5 PLACES TO VOLUNTEER

Area nonprofits seek support this seasonBy NATHAN LURZ

For many, the holiday

season is among the happiest

times of year, filled with gifts

and loved ones.

But for those struggling

to make ends meet, it can be

among the most stressful.

Although they need

support year-round, area

nonprofits are especially

looking to the community

this December, in an effort to

support their clients during

the holidays.

Here’s how you can give

back in the coming weeks:

area residents by providing

both recreation opportunities

and social support services.

From recreational events that

include art shows, theater and

fitness to counseling and edu-

cational services, the Commu-

nity House casts a wide net.

Giving financially – al-

though a great way to help

– isn’t the only way. The

Community House regularly

seeks individuals to help out

with their time by becoming a

volunteer. Businesses can also

look into becoming a Commu-nity Partner with the organiza-tion to support their services.

Hinsdale Liquor Commissionhands out 30-day suspension

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

HINSDALE – Hinsdale’s Li-quor Commission announceda 30-day liquor license sus-pension for Hinsdale FoodMart, 5827 S. Madison St., ata meeting of the Liquor Com-mission on Dec. 16.

The ruling also imposeda $2,500 fine for the owner ofHinsdale Food Mart for violat-ing Hinsdale’s Liquor Code.

During the 30-day suspen-sion, the food mart will beforbidden from selling anyliquor, which comes duringone of the busiest times ofyear for alcohol sales.

“This is the maximum sus-pension that we can imposeby law,” Hinsdale VillagePresident Cauley said in anews release. “And I believeit is important that we senda strong message that we willnot tolerate these types of vio-lations.”

Cauley also serves as

the village’s liquor commis-sioner.

The commission’s deci-sion to impose the suspensionand fine came about after thestore violated the village’sliquor code several times byselling liquor to minors andnot properly training employ-ees to conduct liquor sales.

A shop employee, AnkitaN. Amin, 23, was issued twocitations for selling alcohol toa minor between Oct. 28 and31.

Amin was cited at 4:33p.m. Oct. 28 at Hinsdale FoodMart after selling alcohol toa 17-year-old juvenile and notasking for identification aspart of an alcohol compliancecheck conducted by the Hins-dale Police Department.

After charging Amin, po-lice set up surveillance of Hin-sdale Food Mart to monitoralcohol transactions. Whilewatching the business at 4:30p.m. Oct. 31, police witnessed

a group, who appeared to beunderage, leave HinsdaleFood Mart with alcohol in avehicle. Police stopped the ve-hicle for speeding and the un-derage occupants were citedwith possession of alcohol bya minor.

Police later confirmed thealcohol was sold to the groupby Amin, who was issued asecond citation for selling al-cohol to a minor.

According to media re-ports, the business also vio-lated the village’s liquor codeby advertising alcohol salesin its windows and limits onthe amount of shelf space al-cohol products take up in thestore.

Attempts to contact theowner of Hinsdale Food Martwere unsuccessful. A phonenumber listed on the busi-ness’ Facebook page played amessage Wednesday statingthe line was disconnected orout of service.

Coping with cancerduring the holidays

By Diane Kieger Spivak

The holidays are typical-

ly a happy time of good will,

get-togethers and gift-giving.

But when you or a loved

one has cancer, holidays can

be confusing, depressing and

exhausting.

If you’ve been diagnosed,

one way to cope is to social-

ize, according to cancercare.

org, but accept only those

invitations you can handle

physically and truly want to

take part in. It’s okay to say

no, but keeping comfortably

active will lift your spirits.

Don’t think you have to

do everything you’ve always

done to prepare for and cel-

ebrate the holidays. If you

normally shop till you drop

but don’t have the energy

this year, don’t try, advises

the American Cancer Society.

You can shop from the com-

fort of your home by mail, by

phone, or if you have access

to the Internet, online.

If you’ve always been the

hostess with the mostest,

take it easy. Delegate the

prep to someone else or cut

down on your event planning.

