By Tim Hadac Staff Reporter Filled with faith in Jesus Christ and pastoring a vibrant, growing church is not something Ryan Hall—or probably anyone who knew him—would have predicted for his future, back when he was a scruffy Palos Hills kid attending Stagg High School. “I was a stoner--a longhaired, drug using, deceitful drummer in a heavy metal band,” he recalled in a conversation last Sunday morning before services at the new home of Harvest Bible Chapel, 6600 W. 127th St., Palos Heights. “I made trouble, I stole things.” Raised Roman Catholic, Hall attended religious education classes and received the sacraments at St. Patricia Church in Hickory Hills. “They did their job in giving me the facts, but my heart was not filled with faith,” Hall remembered about his boyhood. “I didn’t believe what I heard, so to me it was a joke. Even in high school, I viewed religion as a joke. God was a joke, Christians were a joke. “It wasn’t until I was a freshman at Moraine [Valley Community College] that I was struck to the heart with the reality that I was a sinful man who needs a savior,” he added. “I had known about Jesus, but I had not known what he

Former “Stoner” Ryan Hall (inset photo with his future wife, Lauren) is now the pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel. needed to do for me.” Shortly after he had found Jesus, Hall met his future wife, Lauren. “She grew up in Palos Heights,” he said. “As children, we had the same pediatrician, swam at the same pool, but we never actually met until college, when the bass player in my heavy metal Wax Illusions told her about me and got her phone number. He just knew her as a waitress at Country House Restaurant.” Though their first phone convesation went well and lasted a few hours, others may
have seen them as a bit of an odd couple. “She was raised in a nice, Dutch, Christian Reformed home,” Hall recalled. “She had attended Christian schools all her life and was going off to Calvin College in Michigan. “So in the middle of that, I show up at her door with long hair, wearing a Pink Floyd T-shirt. Let’s just say that her parents didn’t look at me and say, ‘That guy’s going to be our pastor one day,’” he chuckled. “But here we are, years later, and her parents—as well as mine—attend church here.”
He is more than their pastor. He is their son-in-law. Hall, 36, and Lauren are the picture of Middle America, married 14 years and living in Palos Heights with three children: Ellie, 12, Cassie, 10, and Jared, 7.

In recent years, the building has been home to Life Church of Chicagoland, and Harvest Bible Chapel moved in just before Easter this year.

Traffic accident near Quincy and drowning in a Michigan lake claim two area lives By Bob Rakow Staff Writer Two weekend tragedies within an hour and a half of each other claimed the lives of an Evergreen Park man and a Chicago Ridge woman and left a Chicago Ridge man seriously injured, according to police. The first accident occurred Sunday morning on U.S. Hwy. 24 in Camp Point, Ill., a small town outside of Quincy. Karin M. Kirchman, 53, of Chicago Ridge, was killed and her husband, Ronald L. Kirchman Jr., also 53, was seriously injured when the Harley-Davidson motorcycle on which they were riding was struck by a car that crossed into the path of the bike, police said. Karin Kirchman was a passenger on the motorcycle, driven by her husband, police said. The accident occurred shortly after 9 a.m. when a 76-year-old Camp Point woman driving a Chevrolet SUV ran off the road and crossed into the path of the motorcycle, according to the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. The woman was charged with improper lane use, according to reports. The Kirchman’s were transported to Blessing Hospital in Quincy where Karin Kirchman was pronounced dead at 10:08 a.m., according to the sheriff’s office. Ronald Kirchman remains in serious condition. The driver of the SUV was not seriously injured, police said. The accident remains under investigation. The second tragedy also occurred Sunday morning when an Evergreen Park man drowned while paddle boarding in a lake in
southwestern Michigan, according to reports. Vincent Churak, 67, reportedly fell off a paddleboard while on Donnell Lake in Cass County, Mich., at about 10:30 a.m., according to reports. Witnesses said Churak appeared to be struggling in the water and called for help. He went under the water by the time people trying to help were able to reach him in the lake, the report added. The Cass County Sheriff’s marine division and dive team responded.A dive team eventually found him in the water at 1 p.m., according to reports. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause of death. Cass County Undersheriff Richard Behnke said Churak drowned in a section of the lake that is 27feet deep. He maintained a house near the lake and was familiar with the water. Family members told authorities that Behnke is a former Naval officer. A life vest later was found on the board, he said. “Nobody saw exactly how he got off the board,” Behnke said. Churak’s nephew, Jason Murphy, told WNDU.com that Churak called Donnell Lake his “second home” and members of their group would go off in the water on their own. “Sometimes he’ll go out on a canoe or on a paddleboard,” Murphy said. “We don’t keep tabs on Vince. He did his own thing and and went under the radar. That’s why no one was worried when he was out for two hours because it was a frequent occurance. “We’re still waiting to see what happened and if it was a medical condition or what.”

Climbing up the charts, er, ladder Legendary disc jockey Dick Biondi, 83, was a guest celebrity at the second Battle in the Burbs event Sunday at Standard Bank Stadium in Crestwood. But before the softball action between area mayors and police/fire chiefs took place, Biondi decided to climb a 60-foot Crestwood Fire Department ladder, which was visible beyond the left field fence. Biondi said his father was a fireman, and the DJ said he always liked heights. He said he once sat on top of the Sears Tower. Meanwhile the game, which was a benefit for the Illinois Special Olympic, also had its share of highflying thrills as the chiefs beat the mayors for the second straight year, 19-8.

Revoked drunken driver flees, nabbed after crash, police say By Tim Hadac Staff Reporter A 53-year-old Worth man with a history of DUI arrests was charged with aggravated DUI by Palos Heights police after he fled from police attempting to pull him over, crashed his car and fled again on foot until he was apprehended in a strip mall at 135th and Ridgeland Avenue, police said. Donald L. Bizzotto was also charged with aggravated DUI with great bodily harm, aggravated fleeing and eluding, aggravated driving while license revoked, improper lane usage, operating a motor vehicle with no registration, no insurance, and disobeying a traffic signal. Police said they started following Bizzotto’s car at about 10:13 p.m. July 9 while it was headed south on Ridgeland Avenue, from College Drive. They said that Bizzotto was
Donald L. Bizzotto driving erratically and there was no rear license plate on the vehicle. Police attempted to curb his car, but Bizzotto abruptly turned west onto Westgate Valley Drive, where he made a quick u-turn and headed back south on Ridgeland, police said. At that point, police abandoned the chase, but then saw that Biz-
zotto’s vehicle became involved in a crash with two others at 135th Street, they said. He allegedly bailed out of his car and began running away northwest, through a strip mall parking lot, where he was stopped and taken into custody, according to the police report. Bond was set at $750,000, and Bizzotto is currently in the custody of the Cook County Department of Corrections. His next court date in Bridgeview is Aug. 4. According to published reports, Bizzotto has had his driver’s license revoked multiple times since the mid-1980s. In 1999, he was charged with aggravated DUI after he allegedly sped away from a Midlothian police officer and then slammed into a parked police car near 147th Street and Waverly Avenue, seriously injuring an officer sitting in that vehicle. At the time of that incident, Bizzotto was an Orland Park resident.
Teen fondles woman walking with children in Oak Lawn neighborhood A teenage boy allegedly grabbed a woman’s breasts July 11 while she walked through an Oak Lawn neighborhood with her children, police said. The 30 year-old Oak Lawn woman told police she was taking her children on a walk at 12:15 p.m. near 103rd Street and Austin Avenue when she saw a black teenage boy between 14
and 16 years walk past her, according to reports. She thought nothing of the boy, turned onto 103rd Street near Mason Avenue, when the teen approached her from behind and grabbed her breasts, police said. She asked why he grabbed her, and he responded, “Because I’m a guy.” The woman told him he had no right to touch her. According to
the report, the teen “gave her an attitude” and responded, “What did you say?” The woman walked away on Mason Avenue to return home. The teen followed her, hiding behind buildings. She eventually confronted him and said she would call police, causing him to run away, police said. —Bob Rakow
Chicago Ridge man charged with assault after scuffle with condo neighbor: police A Chicago Ridge man was charged with attempted criminal sexual assault last Friday after allegedly attacking a woman in a Chicago Ridge condominium complex where he also lives, police said. Rontez Robinson, 22, was arrested at his condominium unit at 3:45 a.m. shortly after police were dispatched to the victim’s unit in the 10300 block of Ridgeland Avenue, reports said. The 31-year-old victim was found on the floor and had several lacerations on her hand and
swelling to her face, police said. She was taken to Palos Community Hospital where she was treated and released, according to reports. She told police that she walked into her condominium and saw the offender standing by the front door with a knife in his hand. There was a brief scuffle before he ran out the front door, reports said. A neighbor allegedly heard screaming and saw Robinson, covered in blood, running away from the condo unit, police said.
Based on the description of the offender, police searched the area and viewed security camera videos from the nearby Chicago Ridge Metra station and a bar where Robinson allegedly was prior to the incident, they said. Police found Robinson at his home and brought him to the station for questioning, where he admitted to the charges, they said. Robinson was positively identified by the victim and the witness, according to reports. He appeared in court on Monday. —Bob Rakow
Accused drunken driver’s crash into the Plush Horse can’t dent next day’s trade By Tim Hadac Staff Reporter A 28-year-old Orland Park man was charged with DUI, dangerous driving and exceeding the legal blood alcohol level of .08 by three times after his car crashed into the Plush Horse ice cream parlor, 12301 S. 86th Ave., Palos Park, police said. A 1995 Mercury Marquis driven by John P. Kelsey was southbound on 86th Avenue, just south of McCarthy Road, at 11:06 p.m. last Saturday, when Kelsey lost control, hit two parked vehicles and then swerved east into the building, according to Palos Park police.
LEGAL NOTICE
The crash occurred about a half hour after the ice cream parlor closed for the evening. Employees were inside, cleaning up, and were not injured, police said. The building had extensive damage and the part of the building struck had to be boarded up, according to police. Kelsey was taken into custody pending a bond hearing. On Tuesday, a spokesman for the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office was not able to locate information on Kelsey’s next court appearance. Palos Park police used the incident to issue a stern reminder on their Facebook page. “Palos Park police remind drivers that drinking and driving don’t mix!” the post read. “If
John P. Kelsey this incident had happened two hours earlier, it would have been catastrophic.” Saturday night’s crash appeared to make no dent in the ice cream cravings of men, women and children in the area. Just 12 hours after the crash, hundreds of people turned out to celebrate National Ice Cream Day at the iconic treat shop, enjoying mild summer weather and face painting for children.

