idea that someone could go into ashop and reach into a "jar of budsand put some in a baggie for you,it does not work that way.

A resident who did not wanther name publicized spoke upat the meeting and expressedher concerns. "I'm personallyvery surprised in the directionthat this country has been going,especially with Illinois... I urgeyou to really think hard aboutthe decision because this is notall about money, it's also aboutour future generations' health...I moved to the United States 12years ago from China... This is notthe country I moved to."

The village published 41 emailsonline that village staff and trust-ees have received from the lastfew weeks sent by residents andan organization on their opinion;26 were in favor, 12 were againstand three were neutral.

Assistant Village Manager,Nel-lie Beckner, presented the boardand the audience with an overviewof the ordinance. Illinois legisla-tors submitted a trailer bill, SB1557, which clarifies some of theitems that were either unclear orleft out of the original recreationalcannabis act.

SB 1557 amends several items

in the Cannabis Regulation andTax Act such as some of the defi-nitions, references, terminology,discipline of licensees, disclosureof records, licenses (issuance,criteria, dispensing organizationrequirements, violations andpenalties); operating a watercraftor snowmobile while under theinfluence of cannabis, the legalstatus of cannabis paraphernalia,amongst other items.

Some of the aforementioneditems were of concern to trusteesin previous meetings , specifically,what a cannabis lounge is or isn't;what on -site consumption wouldmean; and if public employeescould use cannabis.

According to Beckner's presen-tation, the trailer bill clarifies thaton -site consumption would onlybe allowed at cannabis shops andtobacco stores, to coincide withSmoke Free Illinois. However, inthe draft opt -in ordinance, articleseven, the village wouldn't allowany on -site consumption. Articleseven in the draft states it wouldbe unlawful to "knowingly ornegligently fail to immediatelyprevent or stop, on business prem-ises under his or her control, theconsumption of any cannabis byany individual."

Also in SB 1557, article 410ILCS 705/10-50, it states: "noth-ing in the Act shall prohibit anemployer from adopting reason-able zero tolerance or drug freeworkplace policies, or employ-ment policies concerning drug

"I would very much like to seethe village of Mount Prospect givethe okay for cannabis," Goodmansaid.

Another resident, Pam Mag-nuson, said that the revenue fromrecreational cannabis sales couldhelp go toward pensions.

"I think it would be neglectfulto have Mount Prospect to not takethe opportunity... I think it couldreally help us...the opportunity tobetter our city," Magnuson said.

Residents who were against orneutral toward opting -in for rec-reational cannabis sales said theyhave concerns about the productgetting into the hands of the youthor not knowing what is actually inthe product.

Mayor Juracek said, "Legal,recreational cannabis in the stateof Illinois is probably more highlyregulated than in any other state.You can only buy it in a sealedpackage that has a barcode onit, that traces that product backthrough the chain of production,all the way to the grower. In fact,the state of Illinois reserves theright and requirement to test thatproduct."

She added that if people had an

testing, smoking, consumption,storage or use of cannabis in theworkplace or while on call pro-vided that the policy is appliedin a nondiscriminatory manner."

If SB 1557 is passes, this means

that even though as of Jan. 1, 2020it will be legal to use cannabisrecreationally, any employer re-serves the right to have reasonabledrug policies. This includes firstresponders and public officials.

Apartments(Continued from page 1A)The development would also

include a lobby, two elevators, arental and sales office, a businesscenter and an exercise room forresidents. The layout calls for 23units per floor with eight additionalunits of the first floor, which wouldinclude handicap accessible units.

Some units would have balco-nies that measure 15 feet by 6 feet.

Parking for the units wouldbe along the property as well asshared parking with the plaza forother residents and visitors.

During the presentation to thecouncil, questions came up fromaldermen as to how water wasgoing to be provided to the units.

According to Pontarelli, waterlines have already been construct-ed in that area and a water supplysystem is in place so the city wouldnot have to do any additional workwhen it comes to water supply.Concerns were still raised by Ald.Wendy Morgan -Adams (3rd), andPontarelli said they would bringback more information during

the next presentation to answerall questions regarding the watersupply.

Another main concern broughtup by Ald. Michelle Cameron(1st) was if the proposed projecthad accounted for enough parking.Currently, the project accounts for26 inside parking stalls and 108exterior spaces. They are expect-ing 1.2 cars per unit.

Pontarelli said that parkingshould not be an issue due to howmany unused parking spots are atthe nearby center and that wouldprovide a cross -sharing easementfor residents and visitors.

The rest of the council agreedwith Cameron's concerns. Ald.Pat Ludvigsen (4th) suggested thatmaybe the developers should con-sider resizing and removing someunits to allow for the restructuringto include more parking.

Future presentations from Pon-tarelli will be held during councilmeetings starting in the newyear, where they hope to addressconcerns raised by the council inhopes of receiving approval forwhat Pontarelli believes wouldbe a great addition to ProspectHeights.

COOK COUNTY ASPIRES TO HIT 15,000SAME -SEX MARRIAGES BEFORE YEAR ENDS

The Cook County Clerk's Officeannounced that 14,860 same -sexmarriage licenses have been issuedin the last six years -- a number thatis expected to hit 15,000 beforethe year ends.

As of Nov. 15, the clerk's officeissued 14,860 marriage licensesto same -sex couples, averagingapproximately 114 per month in2019.

Former Gov. Pat Quinn signedthe state's marriage equality act onNov. 20, 2013, while reportedlyhaving said, "love never fails."Illinois was the 16th state in theUnited States to legalize same -sexmarriage.

Since 2013, the average agefor same -sex newly weds was40 -years -old between 2014 and2016; however, between 2017 and2019, the average age decreased

to 37.Chicago claimed the highest

percentage of same -sex mar-riages in Cook County with 8,308licenses issued, with Evanston thesecond higest with 245.

Des Plaines clocked in at No. 5with 107 licenses; Palatine at No.8 with 91; Wheeling at No. 16with 47; Elk Grove Village at 21with 36; Glenview at 23 with 32;Park Ridge at 35 with 23; Nilesat 37 with 22; Rolling Meadowsat 39 with 22; and Buffalo Groveat 40 with 21.

In 1819, Illinois enacted ananti -sodomy law, which wouldprison, fine and physically punishhomosexual people. Illinois onlyrescinded this law 58 years ago,on July 28, 1961. Illinois was thefirst state to gid rid of its anti -sodomy law. Several states still

have anti -sodomy laws, despite the2003 United States Supreme Courtruling in Lawrence v. Texas thatanti -sodomy laws are unconstitu-tional, citing a 14th Amendmentviolation.

"The fight for marriage equal-ity was not an easy one," CookCounty Clerk Karen Yarbroughsaid. "LGBT activists and allieshave been fighting for a long time-- some of whom are here todayafter years of work, lobbying,legislating and support for thisbasic human right many peopletake for granted."

Cook County has more than 130municipalities; however, only 45were listed with data. There wasnot any data listed for ArlingtonHeights, Mount Prospect, ProspectHeights or Rosemont.

Question Of How To Handle SchoolOvercrowding Continues In River TrailsBy RICHARD MAYERAssociate Editor

With River Trails ElementarySchool Dist. 26 in Mount Prospecthaving to wait another year to opena kindergarten center, space insome of the district's schools couldgrow tighter by next year.

Supt. Nancy Wagner said therewill be some overcrowding, espe-cially at Euclid and Indian Groveelementary schools next year, butshe remains confident the districtwill figure out a resolution beforenext August.

"We haven't determined how weare going to fit everything in nextyear," she said, adding a discussionwith the school board will takeplace this month to determine thebest plans for the 2020-21 schoolyear. "We will have to allocate

rooms."As of Oct. 1, there were 1,580

students enrolled in the districtthis school year. Of those, 459students are enrolled at Euclid,562 at Indian Grove, and 503 atRiver Trails Middle School.

According to enrollment pro-jections, the 2020-21 schoolyear shows 33 more students atEuclid totaling 492, 11 more atIndian Grove totaling 573, and10 more at the middle schooltotaling 513.

Starting in the 2021-22 schoolyear when the new kindergartencenter is expected to open, thedistrict anticipates significant re-ductions in the number of studentsat both elementary schools, sincekindergartners will have their ownbuilding.

Projected numbers for that

school year show 392 students atEuclid, 490 at Indian Grove, and506 at the middle school.

With administrators and boardmembers still unsure how they willaccommodate increased enroll-ment at the elementary schoolsnext year, Wagner said one pos-sibility could be enlarging classsizes in one grade. The largest classsize projected next year at Euclidis second grade with 83 students.At Indian Grove, the largest classprojected is first grade with 102students.

"There is nothing we can doabout the overcrowding nextyear," Wagner said. "We do nothave more space."

The kindergarten center wassupposed to open next August,but a Cook County judge recentlyruled that Park View Montessori

School can continue to occupy thespace through June 30, 2020. Thedistrict will not be able to completebuilding the kindergarten centerbetween July 1 and the time thenew school begins next August,resulting in the delay.

In other news, the district wasscheduled to host a CommunityInput Meeting from 7 to 8:30 p.m.Tuesday, Dec. 10 in the library atRiver Trails Middle School, 1000N. Wolf Rd., Mount Prospect.

The evening consisted of acarousel activity, which providedthose attending an opportunity tomove around a room in a circularfashion stopping to comment,discuss, or respond to questionsand topics.

Wagner said feedback from themeeting will help the district moveforward with its strategic plan.

Favorable Finances Projected By Dist. 57By RICHARD MAYERAssociate Editor

Mount Prospect ElementarySchool Dist. 57 continues to reapthe financial benefits from a prop-erty tax increase referendum sup-ported by voters in March 2018.

Financial projections for the nextfive years show the district stable

with balanced budgets and healthyfund balances or reserves.

In the current fiscal year thatruns through June 30, 2020, thedistrict has a surplus in its budgetof about $590,000, with fund bal-ances around $14 million, whichequates to over 40% of total ex-penditures -- above the policy ofmaintaining a fund balance of at

least 30% of total expenditures.Starting in fiscal year 2021,

which begins July 1, 2020, thedistrict anticipates a surplus of$115320 with fund balances near$14.5 million, or approximately46% of total expenditures.

In fiscal year 2022 starting July1, 2021, the district anticipates asurplus of under $100,000 andfund balances to remain the sameas the previous year.

In the remaining few years ofthe five-year projection, whichdistrict officials said is less reli-able, balanced budgets and fundbalances are shown at or over $14million, equating to no less than40% of total expenditures.

All of those numbers includeanother $3 million and $4 millionfor capital projects on an annualbasis.

"We are in really good shapefinancially," Assistant Supt. of

011110irmiipexib

Finance and Operations AdamParisi said, noting the only thingthat could change projectionsdrastically would be if the statemakes any major legislativechanges that would hinder thedistrict financially.

The referendum that voters sup-ported in March 2018 is generatingapproximately $60 million in newrevenue for the district over thenext 10 years.

Even though the district is ingood financial shape, Parisi saidstaffing or programs will not beincreased and class sizes will notbe lowered.

"That was not what the refer-endum talked about," he said. "Ifwe added programs and staffingand reduced fees, those projec-tions would not be the same andsurpluses would turn into deficitsand our fund balances would beless."

