COMMUNITY CORNER: MARY LYNN CARVER

Feel good about Christmasshopping – use it as an opportu-nity to support music in schoolsby attending Warren TownshipHigh School Band Boosters’ 19thannual craft fair.From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 2 at

Warren Township High School’sAlmond Campus in the fieldhouse and utility gym, visitorscan browse over 110 vendorsand check out the raffle, bakesale and concessions. Admis-sion is free.Mary Lynn Carver, craft fair

coordinator and band boosterparent, shared why residentsshould support young musicians with GurneeSuburban Life reporter Jesse Carpender.

What are some Christmas gifts to pur-chase at the fair?I do all my Christmas shopping there. There’s

painted glassware, wire-wrapped serving sets,dried silk wreaths. There’s a guy who carveswood baskets and bowls, someone with holidaysigns for the yard and a local soap company. Thisyear, we also have a retail room with Lia Sophia,Avon, Pampered Chef and others.

Why do you organize the event for bandboosters?My daughter Clarissa is a senior at Warren. She

plays sousaphone in marching band and tuba insymphonic. My son also played tuba. I believein participating in your children’s education by

supporting their interests. I’mnot crafty myself, but I love craftfairs. I’ve done a lot of volunteerthings and the band boostersare the best I’ve ever workedwith.

How do students getinvolved?Vendors love our fair because

students help them load andunload using the band carts.The students usually fight overwho gets to wear the Blue Devilcostume. Last year, the BlueDevil took a conga line throughthe crafters.

How does the fair help the band?We made about $8,000 for the bands last year.

We have 300 students in our marching band, it’sthe biggest in the state. We have really strongband programs in Gurnee. Kids who participatein music and band develop self-discipline and arebetter at math and science. Boosters help supportthat because the schools have a limited budget.This year, the marching band had four huge mov-ing pieces with Chinese symbols that they usedin the show. That’s something we couldn’t havewithout band boosters.

Halloween is a scary time ofyear – with all the horror mov-ies on TV and the ghouls goingtrick-or-treating in the dark.

But there’s something scar-ier out there. It’s called carbonmonoxide, and this is the timeof year when fire departmentsremind homeowners to changethe batteries on their carbonmonoxide detectors, whichby state law must be in yourhome.

Carbon monoxide is anodorless, tasteless gas. If you’renot aware of its presence inyour home, a hotel room orother enclosed building, itcould kill.

A coworker told me thesad story of her mother-in-lawand father-in-law who died inAugust 2002 in a Wisconsincabin after it filled with carbonmonoxide. My coworker

spent three years getting a lawpassed in Wisconsin requiringhotels, motels, cabins and rent-al apartments to have carbonmonoxide detectors. To me,she’s a hero – someone who,in the face of a horrible event– found the courage to work toensure it wouldn’t happen toothers. Protect your family thisHalloween -- make sure yourcarbon monoxide detector isworking properly.

With snow plowing, practicemakes perfectBy JESSE [email protected]

Driving a snow plow onpavement, while weaving be-tween orange safety conesisn’t easy. The driver has tobe aware of the wings on thesides, which take six controlsto operate and the enormousplow itself.

Maneuvering through theobstacle course at Gurnee Pub-lic Works’ fourth annual SnowPlow rodeo is hard enough– and plowing gets a lot moredifficult in actual snow, whenthe safety cones are replaced bymailboxes and parked cars.

But that’s what practice isfor, and the public works main-tenance workers have a senseof humor about it.

Tom Rigwood, director ofGurnee Public Works, said atthe end of the plowing season,an award is given for the per-son who knocked over the mostmailboxes.

“Last year we took out 133mailboxes,” he said, addingthat public works replaces orrepairs mailboxes as needed.

Jake Balmes, street divisionsupervisor, said despite someemployee’s beliefs, the rodeocourse is not set up to be impos-sible.

“We set it to be very chal-lenging,” Balmes said.

Matt Bellefeuille drove afive-yard dump truck with asnow plow through the obsta-cles in Gurnee Mills’ entranceG parking lot. He’s won thesnow plow rodeo for the lastthree years. He drives a truckwith kids’ handprints in paintacross the plow, stamped thereduring a Gurnee Days openhouse.

