Maine Township Food Pantry planned to distribute 150 frozen turkeys, gravy, canned cranberries, stuffing and canned sweet potatoes to area residents. To help with distribution for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Cook County Sheriff's Department will be sending police officers to help the Maine Township Food Pantry, and boys from Notre Dame College Prep in Niles will also volunteer. 'We were very happy to hear that," Maine Township Supervisor Carol Teschky said. Monetary support allowed the Niles Township pantry to purchase the main meat dish in the holiday packages. Dessert was provided in part by Market Day customers. Skokie/Morton Grove School District 69 annually facilitates apple and pumpkin pie donations to the pantry. Each pie purchased in November earns extra funds for the district's parent teacher organization "but many of our families would rather give to those in need than order for themselves," said Market Day Chair Laura Ferrigno. But it's during just holidays the pantries provide food for community members: In 2011, the Maine Townships pantry, located at Maine Township Town Hall in Park Ridge, provided food for 4,770 adults and 1,834 children. "They are all local and they have to be pre-qualified," said. According to Teschky three years ago there was a big increase in the number of people in need of assistance and it's been pretty stable since that time. In the past five years the Niles Township pantry has seen a 30 to 40 percent jump in the number of clients, Wagner said. Last month 3,700 Niles Township residents benefited from the food assistance program. While the increased need may be due in part to a larger facility and

operation, Wagner acknowledged, there's no denying families have fallen on hard times as a result of the economic downturn. "I think there are more people who are pushed to the ends of their limits and need to seek help," said Wagner. "This recovery process is taking a long time." The Niles Township Food Pantry is a beneficiary of the federal Emergency Food Assistance Program through the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Yet government cutbacks in funding and food have caused the pantry to rely more on the local community. Individuals and groups have graciously stepped up to challenge, Wagner said. "We are very fortunate because the organizations and community as a whole have been very generous," said Teschky. Messiah Lutheran Church in Park

Ridge has been donating food items to the Maine Township Food Pantry for more than 20 years. Jennifer Schneider, office administrator at Messiah, said that children bring food items every week. "They put it on the altar as part of their chapel service," she said. Last year during a national event called Souperbowl Sunday, the church raised $1,186 and collected a little more than 1,000 food items for the Maine Township Food Pantry. During Lent, the Messiah Child Care Center collects pennies and donates $400 to $800 in change to the pantry. "They do a lot of hard work," Schneider said of the staff and volunteers who make the Maine Township Food Pantry a success. The Niles Township Food Pantry recently added extended hours to its pick-up schedule to allow working families to drop by in the evenings. Though their circumstances may not be ideal, beneficiaries of the food program often feel thankful for what they are given. "They are just so grateful to be able to go some place with a great atmosphere and great attitude to get some food to take home to their families," Wagner said. U

Action plan to be presented in December BY TRACY GRUEN I Contributor

If You Go

The unveiling of an Environmental Action Plan for the Village of Nues is scheduled for a Dec. 4 open house at the Nues Public Library.

What: The unveiling of an Environmental Action Plan for the Village of Niles When: 4:30-7 p.m. Dec. 4 Where: Nues Public Library, 6960 w. Oakton St.

The document, which includes eight goals for future sustainability, will be presented at the upcoming open house. Residents are encouraged view the plan from

4:30-7 p.m. at the Nifes Public Library, 6960 W. Oakton St. Beginning with a public meeting this summer, members of the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) utilized the recommendations received from residents and then created a

plan document. The plan coyers land use and development, transportation and mobility, open space, waste, water, energy, greenhouse gases, and education. Under each of these sections, the plan indudes recommendations and implementation strategies. "Niles is really one of the first communities in our region to create a plan like this," said Kristin lhnchak, senior planner for CMAP. "They're being very proactive to create a plan like this." At the open house, lhnchak said the public will be able to view posters that summarize recommendations of the plan.

She said they can make comments to or ask questions of the CMAP and village staffs, who will be on hand. CMAP received a $4-million federal grant to provide technical assistance, so the plan costs Niles nothing. The village formed a steering corn-

mittee to work with CMAP on the plan, which includes members of the Environmental Practices Committee, local businesses and representatives of other local groups. "Their feedback has been very helpful for us," lhnchak sa Id.

In addition to providing assistance for the plan, CMAP

District 67 officials looking at new referendum BY NI CK KATZ I nkatz@pioneeriocahcom

Golf Elementary School District 67 officials may go out for another tax hike referendum in February, but they to make a decision this month. The school board needs to decide by Nov. 26, the end of the filing period for the Feb. 26 election, whether to place a tax increase referendum on the ballot. The decision to place it on the February ballot also

hinges on whether Morton Grove Trustee Dan DiMaria runs against Mayor Dan Staackmann in the primary for the nomination of the Morton Grove Action Party for the office of mayor.

