Kalamaris was in the GreekMerchant Marines, the GreekNavy and in the AmericanArmy during World War Il.
He left his native village inGreece to help out the fam-ily," said Margaret Sfikas, hisdaughter, about her father.
Kalamaris was the oldestson in his family.
Sfikas said her dad startedworking in the boiler roomand worked his way up tobecoming an assistant to thecaptain. In World War li, Ka-lamaris was in the Americanarmy and was stationed inEngland. He was a cook in thearmy and worked until the warwas over. After the war, Kala-maris moved to Chicago.
Kalamaris also had a restau-rant in Greektown and workedfor a Greek painting companyfor more than 40 years, shesaid.
Old pictures of Kalamaris inhis uniform while serving inthe Greek Navy are hung onthe walls in his bedroom.
Kalamaris' granddaughter,Vicki Sfikas, is his caretakerduring the day while her momis working.

Vicki said that her grand-father helped raise her whenshe was a kid and her parentswere working, so she devel-oped a very special bond withher grandfather. She said hergrandfather took her dressshopping and always spoiledher. More importantly, hespent quality time with her andtaught her many things.
Kalamaris was instrumentalin starting the Greek SocietyClub at St. Haralambos GreekOrthodox Church in Niles.This group raises money for a
o
church in St. Chios in Greecewhere he is from and the fundsbenefit people and familiesin need. Father Dean from St.Haralambos came to visit him acouple weeks ago.
Vicki said that the club hestarted decades ago allows hergeneration to truly appreci-ate where they came from inGreece.
Although Kalamaris can'tremember certain things on adaily basis, he still can tell sto-ries from his past.
"He still recognizes me,the grandchildren and thegreat-grandchildren," shared
Margaret.And even at 100 years old,
Kalamaris could still be caughtdancing. He was in good healthuntil the past few years whenhe fell down and hurt his hip.
At Thanksgiving, he wasthe life of the party here," saidMargaret.
Patient, loving and caring areall words Margaret uses to de-scribe her dad.
"All his friends are gone, buttheir children and grandchil-dren have always said howhe's a good man. Everybodyloves him in our little Greekcommunity," she said. U

School visitors mayget fingerprint,background checksIBY NATASHA WASINSKI I Contributor
Culver School may soon roll outnew security procedures for visitorsto the building, which include par-ents of students.
Under a proposal for volunteerscreening, community resource per-Sons, parents and others visiting theschool would undergo a criminal-his-tory record check and be fingerprint-ed before interacting with children.
The fingerprinting requirementwould be congruent with the publichigh schools' policy, which currentlystates District 219 volunteers mustsubmit to a fingerprint-based crimi-nal history records check.
The elementary school district isalso looking to refine its proceduresfor handling disruptive parents.
Superintendent Amy Kruppe saidguardians of students are required toschedule appointments in advance.However, there have been instancesof parents demanding to see schoolpersonnel immediately.
"We've had some ongoing is-sues," Kruppe said. "We practice no
ci: 1111111111 ci:j
bullying and things like that for kids,and we want to make sure teachersand administrators are treated thatway, too."
The district defines "uncivil" ac-tions to include threats, threateninggestures, raised voices, and "anyother behavior that may, at the solediscretion of administration, be de-termined to be disruptive to the edu-cational environment."
"In order to ensure a safe and sup-portive learning environment NuesElementary School District 71 willnot tolerate disruptive behavior byparents," states the policy underconsideration. "Parents who aredisruptive on school property will beremoved."
Kruppe said the district needsdocumentation of the rules in orderto call for police enforcement, ifnecessary.
The District 71 Board of Educationgave preliminary support during afirst reading of the revised policieslast month.

Three teenage boys were arrested afterthey were allegedly involved in an attackon an 18-year-old Niles man who had askedthem to leave his property.
Two Niles boys, ages 16 and 17, and a17-year-old Park Ridge boy were eachcharged with mob action and criminal tres-pass in the March 2 incident that occurredjust before 10 p.m. on the 7700 block ofOleander Avenue, south of Jonquil TerracePark.
An 18-year-old Niles man told police hewas snowboarding with his friends in thebackyard of his Oleander Avenue homewhen a group of teens in Jonquil TerracePark started throwing eggs at them. Ashort time later, the victim reported hearingscreams at the front of the house. When hewent to investigate, he saw about 10 juve-niles from the park walking up the driveway,Niles police said.

According to police, one of the suspects,identified as the 16-year-old Niles boy, washolding a long metal pipe which he used tostrike the victim in the face after the victimtold the group to leave the driveway.
After being struck, the victim reportedthat his jacket hood was pulled over hishead and he was pushed to the ground andpunched by multiple individuals until hisfriends arrived to break up the attack.
Police said some of the suspects ran off,while others got into a vehicle and droveaway. Officers located three of the teens atthe corner of Howard Street and Olcott Av-enue and they were positively identified bythe victim as being involved in the attack,police said. A metal pipe was also report-edly recovered from the backyard of thevictim's home.
In addition to the mob action and tres-pass charge, the 16-year-old Niles boy wasalso charged with battery, police said.
All three teens were charged as juveniles.Their court petitions were pending. U

With rising poverty, more flexibility at schoolsBY NATASHA WASINSKI I Contributor
More students will benefit from Title I pro-gramming next year when East Maine SchoolDistrict 63 transitions to using the federal dollarsschool-wide.
Currently, five of the district's seven schools- Apollo, Twain, Nelson, Stevenson and Gemini
Pioneer Press
- are considered "targeted-assistance schools"under Title I. The designation requires the goy-ernment funds to only be used for lower-incomestudents who are at-risk for academic failure.
Enacted in 1965, Title I is the nation's old-est program to help students of poor families

achieve high academic standards.Last year the poverty levels at the district's
elementary schools and junior high exceeded40 percent, thus making them eligible to imple-ment the Title I program school-wide. Poverty ismeasured by the percentage of students who areeligible for free and reduced lunch.
"This allows flexibility to expand programs toother classrooms," said Charlene Cobb, executivedirector of teaching and learning.
In the fall, principals and teachers at the dis-trict's Title I schools conducted a needs analysisto plan for how they would function under thenew designation, she explained.
Apollo School, for example, seeks to purchaseiPads for kindergarten classes to support differ-entiated learning and help all students becometechnologically literate.
Providing additional tutoring opportunities, in-creasing parental involvement, and assisting stu-dents with special needs are other ways in whichthe schools expect to use Title I funds.
The District 63 Board of Education approvedthe school-wide plans for Title I programmingMarch 6.
While usage of the funds is still regulated bythe government, the school-wide designationcreates less restrictions.
Currently, literacy specialists whose salariesare covered by Title I may only provide directassistance to children who qualify as at-risk. Asa result, students are typically pulled from theirgeneral education classroom to receive the sup-plementary services.
Under a school-wide Title I program, a para-professional could work alongside a teacher andhelp all students.
"lt enables them to support teachers more ef-fectively rather than saying, "I can work with thisstudent instead of that student," Cobb said.
She said at-risk children would benefit, too,since they won't lose important instructional timeto a "fractured day."
"The greater amount of time a student canspend in a class with a highly-qualified teacherand someone who can come in to support thatteacher is of great benefit to them," she said.
Switching from targeted-assistance to aschool-wide program will not impact the amountof Title I dollars the district receives, Cobbsaid, which this year amounts to approximately$979,000. U

District 207 giving back tax dollarsBY TRACY GRUEN IContributor
Taxpayers in Maine Town-ship High School Dist. 207will see lower property taxbills as a result of a move bythe cash-flush board of edu-cation last week.
At District 207's regularboard on Monday, March 4,the board decided to giveback $1 million in propertytaxes.
"I think this is the greatesttestament to the coopera-tion between the board andthe administration," saidBoard Member Eric Leys,who is the chairman of theFinance Committee.
The abatement was due to
the district having a $3 mil-lion surplus in the budget,explained Dist. 207 BusinessDirector Mary Kalou. Shesaid this is the first time thedistrict has done this.
Kalou said that they ear-marked $2 million of thatsurplus for future capitalprojects and the other $1million will go back to thetaxpayers, who should seethe decrease in their tax billsin August.
On a $11,000 tax bill, thiswould amount to about $30in savings for taxpayers,noted Kalou.

budgets? " asked BoardMember Margaret McGrath.
Kalou explained that thedistrict does have a numberof projects in its 10-yearbuilding plan, but they want-ed to both put money asidefor the upcoming capitalprojects and also give backto the taxpayers.
The goal was to do a win-win," said Kalou.
Dist 207 Supt. Ken Wal-lace noted that, on the plusside, the district spends a'much higher amount oneducation" than some of thesurrounding school districts.He said they spend a smalleramount of money on capi-tal projects and they will beevaluating that in the future.
Board Member Donna Pel-lar abstained from voting onthe tax abatement. All otherboard members voted in fa-vor of the abatement.
"I'm just nervous aboutthe future," said Pellar, whosaid she was in favor of theidea of giving money backto the community.
Kalou said that currentlythere's a large amount ofuncertainty in terms of stateand federal funding.
"With this action, we haveset a new precedent thatMaine 207 only keeps thetax dollars needed to sup-port education programsand prioritizes returningmoney to taxpayers overbuilding reserves," Leys
said in a statement after themeeting.
Leys explained that thefinance committee will regu-larly consider the possibilityof a property tax abatementevery year moving forward.
Three years ago, Dist. 207made significant reductionsin their expenditures in or-der to have a healthy bud-get. In his statement, Leyscredited administration andboard members for makingthe necessary changes to beable to have a surplus andgive back to the taxpayers.Leys and other members ofthe finance committee werealso applauded for their ef-forts to make the abatementpossible.

Culver kids write their own novels.1 BY NATASHA WASINSKI I
Contributor
In another world, 13-year-oldJenni BalIin doubles as a CIAagent named Regne who's onthe run.
The Culver School sev-enth-grader created herfictional alter ego to star ina 40,000-word story she re-cently penned, titled "In theShadows."
Ballin expects to self-publishthe book by spring break at theend of the month, an ambitiousgoal for a teen made possibleby a national young writersprogram.
Culver students ¡n Katie Ra-nalli's enrichment class wrotestories as part of National Nov-el Writing Month, held annuallyin November.
In between the Thanksgiv-¡ng holiday break and theirtypical school workloads, thirdthrough eighth graders at theNiles elementary school tappedaway on keyboards connectedto iPads, each with a differentword-count goal in mind.
Younger students wrotenovels of at least 800 words.Eighth graders wrote between
10,000 and 30,000 words,though some, like Ballin, aimedhigher.
Writers who reached theirgoal in 30 days are eligible toreceive five free paperbackcopies of their finished booksfrom Amazon company Cre-ateSpace if submitted online byJune.
The young authors are now
in different stages of the pub-lishing process, be it addingmore to a story, editing for cor-rect spelling and grammar, orcreating a book cover.
Some Culver students havebooks already for sale on Ama-zon.com, including "The Lon-don Lamp," by fourth-graderSydney Schroeder, and "TheLove Story" by Erika Karalli
and "The Adventures of WeirdMan" by Paul Yousif, both thirdgraders.
"They have the potential toearn royalties if enough sell,"Ranalli said. "That gets theirentrepreneurial brains going."
But the project's biggesttakeaway is believing they arewriters in the first place.
"They think authors are theseuntouchable people," Ranallisaid. "I want them to considerthemselves authors.
" lt's about getting creativityout and building up confidenceas a writer."
To better understand thehard work her students put intothe project, Ranalli participatedin the program, too, writinga 50,000-word novel called"Memories of Boys."
Authoring a book was noeasy task, she said, but like herstudents she found the experi-ence to be meaningful.
"Sometimes (students) getfrustrated about what it takes(to write)," Ranalli said, addingthe project "really got themexcited about the whole writingprocess."
Eighth-grader Nicholas Sto-chmal said participating gave
him the push he needed to putinto words a story he's pon-dered for a while.
"I was able to finish some-thing I was proud of," said Sto-chmal, 14.
The project also allowed fordifferentiation in learning, asstudents wrote according totheir own abilities and personalgoals, and not for a standard-ized score.
Twelve-year-old YourtanaSulaiman said writing mightsometimes be difficult but thatisn't stopping her from writinga sequel to her fantasy novel"The Map to Fortuna."
For her, content trumped thework of editing.
"I can't bring myself to reviseit," Sulaiman said.
On the other hand, SedraKhan, 13, wants to perfect hernovel before publishing it. Shesaid writing for fun and not fora grade helped motivate stu-dents to think creatively.
"If you have no mind filter, Ithink it helps," added Ballin.
The longtime " Harry Potter"fan had another tip for becom-ing a successful storyteller:"You have to be a reader to bea writer," she said. U

