population, Zeigler added. Blanding’s turtles in the wild have about a 2 percent chance of reaching maturity due to predators such as raccoons and herons. Brookfield Zoo received a group of young Blanding’s turtles from the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County that will be housed at Dragonfly Marsh in the predator-proof area until ready for release. Typically, turtles raised by

people before being released into the wild have an even lower survival rate than wild turtles do, but Brookfield Zoo is taking important precautions to condition the turtles for their discharge. Unlike other rearing programs, the turtles will go through normal seasonal cycles by remaining outdoors all year at a small off-exhibit pond on the zoo’s grounds. This will help prepare them

for life in various weather and habitat changes. The space at the zoo replicates the turtles’ natural habitat and will be filled with native plants and logs. The turtles will forage on their own for food sources, such as snails, slugs and small fish. Although food is supplemented, the turtles will hunt for it themselves and not be handled. “We are proud to work

BSL

BROOKFIELD — Brookfield Zoo has developed a program for a turtle species that have difficulty surviving in the wild by creating an ideal environment for their repopulation of the area, according to zoo officials. The Chicago Zoological Society has teamed up with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County for a repopulation and release program of Blanding’s turtles at Brookfield Zoo to increase the local wild population. Blanding’s turtles are endangered in Illinois and threatened nationwide. The society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, has created a breeding and release program that includes an outdoor Blanding’s turtle habitat at the zoo’s Dragonfly Marsh exhibit. The program will allow staff to develop and improve breeding and rearing techniques that will increase the species population and ability to survive on release. In the fall, 12 turtles will be released in DuPage County forest preserves to improve the population. “This is a key indicator species of the overall health of the area’s wetlands,” said Bill Zeigler, senior vice president of collections and animal care for the zoological society. He also serves on the board of directors for the Turtle Survival Alliance, an organization that works to protect turtles worldwide. Fostering a sustainable population through breeding is an important step to increase the Blanding’s turtle

with Brookfield Zoo on this and champion the survival of Blanding’s turtles,” Dan Thompson said, ecologist for the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, in a news release. “Local wetlands, and the plant and animal ecosystem within them, improve our water quality and our understanding of the world around us.” In addition to the planned release, Brookfield Zoo has created an off-exhibit breeding space for Blanding’s turtles that will house 30 to 40 female turtles. The turtles there could potentially produce 250 to 300 hatchlings per year. The species is a wetlands turtle and requires a marshy water area as its main habitat; however, females lay eggs in upland areas. The space at the zoo will provide both types of terrain to encourage breeding. Blanding’s turtles can live up to 85 years old, but do not reach sexual maturity until roughly 13-15 years of age. This slow maturation is also paired with the fact that Blanding’s turtles lay a small clutch of eggs — around 12 to 13 at a time. Other turtle species can lay as many as 60 to 70 eggs at once. To add to the decreased survival rate, there has been an increase in the number of Blanding’s turtle predators in the area. Another issue affecting Blanding’s turtles is people continue to change and try to control water levels in different areas. Hatchlings require a marshy area with low water, but people alter the natural landscape, which can shrink or eliminate Blanding’s turtle habitats.

Local fans play volleyball with the Jonas Brothers By LAUREN HILL hill@shawmedia.com Before Justin Bieber, the Jonas Brothers ruled the pop scene. Brothers Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas filled the airwaves with hits like “S.O.S.” and “Hold On.” The band has toured all over the world since their debut in 2007, according to the band’s website, and sold a combined 20 million units throughout the world and earned over 40 Gold and Platinum records. Aimee Dobry of La Grange and Angelina Gradilla of Brookfield have cumulatively seen the Jonas Brothers in concert 23 times. They have met them a total of 9 times, and now they can say they have played volleyball against them. These diehard fans won the Kiss FM Jonas Brothers Contest on July 8, giving them the chance to play volleyball against the Jonas Brothers at Castaways Bar & Grill in Chicago. The girls heard about this concert from a tweet on the Jonas Brothers’ Twitter account. Along with their friend Nicole Sievers of Brookfield and her younger sister Danielle, the girls arrived at Castaways Bar & Grill around 9 a.m. July 8 to complete a scavenger hunt to be entered into a raffle to play against the band. The girls were given photos of the boys at the Bean, Buck-

Each team had to visit the sites, take a picture replicating the poses of the band and return by 1 p.m. When the scavenger hunt began, it started pouring rain, Dobry said. Sievers drove the girls in the pouring rain to each location. Dobry and Gradilla would take a picture at the site, Sievers would take a picture with Dobry, then Sievers would take a picture with her sister. This way the girls had a better chance of winning the contest with more entries. When the group returned to Castaways Bar & Grill and Dobry’s ticket number was called, she said she did not believe it.

