HINSDALE – A pancake house is set to replace the void left after Grant Square Restaurant in Hinsdale closed this summer. Ted “Theo” Maglaris, the owner of Prasino, plans to open Yia Yia’s Pancake House (translates to grandma’s) at 13 Grant Square in early 2014. “It looks like late February or early March,” Maglaris said of the tentative opening date. Maglaris said the pancake house will feature a fresh juice bar, special coffees, and a breakfast and lunch menu. “The opportunity came up for Hinsdale and we liked the location,” Maglaris said. “Hinsdale is a good town.” This would be the second location for Yia Yia’s coinciding with the long-running operation

HINSDALE – The Hinsdale High School District 86 Board of Education voted 4-3 to tentatively approve a oneyear freeze on property taxes at its board meeting Monday, meaning a zero-percent increase from the 2012 collected property taxes. District 86 utilized PMA, a professional financial consultant, for many years to forecast the upcoming years via information from the current budget, as well as from market information and assumptions. The forecast showed that a tax freeze was possible and that reserves continued to increase, according to a news release from District 86. A recession, decreasing home values and high tax rates have all taken a toll on Illinois residents. Given the forecast surplus in 2013, a modest surplus forecast again in 2014, growing reserves and anticipated efficiency improvement, a one year zero-percent increase was deemed prudent, according to the release. Board President Claudia Manley said having a flat levy creates a win-win scenario in 2014 for students and tax payers. “You had to consider really the recession and how hard hit the area has been with foreclosures, and we had a lot of input into that,” Manley said. “Everyone has been affected in their own way. If taxes keep going up and if every taxing body continues to do the $20 or $30, by the time you add it up it’s $200 or $300 a year.” Manley said projections from PMA showed that doing a flat levy will continue to allow the reserves to increase over the years. The board approved the tentative $72.6 million property tax request, with the detailed vote slated for its Dec. 16 meeting. Today, the owner of a typical house worth $300,000 pays about $1,500 in taxes to the school district and would see a slight decrease or flat property tax bill in 2014, according to the release.

D-181 upholds ruling in alleged water bottle incident By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – The District 181 Board of Education voted Monday to uphold Superintendent Renee Schuster’s decision to issue a written reprimand to a former board member. The issue stemmed from an executive session meeting of the board held on April 22 during which former board member Yvonne Mayer alleges Sarah Lewensohn, also a former board member, threw a water bottle at her. Mayer said the incident violated district policy 8:030,

“I think it was wrong and I think from a board member’s perspective this could’ve easily been avoided. I think Ms. Mayer deserves a hearing.” Brendan Heneghan, District 181 board member which states: “The School District expects mutual respect, civility and orderly conduct among all individuals on School Property or at a school event. No person on School Property or at a school-sponsored activity or event (including visitors, students and employees) shall: (1) Strike, injure, threaten, harass, or intimidate a staff member, a board member, sports official

or coach, or any other person.” Mayer was seeking for Lewensohn, who is still a member of the board’s finance committee, to be denied admission to school events or meetings for up to one calendar year, as stated in the district’s policy for violation of 8:030. Board member Brendan Heneghan said he was in the meeting and saw Mayer get hit with the bottle.

“I think it was wrong and I think from a board member’s perspective this could’ve easily been avoided,” Heneghan said. “I think Ms. Mayer deserves a hearing.” Fellow board member Mridu Garg agreed with Heneghan, citing the first line of policy 8:030, and said it was important the board did not condone such behavior. “It doesn’t matter if the bottle was full or not,” Garg said. “I think what you have to look at is that it was picked up and

thrown at somebody else, and I think that’s wrong. “ Heneghan was also disappointed in the amount of money the district spent on the investigation. “Whether one saw the bottle hit Ms. Mayer or not, everybody saw that bottle was thrown, and I think to have to spend, I think, $8,000 or $9,000 to reach that conclusion is not a good use of our resources,” he said. While Garg and Heneghan voted against Schuster’s written reprimand, the rest of the board voted to uphold it. “I try to make all my decisions based upon what will help move us toward greater mutual respect,” Schuster said.

HINSDALE – As a result of a recent court settlement agreement between Hinsdale Township High School District 86 and former board member Dianne Barrett, board members will now have easier access to district properties. Previously, Barrett had sued for access to special education documents that the district deemed confidential, and claimed the board shouldn’t have prevented her from listening to tapes of closed sessions she did not attend. Pending approval from the court, the parties in the case agreed to some of the following clauses as obtained from a FOIA request: • The board agrees that District 86 members have and retain the right to listen to closed session tapes, whether or not they attended that closed session. Any request for review of a tape made pursuant to this

paragraph shall be granted within five business days, unless the tape is certified by the district to no longer exist. The board policy currently numbered 2:225 is stricken and will not be readopted by District 86 either as currently written or in any form substantially equivalent to the present policy. In its place, the following terms shall govern the matter of District 86 board members’ right to access internal District 86 information: • All District 86 board members are entitled to unlimited access to documents necessary and relevant to board member’s exercise of official duties that are maintained by, or in possession of, District 86, including personnel and student records, with no requirement that any reason for the request be stated. That access may be limited to school hours and no access shall violate any collective bargaining agreement. • The member is entitled to enter and move about the

property without being accompanied by District 86 staff. • All requests will be honored within a reasonable time, in no case to exceed five business days. • The member’s request shall be allowed forthwith unless, by a two-thirds vote, the board finds the request is abusive. Although the board’s settlement now acknowledges agreement with Barrett’s contention that those types of documents should be more accessible to district decision-makers, Barrett will not be granted access to the items because she no longer serves as a member on the District 86 Board, according to a news release from the district. Over the summer, a judge had dismissed Barrett’s lawsuit against the district, but School Board President Claudia Manley said she was appealing the decision. Barrett did not seek reelection to the school board.

8NEWS BRIEFS Hinsdale police begin Thanksgiving crackdown

HCS Family Services seeking donations

HINSDALE – The Hinsdale Police Department announced its plans for Thanksgiving traffic enforcement, focusing on both drunken and unbuckled drivers. The intensified enforcement effort will focus on late-night hours as statistics show a disproportionate number of traffic deaths occur late at night and involve a drunk driver and/or unbuckled motorist. The crackdown is part of the statewide Thanksgiving Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket effort. The Hinsdale Police Department has join the Illinois State Police and hundreds of police and sheriff’s departments in a statewide enforcement effort runs through Dec. 1. The law enforcement crackdown is funded by federal traffic safety funds through IDOT’s Division of Traffic Safety.