Re-entering the 'Twilight' zone: Fans mourn the sunset of film saga BY JENNIFER JOHNSON I [email protected]

PARK RIDGE

All angst-ridden teenage vampire romance movie phenomenons must come to an end. We were prepared for it, my fellow Twihards and I, as the final chapter in the Twilight series, 'Breaking Dawn Part 2," opened Nov. 15 at Park Ridge's Pickwick Theatre. We'd read our books until the pages starting falling out, we bought the ridiculous posters and fanzines, we stocked up on every song ever recorded by Muse and some of us (I'm not saying who) even flew all the way to San Diego to see the cast at Comic Con this summer. But we still weren't quite ready for the whole "ending" thing. After all, this is a film that has the tagline "Forever," the allure of immortality at its center. There must be some way to

keep this going, right? If there was sadness among the predominately teenage audience about "Twilight" reaching its cinematic conclusion, there was also a buzz of excitement. When free "Breaking Dawn" T-shirts were thrown into the crowd girls screamed as though the shirts would turn into Robert Pattinson. "I'm a little sad it's going to be over, but I'm really excited to finally see the finished

product because l've been building ¡t up in my mind since I finished the book," 18-yearold Giuliana Bartucci told me. In "Breaking Dawn Part 2," which follows the third part of the actual book, the heroine, Bella, has "died" giving birth to her half-human, half-vampire baby, Renesmee; has been reborn as a glamorous vampire; and is eager to resume her blissful life with her god-like, vampire husband, Edward. Of course, the inevitable angst is just around the corner. Most fans I spoke with - all of whom identified as Team Edward (is there another choice?) - said that if the "Twilight" books or films were to continue they would like

them to focus on Renesmee's life, including her unusual and, let's face it, borderline disturbng, bond with Jacob, Bellas best friend and one-time suitor. "I think it's sweet," Bartucci insisted of the story that Jacob is essentially Renesmee's soulmate and could end up falling in love with her when she's grown up. "lt could be creepy if it was anything other than supernatural, obviously. But since it's supernatural it's OK. And it's Taylor Lautner." "I thought it was creepy at first," admitted 15-year-old Stephany Barth. "lt will be cute

later on, but right now it's a little creepy." "Because you think of her as a baby!" Barth's friend Shannon Ernst, 15, noted.

But teens weren't the only ones eager to see "Breaking Dawn Part 2." "We've got three generations watching this movie," said Kimberly Peters, 32, who came with her daughter and her mother. Peters' mom, Karen, 56, said she got hooked on "Twilight" at the urging of her grand-

daughter - and her memories of running home from school to watch the vampire soap

opera "Dark Shadows." "She was telling me all about it....(l said), 'lt's the what? The Cullen family? I used to watch the Collins family," Karen Peters recounted. "So there's a lot of similarities." So what's next for the Twihards of the world? Until a new

chapter is written - or the incomplete "Midnight Sun" is finally published (please!) - it's back to re-reading the books and re-watching the films; now, of course, with a sense of nostalgia. 'We'll always be obsessed," Haleigh Sir, 17, told me. "We're true Twihards." U

City gangs reside in suburbs too NATASHA WASINSKI I Contributor

Park Ridge Police Chief Frank Kaminski's first gang encounter

didn't occur on the job.

Growing up on Chicago's Southwest Side, he crossed paths with rowdy boys known as the 58th Street Jung'e who declared a public park their stomping grounds. But Kaminski and his peers Police Chiefs Dean Strzelecki of Niles (left) and Frank Kaminski of never felt afraid, he said.

è

The housing crisis helped usher in the arrival of gangs in area communities. Horneowners who rent unse liable properties or leave houses abandoned may find them occupied by gang members. "Foreclosures are a serious problem," said Larry Bunyon, a Maine Township code enforcement officer who monitors gang graffiti. "They can become dangerous fast." Greg Jacobson, a senior detective with the Chicago Police Department's Gang Mission Team, said it is typical for city gangs to splinter and find refuge in suburbs. "They might not be doing their dirty work here," he said, "but there is a presence." Nues Police Chief Dean Strzeiecki said Niles has seen

fewer gang-related problems over the past few years because of proactive efforts. In 2008, Nues passed a crime-free multi-housing program to curb drug and other

criminal activity on rental properties. Village ordinance recommends landlords indude wording or an addendum in lease agreements that makes criminal activity a cause for eviction. A renter could be forced to vacate after a third incident, Strzelecki said.

