Heights tables video gambling action Aldermen will weigh in Tuesday by Jeff Vorva staff reporter The Palos Heights City Council on Tuesday tabled any action on allowing the licensing of video gambling machines in establishments licensed to serve liquor in the city until after it holds a special committee-of-the-whole meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall. After that, aldermen could vote on the issue at the council meeting on June 18. Aldermen on the council’s licensing and permits committee had deadlocked by a vote of 2-to-2 the week before on whether to recommend to the full City Council whether to lift the city’s ban on video gambling . Despite the tabling of the issue by the council, Mayor Bob Straz invited members of the audience to speak their minds on the topic and several points of view were heard and debated. “The restaurant industry has been decimated because of the smoking ban of ’09 and their profit margins for food and liquor are low,” said machine operator Mike Pappas, of Fair Share Gaming in Tinley Park. “Now add to this, the increased competition and services that bars and restaurants in surrounding communities offer. We are asking for an

opportunity for the same services that our surrounding communities have.” Pappas has noted that Worth, Crestwood and Palos Hills are among neighboring suburbs that derive revenue from video gambling in bars and restaurants licensed to serve liquor by those municipalities. Some people in town don’t want to see video poker and slot machines come to Palos Heights because of the potential for addiction. Good government in a free society does not rely on human weakness to fund its budgets, is the basis of the League of Women Voters and other groups’ opposition to the extension of legalized forms of gambling in Illinois. “It’s very addictive and something that leads to heavier gambling,” said resident Beth Paschall, a member of the League of Women Voters of the Palos-Orland Area who has been active in past campaigns against the spread of legalized casino and other forms of gambling across Illinois. “I hope that you will keep the ban on video [gambling] here.” Pappas replied he is not a gambler and that he respects nongamblers’ opinions, but he doesn’t think their opinions should be imposed on others. Gaming machine operators split 70 percent of the take from the machines with the licensed es-

tablishments, the state’s cut is 25 percent, leaving the locality with 5 percent of every dollar lost by a bettor in the machine, Paschall told the city’s licensing panel last month. Former Mayor Dean Koldenoven returned a second time to address aldermen on the issue. Noting there is an ordinance on the books to keep video gambling out of town, he urged that if the City Council considers reversing that, it should be a two-thirds vote of aldermen, not just a simple majority. Trio Restaurant part-owner Mike D’Antonio said his industry is hurting and this is an important means to help. “People don’t understand the severity of what we go through,” he said. “People with gambling problems can do down the street to another community to gamble, but what about us? We invested a lot of time, money and energy into our restaurants for the past three years, five years, eight years…does anybody worry about us possibly going out of business because this possibly can’t get passed? “This is very critical for us to survive.’’ Teresa Szybowicz, a senior relationship manager at Accel Entertainment said that if 17 establishments in the city have video gambling, the city stands

Alderman Michael McGrogan (4th Ward), the chairman of the License, Permits and Franchise Committee which first brought the video gaming proposal to the council’s agenda, said that he hopes to have this matter resolved in the coming weeks. This is the first time the full council discussed the topic, aired in meetings of his panel twice in the last month, and once prior. McGrogan said that because of Illinois gaming commission rules, background checks and investigations, it could take eight or nine months after approval before the first video machine comes to town.

He said he hoped that all of the aldermen can have their questions answered at Tuesday’s committeeof-the-whole meeting and that the process of adopting an ordinance for this issue could come at the June 18 meeting.

Stop sign Also Tuesday, the council gave the green light to erect stop signs at the intersection of 69th Avenue and 122nd Street. Aldermen quickly approved the stop sign by a vote of 7-to-one. Alderman Dolores Kramarski (3rd Ward) voted against it, citing that another set of stop signs in that area wouldn’t be a good idea be-

cause “stop signs don’t work, and kids on bikes have a false sense of security.” The intersection was the scene of a rollover accident on April 30 and other serious accidents over the years. Nearby residents have been asking for stop signs there since 2009. The council also voted to trim trees on its corners up to 10 feet to increase visibility, and to conduct a traffic study of 122nd Street between Harlem and Oak Park avenues. Because this will be the fourth set of stop signs on that stretch of 122nd the council wants to gauge if all of them are needed. — Jack Murray contributed to this story.

Orland plans user-friendlier village website by Jeff Vorva staff reporter The village of Orland Park plans on rolling out a more colorful, easier to navigate website in August, but the most important change may not even happen within the browser. One of the bigger changes will be with the website address. Assistant Village Manager Ellen Baer told the Village Board’s Technology, Communication and Community Engagement Committee on Monday that the current address, orland-park.il.us will change to orlandpark.org. “The old address could be a little cumbersome,” Baer said. “And that might allow us to change our email addresses as well.”

Eliminating the hyphen and a couple of symbols might not seem to be all that vital, but Baer said this is an improvement. “The trouble is that if you tell people to use a hyphen they don’t always know what that is and if you say dash, it’s a little confusing,” she said. “We just thought if we could do away with that little bit of confusion in the middle, it will be more desirable so orlandpark.org is where we’re headed toward. It comes into greater confusion when people are trying to reach us directly. They have to physically type the email address in. It can be much more confusion.” Hundreds of people responded to a survey about improving the website and improving the

navigation was a top concern, Baer said. More than a thousand people have shown interest in a Notify Me feature in which residents can sign up to receive emails or other communications to them at the same time the information hits the website, Baer added. “There is a significant amount of people who want this service,” Baer said. “The good thing about Notify Me is that you can select what you want to be notified about. If all I am interested in is the job and employment selection, I can just select that. If I am interested in everything, I can select that. You can go in and change it anytime you want.

Dist. 135 may re-hire fired special ed. staffers by Jeff Vorva staff reporter The Orland School District 135 school board could vote on Monday to reverse the firing of three Park School paraprofessionals by the previous board and allow Special Education Director Ellen Belotti to remain at her post. The board is to meet at 7 p.m. at the district’s Administration Center, 15100 S. 94th Ave. It’s one of the first big controversies the new board, which was seated in May, faces. Three members of the audience at a board meeting last month held at Centennial School addressed the Park School controversy. It went public when parent John Russell told the board in early March that his 4-year-old special needs son was left unattended in a classroom at Park School, 9960 W. 143rd St., last October and might have ingested soap. The father said the incident was not reported to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services until February. The board accepted the resignaPhoto by Jeff Vorva tion of a special education teacher and Belotti at that meeting, however Belotti’s resignation is not scheduled to take place until Orland Days wrapped up on Sunday after the Lions Club had a five-day festival run at the Metra June 30.

reasons why because of confidentially laws. Joe LaMargo, who was a board member at the time, sent out public statements disagreeing with the decision. During an April 8 meeting, Russell was back and armed with documents of the findings and conclusions of the board through the Freedom of Information Act and spoke before the board, publicly highlighting alleged abusive comments made by staff members. Some of the incidents and quotes drew gasps from the audience. The three paraprofessionals were dismissed because some members

of the board the board said they were “dishonest” and “untrustworthy” during the investigation when asked if employees in their classroom said anything inappropriate or unprofessional toward parents or students, according to the board’s findings.

It’s possible Ellen Belotti could remain as District 135’s special education director even though she resigned in March after negative incidents were made public regarding the treatment of special education students at Park School.

Ruse burglaries on rise: Be aware of their tricks From Palos Park Police Chief Joe Miller Burglars are always finding new tricks and methods when it comes to burglarizing a home. The “distraction” burglary is a con game really. Distraction burglary is where a “visitor” comes to your home, tells you some lie to swindle their way into your home, or creates a ruse to distract the victim so an accomplice can slip in, which is the most common method. The most frequent target for these distraction burglaries are the elderly and vulnerable. A distraction burglary involves witty manipulation, and if you don’t know the signs, you may fall victim to this type of crime, even if you have burglar alarm in place. Here is some information and tips to help you be aware of someone attempting a distraction burglary. The average age of a victim of a distraction burglary is 81 years old. The whole point of this operation is to distract you enough that it draws you out of your home, while an accomplice that’s unseen by the homeowner sneaks in the back door, or the front depending on the “con.” For example, the distraction burglar will pose as a roofer, tree trimmer, city worker, or even as an employee of a utility company. Some have even gone as far as posing as someone in distress, such pregnant female having car trouble. Then the “utility worker” distracts the homeowner by walking them outside the residence to show them the “problem,” such as curb that needs painting or future work that needs to be done. So while the owner is distracted by the “utility worker,” a second accomplice, which is never seen by the homeowner, enters the unlocked home and steals cash, jewelry, or any electronics he/she can get their hands on. Popular schemes a distraction burglar will use to lure you out of your home: Bogus emergency This scheme is used more often than others. A “utility worker” will arrive at your doorstep claiming there’s a gas leak or flood in your road and that he has to come in to turn off your supply. While you’re down in the basement, or wherever the burglar needs you to be, his partner swoops in while you’re distracted with the “emergency.” The Sympathy Card This tactic has the best chance in getting your distraction. This is more or less like the “I lost my dog” con. A burglar can knock on your door and tell you he desperately needs your help with whatever situation he/she is in. For example, “I’ve broken

down, can I please use your phone?” or “I’ve run out of gas, could I borrow some money or a gas can?” Not only are you giving them a chance to burglarize your home, but they’re also getting a better look inside your home in the event they are unsuccessful in gaining entry into your home at that very moment. The Old Friend Burglars will often use the line “I’ve dropped in to see my aunt/friend who lives next door, but she’s out at the moment. Could I borrow a pen and paper to leave a note?” If you’re a good neighbor, 9 times out of 10 you will help this stranger in getting in contact with your neighbor. While the “old friend” is recounting stories of the past, the accomplice is inside of your home helping himself to your valuables. Protect yourself So what can you do to protect yourself from the “distraction burglar?” Five tips that will help you prevent the distraction burglary: If you’re not sure who the person is behind your door, don’t open it! No one said you’re obligated to open the door. If the “con” is so convincing, call a neighbor or friend nearby to come along and check the perimeter of your home, or check on the visitor before opening your door. If you are successfully lured outside of your home, make sure to lock the door behind you. Most importantly, make sure all entryways leading into your home are locked as well. This includes doors, windows, and the garage. If you ever do find yourself in the position where you may have to help someone, refer them to a younger neighbor, or assist them through a window or closed door. You can also call a neighbor or friend nearby to come and help. If you’re unsure about the nature of one’s visit, don’t open the door Ruse (distraction) burglaries are bad enough as it is, but if a burglar is unsuccessful in burglarizing your home at that very moment, he can also case out your home at the same time. Burglars are very cunning and deceptive; they have lots of tricks up their sleeve to sabotage your home security. Remember, this is your home and you need to protect yourself from all the dangers out there. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and demand answers. Distraction burglars rely on you being trusting, nice and not the kind of person to offend someone. The distraction burglary can bring an overwhelming result. Victims can lose their peace of mind and confidence, not to mention valuables and possessions. Be wary every time you open the door, and most importantly, be safe!

