HINSDALE – On a typicalday in Hinsdale, the down-town streets are paved blockto block with foot traffic asresidents bounce in and out ofstorefronts.

But even the most tena-cious of shoppers were de-terred Monday and Tuesdayby the arctic blast followinga winter storm that producedwind chills of 20 degrees be-low zero.

“Everybody is staying intheir house, but we are get-ting organized and getting thestore cleaned,” said RachaelPratt, owner of My SisterKate, 48 S. Washington St.,who was looking forward tothe warm temperatures ex-pected to arrive later in theweek.

Pratt said business hadbeen “very slow,” and whilethe store was still open Mon-

day and Tuesday, the ear-ly week was used more forpreparation in anticipationof the above-freezing tem-peratures forecast for Fridayand the weekend – the first inmore than a week.

Not every store, though,was suffering from the “Chi-beria” temperatures at thestart of the work week. In fact,if any business could pros-per during a time like this,it would be a winter clothingstore, which included KingKeyser Specialty Sports, 41 S.Washington St.

“We’re winter specialty,and we’re open because ofthat,” said Carolyn Johnson,a merchandise buyer for thestore. “It’s been slower, butwe’ve had people come in.”

Besides sports equipment,the store sells items such asski gloves, snow boots andwinter hats. While businesshas been steady, Johnson saidthe foot traffic earlier in the

week was almost nonexistent.“Last night [Monday] we

were open until 8:30 and itwas just deserted in town,”Johnson said.

Relief has arrived thoughas the arctic air continues to

leave the area and the 30-de-gree weather helps alleviateresidents’ cabin fever. John-son and Pratt are both antic-ipating a surge in the down-town and expect normal foottraffic to pick up.

Hinsdale area survives arctic conditions

By DANNY [email protected]

HINSDALE – It’s almostover. The blistering snow hassubsided, the arctic air is onits way back north where itcame from.

As the world has it though,these things happen in threes,and despite residents rejoic-ing to the warmer weather,the threat of flooding is nowon Hinsdale’s radar. Mid-30sand rain are forecast Fridayand it could break 40 degreesSunday, according to weather.com.

“There’s always a con-cern with [flooding] becausethe snow is out on the curbline, but we’ll have crews outthere,” said George Franco,director of Hinsdale PublicWorks.

Franco said it snowed onChristmas Eve in the villageabout six years ago and thenmelted the day after Christmas.

By then, everybody had putrecycling out and a bad rainstorm came through, sweepingcardboard into low lying areascausing flooding.

“There was a little bit offlooding back then, but I don’tanticipate that to be a prob-lem this time ... but you neverknow,” Franco said. “I’m hop-ing a lot of the snow is going tomelt away.”

This past week must havebeen payback for the last cou-ple years of mild winter in thearea. Since New Year’s Eve,

Flooding notexpected to beissue as temps rise

By DANNY [email protected]

HINSDALE – If you’rereading this, then congrat-ulations, you survived thewinter apocalypse of 2014.As a reward, here are somenumbers from the NationalWeather Service and localpublic works departments toput it in perspective.

1. Highs and lowsFrom Jan. 1 through Tues-

day, the highest recordedtemperature (without wind-

chill) in Hinsdale was 25 de-grees on Sunday. On Mon-day, it was a high of minus11. Temperatures are expect-ed to surge into the upper 30sover the weekend.

“It will feel like a heatwave,” said Richard Castro,meteorologist at the NationalWeather Service in Romeo-ville.

2. Let it snowThe snow tried its best

to put a damper on every-one’s New Year’s Eve plans,and then it never seemed to

stop. From Dec. 31 throughJan. 2, the National WeatherService recorded close to 11inches of snow in the area.After a day of relief, the areasaw about another 10 inchesarrive on Saturday and Sun-day.

3. Hours battledCrew members from the

Hinsdale and Clarendon HillsPublic Works departmentsspent about 22 hours a day inshifts battling the snow andice since New Year’s Eve.

“The days all start run-

ning together,” said MikeMillette, director of Claren-don Hills Public Works.

4. Salt spreadOver the course of all that

snow, Hinsdale Public Worksused about 150 tons of salt,while Clarendon Hills PublicWorks used about 280 tons ofsalt.

“When it gets really coldwe don’t really put it downbecause it’s not very effec-tive,” said George Franco,director of Hinsdale PublicWorks.

residents have dealt with re-cord-low temperatures, days ofsnow and unsafe road condi-tions.

“It’s been pretty intensejust because of the length,”said Mike Millette, director ofClarendon Hills Public Works.“We’ve had some kind of snowoperations pretty much sinceChristmas Eve.”

Millette said his crew wasworking about 22 hours a day,generally taking a two-hourbreak anywhere between mid-night and 3 a.m. as traffic sub-sides.

“The days all start runningtogether,” Millette said.

Franco said overall “it wentwell” battling the winter stormand arctic blast as equipmentheld up.

“Our crews are tired,they’ve been working aroundthe clock and that’s basical-ly been going on since NewYear’s Eve,” Franco said.

