“Serving our communities to make them better places to live.”

By DANNY CIAMPRONE WESTMONT – A village is often defined by the quality of its schools, businesses, and parks – but it’s the people that make a community a special place to live.

That impassioned message rang loud and clear Thursday at the 2014 Westmont Community Awards Dinner.

“I realize that our village, our town, is made up of people who are seated here right now,” said Gregg Pill, president of the Westmont Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau.

“There are people who volunteer, who lead various organizations, and participate in the community. They are the spirit, create the environment, and enable others to go ahead and succeed and have a wonderful community.”

Pill and the Westmont Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau (WCCTB) hosted its annual awards dinner Thursday at the Oak Brook Hills Resort, honoring a number of businesses and residents for their service to the community and work throughout the village.

“Is this a great town or what?” asked resident Jimmy Wright as he accepted the Westmont Special Events Corporation Making Memories Award, which is given annually to the individual who supports community events and helps showcase local businesses.

A lifelong Westmont resident, a younger Wright immersed himself in the community when his father, James Wright, served as Westmont’s mayor from 1973-77.

“I’m very humbled by all

Erica Benson ebenson@ shawmedia.com

this,” Wright said. “This was a shock to me when I was told about this award, and I think my response was, ‘why me?’”

The 2013 Public Safety Officer-of-the-Year Award went to Captain Craig Skala, Sr., of the Westmont Fire Department, who is not only the parttime captain, but also the fulltime administrative director.

“We know his accomplishments, but none is bigger than being a husband, father and grandfather,” said Debby Piha, who presented the award. “The look in his eye, his joy, when he is seen with his family may answer why he does it. He is one of Westmont’s finest.”

When Westmont Fire Chief David Weiss learned the Public Safety Officer-of-the-Year Award would be a fire department representative, he didn’t wait long to nominate Skala, explaining that he “exemplifies” what the community looks for in a leader.

“I work with a great group of professional men and women,” Skala said. “Over the years, I’ve watched the department grow and it’s really been a privilege to be a part of it all.”

Several Westmont businesses were also honored for

their accomplishments.

Post-hospital physical rehabilitation clinic Burgess Square Healthcare & Rehab Centre took home the Dick Busse Business-of-the-Year Award.

Burgess Square Healthcare & Rehab Centre Administrator Mike Hensley accepted the award, thanking the chamber and the entire Westmont community. He said the Burgess Square team is one of the best he’s worked with and successfully rehabilitated over 500 people in 2013. “[Administrators] John [Vrba], Anthony [Schreiber] and I don’t agree often, but we do agree that care comes above all else,” Hensley said.

“We believe that if we keep doing the right things, it will all work out.”

The evening concluded with the Westmont Citizen of the Year Award, which honors a resident that exudes tremendous leadership and initiative in the community.

Cathy Casey-Crane or Joyce Feltz were the finalists for this year’s top individual honor, and Mayor Ron Gunter said each demonstrated “exceptional” involvement and leadership with the village of Westmont.

DuPage County applies for $7 million flood relief grant

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com

Spending timeline

Those hit by the April 2013 floods may get a fresh wave of relief this spring, as the DuPage County Board approved a plan during its meeting March 11 to apply for a $7 million Flood Assistance Grant.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant could allow the county’s Stormwater Management Department to purchase up to 14 additional homes in floodplain areas and rehabilitate 60 homes effected by the April floods, according to the plan.

It could also expand municipalities’ ability to fund property buyouts and infrastructure and offer about $3 million toward the construction of the Klein Creek watershed project at Armstrong Park in Carol Stream.

• Federal department reviews plan within 45 days • DuPage County receives $1.5 million to be expended within two years • Further amendments to the request must be submitted

by June 1, 2017 • All funds must be expended

by Sept. 29, 2019 or within two years of the department’s obligation of final funds, whichever is sooner

The county has operated a Buyout Program since 1991, the plan said, and has already purchased more than 100 homes and identified 223 more that are eligible.

It is often difficult to find permanent, cost-effective

instead of in three phases.

She said the project was chosen because it was considered “shovel-ready” to meet the deadlines of the grant, which requires all money be spent by September 2019. “[Housing and Urban Development] has a very specific timeline and deadline, and there was a lot of money to figure out how to work within their parameters so quickly,” she said. “It just so happens we were able to put it together quickly and efficiently to maximize what DuPage County could get from them in terms of funding.”

The department has 45 days to review the plan, Keating said, before it is approved or returned for modifications.

The full proposed action plan can be found at www. dupageco.org/cdbg-dr/.

DOWNERS GROVE – Most of folk musician Vicki Ingle’s original songs are autobiographical, and many fit a similar theme – moving away from bad situations, women finding happiness or freedom in a new place.

Those themes are unfortunately real for many women in a country where 30 percent of female emergency room visits are related to ongoing abuse, according to Family Shelter Services.

The reaction from many women hearing her songs like “Out of This World,” or “Walking Away from the Blues,” is readily apparent during performances, she said.

The fact that “Walking Away from the Blues” was written by Rich Ingle – her current husband, and second half of their folk duo, Comfort Food – can be surprising to people, she said, due to its subject matter.

“It’s very specifically about my experience,” she said.

Comfort Food will be joined by singer-songwriters Robinlee Garber and Amy Dixon-Kolar for a fundraising concert at Caribou Coffee in Downers Grove in support of Family Shelter Services.

The event is being held in celebration of Women’s History Month, which began March 1.

The triple-bill begins at 7 p.m. Saturday. The show is free but donations will be collected for Family Shelter Services. The organization offers help, shelter and assistance to families affected by domestic violence.

“We can’t take these services for granted – they need funding to exist,” Vicki Ingle said.

THE HOME DENTAL FIRST-AID KIT Q: What items should be in a home dental first-aid kit?

A: Right on top should be the phone number of your dentist. In case of emergency, you want to get to your dentist as soon as possible.

But assuming your dentist is not immediately available, here are some items you should have at home to deal with emergencies: sterile gauze pads in case you have to staunch bleeding from a cut; a mild pain reliever like aspirin or acetaminophen to help get you through the early stages of a toothache: an over-thecounter topical anesthetic ointment or liquid, like Anbesol or Campho-Phenique, to use on mouth sores: dental wax, which you can get from your dentist or at a pharmacy, and is helpful for covering a protruding, irritating wire from orthodontia, or to temporarily cover the jagged edge of a chipped tooth; and table salt and baking soda, either of which you can dissolve in warm water to make a soothing mouthwash to address a toothache.

