Kitchens for the Average Joe & Jane Have you put off doing your kitchen long enough? Is this the year you have vowed to do something with your cabinets? Have the horror stories of kitchen remodeling made you afraid to even think about it? With prices approaching and surpassing $100,000 for full kitchen remodeling, it is no wonder the Average Joe and Jane feel a little overwhelmed. Enter Kitchen Tune-Up! This locally owned (Downers Grove) National Franchise has been offering minor kitchen remodels for 19 years. Marty Ceranec, the owner, has won numerous awards from KTU for Sales, Customer Service, and Creativity. He received the highest award in 2000 when he won National Franchise of the Year and in addition, is a two time Angies List Super Service Award Winner. We offer Kitchen Solutions for Any Budget. “I think some people get sticker shock when they look at the price of redoing an entire kitchen and are overwhelmed. We work with clients every day who have the same anxieties,” says Marty. KTU can provide anything from the Signature Kitchen Tune-Up to a full blown design and remodel. “The bulk of our work last year was in refacing and door replacement. Door replacement doesn’t change the color, but replaces old particle board doors with new solid raised panel doors utilizing concealed hinges. Refacing, on the other hand, enables one to change their oak cabinets to maple cabinets without buying all new cabinetry,” said Marty. “These two options also save landfill space because we are saving the boxes.” Why have they been so successful? Simple things like showing up on time and returning phone calls which is often lacking in the remodeling industry. I have chosen to keep the business small so I am involved in every job with my three long time installers. By doing this we have become well known as experts in minor kitchen remodeling.” Kitchen Tune-Up also offers cabinetry upgrades such as glass doors, tipout trays, soft-closing dovetail drawers, and full extension rollouts as well as counters in laminate, solid surfaces, granite and quartz (Cambria) “The Best Counter Top Around.” When questioned about any regrets, Marty replies, “We often Call Marty Now For a Free Estimate get calls to update the kitchen when the owner is ready to sell. We always wonder why they See Our Work At didn’t do it earlier so they could have enjoyed it sooner.” www.kitchentuneup.com

Hinsdale brain tumor survivor chairs Minds Matter event

MRSA survivor spreads awareness By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Chicago’s ABC7 sports anchor Rafer Weigel, son of Chicago sportscaster Tim Weigel who died of brain cancer in 2001, will honor his father and those who have been touched by brain tumors Oct. 4 during the fifth anniversary of the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute (NBTI) Minds Matter Benefit. Peter McCabe, 53, of Hinsdale, is a brain tumor survivor after having successful surgery in May Peter 2009. M c C a b e McCabe chose Dr. James Chandler, a nationally known neurosurgeon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, to perform the operation. Chandler also is one of the co-directors of the NBTI, a recognized organization dedicated to brain

and spinal cord tumor research, treatment and care. McCabe and his wife, Cindy, have been so affected by this life-changing experience that they volunteered to chair the annual “Minds Matter” fundraiser for the NBTI in 2011. Together, with a team of fellow volunteers, they raised nearly $800,000, a record-breaking number for the organization. “There are people really devoting their lives to not only treating brain tumors, but also hopefully preventing them,” McCabe said.

HINSDALE – Thirteen years ago, Jeanine Thomas couldn’t imagine how much suffering would come from breaking her ankle after slipping on ice. After what should have been routine surgery in December 2000, complications resulting in pain ensued. “I had a cast on my leg for two days and I started feeling really sick,” the Willowbrook resident said. “My cast was hurting me and you couldn’t tell what it was because of the cast. I paged my surgeon and he said, ‘Go to the E.R. right way. You either have an infection or your cast is too tight.’” Thomas learned she had an infection so bad that the incisions made during surgery turned black and started oozing pus. “It was the most disgusting thing because I had incisions on both sides of

my ankle,” Thomas said. “I couldn’t even look at it.” Thomas had contracted MRSA during the surgery. MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a bacteria resistant to several antibiotics and sometimes called the “superbug.” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most MRSA infections are skin infections and are obtained in a medical facility. MRSA can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections, pneumonia and surgical site infections. “They were going to amputate my leg, but I went into septic shock and had multiple organ failure before they did that,” she said. “I was not on the right antibiotic, then they got me on the right antibiotic and I had eight surgeries.” According to a CDC study, MRSA still is a “major patient threat,” but studies show that

life-threatening MRSA infections in health care settings are declining. However, of the 80,461 cases of invasive MRSA that occurred nationally in 2011, 16,560 were community-associated infections, which decreased by only 5 percent. Thomas said one of the biggest problems in the community is awareness which prompted her to found the MRSA Survivors Network in 2003. On Sept. 28, the MRSA Survivors Network will host its fifth annual World MRSA Day kickoff event at the Hinsdale Community House, which will feature light refreshments, a remembrance ceremony, balloon release and talks given by leading experts and survivors. “It’s the cockroach of bacteria,” she said. “It’s going to find a way to mutate and stay alive. That’s why prevention is so important.”