If you just can’t relinquish

your hosting duties, have a

potluck meal so others can

bring dishes. You can always

eat out.

Share your feelings and

your worries with loved ones.

They can be reassuring and it

helps to get your concerns off

your chest.

If you have a friend or

loved one who is dealing with

cancer offer to help with

shopping, decorating, cook-

ing or just to lend an ear. They

will appreciate your kindness

and may take you up on your

offer. Some people don’t like

to ask for help but are grate-

ful for it.

Losing a loved one to can-

cer is especially painful when

that person is conspicuously

absent during holiday gather-

ings. Allow yourself to grieve,

says the American Cancer

Society, but talk to others,

whether friends, loved ones

or counselors. Also, try to

balance your grief with tradi-

tional holiday activities.

Children sing carols with Santa last year before the Christmas tree lighting at Memorial Hall in Hinsdale.

By the time you receive your next edition of the Hinsdale Sub-

mas carols sung and holiday meals consumed. So this is our last

chance to wish you a very merry Christmas. From all of us to all

of you, have a terrific holiday!

If you’re willing to brave the elements and leave home for some-

thing to do in the next couple of weeks, there’s a pair of holiday

events worth checking out. On Saturday, the Whole Foods in

Hinsdale is hosting a Taste of the Holidays event from noon to 3

The fellowship of family and friends and time-honored tra-ditions all contribute to making Christmas special. However,the weeks leading up to Christmas can be very hectic, and itsmeaning can be lost. A wonderful way to draw us back to thetrue spirit of the season is giving.

For those of you who arelooking for a way to helpyour fellow citizens whommay not be as fortunate asyourselves, York Townshipoffers marvelous opportuni-ties to give.

Last year over the hol-idays, we helped 283 families with 541 children through ourChristmas Adopt A Family and Toys For Tots programs. Thesefamilies received gifts and toys all donated by local organiza-tions, churches, schools, businesses and families.

If you would like to adopt a family for Christmas or donatetoys for needy children, that is one way you can help. Anotherway to help is by supporting the York Township Food Pantry,which operates solely on private contributions and in-kinddonations from individuals, corporations and organizations.Last year our pantry served 2,897 families consisting of 8,923men, women and children.

In addition to food products for our pantry, there is anongoing need for cleaning supplies and paper products. Cashdonations are always welcomed and much appreciated. If youwould like to contribute, you can drop off donations anytimeduring business hours or call 630-620-2400 for information.

On behalf of York Township employees, volunteers andthe folks whom benefit from York Township programs andservices, I want to thank all of you for your generous supportduring the holiday season and throughout the year.

In closing, I would like to share with you two of my favoritequotes about Christmas:

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is tohave the real spirit of Christmas,” Calvin Coolidge, 30th presi-dent of the United States.

“For this day is born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord,in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shallfind the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a man-ger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of theheavenly army, praising God, and saying: ‘Glory to God in thehighest; and on earth peace to men of good will,’” Luke 2:11-14.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and yours.

John W. Valle is supervisor of York Township.

Holiday safety tipThis holiday season, if Santabrings you any electronics, takea few minutes to cut up the car-tons and place it in the propercontainers, not next to it, so youdon’t advertise what you have inyour house.

RememberingJudy Baar TopinkaJust want to pay my respect

to the people and the state of

Illinois on the terrible loss ofJudy Baar Topinka. She wasone in a million. She’ll never bereplaced. She was a great lady.My respects go to her family –Joe, her son, and the others. Godbless them all.

Reflecting on TopinkaI’ll miss not encountering Judy

Baar Topinka at estate saleson Saturday mornings. It wasalways nice to see her little

van with the “Topinka” licenseplate and know she’d be therewith a cheerful smile. Judy BaarTopinka was one of a kind andone of the best things that everhappened to Illinois “politics.”Miss ya Judy Baar. RIP.

