Westmont AP Human Geography teacher Peter Landreth discusses Italian music Tuesday during class. Westmont High recently reported the best AP performance in its history for the 2013-14 school year.

“We want our students to believe that they can accomplish anything. Even if they struggle and don’t pass the national exam, they will have been exposed to a level of rigor that will prepare them for success at the collegiate level.” Principal

School reported the most improved advanced placement program in the state. The number of passed AP exams from Westmont High School students increased from 29 in 2013 to 141 in 2014, a 386 percent increase. Additionally, the number of AP scholars rose from three to 16 in one year’s time, a staggering shift considering the school previously never had

more than five AP scholars in a given year. Baldermann said that while taking and passing advanced placement tests is not imperative precursor to collegiate success, it is important to challenge students and instill a sense of belief. “We want our students to believe that they can accomplish anything,” he said. “Even if they struggle and

Recently, the high school and the other district buildings introduced kindergarten

through 12th-grade summer school, which paid dividends on the high school level, Baldermann said. “So how did this happen? Because we adopted a whatever it takes philosophy,” Baldermann said. “We focused on learning for all, we built SMART goals, and we received the necessary resources from the district and the community, and I think we were tenacious about implementing everything.”

WESTMONT – Community Unit School District 201 officials attest a commitment to all students is helping close the educational gap and improving the graduation rate and test scores. Principal Jack Baldermann recently announced that not only is Westmont High School the most improved high school in 2014 in Illinois, but one of the most improved and top performing high schools in the country for the past school year. “I am extremely proud of the hard work put in by all the students, parents, teachers and administrators,” Baldermann said during a CUSD 201 board meeting. “I don’t know if there is anything more meaningful than being part of a team that accomplishes something that’s powerful and positive for others – and that’s what we’ve all done together.” The high school officially reported a 99 percent graduation rate, the highest in school history, according to Baldermann, and placing Westmont high in the top 1 percent in the country. During 2013-14 school year, there were no dropouts in the senior class and the one student who did not graduate is continuing his education, Baldermann said. “That high of a graduation rate is unheard of anywhere, especially a Title 1 school,” he said. “I attribute that to not only the support of board and the community, but the true commitment among all our professionals that every student is sacred.” In addition to the increased graduation rate, Baldermann revealed Westmont High

Village eyes new buildings, more development By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A two-phase plan that would move the Downers Grove police department, fleet management and Firehouse No. 1 to new facilities on Ogden Avenue, build a new Village Hall downtown and incorporate private redevelopment at both locations appears to be the preferred course for the majority of village commissioners following a Sept. 9 meeting. The plan was met with skepticism from several Downers Grove residents who spoke at the meeting, along with general inquisitiveness from others, and concern with tax dollars that would be needed to do the work. The planning meeting is the latest in a series to explore upgrading or building a new village hall and police department. Village officials say both buildings have outlived their useful life, are in need of new roofs, HVAC systems and other upgrades and do not meet the needs of village staff. The police department is described as too small, with inadequate storage space, along with a lack of private meeting areas to conduct sensitive interviews with witnesses and suspects. Officials say Village Hall is too large and creates operational inefficiencies. They are “in need of substantial maintenance and improvement just to keep both buildings operational,” Assistant Village Manager Mike Baker said. “They don’t quite fit the way we function as an organization at this time.” Mayor Martin Tully and others who spoke at the meeting identified the current

Possible plans for new Village Hall, police station Officials say both buildings are out of date and inadequate – the police station is too small and Village Hall is too large. All dollar figures are in millions. Revenues refer to existing or projected revenues that could be used for the project without using new tax dollars. 1.

Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation Board member Don Jankowski said the committee believes upscale, transit-orientated, multifamily housing mixed with commercial would be the best use for the site. “This would be a very hot property for those types of developers,” he said. It would “attract millennials and other young professionals that are in demand by corporate headquarters and other tech-driven businesses.” The facilities that would move to Ogden Avenue and Lacey Road would sit on the rear of an undeveloped property, with commercial development on the front of the lot,

Throughout the meeting,

Tully used an airplane metaphor to describe the discussion as looking at the options from 35,000-feet in the air, reiterating to residents that current talk was exploratory and intended to give direction to staff to report back with further details. “It would be very easy to call this whole project ‘new village hall,’” Tully said. “This has very little to do with Village Hall and much, much more to do with a series of opportunities to solve a series of nagging problems that have challenged this community for decades.” All commissioners who spoke at the meeting preferred the two-phase “option 4,” with the exception of Commissioner David Olsen, who preferred upgrading and keeping the current buildings, referred to as “option 1.”

“The $14-22 million gap between the funding available and the cost of [option 4] is something that scares me,” he said. “It scares me as a representative of the residents in this community, and it scares me as a tax payer.” Residents in opposition to the plan largely cited unease with any increase in taxes it could take to complete the project. “Option 1 is most desirable to me for many reasons,” said resident and Downers Grove Township Clerk Laura Hois. “I’ve talked to people doorto-door for a long time, and I hear people saying they need to move away because their taxes are getting too high and they can’t stay in their home.” One resident said moving the police station from the center of town to the northwest would make it less accessible to residents. “If I live on the south side of town, I don’t want to go all the up there,” resident Mike Hahn said. “That’s absurd.”

WESTMONT – The village has installed a Sharps kiosk in the lobby of the Westmont Police Department, 500 N. Cass Ave. Residents can access the kiosk from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to safely drop off unwanted or used needles. Every day, millions of people across the country self-inject their medications, but they don’t always dispose of used sharps, syringes and lancets properly. To combat this, disposal regulation laws are now in place in a growing number of states, according to a village news release. The village of Westmont has partnered with Waste Management to enact the sharps disposal initiative. For information or to obtain a personal sharps container, call Deputy Chief Ross Brenza at 630-981-6323.

Bernie Steiger (second from right), executive director of Literacy DuPage, stands Sept. 8 with Westmont Public Library staff members Carmen Higgins (from left), Julia Coen and Kate Buckson on International Literacy Day.

Thumbs up to the Westmont Public Library and Literacy DuPage for kicking off Literacy Awareness Month on Sept. 8. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Literacy DuPage Executive Director Bernie Steiger staffed the table at the Westmont Public Library, speaking with patrons, accepting donations and signing up volunteers to help tutor. Going forward, Westmont and the southeast corridor of DuPage County will be the focus of the group’s strategic plan that includes targeting area residents to increase awareness of offered services, recruiting additional volunteer tutors and engaging local civic, women’s and faith-based organizations. Thumbs up to Downers Grove native Mike Sale for using his Frisbee skills to raise money and awareness for the victims of The University of California, Santa Barbara shooting last spring. To do so, Sale traveled Friday to the Blockhouse Disc Golf and Country Club in Spotsylvania, Va., attempting to set the Guinness Book of World Records title for most disc golf holes played in 24 hours, which currently stands at 1,929. Between a crowdfunding site, private donations and the sponsorships, he has raised more than $2,000, and money continues to trickle in. Alex Soulier, news editor asoulier@shawmedia.com 630-427-6247

Election talk

Property tax payers living in Carol Stream have a choice for DuPage County Clerk this November. First there is Paul Hinds, who is a career politician, government worker and has served for years under County Clerk Gary King, who steps down this year. Hinds oversees the calculation of property taxes. Voting for Hinds is just like voting for King. He’s been a loyal political supporter of King for years. The other choice on the ballot for County Clerk is a 10-year government watchdog and firsttime candidate, Jean Kaczmarek. As a citizen, Kaczmarek has had a positive impact on DuPage County. She objects to the clerk’s salary – by far the highest in the state for this position – for the least amount of responsibility. Check them both out. Choose well this November.

