The annual event was part of Fire Prevention Week, which concluded Friday with the Silent Parade to honor fallen firefighters and other fire victims.

Other events at the firehouse included a demonstration where two rooms, set side-by-side, were set on fire, one with sprinklers and one without, to show the effectiveness of residential sprinklers.

Village looks at zoning changes for medical marijuana clinics

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The Village of Downers Grove is taking a look at its zoning code in preparation for the new Illinois medical marijuana law.

The Village Plan Commission voted unanimously Oct. 7 to recommend adding medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensaries to the list of

allowable special uses in areas zoned for light manufacturing.

That recommendation will go on to the village council for ultimate approval, and will likely make its first agenda appearance in early November, village spokesman Doug Kozlowski said.

Village Planner Stan Popovich said no prospective owners have approached the village formally or informally

regarding possible marijuana cultivation or dispensary centers, yet.

Popovich said the village examined the different zoning districts and thought the M1 light manufacturing zoning classification was the most appropriate for any possible marijuana clinics.

“The village is trying to be proactive on this topic,” he said.

M1 allows for a range of

The village’s special use would also require both to be the same distances from any parks.

In addition to applying for a special use permit with the village, any prospective marijuana clinic owner would have to comply with a lengthy list of state standards listed in the new statute, and owners would be subject to a criminal

uses, including offices, banks, medical and dental clinics and day care centers. M1 does not allow for schools, and is typically isolated from residential uses, according to village documents.

The state statute requires a marijuana dispensary to be at least 1,000 feet from a school, day care or residentially-zoned area, and a cultivation site would have to be at least 2,500 feet away.

D-99 student test scores fall below Adequate Yearly Progress state test scores failed to make Adequate Yearly Progress this year, the school district announced during a workshop meeting last week.

Because District 99 receives Title 1 funding to help at-risk-students, it must make Adequate Yearly Progress as defined by the federal government’s No Child Left Behind program.

For 2013, the minimum state target was 92.5 percent of all juniors meeting or exceeding reading and math standards on the Prairie State Achievement Examination.

That benchmark percentage increases every year, which has led to the majority of high schools in the state not meeting AYP. Last year, less than 10 schools statewide made

AYP, according to District 99.

District-wide, one subgroup, white students, made AYP in reading. Two subgroups, white and Asian students, made AYP in math.

The school district saw large improvements in two subgroups. The percentage of black students who met or exceeded standards increased by 15 percent, and the percentage of economically disadvantaged students who met or exceeded standards increased by 12.9 percent.

“We are making progress, but we still didn’t meet the standard that was set,” Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning Gina Ziccardi said Oct. 7.

At North High, 75.5 percent of students in all groups met or exceeded reading standards, and 76.5 percent in math, Ziccardi told board members, below the benchmark of 92.5 percent.

At South High, 69.6 percent of students met or exceeded reading standards and 70.1 percent in math.

At South High, reading scores did increase in every sub group over last year, according to South High School Associate Principal for Cur-

riculum Georgia Hash.

The district is required to provide free tutoring services to low-income students because it has not made AYP for three or more years. Twenty-eight tutoring companies provide the services for up to about 90 students, Ziccardi said.

The board workshop meeting Monday discussed several methods of tracking student performance in addition to AYP. Associate Principals for Curriculum at both high schools reported rising enrollment in Advanced Placement classes.

District officials also said that North and South High School students outpaced state and national averages in ACT scores.

The average District 99 students scored a 22.9 on the ACT in 2013, compared to 20.9 nationally, and 20.6 statewide.

Within the district, that’s an improvement from 2002, when the average was 21.5, but a fall from a peak of 23.3 in 2011. Officials said a change in the method for reporting ACT scores could be attributed for a portion of that dip.

DOWNERS GROVE – A pizza delivery driver who reported his car stolen Sunday returned to work Tuesday to find his Kia Optima waiting for him in a parking space at the business, police said.

The driver for a pizzeria in the 900 block of Warren Avenue told police someone stole his car after he returned to the restaurant following a delivery at 10:45 p.m.

Oct. 6.

On Oct. 8, he found the car along with several items left inside that were not his, including fast food bags, police said.

Witnesses described a man seen near the vehicle a few minutes earlier and police located the alleged suspect, Joseph Grissom, 35, 3859 Douglas Road, Downers Grove, about a block away.

Grissom allegedly still had the car keys, and the victim said he had never seen Grissom before

and that he did not give anyone permission to take the car.

Grissom was charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle, police said.

Village seeks retail or food service for Main Street Station DOWNERS GROVE – The Village of Downers Grove is looking for a retail or food service vendor to lease space at the Main Street Station currently occupied by a bakery.

THE PEDIATRIC DENTIST Q: What is a pediatric dentist?

A: A pediatric dentist is one who, by virtue of extra years of training, specializes in treating children, from infancy through adolescence. This would include children who have special health-care needs. Pediatric dentistry is just one of the fields in which dentists, after they have finished their regular DMD or DDS degree work, can go on for several more years of study to become specialists. Pediatric dentistry requires an extra two to three years of training, working with infants, toddlers, children, teens and children with special needs. Pediatric dentists also have been trained in child psychology so they can establish trust with their young patients.

It’s not just adults who need good dental care: studies have shown that a child troubled by dental problems can have problems in school and in developing social relationships. The good maintenance of baby teeth through the time they are replaced by permanent teeth is one of the goals of the pediatric dentist. Baby teeth are essential for nutrition and speech development and they hold the space for the proper eruption of permanent teeth. Additionally, based on the trust that develops between young patients and a pediatric dentist, the dentist’s recommendations for healthy life practices usually carry considerable weight with the youngster.

DOWNERS GROVE – The parent company of grocery chain Dominick’s announced Thursday that it is looking to leave the Chicago area market by next year.

Safeway Inc. is looking to find buyers for all 72 Dominick’s stores in the Chicago area, Safeway spokesperson Teena Massingill said.

Downers Grove has a Dominick’s location at 42 Ogden Ave. The company has already sold four Dominick’s to Jewel-Osco – two in Chicago, one in Homer Glen and one in Glenview.

The decision to leave the Chicago market comes after the chain of Dominick’s stores lost $35.2 million in the first

three quarters of 2013.

Safeway said in a news release that it plans to save between $400 and $450 million by the move, which it will use to buy back stock and invest in other “growth opportunities.”

Safeway is also selling its Canadian business.

“The decision to sell Canada Safeway and to exit the Chicago market is consistent with Safeway’s priority of maximizing shareholder value,” Safeway President and CEO Robert Edwards said in a statement. “These actions will allow us to focus on improving and strengthening our core grocery business.”