Commuter tax in Chicago?Here we go again, yet another

politician in Chicago callingfor a tax on commuters whomwork in Chicago? Why don’tthe mayors in the surroundingsuburbs offer the same tax toChicagoans who commute toour towns? That way we couldgenerate tax revenue to holddown our own town’s taxesor increase spending whereit’s needed. Suburban mayorsshouldn’t be intimidated byChicago and should stand upfor the citizens in their commu-nities. The number of peopleliving in Chicago and working inthe ssuburbs could be a greatnew source of income, too. Sadthat this country is coming tosuch methods to raise money.

On Ferguson,Mo., protestsAfter watching protest march-

es throughout the U.S., I’ve notyet seen the one sign that wouldstop the behavior leading tothe marches. The sign wouldread, “Avoid confrontations withpolice; don’t engage in crime.”

Riots were shamefulIn response to whomever said

the police officer should havebeen charged was completelywrong. The grand jury saw allthe evidence and made sure allbases were covered. They tooktheir time. It’s shameful that itwas turned into a riot situation.Too many people nowadaysare just looking to start trouble.The people that really sufferedwere the people who lived in thecommunity. The lost property,stores in their own backyards.The police officer’s life is ruinedbecause of the incident and willlive with this tragedy the restof his life. Now more than everpolice have to be very careful onwhat they do, especially whenrace is involved. If the shoe wason the other foot, you thinkthere would have been riots?

We all know the answer to that.This country is really goingdownhill.

Country needs to uniteI want to compliment the

people who wrote in last week’sSound Off responding to theblack on white nonsense that’sdividing this country in half. Welost more people in the war tofree the blacks than all otherwars combined. Why can we notact like a United States of Ameri-ca? If you look at the stats, moreblacks are killing blacks thanwhites killing blacks.

What is torture?The cry baby liberals are at

it again. Imagine those poorbabies – those terrorists – whokilled thousands of Americans.Some got water boarded, weredeprived of sleep or confined tosmall spaces. That’s not torture.If you want to see torture, go to atorture museum or get capturedby ISIS. The CIA got informa-tion to stop future attacks. Theliberals crippled the CIA a few de-cades ago and we got 9/11. Whydo the liberals hate America?

More on mayor’s raceHere’s my concern about Geoff

Neustadt running for mayor ofDowners Grove. He was partof the negotiating team thatrepresented the maintenancestaff in contract negotiationswith School District 58. So,having represented union inter-ests in his collective bargaininggroup with District 58, asmayor, Neustadt would overseenegotiations for the employer

side of all collective bargainingagreements with the villageof Downers Grove. As mayor,would Neustadt understandthat he has a duty to be fiscallyresponsible with taxpayer mon-ey and not agree to generouscontracts with the variousunions that represent villageemployees?

Downers Grove Village Hallshould be on ballotCommissioner Neustadt’s

recent quote that he and his fel-low commissioners don’t needresident input on whether a newvillage hall is necessary remindsme of President Obama’sstatement that all he’s neededis a pen and a phone. This is nothard decision dealing with theoperations of the village. It isa financial decision that wouldresult in $52 million in debt forvillage residents. It should bea referendum decision and notan issue resolved with sevenpeople with pens.

Let voters decideon Village HallI would like to comment on the

village commissioners in Down-ers Grove concerning the waythey’ve handled the proposedpolice station/village hall. I can’tbelieve the arrogance of GeoffNeustadt and the other com-missioners thinking we electedthem to push through a $52million project without having areferendum. We elected them,not appointed them. We have anelection coming up so I think weshould replace them with peoplewho care what the people think.

Feed My Starving Children - 10, 11, 12; D.A.R.E. Youth Advisory Board State

Representative – gives presentations and speeches in classrooms and graduations,

selected for national conference – 11, 12; Miss Illinois Outstanding Teen – chose

“Keep the Future Bright” teenage substance abuse as her platform, founded

“Journals for Joy”, attends various and service engagements and fundraising

events, is a positive role model for young girls to emulate, serves as the State Teen

Goodwill Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network - 12.

