did not guarantee corporations rights intended for people. Yet, five justices of the current U.S. Supreme Court think otherwise. In their January 2010 Citizens United vs. FEC decision, they ruled that corporations have the same free-speech rights as people and can spend unlimited amounts of their corporate money in our elections. No matter that corporations are artificial entities created through state corporate charter laws. No matter that corporations do not breathe, do not think and do not have consciences. No matter that corporations have advantages you and I do not: limited liability, perpetual life and the ability to aggregate and distribute wealth. According to these five justices, corporations are people. This was not the first time the Supreme Court ruled this way. For the past 30 years, corporate America has worked to create a fabricated corporate-rights doctrine under the First Amendment that has eroded free-speech principles and undermined our self-government. While the notion of “corporate personhood” dates back to an 1886 ruling of the court, it is through this modern-day fabrication that we now face the threat of unchecked corporate power subverting our democracy. The Citizens United ruling is the most extreme extension of this corporate-rights doctrine, allowing corporations to invade our elections and effectively control their outcomes. But we can fight back. Article V of the Constitution sets forth the process by which the people can enact a constitutional amendment. We have done this before — 27 times in our nation’s history and 17 times since the original Bill of Rights. And seven of those amendments overturned egregious Supreme Court rulings. We can, and must, do this again. We must fight for a 28th Amendment – a People’s Rights Amendment — to make clear that corporations are not people, and that people, not corporations, govern. Recent polling we conducted with Peter Hart and Hart Research Associates confirms that this idea has broad support across the political spectrum. Overwhelming majorities of Americans, whatever their ideologies, oppose the Citizens United ruling and support a constitutional amendment to overturn it. In fact, a constitutional amendment is supported by 85 percent of independents, 87 percent of Democrats and even 68 percent of Republicans. As dangerous as the Citizens United ruling is, it also presents us with a historic opportunity to build a transpartisan movement that can unite America. If you think this isn’t possible, consider Doris Haddock. Otherwise known as “Granny D,” she decided, at 89, to walk across the country to overhaul our nation’s

True Holiday Spirit, With Some Kindness, Is in Us All By BRYAN GOLDEN

Among other things, the holidays are a time of giving and receiving gifts. The question most often asked of people is, “what did you get?” Much less frequently asked is, “what did you give?” Invariably, the inquiries concern material gifts. Purchasing a gift can certainly be thoughtful and a wonderful gesture, especially when it’s backed up by your actions. However, the most valuable presents are those that aren’t sold in stores. When you give your love, your time, help someone in need, aid another in solving a problem or overcoming an obstacle, you give something priceless. The true spirit of the holidays is giving. When you give, you receive. You can get anything in life you want by helping

enough others get what they want. But only if you give without expecting anything in return. The impact of giving isn’t limited to just the holiday season; it’s something that has value all year. The power of giving is often underestimated. When you give unconditionally, you don’t just impact the recipient; you start a chain reaction. By brightening the life of one person, you also affect all those who they then touch. No gesture of giving or kindness is too small. Holding the door open at a store, helping someone carry groceries to their car, letting another car in front of you, saying “please” and “thank you,” and saying “hello” to a stranger you pass on the sidewalk, are some of the many things you can do daily.

campaign-finance system. She set out from California, walking 10 miles a day. She had no grand plan as to how she would do it, where she would stay or what she would eat. But people nationwide housed her, fed her, walked with her for part of the way. Fourteen months and 3,200 miles later — turning 90 in the process — she reached Washington, D.C. On March 9, 2010, Doris “Granny D” Haddock died at the age of 100. When I heard the news, I thought about the fact that when she was born the Nineteenth Amendment, which guaranteed women the right to vote, had yet to be enacted. In her lifetime, Haddock saw nine amendments passed by the United States Congress and ratified by the states. She is an example that change can and does happen. In the name of Granny D, it is time to enact a 28th Amendment to the Constitution that restores democracy to the people.

For family and friends, your time is one of the most precious gifts you can offer. Are you there for others when they need you? Do you offer a hand without being asked? Do you help out when asked? Too often, people get caught up in their own desires, thus losing sight of the needs of others. A person who tries to get through life by looking out for himself or herself first is invariably frustrated. Often, this person views life as a competition to determine who can accumulate more. On the other hand, those who are concerned for the well being of others are happier, more content, and more satisfied. By giving without expecting, they in turn receive the things they need. Giving is a simple concept that works every time it is applied. There will be people who don’t appreciate what you do, but it doesn’t matter. You are giving without anticipating anything in return. Besides, there will be many more who are thankful for your efforts. If you don’t treat others well, buying a gift won’t compensate for your behavior. The recipient might like what you give them but it won’t make up for your actions. You can’t bribe someone to forgive the way you treat them with a present.

