Caley Ryan, 11, used that time to whisper something to her butterfly – a message for her dad, who died in August 2012. “I was really sad and emotional when he died,” Ryan said. “When I did the butterfly release, it made me feel much better that I knew that he was watching.” Ryan participates in a chil-

A group of girls celebrating a birthday at Salt Creek Butterfly Farm admire a Monarch butterfly. Lori Harris, owner of Salt Creek Butterfly Farm in Countryside, started providing Monarchs for butterfly releases last year after realizing how much the activity meant to families grieving a lost loved one or groups commemorating a special event.
CC • Wednesday, July 10, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life*
COUNTRYSIDE – Maybe Lori Harris didn’t make the connection at first because she spends many of her days with one of nature’s most beautiful and delicate species. But at some point last year, Harris realized the sighting of a butterfly takes on meaning beyond the obvious sensory experience of the insect’s vivid colors. People were telling Harris that they had seen a butterfly during a stressful time, and understood it as a message. “They take it as a sign that things are [going to be] fine,” said Harris, who owns and runs Salt Creek Butterfly Farm in Countryside. When she realized she had come upon a unique form of therapy, she decided to share it. As of last year, Harris supplies individuals or groups with Monarch butterflies that they release to honor a lost loved one, or to celebrate an event such as marriage. As part of The Gentle Butterfly program, Harris ships each Monarch in a glassine envelope placed in a climate-controlled package. The dark, cool setting causes the butterflies to sleep during travel. When they arrive, they must be kept in a similar environment to maintain their sleepy state. One hour before release, the envelopes are removed from the cool packaging to allow the butterflies to warm up and wake up. When taken out of the envelopes, the Monarchs usually sit on people’s

La Grange Craft Show looks to weather economy By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – From 2003 to 2008, Ruth Kopala was a regular at the La Grange Craft Show. She sold her handmade, stained-glass pieces every year at the summer event, which is one of her favorites. Then, the economy tanked. “I wasn’t making any money,” said Kopala, a La Grange resident who has worked with stain glass for more than 15 years. “I’m hoping this will be the year.” Kopala will join about 175 vendors at the 39th annual La Grange Craft Show, which will be Saturday and Sunday along Harris Avenue. About half of the vendors this year are new – part of organizer Karen Yackley’s plan to feature handcrafted items. Yackley, a former craft vendor who has promoted craft shows since the late 1980s, took over the La Grange show after last year. Yackley’s insistence on ar-

Ruth Kopala, a La Grange resident who makes and sells stained-glass pieces, works in her studio. Kopala was a vendor at the La Grange Craft Show from 2003 to 2008 but stopped when the economy went south. She is returning to the show this year and hopes people have more discretionary income to spend on her work. tisan vendors is expected to give the show a boost. Based on the six shows she has or-
ganized this spring, Yackley has bad news for vendors. “This year is probably still
the worst year I have seen for exhibitors,” she said. “I’m not saying it’s bad for me, because you have so many people out of work, and they’re coming into the crafting business. That is good for me personally. But the crafters themselves don’t make nearly the money they used to.” Yackley said the craft show economy has declined steadily for about 15 years, from her observations. “People don’t have the extra income,” she said. “They’re spending it on necessities, not on anything that they don’t need.” Vendors pay $200 for a booth for the weekend, Kopala said. At some past shows, she didn’t make enough to cover the cost. The good news, potentially, is that La Grange’s show tends to signal a turning point for craft vendors, who do better in the fall than in the spring, Yackley said. “Craft shows always pick up, and I’ve had crafters tell me that this is the show
where their sales pick up,” she said. Dorn Cheske has found a way to survive the recession. Cheske is a silversmith from La Grange Park who teams with Nick Koclanes to sell jewelry. She has had a booth at the La Grange show for most of the past 10 years. Her trick: constantly featuring new work. “You have to reinvent yourself all the time,” she said. “We have different stuff at every show.” Kopala said she focuses on her tabletop meditative fountains, which she sells at shows and through her website, www.derglaswerks.com. Although plenty of people were interested in pursuing mediation, she said, many couldn’t afford to spend the $70 to $75 for one of her handmade fountains. “When the economy crunched, there was a lack of funds to indulge that interest,” she said. “Hopefully, things will pick up this year and get better.”
Fudge for Soldiers sends U.S. troops a taste of home By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Jean and Bruce Kuhn wanted to start a promotion at their Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory store that would benefit U.S. soldiers stationed overseas. They started sending fudge. Lots of fudge. Eight years ago, the couple decided to donate a pound of fudge to soldiers for every pound bought by customers at their store in July. They ship the rich treats via Lislebased Operation Support our Troops – America and time it so the fudge arrives around the holidays. In return, they ask for notes or photos of the soldiers enjoying their fudge. Jean Kuhn remembers the first letter. “I just sobbed,” she said. One soldier sent the Kuhns two U.S. flags that flew over Afghanistan attached to a Chinook helicopter from the 7-101st Aviation Battalion. Last year, a group of soldiers sent a video of

