Andrew Przybylo, Nuesmayor and co-owner ofWhite Eagle Banquets,greeted customers one lasttime on April 12.

A day later, the Przybylofamily officially completedthe sale of the banquet hailto Schiller Park-based Vic-toria Banquets. WhiteEagle was founded by An-drew Przybylo's father,Ted, in 1947. Originally lo-cated in Chicago. it movedto Nues in 1967.

The day before the own-ership was transferred, thefamily organized a party tomark the end of an era.Friends, customers andcurrent and former em-ployees were invited toattend. Most of the guestswho spoke to Niles Herald-Spectator said that theywere apprehensive aboutthe change, but that theywere willing to give thenew owners a chance.

The Nues Spectator, oneof this newspaper's pred-ecessors, reported on Dec.4, 1985, Ted Przyhylo grewup in West Town, whichwas then a hub of Chicago'sPolish-American commu-nity In 1947, he bought aboys club near the inter-section of Division Streetand Western Avenue.Drawing upon his experi-ence of working in restau-rants, he used the space toopen a catering business.

During the 1950s, thepopulation ofthe area shift-ed as a growing number ofPolish-Americans movednorthwest along Milwau-kee Avenue, with many ofthem settling in Niles.

Bob Ziemba, whoworked as a bartender atWhite Eagle for 45 years,said that Ted Przybylowanted to move the busi-ness closer to his clientele.

"They bought Tromba'sRestaurant and picnicgrounds, and they boughtthis place called Helen's,which was right next door,"Ziemba said. 'tnd thenthey expanded out east andthey expanded south."

Those buildings, he ex-plained, are still parts of thebanquet hail. Renovationssmoothed over the differ-ences between differentportions, but it's still pos-sible to see where theywere if one knows what tolook for.

Since then, White Eagleplayed host to celebritiessuch as Muhammad Ali andLarry Hagman. It also be-came a major hub for localand state politics, holdingfundraisers for Chicagomayoral candidate BernardEpton and Goy. JamesThompson. Most recently,it played hosts to severalNiles Forward Party events.

After Ted Przybylo died,the ownership was splitbetween his six children.But as those children gotolder, they started wonder-

White Eagle banquet hail changes hands

ing about the future. An-drew Przybylo said that itwas just one of the reasonswhy they ultimately de-cided to sell.

"The family is gettingolder, and we're gettingtired," he said: "And itwasn't going to go to thethird generation."

Speaking on behalf of theentire family, Kiki Przybylo,Andrew's daughter, said

that Victoria Banquetswasn't planning any signifi-cant changes.

"They're going to keepthe same menu, and (WhiteEagle) will operate underthe same employees," shesaid.

Still, a change of own-ership represented the endof an era. To mark thetransition, the familyhosted a party from noon to

GOP STODENKOV/PIONEER PRESS

Customers and employees, past and present, reminisce at the White Eagle farewell party.

6 p.m. Ampol Aires, a Chi-cago area polka band, per-formed. Photos and news-paper clippings from theWhite Eagle's history weredisplayed in the lobby, andvisitors could buy mer-chandise from the banquethail gift shop and decora-fions at steep discounts.Even large decorations -such as human-sized sol-dier decorations and treas-ure chests - were up forsale.

Diane Michaiski, whobought the soldier decora-fions, said she was aston-ished that she was able toget what she did.

"My husband told methey were selling stuff, but Ihad no idea how big it wasgoing to be," she said.

For the guests who at-tended, this was a bitter-

sweet occasion. AI Kwiat-kowski, who proudly saidthat his first job was atWhite Eagle's original loca-tion, was apprehensive.

"Only time will tell (whatwill happen to WhiteEagle), because you neverknow," he said. "They canpromise you the moon, andin six months ..."

Tom Suwinski said that,even though White Eaglewasn't closing, the sale stillfelt like a loss.

"I think it's a loss of anicon, a loss of heritage," hesaid. "My dad is buriedacross the street - he'sturning over in his grave."

Suwinski said he wasconcerned that, with thenew owners, the restaurantwould lose a personaltouch, with the menu turn-ing into bland "McDonald'sstyle" mass-produced food.However, he said that hedidn't blame the Przybylosfor selling - he respectedthe hard work they put in,and he could see whythey'd want to do some-thing else.

On his part, the mayoradmitted that he wasn'tentirely sure what he wasgoing to do next.

"I don't know what I'mgoing to do on Fridays,Saturdays and Sundays,"Przybylo said. "I'll have tofind a new place to go. TheWhite Eagle has been mysocial network. Everybodyknew they could find mehere. I'm going to find aquiet bar or a restaurantwhere I'm going to hangout at."

Throughout the event,multiple people came up tohim, thanking him for greatmemories and offeringgifts. Przybylo said that hewas glad to see that WhiteEagle meant so much to somany people.

"It's great," he said."Over the years, we've hadso many people that be-came part of the WhiteEagle family. Today was anice testament to that. I'mgrateftil."

Pace suburban bus agen-cy has been releasing moredetails on what the new,faster bus service along Mil-waukee Avenue will looklike.

As previously reported byPioneer Press, Pace is cur-rently working on launchingan Arterial Rapid Transitbus service along the sectionof Milwaukee Avenue thatruns between Jefferson ParkTransit Center and Golf MillMall. Officially kno asMilwaukee Pulse, the serv-ice is part of Pace's plan tospeed up service along someofits busiest corridors.

The new service will havefewer stops, but it will alsotravel faster thanks to signalpriority that would allow itto get around traffic atcertain intersections. Thebuses will feature Wi-Fi andUSB chargers, and bus stopswill feature real-time arrivalinformation. And whileRoute 270, which currentlyseives the corridor, will con-tinue running, it will run lessfrequently than before.

Route 270 is currentlyone of the busiest routes inthe entire Pace system. Ac-cording to the currentschedule, it runs betweenJefferson Park Transit Cen-ter and Golf Mill Mall anaverage of 10-15 minutesduring rush hour, aboutonce every 20 minutes dur-ing daytime and about onceevery 30 minutes in theevenings. An average of oneof three buses keeps gningpast Golf Mill Mall, termi-nating at Glenhrook Hospi-tal. The route has a stop anaverage of once every twoblocks.

The Milwaukee Pulsewould function similarly toChicagn's J14-Jeffery Jumpservice. Pace's plans call forPulse to have a total of 10stations. In the Niles sectionof the route, this includesstops at Touhy Avenue, Har-lem Avenue, Oakton Street,Main Street, Dempster

Street and Golf Mill Mail.Each stop will have slightlyraised platforms withwheelchair ramps, new pas-senger shelters, more prom-ment signage and displaysshowing real-time arrivalinformation.

Pace spokesman PatrickWilmot said that Route 270will still make trips betweenJefferson Park Transit Cen-ter and Glenbrook Hospital.However Pulse buses wouldnow handle most of theTransit Center-Golf Milltrips.

"Our plans are to reduceservice frequency on Route270 and operate an in-creased level of frequencyon Pulse service versus theexisting Route 270 sched-ule' he said. "In fact, thePulse service will operatewith the same or betterfrequency throughout theday when compared to ex-isting Route 270 servic&'

The remaining Route 270buses would still serve thesame stops they do cur-rently.

"Our current plans callfor operating local serviceon Route 270 to comple-ment the express, limitedstop service on the PulseMilwaukee Line," Wilmotsaid. "Ifa customer needs toaccess a destination that is inbetween Pulse stops, he orshe could either walk theextra distance or transfer atthe Pulse station to a 270 busto complete the trip."

The Pulse buses will offerfree Wi-Fi - something thatcurrently is available only onPace Express routes. Theywill also feature amenitiesunique to Pulse.

"We will offer USB charg-ing ports, so that customerscan charge cellphones andother mobile devices in or-der to ensure they can stayconnected and productivewhile traveling with us'Wilmot said. 'Pulse buseswill also be the first in oursystem to feature digitalinformation signage that canbe used to post informationabout detours, public meet-

ings and hearings and otherannouncements."

Under the current time-line, the plans for the PulseART would be finalized bythe end of the year. Theconstruction will take placethroughout 2016, with theservice launching in 2017.

The construction costswill be covered through a1deral grant, but Pace iscovering architecture andengineering aspects of theproject The agency hasbudgeted $800,000 for thispurpose for 2015.

Since the budget wasapproved, (kw. Bruce Rann-er has proposed a budgetthat would decrease statefunding for Pace.

"Because the state'sbudget process is in its earlystages, it's unclear at thistime how large any cuts maybe to our operating budget,"Wilmot said.

He explained that if thecuts are implemented, theywouldn't affect the planningprocess - but they wouldaffect how much moneyPace can spend on the regu-lar bus route operations.Because it would be twomore years before Pulseservice starts, the transitagency would have time toadjust its budget

"There will be time tomake any adjustments - ifneeded - to the service planfor Pulse service if fundingcuts affect our operatingbudget before the Pulseservice is scheduled to beginin 201" Wilmot said.

If the funding cuts doaffect the service, there arefactors that would help soft-en the blow.

"A large portion of theoperating costs for the PulseMilwaukee Line are beingtransferred from what wecurrently spend to operateRoute 270," Wthnot said. "Aswe reduce the frequency ofRoute 270 service, we willre-allocate those resourcesinto the Pulse service."

An estimated $10,410was raised to benefit thehospital, said Annie Krall,18, a Maine South HighSchool senior from ParkRidge.

Krall is vice president ofthe National Honor Societyand is credited with initiat-ing the idea.

The amount raised Sat-urday "is really amazingsince our goal for the eventwas $10,000," Krall said."Originally, that amountseemed like an impossibletask, and we ended ipsurpassing it."

The Park Ridge YouthCommission was among 38sponsors that donatedfunds or materials.

Costly repairs, falling membershipprompt sale of \TFW headquartersBY JENNIFER JOHNSONPioneer Press

Members of the ParkRidge VFW Post 3579 arewaiting to see if interest intheir aging building willresult in a sale.

Though no offer hasbeen made, a potential buy-er is interested in the prop-erty at 10 W. Higgins Road,which has been on themarket for several months,said VFW Post AdjutantDennis Anderson.

Falling membership andcostly repairs to the build-ing have prompted theVFW to put the propertyup for sale and look atmoving to a smaller loca-tion, likely outside ParkRidge.

"Our membership is de-cliningbecause most of ourmembers are from WorldWar II and Korea," An-derson, a Vietnam veteran,explained. "We're losingmembers like crazy andwith our membership rollsfalling off, we don't need aspace that big anymore."

The building is also "indisrepair," Anderson said,with estimates to renovateit as high as $2.4 million.Cost to make the buildingaccessible for people withdisabilities and be in corn-pliance with the Americanswith Disabilities Act comesin at around $600,000, headded.

The price tag on the35,000-square-foot prop-erty at Higgins and Can-field Roads - which in-cludes the VFW building, acellular tower and parkinglot - is $2.3 million, a realestate listing shows. It ismarketed as a "great re-development opportunity,"according to the listing.

Anderson said the VFWpost acquired the buildingin the mid-1950s. Prior tothen, it served as PennoyerSchool

If the VFW post relo-cates, it will likely choose acommunity that allows vid-eo gaming, Anderson said,though he hopes the post

will not be too far fromPark Ridge.

"We'll have to changeour name, but we'll keepthe number 3579," he said.

Members come fromvarious communities andthe city of Chicago.

The VFW leadershipwould also like to "tailor [anew location] to fit theyounger veterans," Ander-son added, while also mak-ing it easily accessible forolder veterans and thosewith disabilities.

The property on whichlo w. Higgins Rd. stands istechnically within unincor-porated Cook County, notthe city of Park Ridge. Thedesignation allowed theVFW to serve alcohol backwhen Park Ridge was still adry town, Anderson noted.

If the building is demol-ished and a new devel-opment constructed, theproject would need ap-proval from Cook County,unless the owner were toseek annexation into ad-jacent Park Ridge or Chi-cago.

The property was oncehome to the original one-room Pennoyer school-house, built in 1841. It wasrebuilt in 1893 and 1920,and additional rooms wereadded in 1950, just before it

was sold and a new schoolconstructed at the comerof Cumberland and FosterAvenues in Norridge.

Anderson's grandfather,a World War I veteran, andhis father, a veteran ofWorld War II, were bothmembers of the Park RidgeVFW post as well.

"I used to bring mygrandparents there for theFriday Night Fish Fry," herecalled. "That post goesback with me many, manyyears. We're going to missit. But if we do things theright way, the new estab-lishment will be even bet-ter and maybe we'll seenew members coming in."

The Park Ridge VFWpost was established in1938.

Post members are notthe only ones who meet at10 W. Higgins Road.Groups like the ChicagoChapter ofABATE Illinois,International Brotherhoodof Electrical Workers, andPorsche Club of Chicago,among others, have usedthe building for meetingsand events as well.

Dances and dinners arealso held at the post head-quarters.

Maine East students get a taste of Niles governmentIGOR STUDENKOVPioneer Press

A group of Maine EastHigh School seniors got achance to see what it's liketo be Nues mayor, trusteesand village staff membersduring the Niles Local Goy-ernment Day.

The event, which ran themorning of April 9, was acollaboration betweenMaine East Social StudiesDepartment, the NilesTeen Center and the villageof Nues officials. Eightyseniors from U.S. Govern-ment classes met with stafffrom all village depart-ments and took part in amock budget meeting.Their goal - try to figureout how to deal with a $1.5million budget deficit thatNues may face if GovernorBruce Rauner's cuts to in-come tax revenue are ap-proved.

U.S. Government teacherJennifer Conlon told NilesHerald-Spectator that thatthe school and City of DesPlaines government col-laborated on a similar exer-cise for a number of years.The school first tried doingan event with the village ofNues last fall. Conlon ex-plained that the organizersreceived plenty of feed-back, and when it cametime to plan the springNational Government Day,several aspects of the exer-cise were adjusted accord-ingly.

Nues Teen Center Direc-tor Mark Williams ex-plained that exercise wasdesigned to give students ahands-on lesson how thelocal government operates.Incorporating the real-lifebudget struggles wouldraise the stakes for stu-dents.

"The proposed budgetcut will create a wonderfulreal-life learning experi-ence for these students asthey help to make the toughchoices that face our com-munity and our state," Wil-liams said.

Maine East students ar-

rived at the Nues VillageHall at 8 a.m., where theywere welcomed by MayorAndrew Przybylo. Willanisgave the students a run-down of how the villagegovernment worked andhow tax revenue was usedin its budget.

The students then brokeup into several groups. Onegroup prepared to play vil-lage trustees and the mayor.One group prepared playthe public. The remaininggroups would play the staffof different village depart-ments. Each group metwith the head ofthe corre-sponding department andwhat the department does,what budget it has and howit spends its money. Theythen used that informationto come up with proposalfor how the village couldcut spending, raise revenueor some combination ofboth to make up for thedeficit.

The students received ahandout that gave somesuggestions. It included re-quiring residents to payfares on the Nues Free Bussystem, raising propertyand/or sales taxes, reduc-ing services and drawingupon village reserves.

"The proposed budget cut will create awonderful real-life learning experiencefor these students as they help to makethe tough choices thatface our communi-ty and our state"- Mark Williams, Nues Teen Center director

The students were splitinto groups based on theirinterests before the exer-cise, Conlon said.