Learning to drive with theplow “was a little nerve-wrack-ing, but once you get used to it,it’s like driving a car,” Belle-feuille said.”I tore up a little

grass, but that’s about it.“It’s one of my absolute

favorite things to do work-wise,” said Bellefeuille, whohas worked for Gurnee PublicWorks for 15 years. “It’s notphysically demanding, you’rewarm and it’s snowing.”

Gurnee isn’t the only townwith this type of rodeo – there’san American Public WorksAssociation snow plow contestin May, Rigwood said. GurneePublic Works usually placessomewhere in the middle of the50 teams, he said.

Twenty-five public workersparticipated in the rodeo, butnot Rigwood.

“I did it back in 2008 and [theworkers] sabotaged the coursefor me,” he laughed.

Balmes said the strangestthing he’s encountered whileplowing was a resident whobarricaded his driveway withchairs and two-by-fours to tryand keep the plowed snow out.

“The police came and weended up just pushing the snowthere anyway,” he said.

Rigwood said residents needto be patient.

“We’re trying to plow in thesame traffic you’re trying to gethome in,” he said.

Rush hour snow storms arethe biggest challenge, he said.

He also said kids shouldn’tplay in roadside snow piles.

“We’ve seen kids pop outof piles as we’re plowing. It’s asafety issue not only for us, butalso kids can tunnel into thosepiles and it can collapse,” hesaid.

Balmes said public worksdoesn’t have any special strat-egy when it comes to snow pre-dictions. “I know it’s snowingwhen I see the flakes,” he said.

Rigwood asks residents toview Gurnee Public Works’snow plow plan and video atwww.gurnee.il.us/public_works.

PETE SCHAEFERNORTHERN ILLINIOS FOODBANK

Give Pete Schaefer a dollar and he’ll

turn it into eight. No, he’s not a coun-

terfeit money-maker or a magician.

He’s the president and chief executive

officer of the Northern Illinois Food

Bank, with sites in Park City, Gene-

va and Rockford. Through the NIFB’s

partnerships with food organizations,

any dollar donated to them can buy $8

worth of food for the people in Lake

County. Schaefer began as a volunteer

of the NIFB 20 years ago, packing noo-

dles in Chicago and working the mobile

center, which travels to churches to

feed the hungry on the spot. This is the

NIFB’s 30th anniversary and this year,

its members and volunteers served 6.4

million meals with 7,710,054 pounds

of food going to Lake County families.

Schaefer of Lake Forest spoke to Gurn-

ee Suburban Life reporter Yadira San-

chez Olson about the food bank’s opera-

tion and needs.

PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW

Photo provided

Pete Schaefer is executive director of the Northern Illinois Food Bank.

LifeIn their

When are the busiestseasons for NIFB?

We say that hunger is a year-round issue, but right aroundthe time it gets cold and peoplestart getting their electric andheating bill is when we start tosee the families who now don’thave the budget for food.

How does the NIFB helpthose families in need?

We have many programs

and organizations we partner

with. The Holiday Meal Box

program provides families

with a frozen turkey that Jewel

provides us at a discount. The

box has the turkey, the stuff-

ing, potatoes, fruit, vegetables

and dessert. This year we’re

providing 32,000. We can put to-

gether that meal for a family of

eight for about $30.

In our Mobile Pantry Pro-

gram, we have two mobile

pantries. Last year we visited400 sites, like churches andshelters with deliveries of nu-tritious food directly to hun-gry neighbors. Working withlocal community groups andnetwork partners, these spe-cially designed trucks delivermeat, produce, nonperishablefood and other products to com-munities where hunger needssurpass the capacity of currentfood pantry resources. All weneed are 20 people with bighearts to volunteer and we’llshow up and provide the food.

Another one is the Back-pack Program. Over the week-end, those kids who get theirnutritional meals from school,get nothing. We partner witharea schools to identify andprovide chronically hungrychildren with a backpack totake home with enough nutri-tious food for them and twosiblings.

Through the Senior MealBox Program, 6,000 seniorshave been fed. The programprovides nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods to seniors whoare capable of cooking, but lackaccess to food due to financialor physical challenges. Eachbox contains nutritious andshelf-stable meal componentsthat supplement senior dietaryneeds. The food bank partnerswith senior associations andhousing facilities to providethese boxes free of charge.

Why do people in LakeCounty go hungry?