HINSDALE – HCS Family Services is asking for donations this holiday season to help out families who have difficulty putting a Thanksgiving meal on the table. Each $25 donation to HCS will provide a 12- to 14-pound turkey, stuffing mix, instant potatoes, two varieties of vegetables, canned peaches, gravy mix, dessert mix and coffee. HCS Family Services is hoping to provide more than 350 Thanksgiving meals to families in need in southeast DuPage County.

CLARENDON HILLS – In light of a vehicle collision involving a 12-year-old bicyclist on Sept. 25, the village of Clarendon Hills sought feedback on whether the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Middaugh Road could be safer. That study was conducted recently by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBE), which recommended both short-term and long-term proposas for the intersection. “We are in the process of the implementing the short term, which would be to switch the intersection to what’s called a ‘Red Light Scramble,’” said Mike Millette, director of Clarendon Hills Public Works. “What that means is basically anytime any of the pedestrian pushbuttons are activated, the entire signal would go red for traffic, so then all pedestrians can cross in any direction at one time.” Millette said the village is ready to do this “ASAP” pending readiness from the village’s traffic signal maintenance company, and if it’s at a price within the village’s current budget. Long-term recommendations by CBBE suggested replacing the existing pushbut-

tons, revising the pushbutton locations, installing pedestrian pushbutton posts and replacing the sidewalk ramps. Millette said because of that construction that would be involved with the long term recommendations, the village would need to get a cost estimate and that proposal would be brought to the village board for approval of future work. The intersection of Chicago and Middaugh consists of an east-west, two-lane road with two schools – Clarendon Hills Middle School and Notre Dame Parish School – located on the south side of Chicago Avenue between Oxford Avenue and Middaugh Road. The incident occurred after a 17-year-old driver hit a boy while turning left from southbound Middaugh to eastbound Chicago Avenue at 7:43 a.m. With the heavy foot traffic experienced at that intersection in the early hours, and with the rising of the sun, it makes conditions potentially dangerous for pedestrians and drivers alike.

HINSDALE – Their hands were barely a blur and anything besides the cups in front of them was non-existent. The students at Madison School in Hinsdale were on a mission to make history with a sport that has been growing in popularity ever since first appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” Competitive sport stacking, also known as cup stacking, tests individuals and teams to stack plastic cups in specific patterns as fast as possible. Stack club was started at Madison two years ago by P.E. teacher Jessica Czerniuk, who said the kids immediately took to this new sport of cup stacking. “It was something new for them,” Czerniuk said. “It promotes team building and it’s something every student can do.” On Nov. 14, about 80 stu-

the record seven years ago. Last year, the total was 483,658, and according to the website, this year’s count has surpassed 500,000 with numbers still rolling in from across the globe. For most of the kids though, the record wasn’t as important as just having fun stacking. Shannon Maxwell of Hinsdale said her son, a first-grader, has been in the club for about a year and joined because he saw how much his third-grade sister was enjoying it. “It’s a lot of fun,” Maxwell said. “They challenge themselves to go faster and faster.” Third-grader Emily Lawson of Hinsdale was busy speed stacking at Station 4 as her mom, Tonya, cheered her on.

Madison School third-grader Eric Seppanen helps break the stacking world record Nov. 14 at the Hinsdale school. dents filled the Madison gym in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record sponsored by the World Sport Stacking Association to have 500,000 or more people worldwide stacking cups. To be counted for the world record, any school or organization participating, which included those all over the

world from New Zealand to Hawaii, had to have 25 or more people stacking for at least 30 minutes, according to WSSA’s website. A 2013 documentary titled “Stacker” highlights how successful the sport has become, and as an indication to how it’s growing in popularity, there were 81,252 stackers who set

“I really like all the patterns that you can do with the cups,” said Emily, who has been in the club for two years. Tonya Lawson said her daughter practices a lot, which explained her tremendous concentration and speed. “We have two or three sets [of cups] at home and a timer,” Tonya Lawson said. The gym was organized into about 12 stations where students in grades 1 to 5 transferred from stacking with regular size cups, to jumbo buckets and even tiny cups. Czerniuk said the club isn’t just a way for kids to have fun, but it promotes creativity, team building and gets them ready for an array of other problem-solving challenges. “When the students are using both sides of their brain to stack, it gets their brain flowing so before school it gets them thinking,” Czerniuk said. “When they go to class they go ready to learn.”

To avoid fee, Park District renames ‘Polar Express’ event By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com CLARENDON HILLS – Since 1997, the Clarendon Hills Park District has been running its popular “Polar Express” train rides featuring Santa Claus as part of the Christmas festivities. This year, though, Warner Bros. sent out an email to a number of park districts instructing to either drop the name “Polar Express” from the event title or pay a licensing fee. “It’s unfortunate we have to change the name, but we’re confident the event will still be successful,” said Kelly Smith, superintendent of recreation. “The Polar Express” is the story of one boy’s journey by train to the North Pole to visit Santa Claus where he is chosen to receive the first present and selects a bell worn by one of the reindeer. Smith said because of the popularity of the event, the park district started advertising for ticket sales in August, while the email was sent out in October. The timing of the email also remains somewhat of a mystery as the movie “The Polar Express” came out nine years ago. “I think they were just realizing how many people were doing this,” Smith said. Each district will now have to negotiate a licensing fee, Smith said, if it feels the “Polar Express” title is the key to the success of the program. Smith said the Clarendon Hills Park

District will not negotiate a licensing fee at this time. “The polar name isn’t what the event is, it’s just a title, but it’s the experience,” she said. “It’s the train ride with Santa that we’re still able to offer, we’re just not calling it the ‘Polar Express.’ ” For now, the district will refer to the rides as the “Santa Train,” which will include no references to the “Polar Express.” Smith said the district will not close the door on paying the licensing fee in the future as it depends on the feedback received this year. “Between the board and staff we were confident that making it the Santa Train and having those experiences are still going to provide the same thing for the families without the ‘polar,’” she said. One of the themes expressed in the story of “The Polar Express” is believing in the spirit of Christmas, including the ending quote, “At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I’ve grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.” Smith said while the name may be different, the spirit of the ride will remain unchanged. “We’re still going to have Santa and elves and cookies and milk and everything’s going to be the same, it’s just not going to have the polar tag,” she said.

