Closing quarry could cause more problems Even if more research finds the quarry is a hotbed for seismic activity, shutting it down won’t necessarily be the right response. “Some of the cases we’ve had, the quarries have been shut down for several years. In some cases, the shutting down of the quarry may have exacerbated the problem,” said Jim Dewey, geophysicist at the USGS’ National Earthquake information Center in Colorado. In one example, a quarry that had been shut down (for reasons unrelated to earthquakes) was filled with water. Scientists hypothesized that the water lubricated a fracture underneath the earth’s surface and triggered shocks. “[Closing the quarry is] obviously something that people have to think about,” Dewey said. “The problem at present is that might actually make the situation worse.”

event. Also present was U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, who has requested a federal investigation of the incident. As of Nov. 13, about 50 La Grange residents had notified the village of damage reports filed with Hanson as a result of the earthquake. Should residents be on their toes for another quake? Given the similar incident that occurred Aug. 31, 2010 – which the USGS is now re-classifying as an earthquake, not a quarry blast, after Wednesday’s discovery – maybe. “I would not rule out the possibility of something similar to what happened Nov. 4 to happen in the future,” Dewey said.

McCOOK – It was an earthquake. The tremor that shook the western suburbs Nov. 4 seven seconds after a routine explosion at McCook’s Federal Quarry was an earthquake, not a quarry blast, the U.S. Geological Survey determined Nov. 13 after examining data from Hanson Material Service Corp., the company that conducted the blast. Hanson suspended blasting at the quarry after the incident and has yet to resume. Hanson spokesperson Jeff Sieg said the company would likely decide this week if and when to restart blasting, which it typically conducts every few days. “We don’t have any reason to believe that we won’t resume blasting soon,” Sieg said. “We just haven’t made the decision to do that yet.” Until Nov. 13, USGS scientists thought the incident, which caused minor damage to nearby buildings and was felt as far as Wisconsin and Indiana, was caused solely by the quarry blast, based on data collected by the agency’s nearest seismograph, about 27 miles from the quarry. A Nov. 13 meeting in Colorado started with USGS scientists at odds with Hanson’s stance that the tremor was not caused by its blast alone. But after examining more precise data taken by Hanson’s instruments at the quarry, the USGS determined that the blast and tremor were separate events, the second a 3.2-magnitude earthquake. Case closed, right? The short answer: Not even close. Scientists still think the blast and

earthquake were related, considering the rarity of seismic events in the Chicago area. “The working hypothesis is this shallow seismic event is somehow associated with the quarrying process and that it was somehow triggered by this very small explosion,” said Jim Dewey, geophysicist at the USGS’ National Earthquake information Center in Colorado. “It’s very likely [the events were connected] just because it would be such an extraordinary coincidence otherwise.” On first look, what happened Nov. 4 in McCook appears to be so unique, according to Dewey, that he estimates it will take several years to figure out what exactly happened, in addition to what should be done about it. Dewey said he could think of only five or six cases since the mid-1970s in the world where quarry activity was linked to an earthquake. “We’re sort of in the awkward position of being in effect a doctor diagnosing some weird illness that we don’t really know how best to treat,” he said. The USGS is considering installing its own seismographs at the quarry to help determine whether “micro earthquakes” are occurring there regularly, Dewey said. If so, seismographs would allow scientists to locate the quakes’ origins to within 30 meters, information that could allow quarry operators to adjust operations to prevent triggering shocks, Dewey said. “The question is, ‘what’s causing this and can it be mitigated?’” he said. Representatives from La Grange, Countryside and McCook met with Hanson officials Tuesday regarding the

It’s Your Money By Linda Sokol Francis, E.A. IS $1 MILLION ENOUGH? How much money do you need to retire on? What’s the magic number that would make you feel secure? Some say you need 85 percent of your preretirement income, including Social Security benefits. Various experts call for final salary times eight or eleven or more. Time was, a $1 million nest egg sounded like a lot, but $1 million isn’t what it used to be. Yet that’s more than 9 in 10 American families have been able to put away. The old rule of thumb was that a retired couple could safely withdraw 4 percent of their holdings each year. Older people were advised to put more of their capital into safe, risk-free bonds. Today’s interest rates are not high enough to allow a 4-percent drawdown each year, and bonds are more risky than stocks right now. Not-yet-retired savers may need to adjust their portfolios. Retirees will need to adjust their withdrawals. And everyone will depend more on Social Security.

BROOKFIELD – This year’s Brookfield Holiday Walk will feature traditional events, including an appearance from Santa Claus and the lighting of the town Christmas tree, as well as a new scavenger hunt for children. Village Trustee Michelle Ryan said the new scavenger hunt will have village children going to 16 participating businesses to search for holiday wreaths. Each time they find a wreath, which were made by students at the Alphabet Learning Center, they will receive a stamp on their “Hunt Sheet,” which can be downloaded and printed from the village or Brookfield Chamber of Commerce website. “It’s been a great cooperative effort between the chamber and village,” Ryan said.

ital spending in 2014 and can afford to do so through careful planning and a gradual tightening of the budget during the past few years. Village President Kit Ketchmark said he asked the staff to start the budgeting project several weeks earlier than usual this year. Sbiral said that the village is projected to end the 2013 budget year nearly $2,000 in the black. He said the village made more money on property taxes than expected, which helped to pay unforeseen expenses, such as those resulting from heavy storms in April that compelled the village to pay workers overtime.

BROOKFIELD – Eric Rodzankas said he is lucky to be alive after a driver sped past him as he crossed the street outside his home. “My dog and I were crossing the street. [The driver] accelerated and went around me. I leaned back or else he’d have hit me,” Rodzankas said. “My dog was crushed.” Rodzankas said the man who killed his dog was one of many reckless drivers he has seen cutting through side streets off of 47 th Street to avoid traffic jams at 47th Street and East Avenue. “Across the street we have an apartment building with a lot of kids,” said Rodzankas, who lives in the 4600 block of DuBois Boulevard. “My dog was just playing with them. It could’ve been a kid.” Rodzankas was one of many residents who voiced their opinions on a plan to restrict access to certain side streets along 47th Street during peak hours at a public meeting of the Board of Trustees on Nov. 11. Brian Duffy, who also lives on the 4600 block of DuBois Boulevard, said the high volume of cars buzzing through his block makes him fearful for the safety of his wife, who is legally blind. “Something has to be done

