D-99 officials: Too early to know local effect of pension reformBy ED MCMENAMIN
WOODRIDGE – School offi-cials say it’s too early to knowhow the massive pension re-form law signed Thursdaywill affect local districts.
Community School Dis-trict 99 Superintendent MarkMcDonald said lawmakersfloated so many differentideas regarding pension re-form in the last several years,it’s hard to gauge what madeit into the 300-plus page law.
“I haven’t had any sort ofcommunication with majorprofessional organizations
to explain [the changes],” hesaid. “A lot of us are lookingfor that.”
McDonald did express re-lief that the law does not shiftthe cost of pensions fromthe state to the local schooldistricts.
“That’s something wewere concerned about here,and many other school dis-tricts were as well,” he said.“Whether that’s still comingdown the pipe, I don’t know.”
Both the Illinois House andSenate narrowly approved thebill Dec. 3, which is intendedto fix the state’s pension cri-sis by providing $160 billion
in savings during the next 30years. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinnsigned it into law Thursday.
It aims to guarantee fullfunding of the state’s pensionsystems by 2044, according tothe Illinois Senate Democrats’website.
“This landmark legislationis a bipartisan solution thatsquarely addresses the mostdifficult fiscal issue Illinoishas ever confronted,” Quinnsaid in a statement.
Opponents of the law, in-cluding labor unions, said thedeal punishes workers whopaid into the pension systemfor years, but will now suffer
because of the state’s failureto make payments and othermismanagement.
Some Republicans said thecuts were not deep enough.Labor unions have said theywill challenge the law’s con-stitutionality.
“The bottom line is the[teachers] have consistentlycontributed their portion tothe TRS pension fund,” saidLois Graham, president of theEducation Association for Dis-trict 99. “The State of Illinoisdid not.”
The House voted 62 to 53 forthe plan. The Senate approvedthe bill 30 to 24.
It affects workers in fourof five different state pensionfunds – state workers, publicuniversity employees, most ofthe public school teachers inIllinois outside of Chicago andthe general assembly. Judge’spensions are not affected by
the new law.Illinois lawmakers failed
for years to take action to fixwhat is considered the worstpublic pension problem in thenation. The massive under-funded liability has causedcredit rating agencies to down-grade Illinois’ rating.
The law raises the retire-ment age for current workers45 and younger, on a slidingscale, and also cuts back the 3percent cost of living increas-es to only be applied to certainbenefits. Workers will contrib-ute 1 percent less to the plan.
School District 99 BoardPresident Nancy Kupka saidthe district will need to spendthe coming weeks studying thelaw before it understands thelocal impact.
“It is something we will betalking about with our admin-istration and our board,” shesaid.

Toy Express lets needy parents pick out toys for kidsBy ED MCMENAMIN – [email protected]
Once someone volunteerswith Toy Express and seesthe joy it brings to hundredsof families in the westernsuburbs, it’s hard for them tostay away.
Chris Bokhart of DownersGrove first volunteered about16 years ago when his son’sEagle Scout project workedwith the organization. He’sbeen back every year since,growing his involvement.
“It pulled my heart stringsso much that a small group ofpeople could do so much for alarge population in the areasthat we live,” he said.
In 2000, he incorporatedthe grassroots organization,originally founded by PatRynne and Naomi Little, asan official nonprofit.
“Every year you walkaway with a family that justtouches your heart – we’retalking a special moment,”he said. “You get to that mo-ment every year, and youknow it was all worth it.”
This year, Toy Expresshopes to help between 800 and1,000 families that have anaverage of two or three chil-dren each. Each child will re-ceive three toys, a book and astuffed animal.
“It helps the families, soinstead of spending mon-ey on toys for gifts they canspend money on things likefood and basic services,” hesaid.
One of the things thatmakes Toy Express unique isit sets up a storefront everyyear, and parents get to pickout the items they will give totheir children.
“The fact that the parentgets to pick the toys out, theyhave a little bit more pride init,” he said.
Toy Express sets up wher-ever they can find a donatedstorefront each year. Thisyear, the shop is set up inthe Chestnut Court ShoppingCenter in Suite 152 at 75thStreet and Lemont Road.
E v e r y t o y , b o o k a n dstuffed animal is donated tocollection sites at fire sta-
tions and other drop points.Bokhart said it takes be-
tween 50 and 75 volunteers to
run the entire operation, in-cluding a dedicated group ofabout 20 individuals.
Original founders NaomiLittle and Pat Rynne haveboth died in recent years.Rynne’s daughter Kel l iRynne, 25, has begun takinga larger role in the organi-zation she helped her momwith since childhood.
“Every year it grows andgrows,” she said. “It startedout in a basement. It’s reallynice to see her legacy grow.”
She said there is still aneed for more donations andvolunteers this year.
To volunteer, donate orsign up for services, call 630-963-1147. Eligible familiesneed to provide proof of pub-lic aid to receive items.
How to help
Donations are collected locallyat Lisle-Woodridge Fire Districtstations in Lisle at 1005 School St.,2505 Green Trails Drive and 2005Warrenville Road; and in Wo-odridge at 7393 Woodridge Driveand 3101 Woodridge Drive.

Woodridge residents David Burton and his wife Carole perform acous-tic covers during a recent performance. Burton, who performs underthe name “David’s Bazaar,” invites hiswife up on the stage on occasion.
Woodridge accountantspends nights asmusical act
By KRISTIN [email protected]
WOODRIDGE – Nothingcompares to playing music forWoodridge’s David Burton.
The 50-year-old has morethan 200 songs on his masterset list and about 34 years ofperforming under his belt.He is now a one-man acous-tic show dubbed “David’s Ba-zaar.”
“[Performing] certainlyhasn’t paid many bills but it’sfun,” Burton said. “It’s ther-apy for me and a lot of otherpeople.”
Now, as the owner of hisown accounting practice, Bur-ton plays on average aboutone show a week throughoutthe suburbs.
“I find that since I don’tplay original music, I don’thave these huge aspirations ofstardom,” the solo artist said.“I enjoy what I do. As long asI can get up there and have alittle fun, I’m happy.”
Although he spent mostof his career in rock bands,Burton said the demand forsolo acoustic players is muchhigher.
“It’s relatively new forme,” said Burton, who’s beena solo act for four years. “Butit’s certainly something that’sbeen a natural transition.”
The title David’s Bazaarcame about after an audiencemember commented on Bur-ton’s variety of songs, he said.He said his master set listranges from artists such asWillie Nelson to Slipknot.
“It’s just a matter of figur-ing out what that particular
audience might like to hearand going from there,” he said.
Burton, who’s first instru-ment was the banjo at age 11,said he’s played all over Wo-odridge, including the localShanahan’s, Suparossa andTitled Kilt.
“I like the opportunity toexpose my audience to songsthey might not know,” Bur-ton said. “That’s what I reallyenjoy... As a non-songwriterthat’s about as close as I’llget.”
While being a husband,father, accountant and mu-sician takes up the majorityof his time, Burton’s found away to keep his show freshwith guest appearances.
“When my wife joins me onstage, it keeps it from gettingmundane,” he said. “Caroleis also a longtime musician[with the] harmonic, beautifulharmonies and piano.”

