Businesses swapping T-shirts to build a sense of community

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Today, employees of two downtown St. Charles businesses plan to wear a slightly different uniform than usual: T-shirts from the other shop.

Paul Lencioni, president of the Blue Goose Market, came up with the idea of the business T-shirt swap as a way to build on the sense of community he’s experienced at his family’s store, 300 S. Second St. “Let’s grow it,” he said, noting a desire to demonstrate goodwill and camaraderie among downtown busi-

“I thought it was really cute.”

Kim Elam Owner of Kimmer’s Ice Cream on shirt swap nesses.

That’s why his employees today will wear T-shirts from nearby Kimmer’s Ice Cream, and why Kimmer’s Ice Cream employees will wear Blue Goose T-shirts.

“I thought it was really cute,” Kimmer’s owner Kim Elam said of the idea.

The shirt swap is another way for the businesses to sup-

In addition, the scoop that reporter Brenda Schory got on some other Hollywood stars being cited for public intoxication in Geneva after the charity event garnered much attention on our website – so much so that the story got picked up by the entertainment outlets TMZ and MailOnline, the website of the United Kingdom-based Daily Mail.

port each other, Elam said, noting Kimmer’s, 1 W. Illinois St., often works with the Blue Goose.

The market not only sells Kimmer’s products, she said, but it also helps when the ice cream shop has freezer issues.

Lencioni, who chairs the Downtown St. Charles Partnership’s Marketing and Promotions Committee, said he ran the idea by the partnership’s executive director, Lynne Schwartz.

The partnership supports the shirt exchange, he said.

Schwartz was unavailable for comment Friday because her voice mail indicated she was out of the office.

Hanging out with long-horned beetle duo A male longhorned beetle, Graphisurus fasciatus (right), hones in on the pheromones emitted by his intended (left).

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto Last Monday night, even though I was dog tired, I stepped outside for a bit of fresh air before bed. It’s a simple exercise, one I take part in frequently, and something that typically takes only a minute or two.

But this time, I made the mistake of glancing up.

Usually, I know better.

Especially this time of year, when warm nights give way to all sorts of insect activity. The moths. The beetles. The lacewings. All were swirling about the light on the deck, and all are irresistible to this nature girl, even at bedtime.

But as I watched our usual cast of characters carry out their nightly business, a new player caught my eye. It was a long-horned beetle of some sort, small, but with an appendage I’d never seen before: an ovipositor protruding from the tip of her abdomen.

Well, shoot. Bedtime was going to have to wait.

I went inside and grabbed my camera, then headed back out, with Joey my faithful pup at my side. First he sat, but then laid down; he could tell this was going to take a while.

As I fussed with getting just the right angle on the beetle, which was posed rather inconveniently on the pane of the light fixture, I noticed a bit of movement just to my right.

Lowering the camera, I turned and saw a male long-horned beetle, undoubtedly of the same species as the girl on the glass.

He alit on the sliding door and began crawling toward the light and Ms. Ovipositor.

I chuckled a bit as I realized that he and I were captivated by the same creature – though for entirely different reasons.

As he redoubled his efforts to get closer to her, I became even more determined to get the perfect pic.

I stood there hoping against hope that the female would jump off the light and head toward the male, where there was less glare, but instead he flew over to light. There

the two of them sat, antennae twitching, while I stood staring into 40 watts of fire, trying again to get a decent shot.

The male, definitely the more apt of the two to fly, took off for the door once again.

Naively thinking maybe I could just move the female over to him, take a picture and then go to bed, I reached over to pick her up. She was quick, though, and I was clumsy. I watched as she evaded my grasp, then scrambled up my arm and into my shirt.

This was a development neither I, nor the male beetle, could have predicted.

Lying on the deck, Joey

snorted and sighed. Familiar with the fresh-air-before-bed ritual, but not tonight’s odd diversion, he watched quizzically as I danced around and shook my shirt, trying to get the beetle to drop out.

I looked up one sleeve, then the other, and brushed my hand across my belly and back. Finally convinced that she was gone and with the male no longer in sight, I decided it was time, at last, to hit the hay.

Stepping inside, I stopped for just a moment to click through the pictures I’d taken.

I then leaned over to pick up the camera case and … plop!

Our BARN is BURSTING with Farm Fresh Veggies!

The female beetle fell out of my shirt.

Lord knows where she’d been hiding, but now there she was, in imminent danger of getting licked up by Joey, who was suddenly interested in the night’s activities. He was soon joined by Jimmy, the resident cat and champion insect eater.

The three of us scurried around the kitchen in pursuit of the female beetle, which apparently wasn’t inclined to fly. I grabbed her just before Jimmy did and whisked her outside, only to have her start scrambling up my arm again.

I quickly plucked her off my elbow and put her on the

door frame. In a flash (though not from my camera, for it was still inside) the two reunited and began their antennae twitching anew.

At this point I had two choices: Either sit back and watch what played out next or, hallelujah, go to bed.

I, of course, opted for C, firing up the laptop and heading to Bugguide.net to try and figure out which species (besides my own) was responsible for this late night folly.

After a bit of clicking, I settled on a tentative ID of Graphisurus fasciatus, a species with no common name. Although its larvae have a taste for hardwoods, it doesn’t appear on any lists of insect pests.

Oh, and that ovipositor on the female? As the terminal segment on the insect’s abdomen, it can also be referred to as a pygidium, from the Greek pygidion, diminutive of puge, or buttocks.

Tonight, when I step outside for some fresh air before bed, I’m adopting a new strategy: I’m heading out an hour earlier and taking my camera and a cup of coffee. You see, there were these spiders …

member could be in place for the Sept. 9 board meeting.

The board must appoint Oberweis’ replacement.

The most recent board election didn’t draw as much attention, but it’s notable that Sugar Grove Township residents were not able to prevail in that election because of the amount of people already serving on the board from that area.

Because Oberweis is from that area, such residents now are eligible to serve.

Among the candidates are: • Monica A. Kellen, a Sugar Grove resident. Kellen’s resume indicates she is involved

Back to School Special

in the PTO at John Shields Elementary School and was the director of the Kaneland Foundation in 2009 and 2010.

• Carolyn A. Decatur, a Sugar Grove resident, who is a regulatory analyst for a company called IHS. Her cover letter indicates that her children attend McDole Elementary School.

• Peter Lopatin, a Sugar Grove resident.

His resume indicates he is a member of the Citizen’s Advisory Committee and a founding member of the Kaneland Arts Initiative. His cover letter indicates he is married

to Diane McFarlin, the Kaneland High School assistant principal.

• Jerry Elliott, an Aurora resident. Elliott informed board members of his intention to run at Monday’s meeting in Sugar Grove.

His resume indicates he is the treasurer of the Sugar Grove Water Authority Board.

• Adam Parks, an Aurora resident. Parks’ cover letter indicates he has children at McDole Elementary.

His resume indicates he is a financial adviser at First Command Financial Services.

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ELBURN – Three teenagers who were playing with toy guns near Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School on Friday afternoon were taken into custody after a bus driver saw somebody “who looked suspicious” near the school, according to Kaneland School District 302 Superintendent Jeff Schuler.

Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School was on lockdown for about 10 minutes. The three boys were not charged and they were later

released to their parents.

Elburn Police Chief Steve Smith said the situation included three teenagers who were two blocks south of the school in a field. Two of them had airsoft pellet pistols, and one of them was wearing a dark blue utility vest that resembled body armor.

“Nobody was ever in danger,” Smith said. “They looked like real guns. They are made to look like real guns.”

Airsoft guns are replica firearms that fire plastic pellets through compressed gas or electric and/or spring-driven pistons. Smith said the

teenagers did not attend the school.

Laura Garland, the principal at John Stewart, said that the school was locked down from about 3:35 to 3:45 p.m., but that the students already had been dismissed for the day.

According to an email sent

by Kaneland school officials to parents, the driver noticed a suspicious-looking person near the corn fields located near the school. The driver, following the district’s safety procedures, notified the district’s transportation director.

that the area was safe and that any students and staff could be released.

ST. CHARLES

Woman disrupts traffic, police say

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – An intoxicated woman was hospitalized Thursday after disrupting traffic in western St. Charles, police said.

