By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Among the thousands of visitors to Scarecrow Fest on Saturday was one woman with a unique connection to the annual event: Jean Becker.

Becker, of Florida, is the former Greater St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau executive director who created Scarecrow Fest, now in its 28th year.

“I think it’s incredible that it has the staying power that it has,” she said.

Staying power, indeed. The downtown St. Charles festival has attracted up to 150,000 people in recent years and has received recognition from the American Bus Association and, among other organizations, NBC’s “Today” show.

The festival started with 12 scarecrows, doughnuts and ci-

der, Becker said. She noted its purpose was to attract people to St. Charles and showcase the city.

Amy Egolf, the bureau’s current executive director, has made similar statements about the festival’s purpose, describing it as a marketing tool for the community.

“The value the fest brings to our community in terms of exposure is next to incalculable,” Egolf has said.

This year’s Scarecrow Fest, which ends Sunday, features a carnival, a petting zoo, live entertainment, children’s activities and scarecrow displays.

While many local groups, businesses and individuals create the scarecrow displays, some out-of-town residents, such as the Kiouressis family, make a special trip to participate.

Formerly of North Aurora, the Kiouressis family lives in Keno-

sha, Wis., and has twice traveled to St. Charles for the event, Stephanie Kiouressis said Saturday near the family’s “Despicable Me” mechanical display.

The family of five spent many nights in front of the TV preparing for the event, which involved hot gluing more than 5,000 corn kernels, she said.

“It’s a fun thing to do,” Kiouressis said. “We really missed it last year when we didn’t come.”

Becker, meanwhile, hadn’t been to Scarecrow Fest for about 10 years, she said.

She and her family, which includes great-grandchildren, started with such children’s activities as make your own scarecrow – an activity that was popular years ago, she said.

Despite her out-of-state residency, Becker said she continues to keep up the festival.

“I love to hear about what’s going on,” she said.

Chuck and Char help with marriage proposal

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Michele Bauer didn’t have an inkling that her boyfriend, Mark Adrian, was up to something when he took the microphone at the main stage in Lincoln Park during Scarecrow Fest on Saturday.

That type of behavior isn’t, as she explained, out of character for him.

She thought he was just going to say they have attended the festival for nine years, she said, but he kept talking.

With the help of two Steel Beam Theatre actors portraying the festival’s mascots Chuck and Char, he asked her to marry him.

She said yes and seemed to be at a loss for words.

“I had no idea,” the Algonquin resident said. “None.”

The proposal, however, had been in the works since summer, said Adrian, a Schaumburg resident. He said he wanted to pop the question during Scarecrow Fest because that’s where they had their first date nine years ago and continue to return to the event.

So, Adrian said, he called the Greater St. Charles Convention

Standing behind them are actors portraying Chuck and Char, the festival’s new mascots. and Visitors Bureau, which produces the festival.

“They were very receptive to the idea,” Adrian said.

Jason Pawlowski, the bureau’s marketing manager and festival liaison, said a few ideas were considered before deciding to incorporate the scarecrow mascots, which he created.

“It’s great to see the logos for

the festival come to life,” Pawlowski said.

Pulling off the surprise proposal took a lot of planning, meetings, help and, Adrian admitted, lying to Bauer.

But it worked, down to the last detail.

“It even fits – the ring fits,” Adrian said after slipping it on Bauer’s finger on stage.

Motorcycles arrive Sunday at the Batavia VFW as part of the DuKane ABATE Food/Toy Run. Services, and Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center in Aurora, among others.

ABATE is a political action group organized to lobby for the interests of motorcyclists.

The biker parade roared off from Elburn around 12:30 p.m. with an escort from the Kane County Sheriff’s Office and arrived in downtown Batavia shortly before 1 p.m.

Along the route, police officers and members of Kane County Emergency Manage-

ment blocked off intersections to allow the hundreds of motorcyclists rapid passage.

