Watch Hold Village Hall Forum
The Downers Grove Watch held a forum to discuss the Village Hall project put forth by the village council to include four possible proposals and bids to build a new combination Village Hall and Police Station.
Included in the project is the sale of a portion of the land which presently houses our municipal buildings.
The forum was held to better understand the implications of the project as it relates to cost and taxpayer responsibility.
The exchange of ideas and concerns were very productive and gave residents an opportunity to ask pointed question of our panel.
We would like to thank the panelists for their time and professionalism in this endeavor.
David Fieldman – Village Manager
David Olsen – 81st District State Representative

Sharply divided Illinois Supreme Court keeps redistricting question off fall ballot
I am deeply disappointed by today's ruling. The people of Illinois overwhelmingly support independent redistricting, but the decision came in favor of the corrupt Chicago Machine who fear that having an independent body draw district maps will erode their power.
Politics shouldn't be about maintaining power, it should be about making government work for the people. That's why I am proud to support political reforms like term limits and fair maps, reforms that will get Springfield working for us again.
-Rep. David Olsen, 81st District

Marinated Beef Shawarma bowls with the most fragrant Persian rice Pilaf. I loaded this shawarma bowl up with fresh cucumbers, sliced onions, kalamata olives, and a dollop of baba ganoush. It's seriously so delicious!
I've gotta say, I haven't met a beef shawarma wrap that I didn't like. But this beef shawarma bowl is ??.
I have been craving, can't stop, won't stop, obsessing over this amazingly flavorful
salad bowl of shredded beef shawarmas, creamy, yet light, baba ganoush, and the most fragrant persian rice pilaf of your life. But this is more than just delicious, flavorful shredded beef. This recipe is all about the homemade, fragrant Lebanese rice pilaf that's super easy to make and it's 1000% more delicious than anything you've had from a Middle Eastern restaurant. This bowl is salty from the feta cheese I crumbled over the top for good measure, veggieful from all the fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions AND just plain old POW ?? in your face with flavors from the beef shawarma I marinated and grilled up. Seriously though, I'm not quite sure if the internet is ready for the best shawarma bowl ever but I am so ready for you guys to give this a try.
I'm just going to say that even the people out there that are kind of skeptical with all the stuff going on in this here bowl need to give this a try. I mean, beef shawarma might not really be your thing, and that's okay, I get that, maybe you prefer white meat chicken shawarma or dark meat — whatever it is that tickles your shawarma fancy use it and –> make these.
You really can't go wrong with a rainbow of veggies, because healthy doesn't have to mean less tasty. We're going for flavor, crunch, and versatility. And by versatility I do mean that you can pretty much sneak any veggies you've got lying around in the refrigerator into these bowls. I love roasted carrots and cauliflower to go into these bowls too. Swap out and use what you have, trust me, it's just as good.
Remember when I made baba ganoush [1] last week and told you that the most amazing shawarma bowls were on their way? THEY'RE HERE. But fear not, if you aren't a big fan of baba ganoush, there's also my classic hummus recipe [2] that would taste just as delicious drizzled or dolloped all over the shawarmas.
Coming from a mega shawarma-loving family, this is totally our love language. I joked with my husband the day of our wedding about showing up on time and grabbing a quick shawarma before the wedding started.
YES. We totally mean shawarma business.
Let's talk about the persian rice pilaf for this recipe – AKA one of my most favorite parts.
This is one aspect of todays shawarma bowls that had me stumped for some time. I've been making this rice pilaf for years but always felt that it was lacking that nuttiness that you get when you order vermicelli rice from a Middle Eastern restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the rice was on point — cooked through and everything but it was never as fragrant. Well, that was until one day I kinda "burned" the vermicelli, or so I thought. What a happy mistake that was! The secret to good persian rice pilaf is letting the vermicelli brown. And I do mean BROWN. Not darken, not golden, not kinda brown, but deep dark red BROWN. Where you stop to think okay, think I need to chuck this because its so reddish brown that I don't know if I can use it anymore — that's actually perfect. The nuttiness that Persian rice pilaf is known for comes from the flavor development with the vermicelli browned in ghee.
So I guess you really do learn from your mistakes. And then you kind of do it over and over again on repeat to get perfect persian vermicelli rice pilaf. Or.. Er.. something like that.
And while we're on the subject of perfecting things. The marinade for this shawarma is awesome-sauce times like a million. It's a simple 2 tablespoons of shawarma seasonings. Don't fret if your local grocery store doesn't carry it (you can pick it up here [3].) My local Middle Eastern store makes their own (shawarmas and seasonings) and they are just our favorite. Anyone in Houston, please get the Phoenicia shawarma seasoning for beef. Seriously. So. Good. There are various recipes available online to make your over shawarma seasonings as well. I haven't found one that i'm totally in love with so I won't share any links. But make sure that all spice is one of the main ingredients if you decide to make it at home. That's the first (and most important) seasoning on my package.
And that's it guys, go forth, make shawarma bowls and thank me later. ?