View from Trinity by Dr. Steven Timmermans

Sure signs of summer As colleges, high schools, and grade schools are emptying out for the summer, many of us are making plans for the summer weeks and months that stretch ahead. As I anticipate summer, three categories stand out for me as they may for you: travel, guests and projects. Colleges and universities are eager to welcome international students who travel to our campuses and stay until graduation. While such students are desirous of American degrees, their impact extends well beyond their own learning. Who would you rather hire in today’s business environment: A young person from the area who has limited global exposure? Or, a young person from the area who has roomed with a student from Africa, worked collaboratively with a student from Korea on a course project, and played soccer with a student from the Dominican Republic? A campus with international students impacts the learning of all students. So, my travel plans this summer include a trip to China, as we expect our numbers of Chinese students to grow. Having friends and family visit is a splendid summer opportunity! Sure to please is a visit to Chicago to stroll Navy Pier, to catch a Grant Park Orchestra concert at the Pritzker Pavilion, or to shop the Magnificent Mile. At Trinity, we will have guests from the other side of the world and from nearby. For example, the summer kicks-off with a

workshop for pastors from Korea; their treat will be heading down to Millennium Park. And, later, students from Chicago area Noble Charter Schools will be on campus to participate in a three-week precollege program. Between travel and guests, one of the most shared common experiences for all are the projects we endeavor to complete. I checked one website that offered suggestions such as making a home-brewed solution to eliminate ants or building an underwater camera housing. But most of us don’t have to go looking for projects; they are usually unavoidable, begging for our ingenuity and elbow grease. Maybe you’ll work indoors, replacing carpeting as we’ll be doing in the Huizenga Library; or, ratcheting up the goal a bit, do some bathroom and kitchen remodeling as we’ll be doing in our Tibstra residence hall. More often, however, outdoor work compels us — at least until we hit a string of 90 plus degree days. Perhaps you’ll be working on the driveway or digging in the flower beds. At Trinity, we’ll be repaving part of our entrance road, and some of our students are planting a garden. Traveling, hosting guests, embarking upon a project, or stepping into literally hundreds of summer possibilities. Summer calls. Be sure to answer!

Readers Write Father Rudcki gave us our own Palos Symphony Dear Editor: Out of town last week, we missed Father Stanley Rudcki’s beautiful requiem service at St. Alexander Church. However, I just wished to

point out that the Palos Fine Arts organization sponsored two symphony concerts at the Moraine Valley Fine and Performing Arts Center, conducted by Father Rudcki. For these concerts and many more concerts performed at St. Alexander’s Church, Father called the ensemble the “Palos

Symphony”, in honor of our community. This seems to have been forgotten in obituaries written during the past few weeks. It is a very old tradition in music circles that an orchestra, which is assembled by a conductor, can be named by the conductor as well. And in this

case, Father Rudcki named the orchestra and was the glue that held it together. It is a great sadness that with his passing, there may be no one to take up the baton, although there is always hope. Cynthia Weglarz Palos Park

The Supreme Court’s self-created quagmire

When the U.S. Supreme Court declared legislative prayers constitutional 30 years ago, the justices sent a convoluted message to legislatures, city councils and other government bodies: You may open your sessions with prayer, a tradition that dates back to the founding of the Republic. But don’t exploit the prayer opportunity “to proselytize or advance any one, or to disparage any other, faith or belief.” (Marsh v. Chambers, 1983) Since nobody can agree on what that means, Americans have spent the last three decades debating and litigating who gets to pray — and what they can say — without running afoul of the Court’s murky guidance. On May 20, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case, Town of Greece, NY v. Galloway, which may finally clear up some of the confusion surrounding the constitutionality of saying prayers at the opening of a government meeting. For years, the Town Board in Greece, New York arranged for local clergy to begin the board’s public meetings with prayer. Although the town occasionally invited non-Christians to pray, the vast majority of the prayers were from the majority faith. Last year, the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the town’s prayer policy unconstitutional because “the process for

selecting prayer-givers virtually ensured a Christian viewpoint.” In their appeal to the Supreme Court, town officials argue that there was no discrimination in determining who got to pray — and nothing was done to use the prayer opportunity to promote or denigrate any religion. Whether the Greece Town Board wins or loses, the Court’s decision in the case may provide some answers to the messy questions the Court left unanswered 30 years ago in Marsh: Must government officials require all invocations to be non-sectarian prayers so as to avoid proselytizing? Does it pass constitutional muster to rotate prayer-givers among local faith communities? If most of the prayer volunteers are Christian, is the town or city required to recruit other faith representatives to ensure a greater variety of prayers? Of course, attempting to answer these questions will likely lead to more questions, such as if and when to include the one fourth of the U.S. population with no religious affiliation. As if on cue, a few days after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the Greece, NY case, an atheist member of the Arizona House of Representatives gave the “daily prayer” by giving a message that wasn’t prayer. The prayer-free invocation prompted considerable debate, including outrage from a Christian lawmaker who insisted on having two prayers the next

day to make up for the missing prayer. The brouhaha in Arizona illustrates the complexity of the issue before the Supreme Court, a complexity the Court itself created when it ruled legislative prayers constitutional 30 years ago. Short of reversing Marsh by prohibiting opening prayers at legislative sessions (which this Court is very unlikely to do), the only fair alternative would appear to be a “prayer policy” that includes everyone by rotating among the bewildering variety of faiths and beliefs represented in the most religiously diverse society in the world. Or the Court could mandate general, universal “to-whomit-may-concern” prayers that, in the end, satisfy no one (and exclude the nonreligious). What the Supreme Court must not do, however, is allow any government body to endorse one faith over others by opening meetings with Christian prayers week after week. If “no establishment” under the First Amendment means anything, it means at least this: The government may not take sides in religion. Charles C.

Pat Bouchard, local journalist helped found the Crisis Center by Jeff Vorva staff reporter When Pat Bouchard wrote columns for the Regional News and Reporter in the 1980s, readers were never sure what they were in for. But it usually wasn’t going to be an easygoing read. While she concentrated on trying to keep local government officials on their toes, she was outspoken on a ton of other topics, from Grenada to Nazis and sometimes got into heated arguments with co-workers in the office on columns she penned due to her left-of-center viewpoint. Genevieve “Pat” Bouchard died last Thursday at age 85 at Autumn Leaves of Orland Park care center. She had served approximately three decades as a journalist, editor and columnist in the area who once ran for the mayor of Worth in 1981. Pat Bouchard had an eye — and opinion — for the odd stories in the news. For instance, on Sept. 4, 1986, she highlighted an item about 92year-old Rudolph Hess — Adolf 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

Pat Bouchard that are carried into our homes by the nightly newscasts,” she wrote. “Why should a Nazi suffer less than the rest of us?” If Mrs. Bouchard couldn’t come up with the right sentiment herself, she would find someone who did. Once she found a news nugget 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. “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.” Mrs. Bouchard was also a columnist for other area newspapers and was a past president and founding board member of the Crisis Center for South Suburbia. She remained active for 26 years with the Crisis Center, serving as board president from 1985-89. At one time, she was the editor of The Reporter when the paper was owned by the Roelofs family, and she went toe-to-toe and locked horns with then-Regional editor Charles Richards. “Of all the editors they had, she was by far the best,” Richards said. “She was tough. It was difficult for the Regional to compete with her. She beat me more times than I beat her as far as timeliness and depth of a story. She was a key to the success of the Worth-Palos Reporter.” When the Richards family bought the Reporter in 1986, Charles Richards hired her on as a columnist. “A large number of people knew of her work and I respected her work,” Richards said. “When she started doing columns for us, her humor began to come out. She was a good columnist for us.” Pat Bouchard ran for Worth mayor in 1981, bucking up in a three-way dance against incumbent Dan Kumingo and fellow challenger Arthur Gnech. Kumingo won his second term, with 1,673 votes followed by Bouchard (822) and Gnech (376). “She was a good public watchdog for the people and the village of Worth,” Kumingo said Monday. Mrs. Bouchard was the wife of the late Robert Bouchard and the mother of Bobbie (Bill) Bain, Mark Bouchard, Patricia Bouchard (B. Lynn) Case, the grandmother of four and great grandmother of one. Visitation was Tuesday at the Schmaedeke Funeral Home in Worth. A Mass was offered at St. Julie Billiart Church in Tinley Park on Wednesday. Interment was at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.

