D-99 could lose $3 million in state funding By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A state senate bill that would overhaul the way the state funds education by distributing money to school districts based on financial need would cost Downers Grove School District 99 more than $3 million annually, according to the district. If Senate Bill 16 is passed by the Illinois House of Representatives later this fall, the district would lose about 77 percent of its state funding, according to District 99, representing about $596 per student. The bill was passed by the Illinois Senate on May 27. “If SB16 passes as it is written, it would have a significant impact on our ability to continue providing quality programs and services to students,” District 99 Superintendent Mark McDonald said in a statement. “I am deeply concerned about this issue, and hope that everyone in our community will take the time to learn more about what’s at stake and contact their legislators.” Similarly, Elementary School District 58 would lose 73 percent of its state funding
“I am vehemently opposed to this bill. … I think with maybe one exception, it hurts every suburban school throughout DuPage County. Ron Sandack House Representative, R-Downers Grove
or more than $2 million per year, according to the district. In July 2013, a committee of state legislators was entrusted with recommending ways to improve public education funding in Illinois. The result of the task force was the creation of Senate Bill 16. Proponents of the bill, including its sponsor state Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, say it will reform Illinois’ current funding system, named by Manar as the second-lest equitable the nation. The current funding formula distributes 44 cents for every $1 invested in education on the basis of district need, according to Manar’s website. The other 56 cents is distributed to schools through grants, not based on need. Under the new funding system, 92 cents of every $1 invested by the state in the Kindergarten
through 12th grade education system – with the exception of funds for early childhood education, construction projects and high-cost special education – would be distributed by financial need. If approved, school districts with higher assessed property values like District 99, its elementary districts and others in DuPage County will generally receive less state funding. Other districts will receive much more in state funding. Under SB16, all but one school district in DuPage County will lose state funding, a total of $140 million, according to a news release from District 99. Of the 42 school districts in DuPage County, District 99 is sixth on the list in terms of those that will experience the largest percentage reduction in state funding.
SB16 does not increase the level of education funding, but changes the way in which state funding is distributed among school districts. SB16 is modeled after an effort in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts general assembly provided $1 billion in new money, according to District 99. There is no new money in SB16. “We believe the solution is not to take from some to give to others, but rather for the state of Illinois to fully fund education, rather than ranking 50th in the nation in education funding,” McDonald said in his statement. “We hope people will take the time to contact their State Representative and ask them to vote ‘no’ to SB16.” House Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, described the bill as redistribution and not reform. “I am vehemently opposed to this bill,” Sandack said. “It unquestionably hurts all the public school districts in House District 81. Moreover, I think with maybe one exception, it hurts every suburban school throughout DuPage County. “We are being seen as a source of funding for other parts of the state.”

Katherine Hardina of Downers Grove enjoys a visit from Cubs pitcher Neil Ramirez on Sept. 17 at Good Samaritan Hospital. Neil payed a visit to the Cancer center and the oncology floor.
DOWNERS GROVE – Chicago Cubs pitcher Neil Ramirez surprised cancer patients at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital on Sept. 17 with autographs, hats, shirts and well-wishes. The 25-year-old reliever first visited outpatients and medical staff in the hospital’s Cancer Care Center, followed by a visit to the inpatient oncology unit. “ T h e y w e r e v e r y s u rprised,” hospital spokeswoman Lisa Parro said. “It really made a difference for a lot of our patients. He just had a lot of really nice things to say to them. He was telling them he would pray for them and wish them well for their recovery – a real class act.” Advocate Health Care is the official health care sponsor of the Chicago Cubs, and Parro said players make occasional visits to hospitals throughout the Advocate system. She said this was the first time a player had visited Good Samaritan as part of that sponsor relationship. Ramirez has had an outstanding 2014 campaign for the Cubs, pitching 40 innings in relief and compiling a 1.35 ERA despite missing time earlier this season with a sore right triceps muscle.