Nominated by Amy Wesley, College Counselor: “ Grace’s academic achievement

(she is enrolled in a highly demanding course load at Benet and maintains a 4.0

GPA) and her extra-curricular involvement are extraordinary. I honestly don’t

know how she balances it all. Involved with music and drama at Benet and as a

SAG-AFTRA professional actress (you might recognize her from Chicago Fire two

years ago), Grace loves to perform. She also loved the team aspect of cheerleading

last year and would have liked to continue her senior year, if not for the conlicts it

caused with being Miss Illinois Outstanding Teen.

A few years ago, Grace was watching the Miss America pageant and thought

“I can do that!” So she ran for Miss Chicago’s Outstanding Teen… and won.

While she doesn’t intend on pursuing the pageant industry, it has provided her with

the opportunity to take her platform on D.A.R.E. to a state level. Grace has had

numerous speaking engagements at D.A.R.E. graduations and was asked to be the

State Representative for the Advisory Board. It’s a cause she feels very strongly

about, as she has seen the pain irst-hand and wants to do all she can to protect

other families from facing that tragedy. Grace is not the kind of kid who says she

wants to make a difference; she actually goes out and does it. There was a reason

why she won that pageant, and it wasn’t just because she’s pretty! It’s because she

knew that God had a plan for her to make an impact on other teenagers in Illinois,

and it’s a gift she has not taken lightly. For example, Grace has combined her love

of English with her desire to help others by founding “Journals for Joy”, which will

candidate for the Suburban Life recognition because she has worked hard to become

compassion and love of building friendships with these students extends beyond

the classroom. Through Circle of Friends she socializes outside of school; going to

movies, and football games, as well as to all of the school dances. This opportunity

to give back every day is something that is central to the person she is.”

it is her involvement with activities at Benet, through the D.A.R.E. program, or as

Create a happyhomemade holiday

One of the best ways to kick off the holiday season is to decorate.And while it’s easy to load your cart with beautiful decor fromyour favorite store, Christmas is more personal when decorationsare homemade.

No time you say? Between planning dinners for the family and throwingcocktail parties for friends, it can be overwhelming. But it is possible tosurvive it (and enjoy it) by keeping everything simple. This season, let yourcreative instincts shine through as you watch your mantels, stairwells, andtables come to holiday life, with ideas like these:

Create a magical mantleFor most families, the living room is where gifts are exchanged, holiday

movies are enjoyed and stories are shared gathered by the fireplace - amajor focal point in the room. Give this cozy centerpiece a warm new lookby creating a decorative display for your mantel.

Draping a festive garland is one way to achieve a distinctive display.Do-it-yourself banners and garland have become increasingly popular as agreat way to personalize your decor.

To make your own, start with a heavy fabric, like burlap or the kindused for upholstery, and cut enough pennants for your favorite holidaysaying, like “Let it Snow.” Then using a snowflake stencil, spray paint thepattern with a silver color. Krylon Metallic Brilliant Silver, for example,works very well on fabric. Spray paint chipboard letters in a bright white.Once everything dries, spell out your message, one letter per pennant,and adhere the letters. Adorn the banner with plastic snowflakes and hollysprigs to finalize the festive look.

Trim a tree like a proThe Christmas tree is another major focal point in your living room

during the holidays. If you’re tired of the same old display year after year,give the tree a fresh look by changing up the ornaments and adding atheme.

Start by choosing a specific color scheme, such as red and gold.Don’t have enough decorations to match your new theme? It’s easy andaffordable to create your own by using items already around the house.For example, use bulbs from an old string of lights to create a whimsicaldecoration. Remove bulbs from the strand and spritz the inside of the bulbwith Krylon ColorMaster Paint + Primer spray paint in cherry red, emeraldgreen and global blue. Roll the bulb around to distribute the paint for abeautiful translucent look. Add a little glitz with Krylon Glitter Spray inresplendent red, glamorous green and magical multicolor to the outside ofthe bulb for a festive look, and top off with your favorite embellishmentslike ribbon or bells. You can even spray paint old ornaments so they fit intoyour new color scheme.

