FROM THE PUBLISHER

WHERE DID THE TIME GO? It seems like I was just at the St. Mary’s Festival for Memorial Day last weekend; now, it’s Labor Day weekend. It was a glorious summer in Harbor Country. Now, we will watch the gradual flow into autumn as the schools open their doors and football season gets into full swing. The New Buffalo Times team wishes everyone a safe and fun Labor Day weekend as we join our friends and family on the shores of Michigan’s Great Lakes, where we live, laugh and love. dee dee duhn

D 30 N Whittaker St Open Daily

R U O SS H E C 24 AC Premiere 24 hour fitness facility for men & women 18 years and older. Membership options available for both full-time and part-time residents, call for details!

avion Turner, 19, of Conyers, Georgia has been charged with Open Murder and Felony Firearm in connection with the shooting death of Nathaniel Lee, 32, of Benton Harbor. Turner has been identified as the shooter in the incident at Benton Harbor’s River Terrace housing complex at 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 15. Lee was sitting in a parked vehicle with another when he was shot twice by Turner in what may have been a robbery. It is believed Turner was in town from Georgia visiting his father in Benton Harbor. Police developed Turner as a suspect quickly resulting in Turner turning himself in to police Thursday afternoon. At Turner’s arraignment on Open Murder and Felony Firearm, bond was set at $1,000,000 cash or surety with GPS monitoring. His pre-exam conference was set for Friday, Aug. 25, and his preliminary examination hearing for Thursday, Aug. 31, both at 8:30 a.m. in Berrien County’s St. Joseph court. Open Murder includes options of 1st and 2nd Degree Murder, the penalty being Life without Parole, and Life or any term of years, respectively. Felony Firearm carries a penalty of a two-year mandatory sentence consecutive to any other charge. The investigation is being conducted by the Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety with assistance from Michigan State Police Major Crimes Unit, FBI VCTF and Berrien County Sheriff’s Department. Antonio Hall, 21, of Benton Harbor, has been charged with Felony-Murder, Armed Robbery and Felony Fire-arm in connection with the shooting death of Lee. It is alleged Hall and Turner conspired with two others to rob Lee. At Hall’s arraignment on Felony-Murder, Armed Robbery and Felony Firearm bond was set at $1,000,000 cash or surety with GPS monitoring. His pre-exam conference is set for Friday, Sept. 1, and his preliminary examination hearing for Thursday, Sept. 7, both at 8:30 a.m. in Berrien County’s St. Joseph court. At the time of Turner’s preliminary examination scheduled for Aug. 31, the prosecutor will be seeking to amend Turner’s charges to include Felony-Murder and Armed Robbery. — STAFF REPORTS

It will provide an opportunity for local citizens and visitors to view the interesting products first hand, all at one location. The public will be able to actually see, touch and feel products manufactured in La Porte County. The event will also provide an opportunity for local businesses to interface with one another on a “business to business” basis. Another great feature of the event will be the opportunity for local school students throughout the county to get acquainted with local industries, their products, career opportunities and required skills. “For the local workforce to develop and support our existing industry it is critical for our students to be introduced to our manufacturers and to understand the appropriate training needed to work at those businesses,” said EDCMC Executive Director, Clarence Hulse. This event, which is held biannually, is occurring for the fifth time this year. In the past, as many as 50 employers have participated. “We are hoping to have 50 employers, or more, again this year to showcase their products to the community,” said GLEDC Executive Director, Bert Cook. Registration is still open for manufacturers and they companies are encouraged to register now to secure their space. For more details about the event or to register, please contact Katie Eaton at keaton@edcmc.com or 219-873-1211.

