BOLINGBROOK – Brooks Middle School students have found a way to learn something and have fun at the same time.

Every week, several dozen Brooks students get together for an hour after school to play board games.

No, not Monopoly, Risk, or Connect Fours. These games have names like Pandemic, Settlers of Catan and Fluxx.

“These games require aspiring cognitive thinkers to really think about what’s going on,” said Brooks Gamers Club Co-Sponsor Art Barnett, who teaches language arts at the Bolingbrook school. “They don’t realize they’re learning critical thinking skills because they’re just having fun.”

Barnett considers himself a board game nut, having attended the annual Gen Con gaming convention for many years and even designing one game of his own. He used to coach the

chess team but switched to Gamers Club because chess “is too basic and it’s not as interesting as these games.”

Most of the games come from his vast collection at home or from co-sponsor William Nunez’ collection.

And most of them were designed in Europe.

“Once I teach these students a game, they teach each other,” Barnett said.

“You can do cooperative learning in a classroom at a minimal level, but if you really want to know what cooperative learning is all about, you need to come to Gamers Club.”

Barnett admits it’s a challenge to convince today’s teens to put down their video games and play board games. But once they come to Gamers Club “they love working together to beat the board.”

“These kids are getting life lessons and they don’t even realize it,” Barnett said. “I see the little twinkle Photo provided in their eye when they walk away and I know they’ve Brooks Middle School Gamers Club co-sponsor Art Barnett instructs several Brooks students on the finer points of playing board games that emphasize cognitive thinking. learned something.”

Interest in conceal carry training increases

are applicants who have completed all the required steps, obtained fingerprints, showed their firearms training certificate.”

More than 11,000 applicants are in the next phase, which allows any law enforcement agency from any jurisdiction the ability to look at the application and reject it. If state police substantiates the law enforcement agency’s claim, the applicant can be kicked out of the process.

Anyone can challenge a concealed carry instructor’s eligibility through a complaint form on the state police website.

Safety was a key issue when the new law was being discussed in Springfield. So legislators made the path to get the certificate one of the toughest in the nation, according to Ron Van Dyke, the owner of RP Shooting Sports in Joliet.

“The state doesn’t provide a curriculum to teach. We have to do that.” Van Dyke said.

“But they do provide guidelines that we used to create our course.”

According to the new law, concealed carry courses must provide students with 16 hours of training, with less time required if the applicant has previous accepted law enforcement or military training.

In those 16 hours, the curriculum must teach firearm safety, the basics of marksmanship, gun care, and weapons handling.

While safety is the most important part of Van Dyke’s course, he also teaches decision-making skills, which he said was important because of the unpredictable nature

of circumstances. He has five concealed carry instructors certified police officers on staff.

“The knowledge that comes with being an officer helps,” said RP Shooting Sports instructor John Byrne, who is also on the Joliet police force.

“We talk about what happens in situations where they may need to use a gun.”

While RP Shooting Sports is not endorsed by Joliet Police, Byrne said he and another officer were given permission for a secondary job.

Van Dyke said he has received positive feedback on the program by students.

“They went over a lot of different scenarios and different laws,” New Lenox resident Genelle Chisholm said. “They were thorough and covered every avenue in the class. You’re really going to think before you do pull the trigger.”

Chisholm now owns a gun and the permit, and plans on concealing it to keep her safe.

“I didn’t want to be a victim and I want to protect myself as needed,” she said.

Total CCW’s students also appreciated the rigors of the course, even those as experienced as Patrick Macica, who has been shooting since he was 7.

“It’s our right to own a gun, really a right and freedom,” Macica said.

While Macica knew the basics of shooting, he still found the class valuable.

“I learned about ballistics and even what’s inside a bullet,” Macica said. “The guys here are very knowledgeable and they explained the ins and outs of guns, especially safety.”

Tim Wiklacki and Charles Powell have been training people for several years on how to properly use firearms.

But after the Firearm Concealed Carry Act passed the Illinois Legislature in July — and went into effect in early 2014 — they turned their instructional sessions into a business, a New Lenox-based gun safety school called Total CCW that includes training courses for concealed carry licenses.

“Business is going good,” Powell said. “But it’s not just about making money. As a gun enthusiast, I want people to be safe with them.”

As each day passes with the new law, Illinois State Police are seeing more people apply to become certified concealed carry instructors.

More than 1,900 Illinois residents are certified concealed carry instructors as of Saturday night, according to the state police website. Will County has 113 certified instructors, many of them current or former law enforcement officials.

State police have on average received 1,000 thousand permit applications daily since it opened the process to pre-qualified citizens Dec. 18. The first day of the new law boomed with 4,525 applications, Illinois State Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said.

“Not all of those make it to the next phase, which is now a 30-day process law enforcement objection period, the hard part,” Bond said. “These

last year may be the result of the steadily recovering housing market, she said.

“As the real estate begins to start moving again, we’ll probably see more appeals,” she said.

Each year, township assessors complete an assessment of properties in their area – such as homes, commercial buildings and farms – based

on their fair market value. The assessed value of each property is used to determine property tax bills.

If owners think the assessed value of their property is incorrect, they can contact their township assessor or file an appeal with the county’s Board of Review. Property owners had until Sept. 9 to file

their appeal after notices from 24 townships in the county were published in local newspapers Aug. 7 and 8.

Novak said the Board of Review’s decisions were mailed Friday to property owners who challenged their assessments.

Language arts class builds enthusiasm for Addams students SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BOLINGBROOK – If, as the old saying goes, success is a journey and not a destination, 24 Jane Addams Middle School eighth-graders are already well down the road to a terrific future thanks to a unique language arts class.

Voices is showing remarkable results simply by allowing students to help choose curriculum content and decide how long to spend on each specific topic, according to a release from the school district.

“We go through the curriculum at a faster pace than a normal language arts class,” Gage said. “Students make decisions today about what we’re going to teach tomorrow. And when tomorrow comes, if in five minutes they don’t like what we’re reading,

we’ll go on to something different.”

Included in the plan to build character are some efforts to build a sense of camaraderie among class members, including holding a successful Saturday afternoon Thanksgiving dinner complete with a turkey cooked by Addams Dean Scott Loughrige.

“They got to hang out with kids they don’t normally hang out with,” Addams guidance counselor Dina Esposito said.

“It was great to see these kids

come together and build that community feeling.”

On the planning table, Esposito said, is a pizza party for the class and possibly some achievement incentives.

“A lot of middle school students just aren’t engaged in the entire process so we wanted to put these students together in one room to help them enjoy learning at the start of their day,” Gage said.

“This class is helping them see success and allowing them to run with it.”

WIll County officials saw more appeals on properties last year than in 2012. An improved housing market, along with the expiration of a tax break for real estate developers, may be the cause.

