2 students face charges, 55 students disciplined after prank at RBHS By MATTHEW HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@shawmedia.com

normally make bad decisions to act badly as a group. Bylsma said that many students agreed the prank had gone too far and were angry at those students who crossed the line. “It was hard knowing my own classmates disrespected our school the way they did,” Isis Galindo, the Student Association Executive Board president, said in a statement. This school has done so much for the students; the faculty here really make the possibilities infinite. It was tough knowing some students don’t appreciate that, and rather disrespected the faculty the way they did. Although it was sad not being able to spend our last homecoming together, I believe homecoming was successful.” Many students were concerned that Homecoming festivities would be canceled entirely, but Bylsma said the school never considered that. “It really took the wind out

of their sails,” Bylsma said. “There was no reason to punish students who had nothing to do with it.” In addition to the two students facing formal charges, another 55 students faced disciplinary action at the school, according to Bylsma. The school suspended 14 of those 55, and others lost the opportunity to participate in school activities and Homecoming events. According to Weitzel, the police department has had very few incidents arise from the yearly senior prank. He said most parents know their children are participating and those who participate are often the same students who are involved in school activities like cheerleading, sports and extracurriculars. “It’s good kids,” Weitzel said. But Bylsma said that even throwing toilet paper and shaving cream are outside of the school’s values. Byls-

ma said wasting toilet paper and shaving cream was not ecologically sound and went against the school’s mission to be green. It also created a hardship for the custodial staff, who have to pick up the mess after the event, she said. But, Bylsma said, most students see the prank as a way to celebrate their pride in their school, not to disrespect it. For that reason, school administration and students should come together to find a new way to celebrate the school next year, she suggested. Bylsma said the board will begin the review of their student handbook, which sets rules for student conduct, in the spring. Bylsma said the senior prank will likely be banned next year through that process. “We have phenomenal kids here,” Bylsma said. “Unfortunately, some just crossed the line.”

RIVERSIDE – The Riverside Police Department announced Oct. 9 they have filed felony charges against two teens allegedly responsible for vandalism at Riverside Brookfield High School during a traditional Homecoming event known at

the “senior prank.” Frad C. Johnson, 18, of North Riverside and a 17-yearold juvenile, also of North Riverside, were charged with felony criminal damage to state supported property. Both teens are current students at RB. Police said the 17-yearold student was charged as an adult and was living in Brookfield until recently. Police said they have concluded their investigation into the incident, which occurred

RIVERSIDE – An more than 20-year tradition at Riverside Brookfield High School has likely to come to an end. The so-called senior prank, where students come to the school before Homecoming Weekend and decorate the school in toilet paper and shaving cream, will probably be banned next year, according to Principal Pam Bylsma. The banning of the tradition probably wasn’t far off, Bylsma said, but when the prank got out of control this year – two students were charged with felonies and many more faced discipline at the school – it was the last straw. “We’ve never formally endorsed it,” Bylsma said. “[School officials] have also been a little uncomfortable with it.” In the early morning hours of Oct. 2, police were called

to the school for noise complaints. According to Riverside Police Chief Tom Weitzel, officers found about 100 students throwing toilet paper and spraying shaving cream, which in the past has been accepted by the school and community. However, police later found doors to the school painted with spray paint, door locks destroyed with glue, furniture spread around the lawns and pornographic photos printed from the Internet with the names of members of the school’s staff written on them. Two students were charged with criminal damage to state supported property, the police department announced last week. Bylsma was quick to say that only a small percentage of the students who took part in the activities took the prank too far. Going forward, the school wants to take away the opportunity for escalation, or for students who wouldn’t

er machines and a redemption terminal, police reported. The owners called police after finding a window next to the main entrance smashed, which police believe allowed the burglars access to the restaurant. Officers who arrived on the scene found that the ATM and cash registers had been pried

open. Touch screen gaming systems were found on the floor and pried open. The burglars also targeted a redemption terminal, which dispenses winnings from video poker machines, and the restaurant’s offices. Office doors were found kicked in and ransacked. Brookfield police said the

burglars likely used heavy duty construction equipment, include a saw that was used to cut into the redemption terminal. Lt. Ed Petrak said the department has not seen an increase in burglaries targeting video gaming machines since the village approved and businesses began to install them last year.

