Transformers fans flock to Pheasant Run Costumed fans welcome at BotCon 2015

He received multiple rounds of applause for his seconds-long transformation from a robot to a car that could move around on the ground.

“I always thought that Transformers were cool,” Brett said after the panel. “I always liked cars and robots, and then I heard that [the brand] was about cars turning into robots.”

Brett and his family joined hundreds of other people at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles for Bot Con 2015, the officially licensed collectors’ convention for Hasbro’s Transformers brand.

Among the many events was a panel on Transformers cosplay, or costume play. One of the panelists, Den Pratt of Red Oak, Iowa, talked about how dressing up empowers her in situations where she would otherwise be anxious and have stage fright.

Pratt said she made one of her costumes from all upholstery foam and fabric. “[A] hot glue gun is very much your friend and your worst enemy,” Pratt said, explaining that the glue is not gentle on exposed fingers.

ROSARY GIRLS SWIMMING

Yager qualifies for ’16 Olympic swim trials

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Rosary student Alexis Yager qualified this weekend for the 2016 U.S. Olympic trials in Omaha, Nebraska while competing for the Academy Bullets club team in Iowa City, Iowa.

Yager, a junior from Batavia, met the time standard in the 200-meter breaststroke, swimming 2:34.91 at the Swim Pink Invitational at the University of Iowa.

“It’s awesome. It was definitely our goal to get her to trials,” said Bill Schalz, Yag-

er’s Rosary coach and a Bullets executive. “This is not a time of the year where we’re typically resting, so it’s pretty exciting for her to do it right now, because we do expect her to go even faster in August when she goes to junior nationals.”

Trials qualifying standards are set between each Olympics. Yager beat the 200 breaststroke cut by eight hundredths of a second, dropping her personal record in the event by about four seconds.

The trails are set for June 26 to July 3, 2016, and will determine the American

swimming contingent for the Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, later that summer.

“She saw a lot of improvement last summer and kind of dedicated herself to this is what she wanted to do,” Bullets head coach Todd Capen said. “This was the first step.”

The 2014 Kane County Chronicle Girls Swimmer of the Year, Yager won the 200yard individual medley title at the IHSA state meet in November with a clocking of 2:02.15.

NASCAR XFINITY SERIES: ATTICAT 300

That’s what you notice.”

Teammate Anthony Rizzo, who hit his third home run in as many days, was impressed.

“He got a nice taste, and now it’s really nice that he gets to go down to Triple-A having success up here and know he can do it,” Rizzo said. “He knows he can hit up here, so he has to just go down and keep developing and keep building.”

Schwarber is expected to return to catching every day at Iowa and get some outfield work late in the season before an anticipated return to the big leagues by September, if not earlier based on need.

“It was a great experience, and now it’s time to go down and start working on all the stuff I need to work on and hopefully get back up here,” Schwarber said.

Is he a little disappointed to be heading back to the minors?

“No. I knew this day was going to come,” he said “It was just a matter of when the time was ticking down. I’m not disappointed at all. Being able to see what it takes to play a major-league game, it was awesome.”

WHITE SOX 3, RANGERS 2 (11 INN.)

Beckham delivers with walkoff HR

BY TONI GINNETTI For Sun-Times Media CHICAGO – White Sox manager Robin Ventura went through his share of tough seasons in 16 years as a player.

It’s why he never had any false illusions about how difficult managing can be.

“There are days that are tougher than others and stretches that are tougher than others,” he said. “That’s part of doing it. You never think you’re just going to go into something and it’s not going to be hard. Having played long enough, you see different things pan out, good and bad, and you know any of that is possible.”

There was more good than bad in the Sox’ 3-2 victory in 11 innings over the visiting Texas Rangers on Sunday. That includes a maligned defense making two critical inning-ending

double plays in the 10th and 11th, and role player Gordon Beckham hitting the game-winning, walk-off home run.

“It was a tough game all around, and a good win for the guys,” Ventura said. ‘“We were wheeling and dealing putting guys on base [intentionally]. Then you finally break through.”

The Sox still lacked the ability to hit with runners in scoring position, going 2-for-9 and stranding 10.

And tough-luck starter Jose Quintana didn’t get the win despite allowing only two solo home runs through seven innings.