The move will cost Safeway about $375 million in pension withdrawal liability, with tax benefits of about $145 million, it said in the news release.

To make a design from SVGCuts, crafters at home need to buy a copy of Sure Cuts a Lot software and an electronic cutting machine. Machines recommended

by SVGCuts include the Pazzles Inspiration, available on Amazon. com for $449, or the Sizzix Eclips, $299, among others.

Project designs sold by SVGCuts. com cost $6.99. There is also a selection of free designs on their website, SVGcuts.com. like a three-story haunted house – Kowal’s favorite, or a mini hot air balloon, among others. The intricate designs look more sculptural than paper-made, and the selection of colored and patterned paper available at hobby shops adds an extra “pop.”

“People will use some of the crazier 3D things for parties or events,” Kowal said. “And most of the time we’ll make it so that you could put something inside

The couple started the business in 2009 after greeting cards designed by Rudakas became popular, nearly overnight, on their Etsy.com online store, Kowal said.

“One night when she was laying in bed she said, ‘Why don’t I sell the digital designs that I create?’” Kowal said. “We put the files on Etsy and made a couple hundred bucks in a weekend.

“And before you know it, our business evolved from creating two-dimensional shapes

For Kowal and Rudakas, it’s a quick four-year ascent after finding themselves unemployed after the 2008 recession.

Kowal was working in IT for Chrysler when he was laid off during the auto industry collapse, and Rudakas had recently left her job.

The couple discovered the world of die-cut paper crafts when Kowal’s mom bought Rudakas, a self-taught graphic designer from Western Springs, an electronic cutter for Christmas in 2008.

Rudakas has been designing the couple’s projects ever since, and Kowal, who has professional photography experience in

addition to his IT career, handles the web, marketing, photos, videos, customer service and everything else involved with an online business.

The website has attracted more than 800,000 unique visitors, Kowal said, garnering 16 million page views.

Kowal credited long-time North High School biology teacher David Jakes with getting him interested in digital photography when the technology was new.

“He was the first guy to hand me a digital camera back when photos were being saved to floppy disks,” he said. “I still talk to him to this day.”

Kowal and Rudakas run the business from their St. Charles home.

“One night when she was laying in bed she said, ‘Why don’t I sell the digital designs that I create?’ We put the iles on Etsy and made a couple hundred bucks in a weekend.

DOWNERS GROVE – North High School graduate Leo Kowal’s crafty business beat more than 2,000 others to win the Martha Stewart American Made audience choice award this fall.

Kowal and his wife and business co-owner Mary Rudakas are in New York this week to meet Stewart and receive their $10,000 prize. The business also might appear in Stewart’s magazine.

Their business, SVGCuts, sells downloadable designs for two-dimensional paper crafts like cards and scrapbooks in addition to three-dimensional paper projects that can be used for home decor or center pieces for events.

Users at home download the design templates and send the information to electronic paper cutters about the size of a printer. The machine cuts the pieces, which can then be assembled into striking designs,

By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Park District is analyzing several options as it looks ahead to its 2013 property tax levy.

Park district Director Bill McAdam said the board and staff is considering whether to raise the levy by the consumer price index of 1.7 percent or whether to keep it flat.

The park district is only allowed to raise the levy by the CPI or 5 percent, whichever is less. CPI is essentially the rate of inflation.

The district raised the levy by the CPI figure of 3 percent last year.

The county then tacks on another percentage to the increase, which goes to the park district.

In 2011, the park district actually lowered the levy from the previous year from $6.73 million to $6.72 million.

McAdam said the park district is still waiting to hear final figures of how much new construction is expected. A meeting is usually held sometime in October with the school districts, village and township to discuss projected new construction that will be added to the levy.

“We don’t know what that value is going to be,” he said.

District administrators expect the equalized assessed value of property in the district to fall by about 5 percent.

McAdam said he expects the board to next discuss the levy the first week of November.

The park district is also looking at how it wants to cover the $8,500 annually that the federal government promised to pay in matching funds for Build America Bonds, but has declined to do so since the sequestration.

“It has to come out of our bottom line,” he said.

The park district took out a combined $6 million in bonds in 2011 and 2012 to remodel Fishel and McCollum parks. The federal government is paying a portion of the promised matching funds, but $8,500 less annually than it originally agreed to, for a total of $179,000 over the life of the bonds.

McAdam said the park district is still deciding how to pay that portion.

Future bright at District 58 During my first school year as superintendent of District 58, I enjoyed getting to know the Downers Grove community and the many individuals who work hard to ensure that our schools offer an excellent education within a caring and supportive environment.

I have been incredibly impressed by the ongoing engagement and support from the strong partnerships that exist among District 58, our parent community and the many organizations, governments and businesses that call Downers Grove home.

We are on an exciting journey of learning and growth in District 58, and I am pleased to offer our community a glimpse into some of our areas of focus this year.

Over the summer, we completed a variety of capital projects which will continue to ensure safe, nurturing, child-centered environments for all students while maintaining the capital investments of our community.

Each of our schools also received security enhancements this summer, including the installation of a remote-operated buzz-in

COMMUNITY VOICE KARA CREMASCOLI system at the front entrances and swipe cards for staff.

The safety and welfare of our students continues to be a top priority for us, and these enhancements focus on both student safety and a welcoming school environment.

Throughout District 58, we continue to raise the bar for success as we focus on teaching and learning as a journey of challenge and growth.

With the integration of the Common Core State Standards, students will be supported this year through increasingly more rigorous and robust academic standards. Thankfully, we are not implementing any new curriculum materials district-wide this year. Instead, we will be working to refine our implementation of the Common Core along with our new math materials, balanced literacy, integrated classroom technology, and assessments for learning.

Our focus continues to be

on the development of 21st century learning as students work to master a wide range of reasoning, critical thinking skills and practical applications in ways that support lifelong learning and success within our global society.

Technology is transforming how students learn, explore, and make connections, and this year District 58 is excited to be advancing the opportunities and innovations that are possible with instructional technology.

In the 2013-14 school year, every District 58 classroom will continue to facilitate student-directed learning through a blending of traditional and technology-integrated materials.

I am honored to serve as the leader of our amazing school district. Thank you for your continued partnership in providing the very best learning environment and experiences for the students of District 58.

It is going to be a fantastic school year!

Kari Cremascoli is the superintendent of schools for Downers Grove Grade School District 58.

Reader thanks community To the Editor: On Sunday, Sept. 15, our house at 1452 S. Williams St. caught fire and burned to the ground.