If kids are in the mood for some spooky stories, they are invited to Spooky Story Time, held Oct. 26 at 10:30 a.m. The chosen stories are more “merry” than “scary,” according to staff at the library. Kids can stop by in their Halloween costumes as they trick or treat for Monsters on Main Street. The whole family is invit-

SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA BROOKFIELD – Two suspected armed robbery attempts occurred last week within several blocks of each other, according to reports from Brookfield police. At 8:30 p.m. Oct. 7, two men walking home from a gas station were confronted by two male subjects near Monroe and Prairie avenues. The subjects demanded that the men hand over their wallets and anything else of value. One of the victims said he only had an old flip phone and a school ID. One of the offenders then displayed a knife at his waistband and said he had a gun on him. The offenders were interrupted when a res-

ident exited his house with a dog, prompting the two subjects to flee eastbound on Monroe Avenue. A second incident took place at 11:11 p.m. at Grant and Forest avenues, when a man walking his dog was stopped by two men. One of the subjects knelt next to the dog while the other demanded the man’s wallet and said he had a gun on him. The man told them he is a TAC (Training, Advising, Counseling) officer and that he had his own gun, at which point both subjects fled northbound on Forest Avenue. Police believe both incidents were related and are warning resident to be watchful.

RB student charged with felonies for attacking student and security SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA RIVERSIDE – Riverside police announced felony charges against a Riverside Brookfield High School student from Riverside Oct. 2. Police reported that on Oct. 1, a juvenile student was detained by school staff after threatening another student. Police learned the 16-yearold offender was angry with another student and came to school to retaliate. The offender went to the school and began banging on a locked classroom door that the victim was inside. When the teacher went to answer the door, the offender pushed the teacher and entered the classroom. At the same time, the victim’s girlfriend, who was also in the class, tried to defend her

boyfriend and was hit by the offender. The teacher set off an internal alarm and security staff responded. When they arrived, an officer was elbowed in the face by the offender before he was restrained. Police said the 16-year-old offender was interviewed with a parent at the police station, but at the time the information was released, a cause for the incident was undetermined. Police said that due to the seriousness of the crime, and because it occurred on school grounds, the student was charged with two counts of aggravated battery – one count for striking a female student and another for striking the security officer. The offender was also charged with simple battery, assault and reckless conduct.

NORTH RIVERSIDE – On his 13th birthday, Cale Manning got maybe the most important call of his young life. Cale had auditioned for several productions at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre over the past few years, but was not cast. He then landed a spot in “Oliver” at Drury Lane in Oakbrook – his first paying gig. Shortly after, staff from Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago were looking for boys to cast for “Lord of the Flies,” and they called some of the cast from “Oliver,” including Cale. He auditioned. Then he got a dream birthday present. “I was running around the house cheering because I was so excited,” said Cale, who, after the initial callback, was cast as Percival in Steppenwolf’s “Lord of the Flies,” which starts today and runs through Nov. 15. Cale’s character is the youngest among a group of boys who find themselves stranded on an island after a

plane crash. Percival, small and innocent, struggles to adapt. “He’s the youngest out of all the boys on the island and he kind of is a little crazy,” Cale said. “There’s a lot of crying. He’s a good guy, but after he sees the death of Piggy and other people being tortured, he kind of goes to the so called dark side.” Cale, 13, looks the part of an innocent little boy, helped by the mop of hair on his head. “He has this red, curly hair, and you can’t miss him,” said Joe Savino, Manning’s teacher for five years at the Theatre of Western Springs. “He’s adorable.” Despite his charm, Cale has had to endure plenty of rejection before landing his first role in the city. But he’s handled the ups and downs well. “He processes the rejection. He feels it. He identifies it. He recognizes it. And then he moves on,” Savino said. “He’s really become somewhat of a professional.” And he has the hours to prove it. For “Lord of the Flies,” Cale has spent hours shut-