You can also make an effective cold pack by putting ice cubes in a plastic bag and then putting the bag inside a damp dishtowel.

Fifteen minutes on; fifteen minutes off.

Generally for a dental emergency, you want to see your dentist. But if the dentist is not available and you think the situation is serious, also have in the kit the location of the nearest hospital emergency room. Talk with your dentist about what you should have at home to deal with a dental emergency.

Herrick student heads to national spelling bee

By ED MCMENAMIN

Nafisa Asad

emcmenamin@shawmedia.com DOWNERS GROVE – Some of the words Herrick Middle School eighth grader Nafisa Asad spelled correctly – schipperke, azimuth and zeitgeber – to win the county spelling be would be hard enough for an adult to define, let alone spell on a moment’s notice.

“I read a lot,” she said Thursday, explaining her success, though she had never seen those words before in a book.

“I guess I retain information well. So whenever I see a word I don’t know, I like to look it up and find out what it means. And I did learn some Latin root words, and lots of other root words from other languages to help me spell.”

Asad’s victory Feb. 26 at the DuPage County Spelling Bee at Wheaton North High School won her and her parents, Asad and Farah Cheema, a free trip, sponsored by ComEd, to compete in the 2014 Scripps Na-

Age: 13 School: Herrick Middle School Town: Oak Brook Parents: Asad and Farah Cheema

Erica Benson - ebenson@shawmedia.com

Herrick Middle School eighth-grader Nafisa Asad of Oak Brook won the DuPage County Spelling Bee. tional Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. The five day competition from May 26 to 31 will air nationally on ESPN3.

Asad, of Oak Brook, earned her seat at the county tournament by winning the Herrick/O’Neill middle schools

spelling bee Feb. 10. In the days between, county contestants studied 16 pages of words in small type.

The early rounds of the tournament used words from the list, but once the competition dwindled to Asad and the other finalists, judges could

pull any word from a mammoth 2,662 page dictionary. It proved to be no problem for Asad, who did not miss a word all day.

It was the third time she competed at county, but her first championship.

“I didn’t think that I would win, but I hoped to be in the top three, maybe,” she said.

“And once I got there, I got real nervous because I realized I could actually win.”

She said she was in shock and speechless when she beat the final contestant standing between her and the prize. She received a certificate for the county championship, along with a huge dictionary to take home.

Now begins the arduous

task of going through the book page-by-page to prepare for the national bee.

But the eighth grader is not the only proficient speller in the family. In fact, her initial motivation to compete in spelling bees came from her older sister, Nuria Asad.

The family had hoped to go to Washington, D.C. for the Scripts Spelling Bee several years ago when Nuria won the Iowa State Spelling Bee. “We used to live in Iowa,” their father, Asad Cheema, said. “And they had no sponsor for the Scripps, so she wasn’t able to go. We could probably afford to send her anyway, but without a sponsor you cant go.”

The Cheema family also gave credit to the middle school, for Asad’s recent success.

“The staff and teachers at Herrick Middle School have been extremely supportive, especially assistant principal Matthew Neustadt and Megan Winthrop, her English teacher,” Asad Cheema said.

Child poverty in DuPage County up 66 percent, report says

By NATHAN LURZ nlurz@shawmedia.com More DuPage County children are living in poverty even as they become insured, according to a new report from advocacy organization Voices for Illinois Children.

The finding was part of the Illinois Kids Count 2014 report, presented at a press conference March 6 at the DuPage County Health Department.

“There is no single predictive factor that is more accurate when it comes to assessing health status than that of income status,” said health department Executive Director Karen Ayala. “So as the income status of our children decline, we must combat [it] and really focus our efforts on supporting these families.”

The number of DuPage County children whose households are at or below the poverty line [increased more than 66%, from 13,301 in 2006 to 22,111 in 2011]. That translates to a growth in the

county’s child poverty rate from 6 to 10 percent, the report said.

Positive Parenting DuPage Executive Director Courtney Simek joined Ayala and representatives from the nonprofits Teen Parent Connection and the People’s Resource Center at the conference.

Simek said the shift was due to the large demographic change the county has seen recently, which has provided new challenges to area service providers.

“We’re bringing in wide varieties of cultural backgrounds, different ethnicities to this community that ... in the past we’ve not been as familiar in working with,” Simek said. “The face of poverty has changed.”

Ayala said there has been an exodus of poverty from urban environments into the suburban collar counties.

“This is not an issue of health care alone,” she said.

“It’s an issue for educators, it’s an issue with housing, it’s an issue with workforce

development, it’s an issue for all elements and sectors of our community to really come together and address.”

People’s Resource Center Senior Director of Programs Melissa Travis said her organization had seen a rise in the number of people served in recent years. Many still hadn’t recovered from the 2008 recession, she said, a problem exacerbated by last year’s cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. “[The cuts] really negatively and disproportionately affect children,” Travis said. “Because when there’s less money for food in the household, something gets cut somewhere. It might be health care, it might be after school activities, but somewhere that money has to come for food.”

However, more children had health insurance in 2011 than 2006, with numbers of uninsured children dropping to 3.3 percent from 9.2 percent, the report stated.

• Percentage of children without health insurance down to 3.3 percent in 2011 from 9.2 percent in 2006 • Children’s enrollment in Medicaid and related programs increased by 138 percent from 2005 to 2012 • Child poverty rate rose from 6 percent in 2006 to 10 percent in 2011 compared to a rise of 17 to 21 percent statewide • Number of children living in poverty increased 66 percent from 2006 to 2011 • Number of substantiated cases of abuse and neglect increased 46 percent between 2006 and 2013 • Number of children in substitute care increased 133 percent between 2007 and 2013 • 4.2 percent of all births were teen births in 2009, compared to 9.5 percent statewide

rates of child abuse and neglect, teen births and reported crimes against children all stayed below statewide levels, according to the report. There was also a slight decline in body mass index rates and oral health improved, Ayala said.

The increase of substantiated cases of abuse and neglect increased 46 percent between 2006 and 2013. That was actually a good sign, Simek said, as it meant law enforcement was following through in investigating and reporting such cases.