When Dobry finally realized she had won, she said she began to cry and ran at the Kiss FM representative. “They were so happy at how genuinely happy she was,” Gradilla said. For the two tickets that were picked, each winner could choose one friend to play with them. The girls had agreed to pick a friend’s name at random if any of them won. Dobry picked Gradilla’s name, and the two had the opportunity to play with two other winners against the three Jonas Brothers. The fans won two of the three games, beating the Jonas Brothers. “Volleyball just wasn’t their

Gradilla and Dobry played volleyball when they attended Lyons Township High School. Before going to their concert July 10, the girls got to see the Jonas Brothers again after their interview with radio station B96. Gradilla said Nick remembered her name and Joe said she was a very talented volleyball player. The concert was held at Northerly Island on July 10, kicking off the band’s first tour in three years. During the concert, the Jonas Brothers per-

formed four songs from their new, unreleased album. Gradilla and Dobry have known each other since they attended Park Junior High, and have enjoyed going to concerts, listening to music and meeting the Jonas Brothers together. “It brings our friend group together,” Gradilla said. “It’s always a good time when the Jonas Brothers are in town.” Even though Gradilla attends the University of Illinois and Dobry attends Grand Valley State University in Michigan, they were glad to be able to share their passion. “It was a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Gradilla said. “Not many people can say they have played volleyball against the Jonas Brothers.”

Kevin Skinkis said a number of steps have been taken over the past two years to reduce expenses. The district moved from being self-insured to joining a health insurance cooperative that includes 90 other schools. The district is also monitoring personnel costs by aligning certified staffing with student course requests. The Board adopted a policy for minimum course enrollment to ensure that personnel costs are aligned with

required classes or classes in high demand. The Board must approve classes with an enrollment of less than 20 students. “Every stakeholder has made some sacrifice over the past two years, and we appreciate everyone’s hard work,” Skinkis said. “We have implemented operational changes that will allow us to better monitor revenue and expenditures, and align them with our local, state and federal funding sources.”

Nazareth grads create online coupon service for Chicago nightlife spots By ALEX RUPPENTHAL

aruppenthal@shawmedia.com Waking up to wallets stuffed with collections of bar and club receipts helped Mike Tatarowicz and James Wachowski realize that going out was getting too expensive. So, they decided to make it cheaper. Seizing the entrepreneurial spirit, the former Nazareth Academy buddies started Audum Live in January 2012, a website that sells coupons to Chicago nightlife spots for as low as $3. The service differs from other online coupon sites like Groupon, which validates deals when a certain number of

don’t pay anything. Also unlike Groupon or DailyDeals.com, which sell coupons for everything from manicures to pet supplies, Audum Live limits itself to nightlife, selling coupons for bars, clubs, concerts and the like. “These are the types of things we would do just as two guys hanging out,” said Tatarowicz, who, like his business partner, is a 2003 Nazareth Academy graduate. “We came to the conclusion that we spent far too much money doing it.” By offering coupons that are usually less than $10, the site gives people a way to have fun on a budget. “What we set out to do is provide young professionals with a cost-conscious outlet to find things going on in their area,” Tatarowicz said. “[Fi-

nances are] typically the biggest barrier for people of our age whether it’s going out or going on vacation.” In between their social lives – which also are their professional ones – the young entrepreneurs spend plenty of time on the phone and computer. “It’s taken forever to get to this point,” said Wachowski, of Lyons. It also required some odd hours – and not just late ones spent feeling out nightlife spots. “There was a stretch for six months where I was waking up at 2 or 3 a.m., working with our programmers in India … log out with them, shower, go to work with Jimmy, test the stuff [the programmers] did,” said Tatarowicz, of Hinsdale. It’s starting to pay off. Eighteen months in, the site has drawn 50,000 different customers and won its first big partner, Four Corners Tavern Group. Tatarowicz and Wachowski are making some

money, though it took $250,000 in private investments to start the site. “As long as we’re getting by, that’s fine,” Tatarowicz said. “We can get money later. Right now, we just want to drive this company as big as it can be.” They’re hoping to expand the site to New York, San Francisco and Denver, where the site’s designer lives. And they think their model – single-digit offers for young professionals without a ton of discretionary income, plus a free service to businesses – will catch on. “There really isn’t anything like it,” Tatarowicz said. A recent study of their social media operation found that more than 100,000 people have interacted with the Audum Live brand. Tatarowicz estimates he goes out three to four nights a week. “We are currently not together in the office because we were out last night,” he said. Work is work.

