Malone said will remain open while future options are developed. The center’s lease runs through 2015.

“If conditions change in the future, we hope there would be options for a new Y facility [in the La Grange area],” Malone said.

Caesar said Opus still needs to finalize the transaction and meet with village staff before it’s able to reveal more details about its plans.

“We don’t want to divulge any information until we meet with the village,” Caesar said.

He said Opus wants to incorporate the community’s vision into its plan, whenever it takes shape.

“It’s a ways off, but we’re starting with a lot of resources,” said Caesar, who said the company has a few concepts in mind.

“The Opus group is super excited. This is a gem of a site and a tremendous opportunity.”

Police find no evidence of shots fired at high School

By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Police found no evidence of shots fired at Lyons Township High School Thursday evening after a systematic, room-byroom search of the school and its buildings, said La Grange Police Chief Michael Holub.

LT’s North Campus was put on lock down at 4:10 p.m.

Thursday after a 911 call to police from a staff member inside the school reported possibly hearing shots fired and screaming.

Holub said the first La Grange police officer was on the scene in 90 seconds, followed by support from police departments from Countryside, Western Springs, Brookfield and La Grange Park.

Officers split into five teams and went through the school, but found no evidence that shots had been fired.

“It takes awhile, but it had to be done systematically,” Holub said of the search.

“We’d always rather have you call and have it be nothing than wait.”

Holub said the department regularly drills for such occasions, and in this incident, the training paid off.

Students still on the campus were interviewed and cleared from the school in groups, Holub said. Buses were also brought in to house students while the search took place.

Students were later cleared to walk home or drive home, or get picked up by parents.

LA GRANGE – A YMCA facility will not be part of a new development on the site of the former Rich Port YMCA at Ogden Avenue and La Grange Road.

The YMCA of Metro Chicago announced Tuesday it accepted a roughly $9 million bid from Minneapolis-based Opus Development Company LLC for the property. Opus Vice President Jim Caesar said the company’s plan includes a multifamily apartment building, retail space and a parking structure. But, a new YMCA facility will not be part of the deal.

“We kind of waited out the economy a little bit to see if things would get better … to see if we could raise the funds to build a YMCA on that corner,” said Richard Malone, YMCA of Metro Chicago president and CEO. “We’re all very disappointed that that

wasn’t in the cards this time.”

Some of the nine bids received included a new Y facility, but none of those offers were economically viable, Malone said. Even if they were, the facility would have only been 10,000 to 15,000 square feet, much smaller than the Y’s goal of a 45,000-to50,000-square-foot standalone facility, Malone said.

“We were hoping to see a creative solution, and while I think developers tried, obviously they have their own [requirements] to meet,” Malone said.

The YMCA occupied a five-story building at 31 E. Ogden Ave. for nearly 60 years before leaving in 2008. The building was demolished in 2010, and the site has been vacant since. An effort to redevelop the property fell through during the recession that began in 2008.

The Y still operates a fitness center at 1100 E. 31st St. in La Grange Park that

LA GRANGE – The village of La Grange has received a grant to install security cameras at the Stone Avenue and La Grange Road train stations.

The cameras will be installed in coordination with the renovation of the Stone Avenue station, scheduled to be completed by May 30, 2014. The 112-year-old station will get four high-definition cameras, while the La Grange Road station will receive seven.

La Grange police will be in charge of monitoring the camera feeds at the police station. Three of the Stone Avenue cameras will be outside the station, with one inside.

The La Grange Road station will have five outdoor cameras and two inside.

On Oct. 14, the Village Board awarded the project to Naperville-based Closed Circuit Innovations for $38,180.

The cameras are funded by a grant from the West Suburban Mass Transit District, which is also funding part of the Stone Avenue renovation.

French royalty lands in Illinois

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com WESTERN SPRINGS – The story was too good, so Dianne Kowal Kirtley decided to borrow her in-laws for about seven years.

In 2004, shortly after retiring from 25 years at Nazareth Academy as an English teacher, department chair and a handful of other positions, Kirtley was helping her father-in-law move into a retirement complex when she found papers that linked her husband’s family to Joseph Bonaparte, brother of French emperor Napoleon.

Intrigued, she started to research the connection. Kirtley soon learned that several of her husband’s ancestors were personal attendants to Joseph Bonaparte’s family.

“Then my interest was really peaked,” Kirtley said.

Former Nazareth Academy teacher Dianne Kowal Kirtley speaks during a presentation about her new historical fiction novel based on her husband’s ancestors, who were personal attendants to the brother of Napoleon.

Her research led her through stacks of books and to places like the library in Avon, Ill., and the bank of the Ohio River. In January, after seven years of legwork, writing and editing, it all paid off.

Kirtley’s first novel, “Point of

Departure,” was published, and it now sits on the shelves at local libraries.

The book is a historical fiction version of her ancestral in-laws’ journey from outside Paris to Illinois, two places that, in 1841, couldn’t have been more different.