Boxer burns away the cholesterol How about this for a boxing nickname — the Cholesterol Kid? Well, he’s not quite a kid. But let’s not let the facts get in the way of a good nickname. Bill Hackett, 52, of Orland Park, is a late bloomer in the boxing game. He’s an amateur in the master’s division and fought once at the Riviera Country Club in Orland Park in March. He trained hard for a bout that was supposed to take place Saturday night at Zante Lounge in Palos Hills. But his opponent was a no-show. “I guess technically I won by default,” he said Monday morning. “But I would have rather have fought. I was all stretched out. I was ready to go.” Hackett said he hopes for another match at Riviera in July or August. Laura Bollin of The Reporter — our sister paper — interviewed Hackett last week in preparation for what he was hoping would be his second encounter in the ring and he told her that one of the reasons he turned to boxing was because of his cholesterol. “When I turned 45, my cholesterol got close to 200,” Hackett said. “My doctor put me on Crestor, and I didn’t see a noticeable difference. I read an article about the merits of kickboxing, and I joined LA Boxing in Tinley Park. It changed my life. All it took was a couple of ferocious workouts during the week, and conditioning twice a week.” Hackett told The Reporter’s reporter that “Fight Night” organizer John Gigliotti approached Hackett and asked if he had ever been in a competitive fight. “I said, ‘Me? I’m an old man, I can’t fight!’” Hackett said. “Boxing is an incredible feeling of accomplishment. I saw my primary care physician before I fought the first time, and he said I had the insides of a 30-year-old. He could not believe how good my cholesterol was. He was amazed. It was a total change for me.”

Reporter’s Notebook by Jeff Vorva from June 26 to Sept. 19. Coleman, a Zion native, was one of the most popular television personalities of the 1980s when he played Arnold Jackson in the TV comedy “Diff’rent Strokes.” His phrase “Whatchoo talkin’ about, Willis?” was huge and iconic. I think it would have been cool to hold this tribute at the Willis Tower, but that’s just me. Anyway, this kid actor went through a lot of stuff in his life as he aged. He sued his parents for misappropriation of his assets. He declared bankruptcy. He had two kidney transplants. He never grew to more than 4-foot-7. He tried committing suicide twice. He tried running for governor of California. He died May 28, 2010 at age 42, two days after falling down stairs and hitting his head. Coleman’s parents, William and Sue Coleman, have donated many

of his personal and professional artifacts to the museum and will both appear in person at noon on July 20 to discuss Gary’s career and offer advice to parents who seek fame for their children.

Quote of the Week “‘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.” – the lead from a column written by Pat Bouchard in the Regional and Reporter Sept. 25, 1988. It was a piece on memory improvement. Mrs. Bouchard died at age 85 last Thursday.

Tips for pool safety Palos Park Police Commissioner Dan Polk has a list of swimming pool safety tips that can help keep children and adults out of harm’s way this summer. Polk recommends following these and other safety tips: • Never leave children, or elderly, unsupervised in or near a pool or hot tub. • Do not consider anyone drown proof because they’ve had swimming lessons. • Do not rely on flotation devices, such as Floaties, as a substitute for supervision. • Keep rescue equipment, including a telephone, near the pool and easily accessible at all times. • Remove all toys from the pool after use so children are not tempted to reach for them. • Refrain from consuming alcohol while swimming or su-

pervising others. • Remove pool covers completely before use and securely cover after each use. • Properly secure or lock doors and gates that lead to unsupervised pools. • Properly cover hot tubs when not in use. • Ensure that babysitters and all other users know, and follow, pool safety rules whether the pool is private or public. • Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and encourage others to do the same. • Never allow children to play in, or near, drainage ditches.

Trees matter at SW Montessori Visiting the children at Southwest Suburban Montessori in Palos Park, Lisa Jarmoszka, mother of pupils Mari and Matthew, presented the “Every Tree Matters, Every Tree Tell a Story” program from Morton Arboretum and BMO Harris Bank. The activity makes children more aware of the importance trees make in our lives. Large tags fluttered from trees at the school. The children hung them there as reminders of the many ways trees make people’s lives better: increasing home values, providing a place to relax, keeping summers cooler, providing cleaner air and even making streets quieter. The children came away with the knowledge that trees enrich our lives. Here, Jane Kohler, of Palos Park, affixes a tag to one of SWS Montessori’s favorite trees.

The unit of local government associated with each listed special assessment has reported the listed installment(s) as delinquent as of May 15, 2013. If you believe this list does not reflect a recent payment, contact the applicable unit of local government so that it may instruct the Cook County Treasurer’s Office to remove the delinquency from the list. Do not contact the Cook County Treasurer’s Office, as it has no independent authority to remove such a delinquency from the tax sale list. IF YOUR PROPERTY INDEX NUMBER IS LISTED IN THIS NOTICE, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO TAKE ACTION SO THAT YOUR SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS ARE NOT SOLD. The sale of special assessments will result in a lien that will add, at a minimum, hundreds of dollars in fees to the amount currently due. Sale of the special assessments and continued failure by the owner to redeem (pay) may result in the owner’s loss of legal title to the property. Payments of delinquent special assessments (prior to tax sale) must be paid by CERTIFIED CHECK, CASHIER’S CHECK or MONEY ORDER at the Cook County Treasurer’s Office, 118 N. Clark St., Room 112, Chicago, IL 60602. Please note that under Illinois law, the Treasurer’s Office cannot accept payments of delinquent special assessments after the close of the business day immediately preceding the date on which such special assessments are to be offered for sale.

Pick of the Litter By Dr. John R. Fleming, DVM â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; We spent Memorial Day weekend in Wisconsin taking our little buddy, Ebie, on many walks on trails. He loves to run and it was wearing me out keeping up with him. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Besides running a lot, we let him take all the time he wanted to root out little creatures from under the thick layer of leaves carpeting the forest floor. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; We took him out in the boat and he met hundreds of people at the Maifest in Jacksonport, Wis. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; While all that was fun, our worst fear was realized recently after we were shown an Ebieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MRI. He does have a brain tumor and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be investigating our options. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; During my reading, while Ebie was sleeping, I came across an interesting article in a medical journal, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recurrent vestibular paroxysms associated with systemic hypertension in a dog.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The authors describe the case of a 9-year-old female Australian Shepherd that was presented to the veterinary school for increased frequency of occasional acute onset neurologic signs, which included incoordination with vomiting and excessive drooling. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave out a description of the tests performed on the dog but suffice it to say this dog was worked up medically as well as a person would have been. Between episodes, the timing of which could be weeks, the dog was clinically normal. An episode of ataxia (incoordination) with central vestibular signs was induced by exercising her in the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; All blood tests were normal, as were findings on MRI. Her systolic blood pressure ranged between 180 and 200 and systemic hypertension was diagnosed. While

the dog received amlodipine and enalapril, blood pressure returned to the normal range and episodes of neurologic signs no longer occurred. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; When clinical signs later recurred, systolic blood pressure was again found to be high. Following an increase in medication dosage, blood pressure normalized, and only four further episodes were observed over the next 30 months. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The authors contend that this

dog was having Transient Ischemic Attacks due to hypertension. TIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are rarely recognized in dogs, and to the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge no prior clinical report exists. TIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are common in people with 50,000 a year occurring in the United States alone. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; They are defined as temporary, focal, brain (or retinal) deficits secondary to vascular disease that resolve completely in less than 24 hours. Deficits that last more than 24 hours are known

as cardiovascular accidents, or strokes, where TIAs are commonly referred to as mini strokes. TIAs represent a brief period of inadequate blood supply in the territory of the carotid or vertebrobasilar arteries, whereas VAs are caused by persistent occlusion of blood flow. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The 24-hour limit is arbitrary, and TIAs lasting this long in humans are rare. Most attacks last less than 30 minutes, and the median duration of clinical signs in the vertebrobasilar distribution is only eight minutes. Typical causes of TIAs in humans are thrombi and vasospasm related to systemic hypertension, atherosclerosis or diabetes. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Systemic hypertension concurrently affects 63 percent of patients. Long-standing high blood pressure causes atherosclerosis, and this, in turn, may lead to thrombosis, vasospasm, or both. Clinical signs of TIAs in people are well recognized as a major warning that a full CVA may occur later. No clinical reports of TIA in dogs exists, however, in a report describing strokes in dogs, a total of six dogs were reported to have had prior, less-than-10minute, episodes of self-resolving neurological abnormalities. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; In each of the six cases, the recurrent episodes were vestibular in nature and preceded a CVA affecting the rostral cerebellar artery. Fortunately in veterinary medicine easy to use devices for accurately measuring blood pressure in dogs are becoming more available. Veterinarians often see animals for unexplainable neuroSubmitted photo John Fleming takes his dog, Ebie, for a boat ride. Although the logic signs and the unexplainable duo had fun during a weekend trip in Wisconsin, there is dire news will undoubtedly continue until we are doing MRIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s routinely. regarding Ebieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health that has Fleming concerned.