Indian Chinese cuisine goes back over 100 years when people of Chinese origin moved to India across the North East Border and settled in Calcutta. Most of these immigrants were of Hakka ancestry. Over the years they adapted the Chinese cuisine for the locale Indian seasoning and cooking techniques. This is how Indian Chinese fusion began.

emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Good financial surprises from the state of Illinois don’t happen very often, but that was exactly the case this summer in Downers Grove. The village received $200,000 more in motor fuel tax revenue from the state than expected, which will pay for the majority of one of the village’s two salt contracts for this winter. Village staff presented the information Sept. 16 during the first reading portion of the Village Council meeting. The extra $200,000 adds to the $1.3 million in motor fuel taxes already paid to the village from the state this year, according to village staff. The extra funds will help pay for the village’s contract with Cargill, facilitated through the state, for up to 6,048 tons of road salt at $58.12 per ton, a total of $351,509.

That, along with a contract through the county with Morton Salt for 2,000 tons at $70.44, will provide enough salt to fill the entire new salt dome. The new, larger salt dome, filled to capacity, will help Downers Grove avoid the problems it and other communities faced during last year’s harsh winter, when salt shortages made it difficult or impossible to reload mid-season. “The village has positioned ourselves to be more independent and ready for the winter season,” Village Manager David Fieldman said. “We now have two salt suppliers at very competitive prices, in fact much less than the $100-plus prices that we’ve seen (other municipalities pay). “We have one large salt dome that should house all the salt we’ll need to get us through a typical, and even an extreme winter – [though we] can’t promise every winter.”

Treating Cancer: Integrative Oncology with Illinois Cancer Specialists SPONSORED BY
By Diane Krieger Spivak Cancer can be thought of as a weed in the body. It flourishes with the right environment. Modern physicians have tools such as chemotherapy to kill the weed The real trick to beating cancer and staying cancer free is to create a healthy body environment. Integrative Oncology uses medical treatments along with alternative treatments that have scientific evidence of effectiveness. It focuses not only on the weed, but also on the soil the weed grows in – the whole body, mind, and spirit. It empowers the patient to take an active role. We know that diet can make a difference. Obesity is known to increase the risk of certain cancers. A healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids can all have beneficial anti-inflammatory effects. Mind-body approaches, including physical therapy or exercise, yoga, meditation and massage can decrease stress. Distress may not directly lead to the development of cancer,
but it can depress the immune system and affect how one’s body can tolerate certain treatments. Various approaches can help alleviate treatment-related side effects. Ginger eases nausea, and an increased protein intake can combat fatigue and muscle loss. Acupuncture can help with cancer related pain, nausea, and hot flashes. Mind-body interventions combat mood disturbances and insomnia. These approaches, along with your oncologist’s prescribed medications can improve quality of life. Always ask a medical professional before starting any supplements or lifestyle modifications to avoid interaction with other cancer treatments. Integrative medicine reminds us that our bodies have an innate ability to fight disease. Integrative oncology is not just about complementary and alternative treatments or a healthy lifestyle. It is about effectively communicating with and treating the whole person; not just the cancer. For more information on Integrative Oncology, contact Dr. Lakhani at Illinois Cancer Specialists.

Chamber630 was thrilled to host its inaugural Awards Ceremony on Sept. 10 at the Tivoli Theatre. The marquee showcasing the celebration added to the excitement of the well deserved recognition of chamber members. With 40 nominations submitted, the qualifying categories were Business Excellence (one each for hospitality, serCOMMUNITY vice and professional), ComVOICE munity Contribution (nonLaura profit and philanthropic) and Individual Awards (a young Crawford professional and another for lifetime achievement). The winners were chosen by a judging panel of past winners. Brandi Beckley took the award for Young Professional, and Executive Chef Patrick accepted the award for Parkers’ Restaurant & Bar, which snagged Business Excellence in Hospitality. John Quinn, AT&T’s new director of external and government affairs, accepted the Community Contribution in Philanthropy award, citing the more than $28 million of charitable contributions from AT&T and their employees in the past five years. When the song, “DJ Has Us Falling In Love Again” played, it was a sure sign Mark and Pat Samel of Sound Check Entertainment were winners in the Business Excellence in the Service category. The Gingham Tree Resale Shop had many volunteers present and three employees who accepted the award for Community Contribution in the Not-for-Profit category. The Business Excellence in the professional category had three finalists. Wenzel Select Properties took the award with owner Lisa Wenzel thankful to give up the Susan Lucci claim. Marc Hausmann of Maclyn and Judge Timothy McJoynt provided the final recognition of the Lifetime Achievement award. Winners Ed and Barb Wysocki have quietly provided the model of servant leadership through their volunteerism in countless organizations, board service and commitment to community. “Ed Wysocki has been a chamber member for 31 years, and Barb was the second-ever chamber president and CEO, as well as the first female,” Marc Hausmann said. Judges were Greg Cutler, Americraft; Mike Busse, Community Bank of Downers Grove; Jan and Lois Kopis, Grove Foundation; Rob Patt, Simplemac Solutions; Joe Pavone, Bradford & Kent; and Mario Olivi, The Olive Tap Downers Grove. Presenters were Michael Busse, Greg Cutler and Kathleen Hausmann of Little Friends; Mike Krucek and Melna Langham of ScotPress; Dean Malone of Midwestern University; and Mario Olivi.