Brookfield works on budget, road repairs to be delayed By DOUG GRAHAM msleditorial@shawmedia.com BROOKFIELD – How the village of Brookfield will spend its money on infrastructure projects and other capital expenses over the next five years was discussed at the Brookfield Board of Trustees meeting on Monday night. Assistant Village manager Keith Sbiral said the tentative plan, which includes the 2014 budget that will be voted on by the board before the end of the year, freezes village hiring and keeps spending virtually flat, increasing it by 3 percent each year. Village President Kit Ketchmark asked Sbiral if he and the heads of the village departments believed they could continue to operate comfortably considering all of the budget items they wanted, but would likely not be getting in next year’s plan. “I don’t know if they are all shaking their heads ‘no’ behind me so I’ll just go out on a limb without turning around,” Sbiral said. “This is without a

doubt the tightest budget that we’ve ever put together. “It’s tight. Can we afford it? Yes,” Sbiral added. Sbiral said under the plan $300,000 is going into a restrictive reserve fund Sbiral described as a “lockbox” that the village would be able to use for an event such as another economic meltdown or natural disaster. Among the cost saving measures in the five year plan are slowing down the planned replacements of departmental vehicles. Sbiral said the plan includes holding off on the purchase of a new water pumping truck for the fire department until after 2018. Sbiral said the village will only be able to partially fund the repairs and replacements of cracked village roads. He said the plan allows for just over $1 million per year for repairs, well short of the $3 million annual cost assessors said was needed to address the problem. The 2014 budget will be discussed further and voted upon by the trustees before the end of the year.

A thumbs up to the Brookfield Chamber of Commerce on a fun-filled Saturday of festivals Oct. 5. Kiwanis Park was host to two festivals in one day, sponsored by the chamber. First was the Brookfield Fine Arts Festival, which was followed by Family Fall Fest. Both events provided residents with loads of great activities and an opportunity to come together as a community. A thumbs up to Blanca Becerra, a longtime volunteer at the Chicago Marathon. Although not a runner, Blanca was inspired by those that do run to lend a helping hand. Each year, Blanca arrives at the marathon at 4 a.m. and works a nearly 12-hour day helping to register runners, coordinate breakfast and other services.

Waterleaf a fine dining treat GLEN ELLYN – Don’t let the community college campus setting fool you. On a recent Saturday night, we stepped into Waterleaf and discovered a visual treat before even seeing the menu. Part of the school’s culinary center, the stunning space is used by students Mondays and Tuesdays, but morphs into a professional operation Wednesday through Sunday. Upon venturing inside, we received a warm greeting from the manager, who offered us a table along the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water.

My sorbet arrived with three homemade scoops: fresh pear, blackberry and apple, accompanied by ripe berries and a melt-in-your mouth cookie with slivered almonds. We enjoyed the sweet finish to our meal, and look forward to a return to Waterleaf for a special night out. It’s worth noting the restaurant is near the school’s McAninch Arts Center, where touring acts and local talents show off their chops. When its $35 million renovation is completed, dinner and a show sound like a tempting combination.

All-around effort leads to RB’s first win By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com ELMWOOD PARK – After six weeks of frustration, Riverside Brookfield finally broke through with a win. The Bulldogs picked up their first football win of the season with an emphatic 42-7 victory at Elmwood Park on Friday. Lewis Rogers headlined a number of standout performances from RB with a kickoff return for a touchdown and three interceptions. Rogers, a senior captain, has been a playmaker for the Bulldogs all season. “I can’t really say I’m sur-

Riverside Brookfield 42 Elmwood Park 7 RB leaders: • Justin Agne: 2 rushing TDs • Zach Witken: 50-yard TD run • Lewis Rogers: 85-yard kickoff return TD, 3 INT • Kyle Tracy: 4 rec., TD prised,” said RB coach Brendan Curtin. “He’s been a guy we can lean on the entire season. He’ll have a dropped ball here and there, but the thing with Lewis is he’s always going 100 miles per hour so he

doesn’t let those things hold him back. He doesn’t have any fear when he takes the field.” Justin Agne, Zach Witken and Kyle Tracy also found the end zone in the win. Linebackers Richard Theus and Jordan Petronella had big games on the defensive side of the ball and led the Bulldogs in tackles. With no chance of making the playoffs the Bulldogs are playing for pride the rest of the season, but Curtin said the team had no problem focusing heading into the Elmwood Park game. “I think the demeanor and the way the kids prepared for this game, you could see they