It was a careless accident involving a faulty firepit and a fire that we thought was out but was not. It was a horrifying morning as we watched the brave firefighters trying to save our home.

By 5 a.m., what was our home full of our memories was totally destroyed. While this has been a great tragedy in our lives, something wonderful has come from all of this.

We have learned what a wonderful community we have in Westmont and in our specific neighborhood in Farmingdale Cove. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of our

neighbors and family who daily have shown us compassion and support. We have all been brought to tears by the generosity of our community. They have offered us financial gifts, home goods, flowers and kind words. People we hardly knew or seldom see have collected money and housing needs as we strive to build a new home.

We cannot even step into our neighborhood without a neighbor coming out and checking on our well-being. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for all the kindnesses you have shown us. We are truly humbled and grateful.

Thank you so much. You have all made our lives richer.

DOWNERS GROVE – Several Downers Grove police officers were honored last week for heroic acts in the last year.

Downers Grove Police Lt. Shanon Gillette presented the awards at the Oct. 8 village board meeting.

The Life Saving Award was given to officers Drew Barczak and Tom Powers, along with Sgt. Mike DeVries and dispatcher Mike Chufo for their actions to save an unresponsive 62-year-old man on June 27, 2012. Barczak performed chest compressions as the other two applied the defibrillator, reviving the man, who was taken to Good Samaritan in stable condition.

Gillette also honored Sgt. Rich Johnson with a Life Saving Award for resuscitating a motorist who was found unresponsive behind the

wheel in May 2012.

The award was also given to Officer Jeff Giermann for lifting a suicidal, elderly woman from a fourth-story ledge in November 2012.

Officer Jeff Mertz received the Award of Valor for tackling a man threatening to jump from a bridge at interstates 88 and 355, saving his life.

“I would like to personally thank all of you tonight, you saved several lives,” Downers Grove Police Chief Robert Porter said. “I can’t tell you how proud I am, its phenomenal.”

Porter also gave the Chief’s Award to Enza Petrarca for her work in the department.

“Enza’s been phenomenal resource for the police department,” Chief Robert Porter said. “She’s always been there for me in my position, and the rest of the department.”

8SOUND OFF

Parade route creates problems Hi, I would like to sound off about the future planning and hopefully some re-routing of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade [in Elmhurst]. Those of us that live on Spring Road, some of us don’t appreciate the candy and the torn-up lawns after the parade. Sometimes garbage left behind. Possibly the people meant to take their garbage, but just forgot and the chaos and the crowds. The city does a great job of cleaning the streets afterwards and prior. I’m sure the Spring Road business section loves the added festivities in business for the day, but some of us that live there [need a] break.

Just something to think about for the committee that does this. Thank you.

Great work by Sanitary District I would like to commend the Downers Grove Sanitary District for the repairs to my sewer line. They were prompt, courteous and professional.

More on foreign treaties Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution states, in part that, “… all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the

How to Sound Off Want to contribute to Sound Off? Call 331-481-6089 or email mslsoundoff@shawmedia.com

Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.”

This article of the Constitution is the one that places treaties like the United Nations small arms trafficking treaty above our Second Amendment in the event of a conflict between the Second Amendment and that treaty, if the U.S. Senate ratifies it. Since that treaty was recently signed by the U.S. Secretary of State under direction of our president, and since that treaty’s duration is specified in the treaty itself as being “forever,” the current U.S. Senate, or another U.S. Senate 20 or even 50 years from now, that eventually ratifies this treaty with a twothirds vote, puts its provisions above anything written in the U.S. Constitution.

Let’s vote on money for parks Hello, I read where the park district would like to have more money. As it is, I drive by the Washington Park [in Downers Grove] hundreds of

times. There’s no one there.

There’s a huge fancy fountain there pumping constantly, and no one’s there. I think if they need more money or want more money, I think we need a public referendum and let us vote on it. Many of the people I know have expressed the same feelings. We did not need all of the fanciness over there. It’s just costing us more and more.

Please, let’s vote on it.

Support the volunteer firefighters As a local Glen Ellyn resident, I’ve donated annually to the volunteer fire department. I noticed a recent article that in 2012, donation requests were mailed to 11,400 residents and 600 business locations.

Returns totaled 2,780 residents and only 67 business locations.

Consider, folks, if support does not improve, they will tax us to support a paid workforce, requiring not only salaries and pensions for three, eight-hour shifts, plus funds for equipment. The current Glen Ellyn [Suburban Life] issue has an article on the needs of the fire department, including donation

mailing location: Glen Ellyn volunteer fire company, P.O. box 460, Glen Ellyn, IL 60138, or drop off at the fire station. It’s my understanding that 3,500 fire department responses will occur in 2013. Thanks to the volunteers, they will be there for you and the 600 business locations. Will you be there for them to support the monetary needs?

Older light bulbs live on I believe I read in a newspaper not too long ago that the U.S. government had rescinded its previous order to ban the sale of incandescent light bulbs. The reason given was the public’s resistance to buying the new CFLs, and the danger of the mercury they contain. Also, the CFLs cost a lot more and have not lived up to their claims for a longer life. As far as I know, the stores are still selling the old-fashioned bulbs.

Playing favorites?

Why are the residents of the Farnham subdivision of the city of Wheaton granted or afforded the privilege of blowing or throwing their tree leaves into the Wheaton city streets or their neighbor’s yards, when residents of the other parts of the city do not have the same privilege?

“For gray to look chic, the cut should be modern and contemporary.”

And at the Altenheim, you’ll be able to protect it with rent that is reasonable.

But the Altenheim is so much more... It is surrounded with beautiful grounds and wildlife, seniors who look out for one another and apartment selections and activities to suit your active lifestyle.

You’ll be as happy as a lark here; come visit us to find out why.

7824 West Madison Street Forest Park, IL 60130 708.366.2206 | thealtenheim.com An Independent Senior Community

he thought of going gray can be scary formany reasons, including the difficult transition to letting your natural color emerge.

Some women wonder if they’ll still look attractive and feel sexy with gray hair. Plus, there seems to be an almost societal push for women going gray to dye their hair.

A 2010 study in Aging and Society found that while people admire gray hair on others — have you seen Helen Mirren, Emmylou Harris or Jamie Lee Curtis lately? —we’re often averse to trying out the look ourselves. A poll at prevention.com found that 71 percent of respondents said women with gray hair can be sexy, while 78 percent say the same for men.

Going gray is an art that reflects a woman’s confidence whether she’s in her 30s, 40s or 50s, said style expert Rita Hazan of the eponymous New York City salon.Women can absolutely look fabulous with gray hair, but they may have to work a bit for it, Hazan said.