BOTTLEDWATER AND FLUORIDEQ: Am I getting adequate fluoride protection formy teeth if I’m drinking bottled water?
A: You and a lot of other people are drinkingwater from bottles, rather than from the tap.However, according to the federal Centers forDisease Control, “bottled water may not have asufficient amount of fluoride, which is importantfor preventing tooth decay and promoting oralhealth.” Some bottled waters contain fluorideand some do not. The U.S. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) recently announced that itwill allow bottlers to claim that fluoridated watermay reduce the risk of tooth decay. Delta Dentaland the American Dental Association supportthe FDA’s decision. The FDA, however, doesnot require bottlers to list the fluoride contenton labels.
About two-thirds of the U.S. population thatrelies on public water systems drink fluoridatedwater from the tap. Many types of toothpastealso include fluoride. Fluoride at optimal levelshelps prevent tooth decay. All ground and surfacewater contains some naturally occurring fluoride.The ADA has supported efforts to add fluorideto drinking supplies when necessary to raisethe parts-per-million to at least 0.7. If you area bottled water drinker, check the label on thebottle. If fluoride content is not listed, you canget the information by contacting the bottler.Talk with your dentist about your water-drinkingpractices and ask him if you’re getting enoughfluoride.

When listening to radionews in the suburbs, the leadstories often revolve aroundthe city of Chicago.
However, a station that justmoved to Wheaton is hopingto change the conversation toDuPage County.
AM 1530 WCKG recentlyopened a studio near down-town Wheaton as part of itseffort to cover local communi-ties.
“I’ve lived and worked outhere my whole life,” said sta-tion general manager MattDubiel. “And on the news at10, it’s all about what RahmEmanuel did, even thoughRahm Emanuel doesn’t have

8OUR VIEW
If the pension reform law passed Dec. 3by the Illinois General Assembly and signedDec. 5 by Gov. Pat Quinn was a first step in aseries of reform measures still to come, we’dhail it as a small victory for taxpayers andthe state.
Unfortunately, we fear that in the mindsof Quinn, Speaker Michael Madigan andSenate President John Cullerton, last week’sreform effort is the only step, which it can-not be if Illinois is to right its fiscal ship.
With a $100 billion shortfall, Illinois hasthe worst-funded public pen-sion systems in the country.For years, lawmakers failed toaddress the issue as the unfund-ed liability grew and ratingsagencies repeatedly downgradedthe state’s credit, which now isthe lowest of all 50 states.
Senate Bill 1, which passed bythe slimmest of margins in boththe House and the Senate, doesbegin to address some of theproblems.
It changes the cost-of-living adjustmentsthat retirees receive every year. Currently,retirees receive a compounded, 3-percentincrease each year on almost their fullpension. Under the bill passed this week,retirees will receive COLAs on only a part oftheir benefit, and the COLAs will be skippedsome years for new retirees. This is the law’sbiggest accomplishment.
The legislation slightly raises the re-tirement age for employees who are 45 andyounger on a sliding scale. While this is apositive step, it doesn’t go far enough. Manypublic employees are able to retire in their50s with full pension benefits. As Americanslive longer, those benefits get more and moreexpensive.
The law also places a cap on the amountof salary on which a pension can be based.
In 2013, the cap is about $110,000. A cap wasnecessary and this is a positive step, but itshould be lower.
In an effort to fight off a constitutionalchallenge, which certainly is coming, publicemployees will contribute 1 percent less totheir retirement benefits than they do now.We think public employees should contrib-ute more to their own retirements, not less.
Like many of the lawmakers who votedagainst this legislation, we also question thesavings that proponents say it will bring.
Madigan, Quinn and Cullertonsay it will save $160 billionover the next 30 years. But thenonpartisan Commission onGovernment Forecasting andAccountability was not given achance to analyze the bill. Andthe $160 billion figure is basedon an 8 percent annual return onthe pension funds’ investments,which is unrealistic.
Though Quinn won’t admit it,the vote all but guarantees that
the temporary income tax increase imposedon Illinois workers in 2011 will become per-manent. Or, worse, a push for a progressivetax will gain momentum. Either is a big lossfor taxpayers.
While lawmakers around the state willboast about the significance of the reformand think their job is done, the reality is thatlawmakers did little to help right the state’sfinancial ship.
If they were truly determined to solvethe problem, they would have held the votebefore Dec. 3 – the day after the current cropof lawmakers found out who they would befacing in the March primary. They wouldmake it clear more reform is in the pipeline,and make difficult decisions that would easethe pension burden taxpayers continue toshoulder.
Pension reform legislationdoesn’t get the job done
For the record
While there are positive
elements to a pension
reform bill that passed the
General Assembly, it does
not go far enough to fix
the state’s failing pension
systems.
Downers Grove Township Highway Department maintainsmore than 70 miles of road within Downers Grove Township.
Some of these areas include the following subdivisions:Golfview Hills, Hinswood, Liberty Park, Timberlake, Tri State,DG Gardens, Bruce Lake, Farmingdale, Rose Hill, Pleasantdaleand Brookeridge.
Our crew is responsiblefor plowing and salting theseroads during the wintermonths. We have an ordi-nance with DuPage Countyregarding parking restric-tions on all streets during thewinter months when it snows one inch or more.
We would appreciate it if residents would keep all vehiclesoff the street whenever a snowfall is predicted so that we canuse our plowing/salting equipment more efficiently.
Please remember snowplow etiquette. Make sure you givethe trucks plenty of room, due to blind spots and safety. Witheveryone’s cooperation, we will provide the best job of snowand ice removal possible.
The township would also like to remind the homeownerthat IL State Statute 5/9-130 prohibits anyone from depositingsnow or ice upon the public highway. Doing this may cause anaccident and the homeowner will be held responsible.
Mailbox assessment: Please check your mailbox to make surethat it is in good shape.
In most cases mailboxes are knocked down by wet snowthrown off the edge of the snowplow. Rotten wood makes yourmailbox much more susceptible to damage from wet snow.
If your mailbox does get knocked down, the township willassess it on an individual basis and determine if the damagewas due to rotten wood or a strike from a snowplow. Mailboxesthat are struck by one of our snowplows will be repaired/re-placed with a 4x4 post and a standard mailbox by the highwaydepartment. The ones that are knocked down because of rottenwood are up to the homeowner to replace.
Christmas tree pickup: Downers Grove Township HighwayDepartment will pick up Christmas trees in the unincorporat-ed areas the first two weeks of the year.
Trees should be stripped of lights, ornaments and treestands and placed near the curb or ditch line for pick-up.
For information, go to www.dgtownship.com or call thehighway department office at 630-719-6625.

