The fourth annual In-ternational Taste of Nues,formerly known as theTaste of the Sister Cities,was to have been cele-brated Sunday at WhiteEagle Banquets.
This year's event wasto have featured cuisinefrom 18 local restaurantsrepresenting more thaneight countries around theglobe.
The Nues Police De-partment, in conjunctionwith Concerns of PoliceSurvivors, is asking resi-dents to honor fallen po-lice officers this holidayseason by decorating inblue lights.
Known as Project BlueLight, the practice was
several years. Some home-owners said they believedthere was a problem withthe village's drainage sys-tem.
Assistant Village Man-ager Steve Vinezeano saidthesurveys would helpthe village detect floodpatterns.
"We can't just go outthere and wander aroundaimlessly looking for prob-lems," he said. "We needto get a picture of what'sgoing on. Hopefully, we'llget a lot of responses tothe survey so we can focuson areas that repeatedlyflood."
The surveys are beingmailed to village residents
The InternationalTaste of Niles serves asthe primary fund-raiserfor the Sister Cities Initia-tive, whose mission is to"promote peace throughmutual respect, under-standing, & cooperation -one individual, one corn-munity at a time."
Niles now has four sis-ter cities: Nafplion,Greece; Leixlip, Ireland;Pisa, Italy; and Limanowa,Poland. The village enter-tamed adding a fifth sister

Davis said the Niles Po-lice Department, 7000 W.Touhy Ave., will be deco-rated in blue lights thisyear and in the future.
The Taste was also ex-pected to feature a specialchildren's activity area.
Acting Mayor RobertCallero called the celebra-tion an opportunity forpeople to explore the her-itage of the different eth-nicities found in Niles.
"Many people havenever sampled the tradi-tional dishes of their ownheritage, much less the fa-vorite foods of other cul-tures and countries," hesaid.
Blue lights to honor police killed on job"The color blue is a
symbol of peace," hewrote.
"Many people will notknow the significance ofthe blue lights but policeofficers, their families andfriends surely will and wethank those of you thatplan on participating."
Niles Police are warn-ing local businesses abouta scam involving phonychecks.
Police said a Niles busi-ness recently received acheck in a UPS envelopein the amount of$2,888.05.
They said the name onthe account was O.G.Hughs and Sons Inc., lo-cated at 4816 RutledgePike, Knoxville, Tenn.
The routing number onthe check is apparently le-gitimate, but it does notbelong the O.G. }{ughs andSons Inc., police reported.
Police caution businessowners to carefully moni-tor any checks they re-ceive and to make surethey are from actual cus-tomers before cashingthem.
The scam could also in-volve a follow-up call withsomebody claiming to befrom O.G. Hughs and SonsInc., stating that they acci-dentally sent the checkout and need to be corn-pensated by having acheck issued to them orfunds wired to them, po-lice warned.
Police have contactedauthorities in Tennesseeand plan to contact theSecret Service in Chicago.
"There are manyscams going on out there,remember that there is nosuch thing as 'free money,',, according to a Niles Po-lice statement.
"Unfortunately, manypeople and businesseshave found out the hardway by becoming victim ofthese scams."

Paiflry braces for holidays, looks for help'By KATHY ROIJTLIFFE
kroutjiffelltpioneerlocal corn
Cynthia Carranza, di-rector of the Nues Town-ship food pantry said Nov.19 she was braced for abusy Thursday and Fr1-day; that was when sheand pantry volunteers ex-pected to hand out hun-dreds of Thanksgiving-dinner packages to needyfamilies and senior citi-zens.
Without the specialpackages - filled withturkey, cranberry sauce,stuffing, dessert-makingsand other traditional trim-mings - her clientswouldn't be able to cele-brate the holiday, she said.
aBased on what we didlast year, I'm expecting toserve a large number ofour families one day, andan even larger number ofour senior citizen clientson Friday. They will belined up almost aroundthe building," Carranzasaid.
The pantry is locatedat 5255 Main St., Skokie,at the rear of the town-ship administration cen-ter.
As Thanksgiving kicksoffthe holiday season,however, Carranza saidher biggest challenge ismeeting the needs of aclient load growing as theeconomy falls into reces-sion.
More families and indi-viduals, particularly sen-ior citizens have been ask-ing for pantry help, sheadded.
«In our last threemonths alone, we've seena 36 percent increaseoverall in new clients," shesaid.
"It's not just us, it's allfood pantries in Chicagoand throughout CookCounty dealing with thesekinds óf numbers; but it'sdefinitely been a challengeforbusn
Monthly service levelsare higher now than dur-Ing the same months in2007, Carranza said.
For instance, while the
number of householdsserved ran between 742and 767 from July throughOctober of 2007, thatrange has risen to be-tween 767 and 938 thiyear - the latter figurejust last month.
Last year, the pantryserved 1,204 households inNovember. This year, thenumber is up to 803 oùlyhalfway through themonth. ,,
. The number of individ-uals served in Julythrough October of lastyear ranged between 1,416and 1,521. In the samefour-month span this yeaithe range swelled to be-tween 1,548 and 1,981, Car-ranza said.
Although the pantryreceives food (both as do-nations and, ìncreasingly,through direct purchase)from programs that makeuse of the Greater ChicagoFood Depository that or-ganization is under in-creasing pressure to serveits client food pantriesand service agencies.
Donations from thepublic are what helpbridge the gaps, she said.
Residents, schools andother'groups who want tohelp the food pantry cando so in several ways, Car-ranza said.
They can donate food,money, or time.
Canned fruits, juiceand vegetables are alwayswelcome, as are shelf sta-ble items such as pastaand rice, cereals, smallbottles ofjam and jelly,peanut butter, canned fishand meat.
(Food items with past-due expiration dates can'tbe used.)
The pantry is open forclients, and to receive do-nations 9:30-11:30 a.m, and1-4 p.m., Mondays throughFridays.
For more information,call Carranza at 847-673-9300, or access the town-ship web site atwwwnilestownshipgov.org.

As pantry costs rise, less supplies availableBy KATHY ROUTUFFE
As more needy fami-lies come to the NilesTownship food pantrythis yeaa direétor Cyn-thia Carranza musttackle the challenge ofbuying more goods, athigher prices, using thesame base budget withwhich she worked in2007. -
The township's food
pantry budget allocationstands at $33,000, andCarranza supplementsthat by looking for grantsand other fund raisingpossibilities, as well asprivate donations.
But while her iùndingremains at 2007 levels,the pantry's client num-bers have climbed signiui-cantly. Pantry storeswere completely emptiedby enid-motith in October,she said, forcing her for
the first time to make anemergency food pickupto finish out a month.
At the same time, theamount of food she canbuy for each dollar hasdropped: "Items thatused to be seven cents apound are now 18 cents apound. There's also a lotless variety in what I canget."
Meat and powderedmilk, the latter previ-ously a pantry staple, are
no longer available
through the depositoryshe said. One possible ex-planation could be thatmany of the companieswhose food purchaseoverruns are tradition-ally donated to the de-pository are buying less,"which means there'sless gleaning to be do-nated."

