DOWNERS GROVE – Residents throughout Downers Grove organized relief efforts to help central Illinois tornado victims. Several tornadoes cut through the Midwest Nov. 17, damaging thousands of homes and killing six people in Illinois. Washington, a small town outside of Peoria, was one of the hardest hit towns during the storm. On Friday, Randall Park neighborhood residents filled two buses with donations. For five hours, area residents were invited to bring donations of food, water, clothes, batteries, personal hygiene
products and other items to put in the two buses. Cook Illinois Corporation donated the buses, which were driven to the Roland Manor Baptist Church in Washington. In downtown Downers Grove, Beauty on the Main, 4934 Main St., filled a truck with donations dropped off by the community. The truck left for central Illinois Tuesday morning. Students in Downers Grove pitched in as well. On Friday, students at Fairmount School, 6036 Blodgett, had a Hats for the Red Cross fundraiser, to bring in donations for victims of both the midwest tornadoes and the typhoon in the Philippines.

Heroin epidemic sweeping DuPage County, authorities say By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com Heroin deaths have spiked in 2013, but county officials said the night of Nov. 18, that the issue still hasn’t received the attention it warrants or deserves. “I can tell you that I’ve been very frustrated,” DuPage County Coroner Dr. Richard Jorgenson said at a heroin forum Monday. “I think we’re hiding our heads in the sand. “We have to address this at a young age, and we have to admit that we have a problem in DuPage County.” Jorgenson was joined by DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Robert Crown Center Interim Director Joan Olson at the forum, hosted by state Reps. Patti Bellock and Sandy Pihos at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. There have been 42 heroin-related deaths in DuPage County so far this year, already surpassing the entire 2012 total of 38.

It’s in all ages, all municipalities and all socioeconomic groups.” The panel spoke to a crowd of more than 50 who gathered at the hospital, including con-
cerned parents, healthcare professionals and family members of overdose victims. Audrey Albright of Lombard lost her son to a heroin overdose in October 2012, she said. “We do not want any families to go through what we experienced,” she said. “We are living with half a heart every day.

SIPPY CUPS AND CAVITIES Q: How do sippy cups affect my child’s dental health? A: The sippy cup is unquestionably a convenience for busy moms who don’t have time to walk around behind a toddler cleaning up spilled juice and water and changing little shirts saturated with drink. All too often, though, a child is left with a cup in his hands for long periods, like during a nap or at bedtime. Unless the cup is being used at meal time, it should be filled only with water. Even milk, formula and fruit juice contain sugar. A child who has at-will access to his sippy cup can be bathing his young teeth in sugar. Offer alternatives to water, but only at meal time. Saliva is the mouth’s natural cleansing agent, washing away food particles and neutralizing production of the acid that can cause cavities. Saliva production increases when a child or adult eats a meal. And we understand that meal time for a youngster may be more than an adult’s three times a day. Finally, schedule regular visits with a pediatric dentist to help keep your child cavity-free. Research has shown that about a third of toddlers with tooth decay used sippy cups. In addition to the danger of tooth decay, toddlers are not especially stable on their feet. Falling with a sippy cup in his or her mouth can cause damage to a youngster’s teeth. Talk with your dentist or pediatric dentist about ways to keep your toddler’s mouth healthy.

brated his 23rd birthday [Tuesday], and I’ll sing happy birthday tomorrow in front of his urn. And I’ll release a balloon to heaven for him.” Jorgenson and Berlin said many addicts start with prescription painkillers such as Vicodin or Oxycontin, and when those pills run out, it’s easier to feed the opiate addiction with heroin. A tenth of a gram of heroin sells for about $10 on the street, he said. Contributing to the addictive quality of heroin and the number of overdoses is an increasing purity in the drug on the street. Most heroin was only about 4 percent pure 30 or 40 years ago, he said. Now, users can drive to the west side of Chicago and buy heroin with a purity of about 35 percent. The biggest message from all the speakers was to speak to children and educate them on the dangers of the drug. Berlin also encouraged families to dispose of unused painkillers before they fall into the hands
of children, and to make sure any child prescribed painkillers by a doctor or dentist is only taking the recommended dosage. “When people get prescribed prescription drugs, you usually get maybe 30 pills,” Berlin said. “Most people use maybe a third of those. And what’s happening with the rest of those, they’re ending up in your medicine cabinet where kids have access to those.” He said that a few years ago, the entire county would see maybe five or six felony heroin cases a year. But this year, out of 185 felony drug possession cases, 57 of those were for heroin, and 26 were for prescription pills. Only cocaine exceeded heroin, with 66 felony cases so far in 2013, Berlin said. Despite the number of arrests and increased focus by law enforcement, Berlin said heroin is not a problem the county can “arrest and prosecute our way out of.” “The system is simply not set up for it and it can not handle these types of numbers,” he said. “And when you’re dealing with addicts, sending them to prison simply doesn’t work, you’re not curing the addiction.” Berlin pointed to DuPage County’s drug court, which seeks to rehabilitate drug users instead of incarcerating them, as a step in the right direction. He said only 8 percent of offenders who complete the drug court process go on to commit another felony within three years, compared with 30 percent of convicts who go through the regular court system. He and Jorgenson also pointed to two new laws in Illinois as positive steps. One gives immunity to drug users who may be holding narcotics when they call 911 to save an overdosing friend. If the caller has less than 3 grams of drugs, police will not press charges for possession. A second new law allows healthcare professionals to distribute Naloxone, a heroin overdose antidote, to anyone who requests the drug. “Sometimes we have to think outside the box,” Jorgenson said.