action to help out business
The village of Downers Grove is adamant that all businesses must comply with a new sign ordinance by May 2015 or else face possible fines. The mandatory compliance – which calls for smaller, lower signs that are further from the curb, among other requirements – kicked in this spring. As of Sept. 1, more than 90 percent of local businesses have obliged, many without protest. But what happens when said change siphons money from a business owner’s pocket, when the cost of losing a sign goes far beyond allocating funds to remove and replace a marquee? For Leibundguth Moving and Storage owner Bob Patterson, the loss could amount to as much as $60,000 annually. In the past, Patterson’s storefront at 1301 Warren Ave. has benefited from its proximity to the Metra line, which is both parallel to the back of his business and close enough to the store that Metra passengers can read the more than 80-year-old sign painted on the back of his building. The Leibundguth sign is a large source of customers for his business because of the thousands of Metra passengers who read it every day during their commute. But the new sign ordinance only allows business signs to face drivable right-of-ways, such as roads, and not train tracks, such as the Metra/BNSF line that runs behind his business. Clearly, not including train tracks into
the definition of a drivable right-of-way is an oversight on the part of the village. Looking beyond the physical tracks that occupies a railroad right of way, the Metra/BNSF line runs through several local downtowns, transports passengers from one stop to another and should receive a similar designation to a main road. Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully said as much during Patterson’s Sept. 2 appeal to the village council. “I continue to think that it makes sense that a drivable right-of-way and a railroad right-of-way receive the same treatment,” Tully said. Yet there was not enough support among commissioners to hold vote for or against a text amendment to the ordinance. It’s a shame the council is too headstrong to even hold a vote, and the message then relayed to residents and the business community is “we are not willing to work with you on this issue.” Several commissioners pointed out that no business should receive preferential treatment over another, and Patterson should not be exempt from the ordinance just because he asked. But the harsh reality is not all businesses are equal. Some have been around for nearly a century, steadily providing sales tax revenue to the village, bringing consumers to town and helping improve the Downers Grove business climate. Leibundguth Moving and Storage definitely fits the bill.

All breast augmentation procedures start with an initial evaluation by Dr. Hein of your general health, breast condition and skin tone. Together, you’ll make the selection that works best for you. When it comes to the augmentation procedure itself, it usually takes a few hours. Typically, most patients are up and around in a few days back to non-physical work in about a week..
Founded by Dr. Jennifer M. Hein, M.D., the all-female staff at the Women’s Institute of Cosmetic and Laser Surgery offers a full slate of surgical and non-surgical solutions. For breast augmentation, the best candidates are typically women in overall good health who are looking to enhance their appearance. To increase breast size, your surgeon is most likely going to use breast implants.

FDA-approved product by Allergan that provides a natural, anatomically correct shape that’s a true match to the patient’s body. Already in high demand in Europe, the gel implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can also be used to replace traditional implants.

greater than 4 inches all contributed to the service delays, according to a staff report. The village’s new plan for next winter includes using existing employees previously assigned to other tasks to help with snow plowing. The village also recently purchased a 5-ton truck that will be used for snow operations, in addition to the new salt dome. Staff also proposed changes to the 10 snow routes to improve efficiency, according to the report.
NEWS |
The Village Council will likely vote on the contract at the first October meeting. “The new salt dome … doesn’t look like much now, but it’s going to be great to have everything here, ready to go,” Village Commissioner Geoff Neustadt said. “Last year we had an extreme winter and we learned from it.
We’ve changed, we’ve modified.” The additional salt capacity is part of a wider-ranging set of changes and improvements to the village’s snow operations plan recommended by staff in response to last winter’s service delays. Last year, a shortage of snow plow drivers due to injuries, a shortage of functioning snow equipment, the regional salt shortage, the configuration of snow routes and the number of snowfalls