Mitola said negotia-Lions between the ToliwayAuthority and the truck-ing industry occurred be-fore Thursday's vote. Henoted that Illinois trucktolls were less than otherparts of the country
Tolls for trucks will in-crease in 2015, rangingfrom $2.10 to $5.60, de-pending on the size of thetruck.
"We are playing catch-up in toll rates for trucks,and we are well behindthe other top 10 truckingareas," he said.
Mitola also said testinggreen lanes was a priority,but he did not yet an-nounce a location.'-
"The test section willbe fine-tuned. We will notjust slam down a carpoollane and see if it works.We will ease our way intothis project," he said.
Before the vote, 12 pub-lic hearings were held togauge reaction to theplans, where 192 peopleattended and more sent e-mails and letters.
According to an IllinoisTollway report, 60 per-cent supported the con-gestion relief effort. -

A guide to Black Friday shopping
STEPHANIE ZIMMERMANN
THE FIXER '. Chicago Sun-Times
WADear Readers: In the
days following Black Fn-day - that nationwideorgy of shopping right af-ter Thanksgiving - TeamFixer always seems to getletters from people whofelt things didn't go asplanned.
Either they got talkedinto an expensive war-ranty, or they didn't real-ize an item couldn't be re-turned, or the store ranout of an advertised item,or the price dropped thenext day and the storewouldn't match it.
Add to that the statsfrom Consumer Reports'holiday shopping pollshowing that show 76 per-
cent of Americans areplanning to cut back onholiday spending this year,and the stress of tryingnot to get ripped off couldsend some of us over theedge.
In hopes of preventingsome of that misery, hereare a few tips for thosewho will brave the retailjungle on Friday:
Do your homework
To avoid blowing a holein your budget, make a listof every person you'reshopping for and the ap-proximate amount you'llspend.
Make a list of all thestores you expect to visitand check the newspaperads for coupons arid BlackFriday deals.
Go online to some ofthe free coupon sites. Oneof The Fixer's faves isBargainist.com, whereyou can search by store tosee if there are any dis-count codes for onlineshopping or printable
coupons to bring to thestore. (For advance infoon stores' Black Fridayads, check out BFAds.netand BlackFriday.Got-taDeal.com.) There aremany other coupon sites,especially if you're plan-fling to buy online.
Get some intel
You probably know TheFixer is no fan of standingin line all night to get acheap flat-screen TV. Butwe realize that some of youactually like doing that.
If you're after a hotitem that will have an es-pecially low "door-buster"price on Black Friday, be-friend a store managerahead oftime to see howmany units they'll have. Ifthey've only got two instock, either get there su-per early or rethink yourplans.
While you're at it, askhow they'll thwart theline-jumpers who show upat the last moment. Willthey have a security offi-

cer? Will they hand outnumbers or tickets to thepeople in line?
Take note of the floorplan of the stores, so youcan grab that piece ofvideo game equipment be-fore anyone else does.
Stay organized
Get out a big markerand write "Christmas re-ceipts" on an envelope be-cause that's where you'regoing to put all your shop-ping receipts.
Also, make sure to getgift receipts to includewith your presents.
And don't forget to ob-tain a receipt for everygift card you buy, andkeep it with the card incase there's a problemwith the activation.
If you're applyingfor a rebate - anddon't say The Fixerdidn't warn you aboutrebates - make sure youkeep the rebate form,UPCs, receipts, etc.together in one safe place.
Last, make a note ofthe stores' return policies.
Stay safe
When you hit themalls, dress like you've gota date with a pickpocket.Women, leave the floppytote bag at home. Carry apurse with zippers and in-side pockets. Guys, watchyour wallet. According tothe Identity Theft Re-source Center, calls aboutlost and stolen walletspeak during the holidays.
Bring only the cash,identification and creditor debit cards you needfor this shopping trip.
After the holidays,check your credit cardstatements carefully tomake sure there aren'tany fraudulent charges.
Or ... just stay homeIf the thought of brav-
ing Black Friday crowdsleaves you cold, shop on-line. You can find somegreat deals, especially onelectronics.
Be sure to check theshipping rates and returnpolicies when comparingprices, and make yourpaynent only on a legiti-

Rainbows andpromises
In creating its "Promiseof Park Ridge," the displayof Fiberglas rainbowswhich have graced thestreets of Park Ridge thissuminet; the Park Ridga-based Rainbow Hospicebrought a unique public artopportunity to the city. Therainbows, for the mostpart, will be gone by theend of this month.
The rainbows helped tomake the summer of 2008something special in ParkRidge, from the sneak peekat the Park Ridge Fine Artsconcert at Hodges Parkand their official unveilingat a Rainbow Hospice gath-ering to their emergenceon the streets in late June.Just going past an unex-pected rainbow couldbrighten your day a little.
The rainbows turned upin the most amazing places.Some were very formal.Some were ftin and somewere downright funny.Some came with their ownmessage. Some, while rain-bow shaped, didn't followthe traditions of the seven-colored rainbow at all.Some were painted by am-ateurs, some were de-signed by professionals.Some were painted by indi-viduals, and some were de-veloped by committee.
Rainbow Hospice, inlaunching the project, hadhoped for a couple dozensponsors to fund rainbows,and they ended up withmore than 50. For thosewho wanted to do rainbowtours, there werebrochures with maps toguide visitors to spots allovér the city.
'It was also a campaignof awareness for the Rain-bow Hospice program, andthe network of supportservices which it offers forailing resideìits and griev-
WE SAY
ing families. Hospice was arelatively new concept aquarter century ago, whena small group of volunteersorganized themselves togive more meaningful sup-port to patients and theirfamifies. The program wasembraced and more for-mally established with thehelp ofResurrection Med-ical Center, Holy FamilyHospital and LutheranGeneral Hospital, and ithas grown over time andgeographically.
A key factor from thebeginning was to offer apromise ofhope - whichthe rainbow brought toNoah and his family on theark - as well as compas-sion and consolation. That"promise" continues tofunction but is often corn-municated only whensomeone in one's immedi-ate circle of family andfriends needs hospice serv-ices.
Community awarenessis needed because, evenmany years in the commu-nity, many are not aware ofthe hospice's programsor the scope of outreachservices they offer, whichare as varied as the rain-bows created this summer.Rainbow Hospice, continu-ing to forge communitypartnerships to support itsmission, has opportunitiesfor volunteers, working di-rectly with those in need,or assisting with fundrais-ing effortsto keep the pro-grams operating.
If you were intrigued orcaptivated by this year'srainbows, and have sometinle to spare to assistRainbow Hospice in anyway, call their offices at 444N. Northwest Highway,Suite 145, Park Ridge IL60068; phone (847) 685-9900.

'You SAYMystica' runes in
falling leaves?
People have been read-ing tea leaves for centuries.Looking out my window,I'm wondering uwe canread our tree leaves aswell....?
They tumble down bythe thousands every wetwindy minute. A Niagara ofblazing reds and orangeswhich quickly choke thechilling earth like a coat ofmany colors. Squirrelsscurry through them forfood. School kids shufflethrough them like seekersof hidden treasures. Homeowners and street crewsapproach them with thegrim assignment of annihi-lation.
Quick, before they moldand disappear into theearth, I study them insearch of their message.Oh, there's a message, allright, for I'm ofthe disponi-tion that nature is God'svoice to the world.
Once you could experi-ence the message as youand your father dutifullyburned them at curb sides.Those ancient, nowbanned, bonfires magicallygave up bifiows of fra-granced smoke whichcurled through the autumnair joining other wigwamsof smoke. Soon our after-noons were a gray-yellowmist that hung over our lit-tie lives whispering of longago tribes and soon-to-bewonders.
Today, the mists aregone and the fragrances re-placed. Instead of hushed,autumnal perftirne, ear-splitting leaf blowers gagthe airwith noxious fumes.The new message from ournew technologies was sup-posed to be cleaner air andbetter living. Who could ar-gue? And yet, today's airpollutants are simply dif-ferent not cleaner. And asfor better living, is techno-logical efficiency alwaysbetter than creative day-

