LEMONT – The Lemont Park District Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to leave the Tri County Special Recreation Association and become a member of the South East Association for Special Parks and Recreation during its Tuesday meeting.

Membership is pending a two-thirds approval by the SEASPAR Board during its Nov. 18 meeting. The Lemont Park District will remain a member of the Tri County SRA until April.

Board president Brian Pepich said the decision was made because SEASPAR provides more services, but parents at the meeting were upset that their children would be uprooted from the Tri County SRA programs they were familiar with.

The decision also puts the Tri County SRA’s future in jeopardy.

Tri County SRA executive director Peggy Wilson said the association needs to find another park district to join it in order to continue levying taxes, from which it receives a majority of its operating funds.

She said that according to state park district code, special recreation associations in counties with more than 500,000 people need to have at least two park districts in order to levy taxes. The other members of the Tri County SRA are the Lockport Township Park District and the village of Romeoville. “[The Park District’s] consultant had told our parents there are six communities [who could join Tri County SRA], but three of them are villages and that won’t help us,” Wilson said. “Four that he had mentioned already belonged to a special rec [association].”

Lemont Park District Executive Director Louise Egofske said the Park District had been evaluating its special recreation services, hiring a consultant and holding public forums. They determined that they could provide more choices for residents by join-

ing SEASPAR, she said.

“We think we can have more programs for our families, specifically adult programming [through SEASPAR],” she said. “We hope to host more of those programs at the Park District.”

Wilson said it is evident the Lemont parents want to stay with Tri County SRA. “They’ve been happy with program,” she said. “They know our staff. They like the smallness of it. They had four public forums. Not once was there one complaint by one parent. Nobody wanted to leave and yet that’s what they decided to do.”

Parents at the meeting said they believed the Park District had already made up its mind to leave the Tri County SRA before the evaluation process.

Parents also speculated Lemont was leaving Tri County SRA because they could not get along with other members of the association.

Wilson said there were some philosophical differences between Lemont and other association members about issues such as the purchase of an administration building, Lemont’s representation in the or-

ganization and the staff hiring.

“Sometimes it’s hard when you have three, because you feel like it’s two against one a little bit,” she said. “I think that’s how Lemont felt on certain issues.”

A statement from the Lemont Park District said philosophical differences between members of Tri County SRA was part of the reason that it investigated joining another organization.

“Based on the structure and organization of the Tri County member districts, it has become difficult to implement or approve policies, capital expenditures, and future planning and programming,” the statement said.

Parents were concerned their children would not receive as much individual attention in a larger program such as SEASPAR. Pepich said the board is working to “come up with a mechanism to offset the additional cost.”

Egofske said they are working with SEASPAR to provide busing from Lemont locations and that programs in neighboring towns such as Woodridge and Darien may not be as far away as parents think.

LEMONT – About 200 volunteers have worked to put together “Haunted Central,” a haunted house held inside the closed Central School in Lemont.

Proceeds from the Halloween event, open today and Saturday, will benefit the District 113A Education Foundation and the Hope and Friendship Foundation.

The haunted house includes 13 exhibits, each designed by volunteers from the community.

District 113A Board president Cindy Kelly said the idea for “Haunted Central” evolved from two board members joking about turning Central School into a haunted house.

“Next thing you knew, we had a haunted school at Central,” she said.

Kelly and other board members have become heavily involved in the planning and decorating, along with several other groups, including Aspen Auto Body, the Nail Inn, District 113A teachers and bus drivers, and the Lemont High School science department, Interact Club, Drama Club and National Honor Society.

“We had no idea it would be this big when we started,” Kelly said. “We initially thought it would just be down a hallway and then go out.”

Old Quarry Middle School teacher Michelle Nevin, who is involved in decorating two rooms, said her students are excited for the event.

To ramp up the anticipation, she shared a video trailer former Central School princi-

LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board planned for future action on its 2014 property tax levy and defining time limits in its public comment policy during its Committee of the Whole meeting Monday.

The board will host a public hearing on its tax levy Nov. 24, with a vote on the levy Dec. 8.

