EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Gresey It was just more than a month ago that I received an email from coworker J. Tom Shaw, the former publisher of the Kane County Chronicle, regarding a milestone birthday that was coming up in the community.

The email detailed how Paul Lencioni, president and general manager of Blue Goose Market in St. Charles, was turning 40 on Oct. 26, and how there’d been this dialogue between Tom and Paul in the past about the Chronicle potentially starting up a 40-under-40 program, where people younger than 40 could be recognized for their business accomplishments and other successes.

To date, the Chronicle has no such program. But that didn’t stop me from setting up an interview with Paul to find out about him and his business philosophies before he turned the big 4-0.

And so it was that I spent a few hours with Paul at the Goose on a chilly October afternoon, ready to ask a bunch of questions but finding Paul to be a pretty good talker on his own. (OK, that really did not surprise me. Paul is high-high-energy every time I see him.)

As we took a tour of the grocery store (including the roof, which offered a terrific view), ate steak sandwiches at the Goose’s weekly sea-

sonal cook-out (my sandwich – with horseradish – was amazing) and then took a mini-adventure to the site where the old Blue Goose store used to stand, Paul spoke about how he strives to manage his employees and take care of his customers.

It was positive stuff.

“If you’re not having fun, you’re not doing it right,” he said, adding how he enjoys helping people reach their goals and to see the impact they have on others. “ ...

I have the best job in the world. Other than Willy Wonka, it’s me.”

A print-out of world-class customer service characteristics that Paul shared with me reiterated some of those sentiments. The sheet reads, in part, “be happy and have fun;” “smile;” “do not panic;” and “have a sense of urgency and take pride in your work.”

Paul said his birthday wish is that everyone in St. Charles would shop at the Blue Goose – St. Charles and anywhere else for that matter.

The more the merrier.

“You’re doing business with your family, friends and neighbors,” Paul said.

“Just sell great food.”

Happy birthday, Paul.

And congratulations on all of your success. May the next 40 years be just as good to you.

A five-bedroom house at 316 S. Seventh St. in Geneva, which celebrity Jenny McCarthy once rented, sold for $1.8 million.

Geneva rental home of Jenny McCarthy sells for $1.8 million

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A house in Geneva that celebrity Jenny McCarthy once rented has sold for $1.8 million.

The five-bedroom house at 316 S. Seventh St. sold on Wednesday for $1.8 million.

The 6,700-square-foot house was put on the market in May for $2.3 million, but the price was lowered to about $2 million in July.

Sally Pelling, of Hinsdale-based Brush Hill Real-

tors, said the seller was happy with the selling price.

“I think the seller felt it was a fair price,” she said.

The real estate agent for the buyer could not be reached for comment.

McCarthy, who recently launched a radio show, had rented the home for a period of time. But McCarthy hasn’t lived there “for at least a year,” Pelling said.

The house is situated on 2.5 acres and features “amazing views of gardens, woods, creek and historic bridge,”

Specializing in: • Kitchens/Baths • Basements • Doors/Windows • Home Oices • Decks • Custom Carpentry

LICENSED and INSURED

according to the real estate listing.

“It was wonderful for [McCarthy’s] son,” Pelling said.

“There were a lot of amenities perfect for a young boy.”

McCarthy created a buzz in downtown St. Charles over Labor Day weekend when she married actor Donnie Wahlberg at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles. In August 2013, McCarthy held a “Dancing with the Stars” charity event at the Hotel Baker benefiting Bridges Montessori Academy of St. Charles.

COVER STORY

HEALTHY IMPROVEMENT

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Juanita Gryfinski, department chair for health services for St. Charles School District 303, shows some of the data the district has provided to the Kane County Health Department regarding sickness trends among students.

Enterovirus D68 declining in Illinois

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com An enterovirus that has led to increases in illnesses among children – and is affecting those with asthma most severely – is declining in Illinois, according to the latest information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Illinois is among 34 states that reported low or declining activity of enterovirus D68-like illness for the week of Oct. 12-18. Only one state

– Mississippi – reported increasing activity, and eight reported elevated activity.