Bicyclists should know, follow rules of the road

I am calling regarding bike riders. I think they should learn how to obey traffic signals and to obey when cars are already turning. Someone again got hit on Berkley Avenue off the Prairie Path [in Elmhurst] because the driver was turning and the guy on the bike path cut him off and got hit. They’re supposed to be as courteous as drivers are. I whole-heartedly don’t understand why us drivers have to stop because they’re going over the Prairie Path. I too am a bicyclist and I am very courteous. The bikers need to watch how they ride.

In response to the question asking how hair stylists should be tipped: It depends on the cost of the service. I charge $70 for a woman’s haircut; if I repeatedly received a measly $5 tip, I would absolutely not continue giving them exceptional service (like fitting them into a tight schedule during the holidays). Hair stylists should be tipped according to their prices, it should be at least 18 to 20 percent gratuity for good service. The stylist’s prices are generally based on skill level and their education. Just remember when you tip well, your stylist will bend over backwards for you.

By Audrey G. Freeman, Au.D. – Dr. of Audiology When many people think of a hearing aid, they think of the ones from years ago like your grandmother may have worn. It was big and bulky with wires and cords. She may have likely complained of how terrible it sounded and turned it off often. Luckily, like all fields of electronics, hearing aids have come a long way. Many are much smaller, lighter, and more comfortable. About six years ago when I lost the hearing in my right ear, hearing aid styles had begun to change. I wear a small, lightweight device that helps me hear the high frequency sounds I miss in conversations. Since that time, not only have they improved how the hearing aid performs in restaurants and crowds; but they have also added a water and dust resistant coating. My favorite advancement is the way my

hearing device connects to wireless devices (no cords needed). The wireless accessories can now connect to all different sizes and shapes of hearing aids. My patients and I are able to receive a signal wirelessly from cell phones and music MP3 devices. There is also a wireless transmitter for the television. My husband, who is co-owner of our business and also a hearing aid user, enjoys the television streamer. He not only can hear the television as if he was wearing a headset connected to it, but he can also hear others talk in the room. If I’m not interested in what he is watching, I am able to turn the television sound way down; and he can still hear it. This has been a benefit for both of us.

er’s voice right into my hearing aid. Best of all, that same microphone can be plugged into my MP3 player, computer, or tablet device. It can send the sound directly to my hearing aid, so I can hear my music or videos without taking out my hearing aid to put in ear buds or disturbing others with the sound.

My hearing aid is definitely not my grandmother’s hearing aid, and yours need not be either. Contact your trusted audiologist to My favorite new device is a small check out these new microphone that can be used to give and much improved to others at a meeting or at the end devices. of a long table to send the speak-

Nearby school takes part in Knees for Life campaign SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA HINSDALE – Hinsdale Central boy’s varsity soccer coach Mike Wiggins knows that preventing injuries is one of the keys to a successful season. As a result, he recently had many of his players undergo a screening to determine if they were at risk for one of the most common soccer injuries, anterior cruciate ligament tears, a painful and debilitating injury that can sideline a player for the season and cause additional problems later in life. On Sept. 3, varsity soccer players Jake Semba, Michael

Zervogiannis, Evan Floersch, Justin Yi, Jim Walker, Wes Bergevin and Jack Baderman underwent the screenings, which consisted of jogging, lunging, jumping and completing other drills administered by Hinsdale Central athletic trainer Jessica Gruca of Accelerated Physical Therapy. After the drills, Gruca also talked to the players about ways to strengthen their knees to lower their risk of tearing an ACL.

By Stephanie Kohl What is the Called and Gifted Program? Peggy O’Flaherty, SMG parishioner, school parent and Creating Space founder, spiritual director, speaker and writer: Pope Francis calls the world “to be true disciples.” As disciples, we embrace Christ’s love, and form ourselves through prayer and study, but our discipleship must be pointed outward. The Catherine of Siena Institute created the Called and Gifted workshops as a practical way to show us “how” to point our unique gifts out into the world. During our sacrament of baptism, we receive gifts from the Holy Spirit that are intended to be shared with others. In sharing such gifts (mercy, service, hospitality, knowledge, teaching, leadership, intercessory prayer, etc.), we become a channel of God’s love.