Village Finance Director Chris Smith said she estimates an increase of 2.58 percent in the levy or $74,036.

The amount the tax levy can be increased is determined by the Consumer Price Index and the Equalized Assessed Valuation for the village.

Smith said the CPI is 1.5 percent, down from 1.7 percent last year. But she estimates $5.6 million in growth that will be available for taxation.

Mayor Brian Reaves said this is a good sign for the village.

“We have growth out there,” he said. “We have 50 new homes that were not on the tax roll last year.”

Also, the board is expected

Over 80 Wines to Taste

to vote Monday on whether to revise its rules regarding the public comment sessions at meetings.

The ordinance would include a three-minute time limit per speaker and a maximum 30 minutes for the public comment session. The mayor would have discretion on whether to extend a speakers allotted time.

The board clarified other attendees at the meeting are not allowed to give another speaker their three minutes so that person could speak longer.

Reaves said he would not apply overall time limit to special meetings on a specific topic such as if the board held a special meeting on the proposed Lemont Sports Complex.

The board also said speakers are not required to give their full name and address during a public hearing, but if they did not, they would not be included in the public record.

The Illinois Attorney General’s Office had previously determined the village cannot require a public speaker to give that information after a resident filed a complaint against the village.

Doctor shares secrets to being a better student

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com

LEMONT: 16 years n FAMILY: Married with four children n JOB: Neuroradiologist at Hines Veterans Administration Hospital rounded by valedictorians, the average SAT is the upper half of the 99th percentile,” he said.

“I had to learn how to get good at school fast.”

He said a fellow student at Stanford he had known from back home taught him study skills such as taking condensed notes. He ended up getting straight A’s in his premedicine classes.

Rogers said schools should do more to teach students learning and memorization skills because it will make them better students in all subject areas.

“I think that school has a tendency to just teach students information, quite often, out of context, and it’s hard for them to learn that or remember that long term,” he said.

medical terms, he uses tools such as pictures and mnemonic devices to make the abstract terms more tangible.

“What you want to do is take larger things and convert them into something that fits into your working memory,” he said. “You can do that by drawing a picture.”

Rogers said he has been collecting notes on these learning methods for more than 30 years and had always wanted to write a book on it.

As he saw the subjects of learning and memory become more popular, he said he wanted to publish the book before the market was overrun with books on the subject.

Rogers’ book was released in September and is available on Amazon.

He said his book is targeted toward students in high school and older, although he thinks students as young as junior high could learn these skills.

Although Rogers does well as a doctor, he said he would love to be able to teach these learning skills on a more frequent basis because education is even more valuable to society than health care.

“America has this mindset that getting good health care is like winning the lottery, and doctors are well paid for it,” he said. “Teachers, I think, are very underpaid.”

LEMONT – Dr. Peter Rogers believes being a good student is a skill that can be taught to anyone.

The Lemont resident and neuroradiologist at Hines Veterans Administration Hospital has collected his keys to learning in his book, “Straight A at Stanford and On to Harvard.”

Rogers focuses on memorization techniques that help students better retain information.

“The idea is that students can be helped a lot by learning these study techniques,” he said. “It’s been my impression that you can train a student, just like you would train an athlete.”

As the title alludes to, Rogers started out as an undergraduate at Stanford University and was a resident physician at Harvard University, with a stop at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in between.

But he said there was a time at Stanford when he feared he was going to flunk out of school.

He was recruited on a wrestling scholarship, but an injury prevented him from competing and his focus turned completely to the classroom.

As the Ebola epidemic continues to make headlines throughout the world, close attention has been made to health care facilities in this country and closer to home.

There have been three confirmed cases of Ebola in the U.S. as of Oct. 17, one of which killed Thomas Eric Duncan on Oct. 8 after he traveled from West Africa to Dallas.

Two health care workers who came in contact with Duncan at Texas Presbyterian Hospital have since tested pos-

itive for the disease.

The 2014 Ebola epidemic is the largest in history with the worldwide death total at nearly 4,500 as of Oct. 15, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak largely affects West African countries.

