Escape to your own backyard this summer PARK PERSPECTIVES Natalie Seidel Ever find yourself thinking, “I need a vacation from my vacation ... .”

Between wrangling up children, packing suitcases and dodging crowds, summer getaways have become stressful.

The Wall Street Journal finds, “Airport crowds are expected to be the largest in the U.S. since 2008.”

In general, large crowds and hot-weather thunderstorms disrupt flight schedules causing summertime flights to run later.

According to AAA, gas prices in Illinois are on a hot streak with the highest averages in the continental U.S. As of earlier this month, the average price of gasoline in the Chicago metro area was about $4.41 per gallon.

So, why endure the expensive miseries of travel when there is so much to do in your own backyard?

Movies in the Park – Catch a free, outdoor Movie in the Park. On July 11, enjoy “The Sandlot” at Eagle Brook Park, and Aug. 8, see “Wreck-It Ralph” at Moore Park. Both screenings begin at 8:30 p.m.

Concerts in the Park – This summer’s Concerts in the Park series is back at Island Park on Wednesdays in July.

Concerts in the Park will feature Mr. Myers on July 10, White Saddle Band on July

The Butterfly House at Peck Farm Park in Geneva offers fun for families.

17, Dueling Pianos on July 24 and Spoken Four on July 31.

All concerts begin at 7 p.m.

Stone Creek Mini Golf – This Friday and Saturday, enjoy Twilight Golf Nights at Stone Creek Mini Golf from 9 p.m. to midnight.

In celebration of our 25th anniversary, enjoy 25 percent off admission on the 25th of each month through August, or two-for-one admission every Tuesday.

Peck Farm Park – Peck Farm Park boasts an entire day of

free, family-fun activities.

Pack a picnic before hiking around Peck Lake, biking along trails or cooling down inside the historical Peck House.

Donate a few dollars to see live butterflies in the Butterfly House.

Plus, enjoy free concerts at Peck the last Sundays of June and August from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Sunset Pool – Splash into fun at Sunset Pool. Chill out with poolside screenings of

“SpongeBob SquarePants” on June 27, “Brave” on July 25 and “Hotel Translyvania” on Aug. 15 at Flick n’ Float Nights.

Or get some alone time while your teens enjoy exclusive access to the pool during Teen Nights on June 26, July 12 and Aug. 1.

Finally, be transported to a Hawaiian paradise at our Midsummer Luau with authentic Hawaiian entertainment and dinner from 6 to 9 p.m. July 19.

Plan ahead to make the most of your stay-cation.

Finish off any chores or housework so you won’t be tempted once your time off begins.

Follow a set of rules-tobreak routine and mimic a traditional vacation. For example, ignore pesky work emails and turn off cellphones.

Document your stay-cation with photos and souvenirs.

If you’re especially proud of any photographs, send them to marketing@genevaparks.com for use in our seasonal brochures and other marketing materials.

For information on ways to enjoy summer in your own backyard, call the Geneva Park District at 630-232-4542 or visit www.genevaparks. org.

Swedish Days opens to big crowds

By BRENDA SCHORY

“Lots of people from out of town and locals mixed in as well out to support the community. ... That’s what it’s all about.”

bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Swedish Days opened Tuesday to a butter-yellow sun in a bright blue sky, a sweep of light clouds and a mild breeze, a perfect start to the six-day festival in downtown Geneva.

Crowds packed Third Street, listening to concerts on the lawn, eating everything from roast beef sandwiches to roasted ears of corn and shopping.

“As long as she’s shopping, she’s happy,” said Gary Noland of North Aurora, sitting on a bench with his wife, Judy Noland, and a cousin, Karen Neill, of San Diego. “And as long as she’s happy, I’m happy.”

Noland was finishing up the last of his Italian beef sandwich, his wife was eating a roasted ear of sweet corn, and Neill was enjoying a Ream’s bratwurst replete with mustard.

“I came for the food because you can’t get these out in California,” Neill said. “I traveled 1,800 miles to help my parents, but we came here to have a break, and it was a nice break.”

A train display at the Geneva History Center, 113 S. Third St., also served as a big attraction. Amy Conley of Geneva and her two sons, Andrew, 6, and Grant, 3, stood watching seven model trains as they meandered through an elaborate setup, hauling cargo and people.

“We’ve been here all morning,” said Conley, as her sons gazed at the model engines at work. “We’re having a great time. We have been here at the history center all day, watching the trains. We’re go-

ing to walk up and down the street and probably find some lunch.”

“We have been busy, lots of families and kids to see the train show and the exhibits,” history center curator Jessica Strube said. “We are charging admission, but that’s not de-

terring anyone.”

The history center also is offering a walking taco for a walking tour of 25 historical buildings in downtown Geneva. Executive Director Terry Emma described a walking taco.

Fritos, you cut off the top, you smoosh it a little bit,” said Emma, speaking from a booth just outside the history center. “You add a scoop of meat, and you do cheese, lettuce, sour cream and taco sauce, put a spoon in it, and you go.”

Lynda Johnson, secretary

of the history center board, suggested the walking taco in connection with the walking tour.

By early afternoon, they sold 50 walking tacos and tour guides, and plan to be open for the entire festival.

“We have 400 pounds of taco meat waiting in the freezer,” Emma said.

Mackenzie Carroll, a clerk at Circa selling items at a sidewalk sale, said business was good and lots of people liked their signs, proclaiming, among other things, “Sweet Home Geneva.”

“Lots of people from out of town and locals mixed in as well out to support the community,” Carroll said. “That’s what it’s all about. And everyone loves our signs.”

Maureen Cosyns and Shari Kelly of Embassy Group, an office they rent above the history center, were walking around their very first Swedish Days with Cosyns’ Great Dane, Emma.

“The crowds, the music, the food – it’s perfect weather,” Cosyns said. “I had a pork chop sandwich – it was delicious.”

“I had cheese curds,” Kelly said.

“We’re going to the concert later to hear 7th Heaven,” Cosyns said.

Today marks Lazarus House Good Neighbor Day KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Today is Lazarus House Good Neighbor Day in St. Charles, a designation that began from a proclamation by former Mayor Don DeWitte.

“We are forever grateful to former Mayor Don DeWitte for proclaiming June 19 as Lazarus House Good Neighbor Day, for that

gives us a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness on the issue of homelessness,” Executive Director Liz Eakins said in a written statement.

“When the public drives by our buildings, most have no idea what is inside. At this moment, we are housing and feeding over 50 people daily from our community.

These are people who are counting on us for a ‘hand

up,’ and we are privileged and honored to provide exactly that.”

Now entering its 16th year, Lazarus House has served hundreds of people at risk of homelessness.

The shelter provides a safe home with caring hospitality, nourishing meals and customized case management to help its shelter and transitional living guests address their issues and regain

independence.

Its rental assistance program monthly helps 38 households who might face eviction if it weren’t for the grant-funded rental subsidies and support services Lazarus House provides.

Donations are welcome to support the daily operations and may be made online at www.lazarushouseonline. com or by mail at Lazarus

House, 214 Walnut St., St. Charles, IL 60174. Lazarus House is a nonprofit charitable organization, so gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Lazarus House serves those connected to St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia and rural Kane County.

Those needing shelter may call 630-587-2144. Those seeking rent or utility assistance may call 630-587-5872.

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia plan commissioners are set to review plans for a proposed Walgreens store in downtown Batavia.

The meeting will be at 7 p.m. today at the Batavia Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave. Batavia Enterprises wants to move Walgreens from its 12,650-squarefoot store at 138 W. Wilson St. in the Batavia Plaza into a 15,000-square-foot building with a drive-thru just east of East China Inn in the shopping center.