The best gift you can receive is the joy of making someone else happy. Being unselfish is a wonderful way to live. When you give with no ulterior motives, your actions are seen as genuine. Should you expect something in return, your behavior is always suspect. We all know people who do nice things only when they want something in return. Make giving a daily routine. Don’t start and end with the holiday season. Every day is a good day to do something nice. When people feel good due to your actions, you can’t help but feel happy yourself. And that is priceless. The most significant action you can take is having a positive impact on the lives of others. (Bryan Golden is the author of Dare to Live Without Limits.

babies at the hospital. On Sept. 30, five volunteers from Little Company of Mary Hospital participated in Baby TALK’s Newborn Encounter Training. The LCM volunteers learned all about newborn capabilities and milestones and how to use this knowledge to capture the engagement of parents in observing their newborn. The objective of the program is to help parents learn and discover how to interact with their newborn baby, learn about the needs of the family, affirm the parents in their role with their child, and offer resources and referrals to the family as they raise their baby. The hospital hosted Baby TALK Professional Association’s 2nd Annual Chicago Conference on Oct. 28. Baby TALK trained professionals from the greater Chicago area met to celebrate Baby TALK 25th Anniversary. Little Company of Mary’s Carol Martinez, manager for Volunteer Resources, and Cheryl Chemers, Maternal/Child Nurse Educator, both Certified Baby TALK Practitioners, welcomed Claudia Quigg, founder of Baby TALK to the Evergreen Park hospital. Quigg expressed how appropriate it was to have Baby TALK celebrate its 25th anniversary at a hospital, since the organization started in a hospital setting visiting new families in Decatur.

It may be gray and cold outside, but this soup can add color and warmth to the season. It features mini pasta and a medley of vegetables all enhanced by pesto. It’s satisfying and healthy. The combination of basil and spinach gives the pesto an understated, but distinct taste. It’s similar to a paste the ancient Romans prepared using cheese, garlic and herbs. The more recent version is said to have originated near the Italian city of Genoa and adds basil as a major ingredient. The addition of pesto maximizes the flavor of the soup, bringing together the hearty quality of the broth and soft onion taste of the leeks. The carrots add color and consistency. The cannellini beans, a variety of white beans popular in Italy, especially Tuscany, add protein and a dash of red pepper adds a bit of zest. Easy to prepare, the soup becomes a complete lunch or light dinner by adding a slice or two of crusty whole-wheat bread. Or, if you have any leftover baked chicken or turkey, you could make a sandwich to enjoy with the soup. Either will provide a nutritious meal with a healthy serving of vegetables and a good amount of fiber. So chase away the cold with something hot and colorful.

SOUP WITH PESTO—This Italian vegetable soup has orzo and pesto for a healthy alternative.

ITALIAN VEGETABLE SOUP WITH ORZO AND PESTO Pesto Ingredients:1 cup fresh baby spinach, packed 1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed 1/ cup pine nuts 4 1/ cup canned diced 2 tomatoes, drained (fresh may be substituted) 4 garlic cloves, peeled 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Soup: 2 leeks, white parts only, chopped (1 bunch of green onions may be substituted) 3 carrots, peeled and sliced thin 1 medium white potato, peeled and cubed 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth* 1 tsp. dried Italian seasoning 1/ cup orzo 2 1 cup green beans, cut into 1/2-inch slices (can

also use frozen cut) 1 (15-oz.) can no-salt added cannellini beans 1/ tsp. dried crushed 4 red pepper, or to taste 2 Tbsp. low-fat shredded Romano cheese (Parmesan cheese may be substituted) Puree all pesto ingredients in food processor. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Cover and refrigerate if made the day before. In large pot combine leeks, carrots, potato, broth and Italian seasoning. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until vegetables are almost tender, 8-10 minutes. Add orzo and boil uncovered until orzo is almost tender, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add green beans, cannellini and red pepper, cover and simmer 5-7 minutes. Ladle soup into 6 bowls. Divide pesto among servings and swirl in to blend.