Many reasons, joblessness,medical conditions. A lot of ourclients have a job but they’rebasically the working poor be-cause they don’t make enoughto feed a family. There was a re-cent study by the Brookings In-stitute that found more peoplein the suburbs are now living

in poverty than in the city.

More than half the foodsource the NIFB providesis donated. Howmanyvolunteers work at NIFBandwhat do they do?

The bad news is that one infive kids in Lake County facehunger. The good news is thatwe have 14,000 volunteers, ofdifferent ages, from differentwalks of life that help to sort,inspect, package and every-thing else. They’re the enginethat makes us run. I tell peoplethere’s no shortage of food ormoney in Lake County, we justneed people to volunteer, do-nate, get involved and they do.We can always use more.

What volunteer eventsare coming up?

Since 2001 we’ve partneredwith the Canadian Pacific

Railway for the Holiday Trainfundraiser. On Dec. 4 at VikingPark in Gurnee, families canstop to see Santa and climbaboard the train and can bringcanned food or donate moneyto the food bank. It’s a real-ly sweet event for the kids toattend. The kids like to bringtheir cans of food to the box. Ithink it makes them feel goodto help.

The Northern Illinois FoodBank has started an ecardcampaign in which all onlinedonations of $30 or more willbe matched by a private foun-dation. The tax-deductible giftwill provide a traditional hol-iday meal including a turkey,sides and desert for a family ofeight. To learn more and makea donation, visit www.solvehu-ngertoday.org

By JESSE [email protected]

Ryan Nieves realized noone was working to make theDisabled Student Allianceat College of Lake County inGrayslake more active. So, hedecided to do it himself.

Nieves, 22 talked to the al-liance’s advisors, Mary AnnBretzlauf and Tom Crowe, toget meetings started up. Now,the group has 14 regular mem-bers, and they have made sev-eral changes to help the dis-abled at the college.

Last year, a set of automat-ic doors had the timing wrong,so students in wheelchairscouldn’t get through the sec-ond set of doors before theyclosed, said Bretzlauf.

“Students have advocat-ed for that since 2012 and it’sbeen fixed. That’s why it’s soimportant that this club ex-ists,” she said.

Four percent of the CLCstudent population have dis-abilities, according to CLC’sOffice for Students with Dis-abilities.

Nieves, who’s studyingcommunications at CLC,wants to be a motivationalspeaker advocating for dis-abled people.

“We are a strong group ofpeople and we need to speakfor ourselves,” he said.

Nieves advocates for peoplewith disabilities to have thesame rights and to be recog-nized rather than looked downupon in society. He wasn’t al-ways so outspoken – a highschool speech class helpedhim break out of his shell.

“I blossomed. It made mefeel cool,” he said.

Nieves was diagnosed withDuchenne Muscular Dystro-phy, which rapidly breaksdown muscles, when he was5 years old. As he grew up, hismobility lessened, he startedwith a walker, then leg brac-es and now uses a wheelchair.Three years ago, medicalissues arose and he beganto have a nurse assist himthroughout the day.

“It was interesting havingto put myself in the hands ofsomeone I just met and rely on

them,” he said.Being a rebellious teen, “I’d

speed off in my wheelchairand leave them in my dust,”he said.

“Some people don’t under-stand what having a disabili-ty entails,” he said. “With mycondition, it’s difficult for meto do anything. I need help get-ting around. My muscles areweakened, so I can’t lift myarms or legs.”

“I don’t let it get to me be-cause if I do, it will destroyme,” he said. “Having a smileand a positive attitude haskept me going.”

CLC staff – especially in theOffice for Students with Dis-abilities – are willing to help,he said.

Jamie Guadarrama, seniorsecretary for the Office forStudents with Disabilities,said the office provides stu-dents services based on theirneeds, like extended test-tak-ing time, note-takers or signlanguage.

“Students have come inand said [the DSA] gives themthe chance to connect,” Gua-darrama said.

Nieves said in the DisabledStudent Alliance, he’s metpeople who can relate to hisexperiences.

“We’ve had some of thesame experiences, but we’reall very different,” he said.

He said being able to relateto each other on days they feelweaker has brought him clos-er to some members.

Nieves said the group hastalked about how non-disabledpeople at CLC need to remem-ber to give people in wheel-chairs first priority when itcomes to the elevator.