Niles police have collaborated with law enforcement officials in surrounding areas to address a rise in gang graffiti. Other efforts like undercover narcotics work, increased traffic stops and initiatives that provide safe routes to school have also helped crack down on suburban gang activity, said Tony Brezniak, Cook County Sheriff's Police deputy area commander. Preventing youth from falling victim to gang life is another strategy for containing the spread of crime and one that requires the entire cornrnunity's involvernent, said Kaminski. U

van, 46, are such "heartless" and "evil" fraudsters, prosecutors say, that they drove one of their victims to suicide. The serial rip-off artists swindled dozens of victims on the South and West sides out of nearly $750,000 in home equity through several of their home repair firms between 2002 and 2006, even after they were convicted of fraud in state court and ordered to get out of the home repair business. Many of those victims - everyday people who Judge Ruben Castillo said "could not afford to lose this money" were in court to see the Sullivans finally jailed. The brothers were convicted in six cases where they promised to complete renovations, convincing horneowners to refinance to pay for the work then splitting before the work was completed. But more than 60 others will share the $711,000 in restitution Castillo ordered. During one emotionally charged speech at the Nov. 13 hearing, Roxanne Sarno said her aunt Francis Spinks was conned into signing over her home to the Sullivans on her deathbed. Pointing at the brothers as they sat

with their attorneys, she accused them of subsequently burning down the home for the insurance money. Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Pope later described how John Sullivan told 48-year-old Northbrook mom Elizabeth Kelleher he wanted to marry her, before defrauding Kelleher's mother

out of nearly $600,000. "Absolutely devastated" that the man she thought she would marry had left her mother reliant on food stamps, Kelleher "took her own life to be found by her sons," Pope said. The Sullivans, the prosecutor said, "were shameless and odious" when it carne to picking their victims. They

themselves admitted, "The older the better, the blacker the better," the prosecutor said. "They are horrific human beings," he said.

Representing John Sullivan, whose last address was in Arizona but who once lived in Northbrook, attorney Michael Leonard said while the Sullivans had run a "slipshod operation" they were guilty only of "a home repair fraud." Barry Sheppard, representing Dan Sullivan of Niles, added his client "would take a mulligan" if he could. He added "it's not for us to judge good and evil." Castillo scolded both attorneys for understating the seriousness of the Sullivan's crimes. Though only God could judge whether the Sullivans were to blame for Kelleher's death, the men caused "devastation" for their victims, Castillo said, adding both men seemed to think their previous court troubles were just the cost of doing business. "You got the wrong message," the judge told them.

Suspects nabbed for rash of burglaries [BY

Teen charged in Nues North student stabbing BY MIKE ISAACS I [email protected]

MIKE ISAACS I misaacs@pioneerlocalcom

SKOKIE Four people have been charged in connection with a more than three dozen burglaries of landscaping equipment ¡n various northwest suburban communities, police said. Two men, Sergio Gutierrez and Victor Labra-Figueroa, were both charged with 19 counts of burglary. Elisabeth Roldan was charged with five counts of burglary and Salvador Magdaleno was charged with two counts of burglary in connection with incidents in other towns. The addresses of the suspects were not released. Police said the charges came after local northwest suburban police departments in recent months experienced dozens of forced burglary to storage

trailer incidents where landscaping equipment was targeted. During the course of these investigations, suspects and suspect vehicles were developed, they said. Skokie police investigators participated in a multi-jurisdictional task force to investigate the incidents. The task force Nov. 11 conducted surveillance on the suspects and suspect vehicles, which were followed to two locations in Wheeling, they said. The suspects were apprehended after taking landscaping equipment from storage trailers. More than $35,000 in stolen landscaping equipment was recovered during the course of the investigation, police said.

A 17-year-old has been charged with aggravated battery in connection with the stabbing of a Niles North High School student Nov. 9 in Emerson Park on the 9500 block of Lawler Avenue. Togan Gundogdu, of 5037 N. Artesian Ave., Chicago, is in custody after a coordinated effort by police, Niles North High School, Skokie Hospital and the community, police said. The student, taken to Skokie Hospital after the stabbing, had already been released after sustaining a non-life threatening injury. According to police, they were called to Emerson Park at about 10:30 p.m. Nov. 9 after a report that 20 to 30

people were fighting in the park. Police found that no one was in the park when they arrived, but soon learned that a patient had been brought to the emergency room with a stab wound to his mid-section, police said. The stabbing apparently broke up the fight, police said.