Why does St. Mary of Gostyn offer this program? O’Flaherty: This past spring, St. Mary of Gostyn adopted a spirit of ordinary people doing extraordinary things for the Kingdom of God. Our Pastor,

Father Ernie Norbeck, recognized by fostering spiritual gifts of each individual, they grow stronger in their faith, which in turn renews them to go into the community with more vigor and understanding of God’s love. Our parish is deeply rooted in our Christian values of evangelization, charity and discipleship and thus initiatives stem from those values. What will people learn from this program? O’Flaherty: 118 individuals attended the Called and Gifted Workshop in July. Eighty-six percent continued on to discern how those gifts are present in their life and how God is uniquely calling them to grow in community. That same eighty-six percent continued discernment within small Christian communities to explore how spiritual gifts differ from natural talents and how multiple charisms are used in unison. SMG is seeing the ripple effect. When individuals experience God’s loving presence, they are more fully equipped to answer Pope Francis’ call and bring more love into the world.

NEWS BRIEF Fire department open house is Oct. 1

–Suburban Life Media

“They are the facts,” Wehrli said. Commissioner Tim Whelan voted for the hire, but said he was “somewhat concerned” with the process and called for a more systematic approach for reporting expectations to staff. “I don’t want to see a repeat of that,” he said. “I think we have to have better communication than we did previously.” He went on to say he appreciated Cantore’s suggestion of Lapinski for the position, calling the new director a “great administrator.” The hiring was complicated last week by a scuttled vote during a board meeting. The Open Meetings Act requires any compensation package worth $150,000 or more – including Lapinski’s three-year, $160,000 annual contract –

must be posted online with advanced notice before approval. DuPage County Clerk Democratic candidate Jean Kaczmarek spoke up at the meeting, arguing not enough notice was given. The board decided to table to motion to ensure its legality. Commissioner Linda Painter said she spoke to a number of colleagues and residents who gave the new director outstanding recommendations. “I did my due diligence,” she said. “I’m looking very forward to working with him.” Biondo’s last day was Sept. 2. Deputy Director of Operations Mike Palazzitti and Deputy Director of Natural Resources Bob Vick will handle the duties of the executive director until Lapinski begins Oct. 1.

do not know, then, what each person is looking for in an executive, we do not know what each person brings to the table.” Wehrli said Biondo was “shabbily treated” and she was “blindsided” by the recent events. She said the board’s decision not to formally and publicly vote on the take-it-orleave-it proposal for Biondo also was concerning. Wehrli ultimately cast the lone vote against installing Lapinski to the position, saying to do so was an “insult to the process.” “Just because something is a done deal doesn’t mean an individual shouldn’t stand up for what’s right,” she said. District President D. “Dewey” Pierotti said her comments reflected an opinion and “not necessarily the facts.”

WHEATON – After a roller coaster few weeks, the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has officially hired its new executive director. Before the Board of Commissioners’ 6-1 vote Sept. 9 to install John J. Lapinski, court administrator for the Office of the Chief Judge of the 18th Judicial Court, to the position, two commissioners expressed discontent with how he was chosen. “It’s not just about bringing in someone at the top,” commissioner Mary Lou Wehrli said. “It’s about how we as a board treat each other, how we communicate, how our executive communicates with the staff and how the staff perceives our leadership and how

the community perceives our leadership. I think this last example of it is poor.” Lapinski was selected as executive director the same day former executive director Arnie Biondo opted to retire rather than face termination without cause. Commissioner Joseph Cantore, who is running unopposed for the district presidency, suggested Lapinski for the job. Wehrli said while many commissioners – including herself – agreed to one-on-one interviews with Lapinski, the board never cohesively discussed the candidate or process. “I met with him, and think he has a high skill set,” she said. “But one-on-one interviews do not benefit the whole. I don’t know what each person is looking for as a whole, as we

