Bicyclist injured by pickup on Route 83

By Jack Murray Regional News editor A 54-year-old Chicago man riding a bicycle was injured Sunday afternoon when he was struck by a pickup truck on Route 83 near La Grange Road, in unincorporated Palos Township, police said.

The bicyclist was ejected from the force of the crash that was reported at about 2:50 p.m., a

Cook County Sheriff’s Police spokesperson said Monday. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment for serious injuries, but his injuries did not appear to be life threatening, the spokesperson added.

A 2002 Dodge Ram traveling westbound on Route 83 struck the bicyclist about a half mile west of La Grange Road, police said.

Sheriff’s police blocked westbound traffic on Route 83 from

the crash scene, and directed traffic to exit onto La Grange Road.

Police said it appeared the truck was attempting to pass another vehicle using the roadway’s shoulder when it struck the bicycle.

The driver of the Dodge Ram, a 29-year-old man from Joliet, was cited with failure to reduce speed, improper lane change and operation of an uninsured motor vehicle, police said.

Palos Park PD charge man with felony identity theft

By Tim Hadac Staff Reporter Palos Park police charged Ricardo Rios, 28, of Oak Lawn, with one count of felony identity theft and a misdemeanor count of obstruction of justice after he allegedly tried to use another man’s identification to get his car released from impoundment at 4:54 p.m. Aug. 4.

The day before, police seized Rios’ car after pulling it over in the 11100 block of South La Grange Road. Police said they initially spotted the car near Wild Cherry Lane and La Grange Road, traveling at 52 mph, 17 mph over the posted limit.

Police impounded the car after Rios produced identification stating that he was a 28-year-old Chicago man with another name, according to the police report.

The following day at police headquarters, he produced a Mexican matricula card with his real name on it, and he claimed to be the brother of the auto’s owner, police said. A suspicious police official summoned the officer who had made the traffic stop the previous day. The officer

said he recognized Rios from the previous day and took him into custody.

While at the station, Rios admitted to purchasing fake identification in 2013 from “Johnny,” a man he had met at Six Flags Great America, police said. He reportedly told police that fake ID packages ranged in price from $500 to $5,000, with the most expensive including a Puerto Rican birth certificate, a Social Security card, a high school degree and a Puerto Rican police statement indicating no criminal record. He claimed they were allegedly obtained illegally obtained from a staff member in the Illinois Secretary State’s Office, police said.

Rios told police that he purchased the $2,000 package, which helped him obtain employment at a company in McCook, police said.

Police seized a forged birth certificate, Social Security card and other identification from Rios, police said.

Police also notified the Secretary of State’s Office of the situation.

Bond was set at $50,000, but Rios was released on his own recognizance, according to a spokes-

Mixed feelings for the 30-songs-in-30-minutes medley The Band 7th Heaven has been around 30 years, rocking fans from all over the Chicago area.

In their 30th year, the fellas have on their schedule everything from the lighting of Buckingham Fountain in Chicago to Cheese-A-Palooza in Kenosha.

I caught their act at Taste of Orland for the first time on Aug. 1 and during their first set, they played 30 songs in 30 minutes.

In recent years, it’s one of the tricks they have been known for.

There were snippets of tunes

by Billy Idol, Elton John, Pink Floyd, A-Ha, Hall and Oates, Tom Petty, John Mellancamp, Rush and many others. They closed it with a couple of Queen songs.

I liked it and hated it at the same time.

I liked it because the set flew by – it didn’t even feel like a half an hour. With the exception of the Rush song “Spirit of the Radio” morphing into an Eagles tune, the transitions of songs

IMPRESSIONS By Jeff Vorva

flowed nicely.

I liked it because if there was a song or two in the bunch I didn’t like, I didn’t have to listen to the whole tune and the next thing you know, another song is up.

Then I realized I hated liking it.

The old geezer in me thinks that this is a tool to placate the younger generation which has a pretty short attention span.

It was almost like allowing my kids the control of radio or iPods in the car – song change after song change after song change…

My daughter Lauren will usually latch onto a song, sing with it for about a minute and then move on. I am not sure these kids ever listened to a full song unless it was at a concert.

Not that I long for the days of Led Zeppelin’s “Moby Dick” (which is one drum solo that occasionally took up to almost 30 minutes when played live) but I hope in the future that 30 songs in 30 minutes will continue to be a novelty and not the norm.

Lolla-Paul-Looza Well, Paul McCartney played Lollapalooza on July 31 and didn’t take much of my input from my column in early April, suggesting his setlist.

I thought he should be as cutting edge as possible since this was supposed to be a cutting edge festival.

My set list was “Revolution,” “Back in the U.S.S.R.,” “Another Day,” “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey,” “Helter Skelter,” “I’m Down,” “Ballroom Dancing,”

“Transpiritual Stomp.” “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away,” “Rock Show,’’ “Live and Let Die, “Hi, Hi, Hi” and “I Saw Her Standing There” with an encore of “Hey Jude.’’

But nooooooo…

He waited until his 21st song into the night to take one of my suggestions when he played “Back in the U.S.S.R.” He closed the regular part of the show with “Hey Jude,’’ opened the encore with “Hi, Hi, Hi” and also had “Helter Skelter” in the encore.

He had some good songs in his 31-song set (why didn’t I think of “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”?) but played it pretty safe with hits such as “Magical Mystery Tour,” “Got to Get You into My Life,” “Blackbird,” “Lady Madonna,” “Eleanor Rigby,” “Something” and others.

Maybe next time he comes to an edgy fest, he should play more daring music and pick 30 of his hit songs and play them in 30 minutes.

Adam Blair Heisler of 7th Heaven performs one of 30 songs in 30 minutes that the band is known for.

Columnist Jeff Vorva is not sure if he likes that concept or not.

McSwain song: CR library director retiring after 28 years

By Kelly White Correspondent After 28 years, Chicago Ridge Library Director Kathleen McSwain is saying goodbye.

McSwain is retiring on Aug. 14 from the library, located at 10400 Oxford Avenue in Chicago Ridge and some members of the staff are sad to see her go.

“Kathy always encourages us to try new programs to encourage reading and community support,” Youth Services Director, Irene Ciciora, said.

“She is a kind, patient, and supportive director.”

It’s the second area library director in the Reporter coverage area to retire this summer. Green Hills Director Annette Armstrong retired in June after 18 years at the helm.

Thinking back on the 28 years of service, McSwain provided to the library and how much the library and she has changed, she admits it hurts to say goodbye.

“I will miss library staff members and the many friends I have made at the library over the past 28 years both young and old,” she said.

“There a few patrons who stop by weekly to say hello, ask what is new, and tell me about the great book they just read or something good about the library.”

McSwain’s three sons, Kevin, 26, Bryan, 24, and Sean 22, were all born while she was working at the library and now they are all college graduates.

