COMMUNITY CORNER: JENNIFER BOVA, WOODLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT 50 Jennifer Bova, public information specialist at Woodland School District 50, said the district’s main focus is making decisions that will have a positive impact on students. Before Bova came to Woodland, where she’s been for over nine years, she was a reporter for two years. She loved covering schools and decided to make her own impact in the world of education. Bova, of Palatine, shared details on Woodland’s changes and Photo provided achievements with Gurnee Subur- Jennifer Bova stands with Wiley ban Life reporter Jesse Carpender. the Wildcat, Woodland’s mascot.

How will the new change to Woodland’s four-year strategic plan impact students? Technology is an ever-growing constant in our life and it is here to stay. Including it as a formal goal in our strategic plan emphasizes the fact that it has a permanent place as part of education and we as a district intend to grow with technology and provide our students with the appropriate tools necessary to achieve success not only at Woodland but beyond. As the strategic plan is in its first year, it’s hard to determine any immediate changes at this time.

What does receiving a silver rating in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design mean to Woodland? This recognition allows us to set a powerful example for our community that a school built in 1948 can be named the first elementary school in the State of Illinois to receive LEED Silver Status

certification for Existing Buildings. [It] truly emphasizes the district’s support of providing a greener, more sustainable environment for our children.

How are teachers adjusting to Common Core State Standards?

Generally speaking, Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is the focus behind all changes we are working on this year as we implement learning expectations at each grade level. Our teachers agree that CCSS does have higher expectations, which is beneficial to all our students. Some modifications have been made within the areas of mathematics that include a delay with introducing fractions. While CCSS is a huge focus at Woodland, we are also concentrating on Next Generation Science Standards, which centers more on the application of what students have learned, rather than remembering individual skills. The emphasis is on how students use the information and apply it.

What are the important curriculum changes this year? We are looking forward to a wonderful school year as we move onto our second year of Dual Language now at our elementary schools, embrace continue implementation of the district’s Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports program and maintain focus on making decisions that will have an inherent and positive impact on students.

Do you have any of the following symptoms? • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so, you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy. Myth #3: Believing Numbness and Tingling will go away on it’s own.

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are The Only Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, antiseizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects. Why not look for a drugless solution instead of just covering over the pain?

Neuropathy Treatment System Relieves Numbness & Pain Fortunately, if you are suffering from any neuropathy pain, numbness or tingling, your symptoms may be relieved or eliminated by a new treatment. A new proven peripheral neuropathy treatment has been developed by a leading medical device inventor. The system helps the natural nerve pathways between your spine and feet (or hands) and can make your nerves functioning again. Just listen to what this new technology can do... Before each impulse is sent, it analyzes the waveform of your nerves, determines any abnormalities, creates the unique healing signal necessary, administers it, and then reevaluates the result. This process happens 7.83 times every second or the 30 minute treatment.

What Other Professionals are saying about this program. ”The ReBuilder has helped our patients who have painful side effects from chemotherapy neuropathy so much...” -Cancer Treatment Centers of America. ”Previously, treating peripheral neuropathy patients hasn’t been really successful...but I’ve never seen resolutions like we’re seeing in these cases.” John P. Hayes, Jr., DC, DABCO Author- “Beating Neuropathy”

Find Out If We Can Help Your Neuropathy. While we cannot accept every case that walks into our ofﬁce, if you’re suffering with neuropathy there is a good chance you can be helped by this treatment. To ﬁnd out if this treatment solution could be the answer to your neuropathy condition give us a call to see if we can help you. Take advantage of our New Patient Special with a $47. Call 847-901-3535 to schedule your neuropathy evaluation.

Will It Work For You? It’s time for you to ﬁnd out if this new treatment will be your neuropathy solution. Use our new patient special on page 4 so you can get a neuropathy evaluation to determine if you qualify for this new treatment!

Myth #2: Assuming Neuropathy is Only Found in Diabetic People

What does this offer include?

