S2 Transformers fans flock to Pheasant Run

By CHARLES [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – A panel discussion had barely started Saturday afternoon when the moderator noticed Brett Scott’s

Transform-e r s c o s -tume.

B r e t t , a 13-year-old Aurora r e s i d e n t , was in a head-to-toe outfit for S m o k e -s c r e e n , a b l u e and red-t h e m e d A u t o B o t from the

popular Transformers brand. He received multiple rounds of applause for his seconds-long transformation from a robot to a car that could move around on the ground.

“I always thought that Transformers were cool,” Brett said after the panel. “I always liked cars and robots, and then I heard that [the brand] was about cars turning into ro-bots.”

Brett and his family joined hundreds of other people at Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles for Bot Con 2015, the officially licensed collectors’ convention for Hasbro’s Trans-formers brand.

Among the many events was a panel on Transformers cosplay, or costume play. One of the panelists, Den Pratt of Red Oak, Iowa, talked about how dressing up empowers her in situations where she would otherwise be anxious and have stage fright.

Pratt said she made one of her costumes from all uphol-stery foam and fabric.

“[A] hot glue gun is very much your friend and your worst enemy,” Pratt said, ex-plaining that the glue is not gentle on exposed fingers.

Later on during the panel, Brett and 12 other costumed

fans took center stage to show off their outfits. Brett said his outfit, which took about a month to make, included a

metal frame bolted together to allow it to hinge and transform.

Jenna Long of Colorado Springs, Colorado, said her

full outfit of Tailgate, an Au-tobot from the Transformers IDW comic series, took three months to create.

The suit is made of foam flooring and acrylic paint, Long said. The suit does get warm but it was constructed for breathability, she said.

Long said she dressed up to show her love for Transform-ers and, she admitted, for the attention and to get reactions from different people.

Panelist Razzie M. Bessai, who was dressed up as the character Sunstorm, was also candid in her explanation for wearing a costume.

“I will be absolutely honest – I do this because it’s silly and it’s fun,” said Bessai, who flew in from southern England to at-tend the convention.

Celebrating Swedish traditions at Swedish DayBy ERIC SCHELKOPF

[email protected]

GENEVA – Dressed in blue and gold – the colors of the Swedish flag – Vayna Castle, of Hoffman Estates, was among those participating in tradi-tional Maypole dancing at Sunday’s 105th annual Swed-ish Day festival at Good Tem-plar Park in Geneva.

“My mother is from Swe-den, and she is here today,” Castle said. “I’ve been here four or five times. I like being in touch with my ancestry.”

Sponsored by the local chapter of the International Organization of Good Tem-plars, Swedish Day is an al-cohol-free celebration of the Scandinavian tradition of Mid-sommar, the longest day of the year in Sweden.

Swedish Day has been held since 1925 in Good Templar Park. Geneva will celebrate its Swedish roots during Swedish

Days, which starts Tuesday.After the Maypole danc-

ing, Castle was at a Swedish merchandise booth admiring a Midsummer crown, a type

of floral wreath worn on your head.

“I wanted it before I danced,” Castle said.

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren,

R-Winfield, also was on hand for the festivities, which are a longtime tradition for his family. Hultgren said he has been attending Swedish Day

with his family for more than 30 years.

Attending Swedish Day also has been a longtime tra-dition for Dennis Eksten, 80, of Loves Park. He has strong Swedish roots, as all four of his grandparents were born in Sweden.

“It’s a wonderful festival,” Eksten said. “This is the best Swedish event in the whole state.”

Eksten’s love for Sweden was exemplified be the T-shirt he wore. Translated from Swedish to English read, the shirt said, “I would rather be in Sweden.”

S4 ROSARY GIRLS SWIMMING

Yager qualifies for ’16 Olympic swim trials

Photo provided by Rosary High School

Alexis Yager, a Rosary junior to be from Batavia, has qualified for the 2016 U.S. Olympic swim trials in the 200-meter breaststroke next June.

By KEVIN DRULEY [email protected]

Rosary student Alexis Yag-er qualified this weekend for the 2016 U.S. Olympic trials in Omaha, Nebraska while com-peting for the Academy Bul-lets club team in Iowa City, Iowa.