“Imagine you get raised in this very privileged society in France … and then all of a sudden your parents say, ‘Guess what? We’re moving to this place across the ocean,’” Kirtley said.

The main character is Charlotte Louise Josephine Mailliard, her husband’s great-great grandmother.

Charlotte, educated with Napoleon’s nephews, was 14 when her family left France for Illinois, which was then the country’s westernmost frontier and a place thought to be filled with savage people “All of a sudden your life is

so terribly uprooted,” Kirtley said.

In the book, as her family travels to Illinois, Charlotte, who’s learned her new country is the land of the free, witnesses a slave auction in Kentucky. Once in Illinois, Charlotte develops an interest in a half-Native American man, Henry Moreau, which signals scorn from many residents.

Moreau was made up by Kirtley – though the backlash for dating a “half-breed” would, at the time, have been real – and eventually Charlotte meets the man she marries, the great-great grandfather of Kirtley’s husband.

Sound complex? Seven years doesn’t seem like so long anymore considering the web of relationships Kirtley had to recreate, along with her research to make the novel historically accurate.

“I’d read a little bit and then I’d think, ‘I don’t know enough about this,’” Kirtley said. “And then I got two or three more books to read.”

The novel, which ends with Charlotte and her family’s experience of the Civil War, has already made it into the hands of several local book clubs.

“Each of us, I’m sure, has a story in our family to tell,” said Kirtley, whose husband, Rich, ran a technology company that sold computers to schools for 20 years. “This one, just because of the attachment to European ‘royalty,’ just seemed so remarkable for the life they had and what life became.”

“Point of Departure” is also available at www.kirtleybooks.com and at the public libraries in La Grange and Western Springs. It can also be purchased on Amazon. com.

Cool Village forum to evaluate local sustainability progress SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LA GRANGE – The League of Women Voters of the La Grange Area will host a public forum and panel Thursday to evaluate the environmental

initiatives taken up by local villages in recent years.

It’s Your Money

By Linda Sokol Francis, E.A. ABOUT S CORPORATIONS S corporations are not taxed like ordinary companies. Rather, taxes on their gains and losses are paid by their owners on their individual returns.

For the first time in many years, personal income tax rates for highincome individuals are higher than that on corporations— 39.6 percent vs. 35 percent.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to switch.

Note that profits of a regular corporation are taxed at the corporate level, and then the dividends enabled by those profits are taxed at the shareholder level. That moves the effective rate way up.

And keep in mind that losses are passed through to shareholders (with some limitations) to offset other income.

When a company is sold, any gains are taxed at corporate income rates, not the better rates an individual pays, and the buyer is more likely to want the assets than the company stock, in order to achieve a higher tax basis.

Brookfield Financial Plans, Inc.

environmentally conscious choices.

The forum will run from 7 to 8:45 p.m. at the La Grange Public Library, 10 W. Cossitt Ave., and will be moderated

by La Grange Assistant Village Manager Andrianna Peterson.

The league established the Cool Villages Committee in 2009 after two of its members,

Linda Christianson and Mary Klonowski, attended a local eco fair. Since, the committee has worked with communities to promote sustainability, meeting periodically to exchange information about work being done in different areas.

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

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

The clinical results are nothing short of outstanding. Studies conducted thus far have been extremely positive and virtually no side effects. A study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery 81-350-353 1994 suggests that significant negative disc pressures are achieved with decompression. And this is what causes the increased intake of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the vertebral disc area thereby promoting healing of the herniated or degenerated disc from the inside out.

WESTERN SPRINGS – A group of residents in the Forest Hills subdivision are hoping to turn a plot of land next to an oddly placed stormwater structure into a community garden.

The Fair Elms Lift Station, which pumps water into Flagg Creek during storms, is located on Fair Elms Avenue in the middle of the subdivision.

The structure used to be owned by the Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, but was given to the village several decades ago.

The property’s back side contains a sizable section of green space, and residents recently asked the Properties and Recreation Committee if they could turn the area into a community garden.

The committee was open to the idea, and residents will present the village with

WESTERN SPRINGS – The village is developing a five-year plan for preservation work to the village’s historic water tower.

The tower, built in 1892, needs a new front door, window repairs, tuckpointing to its stone and brick facade and several interior improvements, such as new stairs.

In the summer, the Western Springs Historical Society, located in the tower, asked the village to consider the necessary renovations and come up with a timeline to execute them.

The village brought in contractors to draft a

an initial plan for the garden in November or December, said Matt Supert, the village’s director of municipal services.

The village has agreed to replace the fence at the property, which is 30 years old, and move it back from the front of the building to create a more residential look.

It will also install a water faucet for the gardeners.

During the garden’s first year, residents will plant in cedar boxes as they gauge interest from the neighborhood, with the hope of turning it into a bigger operation.

“Because it’s an old historic building, a lot of work is custom building for the windows and doors,” said Matt Supert, the village’s director of municipal services.

Supert said the village will apply for grants that could help fund preservation work, but many of those grants dried up when the economy sank in 2008. The rest of the money will have to come from the village’s Capital Improvement Fund.

