Friday, October 07, 2005. Couldn't Escape If I Wanted To. You could always throw your support behind the semipro squads of the American Hockey League. Home to the Chicago Wolves and some of the best team names in sports I've ever seen. (Go Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights! You rock, Lowell Lock Monsters! Or there's the United States Hockey League. An amateur league which seems to jumble up cities and mascots randomly. (Des Moines Buccaneers? You're backing a local: Defenseman Joe Sova. After receiving $12 million.

Berwynist: March 2005
http://berwynist.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2005. Do This, Don't Do That. Follows up the mayoral-race roundup in yesterday's Sun-Times. With its own piece. This one emphasizing Woodward and O'Connor, and making much of that incident involving signs getting stolen. Or broken. Or looked at. Or fondled in a rude manner. Or something. The nefariousness will be sorted out in court - the day after the election. The Berwyn Bulletin Board. Posted by Mark @ 6:17 AM 0 comments. Wednesday, March 30, 2005. Easter, but whatever - like they ...

Berwynist: November 2005
http://berwynist.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 12, 2005. Lack of time and enthusiasm are a couple of the reasons to call it quits. Relevance, or lack thereof, is another: there's a vibrant and engaged, if occasionally contentious, crowd talking regularly and in-depth about issues of local concern on Berwyn's Community Forum. Which is much more up-to-date than I could ever hope to be. Lastly, I was mainly motivated to start this blog because I wanted to track the egregious bias that polluted the Gazette. Thanks for reading,.

Berwynist: Damage Control
http://berwynist.blogspot.com/2005/10/damage-control.html
Sunday, October 16, 2005. Site is no help; this 2002 report. From the Institute for Latino Studies at Notre Dame University suggests that it's a serious problem, and growing. But again, no hard numbers. Let's have more anecdotes, then. Help a south Berwynite out- how bad is the gang problem? The Berwyn Police Department is concerned enough about homicides to send one of its finest downstate to learn more about investigating them, as this piece. From the Journal Gazette and Times-Courier.

Berwynist: June 2005
http://berwynist.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 08, 2005. M is for Media Merger. There's an old saw in the newspaper business: "Freedom of the press belongs to the person who owns one." Which is why it's always nice to know who runs the rag you pick up in the morning. The Washington Times. For example, is run, somewhat notoriously, by the Unification Church. Which is headed by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon; last summer Reverend Moon saw fit to declare himself the Messiah. The Contra Costa Times. Which puts out the Berwyn-Cicero Life.

Berwynist: September 2005
http://berwynist.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 28, 2005. Follows the lead of the Chicago Tribune. Today with a story of its own. About the mural that Jeff Zimmerman is painting at Cermak Plaza Shopping Center. (Note to the editors at the Life. Some aldermen expressed concerns about traffic congestion on Harlem Avenue near the mural by gawkers, while others thought the design did not represent the city. In a time when the city doesn't know much about its finances except that its financial situation is bad. I'd like to float the no...

Berwynist: Wanna Play?
http://berwynist.blogspot.com/2005/10/wanna-play.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2005. Like B-grade bruisers with names like Ego and Machine beating the living crap out of one another? There's some wrestling this Saturday at the Golden Ste- I mean, the Berwyn Eagles Club for Nightmare on 26th Street. More fun: last week, sez the Life. The city council voted to increase the number of amusement machines. Berwyn's senior advocate, Frank Paduch, hosted a meeting with state senator Martin Sandoval last week to address seniors' concerns. More casinos were suggested.