Village trusteesChris Hanusiak andAndrew Przybyloare competing forthe top spot inNues, to be the newmayor.
The Nues Herald-Spectatortalked to both candidatesabout why they want to lead.
What is your vision for thevillage?
Hanusiak: The vision isto continue the 2030 pIanand get more of the publicinvolved. We've done a lotof things over the last fewyears with the 2030 pIan,streetscape on MilwaukeeAve. and keeping the taxeslow.
Przybylo: To bring back ahealthy and stable businesseconomy that could supportquality services that residentshave come to expect at thelowest possible property taxrate. I would also like to putforth some new managementskills for various departmentsin the Village of Niles. CookCounty has performancemanagement and it's evolvedto the point where budgetplanning is being done byyour performance.
What do you feel the roleof the mayor is?
Hanusiak: To set the agen-da for the village and haveoversight about what goes ondaily. Not to micromanage,but to have oversight aboutwhat's going on in the village.Also communicating to thebusinesses and citizens and

going to events and support-¡ng the events.
Przybylo: I suppose therole of the mayor is to leadand manage the council. Themayor does have power toappoint committees. I'd liketo see each trustee in chargeof one or two departments.(For example, a trustee wouldbe in charge of a Safety Corn-mittee). It would give thetrustees the chance to focuson something specific as op-posed to running around vil-lage haIl and doing odd jobsand sometimes interferingwith the staff.
Why are you best-suited tobe mayor?
Hanusiak: I'm a businessowner and have leadershipskills. I have the time to beable to do things. We needthe oversight, someone needsto be here in the office, nota phone call away, but to behere. We have an $80 million
budget, we need peoplewho are responsible and areleaders.
Przybylo: I've been therequite a long time so I knowthe village. I know the villagein terms of the people andservices that the village pro-vides. I know how it can bedone better. I am someonefrom the business communitywho has managed a businesswith a significant payroll forover 20 years. Coming fromcounty government for 10years, I see a whole differ-ent picture. I have a businessbackground and willingnessto work with businesses andknowledge of how to workwith businesses.
How would you describethe village's financialpicture?
Hanusiak: Financially, we'rea healthy community. Thebiggest thing that needs tobe taken care of is funding
the pensions. Over the lastthree years, we put moremoney into the pensions thanwe did previously in the last9 years.
Przybylo: The village finan-cial picture is fine. The onlything that's hanging out thereis pension contributions, butevery year we do what is re-quired, plus. The fact of thematter is there is no jeopardyto the pension fund. My op-ponents want to play that up.The Village of Niles and itsretired employees are in goodshape.
Efforts have been madeto make Niles governmentmore transparent. Havethese been successful?Should anything else bedone?
Hanusiak: We voted fortelevised meetings. Why hidewhat's going on in the vil-lage? People need to be in-formed. I'd like to see not just

Emanuel summons Tunney, Cubs Pension cap proposal survivesto meeting on Wrigley signs test vote ¡n Illinois House
Aid. Tom Tunney (44th) can talk as tough as hewants. Mayor Rahm Emanuei holds the cards in theCubs' dispute with the rooftops over Wrigley Fieldsignage that's holding up a $300 million pian torenovate the 99-year-old ballpark.
That much was perfectly clear on March 7 whenEmanuel summoned Tunney and Cubs ChairmanTom Ricketts to City Hall.
The closed-door meeting marked the mayor'slatest and most direct attempt to satisfy the Cubs'demand to resolve their signage dispute by Open-ing Day to avoid losing yet another constructionseason.
Tunney told reporters he would not agree to theCubs' request to lift city restrictions on outfieldsigns and night games and open Sheffield Avenuefor street fairs on game days without a deal thatincludes more remote parking and police protec-tion after Cubs games.
The Cubs say they need those new revenues tobankroll renovations without a public subsidy.
"The mayor knows there's a bottom line to makethis work. There needs to be some ability to havesome signs inside the ballpark. There's a floor to beable to finance this project," said a source close tothe Cubs, refusing to reveal a specific number ofsigns.

SPRINGFIELD
A day after Goy. Pat Quinn upbraided lawmak-ers for inaction on the state's multibillion-dollarpension mess, House members found a proposalthey could get behind, backing a measure to limitthe salary on which a public employee's retirementbenefits could be based.
The measure - part of a leading proposal to bailIllinois out of its $96.7 billion pension crisis - waspresented as a test vote March 7 as lawmakers con-tinue to feel their way toward a universally agree-able solution.
Two Republicans joined Democrats in the 65-7vote in favor of the amendment, which would capthe salary that pension benefits are based on at thelimit set for Social Security, currently $113,000 ayear. Supporters say it could save Illinois $1 billiona year.
Another 43 Republicans didn't vote, in protest ofthe process.
Quinn on Wednesday blamed legislators' mac-tion on the pension problem for what he called"the most difficult budget Illinois has ever faced."His $62.4 billion spending blueprint cuts $400 mil-lion from public education and proposes changingstate law to slice $241 million from what otherwiseare statutorily required payments to programs, ser-vices and research.

Easter egg roll on for now, butWhite House tours are off
The White House says it is going forward withplans for its 135-year tradition of the Easter eggroll, while dashing the hopes of some Iowa chu-dren who hoped to visit the president's home.
Sixth graders at St. Paul's Lutheran School inWaverly, Iowa, had their upcoming visit canceledas the White House suspended all tours underacross-the-board government spending cuts in apartisan budget battle.
The disappointed class put a video on Face-book asking for the tour to be reinstated. "TheWhite House is our house, please let us visit," thechildren say in unison.
The tours have become a political flashpointalong with the rest of the budget battle, with Re-publicans arguing the suspension is a stunt andquestioning how much it will really save.
Presidential press secretary Jay Carney said lastweek that the Secret Service needs to make un-fortunate trade-offs like all federal agencies, andits options included canceling tours, furloughingstaff or cutting overtime. "In order to allow theSecret Service to best fulfill its core mission, theWhite House made the decision that we wouldunfortunately have to temporarily suspend thesetours," Carney said. "I'm not suggesting it's a hap-py choice, but it is one that we had to make."

uTime for speaker to leadGoy. Pat Quinn did all the talkingin Springfield last week.
But the two guys standing behind him ultimatelywill decide if and how Illinois digs out of its seem-ingly bottomless financial hole. In Democrat-domi-nated Springfield, those two men are House Speak-er Michael J. Madigan and Senate President JohnCullerton. Quinn acknowledged as much during hisbudget address to the Illinois General Assembly.
Quinn once again made the powerful case forcutting public employee pension costs whilealso upbraiding legislators for failing to pass acomprehensive pension reform bill. There is littledoubt his words were aimed mainly at the leaderswho do the corralling, cajoling and strong-armingneeded to get a bill passed.
They talk boldly about cutting pensions, but theDemocratic leaders are not on the same page tomake it happen. They need to get there, with MikeMadigan leading the way.
The speaker wields unmatched influence, in partbecause no one ever knows where he stands.
It's past time for Madigan to make his viewscrystal clear.
Guys love sportsbecause everyonce in a while,something thathas never hap-pened beforehappens.
Between the monotony of thou-sands of balls and strikes, runningplays that end with no yards and acloud of dust, or the first 47 minutesof every NBA game, sometimes light-ning strikes.

Q: What Steps Cfl I take to stop my dog from 3guarding2his food?
A: Food guarding is a behavioral issue that can quiddybecome an element of possessive aggression. The dog candisplay this possessiveness by growling, showing his teethand perhaps even snapping at someone that gets to closeto him while he is eating.
There are some steps that can be taken to help avoid thissituation and even reduce it if it is already taking piace.
If you are crate training your dog, feed him inside thecrate with the door closed. This action can give the dogmore sense of security while he is eating.
Do not leave food down all day for your dog to graze.When you feed your dog, give him about 15 minutes toeat. After this time has elapsed. pick up the food and donot put it back down until the next meal. Repeat the samepractice. A healthy dog will not starve itself to death.

Disregard the above if your vet advises you.
When you feed your do put small amounts of food inthe bowl. When your dog has consumed this amount, putsome more food in the bowl. Continue this until the doghas had eaten the necessaiy portion.
Another option is to actually feed the dog from yourhand, a little bit of food at a time.
If you have small children, instnict them to leave thedog alone while it is eating. This is paramount.

District 207 board candidates face offBY IAN FULLERTON IContributor
The seven individuals who willbe seated to the board of MaineTownship High School District207 this April have their workin no way cut out for them, asevident in the recent hazing!sex abuse case that is currentlyunraveling at Maine West High,one of three schools in thedistrict.
Pioneer Press reached out tothe eight candidates (includingthree incumbents) presentlyvying to steer the district. Here'swhat they had to say.
Board incumbentEric Leys on...
...his decision to seek an-other term: When I first soughtelection to the District 207School Board, it was about con-tributing to my community anda high school district that I love,as well as taking on the chal-lenge of improving an alreadyexcellent school district. Twelveyears and three terms later, I amstill engaged and enjoy comingup with solutions to the manychallenges that arise.
...whether he supports annu-al tax-levy increases: I do not.strongly believe that the schooldistrict (and any governmentunit) should only take from tax-payers what is required to oper-ate the essential services withwhich they are charged. Whenan unintended surplus exists, Ifirmly believe that the moneyshould be returned to taxpayersin the form of a tax abatement,
MaryChilders
Carla Owen
rather than building reserves....seeking a referendum in
the case of a financial down-turn within the district: I believethat a prudent school boardis responsible to take steps toensure that it is not necessary toask taxpayers for money via ref-erendum. Maine 207 has shownleadership in this area.
...the current administra-tion's handling of the MaineWest hazing/sexual assaultcase: Due to pending activityin this area, I cannot commentspecifically on this matter.
Generally, it is not only theadministration's responsibility,but the responsibility of everyadult in each of our campusesto ensure that hazing does notoccur under any circumstances,and that students are alwaysprotected first and foremost.
Board incumbentEldon Burk on...
...his background: I began myteaching career in Albuquerque,N.M. in 1958, coming to MaineWest in 1963 after spending ayear in Iowa in graduate school.Since retirement I have beeninvolved in many communityactivities such as serving onthe Des Plaines United Way
Eldon Burk Eric Leys
for many years, serving on theDes Plaines Library Board for 15years and a Des Plaines Kiwan-ian since 1972.
...the prospect of annual taxlevy increases: I do support anannual tax levy. The tax levyshould be used as a line of cred-it. If you need it and don't haveit, you can be in real trouble; youcan't go back a year or two andsay now we need it. However,in saying that we need the taxlevy, I feel very strongly that ifthe money asked for doesn'tneed to be used to maintainour programs, then the boardshould provide an abatementfor that given year.
...supporting a district refer-endum: I would like to say neveron this one, however, never s along time and who knows whatthe future holds. If the buildingneeds of the district changedrastically in the next 5 to 10years (massive increase in en-rollments, etc.) it might becomenecessary, however, that doesnot seem to be the trend inMaine Township.
...the hazing scandal: I be-lieve the administration is mak-ing the necessary correctionsand setting new guidelines forstaff and students regarding thesoccer hazing situation. I believe"all" students and staff will be