before someone gets hurt,” Duffy said. The long freight trains that crawl past the intersection of 47 th Street and East Avenue seem to encourage people to cut through, Duffy said. “It is absolutely ridiculous whenever there is a train. Cars just come flying down the street with no regard for traffic signals, cars or people whatsoever,” he said. Despite agreement that something should be done to stem the tide of traffic down the side streets along 47 th Street, the discussion at the meeting made it clear that there are many variables to consider before enacting an ordinance. Local businesses along 47th Street have expressed concern that restricting traffic would be detrimental to their business. “I know that is a problem,” Melanie Kosar, owner of Swan Cleaners, said at the meeting. “I’ve worked there since 1987 – it is a bad intersection I agree – but let’s just not forget there is a business on that corner.” Swan Cleaners is primarily accessible by first turning from 47th Street onto DuBois Boulevard, making an outright ban on all traffic down the street during peak hours harmful to Kosar’s business. “I would love to work with our neighbors to solve this problem, but we can’t forget there is a business there that employees Brookfield residents,” Kosar said. Village Manager Riccardo Ginex said that his offices had received similar concerns from other businesses along the busy street that might be affected by completely closing northbound traffic from 47 th Street onto roads like Blanchan Avenue, DuBois Boulevard, Deyo Avenue, Raymond Avenue, or Arthur Avenue. During the discussion, Village Attorney Richard Ramello was asked whether the village could put up signs on 47th Street restricting traffic only to local drivers, or only to only those driving on the side streets with the intention of going to the businesses along 47th Street. “It becomes a practical issue

vent this from happening,” Ketchmark said. “Whatever we do it should be as clear as can be to people that they are not supposed to be going down that street at that time.” Ginex said the village may seek the opinion of a consultant on the best way to proceed. Until an ordinance that addresses the problem is passed, Trustee Michael Garvey said the police department would try to step up enforcement in the area to catch people breaking the speed limit. The board may discuss or vote to adopt the plan at their next meeting.

hese next few months include the time of year where many of us are in larger groups and noisier places than normal. With the carving of the turkey and the trimming of tree and other festivities, hearing our friends, family, music, and lively conversation can be the most cherished part of the holiday season. A person with hearing loss may not feel the same way. It can be a time of frustration, feeling let out, and isolation. Background noise can cause listening diiculty even for persons with normal hearing; so for persons with any amount of hearing loss, the diiculty is oten greater. If you will be spending time with a friend or loved one during the holidays that has hearing diiculties, here is a few tips to help them out: ~ Gain their attention before starting a conversation either through eye contact or a small tap on their arm. ~ Look at them directly when you speak without covering your face. ~ We all become excited when speaking, but be sure to speak just a bit slower and clearly. ~ he holidays can be a good time to have a thoughtful conversation on how hearing afects the family dynamics and how you don’t want them to miss out.

With the support of family and friends, a person with hearing problems may be more able to accept their need to get hearing loss treatment and may be more willing to take the irst steps to better hearing. If you are the one with the hearing diiculties, there are things you can do to help yourself. ~ First and foremost have your hearing evaluated BEFORE you are in those diicult situations to see if hearing devices would be a beneit for you. Most hearing loss is gradual over years of time, and many don’t realize how bad it has become until they are put in those group situations. Hearing devices are much better sounding and looking than they were before. ~ Try to pick the least noisy place to sit if possible. ~ Ask people to speak one at a time. ~ Ask for any background music to be turned down. Untreated hearing loss can leave you out of the laughter and conversation around you. Don’t let this holiday time be a time of frustration. Why not put a hearing evaluation on the top of your “to do” list this holiday season? Call your local audiologist for an easy and painless hearing evaluation.

RIVERSIDE – Police in Riverside arrested five juveniles and issued one with a citation for marijuana possession after police discovered a simple fort made of branches in the Cook County Forest Preserve near Riverside Brookfield High School that the students were using to smoke marijuana in. All the juveniles taken into custody were males between 15 and 16 years old and were from Riverside and North Riverside, according to police. Acting on a tip, police set up surveillance near the high school Nov. 8 at the school’s closing to watch for students going into the woods. An officer followed a group of teens into the woods and located a simple fort that had been built near Parkview Road and Forest Avenue. When the officer approached the teens, police said one ran off with a black box in his hands. Police said the teen and the box were both recovered and a small amount of marijuana was found inside. All five teens were transported to the police station. The four teens that did not run and were not in pos-

RIVERSIDE – Riverside Chief of Police Tom Weitzel has written an open letter to Dr. Terry Mason, chief medical doctor for the Cook County Department of Public Health, asking for his support to provide officers with Nylaxon, or a similar production, to administer when called to an opiate overdose. Nylaxon and similar drugs, sometimes called a “heroin antidote” can be administered as a stick pin or nasal spray and can stop the effects of an overdose of opiates like heroin. In the letter, Weitzel wrote that officers beat ambulances to overdose calls “at least 40 percent of a the time, when minutes can mean life or death.” He argues that officers today carry numerous enforcement tools inside their squad cars, such as radar and radiation detection units, and it is time for officers to also carry life saving overdose antidotes as well.

“I am a firm believer that the heroin antidote that we could carry on us will without a doubt save lives,” Weitzel wrote. According to the chief, Riverside, like other western suburbs and Chicago, has seen its share of heroin overdoses. According to Weitzel, officers have even responded to oversdoses in the village’s lockup facilities. When administered correctly, the antidote would have an effect as quickly as 30 to 60 seconds. Weitzel wrote the letter to Mason asking him to support or assist in issuing prescriptions that would equip every patrol car with at least two doses. Amy Poore, spokeswoman for the Department of Public Health, said her department generally supports officers have access to drugs like Nylaxon in their squad cars. The drugs would have to come from the local hospital the police department works with, though, she said.

A sign along 47th Street in La Grange near the McCook quarry warns of blasting going on at the site.

Are we seeing yet another manmade threat to our planet reveal itself in the western suburbs? Scientists deemed the Nov. 4 tremors an earthquake, but are confident the nearby quarry blasts played a role, perhaps even causing the 3.2-magnitude quake. Whatever the case, we hope there is a prompt and meticulous examination of what happened. A thumbs up to Riverside resident Tom Sisulak on his annual tree planting event, which will take place Nov. 23 in Riverside. Sisulak and volunteers will go around Riverside planting seeds – some of which will become the trees of the future in Riverside. We support his efforts and wish all those who participate good luck.