dreaming.In a time and place long
ago and far away, Midwestautumns were a lazier,more poetic funeraL Na-ture died slowly, gracefully,pungently. Adult as well aschild could relish and revelu1 its passing for our onlyweapons against it wereour rakes and our imagina-tions. Not our machinesand our vindications.
Now let's be clear. Senti-mentalists like me under-stand perfectly well the val-ues of technology Indeed,I'm one who science alonehas kept alive past my bib-lical three-score-and-ten.But must every new stepahead transfigure into a re-lentless attack on every-thing behind? It is not onlythe child in me that thinksnot!
Deep into the new cen-tury with a new president-elect and a new clutch ofcrises, we still have the
same old opportunity Topause just a reflective mo-ment in respect to our dy-ing earth. To watch the gb-nous funeral that naturemakes of its autumns. Andto consider what this peren-nial technicolor death mayreally be telling us.
Here's what I heas It isdying to the old summer asit makes way for the newwinter. A winter in whicheverything hunkers downjust long enough to burstforth a new and brighterspring. The message? Isn't
it to remind us that somethings in life follow eternal
paths that may not always
need us to rush into withexotic new signposts? Bet-
ter, instead, to find these
rhythms and try more to
dance with them, ratherthan changing all the beats?
If that sounds like con-
servatives preaching to its
liberals, that's not howl
hear it. Instead, nature sim-
ply advising its visitorsJack Spatafora

MILK
***1I2Director Gus Van Sank's stirring
biography of Harvey Milk, the first
openly gay man to be elected to
public office in America, has a lot
going for it including a smart,
funny, politically savvy script, but
it's Sean Penn's uncharacteristically
gentle, humorous, low-key perform-
anca that really makes it work.
Penn effectively captures the spirit
(and the look, thanks to a prop-
department nose) of the transplant-
ed New Yorker who began political
life in San Francisco as a means of
advancing the gay rights movement
- and because he felt he'd lived 40
years without doing anything he
was proud of. The film opens with a
tape of Milk recording his memoirs
bécause he was aware he was a tar-
. get for assassination and works its
way through his San Francisco
years, from the time he discovered
his gift for pôliticat organizing until
the time he was shot by a disturbed
fellow City Supervisor (Josh Brolin
contributing a disturbing portrait of
repression). It's possible to quibble
that Van Sant's picture of Milk is
perhaps a bit too saintly, allowing
no suggestion that he might have
been motivated on any level by per-
sonal ambition or a tase for power.
But he extends the same compas-
sionate consideration to every
major character - only Anita Bryant
and a California congressman
attempting to ban gay teachers
from public schools get the cold
shoulder. (BI) (128 min.) Rated R for
language, some sexual content and
brief violence.

FILM CLIPSshare tons of chemistry. Pattinson
comes ácross like James Dean T
intense heart-breakingly gorgeous,
moody and enthralling. (He did a lit-
tie too much brooding, but he's also
saddled with dialogue like "Hang
on, spidermthìkey" the first time
he takes Bella for a tree-top stroll.)
But it was a tough job to find an
actor who could live up to the
intensity fans feel about Edward,
and Pattinson delivers. Stewart
nails the character of Bella - her
clumsiness, bravery, stubbornness
and curiosity. And Bella gets a bit of
a (much needed) feminist '
makeover. Where the movie is a let-
down is in its special effets, The.
town of Forks is brilliantly imag-
ned, but the vampire jumping and
leaping looks silly and the sepia-
tinted flashback scenes are straight
out of a silent inovieparody. Büt-
"Twilight" fans, and anyone who
likes supernatural love stories, will
enjoy the well-imagined Forks and
the star-crossed Bella and Edward
story. (JI) (122 min.) Rated P0-13 for
some violence and a scene of sen-
suality.
ZACK AND MIRI
MAKE A PORNO
***The raunch is wall-to-wall.in
"Zack and Miri Make a Porno," but
it's really a sweet romantic comedy,
at heart. As sweet as you can get
with former porn star Traci Lords
playing a character called Bubbles
- and graphically demonstrating
how she got the nickname with a
bottle of bubble liquid and ... You
don't want to know. Well, maybe
you do, but I can't tell you about it
here. Gen-X hero Kevin Smith, who
has demonstrated a flair for trans-
gression since his 1994 indie debut
"Clerks" was slapped with an NC-i?
rating for language alone, wrote
and directed this surprisingly
upbeat and good-hearted story of a
couple of lifelong friends (Seth
Rogen and Elizabeth Banks) who
decide to produce and star in their
own porn movies to restore their
squandered finances. What they
won't know, until their first sex
scene, is that they're in love with
each other - a revelation that conf-
plicates the scenario in not-espe-
cially-interesting ways. The stuff
that really resonates for Smith and
his excellent cast is the outra-
geously tawdry comedy that arises
from the premise of a crew of
gung-ho amateurs going the full
monty and much, much more, More
evidence that the end of civilization
is near, perhaps, but at least there's
laughter involved. (BI) (101 min.)
Rated R for strong crude sexual
content including dialogue, graphic
nudity and pervasive language.

STILL PLAYING
or lead mighty armies or create
immortal masterpieces. Is it possi-
ble to realize your karmic potential
by attempting to go all the way on
a TV game show? "Slumdog
Millionaire" says yes, indeed, and
makes you believe it. The stakes
couldn't be higher in this beautiful-
ly crafted epic involving a
Dickensian struggle against cruel
poverty, the lifelong bond between
two estranged brothers, true love
that never dies, the resilence of
hope and the workings of fate-
and they couldn't be resolved in a
more dazzling manner. Danny Boyle
("Trainspotting," "24 Days Later,"
"Millions") directed this epic story
(from a script by Simon "The Full
Monty" Beaufoy), about an unedu-
caked 8-year-old slum kid named
Jamal (Dey Patel), who's one cor-
reck answer away from winning a
20-million rupee jackpot on India's
version of "Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire?" The show's smarmy
host (Indian superstar Anil Kapoor)
and the police are so convinced
that Jamal is cheating somehow
that he's tortured and interrogated
during the overnight break, but
"Slumdog" gradually reveals
through flashbacks that he learned
his answers the hard way: Through
life experience. And this kid's'life
story definitely gives "Oliver Twist"
a run for his gruel. "Slumdog"
builds to a high pitch of excitement
by cleverly intertwining the nail-bit-
ing suspense in the various chap-
ters of Jamal's life with the cheesy,
but not negligible, tension built into
the all-or-nothing stakes of "Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire?" But it
also has a wealth al the cinematic
virtues that can be found in most
of Boyle's previous films: Breathless'
pacing, flamboyant visual flair and
an elevated, yet almost old-fash-
ioned, spell-weaving approach to
storytelling. If someone asks you to
see "Slumdog Millionaire," there's
only one correct answer: Yes, yes,
yes. (BI) In English and Hindi with
subtitles.
TWILIGHT
***"Twilight" is really a love let-
ter to fans of Stephenie Meyer's
books, but it's not necessary to
have read them - it just helps to
have a greater sense of the story
and more of an attachment to the
characters. The movie closely fol-
lows the plot of the book as
teenage Bella (Kristen Stewart)
leaves Phoenix to move in with her
father Charlie (Billy Burke), a man
who is somewhat of a stranger to
her in a town, Forks, Wash., that she
finds alien. Stewart and Burke's del-
icate, but fond relationship, is
quickly established and Stewart as
Bella and Robert Pattinson as her
vampire love interest, Edward,
BOLT
***Basically, "Bolt" is "The Truman
Show" from a canine perspective.
Like Jim Carrey in Peter Weir's
excellent 1998 existential comedy,
Bolt learns one day that the life
he's been living is in reality not a
reality - that the world as he knows
it is actually a popular TV show,
From puppyhood, he's been trained
to believe that he truly is Bolt the
Superdog (voice of John Travolta),
the canine stalol a ppulâr action
series, in which he repeatedly bat-
tIes the mad scientist Dr. Calico
(Malcolm McDowell) and rescues
the intrepid young action heroine
Penny (voice of Miley Cyrus) from
his clutches. One day, believing
Penny's been kidnapped, Bolt flips
out, escapes from the studio and
starts searching for his mistress
out in the cold, cruel realwonld -
and that's when the fun begins. You
could consider "Bolt" a road movie
as well, as he travels across
America in the company of a couple
of comic-relief sidekicks: A sardonic
cat and an excitable hamster who's
watched a bit too much TV. The'
comedy has 'an effectively wry
touch, the sentiment doesn't get
squishy until the very end and the
action is handled in a way that's
not only spectacular, but inventive.
As the hamster might say (his ten-