The tree will be strung with lights and more than 1,100 ornaments made by local Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other children. Children are invited to arrive early for free cider and cookies in the depot, and stay to sing after the tree lighting. “My favorite part is when they do the countdown and the tree lights up,” said the event’s organizer, Downers Grove Emergency Management Coordinator Mary Pratt. “Because I like to watch the little kids, their eyes get so big and bright. I think it’s just so adorable.” As for the 35-foot spruce

doesn’t mean we should [raise the levy],” he said. “We’re still experiencing very tough economic times in which our friends and neighbors continue to endure the loss of jobs and home foreclosures.” Beckman said she understood Matune’s reservations, but said the levy increase is needed to meet expectations moving forward. “I believe we just have to have a cushion to accommodate all the things we need to do to satisfy federal and state mandates,” she said. “And there are so many costs that we have no control over. I just think we need this little cushion.” Staehlin also responded to Matune and said property taxes would likely be the only growth in revenues for the district, and expects further cuts in the amount of funding from the state. Because the request is below 5 percent, the district does not have to conduct a public hearing or publish the proposed levy in a newspaper.
By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Taxes and fees are still planned to go up in Downers Grove next year, though the stormwater utility fee increase will be less than initially proposed this fall. Last week, the village council approved the 2014 budget to the tune of $139 million. On Tuesday, the council heard the first reading of the ordinances that actually set the water and stormwater rates laid out in the budget. The budget also includes about $20.5 million in investments in streets, sidewalks and water infrastructure, according to village documents. General fund expenses for 2014 will be about $43.57, an increase of 4.6 percent, or $1.94 million, over the current year’s budget. About $1.5 million of that increase
is in personnel costs, including an $583,000 increase in police and fire pension costs. Employee wages are budgeted to increase by 2.4 percent, and benefits are budgeted to increase by 3.8 percent. The village finances pensions through property taxes, which are slated to increase by the $583,000 needed to cover the rising pension costs. The amount of property tax levy funds going toward village operations will stay the same. The total property tax levy is expected to be about $11.59 million in 2014, compared to about $11 million in 2013, meaning the owner of a $300,000 home would pay about $27.57 more in property taxes to the village. The village also plans increases for both the stormwater fee and the water fee. The stormwater fee would

DOWNERS GROVE – The District 99 Board of Education voted 5-1 Nov. 18 to seek a 2.3 percent property tax increase for 2013, though that figure could decrease to 2.1 percent this spring when the equalized assessed valuation of property in the district and the value of new construction is released. “Accordingly, we use historical information to produce an estimated request and then adjust it downward before the actual tax bills are computed and issued next year,” District 99 Controller Mark Staehlin said in his tax levy memo to the school board. Board member Keith Matune was the lone “no” vote. Board President Nancy Kupka was absent. Board members Julia Beckman, Deb Boyle, Terry Pavesich and Rick Pavinato voted in favor. Of the 2.3 percent requested levy increase, about 1.7 percent will come from existing proper-
ties. For the owner of a $300,000 home, that would add about $29.73 to their tax bill. The rest of the increase will come from new construction. The state caps school districts’ levy increases by the prior year’s consumer price index, or 5 percent, whichever is lower, plus any new construction. CPI is essentially the inflation rate. Last year it was 1.7 percent. A 2.3 percent increase would result in a $70.9 million levy, and a 2.1 percent increase would result in a $70.6 million levy, according to Staehlin’s figures. Before voting against the levy, Matune said the approximate $30 increase for a typical homeowner doesn’t sound like much, but if every taxing body increased their levy by that amount, it becomes a large burden, collectively. He added that he doesn’t think the budget shows a demonstrated need for more property taxes. “Which leads me to conclude that, just because we can,