RIVERSIDE – A group of 39 volunteers from Ascension Lutheran Church in Riverside recently headed to Appalachia to help repair the homes of five families in need in Breathitt County, Ky. The volunteers will discuss their stories as part of the Appalachia Service Project during a worship service at 9 a.m. July 21 at Ascension Lutheran Church, 400 Nuttall Road. For the past 17 years, the church has been a part of the project. This summer, the volunteers were organized into five teams under Patrick Murphy, Terri Lynne Culloden, Nancy Bernhardt, Mike Biro, Joe Cooper, Bob Erbach and Tim Murphy. The teams repaired trailers and built wheelchair ramps. Sts. Peter and

Paul Lutheran Church in Riverside worked with Ascension to send youth and to fundraise for the trip. Breathitt County is one of the 10 poorest counties in the United States. Although it is below the country’s averages for income, education and employment, homeownership, and years living in the same home rank higher than the national averages. Breathitt County is located at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. A local school served as the program’s center for lodging and building supplies in Kentucky. Volunteers slept in classrooms and ate meals in the cafeteria. Volunteers connected with the work site families and one another each day as they talked and shared brown-bag lunches. At the end of the week, there was a picnic with all the families and volunteers at the local city park.

LA GRANGE – Two men might have used a weapon while robbing a woman near Cossitt and Bluff Avenues late Friday night, police said. The woman was walking alone and listening to music when she felt something hard pressed to the back of her neck. One of the men said, “What do you have?” The woman did not know what was pressed against her neck, although she said it could have been a gun or other weapon. One of the men approached her from the front and the other from the back, she said. The men fled after taking her backpack and MP3 player. The robbery could be related to two other incidents that occurred last week in Brookfield and La Grange, police said.

enue in Brookfield. The men were approached by three other men on bicycles, one of whom hit one of the men in the face with a chrome semiautomatic handgun. The three suspects punched the three men and stole their cellphones and a backpack with clothing. Police indicated the same suspects likely were involved in an incident Saturday in La Grange, when two men who know each other got into a fight near the Community Center, 200 S. Washington Ave. A cellphone was stolen in the fight, which drew friends of both men from nearby areas. No weapons were used in the fight, police said. “These things don’t happen that often, and to have three within a five-day period, all within eight to 10 blocks from each other … There’s a good chance they’re all connected,” Brookfield police Lt. Edward Petrak said.

The Brookfield Library Board and Friends of the Brookfield Library were present July 11 during the start of the demolition phase of the United Methodist Church, 3541 Park Ave., as part of the Library Improvement Plan. “The demolition that is about to take place will open the door to a new future for the Brookfield library,” Library Board President Jennifer Perry said. “We should all take pride in the fact that we are present to witness the dawn of a new era.” The Brookfield Library purchased the United Methodist Church in November 2012 and received preliminary planned unit development approval by the Village of Brookfield in December. Environmen-

tal abatement of the former church buildings was completed in June. Church structures are expected to be demolished in two phases with demolition work that will last around four weeks, including removing an underground storage tank used for heating purposes. The final phase of the project includes seeding the lot, which will be used for Library programming, as well as to celebrate the library’s 100-year anniversary in June 2014. A Library Improvement Plan page is available on the library’s website at www.brookfieldlibrary.info. It will be continually updated to include project information, schedules, and construction and traffic information. For more information about the project call 708-485-6917 ex. 121 or email kcoughran@ brookfieldlibrary.info.

LYONS Demanding commission, ex-employee keeps cash A former employee at a cell phone store in the 3800 block of South Harlem Avenue was put in charge of depositing about $10,000 in cash into the store’s account, but kept the money for himself. The man, who is an ex-boyfriend of the store’s manager, said he would deposit the money once he receives the commission he said he is owed. Police tried calling the man at the number provided by the store’s manager, but the number was disconnected.

DUI Michael G. Decarlo, 23, of the 4000 block of South Forest Avenue, Brookfield, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after police observed his vehicle driving on top of the curb in the 8000 block of Ogden Avenue at 12:06 a.m. July 3. Decarlo failed three field sobriety tests and was arrested. He told police he had been drinking at a Countryside bar. Before going to the bar, he said he had smoked marijuana and taken prescription medication for depression.