How one community in York Township began as two towns In order to write this series of columns on the origins of the names of some of the communities in York Township, I have done a lot of research at our local libraries, local historical societies, and on the Internet. Naturally, in many of the histories that I have read, there are discrepancies and disagreements of fact. Any COMMUNITY historian worth his salt will VOICE tell you that the more sources John W. of information you have for any historical event, the Valle more opportunity there is for differences of opinion on the facts of the matter. That is why I say that what I offer to you, my readers, is my best guess, based upon my research, as to how things really happened. In this column, we will focus on the origins of Villa Park. The development of Villa Park was unique in that it began as two separate subdivisions. Villa Park was recorded in the DuPage County Recorder’s office in 1908, and Ardmore, to the west, in 1910. To entice buyers of lots, the developers built Ardmore School, a train station, and planted hundreds of trees along the newly laid out streets. The development firm, Ballard and Pottinger, ran free Sunday promotional excursions. Those who bought acre lots had their choice of 200 baby chicks or 20 apple trees. Which would you have chosen? Back in the day there was much rivalry between Villa Park and Ardmore. However, in order to acquire tax money for community improvements, the two subdivisions united in 1914. The Village of Ardmore was incorporated on Aug. 8, 1914. The name was contested by the Villa Park section, and a vote was taken in 1917. Since there were more people living in the Villa Park section, the name was changed to Villa Park on Oct. 15, 1917, leaving many disgruntled citizens on the west side of the village. At that time, the population was a whopping 300! I hope you enjoyed this little trip down memory lane courtesy of the Villa Park Historical Society.

If the Hinsdale Fire Department raises $5,000 for Movember by Thanksgiving, Assistant Chief Tim McElroy will shave his 40-year-old mustache.

Members of the Hinsdale Fire Department are growing out their mustaches as part of a Movember competition to raise money and awareness for testicular and prostate cancer research. If the department raises $5,000 by Thanksgiving, then Assistant Chief Tim McElroy will shave his 40-year-old mustache. About $600 was reported missing from a desk drawer at Hinsdale South High School after the volleyball team raised the funds as part of its “Volley For The Cure” event. Volleyball coach Lisa Martinez said the money was intended for the Open Arms Foundation at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital, which supports breast cancer patients and their families.

Great news! Congratulations to the Downers Grove Public Library! At its next monthly meeting on Nov. 20, the Library Board will consider policy changes that support a more effective, child-appropriate approach to Internet access. Computers in [the] children’s area will be equipped with filtering software designed to screen out age-inappropriate material, which will be similar to that used in public schools. It would be great if folks from Westmont Public Library attend this meeting or get some training from public school ITs to learn which filtering software works well. Their excuse that past filters did not work properly and had to be removed will not convince us that they really did all they could to protect children behind computers. It is their responsibility to find a product that works. If schools can do it, so can a library. Our tax dollars are available for this purpose and we want our children to be safe in [the] library. It can be accomplished, so let’s hope that library staff will care enough and do the right thing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I just want to say ‘thank you’ to Proviso Township for taking me to the doctor, to my eye doctor, at Loyola. I didn’t have to wait for my kids to find time for me and they were right on time and they were wonderful. They got me to Loyola and I got the shot in my eye and they picked me up 10 minutes after I called them and told them I was ready, and it was a wonderful service, and I want to thank Proviso Township transportation for my senior ride … I think more people should take advantage of this. They have wonderful other things, too.

Time will be the judge There has been a great deal of negative criticism and little support in this area for the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. Whether against it or for it, before we voice our opinion, it behooves us all to read the actual document itself, not blindly accept someone’s opinion with a biased position. As with Social Security and Medicare, there was a lot of controversy before they were enacted into law. Obamacare is no different. Time will be the judge as to whether it is beneficial or not.

Scouts from Downers Grove, Woodridge and Darien are interviewed by reporter Nathan Lurz during their Nov. 11 visit to the Suburban Life Media newsroom in Downers Grove.

Scouts visit Suburban Life newsroom and Communications badges. Though none said they had aspirations to get into the news business, the Scouts from Lakeview Middle School and Prairie View Elementary School said they had read some news the last few days. “I watched the weather this morning,” Girl Scout Erin Schoeberle said. “I just glanced at it while eating my pancakes this morning.” The group wondered how

reporters get to meet people at events, whether they get to meet famous people and how they got interested in journalism in the first place. Some Scouts said their favorite activities were the opportunities to help people less fortunate than themselves. “I like going to Feed My Starving Children, where you go and make food for the less fortunate families,” Alex Mazzulo said.

Tremor is ruled an earthquake By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com McCOOK – It was an earthquake. The tremor that shook the western suburbs Nov. 4 seven seconds after a routine explosion at McCook’s Federal Quarry was an earthquake, not a quarry blast, the U.S. Geological Survey determined Nov. 13 after examining data from Hanson Material Service Corp., the company that conducted the blast. Hanson suspended blasting at the quarry after the incident and has yet to resume. Hanson spokesman Jeff Sieg said the company would likely decide this week if and when to restart blasting, which it typically conducts every few days. “We don’t have any reason to believe that we won’t resume blasting soon,” Sieg said. “We just haven’t made the decision to do that yet.” Until Nov. 13, USGS scientists thought the incident, which caused minor damage to nearby buildings and was felt as far as Wisconsin and Indiana, was caused solely by the quarry blast, based on data collected by the agency’s nearest seismograph, about 27 miles from the quarry. A Nov. 13 meeting in Colorado started with USGS scientists at odds with Han-

Closing quarry could cause more problems Even if more research finds the quarry is a hotbed for seismic activity, shutting it down won’t necessarily be the right response. “Some of the cases we’ve had, the quarries have been shut down for several years. In some cases, the shutting down of the quarry may have exacerbated the problem,” said Jim Dewey, geophysicist at the USGS’ National Earthquake information Center in Colorado.