The CDC also reported the virus has been detected in samples from eight patients who died and had submitted specimens for testing. Investigations are ongoing.

While enterovirus D68 isn’t new – it has been around for at least 50 years – there had been relatively few incidents of it until this year, Dr. Jeffrey Loughead of Cadence Health said.

“Illinois seems to be hard-

er hit than most,” he said.

Children seem to be most affected by enterovirus D68, possibly because adults developed immunity from other enteroviruses, which are “extremely common,” Loughead said.

Mild symptoms include fever, runny nose, sneezing, coughing and body and muscle aches, according to the CDC. It lists severe symptoms as wheezing and difficulty breathing.

“Kids with a history of asthma can be severely affected,” Loughead said.

From July to September, the number of asthma patients Central DuPage

Hospital admitted equaled more than 60 percent of the patients admitted for all of 2013, Loughead said. The cases were believed to be related to enterovirus D68, he said, noting a patient’s virus type is only identified in certain cases.

Juanita Gryfinski, health services department chair for St. Charles School District 303, said parents have been “very concerned” about enterovirus D68, but it has been eclipsed by the Ebola scare.

It’s important to know that preventative measures for enterovirus D68 are the same measures that should be taken to avoid other illnesses –

wash hands often and keep children home when they’re sick, Gryfinski said.

For children who are wheezing and don’t have a history of wheezing, Loughead said parents should take them to a pediatrician or the emergency room. Kids with a history of wheezing should be seen if they aren’t responding to their therapy, he said.

But, he said, the peak seemed to hit soon after the school year started. A lot of kids got sick and have now recovered, he said, so when another child at school gets sick, the virus affects fewer people and isn’t passed around as readily.

GENEVA

GENEVA – Dog grooming and training company Woofbeach will open a second location in Geneva.

Woofbeach Palms will be headed to 716 W. State St. in Geneva, the building has housed the Soup to Nuts

health food store, which is closing. Woofbeach also will maintain its location at 1840 Mill St., Batavia.

Company owners Eric and Christine Wilson of Elburn and Steve Holland of Batavia said they are expanding because of the success they have had in the Batavia location since they opened in

January 2012.

“Based on projections and growth, it made sense to look for another location,” Eric Wilson said. “We move in Nov. 1 and plan on a soft opening Dec. 15 after doing everything – painting, flooring and equipment for grooming and training.”

Village president appoints ex-trustee as interim clerk

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – The village of Campton Hills has an interim clerk, and he’s a familiar face to its residents.

Village President Patsy Smith on Sept. 16 appointed former village trustee John Strauss as the interim village clerk.

He served on the village board from 2008 until 2013, when he lost a re-election bid.

“It’s working now; John’s talking his job seriously,” Smith said during the regular village meeting on Tuesday. “I’ll take him for whatever meeting he’s available.”

The village was in need of a clerk after former clerk Juliette Paul resigned effective Sept. 9 because of her work commitments at the College of DuPage, Smith said. Paul was the village’s deputy clerk but was appointed to the higher position after the

20% OFF of a $25.00 purchase.

village’s first elected clerk, Carolyn Higgins, died March 30 at age 62 after more than a year battling cancer.

Strauss’ interim role involves signing warrants, minutes, ordinances and resolutions.

Since Strauss is not comfortable keeping minutes, the village has brought in a recording secretary and a court reporter when the secretary is not available, Smith said.

During the village meeting on Tuesday, Smith briefly discussed her appointment of Strauss and a possible interim deputy clerk position.

Strauss said he wasn’t sure if he was going to appoint an interim deputy clerk at this time but has taken a name under consideration.

The village clerk, village president and three trustee seats are up for re-election on April 7.

Can not combine with any other offer.

Kane County offices propose higher fees

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Getting married soon will cost more in Kane County.

The County Clerk’s Office – which handles such vital records as birth, marriage and death certificates – is proposing higher fees for certain services.

The sheriff’s and recorder’s offices also are seeking County Board approval for higher user fees.

The proposed charges are the result of a fee study conducted by Fiscal Choice Consulting in September. The study compared the actual cost of the services to the fees charged.