Still, a statement on the DuPage County Health Department website said the epidemic does not pose a significant risk to the U.S. public and DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said the county’s health department has been working to

Studying contrasts in Indiana and Illinois WEST LAFEYETTE, Ind. – Mitch Daniels has been a transformational leader for Indiana. For his eight years as governor, he charted a much different course for the Hoosier State than the one taken by Illinois. I sat down with the former governor, who now leads Purdue University, and asked him to discuss his time at Indiana’s helm.

“I told my people early on in my administration that VIEWS I wanted to build the best Scott sandbox in America. I wanted Reeder to create an environment that encouraged the hiring of people and more investment in Indiana,” he said. “I asked them to consider what they can do better, faster – or stop doing – to ensure that the next job comes here and not Illinois or some other state.”

Illinois remains down 157,000 jobs since the recession began in January 2008. But Indiana has regained all the jobs lost during the recession and created an additional 6,200 jobs. And that’s despite Indiana’s job losses from the recession being more severe than Illinois’.

Since the bottom of the recession, Illinois has created 253,000 net new jobs while Indiana has created 235,700. And Indiana has a population only half that of Illinois.

Since January 2009, when Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn took office and Daniels entered his second term, Illinois has created 33,800 net new jobs and Indiana 139,400.

Daniels indicated Illinois and other states have become overly reliant on offering special incentives to select businesses.

“When you give the checkbook of incentives to a politician, his incentive is to hand out the dough and cut the ribbon. If the jobs don’t show, it’s somebody else’s problem,” he said. “We don’t behave that way in Indiana, and I wish fewer politicians across the country – Republicans and Democrats – would as well.”

Daniels also focused on reducing taxes for businesses and individuals.

The income tax in Illinois is 5 percent, while Indiana’s is 3.4 percent and scheduled to drop to 3.23 percent in 2017. Illinois’ income tax is set to drop to 3.75 percent in 2015 and 3.25 in 2025, but that could change during the lame duck session.

Daniels pushed for property tax caps during his time in office.

“We now have one of the lowest property tax rates in the country. I can never resist pointing out that depending on where you live, Indianans pay one-third to one-fifth the average rate in Illinois.”

Scott Reeder is a veteran statehouse reporter and a journalist with Illinois News Network, a project of the Illinois Policy Institute. He can be reached at sreeder@illinoispolicy.org.

Well hopefully we have smart enough people to know this is all a lie. Check the money spent that Obama and his cronies are spending on climate change, the effects of monkeys drinking alcohol plus other stupid craziness.

This is how our money is spent.

There sure are some crazy ideas out there. It used to be Democrats and Republicans disagreed but supported good ideas from either side and got things done. Now, the Tea Party has changed that, ruined the Republican Party and completely disabled government on all levels. As near as I can determine, the Tea Party believes all misfortunes should be handled by the person affected or his/ her family or church. Maybe that worked when everyone had five or more siblings, three generations lived near each other and most people went to church. Get with the times. It’s OK, in fact it’s a darn good idea to have government insurance programs like unemployment insurance, Social Security and Medicare. We just need journalists to go back to investigating and finding out which politicians are dishonest like they used to instead of filling news time with Hollywood weddings and divorces. Anyway, I sure won’t be voting for any Tea Party candidates.

The sentence of John Wilson, 160 years finally, is a life sentence, and rightly so. But one should ask, for a man who has spent all but three out of the last 20 years in jail, and based on his IDOC inmate record which shows his many felony convictions, where is our three-strike rule like California has, that was approved by voters in 1994? There have been some modifications to that law over the years, but it basically sentences you 25 years to life after three certain types of convictions. Why doesn’t Illinois have this for repeat offenders? Oh, I get it, it will cost the state too much money to house these people for all those years. So lets let them loose on society early time after time to do what Wilson did.

This colorized transmission electron micrograph reveals some of the ultrastructural morphology displayed by an Ebola virus virion.

