Orland Park green lights I-80 development Mayor optimistic, excited about possibilities By Dermot Connolly The Orland Park Village Board on Monday approved land-development code amendments designed to make marketing the regional mixed-used campus in the Interstate 80 corridor easier. After the meeting on Monday, Mayor Dan McLaughlin said the campus is prime real estate, so much so that neighboring Tinley Park and Mokena fought with Orland Park over the right to annex

it. But Orland Park won out. The regional mixed-use campus, roughly 234 acres, stretches from LaGrange Road west to 107th Avenue. Interstate 80 forms the southern boundary, and the northern boundary zigs and zags north of Orland Parkway. The St. Xavier University campus at 18230 S. Orland Parkway is one of the few developments currently located on the property, which is entirely within Will County, with its lower taxes, making the site more attractive to developers. A main goal of changing the land-development codes is to simplify the approval process for interested developers with plans that meet all the code requirements The changes were approved

unanimously and without much comment as part of the consent agenda, but the plans had been discussed at length several times at various committee meetings over the past year. The Plan Commission had already recommended approving the amendments at its Jan. 10 meeting, as did the Development Services, Planning and Engineering Committee on Jan. 16. At that meeting, Michael Kowski, assistant director of development services, explained that the goal is to create a “campus feel” through a network of public plazas and open space areas. Sidewalks and pathways are required to connect the street frontage to all front building entrances, parking areas,

plazas, and any other destination that generates pedestrian traffic. The vast majority of the district shall have no height limit, thereby encouraging more intense development appropriate next to an interstate. Fifteen-story buildings will be allowed close to I-80, while 10 stories will be allowed throughout the area. Kowski said that the Village Board and its committees will have the final say on any development, “It helps a lot, too, that the three families who own most of the property are on board with this,” McLaughlin said. “That doesn’t mean that we will always agree on what we want to go in there, but it makes it all possible.”

St. Laurence may help save Queen of Peace School surveying its alumni about going co-ed By Tim Hadac With the clock running down in what has been announced as Queen of Peace High School’s last year ever, a last-minute solution may possibly be coming from no further than next door. St. Laurence High School, Peace’s “brother” school located immediately west on 77th Street in Burbank, is quietly surveying thousands of its alumni and presenting four options relating to possible responses to Queen of Peace’s predicament: • Remain an all-boys school.

• Assist current Queen of Peace students, bringing in only current freshmen, sophomores and juniors from Queen of Peace, so that they can finish high school and graduate together. The girls would take their own classes, separate from the boys but in the St. Laurence building. • Implement a “hybrid” model that would bring in current freshmen, sophomores and juniors from Queen of Peace, who would finish their classes separately from boys in those grades; and at the same See SCHOOL, Page 2

Winterfest revelers get ready for some old-fashioned fun on a hayride.

Numbers low, spirits high at Winterfest in Palos Heights ‘No such thing as a bad day at Lake Katherine’ By Tim Hadac Two days after America’s most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter, a few people at the annual Winterfest at the Lake Katherine Nature Center & Botanic Gardens in Palos Heights agreed with his prognostication. “We almost didn’t come to Winterfest, if only because there’s no snow at all on the ground,” said Palos Heights resident Annie Keating, there with her son, Trevor, 7, and daughter, Ceci, 5. “I mean, a lot of the activities involve snow, right?” But the mom and little ones came anyway, spurred on by dry ground and what they thought would be unseasonably mild temperatures. “The temperature is not bad, but with this west wind whipping up, the cold is going right through our coats,” she added, as the trio retreated inside for some hot chocolate. Lake Katherine officials acknowledged that the day’s attendance—estimated at 365 adults and children—was probably lower than what they would have seen under ideal winter weather, but praised those who braved the windy chill. Some parents, like Willow Springs resident John Bataglia, tried to encourage their children to get in the spirit of the event. “Dance with the duckie, dear,” he said to his kindergartener daughter, Ashley, as he pointed at a tall costumed character dancing on a platform at the lakeshore. “That’s not a duck, Dad,” deadpanned his 10-yearold daughter, Sara, as she gestured at Waddles the Penguin, who was dancing along with a popular song. Frigid weather aside, those in attendance appeared to enjoy hayrides, marshmallow toasting, nature-related crafts, face-painting, live animals and a demonstration of an ice-rescue by the Palos Heights Fire Protection District. Many clustered inside the nature center to meet Sky, a red-tailed hawk from Pilcher Park Nature Center. They also heard information about the wildlife found at Lake Katherine, as well as how to find and treat water in the wilderness. “I don’t care what the weather is, there’s no such thing as a bad day at Lake Katherine,” said a smiling Andi Jensen of Orland Park, there with a neighbor and a few grandchildren. “My kids, and now my grandkids, are enjoying this little oasis. They come here for the fun, but I like that it’s

School

Continued from Page 1 time begin a transition toward becoming a fully co-ed school with next year’s freshmen class (which could include girls who tested at Queen of Peace this year and are still interested in attending St. Laurence). • Simply go co-ed, starting in the fall of this year. In its email to alumni—as well as others in the St. Laurence and Queen of Peace community—St. Laurence High School President Joseph Martinez, himself a 1999 graduate and Garfield Ridge resident, said the four options—not the only ones possible—were put together after top-level discussions with Queen of Peace administrators. Queen of Peace officials declined to comment on the survey this week, and Martinez offered a general statement that said, in part, “Result and response numbers are only being shared with our Board members right now, who will decide how information will be shared. The results of the survey will be a part of the Board’s decision. Our timeline is fluid — we want to do it in a timely manner to respect families from Queen of Peace, but we also need to give everyone’s input proper consideration.” “This is a delicate dance, and neither side wants to step on the other’s toes,” said one source who asked to remain unnamed. “The whole future of Queen of Peace will hinge on decisions made in the next couple of weeks. This is a sensitive time, a tense time, a make-it-or-break-it time.” Graduates of both schools, as well as mothers, fathers and even grandparents showed no such shy-

block of El Camino Real for a well-being check on Jan. 29. He said police knew she was wanted on an outstanding warrant issued Jan. 13 for failing to appear in court on a charge of criminal damage to property. When she answered the door, police arrested her. Rosinski said that while Vece was going through the booking process at the Orland Park police station, several gum wrappers containing cocaine fell out of her right sock. “It totaled about one gram,” the lieutenant said.

Since her arrest, Vece had been held in Cook County Jail until she appeared in court last week in Bridgeview. According to published reports, Cook County Judge Matthew Carmody released her on a $50,000 I-bond for the possession of a controlled substance charge, and a $10,000 I-bond for the misdemeanor property damage case. The judge also ordered random drug testing while Vece’s cases are pending. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 24, in Bridgeview.

POLICE BLOTTER: ORLAND PARK Two charged with DUI Orland Park police charged Palos Park resident Jennifer L. Henning, 23, with DUI, improper lane usage and disobeying a traffic control light after they curbed her SUV at 147th Street and LaGrange Road at 12:53 a.m. Jan. 19. The vehicle was towed and impounded, and Henning is scheduled to appear in court in Bridgeview on Feb. 24. Catherine A. Bradley, 55, of Orland Park, was charged with DUI and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident as police investigated a three-vehicle crash near 143rd Street and Southwest Highway at 9:14 p.m. Jan. 12. None of the motorists involved required medical treatment, police said. Bradley’s vehicle was towed and impounded, and she was due in court in Bridgeview on Jan. 31.

Drove on phone, police say Chicago resident Mariah L. Gray, 27, was charged with using an electronic communications device while operating a motor vehicle, no proof of insurance and driving on a suspended license

after police stopped her car in the 14800 block of South LaGrange Road at 12:41 p.m. Jan. 21. The vehicle was towed and impounded, and Gray is due in court in Bridgeview on March 2.

Two charged with credit card crime Chicago resident Kemetka T. Leftridge, 38, was charged with felony unlawful use of a credit card after he allegedly tried to use another person’s credit card to purchase eight tires—worth a total of $1,148—from a tire shop in the 9400 block of West 159th Street at 4:39 p.m. Jan. 17. Store employees told police that minutes after Leftridge used the card, they received a call from the credit card’s owner, who said he did not authorize the purchase. Leftridge’s minivan was towed and impounded, and he was due at a bond hearing the following day. Chicago resident Christopher N. Miller, 26, was charged with felony possession of a counterfeit credit card after he allegedly used an altered credit card to purchase $250 in gift cards and $54 for a

meal at a restaurant in the 15500 block of South LaGrange Road at 3:05 p.m. Jan. 18. Miller’s companion, 25-year-old Chicago resident Aston Sanson, was charged with obstructing identification after he allegedly gave a false name to police. He also was charged with violating parole relating to a fraud-related conviction, police said. The police report gave no indication of court dates for either man.

Charged with retail theft Chicago residents Gerardo Alcala Gutierrez, 23, and Maria Del Oseguera, 19, were charged with retail theft after they allegedly worked together to steal 10 men’s shirts, a jacket and a pair of jeans from a department store in Orland Square Mall at 2:12 p.m. Jan. 23. The total value of the merchandise was $567, store officials told police. Gutierrez was charged with a felony and was due at a bond hearing the following day. Del Oseguera was charged with a misdemeanor due to a lack of a criminal record, police said. The police report did not give a court date for her. Their car was towed from the mall and impounded.