Once your new decor is complete, hang ornaments and lights on yourtree before displaying it for the whole family to enjoy.

Add elegant table toppersIf you are hosting get-togethers for family and friends, add a sparkle

to your table. Not sure where to start? First, choose two or three colors.Select a table cloth, table runner or placemats in your color palette andconsider the arrangement for the middle of the table. Try replacing thetraditional red and green with gold and silver accessories - candles, napkinrings, small figures in the plates and other decorative accents. Includecandles so the flickering flames can create a warm atmosphere. Evencasually scattered pine cones, fir branches, red roses or poinsettias willadd a special touch on the table.

It’s easy to make your fine china the highlight of the dinner; but thisyear, try making your placemats the conversation starter by utilizingantique sheet music - which can be found at old book stores or simplyprinted at home. These sheets will make for a chic and unconventionalbase for any place setting.

Remember, it doesn’t have to be a stressful time of year, with a littleeffort and creativity you can turn take your holiday decor from ho-hum tohomey in no time. More information and additional project ideas can befound at www.krylon.com.

Gift-giving doesn’t come naturally to everyone. If you’re strug-gling to find the perfect present, or if you just need someinspiration, Los Angeles-based celebrity stylist LawrenceVonRompf has tips to help you please all the women on your

holiday shopping list.What makes a great gift? - A little pampering goes a long way.

Put together a sampling of her favorite bath and body products andfragrances and personalize it to show you put thought into the gift.For example, include a monogrammed item like a scented candle orput all the products in a monogrammed gift box.

For the fashionista who has everything - Don’t waste time andmoney trying to find the latest and greatest in style - she probablyalready has it. Instead, VonRumpf suggests enhancing her collectionwith nail polish or lipstick in the season’s hottest colors and shades.

“Nail polishes make great gifts because the unique colors add apersonal touch,” he says. “I love the colors in the Limited-Edition MaryKay At Play Hail to the Nails Mini Nail Trio for this season. On the NewYork Fashion Week runways, navy blue was clearly the new black andMary Kay’s nail lacquer in Inky Blue aligns perfectly with this trend!”

Match her personality - It’s easier to find the right gift if you knowher tastes in fashion, style, music or even favorite colors, VonRumpfsays. Also consider her interests - would she prefer a spa day or acamping trip? A good rule of thumb is to choose a gift she wouldn’texpect - or purchase herself.

For the woman who does everything - Moms are the epitome ofhardworking women and deserve a little “me” time. Surprise her - oranother under appreciated woman in your life- with a pampering giftto make her feel special and loved.

“I’d like to give my mom two things: a chance to unwind and timewe can spend together. My favorite product for her is the Limited-Edi-tion Mary Kay Pomegranate Satin Hands Pampering Set,” VonRumpfsays. “For a personal touch, pair the set with a gift card or a trip to herfavorite nail salon and get a manicure together.”

Under the mistletoe - Whether it’s a budding romance or a long-term relationship, surprise her with something thoughtful and person-al. A scented gift works perfectly, as it offers a touch of personalityand will also remind her of you every time she smells it.

“Mary Kay’s Limited-Edition Winter Wishes Fragrance Wand hascitrus, jasmine and snow apple notes, so it is festive for the seasonbut also smells great on anyone,” says VonRumpf. “The fragrancewand is easy to travel with, so for a truly memorable gift, I suggestpairing it with a little weekend getaway for you and that specialsomeone.”

With these tips, finding the perfect gift for the lucky ladies on yourlist will be a cinch this holiday season. So get your shopping doneearly, relax and wait to see the look of joy on her face when she opensyour present!

ROBERTO’SRISTORANTE & PIZZERIA

Bargain hunting is practically a sport, especially during theholiday shopping season. Deloitte’s 2014 annual holiday surveypredicts the average American will drop nearly $1,300 thisholiday season. With that level of spending in mind, planning

to save real money elsewhere is crucial to managing a household’sbottom line.