much more aware of the prob-ems of hazing and will be muchmore aware of what might begoing on with a team or club,etc. regarding hazing.
Board candidateMary C. Childerson......her background and con-nection with the district: Asa licensed substitute teacherfor Suburban Cook County, Iconsistently see how importantpublic education is to the fami-lies of our community.
In my family, all five childrengrew up in Park Ridge and aregraduates of Maine Township207 schools.
...why she is seeking a placeon the board: [Attended aBoard of Education Financecommittee meeting last year]solidified my desire and corn-mitment to serve on the
207 board. An active part ofmy life is spent talking to peoplethroughout the district at manycommunity events. I will usethese channels to insure that Iam consistently informed with avariety of perspectives.
...annual levy increasesand referenda: In the currenteconomic environment, a tax
increase of any sizeshould be a last re-sort. I also disagreewith the practiceused by some otherschool districts in thecommunity of askingthe voters for moremoney by referen-dum. As a school
board member, I would do mypart to insure that District 207never follows suit.
...the hazing scandal: SinceI am not a current board mem-ber, I am not privy to all of theconfidential details of this trag-edy. From my perspective, it is aprimary responsibility of everysingle board member and everysingle adult in the school districtto ensure that every student isprotected and no student eversuffers in a situation such as this.
Board candidate JinLee on...
...his background: l've beena member of the NortheasternIllinois University Board of Trust-ees since 2005 and was electedVice-Chair in 2008, 2010 and2012. Since 1997, I have been theDirector of Government Pela-tions and Business Planning &Development for the AlbanyPark Community Center inChicago (a not-for-profit socialservice agency).
...his reason for running: Asa parent and someone veryinvolved in the community, I re-alize it is our responsibility andobligation to provide the bestquality education for our stu-dents and future generations.
MargaretMcGrath
As a School Board member,I promise to advocate for thefolIowng objectives: shape ourschools to reflect the global so-ciety for our students, see thatevery student receives equalaccess to all opportunities, andbring stability, predictabilityand transparency to the schoolboard's budgeting process.
.on annual tax-levy increas-es and referenda: Since I'm notin favor of supporting an annualtax levy increase, this shouldonly be brought to the table ifhaving no increase would ad-versely impact the quality ofeducation or safety of everyoneat the schools.
Maine Township is known fortheir quality schools. There-fore, I believe it is definitely afactor when families decide tobecome a new resident andwe must maintain that level ofexcellence. However, I wouldonly support a referendum toincrease property taxes if thedistrict's health takes a dramat-ic downturn on the quality ofeducation, safety, maintenance,etc. Our residents are alreadypaying too much in taxes.
...the Maine West hazing!sexual assauLtcase: I agreewith the board's actions tosharpen their focus on the rootof the alleged hazing problems,and I support implementationof a policy that would requireeveryone to sign an anti-hazingpledge, organizing focusgroups to study the matter,and establishing a telephonehotline where students can callin anonymously. However, I alsobelieve the school board shouldwork closely with the teachers'union and make sure that dueprocesses are being followed.
Board incumbentMargaret C. Mc-Grath on...
...her background: I am anemployee benefits and ex-ecutive compensation attorney
working for a global financialservices firm; previously Iworked for law firms in Chi-cago. I have three children, twoare graduates of Maine Southand my youngest is a freshmanat South.
...her decision to seek an-other term with the board:The board faced tough budgetdecisions and pursued a newdirection in its most recentcontract with teachers, a direc-tion that is sustainable for thetaxpayers, fair for the teach-ers, and allows the district tocontinue recruiting the bestteachers available but thosechanges must be maintainedfor the district to remain finan-cially healthy for the long term.The district has faced a numberof non-financial challenges, in-cluding the hazing scandal thatis currently being addressed,and I want to continue the workthat has been done to make thedistrict a better, safer place forstudents.
...annual tax-levy increasesand referenda: I think a blanketanswer to this question is im-possible. Tax levies should beconsidered by the board basedon the information available atthe time of the levy; it has to beinformed by the needs of thedistrict over the long term andmust consider the unknownssuch state funding and shiftingof pension liabilities from theState of Illinois to the district.
...hazing at Maine West: Theadministration has fully cooper-ated with DCFS, the Des Plainespolice, and the state's attorney.While we would all like to seethis move more swiftly to aresolution, we must work withinthe requirements of the law toensure that due process is af-forded to all accused parties.
Board appointeeCarla R. Owen on...
...her interest ¡n continu-¡ng to serve on the board: I
decided to run for the District207 School Board because Iwant to help lead the districtinto the future. I believe we areat a very crucial point in history.The world after high school isvery challenging, because thejob market is constricted andthe competition is more globalthan it has ever been. I believewe have to give our studentsthe best preparation for the f u-ture that we can.
...district finances: Since be-ing appointed to the board, Ihave spent time getting up tospeed on our finances. Carefulplanning in the past has put thedistrict in good shape finan-cially. In the past, when we werefacing financial issues, the ad-ministration and the board tookstrong steps to correct thoseproblems by cutting expensesand eliminating jobs. Thoughthose cuts were painful, theyachieved the necessary result.
...the hazing case at MaineWest: Hazing cannot be toler-ated anywhere in the district.The district has had policies andprocedures in place for a num-ber of years to prevent haz-ing but because of the MaineWest situation, more needsto be done to ensure that ourstudents are safe and feel safein school and in their extracur-ricular activities throughout thedistrict.
Board candidateJeffrey S. Speroon...
seeking a spot on theboard: t was always in theback of my mind three yearsago when my daughter startedat Maine West and I startedwith the Community AdvisoryCouncil.
Ultimately, I made my deci-sion to run on how much I cur-rently have invested with mytwo children currently attend-ing Maine West and a third oneon the way. On a larger scale, I
feel like I'm ready to make thecommitment to the communityand try to make a difference inthe lives of our students.
...school district finances:The past few years have def i-
nitely been rough for taxpayers,students, teachers, and admin-istrators in District 207. Luckily,the district has come out of therecession with a little more sta-bility than before.
I would not be at all surprisedif general funding cuts or pen-sion reform from Springfieldhave a major negative impact inthe next few years.
...the possible need for adistrict referendum: At themoment, I would not supporta referendum movement. As Isaid earlier, I believe the districthas taken the necessary stepsto prevent a crisis state. Refer-endums must be used only incases of extreme need.
...the Maine West hazing!sexual assault case: Overall, thedistrict has responded appro-priately to the allegations itself.However, I am disappointedthat there has been so littledirect interaction and dialoguewith the student body at all theschools in the district. I realizethat things may have been go-ing on behind the scenes, butI can't help thinking that therehas been too much attentionplaced on administrative pro-ceedings and lawsuits.
Board candidateSean M. Story on...
...his background: Long-timePark Ridge resident, where Icurrently live today with mywife and two children, ages 4and 1.
I am currently a Vice Presi-dent at Northern Trust in theirCommercial Banking division,working with private equityfunds, not-for-profits, privateschools, and traditional middle-market companies. In the pastI had worked at JPMorgan in
NIL__THURSDAY,MARCH.14, 2013 I 23
Schoolpioneerlocaicom
their Private Banking Division,and Large Corporate Commer-cial Banking Division.
...his decision to run: My wifeand I have invested ourselvesin Park Ridge, and to raise ourchildren in this great commu-nity and attend the excellentschool systems. Having been aproduct of District 207, I wouldlike to play an integral part ingiving back to our communityand helping invest in the ongo-ing success of D207 as a wholegiven that my children will alsobeing there!
...annual tax-levy increases:Given that property taxesconsist of 3/4 of the districtsrevenues, assessing increaseswould be a primary consider-ation as long as the increasewas in line with tax cap legisla-tion, and warranted based onincreases in expenditures asthey relate to improving theschools within the district (andalways after assessing howcurrent resources are beingallocated to curb excess spend-ing and mitigate the impact ofany potential future revenueneeds).
...going to referendum ifthe district's financial healthtakes a downturn: We wouldhave to assess the severity ofthe downturn, as well other po-tential options and act accord-ingly in the best interest of thedistrict and how the actions atthat time would affect the sub-ject communities.
...preventing events likethe Maine West hazing scan-dal: The board can look todevelop leadership initiativesfor throughout athletic pro-grams that promote positiveteam building efforts (i.e. ropescourses, small team outings,and assigning veteran mentorsto newcomers, etc.). It must beeveryone's responsibility to pre-vent hazing, however, the boardcan work to be proactive inpreventative measures throughworking to develop such pro-grams and initiatives. U

Aff y Tapple's chocolateand caramel coated appleshave been fundraisingstaples for over fifty years.But what many people don'trealize is that, for the past12 years, those apples havebeen made in Niles.
Affy Tapplefactory store
7425 N. croname RoadMonday-Friday: 9 a.m.-5 p.m.Saturday: 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
Long based in Chicago,Affy Tapple moved to Nilesin 2000 in an effort toexpand its facilities with-out losing too many of itsworkers. Since then, it has
continued to help schools,churches and other orga-nizations with fundraisingby offering well-recognizedproducts at affordable pric-es. And while the economicdownturn has dented fund-raising orders somewhat, itremains an important part ofAffy Tapple's business.
The company traces itsroots to the Kastrup family,who pioneered the conceptof caramel-dipped applesin 1948. In 1952, the fam-ily opened its first store
Longtime candy apple vendor Affy Tapple has been based ¡nNues since 2000. The company's factory store ¡n Niles offersgoods year-round. IGOR STUDENKOV-For Sun-Times Media
in Chicago's Rogers Parkneighborhood. According toAffy Tapple's official web-site, the name came frompure business pragmatism -it would be the first name ¡nthe phone book.
In 2000, the companymoved to a larger, moremodern facility in Nues. Ac-cording to Kenneth Waity,an Affy Tapple customerservice manager, the choiceof location came down towhat made the most eco-nomic sense. The proximity
to Chicago was also an im-portant factor.
"They wanted to relocatesomewhere the workerscould reach, so they couldkeep the majority of theworkforce," he said.
Affy Tapple has been sup-plying products for fund-raisers since 1960, and thecompany continues to lookfor ways to enhance the ex-perience. Its current websiteoffers a number of toolsfundraisers can use, includ-¡ng a fundraising tool kit, an
online profit calculator and acustomer hotline.
In addition to its originalcaramel coated apples, AffyTapple offers several typescaramel and chocolate-coated apples, some ofwhich are coated with pea-nuts, chocolate chips andsprinkles.
According to Waity, thereis no one product most peo-ple seem to prefer - though
they do have preferencesabout the apple inside.
"Granny Smith - that's theapple that's most popular,"he said. 'But we can't alwaysguarantee [our products]would have Granny applesinside. lt could be Michi-gan apples, or some otherapples, depending on what'savailable."
In some ways, AffyTapple offerings advertise
themselves"A lot of people grew up
with our product," said Wa-ity. "lt's well-known through-out Chicagoland, so there'srecognition."
There also offer a gooddeal. Affy Tapple offers theirproducts in 24-apple cases.Each case costs $20.00, or$0.83 per apple. If a fund-raiser orders more thantwenty cases, the case price

Keep your kids safeonline with these tipsfrom national experts.
According to the Crimes AgainstChildren Research Center (www.ojj-dp.gov), 66 percent of children whosee online pornography are exposedto it as a result of unintentional ex-posure caused by pop-up ads, er-roneous search results and emailspam. To combat this issue, as well asprotect our children from a multitudeof other dangers, forensic pediatri-cian and child abuse expert Leena S.Dey recommends talking to your kidsabout the potential issues related toonline usage.
"Parents should let their kids knowthat they should absolutely come tothem any time and every time theysee somethir'g unusual pop up on thecomputer screen," Dey said. "Evenif it's something as simple as a lowbattery indicator, it's a good idea toget kids into the habit of telling theirparents about anything that doesn'tseem quite right."
Just as we teach young kids to"never talk to strangers," we needto teach our children about avoid-
"Technology can threatenyour kids without you evenknowing it," says Joe Mason,author of Bankrupt At Birth,which details the recent riseof child identity theft. "As anation, we've become tootrusting and parents havegrown accustomed to sharingtheir kids' personal informa-tion with doctors, schools,insurance companies andthe like. If this informationsomehow falls into the handsof the wrong person, yourchild's ID could be stolenwithin a blink of the eye, re-suIting in years of red tapeand credit issues."
Mason recommends parentsbecome more selfish whenit comes to sharing personalinformation by asking ques-
tionssuchas whythe in-form a -tion isneededandwhat procedures are in place should there be abreach in security. For more information aboutBankrupt at Birth, including more ways you cankeep your kids' identities protected, visit www.bankruptatbirthbook.com.

they are online. In fact, sometimesolder men or women can pose askids for nefarious reasons. Bartonsuggests that parents set up bound-aries and guidelines for their kids'Internet usage such as enforcing a

policy where they can only communi-cate with people whom they actuallyknow in real life.
Social media expert Britt Michae-ian (brittmichae-lian.com) recom-mends setting upGoogle alerts withyour kids' namesso you can bealerted any timetheir names ap-pear online. Youcan also installcomputer pro-grams that moni-tor, block or filteryour children's online activities. Butbe careful, as even the best programshave flaws and workarounds whichmake them more like safety helmetsor seat belts, rather than fail-safe se-curity systems.