Perhaps you are a person who rolls out of bed each day and says to yourself, “Today is the day I make the world a better place!” If so, you will appreciate that Rotary-La Grange members have also said such a thing, and that on Nov. 4, they had a very, very good day. Following many months of meetings, many hours of collaboration and many dollars donated by area philanthropists, they unveiled their masterpiece: The Community Services Video Project. Complete with popcorn, the video premiere was acCOMMUNITY companied by heartwarming VOICE entertainment provided by Katherine the Helping Hand Bell Choir Leibforth and Dancers from the LeaderShop’s Watch My Feet troupe. While the Harvest Reception, hosted by The West Suburban Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Nonprofit Resource Committee, takes an opportunity each fall to recognize the collaboration among our communities’ business leaders, this year’s celebration marked the most complex mix of organizations and individuals in the event’s five-year tradition. The project was led by Rotary La Grange and supported by the Brookfield Rotary, Western Springs Rotary and Hinsdale Rotary. The video features 10 nonprofit agencies that are key service providers in the western suburbs. Each of the agencies in the video highlights how they can assist area residents in finding the services they need to live healthy, independent lives. Cindy Frymark, co-chair of the La Grange Rotary Community Service Committee, said, “The committee believed that while La Grange is not unique in facing the problems outlined in the video, we are unique in the way our community is addressing these issues.” Frymark, with co-chair Ken Grunke of Aging Care Connections, also identified numerous community leaders to speak to the necessity of the project. Greg DiDomenico, President of Community Memorial Foundation (CMF) was one of those leaders. CMF regularly advances its vision and mission of building healthier communities by partnering with local organizations and building on existing local assets. DiDomenico, and the video premiere itself, invited every one of the event’s 150 guests to “be the message,” a call to action that is extended to all of you reading this today. To be the message, like it on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pages/Rotary-Club-ofLaGrange. In this rare instance, making the world a better place is very easy. Just pass it on.

8SOUND OFF ‘Hooterville’ Every train that enters Downers Grove has an engineer who acts like he just got a new horn for his birthday. “Hoot-hoot, hoot-hoot” all day and all night. Residents should have a referendum on a name change for the village. I vote for “Hooterville.”

Thank you, Proviso Township I just want to say ‘thank you’ to Proviso Township for taking me to the doctor, to my eye doctor, at Loyola. I didn’t have to wait for my kids to find time for me and they were right on time and they were wonderful. They got me to Loyola and I got the shot in my eye and they picked me up 10 minutes after I called them and told them I was ready, and it was a wonderful service, and I want to thank Proviso Township transportation for my senior ride … I think more people should take advantage of this. They have wonderful other things, too.

Protect our children Great news! Congratulations to the Downers Grove Public Library! At its next monthly meeting on Nov. 20, the Library Board will consider policy changes that support a more effective, child-appropriate approach to Internet access. Computers in [the] children’s area will be equipped with filtering software designed to screen out age-inappropriate material, which will

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

be similar to that used in public schools. It would be great if folks from Westmont Public Library attend this meeting or get some training from public school ITs to learn which filtering software works well. Their excuse that past filters did not work properly and had to be removed will not convince us that they really did all they could to protect children behind computers. It is their responsibility to find a product that works. If schools can do it, so can a library. Our tax dollars are available for this purpose and we want our children to be safe in [the] library. It can be accomplished, so let’s hope that library staff will care enough and do the right thing.

Time will be the judge There has been a great deal of negative criticism and little support in this area for the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. Whether against it or for it, before we voice our opinion, it behooves us all to read the actual document itself, not blindly accept someone’s opinion with a biased position. As with Social Security and Medicare, there was a lot of controversy before they were enacted into law. Obamacare is no different. Time will be the judge as to whether it is beneficial or not.

Restaurant reviews

WOOW’s Japanese cuisine wows in La Grange LA GRANGE – At WOOW Japanese Restaurant in La Grange, the food is only half the experience. Located downtown, WOOW looks inconspicuous enough from the outside. A single overhead sign and dark windows do little to hint at what awaits beyond the restaurant’s doors. Once inside, I was greeted by a friendly hostess, and, since it was lunchtime and I was alone, was asked if I preferred a seat at the bar or a table. Personally, I get a kick out of watching my food be prepared, so I opted for one of the seats at the bar, behind which drinks are shaken and stirred and sushi is prepared. As I moved through the dining room, I couldn’t help but take in the visual experience around me. The walls are covered in animal prints – zebra and leopard mostly. Bright white chairs stand out next to black booths, while blue and red light bathes the space. In almost any direction, eyes are drawn to strands of twinkling lights. The result leaves more of an impression of a lounge. But WOOW is definitely a restaurant – and has the menu to prove it. The menu is largely dominated by sushi in the broad sense of the term, but more specifically split between rolls, sushi and sashimi. Sushi generally refers to seafood served rolled with rice and seaweed paper or seafood served on a bed of vinegared rice. Sashimi is just the fresh, uncooked seafood. To start, I ordered a plate of crab rangoon, perfectly crispy and filled with a good balance of cream cheese and crabmeat. I also ordered a plate of chicken fried rice. For those who are not ready to dive into the raw fish that largely makes up a sushi menu, there are plenty of offerings, ranging from fried rice to pad Thai and orange chicken. The fried rice was tasty, light and filled with fresh tasting ingredients.

A sushi chef prepares my meal behind the bar at WOOW in La Grange.

The Crab Rangoon appetizer at WOOW Japanese Restaurant in La Grange is big, crispy and well balanced in flavor. I would wholeheartedly recommend venturing into the sushi menu, though. WOOW specializes in it, and my server was happy to help guide me and answer questions. Wanting to experience a range of offerings, I opted for the sushi and sashimi combo lunch special, which offered a chef’s choice of items and came with a California roll (a no-seafood, avocado-filled offering). The sashimi pieces were fresh and very flavorful. The

California roll was good, too, but I was hooked by the beautiful cuts of red and white fish. Overall, WOOW succeeds as a spot for sushi lovers, and the atmosphere inside can certainly keep a conversation going at the table. My water glass was never low, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. With a range of options for diners of all tastes, and an affordable pricepoint, it’s definitely the kind of place where everyone can find something to their liking. The ambiance and lighting

Frugal gift wrapping ideas

Baskets are an often inexpensive alternative to wrapping paper.

