Orland’s next Comprehensive Plan nears agenda by Jeff Vorva staff reporter After 267 pages, thousands of words and plenty of hours spent on the project over the past couple of years, the proposed updated Orland Park Comprehensive Plan will be unveiled to the Village Board on Aug. 5. Assistant Director of Development Services Kim Flom said during a recent meeting of the Village Board’s Development Services and Planning Committee that there were a few minor changes to make, but overall it’s ready for the board to approve. “Over the past two years, we’ve seen chapter-by-chapter information and now we have the full plan,” she said. “The plan we have in place today was adopted in 1991 with minor updates in 1997 and
1999. That’s plan’s vision is that Orland Park should be a primarily residential community and openspace environment. “Orland Park today is a lot more than just a residential community and open space. We have an incredible commercial corridor area. We have entertainment. We have recreation options that are unrivaled in the whole region. So the vision for this comprehensive plan is the notion of an enriched life in the community and it’s summarized by the slogan ‘quality places, natural spaces.’” Staff members began planning this update in 2009 and used input from citizens, elected officials, stakeholders and other governmental agencies, Flom said. The plan was done in-house rather than hiring an outside
consultant, which Flom said saved the village $225,000. That figure doesn’t factor in some of the background research during the infant stages of the project. “This is uncommon,” she said. “Many municipalities don’t have the planning staff available. Usually they hire a consultant to do the plan. Doing it in-house may take a little longer but it also means the plan has a little more depth and we’re able to look into the knowledge of the community.” The plan addresses land use, design and character, economic development, open space, mobility and transportation, community culture and sustainability. Trustee Kathy Fenton, the development panel’s chairwoman, was impressed with the plan. “Anyone from the outside look-
ing at this would think there was some [outside] consulting done,” Fenton said. “It’s a tribute to our staff for a job well done for this project. It’s a fabulous presentation.” “It’s really an in-depth look at Orland Park as it is today and going into the future,” added Director of Development Services Karie Friling. “Consultants do great work and there are times we need them but they will never know Orland Park like we know Orland Park and like my staff knows Orland Park. That’s what we have in this plan — information from people who really understand what’s going on in our community and what it can be in the next 20 years.” Photo by Jeff Vorva The plan can be viewed at the Orland Park Assistant Director of Development Services Kim Flom village’s website at orland-park. poses with one of the final drafts of the village’s Comprehensive il.us.

O’Halloran invites independent probe by Jeff Vorva staff reporter At least one Metra board member is hollerin’ for Brad O’Halloran’s head. But the Orland Park resident and chairman of Metra’s board said he does not plan on leaving anytime soon. In the wake of a messy situation, board member Jack Schaffer is taking O’Halloran to task. “I think the first thing that has to happen is O’Halloran has to go,” Schaffer told NBC Chicago News on Monday. In recent weeks other politicians have taken O’Halloran and the board to task, including Republican governor candidate Kirk Dillard, who said: “We need to blow

up Metra’s board.” Controversies rose involving the board-approved departure of the railway agency’s executive director Alex Clifford and his potential severance package of more than $700,000. It escalated when Clifford’s memo that his contract renewal was being judged because he wasn’t doing favors for politicians, including House Speaker Michael Madigan was made public. O’Halloran’s name was brought up multiple times in the eight-page memo, alleging that O’Halloran “told me he needed to arrange a meeting with Speaker Madigan to assess ‘what damage I’ve done’ to Metra and its future funding by my refusal to accede to Speaker Madigan’s request.” That memo has caused a scandal and O’Halloran, who is also a longtime trustee on the Village of Orland Park board, has been taken a brunt of criticism. O’Halloran had the chairman’s job since November and said he has no intention of leaving the post. “I knew that this was a raging river that I inherited,” O’Halloran said Tuesday morning. “But I had no way to predict things would happen this way. With the Clifford situation, the board had two bad choices — one was to give him the separation money or risk long expensive litigation that could cost millions of dollars. “Nine members from a diverse regional group felt the same way and that’s how we voted.” The 11-member board voted 9-1 for the separation agreement with Schaffer of McHenry County say(See O’Halloran, Page 5)

Artworks pump a little life into dead Heights storefronts by Jeff Vorva staff reporter The Public Arts Commission of Palos Heights is making its presence known in an unusual way. The newly formed commission displayed artwork in the front windows of a pair of vacant storefronts in the 12200 block of Harlem Avenue and there will
be more to come. “We want to fill it in and make the area look a little nicer,” Mayor Bob Straz said. “A lot of people see these buildings. On Saturday night there are a number of people down in that area. You might as well make it look presentable.” Public Arts Commission member Robert Johnson said the first phase is putting in sculpture in
some of the empty storefronts near the Post Office, including the former Celtic Cottage. They are on loan from a variety of professional artists and from the Chicago Sculpture International group, he said. “This helps in two ways — first it creates awareness of the sculptures and artists and second it helps the image of the city,” Johnson said.
“Jock on Death Ship” by Bill Moll is one of the sculptures on display in a vacated storefront in the 12200 block of Harlem Avenue.
The display was ready in time for the Classic Car Event, which draws throngs to the Harlem Avenue central business district. Some of the work on display come from sculptors Johnson, Richard Hunt (who has a piece on display on Cicero Avenue at the entrance of a parking lot at Midway Airport), Bill Moll, Adrian Calderon and Bob Steele. “The sculpture show we
have in the two vacant stores on Harlem is the beginning of an attempt to bring contemporary sculpture into the community by displaying professional sculptors,” Johnson said. “These sculptors have impressive resumes.” The next phase is to display 14 larger sculptures around town, Johnson said. Dr. Joseph Shanahan, of Burr Ridge, donated
the pieces. Some of the other vacant buildings in the city could see some window painting in the near future, Mayor Straz said. “They will try to paint them to get some color into our downtown area,” Straz said. “Eventually they want to paint all of them. There is no one person who owns all of the buildings so it may take some time.”

Inside the First Amendment
‘Fear’ is greatest threat to First Amendment freedoms by Gene Policinski At various times, every American likely has wished for less of some things that the First Amendment protects. Less hateful speech. One less noisy protest group. Or maybe even the swift departure of a media outlet or personality whose stance or voice is just grating on a personal level. For the most part, those wishes come and go — or the targets do, as media fortunes or political trends wax and wane. But wishes don’t change constitutions. There’s no impact on what we can say, what we write, how we worship, or our ability to challenge and seek to change government policies and practices. And the same 45 words of the First Amendment exist today as when they were ratified by the fledgling nation as part of the Bill of Rights in 1791. But the just-released 2013 State of the First Amendment survey by the First Amendment Center gives us reason to worry about the future because of a repeating threat to our core freedoms: fear. In this year’s survey, conducted in May — about a month after the Boston Marathon bombing — 34% of Americans said the First Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees, up 21 points from the 13% recorded in the 2012 survey. The increase is the largest one-year rise in the survey’s history, and more than double the point increase seen in the wake of 9/11 — when those fearing too much freedom went from 39% to the all-time high of 49%. Fear has been a powerful force in American history. A mere seven years after we gained the Bill of Rights, amid fear that a critical press would tilt us into war with France, Congress passed the Sedition Act — authorizing jail for those who criticized Congress or the president. Some editors were jailed, but a nation repelled by those actions allowed the act to expire two years later. President Lincoln suspended certain civil rights during the Civil War. Japanese-Americans were interned during WWII. There were “blacklists” during the McCarthy era. The unprecedented national-security restrictions and regulations adopted
quickly after 9/11, embodied in the Patriot Act, resulted from wide fear of future terrorism. Even seven months later, in the 2002 SOFA survey, 49% of us said the First Amendment went too far — still the highest result recorded in the annual sampling. We have been reminded many times by public officials — from former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to several attorneys general — that “the First Amendment is not a suicide pact.” But protecting and preserving fundamental rights preserves the very character of the nation — those qualities of religious liberty and freedom of expression that make the United States unique in all the world. As the old joke goes, “You’re not paranoid if they really are after you” — and certainly there are forces that aim to do this nation harm. And no constitutional rights are absolute. But history shows us that political leaders may overreact to threats, and gain at least temporary political support from a fearful citizenry. We’re arguing about that now, concerning the disclosure of massive government surveillance of our phone records and e-mails. In the years after 9/11, the percentage of those saying we had too much liberty “reset” to between 25% and last year’s 13%. But this year’s results warn that even a single incident — even as authorities moved swiftly to arrest the Boston bombers — can endanger public support for freedoms we have had for 222 years. The nation’s Founders didn’t waffle — or let fear dilute their support — when it came to standing behind the permanence of the First Amendment: Its first words are “Congress shall make no law … .” In 1775, Ben Franklin bluntly offered his view of balancing national security and core freedoms: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Even when faced with real threats, we need to remember who we are as a nation — and what we stand for in the rest of the world.