In the "olden days" (i.e. pre-smart-phones and tablets), parents could"protect" their kids by keeping thefamily computer in a centralizedlocation where parents could eas-ily monitor all activity. These days,the Internet is everywhere and so-cial media has become a way of life.Therefore, it's vital for parents toteach their kids to be ethical digitalcitizens. In part two of this series(which will be published next month)we will explore what it means to bean ethical digital citizen and look atways we can empower our kids tosafely engage within the world of so-cial media.
Spring clean your plateBY VERONICA HINKE I Contributor

Spring cleaning can be just asimportant for your diet as it is foryour wardrobe.
Spring officially begins withthe arrival of the vernal equi-nox on March 20. Whether itfeels like it or not, it's time toget ready for warmer weather.More than looking good, thatmeans feeling good. Detoxifyfrom all of those wintery carbswith seasonal foods that dou-ble as cleansing agents.
"Your body is much happiereating according to season,"says Anh Iran, a nutrition
consultant and licensedacupuncturist. "In spring, ev-eryone wants to start feelinglighter for summer. Seasonaltune-ups are important."
Through her Points ofWellness offices in ArlingtonHeights and Long Grove,
Tran counsels on ways to rid toxins and begin freshfor spring. The Vernon Hills resident had a jump-starton many health-conscious individuals: She was raisedamong a Chinese-Vietnamese influence.
Anh Tran of Vernon Hillscooks up a stir fry ofwood ear mushrooms,pork and green onion. IMICHAEL SCHMIDT-Sun-
nes Media
When following a spring cleanse diet, Tran often workswith ingredients like scallions and ginger and frequentlyturns edible flowers like dandelions, violets, lavenderand chrysanthemums into flavorful, detoxifying teas, or"tisanes." She pours boiling water over the flowers andadds a little honey or rock sugar as a sweetener.
In a springtime stir-fry, she includes a curious cleans-ing ingredient: wood ear mushroom. The mushroom,which is available through most Asian grocers and mar-kets, is used in Chinese medicine to prevent heart dis-ease as it helps control cholesterol.
"Cooked wood ear mushrooms have a dark color anda crisp texture that just soaks up flavor," Tran says. "Evenafter they are soaked in water, they still have a crunchytexture."
And some of her recipes feature more familiar ingredi-ents. Trans delicious asparagus and crabmeat soup cel-ebrates the season of those sturdy, green spears.
"Asparagus, according to Chinese medicine, is coolingin nature," she says. "Its action is to clear heat, detoxifyand promote blood circulation."
The popular vegetable has a recognizable smell whenit is cooked.
"That funny smell when you cook asparagus is sulfur,"explains Karen Raden, a registered dietician with an of-fice in Northbrook. "Asparagus is a good source of sulfurand glutathione, which both help to support detoxifica-tion. Asparagus is also an excellent source of folic acid,which is so important for heart health, and potassium,which is a natural diuretic."

Salon savant MarioThcoci styles his idealSunday ¡n ChicagoBY ZAK STEMER
TMario
Thcoci let his coil go wild, hecould pass for a mad scientist and itwould be a fairly apt description. Theexpert stylist and founder of MarioThcoci Salons & Day Spas likes to take
hair care and boil it down to its chemical corn-ponents, determined to find the holy grail ofthe industry hair rejuvenation. "People want tohave thicker hair without surgery" Thcoci says."There's two products we've come across thatdo this." As of this month, he'll stock at-homeregimens of both DS Laboratories and Nioxinshampoos at bis thriving salon's 16 Illinois loca-tions. DS Labs shampoo is designed to restorehair lost within the last ten years, while Nioxinfocuses on thickening existing hair.
Before the shampoos hit the shelves, Thcociput them to the test, using them on both him-self and his staff "We've been testing [DS Labsshampoo] for 60-90 days and we've been get-ting great results," he says. With his methodicevaluations, Tricoci could just as easily berunning a pharmaceutical company. "We're notgoing to jump into this. We're training each andevery one of our staff to do the most profes-sional work," he explains.
In addition to stocking these follicle-savingformulas, Thcoci is out to educate the popula-tion even further on at-home hair care andmakeup, recently launching a new how-tovideo series on his website ThcocLcom. "Thereare no secrets anymore in our industry. We tryto share everything with our guests," he says."That's what made us who we are. We don'thide anything in a brown paper bag." Thatphilosophy, along with his laser-like focus onresults, has helped Tricoci to grow his hairempire from the root up over the last 40 years.

Jonathan Toews ¡s backin the rink and ready to lead
his team to the coveted CupSTORY BY MOLLY EACH
PHOTOS BY MARIA PONCE
At24, Jonathan Toews has
already accomplished mostthings that other athletesonly dream of doing. He wona Stanley Cup with the Chi-
cago Blackhawks and was awarded the ConnSmythe Trophy for playoff MVP. He scoreda gold medal as part of team Canada. He's anall-star and has been captain of the Hawkssince he was 20 years old, making him oneof the youngest captains in NHL history.
But when he walks into the Splash photoshoot after practice, wearing a grey henleyand jeans, he could easily pass as the boynext door. He's quiet, easygoing and modest.Though he's only done a handful of fash-ion photo shoots, he's a natural in front ofthe camera, but it turns out that - just likewhen he's on the ice - Toews has a strategy.
"At the start, you give a few differentsmiles, then a serious badass face," he okes.CAfter that, I'm out of ideas. But it gets me outof my comfort zone and it's a fun thing to do."
Catching Toews off the ice is a challengethis season. Thanks to the NHL lockout -during which owners and the players unionbattled over a new collective bargaining agree-ment - the schedule has been condensed toinclude 48 games in 99 days. But the sped-upschedule seems to suit the Blackhawks. Atpress time, the team was offto the best pointsstart (20-O-3) in NHL history and hadn't lost asingle game in regulation time (though they'velost three in shootouts). Toews credits theteam camaraderie for its dominant record."We went on the road for two weeks to startthe year, so it was a good thing for us," he says."Guys were hanging out, going for dinner anddoing that sort of thing. The more you spendtime together it helps the chemistry, both inthe locker room and on the ice."
During the lockout, though, Toews tooksome time for himself. While teammates suchas Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell playedoverseas, Toews stayed put, taking advantageof the time off by working out and making surehe was fully recovered from last year's headinjury, which sidelined him for the final 22gaines of the season. "I wanted to be in bettershape so when the season did start, I was readyto go," he says. "It was kind of nice to get thatbreak, but once we got to Christmas it waslike, OK, enough is enough, the joke is over.Let's play hockey." But the downtime was alsotough for Toews. "Going through the lockout,you kind of realize what you take for granted,and it's being around the guys and going onthe road," he says. "It's what you've been doingsince you were 5 years old, and that's takenaway from you and you feel pretty empty"
The time away from the rink was a drasticchange for Toews, who has eaten, slept andbreathed hockey for almost his entire life.He grew up in Winnipeg, Canada, one of twoboys in a hockey-obsessed household, dream-ing of playing in the NHL. (His youngerbrother, David, plays in the minor leagues.)"It was hockey all the time," says Toews. "Mydad made a backyard rink when were grow-ing up, and all the money my mom and dadmade they pretty much spent sending us tohockey camps and buying us equipment. Itwas our life." When he was 15, he moved toMinnesota to attend the prestigious Shattuck-St. Mary's boarding school, known for itsexceptional hockey program. After gradua-tion, he attended and played two seasons atthe University of North Dakota before theBlackhawks drafted him at age 19. Since then,it's been a whirlwind of accomplishments: Hewas made team captain a year after joiningthe team, won Olympic gold in 2010, led theBlackhawks to the Stanley Cup shortly afterand was named playoff MVP. So which wasmore of a thrill? "To be playing for TeamCanada at the Olympics, it was a dream come
true," says Toews. "But to win the StanleyCup here in Chicago, with the group we had,that's a bond you have with those guys forthe rest of your life. There's nothing morespecial than that."
Despite his high profile, the guy playfullyknown as "Captain Serious" takes a morelow-key approach to everyday life. Aftergames and on off days, while other athletesfrequent the club scene, Toews prefers to visithis favorite restaurant, a low-profile sushispot in the South Loop, or take in a movie.And he shuns flashy spending when it comesto cars - he just bought a Chevy Volt - andclothes. "I do the whole one-stop shop: Youfmd something you like, buy it and wear thatsame thing for the next five months until youcan't wear it anymore and then it's time to goshopping," he says. In the off-season, he headsback to Canada to visit family and friends,and spends time at his cabin on Lake of theWoods in Ontario.
But when he's on the ice, he's completelyfocused on helping the Blackhawks win."We've been on a roller coaster ride the lasttwo seasons, and I think this year we've foundthat consistency and we've found our depth,"he says. "Every single guy knows their role,and has confidence in themselves, even ifthey're up against the other team's top play-ers. Top to bottom, we all [take responsibilityfor games], so there's not as much on just ahandful of guys. We have a lot of skill sets,and that makes us a really good team."
He's grateful to Chicago fans for sticking bythe team during the lockout and coming backready to cheer - and he's eager to bring theStanley Cup back in their honor. "One of thebiggest surprises has been the support fromthe fans after everything they went throughwith the lockout, and all the crap in the pressabout the arguments," he says. "They've comeback and they're excited about hockey. Theywant a trophy."
TOE:. TALKSChicago fans: 'Chicago sportsfans don't necessarily go forthe superstars; they like thehardworkingtype of guyswho will justgrind it out. 'I

That's thetype of teamwe have. Wehave a lot of
Toews withskill, but wehave guys teammatewho work Manan Hossareally hardand go theextra amount to win. lt reflectsChicago - a city full of great,down-to-earth, humble people."Pregame rituals: "I hate to getinto superstitions because if allof a sudden you don't do some-thing, that's what you're think-ing about. lt takes you mentallyaway from what you're tryingto do on the ice."Burnout: "There are days thatare tough, but our coaches aregood at giving us those daysoff. To not have to go to therink, to relax or hang out withyour friends, t gives you abreak and you come back thenext day fresh and ready towork hard again."
HIs love life: Toews has report-edly been dating lingerie modelLindsey Vecchione for "a hand-ful of months," he says.
On "Slapshot": "lt's the classic[hockey movie]. I could watch itagain and again."

eat away your wint¡n Wicker Park's *
ivision Street Russian and Turldsh Bathshas loomed over Wicker Park since 1906,but if you've never ventured inside, it'sprobably because you weren't sure what
went on - but guessed it had to do with a bunch ofsweaty men sitting around in robes (or less).
You guessed right. But the new owner ofthe bath-house, Alex Loyfinan, has opened the doors of the18,000 square-foot building under a different name,Red Square Cafe Lounge, and is aiming to lure a newgeneration of sauna seekers with a sleek renova-tion, an onsite café and an expanded service menuthat ranges from manicures and facials to waxingfor women and men. "We wanted to modernize ourspa services to put them on par with today's higheststandards, yet still keep the best of the Russian andTurkish traditions intact," says Loyfman.
Here's how a typical visit unfolds: An ID orwallet must be surrendered upon check-in. A 15percent tip is automatically added to spa services,and there's a $30 day fee for access to the facilities.All of this news is delivered in a brusquer tonethan you'd expect at a typical luxury spa and amidmuch bustle around the front desk
But once on the table in one of the seven treat-ment rooms, even the chatter that drifts in fromthe hallway disappears during massages ($65 for60 minutes) so intense that they can reduce their
woesBY AMALI
recipients to tears. Ask for Lana ifyou want theknots literally walked out of your back, or hook anappointment with Neal for pressure so firm you'llbe sore the next day. For the truly adventurous,a Russian platza treatment ($30-$55) is not to bemissed: Inside a super-hot sauna, you'll be smackedinto submission with toxin-releasing oak branchesdipped in skin-softening olive oil.
Give yourself plenty oftime before and afteryour treatments to languish in the various saunas,steam rooms and baths in the locker rooms. (Thewomen's side is smaller and less lavishly outfitted,though there are still plenty ofways to sweat it out).But don't fret over when to sit in the dry sauna, wetsauna, whirlpool or icy plunge pool. 'Any way youchoose to alternate hot and cold, it will work won-ders for your cardiovascular health," Loyfinan claims.
The sweating is best when treated as a social oc-casion, sobring a group of friends. And if you reallywant to go old-world, wrap up the day with a bowlof borscht and a few vodkas in the 3,500 square-footrestaurant and bar, which is designed to evoke a19th-century dining car and serves Russian smallplates, specialty cocktails and beers. Hey, you've gotto hydrate.