Children dance with Waddles the Penguin last Saturday at the shore of Lake Katherine.

basically a big outdoor classroom for children to learn not just facts about nature, but larger lessons like the importance of conservation and being good stewards of the environment. Plus, it gets them off their keyboards and away from their screens—and that itself is a good thing.” With an admission price of $5 person, Winterfest was expected to raise a modest amount of funds for Lake Katherine’s children’s programs, ecological restoration and animal care. Lake Katherine is an 85-acre non-profit park that includes woodlands, prairie, wetlands, gardens and a 10-acre lake. An estimated 100,000 people come to the park each year to hike, jog, walk their dogs or simply enjoy the beauty of the gardens and the opportunities to see wildlife. The next major event at the site is Lake Katherine’s annual spring fishing fundraiser, set for 7 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 8. Anglers are invited to fish the entire shore for muskie, catfish, walleye and bass during the catch-and-release event. Tickets, priced at $100 each, include fishing, food and refreshments. More details will be announced in the weeks ahead in The Regional News.

ness about getting out on the dance floor, so to speak, as they registered their opinions on Facebook and other social media sites—as well as at local gathering spots. “As depressing as [the news of Peace’s shutdown] has been, for us to suddenly see a ray of hope coming from St. Laurence is like the clouds clearing and the sun shining through,” said Clearing resident Michelle Garcia, an aunt of a currently enrolled Peace girl. “My niece loves her school and is dreading going anywhere else. It’s a very stressful situation that we’re hoping St. Laurence erases with a simple decision.” Burbank resident Steve Fernandez, like many in the community, pointed to Marist High School, 4200 W. 115th St., as a model of how a Catholic high school can successfully transition from all-boys to co-educational. Marist made the change about 15 years ago and by all accounts has grown into a robust, financially stable high school. “Makes perfect sense to me,” he said over coffee at Mabenka Restaurant in Burbank. “If the Marist Brothers can open their doors to girls, the Christian Brothers [at St. Laurence] can do the same. It’s just a matter of will, I think.” St. Laurence alumnus Jeff Brzinskas, who grew up in West Lawn and today lives in Arizona, said he has been monitoring the situation from afar and shakes his head over the discussion. “Maybe I grew up in another time, but this seems like such a no-brainer to me,” he said. “Your sister school is in danger, you have the ability to step in and help— so why are we even having this conversation? I think the response from St. Laurence should be an immediate ‘Yes’ to wipe away the

stress from Peace girls and their parents. Figure out the details in the weeks ahead. “In the Viking fight song, we sing about upholding the honor of the black and gold,” he added. “Here is a chance of a lifetime for St. Laurence to put those words into action, a time to shine.” While Queen of Peace has faltered financially, St. Laurence has reversed years of decline and today shows a healthy fiscal outlook and a multi-year, upward trend in enrollment. To a limited degree, the schools have conducted co-educational activities over the years, most notably the inclusion of Peace girls in the St. Laurence band and rebranding it with Queen of Peace’s name.

DUI Roberto R. Corona, 31, of Oak Lawn, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol following a car crash at 9:28 p.m. Saturday, in the 7600 block of West 135th Street. Police said his car left the roadway and struck an electrical pole. He was also cited for driving too fast for conditions and driving without insurance. He is due in court on March 22. Daniel J. Russell, 25, of Alsip, was charged with DUI at 4:27 a.m. Sunday, in the 12100 block of South Ridgeland Avenue. Police said he was also cited for failure

Also on Monday, board members encouraged residents to discuss village finances with the mayor in the fourth Telephone Town Hall meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight (Thursday). Residents will also be able to get updates on other topics of interest during the hour-long phone meeting. They can ask questions or just stay on the line to listen. “We’re excited to host another telephone town hall and I hope residents will join us for a discussion on finances and many other topics important to Orland Park residents,” said the mayor. As will previous town halls, nearly 20,000 residents will receive automated, pre-recorded calls from the mayor to their landline telephones inviting them to remain on the line a few minutes before the start of the meeting. Those who do not receive the call or are without a landline can dial in toll-free at 7 p.m. to (877) 229-

Christine Kammer, 46, of Palos Heights, was charged with driving on a suspended license following a traffic stop at 12:02 p.m. Sunday, in the 13000 block of South Harlem Avenue. Police said she was also cited for speeding. She is due in court on Feb. 21. Michael R. Kopytek, 27, of Nottingham Park, was charged with driving on a suspended license following a traffic stop at 10:57 a.m. last Thursday, in the 12700

block of South Harlem Avenue. Police said he was also cited for driving without insurance and speeding. A few hours later, at 2:23 p.m., he was arrested by the same police officer in the 7600 block of 127th Street for again driving on a suspended license and without insurance. He is due in court on March 8. Michael L. Medders, 35, of Chicago, was charged with driving without a valid license at 12:35 a.m. Saturday, in the 13000 block of South Harlem Avenue. Police said he is due in court on March 22.

Jerling Junior High students capture 3rd place in National Science Bowl By Dermot Connolly

People of many faiths formed a human chain on the south edge of The Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview on Friday. They oppose President Trump’s ban on immigration from seven primarily Muslim nations.

Dozens from south suburbs show support for Muslim neighbors Rally at Bridgeview mosque opposes travel ban By Steve Metsch Representatives of various religious faiths gathered in the cold Friday afternoon outside The Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview, sharing support for their Muslim brethren and their opposition to President Donald Trump’s travel ban from certain Muslim nations. After a news conference, about 75 people formed what they called “a human chain” along 93rd Street, the south side of the mosque building, holding signs that read “We Support Our Muslim Neighbors.” Representatives of The Presbytery of Chicago, Oak Lawn Clergy and Religious Workers Association, Alianza America and Jewish Voice for Peace joined with members of The Mosque Foundation and Muslim American Society Chicago. Together they chanted slogans like “Love Casts Out Fear” during the rally held outside the mosque while Friday prayers were being said inside. Mosque board member Karen Danielson said religious groups “asked if they could come and show their support during our Friday prayer.” Trump’s travel ban “is dividing families,” said Danielson, who told of a girl, a senior at Stagg High School in Palos Hills, who just learned her father, living in Syria, has been told he can’t enter the United States and join his family after five years apart. “We thought our country represented (inclusion) and now we’re told by executive order that it doesn’t,” Danielson said. “This is not what America is about and

that’s why people are joining us today.” Judge James Robart has since ruled that the president’s ban on travel to the U.S. from seven primarily Muslim nations — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — has been temporarily rejected. The Trump administration has appealed that decision. Jane Workhoven, of Oak Forest, stood with friends from Pilgrim Faith Church in Oak Lawn. “My belief is we’re all children of God, no matter what we call God, and we all need to learn to live in peace. I don’t think the ban was a good idea. I don’t think it will keep out people (Trump) wants to keep out,” Workhoven said. Adam Malak, pastor of Faith United Presbyterian Church in Tinley Park, braved the cold “because we want to support not only our Muslim brothers and sisters, but other people who feel threatened by some of the recent activities and actions they’ve seen.” Michael Fekete, a deacon at St. Gerald Roman Catholic Church in Oak Lawn, called the travel ban “alarming.” “I can respect and value wanting to have secure borders and be free of terrorism, but the speed is alarming. And I think the Muslim faith has been targeted specifically in this case. We have seven countries that are banned but we don’t know if there’s going to be more, so there’s a lot of anxiety and stress amongst people here legally who are afraid to travel,” Fekete said. “I am here to show my support and my care for my neighbor,” he added. During the news conference,

eight men and women from various faiths and ethnicities voiced support for their Muslim neighbors. Included was Rabbi Michael Davis of Jewish Voice for Peace, who led the crowd in a chant of “We Shall Live in Peace Today” after talking about his daughter. “My 4-year-old gets it. At her preschool, she’s learning to plant seeds of kindness. She said ‘Someone should go to Donald Trump’s house and teach him how to be kind’,” Davis said. Danielson, who is also outreach director for the Muslim American Society, said “we are extremely grateful to our faith partners in Bridgeview, Oak Lawn and the surrounding area.” “We have to do what’s right. We have to stay united. We can’t falter. I’ve been over a dozen rallies now. We have to have a united voice against hate and these bans. We have to show the true way of America being great again,” Danielson said. Oscar Chacon, executive director of Alianza Americas, a Latino advocacy organization, said he was “very proud” to attend the rally, adding that Latinos and Muslims have much in common. “If there is one group that knows what it’s like to be demonized, to be hated, to be sent back to places we weren’t even born in, that’s us, people from Mexico and other Latin American countries. We are standing together with our brothers and sisters who happen to be Arabs or of the Muslim faith because in you we see us. And we want you to see yourself in us. There’s a lot of hate on a daily basis, but we are here to tell you we are interested in making this a moment we can make our adopted nation better,” Chacon said.