Dr. Lesley Dawravoo stands in her office on the Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital campus Aug. 29.
Medicine is a science, but the art of building relationships with patients can often be just as an important for a physician. That’s especially true for gastroenterologists and hepatologists such as Hinsdale resident Dr. Lesley Dawravoo. Physicians in her field diagnose and treat a variety of notoriously difficult to identify conditions, such as hepatitis C in the liver or Crohn’s disease in the gastrointestinal track. “You really need to make a close relationship with your physician to figure out what is going on,” she said. “And
sometimes, yes, that can be challenging.” Many people with hepatitis C can live with the condition for years without symptoms and without knowledge of the affliction. That can cause serious repercussions such as liver failure down the road.

“If people have hepatitis C that is not diagnosed, it can go on to end-stage liver disease that would eventually require a liver transplant,” she said. “If patients are [diagnosed in time], they can actually be completely cured and lead a normal life.” Dawravoo lives in Hinsdale with her husband Kevin Dawravoo, who also is a physician, and their children. She sees and treats patients at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove and Hinsdale Ambulatory Care Clinic in Hinsdale. The 34-year-old compiled an impressive resume even before settling into her clinical practice. While in medical school at Loyola, she was chosen as chief resident. Three years later, she became the chief of gastrointestinal fellowship. During training, she published medical chapters, research papers and made scientific presentations at several national and regional medical conferences. Her practice, along with Northwestern and University of Chicago, are the only practices in Chicago to perform clinical studies, advancing the treatment of hepatitis C, helping to create a new standard of care for patients across the country. She also is one of the few gastrointestinal physicians who works with Access DuPage, a nonprofit medical organization that treats uninsured patients in DuPage County. In addition, Dawravoo is the youngest teaching volunteer for Hinsdale Family Practice Residency program. She said following her positive experience as a resident, she knew she would want to incorporate teaching into her career. “I think what I like most about teaching is just being a role model and being somebody they can come to for both medical advice and personal advice,” she said. “There was a lot people I looked up to and went to for medical advice. I want to be that person.”

t National University of Health Sciences, if you’ve finished your general education requirements, you can earn a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science in as little as 16 months. Not only that, NUHS gives you the freedom to tailor your own degree program by letting you create a course list that matches your unique goals. Whether you plan to use your science education for a career in business, health care, or as a prelude to graduate school, you can construct a specific program to give you the best preparation. According to Dr. Randy Swenson, dean of NUHS’ College of Allied Health Sciences, “You can choose from any combination of courses in our BS program to complete your bachelor’s degree. There are no required core courses, just a requirement that you earn 64 credits. So no matter which of our many courses you pick to meet those credits, you’re on track.” That means that if you are interested in medical administration or hospital work, you can choose courses in Medical Spanish, Medical Terminology and Computer Software. Planning a career in sports and fitness, how about adding courses in Sports and Performance Nutrition, Kinesiology, or Exercise Physiology? If you are looking for a place in research or laboratory work, you might choose courses in Research Methods and Statistics, or Epidemiology. If you want to learn more about how the brain works, NUHS offers Biopsychology and Neuroscience. “Most of our students are interested in nutrition,” Dr. Swenson says. “That’s why NUHS has six separate courses in nutrition and food science available in the BS program.” NUHS is a primary destination for those seeking a professional career in natural health care. Originally founded in 1906 as a single purpose chiropractic college, National’s academic programs now encompass chiropractic medicine, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, oriental medicine, massage therapy, and more.
The best part of earning your bachelor’s degree at National University is that you’ll be taught by many of the same faculty who teach in the professional degree programs, and you’ll use the graduate-level facilities of one of the world’s top universities specializing in natural medicine. NUHS boasts an outstanding library of 13,000+ volumes devoted to health science, a cadaver-based gross anatomy laboratory, as well as an on-campus student clinic where you can
take advantage of free health services. NUHS’ beautiful 35-acre Lombard campus is conveniently located in suburban Chicago, and offers on-campus housing, financial aid counseling, a student fitness center, and several student social and professional networking organizations. Want to learn more? Visit www.nuhs. edu to apply online, schedule a visit, or view the entire line-up of course descriptions and start envisioning how NUHS can help prepare you for your future goals.