Assault Dawn M. Dobbins, 52, of the 8600 block of West 44th Place, was charged with assault after allegedly yelling profanities at a technician working outside on an air conditioning unit across the street from her residence. Dobbins told police she did confront the technician, but that she talked to him in a nice manner. She said she was mad that the man was working on the air conditioning unit and not her boyfriend. Dobbins was arrested at 12:56 p.m. July 2. Her court date is Aug. 7.

Unlawful drug possession Shawn M. Sherwin, 39, of the

6900 block of West Pershing Road, Stickney, was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of cannabis and drug paraphernalia after being kicked out of a bar in the 7300 block of West 39th Street at 12:12 a.m. June 29. Police found Sherwin standing on the side of the bar’s driveway screaming, “I got jumped!” A pat down revealed that Sherwin had two small plastic bags with cannabis and a glass pipe.

Man pays for gas, steals electric cigarette A man paid for the $10 of gas he bought at a gas station in the 8000 block of West Ogden Avenue, but stole an electric cigarette off the counter display, the station’s owner reported at 8:35 p.m. June 30.

Man assisting pregnant woman steals $485, meds A man living at the apartment of a couple expecting a baby stole $485 and pills of two prescription medications, the woman’s husband reported 2:48 p.m. July 3. He said he had been friends with the man for two years.

BROOKFIELD Fight outside pizza store leads to battery arrest Raul Leyva, 33, of Berwyn, was charged with two counts of battery after a fight outside a pizza store in the 9200 block of Broadway Avenue at 9:43 p.m. July 6. Leyva’s girlfriend told police she picked him up from a block party and that he was intoxicated. They drove to a laundromat to pick up laundry they had left there. Leyva started arguing with two brothers who had just returned to the adjacent pizza store from a delivery, eventually pushing and punching one of them. He then retrieved a baseball bat from the trunk of his girlfriend’s vehicle. Police arrived before the fight escalated further. Video surveillance showed that Leyva pushed one of the brothers into the back door of the pizza store. Leyva posted $1,500 bail. His court date is Aug. 13. See POLICE, page 20

8SOUND OFF In favor of pavers As a Downers Grove taxpayer, I offer a sincere and hearty thank you to the [School District 99] for installing the permeable pavers in the North High School parking lot. Considering what we know and teach about water quality, this decision shows that the district is serious about its role as educator, not only of its students, but also of the community. The pavers allow rainwater to flow through them and into the ground, where it is cleaned naturally and returned to our local river or stream. With asphalt lots, the water flows across the surface, picking up dirt and toxins and carrying them to the storm drains, which lead straight to our local rivers or streams.

to walk their children with their big bulky strollers in the very congested space for this fair. It’s very hard just to get by with the throng of people as it is. These women always feel compelled to bring their big strollers and buggies. I mean come on, do it another time.

Not on my lawn Even though Downers Grove has a leash law, some dog walkers seem to think that as long as their dog is on a leash, they can let their dog wander 10, 20, 25 feet off and away from the sidewalk and into everybody else’s lawn as they’re walking along. The dogs relieve themselves there. Sometimes it gets picked up, most of the time it doesn’t. I don’t let my dog soil your lawn when I walk, so please keep your dog off of mine.

Come to a full stop

Unmarked police vehicles

I live in downtown La Grange, and I would like to talk about the confusion between stop signs and yield signs. A stop sign is when your car comes to zero miles per hour. A yield sign is when you slow down, look both ways and then go through the intersection. In downtown La Grange, the stop signs are treated as yield signs, and I will say even the La Grange police do not come to a complete stop at the stop sign. We have a lot of pedestrians around here, we even have an elementary school [nearby] and this concept of the rolling stop at a stop sign has got to stop.

Recently in Lemont, I’ve seen two unmarked, brand new SUVs used by the Lemont Police Department. I cannot understand what the purpose of that could be. When you look behind the police station at 127th Street, it looks like a used car lot for police cars. We spend thousands of dollars detailing those cars to identify them as police cars for our officers, and now we have two new cars, and they’re unmarked and we don’t know what they’re being used for on the street. What happened to the program that was started years ago where police officers were issued brand new bicycles to do bicycle patrols in the community in the summertime to enhance community relations? What happened to the bicycles? Now we’ve got them in unmarked cars.