Promotions such as standard Black Friday deals or free holidayshipping are nice but often don’t add up very quickly.

Huge value can be found on big-ticket items since their need canbe anticipated months ahead. Purchasing them seasonally or via year-end clearance sales can provide savvy consumers with hundreds orthousands of dollars in savings.

Here are a few examples of productsthat fall into each category:

Year-end closeouts* Cars.With the next year’s models already on lots for a number

of months, dealers are anxious to move cars from the previous year.Moreover, December is their last chance to improve year-end salesnumbers - whether at the dealer or individual salesperson level.

* Flooring. The end of the year is a great time to buy newhardwood flooring. Suppliers and mills often assess their inventory atthis time and clear out product lines before the end of the year. Storessuch as Lumber Liquidators purchase these products at discountedrates and pass the options and savings directly to consumers, result-ing in a great deal that can also increase the value of a home.

Seasonal purchases* Gas grills and air conditioners. Stores may offer deep

discounts on off-season products such as air conditioners and gasgrills. This rule of thumb is particularly valuable for people who livein cold weather climates, where summer goods become especiallyobsolete during the long winter months.

* Furniture. The holiday season brings sales and promotionsat many furniture stores on living and dining room items as peopleare preparing for holiday entertaining. In addition, outdoor furniture isgenerally at its best price due to it being out of season.

* Boats. Boat dealers are often trying to move inventory duringthe winter season, which gives the buyer an upper hand in negotiatingprices. The off-season is also a popular time for boat shows, wheredealers often offer their best prices of the year.

No matter a consumer’s methodology, a little planning goes a longway in finding bargains. There are very helpful websites - such aswww.dealnews.com - that do a great job staying on top of deals bothlarge and small. Online forums and traditional word of mouth can alsoassist in the hunt.

Five unexpected bigticket bargains you can

find at holiday time

Hurry in for the best selection!

If you make New Year’s resolutions, you’re not alone. About half of Americansmake special goals for each new year, according to University of Scrantonresearch. Unfortunately, you’re also not alone if you break them, as only 8percent of people are successful in achieving their resolution. Why do so many

people fail, and furthermore, what’s the secret to success?“The start of a new year is not powerful enough to help you continue to make

the best decisions,” says Dr. Chris Mohr, a fitness and nutritional expert who con-sults for television, print and radio outlets throughout the country. “People need todefine their ‘why’ if they’re going to make a permanent change.”

If your reason for changing your life is for your mental and physical well-being,you understand your ‘why.’ But instead of selecting a huge resolution that will takemonths or years of dedication to achieve, why not focus on small things you caneasily implement that will compound to have a dramatic effect?

“Start with one small change,” says Dr. Mohr. “You don’t have to wait for theright time, right date, right day, event, etc. Start now and start small. Then workyour way up with small, daily habits.” He recommends five, fail-safe goals thatare surprisingly simple and will still have a big impact on your overall health andwellness:1. Include lean protein with every single meal

Protein is an important part of balanced nutrition, but many people go withoutit, particularly for breakfast and lunch. Data suggests that 20-30 grams of proteindaily helps you feel full and maintain muscle mass. While chicken, pork and leanbeef are protein-rich foods, meat isn’t the only option. For example, a half cupof beans contains as much protein as 1 ounce of broiled steak. Other meat-freeprotein sources include soy, yogurt and eggs.2. Make raw nuts your snack of choice

When hunger pangs strike, it’s too easy to head to the vending machine orreach for prepackaged sweets. To keep hunger at bay and give your body whole-some nutrients that truly satisfy, keep several jars of raw nuts nearby for snacking.Just one or two handfuls of raw nuts a day can help control your caloric intake!Almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans - all are great options that will fill you upwithout the extra oil and salt, plus they keep your energy high.3. Move more every day