H oliday shoppers spend billions of dollars each year on gifts for friends, family and coworkers. But holiday shoppers also spend substantial amounts of money dressing up those gifts with bows and wrapping paper. Shoppers may not want to spend much more on wrapping paper, bags and other ways to dress-up their gifts, and by employing a few tricks of the gift wrapping trade, they may not have to. The following are some frugal, yet flashy, ways to wrap presents this holiday season. * Children’s artwork: Over the course of a school year parents can accumulate dozens of original pieces of art from their children’s time in the classroom. Instead of relegating those pictures to a memory box or temporary glory on the refrigerator, turn them into unique gift wrap. Pair these pieces of art with colored ribbon, and everyone who gets a unique masterpiece will feel special. * Newspaper: Recycle newsprint and comics into wrapping paper. Encourage everyone to wrap in newspaper for a cohesive look come Christmas morning. * Cloth: Leftover cloth from Halloween or cloth purchased to create homemade curtains can be turned into giftwrap for awkward-shaped gifts. Use decorative ribbon to seal

the bundle shut. * Brown paper: Brown paper tied with twine or ribbon is inexpensive and can easily be recycled after use. Use a marker to put the names of gift recipients on each package to save on gift tags as well. * Glass jars: Use mason jars when wrapping smaller gifts, including gift cards, to give them an arts-andcrafts feel. * Fabric gift bags: If you’re handy with a needle and thread, sew sacks out of leftover fabric to make gift bags of various sizes. * Cookie tins: Find unique cookie tins from yard sales or leftover tins from holidays past and use them as gift boxes. * Recipes: If you will be giving a cookbook or food-themed gifts, print recipes that can be used as gift wrap and then later used to make certain dishes. * Baby linens: From blankets to wash cloths, use baby linens to wrap infant-themed gifts for new parents. * Baskets: Wicker baskets are available in various shapes and sizes. They can be used to make a gift collection and then reused over and over again. There are many creative and inexpensive ways to wrap gifts this year instead of relying on preprinted and often expensive wrapping paper.

(BPT) - As the holidays roll around, it’s natural to want to spread good tidings and cheer with festive decorations like wreaths, candy canes and Santa Claus figurines. But this year, instead of digging out the same old holiday decorations, why not create some new looks that will last the entire winter season, even after you put away the gift wrap and ornaments? Stimulate the senses Nothing says winter like the fresh smell of pine and the soft, warm glow of candle light. Repurpose simple glass bottles into an outdoorsy candlescape with Krylon Natural Stone Textured Finish spray paint. Available in eight colors, like Olivine, it goes on easy and gives you the natural beauty of stone and an elegant, professional-looking appearance. Once dry, wrap artificial garland with pinecones around the bottle’s neck or let the garland cascade down the bottle. Place pine tree-scented white taper candles in the bottle openings, light and enjoy for a fresh look and smell that will stimulate your senses well into 2014. Color works wonders Another easy way to excite the senses during a drab, gray winter is with pops of color. For a decorative display that lasts all season, avoid the red and green color combination associated with Christmas and branch out with more contemporary choices like teals, blues, purples and pinks. Metallics like silver and gold are also a great way to glitz up the season without looking like the North Pole in overdrive. Try Krylon’s ColorMaster Metallic in Gold to spice up old ornaments, vases, frames, centerpieces and

more in no time at all. Group spray-painted ornaments or pine cones in a hurricane vase or glass bowl and display on the mantel for added ambiance to any living room. Deck the halls Looking for a way to display the abundance of holiday cards from friends and family? Repurpose an old window shutter to create a unique display. Start by spray painting it with a festive shade, such as green or burgundy, which adds a touch of holiday spirit. Once dry, hang the shutter in the kitchen or entryway and place holiday cards in the slats of the shutter for a creative way to stay organized. Once the holidays have passed, you can still use the shutter to display birthday cards, thank you notes, party invitations and more all year long. Outdoor decor The inside of the home isn’t the only space you can be creative. Make a lasting statement before houseguests even step inside your home by focusing decorative attention to the outside. Line walkways and driveways with lights or faux miniature pine trees, and place white flameless candlesticks on each windowsill to add a simple touch of holiday spirit without going overboard. Prop a vintage snow sled outside the front door to welcome guests. So, this year instead of the same decorations, consider some fun and easy ways to re-beautify them into pieces that you’ll be proud to display throughout the winter season.

Wild

cards FLICKR

Think about what a gift card says before you give By Melissa Erickson More Content Now Giving a gift card as a present is one of the easiest gifts you’ll buy — but is it a good one? Appealing for hard-to-shop-for people, gift cards are not ideal for all. “The stigma of gift cards as impersonal, tacky gifts has changed over the years. When the economy took a nose dive, gift cards, especially practical gift cards, grew in popularity,” said Donna Montaldo, guide for coupons and bargains at About.com. Gift cards for gas, groceries or drug stores are smart picks for college students, young families or anyone who appreciates a useful and reasonable gift, she said. Why not just give cash? While some people feel cold, hard cash is a fine gift, “some people will not accept cash, but they will accept a gift card,” Montaldo said. “In my mind gift cards are the perfect gift for teenagers. They are notoriously finicky about what they like, and trends change like the weather,” said Leah Ingram, a frugal living and gift expert at SuddenlyFrugal.com. “So if you have to buy for a teen, a gift card to iTunes or a popular retailer like American Eagle is always a good bet.”

Make it special People who don’t appreciate gift cards might be the sensitive ones who take a lot of time and trouble to search out the perfect gift for you. When you turn around and hand them a gift card, it can seem impersonal, Montaldo said. To make a gift card seem more worthy, select them carefully and put some thought into it. “You could put a couple of gift cards with something else within a theme,” Ingram said. “Say you have a coffee lover on your list. Get a gift card to a nearby coffee shop, but package it with a travel mug and maybe a bag of coffee. Then the gift feels a lot less impersonal.”

Read the rules There are some downsides to gift cards. Some have activation fees or minimum required values that may be more than you’re willing to spend. They can be easily lost, and after a certain amount of time, they may lose value. The Credit CARD Act of 2009 changed how federal law regulates gift cards, but gift cards are also subject to state laws, Montaldo said. For example, funds on a

gift card may not expire for five years. ScripSmart.com is packed with pertinent information such as the state and federal laws applying to gift cards, gift card ratings and where cards are redeemable. Some cards are redeemable at multiple stores. For instance, an Old Navy gift card is good at any of the Gap brand stores including Piperlime, Athleta and Banana Republic.

If it’s really not your thing ... Be smart with your cards, too, Montaldo said. If you have a small amount left on the card, you can ask for cash back. Some stores will oblige. “Most stores have a threshold you have to spend, like 75 percent, and after that they may give you a refund,” she said. You can also sell your gift cards in some stores like CVS Pharmacy or at www.cardcash.com or www.cardpool.com for up to 92 percent of value. If possible, it’s best to give the recipient the receipt or at least let them know you have it, Montaldo said.