The village plans to publish an outline of the tower improvement plan on its website in the next two to three weeks, Supert said.

Westchester committee hopes to spur business development

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com WESTCHESTER – Facelifts for storefront facades is one of three projects the village’s Economic Development Committee is planning to help local businesses and attract new ones.

The committee is also developing plans to plant more trees throughout the village and erect more signs that tell drivers and pedestrians they are in Westchester.

“Because we have so very few actual intersections that are 100 percent [owned by] Westchester, we’re trying to figure out creative ways to identify corridors to put up our signage,” said Joe Mills, Economic Development Committee chair.

Several of the main roads running through the village are owned by the state.

The committee is also brainstorming criteria for selecting businesses to receive renovations to their storefront facades, which the village hopes to fund through grants, either from governmental bodies or out of the village’s hotel/motel tax, Mills said.

“There are several

corridors where if you look at the structures from the street, they are not nearly as nice as they should be,” he said.

A business summit that would connect local merchants with each other and village staff is also in the works. The committee recently sent questionnaires to local businesses and found there are 600 within the village – and that only a small number are considering relocating, Mills said.

In recent years, the village has significantly improved the permit process for new businesses, Mills said. The summit would link the village with business owners to improve code enforcement and other business processes.

“To find out what is it that is keeping businesses from growing, expanding and/or what is keeping businesses from seeing more customers?”

Mills said.

The committee has also debated which areas of the village could be developed as TIF districts, but Village Manager Janet Matthys said recently that the village will not pursue a TIF district until it receives concrete interest for new developments.

Westchester library keeps on surprising Recently, a man and his son came into the library to renew their library cards. The son mentioned that he was re-enrolling in college. He knew the library would be a good place to study.

Once their cards were renewed the father asked, “We haven’t been here in a while, what’s new?”

I replied: “Well, we have added more computers COMMUNITY upstairs, so there is hardly VOICE any wait time. Our free Wi-Fi Bryan is so good, there is no doubt our neighbors are stealing Lipinski it. We have added a new teen section, and new study rooms. The second floor now features a rotating local artist exhibit and outside we planted a prairie garden. We allow you to download audiobooks to your mp3 player, and e-books to your eReader. We are slowly building a collection of video games. The card gives you access to materials and services at all 78 libraries in our consortium.”

They were both stunned and asked, “Really?”

“Yes,” I replied. “And you can also access websites and databases through our website. Mango Language allows you to learn a language interactively online for free.”

“Wow!” they said.

“We also have four eReaders you can check out, and have instruction sheets to get books for all brands of eReaders upstairs,” I said.

“We didn’t know you did all that,” they said, and they checked out an eReader before they went on their way.

This is a conversion I frequently have. No matter how many fliers we put up, or newsletters we send out, some people still see the library only as a building with books and a clean public restroom. We are in no way paving the way for new technologies, and you should not expect us to. However, we do know the difference between Twitter and Instagram. Libraries are a reflection of their community. We take pride not only in being a quiet place to study, but a place that keeps up with trends and makes knowledge personal and accessible by incorporating new technologies. Most importantly, we are proud to meet the needs of our community and patrons.

We are still a building with books and free access to computers and the Internet, but we have done much to move into the 21st century. If you would like to see for yourself, feel free to stop by and ask. We can be found on Twitter @westchesterlib, Instagram (westchesterlibrary), Facebook and Pinterest, too.

LA GRANGE – For the first time in several years, the village wound up with more money in its general and water fund than anticipated, according to an audit for 2012-13 released at the Village Board’s Oct. 14 meeting.

Dan Berg of Naperville-based Sikich LLP told the board that the village’s intake from sales tax exceeded budget by more than $100,000, while its revenue from state-shared income tax was $170,000 more than expected.

The increases are signs that more people are working, Berg said.

The audit also indicated a need for the village to improve its tracking of the cost of operating its water system. The village expects to more accurately measure the costs this year as it replaces water meters throughout the village.

Finance Director Lou Cipparrone said the village is finalizing the replacement of the meters and implementing software that will allow staff to read them in real time. He said he expects the system to be ready in a couple weeks.

Students contribute to book dedicated to fallen diplomat SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA LA GRANGE – A book created by children from local schools at The Well Spirituality Center was released Oct. 13 with a special dedication.

In April, the center hosted elementary students from St. John of the Cross in Western Springs and seven other schools for a leadership retreat designed to foster relationships across social, ethnic and economic boundaries.

One of the participating schools was St. Luke in River Forest, the former school of U.S. diplomat Anne Smedinghoff, 25, who earlier that month was killed when a

bomb set off by the Taliban exploded as her group traveled to deliver textbooks for Afghani school children.

During the retreat, Smedinghoff’s parents talked to the students, whose experience of learning about their loss was reflected in the words and images they created in “A Language of the Heart,” based on an original composition

by Kathy Sherman from the Congregation of St. Joseph.