“DuPage County looks pretty good,” Travis said.

“When you compare it with other counties in the state, we look really good. But good isn’t good enough when we’re talking about children.”

Upcoming plans and projects in Westmont Spring is upon us and we’re all looking forward to warmer weather. Your village government is busy making plans for the upcoming season. Following are a few of our projects and programs.

Congratulations, citizen of the year: I want to thank the chamber and all of the award recipients at the Westmont Awards Dinner on March 13 at the Oak Brook Hills Resort. It was my honor to present the Citizen of the Year Award to Joyce Feltz.

Joyce has been an incredible volunteer over the years and we greatly appreciate her service and dedication to the commuCOMMUNITY nity. Thank you.

VOICE

Thank you, public works:

Ron Various reports are declaring Gunter that this past winter has been one of the worst on record, both in terms of the amount of snow as well as number of extreme cold days. With that, I want to again express our great appreciation for our Public Works staff. They have done an outstanding job of keeping our roads safe.

Mayor after hours: We’re working on a new version of our Coffee with the Mayor program. Based on suggestions from residents and business owners, we’re going to plan a few Mayor After Hour events so that more restaurants and other businesses can get involved. Additionally, we’re hoping to reach more people during an evening event. Stay tuned for details.

Village budget workshops: Each year, our village approves a new annual budget in the month of May. Many months of preparation go into this process. The village will hold three public budget workshops so that the community can get involved and participate in the process. The dates and times are 6 p.m. April 2; 9 a.m. April 5; and 6 p.m. April 10. The workshops will be at the Village Hall, 31 W. Quincy St. Meetings will be recorded and made available for playback on the village YouTube Channel.

Street repairs: Last year, the village approved a bond so that we could begin some much needed street repairs. Road work priorities will be determined by an independent evaluation of our needs. You will see the beginning of these projects this spring and summer. We will keep you posted as details are confirmed.

Together, we can accomplish great things: The final sentence of the Westmont First mission statement reads: Together, we can accomplish great things. I invite all of our citizens to step forward and be part of the team. The investment you make will be the value you receive. As always, please contact me at rgunter@westmont.il.gov or 630-981-6201. I look forward to discussing your ideas regarding how we can continue to make Westmont a great place to live, work, raise a family, go out to eat, buy a car, and play.

Social security concerns

Commend Public Works

Although I’ve written to politicians on both sides – Democrats and Republicans – none have answered the simple question as to why the government has not repaid the social security back from the past and up to now. There would be more money than is ever needed if it had been left alone to build up. Do people have any idea as to how many people never received a check before dying? These crooks that took the money without a referendum from the public by vote should be in jail. Who by name are the politicians that signed the bills to remove money from Social Security without

I would like to commend the Public Works Department of Western Springs. They have done an excellent job of clearing our streets and repairing broken water mains during this never ending winter.

Reluctantly I called the village to report it, as if they haven’t already had enough to do. Within a couple of hours a crew came out and took care of the situation.

I am writing to express my disappointment in the selection and placement of the Al Capone exhibit at the Brookfield Library. It is very unfortunate the library thought this was an appropriate place for such a display. I understand the significance of his negative impact on our Midwest history. Did the library directors really think it was proper to locate Capone’s display in the children’s section of the library? Perhaps there in lies the problem ... they simply did not think?

Snow plow attack

Don’t need complex I’ve lived in Lemont all my life, more than 70 years, and I’m concerned about spending $41 million on a sports complex when we don’t have the money.

LETTERS Re-instituting Meals on Wheels Program

Write to us

When I found out that Downers Grove no longer had the Meals on Wheels program for seniors in our community it really concerned me and made me a bit upset. I love Downers Grove and everything it has to offer for me as a young adult, but when I get older, am I going to be able to live here independently if we don’t have services that would enable me to do so?

When I was younger, I participated in the Meals on Wheels program with my mom and let me tell you, it was quite a successful program and something I loved being a part of. Seeing the smiles on the elder’s faces and

We want to hear from you. Letters must be no more than 300 words. They must include your first and last name, town and a phone number for verification.

knowing that they were waiting at their door for my arrival, wanting to converse, was such a heartwarming feeling. Some of the seniors didn’t have family or friends around, so this program was something that gave them a connection to the outside world and made them not feel so isolated. It gave them a chance to socialize, which not only meant the world to them, but became a healthy contribution to their aging process as well.

I am aware that our community needs money for other services as well, but does that have to mean cutting out services that benefit one of the fastest growing populations? Being a senior citizen living on a fixed budget is a struggle in itself, but not being able to fully provide for yourself adds an even heavier load. The Meals on Wheels program is a service that not only makes these things a bit easier, but also allows the seniors to be able to have a more normal

standard of living. They can get the opportunity to socialize, be a bit more mobile, and gain nutritious meals all from just one potentially life changing service.

I sincerely hope you take these points on reinstating the Meals on Wheels program into consideration when trying to further the success of our community.

About the performers

Continued from page 5 fare and covers, she said, especially songs written by John Prine and Kate Wolf.

A lifelong lover of the blues and the daughter of a country-western musician, Ingle said her original songs are colored by those two genres.

Fellow Saturday night performer Robinlee Garber has also seen the affects of domestic violence during her career as an expressive arts therapist. In addition to visual arts, Garber also uses her musical talents to help those recovering in hospitals.

Garber said she grew up listening to her parents records – jazz and pop standards by the likes of Frank Sinatra – until her brother started coming home from college with Neil Young and Jethro Tull records.

That early pop and jazz exposure does still work its way into her music, she said.

“I like to write music and tunes that you can hum along to, but there’s also some twists and turns,” she said.

“I’ll play the major key but I’ll throw some jazz chords in to make it interesting.

“I love songs that tell stories. I love writing in a way that is not just repeating words over and over, that re-

8NEWS BRIEF

8700 Carriage Greens Drive Darien IL, 60561 (630) 985-3400

SD • Wednesday, March 19, 2014 • mysuburbanlife.com • Suburban Life

A 17-year veteran DuPage County Sheriff’s Office deputy has filed a lawsuit against Sheriff John Zaruba, claiming he was denied a transfer because he pushed for more collective bargaining rights and refused to donate to Zaruba’s political campaign.