Batavia Enterprises owns Batavia Plaza. The plans for the store have elicited debate because the store would be set back about 70 feet from Wilson Street. The city’s zoning code requires a front building setback to be 10 feet or less.

In a letter to Batavia planning and zoning officer Joel Strassman, Batavia Enterprises president Dan Stellato said the property has poor soil and as a result, the new building would have to be built on concrete caissons or piers.

“The additional cost of this process is presently under investigation,” Stellato said in the May 14 letter.

Say hello to Melba

Cow statue brightens drivers’ commute along Route 25

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Melba, a cow statue made of an oil tank and a milk can, had been hanging out in Mike and Kelly McCormick’s backyard in Batavia for about two months.

People kept stopping to admire the cow and its latest outfits.

Also known as the Route 25 Cow, Melba started getting so much attention that the McCormicks decided it needed a spot in their front yard at 818 Washington Ave. in Batavia, which is where it has stood for almost a year.

“We wheeled it out front, and we were watching to see if people would notice,” Kelly McCormick said. “They would honk and wave at it.

It was just fun.”

Melba’s lifelike size and seasonal fashions might be the reasons it has gotten so much attention.

The McCormicks don’t let a holiday pass without giving Melba a makeover. For Christmas, Melba donned strands of red and white lights.

Around St. Patrick’s Day, it was transformed into a green “lepre-cow,” complete with a rainbow and pot of gold (made of gold-colored milk jugs).

Around Easter, it became “Peter Cow-ton Tail” and sported a pair of giant rabbit ears. She even threw on a Cubs hat to celebrate opening day of the MLB season.

Melba has cheered on the Bulls, and most recently, the Blackhawks.

“The cow’s part of the house now,” Mike McCormick said. “It’s kind of funny because it’s kind of brought the community together.”

The McCormicks, who have lived in their Batavia home since 2000, said they now know neighbors they never met before.

Kelly McCormick said Melba is just a “feel-good” sight along Route 25 that has brightened many commutes through Batavia.

Melba was named for the

Mike McCormick stands in front of his house in Batavia next to Melba the Route 25 Cow. McCormick and his wife, Kelly, have worked on the cow for a year and a half, decorating it for major holidays such as Christmas and Memorial Day.

McCormicks’ neighbor, Melba Johnson, who lived with her husband, Guy, in Batavia for 32 years.

As they were getting ready to move to Arkansas, the Johnsons decided to get rid of an oil tank they’d had in their basement, and Kelly McCormick offered to take it off their hands.

Mike McCormick said it took a while for him to warm up to the idea. But once the cow had come together, it became a creative outlet for him.

“It’s a riot,” Melba Johnson said. “It’s pretty great with all the people enjoying it.”

And it appears people have been enjoying Melba’s presence along Route 25.

Drivers often stop to take photos, and children like to pet the cow. Others have donated costumes for it to wear.

Melba has received fan mail from anonymous admirers, as well.

One letter writer wrote, “Thank you for brightening

up the drive along Route 25.”

“We started getting letters and cards from people saying how much they love it and that it makes their day,” Kelly McCormick said.

Melba also has been part of a group’s scavenger hunt, and a local day care center recently approached the McCormicks about taking a

field trip to visit the cow.

Melba has its own Facebook page, which has more than 500 “likes,” a testament to its growing popularity.

Mike McCormick thinks part of Melba’s appeal is that people don’t expect to see a large cow statue in the western suburbs.

“I think it’s the fun factor,” Kelly McCormick said.

CYNTHIA SUE (JANKOWSKI) FOSSE Born: May 18, 1957; in LaGrange Died: June 16, 2013; in Naperville NAPERVILLE – Cynthia Sue (Jankowski) Fosse, of Naperville, passed away unexpectedly at her home Sunday, June 16, 2013. She was 56 years old.

Cindy was born to Walter and Lydia Jankowski on May 18, 1957, in LaGrange. She graduated from Downers Grove South High School in 1975. She earned a BA in education from Western Illinois University and a master’s in education from National Louis University.

She was an elementary school teacher for more than 30 years, including 26 years at Scott Ele-

mentary School in Naperville until her retirement in 2012.

On Aug. 16, 1995, Cindy married Kim A. Fosse in Las Vegas.

She is survived by her husband, Kim; sisters, Debbie (John) Bold of Wheaton and Patti Jans of Apache Junction, Ariz.; brotherin-law, Kevin (Katie) Fosse of Boulder, Colo.; sister-in-law, Lisa Fosse of St. Charles; nephews, Andy (Marie) Bold and Matt Bold of Chicago; and nieces, Kendall and Kourtney Fosse of Boulder, Colo. She also is survived by her longtime friend and fellow teacher Sandi Hannes of Oswego.

Cindy was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Lydia Jankowski; and her father- and mother-in-law, George and Marilyn Fosse.

Cindy was a many-faceted person who put endless energy and love into every aspect of her life. First and foremost was her family. She dearly loved her husband and both of their extended families. Time spent with them on birthdays and holidays meant the world to her as did the strong traditions and heritages of both families.

Also special to Cindy were the pets in her life: dogs, Toby, Buttercup and Jelly Bean; and cats Twinkie, Figaro, Geppetto and Johnny Cat. Cindy filled a room with her personality and love for life. Her enthusiasm was contagious and her passion for living was felt by everyone around her. Just being with her made you feel good.

Cindy was a natural teacher, and she cared deeply about each of her students. Her passion spilled

on to her students and fellow teachers. Many of her former students kept in touch with her, often filling her classroom on open house nights.

Cindy was kind and compassionate to all animals. She loved to have lizards, fish and turtles in her classroom, and she used the little creatures to teach her students about the natural world and the wonder of life.

Cindy loved reading and traveling with her husband, Kim, often on history-related trips and always with a pug in tow. She was an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs and also enjoyed opera, old movies and Saturday farmers markets.

Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Friday, June 21, at Yurs Funeral Home St. Charles, 405 E. Main St. (Route 64, North Avenue), St. Charles. Burial will be private. The visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m.

Thursday, June 20, at Yurs Funeral Home, St. Charles.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Anderson Animal Shelter, 1000 LaFox Road, South Elgin, IL 60177.

Born: Nov. 7, 1923; in Aurora Died: June 15, 2013; in Batavia

Norma Jean was an outstanding educator who shared her gift and knowledge of music with students in Batavia Junior High School and every elementary school of Batavia for more than 30 years.

She received her undergraduate degree from Millikin University in 1950, where she was a member of the honor society of Phi Kappa Phi, and a master of music degree from Northern Illinois University in 1964. She also was a member of Sigma Alpha Iota during her years at Carmi (Ill.) Township High School. Norma is a past president of the Batavia Education Association, a member of The Delta Kappa Gamma Society, a life member of the National Education Association, and is noted in the 1978-79 edition of Outstanding Educators in America.

For many years, Norma Jean refined her skills as a watercolor artist and proudly shared her knowledge with developing artists in her home studio. Many of her paintings are currently displayed throughout the Fox Valley. Her art represents the things she loved and enjoyed as demonstrated in her dedication to the Chicago Bears and her devotion to the standard poodles and Afghan hounds she and Marvin welcomed into their family. She proudly presented Bears coach Mike Ditka with a stunning portrait of The Coach, and her love of pets was reflected in much of her artwork because she was frequently commissioned by area patrons to create watercolor portraits of their animal friends.

Norma Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin. She leaves behind her Afghan hound,

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia fire officials are reminding residents about the dangers of fireworks after a man was injured last weekend in a fireworks-related accident.

The Batavia Fire Department on Saturday night responded to a report of a Batavia resident who was burned after using professional-grade

fireworks.

“He had nonlife-threatening injuries,” Batavia Deputy Fire Chief Randy Banker said.

Banker said fireworks not only are dangerous, but they also are illegal in Batavia.

That includes sparklers, he said.