After an hour and a halfof research and prepara-lion, the students gatheredin the main Village Boardmeeting room to hold themock budget meeting.

Kevin Talia, Eric Pon-zetti, Michel Kasprzyk, An-tony Rosa, Damien Masha-Smith and Robinson Mi-che! acted as trustees. An-thony Calderone acted asmayor. Maine East SocialScience Department ChairEarl Brownell took the seatnormally occupied by thevillage attorney, occasion-ally offering advice to themock board.

The group acting asNiles Fitness Center staffproposed raising fees forresidents and non-resi-

dents by 10 and then 15percent. Family Servicesgroup proposed raising theproperty tax by one per-cent. Senior Center groupsaid they would use fund-raisers to make up cuts totheir budget.

Department of PublicServices groups proposedadding fares for Nues FreeBuses, with fares scaledbased on income. They alsoproposed raising propertytaxes and the village's gaso-line tax. They argued that,because many residentsdon't know gasoline taxexists, raising it won't in-spire the kind of publicbacklash that property orsales tax increases would.

Fire Department groupcalled for raising the salestax and charging 25-centfares for Niles Free Bus. ITDepartment group said

they would postpone theirprojects for a year. TheCommunity Developmentgroup said that Nilesshould encourage morebusinesses to moveinto thevillage, and proposed rais-ing the sales tax by onepercent.

But no group went as faras the General Governmentgroup, which proposed cut-ting the village funding tothe Niles Historical Societyas well as closing downNues Teen Center and theDepartment of FamilyServices. Group memberNeha Patel argued that theMaine Township alreadyprovides services similar toFamily Services, and thatfunding the Niles TeenCenter didn't make sense.

"Only 50 percent of teensthat go to the teen centerare from Nues," she said.

The students who repre-sented the public proposedthat the village shouldbring higher-quality storesto GolfMill Mall.

"GolfMill has been slow-ly less productive over theyears," said Brammer Ky-ree. "We're asking for reno-vations. We are asking fordifferent food places."

CaMerone pointed that

the Village Board wouldn'tbe able to order a privatebusiness to do anything -though he added that heagreed that Golf Mill coulduse some improvements.

"I think I speak for ev-eryone [here] - I'm surethat's what we all want," hesaid.

The mock board thendiscussed what it wouldactually do to deal with thebudget shortfall. The trust-ees unanimously approvedrequiring residents to putleaves into bags that havevillage stickers. They alsoapproved raising FitnessCenter fees. A proposal tocut Netflix from the SeniorCenter, which was esti-mated to save the village$400 a yeai ended in adeadlock, with Calderonecasting the tie-breakingvote against the proposal.

The proposal to chargefares for the Niles Free busled to the longest discus-sion. While Kasprzyk pro-posed income-based fares,Michel argued that charg-ing fares wasn't ultimatelyin the village's best interest.He argued that sales taxwas a major source ofvillage revenue, so the vil-lage should encourage peo-ple to spend money. Havingto pay fares would limitthat.

After some discussion,the mock board decided totake the cue from the pro-posed Niles Free Bus re-vamp and cut the numberof buses while extendingservice hours.

In the end, the board wasable to cut the shortfalldown to $1.17 million.

As the exercise endedand students prepared toleave, Williams said that hehoped they got somethingpositive out of the experi-ence.

"I really hope that youfound this to be valuable,"he said. "This is somethingthat a lot of us do asfull-time jobs."

Niles West debate team holds court at Lincoln Hall I

EDUCATION

NATALIE HAYESPioneer Press

Setting aside the socialdivides between middleand high school, membersof the Nues West debateteam headed over to Lin-coin Hall Middle School inLincolnwood after schoolon April 7 to engage in ameeting of the minds withsome of their youngercounterparts.

Accompanied by debatecoach Eric Oddo, threeNues West debate students- Faith Geraghty JamesMcClellan, and Emily Sil-ber - engaged in a little"real talk" with a group ofsix junior high debate stu-dents eager to learn aboutlife as a high school debater.

The meeting was ar-ranged between Oddo andSchool District 74 debatecoach Jill Litwin to helpbroaden the junior high

debate program and tobuild a deeper interest inthe hobby amongthe youngdebate students, who Oddosaid will be a crucial part ofthe future of Niles West'sdebate team.

"It's so vital that thestudents continue [debat-ing in high school] becauseif we don't have studentscoming into the program,everything we've builtcould go away," Oddo said.

Oddo was referring tothe reestablishment of thedebate program in 2010after it had disappearedmore than 10 years priorwhen the former debatecoach left the school.

The program has en-joyed considerable successsince it was re-launched byOddo and several studentsfour years ago, and has evenproduced one of top collegedebaters in the U.S.

Beyond boosting collegeapplications, it turns outdebate teaches a major lifelesson that we all even-tually learn as adults-achieving a goal doesn'thappen easily, or withoutsome level of discomfort.

"It's not always easy, andit's not always fun, but atthe end of the day, it'ssomething that brings sucha great benefit,' McClellansaid. "And if you're some-one like me who's done itfor four years, you start tounderstand that debate isabout more than just argu-ing, but it's actually aboutlearning how to communi-cate."

For Niles West studentFaith Geraghty, debatehelped her see beyond thesuperficial picture of mar-nage she once had in hermind.

"I used to think thatsomeday I'd just marryrich, but debate has openedmy eyes to a lot of thingsI'm good at and it hasgotten me thinking aboutwhat I'll be good at in thefuture," Geraghty said.

After the Niles West de-baters finished ravingabout the program, thegroup of six Lincoln Hallstudents, mostly sixthgraders, didn't have awhole lot to say, despitegentle encouragement tospeak up from PrincipalJean Weiss

"I don't like liberalsandthat's all," one student said.

Lincoln Hall debate stu-dents Ephraim Bennett,Elijah Kim, Eric McClellan,Bradley Pawlow, AnthonyRoman and Abhi Shah at-tended the meeting.

There are some things mem-bers of Maine South HighSchool's Gay-Straight Alliancewish would disappear when itcomes to outside perceptions ofthe lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-gender community

Like thinking it is OK to askinappropriate or embarrassingquestions regarding their sexual-it)'. Or the stereotypes of homo-sexual men as effeminate and thenegative representation of lesbiancharacters as criminals on "Or-ange Is the New Black."

Or the belief that being gay is achoice.

"It's not like I ever sat down andsaid, 'Hmm. I'll go with this one.I'll go with rejection from thecommunity I'll definitely make itharder on myself,' " said ConradShowley, a member ofthe group.

The small, but active, Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) hopes tocall attention to the challenges ofLGBT students and get hundredsoftheir classmates to join them inspreading a message on April 17.The only catch is that they can'tsay a word.

The GSA, with club sponsorsJennifer Sarashinsky and MikeVinci, are again organizing Day ofSilence at the Park Ridge school, anationwide campaign aimed atexemplifying the "silencing ef-fect" of bullying and harassmentof LGBT teens. For the GSA,taking a vow of silence for anentire day is also reflective of howmembers of the gay and trans-gender community are forced tobe silent about who they are andhow they feel.

Showley said he hopes Day ofSilence will make his peers"understand in a new light thestruggle a lot of adolescents - oranyone - feel" and "how yourwords can affect people."

Around 300 Maine South stu-dents typically sign up to join theroughly 20-member GSA in theirendeavor and some also purchaseT-shirts to promote the message.This year's shirts include a quota-tion from Harvey Milk, an openlygay American politician respon-sible for passing a gay rightsordinance for San Francisco in the1970s. The quote reads, "Hopewill never be silent."

Those who sign up vow not tospeak for the entire day - whichincludes answering questions

aloud in class or chatting withfriends in the cafeteria - and theyalso carry cards explaining whythey are silent and that they aretaking a step to build awarenessand address "injustices" faced bythe LGBT community.

Though Day of Silence has itsroots in a climate of bullying,several members of the GSA saidthey think the Maine South corn-munity is largely tolerant towardthe LGBT community within theschool walls.

"The school as a whole is reallyaccepting, especially the past cou-pie ofyears' said Brian Bonadona,a transgender student who wasborn female but identifies andlives life as a male. "There's other

transgender kids, and I haven'thad really many issues at all.People are just really nice andrespectful. A lot of schools aren'tlike that, so I'm grateful we have astrong and accepting community"

"Even if people don't agreewith it, they keep it to them-selves," one GSA member noted.

Showley, who describes MaineSouth as "a better school thanmany others" when it comes toLGBT tolerance and understand-ing, said he saw the attitudes of hisclassmates firsthand when hisgovernment class was asked todiscuss whether an openly gayteacher could be fired for beinggay.

"We discussed it out loud and I

was really scared someone wouldsay, 'Oh yeah, he definitely shouldbe fired for that.' But no one in theclass said that," Showley said.

"I will say the school has comea long way since I began assponsor [of the GSA eight yearsago]," said Sarashinsky, a specialeducation teacher.

"The climate of acceptanceamong the students and commu-nity has grown immensely," shesaid.

Faculty and staff have alsoshown support, she added.

"T've never had a faculty mem-ber or administrator not supportthe Day of Silence," Sarashinskysaid. "And if parents have calledwith questions about it, they have

[email protected] ®Jen..Pioneer

come to me and they have alwaysdefended the students' rights todo it. I know that's not the case inschools across the country Thefact that they have never ques-tioned it and always accepted it isfantastic."

That's not to say that membersof the GSA have never encoun-tered negativity

Member Haley recalled a sta-dent making a derogatory com-ment while she manned a sign-uptable for a past Day of Silenceevent.

"I expressed to him that wasnot acceptable, but he justlaughed and ran away," she said."It made me really angry becausehe knew that I heard it and hethought it was funny."

During a schoolwide pledge topromote positivity earlier in theschool year, Showley shared howhe had been ridiculed by a fellowstudent while showing supportfor LGBT teens during a tie-dieT-shirt day.

Bonadona said he wishes therecould be more education amonghis peers about homosexualityand gender identification.

"It would be helpful if peopleknew more," he said, explainingthat others will often ask what heconsiders inappropriate ques-tions regarding his gender iden-tity or tell him he is "really a girl?'

"If you knew not to say that, Iknow you wonldn't say it," he said.

In addition to being a support-ive group and self-proclaimed"safe place" for students, the GSAhas also sponsored an LGBThistory month display in a schooldisplay case available to variousstudent groups, circulated peti-lions asking classmate to declarethey are allies of the LGBTcommunity and promoted accept-ance during the rainbow tie-dieT-shirt day.

Day of Silence was created in1996 by the Gay, Lesbian andStraight Education Network,which calls it "the largest singlestudent-led action toward cre-ating safer schools for all, regard-less of sexual orientation, genderidentity or gender expression."

Day ofSilence concludes with alocally organized Night of Noise,which this year will take place atthe Thompson Center in down-town Chicago. The night featureslive music and dancing.

Maine South students call attention to LGBT community

NATALIE HAYESPioneer Press

Lincoinwood could cancel itsannual diversity month, a tradi-tion marked by the display ofabout 60 flags flown along LincolnAvenue.

The village is considering stop-ping the two-decades long pro-gram to negate the possibility ofconflict over the inclusion of thePalestinian flag in the celebration,village officials said.

Ever since a screaming matcherupted during an emotional,high-tension Human RelationsCommission meeting last summerattended by 175 residents, com-missioners have discussed thepossibility of creating a revisedflag policy.

The commission on March 9recommended a new policy to thevillage board that would put intoplace more objective guidelinesfor village officials to use whendeciding whether to allow a flag tobe added to the display, while alsograndfathering in all flags that

were included in the display lastyear.

The policy received a positiveresponse from a few trusteeswhen it was discussed during theApril 7 village board meeting, butmost said the flag display shouldbe banned altogether.

"However you want to look at it,the better choice is to discontinuethe program," Trustee Ron Copesaid. "To put ourselves right backwhere we were a year ago is aserious mistakethis is not amatter of someone celebratingtheir heritage, but a testament of apolitical war."

Last summer a handful of resi-dents called the police to complainabout the Palestinian flag beingincluded in the annual flag display,police told Pioneer Press last July.

Calls to remove the flag cameamidst rising tensions betweenIsrael and Palestine as each sideblamed the other for the explosiveviolence that gripped the MiddleEast that month.

The tumultuous situation in theGaza Strip had resonated all the

way to Lincoinwood on August 11,when the Human Relations Com-mission provided a public forumfor the community to engageopenly about the flag's presence.The Pioneer Press attended themeeting.

The emotional debate drew apassionate crowd to LincolnwoodVillage Hall that night But whatwas supposed to be an open forumfor residents to exercise theirfreedom ofspeech turned into thespewing ofhate-filled accusationsbefore one resident was kicked outofthe meeting for making racially-fueled remarks, Pioneer Pressreported in August 2014.

Tensions in the room hit aboiling point when one man wear-ing a yarmulke pointed at theother side of the room where alarge group of Palestinians hadgathered and angrily screamed,"terroristsget out of the room!"

His comment sparked outcryamong the crowd and triggeredMayor Jerry Turry to throw himout of the room.

Residents flooded Village Hall last summer to voice opinions about acontroversial decision on behalf of the Human Relations Commission toallow the Palestinian flag to fly during Diversity Month.

gerous' Cope said the flag pro-gram has become "hostile to thepeople in the connnunit"

Turry and Trustee NicholasLeftakes argued in favor of keep-ing the flag program as long as it'sguided by a neutral policy thatwould give officials a set of specificguidelines to go from.

"For the past 10 years there washannony," Turry said. "Last year itblew up because of what washappening in the world, but wenever heard a peep from anyone inthe past 10 years."

Pace suburban bus tran-sit agency will hold a publicmeeting about the plannedArterial Rapid Transit serv-ice along Milwaukee Ave-nue.

The service will followthe portion of currentRoute 270, running be-tween Jefferson Park Tran-sit Center and the Golf MillMall. The new service,which will be known asMilwaukee Pulse, willmake fewer stops and use aTransit Signal Priority sys-tem, allowing the buses totravel faster. The TSP sys-tem sends a signal to trafficlights, holding off lightchanges if the bus is run-ning late. Pace spokesmanPatrick Wilmot described itas a system similar to one

Crawford avenue, a road by any other name

RANDY BLASER

I used to laugh at my grandparentswhenever they would refer to PulaskiRoad, just a few blocks from our Chicagohome, by its old name of Crawford Avenue.

Gee, I used to think. How could they getthat wrong? We live right there.

But no matter how they tried, or howmany times I would correct them, they stillcalled it Crawford.

One day I was downtown and someoneasked me for directions. It was easy. I knewwhat they were talking about. But some-how! just slipped up.

Case far from closed onreligion vs. discriminationWant to bet?The national furor over

the so-called ReligiousFreedom Restoration Actsin Arkansas and Indianahas been resolved, we aretold, by changes both states'made to their proposedlegislation.

These changes are aimed at making itimpossible for the acts to be used to dis-criminate against gay people.

Though it doesn't specifically addressthe issue ofdiscrimination, the Arkansaslaw mirrors the federal religious act

And in Indiana, the epicenter of theconflict, the law now says it does not giveanyone the right to refuse employment,service or housingbased on sexual ori-entation or gender identity. The law alsocannot be used as a legal defense in anycivil suits over service reftisal.

