Aldermen deal Heights out of video gambling

by Jeff Vorva staff reporter

but it suffered mortal wounds when the City Council voted 5to-3 Tuesday against drafting an ordinance to amend or repeal any ordinances to allow video gam-

bling machines in city bars and restaurants.

Aldermen Michael McGrogan, The video gaming controversy Alan Fulkerson and Jerry Mcin Palos Heights is not dead yet, Govern voted for drafting the ordinance while aldermen Jeffrey Key, Dolores Kramarski, Donald Bylut, Jack Clifford and Robert Basso voted against it.

So is the end of the issue?

Possibly.

If restaurant and bar owners want another shot at it, they would have to bring it back to the council’s License, Permits and Franchises Committee, chaired by McGrogan, with some revisions for it to make it to the full council again. This process already took five months.

“If we kill this motion today in this format, it’s probably going to come back up in greater detail, which isn’t all that bad,” McGrogan said before the vote. “There are still so many questions that have come up in the last three or four months that are not in this ordinance. Some of the good comAlderman Jeffrey Key said a video gaming argument that “everyone’s ments the aldermen have made a winner here” turned his stomach. haven’t been incorporated into

the [current] ordinance.

“Maybe the best thing is for us to kill this so that if a better one comes back later, maybe we can have a referendum.’’

At the June 18 council meeting, former mayor Dean Koldenhoven told the council it should consider a referendum. Clifford revisited that idea prior to Tuesday’s vote, suggesting that it be placed on the 2014 primary election ballot.

“Let the people of the city decide what’s best for them,” Clifford said.

Fulkerson pointed out that referendum talk had to wait and since the ordinance vote was deferred at the June 18 meeting, it had to be voted on Tuesday.

Prior to the council’s discussion things got heated during a brief period when citizens addressed the council. Koldenhoven told a story about a woman who killed two of her infants to collect insurance money to pay for her gambling habits. He asked aldermen to keep that in mind before voting.

Sam Buca’s restaurant owner

Dominick Buscemi seemingly had a hunch about how the vote would turn out because he gave an angry speech to the council and immediately left the chambers before the vote was taken.

“That was a heartfelt story and I’ve seen that happen – I’ve been a fireman for 23 years,” Buscemi said of Koldenhoven’s story. “On the other hand I’ve seen babies eight months old get catapulted through a window of a car because somebody was drinking and driving. Gambling is bad because it causes addiction. So does drinking.

So does smoking. But everybody’s OK with that.

“Why it is OK to sell cigarettes in Palos Heights? Why? Tell me why. Why is it OK for people to come to my place and drink?

Why is it okay to go to a store and buy a six-pack? Why? Those are not addictions? It’s actually pretty ridiculous that it’s okay for alcohol and cigarettes and lottery but God forbid we let gambling come to town.’’

He turned some of his anger toward the council.

Alderman Jack Clifford agreed with former mayor Dean Koldenhoven to let voters decide via a referendum if video gambling should be allowed in Palos Heights.

“You’re handcuffing us,” Buscemi said. “I’m just letting you know you are handcuffing us.

Pedestrian bridge over La Grange will tie Orland’s northern gateway together

by Jeff Vorva staff reporter

‘The Forgotten War’ Smith Village resident Bill Gallagher talks about having coordinated troop-training exercises for the occupation that followed the end of the Korean War 60 years ago. See his story in our Senior Spotlight section inside this week’s paper.

Called “The Forgotten War,” the Korean conflict, which President Truman initially termed a “police action,” rather than a war because war was never declared by Congress, was fought under the auspices of the United Nations. The U.S. suffered 33,686 battle deaths, 2,830 non-battle deaths and 8,176 missing in action during the conflict that began in June 1950. The fighting ended 60 years ago this month on July 27, 1953 with the signing of an armistice agreement.

Nine years after the idea became public, the pedestrian bridge over La Grange Road near 142nd Street in Orland Park could finally open later this month.

Village manager Paul Grimes isn’t pinning down an exact date yet.

The opening date is the “million dollar question” that the Illinois Department of Transportation will have the final say on, Grimes told the Village Board’s Parks and Recreation Committee.

“They will reinforce the concrete to connect the apron leading up to the actual bridge,” Grimes said. “That’s going to happen in the next week or two. After that, they should be able to open it.

There is nothing listed under their work plan that should preclude them from opening the bridge.

“Please keep in mind that the bridge is going to be open for a couple of months, then IDOT will have to come in as a part of their road construction project … we’re hoping when they close it, it will coincide with the winter months so that the impact won’t be so bad. The timing issue sounds great on paper but we can’t guarantee it. But we do anticipate the bridge will be open in the next couple of weeks. Our fingers are crossed.”

The pedestrian bridge serves two purposes.

One purpose is that it will connect a bikeway that starts at Lake Sedgewick on the southwest side

of the village and goes through the northeast portion of the village all the way through to the Turtlehead Lake Forest Preserve and Palos Heights beyond.

The other purpose is that it connects the Orland Crossing Shopping Center on the east side of La Grange Road with the Downtown Orland Park being developed within the Main Street Triangle TIF district on the west side of La Grange.

“It really connects the bike trail network on the eastern part of

Orland with all of the thousands and thousands of acres in Oak Forest and Tinley Park and others with the western part of Orland,” Grimes said. “I could ride my bike from my home to the office much more easily when it opens. And we think that the additional activation of the downtown area is terrific.”

The idea of building this bridge came about in 2004 and the village set aside $500,000 for it.

Grimes said the village received a little more than $1 million in

grant money and was going to start work on it but in 2010, IDOT received funding to replace the Metra bridge next to the proposed site of the pedestrian bridge and the village turned over the grant money to IDOT, which took the lead on the project.

In 2012, the village announced in some of its literature to the public that it would open last July.

“That was the plan but they (See Orland, Page 4)

The pedestrian bridge that started in the planning stages nine years ago could finally open in a few weeks. The bridge will connect a bike path as well as the Orland Crossing Shopping Center with the new Downtown Orland Park under development. In the background is the Ninety7Fifty luxury apartment complex that is anchoring the planned downtown Triangle.

Commemoration of end of Korean War planned Veterans stories: The Regional Wants You! Did you serve in the Korean War? Korean War veterans and others will gather to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the close of the Korean War on Friday, July 26, at 10:30 a.m., at the Korean War memorial in Kennedy Park, 11320 S. Western Ave., in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood.

The ceremony will include a laying of a wreath and remarks by public officials and veterans, followed by lunch at nearby Smith Village, 2320 W. 113th Place. Registration for the lunch portion of the event is required. RSVP by calling Smith Village at (773) 474-7300

by July 24.

The Korean War ended with an armistice agreement on July 27, 1953. Often termed “The Forgotten War,” more than 33,000 Americans died in battle during the conflict that broke out in June 1950 when communist North Korea invaded the republic of South Korea. U.S. forces entered the war, never declared by Congress, under what President Truman initially termed “a police action.”

Kennedy Park is home to Illinois’ first monument to the Korean War, one of the first Korean war monuments in the country. It was dedicated in 1988, largely thanks to the dedication of the Windy City Veterans Association, responsible for its creation.

The Regional is interested in telling the stories and Heights gambling sharing photos from those days of active service of local referendum: Let veterans of the Korean conflict who live in Palos Heights, the people state Palos Park or Orland Park. To participate, email their wishes Theregional@comcast.net or call Jack Murray, editor, at 448-4000.

Dear Editor:

For the Public Safety

Keep your pet safe from fireworks terrors From Palos Park Commissioner Dan Polk Each year, more pets are impounded at shelters on and around the Fourth of July.

Pets become frightened and anxious and may escape from their yards, putting them at risk for injury. As we prepare for barbecues and firework displays this Fourth of July, Police Commissioner Dan Polk and his dog Cordoroy urge you to think about your pets and we offer the following suggestions and tips to help keep your pets safe: Do not take your pet to a fireworks display; the loud finale will only frighten him.

It is safer to keep your pet at home during Fourth of July celebrations instead of bringing him to your neighbor’s party.

The loud noises created by the fireworks are very stressful for your pet, and taking him to an unfamiliar environment adds to his anxiety, even if you are with him.

Keep your pet indoors if at all possible. Your pet will be a lot happier indoors, and not tempted to leap over a fence to escape loud noises or to find you.

Never tie your dog up in an effort to keep him from escaping; he will still try to escape if frightened. The leash, rope or chain could entangle a limb

or neck and cause significant injury or death.

Once the fireworks begin, keep your pet in a safe room where he can feel comfortable.

If he is crate trained, placing him in his crate and covering it with a blanket may make him feel more secure.

Block outside sights and sounds by lowering the blinds and turning on the television or radio. Anything that will help minimize the noise and bright explosions associated with fireworks may help your pet.

If your pet seems overly anxious, spend some time with your pet, trying to comfort him and help him relax. Consult with your local veterinarian regarding the use of sedatives to keep your dog calm during the celebration.

Should your dog escape, help find him with some form of identification. Collars and tags with your name and telephone number are okay, but they can fall off or be pulled off by a frightened dog. Microchip permanent ID is a safe, reliable and responsible way to help your pet get home. Keep contact information current with your microchip provider.

Never approach a loose dog that you do not know; a frightened dog may become aggressive out of fear and the desire to escape the loud noise.

On March 15, 1994, Palos Heights passed a referendum that said residents must be allowed the final say on whether or not new gambling comes into Palos Heights. That referendum passed 1,857 to 112 — 94 percent voted in favor.

The words of the referendum were: “Should Citizens be given the right to vote by municipal referendum prior to the induction or expansion of gambling within this municipality, including gambling riverboats, betting parlors, slot machines, video lottery terminals and casinos?”

Faced with the current possibility of the very most addictive kind of gambling (video gambling) being made available in

We claim that right to vote.

Double standards: Approve video gaming and move on Dear Editor: Funny that there is so much opposition to video gambling, yet we tolerate the annual raffle for the Classic Car Event, pool passes at the Farmer’s Market, and, even more shocking, Lottery ticket sales at selfserve machines!

four runs in the ninth to lose 9-8 in the nightcap. Anyone who stayed for all 18 innings deserves a statue built in their honor.

The baseball scene is miserable and Bears camp doesn’t start until July 25 in Bourbonnais.

So what can fans look forward to in the coming weeks?

I can’t help the rest of the Chicago area cope through these hard times, but I can give a few suggestions for those who live in the Palos-Orland area.

Brian Bogusevic, a DeLaSalle High School graduate from Palos Heights, was called up by the Cubs last week in a roster move corresponding with designating former AllStar pitcher Carlos Marmol for assignment.

Bogusevic, a 29-year-old outfielder, went 2-for-4 in his Cubs debut in a 5-4 victory over Milwaukee last Wednesday. He hit more than .400 in spring training and better than .300 at Triple-A Iowa since coming to the Cubs organization.

“This is where I wanted to be. It’s good to be here, and I’m excited to get a chance,” he told reporters after his callup.

“I think it’s tough for anybody

Dear Editor: In spite of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision, marriage remains the union of husband and wife, a timeless and universal institution that connects children to their mother and father.

All three branches of government, state and federal, should work to preserve our historic marriage laws — not undermine them.

Far too many people fail to understand the unique purpose and nature of marriage. It is the only relationship of interest to the government because it has the potential to produce children and is the best environment in which to raise the next generation of healthy and productive members of society.

It is deeply troubling to consider how these two rulings will

more anti-religious bigotry and persecution. While conservative people of faith and moral conscience should be able to freely exercise their religious beliefs, these newly manufactured rights are increasingly being used to quash individual liberties.

Regardless of these decisions, the High Court does not have the power to change the reality that children deserve both a mom and a dad. We will continue to do all we can do to educate citizens on the importance of natural marriage for children and society.