“Some women look stunning and chic with gray hair, but oftentimes, gray hair needs a boost of shine,” she added.

Why do we gray?

As we age, hair starts turning gray as the hair follicles produce less color, and hair loses its pigment, Hazan said: “The lack of pigment increases the tendency to absorb chemicals and trace minerals that are often found in water,” leading to dull hair.

Genetics and environmental factors can play a role in when your hair starts to go gray.

“Studies show that smoking is known to increase the rate of graying, as is poor nutrition,” Hazan said.

People who are under a lot

of stress tend to shed more hair, according to trichologist Sandra Gilman, educational director for the Elan Center for Trichology, which studies the health of the hair and scalp.When your hair grows back, it may grow in gray.

Care for any hair To get back your hair’s shiny gloss, some women may want to use a color-corrective product that will also eliminate yellow from gray hair, Hazan said.

“To keep the shine, condition hair often,” Hazan said. “I recommend washing hair with a formula geared for gray once a week to counteract yellowing caused by the environment (sun, pollutants, hard water).

But beware because many of these products contain a blue tint that can cause a purplish cast. Avoid products with dyes, such as colored stylers, which can tarnish gray hair.”

No matter what color hair is, it should be protected with a hat fromthe sun, she added.

“Environmental damage is never good, so we have to do whatever we can to protect hair and skin.”

Dealing with feedback The decision to go gray will elicit reaction from friends, family and co-workers who may comment on the change, which can take months from start to finish.

“It is likely grays will start showing up slowly for most people,” Hazan said. To smooth the transition, a professional stylist can artfully place lowlights as the gray grows in. Or, you can wait it out, trimming off the old color until all that’s left is pure silver.

The haircut you chose “depends on an individual’s lifestyle, facial features and personal style,” Hazan said. “For gray to look chic, the cut should be modern and contemporary,” she said.

Women Are Afected Most By his Disease...

Natural Solutions for Your hyroid 10 to 1 you know someone who has a thyroid problem. Thyroid problems are often misdiagnosed and mis-treated...and women are afected most. This may sound familiar.

Your labs come back “Normal” and yet you still feel tired, achy, cold, depressed and mentally sluggish. You may even be on thyroid hormone replacement and still have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Worst of all it’s diicult to get anyone to listen to you. So now what do you do?

For the last four years, Dr. Susan Kelenyi, of Glen Ellyn, IL, has been working almost exclusively with women who sufer from thyroid symptoms yet their lab tests are normal. “My practice consists mainly of women who have no where else to go. They are tired, frustrated, don’t sleep well, and overweight”, she says “What most doctors don’t understand is that close to 90% of thyroid cases are actually autoimmune in nature. The condition is called Hashimoto’s Disease and it is often missed in diagnosis.”

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition (your immune system actually destroys your thyroid gland). Medical treatment often ignores the underlying immune problem and simply replaces thyroid hormone by tracking TSH levels.

According to Dr. Kelenyi, this is a shortsighted approach. “Too many people still have ongoing symptoms in spite of normal TSH levels. Why? Because the underlying immune problem is not being addressed. There is no method in the medicine today that addresses Hashimoto’s other than hormone replacement for your thyroid.

This is where Dr. Kelenyi steps in. As a chiropractor with an advanced specialty in Functional Medicine and clinical nutrition, she is able to perform speciic metabolic tests to determine what areas of the body are deicient or over reacting. Many of these tests could be performed by their MD but they don’t perform them. “The problem is two-fold, says Kelenyi.

“First, the insurance companies don’t typically pay for many of the tests and secondly, the medical model doesn’t support the answers we get from many of the tests. For example, we look at women’s adrenal (stress) glands with a salivary test and supplement with powerful botanicals in order to restore function. There are currently no drugs that help the adrenals work better.”

Why is a chiropractor treating thyroid

disease? Dr. Kelenyi emphasizes that she is not treating the disease. “That’s what their MD is for.” she says. “The medications can be life savers and women should not take themselves of them.

It’s my job to help modulate the thyroid gland and their immune system nutritionally through a Functional Medicine approach. Functional Medicine includes a lab based approach, integrating natural therapies that include lifestyle changes, to address a wide variety of chronic health problems.

What is it that Dr. Kelenyi is doing diferently than your local endocrinologist? She says that food is a big part of it. She inds that gluten can be a detrimental food for women with thyroid disease. “We now know there are

proteins in gluten that cause inlammation in people with thyroid disease. But more importantly there are many other foods that can act like gluten in causing inlammation. We test for those foods with very accurate testing and can tell you what you should or should not be eating.” Our solutions are non-drug, non surgical approaches, that are research based and based on prior clinical success.

She says it is a very rewarding way of practicing. “I am one of only 400 chiropractors in the nation addressing imbalances in this manner, so we get chronically ill people coming from all over the Chicagoland area, even out of state, to our clinic. The most important thing for these patients is results. We get results.”

Brain trust

By Melissa Erickson More Content Now

Scientific explanation?

With a lifetime of experience backed up by solid values, older Americans nevertheless fall victim to an excessive amount of fraud and scams. Are you too trusting?

The prevalence of crime against older Americans has reached epidemic proportions, said Sandy Markwood, chief executive officer of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging.

From telemarketing scams to identity theft, home repair fraud to bogus lottery wins, the financial exploitation of boomers and seniors costs an estimated $3 billion yearly, a 12 percent increase from 2008.

“Seniors are absolutely too trusting,” said Tasha Carter, Florida’s director of consumer services. “One out of five adults over the age of 65 has been the victim of a financial scam. Eighty percent of people over age 50 have been fraud victims,” Carter said.

Seniors grew up in a more innocent time.

“They were raised to be polite and trusting. A handshake agreement sealed a deal, and you took a person at their word. Today, the world is a different place,” said Carter, who runs Operation SAFE (Stop Adult Financial Exploitation) workshops in her state.

Seniors are targeted by scammers because they are more likely to have a considerable savings account and good credit, Carter said.

“Seniors control 70 percent of the nation’s wealth, which is the reason they are targeted,” she said.

It’s not just a matter of trust, though. Science is involved, too.

A study from the University of California Los Angeles suggests that agerelated changes in the brain may increase seniors’ vulnerability to fraud.

The study found that older people have a harder time than younger people detecting what is commonly perceived as suspicious or untrustworthy facial expressions and body language. The study found that the part of the brain that assesses trust, the anterior insula, may dissipate with age.

In the study, older adults (average age 68) and younger adults (average age 23) looked at 30 photographs of faces and rated them on how trustworthy and approachable they seemed. The faces were intentionally selected to look trustworthy, neutral or untrustworthy.