Case closed. Want to bet?The fight to punish gay people to make

them less than full citizens, is a long anddeeply felt one. Those who are offended totheir core beliefs by gay people will not justgive up.

The passage of religious freedom resto-ration acts may not quite be working out Itsurprised me to learn that 20 states (in-cluding Illinois) and the federal govern-ment have such acts. I must have beenasleep while all this was going on.

PAui S

Just go past the Civic Center, I advised.The Civic Center? Huh?You know, where the Picasso is. Right at

Civic Center Plaza. And the Eternal Flame.Then I realized it hasn't been called the

Civic Center for about 40 years. But some-how I lapsed into old Chicago. Today it'sthe Daley Center and Daley Plaza, namedafter Mayor Richard J. Daley. Well, at leastI know who he was.

I was reminded ofthat embarrassinglapse again this past week when a friendposted a photo on Facebook ofone of myfavorite spots. It was the fountain in theplaza near a Chicago bank that is a land-mark building.

Ifyou guessed First National Bank Plazaat the First National Bank building, thenyou're like me. But, ifyou just moved here,you probably know it as Excelon Plaza,near Chase Bank

How did I become my grandparents?

But the laws in most ofthese states (again, in-cluding Illinois) have pro-tections for gay people.

And in 2005, Illinoispassed the Illinois HumanRights Act, which specifi-cally protects gays fromdiscrimination.

Based on the fire storm ofopposition tothe original Indiana and Arkansas laws, itseems as ifthe rest ofAmerica is not quiteready to equate religious freedom with aright to refuse to sell pizzas to gay people.Nor that making gays second-class citizenssomehow "restores" religious freedom.Religious freedom in America doesn't haveto be restored because it never has beentaken away.

So, what tactic will the foes ofgay peoplenow adopt? We'll soon see, unfortunately.

Too bad.Because there is a way for us to treat

each other, one we all know, one that hasbeen around for at least 3,000 years, onethat is a tenet of all organized religions.

It is called the ethics ofreciprocity. Weail know it as the Golden Rule.

The Golden Rule enjoins us to treatother people as we would like to be treated.

It's a shame that in those thousands ofyears we haven't learned to live by thissimple - but profound - code of morality.

ASSONE

The old protester in me still calls U.S.Cellular Field by the old name that we Soxfns cherish - Comiskey Park.

But when I say the Blackhawks play atthe Chicago Stadium, my kids look at melike I'm an idiot and I'm rushing headlonginto my dotage.

So I might as well fess up and get it allout in the open.

You may know that tall white buildingnear the north end of Michigan Avenue asthe Aon Center, but it is really the StandardOil Building. Ifyou take the train into thecity from the north suburbs, you might getoffat the Ogilvie Transportation Center.But you're wrong. It's the NorthwesternTrain Station, isn't it?

Ifyou have some state business to takecare of perhaps you go to the ThompsonCenter, but it is really the State of Illinoisbuilding.

So how did I become a stranger in my

scoi-r STANTIS

own city?I think it all started with the subway

system. Like most Chicagoans, there was atime when I had the byzantine systemdown pat.

To get out to O'Hare, you take the Jef-ferson Park. To get to Oak Park, hop on theLake Street El. To Evanston, you take theHoward, and the Ravenswood goes toRavenswood, of course.

That's how I get around Chicago.But then in 1993, someone not from

Chicago decided to eliminate all the elnames and go by color.

Since then, I have no idea where I'mgoing. IfI take the Red Line, or the BlueLine or the Green Line, I have no ideawhere I would end up.

Perhaps Crawford Avenue?

April is the month whenparents and caregivers forchildren with autism shoutout their solidarity, cheerdedicated volunteers andreaffirm their goal of ful-filled lives.

So it only makes sensethat Goy. Bruce Raunerused World Autism Monthto freeze $1 million fromthe state's support programfor those with autism -almost all of them children.It's believed he's going toempty the entire programofits $4 million support inthe next budget.

To be fair, Rauner hasannounced he won't bepaying out $25 millionmore for a raft of socialservice programs rangingfrom citizenship help forimmigrants to addictionprevention.

But autism funds strikeat a particularly vulnerablepopulation, plus the state'sAutism Project, a servicenetwork of 17 agencies and19 centers across the state.It's the largest and mostwidely acclaimed compre-hensive statewide system inthe country. They don't getMedicaid money nowRauner has pulled thesupport plug, too.

Advocates say a $1 in-vestment in this programproduces $7 in benefits.Mildly autistic childrenwho learn life skills even-tually become people whopay taxes and supportthemselves. That's whygovernment help for themis not a handout it's aninvestment.

Cutting parkiand acqui-sition funds and postponingbike path repairs are funda-mentally different thanslashing services for humansurvival. Not all budgetingis the same exercise.

The Autism Projectmakes life functional.There is no other mecha-nisin that gives those kids achance.

Rauner shoved a daerinto its heart last week.

A taxpayer might won-der how Rauner is going tofill the $1.7 billion budgetshortfall this year and thelong-term $200 billiondeficit by making autisticchildren figure out life ontheir own.

The answer is self-evi-dent. He isn't. This is aneducational exercise. It'snot frugal. It's just cheap.He is instructing peoplewho expect governmentwill make lives better thatthey should just tough itout.

Well, good, I can hearyou saying. Let's get all theindolent indigents off thepublic payroll and makethem pay for themselves.It's not fair, but who saidlife is fair?

Sorr that won't work.Even iflllinois jettisonedmost ofits social serviceobligations, the savings stillwould not fill up the budgethole. That solution is arubber band that won'tquite stretch.

That's because Illinois'fiscal mess is caused by oneglaring reality that no onein government can face. It'stoo dangerous, like lookingwide-eyed into the sun.

It's not the $1 million forkids with autism. That'schump change in the Illi-nois budget.

Here's the basic chasmstate government has cre-ated. Government in 11h-nois has agreed to paypublic pensions that are tooexpensive to sustain. Twen-ty-five cents ofevery Lili-nois public dollar goes topensions, and that ratio is askyward-aimed escalator.

But the state's Constitu-tion forbids changing thosepensions once they are ineffect.

Let me say it clearly.Illinois pays retired police,firefighters, teachers and

Goy. Bruce Rauner speaksMonday to the ChicagoTribune editorial boardabout his budget.

every other employee toomuch. Not more thanthey've earned; just morethan their fellow citizenscan bear. That does notmean their service waslacking.

Sometimes the numbersare obvious. Retired judgesaverage $128,000-a-yearpensions. Retired legisla-tors get $56,000.

In some cases, per em-ployee payoffis less theproblem than total payroll.State employees get$38,000 and state univer-sity workers average$37,280 at pension time. buttogether there are 234,000of them on the job now oralready retired.

Teachers get an annualaverage of$51,299. butthere are 261,000 of themin the pension pipeline.Then toss in pensions forpolice and firefighters.

That's too much for statefinances to survive. Theonly solution is to changethe state Constitution.

Fixing Illinois mightrequire legislators to fall ona very long, sharp sword forthe good ofthe many. 11h-fois can survive only if itfinds a constitutional meth-od to welch on pensions.

That might not be fairfor anyone, but who saidlife is fair?

Violent storm elicits accountsof '65's Palm Sunday outbreak

_ADAN Mo1Arc

When George Santayanafamously said that "thosewho cannot remember thepast are condenmed torepeat it," he probablywasn't talking about theweather. But a nearly for-gotten chapter of northernIllinois history certainlyappeared to be repeatingitselfon a memorable April9, 2015.

"This is a particularlydangerous situation," readthe frank bulletin from theNational Weather Serviceat 7:41 p.m. for residents innorthern and centraiMcHeniy County "You arein a life-threatening situa-tion. . Considerable darn-ag to homes, businessesand vehicles is likely andcomplete destruction ispossible."

This was in reference tothe tornado that badai-ready roared through Ro-chelle and the Rockfordarea and was winging itsway northeast towardWoodstock The bulletinminced no words as itadded that this "dangerousand potentially deadlytornado is on the ground.To protect your life, takecover now!"

Fortunately, early warn-ings like these protectedmany lives, and LakeCounty wasn't directly inthe path ofany confrmedtornadoes (though therewere high-wind reportsthat included a 91 mph gustrecorded at WaukeganHarbor as the post-sunsetstorm front passedthrough).

All ofthese early-Aprilweather dramatics seemedto be heralding the arrivalof a milestone this week-end: the 50th anniversaryofthe Palm Sunday Out-break, a burst of tornadic

activity that made thisThursday's storni look likejust another rainy day.

According to WeatherService accounts, April II,1965, unleashed 47 con-firmed tornadoes fromIowa through Ohio thatkilled 261 people and in-jured another 3,400 peopleover an exhausting U-hourperiod. Seventeen of thetwisters spread across that450-mile path were in theF4 categury packing windsin the 200- to 250-mphrange

One ofthose F4's infa-mously cut through CiystalLake in the middle of thestormy afternoon, carving anine-mile path through thevillage. It killed five peopleand destroyed clusters ofbuildings like a shoppingplaza on Route 14. TheCrystal Lake HistoricalSociety records that entiresubdivisions were flattened,with more than 80 homescompletely destroyed.

The path ofthat tornadotook it out of McHenryCounty and clipped the farnorthwest corner of LakeCounty plowing a 400-foot-wide path throughIsland Lake. A 2005 ac-count ofthe storm byNews-Sun alum ChrisBrenner reported that a5-year-old boy was killed inthe village and another fivepeople were injured as 46homes were destroyed. In atestament to the power ofthese incredible explosionsof nature, Brenner wrote

that the tornado toppled600 mature oak trees and"cut a ditch 18 inches deepand three feet wide acrossthe bottom oflsland Lakeitself?'

While that was thestrongest tornado in LakeCounty that day, it was notthe only one. The WeatherService notes that an F2twister (winds of 116-137mph) hit Gurnee about 30minutes later, traveling areported 4.5 miles. "Severalhomes were damaged andtwo planes flipped at Wau-kegan Memorial Airport"the Weather Service notes.'Pallingtrees damagedsome homes and two oth-ers lost their roofs?'

In Zion, an Fi tornadowas reported around thesame time that was on theground for less than a mile,and that was about it on theIllinois side ofthe storm. Byfar, the worst damage thatday was in Indiana, where137 people were killed by 10tornadoes, nearly all ofthem F4's

Both the Palm SundayOutbreak and this week'sstorm stand as evidencethat tornado alley doesn'talways dead-end in Chi-cago's southwest suburbs,leaving everything north ofMadison Street untouched.Here's one vote that it willbe another 50 years beforewe see anything like eitherstorm again.

Jason Feldman knowshow important the rela-tionship is between manand his best friend. It's whyhe started Chicago PetFriendly Real Estate, whichhelps find apartments forpeople with pets, particu-larly dogs.

Although the office is housed at its par-cnt brokerage, Related Realty, 350 W. Hub-bard St., in Chicago, "we serve peoplewherever they want to go," Feldman said.

"Related Realty is keenly aware of thelimitations presented by being a petowner," said Feldman, who started the petside ofthe company after finding a growingneed for it. "Each building has set pet re-strictions. For example, dogbreeds - suchas pit bulls, dobermans and rottweilers -are unable to live in most condo buildings.While other buildings allow dogs, they mayonly allow one and they might have aweight restriction."

To many people, not being able to take apet with when moving can be like losing afamily member. As someone who, at age 11,lost my dog and two cats because of a movethat would not allow them, I know theheartbreak oflosing a pet this way.

That's why I agree with Feldman, whosaid it's as much a disservice to show some-thing to a buyer they can't afford, as it isshowing them something they can't bringtheir pets to.

"I saw firsthand and early in my careerthe disappointment in buyers' eyes whenthey realized their dream home was out oftheir grasp due to them having two dogswhen the building only allowed one," hesaid. "This is not an issue for single-familyhomes, ofcourse, only condos and rentalbuildings."

Property search systems have no way ofindicating ifthere are breed restrictions,which is one ofthe most important thingsto know, Feldman said. Real estate websitesand the main Multiple Listing Service usedby Realtors are incomplete in listing petrules and regulations of buildings, he said.When an agent actually is careful withinputting specifics, they can only put thekind of pet (dog and/or cat), what theweight restrictions are and that there is apet count limitation, but not what thespecific count is, he said.

"There's nothing saying there are breedrestrictions, which almost every buildinghas," Feldman said. "There are more issuesand specifics to know, such as some build-ings allow two dogs with a total combinedweight of, like, 150 pounds, while otherssay you can have two dogs at 40 poundseach. Every building is different, so where

FELICIA DECHTER

does a buyer start?"That's where I come

in," Feldman said. "It takesa lot more work to weedout and comb throughbuildings to see what worksand what doesn't"

Using a wide search areasurrounding the downtown

Chicago area, Feldman found the followingstats on one-bedroom, two-bedroom andmulti-unit high-rises:

Eighty-five percent ofthe properties onthe market allow a dog 75 percent of prop-erties have a limitation on how many dogs,so ifyou have two dogs then your optionsare cut drastically 15 percent ofthe prop-erties do not have a weight limitation, so ifyou have a big dog, you're going to havemore trouble, Feldman said.

"Ifyou have two large dogs, then youmay be down to less than 10 percent of theproperties available," Feldman said. "If youhave two large pit buils/dobermans/Ger-man shepherds, etc., then you're basicallyscrewed."

Make sure you choose a Realtor whounderstands how important your pet is inyour life and that you won't move any-where without it, Feldman said.

"They should take it as seriously as whatyour budget is and how many bedroomsyou need," he said. "Tell them you don'twant to see any property that will not allowyour whole family."

The II questions you shouldask when lookingto rent orbuy property, complimentsof Feldman:

What pet type(s) are allowed?What dog breeds are allowed? Each

condo has its own specific restrictions.How many pets are allowed per unit

or per owner in the building?What are the weight and size restric-

fions?Is there a deposit or fee per pet?Is there a pet age restriction? Some

rentals won't allow dogs under one year.Is there an on-site dog run?Is there an on-site dog spa?Are there dog-only floors?Do you have to carry your dog in the

lobby?Where is the nearest dog park or

patch of grass?

One day after legendary actor!comedian Dan Aykroyd scored on"Shoot The Puck" at the ChicagoBlackhawks game at the UnitedCenter, he made an appearance atBinny's Beverage Depot's neweststore in Oak Brook, where hesigned movie memorabilia andbottles ofhis Crystal Head Vodka.

Fans lined up hours ahead ofAykroyd's appearance April 8, andfirst in line were six men dressed inful "Ghostbusters" geai Completewith jumpsuits and homemadepower packs, they were all mem-bers of the Midwest GhostbustersCoalition.

"Think of us as a Ghostbusters'union. We're scattered throughoutthe entire Midwest, the entirecountly really, and we dress likeGhostbusters, we raise money forcharity and we just like to havefun," said Bob Anderson, withWindy City Ghostbusters.

Aykroyd arrived on the scenewith energy,jokes and smiles whiletaking pictures with the Ghost-busters, who each had their powerpacks signed.

"It touches me that they remem-ber and that they come and stay outand wait in line, and I'm here attheir service today," Aykroyd said.