Public works crews wererunning in 12-hour shifts, hesaid, while others were work-ing in 16-hour shifts to com-bat the weather and make theroads safer for residents.

had to deal with the record-lowtemperatures and wind chillson Monday and Tuesday asclosings were widespread inthe area.

Meteorologist Richard Cas-tro with the National WeatherService said the coldest all-time temperature for the areawas minus 27 degrees on Jan.20, 1985, but the lowest hightemperature was minus 11 de-grees Jan. 18, 1994, and Dec. 24,1983.

On Monday, Hinsdale hita low of minus 15 and didn’tbreak zero, according toweather.com.

Castro said the cause ofthat arctic air experiencedwas due to a strong upper-lev-el high pressure system in thevicinity of Alaska.

Basically, all that arcticair was plunging southwardstraight from the arctic circlearea.

Throughout December, the“coldest of the cold” was po-sitioned right near the Hud-son Bay, but on Monday andTuesday, that air mass wentfarther south and sat right ontop of the Midwest before re-treating Tuesday.

Even though milder tem-peratures are expected thisweekend, Millette wanted tomake sure residents were stillbeing safe, particularly whenit comes to icy conditions andlarge snow banks from plow-ing.

“Just drive defensively,”Millette said. “Black ice cansneak up on anybody even ifwe’re out there 24/7.”

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

OAK BROOK – Prosecutorsare pushing for prison time forBeanie Babies creator and OakBrook billionaire H. Ty War-ner, who failed to report $25million in income he kept inSwiss bank accounts.

According to media reports,a filing by the government infederal court Tuesday in Chi-cago did not specify a specificjail time for Warner, but thefiling suggests that probationwouldn’t be appropriate.

Warner, 69, of Oak Brook,is the sole owner of TY Inc.,a Westmont-based companythat designs and sells plushtoy animals, including BeanieBabies.

Warner is charged with taxevasion after failing to report

income he earned in a secretoffshore financial account heheld with UBS, a global finan-cial services firm headquar-tered in Switzerland.

In a filing Jan. 1, Warnerasked to receive probationwhen he is sentenced later thismonth by a federal judge, ac-cording to media reports.

He said he has met with theterms of his plea agreement,and paid a $53 million civilpenalty and at least $16 mil-lion in back taxes. Warner alsodescribed himself as being aproduct of an “unhappy fami-ly,” according to reports.

Tax evasion carries a max-imum penalty of five years inprison and a $250,000 fine, ac-cording to the U.S. Attorney’sOffice, Northern District ofIllinois.

ClarendonHills considerssidewalk installation plans

By DANNY [email protected]

CLARENDON HILLS –Since the latter part of 2013,the village of Clarendon Hillshas been exploring how to in-crease safety for pedestrians,particularly when it comes tochildren walking to and fromschool.

The latest proposal, whichwas first discussed at Mon-day’s Village Board meeting,introduced the idea of apply-ing for a grant as part of theSafe Routes to School Pro-gram, which would go towardfilling in the gaps in the side-walk along Norfolk Avenueand adding a sidewalk on Ox-ford Avenue on the west sideof the street adjacent to thegolf course.

That project would costabout $200,000, but the villagewould get $160,000 in federalfunds if the grant proposal issuccessful.

However, it may not beas easy as just applying for agrant and starting construc-tion on a new sidewalk in thevillage.

“I think it’s important tonote though that there aresome areas where it’s easier toput in sidewalks than others,and there are times when peo-ple who are going to be livingadjacent to these sidewalksdon’t want them, so it isn’tsolely just something that’sgoing to be universally loved,”Village Manager Randy Reck-laus said.

Village Trustee Paul Floodsaid he anticipates residentsmay not like the look of a side-walk installed along Oxford,but he was thinking of the pro-posal with the safety of the resi-dents in mind. He said he oftensees residents walking throughthe pavement along the avenueand would rather have them re-

located to a sidewalk.“Some folks enjoy the ap-

pearance of having an extend-ed front yard, so to speak, bynot having that walk there,and I think where that’s mostobvious is along Oxford,”Flood said.

Village Trustee EdwardReid said he used to live on Ox-ford and wanted to try to get asidewalk put in about 10 yearsago, but it wasn’t a popularopinion.

“I would say the sentimenton the block was against it,”Reid said. “Most viewed it astheir property, and thereforethey’d be losing their proper-ty.”

Part of the discussion forsidewalks arose back in lateSeptember when a 17-year-oldClarendon Hills driver strucka 12-year-old Clarendon HillsMiddle School student whileturning left from southboundMiddaugh Road onto east-bound Chicago Avenue. Sincethen, there’s been an emphasison improving safety in the vil-lage, something that TrusteePaul Pedersen has noticed aneed for.

“I walk my dog on thatstreet three days a week, fromNaperville to Chicago, and it’skind of scary,” Pedersen said.“But on the other hand, whenI’m looking there, I’m think-ing, ‘boy if there were side-walks here where would weput them?’ ”

The process for the applica-tion requires a public noticebe posted and public feedbackwill be sought from residents.

Recklaus said Monday atthe meeting that he just want-ed to introduce the proposaland see if it is something thevillage should continue pursu-ing.

“I’m not hearing anyonedead set on not continuing thisconversation,” Recklaus said.