“I was originally working

full time to afford the little extras for my family,” McSwain said, “My husband Patrick and I were involved in the St. Jude Hockey Club for many years while all three boys played ice hockey. Then we transitioned to high school and by me working full time we were able to send the boys to Providence Catholic High School, and then send them off to college.”

Prior to working at the Chicago Ridge Public Library, McSwain started working in the library world when she was 16 at the Oak Lawn Public Library as a library page, and then went on to work as a clerk in the Youth Services department.

After she received a master’s degree in Library Science, she was the children’s librarian at the Bedford Park Public Library.

The Chicago Ridge Public Library, however, holds a place in her heart for many reasons, but one especially is the way the library excels in customer service.

“We are small enough that we know our patrons and they know us,” she said. “There are so many great youth programs and if we start with young patrons and they use and love the library we create lifelong library users. Many of the patrons of the library today were young children in the library programs 28 years ago and now they are using the library with their children. That is probably one of the best rewards of the job.”

McSwain is also responsible for some improvements made to the library during

her career, including the 10,000-square foot addition, increasing the library building size from 7,987 to 18,000 square feet. She was also responsible for the property purchased across the street from the library where an additional parking lot was built.

“Kathy is a director who is dedicated to her job,” Ciciora said. “She is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that our library is the best.

She has gotten to know many community members over the past 28 years. She will be greatly missed by her staff, library trustees and the community. She is a library legacy and has made many great advancements for our library.”

The library also received a grant in 2007 for 16 sewing machines and has been known since as the Quilting Library, according to McSwain.

She also created the annual ice cream social in 1999 and it has continued throughout the years. This summer favorite brings together both young and old patrons.

“Although I am closing one chapter in my life with retirement, I am really excited about what lies ahead,” she said. “I am taking time for myself hoping to go for walks, ride my bike, read what I want to read, get back to playing golf with my girlfriends, work on some quilting projects and clean up my house.

I would like to thank Chicago Ridge for all the support that has been given to the library and not only for the library but also for myself. I will miss you.”

Midway expansion ready to take off

By Dermot Connolly Staff Reporter Recently announced plans for a $248 million expansion of Midway International Airport will mean speedier trips through the security lines, and a wider choice of concessions for local travelers using the airport on Chicago’s Southwest Side.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced the wide-ranging plans last Thursday, explaining that the project will take several years to complete. This is the largest investment made in the airport in nearly 10 years, The mayor said the project will include an expansion of the concession facilities, the terminal parking garage, and security checkpoints, addressing several concerns commonly raised by travelers.

“Midway is more than an airport. It is an important economic engine for the city of Chicago so with this modernization we are making an essential investment in the future of Midway but also the future of Chicago. This modernization allows and ensures that Midway will remain a world-class airport in a world-class city,” said the mayor at the airport.

“These enhancements will create jobs for Chicago’s residents, provide an improved experience for travelers from the garage to the gate, and ensure that our world-class city has two world-class airports.”

According to city officials, Midway generates approximately $7 billion in economic activity each year and 90,000 jobs for the region. Southwest Airlines is the biggest carrier at Midway, which serves 75 airports, including eight international locations. It is considered to be one of the fastest growing

airports in the United States.

The project, which will not expected to be completed until 2019, is slated to begin with the city issuing a request for proposal for a single-entity concessions operator in September.

Studies have found that travelers passing through Midway spend less on concessions than at other airports, and the stated aim of the improvements is to “enhance the experience for travelers, create good-paying jobs for residents and help achieve higher Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation goals.”

Following the issue of the RFP, bids would be received through mid-December, and evaluated in the first quarter of 2016. Then, if all goes according to plan, the proposal would be brought before the City Council in the second quarter of 2016.

Plans call for renovations to be made to concessions areas, stores, and restaurants, and shopping, dining, lounge facilities, spa services, and medical services will be added. Officials said the added 20,000 sq, ft, of concession space will feature iconic Chicago brands and concepts while providing opportunities for local businesses and residents.

Expanding Midway’s security checkpoint area, with the creation of a new 80,000 sq. ft. security hall, is expected to resolve the bottleneck that frequently occurs in the current security area, frustrating travelers. Plans are also in the works to widen the existing 60-pedestrian bridge over Cicero Avenue from 60 feet to 300 feet, which is also inclined to get congested.

“This is all about improving the customer experience at Midway. It is a lot more than adding concessions,” said Owen

Kilmer, Chicago Department of Aviation deputy commissioner for communications. He said the airport authorities will be working the Transportation Safety Administration to coordinate the improvements to the security area.

As for the terminal parking garage expansion, which Kilmer said is in the design phase, four levels and 1,400 parking spaces are expected to be added to the terminal garage. The added parking spaces are meant to —making it easier for travelers to get in and out of the airport.

“Obviously, we will not do anything to infringe on flight paths,” said Kilmer, when asked about the feasibility of height being added to the parking garage.

“It is still in the design phase, but levels can be added horizontally. That is most likely how it will happen,” he said, explaining that the parking garage will be built out rather than up.

Emanuel said at the press conference that the expansion project is expected to create 1,000 construction and 700 permanent concession jobs, as well as a 50 percent increase in concession space. Revenue generated by concessions is expected to double by 2019.

“Our proposal will make Midway Airport more efficient and more customer friendly for years to come,” Aviation Commissioner Ginger S. Evans said, whom Kilmer said realized the need for improvements as soon as she was named commissioner in May. “In order for our airports, and our city, to thrive we need to remain competitive— and that’s what this plan will achieve,” she said.

Fair or fowl? Palos Hills of¿cials re-examine animal laws

By Michael Gilbert Correspondent Palos Hills officials may revisit the city’s animal ordinance and prohibit the raising of chickens and roosters following one resident crying foul over another's noisy fowl.

Mayor Gerald Bennett told the City Council at the committee meeting Thursday that he recently received a phone call from a resident in the second ward complaining his neighbor’s chickens are too loud, bothering his dog and causing birds of prey to circle overhead.

Bennett said he believes Palos Hills’ animal ordinance limits the amount of chickens and roosters one can own on their property but was unsure the exact number. He added there are no lot size restrictions for a resident to own chickens and roosters. The city, for example, prohibits a resident from keeping a horse on a lot under one acre.

Bennett did not know the exact address of the home in question when asked by The Reporter after the meeting, but said the residence is located in a subdivision.

“This is something that has been brought up in the past and whether or not we need to think about getting out of animal raising in town,” Bennett said. “Obviously being in close quarters in a subdivision it can cause a nuisance and I get it, I understand.

“The resident [who called me] said he can’t let his dog out in the yard because it’s barking all the time, and that hawks are flying around – probably waiting for the chickens.”