Bugged by bumping baby buggies With the craft show coming to La Grange this year, I hope that women with strollers decide not

what to know N about flu vaccines

o matter how flu season shapes up this year, one thing’s for certain: Not everyone older than 50 is going to get vaccinated. Despite universal recommendations urging every person 6 months and older to get vaccinated, many Americans don’t get the flu shot, said Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the Department of Preventative Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. “Absolutely, unhesitatingly, no doubt. You should get your flu shot. And especially older people,” said Schaffner. “People 50 and older are the age group that will experience the most complications from influenza and they will be more serious complications, such as getting pneumonia or ending up in the hospital hooked up to a ventilator. Dr. Lisa Grohskopf, medical officer with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said “For more mature people, getting the flu shot is really important because as we age the immune system doesn’t respond as well as it did when we were younger.” But just how good is the flu virus? Last flu season, the vaccine was 56 percent effective when it came to curbing flu-related medical visits, according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For people 65 and older, that number dropped to 9 percent effectiveness for the season’s most prevalent flu strain. Those statistics are eye-opening, but they should not stop you from getting vaccinated. “It’s not a perfect vaccine like the measles or polio vaccine is perfect. But it’s the best we have right now,” Schaffner said. “I like to use the quote from Voltaire: ‘The perfect is the enemy of the good,’

meaning that waiting for a perfect vaccine in the future is a sure way to catch the flu this season. While some people believe that the flu is just a bad cold, it’s really a “devilish virus,” Schaffner said. “It can take a healthy person and in just 48 hours put that person in intensive care,” he said. Older people are more at risk than the general population. People who are more likely to experience serious complications from the flu are “older, have an illness such as diabetes, are overweight, have underlying heart or lung disease or” whose immune systems are compromised, Schaffner said. “This is the one (illness) that year in, year out sends more than 200,000 to the hospital and causes over 30,000 excess deaths,” Schaffner added. The experts have answers ready for the doubters who say, “I got the flu shot, and then I still got the flu!” You may have caught the flu, but it made the illness milder, Schaffner said. “If you went to the doctor, you avoided going to the hospital,” he added. Older adults do a better job of getting their flu shots, with about 66 percent of people 65 and older vaccinated each year, Schaffner said. “One way to look at it is, that’s a huge achievement, but on the other hand, one-third of folks were not vaccinated,” he said. While the big push to get a flu shot begins in September when the vaccine becomes available, don’t hesitate to get vaccinated later in the season. “The peak month for the flu is February,” Schaffner said. A flu shot is “so easy to get,” especially at walk-in clinics offered at many pharmacies and grocery stores. You can’t get the flu from getting a flu shot, but it can come with some side effects, Grohskopf said, such as soreness, redness or itching at the site, or a mild fever or cold, which is preferable to the flu.

THYROID PROBLEMS? No Energy? Insomnia? Weight Gain? Irritable?

How to catch up on retirement savings By Money Living lot of people stress the importance of starting a retirement fund early, but many people don’t keep up with their retirement fund or even make one at all until it seems like it’s too late. However, there are plenty of ways to start saving money to catch up with your retirement plan.

Set a goal A good start to catching up on your retirement fund is setting a realistic goal for the minimal amount of retirement savings that you’ll need. The essentials are really all that you’ll need to consider at this point. Once you’re more caught up on your savings, you’ll be able to set the bar higher. Every bit counts You should start saving money as soon as you can. Even a few dollars or a few cents is useful to your retirement fund. Even if you don’t have specific accounts or investments in order, you can still start saving up some cash to put into the fund later. Get out of debt Debt is one of the many things that can destroy a retirement fund. Take care of as much debt as you can at the moment, and create a plan to lower your debt in the next few years. This is another area where every little bit counts. Even the smallest contribution toward lowering your debt can save you from hassle in the future. Create a budget and monitor your spending Creating a budget is a great way to decrease your spending and maximize your savings for your retirement fund and future investments. Monitor your spending to get a good idea of what your weekly or monthly budget should

be. Monitoring your spending also will allow you to get a good idea of where to set your base savings goal for your retirement fund. Investing in a 401(k) If your employer has a 401(k) plan set up for all employees, take advantage of it. Sign up and start contributing. Contribute as much as you can whenever you are able to, and keep making contributions whenever you can. Selling, relocating and downsizing If your children have left the house and you have unused bedrooms and space, consider moving to a smaller house to save on mortgage payments, heat, electricity, air conditioning and more. Selling your old house also will allow you to gain some extra money for your retirement fund. If you’re currently renting your house, downsizing to a smaller home will likely save you money on rent and utilities. Selling old items that you no longer need in yard or garage sales or on the Internet also can build up a good amount of money for your retirement fund. Consider a second job Even if it’s just part-time and minimum wage, it’s still extra income that can be invaluable to your retirement fund. Look around for a second job that won’t interfere with your current job. Manage your time wisely, and ensure that you can handle the stress of two jobs before taking another one on. Put off retirement If you need some extra time to save, extend your deadline for retirement. It may be disappointing but it will allow you to save up more money and live more comfortably when you do retire.