Officers from the St. Charles Police Department responded to the 1400 block of West Main Street about 3:30 p.m. for a report of an intoxicated subject in the roadway, police said.

Upon arrival, officers reportedly found the woman, who had been in the traffic lanes.

Because of her level of intoxication, police said, medics were requested, and the woman was taken to Delnor Hospital in Geneva for evaluation.

No charges were filed, police said.

“It caused quite a scene,” said Daniela Saracco, who works nearby.

Vehicle burglaries reported in Sugar Grove

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Police in Sugar Grove on Friday urged residents to lock the doors on their vehicles after several residents reported burglaries.

That has been a common theme this year, as several police departments have issued such notices to residents about unlocked cars.

The reports have been in the Windstone and Black

Rollins said it’s not unusual for residents to continue to leave vehicle doors unlocked, even if there are many reports of such burglaries, saying that people “are very trusting in their ways.”

“This is not uncommon in all communities, even with the number of car and

residential burglaries being reported throughout the nation,” Rollins wrote in an email. “Law enforcement continues … to educate the communities on the importance of locking their car and home doors” to avoid such “crimes of opportunity.”

Rollins said police are asking for the public’s help, as there is no suspect information at this time.

DISTRICT 304

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Geneva School District 304 Superintendent Kent Mutchler received an additional $9,000 into a tax-deferred annuity in his new contract, in recognition of his performance the previous year, according to the contract extension released this week.

Mutchler gets $5,000 contributed to the tax-deferred annuity every year as part of his compensation, board president Mark Grosso said. The annuity is a 403D, comparable

to a 401K in private industry, he said.

The additional money is a reflection of Mutchler’s good work, Grosso said, especially the state-required teacher evaluation process without hiring any extra employees to do it.

“The implementation of that teacher evaluation with no increase in head count,” Grosso said. “That would have been a huge hit on our budget.”

Mutchler was credited for the $375,000 Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools for a multiagency di-

saster training drill, and improvement in student academic achievement, Grosso said.

“That $9,000 was a performance stipend,” Grosso said. “We would like to trend toward more performance-based compensation with less off the base. If performance is very well, we got a reward, and we hope this trickles down.”

The board approved his contract extension in a 5-2 vote Monday. In it, Mutchler received a 2.5 percent pay increase to more than $203,720 for the current school year and an extension of his five-

year contract by one year to June 30, 2018. The previous contract listed his base salary as $198,751.

The previous one-year contract extension was approved April 8. Grosso said the board was dealing with the teacher contract and other issues, and held back finalizing Mutchler’s contract extension.

Grosso said the additional money goes into Mutchler’s personal retirement account and is not counted toward earnings for state pension purposes, saving taxpayers some money on those pension costs.

Mutchler’s vacation was reduced to 25 days from 30, and allows him to accumulate some of them and sell some back to the district at a pro-rated cost, according to the contract.

Mutchler was given a choice to buy the 2006 Ford mini van the district leased for him when he came here.

With the board’s encouragement, Grosso said Mutchler paid $4,500 for the van, which has 125,000 miles on it. In exchange for not having to pay vehicle expenses, the district will pay him $800 a month for his travel expenses.

well as windmills, which represented the industrial activity centered in the downtown.

The sculpture includes elements relating to the Potawatomi, which means “Keepers of the Fire.” This piece is the second of four sculptures to grace the William J. Donovan Bridge. The theme of “Nature” was earlier represented by installation of “Nature’s Sounds of Harmony” by area resident Kai Schulte.

The district’s hope is that providing access to resources, safety and security will first be enhanced by supporting individuals through periods of emotional distress and moving them toward mental wellness.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

P-Card use leading to waste Consumer economics is a common course offering at the high school level.

It looks to us like many school district officials ought to re-take the class to better understand how to operate within a tight budget.

Kane County Chronicle reporter Ashley Sloboda this week detailed the prevalent use of procurement cards – commonly called P-cards – by local school districts.

There is not a public school district in the area that has the right to be a spendthrift with taxpayer money, particularly given the strained economics under which schools continue to operate. In many cases, that seemingly obvious message has not been received.

Batavia’s P-Card transactions for the last school year included a $297 dinner at Eddie Merlot in Louisville, Ky., for then-Superintendent Jack Barshinger, Chief Academic Office Brad Newkirk and Assistant Superintendent for Finance Kris Monn. Less than a week later, almost $2,000 was dropped by a group including district officials on a dinner at Morton’s The Steakhouse at Wacker Place when they were in Chicago for a conference.

Sounds like Batavia officials have some explaining to do, but they won’t do it. Monn told the Chronicle that the district is not commenting on specific expenses from that time period. Why not? Something tells us if

there were an acceptable rationale, those involved would find a way to make that clear.

For the 2012-13 academic year, St. Charles School District 303 spent more than $8,000 at Panera alone in P-Card transactions, while Batavia spent about $4,700 at Pal Joey’s and Kaneland about $3,600 at Paisano’s Pizza.

We recognize there are school events at which providing refreshments seems like the hospitable thing to do, and we’re not going to begrudge school employees for providing visitors the occasional bottle of water or bagel when the occasion calls for it.

But school districts are always wrestling with the need to be frugal when it comes to providing services and equipment that might not fit into the budget. That same logic should apply to entertaining, whether it be themselves or others.

It is especially galling when high-salaried administrators are the ones running up big tabs.

They can afford to buy themselves a posh dinner on their own time.

Perhaps school districts should consider establishing a modest per diem amount for certain employees to spend on travel expenses or special events. School boards, too, ought to take a more active role in overseeing the expenditures.

Leaving these purchases up to common sense is leading to embarrassing waste.

OUR VIEW

Football season a participation sport The 2013 football season is up and running around the Tri-Cities, and fans are excited about the upcoming games.

There are few things that can bring a community together like a football game on a fall Friday night or other prep sports.

Even if football’s not your thing, there are numerous extracurricular activities coinciding with the games that are worthy of support, including fundraisers for school and charitable organizations that depend heavily on support at football games.

We encourage you to

support your local school this season.

If you did not make it to a game this weekend, Week 2 is a great time to start, considering Batavia, Geneva, Kaneland, St. Charles East and St. Charles North will be playing at home.

We wish all of the fall athletes in the area – football and otherwise – healthy and successful seasons.

Safety concerns, particularly about football, have rightly drawn increased attention in recent years, and we encourage parents, athletes and coaches to keep all the appropriate safety protocols in mind, even

as competitive juices flow.

The Kane County Chronicle’s Prep Football Preview Section that published Thursday focused on evolving technology that has allowed high school teams to fine-tune their game preparation.

That’s all well and good, but be sure to put your 21st century device of choice down for a few minutes at the game and simply look around, absorbing the sights and sounds of high school football.

No matter what era we’re living in, the imagery of a community coming together never gets old.

Afraid of the bunny clown? Why? I’m calling about the bunny clown in Elburn. Why were they scared of a little bunny?

Who decided that children were being chased by the clown? It was probably none other than the parents who decided this. How childish, instead of asking the bunny who she was, they said, “Oh, she’s chasing us.” No charges were filed.

Why should there be charges filed? This was just a teenager having a little fun. I think Elburn should grow up, especially the parents.

Quit making up these stories.

Puppy mills are bad I’m responding to the Sound Off item about “Wonderful dogs.”

The person had actually adopted a dog from a store that they believe [had] gotten the dogs from puppy mills. The problem is not the store.

The problem is the puppy mills have deplorable conditions for these dogs. I, personally, was involved with fostering a dog from a puppy mill.

The dog cages were stacked on top of one another, so the feces and the urine went down on other dogs. Some of the dogs that were not on the top level had to be totally shaved and bathed.

This was an unheated place in rural Aurora.

Fortunately, the woman who ran this puppy mill was found out about, and the police entered the situation.

The dog that I had went

outside, and she never knew what outside was. It’s deplorable, and that’s the point.

It’s not what the stores are doing, rather, it’s where the dogs are obtained from.

Shut down puppy mills For the person who wrote [about] encouraging people to buy puppies at stores that get their dogs from puppy mills, all I can say is unbelievable. As long as she’s happy, I guess horrific places like puppy mills should stay in business. What people should do is research the breed that they want and find a reputable breeder.

