‘Justice needs to be served’ OL mayor attends hearing of alleged indecency offender By Dermot Connolly Staff Reporter

They’re hitting the jackpot! Hickory Hills could make close to $200,000 in video gambling By Sharon L. Filkins Correspondent

While some communities are still wrestling with the pros and cons of bringing in video gambling to their towns, officials in Hickory Hills almost feel like they have hit the jackpot after allowing it within their city’s borders. Alderman John Szeszycki, chairman of the Finance Committee said that the city had gained $91,899 in video gambling revenue since January. Speaking at the June 11 city council meeting, he added that by the end of the year, that amount could increase

It’s better at

to $193,788. The alderman told the council that the City receives 5 percent of the total amount generated through video gambling, while 25 percent goes to the State of Illinois. He added that owners of the establishments where the video machines are located get 35 percent as do the owners of the terminals. The city lifted its ban on gambling in May, 2012. Alderman Tom McAvoy said, “The revenue to the city since that time has been much more than we (Continued on page 2)

An Oak Lawn man who was arrested and charged with public indecency for a second time brought out some heavy hitters to his hearing Tuesday. Daniel M. Vorberg, 32, was on parole for a previous public indecency conviction when Oak Lawn police arrested him for the same offense last Thursday and Oak Lawn Mayor Sandra Bury joined concerned residents and Chicago Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) at Vorberg’s Tuesday appearance in Bridgeview Courthouse with the hope that he stays in jail. “You have an alleged repeat offender that is directly affecting the safety of Oak Lawn children, and children everywhere,” said Bury, explaining why she wanted to attend the hearing. O’Shea was there because the incident that led to Vorberg’s conviction occurred in his ward, on April 30, 2013, outside an elementary school in Chicago’s Mount Greenwood neighborhood. In that case, he was sentenced to three years in prison after being caught masturbating near the school. He fled when a parent saw him, but his license plate was traced to his home in Oak Lawn. After being convicted in May, 2014, he was paroled last October. His next hearing is July 16, and Bury said it appeared likely that he would be held in Cook County Jail until then, unable to make bail. But she said that at the hearing, the judge put restrictions on his bond, so if he does get out, he will be required to wear a GPS ankle monitor. “He was warned to stay away from children, and not set foot near a school. Justice needs to be served. I don’t want to see him getting out on parole so quickly again,” said Bury, noting that Vorberg has a “pretty long history, and none of it is good.” Oak Lawn Police Department Division Chief Randy Palmer said in a press release that a detective knew Vorberg, who lives in the 5000 block of West 101st Street in Oak Lawn, had been convicted of public indecency when he saw him parking his car about 2:30 p.m. near 95th Street and 53rd Court, close to a children’s center last Thursday. Children and adults were gathered in the playground area,

Mayor Sandra Bury was in court Tuesday hoping that Daniel M. Vorberg, who was arrested a second time for public indecency near a school, would stay in jail. behind the center. A surveillance team was then set up and a short time later, and Vorberg was arrested after he was seen performing a “lewd act” while watching the playground area, police said. Observers said he appeared to be masturbating, but he reportedly said he was applying Vorberg medicated lotion to a work injury. The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office approved the charges of one felony count of public indecency within 500 feet of a school while children are present, and one felony count of parole violation. He was ordered held on $150,000 bond. Although the 2013 case was his first conviction, he has been charged with similar crimes before. According to published reports, he was charged with three felony counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of disorderly conduct, and one of pub-

According to State law, a business must have a liquor license in order to apply for a video gambling license. When the gambling ban was lifted, Hickory Hills had just four businesses eligible. There are currently 14 businesses with video gaming licenses in Hickory Hills. Each business is allowed up to five machines. There are approximately 52 video terminals distributed among the businesses, according to City Clerk Dee Catizone.

Glennon getting geared up for Marist-to-Marist ride Last week, I wrote about my kid in my column. This week, I am keeping it in the family. My cousin-by-marriage is a guy by the name of Owen Glennon. There are three things I know well about the man. 1—He has a dry sense of humor and a wit so sharp, when you talk to him you need to have bandages and a gallon of Mercurochrome nearby. 2—He teaches high-level math at Marist High School and has done it since 1976. But I have one math problem I can stump him with. It’s a simple addition problem but he’ll never solve it. Heck, John Nash from the film “A Beautiful Mind” wouldn’t be able to get this one. Add up all of the income of every student Glennon has helped with their calculus and integers skills in close to 40 years of teaching. That would be an astronomical number. Heck, add up the number of students he has helped put hypotenuses to good uses and I’ll bet that number is staggering, too. 3—He loves cycling. Long-distance cycling. You could probably never add up all the miles his skinny legs have pumped over the decades. A couple of years ago, the man rode 3,200 miles from Anacortes, Wash., to Brunswick, Maine. Glennon, who hails from Orland Park, has ridden across the state of Iowa a dozen times.

IMPRESSIONS By Jeff Vorva

Why anyone would want to ride across Iowa even once is beyond me, but he did it 12 times in the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, which is also known at RAGBRAI, not to be confused the Ames Brothers hit “Rag Mop.” This summer, Glennon is going to use his cycling prowess to be true to his school. He is going to take what, for him, will be a jaunt around the block starting this weekend. Glennon will take off Sunday from upstate New York back to Sweet Home Chicago and figures to ride 1,004 miles to raise money for the Financial Aid Endowment, which helps smart kids whose parents don’t have enough scratch to attend his school. “Owen’s commitment to his students both in and out of the classroom is well known, but this trek takes it to another dimension,” Marist President Brother Hank Hammer said in a news release. “Owen is well aware of the financial challenges that many

of our students’ families face, and he has made a commitment to help them through this remarkable effort.” By the way, in bike terms, ‘hammer’’ means to ride strongly in big gears. But I digress… This event should also be called a Marist-to-Marist trip. The journey starts in Esopus, N.Y., which is the home of the Marist Brothers Retreat and she plans on being back July 12 at the Mt. Greenwood campus. Glennon won’t be taking the superhighways, though. It will take him a couple of weeks as he will go through some of the heart – and armpits – of America and he has an itinerary planned with a lot of back roads and rural towns of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Another challenging math problem: How many items of laundry on clotheslines and old tires on the ground will Glennon see during his back road trek? His to-do list will also include stops at 15 Catholic churches and shrines, including Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Chapel at Marist College, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame, and the Shrine of Christ’s Passion in St. John, Ind. He will stay overnight at several parishes along the route, as well. The longtime mentor talked about “Marist moments” driving him to this ride.

Palos Hills officials happy with draining of the rain By Michael Gilbert Correspondent Heavy rainfall last week forced major flooding and a pair of road closures in nearby Orland Park, but Palos Hills came out of the severe weather relatively unscathed, city officials said. Alderman Mark Brachman (2nd Ward) told the council during the committee meeting last Thursday that more than five inches of rain fell in Palos Hills over the last seven days with the majority coming down June 12-14. Despite the heavy rainfall, it was mostly business as usual in Palos Hills, Brachman said. “There was minor street and yard flooding reported Sunday [June 14] and several homes reported sump pump failures that resulted in basement flooding, but there were no streets that needed to be closed down,” Brachman said. The Village of Orland Park wasn’t as lucky as portions of Southwest Highway and Wolf Road were temporarily closed because of flooding, Public Works Commissioner Dave Weakley said. “We thought our stormwater system actually responded very

Lipinski helped slow Fast Track By Dermot Connolly Staff Reporter President Obama received no support from local Democratic congressmen for his Trade Promotion Authority bill, known as Fast Track Authority, which is one reason why it was voted down by a 302-126 margin recently. Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) has been among the most vocal opponents of the bill, which the Senate passed on May 22 by a vote of 62-37. Lipinski was among 144 Democrats who voted against it. Congressman Michael Quigley (D-5th) is the only Chicago-area Democrat who came out in support of the measure, which would give the administration final authority on any trade agreement signed. Congress would only be able to vote up or down on any agreement negotiated, without making any amendments. Obama has said it would allow the president to negotiate more favorable treaties for the United States, if other countries could be assured that there would be no changes made after the negotiations were completed. “I am definitely opposing it,” said Lipinski recently. “I think Congress should not give up its authority to amend any trade agreement.” “Congress will not be able to amend agreements and should not be giving up so much power to the president,” he continued, noting that if the fast-track legislation is passed, it would be in place for 3-6 years, well into the next administration. “Some people see this as a union issue, but it is more than that. The unions are strongly opposed to it, but so are most manufacturers in Bedford Park, Bridgeview and elsewhere in the 3rd District,” said Lipinski. He said representatives of Taubensee Steel & Wire Co., which has a location in Bridgeview, were in Washington in April to voice their opposition to Fast Track. Bill Hickey, the CEO of Lapham-Hickey Steel in Bedford Park, has also spoken out against the legislation, according to Lipinski. “Going back to NAFTA, look how damaging that was to many manufacturers here,” he said, referring to the North American Free Trade Agreement finalized by President Bill Clinton. He pointed out that “fast track” was used for NAFTA too. Lipinski’s father, former Cong. Bill Lipinski, opposed that treaty, which went into effect in 1994. It is blamed for many U.S. job losses caused by the removal of trade tariffs between the United States, Canada and Mexico. The congressman said the U.S.-Korean Free