Diabetic patients are not the only group to suffer with this condition. Actually more neuropathy sufferers are non-diabetic than are, according to a recent 2009 study. Here’s what the study, done by The Neuropathy Association, revealed... “Neuropathy is often misrepresented as only being diabetes-related. However, this survey demonstrates that for every diabetic neuropathy patient, there are at least six more patients suffering with various neuropathies...” - Dr. Thomas H. Brannagan, III, medical advisor for The Neuropathy Association.

Everything. Take a look at what you will receive: An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where we will listen…really listen…to the details of your case. A complete neuropathy evaluation. Two specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms…(NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $100). A thorough analysis of all your ﬁndings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. Act now this offer is only good for the next 14 days so you

Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one of the most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20 million Americans. Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the arms and legs. This disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’t recognize neuropathy’s symptoms, which are: • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains These annoying problems may come and go...interrupt your sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak at times. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms for a while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this condition.

One of the biggest myths people believe about their numbness, tingling, and pain is that it goes away all by itself... without any treatment. But a study on back pain in the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain or disability 12 months later. Let’s face it, your neuropathy symptoms haven’t gone away by now, it’s not likely they will disappear on their own. And it’s been shown in studies that if ignored, symptoms can intensify causing loss of sensation, unremitting pain, and even disability.

Call 847-901-3535 now. We can get you scheduled for your Neuropathy Evaluation as soon as there’s an opening in our schedule.

Why Haven’t Neuropathy Sufferers Been Told These Facts?

Gurnee police video used across the country By JESSE CARPENDER jcarpender@shawmedia.com Walking in the entrance hall of Woodland Middle School with Wildcat pawprints on the walls behind him, professional actor Chris Agos tells teachers or police officers watching him on a screen, “This is a difficult subject matter to think about: school shootings. While the topic is unpleasant, these things do happen.” Because these things happen, this school lockdown training video starring Gurnee police and Woodland Middle School drama students is being used by 1,000 police departments across the country and in Canada, said Tom Agos, crime prevention specialist at Gurnee Police Department. Tom is Chris’s brother. The 13-minute video, titled “Attention Staff and Students,” is the local response to the Sandy Hook tragedy and the solution to a training gap that exists in schools nationwide. After the Sandy Hook tragedy, Woodland School District 50 called an emergency response team meeting in December 2012, Tom said. “During that meeting, we discussed training gaps for new hires, teachers and custodians hired after the August emergency training where they learned what to do should a lockdown situation take place. Typically new hires had no formal training until the next year. We saw that problem for a number of years,” Tom said. “It’s a serious topic – it’s a train-

The Gurnee Police Department created a school lockdown training video at Woodland Middle School. ing gap that exists in many places and the only efficient solution is the training video. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t fill orders across the country and in Canada,” Tom said. “The demand didn’t surprise me because it’s current and topical. Pre-Columbine [high school shooting], no one would have thought of this in a million years.” The video details lockdown procedures and advises educators on what to expect from law enforcement in

lockdown situations. After writing the script for a new training video designed to fill the gap, Tom enlisted the help of his brother, Chris, and Matt Till, instructor in the television department at Columbia College. Although the film’s budget was zero, Till offered personnel, lighting and other professional equipment. The film was conceptualized Dec. 17, filmed Feb. 15 at Woodland Middle School and released April 27, Tom said. It was a huge community effort, with seven Gurnee police officers, 40 Woodland Middle School drama students and four Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputies as actors. Hair and make-up services were donated by Octagon Hair Salon in Gurnee. Savanna House in Wadsworth catered a free dinner for the actors and crew. After filming, Till took the footage back to his class at Columbia College, where his students assembled the video, Tom said. Laurie Casey, assistant superintendent of education for Woodland School District 50, said, “What’s most exciting for me is that we have such a good partnership with Gurnee Police Department that we were able to create something school districts across the country needed.” Casey said the 40 Woodland drama students benefited from learning how much work goes into a production. Although the subject matter of school shootings is scary, Casey said, “I think when students see adults tak-