More than 2,100 appeals on

the assessed values of properties were filed in Will County in 2013. That is about a 12 percent increase of the number of appeals filed the year prior.

Before the economic downturn in 2009, the number of appeals used to be higher, Will County Chief Assessment Officer Rhonda Novak said.

TOOTH GRINDING Q: My husband grinds his teeth at night.

Sometimes it drives me out of the room. What can we do?

A: The good news is that, yes, there are steps that can help your husband with his–and your– problem. The technical name for your husband’s condition is bruxism. Some experts estimate that as many as 10 percent of the population deal with this grinding. And that includes children right through the elderly.

The habit is not necessarily confined to night time. People who grind their teeth in their sleep generally have no idea they’re doing it. And they may wake up feeling fine. Others, however, wake with some combination of jaw, shoulder and neck pain. Bruxism also can significantly wear teeth and loosen them. In severe cases it can crack tooth enamel and chip or break teeth.

During sleep, bruxism can cause a person’s jaw to clench at a pressure up to six times greater than the pressure during waking hours.

Cause of bruxism can vary. Stress, a sleep disorder, an abnormal bite or crooked or missing teeth all can be factors. The best person to talk to if you’re suffering from bruxism is your dentist.

Whatever the cause, your dentist will know what step to take to deal with it. If it’s stress, for instance, it’s possible that physical therapy or counseling could help. Muscle-relaxing medication or a night-time mouth guard, specially fitted by the dentist, may be the answer.

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, has vowed to help find a feasible solution to the Asian carp threat in the Great Lakes following a discussion Jan. 9 on a report by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the options for preventing the spread of aquatic nuisance species, such as the Asian carp, into the Great Lakes.

“As the congressman representing a district that includes waterways that tie the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River basin, I am keenly familiar with the issues and challenges

presented by the Asian carp and other invasive species,” Lipinski said in a statement following the meeting.

Describing the Great Lakes as “among our most precious natural resources, supporting critical fishing and tourism industries, while providing clean drinking water and unmatched recreational opportunities,” Lipinski added he was aware of the “crucial role the shipping industry plays in our country’s economy by creating jobs and commercial activity” as a member on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee.

Local business named official medal displayer for Boston Marathon

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – When Ken Posmer came home from the Boston Marathon in 2009 with his finisher’s medal, he couldn’t bring himself to throw it in the drawer with all the awards he earned from other races.

Instead, the Downers Grove engineer designed a nifty, laser-cut steel display to hang the medal from the wall.

Unlike many products that were already on the market, the display gave the medal a more polished presentation, instead of just an everyday hook.

Fast forward five years, and his wife, artist Nell Posmer, has grown the product into a business named Blue Diamond Athletic Displays offering more than a dozen different variations on the design, including some made from solid oak. Anything she can draw, he can engineer and cut with the laser at work.

This year, she secured the exclusive medal display licensing agreement for the 2014 and 2015 Boston Marathons, bringing the story full circle. It promises to be a big boost in exposure and sales for their business.

“We are excited,” Nell said. “It is a small mom-andpop company. We did create a wonderful product, and we never cheapened our product.”

Posmer began courting the Boston Marathon organizers more than a year ago after selling the displays at smaller races for the last few years.

“I got the biggest one under my belt now, so I need to tackle the other five [major marathons],” she said. “I don’t think anything is easy, you just have to work hard for it.”

She first saw the potential in the display when she brought it with her to the Chicago Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. She only had the original display her husband made for himself, but she brought

it along to her tent where she was commissioned as the race’s official artist.

By the end of the day more than 50 people had given her their contact information so that Ken could make them a display for their medals, she said.

“At that point we were really thinking about it, obviously there was a need for this in the market,” she said.

She first tried for the Boston Marathon license last year, and the family was in Boston to meet with race organizers during the tragic bombing. Posmer and her family were blocks away from the explosion near the finish line. Her brother was running in the race, but neither he nor her family were injured.

“This year we are able to return for a good [reason],” she said. “We don’t want to define the Boston Marathon with what happened last year.”

The couple has designed the wood display and several other metal variations.

“This is an American dream coming true,” said Nell, who is from Sri Lanka.

“We have been so blessed by all of our customers.”

Displays can hang multiple medals, and range in price from $65 to $170.

WOODRIDGE – The Village of Woodridge will soon decide whether to lift its ban on video game gambling.

During a workshop meeting on Thursday, the Woodridge Village Board decided to bring the issue to a vote at a future meeting after discussion and statements from residents – eight people spoke, seven in favor of allowing it, one against.

Village Administrator Kathleen Rush said the topic will come to a vote either at the Jan. 23 or Feb. 13 meetings.

While no formal vote took place during the discussion workshop, five out of the six village trustees expressed approval for lifting the ban. Mayor Gina Cunningham did not publicly take a side.

“It’s important to allow our businesses to compete,” said Trustee Greg Abbott, who was in favor of lifting the ban.

Under state law, only businesses that hold liquor licenses would be allowed to operate the machines, including taverns, restaurants or fraternal organizations.

There are 24 businesses in the village that would be eligible under the guidelines, according to village documents.

Each could install up to five machines, according to state law.

Under the law, the state takes 30 percent of the revenue generated from each machine, with one-sixth of that going back to the local municipalities. The profits after that are split 50-50 between the machine operator and the owner of the establishment where the machines are located. Municipalities can also charge an annual fee per machine as well.

Revenue for the Village of Woodridge would largely depend on how many businesses choose to offer video gaming terminals, as well as how many terminals they install.

A village document projects as much as $284,375 in annual revenue, though that figure assumes all 25 businesses install five machines.

Trustee Pamela Beavers was the only trustee to voice opposition. She said while she understands the business side of it, there’s a reason why

Communities split on video gaming

other neighboring towns have not lifted their bans on video gaming.

“We have a greater responsibility to the village as a whole and to our citizens,” Beavers said. “I don’t want to see Woodridge turn into something else and less desirable.”

Rich Moore – owner of Shanahan’s Food & Spirits at 1999 E. 75th St. – said allowing video gaming will add another source of revenue for his business.

“If you opt not to have [video gaming] you’re at a physical and monetary disadvantage to others communities,” Moore said.

Are you suffering with

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis?

Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel?

Have you tried different treatments but continue to suffer?

Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system?

Have you given up and decided to just live with it?

The digestive system assimilates food (carbs, fats and proteins) to produce energy. It breaks down food into nutrient forms that your body can absorb. It uses enzymes, good bacteria and hydrochloric acid to break down food to a usable form. Your gut is a barrier, a tube that starts in your mouth, continues as your esophagus, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. 80% of your immune system is in your gut. When you break down the barrier (gut lining), toxins can “leak” into the blood stream leading to an immune response, inflammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you find the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, my name is Dr. Jeffrey E. Forzley with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the nervous system, immune system, endocrine system (hormones), diet essentials (Neuro-‐Metabolic Care), manage the underlying cause and use natural therapies to manage digestive disorders.