Restaurant reviews
Vistro serves Paul Virant take on family dining HINSDALE – I first attempted to stroll into Vistro on a Wednesday evening without a reservation. That was foolish, I quickly realized, when the hostess politely told me that it would be at least an hour wait. This is Paul Virant’s eagerly anticipated new family restaurant, after all, and the large space was packed – all the seats around the bar, all the tables in the back, all the waiting room in front. I’m impatient, so I made a reservation for the next evening, and returned to Hinsdale with my friend who has more patience with me than I would. The next night it was similarly busy, because, as a busser commented after our meal, “Everyone comes out for Chef Paul.” The mood was lively, with conversing couples, business professionals and families filling the tasteful but casual space. No sign identifies the building facade, but an interior, exposed brick wall is painted with a large Vistro logo bearing the motto: It’s all good. Not many children are likely to be found eating at Virant’s other two acclaimed restaurants, Vie in Western Springs and Perennial Virant in Chicago, so he has said he wants Vistro to be a place where every member of the family can find something appealing. And he has pulled it off. The menu has quesadillas and pizzas and other accessible options, joined by upscale touches such as the West Loop salumi selection. I noticed the dry-aged burger appeared to be the most popular item coming out of the kitchen, along with fried chicken. The drink menu is kid-friendly, as well, with every cocktail also available as a mocktail; and a selection of special sodas joins a short list of craft beers. A careful drink menu that

Garden 6 backyard projects you can’t skip this fall (BPT) - When it comes to caring for your yard, maintenance is crucial - especially during the fall when it needs to recover from the wear and tear of summer and prepare for winter’s harsh conditions. Knowing what your lawn and garden needs from season to season not only makes it easier for you to stay organized with your list of backyard to-do’s, but it also allows you to identify and treat
any problems before they become bigger issues down the road. Get your lawn and garden back in shape and ready for the coming season by completing these fall backyard projects.

out your yard. If you notice an affected area while inspecting your lawn, treat the problem area immediately and then reseed it. This will nourish grass, plus help it establish strong roots needed for growth in the spring.

2.
When You Don’t Need, Or Can’t Afford A Full Remodel
3.
Remove leaves and small debris - Leaves, small twigs and light dirt can quickly accumulate in your yard during the fall and if not removed, can cause soil compaction and make your yard look messy. For a quick cleanup solution, use a leaf blower to easily move debris from your lawn, driveway or patio. Opt for a blower like Troy-Bilt’s new Jet leaf blower that achieves a perfect balance of speed and volume with its mixed-flow fan design, helping you clear your yard efficiently and effectively. Jet also has an optimal weight balance, so the blower is stable and easy to control. When removing leaves, make sure they are dry and wind is at a bare minimum to ensure an easy removal process. Compost - Fall isn’t too late to start a compost pile as it takes six months to one year to develop into rich soil you can use in your garden. Keep in mind, compost decom-
position slows down during the cooler months, which is why it is important to retain heat needed for decomposition by refraining from turning your compost pile.
5.
Prune - Pruning is considered the best preventive maintenance for your trees and shrubs, particularly in the fall and late dormant season. Look to prune diseased or dying branches, but be sure not to remove unreasonably large branches. This leaves exposed stubs that can potentially cause health problems.
6.
Weed - Though a yearround yard task, it’s extremely important to pull as many weeds as possible in the fall. As cooler temperatures set in, weeds start to store food in their roots for the winter. Prevent weed regrowth by pulling or digging weeds out of the ground with a weeding blade or use a homemade weed control solution, such as a combination of vinegar, water and dish soap.