Readers Write An honor to serve Palos District 118 Dear Editor: For the past 29 years I was fortunate enough to be able to teach in Palos District 118. I spent time at East, West, and South. I also was an instructor for the Palos Park Recreation Department for 22 years. During that time I had the pleasure to get to know thousands of students and families. I was always very impressed with each and every student. Each year it was very evident to me that these students belonged to dedicated and caring parents who were involved in the education of their children. The parents displayed a high level of commitment to their children, their schools, and their community. I witnessed all of this first hand in the classroom and in my conversations with children and parents. I received nothing but constant support from the parents
of 118. They made it much easier for me to do my job. I was also blessed to be able to form good relationships with my students. I was always treated respectfully by them, and they consistently made me laugh and smile. I can honestly say that I never had a day that I didn’t want to go to work. I will be forever grateful for having had this opportunity. It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of this wonderful community. Thank you children and parents of 118. You will always have a special place in my heart. Dennis Bentley

Roundabout: Keep out infernal circles of Hell You want gambling machines in the area? Whatever. You want to allow people to carry concealed weapons? I don’t care. They can carry unconcealed weapons, too. You want legalized marijuana? Gay marriage? Go for it. Any other hot-button issue out there? Yawn. But there is one issue I am firmly against. In recent years, Palos Park and Orland Park officials have been talking about the possibility of putting roundabouts in their towns. To that I scream: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD, JUST SAY NO! Let me find reams of paper so I can get people to sign my petition. Am I overreacting? Yeah, a little bit. But I had a chance to use a couple of them earlier this month and I think it was scarier than a superhero ride at Great America. Let’s start at the beginning. Once upon a time, back in the summer of 2010, a group of six Orland Park officials took a trip to Indianapolis to check out a building that Flaherty & Collins calls “The Cosmopolitan on the Canal.” That’s the same company that received the controversial contract to build Orland Park’s Ninety7Fifty luxury apartment complex in the downtown area as a part of its Triangle Project. Well, these half-dozen officials took a side trip to Carmel, a suburb of Indianapolis and they were intrigued with Carmel’s uses of roundabouts at many of their intersections. A roundabout is a circle intersection around a central island and, while it’s supposed to flow in one direction, you have the option of getting off at one of the exits or you can keep driving around and around in the darn circle for infinity. People are coming on it. People are leaving it. People are changing lanes in it. Orland Park is taking bids for a proposed roundabout at 147th Street and Ravinia Avenue. Palos Park officials have also been talking about turning the intersection of 123rd Street and 86th Avenue into a roundabout. In recent months, I’ve talked to Orland Park Director of De-
Reporter’s Notebook by Jeff Vorva velopment Services Karie Friling and Palos Park Commissioner Nicole Milovich-Walters about roundabouts and both assured me that statistics show that these not-so-merry-go-rounds are safer than conventional intersections and I believed them. But neither of these officials were in my car with my son T.J. and I a couple of Saturdays ago. He played in a basketball tournament in Indianapolis and we were seeking out what turned out to be a disappointing Chinese buffet in Carmel. We were on Keystone Avenue and made an exit, going up a ramp. After we get to the top of the ramp, we soon find ourselves smack dab in the middle of a multi-lane roundabout. I think I was in the wrong lane and I had no idea which way to get out. The sign, full of loops and arrows, would have been helpful if I had a good five minutes to study it. But I didn’t even have a good five seconds to figure it out. This wasn’t my first trip to the rodeo. I’ve been in roundabouts before. But this one came too sudden for my liking and this was a multi-lane contraption and there were cars around me with drivers who knew what they were doing while I didn’t. The first rule of roundabout is DON’T STOP! So, I didn’t stop. I tapped the brakes a little and slowed down and thought I was committing a sin. I snuck into the correct lane and got onto the proper exit without any damage but that was close. On the ride back, I hit the same roundabout and thankfully there wasn’t much traffic on it and I was able to get through it with little hardship. T.J., who had just gotten his driver’s license a few months ago, said “I’m glad I don’t have to drive through this.” After doing a little more research on how to drive on these things, the Washington State Department of Transportation
provides a five-part video on how to drive it. Five parts!!! So even though folks claim they are safer, I’m still a little suspicious.

Barking at a dog named Bear Sandburg High School football fans may remember how much of a great linebacker Antonio Morrison was in recent years when the Raiders and Eagles would clash. He accepted a scholarship at the University of Florida and great things were expected from him. In a funny/sad turn of events, Morrison has been arrested two times this summer in the Sunshine State. The first time, he was charged with battery by Gainesville police after allegedly attacking a bouncer at a club for not letting him in for free, according to media reports. A police report said he told the bouncer: “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a football player. I’m Antonio!” A lot more people likely know who Antonio is now after his second arrest. It’s become a national joke. That came Sunday when he was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor of interfering with a police animal and resisting arrest without violence after allegedly barking at an Alachua County Sheriff’s police dog named Bear. Morrison said he did it because the dog barked at him first, according to the police report. He has been suspended for two games by the team. The kicker to all of this? His high school coach, John Ivlow, is a Bolingbrook cop.

From appeals bench, Sterba joins law firm Enters private practice after judicial career by Jeff Vorva staff reporter Palos Heights attorney David Sterba never served as a juror in his life. “I was called but never chosen,” he said. That’s one of the few things the man has never done in the courtroom. He has done just about everything else. Sterba is now a part of the reorganized Walsh, Fewkes and Sterba Law Firm, which has offices in Palos Heights at 7270 W. College Drive and in Chicago. Matt Walsh has been a trial lawyer for 45-plus years. Dave Fewkes has been at it for 30 years. They are parlaying that three-quarter of a century wealth of experience with a guy who knows the ins and outs and many sides of the courtroom and court system. The 55-year-old Sterba has been a criminal defense lawyer and worked with personal injury litigation from 1984-1996. For 12 years, he was a circuit judge for Cook County and served as a felony trial judge in the Fifth Municipal District based at the
courthouse in Bridgeview. He was appointed Presiding Judge of the Fifth District in 2008 and was the boss over 24 other judges. In 2011 the Illinois Supreme Court appointed him as a Justice on the Illinois Appellate Court and in 2012 the South Suburban Bar Association named him “Jurist of the Year.” He’s also used his lofty position to teach and give lectures to his peers, college students and high school students. And now he is heading back into the trenches. Sterba resigned as a judge July 1 and will be back in action in the courtroom as a lawyer again. “I’m back in the battle,” he said. “I found being a judge stimulating and challenging and that part I will miss. But with every new opportunity I look for a new host of challenges. My life is one where I like to climb mountains. I’ve climbed a few and that was one of them and now I will climb another.” The former judge can’t wait to get back to his roots. “I like litigation and trying cases in a courtroom,” Sterba said. “I look forward to getting back into
the well of the courtroom and arguing before juries. I miss that. I use this analogy — trial lawyers are to the law what surgeons are to medicine. It’s very stimulating to get into the court and litigate like that.” He said his style is to be “authentic” and “genuine” when he is litigating and “not to try to be someone I’m not.” Sterba grew up in Alsip and attended Richards High School and started to grow an appreciation for law at an early age. “I read books and watched television programs and found the law to be very intriguing and interesting,” he said. “I enjoyed a composite of the television lawyers and the real life lawyers. I liked reading biographies of lawyers from Abraham Lincoln to Gerry Spence to Clarence Darrow. I loved reading all of those books. I tried to learn something from all of them because those lawyers certainly had a lot to offer and teach young aspiring lawyers.” He grew up with his brother, Bob, who was a longtime Palos Heights policeman and is now the police chief in New Lenox. David also picked up some police train-
ing as he was a deputy sheriff in the Cook County Court Services Division. Sterba attended St. Xavier University and the John Marshall Law School and has lived in Palos Heights since 1991. He is married to Patricia and they have three children — Lisa, Ashley and David. He is a parishioner at St. Alexander Catholic Church in Palos Heights. Sterba admits that there is a lot more to law than the exciting trials seen on television and in movies. There is the preparation work, which is not very glamorous. But he said he enjoys that aspect of law because “the best lawyer in the room is the one who is best prepared.” He can’t wait for his first case, he said. “Everything I have done provides and advantage to me and an added perspective,” he said. “From being a deputy sheriff in the courtroom when I was a law student to being a prosecutor, a defense attorney, trial judge and appellate judge … all of those Submitted photo things give me an added perspec- Former Illinois Appellate Court Justice David Sterba is heading back tive and allow me to be as good to the courtroom as a lawyer in private practice after spending close as I could be.” to two decades as a judge.
Veterans of ‘The Forgotten War’ remember Korea conflict ended 60 years ago this week