U.S. soldiers stationed in Afghanistan eat fudge sent from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in La Grange. The store’s owners, Jean and Bruce Kuhn, started sending a pound of fudge to soldiers each November for every pound purchased by customers at their store in July. themselves enjoying the fudge. Since Fudge for Soldiers started, the store has sent nearly 3,000 pounds of fudge overseas, primarily to soldiers in
Afghanistan, where the Kuhns’ nephew was stationed before returning recently. Three years ago, Rocky Mountain adopted the promotion nationally, and
last year, more than 60 franchise locations set about 8,000 pounds of fudge. “A lot of them don’t necessarily have family or friends
that can send them care packages,” said Kelsea Serrato, Rocky Mountain’s national marketing manager of troops stationed overseas. “[Fudge] is a taste of home. It’s something really traditionally American.” It’s also shipping-friendly: Fudge doesn’t melt until it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit. “It’ll get a little soft, but it won’t melt,” Serrato said. Stores offer customers note templates they can fill out to send a message to the soldiers, Serrato said. Locations that aren’t near an organization that can ship the fudge often donate money. “I think it’s just a really great way for the stores to interact with their community,” Serrato said. “We’re just really thankful to Bruce and Jean for coming up such a great program and lending us their idea.” The eighth annual Fudge for Soldiers is this month at the Kuhns’ Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory stores in La Grange and Orland Park.

Public works supervisor resigns after investigation By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@shawmedia.com HODGKINS – Officials in the village of Hodgkins confirmed July 3 that Eric Rice, supervisor of the Department of Public Works, has resigned after an investigation that showed he misused village funds. The Village Board met July 1 to discuss Rice’s termination, and a majority of trustees recommended his termination, according to village attorneys Tim Callahan and John O’Connell.
An investigation by the village found Rice used village funds in the amount of $3,261.32 for personal purchases made with a village-issued credit card. The purchases included a set of tires for a personal truck and the purchase of mulch for a private business, O’Connell said. The village wasn’t prepared to release a list of the purchases at this time, saying the investigation is ongoing. Eric Rice met with village President Noel B. Cummings on July 2 and handed in his
resignation before his termination, Callahan said. Rice also has repaid the total of the misspent funds to the village, village officials said. An investigation was begun by the village in June after the village clerk noticed irregularities in an invoice issued by Rice, Callahan said. The clerk brought the information to the attention of Trustee Paul Struve, who serves as liaison of the Public Works Committee. An investigation into the misuse of funds in the past two years by Rice was led by Callahan and
Trustee Phillip H. Kinglie. Rice has been employed by the village for 20 years, Callahan said. The village does not plan to broaden its investigation to look into the potential misuse of village funds for the first 18 years of his employment, Callahan said. Village officials also said they had no plans to launch a criminal investigation into Rice’s misuse of village funds. O’Connell said the Village Board decided not to pursue legal action because Rice resigned, the amount of funds misused was “a small amount of money” and when confronted, Rice was remorseful.
“He’s already been deprived of his livelihood; we think that’s enough,” O’Connell said. Rice’s father, Larry Rice, serves on the Village Board. O’Connell said Larry Rice was present at an executive session of the board Monday to discuss Eric Rice’s termination but did not make any comments during the meeting. “Larry Rice never made any statements to sway the board or the president,” O’Connell said. According to the village, its full investigation will be complete by Friday.