Deputy Peter Coolidge named Zaruba and DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Chief Al Angus as defendants in the suit he filed in the U.S. District Court - Northern District of Illinois March 6, according to the court website.

Coolidge has been a deputy since September 1996, the suit said, when he started in the Corrections Bureau. He moved to the Patrol Division in 2002, then went back to corrections in 2008.

He believes he was denied

a transfer back to patrol in 2012 as retaliation for his unwillingness to contribute to Zaruba’s campaign fund and for demanding more collective bargaining rights for Sheriff’s Office employees, according to the suit.

The retaliation, which “continues to this day,” violates his constitutional rights, caused him to lose career opportunities and damaged his reputation, the suit said.

DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Paul Darrah declined to discuss the pending litigation.

The Sheriff’s Office did not respond to requests for comment.

Coolidge’s attorney also opted not to make a statement on the ongoing lawsuit.

The suit follows accusations of similar actions on the part of Zaruba made by seven deputies in November.

Are you sufering with an

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.

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.

Call for your FREE* 30 minute consultation: On Wednesdays. Expires 4/4/14 Go to my website, Lemontnaturalhealthcare.com, and click on “Autoimmune” for a presentation about my Autoimmune Recovery Program.

NEIGHBORHOOD ALERT: MAIL FRAUD/IDENTITY THEFT The Downers Grove Police Department has received reports of suspicious activity related to mail fraud and identity theft. In these cases, residents have received fraudulent credit cards labeled with their address, but containing an unknown person's name. Later, these residents received a note in their mailbox or were approached by a person who claimed that the mail was accidentally sent to the Downers Grove address. The suspect then asked the residents to mark the envelope "return to sender" and place the fraudulent credit card back in the mailbox. If successful, the suspect would return to pick up the envelope before the mail carrier arrived.

One of the suspects was described as an African American male in his 20's, accompanied by an African American female in her 50's. They were traveling in a gray Lexus 4-door sedan. Other suspects and vehicles may be involved.

It is a federal offense to place or remove anything without consent from a mailbox that does not belong to you. Call 911 if you witness anyone tampering with your mail or a neighbor's mail or notice suspicious activity in your neighborhood.

If you receive mail at your address with someone else's name, it could be related to fraudulent activity and should be returned by you to the U.S. Post Office for further investigation.

DID YOU KNOW? The Village does NOT require permits for garage sales.

Residents are limited, however, to four garage sales per calendar year.

SEVERE WEATHER Spring brings rapidly changing weather conditions which create severe weather. Residents should prepare for and be alert to these conditions and know what to do when they occur. Being aware of when and where to seek shelter during extreme weather events can save lives when seconds count.

The Village follows DuPage County guidelines for the activation of outdoor sirens. These guidelines have been developed to achieve consistency in the event that multiple jurisdictions activate warning sirens. The following will be used to determine if the sirens should be activated: • A confirmed sighting of a tornado, tracking toward the community, is reported by a trained weather spotter within the community or surrounding communities.

• The National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for Downers Grove.

• Confirmed reports of significant storm damage in the community.

The siren sound means Take Shelter Now, so please don't ignore it. The emergency is not over when the sirens stop and there will be no "all clear siren." Do not call 9-1-1 when you hear a siren.

It is important that communication lines remain free to respond to emergency reports.

If you are indoors you may not hear the siren. Be alert to changing weather conditions when severe weather is imminent by monitoring broadcast radio or television stations. There are also a variety of weather apps available for smart phone users.

For more information visit www.downers.us.

Community Memorial Foundation celebrates local leaders

By DANNY CIAMPRONE dciamprone@shawmedia.com HINSDALE – When speaking at seminars, “The Truth About Leadership” co-author Barry Posner often expounds some of his leadership philosophies with riddles.

Twelve frogs are sitting on a log in a pond and seven frogs decide to jump in. How many

frogs remain on the log?

The answer is all 12.

“Some of you are wondering how hard could this be,” Posner said during the Community Memorial Foundation’s leadership luncheon Feb. 28 at Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale.

“Because there’s a difference between deciding to do something and actually doing it.”

Leading by example was one of several leadership “truths” that Posner presented to the crowd of prominent community leaders, including Hinsdale Police Chief Brad Bloom, HCS Family Services Development Director Debbie Baker and Hinsdale Chamber of Commerce President Jan Anderson.

luncheon will inspire all of us to recommit ourselves to the leader that is within,” said Greg DiDomenico, president and CEO of the foundation.

“Thank you for being that leader, thank you for believing that working together is critical and thank you for your service.”

Community Memorial is a private, independent foundation established in 1995 as a result of the sale of the non-profit La Grange Memorial Hospital to Columbia HCA Corp.

The foundation’s grant making and community work are guided by its mission to improve the health of people who live and work in the western suburbs and to create healthier communities.

“If we’re going to really make a difference, if we’re going to become the healthiest region in the world, if that’s your aspiration, then it’s not going to happen over night.

It’s not going to happen just because you said it,” Posner said. “It will require a commitment, and it will require a whole bunch of people like yourselves all doing all the things that you’re doing and all making a difference.”

DiDomenico said throughout the past couple years the foundation has focused on leadership in the western suburbs aimed at strengthening it’s commitment.

“It’s really our attempt to celebrate leadership on every level,” he said.

Anderson explained while this was her first time serving as part of the host committee, she is excited to be a part of the burgeoning community of leaders.

“Bringing leaders together from various aspects of the community is really great, so I’m really happy to be a part of it,” she said.

To date, the foundation has awarded about $60 million to area non-profit organizations. The organization is governed by a 11-member volunteer board of directors and serves 27 communities in the western suburbs of Cook and southeastern DuPage counties.

“We need each other and I ask you to think about one or two things to take back to your organization to help us build the healthiest region in the country,” DiDomenico said.

In addition to the six “truths” Posner presented, he also introduced one law: If you don’t believe in the messenger, you won’t believe the message.

But the luncheon, as well as the presentation, was more about reinforcement, not learning new skills.

“Everyone of us in this room makes a difference, and everyone of us in this room is providing leadership in a variety of ways,” Posner said.

“I hope if I am successful today, I’m not going to tell you anything you don’t already know.”

Restaurant reviews

Kick up your appetite at Al’s Char-House LA GRANGE – They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and if that’s the case, then Al’s Char-House not only embodies the stereotype, but celebrates it with platters built for a state-size appetite and portions larger than my forearm.