ing steps to be proactive about their safety, it makes them feel reassured that we’re doing the best to be prepared for them.” Ellen Crahan, assistant director for Woodland Middle School’s drama club, said it was a long shoot, starting at 3 p.m. and ending at 10 p.m. on Feb. 15. “The students learned how different filming is from doing a play because you aren’t acting the scenes out in order and you have to redo a scene so many times,” she said. “It was amazing to watch the interaction between our students and the Columbia College kids. The Columbia College students explained why they were studying filmmaking and each step of the process. They were hanging on every word.” Crahan acted in the video as a teacher ushering students into her classroom during a lockdown. “It was spooky to see police with guns drawn in our school,” she said. “Some of the kids were a bit shaken by that, and I told them, ‘Remember, this is just pretend.’ I thought as an adult it wouldn’t bother me at all, but it was so realistic that it rattled you to think of so many recent incidents. It gave me goosebumps. “It really says a lot about our community that so many people stepped up and gave their time to something so important, and didn’t expect to be paid. I was honored that they filmed it here, and it really shows that our police department was thinking ahead.”

Lake County leaders react to Dominick’s closing Jesse Carpender – jcarpender@shawmedia.com

By JESSE CARPENDER

LEFT: Safeway, Inc. intends to exit the Chicago market, where it operates 72 Dominick’s stores, by early 2014.

jcarpender@shawmedia.com Gurnee Mayor Kristina Kovarik said she was not surprised to hear that Dominick’s was leaving the Chicago market. “We’d been waiting a while for that to happen. It was a ghost town at the one in Gurnee,” she said Monday. Mundelein Mayor Steve Lentz and Fox Lake mayor Donny Schmit said they had no forewarning from Safeway, Inc. that it would be closing and attempting to sell Dominick’s in both towns. Safeway intends to exit the Chicago market, where it operates 72 Dominick’s stores, by early 2014.

In Lake County, Dominick’s stores are located at 6655 Grand Ave. in Gurnee, Route 176 and Midlothian Road in Mundelein and 1258 S. Route 12 in Fox Lake. Safeway also owns two

stores in Buffalo Grove and one each in Lake Zurich and Lake Bluff. Kovarik said although she doesn’t know if its replacement will be another grocery store, the spot won’t be vacant

for long. “It’s a highly visible, high traffic spot there on Grand Avenue,” she said. “It’s tough for grocery stores to survive because the market is so diluted, with places like Target and Walmart selling groceries.” In regards to sales tax from Dominick’s, it’s difficult to obtain an exact figure due to the way the state reports tax revenues, said Erik Jensen, public information officer. In calendar year 2012, the village of Gurnee received $640,712 in sales tax from the

sale of food, which is almost 4 percent of the total sales tax revenue, he said. “As many grocery items are untaxed, the grocery retail market is typically a small portion of most municipal sales tax revenue streams,” he said. Gurnee residents are already musing about what could replace the Dominick’s, a Mariano’s or Trader Joe’s, perhaps, said two of Gurnee Suburban Life’s Facebook readers. Evette Ashley recently was loading groceries into her car in Gurnee Dominick’s parking lot. The Lake Villa resident said she travels to the Gurnee store, which opened

PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW

Life

STEVE CARLSON DISTRICT 7 LAKE COUNTY BOARD

Tell us about yourself – outside of committee meetings. I like Grandwood Park because it’s very much like the community I grew up in. People know their neighbors. I’ve been riding motorcycles for 47 years – I’m on my seventh, a Kawasaki – and I still have my brains.

And in meetings? I’ve been on Lake County Board for 14 years and I might run again. I’m 64 [years old], when my term ends I’ll be 68, and if I run again I’ll finish at 72. What’s nice about this job is you have the freedom to blow off committee meetings, but I don’t. Check my attendance records.

Why do you think good

people need to get into politics? Nowadays people are upset with politicians in general. I’ve been glib all my life, it didn’t start when I got into government. Unless good people get into politics, we’re going to get what we deserve. Government is the art of compromise. Not everyone will agree with you, but that’s what elections are for. We fill 300 appointed positions in the county. When I see good people involved in their communities and ask them if they want to be appointed, they say no. Good people don’t want to be in politics because it’s an ugly word. That’s unfortunate and it hurts our society. People need to get involved in local government or they’ll get bossed around by those who are. I have more influence

ant issue for the Lake County Board today?