Paperworks in Downers Grove to close this week By ED MCMENAMIN emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – A Downers Grove staple for more than 11 years, Paperworks owner Ellen Arnold announced she will close the business this week. “I’ve been thinking about it for some time, and we decided that this was the time,” Arnold said. “We’ve had a difficult year with illness. And my husband is retirement

age, and I’m nearing it so we decided this is it.” She said all business furnishings are for sale, and all products and services are marked down 50 percent or more until it closes for good, likely today, she said last week. Arnold was a real estate agent when she started teaching herself desktop publishing about 14 years ago to make the fliers for homes on the market, she said. The business grew from
there, and then about 11 years ago she moved the business from her home to the current location at 1010 Curtiss St. She said she’ll miss the creativity and growing in her skills helping people design and produce invitations and other paper products, “and having repeat customers and getting to know them.” During her time downtown, she said she’s noticed Curtiss Street’s business momentum and energy build.
“Curtiss has really come into its own and it’s a great street to have a business,” she said. The building owner has found a new tenant to replace Paperworks when it moves out, but she said she wasn’t authorized to give the name of the new business. Paperworks’ slogan is “the store that makes you want to have a party,” and stocks a large selection of notes, stamps, embossers, stationary, envelopes and printing
services to help hosts make it happen. Arnold said the majority of her business came from weddings. She said she plans to remain in town after she closes the store, but head to warmer climates for the cold months. She said she hopes to do more volunteer work in her retirement. “I’ve always loved Downers Grove,” she said. “Living here and selling real estate here, and having a business.”
of a 10 percent increase. It will mean an increase of about $7.28 a year for the average residential property. The stormwater fee is scheduled
to increase every year until it’s high enough to cover all debt service and maintenance on projects to improve the village’s stormwater system.
The budget shows a planned water fee increase of about 7.3 percent, or an additional $36.90 a year for the average residence. That is also lower than the initial plan for a 10 percent increase. The budget also plans to move $4.2 million from the 2013 general fund to the risk management fund. The plan expands the uses of the fund to pay for unanticipated costs of emergency and disaster responses. Village Manager David Fieldman’s budget report
says that will create a more predictable and stable general fund. The village plans to have a public hearing on the property tax levy Dec. 10, and give the final approval for the levy Dec. 17, according to village documents. Commissioner Bob Barnett was the lone dissenting vote on the budget, stating issues with the implementation of the stormwater utility fee as his reason for the dissenting vote.

Autoimmune condition? Living with an autoimmune disorder can afect every part of your life. It keeps you from enjoying the good things in life… time with your kids, grandkids, activities like goling, biking, yard work and gardening. Did you know that leaky gut syndrome is a precursor to an autoimmune disease? Did you know that your gut makes up 80% of your immune system? An autoimmune disorder is when your immune system attacks your own body. here is NO CURE for autoimmune disorders, but you can calm down the immune response NATURALLY. My name is Dr. Jefrey E Forzley, with Lemont Natural Healthcare. I am a chiropractic physician and a holistic practitioner. I am passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions. I have been in practice for 28 years. As a holistic practitioner I evaluate the whole body and the many systems of the body, integrate their relationships, manage the underlying cause and use natural methods to manage autoimmune disorders.
Are you sufering with any of these autoimmune disorders? • Hashimotos hroiditis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Graves Disease • Multiple Sclerosis • Scleroderma • Sjogren’s Syndrome • Type 1 Diabetes • Myasthenia Gravis • Ankylosing Spondylitis • Perniscious Anemia
• Lupus • ALS • Psoriasis • Vasculitis • Celiac Disease • Crohn’s Disease • Addison’s Disease • Urticaria (Hives) • Eczema • Raynauds
Medications are not always the long term answer. Medications can give you temporary relief but they DO NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of your immune imbalance. All medications have side efects. hese side efects can be more detrimental than the original symptoms sometimes.
Call for your
Did you know that medications to treat autoimmune conditions can WEAKEN your immune system and lead to infections and immune degenerative conditions including cancer? here is a time to use medications but not before a NATURAL way to manage the underlying imbalance. So how do I help people with autoimmune disorders? I use a combination of speciic NEUROLOGICAL protocols and NUTRITION recommendations… Neuro-Metabolic herapy. Your Brain (nervous System) controls all other systems of the body. It controls your immune system. digestive system, endocrine (hormone) system… so if you have an immune system imbalance or autoimmune condition, evaluating and managing the nervous system is required for optimal improvement.
Your immune system. here are 2 parts to the front line defense of your immune system… TH1 (white blood cells) and TH2 (antibody response). hese 2 parts should work in balance together. But when you are sufering from an autoimmune disorder, one part is out of balance (dominant). his leads to an imbalance in TH3 which in turn leads to an autoimmune response.
Testimonials I was diagnosed with Graves Disease (autoimmune thyroid) three years ago. My endocrinologist recommended surgery to remove my thyroid and put me on medication for the rest of my life. I searched for an alternative treatment to save my thyroid and found Dr. Forzley. hrough comprehensive lab testing he found out what was causing my immune system to attack my thyroid. I have been receiving treatments and following his recommendations exactly and my lab numbers are now normal, my endocrinologist is happy, my medication has been reduced in half and I feel better. I highly recommend Dr. Forzley and his natural approach. Samantha R. I sufered from unbearable itching caused by Hives (chronic autoimmune Urticaria) for over 33 years. Steroid medications helped the symptoms temporarily but the side efects were bad. Ater an in-depth blood and metabolic analysis, Dr. Forzley found the cause of my problem. Ater 4-5 months of strictly following his recommendations, my hives are completely gone and I feel great. Cheryl P. If your immune system is not managed properly, your condition can worsen, result in a poor quality of life, cause a shortening of the length of your life and cause other autoimmune disorders. Holistic herapy can manage autoimmune conditions by: 1) inding and balancing the underlying cause. 2) lowering the self destructive efects of the immune system. 3) using natural therapies that work with your body.
I can work with your immune system NATURALLY and balance the TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17. You can never be cured of an autoimmune disorder. BUT, you can get symptom relief and calm down the immune attack on you own body. You must get a detailed immune system evaluation followed by speciic recommendation based on those tests. Guess what stimulates TH1?Vitamin C. But if you are TH1 dominant, Taking vitamin C will WORSEN your immune response. hat’s right worsen. We need to identify which part of your immune system is dominant in order to calm down the immune system. I don’t treat or cure autoimmune disorders. By using speciic neurological and nutritional protocols, I help to decrease your body’s inlammation, detoxify your body, balance TH1, TH2, TH3 and TH17 which NATURALLY boosts your immune system. THAT is how I address autoimmune disorders.