• EBOLA Continued from page 9 address the issue since August. “[The health department] have been developing all sorts of response plans and protocols. ... We’re not taking anything for granted,” said Cronin, who was briefed on the situation last week.

Cronin said it was “premature” to talk about setting aside county funds for an Ebola response.

“But, needless to say, we’re going to do whatever we’ve got to do,” he said.

Dr. Brian Harting, director of infection control at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, said nurses, physicians and cleaning staff are receiving specialized training by hospital infection control nurses in response to potential Ebola patients being admitted.

“We are teaching staff, especially nursing staff and doctors who would be caring for the patients, the proper methods for putting on and taking off personal protection items,” Harting said.

There also are planned special sites within the hospital where patients can be isolated

from other patients, he added.

The disease’s migration to the U.S. has led to enhanced entry screening at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

O’Hare is one of five airports that receive more than 94 percent of West African travelers.

JFK International Airport, Washington-Dulles, Newark, and Atlanta will also perform enhanced screenings, according to a CDC news release.

Maya gets 122 years in Romeoville murder

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com The night before he gunned down Briana Valle in her Romeoville driveway earlier this year, Erick Maya had another 15-year-old girlfriend “promise to wait for him” if he went to prison.

“Let’s see how long she can live,” Judge Robert Livas said Monday before sentencing Maya to 122 years in prison for Valle’s murder and the attempted murder of her mother, Alicia Guerrero.

Livas described Maya as “cretinous” and at one point described his own “revulsion” at Maya’s conduct during the trial as he deliv-

ered the sentence.

Guerrero testified at the sentencing hearing that she still has many medical Erick M. complications Maya from the Feb. 13 attack in which she was shot in the shoulder after her daughter was shot in the back of the head.

Valle’s parents had moved from Cicero to break off her relationship with Maya, who was eight years older. When Valle began making friends and dates, Maya sent text messages threatening to rape her and kill her whole family, ac-

cording to trial testimony.

“She never got to hear me tell her ‘I love you,’” Guerrero said. “In those moments of hell ... I thought, ‘If I die, who will find [Briana]. I was her protector, but I couldn’t even take that first bullet. Erick Maya didn’t let me.”

Maya sat dry-eyed and stared down throughout Monday’s court proceedings.

Valle’s relatives left the courtroom when he made a statement to the court proclaiming his innocence.

“I’m a wrongfully convicted man who ... will spend the rest of my life in a cage for something I didn’t do,” Maya said. “No one can identify me at the crime scene because I

wasn’t there.”

Maya said police “corrupted” the investigation by focusing on him when other suspects had been in the neighborhood.

But the judge said the police work presented in the case against Maya was some of the most efficient he’d ever seen.

Livas also praised Valle’s parents for “doing everything right” to keep her away from a sexual predator.

“And the family has every right to look at me [and the system] and say ‘We did everything right and our daughter is still dead,’” Livas said.

One of the reasons people are allowed to do this is because it’s the way it’s been and some of these people have phone numbers in the phone book and don’t want some person who disagrees with him calling him up and bothering him at home.

again so I’m out there again. It gets to a point it’s ridiculous. I agree they should find another way of celebrating without TP-ing the trees and making a mess for people, and especially for the senior citizens that have got to go out there and clean it up.

of working within its means.

There’s no need for careful planning or fiscal responsibility if there is a bottomless pit. Voters should reject this time around and request a “clean” referendum just for the corner lot.

Sump pump support wanted in La Grange

Kudos to Park District The District 86 School Board for inexpensive programs should stand up to the greedy

This week I had a plumber repair a part of my sump pump. I asked him if he thinks property owners should be responsible for flooding at their property.

The plumber lives in Lombard and said that the Village of Lombard gives property owners to install sump pump like systems financial compensation. Perhaps this is a method the Village of La Grange needs to consider.

I would like to give kudos to the Westmont Park District and Gregg House Museum for sponsoring free or low-cost activities for children and families in the area, like the kite fly, the Sidewalk Chalk Art and the Last Straw event. Keep up the good work. My grandson and I have enjoyed many of these activities.