Water. The Lake Michigan water thing will be a hassle because it will be expensive. It will bring water to unincorporated Gurnee, and we need it because the water tables are drying up. The wells are dropping like crazy. It won’t be cheap, but if we don’t do it, it will cost a lot more in the future. We have nine wells in this area, and all nine came within a foot of failure during a drought a couple years ago. The climate’s getting weird, and we have the opportunity to do something about it. [Lake County communities including unincorporated Gurnee are part of a project to get Lake Michigan water by building a 22-mile pipe that will connect the villages to Central Lake County Joint Action Water Agency Gurnee already uses CLCJAWA water.]

another point of view. For example, the forest preserve is always interacting with the county. And affordable housing is linked to transportation services because people need to be able to get to work. They’re all interlinked to one degree or another. Many people have a niche or personal interest, but the challenge is looking at the bigger picture.

What do you think about the county possibly allowing backyard chickens? I’ve had some vegans call me to tell me the details of the horrible conditions factory chickens are raised in. That’s exactly why we should allow people to raise them in backyards. I have no problem with backyard chickens. Beagles raise all kind of hell, so why not chickens?

Is Lake County out of money for land acquisitions? No, but we’re getting close, down to 15-16 million. The era of big acquisitions is over now. There’s not much land left to buy. We’re only interested in quality natural resource lands, like wetlands.

Why are you proud that Lake County is smokefree? There was a teen group, Reality Warriors, that had the goal to make Lake County smoke-free. State legislature enabled counties to decide to be smoke-free and this group went around three or four years ago to village boards and to our board and stood in front of us to explain the issue. Those kids are a shining example of respectful political activism. They had the facts and could answer any questions. If everyone advocated that way, they’d get much further.

What’s a personal goal you have for Lake County Forest Preserves? A goal of the Lake County Forest Preserves is to preserve the culture of Lake County, and I take culture to mean history. I’d like to see signs with the history of the land in every preserve. I’ll be bringing that up to the board next month.

I fought against it. It takes money from the wrong people for the wrong reasons. Government shouldn’t be funded by people’s weakness. This will cost Lake County houses, families and lives. There are other ways to fund government – cut waste. We have a balanced budget. You have to be cognizant of what you’re spending and where it comes from. If the state and federal government adhered to that, they’d be balanced too.

Cadet Caleb James Magnuson, son of David and Caryn Magnuson of Gurnee, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy. Caleb graduated from Warren Township High School in 2009. While at West Point, he concentrated his studies in foreign language, specifically German. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army within the Armor branch and will report to Fort Lewis, Wash. for his first assignment.

Continued from page 4 in 1997, because she’s seen the same people working in the store for many years and knows them well. “The impact on employees’ jobs is a concern,” Ashley said. “Some people have been working for Dominick’s for 25 years.” Eric Nelson, Gurnee resident, said with kids at home, he has to shop for groceries three times a week. It’s conveniently close to his home, he said. “I do comparative shopping with Dominick’s and Jewel-Osco,” Nelson said. Schmitt said the Fox Lake store “is not a big producer” of sales tax in the town. The village of Mundelein earns $250,000 annually in sales tax from Dominick’s, said Lentz. “The [Dominick’s] we have in Mundelein is in a real good location,” said Lentz, adding the store was doing well. “So we assume they’ll find a buyer.” He expects if that store closes without a buyer, the sales tax will be made up from other grocery stores in the village. But, “we’re very optimistic,” that someone will buy the store. Lentz said his staff has left phone messages with Safeway to learn more about the decision to close the 72 stores. He said if they don’t find a buyer, a big void would be left in the shopping plaza,

where Dominick’s is now the anchor store. Brian Dowling, public affairs manager for Safeway, Inc. said Safeway does not have closing dates for stores. “This is the beginning of a process. We’re looking to identify buyers [at the Chicago area markets],” Dowling said. He could not comment on whether buyers are interested in Lake County locations. “We’re anticipating on having plans in place for the locations by early 2014,” Dowling said. “We certainly hope [Lake County locations] will not lose jobs. We’re asking prospective purchasers to consider our people for employment.” Four of the 72 stores have been sold and will be converted to Jewel-Osco. These are located in Chicago, Homer Glen and Glenview, according to Safeway. The decision to exit the Chicago market “is consistent with Safeway’s priority of maximizing shareholder value,” said Robert Edwards, Safeway president and CEO, in a press release. “These actions will allow us to focus on improving and strengthening our core grocery business.” - Sheryl DeVore and Yadira Sanchez Olson contributed.