action and peril.
CHANGELING
As you might expect, this
somber drama abäut a mother's
quest for her missing child has
been handsomely mounted by Clint
Eastwood, Ron Howard and compa-
ny and it features an impressive
emotional workout from Angelina
Jolie. lt's a bit too coolly detached
to be completely involving, though,
and it doesn't have the luxury of
providing a'satisfying resolution to
its central mystery. (BI) (140 min.)
Rated R for some violent and dis-
turbing content, and language.

Australia ** 1/2Big, brawling, boister-

Luhrmann, who madehis reputation with his hy-per-theatrical "Red Cur-tain" trilogy ("StrictlyBallroom," "Romeo +Juliet," "Moulin Rouge")has been working foryears on this $200-millionextravaganza, which he in-tended to be a lavish odeto his native land. Andsome of that love of coun-try comes through, thoughit's sometimes hard to

Little Edie dated apromising young CapeCodder named JosephKennedy Jr. Big Edie,born into French nobilityand a socialite whose lay-ish 1917 wedding drewthousands of spectators,held court from the fam-ily's massive seasidehome.
Just over 30 yearslater, Grey Gardens wascondemned as unfit forhuman habitation. Big
C'MOVlES'Edle and Little Edle livedthere with more than 50cats, a few rabid raccoonsand no plumbing. They atecat food, slept on rancid,flea-infested sheets,shunned the world andclung to each other in amutual stranglehold.
Featuring a sure-fireJeff nominated perform-ance by the unsinkableHollis Resnick, "Grey Gar-dens" doesn't ftilly explainwhat caused the shockingtransformation; and, morespecifically, how LittleEdie lost her hair. Thoseare flaws in the nonethe-less marvelously enter-taming and Tony-winningmusical by Doug Wright(book), Michael Korie(lyrics) and Scott Franke!(music).
Flaws and ail, directorBJ Jones makes a compul-sively watchable case for"Grey Gardens." Openingin 1941, you can see thecruel, oppressive familydynamics laying thegroundwork for tragedy.When Big Edie's (Resnick)father (Dennis Kelly, man-

aging to be both hilariousand hateful) schools hisgranddaughters that thebest thing they can do inlife is "marry well," andtells Little Edie (TempeThomas) "Go find a hus-band. Don't waste yourlife on talent you haven'tgot," there's a forebodinglayer of sorrows to come.In another time, the Bealewomen might have beenPritzker heiress/actressLiesel Matthews. Or atworst, Paris Hilton.
The second act skips to1972. Little Edie (nowplayed by Resnick) hasmorphed from Body Beau-tiful into a dumpy, para-noid, perpetually angryloner with a miraculouslyoutlandish fashion sense(which, incidentally, showsup today on everyonefrom Lauren Hutton toMary Kate Olsen).

I once worked for a someone whofailed to understand the importanceand responsibility ofhis position. Hecame up iba newoffice policy, madeinhaste and without much thought, andsigned his name on the inter.officememo. Shortly after, he changed the
LindaSchweitzer
rules on a whim and for his own benefit,and when suino ofthe employees ob-jected and referred to the memo he hadpreviosslyapproved, he was defiant.
"Yeah, it's my signature,"he shouted. "So what?l"
Needless to say, his credi-bility with the employees wasshaky as ofthat moment, and
. managementsawbim as in-sincere. He didn't remain as asupervisor much longer.
No matterwhat, wizen youput yournamc on something,you should have the maturityand responsibility to adheretoit.
Thatis true ofBurla Build-ers. You know just what
you're getting from this family ownedcompany ofresidential, commercialand land developers.
The Burla name is etched with quali-tyand integrity. Established in 1955,Frank Burla and Sons are credited withbuilding the first condominiums in theJoliet area in the 1970's.
The unique architecture also proWdes amentiies typically not foundn hlgti.rlse condominiums. CA23 has only two condos per floor for
maxImum privacy, and resIdences will feature oversized windowsand li-foot to 22-foot ceilings.
The Windy City's super-stararchitectsfrom RalphJohnsonand Lucien Lagrange to PatrickFitzGerald - all are in love withnatural light and glassy contem-porary design.
This architectural trendemerged in 2008 and should con-tinsepasttheend ofthedecadeasChicago's skyline welcomes theaddition ofarchitecturally innova-tivecontemporarycondominjumsin the Loop and West Loop, realestate experts say.
Residential high-rise and mid-risedevelopmentsnawplaanedorunder construction in the Loopand West Loop feature such de-sign innovationsasglasay facadesaccented withgeometric squares,sleek exteriors showcasing canti.levered balconies and light-filledatriums.
"Chicago is known fonts inno-valive architecture and that lega-cy is continuing," said developerColin Kilinke, president of Clii-cago-based CMK DevelopmentCorp. 'Right now there are scv-eral developments currently un-derway and designed bystar-powerarchitectstliatwill embellisli our city with innovativearchitectural pizzazz."
CMIC Development's 235 VanBuron, acontempanoy-stylesky-scraper with sleek gray-tintedglass windows and cantileveredbalconies, nowis rising FinancialDistrict on the southern edge ofChicago's Loop. The 46-storyhigh-rise will be a new landmarkon the Chicago skyline when thecondominium is completed inmid-2009, accordingto Kihnke.
CMKDevelopmentenlisted le-nowned architect Ralph Johnsonof Perkins & Will to design thehigh-rise. When completed 235Van Huren will be one of the tall-est new buildings downtown.
"Thefacadeislikeakineticbill-board ofactive balconies and willbe one ofthe first things peoplesee upon entering the city fromtlieexprsssway,"saídByran Sclia-bel, project architectfrom Perkins& Wills.
The high-rise, now under con-
struction on the southeast comerof Franklin and Van Buren,willbea modern sculpture of glass,grand atriums and unique baleo-niesgeared to revive the heritageofmodern architecturo in Chica-go.
Oneoftheinterestingarchitec-turai features of23SVan Buron is'the playful distribution of thecantilevered balconies, whichread as shiny boxes hanging fromgray-tinted glass," Schabel said.
"It relieves the overall mass ofthe façade and expressesthe indi.vid«a?ity of the units. The brickpattern ofthe strip windows helpsfurther reduce the scale and en-hyena the façade," Kihnke said.The floor-to.ceilingwindows willbe breathtaking."
Nearly all ofthe floor plans willoffer balconies and terraces withspectacular views, Sears Thwerand the city skyline, parks, (lieChicago River and Lake Michi-gao.
The 235 Van Buren's architec.turc is best described as RalphJohnson's signature "NormativeModernism," which stronglycomplements CMK Develop.mont's tradition ofmodem devel-opments, Kihnke noted.Johnsonalso designed CMK's award.win-obig Cozsteznporaine, a 28-unitluxury condominium residence at201 W. Grand in River North.
"Manynewdowntown Chicagocondominium buildings are ge-nene, not personalized,"Johnsonsaid. "Thisbuildingisverydiffer-ent, in many respects, from (liecurrent crop of high-rises goingup in the city in that it's a sculp.lure. None ofthe design is an nf-terthouglit"
235 W. Vanßurenwillhave7l4condominiums when completed.Buyers may choose from amongmore than 130 unique floorplanswith one to three bedrooms andone to three baths.