Faithful Flock 200,000 StrongDP Prepares ForFeast Of Our LadyOf Guadalupe

By LAUREN BARRYJournal & Topics Reporter

As the Shrine of Our Lady ofGuadalupe in Des Plaines preparesto hold the largest pilgrimage in theArchdiocese of Chicago, motoristsshould be aware of traffic changesin the area this week.

Central Road will be closedfrom Wolf Road to River Roadbeginning at 4 p.m. Wednesday(Dec. 11) for the Feast of OurLady of Guadalupe, according toofficer Michael Heidkamp of theDes Plaines Police Dept.

He said Central may be closedat East River Road depending onfoot traffic and is not expected toreopen until after the morning rushhour Thursday (Dec. 12). Accessto Central from Oakton Commu-nity College will also be blocked.No other roads will be closed,but residents should be careful ofpedestrians on Wednesday andThursday, Heidkamp said.

This year, approximately200,000 people are expected tocome to the outdoor shrine -- lo-cated on the Maryville Academycampus at River and Central roads-- for the feast. Held in Des Plainesannually for the past three decades,the event draws pilgrims to wor-ship Our Lady of Guadalupe,described by the Archdiocese as"patroness of the Americas."

Some of the pilgrims walk milesto visit the shrine, which wasinspired by the Basilica of OurLady of Guadalupe in Tepeyac,Mexico.

The Guadalupe story wellknown to many Mexican Catho-lics. In the story, the Virgin Maryis said to have appeared to SaintJuan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin witha cloak full of roses.

The original Tepeyac shrineto the virgin is the most visitedpilgrimage site in the world, andthe Feast of Our Lady of Guada-lupe in Des Plaines is one of thelargest celebrations of the storyoutside Mexico.

Alejandro Castillo of the Arch-diocese of Chicago communica-tions said a third of parishes inthe Chicago Archdiocese sendpilgrims to the event.

Feast activities kicked off Fri-day, Dec. 6 with a press confer-ence with Rev. Esequiel Sanchez,rector of the shrine and organizerof the event.

At 9 a.m. Saturday (Dec. 7)morning ,the eighth annual Horse-back and Trailer Pilgrimage, fea-turing over 100 riders from ClubLos Vaqueros, embarked fromDam No. 1 Woods in Northbrookto mark the official start of thepilgrimage.

The official feast will begin at 6

Horses parade past the Our Lady of Guadalupe shrine at Maryville Academy in Des Plaines last Saturday. The annual Horseback and TrailerPilgrimage kicks off the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe - two days of worship this week at Maryville.

Horses line up at the entrance to Maryville during Saturday's Caval-cade.

p.m. Wednesday with an openingMass. There will be a Mass everytwo hours until 5 a.m. Thursday.

This year, the only outdoor Massat the shrine will be the midnightMass , said Castillo. Other masses,such as the healing Mass and theMass for the young will be heldin the Chapel of St. Joseph, whichwas completed last year and canaccommodate up to 1,110 wor-shippers.

Events will run through 7 a.m.Thursday and include a sung ro-sary and a torch ceremony.

Heidkamp said pilgrims shouldavoid the intersection of Riverand Rand roads due to construc-tion. As the weather is expectedto be "brutally cold," he also saidpilgrims should take advantage ofshuttle -buses from Oakton Com-munity College, St. Emily Churchin Mount Prospect and PalwaukeePlaza in Prospect Heights.

German Service At ChurchA Nod To Village's HeritageBy NIC F. ANDERSONJournal & Topics Reporter

A Mount Prospect church is hosting itsninth annual German language Christmasservice -- an event which draws churchgoers from across the Chicago area.

St. Paul Lutheran Church, 100 S. SchoolSt., will host the service at 5 p.m. Saturday,Dec. 21. The service will be a traditionalLutheran service, but conducted in German.An English translation of the sermon willbe available. Musical selections will besung by the German -American Singersof Chicago.

In 1912, German farmers and smallbusinessmen residing in the area -- laterto become Mount Prospect -- founded St.Paul Lutheran Church. Both the churchand a school were built a few blocks eastof the village's downtown area on farmland donated by George Busse.

The original habitats of the area werethe Potawatomi tribe, according to theMount Prospect Historical Society. Later,Potawatomis, American settlers and Euro-pean settlers resided within the area withno extensive trade. Years later, around the1840s , German immigrants began to settleinto the area. A majority of the immigrantsheld Lutheran beliefs.

Shortly after, trade and businesses tookoff because "what the German settlersdid that the Yankees had not, was work toestablish a community," according to the

Mount Prospect Historical Society. TheGerman settlers aspired to preserve theirreligion and cultural traditions.

The first Lutheran church, St. John'sLutheran, was established in what is nowElk Grove Township in 1848.

St. Paul was founded in 1913 andoriginally a satellite church of St. John's.In 1917, the area had reached 300 resi-dents and became incorporated MountProspect.

Due to the rich Germanic language andhistory the community had at the time, St.Paul held church services in German untilthe mid 1930s. St. Paul Lutheran Schooltaught German language to its studentsuntil the late 1970s.

As the years went by and different partsof the state, country and world becamemore accessible, the village was no lon-ger mainly German, and instead becamepopulated with other ethnicities, races,cultures and creeds.

In 2011, the German Christmas Servicewas reintroduced as a way to celebratethe church's 100th year anniversary. Theservice was so well received by the con-gregation and the broader community, thatit quickly became an annual tradition.

Senior Pastor Kris Whitby invites thepublic to attend the German service on Dec.21. Whitby said the service "is not just forGerman speakers, but for all who wouldlike to experience Christmas worship in thetradition of our area's earliest settlers."

Winter Tips From Maine TownshipPlanning ahead for winter can really

pay dividends, according to Walter Ka-zmierczak, Maine Township highwaycommissioner. "If we all follow thesesimple rules ,it can help make winter lessof a burden on all of us," he said.

"It is important for residents to observesnow route parking bans that go intoeffect after two inches of snow," saidKazmierczak who added that cars thatrestrict the township's ability to plowstreets may be ticketed and or towed.He advised residents to use off streetparking, if possible.

Residents are also asked to keepsidewalks shoveled to facilitate safepedestrian traffic and also to make surethat fire hydrants are accessible andvisible from the street. However, snowshould not be shoveled or blown fromprivate property onto public sidewalksor streets. "This causes unnecessary

hazards and is also subject to tickets orfines," said Kazmierczak.

The safety and mobility of all resi-dents depend on easy access to streetsand sidewalks, according the highway,commissioner, who reminded peoplethat emergency and snow plow vehicleshave the right of way. He also cautionedpeople not to follow a snow plow or a salttruck as weather conditions may make itdifficult for the driver to see them.

To facilitate snowplowing, residentsare asked not to park opposite anothercar on a narrow street during a snowfall.They are also asked to place garbagecans at the end of driveways and notin the street as this also interferes withsnowplowing.

Water, Sewer RatesTo Rise In VillageBy MC F. ANDERSONJournal & Topics Reporter

Mount Prospect trustees ap-proved an ordinance increasingthe village's combined water andsewer utility rate in a multi -yearrate plan on Tuesday (Dec. 3). The2020 village budget includes the8% increase and was approvedby the village board on Nov. 19.

The recommendation to in-crease the rate came from a formalWater and Sewer Rate Study thevillage performed in 2017, whichassessed the water and sewer en-terprise revenue stream.

According to village docu-ments, the study called for amodified rate structure, with plansfir annual increases from 2018though 2025.

The last time the village amend-ed the rate was in 2017, which

changed the rates for 2018 and2019. The rate approved on Dec.3, changing the rates for 2020and 2021.

The rate study from 2017 wasthe first analysis the village per-formed to assess the water/sewerenterprise revenue stream. Villagedocuments state that the Water andSewer Rate Study was done afterthe revenue stream from SpecialService Area 5 (SSA 5) expired.

SSA5 generated approximately$15 million to fund capital im-provements in the village. Thestudy provided staff with data tocome up with a financial plan thatphases in the renewal of the fund-ing for the water and sewer mainat a pace that accommodates anaverage life of 130 years by 2025.Before the rate study, the originalprojected pace to fund the replace-ment was around 600 years.

The approved rate plan recom-mends an average annual rateincrease of 8% until 2025 andusing the debt leverage initiallyto avoid greater increases.

The planned increases sup-ported the debt service and wereintended to generate enoughcash to hit the targeted level ofreinvestment for renewals andreplacements of the water andsewer main. The village has issuedtwo debt issuances, one in 2018and the other in 2019, and raisedapproximately $14.49 million inbonds for capital projects.

According to village docu-ments, the village is "on trackwith the capital projects and dailyoperations."

The rate study was approved bythe village board in July 2017, withthe first set of increases approvedin late 2017.

Dist. 57 Approves PurchaseOf Mobile Units At WestbrookIf Needed, Classrooms Could One Day Be Used For Full -Day K

In order to save approximately$13,000 in lease payments, MountProspect Elementary School Dist.57 board members Nov. 21 ap-proved $70,000 to purchase twoexisting mobile classrooms atWestbrook School.

During the 2016-17 school year,a larger than normal kindergartenclass entered Westbrook. At thattime, it presented the district achallenge for the following yearas those students would becomefirst graders and would need tobe in classrooms all day. Districtofficials at that time did not realizeit was going to become the "newnorm" at Westbrook.

Due to the uncertainty of enroll-ment and the financial situation

of the district at that time, it wasdecided to lease the mobile class-rooms for a three-year period. Forthe last two years, the classroomshave been utilized as art and musicclasses.

Since Westbrook is nearly atcapacity, district officials said itwould be difficult to remove themobile units.

Additionally, by purchasing themobile classrooms now as op-posed to waiting until July whenthe lease expires, the district willsave $12,640 in lease payments.

Assistant Supt. of Finance andOperations Adam Parisi said hedoes not envision the district re-moving the mobile classrooms. Hesaid if the district ever got to the

point where enrollment decreasedat Westbrook , then it would be ableto entertain the idea of offeringfull -day kindergarten at the schoolwithout needing a brick and mortaraddition. The mobile classroomswould then be utilized to providefull -day kindergarten.

Parisi said if any school wereto see a building expansion, itwould be Lions Park ElementarySchool, but, he emphasized, thatwill not occur until enrollmentcalls for it and that is not the caseanytime soon.

Since the mobiles at Westbrookare installed with concrete slabsand utilities, they cannot be trans-ferred to another school and areconsidered a permanent fixture.

Adjustments To New Marijuana Law Include Banking, DUI, Expungements, Ethics, FOIA

By TOM ROBBJournal & Topics Reporter

Gov. JB Pritzker signed a recre-ational marijuana "trailer" bill intolaw last week, which cleans uplanguage in the initial recreationalmarijuana bill taking effect Jan.1,2020.

Areas where changes were madein Senate Bill 1557 legalizingrecreational marijuana in Illinoisinclude banking regulation (asmarijuana is still illegal underfederal law), adds ethics legisla-tion blocking state employeesand elected officials who dealwith marijuana regulation from

having a financial interest inmarijuana -related businesses, andadds criminal penalties to thoseconvicted of operating boats andsnowmobiles under the influenceof marijuana.

The June recreational marijuanabill allowed local municipalities toenact zoning regulations to eitherallow and regulate recreationalmarijuana businesses or to bansales completely.

Locally, communities includingNiles, Rolling Meadows, BuffaloGrove, Wheeling and Northbrookare among those approving localordinances and zoning allowingrecreational marijuana busi-

nesses.Among those barring recre-

ational marijuana businesses arePark Ridge,Arlington Heights andGlenview.