John Stewart has united both the Green Lanterns and the Sinestro Corps under his leadership, but a greater threat from his own future is poised to destroy both Corps in one swoop! Your Major Spoilers review of Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #20 awaits!
Writer: Robert Venditti
Penciler: Rafa Sandoval
Inker: Jordi Tarragona
Colorist: Tomeu Morey
Letterer: Dave Sharpe
Editor: Mike Cotton
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Previously in Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps: "John Stewart and Hal Jordan need the help of the Sinestro Corps to save the universe from an unidentified threat. Meanwhile, Sarko has located a crucial source of the Corps power. Will Hal and the Green Lantern Corps be able to stop Sarko from destroying everything?"
This issue hits the ground running, as the Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps are under siege on planet Mogo by Sarko's army, which seems to be composed of massively powerful ring constructs. Hal take the fight right to them, while John commands his forces in the field, with the assistance of Time Master Rip Hunter. Sarko's plan seems to be centered on a remote sector of space, a dead area where nothing of consequence has happened… Nothing except the world where Hal Jordan hid the Gauntlet of Krona, an artifact that nearly drove him nuts during one of his absences from the GLC. (You may remember his long-haired look with the trench coat? It's okay if you didn't, I reviewed the issues and they're kind of a blur to me.) As things come together, the Yellow/Green Lanterns are forced to give up their rings and surrender, while Hal Jordan will be forced to face a creation of his own will, a living creature of the Gauntlet… and it's not looking good for him.
There are some new twists in this issue, what with the time travel, and I enjoy the idea of Hal, Kyle (who barely even registers in this issue, as he and Soranik Natu rush back to the infirmary, but it's good to see him in his original costume), Guy and Jon trying to integrate the light of fear with the light of will. (If nothing else, it speaks to their ability to finally try to overcome the endless mistakes of the Guardians Of The Universe, who have been shown since 2006 to be spectacularly, murderously wrong over and over again.) I really enjoy Rafa Sandoval's art here, taking the "giant war against unstoppable foes" that has been the only Green Lantern plot for over a decade and helping to make it fresh again. I haven't been following this book very closely, but I still immediately recognize characters like Arkillo, Soranik and such, making the massive army that is our cast much more enjoyable and palatable for me. Also: The creators get an extra half-star for the inclusion of a Sinestro Corpsman named "Space Ape", who is an ape from space.
You can't get any better than that…
I'm always a little intimidated to take on an issue of Green Lantern, because of the massive cosmic scope of it all and the fact that there are just so many characters to take in, but the creators do a good job of making this one approachable, and the massive threat necessary to challenge the Corps much less of a left-field mountain of madness than was true of the 'War Of Light' and whatever was up with Volthoom. Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #20 ends up balancing the action with the full-volume explodey quite well, avoiding some of the confusion and convolution of recent years and delivering a solid, well-drawn adventure, earning 3 out of 5 stars overall. There's still a massive cast and universe-ending stakes, but it still works for the casual reader as a single issue story…[taq_review]

CLEVELAND: Police say a teenager suspected in the shooting of a 13-year-old girl following Cleveland Cavaliers� championship parade last week has been taken into custody.
An arrest warrant had been issued Monday for the 15-year-old boy. WJW-TV reports police say he was taken into custody on Tuesday.
Clevleand.com reports Cuyahoga County prosecutors say the boy was charged with felonious assault and improper discharge of a firearm on a public roadway, among other offenses.
Officers broke up a fight between a group of teenagers last Wednesday. Shots rang out shortly afterward. The teenage girl was shot in both legs.
The suspect led police on a foot chase and told officers he fired two shots at a crowd of people after the parade.
Police are working to identify a second suspect.