Police: Bellringer stole$1,000 in donations fromSalvation Army bucket
SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
NAPERVILLE – A Chica-go man is accused of stealingmore than $1,000 from a Sal-vation Army donation bucket.
Joe Horton, 52, of 6331 S.Justine in Chicago, faces acharge of misde-meanor theft forstealing $1,030in donationsfrom the buck-et, accordingto the DuPageCounty State’sAttorney. Hor-ton worked asa bellringer forthe Salvation Army outside aNaperville store.
He also faces a Class 4 fel-ony charge of identity theftfor allegedly attempting touse a credit card from a lostwallet he found outside thesame store, authorities said
in a news release.“The allegations against
Mr. Horton are completelyoutrageous,” state’s AttorneyRobert Berlin said. “The veryidea that someone would stealdonations meant for the lessfortunate is sickening, partic-ularly given the fact that weare in the heart of the holidayseason.
“I would like to thankmembers of the Naperville Po-lice Department for their finework and assistance in thiscase. I would also like to thankassistant state’s Attorney Ro-mas Mockaitis for his work aswell.”
Horton appeared in bondcourt Thursday morningwhere Judge Elizabeth Sextonset his bond at $40,000 with 10percent to apply.
His next court appearanceis scheduled Dec. 30 in front ofJudge George Bakalis.
Joe
Horton
Mad about MandelaGood riddance, Mandela. The
media played him up like somekind of international messiah.Fact is, he was sent to prisonfor criminal charges of posses-sion of a case of hand gre-nades. Let’s not forget WinnieMandela, whose organizationwould murder blacks if they somuch as said “good afternoon”to a police officer on the street.Fact – they would get hold ofthem, call them informants,put rubber tires around them,fill them with gas and set themon fire. I didn’t expect theliberal media to print the truthabout that. These things weredocumented, and many timesfilmed. Dig a little deeper,media.
Done with AdvancedDisposalAdvanced Disposal was put
in place as Darien’s garbage/recycling haulers less thantwo years ago. They haveraised the garbage sticker
price 50 percent so far in theirshort term. We had 10 bags ofleaves lined up for pick up withone sticker on the first bag,and they left a note that eachbag needs a sticker. If theythink we’re going to pay over$20 to have leaves picked up,forget it. With the 50 percentincrease and unreasonableadditional fees, AdvancedDisposal needs to go.
Against the sportscomplexLemont Mayor Brian Reaves
continues to press forwardtrying to build a sports com-plex in Lemont. He tried to getit through previously withoutany input from the residents.
He only gave us a 30-daynotice, but we exercised ourright and had enough signa-tures on a petition to forceit to go to referendum. As itstands today, he’s been tryingto secure private financingfor the sports complex andis unable to do so becausethe investors do not want toinvest in polluted land thatthe Village of Lemont does notown; the land is owned by thewater reclamation district. So,if the private investors haveno desire to invest in a $20million sports complex, whatgives him the right to burdenthe taxpayers with a $20million bond so if this thingfails it’s up to the taxpayersto bail it out? Bottom line,if he cannot secure privateinvestors for this $20 millionsports complex, why does hecontinue pressing on and stillwants it to bring it to refer-endum? The private investorsdon’t want it, and we don’twant it either.

DOWNERS GROVE – In2008, Downers Grove nativeNancy Gelband-O’Connorsaw a need for more galleryspace and opportunities forlocal artists, and decided to dosomething about it.
She organized her firstArtfest show that year, dis-playing work by about eightartists in her friend MeredithHarbour’s home.
“She and I wanted to givelocal artists an opportunityto have a venue and to havesome exposure,” she said. “Itwas an absolute success. Wecould barely contain the traf-fic, and I was so glad I didn’tstay in the bathroom thewhole show – I was going todie I was so nervous.”
In the following years, theevent slowly grew.
“It’s a little bit difficult forartists without a gallery to beseen,” she said. “They’re verytalented artists, just frustrat-ed with nowhere to go. Andthis is a place where we con-gregate.”
On Friday and Saturday,Artfest showcased work byabout 20 artists and crafts-men in a former store space at4949 Forest Ave. in DownersGrove, below the yoga studiowhere she and many of theother artists often exercise.
This is the first year theevent was in this new space.
This is also the first time she’stimed the show with the shop-ping season. It was previouslyhosted in the fall.
Other changes this yearalso reflected holiday-shop-ping season timing. Artistspresented their work on tabletops instead of on the walls.
Presenting the items ontables encouraged artiststo bring smaller items more
suitable for gift-giving, shesaid.
“We not only want to cre-ate ease and satisfaction forthe artists, but for the shop-
pers as well,” she said.Gelband-O’Connor has
been painting as long as shecan remember, she said, andcurrently has work in a Lin-coln Park store named For-tunate Discoveries, and onthe walls of Smokey TomatoCafe in Downers Grove. Mostof her work is still-life acryl-ic and water color paintings,but she also draws pastel baby
portraits by commission.Gelband-O’Connor said
her eventual goal is to find apermanent space where shecan have multiple Artfestshows a year, each with a dif-ferent focus.
“The creative process isnot something to keep in thecloset,” she said. “The cre-ative process is something toshare with others.”

“We just want to talk to peo-ple in the community. Everyperson that runs a business ora church or a club can cometalk about it and don’t have topay,” he said. “That’s the pointof a radio station.”
From there, Dubiel said, thestation hopes to expand to of-
fer shows featuring county andcommunity news, starting onthe weekends and during thelunch hour.
WCKG’s move to Wheaton,the county seat, reflects the sta-tion’s desire to entrench itselfin the area, he said.