But the bullpen delivered four scoreless innings and the defense came through with those double plays after intentional walks were issued the batter before.

Beckham, a defensive replacement at third base in the

10th, started the last double play (with the bases loaded), throwing home to Tyler Flowers, who then threw out batter Hanser Alberto at first.

Then Beckham led off by drilling the first pitch from lefty Alex Claudio over the leftfield fence.

“He’s been doing it for a while,” Ventura said. “That double play he turned, it’s right in his wheelhouse. He comes in and gets stuff going. And then he comes up and hits the homer. There was good stuff all the way around.”

The victory gave the Sox their first series win since a three-game sweep of Houston earlier this month. And it helped soothe the lingering pain of the eight-game losing streak.

“We’re doing the best we can every day and hoping things will turn around,” said Sox pitcher Jake Petricka (2-2).

wins two national races in the same weekend

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – It was a good week to be Erik Jones.

On Tuesday, he won a short-track race in Berlin, Michigan.

On Friday, he won a NASCAR Camping World truck series race in Newton, Iowa, and moved to third in the standings.

On Sunday, he made history, winning the Owens Corning AttiCat 300, the weather delayed Xfinity Series race at Chicagoland Speedway, to become, at 19 years and 23 days, the youngest driver to win two NASCAR sanctioned races in the same weekend.

No wonder Steve deSouza, the manager of Joe Gibbs Racing’s Xfinity series team, is optimistic about the lad’s future.

“He’s doing everything we thought he could do,” deSouza said. “I’m sure we’ll see him in the Cup at some time in the future.”

That would be the Sprint Cup, the top level in stock car racing, where he has run part of one race, relieving Denny Hamlin in Kansas earlier this year.

His first start is to come.

When it does, look for someone with the patience of a veteran and the hotfoot of a winner. For now, Jones is the

man to look for in the mirrors in the Xfinity and Camping World truck series.

When Ryan Blaney saw him coming on Sunday’s lap 189 restart, he could do nothing about it. Blaney went low to run a shorter track but tighter line in his Penske Racing Ford, and Jones, running high, motored by, at first incrementally, and then with a rush in his Gibbs-prepared Toyota.

“He got tight or loose, and I got a run and barreled into Turn 3,” Jones said. “It was a matter of him making a little mistake. I don’t know if we’d have won if he hadn’t done that.”

Given the ease with while Jones had carved his way through the field on previous occasions, there was little reason to doubt a pass would come somewhere in the last 15 miles. Jones had started 11th and climbed into the lead by the 39th lap, and led on six occasions in all.

He even came back from a bizarre snafu in which he and 18 other drivers were sent to the back of the field for pitting when the pits were closed. Race control said the pits were open, but the men working the lights and the red flag didn’t get the word.

Most of the leaders came in, and NASCAR slapped their wrists.

MINNEAPOLIS – The Kyle Schwarber designated-hitter tour through Cleveland and Minnesota ended Sunday with another sold-out crowd and rave reviews. The only thing left is the encore.

The Cubs touted prospect, who jumped from Double A to the big-league roster strictly for a week of DH duty, finished on a high note on his way to his Triple A Iowa debut Tuesday.

He delivered a two-run single – if not a message – in his next-to-last at-bat, a line drive to left-center in the eighth inning that turned a two-run lead into a four-run lead en route to an 8-0 victory over the Twins.

“It was an unreal experience,” said Schwarber, the No. 4 overall draft pick out of Indiana a year ago. “I proved to myself that I’ve got a chance to do it. And I got to work on a little bit more things. I wasn’t too happy with the past couple days with the at-bats, but it was just a little dabble into what could happen, and it was

a really good time.”

The Cubs went 3-2 during the Schwarber road trip, including a series victory against a Twins team that had the best home record in the American League.

“Great kid, man. He handled all of this perfectly,” said manager Joe Maddon, who talked with Schwarber before the game to reiterate the plan to return him to the minors and discuss specifics to work on.

“He definitely helped us. He contributed, helped us win a couple of games. Did an outstanding job. It couldn’t have turned out better.”

Schwarber went 8 for 22 (.364) with a homer, triple and six RBI during his six-game “pit stop” in the majors. That included five starts, one intentional walk and opponents employing defensive shifts against him all week.