by invitation only FACING UP TO GETTING OLD BY LAWRENCE VON EBELER

t was not until this last year that I even felt remotely old. It’s not easy when you have been active, seemingly on top of things, dress well, mix well, entertain often, and have little cognizance of your age. Things change, ageing occurs, and your life goes through a reality check. All of this did not start with my accident, though debilitating, but in many ways that scene was encouraging for the fact that I learned I had so many good friends. It was not just losing my best friend in life and followed shortly with losing my dog Harry. These things take their toll, but are not entirely responsible for my aged feelings of late. It’s different, all different. One realizes this change when you admit to a few things that you heretofore ignored or didn’t admit. Take, for example, the simple task of going to the kitchen for a second cup of coffee. Most often, I elect not to go for that, as it is too much effort, and besides, it’s hard to carry a cup of coffee with a cane. It’s clear that you are getting on in age when everyone opens the doors for you, cane or no cane. It’s the message that you look old, despite dressing carefully to stay in fashion. It’s clear that you’re getting older when you think you’re fashionable until, suddenly, you realize that Crocs are old people’s shoes. It’s clear that you are “getting on” when nice people offer their table in restaurants when they see you standing and waiting for a table. It’s obvious that the leaves are turning when you choose to take the electric cart at the grocery store when you only have a few items to purchase. It’s even more clear when the bagger offers to carry your groceries out to your car, no matter how few items you may have. It’s disheartening when nice folks clear the way for you in a long line. Much of what I mention here is pure kindness on the part of other people. What is intended as a kind gesture, though, is somehow hurtful to my pride. Most of all, it’s devastating to

s e id R in a r T m Stea es working hard to

look in the mirror and see yourself for how you really look: the lines, the thinning hair, the thick glasses and the double chin are not easy to admit to oneself. I no longer look in a hand mirror at the back of my hair, because I don’t want to see the bald spot. Most devastating is when you realize that you’re “losing it.” You can’t keep your meds straight and take them at the right time, and rely on others to keep you on the straight and narrow in terms of when you should take fancy hourly pill boxes (and you still get messed up anyway). It is especially sad when you realize that one of your great loves of life is writing and you find it difficult to do that anymore, especially with regards to getting people’s names straight. Grudgingly, I have reconciled myself to the fact that I can no longer write fundraising or Acorn stories. It’s got to be my simple reports on other things that I know I can handle, at my own speed and with all pieces edited closely.

he good news for us oldsters is that you can sleep late, eat what you want, drink what you want, do what you want, see who you want, and watch TV to your heart’s content. If you have your sleeping meds on hand, you can eat what is okay for your diabetes diet, drink moderately with wine only, see who you want if they are up to your strange ways, and do what you want if you’re up to the effort, go out when you’re not too sick, watch TV if you like, and see who you want if they’re ready to pick you up because you no longer drive. Entertaining is a free zone; however, I have noticed that it gets harder and harder, and I now resent when no one stays to help clean up. Now, I can hardly get the dishes done before I collapse. It’s all mind over matter, and I have lots of matter still left in me, in spite of this tome. I was just kidding around.

Five years of helping people with legal trouble: Another milestone for Michigan Legal Help ichigan Legal Help (MLH) is five years old this month. Despite