The book, released Oct. 13 during a celebration at the center, was dedicated in Smedinghoff’s memory. It is available online at www. ministryofthearts.com, with proceeds used to distribute books in Afghanistan.

Bottle & Bottega wins two company awards

By ALEX RUPPENTHAL aruppenthal@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE – Bottle & Bottega in downtown La Grange recently received two awards from the company’s national office.

At Bottle & Bottega’s annual convention this summer, owners Meg and Paul LeFaivre received The Picasso award, for highest sales growth, and The Warhol, for highest achievement in marketing and community involvement.

Their location, at 1 W. Harris Ave., opened in June 2012.

“It was kind of a surprise, but not a [complete] surprise, because we thought we were doing well,” Meg LeFaivre said.

The business has taken an active role in the community, participating in events such as the West End Art Festival and hosting a monthly speed networking night for area employees. The events have given the LeFaivres a chance to explain the idea behind

Bottle & Bottega, which offers art classes paired with wine.

“It is a fairly new concept in our area, and probably the hardest part is getting people connected with what it is we do,” Meg LeFaivre said. “A lot of people need to see it to understand it.”

Upcoming classes include painting Halloween lanterns from mason jars and glass painting for the holidays.

Bottle & Bottega has 10 locations, five in the Chicago area.

Tapeko, an 31-year-old bottle-nosed dolphin, swims with her new calf, born Oct. 16 at the Brookfield Zoo. The birth was celebrated by the zoo, which followed the sudden death of another new calf in August.

8NEWS BRIEF COUNTRYSIDE Police host Drug Take Back Day on Saturday Countryside Police will host a Drug Take Back Day Saturday in an effort to prevent drug abuse and theft.

The public can bring expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs to the police department, located at 5550 East Ave., for disposal. The service is free, and no questions will be asked.

The initiative is part of a

nationwide Drug Enforcement Administration program that collected more than 742,000 pounds of prescription drugs from 5,800 sites in April.

Studies show that the majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, Countryside police said in a news release.

For information, go to dea.gov or call Deputy Chief Scott Novak at 708-485-2516.

Shop at local grocers With the closing of Dominick’s food stores imminent, people in smaller towns like La Grange Park and Brookfield should shop at your local grocer to keep them going. If you don’t have them as a source of sales tax revenue, your town will have severe problems with property taxes and providing services without really hiking the tax dollars.

So please, don’t go to the big conglomerates outside your town. You’re just helping them and their union busting.

Signage rules needed Hi, I’d like to Sound Off about the signage issue in downtown La Grange. I think it’s very important that all the businesses be able to put up signs and advertise their business.

However, I think there needs to be a standard as to the quality of what the signs look like.

La Grange is starting to look like a strip mall. And that’s not what La Grange is. La Grange is a charming, historic village. The people in charge of this need to have some type of quality control on what the signs look like so we maintain the charm of downtown La Grange through the signage.

Restaurant reviews

Take a trip to Polynesia at Chef Shangri-La NORTH RIVERSIDE – To say that Chef Shangri-La takes diners to another world is no exaggeration. When my dining companion and I stepped inside the Asian fusion restaurant in North Riverside, we knew immediately the meal would be far from average.

The interior décor is immersive, and includes Polynesian statuary, woven graphic bamboo paneling, leafy fronds and colorful paper lanterns.

As the hostess greeted us, we were told the venue’s “Island Adventure and Fire Dance Friday,” held the second Friday of each month, was about to begin. Uncertain what to expect, but pleased with the turn of events, we were seated at the restaurant’s communal table and placed our drink orders.

When it comes to island cocktails, Chef Shangri-La does not disappoint. There are an abundance of brightly-colored, maraschino-adorned beverages on the menu.

I chose a Mai Tai, which balanced the aggressive warmth of rum with cool, citrusy lime juice. My companion boldly selected the Volcano, a fruity concoction featuring rum, raspberry liqueur, cran-raspberry juice and grenadine. The cocktails were excellent, but not for the faint of heart. Weak drinks are not an option there.

Unable to select just one appetizer, we placed an order for the combination tray, just as the lights dimmed. Drinks in hand, we settled in to enjoy the show.

The dances were lively and upbeat, and had origins in countries such as Samoa, Tahiti, New Zealand and Hawaii. The performers wore colorful clothing, grass skirts and headdresses, while a host guided patrons through various island traditions, occasionally requesting audience participation.

Somewhere between Tahiti and Hawaii, our appetizers arrived. Highlights included the teriyaki beef skewers and chicken wings.

For my entree, I ordered the sesame chicken, designated a chef’s signature entree.

It included delicately breaded chicken breast, bok choy, pea pods and an overflowing bowl of gravy. The chicken was well-cooked, and the crispy

green pea pods provided complementary crunch.

My companion was equally satisfied with the spicy Szechwan beef, served with a colorful pile of peppers and onions and a garnish of roasted peanuts.

The portions were heaping, and, as the meal came to a close, everyone at the communal table filled more than one to-go box.

