VFW honors Woodridge commander VFW honors commander of Woodridge Memorial VFW Post 1578

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. recently announced that Ray Travis achieved All-American status as a Post commander.

Travis, a Vietnam Marine veteran, commander of Post 1578 in Woodridge, is one of only 279 VFW Post commanders worldwide to earn the title of All-American Commander, that’s the top 4 percent in the VFW. To achieve this honor, Post commanders must meet strict requirements in their role to include exceptional leadership, authentic accomplishment in membership growth and strong support of VFW core programs.

Post 1578 attained 113 percent

membership growth and 100 percent in supporting core VFW programs.

“The All-American Commanders have attained this coveted title through outstanding achievements in membership growth and participation in VFW programs,” said VFW National Commander Brian Duffy. “They are a fine example of VFW leadership. Their hard work and dedication to the mission and values of our organization has rightly earned them this great honor.”

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. is the nation’s largest and oldest major war veterans’ orga-

nization. Founded in 1899 and chartered by Congress in 1936, the VFW is comprised entirely of eligible veterans and military service members from the active, Guard and Reserve forces. With nearly 1.7 million VFW and Auxiliary members located in almost 6,500 Posts worldwide, the nonprofit veterans’ service organization is proud to proclaim “no one does more for veterans” than the VFW, which is dedicated to veterans’ service, legislative advocacy, and military and community service programs.

GUEST COLUMN

On wars & rumors of wars There will be risks, and results take time

BY CAL THOMAS TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY One month after the election, President-elect Donald Trump made a “victory tour” of states that had helped deliver his surprise win.

In Fayetteville, North Carolina, Trump introduced his choice for Secretary of Defense, Gen. James Mattis, and pledged the following: “We will stop racing to topple foreign regimes that we know nothing about, that we shouldn’t be involved with. Instead, our focus must be on defeating terrorism and destroying ISIS, and we will.”

He appears to be fulfilling the second part of that pledge, less so the first. Think North Korea, Iran, Russia, and now even Venezuela, which has had new sanctions placed on it following fraudulent elections giving dictatorial power to President Nicolas Maduro.

While Venezuela is no threat to America and Russia is a major headache, North Korea and Iran are clear and present dangers.

These two rogue regimes are committed to developing nuclear weapons capable of reaching U.S. cities no matter what we do.

Clearly this cannot be allowed to happen, but the question is how to stop them short of all-out war that has the potential to kill millions and create a doomsday scenario reminiscent of Cold War movies like “Fail Safe,” “Dr. Strangelove” and “On the

Beach.”

The best offense really is a good defense. When Ronald Reagan proposed his “Strategic Defense Initiative” (SDI) in a nationally televised address on March 23, 1983, many on the left mocked him. They called his proposal science fiction and unworkable, derisively labeling it “Star Wars.”

They’re not mocking that proposal now. The Defense Department has had several successes with its Terminal High Altitude Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system, but only at targets that represent medium-range missiles. In May, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency also “’successfully intercepted’ an intercontinental ballistic missile during the first test of its ground-based intercept system.”

That’s not science fiction.

Readers should revisit Reagan’s speech as a template for dealing with modern threats.

In that address from the Oval Office, Reagan said the risk of war is lessened when the U.S. has a strong deterrence, which he defined as “making sure any adversary who thinks about attacking the United States, or our allies, or our vital interests, concludes that the risks to him outweigh any potential gains. Once he understands that, he won’t attack.

We maintain the peace through our strength; weakness only invites aggression.”

Reagan said the strategy of deterrence had not changed, but what it takes to deter had changed. While acknowledging it might take decades to achieve his Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), Reagan said he wanted to take the first step.

He concluded his address:

“I am directing a comprehensive and intensive effort to define a longterm research and development program to begin to achieve our ultimate goal of eliminating the threat posed by strategic nuclear missiles.

This could pave the way for arms control measures to eliminate the weapons themselves. We seek neither military superiority nor political advantage. Our only purpose - one all people share - is to search for ways to reduce the danger of nuclear war.

My fellow Americans, tonight we’re launching an effort which holds the promise of changing the course of human history. There will be risks, and results take time. But I believe we can do it. As we cross this threshold, I ask for your prayers and your support.”

President Trump should emulate his predecessor, making his first televised address from the Oval Office during which he explains to Americans why North Korea and Iran pose an immediate, or ultimate, threat to the United States. He should announce a fast-track effort to escalate THAAD so it can destroy ICBMs. A space-based, anti-missile system should then complement our defenses in order to protect America and our allies from nuclear attack.