Besides being polite ,Nieves said to be kind to dis-abled people:

“People are scared of peo-ple in wheelchairs. Look us inthe eye. Talk to us. You neverknow the interesting conver-sation you might have. Welike the same things everyoneelse does. I don’t think peoplerealize that,” he said.

Nieves, for example, isa huge fan of AMC’s TheWalking Dead. The DSA hada fundraiser event to watch

the entire first season of TheWalking Dead Oct. 18. Theyraised $1,000 for the club.They’ll use it to fund childseat safety checks by localpolice, to raise awareness forpreventing traumatic braininjury.

Nieves hopes more people,including non-disabled peo-ple, will join the Disabled Stu-dent Alliance.

“It’s difficult for some peo-ple to see us as more thanjust a disabled club,” he said.“As people who are disabled,we want to not only spreadknowledge but to teach peopleto open their hearts.”

Disabled Student Alliancemeets at 2:30 pm. on Tuesdaysin room T117 on CLC’s Grays-lake campus.

Peripheral neuropathy, or “nerve damage,” is one ofthe most chronic conditions in the U.S., affecting over 20million Americans.

Neuropathy results from injury to the nerves in the armsand legs. This disrupts the body’s ability to communicatewith its muscles, organs and tissues. Most people don’trecognize 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...interruptyour sleep...or even make your arm or legs feel weak attimes. But even if you’ve had neuropathy symptoms fora while, there are 3 common myths I often see with this

condition.

Myth #1: Thinking More Pills Are

The Only SolutionA 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 severesymptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Someof the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of whichhave serious side effects.Why not look for a drugless solution instead of justcovering over the pain?

Myth #2: Assuming Neuropathy is

Only Found in Diabetic PeopleDiabetic patients are not the only group to suffer with

this condition. Actually more neuropathy sufferers arenon-diabetic than are, according to a recent 2009 study.

Here’s what the study, done by The NeuropathyAssociation, revealed... “Neuropathy is oftenmisrepresented as only being diabetes-related. However,this survey demonstrates that for every diabeticneuropathy patient, there are at least six more patientssuffering with various neuropathies...” - Dr. Thomas H.Brannagan, III, medical advisor for The Neuropathy

Association.

Myth #3: Believing Numbness and

Tingling will go away on it’s own.One of the biggest myths people believe about their

numbness, tingling, and pain is that it goes away all byitself... without any treatment. But a study on back pain inthe British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showingthat 75% of back pain sufferers who do nothing about itwill have either pain or disability 12 months later. Let’sface it, your neuropathy symptoms haven’t gone away bynow, it’s not likely they will disappear on their own. Andit’s been shown in studies that if ignored, symptoms canintensify causing loss of sensation, unremitting pain, and

even disability.

Neuropathy Treatment System

Relieves Numbness & PainFortunately, if you are suffering from any neuropathy

pain, numbness or tingling, your symptoms may be relievedor eliminated by a new treatment.A new proven peripheral neuropathy treatment hasbeen developed by a leading medical device inventor.The system helps the natural nerve pathways betweenyour spine and feet (or hands) and can make your nervesfunctioning again. Just listen to what this new technologycan do...Before each impulse is sent, it analyzes the waveform ofyour nerves, determines any abnormalities, creates theunique healing signal necessary, administers it, and then re-evaluates the result. This process happens 7.83 times every

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 specialon page 4 so you can get a neuropathy evaluation to

determine if you qualify for this new treatment!

What does this offer include?Everything.

What Other Professionals aresaying about this program.”The ReBuilder has helped our patients who have painfulside effects from chemotherapy neuropathy so much...”

-Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

”Previously, treating peripheral neuropathy patients hasn’tbeen really successful...but I’ve never seen resolutions likewe’re seeing in these cases.”

Wendy’s, at 6585 GrandAve., opened its doors witha new look Oct. 14 after itsrecent redesign.

The restaurant was re-modeled as part of a compre-hensive brand transforma-tion to reinvent the Wendy’srestaurant environment– from food innovation tobuilding design to new pack-aging, according to a release.

“It’s very different fromwhat our customers in Gurn-ee are used to but we thinkthey’ll really like the freshlook and feel of the new Wen-dy’s,” said John Zielinski,divisional vice president ofWendy’s International.