They should research what puppy mills actually are and why rescue organizations go in there and take dogs away from those people.

It’s lucky that she rescued, basically, two dogs from a store, but what happens to those puppies that outgrow their cute puppy stage and are left at the store?

Puppy mills should be shut down.

Outstanding Concours d’Elegance I have gone to the Concours d’Elegance for many years and would have to say this past Sunday’s event was the best ever.

Not only were the classic turn-of-the-century cars shown, they also had a good collection of newer sport, foreign and muscle cars.

Again, thanks to the city and to everyone who made this

event possible. In noting the record crowds, it looked like everyone sure enjoyed it. I know I did.

decisions, yes, but if they can find these heroin drive-thrus in the west and south side of the city of Chicago, why can’t the police?

We’re all going to die What’s with this use of the word “passed” for “died”?

Whenever I hear this euphemism, I want to say, “Did the person pass the bar exam?

Did the person pass go and collect $200?”

Oh, you mean died. What are people afraid of? We’re all going to die. Let’s quit playing games and use the proper terms.

Too hot for school Give us a break Here we go again, Batavia.

Spend the taxpayers’ money.

Put that new field in. Let us live off the land. Whose land?

Not God’s land. Let’s not pass this again. This is ridiculous.

Batavia, you are taxing us out of our homes. Give us a break.

No more taxes, please. I can’t stand any more taxes.

Where’s my P-card?

Superintendent of School District 304 wants a raise?

What is the matter? Look at the money he makes. Can’t he live on that? But, no, let’s put more money onto the taxpayers’ bills. And also the P-cards! Let all residents have one.

The ‘Heroin Highway’ The “Heroin Highway” is Interstate 290, to and from Chicago. If they want, all suburban kids, late teens, early 20s, know where to find heroin sold on the streets of Chicago, as a drive-thru service. Look for the documentary about this epidemic that features the Heroin Highway.

I think most of us have heard of someone who has lost a family member or a friend to this horrible addiction. Almost 50 deaths in DuPage County, and roughly half of that in Kane County, annually, can be stopped.

Young adults make bad

There is no reason for schools to be starting in mid-August. There is no reason for schools to be ending in May. There are schools that are not air conditioned.

Classrooms with stifling heat are not conducive to learning.

And yet, school districts insist upon rejecting common sense by starting and ending the school year way too early.

There is no reason for schools to end their first semesters prior to winter break, so high school students can take their finals.

They can take them in mid-January. High school students live in the community. They do not have to travel long distances, as many college students do.

For colleges, it makes sense to end the semester prior to the start of break, but not for local schools. It’s time to demand that our local school districts start using common sense.

It’s time to launch a nationwide movement called SOS, save our summers.

A sad commentary on modern life There is no doubt that cellphones are a wonderful thing.

They provide safety and security and the means to communicate for both emergency and convenience purposes.

However, the advent of

smartphone technology, as well as other technology, is creating a nation of addicts.

More and more people are now a part of the chaos of constant communication. Are you lonely?

Are you needy? Is your life so lacking in direction and purpose that you need to always be in constant communication with someone else?

Don’t you like your own company?

It’s obvious that many people don’t enjoy the company of the people they are with, as they are constantly checking their phones, even when out in a restaurant and other public places.

This is indeed a sad commentary on our modern life.

Teach the Common Core

The viewpoint in the Chronicle on 13 of 34 Batavia businesses with liquor offenses was right on.

For all the good points the city has, this is a black mark on the city. How much longer will they get by with just a slap on the hand? Please, in the future, suspend their liquor licenses.

A black mark on Batavia

15

I’m seeing all these articles about the Common Core state standards and how people are so upset about these Common Core standards.

The only reason I think people would be upset is because teachers wouldn’t begin to know how to teach those standards. I learned those things when I was in school. I was reading at a college level in third grade.

I have read books that were college level all my life and beyond. We did math. We did science.

We did geology. We studied the byproducts of what processes were going on in our neighborhoods and our industrial parks. We learned.

We learned how to read rocks. We learned how trees worked and all that stuff. I don’t know what the big deal is, except that the teachers won’t be able to teach it.

They don’t even know how to do long division without a calculator.

I think we need a whole lot more of this, and we need to concentrate on STEM for American citizens and not worry so much about the foreigners.

We need to give Americans jobs first.

rik Mahan knows his officers can’t catch everyone driving too fast or unsafely through the mileslong maze of orange cones and barricades that is otherwise known as East Main Street.

But Mahan, commander with the St. Charles Police Department, said that isn’t necessarily the point.

“You ticket some, and you get the attention of others,” Mahan said. “And then people just drive more safely.”

For most, it is simply a cost of living on the western edge of one of the country’s largest metropolitan areas: The inconvenience of driving through the maze of detours, lane alterations, traffic flow pattern changes, inconvenient stops, traffic backups and dusty, uneven bumpy tracks brought about by the annual summer rite of road construction.

But in recent years, along with those traffic pattern and flow difficulties, motorists in Kane County and elsewhere have had an additional burden slapped on – reduced construction zone speed limits.

In most highway construction zones, those limits are typically set at 45 mph.

But in some areas, such as stretches of Route 64 through St. Charles, the limits can be set lower.

And the reduced limits could be no small matter, as signs regularly posted throughout construction zones inform all driving through. Violate those speed limits, and you could face a fine of at least $375.

In the past, the fines may have only applied when workers were present in the construction zones. But now, those fines apply at all hours, every day, for as long as the construction zone is in place and marked.

The reduced speeds were put in place to emphasize the state’s desire to protect road construction workers and those driving through the work zones.

And in recent years, data

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Vehicles travel through the construction zone on Route 64 in St. Charles. provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation shows the reduced limits and stepped-up enforcement of the limits in various places may have accomplished some of that goal.

Last year, the state suffered just 4,764 crashes in work zones, a decrease of 43 percent from 2006. And of those crashes, 19 resulted in fatalities, down from 31 work-zone crash fatalities as recently as 2009.

Locally, police agencies said they have placed a greater emphasis on policing traffic through construction zones in recent years.

In St. Charles, for instance, police have maintained a regular presence through the large construction zone on East Main Street since work began in 2011, Mahan said, looking for those driving unsafely, driving too fast or using an electronic device while driving in the work zone.

However, that emphasis has not necessarily resulted in a large number of people charged specifically for speeding in the construction zone or using a cellphone in the work zone.

According to St. Charles Police records, six drivers have

been issued citations specifically for speeding in a construction zone so far this year.

That construction work is scheduled to end this fall.

This year’s ticket total for that charge compares to nine such tickets written in 2007, when work was wrapping up on a large construction zone on West Main Street at Randall Road.

However, from 2008 to 2012, St. Charles Police issued just one ticket for speeding in a construction zone.

In other local departments, such tickets were even more sparse.

Batavia has issued just three tickets for speeding in a construction zone from 2008 to 2013.

Geneva, after writing seven tickets for work zone speeding in 2007, has written a combined six such tickets in the years since 2008.

Illinois State Police, however, have been busy in the region this year, as road construction projects have snarled traffic through the region on Interstate 90 and U.S. 20, among other roads.

In District 2, which includes the counties of Kane, McHenry, DeKalb, Lake and DuPage,

the state police said they had written 177 tickets for speeding in a construction zone so far this year.

That compares to 30 written in all of 2011 and 11 in 2012.

Numbers are harder to obtain on tickets issued for charges of using electronic devices while driving in a work zone, because local police records technicians said their records cannot differentiate between tickets issued for using cellphones while in a construction zone or in a school zone.

The state police said they have maintained a heavy enforcement of this law, writing 1,318 tickets on that charge so

far this year in District 2. That puts them on pace to eclipse the 1,881 tickets written on that charge in 2011 in the region, but behind last year’s pace, when they wrote 2,343 tickets.

In Geneva, records reveal no such tickets issued since 2007.

In Batavia, officers have written eight such tickets so far this year, compared to seven in both 2012 and 2011, and 14 in 2010.

And in St. Charles, the city has written four tickets to motorists using electronic devices in a construction or school zone. That city wrote two such tickets in 2012, the first year it wrote tickets for that offense.