Einstein, Picasso walk into a bar Hinsdale Drama Club mounts Steve Martin-penned comedy By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – “I never thought the 20th century would be handed to me so casually, scratched out in pencil on a piece of paper,” said Arman Haveric as Albert Einstein, in the Hinsdale Drama Club’s upcoming performance of “Picasso at the Lapin Agile.” “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” written by Steve Martin, is a fake account in history when Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso meet at a bar called Lapin Agile in Paris. The two geniuses, each in his own realm of science and art, respectively, are on the verge of ideas that will forever change the 20th century. Set in 1904 France, Einstein is on the verge of publishing his special theory of relativity (1905) and Picasso will paint Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907).

The play revolves around the clash between a mind of art and a mind of science, but it’s the host of other characters at the bar that provide the witty one-liners and nonstop energy. “I wanted to do something lighter, but at the same time was also challenging,” said director Sonia Gecker, the English teacher who chose the play. As some of the two greatest minds enter the turn of the century, conformity is pushed away and an age of new ideas and creativity is introduced to the world. At one point, both Picasso and Einstein take appreciation for one another as only two geniuses can. Picasso, played by Yianni Kinnas, asks Einstein if he is capable of bringing a beautiful idea into being, prompting Einstein to reply he is creating a new way of looking at the world.

If you go What: Hinsdale Drama Club’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” When: Hinsdale Central High School auditorium Where: 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday with a matinee performance at 4 p.m. Friday. Tickets: $7 and seating for this production will be limited. Call 630-5708165 to reserve tickets.

“So you’re saying you dream the impossible and put it into effect?” Kinnas asks. “Exactly,” Haveric replies. “Brother!” Kinnas exclaims. The 75-minute one-act comedy also features a special time-traveling visitor. The cast was chosen in May with about 50 students auditioning, only to have 11 make the cut, Gecker said. Rehearsals then began in August. “I felt like we had the dream team,” Gecker said. “I can look around and honestly say there is not one weak link in this

entire cast. This is the dream team, and I’ve never been so confident in a group of actors I’ve been working with.” Claire Baiocchi, 17, of Hinsdale plays the Countess and said it’s been great rehearsing with the cast and is looking forward to opening night. “I think performance-wise what I’m going to be looking forward to the most is just bringing that energy every day,” Baiocchi said. And if anything is evident in the performance, it’s the energy of the cast as they entertained

each other as much as the audience. “I didn’t really base the character off anyone, I just wanted to make sure I was about being dynamic and as energetic as possible,” said Haveric, 15, of Hinsdale. Crew for this production consists of about 25 Hinsdale Central students who work on the areas of scenic construction and painting, props, lighting and sound. Former Hinsdale Central student Elizabeth Patterson (Class of 2006) is serving as the lighting designer. As some final words of advice before performing, Gecker stressed energy and enthusiasm. “I want to see the thought behind it, the passion, the energy, the connection behind everything that you’re doing from the second you come on stage beyond the second you leave,” Gecker said.

HINSDALE – During the past 50 years, Hinsdale Assembly has raised more than $2 million for Adventist Hinsdale Hospital but now will embark on a pledge to donate $1 million during the course of 10 years to the new Adventist Cancer Institute. “This cancer center is going to be awesome because Hinsdale and La Grange hospitals, they have all the cancer needs at the two hospitals, but it’s actually taking all of the areas of cancer from both hospitals to this one center so that the patients who need to use the facilities, they basically just get to go there and stay there,” said Mary Buddig, chair and former debutante for Hinsdale Assembly. “The doctors will come to them.” The Adventist Cancer Institute recently was approved unanimously by the Hinsdale Village Board and is expected to open in 2015 on Ogden Avenue near Interstate 294.

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com OAK BROOK – Ty Warner, the creator of Beanie Babies and owner of Westmont-based Ty Inc., will plead guilty to tax evasion and pay a $53.5 million civil penalty for allegedly failing to report income he earned in a secret offshore financial account with Swiss Bank UBS, his attorney said Sept. 18. Warner, 69, of Oak Brook, was charged last week in U.S. District Court. “This is an unfortunate situation that Mr. Warner has been trying to resolve for several years now – including through an attempt to enroll in the IRS’s Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program in 2009,” Warner’s attorney Gregory Scandaglia said in a statement. “Mr. Warner accepts full responsibility for his actions with this plea agreement.” Warner is the second

In 1963, Hinsdale Assembly was started by 21 women who started the tradition of supporting Adventist Hinsdale. Since then, 1,076 debutantes have participated in the legacy. “I think it’s going to be pretty interesting going forward with this new cancer center we’re supporting donating $1 million,” Buddig said. On Thursday, Hinsdale Assembly will celebrate all the debutantes with a 50th anniversary luncheon at Hinsdale Golf Club. Buddig said so far they have eight debutantes coming to the luncheon from the original class. Other projects the debutantes take part in include volunteering at Paulson Pediatric Rehab, Bethlehem Woods Retirement Community and HCS Family Services Food Distribution in Willowbrook. Buddig said she was honored to be a part of the 50th anniversary for the Hinsdale Assembly, which also includes the 50th Anniversary Presentation Ball on Dec. 23.

Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said in a statement. According to the charging document, Warner maintained a secret offshore account with UBS starting in 1996. In late 2002, Warner transferred the assets in his UBS account to a second Swiss financial institution, Zürcher Kantonalbank, when the account had a balance of about $93.6 million. In 2002, Warner earned approximately $3,161,788 in gross income through investments held in his UBS account, according to the charge. Warner allegedly committed tax evasion for that year by failing to tell his accountants about that income and by failing to report that income or the existence of the UBS account in his 2002 tax forms, as well as failing to report that same income on an amended 2002 tax form filed in November 2007.

In February 2009, UBS entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the United States, admitting that it helped taxpayers hide accounts from the IRS. As part of the agreement, UBS provided the government with the identities of, and account information for, certain customers of UBS’ U.S. cross-border banking business. “The charge alleges that Warner went to great lengths to hide from his accountants and the IRS more than $3.1 million in foreign income generated in a secret Swiss account.

Support for Congressman Roskam To the Editor: Wow! It’s a time when I’m not sure what the right political decisions are – or should be. I appreciate that our politicians are making hard, crucial decisions. What I don’t appreciate is the confusion surrounding these decisions – especially when those decisions affect me – and you. Syria, for example. I have to admit, I’ve been somewhat confused by all that we’ve been hearing. My confusion centers around President Obama’s mission in Syria. Intervention? Really? What is the ultimate goal? Putting American lives in danger without a clear, well-defined plan is just plain confusing – and scary. I believe Congressman Roskam does make himself clear. I believe he made the right decision to oppose military intervention in Syria. He went to great lengths to hear from both foreign policy experts and people here in his district (including those with family members serving overseas and retired military personnel) to come to his decision. I want my political leaders to forgo knee jerk decision-making and go that extra mile – take time to understand the ramifications, take a deep breathe, and make informed, clear decisions. This is one of the many reasons why I continue to support Congressman Roskam. He recognizes that he works for the people and he has been entrusted with that great responsibility, and that he needs to continue to earn the right to represent us.

The HCS Family Services already was helping people in need in southeast DuPage County. Now the Hinsdale-based organization is working to get kids involved with the philanthropic efforts. On Sept. 6, HCS hosted a Kids Service day during which those as young as 6 got to volunteer at the food pantry and help in any way they could. Kathleen Ericksen is the new high-energy preschool teacher at the Clarendon Hills Park District. The veteran educator plans to use her personal skills, such as sign language, Irish dancing and piano, to keep the 3- and 4-year-olds engaged. Good luck in your new job.

It bothers me that people

you find something that doesn’t belong to you, turn it in. Don’t use it. My daughter was studying at a Starbucks this week. She mistakenly left her Starbucks card behind. She realized it when she received a message on her phone that her card was being reloaded from her Visa. The card has since been canceled, especially after we found it had been used several times. It’s still very upsetting.

burn in their yard with their outdoor fireplaces. There is not much difference from burning leaves. It is very inconsiderate to those of us who have respiratory problems. On nice nights I have to turn the air conditioner on because the smoke does not allow me to breathe. In my own home I am trapped inside and cannot enjoy the weather. I should be able to enjoy a cool summer/fall breeze without having to worry about the smoke from such “fireplaces.”

8NEWS BRIEFS Feedback wanted in selection process HINSDALE – Acting Superintendent Bruce Law of Hinsdale Township High School District 86 has asked Hinsdale Central families and staff for their help in determining the attributes for the next Hinsdale Central principal. On Tuesday, Law said an email would be delivered asking participants to complete a survey, which is being conducted by School Perceptions, LLC, to ensure the anonymity of the respondents and the integrity of the results. Former Hinsdale Central Principal Mike McGrory left his role for a new job in Iowa at the end of last year. In the meantime, Tom Paulsen and Frank Kesman have been serving as interim principals. In the email, Law said the survey must be completed by Oct. 12 so the data can be used to evaluate the applications for the Hinsdale Central principal position. Candidates interested in applying for the principal position must complete the online application by Oct. 18, according to the email. It is the intention of the Hinsdale 86 Board of Education to name the new Hinsdale Central principal prior to winter break to allow for a smooth transition prior to his/her official July 1, 2014 start date, read the email.