Trade Agreement, signed in 2010, also harmed U.S. manufacturing. “We were promised that would create 70,000 jobs, but 60,000 jobs have been lost since then,” he said. “Slightly more U.S. exports go to South Korea now, but we are getting more imports.” Lipinski said Obama wants the fast-track legislation to be approved soon, to enable him to conclude negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, a treaty with 11 other countries, including Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Australia, New Zealand, Brunei, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. “He says this is going to be better than NAFTA, but I don’t believe it,” said the congressman. Congressman Bobby Rush (D-1st) issued a statement on April 29 citing his reasons for opposing the Fast Track bill, HR 1890. “Our recent history has taught us that the trade deals our country has enacted have a negative impact on the American workforce. I believe (the TPP) that is currently being negotiated will only further erode America’s manufacturing jobs, particularly the automobile industry. “ Rush said these trade bills have just served as “nothing more than a tourniquet,” cutting off the ability of the poor to rise to the middle-class. “Therefore, we must be mindful of this lesson and not repeat this mistake again. Our country needs a new balanced trade model that creates more jobs in the United States instead of sending them overseas.” Obama has lobbied many congressmen, asking them to vote in favor of the bill. But Lipinski said he was not among those called. “Probably because I came out against it so early, he knew I wasn’t going to change my mind,” said Lipinski. In fact, the president and congressman have not spoken to each other in years, dating back to Obama’s failed attempt to get Lipinski to vote for the Affordable Care Act in 2010. The president has promised that he will keep Congress informed and up-to-date about the progress of all treaty negotiations, but Lipinski said that is not enough. He said the TPP negotiations are nearly complete, and as a congressman, he has been allowed to see the documents already been drawn up. However, he is not allowed take notes on what he has seen, and no smartphones or cameras are allowed in the top-secret room. “I think the administration should be willing to show the American people what is being negotiated before it is finalized,” he said.

Trustees hoping for healthy outlook at Worth golf course By Sharon L. Filkins Correspondent The Water’s Edge Golf Club in Worth hasn’t always provided good financial news over the years but there may be some ahead. The budget for the club was approved unanimously at the June 16 village board meeting and it represents a chunk of an approximately $10 million village budget that will be presented in the near future. Finance Committee members worked on the overall budget during a special meeting on Tuesday and will continue at a 7 p.m. meeting tonight. The budget for the golf course was presented for approval by Trustee Kevin Ryan, in the absence of Trustee Tedd Muersch, Jr., who is liaison to the village-owned golf course. Muersch was contacted later for his comments on the budget but did not return multiple calls. With an anticipated revenue of $1,602,702 in 2016 and a projected total expenses figure of $1,310,544, the budget presents a fairly healthy financial scenario for the golf club in the coming year. Included in the budget is a loan for $150,000 from Private Bank and Trust for Golf Course Equipment and replacement of computers at Water’s Edge. The loan was also approved at the June 16 meeting. In a previous discussion on the golf course, Mayor Mary Werner said that the existing maintenance equipment was at least 15 years old and was in constant need of repair. “In the big picture, it makes more sense to take out the loan and purchase new equipment than to spend money and time repairing the old equipment.” The loan is a four-year agreement with a 3.25 percent interest rate on each year. The Water’s Edge Golf Club has been operated by Billy Casper Golf (BCG) since 2010. In a presentation to the village board last month, a company spokesperson said “Since we began operating the course, we have battled challenges of weather and declining numbers of golfers, which has been a nationwide occurrence, not just at Water’s Edge. In 2011 there were 37,000 rounds of golf recorded at the club. In the following years, 2013 and 2014, it dropped to 31,000 rounds.” Offering the caveat “It is a weather-driven business,” he added that the club’s performance had been consistently good and that BCG plans to keep it that way. Recent improvements to the club include drainage and storm sewer replacement last year, and the planned purchase of new maintenance equipment and computers and software this year. Officials said the drainage improvements have helped during recent rainy weeks. • The village approved an amendment regarding its regulations on the parking of large vehicles on private property. Under the new guidelines, street parking of large vehicles will be limited to those bearing a Class F license plate. Trustee Rich Dziedzic, explained that anything higher than a Class F Plate cannot be parked

on the street, alley, parkway or public property between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Also, it will be unlawful to park or store any vehicle with an Illinois license plate classification higher than Class H between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. on any property zoned for single family or multiple family residential use. Additional amendments rule that large vehicles such as a bus, tow truck, road tractor, semitrailer, truck tractor or boats and watercraft, not stored on a vehicle designed to haul such boats or watercraft, may not be parked or stored between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. on any property zoned for single family or multiple family residential use; or on any public street, alley, parkway or public property. However, the amended guidelines will allow no more than two large vehicles such as an RV, camper, trailers, motor homes, etc., to be parked on private property. Three vehicles will be allowed on private property if at least 50 percent of the vehicle’s length is located behind the property’s front yard setback line. “We know that our village is largely blue-collar workers and that many of our residents bring their work vehicles home with them,” said Dziedzic. “We are trying to make things as convenient for everyone as we can.” • Dziedzic also introduced, Alex Suleiman, property manager for Elias Miseeh, a prospective business owner, to the board, asking them to consider granting a business license if all requirements were met. Suleiman said businessman Miseeh wants to open a gaming café at 10652 So. Harlem Avenue. He said the facility would offer pre-packaged food, such as sandwiches and snacks in addition to the video terminals. Werner said the village is saturated with businesses featuring video gambling. She questioned Suleiman on why he thought his business would succeed. He responded saying he knows what needs to be done to attract customers. “It would only bring additional revenue to the village,” he said. Dziedzic added that the prospective owner knows there are requirement to be met. “I am only asking the board to consider this,” he said. According to Village Clerk, Bonnie Price, there are currently nine facilities in Worth with video gaming licenses with a limit of five machines are allowed in each facility. In other business, the board approved an ordinance adopting the prevailing wage rates to be paid to laborers, mechanics and other public workers performing construction of public works in the village. This ordinance is approved annually. • Trustee Pete Kats, liaison to Public Works, said he has received calls from residents complaining about water in the ditches near their home. “With all the rain we have had recently, it is only natural that there would be rain in the ditches,’’ he said. “Many of our communities are ditchlined communities, which means the ditches are mainly retention areas where the water drains off primarily into the Cal-Sag channel.”

Gov. Bruce Rauner, shown at a parade earlier this year, made his point about balancing a bad budget in Oak Forest June 8.

Rauner makes a point – actually five points – about battling budget By Dermot Connolly Staff Reporter When Gov. Bruce Rauner gave a speech at Gaelic Park in Oak Forest on June 15, he was met with protests outside from workers and officials from services who fear their state funds will be slashed. But inside, the mood was friendlier as he talked about his five-point ‘turnaround plan’ that he wants the state legislature to implement before he considers tax increases to close the $4 billion gap in the budget that was just passed for the coming year. “We are battling for the future of Illinois,” he told the business leaders and local officials. “Are we going to stay on the path we are on, a long slow decline, or are we going to make changes? This is not about Democrat or Republican. It is about good government vs. (entrenched) insiders.” The new state boss made a reference to some of the protesters outside the building. “Change isn’t easy,” he said. “If you’re not upsetting somebody, you’re not making changes.” Rauner also talked about the potential of the state and this area. “We should be kicking tails in Illinois,” he said. “Business should be booming. Here in the Southland is the best location, we’re at the crossroads of America, with easy access to Chicago and Lake Michigan.’’ Rauner listed his five-point plan of workers comp reform; tort reform; a property tax freeze unless agreed by referendum; term limits for state government; and redistricting reform. He said that Illinois, with New Jersey, has the highest property taxes in the country, and busi-

Slippery When Wet describes itself as the “ultimate Bon Jovi tribute band,” while The B-Street Band is the “original Bruce Springsteen tribute band.” “They might not be well-known here, but they are really good bands,” the mayor said.

ness owners leaving the state consistently point to the taxes and workers comp regulations as the reasons why. “Are we going to protect the political class or the middle class?” he asked. He said that despite what his detractors say, all five points on his plan are “directly linked to the budget.” The event was sponsored by area chamber of commerce officials and Rauner suggested the

chamber members to contact their state representatives and senators to urge them to pass the bills. “Five new bills isn’t much,” he said, considering that 500 bills were already passed this year. “This is all about the budget and fiscal responsibility,” said Rauner, adding that he would be open to a wide range of revenue increases, and getting an infrastructure bill passed quickly, if they were passed.

Now churches need security guards too By Glenn Mollette A faith group in our town recently held a worship event with about 350 plus people in attendance. They expected people from several states and foreign countries including Nigeria, South Africa, Botswana, United Kingdom and Canada. The International group came together in celebration of their Christian faith to worship and recognize academic achievement. Throughout most of the Friday evening worship event and Saturday morning recognition service two armed police officers were located in the main event auditorium. They were wearing uniforms and badges and wearing their pistols. There were also three people carrying concealed pistols. They have permits to carry concealed guns. There has never been any trouble at the yearly event nor was any expected this year. A spirit of worship and recognition of those attending was carried out with a harmonious spirit of unity and love. At any moment a crazed gunman could have entered the place and shot somebody. However, he would unlikely have escaped the auditorium without being wounded or taken out. Sounds kind of weird doesn›t it? In light of last week›s Charleston, South Carolina massacre of nine people it no longer sounds crazy. Churches must now have a strategy plan to protect each other and those who visit. A public prayer meeting or Sunday morning worship event is an easy target to a crazed gunman. Two or three people with automatic weapons could kill dozens of people within a minute or two. One 21 year old lunatic in Charleston, SC killed nine beautiful people as he stood and reloaded his weapon in front of shocked worshipers. We would all be shocked. Don’t be shocked. This is the world in which we live. Sadly, your church will have to employ or ask for volunteer security guards. They need to be properly trained on how to watch for crazy people. It’s not that easy. Who would have suspected a 21 year old sitting under the guise of interest and spiritual concern? You will need to have two or three people in your congregation observing the behavior of other people and willing to tackle someone if the need arises. A trained security guard wearing a gun and stationed in a visible place in your church is essential. One or two licensed people in your church with concealed weapons, willing and able to use them will not hurt either. I can’t believe I am writing this article. I have led worship and spoke publicly in churches for over forty years. Never have I ever feared that our lives might be at risk. Evil has been around since the beginning of the world. Ask people of faith in Iraq, Egypt, or Afghanistan. Thousands have been killed and their churches burned to the ground. The goal of ISIS is to eliminate any person who is not Muslim or who does not celebrate Allah. Even the disciples of Jesus hid behind closed doors for fear of the extreme religious fanatics in their day. While this all sounds grim and dim. People of faith must move on and go forward. We all have to be observant and don’t ever think the following for a moment, “Something like that could never happen in our town.” Glenn Mollette is an American Syndicated Columnist and Author.