He also struck out eight times, including six during a 1-for-12 stretch before his eighth-inning hit.

“I love the fact that he just competes,” Maddon said.

“Couple tough at-bats, but he competed the entire game.

Dear Abby: I have a dilemma. Last year my son became a professional in his sport, and he has recently become famous. Since then, everyone is asking for tickets to games because they want in on the action.

My son gets tickets, but they are not free and they do cost him something. It’s becoming very stressful for him. Friends and family from all over now ask him for tickets. I don’t want to impose upon him for other than immediate family.

How do I tactfully tell these people that I won’t ask? I don’t want it to sound like HE doesn’t want to do it. I want it to come from a concerned mom who simply doesn’t get tickets for everyone, so they need to go online and buy them like normal people do. – Professional

may not realize they are being presumptuous. Tell them frankly, the same way you explained it to me, that the tickets aren’t free to the players. These people may not be aware of it.

Dear Abby: A good friend of mine began having trouble in her marriage of 16 years. She has been coming to me for advice. Her husband has grown distant and refuses physical interaction. He speaks to her as if he is always irritated with her.

The reason she seeks my advice is because I’m going through a divorce and my husband exhibited the same signs. I have tried to give her the best advice I can, but now she’s implying that her husband is attracted to me!

It makes me very uncomfortable since I haven’t done anything wrong. What should I do? – Walking On Eggshells

Dear Walking On Eggshells:

Your friend is an emotional wreck right now. Because her husband hasn’t given her the reason he is emotionally abusing her, she’s desperately looking for a reason. A step in the right direction would be to assure her that you are not, never were, and never will be attracted to her husband. Then suggest that she may need more support than

you can give her and she might find it helpful to talk to a professional counselor.

Dear Abby: I was an invited guest at a dinner party along with a few other couples.

During conversation, one of the guests mean-spiritedly used the N-word twice. I was appalled. Because it was not my home, I said nothing.

Please tell me how I could have handled this to let the bigot know this wasn’t acceptable and was just plain wrong. I’m not sure I want to associate with him or even be in his company again. – Should Have Spoken Up

Dear Should Have Spoken Up: If you choose to avoid the

person, that’s your privilege and it’s fine with me. There’s a saying, “All that’s needed for evil to flourish is for good people to say nothing.” It would not have been rude to have said, “Please don’t use that word around me, because I find it offensive.”

Dear Abby: I am dating a man whose two grown children live out of state. He and his wife divorced when the kids were young, and he tried hard to keep a good relationship with them. I can see how much he loves them and how painful it is for him to not have them in his life. He has no idea why they are distant.

I suggested he ask them directly what happened. He said he has tried.

He hasn’t heard much from his children for several years. Holding on to negativity or the past is so much more work than letting it go. – Wise Lady From The

Midwest Dear Wise Lady: If your

boyfriend was present in his children’s lives in spite of the divorce while they were growing up, it’s possible they may be so involved in their own lives that they have “forgotten” their dad might appreciate hearing from them.

SOLUTION

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Elsa Schiaparelli, an Italian who lived in London and New York before moving to Paris and becoming a designer, said, “A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness.”

A good bridge player is a like a sorceress who dispenses happiness to her side and unhappiness to her opponents.

How would an enchantress play today’s deal in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest diamond, and South takes the first trick with her nine?

There’s that boring auction again! It is the most common not only in newspaper columns but also at the tables.

Declarer starts with only seven top tricks: three spades, one heart, one diamond (trick one) and two clubs. But she can gain at least two more winners from the clubs, even if she loses a trick to the queen.

What, though, is the danger?

Trick one made it clear that West has the diamond ace-queen hovering over South’s king-jack.

So, if East gains the lead, he will push a diamond through declarer and West will run some – perhaps too many – winners. East is the danger hand who must be kept off play.

To achieve this, declarer plays a spade to dummy’s king, then magically runs specifically the club jack. When it wins, she plays a club to her 10, cashes the club ace, and claims an overtrick.

There is one last important point. At trick one, East should play his diamond deuce, not cover dummy’s six with his eight.

When one cannot play a nine or higher, give count. Here, East’s lowest shows an odd number of cards in that suit.