Hearing loss stigma delays treatment SPONSORED BY
By Gina Kraman If you can’t see, you get your eyes checked. If you can’t hear, you get your ears checked. Right? Wrong. Of the 10 percent of Americans who experience hearing loss, only half get treated. And it’s not just because of cost. A social stigma linked to hearing loss stops people from seeking treatment, according to Susan Rogan, Au.D., Doctor of Audiology , who practices in Westmont and La Grange Park. She explains, “People think hearing loss is a natural progression of aging. They feel it’s an ‘old’ person’s affliction, and by admitting there’s a problem, they’re admitting they’re no longer young. “The average person waits about five to seven years before seeking help for his or her hearing loss,” Rogan says. “Even when some insurance companies had in the past paid for hearing aids, people didn’t get them.” However, she adds, “Early intervention for hearing loss produces much better outcomes than waiting.”
Join Mike Blinder, author and one of the nation’s leading digital marketing experts with over 60,000 small and medium size businesses world-wide using one of his online marketing solutions, as he shows you how to effectively advertise in both print and digital formats.
Waiting can mean withdrawing from family, friends, and social interactions.

“People resist treatment until their family members beg them to get help. The family is tired of repeating themselves, and listening to the volume blasting on the television. The patients don’t know what they don’t hear.”

Until they get treatment, and realize what they’ve been missing. Rogan remembers one 50-year-old patient who finally corrected his hearing loss, and was amazed at the small things he could detect, like creaking stairs. Little things that promote fully engaging in life. The first step is making an appointment with a licensed audiologist to determine hearing loss, defined as a deviation from what’s normal. Hearing loss strikes men and women equally, and depending on the cause, can be treated with a customized plan. “Today’s technology offers solutions that fit about all patients physically and financially,” Rogan says.

D sparks O in Downers Grove South win By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com BERWYN – Downers Grove South’s offense had struggled in recent games, so Jonah Johnson and the defense made some big plays to provide a boost. Johnson had two interceptions, including one on the first play of the game, and a fumble recovery as the defense forced four turnovers in total as Downers Grove South beat Morton 30-7 Friday to improve
to 2-2 on the season. The visiting Mustangs turned those turnovers into the first 12 points of the game. Jacob Baker ran in for a 4-yard score after Johnson’s first interception in the first quarter. Baker passed to Maxwell Soderlund for a 30-yard touchdown following an Eric Denby interception late in the second quarter. “It means everything to us,” Johnson said of the win. “We got to get the offense moving. We had struggles in the
first few games with that. Our defense is the core of our team and we all know that. As long as our offense keeps it up we can go far.” A Riley Heavey field goal just before halftime made it 150. Ryan Taylor had a 38-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and Heavey passed to Baker for an 8-yard touchdown in the fourth. That gave Baker the distinction of having a passing, rushing and receiving touchdown in the game.
Baker started at quarterback in place of injured starter Jordan Skach. The senior completed his first nine pass attempts and didn’t have any turnovers. Soderlund caught all 10 of Baker’s completions. “He was my quarterback my sophomore year so we always throw together,” Soderlund said. “He always takes the second team’s reps so I’m throwing with him a lot. It didn’t really throw us off much.”
Soderlund had 124 yards receiving and eight receptions for more than 10 yards as Baker’s favorite target. Skach didn’t dress for the game after getting injured in Week 3 against Addison Trail. DGS plays an 0-4 Leyden team next week and is hoping to strong some wins together to make the playoffs. “I think it was a good first step,” Soderlund said. “We need to start getting on a roll and I think this was a good team to play.”
DGR
(0-1 WSG); DGS 2-2 (1-1 WSG) n OUTLOOK: The Mustangs can move above .500 in this West Suburban Gold game against the Eagles, who are averaging just seven points per game this season. A Mustangs’ offense looking to get on track faces a Leyden defense that has allowed 40 or more points in its past three games.