Turkish cuisine has come toPark Ridge.

Kurt Serpin and Iho Batnasanhave brought Cafe Orchid, theirfamily-owned restaurant in Chi-cagn's Lakeview neighborhood, toPark Ridges Village Green shop-ping center. The eatery openedMarch 19 in the former BangkokBelly location at 650 N. NorthwestHighway

While the couple still owns theoriginal, award-winning Cafe Or-chid at 1746 W Addison St, they'regiving their hometown of ParkRidge a try, hoping to fill what theysee as a local void in ethnic cuisine.

"We want them to exploreTurkish food more," said Batnasan

tion with Chicago, where he filmed"Blues Brothers" and once per-formed in the Second City comedytroupe. Standing in line, many fanswere sporting the infamous "BluesBrothers" suit and sunglasseswhile others brought in posters,pictures and figurines to havesigned.

"It feels like I'm coming home,"Aykroyd said. "We made two greatmovies here - 'Doctor Detroit,'where I met my wife, and 'BluesBrothers? Of cou we opened

of her Park Ridge neighbors."There's been so many customersso far who have been to Turkey.They have traveled there at leastonce or twice, so they are reallyfamiliar with the cuisine They justdon't have a place to go to'

Cafe Orchid is named for thecouple's daughter Orkide, who isnow almost 14. On one wall hangs arelief of IstanbuL showing thebHdg over the Bosphorus straitand an outline ofthe Hagia Sophia.A handmade, blue chandelier fromTurkey hangs from the ceilingwhile a paintingofmeninturbansdipping spoons into a bowl sitsabove a row ofbooths and tables.

Serpin is the restaurant's mainchef drawing on cuisine fromsouthern Turkey's Mediterraneanregion and his native city of Mersin.

our House of Blues here ... and itdefinitely feels like coming home."

Other fans waiting in line didn'tdress in character but insteadwanted to express gratitude forAykroyd's support of organizationssuch as the Fallen Heroes Fund, towhich he was donating part of theday's proceeds.

Deborah Gordon from Merrill-ville, Ind., is a wounded veteranwho served in the Air Force from1978-1982. She drove from Indianato Oak Brook and waited patiently

Diners can find much of thefamiliar Mediterranean fare at CafeOrchid - kabobs, babaganoush,tabuli, falafel, baklava and hunimus- but also more unique dishes, likeuslmdar, a lamb dish, homemadeTurkish ravioli with ground lamband garlic yogurt and Sultan De-light, consisting ofchar-grilled e-plant puree sauteed with mozza-rella cheese and topped with chick-en, lamb or bee

"Our homemade specials are thebest," Batnasan said." Everyoneloves our uskudai"

There are also several vegetarianentrees, authentic Turkish tea andcoffee and desserts like kadayif(similar to baldava) and revan asweet cake soaked in syrup.

Cafe Orchid also features a lunchmenu, catering and delivery

in line to thank Aykroyd forsupporting veterans.

"If it wasn't for funds like this, Iwould have been homeless whilewaiting for my Social Security tokick in," Gordon said. "A lot ofveterans depend on outside help,so the more stars they bring to thiscause, the more funding they willget."

When Gordon told Aykroyd herstory, he didn't hesitate to shakeher hand, give her a hug and askedfor a round of applause.

Serpin, who worked as a chef atother Turkish restaurants in Chi-cago before opening his own in2007, said cooking has been ahobby since he was as young as fiveyears old.

"I love to cook, all my life. Iwouldjust cook - nothing else," he saidwith a smile.

Batnasan, a native of Mongoliawho studied in Turkey beforeimmigrating to the United States,handles the business and manage-ment aspects ofthe restaurants.

Because Cafe Orchid features amenu of dishes that might beunfamiliar to many, Batnasan no-ticed an initiaI hesitancy amongsome Park Ridge customers to tryout the restaurant

"But once they come in they are

"My daughters say to me, 'Wewant to be actors or actresses anddo what you do, Dad.' And I say thereal heroes in life are the teachers,firefighters, policeman and mil-itary" Aykroyd said after the ex-change. "We are always cognizantof the sacrifices that firemen,policemen and the military makeevery day to give the lifestyle thatwe have in the Western world, sowe were happy to help the vet-erans' organizations today withsome ofthe proceeds."

Aykroyd also thanked MichaelBinstein, CEO ofßinny's BeverageDepot, for his contributions andorganizing the day's event at the25,000-square-foot Binny's facilityat 1500 16th St, Oak Brook

Over the span of two hours,Aykroyd greeted and took pictureswith every fan in line. The stock-pile of signed bottles of CrystalHead Vodka, which he started in2009 with his partner John Al-exander, may have dwindleddown, but Aykroyd never lost hischarnt

"It's a great opportunity for ourcustomers to come in to meet oneof their favorite idols and, at thesame time, support a great charity,"said general manager Ryan Kreh-biel.

Dayna Fields is a freelance reporterfor Pioneer Press.

Cafe Orchid plants Turkish cuisine in Park Ridgereally happy with the food," shesaid.

Customers from the Lakeviewlocation who live outside Chicagoare also happy that the Park Ridgerestaurant now exists, Batnasansaid.

"Our suburban customers arereally happy they don't have to goto Chicago and deal with thetraffic," she explained, adding"Hopefully we will stay here manymore years."

John Hughes home is 2015 Lake Forest ShowhouseBY LAu PAVINPioneer Press

Nearly 30 interior arid seven landscapedesigners are hard at work. transformingthe 11,000-square-foot home of latescreenwriter, director and producer JohnHughes, Jr. into a jaw-dropping display oftheir arts for the 2015 Lake Forest Sho-whouse & Gardens.

Every other year, the Lake Forest Aux-iliary chapter ofthe Infant Welfare Soci-ety of Chicago selects a historic LakeForest home to transform and open fortouring as a flindraiser for the Chicagoclinic they support. Since it began in 1985,the event has raised more than $3 millionfor the clinic, which provides health careservices to Chicago's medically under-served.

This year's showhouse and gardens isopen April 25 - May 17.

The designers' work will complementthe architecture ofEdwin Hill Clark,whose design credits include the LakeForest Library Ferry Hall, Lincoln Parkand Brookfield zoos.

Courage & Company, a Winnetka-based architecture and interior designcompany, was tasked with redesigningthe teen retreat area ofthe home. It's aroom attendees won't want to miss.

"[It] is designed to accommodate allneeds ofthe present day teenager," saidAmy Courage, principal ofCourage &Company.

She said that the room will be a clean,studio-like space with glossy, white wallsand a white shag rug, a 10-foot-long Ches-terfield sofa, white leather Eames chairsand ottomans and a wool tartan-coveredswing.

Fun touches will include three coffeetable cubes that double as game boards, astainless steel ventless fireplace, a smallrefrigerator, Keurig machine and a So-daStream to make carbonated drinks.

"The crowning achievement is a large,custom-designed light fixture based onthe Ingo Maurer Zettle collection that isinteractive with clips to leave handwrit-ten notes to each other," Courage said.

Lake Forest-based Lori Lennon + Asso-ciates will revamp the dining room.

To give the room more of a charming,traditional elegance, Lennon appliedmoldings and casings that framed thedoorways to the window seat side of theroom. Two oil paintings grace the walls ofthe room: one of a serene landscape sceneby artist Joan Rea and another an "explo-sion of floral blossoms?'

The furnishings "blend in with asmooth contemporary transition."

"The total balance of the space isuniquely achieved by the elegant skirted

7 Tips to turn afirst date into

rnmy, many moreWe've all been

there. You're sittingacross the table fromsomeone who youthink is close to per-feci:. Smiling from earto ear, you sip wineand barely eat as yougaze into his or herbeautiful eyes, unableto believe that after countless awftildates, you actually met someone whostop_ your world.

Pm describing a really, really greatfirst date. Unfortunately, no one getstoo many ofthose, as lots offirst datesend in disappointment, irritation, andthghtmare stories you end up sharingwith your friends. So, how can youturn a first date into many, manymore?

With the help ofErika Kybartas, amatchmaker for It's Just Lunch inChicago. we came up with seven tipswe think will improve your chances.

L Dress to Impress: "Before youleave the house for any date, look inthe mirror and say, 'Would I want todate me?" said Kybartas, who hasbeen in the business for 14 years, esti-mating she has set up thousands ofcouples during that time, hundredsofwhich have resulted in long-termrelationships. According to Kybartas,dress code for a dinner date is jeans, anice top and heels, or a dress if youprefer. For men, she recommendsbusiness casual: jeans, a nice pair ofshoes. a button down and sport coat. Ifcoming to the date straight from work,a suit is acceptable. "Look like you putsome effort into your outfit," Kybartassaid.

Choose the right venue: Keepfirst dates casual and short in length.Drinks and appetizers, lunch or coffeeare great options. Wait for a second orthird date to do something more activeor that will result in spending a longeramount of time together. Great secondor third dates include gulf, tennis, amuseum, or a paint and sip studio.

Be open-minded "You can'tchange a bad persona1it but you canalways change a bad T-shirt or anunlikable mustache," Kybartas said. Inother words, if you're a little bit un-sure, keep talkngi Keep asking ques-

rions and getting toknow the person. Youmight just fall in love,and can then talk tohim or her about su-perficial changes later.

'L Talk is impor-tant: Good topics for afirst date: commoninterests and light-

hearted subjects that make you bothlaugh. Bad topics: money, finances,religion, politics and past relation-ships. Also, ifyou start talking nega-lively about your ex, or call him or hera naine, I can guarantee you will neverhear from your date again. Ever.

Watch alcohol intake: Kybartaswarns, "Stay away from shots!" Shealso suests 1-2 drinks max for a firstdate, so that you keep a clear head andyou can really get to know the person.Additionally, excessive drinking leadsto poor judgment, inappropriate con-versation and bad behavior. It can alsolead to lack ofseif-control, and we allknow what that could mean. Greatsegue into No. 6.

Keep sex offthe table: Kybartasand I both agree that waiting a fewdates to get physical is wise. It isn'talways easy to refrain from sex if thereis an intense attraction, but buildingthat emotional connection will makewhat happens in the bedroom evenbetter when it finally happens.

Women: Offer to Pay, MenPlease Pay! "For a woman, offering topay is a nice thing to do' said Kybar-tas. "It makes you look humble andappreciative." As far as a guy paying, itis traditional and chivalrous. It makesa guy a gentleman. In other words,when he says, "Check, please," hope-fully, he means it.

In closing first dates can range fromdisaster to bliss. But ifyou hear any ofthese five things at the end of thenight, count on a second date:. When can I see you again?u What's your schedule like?u This isn't what I expected wasguing to happen tonight. I'm so glad we met. Maylkiss you?

ComEd estimated readinga surprise - and soon a

thing of the pastHelp Squad recently re-

ceived a request for assist-ance from a reader with aComEd billing issue. A seniorcitizen on a fixed income, thereader was very upset thatwithout notice her monthlyelectric charges had suddenlyjumped from around $100 towell over $200. She said thatnothing had changed at her home aside fromthe receipt ofwhat she deemed an outra-geously expensive electric bill.

In response to her call to ComEd Cus-tomer Service, a representative requested shego outside and read the dial on her electricmeter. As a result ofthis inspection, it wasdiscovered that ComEd's readings were offby approximately 400 kilowatt hours (kWh),and the reason for the discrepancy was thather electricity consumption had been esti-mated. Due to the considerable differencebetween the two numbers, ComEd promisedto send out a meter reader who, unfortu-nately, never arrived.

Following this customer's communicationwith Help Squad, her daughter contactedComEd and we were informed that the situa-lion had been resolved to their satisfaction.

Though taken care ofwithout our assist-ance, this request for help brought to light atopic that likely affects other Help Squadreaders. With this in mind, we contactedComEd to ask why someone might receive anestimated bill and ifthere was anything aconsumer could do to avoid it In response toour inquiry, Chuck Walls, vice president ofcustomer revenue assurance, and MikeMcMahan, vice president ofsmart meterimplementation, offered the following.

Chuck explained that for most ComEdcustomers (those who still have analog elec-fric meters), a meter reader visits their homeonce a month to take a reading. On thoseoccasions when weather, a locked gate or adog prevents an actual in-person reading,ComEd will bill using an estimated reading.This estimation is calculated by referencingthe previous month's usage and/or the previ-ous year's same-month bill.

If a customer receives an estimated billthat varies significantly from a meter's actualdisplayed kwh. he/she has a few optionsavailable to remedy the situation. A photo canbe taken ofthe meter dial and emailed toComEdMeterReadingsComEd.com theactual kwh number can be submitted via acustomer's online account at ComEd.com orthe reading can be reported by calling 1-800-334-7661. Chuck points out that billing is

CATHY CUNNINGHAMHelp Squad

eventually "trued-up" via areading by a ComEd meterreader. When the truing-upoccurs, however, customersshouldn't be surprised if theirbill shows a significant jumpor drop, as weather can varyfrom the months referencedfor the estimate.

Mike, who is responsiblefor the current roll-out offour million smartmeters to every ComEd customer by the endof2018, filled us in on how things will changeonce the utility's analog meters are replacedwith smart meters. Specific to the topic athand, there will no longer be a need for meterreaders or, subsequently, estimated readings.

Smart meters - one million ofwhich havealready been installed - are wireless devicesthat transmit to ComEd in real-time a homeor business' electricity usage. Smart metersnot only provide ComEd with consumers'power usage data, but consumers too willnow have access to their hourly, daily andmonthly consumption patterns via theironline accounts - all available beginning theday after smart meters are installed.

With the new technology, a customer cansign up to receive email or phone alerts ifhis/her electricity usage increases signifi-cantly. Dynamic pricing can be enabled aswell, offering lower priced electricity duringoff-peak hours. In fact, Mike pointed out thatwith the incorporation ofrenewable energysources such as wind and solar, there are nowactually times when the price ofelectricity isnegative!

Ifyou are interested in knowing whenyour town is scheduled for smart meter im-plementation, go to comed.com. Beginning90 days out until the date of installation,ComEd will alert customers via bill inserts,postcards, letters and phone calls of theirplanned meter replacement dates.

Need help?Areyou the victim offraudulent business

practices? Is someonejust exhibiting bad burl-ness behavior? Let Help Squad make the callforyou. Sendyour letters, your complaints,your injustices andyour story ideas to [email protected] and we will behappy to help you.

"One meal a day is asignificant portion of ourcalories," she said.

Even in calories alone,the difference is stark.

A more balanced mealwill fill you up more than apacked burrito, Weisen-berger said. That burritomight be 800 calories, or ajumbo burger could be600. But a balanced mealthat doesn't strand youwith hunger can be createdfor 400 or 500 calories -or even fewer.

"You're saving caloriesthat way;' she said. "Overtime, in six months, in ayeal you definitely aregoing to see a weight ef-fect, and you're going to behappier."

Leftovers for lunch arefine, she advised; just makesure it's a smaller, balancedversion of what you had fordinner.

"People think lunch issupposed to be skimpy, butif you eat enough and it'sbalanced, it's amazingwhat it can do," she said.

Weisenberger's recentlunches included blackbeans and rice - plainyogurt on top - with rawcarrots, cauliflower and agrapefruit.

and green beans, with aside of blackberries.