Family Shelter Service offers safety, support during holidays At holiday time, people affected by abuse especially need the kindness of strangers, for this is when they are at their most vulnerable – cut off from everything and sometimes everyone they are close to. Family Shelter Service was founded 37 years ago to address the unique needs of these individuals both at holiday time COMMUNITY and throughout the year. VOICE For many of our clients, Maureen staying in a shelter during the McGuire holidays can be one of the most difficult times. Our client, “Angela,” fled a violent home with her two young children shortly before the holidays. In the shelter, with time to reflect on the tragedy of her abusive relationship, she became overwhelmed. To help her heal from the trauma, Angela underwent individual counseling and also participated in Family Shelter’s Mom and Kids Support Group with her children. As the holiday approached, Family Shelter supporters and former clients began to stop by with donations and gifts for the women and children in shelter at the annual Holiday Shoppe event – this year Dec. 5, 6 and 9. One woman told Angela that she had been in the same situation at one time and that she couldn’t stop thinking about the mothers and children who would spend their holiday in a shelter. Angela was touched and moved by the generosity of these people who didn’t know her. She and her children were invited to participate in Family Shelter’s annual Home Sweet Home event – this year on Dec. 7 at the Abbington in Glen Ellyn – a community gingerbread decorating event featuring storybook characters and Santa Claus. Other mothers the in shelter came as well and she found herself celebrating with people who understood her experience better than anyone. Angela later commented that it was the most tranquil holiday she’d ever had. While we always hope that our shelter will be empty this holiday, we know it will not. Domestic battery is the most prevalent crime in Illinois, according to the Illinois Crime Commission. It is critical that we all participate in making the issue known in our community so that another family won’t have to spend their holiday in a shelter, depending on the kindness of strangers.

Giuseppe Badalamenti washes his food truck Nov. 18 in his warehouse in Westmont. Badalamenti hopes to bring his business into his hometown Downers Grove.
We’re used to the Village of Downers Grove being ahead of the curve, not behind it. That’s why it was suprising to hear village code doesn’t allow for food trucks within village limits. We encourage Downers Grove’s elected officials to adjust the code and allow for what’s become a rising trend in mobile restaurants. Adding more sales tax revenue can’t hurt, either. Big box retail and e-commerce stores are going to get their sales this holiday season, so don’t forget about “the little guys.” This Saturday is Small Business Saturday, a day where shoppers are encouraged to patronize the Downers Grove-area local brick-andmortar shops that keep business – and tax dollars – local.

Sick of Toronto mayor I, for one, am getting a little sick of all the slamming of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Why don’t we discuss when our mayor of the capitol of the United States of America was caught smoking crack. Remember Marion Barry? Some of you weren’t alive then, but I remember it quite well. And they practically just slapped him on the wrist, and next thing you know he’s running for office again and gets put back in. Isn’t that a slap in the face tor all American people? I know some states you can be elected for office as a felon, but come on let’s hear a little bit about him and hear more about that situation.