Both groups reacted similarly to the trustworthy and neutral faces. But, younger adults reacted strongly to the untrustworthy faces, while the older adults did not. The older adults saw these faces as more trustworthy and more approachable than the younger adults.

Don’t become a victim So how can you stop from becoming the victim of crime? Like Nancy Reagan said: “Just say ‘no!’”

“I want seniors to know it’s OK to not be polite.

Don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ and hang up on someone.

Too often seniors don’t want to be rude, and they get taken advantage of,” said Carter, who offered the following tips: ! If a telemarketer calls, say “no, thanks” and hang up without waiting for a response. ! Don’t become too friendly with an agent or salesperson. ! Never make an insurance premium check payable to an agent; checks should always be made out to the insurance company.

“Seniors are absolutely too trusting.

One out of five adults over the age of 65 has been the victim of a financial scam. Eighty percent of people over age 50 have been fraud victims.”

Tasha Carter, director of consumer services in Florida ! Never sign blank documents; don’t rush into making quick investment or financial decisions. ! Don’t do business with an individual who knocks on your door soliciting work. ! When doing repairs, get three quotes. ! Never give cash ahead of time, not for materials or before the work is done. ! Shred your documents; don’t just throw away/recycle credit card offers, bills or blank checks sent by credit card companies. ! If banking online, use a secure website (it should have “https” in the address). ! Be creative with your password. Never use your birthday or name. ! Be proactive and review

statements each month for charges or withdrawals you didn’t make. ! Equifax, Experian and TransUnion are each required by law to provide one free credit report each year.

Spread them out every four months to examine your credit. Do not Google “free credit report” or you may end up tricked into paying for the report. (Visit equifax.com, experian.com and transunion.com.) ! Add your number to the national Do Not Call list (donotcall.gov or 888-3821222). ! Be wary of unsolicited calls from your bank. Hang up and call your bank back. ! Never give any financial information over the phone.

J FEE ADVICE how to avoid paying the many bank fees

ust like any other company, banks are in the business of making money. They do it by charging you fees for all sorts of things, such as overdrawing an account, going lower than a minimum balance and using another bank’s ATM. Consider this: The average checking account has the potential for 30 fees attached to it, and some have upwards of 50, according to a study from WalletHub.com. Banks provide a service and make the rules; you pay if you don’t follow them.

If you’re not an informed and proactive consumer, bank fees have a way of adding up, said Kathleen Burns Kingsbury, founder of KBK Wealth Connection and author of “How to Give Financial Advice to Couples.”

“I think it is important to note that banksmake their money on the difference between interest earned and interest paid.With the low rates, banks have had to get creative to stay profitable, and raising fees is howmost of themare doing it,” Kingsbury said.

But just because banks are charging fees doesn’t mean you have to pay. You can “reduce or eliminate bank fees by being proactive,” Kingsbury said. “Always ask for the best deal with the lowest fees, and know that when your balances are higher or you have most if not all of your accounts at one institution, often you will get a break in the fees paid.”

Here’s some advice from Kingsbury and the American Banking Association on how to avoid bank fees: 1. Know the rules. Read the notices sent to you by the bank and know what potential fees are. If you don’t understand the fine print, ask for help.

2. Make sure your account fits. Taking the time upfront to find the best account for you is time well-invested.

Reevaluate the fit of accounts annually as life circumstances change and bank offers do as well.

3.Befriend your banker. A good relationship with your local banker can help as she will alert you to savings when they become available. Customer service representatives can examine your banking patterns and suggest the best one for you.

4. Avoid overdrafts. Overdraft fees and other charges related to insufficient funds made up 61 percent of all service charges on consumer deposit accounts, according to a report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Purchase overdraft protection or add a “cushion” amount. If the minimum balance is $500, put in $1,000, but record available funds as $500. Online services from places likeMint.com can alert you by email when the account is approaching a danger level.

5. Try online banking. Often fewer fees are associated with online banking. The overhead the bank experiences is much less when you are not there in person, so they don’t need to charge a fee.

6. Consider a credit union or community bank. These smaller institutions offer the relationship banking that is often not a priority in larger commercial banks.

7. Bundle your banking. Sometimes signing up for services like online banking, paperless statements and direct deposit can lead to free checking and savings accounts.

8. Use direct deposit. Many checking accounts are free when your paycheck or benefits check is automatically deposited each month.

9. Keep multiple accounts at your bank. Many are looking at the entire customer relationship and may offer free services if you maintain checking and savings accounts with them, for example.

10. Use your bank’s ATMs. If you must use an ATMnot affiliated with your bank, take out larger withdrawals to avoid having to go back multiple times.

11. Sign up for email or text alerts. Ask for an automatic alert when your balance falls below a certain level.

12. Ask for mercy. If you’re a first-time offender, ask the bank nicely to waive the fee, then learn from your mistake.

13. Mix and match. An astute customer will find the best deal at each bank using a larger bank for commercial loans and a community bank or credit union for personal banking.

However, don’t spread yourself so thin that you have trouble keeping track of all your accounts.

How Spinal Decompression Works at The ProMED Pain Rehabilitation Institute The ProMED Method™ combined with FDA cleared computerized disc decompression utilized at the ProMED Pain Rehabilitation Institute are considered by many doctors to be the most advanced and successful non-surgical, non-injection treatment of disc and spine conditions. Even when medical chiropractic and/or therapy did not help.

These proprietary, trademarked pre and post decompression treatment methods allow for much higher success rates versus only utilizing the decompression table because they increase hydration, flexibility, relaxation of muscles and ligaments, improved muscle/core strength, balance, and posture – causing a more effective and lasting treatment.

The clinical results are nothing short of outstanding.

Studies conducted thus far have been extremely positive and virtually no side effects. A study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery 81-350353 1994 suggests that significant negative disc pressures are achieved with decompression. And this is what causes the increased intake of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the vertebral disc area thereby promoting healing of the herniated or degenerated disc from the inside out.

Waterleaf a fine dining treat GLEN ELLYN – Don’t let the community college campus setting fool you. On a recent Saturday night, we stepped into Waterleaf and discovered a visual treat before even seeing the menu.

Part of the school’s culinary center, the stunning space is used by students Mondays and Tuesdays, but morphs into a professional operation Wednesday through Sunday.

Upon venturing inside, we received a warm greeting from the manager, who offered us a table along the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water. As we contemplated a beverage, we noticed the glassed wine cellar off the dining room holding the in-depth wine list’s international selection.