There are many essentials required for proper digestion.

Let’s talk about a few…

Zinc is necessary to make hydrochloric acid (HCL). HCL is needed to break down food (protein) in the stomach and for production of methyl groups. Methyl groups turn on tumor suppressor genes and turn off oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deficient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deficiency of methyl groups. HCL deficiency also leads to growth of pathological bacteria like H. Pylori, which can cause gastritis, stomach ulcers and possibly stomach cancer.

Probiotics (good bacteria) are normally found in the gut.

Optimal levels are needed for a proper functioning digestive system. These probiotics are also part of your immune

Call for your FREE*

system. They play an important role in the protective barrier in your gut. Your gut makes up 80% of your immune system due to this barrier system. Antibiotics kill pathologic bacteria and infections but they also kill good bacteria and cause gut dysbiosis (imbalance). This dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies.

Digestive system inflammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inflammation leads to production of cytokines (inflammatory cells). These cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inflame the brain cells. The brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. This leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inflammatory cascade which exponentially worsens over time. Successfully managing digestive conditions involves balancing the nervous system, digestive system and immune system as well as improving the diet, decreasing gut inflammation and detoxifying the body.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. The cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inflammation from stress and poor diet generalized condition of the digestive system poor signaling from the brain to the digestive system for proper function.

Medications to treat digestive disorders can weaken your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer. These medications may give you symptom relief but have side effects and DO NOT ADDRESS the UNDERLYING CAUSE of your condition.

Testimonial As someone who lives with chronic nausea, poor digestion and anxiety, I assumed I was out of options when countless doctors told me that there was nothing else they could do for me. They told me it was likely all in my head. Then I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very confident he could help me. I was so excited that I cried. No other doctor has ever been so much on my side. Now, 8 weeks into treatment, I am nausea free, anxiety free and my digestion is normal. I have started living a life I never thought I could live. My body is a machine, slowed and dirtied by processed foods and environmental toxins.

But with the help of Dr. Forzley, my body is on the way back to an optimal state for long term health and happiness.

Veronica M.

Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a digestive condition that involves gluten sensitivity like Celiac Disease but is not an autoimmune disorder. It involves digestive symptoms (pain, bloating…), fatigue, joint pains as well as neurologic symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, poor memory, brain fog and difficulty concentrating.

Celiac Disease, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases. An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your body instead of protecting it. There is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the effects of the tissue destruction.

If you have an autoimmune disease like Celiac, Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis and you do not balance and calm down the autoimmune destruction, your immune system can attack other tissues and cause multiple autoimmune disorders. It is common for people with an autoimmune disorder to have multiple autoimmune diseases for this reason.

Medications are not always the long term answer.

30 minute consultation:

Holistic therapy can manage digestive conditions by: 1) finding and balancing the underlying cause and…

2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

Cemetery Foundation in search of Civil War vets’ descendants

By ED McMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com

DOWNERS GROVE – The Oak Hill and Oak Crest Cemetery Foundation is getting a boost this winter in its restoration efforts from the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. In addition to other work, the organizations are looking for descendants of certain Civil War veterans buried in the cemeteries to sign applications for new grave markers that would be paid for by the federal government.

Of the 44 Civil War veterans in the cemeteries, two graves

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

are unmarked, and two more need new markers to replace old, damaged ones.

The federal government will pay for veterans’ grave markers if there is a descendant to sign the application.

“I can’t sign for it,” said David Bailey Sr., a member of the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. “We do all the paper work, we just need somebody to sign it.”

There is more research to be done, but the organizations believe Frank C. Moberg, who lived from 1839 to 1917, is buried in Oak Hill cemetery, though there is no marker.

Same with Herman Piltz

(1830-1898), whose last name also was spelled Peltz, Pils, Pels and Pilz. He fought in the 52nd Ohio Infantry.

There is anecdotal evidence Moberg fought in the war but the organizations have not yet found concrete proof.

The two markers that need to be replaced belong to Judson Farrar (1836-1863), who fought in the 8th Illinois Cavalry, and Matthias Keuchel (1829-1874) who fought in the 13th Illinois Infantry.

Farrar’s marker is of specific interest, said Oak Hill/ Oak Crest Foundation Board Member Lois Sterba, because he is the grandson of the man

who founded the cemetery, Dexter Stanley.

“The people who are buried there deserve at least to have the graves marked so that in future years people will be able to recognize them,” she said.

In addition to the new markers, the Sons of Union Veterans also plans to help the foundation remove brush and otherwise tidy the area around the graves in the old cemeteries, as well as clean the markers.

Both graveyards have fallen into disrepair from vandalism and lack of maintenance, and the foundation formed last year to organize volunteer efforts to restore the cemeteries.

The older of the two, Oak Hill, is the oldest cemetery in Downers Grove and houses the graves of some of Downers Grove’s prominent early families and pioneers, along with the graves of Civil War veterans. It was founded by the

Stanley family when Dexter Stanley buried his son-in-law, Luther Farrar, in 1836, Sterba said.

The two cemeteries sit sideby-side in unincorporated DuPage County near Downers Grove and Lisle at the corner of Howard and Glenview avenues.

The organizations plan to have a dedication ceremony this spring after the work is completed.

Bailey also helped to spearhead two similar efforts in Plainfield and the Mount Greenwood neighborhood of Chicago.

“These guys often made the ultimate sacrifice, and most of them offered to make it, and they had short lives after the war,” he said. “It’s something that we should do.”

POLL QUESTION: How difficult it is for you to not use your phone while driving? Vote online at mysuburbanlife.com.

An opportunity for reflection, optimism The new year provides an opportunity to outline goals and expectations for the future. It also is an occasion to reflect on the events of the past and learn for those experiences.

The year was distinguished by some success. One of the greatest legislative achievements was the negotiation of public employee pension reform. While an extremely difficult and emotional process, I believe the law is fair to the workers who depend on the system as well as Illinois taxpayers. This reCOMMUNITY form is the foundation of preVOICE dictability in state finances.

Christine It ensures security for state Radogno retirees, saves taxpayers and reassures employers as they make decisions on investing in Illinois. While we have a great deal more to do to improve Illinois’ jobs climate, this is a start.

Several state budget transparency and accountability measures I sponsored took effect Jan. 1. These laws allow taxpayers to more easily review how state grant monies are being used and prohibit funds from being used for political purposes.

I also was proud to sponsor an important public health law.

Children younger than 18 will no longer be able to use indoor UV tanning beds. Indoor tanning is a known carcinogen that increases the chance of melanoma by 75 percent for young people. “Sunless” or spray tanning is exempt.