According to a Skokie police report, students from Mather High School in Chicago and the two Nues Township high schools had assembled in the park to watch a fight between a Mather student and a Nues North student. AIthough the fight was only supposed to involve two students, police said, others got involved. The victim was stabbed with a sharp object that was not dentified, police said.

I made a mistake but was still left high and dry. In August, I took a flight on US Airways from Chicago to Charlotte, NC., where I was to continue to Dublin, Ireland, to see my teenage son play football. In Charlotte, I volunteered to give up my seat and take a different flight from Charlotte to Frankfurt, Germany, and then connect to Dublin on a Lufthansa flight. For this, I received a $900 voucher. They gave me two tickets for the new flights. I was put on the flight to Frankfurt and promised that my ticket from Frankfurt to Dublin was confirmed. But when I got to Frankfurt, Lufthansa said I was standby-only and they had no seats for three days. Lufthansa told me US Airways never should have issued a ticket, as all flights were oversold. I was essentially stranded. I had to get to Dublin. So I purchased tickets on a different airline. Afterward, I contacted US Airways to describe what happened and how they essentially dropped me off in Frankfurt. I was seeking the cost of the trip from Frankfurt to Dublin as compensation. I was told they were sorry and that the

Aldermen push for DL'S for undocumented immigrants

Lawmakers may cap wage increase for state workers

Post office reports record loss of $15.9B for year

Hispanic aldermen, white aldermen representing majority Latino wards and their City Council allies flexed last week the political muscle that helped seal President Barack Obama's re-election. Twenty-eight aldermen co-signed a resolution Nov. 15 urging the Illinois Legislature to extend driving privileges to undocumented immigrants. The state legislation they're pushing would offer, what AId. Joe Moreno (ist) called economic empowerment" to undocumented immigrants by requiring all Illinois drivers to be trained, tested, licensed and insured. That includes undocumented immigrants. They would no longer have to fear being pulled over for driving without a license and getting dragged into the deportation dragnet that has deprived more than 56,000 Illinois children of one or both parents. "This is really, what we call a 'triple bottom line ¡ssue.' lt's a justice issue. lt's a safety issue. And it's an economic issue," Moreno said. "We've got thousands of our fellow citizens drivng on the streets, going to work, taking their kids to school that don't have the proper licensing." The Nov. 15 City Hall news conference included nearly a dozen aldermen, including political heavyweights Edward M. Burke (14th) and Richard MelI (33rd), who represent Hispanic wards, I

Warning of unprecedented fiscal woes, Illinois lawmakers put public-sector unions on notice that they are considering capping wage increases. State Rep. John Bradley, a Marion Democrat among those sponsoring the House joint resolution, said the state has made too many financial promises it can't keep and must fight just to keep vital services and prevent a collapse of the public pension system underfunded by billions. "There is no magic pot of money that can be found to pay for all the things we want," he said. Goy. Pat Quinn's administration hasn't reached an agreement to replace an expired contract with the largest state employees' union, AFSCME. The House resolution would prohibit the Legislature from appropriating money for any wage increase over a yet-to-be-determined percentage. The House Revenue and Finance Committee heard testimony on the measure Nov. 15. Quinn's budget director Jerry Stermer cited the state's more than $8 billion backlog in overdue bills in making the case for broader fiscal constraint. Union representatives acknowledged the state's difficult finances but blasted the proposal, saying it restricted their right to negotiate a contract, and argued state employees shouldn't bear the burden of budget problems that politicians created.

The struggling U.S. Postal Service reported Nov. 15 an annual loss of a record $15.9 billion and forecast more red ink in 2013. The financial losses for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 were more than triple the $5.1 billion loss in the previous year. Much of the red ink was due to mandatory costs for future retiree health benefits, which made up $11.1 billion of the losses. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said the agency has reduced costs by boosting worker productivity. But he said the mail agency has been hampered by congressional inaction on a postal overhaul bill that would allow it to eliminate Saturday mail delivery and reduce its $5 billion annual payment for future health benefits. The Postal Service does not receive tax money but is subject to congressional control. lt remained unclear whether lawmakers would take up the postal bill before the end of the year. Rural lawmakers are resisting action, worried about closures of postal facilities in their communities. Congress is focused on a Jan. 1 deadline to avert across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts. Rep. Darrell Isa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and sponsor of the House bill, has said he believes postal legis-

1,000 WORDS I Jack Higgins

Truth about test scores will hurt Illinois parents and schoolkids, brace yourselves. Your collective sense of self-esteem is about to take a hit. For years, state elementary school test scores have been inflated, leaving the false impression that public school students are doing pretty well. Scores released Oct. 31 showed that 82 percent of students met state standards. Telling clues suggest otherwise. The biggest: The pass rate on the test for high school juniors is only 51 percent. No, our kids aren't getting dumber as they age. lt's the yardstick that's dumb. Those days are over. Next spring, grammar school students will have to jump a higher hurdle to meet state standards. Far more students will fall short and the average will drop well below 82 percent.