its youth, Michigan Legal Help (MLH) is recognized throughout the state as the most reliable source for free, accurate, up-to-date tools and referrals for civil legal problems. It is also a model for programs developing similar resources across the country. The keys to its success have been the breadth and depth of its content, its outreach efforts, the many elements of the program, the fantastic contributions and support from partners, and the dedication of MLH staff. In addition to its fifth birthday, this month, MLH is also celebrating the Michigan State Bar Foundation’s announcement that MLH Director Angela Tripp is a 2017 recipient of the Access to Justice Award, which honors persons who have significantly advanced access to justice for the poor in Michigan. The most important component of MLH is the legal information it provides for people with legal problems. New content is always being added to the website, often in response to the requests of visitors. In the last year, MLH has added information about special education, how to make a will, unemployment benefits, and farmworkers’ rights, among others. MLH works hard to keep everything on the site up to date, which means staying on top of all changes to laws and practices in Michigan. In the past year MLH updated information to reflect the filing fee increase that took effect in 2016, and revised articles and replaced forms as needed to reflect changes to State Court Administrative Office court forms. MLH continues to close in on the goal of translating all of its content into Spanish for publication on its Spanish-language website, AyudaLegaldeMichigan.org. One of the easiest ways to measure the success of MLH is to look at data about how many people use the resources there. In its first five years, the Michigan Legal Help website had 11.6 million page views and 3.87 million visitors. In July 2017, there were about 29,000 visits per week. Traffic to the website increased by 20% in MLH’s fifth year. On MLH, visitors can easily complete the court forms they need in order to resolve their legal problems. In 2016 MLH visitors completed 86,824 sets of forms. (One “set” may include multiple forms necessary to carry out a legal case.) This is an average of 238 sets of forms completed each day, and represents a 38 percent increase from 2015. Another way that MLH helps people is through LiveHelp, an interactive, chatbased form of assisting website users without giving legal advice. From its launch in September 2013, LiveHelp has been available from 11 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday. LiveHelp agents, who are trained law student volunteers, interact with website visitors, helping them navigate the website and answering questions that do not require legal advice. In 2016 agents helped 7,775 people, an increase of 119 percent since 2015. MLH continues to grow and improve in many aspects beyond the publication of new content. For example, in 2016, MLH hired outside evaluators to assess how accessible the website is to users with vision and other disabilities. On the basis of their recommendations, MLH modified the website layout to improve both usability and accessibility. Also in 2016, MLH broke virtual ground on one of its most ambitious programs to date, the MLH Legal Help Finder. When this feature launches in September 2017, it will guide litigants to the most appropriate resources available to them along the continuum of services available in Michigan, from assisted self-help, to unbundled assistance, to full representation by an attorney. The system will use advanced logic trees to help identify a visitor’s legal problem and what services they qualify for, then direct the user to the most appropriate resources to resolve their problem, given what is available in the community. Michigan Legal Help has developed and continues to support a network of fifteen Self-Help Centers (SHCs) throughout the state. These are locations where visitors can go to access computers, printers, internet, and legal information (but not advice). In most cases, the centers are staffed by trained Navigators who help visitors find the legal information they need at Michigan Legal Help. For each new Self-Help Center, MLH staff conduct an on-site training for personnel from local courts, legal services, libraries, community organizations, and the host location. MLH provides continuing support in the form of quarterly webinars, additional trainings, and news updates. In the last year, MLH opened new SHC sites in Saginaw, Livingston, Alpena, and Grand Traverse counties and is are preparing to open more Centers this year in Jackson, Genesee, and Cass counties. A critical component of the MLH mission is to build strong partnerships with courts, legal services providers, lawyers, and community organizations to improve access to justice. To this end, MLH staff, and in particular, its director, Angela Tripp, participates in numerous statewide and national committees related to legal services delivery, as well as several SCAO forms committees. MLH is proud of its accomplishments so far, but there is always more work to be done. Stop by to see what resources are available from the first five years of MLH, and continue to visit to watch it grow. — STAFF REPORTS