On the grounds of the VFW, the motorcyclists were treated to a festival atmosphere, with live entertainment, food, beverages, and a vendor area, in which select purveyors of motorcycle-related merchandise as well as several nonprofit organizations could seek to drum up support.

Among those in the vendor

Lieutenant governor candidate, others stop by Scarecrow Fest in St. Charles

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Visitors to downtown St. Charles on Saturday had the chance to meet Evelyn Sanguinetti, the running mate of Republican governor candidate Bruce Rauner.

Sanguinetti, along with State Senator Karen McConnaughay and others, spoke

with people on Fourth Street near Lincoln Park, where Scarecrow Fest activities were held.

A Wheaton City Council member, Sanguinetti is a practicing attorney and adjunct professor at the John Marshall Law School.

This is her first foray into state politics.

“And I’m all pumped up,”

Sanguinetti said.

In addition to appearing in St. Charles, the lieutenant governor candidate on Saturday planned to attend a campaign event in Wheaton and then visit Waukegan.

“We’re very excited,” she said. “I’m dying to meet many more people.”

The Republican primary is in March 2014.

BATAVIA – John Bloch knows that many nonprofit groups might organize fundraising drives in and around the Tri-Cities.

But each year few, if any, other local fundraising drives are quite as loud and boisterous as the one Bloch’s group has organized and run for more than a quarter century.

“We’ve been doing this for 27 years,” said Bloch, of North Aurora. “It’s a good thing we’ve got going.

“So we’re not going to stop now.”

Sunday, Bloch was among dozens of volunteers helping to organize the DuKane ABATE chapter’s annual Toy and Food Run. DuKane ABATE president Judy Kaenel estimated the event drew almost 2,000 participants.

Most of them rode more than 1,000 motorcycles, on a roaring parade route that began at Knucklehead’s Tavern in Elburn and ended at the Batavia VFW post on Route 25, south of Batavia’s downtown.

Participants were required to pay an entry fee and to donate a toy and nonperishable food items. The donations were to be distributed to a number of local charities and governmental agencies, including area food pantries, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, the Society of St. Vincent DePaul, Lutheran Social

for the memorial group, said events like the Toy and Food Run are a key source of support for his group, as bikers, he said, are generous toward veteran-related causes.

“Many bikers are veterans themselves, and those that aren’t, wanted to be,” Bergeron said. “These kinds of gatherings for us are great. We’re always well received.”

Others jockeying for support from the assembled bikers included such political figures as local state legislators, candidates for Kane County Sheriff, Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen, and candidates for Illinois governor, State Sen. Kirk Dillard and State Treasurer Dan Rutherford.

Motorcyclist Jim Markham, of Elgin, was among the hundreds who rode from Elburn and gathered in Batavia Sunday.

He said Sunday’s ride marked his second year participating in the event. This year, he also volunteered, helping to set up the festival grounds on Saturday.

“People see motorcycles, and they think riders have a bad name,” Markham said.

“But most of the time, you see a large group riding on a weekend, it’s usually a group raising money for someone.”

Bloch, who served as DuKane ABATE’s president last year, said the event is the largest such charitable run staged by his group each year.

“We hope this will pay off,” he said. “And it sounds like it already did.”

Geneva’s Grace Krueger hits a return during Saturday’s Upstate Eight Conference tournament at Geneva High School.

East holds on for UEC River title

By DENNIS D. JACOBS editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – Saturday was a great day for the Geneva and Batavia girls tennis teams in the Upstate Eight Conference River Division championships, but not quite good enough to overcome the points lead St. Charles East had coming into the tournament.

The Saints used their unbeaten regular season duals record to finish with 67 points, two more than the Bulldogs and three more than the Vikings.

St. Charles North finished a distant fourth with 45 points.

The Saints picked up their only tournament championship at No. 2 doubles, with Alexa and Carly Huskisson teaming up to beat Batavia’s Brook Lefevre and Sydnee Unterberg.