The dancers, too, reached the end of the production,

MORE BEARS COVERAGE AT HUBARKUSH.COM

Bears’ D gets a ‘D’ heading into bye week Hub Arkush

The Bears are 4-3 heading into the bye. At this point a year ago, they were 6-1. But it seems a bit of context is called for.

The Bears came into this season with a new head coach and staff; new starters at every position on offense but quarterback, running back, one of the receiver spots and center; and four new starters on defense, including the nickel back.

Their goal was to see dramatic improvement on offense and in quarterback play while holding the line on defense.

Through seven games in 2012, the Bears’ offense was averaging 319.6 yards per game, 124 rushing, 195.6 passing and 31:43 time of possession.

On third down, they were 38 for 95, a

40 percent conversion rate. They had scored 185 points on 21 touchdowns, and piled up 51 penalties for 352 yards.

This year, they are averaging 367.7 yards per game, 112.9 rushing, 254.9 passing and 29:16 time of possession.

They are 30 for 83 on third down, a 36.1 conversion rate. They have scored 213 points on 25 touchdowns and have been called for 31 penalties for 273 yards.

Last year after seven games, Jay Cutler was completing 58.1 percent of his passes, had 1,545 yards for a 7.19 average, nine touchdown passes and eight interceptions. He was sacked 25 times for 175 yards lost, and he had a 78.9 passer rating.

In 2013, Cutler is completing 64.9 percent of his throws. He has 1,658 yards for a 7.4 average, 12 touchdowns, seven interceptions, only 10 sacks for 71 yards and a 91.7 rating.

The offense is significantly improved, and head coach Marc Trestman, offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer and their staff deserve a B+ or A-. Third down efficiency and time

of possession are the only concerns.

Unfortunately, the defense is a completely different story.

In 2012 through seven games, the defense had allowed 131 first downs.

It was 31 for 91 on third down, a 34 percent efficiency rate. It allowed 77.9 yards per game rushing and 238.1 yards per game passing for a total of 316 yards per game. The Bears’ defense piled up 23 sacks for 155 yards in losses, had 16 interceptions and forced 16 fumbles, recovering seven. The unit allowed nine touchdowns and 100 points.

This year, the Bears have given up 147 first downs, are 39 of 88 on third downs, a 44.3 percent conversion rate.

The defense has given up 117.3 yards per game rushing and 273.7 yards passing for a total of 391 per game. They have only nine sacks for 66 yards, 10 interceptions and have forced 15 fumbles, recovering eight. They’ve allowed 23 touchdowns and 206 points.

Having allowed more than twice as many points as a year ago, Trestman, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker and

ON NOW End of Year Pricing Now thru Oct. 31st!

their staff get a D. All that separates them from an F is the fact that they are somehow 4-3.

Unlike the offense, where all the key players have shown improvement, on defense Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman are the only players playing as well or better than they did last year.

There is tremendous concern that the playoffs are out of reach, with Cutler and Briggs joining Henry Melton, Nate Collins and D.J. Williams with serious injuries, but that is premature. If Josh McCown can play like he did in Washington until Cutler gets back, and veterans Julius Peppers, Corey Wootton, James Anderson, Jennings and Tillman can play to their abilities, there is hope.

With St. Louis, Minnesota, Dallas, Cleveland and Philadelphia still on the schedule, in addition to Baltimore, Detroit and two with the Packers, there are plenty of winnable games left.

The biggest questions are how soon can Cutler and Briggs get back, and what will Trestman do until they do?

Top 10 Fantasy Disappointments 10. Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jaguars: Aggregate Draft Position: 25/Total Points: 44/Points Per Start: 6.3

fore the injury (14 carries for 77 yards), and there is a possibility that time has caught up with the 10-year veteran.

5. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: ADP: 27/TP: 92/PPS: 13.1

9. Andre Johnson, WR, Texans: ADP: 31/TP: 54/PPS: 7.7

7. Roddy White, WR, Falcons: ADP: 34/TP: 10/PPS: 2.0

Despite 48 catches and 584 yards, Johnson has failed to score a touchdown. He has suffered from shin problems and bad quarterback play.

Other than Matt Ryan, Atlanta has been a fantasy disaster. White is the disaster’s poster boy. He has the fewest points (8) of any of the first 35 players drafted. White has been dealing with ankle and hamstring issues and was inactive in Week Seven.

8. Chris Johnson, RB, Titans: ADP: 17/TP: 63/PPS: 9.0 Johnson has averaged 30 yards rushing over his past four games, and he does not have a single rushing touchdown this season. He is gaining a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. The only thing keeping him from being higher on the list is the fact that he has two long receiving touchdowns.

6. Steven Jackson, RB, Falcons: ADP: 16/TP: 17/PPS: 8.5 Six weeks is a pretty long time to be out with a hamstring injury, but Jackson hasn’t played since Week Two against St. Louis. He wasn’t lighting the world on fire be-

Would you believe that Eli Manning and Geno Smith have more fantasy points than Brady? It’s true. In fact, 20 quarterbacks have outscored Tom Terrific, which means – unless you play in a 21-team league – Brady should be on your bench.