In one example, a quarry that had been shut down (for reasons unrelated to earthquakes) was filled with water. Scientists hypothesized that the water lubricated a fracture underneath the earth’s surface and triggered shocks. “[Closing the quarry is] obviously something that people have to think about,” Dewey said. “The problem at present is that might actually make the situation worse.”

son’s stance that the tremor was not caused by its blast alone. But after examining more precise data taken by Hanson’s instruments at the quarry, the USGS determined that the blast and tremor were separate events, the second a 3.2-magnitude earthquake. Case closed, right? The short answer: Not even close. Scientists still think the blast and earthquake were related, considering the rarity of seismic events in the Chicago area. “The working hypothesis is this shallow seismic event is somehow associated with the quarrying process and that it was somehow triggered by this very small explosion,” said Jim Dewey, geophysicist at the USGS’ National Earth-

quake information Center in Colorado. “It’s very likely [the events were connected] just because it would be such an extraordinary coincidence otherwise.” On first look, what happened Nov. 4 in McCook appears to be so unique, according to Dewey, that he estimates it will take several years to figure out what exactly happened, in addition to what should be done about it. Dewey said he could think of only five or six cases since the mid-1970s in the world where quarry activity was linked to an earthquake. “We’re sort of in the awkward position of being in effect a doctor diagnosing some weird illness that we don’t really know how best to treat,” he said.

The USGS is considering installing its own seismographs at the quarry to help determine whether “micro earthquakes” are occurring there regularly, Dewey said. If so, seismographs would allow scientists to locate the quakes’ origins to within 30 meters, information that could allow quarry operators to adjust operations to prevent triggering shocks, Dewey said. “The question is what’s causing this and can it be mitigated?” he said. Representatives from La Grange, Countryside and McCook met with Hanson officials Tuesday regarding the event. Also present was U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, who has requested a federal investigation of the incident. As of Nov. 13, about 50 La Grange residents had notified the village of damage reports filed with Hanson as a result of the earthquake. Should residents be on their toes for another quake? Given the similar incident that occurred Aug. 31, 2010 – which the USGS is now re-classifying as an earthquake, not a quarry blast, after Wednesday’s discovery – maybe. “I would not rule out the possibility of something similar to what happened Nov. 4 to happen in the future,” Dewey said.

Shop at Max Logan’s for all of your holiday decorating and gift needs!

(BPT) - As the holidays roll around, it’s natural to want to spread good tidings and cheer with festive decorations like wreaths, candy canes and Santa Claus figurines. But this year, instead of digging out the same old holiday decorations, why not create some new looks that will last the entire winter season, even after you put away the gift wrap and ornaments? Stimulate the senses Nothing says winter like the fresh smell of pine and the soft, warm glow of candle light. Repurpose simple glass bottles into an outdoorsy candlescape with Krylon Natural Stone Textured Finish spray paint. Available in eight colors, like Olivine, it goes on easy and gives you the natural beauty of stone and an elegant, professional-looking appearance. Once dry, wrap artificial garland with pinecones around the bottle’s neck or let the garland cascade down the bottle. Place pine tree-scented white taper candles in the bottle openings, light and enjoy for a fresh look and smell that will stimulate your senses well into 2014. Color works wonders Another easy way to excite the senses during a drab, gray winter is with pops of color. For a decorative display that lasts all season, avoid the red and green color combination associated with Christmas and branch out with more contemporary choices like teals, blues, purples and pinks. Metallics like silver and gold are also a great way to glitz up the season without looking like the North Pole in overdrive. Try Krylon’s ColorMaster Metallic in Gold to spice up old ornaments, vases, frames, centerpieces and

more in no time at all. Group spray-painted ornaments or pine cones in a hurricane vase or glass bowl and display on the mantel for added ambiance to any living room. Deck the halls Looking for a way to display the abundance of holiday cards from friends and family? Repurpose an old window shutter to create a unique display. Start by spray painting it with a festive shade, such as green or burgundy, which adds a touch of holiday spirit. Once dry, hang the shutter in the kitchen or entryway and place holiday cards in the slats of the shutter for a creative way to stay organized. Once the holidays have passed, you can still use the shutter to display birthday cards, thank you notes, party invitations and more all year long. Outdoor decor The inside of the home isn’t the only space you can be creative. Make a lasting statement before houseguests even step inside your home by focusing decorative attention to the outside. Line walkways and driveways with lights or faux miniature pine trees, and place white flameless candlesticks on each windowsill to add a simple touch of holiday spirit without going overboard. Prop a vintage snow sled outside the front door to welcome guests. So, this year instead of the same decorations, consider some fun and easy ways to re-beautify them into pieces that you’ll be proud to display throughout the winter season.

Frugal gift wrapping ideas

Baskets are an often inexpensive alternative to wrapping paper.

H oliday shoppers spend billions of dollars each year on gifts for friends, family and coworkers. But holiday shoppers also spend substantial amounts of money dressing up those gifts with bows and wrapping paper. Shoppers may not want to spend much more on wrapping paper, bags and other ways to dress-up their gifts, and by employing a few tricks of the gift wrapping trade, they may not have to. The following are some frugal, yet flashy, ways to wrap presents this holiday season. * Children’s artwork: Over the course of a school year parents can accumulate dozens of original pieces of art from their children’s time in the classroom. Instead of relegating those pictures to a memory box or temporary glory on the refrigerator, turn them into unique gift wrap. Pair these pieces of art with colored ribbon, and everyone who gets a unique masterpiece will feel special. * Newspaper: Recycle newsprint and comics into wrapping paper. Encourage everyone to wrap in newspaper for a cohesive look come Christmas morning. * Cloth: Leftover cloth from Halloween or cloth purchased to create homemade curtains can be turned into giftwrap for awkward-shaped gifts. Use decorative ribbon to seal

the bundle shut. * Brown paper: Brown paper tied with twine or ribbon is inexpensive and can easily be recycled after use. Use a marker to put the names of gift recipients on each package to save on gift tags as well. * Glass jars: Use mason jars when wrapping smaller gifts, including gift cards, to give them an arts-andcrafts feel. * Fabric gift bags: If you’re handy with a needle and thread, sew sacks out of leftover fabric to make gift bags of various sizes. * Cookie tins: Find unique cookie tins from yard sales or leftover tins from holidays past and use them as gift boxes. * Recipes: If you will be giving a cookbook or food-themed gifts, print recipes that can be used as gift wrap and then later used to make certain dishes. * Baby linens: From blankets to wash cloths, use baby linens to wrap infant-themed gifts for new parents. * Baskets: Wicker baskets are available in various shapes and sizes. They can be used to make a gift collection and then reused over and over again. There are many creative and inexpensive ways to wrap gifts this year instead of relying on preprinted and often expensive wrapping paper.