Wendy’s conducted na-tionwide research and stud-ied customers’ experience inredesigning its restaurants,according to the release.

Based on this feedback,Wendy’s overhauled the in-teriors and exteriors of thebuilding in Gurnee. Thebuilding features large win-dows, bringing in the out-side natural light, creatingan open dining room withavailable seating at booths,

tables, lounge-style seating,and a Wi-Fi bar. A TV, fire-place, Coca-Cola Freestyleself-serve soda machine andpatios complete the transfor-mation.

In 2013, Wendy’s intendsto re-image at least 100company and 100 franchiserestaurants in North Amer-ica. In addition, Wendy’s isoffering $10 million in cashincentives for franchiseesto remodel existing Wendy’srestaurants.

Remodeling restaurantsis part of a multi-year strat-egy to reinvigorate theWendy’s brand throughoutNorth America and the waycustomers interact withWendy’s, according to therelease. The brand strategyinvolves menu changes aswell, including offering newitems such as Berry AlmondChicken Salad, Dave’s Hot‘N Juicy Cheeseburger andlimited time items like theFlatbread Grilled ChickenSandwich.

Other brand enhance-ments are new advertisingand marketing campaigns,a revised Wendy’s logo, newcrew uniforms and productpackaging innovations.

Cemetery lets humans rest with beloved petsBy YADIRA SANCHEZ OLSON

[email protected]

Tony Dillon’s experiencewith his chocolate Labrador,Guiness, was from the wombto the grave, he said.

As a veterinarian in LakeBluff, he said he listened toGuiness’ “little heart whenhe was inside his mom,” andthat theirs was an inseparablebond since then.

That’s why Dillon chose tobury Guiness June 6 at Aar-rowood Pet Cemetery in Ver-non Hills. Guiness died May 5.

Guiness’ body, Dillon said,was failing him and he madethe difficult decision to eu-thanize him. Guiness was 15years old. Dillon said as dif-ficult as that was, he wouldhave had no one else performthe euthanization.

While making burial ar-rangements for his loyal ca-nine, Dillon made anotherdecision. He bought a plotnext to Guiness so that afterhe dies he may forever rest byhis friend.

The staff at Aarrowoodhelped him with all the ar-rangements and they did it

tenderly, he said.“They let me go loose with

what I wanted,” Dillon said.

He wanted his friends withhim when he said that finalgoodbye to the pet that had

accompanied him to work ev-ery single day, the one who hesaid, stole his heart when hestole that first french fry fromthe Burger King bag he hadleft in the car when he walkedout to run an errand.

“He loved Burger King,”Dillon said.

He loved it so much, Dillonburied him with a cardboardBurger King crown and his fa-vorite stuffed animals.

His staff, his friends, hisfamily and even his real es-tate agent attended Guiness’funeral. It was a rainy dayand a friend played classicaltunes with his guitar whiledoves were released into thesky and to remember the oc-casion, Dillon passed out dogtags with Guiness’ name.

“Everyone mourns in dif-ferent ways,” Dillon said.“That was a celebration of hislife.”

He added that the staff atAarrowood was always com-

-passionate and made every-thing about that sad experi-ence better.

“That’s what we’re herefor,” said family service coun-selor of the pet cemetery, ScottRobins.

He said cremations, homeeuthanizations and burial ofbodies or ashes are all optionsfamilies have.

“I’ve heard many peoplesay they wished they hadknown about us before [theirpet died],” Robins said.

“A lot of the time veteri-narians don’t even know of allthe options the families have.”

At the cemetery, expres-sions of the love families havefor their pets are clearly visi-ble with elaborate headstoneswith the photos of a dog or catetched on them.

Gold plaques with the be-loved pet’s name and etch-ings of the entire family, bothhumans and pet adorn theground.

“I love just walking herelooking at these monuments

because they’re so sweet,”said Anna Locki, family ser-vice manager of the humanburial side of the cemetery,Willow Lawn.

Locki said pet owners ex-press their love with flowers,stuffed animals and otheritems that represented thepersonality of the family pet.Poems and nicknames alsoappear on some of the head-stones.

Locki said 7,793 animalsare buried there, includingllamas, monkeys and ham-sters.