hy not slow things down and enjoy the experience of travel by taking a train trip for your next vacation? “There are many appealing aspects of train travel,” said Regis St. Louis, Lonely Planet travel writer and coordinating author of the 2012 “USA” guide. “For one, it forces you to slow down and enjoy the scenery. You’ll have more of a connection to the lands you’re passing across — rather than just soaring over at 35,000 feet oblivious of the lavender fields, river valleys and other great scenery you might be missing.” The benefits For some trips, flying can’t be avoided, but traveling by train opens up a world of possibilities with abundant benefits. Trains: ◆ Drop you right in the middle of the city where all the action is rather than at an airport in the middle of nowhere. ◆ Hit big cities and picturesque small towns. ◆ Allow you to take more luggage for free. ◆ Allow you to stretch out and move freely with seating that may be reserved or open, more comfortable and possibly with facing seats. ◆ Have sleeper cars where you can rest and wake up in another state or country. You can also save money on a hotel room by taking an overnight train to your destination. ◆ Offer more selection of departure/arrival times. ◆ Have no security checkpoints. ◆ May be less costly (unless you splurge) and are more environmentally-friendly. “There’s also the camaraderie,” St. Louis said, “It’s easier to meet other travelers on a train. I think there’s something about this old-fashioned mode of travel that makes people more open to the delights of travel and sharing stories with others around them. … You’re also likely to meet like-minded travelers and that’s one of the great parts of travel — learning about other cultures and ways of life.” Traveling by train beats driving, too. You’ll avoid busy roads and the stress of traveling on the highways. “You can sit back enjoy the scenery, curl up with a good book or even do a bit of writing — letters, journals, stories — train travel seems conducive to the literary mind,” St. Louis said. Train travel fits your budget, whether that means senior discounts on Amtrak,

coach seats and a bag of snacks carried along, or high-end trains with luxury accommodations and world-class chefs. Fancy a drink? Many trains boast bar and cafe cars, which are a good place to relax with fellow passengers. Some trains even have smoking cars. Where to go There’s no easy characterization of train travel. There are iconic long-haul journeys such as a trip along the Trans-Siberian railway, which stretches more than 5,500 miles from Moscow to Vladivostok, Russia, and takes seven days if you don’t stop. Other transcontinental trips traverse America, Canada and Australia. First-time train riders might prefer a shorter trip and crossing a region rather than a whole country, or picking one country such as France or Italy, which have excellent train infrastructure. On another short trip, Amtrak’s Adirondack leaves the skyscrapers of New York City behind and cruises through the Hudson River Valley past West Point, then hugs the shoreline of Lake Champlain for 50 miles before ending in Montreal 11 hours later. History fans can step back in time and take a short journey on an old-fashioned steam train in southeastern Brazil or past Victoria Falls in southern Africa. St. Regis’ favorite train trip is the scenic journey in the Douro Valley from Porto to Pocinho in Portugal, a beautiful half-day adventure into the heart of Portugal’s most spectacularly set vineyards. Here are three other recommendations from St. Regis: ◆ In Canada, Via Rail operates the Canadian which makes the three-day journey between Toronto and Vancouver. The scenery, which takes in the northern Ontario Lake Country, the western plains and the looming Canadian Rockies, is spectacular, and you’re likely to see eagles, elk, moose and even bear. ◆ The narrow-gauge Durango & Silverton train shows off Colorado’s scenic side. This vintage steam-spewing locomotive climbs from 6,500 feet at Durango to more than 9,300 feet in Silverton and takes around 3 1/2 hours to make the 45-mile journey. ◆ How about having breakfast in London, lunch in Paris and returning to England in time for evening cocktails? Hop on the Eurostar for a 180-mph trip that travels via Chunnel under the English Channel and departs every hour.