Andrew Whiting Memorial Park opens in Countryside By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com COUNTRYSIDE – The property on the southeast corner of 55th Place and Peck Avenue was the only one in its vicinity that regularly would flood. In fact, the village identified the piece of land as a deficiency in its master plan in 1996. So Sean McDermott, a city alderman for Ward 3, approached Denise Whiting in 2010 and asked whether she would sell the property to the city. Three years later, on June 28, McDermott and Whiting posed during a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Andrew Whiting Memorial Park, dedicated to Whiting’s son, Andrew, who
committed suicide in April 2006. The park includes a playground, open-air gazebo and a rain garden along its eastern edge that should help reduce flooding, McDermott said. But it also helps the city address a topic that often goes ignored. “By naming it after Andrew, we could raise awareness about suicide,” McDermott said. “We need to break down that stigma.” After selling the property, Whiting moved to a new house in the area. The park has received positive feedback from parents and grandparents who now don’t have to leave the neighborhood to bring kids to the park, McDermott said.

WESTERN SPRINGS – Two sets of iron-removal equipment in the village’s water network malfunctioned last week and had to be taken offline, the village said July 3. Residents might find dissolved solids in their water until the units are repaired, the village said on its website. Water also could be harder than normal, because the devices help to soften water. The village is waiting to receive equipment it ordered to clean one set of the iron-removal equipment, while plant operators and engineers are working to determine the cause of the fault on the other one.

Imagine” by John Lennon. Both performances were anti-war themed. A panel of judges deliberated the decision for the showcase a few weeks later. Fifteen other choreographers competed. The prize was a $1,000 certificate, opportunities to perform in Chicago and exposure for her company. Winning the award will be a good platform and will give her dance companies a lot of opportunities, she said. “I’m trying to find my place in Chicago,” she said. Her first professional show called “Judgment” will be July 18 to 20 at the Foundations Performance Center, 3903 Joliet Ave., and will feature 26 dancers from Chicago and surrounding areas. “Judgment” will have five lead characters telling a story through dance about their lives and challenges to show how people perceive one another. “You can’t pass judgment till you walk more in their shoes,” Jablonski said of the show’s theme.

Celebrating the Fourth of July with family fun SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Two fireworks shows around La Grange brought out crowds of families to celebrate the Fourth of July. At Waiola Park in La Grange, families enjoyed music provided by Lyons Township High School’s WLTL radio station. The DJ coordinated tunes to the fireworks display from the La Grange Country Club. Plenty of picnickers were seen in the park too, enjoying the day off with their families. The Pleasentdale Park District celebrated with its Independence Day Celebration at Walker Park in Burr Ridge. The display always brings out area residents from near and far. For photos, check out www.mysuburbanlife. com/LaGrange.

Art and the library at Westchester Over the last six months, the Westchester Public Library has displayed works of art and photography on our new Art Wall. You may remember we initially featured the library’s “Prairie Mural Project,” a four canvas landscape painted by Youth Librarian Julie Yekel and youth volunteers, on the COMMUNITY Art Wall. The mural depictVOICE ed the Wolf Road Prairie Ryan throughout the changing seasons. Flores During May and June, the Art Wall featured an exhibit from the Salt Creek Camera Club. The group provided 30 pieces, which showed an array of beautiful photographs of various familiar themes. Both exhibits proved to be popular as library patrons, both old and new, stopped to admire the work. Our Art Wall exhibit will run from June 22 through the end of July, and displays the work of award-winning Evanston-based artist Karen Perl. The exhibit, titled “Chicago,” includes 13 oil and watercolor paintings of famous local landmarks. Two particularly striking paintings are oils on canvas, “Buckingham Fountain” and “Skyline View from the Planetarium.” A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Perl has displayed her work in professional exhibitions since 1982. She works primarily in oils and watercolor, focusing on portraits of houses, pets, people, cityscapes and notable landmarks. According to her professional statement, Perl tries “to express the spirit of the subject, as it has presented itself to me.” To view a complete list of Perl’s paintings and her achievements, visit www.karenperl.com. We want to remind you that the Westchester Public Library encourages local artists and photographers to display their work, too. Anyone interested can pick up a copies of our exhibit waiver and exhibit policy, both of which are available at the Adult Reference Desk, or from the library director. Exhibits from nonprofit organizations, government agencies and local professional artists also will be considered, though priority will be given to Westchester residents. With the success of the first three Art Wall exhibits, the Westchester Public Library staff eagerly awaits what future exhibits that will grace our wall.