Unique gift ideas for the family globetrotter

“Where wishes do come true”

Holiday shoppers have a number of travel-themed options at their disposal when finding the right gift for that special someone who loves to travel.

passion for traveling leads many people to go abroad and experience other cultures or explore the sites closer to home. Those with an avid traveler in their midst can tie into this love of exploring and give travel-themed gifts. Gifting the family globetrotter is not always easy, however. Travelers tend to bring home mementos of their trips and make it seem as if they already have everything they need. Gifts purchased at the local store may seem to pale in comparison to more exotic trinkets. But gifting travelers doesn’t have to be difficult. The following gifts should make great gifts for your favorite adventurer this holiday season. * Travel journal: Many people love to document their trips, describing journeys to exotic locales or simply a family trip to a nearby campground. Travel journals make great gifts for those travelers who want more than just visual memories of their trip. Be sure to buy a journal that’s sturdy enough to handle all the bumps and bruises that accompany a nomadic lifestyle. Leatherbound or hardcover journals should suffice. * Travel kit: Travelers know the value of a good travel kit, which can help them freshen up during long layovers at the airport or once they arrive at their destinations. In addition, a travel kit allows travelers to pack some of the comforts of home, such as moisturizer, shaving gel or a particular type of toothpaste, that might not be readily available at their destinations. When gifting a travel kit, place some of those favorite products, such as travel-size mouthwash or some luxury moisturizing creams, inside the kit for a special gift-within-the-gift. * Noise-cancelling headphones: A set of noise-cancelling headphones is a gift no globetrotter should go without. These headphones reduce ambient noise and can make it easier to doze off comfortably on a flight or to enjoy a music playlist while sightseeing in a busy city. * Maps: Domestic travelers may be able to rely on their smartphones for directions, but overseas travelers may need to keep their phones off when traveling overseas to avoid heavy surcharges. In such instances, maps make great gifts, especially if you find out in advance where your special traveler will be visiting next and gift a map of that particular locale. * Gas card: For some, the joy of travel stems from getting behind the wheel and hitting the open road. If that’s true of your favorite travel afficionado, consider a gas card that can alleviate some of the cost of his or her next trip. Gift cards to filling stations can be purchased in just about any denomination, and your loved one will appreciate their free pass at the pump on their next road trip.

OFFICE OF THE COOK COUNTY TREASURER AND EX-OFFICIO COUNTY COLLECTOR OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS. Advertisement and Notice by Collector of Cook County of Application for Judgment and Order of Sale of Lands and Lots upon which All or a Part of the General Taxes for 3 or More Years are Delinquent, as provided by law.

COUNTY OF COOK, STATE OF ILLINOIS November 20 - November 21, 2013. NOTICE is hereby given that the said Collector of Cook County, Illinois, will apply to the County Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois on Friday, December 13, 2013, for judgment against all lands and lots hereinafter described as being parcels upon which 3 or more years of general real estate taxes remain due and unpaid along with interest and costs, and for an order of sale of said lands and lots in accordance with law. Final entry of said order will be sought on Monday, December 23, 2013. NOTICE is further given that in the event an order of sale is entered as provided above, on the 27th day of December, 2013, at the hour of 8:00 a.m., all said lands and lots hereinafter described for sale for which an order shall have been made, will be exposed to public sale at 69 W. Washington Street Lower Level Conference Room B, in Chicago, Illinois, for the amount of taxes, interest, and costs due thereon, respectively. The following is a list of delinquent properties in Cook County upon which the general taxes or any part thereof for 3 or more years remain due and unpaid; the name(s) of the owners, if known; the property location; the total amount due thereon; and the years for which the taxes are due.

Please note, where an “E” indicator appears immediately before a PIN in the column marked “CUR”, the real estate corresponding to said PIN may currently not be subject to taxation or may currently be owned by a governmental agency whose interest in the property may not be defeated by a tax deed. Where an asterisk appears immediately before a PIN in the column marked “CUR”, the real estate corresponding to said PIN may have been sold at a previous sale of delinquent taxes. In lieu of a legal description, each parcel of land or lot is designated by a Property Index Number (PIN). Comparison of the 14-digit PIN with the legal description of any parcel may be made by referring to records that are maintained in the various Cook County offices. The delinquent taxes on the parcels offered for sale are described solely by their Property Index Number (PIN), and NOT the common street address. Street addresses and classifications of the property listed on the sale list as of the date of sale are not guaranteed to be accurate. The Treasurer’s Office does not guarantee or assume responsibility of any kind, implied or otherwise, as to the accuracy of street addresses or property classifications, or as to the legal status or physical condition of the properties. It is the responsibility of each tax buyer to perform proper research to determine the property location, classification, nature, and condition of any property or improvements prior to the sale. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. With respect to parcels bearing an “E” (currently exempt) indicator, tax purchasers are encouraged to further investigate the taxable status of such a parcel before purchasing the delinquent taxes at the sale. When the tax sale of a currently exempt parcel is vacated, the final result may be a refund without interest. NO TAX BUYER IS ELIGIBLE TO OBTAIN A TAX DEED FOR ANY PROPERTY OWNED BY A UNIT OF GOVERNMENT. IF AND WHEN THE TAX SALE OF SUCH PROPERTY IS VACATED, THE RESULT MAY BE A REFUND WITHOUT INTEREST.

hether you’re a procrastinator who left it to the last minute or you’re proactive in planning for the unexpected, last-minute gift-giving doesn’t need to be difficult.

The key is to have something that will appeal to all sorts of people in a pinch. Check out the examples on this page.

• Baking basics are a recipe for holiday success • and utensils you need, line them up and get started. Prep pans per the recipe directions, such as greasing cake pans or covering cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to the required temperature. Since this can take 10 minutes or more, depending on the age of your oven, it’s a good idea to start the oven before you begin mixing ingredients. Never attempt to bake in an oven that hasn’t been preheated. Measure dry ingredients first and set them aside, then measure any “wet” ingredients such as oil, shortening, eggs or vanilla extract. Sifting dry ingredients improves the overall texture of baked goods and gets rid of any lumps. Pre-measuring helps ensure a smooth, uninterrupted process when it’s time to begin mixing ingredients together. Be sure to add ingredients according to the recipe, rather than dumping everything into the bowl at once. Cool for conclusion One of the most common - and worst - baking mistakes is impatience. Most baked goods require a cooling period before they can be safely removed from the baking pan, tray or sheet. Some recipes may specify the time needed to allow your cookies or

cake to cool, while others might simply advise you to wait until the item is cool to the touch. Rushing removal can result in breaking, crumbling, splitting and sticking - the kind of disasters no amount of icing can cover. After removing your holiday goodies from the oven, set them on a rack to cool and go

do something else. You’ll be happy you were patient when that fully cooled item slides easily out of the pan. Baking is an exact science - more so than savory cooking that allows room for improvisation. By following the basics, you can be assured of baking success.