DOWNERS GROVE – Aftera tornado destroyed MaureenFandel’s home in Washing-ton, Ill., she found many of herphotos just feet from whereshe kept them, but some in thesame collection landed morethan 100 miles away.
Six days after the storm,Westmont residents Keith andFab Reich were raking leaveswhen they came across a sin-gle photo in their front yard,and one in their backyard.
Keith Reich had heard ofdownstate items swept up bythe storm’s powerful windsfound in the Chicago area, sohe posted each picture on aFacebook page for unclaimeditems.
Sure enough, within anhour of the post, Fandel’s sis-ter recognized one of the pho-tos as a picture of their father.
It’s the sixth or seventhitem from Fandel’s homefound in the Chicago area.Fandel, her husband Karl
and seven-month old daugh-ter Nora were safe in theirbasement when the tornadoleveled their house. They arenow living with her parents inMetamora.
“We don’t have anythinganymore,” said Fandel, who isa high school teacher. “It real-ly means a lot to get these oldpictures back.”
Curiously, she had evenbeen in Westmont two daysbefore the tornado. She is long-time friends with former May-or Bill Rahn’s daughter, andhad driven north for the fu-neral. The “It’s a small world”moments continued a weeklater when Reich realized thatone of his best friends, KevinGleason, is Fandel’s uncle bymarriage.
“We were trying to think
of the odds of that making itall the way up here, and thenhaving the Westmont connec-tion,” Reich said. “What arethe odds of that?”
No such coincidences haveoccurred with the second pho-to the Reichs found in theiryard. It’s owner has still notbeen discovered. He plans tosend the picture to the Mor-ton Public Library, which hastaken up a collection of founditems.
Facebook did help connectanother Washington familythat lost an item and a Down-ers Grove family last week.
Downers Grove residentPamela Nicholas’ son Antho-ny was playing in their yardDec. 1 when he found what hethought was money.
“He brought it to me and
I thought he was kidding,”Nicholas said. “And I lookedat it and I saw that it was a $50savings bond.”
Nicholas didn’t thinkmuch about it at first, andjust assumed it had flown offthe back of a garbage truckor came from some other un-remarkable place, until shelooked at the owner’s addressprinted on the bond.
“I put two and two togeth-er and I thought, ‘Oh my goshthis came all the way fromWashington and landed in ourbackyard,’” she said.
After some digging onFacebook, she was able totrack down the Warren familyin Washington by the end ofthe week.
So far, it’s the only itemthey’ve found on their largelot that borders a wooded area,but they have kept looking.
“You never know,” shesaid. “When I was lookingonline I’ve seen more peo-ple who have lost one or twoitems that mean the worldto them.”

Downers Grove Village Council OKsmedical marijuana restrictionsBy ED MCMENAMIN
D O W N E R S G R O V E –The Downers Grove VillageCouncil has approved re-strictions for where medicalmarijuana cultivation cen-ters and dispensaries wouldbe allowed in town.
The zoning restrictionsare in preparation for thenew Illinois medical mari-juana law.
The restrictions werepassed by the council 4-3 onDec. 3, with commissionersSean Durkin, Becky Rheint-gen and Bob Barnett voting“no.” They said the restric-tions were not strict enoughand wanted to see furtherlimitations of where the fa-
cilities could be located intown.
The special use was rec-o m m e n d e d b y t h e p l a ncommission in October,and limits cultivation anddispensing centers to areaszoned for light manufactur-ing (M1).
M1 allows for a rangeof uses, including offices,banks, medical and dentalclinics and daycare centers.
M1 does not allow for schools,and is typically isolated fromresidential uses, according tovillage documents.
The state statute requiresa marijuana dispensary tobe at least 1,000 feet from aschool, daycare or residen-tially-zoned area, and a cul-tivation site would have to beat least 2,500 feet away.
The village’s special usealso requires both to be the
same distances from anyparks, at the request of thepark district.
Durkin and Rheintgenboth wanted to additionallyrestrict marijuana dispen-saries or cultivation centersfrom being within proximi-ty of recreational facilities.Their recommendation wasnot added to the list of re-strictions.
“I think we’re being too
lenient by supporting whats t a f f ’ s r e c o m m e n d i n g , ”Durkin said.
In addition to applyingfor a special use permit withthe village, any prospec-tive marijuana clinic ownerwould have to comply with alengthy list of state standardslisted in the new statute, andowners would be subject to acriminal background check.
“The inclusion of a spe-cial use in this gives us theflexibility we need in orderto apply, in a rational andthoughtful manner, the or-dinance we have and takeinto account some of the oth-er concerns that we have,”Commissioner Greg Hosesaid.
Commissioner David Ol-sen also cited the fact thatany prospective owner wouldhave to come before the coun-cil to be approved for a spe-cial use as a further level ofcontrol for the village.
“I plan to support this,though I’m not happy about[the new state law],” he said.“This state law is not some-thing I would have supported,but it’s out of our control.”
Vil lage Planner StanPopovich said this fall thatlike any request for a spe-cial use, the village looks atwhether the business fits inthe with the comprehensiveplan for the proposed area,and whether it promotes andprotects the “public health,safety, morals, comfort andgeneral welfare.”
“The state statute allowsus to place reasonable zoningregulations on these [busi-nesses],” Popovich said.
There are six areas zonedas light manufacturing inDowners Grove, but onlytwo areas would fit the newrequirements due to proxim-ity to schools and parks: thearea near Ogden Avenue andWarrenville Road and theEllsworth Industrial Park.
Illinois is the 21st stateto pass a medical marijuanalaw. It goes into effect Jan. 1.
The new law limits thetotal number of licensed dis-pensaries and cultivationsites at 60 and 22, respective-ly, state-wide. Patients with aprescription from a doctor totreat one of 35 eligible medi-cal conditions will be able tobuy up to 2.5 ounces of mari-juana every two weeks.
“The inclusion of a special use in this gives us the flexibility we need in order to
apply, in a rational and thoughtful manner, the ordinance we have and take into
account some of the other concerns that we have.”

