National title is a real reflection of new studio

By Kelly White Correspondent An Oak Lawn group danced its way into a national championship and it didn’t need smoke and mirrors to do it.

But it needed some mirrors. Adrenaline Dance Company attended Starbound National Talent Competition’s Nationals in St. Charles on July 24 where it placed first overall in the 17-19 year old age division.

This national championship was aided by the looking glass, according to Jeff Orluck, owner, creator and choreographer of Adrenaline Dance Company.

The team has practiced in the past without any mirrors, putting the group at a disadvantage.

However, this season, the group was able to rent out a facility within the Oak Lawn Park District in a mirror-filled studio.

“It was a luxury to be able to get into the park district’s multi-purpose room and use the mirrors,” Orluck said. “Mirrors allow dancers to see their timing as a team, and actually see the mistakes they make. Everyone we competed against was a typical studio dancer, meaning they have one location, dance flooring, ballet barres and mirrors. We had just tile floor and myself to clean the routines that rocked the stage at nationals.”

Rocking the stage were seven dancers from the area -- Gianna Agozzino, Caitlin Keller, Katie McGee, Alexis Nowak, Myah Singelton, Lily O’Rahilly and Gracy O’Rahilly.

“I love to compete and showing the judges how much talent Adrenaline Dance Company possess,” Agozzino, 17 of Hickory Hills, said. “The fact that we put our opinion into the choreography is completely different from what I am used

Former Evergreen Park resident Billy Pierce died Friday at age 88. Pierce’s number was retired in 1987 (inset).

‘Unbelievably pleasant’

Former Sox pitcher and EP resident Pierce fondly remembered

There are so many people who remember White Sox pitching legend Billy Pierce as a “great guy.’’

After he retired from baseball in 1964, the former longtime Evergreen Park resident became an ambassador for baseball and the White Sox. He showed up at so many functions and seemingly always had a smile and nice things to say to everyone he met at these affairs.

It’s better at

Let’s face it, it’s easy to be a “great guy” at some Hot Stove league events or banquets in which everyone is having a good time and talking about the sport they love. But if they can still be that nice on days when most men want to punch a wall or kick the dog…

Pierce died on Friday in Palos Heights and later that day, Oak Lawn’s Ed McElroy, who was a radio announcer in the 1950s when Pierce and the “GoGo” White Sox were hugely popular in Chicago, remem-

bered a time when the lefthander had a chance to be anything but a great guy.

“The Sunday before the Sox were trying to win the pennant (in 1959) he pitched and got knocked all over the place,” McElroy said. ‘’I got a call at 10 that night about a kid who was so sick, they didn’t think he would live until Christmas and wondered if there was something we could do for him.

“I called Billy at 10:15.

POLICE & COMMUNITY NEWS

Palos Meltdown mountain bike race set for Sunday in the woods The Chicago Area Mountain Bikers will host the ninth annual REI Palos Meltdown Mountain Bike Race at 9 a.m. Sunday at the Palos Forest Preserve in unincorporated Cook County near Willow Springs.

The first race of the day begins at 9:15 a.m., for juniors and ‘first timers.’ The Stone House Trail dedication and official grand opening with Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle will be at 10 a.m.

The children’s race will be at 1:30 p.m. with the final race of the day for the pro end expert fields beginning at 2 p.m.

The event is held at Pulaski Woods, Palos Forest Preserve, near the intersection of 95th Street and Archer Avenue in Willow Springs. Take 95th Street to Wolf Road and go south on Wolf Road.

The Palos Meltdown is the largest mountain bike race in the state. More than 600 racers competed last year in the Palos Meltdown race. “The ninth annual REI Palos Meltdown is Illinois’ largest mountain bike

race and is the largest fundraiser for the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers,” CAMBr executive director Jerry Stoeckigt said. CAMBr volunteers build and maintains the single-track trails in the Palos Forest Preserves.

The top finishers in both the men’s and women’s expert races will be awarded $650.

The race course utilizes the single track of the Cook County Forest Preserves near Willow Springs and will include roots, rocks, ravines and other challenges.

This year’s course will incorporate new trails that volunteers have spent countless hours building this spring and summer. “This year, Cook County board president Toni Preckwinkle will be the honorary course marshal and will officially open the new Stonehouse Trail,” Stoeckigt said.

Racing will occur all day, with the first timers and juniors races beginning at 9:15 a.m. and the pro, expert and comp races being the final competitions of the day and beginning at 2 p.m. Race distances will range from approximately five

miles for the first timer racers to approximately 30 miles for the men’s pro and expert fields.

Racers will pass through the start/finish area, at Pulaski West picnic grove, several times allowing spectators to cheer, motivate and/or heckle racers. The event will also have a free children’s race and booths with information from race sponsors and local groups.

The Palos Meltdown is organized by the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers – South Chapter, the all-volunteer organization which builds and maintains the nearly 20 miles of single track mountainbike trails at the Palos Forest Preserve. The organization, originally called TURF, has been in existence for more than 20 years.

The annual Palos Meltdown is a fundraiser for the not-for-profit organization, as well as a way to show off what many deem to be the best single-track in the Chicagoland area.

Tough and tender –

3

Bouchard’s award brings out two sides of local legend Kirsten Bain had to wipe away tears from her eyes last Thursday afternoon after she accepted an honorary award for her late grandmother, Pat Bouchard.

Crisis Center Board President David Anders presented the award to Bain at a rededication ceremony and the tears flowed.

“I was really close with her, she spoiled us rotten,’’ Bain said.

A handful of family members – including daughters Tricia Bouchard Case and Bobbie Bain – were there and shared happy memories of mom and grandma with me.

I was a bit surprised to hear of this genuine emotion from them.

There are some people in this area who remember Pat as being tough and opinionated. One person I talked to a few years ago referred to her as the b-word and said it admiringly.

But, yes behind all that tough guy exterior, Genevieve “Pat” Bouchard was a mother and grandmother and had her kind and tender moments that not everyone got to see. At one time she was a newspaper columnist for the Reporter and Regional and even bucked up against two others in a race for Worth mayor in 1981.

Two summers ago Bouchard died. Before my boss at the Regional News, Jack Murray, had me write her obituary, I had no idea who she was.

When I found out that one of the many things in her full life was that she was a columnist for our papers, I thought that was a good starting point.

I figured I would crack open some old yellowed papers that her work would appear in and was ready to be underwhelmed.

See, I made the mistake of lumping Bouchard with the many columnists on weekly papers who write about their town’s garden

club and little Billy turning 10 and having four friends over to the house. I have nothing against those columns and the garden club members and little Billy are thrilled to see their news in the paper. That’s what we’re here for – to try to serve as many people as we can.

But the scope of such a column is pretty narrow and those outside that town or little Billy’s house may not give it a second glance.

So, I was all set to read Pat and…well…she had a sharp wicked edge to her. And funny?

Look, I know some of my columns are “out there” when I talk about Julie Andrews’ breasts and exposing the dark side of June Cleaver. But this Bouchard…she wasn’t writing about the garden club or little Billy. She was writing about the Nazi club and little Adolph.

In a Sept. 4, 1986 column she had me laughing out loud.

She highlighted an item about 92-year-old Rudolph Hess — Adolph Hitler’s right-hand man — being denied televised news and political debates in prison.

“I think Hess should be exposed to the blatherings of world politicians and to the other realities that are carried into our homes by the nightly newscasts,” she wrote. “Why should a Nazi suffer less than the rest of us?”

OK, that hooked me.

She also had the wisdom to

let great quotes make her point if she couldn’t do it herself.