You don’t need to join a gym or make a dramatic fitness goal - just resolve tomove around more every day, particularly if you have a sedentary job. The averageadult sits for 15 hours a day, not including sleeping! Take a walk over lunch, parkin the back of the parking lot or opt for the stairs over the elevator; it all adds upwhen done daily. If you find yourself forgetting, set an alarm on your phone orcomputer to go off every two hours as a reminder to take a 10-minute move-and-groove break.4. Take a Nordic Naturals omega-3 supplement

Commit to taking one supplement in the new year: omega-3s. People allacross the world don’t get enough omega-3, and correcting this can drasticallyreduce the risk of disease and mortality. A Harvard study found up to 96,000 peo-ple in the United States die each year from insufficient omega-3 intake. Omega-3fats impact every single cell in the body and because they are essential fatty acids,they can’t be self-produced and must come from your diet. Select a pure omega-3supplement like Nordic Naturals, which is produced without contaminants orimpurities for superior quality.5. Turn off electronics and tune into life

Your health and wellness go beyond what you eat and how much you exercise.Modern life is busy, and it’s easy to get distracted by email and mobile devices.Resolve to turn off your electronics at least once a day to focus on two things:yourself and your loved ones. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s really important, likefriends, kids, your spouse and even you. Take time every day to tune out of theelectronic stimuli and focus on things you’re grateful for - perhaps quiet momentsby yourself, belly laughs with your kids or a tender hug from your partner.

The days are flying quickly past, and the holidayseason will be over before you know it. If you hav-en’t completed - or even started - your holiday giftshopping yet, don’t worry; there’s still plenty of time

to get everything accomplished.First, be sure to find an idea for everyone on your list

before you even think about shopping. With your ideaswritten down on a piece of paper, you’ll be efficient inchecking each and every name off your list. If the ideasare causing you the most problems, try an Internet search.Keywords to use can include “gifts for mom” or “musicalgifts for a teenage boy.” And if your list includes peoplewith hobbies, be sure to try an Internet search using thosekeywords as well.

Since you’re already at the computer looking for ideas,you might as well continue using it to make your purchase.There’s a good chance you can find the same item for saleon several different vendor sites. A quick online search willhelp you find the item for the best price, and you mightalso discover you can get the present gift wrapped as well.When comparing prices, be sure to confirm that the vendorcan ship your gift on time, what the cost is for shipping,and whether the company has a return policy.

You also can go online to find excellent discounts andcoupons for the items on your list. For example, Ebates.com provides discounts and coupons for vendors, and alsorewards you with cash back on your purchases once you’vefinished your shopping. So not only are you able to find theitem you wish to purchase with a free shipping offer or ata discounted price, but you’ll also receive a percentage ofyour purchase as cash back to be used however you want.

Before you finalize your purchase, make certain it willarrive before the holiday. Online retailers will provide youwith last-minute shipping information so you will knowwhen it’s too late. You’ll also know if you need to pay morefor a faster shipping service. Websites like Ebates oftenhave discounts on expedited shipping. The good news is, ifyou ship the present online while sitting at your computerat home or at the office, you can avoid the long holidaylines at the post office.

If you haven’t started your holiday shopping yet, yoursecret is safe. With these tips, you can check every nameoff your list with minimal effort and know that every giftwill be delivered in time for Christmas day.

WINFIELD – It was a sun-ny and chilly December daywhen my companion and I de-cided to head to Union HouseAmerican Kitchen in Winfieldfor lunch.

The space was inviting assoon as we stepped inside,where the high, white-paintedwood ceilings and decor feltreminiscent of historic Amer-icana. The lighting fixturesover the tables were styledafter old-fashioned bulbs, andbehind a long, wooden barthat could easily seat 15, was achalkboard with a plethora ofcraft beers and drink specials.

The restaurant is a small-plate gastropub that ourwaiter explained focuses onlocally harvested and seasonalingredients.

Since we were first-timersat the restaurant and newbiesto the small-plate scene, ourwaiter suggested we orderseveral selections to share.

Menu items range fromsalads to seafood and steak,so after much discussion, mycompanion and I selected fourplates to split between us.