Bennett asked the board to revisit the ordinance “ASAP” – possibly at the next committee meeting on Aug. 20.

“The ordinance is pretty broad,” Bennett said. “Everybody take a look at what is allowed and where it’s allowed as a revisit to that ordinance.”

Another option city officials may consider is prohibiting chickens and roosters on lots

Photo by Michael Gilbert Palos Hills Alderman Mary Ann Schultz is in favor of amending an ordinance to allow members of the Zoning Board of Appeals to give recommendations to the City Council after hearing variance requests. under a certain size, Bennett said.

“This is an isolated thing, but when it’s in close proximity – as it is now by law – to other homes I understand how it can effect someone,” Bennett said. “The City Council should consider allowing chickens and roosters only in those areas where the lots are larger.”

In other news…

Alderman Mary Ann Schultz (5th Ward) told Palos Hills officials she is in favor of amending an ordinance approved in 2010 that prohibits the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals from making recommendations to the City Council. Schultz said from 1968 to 2010 the ZBA was able to give a favorable or unfavorable review to the City Council after a public hearing regarding a variance

over 25 percent of one’s property. Requests under 25 percent are not heard by the City Council and instead approved or rejected by the ZBA. Palos Hills officials amended the ordinance in 2010 to have the ZBA refrain from rendering an opinion to the City Council. Palos Hills Attorney George Pappas said this was done to prevent possible legal action against the city.

“The reason why we took it out in 2010 was because if they made a recommendation and the City Council didn’t go along with that recommendation then there was the possibility of potential legal action because the City Council is not following the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals,” Pappas told the council.

Schultz said she was impressed by the seven-member ZBA after attending a meeting last month and would appreciate the board’s recommendation in the future. Members of the ZBA are appointed by Bennett and the meet as needed.

“Those people on the ZBA are so intelligent and so very thorough and I was so impressed,” Schultz said. “I would like to go back to the old way where they could make a recommendation.”

Schultz’s suggestion received vocal support from aldermen Marty Kleefisch (1st Ward), Pauline Stratton (2nd Ward) and Mike Lebarre (3rd Ward). No city official expressed concern reverting back to the old ordinance.

“My understanding is that when we had it the old way we had no problems with it,” Kleefisch said. “I feel the same way as Mary Ann. I would appreciate their recommendations because it would give me more background information upon which I can base my judgement.”

The council is expected to vote on amending the ordinance at an upcoming meeting.

(Continued from page 1) to cease and switch, Sharizi said he has not heard a peep about Big Chief.

“No one has ever protested,” he said. “We treat this statue with respect. We are not using him to sell anything.’’

Ithal, the one-man painting machine on this project, is a longtime Oak Lawn resident who is not really a painter by trade.

He is a carpet cleaner.

But he has enough painting chops to convince Sharizi he was the man for the job.

“He’s a customer of mine,” Sharizi said. “We talked. I told him I would pick the colors and I did a lot of research online.

The last painter (15 years ago) made it very basic. I didn’t like that. This is brighter and more colorful.’’

Ithal said he was happy to take on this project. He had some hot, but dry weather to work with last week and at one point on Friday, he stepped back and took a look at the work he had completed, smiled and said “It looks great.’’

All week people have been stopping by 9630 Southwest Highway, to talk with Ithal and Sharizi about the painting project. Many others honked horns, seemingly in approval of Ithal’s work.

“I been driving by this Indian for years and I always wanted to paint it,” Itha said. “I’ve done a few other things --- I like doing art, but I’ve never done anything this big.’’

Two men charged in OL armed robbery Two men were apprehended following an armed robbery that occurred about 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Walgreens store at 4740 W. 95th St. in Oak Lawn.

Just before the alert was broadcast about the robbery, an Oak Lawn police officer noticed a black Pontiac leave the parking lot onto Hilton Drive, violate a no left turn sign onto 95th Street, and head east at a high rate of speed. As the officer followed the vehicle a short distance, the alert was received from the 911 dispatch center regarding the robbery, and the vehicle was curbed.

The driver, Michael W. Coffelt, 49, of the 19500 block of Redwood Lane, Mokena, was arrested at the scene. But the passenger later identified as Dion L. Ware, 45, of

the 14500 block of South Green Street, Harvey, led police on a foot chase. Oak Lawn officers, along with a K-9 unit from Bridgeview ., began a search of the area.

Ware was tracked to an apartment building in the 4300 block of West 95th Street, where a resident told officers he had observed the subject run into an apartment there. Ware was taken into custody after being identified by a store employee as the subject who robbed the store.

Both men were charged with armed robbery, and taken to the Bridgeview Courthouse for a bond hearing. Ware was held on $150,000 bond while Coffelt was issued a $100,000 bond.

While the original bid from Gallagher Asphalt came in as the lowest bid at $328,976.50, Demonbreun said that the Village’s Public Works Department realized that there was work included in the specs

that his department was capable of handling.

Village Engineer, Mike Spolar negotiated with Gallagher Asphalt and the price was reduced to $279, 919, saving the village $49,360.50.

Also bidding on the project were D Construction, Crowley-Sheppard Asphalt and KFive Construction.

Making health happy in America

By Glenn Mollette Medical care is a lifelong necessity to a happy normal life.

Here are the solutions to solving the medical care crisis in our country.

Put the very poor and disabled on Medicaid. Essentially that is where they are now.

Allow those with preexisting conditions to buy into Medicare. If they are making just above the poverty rate then give them a financial break. Most people with a preexisting condition do not mind paying. They simply want some health insurance.

Next, allow the working people to have their insurance through their employers or buy insurance from any state in America. We need more competitive insurance carriers in the market.

The cost of prescription drugs is killing some Americans faster than their diseases. We commonly hear television stories about people going bankrupt because of cancer treatments. It’s time for us to Partner with Canada in an International prescription agreement. Our food and drug administration with Canada’s partnership could authorize safe drug houses for us to purchase our prescriptions. If you don’t mind traveling to Mexico you can already walk into their pharmacies and buy what you want. We need some type of North American Drug Deal that helps sick people buy medicine cost effectively and safely.

Emphasize and fund our county health clinics. Keep nurses on staff who can treat people with basic issues such as viruses and hand out birth control to women and men. Provide care for pregnant women by offering free ultrasounds. The health clinics must have access to our public schools. Representatives should be visiting the schools teaching prevention to at least all the elementary and junior high students.

One of the main solutions to solving the medical crisis in our country is teaching our children about good health habits at an early age. In simple terms children need to hear about what is good and what is bad to eat.

They need to hear about exercise, sleep, food portions and the importance of flossing and brushing their teeth. Warn them about the dangers of smoking and over drinking. And, it has to be more than just saying something is bad for you.

Show pictures of what a smoker’s lungs look like. Show pictures of what fat looks like in our bellies.