Buyers sing praises of Lake Park Gateway INorth Kenwood
condo communityrated high for price,design and featuresQuality construction, unusual luxury
design, attention to detail and excep-tional prices have condominium buyerssinging the praises oldeveloper Mitch-cil Newman, principal of StrategemHome Builders.
Newman is developing Lake ParkGateway II, a23.unitluxury condomin-ium development now under construc-tion at 1223-1249 E. 46th St. in the NorthKenwood/Oakland neighborhood onChicago's Mid-South Side.
lt tookjustfournionthsofhome shop-ping for 36-year-old lawyer Karen VanRyck deGroot and her 40-year-old bus-bandJerryGrenon, who is also a lawyer,to settle on Lake Park Gatewayll. Previ-ously, they resided in Lake View neigh-borhood.
"We looked on the North Side andcompared prices to North Kenwood onthe South Side, and learned it's muchmore affordable down here,' Van RyckdeGroot said. Price is, of course, animportant factor. But in addition to thatI thoughtthat Lake Park Gateway II liadthe best bang for the buck in terms ofamenities."
Available two-bedroom and three-bedroom units with 1,380 to 1,500square feet ofspace range in base pricefrom $249,000 to $349,900, said New-man. Several units are ready for imme-diate delivery. The second plisse willinclude a three-flat condo building anda four-flat condo building, Newmansaid.
Van Ryck deGroot and Grenon pur-chased a four-bedroom, three-bath du-plex condominium willi 2,000 squarefeet ofliving space.Theyhave lived hap-pily in their new honie for a year.
"1 thought thestyles ofthe Lake ParkGateway II condos were unique com-pared tè dtlfer residences we liad beenlookingat,"Van RyckdeGrootsaid. 'Itwas m11ct ñfore creatively designedThe floor plan was different than any-tliingl'd seen."
Van Ryck deGroot said she and herhusband appreciated that the bedroomswere so efficiently placed in the floorplan.
"The layout ofthe four-bedroom wasdifferent than any four-bedroom I'dseen," she said,
"In most units with multiple bed-rooms, the bedrooms wereclose togeth-er, side by side. At Lake Park GatewayIl, the bedrooms arc zoned for privacy... two bedrooms are on one side of thefloor plan and two more are laid out onthe other side."
None oftlie bedrooms shares a cam-mon wall, she said, which they also ap-preciate.
"There's so much more privacy, ofcourse, when walls are not shared. I likethat aboutthe place," saidVan Ryckde.Groot, whose mother lives with thecouple part of the year.
The tloor plan and design featureswere done by irnerior designer KapanShipman of Habitar Design.
Phase i ofthe development is nearingcompletion along a quiet section of4&liStreet less than two blocks from LakeMichigan. Phase I features 16 units intwo eight-unit brick-and-stone build-jogs.

, :'Attorney Karen Van Ryck deGroot enjoys living at Lake Park Gateway II in North Kenwood. DoGroot and her husband havelived In the mid-South Skie development for a year.
Gateway Il are both innovative in de-sign and built with uncommon qualityand energyeflìciency," Newman said.
Otlierbuyers seem to agree and havea litany of praises for both Lake ParkGateway II and Newman.
"I wanted to be in a property that hadan established builder, a developer thathad a good reputation," said Eno 1.Slone, another happy Lake Park Gate-Wsy II buyer.
"My real estate agent told me thatMitch Newman took very good care ofhis properties and really paid attentionto the things that individuals wouldwant to have in their place," she said."When I came in, thiswas probably thelast ofabout eight properties that I hadseen, and I fell in love with it immedi-ately. There are just small details thatreally made the place really homey."
BuyersTerri and Derris Kelly werefloored by the level of quality for theprice.
"You could see all the intricaciesand perfection in the craftsmanship inthis whole place," said Dorns Kelly. "ltjust outweighed everything else by aton."
"I was actually surprised to look at
the price for this unit, looking at all thestuff that was in it. I'm thinking, 'OK,.thisis a steal. Let'sjump on it like now',"sajdTerri Kelly.
The development features strikingstreetscapeswith niasonryfacades andstone detailing, and facade reliefthrough bays and arches. The presenceofdecorative iron fencing adds an ele-gant touch to the development.
"The exterior design of Lake ParkGstewsy 11 by architectAlex PolichukofAtelier 7, captures the look and feelof North Kenwood's vintage, turn-of-the-century architecture," Newmansaid.
The innovative interior design isshowcased in the professionally deco-rated model residence designed byKapan Shipisian of Habitar Design, anOld Town-based firm oWne(l by the de-veloper.
"The model's living-dining roomshowcases such unique details as cus-tom-built cherry fireplace mantel facedwith mosaic tile, built-in bookcases anddisplay niches," Newman said.
The bright and spacious 18.75-foot-wide living room also features a set ofbay windows.Theadjoining diningarea

Kitchens at Lake Park Gateway li fea-turo custom cabinetry and quartz coun-ter tops, such as Silestone. An islandbreakfast bar and dual-sink divide thekitchen work area from the dining area.The kitchen also features a pantry forextra storage.
A gallery-style hallway leads backfrom the kitchen past a bedroom (10-by-93í feet), a guest closet, utility room,laundry center, a shower balli and thesecond bedroom (9-by-10.4 feet).
The spacious 13.by-1431-foot masterbedroom features a tray ceiling and asliding glass dooropens to aprivate ter-race. The adjoining master bath fea-tures a separate tub and shower anddouble-bowl vanity. A walk-in closetcompletes the master suite.
Both baths have spa showers, earth-tone porcelain, and stone and mosaictile, and custom-built bath vanities withvessel bowls.
"Condominiums at Lake Park Gate-way lt feature high-qualityand energy-efficient construction," Newman said.

He also noted that the feature is pou-ular among young professional buy-ers.
"The South Side lias seen a resur-gence ofnew residential developmentoverthelast several years," said JeromeWade, president oftlze Southiside Buihd-ers Association. "A diverse mix of buy-ers is coming from the South Side, theNorth Side and even the suburbs be-cause ofthe significant value offered."
"Improvementsto nearby Lake ShoreDrive and tIm Lake Michigan shoreline,including a beach phanuied at 30thStreet, make North Kenwood Chicago'snext destination neighborhood," Wadesaid.
Real estate appraiser Gail Lissner ufAppraisal Research Counselors Ltd.,said that there is greatervahue for homebuyers on the South Side of Chicagothan on the North Side.
"You certainly can get significantlymoreforyourmoneyon thieSouth Side,"Lissner said. "If you are shopping for ahome on the North Side of Chicago,you're probably paying 50 percentmore."
Newman noted that the East NorthKenwood location oftize development isanother plus.