Palos Heights’ Jim Roos points to a photo of he and his troops during the Korean War. by Jeff Vorva staff reporter The 60th anniversary of the closing of the Korean War is Saturday, and the conflict that is known as “The Forgotten War” is not forgotten by those who served in it. Whether the fighting is full of honor and glory, such as World War I and World War II, or one that people didn’t quite grasp, such as the Korean War or Viet
Nam War, to the people who served in it, war is war, blood is blood and death is death no matter what the folks back home think of it. Years later, area vets had vivid memories of the Korean War. “I didn’t care for it,” deadpanned 85-year-old Jim Roos, of Palos Heights. He served during the winter of 1951 as a medic in the Army. “When I served, it was as cold as it could get. The wind was

fierce. We lived in tents and foxholes. It was a bitch. We wore snow packs instead of boots. A lot of guys got hurt and we had to care for the wounded. We were supposed to ride in ambulances with red crosses on them but the North Koreans used them as target practice. So we stayed behind the soldiers and even though we weren’t supposed to carry guns, there were times we carried guns.” Ed Stangel, 88, also of Palos Heights, is a veteran of two wars as a member of the United States Navy. He saw action in World War II from 1943 through 1946 and was called to duty to work on submarines in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. “It was daily routine — nothing exciting,” Stangel said. “I never saw enemy planes. I was never where the action was.” Both vets agree that the reception they received after coming returning home from this war was nothing special. “It was a war that was of noninterest to anybody who wasn’t in the service,” Stangel said. “What happened in World War II made people want to be there. During the Korean War, even the people seeing action were not always sure why they were there and they couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.” “Oh hell no — there were no parades or anything like that for us,” Roos said. “I came home and some people said ‘oh, he’s home — oh that’s good.’ That’s about it.” Both area men have went on to have interesting post-war lives and careers. Roos, who was originally from Chicago, worked as a travelling salesman in Pittsburgh and moved to the south suburbs and was a longtime advertising and marketing executive. He was an account executive for Parkay margarine and helped promote the commercial in the 1970s in which a tub of the product would say “butter” whenever actor Vic Tayback would open it.

Jim Roos (second from left bottom) recalled the bitter cold of Korea when he served as an Army medic. Stangel had various job including a longtime stint with the Otis Elevator Company and eventually became a union representative. He moved to Missouri for a while and said he was a mayor of the small town of Armstrong for a couple of years. He currently does volunteer work at Our Lady of the Woods Church in Palos Park. Roos said the “Forgotten War” should always be remembered. “There were 33,000 of our guys killed,” he said. “It was a terrible loss. Some people wouldn’t even call it a war back then. Everything was totally political.” President Truman originally termed the conflict “a police action.” War was never declared by Congress. There will be a ceremony commemorating the war’s final days at 10:30 a.m. this Friday at the Korean War memorial at Kennedy Park, 11320 S. Western Ave. in Chicago.

    The gas pipe was damaged below the shut-off valve and required Nicor to come to the scene to control the leak. Three homes were evacuated as a precaution until the gas could be controlled. Nicor located the leaking pipe in the yard and stopped the leak.     The neighbors came out to help the owners of the home by bringing chairs and water to them while firefighters fought the fire. The
fire was particularly challenging because of the heat and weather, a fire district spokesperson said.     The Orland Fire Protection District worked with the displaced residents providing cold water and shelter in the firehouse across the street from the incident. The extreme heat conditions posed an additional threat for responders and displaced home owners alike. There were no injuries during this.

But Collins pulled out at the last minute, citing an unnamed poten-
tial conflict of interest.     The agency is already being investigated by several parties including Roger Heaton, who was paid for by Metra.     “We have yet to see [Heaton’s] report,� Schaffer told NBC5. “Why in the world would we hire another investigator until we see the report from the first investigator?�     O’Halloran said he wants an impartial party with “flawless credentials� to come in and investigate the entire controversy and thought Collins was a perfect choice. O’Halloran said he would keep looking for an investiga-

Failures in free fall in Dist. 218 by Bob McParland District 218 Data comparing failure rates for second semesters the past four years reveal an encouraging trend. This year, failures fell to their lowest level since the district began tracking. Administrators have identified some possible reasons. The trend, with an exception or two in individual years at individual schools, spans across Shepard, Richards, and Eisenhower high schools. Dating back to 2010, the average number of failed classes in all of District 218 for second semester looks like this: 1,117, 814, 896 and 760. Even the one year where the number rose slightly stands significantly lower than 2010. “It’s encouraging to see that the number of failures has generally decreased over the past three
years,” said Dr. Kathy Gavin, the director of data, assessment, and evaluation. So, what’s behind the fall in failures? Quite possibly, a change to a more centrally-aligned system of testing and course objectives. “This could be attributed to common unit and semester assessments tightly aligned to course objectives and instructional strategies,” she wrote in her report to the Board of Education. Over the last several years, District 218 has developed common unit assessments: Teams of teachers developed exams for use by all instructors of English I, U.S. History, etc. What difference does it make to employ the same assessments and tests? Plenty. First, because all instructors who teach a specific course must use the same assessment or test, they know
what material must be covered. Every teacher for a specific course covers the same content, tests that content in the same way, and then analyzes results. “The best classroom assessments serve as meaningful sources of information for teachers, helping them identify what they taught well and what they need to work on,” according to the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. In other words, common assessments help identify areas where students show strength and where they need help. Ultimately, that means they improve mastery of concepts and skills. And ‘unit’ assessments — those that test students at regular intervals — provide immediate feedback. That’s extremely useful for teachers. They know right away where students need some help.
Trinity Christian College ranked among top colleges for your money Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights has been ranked No. 103 among the top 150 best colleges for your money nationwide by College Factual (collegefactual. com), a new site that uses customizable outcomes-based tools and rankings systems to guide students through the college selection process. Trinity Christian College’s rank reflects the institution’s academic quality and economic value, based on the cost of obtaining an undergraduate degree. A number of outcomes-based factors were used to determine this ranking, such as average student loan debt per student, loan default rates, how well the institution retains and graduates students, and graduates’ starting
salaries and earning potential. “College rankings lists are a dime a dozen and often rely on data that provides limited value-we publish rankings to get students and parents thinking about key factors they need to consider when choosing a college,” says Bill Phelan, CEO of College Factual. “How long will it take you to graduate? How much debt will you incur? How much money will you make? We highlight important factors such as these in our rankings to help build personalized lists, which is the ultimate goal in any college selection process.” With a focus on compiling sought-after data and innovative tools such as its customizable College Combat feature-which allows
students to compare institutions side-by-side on a variety of factors-College Factual puts the college rankings process in the hands of students and parents and not those of the institutions or national publications. College Factual’s ranking system is based on a series of algorithms that include information from the Department of Education, nationally mandated data reporting for institutions and Payscale.

40 Years Ago This Week There was plenty of sunshine on the faces of more than 600 participants at Palos Sports day last Saturday. Champion pie eaters mug for our photographer (from left) Jeff Horvath, fourth place; Tim Aienberg, third; Jim Hoffman, second; and Stewart Ross, first. The event, co-sponsored by the Palos Heights park and recreation board and the Palos Youth Baseball organization, drew large crowds of both spectators and participants.
Virginia Richards (1914 - 1995)
We can’t believe it happened (From July 25, 1985) We were all still in bed when Delores, my cleaning woman, came tearing down the driveway. I hastened downstairs to let her in. As she burst through the door, she exclaimed, “Toodles has been found dead!” Toodles was the wife of Butch Sivertsen, son of our good friend, Odin Sivertsen, and stepson of his wife Maggie who is my very best friend and close neighbor here in Wisconsin. They lived next door to Maggie and Odin. I immediately called Maggie, and she related to me what had happened. Toodles worked at the C-Store in Iron River. She went to work at 6:30 a.m., relieving the girl who had worked all night. When Toodles didn’t appear at work on
time Thursday morning, the girl called her home, but got no answer. (Butch was on a hunting trip 400 miles north in Canada.) The girl then called Maggie and asked her to go next door and see if she could rouse Toodles. Maggie went, and found Toodles lying in the yard. “I knew the minute I saw her face, that she was dead,” Maggie told me. “Her hands were dirty, as if she had clawed at the ground trying to get up.” The Canadian Mounties located Butch and he arrived home Friday night. Toodles’ death was a terrible shock to all of us. She was only 51 years old, and had appeared to be in the best of health. The coroner pronounced the cause of death “heart failure.”
It was a big funeral. Toodles and Butch were well liked in the community. Butch is the head of the V.F.W. and the services were held at the V.F.W. hall, which was filled to overflowing and banked with flowers. After the funeral, the family sent most of the flowers to the four local churches in Iron River. Toodles’ six handsome sons by a former marriage were the pallbearers. Fortunately, the weather was good. It was a beautiful day. After the interment at a local cemetery, the congregation was invited back to the V.F.W. hall for a sumptuous luncheon. This is a local custom which seems to ease the pain a little. But nothing can really ease the pain of losing Toodles at so young an age.
John Griffin, Oak Forest “I saw Neil Diamond. It was fabulous with all the people there; it was a huge crowd.”
John Ferriter, Palos Park “I saw Michael Flatley. Being Irish, it was great! There was a crowd of Irish people and everyone was excited.”