Letters to the Editor Will Bennett’s dream turn into a nightmare?

Dear Editor: I read with interest the Reporter article “Inspiration from Orland Park”. I don’t want to throw cold water on Palos Hills Mayor Gerald Bennett and the city leaders’ plans, but I don’t believe the parcel of property at Roberts and 111th street will become a prime location in our city. I hope I am proved wrong. Granted it is one of the busiest intersections in the city and it gets lots of traffic – most of which is going to one of the three churches, Stagg High School or Moraine Valley Community College. Most of the rest are just driving through to get to their destination. And remember that it also has a red light camera that induces many other drivers to avoid the intersection if they can. The city leaders will have their work cut out for them to try and come up with a business plan that will appeal to local residents and also draw folks from out of town. At the present time, my wife and I patronize about 8 to 10 businesses in town – one being a doctor and one being a dentist. We can’t think what type of new business would attract us. Oh! Good luck in getting funds to upgrade the intersection from Cook County. Don C. White Palos Hills

Social media may be helping to decrease abortions

Dear Editor: Good news on the home front for those of us who care about these matters: Since l973 when the Supreme Court voted in favor of Roe vs Wade (a law that legalized abortion)

there has been a string of quiet victories by pro-life people who have enacted laws in state after state that would restrict late-term abortions, regulate the medical aspects of the procedure and require waiting periods and disclosure of fetal development. While far from a complete victory in banning them altogether (as it once was before l982 with doctors losing their licenses if they performed any abortion) it is heartening in the long run that ideas based on morality can once again prevail in the public arena. Not only have pro-life opinions increased since l973 it is among the young that has brought it about. Students for Life (SFL) is found on 800 campuses across the country. According to the Mindszenty Report, the shift occurred in 20l3 when internet search engines (Google, Facebook,etc) advanced an understanding of fetal development. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the steady development of the human fetus. These images were disseminated beginning as early as 2005 to millions of people across the country; and subsequently abortion clinics felt the heat. If they didn’t win there, they went to the courts. But then the judges blocked enforcement of any law regulating abortion. The trends are encouraging because people running for state or national offices have to commit themselves. The abortion rate has declined dramatically from 42 percent since l98l to 5 percent in 20l0 and 20ll. This is a positive sign for those activists who have labored long and hard since 1973 to guarantee the right to be born, thereby regaining a “good” in America. Mildred L. Para Evergreen Park

Some cutting remarks about mowing the lawn Ever since I started to focus on my health, I started wearing a Fitbit watch on my right hand which tracks, among many health related things, my heart rate and how many steps I take each day. The average is 12,000, which is great and helps keep you healthy. But mowing the lawn is, for me anyway, it takes up almost 7,000 steps. That’s a lot of lawn. Mowing your lawn is healthy, but it goes way beyond that for most baby boomers. It is about morality. Righteousness. And the American way! (Yes, Superman did mow his own lawn, albeit with his laser eyes). It’s a matter of self-respect, something I learned from my dad. Mowing your lawn is about self-respect and pride. When you mow your lawn, trim it and keep it nice and clean, you are showing that you care about yourself and your country. Much like people who are kind to small animals are basically good, while the rest are terrible monsters.

The Grapevine By Ray Hanania

My dad believed that keeping your home property looking great was not only a message to the neighbors that we were a moral and righteous family, but that we also had respect for things in life, including our neighborhood. The home wasn’t just a possession. It was a commitment to life and it required attention and care. I know occasionally my lawn can grow and look a little wild, but only because I might be away for more than a week during the summer. But you can see the homes were homeowners just don’t care, don’t have much respect for themselves or for their neighbors either. Their lawns look like forests, with grass growing as high as 12 inches, and dandelions creating scene from the

“Wizard of Oz.” It’s all the time. A mess. An eyesore. They just don’t care and that really offends me. You can’t mow your lawn? Some communities have fines for people who don’t mow their lawns and let them grow like hair at a Metallica concert. The city of Massapequa Park in New York take lawns seriously, so much so you could face $1,000 fine for the first offense and $10,000 for the second. In Texas, a homeowner was jailed. You can’t use the excuse that you are growing wetlands on your property or prairies to compliment the environment. To baby boomers who have been raised with this hardline commitment to self-respect morality, caring for the lawn is an obligation, just like being the father of a family, and to your children. It does have some problems though, like when two baby boomers are living next door to each other and their lawns

“merge.” Battles ensue over whose mower wandered past the property line. Arguments rage over how to cut your lawn. Do you mow from side to side, or do you mow at an angle? The people who mow at an angle think they are better than everyone else. Oops. Isn’t that the whole point? Lawn mowing is more than just a profession for young kids. It’s an art form. I mow the lawn – the pattern is almost always the same. I trim the lawn along the sidewalks, house, gardens, where the edge of the lawnmower can’t really cut. I even cut a gutter along the sidewalk, giving the lawn a carpet-like appearance. So get out there Saturday and mow your lawn. Don’t be a neighborhood schlepper. Because for some of us Amerkins, it’s “Baseball, Mom, Apple Pie and lawn care.” Ray Hanania is an awardwinning former Chicago City Hall reporter. Reach him at rghanania@gmail.com.

Inside the First Amendment

Taking a minute to speak out — to a corner, and the world By Gene Policinski What would you say if you got 60 seconds to speak to the world? At noon recently, on a hot and muggy day in the heart of Washington, D.C., the world heard everything from birthday wishes to a call to national action in education and housing to a reminder that developed nations need to pay attention to violence and poverty in small African nations. And the world heard one person who took the moment to say that he didn’t have any particular cause or group to praise or criticize, but that — in the shadow of a 75-foot marble plaque on the front of the Newseum that contains the First Amendment’s 45 words — he just wanted to speak out on behalf of his right to ... speak out. The occasion had its own hashtag, of course — #TakeA Minute — as in “take a minute” to speak on whatever you wanted, for a maximum of 60 seconds. As ground rules go, pretty minimal. While some walkers at the intersection of Sixth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue decided not to interrupt their day, a good number did, taking to a

podium with a small handheld loudspeaker to be heard over the traffic. For some, the emotion behind their words was palpable, if not always at the upper ends of audible. In part, the June 15 event marked the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta — sealed eight centuries ago on the very day, as a group of English barons forced King John to recognize an initial set of legal rights regarding property, taxes and religious freedom and fair trial by peers. The criticism in vogue today is to note those rights applied only to those elites, and this first agreement was in place for only about 30 days, until annulled by the pope — all true. But as U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, leading British legal experts and others also point out, the document — as much for what it stands for as for what it said — is a part of the foundation of the legal system in both nations, and inspired doctrines that include the right to “speak truth to power.” For one street corner speaker, truth to power came in the form of a question: “Why doesn’t anyone use left-turn signals anymore?”

For a young man — with his parents standing to the side — it was enough to declare a love for pizza and a delight in touring Washington, D.C., sites. But for two speakers, both from African nations, it was one minute each to ask their fellow citizens of the world to stop and consider the health issues, violence and poverty plaguing not just their homelands, but much of the planet. Their words will travel far beyond the corner; video news staff from USA Today’s online news operation and from Voice of America, the independent multimedia broadcaster funded by the U.S. government, were on hand to take their views and do interviews once they departed the free-speech podium. Worth noting is that many more of the speakers were “for” something than “against.” And in today’s contentious world of callous commentary, vitriolic exchanges on the Web and foul-mouthed and anonymous verbal salvos delivered via social media, it was interesting to see people willing to share their private views publicly and in person. The “marketplace of ideas” is a concept that both pre-

dates and was built upon the ideas put to a calfskin declaration in 1215 in Runnymede meadow by a reluctant king who had to — temporarily at least — concede to warring barons that even he had to follow some law. Hawking ones’ views and intellectual wares in that marketplace is today both made easier and more complicated by new technology that makes us the most interconnected society ever. So, if it’s your want, raise a glass of ale, mead or your favorite beverage in salute to those who sealed the Magna Carta some 800 years ago — to the founders of our nation who some 200-plus years in the past found in it the inspiration for our core freedoms — and to those who found time a few days ago to speak their minds aloud at the Newseum’s corner sidewalk. Free speech all around! Let’s give it a go for at least another 800 years!