From the Bleachers COLUMN BY KURT MARGGRAF IN CHICAGO

hat a great time of year. Baseball season winding up, football season beginning, hockey and basketball just around the corner. The weather has been so beautiful that the sun, not used to all the adulation it’s been receiving, went and hid behind the moon. Time to reflect and time to consider the future. As I mentioned last week, I got together with an old college roommate who I hadn’t seen in almost fifty years. Jon has been living in St. Louis, Missouri, and through Facebook, knew that I lived near Wrigley Field. Jon was coming to Chicago to see a Cub game. We met for breakfast and shared some old stories when Jon asked me if I remembered when he and I and a couple of our buddies had a pickup basketball game with some players on our school’s team. I vaguely recalled the game, and Jon filled in the details. Our opponents that fall day turned out to be some of the most remarkable players to ever play. The leader of our adversaries was Walt Frazier. We were freshmen and Walt wasn’t eligible that year so we didn’t realize just how good he was. The other opponents that day were Dickie Garrett and George Benson. I played basketball in the Chicago Public league and competed against some great players, some of whom went on to star for their college teams, but the three we played against at the park that day were head and shoulders above the rest. Frazier went on to be the fifth player chosen on the 1967 draft by the New York Knicks and was named one of the 50 best players to ever play in the NBA. Garrett was the 27th player chosen in the draft by the L.A. Lakers and played five years in the league and Benson was a great college player who was so tough and athletic that he was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1969 NFL draft, the same draft that produced O.J. Simpson. Jon and I both recalled beating them handily… okay, not really. They clobbered us, but fifty years later we think we remember that the game was fairly close. Just another advantage of growing old. Alright, enough about the past, let’s consider the future. I watched the Chicago Bears beat the Tennessee Titans 19-7 in a preseason game Sunday afternoon. The Bears looked pretty good and I believe they’ll be better than most people think this season. The player who impressed me most was Mitch Trubisky, the quarterback the Bears drafted in the first round this year. Trubisky may not be a factor in the coming season, but watching him play today gave me great hope for the future. As most of you know, the Bears haven’t had an all pro quarterback since hector was a pup, but this young man appears to have all the tools. What a glorious day it will be if Trubisky can lead the Bears back to the Super Bowl. Melody Beattie said, “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Be careful out there. Make good choices. Keep smiling. Talk to you next week. Peace, love, and happiness.

SAVE THE SHORE...

his coming Saturday, September 2, is an important day for our beach community. Our second community meeting will be held at the New Buffalo High School on Saturday, September 2, at 10:00 a.m. (Michigan time) and it is important that you plan on attending. We will review the mission of the New Buffalo Shoreline Alliance. Learn the history of the New Buffalo Harbor, and learn what the United States Army Corps of Engineers 2009 study recommended for a fix for the ongoing erosion problem. A presentation on the Conceptual Implementation Plan, a plan that addresses our erosion problem, will be made by Edgewater Resources. Edgewater Resources was founded with the goal of helping communities and landowners enhance their waterfronts, with a focus on planning, design, and engineering solutions based in economic reality. Edgewater is headquartered in St. Joseph, MI. and has extensive background in engineering solutions on Lake Michigan. Proposed funding opportunities will also be introduced. And finally, and most importantly, how you can help restore our beaches will be explored. The New Buffalo Shoreline Alliance (NBSA) team was formed to address the erosion/lack of sand problem along the southern shoreline of the community. The Alliance is made up of representatives and community members from Sunset Shores, Warwick Shores, Forest Beach Villas, Forest Beach Estates, and Grand Beach. For further information and to join the organization, contact newbuffaloshorelinealliance@gmail.com.

STATUES OF LIMITATIONS...

here are currently more than 700 Confederate monuments in our country. These monuments were built to honor politicians and generals who were so committed to the institution of slavery that they were willing to fight a bloody civil war in

order to preserve it. These individuals do not deserve to be honored with public monuments. Many of the Confederate monuments were erected between 1890 and 1920, a period of backlash against post-Civil War Reconstruction when freed slaves were allowed to vote and run for elective office. The message of the monuments was clear: white southerners were proud of those who perpetrated the Civil War and they were not about to allow former slaves to have equal rights political, legal, or otherwise. They were committed to replacing Reconstruction with Jim Crow segregation, intimidation, and persecution. Photographs of the dedications of many of these monuments prominently feature white-hooded members of the Ku Klux Klan. Lynchings of African-Americans were at their peak during this period of time. Other monuments to Confederate “heroes” were erected in the 1950s and 1960s, in reaction to the Civil Rights movement. The message, once again, was white supremacy, bigotry, and hate. The Confederacy does need to be remembered, in the same way, that the reign of the Nazis in Germany needs to be remembered. These evil institutions need to be remembered so that future generations can understand how they came about and how to make sure that they never happen again. In Germany, there are no public monuments to Nazis. The people of that country understand that Nazis do not deserve the honor, they deserve condemnation. The history of the rise of the Nazis is taught in schools and in museums so that people can learn how to avoid any recurrence of this evil regime. We in America need to follow the German example. Slavery was evil; those who perpetrated a war to preserve it should not be honored with monuments. The proper places for people to learn about the evils of slavery and the Confederacy are schools and historical museums. Current and future generations need to know the whole story of this terrible part of American history. — DOLORES E. MINKS