However, Mahan said the ticket numbers don’t tell the whole story.

He noted, for instance, that officers can choose to issue tickets for the more traditional charge of speeding, even if the violator commits the offense in a construction zone.

Also, officers in St. Charles have issued a relatively large number of warnings to motorists for driving while using a cellphone in a work or school zone, he said.

So far this year, city police have issued 163 warnings for that offense. Last year, police issued 42 such warnings, after writing 17 and 19 warnings, respectively, in 2011 and 2010.

Mahan said, often, just getting pulled over in a traffic stop – whether a ticket is issued – can work to enforce the speed limit in construction zones, reminding both the speeder and those around of the need to slow down.

FRIDAY FUNK FOR AREA TEAMS False start

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com

New game times for Week 1: TODAY Riverside-Brookfield at St. Francis, 9 a.m. today Plainfield Central at Marmion, 11 a.m. today Glenbard North at Batavia, 1 p.m.

St. Charles North at Elk Grove, 1 p.m. (previously scheduled) St. Charles East at South Elgin, 1:30 p.m.

Geneva at Oswego, 7 p.m.

Hampshire at Burlington Central, 7 p.m.

Brooks at Kaneland, 7:30 p.m.

TUESDAY DuSable at Aurora Christian, 5 p.m.

Batavia football coach Dennis Piron delivered his postgame address to a bunch of somber-faced Bulldogs on Friday night.

If it weren’t for the clean uniforms and the indoor venue, it sure looked like a consolation speech was being delivered.

The Bulldogs had not lost their season opener against Glenbard North. That game, like almost all others involving Kane County Chronicle area teams Friday night, was postponed until today by persistent lightning.

Batavia is 0-0, not 0-1, but the Bulldogs still looked grim.

“They want to play so bad, but that’s a good thing.

They’re excited,” Piron said moments after dismissing his team from Batavia’s fieldhouse. “They worked so hard. They just want to play. And I’m sure Glenbard North feels the same way.

“They want to get out there. They’ve been working, toiling, practicing. They want to play a game. That’s why you do this. So they’re upset.”

The Bulldogs-Panthers game was moved to 1 p.m. today and will be part of a suddenly busting day of high school football. St. Charles North’s game at Elk Grove, Geneva’s game at Oswego and Kaneland’s home game against Brooks were among

the local games pushed to today.

St. Charles East already was scheduled to open its season against South Elgin this afternoon.

The Batavia-Glenbard North game was among the most hyped opening-week matchups in the entire Chicago area. After the sophomore game was delayed late in the second quarter and eventually postponed, officials hoped the varsity matchup could be started by 8:30 p.m. but the lightning – accompanied by plenty of rain – lingered.

Piron said he wants the Bulldogs to treat the new arrangement “like we would for a Saturday playoff game.”

“We’ll get in here early, we’ll do training table, we’ll be focused, we’ll watch film.

We’ll do all the stuff we would do on a Saturday in the playoffs,” he said. “This will be a dry run for that later in the year.”

First-year St. Charles North coach Rob Pomazak served as a teacher and assistant football coach at Elk Grove for 13 years, spending the past two seasons as the Grenadiers’ defensive coordinator.

North’s visit to Elk Grove was already scheduled before Pomazak joined the program, but the last-minute delay to 1 p.m. today was not.

ST. FRANCIS FOOTBALL

One more day for opening Stadium debut now to come at 9 a.m. today

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com WHEATON – St. Francis had to wait four years for the chance to play a football game on campus.

What’s another 13 hours?

The Spartans were set to open the sparkling new Kuhn Memorial Stadium on Friday night against Riverside-Brookfield. The new digs, complete with lights, artificial turf, and new home and away bleachers, replaced an old grass field that easily flooded and was seldom used for anything but practice in recent years.

Mother Nature had other plans for the opening of the stadium, and after rain, wind and lightning rolled through the area, the varsity game was officially postponed

shortly after 8 p.m.

Yet the delay and eventual postponement was mostly taken in stride.

“Football is football,” senior lineman Keegan Riccobene said. “As a team, it doesn’t matter if it’s Friday night. We could play Sunday.

We’re all ready for Game 1, no matter what time, no matter what place. We’re ready to play ball in our stadium.”

D u r i n g Greg Purnell the weather delay, St. Francis players walked the halls inside the school. Some listened to music on headphones, some refilled water bottles gone dry.

Many paced just to keep moving.

When the game was officially moved to today, St. Francis coach Greg Purnell gathered his players briefly and imparted one simple message.

“I’ve learned after 29 years as a head football coach and

47 years as a high school football coach that you can’t control things that you can’t control,” Purnell said. “Weather is one of them, but life goes on and you just say, ‘Hey, see you tomorrow morning.’ ” St. Francis players shed their uniforms for street clothes and headed home to rest up for today’s game. The anticipation of finally playing a true home game may make sleep hard to come by for some players.

“It’s going to be crazy. It’s going to be awesome,” senior fullback and linebacker Craig Pallardy said. “How pumped we were to play tonight, it’s just going to carry over and it’s going to be even crazier to finally play at home.”

“This gives us something to look forward to,” Riccobene said. “We were so ready to hit someone else after all these days of practice. Now we have to wait another day, but it’s just more anticipation, more energy building.

We’re all going to be ready [today].”

Night” for Batavia’s popular youth program.

“Every family had plans [for their Saturday] and a lot of people have college football plans and stuff but we are going to try to honor Junior Bulldogs as much as we possibly can,” Andrews said.

A handful of Batavia players lingered in the fieldhouse playing catch with a football after the team meeting, while others tried to figure out what to do with themselves the rest of the night. Bulldogs offensive lineman Mitch Krusz said his plans were to “go home, play some Madden. I don’t know. Just keep football in mind.”

“It’s a whole different situation now,” Krusz said.

“Those who have played a Saturday game know what it’s going to be like, but those that don’t they might struggle. We’ve got to help them through that to be ready for tomorrow.”

The field at St. Francis sits empty after the Spartans’ game Friday against Riverside-Brookfield was postponed. The two teams will play at 9 a.m. today in Wheaton.

“Did I ever expect my first game as a head coach against my former school to be rained out? Probably not. Baseball, maybe, but not football,” said Pomazak, who also was a lower-level baseball coach. “So we’ll just line it up and do it all over again tomorrow. We’re excited about it.”

While most games were moved to today, Aurora Christian’s game against DuSable was rescheduled all the way to 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Aurora Christian coach Don Beebe said that the travel turnaround for the Chicago team would have been too abrupt today and with Labor Day falling on Monday, the two sides agreed that “Tuesday was the easiest for everybody,” Beebe said.

Aside from players’ disappointment, the postponements caused several administrative headaches.

Batavia athletic director Dave Andrews said the school would not charge admission during this morning’s sophomore game since most of the sophomore parents already had purchased their tickets Friday, but would start charging admission around noon. The school could work with fans on a case-by-case basis because of the tricky logistics, Andrews said.

Tribute on tap for former Geneva athlete Kaligian graduated in 2003, played golf, baseball for Vikes The forecast calls for a beautiful day for golf today, the kind of afternoon on which Geneva boys golf coach Bill Koehn vividly recalls Raymond Kaligian carving up courses with precision and savvy.

Kaligian is no longer around to enjoy Saturdays like this, but members of the Geneva community are coming together today to make sure he’s not forgotten.

The class of 2003 Geneva graduate will be memorialized with the dedication of a bench near the Geneva High School baseball field in a ceremony at 1 p.m. today.

A highly regarded golfer and baseball player during his days at Geneva, Kaligian died in his hometown of Houston in February in

what has been described as a freak occurrence of carbon monoxide poisoning when his car’s automatic starter turned on and the fumes traveled through a vacuum duct into his bedroom, where he and his dog were reportedly found dead.

Geneva boys golf coach Bill Koehn, in the final year of his 30 years of coaching the Vikings, will be among today’s speakers. It won’t be an easy task, Koehn said.

“I can remember watching him at Mistwood Golf Club down in Plainfield, and he missed a hole-in-one by inches on a par-3. I can still see him running to the green, he was so excited,” Koehn said.