(BPT) - There still is time to complete your unfinished outdoor projects. Sixty percent of homeowners will accomplish a home improvement project this year, according to survey data from the Zillow Digs Summer Home Improvement Trend and Spending Survey. Follow these tips to make your home’s exterior shine. * Smooth over concrete surfaces. In order to prevent trips or falls, now is a good time to fix and patch those cracks in the driveway or garage. Be sure to fix them now before they get larger and you could incur larger repair costs. It will also help prevent any future accidents. Small cracks can be fixed with concrete caulk while large cracks require a patch. Make sure to clean out the crack before applying either of these substances. * Repaint the deck. Improving your deck, patio or porch is the seventh most popular home improvement project according to RE/MAX and it’s easy to see why. When you picture yourself outside, you probably picture yourself sitting on the deck. So, make your deck stand out with a fresh coat of paint. “Decorating outside of your home is now all the rage,” says Matthew Mead, author of Backyard Style. “Your deck needn’t be brown and sullen. Infuse your backyard space by selecting whatever color you want and spray the floor of your deck with the Wagner Flexio 890. Your deck will be the toast of the neighborhood.” * Give your old patio furniture a new look. If you’re going to reinvent your deck, why stop there? Why not refresh your patio furniture to complement your deck’s new color, too? “Revive any outdoor furniture with an easy spray using the Wagner Flexio 890,” says Mead. “With a simple coat of paint you can transform tables, chairs, and anything wicker in any hue or shade you desire. In my new book Backyard Style, I show how to take simple flea-market finds and, with some paint and very little effort, transform them into show-stopping decorative accessories.” * Caulk around windows and any exterior joints, including doors. Many people think of this as a preventative project for winter, but a fresh application of caulk will protect cool air conditioning from escaping when you need it most. * Make your home’s exterior sparkle. If your home suffered any damage during the winter, now is the perfect time for repairs that will make your home look great again. Walk around your home and look for damaged or missing siding. Replace these pieces and then use a pressure washer to clean and wash away excess dirt and grime. Using a special detergent appropriate for cleaning your home will give you better results. Once you’re done with the siding, don’t forget to grab the window cleaner and make those windows sparkle. Each of these projects can return between 67 and 112 percent of their value to your home, according to DiGiorgi Roofing and Siding, not to mention the added joy you’ll receive from these home improvements. So get out there and get to work. The sooner you finish your project, the sooner you’ll be able to enjoy the rest of the year in style.

Restaurant reviews

The Bank Restaurant capitalizes on fresh fare WHEATON – When dining at a fine restaurant, the thoughtful pairing of wine and entree may be a given, but patrons at The Bank Restaurant in Wheaton reap added dividends with delicious fare sourced in a socially responsible manner. Housed in an 1875 building that was once the original location of Gary-Wheaton Bank, the aptly named restaurant offers American-style food with a decidedly local slant – prepared with meats and produce from the region’s farms and ranches. Although outdoor seating is available, my dinner companions and I sat in the main dining room, an intimate setting with tin-tiled ceiling, muted lighting and dark wood trim. Live flamenco guitar softly played in the background; musical acts are a fixture on Friday and Saturday evenings. Our waitress, friendly and attentive, brought us a loaf of crusty bread served with a chipotle-honey butter that was creamy and savory. My dining companions typically stay away from shellfish, but couldn’t resist sharing the Mussel Zuppa appetizer consisting of fresh Cape Cod mussels stewed with sliced celery, carrots, bamboo shoots and snow peas in a house marinara sauce, served with lemon wedges and grilled croutons. The winning dish drew the duo, figuratively speaking, out of their shells. The mussels were tender, and the marinara sauce was thick, rich and had a slight kick to it. I ordered the Hawaiian-style Arctic char, noted in the menu as a sustainable best choice in the salmon family, with mashed Hawaiian purple sweet potatoes. The fish had a sesame soy glaze, and was topped with thinly sliced cucumber, red bell pepper and onion. It was not only visually appealing, but a delicious blend of flavors and textures with each bite. One of my companions is