Defense lifts Benet past St. Patrick SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LISLE – The defense has been the biggest strength for Benet’s football team this season, and that was the case again Friday night. Mac Cooney’s interception return for a touchdown was the go-ahead score and the defense pitched a second-half shutout in the Redwings’ 28-7 win against St. Patrick at Benedictine University. Benet, which improved to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the East Suburban Catholic Conference with the win, found itself tied 7-7 with the Shamrocks late in the third quarter before Cooney recorded his fourth interception of the season and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown that made it a 14-7 game after Matt Tromp added the point after kick. Cooney’s interception seemed to spark the Redwings and shake the Shamrocks. St. Pat’s went three and out on its ensuing drive, and a shanked punt set up Benet at the Shamrocks’ 33-yard line. Jack Sznajder connected with Colin Brahler for 23 yards on fourth and 6 to keep the drive alive and set up Sznajder’s 7-yard touchdown strike to Charlie Sandor to make it a 21-7 game early in the fourth quarter.
Game breakdown Benet 28, St. Patrick 7 BENET LEADERS n PASSING: Jack Sznajder 16of-22, 225 yards, 2 TDs n RUSHING: Brad Sznajder 24-87; Jack Sznajder 5-41; Ricky Scheuller 3-32 n RECEIVING: Colin Brahler 3-110, TD; Karl Schmidt 7-70; Brad Sznajder 3-33; Charlie Sandor 1-7, TD; Myles McKernin 2-5
Week 5 matchup Lorae Mundt - For Shaw Media
Benet quarterback Jack Sznajder (right) hands off to wide receiver Karl Schmidt during Friday’s game against St. Patrick at Benedictine University. Sznajder had his best game passing in a 28-7 win. Benet’s ensuing drive was a short one – an 82-yard touchdown toss from Sznajder to Brahler to make it 28-7. Sznajder had his most prolific game as a varsity quarterback, passing for 225 yards and the two scores. His career night came at a perfect time as older brother and running back Brad Sznajder was held to fewer than 100 yards rushing for the first time this season.
Even though the elder Sznajder was held below the century mark, he still impacted the game as he capped Benet’s opening 17-play, 79-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run on fourth and goal that put the Redwings ahead 7-0 early in the game. Benet’s defense held St. Pat’s to less than 60 yards of offense in the second half, and it was the third straight game the Redwings allowed 10 points or fewer in a game.
n WHO: Benet at Marist n WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday n WHERE: 4200 W. 115th St.,
Chicago
n RECORDS: Benet 4-0 (2-0
ESCC); Marist 1-3 (0-2 ESCC)
n OUTLOOK: Benet is one of
three teams sitting atop the East Suburban Catholic Conference with a 2-0 record. To stay at the top, the Redwings will need to play well against a traditionally strong Marist team that has underachieved with its 1-3 record. Benet’s defense is yielding just 8.25 points per game and will look to stay tough.
Sullivan sees diving success SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA DOWNERS GROVE – Kevin Sullivan was competing on a big stage and fared quite well under the spotlight. When the Downers Grove resident and Herrick Middle School eighthgrade student participated in the USA Diving Junior National Championships in August at the University of Tennessee, Sullivan earned several high marks. He placed fourth on the 1-meter dive with a score of 293.15. He also was 24th on the platform (211.75) and 28th on 3-meter board (243.45). The showings at the national meet were just the most recent of several solid results for Sullivan. He was the 1-meter champion and fourth on both 3-meter and platform at the USA Diving Summer Junior Zone C Championships and was the titleist on the 1-meter board at both the Illinois Diving Association Championships and USA Diving Junior Region 5 Championships as well.
Downers Grove North learns from loss against OPRF By DAVE OWEN msleditorial@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A brutal mid-September schedule did no favors for Downers Grove North’s football team. Consecutive losses against undefeated West Suburban Silver foes Glenbard West and Oak Park-River Forest in a 35-3 contest on Friday dropped the Trojans’ record to 1-3 on the season, but they haven’t crushed the team’s hopes going forward. “Our defense gave up a few big plays in both games, and our offense couldn’t finish drives,” North quarterback David Edwards said. “That will change.

OPRF answered with a Yates to KeJuan Ratcliff touchdown pass to lead 28-3, then an interception at the Huskies’ 38-yard line stopped the Trojans’ last threat to answer. “It was tough,” Edwards said. “But we moved the ball and our offensive line did an unbelievable job tonight. “We got it inside the 20 a few times, but we just couldn’t finish drives. But hats off to [OPRF] – their defense did a great job too.” Edwards accounted for 134 yards of offense on the night. Sophomore Zack Figura (30yard pass reception) and Ken Bucher each had three receptions.

The yards compiled and touchdowns set new Westmont records. Thomas, the Sears Hardware & Appliance Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about his record-setting night, defeating Lisle and where the Sentinels are headed this season.

DGN relay sets new school record Daria Wick, Ellie Benge, Gaby Serniute and Lindsay Mathys penciled their names in the record books for Downers Grove North’s girls swim team. The quartet set a new record in the 400-yard relay with a time of 3:35.63 in a dual meet against Oak Park-River Forest on Thursday. The time was more than two seconds faster than the previous best and set a new OPRF pool record. The 400 relay was one of nine event wins for the Trojans, but they lost the dual against the Huskies 94-92. Serniute, Wick, Mathys and lead swimmer Cassandra Candel won the 200 medley relay (1:51.24). Mathys won on her own in the 200 freestyle (1:56.31) and 100 freestyle (53.88).