Animal Hospital nowhere near getting new facility By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Tony Kremer, one of the owners of the Hinsdale Animal Hospital located at 218 West Ogden Ave., told the Hinsdale Village Board “we are at a critical point with our building,” at its Sept. 17 meeting. “We’re kind of at a position where the facility can no longer give us the kind of care we want to provide for the pets,” Kremer said. Kremer, a veterinarian, the property in 2007 with the intention to upgrade the facility. However the hospital, located between Grant and Vine streets, is an area zoned as residential and under Hinsdale zoning rules, it is not allowed to expand or rebuild. At the Village Board meeting, Kremer sought out feedback from the Village Board

about possible solutions and presented plans for a new state-of-the-art facility, but was met with opposition. Village President Tom Cauley said Kremer and the Hinsdale Animal Hospital must go through the planning commission process and public hearings before the Village Board could weigh in on anything. Cauley compared the plans to the new Adventist Cancer Institute, which was approved unanimously by the board that same night. “The cancer center is the third time I’ve seen that presentation and they went through several focus groups,” Cauley said. “I just think at this point it’s premature to discuss what our views are.” Kremer said he wanted to get the board’s input before moving forward with the

process because of setbacks he’s faced in the past. “It just seems like five years of trying to bounce things off, it’s like we get initial positives, but then it comes back to us that it doesn’t work,” Kremer said. Cauley suggested the owners look into the property that is west of where the Blockbuster used to be in town on Chestnut Avenue, but Kremer said ideally he would stay on Ogden Avenue. “We have a great location with a million cars going by,” he said. “I just think it’s a wonderful location.” Kremer said he wants to stay where he is, but Cauley said rezoning property is something “that is not taken lightly” in the village. “I will tell you I think it’s an uphill battle,” Cauley said.

Midwestern University’s Clinical Campus Opens

idwestern University unveiled its new Multispecialty Clinic in Downers Grove this summer and began treating patients at the Dental Institute. As a graduate degree-granting institution specializing in the health sciences, Midwestern University provides a wide-range of academic programs that prepare future health professionals for successful careers. The new Multispecialty Clinic was established to benefit both students and the community. The Dental Institute is home to some of the most advanced technology and diagnostic tools available to help provide patients with quality dental care. Student dentists in their final years of extensive professional training treat patients under the close supervision of licensed faculty who have many years of private practice experience. As a teaching clinic, patients at the Dental Institute can expect comprehensive, compassionate care – at about half the cost. The Midwestern University Clinic, located at 3450 Lacey Road, will also include a Family Medicine Practice, a Speech-Language Institute, and other health services. “The entire clinic is a teaching facility for our students. It’s also a place where patients from the community can be part of the teaching process and have a huge role in the development of Midwestern students as they become professionals,” said Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Midwestern University. “We are proud of the fact that we have been able to bring this clinic to Downers Grove and we are here to provide quality service to our community,” she added. To schedule an appointment or to learn more about the Multispecialty Clinic, please call 630-743-4500 or visit www.mwuclinics.com.

Restaurant reviews

Palmer Place is quintessential La Grange LA GRANGE – Palmer Place gives you options. Eighteen thousand of them, actually. The downtown La Grange restaurant’s menu offers more than 30 different burger creations to pair with more than 500 beer options. An entire page of the menu is dedicated solely to the burgers, while the ever-changing beer list earns a menu of its own. A companion and I visited Palmer Place on a recent late summer night. Approaching the restaurant, you walk through a bustling downtown La Grange. Inside, Palmer Place is just as lively. Follow our example and be sure to dine outside if the weather allows, as Palmer Place’s expansive beer garden, which includes rooftop seating, is a true gem. The restaurant goes by the motto: “Where neighbors become friends,” and it lives up to it, from the warm service to the vibrant atmosphere. A friendly server greeted us within moments of seating, bringing us the famous beer menu. If you name it, Palmer Place likely has it, from all the popular beers down to exotic exports and unique crafts. It’s a destination for dedicated beer lovers, and our server explained that some Palmer Place regulars print up the beer menu and cross off each selection as a checklist, on a quest to sample each libation. Limiting myself to two beers, I went with the Lindemans Framboise, a Belgian raspberry beer that was a bit pricey, but worth the adventure, as well as a personal favorite that’s typically hard to find: Three Floyds Brewing Gumballhead. For our fare, we started out with an appetizer – the crispy green beans served with a ranch sauce. Palmer Place makes its own ranch dressing in house, and it didn’t disappoint, while the green beans were deep fried in a tasty, crispy onion breading.

Hinsdale South takes out Proviso East for its first victory of the season SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA MAYWOOD – Following a narrow loss to Willowbrook on Sept. 13, Hinsdale South head football coach Mike Barry said his team had been on the cusp of victory, but a few unlucky bounces barred them from finding the win column. “We have had opportunities,” Barry said following the 35-28 loss to Willowbrook. “A variety of different things have occurred that makes you just shake your head. We have lost two tight games, but we are working hard and looking to turn it around.” The Hornets turned it around Saturday with a 29-6 victory over host Proviso East. South (1-3 overall, 1-1 West Suburban Gold) got a break early in the game against the Pirates (0-4, 0-2 WSG), then cruised to a comfortable victory. Backed up against their own goal line on their first possession, the Pirates were stymied by the Hornets’ defense and were forced to punt. On the ensuing play, the Proviso East long snapper rifled the ball over the punter’s head and the ball sailed out of the end zone for a safety. That mistake, combined with a handful of Pirate penalties, set the tone for the game. After that, Hinsdale South relied on a forceful ground attack, racking up 230 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

