A 2013 Glenbrook SouthHigh School graduate,Smoliga, 21, was set to takepart in her first Olympicsfor the U.S. women's swimteam once opening ceremo-nies for the games con-cluded Aug. 5 in Rio deJaneiro. Last month, shewon the women's 100-me-ter backstroke final at theU.S. Olympic swimmingtrials.

Plans do not include controversialflag display along Lincoln Avenue

BY NATALIE HAYESPioneer Press

Lincoinwood officialswho organize the annualDiversity Month adopted anew image this year, as theyplan fresh events to replacethe once-controversial flagdisplay along Lincoln Ave-nue.

Until last year, a displayof more than 60 flags hungalong the town's mainthoroughfare every Augustfor more than a decademeant to highlight the di-verse cultural backgroundsrepresented in the village.

The flag display - once arich tradition for the Lin-colnwood community -came under scrutiny twoyears ago when heightenedtensions in the Middle Eastin late summer 2014 di-vided the community.Some residents at the timegathered at village hall for apublic hearing and decriedthe Palestinian flag's pres-ence among the othercountries' flags.

Despite some oppositionto the flag, Lincoinwoodkept Palestine's flag flyinguntil all the flags weretaken down in September,when Diversity Monthcame to a close. None of theflags has returned to Lin-coln Avenue since 2014.

And village officials stillare deciding whether tocontinue the display alongwith other new events be-ing planned for DiversityMonth this year.

"The flag program is onhold while the village con-siders various options,"Lincolnwood Police ChiefBob LaMantia said, addingthat there are "no immedi-ate plans for the flags."

In place of the flags, thevolunteer-based Lincoln-wood Human Relations

It's a 'Pokemon Go' worldBY NATALIE HAYESPioneer Press

The cultural phenome-non that is "Pokemon Go"has caught on in Lincoln-wood, where garners canhead to the mall, the park orpublic library to satisfy theirdesire to conquer the worldof Pokemon.

The trend, which is amobile game that chal-lenges players to collect"Poke balls" and travel topublic places to find Poke-mon, works by inserthiganimated creatures into aplayer's geographical loca-tion. The game turns aplayer's surroundings into afantasy world using real-time location data andsmartphone cameras.

The game has delighted13-year-old Sameer Kajani,who frequents a "Pokestop"

a place where digitalPokemon and Poke balls canbe found - at LincolnwoodPublic Library when hegoes out hunting for points.

With an armful of booksin tow on one recent Thurs-day afternoon, the LincolnHall student admitted tovisiting the library a lotmore often this summersince he started playing thegame.

"This is the Pokestopclosest to my house, so Icome here a lot to play,"Kajani said. "Since it's inter-active, it's much better thanregular video games whereyou sit around on the couchall day"

As a registered Pokestop,the library has embracedthe Pokemon trend by of-fering plenty of Pokemon-themed books, games, andmovies for checkout to caterto the stream of adoringgamers who wander insearch of Poke ballsthroughout the week.

Youth and Teen ServicesLibrarian Emily Fardoux re-organized a section of thelibrary to appeal to gamerswith a special Pokemon-only section of materialsavailable to be checked out.She also made bookmarksthat relate to the game.

She and other librarystaffers have heard fromvisitors who have said theyhaven'tbeen to the library inyears until they were drawnback in by 'Pokemon Go."Those customers have sincerenewed library cards andchecked out numerous ma-tenais because they werereminded of what the li-brary can offer them, Far-doux said.

"The bookmarks andbook suggestions have beena hit - as have the little'Poke balls' we have tapedaround the library markingdifferent spots Pokemonhave been caught," she said.

Across town at Lincoln-wood Town Center, Poke-mon gamers typically headto the upper level Kohl'swing of the mall, where

g ..........

players can find and catchPokemon near the mainentrance of the departmentstore.

The mall's marketingmanager, Genelle locca, saidthe mall hasn't yet attracteda huge number of 'Poke-mon" gainers. But someretailers have started selling'Pokemorï Go" merchan-dise to cater to the few fansthat trickle in daily, she said.

"It's not huge here to thepoint where it's becomecrazy with people walkingaround bumping into eachother, but we see groups ofpeople coming in here toplay it daily," Iocca said.

Because the game pro-motes at least a moderatelevel of exercise by encour-aging players to keep mov-ing, locca said the game falls

in line with LincoinwoodTown Center's policy topromote physical activity.The mail usually opens twohours before shops do, sopeople have a place to walkindoors.

"We welcome peoplewho want to come in andwalk anytime," locca said."I'd imagine if the gamestays popular we'll get moreplayers coming in when theweather gets col&'

New Lincoinwood gunrange cleared to openBY KATE TIIAYERChicago Tribune

After nearly three dec-ades, several attempts, acourt battle and oppositionby some nearby residents, aLincoinwood gun shop hasbeen cleared to open ashooting range.

Under court order, Lin-coinwood issued a buildingpermit Aug. 3 to ShoreGalleries, allowing the gundealer to construct a 10-laneshooting range on the sec-ond floor of its shop at 3318W Devon Ave., just north ofhe Chicago border.

/ "Our hands are tied. We/ have to adhere to the court

order," Village ManagerTimothy Wíberg said.

Shop owners sued thevillage after it denied theirmost recent request to openthe gun range. A CookCounty Circuit Court judgesided with the village, whichargued the range wouldviolate local zoning codebecause it did not qualify asa recreational use.

Owners appealed andwon, with a state appealsruling two years ago that agun range does qualify as arecreational use, noting thatshooting is an Olympicsport.

vindication ofour position."After a few failed at-

tempts in the late 1980s and'90s, Shore applied for apermit in 2012 to relocate toa local manufacturing dis-ttict and add the gun rangethere. But he withdrew hisrequest after an outcryamong some residents be-cause of the site's proximityto schools. Shore then ap-plied for the permit to ex-pand at his current location,eventually leading to thelawsuit.

Throughout the process,residents have signed peti-tions against the range amidpublic safety and noise con-cerns.

The latest court rulingrequires the village to applyits 2012 zoning code to thegun range because that's theordinance that was in effectwhen Shore applied for thepermit.

Since then, Lincoinwoodhas revised its zoning codeto specify where shootingranges can be built. Wibergnoted that, under the cur-rent zoning code, a shootingrange would not be allowedat the Devon Avenue loca-ton.

Dry hot summer boosts pooi revenueBY NATALIE HAYESPioneer Press

The hot, mostly dry sum-mer this year has made for abusy season at Lincoln-wood's only public pool,where dreary weather lastyear resulted in a drop inrevenue for the Lincoln-wood Parks and RecreationDepartment.

After disappointing poolpass sales during the 2015summer season, coupledwith lower than usual con-cession sales and other reve-nue declines, the ProeselPark Aquatic Center sawrevenue drop nearly$33,000 from the previousyear But the 2016 season islooking up, according toLaura McCarty, parks andrecreation director for Lin-coinwood.

The parks departmentdeclined to provide monthlyattendance numbers forJune and July at its threepools housed within theaquatic center, but McCartysaid roughly 22 percentmore people have been us-ingthe pools compared withlast summer.

"I'd love to attribute thisyear's numbers to beingabout more than theweather, but it accounts forabout 90 percent of howwell we do," she said. "If westart out with a cold andrainy June then people justdon't come out to buy pass-es, but the weather startedout strong and has beenmostly perfect since?'

By mid-August of lastyear, aquatic center staffstarted tracking how manydays they closed the poolearly because of poorweather or low attendance.Out of 25 days recordedbetween Aug. 14 and Sept. 5,the facility closed early on 13days, according to the parksdepartment.

By contrast, the warmersummer weather this year islikely to help bring an aquat-ic center stuck in a two-yearrut, underscored by a 50-percent drop in pool visitorsbetween 2013 and 2015.

Citing developments infederal court, EvanstonTownship High School offi-cials canceled a committeemeeting last week to dis-cuss the district's policy ontransgender students.

The policy meeting wasscheduled for Aug. 4 andDistrict 202 Board of Edu-cation President Pat Sav-age-williams previouslyhad said the board probablywould be presented with anew policy at its regularmeeting scheduled for Aug.8.

"Due to recent legal de-velopments in federalcourt, we are going to delaythis Policy Committee

Savage-Williams said thedistrict opted to cancel themeeting and hold off onadopting a policy at theadvice of its attorney. Shesaid they were advised towait for more clarity on theissue from state officialsbefore moving ahead with adistrictwide policy. The dis-trict has policies in place toprotect students from dis-crimination on the basis ofsexual orientation and gen-der identity, Savage-Wil-liams said.

President Barack Oba-ma's administration issueda directive in May requiringschool districts to treattransgender students ac-cording to their genderidentity as soon as a parentor guardian informs thedistrict that the student's

Semark said in the Mayinterview that the districthad been working for sev-eral months to develop anofficial transgender studentpolicy in consultation withlegal experts.

The district worked withthe law firm Franczek Ra-delet, the gender and sexdevelopment program atLune Children's Hospital ofChicago and the IllinoisSafe School Alliance "toprovide staff with the pro-fessional development theyneed to support and accom-modate students who iden-tifS' as transgender,' Semarksaid in May.

Earlier thisyear, a federal district courtordered the school board toallow the transgender teento use the boys restroom.The school board requestedlast month that the Su-preme Court grant an emer-gency stay of the order,which the court confirmedthis week.

According to the ETHSwebsite, parents of trans-gender students under age18 must write a letter to thedistrict requesting a changeto the student's first nameand gender in the highschool's student informa-tion system. Those over 18can write the letter them-selves.

Officials report on West Nile virus uptickMuch of North Shore area impacted,risk deemed "low" to "moderate"BY LEE V. GMsPioneer Press

The North Shore Mos-quito Abatement District isreporting a slight uptick inthe number of mosquitoesfound to be carrying WestNile virus in the NorthShore area in recent weeks,particularly in Evanstonand Skokie.