John Calonkey Gray, age 91, died in Naples, Florida, on Wednesday morning, November 13, 2013, of cardiac failure. He was born in Downers Grove, Illinois on October 27, 1922 to John Gray and Josephine Julia Gray (Calonkey). Raised in Downers Grove, he made lifelong friends in the town where his father was a conductor on the Burlington Railroad and his mother tutored mathematics. He played baritone in the high school band. He began college, but enlisted in 1942, assigned to the 719th Squadron of the 449th Bomb Group. He was a true military hero, rescuing other crew members and then parachuting to safety himself from their crippled B-24 Liberator, “Mighty Mouse.” Six other crew members were lost that day, near Potenza, Italy January 15, 1944. John was captured by the Nazis several days later, while trying to return to the Allied lines, and was a POW for 16 grueling months, in Stalag Luft I. A photo of him and another prisoner peeling potatoes, is in the Air Corps Museum in Dayton, Ohio. He and the others were liberated by the Russians on May 15, 1945. He returned to Downers Grove where he married his childhood sweetheart, Dorothy Jean Kidwell and they attended the University of Michigan. He received his degree, Bachelors in Accounting and Masters in Business. Jean was voted “Best Legs on Campus.” They lived their entire married life in Downers Grove and raised three sons, John Kidwell, Christopher Arthur and Michael Scott. He initially worked for ScovellWellington CPAs until his career with Morton Salt Company in Chicago, which lasted several decades as their Systems Analyst and Comptroller. He retired to Naples, Florida after Jean's death, and also survived the deaths of two subsequent wives, Rosemary Norris and Muriel Martinek. He is survived by his son, John K. Gray and Kathryn (Horton); and Grandsons, John T. Gray (Jessica Johnson), Justin A. Gray (Lisa Asmus) and Seth T. Gray (Megan Griffin); Son, Michael S. Gray and Deborah (Miller) and their sons, Michael A. Gray (Nicole Martin), Nathan C. Gray and Collin J. Gray. Also Great Grandchildren, Dayna, Hannah, Tessa and Lucas. His past 15 years in Naples have been spent happily with friend and companion in sobriety, Shirley Rankin. He remained a rabid U of M

I’m calling out the village of Downers Grove. Apparently, on Veterans Day, the village of Downers Grove didn’t feel that that was a holiday. So on all their parking signs that said “No parking, except Saturdays, Sundays or holidays” you would get a ticket if you’re parked there. When I went to the police department I was told by a dispatcher it must be a mistake. So I filled out a form and a police officer called me back. He had to look it up to see if it was a holiday. The chief of police then advised me that Downers Grove doesn’t recognize Veterans Day as an actual holiday as it is not on their approved list of holidays. But the day after Thanksgiving and the day before Christmas are considered holidays according to Downers Grove. I think this is outrageous that they don’t honor our vets and consider a federal holiday an actual parking day.

MYSTERY DINER Restaurant reviews
Scarletti’s: Cozy atmosphere, comfort food DOWNERS GROVE – With its quaint setting and madefrom-scratch fare, Scarletti’s Italian Kitchen is a great escape, whether it be from wintry temps, a stressful workday or the craze of holiday shopping. A colleague and I headed out to the downtown Downers Grove restaurant on a recent weeknight. Once we stepped into the cozy restaurant, any leftover frustration from the rush hour traffic and chilly weather was replaced with ease from the warmly lit atmosphere and tasty scents wafting from Scarletti’s kitchen. The attractive dining room makes for an intimate setting, whether you’re with a significant other, family, friends or a business partner, and overlooks the city right along Main Street with large windows. Once seated, we soon were greeted with Scarletti’s customary basket of bread and marinara dipping sauce. It was a nice change-up from the standard bread-and-oil setups at most Italian restaurants, and nearly made for an appetizer on its own. Still, we had to try the bruschetta appetizer, which proved a good call with its combination of fresh tomato and basil, prepared with a balsamic drizzle for added style and flavor points. For our main courses, my colleague, in the mood for a hearty, home-cooked meal, opted for the Chianti Braised Short Ribs, an interesting selection he was very happy with. The boneless short ribs are slathered in a red wine reduction sauce, served on a bed of whipped potatoes and topped with a seasonal vegetable puree. I went with a classic that’s a must-try for me whenever I dine at an Italian restaurant that’s new to me: the Chicken Parmesan. The entree had very generous portions of chicken breast and a side of pasta. The chicken was tender and its marinara sauce proved a perfect complement. If you’re partial