Yager, a junior from Bat-avia, met the time standard in the 200-meter breaststroke, swimming 2:34.91 at the Swim Pink Invitational at the Uni-versity of Iowa.

“It’s awesome. It was defi-nitely our goal to get her to trials,” said Bill Schalz, Yag-

er’s Rosary coach and a Bul-lets executive. “This is not a time of the year where we’re typically resting, so it’s pretty exciting for her to do it right now, because we do expect her to go even faster in Au-gust when she goes to junior nationals.”

Trials qualifying stan-dards are set between each Olympics. Yager beat the 200 breaststroke cut by eight hun-dredths of a second, dropping her personal record in the event by about four seconds.

The trails are set for June 26 to July 3, 2016, and will determine the American

swimming contingent for the Games in Rio de Janeiro, Bra-zil, later that summer.

“She saw a lot of improve-ment last summer and kind of dedicated herself to this is what she wanted to do,” Bul-lets head coach Todd Capen said. “This was the first step.”

The 2014 Kane County Chronicle Girls Swimmer of the Year, Yager won the 200-yard individual medley title at the IHSA state meet in November with a clocking of 2:02.15.

She also was runner-up in the 100-yard breaststroke at 1:04.17.

Schwarber ends stint on high noteBy GORDON [email protected]

MINNEAPOLIS – The Kyle Schwarber designated-hitter tour through Cleveland and Minnesota ended Sunday with another sold-out crowd and rave reviews. The only thing left is the encore.

The Cubs touted prospect, who jumped from Double A to the big-league roster strictly for a week of DH duty, finished on a high note on his way to his Triple A Iowa debut Tues-day.

He delivered a two-run sin-gle – if not a message – in his next-to-last at-bat, a line drive to left-center in the eighth in-ning that turned a two-run lead into a four-run lead en route to an 8-0 victory over the Twins.

“It was an unreal experi-ence,” said Schwarber, the No. 4 overall draft pick out of In-diana a year ago. “I proved to myself that I’ve got a chance to do it. And I got to work on a little bit more things. I wasn’t too happy with the past cou-ple days with the at-bats, but it was just a little dabble into what could happen, and it was

a really good time.”The Cubs went 3-2 during

the Schwarber road trip, in-cluding a series victory against a Twins team that had the best home record in the American League.

“Great kid, man. He han-dled all of this perfectly,” said manager Joe Maddon, who talked with Schwarber before the game to reiterate the plan to return him to the minors and discuss specifics to work on.

“He definitely helped us. He contributed, helped us win a couple of games. Did an out-standing job. It couldn’t have turned out better.”

Schwarber went 8 for 22 (.364) with a homer, triple and six RBI during his six-game “pit stop” in the majors. That included five starts, one in-tentional walk and opponents employing defensive shifts against him all week.

He also struck out eight times, including six during a 1-for-12 stretch before his eighth-inning hit.

“I love the fact that he just competes,” Maddon said. “Couple tough at-bats, but he competed the entire game.

That’s what you notice.”Teammate Anthony Rizzo,

who hit his third home run in as many days, was impressed.

“He got a nice taste, and now it’s really nice that he gets to go down to Triple-A hav-ing success up here and know he can do it,” Rizzo said. “He knows he can hit up here, so he has to just go down and keep developing and keep build-ing.”

Schwarber is expected to return to catching every day at Iowa and get some outfield work late in the season before an anticipated return to the big leagues by September, if not earlier based on need.

“It was a great experience, and now it’s time to go down and start working on all the stuff I need to work on and hopefully get back up here,” Schwarber said.

Is he a little disappointed to be heading back to the minors?

“No. I knew this day was going to come,” he said “It was just a matter of when the time was ticking down. I’m not disappointed at all. Being able to see what it takes to play a major-league game, it was awe-some.”

CUBS 8, TWINS 0

Jones is youngest to wins two national races in the same weekend

NASCAR XFINITY SERIES: ATTICAT 300

By TIM CRONINShaw Media Correspondent

JOLIET – It was a good week to be Erik Jones.