Bill Ackerman – backerman@shawmedia.com

Hinsdale South quarterback Robert Regan hands off to running back Alex Holmstrom during Saturday’s game against Proviso East in Maywood. Starting his second game of the season, junior quarterback Robert Regan rushed for 45 yards and three touchdowns. Hornets running backs saw a lion’s share of the workload as Alex Holmstrom rushed for 87 yards and a

Proviso East quarterback Lawrence Griffin went 14-of34, totaling 126 yards in the losing effort. Next, the Hornets will host their homecoming game against Addison Trail (0-4, 0-2 West Suburban Gold) at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Central wins, but down another QB SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA HINSDALE – For the second time in seven days, Hinsdale Central’s football team lost a quarterback to an ankle injury. A week after senior quarterback Chase Hamilton suffered a broken ankle in the first half against York, senior Jacob White got his first varsity start under center, carrying the ball 10 times for 148 yards and two touchdowns in the first two quarters. White orchestrated a 31-0 shutout over Proviso West – leading an offense that

Hinsdale Central 31 Proviso West 0 Hinsdale Central leaders Rushing: Jacob White 10-148, 2 TDs scored three touchdowns in its first nine plays from scrimmage – but could not finish the game after he, too, incurred an ankle injury while playing linebacker, according to reports. Before leaving the game with the injury, White had touchdown runs of 3 and 70 yards and was the catalyst

for the Red Devils’ (3-1 overall, 2-0 West Suburban Silver) third straight win. Although Hamilton is out for the remainder of the season, the severity of White’s injury is unclear. If White cannot go when Central plays Glenbard West on Saturday, either Ben Stefani or junior Sam Saltiel – both of whom took snaps in the second half against the Panthers – will likely get the starting nod. With the game in hand against Proviso West, the Red Devils needed little production from either Stefani or Saltiel. The Hinsdale Cen-

tral defense was dominant all evening and held the Panthers to -3 yards rushing in the first half. Saturday’s starter faces a tough task, taking on a Glenbard West squad that is also 2-0 in the West Suburban Silver. Like the Red Devils, the Hilltoppers are riding a three-game winning streak, averaging 44.3 points per game and a 39.6 average margin per victory. Both Hinsdale Central and Glenbard West will play with an extra day of rest, as kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

Hinsdale South young, but continues showing promise as season progresses By ALEX SOULIER HINSDALE – Underclassmen are leading the way for the Hinsdale Central girls tennis team so far this season. Following the departure of Alex Solovyev, the singles state runner-up last fall, freshman Bella Lorenzini holds the varsity team’s No. 1 singles spot while sophomore Sophia Haleas, a state qualifier in 2012, is at No. 2 singles. Freshmen Danielle Burich and Erika Oku are poised to mature into a very strong doubles team, following in the footsteps of senior Katie Lee and junior Rugile Valiunaite, who are currently the Red Devils’ top doubles pairing. While young talent often equates to a rebuilding season, the girls team has placed first in three invites and is 3-0 in dual match play. “We have an excellent mix of youth and experience,” head coach Robin Kramer

Hinsdale Central’s Sophia Haleas chases down a shot in a Sept. 19 match against Lyons Township. Haleas is one of the Red Devils’ top singles players this season. said. “All of the freshmen have been making huge contributions and it has been amazing to have six freshmen performing so well at the varsity level. Although we lost a lot to graduation, we appear to be rebuilding on the fly.”

A perennial powerhouse on the hard court, Hinsdale Central is on a mission to replicate the success of a 2012 Red Devil team that won the West Suburban Silver conference title, a sectional championship and was second in

the state. “Our goals remain winning conference, sectionals and contending for a state championship,” Kramer said. The Red Devils can take a giant step toward that ultimate goal with a good showing at an Oct. 5 quad featuring 2012 state champs Lake Forest and state powerhouse New Trier.

Hinsdale South Hornets Emma Adcock and Andrea Wakim, a state tournament-qualifying doubles team last year, have graduated, and now a youthful Hinsdale South girls tennis team

is showing promise as the season progresses. Led by head coach Mia Tritch, the girls varsity roster includes two freshmen, seven sophomores and four juniors. Paola Bozhilova is the lone senior on the team. After a shaky start, the Hornets are steadily improving, posting wins in two of their last three matches and evening their record at .500. South got off to a good start in the West Suburban Gold conference, offsetting a loss to Downers Grove South with wins over Willowbrook, Morton and Addison Trail. South gets a big test when it participates in the Lake Forest invite on Saturday, where it will face members of Lake Forest’s 2012 state championship team. The Hornets then return home to host IC Catholic Prep on Monday. When the postseason rolls around, the Hornets will be looking to nab state tournament berths at the Downers Grove South sectional.