Can Bears’ defense stop Adrian Peterson? Hub Arkush
For the most part, things have not gone well for the Minnesota Vikings since the Bears last saw them in Soldier Field the second week of the season. But after all kinds of turmoil at the quarterback position because of injury and the surprising signing of Josh Freeman, who then failed miserably in his one start before suffering a concussion, the Vikings look an awful lot like the club the Bears barely got by in Week 2 with their 31-30 victory on a last-minute touchdown pass from Jay Cutler to Martellus Bennett. Christian Ponder appears to be firmly re-entrenched as the starting quarterback, and Adrian Peterson will be coming off one of his best games of the season in Green Bay, where the Vikings played the Packers to a tie in overtime.
Most of the biggest questions in this matchup will be about the Bears’ mindset after the egg they laid in St. Louis on Sunday, and whether they have any hope at all of slowing Peterson with the worst run defense in the NFL. Peterson rushed for 146 yards on 32 carries and a touchdown in five quarters of football, and while he hasn’t approached his 2012 heroics, he was still the NFL’s second-leading rusher before the Redskins-49ers game Monday night with 997 total yards, a 4.4 average and 10 touchdowns. Ponder has been a threat on the ground with 34 scrambles for 151 yards and four touchdowns, and he’s completing 64.5 percent of his passes for a 78.7 passer rating, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. While his passing numbers on the season don’t scare you, he did complete 21 of 30 throws for 233 yards and a 103.9 passer rating Sunday at Lambeau. Greg Jennings and Jerome Simpson have been up and down, but are reliable targets for Ponder when the
Vikings are playing well. Cordarrelle Patterson is a factor in the kick return game, but is still struggling to find himself as a receiver. On defense, the Vikings have struggled all year. They are 30th in total defense, 14th versus the run but 29th against the pass. They are 23rd in interception percentage and 26th rushing the quarterback. On the defensive line, Jared Allen and Kevin Williams are former all pros who are both still capable of having big games, but don’t do it on a regular basis any more. LeTroy Guion and Brian Robison still are starting as well, and this is the unit that helped key the Vikings playoff run in 2012, but they have all struggled this year. Chad Greenway is still the guy you have to identify on Minnesota’s defense, and he’ll make plays all over the field, but Erin Henderson in the middle and Marvin Mitchell on the weak side are guys the Bears should be able to exploit. Josh Robinson and Chris Cook are third- and second-round draft picks,
respectively, on the corners who are both athletic and fast enough but terribly inconsistent, which is why this team is 29th in pass defense. The safeties, Jamarca Sanford and Andrew Sendejo, aren’t bad forcing the run, but do struggle in coverage. At the end of the day for the Bears, this one comes down to what are they going to do about Peterson? After going off for a 140 on the ground week nine against the Cowboys, Peterson had been held in check by the Redskins and Seahawks before exploding again in Green Bay. The unfortunate fact is if the Vikings climb on Peterson’s back, there is little the Bears will be able to do but get into a shootout. The good news is that Josh McCown continues to flourish in Marc Trestman’s offense, and the Bears have a lot more weapons on offense than Minnesota, giving them an excellent chance to prevail by piling up points, which is exactly what happened the last time they got together.

THANKSGIVING DAY PREVIEW Packers at Lions, 11:30 a.m. This game not only features several intriguing fantasy matchups, it also is pivotal to the NFC North. The big
Stafford should be productive against the Packers’ 18thranked defense. The Packers equally are mediocre versus the run and the pass, so start Reggie Bush.
Raiders at Cowboys, 3:30 p.m. The late-afternoon game should be a bonanza for Tony Romo and Dez Bryant. The Raiders’ defense ranks No. 8 against the run, but a dismal No. 25 versus the pass. It would be a surprise if Romo didn’t crest 300 yards and throw at least two touchdown passes, probably more. Jason Witten also is a must start. Terrance Williams has disappeared, and
all other Cowboys’ receivers would seem to be afterthoughts at this point. Although the Raiders are respectable against the run – sticking with the idea that this will be a shootout – start DeMarco Murray and Dan Bailey. The Cowboys actually have the weaker defense in this contest, ranking last in points and passing yards. Assuming Darren McFadden will be in street clothes, Rashard Jennings is a great play. If Denarius Moore returns, he is a solid play. If not, take a close look at Rod Streater.
Steelers at Ravens, 7:30 p.m. Two good, but not great, defenses face off in the night game. Ben Roethlisberger has averaged 22 fantasy points over the past four weeks. He has been up and down, however. He might be looking at something around 15 points this week. The Steelers still drive fantasy owners crazy
with their running-back rotation, but Le’Veon Bell is clearly the best option. This week, he’s probably looking at 10 to 14 points. Antonio Brown is a top-five fantasy receiver and an obvious play. After Brown, it gets dicey. Jerricho Cotchery had emerged during weeks 9-11, but he went without a reception against the Browns. After lighting up the Bears in week 11, Ray Rice reverted to his 2013 form against the Jets (16 carries for 30 yards). Although the Jets are stout against the run, it’s time to look at Rice as a No. 3 fantasy back or flex option. In smaller leagues, he’s probably not worth a roster spot. After kicker Justin Tucker and receiver Torrey Smith, the Ravens do not offer much in this game. Given his recent production, it’s hard to recommend Joe Flacco. Call it a gut instinct: He scores 20-plus points against Pittsburgh.