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT CHICAGOFOOTBALL.COM
CHICAGO FOOTBALL.COM Hub Arkush extremely competitive, but still is coming up short in what looks like a much tougher AFC North than we anticipated just three weeks ago. That leaves Houston and Buffalo as this year’s top worst-to-first candidates. While both hit roadblocks in Week 3, the Bills have shown they possess a number of ways to beat you on their good days. The Texans appear capable of playing defense with almost anyone, and they will benefit from a lighter schedule than most in what may prove to be the league’s softest division this year. More puzzling to most is what’s wrong with the big boys right now? San Francisco, Green Bay, New Orleans and Indianapolis were all popular preseason Super Bowl picks. All four have played well in short stretches and extremely poorly in others. All sit at 1-2 right now. New England is 2-1, but
Don’t miss seeing ‘Chicago Football Now’ Watch Hub Arkush and the rest of our coverage team break down this weekend’s Bears game on “Chicago Football Now” at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on WCIU The U or at 2:30 p.m. Saturday on The U Too. it’s been awfully tough sledding for them on offense, where they are expected to dominate. The defending champion Seahawks are in good shape at 2-1, but their defense has shown some cracks against San Diego and Denver. The biggest disappointment has to be the 49ers, who’ve been outscored 52-3 in second halves this year and blown first half leads the past two weeks. While we knew they could be vulnerable on defense with a revamped secondary and awaiting the midseason returns of Aldon Smith and Navarro Bowman, it’s the 25 penalties they’ve committed in their past two games –
for more than 100 yards in losses – and their four turnovers versus the Bears that have killed them. New Orleans went from one of the league’s shakiest defenses in 2012 to one of the best in 2013, but it has really taken a step back early this year. The Saints were better in their home opener Sunday versus the A.P.-less Vikings, but let’s see what happens when they travel to Dallas in Week 4. The Packers were awful on defense the first two weeks. While they seemed to find some answers in Detroit, they can’t protect Aaron Rodgers and appear to be heading nowhere fast. Indianapolis bares watching as its two losses are to 2-1 Denver on the road and 3-0 Philadelphia. They were very impressive claiming its first win in Jacksonville. But with Robert Mathis now gone for the season with an Achilles tear, it’s hard to imagine the Colts going deep in the playoffs if they get there. Who’s the biggest surprise on the upside? That has to be the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona lost its three

best players on defense during the offseason – Karlos Dansby to free agency, Daryl Washington to suspension and Darnell Dockett to injury, and then lost the fourth in John Abraham one week into the season. It also claimed victories two and three with quarterback Carson Palmer on the sidelines and in spite of the distraction of Jonathan Dwyer’s domestic abuse charges. The temptation is to assume the Cards will struggle to stay with Seattle and San Francisco, who are each more talented. But at this point, who’s to say they can’t? There is still plenty of time to sort all this out, but at this point of the season, Green Bay and San Francisco appear to be in trouble, and if the Saints fall in Dallas Sunday, they will be in big trouble. The surprise clubs to watch very closely the next few weeks will be the Cardinals, Texans, Bills, Chargers and Steelers. Any of those five that get to the midway point with five or six wins could be a real threat all year long.

One thing we’ve learned about the NFL in recent seasons is if you think you know who the real contenders are, just wait a couple of weeks and it will certainly change. Over the past two decades, no more than eight of 12 playoff teams have repeated. And in most of those seasons, back-toback playoff appearances have been more like a 50-50 proposition. Then, of course, there’s the worst-to-first transitions that have seen at least one and often two or three teams go from last in their divisions to first in just one season since the turn of the century. Still, with 2014 now already 19 percent complete, this is crazy! I don’t know about you, but I have no idea who the chalk is. It seems a safe bet that 2013 cellar dwellers Oakland, Jacksonville and Tampa will continue to struggle, while St. Louis and Minnesota appeared ready to compete until injuries and offthe-field issues felled key contributors Sam Bradford, Chris Long and Adrian Peterson. Cleveland has been