A Celebration of Hickory Hills

The STREET FAIR

Play, delay, play, delay – it was quite a baseball game IMPRESSIONS

Welcome to the special two page section hailing all things Hickory Hills. This is the second out of By six special sections we do Jeff Vorva on our community and for those who missed the first one on Evergreen Park last week – shame on you! The theme of my column this year is to pick a random year and then report on some of the interesting things that happened in town during June or July of that year. Since the Hickory Hills Street Fair is in June, we’ll go with June. My other criterion is to take a jersey number of one of my kids and this time I am using No. 34, which was the numbers of both my son, T.J., and daughter, Lauren, in basketball a couple of years ago. So, 34 years ago – June, 1981 didn’t have a lot of big stories in town, but there were some fun ones.

What else could go wrong?

My favorite story wasn’t ripped from the front page. It was tucked away in a local column by Eleanor Watson, who wrote the Hickory Hills Report. Watson reported that Conrady Junior High School hosted its graduation dinner dance at

7:30 p.m. on Friday, June 5. There was also a youth league baseball game between the Pirates and Twins and it was bumped back to 5:30 in order for some of the fellas to be able to play their game and attend the big dance. But… The game started and then was halted by a rain delay. When it stopped raining, the umps insisted on continuing the game, dance be damned. Well, there was another delay because the umpire got hit in the neck with a foul ball. Then Twins catcher and future mayor Mike Howley was later hit in the hand for another delay. Another player, Brad Causley, was injured for yet another delay. The bad luck wasn’t just affecting those who were on the field. A mother, Sue Machuga, was injured by a foul ball and had to be taken to a hospital. She was hit on the hand and the bump “swelled up like a golf ball” Watson reported. Back on the field there was another delay for (I can’t make this stuff up, folks) one player having to go to the bathroom. Of course, the originally scheduled seven-

inning game was tied and had to go into extra innings. The Pirates ended up winning the game. The players were able to spend an hour at the dinner dance and went for pizza afterward.

Residency ruckus

The only major news from that time period was that Hickory Hills aldermen voted 6-2 to drop the residency requirement for its police officers. Mayor Erv Kozicki wasn’t pleased “This isn’t as simple as it appears,’’ he said. “You’ll reap what you are doing here tonight.’’ Well, this story didn’t end after everyone went home and to bed. Later in the month, the mayor vetoed the council’s decision and the council then planned to override his veto.

Hopefully the animals appreciated it…

Watson had another story in her Hickory Hills report that Conrday Junior High’s eighth graders took a trip to the Milwaukee Zoo and Great America and the kids showed “exemplary behavior” during the trip.

Neither sleet nor snow nor floods…

Flooding hit the area in the middle of the month and in Hickory Hills, the intersection of 87th Street and 83rd Avenue was nearly impassible, although the Reporter had a photo of a mail truck trying to plow through it.

vironment to be surrounded in.” Strupeck joined Curves through an organization known as SilverSneakers Fitness program that works with insurance companies to provide free gym memberships to senior citizens. It is estimated that approximately 20 percent of senior citizens are eligible for the SilverSneakers health benefit. More than 65 leading Medicare Advantage as well as Medigap plans include SilverSneakers as a benefit. One out of five people 65 and older are eligible for this fitness benefit. Having a Medicare health plan is all most senior citizens need to obtain a SilverSneakers membership. “My daughter had originally told me about the SilverSneakers program,” Strupeck said, “When I first belonged to Curves, I was not a part of it, but as soon as I found out more information about it, I joined it immediately.” Aside from being an active Curves member, Strupeck continues to work as the Director of Arrangements at St. Fabian Church in Bridgeview. For the past 50 years she participated in a variety of activities for the church, including ordering floral arrangements. “As long as I can still do it and my brain is still working just fine, I don’t see any reason why I should quit doing it,” Strupeck joked, “I really enjoy my job there and spending so much time at the church.” Strupeck also continues to grocery shop regularly and spend time outdoors working on her garden. “Since my carpal tunnel surgery in August, my gardening days have slightly subsided; however, I do plan to continue working on it again as soon as I can, and until then my daughter comes over to maintain my garden for me,” she said. Strupeck still drives and admits getting out and going to the grocery store still counts as a form of exercise. And she influences others. “Viola is truly a positive inspiration that age should never be a reason for slowing you down,” Vrotney said.

A Celebration of Hickory Hills

The STREET FAIR

Growing up with the Street Fair By Danielle Van Witzenberg For Southwest Regional Publishing

To heck with tech Photo by Kelly White

The Little Free Library in Hickory Hills opened up last year in front of City Hall.

New Little Free Library set to bring ‘humanity back into community’ By Kelly White From Aug. 21, 2014 In an era of technology, Hickory Hills is taking a step back and opening up its first Little Free Library. The Little Free Library, displayed outside of the Hickory Hills City Hall at 8652 W 95th Street, debuted at last Thursday’s city council meeting. The little blue schoolhouse-shaped box, decorated with watermelon decals, stands at the doors of city hall building and is filled with books for anyone to enjoy. It’s a take-a-book-return-a-book gathering place where neighbors can share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book or two and bring back another book of their own to share with the community. They are also referred to as community book exchanges, book trading posts and pop-up libraries. Described by Annette Armstrong, director of the Green Hills Library, as a do-it-yourself project, the Little Free Library is a tough competitor alongside the digital age. “It really brings a sense of humanity back into the community,” she said at the city council meeting. The Little Free Library belongs to everyone and you do not need a library card to have access to the books. Neighbors, friends and even people just passing by may use the library that offers a way to share physical books. Residents are encouraged to take books, share books and give books. If a resident sees something they would like to read, they may simply take it from the Little Free Library. When finished with the book, the reader is encour-

aged to leave a special note inside of the paperback book so future readers can see who previously read the same book and what they thought of it. Sharing books is also encouraged. Donating books to the library is another way local community members can contribute. Any books in your home, including books a reader would like to recommend to other readers, childhood favorites and books that teach and intrigue, can be dropped off daily at the Little Free Library. This is the first Little Free Library in Hickory Hills, however, Mayor Mike Howley would like to open up more. “I’ve seen the Little Free Libraries in the Oak Park community after Annette had spoken to me about the concept and I realized it is a really good idea,” he said, “People passing by them were gathering and stopping to take books.” The Little Free Library idea was popularized in Hudson, Wisconsin in 2009 when Todd Bol mounted a wooden container designed to look like a school house on a post on his lawn as a tribute to his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. “These Little Free Libraries promote the love of reading and build a sense of community,” Armstrong said, “We would like to eventually add other informative pieces of information into the Little Library, as well, including newsletters and other local community information that will be beneficial to residents.” Armstrong and members of the Green Hills Library will be visiting the Little Library outside of city hall monthly to drop off new books. Palos Heights currently has two Little Free Libraries in their municipality, one stationed at 123rd and Harlem and one at Lake Katherine, 7402 Lake Katherine Drive.

Paurazas marks 60 years in priesthood From April 23, 2015 Rev. Peter Paurazas marked 60 years in the priesthood on Saturday, May 2, at St. Patricia Church in Hickory Hills. Ordained in May,1955 at Mundelein by Samuel Cardinal Stritch, Paurazas has served as an Associate Pastor at St. Joseph (South Chicago) and at lmmaculate Conception (Brighton Park) before becoming Pastor of St. Adrian in Marquette Park and St. Rene Goupil in Clearing. ln addition he has taught at St.Francis DeSales High School from 1960-66 and at Maria High School from 1966-92. Paurazas (who has one sister, Cecilia) is the son of lgnatius

One of the longest-running events in the area is the Hickory Hills Street Fair and Fest. The 37th running of the event takes place Sunday and at least one resident has a fond memory of the inaugural event. City Clerk Dee Catizone has a big hand in running the show but she remembers attending the event more than three decades ago. “As a lifelong resident of Hickory Hills, I can remember attending the first Street Fair with my mom and dad,” she said. “My parents would visit with their friends and we kids would enjoy the day with our friends.” Now that she’s all grown up… “I like walking down the street and seeing old friends that I haven’t seen since last year and watching their families grow,” she said. Just as the Street Fair has grown over the years. This year, the fair gets rolling from 11:30 a.m.to 3:30 p.m. Sunday on Roberts Road from the 9100 block to the 9400 block. There will be rides and attractions at Kasey Meadow Park. Tickets for the rides and attractions can be purchased the day of the event at 91st Place and Roberts Road. Amusements will include the swing ride, Ferris wheel, monster truck bounce and giant slide. There will also be more than 100 different arts and crafts vendors in the street. There will also be food and entertainment with a beer tent available. Other attractions available at the fair will be bingo and a car cruise. Bingo is from noon to 6 p.m. The car cruise will be held at the bottom of the hill in Kasey Meadow Park.

Kids enjoy the Hickory Hills Street Fair as much as adults. There will be an award given out after the cruise for Best in Show. Mayor Mike Howley, who last year was a caller in the bingo tent, said he enjoys returning to the event each year.

“I like the fact that you see so many families spending the day together and enjoying the event” said Howley “I like the friendly, relaxed atmosphere and the great variety of food and homemade crafts.”

Cars and unique bird houses can be found at The Hickory Hills Street Fair.