Briefly describe the greatest concert experience of your life. (Asked at Lake Katherine Nature Center & Botanical Garden in Palos Heights)
Emil Koschnitzki, Palos Park “I was fortunate enough to go to Frankfurt, Germany, to see one of Mozart’s symphonies. I was dressed up in a suit, and it was extremely hot. The concert was in a ballroom, and there were beautiful murals on the wall. Since it was a ballroom, we sat on folding chairs on the ballroom floor, but it was beautiful. They tried recreating it as if Mozart was still there.”
Sam Hynes, Palos Park “I went to see The Fray with my best friend, Drew, a few years ago. Jack’s Mannequin opened. We sat on lawn seats. It was cool — there was a laid back atmosphere even though there were lots of people. I got a free pair of sunglasses.”
Drew Baar, Lockport “Me and a few friends went to see Jimmy Buffet when we were in seventh grade. It was at the Tweeter Center and my friend had box seats. It was super chill and super relaxed. It was a fun concert.”

Pick of the Litter By John R. Fleming, DVM Dear Dr. Fleming: I have a 9-year-old Siamese cat. Charles is overweight and very skittish, but is in good health otherwise. I am going to Florida for a week and don’t want to board him. I have a friend who said he will come over the house and feed him but another friend who knows a pet-sitter told me I should use a pet-sitter or someone who is more dependable than the guy I have in mind to watch Charlie since he is overweight. She said his liver might be fatty. Does this make any sense to you? Steven, Worth Dear Steven: To a veterinarian this makes perfectly good sense. Your second friend is on the right track. Since Charlie is both overweight and skittish, he is a sitting duck for fatty liver syndrome. When you are in Florida, Charlie’s personality may cause him to not eat, or your friend may scare him, or your friend may come over and feed him only once while you are gone. You never know. Overweight cats that do not eat suddenly, can slip into fatty liver syndrome, more properly called hepatic lipidosis. Hepatic lipidosis (HL) is infiltration of the liver with fat (lipids). Charlie’s liver is not currently filled with fat, but HL can arise when a cat suddenly stops eating or reduces his food intake for any number of reasons. When the cat stops eating, fat reserves in the body are mobilized and move into the liver to generate energy, and
entire test results are known because delaying food intake further aggravates the situation. The most important aspect of treatment is to make certain food intake is adequate. Because most cats with HL are not eating voluntarily they need to be force fed or have a temporary feeding tube placed under general anesthesia. Most cats must take in more food than what they are willing to eat for a period several weeks, so providing adequate intake via feeding tubes is easier to accomplish for both the cat and the owner. The most important component of the diet that helps the liver return to normal function is the amino acid arginine.

Billy Graham’s “My Answer�     Q: Why can’t Christians get along with each other? Our church is going through some conflict right now over what is really a minor issue, but no one wants to give in or admit they might be wrong. Are all churches like this? — Mrs. N.F.     A: No, all churches aren’t like this — not at all. God’s will is for His people to live in peace, with each other and with the world around them. And when church members understand this and understand too God’s command to love each other, conflicts will be rare. Jesus said, “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another� (John 13:35).     H o w e v e r, Christians admittedly don’t always live up to this standard, and I’ve often asked myself why. One reason is because we’re still human, and although God has come to live within us by His Holy Spirit and has given us a new spiritual nature, our old sinful nature still lives within us also. Even the Apostle Paul admitted that his old sinful nature sometimes overwhelmed his new nature. He declared, “The evil I do not want to do — this I keep on doing� (Romans 7:19).     But there is another reason for this: Satan loves to see Christians squabbling among themselves, and he’ll do everything he can to make it happen. He knows it brings dishonor to the name of Christ and hurts their witness to unbelievers. The Bible reminds us that “God is not a God of disorder but of peace� (1 Corinthians 14:33).     Pray for your church and its members, and especially your pastor. Ask God also to make you an instrument of His peace and love. Above all, don’t be distracted but keep your eyes

How can younger investors cope with tough times? As Americans, we’re used to thinking that we will inevitably do better than our parents’ generation. But, for now at least, this type of progress may be facing some roadblocks — and this inability to gain ground, financially, can have real implications for today’s younger people and their approach to investing. Before we get to the investment component, though, let’s quickly review the nature of the problem. In a nutshell, younger Americans — those in their twenties and thirties — have accrued significantly less wealth than their parents did at the same age, according to a recent study by the Urban Institute. Here’s why: • Bursting of housing “bubble” — Many younger people who bought houses shortly before the housing “bubble” began deflating in 2006 now find themselves to be “underwater” on their mortgages — that is, they owe more than their houses are worth. Consequently, they have less opportunity to build home equity — which has been an important means of building wealth for past generations. • Student-loan debt — The median balance among all households with student loan debt is now more than $13,000, according to the Pew Research Center — and debt levels are much higher for recent graduates. It can take years to pay off these debts — and the money being used for debt payments is money that can’t go toward building wealth for longterm goals.
Jim Van Howe
• Wage stagnation — For several years, the job market has been pretty bad for younger workers. And even those with jobs aren’t making much headway, because wages, adjusted for inflation, have largely stagnated for over a decade. Less income clearly equates to less opportunities for investing and creating wealth. Still, even given these somewhat grim realities, younger people can help themselves build resources for the future and make progress toward their long-term goals. If you’re in this group, what can you do? For starters, pay yourself first. Set up an automatic payment each month from your checking or savings account into an investment vehicle, such as an IRA. At first, you may only be able to afford small sums — but, over time, you may be pleasantly surprised at the amount you’ve saved. Next, every time your salary goes up, try to increase the amount you put into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. Because you typically contribute pretax dollars to your 401(k) or other
plan, the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. Plus, your money can grow on a taxdeferred basis. Here’s another suggestion: Don’t be “over-cautious” with your investments. Many younger investors, apparently nervous due to market volatility of recent years, have become quite conservative, putting relatively large amounts of their portfolio into vehicles that offer significant protection of principal but little in the way of growth potential. Of course, the financial markets will always fluctuate, and downturns will occur — but when you’re young, and you have many decades in which to invest, you have time to overcome short-term declines. To achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement, you will unquestionably need some growth elements in your portfolio, with the exact amount based on your risk tolerance and specific objectives. These aren’t the easiest times for young people. Nonetheless, with diligence, perseverance and a measure of sacrifice, you can gain some control over your financial fortunes — so look for your opportunities.

Celebrating 50 years with Golden Shoes Last week, Bob and Ruth Regnerus, of Palos Heights, took the opportunity to carry on a summer shoe-shopping tradition with their eight grandchildren at Golden Shoes. The patronage began when Ruth was a young girl, and her family frequented the full-service shop at 12212 S. Harlem Ave. The tradition has continued for four generations, and these loyal customers are happy to have Mark Golden and the staff at Golden Shoes as part of the neighborhood. Shown are grandchildren Makena (8) from left, Isaac (11), Makaio (5), Anna (11), Will (15), Kanoa (3), Kai (5 months), Bethany (13) and daughter-in-law Carrie.

continued to fill, quickly exceeding planned attendance. Audience members, including residents and the children and grandchildren of the choir members, were treated to pre-performance, red-white-and-blue ice pops. The concert kicked off with an inspiring sing-along of “God Bless America” and continued with traditional songs such as “My Country Tis of Thee” mixed with modern ballads like Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA.” Interspersed were readings of American patriots’ lives. Small flags were distributed to all viewers and, at the concert’s conclusion, the audience became a sea of stars and stripes as veterans of each military division raised the flags as their respective armed forces official song was played. “All the raised flags in this room represent the number of patriots we have sitting right here at Peace Village. Not only do we honor the patriots of our nation’s history but today we acknowledge the sacrifice given by each person here who served in our country’s military as well as the spouses and extended families of those who served. We are a blessed nation — filled with people who love this country and what it stands for. Our hope should remain that God will continue to bless this country we call home.” The singers received a standing ovation and then modestly accepted individual handshakes and gratitude for sharing their voices. For Ole, this moment brings mixed emotions, as he himself is infected with Peace Passion. “We are all sad when the concerts are over. But then we start looking forward to the next one.” For information about Peace Village, call 361-3683.