My sorbet arrived with three homemade scoops: fresh pear, blackberry and apple, accompanied by ripe berries and a melt-in-your mouth cookie with slivered almonds.

We enjoyed the sweet finish to our meal, and look forward to a return to Waterleaf for a special night out.

It’s worth noting the restaurant is near the school’s McAninch Arts Center, where touring acts and local talents show off their chops. When its $35 million renovation is completed, dinner and a show sound like a tempting combination.

The Mystery Diner is a newsroom employee at Suburban Life Media. The diner’s identity is not revealed to the restaurant staff before or during the meal. Only positive dining experiences will result in published reviews.

DGS leaders Passing: Jordan Skach 10-of-13, 198 yards, 4 TDs Rushing: Alec Arvanitakis 16-114, 2 TDs; Le’Devin Smith 7-46, TD Receiving: Javon Turner 7-169, 4 TDs

the Mustangs’ next possession.

After South defensive lineman Caleb Konney intercepted his first of two passes to set up a short field, Mustangs’ quarterback Jordan Skach found Turner in the end zone for another score. Turner finished the first half’s scoring with a 53 yard catch-and-run for a touchdown.

Though the Mustangs’ offense stole the show, Turner was quick to praise the defense.

“I was really proud of the defense. They really stepped up this week,” he said. “(Willowbrook) scores 40 points a game. We held them to 14, so props to them.”

The Mustangs added two more touchdowns in the second half – a run by Arvanitakis and a pass by Skach – before putting in backups and running out the clock.

Warriors wide receiver Joe Catanese caught a 44yard touchdown before the end of the third quarter for the Warriors’ only other score.

Molinari said that until Friday, the Mustangs had not played a full game all year, where the offense and defense both did well.

“This was the first game that both played what Sarah Minor - sminor@shawmedia.com they’re capable of doing,” he Downers Grove South’s Alec Arvanitakis looks for running room during Friday’s win over Willowbrook. The win said. vaulted the Mustangs into first place in the conference.

DGR

VILLA PARK – With the top spot in the conference up for grabs, Downers Grove South’s football team went out and claimed it.

The Mustangs raced out to a 35-7 lead at the half on the way to a 46-14 victory over Willowbrook.

It was a matchup between two teams with unbeaten records in the West Suburban Gold conference, and with the win, South is in the driver’s seat to claim the conference title.

“Our number one goal is to win the conference and we have not completed that yet,” said Mustangs coach Mark Molinari. “But Willowbrook was undefeated in conference too, so we treated this like a conference championship game.”

The Mustangs (4-3 overall, 4-0 WSG) gained their big first-half lead through a balanced attack of three passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns.

Wide receiver Javon Turner accounted for all three of the first-half receiving touchdowns, including a 65-yard score he broke free on that gave the Mustangs a 7-0 lead.

“I just saw the DBs out of position and made the most of it,” Turner said.

The Warriors (5-2, 3-1) tied up the game on the next possession, with wide receiver Hayden Adams catching an 11-yard touchdown, but after a failed onside kick by the Warriors, the Mustangs scored after five rushing plays – the first four by running back Alec Arvanitakis and a touchdown scored on a 15-yard run by running back Le’Devin Smith.

North’s Leto leads team past York

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – With starting quarterback David Edwards out for the second straight game, it was next man up for Downers Grove North’s football team.

That next man was Kyle Leto. It was Leto who proved to be the key difference-maker during the Trojans’ 28-7 victory over York on Friday as he rushed for 160 yards and three touchdowns, including a 40-yard run to open the scoring and a 55-yard dash later in the game.

“It was great to see Kyle get [more] involved in our offensive game plan,” Downers Grove North head coach

Downers Grove N. 28 York 7 North 2013 averages Points per game: 23.2 Points allowed per game: 11.7 John Wander said. “He has big-play potential and is capable of contributing on a regular basis.”

Leto’s performance and North’s win, which improved its record to 4-3 overall and 1-3 in the West Suburban Silver, was especially crucial for a team trying to run the table and secure a playoff berth.

With their backs against the wall, the Trojans reeled

off their second consecutive win in convincing fashion on Friday, riding a dominant ground game en route to the victory. Edwards did not play after suffering a leg injury during a Week 5 loss to Lyons Township. In his absence, Vontae Diggs and Sebastian Calvino have split time under center.

Lined up as a wing back in the Trojans’ triple-option formation, Leto gave North a 7-0 lead in the first quarter when he took a pitch, split the defense and sprinted 40 yards for a touchdown.

Later in the first half, two way starter Diggs padded the Downers Grove North lead, capping off a long drive with a 9-yard touchdown run.

In the second half, Leto added two more touchdowns, including a 55-yarder and a 1-yard plunge which put the game out of reach.

“It seems like we are finding guys to step up in key moments,” Wander said.

“Last week, it was Sebastian [Calvino], this week it was Leto.”

Wander added that, even after three straight losses in September, the team never gave up or got down on themselves.

“We were happy to see the calendar turn to October,” Wander said. “But their mood was always positive – they put in a lot of work at practice and we are now seeing the results.”

No momentum as Westmont falls to Lisle

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com LISLE – Westmont’s football team could not maintain any momentum gained from its first win of the football season.

Following a 42-13 victory over Dwight on Oct. 4, the Sentinels were shut out during their successive rivalry matchup against Lisle.

Neither Westmont’s defense nor its offense – which totaled a little more than 100 yards – could establish a footing as the Lions ran away with a 28-0 victory on Friday.

Westmont fell behind early in the game. On its third play from scrimmage, Sentinels’ quarterback Tim Doll was intercepted on the Westmont 31-yard line. Lisle needed only two plays to capitalize, as running back Cliff Krause scampered 24 yards into the end zone. A depleted Sentinels offense never recovered from the opening turnover, and first-year Westmont head coach Otto Zeman said mistakes and an inability to finish ultimately decided the game.

“We just didn’t get up for the postponed start,” Zeman said, referring to the kickoff,which was delayed over an hour because the sophomore game ran late. “We

Lisle 28 Westmont 0 Westmont 2013 averages Points per game: 18.2 Points allowed per game: 38.4 have some banged up receivers and were unable to make plays and finish drives.”

But the Sentinels had multiple opportunities to come back in the first half.

Midway through first quarter, Westmont faced a critical fourth-and-goal play inside the Lions’ 5-yard line.

Doll – lining up in the shotgun – scrambled to his right and fired a pass to an open receiver, who bobbled and dropped what could have been the game-tying score.

Then, after the Westmont defense forced Lisle to punt from inside of its own 20, the Sentinels’ offense started a drive at midfield. However, the series lasted only a few plays as Doll’s deep pass attempt was again intercepted.

