The Downers Grove School District 58 Board of Education reviewed the final 201415 budget during a special meeting and budget workshop Monday, Aug. 25.

District Controller James Popernik reported that the final 2014-15 budget includes an estimated $62.3 million in revenue and $64.3 million in expenditures.

One-time capital projects generated by a life safety bonds sale account for the slight difference.

“The district is solid financially but there will always be needs, so we must monitor our money and prioritize projects,” Popernik said.

One-time capital projects funded this summer’s facility renovations includes a new fire alarm systems at nine schools, and new kitchen fire doors at Herrick and O’Neill middle schools.

The district also installed replacement rooftop HVAC units at Belle Aire, El Sierra, Henry Puffer and Herrick schools, and new boilers at Henry Puffer School. A new gym ventilation unit and three new classroom >> see budget | page 8

Woodridge

Additional funding approved for road projects More extensive work needed for 3 roads in the Mendingwall subdivision The Woodridge Village Board on Thursday night approved additional funding necessary to

change from a resurfacing to a reconstruction of Hickory Court and Autumn Drive, perform

additional base repairs on other roadways, and perform striping work on Woodward.

The board approved a change order in the amount not to exceed $410,000, for an estimated total project cost of $1,446,520.

As part of the Woodridge’s annual street resurfacing program, the village board awarded a bid to James D. Fiala Paving Company earlier this year.

The scope of the resurfacing program includes resurfacing of some roadways as well as fulldepth resurfacing of various streets in the village. A standard resurfacing project includes patching problem areas of the

roadway and replacement of deteriorated curb and sidewalk followed by the removal and replacement of 1 and .5 inches of the existing road surface.

A full-depth resurfacing project entails removing asphalt down to the stone base in sections of the roadway followed by replacement of the binder and asphalt surface.

During construction, it was discovered that more extensive base work is necessary for three of the roadways in the Mendingwall subdivision, Two Paths Drive, Autumn Drive and Hickory Court.

While the planned resurfacing project plus additional stretches of base repair would complete

Two Paths, this approach for Hickory and Autumn Drive would most likely result in premature road deterioration.

Therefore, the road project for Hickory and Autumn, was elevated to a full roadway reconstruction, meaning removal and replacement of the stone base and binder of these two roadways prior to the new road surface being constructed.

Additional roadway striping has been recommended by a traffic engineer at two locations on Woodward Avenue, north of 75th Street, to provide additional turn lane stacking.

The roadwork continues to progress and is expected to be complete by late September.

LRP makes stormwater top priority Capital, maintenance projects require revenue increases

By Christine M. Foushi for the bugle

sweditor@buglenewspapers.com @buglenewspapers

The village’s stormwater infrastructure is an important part of the long-range planning process.

During its third long-range planning meeting on Aug. 5, the Downers Grove Village Council focused primarily on the village’s stormwater system, which is a plan that is expected to span the

next 15 years.

Industry standards state village’s need to safely store and convey 95 percent of weather events. That means the village needs to keep water out of structures, roads passable and water out of residential yards during heavy rains, Village Manager David Fieldman said.

Currently, service levels vary through out the village, Fieldman explained, as some areas have no ditches or storm pipes and other areas such as new subdivisions

have brand new stormwater systems.

The village stormwater program currently has two areas of concentration. Capital projects includes building new systems where none exist at all and upgrading existing areas to meet the industry standard.

Maintenance projects look systems that are functioning but need to be maintained.

Fieldman said the village could either put more money into capital projects to reach the recommended level of service or maintain the current system so it performs as designed.

Once the village determines where to invest more, the long-

range plan has a prioritization project list within each.

As the long-range plan stands now, accomplishing any project would require more revenue from the village’s stormwater revenue fee.

The plan recommended raising the annual stormwater fee by 8.7 percent each year for the next 14 or 15 years, Fieldman said.

As for where to invest, the longrange plan emphasizes capital projects between 2015 and 2023 followed by a complete emphasis on maintenance by 2028.

Mayor MartinTully said revenue is needed in order to get from A to B on these projects, and it is a valid topic for discussion.

Commissioner Geoff Neustadt asked about land acquisition and if there is need. Fieldman agreed acquisitions would need to be made, and the process would start immediately because it takes a few years.

Strategic buyouts were also a topic of discussion.

The village could purchase land because a structure is flooding and no engineering plan would prevent it from flooding again and therefore, remove the structure,Tully said.