Local baseball pros are only game in town worth watching until Bears camp kicks off Now that the Stanley Cup Playoffs are history and the Blackhawks parade is over and the guy who scored the Game 6 winning goal is traded, fans of the pro sports scene in Chicago can turn their attention to…

Well, the Cubs entered this week’s action 35-45 with a three-game lead over Milwaukee to stay out of last place in the National League Central Division. Their top hitter, Ryan Sweeney, suffered a rib injury Saturday and will be out for a while.

Starting pitcher Travis Wood had a sparkling 2.85 ERA but only a 5-6 record to show for it. Jeff Samardzjia had a nice 3.28 ERA and was 5-7.

The South Side situation stinks even worse as the White Sox entered the week with a 32-47 mark — the fourth worst in baseball. Last Wednesday they were shut out for eight innings by Mets pitcher Sean Marcum, who entered the game with an 0-9 record.

And let’s not even think about that doubleheader from hell against Cleveland Friday in which the Sox scored five runs in the first and four in the fifth and still lost 19-10 in the opener and then gave up four runs in the first and

anytime they don’t end spring training where they want to be.

There’s only one thing you can do, and that’s go out there and play every day and work hard and hope for another chance.

“It’s a game where you’re not always going to get one chance. Sometimes there are second chances, and you have to make the most of any chance you get and the opportunity. That’s just the way baseball is.”

If you can’t stomach rooting for the Cubs, at least you can root for this guy.

Palos Park’s T.J. McFarland, a Stagg graduate, is another local player to pay attention to.

He’s a left-handed rookie long reliever that who had one win and a 4.14 ERA in his first 18 games for Baltimore.

The Orioles were in Chicago for a three-game series with the White Sox that ends today.

One member of the Baltimore media said that whenever McFarland pitches, “Twitter explodes with ‘this guy should be given a chance to start’ tweets.” McFarland starting is probably not on the radar at this point, but it bears watching down the line, especially with injuries and some other miseries the starting pitching

staff has been going through in Baltimore.

One more guy local fans can keep an eye on is Milwaukee middle reliever Tom Gorzelanny, a Marist graduate who lived in Orland Park for a while and pitched for the Cubs in 200910. The 30-year-old southpaw won 14 games for Pittsburgh in 2007. He had a sparkling 2.88 ERA with Washington last year and made an appearance in the National League Division Series against St. Louis last year. He owned a 2.41 ERA with Milwaukee in his first 30 appearances this year.

Gorzelanny had a unique moment when another exPirate, ex-Cub and current Brewer Aramis Ramirez notched his 2,000th career hit.

Ramirez smoked a pitch for a homer into the Brewers bullpen against the Cubs last Wednesday and Gorzelanny caught the ball with his cap.

A minor leaguer to root for is Shepard graduate Mike Recchia, who is getting a third chance with a major league organization with the White Sox. He is toiling for the Class A Kannapolis Intimidators in the South Atlantic League and is 2-0 with one save in this first four appearances with a 1.86

Earlier Dist. 230 start hour hinges on contract

by Jeff Vorva staff reporter Parents are getting anxious.

Will High School District 230 change its school hours for the coming school year?

Officials have not yet made an announcement. The issue was brought up in February and March and had flown under the radar the next few months. It has recently gone behind closed doors.

School starts in mid-August, it’s already July and there is no word yet.

“We are negotiating a contract with the teachers,” Board President Rick Nogal said after last Thursday’s board meeting. “We’re trying to come to an accord on that as a part of collective bargaining Photo by Jeff Vorva so we’re hoping to come to have District 230 Board President Richard Nogal said he hopes to soon an announcement soon.” have a decision on a longer school day for 2012-13, but it is tied in The district serves Stagg, Sandwith ongoing contract negotiations with the teachers. burg and Andrew high schools.

At a freshman parent orientation meeting last Wednesday at Sandburg, one parent said some parents were “up in arms” about not knowing the status of the school hours. The issue came up multiple times and parents were asking why it is taking so long for an answer, she said.

In February, Superintendent James Gay publicly presented the idea to the board to start the school day at 8 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m. Among his top reasons for the switch would be to allow for extra assistance for students who are struggling in a subject area of skill and to have additional teachers outside of class. He said that visiting teachers after school works for some students but not for those who need to take busses home.

“I’m passionate about this,” Gay said at the time. “I am passionate about giving the kids the support they need while we have

them in school.”

At the time, the sense of the rest of the board members was that it was a good idea but there was a debate on when it should be implemented.

Board member Kathy Quilty said: “I’m not against this but we put the cart in front of the horse. We were told it was going to happen in 2014-15. Things should have been eased into. I don’t think we should have brought this to the public until we had a presentation.

“I can’t go to Jewel without someone coming up to me and complaining.”

Outgoing board member Laura Murphy said in March that she has an incoming freshman in the district and didn’t want to waste a year, so she was in favor of moving it up to the coming school year.

Former Board President Frank Grabowski added: “The feedback

that we are receiving is ‘yes we need to do this and we need to do it sooner rather than later.’”

Meanwhile, time is running out.

Freshmen students report on Aug. 14 and the rest of the students report Aug. 15.

Despite the fact that Nogal calls the negotiation talks with the teachers “amicable” there are still issues that need to be ironed out before a contract is finalized.

The current three-year pact runs out Aug. 11. The teachers can still work under the current contract if an agreement is not reached by that point. But if negotiations continue to linger the district will have to make a decision on the longer school day.

“It could still happen for this school year,” district spokeswoman Cara Erdey said. “But if an agreement is not reached soon, we will have to put it off until the next school year.”

Dist. 230’s new website appears to be ‘all grown up’

by Jeff Vorva staff reporter The new District 230 website was scheduled to go live this week and preliminary comments before the launch were encouraging.

“It’s a completely different look,” District 230 spokeswoman Carla Erdey said. “Someone had described it to me as all grown up.

I was excited to hear that.”

Aside from the look, Erdey said the idea was to make it easier for residents to use.

“You can find information a lot more readily,” she said. “It’s a much more sophisticated look.

There are a lot of graphics and a lot more video and photo integration. We know that people communicate in different ways not just print and text.

“We’ll have really big and bold pictures because we think it’s important to highlight the faces of our students and staff. There will be an improved search function and staff directory so you can find

the contact information of a staff member more easily.”

Access to the site is at district. d230.org.

Budget banter The 2013 budget was amended at the board of education meeting last Thursday the district saved $350,000 due to lower replacement salaries and not replacing three staff members after 24 staff members retired and received back payments from the state.

They put that money to wipe out a $1.5 million debt to the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund 5+5 program, for non-certified support staff with a minimum of 20 years of certified service and a minimum age of 50.

“That program was at a 7.5 percent interest rate,” Board President Richard Nogal said.

“Since the state made another tardy payment and some funds were available we thought it would be prudent to retire that debt that

had a high interest rate.”

Assistant Superintendent of business Steve Langert said by paying off the debt now the district will save close to $500,000.

Heading to San Diego Erdey and Superintendent James Gay will give a presentation on the district’s S4 Initiative, also known as Successful Schools, Successful Students, Monday at the National School Public Relations Association in San Diego.

The initiative started in 2009 and had programs and seminars that hit hard on preparing students for the real word via talks with people in various occupations.

Orland police Lt. Bianchi named Orland Fire commissioner

by Jeff Vorva staff reporter In some communities, cops and firefighters work together but don’t always like each other.

In Orland Park, Police Lt. James Bianchi insists that’s not the case.

Still, he took some good-natured kidding about being a policeman from some of the Orland Fire Protection District brass after he was sworn in as one of the two new fire commissioners on Monday night at the administration center.

Bianchi and David Wagner were named new commissioners, but Wagner was not able to attend.

Bianchi, a Chicago native who graduated from St. Laurence High School and has a degree from Lewis University, has been on the Orland Park police force for 28 years. In his experience, the police and fire departments work well together, he said.

“We have a really good relationship with the fire department,” Bianchi said. “We’re really close. A lot of our guys hang out together.

I think it’s going to be very interesting. I’ve had some discussions with their guys about this position. I socialized with them one

Cook County Commissioner Liz Gorman swore in Bianchi. “He has shown great leadership in the community and the community is very lucky to have him,” she said.

The OFPD board of trustees appoints the three commissioners to three-year terms. The commissioners are responsible for regulating examinations for

original appointments, examinations for promotions and hearings of charges brought against members of the district.

Wagner served on the Orland Park Plan Commission for 13 years including five as the president. Wagner and Bianchi replaced Mary Beth Casper and John Brudnick and their terms end in 2016. They join Craig Schmidt, whose term expires in 2014.

“It’s nothing excessive. I don’t think that any building that we have is over the top. But I think it’s a condition of where we are and who our residents are.”

He wants necessary repair work done on all of these buildings by 2018.

“We’re going take a look at all of our facilities,” Brucki said.

“We have a study that is near complete. My plan is to take a look at the maintenance issues we have and correct them in a three-to-five year period so that we have a sustainable 15-to-20 year life cycle for all of those stations.”

He is getting a head start with Station 2.

The district’s board of trustees approved a bid of $724,872 to Orland Park-based Jeanes Construction Company during its June 25 meeting for the remodeling job.

That figure included a $65,000 cushion in the event something

Orland Fire Protection District Chief Ken Brucki has been on the job a little more than one year and is taking close notice of the district’s properties, which comprise six stations, a training facility and an administration building.

There were some things he liked. There were some things he didn’t care for, especially the overall condition of Station No. 2 at the corner of 151st Street and 80th Avenue.

So he is conducting a study on all of the buildings’ needs.

“We have an obligation to maintain these buildings,” Brucki said Monday, after a meeting of the board of fire commissioners. “We live in them. Working conditions is one of the things we’re obligated for our personnel in Orland Park. There is a standard of living here.

unforeseen happens during the remodeling.

“This will be a complete remodeling,” Brucki said. “It’s our second oldest firehouse and when it was built in 1980, it was never intended to be a full-time firehouse. Over the years, there were three additions to it. Its intended use has changed over the years as well as its size.”

The exterior will have a fresh look that won’t be an eyesore and will fit in with the community, Brucki added.

But the cosmetic look of the building is only a fraction of the changes.

“We’re going to bust up the floor and replace all of the plumbing,” he said. “The station has always had plumbing problems. Water backed up from the sewers in the showers and the toilets and we had mold and decay issues.

“We’ve had a significant amount of trouble at that station.”

The Fourth of July: America counts On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, setting the 13 colonies on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation. As always, this most American of holidays will be marked by parades, fireworks and backyard barbecues across the country.

2.5 million — In July 1776, the estimated number of people living in the newly independent nation.

316.2 million — The nation’s estimated population on this July Fourth.

56 — Number of signers to the Declaration of Independence.

Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston comprised the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration.

Jefferson, regarded as the strongest and most eloquent writer, wrote most of the document.

It’s also worth noting that: • John Hancock, President of the Second Continental Congress, was the first signer. This merchant by trade did so in an entirely blank space making it the largest and most famous signature — hence the term John Hancock, which is still used today as a synonym for signature. There are 7,354,043 businesses with paid employees in the U.S., according to the 2011 County Business Patterns.

• Benjamin Franklin (age 70), who represented Pennsylvania, was the oldest of the signers.

• Franklin County, Pa., had an estimated population of 151,275 as of July 1, 2012. Edward Rutledge (age 26), of South Carolina, was the youngest.

• Two future presidents signed, John Adams (second President)

and Thomas Jefferson (third President). Both died on the 50th anniversary of signing the Declaration (July 4, 1826). There are 12 counties nationwide named Adams and 26 named Jefferson.

• Robert Livingston, who represented New York, was on the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence but was recalled by his state before he could sign it. Livingston County, N.Y., was home to an estimated 64,810 people as of July 1, 2012.

• Representing Georgia in 1776 were Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall and George Walton. Gwinnett County, Ga. (842,046), Hall County, Ga. (185,416) and Walton County, Ga. (84,575) were named for these signers.