Stock up on good health by Dee Woods

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Magicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leaf accelerates tissue healing â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Not too long ago, I wrote about comfrey leaf and its amazing healing properties. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The Native Americans and Greeks referred to comfrey as bone-knit and bone-set. The constituent in the leaf that gives it the greatest healing power is an alkaloid known as allantoin. I use it topically for everything from skin problems, sprains and bruising to a drawing poultice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a messy job cutting the leaves for use in a bath or soak, but I feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; In my research, I found comfrey is being studied for use in skin disorders such as rosacea. I also learned it is being used in skin care products and make up. The reason is obvious: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a healing herb and helps the skin retain moisture. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; As I opened my copy of the Health Sciences Institute newsletter, I found what I consider an exciting product that heavily relies on comfrey for topical healing and pain relief. The product

is combined with other known herbs and constituents to promote even faster healing while it eases pain. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The product is in the form of a gel that makes it a less troublesome application. I was researching the list of ingredients and it may be helpful to many of those who have injuries or damaged tissue. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Michele Cagan writes that the gel, known as Bruise, Strain and Tear Repair (BST), relieves crushing pain, makes bruises disappear, repairs damaged tissue and boosts circulation to accelerate healing. I know comfrey itself can eliminate bruises because I personally experimented and was shocked at how fast it worked. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Cagan states it is useful for broken bones, torn ligaments and cartilage, rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle pulls and tears, plantar fasciitis, impact bruising and post-surgical healing including plastic surgery. She explains

three potent healing herbs are contained in the gel. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; One constituent is arnica montana, a homeopathic healer shown in a 2012 animal study to improve healing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;surgically inducedâ&#x20AC;? wounds, and in a 2007 study was shown to reduced pain in carpal tunnel surgery patients much better than placebo. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Another constituent is comfrey, known as a bone and tissue healer; and the third healer is, of all things, rosemary oil. Rosemary oil boosts the blood flow to the injured area, â&#x20AC;&#x153;speeding healing and pain relief, and increasing flexibility. Increased blood flow also ensures that essential nutrients make their way to the injury site, and that tissue repair by-products can be flushed from the area quickly to help minimize swelling,â&#x20AC;? according to Cagan. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Added to the three ingredients is white willow bark (constituent in aspirin), plantain for tissue regeneration, Witch Hazel, thyme to help promote circulation, vi-

tamin C for collagen production, and cooling peppermint leaf to soothe the area. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; With my own experience using comfrey, I am looking forward to trying the gel and keeping it onhand. It would seem the power of the synergistic combination of ingredients would work better than comfrey alone. If you are prone to injuries or have kids who are, you may want to keep it on hand.

Take precautions against West Nile â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The Cook County Department of Public Health is advising area residents to be cautious and protect against the mosquito-transmitted West Nile Virus. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; The culex mosquito is the primary carrier of West Nile virus in the Chicago area, according to Cook County Health Department chief operating officer Terry Mason. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x153;During hot dry weather the mosquito, breeds in small pools of stagnant water,â&#x20AC;? Mason stated in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless basic prevention steps are taken to limit the risk, this water can easily accumulate around homes and put people at risk for the infection.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Among the most effective ways to prevent West Nile infection is to reduce exposure when mosquitoes are most active, especially between dusk and dawn. Fix or replace torn or missing screens

on doors and windows, get rid of areas water can accumulate mosquitoes can breed, and ensure rain gutters drain properly. Repel mosquitoes when outdoors by applying insect repellent with DEET and follow label directions, and report dead birds to the health department by calling 633-8025. â&#x20AC;&#x201A; â&#x20AC;&#x201A; Mosquitoes can transmit the virus to humans after feeding on infected birds. Most people infected with West Nile show no symptoms of illness and never become ill, but illness can occur three to 15 days after an infected mosquito bite. Symptoms include fever, headache and body aches. People more than 50 years old are at a higher risk for serious complications from encephalitis or meningitis.

Help elderly loved ones avoid financial abuse It’s unfortunate, but true: The elderly population may be the most vulnerable group in our society. In fact, in an effort to call attention to the problems of physical, emotional and financial abuse of the elderly, the United Nations has designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. If you have older parents, or even grandparents, can you do to anything to help prevent them from being victimized, especially with regard to their finances? Actually, there’s a lot you can do. First and foremost, you need to maintain good communications and a trusting relationship with your older family members. As long as these elements are present, you should feel free to make the following suggestions: • Increase awareness — When it comes to financial fraud and scams, many seniors think: “It can’t happen to me.” But the facts suggest otherwise: Some 20 percent of Americans over the age of 65 admit to having been victimized by financial swindles, according to a survey by the nonprofit Investor Protection Trust. Let your loved ones know that no one in their age group is immune to financial predators. • Guard private information — Ask your parents or grandparents to not divulge personal

Caroline’s Fashion Chat by Caroline Foreman

When the men get hot, they can also get dressed The warmth of summer is lurking nearby. This kleptomaniac troll seeks to suddenly swipe the layers off our backs and disorient us into a happy sun-glazed oblivion. Many ladies relish the changes brought about for our wardrobe, but what about the gentlemen? Summer is also a Sméagol-like creature posing pressing riddles to the men of Summertime Earth regarding their attire choices. Chaps, there are witty ways of answering those questions through a top list of wonderful items to optimize your spring and summer closet. Men’s fashion changes less frequently than women’s fashion, but the changes coincide. The overall direction of style for the gents indicates that a smart, casual look is in and sloppiness is certainly out. Perhaps an easy stepping stone into the seasonal looks would be the integration of the vibrant and bold bright colors seen on the men’s runways. These are not just pops of color on ties, pocket squares and shirt collars, these colors are all over and different hues are combined within the same ensemble. Accordingly, from red to bright green, orange to yellow, these vibrant brights create an instant mood brightener as well. Whispery pastel shades are also interesting and easy menswear items for the season. The new way to suit up is in a lighter-hued blue. It is a rich shade far lighter than navy. This is wonderful to mix with plaids

and checks in your undershirt as they look solid at a distance but reveal their pattern closer up. Another hit for the season is the inclusion of prints and exceedingly intricate graphic designs in menswear. Dainty florals were seen done surprisingly casually at Vivienne Westwood, while Bottega Veneta created a full faded floral suit with the unfaded form of the print worn only in the shirt beneath. Alexander McQueen brought forth full geometric patterned suits with matching shoes resembling the extremely detailed motifs of Gothic stained glass windows. Metallic accents and accessories, the classic camouflage print and the quilting technique are other runway hits sure to liven your wardrobe. In regards to stylistic notability, men can bring on the accessories! Light weight summer scarves are not just for Europeans anymore. Men can tie these around their burly necks for casual day wear accents. Totes are all over the menswear collections, in leather, canvas or metallic fabric. Canvas belts are a more season option along with iconic but now printed and color enhanced version of bow ties. Sunglasses, of course are everywhere from the aviator to horn-rimmed or even plastic and brightly colored. Shorts are ubiquitous spring/ summer hits worn with the hem anywhere from just under the knee to as high — and only as high — as mid-thigh. Ankle grazing and cropped trousers, cuffed or not, are the new men’s pant.

These are everywhere from casual bright pants to suits. Warm weather footwear this year includes the perfect crisp white shoes to be worn with everything. Grab plenty of transformative sneakers to be worn casually or in smarter ensembles. Rustic yet preppy chukkas are a cool alternate mixture of trainers and oxfords. Slip-on driving shoes worn sockless, brightly hued oxfords, low-heeled brogues and the inclusion of suede fabrics update the shoes of the man’s wardrobe. For tops, light printed tees like those at Kenzo are spring and summer go-tos. Denim chambrays for day can be paired with a jersey blazer top pull it together for night. These have underconstructed shape and the lack of shoulder pads, making them similar to a sweater jacket. They are light but still complete the outfit. Also this season offers knit jackets, unlined jackets in cotton or cotton-linen blend to have the feel of a cardigan made appropriate for warmer weather. Menswear jackets have plenty of subtle details, such as trenches with Monet-inspired inner lining, dotting patterns on coats and under collars and contrast stitching. Menswear this season calls for a feeling of playful boldness. Not to be confused with being “trendy,” that state of immature consumerism, rather, this collection of warmer weather items makes for a modernly chic and wearable closet of versatile options.

Marquette Bank honors Cachey Marquette Bank, a locally-owned neighborhood bank, is celebrating Theodore “Ted” Cachey for his 50 years of dedicated service as bank director on the bank’s Board of Directors. Cachey is the longest standing board member and serves on the Board of Directors for both Marquette Bank and Marquette National Corporation, the bank’s holding company. “As a well-respected attorney and accomplished real estate developer, Marquette Bank has been fortunate to benefit from Ted’s perspective over the past 50 years,” Paul McCarthy, chairman, said. “Ted has been instrumental in the success of Marquette Bank. When Ted joined Marquette Bank, we had only one office and $56 million in assets. Today, we have 25 locations and over $1.5 billion in assets. Ted has supervised much of our growth, personally selecting the sites for three of our most successful locations, including our Orland 159th, Orland 179th and New Lenox branches.” Real estate and home building is in Cachey’s blood. He started in the trades as a bricklayer for his father, Joseph Cachey, a stone mason who began buying, selling and developing real estate in 1927. After graduating high school, Cachey studied law and played guard on the

As captain, he helped lead the Wolverines to a 6-3 record in 1954. Cachey’s early experience as a young laborer on his father’s job sites fostered his ambition to expand the family business of professional home building. During his career spanning 60 years, Cachey ran a

successful law practice operating in tandem with the real estate development and building company his father started. Both the law practice and building business are located in Orland Park. Today, T.J. Cachey Builders Inc. II is operated by Cachey’s son, Tom Cachey, a well-respected commercial and residential builder, remodeler and developer.

High technology is beyond me

Paragraphs From This Old Stump by Carl Richards (1906-1988)

(From June 5, 1980) A Whitetail Deer stood still and posed in an early morning encounter last week. She seemed to have no fear of photographers, Viola Palo, editor of the Iron River, (Wis.) newspaper reported recently. by Viola Palo It was a photographer’s dream come true last Thursday morning as I was driving to work. How many times have you wished that a deer would stand still long enough so that you can snap a picture of it? This deer stood by the roadside and watched me, and I snapped three pictures through the windshield — imagine I got my usual good shot of the compass on the dash or the outside mirror. But as she made no move to run away, I eased the car door open all the while remembering that boss Dan told boss Leslie that it was a fatal mistake to open the car door. But she stayed still and I got out quietly and kept snapping. What do you say to a deer? Say she’s pretty

— stay still and keep snapping. She moved twice, but only a little ways. Now the experienced deer watchers tell me that she probably had a fawn hidden near by. But it was still a dream come true! Now if I could con myself into believing that I am not afraid of bears perhaps the next time I see one I could remember that I take pictures, that the bear probably wouldn’t hurt me, and that I could hold my hands steady enough to focus and snap. Spring has arrived in all its glory and the shimmer of new green leaves is beautiful on the hillsides against the darker green of the evergreens. The weather has been just glorious — the only thing wrong is the drought which makes everything tinder dry. The DNR has banned all open fires and cautions anyone using tractors and motors to be sure their exhausts do not start grass fires. It’s a good thing that there is an almost full moon for the smelters who are not allowed to build bonfires on the beaches.