Strategic buyouts are torn down and make way for parks or

provide access to a stormwater system, Fieldman said.

Neustadt said although maintaining projects are important to him, the village also needs to see capital projects started.

Commissioner Bob Barnett said he would like to see a shorter timeline – three to five years instead of the 15-year plan.

He said he is not comfortable implementing an increase in stormwater fees that outline a project that will be 15 years down the road.

Commissioner Becky Rheintgen said it is hard to balance the options because there are two types of residents – those who do not want an increase in fees and those who just want help and are flooding all the time.

She asked if the stormwater fee remained the same, would the village be able to uphold the required level of maintenance.

Fieldman said the village would be able to maintain the current level of maintenance for the next few years, but said inflation would cause the village to fall behind. He added that the village’s stormwater system would not be sustainable if revenues stayed flat.

Library partners with local businesses in September Lisle, Downers Grove, Naperville business offer discounts with Lisle Library card This September marks the sixth annual “I Love My Lisle Library Card” Business Partnership Program.

Lisle Library District patrons can enjoy discounts at 45 participating local businesses just by showing a current Lisle Library card from Sept.

1-30. Held in conjunction with the celebration of National Library Card Sign-Up Month in September, the program is one that is looked forward to by both patrons and local business owners.

“I’ve had patrons who inquire about the list of discounts because they want to preplan their shopping trips for the month,” said Virginia McKeefery-Reynolds, Lisle Library circulation services staff member. McKeefery-Reynolds has coordinated the I Love My Lisle Library Card program since its inception in 2009.

“From discounts at local restaurants and retail stores to discounted activities for kids, there really is something for everyone,” McKeefery-Reynolds said.

That widespread appeal could be the reason that businesses

from all around the area have been offering discounts via the program since the beginning.

One of those Lisle businesses is Leo’s Cleaners, 4752 Main St., which is owned by Dennis Callan.

“It’s worked out well,” Callan said of his partnership with the Library. “We’ve had some good responses. We’ve had people come into the store, and then run out saying they forgot their Library card. It really feels like a community event.”

It’s that sense of community that makes nationwide businesses want to be involved as well.

“It’s important for us to reach out and be part of the community,” said Katrina Brown,

store manager Walgreens, 1010 Maple Ave. in Lisle. “Our customers are happy that we are partnering with the Library to bring them extra savings.”

The I Love My Lisle Library Card Business Partnership Program runs through the month of September, and patrons are encouraged to visit the Lisle Library, 777 Front St., or lislelibrary.org to get a complete list of participating businesses and discounts.

“If we gain one new longterm customer [by offering discounts through this program], it’s beneficial,” said Callan. “But, some of our regulars come in to use it and say it feels like a thank you. Either way, it’s win-win.”

He also reported on central registration in early August, as well the permissive transfer and kindergarten AM/PM selection processes.

Greg Wolcott, assistant superintendent for teaching and learning, provided an update on the Academic Transformation Plan at the meeting. The office of teaching and learning and district

staff were busy this summer with a number of subjects, programs, and professional development that included visible learning, curriculum development, ELL program and FOCUS Forum 14.

Wolcott said the year ahead includes writing curriculum implementation, math curriculum revision, special education audit and gifted review.

The next Woodridge School District 68 Board of Education meeting is scheduled for Sept. 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the gymnasium Jefferson Junior High, 7200 Janes Ave.,Woodridge.

The village of Westmont has placed a Sharps Kiosk in the lobby of the Westmont Police Department, 500 N. Cass Ave. Residents will have access to the kiosk during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., to safely drop off unwanted or used needles.

Every day, millions of people across the country self-inject their medications, but they do not always dispose of used sharps, syringes and lancets

properly. These items may end up in the environment, where they put others at risk of injury or infection. That is why laws to regulate their disposal are now in place in a growing number of states.

The village of Westmont has partnered with Waste Management on this program, which allows an easy, environmentally sound way to contain used sharps and provide for their safe disposal and destruction. For more information, or to obtain a personal sharps container, contact Deputy Chief Ross Brenza at 630-981-6323.

Urban Legend wins awards at Midwest Brewers Fest 2 of Urban Legend’s four beer entries in the festival’s 2014 Pro Brewer Competition won medals

By Jonathan saMPLes aLeX v. hernandeZ sTaff reporTers @buglenewspapers

Westmont’s very own Urban Legend Brewing Company was one of more than 70 area breweries that participated in the Midwest Brewers Festival Aug. 23, and the burgeoning craft brewer was hoppy it did.