Bears need to bring ‘A’ game vs. Lions Hub Arkush

For all the experts and handicappers who saw the Steelers game as the classic trap for the Bears, you were off by a week. At this point in the season, the Steelers just weren’t good enough to beat the Bears, who proved it Sunday night. Plus, the Bears still had plenty to prove on their first road trip of the year to a perennial playoff power. This week is a different story. At 3-0, the Bears have control of the NFC North, have had their way with the Lions for the most part in recent years, and the week after the Lions they return to Soldier Field for what could prove to be their toughest test of the season – a battle of the undefeated with the New Orleans Saints, one of the real powers in the NFC.

Of course, that assumes the Bears stay undefeated, since this Lions game is the classic trap. Matt Stafford is a Pro Bowl quarterback who, after a poor 2012, is playing at a high level again. His 99.9 passer rating is 5 ½ points better than Jay Cutler. Both have six touchdown passes, and Stafford has thrown two interceptions while Cutler has thrown three. Cutler has been slightly more accurate at a 67.3 percent completion rate to Stafford’s 63.6 percent, but the big difference is production. Stafford has thrown more than 100 yards per game more than Cutler with 1,020 passing yards to Cutler’s 693. Stafford is averaging 1.5 yards per pass more than Cutler, and Cutler has completed passes to only five different receivers while Stafford has found 11. The Lions’ offense has been more diverse than the Bears’ and, therefore, tougher to defend. Of course, Calvin Johnson, aka Megatron, is the man you fear the most, and he’s off to a nice start with

17 catches for 268 yards and three touchdowns. Nate Burleson, who has been targeted seven less times but actually has two more catches than Megatron with 19 for 239 yards, is likely out after breaking his arm in a single-car accident earlier this week. Brandon Pettigrew is back from a serious knee injury that ended his 2012 season, and rookie Joseph Fauria already has two touchdowns backing him up at tight end. The big question will be the status of Reggie Bush. With 30 rushes for 115 yards and seven catches for 145 yards and one touchdown in the Lions’ first two games, Bush was held out of the Redskins game in week three with a sore knee. Bush has said he’ll be ready for the Bears, but the Lions’ trainers haven’t agreed to anything yet. Joique Bell has been almost as good in relief of Bush with 34 carries and 119 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and 14 catches for 177 yards. The Lions easily will be the stiffest

test the Bears defense has faced. Defense is again where the Lions are a bit sketchy, but not up front, where Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley are the best defensive tackle duo in the league. Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah, the fifth choice overall in the 2013 draft, already has 2 ½ sacks, and an old friend, Izzy Idonije, along with Willie Young, will bring heat off the ends. The back seven are where teams attack the Lions. While DeAndre Levy and Stephen Tulloch are two of the top three tacklers on the club, they are undersized at linebacker; and Martellus Bennett and Matt Forte could create some mismatches. With Chris Houston on the corner and Louis Delmas and Glover Quin at the safeties, the Lions’ secondary is better but not great. Make no mistake – the Bears are the better of these two teams. But if they don’t bring their “A” game, they could wake up after 60 minutes without knowing what hit them.

under potential trade shenanigans: Beware the disinterested owner. If someone does not take your league seriously, or if their team tanks early, there is a risk that they’ll make a trade that does not benefit their team, especially if the other owner involved is a buddy. Commissioners must keep an eye out for this. The key to a good trade is to approach it from a “winwin” perspective. The trade has to make sense for both sides. If you are trying to land a premier player, you’ll have to give back something of value. For a big-time trade to work, there will be some pain

on both sides. Most owners look at recent performance when evaluating trades. Obviously, past performance matters. However, what a player has done is not as important as what he is going to do. To get value in a trade, you want to get rid of a player who is likely to experience a drop off, and get back a player who will enjoy improved performance. In other words, sell high and buy low. None of us has a crystal ball, but we can look at tendencies, history and upcoming schedules to give us some idea.

Potential buy-low players: • Chris Johnson, RB, Tennessee: He gets the touches and he is explosive. The Titans seem to be improving. • CJ Spiller, RB, Buffalo: Riskier than Johnson, but nice upside. • Vincent Jackson, WR, Buccaneers: He has only 25

points in three weeks, but he’s the main target for a team that will be playing from behind. • Montee Ball, RB, Broncos: Don’t give much for him, but Denver is known for RB turnover. If any back emerges as the main option, they will have value. • Others: Robert Griffin III, Victor Cruz, Arian Foster, Colin Kaepernick, Dwayne Bowe.

Potential sell-high players: • Michael Vick, QB, Eagles: No way this guy stays healthy. • Jordan Cameron, TE, Browns: He’s just a tight end. • Eddie Royal, WR, Chargers: Was on pace for 40 TDs after first two weeks. Might be a week too late. • Knowshon Moreno: Basically had one good week. He also has a history of injuries. • Others: Joique Bell, DeSean Jackson, Julius Thomas, Trent Richardson.