A team from Jerling Junior High School in Orland Park place third in the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s National Science Bowl regional competition held Saturday at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont. “I’ve been bringing teams to the Science Bowl for many years now, and I am always amazed by how much the students know,” said Judy Stellato, an honors science teacher at Jerling who serves as adviser and coach of the teams. Stellato said she held competitions among her students, using sample questions from past National Science Bowl competitions, in order to choose the five-member team. This year, team captain was eighth-grader Michael Trombetta, who has been competing on Science Bowl teams with Jerling since he was in sixth grade. “They were calling him the Michael Jordan of Science Bowl,” said Stellato. The other eighth-graders on the team included Abdel Hussein, Meagan Walsh and Joe Aguinaga. Micah Hladish was the only seventh-grader who qualified for the the team this year. “The kids work so hard at it. I think it is important that they have fun, and they did,” she said. “We were playing songs, ‘Eye of the Tiger,’” to stay loose,” she said, referring to the Survivor song that became the theme song of the Rocky III film. The nationwide academic competition tests students’ knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. Teams of four students and an alternate face-off in a fast-paced question-and-answer format, being tested on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, Earth and space science, physics, energy, and math. “The students only have a few seconds to answer questions. If a student gets a question right, they get a second question that they can confer with their teammates on,” she said. “Michael knows so much about nuclear science and nuclear energy. It is just an interest of his. When I hear them answering questions, I think ‘I wouldn’t know that.” “The fact that the competition takes place on site at Argonne is really great. The students get to

see the building, and some of the equipment,” she said. Last year, her team came in second, and in 2004, the team went to nationals. But third place is nothing to sneeze at. Jerling was the only school from the area that fielded a team this year. Winning second was Maple School in Northbrook, while the team from Daniel Wright Middle School in Lincolnshire won first,

Stellato said she had to inform Sandburg High School that the Jerling eighth-graders would be missing registration on Saturday to go to the Science Bowl. “But they understood how important this was,” she said.

Rauner cries for reform, then kills it It was 11.39 a.m. on Jan. 25, 2017, just 20 minutes before Governor Bruce Rauner was to deliver his “State of the State” address. The Senate floor was buzzing in anticipation of the speech, and the media was rustling. There was only one piece of legislation to vote on that morning, and it was important—Senate Bill 14, the long awaited Chicago Pension Reform measure. Senate Bill 14 (SB14) was agreed to by all the unions, by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and it had what appeared to be bi-partisan support. It was unprecedented and true reform. It calls for pension reductions, increased employee contributions, a Chicago hike in taxes to fund the pension, all of the elements of reform that have been demanded by everyone. Most importantly, it included all of the elements that the Governor has been demanding it include for months. SB14 passed out of the Senate Executive Committee, shepherded through by Senate President John Cullerton. Democrats and Republicans all joined to pass SB14 from committee. The bill arrived on the Senate Floor and no one rose to oppose it. Senate President Cullerton stood up to applaud the bi-partisan cooperation of Democrats and Republicans, citing the full support of all the unions and the city. Finally, cooperation on pension reform has resulted in an agreement and everything that the Chicago media has been hollering about and the governor has demanded. It was all there. Pension reform, finally, for all to see. But as soon as the vote to approve it was called, the true colors of Governor Rauner became visible. All the Democrats voted for the bill, along with only two brave Republicans. All of the other Republicans either refused to cast a vote or they voted No. So what happened? Where did all that love and cooperation for the upcoming “grand bargain” go? Not one Republican spoke against it, and yet 95 percent of the Republicans voted against it, because they were told to do so by Rauner. Word came down before the vote from the Governor’s Office on the second floor ordering “his” Republican Party to kill the bill. Kill the bill? Really? Apparently, when real reform is within grasp, it clearly doesn’t fit the governor’s narrative of a “do nothing” legislature. Perhaps the governor’s paranoid insecurities took shape and he saw the hand of House Speaker Michael Madigan in the Senate? Even more reason to kill the bill in Rauner’s mind. As it all goes that is typical hypocrisy, practiced at times by both sides. However, in less than 40 minutes after Rauner’s nonsense was displayed on the Senate floor, you could hear Governor Rauner cry out for “more cooperation” between both parties, and calling on “Republicans and Democrats” in the Senate to “work together.” That is right. Less than 40 minutes before the governor killed SB14, Republicans were praising it as “good pension reform” in an unusual show of cooperation. As one of them told me, “this isn’t a perfect bill, but it gets us 90 percent there. If all pension bills were this good, I would vote for all of them,” the Republican Senator said. If the Chicago media wasn’t in the pocket of the Governor and well-heeled business types, they might have reported it. But they did not. Rather than be objective, the news media wants controversy and has been fueling Rauner’s rejectionism to create “big headlines” of doom and gloom. That’s what the media sells. True pension reform was killed by Governor Rauner just so Rauner can continue his phony mantra that the news media parrots of “bad legislators” and “good governor.” Good pension reform made it out of the Senate, no thanks to the governor, and the news media was silent. Forty minutes later in his state of the state speech, the Governor extols the virtues of “cooperation” and he encouraged senators to work together. All I can say is, what a phony. If Speaker Madigan had done such a thing, so obvious and so hypocritical, the Chicago media would have howled for days about “Madigan Rule” and the ruinous condition of the state. Instead, the dishonest media had one of their own do the dirty work for them, and all I heard was the bleating of the sheep.

OPINION

The Regional News

STEVEN LANDEK

Steven Landek is the Senator from the 11th Illinois Senate District. He is also the Mayor of the Village of Bridgeview.

READERS WRITE We’ve misrepresented nothing As a resident of Palos Park in the area most directly affected by the developer’s application for a medical office building at 7831, 7835 and 7919 McCarthy Road, I feel it is necessary to respond to the front page article in the Feb. 2 issue of The Regional News. The article was remarkably one-sided and it appears some sort of lengthy interview was conducted with the developer. As a resident objector, I can state unequivocally that the developer’s statements are not only deeply offensive, but they are also factually incorrect. The developer has indicated that his proposed development has been “misrepresented by a handful of nearby residents” in an effort to generate opposition to it. As one of the “handful of nearby residents” to whom the developer is referring, you can bet we’ve worked very hard to generate opposition to this proposed development. However, we have never “misrepresented” his proposal....we have stated facts, the most important one being that the area the developer wishes to use for his office building is a residential area. As the developer well knows, in all of the Village’s plans, land use maps (current and future), and zoning maps, the developer’s proposed building site on McCarthy Road is zoned residential....past, present and future. The developer states that the proposed site is “ideal” for a two-story medical office building due to its proximity to Palos Hospital. Palos Hospital, with all of its recent renovations, has plenty of medical office space available. Additionally, there are currently many vacant medical offices on both Harlem Avenue

and College Drive. There is hardly a need for any additional medical office space in either Palos Park or Palos Heights, regardless of its proximity to the hospital. The developer’s argument to the residents’ objections regarding increased traffic in the area is that this site already attracts a lot of traffic and his building would “not be a problem.” On what basis is he making that argument? His flawed traffic study, done on one day during July when school was not in session, with no recognition of the bus traffic and a very limited traffic count? The developer has indicated that people are objecting to ambulances potentially going in and out of the facility as an issue. Where did he come up with that? No one has ever said a thing about ambulances....we all live near the hospital. We are very used to ambulance traffic. His ambulance argument has absolutely nothing to do with his proposed development and is nothing but a phony smokescreen to divert from the real issues. The developer has stated that his proposed development would generate $200,000 in annual taxes. Where is he getting that figure? If this property is allowed to be re-zoned to B2, any commercial development would be allowed in that location, so who is to say how much tax revenue would be generated, if any? What if the development, whatever it may ultimately be, is sold or rented to a non-profit organization? That would generate no taxes at all. Where is the developer’s proof of this tax revenue? Will my property taxes go down? I can say without hesitation that they will not. The developer’s constant talk of buffers, berms and allowing “some” trees to remain as an ar-

gument in support of his insistence that we “won’t even see the building” is ludicrous. How could we possibly miss a 40,000-plus square foot structure right in the middle of our neighborhood? As for his argument about the gas station at the corner of 80th Avenue and McCarthy Road bolstering his position, that gas station was built in the 1940s and annexed into the Village decades ago. Is that truly a serious rationale the developer is using to change our residential neighborhood to a commercial area? Again, as one of the most vocal of the “handful of nearby residents,” I can assure the developer that we are mobilized, organized and have been preparing for the developer to resubmit his application. We will never, ever back down in our fight against this development. Over 750 households in Palos Park and nearly 100 households in Palos Heights have signed petitions against this proposed rezoning. We have not misrepresented the developer’s proposal in the past nor will we do so in the future....we have stated the facts and will continue to do so. And the only fact that really matters is that we will work hard to protect our Palos Park residential community, with the continued support of hundreds of our generous, committed and steadfast neighbors....and that includes the “handful of nearby residents” with whom the developer seems so concerned. — Sue E. Parker, Palos Park

Insist that Trump protects environment We live on the most amazing, wonder-filled, life-sustaining planet. However, it is so easy to take it for granted; and in so

doing, to deny our responsibility to care for the natural world. This environmental responsibility is just one of the many issues in the current maelstrom of national protests, but it is hugely important as it concerns the very survival of our planet. President Trump proposes reducing environmental regulations on industries and he denies human responsibility for climate change, despite the fact that 97 percent of the world’s climate scientists tell us that human activities are contributing to the earth’s unnaturally-rapid temperature increases. I fear Mr. Trump will undo the great progress that has been made in the past 40 years. Our air and water are cleaner today. More public lands and more wildlife are protected. Environmental protection has become part of the fabric of this country. In order to avoid catastrophic damage to this earth, we need to continue strict environmental standards for industry, and we need to continue to move away from fossil fuels toward renewable sources of energy. I’ve spent much of my life teaching children and adults to appreciate nature and to care for our earth, but I’ve previously shied away from political confrontation. Now, however, I feel called to action. I believe President Trump has a moral obligation to lead the campaign to protect our environment. I write today to encourage my fellow citizens to contact President Trump. Tell him we insist that he pay attention to environmental protection and to the reality of climate change. We need him to become informed and to act on our behalf. We want to live in a clean, green, healthy world, and we need a president who helps make that happen. — Lois Lauer, Palos Heights