In another column, she found a news bit about a Rhode Island researcher who claimed that more people are likely to strike their kids than smack their dogs.

So she talked to a friend who had raised five teenagers and it was not exactly politically correct.

“Sounds reasonable to me,” the unnamed friend was quoted as saying. “My dog never snitched my pantyhose or makeup, he never told my family secrets to my in-laws, never borrowed the car and got a ticket…

“There is just no temptation to hit a loving beast who accepts you as you are … however when your darling blond daughter shows up with pink and blue hair or your son sneaks a beer out of the refrigerator … well, that’s another story.”

Priceless. Just priceless.

I wanted to read more of her and I checked out a handful of columns before I realized I better stop because Mr. Murray’s deadline for the obit was fast approaching.

But before I was done, I found a column from Sept. 25, 1988 in which she started the piece: “‘Never lower Tillie’s pants.

Mother might come home. Now that I have your attention, permit me to assure you that this column is not about the sexual adventures of Tillie or any other frisky lass.”

That column was about memory improvement, by the way.

I heard she would lock horns with everyone in the office about a variety of subjects so I know she could be a spitfire and if I worked with her back in the day, I would probably have gotten into a battle royal or two with her.

So, now I have painted you a

But there was another side to her.

Her many years of volunteering at the Crisis Center, which started in Palos Park and is now based in Tinley Park, showed her heart was in the right place in helping to keep this shelter for abused women and kids alive for decades.

“She devoted a lot of years

The facility went through a major facelift in the last year with improvements in just about all the living and work areas. One of the newly renovated bedrooms at the facility will be named for Pat. “She would like this honor,” Bobbie said. “On the surface she might not say it, but deep down she would like it.”

‘Full steam ahead’ for Plaza’s destruction

Other business The board approved a renewal and extension of leases for the SBC cellular tower at 8900 S. California Ave. According to the agreement, the village receives $20,000 as a signing bonus and will receive a 4 percent increase in rent each year.

Village Engineer Timothy H. Klass presented information on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Storm Water Phase II Final Rule. “I am making this public announcement to help the IEPA meet their goal on this important initiative.”

He said that booklets and pamphlets are available to the public at the Village Hall and the Water Management office regarding the storm sewers in the village. He said there are two areas of concern and the public needs to be made aware; soil and erosion control and illicit discharges, such as motor oil, going into the sewers.

“Anything in the storm sewers goes into the streams and creeks and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD),” he said. He urged residents to pick up the informational material.

Also approved was a request from Michael Harte to add an outdoor beer garden area to Harte’s Bar at 9850 Artesian Avenue.

Mayor Sexton warned him, however, that “common sense” should be used regarding the hours of operation. “If we get one complaint from the neighbors, that will be the end of it,” he said.

Sexton said that the board would be conferring with the village attorney for regulations regarding hours for all outdoor restaurant areas in the village.

Also approved was a request from Police Chief Michael Saunders to sell a 2011 Ford Expedition, “as is” for $15,700.

Trustee Mary Keane was absent due to illness.

Evergreen Park moved yet another step closer Tuesday to seeing a change in the landscape at 95th Street and Western Avenue, site of the former Evergreen Plaza, after the village board approved a Class 8 incentive classification for the property.

Mayor James Sexton said that the developers, DeBartolo Development and Lormax Stern Development, will be paying a little lower real estate taxes while they are getting work started on the planned redevelopment of the property.

Village Attorney Vince Cainkar said that Cook County offers the Class 8 incentive to encourage commercial development in areas of the county which are experiencing severe economic stagnation.

CR mayor to help oversee Chicago Ridge shaved ice $1.7 billion highway project business no longer on ice

By Dermot Connolly Staff Reporter

By Dermot Connolly Staff Reporter

Chicago Ridge Mayor Chuck Tokar has been selected to serve on the newly formed Central Tri-State Tollway (Interstate 294) Corridor Planning Council, which will have a voice in a $1.7 billion reconstruction project for the section of I-294 between 95th Street in Oak Lawn and Balmoral Avenue in Rosemont.

Justice Mayor Kris Wasowicz was also named on July 23 to the 33-member advisory board, which is scheduled to meet for the first time at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 14, in Room 219 of Illinois Tollway headquarters, 2700 Ogden Ave., Downers Grove.

Tollway officials said in a press release that the advisory board will “provide public input and guidance” as a master plan is drawn up for the I-294 reconstruction project, part of Move Illinois, the Tollway’s 15-year, $12 billion capital program.

“I was pleased and honored to be asked to serve on it by Palos Hills Mayor Jerry Bennett (president of the Southwest Suburban Conference of Mayors),” said Tokar, noting the close proximity of I-294 to his village. As of early last week, he did not have an agenda for the first meeting, but said he was looking forward to being at it.

“The Central Tri-State Tollway plays a critical role in the Illinois Tollway system and the regional transportation network, so input from the public and the communities we serve will be an important part of our planning process,” said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Greg Bedalov in a statement.

“Working together, we have an opportunity to implement innovative solutions that address travel demand for decades to come while also helping to stimulate economic development and serving local communities’ needs.”

Nearly 22 miles long, the Central Tri-State Tollway Corridor is one of the busiest and most complex segments of the 286-mile Tollway system, serving up to 185,000 daily vehicles.

In addition to being a main route to O’Hare International Airport, it connects five other interstates–the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90), I-190, the Reagan Memorial Tollway (I88), the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) and the Stevenson Expressway (I-55).

According to the Tollway Authority, the Move Illinois Program currently includes $1.7 billion for the Central Tri-State Tollway Project, with advance work tentatively set to begin as early as 2018 and reconstruction scheduled for 20202022. In addition to planning for roadway reconstruction, the master planning process will allow the Illinois Tollway to consider improvements to several major bridges and local interchanges, accommodations for commercial vehicles and transit, as well as explore the

The guy who sells shaved ice said he ate some humble pie but hopes his troubles with the Chicago Ridge Village Board are behind him.

Kevin Wright received approval from the board in July to add a gazebo with seating to his Sensational Snow business, a seasonal shaved ice business he has been operating out of a house-shaped trailer at 10600 S. Ridgeland Ave. for about four years.

But it may have been a case of “be careful what you wish for” because after that request led to a background check that turned up delinquent tax issues, the village suspended his business for nearly two weeks.

Wright addressed the issue at the village board meeting on Tuesday, insisting that he is now in compliance. Hearing that, the trustees agreed by a 4-2 vote to give him a temporary license allowing him to reopen for the rest of this season, with the stipulation that he does not add the gazebo until they confirm his information and resolve other questions that they have about the business.

Village Clerk George Schleyer said an investigation into the history of the business following the expansion request found that Wright had not paid the village’s one-percent food and beverage tax since it was instituted in 2013.

Schleyer said that it was also determined at a hearing that “no sales tax (had) been paid to the state of Illinois. The state didn’t even know he was in business because Wright’s tax ID number had been withdrawn.”

The clerk said that he decided then that the best thing to do would be to suspend his business license. “(Having a problem with taxes) is a first for me, personally or professionally,” said Wright. “I am sincerely sorry. I never meant to avoid paying taxes.

This is the biggest piece of humble pie I have ever eaten,” he added, adding that he cleared up the matter within 48 hours of being informed about the issue.

He said that when he opened his business, he allowed a friend, rather than a professional accountant, to do his taxes, and each year afterward just followed his lead.

“I did not even know that a food and beverage tax had even been instituted,” he said. Since it was brought to his attention on July 21, he and Schleyer went over his revenue records and determined that he owed the village a grand total of $243 in back taxes.