I took along my Nikon F2 with a 50mm lens and some Fujifilm Acros black and white film. For whatever reason I found myself pointing my lens upward toward the roof lines. I wasn't out to do any serious photography that day and I can't say there was a conscious decision to capture images like that. A couple of these were taken later that day in Taylor or Hutto with a zoom lens I had recently acquired. Again, some roof line photos made it on to the roll. I liked a few of these and could see myself doing this again - deliberately next time.

Does your child experience "Growing Pains"?
Growing pains. Night pains. Shin splints.
These are all types of leg pains that children can experience in their lifetimes (Evans, 2006).
But what are growing pains? Surely growing shouldn't be painful?
In this video, Dr Christian discusses growing pains and one potential mechanism for its development - problems in the lower back. A recent study showed in 9-15 year olds who experience leg pain, it often preceded lower back discomfort (Fuglkjaer, 2018). This follows on from a study done in 2015, where researchers found that spinal manipulative therapy helped to reduce the pain experienced in the leg (de Beer, 2015).
A thorough examination by a health professional (chiropractor, osteopath, physiotherapist, General Practitioner) may be of benefit.

6th fastest Cambridge college, 8th college inc. Oxford crews, 10th overall inc. Lightweight crews, in a time of 14:40.8
Callum McKenzie reports:
We have had some pretty good training this term, and ultimately it was nice to put in a solid result at Fairbairns to reflect that. We didn't have the ideal week leading up to this race. CNR + BCD + two day post-BCD hangover + crappy 2 boat rule meant we only had 1 very questionable outing in the week before the race. There wasn't much of a worry with forgetting how to row, or losing fitness, it was more of a mentality step off and loss of training intensity. However, we didn't dwell on that too much and had a good crew chat the night before the race going over what we have covered this term and what we wanted out of this race. After toying with a standing start or running start in training, we opted for the running start and kicked things off with a smooth r34. Going past the boat houses was a bit of a blur, but we made sure just to commit early on and get the catches in, as we had a fairly healthy tailwind. We rounded Green Dragon bridge very tightly, thanks to Basma, and once straight we wanted to keep the power there. We haven't been the best crew balancing the boat around the corners, so it was nice once we got onto the straight to let the boat run underneath us and have a bit more of a stable platform, where we settled onto a nice r32 rhythm. As we got to the bottom of the reach the pain was setting in quite firmly and out of Ditton we pushed again, making sure we were at full length. Our race plan was that once we got round First post we would sprint for the finish, going for the mentality of rather blowing before the finish line, than finishing knowing we could have taken 10 more strokes. We committed to this very well. We took the rating up to 36 and just ploughed our way down. We tried to make sure to keep length, but to be honest I am not sure most of us knew what was going on at that point, being ~13 minutes into the race. The finish seemed to last forever, no-one knowing where the line was past the motorway bridge (about 70 metres?), and waiting for the siren to sound whilst going full pelt in the water was a horrible experience. In my opinion we had a solid, committed row, with a strong finish, however at times we lacked a bit of composure and fluidness. That said, I was very pleased with our result. Placing 6th college crew is the best we have done in a very long time (at least 10 years - as far back as the website results go), and we were 3, 4 and 7 seconds behind First and Third, Jesus and LMBC respectively, and were 10 seconds clear of 7th placed Kings. I feel that if we had better preparation into this race we could have picked up those seconds to place slightly higher - however that is the curse of post-CNR BCD! All in all, we are in a good place at the moment and are very much looking forward to smashing a few sterns come Lent bumps!! Cave Adsum.

Bow: Edith Ross, 2: Ada Krzak, 3: Charlotte McGarry, 4: Robyn Hamer, 5: Claire Watkins, 6: Anna Peel, 7: Chrysoula Litina, Stroke: Lydia Price, Cox: Jordan Sandberg
4th college women's crew, 5th women's crew overall, in 16:33.8
Claire Watkins reports:
Marshalling was cold. Cold enough to make me wonder what sort of idiot volunteers to do Fairbairns as their 5th outing in the last 5 months... Sadly Roz was struck down by medical problems and not available, so they got me. We raced in the back of the mens division because of availability later in the day, so we left ourselves a healthy gap behind the last "senior" mens boat.
In my opinion, we had a really good row - there was a nice rhythm, the power felt consistent and didn't drop off, and we had no problems keeping the rate where it was supposed to be. As ever, the course is a bit of a blur in my head, but I know we found an extra gear coming out of First Post Corner and managed to hold onto that to the finish - credit to Lydia for completely going for it and trusting that everyone would follow!
With no idea how we'd done compared to any women's crews, the results were a pleasant surprise, and give the crew something great to build on going into Lent Bumps!