The district has in-creased the risk of contract-ing the virus from "low" to"moderate" based on anincrease in the number ofmosquitoes caught inNSMAD traps that havetested positive for the dis-ease.

Of the 241 batches ofmosquitos tested in Evans-ton so far this season, 46have come up positive forthe virus. In Skokie, 39 outofa total of173 batches havetested positive for West NileVirus, and in Glenview/Golf, 15 batches have comeup positive - with six test-ing positive the last week ofJuly - out of a total of 121batches tested.

Humans generally con-tract the virus through bitesfrom infected mosquitoes,according to the Center forDisease Control, and mos-quitoes become infected af-ter feeding on birds withWest Nile Virus.

Seventy to 80 percent ofhumans infected with thevirus do not develop anysymptoms; those who doexperience symptoms suchas body aches, joint pains,headaches, diarrhea, vomit-ing and rash, according tothe Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention,and fewer than one percentof people who contractWest Nile virus develop aserious and sometimes fatalneurological illness.

Roger Nasci, executivedirector for NSMAD, saidthe rate of infected mosqui-tos is higher than averagethis year but still lower thanin 2012, which is consideredto be the most recent "out-

break" year for West Nilevirus.

In 2012, there were 20reported cases of the virusin humans living within thedistrict's borders, said DaveZazra, communicationsmanager for NSMAD.

The rate of infection inmosquitoes so far this yearis "higher than what we'veseen in years we considerrelatively low risk," Nascisaid, adding however, it'snot nearly as bad as whatwas reported four years ago.

The first case of WestNile virus this year wasdiscovered in late May aftera teenager in west-centralIllinois became severely ill,according to the IllinoisDepartment of PublicHealth. The state healthdepartment has reportedthree human cases of WestNile virus statewide so farthis year, according toNSMAD.

Catherine Counard, di-rector of the Skokie HealthDepartment, said her agen-cy reported a suspectedhuman case of West Nilevirus to NSMAD followinginitial testing earlier thissummer. She said, however,that a state laboratory didnot confirm the presence ofWest Nile virus after addi-tional testing.

Weather conditions thisyear have been favorable forthe virus, Nasci said. Gener-ally speaking, mild winters,dry springs and hot sum-mers contribute to higherrates ofinfection, he said.

He said the district'sabatement efforts havelikely tamped down thespread and contributed to alack of confirmed humancases in the communitiesthat NSMAD serves.

Those efforts includemonitoring the abundanceof West Nile virus in mos-quitos caught in traps setthroughout the district andlimiting the number of mos-quitoes that make it toadulthood by injectinglarvicide in storm sewer

catch basins and other areaswhere the bugs are likely tobreed.

NSMAD began sprayingadult mosquito populationsin the last week of Juneafter identifying increasedrates of West Nile virusactivity and in preparationfor the July Fourth holiday,Nasci said.

He said the vast majorityof abatement work is fo-cused on mosquito larvae,but the district has steppedup efforts tackle adultpopulations and will bespraying areas in Glencoe,Glenview, Northbrook,Northfield, Wilmette andWinnetka later this week.

Evanston and Skokiehave historically been hot-beds for mosquito-borneillnesses since the 1970s,Nasci said. Before West Nile

virus arrived in Illinois in2001, the area also experi-enced higher numbers ofmosquitoes infected withSt. Louis encephalitis - asometimes fatal Virus trans-mitted to humans via thebugs, he said.

Nasci said it's unclearwhy the area is so prone toviral infected mosquitoes.

"We know it's related tothe mosquito bird popula-tion dynamics - that drivesthe virus," Nasci said. "Wedon't know what causesthat to happen or why it'sdifferent than communitiesthat appear to be somewhatsimilar and are adjacent tothe north."

Evanston's assistant di-rector of health, Carl Cane-va, said there's nothing spe-cific to explain the higherrates of infection.

"There are hypotheticalsyou can argue about, theflights of birds, the olderinfrastructure of the citywith the catch basins andthings like that,' he said."There are those elementsbut I don't know if there'sany one piece you couldpoint to."

Caneva noted that bothSkokie and Evanston setmore traps than any othercommunity in the abate-ment district Nasci saideven with the higher vol-urne of traps accounted for,the rate of infectious mos-quitoes is still higher inthose two communities.

Both Counard and Cane-va say their agencies contin-ue to warn residents aboutthe presence of West Nilevirus, and to take precau-tions like wearing insect

repellent or loose long-sleeved pants and shirts,especially during the hoursof dusk and dawn when themosquitoes that carry thevirus are most likely to feed.Nasci advises residents toempty out any standingwater on their property.

"I don't know if mostpeople realize even a teacupwith water in it, a child's toyor a swimming pool couldhave mosquitoes growing init," Cotmard said.

She urged all NorthShore residents to takeproper precautions to pro-tect against the virus.

"It's just common sensebasic things you can do tominimize the risk of gettingbitten," Counard said.

Arlington International's new racing clubsfor fledgling horse owners up and runningBY KAREN ArmCuuorrAPioneer Press

A pair of new racingclubs are off and running atArlington InternationalRacecourse this summer,attracting nearly 150 fledg-ling horse owners, includ-ing former Bears coachMike Ditka and Black-hawks coach Joel Quenne-ville.

Launched at the start ofthe track's summer racingseason, the Arlington Rac-ing Club aims to give localracing fans the experienceof thoroughbred ownershipwithout the steep costs ofboarding, feeding and vet-erinary bills associatedwith caring for a racehorse,Arlington Internationalspokesman Howard Sud-berry said.

Indeed, since the club'sinception in May, roughly140 racing club membershave paid $500 to co-ownone of two thoroughbreds,which include horses Al-ways a Catch and ForeverRoyal, Sudberry said.

While owners can winback up to their $500 mem-bership fee if their horseruns well, any winningsbeyond their original in-vestment will be donated tothe nonprofit thorough-bred rescue organization,Galloping Out, Sudberrysaid.

The one-time fee, whichalso includes free seasonadmission and parking atthe track, gives racing clubmembers such as LarryKrupp, of Deerfield, achance to watch their horsework out, visit them in thebackstretch and cheer them

on at the rail with familyand friends on days whenthe horse races.

"I've always dreamed ofbeing a horse owner, and Ilove Arlington Interna-tional, so when I heard theywere offering membershipsto a racing club, I jumped inas quickly as I could' saidKrupp, 60, who along withhis son Josh Krupp, 21,cheered on his filly, ForeverRoyal, as she entered thepaddock, prior to compet-ingin a race July14.

"When she's racing, it'skind of like watching yourchild compete in sports,"Larry Krupp said. "This isour baby, and she just lovesto rac&'

Josh Krupp, a senior atMichigan State Universitysaid his father's member-ship in the racing club hasprovided the perfect venue

for them to hang out to-gether during his summerbreak from college.

"Ever since I was a littlekid, my dad has took me tothe track, so it's really excit-ing for us just to have ahorse running out there'Josh Krupp said.

As Forever Royal fin-ished second in a fierce raceon July 14, winning theKrupps about $80, fatherand son insisted the thrill ofowning a stake in a thor-oughbred was not aboutmaking money.

"Even if she didn't winsecond place, just seeingForever Royal taking off outof the gate, and flying downthe stretch ... it's such agreat feeling," Larry Kruppsaid.

Community inputon affordablehousing soughtBY KATHY Rou'rLInPioneer Press

Northbrook-based Hous-ing Opportunity Develop-ment Corporation, whichlast year proposed and thenwithdrew a project to buildaffordable apartment unitsin Wilmette, expects to ex-plore alternate proposal op-tions with village residentsstarting in September, ac-cording to Richard Koenig,the corporation's executivedirector.

"We've been busy work-ing, searching for alterna-lives" to the 20-unit apart-ment building first pro-posed last year for propertyHODC owns at 1925 WIll-mette Ave., Koenig said."But I've promised to goback to the community be-fore proposing a project tothe village. We're trying tofigure out when to schedulea series of communitymeetings, and we hope todo that after Labor Day."

HODC, which developsand manages affordablehousing projects acrossChicago's North Shore sub-urbs, bought the formerWilmette American LegionPost 46 property in June2015 for $464,000 and thenext month announcedplans to develop affordablehousing on the lot.

Although village officialsand local affordable hous-ing advocates at the timepraised HODC's purchaseand plans, the projectquickly garnered opposi-tion.

Opponents of the projectturned out in droves to aNovember 2015 plan corn-mission meeting to coin-plain that the three-storyproject's 10 350-square-foot studios and 10 one-bedroom apartments of be-tween 529 to 568 squarefeet were too dense for thesite.

KATHY ROUTLIFFE/PIONEER PRESS

Northbrook-based Housing Opportunity DevelopmentCorporation, which owns the former American Legion Post46 building in Wilmette, shown here in June, hopes topresent new alternatives for affordable housing on the siteto residents after Labor Day.

Others argued it wouldlower area property values,add nearby traffic, fail toprioritize low-income WIll-mette residents, and bringpossible criminals into thevillage.

After that meeting, Koe-nig thdrew the proposal,stating in a letter to thevillage that, "lAie have heardthe concerns ofthe commu-nity and based on issuesraised we would like to taketime to respond thought-fully and consider modifi-cations to better meet theneeds of Wíhnette fami-lies."

HODC held public meet-ings in December 2015 toanswer residents' questionsand to get their input. InFebruary of this year, itloaned the building rent-free to the Wilmette-basedActors Training Center asrehearsal space.

Koenig said in June thatHODC officials werelooking at the possibility ofdesigning space to servefamilies, rather than simplyfocusing on studio and one-bedroom apartments. An-other option might be amixed-use commercial-residential project, he saidat the time.