“You kept track of your sales during that time?,” asked Mayor Chuck Tokar.

Wright said he also met with officials from the Illinois Department of Revenue, and settled that debt as well. He would not say exactly how much sales tax he owed, but Schleyer told the board he had received documentation from the state that he was now in compliance.

“I’m going to have to learn a lot more about taxes.

I’m an engineer by trade,” said Wright, a Chicago Ridge native now living in Schaumburg.

Chicago Ridge Mayor Chuck Tokar will have a hand in decisions on a $1.7 billion highway project. addition of active traffic management similar to the eastern segment of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) Rebuilding and Widening Project.

Tollway officials said the Corridor Planning Council is expected to help develop a common understanding of the issues and concerns that should be considered as the Illinois Tollway undertakes this reconstruction project.

Therefore, in addition to mayors from Cook and DuPage counties, the Council membership will include railroad and trucking industry officials, tollway representatives, and leaders of business organizations, such as Donna Smith, executive director of the Bedford Park-Clearing Industrial Association.

Move Illinois, the Illinois Tollway›s 15year, $12 billion capital program, is aimed at improving mobility, reducing congestion and pollution, and creating as many as 120,000 jobs in the Midwest.

Other Move Illinois projects include rebuilding and widening the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90), constructing a new interchange to connect I-294 to I-57, building a new, all-electronic Elgin O’Hare western access, and funding planning studies for other emerging projects.

Oak Lawn Trustee Streit hosting Thunderbolts family night A Thunderbolts family night, hosted by Oak Lawn Trustee Bob Streit (3rd) will feature the Windy City Thunderbolts against the Joliet Slammers.

Names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses should be included on all correspondence. More information may be obtained by visiting www.friendsofbobstreit.com.

He said he also had not realized that the state had withdrawn or cancelled his tax ID number because no sales taxes were being collected.

Several trustees raised other issues about the business at the meeting, including its exact address, because it is located in the parking lot of a commercial strip. Wright said his lease agreement lists 10600 S. Ridgeland as his address, but Trustee Amanda Cardin said she wants to check that with the property owner. Trustee Frances Coglianese also questioned how he can have an address without being located in a building.

Village Attorney Burt Odelson said that since the tax debt, the reason for the license suspension, had now been paid, the board might run into legal trouble if the suspension was not lifted.

Therefore, at Cardin’s request, Wright’s business license was reissued on a temporary basis while the other issues were resolved. The vote was approved by a 4-2 margin, with Bruce Quintos and Frances Coglianese casting the two dissenting votes.

Wright said he has had to put the plans for the gazebo on hold while sorting out the tax issues, and the temporary license stipulates that his gazebo plans remain on hold until the trustees are satisfied that everything is in order.

When Wright questioned wondered why he was being questioned so thoroughly now, after being in business for years, several trustees reminded him that many of them weren’t on the board when he was originally given the license, and they are just doing their “due diligence.”

“You’re the one who brought the expansion request to us,” Tokar reminded him.

“This was all over a $243 debt,” said Wright after the meeting, asserting that he has lost employees and $1,500 in business during the last two weeks while the shaved ice stand was closed.

“I’ve lost a lot,” he said.

An Independent Newspaper Jeff Vorva Editor

Amy Richards Publisher

Published Weekly Founded March, 16, 1960

No way, Ray – Madigan deserves some blasting Editor’s note: Every once in a while our history guru, Don C. White, has some thoughts and sharp opinions about the here and now with a column called “Ramblings of a Skeptic” and here is one now:

H i sotno r y Le s s with

Enough already!

Don C. White We the people of Illinois can’t take much more of this downward spiral that the state leaders have been taking us on. Mr. Michael Madigan has been driving the government bus for thirty plus years. The front wheels are over the cliff and the brakes don’t seem to work. Maybe it’s because there is no money for repairs.

I collect newspaper headlines of items that interest me and then when I reach the tipping point where one of them sends me over the edge I have to write about them.

This time the one that sent me over was colleague Ray Hanania’s column from July 16 with the headline “Rauner doesn’t have the right answers so he attacks Madigan.”

Wait a minute while I get out my crying towel and wipe away my tears shed for poor Mr. Madigan.

Earlier this year I wrote a column titled “Let’s give Rauner some room to work on this budget mess.” Well, as far as I can see some of the headlines that I quote might bring to light the fact that Mr. Madigan and his minions (not the ones from the movies) are not going to work with the governor to try and solve the state’s problems.

The real minions are running around Springfield and our great state eating high on the hog after just giving themselves a fat pay raise. This is happening while others in the state are worried whether their next paycheck will be there or not.

So, Mr. Hanania, go ahead and bash Governor Rauner some more and pat Mr. Madigan on the back for the wonderful job he is doing. The headline on the front page of recent Sunday paper should be enough to wake up the entire state – but it won’t. “Budget cuts can’t stop this Grant.”

This ploy by Mr. Madigan and his minions to ignore the budget crisis and stash $35 million for Chicago school projects was done in 2014, so that no matter who was elected governor – they could not touch this money for any other use. The money was transferred into the account of one of Madigan’s chief minions, Secretary of State Jesse White. (No relation of mine.)

The money was then transferred to the Chicago Board of Education on June 16. About $13 million of the $35 million will go toward the cost of a new $48 million middle school in Mr. Madigan’s district. This new school is being built after the school board closed 50 schools citywide.

Hey Abbott, “Who’s on first?”

Our state government is made up of a bunch of good old boys and girls that don’t have a clue as to how to rein in the tax and spend lifestyle that they have become accustomed to. Oh, sure, they did vote to not extend the State income tax of 5 percent before Governor Rauner was sworn in. Not because it was the right thing to do, but because Mr. Madigan told them to and they all knew that it would put the new governor in an impossible situation as soon as he took the oath of office.

The blame game continues and nothing is being accomplished in Springfield so that the state can move forward. We the people elected these stooges to work for us, not for themselves.

More headlines: “Scrooges don’t include Rauner.” “Ruling puts Rauner on spot.” The “High court’s rejection of pension fix places onus on governor.” “Salvaging Illinois.” – Is that still possible?

Even Palos Hills Mayor Bennett chimed in, “Bennett crusades against Rauner cuts.” “Your money, Madigan’s money.”

“Scaredy-cats embolden Madigan.” “High Noon at the Springfield Corral.” referring to the union problems.

I liked what Reporter Editor Jeff Vorva had to say in his column on July 16 – “Don’t Trust Anybody – not even June Cleaver.” His advice is especially true of Illinois politicians.

Madigan’s minions are not going to be voted out of office. Term limits is the only way to change the culture of bad government in Illinois. And you know that Madigan will never allow we the people to have a vote on that issue.

One last headline then I’m done. It’s from The Reporter dated July 30. Mr. Hanania writes: “Gorman was the force in getting Rauner elected.” After reading his column, I can’t agree that by not putting Liz Gorman in his cabinet it will be his undoing. As I said before, give Rauner a chance to get something done. And to do this, Madigan and John Cullerton have to work with him.

Pray for the families

Please take a few moments with me and help me try to understand what recently happened in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a beautiful city like Charleston, S.C. Chattanooga is a wonderful city (I have spent time there for pleasure and work.)

What happened may have been the act of a “lone wolf” nut case that just wanted to send a message. I don’t believe that it was – it goes deeper than that. It was a terrorist act carried out on American soil. The families of these young men and the people of Chattanooga are in my prayers.

Don C. White is a historian from Palos Hills who has written a book on the Civil War.