SCHOOLS & COMMUNITY

Moraine’s fitness center bulks up By Kelly White Correspondent

Moraine Valley Community College’s Heath, Fitness and Recreation Center is a little more than a year old and is exceeding expectations, according to officials The HFRC center located at 9000 W College Parkway in Palos Hills, held its grand opening in March, 2014 and has since seen an increase in memberships from the original 1,457 that first spring semester to 2,210 this spring. “We are already projecting an estimated 2,800 memberships by the end of year 2016,” Mike Schneider, director of campus recreation, said at Wednesday night’s board meeting. “Initially we were targeting for 2,000 memberships by this time of year and we have already exceeded that number.” Schneider reported over 5,700 different students visited the building since its grand opening, totaling over 80,000 in returning visits of those same students in a one-year period. Full-time students compiled the majority of students, averaging in at 75 percent, with parttime students mking up the other 25 percent. Student memberships are not the only form of memberships that have grown since last spring. “We offer a couple different membership

choices, including community members, community families and Moraine Valley employees, spouses and families,” Schneider said, “We did not expect so many memberships from the community families’ category and it is continuing to grow.” Community families include a family membership for members in the college’s district for the cost of $100 a month. They make up 365 memberships of the 2,210. There are 1,560 solo community memberships for $42 a month and 285 MVCC employees, spouses and family memberships. “Right now, Palos Hills’ residents and residents from about a five-mile stretch surrounding Palos Hills make up the majority of our community and community family memberships,” Schneider said. Advertising may be an issue as the radius of people from outlying communities may not be expanding, according to Trustee Eileen O’Sullivan. Schneider told her the college has done a lot and continues to advertise through flyers, mailers and the new installation of the FitRec App that can be downloaded on any iPhone or Android device. A survey was completed by all HFRC members in March weighing the pros and cons

of the center, and Schneider said the lack of parking was the main drawback as to why people refuse to join or fail to come more often. After the recent graduation, parking has become less of an issue, he said. Although parking may be causing a hiccup for the recreation center, it is definitely not showing in any of the building’s statistics. The Learn to Swim Program at the center for beginning swimmers has grown from 33 children during the spring, 2014 opening to more than 100 children this spring. The summer camp number also increased from 28 children in the summer of 2014 to 55 this summer. There are also 12 personal trainers in the facility that have served 130 members since the grand opening. O’Sullivan believes membership continues to grow because of the month-to-month membership provided. “A lot of gym memberships charge a large cancellation fee,” she said. Another perk of the HFRC is the number of students employed from the college. “We have employed over 100 students so far,” Schneider said, “A lot of positions that take on are entry level positions but there are also growth opportunities that can turn into management.”

Sarah Dynia

Oak Lawn’s Dynia is McAuley’s first Greenhouse Scholar Sarah Dynia, and Oak Lawn resident who recently graduated, has been named the Mother McAuley’s first Greenhouse Scholar. Greenhouse Scholars come from a non-profit education organization that provides personal and financial support to highperforming, under-resourced college students. Dynia is one of 30 students, selected from a pool of more than 300 candidates, to receive this distinction. With a 4.32 grade point average, Dynia was the recipient of numerous merit-based donor-sponsored scholarships. She will attend Northwestern University in the fall and plans to study biomedical engineering. “Sarah is a shining example of the young women Mother McAuley seeks to attract, educate and enrich through exceptional learning, service, and spiritual growth opportunities,” said Mary Acker Klingenberger ’75, president of Mother McAuley. “An outstanding, well-rounded student with a strong focus on her future, the stage is set for Sarah to impart the lifetime advantage of her McAuley education on those in her community and beyond.” As a McAuley student, Dynia balanced her academic success with numerous leadership roles. In addition to her involvement in the National Honors Society and the Catherine McAuley Honors Scholars, which recognizes and rewards students who demonstrate superior academic achievement, she served as president of

Women in Science and Engineering, co-president of the Junior Classical League and captain of the Science Bowl team – the only all-girls’ high school team to compete at the National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C. She also is a member of the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership program which seeks to develop a global community of youth and volunteers to a life dedicated to leadership, service and innovation. Outside McAuley, Sarah founded a nonprofit called Stuffed Love, which sends hand-stitched heart pillows to those in need of hope and love. Her efforts have impacted over 3,500 individuals. “We are thrilled to welcome Sarah into the Greenhouse Scholars Class of 2019,” said Pete Burridge, chief executive officer, Greenhouse Scholars. “In addition to Sarah’s demonstrated academic excellence and the numerous leadership roles she held at Mother McAuley, we were particularly impressed that she has made giving back to her community a priority by starting a non-profit to provide comfort to others. This relentlessness and focus on community epitomize what a Greenhouse Scholar is. We look forward to being a part of her journey through college and into her career.’’ As a candidate for the Greenhouse Scholars program, Sarah endured a rigorous selection process focused on academic achievement, service to community, demonstrated leadership skills, and financial need. —Mother McAuley High School

Bulletin Board SOUTH SUBURBAN COLLEGE Open auditions coming for ‘Play On!’ at South Suburban College The PAC Rats Theatre Company of South Suburban College will hold open auditions for the Rick Abbot comedy, Play On! The auditions will take place Wednesday and Thursday, July 8 and 9, beginning at 7 p.m. Readings will be held in the Kindig Performing Arts Center on the college’s main campus, 15800 S. State St., South Holland. Director Catherine Hundt of Thornton, will cast 10 ensemble actors of all colors and sizes, ranging in age from 18 to 70 plus. Hundt is planning evening rehearsals. Performances are scheduled for September 18, 19, 25, 26, 27, 2015. Auditions are open to all community members as well as SSC students. Appointments and prepared audition materials are not necessary. Those auditioning will read from scenes, which will be available at the time of auditions. Copies of the script are on reserve in the college’s library. Everyone is welcome to attend both auditions. Those auditioning must

also be prepared to list all conflicts with the rehearsal schedule. In addition to acting talent, the PAC Rats are also looking for volunteers who want to try their hands backstage. Amateur dramatics takes a good-natured ribbing in this behind-the-scenes comedy about the perils of community theatre. A theatre troupe is mounting of a local playwright’s original murder mystery. With no royalty fees to pay, the company thinks it got a great deal until the playwright continues to interrupt the rehearsal process with constant rewrites and changes. To add to the problems, the cast and crew are starting to get on each other’s nerves. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show with bickering actors, bumbling crew and backstage romances in full swing. Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is opening night where anything that can go wrong does. For character descriptions, rehearsal schedule and more information, visit the Kindig Performing Arts Center’s website, learn.ssc.edu/theatre, or email ssctheatre@ssc.edu.

Talerico to open retail bakery near Argo HS Summit’s Talerico-Martin bakery, which has been selling baked goods wholesale to convenience stores for By Bob Bong about three decades, will open a retail bakery next week at 7334 W. 63rd St., across the street from Argo High School. “We will have a full line of products,” said Gary Willard, assistant general manager. “Doughnuts, cookies, brownies, cakes and pastries.” He said the store would have a full coffee bar as well as offer snacks and juices. Willard said owner Bob Talerico has spared no expense in opening the retail operation. “It’s a pretty decent setup,” he said. “Bob is treating this nice. It’s his baby.” Willard said the store scheduled a soft opening Monday. “We’re going to open the door and see who comes in,” he said. “We’ll have a grand opening in a month or so. We want to get any kinks worked out first.” Willard said customers would eventually be able to order cakes online and have them made any way they like. “A customer will be able to have their face on the cake, if they want,” he said. Store hours will be from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.

What are your excuses for not investing? We all make excuses. Most of the time, they’re pretty harmless. But you could be hurting yourself if you make excuses for not taking action in some areas — and one of those areas is investing. Not investing, or not investing enough, can have serious consequences. In fact, a lot of people are poorly prepared financially for retirement. Consider these figures from the Federal Reserve: The median retirement account value for individuals between 35 and 44 is just $42,700; for people 55 to 64, the corresponding figure is $103,000. These figures are frighteningly low, especially when retirement can easily last two or three decades. In short, you need to invest. So, what’s stopping you? Here are some common excuses: • “I’ll do it later.” The longer you wait before you start investing, the less time you have to accumulate money, and the less likely it may be that you’ll achieve your goals, such as a comfortable retirement lifestyle. If you haven’t begun investing, do it today. • “I don’t have enough money to invest.” The cost of living is unquestionably high, and you may feel that you have just enough money to pay your bills

CROSSWORD Answers

ing can produce positive results. • “I don’t know where to begin.” If you work for a company that provides a retirement plan such as a 401(k) or something similar, you’ve already got a great place to begin. You only need to sign up for the plan and start deferring a part of your salary, and you’re an investor. It’s also quite easy to open an IRA, another popular retirement savings account. In any case, if you have doubts about how to get started investing, you will find it valuable to meet with a qualified investment professional. Don’t let excuses get in the way of developing good investment habits. With time, determination and effort, you can overcome many of the obstacles you thought prevented you from becoming a full-fledged investor.

before your next paycheck. But if you look for ways to economize, you may well be able to free up even a little money to invest each month. And then, when your salary goes up, you can increase the amount you invest. • “I’ll have Social Security.” Social Security benefits generally account for only about 40% of an individual’s pre-retirement income, according to the Social Security Administration. Unless you want to scale back your lifestyle greatly during your retirement years, you’ll need to supplement Social Security with your employer-backed retirement account, such as a 401(k), plus your own investments, such as those that go inside an IRA. • “Can I really invest enough money for my retirement?” Consider this: Going back to 1990, if you had invested $10,000 in the stocks that make up the S&P 500, and simply held on to these stocks, you would have amassed more than $76,000 after taxes by the end of 2013. Of course, past performance of the market is not a guarantee of how it will perform in the future, and the S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and is not meant to depict an actual investment — but this illustration still shows that patient, diligent, long-term invest-

hook on the back of my capris after removing my undies. When I stood up and bent over for the picture, they unzipped, exposing my backside. There are no words! I was beyond embarrassed. Since then, I’ve been cruising through life, choosing not to be exposed involuntarily but doing so with the intent of helping others avoid my pitfalls. My memoir, “Becoming a Mother While Losing My Own,” is filled with my shortcomings and as long as I’m breathing, I’m susceptible to future error. That’s just life, we’re not perfect people.