were more locked than in weeks past,” Curtin said. “It’s good that we’re making strides in that regard.” Curtin called the win a clean game with few sloppy mistakes. Sophomore quarterback Ryan Swift limited his mistakes as well. He was 14for-18 through the air with one interception. Swift’s development is one of the key things to watch the rest of the season since he will likely be the starting quarterback for the next two years. “He’s doing a great job and I think he’s a force when he decides to run with the ball,” Curtin said. “We tried to work on

developing his reads and getting the ball out of his hand.” Next up for RB is a home game against Nazareth. The Roadrunners are 5-2 and have earned respect in the area by beating undefeated teams, Notre Dame and Benet, in the past two weeks. Curtin left his assistant coach role at Naz to take over the head job at RB. “Obviously I have a lot of respect for that football program, the coaches and players,” Curtin said. “Nazareth will always be near and dear to my heart, but right now I’m a Bulldog. It’s an opportunity to take on a highly ranked opponent.”

cording to Racki. “They’ve been excited about the challenge, especially the last couple weeks with high-powered offenses coming in,” Racki said.

Benet came in averaging 34.5 points per game and the Roadrunners held them to season-low 18. Similarly, Notre Dame came to La Grange Park averaging 35 points per game. Racki described the team as a selfless group with a special something that he couldn’t put his finger on. No matter how they’re doing it, the Roadrunners are one win away from clinching a playoff birth and face 1-6 Riverside Brookfield on Friday. “Our goal is to get to the playoffs and we’re not there yet,” Racki said.

Friars hang tough against Providence SUBURBAN LIFE MEDIA Fenwick’s football homecoming was ruined by the team’s first loss of the season. Providence took the lead in the fourth quarter to pick up the 21-13 win in a Chicago Catholic League crossover game Saturday at Concordia University. Running back Robert Spillane gave the Friars (6-1) a 13-7 lead with a fourth quarter touchdown run, but

Providence answered on the ensuing drive and finished the game off with a interception return for a touchdown. Providence (4-3) led 7-0 at halftime and the remaining points in the game were all scored in the fourth quarter. Fenwick will look to rebound against De La Salle Saturday night in a matchup of teams that are 2-0 in the Chicago Catholic League White.

were officially eliminated from playoff contention with a heavy defeat at the hands of the 6-1 Hilltoppers. West led 19-0 at halftime and cruised in the second half on a muddy Duchon Field Saturday afternoon. The Hilltoppers ran for over 250 yards of offense. It was the third time in four West Suburban Silver games that the Panthers were held to six or fewer points.

Brandon Johnson taking the opening kickoff back for an 80-yard touchdown, the Chargers fell to the Caxys Saturday at Elmhurst College. Johnson accounted for all of the Chargers’ points by also scoring on a 65-yard run. St. Joseph is now 1-6 with two conference games in the CCL Red remaining.

When: 7:15 p.m. Friday Where: 160 Ridgewood Rd., Riverside Records: Riverside Brookfield 1-6, Nazareth 5-2 Outlook: Fresh off its first win of the season RB will have a tough task in this non-conference showdown against a red-hot Nazareth team hoping to clinch a playoff spot. The Roadrunners have picked up wins over undefeated teams (Notre Dame and Benet) in each of the past two weeks. Naz has won this game by an average of 39 points the past two years.

“Sustaining that type of intensity in this conference for three weeks straight is an accomplishment,” Racki said. The defensive group doesn’t have a lot of size, but possesses plenty of speed. Racki says the defense’s attitude has improved. “The one thing that was lacking in the beginning of the year was the attitude,” Racki said. “I don’t have that Ray Lewis-type leader on defense. It’s actually a quiet group.” The Roadrunner D has shown more fire and is having more fun on the field, ac-

By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com LA GRANGE PARK – Not many teams in the state have picked up better wins in the past two weeks than Nazareth. For the second week in a row the Roadrunners beat an undefeated team. First, Naz beat Notre Dame 10-7 Oct. 5. On Saturday, it was Benet that fell victim to the revitalized Roadrunners, 2818. It’s a sharp turn around for a team that lost to Joliet Catholic 42-0 at home in Week 4. The next game, the Roadrunners won at Carmel for the first time in school history. They have simply kept rolling since. “Our confidence has been building as the season has gone on,” said Nazareth coach Tim Racki. “The defining moment for me was the week after JCA. How they responded the week after that butt-whipping told me that this was a special kind of group. They worked hard and weren’t feeling sorry for themselves.” For the third week in a row it was a stout defensive performance and a strong running game that led Naz to victory. After giving up 42 points in back-to-back defeats to Marist and Joliet Catholic, the Roadrunners have held their last three opponents under 20 points. Any three game winning streak in the East Suburban Catholic Conference is impressive, but it also came against quality opposition.