“The temperature of a sparkler can reach 2,000 degrees,” Banker said. “It is very dangerous.”

He advised residents to

leave the fireworks to the professionals.

Batavia’s fireworks show will be at 9:30 p.m. on the Fourth of July and can viewed from Engstrom Park at Millview Drive and West Main Street.

There is additional space on the Batavia High School athletic fields on West Main Street.

SUGAR GROVE

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Village officials have filled in several more sinkholes that have opened up in the ground along streets in a neighborhood on Sugar Grove’s northeast side.

The work comes as the latest village action against a problem that has plagued the neighborhood for the past few years.

Sugar Grove Public Works Director Tony Speciale said village workers filled in four holes that opened in the area around St. James Parkway in the Windsor Pointe subdivision, northeast of the intersection of East Galena Boulevard and Route 47.

Speciale said the sinkholes that were backfilled were of

varying sizes.

The largest hole, he said, measured about four feet in diameter and about four feet deep.

“All the sinkholes we’re aware of in this round have been filled in,” Speciale said.

He said village officials have returned to the neighborhood several times in the last few years to fill in sinkholes that appear suddenly.

Speciale said the village does not believe the sinkholes are natural, as they tend to occur near storm sewer catch basins and fire hydrants. He blamed faulty backfilling work at the time the sewer lines and hydrants were installed by contractors hired by developers about a dozen years ago.

Windsor Pointe was devel-

oped by Wheaton-based homebuilder Wiseman-Hughes, which has since gone out of business.

Speciale said no one has yet been injured by the sinkholes.

He said public works officials check the area weekly for new holes. But he said they are most often alerted to the presence of new sinkholes by residents of the neighborhoods and police officers on patrol.

Residents of the neighborhood, for instance, raised the issue and notified the village of three of the four new sinkholes during a village board meeting earlier this month.

“Between the police and the residents, they are very good at notifying us,” Speciale said.

ST. CHARLES – A woman pulled over for a traffic violation learned the car she had bought for $1,500 was stolen, according to a St. Charles Police Department report.

Police stopped Maria Hortencia Parra-Duran on June 12 after she reportedly failed to yield while turning left from Swenson Avenue onto Kirk Road.

Parra-Duran, 52, of the 800 block of Spring Avenue, Aurora, was charged with driving without a license, driving without insurance and making an

improper left turn, police reported.

As police prepared to have her beige Ford Windstar stowed, they reportedly discovered the license plate belonged to another car, and the Ford’s vehicle identification number showed the Elgin Police Department had marked it stolen.

Parra-Duran told police she bought the vehicle from a man in Aurora, police reported.

She was not charged with motor vehicle theft “as she was unaware of the status of the vehicle and paid $1,500 to the subject she purchased it from,” according to the report.

Fox Valley in spotlight Russell Crowe, (left) who stars in “Man of Steel,” poses with Batavia Library Director George Scheetz in 2011. “Man of Steel” was partially filmed in Sugar Grove.

BATAVIA – State Rep. Kay Hatcher, R-Yorkville, recognized many locations around the Fox Valley as she watched the new “Man of Steel” movie.

“I watched the movie twice in a row because I loved it so much,” Hatcher said.

The movie, which was released last week, partially was filmed in Sugar Grove and Plano in 2011. In the movie, Plano was transformed into the fictional town of Smallville, where Clark Kent is raised.

“You can recognize some roadways in Sugar Grove, and there’s a farmstead that’s in the Fox Valley,” Hatcher said.

“I could recognize a lot of Plano.”

Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels said he hasn’t seen the movie yet.

But he is looking forward to seeing Sugar Grove on the big screen.

“I heard that part of Settlers Ridge subdivision can be seen in the backdrop of the tornado scene,” Michels said.

Actor Russell Crowe, who plays Superman’s biological father, Jor-El, in the movie, made an unexpected stop at the Batavia Library’s cafe during the filming of the movie. Batavia Library Director George Scheetz, who grew up reading DC Comics, including “Superman,” got to chat with Crowe.

“I welcomed him to Bata-

via, and made some remarks about growing up with DC Comics and being a Superman fan,” Scheetz said.

He thoroughly enjoyed “Man of Steel.”

“I liked what they did,”

Scheetz said. “Some things were very much different from the comics, but it stayed true to the spirit of the comics. The movie paid homage to Christopher Reeve’s ‘Superman’ as well.”

By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com As funny stories came out of Lindsay Zucco’s and her friends’ attempts to balance motherhood, careers and training for triathlons, she said, people would tell the group they should write a book.

So they did.

“I’m really glad we did, because it was a fun project,” said Zucco, an Elburn resident. “It will make you laugh. I am really happy with how it turned out.”

Published this year after about two years of work, “Tri-Mom: Swimming, Biking and Running through Motherhood,” contains tips, lessons and strategies for balancing family, sport and fitness.

Zucco, 45, said she wrote four stories for the 232-page book.

The campaign for kindness Community task force works to put an end to bullying ELBURN – Chris Halsey, born and raised in Elburn, said he was bullied as a kid growing up, and his son also was bullied.

Halsey was one of 11 people at a meeting of the Knights Against Bullying at the Town and Country Public Library on Tuesday in Elburn to discuss a Kindness Campaign as part of their anti-bullying work in Kaneland School District 302.

“I realize things have changed now, but there is one thing that everybody has failed to change – and that’s the bully,” Halsey said. “The bully still separates his victim from the pack and attacks. And if you think you’re going to be able to talk the bully out of it, it’s impossible.”

A member of the Elburn Lions Club and a community volunteer, Halsey said he and his son handled the bullying “the old-fashioned way.”

“I was punched probably 20 times; I hit this guy once, it was over,” Halsey said. “My son was punched probably 30 times. He swung at this guy, the guy ducked. It was over. So [who] gets the worst of it? The victim, always. But if you don’t confront the bully with something besides being a squealer … you’re not going to get anywhere.”

Toward that end, Halsey said, the Lions will have a twoday Safety Camp for children ages 7 to 10 in August at Lions Park, and he is in charge of the bullying part.

“I’m going to work with teamwork,” Halsey said. “If a [kid] sees his friend being bullied, they need to create as much commotion as possible, not physical, but stop the bullying and get the teachers over there to do something.”

In addition to Knights Against Bullying members, representatives of other groups came to the meeting to talk about how they could partner and expand the anti-bullying efforts.

“What we realized was, it was more about being kind.”

Leigh Ann Reusche Member, Knights Against Bullying Leigh Ann Reusche, a member of Knights Against Bullying, said the Kindness Campaign 2013 is not just meant to work against bullying, but to welcome students to participate in acts of kindness.

“Our intent was to bring together the organizations and people that work in our com-

munity and really talk about the good works our youth are doing,” Reusche said. “And focus on kindness and the positive things that are happening around Kaneland.”

Reusche said she and another parent – and Knights Against Bullying member Leanne Gramely – spent a lot of time in the community talking to people since forming a task force last year.

“What we realized was, it was more about being kind,” Reusche said. “What would be the best message to get out there is one of kindness and one of acceptance of individual

Others at the meeting were Ingrid Ramos – mother of three Kaneland students and a member of Changing Children’s World Foundation, a Geneva-based nonprofit organization that focuses on empathy-based violence prevention – along with the organization’s

executive director, Kimberly Svevo-Cianci, who is the former executive director of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect.

Also participating were Kaneland High School Assistant Principal Diane McFarlin, Harter Middle School Assistant Principal Britt Mattern and Shannan Harley of the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois Council.

Also there were Aimee Fox of Sugar Grove, who was looking to involve Cub Scouts; Brenda Johnson, who encouraged Rachel’s Challenge as a program to promote kindness; Cindy Krause, looking to involve Boy Scouts; and Renee Dee, a parent and the service unit manager for Kaneland Girl Scouts area. Dee and Johnson also are members of Knights Against Bullying.