n THIS WEEK’S WEB POLL
8OUR VIEW
Village must look into misuse of funds Recently, it was brought to Suburban Life’s attention that an employee of the village of Hodgkins was being investigated for the misuse of village funds. In June, a village official learned that an employee of the Public Works Department, Eric Rice, had made purchases with village funds for personal expenses. On July 3, the village confirmed to Suburban Life that Rice had bought tires for a personal truck, as well as other items, in the amount of $3,261.32. Village officials have said they have no plans to investigate beyond the last two years of his purchases on a village credit card – even though Rice has worked for the village for 20 years. They also will not pursue criminal charges in the case because, they say, the money was a small amount stolen. Additionally, Eric Rice’s father, Larry
Rice, who sits on the Board of Trustees of the village, was allowed to participate in an closed-session meeting of the board to discuss Eric Rice’s possible termination. While we have learned of no influence Larry Rice may have exhibited over the board’s decision, we believe he should have recused himself from participating in the meeting due to the obvious conflict of interest it presented. We believe the village should launch of full investigation into purchases made by Rice during any time he had access to village funds. The misuse of taxpayer money is a serious offense – not only because it is theft, but also because it erodes the public trust. We encourage the village of Hodgkins to look deeper into the theft of public money.
8LETTERS Westchester should give grant for research To the editor: The village of Westchester finally recognizes the historical work of Shirley Slanker, but still denies her a research grant. In the July 2013 issue of the village of Westchester newsletter, the editor, police officer Sam D. Pulia, mentions Shirley Slanker’s contributions. But, she has received no grant for archiving, to microfilm or digitize documents, issues of the Westchester News, Matt Hendrickson, news editor mhendrickson @shawmedia.com 630-427-6254
for example. The village of Westchester could use hotel/motel tax revenue as a historical research grant to her. She and her late husband, Robert, published the Westchester News for two decades. They publicized the only two tourist destinations in Westchester - Wolf Road Prairie and the 1853 Franzosenbusch-Nelson Schoolhouse. Hotel/motel tax revenue is to be used only for tourism-related purposes. Preserving Westchester
tourism, as contained in the Westchester News, is a just and fitting use of the hotel/motel tax revenue. Why does the Village Board deny historical research grants to the families who have preserved Westchester history for the past half-century and more? Why isn’t the list of village of Westchester presidents on the Wall of Honor in the Village Hall? I spent six months working on it. Sincerely, Lowell M. Seida, Westchester

Tom’s son, Randy, is more interested in slot cars and model cars, Tom said. His daughters, Tia and Abigail, both had an interest in Playmobile and Breyer Horses when they were younger, he said. Both of the girls have worked in the store behind the register. “They’ve been good cashiers over the years,” he said. What’s hot in the model railroad world these days? Svetska said things are getting pretty high-tech these days. “They’s added a lot more
electronics, digital sounds, remote controls,” he said. “They have a controller now that can be operated with an iPhone. You can download sounds.” Lego’s still are a big seller as well. “They revived that pretty well,” Svetska said. “They have all these themes: ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Harry Potter.’ That might be one of the hottest toy lines at the moment for kids. If your talking about 3-yearold’s, we’re talking about Thomas the Train.” Still, the kid in them brings many adults into the store. “Adults use their kids as an excuse to buy a train set; we see that every day,” he said. “We may have more adults buying trains than kids, reliving their childhood.”

The fireworks on this side of Lisle has been turned into a war zone for us the past several years.