Adopt-a-Soldier Program

My Kids Chose the Wrong Funeral Home

Marquette Bank Sends Holiday Packages to U.S. Military Staff at Marquette Banks recently completed Marquette’s 5th Annual Adopt-a-Soldier Program, in which the Bank sends care packages to troops stationed overseas during the holiday season. Throughout September and October, the Bank collected donations from customers, employees and neighbors to be included in the care packages. More than 65 large care packages were assembled and shipped to Illinois soldiers overseas whose names were submitted by customers, neighbors and employees of the Bank. “Our Adopt-a-Soldier Program is our way of showing support for the troops and brightening up their holidays,” said Georgeanne Kruger, assistant vice president. “We thought it was especially important that care packages be sent to Illinois soldiers stationed in Afghanistan since they will likely not be coming home this December.” Packages were prepared by Marquette Bank em-

ployees and included snacks, personal hygiene products, DVDs, games and other items not readily available in combat zones. Items were donated by customers, neighbors and employees and collected at all 24 Marquette Bank locations. Each care package contained a handmade

holiday wreath made and donated by Tinley Park resident Nancy Hall. The care packages also included handwritten cards from local students. Kathleen Adamski from Eberhart Elementary School, 3400 W. 65th Place, Chicago, asked their students to write the cards, thanking the sol-

When my wife died I thought we’d have the funeral at Central Chapel. It’s the closest funeral home to where we live and most of our neighbors go there. My children thought we should go to one of those large funeral parlors out of the neighborhood. It really turned out badly. Our family was large to begin with but there were 2 other wakes going on at the same time. We were jammed in a small room, shared the same coffee room with the other families, when the priest did the wake service he couldn’t be heard over the noise in the other chapels, and the parking lot was a nightmare. My children meant well, but it was a mistake. We should have gone to Central.

The event, “Doing Business with the Federal Government,” will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, Dec. 12 at the American Legion Hall in Summit, 6050 S.

compete, grow, and create the jobs we need. “In October, I held a Jobs Fair that brought together dozens of employers and hundreds of job seekers, and since then I’ve heard from a number of people who obtained jobs as a result. “This event is another way that I’m working to promote job growth and economic opportunity for my constituents.” Businesses may meet directly with representatives from a variety of federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Commerce (Economic Development Administration, International Trade Administration, and CommerceConnect), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, General Services Administration, Small Business Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Agency for International Development, and others.

Southwest Sports MVCC Men’s Cross Country Review

Terrific Feats...Almost... Happened for 2011 Team

COLLEGE AWAITS—De La Salle varsity head baseball coach Nick Bridich flanks Anthony Shimkus (left) and Patrick Haynes, who recently signed to continue their baseball careers at Division I colleges.

2 DLS Players Sign on With Div. I Colleges

The Moraine Valley Community College men’s cross country season can be characterized by a hyphenated word: near-miss. They missed winning the conference title by seven points and a place in the

“On paper we have everything we need. But talent is just on paper. Good teams win championships.” Nine returning players aim to improve on last year’s performance, starting with 2010 All-Conference duo Jessica Contant (Stagg) and Kim Young (Argo). Contant is one of the team’s best pure scoring options, and Young broke the single game record last year for 3-point shots, and — along with 5’8 guard Tempestt Reynolds — is a “3-point assassin,” Jones said. At 6’1, Raven Phillips is the fastest, most athletic post player on the team. Then there’s 5’11 power forward Shekela Quarles (Richards), a fast and athletic player full of energy. Power forward Jasmin Harris (Stagg/5’9) has an uncanny knack for scoring around the basket 10 to 15 feet out. Small power forward Becca Theriault may be

OLCHS Gridder Gets An Academic Honor Oak Lawn Community High School defensive lineman Mike Calandriello has been named to the Academic All-State team by the Illinois High School Association for 2011. Calandriello is also an all-conference selection in the South Suburban Conference Red. He finished the season with 50 tackles and eight sacks. “Mike is very deserving of this honor,” head coach Sean Lucas said. “He has worked very hard during his four years and we are very proud of what he has accomplished.”