Rachel’s Challenge stems from the murder of Rachel Joy Scott at the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. Johnson explained that Rachel’s parents found their daughter’s journals, inspired by Anne Frank, and put together a program based on who their daughter was.

“They found a paper she wrote, kind of her philosophy on life,” Johnson said. “ ‘One simple act of kindness will start a chain reaction.’ ” Johnson said there would be two kids’ presentations and an

WAUBONSEE VOICES KC Vogt variety of circumstances. I was once one of those students.

Each month in this column, the Kane County Chronicle features a member of the Waubonsee community who highlights the work of the college and how it is affecting our community. As a student, I feel that it is only fair to give you the most honest depiction of what a community college offers and how it has affected me.

Graduating from Marmion Academy in 2011 was as much an honor as it was a struggle.

With a 100 percent graduation rate, college made for a

difficult transition. As all my friends moved off to four-year institutions, I was one of the few who would be sitting at home with RA Mom, floormate Shannon (my sister) and the occasional visit to Dean Dad’s office while attending a community college. Shamefully, I had subscribed to many false and outdated stereotypes, and attending community college did not fit my perception of the college experience.

Community college was not part of my agenda until I realized that if I wished to pursue higher education that Waubonsee was my best option. However, in retrospect, it has been the single greatest decision I have ever made, and if given the opportunity again, I would choose Waubonsee every single time.

North Aurora officials exploring whether to go green for power

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com NORTH AURORA – Village officials are exploring whether to go green for its power.

Officials are investigating whether to buy its power from an electric supplier that uses only green sources such as wind power or solar energy.

In 2011, voters in North Aurora and other communities passed referendums giving governments the authority to negotiate electric provider agreements on their behalf.

Residents also can choose their own provider.

North Aurora village Trust-

ee Chris Faber is pushing the idea. He chose an electric supplier a few years ago that uses only wind power.

“I like the idea of the village leading the way,” Faber said.

“This could open the door to different grant opportunities.”

Other village officials, including North Aurora Village President Dale Berman, said it was an idea worth exploring.

“I’ve received several emails about this from residents who want the village to do something in the way of being green,” Berman said. “Everybody would have the opportunity to do what they want.”

Officials want to find out

whether going green would cost more than what ComEd currently charges.

The village of North Aurora recently decided to terminate its agreement with Integrys Energy Services Inc. for electric supply to residents and small commercial businesses and revert to the default ComEd rates.

The village decided to make the change after the ComEd rate decreased to 5.511 cents per kilowatt hour this month and the Integrys rate provided to residents of North Aurora increased from 5.75 cents per kilowatt hour to 5.952 cents per kilowatt hour this month.

Many parents take interest in anti-bullying campaign • KINDNESS Continued from page 14 adult presentation in October of Rachel’s Challenge.

Several parents noted that their children had been bullied, which heightened their interest in prevention.

McFarlin said she is the

parent of a sophomore, and she helped start the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance. “[The alliance] is doing a lot of work with getting into the culture and climate of all of our students,” McFarlin said.

“And we do a lot of programming for acceptance and recognition and celebration of all students. I also work closely

with PODA, which is Prevention of Dangerous Activities, at the high school. We are taking on the Yellow Ribbon Week, a full week of bullying prevention activities … in February.”

Harley said the Girl Scouts have programs that address the way girls bully, especially middle school girls.

Waubonsee provides so much more than the conventional “affordability” and “location” that is almost habitual in community college marketing strategies. This college has provided thousands of students with quality education complemented by opportunities that establish applicable experience. Personally, I not only earned the credits that I needed for my baccalaureate degree, but I also gained a second family who encouraged me to take every opportunity to become the best student, professional and person that I could be.

If you are a student or parent preparing for college, take

the time to look into Waubonsee. At one time I didn’t, but I’m so glad that I did because my once bleak future is now as vibrant as my dreams.

• KC Vogt recently completed a one-year term as student trustee at Waubonsee Community College. He received an associate degree at the college’s May 23 commencement ceremony, along with 1,127 other graduates as part of the college’s largest graduating class, and will transfer to complete a bachelor’s degree. The “Waubonsee Voices” column runs the third Wednesday of each month in the Kane County Chronicle.

For many teenagers, college after high school is as routine as checking Facebook.

This idea of who a college student is and what they experience has become so generalized in our society that, unless you are in the educational environment, your definition of a college student’s life may already be set.

For many, that definition is limited to a list of words such as “four years,” “dorms,” “bachelor’s degree,” “parties” and so on. The orthodoxy behind these assumptions has even gone as far as labeling college students as being either a “traditional” or a “nontraditional” student. However, for many other students, this perception of the “four-year university” is a distant dream that may be unattainable for a

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Bernanke needs to send the economy a message BLOOMBERG NEWS The recent gyrations of global markets illustrate the challenge Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will face this week – how to communicate what the central bank plans to do with the trillions of dollars in securities it has bought in its efforts to revive the U.S. economy.

Today, at the end of a twoday policy meeting, Bernanke will address a world preoccupied with the Fed’s reaction function. For much of the past year, investors thought they had an understanding. The central bank would maintain stimulus “for a considerable time after the economy strengthens,” as Bernanke put it in October.

Now, as Fed officials publicly discuss how they might adjust their bond-buying program according to the economy’s performance, investors are having doubts about Bernanke’s pledge.

Those doubts are having a big impact. Investors’ changing expectations for the future path of interest rates have helped push the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note as high as 2.23 percent, up from a low of 1.63 percent in early May. The rising return on U.S. dollar investments has, in turn, made other countries look relatively less attractive, contributing to sharp drops in the currencies and stocks of emerging-market nations such as Brazil, India, Indonesia and Thailand.

Let’s be clear – the Fed’s job is not to keep markets going up or to protect investors from their own mistakes. Rising interest rates can be a positive sign that the economy is gaining momentum. It’s crucial that the Fed get its short-term interest-rate target back up from zero at some point. Otherwise, the central bank won’t have much

power to fight the next recession by lowering rates again.

Right now, though, the outlook for the U.S. economy is far from stellar. The housing market is showing signs of life, but job growth is still mediocre and inflation is below the Fed’s target. The federal budget sequestration is creating drag by forcing immediate cuts in government spending at a time when more stimulus would be in order. Higher interest rates will only aggravate the situation by making it more expensive for people to buy houses and for companies to expand.

The Fed’s attempts at nuanced communication haven’t helped. Officials have tried to treat their policy on bond purchases, known as quantitative easing, as separate from their policy on where to set the shortterm interest-rate target. The distinction is lost on markets.

Both are tools for managing the level of stimulus and are influenced by the same considerations. When the Fed promises to keep interest rates at zero for an extended period, then says bond purchases will depend on the economic outlook from month to month, it succeeds only in sowing confusion.

Bernanke needs to dispel the confusion this week. To that end, he should reinforce and expand the message he sent in October – the Fed is committed to maintaining stimulus until after the economy recovers, and this applies to all its operations.

Such an unconditional statement, known as policy guidance, is the most effective way to give businesses the certainty they need to boost investment and hiring. As such, it’s the most direct route to a world in which the Fed would have good reason to start raising rates again.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Is your car ready for summer vacation?

To the Editor: If you are planning a road trip this summer, it’s important to remember that you shouldn’t just put gas in your car and go. A pre-trip vehicle check is the best way to avoid the inconvenience and potential safety hazards of breaking down miles away from home.

By conducting a thorough vehicle inspection, you can determine how road-ready your vehicle is so you can have any problems fixed before hitting the road.

and corrosion-free.