Obviously our children are not getting this information in their health classes. Our children are getting fatter and fatter and becoming very obese Americans. Thus, they are dealing with diabetes and heart issues at very young ages. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

We must press the health information on the minds of American people and make the care available and affordable.

If we live long enough we will all die from some health related issue. However, good medical care is an integral part of living a happy normal life.

Valuable bonding time has vanquished The with shrinking summer ine Grapevine There’s something sacred about summer vacation that we don’t respect today the way we did when we were kids.

If you haven’t figured out my logic from past columns, Baby Boomers are the smartest and best people in the world. It’s a fact. I’ll prove it some other time.

When we were kids, we had a real summer. And we could take summer vacations with our families. They helped us mold our character and gave us time to bond as a family.

They didn’t involve expensive vacations we couldn’t afford flying to an exotic beaches. The best vacations were when dad got us in our cars and we drove around the country on a road trip, collecting window stickers from the places we visited.

As dad drove, we sang, we talked, and we relaxed together. We even brought along the dog.

Today, I think the whole idea of summer has been destroyed, sacrificed to the

failure of our leaders to manage our budgets and the economy.

Part of it has to do with our schools.

I don’t want to get into the whole debate of how many days should students be in school, but vacations were a timing issue that had to do with being off of school.

Amazingly, many schools started this week in Illinois. It’s only the middle of August.

When I was a kid, we were off in mid-June and we didn’t return until Labor Day at the beginning of September. We had 10 weeks of vacation or 50 summer days, not including 15 other days for Easter/ spring break, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.

And when we didn’t go on a summer road trip, we hung around the house with our friends, without the pressures of homework or the distractions of computer.

Today, a lot of families are not really families at all.

They don’t want summer vacation, in-year holidays or days off. School is a daycare center. Working is a bigger challenge for parents, including those that are single.

It’s really a shame to see our children have to report in to school so early and miss the chance to build their friendships and bond with their families.

Vacations with the family are the things that build character. Your family vacations will stay with you for years as you age and your parents depart this world.

The best family bonding starts at the dinner table but is reinforced during family vacations.

I hate to see so many kids miss that.

America’s love of vacations was depicted in Hollywood’s Vacation movie series. It starred Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo as parents taking their kids, Rusty and Audrey, on vacations. They went across the country to Wally World, to Las Vegas,

to Europe and experienced Christmas vacations twice.

The new Vacation movie picks up with a grown Rusty wanting to do what his parents did, bond with the family.

Sadly, the hilarious new Vacation movie is filled with so many bad words, it was hard to enjoy.

Am I missing something in all this? Do understand what I’m trying to get at? We had a better lifestyle when I was younger and I am not sure why it has changed.

The world has gone to pot, families are falling apart, and we have less and less time to enjoy ourselves as families.

And all I can do is wonder why.

Letters to the Editor Let’s get ready for a productive school year Dear Editor: A school’s environment should not only be conducive to learning and safe but a welcome for the students and faculty to their home away from home. It took a lot of hard work to be ready for the first day of school. Thanks to all responsible. These new beginnings energize and excite us.

The criteria for a good education is academics but it must also meet the emo-

tional and personal needs of the students especially in today’s society. The office while maintaining its professionalism should also be empathic to the needs of the teaching staff. The school is a family unit working together towards one goal of academic and social skills. Keeping the lines of communication open can prevent misinformation which causes havoc .Intimidation and bullying are not allowed.

A kind word or a compliment goes a long way in establishing self-esteem.

I base my opinions on working with

seven principals and seven superintendents in my 24 years as a school secretary.

Each new person brought in new ideas and there were always periods of adjustment. In any event, the needs of the students were always met because we became a school family.

Be the best you can be. The rewards are many. Best wishes for a safe, fun, healthy and productive school year!

Thank you, Marlene Jeziorski Oak Lawn

Inside The First Amendment

Olympic ¿asco: Awarding Beijing rewards persecution

By Charles C. Haynes Last week, the International Olympic Committee awarded Beijing the 2022 Winter Games, demonstrating yet again that selection of a host city has everything to do with politics, money and power — and nothing whatsoever to do with human rights.

While Chinese government officials were celebrating the “Olympic spirit” in Beijing, it was religious persecution as usual in the rest of the country.

The same week of the Olympic announcement, Chinese Christians in Zhejiang — a province in eastern China — were frantically organizing a movement to push back against a government campaign to remove exterior crosses from their churches or, in some case, tear down the church itself.

Social media carried images of courageous Chinese Christians making crosses to wear and place on

their homes as a non-violent protest against government repression. Last year alone, at least 400 churches were demolished or had crosses forcibly removed, according to the 2015 Annual Report of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (www.uscirf.gov).

This week Chinese police detained seven church members in Zhejiang who have been resisting cross removal. They were charged with embezzlement and a variety of other apparently trumped up charges, including “instigating others to disrupt the social order.”

Christians, of course, are not the only targets of government persecution in China. Uighur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners and others face harassment, arrest, torture, and imprisonment by a government determined to control and repress people of faith.

Apologists for the Olympic selection

process made hopeful noises in 2001 when Beijing was chosen as the site for the 2008 Summer Games. Holding the Olympics in China, the argument went, will put the spotlight on human rights concerns and encourage the government to grant more religious freedom.

Instead, winning the Olympic bid in 2008 apparently inspired China’s totalitarian regime to move in the opposite direction by cracking down on religious groups with increasing brutality.

Tibetan Buddhist Goshul Lobsang, to cite just one of many examples, was imprisoned for helping to organize a peaceful protest in 2008. Last year, Lobsang died shortly after his release from prison where, according to the USCIRF report, he suffered “extreme malnourishment and brutal torture, such as regular injections and stabbings.”

As a reward for this abysmal hu-

man rights record, Beijing is now set to become the first city in modern Olympic history to host both the summer and winter Games.

To be fair, the IOC had limited choices in the contest for the 2022 games. Four democratic countries, including frontrunner Norway, withdrew from the competition — leaving the IOC to choose between China and Kazakhstan, another authoritarian regime that routinely violates religious freedom and other human rights.

The Olympics been become so costly, disruptive and unpopular that soon only totalitarian governments prepared to spend billions and repress dissent will be able to host the games.

One solution floating around the Internet would be to designate a permanent home for the Olympics — Greece being the obvious choice. But the allure of national self-aggrandizement, billion dollar media deals, and fancy VIP receptions is probably too

great to permit transformation of the current Olympic culture.

Dressing up totalitarianism in Olympic colors comes at a cost. Russia, it should be remembered, spent more than 50 billion dollars on the Sochi Winter Games in 2014 — a propaganda extravaganza that fooled no one outside Russia.

But the greater cost is to the Olympic spirit — and, indeed, the human spirit.

