KEEPING YOUNG ATHLETES SAFE FROM CONCUSSIONAnother sports season is well

under way in area schools. Young athletes have been training for weeks to play their best and win.

But along with the excitement of watching a great sports competition, there’s cause for concern about an injury that affects up to 10% of all players in contact sports – concussion.

A concussion is a brain injury, caused by a blow to the head or body that causes the brain to “bounce” back and forth in the skull.

Just mild force can trigger a cascade of symptoms. Concussions can alter an athlete’s quality of life, and can even be life-threatening, without proper medical management that guides treatment and return-to-play decisions.

In order to fully recover, the injured brain needs complete rest.

Most parents think of football when there’s talk of concussion, but more and more athletes in other sports such as soccer, ice hockey, wrestling and basketball are experiencing them, too.

Unfortunately, you can’t see a concussion. Signs and symptoms sometimes show up right after the injury – or not until days or weeks after the injury.

If your child reports any of the following signs of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms yourself, seek medical attention right away:

• Appears dazed or stunned• Is confused• Forgets an instruction• Is unsure of score or opponent• Moves clumsily• Answers questions slowly• Loses consciousness• Shows behavior or personality changes• Can’t recall events prior to, or after, the hit or fall

Common symptoms reported by athletes who have suffered a concussion include headaches

or pressure in the head; nausea or vomiting; balance problems or dizziness; double or blurry vision; sensitivity to light or noise; feelings of being sluggish or groggy; confusion; difficulty concentrating; or overall complaints of not “feeling right.”

PreventionWhile every sport is different,

there are steps your children can take to protect themselves from concussion.

For starters, talk to them about following their coach’s rules for safety and the rules of the sports, and encourage them to practice good sportsmanship at all times. Make sure they wear the right protective equipment for their sport, such as helmets, padding, shin guards, and eye and mouth guards. All protective equipment should fit properly, be well maintained and be worn consistently and correctly.

What to Do if You Suspect Your Child Has a Concussion

If you think your child has suffered a concussion, seek medical attention right away. A healthcare professional will be able to decide how serious the concussion is and when it is safe for your child to return to sports.

Second, keep your child out of play until a healthcare professional says it’s OK to return. Concussions take time to heal. Children who return to play too soon – while the brain is still healing – risk a greater chance of having a second concussion. Second or later concussions can be very serious, causing permanent brain damage and affecting your child for a lifetime.

Ingalls Concussion ProgramThe Ingalls Concussion

Program aims to address the hidden dangers of concussion facing young athletes. At-risk athletes can

participate in ImPACT testing – a comprehensive assessment tool that provides standard measures on brain processing, speed, memory and visual motor skills, which helps medical experts determine if concussion is improving.

Over 3,500 high schools across the nation, along with numerous collegiate and professional teams, currently use the ImPACT assessment tool – including dozens in the South Suburbs, which received the program for free from Ingalls.

The goal is to make sure that athletes are thoroughly evaluated, properly diagnosed and treated, and monitored for safe return to play.

The Ingalls Concussion Program is the only one of its kind in the South Suburbs to involve a full complement of highly skilled and experienced adult and pediatric medical and surgical specialists. In addition to accurate assessment, management and treatment, the program also focuses on education and prevention.

If you or someone you know has suffered a concussion or other sports-related injury, call the Ingalls Sports Network at 708.915.OUCH (6824). Physician appointments are available within 24-48 hours.

Dr. James Krcik is an orthopedic surgeon and pediatric sports medicine specialist. He has an office in Tinley Park and is affiliated with the Ingalls Concussion Program and the Ingalls Advanced Orthopedic Institute.

TinleY park coMMuniTY TheaTerCalling all adults! Whether you’ve had some acting experience or you have a secret desire to ‘take the stage’, you’re invited to audition. After a short interview, you’ll audition by reading a simple monologue from the play. (Those wishing to be considered for one of the Marx Brothers or Margaret DuMont, please prepare to demonstrate your ability to mimic the character of your choice.) That’s it! Please bring a list of your schedule conflicts as well as your clothing sizes to the audition. Call (708) 342-4200 or email [email protected] to be added to the audition list or for additional information.

MonkeY SoupThis no holds barred farcical comedy by Don Nigro is set in the 1930s and the demented, madcap, galloping but loving parody plays homage to the sort of film the MARX BROTHERS might have made after a hundred cups of coffee with their hair set on fire. The language is rapid fire and the physical comedy is maniacal. The laughs will be glorious. Become a member of our cast and theater company and give your talents a unique opportunity. If you’re new to the stage, let us help you develop your talents into the skills you’ll need for the best of classic and contemporary theater. A great play for children and adults alike!

MonTY pYThon MeeTS The canTerBurY TaleSor geoffrey cHaucer’s fLyIng cIrcus by burtOn bumgarnerWe’re revolutionizing the study of classical literature with this season’s incredibly silly yet educational comedy. We’ll meet many of the traditional characters whose tales are told in high school, along with a few who end up in the wrong play. This enjoyable, screwball comedy is in the Monty Pythonesque style (and if you don’t know what that means ask someone who watched their unique show in the 1970s.) This production will only be cast with children ages 7-18 who have never had a large or leading role in a play, anywhere, giving them a unique opportunity.Program #: 109902ALocation: Tinley Park Performing Arts CenterAge: 7-18 (or with director’s consent)Audition Date: Saturday, February 2Audition Time: 9:00-11:30 a.m.Rehearsal Date: Saturday, February 16-May 11 & Sunday, May 5Rehearsal Time: 9:00-11:30 a.m.Director: Sarah Tierney, Associate Director and Daniel Wm.

a life WorTh iMproViSing aT The purple pelican by daniel wm. dewaltThis new dramatic-comedy is a marvelous combination of heart and humor, and was created as an answer to the many requests for such a play. Troubled children and teens are lost in the chaos of the penal system until they have an opportunity to regain a fresh, meaningful and genuine life at the Purple Pelican Halfway House. There they deal with their ongoing problems by being introduced to a remarkable improv program that allows them to develop skills, character and courage. Through learning the comical side of their existence and finding their ‘voice’, can these young people survive without destroying one another, or themselves? This premier production is for all children ages 7 to 18 with or without acting experience.