Motorists also will want to be aware of two new laws. As of Jan. 1, Illinois will ban the use of cellphones while driving unless using hands-free technology. Violating this new law will cost $75 for a first offense and repeat offenders could see fines of $150.

Many Illinois drivers will likely be more excited about the law increasing Illinois’ maximum speed limit to 70 mph. It may take until mid-January before speed limit signs are updated.

However, be aware – a provision in the law allows Cook County and the collar counties to opt out of the higher speed limit.

Also taking effect at the turn of the year: Illinois’ new medical marijuana law, which legally allows authorized patients to use medical marijuana. Once the new law becomes effective Jan. 1, state departments will have 120 days to write the rules necessary for developing a registry of patients allowed to use marijuana and govern medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensaries.

These are just some of the more than 200 new laws that took effect Jan. 1. For information on all new laws, visit the Senate Republican website at www.senategop.state.il.us.

Best wishes to you and yours for a happy and healthy new year.

State Sen. Christine Radogno, R-Lemont, is a state senator for Illinois’ 41st Senate District and the Senate Republican Leader.

Quinn Morris of Bolingbrook enjoys a day of sledding Jan. 4 at the hill behind Bolingbrook Village Hall.

A pat on the back for all the local efforts to dig the Bolingbrook community out of the snow and deal with the frigid cold that gripped the area during a three-day span last week. By many accounts, it was a job well done on the part of Bolingbrook Public Works, police and fire and many others. Keep it up!

Tony Smith resigned as head coach of Bolingbrook’s girls basketball team last May, took the reigns at Homewood-Flossmoor and brought the Vikings to Bolingbrook on Tuesday night. The vocal hometown fans donned black to welcome Smith and the Vikings with a blackout. Good job by Raiders fans showing their pride in their team and the team’s effort against its conference rival.

DOWNERS GROVE POLICE PARTICIPATING IN THE 2014 ILLINOIS TRAFFIC CHALLENGE Traffic safety is one of the highest priorities for the Downers Grove Police Department. Department personnel work year-round to educate our citizens, beginning with preschool students, on the importance of being safe in a vehicle, on a bike, and as a pedestrian. Aggressive and consistent traffic enforcement coupled with educational efforts has the greatest chance of reducing the incident of traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

The Illinois Traffic Safety Challenge was created to recognize law enforcement agencies for their efforts in addressing traffic safety issues. This program is modeled after the National Chiefs Challenge awards developed by the International Association of Chief’s of Police to target problematic traffic issues including speeding, impaired driving, and use of seat belts and child safety seats. The Downers Grove Police Department will be participating in the 2014 Traffic Challenge by focusing on enhancing their educational and enforcement campaigns related to speeding, impaired driving, and seatbelts.

Please do your part. Buckle-up on every trip, every time; make sure your children under the age of eight are restrained in a properly fitting child safety seat. Obey the speed limit – especially in school zones or construction zones, and do not drink and drive. It is the police department’s goal to have a safe new year. Please make it your goal as well.

POTHOLE REPAIR The Village is inspecting roads and filling potholes using a hot asphalt mix. Crews will first focus on primary roads, according to the Snow Route map, then move on to secondary roads. This activity has begun and is expected to take the entire week as crews work to inspect and make repairs along all routes. Many of the calls received so far have been for potholes along roads that the Village does not maintain like Ogden Avenue or Butterfield Road. The Village has notified the appropriate agencies about these reports. Visit www.downers.us for more information.

A great big thank you

I want to say super-duper thank you to the Downers Grove Police Department who checked on me – I’m a senior citizen – during this horrible, horrible business of Jan. 6. I almost froze to death in here because the power went off and it was out for 14 hours. The police checked on me twice. I was stunned. I am so grateful.

I want a great big thank you to go out to the Downers Grove Police Department for being so caring and concerning.

To the person who responded to the teenager who wanted a break: You wrote, “Do you think life will give you a break?” and “By not getting a break now, you will be prepared for life when it doesn’t give you a break.” Wow! You sound incredibly bitter. I’d like to know how you spent your free time as a child! When I was a kid (a long, long time ago), I had free time during school breaks just like everyone else. The only time in our lives that we get free time is when we’re in school (or retired) and what’s wrong with that? I don’t know what motivated the parents of the teenager who complained.

Maybe they have a reason for what they’re doing, but what you wrote is kind of severe.

I read with great interest of the plan to proceed with the construction of an indoor 25-station shooting range as part of the College [of DuPage]’s Homeland Security Education Center. By my calculation, this facility has the potential to offer 1,000 man hours of practice time (25 x 40) every week. I assume this would have to make this facility the newest and largest indoor shooting range in DuPage County.

I also read how this facility could potentially be used by “nearby police departments” for mandatory shooting practice generally held twice monthly.

Again, using my calculations, it appears that there could be a considerable surplus of range time going unused.

Therefore, I must ask: Why is there no mention of making this surplus range time available to the residents of DuPage County?

The facility is being financed by a construction bond paid for by taxpayers. Firearm owners in DuPage County routinely pay as much as $20 an hour for range time at for-profit ranges. Why has there been no talk of turning this project into a “win-win” for both the college and the taxpayers of DuPage County?

I would urge [Associate Dean and Director of the Homeland Security Training Institute Thomas Brady] and the Board of Trustees to investigate the potential for making this a true “multi-use” facility that would serve both the needs of the college and the interest, and unserved demand for, affordable range time by the taxpayers in this community.

Roskam cries wolf

My congressman Peter Roskam’s Community Voice “Real chance for fraud in health care law” (Suburban Life, Jan. 2), reminds me of “the boy who cried wolf,” sending out false alarms as a prank, or possibly even “Chicken Little,” mistakenly chirping that the sky is falling.

Having voted and failed 43

times to prevent the Affordable Care Act (A.C.A.) from being passed and funded, Roskam, as a House Tea Party leader, has adopted their last remaining talking point – possible fraud – while ignoring the A.C.A’s enormous benefits to the 40 million uninsured: folks doomed to bankruptcy, diminished health, even death from the health care system Roskam adores with every political fiber of his being.

His title gives it away when he uses the term “real chance,” which is pure conjecture, since no systematic compromise of private health information has occurred and none will. Those promoting the A.C.A. are working successfully to correct any deficiencies, without resorting to scare stories to destroy it, because their agenda is to expand delivering the wonderful improvements already achieved.

Roskam relishes the media opportunity to present an utterly false and hurtful portrayal to destroy the first real lifeline those 40 million uninsured folks have secured in their lifetime.

His real agenda is to undermine support for the Obama administration which is making progress in health care, the economy and ending senseless wars in spite of Roskam’s efforts of sabotage.

Go to his website www. roskam.house.gov, search NSA spying scandal and find nothing.

So much for Roskam’s feigned concern for our privacy.