BISON FOOTBALL

yoming kicked off and NB marched to the 29 of WL and gave it up on downs. Wyoming marched 80 yards and Aridel Torres ran six yds for a touchdown, with a kick from Alex Deleon to put them up 7-0. New Buffalo stepped out of bounds on the 3 at the kick off and on the ensuing play fumbled in the end zone and Wyomong recovered for a touchdown with Aridel Torres kicking for 14-0. New Buffalo threatened at the 5 but Wyoming intercepted and ran 10 yards and ran out the clock to end the first half. The teams traded possession until at 10:36 left in 4th quarter when Giovanni Santiago threw a 42 yard pass to Tom Robinson for a touchdown. The PAT was no good. With 3:06 left Giovanny Santiago on a keeper for 6, PAT no good. New Buffalo threatened to score again with three minutes to go but fumbled and Wyoming recovered and ran out the clock to end the game 26-8. — STAFF REPORTS

NINA AND PINTA TO SAIL INTO MICHIGAN CITY

eplicas of Columbus’ ships, the Pinta and the Nina, will be docked at Michigan City Port Authority, 200 Heisman Harbor, in Michigan City, Indiana, from Wednesday, Sept. 6, until their departure early Monday morning, September 11. The Nina was built completely by hand and without the use of power tools. Archaeology magazine called the ship “the most historically correct Columbus replica ever built.” In 2005, the Pinta, also a caravel, was launched in Brazil and was the first ship to sight land in the New World. Historians consider the caravel the Space Shuttle of the 15th century. Both ships tour together as a new and enhanced “sailing museum” for the purpose of educating the public and school children on the “caravel,” a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the world. Before him, the Old World and the New remained separate and distinct continents and ever since, their fates have been bound together for better or for worse. While in port, the general public is invited to visit the ships for a walk-aboard, self-guided tour. Admission charges are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, and $6 for students ages 5 to 16. Children 4 and under are free. No reservations necessary. Teachers or organizations wishing to schedule a 30-minute guided tour with a crew member should call 1-787-672-2152 or email columfnd1492@gmail.com . Minimum of 15 students can tour the ship. The cost is $5 per person. Visit www.ninapinta.org. The ships arrive Tuesday, Sept. 5. There will be a private viewing of the ships for the media after docking. — STAFF REPORTS

Presentation of the “three oaks of Three Oaks

he Three Oaks Township Library will be hosting a talk by Robert Tatina on the three oaks of Three Oaks and the cause of their eventual demise during “The Tree Oaks of Three Oaks,” which is set to take place at the library at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 16. The Village of Three Oaks, Michigan was named for three oak trees that were left behind after the forests were harvested in the middle 1800s. Sometime between then and now, those trees have disappeared, leaving almost no trace. Tatina’s talk will attempt to answer these questions: Who were the three oaks? When and where were they last seen? What was the cause of their demise? Tatina’s illustrated presentation, which is based on “The Three Oaks of Three Oaks” published in the October 2016 Michigan History Chronicle by Tatina and Nancy Baird, is an exploration into the botany, history and forensic science that provides answers to those questions. Tatina, Ph. D., is a retired professor of biology and the author of several articles about the flora of the Berrien County. His wife, Nancy Baird, is a retired elementary teacher. They reside in Sawyer, but visit Three Oaks regularly to attend church, view movies and eat. Three Oaks Township Library is located at 3 North Elm Street in downtown Three Oaks. — STAFF REPORTS