new reality show, "Dukes of Meirose"and the duo behind Los Angeles-basedshop Decades, are throwing their annualtrunk show at space5l9. At this year'sevent, they'll display huge selections ofPrada and Chanel (including a brand-new spread of Chanel handbags) as wellas men's items for the very first time- and Garkinos is thrilled. "We cameacross this great $10 million collection,"he says. "It has Gucci and Zegna and fursand everything. I love seeing men wearfur in Chicago."
Garkinos has always had a flair forfashion - and he's never been afraid totake bold leaps with his personal style.After he graduated from the Universityof Michigan, he took a job with Cloroxin San Francisco. "I went to work in

this seersucker suit and yellow tie," helaughs. "They sent me home." As forSilver? "Cameron is a fashion butterfly,"Garkinos explains of his risk-takingpartner, who has been snapped wear-ing a hot pink suit and ascot.
The pair have co-owned Decadesfor 13 years, where they're known fortheir uncanny ability to scout and edita stunning collection of couture cloth-ing and accessories. Until recently, thevintage and consignment arms weretwo distinct stores (Decades and De-cades Two, respectively). "For the first11 years, it was upstairs and downstairs,with two separate entrances," saysGarkinos. But after they moved to thesame floor, "It was like when you havea long-distance relationship and it'sexciting, and then when one person de-cides to move to your coast, you're like,'Oh my god,' " he says. "We literally hada wall come down. It was like, 'Hi, I'mWest Germany, you're East Germany.Nice to meet you. Let's have fun!'"
Now that they're two of LA's mostrevered names in vintage, Garkinos andSilver have parlayed their success intoa reality show, which debuted duringBravo's fashion block March 6. The se-ries follows the duo through 2012's redcarpet season as they travel the worldin search of items for their celebrityclients. "What I love most is that it'sreally funny. It feels like a sitcommore than a reality show," saysGarkinos. "And you'll get tosee amazing, amazing fashion."

Kathy Hart arid Billy BaruthKATERINA BIZIOS
Youmay know her as one half of WTMX-FM's hit morn-

Crystal Lake bowling alley - and while she wasn't thrilled about thescene at first, her attitude changed when she spotted Baruth work-

the two hit it off immediately, they remained just friends for nearly15 years. But in 2010, with previous marriages behind them and fourkids between them, their connection turned romantic, and within twoyears they were engaged. They decided to keep things intimate: Theypacked up and took their kids to Philitsburg, Montana, a town of 800that they'd visited a few months prior. Former governor of MontanaBrian Schweitzer, who'd hosted the couple during their trip, officiatedthe ceremony on Feb. 17 in a log cabin off the lake.
The kids had a role as well: Hart's daughter Annika (II) served asthe "best woman," Baruth's son Ben (13) was the best man, Hart'soldest son Xander (13) walked her down the hallway and her five-year-old son Allen was the ring bearer. "They teased us, because theythought going to Montana to get married was weird, but once theyall got dressed up, they loved it," says Hart. After the ceremony, thegroup headed over to Montana John's Silver Saloon for a reception,where they dined on an Italian-style spread and wound the nightdown. 'As odd and unique as the setting was, it was my true fairytale," says Hart. "Billy and I were always meant to be together."

Sweet on
The Lakeview restaurant adds sweet treatsto its menu of gourmet gluten-free fare
BY JOURDAN FAIRCHILD
Tast year, when Susan McMillanand Amelia Fonti set out to find achef to bring their new gluten-free
Jrestaurant concept to life, they didwhat some people do when they're searchingfor a new sofa: they placed an ad on Craigslist."Then we had a Top Chef-style cook-off, andNoah was the clear winner," McMillan saysofNoah Sandoval, the 31-year-old executivechef of their Lakeview restaurant, Senza. Now,after six months of building a loyal fan base,McMillan and Fonti are opening up their din-ncr-only restaurant for a few morning hours tohawk their artisanal breads and pastries.
They've made their name on Sandoval's in-novative evening fare, but baked goods have al-ways been part of their mission. Originally, theduo imagined a cozy coffee shop where they'dserve up comfort food and their delicious muf-fms and pastries. But meeting Sandoval - aveteran ofTakashi, Green Zebra and Schwa -opened their eyes to the world of gluten-freegastronomy. Noticing a lack of dinner optionsfor gluten-free diners, they decided to tweaktheir plan. "He can cook anything," McMillansays. "So it seemed a shame not to let him usehis strengths."
Sandoval spent weeks developing two dif-ferent menus: a four-course prix fixe ($50) anda nine-course tasting menu ($100), with everyitem incorporating gluten-free flours, saucesand more. "I would put our pasta up againstany other in the cit)ç" Sandoval says, citing thepork belly dish with carrots and maple crèmefraîche as another favorite. As for McMillanand Fonti? They kept on baking, and when re-quests for their bread grew, the duo set up an
Foie gras
Executive chefNoah Sandoval
off-site bakery so they'd have plenty of spaceto roll out their dough. They take orders fromclients like Wishbone Restaurant for batchesofbread, pizza crust and bread crumbs, andnow, each Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m.to noon, patrons can stop by the restaurant tograb coffee with a wheat-free blueberry muffin($1.50) or dark chocolate doughnut ($2.50).
To reflect the restaurant's elegant yetinviting approach to food, the team called onKaren Herold of 555 International, the brainsbehind Girl & the Goat and GT Fish & Oyster,to work her magic. Herold layered strips offrayed fabric to add texture to the walls andincorporated worn wood finishes and a chalk-board menu to create a casual, lived-in look.And with just 42 seats, Senza's atmospherecan't help but feel intimate. "We created thisrestaurant, and now our bakery, for all of thosepeople in the gluten-free community that hadnowhere else to go," McMillan said. Talk abouta home sweet home.

2451 N. Ashland
BY LISA SKOLNIK
Competition
is stiff in the real estate world right now, as buyers - ostensibly tired
begin with. "The number of existing homes for sale in the Chicago area fell more
of rising rents - fueled a 37 percent jump in local home sales in January, accord-ing to listing service Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED). And supply was low to
than 36 percent last year to its lowest point since the height of the market in 2006," saysMRED CEO Russ Bergeron. Many buyers, used to getting their way with sellers these pastfew years, "want it all," says Prudential Rubloff broker Annie Holowatyj (call 773-572-6522). Annie"Everything has to be done and the home has to be pristine." Holowatyj
No wonder her listing at 2451 N. Ashland, an outstanding soup-to-nuts rehab of an 1887A-frame, sold in just one day when it went on the market last month for $700,000. But one thing that hasn'tgotten any easier is the financing process - so the 2,800-square-foot, four-bed, 3.5-bath house just came backon the market for the same price. According to Holowatyj, the builder, Walter Boitchouk of WB Construc-tion, is a 20-year industry veteran with a very specific aesthetic. "He likes things clean-lined, open and airy,and is extremely picky about the details," she says. "He dug out the basement to make sure all three floors had10-foot-high ceilings and insulated it to the hilt for noise control because it's on Ashland." Witness the atten-tion to detail for yourself at the open house March 10 from 1-3 p.m.

'Dancing with the Stars' secrets
Theseason 16 cast
of "Dancing withthe Stars" has been
revealed. and though theshow hasn't even premiered,there's lots of drama unfold-Ing behind the scenes. AndyDick, who last appeared on"Celebrity Rehab," is alreadycausing problems. "He's verydifficult to work with," aninside source says. "He is notcooperating with his dancepartner, and the problemswith him seem to be esca-lating." But the source saysthat he does have danceexperience, which couldgive the troubled star an up-per hand in the competition.The couple at a disadvan-tage is Karina Smirnoffand Jacoby Jones, as theSuper Bowl champion hadto delay practice for severaldays because of knee sur-gery. "They're trying to stayoptimistic and they believethey will be able to catch upwith the others," said anothersource. Victor Ortiz toldthis column he's certain hewill win this fight. "lindsay[Arnold] and I are workingvery hard. I like to see compe-tition, but at this point I can'tsay I have any." The boxerbelieves he'll be ableto use some of themoves he's learnedin the fighting ringon the dance floor."Some footwork willpossibly carry over,"he said. His weak-ness: "I have neverdanced in my life!"

SUBARU XV CROSSTREK
DELIVERS VERSATILITYBY ARV Voss
Motor Matters
Subaru's got a new cross-over utility vehicle for activelifestyle buyers - the2013 XV Crosstrek. It's af-fordable, highly capable, andsized to serve as the idealcar for drivers looking formoderate off-reading.
Starting at $21 995, Subaru'snew XV Crosstrek is offeredin_ two trims: 2.Oi Premiumand the upscale 2.01 Limited.Both models axe powered bySubaru's 2,0-liter, 16-valveinline, flat-opposed (Boxer)four-cylinder engine withDual ACtiVeVaIVe Con1System. The engine cranks out1 48 horsepower, along with145 pound-feet of torque.
Driving force is deliveredto all four wheels throughSubaru's symmetrical all-wheel- drive systems byeither a five-speed manualgearbox with incline startassist or a Lineartronic C'VTautomatic with a driver-selectable six-speed manualshift mode, including steer-ingwh - 1 shift paddles.
The 2013 Subaru XV Cross-trek is attractive and sporty inappearance, displaying a lowshoulder line and blackedoutB"andC"pillars,giv-ing it an almost coupe-likepersona heightened by a low0.35 drag coefficient. Groundclearance is 8.7 inches, andtowing capacity is limited to1 500 pounds.
Perhaps the XV Cmsstrek isnot a vehicle suited for seriousreck-crawling or traversingthe legendary Rubicon Trail,but itli certainly up for fordingsmall streams and tacklingslick-covered roads andmuddy trails with gusto.
While very sporty andfun to handle, the XV Cross-trek also is highly functional.The seats seem a little firmat first, which is soon offsetby the support they provide.Exterior mirrors have beenmoved from the "A" pillar tothe door, improving outwardvisibility, which turns out tobe excellent.
Ride quality is comfort-able and compliant, evenover rough terrain, and the
ing CharaCteriZÇS
serve up an athletic andsporty feel with good steer-ing response and vehicle sta-bility. And of course Subaru'ssymmetrical all-wheel-drivesystem performs flawlesslyon both slippery wet- andrough-dry surfaces.
The 2.0-liter engine is nor-mally aspirated and does nothave direct injection, whichSubaru believes is an unnec-essary expense, but it deliv-ers an energetic accelerationresponse nonetheless, alongwith fine fuel economy at25 miles per gallon city and33 mpg highway.
Versatility is key with the60-/40-split rear seat backsthat fold flat for a level loadsurface. The Crosstrek hasplentiful storage nooks andthe roof rail system comeswith a 150-poundload limit.

History
Built-ins
are not a new concept. Theearliest examples of wall benches,settles, and aumbries (small cup-
boards in churches) date back to theMiddle Ages. Originally built as archi-tectural features, built-ins have evolvedover the years into stand-alone pieces offurniture.
With input from some of the top localinterior designers, North Shore Buildershas developed home plans that boastsensational built-ins, finishes and details;epitomizing the style and craftsmanshipone would expect for a new home on theNorth Shore.
North Shore Builders has made itsname synonymous with creating histori-cally inspired homes boasting custombuilt-ins and features, which work to

Building confidence55+ housing market on a positive course
The right mi Perhaps Phillippe Builders has the right idea. Its award-winning Gates of St. John community in Valparaiso,
lcd., recently won top builder honors. A land plan that calls for vast open spaces and a vanety of homes, froni first-family
homes, luxunous move-up designs, custom masterpieces and the convenience of maintenance-free living in townhomes
and single-family ranch cottage homes. That means a home for everyone, including those in the 55+ market. A number of
other builders are pursuing similar strategies throughout the region. I SUPPliED PHOTO
Builder confidence inthe 55+ housing market forsingle-family homes showedcontinued impmvement inthe fourth quarter of 2012compared to the same perioda year ago, according to theNational Association of HomeBuilders' (NAl) latest 55+Housing Market Index (HMI)released recently. The indexincreased 10 points to a levelof 28, the fifth consecutivequarter of year over yearimprovements.
"We continue to seeincreased optimism frombuilders and developers inthe 55+ housing segment,"said Bob Karen, chairman ofNAHB's 50+ Housing Counciland managing member ofthe Symphony DevelopmentGroup. Those customers whohad been on the sidelineswaiting for more stabilityin their local markets arestarting to make their movetoward either purchasing ahome or renting an apartmentthat is designed to more spe-cifically suit their lifestyle."
There are separate 55+HMIs for two segments of the55+ housing market: single-f aniily homes and multifamily
condominiums. Each 55+ HMImeasures builder sentimentbased on a survey that asksif cunent sales, prospectivebuyer traffic and antici-pated six-month sales forthat market are good, fair orpoor (high, average or low fortraffic).
"Like the overall housingmarket, the 55+ segment ofthe market is undergoing aslow but steady recovery,"said NAHB Chief Economist
David Crowe. 'That said,there are serious obstaclesto a continued and strongerrecovery. While problemswith tight credit conditionsfor buyers and obtainingaccurate appraisals are stilllingering, new problems likespot shortages and risingcosts for labor, materialsand lots are beginning toemerge."