I enjoy the Winter Olympic Games as much as the next person. But unless China begins to take religious freedom seriously, I won’t be watching in 2022.

Little Company wins big award Little Company of Mary Hospital (LCMH) of Evergreen Park has received the American College of Cardiology’s NCDR Acute Coronary Treatment and Intervention Outcomes Network (ACTION) Registry–GWTG Silver Performance Achievement Award for 2015.

LCMH is one of the top 8.5 percent of hospitals nationally to be recognized for this quality achievement. The award recognizes LCMH’s commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of care for heart attack patients and signifies that LCMH has reached a goal of treating these patients beyond standard levels of care, as outlined by the American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association clinical guidelines and recommendations.

To receive the ACTION Reg-

istry–GWTG Silver Performance Achievement Award, LCMH consistently followed the treatment guidelines in the ACTION Registry–GWTG for four consecutive quarters in 2014 and exceeded the performance standard of 90 percent for specific performance measures, with an overall composite score of 95 percent.

“The implementation of these guidelines requires successful coordination of the cardiovascular team and emergency personnel and is a critical step in saving the lives and improving outcomes of heart attack patients,” said Thomas Quinn, M.D., director of cardiology and medical director of the heart failure clinic at LCMH. “It reflects the hard work and dedication of the staff members at LCMH who care for some of our most critical patients and their families.”

The Center for Disease Control estimates that over 700,000 Americans suffer a heart attack each year. A heart attack occurs when a blood clot in a coronary artery partially or completely blocks blood flow to the heart muscle. Treatment guidelines include administering aspirin upon arrival and discharge, timely restoration of blood flow to the blocked artery, smoking cessation counseling and cardiac rehabilitation, among others.

“This award is a proud achievement for LCMH,” said Cindy Deuser, R.N. and vice president of quality improvement at LCMH. “Our patients can be confident in knowing they will receive optimal and timely heart attack care from the moment they arrive at our door.”

SCHOOLS / COMMUNITY NEWS

Call them comeback kids Saint Xavier University alumni return to their alma mater Each academic year, students from Saint Xavier University graduate and leave memories of their time in school.

Most graduates find jobs, others look for new schools to receive higher degrees but some end up returning to their alma mater as faculty and staff members. The same can be said for Marvin Fourte, Brandon Swanson, Brian Bartelment, Rebekah Marshall, Laura Richardella, and Romana Amato.

Fourte, 22, graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and writing and philosophy minor. As a student, he was actively involved on campus – guitarist, jazz combo, and in both education and chess clubs.

Fourte was a Sigma Tau Delta national honor student and appointed by SXU President Christine Wiseman to give private campus tours to guests.

Now, Fourte is back at SXU as an administrative assistant for University Advancement.

“My goal is to be an effective member of the University Advancement staff and produce reliable and positive work,” said Fourte.

Swanson, 22, also graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication and business management minor. He was involved in SXU Council and

Student Senate. During his senior year, he contributed to SXU Alumni and Parent Relations’ first-ever Comics for Cougars, a now annual Homecoming event.

As an avid sports enthusiast, Swanson served as sports director of WXAV 88.3 FM, SXU’s student radio program. While working with WXAV, he announced the home and away games for basketball and football. In 2012, he received the Student Silverdome Award for “Best Live Game Sports Broadcast” by the Illinois Broadcaster’s Association. He now serves as assistant director for Alumni and Parent Relations.

“I am so passionate about my position here at SXU and I could not ask for a better group of people to work with who also want to make the university a better place for our amazing students,” said Swanson.

Bartelment, 26, graduated from SXU in December 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and writing minor.

While being a full-time student, Bartelment served as an intern for University Relations. This opportunity gave him a chance to build an impressive portfolio and resume. As a web marketing specialist for University Relations, he said he hopes to make SXU’s web pages and email marketing more engaging and user friendly.

Marshall, 29, graduated magna cum laude from SXU in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication. As a student, she worked closely with Jacqueline Battalora, professor of sociology, anthropology and criminal justice, on women’s rights activities. Marshall also participated in a yearlong campaign entitled, “She is Made,” which promoted healthy body images for women and removed the sexual implications of women and girls from advertisements. Now, Marshall works as a media project manager for University Relations.

“The people you encounter at SXU are truly passionate about teaching and being there for students and I am thrilled that I get to be a part of that,” said Marshall.

Richardella, 24, graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communication with concentrations in online communication, media production and journalism. As a student, she excelled academically with a 4.0 GPA, but also worked in conjunction with University Relations for her senior seminar project.

Additionally, Richardella worked as a clerical assistant for Community High School District 218. As marketing communication manager for University Relations, Richardella aspires to increase awareness of the opportunities available at SXU.

“As a student, you form a certain kind of relationship with faculty, staff and your peers,” said Richardella. “Once you become a staff member, your perception changes – it allows you to realize the effort that it takes to provide the opportunities and education you appreciated as a student.”

Amato, 26, graduated summa cum laude from SXU in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and writing minor. As a student, she was involved on campus – literary editor for OPUS, literary magazine; English tutor; and copy editor for the Xaverite, student newspaper. Amato was on the Dean’s list all four years and received an Excellence in Writing award for her creative writing skills. Amato has been working at SXU since she graduated but was recently promoted to director of web strategy for University Relations. During her five years of employment, she obtained her master’s in writing and publishing from DePaul University and graduated with honors in 2012.

“Our students are so passionate, motivated and full of big dreams; they study hard, bring thoughtful ideas and questions to class and support one another,” said Amato. “Ultimately, my goal is to help students transition smoothly from college to the Submitted photo professional world, especially in Romana Amato is one of six former SXU students who are regard to writing well on the job.” back working at the Chicago school.

CLampus eaders UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Several local students received degrees from the University of Iowa at the close of the spring 2015 semester.

The students include Evergreen Park resident sJohn Caraher who received a Bachelor of Arts in English, Michael Herbick who received a Bachelor of Arts in Health and Human Physiology, and Mary Kellogg who received a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing.

Emily Goddard of Oak Lawn received a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and a BA in French.

Palos Hills resident Edwardo Galvan received a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Mechanical Engineering and Kevin Sparks who received a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology along with a CER-Writing degree.

Daniel Brumbaugh of Worth received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies.

ST. MARY OF NOTRE DAME Emily Wren of Oak Lawn earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies from St. Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Ind.

he was drawn to Queen of Peace, locted at 7659 S. Linder Ave. in Burbank, because he has a strong attachment to the Sinsinawan Dominicans.

“My mother was a professor at Dominican University, and I basically grew up there. As a child, I roamed the campus, and the sisters got to be like second mothers, and aunts and grandmothers to me,” he explained.