• Check filters and fluids, including engine oil, antifreeze/coolant, windshield washer and power steering, brake and transmission fluids. Dirty air filters can waste gas and cause the engine to lose power.

• Check the hoses and belts, and replace if they become cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or show signs of excessive wear. These are critical to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air conditioning, power steering and the cooling system.

• Check the tires, including tire pressure and tread.

Under-inflated tires reduce

a vehicle’s fuel economy and uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment.

Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.

• Schedule a tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy.

Following a routine maintenance program, like the Car Care Council’s free personalized schedule and email reminder service, can help you drive smart, save money and make informed decisions this summer and throughout the year. Learn more at www.carcare.org.

‘The Wifflot’ attracts fans, advertisers

kdruley@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Backyard competition meets Wall Street aspiration at The Wifflot, a Wiffle ball field near Batavia where a CEO and CFO collaborate before and after each day’s final out.

In a mere four summers, recent Batavia graduate Ryan Pawlowski and Batavia senior Andrew Martinez have transformed a patch of land on the Pawlowski family property into a wellcoiffed destination at 2S833 Hart Road.

“Every single day, there’s people honking, stopping by to take pictures,” Pawlowski said. “Pretty much everything you could think of, because they’re trying to get a piece of the action, I think.”

That last part suggests money, which certainly is on the lips and minds of these entrepreneurs. While there still are elements of pickup sports fantasy, The Wifflot’s brain trust wants more than to simply get the guys together. How about a brand?

A look at the particulars of league play at The Wifflot: n Two teams of four players each n Seven-inning games, with two outs an inning n 75 feet to the foul lines, 100 feet to center field n 45 feet between bases

Thirteen of the 15 panels of The Wifflot’s green mesh outfield fence feature messages from local advertisers, who enjoyed free rates this season but likely will face an increase in 2014. Rosati’s Pizza in Batavia boasts displays beyond the left field fence and behind home plate.

The field also is available for rent on weekends, and the operation is online at www. thewifflot.com.

Entering this week, Martinez said, The Wifflot already had attracted 503 fans to its 10-team league of nearby middle- and

high-schoolers this month.

That’s up from 237 through all of June 2012.

Fans pay $1 a game, $5 a four-game session or $25 for a season ticket, while players are subject to a $20 entrance fee for each 30-game regular season and playoffs. In turn, Pawlowski and Martinez took about $1,500 of revenue and put it into creating what Martinez called “a Major-League feel.”

That includes outfield decks, signage, a pair of hand-operated scoreboards and foul poles measuring 35-feet high.

“We took that concept and we put it into Wiffle ball, and I feel like a lot of people are enjoying that idea, because you really don’t see that on an everyday basis,” Martinez said. “That’s one of the amazing things that Ryan and I have created. It took us at least two years to get where we want to be. We’re not 100 percent there, but we are getting better.”

Pawlowski’s mother, Debbie, can attest. She keeps her distance, but still has advised the boys about the merits of buying Wiffle balls in bulk, carrying small bills to make concession change and being mindful of policing foul language in a busy subdivision setting.

to Iowa’s previous coaching staff but, in late May, Hawkeyes head coach Jack Dahm was dismissed.

Tenuta plans to reboot his outreach when a new coaching staff is in place.

Tenuta was somewhat overshadowed on a deep Batavia pitching staff by fellow seniors Luke Horton and Austin Shanahan, but Tenuta made strong contributions in a 27-7 season for the Bulldogs that included an Upstate Eight Conference River co-championship.

Tenuta went 5-1 with a 2.33 ERA, striking out 40 batters in 42 innings of work.

That level of success was hard to foresee after the late-blooming Tenuta’s junior year.

“As a junior, I didn’t even see any varsity innings whatsoever, and all the sudden I had a good summer season, and guys on the team were telling me ‘You’re college material,’ ” Tenuta said. “Luke Horton told me he could see me going D-I. That was kind of a lot to process, but I was like

‘Might as well pursue it and see what happens.’ ” Horton and former Batavia shortstop Billy Zwick are among Tenuta’s summer teammates with the Phantoms, who also feature recent Kaneland graduate John Hopkins in their pitching mix. Tenuta anticipates making some starts and relieving for the Phantoms, and figures his participation will keep him sharp for a potential walk-on tryout in the fall.

If things don’t pan out from a baseball standpoint in Iowa City, Tenuta is prepared to move on, but he’d love to be part of a happier baseball ending than what unfolded last month.

“I’m going to work as hard as I can in order to get on the team,” Tenuta said. “Absolutely.”

and Fairfield have extended offers to Santos, and numerous other D-I programs – including many from high-profile conferences – are keeping close tabs on the sharpshooting, 6-foot-5 wing. Santos made only a varsity cameo late last season for the Vikings after playing most of the season with the sophomores.

The Vikings seemingly have a pair of future Division I players in the class of 2015.

Like Santos, Geneva forward Nate Navigato has been offered a scholarship by UIC, and anticipates additional

offers in the months to come.

If Santos goes the Division I route, he’ll likely become the third sibling in his family to play high-level college basketball. Ashley Santos is a guard in the Marquette women’s basketball program while Sidney Santos, who will be a senior for the Geneva girls basketball team this winter, is being recruited by numerous D-I programs, including St. Bonaventure, TCU, Virginia Tech and Wichita State.

Depending on how his college years unfold, there might end up being a silver lining for Batavia pitcher Emilio Tenuta to the Bulldogs baseball team’s upset loss in regionals.

Tenuta was waffling on whether to pursue college baseball but said the Bulldogs’ jarring, 5-4 loss to Hoffman Estates in an IHSA Class 4A Bartlett Regional semifinal supplied motivation to stay at it.

Tenuta, now playing summer ball with the Kane County Phantoms, is hoping to walk-on at Iowa in the fall.

“My mindset behind it was if we go pretty far [in the postseason] and do well, that’s one way to end my baseball career, but clearly it didn’t end the way we wanted it to,” Tenuta said. “So I was like, I don’t want to stop playing baseball.

That kind of drove me to want to walk on at Iowa.”

MIDWEST LEAGUE ALL-STAR GAME NOTEBOOK

| SPORTS

Vogelbach finds All-Star nod a ‘privilege’

By BRIAN LESTER editorial@kcchronicle.com DAYTON, Ohio – Dan Vogelbach emerged from the clubhouse at Fifth Third Field on Tuesday and embraced the opportunity to talk about his experience as a Midwest League All-Star the same way he has embraced his role as a home-run hitter.

Vogelbach was the West’s starting designated hitter and one of six Kane County Cougars who played in the game. The Dan Vogelbach East won 6-5 in front of a crowd of 8,746.

“It’s a privilege to be here, especially with as much talent as there is in this league,” said Vogelbach, who entered the break tied for fourth in the MWL in home runs (11). “I know there are other players who deserve this opportunity.

I’m thankful for the chance.”

Vogelbach is batting .265 for Kane County, which ended the first half at 30-36.

He came into the MWL AllStar Game with no expectations, other than to enjoy it.

He delivered a big hit in the top of the second inning, driving a double deep to the outfield and knocking in a run for a 1-0 West lead.

In the fourth, Vogelbach sent a shot up the middle, the ball bouncing in the dirt and into the grass in center. He drew a walk in the sixth.

“I just want to have a good time and have fun with the whole experience,” Vogelbach said before the game.

“I’m relaxed and ready to take it all in.”

Through 66 games, Vogelbach has knocked in 45 runs and struck out 49 times. Of his 68 hits, 24 were for extra bases. But he isn’t satisfied.

“There is always room for improvement,” Vogelbach said. “I’m continuing to work on my footwork and get better with my approach at the plate. You always want to do as much as you can to be the best you can be.”

High expectations have been placed on Vogelbach’s shoulders. He is rated as the

No. 7 prospect in the Chicago Cubs organization by Baseball America.