Released: 1994
Published by: Scholastic
Series: Stand Alone
Star Rating: 5 out of 5
Source: Kindergarten Classroom
Page Amount: 16
Age Group: Children's
This is the perks of having a couple kindergarten buddies, I get to find cute picture books! I won't write a review for every single one that we read, but I think I am going to start writing reviews for the good ones and the awful ones.
Since both Goodreads and Amazon fail to have a official summary about this adorable picture book… I do not have one, but I will do a quick run through of what its about.
This picture book is about this Rhino, whose name is… well… Rhino. He is heading out to lunch with his friend, um, well, I forget what kind of animal he was. But he looses his peanut butter sandwich on the way! He goes on a search to find his sandwich, and I'll leave it at that.
My friend, Lauren is obsessed with rhinos and her and I share a buddy some Fridays. She saw this book and demanded that I read it to our buddy, erm, I mean, she demanded I read it to both them. Oh, and did I say that the rhino is purple and her favourite colour is purple.
This book was ADORABLE! Its very short, its only around 16 pages so it's a very quick story, perfect for bedtime. I think this book could have used a little more, but that's coming from the girl who reads 500 page books like their nothing.
Overall, this book was adorable and I would definitely read it again.
Cover Comments
I think this cover is pretty typical for a children's books cover, but I love the purple rhino on it! Its super cute.

In My Beauty Bag
Now that we're a few days into the year, I thought I would share with you what I'm toting around in my beauty bag. And as I make changes for other seasons, I'll share again. For now, what I will say is things have changed a bit since my last in my beauty bag post.
Currently, I'm carrying my signature lip colors, red and pink. I love a good red for the right pop of color, my current favorite is Eden from NYX. For pink, I love the NARS Schiap. I've been wearing this one for years!
A little cheek highlight and mascara can pull together a look even on the worse days, For this I I like Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold and Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara. This mascara is amazing, delivering instant volume and super-saturated length for dramatically dark, stretched-out lashes.
Lastly, and one that you've heard about a million times is Chloé. Currently, I'm spritzing Chloe Fleur de Parfum. But honestly, I love them all. And find myself rotating between all the Chloé fragrances daily.

About the exhibition:
The silhouette of an ashtray left on construction paper, its colour bled by the sun. A divot or flattening, as the indentations left in carpet by loveseat legs or the settling of earth upon an interred thing. An actions afterimage treads softly but exerts real force, connecting and repelling bodies and objects across time, throughout space. Not quite the whole thing, maybe... the hole left by the thing?
About the artist:
Brett Bonk is invested in developing a highly specialized queer methodology. Equal parts plastic, pantyhose and perpetual instability, she organizes constellations of materials which orbit the viewer, only slightly sideways. Currently living and working in Calgary, Brett received her BFA in Painting from the Alberta College of Art + Design in 2017.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- When Texans owner Bob McNair rescinded the $10,000 he donated to opponents of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO,) he did not say he had changed his mind and supported HERO. Instead, in a lengthy statement, McNair talked about how he thinks opponents of the ordinance mischaracterized his donation. That was last Friday.
On Tuesday, Eyewitness News caught up with both Mayor Annise Parker and McNair. It's the first time both have spoken about the issue since the donation was rescinded.
McNair raised a lot of eyebrows when he initially donated to the anti-HERO effort. That's partly because supporters of the ordinance spoke out loud about their concerns that the NFL might consider moving the Super Bowl if Houston doesn't pass the non-discrimination ordinance.
Meanwhile, opponents of HERO seized on McNair's donation as proof the NFL would not consider moving the Super Bowl.
Then last Friday, McNair asked for his money back. On Tuesday, we caught up with Mayor Parker at a ground breaking event for the new Joint Processing Center.
"I'm pleased he aligned himself with the rest of the business community in Houston," said the Mayor, "So it's certainly something that's been on everybody's mind. But I have not had an opportunity to talk to Mr. McNair so I can thank him.
Following those comments, Eyewitness News caught up with the Texans owner at a community luncheon.
"I've issued a statement and I thank the Mayor," said McNair, who did not address the controversy directly. "I thank her very much. She's our guest from time to time at our football games, and we're happy to have her, and happy to have her again."
Both supporters and opponents of the equal rights ordinance have poured lots of money into the campaign. Both sides expect a close race on election night.