BERNARD FRANK SLANEC Bernard Frank Slanec, age 81, of La Grange Park, passed away July 9, 2013. A lifelong resident of the Chicago near west suburbs, Bern was son of Antoinette and Frank Slanec and grew up in Berwyn. He graduated from Morton High School and continued to develop his talents in studio art and liberal arts at DePauw University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa. Following service in the army, he returned to the Chicago area where he pursued a career in finance with manufacturing firms, later joining his brother Glenn Slanec in business. Bern married Marilyn Grace in 1960. They moved to North Riverside where they were residents for 50 years, and devoted themselves to raising their two daughters and to enjoying the extended Slanec family. Bern was known for his dedication to his family; his sharp intellect and quick dry humor; his love of gardening, camping, and the outdoors; and his wisdom. Bern is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Marilyn Grace Slanec, daughters, Linda Slanec Higgins (Bill Higgins) and Laura Slanec, grandchildren, Mark Higgins and Eve Higgins, and brother, Glenn Slanec (Alice Slanec). A memorial will be held at Riverside Presbyterian Church, 116 Barrypoint Road, at 1:30 July 13, 2013. A fellowship and remembrance will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations in remembrance of Bern can be made to the Alzheimers Association (www.alz.org), or the American Heart Association (www.heart.org)

Restaurant reviews

Comfort, elegance and great food at La Tosca VILLA PARK – You can look all you like, but it’s unlikely you’ll find a more authentic Italian experience than La Tosca anywhere else. As popular as Italian cuisine is, it can be tough to find a unique experience. La Tosca achieves this with ambiance, class and fine food. When you drive up to the restaurant on St. Charles Road, it immediately stands out for its exterior, with an Italian villa-style façade and terra-cotta roof. Inside, you find they’ve somehow turned a dining room with an immensely high ceiling into an intimate setting, featuring lots of dark wood trim and a few faux cracks on the wall – evocative of Italy’s famously ancient architectural heritage. As a dining companion and I settled in for a recent evening, we were presented with menus for dinner, the night’s specials and wines. A nice touch on the wine menu are the suggested pairings of wines and meals. Knowing that I would likely opt for a pasta dish, I selected a glass of Ruffino Chianti. “Pair with pasta with tomato and grilled beef,” the menu says. For an appetizer, my companion and I shared the

Mozzarella Alla Tosca, which layered prosciutto, mozzarella, roasted peppers, leafy greens and olive oil. It made for a light and savory enticement – very tasty. Neither of us was in the mood for pizza, although La Tosca has an extensive list of options. I went for the Cannelloni Alla Romana: “Homemade pasta stuffed with meat and spinach with a basciamella tomato sauce.” My companion was tempted by several items on the specials menu, but ultimately went with the Saltimbocca: “Veal medallions, sage, prosciutto, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese in a demiglazed wine sauce.” After I enjoyed a minestrone soup that came with my entree, and my companion had polished off a delectable garden salad, we were, in short order, presented with our main courses. Before even taking a bite, we knew we’d be leaving with takehome bags; the portions were attractively presented and so generous we knew we wouldn’t be able to finish everything. I will admit that I heat up a frozen dinner for lunch now and then, and store-bought cannelloni is one of my more

Cannelloni Alla Romana at La Tosca in Villa Park is “stuffed with meat and spinach with a basciamella tomato sauce.” Combined with an appetizer and soup, it’s more than just one meal’s worth of food. frequent choices. Compared to what’s served at La Tosca, the microwaveable meal can hardly be considered food. I found myself letting each bite linger for a moment as I experienced all the subtle shadings of flavor. And, as expected, half the entree ended up being my lunch the next day, and much better than anything I could get at the grocery store. My dining companion said the veal medallions were tender and rich in flavor, and we were surprised to see that they also

came with a side of pasta with marinara sauce. They really don’t want you going home hungry! For dessert, I went for the chocolate truffle gelato, and my companion chose the profiterole – mini cream puffs in a chocolate mousse – which our server confessed was a favorite. We ended up sharing each other’s portions, and, if pressed, I’m not sure I could choose between the two, as both were extremely rich and sweet. You might feel inclined to

Ronnie Dunn to headline Rockin’ for the Troops By DEBBIE BEHRENDS dbehrends@shawmedia.com Ronnie Dunn admits he doesn’t know much about Operation Support Our Troops – America, but he’s willing to help veterans in any way he can. Best known for being half of the country music duo Brooks & Dunn, he is the headliner for the eighth annual Rockin’ for the Troops benefit concert Saturday at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. Along with Dunn, performers include Motown tribute band The Voices, the Kimo Williams Band playing rock tributes and original music, plus rockers Arra. Advance tickets are recommended.