Is this heaven? No, it's Thanksgiving The kingdom of Heaven, the Bible tells us, ¡s like a banquet. If that is so, then we should all prepare to create a little bit of heaven Thursday as we gather around the Thanksgiving table. But what are the key ingredients, what's the recipe to make ¡t so? One key ingredient is preparing the feast. We all know the recipe for this great American tradition: Holiday turkey, stuffing, vegetables, potatoes and sweet potatoes. We also need a reason to celebrate. Historically, we remember the Piigrims and the first Thanksgiving at Plymouth Plantation. Whether it is myth or history, every American knows the story of how the survivors

Now that it is past, we hope to see a transition from petty political squabbles to compromise and solutions to our national issues. In a way, we're back in the 17th century, barely hanging on to our little space, thankful for the bit of social welfare that keeps us from going under, but determined to make our way in this land of plenty still. So on Thursday, as you bring out your banquet and your invited guests beam at your effort and you raise a glass in toast or bow your heads in prayer, try to remember that heaven is like a great banquet. Give thanks for all that you really have.

Education in Focus Circus Club entertaining for decades BY TRACY GRUEN I Contributor

PARK RIDGE

Big-top fun and excitement fills Maine East High School in Park Ridge during performances of the school's Circus Club. Through the 1970s and '80s, the Maine East Circus Club put on lengthy shows similar to the Ringing Brothers - complete with a trapeze, trampolines and the glamorous outfits. Decades later, the Circus Club is still going. Today, the club is composed of about 40 students who perform at the annual Variety Show and Homecom¡ng assembly. This year, the club features a freshman who is a contortionist. Betty Axelson-McClelland, leader of the Circus Club, said that in the earlier years there weren't as many athletic opportunities for girls so they had more time to hold practices and put on bigger shows. Today's Circus Club performances consist of tumbling stunts, vaulting, Acromaniacs and more. Anne Kaczkowski , a senior at Maine East, has been a member of the Circus Club since her freshman year.

"I like performing at the Homecoming assembly," said Kaczkowski, whose peers cheer as Circus Club members do tumbling tricks using the springboard and flip over mats that are stacked high during the Acromaniacs' act. Kaczkowski said she enjoys dressing up in "wigs and crazy pants and goofy mismatched clothing" during the Acromaniacs' act. Kaczkowski, a Maine East gymnast, said one of her m os t me mor abie experiences with the Circus Club was going to Chicago to learn how to do a trapeze act from professionals. Axelson-McCleIIand said the Circus Club not only offers a fun way to gain physical fitness but that the practices teach teamwork. "For some kids, it helps their self-confidence," she added. Axelson-McClelIand said that club members have varying degrees of gymnastics training and range

from beginners to competitive. "They get to experience things that they never would get to do," Axelson-McClelland said. Maine East Asssistant Principal Dino DiLegge said that Circus Club allows kids to be active in a safe environment. "The driving force is Betty Axelson," said DiLegge

about the success of the Circus Club. He noted Axelson is an Illinois Hall of Fame gymnastics coach. "Betty's the Mt. Rushmore of gymnastics in Illinois."

DiLegge added that Circus Club has attracted a lot of kids that otherwise may not have have participated in an extracurricular activity.

Twenty-two Niles West peer tutors made their first professional conference, the NCPTW from Nov. 2 through 4. The NCPTW promotes the teaching of writing through collaborative learning. Peer tutors and NCPTW professionals help students to become self-sufficient writers. NCPTW professionals are leaders in collaborative approaches, respond to the challenges of creating and operating writing centers, develop peer tutoring programs, and promote the work of their peer tutors. The following Niles West peer tutors presented at the conference. Vishna Patel and Shelby Rosin, "One Person, Many Perceptions: An Investigation of the Perceptions Others Have of Tutors"; Sheryl Cherian and Shana Nissan, "Perceptions of a First-Year Tutor: Age Versus Experience"; Simon Kim, Divya Shah and Eli Sherman, "The Teaching Blind-Date"; Anna Chirayil, Patrick Drozd, Kaylin Moy and Theodore Truong, "The Evolving Perception of a Tutor of Himself"; Max Collins, Patrick Liscio, Paula Saelim and Maya Sato, "Freed from Captivity: The Effects of Autonomy on the Maturity of a High School Tutor"; Narcis Ardelean, David Heller, Brandon Moy, Joel Nelson and Spiro Tsirikolias, "Tutors: A Work in Progress"; and Aqsa Junagadhwala and Alice Lee, "Ron Maxwell: Teacher, Mentor, Visionary." The keynote speaker for the conference was Colin Sato, a Niles West graduate who started in the Niles West Literacy Center his sophomore year. Sato has continued to tutor and research the act of tutoring and how it affects one's