Hours of work result in seconds of film time Wait a second! And I literally mean a second. Or two. Is that it? Is that all there is? After all that? Really? Wow, what a waste of time. The Chicago Fire last week By released a proJeff Vorva motional video and it’s great. It’s about three minutes of a parody of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’’ called “Mike Magee’s Day Off” in which Fire star Mike Magee takes a day off from practice. Magee makes a living scoring goals and this shows that when he is through, he could go into acting. He has some comedic acting chops as proven in this video. The important message to the video is that life goes by too fast and if you don’t stop to catch a Fire game once in a while – you might miss it. The video is almost perfect. Except… On Good Friday, April 18, they shot a scene in the Toyota Park parking lot. It was mimicking the parade scene from the Bueller film. The Shepard band had the honor of participating. We ran a handful of photos from that day in the April 24 edition of the Reporter. If you get a chance, go back
and look at those photos again. You will see more of the Shepard band in them than you will in the video. For about two seconds, all you see of the Shepard band is some of the drummers hidden behind their drums and a very long view of the float where were you can see a few horn players. That’s it. Band members got up early in the morning and travelled from the Palos Heights school to Bridgeview and spent a few hours warming up and getting ready. I stuck around for a couple of hours in the late morning watching them shoot scenes over and over. It was a long and, at times, boring process even though just about every scene had people screaming and, cheering and singing during each take. I had enough pictures and left. I was told that it went on for a few more hours. After all that work and energy spent, all the Astros got out of it was a couple of seconds on the screen. Even in this modern day of technology, where you can freeze a scene on your phone, there is not much to see here. While I’m disappointed for the band members, I’m not ripping the production staff because this kind of stuff goes on all the time – and it’s even more multiplied with

Shepard’s band spent hours preparing for a promotional Chicago Fire video and while the video is excellent, the Astros received scant time in the finished product. a big Hollywood production. A lot of time and energy is completely wasted when scenes make it to the cutting-room floor and are never aired. It’s just a fact of life in the business and maybe it’s lucky the band even picked up the precious two seconds it received. Magee’s message is true that
life goes by too fast… …but not as fast as the Shepard band’s cameo in “Mike Magee’s Day Off.”
Not rooting for this beer
During a trip to Milwaukee last week, my son, T.J., and I stopped at a brand new A&W restaurant because he had a hankering for
some of the famous root beer on tap that the restaurant is known for. It’s smooth and tasty. We received our cold, frosty glasses and moved to where we thought the tap should be and… …there was no tap. The regular A&W root beer was mixed in with all the other fizzy pop at the machine. It used to be
an island unto itself. Special. Now it is mixed in with the other mopes. While the root beer itself wasn’t fizzy, it was relatively smooth but not smooth enough. It didn’t have the same taste. I don’t know if all of the restaurants are tapping out on the tap, but if they do, methinks they are making a big mistake.
Evergreen Mariano’s moves Palos Hills officials want to opening date to early 2015 take on mild marijuana cases By Bob Rakow Staff Writer Evergreen Park residents won’t be able to shop at Mariano’s during the 2014 holiday season, but the upscale grocery store is set to open early the following year. “They’re a couple of months behind,” Mayor Jim Sexton said Monday. The rough winter and some minor issues with ComEd have caused the store to push its projected opening date to January 2015, Sexton said. “That’s the target date,” he said. The Evergreen Park Village Board Monday amended the village’s economic development agreement with Mariano’s to reflect the change in the anticipated opening date. “We’re just pushing the date back,” Sexton said. Mariano’s will be located at 95th Street and Washtenaw Av-

Founded in 1988, Harvest Bible Chapel describes itself as “a non-charismatic, conservative, evangelical fellowship that welcomes all who know Jesus Christ as their Savior and all who are seeking Him.” Harvest Bible Chapel began an aggressive expansion in 2000. Initial plans called for the planting of 10 new churches in a decade, and by 2010, they had planted about 50 new churches, Hall said. The Palos Heights location was launched in 2009 in rented space in Palos Hills and has grown since.

two former village trustees coupled with complaints from residents likely led to the board’s decision to continue to fund the lieutenant positions. Former trustees Don Pratl and Juanita Babcock both spoke on the matter at the meeting. Babcock’s son is a member of the village’s fire department. Other residents who attended the meeting urged the board not to eliminate the lieutenant spots, citing their importance to the fire department, especially as shift leaders. Schmelzer said other residents emailed and called village officials to protest the proposal. “We always have faith in the public,” Schmelzer said. Village trustees last Tuesday also approved an intergovernmental agreement with Oak Lawn that calls on Oak Lawn Chief George Sheets to head the
enue on the site of the former Webb Chevrolet dealership, which closed more than five years ago. A traffic signal will be installed at 95th Street and Washtenaw Avenue to accommodate the traffic generated by the store. The 70,000-square-foot store will feature produce, seafood, a sushi and oyster bar, flowers, salads, a coffee shop, wood-fired pizza oven, homemade salsas, a bakery, a deli, fresh meat, a cheese counter and prepared foods. In Oak Lawn, Mariano’s is making steady progress on a store that will be anchor Stony Creek Promenade at 111th Street and Cicero Avenue. That store is scheduled to open in September and is currently hiring staff, said Oak Lawn Village Manager Larry Deetjen. Sexton said the presence of Mariano’s in a neighboring community might help promote the Evergreen Park location. “I think it’s good. Maybe it will
help,” the mayor said. The store’s decision to locate in Evergreen Park was announced in June 2013 and is the result of three years of work negotiations between Mariano’s CEO Bob Mariano and village officials. Mariano’s has locations in Chicago, the northwest suburbs and Frankfort. It is owned by Milwaukee-based Roundy’s Supermarkets, which operates four other supermarket chains in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
from other houses of worship, Hall offers a three-point response. “I can’t speak for other churches, but what we strive for is a commitment to discipleship,” he said. “Everyone who comes here is challenged to do three things. “First, worship Christ, because that’s where discipleship begins,” he began. “Some churches wait until later to push for that, but right up front, we say, ‘Hey, you start a new life when your relationship with Jesus Christ begins and you understand he’s God the Son who came down into the world to save you. If you’re a saved, rescued person, you worship the one who rescued you from heaven. “The second thing we ask is to walk with Christ,” he continued. “We challenge people not just to learn Bible facts, but to put feet to their faith and to do what they know. This is not just one Bible study after another.
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. “The third one is work for Christ,” Hall added. “We strive to get everyone plugged into a ministry team. In any given week, we have over 100 people serving somewhere to make church happen. So it’s not a handful of people doing all the work. It’s the birthright of every believer to use their spiritual gifts to do some work for Christ.” Hall concluded by saying that he doesn’t necessarily measure his success by the number of congregants. “It’s all about quality of discipleship, rather than quantity,” he said. “What good is it to have more people than you can train in discipleship? So we go for the quality, and we think if we focus on that, God will take care of the quantity.” Hall encourages people to visit harvestpalos.org to learn more about Harvest Bible Chapel, as well as stop by the church.
Chicago Ridge Fire Department. The agreement says Sheets will serve as Chicago Ridge chief through 2016 while maintaining his duties in Oak Lawn. Trustees Sally Durkin and Daniel Bandon voted against the agreement, which Oak Lawn officials unanimously approved July 8. Durkin said she opposed the agreement because it was put forth without board input. Tokar said he’s met with other mayors and fire protection district officials to discuss the village’s options for the future of the fire department. Schmelzer said he met with Sheets and anticipates a “good working relationship” with the man who has led the Oak Lawn Fire Department since 2009. “I’m optimistic,” he said. Sheets will dedicate about 15 hours a week to the Chicago Ridge Fire Department. His first task, he said, is to examine the department in an effort to improve services and cost efficiencies.
Sheets replaces Fire Chief Robert Muszynski, who resigned recently at the request of Mayor Chuck Tokar. Muszynski, who took over as chief in early 2011, supported the hiring of an additional seven or eight firefighters/paramedics who would be based at fire station at 107th Street and Lombard Avenue, Tokar said. But Tokar has said the village cannot absorb the costs of staffing a second station. That Lombard Avenue station currently is used for training and to store equipment, the mayor said. However, many residents have asked the village to consider having a second ambulance and possibility a fire truck at the station, which would reduce the response time to a large number of homes in the village. The village’s other fire station is located in the industrial park and is not located near some of the village’s residential areas.
Park Presentation The village will showcase for residents the 50-Acre Park, 91st Street and Rockwell Avenue, from 5-7 p.m. July 31. Residents are invited to tryout the park’s golf range at no charge, visit the dog park and get instruction on how to play disc golf. A disc jockey will entertain and Meijer’s will provide hot dogs and beverages, Sexton said.
By Kelly White Correspondent Palos Hills is considering taking mild marijuana cases into its own hands. Instead of sending arrestees to the circuit court, those offenders may soon be issued tickets. “Right now we’re making a lot of minor marijuana arrests on the streets, for small amounts of marijuana, I’m talking about less than an ounce,” Police Chief Paul Madigan said at last Thursday’s city council meeting. Madigan and Palos Hills City Attorney George Pappas believe these cases should be handled by giving the offender a p-ticket and sending them to p-ticket court, which are scheduled on Saturdays at city hall. A p-ticket generally includes parking violations within the city. Madigan said many communities surrounding the Palos Hills area are starting to handle mild marijuana cases differently by issuing p-tickets. The p-ticket approach involves not taking the person into custody, confiscating the narcotic, issuing them a ticket and sending them to appear before a judge at
the circuit court. Officials said paperwork and filing of these arrests takes officers off the city streets for a minimum of one hour per each arrest. With the p-ticket approach, offenders will instead be issued a citation and appear before a local government court. “The current approach takes our officers off the street and it takes them a couple of hours to process one of those arrests that eventually goes to the circuit court,” Madigan said, “As an alternative, we can issue a p-ticket on the street and this will also keep our officers out on patrol for longer periods of time.” Taking officers off the street for hours at a time is one reason why Pappas also favors the p-ticket approach. “I did look into it and the chief has some good reasons why this should be done,” Pappas said, “And, the major reason is that officers are spending one or two or sometimes even up to three hours processing these mild marijuana arrests that are usually dismissed.” Another benefit to the p-ticket approach is revenue from the p-
ticket and any fines associated with the violation would go directly to the city instead of the state. Such tickets would only be issued for small amounts of marijuana and larger amounts would be continued to be processed by arresting and sending the offender to the circuit court. Madigan questioned whether or not Palos Hills could pursue the p-ticket approach while not being a home-rule town. Pappas said he has researched the topic thoroughly and said the city changing the way it chooses to handle mild marijuana cases should not be an issue despite not being a homerule community. Home-rule involves the authority of a local government to prevent state government intervention with its operations. The extent of its power is subject to limitations prescribed by state constitutions and statutes. He plans to discuss with the city council at its next meeting, scheduled for Aug. 7, whether or not the city can handle mild marijuana cases with p-tickets. “It’s a win-win for us,” Madigan said.

Chiefs win the Battle in the Burbs again By Jeff Vorva Reporter Editor The game was closer this time but GunSmoke, a team made up of south suburban police and fire chiefs, beat the Big Hitters, a team made up of area mayors. GunSmoke beat the Hitters, 19-8 Sunday at Standard Bank Park in Crestwood. Last year, the cops and firemen won 26-12. The game, held in front of an estimated 800 fans, benefitted the Illinois Special Olympics. It featured an appearance from legendary disc jockey Dick Biondi, who climbed a 60-foot fire ladder before the event kicked off. The A Cappella from Mother McAuley High School sang the “Star Spangled Banner” and entertained the crowd after the third inning. The event raised $10,000.

