Batavia officials rededicate renovated Memorial Park

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Heidi Clinard and her four children are regular users of Memorial Park.

“I like that it is convenient,” said Clinard, who lives near the park. “We can walk to it. It has a nice playground for the kids.”

Clinard and her children were among those attending Sunday’s rededication celebration at the park.

Recent renovations include new tennis courts, an upgraded lighting system, new backstops and an updated walking path that is now fully accessible.

Clinard is appreciative of the improvements, which included removal and replacement of the fencing and backstops on all three ballfields and regrading of all three ballfields.

“My son just started baseball this year and some of the games will be at the park,” she said.

The 13-acre park is one of the most heavily used parks in Batavia, park district officials

Eric Schelkopf – eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke speaks about the history of Memorial Park during a rededication celebration Sunday. said. The improvements, which cost slightly more than $700,000, were done in two phases over a two-year period of time.

Memorial Park was purchased by the Batavia Park District in 1976 from the Batavia School District. Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke took note of the park’s rich history.

Schielke said the park’s tennis courts were started by

former school teacher Grace McWayne, who also has Grace McWayne Elementary School named after her.

“After receiving $2,000 for teaching for 59 years in Batavia, she gave the money back to the community to build the tennis courts,” he said. “The longevity of this park is something that Batavia should remember.”

All smiles at nature center’s opening

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Jim Gill’s fingers flew over the strings of his banjo, and accordionist Don Stille’s hands were a blur, as they played a high-speed children’s song for a packed house.

“I’m hoping to get everyone singing together,” Gill said, once the laughter died down and he prepared for the next song. “I would even like to get everybody dancing together.”

Before long, the singing, clapping and dancing rocked the house, as nearly 400 people attended the Saturday grand opening of the new Creek Bend Nature Center in the Kane County LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve, 37W700 Dean St., St. Charles.

The new nature center drew children and parents to tour interactive displays, view photos and dioramas of wildlife, make crafts, and take hikes and carriage rides. The nature center

Several attendees said how much they liked the new facili-

ty and all that it offered.

“It’s a really nice building,” said David King of Batavia, as he walked through.

Josh Libman, a staff naturalist, had captured some invertebrates, or animals and insects with no spine, from Brewster Creek and set them up in little dishes of water so visitors could see them under the microscope.

“I was pretty excited to go gather any kind of macro invertebrates I could find – small but not too small that you can’t see them with the naked eye ...”

Libman said.

A steady procession of children stepped up to examine the insects. Among them were Liam, 2, Caellum, 4, and Evelyn Majka, 6, of Geneva, who were fascinated by the tiny creatures, as their parents Bobby and Sarah Majka watched.

“The bugs are pretty awesome,” Bobby Majka said. “I think [the nature center] is gorgeous, and I think we will spend a lot of time here.”

North Aurora moms host parade

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com NORTH AURORA – Kelly Brizzolara of North Aurora and her 3-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, wanted to catch all of the fire engines and floats in Sunday’s North Aurora Community Parade.

So they staked out a prime spot at the corner of Lincolnway and State Street to watch the parade.

“My sister just lives around the corner,” Brizzolara said.

Brooklyn liked seeing the dancers from North Aurora-based Moves Dance Studio.

“We saw some of her sister’s friends there,” Brizzolara said.

The theme of this year’s parade, hosted by the North Aurora Mothers Club, was “One Village, Many Faces.”

For Randy Olson, the parade created a sense of community.

“You see a lot of people you know,” Olson said.

He and his two children, Haley, 7, and Daniel, 6, didn’t mind the cool temperatures as

The fun didn’t stop with the parade. The North Aurora River District Alliance sponsored a post-parade party at Island Park featuring a petting zoo, rubber duck race and other activities.

Jennifer Duncan, of NOARDA, said the group is trying to bring attention to the riverfront. Last year, the group completed a project to build

an interactive stream along the village’s riverfront.

The 125-foot artificial stream reuses rainwater collected from the roof of North Aurora Village Hall to display several aquatic ecosystems.

Interpretive signs explain the ecological significance of each section.

Native plantings and local stone connect the artificial stream with the natural environment of northern Illinois.

The Illinois Republican State Central Committee selected campaign veteran John “Jack” Dorgan of Rosemont to lead the GOP in the upcoming election cycle after a Springfield meeting to consider various candidates.