David’s Deli: A Coffee Shop Concert

David’s Deli hosts Black Swift Music

David’s Deli concert series hosts Black Swift music

BY ALEXANDER FATOUROS

romatic coffee and live music filled the air last Thursday evening at David’s Delicatessen on historic North Whittaker in downtown New Buffalo, Michigan. In addition to serving as a hub of the local community, David’s Deli holds its own as a live music venue. Owners Joe Lindsay and Emma Brewster graciously opened their doors for a special after-hours concert. “Black Swift” performed hits from their new album release “SEE ME HUMAN” to a packed house. Band members Sally Grayson of “The Voice of Germany” fame; David Arzt on guitar; Bertram Oeler on bass; and Zar Monta Cola on drums strive to create a collective atmosphere of cheer and skyhigh spirits wherever they play. When it comes to songwriting, Sally Grayson shares her aesthetic: “I love writing in minor chords and creating soundscapes that are dark and often brooding, but I always need to find hope in the songs. Grayson continued, adding, “Black Swift music has been described as happiness in minor chords.” The 2017 “SEE ME HUMAN” USA Tour continues on to Cincinnati, Ohio; Louisville, Kentucky; Nashville, Tennessee; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Osh Kosh, Wisconsin [www. BLACKSWIFTMUSIC.com]. Could this be the start of a coffee-shop concert series? Local musicians Todd Hatfield and Jared Cortese played at the popular hangout during teatime a short time ago. Surrounded by original art, happiness and handcrafted goodness, David’s Delicatessen features extraordinary Rueben sandwiches of the traditional and vegetarian variety that are simply delish. Open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Tuesday 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Sunday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST. For more information call (269) 469-7177.

Part 2 of 7

IT HAPPENED IN WRIGLEY

BY KEVIN MURRAY | EDITED BY SARAH NOE

ack walked into the CUB’S dugout and down to the bowels of the stadium with dimly lit halls that led to a corridor which, opened to the area where the ball was being kept. Jack’s footsteps echoed as he walked down the corridor. The ball was sitting under a light inside a glass box that was about two feet by two feet. A guard wearing a blue uniform with gold stripes on the wrists of the sleeves was sitting in a chair nearby reading a newspaper. “Excuse me,” Jack said, “but where’s Bob? He is the guy I requested to guard the ball.” “Well, Mister…” “It’s Mr. DeVoss. Jack De Voss.” “Well you know, if you don’t have Jack, you don’t got squat. Ha-ha! Get it?” “Yeah, I get it. Hardy har har. I’m not laughing.” But he sort of was. The guard slowly rose from his chair and reached out to shake Jack’s hand. “I’m Ted, Jack, Please to make your acquaintance. Bob couldn’t make it, some kind of family thing, so I filled in and I’m in charge of this area now. Nobody is allowed back here, so how did you get in here?” “Okay Ted.” Jack was getting a little perturbed. This guard didn’t know who he was and he was about to find out. Jack was clenching his jaw. “Listen up, Ted. Like I said, I’m Jack DeVoss, and I hate to trouble you, but, I need to borrow the ball, just for a little while.” “The ball isn’t going anywhere. At least until tomorrow when I take it over to Harry Caray’s Restaurant. I have my orders, and who are you again, exactly?” “As I said before. I’m Jack DeVoss, and I just paid $113,000 for that ball.” Jack pointed to the glass box. “Seems like a lot of money for a little ball,” Ted said casually. There was a slight pause. Jack couldn’t believe the gall of this guy. Who did he think he was? “It is a lot of money Ted. But listen, that’s not the point. It’s very important- no, it’s imperative that I take the ball for a few hours.” “Okay, Jack, is it? You listen up, I work here for the CUBS organization, and I don’t care about you and this little ball here, and frankly, I don’t get why a ball sitting in a case needs a guard. Did this ball kill someone?” “You’re kidding right? This is the Bartman ball. Moises Alou? The playoff game?” “Yeah, uh, no. I don’t remember anything like that. I don’t really follow baseball very much, and I’m not actually from Chicago. I’m from Detroit. Just moved here, me and the Mrs. I’m more of a football and hockey fan. I like the Bears and Blackhawks, if that helps.” Jack put his hand to his mouth and started pacing, thinking of how to retort to this upstart. “Ted, how familiar are you with the history of the CUBS?” “Not really familiar. I know they used to lose a