Happy New Year From Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming!

It’s been ayear now thatI have beenrunning ourad for a FreeGrooming andwe have had100’s and 100’sof satisfiedreturningcustomers.

Recently I was checking in withone of our new regulars, and shetold me something that was reallysurprising. She told me she didn’tbelieve the Free Grooming wasfor real at first or there was somekind of catch somewhere. (Are youthinking that?)

And luckily they finally gave us a callbecause a friend of theirs told themthe free groom was for real. Theyhad just tried us out months earlierand they were very happy with ourservice.

I get it…. in a world of bait andswitch and under-delivering andover promising I can understandtheir caution and disbelief.Sometimes it takes a friend to giveyou the all clear it’s safe to give ita try.

With that said we have put in placea couple of conditions….

We have found that people who liveclose to us come back to us (I knowits rocket science). What I mean is ifyou’re looking for a free ride pleasego elsewhere…don’t call us fromJoliet (we actually had someonefrom Florida request a free groomas well)…we want to become yourtrusted and regular groomer so youcan have a great looking dog all thetime.

Also if your dog is really old andonly gets groomed twice a yearplease use you regular groomer….it is very stressful for an older dog tobe groomed by a new person. We

recommend for your dog’s healthand well-being keep using yourregular groomer.

SOOOO…If you have a dog thatneeds to be styled and groomed Iinvite you to give us a call to receiveyour free grooming.

CALL 630-969-3145 we only have afew spots available a week.

If you don’t have a dog you can tella friend about this Free Groom too.

I certainly would be very thankful ifyou passed on our name.

Our number again is: 630-969-3145

I will let you go now…I wish you avery Happy and Healthy New Year.

Maybe I’ll see you some time.Cheers,

January is a big month for mystery lovers – SherlockHolmes fans in particular. Jan. 6 was the character’s “birth-day,” and the third season of the popular TV series “Sherlock,”starring Benedict Cumberbatch, premieres Jan. 19 on PBS.

According to a 2013 survey by Library Journal, mysterybooks account for about24.1 percent of library printcollections and 20.6 percent oflibrary eBook collections.

Part of the reason thesenumbers are so high is thatmystery readers are vora-cious. They regularly read ev-ery book in a series and are known to devour books in a singleday. That adds up. Even buying just one new hardcover a weekwould cost an avid reader $1,300 a year. It’s easy to see whymystery readers love their libraries!

If you didn’t get around to reading everything you wantedlast year, here’s a recap of some of the year’s best whodunits:

• “Hit Me” by Lawrence Block• “The Cuckoo’s Calling” by Robert Galbraith (aka, J.K.

Rowling)• “Just One Evil Act” by Elizabeth George• “Ghostman” by Roger Hobbs• “Cries of the Lost” by Chris Knopf• “The Other Child” by Charlotte Link• “How the Light Gets In” by Louise Penny• “Visitation Street” by Ivy Pochoda• “Circle of Shadows” by Imogen RobertsonAnd, as puzzle-solvers ourselves, librarians see kindred

spirits in mystery readers. We never know what question theperson coming up to us is going to ask. “How do I make a cro-quembouche?” “Who else writes like Sue Grafton?” “What aresome good hotels in Finland?”

Tracking down answers is the kind of detective work thatlibrarians do best. So, next time you’re in the mood for a mys-tery or have one that needs to be solved – let the Library lend ahand.

Mystery trivia: Sherlock Holmes exclaimed “Elementary!”a few times and called Watson “my dear,” but nowhere inConan Doyle’s original works did the great detective say themtogether.

12 FireDistrict’smeeting tapes handling called into questionSUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

DARIEN – The BetterGovernment Association isreporting more “unusualevents” surrounding the Tri-State Fire District, this timecentering around confidentialtape recordings from closed-door meetings from Tri-State’s board of trustees.

Recently, those tapes werestored in a private residenceshared by Trustee Jill Stren-zel and Fire Chief MichelleGibson. After Trustee Mi-

chael Orrico raised concernsabout the location at a publicboard meeting, Strenzel saidthe tapes were in her posses-sion because of renovationsat Tri-State, according to theBGA.

Then on Nov. 21, BurrRidge police responded to areported burglary at the Tri-State station in Burr Ridge,and Strenzel told officerssomeone “broke into” a dis-trict safe holding tapes andother notes, according to theBGA.

Police concluded nothingwas missing from the safe andclassified it as a “suspiciouscircumstance.” Strenzel is theonly person who possesses akey and combination for thesafe and asked a police of-ficer what should be done ifthey found that someone haderased the tapes “using a mag-net” and the officer advisedher to contact authorities, ac-cording to the BGA.

Police were called backto the station after midnighton Nov. 22 and were asked to

move items to a new safe, butdeclined to get involved. In-stead, officers watched Stren-zel move three envelops, fiveplastic bags containing audiotapes, 11 manila envelopes andone recording device from onesafe to another, read reports.

The Tri-State Fire Pro-tection District is based inDarien and serves parts ofWillowbrook, Burr Ridgeand unincorporated DuPageCounty.

“She’s big,” Bryant saidwith a laugh as the couple ad-mired Emma in her new pol-ka-dot green hoodie with pinkmittens. “And she looks older,I think because of the hair.”