“I have such profound respect for the Sinsinawan Dominicans.

This is an opportunity to continue their mission of scholarship and social justice, providing young women with a diverse learning environment and challenging curriculum.”

The new principal said Queen of Peace is differentiating itself by expanding its curriculum, particularly in the area of engineering.

A few years ago, the school began providing all students with laptop computers, giving them access to software such as AutoCAD, a drafting and design program.

The second year of implementing Project Lead the Way’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program is also about to start. To include the ongoing “Arts Without Borders” program, Art has also been added, making it STEAM. PLTW, a non-profit organization, provides “rigorous and innovative STEM education curricular programs used in middle and high schools across the United States,” according to information on the Queen of Peace website.

In “Arts Without Borders,” students participate in cultural and fine arts experiences offered throughout the Chicago area. They are exposed to dif-

ferent disciplines, and work on quarterly project incorporating all departments and technology.

Belkaoui said PLTW students get hands-on experience, with many participating in robotics teams that compete against other schools.

“We want these young women to be able to get scholarships and make use of the opportunities, going on to universities and high-paying careers using these technology skills,” he said.

Queen of Peace added two engineering electives, supplementing the traditional math and science classes this year. Belkaoui said the school focuses on integrating the STEAM courses throughout the curriculum.

The new principal’s work experience is as diverse as the curriculum he oversees. He began his career in 2004, teaching at Morton West High School, and then Providence St. Mel, a private K-12 school in Chicago where 100 percent of seniors usually attend four-year colleges and universities. From there, he was tapped to become a dean at Providence Englewood Charter School, also in Chicago.

He and his wife, Heidy, then spent two years in Cambodia, where he was principal of the Jay Pritzker Academy in Siem Reap.

Most recently, he was director of Young Scholars Kenderton, a school in North Philadelphia, Pa. As opening day approaches, he has been busy ensuring everything is in order. “I am looking forward to the year, meeting the students and seeing them take advantage of these opportunities.

That is what I am excited about,” he said.

Stanley cup (Continued from page 1) should be aware of parking restrictions throughout Alsip. No one is allowed on the premises and the parking lots will be closed until 7 am.

According to school officials, the time that the cup will be at the school is limited and a large crowd is expected. Marist hopes to have as many people see the cup as possible, however, the school cannot guarantee everyone in line will be able to see the cup. Those who do not see the cup will not be charged.

From there, he said, the Cup will proceed to Standard Bank Stadium, where it will be on display from about noon to 2 p.m. at the home of the Windy City Thunderbolts baseball team, 14011 S. Kenton Ave., in Crestwood.

T-Bolts officials said there will also be a $10 fee, cash only, today.

Photos will be taken by Quality Plus Photos in Worth.

In the evening, following a private party in the afternoon,

the cup will spend a few hours at 115 Bourbon Street, the restaurant and entertainment complex at 3359 W. 115th Street in Merrionette Park. That venue is a favorite place to watch Blackhawks games for many hockey fans, especially during the playoffs. Following a private party there for family and friends from 6 to 9 p.m., patrons will be invited in to see the Cup from 9 to 11 p.m.

Gapski said that although a fee, usually $10 is charged to people who want to get a photo with the cup, the money is donated to good causes.

“Any funds generated goes to charity,” he said. “It is a way of raising money for non-profit organizations. That is what it is for.”

Gapski said that with the last two Stanley Cup championships appearances, in 2010 and 2013 raised a lot of money for organizations like Special Olympics and Make-a-Wish Foundation.

SUDOKU Solution

August is What-Will-Be-YourLegacy month.

If you knew this, you have an unusual knowledge of obscure celebrations.

But even if you weren’t aware of this “month,” you can see that the idea behind it — the importance of leaving a legacy — is an important one. What should you do to help ensure you’ll leave the type of legacy you desire?

To begin with, identify those people whom you’d like to directly benefit from your legacy. What can you leave behind to your children, grandchildren, other family members or even close friends? Then, think about those charitable organizations you support — can you leave something behind to them?

Once you have decided what your legacy should look like, you can take steps to implement your ideas. Here are a few suggestions: • Draw up your will. A will is probably the most essential legacy-related document. Essentially, you need a will to ensure that your assets and personal belongings will be distributed according to your wishes. If you die intestate (without a will), your belongings will be distributed to your “heirs” as defined by state laws — and these distribu-

or physically incapacitated for a while. If this were to happen, you’ll want your family to be able to act on your behalf with regard to financial and health care decisions. To grant your loved ones this power, you may want to create a power of attorney and a health care directive.

• Communicate your wishes.

You need to communicate to your loved ones the actions you have taken regarding your will, living trust and other estateplanning documents. By explaining your wishes in advance, you may be able to help your family members avoid disputes and unpleasant surprises — and that lack of “drama” can also be a key part of your legacy.

What Will Be Your Legacy Month will come and go. But by definition, your legacy will last beyond your lifetime — so make it a good one.

CROSSWORD Answers

tions may not be at all what you had in mind.

• Consider a living trust.

Depending on your situation, you may need to go further than a will when creating the estate plans that help define your legacy. For example, you might want to create a living trust, which can allow your assets to go directly to your heirs, avoiding the public, time-consuming and potentially expensive process of probate. A living trust offers other benefits, too, so you may want to consult with a legal professional to learn more about this estate-planning tool.

• Plan for your charitable gifts. To leave the legacy you have envisioned, you might want to do more than provide your loved ones with needed financial resources — you may also want to provide lasting support to those charitable or educational organizations whose work you admire. Toward this end, you might want to consult with your tax and legal advisors about charitable gifting strategies that can provide tax benefits, both now and in the future.

• Give your family the power to act on your behalf. Like everyone else, you want to be in charge of your own destiny.

WHATIZIT?

Last week. a ton of folks used their noodles and guessed that last week’s photo was of a strainer or colander.

Some didn’t appreciate the “Constipation Blues� clue (the ultimate strainer I would say) but it made us laugh and that’s all that matters.

Dan and Kathy Higgins of Chicago Ridge didn’t strain to come up with the right answer as the dangerous tag team was first to come up with it.

Other stars were able to nail it were Oak Lawn’s Steve Rosenbaum, Dan and Laura Heneghan, Debbie and Jon Gruver and Mike Sutko, Hickory Hills’ Griffin and Jack Faddis, Worth’s Theresa and George Rebersky, E.J. Oahueke, Elizabeth Hardin, Celeste Cameron, Linda and Dan Martin, Gene Lakinkski, Jerry and Carol Janicki and Gene Sikora, The best chef list also includes Palos Heights’ Crystine Busch and Chris Sarlas, Chicago Ridge’s Chris and Rick Towner, Patty Vandenberg and Dana Oswald, Palos Hills’ Linda Pinto, Evergreen Park’s Rich Rahn and Henrietta Mysliwiec and a man who identified himself as Captain Morgan, who wondered aloud how we got into his cabinet to take the photo.