lot.” “Well, if you give me a few minutes, I think I can fill you in on who these ‘losers’ you refer to, are.” “Go ahead. I get paid by the hour, so talk slow if you want to.” Ted folded his newspaper and placed it on the table next to him. “You’re a funny guy, aren’t you, Ted?” “Nah, just a pain in the ass, as my wife says.” Ted took the paper and smacked the table. “Turn around Ted, look behind you.” Ted obliged. “You see those jerseys on the wall? You see those jerseys on the wall? The ones that say Billy Williams, Ron Santo, and Ernie Banks?” Ted stared at the jerseys on the wall. “Yeah, I see ‘em, so what”? “They were the core of the CUBS. All Hall of famers. Jack paused for a second then thought of something. “Did you know the CUBS won back to back World Series in 1907 and 1908?” The first team to win a back- to-back World Series. Ted turned back around and looked at Jack. “Actually, I never knew that.” “Well, the CUBS have always had something exciting about them. You ever hear about the story of Babe Ruth pointing to center field with his bat and then hitting a home run, to center field?” Jack pretended to bat as Babe Ruth and pointed his arm out toward an imaginary center field and then swung as if he’d hit the ball. “Heck, everyone’s heard of that story. That’s history man.” “Well, that was against the CUBS, World Series, 1932! Here in Chicago.” “No kiddin’? I actually never heard that one. Okay, what else you got?” “Where’d you say you were from? Detroit?” “Yeah, that’s right or Detwah as we say.” Ted said trying his best at a French-Canadian accent. “Guess who, the CUBS played against in the last World Series?” Jack pauses. “The Detroit Tigers.” “No way, what year? “You yankin’ my chain Ted?” “No, I’m not. Like I said, I don’t really follow baseball.” “It was 1945, and a lot of stuff happened in that series.” Ted was leaning in, seemingly taking an interest in what Jack is going to say next. “Well, what happened in that series is what has plagued the CUBS ever since. It’s the curse.” “Whaaat? What curse? What are you talking about?” “Okay, it’s the World Series, seventh game I think, and the owner of the Billy Goat Tavern is trying to bring a goat into the stadium. He calls his goat ‘Murphy.’ But the Andy Frain ushers won’t let him go through the turn style. They tell him he can’t bring a goat into the stadium. So, the guy swears at him and says the CUBS are cursed and will never win another World Series. He even sent a telegram to Mr. Wrigley telling him that he and the team

are cursed. They haven’t gone to the World Series since.” “Not one time?” “Not ever. You remember 1969? Those amazin’ Mets?” “Oh yeah, I heard about them.” Jack took off his jacket set it on a chair, then rolled up his sleeves and puts one foot on the chair. “Well, up until September of that season, The CUBS were in first place. A shoo-in to get into the World Series. They had an eight game lead. Could do no wrong…Then, the wicked curse reared its ugly head again.” “Let me guess. Collapse?” “Like a house of cards in a windstorm.” “That’s a bummer.” “You’re telling me. Now, fast forward to 1984. The CUBS were up two games to none against the San Diego Padres. Best of five series. Fell apart. Lost the series 3 games to 2.” “Some bad luck there, I guess.” “Now for the cherry on top. Fast forward to last fall. CUBS up three games to two in the championship series. Winner goes to the World Series. CUBS are up three to nothing in the game. Then Louis Castillo, batting for the other team, comes and hits a routine fly ball to left field. It drifts to the wall, and just as Moises Alou is about to catch the ball, this Steve Bartman dude reaches out from the stands, over the wall and prevents Moises from catching it. The stadium went into a frenzy.” “So, this Bartman thing is because of the curse? What happened to him?” “Bartman, was hated so much, I’m thinking he skipped town, went to South America, and got plastic surgery so people wouldn’t recognize him.” Ted was on the edge of his chair eating up every word, like a kid glimpsing his first fire truck. “Oh man! So..what happened next? “Well, the fans have all agreed that we should destroy the ball Bartman touched. They think if we do that, the curse will be lifted.” “Will it?” “Here’s the thing- I know I paid well north of a hundred grand for that ball. I know it’s related to the curse. I thought if we destroyed it, our prayers would be answered. But the thing is, I need to get something verified from a very important person. I need to take the ball, just for a few hours. I’ll bring it back. I swear.” “Man, you and your city got more problems. Here.” Ted opened the glass case and handed Jack the ball. “Take it, man. Just be sure to bring it back, or my butt is on the line.” “Thanks Ted. I got you covered. The city and CUBS fans all over the world will thank you…..I hope.” Jack took the ball, placed it in his coat pocket then walked back outside to hail a cab. One drifted to the curb and Jack opened the back door. “Listen, I have a very important errand to run and it involves a long ride to New Buffalo Michigan.”