As Reagan noted, weakness encourages tyrants. Tehran and Pyongyang must be encouraged at what appears to be instability in the Trump administration. A credible missile defense system would send them a message more powerful than words.

VILLAGE NEWS >> DOWNERS GROVE

Walgreens gets approval for 63rd St. location Improvements to the site include building a new 14,490-sq.-ft. Walgreens and drive-thru with 66 parking spaces

BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Downers Grove is getting a new pharmacy.

Village officials reviewed a series of measures last week to advance construction for the property located at 2001 63rd St. The matter was last discussed at an April 1 public meeting, at which point commissioners raised questions for the material that would be used to construct the pharmacy.

Commissioner Nicole Walus said there are reasons to continue to have concern with the request.

“I am worried about the durability and the aesthetics of the EIFS that is used mainly on the entire building,” she said.

Improvements to the site include building a new 14,490-square-foot Walgreens and drive-thru with 66 parking spaces.

It further entails several measures to address concerns for traffic.

The Village wants the building of the pharmacy to serve as a catalyst for future development in the

Meadowbrook Shopping Center.

“My concern is that we’re settling here for the bare minimum,” Walus said. “I’m not looking to completely kill this [proposal.]

What I would like to do is refine it.”

Walus wanted the council to table the matter until Sept. 12 to allow the petitioner to have time to make changes to the proposal.

The proposed plans currently align with the Village’s Comprehensive Plan and zoning codes.

Renderings presented to the Downers Grove council for consideration provided the Village with Walgreens’ latest prototypical building design.

Commissioner Bob Barnett questioned the council’s focus and suggested that Village officials have conversations about codes at a later time.

“It’s not up to us to sit here and say, ‘Yeah, well, I wish they’d do something different for material type,’ when it’s privately funded, private property development that fits within our code,” he said.

The development in question includes a number of amend-

ments that require the council’s approval.

Commissioner Marge Earl took a moment to explain the reason she will not be supporting the development.

“They’re asking us for a drivethru, which is a special use,” she said. “I didn’t think that it was so far out of line to ask for something in return. Maybe, less EIFS on the building with an eye toward durability, so that this will be a lasting building.”

In a 3-4 vote, the council decided not to table the matter. Mayor Martin Tully and Commissioners William White, Hose and Barnett were the dissenting votes. In a pair of 4-3 votes, officials advance plans for the building of a convenience store with a drive-thru.

Commissioners William Waldack, Walus and Earl voted against the proposed development. In a unanimous decision, the council voted to approve parking lot and façade improvements in the Meadowbrook Shopping Center.

Commissioner Greg Hose wanted to thank the petitioner from Walgreens for working with the Village.

“I know they’ve been looking to move the facility that was on Belmont [Avenue] for quite some,” he said. “[We’ve] been

looking at this particular intersection for quite some time. We’re getting some, I think, welcomed renovations to the Meadowbrook Shopping Center along with it,

and I think the Walgreens will be a very nice addition and keeping the sales tax here in the Village of Downers Grove, which is always good.”

Indiana’s Swan Lake Resort is a great stay and play destination

BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

While golf is a great game to go out and play on a Sunday for a few hours of relaxation, but it can also be a destination game where a group of friends can escape for a weekend.

If that is what you are looking for – Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, Indiana is exactly what you are looking for.

The property includes topnotch amenities including several lodging choices, one being the hotel – which includes both an indoor and outdoor pool – and Putters, a full bar and grill.

But while the food, drink and luxury part of Swan Lake would make it well worth the stay on its own – if you are there for a few days chances are you are there to golf and you will not be disappointed.

The resort offers a pair of 18hole championship courses, which both are $49 during the week and $59 Friday through Sunday.

Twilight rates are $25 for the weekdays and $35 on weekends.

We played the Black course first. The Black is a par 72 that plays 7,131 yards from the back tees, 6,481 in the middle and 5,272 in the front.

On the Black Course, play opens with the second easiest rated hole on the course – a par-

4 that plays 366 from the tips.

This straight tee shot is better played to the right to allow an easier iron shot to the green.

A 176-yard par 3 is next. A hole with water on both sides of the fairway, landing the ball short is not a terrible play – but be careful on the pitch because the green will runs drastically toward you.

Hole 3 is a daunting par-4 at 425 yards with water all around.

Big hitters can clear the water to the left and make for an easier play into the pin – but for most players, a layup here is a safe play even though you will have a long iron in your hand for your second shot.