This week’s clue: Something to use after you turn 18.

Send those guesses to thereporter@comcast.net with Whatizit in the subject line. Don’t forget your name and hometown.

Aug. 13: The Chicago Ridge Public Library is hosting local author, D. Bryant Simmons from 7 to 8 p.m. Patrons Meet D. Bryant Simmons, award-winning author and Chicago Ridge who is also the publishing force behind Bravebird Books. As a writer, her focus is on realistic fiction that straddles the line between art and social commentary. She is currently hard at work on the Morrow Girls Series, a family saga that spans three generations of women. In January of 2014 her first novel, “How to Knock a Bravebird from Her Perch,� was released and won a gold medal in the 2014 IPPY Awards. “How to Knock a Bravebird from Her Perch� and the new second book in the series, “Blue Sky,� will be available for $15 for signing.

Aug. 17: “Life in a Japanese Internment Camp will be discussed from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Chicago Ridge Public Library. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, all Japanese Americans living on the West Coast were forced from their homes and into relocation camps in remote areas of the country.

Among the more than 120,000 Japanese Americans who were incarcerated, more than twothirds were American-born, many of them were children. Presented by librarian and historian Sarah Okner, a descendant of internees, this multimedia presentation explores daily life in an internment camp and the profound effects it had on those living there. Registration is needed for this free program.

Aug. 20: The program, The Ombudsman Project for Seniors and People with Disabilities, will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Chicago Ridge Public Library.

Eileen McFarland of the Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago will discuss the Ombudsman Project. The LongTerm Care Ombudsman Project advocates for senior citizens and people with disabilities who live in long-term care facilities. The Home and Community Ombudsman Project provides the same services to people in these groups who choose to live at home, rather than entering long-term care.

Aug. 27: Patrons can learn intermediate computer basics from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Chicago Ridge Public Library. Participants will learn how to save files to a flash drive, change desktop backgrounds, copy and paste, save images from the web and organize files and folders.

Aug. 31: The Chicago Ridge Public Library, 10400 S. Oxford, is hosting, Clean Up Your Inbox, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This program is for those who can’t stay on top of important matters because their inbox is filled with hundreds, or thousands, of emails.

The class will provide time to sign into email and get started. Registration is needed for this free program.

OAK LAWN The Oak Lawn Public Library is located at 9427 S. Raymond Ave. For more information, call 422-4990, or visit olpl.org.

Aug. 17: Registration begins Monday for The Oak Lawn Community Library Foundation and the Oak Lawn Public Library Local History Unit program that invites patrons to “show and tell� event featuring their own Oak Lawn story and personal artifacts about Oak Lawn Saturday, Sept.19 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Potential items can include anything that is easily transportable, safe and appropriate for all ages.

Maybe you still have your high school ID, a youth football trophy, grandma’s favorite quilt or your band’s demo tape. Each participant will have a few minutes to describe their artifact, share the item’s meaning and explain how it relates to their history in the Village of Oak Lawn.

Participants will speak in the order of registration. Interested speakers must register in advance; however, all are welcome to attend the program. Since this is an after-hours event, please park and enter on the Cook Avenue side of the library. Light refreshments will be served, and the newly renovated Local History Room will be open.

This church gives me joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart Many churches have left a need unmet for those of us who have children with disabilities. “I’m not leaving my church!�

I thought to myself as my social worker, Jane Schmit, suggested I visit First Church of God in Oak Lawn, at 4600 W. 111th Street.

Jane was just trying to help after I expressed my frustrations over not being able to take Rhonda-Rene, who has special needs, to church. My husband Don and I have tried everything short of a dog and pony show to keep her still and quiet. Her disruptions left me so embarrassed; I’d break into a cold sweat.

Our remedy for the past two years has been to leave her home with a respite care provider. However, as of July 1, respite was suspended due to the Illinois state budget crisis leaving us unable to go at all.

Leaving Rhonda-Rene home never sat well with Don anyway. “It’s not right to exclude her from the family like this! You and Donae go. I’ll stay with RhondaRene.� He’d say.

So, off to church I’d go, oftentimes alone.

How could a Sunday morning worship service be the cause of division for a faith-filled family?

We decided to take Jane’s suggestion.

Dan and Nadia Marler of Oak Lawn have been pastoring First Church of God for 22 years. Dan said he actually grew up in the church. He and Nadia have been married 30 years and have two children, Rachel (26) and Taylor (24). “Our kids were raised in this church as well,� said Dan. There are about 300 members divided among two Sunday services and in each, there’s a visible presence of various ethnicities of people with different needs. And, to our delight, we found them to be very inclusive of those with special needs. “Our mission is to help hurting people.� Dan said, “We try to be a place of accepting anyone that’s hurting.�

Perhaps their hearts are full of compassion for those hurting due to their own pain. “I was DES exposed. It’s caused lots of medical problems throughout my life.� Nadia said, “I was told I couldn’t conceive.

Rachel was a surprise, a miracle to us. I had a full term baby, whom, at first, seemed healthy.�

DES was the first synthetic form of estrogen. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, those exposed to DES are associated with reproductive complications as well as increased risk of certain cancers.

Dan and Nadia explained, as Rachel began developing, they noticed she was delayed. “People don’t realize how hurtful their curious inquiries are,� said Dan. “I had become so uncomfortable with their line of questioning I stopped wanting to respond.�

Rachel was almost nine when she was diagnosed with Smith– Magenis Syndrome (SMS), a developmental disorder that affects many parts of the body. The major features of this condition include mild to moderate intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, sleep disturbances, and behavioral problems. Each person with SMS is affected differently,

with Rachael it’s also manifested grand mal seizures, that are being controlled by medication.

The first time I met Nadia, I was dropping off Rhonda-Rene in their children’s ministry.

I was a little nervous about leaving her because we’d only left her in a church ministry twice in her four years of life.

The first time it went well. The second time, not so much! “She has special needs. She may have trouble staying seated and she’s unable to speak. Is this going to be a problem?� I asked.

Nadia smiled. “Not at all!� she said. I was shocked Don and I were able to sit through a service together, uninterrupted and still had a happy child upon retrieving her.

Was it beginners luck?

We decided to go back, several times, and by golly, they’re consistent! It wasn’t just Nadia with the special touch either. Andrea Rodman of Gary, Indiana, is the children’s ministry director. “Andrea loves children,� Nadia said. “She has five of her own.

It’s her and our volunteers that keep our youth programs going.�

I could tell when I met Andrea that, that was true. She told me, “Rhonda-Rene is fine. We’ve got her. Don’t worry.�

I almost cried. I do worry. I don’t want her to be a burden to others.