"I want to see somebodywith a protein-rich food, sothat could be turkey or fishor black beans or lentils orcottage cheese," she said.

Add in a fruit or a vege-table - preferably both,she said.

Stephanie Pedersen, anutritionist who createdthe High Impact Healthwebsite (highimpacthealth.com), said a gamechanger would be swap-ping out a sluish lunch,for example a deli sand-wich.

Instead, she suggests,swap in quinoa or beanhowls, or tossing together asalad with a bit of chicken,seafood or lentils.

"Having that steady dripof energy with vegetablesand protein, even a wholegrain, could really help that3:30 fatigue;' she said.

Pedersen said to think ofyour meal change notthrough a calorie lens butinstead about that slumpyou feel a few hours aftereating.

"Hence, the 3 p.m. choc-olate chip cookie craving,"she said.

Iflunch isn't yourtoughest meal, pick anoth-er - grilling chicken fordinner ahead oftime ortaking time for a substan-tial breakfast

"I call it the setup for theday," said Jim Karas, headofJim Karas PersonalTraining and "The Ulti-mate Diet Revolution"author. "Nobody is going tobenefit from eating a yo-gurt for breakfast. That'snot smart at all. That'sgoing to set you up to bestarving."

He said the true positiveoutcome can come whenchanging one meal altersyour mindset. After youswap out one each day,hopefully you feel better,leading to healthier deci-sions - taking the stairs orgrilling a batch of chickenfor a week's worth of heal-thy meals.

Report: Alcohol, coffeeaffect odds of liver cancerHealthDay

People who have threeor more alcoholic drinksper day could be raisingtheir odds for liver can-cer, according to a reportfrom a panel of experts.

But there was goodnews for java lovers: Thereport, from the WorldCancer Research FundInternational, found"strong evidence" thatdrinking coffee mightlower a person's odds forliver cancer.

In drawing togetherthe report, researcherstracked data on 8.2 mii-lion people who tookpart in 34 studies world-wide.

There were a total of24,500 liver cancer casesamong the participantsin the studies.

The objective was todetermine how diet,

weight and physicalactivity affect the risk ofliver cancer.

The studies weregathered and reviewedby a team at ImperialCollege London and thenindependently assessedby a panel of interna-tional experts.

Along with the in-creased risk associatedwith having three ormore alcoholic drinks aday, the investigators alsofound that being over-weight or obese booststhe chances of devel-oping liver cancer.

One other major glob-al culprit driving livercancer: foods contam-mated by aflatoxins.Aflatoxins are toxinsproduced by fungi, oftenresulting from the im-proper storage of food.These toxins are gener-ally found in foods from

Foods that may beaffected by aflatoxinsinclude cereals, spices,peanuts, pistachios,Brazil nuts, chili peppers,black pepper, dried fruitand figs, according to thereport.

The findings aboutcoffee and overweight/obesity are new. Thefindings about alcoholicdrinks and aflatoxinswere in a 2007 report.

Sunscreen, indooractivity contributeto widespread lack

BY LESLIE MANNSpecial to Tribune Newspapers

Tammi Leader Fuller, 55,is outdoors most of thetime, running her Malibu,Calif.-based sleepovercamps for grown-ups. Yet,she knows she does not getenough of D, the "sunshinevitamin," because it re-quires ultraviolet rays to beabsorbed.

"I'm always coveredwith sunscreen becauseI've had skin cancer' saidLeader Fuller. "So I'm inthe sun, but my D level wasway low. Now I take a10,000 lU supplement aday and eat vitamin Dftods, and my level is al-most normal?'

Vitamin D deficiency isnot unique to people incloudy, northern states,said Kim Larson, a regis-tered dietitian/nutritionistin Seattle and a spokes-woman for the Academy ofNutrition and Dietetics."lt's a byproduct of ourlifrstyle."

"We stay inside in theNorth to keep warm, or inthe air conditioning in theSouth to keep cool," Larsonsaid. "Instead of gvingoutside to play, we're in-side, on our computers.When we're out, we wearclothing or sunscreen toprotect us from cancer?'

Although the advent ofD-fortified milk in 1932eliminated widespreadrickets (soft bones) amongchildren, milk is no longer adiet staple. Gone are the"Ozzie and Harriet" dayswhen almost every mealincluded milk.

About 42 percent ofadults are D deficient,according to the most re-cent National Health &Nutrition ExaminationSurvey. The percentagevaries by race: Blacks havethe highest, 82 percent

Most people she tests inSeattle lack enough vitamin

"You could lie outside naked in thesnow and not get enough sun."- Peter Horvath, associate professor of exercise andnutrition sciences

D, Larson said, and it isespecially prevalent amongteens. "They complain ofbeing sore and tired. andyou think it's because oftheir busy sports sched-ules," she said. "But theyaren't getting enough D?'

Halfofthe 60 adults inhis 2014 study did not haveenough D, said Peter Hor-vath, associate professor ofexercise and nutritionsciences at the UniversityofBuffalo in New York."You might not see theeffects for years, though,"he warned.

D is the closest thing to amagic bullet in the vitaminworld, affecting our health

from every angle. It main-tains our calcium and phos-phorous levels, which inturn strengthen our im-mune system, keep ussharp and help preventheart disease, high bloodpressure, Type 2 diabetesand many types of cancer.D helps prevent osteoporo-sis (weak bones) and osteo-malacia (bone pain).

Doctors prescribe highD levels for the treatmentof a range of ailments, fromautoimmune disorders tomultiple sclerosis.

Getting the right combi-nation offood and sunlight,though, is complicated.

Dark-skinned people are

at greater risk for D defi-ciency because their skinshields them from sunlightOlder people's skin is lessable to process sunlight.Being overweight means Dis jailed by your fat tissuesinstead ofused efficiently.

Many common medica-tions, including diureticsand anti-seizure drugs,counteract vitamin D.

Ask your doctor to giveyou a vitamin D test, whichmay not be part of an annu-al exam, Larson said.

Then a dietitian canprescribe a custom combi-nation offoods and supple-ments.

For Gail Rubin, 56, ofAlbuquerque, N.M., forexample, a 2,000 lU (inter-national units) supplementofD keeps her on track.She's a breast cancer suivi-vor, has osteoporosis in hergenes, eats D-rich foodsbut avoids the sun - all ofwhich affect her D intake.

Rubin and Leader Fullersaid they read food labelsbecause scouting vitamin Din the grocery store istricky. Outside ofcod liveroil and some fish, few foodsmeet the daily requisite of600 lUs for people ages i to70, and 800 for ages 71-plus, as recommended bythe Institute of Medicine ofthe National Academies.

"Fortified" cereals varyfrom 10 percent of therecommended level ofD inRaisin Bran to 25 percent inTotal. The cup of2 percentmilk you add to your cerealgives you only 25 percent.

Horvath favors D-richsun-dried mushrooms."Either eat mushrooms,which you can dry yourselfin your backyard, or addthe powdered form whenyou cook something like anomelet," he said.

Scan grocery purchasesfor the "USP" stamp or theconsumerlab.com ti-ian-

gular logo, Larson said.They tell you those goodshave been checked byindependent labs.

Ideally, also get somemidday sunlight, sans sun-screen, although expertsconcede this is not a realityfor many of us.

During the winter, theEarth's tilt away from thesun reduces your exposure."Then, you could lie out-side naked in the snow andnot get enough sun becauseofthe sun's angle," Horvathsaid.

In the next decade, we'llsee a "burst of researchabout vitamin D," Larsonsaid. "We're learning moreabout the effects ofD onautoimmune diseases,cancer and heart disease.especially?'

This will underscore theimportance ofD, Horvathsaid, the vitamin we mustchase "despite our immo-bile, indoor lifestyles?'

.1.Green with possibilities

Call it what you like,salsa verde can be one ofthe most versatile andlovely sauces in any cook'srepertoire.

It's easy, as you justthrow a bunch of greenstuff in a food processor(or a blender, or a mortarand pestle). It's seasonallyadjustable; the green stuffcan be whatever you findat the farmers market - orlanguishing in your refrig-erator. And you can tailor itto what you feel like cook-ing. Historically, salsaverde has been manythings to many people. Ingeneral, it's defined as asauce of herbs, some sortof acid (vinegar, citrus),olive oil (or mayonnaise)and perhaps dai ry You canadd anchovies and capersor make it with or withouttomatillos, garlic, onionsand, of course, chilies. Inthe Middle East or Africa,you might throw carda-mom, caraway and chiliesin with your parsley andcilantro and call it zhoug.In Germany, you might addeggs and serve the stuffwith schnitzel.

Goethe apparently put iton everything, or at leasthis mother said he did.

If parsley or cilantro isyour base line, add or sub-stitute a handful of mint orbasil or chervil. Instead of

spinach, use a bunch ofarugula or even, yes, rawkale. (Just make sure thatthe greens you use arefresh and tender, and thatyou've pulled off any thickstems.) Maybe (please)think of it as an alternativeto juicing. You can also getmore creative and throwsome fresh kaffir limeleaves into the blender orexperiment with the spec-trum ofyour favorite chil-ies (ifnot a slice ofjalape-no, then a few serranos orFresno chilies). When youadd citrus (use a splash ofcider vinegar if you'rebereft offresh lemons orlimes), the zest adds an-other level offlavor thatyou can move up or downdepending on your fond-ness for, well, flavor.

And then there are allthe spices in your cabinetthat can torque up thesauce even further. Throwin some ground Sichuanpeppercorns, or add someminced fresh ginger.

As for what exactly todo with a Mason jar of thisstuff when you're done,think of it as a dippingsauce, a condiment - asalad in a cup. Not unlikegremolata or pistou, it'sgood spooned onto grilledmeat, fish and chicken, orinto soups. Stir plenty of itinto a big bowl of brown

Just keep your new jarof salsa verde in the re-frigerator and not in yourcar - as many of us dowith hot sauce - since itscharm, and much of itsflavor, is contingent uponfreshness. It's green, afterall, for a reason.

A few notes: French-cutbeans are time-consumingto prepare, so we're optingfor frozen. Herbes deProvence is a lovely driedherb blend that no pantryshould be without - it'swonderful on vegetables,in salad dressings, ongrilled meats. Ifyou can,buy a blend that includeslavender, which adds adistinctive flavor andaroma We used brie be-cause it melts nicely, andwe chose an inexpensive,prepacked variety. We'reeven including snails -not the real-deal escargotbut lumache pasta (loo-MAH-shay, aka "snails " inItalian).

Botmic Garden kicks off spring with home showBY J WEDDLELake County News-Sun

One sure sign ofspring is the arrival ofthe Chica Botanic Garden's Antiques,Garden and Design show. This year featuresa new name (the show was previousiyknown as the Antiques and Garden Fair)and some first-time vendors.

'We felt that after 14 years it was time tobreathe some new life into it so we lookedat what the show included and decided tostrive for quality versus quantity" said JodiZombolo, senior director ofpublic pro-grams.

This is the first time that the show isbeing produced strictly in house without ashow company and every exhibitor wasrequired to fill out an application to beconsidered for the show. The 90 vendorswho were accepted into the show had to gothrough a stage setup and were chosenbased on how well they performed in theirspecific area.

The Antiques, Garden and Design showis fully indoors and two tents were requiredto add to the building so that everyonecould be accommodated. The EsplanadeTent will contain five gardens reflecting theantique and mid-century modem aspect ofthe show. The Rose Tent will serve as thegardener's tent gardening tools will be setup as "floral" decoration in the entry andeast garden. This effect will give guests thefeeling they are viewing the workings of agarden. The North Steps will feature adramatic hanging sphere garden, andNicholas Hall will feature towering palmtrees and white orchids in the center of theroom. Burnstein Hall will have a topiarygarden inside, which is made from theChicagn Botanic Garden's Femleigh topiarycollection.

Visitors will be able to buy everythingfrom potted succulents and outdoor fumi-ture to fine art and vintage design items.

"Each exhibitor sells their own items.They have it all set up so you cari experi-ence how it would look in your garden orhanging up on your wall," Zombolo said.

The show has two honorary guest speak-ers for the weekend - Mario Buatta andMac Griswold. Design legend Buatta is thehonorary chair. He is also known as "ThePrince of Chintz" and has designed forclients like Henry Ford II, Barbara Walters,Malcolm Forbes and Mariah Carey. Hisnew book, "Mario Buatta Fifty Years ofAmerican Interior Decoration," chronicleshis ability to bring the English countryhouse style stateside through his career.Buatta will speak at 11 a.m. April 17 in Als-dorf Auditorium in a lecture entitled, "IfYou Can't Hide It, Decorate It"

The Music Institute ofChicago has found an in-novative way to spread theword about its program-ming and to showcase itsstudents. They are staging afree Community MusicFestival, April 17-May 3, atlocations throughout theChicago area, from commu-nity centers to libraries,senior centers and othervenues. The event is subti-tled: 100 Concerts in Six-teen Days!

Music Institute Presidentand CEO Mark Georgerevealed that the scope ofthe program has grownbeyond the original 100-concert plan. "We're up toalmost 125," he revealed,jokingly adding, "But itdoesn't sound as good as100 concerts in sixteendays."

George explained thatthe Music Institute took onthis huge endeavor because,"Throughout my career,Imore and more, I have seenImusic as something that can

a community service. Wehave so many hundreds of

students who really lovewhat they do but I want toteach them that their musichas great value beyond theirpersonal reward and theirown personal accomplish-ment Playing for people -making a connection withpeople - is probably themost valuable thing they'llever do."

Performances includelocations in Deerfield, Ev-anston, Glenview, HighlandPark, Lake Forest LongGrove Northbrook, SkokieWu1mette Wmnetka anddozens of Chicago spots.The concerts will rangefrom 30-90 minutes andfeature everything fromsoloists to chamber music.

There will also be a per-formance by the MusicInstitute's 40-memberCommunity Symphony,under conductor LawrenceEckerling. it is scheduled toperform a joint concert withthe New Horizons Band,10:30 am. May i at theCrystal Ballroom & Loungein Evanston.

"We'll be doing music byBrahms, the 'Tragic Over-ture' and Robert Schu-mann's. 'Overture, Scherzo

and Finale,' which is like aminiature symphony exceptwithout a slow movement,'Eckerling Said. "And thenwe're going to close off ourportion ofthe program withJohann Strauss' 'Voices ofthe Spring?"

Eckerling praised theCommunity Music Festivalfor "bringing the music tothe people instead of mak-ing people come to themusic. It's everywhere -and music ought to be ev-erywhere?'

Fifteen-year-old EllieKim ofNorthbrook is in hereighth year ofstudying theviolim Ehe has studied atthe Music Institute withSang Mee Lee since she was10. She enjoys playing theviolin because ofthe "soundrange?'

Ehe wasn't sure whenshe would be performingbut she knew that shewould be playing two piec-es. She plans to prepare forher performance at theMIC Community MusicFestival by practicing "untilmy fingers bleed?'

EXHIB

With Capt James Lovell's help, new exhibit tellsthe human side of the space race, Apollo 13 and all

BY STEVE JOHNSONChicago Tribune

It is, perhaps, too easy to forgetabout the moon program and itsdecade-plus ofsacrifices andsuccesses. These days, privatecompanies are providing spaceservices, and the exploration talkis of Mars.