• Charles Carroll, who represented Maryland, was the last surviving member of the signers of the Declaration. He died in 1832 at the age of 95. Carroll County, Md., named for him, had an estimated population of 167,217 as of July 1, 2012.

• Roger Sherman, who worked as a land surveyor and lawyer, represented Connecticut. Today, there are an estimated 30,445 surveyors, cartographers and photogrammetrists employed full time, year-round, and 840,813 lawyers employed full time, year-round nationwide, according to the 2011 American Community Survey.

• Nelson County, Va. (14,827) and Wythe County, Va. (29,251) were named for two of the six signers who represented the state of Virginia — Thomas Nelson Jr. and George Wythe. $218.2 million — The value of fireworks imported from China in 2012, representing the bulk of all U.S. fireworks imported

($227.3 million). U.S. exports of fireworks, by comparison, came to just $11.7 million in 2012, with Israel purchasing more than any other country ($2.5 million). $231.8 million — The value of U.S. manufacturers’ shipments of fireworks and pyrotechnics (including flares, igniters, etc.) in 2007. $3.8 million — In 2012, the dollar value of U.S. imports of American flags. The vast majority of this amount ($3.6 million) was for U.S. flags made in China. $614,115 — Dollar value of U.S. flags exported in 2012. Mexico was the leading customer, purchasing $188,824 worth. $302.7 million — Dollar value of shipments of fabricated flags, banners and similar emblems by the nation’s manufacturers in 2007, according to the latest published economic census statistics.

59 — Fifty-nine places contain the word “liberty” in the name.

Pennsylvania, with 11, has more of these places than any other state. Of the 59 places nationwide containing “liberty” in the name, four are counties: Liberty County, Ga. (65,471), Liberty County, Fla. (8,276), Liberty County, Mont.

(2,392) and Liberty County, Texas (76,571). One place has “patriot” in its name. Patriot, Ind., has an estimated population of 209.

The most common patrioticsounding word used within place names is “union” with 136. Pennsylvania, with 33, has more of these places than any other state.

Other words most commonly used in place names are Washington (127), Franklin (118), Jackson (96) and Lincoln (95). $109.8 billion — Dollar value of trade last year between the

United States and the United Kingdom, making the British, our adversary in 1776, our sixth-leading trading partner today.

65.9 million — Number of all hogs and pigs on March 1, 2013.

Chances are that the pork hot dogs and sausages consumed on the Fourth of July originated in Iowa.

The Hawkeye State was home to 20.3 million hogs and pigs. North Carolina (8.9 million) and Minnesota (7.8 million) were also homes to large numbers of pigs.

6.3 billion pounds — Total estimated production of cattle and calves in Texas in 2012. Chances are good that the beef hot dogs, steaks and burgers on your backyard grill came from the Lone Star State, which accounted for nearly one-sixth of the nation’s total production. And if the beef did not come from Texas, it very well may have come from Nebraska (estimated at 5.1 billion pounds) or Kansas (estimated at 3.8 billion pounds).

6 — Number of states in which the value of broiler chicken production was estimated at $1 billion or greater between December 2011 and November 2012. There is a good chance that one of these states — Georgia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi or Texas — is the source of your barbecued chicken.

345 million — Acreage planted of potatoes in Idaho in 2012, the most in the nation. Washington followed with 165 million acres.

The total 2012 potato crop is forecast to exceed 467 million hundredweight (cwt), the highest level since 2000 when 523 million cwt was produced. Potato salad is a popular food item at Fourth of July barbecues.

“There’s been some mixup about his 94 West restaurant and his restaurant in Tinley Park [the Charley Horse] having problems,” McLaughlin said. “There were some pictures in the press apparently of 94 West. He said he lost some bookings and business with people thinking he is out of business or going out of business.

“We want all our businesses to be successful. He’s planning on celebrating his 10th anniversary in 94 West. He’s taking a hit on the misconceptions of what restaurants are in trouble.”

Medical equipment supply scams target senior citizens, so beware From Palos Park Police Chief Joe Miller You may have seen offers for free wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, or other medical equipment.

But be careful about signing up for one of these offers, because it could be a scam to defraud Medicare.

The scam basically involves creating fake medical equipment companies then finding people to sign up to receive free equipment.

In some cases real medical equipment suppliers are involved in the scheme. Once the person signs up

for the free supplies, the fraudsters bill the patient’s insurance company and keep the money.

Con artists have obtained patient information and billed insurers for medical equipment that was never ordered. One medical supply company in Texas even took advantage of an expedited claims process after hurricanes for wheelchairs that were supposedly destroyed in the storms.

Medical equipment companies are facing new requirements to get accredited later this year. They’ll also have to pay for a surety bond that will help protect Medicare

from fraudulent claims.

“Now they actually have to invest some money to go to the trouble of defrauding us … Plus, the bond providers will have an interest in vetting the suppliers themselves,” Kim Brandt director of program integrity for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told the Wall Street Journal.

Here are some ways to protect yourself from becoming a victim of medical equipment fraud: • Avoid signing blank insurance forms.

• Avoid giving personal infor-

mation to unsolicited medical supply salespeople who call you or come to your home.

• Always review your insurance companies explanation of benefits statements.

• Only reveal your insurance or Medicare information to people who actually provide you with medical services.

There are legitimate medical equipment suppliers out there.

Just make sure you know who you’re doing business with, and ask your doctor to explain exactly why you need to order a particular piece of equipment.

What is distraction burglary at the door?

ORLAND PARK POLICE responded to calls of loud noise and an individual dancing on a vehicle in a driveway in the 9300 block of Wherry Lane, police said. Police initially observed no disturbance, and left after advising Mazie to respect his neighbors, however he then exited his residence and yelled and cursed outside of his neighbors’ homes, alarming and disturbing some of them, according to the police report. No hearing information for Mazie was provided in the report.

David M. Lyons, 18, of Orland Park, was cited with retail theft at 3 p.m. June 11, police said. Lyons allegedly took a Panasonic tablet, which had a retail value of under $300, from a store in the Orland Park Place Mall. Because he had no prior arrests, Lyons received only a municipal violation citation, police said. He has a hearing date of July 9 at the Civic Center in Orland Park.

Do your part to foil distraction burglars by passing on this infor-

It is especially important that victims do not let their embarrassment about falling for a ruse keep them from reporting the crimes. Do not let down your guard even if the person knocking on your door is female or has children in tow. This is another strategy for getting residents to relax their guard.

Distraction burglary is a crime in which elderly persons are often the targets. The perpetrator seeks to draw a resident out of the house on a pretext. While the resident is occupied, an accomplice enters the home and picks up valuables such as money and jewelry. Thieves may also pick up papers with the intent of committing identity theft. In a variation, the accomplice enters the dwelling by a second door while the resident is occupied at the other door.

To prevent distraction burglary, be suspicious of anyone who comes to your door under any of these guises: Utility worker; Public official; Police officer; Firefighter; Door-to-door salesperson; Person asking about a lost pet; Lost person asking for directions; Person

asking about working on the property and Surveyor.

In a recent variation, criminals tell the residents that they have won a gift card or other prize.

In the case of someone claiming to be on official business, it’s a good idea to ask for identification, but that can be faked. It’s a better idea to call the agency and confirm that there are legitimate workers in the area. Be especially suspicious of anyone who wants access to your home. In addition, follow these other practices: Do not leave your purse or wallet out in the open.

Keep jewelry and small valuables in a safe. Use jewelry boxes only for costume jewelry.

Keep all doors locked. If you believe a caller has a legitimate reason to get you out of the house, pick up your key and lock the house behind you.

Virginia Richards (1914 - 1995)

Trying to contend with weather (From July 4, 1985) Avis Carlson, who writes a column for the St. Louis PostDispatch and who is a friend of a friend of mine, writes that she is constantly confused by the conflicting advice handed down by the health experts. On the subject of how to conduct oneself during extremes of weather, she says there are two schools of thought.

When the weather is extremely hot, half the experts advice, “Stay in your air-conditioned home. Don’t go out in this blistering heat. You might get heatstroke.”

The other half advises, “Take your walk early in the morning, but take it. You need the exercise.

It’s good for you.”

From July 3, 2003

What to do? Whose advice should I follow?

Then, in winter, when the snow and ice cover everything, some experts advise, “Stay in the house.

You could get frostbite or fall on the ice and break a bone.”

Others advise, “Be careful, but take your walk. You need the exercise.” Again what to do?

We have solved the problem of weather extremes. In summer we live in northern Wisconsin, where the temperature seldom goes above 90 degrees and is usually in the 70’s.

In winter we live in central Texas and never encounter ice and snow.

Still, we do have problems with the weather. Last winter we had

several freezes in Texas. These are not supposed to occur there, but our dead plants and shrubs attest to the fact that they did.

Here in Wisconsin, we planted our garden the last of May. Since then we have had several frost warnings, none of which materialized, but that did not prevent our having to run out and cover the tomato plants.

Also, we have to contend with the wind. It broke off one of our tomato plants, and this morning I see that it has blown down the “tepee” that we erected for our pole beans to run on.

And so, although we feel that we have the best of both worlds as far as climate is concerned, nothing is ever perfect.

Pick of the Litter

By Dr. John R. Fleming, DVM Written this week

by Connie Fleming [Saving E.B., Part II] After leaving our little dog E.B. at the Colorado State University Veterinary School Teaching Hospital for his first day of sedation and imaging, I felt suddenly tired.

All the days of preparation and anxiety and the 1,000-mile trip seemed to catch up with me. Now our job was to wait.

We left E.B. at the Vet School and we were told to come back late afternoon, so we decided to drive up to Poudre Canyon to see the mountains near Fort Collins.

We drove 40 miles to the town of Rustic. There wasn’t much there, except a gas pump, a general store and restaurant.

John asked the girl at the general store, “Is this the town?”

She answered, “I don’t really know what we are.” And so, we headed back.

The mountains, or foothills, near Fort Collins are very dry, and there are burned out areas from last year’s forest fires. Colorado Springs, south of Denver, was in the grips of wildfires while we were in Fort Collins.

As we came into town, we received a call from the Vet school’s resident ophthalmologist about an ulcer on E.B.’s right eye. E.B.’s inability to blink had resulted in an indolent (slow-healing) ulcer of the cornea.

By the end of the afternoon we were still waiting to hear if E.B. was OK after his first radiation treatment. Finally we were told that he had not received treatment yet, and John was concerned. Dr. Lana, the medical oncologist, took us into a room and told us that developing an individual treatment plan can take from eight to 30 hours. All of the information from the MRI and CT scan is entered into a computerized program to develop a plan with the SRT (stereotactic radiation therapy) machine. The doctors then further refine the plan, often fighting with the computers, to limit radiation to only cancerous tissue. All of this is done to give the best possible treatment and no radiation is given until all doctors on the team are satisfied with the plan. Now we

E.B. did receive his first radiation later that day. Dr. Custis came to the waiting room to tell us that E.B. was sedated and they would start shortly on the tumor. John told him to “get that sucker.” Dr. Custis said, “We’ll give it hell.”

Here is a man dedicating his life’s work to fighting cancer, and it is quite a fight. From vet school to private practice to residency and now faculty at CSU, Dr. Custis has worked long and hard. He stayed with us into the evening and we learned later that he was back at the vet school at 6 a.m. the next morning. He told us, in response to my question of what caused this tumor, “I can tell you two things about cancer — it’s unpredictable and it’s unfair.”

E.B. responded well to the radiation and anesthesia, coming out a little sleepy but happy to see us.

We went home for the evening with instructions to return early the next morning for his second treatment.