RAY HANANIA vived in the failed Apollo 13 as it approached a moon landing in April 1970. But those weren’t the only big events of 1967, 50 years ago. Fifty years ago, the Vietnam War was raging and LBJ, President Johnson, began a major escalation in troops that eventually surpassed 500,000 American soldiers. It was at about that time that the mainstream news media started to really cover the war with TV blasting shocking images not only of Americans being killed, but Americans also killing innocent Vietnamese civilians. LBJ had screamed at the head of CBS when Morley Safer broadcast the burning down of a small Vietnamese village months earlier, but that was just the beginning. Locally, it turned out to be a terrible year, too. April 21 started out as a beautiful, clear beginning to spring, but by late in the afternoon it quickly changed as tornadoes slammed into two regions of Illinois. One of the tornadoes hit

Belvidere in Boone County near the Wisconsin border. Only four minutes on the ground, it took the lives of 23 people, including 13 children. More than 500 people were injured in the devastation that nearly destroyed the small town and its school. Right about the same time, tornadoes started appearing northeast of Joliet and at around 4:45 p.m., one slammed into Oak Lawn digging a trench of destruction 16 miles long that damaged Hometown and Evergreen Park as the storm finally ended near Rainbow Beach along Chicago’s Lake Michigan banks. The tornado racing through the suburbs at 600 MPH took the lives of 33 people and injured more than 1,000 people. It destroyed 152 homes and damaged 900 more all the way to the lake. The south end and the east wall of Oak Lawn High school had been destroyed and the clocks in the school stopped at 5:26 p.m. The tornado threw cars stopped at a red light on Southwest Highway at 95th Street like toys, killing 16 people at that location. Many report that the tornado first touched down atop the single-screen Starlite Drive-In Theater at 6400 W. 95th St. The drive-in theater was devastated and although it was repaired, it ended up closing in 1979.

There were a lot of drive-ins at the time, including the Double Drive-In (2800 W. Columbus Ave.), the Bel-Aire Drive-In at 31st and Cicero, and the Sheridan Drive-In at 78th and Harlem. There was something fun about a drive-In movie. I’m thinking there’s still time to organize a memorial or commemoration. If you have memories of the 1967 tornado devastation, please share it by emailing me and I will try to run some of the letters. A few days later on April 25, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., led a protest against the Vietnam War, drawing criticism from many civil rights leaders who claimed his war opposition as drawing attention away from the civil rights movement. A year later, King was murdered. Many believe his anti-war activities fueled his assassin. King’s death sparked an increase in racial tensions. Realtors exploited those tensions by encouraging white flight from the city. I lived on the Southeast Side of Chicago during that flight and you can read about that story in an online book I authored called “Midnight Flight” at www. TheDailyHookah.com.

The Regional News

Service set for former longtime Regional columnist prolific, writing the columns for Palos Heights and Orland Park. Her weekly columns celebrated major and minor events in local residents’ lives. “Michael Pasquinelli was 10 years old Aug. 24 and marked the occasion with lunch as Shakey’s, followed by an afternoon of bowling,” a typical item began. Another week, readers learned of a family outing to a miniature golf course, “at which Mr. Harpold managed to beat all the kids.” On another occasion, she wrote about an ill-fated vacation: “The couple got as far as Amana, Iowa, when their car rebelled against the record-breaking high temperatures and succumbed to vapor lock.” During her tenure at The Re-

gional News, Hochberg also wrote most of the stories for the wedding page, carefully describing each bride’s bodice, each groom’s boutonniere and the colors of each carnation and rose. She reviewed the performances of the Palos Village Players and penned a variety of other feature articles. “Her column was always interesting and accurate, and she was well liked in the community,” said former Regional News Publisher Charles Richards. He also remembered her volunteer work for area groups, which included Palos Youth Baseball, Cub Scout Pack 3699 and various school organizations. Mrs. Hochberg grew up on Chicago’s West and North Sides, but she and her husband, Sid, moved

Dorencz; five grandchildren; a niece and two nephews; many great-nieces and great-nephews; and many great-great nieces and great-great nephews. Services were Feb. 2 from Becvar & Son Funeral Home to St. Bede the Venerable Church. Interment followed at Holy Sepulchre

Cemetery. Judith K. “Judy” Gremer (nee Stewart), 60, an Orland Park resident, died Feb. 2 at Palos Hospital. Mrs. Gremer was self-employed as the owner of the Holistic Happenings and Healing Center in

Tinley Park. Survivors include her husband, Robert D. “Bob” Gremer; brother, Gene Gremer; sister-in-law, Carolyn Balsis; brother-in-law, John Gremer; and many nieces and nephews. Services were Wednesday at Colonial Chapel in Orland Park.

By Adam Hochberg Long before Facebook, Twitter or Snapchat, Shirley Hochberg was Palos Heights’ “social media.” In the 1970s and 1980s, Hochberg was a columnist for The Regional News and its predecessor, The Palos Regional. Each week, she wrote about the milestones and achievements of the newspaper’s readers — birthdays, graduations, school honors, vacations and other “social news” of the day. Hochberg passed away last week at the age of 88. For the last 25 years, she had been living near Seattle, Wash. For decades, the social column was a fixture of The Regional. By the 1970s, it employed about

There they reared four sons, who attended Palos elementary schools and Sandburg High School. In the late 1980s, Shirley retired from writing and eventually moved to Mercer Island, Wash. to be closer to her grandchildren. She is survived by her four sons, Scott, Lee, Jeff and Adam; daughters-in-law, Victoria, Melissa and Heidi; and grandchildren,

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Ben’s Soft Pretzels is now open inside the Meijer store at 14169 S. Bell Road in Homer Glen.

Pretzel shop opens in Homer Glen A new kind of soft pretzel shop opened last month in the Meijer store in Homer Glen. Ben’s Soft Pretzels opened Jan. 18 inside the store at 14169 S. Bell Road. “We’re up front on the grocery side of the store,” said co-owner Lisa Brown, who lives in Orland Park. Brown owns the 950-squarefoot store with her neighbor Jim Alfini, his mother-in-law Arline Pearson, and her mother, Loma Hall. The group had been wanting to open their own business together and unanimously decided on Ben’s Soft Pretzels after Brown discovered them while at a flower show in northwest Indiana. “I couldn’t believe how great they were,” she said. “I had to have one every day I was there. “When I got home, I hoodwinked my neighbors into getting the franchise,” she said with a laugh. Ben’s Soft Pretzels is Amish and Dutch inspired. The pretzels are similar to shopping mall varieties but are nearly twice as big “and more delicious,” she said. The pretzels are hand-rolled using a special proprietary dough and topped with imported German salt. In addition to their signature jumbo pretzel, Brown said the bakery also offers pretzel bites called Buggy Bites, Pretzel Stix, all-beef Pretzel Dogs, and Pretzel Pockets with 11 different dipping sauces including cheese, mustard, marinara, and a variety of sweet options. “We also have four shake options,” she said, including parmesan, cinnamon and sugar, sour cream and onion and garlic, which can be shaken onto the pretzels. The shop also carries specialty sandwiches such as meatball, Italian and ham and cheese. Brown said the pretzels are great for noshing while walking around the store or for taking home. “They warm up really well,” she said. Brown said the staff is very friendly and interacts with the children who often stand outside the shop and watch as the pretzels are rolled and baked. “We have such a good spot,” she said. If business is good, Brown said there may be additional ventures for her group. “We might go mobile with a food truck in the future,” she said. “To take to festivals and events.” She also didn’t rule out a second bakery in the Meijer store that opened in Mokena on the same day the Meijer store opened in Homer Glen. Brown said there are other Ben’s locations in the Chicago area, including one in the Meijer in Flossmoor and another one in a Walmart in Forest Park. Brown said her location offers some daily specials including buy one, get one jumbo pretzels from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, double dip Wednesdays and Photo Bomb Thursdays.

BOB BONG Store hours are from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. For information, check out their Facebook page at Ben’s Soft Pretzels (HG).

Rainbow Cone sets March opening Original Rainbow Cone has announced that it will open for the season on Saturday, March 4, at its longtime location at 9233 S. Western Ave. in Chicago’s Beverly neighborhood. Original Rainbow Cone’s signature item is an ice cream cone piled high with five flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, Palmer house and pistachio ice cream, sliced into segments and topped off with orange sherbet.

Fifth Third Bank closes branches Cincinnati-based Fifth Third Bank closed seven of its Chicago-area locations in January, including branches in Calumet Park and on Chicago’s Southwest Side. The closings reduced the bank’s footprint in the Chicago-area to 149 branches, down from 172 just two years ago.