The moon? Been there,stepped on that - and almost 50years ago now.

But a new exhibition openingSaturday at the Adler Planetari-um succeeds in making the questto get to the moon once againfresh, even visceral.

"Mission Moon" reimaginesthe space museum's main-floorexhibition that also coveredNASA's first manned forays be-yond Earth's atmosphere, but itdoes so with a more modemlook, many more interactivefeatures and with a concertedemphasis on the emotional sideof the story

"We tried to tell more of thestory ofthe people," said SarahCole, vice president of visitorexperience, who guided thein-house team that made "Mis-sion Moon."

Now there's a full wall portraitofthe three astronauts - GusGrissom, Edward White andRoger Chaffee - who died intheir capsule when fire broke outduring a launch pad test in Feb-ruai-y 1967. Alongside the photoof them in spacesuits is Gris-som's quotation about astronautsneeding to be ready to die for themission.

But the astronaut who is thecornerstone of the exhibit, asbefore, is Capt. James Lovell,now 87 and living in Lake Forest.Lovell is an Adler board memberwho went into space four timesand flew to the moon twice with-out touching the lunar surface,most famously on the nearlydoomed Apollo 13 mission.

The general admission exhibittells the story of NASA's lunarefforts through Lovell's eyes,from a replica of the boyhood

Moonstruck at the Adlerdesk at which he hatched thedream ofbeing an astronaut toLife magazine photographs of hisfamily watching anxiously as thespace agency struggled to try tosave the Apollo 13 crew.

A photo from that episode, aclose-up ofthe Lovell's then-4-year-old son Jefflistening to the"squawk box" that fed unfilteredMission Control conversationsinto the family living room, is aspowerful as the picture of thedoomed Apollo 1 astronauts.Adjacent to the picture ofthe boyis a replica ofthe squawk boxdelivering authentic audio.

Although he and his wife,Marilyn, were consulted heavilyin the exhibition makeover, Lov-eU saw the finished product forthe first time Thursday, at a pre-view. He delivered inside in-formation about the artifacts,many ofthem from his personalcollection, while also registeringdelight at their new settings.

"Oh!" he exclaimed, roundinga corner to see the viewing plat-form now built up around hisGemini 12 space capsule. "Thebig problem before was we gotthe Gemini 12, but it was on thefloor," he said, so childrencouldn't easily see into it.

Now visitors are only a clearpanel away from stepping intothe metallic flying cone that wasthe last one before the Apolloprogram.

Lovell also shared a personaldetail about the failed Apollo 13mission, which was to have beenthe veteran astronaut's chance tobe on the moon.

"Even though I was frustratedfor years that I did not land onthe moon, I'm kind ofglad now,"he said.

IfApollo 13 succeeded, itwould have been simply one ofseven moon landings. But theway it played out, Lovell said,there's a dramatic rescue, a book,the Ron Howard movie andmission commander Lovell'sfamous quote, reprinted here ona wall: "Houston, we've had aprobleim"

ONESMALLSTEPço*A MAN-.

MICHAEL TERCHA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE PHOTOS

Capt. James Lovell visits the new Adler Planetarium exhibit Thursday that he and his wife helped design.

This NASA helmet and gloves from Lovell's collection are part of theAdler exhibit. They were worn during his famous Apollo 13 mission.

"Mission Moon" visitors canhear those rescue conversations.In another area, a simulatedMission Control console, theycan punch up audio from othermissions.

The exhibit is a reminder ofthe moon program's breakneckspeed. President John F. Ken-nedy made a moon visit a na-tional priority in 1961, and Arm-strong's "giant leap for mankind"came in July 1969. There were 10

manned Gemini missions in 1965and 1966, even before the Apolloprogram began.

But it was Marilyn Lovell'stwo hours with Adler's exhibitdesigners that steered them awayfrom doing a more straight-forward "space race" story theysaid.

"She's like, 'That's been done,guys: " said Annie Vedder, one ofthe exhibit developers.

So visitors to this show learn,

'Mission Moon'When: Opens Saturday

Where: Adler Planetarium, 1300S. Lake Shore Drive

Tickets: Included in $12 generaladmission; 312-922-7827 oradlerplanetarium.org

for instance, that while he wasorbiting the moon on ChristmasEve 1968, Lovell had arranged fora fur coat to be delivered to hiswife, signed, "With love from theMan on the Moon."

And they get answers to one ofthe most asked questions aboutspace travel. Liquid waste matterwas piped outside the spacecraft,expelled into the void. The otherrested behind the pilots in adevice like the one on exhibitmarked "Fecal Collection Bag."That's how personal "MissionMoon" gets.

MOVIES

Kow playing"Cinderella" ***PG, 1:45, family. Refreshingly free of all snark, the satis-fying new live-action "Cinderella" from the princessmanufacturing company known as Disney is a sincere,openhearted rendering of the familiar fairy tale."Downton Abbey" star Lily James was a first-ratechoice for this "Cinderella' as was screenwriter ChrisWeitz. - Michael Phi/llps

"Get Hard" *R, 1:40, comedy. Will Ferrell plays James King, a stuffyhedge-fund wizard with a duplicitous gold digger (AlisanBrie) for a fiancee and a lifetime of unexamined preju-dices and privileges about to catch up with his sorry self.Framed and arrested for fraud and embezzlement, Kinghires carwash manager Darnell (Kevin Hart), whom hemistakes for a hardened ex-con, to school him in prisonsurvival and sexual assault prevention in a 30-day run-up

to San Quentin. Is the movie homophobic and racist? I'd say sort of and sort of. Gay-panichumor isn't quite the same thing as homophobia, but it's close enough to be tiresome. -M.P

"Home" ***PG, 1:36, family. The cuddliest alien invasion movie ever,"Home" contains nifty turns of phrase and some actual,verifiable verbal wit, owing in large part to its sourcematerial, Adam Rex's 2007 children's book "The TrueMeaning of Smekday' In the grand Hollywood tradition,DreamWorks Animation threw out most of that book(and the film's original title, "Happy Smekday!") afteroptioning the property seven years ago. Even though

screenwriters Torni. Astle and Matt Ember over-pack the revised storyline, they get somecrucial aspects right. - MP

"Insurgent" ** 1/2PG-13, 1:59, actIon. Chicago has never looked less toddlln'than it does in "Insurgent:' the second of four plannedmovies to be pulled, taffylike, out of the hugely popularVeronica Roth trilogy. Director Robert Schwentke, whohas made sorne entertaining hokurn ("Flightplan") andsome duds ("R.l.P.D'), proves simpatico with the in-creased levels of on-screen violence in this second in-stallment of the "Divergent" series. The actors (Shailene

Woodley, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort and Kate Winslet) are more or less saving this franchise'sbacon, "Insurgent" is a tick or two livelier than the first one. - M.P

"It Follows" ** 1/2R, 1:40, horror. "It Follows" imagines a curse representedby a shape-shifting apparition that might be as ordinary-looking as the boy next door. The curse is transmittableonly by intercourse, and the infected rid themselves ofthe deadly phantom by hooking up with someone else.Photographed in supple tones by Michael Gioulakis,writer-director David Robert Mitchell's film favors slowzooms and pullbacks. Still, you keep waiting for the story

to takeoff and really rattle your sense of comfort. "It Follows" may have too much tact forthis genre, and I wonder if it would've been more frightening had Mitchell confined thephantoms to the audience's imagination. As Is, the conventional scare sequences aredutiful at best. - M.P

B E G \ S This deliciously charmingromance is full of wit, passion-

SAT U R DAY and now, glorious song.

Grading the GermansBY DAVID KILEYSpecial to Tribune Newspapers

The Germans, especiallyBMW have long tried tolead in technical innovationwhen it comes to con-nected driving and info-tainment. And their ap-proach is similar - puttinga mouselike controller inthe center console, in addi-tion to steering wheel con-trols, all of which back upor supplement voice-com-mand controls.

Detroit companies andmost of the Asian brands(except for Mazda) don'tfavor the console-mountedcontroller, preferring in-stead touch screens anddash-mounted controllers.

Determining whichapproach you are mostcomfortable with is key tomaking a buying decision. Ilike the mouselike control-ler best. But others feelquite differently.

4. Vo1kswagnHow It works: VW is

playing catch-up when itcomes to telematics andinfotainment. VVJ offers itsCar-Net app for both AppleiOS and Android smart-phones. The app does bas-ics like locking and un-locking the car remotely,finding your car for lawenforcement if it is stolen,connecting you to an emer-gency attendant in an acci-dent, and calling a conci-erge. Navigation and othercontrols flow to a 5.7-inchscreen on the dash.

Voice commands: VW'sBluetooth voice commandworked fine. Other systemsare more advanced. It'sadequate to keep your eyesoff the phone.

Navigation: The naviga-tion system works in a verystraightforward way. Noreal bells and whistles here.A multistep manual way ofentering an address on thetouch screen works fine, asdid the voice recognition.

wagen loses points forphoning in its telematicscapability. But its newsystem, MirrorLink, whichwill integrate smartphoneapps and offer Apple'sCarPlay and Google's An-droid Auto, should put VWon the map with connecteddrivers. Stay tuned.

3. Audi MMI!Audi Connect

How It works: Audi'sMMI system deliversphone service, navigation

and Bluetooth integrationwith your smartphone. Ituses a dial in the centerconsole, with a cluster offour buttons and two toleswitches. There are con-trols on the steering wheel,and the functions are de-signed to work with hands-free voice command.

With the navigationpackage, you get a 7-inchmotorized screen that risesfrom the dash when the caris turned on. With a nay, thescreen is 5.3 inches wide.

A cool feature is that if

i G 21

the voice command is let-ting you down, you can"write" a phone number oran address on the surface ofthe console dial (like sign-ing a credit card screenwith your finger). To makethe system work fully, youhave to have a subscriptionwith a wireless carrier.

Voice commands: Aswith any system today,Audi's MMI has voicecommands for navigationand hands-free calling.Traffic info helps choosethe optimal route.

Navigation: The naysystem works very well,including with the voicecommand. But Audi has anadded feature that is verycool. Google Street Views isintegrated into the system,so you also get a picture ofwhere you are going.

Final Grade: A-. Most ofwhat Audi offers is won-derful and unique, but I'drather be able to access myiTunes library by voicecommand than have myTwitter feed read to me bya robotic voice. Egads!

2. Mercedes-BenzHow It works: Merce-

des-Benz's mbrace systemis accessed via the car,phone or desktop comput-er. A console-mountedcontroller wheel lets youskate through the apps andfeatures on the 5.8-inchdashboard screen (8-inchscreen in some models).The redundant steering-wheel controls will per-form most ofthe functionsofthe controller wheel.

The new system also has

BMW, Mercedesfeature the bestin-car technology

a finger controller pad, so Ican write with my finger toget to, for instance, VanMorrison in my iTuneslibrary by writing "Van."

Voice commands: Corn-mand allows you to runthrough a test sequence toget the system accustomedto your voice. And you canadjust the speed in whichthe system speaks to you.

Navigation: The naysystem is crisp with greatgraphics. And you canzoom in and out either byturning the wheel or"pinching" the finger-controller, as with a smart-phone.

Final Grade:A. The newCommand system is deepwith capabilities. It's just ahair or two behind BMW'siDrive.

L BMW iDrive/ConnectedDrive

How it works: BMW setthe industry on fire in 2001when it introduced theiDrive system in a new7 Series. It was glitchy anddrew many complaints.

Today, the iDrive system,the heart ofwhich is theconsole controller, andsuite ofservices calledBMW ConnectedDriveshould be considered thebest in the industry.

The iDrive allows one-handed control offre-quently used functions likeradio and navigation.

Voice commands: Ofthe cars we have tested,BMW gave us the leastgriefwith voice command.Navigation destinations andhands-free calling of con-tacts was smooth and easy,the way it is meant to be.

Navigation: BMW'svoice command navigationworked literally without aglitch, the only system wehave tested so far that canboast that, and it was easyto work with even when Iwas setting the destinationby hand.

Six pointsto check ina test driveBY JIL MCINTOSHSpecial to Tribune Newspapers

Entrance and exit. Seehow easy it is to gt in andout. Women who dress forwork should wear workclothes on a test drive, espe-cially with a larger SUV. Ifit's a long step up in jeansand flat shoes, it'll be tough-erina skirt and heels

Seat fit. To asses the seat-ing position, put your wriston top of the steering wheelwith a slight bend in yourelbow. Your shoulder bladesshould touch the seatback,and you should be able topush all the pedals to thefloor. You should also be atleast 10 inches away fromthe steeringwheel for air-bag safety. The proper posi-tion may require a telescop-ic steering wheel, which notall vehicles have, or a pow-er-adjustable seat

Passenger fit. Checkrear-seat legroom and head-room. Tight quarters arefine for small children, butare yours tting close totheir teen growth spurts? Besure you can reach to buckletheir seat belts, and if pos-sible, bring your child's seatand see how it fits. If you'll

be driving elderly parents,they may require wider-opening doors or tall rearseats for easy access.

Storage. Open the trunk orcargo hatch and see howhigh you have to lift itemsover the bumper. If the rearseats fold, see if it's easy todo. Some cars require you tofirst remove the rear headrestraints or flip the cush-ions.

Drive. Test-drive for at leasta half an hour, including onthe highway; where you'llcheck if there's enoughpower to merge and pass.Turn off the stereo andlisten for a bumpy; noisyride or growly engine. Parkthe vehicle, both nose-inand tail-in: If the turningcircle's too wide, it'll bedifficult And if it's abigtruck or SU1 measure yourgarage to be sure it'll fit.Don't laugh: It happens!

Dislikes. Above all, don'tjust look for things you like.It's far more important tolook for things you don't,and see if you can live withthem. Something that irri-tates you now won't im-prove over the years. Spendthe extra time to evaluate it.

Nissan's 2015 Murano sports a more aggressive look, as well as a few tasteful touches.

Comfort, with a little edgeBY DAVIDUNDERCOFFLERTribune Newspapers

The all-new 2015 Nis-san Murano is a five-pas-senger crossover startingat $30,445, targeting most-ly empty-nesters lookingfor a near-luxury hauler.Families with a tangle ofkids and sippy cups will bebetter served by Nissan'slarger three-row Pathfind-er or compact Rogue.

Ford and Toyota take asimilar two-pronged kids/no kids approach to theircrossovers. And Nissansays many Murano buyersalso consider the brisk-selling Lexus RX350(a claim Nissan hopes willpolish the Murano's luxu-¿y pedigree).

For good or ill, the Mu-rano's styling sets it apartfrom any competitor.

Its face is awash inshapes and angles, withtriangular headlights thatsplit as they sweep up thefenders. Behind the reardoors, the roofline dips tonearly touch a peak in thequarter paneL At the rear,taillights resembling lob-ster claws reach aroundthe corners.

2015 NISSANMURANO

- Four-door midsizecrossover SUV

Base price:

$30,445Price as tested: $43,745

MPG: 21 city; 28 highwayPowertraln: 3.5-Hter

direct-injected V-6 engine,all-wheel drive

Transmission: Continu-ously variable automatic

Parting shot: Nissanbrings bold style to

near-luxury crossovers

Overall, the 2015 editionlooks more aggressive andedgy While it may not ageas well as something moresedate, it represents wel-come risk-taking in anindustry in which manyautomakers stamp outforgettable designs for fearof alienating buyers.