“only” 5’10, but surprises players with her ability to block shots. Rounding out the returners are guards Natalina Cifaldi (5’11”) and Brittany Bixman (Stagg/5’5). Cifaldi sees and handles the ball well, and Bixman is the fastest MVCC player with the ball in hand. Adding to the mix of talent are nine newcomers, including centers Ashley Corner (6’3) and Val Zulevic (Mother McAuley/6’1); guards Loretta Burton (5’10), Shaneka Boyd (5’5), Kelly Foley (Oak Lawn/5’6), and Stephanie Karl (5’6); and forwards

Raynisha Dent (5’9) and Dena Hammad (Argo/5’9). The team is deep this season, and any one of these athletes could start. “There are two teams in the conference on paper that will forge a major challenge to us. But my expectations are to get back on the conference track by taking the championship back. I also expect us to make a lot of noise for the regional championship this time and kicking that door in,” Jones said.

CCAC Selection For Two Area Graduates

Teacher Peck At Richards Is No Turkey

Two local graduates were among five St. Xavier University volleyball players recently named to the 2011 AllChicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) Volleyball Team. Both Kelly Knudsen (Oak Lawn Community) and Desiree Aramburu (Mother McAuley) were named to the CCAC First Team. Both Knudsen and Aramburu are juniors for the Cougars, who finished the season 30-5 and advanced to the semifinals of the CCAC Tournament. Knudsen is an outside hitter, and Aramburu is a setter. Knudsen, who lives in the village of Oak Lawn, posted 358 kills this season to go along with 279 digs and a team-best 54 service aces. Aramburu, in addition to matching Knudsen’s 279 digs, recorded 802 set assists and 41 aces.

For the second straight year, Richards High School physical education teacher Bob Peck figured out a way to set a new record for the Orland Hills Turkey Trot 5K. Last year, he convinced 90 students, alumni and staff members to join him. This year, more than 130 accepted the challenge. In 2009, the first time Peck organized a pack of Bulldogs to run the race, about 50 students and staff members participated. Peck recruits students in his Cardio and Strength Conditioning classes to build their endurance during the first part of the school year, then run the Turkey Trot.

season at the helm. “When the guys reflect on what might have been, they should reflect even more on what they accomplished. “There were solid performances and post-season honors. We showed improvement from a year ago.” Sophomore Jon Altman led the charge, attaining All-Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference honors for the second straight year and nailing down a spot in the NJCAA Cross Country Championship in N.M., on Nov. 12. He also was a member of the Cyclones 2010 Academic All-American team. Another sophomore finishing his career at Moraine Valley is Luke Bronson, a two-time AllConference selection and a national qualifier last year. He just missed qualifying this year. He also earned a spot on Moraine Valley’s All-Academic team. Also concluding his Cyclone career is Felipe Rivera. Freshmen also were contributors this season, starting with Adam Gurke (Reavis), who qualified for the national championship and ran in the top seven all year despite having chronic knee pain. Phil Culbertson (Stagg) will be counted on heavily next year after gaining a lot of experience this past season. Mohamed Assadalla, who never competed in cross country until he joined the team this year, is also is expected to help out next fall. Adam Tyrka (also a Reavis grad) was the third member of the Cyclones’ All-Conference contingent who also will be expected to help next year. Rich Gray (another Stagg graduate) had to deal with a lot of health issues, but came on strong at the end of the season and knows what he has to do in the off-season to come into the new year ready to run.

thoughts in verse

The Skater In The Snow Globe As you gaze upon the snow globe in your hands You will see a young skater named Gia in a white angelic-like costume. The dramatic night-sky boasts a celestial design With the twinkling stars casting their magic over the ice. As you wind the music box you will be transported to a land of wonder. The strains of violins playing “O Holy Night” drift through the air. And the skater named Gia glides in exultation over the sparkling ice. Her arms extended to the heavens to pay homage to our Creator. Her young body spinning as if she has wings For it is the night of the birth of Baby Jesus It is a Holy Night It is a night of wonderment (Dedicated to Gia Swanson on her 9th birthday, Dec. 16.) —Marlene Jeziorski Oak Lawn

Christmas in Iraq Now wouldn’t it be just wonderful if our troops aren’t back they could celebrate the holidays with Christmas in Iraq. We’d get a giant Christmas tree like they do downtown each year on Michigan Avenue decorate it all around. We’ll place an Angel on the top with branches all aglow Carolers to sing Christmas songs loaded with mistletoe. Have presents down at the bottom for all the GIs there from of all their folks back home a token that we care. With a nice big Christmas dinner all set up in a row and after they get through eating put on a Christmas show. Now if we can’t have them with us during these holidays they'll know we’re thinking of them in many different ways. I am going to send out an e-mail to our president today and I’ll ask him if this is possible to see what he will say. Cleatus “Cherokee Lee” Murdaugh Gage Park Chicago (The Thoughts In Verse column is accepting and encourages poetry depicting the holiday season.

A PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never known to fail.)

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3x). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3x). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light of all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in Eternal Glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days, the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted. M.K.

COAT DRIVE—Fourth-grade students at St. Rene Elementary School, 6340 S. New England Ave., are holding an annual winter coat drive for the local St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Toys for Tots continued from page 1

The parade draws crowds from across the state and is held every year on the first Sunday in December. One organization that takes part in the parade is Rescue Riders. Rescue Riders formed a few years ago in order to give bikers first-aid training in the event that an accident occurs or someone gets hurt during the parade. Laurie Westberg-Martin is a trained paramedic and firefighter who is part of Rescue Riders. Her training has given her an opportunity to teach bikers life-saving techniques in order to keep everyone safe and free of danger. “This is a wonderful event that touches the lives of so many who are involved,” Westberg-Martin said. “Every year, we have a chance to bless the lives of children who are less fortunate and deserve to have a wonderful Christmas.” Combined, she has rode nearly 40,000 miles in Toys for Tots across the country. “Since joining Rescue Riders, I have never been happier in my life,” Westberg-Martin said. “It has given me a love for life, and has taught me the true meaning of being happy.” We s t b e r g - M a r t i n brought a few toys to show her support for the children, a video game and a doodle board. Kevin Murphy is also one of the founders of Rescue Riders. He joined after a dear friend of his, Dean Akey, was injured in a Toys for Tots parade and left on the side of the road because those around him had not been trained on how to handle such an emergency. “This is always a great time and great event for anyone taking part,” Murphy said. “As Rescue Riders, we have a firsthand role in training bikers on how to save a life if an accident occurs.” Murphy has also com-

pleted the Toys for Tots parade in Maui, Hawaii. Lineup began at 6 a.m. Sunday at the Dan Ryan Woods. The first tier of riders hit the streets at 9:30 a.m. as onlookers cheered for them. Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer led the parade and were first to hit the street riding in a decorated carriage, pulled by none other than a motorcycle. Motorcycles could be seen for miles down the road, some strapped with toys directly behind the drivers as they rode off down Western Avenue. This year, motorcyclists rode in honor of departed members of the Toys for Tots organization, as well as the former first lady of Chicago, Maggie Daley. Toys for Tots was started by Vietnam War Veteran Edward Wisniewski on Dec. 13, 1978. Then, Wisniewski and a group of friends braced Chicago’s cold weather and a few technical problems before delivering toys for needy children at the Glenview Naval Air Station. Fortunately, this year, the weather cooperated with light rain holding off most of the morning. The parade was completed in time for participants to watch the Bears heartbreaking loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Aldermen continued from page 1

Currently, 19 of the council’s 50 wards are black, 10 are Hispanic, 20 are white and one is Asian. Forty-one of 50 aldermen have to approve the map or the city will have to hold a referendum. Communities that don’t like the outcome of that could still go to federal court. The last map was redrawn in 2000. Ald. Michael Zalewski (23rd) said that his ward is “unique,” being “land-

The winter coat drive began six years ago when Monica Wojcik and Ally Maisenbach asked their teacher if they could collect coats for needy area families. Melissa Wojcik, current fourth-grader and the sister of Monica, St. Rene Class of 2011, continued the tradition by initiating the coat drive this year. So far the students have collected more than 50 children’s coats and more than 25 adult coats and various cold weather accessories that will be distributed to needy families in the immediate area. Surplus coats will be donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. For more information about St. Rene School, visit www.strenegoupilchicago, follow the school on Facebook, or call the Marketing Office at (773) 586-7385. locked on three sides.” “We have Bedford Park, Summit and Forest View,” said Zalewski. “Communities like to be kept together.” Zalewski stated that each alderman is “fighting for their turf” because they want to keep their communities together. According to the current proposal, the 23rd Ward will have between 53,000 and 55,000 people. The next city council meeting is on Wednesday, Dec. 14.