DECISIONSColleges respond to challenge of choosing a major
BY JEAN GUARINO
For Sun-Times Media
Today the spiraling cost of tuition and the specter of yearsof indebtedness from college loans are strong incentives forstudents to complete an undergraduate degree in four years.
But what if they are undecided about their future careerand find themselves at a crossroad when it comes to declar-ing a major? A detour down the wrong path can be costly inboth time and money. That's why colleges and universities aregoing the extra mile to connect students with a major attunedto aptitudes and interests and that will lead to a satisfying andin-demand career.
"We've found, and research on the national level agrees,that a third of incoming freshman are undecided on a career.And, after that first year another third who thought they knewwhat they wanted to major in had changed their minds,' saidChuck Beutel, vice president of admissions and enrollmentservices at the University of St. Francis in Jouet.
And we tell them that's perfectly okay," he added. "Nowthey're free to explore other options that will help them makea more informed decision."
USF wastes no time exposing students to a wide range ofservices that are designed to help them make the right choice.During their first semester, freshman attend a Career Explora-tion Day at which faculty from ali departments and alumni inrelated careers offer a realistic view of the challenges, train-ing and job prospects for careers in each discipline.
During the formative first year, USF also encourages fresh-men to participate in an externship" in which they shadowsomeone working in their field of interest for a day. Thisexternship offers just a brief sampling of the work involved ina particular career while an internship occurs in the junior orsenior year and is a more concentrated learning experiencein the student's major field," said Beute!.
For example, a student who has shown an interest in radia-tion therapy can spend a day shadowing a professional in ahospital and, at the end of the day, have a better idea if thiscareer is - or isn't - right for him.
'DePaul offers more than 100 different
academic options, a wide range of
choices that can be overwhelming to
an undecided student.'DEPAUL'S LISA DAVIDSON
Homegrown: Kendall College students harvest vegetables in the campus
garden, where produce for the schools'fine dining establishment, The DiningRoom, is grown.
In addition, USF's Career Development Office uses a varietyof Interest and Personality Assessment Indexes to match astudent to a meaningful career. Answering these seeminglyunrelated questions candidly provides a great deal of self-knowledge such as whether the individual enjoys workingwith other people or he is more comfortable working alone,"said Beute!. "And this information, in turn, will either confirmthat he's on the right track or point to another career that maybe better suited to his personality."
DePaul University offers similar discernment servicesfor undeclared students at both its Loop and Lincoln Parkcampuses through the school's Offices for Academic AdvisingSupport, which were formed in 2007.
"Prior to that there was no one central location where studentscould go for academic advice," said Lisa Davidson, director of theOAAS. 'Now ail they need is at one location on each campus,"said Davidson. DePaUI offers more than 100 different academicoptions, a wide range of choices that can be overwhelming to anundecided student. Our job is to help him understand himself, todiscern his skifls, values and goals, before he is able to choose acareer that is compatible with these qualities."
The OAAS accomplishes this by talking early and often tofreshman in their residence halls, in the classroom as part ofthe Chicago Quarter, which is a mandatory class for fresh-men, at their annual Major-Minor Fair and by partnering withalumni who act as mentors.
Kendall College, founded in 1934, now offers undergradu-

ate degrees in business, culinary arts, early childhood educa-tion and hospitality management.
"In their first conversations with prospeclive students ouradmissions counselors try to
get a feel for the things that motivate the student - his hob-bies, extracurricular activities, long terms goals and what heis really passionate about. Then when the student enrolls, heis assigned an academic adviser who offers guidance all fouryears," said Emily Williams Knight, president of Kendall Col-lege in Chicago.
The college requires students to complete at least twointernships prior to graduating in any program. The firstinternship occurs during a student's sophomore year whenschedules are still flexible and courses required for a majoraren't locked in yet.
"These internships offer real day-to-day work experi-ence that either reaffirms for the student that he is on theright career path or, even more importantly, shows him thatthis specialty may not be the best fit after all," said Knight.Although a student may be in the right major, Kendall's variedconcentrations within the school's Hospitality ManagementProgram may require student to fine-tune their focus withoutneeding to start over.
"A student who was enthusiastic about specializing inMeeting and Event Planning may decide that Global Tourism,Destination Management or even our new Beverage Specialtyis more attuned to his interests,"Wiiliams Knight said. And,more choices are always in the pipeline. Based on market dataand input from industry leaders, Kendall has recently addeda new concentration in this field, Sustainable Management inHospitality and Tourism.
The president added that the academic advising andinternship route is working. In 201 1 , Kendall was ranked firstin Chicago for preparing students for careers in hospitalitymanagement and culinary arts in a survey of Michelin Guiderestaurants and management at the city's leading hotels.
Equally impressive is that Kendall reported that 9 1 percentof its June 20 1 2 graduates found employment in their field ofstudy within six months of graduation.

THURSDAY. MARCH 14. 2013 I S
As overseas production operationsreturn to the United States, enrollmentin trade schools continues to rise.Despite high levels of unemployment,domestic manufacturing companiesare finding it difficult to fill positions,thanks in part to an attitudinal shiftover the years wherein young peopledid not consider manufacturing arespectable or attractive trade.
Such attitudes are starting tochange, as indicated by the sarg-ing enrollment at trade schools. TheDunwoody College of Technology inMinneapolis, for example, is experi-encing its highest enrollment in years,with students young and old lookingto take advantage of the growingnumber of available manufacturingpositions. Thanks to high demand,the school has even introduced a six-month certificate program for the firsttime in its history.
Many manufacturers have be-moaned the lack of qualified ma-chinists to fill positions, and thosemanufacturers are emphasizing thattoday's machinists must be computerliterate and be skilled in computer-
aided design and engineering.That increased demand for skilledworkers has driven up their wages. Infact, a 2012 study from GeorgetownUniversity's Center for Education andthe Workforce noted that 63 percentofworkers with associate's degreesin the fields of science, technology,engineering or manufacturing earnedmore money than the average personwith a bachelor's degree in the Mi-manities or social sciences.
As trade schools continue to benefitfrom the return of manufacturing jobs,recent college graduates continue tofind a job market that is less than wel-coming. Analysis of government datafor the Associated Press found thatinearly20l2 half of recent collegegraduates were either unemployed orunderemployed (working in positionsunrelated to their degree).
Such a reality has been advanta-geous to trade schools, which havebecome an increasingly attractiveoption for the masses of unemployedmen and women.

Where will the money come from?
Determining the cost of graduateschool is not easy, as tuition variesgreatly depending on a student's course
of study. Public graduate schools aretypically more affordable than privateschools, but tuition will be expensiveregardless of the university. Even adults

who don't want to pursue a graduatedegree but a new field of study entirelyshould expect tuition to be substantiallyhigher than it was when they were stu-dents years ago.
That said, adults must decide fromwhere the money for their continuededucation is going to come. Paying out ofyour own pocket will require some sacri-fices in other areas of your life and couldalso deplete your personal savings. Fi-nancial aid, grants and private loans areother options, and each of these shouldbe thoroughly explored before making afinal decision.
Will your employer help pay?For those men and women who are
still employed and want to continue theircareers, it's quite possible your employerwill help pay your tuition. Employer-funded tuition programs might earn youremployer a tax deduction, so don't justassume your employer won't help coversome of the bill for your education.

Science minds: Women are working to promote math and engineering programs for high school girls.
Women in science seek
to bridge gender gapWhen the high school class of 2014 gradu-
ates from college in five years, more than 8million jobs will be available in the fields ofscience, technology, engineering and math(STEM). For students today, STEM is their future.
Innovations driven by STEM are shapingtodays economy. Though STEM accountsfor a majority ofjob growth in the U.S., thenumber of students enrolling in relevantdegree programs in college to fill these posi-tions continues to decline, leaving a gap ofskilled professionals. Women, in particular,are underrepresented in STEM. While womenaccount for nearly half of all filled jobsnationwide, only a quarter of STEM-relatedpositions are held by women.
Given the known gap, many women industrypioneers are showing young girls they too canbe successful in STEM. They are leading thecharge in bettering the world by developinginnovations and technologies such as global,online crowd-sourcing platforms that allowsupporters to give funds from mobile devices.Others are advancing alternative energy prod-ucts that deliver electricity, water and otherbasic resources in developing countries.
To help bridge the gap and ready thenext generation of women innovators, manyorganizations support initiatives to introducestudents, specifically young girls, to theimportance of STEM. DeVry University, forinstance, has its annual HerWorld program.
"HerWorld was created 16 years ago toeducate high school girls about STEM and ca-
reers in STEM," says Donna lioraine, provost!vice president of Academic Affairs at DeVryUniversity. 'Our goal is to show girls how theycan make a difference in the world throughthese fields."
A recent study by the Girl Scout ResearchInstitute found that more than 80 percent ofhigh school girls surveyed expressed interestin considering a career in a STEM field, in-cluding engineering, information technologyand software development. This is a positiveoutlook, as positions in STEM are becomingavailable more rapidly than opportunities inany other field.
HerWorld empowers young women to suc-ceed alongside their male counterparts byparticipating in confidence-building activitiesand hands-on workshops. They also hearinspirational stories from real, female rolemodels working in STEM fields.
This year, nearly 7,000 girls from highschools across the countrywill attend localevents during National Her World Monthin March. Emmy-Award nominated actressMayim Bialik, renowned for her roles ontelevision series Blossom and The Big BangTheory, is partnering with DeVry Universityto further the mission of HerWorld and inspirethese girls by sharing her personal STEMjourney - balancing her acting career whileearning her Doctorate of Philosophy degreein neuroscience from UCLA.

Rosalind FranklinUniversity: Assistantprofessor Beth Stutzmann,Ph.D., has spent the last 10years investigating neuro-nal signaling in aging andAlzheimer's disease. At theroot of her research is thedesire to understand theearly disease processes thatcause brain cells to malfunc-tion in A]zheimer's. In otherwords, she is looking at whatpathological events areoccurring before the tragicphysical and behavioralchanges develop. Uncover-ing these events may offermore effective strategies toprevent disease progres-sion. Stutzmann's researchsuggests that alterations incritical neuronal signalingfactors, such as calcium, arean early component in thedisease cycle that contrib-utes to the memory loss inAlzheimer's disease.
Stutzmann came toRosalind Franklin Universityof Medicine and Science(RFUMS) from the Univer-sity of California, Irvine, in2005 to explore this areaof interest, intentionallyseeking RFUMS for its corn-mitment to research pairedwith its strong basic scienceprogram, an environmentwhere she knew her re-search would thrive.
"I love the process of in-vestigation. There are thingsthat, as researchers, webelieve are important and weget to explore them. Not onlyis this satisfying on a per-sonal level, you feel you'recontributing to a greatergood. It's enormously satisfy-ing when you add even alittle piece to the puzzle,"Stutzmann said. Her desireto help students is clear. Shespeaks passionately aboutteaching and mentoring, say-
ing her own mentors had thebiggest impact on her career."I really believe in paying itforward and encouraging allyoung scientists," she said.RF!J is at 3333 Green BayRoad, North Chicago; call(84 7) 578-3000 or visit www.rosalindfranldin.edu.