4. Doug Martin, RB, Buccaneers: ADP: 2/TP: 52/PPS: 8.7 So you drafted Martin with the No. 2 overall pick, eh? Because the “Muscle Hamster” is currently the 88th highest-scorer in fantasy, it’s probably safe to label him a disappointment.

3. Ray Rice, RB, Ravens: ADP: 7/ TP: 45/PPS: 7.5 Traditionally one of fantasy’s more reliable running backs, Rice is averaging just

2.8 yards per carry. He has scored three rushing touchdowns.

2. CJ Spiller, RB, Bills: ADP: 5/TP: 42/PPS: 8.4 Picked second in many drafts, Spiller has been a bust.

He has one touchdown and triple that number in fumbles.

Not only does he trail 33 running backs in fantasy points, he’s not even the leading fantasy back in Buffalo.

1. Trent Richardson: ADP: 10/TP: 47/PPS: 6.7 Richardson tops the list due to the fact that he has been healthy all year and has disappointed for two teams.

He played the first two games of the season with the Browns.

He scored no touchdowns and rushed for less than 60 yards in both. Since joining the Colts, he has scored two touchdowns. His best performance came against Jacksonville when he managed just 60 yards on 20 carries.

About halfway into the fantasy season, certain patterns have emerged. It’s becoming clear that several players who were projected to have monster fantasy seasons are not going to live up to their 2013 expectations.

Let’s take a look at the top 10 busts and what triggered the disappointing results.

About the list: To be considered a Top 10 Fantasy Disappointment, a player must have had an aggregate draft position in the top 35 using the CBS Sports fantasy football website for reference.

In a 12-team league, JonesDrew was likely selected in the late-second or early-third round. It might seem unfair to pick on a guy who is on such a lousy team, but MJD has produced on bad teams in the past. He has only two touchdowns and has not smelled 100 yards all season.

SPORTS Mr. Versatility

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ELMHURST – Matt Mrazek does a lot of different things for the Lyons Township football team and does all of them well.

The senior captain plays both ways and contributes on special teams to be an essential do-it-all athlete for the Lions.

In Mrazek’s latest performance, he made his biggest plays at wide receiver with eight catches for 102 yards and two touchdowns, which helped the Lions beat York 42-23 to keep their playoff hopes alive heading into the season finale against Proviso West.

“He had some great, tough catches,” LT coach Kurt Weinberg said. “He kept some drives alive and just did some great things with picking up some tough catches and was physical inside, as well.”

Mrazek now has six touchdowns on the season to go with three interceptions as a safety. The 6-foot-4 Mrazek also started as a forward for the Lions’ basketball team last year and will be an equally important part of that team in the winter.

For now, his versatility suits the football squad.

“He’s gone all over the place,” Weinberg said. “We’ve played him at tight end. We play him at wide receiver. We play him at safety. He plays on extra points and kickoff. He wears many hats for our team and he does it really well.”

Mrazek’s most visible aspect of his game is currently his play at wide receiver. He is part of a receiving core that has given quarterback Tommy Fiedler plenty of options.

Fiedler completed passes to six different receivers against the Dukes. Mrazek credited the emergence of fellow senior wide out Marcell Kellum for

being the focus of opposing defenses.

Both Kellum and Mrazek have spoken of the off-the-field chemistry with Fiedler that has helped the Lions’ passing game.

“He knows if he needs a bail out he’s got guys he can go to in the receiving corps,” Mrazek said. “He’s been playing well lately and we’re looking to ride this out the rest of the year.”

The Lions have won three of four games to get back in the playoff hunt. Thanks to the strong West Suburban Silver and a non-conference slate that included playoff teams Warren and Willowbrook, five wins will get LT to the playoffs.

If the Lions get to 5-4, they won’t be a team anyone will want to face. LT’s up-tempo, spread offense is one reason why they are a tough matchup.

“We like to pride ourselves on our conditioning,” Mrazek said. “We can run teams into the ground. You see a lot of Matthew Piechalak – mpiechalak@shawmedia.com guys [on the other team] bent over and we’re all standing up Lyons Township senior Matt Mrazek, here checking in as an eligible receiver during the Sept. 27 game at Downers Grove North, has been a key two-way player for the Lions this season. straight.”

RIVERSIDE – After winning five games last season and failing to make the playoffs, seniors like Robbie Brindley made sure the Roadrunners would make the playoffs this season.

Naz’s defense put in another impressive performance in a 41-0 win at Riverside Brookfield on Friday. It gave the Roadrunners their all-important sixth win of the season to clinch a playoff birth.

“A bunch of kids worked in the offseason and wanted that goal,” said Brindley, a defensive back for the Roadrunners. “I’m just happy right now that we finally accomplished it.”