understanding of tutor identity. i

Money is on your mind, so you'd best mind how you're spending it. Take another look at that holiday budget and see where you can make adjustments.

Resolving to revive an old friendship could open some old wounds. Are you sure you want to risk that? Think this through before making a commitment. Your need to know more about a new friend could lead to some startling revelations. Best advice: Keep an open mind about what you learn until all the facts are in. BORN THIS WEEK: Your loyalty to friends makes you a very special person to those whose lives you have touched.

Business Spotlight Indoor playground offers fun, exercise for kids BY TRACY GRUEN I Contributor

NI LES

Now that the first few snowflakes have fallen onto the ground, it may be the perfect time to check out Jump! Zone in Nues and have some indoor fun. Kids first bounced their way into Jump!Zone when it opened three years ago at its location at 6374 W. Howard St. "We have 12-themed inflatables," said Dena Pelkel, the manager of the Nues Jump! Zone. The indoor playground, in one large arena, features various bouncy houses that are popular among kids, including Dora the Explorer's Club House, a 28' King Crocodile slide, a 22' fire truck, Batman, a 22' pirate ship, a princess castle, basketball house, gumball machine, an amusement park, Jurassic adventure and more. Felkel said that Jump! Zone is an ideal place for kids ages 2 to 12 to have fun and burn off some steam, while parents can relax and watch television or use the free Wi-Fi. "We have some nice couches and chairs," said Felkel, who said the area for the parents is centrally located so parents can keep an eye on their kids in a comfortable environment. Jump! Zone offers various open play hours during the weekdays and on the weekends. Felkel said that during an average morning open play time there are

about 40 kids enjoying a fun way to

exercise indoors. However, the large arena can accommodate many more kids. "We have had camps that have come in with upwards of 200 kids at a time," said Felkel. Felkel said they are a great spot for birthday parties, sports parties, team events, school field trips, day care

outings, corporate team outings, bar and bat mitzvahs and more. "We always have staff in the arena to monitor for safety," said Felkel, about its daily operations. Felkel has managed children party facilities in the past and she has a background in special education. She said she has been very happy with

their location. "The Niles community has been very receptive and is a wonderful place to have a business," shared Felkel. She said their location that is sort of tucked away in an industrial area isn't always the easiest to find. "Once you find us you'll never forget us," said Felkel.

Making spirits bright Midwestern values shine in South Shore's 'A Christmas Story' tribute looking to start a new family tradition this holiday season, look no further than the shores of Indiana's Lake Michigan. One of the seasonal highlights along the South Shore is an exhibit based on the book and classic holiday movie, "A Christmas Story,' which was written by Jean Shepherd, who hails from Hammond, hid. "Our initial interest was to help visitors as well as residents in this iistance understand the very deep and rich history that Jean Shepherd has brought to our community and how he showcased our community to the world," said Speros A. Batistatos, president and chief executive officer of the South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority. "A Christmas Story" Comes Home exhibit will be on display through Jan. 6 at the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond. Animatronic window displays from Macy's in NewYork will feature the following six A Christmas Story" scenes: u The Higbee's Department Store Window u Flick's Tongue and the Thple Dog Dare

Celebrate a holiday favorite: The "A Christmas Story" Comes Home exhibit will feature anirnatronic window displays of famous A Christmas Story" scenes, such as Santa's Mountain at Higbee's, which ¡s shown here. The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 6 at the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond.