“Just a good kid.”

The Vikings’ 2013 golf season has been dedicated to

PREP ZONE Jay Schwab Kaligian, who had a girlfriend and was employed by Phillips 66, Koehn said.

Kaligian’s parents, Ray and Bobbie, reside in Geneva. The family attended the Vikings’ first home match of the fall and became acquainted with team members.

“He was one of my favorite all-time players,” Koehn said. “A young man who was probably a better baseball player when he first started playing golf, but he really worked hard at it. He was

all-conference as junior in golf but senior year he was conference MVP and he still holds I think three or four records for the school playing for me.

“He was one of those kids you just loved being around.

He was very well respected by younger kids on the team.

Some seniors will just ignore freshmen completely, but Ray was one who was there to help them. He was just a great leader. His demeanor on and off the course was just special.”

Koehn said Kaligian missed qualifying for the IHSA state tournament by one stroke his senior year.

He was one of the top stu-

dents in his class at Geneva and opted to focus on academics rather than pursue sports in college, Koehn said.

Koehn said this year’s team is committed to trying to live up to Kaligian’s example.

“My two captains have been very supportive,” Koehn said. “I’m pretty sure the team will be there to support the family this weekend.

I know we’ve talked about that, and they want to be involved.”

BATAVIA GIRLS BASKETBALL

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

Shaw Media file photo

Batavia senior point guard Liza Fruendt (right) verbally committed to Missouri State on Friday. including those from in-state schools Loyola, Illinois State and Northern Illinois. Fruendt also entertained thoughts of joining Geneva senior Sidney Santos at Oakland (Mich.).

Santos committed Tuesday.

“I was planning on going to visit there after my visit to Missouri State, but it just worked out that this was it,” said Fruendt, whose older brother, Nick, played at Northwestern.

Missouri State saw Fruendt play AAU ball last month and offered her a scholarship during the July recruiting period.

Fruendt, who’s entering her fourth varsity season for the Bulldogs, was especially impressed with the Missouri State coaching staff.

Head coach Kellie Harper, who joined the program from North Carolina State in April, won three national championships as a player under legendary Tennessee coach Pat Summitt.

Harper’s assistants include her husband, Jon, as well as former Bears standout Jackie Stiles, whose 3,393 career points as a player in the late 1990s and early 2000s still stand as an NCAA record. Stiles led Missouri State to the Final Four in 2001.

“I go there and that is the best of the best,” Fruendt said.

“The things that I’m going to learn from Kellie, the things that I’m going to learn from Jackie is going to be stuff that’s not just on the court, but for the rest of my life.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Wheaton Academy football blasted in opener KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE CLAYTON, Mo. – The metro St. Louis area avoided late afternoon storms Friday, but that didn’t necessarily make it an ideal setting for football.

Wheaton Academy discovered as much in a 44-0 loss to Westminster Christian in its season opener.

The Warriors committed seven turnovers, fumbling five times and throwing two interceptions.

“All around it was a very ugly, ugly game and we’ve got a lot to work on,” Warriors interim coach Brad Thornton said. “We’ve got a lot to work on.”

Wheaton Academy trailed, 21-0, at halftime, and the de-

fense surrendered a touchdown on the first play of the second half. The Warriors followed by breaking through to block the extra point attempt, an encouraging sign to Thornton.

After the game, Thorton and his staff told the Warriors they could either choose to respond to adversity or quit.

“This is a team that I think wants to respond,” he said.

“We’ll learn from it and be ready to get back after it [at practice] Monday.”

BOYS SOCCER Jacobs tournament: At Algonquin, Kaneland’s tournament and season opener was postponed until today with the Knights trailing Harvard, 1-0.

“They had one shot on goal and they made it,” Knights coach Scott Parillo said. “We have about seven shots on goal and have not made it.”

The match, by default, is at halftime. Harvard scored about 26 minutes in, but all tournament games have been shortened to 25-minute halves to accommodate other games scheduled for today.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Mother McAuley 2, St. Francis 0 (25-20, 25-22): At Wheaton, St. Francis opened the defense of its 3A state title with a narrow loss before a capacity crowd.

The Mighty Macs built early leads in Game 1 (13-8) and Game 2 (15-11) and held on.

Willson Contreras produced an infield hit to bring home Amaya while Giuseppe Papaccio knocked home Jeimer Candelario with a single to center, giving the Cougars (53-79, 23-43) a 2-0 cushion in their road finale.

Carlos Escobar finished with three hits for the Cougars.

Four relievers combined for four scoreless innings – Al Yevoli, Matt Iannazzo, Andrew McKirahan and Kenny Socorro.

Socorro, listed as a coach, pitched for just the second time in his pro career.

The Cougars return to Fifth Third Bank Ballpark at 6:30 p.m. today to open a threegame series against Peoria to close the regular season.

Missouri State joined the Liza Fruendt sweepstakes later than many of the star Batavia point guard’s other suitors.

Timing doesn’t have to be everything. As soon as Fruendt arrived on MSU’s Springfield, Mo., campus this week, she realized she wanted to Bear down.

Fruendt verbally committed to play her college baskeball for the Missouri Valley Conference school after taking an official visit Wednesday night and Thursday. She arrived home Friday with a gut feeling and big news.

“It wasn’t even like I was a recruit, you know,” Fruendt said. “I fit in right away, and it was just natural.”

The reigning Kane County Chronicle Girls Basketball Player of the Year, Fruendt averaged 19.7 points as a junior while amping up her leadership role for a young – and streamlined – team.

Batavia scored a breakthrough 18-win season despite keeping just eight varsity players.

While Fruendt remained a solid distributor and defender, her presence as a scorer added to her college exposure.

She estimated “12 or 13” offers,

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – A sixrun bottom of the fourth inning broke a 2-2 tie and carried the Cedar Rapids Kernels to an 8-2 victory against the Cougars on Friday night.

Max Kepler put the Kernels (86-49 overall, 46-21 second half) on top in the fourth by hitting his ninth home run of the season. It was the third homer of the night surrendered

by Starling Peralta, who also coughed up back-to-back blasts in the first to Niko Goodrum and Jorge Polanco.

Josue Montanez cruised through seven innings for Cedar Rapids after a shaky first inning.

Gioskar Amaya started the game by reaching on a double.

Bears waive 17 players, including Webb

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com No Bears player received more scrutiny this preseason and the past three years than offensive tackle J’Marcus Webb, and his time with Chicago came to an end Friday.

Webb was one of 17 players cut, as the Bears trimmed their roster to 58 players.

The deadline to have a roster of 53 players is at 4 p.m. today.

In addition to Webb, the Bears waived the following players: ArTrent Edwards mando Allen, Derek Dennis, Jerry Franklin, Brittan Golden, Brandon Hartson, Demontre Hurst, Josh Lenz, Tom Nelson, Fendi Onobun, Christian Tupou, Harvey Unga, Aston Whiteside and Josh Williams.

Three vested veterans had their contracts terminated: Trent Edwards, Jordan Palmer and Edwin Williams.

A seventh-round pick in 2010, Webb started every

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

The Bears’ Fendi Onobun walks the sideline during the game against Cleveland on Thursday at Soldier Field.

Onobun was waived by the Bears on Friday. Onobun is a prime candidate for the practice squad. game in each of the past two seasons and had 12 starts in 14 appearances in 2010.

According to Stats Inc., he allowed 33.5 sacks in those three seasons.

The Bears tried to light a fire under Webb, who has the size and athleticism for the

position, by demoting him and cutting his base salary after the preseason opener.

It didn’t work.

Webb ran with the second team the rest of the summer, but couldn’t crack the final roster. He was flagged three times in the past two presea-

son games, including a false start in Thursday’s finale.

“It’ll be good to have a fresh start,” Webb wrote on his Facebook page. “[Three] years of starting with no injuries? [I’ll] be [OK]. I’m not different than many of you.

Change is good.”

Onobun had a roller coaster summer. In practice, he flashed the athletic potential that the offensive coaches loved. In games, he looked flustered at times and had several drops.

The Bears can form an eight-man practice squad Sunday, and Onobun is a prime candidate, assuming no other team claims him off waivers. If the Bears are serious about the former basketball player’s potential, they can continue to develop him on the practice squad.