Two of Urban Legend’s four beer entries in the festival’s 2014 Pro Brewer Competition won medals. Its Skylla’s GraspMosaic Pale Ale took second place in the category for beers with 7 percent or less alcohol by volume and color of 20 or less on the standard reference method.Urban Legend’s Creature-Imperial Black IPA placed third in the category for beers with more than 7 percent ABV and color above 20 SRM. “This is a tremendous result for our small team from Westmont,” said Shannon Hancock,Westmont resident and vice president of operations with Urban Legend, “after only a year in business, and going against some much larger, more well-established, breweries.”

In addition to the competition, Urban Legend staff served beer samples, and shared in the craft beer culture with many disciples

Various summer work order repairs were also performed, including thorough cleaning of all buildings and classrooms, floor tile repair, and cabinet, shelving and room partition

Ticket holders braved thunderstorms, muddy fields and an overflowing DuPage River

to sample beers at the fourth annual Midwest Brewers Fest on Saturday,Aug. 23.

The Plainfield festival featured over 200 craft beers from wellknown breweries such as Goose Island, Revolution, 3 Floyds and Lagunitas, as well as smaller brewers such as Vice District and B. Nektar Meadery.

The festival also featured a“craft beer experience” that featured rare beers like Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout, an oak Bourbon barrel cask-conditioned beer only brewed in small batches during November.

Upon entry people were given 43 tasting tickets and a 2-ounce cup to sample beers from the 70 different breweries and meaderies and five homebrew clubs at the festival. Of those tickets, only three could be used at the homebrewers tent.

“We only make these beers in five or ten gallon batches,” said Matt Streibich, a brewer with the Joliet Brewers Guild. Founded in 2012 by Joel Rakoski, the guild began with 12 members but has grown larger since.

Some of the beers the guild offered were the chocolate and coconut flavored Samoa Porter, the vanilla cream ale flavored The Big V and a lemonade wit beer

that tasted like lemon meringue pie.

Many of the homebrewers at the festival said they were happy that the IPA craze appeared to be losing steam because now they could get more creative with the kinds of ingredients they use.

“I’ve always wanted to fuse Latino flavors into my beer,” said Walter Ornelas, the head brewmaster at Banging Gavel Brews. Back in June, Banging Gavel’s Kickstarter campaign to open a craft brewery and taproom went over its $30,000 goal. Ornelas said the brewery plans to move out of his garage and into a larger facility later this year.

However, the fun did not last, as storms blew into the area around 1 p.m., delaying and eventually canceling the event.

After the festival’s closure a statement apologizing for the shorter tasting time was posted on the festival’s Facebook page.

“To all those who attended this year, simply let us know next year if you were unhappy, and as a first step you will receive $10 off of each 2015 ticket purchase upon using a discount code.We are also considering other options as well.

We cannot change the past, but we can do something to improve the future,” said the statement.

All the proceeds from the Midwest Brewers Fest go to charities.This year,the benefactors are the Plainfield Riverfront Foundation, Pints for Prostates, and the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana.

Asphalt repair and replacement projects at El Sierra, Indian Trail, Whittier and Pierce Downer schools were also performed.

Additionally, a donation from a retired district teacher provided funding for an outdoor learning space at Herrick Middle School.

District 58 said it has invested approximately $23 million over the last seven years in facilities’ improvements, including new roofs on all 15 district facilities, security upgrades, new flooring, HVAC and fire alarm upgrades.

Necessary life safety funding received in 2010 and in 2013

provided $15 million of these funds.

The district said other facility needs exist throughout the district, and said they will continue to be prioritized and addressed as funds become available to do so.Those priorities include ongoing maintenance projects in each building, science lab improvements at the district’s middle schools and planning for a long-term solution

to the district’s central office facility needs.

“District 58 has maintained and even expanded staff and services while maintaining a balanced budget during challenging economic times,” Popernik said. “We will continue to serve as good stewards of taxpayers’ money while delivering excellent services in the best interest of our community.”

Benet looking to get back to state

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

For the third season in a row last year, the Benet girls volleyball team earned an IHSA state trophy, placing second in the state in class 4A. It was the fourth time in six years the RedWings played for the 4A state title.

While Benet lost six players from last season’s team, it returns several players who saw time on the varsity court last year.

“We played 12 kids last y e a r ,” said Benet coach Brad Baker.