Even on a freezing winter’s night, downtown La Grange is its same old self with bustling foot traffic, valet services working nonstop and restaurants keeping up with the demand.

Through a set of double doors next to Casa Margarita and down a stairwell, there exists a place in La Grange that could only be described as John Wayne’s subconscious fantasy.

Texas and cowboy memorabilia line every wall from the full-service bar area with fire pit to the multiple levels of a packed and hungry house.

Walking past the terrific Western-themed decor, including cowboy statues, saddles, badges and photographs, it was hard not to notice the king-size platters being brought to tables. I could hear guests saying to each other with a smile how they’ll have leftovers until [insert days in advance here].

As a result, I refrained from ordering an appetizer, but seeing the onion blossom specialty arrive at several tables close by tempted me in ways you could only imagine.

Instead, I resisted and opted for the main course.

The menu’s array of different strips of steak and ribs looked mouthwatering, but being a connoisseur of cheeseburgers, I had to go with the Charburger Plus, described by Al’s as its “super burger,” topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion.

Again, I have to be honest.

Right before going to Al’s, I went to see the new “Hunger Games” movie at the La Grange Theatre, so now eyeing a burger that took up most of my plate made me feel a little guilty. That was before I took the first bite.

Suburban Life Media photos

A cowboy dream awaits at Al’s Char-House in downtown La Grange, where the Western theme is as big as the portions.

Al’s Char-House n Where: 32 S. La Grange Road, La Grange n Hours: 4 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 4 to 11 p.m. Friday;

3 to 11 p.m. Saturday; noon to 10 p.m. Sunday

finding the strength to carry

The Charburger Plus lives up to its “super burger” billing, and can be on. customized with a variety of toppings.

If there ever were a time I “Is it good?” my mom asked.

But I couldn’t stop to answer her; I was too busy leaving shame at the door as the juices from the burger dripped down to my fingers and then back into my mouth.

My mom could tell what the answer would’ve been as she got started on her Chicken Marsala, two boneless chicken breasts sauteed in wine and

mushrooms. Despite not being able to finish the massive portions, we both enjoyed the leftovers for lunch the next day.

Our server was more than friendly, along with the rest of the staff, who twice during our visit got together to sing a happy birthday to guests.

I managed to request a brownie sundae for dessert, after loosening my belt and

chose wisely to indulge, it was now, as a brownie materialized covered in whipped cream, chocolate syrup and ice cream. My mom couldn’t eat another bite, but, as I said, shame already had been left at the door, so the spoon and my hand became one until the plate was empty.

With its selection of steaks, chicken dinners, kabobs and burgers, Al’s Char-House is a haven for carnivores, but

offers an occasional non-meat dish as an option.

For myself though, and much of the packed house in attendance, meat was the weapon of choice, and I would be happy to rearm at the La Grange steakhouse again.

Callahan gets national team camp call

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WESTMONT – Brett Callahan will be among elite company this weekend.

The Westmont resident and Downers Grove North freshman will be one of just 52 players from around the country at USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program camp March 21 to 25 in Ann Arbor, Mich.

“I’m pretty excited,” Callahan said. “It’s an honor just to make the tryouts. They only take 52 kids. It’s an honor and I’m looking forward to it.”

The camp, which will help select the 2014-15 U.S. U17 National Team, is for players born in 1998.

While participating in the development camp will be a new experience, Callahan won’t have to go it alone.

He will be one of four players from the Chicago Mission Youth Hockey Club at the camp, and Christian Fischer, a former Mission player currently playing for USA Hockey’s U17 National Team, also gave him a heads up.

“He’s been through the camp and he’s one of my friends, and he texted me and told me what to expect and what to be ready for,” Callahan said. “He just said not to overthink things and not to panic.”

One of only six Illinois players invited to the camp, Callahan has definitely earned his spot. The 15-year old plays for the Mission’s Midget Major team. The squad features several players born in 1995 and 1996, a few born in 1997, and just one born in 1998 – Callahan.

“I’m 15 and I play U18, and I’ve done pretty well up there,” Callahan said. “I’m a pretty good skater, and I think playing up and playing well with them helped me.”

Brett Callahan, a member of the Chicago Mission Midget Major team, will participate in USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program camp starting Friday. Callahan is one of just 52 players from around the country to earn an invitation to the camp.

While playing against older, bigger, more experienced players has posed challenges, it has also helped Callahan develop into the player he is today.

“It definitely was an adjustment,” Callahan said. “The kids are a lot bigger and stronger than I was used to, but we have a really good team and they are good teammates and they tell me what to look out for.

“It took me three weeks or a month to get adjusted to the

speed of the game and the size of the kids, and after that I was right there with them.”

Callahan also played baseball when he was younger, but skating and playing hockey has always been the ultimate for him, and a few years ago he put away his baseball glove for good.

“Pretty much my whole liFe, it’s been my favorite sport,” Callahan said.

He got his start on skates, on Rollerblades specifically, at the Darien Sportsplex when

he was young, which helped spark his interest in ice skating and playing hockey.

“I had went to a Rollerblading class that my parents signed me up for, and the ice rink was right across the hall,” Callahan said. “When I was done Rollerblading I’d go across the hall and watch the ice skaters and I told my parents I just wanted to try that.”

Ever since he began his hockey career, which started with house leagues, Callahan

has been a defenseman. Even though forwards tend to get more recognition because of their offensive stats and goalies are lauded for their spectacular saves, there is no place Callahan would rather be than along the blue line.

“I’m glad I play defense,” he said. “I think it takes a lot of smarts to play defense. You have to be able to read the play quickly, and especially at the older level you have to do it quickly and you have to have speed and skill to do it.”

ALL-AREA MVP

LISLE – The best basketball players are never content with their skills.

The best are always working to improve in some way.

Based on that criteria alone, Sean O’Mara is one of the best.

The senior center was already bigger than most players when he walked through the doors at Benet as a freshman, but it was his willingness to work and improve that turned him into a Division I player who is heading to Xavier in the fall. It’s his improvement that makes him the Suburban Life all-area team MVP. “He’s a very skilled big man,” said Benet head coach Gene Heidkamp, who knows something about skilled big men after coaching current Wisconsin standout Frank Kaminsky at Benet. “Obviously he’s got the size, but he’s also very unselfish and he’s a great passer. He has the ability to make everyone around him better.”

