that we are very results-based and we want everyone to feel good about themselves when they leave; not only on the outside, but on the inside.” Sally, who grew up in Lisle and graduated from Lisle High School, said she relocated her business to expand its services and bring it closer to home. The studio specializes in bridal and more than 60 weddings a year, Sally said. “We go to [the bride’s] home or hotel to make sure it goes smoothly and is stress-free,”

for her early success, as her clients would praise her work on wedding chat boards, in turn causing her to become “bombarded with wedding inquiries,” she said. “I fell into the wedding industry since my sisters’ friends asked me to do makeup at their weddings and their friends asked me,” Sally said. “I kept getting reviews and more and more wanted me.” Sally is also a licensed esthetician from the University of Aesthetics in Downers Grove, which she graduated from in 2012. Part of Sally’s drive to expand her business was fueled by the loss of her parents, who passed away in 2012. “It was a wakeup call that life is too short,” Sally said. “I wanted to do what I knew I would love – to own a full-ser-

vice salon.” Blend Beauty has been featured in online wedding blog Style Me Pretty and has won the WeddingWire Network’s Bride’s Choice Award, which is based on online reviews from brides who have utilized the studio’s services for the past three years, Sally said. Her long-term goal is to eventually expand her business by hiring more stylists and artists and moving to a larger space in Lisle. She is also considering offering massage therapy in the future. But for now, Sally is happy with the way her business has developed. “We have a great energy in the studio space,” Sally said. “I definitely think our motto is to live a beautiful life. Most people leave smiling and that’s what we love.”

fits and the elimination and consolidation of redundant or unnecessary districts as examples of the ongoing effort to scale back spending. “The challenge for [the county] is to be the example of how to take care of our affairs in the area that we can influence,” he said. “We want to demonstrate how we can find efficiencies.” Choose DuPage President and CEO Greg Bedalov said the county government’s thrifty approach makes for a business-friendly environment. He added that Cronin “help[ed] set the tone and the

mindset, the culture of lean and efficient government that drives pro-business interests.” That political environment has led to the lowest unemployment rates, the most educated workforce and the lowest industrial vacancy rate of any county in northeast Illinois, Bedalov said. The developing Rev3 industrial innovation center project headlined by Choose DuPage shows the county is on the cutting edge of new manufacturing, according to Cronin. He also discussed the importance of public transporta-

tion to the future of the county and emphasized a desire to reform or restructure area public transit. While he said he is happy considering streamlining and combining services, he maintained that the main issue is the state funding disparity between Chicago and its surrounding counties. “We have public transit needs out here, we are subsidizing the CTA, we are subsidizing a lot of what goes on in the city of Chicago,” he said. “I’m happy to help out my fellow man, but you know, there’s an appropriate amount and degree.”

Chairman Dan Cronin said he and the rest of the DuPage County Board are striving to make county government operate like a well-run business during a recent State of DuPage County Address. Cronin gave his remarks Jan. 8 at Seven Bridges Golf Club in Woodridge. The chambers of Westmont, Downers Grove, Woodridge and Lisle participated in the event, which was sponsored by Choose DuPage. Much of the speech extolled

the county’s fiscal responsibility. By spending taxpayer dollars responsibly, he said, DuPage government could avoid raising property taxes for the sixth straight year and keep money in residents’ pockets. “If you add up the dollars that we collect at the local government level through property taxes and all the different agencies, it’s an enormous amount of money that is taken out of the economy,” he said. Cronin pointed to the county’s balanced 2014 budget, the reduction of employee bene-

She then returned to the Chicago area, where she freelanced as a makeup artist for nine years. In 2009, she selected a group of hair and makeup artist to begin her bridal business. After a few name changes, Blend Beauty was born. Sally credits the Internet