Mount Prospect was set to voteon opting in or out of sales at aspecial meeting Tuesday (Dec.10).

One change which will be felt atthe local level by law enforcementcomes in the area of expunge-ments . The new law puts the re-sponsibility of expunging criminalrecords of minor cannabis offenseson local, county and state law en-forcement, automatically, withoutany request needing to be made by

those charged or convicted withminor cannabis offenses.

Niles Police Bureau ChiefRobert Tornabene said recordsclerks in the Niles departmenthave already begun the processof going through digital recordsto identify those charged withminor cannabis offenses. He saidwhile those digital records willbe relatively easy to identify andpurge, paper records will provemore labor intensive.

Village OKs Hazardous Waste Collection ProposalBy NIC F. ANDERSONJournal & Topics Reporter

Earlier this year, the village ofMount Prospect held hazardouswaste collection events allow-ing residents to safely get rid ofharmful chemicals. On Tuesday(Dec. 3), Mount Prospect trusteesaccepted a proposal from Tradebe,a waste management company,fortwo to three one -day events at anamount not to exceed $102,000.

The household hazardous col-lection events this year drew par-ticipation from more than 1,000households in village. However,village documents state that theI EPA has reduced funding and is no

longer hosting any one -day eventsin the northern Illinois area.

Along with this, the four perma-nent Illinois Environmental Pro-tection Agency (IEPA) householdhazardous waste disposal sitesin Naperville, Chicago's GooseIsland, Rockford and the SolidWaste Agency of Lake County(SWALCO)-Gurnee are "notconvenient" for Mount Prospectresidents.

Village staff sought proposalsfrom 11 environmental companiesto provide the village with OSHA/Hazardous (HazMat) trained

personnel for the segregation,packing, disposal and transpor-tation of residents' householdhazardous waste in accordancewith IEPA guidelines. This is tosupport the operation of multipleone -day household hazardouswaste (HHW) collections in thevillage.

The request for proposals (RFP)asked for two to three one -dayHHW events to be held on Satur-days during the months of Apriland October.

The total cost estimate for aone -day HHW event (up to 600 ve-

hicles) is $45,994 in disposal andrecycling costs. The approximatecost to host two to three one -dayevents is $91,988 to $137,982, ac-cording to village documents.

Tradebe did not submit thelowest cost proposal. "AlthoughTradabe is not the overall low-est cost provider, the firm hasextensive experience conductinghousehold hazardous waste eventsthroughout the state of Illinois.Additionally, the firm submitteda very robust and comprehensivetechnical proposal," village docu-ments state.

HHW collection will only avail-able for Mount Prospect residents;proof of residency will be required.The following materials will beaccepted: corrosives, oxidizers,flammable solvents, waste sol-vents, oil based paint, inorganicpoisonous solids, organic poisonsand pesticides, waste oils, anti-freeze, latex paint, compressedgas cylinders, Pentachlorophenol ,Sylvex, 2, 4, 5-T and hazardoussubstances, liquids or solids, nototherwise specified.

Exact time and dates are to beannounced; however, events willbe held at the Mount ProspectPublic Works Facility, accordingto the village.

Prospect Heights Public Library Approves Renovation Plans, Work Budget

Prospect Heights Public Library(PHPL) trustees approved thefinal master plan for the library'sinterior renovation project andestablished a budget of $5.2 mil-lion for the work at their Nov. 26meeting.

The library is renovating the in-terior; no new floors or expansionwill occur. According to PHPLExecutive DirectorAlex Todd, therenovation will allow for better useof interior space that was previ-ously being underutilized.

Todd used an example of wherethe library stores magazines. Sincethe library no longer holds on toolder magazine issues, the areawhere they're stored has potentialto be used more efficiently.

PHPL has been working with

product architecture + design, aChicago -based architecture firmwith a portfolio full of library de-signs, over the last few months.

Currently, a groundbreaking isstill a ways away, as the architectsstill need to hammer out the details

such as electricity, plumping, fix-tures and furniture. However, Toddsaid that tentatively, PHPL is hop-ing to break ground fall 2020.

The original library building at12 N. Elm St. was constructed in1972 and expanded in 1991.

Fairview, Lions Park UniteTo Make Chemo PackagesFairview and Lions Park fifth graders came together Dec. 2 to pack 400 chemo carepackages that local nonprofit Lemons of Love will distribute to cancer patients. Thebags included items donated by Mount Prospect Elementary School Dist. 57 families,including coloring books, crayons, superhero socks and happy pictures - plus stuffedanimals donated by Petsmart. The kids also raised $100 for Lemons of Love by buyingsnacks during the packing event.

D57 OKs Contract ForNon -Union Employees

Mount Prospect Elementary School Dist.57 board members approved anew four-yearcontract with approximately 100 non-unionemployees that increases pay in each yearof the contract.

The new deal with the district's Educa-tional Support Professional Association,approved Nov. 21, begins July 1, 2020and continues through June 30, 2024. Thatgroup consists of instructional assistants,building secretaries, clerical assistant,custodians, facilities supervisors, Kids'Corner staff, and central office administra-tive assistants.

The first year of the contract will increasepay for the non-union workers by an aver-age of 6% with 2.5-3.5% increases in thesecond and third years of the deal, and 4%increase in the final year of the term.

Assistant Supt. of Finance and OperationsAdam Parisi said negotiations began thispast September and a deal was reached aftera series of meetings without a mediator.

The last year of the current five-yearcontract entails those employees, most

who earn around $15 per hour, seeing a3% increase in pay.

According to Parisi, one main differencebetween the new contract and the current oneis anyone new that enters the district willbe able to take advantage of the increasesslated for each year, which is not part ofthe current contact.

Parisi stated with new employees not be-ing able to receive increases in the currentcontract, it has caused the district to fallbelow market value in many of those posi-tions, with some employees having left forbetter paying jobs in other districts.

He believes the new contract will allowDist. 57 to retain current employees andattract other individuals.

"We are still not at the high end whenit comes to pay, but we will be in a betterposition," Parisi said.

Certified teachers are in the third yearof a four-year contract, which expiresJune 30, 2021. Parisi said the district willbegin negotiations with the union nextschool year.

Offices, RetailFor FormerBank Building?

While details aresketchy known onlyto the buyers, sellersand their brokers, theimpact of the probablesale of the former bankbuilding at Lee andEllinwood streets willlikely be a major step,hopefully, toward there-emergence of down-town Des Plaines.

than 90 years. Forall nine decades, the familiarbuilding has housed a varietyof mostly local banks. The lastbank that did business there wasnot truly local being based inColumbus, Ohio. First NationalBank of Des Plaines, Des PlainesBank, Des Plaines National Bankand Plaines Bank were among

the many financial in-stitutions that operatedon the prime site.

What we've beentold is that an invest-ment group submittedthe winning bid for thebuilding. The purchaseprice was at least$450,000, which iswhere offers began inthe auction process.

One of the potentialplans for the site is toconvert the buildinginto office use on thetop floor and retailspace for stores andshops on the ground

level. To our knowledge no onehas said anything about demol-ishing the building.

At this stage, we're told thebuilding is under contract topurchase. During the three-dayauction, approximately 15 peo-ple representing potential buyerstoured the facility to determine

if bids would be submitted. It isnot known how many bids weresubmitted and for what amounts.Neither the bank nor its brokerswould let that information out.

Depending on the finaldetermination about how thebuilding will be used, whether itbe for offices, stores, or some-thing else, the prospects of itstransformation seem good forthe city. The structure has been

empty for nearly a year.Located directly to its west

and south is property that withina week or two will be com-pletely flat. The several mostlyretail buildings that occupiedthat space along Ellinwood andLee for decades are nothing butcrumbling bricks and memories.In its place, a 212 -unit, seven -story apartment building will beconstructed. Completion date is

still far off.With the planned summer or

fall 2020 opening of the reno-vated Des Plaines Theater acrossthe Metra rail line from the for-mer bank building, the develop-ment of the 212 apartments andother residential projects thatwere recently completed, therecreation of a large part of thecity's downtown continues at asteady pace.

Adjustments To Law(Continued from page 11A)

by law enforcement, "No suchrecord exists."

The bill also amends theSmoke Free Illinois Act, a lawprohibiting smoking by thoseunder 21, adopted earlier thisyear. State Sen. Laura Fine (D -9th), a co-sponsor of the trailerbill, said there are individualsbetween the ages of 18 and 21

who have prescriptions for medi-cal marijuana to be smoked. Thenew law makes an exception inthe state.

Although banking is regulatedat the federal level, the trailerbill mandates that state officialswould not issue orders, prohibitor penalize banks and other fi-nancial institutions for providingservices to legitimate marijuanarelated businesses in Illinois.

Here's a Quentin Tarantinoending to the impeachmentinquiry: "The truth is you'rethe weak. And I'm the tyrannyof evil men. But I'm trying realhard, America. I'm trying realhard to blame it on the Demo-crats."

Looks BadWhat is with all the cars

everywhere from the SilverStallion and behind that lot. TheStallion has been closed so I getpeople parking there from LeeManor but this is by far some-thing else. Then you see carsall down the hotel -side entranceand behind there. Add the usedcar lot. Cars all over the place.Looks like 1,000 cars every-where all over from every angleyou look at. See less cars down-town Chicago. Think somebodyis taking advantage of the cityand when they permitted thatused car place there. Ridiculousas it looks terrible. That wholecorridor looks bad enough.

Chill OutOn Sunday the Bears were on,

but it was 48 degrees, so a ton ofpeople decided to take advan-

tage of the weather, and put upall their Xmas lights and decora-tions even before Thanksgiving.I can understand wanting totake advantage of the nice day,and skip the Bears, but do theyreally have to turn their lights onalready? Can't they at least waituntil after turkey day? Everyyear the rush to celebrate Xmasgets earlier, with a certain radiostation playing Xmas music on11/1, and the TV commercialspopping up on 10/30. Xmas wasnever meant to be two monthslong. Come on folks, lets leavethe lights off until December.The same people who light uptheir houses before T -day arethe same ones who can't waitto take them down on 12/26,and don't even leave them onfor New Year's. Last I checked,New Year's was considered partof the "holidays". Thanksgivingis a separate and distinct holidayin its own right. not connectedto Xmas. Let's give it its due.

Where's Outrage?Re: The $15.2 million parking

garage Des Plaines governmentwants to build. The Des Plainestaxpayers should be outraged bythis. Construction of a new four -level, 274 -stall parking garagebehind Des Plaines City Halland the downtown Des PlainesPolice Station. Why is thisneeded? To give free parking topeople going to the Des PlainesTheatre? To give free parkingto the government workers? Togive free parking to the visi-tors of the surrounding condo-miniums? What about the futurecosts to maintain this 274 -cargarage? It's going to cost a lot ofmoney. Are we going to chargepeople to park in it? We should.With more people using Uberand Lyft and the Metra train,do we really need more parkingspaces? Let's avoid the cost.Contact the Des Plaines alder-men and express your concerns.Attend the Des Plaines meet-ings and voice your concerns.Thanks.

Traffic Alert

I live in Mount Prospectand drove down River Roadto Northwest Highway. I havenever seen such a backup beforethe railroad tracks and on North-west Highway to Graceland. Ihad to go back south and west toRoute 83. Traffic was horribleand no police directing traffic. Isuggest avoiding the area untilafter construction whatever isbeing done.