Mountain and slide down the slide, just like in the iconic scene from the movie. Batistatos feels that the whole event represents the values and traditions that many Midwestern families sham, and offers especially great appeal to those in the nearby areas ofWisconsin, illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Kentucky and Ohio. "We feel that this tells the story, albeit almost 30 years old, about our people . . . that we are hard-worldng, middle class and blue collar.We like to make things," he said. Located just 30 minutes away from the heart of downtown Chicago, the South Shore presents an ideal get-away for families who

are looking to enjoy the traditions of the holidays in a new way. " [Anyone within reading distance of this paper can] hop in the car and come down because it's a very reasonable ride, there's a lot of great restaurants in the community and there's just plenty to do outside of what they will experience here," he said. The South Shore is a region where "you can bring your families down and join our family," Batistatos said. "Become part of our family and share in the traditions that we've created over the past five years. "We think that the South Shore has a great, great offering of hospitality products for

year-round and we're convinced that once you take the time to come see us once, you're going to be long-standing customers of the region for years to come." To learn more about the South Shore, visit www. alongthesouthshore.com or http://weekaway.comlsouthshore/about-the-south-

Enhancing a long-time Hammond tourist aliraction building with a long past in Hammond is getting a fresh look. The Hammond CMc Center, a 4,500-seat facility that has hosted everything from rock concerts and boxing matches to the annual circus, is just getting started with its improvements. We have just finished Phase 1 of our fitness renovations which include brandnew men's and women's locker rooms that feature steam rooms and stand-up tanning booths in each. We also have a new activity room that may be used for different

Avenerable

functions.

There are a total of six phases to this renovation project, including: A new track entrance and a complete new track; a new workout room; west side activity rooms and racqietha1l courts; and aLso an east side activity room as well as a new entrance. These phases will be done as the funds become available and not in any consecutive order.

Personallze the holidays

Handmade. a perfect g It seems as if homemade holiday gifts have become passé mainly macaroni artwork from kids to their parents or the rare ugly scarf/sweater/knitwear from an aunt. How about we change all that this year?

-

I'm not saying you can't give your loved one that store-bought gift they wanted, but let's add a little something extra to your gift giving this year. Here are three types of ornaments that are budgetfriendly, easy to make and look adorable. Plus, these would make a great host or hostess gift for all those parties you're going to be attending in the coming weeks. There's the melted

Remove the top of the ornament. Pour enough of the Pledge - which is super sticky - into your ornament so that it will coat the inside. Roll the Pledge around inside of the ornament - don't shake it or you will get bubbles - and then pour the excess back into the bottle. Take your funnel and use it to pour about two tablespoons of glitter into the bottom. To coat the ornament's inside, first fully cover the opening, then roll the ornament around and also shake up and down. Pour out any excess glitter, Let the ornament dry for an hour before putting the top back on. Super fine glitter coats the inside of the ornament the best, but all types of glitter will work.

Thanks giving leftovers BY VERONICA HINKE I Contributor

Come Thanksgiv¡ng weekend, we'll

Chef and restaurateur John des Rosiers creates a Modern Shepherd's Pie and Hot Sweet & Sour Soup made with leftover Thanksgiving Day ingredients. MICHELLE LAVIGNE-Sun-Times Media

be tripped out on tryptophan. But somehow it won't be a challenge to muster enthusiasm for hauling out the remains of the bird for yet another meal. Turkey - and all the trimmings - just seems better the second time around. And chefs everywhere have caught onto Black Friday gourmet fare. While their recipes might not compare to that perennial midnight tip-toe into the kitchen for a refrigerator-lit pull off the cold turkey bone, they are no sloppy seconds. "I actually like turkey cold," said Big Bowl Executive Chef Marc Bernard. "Turkey picks up a funny flavor when it's reheated." Bernard's favorite remainsof-the-day sandwich ¡s cold turkey, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce layered on toasted ciabatta bread. He likes to add unsalted Ker-

rygold butter to the bread.

(Adapted from Chef John des Rosiers) STUFFING MIXTURE:

All turkey bones, cut into 2-inch pieces i large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 large carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces 3 stalks of celery, cut into 1-inch pieces 2 cups sake (or white wine, but sake is best)

2 cups leftover stuffing i egg 3 tablespoons butter i teaspoon fresh thyme

Des Rosiers presses stuffing down so that it will make a crust when baked for a Modern Shepherd's Pie.I MICHELLE LAVIGNE-Sun-Times Media

Dry stuffing in oven for 2-3 hours at 270 degrees (long enough to dry out the stuffing to make bread crumbs); grind in food processor until fine. Cornbine with egg, butter and thyme to make a crumb mixture. Set aside. PIE:

i ½ cups stuffing mixture 2 cups pumpkin puree, or sweet potato puree i teaspoon garam masala spice 1/2 cup onion, sliced and sautéed

Sometimes, he makes cranberry butter, using a paddle attachment on a mixer to soften the butter and adding cranberries that have soaked ¡n hot water for 10-15 minutes. "You'll have a beautiful, pink color," he said. A bit of orange zest adds a zip of flavor. Meanwhile, Chef John des