We old goats should be owning the Internet, not shying away from it I remember when I was a young kid in the 1950s. My father really didn’t want a telephone and he had real concerns about the TV. Eventually, the telephone became a family necessity, and television was a close second in with the dinner table in bringing the family together.

The Internet is today’s “telephone.” Many baby boomers and those 50 and older don’t like it. That’s more than one-third of the country’s total population.

Data shows many seniors are disconnected and that’s a mistake. Seniors should own the Internet.

We should be controlling it.

I know the Internet involves costs that could be better spent on other essentials like healthcare, food, and monthly bills. Many 50 and above are on fixed incomes. While costs rise, incomes are not keeping pace.

But I also know that many seniors can afford a computer and WiFi. I see them at the Palos Health & Fitness

Club, where I work out in the morning. Their sports cars fill handicap parking spaces.

They stare at the TV screens, and some are on the cycles reading carefully folded daily newspaper. I used to read the daily newspapers every day. Now, I only read community papers such as the one you are reading. I get my daily news from the Internet on my cell phone, iPad and MacBook Pro. Honestly, Internet news sources are often far more informative – and fair -- than the lame stories I get in the Sun-Times and Tribune.

Community newspapers such as this one are an exception.

They cater to a niche market cornered covering suburban and community news the big papers ignore.

The Internet is not just about news, though. It’s about staying in touch. Staying in touch with your grandchildren, who are now jumping into the Internet Super Highway like a summer swimming pool with wild abandon. I’ve seen 6-year-

The Grapevine By Ray Hanania olds on cell phones, searching for information or playing games.

If you are over 50, you need to accept the fact that the Internet can be your friend and you need to drop the “dagnabbit” attitude. Go out and buy an iPad, or better yet, a laptop.

Get yourself WiFi. It’s not the future. It’s today’s reality and you need to be a part of it.

I know we older people fear scams. But Internet scammers are no different than the old con artists who would knock on your front door with a smile and a lie. You need common sense to beat them.

If someone walks up to you and asks for your Social Security number, you don’t give it to them. So why would you give it to a stranger who asks for

it in an email? Common sense, people. We seniors have it.

Staying in touch goes beyond your family. You can strengthen your social life, too. You don’t have to be alone. You can share pictures and stories with friends you know, especially on Facebook. It will keep your mind sharp and it will help your memory.

I know I’m not as quickthinking as I was 30 years ago.

But Facebook sure comes in handy when trying to remember someone from the past.

After graduating elementary school in 1967, I didn’t stay connected with many of those grade school chums. But now, 50 years later, in my 60s, I talk with them all the time on Facebook. It’s fun to reminisce about the past!

If you are in your 50s, do your health and your mind a favor. Don’t be afraid. Get on the Internet and revive that life!

Inside The First Amendment

State of the First Amendment — as others see it

By Gene Policinski

There’s no doubt that a huge number of Americans are unable to name the five freedoms protected by the First Amendment — national survey results each year since 1997 sadly leave little doubt about that circumstance.

On a more positive note, when reminded of the core freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition, our fellow citizens line up behind them in large numbers.

But when it comes to how those freedoms apply in everyday life? Well, it’s not that there’s less support. Rather, less agreement.

About a month ago, the Newseum Institute’s First Amendment Center published the results of its annual State of the First Amendment survey and the findings of a follow-up survey that focused on issues around display of the Confederate battle flag. The former was taken before a U.S. Supreme Court decision that allows Texas officials to ban display of the flag on state license plates, and before the killings in Charleston, S.C., by an apparent racist who had posed for a photo displaying the flag.

The latter survey was taken after both had occurred.

In sum, the two survey results showed a shift in how the public viewed the Texas auto tag ban — swinging from opposed to support. And the second survey found that while a majority of white and Hispanic respondents did not attach the same racist meaning to the flag as did black respondents, all three groups favored taking down the battle flag from public monuments and government buildings, and approved of private companies removing flag-related items from store offerings.

Some interesting reactions to the reporting of those results have come this way via email, and it is worth sharing a few.

In one email, noted as a “Letter to the Editor,” in which the writer complained that the reporting, citing this column, “seems to be saying that as long as a majority believes then the First Amendment does not apply.” Well, that’s hardly the case. Freedom of speech means that you and I and others get to say what we will regardless of majority opinion — including, if we wish, public and vigorous display of the Confederate battle flag.

What the First Amendment does not mean is legal insulation for some from decisions by elected officials on how public funds are expended, or from a reversal of earlier decisions. The First Amendment protects our right to speak, but doesn’t silence others who are just as free to disagree, criticize, and oppose.

This email writer also claimed desecration of cemeteries, violence, and even murder of pro-Confederate flag areas and supporters — saying the purported perpetrators “know how this First Amendment thing works these days.” Even if such things have occurred, no one has repealed laws against such criminal actions, before or after decisions to remove “that flag” from public display. Illegal acts were never protected by the First Amendment.

Another writer, who says she lives “Up North,” wrote that she’s now getting her concealed gun permit to join “the overwhelming silent majority that is pretty close to rising up to all this politically correct garbage.” Unable to get a proper flag, she said she settled for “a Confederate towel and it’s pinned to my clothesline.” After a few ugly slams at “welfare cheats, illegals, foreigners and fake causes,” blacks, President Obama and “bedwetting” liberals and Republicans she does not like, she says the nation is “turning to Communism and socialism!”

Whew — a lot of negative territory in relatively few words. But that’s free speech — even hateful remarks are protected. And one theory about the First Amendment is that by permitting such thoughts to be voiced publicly, without fear of government action, we’re less likely to rely on our Second Amendment right to express ourselves — in most cases.

Another writer — who began by advising me to “get a life and grow up dude” — followed that greeting by addressing his note to “just another history/revisionist liberal who only ‘feels good’ when trying to suppress others.”

On a more serious note, he suggested I have “little understanding of what this country’s founders believed in when writing our Constitution.” And a cartoon attached to the email noted, “We can remove flags and symbols all day ... but it’s the hate in people’s hearts that needs to be removed.”

And what of the Founders’ intentions in protecting our freedom of expression?

The First Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights were written as restraint on government, not to provide government endorsement of any point of view, faith, or political party — even after such support, if we are to be honest, was tacitly or directly given for years, or even decades.

Our core freedoms were put in place to counter what those in the Founders’ generation called “the tyranny of the majority” — not just superior numbers on this issue or that, but an entrenched majority that could control public policy over time — effectively denying a minority from ever being an effective force.

Removal of the Confederate flag from some publicly funded displays or private shelves does not signify a lessening of free speech. Rather, it demonstrates the power of unrestrained speech to reach even those who do not necessarily agree with the “why” but do approve of the “what” — even if it took 150 years to do it.

But let’s give the emailbag writers their due on an underlying fear they express — the prohibition of private displays of the flag or other symbols some dislike.

In a thoughtful dissent on the Texas flag decision, Justice Samuel Alito decried the Supreme Court’s decision on Texas’s auto tag that will preclude free speech on what he properly called personal “little mobile billboards” that no one should mistake for a government-sponsored message.

And let’s all stand guard against legal erosion that would somehow limit the expression of those half-dozen folks I saw over the weekend on southeastern Tennessee roads, flying large battle flags from the rear of pickup trucks. Such overt displays may offend some, or even many, but those in opposition are free to buy their own trucks and flags and take the same highways.

No government subsidy, support or limits, and no Supreme Court justice in sight.

That is how real free speech works. Really.

I told him the story. This is hours after he got killed at the ballpark that day. He said ‘I’ll see you there tomorrow.’ That’s Billy Pierce, you know what I mean? You don’t call a guy who gets knocked around like that, but you call Billy Pierce. He was just a beautiful person. He was unbelievably pleasant.’’