“I thank the Republican leadership for their confidence and trust, and am excited for the opportunity to grow our Party by talking to voters about our qualified slate of candidates for 2014,” Dorgan said in a prepared statement.

The dysfunction in state government “is a direct result of one-party Democrat rule,” according to Dorgan’s statement.

He promised that if voters give GOP candidates a chance, “we’ll give them a real choice. Illinoisans deserve strong leadership, and that will come from the Republican Party,” according to the statement.

Dorgan is a 12-year member of the Illinois Republican State Central Committee, a village trustee in Rosemont and partner at Dorgan-McPike & Associates, according to a statement from the central committee.

Dorgan-McPike is a lobbyist firm with an office in Springfield. He also worked in the administrations of Governors Thompson and Edgar, as well as on numerous presidential, state and local campaigns.

Dorgan is married with three daughters.

The announcement of a new party chairman follows the resignation of Pat Brady of St. Charles, who stepped down May 7 after four years.

Brady said he stepped down because he had other professional and political goals, as well as he wanted to focus on his wife’s health, as she has been fighting cancer the past two years.

The effort to oust Brady was led, in part, by new state Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove. A key issue was Brady’s support of same-sex marriage, which Oberweis had said was contrary to the party line.

Mark Guethle, chairman of the Kane County Democratic Central Committee, said he knows Dorgan and his partner in the lobbyist firm.

“I know John; I have met him in my trips to Springfield,” Guethle said. “Good luck to John in his new post.”

COACH SLY’S CORNER

Jeff Krage for Shaw Media

St. Charles East players celebrate their IHSA Class 4A St. Charles East Sectional title Saturday after defeating Glenbard North, 7-6.

IHSA CLASS 4A ST. CHARLES EAST SECTIONAL: ST. CHARLES EAST 7, GLENBARD NORTH 6

Collalti clear-headed in clutch for East

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Sarah Collalti starred in the most dizzying inning of the St. Charles East softball season Saturday, delivering a bases-clearing double to help the Saints win the 4A sectional title on their home field.

Her afternoon culminated with a victory lap around the field as players hailed a 7-6 victory against Glenbard North. The trot ended near the front of the East dugout, the same place where Collalti’s season became blurry six weeks ago.

Collalti took a bat above the left eye before batting practice April 16 while walking behind an unknowing teammate, who was stretching out her swing.

“I just fell on the ground,” Collalti said, “and that was that.”

Her recovery and the Saints’ surge have been much more. Collalti’s eye, once swollen shut, now is sharp enough to discern pitches from some of the state’s top remaining aces.

East, long on the cusp of postseason success under cheerful coach Kelly Horan, happily has played into the final eight for the first time in nearly 20 years. This one took some moxie, as the Saints (31-5) faced deficits of 2-0 in the

third inning and 5-2 in the fifth to advance to Monday’s 4:30 p.m. Rosemont Supersectional against Downers Grove South.

“We’re definitely a very fun team,” said Collalti, a junior who has settled in at designated player since her late May return. “I mean, losing isn’t fun, but we knew that we had what it takes to beat this team. And so we kept upbeat and kept pushing to get those extra runs.”

Before addressing East’s breakthrough bottom of the fifth – which included run-scoring hit-by-pitches from Alex Latoria and Kate Peterburs ahead of Collalti’s heroics – Panthers coach Josh Sanew lamented lost chances to stagger the Saints.

“Put their heads down a little bit more for them,” he said.

Glenbard North (26-5) left two runners in scoring position in its three-run fifth, as No. 2 hitter Alex Caliva flied out to Saints right fielder Olivia Lorenzini to end the inning.

East capitalized quickly, loading the bases with no outs on nine-hitter Shelby Holt’s opposite field single to right and a pair of would-be sacrifices gone better. Lexi Perez beat out her bunt for an infield hit. Tess Hupe (three hits) reached on her bunt when Caliva did not get over from second base to cover

first in time.

Collalti ultimately shrugged her shoulders at her double, which came on a 1-2 pitch from Lafayette-bound Panthers ace Lindsey Cherry.

After flying out to center field in her first at-bat and smacking an RBI sacrifice fly there to tie the game at 2-all in the fourth, Collalti jumped on a high outside pitch her third time up. With the bases loaded and the Saints trailing, 5-4, Collalti was “totally surprised” when she sent the ball over the head of Panthers center fielder Sarah Petzold and to the wall.