We then headed back to the vet school as E.B. was ready early and he came out looking frisky and happy. The only problem was that his right eye looked more irritated, so it was decided to treat the ulcer that afternoon. We left for a few hours and then John and Dr. Adam King worked on E.B.’s eye. Dr. King showed John a diamond brush instrument for debriding the ulcer to induce healing, and John has since then pur-

Dr. Fleming and E.B. at the Flint Animal Cancer Center at CSU in Fort Collins, Colo. chased one for use in our clinic.

E.B. came home wearing a large plastic cone around his head to keep him from scratching his eye.

Now our concern shifted from how E.B. was responding to radiation to how he was responding to the treatment of his eye. We learned later that sometimes pets will lose the eye affected by the trigeminal nerve sheath tumor.

The nerve can no longer stimulate the muscles around the eye to blink, causing dryness and irritation and ulcers. Fortunately, my husband noticed E.B.’s lack of blink response early, but many times it is undetected.

We now had one more day of radiation treatment and another procedure on E.B.’s eye while he

Screening Day. The National Center for PTSD reports about 60 percent of men and 50 percent of women experience at least one traumatic event. Of those, about 8 percent of men and 20 percent of women will develop PTSD. When in danger, it’s natural to feel afraid. This fear triggers many split-second changes in the body to prepare to defend against the danger or to avoid it.

The “fight-or-flight” response is a healthy reaction meant to protect a person from harm.

But in PTSD, this reaction is changed or damaged. People who have PTSD may feel stressed or frightened even when they’re no longer in danger.

While it is normal for most people to have some stress reactions after a traumatic event, if

Depression affects more than half the people diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, according to a recent study published in the June edition of the Journal of Traumatic Stress.

Researchers from Case Western Reserve University looked at 57 studies, which included more than 6,600 civilians and military personnel who suffered from PTSD, an anxiety disorder some people develop after seeing or living through a dangerous event. The conclusion was that 52 percent of participants also showed symptoms of depression.

was sedated. We packed our things at the hotel and prepared to leave as soon as E.B. was done. Dr. Custis greeted us to discuss E.B.’s progress and recovery.

When John said he’s hoping to get one more year with E.B., Dr. Custis seemed surprised and said he’s hoping for a lot more than that! Good news again! Then Dr. Custis invited us on a private tour of the Cancer Center. It is quite an amazing place that treats both small and large animals, horses included, and even the infamous bear from the movie, “Legends of the Fall.” The great paw that took down Brad Pitt in the movie was treated for a cancerous growth at CSU. Dr. Custis showed us their huge CT machine, their computer lab, amazing software images of E.B.’s head and tumor, their radiation target of the tumor, and finally the SRT machine (linear accelerator) itself where E.B. received radiation treatment.

It’s pretty amazing that all this was available to treat our little dog. The Flint Animal Cancer Center is also involved in cancer research and many aspects of what is done there is translational to human medicine.

We left the Cancer Center with grateful hearts for the incredible treatment and the hope that was given to extend E.B.’s life. He has shown no side effects from the radiation, although we are still dealing with the ulcer on his cornea. The medications he has been on since we found the tumor do make him either hyper-hungry (prednisone) or super-sleepy (gabapentin), but he will be weaned off these meds soon.

So, the journey we took was rather “epic”. The verdict will come in time, but for now, we are satisfied that we did what we could for our little friend. Our journey may not be the right choice for some, but for us, it was necessary and we would be happy to talk with anyone considering similar treatment. It was important for us to be in agreement about our decision. For me, fear of the unknown held me back at times, but I am so thankful that my husband led us to take E.B. for treatment. Hopefully, our story can be an encouragement to those in a similar situation facing any inoperable tumor.

Treasure Chest in Orland sends gifts to youngsters

The Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (POTCF) of Orland Park was overjoyed recently to receive an enormous donation of $7,800 from the Sharon L. Denning Charitable Trust, courtesy of the trust’s founder, Leon Denning, of Palos Heights.

The donation will directly benefit children and teens fighting cancer.

The POTCF is a non-profit organization that provides comfort and distraction from painful procedures to children and teens diagnosed with cancer by providing a toy, gift or gift card in 44 hospitals across 15 states nationwide. The Charitable Trust was created by Denning in remembrance of his beloved wife, Sharon L. Denning.

“I prefer donating to an organization where you can see where the money is going,” said Denning.

“With the Treasure Chest Foundation, I know that my donation is not dissipated in promotional advertising and excessive administration expenses.”

Palos Park Presbyterian recreates The Old West Vacation Bible school at Palos Park Presbyterian Community Church last month saw 239 children “saddle up their horses” and get on over to SonWest Roundup, the VBS theme this year.

The children had the opportunity to discover a colorful old town, where all the excitement of the Wild West awaited them. Some 125 volunteers helped produce and run the week-long VBS including Maggie Downs, director of children’s work, and Mona Tapia, VBS director.

The animals for the pony rides and the little animals in the pen came from Memory Lane Stables, 8290 S. Kean Ave., in Willow Springs.

Shown on the pony is VBS student Julian Tapia.

The children learned many new songs that they sang each day and also sang for the congregation on the closing Sunday of Bible school. They also enjoyed food, games, music and crafts each day, along exciting stories and memory verses.

The church mission theme this year was helping to provide clean water for people in need.

Dance studio will enliven dead retail strip

by Jeff Vorva staff reporter

The City Council voted Tuesday night to grant a special-use permit to allow the Perfection Dance A dance academy with national Artistry to open a dance studio credentials will be moving into in half of a vacant commercial Palos Heights this summer. strip at 6350 W. 135th St. next door to the 7-Eleven at 135th and Ridgeland Avenue.

The studio hosts a national-caliber dance team that might not be as famous at the Abby Lee Dance Company featured on the television series “Dance Moms,” but has some dancers who will soon compete in a national competition that Abby Lee Miller is organizing.

The new facility is expected to open Aug. 3.

Perfection Dance Artistic Director Alyssa Johnson, who resides nearby in Oak Forest, started the company in the Algonquin and Elgin areas and sees a demand for a dance studio in this area.

“I have a couple of national dancers who will be coming here Photos by Jeff Vorva three times a week,” Johnson said.

will be the first time I will have more than 10 students so it will be a new venture for me.

“I’ve had a lot of interest from dancers and mothers,” she added.

“The only other dance studio in Palos [the Fine Arts Stageworks] just closed down and they support us.”

Aside from the competitive teams, there will be lessons available for dancers of all levels including beginners, Johnson said.

Some students will learn from some of the best dancers in Illinois and the United States.

East Dundee’s Hannah Johnson is a national champion who just graduated from Dundee-Crown High School and will attend Elgin Community College in the fall.

Johnson said she won’t mind making the trip from the Northwest Suburbs to Palos because she loves the Perfection company.

“This is like my family,” she said. “I’ve been with this company for a couple of years and when I was little I switched studios every year. But since I met Alyssa I knew this is where I wanted to be.”

The commercial strip at 6350 W. 135th St. in Palos Heights has been vacant since it was built in 2011.

Half of the space will be taken over by Perfection Dance Artistry.

Alyssa Johnson has a long dancing resume.

She started to dance competitively at age 3 and trained at the School of Ballet in Chicago, the Joffrey Ballet and Xtreme Dance Force, according to her website biography. She also performed as a Chicago Hot Rox Dancer in 2009, worked as a backup dancer and choreographer for

Plus, you can fund your IRA with virtually any type of investment, including stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit and Treasury securities.

What else can you do to help yourself move toward financial independence? For one thing, don’t become dependent on “hot tips” or other questionable financial advice about The Next Big Thing in the investment world from so-called experts who often have poor prognostication records. Even more importantly, though, their advice may simply be inappropriate for your needs and risk tolerance.

Finally, consider these two suggestions: Maintain adequate liquidity and keep your debt levels as low as possible. By having enough cash reserves to cover un-

expected costs, such as a major car repair or a new air-conditioning unit, you won’t have to dip into your long-term investments. And by keeping your debt payments down, you’ll have a stronger cash flow, which means you’ll have more money available to save and invest for your future.

Each one of these suggestions will require a commitment on your part, along with a clear focus on your goal of financial independence — there just aren’t any “short cuts.” But with a consistent effort, you can keep moving along on your journey toward your own Financial Independence Day.

My diaries from the set of ‘Man of Steel’ In the depths of my mind reside memories of Sept. 7, 8, 9, 12 and 13 of 2011 with treasured vividness.

A glorious haze of bewilderment, fascination and joy surrounds this time. A thrill I had never before experienced was enjoyed for this non sequitar series of dates. Retreating from the banality of a week of classes at my university, I was scuttling off downtown to be in the film “Man of Steel.”

My dear mother informed me about an open casting for film extras set to take place in Naperville, Plano and Chicago by Warner Bros. under the alias “Autumn Frost” for what was merely known to be a new Superman movie. My two sisters, my mother and I attended the Chicago casting on Saturday, June 25, 2011 at the Chicago Academy for the Arts on West Chicago Ave. The sidewalk was sardined with eager people — approximately 2000, it was later found. The process was quick; fill out a form, wait in line, give your information, wait in line, get a photo snapped at lightning rapidity, leave the building wondering if your face made it onto the image.

A couple weeks passed without a chirp of change. As I was watching a DVR episode of “Mad Men” one morning, my cell phone rang and the voice on the other end informed me that I was selected to be on what they called the “core group of the Daily Planet.”

I reacted with forced calm and took down the information for a scheduled wardrobe fitting and the filming dates. Once I hung up and regained a sense of reality, I mused, “The core of the planet?” Although I had watched Smallville plenty of times (if only to see Michael Rosenbaum play the lusciously scalped Lex Luther) I did not realized the voice was talking about the newspaper the Daily Planet, so I decidedly thought, “Oh, I understand, I am going to be an alien on the planet Krypton, probably due to the fact that I am a girl with short hair and people deem it ‘edgy.’”

As instructed, on the day of the fitting, I lugged my school bag and a second bag full of my qualifying attire requested by the wardrobe department out of Italian class, hitched a bus ride and arrived at a remote building full of large garages and doors with letter labels. As I approached a woman at the desk inside, she asked, “You here for the Playboy casting?” I responded with an uneasy “No, ahem, Autumn Frost?” “Oh, right up this elevator to floor [blah blah].”

Upon arriving at the floor, I met

singer Jeremih and opened for artists TI and Ludacris. She also danced with Jump Smokers at the B96 Jingle Bash, opening for artists including Justin Bieber, Keri Hilson and Sean Kingston, her biography said.

The Palos Heights dance school will have a 27-by-30-feet studio and a 25-by-20-feet studio plus a lounge area and apparel shop. A

building permit was issued to the facility in May 2011. It has remained vacant since it was built.

The school is looking to be open after school hours.

“This might help bring other businesses to that area,” Johnson said.

The Perfection group is entered in Thursday’s Palos Heights Independence Day parade.

Free Wi-Fi opens ID theft portal On a summer vacation, you should be able to sit back and relax, not worry about your identity being stolen. Unfortunately, there have been more and more reports of scammers trying to collect personal information by creating unsecured Wi-Fi zones near hotels that guests can connect to for free.

“Checking personal and work email, as well as updating social media posts while on vacation are common,” said Steve J. Bernas, president and CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. “Scammers know that because many hotels charge for Wi-Fi, a free connection looks appealing. However, by connecting to an unknown and unsecure Wi-Fi connection, you are letting the owner of the connection see all your Internet activity,” Bernas stated. “This could include your personal information, banking information and other Internet browsing activity.”

The BBB chief explained that when something claims to be free, it should always be a red flag to be cautious. “If you must connect to the Internet, paying the hotel

fee may be worth it rather than having your personal information wind up in the hands of criminals,” he noted.

The BBB offers the following advice for vacationers looking to connect to Wi-Fi zones: • Use extreme caution when connecting to Wi-Fi on vacation.

Connecting to free Wi-Fi zones can endanger you because of the transparency between your device and the owner of the connection. If you must connect to the Internet, use the hotel’s Wi-Fi, as it is less likely to be hacked.