Heroin meeting leads to rift between OFPD and village Chief Schofield pulls no punches about the drug problem in Orland
OP officials react angrily to the ‘misinformation’ from the fire department

keeping statistics. “What we found is that the overdoses in our area here were rising, and going up, and going up.” Armed with that data and with an assist from his sister, physical education teacher and coach Jane Caliendo, Schofield and the OFPD succeeded in getting their foot in the door at Sandburg High School, he said. “It’s been a long battle, but word finally got out” to local high school, he observed. But teachers there told him that bringing the anti-heroin message to high school students is most likely too late to have a significant impact, and that the message needs to be delivered to elementary school students as young as fourth and fifth grade. Sadly, he said, local public schools districts, as well as at least one Catholic school, have thus far all declined to accept OFPD presentations on heroin abuse. Role models To give the message more credibility for youths, OFPD brought in three young people—well known in the Orland area—to help drive home the point about the importance of avoiding drug abuse and other destructive choices.

It was a ‘skid row’ thing, a 50-year-old guy with a needle in his arm. “So people out here in Homer and Orland would ask in disbelief, ‘How can that be out here, in an affluent area?’ But it was, and it is,” he said. “We had such a hard time getting the word out,” Schofield recalled. “We tried getting into high schools and talk about heroin, and we basically got the door slammed in our face. “So we went to communities, and communities in 2010 were in denial,” he continued. “We heard, ‘There’s no heroin problem in the south suburbs.

Let’s not forget the Forgotten War The War of 1812 can be called the Forgotten War. Seeds of war were sown during Thomas Jefferson’s presidency when he attempted as a neutral nation to help France when war between Britain and France erupted. When British seamen began to desert to sign as American Merchant Marines, the British retaliated by stopping many American ships and removing sailors they said were British. They also began to seize American ships that were carrying supplies to France. (Although a neutral nation – we had to help France – because they helped us during the Revolutionary War.) President Jefferson finally convinced Congress to vote an embargo – which shut down all American ships from traveling to foreign ports. After fifteen months the embargo was deemed a failure and Jefferson asked Congress to repeal the Embargo Act. When James Madison became president in 1809, he soon attempted his own embargo which forbid trade with nations that were at war. Called the “NonInter-Course Act” it, too, was a failure. The “War Hawks” in Congress lead by Henry Clay of Kentucky wanted action. They even felt the conquest of Canada might be possible. In June 1812, President Madison (our shortest president at 5-foot-4 inches) asked Congress to declare war on Great Britain. The fledging nation was unprepared for war. Had we had rapid communications at this time the war need not have come. In Great Britain the day before the American Congress passed the war resolution, the British government repealed all orders for the seizure of American sailors and ships. By the time this information reached the U.S. the war was on and there was no
Stung by assertions made by Orland Fire Protection District (OFPD) officials about heroin abuse in the area, Orland Park officials reacted swiftly and strongly with assertions of their own. The bone of contention is a set of statements made by fire district officials at their presentation on July 15 about drug abuse and other poor choices in life. The event was held at OFPD headquarters, before an audience of about 100 parents and youths. The presentation was covered by The Regional News, which accurately chronicled what was asserted by officials, who said that children in and around Orland Park have been under a “terrorist attack” by the Taliban and others who are responsible for heroin being cheap and easily available in communities across America. Orland Fire officials also used the word “epidemic” when talking about drug use in school, both locally and nationally. They also criticized local school officials for declining their offer to bring their signature “In the Blink of An Eye” presentation to children as young as fourth grade—an assertion reportedly plainly by The Regional News. In a statement released to the press and posted on the village website (orlandpark.org) last Friday, Mayor Daniel McLaughlin criticized OFPD officials. “I have watched and read the news reports regarding the fire protection district’s public presentation on July 15th,” he said, “and was deeply concerned with the inaccurate and misleading account provided in their presentation. As public officials, we have a special responsibility to ensure that residents receive exact and correct information – especially when it comes to the safety of their children. Sadly, this was not the case here. The fire district portrayed our village and our police department as being unresponsive to this critical issue and nothing could be further from the truth.” The village statement also gave Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy an opportunity to weigh in. “I have to express my disappointment that the police department was never notified about this meeting nor were we asked to participate,” McCarthy said. “If we were, we would have corrected the misleading and erroneous in-
formation then and there.” Regarding reports that there is a drug epidemic in Orland’s elementary schools, McCarthy said, “I can assure parents and the community that this is not the case. To make an allegation like this is frankly careless and a disservice to parents and the entire community.” The chief touted his department’s efforts regarding substance abuse prevention. “The Orland Park Police Department has been very proactive for decades with sponsoring educational efforts to inform our children of the effects of drug use and to help them make the right choices as they go on to high school,” he asserted. “Every day, parents throughout this community ask themselves, ‘Are my kids going to be safe?’ ‘Will they fall victim to drug or alcohol abuse?’ That’s horrifying enough without it being fueled with inaccurate and misleading information provided by fire district officials,” McCarthy concluded. Dueling press releases Orland Fire Protection District officials fired back with a public statement of their own, which they posted at orlandfire.org. “The Orland Fire Prevention District is puzzled and surprised that Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin would criticize the Fire District for hosting a program to raise awareness among parents about drug and substance abuse in the suburban region,” the statement began. “The program…has been hosted annually for the past four years. It was widely publicized, showcasing student role models and parents whose children and families have experienced the tragedy of drugs and substance abuse.” The OFPD statement accused McLaughlin of implying that “there is no heroin or substance abuse problem in Orland Park or the immediate suburbs and contradicts public statements made only four weeks earlier by Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy. “We are deeply disappointed McLaughlin would issue his criticism without even contacting us to discuss the issue, or even attending the event which was widely publicized in the media,” OFPD President Jim Hickey said. Hickey said the information disseminated at the Fire District’s public meeting was accurate and correctly defined the threat of heroin and substance abuse as serious concerns that must be addressed by an educated community.
History Lesson

turning back. Now Britain would be fighting two wars and you would have thought the United States would have had some advantage. They did not. The army was small and the navy was not on par with the British. Early military operations of the United States failed dismally. Even though many Americans in the Northeast opposed the war Madison was still able to secure a second term in the November election. Early in the war, in an effort to conquer Canada, American troops defending Detroit were surrounded and had to surrender. The British navy was heavily engaged in the war with France which allowed American ships to win some battles against single British ships. On the Great Lakes America won the Battle of Lake Erie. Future president, General William Henry Harrison, won back territory lost early in the war. Another future president, General Andrew Jackson, won the last battle at New Orleans in January 1815. After the British defeated France they felt that America would soon surrender. They did not. On July 25, 1814 the bloodiest battle of the war was fought at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, near Niagara Falls, New York. British troops entered Washington on the night of August 24, 1814 burning many government buildings including the cream-yellow President’s House or Executive Mansion. (It was then painted white to cover the burn scars and has been forever known as the White House.) The British fleet then moved toward Baltimore, Maryland. It would have to capture Fort
McHenry before entering Baltimore. Francis Scott Key had been detained on board a British ship on September 13-14, 1814. At daybreak, upon seeing the American flag still flying over the fort, he penned the first draft of “The Star Spangled Banner.” (It was not officially adopted as our national anthem until 1931.) The flag measures 30 feet by 34 feet and is on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. (Seeing It is on my bucket list.) The “Second war for Independence” was fought from 1812 until early 1815. Peace talks had taken place throughout the war with commissioners meeting in the neutral city of Ghent, Belgium. The talks quickly became deadlocked, but finally late in 1814 the British realized that they could not have peace until they gave up the demand for territorial gains. The treaty was signed on December 24, 1814, but was not ratified by the U.S. until February 16, 1815.