The defensive unit earned its second shutout of the season to follow up on strong showings against prolific offenses from Benet and Notre Dame. Other than a pair of outliers when Marist and Joliet Catholic scored 42 points each on Naz, the Roadrunners haven’t allowed 20 points in a game.

“We play aggressive,” Brindley said. “We always play together. It’s not one kid on the defense who is a complete five-star recruit, but we always play together as a team and just fly to the ball.”

Naz has won four straight since losing to Joliet Catholic 42-0 in Week 4. Brindley described the lopsided loss as a fluke, but the Hilltoppers have emerged as the leader

Nazareth’s Julian Love (center) finds running room in the open field during the Roadrunners’ 41-0 win over host Riverside Brookfield on Friday. in the East Suburban Catholic Conference thanks to Naz knocking Notre Dame and Benet from the top of the conference standings.

The dominant win over RB came despite four first half turnovers. Naz still went into halftime up 21-0 and put the game away with a pair of scores early in the third quarter.

With a playoff spot secured, the Roadrunners can improve their playoff seed in Class 5A. To earn a home game in the first round they would need to beat 2-5 Marian Catholic

in the season finale Saturday and get some help from 7-1 and 6-2 teams projected to be ahead of them in the seeds.

If the IHSA groups the 5A playoffs into geographical quarters like last year, the Roadrunners could see undefeated teams like Montini, Sycamore, Rich Central and Glenbard South early in the playoffs.

Joliet Catholic, Bremen and Kaneland are also 7-1 teams with talented squads.

After playing in the ESCC, Naz won’t be afraid of anyone.

Friars’ defense shuts out De La Salle SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA

Fenwick’s football team bounced back from its lone defeat of the season by shutting out De La Salle 20-0 in what was essentially Chicago Catholic White title game Saturday night. Both teams entered with undefeated records in the CCL White, but Fenwick proved to be the better team with a dominant defensive performance.

Richard Schoen had most

of Fenwick’s big plays with a punt return for a touchdown, a 37-yard TD reception and two interceptions. In addition to passing for the score to Schoen, quarterback Gino Cavalieri ran in a 13-yard score for the Friars. All the scoring came in the first half.

The Friars (7-1, 3-0 CCL White) can seal the outright league title with a win over St. Laurence (4-4, 1-2) on Saturday.

Downers Grove North 34,

Proviso West 14 The Panthers lost a fifth straight game in the West Suburban Silver.

The Trojans took a 13-0 halftime lead. Tyrone Neal got West on the board with a 65-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown in the third quarter. North scored twice more before the Panthers got on the board again.

Quarterback Dennis Bryant Jr. hit Byron Jackson for a 40-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead

to 27-14, but the Panthers didn’t score again.

Hales Franciscan 56, St. Joseph 0 The Chargers were shut out for the third time this season and took the biggest defeat since the season opener.

St. Joseph will finish the season 2-7 after winning by forfeit this weekend against St. Francis de Sales, which dropped its varsity schedule in Week 4.

When: 7:30 p.m. Friday Where: Bennett Field, 4900 Willow Springs Rd., Western Springs Records: LT 4-4 (3-2 WSS); Proviso West (2-6, 0-5 WSS) Outlook: The Lions are one win away from another miraculous 5-4 playoff appearance.

Thanks to a strong schedule it looks like five wins will be enough for LT to get in. All they have to do is beat a Proviso West team that has fallen short of expectations this season. The Panthers are winless in the West Suburban Silver, ending a streak of four straight playoff appearances.

LT volleyball on upswing as postseason looms

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com The volleyball postseason begins on Monday for all classes. Nazareth may have the best team in the area, but also has the toughest draw.

Elsewhere, Lyons Township and Riverside Brookfield are hoping to pull off upsets to win a regional.

O t h e r a r e a t e a m s b egin play next week with the hopes of starting a long postseason run to Redbird Arena in Normal, home to the state finals for all classes.

Lyons Township Regional: St. Ignatius Sectional: Morton First match: 7 p.m. Tues., Oct. 29, vs. No. 11 Downers Grove South or No. 21 Simeon Outlook: Hampered by injuries to four main contributors, the Lions have had an up and down regular season.

Coach Joann Pyritz is hopeful that the returns of Hannah Juley and Jessi Skonning will boost the team’s playoff chances.

Both players returned over the weekend during the Maine West Pumpkin Tournament. The Lions were seeded eighth in the 24-team tournament and placed sixth.

Juley, a junior setter committed to Wisconsin, injured her foot during the first week of practice and made her season debut over the weekend.

Skonning, a junior outside hitter, suffered a concussion during the season.

“We’ve had a little bit of a slow start this year, but we’ve had four injured players,” Pyritz said. “Everybody had to mix it around and play some different positions.”

Senior Alex Hojnar has stepped up as the team’s top offensive threat with all the injuries.

“Hojnar has done a nice job as a senior leader, in particular on the floor,” Pyritz said.

The revitalized Lions earned the No. 5 seed in the sectional and could see No. 4 St. Ignatius in a regional final.

sectional.