Passion for the game Mott-Larson leaves it on the field for Westmont football By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Even a bit of physical fitness doesn’t fully explain Marcus Mott-Larson’s development on offense. The Westmont football senior has always been a threat on defense, but now he’s a force on offense for the Sentinels. A two-way lineman last year, Mott-Larson is playing defensive end and receiver

this season. “Last year, they had me playing a little bit of guard and tackle, then I started losing weight, and I tried to prove a point that I could play receiver because I have the height and size,” Mott-Larson said. “I started running a lot and losing weight, and they gave me a shot.” So far, the results have been good on the offensive side of the ball. In addition to

an 80-yard touchdown reception against Plano in Week 2, Mott-Larson has been an instrumental part of the ground game. “Being able to block DBs, it helps out a lot,” he said. “Give Quintin [Brown] the ball and I can block for him. Like we told him, ‘Just find No. 7.’ I take pride in that.” Working on route running and catching passes is key to a receiver’s development, but

Mott-Larson points to another attribute that has made him successful on offense this season. “You got to believe. You got to have that fight to want to do well,” he said. “It’s all about passion for the game, just playing your best, giving your best effort and doing whatever is best for the team.” Despite a strong effort from Mott-Larson and the rest of the Sentinels, they lost 36-20 against host Herscher on Friday. Westmont scored late in the first half to make it a 14-14

game and took a 20-14 lead on Kyle Domin’s 14-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, but Herscher surged back to earn the win. With a rivalry game against Lisle looming next, Mott-Larson said there are some positives Westmont can take away from Friday night’s loss. “What we can take is we did a lot better defensively in the first half tackling-wise,” Mott-Larson said. “Now we just have to pick that up for the whole game. I think we can do that.”

Downers Grove South struggles against AT

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY

Area teams eye state meet By JASON ROSSI

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

jrossi@shawmedia.com

DOWNERS GROVE – When Ryan Taylor ran for 12 yards combined on back-to-back plays and put Downers Grove South’s football team on the Addison Trail 11-yard line, it seemed good things were in store for the home team. But a loss of 9 yards on third-and-9 and a missed field goal seemed to sap any momentum from the Mustangs for the game as they lost to the Blazers 21-0. “They executed and we didn’t, so they get all the credit and we do not,” Downers Grove South head coach Mark Molinari said. The Blazers’ defense had four sacks and recovered three fumbles, and the offense worked quickly and efficiently in the shutout win. It was the first time South was shut out at home in a conference game since 2006. AT, which improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the West Suburban Gold, got on the board on quarterback Mike Rybarczyk’s 84-yard run midway through the first quarter. After Rybarczyk and Jake Atiyeh hooked up on a 7-yard score late in the first quarter, the Blazers had two touchdowns before the Mustangs (1-2, 0-1) earned a first down. A 15-yard strike from Rybarczyk to Jaavion Bradley late in the second quarter put AT ahead 21-0. The Blazers had 136 rushing yards by halftime while South mustered 32 yards on the ground. “We knew they were going to run the ball, and they probably caught us in a bad defense on that long touchdown,” Molinari said. “We just had a couple miscommunications that just can’t happen, a couple guys not communicating what we’re playing.” After a thrilling overtime win against Proviso West in Week 2, the Mustangs seemed poised for a breakout game, but the offense struggled to get going against a tough AT defense. “We can’t run the ball and we’re struggling on offense” Molinari said. “It just seems like we’re having a hard time

Outside of that trio, the Sentinels skew young, and they are looking for a No. 1 runner to emerge. “Our top runners keep changing,” head coach Steve Wolf said. “The Peoria Woodruff Invitational [on Saturday] told us a lot about our team. We don’t have that outstanding front-runner but are more of a pack team.” A large freshman class is gaining varsity experience. Two of the newcomers, Emilia Maslany and Lisa Niemiec, were the top two finishers for the Sentinels at the Peoria Woodruff Invite. Ashley Eiermann and Peyton Nash also are freshmen on the varsity.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