“I don’t think too much about the expectations,” Vogelbach said. “My goal is to play Major League Baseball, and I know if I continue to play well, everything will take care of itself.”

Rock solid: Rock Shoulders was named the Cubs’ Minor League player of the month in April. On Tuesday, he played in the MWL All-Star Game.

Shoulders Rock Shoulders is tied for the league-lead in home runs (13) and batting .264.

The rising star nearly had a home run in the eighth, the crowd on its feet as the ball sailed toward the wall, but it was caught with the West trailing 5-2. He had a chance to break a 5-5 tie in the ninth with two runners on but struck out swinging as the inning ended.

“It’s nice to get accolades.

It shows that you are play-

ing well,” Shoulders said. “I know if I keep playing hard, I’ll have a chance to get to the top.”

The Kane County first baseman was originally drafted by Boston in 2010 but did not sign, opting to play junior college baseball in Florida.

The Cubs took him in the 25th round in 2011.

Getting a shot to play in Dayton in mid-June is a reward for his hard work.

“It’s a lot of fun being around some of the best players,” Shoulders said. “You never go into a season expecting to be an all star, but it’s great to be recognized. It’s all about having fun.”

High hopes: Kane County hardly had the first half it had hoped for, but the Cougars are hoping to turn their fortunes around once Nathan Dorris the second half begins.

Cougars pitcher Nathan Dorris, a native of Illinois who grew up a Cubs fan and is thrilled about representing

the organization, said he is hopeful the Cougars will step it up after the break.

“It’s a great opportunity to play in this game and I’m enjoying every minute of it,” Dorris said. “But as a team, we need to win more games.

We need to play at a higher level.”

Vogelbach agreed.

“We’re not pleased with how many games we won in the first half,” Vogelbach said. “It’s time for us to get going and start winning.”

Notables: Tayler Scott, who hails from South Africa, came in with one out in the seventh and recorded the final two outs, getting one batter to fly out and another to Tayler Scott strike out. ...

Dorris entered in the eighth and recorded the final out by getting the batter to ground out. ... Bijan Rademacher drew a wild pitch in the ninth that tied the game at 5-5.

He grounded out moments later.

Continued from page 18 Although she’s another business-minded family member – beginning in mid-July, she sells sweet corn, onions, cucumbers and other produce out of the family’s pole barn – Debbie Pawlowski more often plays the role of proud mother.

Ultimately, her son and his friends built a community rallying point on a four-acre lot without much parental guidance.

“They originally started it out just the few of them hanging out and then decided, ‘Hey, you know, there’s more people interested. Why not turn it into a league?’ ” Debbie Pawlowski said. “Now they’re wanting to create into a business. I mean, they love it. I just wish I could get them more motivated to do other things.”

A handful of regulars juggle summer jobs with games, which usually are held from 1:15 to 6 p.m. weekdays. Batavia senior Mitch Kavalec is one, but The Wifflot’s visibility makes him a celebrity at work, too.

To Pawlowski and Martinez, Kavalec deserves the publicity. He’s the one, after all, who hatched the idea of a Wiffle ball haven somewhere in the boys’ hometown a few years ago. A carefree place reminiscent

ST. CHARLES – With strong competition for players’ time during the summer, it can be a challenge for American Legion baseball coaches to fill out a lineup card.

New Lenox Post 1977 brought just nine players to its game against St. Charles Post 342 Tuesday night at St. Charles East. Only one was a starting pitcher, but he was unavailable to throw.

After jumping out to an 11-1 lead after three innings, it appeared New Lenox, with its hodgepodge line up, would beat St. Charles. However, Post 342 battled back and tied the game at 11-all in the sixth inning. The teams had to settle for a tie as the umpires called the game after that inning because of darkness.

Both teams also tallied 12 hits and four errors.

“We got a lot of kids playing out of position and haven’t swung the bat a lot in high school, so I’m really happy with what they did,” St. Charles coach Dale Wilderspin said. “If we had made fewer mistakes earlier in the game, we probably could have won the game.”

New Lenox tagged St. Charles (7-2-1) starting pitcher Joe Barsanti for three runs in the first inning and two in the second.

It looked like New Lenox (52-1) had the game put away in the third when it sent 10 batters to the plate and scored six runs on four hits and two errors.

The first three batters Barsanti faced in the third reached base on a single, an error and a walk. Patrick O’Brien then replaced Barsanti on the hill with no outs. He hit Zach Hoeg, the first New Lenox batter he faced, to force in the first run.

New Lenox batters reached the St. Charles North product for three singles and a sacrifice fly to push across five runs.

Devin Williams, who started the rally for New Lenox, also ended it with a flyout.

Williams, who usually plays shortstop, started the game for New Lenox and held St. Charles to one run on one hit during the first two innings.

Greg Wymer replaced Williams on the bump in the third and St. Charles responded by sending 11 batters to the plate and scored six runs to make it an 11-7 game.

“Not one kid here was a pitcher. My entire pitching staff was unaviable tonight with the exception of my catcher,” New Lenox coach Chris Hogan said “But no one else on the team could catch. So we had some problems with strikes and the strike zone.”

Wilderspin kept O’Brien on the hill in the fourth. He responded to the coach’s vote of confidence by facing only three batters in the frame.

St. Charles continued to chip away at New Lenox’s lead by scoring two in the fourth and one in the fifth.

Collin Peterson scored the tying run in the sixth when New Lenox’s second baseman could not handle Nick Huskisson’s grounder. Huskisson, who represented the winning run, was left at first base when Colin DuCray, New Lenox’s fourth pitcher of the game, induced Ryan Thomas to fly out to end the inning.

Ankur Shah, who started St. Charles’ third inning rally with a bases-loaded double that scored two runs, pitched the final two innings.

“We got down 11-1 and we battled. That’s all you can ask for,” Shah said.

Hawks quick hits WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “We’ve got to find a way to win here [Wednesday] night. I think we were in a tough spot in the Detroit series. We found a way to get ourselves back into it. That’s what we’re looking for. … If we come out with a good result, we’re right where we want to be.”

– Hawks coach Joel Quenneville on the importance of Game 4 “We need our power play to be better.

We’ve got to try to generate more, whether we’re scoring goals or just creating momentum. This series we haven’t really created momentum off the power play, which has helped us in other series even if we weren’t scoring.”

– Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook on the struggling power play “We look to him in a lot of different situations. I wouldn’t put it all on his shoulders. We have a number of strong leaders in this room. Guys who have been in that situation before. Guys who have played on a lot of different teams.”

– Hawks forward Patrick Sharp on Jonathan Toews’ role in a 2-1 series deficit “It’s a small, big city. You get to know a lot of people around here when you stick around. There’s a few of us that live here year-round now. There are good people here. Once you get to know people, they’ll do anything for you. So that helps. Sam Adams, too. Harpoon. Good beers.”

– Bruins forward Shawn Thornton on why he likes playing in Boston

STAR GAZING Here’s a look at the top contenders to earn the No. 1 star of Game 4.

Blackhawks: Andrew Shaw Shaw seemed to be at the center of

everything in Game 3 as he drew two penalties, fired two shots on goal and engaged in a scrap with Bruins forward Brad Marchand in the final minute of the third period. Instigating opponents seems to drive Shaw, who could lift the Hawks with his hard work in front of the net.

Bruins: Daniel Paille We’ve heard of doubling down on bets, so why not triple down? Paille was the hero of Game 2 with an overtime goal, and he ripped a shot past Hawks goaltender Corey Crawford in the second period of Game 3 to break a scoreless tie and allow the Bruins to settle into their trademark, defensive style of play.

– Tom Musick

TWEET, TWEET If you’re on Twitter, here is a good account to follow during the game. @FriedgeHNIC Canadian sportswriter Elliotte Friedman was the first to report Hossa’s injury.