“Subbed out both outside hitters for defensive specialists, our right side for a DS, played a libero and had a serving sub.”

Mike Sandrolini/Bugle Staff

Natalie Canuli returns to play for the Benet girls volleyball team this season.

Northwestern commit Racheal Fara, a 6-foot, 3-inch senior middle, returns along with Natalie Canulli, a 5-9 senior libero who has committed to Penn State. Seniors Dana Griffin (5-10, OH) and Maria Cyvas (6-1, M) also return with experience.

“Racheal will be a dominate player and is one of the best middles in the state,” Baker said.

Junior Tiffany Clark, a 5-10 outside hitter, is a Michigan recruit as a libero.

“She plays libero in club, but will play OH for us,” Baker said.

“She is one of the best junior liberos in the nation.”

Sophomore Sara Neilson, a 6-0 setter was a serving specialist during the playoff r u n last year and will compete for the setting job.

Also returning and expecting to compete will be Aileen Griffin, Marissa T a s s o n e , Meghan Weber, Julianne Melby, Verionica Snelling and Brittany Mankowski.

New to varsity this season will be Lauren Berto (6-0, junior, M),

Paige Hembrough (6-0, Sr., RS) and Lina Lietuvninkas (5-9, Jr., M) Lilly Johnson (6-1, Fr, OH) and Gretchen Rudel (5-11, So, OH) will split time between the sophomore and varsity teams this season, but will be future varsity rotation players.

“Everyone is very excited for the season,” Baker said. “We have a very deep team with lots of girls that will be pushing each other. This team is driven and motivated to have a successful season.”

The Trojans do, however, return nine players off that team in seniors Katherine Laio, Grace Larson, Kristen Paulius, Bailey Greenaberg and Selen Ushela along with juniors Leah Rogoz, Mary Beacom, Alexia May and Madison Sturm.

DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH The Mustangs lost in the regional opener a year ago, but lost only one senior from that aquad.

Local harriers eyeing Detwieller

By Mark Gregory sports reporter

mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard

The Downers Grove South girls cross country team comes into the season this year with a goal of repeating what it did last year.

For the Mustangs, who were West Suburban Conference Gold Division champions and placed ninth at the IHSA state meet, that is a hefty goal.

“We just have to take it one day at a time,” said South coach Doug Plunkett. “Keep running, keep working hard. We expect to win conference for the 16th year in a row and our goal is to qualify for the state meet and finish in the top 10.”

The Mustangs will have some key runners to replace, including a pair of D-I athletes. Gone are key runners Meredith Robinson,as well as Haley Albers (Northwestern) and Meaghan Bosman.

South is not without returning runners, as they bring back senior Amanda Thate and Abby Kargol and juniors Michaela Hackbarth and Jill Boyle.

That was the team’s top runner at the state meet a year ago, posting a time of 17 minutes, 50 seconds, good for 35th place overall. Kargol was 93rd in 18:26,while Hackbarth was 137th in 18:55 and Boyle was 158th in 19:09.

They will be joined by Liz Alcantara, Katie Stapleton and Maggie Seitz.

“I really like the makeup of this team. It’s a group that works hard and works together well,” Plunkett said. “We should have two really good front runners and solid three and four runner.We need to find a fifth runner to match up with our top four.”

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH The Trojans placed 21st at the state meet a year ago and are expected to return their top four runners from the 2013 team.

Junior Grace Maletich was 37th in the state individually a year ago, posting a time of 17:51.

She is joined by fellow juniors Kaitlyn Bonfield, who was 127th in 18:48, and Angela Budach, who was 156th in 19:07. Also back is sophomore Emma Moravec, who was 143rd in 18:59. >> see HARRIERS | page 15

The Panthers took a trip up to Naperville for the playoff game, losing to Neuqua Valley, 38-7.

Coach Pat New and Benet travel to O’Fallon for week two of the season.

game time Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Keys to the game: A long bus ride to St. Louis won’t help the Redwings’ cause.

However, if they can get off to a strong start, they should be in the game throughout.

The Panthers have the ability to put up points, so the Benet defense will need to bring its best game.

GAME 2:

The details: The two teams met last year in Downers Grove, with the Trojans coming out on top 28-0.

Downers North has lost a lot of players from last year’s squad, but with the return of quarterback David Edwards, the running game should continue to shine.

Hinsdale South is coming off a 4-5 season and opened the season at home against Romeoville.