During a week in which temperatures plummeted and snow piled up more than a foot, a group of hardened nature-lovers braved the cold in the name of birdwatching. The DuPage Birding Club holds more than 80 field trips every year for local birders, including the first weekend of the year at Lyman Woods Forest Preserve that featured 23 degree temperatures and a 7:57 a.m. start time. “Birds are incredibly engrossing,” said Club President Linda Padera of Western Springs. “You can see them almost any time of day or night, depending on where you are and the season.” Despite the poor conditions, the nine person group saw about 225 birds, according to group leader Joan Campbell of Downers Grove. Padera said her involvement with the club, like many other members,’ grew from a love of nature established at a young age, while watching birds with her mother in the backyard of her childhood home in Detroit. She spent several years birdwatching on her own before slowly meeting other bird-

ers who recommended she join the club. “It’s great to bird with people who love to bird,” she said. “A lot of it is kind of on your own, but after awhile you get to meet an awful lot of people who share your interest.” Former president and club member Diann Bilderback of Winfield said she began birding after curiosity overtook her during a walk in a local forest preserve. Soon after, she bought a field guide and took it with her while exercising. “As I was out walking, I’d see a bird and I’d try to identify it,” she said. “It was a little game for me.” When she stumbled upon a group of birdwatchers some years ago during the club’s annual New Year’s Day walk at Morton Aboretum, she was immediately interested. “I was delighted to discover there was this community out there to engage with because I had done it on my own for over a year,” she said. “I was pretty excited to learn it wasn’t just

me out there by myself with a book.” In fact, the club’s membership is at an all-time high, Bilderback said, with 280 watchers, making it one of the largest clubs in the state. Club outings generally consist of small groups, usually between 10 and 15, and are focused on a particular habitat and time of year, and the types of birds that can be seen in those conditions, she said. Experienced leaders, including some of the region’s foremost experts, take longtime birders and novices alike through natural areas all over the county. Bilderback said her interest in the pastime comes not only from her enjoyment of the birds and the environment, but also from the challenge. “There is constant learning. If you’re a person that likes learning and exploring, then birding is a lifetime hobby, because you’ll never run out of things to learn,” she said. “It’s a constant process of discovery.”

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 completely 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 was also spelled Peltz, Pils, Pels and Pilz. He fought in the 52nd Ohio Infantry. There is anecdotal evidence that Moberg fought in the war but the organizations have not found concrete proof, yet.

NATURE’S BEST

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.

DOWNERS GROVE – Pizza lovers will have a chance to sample several of the area’s best slices and pick their favorite in an effort to help local schools Thursday at the first-ever Pizza Wars. At the event, eight local pizza makers will come together under one roof to support the District 99 Education Foundation, which benefits the students of North High School and South High School in Downers Grove. Pizza Wars attendees will receive a pizza sample from each of the sponsoring pizzerias: Al’s, Aurelio’s, Giordano’s,

John & Eddie’s, Papa’s Pizza Place, Sarpino’s, Skuddlebutts and Tortorice’s. After sampling the various pizzas, attendees will vote for their favorite. The winner will receive the honor and bragging rights of having the “Best Pizza in District 99.” “We’ve borrowed the concept of a pizza tasting from our neighbors in Niles,” District 99 Education Foundation President Eric Olson said in a news release. “Its education foundation has hosted a similar event for three years now, and it has grown tremendously in popularity. “It’s a great way for families to come out and try something

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

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. “Help small businesses stay in business.

Are you sufering with

Irritable Bowel, Celiac, Crohn’s or Colitis? Are you afraid to leave your house due to an unpredictable bowel? Have you tried diferent treatments but continue to sufer? Do you know the essentials for a healthy digestive system? Have you given up and decided to just live with it? he 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, inlammation and food allergies. Hippocrates, the father of medicine said… “look to the gut, there will you ind the origin of almost all human illness.”

Hi, my name is Dr. Jefrey 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. here 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 of oncogenes leading to potential cancer growth. If HCL is deicient, this results in poor digestion and a many imbalances due to a deiciency of methyl groups. HCL deiciency 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. hese probiotics are also part of your immune

system. hey 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). his dysbiosis can lead to pathologic bacterial, yeast and parasitic infections as well as food allergies. Digestive system inlammation is associated with IBS, Crohn’s, Celiac and Ulcerative Colitis. It is due to stress, poor diet, toxins and food allergies. Digestive inlammation leads to production of cytokines (inlammatory cells). hese cytokines travel in the blood to the brain and inlame the brain cells. he brain (mesencephalon) in turn controls the digestive system. his leads to a vicious cycle resulting in an inlammatory 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 inlammation and detoxifying the body. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a digestive disorder that includes abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alternating constipation and diarrhea. he cause is unknown but theories include toxic overload, intestinal infections, inlammation 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. hese medications may give you symptom relief but have side efects 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. hey told me it was likely all in my head. hen I visited Dr. Forzley and he told me from the initial consultation that he was very conident 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 diiculty 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. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders. But you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY and decrease the efects 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) inding and balancing the underlying cause and… 2) using natural therapies that work with your body.