Wipe out toilet papering

The Butterfield Park District referendum sounds like a boy band. The corner lot is the main singer; the lighting, playground, baseball fields, etc., are the sidekicks to reach a wider net of fans – I mean voter base.

Actually, in this context, this is known as port, often used in political wrangling to win votes at the expense of taxpayers.

People should question why Butterfield needs to ask for more money for these normal, ongoing expenses instead

No names for Sound Off As far as attaching names to Sound Off comments, I’m glad you do not. It gives the average citizen, without any retaliation from anybody else, to sound off. We have enough road rage – we don’t need Sound Off rage. All it takes is some person of not stable mentality to see somebody’s name in there and want to retaliate against them.

It’s enough we have that with people who are racist and political views. We don’t need any type of Sound Off rage. Thank you, Sound Off, for not printing names.

Drawing support for no names in Sound Off This is for “Attach names to Sound Off.” And this is for the visitor of the Chicago area and it also is to the last person I had read complaining they don’t sign it. … To both of you, go back to Chicago.

Maybe you can get the graffiti artists to sign their graffiti all over the place. And to the other person, yeah, go back to the other town where you came from if it’s so wonderful.

I’m a senior citizen and I was reading in the Sound Off pertaining to this one article, “Clean it up.” I think it’s a very good article because I was going to even call Village Hall about it. Kids TP-ing the trees for their wins and all that. I know it’s no big harm done.

But like I said, I’m 71 years old, and I’m cleaning up toilet paper in the front yard and the backyard one night. And then the following night, they did it

Voters need to reject Butterfield referendum

D-86 should take a stand against teacher union teacher union, despite the big theatrics they produce. There is a very loud minority that likes jacking up people’s taxes to buy education for their kids.

Yuppie parents would sing a different tune when it comes to teacher pay if they had to pay for it themselves. If we have to have socialized [kindergarten] through 12 education, we should have a just progressive tax on income to fund schools instead of an unjust regressive tax on housing. Until that day comes, it is imperative the school board stand strong for the beleaguered taxpayer. Springfield has been planning to reduce state aid to our district. They also have been scheming to shift the burden of paying giant teacher pensions onto homeowners. The consequences of overpaying teachers are becoming even more dire.

Team Teacher is about give me more, more, more. Our school board should not be on that team.

Guerrero, her father Alejandro Valle and younger brother Jesse Valle all agreed a void has been left in their lives by Briana’s murder. “I have no one to talk to anymore. I feel so alone,�

Jesse Valle wrote to describe the impact of Maya’s crime. “I feel like, what is the point in life now?�

Livas said he hoped Valle’s relatives will live instead of merely exist to keep Maya from accomplishing the destruction of her family as he’d wanted. “For two weeks of the trial, I had to look at the defendant walk in the door with that idiotic smirk on his face, as if he was proud of something he did,� Livas said. “When there was testimony about the list of firsts he sent her, I had to make sure the jury didn’t see my revulsion when he laughed at, ‘I was your first order of protection.’ I’ve seen some cretinous things crawl into my courtroom, but [Maya’s] at the top,� Livas said.

Livas said while he was aware of legal sentences, he speculated “true justice� would be putting Maya alone in a room with Valle’s father.

Livas said he expected Maya would deny his crime

up to the end but doubts he’s able to “con adults as easily as 15-year-old girls.�

Livas noted Maya requested a new trial saying his sanity had never been examined and that he’d been hospitalized with mental disorders as a teenager. But Livas noted Maya had denied any diagnoses in his sentencing interviews, which were reviewed in court Monday morning. “At which point was he lying?� Livas asked.

Livas scoffed at Maya’s claims he wasn’t at the crime scene when police found the Cicero man hiding under a porch a block away after surrounding the neighborhood. “Did he take a taxi out to his favorite camping spot in 10 degree weather under someone else’s porch?� Livas said.