The property, which liesjust west of the WilmetteAvenue-Ridge Road inter-section, is zoned as neigh-borhood retail, a commer-cial zone. As such, a mixedretail and residential-useproject could be built with-out developers having toseek village zoning approv-al, according to Lisa Rob-erts, Wilmette's assistantdirector of community de-velopment.

Glenview cancer survivor runs triathlonAthlete hopes to raisemoney, awareness forresearchBY ALEXANDRA KuKULKAPioneer Press

One night in September 2011,Brandon Starkoff woke up with agroup of paramedics standingover him. They told him he hadjust had a seizure and needed togo to the hospital.

Doctors performed a CAT scanon Starkoff that night, and foundthat he had a mass the size of agrapefruit in the front left lobe ofhis brain, Starkoff said. Over thenext few days, Starkoff under-went an MRL and biopsy, and thedoctors determined that Starkoffhad a grade three astrocytoma, orbrain cancer.

For the next six weeks, Starkoffwent through radiation five days aweek and chemotherapy sevendays a week, and he continuedchemotherapy for another sixmonths after the initial treatment,according to his oncologist, PriyaKumthekar. This is the standardtreatment plan for people withStarkoff's type ofbrain tumor, shesaid.

Starkoff, now 40, has been inremission for the last four years.He still has a mass the size of aracquetball in his left front lobe,but it is dormant and he gets scansevery four months, he said. Star-koff will have to get brain MRIscans for the rest of his life,though less frequently over time,Kumthekar said.

"Going through it, not fightingwasn't an option," Starkoff said."It was always I am going to fightand I am going to get through thisthing."

Since his remission, Starkoffsaid he has dedicated himself toraising money and awareness forcancer research, and he willcontinue to do that by competingin the 34th annual TransamericaChicago Triathlon on Aug. 28.

"Brandon is always positive,"Kumthekar said. "He doesn't letanything stop him. He is verydedicated, positive and gives hisall to everything. This triathlon isprobably no different."

He will be completing the racewith Team Bright Side, which hasraised $500,000 for the Leukemiaand Lymphoma Society to gotoward funding childhood leu-

kemia and lymphoma research,Starkoff said. Starkoff said hedoesn't want any child to throughwhat he went through.

"We're in the mindset ofwe arefighting for children's lives," Star-koff said. "The more money weraise, the better we do at thetriathlon. The more fighting andendurance we put into this, themore we will all get out of this?'

Tracey Scheppach, the creatorof Team Bright Side, said shestarted the team shortly after herson, Ryan, now 11, was diagnosedwith leukemia in January 2013because she wanted to help fundcancer research. This is herfourth year completing the triath-bn with the team, Scheppachsaid.

Scheppach named the teamafter Ryan's positive attitude dur-ing his treatment, which he corn-

pleted three months ago as heentered remission, she said.

"Every single time anythingbad would happen, Ryan wouldsay, 'well, the good thing is,"Scheppach said. "He alwayslooked on the positive side?'

This year, 9,200 athletes will beparticipating in the TransamericaChicago Triathlon, and roughly400 to 500 athletes are raisingmoney for various charities, saidScott Hutmacher, the triathlonbrand manager.

"They are challenging them-selves to accomplish this eventwith purpose, and the purposecomes with them raising funds fora charity group," Hutmacher said.

Before he was diagnosed, Star-koff completed six triathlons, hesaid. This is his first triathlonsince he was diagnosed, andStarkoffsaid the mass in his brain

does not cause him any problemsas he trains, but what has changedis the meaning ofthe race.

"It was personal' Starkoff said."It was about me getting my besttime ever. Now, it's about makingan impact, working with a team ofpeople to raise these funds andrun on behalf of all these chil-dren."

The doctors weren't able todetermine what caused the tumorin Starkoff's brain, but they be-lieved that it had been growing for11 years, he said. Starkoff said hetold the doctors that roughly 11years before his diagnosis, hesuffered a concussion after he fellin a skiing accident, though thedoctors weren't able to confirm ifthe concussion caused the tumor.Throughout his treatment, Star-koff said that he was over-whelmed with support from his

family, friends and coworkers atStarcom Mediavest Group, whomade meals for him, his wife andtwins, who were 18 months oldwhen he was diagnosed, everynight for three months.

Starkoff said he has lived ahealthy and fit life, and someonewho inspires him to live that wayis Lance Armstrong. When he wasdiagnosed, Starkoffsaid a group ofhis friends worked for a companywith connections to Livestrongand they were able to arrange forArmstrong to make Starkoff avideo message of support.

"I got that when I was in thehospital right after my biopsy,and, I'll tell you, receiving some-thing like that will light a fireunder you to fight forever," Star-koff said.

Olympics tug at heartsand stir patriotism

Lrs PETRAKHome on LaGrange

About a month ago, mydaughter and I huddledover my iPhone andwatched the speck-likeimage ofa swimmer sprint-ing across a pool to the wall.It was live coverage of theOlympic swininiing trials inOmaha, and we were cheer-ing on Western Springs'own Mimi Schneider, whoswam for my kids' clubswim team and FenwickHigh School before leavingfor college and swimmingfor the University of Texas.

We also watched heats ofother swimmers we knew,such as Sean Lehane, an-other alum ofthe AcademyBullets swim team, andBrian Donatelli, a longtimemember of the LyonsAquatics Club swim teamand a graduate of LyonsTownship High School.

There's just somethingabout the Olympics thatbring out the goosebumpsevery few years. The light-ing of the torch, entrance ofthe athletes and the often-weird-but-fascinatingdances during the openingceremony, the two weeks'worth ofevents, the equallysentimental closing cere-mony, the backgroundmusic ofthe Olympic Fan-fare and the ubiquitous TVback stories on athletes'road to success tug on theheartstrings and stir a defi-nite patriotism.

A friend of ours hosts anOlympic party every twoyears, for the staggeredsummer and winter games,and it's a tradition for us towatch the opening ceremo-ny at her home. This year,she's renting a giant inflat-able TV that she's settingup in the backyard, alongwith some Olympic ring

lights. I've got a couple ofOlympic-themed appetiz-ers I'm bringing, whichprobably won't look any-thing like they do on thePinterest page.

Like Blackhawks playoffgames and college footballbowl games around theholidays, it's fun to watchOlympic events in a publicplace with other peoplearound. From the openingofthe Rio Games on Aug. 5until the closing on Aug. 21,it's a safe bet that many barsand restaurants with TV5will broadcast some events,especially the higher-pro-file competitions like swim-ming, diving, gynmastics,soccer and basketball.

During the last Olympicsin London, our summerswim pool set up a TV ondeck so guests could watchMichael Phelps swim toone ofhis many gold med-als.

As inspiring as the Olym-pics are, though, they are areflection ofthe times. Andtime doesn't stop for thegames, which is why thereare legitimate concerns

about contaminated waterfor kayakers, Zika virusprecautions for athletes andspectators and the potentialfor terrorism in the wake ofattacks that have beenhappeningwith alarmingregularity throughout Eu-rope, the Middle East andother parts ofthe world. Asmuch as our enthusiasm iswith these young and tal-ented athletes, so are ourthoughts and prayers fortheir safety.

IfChicago had won thebid in 2009, the 2016 Olym-pic Games would be at ourfront door. I rememberwonderingback then whatit would be like to have theOlympic Village within afew miles ofhere and havea chance to watch someevents, whether Greco-Roman Wrestling or theDecathlon or any othercontest open to the public.

Rio got the games, anddespite turmoil and trou-bies leading up to the Sum-mer Games, it's time to tunein and get inspired andhopeful all over again.

ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Columnist Sally Higginson has come up with her own movie rating system.

The magic of the movies- from your own bed

SALLY HIGGINSON

I like to fall asleepwatching a movie as muchas the next gal. There'ssomething quite soothingabout feeling the gravita-tional pull on my eyelidsbefore Kate Hudson figuresout that she needs to spendthe rest of her cellulite-freelife with Matthew McCo-naughey.

But watching them fallinto their final embraceisn't nearly as appealing asfalling into my own deepsleep. Since I know in ad-vance that this is how itends for both Kate and me,I'm doing each of us a solidby staying home andwatching in bed. On theSally Scale, "How to Lose aGuy in 10 Days" gets arating of"PG-lOO." Thatstands for "Perfect Good-night 100%."

Why can't I rate everymovie in roughly the sameway? For that matter, I'dlike to rate the movie thea-ters, too. The more I ven-tureouttogetmymovie

fixes, the more I realize thatwhere I watch influencesme as much as what Iwatch.

For example, ifl'm fool-hardy enough on a Fridaynight to go to a mall to seeanything rated R and fea-turing violence, I knowwith certainty the seats willbe filled with middle-schoolers who have lied,cheated and slinked theirway in. There will be nary aguiding parent in sight,which I understand be-cause I raised middleschoolers. Getting them outofthe house for any reasonis worth breaking the law.

On the Sally Scale, I'dgive Friday Night MallMovies a universal rating of"BMA-AAAC." Obviously:"Bar Mitzvah Alternative-Avoid At All Costs."

Luckily, I live withinwalking distance of a non-mall theater, and my prefer-ence is always to watchlocal. The allure of spend-ing a few hours in a deca-dent reclining seat keepsme loyal. As nearby cin-emas go, I could do worse.

In its favor, my localmovie house rarely sees anadolescent patron. With thegeriatric crowd, however,it's doing a bang-up busi-ness. I know I'm being

ageist, and that senior cen-ters have as much right totake field trips as everyoneelse. Still, I'd like to suestsome cinematic etiquettefor the Betty White cohort

Know what movie you'reseeing. Throughout theBrian Wilson bio-pic "Love& Mercy," two elderly pa-trous wondered aloud, andwith frequency: what it wasthey were watching. On theSally Scale, I gave the moviea "PR" for "Please Remem-ber."