As of late, I’ve been picturing myself differently. How do you identify with who you are? The previous Washington state NAACP leader, Rachel Dolezal recently came under an avalanche of scrutiny for portraying herself as an African American.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Those who want to play the game this week need to get us their guesses by SATURDAY night because members of the WHATIZIT Board of Directors are heading to an important leadership convention. None of them are actually going to stay awake at any of the seminars, but they are looking forward to the free lunch. Anyway, last week’s photo was the bottom of a theater or stage curtain, hence the break-a-leg clue. Bernadette Pratl of Evergreen Park was the first to come up with the correct answer and let us know that the bottom is called bullion fringe. Others who were stage-struck were Worth’s Theresa and George Rebersky and Russ Martin, Chicago Ridge’s George Oswald and Kathy and Dan Higgins, Oak Lawn’s Steve Rosenbaum and Evergreen Park’s Jan Merchantz and Crystal Olson. Incorrect answers were fringe from a chair, sofa, foot rest and the fringe on the Shriners flying carpet go-kart. This week’s clue: Take your best shot guessing this one -- this article of clothing dates back to the mid-1500s. Send those guesses by SATURDAY night to thereporter@comcast. net with WHATIZIT in the subject line. Don’t forget your name and hometown. And did we mention the deadline is SATURDAY night?

Have you ever been exposed? Uh, yeah, that would be a yes for me! Back before my husband, Don, and I had two little beauties, we took exotic vacations on cruise ships. Having been married on a Norwegian cruise liner in Hawaii, cruising became our staple vacation choice. We’ve taken at least five. If you’ve ever cruised, then you know the main dining room requires a little sprucing up for dinner. That’s what I thought I was doing when I put on my black, fitted, sleeveless sweater and dressy khaki, nylon capris with a pair of black pumps. “Ugh. I can’t wear them.” I said to Don. “You can see them, can’t you?” I was referring to my britches. My capris fell on my hips in a way that revealed my undies. “Take ‘em off” said Don. It seemed like an easy enough solution. “Okay.” I replied. And I went commando. During dinner, a photographer visited our table. “Would you like to take a picture?” she asked. I am a photo fanatic. If there’s a camera near me, I’m grinning. “Sure.” I said going into a model like pose. Don interjected. “Come over here,” he said. We were sitting across the table from each other and he wanted to be included. I stood up, walked behind his chair while he remained seated and leaned my face beside his.

2015 ALL-AREA SOFTBALL TEAM

Sky(lor) high POY Hilger was an offensive force FIRST TEAM SKYLOR HILGER, Shepard, DH/SS, Jr. * A versatile and talented athlete who took her game to a new level this season, Hilger produced explosive offensive performances and timely hitting throughout the 2015 campaign while helping the Astros compile a program-best 23-10 record. She was named to the Class 4A All-State team and garnered All-South Suburban Conference Red accolades for the third consecutive season in addition to being chosen as this paper’s Player of the Year. Already committed to DePaul University, Hilger batted a sizzling .543 with 69 hits and respective slugging and on-base percentages of .929 and .560. She belted nine homers and had a hand in 105 runs (53 scored, 52 driven in, including 20 twoout RBI). Hilger collected 16 other extra-base hits, stole 17 bases and fanned just seven times in 127 at-bats. She also made a smooth transition from second base to shortstop as she handled all but 10 of her 153 total fielding chances without error; Hilger finished with 75 putouts and 68 assists and took

part in seven double plays. Top offensive games for her were a 5-for-6, seven-RBI effort in an April doubleheader versus Bloom Township; a 4-for-5 performance against Riverside Brookfield that featured a homer and two RBI; four RBI in a win over TF South; and two homers opposite Hillcrest. During the winter season Hilger is a talented gymnast. CAROLINE ANDRADE, Evergreen Park, 2B, Sr. * Both offensively and defensively, Andrade shone for the Mustangs in her second varsity season while helping them to a Class 3A regional championship. She batted .421 with 45 hits, 18 of which were good for extra bases. Those included six homers and four triples. Andrade also drove in 33 runs, scored 24 more and struck out a mere six times in 107 at-bats. Season highlights included 3-for-3 outings against both Oak Lawn and Argo. ZARIYA GONZALEZ, Marist, P, Sr. * Not only did Gonzalez again demonstrate her abilities in the pitching circle and as a hitter, she helped the RedHawks wind

up as state champions in Class 4A for the second time in four years. Her final prep campaign featured a glossy 28-4 record, 1.35 earned-run average and 217 strikeouts in 191 innings. Two of Gonzalez’s top performances came on the biggest stage -- she shut out Lincoln-Way East in the title contest after giving up just one run in Marist’s statesemifinal victory over Oak Park-River Forest. Her pitching alone would have been enough for Gonzalez to bag all-area recognition, but she complemented her arm with a potent stick as she batted .379 with 44 hits -- 14 were of the extra-base variety, including four homers -- 41 runs and 37 RBI. She posted a .421 on-base percentage. Some of Gonzalez’s regular-season high points included 14 strikeouts against Providence Catholic, a homer and three RBI versus Joliet Catholic Academy and a four-hit shutout of Marian Catholic. BREANNA GRAFFEO, Shepard, 3B, Sr. * The Astros captain and three-time All-South Suburban Conference Red selection worked extra hard in preparation for the 2015 season as she

Technology is a beautiful thing except when it’s not. And as we all know there are plenty of instances when the latter is true. It occurs if Internet service is down, the computer is frozen or websites aren’t properly updated. What’s the purpose of having a site if the most recent entry on it is 18 months old? The great part about living in a computer age, of course, is that we can instantly be in contact with someone halfway around the world without directory assistance or the need for a loan to pay the long-distance charges. I once bought an item from someone in Australia whose existence would have remained a mystery to me if it hadn’t been for eBay. I’d also be a lot more financially well off minus that famous auction site, but that’s fodder for another day. There’s no denying the positive impact email and other directcommunication avenues have had on the workplace. No longer does everyone have to visit their offices daily for eight hours or more to perform their jobs effectively. Reporters, for example, can write and send stories from anywhere — this one is coming from my dining room. But along with the good comes the bad, which describes many things said and done through the use of technological devices. How many online stories that invite reader feedback become breeding grounds for morons? Differences of opinion are fine, but it always helps to have at least a couple of viable brain cells guiding one’s fingers across a keyboard. From the comments I’ve read over the years that are attached to even the most innocuous news items, I’ve come to a few conclusions: * The working-brain-cell suggestion has been ignored en masse. * An awful lot of folks slept soundly during grade-school English classes. * The least tolerant people known to mankind reside at the extreme end of either conservatism or liberalism. * Few individuals are as interesting as they believe themselves to be. That last point cannot be emphasized too strongly. Because of our high rate of self-absorption, we humans tend to weigh in on everything that crosses our path, important or not, and expect others to be captivated by our musings. While that holds true when matters are being handled by highly trained journalistic professionals, in the hands of novices such random ramblings rarely create positive results. As an illustration, let me offer up any one of myriad tweets. Twitter is a technological phenomenon for which there is no logical explanation. As I’ve mentioned to countless associates ever since Twitter became popular, if there was a way to avoid knowing what I was doing at a given moment, I’d gladly travel down that path.

SUMMER BASEBALL ROUNDUP

The times are a changin’ By Ken Karrson Sports Editor

Change is inevitable regardless of the subject being discussed. While summer and baseball have been seamlessly linked for years, at the high school level modification is becoming the watchword. A couple local programs, Stagg and Evergreen Park, have decided to forgo summer-league play in 2015 although the latter may take part in a tournament at Lockport. And even some of the coaches who are

“Travel [ball] used to be for the elite players, guys [who were] going to play big-time college baseball. Now it’s for anybody who’s willing to sign a check.” — Chicago Christian baseball coach Eric Brauer continuing to field teams have performed alterations.