Livas said Maya had shown no mercy to the Valles and should expect none. “If you really want to punish someone, you take away their hope,� Livas said. “People tell themselves, ‘Tomorrow will be better.’ But today will be the same as yesterday and tomorrow [in prison],� Livas said. “It’s worse than death. It goes on and on.�

Maya was sentenced to 72 years in prison for Valle’s murder, a consecutive 39-yearsentence for the attempted murder of Guerrero and another 11 years for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

Restaurant reviews

Citrus Diner squeezes flavor into breakfast, lunch WESTMONT – Gracing the corner of a brick shopping center, just off Ogden Avenue and Pasquinelli Drive, sits Citrus Diner, where a fresh and filling feast awaits.

The diner, which a veteran restaurateur opened in May, has bright white walls decorated with art and festive sayings celebrating healthful ingredients and lifestyles.

Once we settled in our window-seat booth, the staff eagerly helped begin our experience at Citrus Diner, which serves breakfast and lunch until 2:30 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

Given its name, I knew the restaurant’s orange juice had to be worth tasting – an assumption I’m glad I made.

Once we’d settled on drink orders, my companion and I began tackling the toughest decision of the afternoon – what to order.

When the menu items’ descriptions synched up with our grumbling bellies, my fellow diner and I easily zeroed in on our lunches. To begin, we ordered a side of the restaurant’s homemade potato and sweet potato chips.

It’s a delicious choice best to share to avoid spoiling your appetite.

For my main course, I chose the Tucson Toss – one of Citrus Diner’s many leafy green dishes. The salad was prepared with mixed lettuces and mesclun, Cajun chicken breast, avocado, corn, tomato, and cheddar and Jack cheese along with tortilla strips.

Typically, the combined ingredients would have been tossed in ranch dressing, but for my taste buds, I ordered the spicy Cancun dressing on the side, which provided a very tasty kick.

And while the restaurant serves a plethora of breakfast items, it was the sandwiches that caught the eye of my companion, who opted for the burrito club. The deftly layered concoction includes smoked turkey, bacon, sliced avocado, tomato, and Jack and cheddar cheese with mixed greens.

LEMONT n CLASS: 4A n REGIONAL: Lemont n SECTIONAL: Mother McAuley n SEED: No. 9 n FIRST MATCH: 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday vs Downers Grove South n OUTLOOK: Despite dealing with injuries and illnesses that set them back a bit, the Indians have still had another successful campaign and their win total reached 19 after Monday’s victory against Lincoln-Way West.

“We hit a snag about four weeks ago,” coach Chris Zogata said. “But we are recovering

from that and since that period we have gone 6-3, finishing 12th at the Glenbard East tournament against some tough competition. We are improving everyday and will be heading into the playoffs with more confidence.”

Lemont is in a very challenging sectional but will at least play on its home floor at the start, as the Indians are hosting one of the four regionals. The squad opens the postseason against eighth-seeded Downers Grove South and the winner gets top-seed Mother McAuley, which is ranked No. 1 in the state.

LMR

NEW LENOX – In their second to last regular season match Monday, the Lemont girls volleyball team finally saw results in something the Indians have tried to fix all fall – they rallied for a comeback victory.

Overcoming a couple of game points in the opener, Lemont went on to defeat Lincoln-Way West 27-25, 25-18 in the nonconference affair.

Similar to many teams, the Indians have had trouble focusing on the individual points, instead focusing on how far behind they were. The team has worked hard to fix that, according to libero Haley Sullivan and outside/rightside hitter Ali Lund. And that showed on Monday as Lemont came back from a 24-21 deficit in game one.

“They were winning by a lot and we told each other to get the momentum back,” Lund said. “When we get the momentum back, we just start going and finish it off strong.”

In the few matches left in the season, the Indians want to make sure they are playing consistent volleyball through each game and do not put themselves in difficult situations.

“We usually dig ourselves [into] holes,” Lund said. “We have to not dig holes more and not play catch-up. We have to start off strong. When we have the momentum, we are good.”

Lund and Sullivan, who ended the night with five kills and 15 digs, respectively, want the team to have as much momentum as possible for the rest of the season. It is their last few games playing volleyball as Indians.