Accept confusion. It'sokay not to follow the story-line, but a running corn-mentary ofyour confusionis verboten. Yes, the newJason Boume lacks plot,but let's discuss it after-wards. Sally Scale: "NTAT-MYM" - "No Talking andThat Means You Mom."

Bring your walkers. Butif you need to use the rest-room twice during themovie, please don't sit inthe middle of the aisle. SallyScale: "LGMPCIGBM" -"Lord Give Me PatienceCause It's Gonna Be Me?'

And finally, it's OK to fallasleep. It just begs the ques-tion: Why not stay homeand watch in bed?

FOODIESFOR LIFEChicago Gourmets club celebrates20 years of dining out with mealBY VERONICA HIraPioneer Press

One ofthe first dining clubs toform in the Chicago area is turn-ing 20. Chicago Gourmets, one ofthe few groups that formed longbefore dining clubs were fashion-able, will celebrate two decadeson Aug. 28 with a special dinnerat Tallgrass Restaurant in Lock-port.

It makes sense for ChicagoGourmets to celebrate their anni-versary at Taligrass Restaurant,where they have enjoyed chef/co-owner Bob Burcenski's mealsonce or twice a year since 1996.

"I've been his friend and fanfor 25 years. Bob is a renaissanceman," said Chicago Gourmetsfounder Don Newcomb. "He's achef, artist, teacher, composer,pianist, ceramicist and gardener.His food is sublime and exciting.And co-owner and maitred'Thomas Alves is the eruditesommelier, which is what theNew York Times called him. Bothare incredibly talented gentle-men!'

Burcenski's special menu forthe anniversary dinner includesseveral items that are not on hisregular summer menu, like hismelon gazpacho made with redbell peppers, cucumbers andmelons all blended together andchilled.

Burcenski tops his gazpachowith a dollop of Dijon crèmefraiche and sprinkles tiny, deli-cate slivers of deep pink rosepetals, orange and gold marigoldsand herbs. He grows them in agarden alongside the restaurant.The gazpacho is served with acrab beignet.

Main course choices for hisChicago Gourmets anniversarydinner will include his lobsterlasagna and a tomato shallotbroth with grilled wild halibut.

Another option will be roastedlamb rack and ratatouille withcucumber crème and a rosemaryreduction. For dessert, he willmake a feta panna cotta withpickled watermelon, pistachioand balsamic peach.

The dinner at Tallgrass Restau-rant is filling up fast, but it is justone ofnumerous gourmet mealsthe group enjoys throughout eachyear. Newcomb, an Oak Parkresident, said Chicago Gourmetshosts about 50 events each year."We have hosted over 1,000events total," he said.

Newcomb is retired from hisposition ofChair ofthe Orna-mental Horticulture Departmentat Triton College in River Grove.In his spare time, he came upwith the idea ofChicago Gour-mets, and acted on it. Ever since,he has been bringing peopletogether to explore new diningtrends, restaurants, culinaryauthors and more.

The group's first dinner was atthe Michelin-starred Frenchrestaurant, Crofton on Wells,which shuttered in 2012. Clubmembers chatted with CharlieTrotter when they ate at his res-taurant years ago. More recently,they tried Chef Michael Lachow-

Park Ridge resident Bea Cor-nelissen is one ofthe newermembers. She has been involvedfor four years. So far, her favoritemeal has been a turkey dinner atCafé Orchid in Park Ridge.

Barb and Tom Burke of OakPark have been members for nineyears. Barb is the current treasur-er. Meals with Chicago Gourmetshave inspired them to travel toplaces like South America.

The group has tried food ofjust about every etimicity. A fa-vorite repeat restaurant is GreekIslands in Chicago's Greektownneighborhood.

Ethiopian Diamond in Chi-

cago's Uptown neighborhood isanother favorite. The groupshares injera, a soft, Ethiopianfiatbread, and uses it in place ofsilverware to scoop up flavorfulstews, spicy lentils and beans, anddifferent meats and sauces ofEthiopian cuisine. Another visitto Ethiopian Diamond is beingplanned.

And they get their share ofall-American foods too, like theburgers and sodas by Riverwoodsresident Gale Gand at Spritzbur-ger in Chicago.

Long-time member BarbaraKuehn, formerly of HubbardWoods, has great memories ofseafood dinners at Don's Fish-market in Skokie. She has sup-

ported the group with marketingfor many years. "I'm lookingforward to new experiences ininternational cuisine, and that'smore possible than ever now withChicago's increasingly diversecuisine."

Upcoming Chicago Gourmetsevents include dinners at Maceloin Chicago on Aug. 25 and atEmilio's Sol y Nieve in Chicagoon Sept. 8. On Sept. 27, the groupwill dine at Read It & Eat, a culi-nary bookstore that opened lastyear in Chicago's Lincoln Parkneighborhood.

For 25 years, guys havebeen "Defending the Cave-man." It started in 1991 inSan Francisco when RobBecker first performed hishilarious solo show abouthow men and women differand relate. A 2 1/2 year runon Broadway followed -making it the longest run-ning Broadway solo show.

Currently, nine actorsare carrying the messageacross the country duringthis 25th anniversary na-tional tour Ben Tedder,who has been performingthe show for 13 years,brings it to the Skokie The-atre for four performances.

'4:It's kind ofa weird title,"Tedder admitted. "It kindofcomes across to somepeople like it's a machothingbut the show couldjust as easily be called 'Ex-plaining the Caveman.' Itexplores the differencesbetween men and women."

He noted that couplessometimes fight becausemen don't understand whywomen do things the waythey do and vice versa.

"lt leads to a lot of strug-gles in relationships, anddivorce:' the actor said."What our show does is letyou walk in your spouse'sshoes for a couple hours."Sounds like marriage coun-seling - if the point is tolaugh your troubles away.

The show debunks themyth that men don't showtheir feelings - they justshow them differently thanwomen, Tedder revealed.Apparently, this goes backto caveman times.

"Back in caveman days,men were hunters, womenwere gatherers," Teddersaid.

The hunters would gointo the woods in groupsbut had to be very quiet toavoid scaring the prey.Women would also fulfilltheir role in groups but

DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN

Ben Tedder performs "Defending the Caveman' about howthe sexes relate and differ, at the Skokie Theatre.

conversation was necessaryfor these gatherers as theyshared the location of thebest berries and whichsections had been pickedover.

"Bring it up to 2016, agroup ofmen sitting to-gether could be watching agame or going out to getsupplies;' Tedder ex-plained. "There's not a lotoftallcing It doesn't meanthat we're not sharing witheach other but it's a verydifferent kind of role."

So what do men andwomen have in common?"We all like ice cream,"Tedder declared. But on theserious side, he added, "Weall want to live in harmony.We want to find someonewho complements us andcelebrate our differences."

Tedder noted that all theactors who are performing

the show around the coun-try are friends and gettogether from time to time."Last year in Vegas, wewere all onstage at thesame time;' he said. "I'd dofive minutes ofthe show,the next guy would do fiveminutes. It was a blast."

He added, "We're differ-ent guys doing the samematerial. It's fun to watchhow the material relates tomen that are somewhat atdifferent stages in theirlives?'

The North Carolinanative lives in Chicago withhis wife Terrie and hischildren Chloe, 9, and Dcx-ton, 7. When Tedder is notonstage he occasionallydoes on-camera work andcommercials.

Tedder never gets tiredof"Defending the Cave-man." "Every time it's anew experience;' he said."It's a different audiencethat hasn't seen the show.The audience is really like asecond character in theshow. There's no fourthwall. I'm speaking directlyto them. The response andenergy that the audiencebrings really affects howthe show's going to go. Soit's exciting for me everytime to walk out and seewho I'm talking to?'

Can Tony Bennett stillsing at 90?

We won't know for sureuntil Aug. 13, when he playsthe Ravinia Festival - notlong after reaching themilestone Wednesday.

But ifhis performanceevokes the work he turnedin at Ravinia last summer,where his shows with LadyGaga sold out in a flash,there will be compellingmusic-making ahead.Though Gaga surely addedto the buzz ofthe occasion,Bennett - then a fewweeks shy ofhis 89th birth-day - did most ofthe heavylifting.

So far as Bennett is con-cerned, he's no differentnow than he was last year,as he prepares for his 37thappearance at Ravinia.

"I'm so fortunate that atmy age, at this time in mylife, I'm sold out all over theworld," says Bennett.

"I never planned it," headds, speaking of a careerthat has stretched morethan 60 years. "I just stayedhealthy. And I love life somuch. My doctor keepstelling me: Don't come tomy office to bother me,because there's not a thingwrong with you."

On purely musical terms,Bennett certainly hasshown the benefits of thepassage oftime, not thedeficits. Because his in-strument never was reallydulcet like, say, Frank Si-natra's in the 1940s and'50s, Bennett never hassounded as ifhe has lostground. On the contrary,the crags and grain of hisvoice enrich the characterofhis interpretations, leav-ing no doubt that a worldlywise figure is sharing hisinsights with us.

"It's a matter of perform-ing," explains Bennett. "Ifyou just sing one way,everything is sweet andeasy and lovely. It's pretty

boring ifyou do that andnothing else. You have toshow each side of life."

Though the world al-ways has regarded Bennettas a classic pop singer, thefreedoms he takes in per-formance, the swingrhythm that drives most ofhis work and the instru-mentalists who accompanyhim affinn that, at heart,he's ajazz sinr.

Bennett says he wasdrawn to jazz by his olderbrother, John Benedetto,who sang in the children'schoir ofthe MetropolitanOpera and earned the nick-name "the little Caruso."