On Tuesday, he won a short-track race in Berlin, Michigan.

On Friday, he won a NA-SCAR Camping World truck series race in Newton, Iowa, and moved to third in the standings.

On Sunday, he made histo-ry, winning the Owens Corn-ing AttiCat 300, the weather delayed Xfinity Series race at Chicagoland Speedway, to be-come, at 19 years and 23 days, the youngest driver to win two NASCAR sanctioned rac-es in the same weekend.

No wonder Steve deSou-za, the manager of Joe Gibbs Racing’s Xfinity series team, is optimistic about the lad’s future.

“He’s doing everything we thought he could do,” deSou-za said. “I’m sure we’ll see him in the Cup at some time in the future.”

That would be the Sprint Cup, the top level in stock car racing, where he has run part of one race, relieving Denny Hamlin in Kansas earlier this year.

His first start is to come. When it does, look for some-one with the patience of a veteran and the hotfoot of a winner. For now, Jones is the

man to look for in the mirrors in the Xfinity and Camping World truck series.

When Ryan Blaney saw him coming on Sunday’s lap 189 restart, he could do noth-ing about it. Blaney went low to run a shorter track but tighter line in his Penske Rac-ing Ford, and Jones, running high, motored by, at first in-crementally, and then with a rush in his Gibbs-prepared Toyota.

“He got tight or loose, and I got a run and barreled into Turn 3,” Jones said. “It was a matter of him making a little mistake. I don’t know if we’d have won if he hadn’t done that.”

Given the ease with while Jones had carved his way through the field on previous occasions, there was little reason to doubt a pass would come somewhere in the last 15 miles. Jones had started 11th and climbed into the lead by the 39th lap, and led on six occasions in all.

He even came back from a bizarre snafu in which he and 18 other drivers were sent to the back of the field for pitting when the pits were closed. Race control said the pits were open, but the men working the lights and the red flag didn’t get the word. Most of the leaders came in, and NASCAR slapped their wrists.

WHITE SOX 3, RANGERS 2 (11 INN.)

Beckham delivers with walkoff HRBY TONI GINNETTIFor Sun-Times Media

CHICAGO – White Sox manager Robin Ventura went through his share of tough sea-sons in 16 years as a player.

It’s why he never had any false illusions about how diffi-cult managing can be.

“There are days that are tougher than others and stretches that are tougher than others,” he said. “That’s part of doing it. You never think you’re just going to go into something and it’s not go-ing to be hard. Having played long enough, you see different things pan out, good and bad, and you know any of that is possible.”

There was more good than bad in the Sox’ 3-2 victory in 11 innings over the visiting Texas Rangers on Sunday. That in-cludes a maligned defense mak-ing two critical inning-ending

double plays in the 10th and 11th, and role player Gordon Beckham hitting the game-win-ning, walk-off home run.

“It was a tough game all around, and a good win for the guys,” Ventura said. ‘“We were wheeling and dealing put-ting guys on base [intention-ally]. Then you finally break through.”

The Sox still lacked the abil-ity to hit with runners in scor-ing position, going 2-for-9 and stranding 10.

And tough-luck starter Jose Quintana didn’t get the win despite allowing only two solo home runs through seven in-nings.

But the bullpen delivered four scoreless innings and the defense came through with those double plays after inten-tional walks were issued the batter before.

Beckham, a defensive re-placement at third base in the

10th, started the last double play (with the bases loaded), throwing home to Tyler Flow-ers, who then threw out batter Hanser Alberto at first.

Then Beckham led off by drilling the first pitch from lefty Alex Claudio over the left-field fence.

“He’s been doing it for a while,” Ventura said. “That double play he turned, it’s right in his wheelhouse. He comes in and gets stuff going. And then he comes up and hits the ho-mer. There was good stuff all the way around.”

The victory gave the Sox their first series win since a three-game sweep of Hous-ton earlier this month. And it helped soothe the lingering pain of the eight-game losing streak.

“We’re doing the best we can every day and hoping things will turn around,” said Sox pitcher Jake Petricka (2-2).