Letters to the Editor Memories of the Medusa
Dear Editor: Thank you to Don C. White for the wonderful article on the S.S Medusa Challenger (June 26 edition of the Reporter). My parents, along with my brother and myself were fortunate enough to be guests of Medusa Cement back in the late 60s and we were treated to a trip aboard the Challenger. Our family business, Prairie Material Sales in Bridgeview was a customer of Medusa at the time. If I recall correctly, we traveled to a cement terminal north of Mackinaw Island, Mich. I vividly remember the captain waking us in the middle of the night to see the lights on the majestic bridge as we passed beneath it. For young kids in grammar school, it was a trip of a lifetime that we fondly recall today. Mr. White is quite correct when he speaks about the fantastic meals and first class guest quarters! The crew could not have been friendlier, as I am sure it was not often that they had young passengers aboard! They flew my family and myself home from Michigan on what was our first plane trip, so we could get to our first day of school on time that fall. Times may change, business may change, but great memories never fade. I would like to thank Mr. White again for taking me for a trip down memory lane. Kim Oremus Hanson Palos Hills
McAuley principals: a line of distinction
Dear Editor: A feature story in The Regional [and The Reporter Newspaper on July 10] correctly noted that the board of directors of Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School promoted their vice principal, Eileen Boyce, 29, to the position of Principal. The age of the new appointee was the focus of the piece. The article begins: “OK, let’s get this out of the way.� OK let’s do that, but he doesn’t. Eileen Boyce is well qualified for the position: educated, attractive, chosen by the board members, and well aware of the challenges ahead. She will have a fresh perspective, techniques and ideas during her term of leadership. She must continue the vision of Mother Catherine McAuley, as
well as the legend of the firm foundation laid and developed for 60 years by the religious. [The Reporter editor] Jeff Vorva acknowledges Catholic school Principals breaking “knuckles� is a tiresome cliche and use rulers for their intended purposes. However, a real story is Catherine McAuley, founder of the Mercy Order, born in 1778 in Ireland at a time when women and children were chattels. She saw the education of women as a serious purpose for social change. Catherine was convinced that Almighty God required her to make some lasting efforts in the relief of the suffering and give the underprivileged a chance to a good education. As a result today McAuley High School’s mission statement contains : “Prepare students to live in a complex, dynamic society by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively, respond compassionately to the needs of their community and assume roles of Christian leadership�. Vorva comments about principals in the past as “ancient and cranky.� I am a retired teacher of 25 years at McAuley and no insult could be more contrived and untenable. My superiors were educated, affable, properly gowned, oriented to current times, masters of education and administration. Some will remember Sister Inviolata (Catherine Gallagher) the first long-time Principal; Cathleen Cahill, Corinne Raven, Rose Wiorek. Sister Brian Costello Principal in the 1970s was appointed Director of Catholic Schools for the Archdiocese of Chicago and later Chief of Staff to Cardinal Bernardin, the first and only woman to be chosen to do so. This is a tremendous mantel for Miss Boyce and all those before her wish her the best. Susan Lang Palos Park Editor’s Note: Vorva never wrote that anyone at McAuley used rulers to break knuckles or that past principals at Mother McAuley were “ancient and cranky.� The actual paragraph of the story said “There are likely still some people out there who think an all-Catholic girls school principal should be ancient and cranky and ready to break knuckles with rulers. There are some people out there who realize that men and women of various ages can handle the job of principal quite well.�
Some straight talk from a ‘crooked’ guy I know a guy who, unfortunately, developed a growth on the side of his face. I always thought he made the best of it despite the fact that the people stared at him constantly. On one occasion, he told me, he was browsing in a bookstore when someone asked, “Are you a palsy?� I recall us laughing about the absurdity of the remark. Sometimes you need to rely on humor to cope with the cruel things people are capable of saying. Apparently, those who make hurtful remarks do not possess in their brains the filter that stops most others from making such insensitive commentary. I have a nephew who has a large, red birthmark on the side of his neck. It’s fairly noticeable, and he took a fair share of grief for it during his childhood. It looks like a scar or a burn and people asked him endless questions about it. As he’s gotten older, he’s learned how to respond to these ignorant folks and their queries. In fact, he told me recently that he has developed several stock answers—exposure to nuclear fallout, skin-eating disease—the kind of crazy stuff that leaves the other person with no response and feeling a little stupid.
I know someone who has prosthetic legs and another with a prosthetic arm. Never would I consider asking why they were missing a limb. Another man I know wears braces inside his shoes because he has flat feet. He volunteered that information. I never asked, “Hey, what’s with those things on your feet?� I’ll turn 50 in October, and, for the most part, have enjoyed good health. My shoulder hurts most days from a long-ago car accident; I wear reading glasses, am not in the best physical condition and have high blood pressure. Other than that, well, things could be a lot worse. I’ve twice used this column space to write about friends who have passed away. But there is one nagging ailment I’ve dealt with for many years: high arches. I forget the exact medical explanation for how they became so high, but it really doesn’t matter. What matters is, the condition makes it tough for me to stand for long periods of time, and walking long distances is no picnic either. If I had an ounce of sense, I’d see a podiatrist or at least go to an athletic shoe store that develops specialized shoes and arch supports. In the meantime, I buy the best athletic shoes I can find, but the soles wear out unevenly
The B-Side by Bob Rakow because I tend to walk on the outside of my feet. I’m not preoccupied with what I consider a minor malady. But what truly bothers me are the nasty remarks I’ve heard from others over the years about a condition that is out of my hands. For example, I recently was told that I “walk crooked.� Wow. An adult told me that in a very matter-of-fact way. I was shocked. It wasn’t the first time someone has made such a remark, but it was the first time in a long time. The comment stuck with me for awhile. I thought about why any reasonable adult would make a derogatory remark about another person’s shortcoming or disability. And, there wasn’t that moment that sometimes follows the offensive salvo when the individual realizes he’s gone over the line and attempts to apologize. No, I walk crooked. Statement of fact. Enough said. I’ve heard remarks about the way I put one foot in front of the other for years. I was a substitute teacher in a middle school for a time. Once,
while walking down the hall, I could sense a boy walking behind me, mimicking my gait. I turned around and asked what he was doing. “Walking,� he said, with a sheepish look on his face. I wasn’t upset because he was 12 years old. Mimicking and mocking is what kids do. As adults, we teach them that such behavior isn’t appropriate. Some get the message, apparently some do not. Once I had a job that required attending big trade shows. Lots of walking required. One of my colleagues, who worked in a different office and did not know me well, asked yet another colleague if I had been injured in Vietnam. I was 35 years old at the time, a bit young to be a Nam vet. It was tough to be offended by such an absurd comment. On another occasion, however, I was described as “Jell-O legs� by a man who helped lead a church youth group in which I participated. A fine example he set. A true leader. This was about 35 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. Funny how that works. The mean remarks, the thoughtless things that didn’t have to be said can stay with you a very long time. Too bad the people who take the shots don’t know that.
Inside the First Amendment
Remembering a man who championed freedom  By Gene Policinski Freedom of Speech has lost one of its most eloquent voices. John Seigenthaler, 86, led The Tennessean newspaper in his hometown of Nashville, Tenn., was the first editorial director of USA Today, and was the founder of the Newseum Institute’s First Amendment Center. Seigenthaler died July 11 after being hospitalized briefly. More than 4,000 people lined up for the visitation at the First Amendment Center on July 13, and his funeral was conducted on July 14. During John’s 40-plus year tenure as a journalist, he more than lived up to the old charge of that profession to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.� Even in his later years, when he left daily newspaper work for his beloved First Amendment Center, his voice and his passion for justice raged on. Whether it was lobbying for long-delayed college diplomas for now-aged former students denied graduation because of their civil rights work, or parole and then freedom, rather than the death penalty, for a woman he felt was
unjustly sentenced – he worked, advised, strategized and inspired others to demand fairness and action. He helped integrate Nashville churches by assigning a black reporter for the first time to do The Tennessean’s weekly report on Sunday sermons – just one of the many ways he took a larger-than-life role as editor in opposing bigotry, and pursuing claims of corruption, cheating, and back-room dealing in local and state government.  History notes that Seigenthaler was knocked unconscious in Montgomery, Ala., while attempting to rescue two Freedom Riders from a Klan-led mob, while serving as a personal representative of President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. Rising high above him on the wall behind his desk chair is a large, faux copy of a painting of the signing by the nation’s founders of the Declaration of Independence, framed and presented by his Center colleagues. Visitors often did a double take when they realized the historically incorrect painting had one more inconsistency – John’s face had
been artfully painted-in where the painting portrayed Thomas Jefferson. As he entered his 80s, Seigenthaler joked that he felt old enough to have been around for the signing. But age was not that kind of barrier to Seigenthaler, known for having several projects in the air at one time – and for a meeting and travel schedule that would exhaust those half his age. Whether debating the finer points of First Amendment law or relishing in the ins and outs of Nashville political life or researching books or preparing for TV programs, Seigenthaler was the embodiment of the concept that supports the First Amendment: The “marketplace of ideas.� John Seigenthaler lived a life dedicated to encouraging the greatest possible number of his fellow citizens to participate in that marketplace and to using their First Amendment freedoms to the fullest. Each year, he’d review the results of the annual State of the First Amendment national survey, showing that most Americans can’t name all five freedoms in the First Amendment – and redouble his efforts to raise the score.
Just recently, Nashville named a downtown walking bridge across the Cumberland River in Seigenthaler’s name – to recognize his work in seeking equality for all, but also to note an incident in which 50 years ago as a young reporter he grasped the clothing of a man attempting to jump from the bridge railing – holding him until police rushed up to assist. No doubt many words will be spoken of John’s many roles as editor, publisher, founder, author, TV host, lecturer, educator and more. But I think he’d be very happy if we remembered him with just five: Religion. Press. Speech. Assembly. Petition. And while the customary end for a news story was the proofreader’s mark “-30-â€?‌ I think the more appropriate one for John is (based on the number of words in his beloved First Amendment) is this: “-45-â€?  Gene Policinski is chief operating officer of the Newseum Institute and senior vice president of the Institute’s First Amendment Center.

Back-to-school tips from LCM It feels like summer break just started, but school will be here before we know it. As the school year approaches and parents are scheduling school physicals, it’s a good time to start thinking about how to keep kids healthy throughout the school year. Little Company of Mary Family Medicine Physician Dr. Jawwad Hussain gathered his best tips and advice for keeping kids healthy throughout the school year. 1. Healthy Lunches: Have the kids take part in packing their lunches. Numerous experts say that the key is to respect your child’s eating style and preferences. Get your child to choose and prepare their lunches to pique their interest in the meal. This way you can teach your children proper portion sizing and healthy choices of produce, protein, and fiber. Try to make it a fun activity. The most nutritious lunches include foods from at least three food groups. The website www.ChooseMyPlate. gov is a great resource for parents to explore for healthy food choices. Physicians can also refer you to a dietician/nutritionist for more formal education as well. 2. Sleep: Get 8-10 hours. School age children should get between 8-10 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night. To help
accomplish this, it is important that parents develop bedtime rituals, maintain a distraction free sleep environment, establish consistent awakening times, and avoid caffeinated drinks. 3. Vaccines: Get the flu vaccine. Everyone above age six months of age should get the flu vaccine even if they are healthy. This helps decrease the spread of the flu virus. The flu vaccine is especially important in certain population groups who are at higher risk for complications from the flu virus. These populations include: • Children ages six monthsfour years • Adults older than 50 • Immuno-suppressed individuals/household contacts • Those with chronic lung, heart, liver, or blood disorders • Pregnant women • Health care personnel/nursing home residents • Household contacts/caregivers of children younger than five years old or adults older than 50 4. Help avoid spreading germs by washing hands. Make sure you reinforce hand washing! It is very important for parents to emphasize simple hand hygiene including washing hands after sneezing and before and after eating. Parents
should also demonstrate proper hand washing techniques. These include: • Wetting your hands. • Apply soap and lather so that it covers the entire hand. • Scrub for at least 20 seconds—have them sing the ABCs. • Rinse and dry with towel. 5. When should you keep your child home sick from school? Use discretion. This is indeed a difficult, yet frequent decision parents are faced with. Parents must ask themselves if their child is well enough to participate in school activities. If the answer is “No,” it may be prudent to keep your child at home for the day. A child that develops fever, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea should be kept home from school until symptoms improve/abate. Never forget, if you have any questions, your physician’s office is a great resource for guidance. 6. Get kids moving an hour a day. Parents should encourage kids to pursue safe, fun activities that they enjoy. The American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends one hour of physical activity and no more than two hours of screen time (TV/computer/phone/video game) daily. Get your children away from the TV/computer and video games!

The Kid’s Doctor By Sue Hubbard, M.D. Careful cleansing and medicated lotions can help teens control acne I’ve seen a lot of teens lately for their routine checkups, and skin care is always part of our discussion. If you have adolescents, you know how self-conscious they can be when it comes to their skin. Some teens are just blessed with good skin, and when you ask them what they do to maintain their skin, their usual reply is “nothing.” Of course, that’s not the norm. Adolescence is the prime time for acne, and whether the breakouts are mild or persistent, good skin care is key for everyone. The first thing every adolescent needs to do is to wash his/her face twice a day. Don’t bother with “fancy” skin potions or lotions; the drugstore has more than enough choices to begin a good cleansing program. Using a mild soap-free cleanser
may be enough to begin with , something like Purpose, Basis, Aquanil or Neutrogena. If the skin is more oily and acne prone, try a cleanser that contains glycolic or salicylic acid , products like Neutrogena Acne wash, or Clean and Clear (read labels to check the ingredients). These provide gentle exfoliation of the skin surface. Wash with a soft cloth, but don’t scrub or buff; just wash. After washing your face in the morning, always apply a gentle non-comedogenic moisturizer with sunscreen. This will not cause acne, but will prevent the sun damage we all experience daily. Note: This is not the same as applying sunscreen for a day at the beach or lake. I like Oil of Olay complete, or Neutrogena but there are many other products out there, so find your favorite. At bedtime, after washing your
face, if your skin seems to be breaking out begin using a 5 percent benzoyl peroxide lotion (you only need a dime-size amount for the whole face) applied after your face has completely dried from the washing. If the lotion is applied to a wet or damp face it may cause redness. Benzoyl peroxide products come in several strengths and may be titrated up in strength as tolerated. If this regimen is not working well, it’s probably time for a visit to the doctor to discuss some prescription products.