(From June 6, 1985) This is the age of the computer. They are putting computers into the schools and teaching kids in the primary grades to use them. I wouldn’t know a silicon chip if I met one and “software” means flannelette pajamas to me, but my second-grade grandson understands these terms. High technology has wrought many wonders. When I was a child, we washed our clothes on a washboard, an instrument most children of today wouldn’t recognize if they saw one in a museum. A washboard is a flat, woodenframed, two legged piece of rippled metal that stands in a tub of soapy water. A second tub holds rinse water, a third holds bluing water. The three tubs sit on a wash bench. The clothes are wrung by hand. My mother had very strong hands and arms. She could wring a quilt and get all the water out of it. In all kinds of weather, the clothes were hung on an outside line. Sometimes they froze stiff. In rainy weather, it might take

days for them to dry. The first washing machines were clumsy brutes, hand-powered, but what a treasure women of that generation considered them, especially after the kids got big enough to furnish all the power. The electric washing machine was a godsend. But the clothes had to be fished out of the hot suds and hand-fed through a wringer into a basket. Wringers were dangerous, too. Once my small daughter grabbed at something going through the wringer. Her arm went through, up to her elbow. Frantically, I hit the release bar. Fortunately, her bones were still soft and she wasn’t injured, but the experience left me shaken for days. In those days, the clothes still had to be dried outside, unless one was lucky enough to have a large basement. In any case, clotheslines and clothespins were the means of drying. Once I dropped a clothespin on the basement stairs. Later, I stepped on it. It rolled. I fell down the steps and broke my leg.

(1914 1995) will never understand, I mean to take advantage of all the ways in which it can improve the quality of my life.

That type of machine was a very far cry indeed from today’s machines that at a touch of a few buttons will fill the washer with hot water, wash the clothes a prescribed number of minutes, spin them almost dry, replace the water, rinse, and spin them out, ready, not for a weather-beaten clothesline but for another machine with another set of buttons, a dryer. Recently, we have been reading that some day before too long, we may have a computerized washerdryer connected to a computerized clothes chute, thus doing all these lowly chores on order of a pressed button, so that an ever-ready supply of clean clothes will always be at hand. How would our grandmothers have reacted to such a machine? They might be scared to death of it at first sight, but if history is any guide, they’d soon be pushing the requisite buttons, just as their great-grandchildren are learning to handle computers.

Softball roundup

Lady Eagles last team standing By Anthony Nasella There was a period of time during the month of May when Sandburg was fighting just to stay above the .500 mark after playing a very challenging schedule, both in and outside of the state of Illinois. But Lady Eagles coach Jim Fabianski remained hopeful that regardless of the results in those contests, good ones would ultimately be achieved before the season’s conclusion. That hope became a reality for Sandburg, which advanced to this past Monday’s Class 4A Rosemont Supersectional after posting a thrilling come-from-behind 5-4 victory over defending state champion Marist on Saturday in the Richards Sectional finale. The Lady Eagles’ postseason run ended in Rosemont, where York administered an 8-1 defeat. Despite that season-ending setback, however, Sandburg (24-14) was the last team standing among local programs. Its triumph over the Lady RedHawks was a memorable one, as

Sam Radunz’s sixth-inning double off Marist pitcher Audra Hecker chased in Sarah Herold with the tying run. One stanza later, Ellie Forkin’s double that short-hopped the fence in left snapped a 4-all tie and brought Candice Koch (single) home from second base. The Lady RedHawks loaded the bags with one out in their half of the seventh, but Herold’s intentional walk to Marist standout Brooke Wyderski paid off when she fanned Haley Richy and got Brooke Wilson to pop out. “The girls are really excited right now,” Fabianski said after the contest. “This is such a fun team to be a part of. They really believe in themselves and they’re playing at a high level.” Fabianski said a key to the Lady Eagles’ turnaround was their ability to come together as a cohesive unit and fully understand Sandburg’s softball legacy. “Our assistant coach makes the girls these cloaks,” he said. “One of them said, ‘When you’re ready to sacrifice the ‘me’ for the ‘we,’ it really shows how much you trust your teammates.’ That’s been a

real motivating factor. “We have eight seniors, and some of the seniors don’t start, yet they feel they’re a big part of this. I ask them all the time, ‘What are your intentions? What do you want your legacy to be? What mark do you want to leave at Sandburg?’ “The girls’ performance is definitely answering these questions.” Sandburg jumped out to a 1-0 lead over Marist in the top of the first on back-to-back doubles by Forkin and Katie Krzus. Following a game-tying home run by Wyderski, the Lady Eagles created a 3-1 edge for themselves on Krzus’ two-run round-tripper in the second inning. That lead held up until the bottom of the fourth, when Kaitlin Kenny cleared the bases for Marist with her two-out double. Over the final three innings, Wyderski was walked intentionally twice and the Lady RedHawks put a total of six runners aboard, but Herold — who finished with six strikeouts — stranded all of them. “We took another step,” Fa-

bianski said. “We really didn’t think about beating the defending state champs, Marist, or any other team. It’s about us — if you take care of you, the rest will take care of itself.” As for the Lady RedHawks (2710), they were left to wonder what might have been. “On game day, there’s only so much a coaching staff can do,” Marist coach Denise Bromberek said. “We can only encourage and hope for the best that the kids are ready to play and ready to execute. When it was really needed, we unfortunately didn’t execute. It was unfortunate to watch and, even now, to think about it.” Bromberek thought Sandburg was especially juiced because the Lady RedHawks had knocked it out of the 2012 tourney en route to capturing their 4A title. “I think that loss was more vivid in their minds than the memory we had of going downstate last year,” she said of the Lady Eagles. “They were ready to play, but we were still expecting a different outcome. We were (Continued on page 2)

Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Sectional

End of the joyride JCA romps past Mustangs in finale By Ken Karrson Sweet 16 turned sour for Evergreen Park, but there was still no bitter aftertaste. How could there be when no one except the most optimistic individuals — and perhaps not even they — envisioned the sort of postseason run the Mustangs put together this spring? After winning the school’s first regional championship in 55 years the week before, Evergreen managed to extend its Class 3A tournament stay two more days. The Mustangs rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to down Herscher 8-6 last Thursday in a Lincoln-

Way West Sectional semifinal, which placed them in their firstever sectional final and left them as one of only 16 Class 3A teams standing by Saturday. Lined up across the diamond from Evergreen that day was always-powerful Joliet Catholic Academy, which had knocked the Mustangs out of the playoffs two seasons ago. Evergreen coach Mark Smyth recognized several names on the Hilltoppers’ roster, meaning a group of 2011 sophomores were now experienced seniors and an even more formidable foe. And JCA proved itself superior, as it rolled over the Mustangs 13-0 to advance into this past Monday’s

Crestwood Supersectional against Harlan. “They’re fantastic,” Smyth said of the Hilltoppers. “It was a little bit of a frustrating end to a great run by the boys, but I’m super happy for our seniors. They did a heck of a job and it was a great accomplishment [to get this far].” While Evergreen (17-16) had been able to expunge Herscher’s advantage, it could not duplicate that feat versus JCA after the latter struck for four first-inning runs. The Hilltoppers then added deuces in both the second and third frames to quickly turn the (Continued on page 3)

Senior Ashley Shares finished with a flourish. The Palos Park resident and Stagg graduate concluded her collegiate track career at St. Xavier University by placing 10th in the marathon at the 2013 NAIA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships and clocking a school-record time in the process. Shares completed her event in 3 hours, 3 minutes, 7.30 seconds at Indiana Wesleyan University last weekend. Shares, who was 12th overall in last year’s national meet, bettered by more than 10 minutes the school standard she previously set. While her performance highlighted Cougars’ appearance in Marion, Ind., Shares was not SXU’s only representative. Senior Mercedes Mancha, in fact, equaled her teammate’s effort by taking 10th in the 5,000-meter race-walk with a time of 28:56.07. Occupying the No. 16 position were junior Jordan Wallace in the 3,000-steeplechase (11:43.36) and the 3,200-relay foursome of senior Jackie Ott, junior Leslie Rosario, freshman Ann Kolker and senior Rachael Dean (9:41.64). Wallace lowered her 2012 time in that same race by nearly 16 seconds. “This was a very exciting season for our program,” Cougars coach Lisa Ebel said. “I am so proud that we had seven national-qualifying performances, and it was thrilling to have so many athletes representing SXU at the national meet.” FOOTBALL Jimmy Coy, who quarterbacked the Cougars to the 2011 NAIA national championship, agreed to a deal on Sunday with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. Coy became the first former SXU football player ever to sign a professional contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, as per Calgary team rules.