GLEN ELLYN – A seriouscraving for pizza one recentSunday afternoon promptedus to try someplace new,Barone’s of Glen Ellyn, whichturns out to be a communityinstitution steeped in the vil-lage’s history and in the nobleart of the American pie.
Founded in 1971, therestaurant has two diningrooms, decorated with photostracing the history of GlenEllyn, with an homage to ear-lier identities such as Danbyand Prospect Park writtenprettily across faux-finishedwalls. Warmly greeted as wewere directed to our table, wewere treated to one of severalbooths with a digital frameshuffling through a display ofhistoric photographs, whichproved great fun and a conver-sation kick-starter.
The attractively designedspace is conducive to conversa-tion, even as the rooms beganto fill shortly following thedaily mid-afternoon opening.
Looking for an interestingbrew, my dining companionfound Mama’s Little YellaPils, which he recommendsfor its crisp, clean flavor, andI enjoyed a generously pouredhouse cabernet. Cocktails areavailable, along with a varietyof wines and craft beers.
While we studied themenu, which extends to Ital-ian dishes and other staples inaddition to pizza, we enjoyedthick slices of crusty bread ac-companied by a petite carafeof olive olive for dipping anda shaker of Parmesan. Whilegood enough to be homemade,the bread turned out to befrom Turano Baking Compa-ny of Berwyn.
We opened with a deliciouswedge salad, with ultra crispiceberg lettuce smothered inthe house bleu cheese dress-ing and well sprinkled withdiced tomato and crunchy,flavorful bacon for zesty con-trasts in texture and taste.
A cross-country celebrityargument recently in the newsabout the merits of Chicago’sstuffed pizza vs. traditionalcrust was resolved peacefully
long ago at Barone’s, whichembraces thin crust, pan andstuffed pizza.
Thankfully, it also offersa delicious gluten-free crustoption that I tried with sau-sage, onions and a plentifultopping of fresh mushrooms.This alternate thin crust withits mildly tell-tale sweetnessmeans the welcome end ofdeprivation for pizza loverstrying to avoid gluten.
My companion went for thestuffed pie, with fresh spin-ach, mushroom and bacon.
“While not classic Chicagostyle, it’s a tasty suburbantwist,” he said.
And while he ordered a“small” pizza, it providedeight massive slices – andample leftovers for lunches.
The service was terrific,and we liked being able tohelp ourselves to water refillswith a wine-bottle-cum-water-carafe as we lingered over themeal.
The menu ranges frompasta and Italian specialties tobarbecue ribs, burgers, soups
and salads, with gluten-freepasta also available.
Off the dining rooms isa spacious entry area thataccommodates pickup anddelivery services, and housesa freezer case of pizza andother dishes that folks cantake home to finish cooking intheir own kitchen.
Another case holds tempt-ing desserts, ideal to take alongif you haven’t left enoughroom at dinner. Also sold arepackage wine and beer, candy,ice cream and ices.
As we walked to its parkinglot, we spotted Barone’s play-room for kids, featuring toysand video games with severalrapt young people – anotherthoughtful touch at this vener-able family restaurant.

Interior decorating tips for the holiday season:repurposed, sustainable and sparkly
(BPT) - This year’s holiday seasonis taking on a decidedly modern twist,with an emphasis on recycling andrepurposing old decorations, utilizingsustainable decor, and adding sparkleto complete the look.
Shari Canepa, American Societyof Interior Designers (ASID), member,LEED Green Associate, and a memberof the interior design faculty at The ArtInstitute of California - San Francisco, acampus of Argosy University, says thatsustainability begins with the icon ofChristmas: the Christmas tree.
“It can no longer be artificial or cut.Bring a potted tree into your home withthe intention of planting it after Christ-mas in the yard. The idea is to save atree and plant a tree, giving a gift tonature after Christmas.”
Canepa recommends creating a new focalpoint in the public area of your home to reinforcethe spirit of the season. “You can do this witha tree, wreaths, special seasonal decorativeaccessories or lighting. Shifting the focal pointchanges your psychological relationship to theroom.”
To design a new focal point, Canepa suggestsan arrangement of various sized potted treesthat can be conveniently moved. Create a miniforest of varying sizes and heights and decoratewith lights and ornaments. “Supple evergreenbranches wrapped around a stair banister with orwithout lights is also a nice addition.”
To continue the sustainable trend, utilizeenergy-friendly LED lights around pictures,ceiling moldings, desk railings, in interior flowerarrangements or on door casings.
“Sophisticated or elegant interiors movetoward white lights while energetic, youthful ormodern themes make use of the color option.These energy saving lights make using lots ofsparkle for Christmas guilt-free,” Canepa says.
Modernize the holiday by choosing a salmonand chartreuse color scheme over traditional redand green, mentions Canepa. “If this part of thecolor wheel leaves you flat, use the symbols ofChristmas like candy canes, reindeer, stars, pine-cones, stockings, candles and balls - but makesure they are other hues than red and green. Addwhite, lots of white, which adds pop.”
Silver, gold and mirrored surfaces are alsoappropriate and modern, as are neutral colorssuch as white, gray and beige when combinedwith shiny materials.
“Silver is the metallic accent that ties [thisyear’s holiday] colors together,” says Ann Durkin,part-time adjunct faculty professor of InteriorDesign at The Art Institute of Phoenix.
Durkin adds that this holiday season marksa shift toward textures that express warmththrough materials - such as wood, suede andburlap.
“There is a strong desire for more touch-able handmade or nature-made objects with amodern twist.-This can be an embroidered orknitted pillow covers, textured rugs or a burlaptree skirt.”
She advises holiday decorators to keep thingssimple and to showcase special pieces such ashandmade ornaments. “There is no need to buynew decorations every year.-But don’t let the olddecorations drive your design for the space.”-Beselective in how you will re-use them.
Durkin says that updating old ornaments canbe as simple as repainting them with matte silverpaint and affixing silver beads with a sheer silverbow.
Old ornaments may also be re-coveredwith fabrics such as burlap, to give an earthyhand-made appearance.-”This way you can stillpreserve the original look of the ornament, if itmakes sense to use it again in the future. Thinkof it as a slip-cover for your ornament.
“The overall idea is to have fun and re-useexisting decorations as much as possible byreinventing them,” Durkin states.
The key to this holiday season’s decorating:keeping things simple yet chic while matchingyour personal style. “Create a timeless ensemblewhich could extend beyond the holiday seasonand be used as the basic foundation for yourinteriors throughout the year,” says Durkin.