Oak Lawn residents Mike and Jamie Canvin (above) enjoyed the Palos Heights Classic Car Event last Thursday with their sons Justin, 6 (left), Jake, 8, and Jaxon, 4 months. Palos Heights residents Don and Sharon Gerry (right) share smiles and a few memories as they pose with their 1962 Chevy Impala Super Sport convertible. They acquired the auto in 1981 and restored it. Today, they fondly refer to it as their “honeymoon car,” because they owned one like it when they were married in 1962 and drove down to Florida to celebrate as newlyweds. A star among stars in the car show’s Elite Concours’ was a 1965 Shelby GT 350 R Model owned by Palos Heights resident John Guinta (below). Originally built as a 1965 Ford Mustang, the car was carefully upgraded and rebuilt over a decade as an homage to legendary auto designer, car racer and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby.

physical. We asked Dr. Hussain what he looks for during school checkups. “Back to school physicals offer many advantages. Not only is it an opportunity to identify any physical or developmental problems, but it also is an opportunity for the physician to develop a rapport with the child, making the child more apt to seek help when
they require,” said Hussain. “Also, it is important for their physician to monitor emotional development, especially during adolescence, when bullying is unfortunately quite prevalent. Additionally, it is another opportunity to reinforce healthy lifestyle choices and healthy weight.” — Submitted by Little Company of Mary

GSU tries to soar to new Heights Governors State University’s Center for Performing Arts opens its 2014-15 season with the musical “In the Heights,” presented by Southland Area Theater Ensemble. Performances will be Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Nominated for 13 Tony Awards and winning four, including Best Choreography, Best Score, Best Orchestrations and the Best Musical of 2008, “In the Heights” also won the Grammy for the cast album and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in drama. This groundbreaking musical is about life in Washington Heights, a tight-knit community where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. “In the Heights” is an audience phenomenon and acclaimed critical success with a
gripping story, honest characters and incredible music and dance. The audience will go on an authentic and exhilarating journey into one of New York’s most vibrant communities; with its universal themes of family, community, change and self-discovery, “In the Heights” can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. Tickets are $25. The box office is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and two hours prior to performances.

Smart use of variables can lead to right answers for retirement If you think back to your math classes in high school or college, you may remember that many of the problems involved the use of variables. Changing these variables around in any fashion would change the outcome of the problem. Similar situations occur in life all the time. To illustrate: If you look at the need to manage your retirement income so that you can’t outlive it as a “problem” to be solved, you will need to adjust some variables to arrive at the solution you seek. That’s why it’s so important you be aware of the key variables involved in your retirement income planning. What are some of these variables? Consider the following: • Your investment mix — You might think that once you reach retirement, you can invest solely in income-producing vehicles, but you can’t forget about inflation. Even a low rate of inflation, such as we’ve had for a number of years, can seriously erode your purchasing power
over time — which is why you need to consider owning at least some investments that provide growth potential. Of course, you can change your investment mix at any time: For example, you might want to shift to a greater percentage of income-oriented investments as you move deeper into retirement. • Your withdrawal rate — You’ll need to calculate how much you can afford to withdraw from your investment portfolio each year without depleting it prematurely. Your annual withdrawal rate will depend on a few different factors — such as your projected longevity, your investment mix and your other sources of income — but you’ll want to be careful not to take out too much too soon. As was the case with your investment mix, you have the flexibility to adjust your withdrawal rate during your retirement years. • Your Social Security — You can start collecting Social Security benefits as early as age 62,
but your benefits will be permanently reduced by up to 30% unless you wait until your Full Retirement Age (FRA), which is likely 66 or 67. However, your monthly checks can increase if you delay taking your benefits beyond your Full Retirement Age, up to age 70. If you come from a particularly long-living family, and you have sufficient income apart from Social Security, you might want to delay your payments to get the larger benefit amount. Once again, you have a choice to make. • Your earned income — Just because you’ve retired from one career, it doesn’t mean you’ll never again earn some income. Many retirees take part-time jobs, do some consulting or even open a small business. Whether you feel that you need to work, or you just want to work, the money you earn from employment can be an important component of your overall retirement income. As you can see, all these variables involve choices on your
TECHNO TALK By Shelly Palmer
Loving this Android phone part. And how you choose to exercise each variable will affect all the other variables. Consequently, as you manage and monitor your retirement income, you’ll need to make many important decisions. Still, this doesn’t have to be a scary prospect — because the very fact that you have choices means you also have a great deal of control over your situation. So, study your choices carefully, as you work toward achieving the income you need to enjoy the retirement you want.

If I had to buy an Android phone today, I’d would run to the store and pick up an LG G3. It is, without question, the best Android-powered smartphone available today. This may or may not be true tomorrow or in a week or a month – such is life in the world of connected devices. But for today, the LG G3 is my smartphone of choice. Why? It’s a very balanced mix of power, features and benefits. Just like the G2, LG placed the G3’s physical buttons on the back of the device. But now, they’re bigger and easier to use.

The phone can shoot 4K video and is also able to play it back on its exceptional screen. My daughter likes to say that her “camera is her primary smartphone.” If this describes you, the LG G3 is your phone.

Stolen camera leads to a steal of a deal Back Page
WHATIZIT?

The WHATIZIT Bunch is back in form after many picked up on the Brady Bunch clue. A good chunk of you knew that Peter Brady loved pork chops and applesauce when he was playing Bogart and your guesses were on the mark. The first correct guess came from Chicago Ridge’s Kathy Higgins. Other guesses that would make Peter proud came from Hickory Hills’ Jack and Griffin Burke Faddis, Chicago Ridge’s Pat Kopchar, Dan Higgins and Dana Oswald, Worth’s Jackie Wilch, Theresa and George Rebersky, Sandy Joiner, E.J. Oahueke, Hickory Hills’ Janice Mastro and Carol and Jerry Janicki and Evergreen Park’s Henrietta Mysliwiec. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia incorrect answers were of ham and an eggplant. This week’s clue is that once a hot dog gave Archie Bunker the burps. This thingamabob that looks like a hot dog can give you something else. Bonus points go to those who can guess WHEREIZIT? as well. Send those guesses by Monday night to thereporter@comcast. net with WHATIZIT? in the subject line. Don’t forget your name and hometown.
Do you believe in miracles? What if I told you that being robbed produced one of the most miraculous experiences I’ve ever had? I already feel your skepticism. Understandably, if it hadn’t happen to me, I’d have one eyebrow up too. Nonetheless, keep an open mind. Believing is the only prerequisite for receiving. My zodiac sign is Libra. Not that I’m into astrology but for visualization, go with me. Libra represents the scale. If I were balancing the contents of my heart, putting my family on one side, my camera would balance the other side perfectly. I’m a diehard memory keeper. The only thing more important than capturing the moment is experiencing it. One of my most memorable moment to date occurred in the summer of 2011 while my family and I vacationed in a rented timeshare found online. There were scenic lakeside parks, bluegreen grass that felt like a pillow to my feet amid an on-site golf course. The luxurious amenities within our villa left me salivating to become an owner. When the concierge offered free water-park passes to sit through a timeshare presentation my thoughts soared on clouds of possibility. “Can we afford this kind of lifestyle?” As the presentation closed, I was abruptly brought back to ground-level by my husband’s fist hitting the table saying, “Are ya’ll crazy? Thirty-thousand dollars!?” That was the end of that. We returned home and resumed our modest lives. I reminisced by viewing my pictures. It left a grumbling hunger
in my stomach as if I were being starved. I decided to look on the timeshare resale market. My search unveiled multitudes at a fraction of what the developer was asking. I raced this exciting find to my husband with a gasp of having just crossed the finish line! He didn’t share my enthusiasm. A reduced price was one factor. There are annual dues, booking fees and maintenance cost associated with owning. “I’m fine with renting,” he said with a firm stance. Totally disappointed, I sulked. Being the great guy he is, a compromise was made. I was given the green light on a purchase. Two days into our three-day right of recession, I had a dream that pressed me to cancel the contract. It was still too expensive for our budget. We killed the deal and I was back at square one. I couldn’t move on. I was fanatical about finding another one. I started working with a resale agent. I gave her my price range, desired location and budget for annual maintenance and she went to work. Problem is, that husband of mine wanted no part of it. For him, the deal was off the table, indefinitely. To smooth things over, he agreed to treat the family to one last weekend getaway before school started. In a twist of fate, my resale agent called while we were on that trip. “I’ve found your exact specifications,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. We were at the very resort she was speaking of. We loved it. But, loving it wasn’t enough to move my husband. I was convinced it was Divinity who’d orchestrated us being there during
offered us. Flabbergasted, I found a timeshare for sale at that resort and our specifications listed verbatim, it was a two-bed, two-bath, villa with enough points for a two-week stay during prime season. Opening bid started at $99. It remained open for seven days. I wasn’t near the computer when the bid closed. An e-mail confirmed our win. No one else had even bid. It was ours for $99. But that’s not the miracle. I came from a poor family. We were evicted numerous times. Many of which the sheriff, accompanied By Claudia Parker by his shotgun, would escort us and our belongings to the curb. that call.