POY Continued from page 1 campaign with a bang -- a steal of home came against Bloom Township and Graffeo hit .533 with 14 RBI in her first 30 atbats. Her best game was a 5-for5, four-RBI showing in an April rout of Hillcrest. Graffeo had two of the Astros’ four hits in their 13-inning, season-ending loss to Hinsdale Central in a Class 4A sectional contest. JENNA HAASE, Evergreen Park, C, Sr. * Haase contributed in a measurable way for the Mustangs both at the plate and behind it as Evergreen Park won three times in the postseason and lost a Class 3A sectional final by just one run. Haase batted a scorching .505 with 51 hits in 101 at-bats, 44 RBI and 33 runs. Included among her output were 14 extrabase hits, five of which cleared the fence and five others that went for triples. An All-South Suburban Conference Red pick, Haase slugged a game-winning two-run homer against Oak Lawn in May and banged a twoRBI triple versus Richards that allowed the Mustangs to extend the Bulldogs to 12 innings in another conference contest. SARA KIZIAK, Richards, P, Jr. * Last year’s South Suburban Conference Red Player of the Year served as a tireless and competitive workhorse for a Bulldogs squad that had its share of offensive challenges. As Richards coach Julie Folliard attested, Kiziak demonstrated grit by posting solid pitching numbers again despite having to settle for a 16-16 record. She finished with a 2.77 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 200 innings while striking out more than 11 times as many batters as she walked (174-15). An all-conference selection and National Honor Society member, Kiziak also made a big impact as the team’s leadoff hitter. She finished with the Bulldogs’ second-highest average (.404) and topped Richards with 20 RBI. Kiziak scored 25 runs, fanned just three times and was successful on all five of her stolen-base attempts. KATIE KRZUS, Sandburg, 1B, Sr. * One of the driving forces behind another respectable Eagles squad, Krzus’ performance at the dish and in the field helped her team amass a 23-14 record and capture a Class 4A regional championship. Krzus averaged .471 over 33 games with 49 hits, 34 runs, 29 RBI and respective slugging and on-base percentages of .654 and .509. She included 13 doubles and two homers among her hits, swiped four bases and whiffed only three times in 104 at-bats. One of the round-trippers was delivered in Sandburg’s season-ending 4-3 loss to Mother McAuley in the Class 4A Richards Sectional semifinal. To get there the Eagles beat the Bulldogs 7-0 in a regional-title game behind Krzus’ 4-for-4 performance that featured a double and two runs scored. She was also rock solid defensively throughout the year as she recorded 241 putouts and 11 assists while compiling a .988 fielding percentage. MIA LOYA, Oak Lawn, P, Jr. * One of the anchors of the Spartans’ pitching staff, Loya went 9-6 with a 1.86 ERA and 100 strikeouts in 98 innings. She also registered a save for Oak Lawn, which won a Class 4A regional championship. Loya threw complete games to defeat TF South (eight strikeouts), Richards (11 strikeouts, one walk, four hits over eight innings), Argo twice (nine and six strikeouts) and De La Salle (eight strikeouts) during the regular season and then went the distance versus RiversideBrookfield while chalking up eight more strikeouts as the Spartans clinched their regional crown. Loya also tossed a complete game and fanned eight in an April loss to Eisenhower. Her final outing of the season was against eventual 4A kingpin Marist and Loya hung tough as she held the RedHawks to six hits and struck out five in a 3-0 setback. MADISON NAUJOKAS, Marist, SS, Jr. * One of the many driving offensive forces behind the RedHawks’ run to the Class 4A championship, Naujokas put together another solid season for Marist as she collected 63 hits while constructing a .441 average and .484 on-base percentage. Naujokas went deep nine times, slammed nine doubles

in 23 runs, scored that same number herself and belted nine doubles while also playing credible defense at the hot corner. Rogers had an RBI in Marist’s supersectional triumph over Downers Grove South and accounted for the go-ahead run versus Oak Park-River Forest in the Class 4A semifinal clash, which the RedHawks captured by a 2-1 count. A regular-season high point was a 3-for-3, three-RBI effort in a 10-4 rout of Providence Catholic. JALYN STEPNEY, Shepard, DH, Jr. * An All-South Suburban Conference Red choice, Stepney was one of the area’s top offensive threats as she supplied the Astros with clutch hitting to augment her dependable defense at shortstop. Stepney compiled a .963 fielding percentage as she was guilty of just seven errors in 190 total chances. She had 160 putouts, 23 assists and took part in nine double plays. Stepney’s bat work led to a .413 average, 45 hits, 12 homers, an .853 slugging percentage and .480 on-base mark. Complementing those statistics were 48 RBI, 32 runs and 12 doubles.

Baseball

Continued from page 1 honor your other commitments [on off days].’ If it’s only one or two times a week [I need them], they know they’ll play.” DiFoggio’s shift in philosophy doesn’t prevent him from thinking about a questionable future for the high school version of the sport. “I won’t be surprised if in five years summer ball [as we now know it] is basically gone,” he said. Chicago Christian coach Eric Brauer is a bit more generous in his outlook but shares DiFoggio’s belief that summer ball’s days in a high school setting are numbered. “I’d say [it’s gone] within the next 10 years,” Brauer said. Travel baseball teams have stolen much of the high schools’ thunder. Brauer, who played collegiately at Valparaiso University, said he was involved with travel ball for one season as an athlete and later coached it for two years. He noted a big difference between then and now. “Travel used to be for the elite players, guys [who were] going to play big-time college baseball,” Brauer said. “Now it’s for anybody who’s willing to sign a check. Travel [balls]’s watered down, but people think it’s a big deal and pay big money for it. If you follow the money, there’s always a business that’ll be glad to take it.” The big problem, in Brauer’s opinion, is that travel baseball often emphasizes individual accomplishments over those of the team, much like the national basketball showcases for high school players do. While Brauer admitted team considerations don’t always have to take precedence, he feels there’s a better team-player balance found at the prep level. Interestingly, Brauer’s not-so-optimistic forecast for summer ball comes at a time when his Knights have “established ourselves as being very competitive.” Annually the smallest school in the area league of which it is a member, Christian long ago showed that it belonged with the big boys. The most recent evidence was offered by victories over Romeoville (9-3), Reavis (8-2), Tinley Park (8-3) and Richards (12-2). The Knights did lose 7-0 to St. Rita in the early going, but six of the Mustangs’ runs were unearned and four of those were plated in the sixth inning. “As a general rule, we’ll play anybody,” said Brauer, whose club last faced off with St. Rita in the summer of 2008. “One of our assistants said, ‘It’s no longer embarrassing to lose to the small school in the summer league.’ I think we’ve earned the respect of the other teams in the league.” Christian has done that while making sure to always share the talent pool with the Knights’ other sports programs. In June, for instance, the baseball team usually plays around 2 p.m., giving multiple-sport athletes the chance to attend football-related activities later in the afternoon and basketball in the evening. “We coordinate it all and we get good attendance,” Brauer said. “It’s tough for us to compete if we’re missing three or four guys.” Among the recent contributors for the Knights are two players, junior-to-be Jacob Bulthuis and senior-to-be Bobby Schaaf, who didn’t see much action in the spring. Bulthuis, in fact, split his time between the varsity and sophomore squads. Given a fresh opportunity both have excelled thus far — Bulthuis went 9-of-16 through five games while Schaaf was batting .450. Veteran Dan Vos also boasted a .450 average and Henry Light, who played sophomore ball as a freshman, hit safely in five of his first 12 at-bats. “We’ve hit the ball reasonably well and not had trouble scoring,” Brauer said. “Every summer inevitably somebody steps up and gets hot and plays a lot.” Brauer used former Knights standout Sean O’Meara as an illustration. After not playing varsity ball as a freshman, O’Meara did very well in the summer before his sophomore year. From there he became a three-year regular and eventually an all-area selection. Christian is seeking a seventh straight winning season in the summer.

SHEPARD

DiFoggio is once again having the Astros swing wooden bats during summer play, something he did for the first time back in 2004. Considering he lost seven guys from his 2015 roster who will play college baseball next season and is relying rather heavily on younger athletes, that strategy might not seem like the best alternative. But so far it’s been good for Shepard, which split its first six games. One of the victories was a 3-1 verdict over Morton on Friday in the aforementioned woodenbat event, where every participating team is employing DiFoggio’s typical strategy for four games. The Astros also defeated Eisenhower (5-1) and Richards (10-7) while falling to Marist (8-1), TF South (11-1) and Oak Lawn (6-5). “To be honest, we could very easily be 5-1,” DiFoggio said. He noted that the Spartans prevailed in the bottom of the seventh in that matchup and the Astros were locked in a 1-all tie with the Rebels through five innings. What makes even a 3-3 ledger impressive is that it’s been compiled with assistance from several sources. “I’ve had summer tryouts in the past [and] 10 years ago we had a hard group of 15 [players],” DiFoggio said. “The influx of travel ball has really put a dent into this summer team [so] the roster is a little more fluid now. I’ve opened it up to a lot of freshmen who are going to be sophomores. “I’m getting an opportunity to see a lot of young kids. I’m learning about [them] and they’re getting a lot of experience.” While those sophomores-to-be are new to varsity play, they’re no strangers to success. Shepard’s freshman club went 23-4 in the spring. “They just don’t know how to lose,” DiFoggio said. “They’re fundamentally sound and very competitive.” Among the early headliners are pitchers Omar Samad, Jeff Robinson and Trevor Lorick. Samad needed only 75 pitches to defeat Morton, Robinson threw 48 pitches while keeping TF South in check over the first five frames and Lorick tossed 90 pitches in 6 2/3 stanzas versus Oak Lawn. Eric Breusch is yet another candidate for mound duty and Nick Dombrowski has already homered despite using a wood bat. That round-tripper sparked the Astros’ comeback from an early 6-0 deficit against Richards. “It’s a great start,” DiFoggio said. “We told them it’s delayed gratification — we won two games last summer and then 24 in the spring. We said, ‘Don’t be concerned about your average because you’re swinging wood.’ “Part of it is getting them to realize you need to generate runs with your legs. And it also puts pressure on your pitching and defense to have to perform [well].”