THREE STATS TO KNOW 4: Out of 25 teams have won the Stanley Cup after splitting the first two games of the series and losing Game 3. The Hawks will try to join the 1964 Maple Leafs (seven games against Detroit), the 1989 Flames (six games against Montreal), the 1991 Penguins (six games against Minnesota) and the 2004 Lightning (seven games against Calgary).

58: Wins by home teams during the 2013 playoffs, which is an NHL record.

The previous record (57) was set in 1991 when the Penguins won the Cup. This season, home teams are 58-25 for a winning percentage of .699.

20: Consecutive power plays without a goal for the Hawks, whose success rate during the postseason has plummeted to 11.3 percent (7 for 62).

Meanwhile, the Bruins have killed off 27 consecutive penalties dating to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

STANLEY CUP FINAL: BLACKHAWKS VS. BRUINS

Blackhawks’ key to Game 4?

It’s a secret

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com BOSTON – Pssst. Hey, you.

Yeah, you.

Want to know a secret?

OK, here it is. Hockey is filled with secrets.

Shhh. You didn’t hear it from me.

Before we go any further, let’s get two non secrets out of the way.

One: The Blackhawks will try to bounce back from back-to-back losses against the Boston Bruins today in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. Two: A Hawks win would even the series at 2-2, while a loss would create a dreaded 3-1 series deficit.

Everything in that previous paragraph is public information.

Now, here comes the juicy stuff.

Marian Hossa was missing Tuesday. At least,

Batavia United Way

it seemed as though he was missing. One day after he was a late, mysterious scratch from Game 3, the future Hall of Fame forward was nowhere to be seen in the Hawks’ locker room or in the surrounding tunnels, hallways and cubbie holes in the basement of TD Garden.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville tried to quell the concern when asked about Hossa’s mysterious “upper-body injury” and whether the forward would play in Game 4.

“I’m not going to go exactly [into] where the injury is or occurred,” Quenneville said. “But I’m going to say he’s likely to play [Wednesday] tonight.”

I’m going to say it’s likely the Hawks could be toying with us.

Maybe Hossa will play in Game 4, and maybe he won’t.

For the 14-year veteran to miss a game in the Stanley

Cup Final means that his injury is serious. It’s possible that a three-day break will be enough to help him return to health (or semihealth).

But I would take anything the Hawks say regarding Hossa’s status with a chip of ice.

After all, the Hawks harbored their Hossa secret until a few minutes before the opening faceoff of Game 3. Hossa’s coaches and teammates knew that he was injured and might not play, but the Hawks had him take part in the pregame skate while keeping possible replacement Ben Smith away from the ice.

If the Hawks knew that Smith might play, why not allow him to warm up? Was preserving a secret really more important than preparing a possible sub?

Hawks seek answers to improve faceoff woes

By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com BOSTON – The Blackhawks need to be better at a lot of things heading into Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final.

If the power play is the Hawks’ No. 1 problem, then having better faceoffs is No. 1A. “We know that we have to be better,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said Tuesday.

It’s tough to imagine the Hawks being worse.

In Game 3 on Monday, the Hawks lost 71 percent of their faceoffs en route to a 2-0 loss to the Boston Bruins. Several of those faceoff losses came during the power play, which led to 15 to 20 seconds running off of the clock every time the Bruins cleared the puck.

Hawks center Michal Handzus was the worst offender, losing all 10 of his faceoff attempts. Dave Bolland won one faceoff and lost seven, while Marcus Kruger won

two and lost five.

On the opposite side, Bruins center Patrice Bergeron won 24 faceoffs while losing only four.

“Bergeron had one of those nights that you’d like to have in a career,” Quenneville said.

The Hawks’ next task is to prevent Bergeron from having two of those nights. “[We could] crowd the circle a little bit more, get a little bit in there,” Bolland said.

“They’re a good faceoff team.”

As with Game 3, the Bruins will be able to make final line changes in their home building. That could help Bruins coach Claude Julien find favorable matchups, and it could help Bruins centers scout their counterparts as the last arrivals to the faceoff circle.

“That always does,” Bolland said. “You see what they’re doing, see where their feet are, where their sticks are, where their hands are.

Staying aggressive: The Hawks power play is bad and getting worse, but Hawks forward Patrick Sharp said he did not expect the team to change its style on entering the zone.

Typically, the Hawks carry the puck into the offensive zone to set up a play or a set of plays. Less talented teams rely on a chip-and-chase method in which they dump the puck behind the opposing net and try to win battles along the boards to regain possession.

Could the Hawks rely more on chipping and chasing?

“If need be, yeah,” Sharp said. “But I think that with the creativity and the speed and the playmaking ability that we have, there should be plays available.”

“He would have taken warmups if we wanted him to take warmups,” Quenneville said.

“He knew there was a chance he was going to play. He was getting himself ready. I just didn’t want to tip our hand that there was something going on.”

Like coach, like players. It turns out that nobody on the Hawks is a hand-tipper.

A few feet to the left of Hossa’s locker – all of the gear was in place, but the player was missing – a dozen or so reporters gathered around Hawks center Dave Bolland.

Someone asked Bolland whether he had seen or spoken with Hossa since Game 3.

“Oh,” Bolland said, startled, his arms crossed. “I don’t know.”

You don’t know if you’ve seen him?

“No,” Bolland said. “I don’t know if I’ve seen him.”

This was going nowhere fast.

Maybe Hawks defenseman Johnny Oduya could provide

more insight about Hossa.

Oduya is from Sweden. That seems like an honest place.

How is Hossa? Have you seen him?

“I’m not a doctor,” Oduya said. “I haven’t seen him.”

Uh oh. In denying Hossa’s condition, Oduya admitted that he was not a doctor.

Gasp! What if the Bruins found out that morsel of information?

On my way out of the locker room, I spotted a Hawks player on an exercise bike. His back was turned, and the hood of his gray sweatshirt was pulled above his head.

Perhaps this was a breakthrough.

I took a few extra steps past the bike before turning around.

The face was familiar. It belonged to Jonathan Toews.

Argh! So close!

Maybe Hossa was in the ceiling ducts.

Bird watching: Easy steps to attract birds to your yard

By MELISSA ERICKSON More Content Now If you want birds in your yard – and not your neighbor’s yard – you’ve got to lure them in with an attractive space filled with what they need to survive.

“Bird watching is fun,” said Rhiannon Crain, project leader with the Yardmap Project at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. (Visit yardmap. org for more information about building a bird habitat in your backyard.)

“By providing birds with the right habitat, you can increase your enjoyment by attracting between 20 to 30 species of birds – that amount is doable in an urban or rural setting. More diversity equals more fun,” Crain said.

Additionally, birds are good for your yard and provide an alternative to chemicals for keeping the insect population in check, Crain said.

Like all animals, birds need water, food and structure, which means a safe place to eat, sleep and nest, be protected from the elements and elude predators.

For the water element, “it’s as easy as putting a saucer of water in the yard,” Crain said. Adding a dripping feature or running water is even more attractive to birds.

For a lasting effect that will allow birds to stay over winter months, add a bird feeder to your yard, Crain said. A basic seed mix is a good start, but specialized foods will attract a wider range of species.

Since baby birds don’t eat seeds, Crain suggests

To attract birds to the yard – and not a neighbor’s yard – lure them in with an attractive space filled with what they need to survive. planting native shrubs and trees for birds to forage from. These will also attract caterpillars, which the babies can eat.

Consider letting a corner of your yard go wild by creating a brush pile with clippings, branches and twigs as many birds prefer habitat on the ground.

Evergreens also provide natural cover year-round and attract migrating birds.

“You can do a little or a lot,” Crain said. “It’s not difficult to attract birds to your yard.”