With injuries piling up and the byes beginning in week four, you’ll want to do everything possible to improve your roster. At this point in the season, talent can be acquired only via the waiver wire or through trades. Three weeks in, quality free agents probably have been picked clean, especially if you are in a 12-team league. Looking at the available players in one 12-team league, the highest-scoring non-quarterback available is Santonio Holmes. He might be worth a roster spot, but he’s unlikely to turn your season around. Assuming there are no true difference-makers available as free agents, your only opportunity to upgrade is via trade. If you’re like me, trading players is one of your favorite parts of playing fantasy

football. A lot of owners aren’t like you and me, however. I’m not sure if it is a fear of being ripped off, or if it’s some type of loyalty to the players they picked. (Remember, this is pretend – you don’t have to worry about uprooting families.) Whatever the reason, some fantasy owners would seem to prefer a root canal to trade discussions. Clearly, when seeking a trade partner, you need not waste your time with these owners. Since you are discerning enough to read this column, I need not warn you about the old “quantity-for-quality” ploy. To my knowledge, it has never worked once … for anyone … ever. Essentially, an owner offers you three or four bums for your best player. Apparently, they must feel that you are slightly dumber than they are, which is a virtual impossibility.

Tailgate time!

Cheese-Brat Soup is a fan favorite in the making by margaret maples More Content Now

Chili, ribs and wings are wellknown tailgate party regulars, but Cheese-Brat Soup is another dish that your crowd will love. Flavored with a little ale and further fortified with chunks of bratwurst, this soup has a sophisticated frat personality. I added broccoli florets for color and because moms keep insisting that we all need veggies. As you can see from the recipe here, which is inspired by one from the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, this simple soup comes together quickly. You’ll be happier with the finished product if you remember two tips about cheese: age and temperature. Aged cheese melts and blends more smoothly. I bought a chunk of 12month-old cheddar, and to help the melting process, I grated it before sprinkling it into the soup. Aged cheese is often a little more expensive, but it’s also more flavorful, so you can use a bit less. Your pocketbook will thank you. After sprinkling cheese shreds into the warm milky mixture, I stirred continuously, not permitting the cheese to stick to the pan or form clumps. Keeping the temperature fairly low after the cheese goes in — no boiling, please — will help to avoid rubbery lumps or graininess. The cheese goes in last, right after the beer. The alcohol content might make this soup an adults-only item. But remember that we’re using ale as a flavoring, not as a beverage, so our recipe calls for just enough to taste.

With the holiday party season right around the corner, a growing camp of entertaining experts suggests approaching things a little more like Steven Spielberg. Whether it’s a Halloween party for the kids, a Thanksgiving potluck or an elegant Christmas dinner, entertaining pros know that “setting the scene” for a memorable event can make a significantly greater impact. Choose your space: When choosing a location, think about the season and theme of your event. Convene in a front room for a Halloween party featuring a spooky yard, or in front of the fireplace on Thanksgiving. Pre-set party: Have seating for 10 to 15 percent of your guests. If your space is too big for the number of guests, use multiple small tables to create mini food stations, which will encourage guests to move throughout the room. Dim the lights: Rely on table and floor lamps and moodenhancing candlelight. Try seasonal scents like spiced pumpkin, cranberry clove and gingerbread maple. Simplify decor: Seasonal fruit presented with nuts and berries or evergreen branches and pinecones from your backyard can make a lovely and elegant statement, at a fraction of the cost of fresh flowers. Turn on music: Ceate a playlist for the entire evening of tunes that match the occasion. Mix traditional holiday songs with favorite party tunes in a ratio of one to three.

Cheese-Brat Soup Aged cheddar cheese melts smoothly, and its lovely flavor pairs well with amber ale and bratwurst. n 1/4 cup (half a stick) unsalted butter n 1/2 cup diced celery n 1/2 cup diced red onion n 2 t diced poblano pepper (optional) n 1 clove garlic, minced n 1 cup broccoli florets n 3 to 4 T all-purpose flour n Salt and black pepper to taste n 5 to 6 ounces cooked bratwurst or cooked sausage, in bite-size pieces n 2 cups chicken broth n 1 cup milk n 1/2 to 3/4 cup amber ale, flat n 2 cups shredded aged cheddar cheese Melt butter in a heavy pan over medium heat.