Justice Library closed for remodeling The Justice Public Library will be closed until at least Feb. 28 for remodeling. The library announced the work is the result of a construction grant from Secretary of State Jesse White, who also is the State Librarian. The grant money will be used to replace worn carpeting and program room furnishings. Also being replaced will be the circulation desk and patron computer tables with furniture that is less bulky and more user friendly.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

Try to overcome ‘roadblocks’ to a comfortable retirement

In your life, you will want to take many journeys. Some are physical — perhaps you’ll finally visit the French Riviera or the Caribbean. Others involve personal growth — one day, you’ll finally become fluent in that foreign language you’ve been studying. But of all the destinations you can identify, few will be as important as retirement — specifically, a comfortable retirement. And that’s why it’s so important to consider the “roadblocks” you might encounter on your road to the retirement lifestyle you’ve envisioned. Here are five of the most common obstacles: • Insufficient investments – Very few of us have ever reported investing “too much” for their retirement. But a great many people regret that they saved and invested too little. Don’t make that mistake. Contribute as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, and increase your contributions whenever your salary goes up. Even if you do participate in your retirement plan at work, you may also still be eligible to fund an IRA, so take advantage of that opportunity, too. And always look for other ways to cut expenses and direct this “found” money toward your retirement. • Underestimating your longevity – You can’t predict how long you’ll live, but you can make some reasonable guesses — and you might be surprised at your prospects. According to the Social Security Administration, men reaching age 65 today can expect to live, on average, until age 84.3, while women turning age 65 today can anticipate living, on average, until age 86.6. That’s a lot of years — and you’ll need to plan for them when you create long-term saving, investing and spending strategies. • Not establishing a suitable withdrawal rate – Once you are retired, you will likely need to start withdrawing money from your 401(k), IRA and other retirement accounts. It’s essential that you don’t withdraw too much each year — obviously, you don’t want to run the risk of outliving your

Jim Van Howe Edward Jones

resources. That’s why you need to establish an annual withdrawal rate that’s appropriate for your situation, incorporating variables such as your age, the value of your retirement accounts, your estimated lifestyle expenses, and so on. Calculating such a withdrawal rate can be challenging, so you may want to consult with a professional financial advisor. • Taking Social Security at the wrong time – You can start taking Social Security as early as age 62, but your checks will be bigger if you wait until your full retirement age, which will probably be 66 or 67, or when your payments “max out” at 70. You might not be able to afford to wait until then, but by postponing the date you begin taking withdrawals, you could help yourself considerably. • Ignoring inflation – It’s been low in recent years, but inflation hasn’t disappeared, and it could rise at exactly the wrong time — when you’re retired. That’s why you’ll want your portfolio to include some investments with the potential to outpace inflation, even during your retirement years. By being aware of these roadblocks, and taking steps to overcome them, you can help smooth your journey toward retirement — and once you get there, you may enjoy it more.

FASHION CHAT

The argument for a uniform

The philosopher Epictetus said, “Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly.” Recently, a friend was discussing his brother, a successful musician and highly functioning human being. According to my friend’s account, this brother of his notably resorts to wearing the same thing each day; a black V-neck tee, dark-washed fitted jeans, and black Doc Martin lace-up boots. This brother evaluated his life and found this outfit to be a perfectly suitable and unfluctuating fit. I found this completely inconceivable. I conducted some research to discover if there are more of this sub-species of human prone to voluntarily limiting their selection of what are clearly artful bodily adornments and opportunities for expression in my view. Apparently, there is a movement passionately gaining momentum. This so-called “capsule wardrobe movement” is gaining footing while fast fashion is increasingly facing the criticism that, according to BecomingMinimalist.com, it deserves. Perhaps it is the case that our culture is obsessed with the consumption of rapidly changing trends from the fashion industry and those that benefit therewith. Is not this movement rather extreme in its opposing reaction? Why would anyone (with unquestioned means) intentionally choose to wear the same ensemble every day? Writer for BecomingMinimalist.com, Joshua Becker, details several specific reasons for opting to streamline one’s closet by applying strict minimalist principles. The first few reasons, quite simply, are less time spent, less expense and fewer decisions required each day, leaving the focus available for “things that really matter.” Becker also claims that there is more peace and less stress in wearing the same outfit each day, resulting in fewer occasions of spending the whole day regretting that initial wardrobe decision. Becker sources director Christopher Nolan in his argument that the capsule wardrobe involves less wasted energy. As Nolan turns solely to black trousers and a dark, narrow-lapelled jacket over a blue dress shirt, Becker believes large wardrobes require more decision-making, “more maintenance, more organization, and more shuffling around.” Perhaps the more thought-provoking arguments from Becker are the stance that fewer choices provide for a higher likelihood that the wearer will look and feel better while always feeling put-together. The final reason is in response to New York Citybased writer Alice Gregory in her recent piece for

CAROLINE FOREMAN J. Crew magazine wherein she claims a uniform “insinuates the sort of sober priorities that ossify with age, as well as a deliberate past of editing and improving.” She went further to say, “This is the reason why characters in picture books never change their clothes: children — like adults, if they’d only admit it — crave continuity.” Compelling as some of these arguments are, I cannot negotiate the fact that this idyllic uniform of a capsule wardrobe-based existence does not grant room for each new day’s provocation of the expression of the individual’s daily artistic consciousness through the medium of thoughtful apparel. Too many of the negative sentiments that underpin the case for a minimalist capsule wardrobe depend simply on how well an individual shops, whether the purchase decisions are wise and suitable for their lifestyle, and how easily the individual expresses his or her self visually. The creation of a daily outfit need not be too time-consuming, but rather reactive and impulsive, while rooted in reason with a dose of logic. A varied wardrobe need not break the bank, nor be too mentally burdensome as to prevent proper and responsible decision-making functionality. I view the argument that a capsule wardrobe grants a state of ever put-togetherness as an argument simply for the lazy route that sidesteps the task of regularly cleaning out one’s closet so as to weed out the superfluous apparel clutter. In fact, this writer more or less sees the entire proposition as the lazy resolution to the need to dress oneself. While there are valid benefits wrought upon advocates of wearing the same thing day in and day out, there are incalculable rewards to those that value the daily opportunity to grace their bodies with the own art of clothing ensembles. Muse about these different ideologies and discover for yourself which route best suits you the next time you approach your closet.

CCL’s LAST TOURNAMENT

Correspondent

Major changes are coming to the Chicago Catholic League, especially in boys basketball. After a four-year run, this season’s ongoing CCL basketball tournament will be the last one. CCL basketball teams and other team sports will be realigned from a geographical model to a parity model in hopes of balancing competition and marketing the league. Both changes were voted on and approved by the 18 CCL athletic directors by a majority vote. Specifics of the realignment are still being discussed. Southwest Regional Publishing area schools that will be affected are Brother Rice, St. Laurence, St. Rita and Mt. Carmel. Here are some of the more pressing issues:

End of the conference tournament Area coaches and athletics directors spoke strongly in favor of wanting to keep the CCL tournament.

St. Mel or Marmion vs. Brother Rice, 1 p.m. St. Ignatius vs. St. Laurence, 2:30 p.m. Mt. Carmel vs. DePaul, 4 p.m. St. Rita vs. St. Joseph, 5:30 p.m.

St. Rita athletic director Mike Zunica, St. Laurence AD Tim Chandler and Mt. Carmel AD Dan LaCount said they voted in favor of keeping the tournament. While teams from most other conferences are playing through their conference a second time, CCL teams did so in a bracket format. “The finality of the state tournament is like boom, you lose and your season is over, so you have to make every possession matter,” Brother Rice coach Bobby Frasor said. The CCL tournament “gets you See CHANGES, Page 3

By Phil Arvia Brother Rice coach Bobby Frasor was a senior on the Crusaders’ 2005 team, their last — until Friday night — to win a Catholic League South title. Josh Niego, this year’s leading scorer and rebounder, was asked what he knew about that squad. “I know they shared it,” he said. Consider that the closest thing to smack talk in the aftermath of Brother Rice’s 55-45 win over Leo, with which the Crusaders (20-3) closed out a perfect 7-0 league season. Except that it wasn’t smack at all. It was Niego, who went over 1,000 points for his career in a 60-45 win Tuesday over St. Laurence, relaying yet another lesson taught by his coaches. “It still bothers coach today,” he said. “Winning outright was huge for the whole program.” Wearing the net he’d helped cut down minutes earlier around his neck, Niego said he was happiest for “everybody. … It’s the guys, the Brother Rice community, our relationship with

the coaches — it’s all about the coaching. They make us look good by putting us in the right places, and we make them look good by making shots.” In the win over Leo (17-6, 5-2), they did so, especially, early, and especially when Mike Shepski was shooting. Shepski, Brother Rice’s all-time leading 3-point shooter, went 4-for-4 from outside the arc in the first half, as the Crusaders stormed to a 32-19 lead. His sixth trey on the night — and 210th on his career — gave Rice a 48-28 lead at the outset of the fourth quarter. But Shepski, who finished with a game-high 24 points, wasn’t the only Crusaders sharpshooter. Jack O’Connor was 3-of-6 from 3-point range on his way to 11 points and Niego and Brendan Coghlan each added a trey as Rice finished 9-of15 (.600) from long distance. Overall, the Crusaders were 19-of-35 (.543) from the field for the game. Leo, which prefers a deliberate style and working the ball inside, wasn’t given many of those See RICE, Page 3