cards Think about what a gift card says before you give By Melissa Erickson More Content Now Giving a gift card as a present is one of the easiest gifts you’ll buy — but is it a good one? Appealing for hard-to-shop-for people, gift cards are not ideal for all. “The stigma of gift cards as impersonal, tacky gifts has changed over the years. When the economy took a nose dive, gift cards, especially practical gift cards, grew in popularity,” said Donna Montaldo, guide for coupons and bargains at About.com. Gift cards for gas, groceries or drug stores are smart picks for college students, young families or anyone who appreciates a useful and reasonable gift, she said. Why not just give cash? While some people feel cold, hard cash is a fine gift, “some people will not accept cash, but they will accept a gift card,” Montaldo said. “In my mind gift cards are the perfect gift for teenagers. They are notoriously finicky about what they like, and trends change like the weather,” said Leah Ingram, a frugal living and gift expert at SuddenlyFrugal.com. “So if you have to buy for a teen, a gift card to iTunes or a popular retailer like American Eagle is always a good bet.”

Make it special People who don’t appreciate gift cards might be the sensitive ones who take a lot of time and trouble to search out the perfect gift for you. When you turn around and hand them a gift card, it can seem impersonal, Montaldo said. To make a gift card seem more worthy, select them carefully and put some thought into it. “You could put a couple of gift cards with something else within a theme,” Ingram said. “Say you have a coffee lover on your list. Get a gift card to a nearby coffee shop, but package it with a travel mug and maybe a bag of coffee. Then the gift feels a lot less impersonal.”

Read the rules There are some downsides to gift cards. Some have activation fees or minimum required values that may be more than you’re willing to spend. They can be easily lost, and after a certain amount of time, they may lose value. The Credit CARD Act of 2009 changed how federal law regulates gift cards, but gift cards are also subject to state laws, Montaldo said. For example, funds on a

gift card may not expire for five years. ScripSmart.com is packed with pertinent information such as the state and federal laws applying to gift cards, gift card ratings and where cards are redeemable. Some cards are redeemable at multiple stores. For instance, an Old Navy gift card is good at any of the Gap brand stores including Piperlime, Athleta and Banana Republic.

If it’s really not your thing ... Be smart with your cards, too, Montaldo said. If you have a small amount left on the card, you can ask for cash back. Some stores will oblige. “Most stores have a threshold you have to spend, like 75 percent, and after that they may give you a refund,” she said. You can also sell your gift cards in some stores like CVS Pharmacy or at www.cardcash.com or www.cardpool.com for up to 92 percent of value. If possible, it’s best to give the recipient the receipt or at least let them know you have it, Montaldo said. Some stores have computerized systems that can look up a card’s value from the receipt if lost or stolen.

Unique gift ideas for the family globetrotter

“Where wishes do come true”

Holiday shoppers have a number of travel-themed options at their disposal when finding the right gift for that special someone who loves to travel.

passion for traveling leads many people to go abroad and experience other cultures or explore the sites closer to home. Those with an avid traveler in their midst can tie into this love of exploring and give travel-themed gifts. Gifting the family globetrotter is not always easy, however. Travelers tend to bring home mementos of their trips and make it seem as if they already have everything they need. Gifts purchased at the local store may seem to pale in comparison to more exotic trinkets. But gifting travelers doesn’t have to be difficult. The following gifts should make great gifts for your favorite adventurer this holiday season. * Travel journal: Many people love to document their trips, describing journeys to exotic locales or simply a family trip to a nearby campground. Travel journals make great gifts for those travelers who want more than just visual memories of their trip. Be sure to buy a journal that’s sturdy enough to handle all the bumps and bruises that accompany a nomadic lifestyle. Leatherbound or hardcover journals should suffice. * Travel kit: Travelers know the value of a good travel kit, which can help them freshen up during long layovers at the airport or once they arrive at their destinations. In addition, a travel kit allows travelers to pack some of the comforts of home, such as moisturizer, shaving gel or a particular type of toothpaste, that might not be readily available at their destinations. When gifting a travel kit, place some of those favorite products, such as travel-size mouthwash or some luxury moisturizing creams, inside the kit for a special gift-within-the-gift. * Noise-cancelling headphones: A set of noise-cancelling headphones is a gift no globetrotter should go without. These headphones reduce ambient noise and can make it easier to doze off comfortably on a flight or to enjoy a music playlist while sightseeing in a busy city. * Maps: Domestic travelers may be able to rely on their smartphones for directions, but overseas travelers may need to keep their phones off when traveling overseas to avoid heavy surcharges. In such instances, maps make great gifts, especially if you find out in advance where your special traveler will be visiting next and gift a map of that particular locale. * Gas card: For some, the joy of travel stems from getting behind the wheel and hitting the open road. If that’s true of your favorite travel afficionado, consider a gas card that can alleviate some of the cost of his or her next trip. Gift cards to filling stations can be purchased in just about any denomination, and your loved one will appreciate their free pass at the pump on their next road trip.

• Baking basics are a recipe for holiday success • (BPT) - Whether your end-of-year festivities involve mistletoe and ho-hoho, a menorah and dreidel, or a kinara and seven colorful candles, holidays of all cultures seem to have one thing in common: baking. Food is an integral part of many celebrations, and whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or a family get-together, chances are there’s a baked good in attendance. Perhaps you’re thinking of trying your hand at some family recipes you’ve never made before, or want to experiment with favorites from other holiday traditions. Whatever dish you make this holiday season, these baking basics help ensure success: Stock the staples A variety of delectable ingredients is one of the many things to love about holiday baking, but some staples show up in many recipes. Plain white flour is the foundation of many holiday baked goods, so be sure to keep plenty on hand. Baking soda and baking powder are also frequent necessities, as are eggs and sugar (white, powdered and brown). While peppermint may be apropos for Christmas cookies and candies, and cinnamon and cloves impart ethnic flair to Kwanzaa recipes, vanilla is one flavor that appears in nearly every tra-