This brand won the Gold Star Award from the restaurant industrypublication Sante Magazine, who deemed it “a standout.”
Experience the robust flavor ofVietnamese cinnamon
(BPT) - Cinnamon may be theworld’s most popular baking spice,but all cinnamons are not createdequal, and in the foodie world, Viet-namese cinnamon has emerged asthe most prized of the bunch.
The bunch, by the way, includesan array of cinnamons and cassias,all from evergreen trees of theCinnamomum genus. Some are fromIndonesia, others from China, SriLanka or Mexico.
Dark reddish/brown and lushlyaromatic, Vietnamese cinnamonis favored for its distinctly sweet,peppery, spicy flavor. Less tannicand more robust than its relatives,it delivers a powerful taste whetherused solo - as in those gooey rollsor spirally bread - or in combo withother spices - in a curry or pumpkinpie spice blend, for example.
All that potency comes froman extraordinarily high volatile oilcontent - the highest of all the cinna-mons about 1 to 6 percent, comparedwith .5 to 2.5 percent in other cinna-mons. The high oil content also helpsthe flavor disperse fully; there’s nomistaking what spice you’re dealingwith when you taste a dish seasonedwith Vietnamese cinnamon.
Tips for using Vietnamesecinnamon:
Browse any assortment of bakingrecipes and you’ll find cinnamonin the ingredients lists for cakes,muffins, breads, cookies, pies, breadpuddings, cobblers, crisps, andpastries. It also has a special affinityfor fruits, such as apples, apricots,
cherries, pears, bananas and citrus.Cinnamon’s warm flavor also
shows up in plenty of savory dishes- soups, sauces, chutneys, catsup,pickles, fish, meat and poultry glazes,as well as many ethnic recipes. Itspungent sweetness also enhancesgrains and hearty vegetables likecarrots, squash, potatoes, beetsand onions. In most savory dishes,cooks prefer Vietnamese cinnamonover other cinnamons because of itsability to hold its own alongside otherlively ingredients.
When using Vietnamese cin-namon to spice a beverage - a hotcocoa, an eggnog, hot cider, coffee ortea - you might start by stirring it intoyour prepared beverage just a bit ata time. Once you nail your preferredamount, you can add it directly -right into your coffeemaker basketalong with your ground coffee, yourmulling cider pot or your tea blend,for example.
Vietnamese cinnamon alsopartners well with other spices likecloves, nutmeg, cardamom, ginger,allspice and black pepper.
Here are a few places youmight not have considered usingcinnamon:* Soups, stews and chili* Peanut brittle* Popcorn seasoning* Spice rubs for meats* Grilling marinades for fruits* Rice and tapioca puddings* Chocolate cakes* Spiced nuts* Granola and muesli

“Oh, by gosh, by golly it’s time for mistletoe and holly. Tasty pheasants,Christmas presents, countrysides covered in snow.”
As exemplified by this holiday hit by Henry Sanicola, Frank Sinatraand Dok Stanford, holly and mistletoe are an integral part of holiday imagery andtradition. Holly is used to adorn a home in green and red finery alongside evergreenboughs and wreaths. In addition, it has become customary to hang a bouquet ofmistletoe under which people are encouraged to share a holiday kiss. While theseelements of celebrations are now incorporated into many of the secular and religiouscomponents of Christmas, they have very different origins.
HollyHolly has been used since the days of the early Pagans as a decoration for
midwinter festivities, when it was brought into homes to keep evil spirits away. Theancient Romans also believed that holly prickles drove away evil spirits, and it held aplace of honor at December festivals dedicated to the god Saturn. To avoid persecu-tion during the Roman pagan Saturnalia festival, early Christians would participate inthe tradition of hanging evil-repelling holly on their homes to appear like the masses.Eventually as the number of Christians grew, the tradition became less of a paganone and more associated with Christians and Christmas. Some people have inferredthat holly and its prickly edges is symbolic of the crown of thorns Jesus wore at hiscrucifixion, with the red berries representing blood.
MistletoeMistletoe was once held sacred by the Norse, Celtic Druids and North American
Indians. It is actually a parasitic plant that grows on a wide range of host trees. Heavyinfestation can dwarf the growth and kill these trees. In cultures across pre-ChristianEurope, mistletoe was seen as a representation of divine male essence (and thusromance, fertility and vitality). The plant also was thought to be a symbol of peace,and anyone standing below it should receive tokens of affection. When enemies met
beneath mistletoe, they had to lay down their weapons and observe a truce until thenext day. This is how the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe likely began, andwhy a ball of mistletoe is now hung in homes during Christmas, a season of peaceand affection.
Homeowners who hang mistletoe and holly around their homes during the holidayseason should be mindful of pets and youngsters around the plants. Mistletoe andholly are considered to be moderately to severely toxic, and ingesting the leavescould be dangerous. Therefore, keep these plants away from curious hands. Mistletoeis commonly hung up high, which should make it less problematic, but holly shouldbe hung high as well.
Now largely associated with Christmas celebrations, holly and mistletoe wereonce part of pagan rituals and ancient superstitions.

(BPT) - When the holiday season arrives,so too does the enigma of holiday tipping.What’s supposed to be a sign of gratitudefor great service, can quickly turn intostress as you try to decide if and how muchyou should tip the handyman, mail carrier,babysitter and many more.
Lizzie Post, co-author of “Emily Post’s Et-iquette, 18th edition” and great-great-grand-daughter of Emily Post, knows the finerpoints of tipping during the holiday season,including who to tip, how much to tip andhow to stay on budget doing so. Post hasteamed with up Bank of America, and hereare some of her suggestions:
Make a list - The key to holiday tippingis to plan ahead so nobody gets overlooked.A tip is appropriate for people who haveprovided their services throughout the year,like your dog walker, housekeeper, personaltrainer, hairstylist, doorman and trash collec-tor. Don’t forget to think of the entire familyin the process, as well - it’s always good torecognize babysitters, day care providersand nannies.
Scale appropriately - The general rule ofthumb for holiday tipping is up to the cost ofone instance of service. However, this doesnot ring true for everyone on your list. Individ-uals who provide service on a more regularbasis, such as an au pair or housekeeper, mayrequire additional recognition, such as oneweek’s pay. Some people who may appreciatea gift, but most likely cannot accept cash,include your child’s teacher, health careprofessionals and government employees, likeyour mail carrier. By making gift purchases forthese individuals with a rewards card, suchas BankAmericard Cash Rewards(TM) card,you can earn cash back on every purchase, sowhen the holidays conclude, you have extramoney in your pocket.
Leverage technology - The holidayseason is a hectic time of year for manypeople, so leverage technology to makelife easier. Using easy-to-use tools, such asBank of America’s mobile application, youcan stay on top of account balances forgift giving and set up alerts to get balance
notifications. And, withadvances in mobiletechnology, giftingmoney is easier andmoreconve-nient than ever. Forinstance, using Bank of Ameri-ca’s online or mobile banking you can sendmoney to another person using only theiremail address or mobile phone number, sav-ing time, energy and effort. Prefer to send acheck? No problem. Customers can simplyaccess Bank of America’s mobile bankingapp on their smartphone or tablet to secure-ly deposit checks on their schedule.
Express gratitude - It’s important toremember that above all else, holidaytipping is really holiday thanking, extendinga courteous gesture as a result of servicethroughout the year. No matter how much orwhat you decide to give, it’s always import-ant to offer your thanks with a hand-writtennote or holiday card. After all, it’s thethought and sentiment behind the gesturethat matters most, not the gift itself.Consider these holiday tipping guidelinesfrom Post:
* Barber/hairstylistcost of one salon visit or a gift* Babysitter - one evening’s pay and a small gift* Handyman - $15 to $40* Au pair or live-in nannyone week’s pay and a gift from your child(ren)* Garage attendants - $10 to $30 or a small gift* Day care provider$25 to $70 for each staff member or a gift* Personal trainerup to the cost of one session or a gift* Dog walker - up to one week’s pay or a gift* Housekeeper/cleaner - up to the amount of oneweek’s pay and/or a small gift* Personal caregiver - between one week to onemonth’s salary or a gift* Doorman - $15 to $80 cash or a gift* Trash/recycling collectors - $10 to $30 each* Pet groomerup to the cost of one session or a gift* Yard/garden worker - $20 to $50 cash or a gift
To tip or not to tip: that is the holiday question