Grant gives Gurnee schools fire safety books By JESSE CARPENDER jcarpender@shawmedia.com

Jesse Carpender – jcarpender@shawmedia.com

Chief Fred Friedl of Gurnee Fire Department, center, answers Spaulding Elementary School second-graders’ questions at a fire safety books unveiling Oct. 9 new books to read, and each was given a fire safety book they could keep. Debra Alexander, principal of Spaulding Elementary, said she read all of the new books. “They all have different things to offer. I learned what a quint is – it’s a firetruck with five different functions,” she

said. Some of the books are kid-friendly explanations of fire history like 9/11 or the Chicago Fire, while others explain fire prevention and paramedic careers. Cole Harmon, second-grader, was reading “A Day At The Fire Station” because he wanted to learn about the si-

rens and how to help people, he said. His classmate Jayvon Scott picked out a book on fire department dogs. Friedl answered students’ questions and explained the difference between fires on television and in reality. Friedl said, “Checking out books on fire safety also helps

Lindsay McCormack, second-grader at Spaulding Elementary School, said she likes to study fires to find out what causes them. She’ll have more opportunities to read about fire safety now that her school’s library has new books from the Gurnee Fire Department. McCormack and 14 other second -raders, chosen for their good behavior and superhero status in Spaulding’s Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports program, attended a special unveiling Oct. 9 in the school library. Chief Fred Friedl of Gurnee Fire Department and Mayor Kristina Kovarik helped unveil a case of fire safety books under a poster that reminds the students: “Everyday heroes read.” A $66,000 Department of Homeland Security grant has enabled the Gurnee Fire Department to provide local libraries with fire safety books, ebooks and DVDs. When the students settled into tables in the library, Alexander told them, “Our fire department did a really wonderful thing for schools all over Gurnee. They got a grant, which is what grown-ups do when they need something important.” After the shelves were unveiled, the students picked out

students think about careers. It’s great seeing young ladies reading books about how to become firefighters. We’re seeing greater diversity in fire rescue positions, and that’s a good thing. Hopefully some of these students will be in fire and police work someday.” Katie Sellnow, public education officer at Gurnee Fire Department, said $53,100 of the grant was spent on books for Woodland School District 50, Gurnee School District 56 and Warren Newport Public Library. The remainder of the grant was spent on fire hydrant display cases and bookmarks with fire safety messages on them, Sellnow said. “I do not have an exact total on how many books, DVDs and ebooks each school received,” Sellnow said. “I divided the money between each school as fairly as possible.” Sellnow said she worked with the same book company [Follet School Solutions] that the schools use to choose educational materials for each age level and maximize the buying power.John Kavanagh, deputy chief, said the Gurnee Fire Department wrote the grant three times in three years to get the funding. Mayor Kristina Kovarik said the village proclaimed October Fire Prevention Month to remind residents to check their fire extinguishers, change smoke detector batteries and plan escape routes.

What kind of a football team scores 60 points a game? Evidently a quick-striking offense. Two weeks after tallying 59 points against Libertyville, the Warren Township High School football team broke through the 60-point mark on the way to its fifth victory of the season. And the Devils (5-2) beat a North Chicago club that had tossed a shutout the week before. Warren quarterback Andrew Nickell tossed four touchdown passes. Running back Max Sorby rushed for nearly 300 yards in the 61-38 win over the Warhawks on Friday night in Gurnee. So what about those 61 points? This isn’t basketball, you know. “I think it’s the first time we’ve ever done that,’’ said Warren coach Dave Mohapp. And what about Sorby’s amazing night running the ball? “He had some good chunks of yardage,’’ Mohapp said. “Our linemen did a good job of blocking. He had a lot of carries. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a running back do this. It was just a big offensive night.” Sorby scored on touchdown runs of 34 and 5 yards. Both teams had trouble stopping the other club’s offense. At one time, the underdog Warhawks actually took a lead in Gurnee. “North Chicago played very well offensively,’’ Mohapp said. “Their quarterback had 220 yards running. When he got in the open field he had great speed.” Don’t worry, there was some defense in this game. It came from safety Ravon Spruill. He’s been in the news before for taking an in-