Pierce died at age 88 of gallbladder cancer and he spent 18 years in the major leagues. He was with the Sox from 1949-61.

He was one of three Chicago baseball legends to die in 2015.

Sox great Minnie Minoso and Cubs legend Ernie Banks also passed this year. Banks died Jan. 23 and Minoso died on March 1.

Pierce had a career mark of 211169 with a 3.27 ERA, He threw 193 complete games including 38 shutouts and notched 1,999

But around here, he was known for more than just numbers.

“Billy lived in Evergreen Park for many years, his home was about a block from the Little League Baseball Field,’’ John Halverson of Bradley wrote on Legacy.com.

“I…remember when a kid would knock on his door and ask Billy to give him a few pointers on pitching and Billy would always come out and help him. He was always helping out whatever way he could for the Shriners Hospital for Children.

What a man.’’

The Sox retired his number, 19, in 1987 but he has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame. In 2014, the Hall of Fame’s Golden Era Committee reviewed his case but did not let him in.

Another Evergreen Park native, former major league pitcher and current White Sox radio announcer Ed Farmer, said Saturday during a pregame show that Pierce is HOF material.

SCHOOLS / COMMUNITY NEWS

‘Kids who often can’t make their bed…made a house for someone’ Mike Jacobson cannot escape kids.

Whether working as associate principal at Richards High School, raising daughters, or serving as youth pastor at Incarnation Catholic Church, Jacobson sees teenagers every day. So he knows them pretty well.

A missionary trip to Kentucky this July, however, provided a new experience for someone who has spent nearly two decades teaching and leading adolescents.

“This trip was, for me, transformative.

The entire time we were there, we lived like missionaries. From where we stayed and ate, to where we worked, there were no comforts of home. It was hot, dirty, uncomfortable and difficult. However, it only took about a day to get past all of that and see the work that we were doing to help the three families we were helping,” said Jacobson.

They arrived in Harlan County to build and rehab homes.

“It was truly providence that a group of kids who often can’t make their bed… made a house for someone,” Jacobson said.

And the students, about a dozen of them, worked hard in the suffocating Kentucky heat.

“We were split up in to three groups.

One group started building a house. The other group ripped out a floor and started a new one. In my group we tore out the flooring in a kitchen of a house and then put in the new floor,” said Audrey Stocklen, a junior at Shepard High School.

“We worked on three different homes, two of which we ripped out the flooring and stabilized the support underneath,” said Kelly Pawlak, also a junior

The group traveled to Harlan County this summer on a service trip to rehab houses. at Shepard. “We put new siding on one of the houses. The biggest project was building a house from scratch. It was challenging at first, but by the end of the week the walls were up.”

Stocklen and Pawlak emphasized that getting to know the families was the best part of the trip.

“They were so kind and so willing to give the little that they had. They offered us water and we even got to feed their goats doughnuts! Also, on

Wednesday one of the families made lunch for all of us working. The families are what made the experience so wonderful.” Stocklen said.

“The best experience was interacting with the families. They were so welcoming and treated us like family. They were excited to show us all of their goats, pigs, and dogs, which was a lot of fun,” said Pawlak.

Their work, both kind and generous, helped those in need. But Jacobson noticed

“What I was actually proudest of was the ‘emotional work’ the kids did in small groups. The way they reflected on their lives and their purpose was sublime. These kids were vulnerable, open and honest.

This helped them unburden themselves and, more importantly, show the other kids that they are not alone in their personal doubts and fears,” he said.

Experiences like the mission trip – where students discover capabilities and learn that

peers feel many of the same things -- offer authentic growth opportunities.

“I think that we often tell kids that this is the ‘best time of their lives’ without really remembering how hard this time can be for teens,” said Jacobson. “I can see how if the kids only have the messages sent by adults and the media, they could feel ‘weird’ for not having a great time throughout high school.”

Looking back, the students almost feel like they received more than the families they helped.

“I would absolutely recommend this experience to a friend. It doesn’t matter if you think you can do construction work or not. Some of us walked in not knowing how to hammer a nail, but we learned quickly and smiled and laughed a lot while we were at work. The experience overall was also extremely spiritually awakening, and we connected with so many people and made lifelong friends,” Pawlak said.

“I feel so happy after helping the people.

This experience sure made me feel grateful for what I have. It made me realize that family is the most important thing,” said Stocklen.

Ultimately, the trip supplied Jacobson with a touchstone project – one to emulate in the future -- for the Incarnation youth ministry.

“The way they supported each other as they shared was judgment-free and beautiful. This is what my group is all about. What we are trying to do is develop a ministry where the kids can grow in their faith life by serving and supporting one another. We are fighting against the culture of self-absorption,” he said.

Musician Michael Charles will be entertaining the crowds at the inaugural Taste of Pierogi at Toyota Park.

First Taste of Pierogi coming to Toyota Park The inaugural Taste of Pierogi fest is coming to Toyota Park in Bridgeview from Thursday, Aug. 13, through Sunday, Aug. 16.

The festival will celebrate Polish heritage as well as the semicircular boiled dumplings that are traditionally stuffed with potatoes, sauerkraut, ground meat, cheese or fruit.

“Come join us for a weekend of food, music and fun as we celebrate Polish heritage,” said organizer John Zapas, who also runs the Porky’s Ribfest at Toyota Park. “This is a family friendly event.”

Zapas said Taste of Pierogi would be as much a music fest as a food fest.

“We will have two stages of music,” he said. “One stage will feature Polish music and the other will feature a variety of music.”

The stages will feature disco, rock, jazz and polka.

Among the headliners will be Grammy-winning Australian blues artist Michael Charles, a musical veteran for 31 years.

Charles traveled to America via invitation from Buddy Guy’s management.

Food vendors will be selling pierogi along with a variety of American food.

Zapas said there would be a pierogi eating contest and patrons can sign up for the contest at www.tasteofpierogi.com.

Other attractions will include a carnival, a beer tent serving genuine Polish beer and other beverages and traditional Polish dancers.

Fest hours will be from 4 to 11 p.m. Aug. 13 and Aug. 14; from 1 to 11 p.m. Aug. 15 and from noon to 11 p.m. Aug. 16.

Tickets are $10 per person for adults or $5 per person for children. There are deals available at Groupon and other sites that include free parking and family ticket packs for $20.

Bulletin Board SAINT XAVIER UNIVERSITY Saint Xavier University awarded nearly $1M to support nursing students Saint Xavier University’s School of Nursing and Office of Government, Corporate and Foundation Relations recently received notice of two federal grants to provide 65 undergraduate and graduate nursing students with substantial financial support in the 2015-2016 school year, totaling $988,194.

The Health Resources and Services Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded St. Xavier $343,194 from the Advanced Education Nurse

Traineeship program, which will fund 22 students in the school of nursing’s Family Nurse Practitioner program who have an interest in offering primary care to medically underserved communities.

The AENT program stems from a federal priority to increase the number of primary care family nurse practitioners working in medically underserved areas.

HRSA has also awarded SXU $645,000 from the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students program, which will be used to award scholarships to 43 undergraduate nursing students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The St. Xavier school of nursing faculty have al-

ready seen a marked difference among students receiving SDS scholarships.

St. Xaiver University is one of four universities in Illinois to receive AENT funding and one of four universities in Illinois to receive SDS funding, but is the only university in Illinois to receive both AENT and SDS funding this year.

One hundred percent of the cost of Saint Xavier’s Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students awards and Advanced Education Nurse Traineeship awards is underwritten by HRSA; no non-governmental funds are used for the SDS or AENT programs.