I'm slowly being \von over by the idea of diesel.Every dine I write about diesel-powered ve-
hides I get a siew of c-mails from readers whoare die-hard diesel fans and have known for along time what many of us arc just figuring out:The new diesel-powered passenger vehicles aren'tloud, dirty or sluggish.
Even bette; they're fuel cf1cient.Take, for example, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz
ML 320 B1ueTEC. Duringa testI averaged atound22 mpg and didn't even go through a quarter tankof gas in a week of my regular commute. GrantedIn)' regular commute doesn't consist of a hugedistance, but it is mostly city diving. And cantell you I typically go throughat least.a half tankof gas in a normal week.
The Environmental Protection Agency givesthe all-wheel drive ML 320 BIucTEC estimatedcity/highway. fuel-economy ratings of 18/24mpg, so my 22 mpg was pretty true to life forcombined driving. And I Wasn't a complete lightfoot. Additionally, Mercedes estimates that youshould be able to drive around 600 miles on asingle tank of gas at highway speeds. Not bad fora vehicle that weighs almost 5,000 pounds.
Of course, one of the big arguments againstdiesel at this point may be the actual cost of die-sel fuel. However, there axe a couple of thingsyou should consider before counting out a Mer-cedes these!. First, Mercedes estimates that the
ML 320 BIueTEC gets up to 30 percent betterfiel economy. Second, you're going to have to putpremium fuel in a Mercedes any'.vay. When youlook at the current cost of premium ($2.42) vs.diesel ($3.23), you're only looking at a 33 percentincrease in price. So, the "actual" cost of diesel isrelatively negligible.
Another concern with diesel is die ditty fac-tot. However, the I1 320 BIueTEC meets eventhe most stringent 50-state emissions limita Toachieve this, the BIucTEC system uses an oxida-don catalytic converter, which helps reduce thetoxicity of emissions, as ve11 as a particulate alter.To target nitrogen oxide emissions spccihcally,the BIueTEC diesels inject a fluid called AdBlueinto the exhaust flow, which releases ammoniaand breaks nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and Wa-
ter.The 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine in the 11 320
BIueTEC delivers a stingy 210 horsepower. liov-ever, torque ratings are at 398 pound-feet, which
is equivalent to a V-8 engine and enables the ML
320 BIucTEC to tow up to 7,200 pounds. Even
though die horsepower rating is relatively low forsuch a large vehicle, I didn't think die Ml. 320
BlueTEC felt underpovcred. Ir had decent aced-
eration when merging with traf1c, and it had a
nice little burst of speed in passing situadons.
From the inside, the diesel engine is incred-
ibly quiet, which is a testament to the Mcrcechs
construction. Outside is a slightly different stor)lt's not outrageously loud, but it does have a dis-
dnctly diesel sound.The M-Class is a compact SUV from Mercedes
with a length of 188.5 inches, and that translates
into a carl-ike ride. It holds curves pretty well, and
you get the benefit of a higler sit height without
the disadvantage of a huge step-in height. The
handling is relatively sporty for an SUV and the
ride is smooth and comfortable.For 2009 the M-Glass is "restyled." The exte-
nor gets redesigned front and rear bumpers, lowergrill, angular intakes and widely set fog lights. But,I'll be honest with )'OU, the differences aren't thatnoticeable. On the inside, the seats get an upgradewith four-stage lioiver lumbar support, and thenew four-spoke steering wheel comes with multi-function buttons and shift paddles.
I'm a huge fan of the seats, but those multi-function buttons - not a fanat all. You have twoup-down buttons that scroll through the variousinformation screens, and they double as the con-trois for changing radio stations.
The problem is that there seems to be a dis-connect between the buttons and die screen theyshould operate. I could see the radio stations onthe info screen behind the steering wheel, but theup-down buttons wouldn't change radio Stationswhen I first turned on the car. Instead, I had toswitch to the optional navigation Screen on thecenter stack to show audio. Without making anyaudio changes and then flipping it to a differentscreen, it activateCi the muitiftinctioning buttonson the steering wheel to change tue radio stations.If I didn't flip the screen and kept trying to hit theniultifuncdon buttions to change the station, thehorn would honk.
The base price of the ML 320 BIueTEC is$48,600. That's $1,500 mote than the base ML350, but it should be noted that the BIueTECmodel is eligible for a $900 tax credit and. it getsbetter fuel econom) The test vehicle added ai-most $10,000 in options, including Aipine Rain(i.e. light blue) paint ($720), adaptive dampingsystem ($1,600), rear-scat entertainment ($1,850),premium package one $3,850 and heating pack.age ($1,390. Thus, the as-tested price rang in at$58,885.

Mercedes' compact SUV makes a solid case for diesel
charge for paint. With the ML 320 B1ucTEC,there are just two colors you can get without an
upciiarge: black and white. So what if the charge
is only $720. lt's the principle of the thing. Youhave a $50,000 car and you're getting charged ex-
tra for a color? Puh-leaze.
OK, aside from my tanta on dic color chargeand the multifunction buttons, I really did like the
?4L 320 BIueTEC. You get better fuel economy
than the gasoline model without sacrificing cargo.

GM says bankruptcy is not a viable solution

DETROIT General Motors Corp.'sboard of directors does not considerbankruptcy protection a viable option tosolve the company's financial troubks,but it bas discussed Chapter 11 becauseit has a legal duty to do so, a spokesmansaid Sarurda3
Century-old GM, an icon of Ameñ-can manufacturing, has been batteredby a plunge in car sales as Americanconsumers dghtcn their belts and shiftaway from the big moneymaking pickuptxucks and SUVs that long have beenthe staples of GM'S lineup.
G\I, which has slashed jobs andclosed plants since early, in the decade,
circumstances," said Vice Presidentof Communications Tony Cervone."Chapter 11 protection is not a viableoption because it doesn't fundamentallyaddress the issues at hand today."
The board, which has been meet-ing regularly by teleconference since thecompany's finances worsened, agreeswith Chairman and CEO Rick \Xgoner@bove right that bankruptcy would bedisastrous for the company, Cervonesaid. Wagoner has said it would scareaway customers who would not make a!rig-tickct purchase from an automakerthat is under Court protection.
Instead, Cervonc said the boardsupports \Vagon(r' strategy to seekcongressional approval of low-interestgovernment loans, getting the companythrough its liquidity problems until theU.S. auto market recovers and it can be
-kì
:
profitable again, Cervone said."The board continues to support
management and has continued to ex-press support for management," Cer-vone said.
But industry analysts say the boardhas to prepare for bankruptcy if thegovernment doesn't come through withloans in time and even with a loan if theU.S. auto market doesn't recover in thenext year or so.
The board probably believes in thecompany's plan to get government helpand survive, but members with financialknowledge also know that they need toexplore the bankruptcy option because
has warned that it could run low on cash of GM'S huge cash burn, said Kevinby the end of thcyear unless it gets a Tynan of New York-based Argus Re-taxpayer-funded 'cuftthe srith Côrp.ernment. - : : "it may be the best way to go, and
"The board h isibility to they may find that out. They may notkeep all options open considering the have a choice," he said. "The cash is
what keeps you in business."Erich Mentie, auto analyst with the
consulting firm Crowe HoAvath LLP,said the board has to plan its next movein case Congress doesn't come throughwith a loan quickly.
"The decision isn't really theirs," hesaid. "Unfortunately it's Washington'sdecision. They citherget this bridge loanor they have to prepare for the bank-ruptcy filing."
Withoutloans, the board likely wouldseek bankruptcy protection and thenask the government to provide debtor-in-possession financing, Merkie said.
Wagoner, in testimony to the SenateBanking Committee last week, said thatindependent research shows 80 percentof consumers would not consider buyinga car from GM if it were in bankruptcy
Bankruptcy experts say the company
1
may not be able to pay all its bills, andthat some l)tS suppliers may Start dc-manning cash from GM upon delivery.GM, though, may be able to negotiateterms from suppliers whose fates de-pend largely on the company's success.
Wagoner, Ford Motor Co. CEOAlan Mulally and Chrysler LLC CEORobert Nardelli appeared before Con-gress this week seeking $25 billion inlow-interest loans, but vcrc drubbed bycriticism from members of I-louse andSenate committees.
nstcad of leaving Washington witha commitment for the bailout loans, thethree headed backto Detroit empty.handed, ebûffed by-lawsnakerswere upset that thetrioflew.to tbe na-jdon's capital- in spaaprivatc jetsask for d;,Lawmakers also criticizedthe CEOE for appearing without a solidplan and for allowing high labor coststhat put them at a disadvantage withtheir Japanese competitors.
In a letter to the auto execiiBvesreleased last Friday afternoon, HouseSpeaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Ma-jority Leader Harry Reid demanded adetailed accounting by Dcc. 2 of thecompanies' financial condition andshort-term cash needs, as well as theirplan to achieve long-term viability.
The Democrats also called on theautomakers to show how they wouldensure that the government would bereimbursed and share in future profits,eliminate dividends and lavish execu-
vc pay packages, meet fuel-efficiencystandards and addresstheir health careand pension obligations if they get thefederal help.