There aren’t many big men who are better passers than O’Mara. It’s a skill he developed out of necessity (to combat double- and triple-teams in the post) and because it’s an invaluable tool for a post player to have.

“I developed it, but I’ve had it for a little while and it’s been a really nice part of my game, I think,” O’Mara said. “My teammates really appreciate it as well because they know if the ball goes in the post it’s not a black hole, it’s going to come back out. You watch the game, it’s not like I’m lacking touches. My teammates know when I get the ball, good things are going to happen. Either I’m going to score, or I’ll get it back to them.”

Of course, O’Mara didn’t land a college scholarship just because he’s a good passer.

Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com

Benet’s Sean O’Mara slams home two points during a sectional semifinal game against Hinsdale Central on March 11 at East Aurora High School. The senior has developed into an elite center and will leave Benet as the program’s all-time leading scorer.

About Sean O’Mara School: Benet Year: Senior Height: 6-foot-9 Position: Center Jersey: No. 45 College: Xavier He has the strength to battle against the double-teams opponents typically throw at him. He possesses a variety of post moves which he can use to get to the rim. He can lower his shoulder and power to the hoop, or he can use his footwork to shake defenders and create space for an easier finish. He has also flashed an ability to hit jump shots from just outside the paint, another sign of his progression as a player.

“I’m a completely different player now,” O’Mara said.

“When I walked in the door at Benet, I was big, I was strong and I was able to kind of move people around, but that was eighth graders. I was going against 18-year olds, they’re men. To be able to go in and play against guys that were that physically capable in the game and also that skilled, it wasn’t like playing football [where you could just be physical], you had to be physical and skilled.”

Benet has a lineage of good big men, from O’Mara back to Kaminsky back to players who took the floor prior to Heidkamp’s tenure. Even with that history, O’Mara may go down as the best. Prior to the start of the playoffs he was averaging a double-double (23 points and 13 rebounds per game). Heading into Tuesday’s supersectional playoff game, he was at a program-leading 1,638 points and counting.

“He’s improved a lot during his career,” Heidkamp said.

“One thing you can say about Sean is he’s improved every aspect of his game every year.”

“Obviously he’s got the size, but he’s also very unselfish and he’s a great passer. He has the ability to make everyone around him better.”

Big blitz lifts Benet boys

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com

MYLES FARLEY

AURORA – Talk about deja vu.

For the second time in as many games, Benet’s boys basketball team blitzed an opponent early in the second half.

And for the second time in as many games, a strong second half led to a decisive win for the Redwings.

The Redwings topped Geneva 60-41 in Friday’s Class 4A East Aurora sectional championship game after leading just 26-23 at the half. Three days earlier, Benet pulled away from a halftime tie for a 61-50 win against Hinsdale Central in a sectional semifinal.

Benet (23-7) enjoyed a 14-2 run early in the third quarter behind big man Sean O’Mara (game-high 24 points) and Colin Bonnett, who hit a pair of third-quarter 3-pointers and finished with 11 points.

“I got two open looks, hit them both, and that kind of opened it up,” Bonnett said.

The win sent the Redwings to Tuesday’s Hinsdale Central

Downers Grove North Junior | Boys basketball Why Farley was selected: One of just a few returning varsity players, Farley stepped up in a leadership role for the Trojans this season.

On a team that had several sophomores in the rotation, junior Myles Farley was one of the most experienced players for Downers Grove North’s boys basketball team this season. Even though he had to deal with an injury that sidelined him for a handful of games this season, Farley managed to average nearly 10 points per game on the year. The 6-foot guard, the Sears Hardware and Appliance Athlete of the Week, spoke with Suburban Life sports editor Jason Rossi about his season on the basketball court and how he helped groom North’s younger players for future success.

What are your thoughts on this season?

This season went pretty all right. We had our ups and downs, but by the end I think we were getting better.

In what ways did you try to lead some of the younger players on the team?

I think I was more of a leader by example on the court and the way I played.

I think David Edwards was more the vocal leader.

How did the younger guys develop this season?

I think it became more natural for them because the varsity game is so physical.

They are very talented and pretty strong, but I think it became more natural for them as far as how to play at the varsity level.

Sectional final BENET 60, GENEVA 41 BENET LEADERS • Sean O’Mara: 24 points • Liam Nelligan: 12 points • Colin Bonnett: 11 points

Sectional semifinal BENET 61, HINSDALE CENTRAL 50 BENET LEADERS • O’Mara: 27 points, five rebounds • Collin Pellettieri: 22 points, four rebounds • Nelligan: Eight points, eight assists

supersectional, where they played Glenbard North for the right to head to Peoria for the state finals this weekend. While the win over Geneva was nice, it was just another step toward a bigger goal.

“We’re all excited, but we’re not done yet,” Benet’s Josh Yesufu said. “We’ve got to keep moving forward.”

Benet outscored Geneva (256) 18-6 in the third quarter and

16-12 in the fourth quarter.

A similar third-quarter push was the key against the Red Devils in the sectional semifinal March 11.

The game was knotted at 2727 at intermission, but the Redwings started the second half on an 11-3 run and outscored Central 15-6 in the third quarter. Guard Collin Pellettieri nailed three 3-pointers early in the third quarter to open up the outside game. That after post player Sean O’Mara scored 16 points in the first half.

“Third quarter we switched a couple matchups and we were able to stop them defensively, and they were collapsing on Sean so our perimeter shots were wide open, and we were able to knock them down in the second half,” Pellettieri said.

The senior guard knocked down all four of Benet’s 3-pointers in the second half and had six of the team’s seven trifectas in the game.

“Once I was able to hit the first few, I really had a lot of confidence getting my shot off and they were all falling,” Pellettieri said.

St. Mary of Gostyn girls play on big stage

Where did you improve most this season?

I think my ball handling improved. From this time last year to this year, I think I was able to see the game better and pass the ball better.

Members of the St. Mary of Gostyn eighth grade A girls basketball team Katie Cantlyn (from left), Maddie Greenaberg, Carissa Mysliwiec, Madison Kuratko, Katie Kramnic, Kelly McSweeney and Alice Beida (not pictured) took the court at DePaul’s McGrath-Phillips Arena on March 8 to play during halftime of an opening-round game of the Big East Conference women’s basketball tournament.

it’s time to take a look at the 201314 boys basketball all-area team.