Peace Village Singers bring centuries of talent Senior choir concerts a thrill for audience and performers alike by Rebecca Palumbo     Bieber Fever seems like a mere sniffle compared to Peace Passion.     While Bieber Fever is a shortlived teen-age malady affecting Justin Bieber fans, when concert-goers are infected with Peace Passion, they don’t ever grow out of it.     Clarence “Ole� Olson is one of dozens of senior singers who incite this Passion. Ole is part of the Peace Village Choir in Palos Park. He’s been singing all his life, and at 88 years old, that’s a lot more music than Justin has ever heard.
    More than 125 people enjoyed the recent standing-room-only concert in honor of the Fourth of July, and nearly everyone, women and men, made time to shake Ole’s hand and thank him for his fulltoned solo of a Civil War song. He smiled graciously and thanked them right back for attending the concert and singing along.     “I’ve still got it,� he said. “I still enjoy it too, even if it’s just for myself. I used to be able to get a lot higher than I can now, but my diction is still good. I grew up in the Depression with three sisters. We would get together in the front room, my dad playing harmonica and guitar — he could

play them both at the same time — and we would sing for hours. I can’t remember ever not singing. I can’t see very well anymore so I can’t play cards, but I can still sing. I’m a hambone and if I see a piano — well, I’m a little loud, but I can’t keep it in. It comes from the belly and I’ve got to get it out.�     Ole is perfectly comfortable with all the fuss the choir performances generate. He has been singing publicly for many decades, first in grammar school as a Boy Soprano, then at Taft High School. During his 35-year career for the phone company, he also sang in a barbershop quartet as a Bass and Baritone. About two years ago, just after he and his wife Ione settled into Peace Village after living in Midlothian for over 50 years, Ole joined the choir. Ione is a regular concert-goer, but declined to join the Choir. “She can’t sing,� chuckled Ole, “but I can’t talk about that.�     Donna Koenes, executive assistant to CEO Harvey Leffring, is Peace Village’s Choir Director. “In Peace Villages’ early years, there was a choir run by one of our residents and that petered out. I started working here about four years ago and a long-time resident discovered I had a musical background and asked me if I’d be interested in reviving the
choir. Well, it is a passion of mine and Harvey thought it would be a wonderful thing, so we went ahead.�     Koenes recruited 12 singers for their first concert, held at the end of 2009. Today, membership has swelled to 32, with six men, the largest crew of fellows to date. The choir performs four times each year and the concerts are open to the public. Koenes selects the theme and music and completes background research for short, spoken segues that educate the audience. “Our spring concert is kind of anything-goes,� she smiled. “We’ve had a tribute to Broadway, songs about springtime; that one is always different.� The December concert is focused on Christmas.     The summer concert is devoted (Continued on page 11)

Silliness in the heat of the moment Bartosh Hot weather occasionally makes people do crazy things. In the summer of 1974, for example, it caused some people to become public exhibitionists. Strangely, their sanity wasn’t really questioned at the time, only their choice of outfits, especially when those choosing to run naked through crowds were hairy, out-of-shape men. Streaking wasn’t done to cool off, only to look cool — or so the nudists thought. In retrospect, those appearances were definitely deceiving and the participants daffy. None of the items I’m about to relate is quite as bizarre as that brief fad of the mid-’70s, but it seems pretty evident that clear and rational thinking is still on holiday almost 40 years later. • Cap’n Klutz: San Francisco 49ers fans better hope Colin Kaepernick’s responses to on-field dilemmas this fall aren’t as clumsy as the one he gave when questioned about his recent choice of headgear. A picture of the Niners quarterback wearing a Miami Dolphins cap on the Fourth of July became a semi-big story during a slow news period. Kaepernick’s faux pas might have been glossed over had he been a bit more lowkey about the whole thing. Instead, though, he reacted to barbs aimed his way with an Instagram that showed him holding a Dolphins cap and with a quizzical expression on his face. Accompanying the photo was the following text: “This the hat y’all mad at? I’m goin wear what I want regardless of what you think, all you need to worry about is the fact that I grind for my teammates and the 49ers! I plan on doin this until they won’t let me in the building! #ridiculous #y’allmustbebored” Ignoring the fact that this was written by a college graduate, Kaepernick’s in-your-face answer to his critics was disturbing for another reason: He truly doesn’t seem to understand what he did wrong. His apologists have said that since it’s the offseason, Kaepernick should be free to wear whatever he wants. But Kaepernick is officially a 49ers employee 12 months of the year, and it’d be understandable if team management were not too crazy about the QB’s attire. Kaepernick could have worn a Miami Marlins hat without fear of reprimand, except no sane person is advertising his allegiance to baseball’s bottom-
feeders these days. Conversely, he could have jumped aboard the Miami Heat bandwagon and been accused of no worse than front-running. And had Kaepernick opted to wear a University of Miami hat, all that would have happened is that he would have been mistaken for the Hurricanes’ latest recruit. But he chose a Dolphins hat. As others before me have stated, were Kaepernick operating in the corporate world, his actions would be akin to a General Motors employee driving a Toyota to work, a Coca-Cola worker quenching his lunch-hour thirst with a 7-Up, or a FedEx employee using UPS to ship his packages. In some circles, Kaepernick apparently receives a pass simply because he’s a jock, but he doesn’t get one here. Maybe that’s why he bought pizzas for media members during Super Bowl week last winter — to curry their future favor. And maybe I’d feel differently now if he had saved me a slice back then. • Cap’n Klutz, Part 2: Are these hats fitting too tightly or what? Why do guys’ top-of-thehead fashion statements keep saying such dumb things? In comparison to Mike Pouncey, Kaepernik’s misstep is almost comical. Pouncey, a Miami Dolphins offensive lineman, recently caught heat for wearing a hat that proclaimed support for former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who was arrested on murder charges. Pouncey and his twin brother Maurkice, a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, both were photographed wearing Hernandez-related hats while appearing in public. Hernandez was a college teammate of the Pouncey brothers at the University of Florida. Maurkice later issued an apology on his Twitter account, but Mike declined to do the same after being asked about the hats by members of the media. He did, however, acknowledge that he and other professional athletes “get paid a lot of money to act in a certain way, and that’s the way we should be acting.” Well, that certainly cleared everything up. Personally, I suspect Mike’s been throwing too many blocks with his hat on instead of his helmet. • Cash clod: Brandon Phillips is a very rich man, but you wouldn’t know it by listening
to him. The Cincinnati Reds second baseman isn’t being modest and trying to downplay his hefty, prosports income. If his words that appeared in a Cincinnati magazine are to be believed, Phillips really does view himself as financially shortchanged. He stated that the six-year, $72 million deal he agreed to is “a slap in the face” compared to the 10-year, $225 million pact the Reds presented to Phillips’ teammate, Joey Votto, five days before. Following is part of the statement Phillips offered to the magazine: “I just feel like they didn’t have to sign Joey to that contract. He still had two more years on his. And for (the front office) to go out there and sign him before they sign me, and they knew I was going to be a free agent. … I told everybody I want to finish my career here. And then they give someone a contract who didn’t ask for nothing? To this day, I’m still hurt. Well, I don’t wanna say hurt. I’ll say scarred. I’m still scarred. It just sucks that it happened.” If a tear didn’t well up in your eye after reading that, then you are completely without feeling. No man should have to put up with such an insult, and only the most heartless of individuals would begrudge Phillips his rightful share of the Reds’ payroll. So who wants to start the charity drive on his behalf? Hey, count me in, but before that happens, I do have one question for Phillips: Can you please identify the management person who pointed the gun at you to get you to sign your contract? After spouting off, Phillips, like Kaepernick, didn’t have the good sense to just ignore the criticism that inevitably followed. No, he compounded it by asking inquisitive reporters to “tell me exactly what did I say that was so wrong?” Phillips went on to praise himself for his honesty in dealing with the media and said he “didn’t disrespect nobody.” I guess that means Cincinnati fans — you know, those folks who must spend ever-increasing amounts of their own slap-inthe-face salaries to attend games or purchase Reds paraphernalia because of the dollars being given to guys like Votto and Phillips — don’t really count. Oh well, at least Phillips didn’t don a Baltimore Orioles hat in protest.