dition. This year, add Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract to your pantry. Your holiday recipes will benefit from the complex and superior vanilla flavor provided by the Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract as it enhances and deepens the other ingredients in your baking. When buying ingredients it is important to remember that quality counts. Higher quality ingredients may be slightly higher in price, but you’ll likely need less of them. Keep these staples on hand in your pantry, and you’ll be ready to tackle any holiday recipe, whether tried-and-true or new and daring. Prep for performance Pre-cooking preparation will help ensure top kitchen performance. Before you dive into a new recipe, sit down at the kitchen table and read it - beginning to end - twice. Make two lists of ingredients; one for items you already have in your well-stocked pantry, and a second for items you’ll need to buy. Check to be sure you have the necessary bakeware. Nothing’s worse than having all your ingredients assembled only to realize you loaned your springform pan to your sister last year and never got it back. Once you have all the ingredients

and utensils you need, line them up and get started. Prep pans per the recipe directions, such as greasing cake pans or covering cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to the required temperature. Since this can take 10 minutes or more, depending on the age of your oven, it’s a good idea to start the oven before you begin mixing ingredients. Never attempt to bake in an oven that hasn’t been preheated. Measure dry ingredients first and set them aside, then measure any “wet” ingredients such as oil, shortening, eggs or vanilla extract. Sifting dry ingredients improves the overall texture of baked goods and gets rid of any lumps. Pre-measuring helps ensure a smooth, uninterrupted process when it’s time to begin mixing ingredients together. Be sure to add ingredients according to the recipe, rather than dumping everything into the bowl at once. Cool for conclusion One of the most common - and worst - baking mistakes is impatience. Most baked goods require a cooling period before they can be safely removed from the baking pan, tray or sheet. Some recipes may specify the time needed to allow your cookies or

cake to cool, while others might simply advise you to wait until the item is cool to the touch. Rushing removal can result in breaking, crumbling, splitting and sticking - the kind of disasters no amount of icing can cover. After removing your holiday goodies from the oven, set them on a rack to cool and go

do something else. You’ll be happy you were patient when that fully cooled item slides easily out of the pan. Baking is an exact science - more so than savory cooking that allows room for improvisation. By following the basics, you can be assured of baking success.

Chewy Macadamia Nut Cookies Ingredients: 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened 2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract 2 eggs 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts Directions: Cream the butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on a medium speed until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar and cinnamon and mix well. Stir in the macadamia nuts. Chill for two hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an insulated cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Makes three dozen When preparing bakery items such as cookies, here’s a tip to enhance the flavor intensity of your product: cream the vanilla into the butter or shortening and sugar first. This step encapsulates the vanilla and helps prevent flavor loss in low mass/low moisture/high heat cookies.

Restaurant reviews

WOOW’s Japanese cuisine wows in La Grange LA GRANGE – At WOOW Japanese Restaurant in La Grange, the food is only half the experience. Located downtown, WOOW looks inconspicuous enough from the outside. A single overhead sign and dark windows do little to hint at what awaits beyond the restaurant’s doors. Once inside, I was greeted by a friendly hostess, and, since it was lunchtime and I was alone, was asked if I preferred a seat at the bar or a table. Personally, I get a kick out of watching my food be prepared, so I opted for one of the seats at the bar, behind which drinks are shaken and stirred and sushi is prepared. As I moved through the dining room, I couldn’t help but take in the visual experience around me. The walls are covered in animal prints – zebra and leopard mostly. Bright white chairs stand out next to black booths, while blue and red light bathes the space. In almost any direction, eyes are drawn to strands of twinkling lights. The result leaves more of an impression of a lounge. But WOOW is definitely a restaurant – and has the menu to prove it. The menu is largely dominated by sushi in the broad sense of the term, but more specifically split between rolls, sushi and sashimi. Sushi generally refers to seafood served rolled with rice and seaweed paper or seafood served on a bed of vinegared rice. Sashimi is just the fresh, uncooked seafood. To start, I ordered a plate of crab rangoon, perfectly crispy and filled with a good balance of cream cheese and crabmeat. I also ordered a plate of chicken fried rice. For those who are not ready to dive into the raw fish that largely makes up a sushi menu, there are plenty of offerings, ranging from fried rice to pad Thai and orange chicken. The fried rice was tasty, light and filled with fresh tasting ingredients.

WOOW Japanese Restaurant • Where: 35 S. La Grange Road, La Grange • Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 1 to 9 p.m. Sunday • Dress code: Casual • Info: 708-588-8888, www. woowsushi.com

A sushi chef prepares my meal behind the bar at WOOW in La Grange.

The Crab Rangoon appetizer at WOOW Japanese Restaurant in La Grange is big, crispy and well balanced in flavor. I would wholeheartedly recommend venturing into the sushi menu, though. WOOW specializes in it, and my server was happy to help guide me and answer questions. Wanting to experience a range of offerings, I opted for the sushi and sashimi combo lunch special, which offered a chef’s choice of items and came with a California roll (a no-seafood, avocado-filled offering). The sashimi pieces were fresh and very flavorful. The

California roll was good, too, but I was hooked by the beautiful cuts of red and white fish. Overall, WOOW succeeds as a spot for sushi lovers, and the atmosphere inside can certainly keep a conversation going at the table. My water glass was never low, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. With a range of options for diners of all tastes, and an affordable pricepoint, it’s definitely the kind of place where everyone can find something to their liking. The ambiance and lighting

The sushi and sashimi combo lunch special includes a chef’s choice of tasty items. would make WOOW a great spot for a date or a night on the town with visiting friends.

Hinsdale Central committed to hard work By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – Hinsdale Central girls basketball head coach Tom McKenna says that he has seen a culture change this offseason. Following a 16-9 season and a loss to Oak Park-River Forest in the regional round of the playoffs, the Red Devils were immediately back in the gym and the weight room. Led by a core group of five seniors and one junior, the team engaged in extensive offseason workouts, morning conditioning and summer league games. “The girls really came together and put in a lot of work this offseason,” McKenna said. “From the summer camp that I led, to the morning runs and weight room sessions, to a boatload of summer games and AAU ball, the team has really bought in.” As a result, McKenna does not hesitate to call the 2013-14 squad the best and most talented team he’s had in four years as Hinsdale Central head coach. Returning to the Red Devils lineup is last season’s standout shooter, Gabrielle Rush. As a sophomore last year, the shooting guard paced the team in scoring, averaging 21 points per game. McKenna expects her to continue to develop as scorer and a leader. “She is the real deal – one of the best players I have ever coached,” McKenna said. “She can get to the hoop, has a great shot and is a tremendous competitor. I think she will be a more vocal leader this season.” Sarah Minor file photo - sminor@shawmedia.com Rush is flanked by seHinsdale Central’s Abby Gurka makes a pass during a game last season.

top reserve, Gurka’s 5-foot11-inch frame and ability to play multiple positions gives the Red Devils the freedom to match up against either small or big lineups. Meanwhile, Roglich, a four-year varsity starter, is the team’s defensive leader and will frequently match up against the opposition’s best player, according to McKenna. Senior forwards Jenna Broz and Emily Wasz are both over six feet tall and will man the middle of the paint. Broz is entering her third year as a Red Devils starter. Hinsdale Central will participate in the Hinsdale South Tip-Off Tournament through Saturday to start the season. Later in the year, the Red Devils will compete at the Wheaton North Christmas tournament and the McDonald’s Shootout at Willowbrook High School in January.