If Congressman Roskam thinks the A.C.A. is going to go away, he should consider this: • 2 million folks visited www. healthcare.gov on Dec. 23 alone.

• 8 million folks have obtained health care coverage under federal and state A.C.A. provisions.

• 3.9 million folks became eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program in October and November from A.C.A. Medicaid provisions.

While Roskam is warning about phantom wolfs and scurrying away from falling sky, the many millions being helped are saying simply “Thank you, Mr. President.”

Attention: Fellow Dog Lover

Did You Book Your FREE New Year’s Grooming Yet? Happy New Year From Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming!

It’s been a year now that I have been running our ad for a Free Grooming and we have had 100’s and 100’s of satisfied returning customers.

Recently I was checking in with one of our new regulars, and she told me something that was really surprising. She told me she didn’t believe the Free Grooming was for real at first or there was some kind of catch somewhere. (Are you thinking that?)

And luckily they finally gave us a call because a friend of theirs told them the free groom was for real. They had just tried us out months earlier and they were very happy with our service.

I get it…. in a world of bait and switch and under-delivering and over promising I can understand their caution and disbelief.

Sometimes it takes a friend to give you the all clear it’s safe to give it a try.

With that said we have put in place a couple of conditions….

We have found that people who live close to us come back to us (I know its rocket science). What I mean is if you’re looking for a free ride please go elsewhere…don’t call us from Joliet (we actually had someone from Florida request a free groom as well)…we want to become your trusted and regular groomer so you can have a great looking dog all the time.

Also if your dog is really old and only gets groomed twice a year please use you regular groomer…. it is very stressful for an older dog to be groomed by a new person. We

recommend for your dog’s health and well-being keep using your regular groomer.

SOOOO…If you have a dog that needs to be styled and groomed I invite you to give us a call to receive your free grooming.

CALL 630-969-3145 we only have a few spots available a week.

If you don’t have a dog you can tell a friend about this Free Groom too.

I certainly would be very thankful if you passed on our name.

Our number again is: 630-969-3145 I will let you go now…I wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

Maybe I’ll see you some time.

Restaurant reviews

Antonino’s serves Italian hometown favorites LA GRANGE – My family and I have been dining at Antonino’s Ristorante in La Grange for as long as I can remember. In fact, there’s a good chance my first bite of restaurant Italian food – likely spaghetti – was consumed there.

Antonino’s is a destination in La Grange, especially for commuters in the vicinity of La Grange’s Stone Avenue train station. Riders on the way home from work often can be seen making the detour into Antonino’s to pick up a pizza for the family.

One of the best things about this restaurant is how little it has changed in the past 25 years. Its traditional Italian restaurant interior and the way the windows fog in the cold is something that always draws me back. Even the menu is largely the same – a special plus for my dining companion. Taking the family dinner to heart, I invited my brother to accompany me.

Now, my brother is the kind of person who always orders the same thing. When he’s in the mood for Chinese, it’s General Tso’s chicken from Moy Goy Inn just down the street. When it’s a burger, a trip to Palmer Place is required. Breakfast? Well, that’s always at Cafe Calbay for a skillet made with corned beef hash, poached eggs and American cheese.

But for Italian? There’s only one place: Antonino’s for spaghetti and meatballs.

Besides Antonino’s pizza, I think it likely he’s never tried anything else on the menu. I set out to change that on our visit, but traditions die hard.

To whet our appetite, we ordered two appetizers neither of us had tried in the past: fried calamari and bruschetta. The calamari was incredibly crispy, and the bruschetta was just the right amount of toasty goodness piled high with garlic, tomatoes and basil. Fantastic.

For our entrees, I ordered the lasagna. Although I’ve

Even though we were full and had leftovers to bring home, no trip to Antonino’s would be complete without an order of tiramisu for dessert.

TheraCORE

brings personal attention back to physical therapy Five years ago, two physical therapists opened TheraCORE, Therapeutic Center for Rehabilitation and Exercise, dedicated to building a treatment model based in comprehensive patient care and attention to the individual.

Amy Goebbert and Jen Bazan had spent more than a decade in the field, and five years working for a large therapy chain, when they opened TheraCORE in Lockport.

“It was just too corporate, says Goebbert of the large franchise environment. “We felt unable to maintain a level of patient care we felt good about.”

Now in charge of their own private practice, the Bazan and Goebbert at their TheraCORE clinics in Lockport and Westmont offer a business model based on time, quality of care, with evidence based practice and good communication.

“Everybody is on the same page during the treatment process,” she explains. “From this, we see excellent results. Patients are referred to us and we see them succeed where others have failed.”

To see a physical therapist at TheraCORE, patients need a prescription from their physician for medical coverage. Complimentary injury screenings are offered to assess treatment.

“We can do a 20 minute screening, explain what we think is going on and refer you to a stretch, an exercise, or a physician,” Goebbert says.

With a focus on whole body wellness, the professionals at TheraCORE are dedicated to not only treating, but also educating their patients about their health, through one-on-one consultations, step-by-step exercise programs, and ongoing wellness events for the community.

Find out more at an upcoming event: Family Fitness Challenge A large number of TheraCORE’s patients come directly 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.

Sunday, February 9 from doctors.

“They know us well and appreciate the care we offer,” she says. “But most of our patients come referred by others. The word of mouth has been a great barometer of how our patients feel about their treatment at TheraCORE.” Five licensed physical therapists treat a variety of afflictions, from orthopedic injuries, to balance deficits, and even headaches. Specialty areas include: • Orthotic fabrication • Running, triathlete population • Hand therapy • Back treatment • Vestibular therapy • Massage therapy • Graston Technique® “We do a lot of manual therapy, hands on with the patients,” she says. “Things like joint mobilizations, massage. Everything we do is based on the latest evidence and it’s growing all the time. While patients are performing their exercises, we’re right there working on their form.”

Multiple fitness and wellness stations including: nutrition, stretching, core and strength training, video fitness games, laser tag by Laser Quest, dance workouts, beach body workouts and much more. Each station will be staffed with a licensed physical therapist educated on wellness and exercise. Giveaways and prizes available Space is limited to the first 50 registrants Call 630-908-7430 to register.

TheraCORE has two convenient locations to serve you: 16622 West 159th Street, Suite 503 Lockport, IL 815-838-5070 350 East Ogden Avenue, Suite 200 Westmont, IL 630-908-7430 www.theracorept.com

Exercise benefits the brain, too

R

egular exercise can benefit the body in many ways, helping men and women maintain healthier weights and lower their risks for developing potentially deadly diseases.

Though many people are quick to associate exercise with its physical benefits, those hours spent on the treadmill also can boost brain power.