Barret Benson

Devin Blake

Gage Davis

Chase Hamilton

John Kelly

School: Hinsdale South Year: Sophomore Impact: A tough post player who is drawing college interest, Benson nearly averaged a double-double with a team-high 12.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. Was West Suburban Gold all-conference and all-tournament at both Hinsdale Central and DeKalb.

School: Downers Grove North Year: Sophomore Impact: In his first season playing varsity ball, this sophomore did a little bit of everything for the Trojans and topped the team with 12.7 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He earned West Suburban Silver all-conference honors.

School: Bolingbrook Year: Senior Impact: With his solid range and all-around playmaking ability, Davis was second on the team with 13 points per game and third with two assists per game. The IPFW recruit was SouthWest Suburban Blue all-conference and all-tournament at McDipper.

School: Hinsdale Central Year: Senior Impact: Perhaps better known as the football team’s quarterback and as a future college tennis player, Hamilton made a big impact on the basketball court with his 12.7 points per game (second on the team) and was named West Suburban Silver all-conference.

School: Westmont Year: Senior Impact: The Sentinels’ leading scorer (11.6 points per game) and rebounder (5.8 per game) shot over 50 percent from inside the arc and was Interstate Eight second team all-conference, was named to the I-8 all-tournament team and was voted team MVP this season.

Jeremy Glavanovits School: Lisle Year: Senior Impact: A physical presence in the paint, this forward was second on the team at 10.5 points per game and led the Lions with 8.1 rebounds per contest. Also shot 63 percent from the free throw line while taking a team-leading 138 foul shots.

Honorable Mention

Prentiss Nixon

Sean O’Mara

Matt Rafferty

Danny Spinuzza

Mike Wisz

School: Bolingbrook Year: Junior Impact: Watching Nixon in action, it’s easy to see why he is a prized college prospect. Offense comes effortlessly, and he paced the Raiders with 15.3 points and 3.1 assists per game. He was named SouthWest Suburban Blue all-conferenc and all-tournament at the McDipper.

School: Benet Year: Senior Impact: The chants of ‘Overrated’ emanating from opposing student sections don’t faze him, and don’t seem to apply anyway. The Xavier recruit, East Suburban Catholic all-conference and Proviso West all-tournament selection is Benet’s all-time leading scorer and was averaging 23 points and 13 rebounds at the start of the playoffs.

School: Hinsdale Central Year: Junior Impact: This 6-foot-7 forward has a well-rounded post game, can hit from long range (16 3-pointers made) and sinks his free throws (75 percent). The West Suburban Silver all-conference player led Central with 18.1 points and 11.5 rebounds per game.

School: Downers Grove South Year: Senior Impact: Spinuzza did it all for the Mustangs. The team’s primary ball handler shot dished out 3.6 assists per game, shot 69 percent from the foul line and averaged 14.1 points per game. He was named West Suburban Gold all-conference.

School: Lemont Year: Senior Impact: In his third year on the varsity this winter, Wisz took over as the Indians go-to player and led the Indians in scoring.

A long-range shooter who also has the ability to get to the basket and finish or draw contact, this senior went over the 1,000-point plateau for his career this season.

Benet: Colin Bonnett, Liam Nelligan, Collin Pellettieri Bolingbrook: Shakur Triplett, Kenny Williams Downers Grove North: Myles Farley, Ray Greco Downers Grove South: Wes Dahle, Paul Engo, Kovas Rugienius Hinsdale Central: Jordan Bradshaw, Thomas Ives, Grant Lillard Hinsdale South: Larry Motuzis, Marcel Phillips Lemont: Luis Marquez Lisle: Shane Murray Westmont: Montraveous Little, Danny LoGiurato

Chicago Football sports media franchise launches SHAW MEDIA AND DAILY HERALD MEDIA GROUP Shaw Media and Daily Herald Media Group recently announced the launch of Chicago Football, a print and digital sports media franchise covering high school, college and professional football. Veteran football analyst and Chicago-area sports personality Hub Arkush will spearhead the initiative.

The first edition of Chicago Football magazine hits newsstands in early April and will focus on the Chicago Bears’

preparation for the 2014 NFL Draft. The first edition will include exclusive interviews with head coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery. It also will break down the professional prospects of Chicago-area players, including Chris Watt (Glen Ellyn) and others.

In print, Chicago Football will be a glossy magazine published weekly during the football season and monthly in the offseason. The publishers also plan to produce several annual football guides to be distributed nationally.

The website HubArkush. com is now ChicagoFootball. com. The new site will provide in-depth news and analysis of the Bears, along with extensive information about the NFC North division and coverage of all 32 NFL teams.

The site also will provide analysis of local high school and college programs as the 2014 season approaches.

In addition to Arkush, Chicago Football contributors include Shaw Media’s Kevin Fishbain and Tom Musick, and the Daily Herald’s premier Bears expert Bob LeGere

and fantasy football analyst John Dietz. Veteran designer and editor Bob Peters – who previously worked with Arkush at Pro Football Weekly – also joined the Chicago Football team. Arkush indicated that he is in the process of hiring additional staff.

Chicago Football will be headquartered at the Daily Herald offices in Arlington Heights.

Arkush noted the time is right for this venture.

“The NFL’s popularity is at an all-time high, and many fans have an affiliation

with at least one college and high school program while many follow more than one,” Arkush said. “Chicago Football will be unique in its look at the sport from a geographical perspective, and our singular focus will allow us to go more in-depth than other media.”

Chicago Football’s NFL Draft Preview edition will be available on newsstands April 7. The magazine can be purchased at area newsstands or included as part of an annual subscription, available at ChicagoFootball.com.

DRAWING WITH MARK!

I spy ... a wind turbine!

Road trippin’ by anne Raih | More Content Now

Pull off your headphones and take your eyes off the screen.

Next time you’re on a trip, play an old-fashioned game instead!?

Whether you’re traveling by truck, by car, by train or by plane, try these games to keep you entertained.

The license plate game where? In the car why? Playing this game is a good way to make sure to keep your

eyes peeled on the road, and keep your geography skills strong.