HOROSCOPE

AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6, 2017 AS INTERPRETED BY SANDY “STAR” BENDT

ARIES MARCH 21—APRIL 19 You won’t be content with sticking with the normal routines this week. You’ll want to break away from stagnant situations or people who are not fueling your spontaneous attitude. Utilize this vibe by considering where you want to go on vacation or what areas you would like to study.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 22 Unusual connections or people from the past will dominate your week. Perhaps some de ja vu experiences or feelings, like you have encountered this situation or person in a past life is very likely. The feeling that you have been through this before, may be the thing that keeps you feeling centered, now.

TAURUS APRIL 20—MAY 20 You can expect a lot of shuffling around this week. Whether you are rearranging your furniture, or moving things from one home to another, you’ll be carrying some heavy loads. On another note, it will be hard for you not to blurt out the truth when confronted with people expecting too much from you.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23—NOVEMBER 21 You will be feeling more passionate about your career and reputation this week, giving you the courage to engage others in pursuit of more business. Use this vibration to its fullest by following up on old leads or previous job opportunities. Go over any issues you had in the past that were areas of trouble.

GEMINI MAY 21—JUNE 21 Expect to feel a definite breakthrough in your relationships. Especially those with women, like your mother or best girlfriend. If you have been estranged or out of contact with female friends, you will feel a reconnection or a sense of closure on some issue with them.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22—DECEMBER 21 Getting things done right and in ways that put your best interest first will take precedence over other people’s idea of a fair deal. Sometimes you tend to let others get a better deal because you feel content with what you have received, but you will not accept anything but equality this week.

CANCER JUNE 22—JULY 22 Hard work and dedication will start to pay off this week. Don’t shy away from putting in the overtime on creative projects or domestic chores. Let work and chores capture your attention and you will be pleased with the results.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22—JANUARY 19 This will be a week of high strangeness on the home front. Expect to find some long-lost items, where you least expect them to be, almost as if they have returned from beyond. Certain items may carry with them an emotional component or bring about some form of release.

LEO JULY 23—AUGUST 22 This is a very transformative time and many different areas of your life will be undergoing some changes. Structures that you felt were stable may start to waffle this week and things that you perceived as unstable may prove to be a stabilizing force that you can count on.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20—FEBRUARY 18 It’s one thing to speak your mind, but if you are saying things to solely get a rise out of someone, then you may want to stop yourself before you make a bad situation worse. This is not the time to create discord or be adversarial with others. Take the time to talk intimately about issues.

VIRGO AUGUST 23—SEPTEMBER 22 A little down time will go a long way now. Reboot your mind and creative juices by taking some me-time. Whether you get a massage or sleep in, anything that turns your focus inwards will help you communicate more clearly with troublesome people.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19—MARCH 20 This is a week where you’ll find solutions to work or career problems. Solutions may appear a bit unusual on the surface, but don’t let the squeamish or the conformists keep you from branching out. Create a presentation that is clear and outlines all the benefits of a new system.