One-third of American adults suffer from high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Why is this? Well, stress and poor diet are the two primary culprits. The body reacts to stress by constricting the walls of blood vessels. When the stress of a situation passes the blood vessels return to normal, however, many people today live such fast-paced, stressfilled lives that high blood pressure becomes a chronic affliction. The ancient Greek physician Hypocrites, often called the Father of Medicine, praised wine and prescribed it to his patients. Today, medical research has proven that alcohol, particularly wine, drunk in moderation can provide longlasting relief from hypertension and the general discomfort associ-
ated with it. Two glasses of wine with your meals can reduce blood pressure for up to four hours. Doctors believe this is because the alcohol directly affects the central nervous system, causing it to relax the blood vessels and produce a calming effect. Learning to relax, especially at mealtime, is particularly important for the hypertensive person. Light, very dry wines are highly recommended to compliment meals because they are diuretic and promote the elimination of salt from the body through the urine. This is very important because salt raises blood pressure. Wine is so effective in this regard that persons on low-salt diets can actually tolerate higher-sodium meals. In the pre-Christian world people’s diets consisted largely

Coping with the age-old problem of old age Bartosh Growing old is not something people tend to look forward to with anticipation, except when the only other alternative presented them is growing deceased. Being alive, regardless of condition, is much preferred, but there’s still a certain sadness attached to aging. Creating part of that melancholy state is the realization that one’s best days, at least when it comes to activities, are past. Now there’s nothing wrong with reading a book, playing bingo or checkers, or meeting for price-reduced lunches. And if we’re honest we’ll admit to envying those senior citizens who can grab an afternoon nap without fear of being written up by a supervisor. But those pursuits are outnumbered by the ones now out of bounds for the youngat-heart-but-old-of-body crowd. Anything featuring high speeds or an element of danger, for example, is considered taboo. So that means playing shuffleboard instead of shooting the rapids and gin rummy replacing jet skiing. Except in some cases. Walking among us in a non-hunchedover condition are older folks who refuse to succumb to societal expectations of downshifting and shawl-wearing once they reach a certain age and continue to act as if their body clocks stopped at 35 years. I thought about this after reading of an elderly woman who threw out the first pitch at a recent San Diego Padres game. The lady in question, Agnes McKee, used an underhand delivery and was stationed well in front of the mound, two factors that undoubtedly aided her performance, but I’m not going to quibble about her getting the ball to catcher Rene Rivera. After all, Agnes is 105 years old. She is the oldest person ever chosen to throw out a ceremonial first pitch and, reportedly, at least a few teams are interested in signing her as a potential fifth starter after seeing her pitching form. I think it’s great Agnes McKee was able to do that and also
a bit disconcerting that she did it better than I probably would have. But it gives me hope that, if given the chance to live a while longer and practice a lot, I, too, will one day be able to throw something more than a fit after my favorite MeTV rerun gets pre-empted. Agnes’ story followed one involving a woman named Kriste Lewis, who at the age of 40 wouldn’t normally be thought of as over the hill in any way. However, she also wouldn’t be thought of as cheerleader material, either, but that’s what she is after passing a tryout to become a New Orleans Saintsation. Lewis’ tale actually has a sad element — she is suffering from an incurable kidney disease that likely limits some of her physical undertakings. Already at a disadvantage because she carried quite a few more years than your typical cheerleader, Lewis ignored both negative factors to strike a blow for anyone who normally thinks in “I can’t” terms and give them a reason to seriously rethink that position. Curious after reading about Agnes McKee and Kriste Lewis, I decided to search out some other unexpected athletic endeavors. Amazingly, there were several that caught my eye: • The oldest scuba diver on record is a man named Bert Kilbride, who was 93 at the time, an age when getting in and out of the shower can often be an adventure. Another 93-year-old, Herb Tanner, swapped water for air as he became one of the oldest sky divers ever. • How about “Banana” George Blair, a sprightly 92-year-old whom the Guinness Records people have deemed the oldest known barefoot water skier? As if that isn’t impressive enough, Banana George’s signature move consists of holding the tow rope in his teeth, assuming he doesn’t leave them soaking in a glass at home. (Just kidding, George.) • Unlike Banana George, Edith McAllister requires skis when she wants to travel across the water, but at age 91 she can
be forgiven for that formality. If the two of them want company the next time they hit the beach they may want to place a call to John Zabotocky, a mere lad of 89 who is still a regular surfer. • In contrast to those folks who prefer the surf, Ernest Van Leeuwen kept his feet firmly on the turf, except when he took his next step while running. At the age of 94 in 2006 Van Leeuwen became the oldest man ever to compete in the Los Angeles Marathon and received the event’s courage award when he finished. He passed away the following year but obviously not from overexertion. Other senior standouts I learned about were 70-somethings. Jim Morris, a 71-yearold former Mr. America, is still buff enough to handle any smart-mouth columnists who seek to draw snickers at his expense, and 73-year-old Ken Mink, who played basketball at Roane State (Tenn.) Community College in 2008. Oh, and not to be overlooked is 76-year-old Min Bahadur Sherchan. Instead of just climbing a staircase and calling it a day like most people of his generation, he scaled Mt. Everest, all 29,000 feet of it. Are all these people mentioned above truly exceptions to the aging rule? No, they’ve gotten older just like everyone else but refused to let chronology become their primary calling card. Of course, these achievers aren’t going to usher in a new school of thought among either their peers or the generations that follow. Advancing age will continue to mean a retreat from physical challenges in most cases, and the world’s marketers, advertisers and salesmen will keep pitching their wares to the 18-to-35 group with nary a thought to anyone older. But that’s OK. Those people of advanced years don’t require pandering, nor do they want pampering. They simply desire to not be ignored or kicked to the curb. In other words, they’d prefer to be treated just anyone else who can climb Mt. Everest.

Competitors wait for the start of one of Sunday's races at the eighth annual Palos Meltdown mountain-bike race.
Big deals on wheels Mountain bikers enjoy annual Palos Meltdown By Frank Gogola
did it and I really enjoyed it. “I think the biggest hurdle you have to jump is just pushing yourself to register and get set to do it. I’m no professional; I going to finish low- to mid-pack, but it’s super fun. I can’t deny that.” Reyes originally entered the novice category, but he was no neophyte to mountain biking as a noncompetitive activity. He has been involved since he was in 7th grade, when he got a Trek bike. “Really, that’s all there is to it,” he said. “I got a bike one day and I ended up liking it a lot.” Hickory Hills resident Dennis Schueler has been racing mountain bikes for 10 years and participates in more than 15 events annually. A multiple-time entrant in the Meltdown, the 52-year-old Schueler placed third in the 50-59 category and 16th overall in the men’s expert race. “One time I went out with some friends on a mountain bike [ride] and I liked it,” Schueler said, referring to his biking origins. “I just progressed from there. “This race is always good. It’s a fun race [and there’s] always a lot of talent at this one. Out of the [Illinois state] series it’s always the hardest one because it has the best talent.” A first-time competitor was Terri Kachinsky, 31, of Palos Hills. Despite being introduced to mountain biking just three years ago with a “very entry-level bike,” Kachinsky has proved a fast study as evidenced by her 12th-place showing in the novice
race’s female 30-39 category. “As I rode more and got more technical, I ended up slowly upgrading and getting faster and better,” Kachinsky said. “Living in Palos Hills there’s very easy access to trails, so this has been a hobby for me for the past two or three years. Given the close proximity and having some of the best mountain biking right in our own backyard, I think it encouraged me to join the novice race and do the full nine miles.” Perhaps the most eye-opening result was produced by 14-yearold Iowan Tianah Ryan. In only her second career race, Ryan took first in both her age group and the women’s field in the first-timers’ event. “It felt amazing to cross the finish line,” Ryan said. “Out there I was tired. I almost wanted to quit because it was so tiring — just that little race was. “That hill, to go up [it the] first [time], it was bad. It was hard to get up, and at the end it was even harder.” Ryan, who said she discovered the Meltdown while looking online for races and decided to try it because “we’ve never been here before,” is continuing a family tradition by being involved with mountain biking. “My dad raced before with all my other family, all my other brothers and sisters,” she said. “I never got to do it, so I figured it would be fun to try. And, you know, it was really fun.” (RESULTS on page 3)
Next time someone says to take a hike, it’s recommended a mountain bike be standard equipment. Certainly that was true Sunday for hundreds of people at Palos Forest Preserve, which hosted the eighth annual Palos Meltdown mountain-bike race. The single-track event, which serves as a fundraiser for Chicago Area Mountain Bikers to help build and maintain mountain-bike trails, attracted more than 600 racers from across the state as well as some competitors from outside Illinois. Among the local participants was Chicago Ridge’s Vincenzo Reyes, who was taking part for the second year in a row. The 20-year-old rode in the novice field in 2013 but moved into the sport class this time. Reyes, a mechanic at Performance Bike in Orland Park, said his competitive rise is something anyone with a desire to get better can manage.