I couldn’t resist orderingthe fried pickles as an appe-tizer. Silver-dollar-sized slicesof dill pickle were coated inAmerican Patriot beer batterand then fried. A creamyavocado and buttermilk sauceaccompanied the half-dozenslices for dipping. Not greasy,they were absolutely deli-cious, with the sauce offeringa cool complement.

Crab hush puppies calledout to my seafood-aficionadocompanion. They were madewith dried corn and crabmeatshaped into ping-pong-ball-sized portions and fried. Thefour hush puppies resting on asweet and spicy honey peppersauce were very tasty, and thecrabmeat was fully present,not hidden behind the corn.

A bourbon pork skewerwas next. The tender porkwas glazed in garlic andbrown sugar and had a side ofsriracha cream for dipping.Again, the pairing of the saucewith the entree proved to beperfect.

Our final plate was thechicken-fried chicken. It was,by far, the largest item weordered, and could be consid-ered a full-sized meal. A chick-en breast – flattened, breadedand fried – lay atop mashedpotatoes and was topped witha fried egg and white coun-try gravy. My companiondevoured nearly the entire

plate without speaking, onlysmiling between bites.

While we were a little fryheavy in our order, therewere plenty of selections tosatisfy any appetite, includ-ing the pan-seared scallops,Gulf shrimp brochette, grilledromaine salad, shrimp andgrits, and a grilled portobello,zucchini and squash salad.

The website notes the kitchenuses grass-fed beef and wild-caught seafood.

My companion was a littleworried that small plateswould mean certain hungerafter the meal was finished,but that was not the case.Another visit to Union HouseAmerican Kitchen is certainlyon the horizon.

Kern comes through for HornetsBy JASON ROSSI

[email protected]

VILLA PARK – There issomething about Willow-brook’s gym that suits BrianKern just fine.

The Hinsdale South juniorproved it as he scored a team-high 25 points to lead the Hor-nets to a 57-50 win on Dec. 12in a game that University of Il-linois men’s basketball coachJohn Groce watched in person.

“I was just on tonight,”Kern said. “I usually like thisgym. I like the rims. Everytime I play in this gym I shootpretty decent.”

Kern sank three of his fourfree throw attempts in the fi-nal minute, including a pair

after the Warriors had closedthe gap to 53-50, to help seal thewin for the Hornets (3-4 over-all, 1-1 West Suburban Gold).

He was 8-of-9 from thefield and 6-of-7 at the line inthe game, and he scored ninepoints in the third quarter,including the last five in theframe, to give South a 44-36lead heading to the fourth.

“He had a really good game.He took charge,” HinsdaleSouth head coach Brett Mooresaid of Kern. “It may not al-ways be super pretty, but hekeeps finding ways to get todouble figures on the score-board.”

Groce took in the game toget a first-hand look at South’sbig man Barret Benson and

Wil lowbrook sophomoreguard Alonzo Verge Jr., but itwas Kern that took commandof the game.

“[Our] defense played well,but Kern was hot tonight,”Willowbrook coach Chris Per-kins said. “He hurt us. We tookaway their No. 1 option [Ben-son], and Kern really hurt us.Next time around, we’ll haveto do a better job with him.”

Even though Kern lit upthe scoreboard, he was mostimpressed by the way the Hor-nets played defense. Southheld Willowbrook (4-4, 1-3) toits second-lowest point total ofthe season.

“We’ve been working ondefense [in practices], and itshowed tonight,” Kern said.

“Usually other teams are scor-ing 60 or 70 points against us.A 20-point difference is prettygood. We played with heart to-night. It was a good team win.”

The Hornets host DownersGrove South at 7:30 p.m. todayin a WSG game before headingto York’s Jack Tosh holidaytournament. They could onceagain face Lyons Townshipand Wheaton North at theTosh, teams they have alreadylost against during a toughearly stretch of games.

“We’ve played a toughschedule,” Moore said. “TheLT game we had a seven pointlead and we didn’t win. To-night we had a lead and weheld on and won. You can seeour team maturing.”