Summer baseball roundup
Locals left out of Lawler Classic By Ken Karrson Once again, a baseball state tournament lacked local flavor. No area team was able to advance as far as the supersectional round during the IHSA spring playoffs, and the Phil Lawler Summer Classic that got underway this past Monday at North Central College and Benedictine University was also devoid of neighborhood schools. Six area entries, in fact, were one-and-done in regional play, while another was two-andthrough. Just Sandburg and St. Laurence — the only local clubs to ever win summer championships — made it as far as a regional finale, and both fell short in their quest for an Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association Elite Eight berth. The Eagles narrowly missed, though, as they dropped a 4-3 verdict to Minooka in last Thursday’s Lockport Regional title clash. Longtime Chicago Catholic League rival St. Rita showed the Vikings the exit door in the Richards Regional by knocking them off 10-3 that same day. Richards had squared off with the Mustangs the day before and suffered a 6-0 setback as sophomore Justin Vivar stopped the Bulldogs on two hits. Eric Mallo’s bunt single in the sixth broke up Vivar’s no-hit bid and Shawn Chiaramonte added a triple in the seventh. “I thought we hit the ball pretty good, but they caught it,” Richards assistant coach Jeff Kortz said of St. Rita. “[Vivar] hit his spots pretty well and they were good in all phases.” As for Sandburg, it reeled off four straight wins at Lockport before suffering the gut-wrenching defeat versus Minooka. The Indians did all their scoring in one inning, in part by taking advantage of two Eagles errors. Minooka’s rally erased a 2-0 edge Sandburg had established in the second stanza. “After you take the lead, you’ve got to put up zeros after that and lock them down,” Eagles assistant coach George Fear said. “We were disappointed, for sure, at the end, but our pitching gave us a chance to win every single game. We [also] had consistent at-bats — we had a lot of deep flyouts [in this contest] — and picked the ball up for the most part.” Sandburg was within a run in the seventh when it proceeded to load the bases with no one out, but the Indians registered a key double play to lessen the threat. The back end of the twin killing featured an Eagle being tagged out at the plate on a bullet throw from Minooka’s right fielder. A groundout then concluded the game. Prior to losing to the Indians, Sandburg upended both Joliet Central (11-1) and Romeoville (9-4) last Monday, Providence Catholic (4-1) on Tuesday and
Lemont (3-2 in nine innings) on Wednesday. Chris Stearns’ walkoff homer was the difference against Lemont. The Eagles (11-3) also used the long ball to tally their other markers, as Alec Martinez and Julian Gutierrez went deep in the first and fourth frames, respectively. Equally important to Sandburg’s well-being was pitcher Bryan Pall, who worked eight innings and struck out 13. “He was nasty,” Fear said of his hurler. “Bryan probably made [only] three mistakes in the game. Lemont has some very good players and I’d be shocked if they didn’t make a run in [Class] 3A next year, but he was dominant and had the kind of stuff which is hard to hit. It was one of the better outings I’ve seen.” The Eagles, who finished with 10 hits, allowed the Indians to forge a pair of ties before getting the final say on Stearns’ blast. *** Providence, which had slipped past Chicago Christian 5-4 last Monday, held a 1-0 advantage over Sandburg on Tuesday heading into the seventh. And things didn’t look any better for the latter as that stanza progressed, as the Eagles were eventually down to their last strike. But Ben Kociper’s single pro longed Sandburg’s plate appearance. A hit batsman, Jim Landgraf’s infield hit and a wild pitch helped draw the Eagles even, then Jim Roche (RBI single) and Martinez (two-run double) delivered hits that turned the tide for good. Providence put two men aboard in its half of the seventh, but Pall, who had relieved Sean Leland, induced a game-ending double play. “We hit a lot of balls on the screws, [so] if we would have lost 1-0, it was one of those games where you’d say, ‘What can you do?’” Fear said. “We felt good because we hit the ball hard, and finally something fell in for us. We were down and out [before that], but we were able to come back.” Leland pitched a solid game for Sandburg, as the lone run notched off him resulted from a bad-hop single that bounced off an Eagles infielder’s face. Although Sandburg was unable to ultimately position itself for a run at its first summer championship since 2007, Fear thought the spirited display in the regional round would present long-term benefits to the Eagles. “I think it was great for our confidence,” he said. “We played some good teams here and battled. We can always come back to this when we’re in a funk, which every team goes through during a season.” ST. LAURENCE Before getting silenced on three hits by St. Rita ace Mike Costanzo, the Vikings’ offense was operating in high gear.
St. Laurence recorded three straight lopsided victories in the Richards Regional as it routed Shepard (10-1), Homewood-Flossmoor (13-3) and De La Salle (11-1) in succession. The Vikings secured the latter pair of triumphs in just six innings. “We played very well and swung the bats well,” St. Laurence coach Pete Lotus said. “We definitely put it all together.” The Vikings (13-6) actually fell behind the Astros 1-0 last Monday after Jake Hart belted an RBI triple for Shepard, but Frank Greco’s triple and an Astros miscue enabled St. Laurence to pull even in its portion of the second inning. From there, the Vikings gradually pulled away, using a three-run fifth to construct an insurmountable 8-1 edge. “They’re a good team and they showed it,” Shepard coach Frank DiFoggio said of St. Laurence. “Both sides made mistakes, but they took advantage of ours.” DiFoggio claimed his squad “had some opportunities,” but two such instances got short-circuited by putouts at the plate. Vikings pitcher Rob Gutierrez also hamstrung the Astros at critical moments. “He had another gear he went to once we got guys on [base],” DiFoggio said. Shepard was guilty of four errors, which paved the way for St. Laurence’s fifth-inning outburst. None of the Vikings’ tallies in that stanza was earned. “They didn’t really pound the ball,” DiFoggio said. “They only hit two balls hard. They had a lot of high school base hits.” Despite the errors on this occasion, DiFoggio thought defense was generally a strong suit for the Astros (7-9) this summer. “We usually didn’t lose games because of the dropped fly ball or the ball going between our legs,” he said. “It was just little things, little teachable moments that we need to learn from. If we do, we could be a really good team.” *** St. Laurence continued rolling the next day as it unloaded 11 hits and complemented them with 10 free passes, a combination that proved lethal to H-F. Those Vikings had moved on in the tournament by shutting out Oak Lawn 4-0 on Monday. Mike Kornacker was St. Laurence’s big gun as he went 4-for-5 with two homers and five RBI. Four of the RBI came on his sixthinning round-tripper, the grand slam serving as the linchpin to a victory-securing six-run uprising. “All summer, he’s hit,” Lotus said of his Purdue Universitybound senior-to-be. “He’s amazing. There’s not anything on the baseball field Mike can’t do. He’s one of the most talented kids I’ve ever had. “Once you have a [two-time Player of the Year like] Kyle (Continued on page 2)