She recalls a recent funer-al of a 12-year-old’s hamster.“She wanted him next to herheart,” Locki said. “She didn’tknow how but that’s what shewanted.” Locki made thathappen by putting the cremat-ed ashes in a locket she gaveto the little girl.

“We’re here to make thishurtful process a loving ex-pression,” Locki said.

W a r r e n T o w n s h i pHigh School had a chancet o g e t a h o m e p l a y o f fg a m e . T h e B l u e D e v i l sneeded to topple a goodLake Forest squad on Fri-day night to do that. Itdidn’t happen.

B o t h t e a m s e n -tered this game at LakeF o r e s t w i t h i d e n t i c a l6-2 marks. And the Scoutsmoved to 7-2 with a 31-19 victory. High-scoringWarren was held down in thisloss. It didn’t help to have starrunning back Max Sorbysidelined with an injury.He was fresh off a nearly300-yards rushing game theweek before in a romp overMundelein.

The Devils fell down bya pair of touchdowns ear-ly, but responded. Justbefore halftime, quarter-back Andrew Nickell hookedup with receiver JavonCharleston with a short touch-down pass and the Devils weredown 14-7.

The Scouts took overfrom there and pushed theiradvantage to 31-7. Warrenfought back as Nickel lrang up TD passes to Dan-ny Rockingham and CalebReams.

Missing Sorby hurt bad-ly as Warren’s rushingoffense didn’t crack the2 0 - y a r d s m a r k . N i c k e l lwas forced to throw thebal l most of the game.R o c k i n g h a m w a s N i c k -ell’s favorite receiver ashe collared eight passes.Reams had 4 catches andCharleston had 3 receptions.

And now, Warren Town-ship football fans finally havea Friday night free. You canleave all the Halloween can-dy at home and take in amovie. However, put yourSaturday night plans on hold.

The Titans and Blue Dev-ils had one common foeduring the season. It was 5-4New Trier. Both clubs pound-ed the Trevians. That’sthe same New Trier teamthat Warren dominatedearlier in the campaign.The Blue Devils had a 42-0lead after three quarters. War-ren won that game 42-6.

Glenbrook South playedjust four games againstteams with winning records.On the other hand, Warren’sthree losses came againstt e a m s t h a t a r e h e a d e dto the playoffs with a com-bined record of 22-5.

Does that make Warrena slight favorite? Will War-ren be at full force comeS a t u r d a y n i g h t ? W i l lt h e o f f e n s e b e a b l e t oput up points like it didearlier in the campaign?

VILLAGE VINE

A new chapter in thehistory of Gurnee

As I write this column,Gurnee Grade School is beingtorn down. In fact, it may verywell be all gone. When myhusband, Bob and I went past iton Oct. 15, the newest part hadalready been demolished. Theolder sections, at first glance,looked to be intact. However, asI looked through the windows,I could see that there was noback wall. Pretty much, onlythe facade remained.

The former school groundswill be converted into a park,which will help alleviate someof the flooding that occurswhen the nearby Des PlainesRiver overflows its banks.District 56 did not have tosandbag there this year whenthe river flooded. That’sbecause students from GurneeGrade School moved to theRiver Trail School, formerlyO’Plaine School, in Gurnee.Another school, Prairie Trail,was completed in January inWadsworth to accommodatethe students from River Trail.

People have asked me whyGurnee Grade was built on thefloodplain. Well, it’s simple.Back before the interstates,before automobiles, beforerailroads, waterways – rivers,lakes, oceans – were a mainsource of transportation. Manytowns and cities were builtalong waterways and the DesPlaines River was no exception.

When the first Gurneeschool building was builtaround 1838, it made perfectsense to build it by the river.The first church in WarrenTownship, now known asGurnee Community Church,was built alongside the Gurneeschool on Kilbourne Roadacross from Mother Rudd’sTavern. (Yes, it was MotherRudd’s Tavern, not “home,” al-though Wealthy Rudd probablylived there. It was an inn and astop for weary travelers, as wellas a stop on the UndergroundRailroad.)

According to the WarrenTownship Historical Society,a second school building waserected in 1840. It was later re-located a quarter mile down theroad after a protest by parentswho objected to their children“-seeing drunken men at the

saloon across the road.”In 1868, a two-room brick

building was erected and JamesAlvord is listed as the firstteacher in the new school. Stu-dents from first to 10th gradeattended. Those who wishedto complete their high schooleducation then had to board inWaukegan or to travel by horseand buggy to attend WaukeganHigh School. Tuition was $25per year.