Blaze of glory —

Blaze Pizza, Wing Zone now open in Oak Lawn Two new restaurant chains opened their doors in Oak Lawn last week.

Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizza, an artisanal pizza place at 6230 W. 95th St., opened Thursday and By gave away free pizzas on Friday.

Bob Bong The Oak Lawn location is the seventh Chicago-area site for the California-based chain and its first in the south suburbs. It began in 2012 and now operates 75 pizzerias in 20 states.

Blaze specializes in custom-built pizzas that cost about $8 and are ready in three minutes.

The Oak Lawn location also offers wine and craft beers.

“Our mission at Blaze is really simple — we’re taking pizza back to its roots,” said Adam Cummis, Blaze Pizza Franchise Partner. “By making dough in-house, carefully sourcing ingredients, and cooking by fire, we’re giving guests a great way to enjoy artisanal pizza without the wait. It’s changing the way people think about and eat pizza.”

Blaze Pizza is being developed in the Chicago area by Levy Family Partners under a 15-store franchise development agreement.

Wing Zone, a restaurant that specializes in chicken wings, opened Saturday at 5713 W. 95th St. It is the Atlanta-based chain’s fifth location in the Chicago area.

The Oak Lawn location is one of 14 Wing Zones being developed in the Chicago area by Amyn Ali, with the Jabar Group. The first one opened last year in Bolingbrook and another one opened in Chicago earlier this year. A fourth store will open later this year in Glendale Heights.

Wing Zones feature a variety of wings along with burgers, chicken sandwiches, appetizers and sides.

Stores are typically 1,200 to 1,600 square feet with seating for 25 to 40 people. The bulk of their business is take-out or delivery.

The chain has about 90 locations in 15 states.

H&M to open at Chicago Ridge mall Swedish-based fashion retailer H&M will open a store today at Chicago Ridge Mall.

There will be mini-makeovers provided by Carson’s, giveaways and special entertainment

provided by the Oak Lawn High School Spartan Dance team and the Beverly Arts center.

The Chicago Ridge store will be the chain’s 15th in the Chicago area and the fourth in the southern suburbs.

The company was found in Sweden in 1947 and today offers fashion for everyone under the brands of H&M, COS, Monki, Weekday, Cheap Monday and & Other Stories, as well as fashion for the home at H&M Home.

Wintrust closes deal for Suburban Bank & Trust Rosemont-based Wintrust Financial Corp. announced the completion of its acquisition of Suburban Illinois Bancorp, the parent of Suburban Bank & Trust.

Suburban’s 10 banking locations will operate as branches of Wintrust’s Hinsdale Bank & Trust Co. Suburban was formed in 1976 and had branches locally in Chicago’s Beverly community, Lemont, Markham, New Lenox and Oak Lawn.

The deal will result in Wintrust closing some branches.

Edward J. Wehmer, president and CEO of Wintrust, said in a release, “Several of Wintrust’s community banks will have branches that share market areas with the acquired Suburban branches. As a result of those branch overlaps, we expect to combine approximately six branches during the second half of 2015.”

The aggregate purchase price was approximately $12.5 million. In the merger, outstanding shares of Suburban’s common stock were converted into the right to receive cash merger consideration.

The transaction was not expected to have a material effect on Wintrust’s 2015 earnings per share.

What should you know about establishing a trust?

You don’t have to be a CEO or multimillionaire to benefit from a trust. In fact, many people gain advantages from establishing one – so it may be useful to learn something about this common estate-planning tool.

Why would you want a trust?

For one thing, if you have highly specific wishes on how and when you want your estate to be distributed among your heirs, then a trust could be appropriate. Also, you might be interested in setting up a trust if you’d like to avoid the sometimes time-consuming, usually expensive and always public process of probate. Some types of trusts may also help protect your estate from lawsuits and creditors.

Currently, only a small percentage of Americans will be subject to estate taxes, but estate tax laws are often in flux, so things may be different in the future – and a properly designed trust could help minimize these taxes.

If you decide that a trust might be right for you, you should work with an experienced estate-planning attorney. Trusts can be highly effective estate-planning vehicles, but they can also be complex and varied – so you’ll want to make sure you understand what’s involved.

One important decision will be to choose a trustee. The trustee is legally bound to manage the

trust’s assets in the best interests of your beneficiaries, so your choice of trustee is extremely important. Your first impulse might be to select a family member, but before doing so, consider asking these questions: • Does he or she have the experience and knowledge to manage your financial affairs competently?

• When called upon to make a decision that may affect other family members, will your prospective trustee act in a fair and unbiased manner?

• Will naming a family member as trustee create a strain within the family?

• Does your prospective trustee have enough time to manage your trust? Does he or she even want this responsibility?

• Do you have other family members who are willing to serve as trustee if your chosen trustee cannot do so?

This last question leads to another key aspect of establishing a trust – specifically, you can name a “co-trustee” to help manage the trust, and also a “successor trustee” who can take over if the person named initially fails or refuses to act in the capacity of trustee. Again, you will want to put considerable thought into whom you ask to take these roles.

And you don’t have to stick

with individuals, either — you can decide to ask a financial institution to serve as trustee. By hiring such an institution, you will gain its objectivity and expertise, but you still need to ask many questions about costs, services provided, and so on.

Finally, as you develop your plans for a trust, consider communicating your wishes and ideas to your family and anyone else who may be beneficiaries of your estate. When family members don’t know what to expect, disappointment and frustration can follow. If you know your loved ones are on board with your estate plans, you may feel even more comfortable in putting these plans in place.

Cancer and fungus and horses and zebras...

WHATIZIT?

Better late than never and never almost won.

Last week’s photo of what the Brits call a “hole in the wall” was a challenge to our gang. It was an ATM machine and for a while, it looked like the WHATIZIT wizards were going to be shut out.

Thursday and Friday went by with little fanfare and no correct answers.

But on Sunday, Chicago Ridge’s Dan and Kathy Higgins came to the rescue and came up with the right answer.

It looked like the Higgins’ were going to be alone in their WHATIZIT glory but literally in the 11th hour (11:16 p.m. to be exact) on Monday night, the Friday Night Ladies Poker and Boy Toy Club of Oak Lawn, Orland Park and Oak Forest cashed in on the right answer as well.

Incorrect answers were a library drop box, and a mail slot.

This week’s clue: Think of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ hit “Constipation Blues.’’

Send those guesses by Monday night – even at 11:16 – to thereporter@comcast.net with WHATIZIT in the headline. Don’t forget your name and hometown.

In a recent column, I covered some studies and reports dating back to the 1950s, regarding the nexus between fungus and cancer. It was so promising and interesting, I decided I would seek further information.

Since my last article, I have found, even more recent studies, including one from June, 2015.

There appears to be a tremendous association between fungus and cancer and other diseases. Researcher and author, Doug Kaufman, points out that cancer and fungus are similar in many ways. Among them, the need for sugar (or commonly known as cancer’s sweet tooth) and the creation of lactic acid by both fungus and cancer.

The development of antibiotics and the excessive use of sugar in the United States, may well be playing a role. The reason: antibiotic use destroys our friendly bacteria—gut flora—that is so necessary to the function of our immune system. Physicians rarely instruct patients on antibiotics to replace the friendly bacteria with quality probiotics. Lack of friendly bacteria, can lead to many digestive and immune system problems, including allowing more room for invasive fungi.

Now, let’s go back to the fungus connection. In one 2013 study, 27 women who were diagnosed with lung cancer, were tested for fungal infections. The patients were taken from two groups in geographical areas of known high-risk fungal infections.