Who Can Explain?

I don't understand thecomplaint that states that thereason Mr. Trump should not beremoved from office is becausehe was "duly elected" by thepeople. Granted, he was dulyelected; but any public officialwho gets removed from officehas been "duly elected" or "dulyappointed," but they still getremoved. Am I right?

Impeach? NyetPresident Trump's loyal base

of supporters gets a real kickout of what they do. They lovetaunting liberals. They just can'tget enough of it. They especiallylove it when Democrats spewoutrage in response to someof the things they support nowthat they have a president whosupports them. It's exactly whythey elected him and put up withall his nonsense. It's never beenabout anything else but spite.They feel Democrats have longdisrespected them. Trump ispayback. It's not about patrio-tism, or making anything greatagain and never was. It's aboutsticking it to the Clinton andObama crowd, pure and simple.And the impeachment hearingsare their crowning achievement.They believe that Democratsare now so hysterically crazythat they've set in motion theirown demise with these hearings.They love it all and believe itwill lead to a landslide reelec-tion victory for Trump in 2020.Hey, it's where we're at as acountry now. Deal with it.

Fix This

It's 4:30 on a Sunday after-

noon and people still can't readthe sign that says, "Right lane,turn right on State Street" goingsouth on Wolf Road. Maybe weneed a bigger sign. Maybe weneed a cop sitting there. I almostget hit every single time. This isridiculous. Someone needs to fixthis. Thank you.

Here's An Idea

Good morning, Speak Out.This is Al from Des Plaines. I'vebeen getting recurring phonecalls from some award serviceon my car. They keep warningme that my warranty is going tobe running out and everything.The easy way to settle this is tellthem the car has been repos-sessed for not making payments.You know what? You'll neverhear from them again. Try it, itworks. I guarantee it.

DisagreesYes, the recent bad rap of U.S.

Congressman Brad Schneider,from the 10th (Congressional)District, I believe is unfounded.Number one, he just came toour veteran meeting and gave agreat talk. Two, his son is in theNavy. Three, he does support theUnited States and those of themilitary. Thank you.

Stop Wasting

Yes, this is for Speak Out. I'mgreatly disturbed at the moneythat Dist. 26 is spending to try totake over the building that theyhave legally leased to a tenant.They tried a referendum. I don'tunderstand. Knowing that gradelevel centers would have solvedthis problem via short term. Thatwe didn't go with grade levelcenters. Stop wasting all thetaxpayers' money. Everyone onthat board should be removedfor this debacle.

Improve ParkHello, I'm calling regard-

ing Speak Out. Terrace Park inNiles which is the armpit of theNiles Park District. I see themworking on the park every sooften. It's the park that has nowalking path, no sidewalks, nopaved parking. We have rust, wehave water that spilled under thebleachers and into the baseballdiamond. You really can't walkaround the park sometimes with-out wearing a snorkel and flip-pers. Please consider paving theparking lot, creating a parking

lot and a walking path aroundthe park. I think we are the onlypark without a path and pleasedo that before building up GolfMill Park.

Whose Money?

Hello, I'd just like to informpeople that when you go topurchase your 2020 license platestickers, be sure to bring $50more with you. It will cost you$150 to purchase a 2020 licenseplate sticker and my question is,where is all this money going?I thought Illinois was goingbroke. Thank you.

Step In, AG

I believe it's a shame that thegovernor of the State of Illinoishas signed his own executiveorder to accept an order to granthim a license to steal police andfire hard-earned pension funds.There is no reason for this. TheIllinois attorney general needs tostep in and put out a cease anddesist order. You know that Gov.Pritzker must be eating with twoforks. Thank you.

Wants New Leaders

The residents of MountProspect, living in Dist. 26, havebeen given a double -bad deal.The truck fees at the village arewasting money, have no direc-tion of what they are going todo with Block 56 and Dist. 26 isled by people who are spendingtaxpayer money in situationsthat they should never have got-ten into such as the recent ordealwith the lease of the Montessorischool. They had to pay feesto go to court, which they areobviously trying to break thelegal lease. What does that take?We need a complete change ofleadership in both Dist. 26 andthe village.

Any Truth?Heard that the White Eagle

restaurant is closing. Any truthto this?

(Ed. Note: Our Niles re-porter spoke to White Eagleownership. They did close theWhite Eagle restaurant forrenovations recently, but willreopen. Banquet operationshave remained uninterrupted.They have live entertainmentscheduled for New Year'sEve.)

Foul Trouble Haunts WarriorsWest Win StreakSnapped ByMontini At 44

By DION MARTORANOJournal & Topics Sports

All good things must come to anend, and that goes for Maine Westgirls basketball as well.

Maine West's 44 -game winstreak was snapped by Montiniafter a 41-40 loss Saturday, Dec.7 at Fremd in the ChicagolandInvitational Showcase.

The Warriors found themselvesin a tough situation in the secondhalf. Maine West star AngelaDugalic (17 points, 9 rebounds)picked up her fourth foul less than aminute into the third quarter. DylanVan Fleet (12 pts ., 4 steals) pickedup her fourth foul in the fourthquarter and quickly got called forher fifth foul to take her out of thegame with 5:50 to play. Lena Alboalso picked up her fourth foul inthe fourth quarter. Albo, Dugalicand Van Fleet were all the return-ing starters from last year's statechampionship team.

"They handled some prettystressful situations I think outthere ," Maine West coach Kim de-Marigny said. "Angela did a greatjob staying on the floor that long(with 4 fouls). I was really proudof her for that. Dylan puts her heartand soul into everything she does.She couldn't hold back."

While Van Fleet fouled out, Du-galic and Albo were able to make itto the end, but they couldn't be asaggressive as they normally are.

"I'm just trying to encouragethem to use their feet on defense,stop reaching and hacking, andbe smart," deMarigny said. "Atthe end of the day, they are stillkids and they make poor choicessometimes. It's not their fault, Ifault myself for not having themconditioned the way they need tobe. I didn't play that many people.I'm asking a lot of them (the start-ers). It's really on me."

It was a challenge for MaineWest late, especially with VanFleet, who is arguably the topdefender, sitting on the bench afterfouling out.

"It's difficult to not have herbecause her hands are so fast,"deMarigny said. "She has a nosefor the ball. (Derril) Kipp usedto say, put your head on the ball.Dylan puts her head on the ball.She is low to the ground and avery good defender. She inspireseveryone else to play aggressive.Without her we were lookingaround and had some young kidsstep up. Brianna (Hernandez)and Jaclyn (Riedl) both steppedup (late)."

Maine West trailed 38-36 whenVan Fleet was removed from thegame. The Warriors responded

Montini's Angelina Giordanomissed a free throw with 25.8seconds left to keep the Warriorshopes alive and Maine Westfreshman Jaclyn Riedl (7 pts.)was fouled with 25.1 left on theclock. Her first free throw missed,but she sunk the second shot to cutthe deficit to 41-40.

West was able to keep Montinifrom scoring and Riedl dove on aloose ball with 15.5 seconds left togive the Warriors possession.

With under 6 seconds left, an in -bounds pass was tossed to Riedl inthe paint, but her shot was blockedand the streak was over.

"It didn't end the way we wantedit to, but this is a growing oppor-tunity for us," deMarigny said."We have to learn and get better.Montini has a very good team, Ican't take anything away fromthem. This is squarely on me. Wehaven't gone through end of thegame situations yet."

Maine West was so dominantover the last year, they haven'thad many close games that camedown to the end.This season alone,they beat opponents by 14, 16,27, 36, 24, 41, 28 and 51 points.Last season they beat Evanston

"Teams go through it," Prospectcoach John Camardella said ofrough patches. "The key is stayingthe course. I always tell them youare not your record.

Prospect blasted out a 5-0 runto start the second quarter thatextended to a 9-1 run with 3:47to go in the first half. With a22-14 lead, things looked goodfor Prospect, but Hersey scoredthe final 6 points of the quarter,all with under 2 minutes in thehalf to enter the break with theKnights up 22-20.

Prospect scored the first 4 pointsof the third quarter to extend thelead to 26-20, but Hersey raced toan 8-0 run to lead 28-26. Just asthey did earlier, Prospect respond-ed with a 5-0 run to lead 31-28.Every time Prospect tried to runaway, Hersey clawed back.

2 steals, 2 blocks) with 19.4 sec-onds left and a 2 -point bucket atthe buzzer by Luke Martin to cutthe lead down to 42-40 enteringthe fourth quarter.

When Maine West and MaineEast meet up in boys basketball,it's always a spirited rivalry and achallenge. The two teams hookedup Friday night (Dec. 6) in theopener of the Central SuburbanNorth League competition in ParkRidge. The teams both startedslowly in the Thanksgiving tour-nament play with Maine West 1-3and Maine East 0-3.

The vocal crowd expected aclose game and it lived up to theirexpectations for three quarters;however, the Maine West War-riors broke open the game in thefinal period to come away witha 56-43 victory over the MaineEast Demons. The game featuredseveral turnovers and some poor

outside shooting."The game wasn't a classic,"

Maine West head coach TomProkopij said. "It was a physicalgame with some erratic shootingwith 3 -point distance. I guess that'swhat basketball is today, a gameof 3 -point shots."

The Demons never led but therewere three ties. Maine West brokean 8-8 tie with a 7-0 run to take a15-8 lead into the second quarter.Maine Fast, silenced for over fourminutes , began to cut into the War-riors lead trailing 20-19 with 1:20left in the first half. Maine West'sJared Pearson hit a 20 -footer thenthe Warriors outscored Maine East7-2 in the final minute to take a27-21 lead into the half.

"It seemed like we began to chipaway at the Maine West lead, butthey always seemed to answerus back with a 3 -pointer," MaineEast head coach David Genis said."Maine West's outside shootingwas a factor in the second half."

In the third quarter with 54seconds left, Maine Fast captainJason Dedios and Shiv Aminhelped cut into the Warrior leadto tie the game at 34-34. MaineWest's AJ Ross immediately fol-lowed up the Demons spurt withtwo 3 -pointers from exactly thesame spot on the court.

Maine West's Daniel Prietocame off the bench to spark MaineWest to a 40-34 lead startingthe final quarter. The Demons

The Demons were down 47-43with time running out. Maine Eastwas forced to foul. Genis disap-proved of some of the officials'calls and was slapped with a tech-nical foul. The Warriors scoredthe final 9 points of the game -- 6from the foul line -- to preservetheir first league win. Maine Westoutscored Maine East 22-9 in thegame's nine minutes.

Maine East, through four games,lacks scoring punch; averaging 43points in their four defeats.

"We have showed some flashesat times," Genis said. "We havesome experience back from lastseason and we have players that canshoot and handle the basketball butwhen I give them instruction duringthe game they get confused andthey don't tell me if they don't un-derstand. I think it's time to go backto the drawing board again."

Dedios for Maine Fast led all -scorers with 14 while Maine Westhad balanced scoring with 11 fromRoss; 10 from Kentgen; and 9 eachfrom Pearson and Glaister.

Fremd Beats Warren InBattle Of Free ThrowsBy DION MARTORANOJournal & Topics Sports

If you are a fan of free throws, thenSaturday's boys basketball battle betweenFremd and Warren was your game.

Fremd traveled to Warren for a noncon-ference affair, but it felt like a marathonat times instead of a basketball game. Thefourth quarter, though, was a challenge forboth teams . Fremd and Warren combined for34 free throw attempts in the fourth quarterand 56 overall in the game.