The trade-off for thenon-professional volunteer

Old-fashioned baking,wholesome foods atSweet Dreams[BY LEE A. LITAS I Dining Columnist
For anyone who thinks organicmeans nothing but sunflower seeds,tofu or teeth-shattering granola, Mar-tha Sutton has good news.
She's executive pastry chef at SweetDreams Organic Bakery & Café in
-Glenview, and when she says organic,she means ripe fruit, genuine cream,raw sugar, fair trade chocolate andrich cocoa from Ecuador. "There isjust no compromise in ingredients. Asa chef these are without a doubt thebest ingredients I have ever workedwith."
As former executive chef to a num-ber of white tablecloth North Shoreestablishments, Sutton was lookingto sink her teeth into something shereally believed in and was struck bySweet Dreams' insistence on being a
cone hundred percent organic scratchbakery. "There are just so few of thoseleft," she said.
Family-owned and operated since2005, Sweet Dreams follows the phi-losophy of owner Mary Sopcic whogrew up eating this way in her native
Croatia. When Sopcic decided toshare her organic lifestyle with theworld, she found that, "amazingly,eight years ago, that was cuttingedge," said Sutton.
So what is organic, really? "Organicmeans free of any hormones, pesti-cides, additives or artificial flavors,"explains Sutton. If it's not certifiedorganic by the FDA, it does not gointo any product at Sweet Dreams.That means all Sweet Dreams regular,gluten-free, vegan and gluten-freevegan options are organic. "We try tomake everything delicious regardlessof what it does or does not have in it,"

Assortment of minis includes a gluten-free peanut butter cup sweetened with agave($2), traditional éclair filled with pastry cream ($2.25), almond shortbread cookie withapricot jam ($1.50) and a gluten-free almond sandwich with raspberry jam ($2), and ablueberry kolacky with cream cheese dough ($1.50). I LEE A. LITAS-forSuri-Times Media
said Sutton.Case in point: SD's densely-choco-
late and ultra rich gluten-free peanutbutter cups sweetened with agavenectar ($2). They're not good becausethey are gluten-free; they're just good.
While desserts take center stage,savory dishes and even spirits abound.Sweet Dreams makes delicate crepesfilled with a spicy creamed chickengoulash, served with a side salad andtangy vinaigrette. Or sample the pop-ular grilled chicken ciabatta sandwichwith avocado and greens, offered witha cup of thick, homemade navy bean
soup ($14.50 each). Pair the mealswith any of SD's organic wines or beer($7-$8 glass/$20-$24 bottle).
Sutton and Sopcic take turns atbaking. Sopcic makes her family'sfamous strudel by rolling out a home-made phyllo-type dough on a specialtable she designated just for this. Thedelicate pastry is layered with organicapples in the fall; and plums, ripeblueberries and sweet cherries andcheese throughout the rest of the year($3.50/slice).
"lt's how baking used to be," saidSutton. fl

Bioluminescence means livingthings that create their own light.Think fireflies, foxfire mushrooms andthousands of deep sea fish, many mi-croscopic, that live so far below thewater's surface that they exist in aworld of total darkness.
The exhibit began as a collaborationthree years ago between Leo Smith,Field Museum assistant curator offishes, and a colleague at New York'sAmerican Museum of Natural History.Smith was studying the ponyfish, "anunassuming fish with a bioluminescent
In "Creatures of Light: Nature'sBioluminescence" at the Field Museum,visitors are introduced to the worldof biofluorescence - animals andorganisms that react basically to blacklight. For example, in the desert at night,you can pull out a black light, turn it onand suddenly all the scorpions scatterand you see their little blue bodies.

From those discussions came theexhibit, looking at this unique, peculiarphenomenon found in an assortmentof critters from glowworms in NewZealand caves to backyard fireflies inChicago. Much of the exhibit focuseson the life aquatic because that iswhere most bioluminescence hap-pens. lt's not common on land - lessthan 20 percent of bioluminescentcreatures live outside of the ocean.
The exhibit is model based, so in-sects and fish are blown up tens tothousands of times their normal sizefor a close look at their lighting mech-anisms. "Because of the giant modelswe can focus on the diversity of theanimals," Smith said.
lt's an exhibit filled with buttons topress and computer screens to playwith, geared for children. "When youfirst walk in it unfolds in an atmo-sphere of mystery," said Janet Hong,project manager for exhibitions. "ltreally brings you back to childhood,the feeling of holding a firefly in yourhands. lt's dark in here and verybeautiful."

Pinochet's left-wing opponents.
tRatedPG for sequences of action and scaryimages and brief mild languageStarsJames Franco, Michelle Williams, Ra-chel Weisz, Mila KunisCredit director Sam Raimi for 'danoive," as the Cowardly Lion mightput it, to skip down the same YellowBrick Road as one of the most belovedand conic of all Hollywood movies.His heart is in the right place, in thisconsistently entertaining and visuallyeye-popping prequel, despite a bittoo much hipster attitude from thestar and an over-emphasis on wise-cracking dialogue. Franco is fine asthe selfish, obnoxious Professor Dz,transported from his cheesy carnival-magician gig in Kansas to the Land ofDz. He becomes involved in a powerstruggle between three witch-sisters,who believe he is the fulfillment of aprophecy. There are dramatic lags,here and there, but one thing neverflags: the visual dazzle Raimi has al-ways been famous for.
**RatedR for crude and sexual content, per-vasive language, some graphic nudity,drugs and drinkingStarsMiles Teller, Justin Chon, Skylar Astin,Sarah WrightA couple of old high-school buddiesdecide to celebrate the 21st birthdayof best-bud No. 3 by getting him blinddrunk as a "sacred rite of passage."Never mind he has a crucial med-school interview in the morning anda domineering dad who will kill him ifhe screws up. There's a lot of pseudo-dramatic stuff about friendship andlooming adulthood. Mostly, though, ittries very hard to generate laughs withover-the-top slapstick. $

BY BRUCE INGRAM I Film Critic
Love defies doublegravity in 'Upside Down'
"Upside Down"
Romeo and Juliet? They had it easy.At least when they stood up theirheads pointed in the same direction.
That's not so for the star-crossed,gravitationally-challenged younglovers in the sci-fi romance "UpsideDown," who not only live in separateworlds but also have entirely differentideas about which way is up.
You get a pretty good idea of whatto expect from "Upside Down" in theopening moments, which combinecosmic visuals with what may bethe longest, most confusing, scene-setting voiceover monologue everfilmed. lt goes all the way back to thecreation of the universe to explain theexistence of a solar system containingtwinned planets, each with its ownopposing gravitational fields. Then itexplains, after a dazzling split-screenview of the situation, that these twoworlds coexist face-to-face, with theUp Top planet thriving by exploitingthe world Down Below. Which has ledto a state of interplanetary tensionresulting in a strict rule forbidding thepeople of Down Below from ever en-tering Up Top. Though that probablywouldn't happen too often anyway,because matter from one world isantimatter in the other - and the twocan't come into contact for more thanan hour without bursting into flame.
Now, we all know that good sciencefiction tries to be as plausible as pos-sible. Unfortunately, this film isn't, noteven for a moment. So let's think ofit as semi-magical romantic fantasyinstead and give Argentine writer/director Juan Solanas ("Northeast") afree pass on that score.
Into the film's topsy-turvy settingstray young Adam and Eden, whomeet one day when the boy is outharvesting the Secret Pollen of the
Head over heels: Jim Sturgess andKirsten Dunst in "Upside Down.'
Pink Bees, which his aunt uses tomake floating pancakes (just go withit). Child Adam climbs the highest treeon the highest peak Down Below andspots child Eden doing much the sameacross from him, Up Top. From there,they grow into teens (and becomeJim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst), fall inlove, steal some smooches when Adamdrags Eden Down Below on a rope,and are tragically separated when a hitsquad tries to kill them. Adam is shot,Eden is injured and years pass. ThenAdam spots Eden on TV Up Top anddecides to risk everything to see heragain, concocting a Pink Bee wrinklecream to get himself a job at the evilcorporation where she works. At whichpoint many more complications kickin, including the previously men-tioned bursting-into-flame issue.
The thing is, there are two ways tolook at "Upside Down." Watch it withyour head and you're likely to spendmost of the time in frustration. Watchit with your heart, and you just mightfind that its ardent mood and roman-tic imagery makes sense in a way thatworks just fine without logic.

Talent Management th ¡äps the Se antìc CloudBy: John Rossneim, Monster Senior CoritiDuting Witer
Large employers with complex and rapidly evoMng labor needs require an integrated talent managementsystem that will support long-term success.
Unfortunately, such a solution has been easy to imagine but nearly impossible to realize.
Knowing that recruiters can miss opportunities to fill openings internally, HR leaders also covet semanticsearch to identify talent - n whatever terms it is described and wherever in the enterprise it resides - fromemployee resumes to job descriptions or profiles on SharePoint sites.
"Organizations are used to looking at their own workforce data and at external data," says MollieLombardi, research director of Aberdeen Group's human capital management practice in Boston.
Now they want to look at internal and external at the same time, and it's a big challenge, because there'sJ9 of data in different formats. lt gets complicated.
This complex convergence of data is a challenge for older database searches, which categorize people intopredetermined occupations and classifications. In contrast,semantic search evaluates the multifacetedskills and experiences within a resume and provides instant candidate matching and analysis against thejob's requirements.
Until recently, incorporating semantic search into a talent management system has been prohibitivelyexpense, given the massive computational resources it requires. Enter talent management - based onsemantic cloud computing.
An Integrated View of the Worktorce and Labor PoolSemantic cloud talent management is beginning to fulfill the promise of integrated workforce planning bycombining rich workforce data from multiple internal and external sources, while linking with AIS systemsand APIs for third-party applications.
The world doesn't need yet another talent-management system," says Javid Muhammedali, senior productdirector for Monster's SeeMoreTM, Monster's July 2011 entry in the nascent cloud-talent managementspace. What the world needs is a cloud-based platform to take employers' existing systems, integratethem and make them semantic-aware."

SeeMore helps identify talent gaps and oversupplies," says Muhammedali, enabling employers to slice acomprehensive database of their internal workforce, with available workers n the relevant geographic area.
Talent management that taps the cloud may be able to boost retention of key employees, and even tellyou which categories of employees and which specific employees are flight risks," according to a DeloitteConsulting report on HR in the Cloud.
The State of Ohio Adopts Semantic Talent ManagementMultinational companies are not alone in seeking to attract and retain top talent. The State of Ohio haspartnered with Monster's SeeMorelM to improve employers' visibility into the workforce.
Ohio's workforce data-mining and job-search system brings together jobs posted directly to Ohio MeansJobs; it also pools resumes targeted at individuals who live or want to work in Ohio. Employers can thenquery the state's workforce database in detail; job seekers can see where their skills are needed.
We receive and fulfill requests from economic development people with needs from employers," saysBirnbrich. i had a request from a city that wanted to know how many fork-lift operators Ohio has. Isearched our database of 2.1 million resumes and within 5 minutes I sent them an email saying thatthere are 2,700 people with 'fork-lift operator' as theirjob title, and that 270 have Microsoft Excelexperience and 420 have done inventory management."
Fast, Cost-Effective ImplementationsEnabled by nimble programming techniques, cloud-based talent management also has the ability to tieinto more cumbersome legacy systems to make them semantic-aware. The result promises a rapid returnon investment that organizations, both public and private, now typically require.
In uncertain times, this new talent-management paradigm offers valuable workforce intelligence to pointthe way forward.
Cloud talent management lets you answer the question, 'Where is the talent for where my business isgoing,' taking into account skills, competencies, geographies, and so on," says Lombardi. You can thinkabout how to get your worktorce ready for what's coming in 6 to 12 months. Sometimes you can't findpeople fast enough, so you have to grow them internally."