The classrooms of St. Turibius had a blessing of their Advent wreaths. Each student is getting ready for the season with lessons and classroom Advent practices. Ms. Malabarba, the social studies teacher, hosted the school’s annual Geography Bee on Nov. 30. Two students from each grade, fourth through eighth, competed. I will let you know the results. About 45 seniors attended the St. Bruno Senior Citizen Christmas party on Dec. 1. I thank Aunty Polly for giving me a lift there. I enjoyed sitting at our table along with Mrs. Siedliecki and meeting Jean and Betty. The party was quite fun and there was enjoyable music. Special thanks to the waitress at the European Chalet. Not only did she wait the tables but she provided some of the entertainment when singing the Polish Christmas carols. Everyone is welcome to sing and pray to “Our Lady of Guadalupe” at St. Bruno. On Sunday, Dec. 11, there will be a Spanish Mass at 2:30 p.m., a “Remember Advent Mission.” At 5 a.m. Monday, Dec. 12 will be

The program also ensures that precinct commanders remain aware of crime and quality of life conditions within their areas of responsibility. Precinct and other operational unit commanders use this forum to communicate with the agency’s top executives and other commanders, sharing the problems they face and successful crime reduction tactics. The process allows top executives to monitor issues and activities within precincts and operational units, evaluating the skills and effectiveness of middle managers. Emanuel stated that if there’s a weekend incident that might bleed over into the school building, principals will know about it. If a fight breaks out in school that might cause a problem on the way home or at a nearby school, police will know, and officers will be reassigned accordingly, according to Emanuel. The program will start Tuesday, Dec. 13.

Mañanitas, with the day ending after 7 p.m. with the “Traditional Rose’s Mass.” The Guadalupana group will have a food sale and raffles at St. Bruno’s gym. They invite everyone to come and enjoy with them. Not being Mexican, I hope I got all that information written down correctly. I spent several minutes on the Internet learning about the feast of “Our Lady of Guadalupe.” Mañanitas are traditional Mexican songs that people sing early in the morning on birthdays and other special days. Traditionally this song is sung to Our Lady of Guadalupe on her feast day either at midnight or the break of dawn to greet her on this day. You may start the day with a family serenade to Our Lady, who reportedly appeared in 1531 to Juan Diego, a poor Indian.

I thought it was impossible in the Daley era in Chicago to obtain or renew a liquor license when an establishment closes, but there is such a place in the neighborhood. I’ve been spending the past several weekend evenings at The Old Lawndale Tap. Problem is, there is no tap beer. But there are two very nice bartenders, Kristina and Melissa. Thank you both. Today (Friday, Dec. 9), I will be cashing in on my birthday present and attending an Alice Cooper concert in Indiana. He is by far my favorite artist, and I have been to almost every one of his shows since April 1, 1975 at the Chicago Stadium. Speaking his name brings back great memories with my deceased friend, Debbie Amato. She will be in my thoughts throughout the whole concert. And how about those Bears? I could swear someone in that organization was paid off to blow that game to Kansas City. Denver will be tough this week, but let’s hope our team shines.

Post Office Problems continued from page 1

The mail processing network itself was constructed to process and deliver First-Class Mail within a 1 to 3 day window depending on where the mail is sent and delivered.

First Place Is Won by Cadets AtOn Hubbard HS Dec. 3, the cadets of Hubbard High School drill team entered the Simeon Career Academy drill meet and won first place among all Army schools that entered. Hubbard competed against Chicago Military Academy, Taft, Lane Tech, Foreman and Chicago Vocational Career Academy High School. Hubbard Cadets earned three first-place awards, two second-place awards and one fourth-place award before taking first in the overall competition. Competing in the competition for Hubbard were Emmanuel Cherry, Diana Aranda, Jonathon Pimentel, Estephany Tapia, Roberto Valazquez and O’Brian Hill. “The cadets worked hard and moved with purpose,” said coach Ltc. John Wargo. “This was an excellent experience and exercise for the city championships.”

With the proposed change, the new service standard would become 2 to 3 days, meaning that, on average, customers would no longer receive mail the day after it was mailed. If implemented, the change in service standards would allow for significant infrastructure changes to be made across the nation. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations. While some post office closings will occur, no reductions are imminent for the Southwest Side at this time, according to U.S. Post Office officials.

Basics Completed By Graduate of Bogan Air Force Airman Arieon Clayton recently graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. Clayton, a 2009 graduate of Bogan, is the grandson of General Saulsberry of Chicago’s Ashburn neighborhood. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills.
