III MORTON GROVE Historical Museum looking deeper at local cultures' origins

BY IGOR STUDI2XOV For Sun-Times Media I @istudenkov

Morton Grove Historical Museum is gearing up for a Theseries of exhibits aimed to recognize the many ethnic groups that make up the village community. The series was launched out of concern that, while the museum's current exhibits do a good job detailing the village's origins, they don't properly represent the history of Morton Grove's current, more diverse population. During March, April and May, the museum will have special exhibits focusing on different ethnic groups. And while the museum plans to draw on its own collections, it is reaching out to Morton Grove residents to help fill the gaps. Over the last forty years, Mor- ton Grove has become increas- ingly diverse, welcoming immi- grants from all over the world. But according to Mary Busch, the Morton Grove Historical Museum's curator, the museum's collection hasn't reflected that. "It has become so apparent that we have exhibits on our early settlers, which were largely Germans and Luxembourgers," she said. "Then came the Irish and the Italians. It's been decades now, and our population has really shifted with Filipino and East One of the new exhibits at the Morton Grove Historical Museum will focus on the shoes of different cultures.

Without spoiling anything for latecomers, Garcia is quick to support the series's contentious swan song. 'lt's fanny because people still talk about 'The Sopranos' ending because it was very unsettling. And despite the fact that 'Breaking Bad'was such an amazing show, no one is talking about the ending," she says. 'They're talking about the ending of'Dexter,'which I feel is a testament to how a show should end. It should be unsettling and it should open questions and it should leave you hungry and not be wrapped up in a box. I love the ending because it was so painful." Whichever side fans take in the great 'Dexter" debate, the conclusion was a lesson in originality - a rare find on today's screens. But it's that freshness and individualism that sets TV shows, movies and actors apart, and it's something Garcia has in spades. 'I feel locked and loaded. I feel like I know who I am, and I know where I come from and I think that's a very powerful thing out here [in LA] where people are constantly trying to become what's popular or change who they are," says the rising star. "I credit it to the city I grew up in."

12 CHICAGOSPLASH.COM FEBRUARY 9-15, 2014 finales in recent television history (websites like Vulture and Buzzfeed immediately lambasted the episode, memes exploded across the Internet and Showtime executives had to come to its defense). Without spoiling anything for latecomers, Garda is quick to support the series's contentious swan song. "It's funny because people still talk about 'The Sopranos' ending because it was very unsettling. And despite the fact that 'Breaking Bad'was such an amazing show, no one is talking about the ending," she says. "They're talking about the ending of'Dexter,' which I feel is a testament to how a show should end. It should be unsettling and it should open questions and it should leave you hungry and not be wrapped up in a box. I love the ending because it was so painful." Whichever side fins take in the great "Dexter" debate, the conclusion was a lesson in originality - a rare find on today's screens. But it's that freshness and individualism that sets TV shows, movies and actors apart, and it's something Garcia has in spades. 'I feel locked and loaded. I feel like I know who I am, and I know where I come from and I think that's a very powerful thing out here [in LAI where people are constantly trying to become what's popular or change who they are," says the rising star. "I credit it to the city Igrew up in."

BY HEATHER DORNEECKER Contributing writer

finding each other on dating site eHarmony in 2011, Anne Kuzmanich and Jeff Walker went on Afterthree dates and said "I love you" within the first week of dating. "We just knew it was meant to be," she said. "I canceled my membership right away, and he did the same." Anne is from Darien and works at the Walgreens Corpo- rate office in Northbrook. Jeff, formerly of Carol Stream, works at the Wells Fargo Regional Office in Lincolnshire and has been the assistant football coach at Ridgewood High School in Norridge for the past six years. The La Grange Park residents married Oct. 19 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Evanston, the parish they attended while they lived in the area as Jeff pursued his master's degree at Northwestern University. "Father Greg Sakowicz was a very special part of our wedding day. People said it was the most beautiful and touching ceremony they have ever been to," Anne said. Anne's friend and bridesmaid Jeannie Griggs sang "Ave Maria." After Anne and Jeff were pronounced husband and wife, a bagpiper played "Scotland the Brave," a mem- omble moment for Anne as she had dreamed of having a bagpiper play at her wedding. The bagpiper was a gift from Jeff's dad, Martin. The reception was at the East Bank Club in Chicago. Cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres were enjoyed on a terrace on the Chicago River with the French soundtrack to "Midnight in Paris" playing in the background.

A final postscript to the 2013 college football season: Duke University hod a breakout campaign, playing in the ACC title game and going to the Chick-HI-A Bowl. But the Blue Devils lost both games, in part because they hod to face back-to-back Heisman Trophy winners - Florido State's Jameis Winston and Texas A&M's Johnny Monziel. Unprecedented of course, right? Wrong. Just three years prior, in 2010, LSU faced Alabama's Mark Ingram and Auburn's CamI.. Newton in consecutive weeks. Are you one of the rare hoops fans who predicted Damian Lillard's success in the NBA? In the middle of the 201 3-14 season, the iron man point guard had the Portland Trail Blazers among the league's elite teams. Incredibly, in 20 1 2- 1 3, as o first-year player out of Weber State, Lillard led the NBA in playing time with 3,167 minutes on the court, almost 40 per game. The last rookie to top the league in that category was Efen Hayes way back in 1968-69, with an amazing 3,695 minutes for the old San Diego Rockets. s.. If you're frying to predict who will be playing in the 2014 NHI finals, don't count on two Original Six teams, even though it happened in 2013 when the Chicago beat Boston. Before that, the last time two of the Original Six franchises squared off for the Stanley Cup was in 1979, when Montreal defeated the New York Rangers. The legendary Scotty Bowman was GM of that Canadiens team. His son, Stan, was six years old at the time. Ironically, Stan was GM of the Bloc khawks when they took home the Cup in 2013.