The bye weeks are over, but week 13 presents a new challenge for fantasy owners: Three Thursday games. Ah, Thanksgiving! Nothing beats spending time with loved ones, enjoying a fine feast … and getting a jump on your fantasy opponent! I’m not suggesting that Aunt Mildred’s discussions aren’t riveting, but it’s always fun to have players going on Thanksgiving. A closer look at Thursday’s games will help you determine which players can help your team and those who are likely to be … turkeys (ouch).
question, of course, is whether Aaron Rodgers will play. As of Monday morning, his status was uncertain. Matt Flynn came to the rescue last week against Minnesota, taking over for a struggling Scott Tolzien. Obviously, the Packers are a stronger play if it’s Rodgers, but either quarterback should produce. Flynn seemed to have a connection with Jarrett Boykin, who hauled in five receptions and a touchdown in the second half. The Lions’ defense is ranked No. 28 against the pass. Boykin, James Jones and Jordy Nelson are solid starts. Kicker Mason Crosby also is in for a good day. It might be tougher for Eddie Lacy – Detroit is No. 4 against the run – but we still like the talented rookie this week. The Lions are among the league’s dumbest teams. They also are one of the most talented. Calvin Johnson is an obvious start and Matthew

The former Mustangs’ JV coach climbed the ladder to varsity this past offseason, filling a void left by the recently departed Jay Baum. In his first year as head coach, Olson will try to build upon last season’s 15-12 record and the Mustangs’ trip to the regional championship game. “The transition to varsity has been a relatively smooth one,” Olson said. “I know all

these boys and I have coached most of them at one point. This is a new season – a new experience – and we are looking to improve as a team and get better with every game. “We have a roster that is loaded with seniors and some talented newcomers. The upperclassmen have really asserted themselves in the

preseason and I expect that to carry through to the end of the regular season.” Senior returning guards Paul Engo III and Danny Spinuzza will run the Mustangs’ motion offense. A three-year varsity player, Engo III is a quick, elusive ball handler who displays a consistent knack for driving
to the hoop and finding the open man. Spinuzza – the Mustangs’ starting shooting guard – has made tremendous strides from last season and is a threat to knock down mid- to long-range shots at any time. So far, Olson says that he has been impressed with his backcourt tandem and their ability to handle the offensive and defensive sets. “We ask a lot from our guards,” Olson said. “I count on them to maintain uptempo play – pushing the ball on offense and pressuring the opposition on defense when we run a full court press.” Down low, the Mustangs will rely on of 6-foot-5-inch
freshman TJ Clifford to control the paint. Clifford made significant strides in adjusting to varsity ball during summer workouts and games, and is versatile enough to play with his back to the basket or step out and hit shots. Senior forward Matt Zinnecker saw significant playing time last year and offers another option close to the basket. A trip to St. Charles East’s Ron Johnson Thanksgiving tournament will test the Mustangs right off the bat, and competing at the Proviso West Holiday Tournament will also provide a challenge and will help prepare South to contend in the West Suburban Gold.
8BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

By ALEX SOULIER DOWNERS GROVE – The future is now for the Downers Grove North boys basketball team. Boasting a lineup stacked with a bevy of sophomore and junior talent, the Trojans will be looking to reach the .500 mark record-wise for the first time in head coach Jim Thomas’ tenure. While North has historically struggled on the hardwood, Thomas believes that this could be the year that the basketball program turns the corner. “The players had a productive offseason,” Thomas said. “A lot of the boys played AAU ball and there’s a noticeable improvement in their game. We are still a little young, but the skill and dedication are trending upwards.” The Trojans will have to overcome a pair of nagging injuries at the season’s onset, as returning juniors David Edwards and Myles Fairly are not 100 percent healthy. While Edwards remains hampered by a leg injury suffered in the fifth week of the football season, Farley is still recovering from offseason ACL surgery. He is expected to be at full health by early- to mid-December, according to Thomas. The duo will be pivotal to the Trojans’ success. Last season’s second-leading scorer, the 6-foot Farley is a natural in Thomas’ “dribble, drive, motion” motion offense, displaying an uncanny ability to get up the court, break down defenses and slash to the bucket. Edwards, too, is a big man that can get out in transition. The 6-foot-6-inch post player can back up the opposition in the post or extend out and hit shots. Sophomore Matt Mahlke will round out the Downers North low post, giving the Trojans a second back-to-thebasket threat. Devin Blake is another sophomore that will play valuable minutes in the

North lineup. Thomas likes his all-around game and explains that he has limitless potential. “Devin could very well be our best player by the end of the season,” Thomas said. “He has a really nice inside-out game and has a knack for getting to the hole and hitting unorthodox shots.” Junior Colin Kramper and three-sport senior athlete Ray Greco will provide experience and leadership to the Downers Grove North roster. Both are well suited for Thomas’ uptempo offensive game-plan. “Defend, rebound and run – that’s the way we score,” Thomas said. “We want to Matthew Piechalak file photo - mpiechalak@shawmedia.com keep you off the scoreboard, get out in the open court, Downers Grove North’s David Edwards goes up for a shot during a game last season.