Amezcua said the coupleknew the gender of the babya few months beforehand andwas relieved to learn they’d beexpecting a girl.

Solar panels stationed on the front of Eisenhower Junior High Schoolin Darien help the school save a few dollars and teach students aboutclean energy.

Junior high uses solarpanels as teaching tool

By DANNY [email protected]

DARIEN – A generationago, recycling to some wasconsidered a foreign concept,but today it’s a common prac-tice in schools, businesses andcommunities.

That same evolution is thehope of the Brian D. Robert-son Memorial Solar SchoolsFund. The foundation is basedon Robertson’s “20/20 Visionof Solar in America” that aimsto facilitate the installation of20,000 solar energy systemsat K-12 schools in the UnitedStates by 2020.

“I imagine talking in 20years, it’ll be like, ‘Oh of coursewe use energy in a clean way,”said Eileen Robertson, chair-woman of the board. “Hopeful-ly it will be a no-brainer.”

One of the latest donationswas made to Eisenhower Ju-nior High School in Darien.Principal Michael Fitzgeraldsaid the solar photovoltaicmodule was installed aboutmid-August.

“They’re right in the frontof the building right as youdrive up,” Fitzgerald said. “It’spretty neat.”

The solar panels will helpwith the school’s energy cost,but perhaps the greater valueis the education the panelsprovide to students about us-ing clean energy. Robertsonsaid one of the requirementsfor schools to receive the dona-tion is that the school will usethe panels as teaching tools,and it has to be visible so stu-dents can see how the panels

work and incorporate it intothe classroom.

“Right now at the begin-ning we’re just getting started,but basically what will happenis they’ll be an education pieceto how we can save energyand we’ll also be able to mon-itor on the computer differentthings,” Fitzgerald said.

Brian D. Robertson diedtwo years ago in a plane crash.Eileen said her late husbandwanted to leave the planet abetter place for the next gener-ation and said it was our gen-eration’s job “to clean up themess.”

“He was very passionateabout education and havingit be the key to clean energyeconomy,” Robertson said.“He was the kind of guy whocould see the bigger picture inthings.”

Fitzgerald said all gradelevels at Eisenhower will haveaccess to the panels that are lo-cated outside the eighth-gradescience lab.

“For right now it’s a littlebit of savings and we’re doingour part to try and go green,but we can also add to it andalso the learning that can takeplace in the classroom,” Fitz-gerald said of the benefits.

Have you put off doing your kitchen long enough? Is this the year you have vowed to do some-thing with your cabinets? Have the horror stories of kitchen remodeling made you afraid to eventhink about it? With prices approaching and surpassing $100,000 for full kitchen remodeling, it isno wonder the Average Joe and Jane feel a little overwhelmed.

Enter Kitchen Tune-Up! This locally owned (Downers Grove) National Franchise has been of-fering minor kitchen remodels for 19 years. Marty Ceranec, the owner, has won numerous awardsfrom KTU for Sales, Customer Service, and Creativity. He received the highest award in 2000 whenhe won National Franchise of the Year and in addition, is a two time Angies List Super ServiceAward Winner.

We offer Kitchen Solutions for Any Budget. “I think some people get sticker shock when theylook at the price of redoing an entire kitchen and are overwhelmed. We work with clients everyday who have the same anxieties,” says Marty.

KTU can provide anything from the Signature Kitchen Tune-Up to a full blown design and re-model. “The bulk of our work last year was in refacing and door replacement. Door replacementdoesn’t change the color, but replaces old particle board doors with new solid raised panel doorsutilizing concealed hinges. Refacing, on the other hand, enables one to change their oak cabinetsto maple cabinets without buying all new cabinetry,” said Marty. “These two options also savelandfill space because we are saving the boxes.”

Why have they been so successful? Simple things like showing up on time and returning phonecalls which is often lacking in the remodeling industry. I have chosen to keep the business small soI am involved in every job with my three long time installers. By doing this we have become wellknown as experts in minor kitchen remodeling.”Kitchen Tune-Up also offers cabinetry upgrades such as glass doors, tipout trays, soft-closingdovetail drawers, and full extension rollouts as well as counters in laminate, solid surfaces, granite

and quartz (Cambria) “The BestCounter Top Around.”

When questioned about anyregrets, Marty replies, “We oftenget calls to update the kitchenwhen the owner is ready to sell.We always wonder why theydidn’t do it earlier so they couldhave enjoyed it sooner.”

Students introducedto computer science

By DANNY [email protected]

HINSDALE – Future BillGates and Mark Zuckerbergsof the world filled the libraryat The Lane School on Dec. 11as they took a break from thetypical curriculum of mathand reading and instead wereintroduced to the basics ofwriting computer code.

Maybe these fifth-gradersare a few years away from be-coming billionaires, but it’snever too early to start learn-ing the basics of coding asmore and more of our lives be-gin to revolve around constantuse of computers, cellphonesand tablets.

And it all starts with logic.Stephanie Stieglitz, di-

rector of The Lane’s mediaresource center, said to in-troduce younger students tocomputer code and logic, shedoesn’t have them use a com-puter, but rather has them“program her.”