Fremd (3-3) escaped with a 64-48 winafter hitting 15 -of -21 fourth quarter freethrows. Warren made 8 -of -13 shots fromthe charity stripe in the final quarter asthe two teams combined to make 23 -of -34fourth quarter free throws.

"I haven't seen (a quarter like that) in awhile," Fremd coach Bob Widlowski saidafter 34 free throws in the fourth quarter."I've seen that before, but it's been a while.The last three minutes of the game tookabout a half hour in real time. That was alot of free throws going back and forth. Wehit our free throws and that allowed us towin the game."

Over the course of the game, the two teamsmade 34 -of -56 free throws. Fremd made17 -of -26 and Warren made 17 -of -30.

Fremd started hot, leading 14-5 after onequarter and 27-13 at half. The Vikings led35-17 early in the third quarter after a 7-2run. Warren responded with an 8-0 run to cutthe lead to 35-25 , but the Vikings respondedwith a 10-2 run to end the third quarter.

"We knew they would make a run in thesecond half," Widlowski said. "I think wedid a good job keeping our composure andfinishing down the stretch."

The Vikings started the fourth quarter up45-27 and extended the lead to 47-27 aftera Jake Schoffstall (21 points) bucket earlyin the final quarter.

Warren went on a 12-1 run to cut thelead to 48-39, but the Vikings wouldn'tallow the Blue Devils to make the completecomeback. Schoffstall was fouled with 2:57

to play. He hit 1 -of -2 free throws, but itkickstarted the long final few minutes ofthe game. From 2:57 to 1:57 on the clock,the two teams combined to shoot 13 freethrows in one minute of gameplay.

In the final 1:50 of play, Fremd hit 8 -of -10shots from the line.

The Vikings also received contributionsfrom Max Wexley (17 points), CharlieTowns (12 pts .), Russ Beaupre (5 pts.), Kay -man Hopkins (4 pts.), Matt Wingen (3 pts.)and Eli Schoffstall (2 pts.). While he didn'tscore, Widlowski said he was impressedwith senior Tafara Okammor.

"He played his best game so far," Wid-lowski said of Okammor. "Tafara came offthe bench when we had foul trouble andstepped in there and did a real nice job forus. We are very pleased with how he steppedinto the situation."

Fremd improved to 3-3 this season andrebounded from a 46-42 loss to PalatineFriday in the neighborhood rivalry game.Fremd was led by Jake Schoffstall (25 pts.)in the Palatine loss, while the Pirates wereled by Luke Seiffert (20 pts.) and JulianCampbell (15 pts.).

The Vikings are continuing to improve,which is what Widlowski cares most aboutat this point of the season.

"We are building and most importantlywe are playing better," Widlowski said. "Weare better now than we were two weeks ago.Our kids have the right attitude and we arelooking to move forward."

D211, BG/H/WWork Way To TieBy STEPHEN GORDONJournal & Topics Sports

The combined team ofConant/Hoffman Estates/Fremd/Schaumburg/Pala-tine (D2 I 1 Chiefs) tookon the Buffalo GrovelHersey/Wheeling Stam-pede Sunday afternoon atWest Meadows Ice Arenain Rolling Meadows. Bothteams battled back and forthfor most of the contest, butin the end, both settled fora 1-1 draw.

"1 think it was good forus today to get some workin playing in our own zoneand working on our of-fense," D211 coach BobVeller said. "We normallywould not play these guys(BG/H/W) during the regu-lar season because they arein the Champions Divisionand we are in the lowerGold Division of the IHSHLNorth-Central. So it was agood test for us."

Both teams were able toget work in on both ends ofthe ice along with killingpenalties and creating scor-ing chances.

"BG had a lot of scoringopportunities today, whichis what we wanted to see,"Veller said. "With them hav-ing those chances it gave usopportunities to work on ourdefensive coverage againsta fast team and it was good.Especially only giving upone goal."

After a scoreless first andsecond period. D211 finallygot on the board when for-ward Aldan Halloran scoredwith 7:45 remaining in regu-lation time making it 1-0.

However, their lead wouldonly last over two minutesas Stampede forward MaxPekay (Wheeling) scoredan unassisted goal with 5:29remaining making it 1-1.

"Aidan has had a goodyear so far for us and hasbeen skating really well forus as of late," Yeller said."Our goalie Dan Baker alsohad a nice game for us. Hemade the save when he hadto and made some spectacu-lar saves for good measure.We are still working justtrying to build offensivemomentum once he doesmake that save and we startup ice."

For Stampede coach ChrisWaters, the game was in-dicative of what the seasonhas been like thus far for theStampede.

"This game today is likewhat our season has beenlike: up and down," Waterssaid. "Of course we try toget something out of everygame. But today I did notget anything out of this andI don't think the players dideither."

Each team was called foreight penalties apiece, butcould not capitalize on theman -advantage.

Perhaps the best thingfor the Stampede will be

getting out of town nextweekend as they travel toCulver, IN, to take part in atournament hosted by Cul-ver Military Academy. Forthe D211 Chiefs, they facePREP Saturday at 8 p.m. atWest Meadows followedby a visit from Lane TechSunday at 4:15 p.m. also atWest Meadows.

by 5 points in overtime and NewTrier by 8 points. Those were theonly teams within 10 points ofthe Warriors over the previous43 games.

It ended a thrilling game thatwas tied six times and featuredeight lead changes.

The first quarter and a half be-longed to Maine West, but Montininever gave up.

Maine West trailed 6-4 early on,but responded with a 10-0 run inthe first quarter to go ahead 14-6for the largest lead of the day byany team. Montini's Sophie Sul-

livan (12 pts.) scored late in theopening quarter to stop the bigrun and West entered the secondquarter up 14-8.

Montini didn't score its firstpoint of the second quarter untilthere was 4:03 left in the halfwhen Tatiana Thomas (7 pts.)scored an and -one for 3 points.That kickstarted a 15-4 run overthe next 2:51 to take a 23-19 lead.Van Fleet drew a foul with 6.2seconds left in the opening halfand sank both free throw shots tocut Montini's lead down to 23-21entering half. Tars Thornton (10pts.) scored 8 points in the quarterto spark the run.

Maine West changed a fewthings up in the second half as they

battled foul problems, but Dugalicmanaged to score 10 points in thefinal two quarters with 4 fouls.

"I'm proud of how she handledthis," deMarigny said of Dugalic."She is a first class kid and firstclass athlete. Who else wouldI rather have on the floor thanher?"

Even after the game, Dugalicsent a message to Montini's girlsbasketball Twitter account to tellthem they (Montini) played agreat game.

"Although it didn't turn out theway I wanted, I had a lot of funplaying your team because wedon't get a lot of competition,"Dugalic said on Twitter to Montini."Good luck the rest of the season

and hopefully we'll see each otherat state on the floor again."

The Montini girls basketballTwitter account screenshot themessage and replied back say-ing, "This defines class! (AngelaDugalic) is the number 1 rankedkid on and off the court! @Chi-HoopsExpress (Dugalic's clubprogram) should be proud as wellas Maine West. Who does this!Incredible class."

Girls(Continued from page 5AA)

Mary Fendley wanted to see im-provement on.

"I think in the first half, wemade 6 -of -9 3 -pointers, which wassignificantly higher than our freethrow percentage (Hersey made5 -of -11 free throws in the first half,9 -of -15 overall)," Fendley said. "Idon't know how that happens. Wehaven't seen much zone this year.It didn't last very long, we werejust lights out."

Eidle wasn't the only Herseyplayer scoring against the Knights.Mary McGrath (17 pts.), MaryKate Fahey (13 pts., 7 assists) andNatalia Kubsik (8 pts.) all were

strong contributors. Fendley wasproud of Kubsik's performancein the game and overall thisseason.

"She's been our most consistentrebounder and most consistentkid on both sides of the paint,"Fendley said of Kubsik. "She isreally a force down there. She isgoing to get our player of the gamefor us today. She wreaks havoc inthe paint."

While the inside game wasstrong, Hersey also made eight3 -pointers as a team with six play-ers hitting at least one.

"I think that's a good team,"Fendley said of Prospect. "We justplayed really, really well againstthem. I don't think the score wasreflective of how good a team they

are. I did not expect to score 70points on Prospect. We just playedexceptionally well. I think thisteam is going to come together.We are going to be, if we are notyet, one of the best teams in thearea. I think we showed today weare getting there."

Hersey led 25-13 after one quar-ter and 41-22 at half. The Knightstried to claw back in the thirdquarter, but Hersey outscored them12-11.1n the fourth quarter, Herseyoutscored Prospect 18-13.

While Hersey led start to fin-ish, Prospect sophomore AndieWill (17 pts., 3 3 -pointers) didall she could to keep the Knightssomewhat in the game.

"Andie is quickly becoming oneof our youngest leaders," Miller

said. "She is wise beyond her yearson the court and she is constantlyworking to see her teammates andbe as unselfish as possible, whichis not a characteristic that you canteach. That comes from Andiebeing Andie. She wants the bestfor the team and isn't afraid to bevocal about it. It has been fun towatch her continue to grow andlead on and off the court."

Fendley said you always stepup a bit when it comes to rivalrygames and that's what the Huskiesdid against Prospect.

It was a great weekend overallfor the Huskies, who also receivedvotes in the AP poll Wednesday.

Hersey picked up an impres-sive 68-56 win over Bartlett (5-4)Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Chica-

goland Invitational Showcase atFremd to improve to 7-2 overallwith 6 consecutive wins. Eidle,the freshman star, dropped 32points against Bartlett to lead theHuskies. Hersey's McGrath alsoscored 16 points in the win.

Friday was Hersey's final homegame of 2019 and of the decade,with the next home game com-ing Jan. 8, 2020 against Conant.Hersey plays in the Exam Jammat Lake Zurich, Tuesday, Dec. 10against Lake Park, before roadgames against Elk Grove (Dec.13), New Trier (Dec. 14), St. Via -tor (Dec. 16) and Buffalo Grove(Dec. 20). The 2019 side of theschedule ends Dec. 26-12/30 atthe Montini Christmas Tourna-ment.

Boys(Continued from page 4AA)Hersey's Andrew Wagner (10

pts., 4 rebounds) tied the gameat 49-49, but the Knights wentahead 51-49 after a pair of freethrows by Woloch with 1:33 to go.With 58.4 seconds left, Prospect'sLarsen made 1 -of -2 free throwsas Hersey's James Nolan (8 pts.,5 rebounds, 3 assists) fouled out.Prospect's Owen Schneider (5pts.) made 1 -of -2 free throwswith 24.7 seconds left to make it53-49. Hersey 's Wagner scored tomake it 53-51, but Larsen hit a free

throw with 11.9 seconds to go toput Prospect up 54-51.

Hersey tried to get a shot offlate with Wagner, but the shot fellshort, ending the thriller.

"(Hersey) Coach (Austin) Scottruns incredible sets and runs a lotof misdirection," Camardella said."They got a great look. We talkedabout guys looping off. Thereis no way you will know everyteam's special plays this early inthe season. I was proud of howour guys defended it. They got ahand up and caused just enoughof an alteration that we were ableto walk away with the win."

A number of players stepped up

late for the Knights. Larsen, oneof the late game heroes hit 3 -of -6free throws in the fourth quarterand stellar defense despite playingwith four fouls.

