JOLIET – Whatever Makayla Chism did at halftime Tuesday night, she might want to continue doing it for every game. Chism, a 5-foot-9 junior wing for Joliet West, made every shot she took in the third quarter, except for a desparation, three-quarter court heave at the buzzer. And even that shot was on line but fell short.

Phone alarms are starting to have a purpose again and maybe, just maybe, you are finding a little extra “me” time available. A little extra time to rediscover your hometown. Let’s talk shopping.

When planning an adventure across southeast Utah last week, my husband and I pinpointed the usual destinations: Three national parks, a pair of state parks and a slot canyon in the Muddy Creek Wilderness. We beheld some of Utah’s natural wonders, including arches, natural bridges and unique rock formations called hoodoos (also known among the locals as goblins). But we set our sights on one more wonder off the beaten path: Pando the Trembling Giant.

LAKE FOREST – Justin Fields saw the same thing on tape that many Bears fans did. “I felt like I was a little bit too conservative at times during the game,” Fields said Wednesday at Halas Hall. “Definitely with guys like DJ and Chase on the outside, if we do have one-on-one on the outside, potentially throwing it up and seeing what happens.”Receiver DJ Moore caught just two passes and Chase Claypool didn’t catch any in the Bears’ loss to the Packers on Sunday at Soldier Field.

The Southern Café restaurant in Crest Hill is “a mix of good home cooking and a dash of culinary genius,” according to its Facebook page. Although The Southern Café opened for business in 2008, I had never eaten there, although some of my friends had and loved it. So when a couple of us got together for a project one late morning, we ordered a combination of breakfast and lunch entrees to see which we liked best. The restaurant was packed when we picked up our food, certainly a good sign.