Trailing 14-0 at halftime, the Sentinels could not generate enough offense coming out of the locker room for the second half.

“It’s disappointing because the performance comes a week after probably one of our better efforts of the sea-

Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com

Westmont’s Tim Doll (left) breaks up a pass intended for Lisle’s Alan Kass in the end zone during Friday’s game at Benedictine son,” Zeman said. “But we still have the opportunity to end on a high note and that will be the goal going forward.”

Westmont will end the 2013 campaign with Friday’s home game against Coal City followed by a road contest against Peotone in Week 9.

SD • Wednesday, October 16, 2013 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

The soccer postseason begins on Friday for Class 3A with regional quarterfinals.

Downers Grove North and Downers Grove South begin play next week in a regional semifinal – against each other – with the hopes of starting a long postseason run to Lincoln-Way North, home to the state finals.

Downers Grove North Regional: Lyons Township Sectional: Hinsdale South First Game: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 vs. No. 5 Downers Grove South Outlook: It’s been a frustrating 2013 season for Downers Grove North boys soccer.

The Trojans won back-to-back games against Loyola Academy and Hinsdale South in September, then went on a 10game winless streak and finished the regular season with a 3-12-3 record. But the team is battle tested, playing heated matches in October against stiff competition such as Morton, Hinsdale Central and Lyons Township, three of the top four seeds in the sectional.

Now, the postseason brings new opportunity for the No. 12-seeded Trojans, who will open against their crosstown rival Downers Grove South.

The two faced off in an Oct. 3 matchup – a tightly contested, 1-0 Mustangs’ victory that was called-off midway through the second half due to inclement weather.

Recently, the defensive unit – lead by captains Jake Mauer and Tony Zea – has contained some of the area’s top scoring threats. But, in order for North to exact some revenge and make a deep playoff run, the Trojans’ forwards will need to consistently find the back of the net.

Downers Grove South Regional: Lyons Township Sectional: Hinsdale South First Game: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 vs. No. 12 Downers Grove North Outlook: In spite of some inconsistencies on its home turf, Downers Grove South’s boys soccer team enters the playoffs as a No. 5 seed and with a matchup against rival Downers Grove North.

Downers Grove South’s Mike Flores (middle) kicks the ball as Downers Grove North’s Miles Larson (left) and Brett Pyburn close in during an Oct. 3 game at South.

The Mustangs posted a 3-31 record at home, but excelled on the road, going 6-3-1 with victories that included Proviso East, Hinsdale South and Glenbard East. Additionally, the Mustangs posted the best record at the Hinsdale Invite in September, coming in second as a result of a tie-breaker.

The solid play of senior keeper Nick King has spread throughout the Mustangs’ roster. King has recorded five shutouts this season and will be the key to a Downers Grove South playoff run.

Benet Regional: Hinsdale South

Sectional: Hinsdale South First Game: 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 vs. No. 16 Hinsdale South or No. 19 Kenwood Outlook: After one of the finest seasons in school history, Benet’s boys soccer team is eyeing a deep playoff run.

With two games left in the 2013 campaign (Oct. 16 at Proviso West and Oct. 18 at St. Viator), the Redwings currently sit at 14-3-1 and can clinch a East Suburban Catholic Conference title by knocking off Saint Viator on Friday in Arlington Heights.

Benet lost its second game of the regular season, but then went 10-0-1 in its next 11 contests. Senior forward

Michael Rindler has paced the Redwings offense, scoring goals in six out of the last eight games, including a hat trick during a 3-3 draw with West Chicago on Sept. 23.

Flanked by forwards Eddie Manzke and Kyle Kenagy, Rindler and the Redwings offense wreaks havoc on opposing defense – winning possession battles, controlling the ball and scoring goals. As long as the offense keeps up its torrid pace, the Redwings will be a tough out come playoff time.

Westmont Regional: Lisle Sectional: Chicago Chris-

tian

First Game: 7 p.m. Tuesday vs. No. 1 Montini Outlook: After notching its only win of the season again Reed-Custer on Sept. 19, Westmont has struggled mightily, going 0-6. In the final game of the regular season against Sandwich, Westmont lost 3-2 in double-overtime.

The Sentinels entered the playoffs as a No. 4 seed and were scheduled to face top seed Montini on Tuesday night. A win in that game would put them into the regional championship game at 4 p.m. Friday against either Lisle or Chicago EPIC Academy.

DG North swimmers dominate two dual meets

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK GABBY SIMS

Downers Grove North| Senior | Swimming Why Sims was selected: Sims took first in three individual swimming events in back-to-back meets, propelling the Trojans to dual meet wins over Glenbard West and Downers Grove South.

Three-time state champion Gabby Sims is again dominating in the pool for Downers Grove North. The senior – who excels in the 100-yard freestyle, 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly – took first place in three individual races and helped the freestyle and medley relays to multiple victories in dual meets against Downers Grove South and Glenbard West.

How do you feel a little over half way through the season?

So far, I’m feeling really good. The team has put in a lot of hard work at practice and it is showing in our dual meet results. I am also doing a lot of new and challenging exercises out of the pool. The team lifts weights and I am also running and circuit training to improve my conditioning.

What is your favorite event

and why?

I like the 100 freestyle because it isn’t hit or miss and one mistake won’t kill you. It’s just long enough – a good medium between the 200 and 50 freestyles. I think the 100 free is my most dominant event as well.

How do you stay motivated when you have already accomplished so much?

For me, it is about honing in on that one thing I can do better. This season, I want to get a 100 freestyle record and that’s what I’m working towards.

But we are also a team, and I want to help my team earn a top-3 finish at state because I know that we have the talent win a trophy. You need to find ways to keep pushing forward.

It’s all about staying motivated and finding ways to better yourself as a swimmer and a person.

This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Friday night sights SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA VILLA PARK – It was a road game against a tough opponent with plenty at stake, and Downers Grove South’s football team rose to the challenge.

South traveled to take on Willowbrook on Friday in a game that pitted the only two unbeaten teams that remained in the West Suburban Gold conference. It was the visiting Mustangs who left unscathed with a huge 47-14 win and took pole position in the race for the conference title.

The Mustangs built up a big halftime lead, 35-7, and coasted to the win over the final 24 minutes. The lead was so substantial that most of South’s starters were able to rest in the second half as the reserves got their chance to shine.

Will Bears face 2012 or ’13 version of RG3?

Hub Arkush

The Washington Redskins are 1-4 with one of the worst defenses in the NFL. And while they pile up yards on offense, they’re not particularly good at putting points on the board.