Rep. Lipinski looks to fight against Asian carp SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA 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 in-

cludes 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 rec-

reational 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. Lipinski said it was critical that all of the possibilities for controlling the nuisance be explored and that the pros and cons of each were weighed, including looking at the estimated cost, time, environmental

impact, economic impact and likelihood of success. Lipinski cosponsored an amendment to the Water Resources Reform and Development Act that requires federal agencies to develop a set of best practices to eliminate the spread of Asian carp through activities like contract fishing and pesticide application. In 2009, Lipinski helped to pass legislation that enabled the construction of a 13-mile system of barriers in his dis-

trict to prevent the invasive species from being swept from the Des Plaines River and the I&M Canal into the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal during heavy rains and flooding. The congressman’s district also is home to three electronic barriers in operation in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near Romeoville to deter the movement of Asian carp and between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River basin.

Good Samaritan Hospital Assistant Director of Trauma Dr. James Cole deploys to Afghanistan this month with the Navy Reserves for his third tour of duty in the Middle East.

We introduced the story of a Good Sam Hospital surgeon heading to Afghanistan for his third tour in the Middle East with a simple headline: “Service over self.” We thought that perfectly summed up the attitude of Dr. James Cole, who joined the Navy as a medical student in 1988. Godspeed, Dr. Cole! A pat on the back for all the local efforts to dig the Lisle community out of the snow and deal with the frigid cold that gripped the area over a three-day span last week.

Any questions concerning the content of this page should be directed to the phone number referenced in the article. If a number is not listed in the article, please call the Community Response Center at 1.630.434.CALL (2255). Meeting dates, times, locations and agendas are subject to change.

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.

BUS DRIVERS WANTED The Village of Downers Grove is accepting applications for parttime bus drivers. Minimum Requirements: Requirements include a CDL Class “B” License with Passenger and Air Brake endorsements and a good driving record. Candidates must be at least 21 years old. Starting Wage - $14.44/hour to $17.33/hour with potential to $19.89/hour. Applications are available at the reception desk in the Village Hall. Position is opened until filled. E.O.E.

• CEMETERY Continued from page 4 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.” Descendants of the Civil War veterans can contact Bailey at foxvalleycivwar@live. com or Sterba at loissterba@ gmail.com.

Something favorable I live in Downers Grove. I had a problem with the sewer. I called DuPage County Public Works ... The next day they came out and determined the cause of the problem. And I want you to know, I was very pleased with what they did. They were very courteous, very thorough ... You hear a lot of complaints. This is something favorable I want to tell you about.

A shred of common sense? What is wrong with people in

Brookfield? I live on a narrow street, which has cars parked on both sides, even now, with all the snow! They park directly across from other parked cars! Does anyone have a shred of common sense anymore? I see the snowplows and garbage trucks creeping so slowly to squeeze past without hitting any of them. Why can’t the village of Brookfield require people to park on one side of the street only? What if a fire truck or ambulance needs to get down our streets?

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.

What’s wrong with that?

in my own subdivision, the plowing hasn’t been that great. It could and should be. Plowing two times in one direction, only one in another, maneuvering around parked cars only when the plow driver feels like it – sometimes my little middle street isn’t even plowed. The driver comes back around hours later or a day later. Call, the Public Works or the village and you’re treated rudely. Homeowners deserve better in Lemont. Village, please take note.

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.” Walt Zlotow Glen Ellyn

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. Cheers, John O’Driscoll Owner Belle Aire Kennels & Grooming

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.

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 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. A large number of TheraCORE’s patients come directly 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 itness 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

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

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

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.