By SCOTT SCHMID

RYAN TAYLOR Downers Grove South Senior | Football Why Taylor was selected: Taylor led the Mustangs with 46 yards rushing in Friday’s game against Addison Trail On a night where not much was working for Downers Grove South’s football team, Ryan Taylor was the exception. The running back was the workhorse on offense, gaining a team-high 46 yards. After missing last football season with a broken leg, Taylor, the Sears Hardware & Appliance Athlete of the Week, is back in full force. He spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about the Mustangs’ strengths and being a standout player in both baseball and football.

Rossi: What do you think the team has done well this season? Taylor: I’d say it’s definitely

been our defense. Our defense

Rossi: You also are well known as a baseball player. Do you like one sport better? Taylor: I love the feeling of

being on the field. I love both and I’m just enjoying being out here my senior year. But I feel I have a better shot of playing baseball at the next level, so I’ll probably go to college for baseball.

Rossi: Can the team turn things around from its 1-2 start? Taylor: They did it in 2001

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

GLEN ELLYN – For a ball-control offensive team like Downers Grove North, an early deficit can prove to be too much to overcome. Especially when the opponent is Glenbard West. Finding themselves down 14-0 less than 10 minutes into Saturday’s West Suburban Silver conference opener, the Trojans went on to drop a 38-0 decision against the Hilltoppers. Afterward the game, DGN coach John Wander summed it up succinctly. “We just got beat,” said Wander of his team, which also got shut out in Week 2 against Hinsdale South. A big part of the problem turned out to be Glenbard West running back Sam Brodner, who eclipsed 200 yards rushing on the day while scoring a pair of first quarter touchdowns. “We watched him on film and knew he was good,” Wander said. “He is a tough, put together kid. I’m really impressed with him.”

Offensively, the Trojans struggled to sustain drives, crossing midfield just once in the opening half. They did have a 16-play drive that ended with a turnover on downs. “We actually tried some unbalanced formations and we got some things early on,” the coach said. “But they don’t give up a lot of points.

CHICAGO FOOTBALL.COM Hub Arkush will the NFL survive, it will continue to be the most popular sport in America and a goldmine for those who own it, coach it and play it. There are 1,696 players on NFL rosters right now, another 320 on practice squads and about 200 more on various injured reserve and other lists. Rice, Hardy, McDonald and Peterson represent exactly two-tenths of 1 percent of that group. The 39 players who began the season on suspension for failed tests for banned substances or violations of the league’s personal conduct code represent 1.8 percent of the players in the league. I can’t prove it, but I’m betting if you took 2,216 random citizens from anywhere in the country you’d find more than twotenths of 1 percent who’d committed serious crimes, and a lot more than 1.8 percent who’ve experimented

with drugs. When it comes to these types of issues, we tend to have very short memories. Watching the NFL’s various pregame shows this past Sunday, I was struck by who the commentators among the former players were. What do Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp, Cris Carter, Keyshawn Johnson and Ray Lewis, to name just a few, all have in common? A lot worse than sex, drugs and rock and roll, and they are the networks’ choices to be the faces of the game. Everything is going to be just fine, but some things are definitely going to have to change. For starters, Rice’s

former teammates have to stop making things worse. Immediately following the Ravens’ 26-6 Thursday night victory, Ravens Torrey Smith, C.J. Mosley, Jacoby Jones and others talked about winning it for Rice and what a great guy he is. That Rice had allegedly never been in any trouble before is irrelevant. His one indiscretion is inexcusable. We didn’t need the second tape to know that, and until his former teammates understand that, they will continue to embarrass themselves and the league. We have no idea what Roger Goodell knew or when he knew it relevant to the second tape. If he’s lying, he will be fired. If he’s not, he’ll be judged on what he does to eliminate domestic violence among NFL players going forward, not how badly he’s botched the Rice case. Hardy, McDonald and Peterson all are clearly entitled to due process in the courts. But that does not mean they’re entitled to play through their indiscretions. The deactivations of Hardy and Peterson this past weekend were the