Geneva swept to victories in all three singles finals Saturday. At No. 1 singles, Kirby Einck cruised past Dahlia Keonavongsa of Elgin, 6-1, 6-0.

“I felt like I played my game and I was dominant,” Einck said. “I picked my spots and I hit them right. I just knew when to hit what and I was playing smart. I think it was a really good weekend.”

Einck, a junior, is hoping to continue her strong play at next weekend’s St. Charles East Sectional.

“I think it’s been a great season,” she said. “It’s been my best by far. I’ve only lost twice. I feel good going into sectionals.”

Einck defeated Nora McClure of Batavia, 6-0, 6-0, to reach the finals. McClure bounced back to claim third place by defeating Steph Sakyi of Streamwood, 6-0, 6-0, and Sarah Church of East, 6-2, 6-1.

“I was really happy about it,” McClure said. “I knew this tournament was going to be really hard, so I’m pleased with how I did. … Today I was just trying to be really consistent and just get every ball back that I could.”

At No. 2 singles, Geneva freshman Grace Krueger won the title with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over East’s Jaci Spoerl.

“I thought I played pretty well,” Krueger said. “I tried to work on my game. … I was trying to work on my serve and getting more power and just trying to move my opponent around.”

Elizabeth Prendergast completed the singles sweep for the Vikings with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over North’s Micaela Mascha in the No. 3 singles final.

Batavia took two of the three titles in doubles. Jenny Mizikar and Amelia Cogan teamed up to claim the No. 1 doubles championship with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over East’s Haydyn Jones and Kelsie Roberton.

“I believe that we played very well together,” Cogan said. “We communicated really well. We were just on this weekend. We played a great tournament.”

Mizikar said she believes the win will give the duo confidence heading into the sectional tournament.

“It definitely helped that we beat them because they’re in our sectional,” she said. “I feel we have a really good chance of doing really well in sectionals. Hopefully we get a good draw and can go pretty far and hopefully win it.”

Mizikar is a senior and Cogan a junior, but the Bulldogs will be losing both players at the end of the school year, since Cogan is moving to Boise, Idaho, as her father moves for his job.

Batavia also captured the title at No. 3 doubles with Holley Smorczewski and Julianne Robinson combining to down East’s Jamie Youngberg and Emmy Russell.

Hate to say it, but looking like it’s going to be a very nervous pairings day for some area football teams.

Maybe a disappointing one, too.

St. Charles North is one of a few teams that look like it could be on a crash course with a 5-4 record, meaning the North Stars’ playoff fate will depend on playoff points/ strength of schedule.

Gulp.

Batavia did a number on North for a full game, something no one else has been able to say so far this year. The Bulldogs gave a conference championship-caliber performance, and if they can do so two more weeks, it’ll be Three-Peat time in B-Town.

North now has to beat Larkin and South Elgin to have a chance at the playoffs, and neither week is a gimmie.

St. Francis and ACC are a couple more teams that look likely to wrap up at 5-4. The Spartans losing that lead to the Cadets had to be painful, but in the big picture, the health of the young man who was taken off via ambulance is much more important. Best wishes.

It’s October, so Sly’ll use a baseball analogy for Kaneland’s win over Yorkville. The Knights were an ace pitcher who was able to win without his best stuff. You gotta do it sometimes, though Kaneland knows it’ll need to be better to stay unbeaten next week against redhot Sycamore.

Geneva smacked Elgin around for a four-game winning streak. The Metea game next week should be interesting.

And give East credit for dusting itself off against Streamwood after an ugly first half. The Saints better figure some things out over the next week, though, or they might not fare any better against Batavia than their crosstown rivals did Friday.

By MATT LE CREN editorial@kcchronicle.com

in Heinrich to hold the North Stars (2-11-2, 0-4-1) without a single shot.

“It was great to see one of the seniors finishing up his high school career here,” Jennison said. “Last time he’s going to play against a local rival on their turf. He had his best game in a Saints shirt today, no doubt about it. He was absolutely fantastic.”