“I sat in a chair and I puta chair over there [across theroom], and said now you haveto give me instructions to getto that chair,” Stieglitz said.

Just like a computer, theidea is the coding 101 versionof giving a machine a partic-ular set of instructions to exe-cute commands.

“We’ve done it with kin-dergarten, and they enjoy itbecause it’s very game like,”Stieglitz said. “Some of themwill go, ‘Oh it’s hard,’ asthey’re getting into it, but oncethey get the flow of doing itthey’re all enjoying it.”

All students at The LaneSchool practiced writing com-puter code as part of Comput-er Science Education Week,Dec. 9 to 15, where the goalwas to get one million studentsaround the world writingcode. As of last week, the num-

ber had surpassed 19 million.“It’s been very successful in

that term, which is good andbad because it means theirwebsite is slow being a littleoverwhelmed, but it’s OK,”Stieglitz said.

In this version of comput-er coding, the students used avariation of the game “AngryBirds,” where the bird is giv-en set instructions to catch thepig while maneuvering a seriesof mazes and obstacles. Eachstudent stacks blocks togeth-er that say, “move forward,”“turn right,” or “turn left,” andhave to make sure they’re be-ing specific right from the startor the bird won’t move.

“They’d go, ‘No that’s notwhat I meant,’ and I said, ‘Wellthat’s not what you wrote andthe machine doesn’t knowwhat you meant,’” Stieglitzsaid. “That’s how we sort ofprepared for this to get themthinking in that logical step-by-step process.”

Stieglitz said that a recentsurvey was administered tohigh school students askingif they would consider a ca-reer in computer science, andmany said “no.” Stieglitz saidpart of the problem is thatmany students don’t know ex-actly what computer scienceis, or they assume it’s going tobe too difficult.

You wouldn’t know that byseeing the enthusiasm of thefifth-graders at The Lane asthey cruised through the lev-els and helped the bird grabthat evil pig.

“I think the fact that somuch of our lives are depen-dent on coding, even if they’renever going to do coding likeit’s going to be their job, theystill need to be aware of it be-cause more and more of thethings we do on a daily basisrely on coding in some way,shape or form,” she said.

Restaurant reviews

GLEN ELLYN – We madea happy discovery when westepped inside Glen OakRestaurant on a recent Sun-day, finding ourselves hungrybut not sure what we were inthe mood for foodwise.

Art posters dot the wallsof the downtown Glen Ellyneatery, whose high-ceilinged,airy space has lots of elbowroom, with tables and com-fortable booths. Dining therefor the first time, we noticedthe unusual touch of cast-ers on the chairs for ease ofmotion.

With expansive windowsall around for views, weenjoyed watching the trains ablock away.

A friendly server broughtover warm rolls, quicklyfollowed by the French onionsoup we’d ordered. It was anideal antidote to a bitterlywintry day. A telltale clue thatit was freshly homemade werethe chunky onions and anerrant bayleaf.

My dining companion waspleased the soup wasn’t toosalty, adding, “There’s a zestybite to it.”

For his main course, he opt-ed for the Reuben sandwich.The tender corned beef waspiled high on rye, with just theright proportion of sauer-kraut and melted Swiss, and acrunchy dill pickle. The sand-wich normally is served withThousand Island dressing,but he changed it up with bleucheese. The Reuben passed thetest with flying colors.

I focused on the breakfastmenu, which is served allday. An avowed omelet fan,I wasn’t disappointed witha delicious blend of creamycheese, grilled onions, spin-ach and ham. For a side, Ichose hash browns, whicharrived light, slightly crispyand ready to be seasoned topersonal liking.

My companion felt com-pelled to complete the homeydiner experience with a sliceof warm cherry pie a la modefor a sweet finish to an enjoy-able meal.

The restaurant begins theNew Year with a change in

hours, serving from 6 a.m. to2:30 p.m. daily. Its Facebookpage states the shift reflectspatrons’ preference to dineout for breakfast and lunchrather than dinner. The fullbar service will continue. Andlate afternoon and evenings,the restaurant will be avail-able for private events.

We’re looking forward totrying other dishes next timearound, knowing we won’tleave hungry. The ampleleftovers we took home tastedgreat for lunch the next day.

The new menu offersa wide array of breakfast

specialties including sweet orsavory crepes, multiple Bene-dict variations and gluten-freepancakes, plus panini, burg-ers, wraps, salads, sandwichesand other fare.

We learned Glen Oak hasbeen around for three de-cades, and now we know why.

Red Devils heading in right direction

By SCOTT [email protected]

HINSDALE – Coming offfour victories at the esteemedProviso West Holiday Tourna-ment, Hinsdale Central’s boysbasketball team has plenty ofreason for optimism headinginto the new year.

“I think we played someof our best basketball there,”Hinsdale Central coach NickLatorre said. “And it was reallynice to get five games there; Ithink the first three years therewe only played three games.Overall, it was a very positivetournament and I like the di-rection this team is going.”

One player instrumentalin the success was junior MattRafferty, who was selected tothe all-tournament secondteam at Proviso West.