Fenwick Regional: St. Ignatius Sectional: Morton First match: 6 p.m. Mon.,

Morton

Oct. 28, vs. No. 20 Curie Outlook: The Friars have struggled in the incredibly tough East Suburban Catholic Conference this fall.

Fenwick entered Tuesday’s conference finale at Bishop McNamara with an 0-7 record in the ESCC. The No. 13 seed Friars will play a regional quarterfinal against Curie on Monday. If Fenwick can extend its season with a win, No. 4 seed and regional host St. Ignatius would await in a regional semifinal the next day.

Senior middle hitter Samantha Pethokoukis, a Western Springs resident, is committed to Siena and will lead the Friars’ in the playoffs.

Oct. 28, vs. No. 16 Jones Outlook: The Mustangs entered Tuesday’s conference finale against Proviso East with an 0-5 record in the West Suburban Gold and could have a tough time stringing together wins in the playoffs.

If No. 17 seed Morton gets past No. 16 Jones from the Chicago Public League in the Class 4A regional quarterfinal, the Mustangs will then take on Glenbard South. The Raiders are the top seed in the sectional.

Morton last won a regional in 2004.

Nazareth Regional: Timothy Christian

Sectional: Coal City First match: 7 p.m. Tues., Oct. 29, vs. No. 3 Montini or No. 6 St. Joseph Outlook: The Roadrunners have had a memorable regular season. They have already surpassed the 20-win mark and are in the top half of the ultra-competitive East Suburban Catholic Conference.

Despite that, Naz’s path in the playoffs is about as hard as it gets. The Roadrunners were drawn into arguably the toughest regional in the state.

Naz was assigned to the Class 3A Coal City sectional and instead of seeding the entire sectional, the IHSA separated each regional for geographical reasons.

As a result, five 20-win teams are all in the Timothy Christian regional. Heading up the group is defending Class 3A champ St. Francis.

Naz comes in as the No. 2 seed. No. 3 Montini already has over 25 wins and Wheaton Academy and Timothy Christian also have over 20 wins on the season.

Youngstown State commit Samantha Brown leads the team in kills and junior Julia Saunders has also been a dangerous weapon for the Roadrunners. Both will be counted on as Naz tries to get to the

Regional: Morton Sectional: Hinsdale South First match: 7 p.m. Mon.,

Riverside Brookfield Regional: Proviso West Sectional: Morton First match: 7 p.m. Tues., Oct. 29, vs. No. 7 Whitney Young Outlook: Riverside Brookfield has some impressive wins this season, but has struggled to play that well on a consistent basis.

RB has two tournament titles on its resume, but finished 16th out of 24 teams at the Maine West Pumpkin Tournament over the weekend against a strong field.

The Bulldogs handed Metro Suburban Conference leader Timothy Christian its only conference loss, but entered Tuesday’s MSC finale against Ridgewood with a 6-5 league record.

The up and down play earned the Bulldogs the No. 10 seed in the Class 4A Morton sectional. If they can get past No. 7 Whitney Young in a regional semifinal, No. 2 Downers Grove North would likely await in the final.

Seniors Amanda Lelivelt and Monica Kasper have led the attack and will be keys to RB’s playoff success.

St. Joseph Regional: Timothy Christian

Sectional: Coal City First match: 7 p.m. Mon., Oct. 28, vs. No. 3 Montini Outlook: Like Nazareth, the Chargers are in the bru-

It’s not often a team with more than 25 wins in the regular season has to play a regional quarterfinal, but that’s the resume of St. Jo-

seph’s opponent, Montini.

St. Joseph holds the No. 6 seed in the six-team regional. The winner takes on No. 2 Nazareth, another talented team with more than 20 wins.

His younger brother, Jon, tied for 19th by shooting a 153 (76-77). Jon, a junior, will be the Lions’ most experienced returner next fall.

for 10th at Weibring Golf Club at Illinois State University.

LT girls take sixth Ciara Rattana led the Lions with a 156 to tie for 16th individually as the team placed sixth in Class AA.

Senior Sarah Donahoe (168), Michele Siamis (170), Melissa Marston (173), Jameson Mitchell (173) and Macy Tabachka (178) also competed at the tournament, which took place at Hickory Point Golf Club in Decatur.

The mother and son team make up Higgins Glass Studio, 33 E. Quincy, entrusted to the Wimmers to carry on the art crafted by their long time mentors, Fran and Michael Higgins, who began the company in 1948.

Louise and Jonathan agree that it was Fran’s ideas and Michael’s energy and ingenuity that led these two huge talents to start their work out if their Chicago apartment in 1948.

Over the years their art sold in such major retailers as Marshall Field’s, Georg Jensen and Bullocks Wilshire, the very high end store in the California based department store chain.

In 1966, the Higgins decided to return to private studio work and set up their offices in Riverside. The website notes that “here they were free to set their own goals, meet their own standards and design in the direction their hearts and minds led them.”

There’s a lot of history in Higgins, and the Wimmers are proud of their work and the company.