• Avoid Wi-Fi connections near conferences or large events. If there is a big event going on near your location, be wary of Wi-Fi connections, since criminals look at these events as opportunities to gather personal information of individuals.

• Make sure your computer is not set up to automatically connect to networks. If you are set up to connect to networks, you could be connecting to an unknown, unsecured network without knowing it.

Millions celebrate Stanley Cup

Blackhawks win 2nd NHL crown in four seasons

by Kevin M. Coyne and Jason Maholy

as one of America’s worst-run professional sports franchises.

The Hawks prior to the 2010 After the Blackhawks won playoffs had qualified for the the Stanley Cup four seasons postseason twice in the past 11 ago victory, fans who had not seasons, and there was a time so much as thought about NHL in the not so distant past that hockey for several years — possi- tickets could not be given away; bly ever — started coming out of literally, an ESPN Chicago prothe woodwork to support a team motion during those lean years that in the early years of the once found no takers for free new millennium was regarded tickets.

Those dog days are over. All but forgotten. History. The previous two paragraphs may be the last time that era is ever mentioned in print.

Amazing what two championships in four seasons will do.

Today, after bringing Lord Stanley’s Cup home to Chicago in both 2010 and 2013, the Hawks are the toast of the town; and the exponential growth of the team’s

fanb a s e contributed last week to one of the largest championship celebrations in Chicago history. An estimated 2 million people — which if accurate would represent more than 20 percent of the population in the Chicago metropolitan area — descended on downtown Chicago last Friday for a parade and rally held to honor the guys Hawks’ goalie Corey Crawford called “the biggest bunch of beauties in the league.”

Old fans, new fans and bandwagon jumpers alike, some wearing No. 7 for Chelios

or Seabrook or No. 27 for either Roenick or Oduya, were draped in black and red and constituted a sea of people that cheered on Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Stanley Cup heroes Brian Bickell and Dave Bolland and the rest of the crew.

For Chrissy Sipla, 24, of Chicago, there was never a doubt in her mind the Hawks would come home from Boston with the Cup. “I’ve been a Hawks fan my entire life, even when tickets were $10 a piece,” Sipla said. “I know there are a lot of new fans since the Hawks won the Cup in 2010, but it’s still great to have such good fans in Chicago.”

R.J. Puoli of Schaumburg was in Grant Park cheering on the Hawks amidst fans’ chants of winger Marian Hossa’s name and renditions of the introduc- Chicago residents Mike Lowe (from left), Pete Rose, Tommy Brodie and Nikki Rose were among the tion to The Fratellis’ “Chelsea fans who attended last Friday’s celebratory events in downtown Chicago.

Dagger.” Puolieither watched or listened to every game this abbreviated NHL season, he said. He recounted how he had chills before the decisive Game 6, and the excitement of the Hawks beating the Boston Bruins, 3-2 and clinching the Cup with two 17 goals seconds apart late in the third period.

“I’m still trying to actually comprehend it right now to this day,” he said of the tallies by Bickell and Bolland, the latter’s coming with 58 seconds remaining in regulation. “Me and my buddies were all there sitting at the bar, we see two minutes left and we’re down a goal and that’s just to tie it. I got the chills, and boom-boom, there we go and there we win it.

“I feel like a part of the team, I wish I could be of the team,” he continued. “I’m just happy to be part of this. It’s a heck of an experience, not just for me, for Chicago, for everyone.”

Chicago resident Megan Meo never stopped believing in the Hawks, the NHL’s best team from their season-opening points streak to the Finals — even when the squad was down three games to one to the Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference semifinals.

“I kept saying during the Finals, ‘you can’t stop believing,’ ” said Meo, 25. “From start to finish the Hawks were the best team this season. I knew we were going to pull it out in Game 6 with the Cup, it was a crazy game and I was on the edge of my seat, but I knew somehow we’d walk away with the Cup.” Mike Kruzel and Marcus P of Chicago’s South Side came to the rally with an oversized Stanley Cup championship flag and a homemade Stanley Cup built from cardboard and duct tape. P had stayed up until 3 a.m. the morning of the celebration making the trophy, which featured a red plastic bowl that contained a curious residue.

“You can drink out of it,” P said of his Cup, adding that he had, in fact, been drinking “everything and anything you can think of” out of it. Should the Hawks win the Cup again next season, he plans to house a minikeg in the replica’s bottom.

For 26-year-old Val Neuzali, the Stanley Cup is representative of all Chicagoans. ““I’m from right here, baby.

I’m from the city with the Cup,” Neuzali said emphatically. “This is the greatest city in the world with the greatest hockey team in the world.”

By Ken Karrson Unlike in 2012, there have been no triple-digit temperatures with which to deal so far this summer.

The milder climate has done nothing to cool off Sandburg, however. In fact, the Eagles have been pretty hot right from the onset of the summer-league schedule.

Things haven’t gone off completely without a hitch — last week, for example, one disastrous inning cost Sandburg dearly against Brother Rice. But the 5-3 loss the Eagles eventually suffered on Tuesday was one of only two doled out to them in their first seven contests.

Sandburg’s other outing last week went far better, as the Eagles crushed Oak Forest 25-0.

“Hopefully, we make a nice run in the summer, and we can use that to make a nice run in the spring [of 2014],” Eagles assistant coach George Fear said. “I feel pretty comfortable with our pitching staff.”

As well he should. While Sandburg’s bats, like those of several other clubs, have literally been a hit-or-miss proposition from one game to the next, the Eagles’ arms have been steady.

“In seven games, we’ve given up three earned runs — we’ll take that,” Fear said. “On paper, the staff looks good, but that doesn’t mean anything until the spring comes.”

Maybe not, but there’s no denying that several guys delivered impressive performances in June.

Senior-to-be Ben Gresla did not surrender an earned run in his first eight stanzas of work, while senior-to-be Matthias Dietz struck out five, walked one and allowed only two hits through his first seven frames on the hill.

Dietz’s latest effort was a fourinning stint versus Rice, during which time the Crusaders managed just one hit. With Dan Santiago (two hits, two runs), Julian Gutierrez (two hits) and Peter Paxinos (one hit, one RBI) giving the offense a little juice, Sandburg carried a 2-0 lead into the fifth.

“The first four innings kind of had a feel of, ‘Hey, this could be a big playoff game potentially [because] these are two pretty good teams,’” Fear said. “Then we decided to give the game away.

We had a bit of a meltdown in the fifth.”

That meltdown included four fielding errors, which forced reliever Gresla to fan four batters and still not emerge unscathed.

Three more miscues in the sixth pretty much sealed the Eagles’ fate.

Interestingly, the sudden bout of sloppiness did not result from a wholesale makeover in personnel, a practice that is common for most teams during the summertime since a main objective is to grant playing time to as many athletes as possible in each contest.

“We just didn’t play well in those two innings,” Fear said. “It was a pretty positive effort for the most part, but [the fifth] was just a goofy, very strange inning. We just didn’t execute well.”

There were no such slip-ups against Oak Forest, which was victimized by a 16-run first inning in which Sandburg stroked a baker’s dozen worth of hits.

“It was pretty incredible, right down the line,” Fear said, “and it was very good to see.”

Chris Stearns’ bases-clearing triple and two-run double were both part of the Eagles’ opening blitz, and Gutierrez (two-run homer) and Alec Martinez (two hits, three RBI) contributed to the cause later on. Although the run total was unexpected, Sandburg’s ability to quickly rebound from the tough loss to Rice didn’t surprise Fear.

“I think the guys understand

it’s a day-to-day thing [performance-wise],” he said.

Part of the reason for that, in Fear’s opinion, is the switch away from aluminum bats, which began in 2012.

“The bats have had a huge impact,” he said. “Good hitters still find a way [to be effective] because they’re mechanically sound, but it’s made average hitters below average. It seems everyone’s in the same boat as far as run production.

“You really have to put pressure on defenses. Outfielders are daring you to hit the ball over their heads, so you’ve got to string together hits.”

Among the Eagles’ other conquests this summer have been Richards (2-1), Eisenhower (7-1) and Bremen (17-0).

CHICAGO CHRISTIAN The Knights were in fine form last week, as they netted victories over Eisenhower (10-0), Illiana Christian (3-0) and Rich Central (14-3). The trio of triumphs improved Chicago Christian’s ledger to 7-3.

Like Sandburg, the Knights have been riding strong pitching displays to success. Josh Novak threw 6 1/3 innings of shutout ball at the Vikings on Tuesday, which came on the heels of five scoreless frames tossed by sophomore-to-be Trevor Wolderink one day earlier versus the Cardinals.

“We played 19 innings this [past] week and gave up runs in one of those innings,” Christian assistant coach Alex Bolyanatz said. “Our team ERA is under two, and none of this is surprising [after a 30-win spring season].

“I think [head coach Eric Brauer] has done a good job of establishing something. The experienced players know what is expected, and I think these guys understand each game has an identity of its own.”

Certainly, Novak, who earned all-area recognition in the spring, is no stranger to what’s required.

He demonstrated that by handcuffing Illiana in his first extended action of the summer.

“He told me, ‘I’m ready to go as long as I can,’ and I was happy to let him do that,” Bolyanatz said.

The Knights gave Novak all the batting support he required by plating four runs over the first two stanzas. Stroking key hits were Mike Santarelli (RBI double), Jack De Vries (RBI double) and Ron Clark (RBI).

Christian prospered despite garnering just five hits, which continued a springtime trend.

Back then, the Knights seemed to make a habit of maximizing their scoring opportunities, no matter how few were presented.

“The kid who pitched for [Illiana] did a good job,” Bolyanatz said. “He was throwing strikes for the most part. I don’t remember us getting many free passes.”

Clark (double, triple, three RBI), Novak (two hits) and De Vries (two hits) were the offensive headliners for Chicago Christian opposite Eisenhower. De Vries was also a big gun in the Knights’ rout of Rich Central, going 4-for-4 to finish the week 7-for-10 and with a team-best .452 average through 10 contests.

“He has a great mentality,” Bolyanatz said of De Vries. “He’ll hit a couple of at-‘em balls, but he shrugs it off. He knows that’s the randomness of baseball.

“And he’s getting better at what he does best — he’s a gap-to-gap hitter and he gets the barrel [of the bat] on it. He’ll have a bad swing or two, but he won’t have a bad at-bat, and he’s not afraid of having two strikes on him.”

Christian Bolhuis and Sean O’Meara teamed up on the hill to keep Rich Central’s attack under wraps on Thursday. The Olympians were one of the bet-

ter south-suburban squads during the spring campaign, so Bolyanatz was glad to see Chicago Christian prevail by such a wide margin.

“I think these guys look forward to playing the good programs,” he said of his athletes. “I think you benefit from playing good teams.

Certainly, they’re anxious about it, but that’s the fun of it. That’s how you get juice.”

De Vries is one of a half-dozen Knights currently sporting an average above. 320. Also in that group are O’Meara (.429), Max Kerfin (.379), Santarelli (.350), Pat McCarthy (.333 with a teamhigh .522 on-base percentage) and Clark (.321). In addition, Bolyanatz dubbed youngster Drew Van Buren (.286) as a “pretty pleasant surprise.”

OAK LAWN Generating potency on offense continued to be something of a problem for the Spartans last week, but not enough of one to prevent them from gaining a split in two outings.

While coach Bill Gerny wasn’t enamored of Oak Lawn’s 13-2 defeat at St. Laurence’s hands on Wednesday, there was plenty to like about the Spartans’ showing against Romeoville on Monday.

There, the threesome of Mitch Swatek, Marcus Montes and Matt Dunne joined forces on the mound to stymie that other group of Spartans and help Oak Lawn (4-6) bag a 2-1 win.

“Those are three pitchers we’re going to rely on next year and Romeoville really couldn’t do anything with them,” Gerny said.