“He’s good,” Latorre said.“He does a little bit of every-thing. That’s the thing abouthim, he is so versatile. And hecan knock down shots, whichcreates matchup problems forpeople.”

Latorre also pointed out thecontributions of senior GrantLillard, though what he pro-vides often doesn’t show up inthe scorebook.

“He’s had tremendousgames for us,” the coach said.“It’s not a surprise to us. Heis so good defensively, he canguard all five positions on thefloor. We knew it, we thoughtit. We had him projected as theJared Eck [a senior last year]guy. We thought he could fillthat role and he has done itvery, very well.”

The Red Devils take a recordof 10-3 into 2014 and the mostexciting part might be thatLatorre still sees room for im-provement.

“We need to get better insome areas, and I think we can

get better in those areas,” hesaid. “I think we’ve had somegames where we turned theball over excessively. We al-ways can get better at takingcare of the ball.

“I think we can get a littlecrisper running our offenseagainst pressure. But we haveyoung guards, and in the sec-ond half of the season, ouryoung guards need to continueto make strides. And [footballplayers] Ian Bunting and ChaseHamilton are just getting theirbasketball feet.”

Hinsdale Central will endup having nine days off be-tween games as Tuesday’s con-test against highly-regarded St.Viator was canceled due to theweather. That game is expectedto be played on Saturday, oneday after the Red Devils returnto the court against ProvisoWest in a West Suburban Sil-ver affair.

“They [Proviso West] aredangerous because they play sohard and they are so athletic,”Latorre said. “If we can takecare of the ball and rebound,we should be OK. But they posea lot of problems because oftheir athleticism.”

Keys to success

Hinsdale Central head coach Nick

Latorre has a few ideas of how the

new year will be successful:

1. We are going to need perim-

eter shooting because teams

are going to start double-teaming

Matt Rafferty. We need to knock

down shots; we need someone who

can stretch a defense so teams

have to play Rafferty more honestly.

2. We need to continue to im-

prove defensively, especially

defending the dribble drive. That’s

been a sore point at times.

Just how far away from Playoffs are Bears?

Of the 12 teams that started the 2013playoffs, the Bears only played fourof them. In five games against GreenBay (2), Cincinnati, New Orleans andPhiladelphia, the Bears were 2-3.

The Bengals game was the firstgame of the season and the Bengalsdid as much or more to lose it as theBears did to win it, kind of like Cin-cinnati’s third consecutive first roundplayoff exit last Sunday.

Their other win over the Packerswas accomplished without AaronRodgers as quarterback. Including theBears game in which Rodgers went outafter their first possession, the Packerswere 2-5-1 without Rodgers includinglosses to the Giants, Lions and Steelers.

The Bears losses to New Orleansand Philadelphia were their only two

losses of the year in which they werenoncompetitive, and their other fivelosses besides a loss to the Packerswere to Detroit (2) and the last placeRams, Vikings and Redskins.

The Bears are clearly not in the sameleague with this year’s playoff teams.

For starters, the Bears need to getbetter at quarterback. Seven of the 12playoff starters including Nick Foles,Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, AaronRodgers, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson andColin Kaepernick (91.6) had better passerratings than Jay Cutler and all butKaepernick were at least 12 points betterat 101.2 and above while Cutler was 89.2.

The other five Alex Smith (89.1),Andy Dalton (88.8), Cam Newton(88.8), Tom Brady (87.3) and AndrewLuck (87.0) were all almost even withCutler in rating, all of them threwmore touchdowns and only Dalton andNewton threw more picks.

You tell me, other than Dalton isthere a QB in the group you wouldn’ttake over Cutler?

The Bears are very competitive

with all of these playoff clubs atrunning back and wide receiver. Withthe possible exception of the Broncos,the Bears are better than any of thoseclubs at those positions.

The only 2013 playoff teams that ar-en’t clearly more talented on the offen-sive line than the Bears are Indianap-olis, San Diego and Green Bay. TheBears line was effective most of thetime this season, but it’s not capable oftaking over games the way the 49ers,Eagles, Seahawks, Panthers, Broncos,Patriots and Chiefs can at times.

If you’re a Bears fan you alreadyknow that defensively they just don’tmatch up, particularly in the NFC.

Seattle, the number one seed in theNFC also is first in the NFL in scoringdefense. The second seeded Panthersare second in the league in fewest pointsallowed, the fifth seeded 49ers are thirdand the sixth seeded Saints are fourth.

In the AFC, the Bengals and Chiefstied for fifth in the league in scoringdefense, the Colts were ninth in theleague, the Patriots 10th and the Char-

gers were actually 11th.Nine of the 12 playoff teams are in

the top 11 in scoring defense. In thattop 11 only the Cardinals – seventh inpoints allowed and 10-6 – and the Dol-phins – eighth and 8-8 – failed to makethe playoffs.

The Bears were 30th in scoringdefense in 2013, tied with the Redskinsand only the Vikings were worse.

The Bears dramatic improvementon offense under Marc Trestman thisyear was exciting and at times a lot offun to watch. But their decline fromfifth in the NFL in total defense in2012, eighth vs. the run and third inpoints allowed is the reason they fellfrom 10-6 to 8-8 and are not currently alegitimate contender.