ST. LAURENCE

Rain gummed up the Vikings’ early schedule as only one game got played before the current week. The outing was a good one, though, as St. Laurence romped past Marian Catholic 10-0 by scoring four times in the third and sixth innings and twice in the fifth. Veteran pitcher Anthony Rios limited the Spartans to

one hit and struck out four during a three-inning stint and all-area first baseman Tommy Farrell contributed two hits and an RBI. What made the win even more satisfying to Vikings coach Pete Lotus was that several youngsters lent a hand to it as well. Chipping in were juniors-to-be Jake Lotz (two hits, including a two-run single), Rob Chayka (two-run single, sacrifice fly) and Juan Escamilla (RBI triple) plus incoming freshman Matt McCormick, who doubled and stroked a two-run single. Lotus thinks the latter is “going to be a pretty special player.” “I’m very encouraged, especially since most of those guys weren’t around last year playing varsity,” Lotus said. “They’re a good group.” Lotus referred to Marian, which played for a Class 4A sectional championship in the spring, “a pretty solid team” thereby making St. Laurence’s success all the more notable. But the Vikings’ junior-to-be newcomers are used to winning as they went 27-5 and took second in the Chicago Catholic League Blue in their sophomore season. As is the case with just about every high school squad in the summer, the Vikings will sport different looks depending on player availability on a given day. Lotus termed it “certainly part of the deal,” but he’d rather have that scenario than be without summer baseball altogether. “I do believe it would be bad,” Lotus said when told what a couple of his coaching peers thought lies in store for high school programs in the near future. “So much of baseball is learning to play together and [building] chemistry. I don’t know how you gain that otherwise. I like having that opportunity in the summer — that’s where you get things done.” But wouldn’t running regular in-depth practices, like Stagg’s Matt O’Neill has chosen to do this summer, pretty much accomplish that goal? Lotus said it could, but he prefers seeing his guys perform in a more competitive setting. “[Non-game situations are] a hard way to prepare,” he said. “Many conversations we have as coaches is [talking about] the reality of what college coaches want to see [from players]. That’s the thing that gets lost a lot of times — things you do to win baseball games aren’t [always] taught at the lower levels [prior to high school].”

RICHARDS

The Bulldogs have been slow out of the gate this summer, although their most recent outing on Saturday in a wooden-bat tournament resulted in an 18-1 mashing of Morton. However, only one other win — an 18-17 verdict over Brother Rice — had been bagged in eight contests. Coach Brian Wujcik takes some solace in the fact his team has not “been blown out in any game,” but he doesn’t deny there are areas of concern. Despite some impressive run totals along the way, Richards carries a team batting average of just .277. The Bulldogs weren’t a whole lot better in the spring as it took them most of the season to boost their cumulative average over .300. Saving them before were a reliable defense and pitchers that combined to keep the team earned-run average below 3.00. The former is still evident, but the latter number has skyrocketed to nearly eight. “I can’t quite explain it,” Wujcik said. “Our problem this summer is pitchers [not] being able to throw strikes — we’ve given up 54 walks in 52 innings — or [us] being able to put an inning together [offensively]. “What’s frustrating is that we are either giving teams extra baserunners and losing late or not getting clutch hits. I’d like to see a little more consistency.” There have been some individual standouts amid the team struggles, most of those being returning veterans. Shortstop Chris Zeschke was hitting .529 heading into the current week, Nick Mejia was at .462 and Ryan Renken at .389 in addition to playing excellent defense at third base. Also stepping forward have been junior-to-be Tom Olson, who is second to Zeschke with his .500 average, and sophomores-to-be Raul Rico (4-for-8) and Arton Bislimi. “Some familiar names are doing what we expect, but I try to get everybody an equal amount of at-bats,” said Wujcik, who had no player with more than 26 through eight games. “We have 24 guys on the roster and we’re playing about 17 or 18 each game. “We routinely bat 10 or 11 guys [in the order] and change defenses every inning. I don’t want anybody to be sitting out. Twenty-four guys are [treated] about equal.” And Wujcik has no plans to alter his methods regardless of how the rest of the summer schedule unfolds. Like his contemporaries, however, he acknowledged the changing landscape. Once upon a time, he said, the Bulldogs ran split squads because “there weren’t travel-ball schedules [factored in].” “And now it’s not just the weekends [for those] — it’s Friday, Saturday and Sunday, or sometimes Thursday night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” Wujcik said. “What I’d like to do next year is play Tuesdays and Thursdays and practice on Wednesdays. “Stuff comes up in games that needs to be addressed, like situational hitting. We’d work on some very specific things in practice.”

BROTHER RICE

Minus Player of the Year Mike Schalasky, the Crusaders have been robbed of the area’s most dangerous hitter and their own biggest winner on the hill. Third baseman Max Hughes is another graduation-induced absence from the spring roster and Brother Rice also said farewell to a few other contributors. But plenty of talent is back in the fold, which will definitely make the 2016 season one filled with high hopes. This summer’s record hasn’t portended the lofty aspirations, but the Crusaders are no different than any other club in that they’re often operating with makeshift lineups due to athletes’ other obligations. That would account for the 1-3 ledger to date, but the unsettled nature of summer play is actually seen as a plus by Rice coach John McCarthy. “I’d like to be a little more successful, but it’s a process — that’s part of it,” he said. “We’re trying to give everyone an opportunity to succeed right now and it’s up to them to decide what they’re going to do with it. It’s exciting really.” McCarthy likes the way his guys are swinging the bat — the Crusaders have twice tallied double-digit runs in a game — and he said the return of established performers such as first-team all-area picks Ryan King (second base) and Andrew Dyke (outfield), Michael Massey and Ryan Kutt gives him some coaching flexibility. “It allows us to be a little more patient [with newcomers’ development] definitely,” McCarthy said. “We don’t have as many pieces to fill in.” There has also been some noteworthy pitching. McCarthy praised seniors-to-be Jack Butler and AJ Alarcon, neither of whom got much use in the spring, with displaying plenty of promise in their initial summer assignments. Another player who has caught McCarthy’s eye is Ryan Gorman, another senior-to-be who has “really stepped up” in his quest to take over for Hughes. “[The graduated] senior class did a great job of showing the younger guys the ropes and now it’s [the seniors-to-be’s] turn,” McCarthy said. “We need to work even harder on seeing how guys fit in and how they can help us. We’ve got to find out who’s on the bus, who’s off the bus and who’s sitting where in the bus.” One of the underclassmen McCarthy has been pleased with so far is junior-to-be outfielder Brett Bagus, who the coach labels “a bright spot.”

The clan and their neighbors face all sorts of challenges, from their environment as well as from others who enter their territory ... which later would be named Ontario.

TONY PINTO

OMARR’S WEEKLY ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST By Jeraldine Saunders ARIES (March 21-April 19): Grit and determination to realize your dreams may be the focus of the week ahead. You may inadvertently ignore a loved one due to ambitious activities, so remember to schedule some time for quality togetherness. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What you see and feel may not always be what you get this week. You could easily go overboard by making grand gestures and indulging in romantic fantasies. Focus on home and family for the best results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Crack the mental whip in the week to come. You have a vivid imagination and the know-how to apply it in practical ways. You may have ideas that will pay off financially, so keep a pen handy to write them down. CANCER (June 21-July 22): This year’s summer solstice may remind you of all the blessings in your life. You might even be empowered to make an effort to overcome deficiencies or work on improving a close relationship as the week unfolds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may enjoy a certain claim to fame in the week to come. Your generosity might put you in the limelight, or your willingness to explore new ideas and places. You may be tempted to begin a new study or research project. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week ahead, you could become caught up in unbridled optimism where your checkbook is concerned. Use your brains when choosing new household items or when gener-

VIDEOVIEW BY JAY BOBBIN (NOTICE: Ratings for each film begin with a ‘star’ rating — one star meaning ‘poor,’ four meaning ‘excellent’ — followed by the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and then by a family-viewing guide, the key for which appears below.) STARTING THIS WEEK: “WORKAHOLICS: SEASON FIVE”: The Comedy Central series yields another set of misadventures for Adam, Blake and Anders (Adam DeVine, Blake Anderson, Anders Holm), who have a hard time getting past the lure of college-age activities while they work as telemarketers. The show can be an acquired taste for some, but those who were with it for the first four seasons likely will embrace the home-video release of this latest round, televised earlier this year. *** (Not rated: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray) “ROMAN DE GARE”: Celebrated director Claude Lelouch (“A Man and a Woman”) plays with time in this mystery — whose title translates as “Crossed Tracks” — that involves a crime writer (Fanny Ardant) and an escaped serial killer. A woman (Audrey Dana) abandoned by her fiance becomes a factor as the other characters’ parallel paths converge, with the novelist suspected by police of murders that someone else committed. Lelouch also co-wrote the script of the film, boasting a soundtrack partially composed by the celebrated Gilbert Becaud. Dominique Pinon also stars. *** (R: AS, P) “TOM & JERRY: SPY QUEST”: One of the most celebrated duos in cartoon history is thrust into espionage in an animated adventure, with the feline Tom getting himself and his pal into trouble upon finding a secret code that many other spies want. Much mirth ensues as the cat-and-mouse game advances in more ways than one, and it even comes to involve another iconic Hanna-Barbera character — Jonny Quest, along with many of his usual associates, including Hadji, Race Bannon and dog Bandit. DVD extras: bonus episodes. *** (Not rated) “STYX: LIVE AT THE ORLEANS ARENA, LAS VEGAS”: Fans of classic pop-rock music should be able to guess many of the title included in this concert, recorded last July. “Come Sail Away,” “Lady” and “Too Much Time on My Hands” are on the set list, and there’s a special treat as Eagles veteran Don Felder shows up to join the band on “Blue Collar Man (Long Nights).” Huge video screens back the musicians. DVD extra: interview with Styx members. *** (Not rated)

The Children’s Farm at 12700 Southwest Highway in Palos Park is looking for volunteers who want to share their love of gardening with others. A new volunteer group of Garden Guides is being formed to educate weekend afternoon visitors about what is growing in the farm garden. Volunteers give tours through the garden, invite guests to taste in-season fruits or vegetables, and occasionally have time to help pull a few weeds between visitors. Garden guides are asked to volunteer one Saturday or Sunday afternoon each month from 1 to 4 p.m. The Children’s Farm garden grows strawberries, raspberries, onions, garlic, potatoes, beans, tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, peas, spinach, kale, chard, corn,