“Our pitching looks like it’s going to be strong, which is good because I think we’re going to have an offense similar to last year’s.”

That means the Spartans will have to scrape together runs, which they did on this occasion.

Oak Lawn knocked out nine hits against Romeoville, but only Dunne’s single resulted in an RBI. The locals’ other marker came on Brandon Quillin’s groundout.

Kevin Zurek supplied the Spartans’ lone extra-base hit with his seventh-inning triple, but that safety went for naught. Also drawing praise from Gerny was Bobby Beard, who donned the catching gear for the first time and performed well.

“It seems like he’s got a good sense of awareness back there,” Gerny said. “Guys weren’t stealing on him.

“We’re getting to the point where we have more athletes [than baseball-only individuals] and we’re trying guys in different spots. We want guys to become comfortable in several positions.”

No one was very comfortable against St. Laurence, which erupted for seven runs in the third frame and shoved Oak Lawn into an inescapable hole. The Spartans’ lone runs were picked up in the fifth, with T.J. Olsen (groundout) and Tyler Loehr (bases-loaded walk) getting credit for the RBI. Oak Lawn received four bases-on-balls in that plate appearance.

“It’s good we didn’t get shut out, but we shouldn’t pat ourselves on the back too much,” Gerny said. “Having a tough summer schedule means we’re getting to see what guys can do, but that game was a disaster right from the get-go. They came out swinging the bats — [senior-to-be Mike] Kornacker hit a couple balls that were hit as hard as any I’ve seen this summer.

“I don’t see the guys sitting back and resting on their laurels, but we’ve got to get one through 20 working hard rather than just six or seven guys. We can’t take it easy because every single St. Laurence player is playing at full speed.”

Moraine athletics wrap

Big things happening for Selvaggio

By Maura Vizza

2013 PBO Pony champion Yankees.

It’s a great time to be Nicole Selvaggio.

Headed to St. Xavier University in the fall to complete her posthigh school education, Selvaggio departed Moraine Valley College this spring with two prestigious academic awards in hand. The Marist grad received the Dick Durrant Award for posting the highest grade-point average among Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference student-athletes, and that 4.0 GPA landed her the Pinnacle Award for Academic Excellence.

Only 169 other ISCC studentathletes earned that distinction, while just three other individuals matched Selvaggio’s accomplishment of winning the Durrant Award.

But while Selvaggio will no longer attend Moraine, she is not leaving the Palos Hills campus entirely. A standout tennis player for the Cyclones for two seasons, Selvaggio has been chosen to succeed athletic director Bill Finn as coach of Moraine’s women’s tennis program.

Although still a college student herself, Selvaggio believes she can

keep the Cyclones going strong.

“I know the procedures and how coaches think,” she said. “As a player, I brought forth a 200 percent work ethic in the class and on the court, so I’m bringing it as a coach. That’s a position I’m really excited and grateful to have. I want to see my school be successful.

“I got so much out of being an athlete here, and now I’m paying it forward for future athletes.

Choosing to play here was the best decision I made. It’s so wonderful to continue the legacy and be part (Continued on page 2)

Who’s your caddie?

Bartosh Golf can be a frustrating game.

Just ask any weekend duffer who explores more uncharted territories than Vasco da Gama in search of lost golf balls during a round of play. Better yet, query those superstar athletes whose prominence in their main sport makes their on-course shortcomings all the more glaring.

Even the golfing pros have their ups and downs, but since their primary vocation is undertaken on the links, they typically are able to deal effectively with the dips. There are exceptions, however.

Tiger Woods, for instance, often shows a great deal of emotion when things go seriously awry during a tournament. Considering the championships and money he’s already won, you’d think Woods would more easily shrug off the occasional hiccups in his game.

Usually, though, he and other PGA members who endure their own periods of struggle place blame for any mishaps where it belongs: on themselves. That’s as it should be.

Apparently, Jessica Korda hasn’t yet learned that lesson.

Already an LPGA player at the tender age of 20, Korda’s golfing abilities are obviously well above average.

As for her behavior — well, that’s another story.

Korda was recently playing a somewhat lackluster third round at the LPGA’s U.S. Open, but her nine-hole score of 40 wasn’t so bad that it demanded a hairtrigger reaction. That’s the kind she gave, however, when she suddenly appeared on the 10th hole with a new caddie.

Korda’s boyfriend had replaced regular bagman Jason Gilroyd. When interviewed after the round, Korda offered little of substance as to why she so abruptly jettisoned Gilroyd, who has caddied for other LPGA members and, according to the author of the online story I read, is considered quite professional in his own right.

In the opinion of Shane Bacon, who did some caddying while Gilroyd worked for LPGA golfer Cristie Kerr, Gilroyd is a “solid

Moraine (Continued from page 1) of the Moraine Valley athletics family, except now I’m taking the reins and being the leader.”

Selvaggio was selected as the National Junior College Athletic Association Region IV and ISCC Player of the Year in both 2011 and 2012 and helped lead the Cyclones to a pair of national tournaments. While at Marist, she ranked among the top 30 female players in the state and held a No. 1 ranking in the United States Tennis Association Girls’ 16-18 and Women’s Open divisions.

As coach, Selvaggio wants her players to work hard to reach their highest possible levels of achievement while also enjoying the moment.

“At the end of the season, the girls will be better players and people,” she said. “I want them to be known as fighters. At the end of every match, win or lose, I want them to have fought their hardest and let the results speak for themselves.

“I bring that match mentality, that mental part of the game, which is a strong point for me.

Once players achieve the tennis

dude” who is a “great caddie.”

And, of course, as Bacon rightfully pointed out, professional caddies are required to do more than merely tote golf bags.

They also serve as swing coaches and, more importantly, voices of reason during times of difficulty. And seeing as how Gilroyd is twice Korda’s age and, thus, more experienced in both golf and life, it would make good sense for her to listen to what he has to say.

Ah, but if good sense were found in this story, this story wouldn’t be found in this column space. You see, as is true in so many sports-related scenarios, foolishness trumps all.

And there’s simply no other polite way to describe Korda’s knee-jerk decision except foolish, unless one prefers “absurd,” “nonsensical” or “imbecilic.”

That’s especially so since, on the brief video interview she granted at the end of her round, Korda gave no indication that anything particularly bad had been brewing between her and Gilroyd.

But even if there was, real adults don’t react the way Korda did. Instead, they talk things out — in private, and by that I don’t mean a private golf course — and sincerely attempt to find a mutually satisfying, reasonable resolution to whatever problems they have encountered.

Korda may be a paid professional, but she more closely resembled a jilted prom queen on this occasion.

Did she ever stop to think that whatever advice Gilroyd offered was done with her best interests at heart? After all, the amount of Gilroyd’s pay each week was based upon Korda’s finishing spot in the tourney field, so he’s not going to risk taking money out of his own pocket by offering unsound recommendations just to teach a snotty kid a lesson.

Besides, who was actually swinging the club and hitting the shots? Yes, while caddies are valuable commodities to golfers, they don’t sign the scorecards at the end of each day.

If we’re supposed to believe Korda’s unsatisfactory play was more a result of some Gilroyd tactics and mental side, it’s unbeatable. It comes with experience.”

In addition to her studies and upcoming coaching duties, Selvaggio serves as a tennis instructor at the Oak Lawn Racquet Club. *** Selvaggio wasn’t the only Moraine student-athlete honored for academic feats during the 2012-13 school year. Five others joined her in becoming an NJCAA Academic Student-Athlete Award winner: soccer player Natalia Patrzyk (Oak Lawn), baseball player Dominick Paolella, golfer Dan Dermody (St. Laurence), and softball players Samantha Staisiunas and Courtney Wheaton.

To earn the Academic Student Award, student-athletes must have a GPA over 3.6 after 45 course-credit hours and have participated in a sport for at least one season.

Five Cyclones programs were among those chosen as All-Academic teams, which require a cumulative GPA above 3.0. Recognized from Moraine were both tennis squads, the women’s cross country team, softball squad and women’s volleyball team.

A total of 28 Cyclones athletes were pegged as ISCC All-Academic Athletes of the Year, a designation given to those individuals

missteps than any of her own, then I guess we should start assessing blame to the proper parties at all other times, too.

So the next time your favorite outfielder loses a fly ball in the sun, curse your local weather reporters for not forecasting a cloudy game day. And if your favorite quarterback can’t escape a pass rush, don’t fault non-blocking linemen. Instead, point the accusatory finger at the groundskeeping crew for not taking better care of the stadium grass.

If a basketball player has a poor shooting night, blame the equipment manager for overinflating the balls and giving them too much bounce off the rim. A poor effort by a hockey goalie? Maybe it can be traced back to the preparer of an unsatisfactory pregame meal, which made the goalie feel ill before the goalie’s performance did the same to fans.

And why stop at sports? Our nation’s political leaders love to pass the buck on to someone else, too, unless it’s the kind that fits into your billfold. Those they keep.

Remember when tennis players Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe used to regularly bash line judges for making what were deemed incorrect calls? Even if the rulings later proved accurate, how often do you recall hearing Connors or McEnroe shift blame back to himself for a brief performance breakdown?

That continued failure to act professionally brought both players plenty of public grief, even though they retired as all-time greats. But as embarrassing as each could be when the spirit moved him, neither Connors nor McEnroe fired anyone in the middle of a match.

I suppose Korda is merely reflecting our society as a whole.

Taking personal responsibility is just so yesterday that a spoiled brat like Korda can’t be bothered with it.

Undoubtedly, Korda’s parents are proud of their daughter’s ascent in the world of golf. Heaven help us if they feel the same way about her interpersonal skills. who have completed at least 48 course-credit hours with a 3.0 or better GPA while participating in at least one sport. One-hundred thirty-four ISCC student athletes were feted, with Moraine boasting the highest number of any conference institution.

Representing the Cyclones in addition to the six NJCAA honorees previously mentioned were baseball players Darin Bach, Mike Habas, Martin Joyce, Dan Kenealy (Richards), Kevin Siergiej (Shepard) and Jeremy Vandergriff; men’s basketball player Zoran Arsenovic; men’s soccer players Kris Dolinsky and Deya Elayyan (Stagg); men’s tennis players Kevin Davenport, Jair Gutierrez Gomez and David Smith; softball players Kristin Renken (Richards) and Jenny Vanek (Mother McAuley); volleyball player Bridget Williams (Mt. Assisi Academy); women’s basketball players Stephanie Karl, Kayla McKinney (Shepard) and Bridget Niemiec (Oak Lawn); women’s soccer players Monserrat Espinosa, Stephanie Navarrete (Shepard) and Ashley Solus (Richards); and women’s tennis player Kayla Annerino (Oak Lawn).

“We are so proud of our studentathletes, who realize that their education is paramount to their future success,” Finn said. “They have done an exceptional job balancing the rigors of intercollegiate athletics and representing Moraine Valley on the competition fields and in the classroom.”

Summer baseball roundup

Orland man sinks hole-in-one

Orland Park resident Justin Egan didn’t have to venture far from home to register a hole-in-one.

He did so while playing a round of golf at Silver Lake Country Club last Wednesday. Egan used a driver on the 158-yard sixth hole of the Rolling Hills Course to hit his shot, which was witnessed by playing partners and fellow Orland residents Zach Kusper and Maria Egan.

“My heart stopped [and] I did a fist pump,” Justin Egan said, referring to his post-shot reaction to his feat.

definitely pleased to see that, not to mention plenty of offense. That had been a missing ingredient recently and likely cost St. Laurence a couple of wins.

“We played a little better last week,” said Lotus, whose club also notched victories over Richards (10-3) and Lockport (4-1). “Having a couple [veteran] guys back certainly helped, but some of the juniors are coming along. That was certainly a positive.

“One of the things we lacked a little bit was confidence — I think [the younger players] have been a little intimidated by the older guys. We talked about that a lot, and I said, ‘If you don’t think you belong with these guys, you probably won’t do very good.’