terception back for a touchdown. Well, he did it again. “That’s right, that’s the second one he’s had,’’ Mohapp said. “That interception was big. We had been trading scores with them.” Quarterback Nickell had a field day against the once-potent Warhawk’s defense. Of his four touchdown passes, three went to Caleb Reams. This junior caught scoring passes of 43 and 50 yards. “He had a nice night,’’ Mohapp said. The fourth scoring pass went to Javon Charleston. Sorby’s running mate in the Warren back field is Cedric Sanders. He was hobbled by an ankle injury but still managed a touchdown in the win. Add the two teams offenses together and you break into the 1,000 total yard mark. For fans of great offense, it was a perfect night. At 5-2, the Warren Blue Devils are eligible for the post-season. They will be clearly favored when onegame winner Mundelein visits come Friday night. The final game of the year is against a very good Lake Forest squad. Mundelein, despite having just one win, is improved from last year. “They look very improved on film,’’ Mohapp said. “They have some solid schemes. They play hard. It’s like any NSC game. It will be tough.” The Mustangs will have their hands full with Warren’s high-powered offense. Mundelein has lost six games in a row and only once in the past six weeks have they score more than 14 points in a contest. “We just want win No. 6,’’ Mohapp said. “It was just one of those nights on Friday. Every now and then, the offenses have a really good day.”

Pride Youth supports Warren Township’s gay teens By JESSE CARPENDER jcarpender@shawmedia.com When Scott Olson, Warren Township graduate of 2011, entered high school as a freshman, there wasn’t support for gay teens like him in Gurnee, he said. Olson said he would have benefited from making friends at Pride Youth, a support system for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) teens, which now has a Gurnee support group at Warren Township Youth and Family Services. Olson said by his freshman year he’d already gone through many of the challenges gay youths face, like coming out as gay to friends and family, on his own. He’d been out for a couple years and had worked hard to start a Gay-Straight Alliance at Warren-Township High School during his freshman year in 2007. He’d heard of the Pride Youth program run by Links, a Chicago nonprofit community education organization, as an

eighth-grader when program director Ershel DeLeon had visited his Unitarian church to talk about her group. “Just knowing they existed was really helpful,” he said. When he finally went to the Pride Youth group in Northfield as a senior, he found the LGBT community in the northwest suburbs to be larger than he imagined. Olson said what LGBT teens get from a group like Pride Youth is a space to safely express themselves and talk about issues they face without the burden of being judged or having to educate straight allies. “Pride Youth gives them a less-pressured space to meet people without feeling different,” he said. Olson is now attending Grinnell College in Iowa and plans to go into nonprofit LGBT justice work, like DeLeon. Ershel DeLeon started working with LGBT teens 12 years ago at Center on Halsted, the LGBT resource center in Chicago. “In the beginning, there

were nine kids,” DeLeon said. “Now we have four groups and 149 kids.” Links Pride Youth program had its 20th anniversary this September, DeLeon said. The discussion group doesn’t ask anyone to reveal their sexual orientation and focuses on providing support and building friendships, she said. She thinks the growth of the program is because with society becoming more open about the existence of LGBT people, kids are able to understand their sexual orientation at a younger age. “It’s not any easier for kids to come out nowadays, but when they do there’s more of a community for them,” DeLeon said. DeLeon does not identify as LGBT. In fact, when she first applied to be a counselor for LGBT teens in Chicago, she didn’t know what the acronym stood for. But after 12 years of working with LGBT youth, she understands the challenges they face growing up in the northwest suburbs, she said.