Lisle’s TyAnn LeGrand-Melton passes the ball during a 37-18 win against Wilmington on Friday. The Lions lost Monday their first conference game of the season to Seneca.

Lions lose board battle, game to Seneca By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com LISLE – The keys to success so far this season for Lisle’s girls basketball team have been its ability to defend and rebound. Both aspects were lacking for the Lions in a 42-28 loss to Interstate Eight Conference foe Seneca on Monday. “The difference in the game was their ability to get offensive rebounds,” head coach Nick Balaban said. “We did not do a good job keeping them off the boards. “From day one, our whole

approach has been we have to defend and rebound night in and night out. If we do that, we have the opportunity to win games. We just not do a good job of that [Monday] night.” The game was tied 12-12 early in the second quarter, but the Irish went on a 12-3 run for a 24-15 halftime lead and their lead hovered around nine or 10 points for much of the rest of the game. “In the first and second quarters they scored probably 10 or 12 points off of offensive rebounds,” Balaban said. “Seneca played good defense, and offensively they were very

deliberate and took care of the ball. Once we got down it was hard to get back in it.” Sierra Birdsell and Sarah Mogensen scored eight points apiece as Lisle’s record slipped to 16-4 overall and 7-1 in the Interstate Eight. Lisle won’t have time to dwell on its first conference loss. The Lions will host Hinckley-Big Rock at 6:45 p.m. today before starting play at the I-8 tournament Saturday. They earned the No. 2 seed in the tourney and will face either No. 7 Westmont or No. 10 Herscher at 4 p.m. Saturday at ReedCuster, site of the tourney.

“It’s one loss and we’ll move on,” Balaban said. “That’s what I told the girls [Monday]. The schedule is going to be tough from here on out with Hinckley-Big Rock, Timothy Christian, the conference tournament, Coal City and Peotone. Regardless of how we fare, it’s going to be good preparation for us for the state tournament, because we believe we have a chance to win a regional.”

topped the Wildcats 49-34 for its first win of 2014 on Friday. The Lions led just 22-21 at the half, but they outscored the Wildcats 16-1 in the third quarter to open up a substantial lead and put the game out of reach. Jeremy Glavanovits led the way with 14 points and nine rebounds, and Nick Massura added 11 points as Lisle improved to 1-4 in conference play. Glavanovits had 10 points and seven rebounds and Massura also scored 10 points as Lisle boys Facing visiting Wilmington Lisle’s record slipped to 2-13 for the second time this season, overall with Saturday’s 64-46 Lisle’s boys basketball team loss to Aurora Christian.

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.

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.”

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.”

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 Bill Ackerman - backerman@shawmedia.com the varsity squad.

Joliet Catholic too much for Benet girls basketball team By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com LISLE – Benet’s girls basketball team could not find its footing from the field against Joliet Catholic. Facing one of the top teams in the state Jan. 8, the Redwings shot a dismal 12-of-50

from the floor – going 2-for-19 from behind the arc – as they fell behind early to Joliet Catholic and could not recover in a 65-44 loss. “We were not very strong in an area we normally excel in,” said Benet head coach Peter Paul. “Beforehand, we said that we needed to make shots to

keep pace with Joliet Catholic, but that did not happen.” The culmination of an off night from Benet’s typically sharp shooting guards and a stifling Joliet Catholic defense, the Redwings sunk just a pair of baskets in the first half yet remained in the game thanks to seven trips to the free throw

stripe. Guards Kathleen Doyle and Emily Eshoo paced the Redwings in the first half, combining for 12 of the team’s 15 points; 10 of their 12 points came at the free throw line. Trailing 27-15 at the start of the third quarter, Benet hit two of its first three shots to cut the deficit to 31-20. However, Joliet

Catholic then went on a 19-4 run to close the third frame and put the game out of reach. Eshoo finished with 13 points while Doyle added 11 points. The Benet girls rebounded on Saturday to defeat St. Viator 66-49. The victory marked the Redwings first conference win of the season.

LIS

School: Bolingbrook Class: Senior Position: Forward Impact: Size is a big key to

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.

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.”

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.