There will be a lot more as the weeks go by, but several area football standouts got the jump and inked letters of intent on Feb. 1. Not surprisingly, Brother Rice, St. Laurence and Marist — three teams that combined for a 26-9 record in 2016 — combined to have 20 athletes sign on the first day. The marquee player is Brother Rice wide receiver Ricky Smalling, the Regional/Reporter Player of the Year. He committed to Lovie Smith at Illinois. But there were plenty of others who enjoyed signing up with colleges big and small last week. Here is a list:

usually have problems with people who post anonymous stuff on the Internet. Come on, cowards, put your real name on it before you start attacking people. Your comments might still be stupid but at least you have the guts to put your name on it. But, like finding a pearl in a sewer, I found an anonymous poster who I agreed with. He made sense. Someone who goes by “Modern Day Coach” posted some wisdom on the Volleytalk after some posters JEFF VORVA website were grumbling about referees Making the and officials costing their kids Extra Point matches. I was so impressed with what MDC had to say that I am turning the rest of the column over to him (or her). Thanks Modern Day Coach, whoever you are: “In my early college coaching days I mistakenly decided that I was going to chew out an official after a postseason match that we lost and had myself and floor captain yellow carded in all, while placing partial blame for the lost match and seasons end on him. “He calmly looked at me, placed his hand on my back and said ‘son, did you play perfect-flawless matches your entire life? Have you ever watched film and wish you could have had substitution or a decision back?’ “I aggressively told him no, of course not, and yes that is just part of coaching! He proceeded with a simple smile and said ‘well neither do I, and when I see replays of matches sometimes I can’t help but cringe at a decision I made. But what I can tell you is that I will always keep order in my court, and I will never make a questionable call that I think could end a match.’ “From that day forward I have always remembered what he said to me. “While I am still guilty for occasionally getting on officials, my maturity and growth as a coach can be credited to this moments like this among others over the years as well. What I try to remind my players now is that of all the matches they will play in their life, less than 1 percent will have their outcome decided because of who is on the stand. “We talk about how many unforced errors they made, how many missed service zones, how many 1-option passes, or how many high freeballs to zone 6 happened in that match. I try to remind them to think of what they were doing during the duration of each set prior to the final outcome that put the official in a position to be receiving blame for their loss over a specific call or two. “By screaming at an official from the sidelines during the match, and then after, I was demonstrating to my players and parents that this behavior was acceptable and a clear representation of myself and the name on the jerseys we were donning. “It is easy to forget that as a leader we are the baseline and model for the behavior we exhibit while in public, that we are letting every single person in the gym know we feel it is OK to act like this. “When I read about all the complaints regarding refs from the kids that want to post on the boards, or parents complaining publicly, and even coaches blowing the top off at tournaments, and how inappropriate some of these teams are acting these days, I can’t help but think back to a coach I had in grade school telling us when we went to other schools to play them to ‘remember to whom you belong.’ “What he meant by this is sports is bigger than just you, while your name may be on the back of the jersey it doesn’t just belong to you, it came from your parents first. The name on the front belongs to the school that recruited you or the club that chooses you, and while you may think that you are responsible for yourself, you are also a representation of your family, school/club, and coach. “If you are going to selfishly make a fool of yourself, you are subsequently embarrassing countless others in connection with your actions and perhaps giving a crystal clear reason for someone else to want absolutely no connection with you at all.’’

nated the Hinsdale Central Regional on Saturday at Suburbanite Bowl in Westmont as Richards won with a 5,703 while Oak Lawn took second with a 5,228. Both teams advance to the Oak Lawn Sectional on Saturday at Palos Lanes in Palos Hills. Richards senior Alexandra Wozniak was the individual regional champion with a sixgame score of 1,344. Others scoring for the Bulldogs were Gina Bartkus (1,221), Payton Attig (1,211), Katie Strache, Caitlyn Solomon Mia Jones and Phoenix Lopez.

The seeds have been planted for postseason girls basketball. Regional action in the Illinois High School Association begins Monday in Class 3A and Class 4A and already started this week in Class 1A and 2A. Many of the area’s teams are at the Class 4A Shepard Sectional, where Marist drew the No. 2 seed behind Homewood-Flossmoor. Mother McAuley, which took third place in the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference Tournament on Saturday, picked up the fourth seed and will host the supersectional Feb. 27. Sandburg was seeded 10th, Richards 12th, Stagg 14th and Shepard

15th in the 20-team tournament. At the 22-team Class 4A Argo Sectional, Oak Lawn was seeded 15th.

First class produces first-class results By Jeff Vorva Sports Editor

The St. Xavier University women’s bowling team hasn’t started up yet, but coach Michael Kay’s first batch of recruits is already enjoying success. Kay announced that five high school senior bowlers signed up to SXU for its inaugural season in 201718 last week and they proceeded to all advance to sectional play for their high school teams on Saturday. The list includes Alexandra Wozniak of Richards, a three-time South Suburban all-conference selection, conference individual champion as a senior and a two-time state qualifier. “Alex is a solid player, who has had a tremendous senior season,” Kay said. “She earned a number of medals and winning her conference really stands out. We look forward to working with her and feel like she could be a consistent player for us as we start the program.” Oak Lawn’s Stephanie Gasca, a two time MVP on the Spartans, also is a part of the historic first class. “We were excited to sign Stephanie, because it is always important to have a good lefty on the roster,” said Kay. “She has improved year after year during her high school career, so if she keeps that trend going, she will have a very successful career here as a Cougar.” Others incoming recruits are Lockport’s Marissa Ramirez and Monica Colon and Streator’s Sydney Gill.

guard Quinn Niego (Brother Rice) scored 36 points and became the 40th player in Saint Xavier University men’s basketball history to reach the 1,000 career point milestone in guiding the Cougars to a 90-81 nonconference win over Indiana University-Northwest Saturday afternoon. Women’s basketball: Behind a team-high 26 points from junior guard Kara Krolicki (Mokena/Lincoln-Way East), and a 22-point effort by freshman guard Maddie Welter (Arlington Heights/Buffalo Grove) the No. 4 ranked Saint Xavier University women’s basketball team defeated No. 13 Indiana UniversityNorthwest, 113-88, in non-conference action Saturday.

Trinity Christian College Men’s basketball: TCC dropped an 88-65 decision to St. Francis despite Jordan Perry’s 19 points. Women’s basketball: The Trolls dropped a 103-76 decision to St. Francis, the No. 1 NAIA team in the nation. Celina Wanta scored 12 to lead the Trolls.

Moraine Valley Women’s basketball: The Cyclones, ranked 16th in the nation, beat Oakton, 99-44 on Jan. 31 as Michelle Borgen had 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Chicago and Soldier Field will be hosting the Major League Soccer All-Star Game on Aug. 2, leaving Bridgeview and Toyota Park with… Not much. As of late Monday afternoon, an opponent for the All-Stars hasn’t been named, but MLS Soccer Commissioner Don Garber said it will be a huge international opponent and Soldier Field was the logical choice for the venue. “It would make no sense for anybody to have an international opponent in a stadium that has 18,000 seats,’’ Garber said. “It’s not a game we could have played at Toyota Park.’’ Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and city officials and sponsors held a big bash at Soldier Field on Jan. 31 to announce the game. “Soccer is a global sport and Chicago is the ideal global city to host this important game,” Emanuel said. “This match will not just bring more world-class soccer to the city, it will help inspire future generations of soccer stars who are learning the game on playgrounds and fields in neighborhoods throughout the city of Chicago.” Toyota Park in Bridgeview, the home of the Chicago Fire, hosted the MLS All-Star game in 2006 but this year, it was not even a consideration even though the Sports Turf Managers Association named Toyota Park the finest professional soccer field in the nation for 2016. “If we were going to have a large international club, it was never a consideration to have it at Toyota Park,’’ Garber said. “And it would make no sense for us to do that. It would make no sense for the team we’re trying to bring in. It would make no sense for the Chicagoland market. “I want to make this crystal clear: We’re in the business of trying to grow the sport in our country and to make our teams

more popular. And if we can do that and bring in an international club to a 70,000-seat stadium, that has an enormous benefit for the Fire and for Toyota Park because it’s just going to create more excitement. The Fire is the promotor of this game. They are front and center. This is an opportunity for the Fire to be in the middle of something really big.’’ Fire officials said there could be an exhibition game hosted at Toyota Park around the time of the all-star game. There is some speculation that with the Fire opening up a training facility on the North Side of Chicago and this showcase being hosted at Solider Field, the league could want a change of venue for the Fire. “We’re always trying to think of ways to do things that will create excitement in all of our markets, so I’m not going to talk specifically about that,” Garber said. “I think this game is a way to achieve some celebration for this club and if there are other things we can do, we will work with the Fire to be able to do that.’’ Bridgeview officials said the team is in the midst of a 30-year deal that was inked in 2005.

in that mindset before the state tournament.” When Gary DeCesare started coaching at St. Rita in 200910, he was looking for a way to prepare for the state tournament other than just practices. League coaches bought in on the tournament idea, and he and Loyola Academy coach Tom Livatino ran the first tournament following the 2013-14 season before the CCL took it over. “The level of competition absolutely prepares them for the state tournament,” DeCesare said. “Everybody’s goal is to win a state title. This gives a Chicago Catholic League teams a chance to win a tournament, a championship.” In the tournament’s first three years, Fenwick in 2016 was the only regular-season champion from the CCL North or South to win it. “Teams that weren’t in the running for a conference championship at the end of the season still had something to work toward at that point,” Chandler said. “It was awesome for the kids and the program to have a couple upsets and create that buzz. It almost had that March Madness feeling.” The main opposition to the CCL tournament came from smaller schools. CCL teams in 1A or 2A start regionals one week before 3A and 4A, so they have almost no time off between the CCL tournament, which has a consolation bracket, and regionals. Other issues were logistics and travel. Some games sites were set while others were determined by wins and losses, which could be an issue at coed schools if girls basketball was hosting a regional. There was a noticed a lack of interest in weeknight and neutral-site games, especially in the consolation bracket, with schools spread out in the northern, western and southern suburbs. Zunica said there won’t be any CCL tournaments “in the near future.”