Another likely player to rejoin the team via the practice squad is Hurst, an undrafted rookie corner. He had a strong finish to his preseason, leading the team with seven tackles and picking off a pass in the preseason finale.

Whiteside made several plays in the opponent’s backfield during the preseason, including a big stop on a two-point conversion attempt against the Browns. He is also eligible to be a member of the Bears’ practice squad.

Allen was a victim of poor timing and impressive play from a rookie.

OPPORTUNITY Are last cuts the hardest?

1

At 6:30 Friday evening the Bears had three more cuts to make by 4 p.m. today to get the roster down to the maximum 53 players, but that doesn’t mean as many as four, five or six players aren’t still in jeopardy. Before the final three cuts the Bears have 10 defensive linemen, 10 defensive backs, nine offensive linemen, seven linebackers and seven wide receivers and they could very easily end up carrying one or even two less players in any of those groups. I’m also hearing from multiple sources that the Bears continue to scour the waiver wire for potential upgrades at tight end and in the secondary.

The players still most likely to go are Taylor Boggs, Corvey Irvin, C.J. Wilson, J.T. Thomas, Terrence Toliver, Cheta Ozougwu and Zach Minter, possibly in that order. Boggs, Wilson and Minter could all be prime practice squad candidates.

When Marc Trestman said he preferred having three quarterbacks in the room, he meant three who know his system. With Jordan Palmer and Trent Edwards now on the street he could have as many as five if he adds a youngster on the practice squad.

No surprises yet Find out how consumers on offense after cuts As we now survey the playing field and see who’s left standing on the Bears’ 53-man roster, it is more than worth noting that the Bears commitment to upgrading the offense has extended well beyond the hiring of Marc Trestman as coach.

The 2013 opening day lineup was set when Trestman stated after the Browns game Thursday that he expected Kyle Long and Jordan Mills to start versus the Bengals. That only four starters from 2012 – Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall and Roberto Garza – will start this season is far more than a footnote.

But it is significant only if Tony Fiammetta, Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett, Jermon Bushrod, Matt Slauson, Long and Mills are better from day one than the players they replace, and if the Bears have the talent behind them to fill in adequately in the event of an injury.

Let’s start with the obvious. Jeffery appears dramatically improved over where he was last year as a rookie and is a much greater threat at the position than either Devin Hester or Earl Bennett were, depending on which you count as last year’s starter.

With Earl Bennett now your No. 3 and the promising Marquess Wilson and Joe Anderson and dependable veteran, Eric Weems, behind him, this team is definitely better at wide receiver. Of course, that assumes Marshall can repeat last season.

With the numerous different personnel packages Trestman will have in his offense, you really have to lump the fullback, Fiammetta, in with the remaining tight ends to evaluate them. Fiammetta is a better lead back than anyone they had in the halfback spot last year, so he appears to improve the ground game significantly.

Clearly, Martellus Bennett brings more to the tight end position than Kellen Davis, Matt Spaeth or Evan Ro-

BEARS INSIDER

Hub Arkush driguez ever did, but Steve Maneri and Kyle Adams add little comfort as backups or in two tight end schemes.

The Bears are better here than last year but don’t be surprised if they find a veteran or two on the waiver wire to bring in for a looksee to complement Bennett.

The greatest hope for a dramatic improvement on offense comes from the hope that Jay Cutler will finally realize his enormous potential and that his new offensive line will allow him to do it.

Like the tight end and wide receiver spots, there is no question the additions of Bushrod and Long ratchet up the talent on the offensive line. But how long it takes Long and Mills to learn their craft and whether or not Slauson is actually an upgrade over James Brown, Lance Louis or Gabe Carimi is still very much an open question.

The offensive line will be better, but will it be good enough?

Depth is extremely thin everywhere on offense, but that fact is epidemic in today’s NFL. This group could probably stand one big hit at wide receiver or offensive line as long as it doesn’t come to Marshall or Bushrod.

Running back is probably the offense’s greatest strength as Michael Bush could start for a number of clubs, and Michael Ford looks like a bit of an upgrade over Armando Allen.

This much is for sure. If the offensive line can block, Cutler now has everything he needs to take a quantum leap forward and no more excuses not to.

Talk about how you’ve developed through the years on varsity.

I’ve been on it since a sophomore, and I’ve just grown so much strategically.

You’ve said Shea likes the ball high. Is it just an instinct to put it there for her since you’ve been teammates so long?

It definitely is. … She always gives it her all. I mean, she has been dealing with injuries, so that’s always hard for players. She’s always been great, but this year, she’s even better. I just think that’s through club and high school, just growing.

She likes to think she has a rapport with the others in that group – outside hitter Heather Meyer and middle hitter Shea Thayer – as well as the rest of the team. A one-time understudy to Marquette sophomore Mary Nilles at her position, Faulhaber quickly developed into a leadership role. Catching up with Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Kevin Druley, Faulhaber addressed that process and more in the latest edition of the Weekend Chit-

Yeah. I mean, we haven’t hit our peak yet, and that’s normal, because we’re just starting. But we’re growing each practice. We’re getting better each practice and playing together.

Sounds like there’s lots of positive energy around the Bulldogs.

We’re all excited to see what this season brings. I think we have a really talented team this year. I think we’re going to go really far. I’m excited.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS AT IOWA, 2:30 P.M. TODAY (BIG TEN NETWORK)

By STEVE NITZ

“I’m really anxious to get back out on the field. The last game we played, we lost, and I know I’m speaking for our team, we have a bad taste in our mouth.

We’re excited to play Iowa.”

snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – For the past eight months, Northern Illinois has been preparing for this afternoon to arrive.

The Huskies haven’t taken the field since their Orange Bowl loss to Florida State.

At 2:30 p.m. today at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa, NIU finally gets to play, and get rid of the sour taste from New Year’s Day. NIU is 0-8 all-time against the Hawkeyes. Iowa got a win over NIU at Kinnick in 2006, and won at Soldier Field in 2007.

The Hawkeyes were the only team to beat NIU in the regular season last year, winning 18-17, at Soldier Field on opening weekend.

“We did a lot of media interviews in the summertime, and when we came to fall camp, it was all about football. That’s what I’m here for, playing football,” NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch said. “I’m really anxious to get back out on the field. The last game we played, we lost, and I know I’m speaking for our team, we have a bad taste in our mouth. We’re excited to play Iowa.”

A year ago, Lynch was making his first career start.

He didn’t have his best game, going just 6 of 16 passing for 54 yards, although he did run for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Now, Lynch has 14 starts under his belt, and there’s a

NIU is most likely going to need to outperform last season’s 17-point effort. Huskies coach Rod Carey, looking for his first career victory, isn’t worried about his team’s offensive potential.

There isn’t a confidence issue.

“Oh yeah. A lot. Confidence, no doubt,” Carey said. “Execution, I’ll tell you about that after Saturday.

Confidence-wise, they’re more confident. They’ve

done it before. They’ve been there. Most of them are 14game starters. But execution, we’ve still got to go out and do it.”

On the opposite sideline, Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock will be making his first caeer start – he hasn’t even taken a snap at the collegiate level.

Carey said going up against a guy like Rudock is difficult to a certain extent.

“There are some challenges with that because they have never played before and

you don’t have any film on them,” he said. “But I think the good side to that is you rely on your basic rules and go ahead and play ball, which is really fundamentally what we’re all about.”

Don’t be surprised to see a heavy dose of running backs Mark Weisman and Damon Bullock, who will be running behind a big and talented offensive line.

“They have a pretty good O-line and they’re pretty sound at everything they do,” NIU linebacker Jamaal

Bass said. “If you mess up one time, they can gash you for eight yards. It’s important to play sound defense against these guys.”

Falcons cut Schiller: The Atlanta Falcons cut linebacker Pat Schiller – a Geneva and Northern Illinois product – on Friday as part of their latest round of roster moves ahead of the Sept. 8 season opener.

The team roster must be set at its season limit of 53 players by 5 p.m. today.

An undrafted free agent, Schiller advanced to the final round of cuts in 2012 before landing on Atlanta’s practice squad.