The Saints also dominated up front, unleashing 17 shots and taking 13 corner kicks.

Usually that results in more than one goal, but this time it was left to a defender to dent the net.

“I think it just shows the nature of this team that anybody can score,” Macek said. “We’re not a team of one superstar, one go-to guy. Anybody on this team can step up and score on any given day and I think that really bodes well for our team.”

While pleased with his team’s effort, North coach Eric Willson is getting tired of close losses.

“I think we defended well but we certainly struggled on the offensive end,” Willson said.

“We’ve got to find a way to put the ball in the back of the net.”

East v’ball edges Geneva for third at Mizuno Cup

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com AURORA – Fatigued from a three-game semifinal loss to eventual Mizuno Cup champion Plainfield North, St. Charles East girls volleyball players glanced a few feet over and found sudden replenishment Saturday.

Geneva also had lost its gold bracket semifinal, creating a scintillating third-place match that offered a prelude to the Upstate Eight Conference River Division showdown between the Saints and Vikings in 10 days.

East’s 19-25, 25-17, 25-22

victory came amid lapses from both sides. Players and coaches foresee a heightened atmosphere next time around, although it hardly was lacking on the Great Lakes Center SportCourt.

“We respect Geneva. They are a good team. They have a lot of great young players and stuff,” Saints senior setter Carly Jimenez said. “But we knew that we could compete with them. We took a tough loss, so we just really came into it thinking that we want to beat them. We want to place as high as we can in the tournament, so that’s what we did.”

Both East (21-5) and Geneva (20-7) have one conference loss, no different from Tri-Cities counterparts St. Charles North and Batavia. It’s possible the Oct. 22 Saints-Vikings match will decide the league champion.

Regardless, the Saints expect a key cog back in the lineup then, as senior middle Mikaela Mosquera is expected to return from a head injury by the end of next week.

Senior Ashley Bullock and sophomore Sydney Urban have been part of the rotation up top that has done Mosquera and the rest of the Saints proud.

ST. CHARLES – St. CharlesNorth did a great job of preventing all of St. Charles East’s top offensive players from scoring Saturday night.

But the host North Stars couldn’t keep Cooper Macek from stealing the show.

Macek scored one of the best goals of the boys soccer season on a diving header with 14:08 left in the first half and that was all the Saints needed to clinch a 1-0 win and the Upstate Eight Conference River Division championship.

St. Charles East (17-0-4, 5-01 UEC River) will attempt to win the overall UEC title for the second straight year when it travels to Valley Division champion Metea Valley at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Macek’s goal, which was his first of the season, came off a corner kick from Jordan Moore. Running from right to left across the crease, Macek met Moore’s serve head-on near the left post and redirected it past North goalie Billy Larsen, who had no chance on the play.

“It was a great goal,” Macek said. “A diving header against North to win conference, you only dream about stuff like that.”

Macek, a senior defender, had tallied only once before in his varsity career, but East coach Paul Jennison may have had a premonition Macek would score.

“We joked before the game that he was going to get a goal and fantastically he did,” Jennison said. “It was a beautiful corner by Jordan and a great header by Coops. He managed to get himself on the end of it and if you attack the ball, good things will happen, so very proud of him for that.”

Diving headers aren’t something players generally practice because you never know when such an effort will be required, but Macek was prepared.

“Every so often we do [practice it], but playing in the back, headers is what you do every day,” Macek said. “It’s second-nature, so I can’t be afraid of heading the ball.”

Macek also teamed with Kyle McLean, Jacob Sterling, Brandon Villanueva and Kev-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to be the woman everyone is laughing at because they know his history. As I said, we are content and happy, but I need to move past this or move on, I guess. – The Current Woman Dear Current Woman: You say this “darling” man has never had a monogamous relationship – before, during or after his marriage. Therefore, the odds aren’t great that he’ll have one with you.