The Mississippi Valley and the Arizona Desert area as well as a high-risk fungal area in San Paulo, Brazil.

While the 27 were diagnosed with cancer, they were found to be cancer-free and what appeared as cancer on radiographs was actu-

fungus, there was clearly a fungal connection.

It was once uncommon to find the association, however, Kaufman believes that Americans love sugar and that combined with the use of so many antibiotics, without the replacement of friendly bacteria (that normally help us fight fungus) both fungal and cancer rates will climb.

Among the fungal infections misdiagnosed as cancer, were histoplasmosis, coccidiodomycosis, blastomycosis and aspergillus.

Medline-Plus, in June highlighted “Pulmonary aspergilloma.”

In many of the reports it is explained that aspergilloma is generally found in patients whose immune system is already compromised and even in patients already being treated for cancer. But how rare is it, considering most cases of lung, breast and other cancers are not regularly checked for fungal infections?

Since it was always considered rare, the medical community generally looks for the horses and not the zebra among the horses.

Also, considering the poor diets and the high sugar consumption as well as hot, humid weather that leads to the formation of mold all around, or the dust storms in desert areas, it might be wise to follow Doug Kaufman’s suggestion to ask your doctor to check for fungus at the same time they are testing for cancer.

These reports are not implying that all cases of cancer are fungal related, but that some cases may actually be a fungus which means the treatment would be totally different. It never hurts to check.

Mixing it up for good health

ally fungal infections that were more common in those areas. Again, the clinical and radiological studies in these patients indicated cancer. Once the patients were treated with anti-fungals they recovered, according to Kaufman. In reading the 2013 report that appeared in the Journal “Lung,” the symptoms of both fungal infection and cancer could be the same. The clinical and radiographic studies were the same, but the outcomes were different. The report states that each disease requires its own specific treatment. In this case, the fungal infections, believed to have been cancer, were not treated with chemo or radiation, but with anti-fungal medications.

A television news report from 2010 highlighted anti-fungals used in conjunction with cancer therapy: “A common antifungal drug can slow tumors growing in mice and should be investigated as a potentially cheap and easy way to fight cancer in people, researchers reported. Although it did not completely wipe out the tumors, the drug called itraconazole may boost the effects of other drugs, the researchers reported in the journal Cancer Cell. Itraconazole is marketed under the brand name Sporanox by Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceutica, mostly for treating a fungal infection called aspergillus.”

While the report did not explain the nexus and possibility of the cancer perhaps being a

Best of The Wine Guy

The Seasonings trump salt in flavor, benefits Wine Guy In case you haven’t heard — and let’s be honest, you’ve either been living in a cave or don’t ever read, watch television or use the Internet if this is the case — Americans are eating far too much salt.

The Reporter’s own Dee Woods stated as much once while noting there is a difference between “good” salt — the kind that comes from the ocean and is unprocessed — and “bad” salt — the kind known as “table salt” that most everyone uses whether at home or at a restaurant. This article will talk only about the bad salt, which should be consumed in amounts of no more than one-half teaspoon a day.

What is astounding is that we’ve known for years too much salt is bad for our health, yet salt consumption has risen to extraordinary levels. This is

dration, which causes myriad ailments including headache and cramps.

Avoid too much salt by eating fresh raw vegetables and cooking at home, rather than eating out. Steam your vegetables, and resist the temptation to sprinkle them with salt — really, your food doesn’t need it. Try seasoning with onions, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and herbs and spices such as thyme, basil, oregano, cayenne and paprika. Not only are these seasonings good, they’re good for you. Try them in soups and salads, or marinate your meat with them. Cayenne may be the best of the bunch — this powerful pepper (careful, it’s hot) can dilate blood vessels and reduce blood pressure to such a degree it has been documented to stop a heart attack in its tracks.

Apple cider vinegar is also great,

in part because of Americans’ insatiable appetites for fast food, which may as well be labeled “salt with a side of (name your meal).” Yes, salt brings out the flavors in foods, but most foods aren’t so terrible that they can’t do without it. We’ve just been conditioned since childhood to believe food just isn’t very tasty without it.

Salt can be found in almost everything that doesn’t grow in the Earth. Restaurant food, snack foods, microwavable meals and almost everything canned.

Chefs on TV make deliciouslooking foods using copious amounts of this crystalline compound.

Sodium is necessary for life, we can’t live without it. But excessive salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack and cardiovascular disease. It can also cause dehy-

Use these seasonings well, lay off the salt, eat healthy and keep drinking wine.

Community Sports News PALOS MELTDOWN SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY

The ninth annual Palos Meltdown Mountain Bike Race will be held Sunday beginning at 9:15 a.m. at Pulaski Woods, near the intersection of 95th Street and Archer Avenue in Willow Springs.

Over 600 people are expected to take part in the event, which will also feature the dedication of the new Stone House Trail. Races will be held for juniors and first-timers (9:15), children (1:30 p.m.) and pro-end experts (2 p.m.). Top finishers in both the men’s and women’s expert races will receive $650.

Race distances will range from 5 to approximately 30 miles and racers will face a number of challenges along the way.

The event is a fundraiser for the Chicago Area Mountain Bikers, a nonprofit organization that builds trails and currently maintains seven trail systems and parks designed for all skill levels at no cost to trail users or land managers.

Girls aren’t the only ones having fun on the diamond this summer in Evergreen Park. Also successful has been Evergreen Park Boys Club’s 11-year-old baseball team, which won a Cal Ripken state championship in its hometown to advance to pool play in the Ohio Valley Regional.

And the winning continued for Evergreen there as it went 3-0 in Galesburg, Ill. It wasn’t easy, however — Evergreen’s pool-play opener, for example, required it to stage a five-run rally in the bottom of the sixth inning after the first two batters were retired. That led to an 8-7 triumph over Green Bay. From there, Evergreen went on to knock off defending champion SE Lexington, Ky., 5-4 and beat Mooresville, Ind., 8-7. That latter victory also necessitated a comeback as Evergreen tallied four times in the bottom of the sixth.

Evergreen entered the next round of play seeded third in a group of 12.

Seeking football forecasters

Undefeated champions

As one ages, the past takes on a somewhat magical quality.

No matter what the reality was, bygone eras stand as beacons of all that was right in the world. Some of that feeling is no doubt traceable to failing memories on the part of those who are recollecting, but to individuals old enough to draw personal comparisons between time periods history often evokes warm and fuzzy images.

That’s not to say everything really was better, although it is certainly true in some instances. It’s a matter of perspective.

Take communications, for example — nobody, I’m sure, would want to retreat back into the days of no email or texting. However, as a driver dealing on a daily basis with diverted-attention morons seated behind the wheel, I — and many of you too — wish at those near-collision moments that on-the-move access to friends and colleagues was unavailable.

The sense of community that once existed in so many areas, small and large alike, is pretty much gone as well, a victim of many factors, including splintered families and relocations. Once upon a time there were relatively few changes of address and neighborhoods generally remained stable.

And because of that people took the time to get to know one another better, something that probably did much to promote tolerance toward one another. Any disagreements were usually resolved in a civil manner, with no name-calling or need for legal intervention.

Meeting new people has always been a major component of conventions, regardless of the types of businesses that hosted them.

When the invitation to join the event extends beyond the industry and welcomes outsiders, it’s even better.

Such has been the dynamic of the National Sports Collectors Convention, which completed a four-day stay in Rosemont on Sunday. As someone who has dealt with sports for much of his working life, I usually make the trek to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center whenever the show returns to the Midwest.