adding another high_end roadster to theItalian automaker's lineup.
Massimo Fumarola, Ferrari's head ofproduct portfolio development, told apacked press conference that the carmakeris paying more attention to fuel economywith the California - something new forFerrari, whose other fuel-swilling racecarsget no more than I 6 miles per gallon, ne-
' cording to government estimates,'We're on a roadmap to decrease fuel-

Here's a hint toput young train enthu-slasts on the right track for discovery:Tiny engineers are setting a boxcar full offun at Kohl Childrén's Museum's newesteducational exhibit, Let's Play Railway.From table-top train set-ups that childrencan manipulate themselves to large-scale models of train cars they can climbaboard, the exhibit offers an exciting wayfor children to explore and learn aboutthe wide world of trains.
Since debuting in late September andhosting a Grand Opening on October 7,the exhibit has already proven a runawayhit for young visitors. The exhibit, spon-sored locally by CN, will remain on dis-play through May 4, 2009
'ChIldren will have a wonderful andrewarding time exploring the Let's PlayRailway exhibit," said Sheridan Turner,President and CEO of the Museum. "Thisexhibit offers activities that encouragebudding engineers at all ability levels toexplore and learn from their environmentwhile practicing fundamental physical,óognitive, emotional and social skills andlearning critical rail safety rules."
Guests enter the exhibit by passing bya life-size railroad crossing gate (watchfor the flashing red lights!). Once in theexhibit, children are greeted with a Iarg-
- er-than-life three-car train modeled afterthe popular BRIO® toy train line.
The locomotive car, complete with a
puffy white steam cloud soaring towardthe ceiling, leads off the train, followed inclose succession by a cattle car and redcaboose. Each car invites- guests toclimb aboard and search around fordozens of Interactive elements to playwith. -
For example, in the Engineer's Cab,young conductors use levers, dials, but-tons and cranks that trigger realisticwhistles, chugging engines, and othersound effects. Searching around thelocomotive, guests will find a railwaymaze on the train car's wheels, and acowcatcher that doubles as a xylophone.
Animal lovers will find the CattleWagon irresistible. Inside the doors,they'll find some precious cargo a pre-tend pony and cow for children to tendto. A milking stool, brushes, and feed-bags let children get the livestock readyfor blue ribbons at the county fair. To aug-ment the experience, children can alsoharvest corn from a nearby field and usewheelbarrows to deliver the crops to feedtò their new animal friends.
Bringing up the rear, of course, is thelittle red Caboose. Round Is the themefor this train car: after crawling Into thecaboose through a wheel tunnel, chiidrêncan guide soft foam balls through amulti-level maze by turning cranks, liftinglevers, and rotating wheels.
After completing play In the oversize

train, children can visit the Workin' Onthe Railroad station, featuring the famil-lar BRIO® Railway and Builder Systemsthat let chiidrén navigate wooden traincars on grooved tracks throughout asmall town. Specially designed tableswith holes in the center let children getright into the center of the action.
The exhibit sponsor, CN, isa companydedicated to rail safety education. Theexhibit's Safety Center includes life-say-ing tips on how to be safe around trains-and railroad tracks. For more informationand additional resources - availablethrough CN's community responseefforts, please visit www.cn.ca/oble.
During the opening weeks of the exhib-it, guests were treated to a specialbonus, the opportunity to take rides on amotorized child-sized train on Museumproperty, courtesy óf the Great ChicagöKiddie Express. "Being -able to climbaboard and take a train ride after expiar-ing the exhibit really helped complete thefull railway experiencefor children," saidTurner. Plans are underway to bring thekiddie train for a return visit in springbefore the exhibit closes.
Let's Play Rallway' was developed by theBetty Brinn Children 's Museum ¡ri cooperationwith BAIO® and is sponsored locally by CN.

CENTRAL SUBURBAN LEAGUE NORTH WVISION SUPREME COURT
Top players ready to gùide teamTyler Ponticelli says
he's been thinking aboutthis season all summer. Heweight-lifted and workedhard to get ready for the2008-09 campaign.
Ponticelli played in all19 of Glenbrook North'sgames in 2007-08, 'averag-ing 13.2 points and five re-bounds. The 6-foot-7 for-ward is one of the top twoexperienced players re-turning - along with AlexDragicevich - who had animpact on the Spartanslast season. He shot 62percent and was 44 per-Cent from three-pointrange. He also was 64 per-cent from the free-throwline.
Ponticelli, a four-yearstarter, played on the2005 state championshipteam as well as in severalbig games in Illinois.
GBN head coach DavidWeber plans to take ad-vantage of Ponticelli's sizeand his inside play. WhilePonticelli scored a lotfrom the outside, he is ca-pable of driving to thebasket.
On defense, Weberlooks for his big man topost up and be a teamleader in rebounding.
Alex Dragicevich
As a sophomore, AlexDragicevich burst on tothe Spartans scene, scor-Ing 16 points per game.The 6-foot-6 junior guardmade one ofthe largestcontributions to GBN'ssuccess in 2007-08. Heshot 48 percent from thefield and 48-for-66 (73 per-cent) from the free-throwline.
Dragicevich, a residentofNorthbrook, is one ofthe most skilled playerson a team that is loadedwith talent. Dragicevichplayed with the AAU lili-
fois Wolves last summerto prepare for this season.
Glenbrook North canshoot the threes andDragicevich again will bein the mix. He converted43-of-113 attempts fromthree-point land and thisseason should be no differ-ent. He is a potent outsidescorer, but can also driveto the basket. Dragicevichis regarded as the bestball-handler on the Spar-tans, and is a strong re-bounder.
Coach David WeJ.ersays Dragicevich will haveto get the ball a lot for theSpartans to succeed. WithPonticelli at forward, thepair will be called upon forleadership and to play akey role in clutch situa-tions.
Weber predicts Drag-icevich will go Division I in
. . A'.- '-i \ - L_ i t .._ e
college.
"Dragicevich is one ofthe most talented playersin Illinois," Weber said."He's a physical player,but has the skills to makethe difference in closegames."
Charles McKinney
As a sophomore on thevarsity level in 2007-08,Charles McKlnney couldn'twait to get his seasonstarted.
But fate made him waitawhile. McKinney injuredhis wrist in the preseasonand had to sit out the firstmonth of the season.When he finally returned,the lanky 6-1 guard madethe most of his court time.
In his debut at theLuther North HolidayTournament, he led the of-fensive attack in thechampionship game

against Zion-Benton with16 points. By mid-January,McKinney was a key partof East's offense. Hescored 12 points in a keyCentral Suburban LeagueNorth win over NilesNorth, prompting praisefrom his head coach.
"McKinney missednine games because of hisinjury" Glenn Olson said."This is his sixth gameback and we're 5-1 withhim out there. And in thisgame (vs. Nues North), hescored four crucial pointswhen Nues North made arun at us."
McKinney ended up ay-eraging 13 points and sixrebounds last season.
Danhi Wilson
There is no questionthat Danhi Wilson wasfront-and-center last win-ter when Maine East

forged its amazing ride inthe state tournament.
Wilson, a 6-foot-3 for-ward, led the Demons totheir first regional title in36 years. In the openinground of the Maine SouthRegional, Wilson chalkedup 21 points in East's 84-66 victory over NorthsidePrep. But the best was yetto come.
Playing No. 3-seededVon Steuben in theEvanston Sectional, East(6th seed) needed a monu-mental effort, and it gotone from Wilson. Whileonly a junior last season,Wilson stepped up andtook charge ofthe offenseas he chalked up an amaz-ing 32 points and hauleddown 14 rebounds in a 70-65 victory.
"Danhi was just out-standing," said first-year