It is quite possible the Bears will im-prove at quarterback as Cutler spendsmore time with Trestman, but the onlyway they’re going back to the playoffsfor the first time in four seasons andjust the second time in the last eight isby turning over the defensive half oftheir roster with a lot more talent.

Can Bears bring back JoshMcCown?By KEVIN FISHBAIN

[email protected]

Jay Cutler received the richestcheck the franchise has signed, butwhat’s next for his back-up?

Josh McCown playedsensational football inhis five starts and time inrelief in two other games,while also igniting aquarterback controversy(albeit, outside the wallsof Halas Hall) duringwhat coach Marc Trest-man referred to as Cutler’s best season.

McCown, who turns 35 in July, com-pleted 66.5 percent of his passes for13 touchdowns and one interception,good for a passer rating of 109.0.

“Love to have Josh back. I’ve ex-pressed that to him,” general manag-er Phil Emery said Thursday. “Josh,through his play, has earned the right tohave choices, and he’s got a lot of themand he’ll have a lot of them. He does

know he has a home here and that we’lldo everything we can to make it work ifhe decides he still wants to play here.”

Can the Bears afford McCown? Itmay seem like a ridiculous questionwhen talking about a 35-year-old back-up, journeyman quarterback whomade $840,000 in 2013. But, as Emerysaid, McCown will have options.

The Bears signed Jason Campbellto a $3.5 million deal in 2012 with a $2million signing bonus, so McCown andhis representation could use that as aplace to start.

Or, they could look at the high-est-paid backups in the league. Hereare some of the noteworthy and lu-crative backup quarterback contractssigned last offseason (all contract de-tails per Spotrac):

Chase Daniel, Chiefs, three years,$10 million, $4.8 million guaranteed;Matt Moore, Dolphins, two years, $8million, $4 million guaranteed; MattHasselbeck, Colts, two years, $7.25 mil-lion, $3 million guaranteed; Matt Cas-sel, Vikings, two years, $7.4 million,

$2 million guaranteed; and Ryan Fitz-patrick, Titans, two years, $6.5 million,$1.75 million guaranteed.

Those quarterbacks, though, allsigned with teams that did not justthrow $54 million guaranteed at itsstarter.

Of the teams paying the most guar-anteed money for its starting quarter-back, only one rewarded its backupmore than $1 million in base salary lastseason: the Lions paid Shaun Hill $2.4million (Kyle Orton restructured hisdeal to lower his base salary after TonyRomo got paid).

Backups for Tom Brady and Pey-ton Manning are still on their rookiedeals, Joe Flacco’s backup – TyrodTaylor – made a little more than a halfmillion, while Matt Ryan’s backup –Dominique Davis – made $480,000. Mc-Cown’s brother, Luke, made $840,000 asDrew Brees’ backup.

The Bears would need to find anamount that works for McCown, butalso isn’t dedicating too much 2014money to the quarterback position, one

that doesn’t need nearly as much im-provement as the other side of the ball.That’s a reminder that we don’t knowhow McCown fits in the Bears’ priori-ties during the next few months with adefense to fix, but we have a good ideawhere he is among Cutler’s priorities.

“I’d like to see him come back,” Cut-ler said after signing his seven-yearcontract. “I know we’d love to havehim back. I know Phil touched onit. We’d like to have him back in thebuilding just because of the amount ofwork he does behind the scenes withthe younger players and myself. Justthe experience he brings to the quar-terback room, it’s very valuable.

“We’ll see how that works out.”McCown will have his suitors, and

he’ll keep in mind his four kids thatlive in North Carolina as he decideswhat’s best for his family. By the timefree agency opens on March 11, theBears will have a better grasp on theircap situation, how McCown would fitinto the fold and if they can bring a fanand team favorite back next season.

Americans and their cof-fee. Has there ever been amore tumultuous love story?Everyone likes it a little bit

different — half-caf mochano whip with soy anyone?Luckily, as the temperaturesdip each year, we have coffeeshops that put up with ourridiculousness.So what’s new with coffee?

Apparently a lot. We recentlycaught up with two down-town Canton, Ohio, coffeeshop owners, Cathy Wyatt ofCarpe Diem and Alex Haasof Muggswigz.“Ask me to talk about

coffee? You will be sorry!”Wyatt joked in an email.Wyatt, a self-proclaimed

“bean nerd,” said she hasnoticed a big change in cus-tomer inquiries in the 10years since opening CarpeDiem.“Over the years my cus-

tomers have become moresavvy java junkies,” Wyattsaid. “They are more knowl-edgeable about where thebeans come from— whetherthey are organic, fair trade,single variety, etc.”It isn’t only coffee shops

that are being asked thetough questions about cof-fee, said Haas. He has no-ticed restaurants are beingasked to stock better coffee.“Specialty coffee is still in a

growth phase,” he said.Haas said the coffee in-

dustry mirrors fashion inthat what is old is new again.Anyone else notice that theside ponytail is back forwomen’s hair? It’s like wedon’t even remember the di-sasters of the ‘80s.The same with coffee.