Chewy Macadamia Nut Cookies Ingredients: 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened 2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract 2 eggs 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts Directions: Cream the butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on a medium speed until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, cream of tartar and cinnamon and mix well. Stir in the macadamia nuts. Chill for two hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an insulated cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Makes three dozen When preparing bakery items such as cookies, here’s a tip to enhance the flavor intensity of your product: cream the vanilla into the butter or shortening and sugar first. This step encapsulates the vanilla and helps prevent flavor loss in low mass/low moisture/high heat cookies.

dition. This year, add Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract to your pantry. Your holiday recipes will benefit from the complex and superior vanilla flavor provided by the Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract as it enhances and deepens the other ingredients in your baking. When buying ingredients it is important to remember that quality counts. Higher quality ingredients may be slightly higher in price, but you’ll likely need less of them. Keep these staples on hand in your pantry, and you’ll be ready to tackle any holiday recipe, whether tried-and-true or new and daring. Prep for performance Pre-cooking preparation will help ensure top kitchen performance. Before you dive into a new recipe, sit down at the kitchen table and read it - beginning to end - twice. Make two lists of ingredients; one for items you already have in your well-stocked pantry, and a second for items you’ll need to buy. Check to be sure you have the necessary bakeware. Nothing’s worse than having all your ingredients assembled only to realize you loaned your springform pan to your sister last year and never got it back. Once you have all the ingredients

HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE |

(BPT) - Whether your end-of-year festivities involve mistletoe and ho-hoho, a menorah and dreidel, or a kinara and seven colorful candles, holidays of all cultures seem to have one thing in common: baking. Food is an integral part of many celebrations, and whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or a family get-together, chances are there’s a baked good in attendance. Perhaps you’re thinking of trying your hand at some family recipes you’ve never made before, or want to experiment with favorites from other holiday traditions. Whatever dish you make this holiday season, these baking basics help ensure success: Stock the staples A variety of delectable ingredients is one of the many things to love about holiday baking, but some staples show up in many recipes. Plain white flour is the foundation of many holiday baked goods, so be sure to keep plenty on hand. Baking soda and baking powder are also frequent necessities, as are eggs and sugar (white, powdered and brown). While peppermint may be apropos for Christmas cookies and candies, and cinnamon and cloves impart ethnic flair to Kwanzaa recipes, vanilla is one flavor that appears in nearly every tra-

Come the holiday season, it can be easy to overlook certain things, like eco-friendly living, in an efort to make entertaining easier. he holiday season has become a time of excess, with large meals, an overabundance of presents and other wasteful measures. his year, environmentally conscious hosts can make an efort to make their celebrations more environmentally friendly. * Purchase locally made gits to reduce the amount of shipping required. his cuts down on materials used and fossil fuels that power planes or cargo ships needed to transport products made overseas. * According to the Environmental Protection Agency, roughly 40 percent of all battery sales take place during the holidays. Consumers concerned about the efect of batteries on the environment can give only battery-free gits. * Make your own gits. Not all gits have to be bought at the store. here are many meaningful gits that can be made by hand, and homemade gits cut back on potentially harmful production practices and transportation. * Rely on natural items when decorating your home. When decking the halls this holiday season, collect pine cones and holly from outdoors and make garlands from rafia or vines. hese materials can be put into compost heaps or ground up into mulch later on, reducing waste. * Cut back on lighting by reducing the number of lights you string up on your home and choosing energy-eicient lights. LED lights, which use up to 95 percent less energy than traditional bulbs, is another way to leave a smaller carbon footprint this holiday season. * Avoid especially lashly wrapping paper. Glossy or metallic wrapping paper is hard to recycle. Use paper made of natural ibers or select plain postage paper and dress up presents with reusable ribbons and bows.

Riverside Brookfield’s Angela Comicho puts up a shot as Rachel Malloy closes in during a Nov. 14 practice.

Bulldogs brace for new-look team By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com RIVERSIDE – It won’t be easy to match last year’s success for the Riverside Brookfield girls basketball team, but the Bulldogs still have talent. RB faces the task of replacing its top two scorers from last year, Hannah Claywell and Brittney JnoBaptiste, from a team that won 24 games and the Metro Suburban Conference title. The Bulldogs do return their leading rebounder and third-leading scorer from last year, junior forward Janae Dabney.

“It’s going to be difficult to parallel the success we had last year in terms of record,” RB coach Dallas Till said. “We’re different now. Everything is a little bit different and there’s a lot of new faces. We’re still trying to figure each other out.” In addition to Dabney, senior guard Caroline Waas and junior guard Miranda Chavez will be the captains on the team. Junior Angela Comicho also returns after seeing significant playing time last year. Till said the starting lineup could shift frequently during the first few weeks of

the season. An influx of youth will be competing for some of those starting spots. Three freshmen, guards Samantha Bloom and Lindsay Hoyd and 6-foot-5 Dana Rettke, should see the floor. Rettke’s height gives the Bulldogs a potential star inside, but Till said she is still thin and will have to learn to play strong in the paint. “We’re deep this year, but we’re also young with these freshmen,” Till said. “It’s a much different speed than they’re probably used to playing at. We need them to acclimate to this level right away.” Till isn’t sure if the team

has a player who can create her own shot like Claywell and JnoBaptiste could, but the improved depth and height can make up for that. RB will face stiff competition in the MSC from Glenbard South, which returns much of last year’s team that went 10-2 in the league, but Till said the atmosphere around the team has been positive. “They don’t really seem to let anything bother them,” he said. “They’re not afraid to work hard. There’s a very high level of team bonding. Everybody seems to get along. There’s no egos.”

Lyons Township’s Kayla Morrissey, right, dribbles the ball during a game last season. Morrissey is a part of a veteran trio expected to lead the Lions this season.

improving the little things. He mentioned role acceptance and playing harder and smarter as things that will determine how much the players improve this season. “It’s really important to me that each member of the team feels that they’re contributing,” Krick said. “For us to get our program to where it needs to be we’re really going to have to develop an attitude, an edge and a hunger to get better. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

LT, Fenwick net sectional titles SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Lyons Township heads into the state swimming meet with some momentum after the Lions won their own sectional on Saturday. They scored 287 points and had 14 entries qualify for state. All three relays qualified for state and freshmen Maggie Ferguson and Maeve Swinehart picked up sectional titles. Ferguson won the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:11.99 and also qualified in the 100 breaststroke. Swinehart won the 100 butterfly in 59.64 seconds and was a part of the 200 medley relay. Senior Lauren Rosenberger and sophomore Mackenna Dunn will have busy days at the state meet, which will take place Friday and Saturday at New Trier. Rosenberger qualified in both the 200 and 500 freestyles and competed in two relays. Dunn was also a part of two relays and qualified individually in the 100 and 200 freestyles. Divers Kimmy Vitek and Kelly Ryser qualified for state. Elizabeth Murphy and Kristen Young advanced in the 50 freestyle.