How? Grab a pen and paper, and keep a list of license plates you

I spy ... a black car!

see from other states. The goal? To get all 50 states. If you can’t get all 50, try to get the most of anyone else playing. For extra credit, name the capital of each state you see.

I spy where? On the train or in the car why? This is a classic game – chances are your parents played

this one when they were young, too. It’s fun!

How? One person is the questioner, and everyone else is the

guesser. If you are the questioner, pick an object. Think of an adjective (most often a color) that describes it. Say, “I spy with my little eye something ... red!” and let others start guessing. The person who guesses correctly wins.

Award-winning “drawing with mark” DVD episodes are on sale at Michael’s! Drawing lessons, fun facts and animation. Visit us at www.drawingwithmark.com.

The grammar game where? Anywhere why? This classic travel game is hilarious and helps you learn

parts of speech.

How to win the life fiTNess

TiP of THe Week

Beat the winter blues shoveling snow, scraping windshields and running from the car to the office burns calories, but enough is enough. We can’t take it anymore, winter! fortunately, there are effective strategies to help combat the winter blues: On below-zero days, a couch, blanket and cranked thermostat are much more enticing than venturing outside to hit the gym. But here’s the deal: exercise can help banish your winter blues and shouldn’t be skipped.

Whether you grab a basketball, a dumbbell or a yoga mat, a good sweat session releases feel-good brain chemicals that reduce depression and improve your mood. Plus, your metabolism and energy level will both stay elevated for a few hours after your workout.

Soak in the sun: Winter days are cold, long and dark. This ultimately means a lack of a very important ingredient to wintertime happiness: sunlight. Time spent in the sun helps your body process Vitamin D and releases neurotransmitters that can boost your mood!

Add a few extra outdoor activities to your week like a walk around the neighborhood or cross-country skiing.

As for your home, keep your shades up during the day or use full spectrum light bulbs to replicate natural light indoors. everyone is happier when they are looking forward to an exciting event on the horizon.

Plan a guys or girls night out, an evening at a comedy club or a weekend getaway. if you want to indulge solo, try a massage.

battle of the bulge M

by David Gannon More Content Now

any Americans suffer with problems of obesity. It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of Americans are now overweight and many have given up the struggle to return to a healthy weight.

As your weight increases, the chances of losing it seem to slip away. If you lose only a pound here and a pound there, any chance for significant weight loss seems to be out of reach.

You get discouraged and stop trying.

The risks of obesity and being overweight are many. It is the No. 1 public health problem in America, leading to multiple diseases. Weight-related diseases include hypertension, Type II diabetes, fatty organs, acid reflux, heart disease, shortness of breath, joint pain, lowered immune response, stroke, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and premature death.

The costs of medical care for these diseases has skyrocketed to $147 billion for Medicare and Social Security Disability claims in one year. People who are obese spend 42 percent more on medical care, 72 percent more on medications and 48 percent more time in the hospital. That adds up to as much as $10,000 more per year in healthcare costs.

The factors that can influence excessive weight gain are different for each person. The trajectory toward obesity can begin as early as 5 or 6 years old when hereditary factors and family lifestyle can contribute to the problem. You can inherit certain genetic predispositions for weight gain. However, in most cases heredity can be overcome with a healthy lifestyle.

If the family meals include many calorie-dense foods, you not only gain excessive weight but you are likely to develop unhealthy eating habits as an adult. Family schedules may be arranged around the foods that are fast and easy but also more likely to be unhealthy. If the family eats a lot in restaurants many of the foods tend to be in larger portions and may have too much of the “big three” — fats, sugar and salt — in them.

Subsequently the entire family can easily become “biggiesized.”

What about your body? It seems to betray you, too. Your taste buds seem to prefer donuts over broccoli. The taste of processed foods also may be engineered to maximize your

be patient and set realistic goals for weight loss. Weight gain did not happen overnight. practice healthy behaviors and weight loss will follow. consumption.

It doesn’t help that your body is biologically predisposed to store foods for energy. But in modern life you do not need all of that stored food energy that will be enable you to run 10 miles, chase down an antelope, kill it with your spear and drag it back home. Instead you are more likely to eat a bag of potato chips while you sit on the couch, turn on the TV and watch someone else catch that antelope.

Women’s bodies tend to gain more weight with pregnancy but many women gain excessive weight during pregnancy and do not lose it. Hormones

sometimes play a part in increasing susceptibility to weight gain or slower body metabolism. Some medications also contribute to weight gain.

Don’t forget that an important part of the weight-loss equation is calorie expenditure.

Most Americans spend too much time in sedentary activities. Sitting at work, in a car and finally at home does nothing to burn up calories. Opportunities for walking, running and even moving may be very limited in your daily routine.

While it may seem hopeless with all of these obstacles, it is possible to lose weight. It involves a new psychology of self

and food utilization. Successful weight reduction requires increased knowledge and awareness of all of the potential threats to your health and a belief in your power to control your life called self-efficacy. All of the factors that can influence weight gain can be managed if you first become more aware of the subtle and not-so-subtle triggers for relapse. This includes our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and the environment.

It requires conscious living or achieving a level of mindfulness about yourself that most of us are not accustomed to practicing.

Consider the vision you have of yourself. If you imagine yourself as a healthy person you are more likely to act in ways that are congruent with the way a healthy person acts. You will consciously seek health-enhancing activities and be more aware of the choices you make.

Use behavior-modification principles to set up your life for managed eating, such as eating slowly, making a food journal and developing alternative ways to manage feelings.

Be patient and set realistic goals for weight loss. Weight gain did not happen overnight.

Practice healthy behaviors and weight loss will follow.

Be aware of the foods you have around you. Certain foods may look good, taste good and smell good but they create havoc with your organ systems.

Remove them from your home and surroundings. Become knowledgeable about foods and read labels. Buy more fruits and vegetables.

Eat more rationally and less emotionally. Change your view of food. Food must be viewed as a means for sustenance instead of a way to make yourself temporarily feel good, manage stress, conquer boredom or reduce bad feelings.

And don’t forget to move every day. Hop, skip, walk, run, jump or dance. Just get your body to experience enough motion to use up some of that stored food energy.

Being a healthy person of normal weight is not convenient. It requires an investment of time, thought and planning.

It requires a change in some of the beliefs you have held about yourself for a long time. The dividends can be a new and happier way of living your life and loving yourself.