Keeping the magic of Santa alive
He had a broad face and a littleround belly that shook when helaughed like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly oldelf. And I laughed when I saw him in spite ofmyself. - “A Visit From St. Nicholas”
Christmas just wouldn’t be the samewithout Santa Claus. Santa will forever beingrained in the holiday season, serving as anendearing symbol of the season regardless ofyour religious affiliation.
Parents typically go to great lengthsto ensure their children enjoy the holidayseason. By keeping the magic of Santaalive, parents can add a special touch to theholiday season for their youngsters. Childrenmay become more skeptical of Santa aroundthe time they turn 10, but there are plenty ofways to encourage this spirit to live on yearafter year.* Read an uplifting story.
The holidays are ripe with stories thattug at the heartstrings. Parents can take theirchildren to the library and rent a Christmastale or take home a book of holiday stories,reading a different one before bed each night.Encourage children to write their own positivestories of what the holidays mean to themand read them aloud to family and friends.The book “101 Ways to Keep the Spirit ofSanta Alive: For “Kids” From 1 to 92” by JohnHagerman is a great way to get everyone inthe house enthusiastic about Santa.
* Keep the magic flowing. Children whobelieve in Santa for an extra year or two of-ten come from families that keep the magic
of Santa alive. In addition to the standardtraditions of leaving cookies and milk outfor the jolly old man, come up with newways to evoke the essence of Santa. Spraypeppermint air freshener around the tree andother places Santa is sure to visit. Use a largeboot to make a footprint in a plush rug. Finda way to trigger noise on the roof to give kidsthe impression that Mr. Claus himself hasarrived. Extra measures to keep Santa alivecan help everyone enjoy the holiday thatmuch more.
* Take advantage of opportunities tospend time with Santa. Parents and childrenalike have many opportunities to spendtime with Santa during the holiday season,including photo opportunities at the mall andpersonalized videos sent directly to young-sters’ email accounts. Elf dolls and breakfastwith Santa at a nearby restaurant are otheropportunities to spread the magic. Make themost of these opportunities over the courseof the holiday season.
* Spread some Christmas cheer. Santa’sjob is to bring presents to the world’s chil-dren. Channel the notion that giving is betterthan receiving and spend time giving backto others as a family. Schedule a day whenyou can distribute gifts at a senior center orarrange to bring gifts to a foster child. Bakecookies and deliver cellophane-wrappeddishes to all of your neighbors. These activi-ties put the emphasis on giving.
Keeping the tradition of Santa Clausalive can help adults and children alike enjoya more festive holiday season.

With the Bears desperately need-ing to close out the season with threemore wins to keep their hopes ofwinning the NFC North and a tripto the playoffs alive, the ClevelandBrowns would appear to be exactly thecupcake the doctor ordered.
After all, the Browns are 4-9, miredin a four-game losing streak, and stuckin last place in the AFC North.
Ah, but looks can be deceiving.The Bears have faced three other last-
place teams this season in the Vikings,Redskins and Rams, and their record is1-3 against them, with a loss to each.
While the Browns record is weak,they do own victories over the Bengalsand Ravens, and they actually had a 26-14lead last week in New England with onlytwo minutes remaining before the Patri-
ots made a miraculous comeback withthe help of some questionable officiating.
This is a team the Bears absolutelycannot afford to look past if they don’twant to risk all the ground they justmade with Monday night’s win overthe Cowboys.
The good news for the Bears is theBrowns’ greatest struggles are in thearea of the Bears’ greatest challenge.While the Bears are still dead last inthe NFL against the run, the Brownsare only 28th in the NFL in rushing and27th in average gain per run.
That is in large part due to their ear-ly season trade of Trent Richardson tothe Colts, which may have netted theman extra first round draft choice in the2014 draft, but left them with the agedWillis McGahee, who is averaging only2.7 yards a carry, and youngsters ChrisOgbonnaya and Fozzy Whittaker.
Cleveland is better throwing thefootball, ranking 10th in passing yard-age, but they’re only 28th in averagegain per pass and are 18th in intercep-tions and sacks allowed.
Part of the problem is the inability tokeep quarterbacks healthy.
Brian Hoyer had won the starting jobbefore tearing up a knee and going downfor the year, and former Bears’ quarter-back Jason Campbell was playing verywell with an 88.0 passer rating beforebattling a concussion for several weeks.
Campbell did make it back lastweek to throw for 391 yards and threetouchdowns with no interceptions atNew England, the bulk of it going toJosh Gordon.
Gordon is enjoying an All-Pro typeseason with 71 receptions, 1,400 yardsand eight touchdowns. He will pose thebiggest challenge for the Bears’ defense,Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman inparticular. Tight end Jordan Camer-on also is extremely dangerous. He’scaught 72 passes for 825 yards andseven touchdowns on the year.
For all their prowess in the passinggame, the Browns still average only19.8 points a game, good for 27th in theleague is scoring.
The Browns’ defense has been ex-
cellent most of the season in keepingopposing offenses off the field, rankingseventh in total defense, fourthagainst the run and second in aver-age yards per rushing play. They areeighth against the pass, and third inaverage yards per pass play.
Big plays are the Browns defense’sAchilles heel, though, as it’s only 24thin interceptions, 14th in sacks and 19thin points allowed.
Paul Kruger and rookie first-rounddraft pick Barkevious Mingo are theirbest pass rushers. D’Qwell Jacksonis the club’s leading tackler fromthe inside linebacker spot, and PhilTaylor and Ahtyba Rubin do a reallynice job up front at nose tackle and thefive techniques, respectively, in theBrowns’ base 3-4 defense.
If the Bears’ offense plays like it didagainst the Cowboys, it’ll be an extreme-ly tough out for Cleveland. But if theBears can’t pressure Campbell in thepocket, he, Gordon and Cameron willgive the Bears another shootout like allthe other last-place clubs they’ve faced.