Schiller registered nine tackles during four preseason games, including five in the Falcons’ exhibition opener Aug. 8. He made two tackles Thursday night against Jacksonville.

Hoping for a cure for a dear friend I guess I’ve had kind of a hard week.

I’m never really mentally ready for school to begin, so there’s that, the annual mind-numbing process of being thrust so thoroughly into so many new structured school and extracurricular routines at once – which I liken to the burn upon re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere that a space shuttle experiences after floating quietly through space for a time – but I’ve got a lot of other stuff on my mind, too.

We didn’t exactly have a quiet summer, actually. Ours was oddly chaotic for various and sundry reasons, some of them quite positive, but lesson learned.

More down time next summer. More

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose time to relax, with absolutely nothing on the calendar. I’ll make sure we get it.

But someone else I love may not, and it’s really weighing on me. One of my dearest friends is waging the battle of her life, against chronic lymphatic leukemia, and it recently became way more aggressive. Way. But my friend? She’s a fighter.

Learning to Grow: The Katsura – a tree for all seasons

By CATHERINE HARRINGTON editorial@kcchronicle.com As August winds down, thoughts of fall loom on the horizon. Children have returned to school and our summer gardens begin to fade.

Pumpkins and mums will soon appear. Perhaps you will find a nearby orchard to visit; fresh baked apple pie sounds appealing on a crisp fall day! Many of us in northern Illinois welcome this change of season as it brings the beauty of brilliant fall colors to the landscape.

One of my favorite trees, the Katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) will soon feature eye-catching leaves that vary in color from yellow to orange to apricot. As the leaves drop, one can detect a slight odor of cinnamon or cotton candy.

I planted this tree many years ago, long before it became a popular specimen. The Katsura is a tree recommended for northern Illinois by the University of Illinois. Native

to Japan, this deciduous tree grows at a medium rate. The Katsura can grow 40 to 60 feet in height and is often broader than it is tall. I planted this tree in a back corner of my yard and, within a few years, the spreading tree offered a beautiful privacy screen for my in-town yard. In time, the tree appeared somewhat pyramidal.

It is important to plant this specimen tree where it can mature into a healthy mature tree. The Katsura favors moist, well drained soil. Place this tree in a spot where there is shade or partial sun.

This adaptable tree is best planted in the spring. The Katsura is a tree that suffers during a drought. A young tree will need additional watering during hot, dry spells. The Katsura, like most plants, trees, and shrubs, is usually pest free if it is planted in the proper environment.

See KATSURA, page 32

There’s still one more big gun in her arsenal, a bone marrow transplant.

But, try as she might, she just can’t fire that dang gun all by herself. That’s where we come in. Because if there’s one “cool” thing that can be said about this particular cancer, it’s that a cure exists, and we can be part of the cure.

Holy smokes! There’s someone out there, right now, who can help cure my dear friend! It boggles my mind that it’s that simple. We just need to find that person, and stat.

So please, if you have any inclination at all to at least see what’s involved in the process, visit bethematch. org.

Being tested is no more complicated

than collecting a mere cheek swab of cells (the test kit, $100, is tax-deductible).

According to the website, only one in 540 people who join the registry actually go on to donate, and potential donors can remove themselves from the registry at any time. Please consider it. If it’s not my sweet friend you get to fight for, perhaps you’ll become someone else’s angel, an answer to their prayer.

So yeah, rough week, to say the least. Plus, my allergies have been kicking my butt, particularly given the oppressive heat.

Finding peace in the presence of a child • FRIEND Continued from page 31

By Thursday afternoon, I was feeling pretty wiped out. I just wanted to go back to bed.

Instead, I made sure Holly got to soccer practice and headed to the stadium at Batavia High School to watch Noah’s second soccer game of the season. I wasn’t feeling all that sociable, but wound up sitting with my friend Margaret and her youngest, Maggie. I wasn’t really up for a visit, but don’t little ones and puppies sometimes know just what we need?

Maggie, an irresistible, impish sprite of a child with curly locks and eyes that really do smile, sidled up and presented me with a dandelion. Not a vibrant yellow one, but one she’d plucked from among the weeds behind the bleachers, one barely clinging to its wispy white seeds.

She instructed me make a

wish. It had lots of seeds, so I got to make lots of wishes.

And I did. But then I had to blow my nose.

“Are you coming back?” she called after me, as I headed to the ladies’ room.

She hiked all the way down those bleachers to ask me a second time, as I’d been too stuffed-up to catch her query the first time.

“I sure am!” I called back, my spirits lifting.

Is there anything more energizing and heartwarming than knowing that a child wants your company?

My friend, the one fighting for her life, she knows just what that’s like. She’s an elementary school teacher, and she wants to come back too. With our help, she’ll do it.

Katsura leaves turn bluish green at summer’s end • KATSURA Continued from page 31 As I mentioned, the fall colors on this tree are beautiful. In the spring, the new, heart-shaped leaves of the Katsura emerge with a hint of red. As summer unfolds, the leaves turn bluish green.

In winter, the leafless tree is still pleasing to the eye; the slightly exfoliating gray bark

provides visual interest.

I find this beautiful tree to be one that can be enjoyed throughout all seasons. You may wish to find a suitable spot in your garden for planting this exceptional tree next spring.

‘Austenland’ a great big tease

By AL ALEXANDER More Content Now If you removed the wit and social satire from “The Truman Show,” you’d have “Austenland,” an infuriating damnation of feminine fantasies that clumsily sets fiction and reality on a collision course. That it stars “The Americans’” Keri Russell, one of TV’s fiercer female leads, only adds to the depressive air of an alleged comedy that belittles the very women it works overtime trying to woo.

As Jane, a single 30-something with a “ticking clock,” Russell appropriately looks like a woman betrayed throughout – and with good reason. Director Jerusha Hess (“Napoleon Dynamite”) goes out of her way to make Jane look like a blithering idiot blinded by idyllic fantasies about romance and romantic men. True to her namesake, Jane wants to live her life like a character from a Jane Austen novel, frittering away her prime reproductive years holding out hope against hope that one day she’ll finally meet her very own Mr. Darcy.

Her friends think she’s borderline mental, given the degree Jane has immersed herself in everything Jane Austen, right up to her life-size cardboard cutout of Colin Firth’s Mr. Darcy from the BBC version of “Pride and Prejudice.” She even forks over her life savings for a trip to England to spend a couple of weeks living out her fantasies at an elaborate Jane Austen theme park, called appropriately enough, Austenland.

It’s run by the haughty Mrs. Wattlesbrook (a truly awful Jane Seymour), who has appointed her vast countryside estate into an 18th-century Plimoth Plantation, complete with hunky male actors to provide her mostly wealthy, lonely heart customers with a few cheap, insincere thrills.

But, please, “no touching.”

Yes, Austenland is just a great big tease, just like the movie, which raises themes of female identity and self-worth, but frustratingly refuses to get close enough to make discernible contact. Instead, it lamely attempts to fill in those cavernous gaps with the sort of bawdy jokes (most of them generated by an over-eager Jennifer Coolidge) and silly slapstick that would make Ms. Austen spin like a rotisserie in her

If you removed the wit and social satire from “The Truman Show,” you’d have “Austenland,” an infuriating damnation of feminine fantasies that clumsily sets fiction and reality on a collision course. grave. Lost in all the crassness is the fact that this is supposed to be Russell’s movie. But she’s denied it at every turn, often left stuck playing straight woman to a host of unfunny supporting players.

So, if Russell is looking like she’s feeling betrayed, it’s because she is. And the rat is Hess, who repeatedly leaves Russell hanging out in the breeze to take the rap for every failed joke or situation.

As with “Napoleon Dynamite” and “Nacho Libre,” Hess again boldly displays a flagrant dislike for her characters, forcing them into embarrassing or uncomfortable situations that serve no purpose beyond being mean. She obviously thinks it’s funny, but she’s the only one. Yet despite her gleeful attempts at sabotaging her actors, moments of depth and clarity emerge, but grudgingly. Most of them the result of her cast, not the predictable, colorless script she co-wrote with Shannon Hale based on the latter’s novel of the same name. Chief among the shining stars are J.J. Field as the irascible, Darcy-like Mr. Nobley and Bret McKenzie (of “Flight of the Concords” fame) as the sweet and charming Austenland stable boy, Martin, whom Jane confides in whenever she’s not donning empire-waist gowns to play her Austen-inspired character,

Miss Erstwhile.