(Continued from page 1) even until the sixth. Extra frames were required to decide the issue, and St. Laurence tilted the verdict its way in the eighth when Greco got hit by a pitch with the bags filled. Mike Finger’s single, a Marist error and hit batsman preceded Greco’s plate appearance. “We had a tough one on Monday,” Lotus said. “[The RedHawks] played very well and their pitcher threw a great game for them. We didn’t have great atbats the first couple innings and we didn’t play the way we have been, although we fought back.” Anthony Robles and Riordan teamed up on the hill to hold Marist to four hits on the day. They evenly split six strikeouts between them. Still, Lotus admitted the RedHawks gave his guys “a little bit of a wake-up call” by pushing them hard, and the Vikings (14-2) responded to the scare by beating Marian Catholic (9-1) and Oak Forest (7-2) over the next two days. Greco limited the Spartans to four hits over six innings on Tuesday, just two of them coming after the opening stanza. He was staked to an early lead as Sean Burnette (two-run double), Verta (double), Rios (RBI single) and Riordan (RBI single) all figured in a five-run rally. Greco contributed an RBI double of his own to the cause. “I’m glad to see we kept hitting and had a lot of extra-base hits, which is always good,” said Lotus, whose club totaled 14 safeties. “We had a very productive day swinging the bats.” Greco accounted for four of those hits, including a pair of two-baggers. Both of his singles resulted in RBI, and Riordan and Kevin Aderman also supplied run-producing hits later on. *** Five runs in the sixth enabled the Vikings to snap a 2-all tie with Oak Forest and go on to claim a Wednesday triumph. Before that happened, however, Riordan had to extricate St. Laurence from a predicament in the fifth, which he did by ringing up an inning-ending strikeout and leaving runners stranded at the corners. “If John doesn’t get that strikeout, who knows what might have happened?” Lotus said. Although Riordan performed a rescue, Lotus felt Cavanaugh had given a good accounting of himself on the mound through a four-inning stint. The junior-to-be fanned three, gave up just three hits and was nicked only for an unearned run. “He’s not a kid who’s been in a lot of spots like that, so he pitched real well,” Lotus said. “Getting contributions from these [younger] guys and still having Riordan on the back end in relief is big. “I don’t know what most people’s perception [of our summer team] was going to be — maybe they didn’t think we’d be as good [as before], and you don’t really know how it’s going to turn out. There’s definitely a sense of apprehension with [some of] the younger guys, but they should expect a lot out of themselves and I’m proud of the way we approached things this summer.” CHICAGO CHRISTIAN Reavis held a 3-0 edge over the Knights through five innings last Monday, but Christian knotted the score on a couple of hits. Trevor Decker’s RBI single created the tie. Then in the ninth the Rams committed an error on a ball hit by Pat McCarthy to give the Knights the deciding marker. Equally as important to Christian’s welfare was senior-to-be Christian Bolhuis’ work on the hill. The reigning area Player of the Year stopped Reavis cold over 5 1/3 innings of relief. Bolhuis surrendered two hits and induced an eighth-inning double play that left the Rams empty after they had loaded the bases with only one out. “We were trying to save Christian until Tuesday, but obviously you can’t play Tuesday if you don’t win on Monday,” Brauer said. “The reality was it’s tough to prepare for Thursday if we use Christian for seven innings on Monday and don’t have him the rest of the week, but to the credit of Reavis their kid threw a real nice ballgame.” While climbing out of a 3-0 hole wasn’t easy, it was a piece of cake compared to the situation in which the Knights found themselves on Tuesday. With Brett Stratinsky (double, three runs, two walks), Ethan Glaza (two runs, one RBI, one run) and Mitchell Spencer (one RBI, one run) all collecting two hits, Stagg constructed a 6-0 cushion. That’s the way it stood entering the bottom of the seventh, and Christian found itself one out away from elimination while still trailing 6-2. But before the
Chargers could retire the side, the Knights clawed their way all their way back as McCarthy and Decker both poked RBI singles and Bolhuis banged a two-run double off the outfield fence. Dan Vos (RBI double), Jack De Vries (double) and Trevor Wolterink (RBI single) also provided hits to fuel the surge. One inning later, Jim Brady’s safety squeeze handed Christian an improbable victory. “You don’t want to ever try to win a game that way,” Brauer said. Losing it in that manner was no bargain, either. “We were a little thin on pitching and the bottom of their order found a way to get on,” said Stagg coach Matt O’Neill, whose team advanced in the tourney with a 12-11 triumph on Monday. “It was kind of like a survival of the fittest.” *** Mt. Carmel used RBI from Josh Stowers (single) and Malik Carpenter (sacrifice fly) to get the jump on the Knights one day later, but Christian countered that noisemaking with a four-spot in the bottom of the first. Bolhuis (single), Wolterink (single) and Jacob Bulthuis (fielder’s choice) all had RBI for the Knights, whose fourth run tallied on a Mt. Carmel error. “When you play big schools like that, you want to get [at least] a run back right away and be able to compete,” Brauer said. A mound quartet of John VanderWall, De Vries, Wolterink and Bolhuis made sure Christian’s lead held up the rest of the way. The latter fanned four batters during his two-inning stint. “That ended up leaving us without a ton of pitching,” Brauer said of the Knights’ earlier extra-inning affairs. “But our defense played real well — they made only one error — and [the Caravan] stranded some baserunners.” STAGG Earning the Chargers a second-round berth was a conquest of Homewood-Flossmoor on Monday, a game O’Neill termed “real sloppy.” “We took advantage of a lot of their walks and started to hit when we had to,” he said. Stagg’s biggest outburst was its eight-run fifth, which erased a 7-1 deficit. Mike Bibbiano’s twoRBI double was the pivotal blow in the rally, but Stratinsky and Spencer also knocked in two runs apiece with singles. Generating additional RBI were Joe VanNieuwenhuys (single) and Joe Zaremba (bases-loaded walk). Spencer finished with four RBI in all, while Bibbiano slammed a second double. The Chargers totaled 11 hits. “Really, for the first time in a while, we may actually have competition at positions [in 2015] based on guys’ ability to hit,” O’Neill said. Although pitching wasn’t a strong point for either the Chargers or H-F on this occasion, O’Neill believes his club will also be satisfactory in that regard next spring. “We won’t have that shutdown guy like Max Strus, but I think we’ll be OK,” he said. “We’ll have a little bit of depth on the mound.” While O’Neill admitted “it’s always nice to make a little run” in the summer playoffs, he doesn’t think it’s necessarily a barometer for how the ensuing spring might unfold. In fact, the veteran leader is contemplating forgoing the summer campaign altogether in 2015. “I don’t want to do something that’s going to upset people, but I don’t know if the benefits are there,” he said. “My feeling is it’s not as important as it once was, and for some kids it might be getting to be more like a job than a hobby to play. “It’s a lot to ask of these guys to commit to [a full summer season]. We’ve talked about going down to 10 games, but I think we can get more out of going two hours a day for a couple days in practice. That way we can teach a little more.” BROTHER RICE Also lasting two rounds were the Crusaders, who opened tourney play with a 12-0 whitewash of Bremen. They were unable to follow up Monday’s win successfully, however, as they fell short of Chicago Catholic League Blue rival Mt. Carmel, 6-2, on Tuesday. Ryan Kutt’s three-run homer highlighted Brother Rice’s onslaught versus the Braves. Jake Ridgway added three hits and the pitching duo of Joey Preusser and Pat Smith also did their part to make victory possible. “They got ahead of hitters, changed speeds and really helped us stay in it,” Crusaders coach John McCarthy said of his hurlers. Rice’s skipper was equally pleased with his team’s offensive exploits. “I think hitting is an ongoing process,” McCarthy said. “Anytime we’re tacking on a couple hits at a time and putting pressure [on the defense], it gets contagious for
us. In today’s high school game momentum is such a big thing, and it really kind of rolls into the next at-bat.” That was a missing ingredient the next day. “Against Mt. Carmel, it was the exact opposite for us,” McCarthy said. “We have talent, but we really have to work on the mental part of the game and not making mistakes or beating ourselves.” The summer season didn’t end the way McCarthy would have liked, but there was no hesitation in saying his guys “made some real improvement” between June and July. “I’m very, very pleased with the summer,” he said. “We saw what we need to work on and it was good to start putting the pieces together. “Our goals are to play hard, play fundamentally sound and force the opposing team to beat us — if we do that, we’re going to win a lot more games than we lose. [When players are] trusting themselves and playing with confidence, you’re going to do well. “We’re trying to build team chemistry. We got to see a lot of guys in a lot of different situations and the seniors did a good job of getting the younger guys on board.” SHEPARD Mt. Carmel began tournament action by dispatching the Astros 6-1 last Monday as Shepard played without a few key members of its roster. “We played well, but I was missing Bobby [Peterka], Brett [Smith] and [Mark] Albrecht,” Astros coach Frank DiFoggio said. “We got runners on, but we couldn’t execute — you could tell we were missing hitters. We had some good at-bats [later], but some of our guys were a little overmatched.” Shepard did its lone scoring in the first inning, with Jack Carberry’s single driving in Kevin Carmody (single). That had the Astros even after one stanza, but the Caravan picked up deuces in both the second and fourth frames to take command. “They didn’t hit for extra bases, but they got hits and ran the bases [well],” DiFoggio said of Mt. Carmel. A one-hour rain delay did nothing to shift fortunes Shepard’s way, so it was forced to end its summer campaign. Still, DiFoggio felt the Astros had done a reasonably good job of standing up to the Caravan. “I liked our fight — we hung in there and battled,” he said. “I was kind of happy at the end. I saw a lot of progress and we started to get much better. “I think [summer] was a great experience for our guys. I think they got a lot out of it. I saw some kids making adjustments and starting to figure things out, and I like where we’re headed.” *** Host Richards advanced into Tuesday by rolling over Illiana Christian 11-3, but the Bulldogs’ journey was halted by Oak Forest, which administered a 12-0 beating. Richards managed just four hits off Bengals pitcher Tom Jager, who benefited from his team’s six-run explosion in the fourth inning. Kevin Johnson had three RBI for the winners. Oak Forest blanked Oak Lawn 5-0 in its playoff opener last Monday. SANDBURG The Eagles were the only local contingent not assigned to the Richards Regional, and they made themselves right at home in Lockport by triumphing three times to reach that regional final. Sandburg defeated Bolingbrook (11-4), Lincoln-Way East (12-6) and the host Porters (7-2) over the first three days, but it couldn’t complete a sweep. Instead, unbeaten Joliet Catholic Academy doled out a 12-5 setback in Thursday’s championship encounter. Eagles batters struck out a total of 10 times against Hilltoppers pitchers Nick Dalesandro and Mike Quiram, but a leaky JCA defense allowed Sandburg to stay afloat by surrendering five unearned markers. However, the Eagles couldn’t fully capitalize on the generosity because they played some giveaway of their own. The Hilltoppers put 11 runners aboard on either walks or hit-bypitches, and they made Sandburg pay dearly for those unintentional gifts. Andy Gaytan (two hits) and Jim Roche (RBI single) were two prominent figures in the Eagles’ lineup. Lockport could have ended Sandburg’s postseason stay one day earlier, but unlike JCA the Porters couldn’t take advantage of having plenty of baserunners. A dozen of them were left stranded on Wednesday, which enabled Eagles pitcher Alec Martinez (seven strikeouts) to emerge unscathed. Martinez was also heard from at the plate, where he delivered a pair of RBI doubles on Sandburg’s behalf. Ken Michalowski (two-run double) and Jim Landgraf (RBI single) were other contributors.
On the edge...and right on target! The Palos Thunder went 5-0 to win a tournament in Homewood.

Kids and adults should stay away from ‘Sex Tape’ By Tony Pinto “Sex Tape” is not a family movie, as you could most likely tell by the title. It’s an R-rated movie that at times pushes the boundary of what can be considered an R-rated movie, so keep the kids far away from this film. The film’s about Annie, played by Cameron Diaz, and Jay, played by Jason Segel. They are a married couple in a sexless marriage. That wasn’t always the case, as we see in the extremely long opening montage. They had intimate relations all the time, then kids came and then they just kind of stopped. Apparently it’s not like riding a bike, and they forgot how to have intimate relations. In order to solve their problem they come to the conclusion they need to make a porno. What could go wrong with this idea? Long story short, their “Sex Tape” gets out. The one husband Jay is a radio DJ who is into technology. Somehow he gives away iPads as gifts really frequently. That’s one expensive gift to give out. In what is not actually possible in real life, all the iPads sync to his computer. You can thank Apple for this not being real. What
Videoview very definition of a cult-classic television series, David Lynch’s darkly amusing show that gave household names to such characters as Laura Palmer and the Log Lady finally gets its full due on home video. The program’s Blu-ray debut also folds in the feature film “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) goes to the Pacific Northwest to join Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean) in probing Laura’s (Sheryl Lee) murder. To put it mildly, the locals are a bit unusual; Sherilyn Fenn, Madchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook, Richard Beymer, Ray Wise, Peggy Lipton and Everett McGill also are in the cast. The set is loaded with extras including episode previews and recaps, a new retrospective documentary and almost 90 minutes of previously unseen footage from the show. **** (Not rated: AS, P, V) “LULLABY”: An impressive cast fuels a familiar premise as a family reunion unfolds amid impending tragedy. Richard Jenkins plays the clan patriarch who wants to go off life support, causing a variety of reactions among relatives including his children (Garrett Hedlund, Jessica Brown-Findlay). Amy Adams, Jennifer Hudson, Terrence Howard and Anne Archer play others who are party to the discussion — and a sometimes heated one at that — over a patient’s rights. Andrew Levitas wrote and directed the film. *** (Not rated: AS, P) “CUBAN FURY”: Often in tandem with Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, Nick Frost has targeted movie genres in such satires as “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz.” He’s at it again in this parody of dance films, playing a man who was ready to capture a salsa championship in his youth before a nerve-shaking incident. Now in his adulthood, he’s inspired by his new boss (Rashida Jones) to get himself back in shape and make another bid for dance-floor glory. Chris O’Dowd, 1. Trigga, Trey Songz, Atlantic Rory Kinnear (“Skyfall”) and Ian 2. X, Ed Sheeran, Atlantic McShane also appear. *** (R: AS, 3. In the Lonely Hour, Sam Smith, Capitol Records 4.