(Adapted from Chef John des Rosiers) . TURKEY STOCK:

2 cups turkey breast meat, julienned i cup sauce or gravy i cup celery, chopped into ½-inch pieces /2 cup stuffing mixture 5-6 slices Carr Valley (Bessie's Blend) cheese Sea salt and Tellicherry black pepper, to taste

Place stuffing mixture in bottom of pot, packing firmly and evenly on bottom. Layer remaining ingredients in order listed. Season each layer with a touch of salt and pepper. Bake at 325 degrees until center ¡s hot (approximately 35-45 minutes). If the top crumble and cheese is not slightly browned, broil for just a minute to get color.

Combine all into large pot. Bring to simmer and cook sake until there is no aroma of alcohol, about 10 minutes. Fill pot with 11/2 gallons of water. Simmer for three hours, strain and set aside stock. Throw away bones and vegetables. SOUP:

1 gallon turkey stock 3-4 cups turkey meat, from legs preferably, cut into ½-inch pieces 2 cups onion, sliced into ½-inch pieces 2 cups celery, sliced into '/4-inch pieces 1/4 cup fresh ginger, chopped finely 1 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed y8 cup Thai chile paste 1/8 cup soy sauce

2 cups cranberry puree

Combine all ingredients except for cranberry puree in large pot. Bring soup to simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Ladle soup into bowls and garnish each with tablespoon of cranberry puree.

Rosiers - chef/proprietor of Moderno in Highland Park; Inovasi ¡n Lake Bluff; and Wisma outposts in Lake Bluff, Libertyville and Chicago's

West Loop - will be taking a break from the kitchen while on vacation in Holland this Thanksgiving. But he has supplied relatives with a few ideas

for repurposing leftovers. His recipe for Hot Sweet & Sour Soup, made with turkey meat, ¡s a Thanksgiving nod to Asia, while his Modern Shepherd's Pie recipe tips a Pilgrim's hat toward England. The pot pie gets a special

flavor accent from Tellicherry pepper, which is named for the city on India's Malabar Coast where it originates. It is one of the only ingredients that might require a special pop out to the grocery store. "I developed these recipes

just by thinking about the ingredients most people have in their kitchen after Thanksgiv¡ng," des Rosiers explained. "We always have too much

food after the holiday, and these are creative, easy ways to use it."

coming 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid and the battery electric 2013 Honda Fit EV both use the automaker's new electro-hydraulic braking system in coordination with the generator to stop the car. Electro-hyd.rau]ic braking (Honda calls it Electric Servo Braking) is brake-by-wire.

EV until now.

Electro-hydraulic braking has been done before. Mercedes-Benz applied the technolog'j to many of its cars in the early 2000s, but customers hated the erratic response. When it introduced new versions of those cars, they arrived with familiar, comfortable, conventional brakes. At the launch of Mercedes' flagship SLR supercar following a morning of tearing across the countryside, I nearly rear-ended the SLR parked ahead of me when the computerized brakes ignored the gentle pressure I applied while trying to park smoothly. After a brief bit of panic and a slam on the pedal, the SLR stopped, just short of the equally expensive supercar ahead. Why does Honda's system work better than the one Mercedes used? Honda says it has a new brake pedal sensor that is more accurate at measuring the driver's intent.

Anyone who has driven an electric vehicle or a hybrid has noticed that the brakes feel weird. Even after some getting used to, the nonlinear, unpredictable response from "regenerative brakes" can make experienced The brake pedal doesn't send pressurized dnvers look like student drivers, especially at hydraulic fluid to calipers at each wheel. parking lot speeds when the problem seems Instead, it sends an electronic request to a to be at its worst. computer that evaluates the pedal pressure The issue is that the generator is trying to get and speed of application, matches it against as much power as it can from the wheels while vehicle speed and considers the effect of the the brakes are trying to figure out how much regeneration of electricity under way.

It also pushes back using a pedal force simulator, like a force-feedback video-game joystick, giving the driver realistic brake feel instead of the disconnected feeling typical of "by-wire" electronic controls. Together, regenerative braking and electro-hydraulic braking are perfectly suited to one another, thanks to expert matchmaking by the computer and improved communication courtesy of the pedal force simulator. This doesn't make hybrids or EVs much more efficient, but it does make them more invisible when they are recapturing energy. As electric drive technology becomes more commonplace in response to new government corporate average fuel economy standards, improvements like this one from Honda will welcome drivers of conventional cars to the world of hybrids and EVs with a familiar driving experience.