Hinsdale South’s Mary Claire Ladd throws a pass during a game last season. Entering her third varsity season, Ladd is expected to be a key contributor for the Hornets this year .

DARIEN – Last year, Hinsdale South’s girls basketball team recorded its best season since 2007-08, winning 17 games, earning the West Suburban Gold conference championship, and advancing to the regional championship game. The Hornets will try to build upon that success again this winter. But, after graduating all-conference seniors Toni Romiti, Kerry Just and Kristin Dimitrijevic, Hinsdale South girls head coach Jen Belmonte knows that a new core of leaders must emerge in order for -the team to remain successful. “This is a new group who will need to come together and mesh as a team,” Belmonte said. “We have a couple of players who have been on the varsity team since their sophomore year, and I think they are up to the challenge.” Senior guards Mackenzie Kern and Mary Claire Ladd are entering their third year on the varsity squad. While Kern is the Hornets’ most potent scoring threat, Ladd is a ball handler with the ability to break down defenders. Fellow senior Cassie Jensen is an athletic rebounder who can get out in transition. Junior Taylor Barnes will assist Jensen in handling the low post duties. Sydney Kopp, last season’s top reserve, enters her sophomore season with immensely improved footwork, speed and shooting. Her offseason strides could be a tremendous boost, as the agile guard has the ability to drive, shoot and shut down opposing guards. “The team is full of very athletic, determined play-

ers who all bring a little something different to the table,” Belmonte said. “We have some height inside and some very quick players.” In spite of a season-opening defeat at the hands of Lemont on Monday, the Hornets’ depth and athletic versatility should keep them in a majority of games and ought to have them eyeing another conference championship. Hinsdale South will participate in its own TipOff Tournament, the Benet/Naperville North Tournament before Christmas and the Downers Grove North Shootout in January.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.– Muriel Battaglia loves working under pressure. The 21-year-old Yale University soccer midfielder just wrapped up her junior season for the Bulldogs, starting 15 out of 16 games and adding a crucial goal in the team’s victory over Hartford on Sept. 18. As a sophomore the year before, she recorded three goals and seven assists. But it’s her work in the classroom that continually garners praise from coaches and professors, as Battaglia, a biology major with a rigorous load of science and social science classes, maintains a 3.94 GPA. The 2011 Hinsdale Central graduate – who has played soccer since kindergarten and was a standout on the Eclipse Club team throughout high school – explains that soccer and her athletic training help keep her focused on her classroom deadlines. “Soccer gives me structure and helps keep me organized,” Battaglia said. “I take some intense college courses and I think I am more productive and efficient during the season. Soccer helps me buckle down and get all my schoolwork done.” Her hard work and determination have not gone unnoticed, as Battaglia was recently named one of 12 members

“Soccer gives me structure and helps keep me organized. I take some intense college courses and I think I am more productive and efficient during the season. Soccer helps me buckle down and get all my schoolwork done.” Muriel Battaglia Yale soccer player

of the Capital One Academic All-District I first team. The all-academic team recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their performance both on the field and in the classroom. “The all-academic designation is such an amazing and humbling honor,” Battaglia said. “I put in a lot of hard work, but wouldn’t be where I am without my family, coaches, teammates and friends.” Battaglia specifically credits her father, Ernie, mother, Rosalie, and older sister, Lee, a former soccer player at Northwestern who mentored her growing up. Although Battaglia never played soccer for the Hinsdale Central team because of club obligations, she states that her high school’s honors and AP courses helped ease the transition of tackling an Ivy League workload. “What my club soccer coaches taught my in terms of technical soccer skills, my high school teachers did a great job preparing me for col-

In true student-athlete fashion, she continues to train with her Bulldog teammates and hopes to end her collegiate soccer career on a high note, possibly vying for a Ivy League championship next season.

Hinsdale Central sends nine to state swim meet SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

LA GRANGE – Hinsdale Central’s swimming and diving team took second at the Lyons Township sectional meet on Saturday, and several Red Devils qualified for this weekend’s state meet. The state meet will be held Friday and Saturday at New Trier High School in Winnetka.

The Red Devils won seven events at the sectional meet and accumulated 273 total points – just 14 points shy of first place Lyons Township. Junior diver Margaret McCarthy took first place in the 1-meter event with a score of 489.05, which is the second-best score heading into the state meet. Senior Marley Marano also advanced to state

in diving with a fourth-place score of 414.55. A pair of Central relay teams took first at sectionals, automatically qualifying for state. The 200-yard medley team of Olivia Yu, Nina Relias, Margaret Kaufman and Jazmin Shenouda took first with a time of 1:47.69. The 400 freestyle team of Yu, Kaufman, Shenouda and Mia Chiappe won with a time of

For state, she is seeded 16th in the 200 and 20th in the 500. Shenouda also won the 100 freestyle (53.24) while Yu won the 100 backstroke (58.41).

Hinsdale South The Hornets finished tied for fifth with 105 points at the Lyons Township sectionals meet. Rachel Hawkin placed second in the 200-yard individual medley and fourth in the 100 backstroke. The 200 medley, 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay teams all finished in sixth place.