Easy DIY bird feeder Plenty of eco-friendly

bird feeders are available for sale, but how about trying to make your own?

It’s easy using just a milk jug and common household tools: 1. Thoroughly wash an empty 1-gallon plastic milk jug. Replace the cap.

2. Cut two large holes about 4 inches in diameter in the two adjacent sides of the jug opposite the handle.

The holes should be about 2 inches up from the bottom of the jug.

3. Cut a hole below each of the large holes and insert a twig or dowel rod through diagonally as a perch.

4. With a large nail,

punch two holes in the neck of the milk jug, about 1 inch below the cap.

5. Run a 2-foot-long piece of wire through the holes, twisting the wire tightly above the cap with several turns.

6. To camouflage, brush on green acrylic paint and attach leaves to the outside with clear glue. Add twigs to the top to create a roof.

Cover the entire project with clear non-toxic craft glaze so it’s water-resistant.

7. Fill the feeder with birdseed and use the wire ends to hang it from a strong branch or other support.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips my love life since then has been with men.

A couple of months ago, one of my male friends – much younger than I and from my poker group – came to my home to take me to lunch. I had always assumed he was gay. I made a pass and ended up seducing him. He was a great sex partner, but he changed his mind about going to lunch afterward. He has never shown up for poker since and no one has heard from him.

Should I contact my former friend and reassure him? He’s a good man and I worry about him. – Missing A Friend In Miami Dear Missing: The man you seduced may not have been as comfortable with gay sex as you assumed he was. Try to contact him once, but if he wanted to see you again, he

wouldn’t have disappeared.

My advice is to leave it at that because it appears he isn’t interested in another round of poker – or anything else – with you.

Dear Abby: I have discovered that the man I have been seeing for several years has been stealing money from me. What is the best way to confront him?

I know he’s going through a lot right now, but so are a lot of us. Please guide me. I don’t do confrontations well. – Used In Indiana Dear Used: If you have proof of what he has done, a way to approach it would be to discuss with him IN A PUBLIC PLACE that money has disappeared – and you would like his “help” in figuring out where it went.

Depending upon his response, you may have to take specific action by involving your lawyer, your CPA or the police.

Foot ulcers should never be left untreated Dear Doctor K: I have an open sore on the bottom of my foot.

Can I just cover it with a BandAid until it heals, or do I need to see a doctor?

Dear Reader: I am glad you asked this question, because in most circumstances, just covering it with a Band-Aid is a really bad idea.

I’m guessing that this “sore” is more than some redness of the skin. I assume it is a little hole or crater, and that the top skin of the sole of your foot is gone. If that’s the case, what you’ve got is called a foot ulcer.

A foot ulcer crater is often surrounded by a border of thickened, callused skin. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Some craters are shallow. In severe ulcers, the red crater may be deep enough to expose tendons or bones. If you have a foot ulcer, you should see your doctor.

People with diabetes are more likely to get severe foot ulcers. That’s because diabetes can cause nerve damage in the feet, which makes them less sensitive to pain or discomfort.

People with diabetes can injure their foot significantly and not know it because they

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff experience no pain. As a result, the ulcer can slowly get worse.

People with diabetes are at special risk from having a foot ulcer. Because diabetics often have poor blood supply in their feet, their foot ulcers have more trouble healing. Healing requires a good blood supply to provide energy and a steady flow of immune system cells to do its work.

Foot ulcers are vulnerable to infection. An untreated infection can develop into: • An abscess, or pus-filled pocket; • A spreading infection of the skin and underlying fat; • A bone infection; • Gangrene, an area of dead, darkened body tissue.

If you have good circulation, your doctor can treat your foot ulcer by trimming away diseased tissue and removing any nearby callused skin. The doctor will apply a dressing and may prescribe specialized footwear to relieve pressure on the affected area. If there is a

possibility of infection, you may need to take antibiotics.

Foot ulcers that do not respond to more conservative therapy may require surgery.

If you have poor circulation, you may need surgery to correct blood-flow problems in your leg arteries.

And if the circulation is poor enough, there may be no way to cure a foot ulcer, and the recurrent infections that develop in that ulcer, except by amputating the foot.

So, if you’ve had one foot ulcer, you should see your doctor about it. After the ulcer is cured, you should take steps to help prevent future ulcers: • Examine your feet every day to check for rubbed areas, cracks or calluses.

• Wash your feet every day using mild soap and warm water. Dry thoroughly. Apply moisturizing lotion to dry areas.

• Wear roomy, wellcushioned shoes and soft, absorbent socks.

high school popularity Dear Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 and will be entering a public school for the first time this fall. I will be excited but very nervous. I want very much to make new friends and be popular with my classmates. My mother has suggested that I write to you for any tips you can share about succeeding socially, since you are a former high school administrator. – Jill, St. Paul, Minn.

Dear Jill: An article in Teen Magazine offered some excellent tips on student popularity. According to the article, any student can become more popular. It takes confidence, common sense and a willingness to try new things: 1. Be friendly. This is the No. 1 ingredient in popularity. It’s important to have a ready smile for everyone and to know how to start conversations.

2. Be a good friend.

Be supportive when a pal has a problem. Never be judgmental. Always keep a friend’s secrets to yourself and avoid gossip.

3. Develop a good sense of humor.

Laughter is a people magnet. According to Dr. Alan Entin, a clinical psychologist in Richmond, Va.: “People love to be around other people who have a good sense of humor because they’re fun to be with.

They’re able to look at things objectively and laugh at themselves, and, in general, they’re more upbeat.”

4. Build your selfesteem. Confidence and popularity go hand in hand. If you’re short of self-confidence, one easy way to give yourself an instant boost is to make a list of your good qualities.

The next time you’re

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace stuck in an “I don’t have anything to offer anyone” mood, whip out the list, and you’re bound to feel better.

5. Don’t be a copycat. Be a leader, not a follower.

The next time you feel pressure to do something because “everyone else is doing it,” think twice. Doing what you want, even if it sets you apart, is the way to win respect, which is the foundation of longterm popularity.

6. Don’t belong to a clique. Being a part of many crowds gives you exposure to more people.

It also can save you from gaining the reputation of being a snob.

7. Strive for good grades. Being a good student does two important things for your social status: It causes people to admire you and it makes you more interesting – because the more you learn, the more interesting you are.

8. Keep up on current trends. Part of being popular means keeping up with new trends. It will give you plenty of ammunition with which to start a conversation or join one in progress.

9. Take advantage of extra-curricular events sponsored by your school. Join clubs that you might enjoy.

Count your losers and lose the extras

CELEBRITY CIPHER

James Patrick Murray, a former sportswriter, said, “Show me a man who is a good loser, and I’ll show you a man who is playing golf with his boss.”

That reminds me of a story about Sam Snead, who still has the most wins on the PGA tour. While an office boy, he was playing golf with his boss.

They reached a downhill par 4 that was more than 300 yards.

Snead, who had the honor, waited. His boss suggested that Snead should hit his drive.

Snead pointed out that the foursome in front was still putting on the green.

“Do you want a job tomorrow?” asked his boss.

“Yes, sir.”

“Then drive.”

Snead hit his ball onto the green into the middle of the foursome. I hope the boss apologized to them. And I guess that Snead won the match.

At the bridge table, it is important to track losers. In this deal, how should South play in four spades after West leads the diamond queen?

South has five losers: three hearts and two diamonds. He can discard a heart on the club ace, but needs to trump a diamond in the dummy (unless the suit breaks 3-3).

Declarer should take the first trick on the board, pitch a heart on the club ace, play a diamond to his ace, and lead another diamond. In a moment, he will ruff his last diamond with dummy’s spade 10, so that East cannot overruff.

South will take six spades, two diamonds, one club and that diamond ruff in the dummy.