Whenever Russell shares a dramatic scene with either actor as part of an offbeat love triangle, the movie ignites sparks. But they are quickly extinguished whenever Coolidge, so over the top she’s literally spilling out of her corset, or the resident sexpot, Lady Amelia (Georgia King), cheapen the satire with lascivious innuendo. Ditto for Ricky Whittle, who plays a well-endowed porn star who moonlights at Austenland as the Napoleonic war hero Capt. George East.

And therein lies the movie’s one and only joke: That everyone at Austenland is an actor, whether they are on staff or a guest. The point, I guess, is that in real life, we’re all actors, too, putting on airs to attract a mate.

All of us are also guilty of creating a fantasy world for ourselves, whether it’s as a character from a Jane Austen novel or millionaire from Austin, Texas.

“Austenland” suggests that there’s something terribly wrong with that, but with reality often filled with such bitter disappointment, what’s wrong with a little escapism?

Whatever floats your boat. And I can state emphatically that “Austenland” didn’t float mine.

What can I say to make him stop? – Biting Off Too Much In S. Carolina Dear Biting: Nail-biting is typically related to stress and anxiety. There are ways to stop, and he should talk about it with his doctor. Beyond suggesting that he make an appointment, nothing you can say will “make” your boyfriend change his behavior.

Dear Abby: I am 20 years old and have been in a relationship since I was 15. I never had a childhood.

At 14 I became an adult and never got to experience any teenage

I am the type of person who would hurt myself before I hurt anyone else. I think I’m ready to experience life as a separate individual, but I don’t know how to tell him. I don’t know how to start the conversation. Please help me.

– Not Ready To Settle Down Dear Not Ready: You are the type of person who would hurt yourself before you hurt anyone else? While that is altruistic to the max, it is a dangerous way to live your life. In a case like this, better HE should cry for a short time than YOU should cry for the next decade or so.

A way to start the conversation would be to say: “We need to talk, and I need to be honest with you.

Women with PCOS can restore fertility with medication Dear Doctor K: I was just diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. My doctor said it explains why I haven’t been able to get pregnant. What else can you tell me about this condition?

Dear Reader: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a group of symptoms that results from an imbalance of certain hormones in the female body. It is relatively common. About 7 to 8 percent of adult women in the United States have PCOS. As the name of the condition implies, the ovaries have multiple little cysts or follicles that can be seen using an ultrasound examination. However, similar cysts are seen in some other conditions, as well, so just seeing the cysts does not mean a woman has PCOS. The abnormalities that are more characteristic of PCOS involve sex hormones. Estrogen and progesterone are female hormones produced by the ovaries.

These hormones trigger monthly menstrual cycles and help eggs develop in the ovaries. The male hormone testosterone is also produced by the ovaries, usually in small amounts. It is in a class of hormones called androgens.

Women who produce too much testosterone develop PCOS.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff When everything is working properly, the ovaries release an egg each month. But when a woman has high levels of testosterone, her ovaries have difficulty releasing her eggs. Ovulation may stop or happen only occasionally, which makes it difficult to get pregnant. In addition, when no egg is released during a monthly cycle, a woman doesn’t have normal menstrual periods.

This increases the risk of cancer in the uterus.

Excess androgen hormones can cause acne and increased facial hair growth. Women with PCOS have high levels of insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar) and tend to be insulin-resistant. They are more likely to become obese and develop diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol problems and heart disease.

Women with PCOS also are more likely to develop obstructive sleep apnea, a potentially serious sleep disorder. It is not clear if this is because women with PCOS tend to be overweight,

and being overweight is a risk factor for sleep apnea.

In any event, all women with PCOS should maintain a healthy weight, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. This will help to prevent obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

Restoring normal menstrual cycles can reduce the risk of uterine cancer, and this can be done by using birth control pills containing estrogen and progesterone. In addition, they can control hair growth and acne.

Anti-androgen medicine also can help with unwanted hair and acne.

Most women with PCOS who want to get pregnant are now able to. A drug that helps the ovary to release its eggs is the main treatment.

Your doctor may prescribe a medicine called metformin if you have insulin resistance and pre-diabetes, or metabolic syndrome. Metformin also can lower testosterone levels, and restore normal menstrual cycles and fertility.

reunion a waste of time Dr. Wallace: I am the mother of four, and I respect your advice and feel it will be most helpful as my children approach their teens. However, I don’t understand why you encouraged a young lady to attend her five-year high school reunion, even though she was unpopular and had a miserable four years in high school.

I, too, was fairly unpopular at a very small high school. The popular “cliques” weren’t mean; they basically ignored me. I simply didn’t exist to them, or if I was noticed, it was as if I were a pest to be swatted away.

I was considered a minor annoyance. Because I was idealistic and thought things would be better because we were all adults now, I attended my 10-year reunion and had a nice time socializing with friends I’d kept in touch with.

But the majority of the class milled about seeing who married better, had the biggest house, made the most money, drove the fanciest car, had the cutest children or wore the biggest diamond.

I was still the same unpopular girl from high school. My “hellos” were either ignored or quickly dismissed. And people called me by the wrong name even though we only had about 50 in our graduating class. The food was terrible and the music rotten, so to my little group of friends it was an utter waste of time and money to attend. I could have spent the same money and simply dined with my group of friends without seeing people I cared nothing about.

My 20th reunion was a month ago, and you can bet I didn’t waste my money to go just to find out who had grandchildren, gained weight,

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace lost their hair, filed for bankruptcy, got divorced or became a millionaire.

I had no desire to see people I hadn’t spoken to in years. Obviously, they haven’t been missing from my life.

Why do you think it was so important for this young lady to attend her reunion? Do you really think any of those people who snubbed her in high school are going to suddenly say, “Gee, you look great now and so successful, too, so now I want to be your friend”?

I know I sound bitter, and I’m sure I’m resentful that I didn’t have a happier high school career. But I don’t cry over not having these “popular” people as friends. It’s too late for me to try to relive high school by being buddies now. – Nameless, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Nameless: I’m sorry your 10-year reunion proved to be virtually no departure from your unhappy high school days. Usually after a decade has passed, people have matured enough not to fall into juvenile patterns of exclusion.

If you have put your past unhappiness behind you, fine. You don’t need to attend another high school reunion. But if the pain and resentment from those days are still active, the best way to transform those feelings may be to create a different relationship with some of your old classmates. For your 25th reunion, get on the organizing committee!

Ideally, a water cooler would be placed in a kitchen. However, if there isn’t room for it in your parents’ kitchen, and meals are shared in the dining room, that’s the logical place for it. I can’t see why the water cooler would embarrass you. Most people’s homes don’t resemble the layouts you see in magazines.

Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend for three years.

We get along well, but he has the most annoying habit of gnawing

With two chances, try them both

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mark Twain said, “Necessity is the mother of taking chances.”

At the bridge table, the more chances you have to make your contract, the better.

In today’s deal, South ended in five clubs. West led the heart two. East won with the queen and, with nothing better to do, continued with the heart ace.

After ruffing, what should South have done?

North suffered greatly on the second round of the auction.

After opening one diamond, hearing East overcall one heart, and having partner respond two clubs, what could he do?

Nothing was perfect. Eventually, he chose three clubs as the least evil. Then South cue-bid three hearts, asking his partner to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. When North could not, South settled into five clubs.

South started with 10 top tricks: two spades, one diamond and seven clubs. He needed either a third spade or second diamond. Declarer initially wondered if either finesse would work, but then he saw he had a better line of play.

South drew trumps, then maximized his chance for three spade tricks by playing a spade to dummy’s ace and leading a spade to his king. When the queen appeared, he was playing for an overtrick. But if East had turned up with queen-fourth of spades, South would have still had the diamond finesse on the back burner.

The bidding does affect the odds here, but that is hard to quantify. A priori, one of two finesses will work 76 percent of the time. The recommended play comes in at 88.5 percent.