Conference realignment CCL basketball realignment is part of an ongoing process to make the conference more appealing through a parity model that groups teams based on success.

Rice

Continued from Page 1 looks from a packed-in Rice defense. The Lions went 3-of-11 from 3-point range and were led by Aamir Holmes’ 12 points. “Leo’s a good team,” Shepski said. “We knew we had to work the ball around every possession and get good shots. We did, and we’ve got so many good shooters.” After Leo opened the contest with a bucket for its only lead of the game and Rice answered with a Josh Boulanger put-back, Shepski hit his first trey from the top of the key to put the Crusaders in the lead for good. He closed the quarter with another from the same spot. “That’s a big thing for confidence and rhythm,” he said, “getting the first couple to go down.” Not that Shepski ever lacks for confidence. “He’s so explosive with the

The main factors in the parity model are conference records from the last two years, enrollment of male students instead of total enrollment since some schools are co-ed, and participation numbers in that sport to account for roster depth of larger schools, according to Providence Catholic athletic director Doug Ternik, who is on the CCL Parity Committee. “Teams want to join a league where they know they can have a chance to compete,” Zunica said. “If you have different conferences with parity where that team could envision themselves in one of those divisions and have the ability to compete, then that would be attractive. That is the entire goal: to always be attractive to somebody if we wanted to expand.” The realignment also evens out conferences. After Hales and Seton closed, the CCL South was left with eight teams and seven conference games, and the CCL North had 10 teams and nine conference games. The proposed basketball model will be two nine-team conferences. They’re expected to play eight division games and three crossovers since there won’t be a tournament. In the fall, soccer was the first to use a parity model, and boys volleyball will have a parity model this spring, although those were based more on an eye test than a scientific model. Baseball is expected to make the switch in spring 2018 and football in fall 2018. Other team sports will go to a parity model in the future. “It’s a great way to keep things fresh in the league, interest outside schools and make sure we remain the best conference in the state,” LaCount said. Teams good at basketball but bad at soccer may be in the top basketball conference and a lower soccer conference. Not all sports using the parity model will be limited to two conferences. Football is expected to be four. Parity model data will be rerun every two years to promote or relegate teams based on success. There’ll be an appeal process for school to appeal up or down a division, LaCount said. Basketball realignment changes will continue to be discussed. They need to be approved by the school presidents and are expected to become official in May. ball in his hands,” Frasor said. “We don’t really draw up plays for him. We live with a lot of his shots we wouldn’t let anybody else on the team take — I’m fine with that.” Too, Frasor will live with making room for another championship banner in the Rice rafters beside that of his ’05 squad’s. “This is better — this is so much fun,” Frasor said when asked to rank cutting down the nets as a player or watching his charges do so as a coach. “It’s fun seeing other guys have success. I want everyone in our program to enjoy helping others succeed.” From his playing days at North Carolina, Frasor took a motto from Tar Heels coach Roy Williams. “‘It’s amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit,’” Frasor said. “That’s what we believe, and that’s the way these guys play.”

SANDBURG 40, STAGG 36

Eagles fly high, even with Pygon grounded By Aaron FitzPatrick

Correpondent

Sandburg head coach Todd Allen gave members of the media a homework assignment last week. “I want you guys to research this: Is there a varsity team whose leading scorer, right now without Jake Pygon, is six points a game?” he asked. Allen posed the question last Thursday after his Eagles defeated SouthWest Suburban Blue and District 230 rival Stagg, 40-36, on the road. Allen said Pygon leads the Eagles in points, steals and assists. He’s about halfway through a four-week recovery period after having his left meniscus removed on Jan. 27. Allen said he hoped Pygon could return by the regionals in late February. Pygon was averaging only 8.2 points per game according to Allen before his injury, so the Eagles are already used to spreading the points around in their 13 wins after the Stagg victory. But when you find yourself down 14 points in the third period on your rival’s home court, the situation may seem more than a little hopeless. “We only had one day to prepare for them,” said Allen. “They’re a very tough team to prepare for with a lot of good stuff.” Stagg outscored the Eagles 13-2 in the second period and led by a dozen at the break. Despite the deficit, Allen felt pretty good about his team’s chances. “We were missing shots but I thought we were getting good looks,” he said. The Eagles missed all 11 of their 3-point attempts in the first half while Stagg connected on four of its first five from beyond the arc. The Eagles got some scoring production from five players and ended the last six minutes of the third period on an improbable 18-0 run and a 30-26 lead heading into the fourth. Midway through the run, Stagg’s leading scorer, John Mahoney (10 points), was fouled hard and let Sandburg

know it. Mahoney was whistled for a technical foul for overly expressing his dissatisfaction with the foul. Hussein Abourahma knocked down both free throws for the Eagles to cut the lead to 26-19 and rode a wave of momentum into the fourth period. “We’ll take them any way we can on the road,” Allen said about the technical foul. “We have a lot of respect for this team. We’ve had our battles before.” The last battle in December saw the Eagles give up a six-point lead with 30 seconds to play at home. Stagg ended up winning that one, 54-48, in overtime. “We felt like we let one get away at our place last time,” said Allen. “But I thought our kids did a tremendous job of doing what we asked them to do.”

The Eagles shot their way back into the game in the third with 3-pointers from leading-scorer Edmond Mila (13 points), Barlow Alleruzzo and Jack McNulty. They finished the comeback at the free-throw line in the fourth, shooting 6-of-8 from the charity stripe down the stretch. The defense held the Chargers to just 10 secondhalf points. It held high-scoring Charger guard John Contant to just eight points after allowing him to go off for 18 points in Decembe, including 15 in the final two minutes of regulation and overtime. “They did a fantastic job,” said Allen. “They battled their butts off. We could have very easily collapsed down 12 points to a good team. A lot of guys stepped up and kept their composure.”

Images from a surprise rivalry doubleheader By Jeff Vorva Sports Editor

It wasn’t scheduled like this. But it worked out perfectly for some fans. Brother Rice and Mother McAuley, two schools that are next door to each other in Chicago, took on rivals St. Laurence and Queen of

Mother McAuley hoops coach Ashley Luke-Clanton calls out some plays against Queen of Peace.

Peace, two teams that are next door to each other in Burbank, on Jan. 31. The Queen of Peace/McAuley game wasn’t on the regular schedule but it came about because both teams made it to the quarterfinals of the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference tournament. McAuley pulled off a 52-33 victory at home. Tara O’Malley scored 29 points for the Mighty Macs in what will

be the final game between these two teams, as Queen of Peace is scheduled to close after the school year. The game ended in enough time for fans to make the short trip to Brother Rice, where the Crusaders blew open a close Chicago Catholic League South game in the second half with a 60-45 victory. Josh Niego scored 17 points for the winners. Here are some photos from the night:

BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS event slate

The Center, 12700 Southwest Highway, Palos Park, is offering several events in the days ahead. For more information, or to register for a program, call (708) 361-3650. • “A Loving Labyrinth Journey” is set for 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 11. February is a month of cold and snow, but it is also the month of Valentine’s Day, a celebration of the warmth of love. All are welcome at The Center’s labyrinth to become aware of the obstacles sometimes placed in the path of receiving Love and to foster the intention that all can offer Love. Registration is necessary, as the event is weather-dependent. • “Family Service Sunday” begins at 10 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 12. Participants will gather indoors inside the Lodge on the west side of Southwest Highway for service. Hospitality will be shared, because Jesus always ate with his friends. • “Emerson Hill Night: Valentine’s Cabaret” begins at 5:30 p.m. Sunday Feb. 12. Cabaret artist Claudia Hommel returns to the Emerson Hill stage with her romantic songs from Paris and her sometimes zany antics and stories of “gay Paree,” to bring an evening of entertainment with pianist/vocalist Bob Moreen, accordionist Pat Spaeth and bassist Jim Cox. Cabaret is the fanciest night of the year at The Center, with linen-clad Cabaret dining tables set up around the stage in the Great Hall of the Lodge, and a five-course gourmet dinner prepared by Chef Michael and served by Don Shannon and his smiling wait staff. Dinner cost is $52 per person. Space is limited, and advance tickets are required. • “Valentine’s Day High Tea Luncheon” is set for noon to 2 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 14. This luncheon will feature some Valentine’s Day fun with a few songs and stories, and everyone will have a chance to make a Valentine card. Attendees are asked to wear red or pink and come prepared for a lovely high-tea style luncheon. The Center invites all to come with a short poem, story, or song about love or friendship to be part of the program. Luncheons cost $22, and reservations must be made in advance.