Summer baseball (Continued from page 1) Wood, you wonder if you’ll ever get another kid like that, in terms of not only talent, but work ethic and leadership. Maybe because he’s been up on varsity since he was a freshman, I’ve noticed [his development] more, but it’s been great to see Mike grow.” As had happened versus Shepard, the Vikings spotted their foe an early advantage. H-F was ahead 20 and 3-1 before bases-loaded walks to Mike Miller and Roger Wilson in the third inning squared things at 3-all. Nate Tholl’s two-RBI triple, plus a throwing error attached to the end of that same play put St. Laurence ahead to stay. Also making their presences felt on offense were Kevin White (two hits, two RBI, two bases-on-balls) and Brad Wood (two hits). Wood reached base four times on the day. Relief pitcher John Riordan was the Vikings’ main man on the hill as he fanned four and allowed just one hit over a 2 1/3-inning span. *** More fireworks were launched against De La Salle, which reached Wednesday’s semifinal by virtue of a 4-0 decision over Brother Rice on Tuesday. While Wood was handcuffing the Meteors and limiting them to only two hits, the Vikings were backing him with an 11-hit onslaught. Kornacker slugged two more homers, Miller had one, and both players drove in a total of three runs. Between Tuesday and Wednesday, Kornacker went 7-for-8. Heard from as well were Wood (double, RBI), White (double, RBI) and Tholl (two RBI). St. Laurence collected four runs in its initial plate appearance and struck for four more in the sixth to wrap up a slaughter-rule triumph. *** Wood’s two-bagger was the team’s lone extra-base hit off St. Rita’s Costanzo on Thursday. The Mustangs used a six-run fifth frame to build an 8-1 cushion and shove the Vikings into an inescapable hole. Costanzo had also orchestrated St. Laurence’s departure from the spring postseason, doing so after the Vikings had pinned a regularseason loss on him. “That’s how it usually goes between us,” Lotus said, referring to the back-and-forth nature of the St. Rita-St. Laurence series. “Unfortunately, the last two times they ended our season, and that doesn’t sit too well [with our players]. We have to do something about that.” Lotus felt the Vikings “didn’t play our best game, and that was a little frustrating.” That was evident in St. Rita’s pivotal inning, which began with a St. Laurence error and was highlighted by a bases-clearing two-bagger. Even more debilitating to the Vikings, however, was their sudden lack of batting punch. They went hitless until the sixth inning, and Lotus thought his guys might have been pressing. He certainly felt that was the case with Kornacker on the mound. “I think he tried to make perfect pitches,” Lotus said, “and that catches up to you. I thought we were all putting pressure on ourselves. “If we do a little bit more offensively, it could have been different, but we just didn’t have great atbats. The momentum swings are dramatic in these games, and we didn’t do a good job of executing our game plan to put pressure on their defense.” St. Laurence was bidding for a second consecutive appearance in the Lawler Summer Classic and its third in four years. The Vikings won the summer title back in 1981. “Hopefully, we learn from it,” Lotus said of his club’s latest experience. “Some people don’t put much stock in the summer season, but I enjoy both formats. “I like the double elimination [used in the Lawler Summer Classic] and, believe it or not, I like the four-games-in-four-days format of the regional because you see the toughness of the kids. Unless you have rainouts, you don’t [typically] play four games in four days in the spring.” RICHARDS Before running into St. Rita, the Bulldogs (16-6) scored postseason wins over Eisenhower (12-2) and Bremen (7-6). The second of those encounters became a nail-biter after the Braves expunged a 4-0 deficit in the top of the fifth. Two more runs in the seventh then put Bremen ahead and placed the pressure squarely on Richards. Nate Natividad’s one-out single gave the Bulldogs some hope in the bottom of that inning. After a passed ball moved him into scoring position, Natividad raced home on Chiaramonte’s single. A Braves error followed and then Mike Marchione smacked a two-run double to complete Richards’ comeback. Kortz was impressed with the ’Dogs’ staging of their rally, particularly the roles Chiaramonte and Marchione played in it. “It was hotter than blazes at that time,” he said, “and Shawn and Mike had been at summer [football] camp from 8 to 9:45 in
the morning. So it was already a long day for them.” Spearheading Richards’ earlier scoring were Charlie Zeschke (tworun homer in the fourth inning) and Mallo (RBI triple in the second). Alex Villafuerte worked fourplus stanzas on the hill and was effective for most of that stay. *** Subduing Eisenhower at 10 a.m. on Monday was far less challenging for the Bulldogs, who put up back-to-back six-spots in the first two innings to leave the Cardinals in the dust. “Eisenhower was very young and eager to play, but our guys were focused,” Kortz said. “We hit the ball and we pounded the gaps, and everyone in the lineup got a hit.” Taking care of the pitching duties were Brett Thomas and Eric Ruge. The former went four frames and surrendered just two hits. “[Going] 16-6 isn’t bad,” Kortz said. “I think our kids are happy, but I don’t think they’re satisfied.” “I still think it was a productive summer,” head coach Brian Wujcik said. “We’ve got some guys who can play next year and we answered some questions. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the purpose of the summer.” BROTHER RICE Alex Alarcon, who’ll be vying for the starting spot at quarterback for the Crusaders football team this fall, displayed his abilities on the diamond last Monday by pitching Rice to a 10-0 triumph over neighboring Evergreen Park. The Mustangs had given the Crusaders (14-7) a serious scare during a regular-season meeting a couple weeks earlier before absorbing a 2-1 loss, but Evergreen was no threat to Rice this time, thanks to Alarcon, who held the Mustangs without a hit through four innings. Kevin Farmer’s bad-hop single and another single by Mike Rizzo represented the full extent of Evergreen’s noisemaking. “He was bringing it early and then went to his curveball, and we couldn’t get much going against their guy,” Mustangs coach Mark Smyth said. The same couldn’t be said of the Crusaders, who did a fair amount of damage versus Evergreen’s mound duo of Frank Meisl and Aaron Green Van Zee. Six runs in the fourth frame staked Rice to a comfortable lead and assured it of additional tournament play. “You’ve got to give them credit because we didn’t make any misplays at all,” Smyth said. “We’re very high on [Meisl and Green Van Zee], but they got hit pretty hard, which hasn’t happened very often. [The Crusaders] swung it pretty good.” Although his squad bagged only one win this summer, Smyth was satisfied with what he had witnessed from it. He believes Corey Miller will become a reliable replacement for the departed Kyle Venhuizen at first base and that Kevin Gallagher can also be an influential figure next spring. “We answered a few questions and there were a lot of positives, so it was a good summer,” Smyth said. “You never have your cohesive unit, so to speak, so the record in the summer means very little. It’s a good group coming back [in 2014], and it’ll be easier to build on this because of what we did this [past] spring.” Evergreen netted three Class 3A postseason triumphs in late May, winning the school’s first regional crown in 55 years in the process and reaching a sectional final for the first time ever. CHICAGO CHRISTIAN The Knights won 11 times in 14 games during the regular summer campaign, but they ended 2013 with an 0-1 playoff ledger after suffering a one-run defeat against Providence last Monday. The 5-4 outcome tilted the Celtics’ way largely because Chicago Christian (11-4) never completely recovered from an early blitz. Providence constructed a 5-0 edge in the first inning. “If we don’t spot them five runs, we’re right there,” Knights coach Eric Brauer said. “We just came up short.” The Celtics’ assault was somewhat surprising in that much of it was mounted against all-area pitcher Josh Novak. The seniorto-be retired only one of the six batters he faced while walking three and giving up a double. “When you do that, you can do a lot of damage with a minimum of hits,” Brauer said, referring to a team’s ability to coax free passes. “As a junior, Josh wasn’t doing that last spring. We were kind of scratching and clawing right from the first pitch.” Junior-to-be Christian Bolhuis slowed Providence after that, and RBI hits from Jack De Vries (double) and Mike Santarelli gave Chicago Christian’s offense a lift. Max Kerfin’s two-run single brought the Knights within one in the seventh inning, but the locals — who totaled nine hits in the game — left the potential tying run stranded. Christian’s inability to capitalize on a two-on, one-out situation in the sixth also undermined its quest to overtake a deeper foe. “They’ve got 40 guys on their summer team, so they probably
The Regional News - The Reporter bounced guys in and out to get them playing time,” Brauer said of the Celtics. “We had 16 guys and were limited in what we could do [differently], but I think we’ve got enough pieces of the puzzle to do well [in 2014].” OAK LAWN Four hits were all the Spartans (6-8) could muster against H-F, which rendered moot a solid exhibition from their own pitcher, Mitch Swatek, last Monday. Swatek whiffed six batters in five innings while walking just one and scattering seven hits. “With a pitching performance like that, we should win about 90 percent of the games [we play],” Oak Lawn coach Bill Gerny said. “Overall, I was happy with how tough we played them. It was nice to see, but we have to find a way to score runs. “Their defense was lock-down and their pitching was a little better than ours. Their curveballs weren’t overpowering, but we couldn’t make solid contact.” When Matt Dunne doubled off the left-field fence and a second man reached base with only one out, the Spartans threatened to break through in the second stanza, but they came up empty. The Vikings then struck for a couple runs in their half of the third, using two doubles and a single to inflict harm on Oak Lawn. The Spartans also got no mileage out of Brandon Quillin’s leadoff single in the first. “It was 4-0 going into the seventh, and that [margin] seemed big,” Gerny said. “We had a prime opportunity to score runs [early], but we didn’t and that kind of set the tone. It was like pulling teeth after that to get baserunners. “Six-and-eight is not the best record, but we didn’t play any slouches. We have a lot to build on and we know now where our guys have to do a little bit of work.” STAGG Also shown the sidelines in their initial playoff contest were the Chargers (3-13), who fell 8-1 to Marian Catholic last Monday. Peter Angelos’ fourth-inning homer ruined the Spartans’ shutout bid, but Stagg was able to garner only three other hits on the day. Compounding the Chargers’ problems were seven bases-on-balls issued to Marian batters. “They didn’t really hit the ball that hard, but we walked a lot of guys,” Stagg coach Matt O’Neill said. “And we didn’t really threaten a lot.” Despite his sub-par performance here, pitcher C.J. Casey did enough good things during the summer to be considered a strong candidate to fill the No. 3 position in the rotation behind Max Strus and Jeff Goral in 2014. O’Neill believes the Chargers will be decent enough on the mound, but he hopes to see further improvement in other areas. “Guys have got to continue to become better athletes,” he said. “We talk about ‘controllable things,’ and I think guys came and worked hard, but we’re stepping up in class next year. “You can get lessons on your own, or from us, but we talk about figuring things out on your own. You need to figure out for yourself what you’re doing wrong and how to correct it.” MARIST The RedHawks (6-8) were the first team to feel St. Rita’s wrath, as they got bounced from the tournament by an 11-1 score last Monday. Amazingly, the two clubs were locked in a scoreless duel after four stanzas, but then “the doors blew open,” according to Marist boss Tom Fabrizio. “I was proud of the way our kids battled and it was a real competitive game through five [innings], but it turned fast,” he said. “Once we got behind, it was like, ‘This game’s over.’ “I always expect us to play seven [solid] innings; we only played five, and look at what happened. You can lose by 10 if you don’t play hard for one inning.” Robert Hovey gave the RedHawks a respectable pitching effort through four-plus frames as he struck out four and scattered seven hits. Pat Meehan’s sacrifice fly that plated Mike Trbovic in the top of the fifth had Marist even at that juncture, but before the Mustangs could be retired in the bottom of the stanza they had grabbed a 5-1 lead. A hit batsman opened the inning, and St. Rita also stroked two RBI extra-base hits (double and triple) to fuel the surge. Six more runs in the sixth then finished off the RedHawks. Mustangs pitcher Nick Goldsmith quieted Marist on four hits while whiffing five. “You can get away with that with some teams, but not them,” Fabrizio said. “You’ve got to give yourself a chance.” That’s what Fabrizio believes the RedHawks will have in the spring of 2014, even though as many as six juniors could be part of the everyday lineup. “We won’t have a lot of depth, but I think we’re going to have a few good [pitching] arms and we have a chance to be OK,” Fabrizio said. “If we have our best players out there all the time, I think we’ll develop that consistency we need.”