Rams’ playmakers among NFL’s best-kept secrets Hub Arkush

Get ready, Bears fans. You’re about to meet some of the best-kept secrets in the NFL. The Bears will face the St. Louis Rams in week 12, and while the sum of its parts is a pedestrian 4-6, there are some young studs on this ballclub who can do some real damage. On paper, this looks like a team the Bears should be able to handle. That’s what the Indianapolis Colts thought two weeks ago before the Rams stormed into Indianapolis and blew them off the field by a 38-8 margin. There are other danger signs. This will be only the second game the Bears have played indoors this year. Their first was in Detroit, where they played their worst game of the season, falling 40-32. The Rams will be the second team

the Bears have faced this year coming off a bye. The Lions came into Chicago for their second meeting after their weekend off and knocked off the Bears, 21-19. Let’s meet Tavon Austin. The Rams traded up eight spots in the first round of this year’s draft to take the 5-foot-8-inch, 176-pound mighty mite out of West Virginia, who, until the Colts game, appeared to be just kind of finding his way. In Indianapolis, he caught 57- and 81-yard touchdowns, and returned four punts for 145 yards, including a 98-yard touchdown. Think Devin Hester, but this guy can play wide receiver, too. St. Louis features a quartet of young running backs – Zac Stacy, Daryl Richardson, Benny Cunningham and Isaiah Pead. Stacy is the new No. 1, with 129 rushes and 537 yards, a 4.2 average and three touchdowns rushing. He also has caught 15 passes for 97 yards and one touchdown receiving. All four backs catch the ball out of the backfield. Richardson has been banged up, and Pead,

the highest draft choice of the four, is buried on the bench. The Rams struggle at receiver. Chris Givens is their No. 1 with 28 receptions and 463 yards for a 16.5 average. Beyond Austin, who has 33 receptions for 345 yards and four touchdowns, Austin Pettis and Brian Quick fill out this pedestrian group. While the Bears were recruiting Martellus Bennett in free agency, the Rams went shopping for Jared Cook. He has 33 receptions for 428 yards and three touchdowns. No. 2 tight end Lance Kendricks is a factor as well with 23 receptions, 172 yards and three touchdowns. Like the Bears, the Rams are in the hands of their backup quarterback, Kellen Clemens. With the franchise, Sam Bradford, out for the year with an ACL tear, Clemens has completed 46 of 86 throws, a 53.5 completion rate, for 634 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions and a 79.3 passer rating. He’s been OK, but nowhere near as effective as Josh McCown. Clemens may be the weak link right now.

The best matchup of the game will feature Jake Long, who is once again healthy and one of the best left tackles in the game, going head-to-head with Julius Peppers. Third-year player Robert Quinn is the NFL’s breakout defensive player of the year. Known as “Little Julius” at North Carolina – an ode to Peppers – before the Rams chose him with the 14th pick in the 2011 first round, Quinn already has 12 sacks and five forced fumbles. He is complimented on the other end by Kyle Long’s big brother, Chris, the second player taken in the 2008 draft. Chris Long has 6½ sacks, one forced fumble and two recovered. Linebackers James Laurinaitis and Alec Ogletree and defensive tackle Michael Brockers are three more first round picks, and Janoris Jenkins, who the Rams took with the 39th pick in the 2012 draft, are all playmakers. This is a big-play defense that is getting better every week. Bears fans best hope they aren’t catching it at the worst possible time.

Rashad Jennings, RB, Oakland

By J.C. TALON Fantasy football writer

Bobby Rainey, RB, Tampa Bay

ries, 163 yards, two touchdowns. Rainey, who was waived earlier in the year by Cleveland, is owned in only 2.2 percent of ESPN leagues. The general consensus was that he would split time with Brian Leonard. In the past two weeks, Rainey has asserted himself, and is clearly the more effective of the two backs. Verdict: Rainey likely will be the guy in Tampa the rest of the way. However, the Bucs’ schedule is brutal. Owners expecting a repeat of week 11 will be disappointed.

Week 11 Performance: 30 car-

Michael Floyd, WR, Arizona

Week 11 Performance: Six receptions, 193 yards, one touchdown Until week 11, Floyd was averaging about six fantasy points per game. I was actually surprised to learn that he is owned in 63.3 percent of ESPN leagues. Those 63 percent must have known something, because Floyd went off for 27 points in week 11. The Cardinals have a favorable schedule the next four weeks, but face the Seahawks and 49ers in weeks 16 and 17. Verdict: Definitely worth a roster spot, Floyd is a decent No. 3 wide receiver or flex option the rest of the way.

Matt McGloin, QB, Oakland Week 11 Performance: 197 yards passing, three touchdowns If you are looking for a back-up quarterback, here’s one thing we know about McGloin: He’s available (owned in

0.2 percent of ESPN leagues). According to the scuttlebutt, McGloin will be given every opportunity to keep the starting job for the rest of the year. Verdict: Perhaps McGloin catches on and develops into a solid pro. He has no fantasy value this season, however.

Garrett Graham, TE, Houston Week 11 Performance: Seven receptions, 136 yards, one touchdown For those in need of a tight end, Graham is owned in about 20 percent of ESPN leagues. He erupted in week 11, scoring his first touchdown since week 5. Owen Daniels could return to the Texans this year, but, given the season Houston is having, it would make more sense to let him sit out the rest of the year. Verdict: Graham would be a nice play in week 12 against the Jags. His value after this week is negligible.

Week 11 featured a number of surprise breakout performers. Some, like Rashad Jennings and Michael Floyd, already were owned in many fantasy leagues. Although these unlikely stars were most often fantasy benchwarmers, owners wise (or lucky) enough to start them received a huge boost in week 11. Other breakout performers came from nowhere. These players, such as Bobby Rainey, most likely reside in waiver land, and are sure to be hot pick-ups this week. As we have learned over the years, one breakout performance does not ensure future productivity. Let’s review the unlikely fantasy stars from week 11, and try to separate the one-week wonders from those worthy of a spot on your roster.

Week 11 Performance: 22 carries, 150 yards, one touchdown. Jennings is owned in less than half (44 percent) of ESPN leagues. Veteran fantasy players are familiar with Jennings – he has had multiple opportunities to fill in for current teammate Darren McFadden and previously for Maurice Jones-Drew. Until recently, he never had failed to disappoint. In the past three weeks, however, he has averaged more than 18 points. In the next two weeks, Jennings has favorable matchups at home versus Tennessee and at Dallas. In weeks 14 and 15, things get tougher (at Jets and versus Kansas City). Verdict: McFadden’s return is not certain. Jennings is a decent stopgap for the next two weeks.