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby: I have a dilem-ma. Last year my son became a professional in his sport, and he has recently become famous. Since then, everyone is asking for tickets to games because they want in on the action.

My son gets tickets, but they are not free and they do cost him something. It’s becoming very stressful for him. Friends and family from all over now ask him for tickets. I don’t want to impose upon him for other than immediate family.

How do I tactfully tell these people that I won’t ask? I don’t want it to sound like HE doesn’t want to do it. I want it to come from a concerned mom who simply doesn’t get tickets for every-one, so they need to go online and buy them like normal people do. – Professional Dilemma

Dear P.D.: These people may not realize they are being presumptuous. Tell them frankly, the same way you explained it to me, that the tickets aren’t free to the players. These people may not be aware of it.

Dear Abby: A good friend of mine began having trouble in her marriage of 16 years. She has been coming to me for ad-vice. Her husband has grown distant and refuses physical interaction. He speaks to her as if he is always irritated with her.

The reason she seeks my advice is because I’m going through a divorce and my husband exhibited the same signs. I have tried to give her the best advice I can, but now she’s implying that her husband is attracted to me! It makes me very uncomfort-able since I haven’t done any-thing wrong. What should I do? – Walking On Eggshells

Dear Walking On Eggshells: Your friend is an emotional wreck right now. Because her husband hasn’t given her the reason he is emotionally abusing her, she’s desperate-ly looking for a reason. A step in the right direction would be to assure her that you are not, never were, and never will be attracted to her hus-band. Then suggest that she may need more support than

you can give her and she might find it helpful to talk to a professional counselor.

Dear Abby: I was an invited guest at a dinner party along with a few other couples. During conversation, one of the guests mean-spiritedly used the N-word twice. I was appalled. Because it was not my home, I said nothing.

Please tell me how I could have handled this to let the bigot know this wasn’t acceptable and was just plain wrong. I’m not sure I want to associate with him or even be in his company again. – Should Have Spoken Up

Dear Should Have Spoken Up: If you choose to avoid the person, that’s your privilege and it’s fine with me. There’s a saying, “All that’s needed for evil to flourish is for good people to say nothing.” It would not have been rude to have said, “Please don’t use that word around me, because I find it offensive.”

Dear Abby: I am dating a man whose two grown chil-dren live out of state. He and his wife divorced when the kids were young, and he tried hard to keep a good relation-ship with them. I can see how much he loves them and how painful it is for him to not have them in his life. He has no idea why they are distant. I suggested he ask them directly what happened. He said he has tried.

He hasn’t heard much from his children for several years. Holding on to nega-tivity or the past is so much more work than letting it go. – Wise Lady From The Midwest

Dear Wise Lady: If your boyfriend was present in his children’s lives in spite of the divorce while they were growing up, it’s possible they may be so involved in their own lives that they have “forgotten” their dad might appreciate hearing from them.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Elsa Schiaparelli, an Italian who lived in London and New York before moving to Paris and becoming a designer, said, “A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness.”

A good bridge player is a like a sorceress who dispenses happi-ness to her side and unhappiness to her opponents.

How would an enchant-ress play today’s deal in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest diamond, and South takes the first trick with her nine?

There’s that boring auction again! It is the most common not only in newspaper columns but also at the tables.

Declarer starts with only seven top tricks: three spades, one heart, one diamond (trick one) and two clubs. But she can gain at least two more winners from the clubs, even if she loses a trick to the queen. What, though, is the danger?

Trick one made it clear that West has the diamond ace-queen hovering over South’s king-jack. So, if East gains the lead, he will push a diamond through declarer and West will run some – perhaps too many – winners. East is the danger hand who must be kept off play.

To achieve this, declarer plays a spade to dummy’s king, then magically runs specifically the club jack. When it wins, she plays a club to her 10, cashes the club ace, and claims an overtrick.

There is one last important point. At trick one, East should play his diamond deuce, not cover dummy’s six with his eight.

When one cannot play a nine or higher, give count. Here, East’s lowest shows an odd number of cards in that suit.

What is the danger?Not what, but who