Inside, things are moretraditional. Nissan cleanedup the clutter by cutting

the number of buttonsfrom 25 to 10. Wood andmetal trim add a premiumfeel. While the materialsand construction don'tquite match the Lexus, theMurano's quiet and corn-fort are above the standardfor most Nissan products.

The rear seats pick up2.5 inches oflegroom. Thecargo area grows by 8cubic feet over the previ-oua model.

We tested a loadedPlatinum AWD model thatweighed in at $43,745 withheated and cooled leatherseats, an intuitive touch-screen navigation system,20-inch alloy wheels,panoramic moon roof,radar cruise control, pre-collision braking and360-degree parking cam-era.

Similar gear in the Lex-us will run about $8,000more, though Ford's up-coming Edge offers asimilar value to the Nissan.

The fundamentals forthe Murano remain un-changed for 2015. It stillrides on a front-wheel-drive platform shared withthe Altima and Maximasedans, while all-wheeldrive is optional.

A silky 260-horsepowerV-6 is still matched with acontinuously variableautomatic transmission.Nissan has been using theCVT in its vehicles longerthan most automakers, butit's also had more troublebuilding one that feels likea conventional automatic.

This revised versionbenefits mightily fromsome key hardware andsoftware updates. It finallyworks like a CVT should,keeping plenty of poweron tap without making theengine drone loudly.

The V-6 is plenty strong,especially since Nissan cutabout 138 pounds off theolder Murano by usingmore high-strength steel.

The only complaints arenumb steering, and dash-board buttons that coulduse more backlighting.

But Nissan got this oneright - and it needed to.The midsize SUV segmentcould grow substantially inthe next few years.

with bold styling, heapsofcomfort and newfoundefficiency, the 2015 Mura-no will be tough to beat.

Nues West grad Loyd leavesNotre Dame, enters WNBA draftBY Ai LEsSouth Bend Tribune

Didn't see that comin', did ya?Hours after Notre Dame women's

basketball junior guard Jewell Loyd saidhow the 63-53 national championship lossto Connecticut on April 7 would be"motivation for us for next year," the NuesWest graduate took a pass on next year.

Around 9:30 p.m. on April 8, Loydannounced she would make herself eligi-ble for Thursday's WNBA draft.

Loyd's only comment in the university-issued release was brief.

"I am incredibly grateful for my experi-ence at Notre Dame and the support I havereceived from Coach (Muffet) McGraw,our staff my teammates and the entire NDcommunity," she said. "I have grown as awoman and as a basketball player and I am

SPORTS

JOHN RAOUX/AP

Notre Dame's Jewell Loyd, left, answers a question as coach Muffet McGraw listens during a news conference at the NCAA Women's Final Four on April 6 in Tampa, Florida. Two dayslater, the Nues West graduate announced she was entering the WNBA draft.

SURPRISE EXITso thankful to have had the opportunity tobe a part ofsuch an inspiring community"

Loyd was headed to Los Angeles onApril 9 for the Wooden Award banquet.She finished second to Connecticut'sBreanna Stewart. A Notre Dame spokes-man said Loyd was unable to respond tointerview requests due to being in transitto the West Coast.

That means everyone outside the innersanctum of the Irish program is left tospeculate about why she would opt to leavea team that seemed poised for a serious runat the national title in 2016.

If there were cracks or fissures withinthe group of 13 Notre Dame athletes, theyweren't visible to those allowed inside theropes on occasion. Whether it's the com-pany line or a true indication of feelings,freshman Brianna Turner's comment onApril 7 - "I had to come out and play hardfor my teammates" - was the mantra thatcame from all in the locker room.

Leaving a year of college eligibility on

the table for an opportunity in the WNBAhardly comes with the promise ofa paydayearly departures for the NBA will earn.

Odds are Loyd will end up with theSeattle Storm. Seattle owns the first andthe third picks in the draft. Tulsa, alreadystocked at guard with Skylar Diggins andOdyssey Sims, has the second selection.

Even a top pick won't be consideredrich. The total salary cap for the WNBAroster of 15 players is around $878,000.The best players in the league, veteranswith about four years of experience, makejust over $100,000. Rookies have a mini-mum salary of about $38,000, while theaverage player salary in the league is$72,000.

Knowing what is known now, it'sinteresting to look back on Loyd's recentgames to see if the gravity of her impendingdecision impacted her performance. A 45percent shooter for the season, Loyd wasnever better than 38 percent in her last fiveNCAA Tournament games. She was 3-0f-15

against DePaul, 5-of-18 against Baylor and4-0f-18 against Connecticut.

Coincidence?Granted, every defense is designed to

shut her down.Smooth and technically sound through-

out her career, Loyd seemed to force theoffensive issue recently. Bad shots. Ill-fated, out of control bull-rushes to thebasket that rarely ended well.

That doesn't change who Loyd is.During her three years in the public eye atNotre Dame, she has always been arespectful, uber-competitive spitfire who,more often than not, found a way to deliver.

She finished second in the AP Player ofthe Year voting behind Stewart andaveraged 20 points a game this season. Shescored 772 points this season, leaving herfour behind the school record set for oneyear. She was a first-team AP All-Americanand two-time Atlantic Coast Conferenceplayer ofthe year.

NORRIDGE - At firstglance, senior Maya Cabal-lero doesn't seem to beNues West's most danger-ous home run threat.

She's 5-foot-3, after all,and a pitcher who couldrecall hitting only twohome runs a year ago.

However, Caballeroproved during the Wolves'first five games of the sea-son that her stature isdeceiving. She hit threehome runs during thatstretch, including a two-run shot in the first inningof Niles West's 7-4 loss toRidgewood on Friday.

After the game, evenCaballero said she was sur-prised by her early-seasonpower surge.

"I expected myself to hit

more than I did last year,but ... I'm just shocked it'sbeen that many," she said.

The explanation as towhy Caballero has beenable to drive the ball soeffectively thus far is multi-faceted.

For one, she trained withthe Vernon Hills Stingers inthe weeks and months be-fore her senior season. Thesoftball club held practicesindoors during the winter,and they worked on hitting,fielding and other aspectsof the game. Caballero saidthose sessions have helpedher timing at the plate thisspring.

She also has several attri-butes shared by manyhome run hitters.

"She's got fast hands,"Niles West coach NicoleReynolds said of her team'scleanup hitter. "She's got a

good, solid swing. ... She'spretty strong and she's apitcher, so her right arm ispretty solid."

Another reason for Ca-ballero's early-season suc-cess has been her approachduring her at-bats. Shehasn't been swinging forthe fences, she said.

Instead, her goal hasbeen to just make contact.That's been especially truein full counts, like the oneshe found herself in duringthe first inning againstRidgewood.

Caballero was down toher last strike, then poppedup a fly ball into foulterritory. Ridgewood's firstbaseman ran in to catch it,but the howling wind blewthe ball away from her andallowed Caballero to haveanother chance.

The very next pitch from

the Rebels' pitcher was upin the zone and Caballerocrushed it. Her line driverocketed over Ridgewood'scenter fielder, then over thefence that's 200 feet awayfrom home plate.

That home run was simi-lar to her first, which shehit in Niles West's 11-1 winover Von Steuben onMarch 18. It was also a linedrive that sailed over thefence in a hurry on a 3-2pitch.

"I just want to makecontact," Caballero said ofher mind-set when thecount is full. "And if I seethat ball right down themiddle, it just flies."

SCHAUMBURG - Through-out the 14-6 loss to the Schaum-burg girls water polo team, MaineEast junior goalie Annie Turbakmade several spectacular saves.

The two most impressive onFriday came within seconds ofone another and happened withless than one minute remaining inthe first half.

First, she stopped a shot bydiving to her right, reaching outher right hand near the rightcorner of the net to knock the ballback into play. The Saxons recov-ered the rebound and took anoth-er shot from about one foot away,but Turbak punched it out again.

She wasn't so lucky the thirdtime, and Schaumburg went into

half ahead 8-4.The series showed how good

Turbak is and how she can getbetter.

"It's difficult to make stops onconsecutive shots because youhave to keep re-positioning your-self," said Maine East coach KaraBosman, who's in her first seasonwith the Blue Demons. "Thatcomes with a lot of practice, andshe's still a young player:'

Although Turbak is a junior,this is only her second seasonplaying water poio and first onvarsity. After playing goalie on theJV team as a freshman, shedecided to play softball lastspring.

"I wanted to switch it up anddo something different," she said.

Turbak said she made up hermind to play water polo again

Maine East's Turbak makes several big saves in lossabout two weeks before the sea-son started.

"I kind ofwaited until the lastminute, but I'm glad I did," shesaid.

While volleyball is Turbak'sprimary sport, Bosman is high onher goalie's potential as a waterpolo player. Bosman regularlyworks with Turbak during prac-tice. Her biest goal this seasonis to improve Turbak's reactiontime and instincts. That's done by"whipping" balls at Turbak, Bos-man said. Turbak said Bosmanoften will substitute tennis ballsand ice cubes for water polo balls.

"Those kill me a little bit,"Turbak said about the rapid-fireshooting sessions. "But she's try-ing to build up my endurance. It'sa slow process, but I can tell it'shelping me."

Turbak finished with 16 saveson Friday, a number that pleasedBosman, who said she alwayslikes to see her goalies have moresaves than goals allowed. Bosmansaid she wasn't thrilled thatSchaumburg was able to take somany shots, though. Maine East,which dropped to 3-6 with theloss, entered the game surrender-ing 8.6 goals per game.

But Bosinan said the Saxonswere the first team the BlueDemons played that took long-range shots. Schaumburg's firsttwo goals came courtesy of longlobs from the perimeter.

"Those are super difficult toblock," Bosman said. "It's some-thing we haven't even practicedbecause we don't have lobbers onour team."

Bosman said she looks forward

CHICAGO - Nues North thirdbaseman Phil Kiafta's third homerun of the season was also a careerfirst - a grand slam.

In the bottom of the first inningagainst Von Steuben, Kiafta. ajunior, smacked a ball that carried15 feet over the fence for anestimated 365 feet to give theVikings a five-run lead.

"I didn't know right away [it wasgone]. I didn't think of it at all,"Kiafta said. "That's why I sprintedaround the bases. I didn't realize Ihit a home run until I gt to homeplate and I looked over [to myteammates, who were] saying, 'Itwent over!'"

Nues North dominated VonSteuben on Saturday in a 15-O,five-inning route at NortheasternIllinois University The Vikingsscored all 15 runs in the first twoinnings of the nonconferencegume.

Klafta said the Vikings' goalbefore this season was 20 wins, butNiles North improved to 11-2 onSaturday.

"Over the last couple of weeks,we've started to hit the hail reallywell and it's carried over:' saidNiles North coach Ed Toledo,adding, "Right now, we've hadeverybody contribute There isn'tjust one guy.

'Phil's been an important part ofour season, but our starters havebeen consistent in their level ofplay. That's been the best part ofour season right now?'

Von Steuben, which dropped to0-6 with the loss, also committedcostly errors during the course ofthe game, such as dropping routinefly bails in center field. Nues Northtook advantage of Von Steuben'ssix errors and finished with 10 hits.

Wendel makes most of opportunity thrives at third baseBY Eiuc VAN DRILPioneer Press

NORTHBROOK - Junior Da-vid Wendel is listed on the NotreDame baseball team's roster as asecond baseman and shortstop.He's also capable of playing thirdbase.

Notre Dame coach NelsonGord said that at the beginning ofthe season he figured Wendelwould be a role player whosevalue would be in his versatility.That was in large part becausesenior second baseman MichaelFerri, senior shortstop ThomasNorton and junior third basemanMatt Segovia were entrenched attheir respective positions. Allthree were entering their thirdseasons as starters.

DePauw softball team gets lift from OPRF's Baldwin, Trinity's GoldenBY NICK BULLOCKPioneer Press

After a midseason lull, theDePauw softball team is back ontrack, thanks to Oak Park-RiverForest's Emma Baldwin andTrinity's Taylor Golden.

Baldwin, a freshman pitcherfrom Oak Park, tossed a five-inning no-hitter to lead theTigers to a 9-O victory in thesecond game of a doubleheaderagainst Denison on March 31 inGreencastle, md. Baldwin struckout four batters and walked oneas DePauw won its fifth in a row.

In the team's next game, a 6-4victory over Hiram, Golden, asenior third baseman, went 1-for-2 with a walk and four RBI,including two on a fourth-inningsacrifice fly that gave the Tigersthe lead.

DePauw was 14-9 in its first 23games, including 5-1 in the NorthCoast Athletic Conference and4-1 at home. Golden was hitting.293 with four home runs, 18 RBIand four stolen bases. Baldwinwas leading the team with a 2.42ERA and 76 strikeouts in 60 2/3

innings pitched.Other area athletes on the

DePauw team include New Tri-er's Beth Chehnowski, a sopho-more outfielder, and Trinity'sGabby Smart, a sophomore util-ity player.

But Wendel's chance to playcame early in the season whenSegovia experienced some mildtendinitis in his throwing shoul-der.

"We have a lot of talent on thisteam, and I was just excited to getinto the lineup," said Wendel, aMount Prospect resident. "II triedto make the most out of theopportunity."

Wendel's first start of the sea-son was against Evanston onMarch 26. He went 1-for-3 inNotre Dame's 2-0 victory. Hestayed in the lineup against War-ren on March 31 and had two hits.He didn't play against Westmonton April 2, but he's remained astarter ever since. Segovia, mean-while, has been the designatedhitter and played a little left field.

Megally is DePaul'stop scorer

The DePaul men's soccer teamrecently held its 2015 awardsbanquet and a number of localathletes were honored.

Sophomore forward SimonMegally from Maine South wonthe Offensive Award for histeam-leading 11 points. He fin-ished second in goals scored withfour and tied for second in assistswith three.

The Freshman Award wassplit between two players, in-cluding Lake Zurich graduateCaleb Pothast, a freshman de-fender, who played in 17 matchesfor the Blue Demons.

Other area athletes on theteam include: Glenbrook South's¡Costa Brkovic, a freshman for-ward and midfielder; NuesWest's Robert Ljubic, a fresh-man midfielder; Stevenson'sQuentin Low, a sophomoregoalkeeper; and New Trier'sGeorge Moushi, a freshmanmidfielder.

"He just keeps hitting" saidGord, whose team began thisweek at 9-2. "The opportunitypresented itselfand he capitalizedon it."

Wendel's approach at the platehas been a prominent part of hisearly-season success.

Wendel has always hit the ballto right field a lot, he said. That'shelped him adjust to varsity pitch-ing, which is faster than what hesaw on Notre Dame's sophomoreteam a year ago.

Wendel has also seen morefastballs because he's been hittinglower in the lineup, Gord said. Invarsity baseball, pitchers oftenpound the outside comer withtheir fastballs. That suits Wendel,though, because he's so comfort-able in driving the ball the otherway.