"Defensively we were playingwith a lot of lineups with Dini(bloodied in fourth quarter) out,"Camardella said. "We had ourother guys come off the bench,ready to play.They stepped into bigmoments. It's why these guys arealways prepping. That Thanksgiv-ing tournament (at St. 'Viator) wastough, we played a lot of reallygood teams. We got better as a teamand I'm glad we were able to pullone out on the road tonight."

The Knights defense did agreat job as the Hersey offensestruggled at points. The Huskiesshot 21 -for -57 overall, including4 -of -16 from beyond the arc.

"They had offensive reboundsand we missed box outs," Herseycoach Austin Scott said. "We'll bealright, we are a work in progress."Hersey senior Daniel Clawson (9pts.) battled hard to try and fireup the crowd in the third quarter,scoring 5 points and helped keepthe Huskies in the fight.

"Coming in I knew it would be ahard fought battle to the end and itwould be a close game," Clawsonsaid. "Whoever did the little thingsthe best would come out on top. Iwas trying to bring more energy tothe table and get things going."

Hersey and Prospect each

brought great fan sections, pump-ing each side up in the rivalrygame. Clawson said he feeds offthe energy of the crowd.

Clawson said the team needs togo back to the basics for certainthings, like rebounding on freethrows, better possessions andget a few passes in before takinga shot.

Prospect returned to the courtSaturday and defeated Lake Forest56-36 to improve to 3-3 this sea-son. Woloch (20 pts., 4 rebounds)led the Knights with Larsen (10pts .), Marco Shaw (9 pts.) and RobLombardo (9 pts.). Prospect led15-13 after one quarter and 28-25at half, before pulling away.

Barb Sorensen performs year round at reenactments, festivals, cultural centers and outdoor events.

Christmas Concerts Are Latest InSorensen's Long Musical CareerBy DENISE FLEISCHERLifestyle Editor

For four years, Palatine resi-dent Barb Sorensen has pre-sented a Community ChristmasConcert series. Three, one -hour,candlelit, classically styled,family -friendly concerts havebeen booked as her way of giv-ing back to the community. She'shoping to increase that numberto five.

Sorensen performs year roundat reenactments, festivals, cul-tural centers and summer outdoorevents. Last Saturday (Dec. 8),she played at St. John's UnitedChurch in Hampshire. Two dayslater (Dec. 10), she was scheduledto play at The Bakester Cafe &Patisserie in Arlington Heights;Dec. 15 at Lazy Boy FurnitureGallery in Lake Zurich.

Dressed in a ballgown, she

planned to sing traditionalChristmas songs in German,English, Norwegian, Greek,French and Polish during thisweek's performance in ArlingtonHeights.

Originally from Rolling Mead-ows, Sorensen was active intheatre, science and band atRolling Meadow High School .AtLoyola University she receiveda Bachelor's degree in chemistryand minored in music. Her jobin a chemistry lab lasted abouta month before she said thatwas enough. She jumped intomusic, feeling more at home asa vocalist, sax player, pianist andguitarist.

The only problem was that thebands she was involved in keptbreaking up. That led her to goingsolo in the `80s and organizingher own back-up band.

"My main gig is original pop

rock. I've written over 100 songs.They keep coming everyday,"said Sorensen. "It's just mu-sic. I'm not trying to push anyagenda. I get my inspirationfrom farming, fun adventures,personal experiences, whateverI'm inspired by."

Sorensen also sings Germanfolk songs during Civil War,World War I and II reenactments.For the most part, she's there toentertain, but the reenactors areinterested in learning these songsas well.

"Music is who I am. It comesnaturally to me. I' m blessed," saidSorensen. "I see a vital need inthe world. I write what inspiresme and provide a lighter perspec-tive. My audience enjoys it and Ienjoy doing it."

While she's following herdream, she also hopes to establishan organic farm.

She described the value of

traveling and the new perspec-tives she gained on her two -

month trip from Scandinavia toTunisia, Africa. She also sharedhow her education and differentcourses at Maine East helped hercommunicate and appreciate hertravels more.

Each month, schools cansubmit a student contributionto Fra Noi's Editor -in -ChiefPaul Basile to be featured in themagazine. Italian and Spanishteacher Toni Campisciano Un-garo contacted Basile in hopesthat Lapinski's unique take ontraveling would be considered,and she was chosen for themagazine.

In addition, she brought adrone with her to Italy, andwith it, captured videos of Italy,which she uploaded to Youtube athttps://www.youtube.comichan-nel/UCbT4B4VrHMa_Cahr6D-vlsvg.

Teaching herselfediting techniques and how totake proper videos has becomeLapinski's hobby, which is whyshe was excited to use her newdrone in Italy instead of herGoPro.

She is the second Maine Eaststudent to be published in FraNoi. Several other studentshave made contributions to themagazine in the past.

Jamestown, Yorktown: Early America Learned In Riveting Detail

Historical Triangle On PointBy TODD WESSELLJournal & Topics Travel Editor

The sparkle of the blue skies and dangling white puffyclouds above Jamestown, Virginia, was. jaw -dropping.The cooling air and brightness of the day was enoughto announce that autumn had arrived. Leaves from anocean of trees that filled the grounds of the JamestownSettlement were slowly succumbing to a light breeze

from the north. Their canopies would not return foranother seven months to provide what then would bedesired summer shade.

Four hundred thirteen years ago, this region, locatedin what today is southeastern Virginia, was home toapproximately 14,000 Indians who were spread far andwide. They were united at the time by Chief Wahun-sonacock of the Powhatan tribe and had never seen a hu-man being other than their dark-skinned brothers. That

all changed on May 13, 1607 when 104 English menand boys rowed their small boats to shore from the shipsSusan Constant, Discovery and Godspeed. They worestrange clothing. All were white -skinned.

From that moment, everything changed. The rootsof what would become America had been planted. Theroots of slavery would soon be planted as well.

Those men and boys on the three ships endured the(Continued on page 9B)

The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown offers plenty of exhibits and displays that tell the story ofAmerica's defeat of British forces in 1781.

Jamestown(Continued from page 8B)

harsh voyage to the New Worldfor a variety of reasons. At thetop of their lists was a strongdesire for a better life far fromthe scourge of the old worldand a way to escape the law anddebtors. Greed was most promi-nent as well.

For the investors of theJamestown voyage, to establisha permanent English settle-ment they knew exactly whatthey wanted and they believedthey knew how to get it. Theythirsted for money and profits.They, however, came up empty-handed. The hopes and dreamsof the English passengers whowalked ashore in Jamestownvanished as well. Within a yearof their arrival, 80% had died ofeither disease or starvation.

Beaten as they were, therewas no surrender. Other expedi-tions followed bringing moremen, food and supplies. Hav-ing learned from the terriblemistakes that were made in 1607and becoming better equipped,the succeeding settlers persistedin eeking out ways to survive,and with the arrival of women in1619, to populate.

Jamestown is part of the His-torical Triangle where the earlyAmerican stories of Jamestown,Yorktown and Williamsburg aretold in fascinating understand-able fashion. In just the lastfew years, different and morecompelling ways of telling thesestories of growth, hardship anddisappointment have sprung upoffering visitors to the "Tri-angle" new and creative ways toimmerse themselves into learn-ing how the colony of Americawas created in the 150 yearsbefore the Revolutionary War.

As the exhibits at the Jame-stown Settlement Galleries telltheir stories, visitors hear andsee for themselves that the roadto a new, independent countrywith the guarantee of basichuman rights was a gradual

process. Those who experiencedthose times managed to perse-vere despite many heartbreakingobstacles. The museum bringsinto focus that the creation ofAmerica was made possible bythe hard work and sacrifices ofmen and women of all differ-ent shades of color and back-grounds. It explains that 1619-- 400 years ago -- was not onlythe year when the first group ofwomen arrived in the colony,but also the first slaves. Thatyear also brought the beginningof the farming of tobacco, ahighly profitable cash crop thatwas lusted after by Europeans.

A comprehensive tour ofJamestown takes a good day tocomplete. Its recent $10.6 mil-lion renovation includes a new4-D experiential theater withmulti -sensory special effectsthat tell of Bacon's Rebellion in1676, which was one of the firstsigns of the disgruntlement ofcolonists against their Englishmasters. Spread throughout themuseum's many galleries areartifact -filled cases, dioramas,portraits and short films. Oneof the facility's most inspir-ing exhibits is called "Tenac-ity: Women in Jamestown andEarly Virginia" It's convenientlylocated in the Rotunda of theSpecial Exhibition Gallery.Among its most notable andinspiring exhibits are the twowinding staircases where eachstep has written on it the namesof the first women to arrivein Jamestown from England.On the very first step is thename Pocohantas, who today isregarded as a national hero, hav-ing saved the life of settler JohnSmith just a few months after hehad arrived in 1607. She savedmany others as well.

The effect of the many dis-plays and the museum's themeis that it brings together thethree cultures that in the earlypart of the 17th century wereinstrumental in the developmentof the Virginia Colony. Theywere the Powhatan Indians, theEnglish settlers, and the African

slaves, the last of whom wereforced from their homes inAngola.

Over time the English wereable to push the Powhatan furthernorth and west, but not complete-ly out of the picture. Today, manymembers of the Indian tribe livein the general area and someeven serve on the JamestownSettlement Board of Directors.Over the next 170 years theEnglish expanded up and downthe continent's East coastline.Eventually the desire for homerule took hold. Most Americansborn in the colonies no longerwanted to be subjects of KingGeorge II. As for the Africansbrought to America against theirwill, their horrible story has yetto end. As America's roots wereplanted in Jamestown in 1607, sotoo were the roots of Americanslavery in 1619.

MOVIE SCENE BY MIKE POULOS

Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen in "Little Women."

`Little Women' Offers Refresher Course In Life"Little Women" (135 min,

Rated PG for some mild lan-guage, thematic elements, andbrief smoking). Rating: 8 outof 10.

Louise May Alcott's famoustwo -volume novel "Little Wom-en" has been one of America'sstaple novels capturing a periodof adjustment after the CivilWar as seen through the eyes offour teenage -to -young -womensisters living in New England.She drew from her own experi-ences being one of the sisters, JoMarch, the second eldest of thefour sisters -- and the insistenceof a local publisher to expandon her detailed notes of life withher sisters ended up producingthis iconic -piece of literature.Oddly, Alcott (the Jo character)was 36 at the time the novel waspublished. So, which era doesshe draw her material from'?

No matter, the novel remainsa mainstay in American lit-erature, which with this new-

est version, the eighth film ofthe novel to be made. Whenit was announced that actressGreta Gerwig ("Lady Bird") waswriting the script in 2016, thenmade its director in 2018, myfirst reaction was...not again.Reminiscent in style and detail,Alcott's approach was similar toCharlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre,"but especially to Jane Austen'sseries of English countrysideromance novels. Though set inAmerica and many years later,I believe these female authors,among others I'm sure, helpedfuel the aspirations of Alcott'swritings about her personalexperiences in bringing a girl-ish, feminine approach to itstargeted readers: women. Andthe films have all paid homageto its wholesome, kind-heartedcharacters, living in "genteelpoverty," whose joyous generos-ity and acts of love and charityfor those around them is infec-tious and inspiring.