Bulldogs on upswing as playoffs loom nent. If the Friars get past that game, No. 1 seed Hinsdale Central likely awaits.

Lyons Township looks to make deep postseason run By DAN SANTAROMITA dsantaromita@shawmedia.com The soccer postseason begins on Friday for both Class 2A and 3A with regional quarterfinals. Riverside Brookfield and other area teams begin play next week in regional semifinals with the hopes of starting a long postseason run to Lincoln-Way North, home to the state finals for both classes.

Riverside Brookfield Regional: St. Laurence Sectional: Riverside Brookfield

First game: 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 at No. 8 St. Laurence Outlook: The season didn’t start so well for the Bulldogs, but they have rebounded to play better soccer in the second half of the season. RB went winless through its first eight matches with an 0-5-3 record; it entered Monday’s action having won six of the previous nine. The Bulldogs went 4-2 to take third in the Metro Suburban Conference. Despite the mixed results, coach Danny Makaric remained confident in his group’s playoff chances in Class 2A. The Bulldogs played a tough non-conference schedule early. RB was handed the No. 9 seed in the sectional, but Makaric said the Bulldogs were given a harsh seed against Chicago schools unfamiliar with many of RB’s opponents. The Bulldogs lost just six players from a team that made the sectional final last year. If they get past St. Laurence in the opener they will likely see top seed St. Joseph, which the Bulldogs beat 3-0 in a sectional semifinal a year ago. “Who wins the regional final is probably going to win the sectional final,” Makaric said.

Lyons Township Regional: Lyons Township Sectional: Hinsdale South First game: 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 vs. No. 13 Argo Outlook: The Lions failed to win the West Suburban Silver, coming up short against Hinsdale Central, and were unable to defend their Pepsi Showdown title, losing 3-2 to eventual champion Lane Tech. However, those are the only losses for LT this season. Despite an impressive record with only losses to elite teams, the Lions still only earned the No. 4 seed in the Hinsdale South sectional. The sectional is loaded with the top-seeded and undefeated Red Devils, a twoloss Morton team that shares the same losses as LT, and Best of the West Tournament winner Benet. The Lions have an experienced team that has enjoyed a lot of success, but after getting upset in the regional final last year they will be looking to make a deep run this time around. Central midfielder Harry Hilling has been pulling the strings to set up talented forwards Christian Sanchez, Frankie Kocimski and Matt Murphy while Joe Lupano, Emilio Godinez, Peter Kass and Spiro Kass have contributed to a defense that had eight shutouts entering Tuesday’s Proviso West match.

Morton Regional: Morton Sectional: Hinsdale South First game: 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 vs. No. 14 Juarez or No. 18 Hubbard Outlook: The Mustangs have just two losses this year and both came in tournament

Riverside Brookfield’s Mikah Patil dribbles around a Glenbard South defender during the Bulldogs’ road game last Thursday. finals – to Hinsdale Central in the final of the Red Devil Cup and to Lane Tech in the final of the Pepsi Showdown. Both losses came by just one goal so Morton has proven it can play with anyone in the state. The key to the state tournament is doing it when it counts. Last year, Morton failed to win a regional despite being the top seed in the sectional. This year, the Mustangs have the No. 2 seed behind Hinsdale Central. The Mustangs’ dominant defense, spearheaded by goalkeeper Ian Chacon, entered the week with 13 shutouts and just seven goals allowed in 19 games. Despite those stats Morton has won nine one-goal games, six of those 1-0. The offense hasn’t found a go-to scorer, although Chabello Marquez has scored some important goals this season. No. 7 seed Kelly, which

lost to No. 4 seed Lyons Township 5-0 this season, is the likely regional final opponent. It gets tricky after that with No. 3 seed Benet possibly looming next.