Seven inexpensive ways to update a home now Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvements. While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fixups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out of personal preference instead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight. What many homeowners may not realize is that there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The following are seven projects that won’t break the bank. 1. Move around furniture. You may be able to change the look of a room without spending any money. Interior designers know how to arrange furniture for maximum appeal, but the average homeowner can do it, too. Find a focal point in the room and angle the furniture toward it. Don’t make the focal point the television, however. Try changing the placement of chairs and sofas. Simply moving a curio cabinet from one corner to another may also make a difference. 2. Add lighting. Lighting at different levels in the room can create a vibrant impact. Many homeowners mistakenly put in a couple of table lamps and think that will be adequate. However, properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times. Plus, more light can make a room feel more welcoming. 3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few aspects of a room can give it an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of color but don’t know what to do, think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright color also can incorporate a new hue without it being overwhelming.
4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look by focusing on the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outlets and light switches and think about selecting new ones that coordinate with your home decor. 5. Use plants. Empty corners or spots you’re not certain how to fill may benefit from a plant. Plants are inexpensive ways to add instant color and visual appeal to a room. Plus, having live plants can help improve indoor air by filtering out contaminants. A home with plants also feels more cozy. 6. Hang new wall art. It may be time to look at your photos and artwork and make a few adjustments. Finding new prints to hang could instantly change a room’s ambience. And you needn’t spend a lot of money on professional pho-
tography, either. Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in a landscape scenery. Many of today’s home printers can produce professionalquality prints in minutes. 7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted other avenues, choosing a new paint color may be the new look you desire. Painting is one of the least expensive yet most dramatic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that enable you to take snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint color, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colors for your home. When you get inspired to make improvements to the home but fear how much it may take out of your wallet, consider inexpensive tricks that can induce a big “wow” factor.

‘Young Guns’ ride strong after a quarter century by Jase Howell Twenty-five years ago, Billy the Kid and the Regulators hit the Silver Screen and made an enormous impact on the Western genre with “Young Guns.” The film, an enjoyable film but by no stretch a masterpiece — more of a guilty pleasure, actually — still has legions of fans, many of whom consider the 1988 action-packed depiction of the Lincoln County Wars to be one of the best shoot ’em up cowboy flicks of all time. Putting Emilio Estevez on the Mt. Rushmore of famous gunslingers along the likes of Clint Eastwood John Wayne and Gary Cooper may be a stretch, but the lasting popularity of the film a quarter of a century later certainly says something about a film that wasn’t expected to do much. Indeed, “Young Guns” barely made it to the big screen — in 1988 none of the major studios were interested in Westerns. In fact, for the entire decade of the ’80s you can scrape together maybe a handful of quality cowboy flicks. Cop-buddy films set in urban areas, with machine guns and massive explosions, ruled the theaters in the days of “Lethal Weapon” and “Die Hard,” and no one was looking to invest greatly in saloons and six-shooters. Yet, somehow, a paltry $13 million was shelled out by 20th Century Fox and Morgan Creek Productions for “Young Guns” (Morgan Creek’s first production). Dropped in the late summer — never a sign of confidence from a studio — the film many critics at the time referred to as the “Brat Pack Western” pulled in a surprising $45 million domestically. The Brat Pack stigma may have turned off some critics from the start, and certainly Western purists would never be quite won over; but “Young Guns” revived
the cowboy action flick by introducing and selling it to a brand new audience. “The Unforgiven” and “Dances with Wolves” are often credited with resuscitating the Old West on the Silver Screen, but “Young Guns” was actually clearing the road for those later films. The film takes place in 1878 New Mexico Territory, where a war to be the largest cattle baron is being waged between John Tunstall (Terence Stamp) and Lawrence Murphy (Jack Palance). Of course, this is not just cattle-ranching business, but animosity from across the pond between the Irishman Murphy and Englishman Tunstall. For his ranch hands, Tunstell has put together a pack of young misfits and runaways, whom he educates and cares for as a sort of father figure. The newcomer in early scenes is William H. Bonney (Emilio Estevez) the latest hoodlum to join the ranch, and the film wastes little time in showing his quickness with a pistol. We meet the rest of the crew: Richard “Dick” Brewer (Charlie Sheen) a self-appointed leader of the gang; Josiah Gordon “Doc” Scurlock, the only member to have an education before joining the Tunstall Ranch; and Jose Chavez y Chavez (Lou Diamond Philips), the dangerous knife smith and spiritual leader of the group. We also have Charles “Charley” Boudre (Casey Seimaszko), the pugilist, and Dirty Steve Stephens (Dermot Mulroney), whose moniker is self-explanatory. The rivalry between the ranchers continues to escalate until Murphy has his henchmen gun down Tunstall in front of his boys. The hot tempered young men are hell-bent on revenge, led by Bonney, who though being the newcomer either takes it the worst or is just looking for a
fight — the film suggests a bit of both. Tunstall’s good friend and lawyer, Alex O’Sween (Terry O’Quinn), reluctantly deputizes the gang and they boys are off and running. It isn’t long before the wrong people are killed and the gang is stripped of its badges and become the hunted. The plot, like many a great Western, is pretty simplistic and as often the case just predicated on pure old-fashioned revenge. With the hip young actors and slick look it may be easy to think the film goes over the top with embellishments, but it’s actually rather grounded in reality. Certainly the dialogue is much quicker and wittier than these chaps were likely to have been, and several scenes including a mescaline trip to the spirit world are most likely Fusco’s imagination, but most of the action was already in the history books. Director Christopher Cain did a solid job of capturing the New Mexico landscape, and excels in handling the gunplay. The veterans such as Stamp and the late Palance most likely needed little guidance, but the film was resting on the shoulders of the young cast, most of whom had already had some success but were looking to cement themselves major players. The actors here all deliver and that is the biggest reason “Young Guns” is still more than relevant 25 years later. The chemistry is there from start to finish and without it, all the shootouts in the world wouldn’t have elevated this film to the heights it achieved; after all, vengeance is the motive, but loyalty and friendship form the bedrock. The actors may not have solidified the success the wanted after the film became a hit, but for this film they were pretty much perfect as the Regulators. Siemaszko has the pugilist role down perfectly and manages to steal some laughs and prove his
grit when riding out with the gang after getting married. Siemaszko may have been seen little before the film and even less after, but his portrayal of Charley Boudre will live a long time. Mulroney doesn’t have much in Dirty Steve, mostly because the character is just not very bright, in a film with some unforgettable dialogue Mulroney sees very little. Mulroney is still very adept at just being there on screen, he landed a big role in 1993’s “My Best Friend’s Wedding” and he did parlay this in to much more than a lot of films and TV appearances. Charlie Sheen continues to be the most erratic actor in the history of film, strike that, he just may be the most erratic human being on the planet. Here in “Young Guns” he was the most restrained character, arguably his greatest stretch to date as a thespian. He somehow manages to keep getting roles — I don’t think his father and brother even understand it. Lou Diamond Philips was already riding a hot streak coming into “Young Guns” having starred in “Stand and Deliver” and “La
Bamba.” His star would fall at a rather quick pace after a succession of poor choices in scripts, but he still pops up occasionally to remind people he is still alive and looking for work. His last headlining role was for the forgotten horror film, “Bats.” Kiefer Sutherland was also riding high coming into “Guns” after attracting attention in “Stand By Me” and “The Lost Boys,” but he would have ups and downs in role choices but never really has left the A-list. His biggest role to date came courtesy of Fox’s “24” as Jack Bauer. Lastly, of course, is the biggest star of “Young Guns,” Emilio Estevez. Granted, this is an ensemble cast, but anyone who has seen “Young Guns” or its ill-advised sequel can attest there is no stopping Emilio when he is in Billy the Kid mode. As great as the performances are all around him, he still manages to stand a foot above the pack. Estevez, who at one time was a good actor, may have done his best work playing the Kid, at any rate he certainly seemed to have the most fun. The script had the snappy dialogue built in, but Estevez made it his
role with the trademark smirk and cackle.A scene in the film where he gets the drop on a bounty hunter looking for him is all you need to see of one the most entertaining cowboy characters to grace the screen. True to the actual William H. Bonney? Who cares? The Kid was an unstoppable force for the gang in the film. Estevez was the same on the screen. Western fans can always have entertaining debates on the baddest of the villains the quickest and deadliest of the heroes, and of course what rates as a truly great cowboy film. Considering what this young cast put together; a hit cowboy film when there wasn’t on to be found. A new generation that became enamored with Old West. “Young Guns” put a fresh look on the classics, but still reveled in themes of the greats, all the way down to the sentimental denoument involving the inscription of “Pals” on a tombstone that isn’t any cornier than a hero riding off into the sunset. “Young Guns” was the perfect cast at the perfect time. One of the greats? Definitely, but don’t hold out for any Lou Diamond Phillips sculptures.