East skipper Glenn Olson."His effort was so hugetonight."
Wilson was just as im-portant in the regular sea-son where he averaged 17points and eight reboundsa game as East went 18-11overall.
Ramm Zacharia
Ramm Zacharla is theonly returning starterfrom last year's NilesNorth team that went 9-17overall and 3-7 in the CSLNorth. The 6-foot-3 seniorforward is a deadly out-side shooter, who aver-aged 10 points in 2007-08.
Zacharia, one of fiveseniors on the Vikings thisseason, will serve as oneof the team captains. Hisleadership skills shouldbenefit some of theyounger players on asquad that will need towork hard in practice andin games to be successful.
Zacharia says thecoaching staff is lookingfor him to score more in2008-09 and crash theboards, offensively and ondefense. Zacharia sayshe's up for the challengeto help his team and turnthe program into a win-fling one.
Zacharia spent thesummer in the weightroom and he says he'sstronger, which shouldhelp him with rebounding.
His personal goals areto lead the Vikings inscoring and earn all-con-ference honors.
Zacharia, a resident ofSkokie, also played volley-ball during his first twoyears at Niles North.

Nues North has one starter returning from the 2007-08 season. Ramm Zacharis, a 6-foot-3 senior forward is the only player back withstarting experience. Since the other four starting positions will have new players, it will takethe Vikings' time to IearH coach BUI Pistorius' system.

Although the Vikings will be young, this team has been together

KEY GAMES
The Vikings have two early-season tournaments and they would like to wincouple of games at each tourney. The Nues West (Nov. 24-28) and the
Wheeling Tournaments (Nov. 22-27) will be primers for the CSL North season. Theimportant games in the CSL North will be Glenhrook North or Dec. 9 (away)

Last season, Ramm Zacharla was ajunior on a senior-dominated team. In2008-09, he's a senior on ajunior-domi-nated squad. The 6-foot-3 forward is thelone returning senior who played qualityminutes for the Vikings lastyear.
Head coach Bill Pistorius lost 10 sen-iors from a team that finished 9-17 over-all and 3-7 in the CSL North. This season,Pistorjus is anticipating a better team
with more talent, and he said thatZacharia Will be his key player to turnthe Vikings' fortunes around.
"Being one of five seniors on this teamthis yeai I want to contribute more withmy leadership and play," Zacharia said."Coach is looking at me to score more. Iam the only senior back with experience,but I'm up for the challenge to helpingmy team win. We had our struggles lastyear. But the guys have worked hard dur-ing the offseason in the weight room andon the court. We've been working on thatteam chemistry and bonding to be suc-cessful this year."

WOLVESAT A GLANCE
Coach: FritzWuifram (10-40 in
two seasons)
2007-08 record:3-21 overall
OUTLOOK
The star system - with the transfer of leading scorer Nh Garcia to Evanston - is being replaced by a team
approach with every player working together on the same page. Garcia's 20 points pergame won't be easy to replace, especially against the murderous conference schedule the Wolves play. Makingprogress in the CSL South will be the first goal. The program has won just three conferencegames in the past three seasons.
STRENGTHS
Head coach Fritz Wuifram feels he has a dozen
players he can use in rotations withoutskipping a beat. Junior point guard Lorenzo Fiolmay be one of the most improved players in the
conference and could join senior R.J. Dilay in an all-lefty
backcourt.
KEY GAMES
Any time the Wolves play Hiles North it's a significantgame on both schedules, and this year they meet Dec. 6 at
North. "Besides that one, every game in theconference ¡s a key game for us," said Wultram."Those are the games we're trying to focus on."

Danhi Wilson, a 6-foot-3 forward, was Maine East's key offensiveweapon last year, averauin 17 points and eiUht rebounds.
Maine East second-year head coach Glenn 01-son has to be hoping hisboys basketball playershave a vivid memory oflast season.
Under the guidance ofOlson and the talents of anumber of athletes, East'steam made a bit of schoolhistory last February TheDemons, who finishedwith an impressive recordofl8-11, won a regional ti-tie to end a 36-yeardrought at the Park Ridgeschool.
After placing third inthe Central SuburbanLeague North, Olson'ssquad toppled Northridge
STRENGTHS
According to Olson, the biggest asset the Demons will havethis winter is their scoring strenqth. With Wilson, theKahn brothers (Shareq and Nuse), Dwight Davis and CharlesMcKinney, East will have outstanding abilityto get to the basket.
KEY GAMES
The first game of the 2008-09 season is thecontest Olson believes is the most
important. That will happen during theBattle of the RidgeThanksgiving
Tournament co-hosted byRidgewood and Northridge Prep this week.
Prep 84-66 in the seniifi-nals of the Maine SouthRegional. Then, facing No.3-seeded Von Steuben(from the Evanston Sec-tional) in the champi-onship game, the Demonsstunned the favorites for a70-65 victory.
And while the Demonslost some height from lastyear's team in Avery andPlez Roche, the good newsfor Olson is that the bulkof his 2007-08 squad willbe back on the court.
"We have a lot of goodkids on this team andtheir expectations arehigh," Olson said. "But wewill be a different team.We'll be smallex but moreskilled, especially with ourguard play."
The Demons will in-deed have strong core ofplayers returning. Leadingthe way will be seniorDanhi Wilson. Wilson, a 6-foot-3 forward, who wasEast's key offensiveweapon last year, averag-ing 17 points and eight re-bounds.
"Danhi could end upbeing our all-time scoringleader," Olson said. "Hewill be very important,both with his play andwith his leadership."
Another major athletein the mix will be juniorCharles Mcklnney. McKin-ney, a 6-1 junior guard,
lost the first half of lastseason with a wrist injuryHe made his return at theLuther North Holiday
OUTLOOK
Expectations are quite high this winter as East brings back a solid core of experienced athletes.Last season, the Demons had an amazing finish in the state tournament. Olson's squad pulled off a major upset in beating VonSteuben 70-65 for the Maine South Regional championship.
CONCERNS
Probably the toughest hurdle facingOlson's squad will be size. Lastyear, the Demons benefited from having
seniors Avery and Plez Roche on the hardwood.Avery was 6-foot-4 and Plez was 6-2.
QUOTABLE
"We're going to be different from last year. I thinkwe'll be more skilled overall, especially with ourguard play. And we'll display a fun style of basketball.I think people will enjoy watchingus this year.'
COACH GLENN OLSON
Tournament and neverlooked back in averaging13 points for the season.
Other players who areexpected to be in key rolesare Dwight Davis (5-9,
point guard), Nuse Khan(5-10, guard), Sbareq Khan
(5-9, guard), Robert Dozie
(6-1, forward), Osama Anis
(6-2, forward), Abdul
Nader (6-O, guard) and
Sergio Muro (5-9, guard).
"We should be able to
score with getting the ballto Wilson, McKfnney,
Davis and the Khan broth-ers," Olson said, "Butwith our size, we're going
to have to be able to boxout and rebound."