right moves. Both players were paid so they’re not technically being punished. Even if they’re innocent of the allegations against them, they have to know better than to put themselves in these situations to maintain the privilege of playing in the NFL. The paid time off until their cases are adjudicated is what’s best for the league. Finally, understand that the case against Peterson is very different than Rice, Hardy and McDonald. I find what Peterson did to his son to be disgusting and reprehensible and I’m sure many of you agree with me. But there are some very serious, important and significant institutions and individuals in this country who believe in corporal punishment. Again, as much as I hate what Peterson did, it is quite possible he loves his son very much and that he believed he was doing the right thing. How Peterson responds and what the league does to clean up this ridiculous mess is what we will eventually remember, not how uncomfortable it’s been to watch it unfold.

1977 was my first year on the NFL beat. In the 37 years since, I have never seen a more controversial or disastrous week for the game than the one that’s just passed. There was the week the players walked out in 1982 and didn’t return for 56 days. 1987 brought the replacement games and disgust in NFL cities everywhere. We lived through the Raiders-Patriots “tuck” game, replacement officials, and the game they stole from the Packers to give to the Seahawks. There were murder charges against Rae Carruth and Aaron Hernandez and any number of other huge stories that challenged the NFL’s seeming perfection and invincibility. But never a week like this. With the emergence of what is being called the “second Ray Rice tape,” the sudden vulnerability of the previously untouchable Roger Goodell, the ongoing controversies surrounding Greg Hardy and Ray McDonald, and then the child endangerment indictment against Adrian Peterson, it feels as if the sky is indeed falling. Let’s be clear, not only

ANGELS FROM THE ATTIC

What’s the biggest animal you’ve ever seen? Maybe you’ve seen a girafe or an elephant at the zoo, or you’ve spotted whales when visiting the ocean. But can you imagine an animal more than 40 feet tall (bigger than your house!) and weighing more than 40 tons (about the weight of 20 cars), walking around your neighborhood? That was the size of the brachiosaurus, a dinosaur that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. We know about dinosaurs because of a science called paleontology, the study of life long ago. Most scientists conduct experiments to learn new information, but paleontologists have to learn using fossils, which are the preserved remains of living things. Much like animals today, dinosaurs came in many shapes and sizes, and they lived at diferent times. Some,

like the eoraptor, the earliest known dinosaur, walked on two feet and lived among turtles and frogs. Others, like the stegosaurus, a giant animal with a tiny brain, lived in a later time, known as the Jurassic Period, when the first bird-like dinosaurs were seen. There was even one about the size of a chicken, the compsognathus, the smallest known dinosaur. The famous Tyrannosaurus rex didn’t come about until the latest period of dinosaurs, when more mammals began to emerge. A few dinos, like the T. rex, were hunters, but most ate plants — paleontologists know because of the shape of their teeth. Today, you can visit dinosaur bones in a museum, but you won’t see a live dino walking down your street anytime soon. Dinosaurs became extinct (meaning they died out) about 65 million years ago. Why did it happen? No one knows for sure, but with new discoveries being made all the time, we just might learn someday.

Make your own fossil! Dinosaur fossils were formed by bones staying under ground for millions of years. But you can make your own fossil right at home today! Make sure to get an adult to help you. You’ll need: 2 cups flour 1 cup salt 1 cup water Something to make a fossil of — a small plastic dinosaur, or even your hand

1. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, and slowly add water, stirring as you go, until you have a dough. You might not need all the water — you don’t want the dough too wet. 2. Roll the dough into a ball, dust it with flour, and knead it for at least five minutes. Roll it out to ½- or ¼-inch thick. Cut circles from the dough using a cookie cutter or a drinking glass. 3. Press your fossil object into the dough and carefully remove. Then bake the dough at 200 F for 2-3 hours. When done baking and cooled, you have your fossil!