According to Dr. Barry Gordon, professor of neurology and cognitive science at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and coauthor of “Intelligent Memory: Improve the Memory That Makes You Smarter,” exercise has a direct impact on the brain. That’s because exercise works directly on brain tissue, improving the connections between nerve cells, creating new synapses, growing new neurons and blood vessels, and improving cell energy efficiency. So while many people may begin an exercise regimen with a goal of trimming their waistlines or toning their bodies, they might be happy to know that those physical benefits are accompanied by several cognitive benefits as well.

As the American Psychological Association acknowledges, the connection between exercise and mental health is hard to ignore, and the APA notes that the following are just a few of the mental benefits men and women might reap from regular exercise.

Improved mood Many people feel great after exercising, especially if that exercise comes at the end of a particularly stressful day. However, those extra laps on the track or those hours spent on the treadmill don’t just pay shortterm dividends. In a controlled trial overseen by Duke University researcher and clinical psychologist James Blumenthal, sedentary adults with major depressive disorder were assigned into one of four groups: supervised exercise, home-based exercise, antidepressant therapy, or a placebo pill. Those in the exercise and antidepressant groups had higher rates of remission than those in the placebo group, and Blumenthal concluded that exercise was generally comparable to antidepressants for men and women with major depressive disorder. In addition, in following up with patients a year later, Blumenthal found that those who continued to exercise had lower depression scores than those participants who were less active.

Blumenthal’s study was not the only one to conclude that exercise can have a positive impact on mood.

In a review of 11 studies that examined the effects of exercise on mental health, Boston University professor of psychology Michael Otto and his colleagues found that exercise could be a

powerful tool when treating clinical depression, and even recommended clinicians include exercise as part of their treatment plans for depressed patients.

Antidote to anxiety Some researchers, Otto included, have begun to examine the effects of exercise on treating and possibly preventing anxiety. The body’s nervous system responds quickly when people feel frightened or threatened, often causing the body’s heart rate to increase and sweating and dizziness to occur. Those people who are especially sensitive to anxiety respond to these feelings with fear, and that makes them more likely to develop panic disorders. But Otto and fellow researcher Jasper Smits of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Program at Southern Methodist University studied the effects that regular workouts might have on people prone to anxiety. Since exercise produces many of the same physical reactions, such as sweating and an elevated heart rate, the body produces when responding to fear or threats, Otto and Smits wanted to determine if exercise might help people prone to anxiety become less likely to panic when experiencing fear or threats. In studying 60 participants with heightened sensitivity to anxiety, Otto and Smits found that the subjects who participated in a two-week exercise program exhibited marked improvements in anxiety sensitivity compared to those participants who did not take part in the exercise program. Otto and Smith concluded that this improvement was a result of the exercise group participants learning to associate the symptoms common to both fear and exercise, such as sweating and an elevated heart rate, with something positive (exercise) instead of something negative (anxiety).

Regular exercise benefits the human body in numerous ways, not the least of which is its impact on the brain. More information on the link between exercise and improved mental health is available at www.apa.org.

These snacks pack an energetic punch

M

any adults find themselves feeling drowsy in the hours after they eat lunch. A heavy lunch, a staid office atmosphere or a combination of the two can make professionals feel sleepy as the workday winds down. Though some might opt for a second cup of coffee, the immediate energy boost provided by caffeine quickly wears off, leaving men and women feeling even more tired as a result. Oftentimes, the right mid-afternoon snack can provide the energy boosts adults need to stay productive throughout the workday. The following are a handful of healthy snacks that tend to provide a lot of energy. * Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt has become increasingly popular in recent years, as more and more people are opting for this snack that’s rich in calcium, protein, phosphorous, and zinc. Traditional yogurt tends to provide a quick energy boost, as it is generally easy to digest, before that boost quickly fades. Greek yogurt is thicker than traditional yogurt, so it does not digest so easily, producing more sustained energy levels as a result.

However, Greek yogurt is also loaded with protein, helping men and women feel fuller longer. That can be beneficial for those who want to lose weight, as the feeling of fullness that Greek yogurt provides means those who eat it are less likely to eat more snacks throughout the day. * Whole grains: Whole grain snacks are loaded with energizing ingredients, including fiber, iron, magnesium, and protein. Whole wheat snacks are also loaded with B vitamins, which help people fight fatigue and stabilize blood sugar levels. In addition, the body takes longer to absorb the complex carbohydrates found in whole wheat snacks, which means the body can maintain stable blood sugar levels for extended periods of time, and that leads to a long-lasting energy boost. White bread and simple carbohydrates provide an immediate, yet temporary, energy boost when people’s blood sugar levels spike.

But once that initial energy boost subsides, men and women will be left feeling fatigued. * Edamame: Many people may know edamame from recipes, but

few might know edamame can be an energy-boosting snack as well.

Edamame are boiled soybeans that are rich in protein, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber. Each of these things helps the body sustain energy levels. In addition, edamame is also packed with a trace mineral known as molybdenum that helps cells function properly while enhancing alertness and improving concentration. * Almonds: Almonds are loaded with ingredients that increase energy levels, including vitamin E, phosphorous, vitamin B2, and magnesium, which serves numerous beneficial functions, including aiding in the production of energy and relieving stress and anxiety.

Because they are rich in protein and fiber, almonds take longer for the body to digest, which means energy levels will stay up for longer periods of time than they would for those snacks that are easily digested. Almonds also contain healthy fats that curb appetite, making it less likely that men and women who snack on almonds will overeat and find themselves fighting the fatigue that’s often a byproduct of overeating.

Tips for yoga beginners

T

hough it might once have been considered a trend, yoga has long since moved on from trendy territory to become a more widely accepted discipline that is practiced by millions for its positive impact on mental and physical health. Though yoga is an ancient practice, only recently has it become so popular in the western hemisphere, where Sports Marketing Surveys found that roughly 20 million Americans over the age of 18 practiced yoga in 2012. That's a considerable increase from just four years earlier, when just under 16 million Americans admitted to practicing yoga.

The growing popularity of yoga likely comes as no surprise to its many practitioners, who often credit yoga with relieving stress and improving overall fitness. In addition, yoga can also help alleviate chronic pain and, according to the Mayo Clinic, reduce risk factors for chronic conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure.

While yoga is beneficial in many ways, it's important that men and women not mistake yoga for medical treatment.

Though yoga may be part of an individual's treatment plan, it's still necessary that men and women with medical conditions rely on their health care providers for treatment. For example, doctors may recommend yoga to individuals dealing with elevated stress levels, but doctors also may want their patients to take certain medications in order to lower those stress levels. Yoga on its own may be effective, but men and women should still seek professional medical treatment when dealing with health problems.