Although some leaguesbegan their playoffs last week,most fantasy postseasons kickoff in Week 15. The weathermade for some wacky games inWeek 14. Hopefully, the assort-ed snowstorms and frigid tem-peratures did not contribute toending your team’s season.
For those who fight on intothe playoffs, here is a look atsome fantasy matchups inweek 15.
MATCHUPS TO EXPLOITBroncos (vs. Chargers), 7:25
p.m. ThursdayAt this point, you probably
don’t need anyone to tell you toplay your Broncos, but this isa particularly good matchup.Only four teams give up morepassing yards than San Diego,and one of those teams is theBroncos. Looks like a shootout.
Must starts: Peyton Man-
ning, Demaryius Thomas,Knowshon Moreno, MattPrater
Solid plays: Eric Decker,Julius Thomas
Worth a look: Monte Ball,Denver defense
Avoid: Wes Welker (concus-sion)
Chargers (at Broncos), 7:25p.m. Thursday
Yes, only three teams giveup more passing yards thanDenver. They are ranked No. 7against the run, however. Thestats are a bit misleading: Den-ver is usually ahead, whichforces other teams to pass.
Solid plays: Philip Rivers,Keenan Allen, Antonio Gates,Ryan Mathews
Worth a look: Nick NovakAvoid: Eddie Royal, San
Diego defenseFalcons (vs. Redskins), noon
SundayMost of this season, you’d
be more likely to find Atlantalisted under “Matchups to
Avoid,” but this will be anopportunity for their offenseto produce. To their credit,the Falcons haven’t given up,and the Washington defense isterrible.
Solid plays: Steven Jackson,Tony Gonzalez
Worth a look: Matt Ryan,Roddy White
Last resort: Harry DouglasAvoid: Atlanta defenseBrowns (vs. Bears), Sunday
noonWe all know by now that
the Bears have a historicallybad run defense. The Browns,however, have no rushingattack. Something has to give.
As usual, it will be the Bearsdefense.
Must starts: Josh Gordan,Jordan Cameron
Solid plays: Willis McGa-hee*
Worth a look: Jason Camp-bell, Billy Cundiff
Last resort: Greg LittleAvoid: Cleveland defenseEagles (at Vikings), noon
SundayChip Kelly has all but
ditched the gadget offense, andthe Eagles are rolling. Thereis no reason to think that rollwill stop against a sieve-likedefense in Minnesota.
Must starts: LeSean McCoy,DeSean Jackson
Solid plays: Nick Foles,Riley Cooper
Worth a look: Alex Henery,Philly defense
Last resort: Brent Celek,Zach Ertz
MATCHUPS TO AVOIDBuccaneers (vs. 49ers), noon
SundayThe Bucs are on a nice little
roll, but we expect that to endagainst one of the NFL’s bestdefenses.
Worth a look: VincentJackson*
Last resort: Matt Glennon,Bobby Rainey, Tampa defense,Timothy Wright
Avoid: Brian Leonard, RianLindell
Patriots (at Dolphins), noonSunday
We are recommending acautious approach with NewEngland this week. Tom Bradystruggled before Rob Gron-kowski’s return. Without thebig tight end, their productionmay regress.
Solid Plays: Shane Vereen,Stephen Gostkowski
Worth a look: New Englanddefense, Tom Brady
Last resort: LeGarretteBlount, Stevan Ridley, DannyAmendola, Julian Edelman

Downers Grove North’s Jaida Green (second from right) steals the ball and makes her way downcourt in Thursday’s home win over Glenbard West. Green and the Trojans havedisplayed a newfound confidence during a hot start this season.
Confidence takes Trojans to new levelBy ALEX SOULIER
DOWNERS GROVE – Con-fidence suits Downers GroveNorth’s girls basketball teamjust fine.
The Trojans won just ninegames last season, but headcoach Stephan Bolt said thatlast year’s subpar showingcombined with a handful ofsingle-digit losses expeditedthe maturation process for ayoung squad which returnedonly one all-conference player– senior guard Sarah Costello.
“We have grown a lot in thelast year,” Bolt said. “They re-ally care about each other andthey are a close-knit group ofgirls. It goes a long way and it
really shows on the floor.”Experience and chemis-
try have turned the programaround and the team now ex-pects to win every game, Boltsaid. So far, the Trojans’ playis living up to the expecta-tions, as they are 6-1 and un-beaten in two West SuburbanSilver conference games.
“This team expects to winwhen they step on the courtbecause they know that theyhave put in a lot of hard workduring practice and the off-season,” Bolt said. “I think welacked confidence and an ex-pectation to win last season,but this year we are preparedto handle those challenges.”
The Trojans won three outof four games at the GlenbardEast Invite over the Thanks-giving weekend – their onlyloss coming during the cham-pionship game against OakLawn.
In the two games afterThanksgiving, North disman-tled WSS conference foes OakPark-River Forest, 59-42, andGlenbard West, 67-23.
Costello and sophomoreJaida Green lead the team inscoring. The Trojan captainsare averaging 13.1 and 18.3points per game, respective-ly, while starters Peyton Win-ters (11.7 points per game) andLauren Porcelli (six pointsper game) have also been keyoffensive components.
“We have scorers at everyposition that have stepped upthis season,” Costello said.“Our offense is not about oneperson, but the collective unit.We come into every game witha team-first mentality and tryto spread around the offenseas much as possible.”
As dynamic as the offensehas been, Bolt believes histeam’s biggest asset is its de-
fense. North is giving up anaverage 35.8 points per game,holding five opponents tounder 40 points and three ofthose opponents to under 30points.
“The defense, especially inthe Glenbard West game, hasmade a commitment to get-ting stops,” Bolt said. “Everytime down the floor, they wereready to play defense. Thathas to be what we are aboutif we want to remain success-ful.”
Downers Grove Northplayed at home against Yorkon Monday and will continuethe home stand against WSSrival Hinsdale Central andstandout scorer Gabby Rushon Saturday.

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
INDIANAPOLIS – ButlerUniversity’s football teamearned it first NCAA FootballChampionship Subdivisionplayoff berth this season, butit might not have happenedwithout a pair of DownersGrove South alums.