"But he didn't like it, and,as a result, he started sing-ingjazz, and I was alwaysinfluenced byhim," saysBennett

"And I got to like it somuch, when you realize

that every time you sing, it'sdifferent than the timebefore."

Above all, though, Ben-nett managed to forge amusical persona far outsidethe influence ofthe singerhe often refers to as his bestfriend, Sinatra. Bennettcrafted a singular style thatemphasized Unhurriedtempos, extraordinarilyslow ballads and a quasi-operatic way ofunfurling aphrase.

How did Bennett man-age to strike out on his ownstylistically, against prevail-ing trends?

"I joined the AmericanTheater Wing" to studymusic after serving in theArmy during World War II,he says. "Mimi Speer was agreat teacher ofsingers on52nd Street, which was thegreatjaz street at thattime.

"She told me: Don'timitate another singer. Youcan enjoy a singer, but don'tbe influenced by that sing-er. Just be yourself. Singlike ajazz artist - like attrumpet player or a saxo-phone player taking a solo.Sing like that, so you'll bedifferent all the time."

2 SUBURBAN COOKS'o

I Canning extends the life of your gardenDilly BeansBy Judy Buchenot- Naperville Sun

Emily Paster comes from afamily ofgreat cooks who lovespending time tother preparingwonderful meals.

So when Paster had children,she was ready to show them howto make the family favorites, buthad to change her plans since herdaughter had allergies to es,wheat and dairy

"I was wondering what wecould do together in the kitchenand thought aboutjam. It is basi-cally fruit and none ofthe thingsshe was allergic t&' Paster's familyhad never canned anything beforeso it was a new experience for her,and she quickly mastered theprocess.

One ofher favorite parts ofmakingjam is purchasingthe fruit

"I am a real farmers marketjunkie," Paster said. "I would comehome with flats ofbeautiful ber-ries and my husband would say'Who is going to eat all of thisstuff?"

Paster happily turned the fruitinto jam, which quickly began tofill her pantry "I was enjoyingmakingitbutrealizedlwasmak-ingway too much for a family offout"

Paster had heard about foodswaps where people exchangehomemade gtods but couldn'tfind a local food swap. "Thereweren't any in Chicago so I startedon&' Her first swap was in 2011and was so successful that Pasterwas ready to tiy new canningventures.

'People are so intimidated bycanningbut ifyou can roast achicken, you can can' she said.Although she started with jelly,she susted that canning begin-nera try pickles instead. "There isreally very little that can go wrongwith pickles and the results are soyummy:'

Paster noted that pickles do notneed to be limited to a cucumberaffait

"There is a whole world ofvegetable pickles that are so good.Beans are a good place to start.Dilly beans are really becomingpopular. Pickled carrots are goodtoo. And then there is the wholegiardiniera thing' she said, re-ferring to the mix of bell peppers,carrots, celery cauliflower andother vegetables that is a popular

Tomato jam is a great way to use a bumper crop of tomatoes, accord-ing to home canning expert Emily Paster.

Emily'sCulinary CueWhen making cucumbers intopickles, be sure to completelytrim off the blossom end of thecucumber because it contains anenzyme that can make the picklessoft. Also, be sure to date all ofyour canned goods so that youuse the oldest items first.

condiment She said that pickledred onions are common in Mex-icen dishes and there is a host ofpickled vegetables used in EasternEuropean dishes. The importantthing is to follow the recipe andthen allow the pickles to cure fortwo to three weeks before tryingthem, Paster said.

Makingjams andjellies is abitmore challengingbecause it ispossible to undercook the jam,which means it won'tjell, or over-cook it until it becomes too thick,Paster said. However, once youmaster the process, "there is sucha difference between homemadeand store-boughtjam. Homemadeis so fruit forward."

Paster customizes herjams byadding extra flavor like cinnamonor .nger or mixing up fruits."Peach and apricot is a nice mix,"she said. Some fruits, like plumsand raspberries, are naturally highin pectin, which helps in the jell-ing process. Startingwith thesehigh-pectin fniits makes it easierfor beginners to have success.

Paster also susts that gar-deners with bumper crops of

tomatoes try canningthe toma-toes. "You can do a lot of thingswith tomatoes. Tomato jam iswonderftil on a cheese plate or ontop ofa burger. Tomato chutney isanother great way to use tomatoes.Makingyour own ketchup is also agood idea."

Paster, 42, has a cooking blog,wwwwestoftheloop.com andhas been teaching others canningbasics in recent years. She will beleading canning classes at MortonArboretum in Lisle on Aug. 27 andAug. 30. Get information at mor-tonarb.org.

She has also written a book,"Food Swap: Specialty Recipes forBartering, Sharing and Giving."About one-third ofthe book givesinformation about settingup afood swap and the rest has recipesfor items ideal for bake sales, giftsand food swaps. The recipes covera broad spectrum from home-made vanilla extract to limoncelloto roasted tomato ketchup.

"I really wish that people wouldthink ofcanning as part ofa homecook's repertoire - even if youonly do it once or twice a year.Canned items can be stored any-where that is dark and cool. I amlucky to have moved into a homewith a wine cellar that is nowmainly a jam cellar," said Paster ofher River Forest home.

So head to the farmers marketthis week, pick up something youlove and start canning. Pastershares a recipe for dilly beans andfor peach-habanero salsa to geteveryone started.

The perfect marriage:Green chili and Denveromelet burritos

When I was a freshman inhigh school I answered a helpwanted ad in my local news-paper for a family looking forsomeone to serve as a summernanny for three little girls. Thegirls were Z 4 and ion the daywe met and the zany trio ranmeraggedinthebestwayforthe next several summers.They were silly, naughty and super snulyand became the first people I truly loved whowere not members of my immediate family.

Staying in touch with the girls has alwaysbeen a priority for me. They were flower girlsin my wedding and today they each have theirown unique relationships with my kids. lamproud to say they grew up to become an ac-claimed photographer, a documentary film-maker and a passionate pastry chef. The eldestand her husband just made me a grand-nannyand my favorite middle child, Molly, is gettingmarried to her longtime love next weekend.And she asked me to perform the ceremony.

As I've been writing my parts of the cere-mony I've been thinking about all the uniquelittle details that bring a love story to life.

Denver omelet-inspired burritos over a bowl of green chili.

Molly and her fiance met forthe first time in an Oxforddining hail over afternoon teain England while my husbandand I fell in love over chili andcheese omelets at Lou Mitch-eH's in Chicago.

In just a few days we'll begathering at the top of a moun-tain in Colorado where the

beautiful couple will say their "I dos" undermy watchful eye. Honestly, I'm a touch nerv-ous about the whole thing, but I've been read-ing a little bit about the iconic dishes of Colo.rado to distract myself There aren't verymany, but green chili-smothered burritos rankright at the top of the list of the state's populardishes.

Marrying a version of my chili and cheeseomelets with the iconic dish of Coloradoseemed like the perfect way to honor theupcoming occasion. I whipped up a batch ofmy own slow cooker green chili and topped itwith a Denver omelet-inspired burrito. Sureyou could keep these dishes separate, but likea good couple, these two things are even bet-ter together.

Colorado-style Green Chili & DenverOmelet BurritosThis recipe makes a large batch of chili. Feel free to serve the chili for dinner withsome sour cream and lime and use the leftovers to serve with breakfast burritos fora hearty brunch.

HELP SQUAD

Look out for unethical utility 'slamming' scamsIn a conversation with Citizens Utility

Board Communications Director Jim Chil-sen, I learned that "One of the biestcomplaints CUB gets is about aressiveelectricity and gas sales reps. We average acomplaint or inquiry a day about Illinoisgas and electric suppliers. ...The pitchescome over the phone, in the mail or at yourdoor."

Mae, a former ComEd customer andsenior housing resident in Chicago, pro-vided firsthand insight into one such hardsell. 'About two years ago, kids that saidthey were college students were goingthrough my building. They said, 'You knoweverybody gets a $50 refund? You didn'thear about the $50 refund?' And next thingI know, I'm with a whole new (electric)company.

"They never specifically said they werewith ComEd, but in the beginning theycame like ComEd sent them to take yourapplication so you could get your $50 re-fund. Then at the end they finally tell youabout this new company, Entrust."

"They wanted to see my (ComEd) bill.They started writing stuff on it saying they

could save me money.They said ifl didn't wantit, I could just cancel, but itwasn't like that; if youdidn't keep it for a year,then you had to pay to getout ofit. ... They weresome young kids and I wasthinking I was helpingthem. But I got scammed?'

When "Entrust Energy" is Googled, aplethora of complaints appear - includingan F from the Better Business Bureau.

When Mae finally called Entrust tocancel, she was told her service would betransferred back to ComEd, but instead shereceived a letter stating her account hadbeen turned over to yet another utility. Maetold me she would take care of cancelingwith the new company and reconnectingwith ComEd. I strongly encouraged her toget back in touch if this proved difficult.

Per my review of redacted consumercomplaints Chilsen was able to forward mefrom CUB, it became apparent that thosemost likely to be targeted for high-pressureutility sales are senior citizens, individuals

'_________ on fixed incomes and recentU.S. immigrants.

Chilsen offered this guid-ance: 'People might come toyour door looking likethey're from a utility - may-be they're carrying a clip-board. And they might saythey're from the electric orgas company. However, you

should know that ComEd, Peoples Gas,Nicor Gas and North Shore Gas won'tcome to your door asking to see your utilitybill." He added, "Never give out your bill oraccount number unless you're absolutelysure you want to sign up for a gas or elec-tric offer. If you give out your bill, a less-than-scrupulous sales rep will have all theinformation he or she needs to sign you upfor a supplier without your permission.That's a scam called 'slamming.'"