The CFL regular season begins on June 28 and continues into early November. “I am really excited for Jimmy because his dream is to play professional football and he has worked incredibly hard to get to this point,” SXU coach Mike Feminis said. “When Jimmy was working out with the Chicago Bears last month, their general manager, Phil Emery, told me how impressed he was with Jimmy and that he wouldn’t be surprised if an opportunity would come up for [Coy] in Canada if things didn’t work out right away in the NFL. “This couldn’t have happened to a nicer young man. In his two years with us, Jimmy represented St. Xavier University and our program in such a positive manner, whether it was in the classroom, on the field or in the community. “To have the career he had with us and then to have the chance to play professionally is unbelievable and the icing on the cake. I couldn’t be prouder of Jimmy, and I know every member of the SXU football family, from the players to the parents to the alums, are really pulling for him.” As a senior, Coy was chosen as the 2012 NAIA National Player of the Year after ranking third in the country with 3,427 passing yards despite missing two games due to injury. During the 2011 campaign, he earned firstteam All-Mid-States Football Association recognition and led the Cougars to the national title by completing 347-of-510 passes for 4,261 yards and 42 touchdowns with just 11 interceptions. Coy also rushed for 269 yards and four TDs that year. SOFTBALL Just days after wrapping up the best season in program history with a seventh-place national finish and school-record 50 wins, the Cougars put another exclamation

point on their exceptional year by landing two players on the 2013 NAIA Softball All-America teams. The awards were announced last Friday at the conclusion of the NAIA Softball National Championship in Columbus, Ga. Freshman Nicole Nonnemacher claimed a spot on the first team in a utility role, while junior Megan Nonnemacher earned secondteam honors as a pitcher. Nicole Nonnemacher was the first SXU softball player to achieve firstteam All-America status since 2006, when future Hall of Famer Colleen Kilduff became the first Cougar ever chosen as the NAIA Softball Player of the Year. In addition, Nonnemacher was also one of just 16 players named to the NAIA Softball All-Championship squad. In her inaugural collegiate campaign, Nonnemacher paced SXU in average (.397), hits (69), doubles (13), runs scored (48) and slugging percentage (.506) on offense, and in strikeouts (school-record 263) and opponents’ average (.189) in the circle. Her other pitching stats included a 24-5 record and 1.80 earned-run average. Megan Nonnemacher was equally impressive in the circle all season, as she topped the Cougars in wins (26), ERA (1.65), shutouts (10), starts (33) and innings pitched (199 1/3). The elder Nonnemacher was also one of four SXU softball athletes to be named a Daktronics/ NAIA Scholar-Athlete for 2013. Joining her were seniors Kate Mollohan and Ashley Sullivan and junior Ariel Hinton. Also honored from Cougars spring teams were senior baseball player Mike Klett, senior runner Ashley Shares and junior track athlete Shane Kenney. In order to be nominated, a student-athlete must have maintained a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and reached junior academic standing.

Class 4A Reavis Sectional

Going down quietly Vikings blanked by St. Rita in semis By Ken Karrson Certain venues require silence, and rambunctious parties get asked to leave. But being too quiet on a baseball field, particularly when swinging the bat, can create a big problem. And because St. Laurence picked an inopportune moment to grow silent, it was forced to exit the Class 4A state tournament. St. Rita had lost two of three previous 2013 meetings with its Chicago Catholic League Blue rival, but the Mustangs prevailed when the stakes got high. Behind pitcher Mike Costanzo’s three-hit, five-strikeout performance, St. Rita shut down St. Laurence’s potent attack and made off with an unexpectedly easy 8-0 triumph last Thursday in a Reavis Sec-

tional semifinal. The Mustangs came up one run short in Saturday’s finale against another CCL Blue foe, Mt. Carmel, and the Caravan went on to square off with Lockport in this past Monday’s Crestwood Supersectional. The Vikings (28-10) had not been shut out prior to Thursday, and they took care of business handily against Costanzo in a regular-season confrontation. He was the losing pitcher in a lateApril matchup as St. Laurence whitewashed the Mustangs 7-0. Costanzo got his revenge with relatively little difficulty, thanks largely to St. Rita’s rapid start against Vikings hurler Zach Lewis. Lewis, who entered the contest with just one setback this spring, was unable to keep the Mustangs’

sticks under control as four men smacked RBI hits. Tyler Halas led the assault with a two-run double, but Connor McLain (double), Nate Soria and Pete Cozzi also made their presences felt. Forced to dig out of a 5-0 hole right away, St. Laurence couldn’t, as it never fully recovered from the initial onslaught. “I thought our guys were trying to do too much, [like] trying to hit a five-run homer,” Vikings coach Pete Lotus said. “We didn’t do much wrong — we had zero errors and we actually made a few real good [fielding] plays — but they had so much momentum on their side. If we could do anything to take some of that away, Photo by Jason Maholy it would have been a good thing [because] it’s not as easy to put Saint Laurence catcher Kevin White tags out St. Rita’s Connor McClain, who was trying to score on a ground ball to third base during last week’s Class 4A Reavis Sectional semifinal.

The Regional News - The Reporter

Some things not worth thinking about Bartosh Who says we must always challenge ourselves intellectually? OK, not everyone. Some people actually avoid it like they would a Justin Bieber concert, but there are many others who insist that everything with which they involve themselves must contain deep meaning. Personally, I think those latter folks need to scale back the pomposity. There’s nothing wrong with mindless pursuits every once in a while, particularly where entertainment is concerned. Reading the ramblings of a newspaper columnist might fall into that category, you know, although an argument could be made to the contrary. Nevertheless, I’m going to do my part this week to promote the idea of mental down time, a sort of vacation into vacuity, if you will. Presented below are three stories that require absolutely no reading between the lines. They are exactly what they seem: silly little slices of pretty meaningless sporting life. So toss your thinking caps aside and don’t bother pondering for an instant any of the following items: • I’ll need to see some ID please: Age may only be a number, but what about when it’s two different numbers? An Associated Press story by Ben Walker tells the charming story of a supposedly 111-yearold man recently saluted by the New York Yankees. Bernard LaPallo calls himself the Yankees’ oldest fan, and who’s to doubt him when he’s 111? But according to Walker’s story, the man has no tangible proof of his age. Evidently, public records indicate LaPallo being born in 1910 rather than 1901, and a Guinness Records researcher stated that “many extreme age claims have turned out to be false.”

Softball roundup (Continued from page 1) definitely shocked.” Despite the disappointment, Bromberek commended her team for the improvements it made throughout the year. She specifically praised the seven seniors who performed solidly all season and also contributed greatly to last season’s championship run. “The girls all had a great season,” Bromberek said. “I’m going to especially miss the seniors. “They’ve done so much for the program, and I don’t think they really know how much they’ve really done. They helped make history for this program. It’s really a rare experience.” A notable player whose improvement impacted the team’s 2013 success was Wyderski, who clubbed 13 homers and elevated

For the sake of argument, let’s say the researcher is correct and LaPallo is not 110, but a mere kid of 101. This makes a difference how? Walker’s story did not indicate that LaPallo received anything of value from the Yankees. His name was put up on the scoreboard and the crowd cheered — that was it. So what is LaPallo supposed to do — offer to give back the cheers? He still deserves them because, frankly, 101 is pretty darned impressive as well. The majority of us will not reach that milestone, and of the ones who do, most of those individuals probably wouldn’t have the energy to follow a game on TV, let alone watch it at the ballpark. LaPallo brags that people don’t believe he’s as old as he is because he can “pass for 65 or 70.” Big deal, Bernard. So can I. • For the glove of the game: What will you be wearing next winter? If it was like much of our most recent winter, the answer might be shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. But regardless, I couldn’t care less about anyone’s attire, even my own. For some reason, however, Phillip Rivers thinks one of his clothing choices is newsworthy. Or at least it was to Ryan Wilson of CBSSports.com, as well as some other media members. It was Wilson’s story I stumbled across, and it told readers more than anyone could possibly want to know about Rivers’ handwear. Wilson admitted as much, saying it “seems like a useless piece of information,” but then goes on to tell us why it’s really not. It seems that 43 percent of San Diego’s 2012 wins were captured after Rivers donned gloves. There were several paragraphs’ worth of supporting information, but my eyes glazed over rather

her average by 200 points over last year. “Brooke has always been steady defensively,” Bromberek said, “but she raised her batting average from .400 to .600. She watched the [sectional semifinal] game against Morton and observed her swing on High School Cube. She made an adjustment and she hit the home run early in the game against Sandburg. “She’s grown a lot mentally. It’s always nice to see that she always wants to contribute. She comes from a great family and I’m so grateful to have had her for four years.” *** Sandburg advanced to the sectional final with a 9-1 victory last Wednesday over a Hinsdale South team that stunned Mother McAuley for a regional title. The Lady Eagles jumped ahead 4-1 on Radunz’s RBI double, Koch’s two-run homer and a solo shot by Krzus. Herold shut the door from there, and Krzus’

quickly. All I know is Rivers plays half his games each year in what is perhaps America’s most ideal climate. Maybe that’s spoiled him to the point where he can no longer handle sub-70-degree temperatures. Phil, I’ve got six words for you: Bart Starr. Ice Bowl. No gloves. • Stone Cold says so: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo should be used to all the criticism by now, but a new voice recently weighed in on his football-related shortcomings. Pro wrestler Steve “Stone Cold” Austin is doing a podcast these days, and he ventured outside the boundaries of the squared circle when he took calls and the topic turned to the Dallas Cowboys. As a Texan, Austin has more than a passing interest in the Coyboys’ on-field fortunes, and he said that while Romo is “a damn good quarterback, he [soils] the bed at the most inopportune times. So when I look for leadership, I can’t say that Tony Romo is the clear-cut leader.” Of course, Romo is operating at a disadvantage because the outcomes of his sporting activities are not scripted ahead of time. I’m curious as to how legendary Stone Cold would have become without that little asset in his possession. Austin is not a football novice — he received a full scholarship to the University of North Texas once upon a time, but opted to forgo college and become a wrestler instead. His bankbook says he made a wise move. And, as is true with any sports fan, Stone Cold is entitled to his opinion, which in this case is pretty accurate. Saying Romo just “needs to do some brain work” isn’t exactly the most constructive criticism, but again Austin’s not really off-base. After all, Stone Cold wasn’t the one who let Jessica Simpson get away.

second homer of the day — good for three runs — sent Sandburg on its way. Krzus finished 4-for-4 with four RBI, while Koch went 3-for-4 with two doubles in addition to her round-tripper and four RBI. Herold struck out 10 Lady Hornets batters. “We’re taking this in little steps — inch by inch, pitch by pitch, out by out,” Koch said of Sandburg, which had won 13 of its last 15 games at that juncture. The Lady Eagles broke the contest open in the bottom of the fourth when Brooke Heimerl and Koch hit back-to-back doubles, Forkin walked and Krzus ripped a three-run homer over the fence in center to make it 8-1. Koch added an RBI double in the fifth. Fabianski said all the ups and downs of the season prior to Sandburg’s revival have served the team well. “With our strength of schedule, everything that has happened up to now has prepared us for this,” he said. “We’ve lost leads and we’ve come from behind in other games. We’ve been down the block a few times. We’ve realized that we can’t take things for granted. “We have the utmost respect for anybody who has gotten this far. We’re smart enough to know that there’s very little difference in the quality of teams at this point of the season. It’s about the will and heart and the ability to stay motivated.” MARIST The Lady RedHawks reached the sectional-title game with a 7-4 victory over Morton last Tuesday. Marist played errorless ball as Wyderski led the way with seven assists. Wilson drove in three runs and Erica Nagel two to highlight the offensive end for the Lady RedHawks. Over the first five innings, Marist scored all of the runs as well. Two misplays by Morton and Nagel’s single resulted in a tworun second. In the fifth, Kenny started things off with a single before Nagel’s RBI double and Wilson’s three-run triple put the game beyond reach.