Suburban Life ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA
RYAN CLEVENGER Downers Grove North | Junior | Cross country Why Clevenger was selected: After placing second at both the regional and sectional meets, Clevenger ran a 14:38 and finished seventh at the state race in Peoria to help North take second as a team. Downer Grove North boys cross country coach John Sipple called Ryan Clevenger the team’s most improved runner this season, and Clevenger was seventh at the 3A boys cross country state finals meet in Peoria. Clevenger, the Sears Hardware and Appliance Athlete of the Week, talked with Suburban Life sports reporter Alex Soulier about his first trip to state, improving as an runner and his offseason plans.
What was your experience like at the state finals? It was my first time at state and it was a great experience. There were so many people there – the atmosphere was incredible. Beforehand I was a little nervous, but once the race started, all that tension goes away.
You made an incredible jump in your overall performance this season. What was the key to your success? I was battling anemia last winter, so it was really tough recovering from that. Once I was better physically, I regained my strength and running form. It was the little things that helped me. I started doing weight work, kettle bell exercises, and a lot of routines which helped my fast twitch muscles. I also rested and let my body recover when I felt like I needed a break.
How will you spend your offseason? I just came in 10th at the Nike cross country regionals. Right now, I’m doing some running, but I will soon take some time off and then get ready for the start of track and field.

DOWNERS GROVE – The Downers Grove Panthers youth football program had quite the success rate in the Bill George Youth Football League playoffs. Of the 15 tackles teams the Panthers had this fall, three advanced to their respective BGYFL Super Bowl games on Nov. 9 and 10 at Benedictine University in Lisle. Two won titles. The Panthers’ 83-pound Silver team, comprised of 9- and 10-year-olds, capped an undefeated season with a 13-6 win over the South Elgin Patriots in the Super Bowl game Nov. 9. Downers Grove broke a 6-6 tie by scoring a touchdown with 10 seconds left in the first half, then fended off a tough South Elgin team for the title. The 83 Silver team was comprised of: Brodie Bollnow, Trevor Bolisay, Andrew Chavez, Devin Conway, Stephen Dabrowski, Nathan Durkin, Ryan Hubeny, Alex Johnson, Alexander Kuranty, Elijah Lashley, Sal Memeti, Patrick O’Connor, Matthew Oko, Isaiah Olcese, Nick Pate, Vince Priete, Max Schooley, Dominic Ullmer, Pierce Walsh, Evan Wenger, and Henry Wilson. Steve Dabrowski was the head coach. A touchdown late in the fourth quarter and Blake Davis’ interception on the last play of the game sealed a 12-8 Super Bowl win over the Wheaton Rams for the Panthers’ Senior NFC team. Downers Grove took a 6-0 lead on Blake Freko’s 18-yard

The Panthers’ 93-pound Silver finished the regular season with a 5-3 record and earned a No. 4 seed in the playoffs. On their way to the Super Bowl game, they defeated No. 5 South Elgin in the first round and No. 1 Wheaton in the semifinals on a last-second touchdown. The team finished second overall after a defeat against Bloomingdale in the
Super Bowl.

WINNETKA – An impressive season came to an impressive end for Gabby Sims and her Downers Grove North swimming and diving teammates. Led by Sims, the Trojans won four events, tallied 157 points and finished second in the state, just 3.5 points back of state champion New Trier. For Sims, a senior and Harvard University commit, the second place team finish and four first place medals was the perfect end to a magical high school swimming career. “All our hard work has paid off and it feels so amazing,” Sims said. “Placing second at state is such an incredible accomplishment, and I am so happy to call the team and coaches my second family.” Sims placed first on her own in the 100-yard backstroke and 100 freestyle and also helped North take first in the 200 medley relay and 400 freestyle relay with times of 1:42.22 and 3:25.16, respectively. Her time in the 100-backstroke set a new Downers Grove North varsity record and New Trier pool record. Sims and the Trojans jumped out to an early lead on Saturday, winning the first event of the day – the 200 medley relay. Sims set a PR on her leg of the race and Gabriele Serniute, Maddy Sims and Emily Albrecht helped the team defeat Fenwick and New Trier by nearly one second, setting a New Trier pool record. Gabby Sims proceeded to capture first in the 100 freestyle (50.12) and 100 backstroke (53.93) later in the meet. Additionally, Serniute finished sixth in the 200 individual medley, Albrecht took 10th in the 50 freestyle, and Maddy Sims and Daria wick placed seventh and ninth, respectively, in the 100 butterfly.