It’s time to ask yourself (not me) if you would be willing to tolerate his fooling around if you were his wife. Some women – the wives of attractive or powerful men – are open-minded about it if their husbands are discreet. The real question is, are you?

Dear Abby: I wrote to you three years ago about throwing parties on unique days, such as 7-7-07, 9-9-09, etc., and you printed my letter.

Well, I’m still at it, even though the special numbers have run out. I planned a brunch on 11-11-11. Everyone who attended chipped in $11 apiece. The money that was left over I donated to a hunger program. Twelve of us met for lunch at noon on 12-12-12, and this time each person paid – guess how much – $12.

This year, we’ll be having brunch at 10:00 on 11-12-13, and I’m already planning ahead for next year’s celebration, which will be on 12-13-14 at 1500 hours.

Any suggestions? – Claire (Again) In Bethlehem, Pa. Dear Claire: You appear to be a fun, clever woman with a zest for life. And yes, I do have a suggestion.

How about making next year’s celebration a tea with a holiday theme? After all, “’tis the season,” and any leftover money could be donated to a children’s charity.

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: I am upset with myself for getting my granddaughter the cellphone she begged me for. I wish the phone companies would put restrictions on them. I wondered why she was feeling tired in the mornings until I caught her on the phone at 4 a.m. She can’t get dressed in the morning because she’s texting every two minutes.

When her friend, who she was always very active with, came over, the girl wound up watching a movie with me because my granddaughter would not stop texting in her bedroom. She wasn’t like this until she got this new boyfriend. Should I talk to his parents? It is consuming her life, morning, noon and night.

I have told her she can’t have the phone until her homework is done. – Frustrated Grandma In North Carolina Dear Grandma: You shouldn’t expect the phone company to decide what is acceptable in your home. As the adult in your household, it’s up to you to assert control.

Enforce cellphone limits.

If you think she can’t be trusted not to use it after lights-out, see that she gives you her phone at bedtime.

In the morning, return it to her once she’s dressed and ready for school. And when she invites friends over, make sure she understands it is HER responsibility – not yours – to entertain them, because what she did was rude.

Dear Abby: I have met a darling man I’m compatible with in every way. We have similar tastes in just about everything from decorating and landscaping to entertainment.

My problem is his past.

From what he says, he has never had a monogamous relationship, even during his marriage. After the divorce he pursued anything female.

When we are out at a club or a concert, I constantly encounter women he has been with. He tells me he is happy for the first time in his life and he would never cheat on me.

I have never been the jealous type, and I’m really not now. I just don’t want

A tough play for anyone to find

SOLUTION

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Wilson Mizner said, “Life’s a tough proposition, and the first hundred years are the hardest.”

At the bridge table, for most players the first trick is the hardest. They do not give it nearly enough thought.

Today’s deal, for example, would defeat most players – although, to be honest, many would still make the contract courtesy of a misdefense by East. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest spade and East puts up the nine. What should happen?

I agree with North’s not using Stayman with 4-3-3-3 distribution and honors in every suit.

South starts with eight top tricks: two spades (given the opening lead), four diamonds and two clubs. In addition, two more tricks can be established in hearts.

It looks so easy to win the first trick and play a heart. However, East can take that trick and return his second spade. This establishes his partner’s suit, while West still has the heart king as an entry. South loses three spades and two hearts.

A better line for declarer is to cross to dummy with a diamond at trick two, then to play a heart.

But if East is knowledgeable, he will take the trick and lead back his remaining spade. (Remember, if you have only one card left in partner’s suit and it is one lead from being established, do your utmost to win the next defensive trick, trying to save your partner’s entry for use once his suit is ready to run.)

So, what is the solution?

South must duck the first trick.

Yes, East will lead the spade six, but declarer still gets two spade tricks, and when East is in with his heart ace, he will not have a spade left. (If East had a third spade, South would lose only two spades and two hearts.)