“I want to see them succeed because they’re good players. It’s a meaningful time for them and for us as a team.”

Kornacker (double, RBI single) was one of several influential persons operating on St. Laurence’s behalf. Also providing run-scoring hits were Roger Wilson (two hits, including a double, two RBI), Brad Wood, Sean Burnett, John Riordan, Mike Miller and Kevin Aderman.

“We had some good swings and good at-bats,” said Lotus, whose team totaled 11 hits. “That’s all we ask of our guys.”

Other RBI men were Jake Kolniak (bases-loaded walk), Frank Greco (walk), Anthony Chimera (sacrifice fly) and Mike Sterna (groundout). Greco, Mike Munoz and Tyler Snee shared the mound chores.

ST. LAURENCE It was another pitching-by-committee outing for St. Laurence (5-3) last Thursday, and the foursome of Riordan, Kornacker, Sean Koziol and Zach Erdman combined to slam the door on Lockport, the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue kingpin during the spring season.

Lotus was impressed with his hurlers’ ability to keep the lid on the Porters’ attack.

“We’ve tried to really limit each guy to two innings, or even one, but it’s tough because sometimes it takes pitchers an inning or two to find a rhythm,” he said.

The Vikings’ own offense wasn’t very robust, either, but Nate Tholl (a pair of two-run singles), Riordan (RBI triple) and Greco (RBI double) made sure that didn’t turn into a problem. Rich Lamb also belted a double for St. Laurence and then crossed the plate on Tholl’s second hit. *** Five runs in the second frame gave the Vikings the boost they needed to pull away from Richards last Tuesday. St. Laurence tallied in five of its plate appearances.

Wood (two-run double), Riordan (single), Greco (single) and Burnett (sacrifice fly) did the job for the Vikes in their second at-bat.

Greco, who later homered and poked another single, concluded the day with four RBI. “The lower part of the order did well,” Lotus said. “They had really good at-bats.”

Tholl and Lamb both smacked RBI singles in support of the pitching quartet of Wood, Wilson, Steve Schultz and Alex Hitney.

The Bulldogs were held to five hits and guilty of three errors, which unintentionally augmented St. Laurence’s nine-hit effort.

“We kind of rolled over after that [second inning], which I wasn’t happy about,” Richards coach Brian Wujcik said.

One thing that did satisfy the veteran leader was the continued development of senior-to-be Nate Natividad. A reserve during the spring campaign, Natividad had two hits and an RBI versus the Vikings, a performance that nicely book-ended an identical one by A.J. Sanchez.

“He’s just swinging the bat real well,” Wujcik said of Natividad.

“He’s playing every day now and he’s got himself into a rhythm.

He’s comfortable now.

“What makes him very valuable is that we’ve played him at second base, third base, shortstop, right field and center field. He’s a good utility guy for us.”

RICHARDS The Bulldogs also fell short of Brother Rice in a wild affair last Monday. The Crusaders roared back from a sizable deficit by exploding for eight seventh-inning runs to pin a 15-12 setback on Richards (9-4).

“We out-hit them, we out-fielded them, but we had one blowup inning,” Wujcik said. “We’re swinging the bats and scoring runs.”

That was certainly the case here, as the Bulldogs produced two four-run innings and a three-run stanza. Charlie Zeschke (double, triple) and Shane Mills both went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI to lead the way, but Natividad (two hits, double, RBI, run), Nick Mejia (two hits, RBI, run), Dan Estrella (double) and Eric Mallo (double) also contributed to a 16-

hit assault.

*** There was no need to look for moral victories on Friday, not when real ones were available.

Richards hosted Lock Creek High School from Kansas and got the better of its visitors twice, 40 and 17-7. The second of those matchups featured the Bulldogs erasing a 7-3 lead Lock Creek had constructed after three innings.

Brett Thomas assumed a hero’s role in the latter game, first by tossing four frames of one-hit relief and then by blasting a threerun homer in the fifth stanza.

That was part of an eight-run uprising by Richards that gave it a 14-7 advantage.

Natividad (three hits, two RBI, one run), Noel Castro (three hits, four RBI, one run), Chris Zeschke (two hits, two RBI, two runs), Mills (two hits, two runs, one RBI), Mejia (two hits, three runs) and Chris Lovetere (two hits, one RBI, one run) all chipped in with solid efforts as well.

“It was a pretty balanced attack,” Wujcik said. “Nothing spectacular, just solid baseball.

We’re swinging the bats well, running the bases exceptionally well and throwing strikes for the most part.”

Wujcik attributed some of his team’s success to the fact it closed out the spring schedule playing its best baseball of that season.

“I think that has something to do with it,” he said. “We had that momentum carry over and I think the seniors-to-be are taking ownership.

“We’ve got some quality wins in there [this summer]. We told our guys not to take anyone lightly, and our only disappointment was the Chicago Christian game [in the second week]. I’m pretty happy with how we’ve played.” *** Game 1 against Lock Creek was much tighter, in part because the Bulldogs left the bases loaded three times in the first four innings. However, four runs in the fifth broke a scoreless tie and secured a win for Richards.

“I like playing somebody new, especially in the summer,” Wujcik said. “They’re a smaller school outside of Topeka, and they’re very comparable to the schools in our conference [with] the same-sized kids. We were evenly matched. Their kids played well and were respectable.”

The same could be said for the Bulldogs, who were paced

by Sanchez’s superb pitching performance. The senior-to-be went the distance on a yield of just one hit and two walks while whiffing nine.

“I can’t tell you the last time we had a guy throw a complete game with nine strikeouts,” Wujcik said.

Sanchez also did his part at the plate as he stroked a pair of hits.

Shawn Chiaramonte did the same while driving in a run as well, and both Charlie Zeschke (two RBI) and Mallo (RBI) slammed triples.

STAGG While one victory in nine games isn’t quite what Chargers coach Matt O’Neill was expecting through three weeks of the summer slate, Stagg’s lone triumph during that period was certainly noteworthy.

It came against Lincoln-Way North, which ruled over the SouthWest Suburban Conference Red in the spring. C.J. Casey (eight strikeouts), Ryan Donnelly and Peter Angelos teamed up to slow the Phoenix, Donnelly doing so in part by escaping a basesloaded, one-out jam in the fifth by registering a groundout and strikeout.

Casey, meanwhile, allowed only one hit through 3 1/3 innings.

O’Neill wasn’t too keen about the six walks his hurler issued, but the pros far outweighed any cons.

“The thing about C.J. is he didn’t pitch a lot at the lower levels,” O’Neill said. “[But] he has a really good arm and he’s got really good stuff — when he’s on, he’s got two above-average pitches.

“This [game] was all about pitching and defense. We didn’t make any errors.”

The Chargers also didn’t have any hits until the fifth. They broke into the scoring column in the sixth, as Brett Stratinsky (double) and Jack Duffner (infield single) recorded the RBI. Drew Bolero also hit safely in the frame.

While Stagg’s designated blue team was pinning a defeat on Lincoln-Way North last Tuesday, its orange squad — comprised primarily of younger and more inexperienced athletes — was in the midst of suffering a tough loss to Bremen. What made the outcome somewhat heartbreaking for the Chargers’ yearlings was that they surrendered only one run from the second inning on.

The trouble was, the Braves struck for a six-spot in the first, which laid the groundwork for an eventual 7-3 win. Four straight singles opened the stanza, then Stagg aided Bremen’s cause by committing three errors.

“That’s one of the things we look for in summer: to see how the young guys handle certain situations,” O’Neill said.

He liked the fact the contest

never got away from the Chargers and that pitcher Robert Stark supplied 3 1/3 innings of one-hit relief. Stark fanned two and did not walk anyone.

Gary Kopec’s two-run homer was one of five hits generated

by Stagg’s offense. It also belted two doubles, but the team’s other tally was realized via a bad pickoff throw. *** Shepard made sure the Chargers didn’t enjoy their first winning week by rallying in the seventh inning for a 3-2 victory last Thursday.

A catcher’s interference call against Stagg gave the Astros a second baserunner after Brendan Hermann had poked a one-out single. A wild pitch and errant throw down to third then sent Hermann around to the plate with the deciding marker.

“We’ll take it,” Shepard coach Frank DiFoggio said. “I saw that we had some fight in us, and our pitching and defense was just good enough to keep us in the game, [but] it was a really strange last inning.”

The Astros (5-7) had also scored in the third and sixth innings on Ben Meyer’s single and Kevin Knoerzer’s double, respectively.

The latter’s hit was preceded by Tyler Walters’ two-bagger.

Stagg’s runs resulted from a Shepard miscue in the second frame and Joe Zaremba’s RBI double in the fifth. It left the sacks filled in the first of those innings.

The Chargers’ loss couldn’t obscure another decent pitching display, this time by the duo of Angelos and Brendan Kivlehan, who threw five innings between them and gave up just one hit while striking out nine.

“I think we’re going to be OK on the mound [in 2014],” O’Neill said. “Angelos didn’t pitch a lot as a junior, but I think he’s going to be a guy who has to log a lot of innings for us.”

SHEPARD The Astros’ other encounter last week ended in a 14-4 loss to De La Salle on Tuesday.

Bobby Peterka socked a two-run homer for Shepard and Kevin Carmody knocked in a couple of teammates with his single, but that first-inning noisemaking couldn’t be adequately followed up. And when the Meteors responded with five runs in their initial at-bat, they went ahead to stay.

“They were definitely putting the ball in play and hitting it hard,” DiFoggio said of De La Salle, which accrued nine hits — including five doubles — over the first three frames. “I was a little disappointed because we came out like gangbusters and didn’t do anything after that, but they hit their way to victory.”

While the setback itself didn’t go down easily, even tougher for DiFoggio to swallow was an overall exhibition he termed “lackadaisical.”

“It was the first hot, humid day, and we didn’t have the energy,” he said. “That’s the only time I’ve seen that this summer. They’ve done such a great job with [being energetic] all summer.”

MARIST The RedHawks earned a two-game split last week, with Tuesday’s 3-2 triumph over Tinley Park being declared a final after four innings because of weather.

Robert Hovey got the win against the Titans, but Marist coach Tom Fabrizio has also been satisfied with what he’s seen from some other pitchers this summer, including juniors-to-be Rich Kairis and Marty Meyer.

“We’ve really pitched it [well], which is something I’m excited about because that’s something we’re going to need to compete,” Fabrizio said. “Offensively, we haven’t exactly been hitting the ball real well, but it’s not bad.

We want to cut down on strikeouts.”

Fabrizio admitted, though, that the RedHawks “are not exactly results-oriented offensively right now” and are concentrating on making improvement in particular areas, such as moving runners along and stealing bases.

“I feel like the kids have worked on it and I think it’ll come,” Fabrizio said. “We’ve got some tough kids and I think we have the potential to be the best group [I’ve had]. They’re not the most [naturally] talented, but they hate losing and they’ll do anything they have to do to win. I’ll take that all day over talent, and the style of ball we try to play, they fit that perfectly.

“They don’t go out there thinking, ‘Oh, we’re playing Mt. Carmel.’ They’re not intimidated by anyone.”

Administering Marist’s loss was St. Rita by a 5-4 score. The RedHawks (5-3) were up 4-3 in the seventh inning, but couldn’t maintain the edge.

While Fabrizio said, “Deep down, we want to win every game, even in the spring,” he realizes summer is a time for teaching — and not just in the more obvious ways.

“I’m trying to get the kids to understand about being a wellrounded athlete and being a good teammate,” he said.

Zombies on the brain

by Jase Howell At last, the popular zombie apocalypse book “World War Z” finally makes it to the big screen.

The book by Max Brooks, had a fresh style at one point, but the genre of the zombies now appears finally heading toward the grave for a while.