Reaction to sacking of Spain coach Julen Lopetegui
MADRID, June 13 (Reuters) - Following is reaction to the sacking of Spain coach Julen Lopetegui, who was dismissed on Wednesday, two days before their first World Cup match. Fernando Hierro has been named as Lopetegui's replacement.
"We are the national team, we represent a badge, colours, a fanbase and a country. Our responsibility and commitment is with you as well as for you. Yesterday, today and tomorrow together." Spain captain Sergio Ramos.
"Lopetegui's decision was to me inopportune, unexpected and a hasty one. It was a surprise but (Spanish football federation president Luis) Rubiales has reacted very well. He's looked out for the federation, which should always come before clubs." Former Spain international Xavi.
"I was surprised by it. It was totally unexpected. I do not know the background but such a decision two days before the first game of the team is a shock. It brings unnecessary disturbance into the federation and the team." Germany coach Joachim Loew.
"Rubiales was impeccable in his arguments for firing the coach. The values of the national team are above everything. Even if we can't win the World Cup, the Spanish are now champions of dignity." Former Spain striker Juanito.
"It would be a problem for us if (Portugal coach) Fernando Santos left." Portugal forward Bernardo Silva, whose side face Spain on Friday.
"It's never a bad decision to preserve the dignity of the national team shirt and make it count for something. And that is what Rubiales has done." Former Spain goalkeeper Santiago Canizares.
"Good luck, Fernando." Real Oviedo, the only team which Hierro has coached at a senior level.
"This is a difficult situation for our national team, but now, more than ever, we have to support them. I have a lot of confidence in the talents and mentality of this team, I am sure they can go far and challenge for the title." Chelsea and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who was not included in the squad.

Embracing uncertainty. It is a tricky concept, but one that is trumpeted by Eddie Schwartz, whose 25 years in the information security field and current role as CISO of RSA have taught him, among other things, that a focus on the unexpected is critical. Eddie, who is also chair of ISACA's Cybersecurity Task Force, will deliver the opening keynote presentation at ISACA's North America Information Security and Risk Management (ISRM) Conference this November in Las Vegas. Today, Eddie chats with us about the puzzling concept at the core of his keynote.
ISACA: What do you mean by "uncertainty" and why must we embrace it?Eddie: Security teams already know how to deal with routine problems they understand, for example, achieving regulatory compliance or preventing known malware or network exploits for which there are antivirus (AV) or intrusion detection systems (IDS) signatures. These issues are like audits where you can achieve a level of certainty and easily improve over time. However, advanced adversaries will bypass regulatory controls, use zero-day exploits, target end-users, and generally exploit unknown or unexpected weaknesses, even in the best security operations. Security plans must include a focus on the unknown unknowns, which requires us to embrace uncertainty and to plan for uncertainty aggressively.
ISACA: How is big data transforming security management?Eddie: Security managers often ask me, "Which logs should I review?" The focus for so long has been on trying to find more device logs to analyze in the hope of finding complex security threats. The last few years of tremendous losses due to state-sponsored, criminal and hacktivist groups have shown us that we need to be looking at information from a broader context—from a business context. Big data forces us to think about the universe of internal and external information that might help us understand what is happening in our organization. What is good behavior relative to users, business processes and IT systems? Where are the outliers? Big data is transforming security management, fraud, GRC, and identity management and governance.
ISACA: Why have traditional security technologies, processes and skills become ineffective?Eddie: Many traditional technology and process-level approaches to security were built on the notion that we could actually prevent most of the bad things happening in our environment. We only can prevent that which we already understand, such as existing malware, network exploits or behavioral rules that are fairly trivial to bypass. Even modern "advanced" approaches to intrusion and malware prevention have fundamental weaknesses and cannot provide certainty. Although leading security vendors are now offering advanced-technology approaches (security analytics, identity and access governance), security skills have not kept pace with both technology advancements and management requirements in terms of business adoption of big data, cloud, mobility and social media. Our industry must address this critical-skills problem and ISACA is a big part of the solution.