“For suburban kids, a lot of them rely on social media, so Pride is the only time they get face-to-face time with other teens like them,” she said. In the suburbs, LGBT teens have the added challenge of transportation, she said. “They have to get there. They have to have access to a car or their parents have to take them,” she said. Not all teens are ready to come out to their parents, DeLeon said. “I think it’s sad. I’d rather they could tell their parents they’re coming to the group. The hardest part of high school for them is hiding who they are,” she said. Some of the teens in her group lost all of their friends when they came out, she said. “But, many have a huge fear of rejection, that their family will throw them out or that the family relationship will change,” she said. DeLeon said coming out is one of the topics the group frequently discusses because it never stops.

“You’re coming out to new people throughout your life,” she said. “A big topic we discuss is coming out to your college roommate.” HIV prevention and making healthy choices are other frequent topics, she said. “I’ve always wanted to teach them to make healthy choices, because at school they learn everything from a hetero-centric point of view.” DeLeon said she’s learned that LGBT teens can be courageous. “I’m amazed by their bravery. Twenty years ago, people didn’t come out until they were established so they wouldn’t be homeless. But [the teens] tell me that they have to live their lives,” she said. “If you walked into our group, you’d see they’re just normal teenagers.” DeLeon’s Pride Youth group meets at Warren Township Youth and Family Services, 100 South Greenleaf Ave. For more information, visit www. linksyouth.org or email DeLeon at erscheldeleon@linksyouth. org.

I know you want the best for me but… You take a look at your daughter/son. (For simplicity sake, let’s say that it’s a daughter.) She is wonderful – straight-A student, a star in drama, excellent volunteer, maybe even involved in a sport. You cannot help think that she would be perfect for Harvard University (or any other top tier university), so you try and convince her to apply even though she already has her eyes set on another, less competitive school. ERROR ERROR ERROR!! We students know that what parents want is the best for their children. A lot of times, we will reach high like our parents. However, when it comes to college, it is best if the student makes the decision. Listen to his or her opinion. That way, there is no need to deal with transferring or wasting tuition by them going to a school that they do not enjoy.

Offer more support, less influence Parents are, of course, more than welcomed to

Juhui Seo

help with the application process. Helping students keep up with deadlines, college visits and researching schools to make sure the student knows as much as they can about the school, are all great ways that parents can help students. However, do not try to influence their applications too much. According to “US News & World Report,” parents should avoid influencing a college application essay, except for suggesting minor edits.

Expectations, expectations, expectations Students are constantly surrounded by expectations, not just by parents, but also by peers at school. It is easy for a student to feel at a disadvantage when another student is receiving higher grades and higher standardized test scores . “What if that girl gets into X school, while I don’t? I wish I got a 35 on the ACT, too. People will look down on me if I don’t get into a good school.” All kinds of thoughts flutter during this critical point of our lives. I think that most of us will agree: Sometimes all we really need is support. It’s the willingness to listen, and to accept wherever we go. It’s the assurance that my parents will be behind my back, even if everyone else, including myself, is less-than-impressed with me. So there it is, the ways that parents can be the most positively influential with college applications. Good luck to all parents and all fellow students. We’re almost there. – Juhui Seo is a senior at Warren Township High School. She enjoys writing, playing music and cooking.

Around this time of the year is when students and parents start to panic: The college applications process is starting. For all parents this can be a rather anxious and somewhat emotional experience – you’ve waited for the day that you can see your children go to college happy and successful. But, at the same time there are several questions that you’ll be asking: Will my child get into the college of his or her dreams? Will there be enough financial aid? Is the path that my child is choosing the best path? Will I be able to see her/him frequently? And, with the chaos of these questions, parents are sometimes clueless on how to start helping their children with college applications. That is why I have looked through the minds of students to give you the best advice I can provide.