Number four is the hardest hole on the course and you will know why. A 607-yard par 5, this hole has a creek bisecting the fairway and a pond guarding the green. You have to be precise here with your drive to avoid the water to the left, but then need to be able to carry the water on your next two shots.

A rare back-to-back par-5s is what is in store here with the 509-yard fifth hole.

Big hitters can get the ball over the hill and get some roll offering a birdie chance and maybe gaining back a lost shot from the hole before.

The birdie on five may be needed, because a tough, 433-

CLASS FROM PAGE 7 yard par-4 follows that. The hole plays much easier here from the white tees as they take out the slight dogleg.

The seventh plays at 378-yards and is a hole where accuracy is needed. There is trouble on both sides of the fairway and a straight drive here makes the hole more playable.

A 215-yard par-3 follows and is mentally challenging and will have you second guessing your club selection – which we did several times over in our round.

There is water on three sides of the green, a large bunker to the left and a cluster of three more to the right. Avoiding the trouble is doable with the right weapon selection.

The front nine closes with a 459-yard par-4 that all but guarantees a long iron in your hand

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 2017 | BUGLENEWSPAPERS.COM for your approach unless you are a monster off the tee.

This sloped green is guarded by a trio of bunkers – so hitting it in the bullseye is your best play.

A 418-yard par 4 opens the back nine, but this one offers hitters a chance to hit with a wide fairway and little trouble along the way.

A dogleg left is what is in store for you with the 416-yard par 4 11th.

There is room to carry the trees to the left and cut the corner a bit – but too far left brings a pond into play.

Did I just say water in play?

Number 12 has water up nearly the entire left side of the farirway on this 454-yard par 4, so staying right and hitting your shot where you need is key on the toughest hole on the back nine.

If you think you get relief with

a par-3 next – think again.

This 202-yarder requires some accuracy and club selection to fly the two bunkers flanking the fairway right in front of the green.

Fourteen is a par 4 and plays 396-yards. It is a pretty easy hole as long as you don’t let yourself get psyched out by the pond in front of the green.

The easiest ranked hole on the course is next in the form of a 479-yard par 5 that plays straight as an arrow. If you can avoid the creek in front of the green on your second shot (which I did not) this hole has birdie written all over it.

A 196-yard par 3 is next. Like all the other par 3s on the course, club selection is key – this time you want to club up one to make sure you carry the bunker to the right of the green.

Seventeen is a 451-yard par

4. Water comes into play off the tee, but after that getting to the green is not what you need to worry about. The multi-level green poses a challenge for even the most skilled putters.

Ending the round is another par 5, this one playing at 551 yards. The challenge on the tee is shot is simple – the best play is to dance with the pond on the left side of the fairway without getting wet.

There is a long approach shot to the green with water in front of the putting surface – accuracy and length are key.

So, you just finished your first round of the trip and it’s time to grab the clubs off the cart and head back to your room and get ready for the Silver course, right?

Not so fast.

If you are playing both days – your bags stay right on the cart and when you arrive the next day your clubs are cleaned and ready for you to enjoy another day at a beautiful course. But, don’t start the day off on the wrong foot – tip the workers for taking care of you and your clubs.

We will take a look at the Silver course in our next review.

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

First, get real job before starting business DEAR DAVE, I currently have student loans in deferment from earning a degree in hospitality management.

My career goal is to own a mobile food vending company, so I’m putting most of the money I make from eBay and ride-hailing services — around $1,000 a month — aside in savings for that. Should I forego my business idea for the time being, and knock out the student loan debt instead?

NICHOLAS DEAR NICHOLAS, You should put this business idea on hold for now, unless you can start it for less than $1,000.

The first thing you need to do is go out, and get a real job. I know you have this dream of being self-employed, but right now you’re not doing so well as an entrepreneur.

With a hospitality degree, you can make $30,000 to $50,000 a year within the industry, clean up your mess, and build out the eBay thing on the side. Just think about how quickly you could save up money for a jump into the food truck or mobile food business, then!

Pay your way through it, Nicholas. Don’t sit around scraping by on the kind of money you’re making now and call that winning.

You have a real economic engine at your fingertips, because you have the knowledge from the degree you earned. And it’s a valuable degree. If you go in there and

bust it, you can escalate yourself upward through that industry in a hurry.

While you’re doing that, you can clean up all your student loans and save up money for your food truck. Boom! You’re self-employed and you learned a lot of stuff you can use in your new business. Go make some real money, then follow your dream, man!