Fenwick The Friars took a big step towards winning a trophy at state by winning their own sectional and qualifying 18 entries to the state meet. All three of Fenwick’s relay teams won the sectional races. Individual winners were Grace Gibbons (200-yard freestyle, 500 freestyle), Paulina Kaminski (200 individual medley, 100 breaststroke), Mimi Scheider (50 freestyle, 100 butterfly), Ana Mullen (diving), and Maggie Sheean (100 freestyle). Kaminski had the fastest sectional time in the state in the 100 breaststroke. Schneider qualified with the second-fastest time in both the 50 freestyle and the 100 butterfly.

Riverside Brookfield Sydney Veon claimed a spot at the state meet by touching the wall in 1:07.76 in the 100-yard breaststroke in Saturday’s Lyons Township sectional. She was the only Bulldog to qualify for state. RB’s other highlight of the meet was the 200 medley relay team of Dana Callanan, Veon, Julia Keller and Hannah Flynn setting a school record with a time of 1:50.69.

Nazareth baseball trio signs with college teams SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LA GRANGE PARK – Three Nazareth Academy baseball players recently signed letters of intent to continue their careers in college. Timothy DalPorto (Westchester) signed with Kent State, Peter Minella (Western Springs) signed with Western Illinois, and Chicago resident Daniel Rybski signed an NAIA letter with the Indiana Institute of Technology.

DalPorto will enter his fourth year on the Roadrunners’ varsity this spring. He was an all-conference shortstop last year and has been a four-year varsity player. Minella is a two-year varsity player and won three consecutive playoff games last spring in Nazareth’s drive to a sectional championship. Rybski transferred to Nazareth from Mt. Carmel last year.

Rams’ playmakers among NFL’s best-kept secrets Hub Arkush

Get ready, Bears fans. You’re about to meet some of the best-kept secrets in the NFL. The Bears will face the St. Louis Rams in week 12, and while the sum of its parts is a pedestrian 4-6, there are some young studs on this ballclub who can do some real damage. On paper, this looks like a team the Bears should be able to handle. That’s what the Indianapolis Colts thought two weeks ago before the Rams stormed into Indianapolis and blew them off the field by a 38-8 margin. There are other danger signs. This will be only the second game the Bears have played indoors this year. Their first was in Detroit, where they played their worst game of the season, falling 40-32. The Rams will be the second team

the Bears have faced this year coming off a bye. The Lions came into Chicago for their second meeting after their weekend off and knocked off the Bears, 21-19. Let’s meet Tavon Austin. The Rams traded up eight spots in the first round of this year’s draft to take the 5-foot-8-inch, 176-pound mighty mite out of West Virginia, who, until the Colts game, appeared to be just kind of finding his way. In Indianapolis, he caught 57- and 81-yard touchdowns, and returned four punts for 145 yards, including a 98-yard touchdown. Think Devin Hester, but this guy can play wide receiver, too. St. Louis features a quartet of young running backs – Zac Stacy, Daryl Richardson, Benny Cunningham and Isaiah Pead. Stacy is the new No. 1, with 129 rushes and 537 yards, a 4.2 average and three touchdowns rushing. He also has caught 15 passes for 97 yards and one touchdown receiving. All four backs catch the ball out of the backfield. Richardson has been banged up, and Pead,

the highest draft choice of the four, is buried on the bench. The Rams struggle at receiver. Chris Givens is their No. 1 with 28 receptions and 463 yards for a 16.5 average. Beyond Austin, who has 33 receptions for 345 yards and four touchdowns, Austin Pettis and Brian Quick fill out this pedestrian group. While the Bears were recruiting Martellus Bennett in free agency, the Rams went shopping for Jared Cook. He has 33 receptions for 428 yards and three touchdowns. No. 2 tight end Lance Kendricks is a factor as well with 23 receptions, 172 yards and three touchdowns. Like the Bears, the Rams are in the hands of their backup quarterback, Kellen Clemens. With the franchise, Sam Bradford, out for the year with an ACL tear, Clemens has completed 46 of 86 throws, a 53.5 completion rate, for 634 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions and a 79.3 passer rating. He’s been OK, but nowhere near as effective as Josh McCown. Clemens may be the weak link right now.

The best matchup of the game will feature Jake Long, who is once again healthy and one of the best left tackles in the game, going head-to-head with Julius Peppers. Third-year player Robert Quinn is the NFL’s breakout defensive player of the year. Known as “Little Julius” at North Carolina – an ode to Peppers – before the Rams chose him with the 14th pick in the 2011 first round, Quinn already has 12 sacks and five forced fumbles. He is complimented on the other end by Kyle Long’s big brother, Chris, the second player taken in the 2008 draft. Chris Long has 6½ sacks, one forced fumble and two recovered. Linebackers James Laurinaitis and Alec Ogletree and defensive tackle Michael Brockers are three more first round picks, and Janoris Jenkins, who the Rams took with the 39th pick in the 2012 draft, are all playmakers. This is a big-play defense that is getting better every week. Bears fans best hope they aren’t catching it at the worst possible time.

By J.C. TALON Fantasy football writer

Week 11 Performance: 22 carries, 150 yards, one touchdown. Jennings is owned in less than half (44 percent) of ESPN leagues. Veteran fantasy players are familiar with Jennings – he has had multiple opportunities to fill in for current teammate Darren McFadden and previously for Maurice JonesDrew. Until recently, he never had failed to disappoint. In the past three weeks, however, he has averaged more than 18 points. In the next two weeks, Jennings has favorable matchups at home versus Tennessee and at Dallas. In weeks 14 and 15, things get tougher (at Jets and versus Kansas City). Verdict: McFadden’s return is not certain. Jennings is a decent stopgap for the next two weeks.

Bobby Rainey, RB, Tampa Bay Week 11 Performance: 30

Michael Floyd, WR, Arizona

carries, 163 yards, two touchdowns. Rainey, who was waived earlier in the year by Cleveland, is owned in only 2.2 percent of ESPN leagues. The general consensus was that he would split time with Brian Leonard. In the past two weeks, Rainey has asserted himself, and is clearly the more effective of the two backs. Verdict: Rainey likely will be the guy in Tampa the rest of the way. However, the Bucs’ schedule is brutal. Owners expecting a repeat of week 11 will be disappointed.