Given the state of today's

stress and questionable values,always being challenged as timecontinues to redefine, if noterode, the lives of good-heart-edness and goodwill. Gerwighas turned the clocks back tocapture those innate human val-ues (and virtues) we sorely misstoday. Rated PG for only mildlanguage and thematic elements,it's as if the film came out in the1950s instilling us with the kindof goodness that defines thefour March sisters: Meg (EmmaWatson); Jo (Saoirse Ronan);Amy (Florence Pugh); and Beth(Eliza Scanlen). Though thisupdated version takes place inthe 1860s, it brings a subtle hintof modern feminism to the tablewith a contemporary air swirlingabout, yet careful to not wanderoutside the limits covered in thebooks (1868-69).

The spirit of the novels wasintended to capture the essenceor sisterhood, particularly duringthe tumultuous times just afterthe Civil War, each sister fac-

ing her own self-made destiny,managing their upbringing witha loving mother (Laura Dern),and a mostly absent father(Bob Odenkirk), off fightingin the war (but returning to bereunited with his family). Thepoverty the family faced wasminimal compared to truly be-ing impoverished, and the girlswere all proficient in the arts-- languages, music and litera-ture (that's where Jo comes in).So, their struggles weren't thatcompelling, and with a wealthybut crusty aunt overseeing themfrom a distance (Meryl Streep),the family was always welltaken care of and in good spirits,always looking at the bright sideof life.

A great deal of the booksinvolve the girls seeking theirown destinations in life, primar-ily marriage, because in thosedays, there wasn't much else forwomen to do. And for Jo, theLouise May Alcott alter ego,it was writing the books that

would make the March sistersthe emblem of feminine success.Gerwig has fashioned a respect-able adaptation of the books, notwandering far from the personasof the four girls, mother, andmost of the men who served asoutlets for them. There are somechanges to the men, their signifi-cance to the women, the mostprominent being the characterplayed by Timothee Chalamet.No matter...it's all within thecontext of the books, so richwith companionship.

There are countless sub-plots in the books that can't becovered here as lightly depictedin the movie, though I suspectthose of you familiar with thebooks, or movies, know themall too well. No surprises hereas Gerwig makes sure she'scaptured the most salient andimportant components to givethis "Little Women" the kind oftouch -- in values, love, kind-ness and generosity -- we allcould use more of these days.

`Jewell' Another SolidEffort From EastwoodBy MICHAEL POULOSJournal Film Critic

"Richard Jewell" (130 min, RatedR for language including some sexualreferences, and brief bloody images).Rating: 7 out of 10.

On July 26,1996, three small pipebombs tucked into a backpack placedunder a park bench in Centennial Park,Atlanta, during the Olympics summergames, exploded, killing two people andinjuring over 100. It would have beenfar worse if it weren't for the unortho-dox curiosity of security guard RichardJewell, tipping off the authorities of hissuspicions the abandoned backpack wasindeed a bomb. At the time of the explo-sion, an outdoor concert was going onwith a couple thousand fans in atten-dance. A depiction of how this incidenttook place and the aftermath of the inves-tigation that was conducted to apprehendthe perpetrator is the subject of ClintEastwood's "Richard Jewell."

In a word, the resulting investigation-- by the FBI no less -- was nothing shortof being a travesty of shoddy behaviorand miscarriage of justice in pointing thefinger solely at the one man who helpedsave countless lives: Richard Jewell (PaulWalter Hauser). The film is not only an in-dictment on the FBI's poor judgment andrush to conclusions with "no evidence,"only theories, and the shameful reportingconducted by the Atlanta Journal -Consti-tution that spurred on the whole investiga-tion, which turned into a comedy of errors.

Based mostly on the 1997 article"American Nightmare: The Ballad ofRichard Jewell" by Marie Brenner inVanity Fair, director Eastwood andscreenwriter Billy Ray have presented amostly accurate account of the wrongfulallegations leveled against Jewell that notonly ruined his life when it was provenhe was proven innocent, but makes astatement about just how flawed thecriminal justice system is. Countless sto-ries of phony investigations, faked evi-dence and prejudicial behavior continueto be called out in our justice system. Thetrumped-up charges against Jewell arejust one of thousands that go unreported.It's a sad commentary on the criminally -flawed American justice system.

The filmmakers have brought all ofthese facts to the forefront and givenRichard Jewell the respect and accoladesthat he was initially showered with;then turn him into a villain by employ-ing silly profiles that matched him assomeone who'd pull off such a heinouscrime. As depicted here, Richard (Hauser,briefly seen in "BlacKkKlansman" and"I, Tonya"), is a peace -loving, mild-mannered individual who is consumedwith law enforcement so fiercely, heseeks careers in this field, all leading tohis post as a security guard in Atlantaat the time of the 1996 Olympics. Hehas a checkered past, starting out as acollege campus security guard, then as apolice officer, running into trouble withcomplaints of his overzealous nature touphold the letter of the law. It's all donewith good intentions, merely overstatinghis boundaries trying to do his job.

Now living with his mother, Bobi(Kathy Bates), Richard, at first lauded forcalling attention to the suspicious back-pack, is now being hounded by the FBI, aswell as by print media, callously breakinga story that he fits the profile of an outcast,a misfit, a mama's boy, a loner looking forattention as the "fake hero." His life, andthat of his mother's, is turned upside downwith the FBI (Jon Hamm) and local news-paper (Olivia Wilde), convinced Richardfits the profile as a demented hero. It'sa tragedy this had to happen, and basedon absolutely no hard evidence, vilifyingthis poor, well-meaning man trying todo good, based on nothing but presumedguilt. Aiding Richard in fighting the accu-sations and case against him is crusading,anti-establishment, rogue attorney WatsonBryant (Sam Rockwell).

Though the film loses some of itspunch in the third act, it's a solid effortfrom veteran Eastwood (89!), this beinghis 40th directed film. Once again, he haschosen a story about a common man per-forming an act of heroism (think "Sul-ly"), but brought down by the authoritiesand media based on flawed presumptions.Paul Walter Hauser, in his first starringrole, delivers a convincing, committedperformance earning the respect anddignity the real Richard Jewell so richlydeserves. BTW: The real bomber, EricRudolph, was apprehended in 2002.Richard passed away in 2007 at age 44.

Adam Sandler in "Uncut Gems."

Sandler Puts On GemOf A PerformanceBy MICHAEL POULOSJournal Film Critic

"Uncut Gems" (134 min, Rated R formoments of strong violence, pervasivelanguage throughout, sexual content,and some nudity). Rating: 7 out of 10.

Funnyman and sometimes -dramaticactor Adam Sandler has unquestion-ably delivered his most profound andmemorable performance as a compulsive,out -of -control, and often out -of -luckloser, gambler and sleazeball jeweler whowon't stop until he's made the ultimatescore. With no previous source materiallisted, this original character and originalstory has a sense of familiarity as a mandriven to near insanity to scam, lie andcheat his way tlyough life until he's madethe score of his life. And even then, I'msure he wouldn't be satisfied...like somany obsessed and addicted gamblersto keep rolling the dice until you lose...then lose more...and then disappear intooblivion.

Set in NYC in 2012, where HowardRatner owns a high -end jewelry store inManhattan, you can see from the get -gothat the story about to unfold is goingto end badly for him. In just the first 15minutes, you seie him juggling his lifewith too many balls in the air, balancinghis penchant for making bad deals, usingpoor judgment,' stretching his relation-ships, using people who he owes moneyto...and doing all of this high -stakesgambling with is estranged wife (IdinaMenzel, who doesn't sing) and twochildren. He has ties with mob -like wise -guys, bets on sports, ruffles everyone'sfeather with his foul-mouthed, abrasivepersonality...and has time to have twoon -going affairs at the same time. In fact,the swanky apartment he keeps for him-self has a live-in lover (Julia Fox). Theother one works for him in his store.

I think you get the picture of howHoward operates -- and he's alwaysfrantic trying to live each day as if it washis last, in a mess of lies and deceptionthat has him owing a lot of unscrupu-lous people from bad bets. And thisis all on the cusp of getting divorced.Yet, Howard seems comfortable in allthe chaos as if it's the only lifestyle he

knows. He Simply won't stop until hefeels he's made the score of his life --though you can tell there is no ceiling forhim. He'll never be satisfied. Surround-ing this incredibly hectic time in his lifeis the delivery of a multi -geed rockcontaining opals mined in Africa thathe saw about on TV. Allegedly paying$100,000 for the rock, it took almost ayear of negotiating to finally receive theshipment -- illegally through customs,of course. Intending to auction it off (tomake a tidy profit), he instead shows itto basketball star Kevin Garnett (impres-sively playing himself) in his story whoupon seeing the precious gems embed-ded in the hand -sized rock, is transfixedand wants to buy it.

This set off an endless string of baddecisions by Howard to trade the opalsfor Garnett's 2008 championship ring(with the Boston Celtics), temporarilyuntil Garnett can win the gems when it'son the auction block. It gets far morecomplicated than that with Howard dodg-ing a barrage of low -life people he owesmoney to preceding this story while stillfinding time to bhang his mistress -- andbe at home with his family. The man hasno scruples or ethical boundaries. No onehas any true respect for the way Howarduses and abuses people, and even whenHoward finally does win the bet of hislife, he loses. He's a born loser whodoesn't know it.

With leading such a dangerous life,living on the edge of civility, with little orno moral standards, treating people likeobjects (except his mistresses), with nofinesse to his condescending way of do-ing business, he has no one to blame him-self. And he won't listen to anyone... heknows what everyone else doesn't. If thisis how Howard has been running -- andruining -- his life, there's no plausibleway he could have lived this long. Andthis bothered me about the character andthe film, in general. It's just too frantic.Still, I can't discount Sandler's outstand-ing performance, as if he was born toplay it. Writer -directors Josh and BennySafdie should be applauded for creatingsuch a colorful yet irritating man livingon the edge of disaster everyday of hislife. In the end, for Howard...his luckruns out and poetic justice prevails.

Insightful JourneyInto Actor'sTroubled PastBy MICHAEL POULOSJournal Film Critic

"Honey Boy" (94 min, RatedR for pervasive languagethroughout, brief moments ofviolence, sexual content, the-matic elements and drug use).Rating: 7 out of 10.

This semi -autobiographicalstory about young actor ShiaLaBeouf is so close to being amodem -day classic, I could tasteit. However, it's overly famil-iar theme about troubled childactors/actresses unable to copewith the psychological pressuresit can cause, then transitioninginto troubled adulthood, may bewell -taken, but all too mundane,and often simplified. Explosiveand penetratingly effective ondepicting the harsh atmospheresurrounding the young, giftedactor faced when he was 12,makes its points clear thatLaBeouf was destined to be dif-ficult to deal with down the line.

That statement has lived up

to its expectation, LaBeouf,only 33, has been in -and -outof trouble for years, in -and -outof rehab for substance abuse,disorderly conduct and even afelony. He's been in jail, threetimes. Yet, he has maintaineda consistent presence in mov-ies, with downtime when he'sbusy dealing with his behavioralmisgivings and inner -demonsto belligerent, downright anti-social. Steven Spielberg had hishands full when he did "IndianaJones and the Kingdom of theCrystal Skull" (2008) -- andsomehow managed to make two"Transformers" movies (2009,2011).