As the population of Gurneegrew, the school building grewwith several additions. WarrenTownship High School erectedits own building on O’PlaineRoad, and Gurnee Grade Schoolbecame an elementary school.Viking School was built in1970 (the current building waserected in 1998) to house sixth,seventh and eighth grades,with kindergarten through fifthgrades remaining at GurneeGrade.

When Spaulding SchoolDistrict was dissolved, Gurn-ee District 56 now includedSpaulding North School. Later,O’Plaine School was added,and most recently, GurneeGrade School became a magnetschool.

Of course, many peoplehave had ties to Gurnee GradeSchool. While neither Bob nor Iattended it, both of our kids aregraduates of District 56. BothTom and Lisa attended GurneeGrade School for a numberof years, and both requestedbricks from the building tokeep as souvenirs. Bob and I at-tended the demolition ceremo-ny on Sept. 30 and got a couple ofbricks, and have since been ableto get a few more (we had re-quests from our kids’ friends toget bricks for them). Bricks areavailable while supplies last andmay be obtained from 7 a.m. to 3p.m., weekdays from the GurneePublic Works Building, 1151Kilbourne Road.

The first thing you need to realizeabout the Bears trip to Lambeau Fieldthis Monday night is these are notyour father’s Green Bay Packers andthese aren’t your granddaddy’s Bears.

When was the last time the Bearswere one of the NFL’s worst defenses,but one of the game’s most explosiveoffenses? Not in my lifetime.

But there it is as the Bears preparefor the Packers. The Bears are ranked27th in the NFL in total defense, 31stin average gain per play allowed, 31stin sacking the quarterback, and 29thin points allowed. Offensively, it’s adifferent story. The Bears are fourth inthe league in average gain per offen-sive play and second in points scored.

Somewhere, there are cows jump-ing over the moon.

Not everything is different in Green

Bay. The Packers still are No. 2 in totaloffense, first in average gain per play,third in third down efficiency, seventhin time of possession and third inpoints scored. But when was the lasttime the Packers were fourth in theNFL running the football?

If you look on the other side of theball, you’ll find a Packers’ defense thatwas near the bottom of the league lastyear but is now 11th overall, fourth vs.the run, fifth sacking the quarterback,and 10th in third down efficiency.

The only statistic that actuallyfavors the Bears in this game is oneyou’d expect, with the Bears at plusseven turnover/takeaway ratio andthe Packers at minus two. Even that ismisleading, however. The Bears haveactually turned the ball over 11 timesto just nine for the Packers, but theBears defense has 18 takeaways whilethe Packers have only seven.

The turnover/takeaway ratio isa battle the Bears will have to win tohave a chance to pull the upset.

The new fearsome Packers’ groundgame is keyed by rookie Eddie Lacy,

who’s piled up 446 yards on 112 carriesfor a 4.0 average, and supplementedby the rejuvenated James Starks, whohas 244 yards on 41 carries for a gaudy6.0 average. Another rookie, Johna-than Franklin, has 19 carries for 107yards and a 5.6 average.

What is so troublesome about thePackers rushing attack is it’s the mainreason they are seventh in the NFL intime of possession while the Bears are21st. The key to helping the Bears de-fense is to keep it off the field, but thatwill be difficult if they can’t handle thePackers running game.

Then, of course, there’s AaronRodgers. In spite of playing the entireseason without his left tackle, BryanBulaga, and now significant time with-out James Jones, Randall Cobb andJermichael Finley, at 108.0 he is stillthe NFL’s fourth-rated quarterbackbehind only Peyton Manning, PhilipRivers and Drew Brees.

The idea of Rodgers dissecting aBears defense with its third stringthree-technique tackle, backup defen-sive ends, two rookie linebackers and

a pair of safeties who’ve spent almostevery week after a game this season inthe severe burns unit has the potentialfor a real nightmare.

Improvements on the Packers’defense have come from a better teamapproach but significant individualimprovements from defensive endJohnny Jolly, who is back after threeyears away from the game due tooff-the-field issues, the move of BradJones to inside linebacker, a shift fromdefensive end to outside linebackerfor Mike Neal, Nick Perry’s return tohealth, and big bounce-back seasonsfrom A.J. Hawk and Sam Shields.