STARTING THIS WEEK:

“LOVING”: Also the subject of a documentary and a cable movie previously, an interracial marriage that saw the spouses take their civil-rights case to the Supreme Court gets sensitive treatment from writer-director Jeff Nichols and stars Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga in this fine drama. Virginia courts and law enforcement made life difficult for the couple in that state, ultimately prompting Richard and Mildred Loving to bring the matter to be

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Aspire to be inspired. Someone may challenge you to think things through and develop a plan of action. Answer the call when an opportunity knocks on your door this week rather than hiding behind the peephole. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It pays to remain patient. Don’t let past experiences stop you from doing things you want to do when the time is right. Once you have made up your mind in the week ahead nothing can block your path. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do your best to be your best. You may receive kudos for your leadership qualities in the week ahead. If you do what makes you happy you will excel. Your financial prospects will take a step in the right direction. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may find joy by joining in. Don’t be shy about accepting invitations in the week to come. Unusual ideas or exotic people can brighten a social event. To enhance your reputation remain true to financial commitments.

Wolfgang Puck

With a few minor adjustments, you can make a lighter version of one of the most popular Chinese-style dishes at Chinois on Main.

Renew your New Year’s resolution with a healthy chicken salad By Wolfgang Puck Since I first opened my “Asian fusion” restaurant, Chinois on Main, in Santa Monica, Calif., back in 1983, I have celebrated the Chinese New Year — which arrived this year last Saturday, January 28, and is generally observed for seven days. We’ve always held a big feast at Chinois, and this year (designated the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese Zodiac) has been no different. Yet, I sometimes detect a little hesitancy among some of the guests, and it usually centers on the theme of New Year’s resolutions. Their reasoning seems to go something along the lines of: “I’ve been doing so well eating healthy, and I don’t want to lose my momentum so soon by overeating with another big holiday meal.” I understand their reluctance to overdo it when faced with carb-laden noodles and crispy, deep-fried delicacies among the many dishes we serve. And yet, I always like to point out that the menu will probably feature so many lean options like steamed seafood, tender-crispy stir-fried vegetables and grilled poultry or meat. I also inform them that it is easy to adapt even traditionally rich Chinese dishes into more streamlined versions, especially if you pay special attention to include a variety of bright seasonings and contrasting textures to excite the palate. With that in mind, I’d like to mark the Year of the Rooster by sharing my recipe for a light version of one of the all-time most popular modern Chinese-style dishes at the restaurant: Chinois Chicken Salad. The salad becomes a model of healthiness simply by making a few minor adjustments. I cut the usual amount of oil in the dressing, and include both mustard powder and a touch of honey

to give it plenty of creamy body and a satisfyingly lively flavor. I eliminate the high-fat nuts and crispy noodles you might normally expect in such salads. And I add a variety of extra raw vegetables — which not only boost the nutritional value but also slow down the pace at which you eat the salad, enhancing the satisfaction it delivers with every bite. (You could add or substitute other vegetables you like, too, such as matchsticks of jicama or strips of red, orange or yellow bell pepper.) The result is a delightful dish that gets less than a third of its calories from fat. If you want to make it even more fun for your own Chinese New Year’s party, I suggest you look in a restaurant supply store or party store for little cardboard Chinese takeout boxes in which to serve the salad, complete with chopsticks for eating it right from the box. Here’s wishing you a happy, prosperous and healthy Year of the Rooster! LIGHT CHINOIS CHICKEN SALAD WITH CHINESE MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE Serves 4 as a main course, 8 as an appetizer For the Chinese mustard vinaigrette: • 1/4 cup (60 mL) rice vinegar • 2 tablespoons honey • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce • 2 teaspoons toasted Asianstyle sesame oil • 2 teaspoons dry Chinese or English mustard, such as Colman’s • Kosher salt • Freshly ground black pepper • 2 tablespoons peanut oil For the chicken salad: • 4 cups (1 L) shredded

• • • • •

cooked skinless chicken meat (from a leftover or store-bought roast or rotisserie chicken or other recipe) 4 cups (1 L) shredded Napa cabbage 2 cups (500 mL) shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce 1 cup (250 mL) julienned snow peas 1 cup (250 mL) shredded carrot 1/4 cup (60 mL) thinly sliced pickled sushi ginger, drained and cut into thin julienne strips

For the garnish: • 1 tablespoon black or white sesame seeds, or a blend • 1 scallion, trimmed and cut diagonally into thin slices First, prepare the Chinese mustard vinaigrette: In a blender or a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade, combine the rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, dry mustard, soy sauce, and a little salt and pepper. Blend or process until smooth. With the machine running, drizzle in the peanut oil to form a thick, smooth dressing. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Transfer the dressing to a bowl and set aside. For the chicken salad, in a large bowl, combine the chicken, cabbage, lettuce, snow peas, carrot and ginger. Toss with enough of the vinaigrette to coat all the ingredients thoroughly. If using white sesame seeds, toast them in a dry pan over low heat, stirring continuously, until they turn golden, about 1 minute; remove from the pan immediately. (If using black sesame seeds, use them straight from the container.) Mound the salad mixture on chilled serving plates. Scatter the sesame seeds and scallions over each portion and serve immediately.

VARIETY

How Mary Tyler Moore paved the way for complicated women on TV By Maureen Ryan If the only credit on the resume of Mary Tyler Moore, who died today, had been “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” that would still be enough to put her in the company of entertainment industry legends. The word “iconic” gets thrown around a lot, but that long-running show truly merited the word. It was a recognizable and reliably pleasurable workplace comedy, but “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” was also a lot of other things. It was a showcase for a cast of character actors who created one of the greatest ensembles in TV history; each character was memorable in his or her own right, and the performers found the complicated human beings underneath the tics, flaws, and insecurities of these messy, amusing people. Of course, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” was also a referendum of sorts on what a woman could be, on TV and in real life. Mary Richards was a career woman who remained single throughout the run of the show. Sex, death, birth control, adoption, infidelity, divorce — many of the issues that society wrestled with during that tumultuous decade — were all dealt with on the show, which also managed to spin off a trio of other programs (“Lou Grant,” “Phyllis,” and the mega-

hit “Rhoda”). That landmark show wasn’t Moore’s only claim to fame, of course. Her first notable accomplishment was playing the effervescent Laura Petrie on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” She not only held her own among a coterie of comedy legends, she filled out Laura’s personality with deft wit and intelligence. There were limits on the kind of woman that TV would feature in the early ‘60s: She usually had to be white, at least middle-class, thin, and impeccably dressed, and the odds of her having a job outside the home weren’t high. But thanks to the show’s exceptional writing — often experimental for its time — Laura was the kind of complicated, witty wife who remains a gold standard for TV spouses. The magical combination of Moore’s tremulous, energetic performance and the show’s sharp writing made Laura and her Capri pants unforgettable. But even if those landmark roles hadn’t hit as big as they did, Moore would still be a legend. In 1969, she and her thenhusband, Grant Tinker, founded MTM Enterprises, which went on to produce a roster of shows that helped define the television industry for the next two decades. Though Moore wasn’t a handson manager at the company, it reflected the humane worldview

present in so much of her work. MTM produced the kind of warmhearted, sharp, observant comedy that she excelled at, and TV would be so much poorer without the shows that the company put on the map, among them “The Bob Newhart Show,” “WKRP in Cincinnati,” and “St. Elsewhere.” It’s also worth noting that her performance as a brittle mother in “Ordinary People” allowed her to show a number of colors and modes less available to her in her TV work. But on the small screen, she routinely excelled and told stories that mattered. In 1978, when many people were still unwilling to say the word “cancer” out loud, she starred in “First, You Cry,” a TV movie about breast cancer. For those who care about women’s representation on TV, about publicizing matters that are important to women’s health, and about the importance of women occupying positions of authority behind the scenes in Hollywood, Moore’s loss is felt acutely. She had wealth, fame, and prominence, and she used those assets to create a body of work that she could be proud of. In less than a year, we’ve lost a number of TV legends who told stories on a warm, human scale: Garry Marshall and Grant Tinker predeceased Moore, and the shows these icons made had

a deep understanding of human foibles and a kind attitude toward an individual’s willingness to change and be vulnerable. But Moore’s shows had a special resonance for women. Whether women were navigating workplaces that could be — and still can be — scary and unsympathetic, whether women were dating or in relationships, Moore’s characters signaled that it was OK to be uncertain. Making mistakes wasn’t the end of the world on her shows; that was often the beginning of a good story or joke, and yet all different kinds of women were allowed to be resilient, decisive, idiosyncratic, and unpredictable on “The Mary Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times/TNS Tyler Moore Show.” Mary Tyler Moore accepts her Lifetime Achievement Screen Actors Guild One of my least-favorite phrasaward during the 18th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards show on Jan. es is “strong female character,” 29, 2012 at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, Calif. because it implies that the ideal kind of on-screen woman is some and her friends.

He tries to make up for mistakes he feels he committed during his Oval Office tenure, just as his wife (Sela Ward) is getting serious about her own rise to power. Appearances by some real-life politicians and journalists contribute to the saga’s authenticity. Skylar Astin (“Pitch Perfect”), Ernie Hudson, Callie Hernandez and Chris Lowell are among the other stars of the show, created by Joshua Michael Stern (“Swing Vote”). DVD extras: two “making-of” documentaries; outtakes. *** (Not rated: AS, P) “AMERICAN PASTORAL”: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Philip Roth (“Portnoy’s Complaint,” “Goodbye, Columbus”), this involving drama was directed by Ewan McGregor in his first time in that job. He also stars as a businessman celebrated — in what amounts to a prolonged flashback — for his accomplishments as a high-school athlete, with an ex-beauty-queen wife (Jennifer Connelly) and a daughter (Dakota Fanning) who becomes an antiwar activist.