Like “The Great Gatsby” earlier this summer, the film has had more of its share of setbacks and rumors, as well as a platoon of writers in and out of the mix.

“Gatsby” proved well, “World War Z” not so much.

The film starts out briskly enough with some scenes of the early zombie pandemic sweeping the globe in early cases, of course no one is calling it that yet. The wide sweeping set-up and close to the film is about as close to the world wide scope Brooks’ book encapsulated. This film is more intent on solely following Brad Pitt and his family. Pitt plays

Gerry Lane a United Nations doctor, who has been around the block with worst outbreaks the world has seen. These days he is retired to spend time with his family until the outbreak appears closer to home.

I always love in the films how there is devastating global threat and there is only one doctor in retirement that can figure everything out. Alas the plague hits far too close to home and for good as he and his wife Karin (Mirielle Cross) drive their kids to school in what turns out be a zombie riot in the streets of Philadelphia. This is one of the many tension filled scenes in this film that does work well for this genre. Gerry finds himself of course being recruited back his old boss Thierry (Fana Mokoena), after another close, but thrilling call with walking dead in a high rise. It’s off to South Korea in an attempt to well… never mind.

There are quite a few theories of safety, knowledge, and

prevention, thrown at the audience in this film, each with an actor delivering a few lines only disappear stage left, there theories soon behind them. Brooks’ book also had a great detail of this but not bunched into a two hour long film. Director Marc Foster ( a very odd choice) has little time to do much other than work the film around a few of Brooks’ ideas, Brad Pitt, and what is a strange hodge-podge created by an extensive and diverse writing team. Believe it or not it almost still works to an extent.

“World War Z” may be structurally a mess, not even remotely close to clever concept of the novel’s historical approach, and has very little time to create any memorable characters aside from Lane and an Israeli soldier played Brad Pitt stars in the latest zombie apocalypse movie, World War Z.” Daniella Kertesz, who appears late in the film (Kertesz is the only decimated or being decimated late scene involving Lane in zomother performer in the film that by the zombies and Foster does bie research center that almost stands out). Yet, strangely the film manage to truly create some fan- has some chords of the “Alien” does have some pretty impres- tastic tension filled scenes with franchise working. sive visual landscapes of cities the right horror zest such as a “World War Z” seems set up for

Paramount Pictures

a franchise, and considering the chaos this first film went through and still remains compelling, but it could be a franchise to watch for in the future.

Videoview

by Jay Bobbin

(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: “6 SOULS”: Julianne Moore often has fared well in portraying professional people’s personal quandaries, and she’s the strongest factor of this melodrama about a psychiatrist whose new patient (Jonathan Rhys Meyers, “The Tudors”) has multiple personalities. Not only that, they’re all people who have been murdered ... a situation that

eventually puts the therapist in danger herself. Frances Conroy (“Six Feet Under”) and Jeffrey DeMunn also appear. *** (R: AS, V) (Also on Blu-ray) “THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS: THE COMPLETE SERIES”: One of the truly great sitcoms in television history gets overdue DVD treatment in this set.

Dwayne Hickman embodied writer Max Shulman’s title character in the 1959-63 CBS show about a pensive teenager’s endless quest for love, but the breakout star was Bob Denver — later to have more home-screen success on “Gilligan’s Island” — as Dobie’s beatnik buddy, Maynard G. Krebs.

Broaden Your Horizons This week Discovery Isle at Isle a la Cache Children’s programs are held every Wednesday afternoon through Aug. 28 at Isle a la Cache Museum in Romeoville.

The next of these “Discovery Isle” programs will be Wednesday, July 3, at 1 p.m. The program is free of charge and open to all ages.

“Discovery Isle” will feature a different activity or demonstration every Wednesday during the summer focusing on plants, animals or history. One week we

might be looking for critters on a trail and the next week meet with a re-enactor portraying a voyageur from the 18th century to learn fun games and hear interesting stories.

Depending on topic and weather, programs may be held indoors or outdoors.

Drop in anytime between 1 and 3 p.m. and join in the fun.

Indoor facilities are accessible.

Outdoor activities will take place on level paths or natural surfaces across uneven terrain.

Isle a la Cache Museum is at 501 E. 135th St. (Romeo Road), ½-mile east of Route 53 in Romeoville. (815) 886-1467.

Also in the regular cast were two talents who would find movie fame, Tuesday Weld and a young man by the name of Warren Beatty. This was one of the first series made by the since-prolific 20th Century Fox Television, as the lack of the studio’s familiar logo at the end of early episodes suggests. DVD extras: original pilot footage; “Love That Bob” and “The Stu Erwin Show” episodes. **** (Not rated: AS) “56 UP”: Arguably the most acclaimed documentary series to date, director Michael Apted’s films that have followed a group of British people from the age of 7 up — at seven-year intervals, with Apted having been a researcher on the first picture — continue with this latest installment. For those who have watched the series right along, the latest twists and turns in the subjects’ lives are bound to have nostalgic and sometimes bittersweet effects ... but even those viewers starting fresh here can appreciate the theme of paths that haven’t always gone as expected. Director Paul Almond also contributed here. *** (Not rated: AS, P) “THE GIRL”: Abbie Cornish (“Sucker Punch”) does impressive work in the central role of writerdirector David Riker’s drama about a woman who finds a new purpose after she loses both her job and custody of her son. She becomes involved in smuggling Mexicans into the U.S. — and though she tries to maintain an

emotional distance, that becomes impossible for her in helping a girl (Maritza Santiago Hernandez) search for her missing mother.

Will Patton also is featured. *** (PG-13: AS, P, V) “LAST RESORT: THE COMPLETE SERIES”: Hampered by an unfortunate time slot, this ABC drama about a submarine and its crew gone AWOL did a remarkably good job of sustaining what might have worked only as a oneepisode premise. The always excellent Andre Braugher plays the commander of the vessel, who has a rationale for his actions that others question, sometimes including his second-in-command (Scott Speedman, also very good here). Robert Patrick, Autumn Reeser and Bruce Davison are notable in the supporting cast; the riveting pilot was directed

by Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”). DVD extras: 13 “making-of” documentaries. *** (Not rated: AS, P, V) “AN AMERICAN GIRL: SAIGE PAINTS THE SKY”: The latest live-action movie inspired by the American Girl doll line, this family feature casts Sidney Fullmer as the title youngster, who does indeed have a talent for painting. When she finds out that the art program at her school has been cut, she consults her grandmother (Jane Seymour) about what she can do ... not just about the program but

about regaining a friendship she appears to have lost. “Dawson’s Creek” alum Kerr Smith also appears. *** (Not rated) (Also on Blu-ray) COMING SOON: “ADMISSION” (July 9): A college admissions officer (Tina Fey) comes to suspect she has a personal tie to an especially promising student (Nat Wolff).

Paul Rudd also stars. (PG-13: AS, P) “THE HOST” (July 9): The story by “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer finds a teen (Saoirse Ronan) trying to fight off the alien that has occupied her body. (PG-13: AS, V) “SPRING BREAKERS” (July 9): While on vacation, several young girlfriends fall under the influence of a questionable mentor (James Franco). Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens also star.

(R: AS, N, P, V)

“ T E M P T A T I O N : CONFESSIONS OF A MARRIAGE COUNSELOR” (July 9): Writer-director Tyler Perry’s drama casts Jurnee Smollett-Bell as the married, tempted counselor.

(PG-13: AS, V) “EMPEROR” (Aug. 13): An officer (Matthew Fox) working for Gen. Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones) is assigned to determine Emperor Hirohito’s fate. (PG-13: AS, P, V) “GIRLS: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON” (Aug. 13): Hannah (series creator Lena Dunham), Marnie (Allison Williams) and friends go in separate directions in this round of the HBO show.

A summertime treat to scream for We’re just a few weeks into summer. The weather has warmed up. And soon we’ll be getting away for some vacation time.

We all dream about summer vacation. But there has always been one treat that, ever since I was a young boy myself growing up in Austria, made me feel like I was on vacation whenever and wherever I ate it: ice cream. Like so many foods, I think ice cream often tastes the best when you make it yourself. Sure, there are great brands of premium frozen desserts, with all kinds of flavors and special additions mixed in. Read the labels on some of those products, though, and you might be surprised at what ingredients go into what we think of as one of the purest and most basic comfort foods.

When you make your own ice cream, there’s no doubt about what you’re eating. Classic versions are based on just a few simple ingredients: cream, of course; milk, because ice creams made with cream alone would be just too rich; egg yolks, which thicken the base mixture of what used to be called “frozen custard,” adding distinctive flavor and subtle golden color; some sort of sweetener; and flavors or mix-ins of choice.

As for the flavor, I often choose chocolate, one of my all-time favorite sweets in any form. And I’ll make my ice cream good and chocolaty-in fact, I use so much in my Milk Chocolate Malt Ice Cream that I don’t even include any extra sugar to sweeten the mixture. But I do add something that gives the ice cream an extra dimension of

flavor-malt powder, usually made from a combination of wheat and malted barley, which contributes a wonderfully full, toasty flavor that complements that of the chocolate and makes many people who taste the results think of the old corner soda fountains or malt shops of their childhoods.

Whether you enjoy this recipe on its own in a bowl or cone; sandwiched between two big cookies; drizzled with chocolate sauce or topped with a dollop of whipped cream; or elaborated with toasted nuts or candy sprinkles or anything else you might care to add, it will help make you feel like the pleasures of a long, happy summer are stretching out in front of you.

MILK CHOCOLATE MALT ICE CREAM Makes about 1-1/2 quarts 2 cups milk 2 cups heavy cream 8 large cage-free egg yolks 10 ounces organic milk chocolate, broken or cut into small chunks, or milk chocolate chips 1/2 cup malt powder, such as Horlick’s brand In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the milk and cream.

Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, put the egg yolks in a large stainless-steel mixing bowl. With a wire whisk, beat the egg yolks just until smooth.

When the milk reaches a boil, remove it from the heat. While whisking the yolks continuously, slowly and carefully drizzle in the

ARIES (March 21-April. 19): The week ahead may challenge your ability to lead others or assert your rights. A special someone may be caught in your spell and give you plenty of things to be grateful for by the end of the week.

TAURUS (April. 20-May 20): Fight off the urge to stir things up to achieve your ambitions this week. You must strike a match to light a fire, but if you’re careless you may ignite something else by accident. Avoid controversies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Immerse yourself in joint planning, but don’t attempt to put joint plans into motion in the early part of the week. Once you’ve dealt with the differences, the areas where you agree will become crystal clear.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may hope to ride the stairway to heaven with a partner, but that doesn’t mean you should take action. Avoid being coerced into major decisions or initiatives early in the week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): New starts in the week ahead could be flawed by poor planning, bad judgment, or an overabundance of competitiveness, but passion flourishes. Wait until late in the week to make crucial decisions or purchases.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Potential problems are deflected by the armor of intelligence. You can’t be coerced or co-opted this week if you have definitive answers at your fingertips. Spend your pennies on items that will last.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): In the week to come, you may cause conflict if you leap before you look. Be conservative about the use of financial resources.

Listen with your heart because beneath the criticism there is genuine concern.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Push and shove” tactics could cause you to waste precious energy in the week ahead. Remain poised, calm and considerate so you don’t damage a precious relationship.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Hold onto the purse strings. You’re challenged to keep money safe when a tempting investment crops up this week.

You may not be aware of all the details or crucial information is not available.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Time is the wisest counselor.

Exercise patience with others in the week ahead and avoid making a rushed decision. Rather than thinking things through, you might be reacting to outside stimuli.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The first half of the week is a poor time to launch crucial new work projects, as energies could get scattered or there could be opposition to authority. Sit on your hands and wait a few days, if possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March.

20): This week, you may hear more than one secret. Your understanding nature makes you a perfect candidate to be taken into someone’s confidence. Accept what’s offered, but don’t probe without permission.