Cut back on salt Have you ever salted your food before tasting it, or know someone who has? You may be heading toward Salt Overeaters Anonymous. “For most of us, we consume more sodium than our bodies require,” says Pamela Ofstein, a registered dietitian who owns and operates a private nutrition practice in Florida. “Even for those of us that are termed ‘generally healthy,’ the extra sodium intake or use of salt on a regular basis is not necessary and can be a health risk.” Such health issues that can occur from excess salt intake include cardiovascular disease, hypertension and dehydration, along with inhibiting proper absorption of nutrients and affecting normal body functions, such as those within the kidney. Ofstein offers these tips on how to cut back on everyday use of salt in foods: Know your history: If you have a family history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity or high blood pressure, you are at a higher risk for heart disease. The American Heart Association currently recommends an intake of less than 1,500 mg of sodium a day — and most of us eat about 3,400 mg of sodium a day or more, Ofstein says. Put the shaker away: “Most of us have developed a ‘salt palate’ … and add it to foods thinking it doesn’t have enough flavor or tastes bland,” Ofstein says. Start by substituting. “By adding herbs, spices and seasonings to foods when preparing or cooking, for example, it can add just as much flavor without adding the extra sodium.” Re-think your snack: Go for natural, whole foods instead of that bag of potato chips. If you have a hankering for something crunchy, try baked tortilla chips, unsalted popcorn or pretzels, raw nuts, raisins, unsalted rice cakes or vegetables. Beware of hidden salt: Processed foods, such as baked goods and packaged items, often contain added salt or salt alternatives. Limit added salt by choosing raw fruits and veggies, lean meats, whole grains and healthy fats.

Breaking down barriers To expand primary care, nurse practitioners try new tack By Julie Appleby Kaiser Health News

Nurse practitioners say efforts to expand primary care to millions of Americans under the health law are hampered by insurance industry practices that limit or exclude their participation. Despite laws in 17 states and the District of Columbia allowing them to practice independently, nurses with advanced degrees say some insurers still don’t accept them into their credentialed networks as primary care providers, while others restrict them mainly to rural areas. After years of fighting doctors in state legislative battles to expand their authority, nurse practitioners are taking a new tack: asking the Obama administration to require insurers to include them in the plans offered to consumers in new online marketplaces, which open for enrollment Oct. 1. Millions of newly insured consumers will need access to primary care, but “this will not happen if private insurers continue to exclude or restrict advanced practice registered nurses from their provider networks,” said Karen Daley, president of the American Nurses Association, in a prepared statement. Nurse advocates want to be able to bill insurers directly for services, which would require them to be credentialed in insurers’ networks. But insurers say a mix of state laws governing nurses’ ability to practice independently complicates such efforts. The ANA argues that insurers selling plans in the new marketplaces should be required to credential a minimum number of advanced practice nurses. Under its recommendation, insurers would need to include as few as 20 nurse practitioners in some states and more than 600 in others. The group submitted its recommendation in July as part of formal comments on proposed health law rules. The Obama administration said it would “continue assessing” whether it should require insurers to contract with specific health care providers.

New strategy The focus on credentialing is the latest strategy in a long-running battle by nurse practitioners, marked mainly by efforts to expand their authority under state law to provide care without direct physician oversight. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine

CHrISTOPHEr d. FOSTEr/MCN PHOTO ILLUSTrATION

endorsed such efforts, urging state and federal regulators to remove barriers so nurse practitioners can make full use of their training, which includes instruction on examining, diagnosing and treating patients. Controversy has continued, however. While proponents say nurse practitioners can perform many of the primary care services that physicians do — and at lower cost — doctor groups say they should do so only as part of doctor-led teams. They also question whether the approach would increase access to primary care. “Absent that team approach, patients will be at serious risk,” Paul R. Phinney, president of the California Medical Association, said in a statement opposing a bill that would expand nurse autonomy. In most states, nurse practitioners require collaborative arrangements with physicians for oversight of their diagnoses and treatment, according to a report by researchers at the Center for Studying Health System Change, a nonpartisan research group in Washington.

While each state has its own licensing and certification criteria, advanced practice nurses generally can diagnose and manage common illnesses, order tests and give patients prescriptions for medications.

Doctor shortage Because nurse practitioners undergo a shorter training time — a master’s degree program after becoming an RN, plus up to 700 hours of supervised clinical experience — their numbers can be increased more quickly than physicians. Currently, about 250,000 advanced practice nurses are licensed nationwide, according to the ANA. About 6,000 nurse practitioners run their own offices, according to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. The U.S. Department of Labor says about half of the nation’s nurse practitioners work in physician practices. More nurse practitioners would go into business for themselves if insurers included them in their networks and they could bill directly, said Deanna Tolman, an advanced practice

nurse who opened her own office several years ago in Aurora, a suburb of Denver. “We’re in this gray area: Insurers are fine with us providing care as long as we’re working for physicians. But some of us don’t want to work for physicians,” said Tolman. Jerry Driscoll, a Philadelphiaarea nurse practitioner, for instance, runs an agency that delivers primary care to 1,000 patients in their homes. But since he is not credentialed by several of the state’s major insurers, his company must bill through physicians with whom he has collaborative agreements. In addition, “people can’t find my name or the name of my company” in insurers’ providers’ lists, he said. This story was produced in partnership with The Philadelphia Inquirer.

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.