To protect against potential utilityscams, Chilsen suggests being on the look-out for these red flags:

Exorbitant rates: Always ask what thealternative supplier is charging. Beforemaking a final decision, CUB can tell you

CATHY CUNNINGHAMHelp Squad

what the utility companies are charging soyou can make an apples-to-apples pricecomparison.

Low introductory rates that disappear:Introductory rates can shoot up after ashort period. Ask ifthe rate is an intro rate,how long it lasts and what the ultimatestandard rate will be.

Extra fees: Always ask ifthere is amonthly fee and factor that into the per-kilowatt-hour (kWh) price for electricityor per-therm price for gas.

Punishing exit fees: Many supplierscharge exit fees ifa customer leaves a planbefore the contract is up. Under the law,customers are allowed to leave a contractwithout paying an exit fee for up to 10 daysafter the date ofthe first bill. CUB foughtfor a $50 cap on exit fees, and the IllinoisGeneral Assembly passed that consumerprotection.

ROUNDUP I CRIME FICTION

Rise the DarkBy Michael Koryta, Little, Brown, 400pages, $26

Among his many gifts, Michael Koryta is a virtuoso in his use ofoutdoor settings.Ranging from the eerily charged Florida swamps in "The Cypress House" to the iso-lated Montana mountain retreat in "Those Who Wish Me Dead" to the undergroundIndiana caves in "Last Words," his thrillers present the great outdoors in their mostfrightening aspects. In "Rise the Dark," his second effort featuring private investigatorMarkus Novak, Koryta is back in Montana, where mad visionary Eli Pate is intent onshort-circuiting the electric grid in twisted service of Mother Earth. After abductingthe wife of a lineman who was traumatized by the accidental electrocution of bisbrother, Pate threatens to kill her unless her husband risks his own life vandalizinghigh-voltage wires.

Still reeling over the unsolved murder of bis own wife in a spooky Florida town in"Last Words," Novak tracks her killer, sexual predator Garland Webb, to the High

Country. The PI, who grew up in Montana, is reunited with members of his disreputable family: his eccentricmother Violet, a psychic reader who has taken up with Pate, and his uncle Larry, who with his shotgunningskills proves to be of great use. Though Novak is not the most charismatic hero, the book's atmospheric powerand strong cast of supporting characters make "Rise the Dark" compelling from the get-go. As usual in a Korytanovel, there is a supernatural aspect to the story, one that is subtly applied here but promises to play a sizablerole in Novak's future adventures.

When th Music's OverBy Peter Robinson, William Morrow 421 pages, $25.99

Dual narratives have become so common in crime fiction, you sometimes get thefeeling that the people writing them, aware of today's shortened attention spans, arewary ofoffering a single, well-crafted plotline. In his 23rd Inspector Banks novel, thesuperb Peter Robinson again justifies the multiple-story approach with tales that cohereand overlap to powerful effect.

In one ofthe stories, the exceptionally companionable, music-lovingAlan Banks,newly promoted to detective superintendent, reopens a cold case involving the rape of14-year-old Linda Palmer in 1967 by pop star and TV host Danny Caxton. At the sametime, his longtime partner and sometime fling, Detective Inspector Annie Cabbot, in-vestigates the gruesome murder of Minisy Moffat, a teenager who was tossed into aditch from a moving van, naked and drued, and subsequently kicked to death. Palmer,now a name poet, is motivated to press charges all these years later by the (real-life)

prosecution ofBritish celebrities, including Jimmy Savile, the knighted radio and TV star who was posthumouslycharged with serial sexual abuse. Mimsy had fallen in with Pakistani men who groomed her and other underagegirls to sleep with their "friends' Annie, who was raped herself, pursues the case with a special intensity in theface of the Pakistanis' claims of ethnic discrimination. For all the '60s flashbacks in "When the Music's Over,"there's nothing nostalgic about the novel and its treatment of the plight women still face in supposedly moreenlightened times.

hursday,

What happens in Vegasstays in Vegas ... un'ess youare a newspaper columnistwho writes about love andrelationships. I would beremiss ifl didn't sharewhat I saw in Sin City on arecent visit with my boy-friend. Regardless of itsreputation ofluring tour-ists into immoral behavior, Las Vegas is acity filled with an incredible amount oflove and romance.

My impression ofthe town sometimesreferred to as "Disneyland for Adults"began at the hotel pools, where I noticedcrowds consisting ofyoung people, oldpeople, families with kids, couples, bache-br and bachelorette parties, groups ofgirlfriends and convention gers.

It occurred to me that Las Vegas seemslike a place that truly welcomes peoplefrom all walks oflife, regardless of race,religion, class, etc. What struck me wasthe beauty in seeing many different typesofpeople seemingly at peace and in har-mony, all at the pools to enjoy the day. Itfelt far removed from thoughts of strainedrace relations at home or never-endingworld conflict. In other words, it was aspace filled simply with the commondesire and appreciation for enjoyment -and little else.

I spent the weekend walking the strip,going out for fancy dinners, seeing "JerseyBoys," gambling, dancing and listening to afew different lounge acts, most notably anElvis impersonator. If you closed your eyesand listened to him sing songs like, "Let ItBe Me" and "Blue Suede Shoes," youwould swear you were listening to TheKing himself.

What was so remarkable was the pas-sion this singer, known as Big Elvis, hadfor his work. I am told he has been per-forming in Vegas for over 20 years. Thatcan't be easy He has to love what he does,otherwise he could never sustain theexcellence of his shows. What stood outmost was his smile while he sang. It re-vealed peacefulness. Singing was home tohim. That's what came across.

Another extraordinary lounge act I sawbegan when my boyfriend and I werestanding up to leave the bar around mid-night, and all of a sudden we heard thebeautiful and powerful voice of a soulvocalist belt out, "Strumming my painwith his fingers ..." We immediately satback down, enamored with her stunning

delivery ofRoberta Flack's"Killing Me Softly."

As people started flood-ing the small dance floorarea in front of her whenshe sang Donna Summer's"Hot Staff," I lookedaround and wondered howmany men and womenthere had love and passion

and a sense of pride for something like shedid. That's no everyday thing. Her voicewas inspiring, her wannth and energycontagious.

When people think ofLas Vegas, manyenvision a strip ofhotels with evil tempta-tions like gambling, cheating, prostitution,excessive drinking and drugs. Not thatthose things don't exist. They certainly do.And I can understand how someonemight feel less than warm and fuzzy iftheir spouse decided to take a trip therewithout them.

But for the most part, the love and pas-sion I saw in Sin City were incredible.Despite getting a little sick ofseeing four-inch heels, tattoos and very short skirts onyoung girls not much older than mydaughter, alongwith extremely intoxi-cated people staggering down the streetand countless casino employees solicitingus to walk into their establishment andlose more money, I felt like the town trulyfostered hantiony. Not just from inspiringtop-notch chefs, entertainers and artists,but with the opportunity for loved ones toexperience brilliant talent, to learn to-gether, to enjoy the serenity and warmthof togetherness, and to go home withbeautiful memories.

Here are 10 things to do in Vegas thatdon't involve gambling, drinking or strip-pers.

i Drug combination may helpI ¡f statin doesn't work alone'N

jDR. ANThONYKOMAROFFAsk Doctor K

Dear Doctor K: De-spite taking statins, mycholesterol hasn'tdropped as low as mydoctor would like. I fig-ured he'd put me on thenew PCSK9 inhibitors.Instead, he suggestedthat I stay on my statin,but also take anotherdrug called ezetimibe.What can you tell meabout this combination?

Dear Reader: From whatyou say, I assume yourdoctor has used the highestdose ofthe most potentstatins before giving up onthose drugs. There are veryfew people whose choles-terol does not drop sub-stantially on statins alone.

However, if your choles-terol still is not low enoughdespite maximizing statintreatment, then you doneed something else. Thecholesterol-lowering drugsknown as PCSK9 inhibi-tors roared onto the mar-ket last year. Thanks totheir impressive perform-ance in clinical trials - inone year, they loweredLDL ("bad") cholesterollevels by 40 to 60 percent- doctors and patientsalike greeted them withexcitement. But thesedrugs aren't for everyone.

Why? One big reason iscost. PCSK9 inhibitors costan estimated $14,600 peryear. Did I just hear yougulp? I thought so. Bycontrast, most statins areavailable as generics. Theycan cost as little as $4 permonth through discountprograms at large chainstores.

Moreover, the statinshave been proven to de-crease actual heart attacks

and strokes. Doctors do notyet know ifthe PCSK9inhibitors will ultimatelydo the same. Finally,PCSK9 inhibitors are givenby injection every two tofour weeks, whereas sta-tins are pills.

But when statins alonedo not adequately lowerLDL cholesterol, there areother options than thePCSK9 inhibitors, as well.

One alternative is ezeti-mibe (Zetia). This drugblocks cholesterol in foodfrom crossing the intestinalwall and getting into thebloodstream. It can lowerLDL levels by roughly 15 to20 percent when usedalone. And when added tostatins, it can lower choles-terol further. Ezetimibehas an excellent safetyrecord and is generallywell tolerated.

One large study com-pared adding ezetimibe tothe statin simvastatin (thecombination found in thedrug Vytorin) to using oneof the statin drugs (sim-vastatin) alone. The combi-nation was more effectivein preventing heart attacksand strokes.

The study includedmore than 18,000 peoplewho were recovering fromheart attacks. After six

A combination of statins and ezetimibe can help lowercholestorol for some people more than statins alone.

years, LDL levels in theezetimibe-plus-simvasta-tin group dropped consid-erably lower than in thegroup takingjust sim-vastatin. More important,comparing a theoreticalgroup oflOO,000 peopletaking the combined drugsto a group ofthe same sizetakingjust the simvastatin,2,000 more people takingjust simvastatin wouldhave had another heartattack or a stroke.