Like the Bears, they struggle with time of possession. But unlike the Bears, they don’t have many players who scare you.

Perhaps none are the complete package, but Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall and Martellus Bennett are all players the opposition has to scheme for because they know they can beat them.

Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris were those guys last year as rookies, but they haven’t been to date this year.

Offensively for the ’Skins, that’s it.

Pierre Garcon is their leading

receiver, but he’s really just an average-to-good wideout. Santana Moss was one of those guys for a number of years, but these days he’s just another target.

Leonard Hankerson, Jordan Reed, Josh Morgan, Logan Paulsen, Fred Davis ...

OK, but most teams can handle them.

That group collectively has piled up some yardage, it just hasn’t had the igniter to allow them to make a difference. If RG III and/or Morris suddenly become that guy/igniter again as they were last year, then the Bears could have some problems on their hands.

Defensively Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Barry Cofield and DeAngelo Hall will, at times, remind you of Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman and the Julius Peppers we once knew. The last time these two clubs met, Hall picked off Cutler four times. But most of the time, they’ll remind you of the Bears’ defense we’ve come to know this year.

In spite of a few great players, the Redskins’ defense gets pushed all over the field, leaving the team needing to get into a shootout and

have the ball last in order to win.

Worse than 1-4, the only loss the Redskins were really competitive in was against the Lions. The Eagles, Packers and Cowboys games were not as close as the scores indicate.

Washington’s one win actually was on the road, but beating Oakland anywhere is hardly something to build a season on.

Sunday’s game will be the first time the ’Skins have played at home since Sept. 22 versus the Lions, and that was the one loss the Redskins were competitive in. In fact, they would have won the game were it not for a bushel full of mental errors not indicative of a Mike Shanahan-coached team.

What the Bears have to worry about is if Griffin finds himself and brings Morris along for the ride.

Griffin was a Pro Bowl quarterback last year with a 102.4 passer rating and 20 touchdown passes against only five interceptions. He also rushed 120 times for 815 yards, a 6.8 average and seven more touchdowns.

Today, his passer rating is 21 percent lower at 80.4, and he’s on pace to rush for only 480 yards. He’s thrown for only six touchdowns and has yet to score on the ground.

Of course, a great deal of the fall off is due to his recovery from a torn ACL he suffered in the Redskins’ wild-card game last season.

Perhaps Griffin’s woes have allowed defenses to take away Morris, who rushed for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns last year, but is on pace for only 1,200 yards this season and nine touchdowns.

The Bears’ biggest concern should be the Redskins’ pass rush, which is seventh in the NFL with 16 sacks.

While the Bears have been very good protecting Cutler, if the Redskins force them to struggle, it could disrupt the flow of the offense and lead to turnovers like the last time these two met.

That said, this appears to be a good matchup for the Bears. If both clubs play to their 2013 form, the Bears should go to the bye at 5-2.

dreaded “Q” is the scourge of fantasy owners. I wish there were a simple rule for how to handle the “Q,” but there is not.

Remember, a player listed as questionable supposedly has a 50 percent chance of playing. If true, then a historical analysis of questionable players should prove that half actually played and half did not. Has such an analysis been done? According to a Google search – part of my extensive research for this column – it has not.

Although I did not conduct a historical analysis, I did

take a look at fantasy players listed as questionable on the Week-Six injury report. Questionable players who failed to take the field last week included Michael Vick, Rob Gronkowski, Stevie Johnson, Mike Williams and Zach Miller.

The list of questionable players who did play was more extensive. It included Larry Fitzgerald, Marshawn Lynch, Calvin Johnson, Darren McFadden, Greg Jennings, Brandon Myers, Martellus Bennett, Jacoby Jones, CJ Spiller, and a lot more.

Based on a very small sample, it would seem that “questionable” is closer to “probable” than it is to “doubtful.”

Unfortunately, different NFL coaches approach the injury report with different perspectives. Some coaches try to provide an accurate and honest picture of their injury situations, and others … well, others are Bill Belichik and

Pete Carroll. Belichick and Carroll treat the injury report the way the fast-food clerk you insulted treats your food.

I believe Tom Brady appeared on 1,400 consecutive injury reports without ever missing a game. Marshawn Lynch has appeared as questionable on the last few reports, but there’s never been any real consideration of holding him out. Conversely, Vick was listed as questionable in Week Six, but there was never any chance that he would play.

So, you play a “P” and you sit a “D” but what should you do with a “Q?” Review the practice reports. If a player is practicing, he’ll likely play. Your last line of defense is to consult your favorite website or television show just before game time.

Most sites and pre-game shows now include to a list of active and non-active players.

Selecting the right lineup for your fantasy team can be a frustrating endeavor. How many times have you cringied because the player you decided to bench had a career day?

(If you sat Vernon Davis in Week Six, I feel your pain.)

Trying to determine the best matchup is tough enough (Hmmm … Tony Romo at Philadelphia or Philip Rivers at Jacksonville?). But perhaps the biggest hurdle to setting the optimum lineup is deciphering the NFL injury report.

The injury reports have been in existence since 1947, when Commissioner Bert Bell implemented them as a means to eliminate insider information. In 2004, the reports were augmented to include each player’s participation level in practice, with those reports

being filed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The NFL has a rating system for injured players that specifies their probability of playing in a game: • Out - the player will not play; • Doubtful - 75 percent chance the player will not play; • Questionable – 50 percent chance the player will play; • Probable - 75 percent chance the player will play.

Although my mother-inlaw does not listen to me (and why should she, her team is 5-1), I gave her a simple trick to help her understand the injury report: “D” (doubtful) means do not play, and “P” (probable) means play. It is extremely rare for a probable player to be held out. It is just as improbable that a doubtful player gets onto the field.

“Questionable,” on the other hand, is a crapshoot. The

Learn to read a dictionary The first thing you need to know when looking up the definition of a word is the correct spelling. Words in dictionaries are listed in alphabetical order and are separated by chapters for each letter. If you aren’t sure how to spell something, knowing the first letter of a word is a good start.

But once you find the word, how do you know what it means and how to use it?

Here are common elements you’ll see described in a dictionary entry: 1. spelling: The main word is usually bolded. This will have the most common spelling of the word.

2. part of speech: Is it a noun, an adjective, pronoun, adverb or other part of speech? Knowing the part of speech will let you know how to use the word correctly.

Webster went on to create more dictionaries, including “An American Dictionary of the English Language,” which was one of the most important dictionaries ever published because of how completely it captured the varied language of our young country.

Webster’s legacy still lives on in Merriam-Webster dictionaries, which are found in libraries, homes and schools all over the country, as well as online.