StoryCorps visits Waukegan library By YADIRA SANCHEZ OLSON yolson@shawmedia.com Elizabeth Stearns laughed as she recalled telling her boss, Richard Lee, she would need free reign to get the Waukegan Public Library the awards he coveted 10 years ago. Lee is the library’s executive director and Stearns is the library’s assistant director of community services. This year, the library was given the highest honor a library or museum can get, the National Medal for Museum and Library Service award. The two were interviewed this month because of that honor, by the nonprofit organization StoryCorps, which records stories of people across the country to archive them in the Library of Congress. Library employees, volunteers and patrons were interviewed during StoryCorps’ three-day visit. “This couldn’t have come at a better time,” Stearns said. For a decade, library officials have worked diligently, Stearns said, pinpointing through community research, the needs of their patrons and creating innovative programs that meet those needs. One of those is the Promotores (Promoters) program, which has volunteers out in the community daily, promoting the library’s existing programs and asking residents what else their library can offer. Due to innovative ideas such as that program, Stearns said the library has been given other awards, such as the Upstart Innovation Award by the Public Library Association, two years in arow and others by the Illinois Library Association. Lee spoke to StoryCorps about his belief that a library is as essential in a

community as a police or fire department. “When we raise the education level, we lower crime and poverty,” Stearns said. Another set of library officials who recorded their stories were outreach manager Carmen Patlan and Promotores ambassador coordinator Tatiana Alonso. The two said they became emotional during their interview as they talked about the challenges they’ve had to overcome, as immigrants, learning a second language and being introduced to a different culture where they didn’t always feel welcome. “It’s what motivates us to help others who are still in that struggle,” Patlan said, referring to what she called a broken immigration system. The WPL services a large number of Spanish-speakers who come from many parts of Central and Latin America. Over the past five years the library has become an award-winning community organization where entire families can learn and benefit from visiting, Lee said. He added that it’s an honor to have his thoughts recorded and wished the five previous library directors could have had the same opportunity. “It would’ve been nice to hear what they had to say,” Lee said. At the end of each session, interviewees got a CD of their interview and their picture taken, which will be archived. Short versions of chosen interviews recorded by StoryCorps are heard each week on the National Public Radio show Morning Edition. One of the 18 interviews from the WPL will be chosen and edited into a StoyCorps segment provided to the library and posted on the Institute of Museum and Library Services IMLS.

false pretenses to send them back down south and make some money.” There were rumors among the townspeople that Mary also practiced the dark arts – torturing and killing slaves

for her rituals. For a time, they turned a blind eye to her evil doings, but there came a time that they couldn’t look the other way, Jensen said. “They lynched her on her own property,” he said. According to “Chicago Haunts: Ghostlore of the Windy City” by Ursula Bielski, in the 1960s a Lake County resident in her 90s claimed she watched Mary Worth burn at the stake.

Say you believe in her three times in a mirror, and she’ll appear. But watch out. She’ll scratch your face. She’s Bloody Mary Worth, and her origin is in Wadsworth, according to local lore. Bob Jensen, paranormal investigator and leader of Lake County’s GhostLand Society, said, “Just north of St. Patrick’s Cemetery, lived a woman named Mary Worth in the 1860s. Back then, many homes in Gurnee like the Mother Rudd house were part of the Underground Railroad. “Mary was part of the reverse underground railroad. She’d bring in slaves under

body was buried on her property. The second was that she was buried in the cemetery.” Jensen said that in the 1800s, it was improper to bury a witch on sacred ground, so it’s more likely she was buried on her property. One hundred years later, a subdivision was built nearby, Jensen said. “At the site of one house, construction workers found a stone and removed it,” he said. Legend says the stone may have been Worth’s gravemarker. It was placed in the path to the house, and creepy things began to happen. Dishes would fly off shelves at the house, he said.

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.

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.

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

Selecting the right lineup for your fantasy team can be a frustrating endeavor. How many times have you cringed 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

Most legends are based on people that really lived, remembered for one particular heinous deed or something wonderful they did.” Jensen said the tale of Bloody Mary’s true origin involves Mary I of England, who persecuted thousands of protestants and had 280 dissenters burned at the stake. Larry said, “While it’s debatable if the true Bloody Mary lived in Wadsworth or England, it’s interesting to think that this story that is told all over the country may have started here in Lake County.” Larry said it’s also interesting that Gurnee’s ghost stories are mostly from the era of the underground railroad, including stories of the Mother Rudd House and Warren-Newport Public Library. “Maybe they are all tied together, trapped in that time,” he said. “The Mother Rudd house is a nice backdrop to tell these stories when you imagine what people went through, traveling the Des Plaines River to throw off slave hunters,” Larry said. Jensen said it’s important to share stories like that of