“I like to think I’m a consistent contact hitter,” Collalti said. “I wasn’t originally getting on. I was having a lot of flyouts to center, and I was hoping that I could get just one that was right over enough. And that finally happened.”

Equally sudden was her injury, which Collalti described as “one out of a thousand.” Assistant coach Jared Gutesha called East trainers right away, and Collalti, who never lost consciousness, was taken to the emergency room.

“It just kind of happened. It happened so fast. It was rough,” Holt said.

“It wasn’t a good thing, but she came back well from it, obviously. She delivered today, clearing the bases, so that was awesome.”

Coach Sly gives major kudos to the local athletes that are still tearing it up in the last week of May or, better yet, first week of June.

It can’t be easy to stay focused as a high school athlete once school is out, the seniors have all graduated and it’s 80, 85 degrees and humid outside (or worse yet, inside a gym).

Some of your friends are already trekking up to the lake house, and you’re still expected to be locked in, just like always, in practices and games at the end of a long season.

Then again, when you’re playing this late in the school year (or after the school year, Sly should say), that means a team is doing something special, and that’s definitely been the case for St. Charles North boys volleyball, St. Charles East baseball and softball and St. Francis baseball.

If there was a more exciting game than the North boys volleyball team’s three-game, back-andforth rumble with Oak Park-River Forest on Friday, Sly’d like to hear about it.

Even if boys volleyball isn’t your thing, any sports fan can appreciate the drama, competitiveness and emotion that was on display during the North Stars’ triumph in Hoffman Estates.

A Tri-Cities boys volleyball team playing in June … who’d have thunk it? Always thought that was the domain of the big boys in DuPage County.

You know what stinks, though?

That these teams can’t strut around the hallways at school and boast about their big postseason wins with all their classmates, since school’s out for the summer.

Oh well. Guess that’s what Facebook, Twitter and text messaging is for.

Wednesday through Saturday The Kane County Chronicle begins its spring sports athlete of the year postseason awards packages, choosing an athlete of the year, coach of the year and all-area teams for the various spring sports.

St. Charles East’s Joe Hoscheit dives back into first base during Saturday’s IHSA Class 4A St. Charles East Sectional championship.

IHSA CLASS 4A STC EAST SECTIONAL: STC EAST 5, WHEATON NORTH 3

East awakening the echoes

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East baseball coach Len Asquini knows what it’s like to win a state championship.

His second stint as Saints coach is about trying to replicate those feelings for a new crop of Saints ballplayers, and East is starting to flirt with making that a realistic scenario.

East defeated Wheaton North, 5-3, in Saturday’s IHSA Class 4A St. Charles East Baseball Sectional championship game, pulling off its second straight seeding upset in sectionals. The triumph marked the Saints’ first sectional title since 2004 under former head coach and current assistant Mark Foulkes, and East’s first sectional crown under the four-class system.

“You want to keep moving forward, another game, another game, another game for the kids,” said Asquini, in the second season of his second tour of duty with the program. “It’s a great experience for them, it’s a great experience for the community and the school.

You want that for them, to let them experience it and feel it,

because it is a lot of fun. This is a wonderful moment.”

East (26-11) advances to battle Jacobs (25-11) in today’s 7 p.m. supersectional at the Rockford Aviators’ stadium.

The fourth-seeded Saints, the visiting team on their home field, spotted third-seeded Wheaton North a 3-0 lead after the bottom of the first, but the Saints soon pulled even.

East starting pitcher Nick Huskisson and first baseman Brian Sobieski notched consecutive doubles off Falcons starting pitcher Lake Bachar (8-1) to open the top of the second.

Sobieski scored on a throwing error to cut the Falcons’ lead to 3-2 before an RBI fielder’s choice chopper by center fielder Anthony Sciarrino closed the scoring in the inning with the game tied at 3.

Sciarrino, East’s No. 9 hitter, again played a role as the Saints took the lead in the top of the fifth. He led off the inning with a single, then was sacrificed to second base by Nicholas Erickson. Third baseman Sean Dunne drew a walk, making it first and second with one out, when left

fielder Joe Hoscheit pulled a grounder to the left side of the infield that paid dividends.