EVERGREEN PARK The Lady Mustangs were eliminated in last Friday’s Class 3A Nazareth Sectional semifinal contest as they suffered an 11-1 defeat against Glenbard South Photo by Jason Maholy Marist third baseman Katie Caulfield fields a ground ball before in five innings. Megan Beckow throwing to first for the final out of last week’s Class 4A Richards doubled and scored the only run for Evergreen Park (14-13). Sectional semifinal win over Morton.

Palos Heights resident Peter Scheid, of Redhawks Wrestling Club, (right) takes on undefeated state champion, Rahveon Valentine at the 2013 Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation state championship at the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford. Scheid is ready to take his ‘big man style’ to the next level as he prepares for next year’s state championship.

Wrestler’s next goal: state title Scheid also eyes future spot on Marist varsity roster By Kevin M. Coyne For wrestler Peter Scheid, it’s time to hang up the baseball glove and retire the lacrosse stick. The 12-year-old Palos Heights resident is ready to win the next Illinois Kids Wrestling Federation state championship. The 122-pound Scheid, who competes for the Redhawks Wrestling Club, placed second in his weight division at the 2013 IKWF state event, held at the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford. A couple weeks after the meet, the wrestling standout said, “The best is yet to come,” as he trained and continued to sharpen his skills for next year’s IKWF meet. “My first goal was to make it to state, which I did last year,” Scheid said. “Then placing in state was my next goal, which I did this year. Now, my goal is to win state.” Scheid has wrestled for six years as a “part-timer.” During the summer months, he could be found playing defense for the Oak Forest Fury lacrosse team or baseball at a Palos Heights field. But after going on a tear in regionals, sectionals and the state tournament, Scheid is now concentrating on his mat activities. He wants to stand on top of the podium in 2014. “My son, Pete, puts the time in and is very dedicated and coachable,” Pete Scheid Sr. said. “He’s very determined and focused, and he believes in himself Pete Sr., Fran Blake, Dan Joda and Mike O’Brien, a former wrestling standout from Marist who earned a state title in 1983, coach the younger Scheid. “I owe a lot to my coaches for teaching me the proper technique

His 10-yearold brother, David, also wrestles for the Redhawks Wrestling Club and placed fifth at state in the Bantam Division, while 7-year-old Teagan is able to jump in with the boys from time to time and has a “mean takedown,” according to her mother, Peggi. “It was a lot harder to watch

when the boys were younger, but as they got older it became a little easier to watch them wrestle,” Peggi said. “As a mom, it’s nice to see each of my sons benefit. Even if they don’t win, they’ll try harder next time and continue to learn more.” This year, Pete Jr. has taken his big-man wrestling style to the next level by adding quickness and more technique to his repertoire. After training during the school year, he was able to thrive in the 122-pound weight class, which consisted of over 70 wrestlers at the state meet. In his final match, Scheid came up short against undefeated Rahveon Valentine of The Law Wrestling Club in Lena, Ill. Valentine won the Marty Combes Award for Outstanding Novice Wrestler and had a perfect no-points-against record. “I was pretty nervous before the championship, and I spent most of my time looking at who I was facing next,” Scheid said. “I think [Valentine] watched some of my earlier matches and was a lot more prepared for the final match since he figured it would be him and I in the finals.” After graduation from Independence Middle School next year, Scheid plans on attending Marist. His offensive wrestling style and under-hook move will make him an asset to the RedHawks in the near future. “My goal in high school is to compete with the best wrestlers at Marist and make the varsity team,” Scheid said. “I want to train with the best wrestlers at Marist if I don’t make the team, but my goal is to make the varsity team and become an even better wrestler.”

Trinity sports report

Reidsma 12th in NAIA 5K final By Tim Cronin Trinity Christian College junior track whiz Andy Reidsma qualified for the NAIA Championship at three different distances. Usually, that means competing in all three races, but not when one of the three is the 5,000-meter run, a grueling test of 3.11 miles. Then, a choice must be made. Reidsma, who also qualified in the 1,500 and marathon, decided to go for the middle distance and, thus, withdrew from the other events at last weekend’s national meet at Indiana Wesleyan in Marion, Ind. That paid off with a near-personal-best time of 14 minutes, 49.96 seconds and a 12th-place finish in the finals. And that run came a day after Reidsma took sixth in the qualifying race with a clocking of 14:58.31. Reidsma had registered a personal best of 14:48.92 in the CCAC Championship meet in Joliet, which also established a Trolls record. To come within a second of that time the day after running the same distance in a qualifying race was nothing short of outstanding. It also bodes well for what Reidsma can do in both cross country — where the same 5,000meter distance is often employed — and track as a senior. Reidsma was showered with honors at the end of the season, including Trinity’s Male Athlete of the Year award, the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic

Sports wrap By Anthony Nasella It took Sandburg’s girls’ soccer team three years to get back to a supersectional, and then parts of two days to complete that match last week. Unfortunately for the Lady Eagles, they were unable to find the net in a hard-fought match against a Hinsdale Central team that was looking for its first trip to the state semifinals in four years. Sandburg dropped a 2-0 verdict last Wednesday in the Class 3A Lewis University Supersectional. The Lady Red Devils scored their first goal just 5:13 into the match, which began on Tuesday. However, a thunderstorm halted play right after Casey May tallied and the match was suspended. When play resumed on Wednesday, Alex Otto tallied with 15:09 left in regulation to close out the scoring. The Lady Eagles, who had won nine of their previous 10

Vikings (Continued from page 1) pressure on their defense when you’re down five runs. “We’ve always hit [Costanzo] pretty well, but you could see he had a different mind-set pitching with a 5-0 lead. You have the comfort of not having to be too fine or be afraid of making a mistake.” Once the early damage was done, Lewis settled down and threw commendably. He wound up with eight strikeouts and scattered seven hits from the second inning on. Rain delayed the start of the game for 45 minutes, and Lotus wondered if that might have had a negative psychological impact on his staff ace. Whether or not that was indeed a factor is debatable, but Lotus admitted being surprised at Lewis’ initial struggles. “It wasn’t the best situation for him, but his ERA was like .43, so

matches, were attempting to make the semifinals for the first time since they finished second in 2010. “The girls played very hard,” Sandburg coach Desi Vuillaume said. “Obviously, I’m not happy with the loss, but I’m happy with the way the girls played hard until the end. We had shots on goal and good scoring opportunities, but the scores just didn’t come our way. “I think the goal [on Tuesday] kind of hurt with us having the layoff, but for 90 percent of the game, I thought we possessed the ball and had plenty of opportunities, especially that first half. And in the second half, we kept the pressure up.” Despite giving up the two goals, Lady Eagles netminder Nicole Kulovitz recorded eight saves. Hinsdale Central, meanwhile, kept up the intensity on the defensive end as it limited limiting Sandburg’s offense to just two shots on goal in the final period.

“The girls obviously wanted a better result,” Vuillaume said. “But anytime you can finish among the top eight teams in the state, that’s a good accomplishment.” Despite having to stare at a onegoal deficit for nearly 24 hours, the Lady Eagles came out focused on Wednesday and outplayed the Lady Red Devils for significant stretches. Sandburg (16-6-3) secured three corner kicks and had three long free kicks in the first half, but came up dry as Hinsdale Central goalie Riley Glenn made three saves and central defender Katie Camden cleared the other three balls. Vuillaume said it will be tough for the Lady Eagles to lose seven girls to graduation, but he is encouraged by the return of a strong core group. “We’ll be back and in the hunt again next season,” he said. “We’ll definitely miss our seniors, though. They were a great group of girls.”

you don’t expect that,” Lotus said. “It was one bad inning he threw, and they found some holes and got a couple two-out hits. I felt bad for Zach because he’s been such a tremendous leader for us and he’s a great kid.” While Lewis was able to right himself, St. Laurence’s offense never did get on track. Singles by Lewis, Mike Kornacker and Ryan Rybakowski were all the Vikings had to show for themselves in the way of production, and they never pushed a runner beyond second base. Insurance runs for St. Rita were tacked on in the sixth and seventh frames, with McLain, Jake Shepski and Marty Bechina (double) all collecting RBI hits. Halas doubled in front of Bechina in the final inning. “It was a tough way to go out,” Lotus said, “but if we had given the game to them, I would have been a lot more disappointed. When we meet any of those [CCL Blue] teams at any point in the season, it’s going to be a tough game, mentally draining

and physically draining, which is probably one of the reasons kids go to those schools.” Although Lewis now departs the scene, St. Laurence will return several regulars from the 2013 lineup next spring. Lotus obviously hopes the Vikings make a deeper run in the 2014 tournament, but he’ll still look back fondly on the season just concluded. “I think we had a tremendous team as far as chemistry and guys getting along — that’s the biggest thing,” Lotus said. “It was just an added bonus that we won a regional and the Catholic League Blue.”