“I got a call from my manager, and we were able to do it,” Dunn said in a recent phone interview. “We’ve done countless things to support the troops – concerts at military bases all over the country. It would be great to not have troops in harm’s way, but at the same time, there’s always going to be an opportunity to serve and pay tribute to them.” And expressing appreciation to the troops is what the volunteer-based, nonprofit OSOT-America is all about. For 10 years, it has embraced the mission: “to support the morale and well-being of American forces by providing comfort, resources and education to them and their families, both while they are de-

ployed in harm’s way and after their return.” The packing and shipping of care packages to deployed miliRonnie Dunn tary members is one of the things the organization does. As for Dunn, supporting the troops is not the only charitable work he has undertaken lately. He was among the stars at Toby Keith’s Oklahoma twister relief concert July 6. “We were actually on the ground outside Oklahoma City when the tornado came through Moore,” Dunn said of the May tragedy, noting that because of expected bad weather, he had

opted not to fly back to Nashville from a concert in Santa Fe, N.M. He said when his bus driver learned a tornado had touched down in Moore, “he fired up the bus, and we hit the road; we drove parallel to that storm system all the way to Memphis.” That experience may find its way into a song in the future as Dunn’s music continues to evolve. In response to people who call his new music “not country enough,” Dunn said, “There’s a place for that. I embrace it all. I can come out of a good, rocking song and dive into a hard-core country song. We’re at a time in this business when we’re redefining the rules.”

It’s quite a feat – a restaurant that manages to be both cozy and classy, and a terrific choice for an exquisite Italian dining experience.

I liked the way the Stones rocked it, ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard, you name it.”

Taking shape RB creates internal competition, searches for No. 2 pitcher By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com BERWYN – The winning may not be important, but the competition is. Riverside Brookfield is playing a number of top programs and bigger schools in summer baseball. The focus of summer isn’t about the results, but playing in a six-team league with Fenwick, Leyden, Nazareth, Oak Park-River Forest and St. Joseph has tested the Bulldogs. “One thing is we don’t focus on winning and losing at all,” said Mark Ruge, who is the varsity assistant coach and is leading the summer team. “I literally play one inning at a time. If we’re down 6-0, everything is clean and we start fresh the next inning. “When you’re playing the Oak Parks, you’re playing Leyden, you’ve got to bring it.” Ruge emphasized internal competition as much as anything. After the Bulldogs, which don’t have a home field in the summer so all games are on the road, graduated a majority of the starting lineup from the spring, a lot of positions are up for grabs. Junior to-be Kevin Fitzgerald is expected to retain his starting shortstop position, but after that, many of the field spots are in an open battle during the summer. Ruge mentioned second baseman Jim Doherty, third baseman Matt Gara and versatile Nick Fucinato as some of the standouts. “What we’re trying to do is get opportunities to pit

We get to stay in rooms with our buddies. It’s a little more competitive.” As for pitching, RB is looking to find a No. 2 behind ace

standards. “When you graduate seniors, the 18-year-olds get replaced with 16-year-olds and there’s an adjustment phase for us coaches with the ability levels.” Working in new players and replacing the top ones is a transition for both players and coaches. Another factor is that a number of players compete in travel baseball or aren’t always available for other reasons. Three main varsity returners for LT – Sam Cybulski, Sam Heilenbach and Max Larsen – have been key contributors in the summer. However, the other faces are new. “We have players that have skills,” Ushela said. “They’re just working on becoming

more consistent. Some of that is there is a fatigue factor with the heat and some kids play multiple sports and travel on the weekends.” Considering Ushela is a coach focused on fundamentals and basic execution, the lack of practice time in the summer is the biggest difference between the seasons. “In the summer all we do is get together and play,” Ushela said. “The only practice is pregame. That’s a major thing because we don’t practice the things like fielding bunts and covering first. In the spring we do that probably every other practice. “The other thing is the kids play. There’s a varsity and a JV game three times a week so they’re kind of assured playing time whether they’ve earned it or not. We want to give them playing time so we can evaluate them, too.” Ushela added that the summer season sets the tone for spring position battles, although he admitted a lot will change between now and then.

Lyons Township’s Malcolm White hits a double against Hinsdale Central on July 10 in Hinsdale.

LA GRANGE – As the winner of four summer state titles, Lyons Township coach George Ushela has shown he wants his kids to compete and play at a high level no matter what season it is. The Lions, who won the summer state tournament last year, entered as the top seed in the Fenwick regional and received a first-round bye before beginning play on Tuesday. Despite picking up the top seed after beating a number of strong teams throughout the summer, Ushela still holds his team up to a high standard and can’t help but be frustrated with the typical mistakes that come with summer baseball. “We’re not playing stellar baseball, but we’re winning,” Ushela said. “There’s glimpses of the ability to play really stellar baseball. Some of that is that we have pretty high standards here as well and we’re used to meeting those

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.