Dan’s sentiments were, “We don’t have a special needs children’s ministry, we have a children’s ministry. We want all children and all people to feel accepted and welcome to worship with us.�

Don and I are enjoying worshipping at First Church of God. We’ve been members of our own church for nearly 20 years.

However, for the sake of our family staying together, perhaps, with prayer, we may consider changing.

From left, Andrea Rodman, Pastor Dan Marler, Nadia Marler and Rachael Marler have accepted the Parker family into their church even though Rhonda-Rene Parker has special needs.

I hadn’t thought of how Rhonda-Rene felt about going to church before. I just wanted a place to take her where she wouldn’t feel rejected.

But after visiting First Church of God again this past Wednesday for Bible study I got a sense she liked to worship. Nadia said, “She was really humming and singing along with ‘Down in My Heart’ she even continued long after we finished.�

Sure enough, Rhonda-Rene, in her own word approximations, sang, “Joy, joy, joy, joy, down in

my heart,� the entire car ride home.

Nadia had me in tears. She told me, “God has a heart for all kids. Keep bringing RhondaRene to church. God has a purpose for her too.�

Meltdown (Continued from page 1)

Few of us have been or ever will be farmers.

Other than visiting a farmer’s market or listening to the Beach Boys singing about the appeal of Midwest farmers’ daughters, city and suburban folk are pretty clueless about life in the country. But even without thinking about it, urbanites have managed to learn the truth of a long-held farming axiom and see that it applies elsewhere: You reap what you sow.

If seeds are planted and then neglected, no farmer can expect to harvest anything worthwhile. And along those same lines, if people are treated in a particular manner, we mustn’t think they will suddenly grow into something vastly different.

While there has been a substantial amount of debate about class divisions within society, most of us can probably agree on one thing: Public ¿gures are a privileged class.

Maybe it’s their talent or their wealth or their reputation, or maybe it’s just our constant exposure to them and their exploits that creates the situation. There’s no question, however, that the masses tend to fawn over most well-known individuals.

And the most celebrated of the celebrities are those who entertain us in some way. Check any most-admired list, especially if compiled by younger people, and you’re certain to ¿nd a plethora of actors, singers and jocks on it.

Since this column is usually reserved for only the last of that trio, we’ll keep the spotlight focused on them — which is where the sportsmen like it when their praises are being sung. But because we’ve spent years marveling at their athletic skills — in some instances ¿rst noticing it while they were still children — we’ve given them an inÀated sense of self-importance.

I guess that, plus the seven- and eight-¿gure salaries earned by professional jocks, would be enough to turn most heads. And although we may complain about how it’s almost impossible for the average fan to take his family to a live event unless each member of the party pays for him or herself, we still feed the beast because we simply can’t let our favorite team become less competitive.

So the cycle carries on thanks to this tacit approval — as fans continue to ¿nancially support them, franchises keep spending and players get to maintain lavish lifestyles. And by extension those athletes have no reason to think they are on any kind of behavioral leash.

If they do something stupid, there won’t be any serious repercussions. Oh, some sort of peanut-sized ¿ne might be assessed, but that amounts to less than the tip an athlete hands the valet who parks his luxury vehicle at the swanky nightspot.

The wrongdoing player’s roster spot won’t be jeopardized, however. If his union doesn’t see to that, demanding fans will. Only hated opponents have miscreants in their midst; the team we cheer for merely has victims of poor choices.

Given that climate, I must confess to being stunned at the San Francisco 49ers’ decision last week to sever ties with lineman Aldon Smith. An undeniably talented athlete, Smith certainly could have helped a Niners defense ravaged by offseason retirements and defections — assuming he played regularly.

Based on 2014, that was a leap-of-faith assumption.

Smith was suspended last year by the NFL for nine games due to detrimental conduct, which included driving under the inÀuence. It was his second bout of trouble since joining the team.

The 49ers stuck with him, though, in part because he can be a difference-maker on the ¿eld. But staying there apparently didn’t make a difference to Smith because he got in hot water again with yet another DUI. This time, Niners management pulled the plug and allowed Smith’s career with them to circle down the drain.

Three strikes and Smith was ¿nally out of a job, but rest assured someone else will take a chance on him soon enough, believing he can be rehabilitated once and for all.

But for that to happen, Smith would ¿rst have to take responsibility for his actions, something 49ers general manager Trent Baalke told news reporters didn’t occur in this most recent incident. And Smith isn’t the only sports ¿gure who’s ever tried to avoid culpability.

Funny, isn’t it, how so many grown men ¿nd it dif¿cult it to man up when they should.

But why should we expect them to do so? After all, we’re the ones who ¿rst promoted the idea that certain people are special simply because they can throw, hit, shoot or catch a ball better than most of the population. Then we reinforce it by demonstrating an almost-slavish devotion to what they do and attaching deeper importance to it than it deserves.

I’m as guilty of the sports-loving part of that description as anyone else, but I long ago ceased being entranced by the individuals who play and coach the games. Sure, I’ve had favorites too, but over time I’ve learned to draw a demarcation line between what we see and who they are because the two frequently don’t function as one.

On-¿eld skills don’t override off-the-¿eld screw-ups — or at least they shouldn’t. Assigning hero status to athletes and entertainers is terribly misguided, though some certainly possess admirable traits. Of course, those same traits would be just as admirable if exhibited by a sanitation worker, hair stylist or school crossing guard, but we’re not as likely to notice them because we’re not paying close attention.

No amount of commentary, however, is going to change our ways. We’ve signed on as sports fans for better or worse, and stories like the latest one with Smith and ones involving Ray Rice, Greg Hardy and countless others merely represent part of the worst.

And when our favorite team signs one of the troublemakers, we suddenly don’t detest him so much. That might change if he fails to come through in a crunch-time situation, but we have an in¿nite amount of patience when it comes to anyone who makes — or keeps — our team a contender.

But if there’s another slipup, don’t get mad at the individual who made it. After all, he’s simply traveling down a path we laid out for him years before at the initial sign of his athletic ability, so he expects to receive plenty of doover opportunities.

Yep, we certainly are reaping what we sowed.

Tennis anyone?

Stagg football players use tennis balls to practice a hand-eye-coordination drill Monday.

For the second straight year, the top three male and top three female ¿nishers in the expert race all received a cash prize.

This was the ¿rst year, however, with equal prize money awarded to each gender.

First place was worth $150, second place took home $100 and third place earned $75.

Golf and soccer offer more

prize money to men than women. Tennis provides equal purses to both genders, and CAMBr felt it should follow that sport’s lead.

“Most races have more men racers than women racers,” Stoeckigt said. “The men contribute more money to the event so their purses are higher. But we looked at it and didn’t really want to do that, so we took it and balanced it and made the same size purse for everyone.”