The “new” big deal in javais manual drip coffee, Haassaid. Manual drip is popularwith coffee afficionados be-cause it allows better controlover both the water tempera-ture and the brew processtime.“It’s part of an industry

push to encourage people tobuy more frequently, but insmaller units,” Haas said.Manual drip is brewed by

the cup most of the time.The French press is also backwith a vengeance.The silver lining with a

pickier clientele? Folks havebecome more patient.“For a good cup of coffee,

people will wait,” Haas said.Farm-specific coffee also

is the way of the future, headded.In more rural coffee hubs

such as South America,smaller farms are startingto figure out they can makemoney by staying separate,instead of the previous prac-tice of mixing beans frommultiple farms to ship inbulk, said Haas.“Now (the farmers) are

seeing they can sell their ownas high-end coffee,” he said.“They are seeing the payoffand raising the prices.”

Bean breakdownThe terms can get confusing. Decipher the great coffee lexicon

with some help from the glossary at Coffeereview.com, a coffee-buying guide:Fair traded coffee:Coffee that has been purchased from farm-

ers at a “fair” price as defined by international agencies. The extrapaid these farmers under fair trade arrangements is modest.American roast: Coffee roasted to traditional American taste:

medium brown.French roast: Coffee brought to degrees of roast considerably

darker than the American norm; may range in color from darkbrown (Espresso Roast) to nearly black (Dark French Roast) andin flavor from rich and bittersweet to thin-bodied and burned.Java: Java coffees are grown on large farms or estates, most

operated by the government, and are wet-processed using mod-ern methods. They best display the low-toned richness character-istic of other Indonesia coffees.Arabica: The earliest cultivated species of coffee tree and still

the most widely grown. It produces approximately 70 percent ofthe world’s coffee, and is dramatically superior in cup quality tothe other principal commercial coffee species, Coffea canephoraor Robusta.Balance: Tasting term applied to coffees for which no single

characteristic overwhelms others, but that display sufficient com-plexity to be interesting.Body: The sensation of heaviness, richness or thickness and

associated texture when one tastes coffee. Body, along with fla-vor, acidity and aroma, is one of the principal categories used byprofessional tasters cupping, or sensory evaluation of coffee.

Brewing that perfect pot

Cold-water method: Brewing method in which ground coffeeis soaked in a proportionally small amount of cold water for 10 to20 hours. The grounds are strained out and the resulting concen-trated coffee is stored and mixed with hot water as needed (oruse for iced coffee).Drip method: Brewing method that allows hot water to settle

through a bed of ground coffee.French press: Brewing method that separates spent grounds

from brewed coffee by pressing them to the bottom of the brew-ing receptacle with a mesh plunger. Also called plunger potmethod.Open-pot method: Brewing method in which the ground cof-

fee is steeped (not boiled) in an open pot, and separated from thebrewed coffee by settling or straining.Vacuum-filter method: Brewing method that differs from

other filter methods in that the brewing water is drawn throughthe ground coffee by means of a partial vacuum.

Get more fiberFor many, the new

year provides a reasonto examine the changeswe would like to makefor a healthier life. Fo-cusing on fiber intakeis one important andeasy modification toconsider.

Research has shownthat fiber has a widerange of health ben-efits, but Americansstruggle with gettingtheir daily dose. TheFDA recommendsconsuming 20 to 30grams of fiber per day,but less than 3 percentof Americans actuallydo so.

Registered dietitianDawn Jackson Blatnersays adding fiber intothe diet can be easyand flavorful with justa little planning. Ide-ally, she recommendschoosing foods withnatural fiber ratherthan overly processedfoods with added fiber.

1. “Veggify:” Addvegetables to youromelets, sandwiches,pizza and pasta. Addveggies dipped in low-fat dressing at lunchand start dinner with alittle garden salad withchopped prunes forextra flavor.

2. Bean boost: Addbeans and lentils to upyour fiber intake. Addblack beans to tacos,garbanzos to salads,kidney beans to stirfries, white beans topasta dishes and lentilsto ground beef beforemaking burger patties.

3. Fruity snacktime: On-the-go por-table fruits such as ap-ples, pears and orangesare good between-mealchoices.

4. Grain swap:Whole grain toast in-stead of white toast forbreakfast, brown ricestir fry for lunch, wholegrain crackers for asnack and whole grainpasta for dinner can goa long way in helpingyou achieve the dailyfiber recommendation.

5. Drink up: Fiberis not only for eating,you can also drink it.Look for a variety ofjuices with natural fiberincluded, or make yourown smoothies withfruits and veggies.

Do you have thyroid symptoms

but were told that you don’t have a

thyroid problem? …you may have

been mis-diagnosed.

If you are confused and frustrated

due to persistent thyroid symptoms,

perhaps it’s time to take a new

approach?

Holistic herapy:Find and manage the underlying cause

Use natural therapies that work with your

body

here are 8 majorthyroid patterns.

What pattern are you?

Medications only treat 2 of the 8 patterns.

Finding out your thyroid pattern is

essential for thyroid symptom relief and

managing the underlying cause.

Did you know that up to 90% of all thyroid

conditions are actually primary auto-

immune imbalances. If you do not address

the underlying immune imbalance, you may

NEVER improve.