Ezetimibe works whenadded to any statin. If thecombination ofa statiriplus ezetimibe doesn'twork for you, then yourdoctor may consider aPCSK9 inhibitor.

Not all insurance com-panies pay for PCSK9inhibitors. Those that doneed proof from yourdoctor that every otherway to lower your choles-terol has not producedadequate results. Hope-fully, adding ezetimibe willdo the trick. I'll bet it will.

PEOPLE'S PHARMACY PRESCRIPTIONS AND HOME REMEDIES

Certain drugs can createan addiction to gamblingBy Joe Graedon andTeresa GraedonKing Features Syndicate

Q: I almost fell off mychair when I acciden-tally came across in-formation that ropini-role could trigger im-pulsive gambling. I havebeen taking this drugfor eight years for rest-less legs. When it wasfirst prescribed, Ithought it was an abso-lute godsend, because itrelieved my restless legsand allowed me to sleepat night.

Now I finally under-stand why I becameaddicted to gamblingshortly after startingthis medication I hatedwhat I was doing butcould not stop.

A: Ropinirole (Requip)and pramipexole (Mira-pex) are prescribed forrestless legs syndrome(RLS) and Parkinson'sdisease. A study publishedin JAMA Internal Medi-cine (December 2014)confirmed that such drugsindeed trigger patho-logical gambling, corn-pulsive shopping andhypersexuality.

Sorne drug-safety ex-perts believe the inci-dence ofsuch impulse-control problems might beas high as 10 percentThey have called for moreprominent warnings toprotect unwary patients.

I was put on statinswhen I was 40. By 47,1needed cataract surgeryin both eyes. I becameprediabetic and sufferedfrom muscle weakness,memory loss and hadtrouble finding the rightwords.

The cognitive difficul-ties became so severethat I had to stopwork-Ing. My doctor wantsme to keep taking Cres-

MOVIES

NOW PLAYING"Jason Boume" ***P6-13,2:03, action/adventureJason Boume is back, after nine long years in cold franchisestorage. That time gap explains why the new film "JasonBoume" puts quotes around its conflicted super-assassin's fullfake name. We know it, according to the ads. We know his name.But just in case. Matt Damon has settled nicely into this largelynonverbal role of a trained killer piecing together his past on thefly, while killing those who are trying to kill him. At its best, "Ja-

son Boume" crackles with professionalism; at its worst, it's rehashing greatest hits (as in,"assassinations') from earlier films. Ifa summer picture can be both vaguely disappointingyet worth seeing, "Jason Boume" Is that picture. - Michael Phillips

"Star Trek Beyond" **P6-13,2:02, sci-fi"Things have started to feel a little ... episodic' acknowledgesJames T. Kirk in his famous captain's log, three long years into afive-year gig. That line, cheeky and knowing, comes early in"Star Trek Beyond' The latest film in this franchise isn't quite upto the 2009 and 2013 movies. But it's still fun and the effectsmanage to look a little more elegant and interesting than usual,The nemesis this time is a lizard fellow named Krall, played by

Idris Elba, which means he has the coolest voice in the universe. Krall never quite pops as theantagonist Elba so clearly has In him to portray. But If there's one thing this franchise hastaught us, it's this: You can't always get a Khan when you want one. - MP

"Bad Moms" **R, 1:41, comedyAs surely as most mothers can't win, "Bad Moms" can't lose.Certainly lt can't lose with moms who've endured, throughgritted teeth, one too many R-rated guy comedies. This movierepresents a vacation from mean-spirited sexism like "TheHangover" Or does it? Amy, played by Mila Kunis, runs her life asan exercise in just-in-time management. "Bad Moms" takesAmy's maelstrom of a life just seriously enough to connect with

all sorts of parents. Amy's work issues are solved in two absurd lines of dialogue. Her love lifeis solved by a conveniently located sensitive widower hunk (Jay Hernandez). "Bad Moms"keeps settling for less than it should, given all the talent on screen. - M.P

"The Secret Ufe of Pets" ***P6,1:31, anImated"The Secret Life of Pets" is fun, famIly- (and animal-) friendlyfare. The pets are given voice by an all-star cast that includesLouis C.K., Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate and Albert Brooks. Littleterrier Max (C.K.) is the top dog in the life of his owner, Katie(Ellie Kemper), until she brings home a giant, fluffy mutt namedDuke (Eric Stonestreet). The rival pups become separated andwind up in the underground headquarters of a bitter bunny

named Snowball (Hart). lt's fun to imagine what pets get into when no one is home, and"Pets" does a great job of taking that idea to an extreme. - Sandy Cohen, Associated Press

"Ughts Out" ***P6-13,1:21, horrorTraumatized by the prologue murder of his father, young Martin(Gabriel Bateman) is haunted by a spook with long, sharpfingernails. This creature, who goes by Diana, appears to be afriend of Martin's mother, Sophie (Maria Bello). Sophie's es-tranged daughter Rebecca (Teresa Palmer) has mysteriousclaw marks on her arms, Indicating that she also had run-inswith Diana. Palmer and Bello really do seem like world-weary,

spook-addled daughter and mother. They're strong enough to take your mind off somelapses In narrative Judgment. Still, the film works; lt's enjoyably nerve-wracking. - M.P

Risk to self-driving carS:Human brain notalert to dangers inpartial automation

BY Jotri LowYAssociated Press

WASHINGTON - Ex-perts say the developmentofself-drivingcars over thecoming decade depends onan unreliable assumptionby many automakers: thatthe humans in them will beready to step in and takecontrol ifthe car's systemsf1.

Instead, experience withautomation in other modesoftransportation like avia-tion and rail suests thatthe strategy will lead tomore deaths like that of aFlorida Tesla driver in May.

Decades of researchshows that people have adifficult time keeping theirminds on boring tasks likemonitoring systems thatrarely fail and hardly everrequire them to take action.The human brain continu-ally seeks stimulation. If themind isn't engaged, it willwander until it finds some-thing more interesting tothink about. The morereliable the system, themore likely it is that atten-tion will wane.

Automakers are in theprocess of adding increas-ingly automated systemsthat effectively drive cars insome or most circum-stances, but still require thedriver as a backup in casethe vehicle encounters asituation unanticipated byits engineers.

Tesla's Autopilot, forexample, can steer itselfwithin a lane and speed upor slow down based onsurrounding traffic or onthe driver's set speed. It canchange lanes with a flip ofits signal, automaticallyapply brakes, or scan forparking spaces and parallelpark on command.

Joshua Brown, a 40-year-old tech companyowner from Canton, Ohio,who was an enthusiastic

PABLO MARTINEZ MONSI VAIS/AP

Audi engineer Kaushik Raghu demonstrates a self-driving vehicle in Arlington, Va. Experts say the push for self-drivingcars wrongly assumes humans will take over in a crisis.

fan of the technology, waskilled when neither he norhis Tesla Model S sedan'sAutopilot braked for a truckmakingaleft turn on ahighway near Gainsville,according to federal in-vestigators and the auto-maker.

Tesla warns drivers tokeep their hands on thewheel even though Auto-pilot is driving, or the vehi-cle will automatically slowto a stop. A self-drivingsystem Audi plans to intro-duce in its 2018 A7, whichthe companysayswillbethe most advanced on themarket, monitors drivers'head and eye movements,and automatically slows thecar if the driver's attentionis diverted.

But Brown's failure tobrake means he eitherdidn't see the truck in hispath or saw it too late torespond - an indication hewas relying on the automa-tion and his mind waselsewhere, said MissyCummings, director ofDuke University's Humansand Autonomy LaboratoryThe truck driver said hehad heard a Harry Pottervideo playing in the carafter the crash.

"Drivers in these quasi-and partial modes of auto-mation are a disaster in themaking," Cummings said."If you have to rely on thehuman to see somethingand take action in anythingless than several seconds,you are guing to have an

accident like we saw?'Operators - an airline

pilot, a train engineer or cardriver - can lose aware-ness oftheir environmentwhen they turn controlover to automation, saidRob Molloy, the NationalTransportation SafetyBoard's chief highwaycrash investigator.

He pointed to the crashofAir France Flight 447into the Atlantic Oceanwhile flying from Brazil toFrance in 2007. A malfunc-tion in equipment used tomeasure air speed causedthe plane's autopilot todisconnect, catching pilotsby surprise. Confused, theycaused an otherwise flyableplane to stall and fall fromthe sky, killing 228 people.

Planes and trains havehad automation "for 20,30years and there are stilltimes when they're like,'Wow, we didn't expectthat to happen,' " Molloysaid.

Part ofthe problem isoverconfidence in thetechnology causes peopleto think they can checkout. Not long after Teslaintroduced its Autopilotsystem, people were post-ingvideos ofthe car withthe self-driving modeengaged cruising downtree-lined roads or evenhighways with no one inthe driver's seat. Brown,for example, had postedvideos lauding the Auto-pilot system and demon-strating it in action.

You"There is a tendency of

people to take one ride inone ofthese vehicles andthen conclude that becausethey have not crashed overthe course oflO minutesthat the system must beready," said Bryant WalkerSmith, a University ofSouth Carolina professorwho studies the technology

Some experts think theability ofpeople to monitorautonomous systems maybe getting worse. With theadvent of smartphones,people are accustomed tohaving their desire formental stimulation satisfiedimmediately.

"Go into Starbucks, forexample," said Cummings."No one can just patientlywait in line, they're alldoing something on theirphones. It's kind of pa-thetic."

Some automakers maybe rethinking their ap-proach. Two years ago,General Motors announcedit would start selling aCadillac in the fall of 2016that would almost driveitselfon freeways. But lastweek the company con-firmed that the project hasbeen delayed for an un-specified reason.