Fenwick Regional: Hinsdale Central Sectional: Hinsdale South First game: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23 vs. No. 8 Whitney Young Outlook: Last year the Friars surprised just about everyone by winning a sectional despite entering as the No. 10 seed. This time around Fenwick has the No. 9 seed and still probably has long odds of repeating the feat. The Friars endured a seven-match winless streak to begin September, but had a 3-1-1 record over the last five games of the regular season to finish 6-7-4. Whitney Young, which beat Fenwick 3-2 in the Pepsi Showdown on Sept. 17, is the regional semifinal oppo-

First game: 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23 vs. No. 12 Lindblom Outlook: The Roadrunners have been middle of the road in the East Suburban Catholic Conference and their No. 6 seed in the sectional partially reflects that, but they play a tougher schedule than many of the schools in the 2A sectional. The ESCC provides quality opposition compared to the nine Chicago Public League schools in the 18team sectional. Nazareth began the season 9-2, but won one of the next seven matches to enter Tuesday’s game at St. Laurence with a 10-7-1 record. If the Roadrunners win the regional semifinal against Lindblom, they will likely see regional host and No. 3 seed Cristo Rey Jesuit in the final.

St. Joseph Regional: St. Laurence Sectional: Riverside Brookfield

First game: 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22 vs. No. 16 Gage Park or No. 17 UIC College Prep Outlook: The Chargers have earned the top seed in the sectional but are hoping for their first sectional title since 2009. Coach Stan Niemiec has guided the program to five straight regional titles, but even with the top seed it won’t be easy to make it six in a row. Riverside Brookfield, the team that knocked the Chargers out in a sectional semifinal a year ago, could meet them in the regional final. Junior Victor Moreno has been a key part of the team as a free kick specialist and playmaker in the attack. Danny Chavez, Fabian Robles and Israel Tovar have led the team as four-year varsity players.

Will Bears face 2012 or ’13 version of RG3? Hub Arkush

The Washington Redskins are 1-4 with one of the worst defenses in the NFL. And while they pile up yards on offense, they’re not particularly good at putting points on the board. Like the Bears, they struggle with time of possession. But unlike the Bears, they don’t have many players who scare you. Perhaps none are the complete package, but Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall and Martellus Bennett are all players the opposition has to scheme for because they know they can beat them. Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris were those guys last year as rookies, but they haven’t been to date this year. Offensively for the ’Skins, that’s it. Pierre Garcon is their leading

receiver, but he’s really just an average-to-good wideout. Santana Moss was one of those guys for a number of years, but these days he’s just another target. Leonard Hankerson, Jordan Reed, Josh Morgan, Logan Paulsen, Fred Davis ... OK, but most teams can handle them. That group collectively has piled up some yardage, it just hasn’t had the igniter to allow them to make a difference. If RG III and/or Morris suddenly become that guy/igniter again as they were last year, then the Bears could have some problems on their hands. Defensively Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Barry Cofield and DeAngelo Hall will, at times, remind you of Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman and the Julius Peppers we once knew. The last time these two clubs met, Hall picked off Cutler four times. But most of the time, they’ll remind you of the Bears’ defense we’ve come to know this year. In spite of a few great players, the Redskins’ defense gets pushed all over the field, leaving the team needing to get into a shootout and

have the ball last in order to win. Worse than 1-4, the only loss the Redskins were really competitive in was against the Lions. The Eagles, Packers and Cowboys games were not as close as the scores indicate. Washington’s one win actually was on the road, but beating Oakland anywhere is hardly something to build a season on. Sunday’s game will be the first time the ’Skins have played at home since Sept. 22 versus the Lions, and that was the one loss the Redskins were competitive in. In fact, they would have won the game were it not for a bushel full of mental errors not indicative of a Mike Shanahan-coached team. What the Bears have to worry about is if Griffin finds himself and brings Morris along for the ride. Griffin was a Pro Bowl quarterback last year with a 102.4 passer rating and 20 touchdown passes against only five interceptions. He also rushed 120 times for 815 yards, a 6.8 average and seven more touchdowns.