Keys to the game: It

game time Friday, 7:30 p.m. will be important for the Trojans to not take the Hornets lightly as the hosts have the talent to pull off the upset.

However, if the Trojans can pull ahead early, they can muscle their way to a win with a strong running game and a solid defense.

Area soccer teams return with hope

By Scott Taylor sports editor

staylor@enterprisepublications.com @Taylor_Sports

Downers South (11-7-4) has had to deal with a loaded sectional complex and this year appears to be no different.

After a loss to Lyons in the regional final last year, the Mustangs are hoping to get over the hump this year.

They will be led by midfield/ forward Eric Diaz, a senior who is a three-year starter and two-time all-conference and all-sectional.

Returning seniors Jason Galik and Hunter Thoren anchor the midfield, while 2013 allconference selection Andrew Dobosenski leads the defense.

Sophomore forward Nick Rohl highlights the newcomers.

Rohl, according to coach Jon Stapleton, is a proven goal scorer at the lower levels who earned a spot on the varsity roster as a freshman by the end of the season.

Junors Peter Fish and Andrew Pierropoulos join the midfield, while Sam Dumford is the new goalie, who Stapleton said, is an “excellent shot stopper.”

“Our goals in this program remain consistent from year to year,” Stapleton said. “Each new team comes in with the mindset to compete for a conference title and make a deep run in the IHSA state playoffs.”

Stapleton hopes to find success through getting better on a daily basis.

“In order to accomplish our goals we need to focus on improving every day and becoming the best possible team we can be by then end of the season,” he said. “We view the season as a process.

Our schedule is demanding and is set up for the purpose of preparing us mentally and physically for the rigors of the state tournament.”

In the rugged West Suburban Gold, Morton will again be the team to beat, while Leyden will also be a tough opponent.

“I am optimistic to see how this group of young men come together as a team,” Stapleton said. “I believe we have a lot of quality players and people on this team and their ability to sacrifice a part of themselves

for the overall good of the team will be instrumental in their success.”

BENET The Redwings ended up 17-4-1 last year and were regional champs before falling to Morton 1-0 in the sectional semifinals.

Kyle Kenagy returns after scoring 26 goals and nine assists last year. Daniel Morefield had

five goals last year and Andrew Heaton is also back after having three assists a year ago.

Keepers Nick Senak and Konrad Bayer both return, as do senior midfielders Jared Kovach and Patrick Cleary, as well as juniors Richie Michalik and Trenton Wray.

Benet opened the season with a 3-0 win over Downers North. Kenagy had a pair of goals for the Redwings.

Heaton scored the other goal, with assists to Kovach and Michalik.

Bayer made seven saves in goal to pick up the shutout win.

WESTMONT The Sentinels return midfielder Joe Kalafut, (a two-time All-Columbus Cup Tournament player and junior defenders Adam Doll and Jake

Strobl. Junior midfielder Matt Niemeyer also returns.

“These two will lead the strongest back line we’ve had in at least a couple of years,” Westmont coach Ronald Neurauter said of the defensive duo. “(Niemeyer’s) tall, strong, and will challenge opposing goal-keepers on set pieces.”

The details: The two teams went in opposite directions last year following their meeting.

Proviso West won the game 19-12, but went 1-6 the rest of the year to finish 2-7.

The Mustangs went 6-2 the rest of the year and finished the season with a 6-4 record and a playoff appearance.

Keys to the game: The higher the scoring, the better chance for Downers South.

game time Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Last year the Panthers scored more than 20 points just two times all year and one was a three overtime game.

If Downers South can get the ball moving on the ground with its strong offensive line, it could be a long night for the Panthers.

The defense, likewise, will have to be able to get off the field on third down situations.

The Lions are expecting back five runners from last year’s regional lineup.

Seniors Kaitlyn Stanley Kaiti Young and Shelby Anderson are expected back, as are sophomores Tiffany Compton and Ellie Moore.

BOYS Like the Downers Grove South girls, the guys also placed first in the WSC Gold, finishing in a tie up top and were sectional qualifiers as a team.

The Mustangs return Jack LaLonde, Ethan Kirk, Joey Eterno, Alan Zhou and Drew Heneghan from that team.

Benet took sixth of 15 teams at the Marian Invite at Coyote Run. Abdullah placed fourth with

David Fish,South gains newcomers Stephan Pipilas, Luke LaLonde and Mark Alvarez.