The ball skimmed off Sciarrino, but the umpires ruled that Wheaton North third baseman Greg Scandora had a play on the ball first, so Sciarrino was allowed to score the go-ahead run once the ball bounded away.

“That third baseman had an opportunity to field the ball, and when he didn’t field that ball, if it hits our guy, it hits our guy,” Asquini said.

“The gate’s open. He had an opportunity to field it so, by rule, they made the right call.

That’s what I saw at third base. I saw Anthony behind him, not in front. If he was in front, then it’s a different story, and then he should be out.”

Sciarrino was especially gratified to play a part in both of East’s run-scoring innings in light of an offensive tailspin this spring.

“I had a pretty good junior year and coming in, I thought I’d have a good senior year but unfortunately that’s not the case,” Sciarrino said. “It feels great to finally contribute to the team [offensively] and help us win a huge game here.”

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips foolish. Am I trying to recapture the “would have/ could have/should have” years? – Ed In Louisiana Dear Ed: Shame on your friend for raining on your parade. With a best friend like this, you should never forget to bring an umbrella.

You’re celebrating the fact that as a nontraditional student you have earned your master’s degree.

That’s a laudable accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated in any way you would like. Please accept my sincere congratulations, graduate!

Dear Abby: I love to read.

I have kept every book I have read, so I probably have close to 600 books in my library, which is actually a small room, overflowing with books and nothing else.

Why do you think I can’t let go of them?

I lend them out to only a select few, and I always make sure they are returned.

I could do lovely things with this room if my books weren’t in the way, but I can’t seem to part with them. – Bookworm In New York Dear Bookworm: It’s probably because your books have become an extension of yourself.

Because you would like to do something else with the space they occupy, sort through them and keep only the most precious ones.

If there are titles you would like to read again one day, do as many others are doing – read them on an e-reader.

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: I took care of my grandmother until her death a few years ago, and now my mother is very sick. I feel angry because I’m only 23, and it seems all I have ever done is take care of sick people. I sit at the hospital sometimes just fuming.

Mom was a smoker and now she has cancer. I keep thinking if she hadn’t smoked, she wouldn’t be in this fix, and neither would I. I always visit her and try to do everything she asks of me, and yet I think I’m starting to hate her. I dread going to the hospital, sitting there and waiting for test results, etc.

What kind of daughter has feelings like this? – Worst Daughter On Earth Dear Daughter: Please stop beating yourself up.

Your feelings are normal.

You have a right to be angry that your mother is sick.

At 23, you have had an unusual amount of responsibility thrust upon you for someone your age. That her disease has taken over your life is also a reason to be angry.

However, please stop blaming her for her illness.

Right now, you need each other. And nonsmokers get cancer, too.

The American Cancer Society has support groups where family members can safely share their feelings.

Please check them out.

Dear Abby: I’m 43 and went back to school the nontraditional way. I will graduate soon with my master of human services degree.

I will be the first person in my immediate family to have a degree.

My best friend thinks I’m foolish because I posed for graduation photos and ordered a class ring.

She said I am too old to be having graduation pictures and a ring.

I was thrilled to have them, but now I’m wondering if I really am being

Nothing is better than counting

SOLUTION

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Sydney J. Harris, a newspaper journalist from Chicago who died in 1986, said: “An idealist believes the short run doesn’t count.

A cynic believes the long run doesn’t matter. A realist believes that what is done or left undone in the short run determines the long run.”

A bridge player knows that counting is important in the long run – the 13 tricks of a deal. Here, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads the club 10?

If you were sitting South, would you have opened one diamond or one club, or passed?

With ace-king, ace, you should almost always open the bidding.

It is textbook to bid one diamond because if West overcalls one spade and North makes a negative double, you can rebid two clubs. Note also that after you open one diamond, if West passes and North responds one heart, it is better to rebid two hearts (missing a fourth trump) than one no-trump (with no spade stopper) or two clubs (which promises five diamonds and risks ending in a 4-2 diamond fit).

In the given auction, two clubs was New Minor Forcing, asking opener to describe his hand further. Two diamonds denied both three spades and four hearts.

South has seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts and four clubs. If an idealist crosses to his hand with a heart to take a diamond or spade finesse, he will go down with this layout.

However, a realist would take the first trick on the board and play a diamond. He would be happy to sacrifice two tricks in the suit to establish two winners.