The Niles North boys basketball teamwon three games the season beforeMalachi Nix came to high school.
"I have a belief
the way the gameshould be played,
and that's giv-
Ing freedom toplayers and al-
low them to makeplays. He was
a perfect fit forthat, and it was
something really
cool to see."Glenn OlsonNues North coach
Prior to Nix's arrival, the program's last winningseason came during the 1999-2000 campaign. The Vi-
kings also captured a regionalchampionship that season.It was the program's first re-gional title and its only onepre-Nix.
In his four seasons as astarting guard, the 5-foot-8Nix transformed the Vikingsinto an area powerhouse.With Nix on the court, NilesNorth won 84 games, threeregional titles, two CSL Northchampionships and one sec-tional title.
As a senior, Nix, who re-mains undecided on a col-lege, helped the Vikings seta single-season record forvictories with 27 and got theteam to a third consecutivesectional final. Nues North lost65-42 to New Trier on Friday.
"I don't think people under-stand how hard of a processthis has been for us, howhard the players worked, howmuch they invested," NuesNorth coach Glenn Olson said
"lt doesn't make sense how successful we were, and alot of it was because of Malachi. He elevated the playof everybody. He made the other guys believe." INiles

"He always brought so muchenergy ¡nto the gym. He alwayswas ready to play. One thingthat was so special about him,even though he's small, is he hasso much bounce to him. He cancome down the court and pullup and hit a 3-pointer, and it's sohard to stop because he gets upso high and fast."Andrew McAuliffeGlenbrook North senior forward
BY THE NUMBERSNix finished with a program-record
1,532 career points. He scored 549 as asenior, averaging 17.1 per game. He alsoeaves the Vikings first in career stealswith 215.
Nix scored a career-high 44 points,including 18 in the fourth quarter, in an84-80 win over Morton at Gordon Techon Feb. 17. More importantly, the win- the team's 24th - tied the programrecord for wins in a single season. His 20free throws also were a team record for asingle game.
In four seasons, Nix helped the Vi-kings go 84-36, the best four-year stretchin school history. The Vikings won theirsecond conference championship in threeseasons ¡n 2013 by going 10-0 in leagueplay. He even blocked a potential game-tying shot in the final minute of a 56-55win over Deerfield.
Nix saved his best games for the onesthat mattered most. In the team's 68-57win over Loyola on March 1 in the regionalfinal, Nix scored 30 of his 39 points in thefinal two quarters.

Trevians trying to rebound in 2013BY ERIC VAN DRIL I Contributor I @EricVanDril
WINNETKA
New Trier's ulti-mate goal has beenthe same for nineseasons.
While winning a state title-- _is rarely discussed during
preseason boys lacrosse prac-tices, seniors Tyler Schmarakand Rory McGinnis both agreethat the Trevians are eager totry to wash away the disap-pointment experienced lastseason when their streakof seven consecutive statechampionships ended.
"I think the biggest thingthat's different is last year,there was kind of a sense of,'All right, we're New Trier, wecan win state,' " said Schma-rak, a midfielder. "But afterlosing last year, we realizedwe're mortal. We have to earnevery win we get. We're notjust going to win, like coach(Tom Herrala) has been say-ing, because we've got NewTrier written on our jerseys.There's an extra sense ofdrive. We really need to goout there every game and
< play our best."Schmarak added: "We have
to go out there and provewe're the best team in Illinois."
The Trevians' goal has re-mained the same after lastyear's squad - a team which
finished 12-12 - was eliminat-ed in the state quarterfinals byWheaton Warrenville South.Herrala said New Trier returns
-its entire attack unit, four ofits six midfielders and almostall of its defenders

Getting into the weightroom and becoming a stron-ger, more physical team wasa particularly large point ofemphasis for Herrala. Not onlydoes adding strength figure tohelp as the team tries to over-take Loyola, the defendingstate champions, but it alsowill likely be of benefit againstthe seven out-of-state oppo-nents on New Trier's schedule.
New Trier's seniors "havemade the effort to make surethey're holding kids account-able for being in the weightroom," Herrala said. "That as-pect of it has changed. We'vebeen ramping it up over theyears. We're playing some ofthese out-of-state teams andthey're just always bigger andstronger.

Girls lacrosse hasundergone a trans-formation in Illinoissince John Dwyerbecame Loyola'scoach in 2001.
At that point, Dwyer esti-mates that about 90 percentof the girls who entered theLoyola program - one of thestate's best, and the winnersof the last four state cham-pionships - hadn't playedlacrosse before high school.
Now, Dwyer says thatnumber has shrunk to about5 percent.
"We're getting kids nowthat have played since thirdor fourth grade, on a verycompetitive basis," Dwyersaid.
But that trend extends wellbeyond Wilmette. Dwyerhas noticed that as the sporthas become more popular- more schools have teamsnow than ever - girls la-crosse players have startedplaying earlier and earlier.
In fact, the Ramblershave tried to help boostthe sport's popularity andincrease the competitionby traveling to schools likeMother McAu ley.
"On the girls side, ourcoach's organization is verysupportive of new programsand emerging programs andgrowing programs," Dwyersaid. "Just for example, wewent down a couple yearsago in January and did aclinic for Mother McAuley
when they were just start-ing the sport. We've helpeda number of schools kind ofget off the ground and gettheir program going andstuff like that. If one of thoseteams comes along andbeats us one day, ultimatelyit's really good for the pro-gram and it's good for thesport, nationally and for thestate."
Mother McAuley finished12-5 last year and was rankedNo. 12 in Illinois by LaxPower.corn.
When Sarah McKennabecame the girls lacrossecoach at Evanston in 2008,the first thing she did wasstart a feeder program to tryto close a widening gap be-tween the Wildkits and statepowers Loyola and NewTrier. That feeder program,which McKenna says hasbeen run by the Illinois GirlsLacrosse Association outof Evanston for the last fiveyears, has helped increasethe skill level and lacrosse IOof her team.
It's also helped the Wild-kits stay more competitivewith programs like HighlandPark, Deerfield, Maine Southand Glenbrook North in theCSL.
"They know where they'resupposed to be, they knowwhy they need to do things,"McKenna said. "They're verysmart. I think that's definitelyhelped, and it's through-out the state. lt's not just atEvanston. They're getting alot more coaching and theyunderstand the game of la-crosse a lot better." U

BADMINTON SEASON PREVIEW
1 New Trier's Mang prepared to leadBY RYAN HILL I Contributor I @Pioneer_Press
New Trier badmin-ton player AudreyMang is finallyready to step intoa full-fledged lead-ership role for hersenior season.
After playing behind team-mate Mari Georgiadis, whowent undefeated and won astate championship two yearsago, and having a full seasonof playing No. i singles underher belt, Mang wants to takeresponsibility of a young NewTrier team that fields just fourseniors.
"(Mang) was in the No. 1singles spot last year, whichis a hard place to be at NewTrier," coach Deborah Of-cky said. "Being No. 1, youalways have a bull's eye onyou. But she's a leader in theprogram."
Despite being the team'stop singles player last season,Mang wouldn't say she wasits clear-cut leader.
" lt was intimidating tryingto step up rito that role at
4 No. 1 singles when (Georgia-dis) left," Mang said. "But Idefinitely didn't feel unneces-sary pressure from my coach-r or anything, And I thinkthat all the leadership fromthe people older than me cul-
- minates into how I think I'll beas a leader this season."
Mang won a match in thechampionship bracket atstate last year and reachedthe fourth round of the con-solation bracket. Two years

"When she says something,everybody stops," Ofckysaid. "When she talks, peoplelisten because she's usuallythought it through and it'sthe right thing to say. I'm veryfortunate to have her on myteam and to be her coach."

BASEBALL SEASON PREVIEW
New bats împrovèd player safetyBY ERIC VAN DRIL I Contributor I
It's been a littlemore than 14months since theIHSA made the useof BBCOR batsmandatory.
The BBCOR bats, as teamsacross the state quickly learnedlast season, have a smallersweet spot than compositebats and decrease the velocityofthe ball leaving the bat. Therisk of playing baseball still re-mains, but the coaches of fourof the CSL's top programs -Glenbrook North's Dom Savino,New Trier's Mike Napoleon,Maine South's Bill Milano andNiles West's Garry Gustafson -all agree the change has madebaseball safer.
All four also agree that usingBBCOR bats has altered howthe game is played.
"The game was definitelydramatically changed," Gus-tafson said. "I feel, in someway or another, it's changedeveryone's outlook on howyou're going to attack peopleoffensively."
Among the CSL's top teamsin 2012, Gustafson's squad wasarguably the most impactedby the switch to BBCOR bats.The Wolves' lineup featureda slew of power hitters, andwas headlined by Kevin Ross.Ross, an eighth-round selectionby the Pittsburgh Pirates lastyear, hit just two or three homeruns last season, according toGustafson.
In Gustafson's opinion, Rosswould have reached double

digits before the BBCOR rulewas implemented because hewas "as strong and had as fasta bat speed as anyone who'sever come through here," hesaid.
But, as Milano noted, whatwould have been a home runtwo years ago with the morepotent bats often turned intoa double or a triple with a BB-COR bat.
Glenbrook North and MaineSouth - last year's CSL Northand CSL South champions, re-spectively - have both madeteaching pitchers to effectivelyuse off-speed pitches a pointof emphasis in recent years.

The ability to mix a fastballwith an accurate off-speedpitch is something which hastypically equated to successon the high school level, re-gardless of what bat is beingused.
But it appears to be evenmore crucial now, espe-cially for pitchers who aren'toverpowering.
The changeup "is even moreimportant now because whenyou get somebody on theirfront foot, there's nothingbehind the new bats," MaineSòuth pitching coach JasonMarsicano said. "That ball's go-ing nowhere."
All four coaches agreedthat offensive and defensivefundamentals remain vital.They also agreed that theirteam's personnel - not thebats - will largely dictatetheir style of play.
Although Niles West wasaffected by the rule last year,Gustafson has been happywith the change.
"The kids were using big-barrel bats that were full oflife ,.. and they could whipthose big barrels around. ltwas like having a missile hitback at you," Gustafson said."I think it's definitely a safergame." I

Multiple starting nines lack experienceLATE HEDLIN I Contributor I @SportsLoisLane
The unpredictableIllinois weatherisn't the onlyconcern of areasoftball coaches,nany of whom are
also dealing withan influx of youngand inexperiencedtalent.
Last week's snow and rainhas kept the players indoorslonger than many coacheshoped. While the majorityspoke highly of how well thegirls have adjusted, manyadmitted to being particu-larly anxious to see how their
-young squads fare on the field.Niles North is one of those
teams that has had to makesome changes, which couldmake it difficult for the Vi-kings to bounce back after adisappointing season in 2012.
The Vikings, who went 14-18 overall and finished thirdin the CSL North, bring backseveral solid hitters to forma formidable lineup, but anyimprovement this season mayhinge on two of their youngpitchers - freshmen JulianaLivieri and Carolyn Dwyer.

"We have some goodyoung pitching ... and ¡t al-

NORTH BROOK
For Billy Hirsch tobe on the court inthe fourth quarterlast week in theteam's sectionalsemifinal lossagainst New Trierwas a personalvictory for theNotre Dame senior.
After not playing basket-ball at all as a junior, Hirschdecided to come out for theteam following the footballseason. But a broken fingerprevented him from try-ing out with the rest of theplayers.
Tom Les gave Hirscha special tryout, but theNotre Dame coach made noprom ses.
"I told him I couldn't evenguarantee I could keep himon team," said Les, whoseteam ended its season with a59-58 loss to the Trevians atGlenbrook North on March 7."If I did, I told him I couldn'tguarantee he would play atall."
With an assist from theother players who pushedfor his inclusion, Hirsch madethe Dons. Even though hestarted at the bottom of therotation, the 6-foot-2 guardworked his way into the
rotation by season's end."I am proud of myself, what
I was able to do this season,"said Hirsch, who broke thepinky finger on his left (shoot-ng) hand. 'I have to thank
my teammates for helping meget into the groove. lt was agreat opportunity to be a ona great team, to play with alot of great guys."
Added Les, "He was a greatstory. He went from maybenot playing at all to being ahuge contributor for us, espe-cially in the playoffs."
Hirsch was one of sevenseniors on the Dons, who fin-shed 24-6 overall and 5-3 in
the ESCC, one of the deepestconferences in the Chicagoarea.
'Our seniors were awfullygood," Les said. "They weregood leaders and set a goodexample for our underclass-men. They bought into play-ing great defense and boughtinto giving up their ownpersonal agendas for a teamgoal."
Along with Hirsch, seniorsDonte Stephenson, MattMooney, Eddie Serrano, JakeMaestranzi, Justin Halbranand Danny Lazzara helpedthe Dons win the WheelingHardwood Classic in Decem-ber and a regional title.
Mooney, who will play at AirForce, was Notre Dame's loneall-league representative. The6-4 guard scored 23 points inhis final game with the Dons.

"Those are guys who don'tget their names in the paper, -and they are not in many ofthe highlights," Les said. "But,like all the other guys, theywere very important to oursuccess. They both set anexample for everybody withhow they acted.
"Our locker room was great,and our practices were great.That isn't always easy tofind. There are good teamsthat don't have that kind offeeling."