BERWYN – Tom Svetska and his brother Larry were afflicted with the model train and slot car illness since they were young. As they grew into adulthood, it only got worse. Berwyn’s Toys & Trains, 7025 Ogden Ave., is what can happen if left untreated. The store is a dream come true for model railroad enthusiasts and hobbyists, young and old alike. It caters to those who love one the great American hobby of model making. In business since 1992, the store first opened in the strip mall at 2872 Harlem Ave. south of 26th Street. The owner of the strip mall kept asking him what he thought
about opening a store in the mall. Tom was working at Berwyn Pet Supply in the mall at the time. “I told him to make me an offer,” Svetska said. The offer was made: six months rent for free followed by 18 months with the rent set at $500 for two store fronts. “I was in my third year at Loyola, and I kind of jumped out of school and started the business,” Svetska said. “Everything took off, and it turned out alright.” He does, however regret not finishing school. Tom Svetska, 42, was studying marketing. Larry Svetska, 45, graduated with a degree in accounting, and their father, Frank, taught marketing at Loyola. A lifelong hobby of trains,

Restaurant reviews
Freddy’s Pizza serves quality Italian by the pound CICERO – Freddy’s Pizza in Cicero has an unassuming exterior that certainly doesn’t scream fine Italian dining. The sign looks like it hasn’t changed in decades, and typical black metal furniture fills the patio packed with patrons. Through the doors is a scene most commonly found on the streets of Rome. Cured meats hang from the ceiling, while loaves of fresh-baked bread and rows of Italian goods line shelves. Instead of a menu, there are large platters of whatever was cooked that day. Trays of ravioli, salads, gelato and other dishes adorn counters as employees and customers jostle for position and food. Food is weighed and priced by the ounce – the old “say when.” My fellow diner and I were in heaven. We are Italian food lovers, having separately spent time in the country. What to order? We watched our fellow customers. They chatted with the friendly and helpful staff and each other in a way that only locals could – pointing and getting samples of things they were unfamiliar with or undecided on. Eventually, we opted for a little of a lot of things. First, we shared a Caprese salad with a side of salami. The mozzarella clearly was fresh, with a mild tang and wonderfully spongy texture. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe with a bit of crunch to them, and the olive oil in which it was bathed was exquisite. The salami had just enough saltiness to add a lot of flavor. Next was a ricotta gnocchi in a tomato cream sauce. The potato pasta was unbelievably soft, and the sourness of the ricotta was the absolute star of the dish. The mild sauce kept the emphasis on the gnocchi and creamy cheese. And the sauce had us sopping up the leftovers with chewy fresh bread. We couldn’t resist grabbing a piece of pizza: a slice with olive, artichoke and prosciutto. The toppings were high quality, and the crust chewy and crispy. The fresh cheese, lightly seasoned tomato sauce, salty pork, olive and artichoke just worked. The last piece of dinner was a fried rice ball called an arancini, a personal favorite. The outer layer of light breading was perfectly crisp, and the inside was filled with a combination of rice, tomato, spinach and melty cheese that speaks to your soul. Fried rice balls are one of the great guilty pleasures in

On the Web To see photos from Freddy’s Pizza, find this story online at PlanitLife.com/ mysterydiner life, and these were some of the better ones I’ve had this side of the Atlantic. Speaking of guilty pleasures, my friend and I couldn’t resist a last one. Not only does Freddy’s serve homemade gelato, but it serves gelato sandwiches. On bread. Really.
A scoop and a half of gelato on a special sweet bread is lightly toasted, cut into quarters and sprinkled with powdered sugar and chocolate sauce. How it works, I’m not sure. The different layers of sweetness each add a little something: creamy sweetness from the gelato, savory sweetness from the bread, and the dark sugary sweetness of the chocolate play together in a way that needs to be tried to be believed. For patrons dining in, there are tables inside and on the patio at Freddy’s Pizza, Gelateria and Italian Grocery. Another big plus about Freddy’s? That feast of fine Italian eating came without breaking any piggy banks.