Week 11 Performance: Six receptions, 193 yards, one touchdown Until week 11, Floyd was averaging about six fantasy points per game. I was actually surprised to learn that he is owned in 63.3 percent of ESPN leagues. Those 63 percent must have known something, because Floyd went off for 27 points in week 11. The Cardinals have a favorable schedule the next four weeks, but face the Seahawks and 49ers in weeks 16 and 17. Verdict: Definitely worth a roster spot, Floyd is a decent No. 3 wide receiver or flex option the rest of the way.

Matt McGloin, QB, Oakland Week 11 Performance: 197 yards passing, three touchdowns If you are looking for a back-up quarterback, here’s one thing we know about McG-

loin: He’s available (owned in 0.2 percent of ESPN leagues). According to the scuttlebutt, McGloin will be given every opportunity to keep the starting job for the rest of the year. Verdict: Perhaps McGloin catches on and develops into a solid pro. He has no fantasy value this season, however.

Garrett Graham, TE, Houston Week 11 Performance: Seven receptions, 136 yards, one touchdown For those in need of a tight end, Graham is owned in about 20 percent of ESPN leagues. He erupted in week 11, scoring his first touchdown since week 5. Owen Daniels could return to the Texans this year, but, given the season Houston is having, it would make more sense to let him sit out the rest of the year. Verdict: Graham would be a nice play in week 12 against the Jags. His value after this week is negligible.

Week 11 featured a number of surprise breakout performers. Some, like Rashad Jennings and Michael Floyd, already were owned in many fantasy leagues. Although these unlikely stars were most often fantasy benchwarmers, owners wise (or lucky) enough to start them received a huge boost in week 11. Other breakout performers came from nowhere. These players, such as Bobby Rainey, most likely reside in waiver land, and are sure to be hot pick-ups this week. As we have learned over the years, one breakout performance does not ensure future productivity. Let’s review the unlikely fantasy stars from week 11, and try to separate the one-week wonders from those worthy of a spot on your roster.

HEALTH WATCH

WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Spine health The most common mistakes leading to a bad back are poor body mechanics and unhealthy habits. How you move objects, your posture, not stretching before exercising and wearing the wrong kind of shoes all can contribute to one of the most common medical problems today, with back pain affecting 8 out of 10 people in their lifetime, according to the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Douglas Won, founder and director of Minimally Invasive SpineCARE and Star Medical Center in Plano, Texas, offers some tips to improve overall back health: First, maintain proper body mechanics: n Stretch before exercising or doing any strenuous activity. n Push heavy objects across the floor instead of pulling or lifting them. n When lifting is necessary, lift with your knees, not your back. n Avoid sudden movements and “twisting” motions when carrying objects. n If you work in an office, check your chair and desk to make sure they are the right height for you. Your feet should touch the ground, your spine should be straight, your shoulders should be back and your hands should rest comfortably just above your waist. n Maintain good posture as often as possible. When standing, your weight should be balanced evenly on both feet to avoid straining your muscles and joints. n Wear proper footwear. Next, adopt healthy habits: n Don’t smoke: Smoking can restrict blood flow to vital spinal tissues, depriving them of oxygen and important nutrients, which decreases your body’s natural ability to heal. n Exercise regularly: The best programs for back health include core strengthening and cardiovascular exercises. n Lose weight: Excess weight can significantly increase back pain and cause back conditions such as herniated discs. n Reduce stress: When stressed, the body tightens its muscles. This can result in spasms, “muscle knots” and pinched nerves.

Wellness connected Insurers and employers join the website and app bandwagon By Ankita Rao Kaiser Health News

When Michelle Kuecker was looking to shed some weight two years ago, she turned to a website her friend had suggested: MyFitnessPal. The 26-year-old counselor started logging in her diet and exercise on a personal online account. She also shared the daily ups-and-downs with her sister and roommate, who were using the site. Six months later Kuecker reached her goal of losing 25 pounds. Consumers like Kuecker aren’t the only ones noticing the benefits of programs like MyFitnessPal, which also functions as a smartphone app. In September, the insurance company Cigna announced it will offer services from MyFitnessPal, which has reported more than 40 million users, to the insurer’s customers. “The goal here is to break down artificial barriers between most people and their insurance companies,” said Joe Mondy, director of public relations at Cigna, about the partnership. And while they tout the overall benefits of a healthy body and mind, both insurers and employers could also benefit financially: Healthier consumers can mean lower health costs and more productivity at work.

Building app wellness Companies and insurers have taken different approaches to building their wellness programs. But most contain some common elements: a social networking component, health trackers and some sort of incentive. Incentives can be virtual, such as points and prizes that give users little more than bragging rights; or very concrete, like discounts on insurance premiums. Cigna’s use of MyFitnessPal is part of a trend. A Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida subsidiary is working out a deal to offer its beneficiaries Zensey, an online system that uses competition to engage people. Aetna, another large insurer, tapped Get Active!, an online program created by wellness company Shape Up that includes exercise and diet trackers, and competition with other users. Employers that offer Aetna can choose to add these wellness components to their workers’ plans, along with products like iTriage, a mobile app that lets users research symptoms and find doctors. “I think insurance companies are part of a larger community where we all have responsibility to think of community health,” said Susan Kosman, the chief nursing officer at Aetna, one of the country’s largest health insurance companies. United Healthcare has worked with health technology company Novu to provide an interactive platform just for its Medicare beneficiaries. The online portal offers health evaluations and “LifeScores” to engage its consumers. For the wellness companies, partnerships can help market their product and add new features.

CHRISTOPHER D. FOSTER / MCN ILLuSTRATION

Marybeth Thomson, head of business development at MyFitnessPal, said she could not disclose the business relationship with Cigna, but that it was equally beneficial to both sides of the arrangement. “We share the same goal of helping people live a healthier lifestyle,” she said.

The next level For consumers like Kuecker, the websites and apps, regardless of how they are introduced, often open the door to a new level of awareness. Kuecker said she had never counted calories until she started using MyFitnessPal. That successful effort, made her willing to try new wellness incentives offered by her employer’s health insurance plan. “This is something doctors should recommend — it’s something that shows people how to achieve their goal, not just make a goal,” she said. “I think it’s great.” Kaiser Health News is an editorially independent program of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan health policy research and communications organization not affiliated with Kaiser Permanente.