It's also important that men and women beginning a yoga regimen not take it lightly. Though the atmosphere in a typical yoga studio tends to be serene, yoga is a physically demanding discipline, and those unprepared to deal with such demands often find themselves suffering from injuries. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, injuries to the neck, shoulders, spine, legs, and knees are possible when practitioners of yoga do not exercise proper technique and caution. So it pays for beginners to heed the following warnings when beginning a yoga regimen. * Work with a professional. No matter how long your neighbor insists he or she has practiced yoga, it's still best that you learn the discipline from a

certified instructor. Your neighbor might know all of the poses, but an instructor with credentials can help men and women with preexisting medical conditions avoid poses that can exacerbate such conditions. Novices might not know that certain poses can increase injury risk for sufferers of osteoporosis, spinal problems and high or low blood pressure. When trying yoga for the first time, always work with a professional, making sure to discuss any preexisting medical conditions before your initial session. * Take things slowly. Its reputation as a calming discipline often gives beginners the mistaken impression that yoga is an easy discipline to grasp. However, it's best for beginners to take things slowly before attempting to perform difficult stretches and poses. Yoga is not a competition, so give yourself adequate time to learn proper breathing techniques and figure out ways to maintain your balance. Once you have mastered such techniques, you can then begin to try your hand at more advanced poses. * Warm up before each session.

Men and women should warm up before beginning any exercise regimen, and yoga is no exception. Stiff, cold muscles can lead to serious injury whether you're playing basketball or stretching into a yoga pose. Warm up your muscles with a few minutes of light cardiovascular exercise before beginning a yoga session to reduce your risk of muscle tears or pain when you start stretching or posing. * Dress appropriately. Flexibility is essential when practicing yoga, so make sure your clothing is not restrictive. Women can buy pants made specifically for yoga that stretch easily, making it easier to perform various poses and stretches.

Men may also be able to find pants made specifically for yoga, but if not, athletic shorts or track pants can work just as well. * Stop if you feel any physical problems. It is not uncommon, especially for beginners, to experience feelings of dizziness or feel as if your body is becoming overheated during yoga. In such instances, stop immediately, as yoga is supposed to be a pain-free discipline. Ask the instructor for help the moment you start to feel faint, dizzy, overheated, or injured. Physical problems during yoga may be a byproduct of dehydration, so be sure to begin your session fully hydrated and remain so throughout your workout.

Bolingbrook’s Alecia Gulledge looks to set up a play during the Raiders’ game against Stagg on Jan. 8. The Raiders topped the Chargers and beat Lincoln-Way East the next night.

Big wins precede big week for Bolingbrook girls

By JASON ROSSI

jrossi@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – In terms of building momentum before a tough stretch, Bolingbrook’s girls basketball team couldn’t have done any better.

Scheduled to face Homewood-Flossmoor and former head coach Tony Smith yesterday before playing Lockport tomorrow and Class 3A heavyweight Montini on Monday, the Raiders earned SouthWest Suburban Blue conference wins over Stagg and Lincoln-Way

East in the last week.

“Lincoln-Way was a good win for us,” head coach Chris Smith said of the Raiders’ 62-60 victory. “It gave us some confidence going into these games [this week]. We know if we play our best basketball, we’re capable of playing with anybody in the state.”

Against the Griffins, Aysia Bugg led the Raiders as she scored 25 points, none bigger than the pair she scored at the buzzer to lift Bolingbrook to victory. The win upped the Raiders’ record to 10-2 overall

and 4-0 in the SWSB and provided a first this season. Smith said it was the first game all year in which all 14 players on the roster did not take the floor.

The win over East on Thursday came a day after a more comfortable 59-49 home win over SWSB foe Stagg. So far this season, the Raiders’ only losses have come to Class 3A powerhouse Joliet Catholic and an out-of-state team at the Turkey Jamm shootout in Tennessee during Thanksgiving weekend.

The games against H-F, Lockport and Montini are tough

tests but ones Smith thinks his squad can pass.

“We’re still searching for chemistry a little bit, but the girls are starting to buy into the system and buying into each other as a team,” Smith said.

Bolingbrook hosts Lockport at 7 p.m. Thursday before facing Montini at 4:30 p.m. Monday as part of the McDonald’s Shootout at Willowbrook High School.

day, Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team went on a 20-3 run in the second quarter on the way to a 54-38 win.

Prentiss Nixon scored 11 points in the second quarter and 15 in the first half as he topped all scorers with 19 points. He also added nine rebounds, five steals and four assists.

Gage Davis added 13 points and four blocks as the Raiders improved to 10-2 overall and 4-0 in the SWSB. The Raiders travel to HomeBolingbrook boys Trailing 11-10 against visit- wood-Flossmoor for a 7 p.m. ing Lincoln-Way East on Fri- game Friday.

Sierra Birdsell

School: Lisle Class: Senior Position: Forward Impact: Birdsell was a role

player for the Lions last season but has had a tremendous impact this season. The 5-foot-8 forward provides some size in the paint, but the captain can also stretch the floor with a solid mid-range game.

“She had a pretty good season last year, but she is the glue to the team,” Lisle coach Nick Balaban said. “She’s our leading scorer and she’s got great toughness defensively and rebounding. Without her, we are not nearly the team we are.”

Ryaen Johnson

team success in basketball, and the 6-foot-2 Johnson provides height in the paint for the Raiders. She is averaging a double-double, according to head coach Chris Smith.

“She gives us a post presence and is a complete difference-maker for us,” Smith said of the transfer from Waubonsie Valley. “It’s very important for us to have her because she is such a big presence for us.”

Sarah Mogensen

School: Lisle Class: Junior Position: Forward Impact: Mogensen saw varsity

minutes last season, but she is playing a much larger role this season for first-year head coach Nick Balaban. She provides an inside presence for the Lions and has emerged as the No. 2 scorer on the team.

“She has a knack for scoring inside,” Balaban said. “She has good moves and good footwork around the basket, and she is a solid rebounder for us.”

freshman can transition to high school varsity ball, but that is precisely what Rugienius has done this season.

Having gained experience as an AAU player prior to joining the Mustangs, Rugienius has already carved out a role as a key reserve thanks to her ability to handle the ball and shoot from range.

“She has been with us all season as a role player, and I’ve seen her improve on her shot and be more confident on that,” South head coach Lyndsie Long said. “I keep telling her every day, ‘I need your shot, I need your shot,’ I see it out there every day.”

Cierra Stanciel

School: Bolingbrook Class: Junior Position: Guard Impact: A point guard has

perhaps the most important role on a basketball team, responsible for running the offense and getting teammates involved.

It’s a tough position to master, but Stanciel, a transfer from Naperville Central, has stepped up as a solid leader and distributor for the Raiders this season.

Each basketball season provides an opportunity for new players to step into the spotlight. From juniors and seniors seeing significant playing time for the first time to underclassmen making an impact, these girls basketball players are having breakout seasons.