One matchup to watch will be theoccasions when massive nose tackleRyan Pickett lines up on Bears’ rookieKyle Long, and whether or not theBears’ blockers and Josh McCown canhandle the Packers’ pass rush.

Will the moment be too big for Mc-Cown and all those Bears’ rookies get-ting their first taste of the NFL’s oldestand best rivalry, or can the Bears forcethe Packers into a shootout and find away to have the ball last?

Top 10 fantasy surprises so far this seasonBy J.C. TALON

Fantasy football writer

Last week we looked at fan-tasy’s biggest 2013 disappoint-ments.

This week we take a posi-tive spin and address a morepleasant topic: The 10 Ten Fan-tasy Surprises So Far.

To be considered a Top 10Fantasy Surprise, we consid-ered aggregate draft position,total points and points perstart. Points are based on stan-dard scoring with no pointsper reception.

10. Chiefs Defense: Aggre-gate Draft Position: 236/PointsPer Start: 10.3

Once a pushover target foryour fantasy lineup, the Chiefsare currently 8-0 and lead alldefenses in fantasy pointsscored. On average, they werethe 21st defense to come offfantasy football draft boards.

9. Peyton Manning, QB, Den-

ver: Aggregate Draft Position:15/Points Per Start: 28.4

Some might argue withlisting the world’s most fa-mous athlete as a “surprise.”However, Manning was thethird quarterback to comeoff the board and lasted untilthe third or fourth rounds inmany drafts. He is currentlyleading fantasy in total pointsand points per start.

8. Josh Gordon, WR, Cleve-land: Aggregate Draft Posi-tion: 108/Points Per Start: 12.7

I guess it’s a surprise whenanyone on the Browns produc-es. Gordon is a superior talentwho has played well despiteabysmal quarterback play. Hisdraft position was undoubt-edly affected by the two-gamesuspension he served at thestart of the season.

7. Marvin Jones, WR, Cincin-nati: Aggregate Draft Position:Not drafted/Points Per Start:9.9

With Jones scoring fourtouchdowns last week, thisprobably seems like a knee-jerk reaction. However, Jonesproduced in the two weeks pri-or and has averaged 21 pointsover the last three weeks.

6. Tony Romo, QB, Dallas:Aggregate Draft Position: 59/Points Per Start: 19.5

Matthew Stafford was con-sidered here, but Romo hasproduced similar results andwas drafted 17 spots lowerthan the Detroit quarterback.Currently, Romo is rankedfourth among fantasy quarter-backs and (on average) he was

the 11th quarterback to be se-lected in fantasy drafts.

5. Jordan Cameron, TE,Cleveland: Aggregate DraftPosition: 116/Points Per Start:11.5

About a dozen tight endswere taken before Cameron,who currently ranks No. 3 athis position with 92 points.

4. Fred Jackson, RB, Buffalo:Aggregate Draft Position: 117/Points Per Start: 13.4 (#39 RBtaken)

Although teammate CJSpiller received all of the pre-draft attention, it’s the steadyJackson who leads Buffalo intouches and scores. Jacksonranks No. 9 among fantasybacks with 94 points.

3. Terrance Williams, WR,Dallas: Aggregate Draft Posi-tion: Not drafted/Points PerStart: 8.8

Most of us thought thatAustin Miles would comple-ment Dez Bryant, but the rook-

ie from Baylor has emergedas the second fiddle in Dallas.Williams has averaged 14.8points in his last four games.

2. Jordy Nelson, WR, GreenBay: Aggregate Draft Position:68/Points Per Start: 13.5 (25th

WR)Maybe you’re not surprised

that Nelson has produced, butit would have been hard to ex-pect this level of play. Not onlywas Nelson taken after 24 oth-er receivers, he was actuallythe third receiver on his teamto be drafted (behind RandallCobb and James Jones).

1. Knowshon Moreno, RB,Denver: Aggregate Draft Posi-tion: 205/Points Per Start: 15

The 63rd running back se-lected has outscored all butone other running back (Ja-maal Charles). To get a betteridea of how crazy that is, con-sider this: As the 63rd backdrafted, he was likely the No.5 or 6 back on a fantasy roster.