Today, his passer rating is 21 percent lower at 80.4, and he’s on pace to rush for only 480 yards. He’s thrown for only six touchdowns and has yet to score on the ground. Of course, a great deal of the fall off is due to his recovery from a torn ACL he suffered in the Redskins’ wild-card game last season. Perhaps Griffin’s woes have allowed defenses to take away Morris, who rushed for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns last year, but is on pace for only 1,200 yards this season and nine touchdowns. The Bears’ biggest concern should be the Redskins’ pass rush, which is seventh in the NFL with 16 sacks. While the Bears have been very good protecting Cutler, if the Redskins force them to struggle, it could disrupt the flow of the offense and lead to turnovers like the last time these two met. That said, this appears to be a good matchup for the Bears. If both clubs play to their 2013 form, the Bears should go to the bye at 5-2.

By J.C. TALON Fantasy Football writer

dreaded “Q” is the scourge of fantasy owners. I wish there were a simple rule for how to handle the “Q,” but there is not. Remember, a player listed as questionable supposedly has a 50 percent chance of playing. If true, then a historical analysis of questionable players should prove that half actually played and half did not. Has such an analysis been done? According to a Google search – part of my extensive research for this column – it has not. Although I did not conduct a historical analysis, I did

take a look at fantasy players listed as questionable on the Week-Six injury report. Questionable players who failed to take the field last week included Michael Vick, Rob Gronkowski, Stevie Johnson, Mike Williams and Zach Miller. The list of questionable players who did play was more extensive. It included Larry Fitzgerald, Marshawn Lynch, Calvin Johnson, Darren McFadden, Greg Jennings, Brandon Myers, Martellus Bennett, Jacoby Jones, CJ Spiller, and a lot more. Based on a very small sample, it would seem that “questionable” is closer to “probable” than it is to “doubtful.” Unfortunately, different NFL coaches approach the injury report with different perspectives. Some coaches try to provide an accurate and honest picture of their injury situations, and others … well, others are Bill Belichik and

Pete Carroll. Belichick and Carroll treat the injury report the way the fast-food clerk you insulted treats your food. I believe Tom Brady appeared on 1,400 consecutive injury reports without ever missing a game. Marshawn Lynch has appeared as questionable on the last few reports, but there’s never been any real consideration of holding him out. Conversely, Vick was listed as questionable in Week Six, but there was never any chance that he would play. So, you play a “P” and you sit a “D” but what should you do with a “Q?” Review the practice reports. If a player is practicing, he’ll likely play. Your last line of defense is to consult your favorite website or television show just before game time. Most sites and pre-game shows now include to a list of active and non-active players.

Selecting the right lineup for your fantasy team can be a frustrating endeavor. How many times have you cringied because the player you decided to bench had a career day? (If you sat Vernon Davis in Week Six, I feel your pain.) Trying to determine the best matchup is tough enough (Hmmm … Tony Romo at Philadelphia or Philip Rivers at Jacksonville?). But perhaps the biggest hurdle to setting the optimum lineup is deciphering the NFL injury report. The injury reports have been in existence since 1947, when Commissioner Bert Bell implemented them as a means to eliminate insider information. In 2004, the reports were augmented to include each player’s participation level in practice, with those reports

being filed Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The NFL has a rating system for injured players that specifies their probability of playing in a game: • Out - the player will not play; • Doubtful - 75 percent chance the player will not play; • Questionable – 50 percent chance the player will play; • Probable - 75 percent chance the player will play. Although my mother-inlaw does not listen to me (and why should she, her team is 5-1), I gave her a simple trick to help her understand the injury report: “D” (doubtful) means do not play, and “P” (probable) means play. It is extremely rare for a probable player to be held out. It is just as improbable that a doubtful player gets onto the field. “Questionable,” on the other hand, is a crapshoot. The

Revelry highlights fashion as a form of art with the cutting edge work of nine (9) alumnae of Dominican University’s Apparel Design program. The designers will present collections true to their respective artistic visions and highly unique from one another.

Revelry opens with the work of established designer Caroline Borucki (caro___) who has retail presence in New Buffalo, Michigan. It then segues to the work of emerging designers Alexandra Howard (Elmwood Park), Izzy Heras (Romeoville), Amanda Lindley (Tinley Park), Samantha Petkofski (Niles), Iris Carney (Berwyn), Molly Morettes (Park Ridge), Hannah Gerhardt (Omaha, NE) and Erin Von Kannon (Monmouth). Many of the designers will also exhibit portfolios and samples of their work at a Dominican University collective booth throughout Riverside Arts Weekend.

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.