The NSCC has kind of gone full circle since making its first Chicagoland appearance in 1983. Back then it was a new phenomenon — nowhere else could memorabilia collectors assemble and find dealers from all over the country in one place.

And the roster was teeming with the industry’s biggest names.

Everybody who was anybody in the sports-collecting hobby was in attendance because it made good sense for them too — there was no better way to come across hordes of potential new customers in such rapid fashion.

What made the NSCC stand out in addition to the vast array of items offered for sale was the human interaction. Friendships were often forged over a discussion that began with a simple query about a trading card or piece of equipment, and even if the seller and buyer didn’t become great buddies they at least had a few minutes of give-and-take centered on a mutual love of sports that made both consider the time spent worthwhile.

But through the years that sense of camaraderie has slowly been chipped away. Oh, you’ll still find some sociable folks at the NSCC, but there is much less of a familial atmosphere attached to it these days.

The change is somewhat understandable — there is more pressure than before to make each day count from a sales perspective simply because there are so many buying alternatives. Unlike in the convention’s early days, a guy who maybe traveled a thousand miles, stayed in a hotel for four or five nights and ate all his meals out could have theoretically stayed home, placed a number of things on Internet auctions and waited for the bidding to end.

So why didn’t he do that? Probably the same reason I and other collectors went to the show: to restore a human element to the hobby for at least a while. But today there’s little time for idle chitchat unless it’s going to directly lead to a sale.

The prices at this year’s convention seemed to reflect the need to recoup expenditures as, on average, they skewed high. And the variety of available items wasn’t especially wide.

Far more aggravating than either of those factors, though, was the early exodus of a great many exhibitors. Sunday’s show was scheduled to run until 5 p.m.; by 1:30 a number of tables had been cleared out.

If those dealers had been successful the first three days, why not just pack up and leave Saturday night and save one day’s hotel and food expenses? And if business hadn’t been too good earlier, why not stick around the whole time to see if you can salvage your bottom line on the final day?

There were also several corporate booths on site, but they didn’t appear all that interested in developing good customer relations either.

In the past, there were usually small giveaways meant to serve as an enticement for customers to consider purchasing that particular product brand; now those companies wanted visitors to buy first and then receive some sort of redemption.

While all the components — including autograph guests — were there as usual, the NSCC as a whole came off looking more like a been-there, done-that endeavor. There was no electricity — true even in a literal aspect after a brief hailstorm temporarily knocked out power in half the convention hall — or feeling that this was a must-see attraction.

All of which leads me to believe the days of the NSCC may be growing short. There was nothing the promoters did incorrectly, but they seem to be bucking a trend against such large-scale events.

Interests and tastes shift at a breakneck pace, and sports collecting in many ways has a 1990s flavor attached to it. It went on before that and has obviously continued 15 years into the new millennium, but its heyday unquestionably was 20 or so years ago.

That’s when new products were constantly being introduced and it was almost impossible to travel through a town of any decent size without seeing a trading-card shop or reach a weekend without having some sort of sports show within easy driving distance. And that decade also was in advance of all the technological gadgets that have become omnipresent and helped create an immediate-gratification environment, so collecting didn’t seem quaint or archaic as it likely does now.

While doing away completely with the NSCC may not happen, keeping it as an annual event wouldn’t seem to make a great deal of sense. Running one every 3-to-5 years might bring back some of the allure, but rest assured it’s never going to draw the heavy amount of interest it once did no matter how infrequently it’s staged.

Of course, 25 years from now that won’t stop old-timers from calling these days the very best ones for sports enthusiasts.

her real alliances a secret.

Written by Brent Staples and Drew Pearce, this has a different tone than its predecessors. The overall tone and feel that the two writers bring is refreshing for an action movie. Here they actually take the time to develop characters, not just the star.

We have villains in Soloman Lane (Sean Harris) and Janik “Bone Doctor” Vinter (Jens Hulten) who the writers actually make priorities, unlike in most films where the villain is kind of an afterthought just there for the hero to destroy.

The Renner and Rhames characters may not be as developed as they’ve been in the past films due to the inclusion of a female lead who takes up almost as much screen time as Cruise.

This film is what all “Mission: Impossible” films should be. It’s well written, directed, acted, and it seems to do everything else well too.

Whoever Cruise picks to direct and write the next installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise (it’s officially coming), needs to study this film, as it’s the best of a thrilling franchise. Dare we say this is Tom Cruise at his best in quite a while.

OMARR’S WEEKLY ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the upcoming week, you may lose sight of long-term objectives due to short-term interruptions. It may be difficult to stay on track if you feel you’re challenged to remain independent or keep pace with technology.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might need to whip out the evidence to put doubts to rest. A new romantic partner might ask to see some proof of your loyalty in the week to come. Find success by using your business savvy in creative ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use mental dexterity to make progress. Quick thinking can save you hours of extra work. Your deft handling of people and executive decisions might make you appear smarter than you really are in the week ahead.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Actions don’t always speak louder than words. In the week to come, you might find that things become overly complicated if you initiate new projects without a complete game plan and detailed explanations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One for all and all for one. You may not have a sword or musketeer companions, but you can share joy in the accomplishments of your fellow man. You may find satisfaction by being part of the bigger picture this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Rise to the occasion.

Like yeast bread, you must first proof the dough before you can make something worthy of tasting.

You may feel pressured to make decisions against your better judgment in the week ahead.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Loyalties may be tested by a separation or unusual circumstances.

You may be tempted to take unnecessary risks to

keep pace with a certain someone. In the week ahead, focus on business over pleasure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may rise to the bait as the week unfolds. You may be put at a disadvantage if you voice an opinion about the latest issues. Learn to listen and develop a broader, richer philosophy or enjoy an educative lecture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When others are supportive and offer wise counsel, take it. You feel more confident and willing to go the extra mile for those who have your back. In the week ahead, don’t let doubts block your plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Think big. In the week to come, your ambitions receive much needed inspiration from your surroundings. It’s in your best interest to immerse yourself in the very reading material and people.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can put the throttle on “full steam ahead.” Situations seem to trigger your enthusiasm and talent for innovation.

When caught up in surprises or emergencies, you can easily be at your best in the week ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t fritter away your pennies to prove a point. A battle of the wills will fall by the wayside in the week ahead when you get a vote of confidence from a companion or partner. All’s well that ends well.

Trinity Christian College alumni will perform Neil Simon’s Tony Award-winning play “The Odd Couple” Friday and Saturday, Aug. 28-29 at 7:30 p.m. in the Marg Kallemeyn Theatre (Art and Communication Center) with a matinee on Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased online at www.eventbrite.com (Search: Trinity alumni theatre).

at The Children’s Farm, 12700 Southwest Highway, Palos Park.

Farm Director Amy DiDominicis says that the second season of her new Sustainable Agriculture and Green Education (SAGE) program has been extremely successful.

The Aug. 23 dinner is a gourmet outdoor barbecue, featuring ingredients that were planted, grown, raised and harvested as part of the SAGE program. No chemicals or pesticides were used in the growing process and all animals were free-ranged and naturally fed.

The dinner menu includes appetizers with fresh vegetables and roast chicken, garden vegetable and potato salads, natural free range barbecued pork, and fresh raspberry desserts. In addition to the chicken and pork, more than 25 fresh vegetables are being grown to incorporate into the dinner, plus at least a dozen herbs for flavorings and iced teas.

Fair trade coffee and chocolate are being purchased to round out the dinner menu. DiDominicis hopes to hold the event outdoors under tents and a pavilion on the farm lawn, but will move the event indoors if the weather is too hot or stormy.