It was known then and nowin "Honey Boy" that LaBeouf isthe product of a lousy upbring-ing by his worthless, deadbeat,beer -drinking, foul-mouthed,abusive father. Surviving acombative upbringing with hisfather, Shia, a gifted child actor,pressed on with his buddingacting career, but carried with itall the phobias that come with

Shia LaBeouf in "Honey Boy."

constant verbal, and sometimesphysical, abuse leveled on himby his insensitive father. Withno mother to speak of, at least inthe time -period captured here,Shia (Otis, played here by Brit-ish actor Noah Jupe), in 1995,presumably 12 (actually 9), hewas subjected to neglect andbelittlement by his anti -socialfather (played here by LaBeoufhimself). As scripted byLaBeouf, he brings a penetrat-ing, stark and deeply troublingportrayal of this brief time in hischildhood. Scenes of LaBeouf in2005, played by Lucas Hedges,show him sequestered for coun-seling to get in touch with hisinner rage (Laura San Giacomoplays his therapist).

PUBLICNOTICE

Without public notices inthe newspaper, you're left guessing

Public notice is your rightto know about the issuesthat directly affect yourlife. And, you can easilyfind public notices in theJournal. Without publicnotices in the Journal,you're left to guess aboutwhat the government is

doing in your community and how elected officials are speding your taxdollars.

The Journal fulfills an essential role in serving your right to know. Afterall, it shouldn't be your responsibility to know how to look ... where tolook ... and even what to look for in order to be informed about publicinformation. It is the government's responsibility to notify you of publicinformation, and the Journal is the most accessible place to find it:

JOURNAL& Topics Newspapers

From what I've been reading,LaBeouf has been trying veryhard to put all of this behindhim, taking on lesser -profiled,character -driven roles like"American Honey" (2016) andrecently "Peanut Butter Fal-con." Spearheading making thisfilm with director Alma Har'el,it seems LaBeouf is initiat-ing self -healing by addressingthe elephant in the room. He'strying to transform himselfthrough this movie, confront-ing the bitter issues of the pastto make for a brighter future.It's a self -aware, unapologeticway for his past digressions andill-mannered behavior. At leastthis way he has documentedthe causes for it, portraying his

father in an extremely negativeway, as if to say it wasn't hisfault. Displaying symptoms ofPTSD (Vietnam war vet), hisfather was unkind to everyone,not just his son.

Whether this film proves tobe therapeutic or not, remains tobe seen if LaBeouf has indeedturned a corner to being morerespectful and civil in his loftycareer as a talented actor. "Hon-ey Boy" is an introspective andinsightful journey into the darkregions that he had to endurethat at least brings a perspectiveto why he has been such a diffi-cult force on the sets of his films-- and in personal life. Only timewill tell how helpful this painfuljourney was for him.

4 Ways To Give Gift Of Music Over Holidays(StatePoint) The holiday season is the

perfect time of year to bring the gift of musicinto others' lives. Here are four thoughtfulways to do so:

Holiday Caroling: Spread cheer andmusical joy by caroling in your community.Some caroling groups perform at nursinghomes and shelters, while others pound thepavement with the purpose of raising moneyfor a good cause. Consider forming yourown charity caroling group and donatingthe proceeds to the coffers of a local musiceducation program.

Gift an Instrument: Give a loved onethe tools needed to create music at home.Whether you're shopping for a novice or aprofessional , today's portable digital pianosare equipped with smart features that will suityour recipient's needs. With a sleek glossypanel and unibody chassis, the PX-S1000from Casio, for example , evokes a high -end

acoustic grand in a slender design that's notmuch larger than the keys themselves. Afully weighted Smart Scaled Hammer Ac-tion keyboard provides an uncompromisingpiano touch with a proprietary key scalingsystem that reproduces the characteristicsof each of the 88 notes.

Gift a Performance: Check local listingsfor upcoming concerts and performancesand give your favorite music enthusiaststickets to a show. Many venues offer giftcertificates, which will give recipients theopportunity to select their own gifts.

Host a Movie Marathon: When it comesto most holiday movies, it's all about thesoundtrack, and some of the most pivotalscenes hinge on song and dance. For yourholiday party this year, consider hosting amovie marathon. Invite all your friends andfamily to enjoy the sounds of the season.You can even bill it as a sing -along.

Visiting Family OverHolidays? Road TripTips For Seniors

(StatePoint) When thinkingabout road trips, you might en-vision college kids heading onadventures, but older adults takeroad trips, too, according to arecent survey by Cigna.

Travel is a top priority for 37%of older adult respondents in thesurvey. In fact, more than 30%said they take three or more tripsannually. Many of these trips takeplace during the holiday seasonwhen older adults hit the road tovisit children and grandchildren.

With automobiles topping thelist of older adults' favorite waysto travel , Cigna is offering helpfultips for heading out on the highwaythis holiday season.

Get shut -eye. The NationalSleep Foundation recommendspeople 65 years and older getseven to eight hours sleep nightly.Unfortunately, 17% of older adultsresponding to the survey indicatedthey have trouble maintainingsleep schedules when traveling.According to the National High-way Traffic Safety Administration,91,000 crashes occurred in 2017due to drowsy driving, resulting

in 50,000 injuries and nearly 800deaths. Repeated yawning is thefirst warning sign that it's time topull over and rest.

Stretch your legs. Some long-distance travelers are at risk of apotentially dangerous conditioncalled deep vein thrombosis, ac-cording to the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention. Thoughyou should talk to your doctor ifyou feel you're at risk, it's a goodidea for everyone to take breaks tostretch and walk around.

Keep eyes healthy. Goodeyesight is critical to safe driv-ing. Before long trips, make sureyou've had an eye exam and yourprescription is up-to-date. ManyMedicare Advantage plans coverannual eye exams and glasses.

Prioritize safety. Twelve per-cent of older adults responding tothe survey said they travel alone.Solo travelers should prioritizesafety. Tell friends and familyyour route, destination and whento expect you. Also, check in oc-casionally so they know your tripis progressing well.

percent of traveling seniors havedifficulty eating healthfully whiletraveling, according to the survey.Avoid stocking the car with junkfood. Instead, pack nutritioussnacks, like fruits and vegetables.Plan ahead, finding restaurants withhealthy fare along your route. If youhave to eat fast food, make healthychoices like salads. Finally, drinkwater instead of soda. It's healthierand will better hydrate you.

Pack prescriptions. Accord-ing to the Cigna survey, 96% ofsenior travelers get a large enough

prescription supply to last theentire trip. One way to do this isby getting a 90 -day fill.

Write down your medicationschedule and the names and num-bers of your doctors and pharmacyin case you need them. If you havequestions about changing timezones, talk to your pharmacistbefore leaving. Always carrymedications in their original la-beled containers to prevent anyonefrom mistaking them for othersubstances.

6) Practice What You Preach!Kids are more likely to respondto actions over words, so makesure that you're setting a goodexample. Don't send emails at thedinner table. Never text and drive.Make eye contact when you talk.Last but not least: always put rela-tionships -- especially with yourchildren -- before devices.

According to Courtney Mc-Cormick ,dietitian at Nutrisystem,these are the five biggest holidaytemptations and how to managethem.

Temptation #1: Parties: Toavoid temptation at holiday gather-ings, never walk into one hungry.No amount of willpower will stopyou from rushing the dessert tableif you arrive on an empty stomach.Before you go, have a good, bal-anced meal that includes protein,veggies and plenty of water. Even ifyou do treat yourself to a Christmascookie once there, you've donesome substantial damage control.

Temptation #2: SkippingWorkouts: Exercise frequencydrops off dramatically onceweather gets cold and messy, ac-

Ifq

cording to a Gallup poll. If youdon't have a gym membership,investing in a few key pieces ofexercise equipment -- bands, kettlebells -- can help you supplementindoor workouts and maintain anactive lifestyle in cold weather.

"I always aim for at least 30minutes of exercise a day. If I'mhaving a hard day, I break it upinto 10 -minute increments -- in themorning, afternoon and at night. Itmakes it much more manageable,"says Marie Osmond, entertainerand Nutrisystem ambassador.

Temptation #3: Office Treats:As if your own holiday partyindulgences weren't bad enough,you also have to deal with otherpeople's leftover treats in yourworkplace breakroom. To avoidtemptation, make sure your mealprep is on point every week andincludes snacks to keep you fullthroughout the day. It's mucheasier to politely decline thosebrownies when you've filled upon almonds or light popcorn.

Temptation #4: Holiday Tra-ditions: Turkey with all the trim-

mings. Gingerbread houses withthe kids. Hot chocolate on Christ-mas Eve. As much as we lookforward to these traditions, theycan take a toll on a healthy lifestyle.This year, try focusing less on foodand more on shared experiences.Trade the annual cookie bake -offfor a day of crafting or ice skating;skip your calorie -laden dessertand become the life of the partyby bringing board games to playafter dinner.

Temptation #5: Liquid Calo-ries: Eggnog, mulled wine, or afestive holiday martini are deli-cious ways to celebrate the season,but they add up quickly. Alcoholhas almost the same number ofcalories per gram as fat, and atypical hot chocolate with whippedcream from a coffee shop is around400 calories. If you're going toindulge, do so in moderation.Peppermint tea is a festive, tastyalternative as well.

Sweeten Season WithDelicious, NutritiousDried Fruit

(NAPSI) - Here's encouragingnews for many people who like toindulge around the holidays: youcan enjoy a sweet treat as a snack,a sauce, a spread and even dessert,that's actually good for you. Thatis when you whet your appetitefor dried fruits such as cranberriesand cherries.

According to studies publishedby the National Institutes ofHealth, dried fruit consumption,in contrast with fresh fruit, canprovide significant proportionsof daily requirements of sev-eral micronutrients, particularlyfolate, and that people who eatdried fruit tend to weigh less andingest more nutrients, than thosewho don't.

Ounce for ounce, dried fruitscontain more fiber and moreprotective antioxidants than freshfruit, adds Harvard's Dr. AnthonyKomaroff. The fiber fights heartdisease, obesity, some types ofcancer and possibly degenerativebrain diseases.

What's more, the anthocyaninin cherries may help with musclerecovery after a workout.

Basically, dried fruit can be agreat and easy way to enhancenutrient density.

There are many ways you andyour family can enjoy these tastytreats, during the holidays or atany time.

Here are a couple of easy recipesyou may care to try:

OATMEAL SMOOTHIE WITH DRIED FRUIT

V2 C. nut milk

1/2 C. old-fashioned rolled oats

1/2 C. yogurt (optional)

1 t. chia seeds

1 t. flaxseed milledI t. hemp seeds1/2. banana mashed

dried cherries, dried cranberries, nuts, and/or spices to top

Add milk, oats, yogurt, chia seeds, flaxseed, hemp seeds,and banana to a bowl and stir. Transfer to jar, place lid on jarand refrigerate for 5-8 hours. Top with dried fruit, nuts, and/or spices and enjoy.

For the more sophisticated palates among your family andfriends, there's this:

CRAN-CHERRY ROSEMARY SPREAD

8 ozs. of cream cheese, softened1 T. fresh rosemary2 T. dried cranberries, chopped1 t. fresh chives2 t. heavy cream1 T. dried cherries, chopped

1 t. garlic powder

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cranberries,cherries, heavy cream, and garlic powder. Finely chop the chives

and rosemary and place into the bowl. Mix thoroughly with afork until combined well. Scoop into a serving dish and place

in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Making these recipes even easier is that you can now get a four

pound box from Michigan's dried fruit experts, Graceland, thatincludes a two pound bag of dried cranberries and a two pound

bag of dried cherries. It's available at Meijer's throughout MI.