by Tony Pinto could go wrong there? What can go wrong does go wrong. This is the part where all the computer savvy people come in and rip apart the plot for being intentionally technologically dumb. The writers are Jason Segel, Nicholas Stoller, and Kate Angelo, the latter two surprisingly also directed “The Muppets.” They want us to believe that Jay is a technologically savvy person, but if he actually was there would be no movie. If he was technologically smart, that would be nice, because then there would actually be no movie. Back to the plot, the tape goes up to the cloud which is basically a fancy storage device that doesn’t physically exist that holds computer documents. While up in the cloud, the tape syncs to all the iPads Jay gives outs. Jay and Annie with the help of their friends Robby, played by Rob Corddry and Tess, played by Ellie Kemper go on a wild goose chase looking for the
Omarr’s Weekly Astrological Forecast
by Jay Bobbin (NOTICE: Ratings for each film begin with a ‘star’ rating — one star meaning ‘poor,’ four meaning ‘excellent’ — followed by the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and then by a family-viewing guide, the key for which appears below.) STARTING THIS WEEK: “NOAH”: The saga of the legend who built history’s most famous ark gets an intriguing retelling from director Darren Aronofsky (“Black Swan”) in this large-scale drama, boasting a fine performance by Russell Crowe in the title role. Noah’s race to complete the vessel and set sail before the arrival of a devastating flood, which he has envisioned in dreams, stirs concerns for his wife (Jennifer Connelly, reunited with Crowe from “A Beautiful Mind”). Logan Lerman plays one of the couple’s sons, with Emma Watson, Ray Winstone, Frank Langella and Anthony Hopkins also in the cast ... but the impressive production design is equally a star. (PG-13: AS, V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “THE OTHER WOMAN”: Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann prove a terrific comedic match in a film that reaffirms just how much the right combination of performers can add to a script. Diaz plays an attorney dismayed to discover that her boyfriend (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones”) has a wife (Mann) ... but rather than becoming enemies, the women team up to seek emotional justice. They’re not the only ones wronged, since model Kate Upton also appears as another lady two-timed by the cad. Singer Nicki Minaj also is featured. DVD extras: outtakes; photo gallery. *** (PG-13: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray) “TWIN PEAKS — THE ENTIRE MYSTERY”: The
iPads so they can erase the film from all the iPads Jay has given away. On the journey, they run into some interesting people including Hank Rosenbaum, played by Rob Lowe. He may do the best job of anyone in the film and that’s really not saying much. Diaz and Segel have starred together before in the film “Bad Teacher” where they actually had chemistry together, unlike in this film where it all seems forced. It has some laughs but not nearly enough. Even with the laughs we do get they all seem forced. The main characters are never the butt of any jokes but they should be. They seem to get out scot-free every time there could be a joke about them. At times the movie seems way to much like an iPad commercial. Hopefully the makers of this movie got some money from Apple, because there is Apple product placement everywhere. It’s a movie that’s not worth your time. There have been better R-rated comedies to come out this year, so spend your time watching those movies. If you do choose to see it be forewarned, the best part is it has a short running time. Tony Pinto’s grade: D.
Pinto’s Popcorn Picks
by Jeraldine Saunders P) (Also on Blu-ray) “SECRET STATE”: The success of “House of Cards,” in both its British and American incarnations, likely has an audience well-prepped for this drama about another politician immersed in a landscape of power and duplicity. Gabriel Byrne has the central role as England’s deputy prime minister, who finds his professionalism and character tested by economic, military and personal factors. Based on Chris Mullin’s novel “A Very British Coup,” the saga also stars Charles Dance, Gina McKee (“Notting Hill”) and Stephen Dillane. *** (Not rated: AS, P) COMING SOON: “NEED FOR SPEED” (Aug. 5): Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) plays an ex-convict who gets a chance to get even with an old enemy (Dominic Cooper) by driving fast ... really fast. (PG-13: AS, P, V) “OCULUS” (Aug. 5): A woman (Karen Gillan) is determined to prove her brother (Brenton Thwaites) was guided by a supernatural force in committing murder. (R: AS, P, V) “BEARS” (Aug. 12): John C. Reilly narrates the live-action Disney documentary about young cubs who must deal with various elements of the environment in Alaska. (G) “THE BLACKLIST: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON” (Aug. 12): James Spader plays enigmatic “Red” Reddington, who teases an FBI novice (Megan Boone) with information on criminals. (Not rated: AS, P, V) “MUPPETS MOST WANTED” (Aug. 12): During an overseas trek, Kermit finds himself framed for theft by a look-alike ... and held under the watch of a humorless prison guard (Tina Fey). (PG: AS) “THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2” (Aug. 19): The web-slinger (Andrew Garfield) goes up against several villains, including the Green Goblin (Dane DeHaan) and Electro (Jamie Foxx). (PG-13: V) FAMILY-VIEWING GUIDE KEY: AS, adult situations; N, nudity; P, profanity; V, violence; GV, particularly graphic violence.

Use your skills to climb the ladder of success. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The week ahead offers you a chance to improve a situation that involves your home or family. Your judgment may be better than usual and you may be given an opportunity to make your dreams come true. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love and relationships aren’t always logical.

Top off every day with blissful moments of togetherness with a congenial companion. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The excitement of new places and faces can be exhilarating in the week to come. Escape from routines. Your imagination and inspiring ideas make you a welcome addition to any crowd and attractive to romantic partners. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put practical matters at the front of the line.

M
help or favors. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t be content to play second fiddle. You might think you have to bow to someone else’s opinion, but you may have a brilliant solution if you merely speak out. Exude confidence in the week ahead. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can learn to give without feeling used and learn to love without feeling abused. In the week ahead, you may have an opportunity to move forward and leave your suspicions in the dust. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. SBee_5x5_ad.pdf 1 3/7/2014 12:41:02 PM 21): Pay attention to the inspi-
rations that pop into your head this week. Pursue the latest fad or most popular entertainment. You’re at your best with a congenial companion who shares your interest in exotic delights. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your ship might come in if you sent it in the right direction in the first place. Go ahead and flatter the boss or ask for a favor from a friend.

Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck
Easy dressings for your summer salad repertoire I’ll always remember one of the early moments in my career, when I thought I just might be successful as a chef. Barely in my 20s, I was working in the kitchen of Raymond Thuilier at the Michelin three-star L’Oustau de Baumaniere in Provence. One day, the great chef came over, dipped a spoon into a pan containing a sauce I had just made, tasted it, and said something like, “This is good. Maybe just a little more salt.” I knew I had earned his confidence, because sauces are a cornerstone of good cooking. A properly made sauce, whether savory or sweet, can elevate well-prepared ingredients from ordinary to extraordinary. And once you know the fundamentals of making a particular sauce, you can begin varying it with different kinds of ingredients and seasonings to make all kinds of delicious things. That holds true, too, for how great dressings can transform salads. After all, what we call “vinaigrette” in English comes from the French term (BEGIN ITALICS) sauce vinaigrette (END ITALICS), literally a “little vinegar sauce.” A salad’s dressing really is its sauce, moistening and flavoring it while harmonizing all the other ingredients. So I sometimes wonder why so many people rely on bottled salad dressings that lack a home cook’s personal touch, especially considering how easy it is to make dressings yourself. And in summer, when salads become even more prominent menu items thanks to the availability of fresh vegetables and fruits, along with our desire to eat more refreshing, lighter foods, having the ability to make great salad dressings becomes more important than ever. Consider the four vinaigrette recipes I share here as a primer in the art of dressing salads. All feature some variation on the classic formula of combining an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or citrus juice with seasonings, then stirring in an oil or fat to form a creamy emulsion. Depending on the specific ingredients, you can get all sorts of great results for different salads. My Balsamic Vinaigrette, our standby at Spago, is an all-purpose dressing for any mixed green salad. The Citrus Vinaigrette, tangy with reduced orange juice and a little balsamic, suits tender, mild greens like butter lettuce. Caesar Vinaigrette, a version of the dressing for classic Caesar Salad, goes well with robust leaves like Romaine, coating them with its rich, garlicky, creamy consistency. And the Bacon Vinaigrette, a popular warm dressing used sparingly, slightly wilts the leaves of salads to which it is added, such as spinach or curly endive, while complementing their slight bitterness or astringency with the smoky richness of a little bacon fat. Add these four recipes to your repertoire and your summer salad days will be all the more delightful! BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE Makes about 1 cup 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, minced 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs such as thyme, tarragon, chives, or parsley 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/3 cup walnut oil In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegars, mustard, shallot, herbs, salt and pepper.

Variety
by Cynthia Littleton ABC executives in search for new producers of ‘The View’ ABC Daytime execs are in the midst of an extensive search for new producers to take the reins of “The View” as the show prepares to replace most of its panelists for its 18th season. Industry sources say execs are reaching out to a range of producers with experience in daytime TV and news in an effort to inject “fresh energy” into the show. The new hires may well include a co-showrunner to work alongside founding “View” exec producer Bill Geddie. With all the on-air changes, the biz has presumed that Geddie would be giving up his day-to-day showrunner duties as part of the shakeup but ABC sources insist this is not the case. The hunt for new producers is mirrored by the show’s search for new faces to join moderator Whoopi Goldberg on the panel when the show’s new season begins Sept. 15. Barbara Walters, originator of the series, retired from the show in May, an exit that was planned for more than a year. But late last month word surfaced that Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy would not be returning in September. Rosie O’Donnell is set to return to the show where she had a volatile run in the 2006-07 season, and TMZ is reporting that she struck a deal on Tuesday afternoon with ABC to come back. Her appearance as a guest in February delivered a ratings bump, a number that did not go unnoticed by execs. The intensity of the search effort in the past two weeks for panelists and producers is a clear sign that network execs had not hammered out a plan for the post-Walters “View” at the time that Shepherd and McCarthy’s departures became public. “The View” makeover has become the top priority for ABC Daytime prexy Lisa Hackner and a big focus for incoming Disney/ABC Television topper Ben Sherwood. Sources say “View” is casting a wide net for prominent women to bring a culturally conservative perspective to the panel, as well as women versed in politics and comedy. O’Donnell would add a strong liberal voice to the panel. There has been much talk of the possibility that a man will join the panel as a regular. Sources caution that dozens of scenarios are under consideration, but there’s a strong feeling that the core “View” panel should remain all femmes in order to preserve the show’s “women talking to women” vibe.

Shepherd and McCarthy will remain with the show through Aug. 8. The two acknowledged their departures recently. Shepherd, who logged seven years with the show, was tearful as she thanked Walters and Geddie for giving her the opportunity to be on the show. “I’ve been here seven years, and my time with ‘The View’ is complete,” Shepherd said. “I’m going to forever be grateful to Barbara Walters and Bill Geddie for taking a chance on an actress and making me learn things, helping me step out of my comfort zone. They gave me a chance.”