bit and would come around, and every time we called on somebody to pinch hit or spot start, they came through. That’s what’s fun: when all the guys contribute.” Evergreen Park 8 Herscher 6 The Tigers, who beat Chicago Christian during the 2012 postseason and finished third in Class 2A, put the Mustangs into an immediate hole on Thursday, but Mike Reuter (two-run double) and Venhuizen (RBI single) made sure that edge had disappeared by the end of the opening stanza. Smyth cited Evergreen’s rapid response as the key to its longterm well-being. “That’s the thing about Herscher — they’re used to being there [in the sectional round] and expect to win,” he said. “We were sticking our foot in, so to speak, so to answer back right away was huge. We came out swinging the bats and it was our best offensive game of the year.” Reuter was unquestionably the Mustangs’ ringleader. Still mourning the recent loss of his grandparents, the Evergreen outfielder poured his emotions into his performance, and he concluded the day with five RBI after slugging a three-run homer in the second to put his squad in front to stay. Mike Rizzo stroked an RBI single in the third and the Mustangs also tallied on a passed ball to increase their lead to 8-3. Venhuizen nearly made it 10-3 when he crushed a ball, but a Tigers outfielder hauled it in and kept

(Continued from page 1) contest into a lopsided one. “If we’re going to beat this team, we have to hang in there and catch a break somewhere,” Smyth said. “Once they got up 4-0, they were swinging comfortably and we were back on our heels.” The Mustangs managed only two hits off JCA hurler Sam Couch, one of them a bunt single by Keyshawn Carpenter. Kyle Venhuizen delivered Evergreen’s other safety in the seventh. Junior Frank Meisl absorbed the pitching loss for the Mustangs, but he’ll be back for another go-around next spring. So, too, will several other athletes, as Evergreen counted only two upperclassmen among Saturday’s starters. “We should have [good] pitching and defense again [in 2014],” Smyth said. “But we need to get off to a good start. That’s something we haven’t done yet.” The Mustangs’ ledger once stood at 3-10, but a seven-game victory streak got things righted and Evergreen played .700 ball over its last 20 games. So what shifted the Mustangs’ fortunes so dramatically? “The best thing about the group is they got along together so well,” Smyth said. “I think that’s the biggest reason we were able to turn it around. If those guys didn’t like each other and weren’t good buddies, I don’t know how it would have been when we were 3-10. “I knew they could play a little

Matt Munro’s double-double of 11 blocks and 10 kills propelled

Marist’s boys’ volleyball team to a 25-19, 21-25, 25-17 victory over Oak Lawn in a regional match. Morty Berglind contributed eight kills, 16 digs and a service ace for the RedHawks (20-15), while Mike Schreiber distributed 30 assists and registered two aces. Also helping out were Brendan Hopkins (team-high 17 digs), Tom Inzinga (four kills, four blocks) and Bill Kennedy (two aces). it from becoming an extra-base hit. However, Herscher still had a lot of ground to make up, and Venhuizen settled down after that rocky first frame to hold the Tigers at bay through the fourth. “With Kyle on the mound, I felt we could compete with anybody in the state,” Smyth said. “Kyle didn’t have his best stuff — he pitched basically the whole game with a fastball — but he gutted it out. Venhuizen’s defense let him down a bit in the fifth, which enabled Herscher to score twice and narrow the gap. The Tigers collected another marker in the sixth and then put runners on second and third in the seventh before Meisl closed them out in relief by fanning the final batter. “Over the last two or 2½ weeks, we got into a nice practice routine and nice pregame routine,” Smyth said. “We kind of caught fire, we beat some quality teams and we made it a great thing to remember.”

Summit Entertainment

Jesse Eisenberg portrays one of four magicians who use their illusionist acts to rob banks in “Now You See Me.” Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Mark Ruffalo also star.

A less-than-magical movie

(NOTICE: Ratings for each film begin with a ‘star’ rating — one star meaning ‘poor,’ four meaning ‘excellent’ — followed by the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and then by a family-viewing guide, the key for which appears below.) STARTING THIS WEEK: “IDENTITY THIEF”: Their styles differ, but Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy make for a reasonably amusing pairing in this comedy, containing a sufficient amount of the raunchy humor both have become associated with. McCarthy plays the title thief, whose lifting of a Denver businessman’s (Bateman) identity prompts him to travel to Florida to find her, bring her back and get his situation corrected. Others are on their trail, though, complicating things considerably. Amanda

Peet, Jon Favreau, Robert Patrick and hip-hop star T.I. are featured. DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; outtakes. *** (R and unrated versions: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD”: Mild fun if you don’t overthink it, here’s round five for Bruce Willis as renegade New York cop John McClane in this no-frills action tale, which has the everrugged hero “yippee-ki-ay”-ing through Russia ... and destroying a good chunk of it along the way. He goes there to help his estranged son (Jai Courtney) out of trouble, only to find his offspring is secretly a CIA agent who’s neck-deep in government intrigue. Needless to say, everresourceful Dad shows the kid a thing or two. Mary Elizabeth Winstead briefly reprises her role

from the preceding “Live Free or Die Hard” as McClane’s daughter. ** (R: P, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “WARM BODIES”: One couple — a zombie and a human, played by Nicholas Hoult (“Jack the Giant Slayer”) and Teresa Palmer — could be the key to restoring the world from a rampage of the undead in this satire of a genre, played unusually straight for something of its nature. The fellow is the zombie who saves the young woman, one of the few humans left, from others of his kind. Their ensuing relationship could have an impact on many others. John Malkovich and Rob Corddry also appear. DVD extras: nine “making-of” documentaries; audio commentary by Hoult, Palmer and director-screen(Continued on page 6 )

‘Now You See Me’ destined to disappear from theaters by Jase Howell At one point in “Now You See Me,” a character explains how magicians build their acts, with each tier being more impressive than the last, and culminating in a sort of grand finale. Unfortunately, the screenwriters did not carry the same principles to the script. “Now You See Me” is a great example of the “what if?” kind of film. It has plenty of potential, but for various reasons sinks like a Chicago Cubs’ prospect. The premise of magicians robbing banks is intriguing, and the cast is loaded with talent, yet it is never pieced together properly and the results are far from spectacular. We first see our characters applying their skills as street magicians. J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) is a cocky illusionist waiting for a break to the big time, Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson) is a mentalist with a bizarre sense of humor looking to get back to the big time, Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher) is the sexy escape artist, and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco) is a streethustler. The four magicians each receive invites to a Tarot reading by an unseen benefactor who wants the four team up to pull of their most elaborate stunt to date. The film then cuts to one year later, and the magicians are selling out arenas under the name the Four Horsemen. During a show they pull off a stunt which supposedly teleports an audience member to Paris in order to empty a vault and vacuum the money back to the states and make it rain on the audience. This is all an illusion, obviously, except the vault has indeed been robbed. This brings in FBI agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruf-

falo) and Interpol agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent) to investigate how the Horsemen pulled this off. Without proof, though, the authorities can’t hold the magicians, so the four are free to amp up their game with their next show. Also showing interest is ex-magician-turned-reality-show-star Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman). In interviews with Rhodes and Dray, we see Bradley can figure out the nuts and bolts of the events, but can’t quite see to where exactly it’s taking them. Nor for that matter can the Horsemen’s financier, Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine). We eventually will find out the end game, but it’s pretty much of a letdown, as is much before it. One of the significant problems here is we’re not sure who to identify with. With a plot like this we would think the magicians, yet we spend no more time with them than an audience member at one of their shows. The script, perhaps purposely, keeps us

in the dark as to who these characters really are. Franco’s character in particular is so thin I believe he may have been included so the filmmakers could use the Four Horsemen moniker. We spend the most time with the two agents, and watch them go through the typical male-female partner cliches. There are a few elements of magician folklore sprinkled in here and there, but halfway through we realize this film may not have much of anything up its sleeve. Perhaps the most disappointing aspect are the tricks themselves — they are really not quite as clever as we might expect. That’s pretty tough to overcome given that the film is more or less predicated on magic tricks. The film has a few sleight of hand tricks at the end in an attempt to salvage something, but by this point it’s doubtful anyone watching cares. The real magic here is how quickly this film makes our interest disappear.

Omarr’s Weekly Astrological Forecast by Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (March 21-April 19): Baby steps are better than crawling. The courage to move forward even when bombarded by doubts or on uncertain ground will create momentum. Use logic to overcome obstacles this week. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Knowledge is power. The more you know and learn, the easier it will be to make and keep money this week. Respect sound advice from trusted advisers rather than trying to figure it out for yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Rather than rocking the boat, pick up a paddle and choose a clear direction. You can count on being diverted from impulsive actions by a guardian angel in the week to come — if you heed friendly advice. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put on your thinking cap. Mercury is traveling through your sign and you might get a chance to figure something out in a creative way during the week ahead. Put your best thoughts down on paper. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Think

before you act. In the first part of the week, you might be tempted to take spur-of-the-moment steps or change something that is better left alone. You will benefit by the advice of trusted friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Strive for popularity this week, but you don’t bend over backward to earn esteem. Keep relationships in perspective; someone who asks much of you may be doing you a favor by showing you your limits. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Multitasking could be counterproductive in the approaching week. You may find that you can do one thing well or several things poorly. Focus on one thing at a time; avoid frequent changes of direction. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Suspicions may be grounded in fact. It might be wise to check the facts twice before embarking on new enterprises in the early part of the week. Someone may only show you what you want to see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

Dec. 21): Tit for tat. Remain open and sincere with others in the upcoming week and they will reciprocate. You may be called upon to be generous to those who helped you in the past. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Focus on constructive activities in the week ahead. You can wrap things up that have been pending for a long time with a flourish.