Kasandra Rugienius

Addyson Wesolowski

School: Downers Grove South Class: Freshman Position: Guard Impact: Wesolowski was

already playing up a level when the season started as a freshman on the sophomore team, and due in part to injuries and her solid play, she recently moved up to join the varsity squad. Her age is no hindrance – head coach Lyndsie Long is already confident putting the ball in Wesolowski’s hands during crucial parts of the game.

“Addyson took the point guard role [against Willowbrook] and went with it, she wasn’t scared,” Long said.

“That’s what I’m looking for — someone to handle the ball and be the voice of the team, and that’s what she’s been doing.”

Salary cap could haunt the Bears Hub Arkush As the Bears Vice President of Football Administration, General Counsel and lead contract negotiator Cliff Stein is one of the best “capologists” in the NFL. Nobody understands the salary cap or knows how to work with it better than Stein, and there are no better negotiators in the NFL either.

I can’t remember the last time the team targeted a free agent, convinced him to come to Chicago and Stein couldn’t fit him under the cap.

Still, the Bears will begin the 2014 NFL league year in a bit of salary cap hell and there’s very little Phil Emery and Stein can do about it without some painful cuts to the current roster.

The 2013 Salary cap was approxi-

mately $123 million and early projections are that it could go as high as $127 million in 2014. But of the current Bears under contract, nine Bears veterans, Jay Cutler, Julius Peppers, Brandon Marshall, Matt Forte, Lance Briggs, Jermon Bushrod, Martellus Bennett, Tim Jennings and Robbie Gould are occupying approximately $85 million of cap space according to spotrac.com.

If the $127 million figure proves accurate that will leave Stein just $42 million to spread among 44 players and that will be an impossible task if the Bears hope to add any proven talents via free agency.

Shea McClellin, Alshon Jeffery, Matt Slauson, Kyle Long, Jordan Mills, Stephen Paea, Jonathan Bostic and Khaseem Greene are all almost certain to be back. Slauson just resigned and the rest are all in their rookie contracts and none of them have been around long enough to have those deals renegotiated to be more salary cap friendly.

Masterbrand Cabinetry

There goes another $11.5 million in cap space, leaving $30.5 million and the club is still looking for starters at center, defensive end, defensive tackle, possibly one or two linebacker spots, at least one cornerback, safety, nickel back, punter and 28 reserves.

It’s a serious mess and none of it is Stein’s fault. It is the price of failing badly in the NFL College Draft during the past four to five seasons. Forget going back further than that as any players drafted prior to the last four or five years would be in their second contracts and have higher cap values.

The only significant starters with star potential on the Bears roster right now who were drafted in the last five years are Jeffery and Long. Every other significant contributor is in his second NFL contract and helping to stretch the Salary Cap. The Bears have almost no young talent saving them cap space.

The Bears do have the option of pushing a significant potion of Cutlers cap hit

into out years of his deal and almost certainly will have to, potentially creating as much as $10 million of extra room.

But what if Cutler doesn’t work out or gets hurt? Then your cap is strangled even worse in a few years if you have to replace him and carry dead cap money.

The Bears will also have to cut or restructure the deals of Peppers and Michael Bush, which will save about $12 million of cap space if they cut them, but they will then have to add another starting defensive end who will need to be a premier pass rusher and a dependable number two running back.

Emery and Marc Trestman have said their goal is to make the Bears younger on defense. Some part of that goal is borne out of need to deal with their cap issues.

But the reality is getting younger and getting better, with limited financial resources to make up for any missed draft picks is a truly difficult situation to be in.

tackles and an inability to pressure the quarterback, among other struggles.

Tucker should be able to help with the new hires to coach the linebackers and D-line, as he gets a chance to put more of a mark on this defense.

“We believe Mel is the right person to lead our defensive unit,” Trestman said. “He fully understands where we need to improve, has the skill set and leadership to oversee the changes that need to be made and to execute our plan to get the results we know are necessary.”

Trestman and Phil Emery were firm in their stance that, when healthy in the first three games, the defense played at a high level. That showed the faith they have in Tucker as a coordinator,

and he could be working with completely different personnel next season.

Tim Jennings, Stephen Paea and Briggs are the only regulars that should be back at their positions in 2014.

Major Wright, Corey Wootton, Melton, James Anderson, Williams, Charles Tillman, Jeremiah Ratliff and Collins are all free agents.

The futures of Chris Conte and Peppers are in question, and McClellin and Bostic could be at different positions.

With Tucker getting another year to prove himself, expect to see a more aggressive defense.

“We want a physical, fast, playmaking defense, a defense that causes disruption,” Emery said.

One game that sticks out as a potential blueprint of the

Bears’ 2014 defensive style is the win in Pittsburgh in Week Three.

According to Pro Football Focus, Ben Roethlisberger was under pressure on 20 plays, six more than any other Bears opposing quarterback.

They blitzed Big Ben 19 times, tied for the most all season.

After halftime, Roethlisberger started finding success under pressure, but the aggressive defense was too much. The Bears forced five turnovers in that 40-23 win.

As bad as the defense was, the Bears were a play away from winning the NFC North, which made the meltdown on that side of the ball all the more frustrating. Tucker gets another chance, and even though the coordinator is the same, expect the Bears’ defense to look much different next season.

The worst defense in Bears history cost two assistant coaches their jobs, but the leader of the unit will be back in 2014.

Linebackers coach Tim Tibesar and defensive line coach Mike Phair were fired but defensive coordinator Mel Tucker will return.

“We thank Mike and Tim for their effort and dedication.

They are men of high character and integrity,” Bears head coach Marc Trestman said in a statement Sunday. “These are not easy decisions and we do not attribute our lack of success on defense to two individuals.”

Both Tibesar and Phair’s units were marred by injuries. Thrust into the lineup,

rookies Jon Bostic and Khaseem Greene did not show the improvement the team wanted to see, especially down the stretch. The Bears were last in the league in run defense.

“I saw Khaseem do it right and Jon do it right, and I saw them both do it wrong,” Trestman said in his Jan. 2 news conference. “I did not see a consistency in their play.”

On the D-line, Henry Melton and Nate Collins both tore their ACL, while Julius Peppers and Shea McClellin did not produce up to expectations off the edges.

Someone was going to take the fall for a defense that allowed 6,313 net yards in 2013, and it went to the position coaches of the front seven, which made the same mistakes week after week: problems fitting the run, missed

r. Martin Luther King Jr. was a preacher, a father, a scholar and one of the strongest voices of peace and freedom in American history.

King was the youngest man to win the Nobel Peace Prize, at the age of 35. He was an activist and leader in the civil rights movement who pushed for equal rights and acceptance for all people, no matter their race or background.

King is known for his leadership and effectiveness using nonviolent measures, meaning that instead of going to war with his enemies, or using violence to further his cause, he sought to change the world through peace.

As he said in his Nobel acceptance speech: “But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem; it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.”King continually preached a message of peace and love over hatred and violence.