“We knew we wanted to have fun, “ Sullivan said. “We knew that this was one of our last few games for our seniors, so we wanted to have fun with it.”

Jessica Mathias contributed seven kills, Olivia Whittingham five kills, Shae Millinowisch had 13 assists, and Natalie Schwem had 12 assists for Lemont.

CHICAGO – Scott Darling, who attended Lemont High School for a short time, realized a dream on Tuesday when he was called up by the Chicago Blackhawks.

The goaltender served as the backup for Antti Raanta against the Philadelphia Flyers after starter Corey Crawford was ruled out due to an upper body injury.

Darling has spent the first portion of the season with the Rockford Ice Hogs of the AHL, registering two starts.

He notched victories in both games after making a combined 55 saves.

He ended last season as a member of the Milwaukee Admirals before signing with the Blackhawks as a free agent in the offseason.

in Chicago.

He also has been pretty good at creating off-the-field distractions so far this season while his reception and yardage production are well off prior seasons.

Marshall is no longer a Denver Bronco because they didn’t want him in their locker room anymore, and he’s no longer a Dolphin because they didn’t want him in their locker room anymore either.

So do we just wait for the storm clouds to dump all over us?

Asked if he thought it was a good thing for Marshall to be making all the noise, Willie Young, who just happens to be one of the few Bears with a right to scream, said “Everyone handles

IT’S ALL ABOUT DRIVE

“Everyone handles situations differently.

I’ve been around guys that are very passionate about the game.

I’ve been around the guys who won’t say one word after a win or after a loss.

Everyone handles it differently.

situations differently. I’ve been around guys that are very passionate about the game. I’ve been around the guys who won’t say one word after a win or after a loss. Everyone handles it differently. And everyone’s entitled to their opinion.”

Fair enough. Asked almost the same question, Marc Trestman responded, “I told our team after the game in the locker room, just as

I’m telling you, we have to always be accepting of how people express themselves after a game because they’re coming down from a week of working hard and building their emotions and passions for the game and I’m not reading anymore into it than that, and we have to be accepting and nonjudgmental and let it pass.”

Here, I beg to differ. It’s the head coach’s job and responsibility to make sure he and his team don’t suffocate with their heads stuck in the sand, ignoring over-the-top behavior from a player with a track record of it.

Maybe the boss is on top of it and just telling us what he thinks he has to, protecting his troops while he handles it behind closed doors.

Maybe this is just the new Marshall and there’s nothing to worry about.

Still, it’s hard not to wonder if the Jets could use another receiver.

quantity of shouting that went on in the Bears’ locker room.

That said, I completely agree with Gould that the emotion and raised voices are most likely much ado about nothing. The fellas were chapped and needed to let off a little steam.

I get it, and you all should, too. There is no revolution or dissension brewing in the Bears’ locker room, and this is clearly not a team splitting at the seams.

These Bears just need to play better football and maybe give the ball to Matt Forte more than twice per half.

What surprises me is how everybody’s missing the real issue and the bigger question: Can it really be a good thing for the Bears that it appears to be Marshall making most of the noise?

Let’s discuss a couple of facts. Marshall has done a nice job of reinventing himself and avoiding off-thefield problems since arriving

LEM • Friday, October 24, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

After basically being silent on the football field for 60 minutes against the Dolphins on Sunday, a few of the boys on the Bears made some noise in the locker room afterward.

Actually, I was there in the middle of the media melee with everyone trying to get the scoop on why all the drama happened between teammates and friends in their club-sponsored man cave.

Clearly, there was some shouting, and as soon as that happens in an NFL locker room, inquiring minds want to know why.

Robbie Gould has been heavily rumored to be the target of some of the shouting, allegedly coming from Brandon Marshall. But Gould told Patrick Mannelly and Matt Spiegel on 670 The Score on Monday morning, “To be honest with you, it was just a matter of people trying to find a story, make a story because we lost.”

Not true, Robbie. I spend every Sunday and a whole bunch of my Mondays and Thursdays around NFL locker rooms, and it is extremely rare for the media waiting outside for postgame entry to hear either the level or