Meg Kowalski of La Grange did not drop a set en route to winning a singles title at the USTA Midwest Outdoor Closed Championships on June 27 in Michigan.
Midwest champ By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com You never know what a little kids will dig up when they go exploring. It could inspire a lifelong interest or something they are a natural at. When Meg Kowalski was 3 years old, she found a tennis racket while her mom was cleaning out the garage and was instantly fascinated with it. Now, Kowalski, a La Grange resident who attends Park Junior High School, is a budding tennis sensation. She won the girls
14-and-under division of the prestigious USTA Midwest Outdoor Closed Championships on June 27 in Okemos, Mich. The tournament draws players from five states and is only open to players who have earned enough ranking points from other USTA junior events to make the 128-player draw. Kowalski won seven matches at the six-day tournament and beat Elysia Bolton of Lake Forest 6-1, 6-4 in the final. In her seven victories, Kowalski didn’t drop a set. “It was definitely a big deal for me because I’ve competed
La Grange eighth-grader Kowalski wins prestigious USTA championship
in that tournament for four years and I haven’t gotten that close,” Kowalski said. “My game has definitely gotten much better because I’ve been working probably my hardest. I was mentally and physically prepared for this big tournament. I didn’t feel much pressure on me.” A level-headed approach like that isn’t always found in kids not yet in eighth grade. Kowalski further showed off her mental game by talking about how she likes to construct points. From the time she picked up that racket for the first time
in the garage, she has pursued her love of the sport and developed into an elite player. “She really had some great hand-eye coordination so I called around to see who would take her and they let her sign up for lessons,” said Meg’s mother, Mattie Kowalski. Mattie says Meg was originally more into gymnastics and soccer, which she still plays for the La Grange Celtics. After playing at Score Tennis and Fitness in Countryside, Kowalski found her way to Hinsdale Racquet Club almost a year ago where she
blossomed. “The coaches are so good there and it just fits me a lot better,” Kowalski said. “My serves have definitely gotten a lot harder. I’ve learned to do more with my serve, aim it better and get some spin.” Big national tournaments in Georgia, Arizona and Florida still are ahead on her schedule during the next year. After that, Kowalski, whose favorite player is the recently retired Kim Clijsters, is looking forward to joining the Lyons Township High School program and being a part of a team.

Disc golf draws more people to local parks By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com Disc golf is a growing sport and courses are popping up all over the Chicago area and the country in recent years. A c c o r d i n g t o dgcoursereview.com, a website that pools information about courses with an emphasis on player reviews similar to how yelp.com works for restaurants, there are 190 courses in Illinois and 4,267 in the United States. Most of those are free public courses built on park district land, but there are some private courses as well. Molex’s Lisle Campus had a nine-hole course built in 2010. Edgebrook Golf Course in Chicago has a set of 18 baskets set up on the golf course that allows players to play alongside golfers, and even rent a cart, as long as they are willing to pay for a round. Some courses have been around since the 1970s – West Park in Joliet was created in 1979 – but as the popularity of the sport has grown demand for courses has gone up. Among the 15 courses in the western suburbs, 11 were built since 2005 and six since
2010. “The last five years was a great growth period for disc golf,” said Cathy Kamm, a Lombard resident that designs courses with her husband, Mike, under the name Midwest Disc Golf. “Park Districts are looking for disc golf now. It used to be disc golfers looking for courses.” Kress Creek Farms in West Chicago is an example of a newer course built by a park district. West Chicago Park District Executive Director Gary Major said it was a simple story as to why they put in the 18-hole course in 2011. “We had 50 acres of land, but it had topography and trees on it,” Major said. “We had good space for it.” Since disc golf doesn’t require maintained greens and since flat, open land is typically undesirable, Kress Creek Farms was an ideal fit. Major said it was a relatively inexpensive venue to create and volunteers helped install the course. “It’s an activity a lot of people can play,” he said. “We get very good usage.” As disc golf continues to grow its cult-like following, more courses are likely to

Players can play competitively or casually. Colleen Thompson, a student at Illinois State University, is taking the competitive route. Thompson is participating at the Amateur Disc Golf World Championships this week in Kansas and has
been playing the sport for six years, the last four competitively. According to Thompson, whose favorite courses include Trinity Links in Lockport and Highland Park in Joliet, the sport has several appeals.
“For the most part, it’s a cheap opportunity; the parks are mainly free to play,” she said. “And a wide variety of people can play. Your whole family can play, from a 5-yearold to a 70-year-old. Plus it’s a way to get out and get exercise.”
Local disc golf courses SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
Minus the expense of equipment, disc golf courses are generally free to play. Several local park districts have courses installed at their parks, all of which are free.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948. Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948. Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain. In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.” There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