“We should have a lot of depth this fall and a lot of interchangeable runners throughout the top 10 or so,” said South coach Brian Caldwell. “We should have a relatively small time split between our 1-5 runners which was one of biggest problems last year.”

Caldwell feels the conference will again come down to South and Morton, the teams who tied for the league crown last year.

“Conference will most likely be a battle between DGS and Morton once again,” Caldwell said. “The teams tied last fall overall after DGS won dual meet and Morton won Conference Championship on a sixth-man tie-breaker. Both teams return most of their top guys from 2013 so it should lead to a couple great battles.”

Holding off Morton for the title is just one goal of the Mustangs.

“We want to win conference outright, Improve on our sectional placing from 2013 and qualify for state,”Caldwell said.We can achieve these goals if we are consistent in our training and get better each week. The fact that guys will have to battle this year to be in the top five, seven or 12 will make everyone on the team better.

runners being juniors or younger.

With that said, we aren’t looking ahead to next fall when we should be even better. We have a group here this year that can be extremely competitive against the best teams in the state. If we practice and compete to our potential this fall, we could very well end up being the best cross country team in DGS’ 50 year history.”

DOWNERS GROVE NORTH The Trojans return to this season after placing second in the state a year ago behind Hinsdale Central.

Top runner Zack Smith might be gone, but North returns senior Ryan Clevenger, who was seventh overall in the state meet with a time of 14:38.

Fellow seniors Zac Christensen and Jack Diamond are back after running in the state meet a season ago.

BENET A year ago, Benet was a top-20 team in Class 3A, placing 19th a season ago.

The RedWings return four of the top five scoring runners from the state team a year ago.

Seniors led the way as Brady McLaughlin was 82nd last year in 15:59, Sean Harnik was 93rd in 16:03 and Max Tuttle was 123rd in 16:21.

Junior Kelly Crombie placed 134th in 16:28.

One of the most important factors that lead to higher risks of injury is a lack of proper safety gear and protective equipment. Helmets need to be worn for sports such as baseball, football, lacrosse, hockey, biking and skating.

Children are more susceptible to sports injuries or many families, this time of year marks not only the beginning of the school but also for participation in school sports. The number of children involved in competitive sports has risen dramatically in recent years for children of all ages. And while athletics can help kids learn about sportsmanship, teamwork and discipline, there are risks for injuries that must be managed so it remains a positive experience.

Children are more susceptible to sports injuries for a variety of reasons. Children younger than 8 or 9 have slower reaction times and less developed coordination.

Additionally, since kids grow and mature at different rates, smaller kids end up in the same age groups as some of their larger contemporaries, which may The types of sports injuries in children are also lead to an increased risk typically either acute or related to chronic overuse of injury.

One of the most important factors that lead to higher risks of injury is a lack of proper safety gear and protective equipment. Helmets need to be worn for sports such as baseball, football, lacrosse, hockey, biking and skating. Parents and coaches should also consider various other safety measures such as protective eyewearwith shatterproof goggles, mouth guards, athletic supporters, shoulder pads and shin guards.

The risk varies depending on the sport and level of competition. Parents and trainers must ensure that the appropriate safety gear is available, but also that it fits properly and is actually worn correctly by the young athletes.

All athletics, from practices or training sessions to the competition itself must have qualified adult oversight. Members of the staff and coaches should have training in first aid and CPR. They should understand the importance of proper safety equipment and technique. The playing field should be free from irregularities, andotherapparatusesandequipmentshouldbe checked for proper maintenance. Adults should ensure that the participants are appropriately matched for the sport they are playing and the physical size of other participants. The staff must require adequate rest and hydration before and during practice and competition.

The coaches should also be on the look out for signs of injury and must hold injured kids out of participation until evaluated by medical staff.

Children must understand the rules and proper techniques before participating in active competition so they don’t injure themselves or other participants. There must be adequate rest periods between practices or games, and knowledgeable adults should conduct training and warm up sessions.

In every circumstance, the approach should be to “play it safe”. The athlete should be removed from the practice or competition immediately until appropriate first aid and medical assessment can be completed. If the injury affects basic function, such as causing a limp or the child cannot fully bend a joint, the evaluation should be done by a physician. And of course for more severe

injuries the athlete should be taken to the nearest hospital Emergency department.

For aches and pains that develop over time, more typical of overuse injuries, the child should be examined by their pediatrician who can correctly diagnose the condition and develop a treatment plan, which usually involves rest and anti- inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen.