"Seventy percent ofthe game isplayed on the outside part of theplate, and he's real patient," Gordsaid. "He takes what the pitchersgive him. Also, his ability to buntand do some of those things [hashelped]. I think he has two orthree bunt base hits. Any time youadd that into the mix, it's justgoing to open up some more holesand bolster your batting average."

Wendel's hockey season endedon March 16 and, even though thehockey season lasts for sixmonths, he didn't take any days offto rest. He was back the followingday, practicing with Notre Dame'sbaseball team and preparing forwhat would happen if, and when,he got his chance to start.

that's always a gem, rich green hues are almost universally flattering. Avoid loud limes and meek mints, and optnstead for deeper, more saturated shades. Keep the look flirty with midriff-baring dresses from Kate Spade, or casual with

stunning trenches, blazers and bags from Swiss brand Bally. Forget spring cleaning - this year, try spring greening.

I) I IDhlyWOOd, there's

SlC)flC for virtuaII' anycharacter trait. You needfunny and li)VdJ1e? Calltninìa Stone. Pixie dreangirl? Ring tip Zooey[)eschanel. Sassy? Sofia

Vergara. One trait that's extremelyrare iì those star-studded hills,though: authenticity. Enter GinaRodriguez, star otihe C\V's campyconìedv 'Jane the Virgin" and thisyear's breakout star (she even nabbedthe Golden Globe fir Best Actressin a Comed Series, beating out suchveterans as Julia Louis-I)reyfiis andEdic hijeo).

Splash first spoke with Rodri-wez, 30, last August, just hetbre theprenliere of'Jane.' i\t tlìe time, shewas an unkiuwn actress from Chica-go's Northwest Side - she attendedSt. Ignatius College Prep beforeheading to New York University topursue acting - and she couldiitbelieve she was on billboards.

Since then, a lot has changed:'l'hc show was an instant hit, earningi second season renewal, a People'sChoice Award and leading Rodriguezto a Golden Globe. Now, she's on theroad to becoming a bona Ode moviestar: She's signed on to star oppo-site Mark Wahlberg in "DeepwaterI lorizon," which begins filming laterthis month. The movie centers on the2010 oil spill i o the Gulf of Mexico,and Rodriguez stars as Andrea Fley-tas, a Latina who saved lives duringthe spill b scndiiig out the distresssignal. "I feel very honored to playher. She is a part of American history,she's a fierce Iatina, and that's all I'mabout," the actress says.

She's also writing a book of sto-ries from lier life, paired with advicefroto lier flitlier, Genero Rodriguez,a boxing referee who, according tothe actress, worked hard to give histhree daughters every opportunityin lif. ("It's gonna be juicy," shelaughs.)

Even with a hit show, a moviedeal and an upcomi ig hook, Ro-driguez remains rcnmrkahlv casual."Truthfully, not much has changed,"she says. "I didn't move, I didn't huyanything big, I didn't o crazy," shesays. "I paid oft my student loans!Glory! My parents were so excited."

That said, lier newfiiund flumetook some getting used to - espe-chilly after winning the Globe. "Atfirst, I definitely felt the pressure. Ohmv God, it's a lot to live up to. Youget critiqued much harder," she says."1 went home that night with mv

parents, and [my dadi said to iiie -he's so incredible - he said, 'Nowyou just have to do the work.' It's notabout thinking I have to look prettierwhen people see me, or that I have tobe on my p's and q's. No. You need togo hack to work tomorrow aid provethat you were deserving ofthis award.. . . The award is fantastic and won-derail and looks great on the mantel,but it's the work that got you there."

For those unflimiliar with herwork, Rodriguez stars as the titularcharacter on The CW's quirky,telenovela-sMc comedy "Jane theVirgin."The premise is charming-ly flit-fetched: Jane Villanueva, al'vpc-A virgin from a religious Lati-tio family, is accidentally artificiallyinseminated during a routine examwith the last sample troni lier bossand former cnush. Crazy plot twistseisue - murders! twins! betrayal! -and emotions run high.

The actress is quick to tease finiswith details about the show's titiale,airing May 11. "There are some se-vere Woman-empowerment decisions,aid Jane is going to make choicesthat are so strong that women every-where are gonna be like, 'Yep, mm-hmm! That's what liii talkin' about!'she says.." It was actually pertinent tomy life, about really sticking to ii'guns and really being who I wantedto he in all this craziness. That'sJane. In the fice of all the craziness,she's gonna really show women howaoiazing it is to be strong."

Rodriguez has put that strengthto good use during the last year,resisting the industry pressure tochange. "My father used to alwayssay, 'If you doi't lie, you never haveto remember anything.' I love that,because I don't lie about who I ari, Idon't hide who I am," she says.

Despite her beauty, you won't seeRodriguez strutting down red carpetsin revealing getups - though that'snot to say she hasn't been pressuredto change lier look. "When you talk

about Hollywood, it's this big, du-sive, collective decision aid societalioni-I," Rodrigtez says, gearing upfor an impassioned explaiiation."It's this collective decision that weshould all look like this. This collec-rive decision that this is what 'beau-tifid' is, this collective decision thatthis is what's cool. lt's not science, it'shOt fact, it's not the truth. I've beenapproached many times throughoutniy career where [they sayl, 'Oh she'snotpby.cica/v right.'Which is tosay, I'm either not skinny enough orcurvy enough or busty enough. But[that inst means] I'm not physicallyright for you. [lt doesn't mean,1 'I'mnot pbivsically right fr everyone inthis whole world.' No. I'm not rightfor you. And I'm OK with that."

She goes on: "We're all our ownperson and we're all our own beau'aid we're all our on strength. Youdont iced to he who somebody elsewants you to he. Be who you are. 1guarantee you feel a lot better aboutyourself at the end of the day whensomebody loves you for that and notfir what you're trying to be. . . . I gota big ol' Puerto Rican booty and Ilove it to - hut hack whenI was 15, that was not what wasin. Like, at all! Everybody was like,'Eww, she has a big liutt. Eww, I don'twait a big butt.' And now? They'reinjecting cement into their booties!That's the point: Why try to live upto the standard of this collective ideaof what is beautitiil?Just he yourself,because eventually it's gonna comeinto trend."

That off-hand specchi is Ro-driguez in a nutshell: real. Whenfms come up to lier, she says theyconipliment lier off-caniera personajust as often as they say they love theshow. She's forged a connection thatgoes beyond the screen - peoplelike the actress, not just the charac-ter. Rodriguez lias become the roleniodel weve always needed - andnow she's totally on trend.

[thought i it must be a herniated disc.Rnd I was really bLisy traveling for work(I was 36. but] they think I probablyhad it since my early 205 because I hadissues with vertigo and I had numbness.

At first: I was really frustrated I was like,"No, not one more thing. Not right now:'lt was not the best time in my life. I hadlust gotten divorced. For a week I wasupset and angry, but then I [realized] it'snot going to kill me. lt's something I canlive with and progress with and, yes, itmight put me in a wheelchair one day.

Eversince being on this treatment, I wouldn'tthink there was anything wrong withme if I didn't have to get an infusion [of

Tysabri] every other month. It's been likea miracle

What to expect: There shouldn't be astigma. I see things on TV - they seemto always show the worst-case scenarioof MS There are so many types of MSand I think it's important for people toknow that if they get that diagnosis,their life is not over.

Living with MS: I was concerned howI was going to be able to do things bymyself. My store is a really big store, butit's great - I get the exercise. I've neversaid, "Oh, poor me" Never at all. I have a

lot of great things to be thankful for

At work: For me, it's scheduling - oncea month I need tobe out of the officefor three hours [for treatment]. I told myboss I'll be on my laptop. I'll be working,but it's something I need to work intomy schedule

Talking about MS: lt's important to letpeople know [the facts] because it'smore awareness aboLit the disease. Ithink that now is the time to rise up, beproud of who you are.

At first: I had the blues, lt was not an easydiagnosis to take. My husband was the oni»who convinced me to run for city counciland to take a teaching position on top ofbeing a trial attorney. I had the supportof my family and my neurologist. He wasthe one who said, "If you don't use it, youlose it"

The good fight: Right after I was diag-nosed, my father started a golf outing witha family friend called Forward for a Cure,

and we have donated almost $1 million, Weearmark it for stem cell research. With allthis progression in medicine. I know they'reright there with a cure.

ForChloe Bennet, the transition from

Chicago girl to Flollywood it-girl is almostcomplete. Shcs been through the manda-toryjimmy Kimmel hazing - last year the

host exposed her past as a teenage popstar in Chinaby directing viewers to a music video of 16-year-oldBennet (she still blushes about that); sh&s amassedover 250,000 Twitter followers; she's got a Ilollywotdheartthrob beau, "The Walking Dead's"Austin Nichols("We're a serious comic-nerd dream," she jokes); andher show,"Marvel's Agents ofS.H.I.E.L.D.,"now in itssecond season, has become a hit.

Maybe most importantly, though, she's earned therespect ofher six brothers. "They finally think I'm kindof cool now - a little bit," she laughs. "They obvious-y love [co-starsj Elizabeth [Henstridgel, Adrianne{ Palicki] and Ming-Na [Weni more thaii me, but it'sstill cool."

In the past year, Bennet, 22, has come into herown. Likewise, her character, Skye, has gone throughdramatic shifts in the series: She started as an anar-chist computer hacker living in a van, then became agovernment agent and now wields earthquake-causingsuperpowers given to her by alien technology. "lt feelslike it's a completely different daracter somctiines,'

-admits Berinet. "There's nòt a dull moment at all."

Last

year, the actress laughed about her lack ofrdinntion,joking,"Fm pretty sure I played tee-ball

._and i'd miss the tee." Now, even that's changed:-.-- -. To prep for her character's new skills,

, Bennet trained injiu-jitsu, Krav Maga,kickhoxing and mixed martial arts.

"[My trainer and 11 were in myapartment gym heating eachother up. I think my neighbo

otworried about mc, but itvas worth it," she says. "There's

a lot of stuff coming up at thend of the season where Skye's

going to be kind of a badass.Ijust read the [Season 2] finale

and it's the best episode of ourentire series, I think. If you think

[Skye has] changed thus far, it'sgoing to get even crazier."While her day job as a Marvel

superhero-in-the-making keeps her prettybusy - "This season has really taken it out of me," sheconfesses - Bennet plans on taking full advantage ofthe upcoming summer hiatus. She'll head to Atlanta tosupport her boyfriend on "The Walking Dead" set andtake a much-needed visit hack to Chicago tosee herfamily on the West Side.

BY CHIARA MILIOULIS

WhenNew jersey natives Kerry Robinson and Col-

in Cheney graduated from college in 2008, they

were unsure of their next steps. "Everyone moved

to New \rk for work - neither of us wanted todo that just yet," Robinson says. So that foil, the couple embarked on

a four-month cross-country road trip - hut what they discoveredwas something tììudì more permanent. "We stopped in Chicagoand bed it, so when we got hack home and it was time to figure

ut our lives, we decided to move [here]," she says.

l"our wars later, in July 2013, Cheney, new member represen-

tative at Nadex, took Robinson, director otPR for the Park HyattChicago, on a walk along Diversey Harbor - Robinson's fiivoriteview of the city - with their dog, Max. As they walked, thecouple reminisced on their past trips. That's when he pulled outa diamond ring and asked, 'Are you ready for our next adven-

ture?" Robinson vividly remembers her reaction, saying, "I started

screaming. I think people walking by thought we were breaking upbecause I was hysterically crying!"

The pair tied the knot last fall at the Peggy Notehaert NatureMuseum (2430 N. Cannon) with 90 oftheir closest friends andfismlly looking on. Navy and gold hues were woven throughoutthe ceremony and reception and, for a personal touch, the couplemarked table assignments with vintage postcards from their favor-ite places, including the Jersey Shore, San Antonio and Charleston,South Carolina. "The atmosphere felt really us - it was really laidhack," says the bride. "We're not super flashy, so we wanted [thereceptioni to be romantic, intimate and home%" But the sweetesthighlight of the evening was the dessert table, overflowing withNuteila and banana turnovers, caramel mousse bombs, mini straw-berry tarts and jars of jeilyheans.

After the nuptials, the duo jetted off on yet another adventure:

a tropical honeymoon in Maui, Hawaii.

Are you allergicto your home?t's allergy season, which means

it's time to call Stanley Steemer.

Stanley Steemer is the tìrst car-

pet cleaning service to be Cer-

tified asthma and allergy friendly bythe Asthma and Allergy Foundationof America (AAFA). To earn thiscertification, Stanley Steemer's carpet

cleaning process and equipment

underwent scientific testing withan independent, accredited testingfacility. Getting Certified asthma& allergy friendly by the Asthmaand Allergy Foundation of America(AAFA) was not a simple task andtook over 2 years of thorough testing

by an independent testing group.

Testing revealed what we knew all

along, our carpet cleaning process

removes allergens from carpet. We

just didn't know how much. lt wasdiscovered that Stanley Steemer re-

moves an average of 94% of common

household allergens from carpet.

Those common household allergensinclude dust, pollen and pet dander,

to name a few. We now have the

scientific research and Certificationto show that Stanley Steemer has

once again set the standard for a

cleaner and healthier home. We're

excited to be the first in our industryto accomplish this.

AAFAS Certification Standard for

Professional Carpet Cleaning Ser-

-i'i i\-i il;l.I i i\l I

vices recommends having a certified

professional steam cleaning every

3-4 months. In fact, to make it even

easier and more economical for our

valued customers and to help ensure

a healthier and cleaner home, we

offer a customer loyalty program.

We call this loyalty program the

One Year Clean Guarantee (OYCG)

program. The OYCG program

provides three additional cleanings

a year at a reduced price, plus 20%

off additional services. Which means

you save while we clean.

Founded in 1947, Stanley Steemer

has always been the industry leader

in carpet cleaning. Today with a

network of more than 300 compa-

ny-owned and franchised locations

through the United States, everyone

can reap the benefits ola cleaner

Pre-Fall and Fall2015 collections

in a by-appoint-ment-only trunkshow at Winnetka'sneapolitan collection(715 Elm, call 847-441-7784). Lam

Calling us from:"I'm in the studio

we are workingon Resort, or whatwe call Pre-Spring,and Spring [2016],so we work about ayear ahead for eachcollection"

My Pre-Fall 2015collection: "Was in-spired by Malevich, aRussian constructiv-ist artist who kind ofproposed haute cou-ture and landscapeas simple geometricforms; that's what Iwanted to do withthe collection - usegeometric forms ina three-dimensionalway to redefine whatmodern clothinglooks like."

Point of view: "Thefoundation of whatt do is to try tothink about how wedream through fash-ion, and also whywe use fashion, whywe need fashion; so[there's] this kindof rational side to it,but also a side that'sa fantasy. lt's [about]trying to combinethose two desiresinto clothing

My personal styleIs: "Very much inthe school of JamesDean - the Ameri-can uniform."

What scares me:'Besides the practi-cal, like drowning -I'm not a big waterperson - I think theusual: failure, fallingdown and breakinga bone. But nothithat prohibits mov-ing on in life,"

Coming to Chicago:"I really love theMidwestern valuesthat Chicago epit-omizes, [There is]this beautiful art andarchitecture that'scoupled with a realsense of rationalirrationality, whichI find very modern.very refreshing."