At previous briefings,company executives saidthey were waiting to per-fect methods of assuringthat the driver pays arten-tion to the road even whenthe system is on.

The system, called "Su-per Cruise' will use cam-eras and radar to keep thecar in the center of a laneand also stay a safe distancebehind cars in front of it.The system will bring thecar to a complete stopwithout driver action iftraffic halts, and it can keepthe car going in stop-and-go traffic. But it's designedfor use only on limited-access divided highways.

Google, meanwhile, isaiming for a car that's fullyself-driving and may noteven have a steering wheelor brake pedals.

ROBERT OUFFER/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

The 2016 Mazda CX-9 crossover balances style with value and power with economy.

Fun-to-drive CX-9 stands outBY ROBERT DUFFERChicago Tribune

The police officer cir-cled back to us saying, "Igotta stop you, man?'

My kids stopped puttingtheir baseball gloves in theliftgate, where we werehaving ice-cold sodas fromthe cooler.

I thought maybe he wasstopping to tell us the roadwas blocked by our doors,which were open to air outa 100-degree day of sum-mer sun on black leatherinterior.

"Is that the new MazdaCX-9?" he asked, standingup his motorcycle andextending his hand.

Indeed it was. In its"soul red metallic" paint(an extra $300), the three-row crossover that is largeon the inside but sleek onthe outside stack out likethe retractable dome atopthe Milwaukee Brewers'Miller Park, where we hadparked for the afternoon.

No longer sharing plat-forms with Ford's midsizecrossover, the CX-9 looksbetter than the competi-tion and its predecessor.Yet in profile the grille onthat long nose hangs likean overbite of Mater pro-portions.

It looks better on theMazdaó midsize sedan,which shares the platform,but on 20-inch wheels anda larger, taller body, "Itkinda sticks out, yeah;'Officer C. agreed.

Parting shot:Fun-to-drive

three-row crossover

It's forgivable on whatotherwise inside and out isa beautiful family car thatis more premium thanmainstream. Mazda callsthe completely redesignedsecond-generation vehicleits flagship.

The $42,270 price tag onthe Grand Touring trimmade Officer C. whistleand shake his head. "Goodthing I'm getting over-time?'

It's larger than compactcrossovers jammed upwith a third-mw safetyseat, but not as roomy asthe Honda Pilot and FordExplorer. But boy does itdrive better.

The CX-9 has a turbo-charged four-cylinder in a

class crowded with V-6engines. Mazda's SkyActivpowertrain is similar toFord's direct injectionturbo engines that do morewith less, topping Ford forbest-in-class fuel economy.It delivers 310 pound-feetoftorque at 2,000 rpm,providing punch and pow-er, with an ability to tow3,500 pounds.

Pair that with no turbolag and the CX-9 becomesa sporting proposition,according to Officer C.,who initially thought itmight be a replacement forthe family hauler. Thisfun-to-drive large cross-over will be his, especiallysince he'll be able to towhis bikes or a small boat.

The light-weighting thataccompanies SkyActivpowertrains has been saidto cause a louder ride, butMazda smoothed that outwith interior padding. It'squiet enough for the kidsto sleep and the driver tolisten to the Cubs close outthe Brewers on AM radio.

Compared with themore expensive and largerFord Explorer Sport,Honda Pilot Elite andToyota Highlander Lim-ited, the CX-9 feels less likea series of packagesslapped on top of eachother and more like a uni-formly premium flagship.

Officer C. was sold with-out even getting behind thewheel.

Replacing rearview mirrormay dim original features

BOB WEBERMotormouth

Q: The inside rearviewmirror of my 1999 AcuraTL has delaminated inone spot, leaving a badband about 2 inchesacross the top. My me-chanic said it would be$300 to replace. Ylkes!Can I buy a replacementinirrorandinstailmy-self? Does it have to beOEM replacement or canI substitute any mirror?

DuringKonrad Eir-

ing's Class 3A sec-tional cross country

meet in 2013, the Barringtonrunner suffered a fracturedfibula. The injury requiredhim to spend more thanthree months in a walkinghoot and cost him the ma-jority of his junior trackseason. For a competitiveyoung athlete - as a sopho-more he anchored Barring-ton's state title-winning4x800-meter relay - theinjury was devastating.However, the injury servedas a twist of fate thatchanged Eiring's life for thebetter.

As he stayed in shape byswimming laps alone in thepool, Eiring made the deci-sion to tell his family,friends and teammates thathe was gay.

"It allowed me an oppor-tunity to be on my own andthink about life without alot of distractions," Eiringsaid. "It was a blessing indisguise. To be honest, Idon't know if I would havecome out when I did with-out the injuxy I may havewaited for college."

Eiring first came out totwo close friends from ayouth group with whom hehad a close bond beyondsports. They reacted withsupport. Eiring began to tellteammates a few monthslater. He told track team-mates, typically one-on-one, when they were out fortraining runs. And the dayafter his junior seasonended, he wrote a Facebookpost telling all of his con-nections that he was gay.

"My senior year, I was themost confident I ever wason the track," Eiring said. "Itwas really powerful. I didn'thave to worry about theselittle things I was trying tohide."

While the country hasmoved toward a greateracceptance of people identi-fying as gay, lesbian, bisexu-al or transgender, the num-

For Loyola's Prassas, positivity leads to positive resultsBY JONAH L ROSENBLLJMPioneer Press

Connor Prassas used to getfrustrated on the golf course. Attimes, that frustration would fol-low him to the next shot or thenext hole.

Prassas, now a senior at Loyola,showcased a new abilityto quicklymove on last year and turned thatinto a tie for 31st place at the 2015Class 3A state tournament

Prassas' improved mental ap-proach will be key if Loyola is topush past New Trier. The Tre-vians beat the Ramblers by 16strokes at last year's Class 3A NewTrier Regional and by threestrokes at the Conant Sectional.New Ther finished third at thesectional and advanced to state asa team, while Loyola tied forfourth, missed out on qualifying asa team and sent two individuals tostate.

In his third year on varsityPrassas has emerged as a leader.

"He is really everything thatyou'd want in a player," Loyolacoach Tim Kane said.

FirSt however, Prassas had tolearn the mental art of golf

'When he was younger, he'dhave a bad hole and he'd reallycany that with him on the nexthole and then that would snowballand things would start to get offtrack," Kane said. "He's reallydone a nice job of maturing andnot letting the negatives get himdown."

Kane said the key for Prassaswas learning that "what he's doingright now isn't everything," andthat regardless of one bad shot,"there are a lot more rounds of golfin his future." Prassas said he nowfills his mind with positivethoughts as he approaches hisnext shot Part of that positivitycomes from knowing he hassomething to be positive aboutFrom experience, he knows he'sgood enough to make up for thatdouble bogey with two birdies in arow.

"I still get frustrated. I just don'tlet it affect my next shot," saidPrassas, who earlier this summerwon the Illinois State JuniorAmateur. "You can't change theshot anymore. It's behind you. Youcan affect the next shot by havingconfidence and being positive.You can't change the shot you just

postseason Prassas twice emergedrelatively unscathed from poten-tially "disastrous" bunker situa-tions.

"He didn't panic' Kane said."Had this been the Connor offreshman or sophomore year, hewould've looked at both of thoseand been like, 'This hole's done,this is terrible?"

His positive outlook has evenchanged how he views the 2015state tournament, where he was inthe top seven before going 5-overon his last four holes.

"T just took all positives away,because through 32 holes withfour holes left, I was in seventhplace, so I know that I cancompete with everybody in thestate," Prassas said. "It was a reallybad finish and I kind of took thathard, but now I'm just thinkingpositively about it."

In addition to Prassas, Loyolareturns junior John Kryscio, whotied for 19th at state last year, andjunior Chip Savane, who shot a 73at last season's New Trier Re-gional.

Given Prassas' revised outlook,perhaps it's no surprise that hethinks the Ramblers have a strongshot of knocking off the Treviansthis season.

"Last year, we were the under-dogs when we would play NewTher," Prassas said. "This year, Isee ourselves as the favorites."

After finishing second in the Class AAstate tournament each of the past threeyears, the Loyola girls golf team has bigexpectations heading into the 2016 season.

"We're very hopeful to be contendersagain, though we always end up in verytough regionals and sectionals just to get tothe state tournament," Ramblers coachHeather Penn said. "It's time to bring that(state championship) home. We've beenworking towards that We're always work-ing towards that That is the big goal anddesire, for us to get over that hump."

Loyola graduated three of its six golferswho played in the state tournament in 2015,but there is plenty of talent returning.Junior Nina Rutkowski finished tied for13th in the state each of her first two highschool seasons. Senior Margaret Hickey,who has verbally committed to Creighton,finished tied for 16th in the state last yearand has finished with one of Loyola's topthree scores at state each of her first threeyears. Fellow senior Kellie McCabe tied for40th in the state in 2015. The latter two willserve as team captains.

After those top three returners, Penn saidshe has a strong mix of players who will becompeting for the Nos. 4-6 spots in thelineup, including junior Tatum Koehn,sophomore Lilly Gentzkow, senior AngelaSohng and junior Caroline Page. All four arereturning golfers. Penn said there are alsofreshman who she expects to come in withtalent and experience after playing inIllinois Junior Golf Association tourna-ments. She said competition for her varsityspots will be tough, but it's a good problemto have.

Penn said she knows that many of theLoyola golfers have worked for the pastnine months in preparation for the season.

"I always feel like (the girls) haveimproved and they're more consistent,'Penn said. "It'll be nice to see whereeverybody is at and re-evaluate."

The past two seasons, Hinsdale Centralhas topped Loyola at state. In 2013, Prospectwon. Penn said she expects Loyola, Hins-dale Central and Prospect to be near the topof the state again, along with New Ther,Glenbrook North, Glenbrook South, andBarrington.