In the case of the clerk’s office, the study found the costs of several services were not being covered by user fees. Under the current structure, for example, county documents show the general fund portion of the user fee for marriage licenses is $22 when the cost to the county is $27.34.

Other services operating at a loss are birth certificates, marriage certificates and,

among others, death certificates, according to county documents. Proposed increases include $5 for marriage licenses and $4.40 for first copies of birth, marriage and death certificates.

County Clerk Jack Cunningham said at a committee meeting Thursday that the increases will place the financial burden on the users of these services instead of on property owners.

Recorder Sandy Wegman agreed.

“You have to use the office in order to be charged for it,” she said.

Assuming the County Board approves the new fees, the anticipated extra revenue would help reduce the budget gap for next year’s general fund, Executive Finance Director Joe Onzick has said.

County Board member Becky Gillam, R-West Dundee, asked if the county could put the fee study online so residents can better understand the reason for the increases.

Onzick said he would be happy to do that.

buy electricity from Prairie State. Geneva and Rochelle are other members.

Through its power sales agreement with NIMPA, Batavia is obligated to buy 45.8 percent, or about 55 megawatts, of the power generated by Prairie State.

Geneva is obligated to buy 29.2 percent (35 megawatts), and Rochelle is obligated to buy 25 percent (30 megawatts).

Earlier this year, state Rep. Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia, asked Madigan to investigate Prairie State Energy Campus. Schmitz had said the letter reflected his concern regarding cost overruns on the $5 billion project and the impact on participating communities that might have to pass the cost along to ratepayers.

BATAVIA – The language regarding a request to the Attorney General’s Office for an investigation of Prairie State Energy Campus has been drafted.

Batavia aldermen at Tuesday’s Joint Committee of the Whole meeting will review the language of the proposed resolution.

The resolution requests Attorney General Lisa Madigan to “conduct an investigation and audit of the Prairie State Project agreements and communities to determine whether the city of Batavia was given full and accurate information about the Prairie State Project before the time it entered into the agreements and wheth-

er any affirmative, material misrepresentations or material omissions were made in the presentation of information to the city of Batavia with respect to the Prairie State Project.”

Aldermen at a Joint Committee of the Whole meeting in September unanimously recommended the city should ask Madigan to conduct an investigation. The action follows on the heels of Batavia businessman Joe Marconi recently filing a class-action lawsuit in Kane County Circuit Court over the city’s investment in the downstate Prairie State Energy Campus.

In 2005, the Northern Illinois Municipal Power Agency, of which Batavia is a member, agreed to a long-term power contract to

Witness a flatworm phenomenon at Delnor Woods The great naturalist John Muir once wrote, “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.”

It’s a wonderful quote, and so very true. The thing is, especially in today’s society, we don’t take the time to “pick out” much. And when we do, we usually have no clue of all to which it is “hitched.”

Case in point: A few months ago in this space, we took a look at earthworms, a complex species many folks were surprised to learn is considered exotic, or not native to our area.

That column mentioned a few of the connections between worms and certain other nonnative species, such as buckthorn and garlic mustard, that ecologists have noted as the aliens have spread throughout the eastern United States.

As interesting as those examples are, they represent only what we have been able to discover through recent research. Millions of other connections exist, most of which – to us humans anyway – will remain hidden or, at best, poorly understood.

I was reminded of how little we really know just the other day, as I explored the wilds of Delnor Woods Park with a group of fourth-graders from Mrs. Carter’s class at Wasco school.

The day was cool and wet; the woods, quiet, save for the patter of light rain on the leaves above our heads. Most of the woodland wildlife was laying low that day, except for a couple of squirrels and about a gazillion earthworms – big ones, little ones and medium-sized ones strewn about the pavement like so many bits of wiggly spaghetti.

The students, parent volunteers and I picked our way along the trail, trying not to squish the wee beasties as we made our way to one field trip station and then another.

We were doing pretty well at staying on task – a major accomplishment given the number of appealing distractions that squirmed about our feet – when something odd caught my eye.

There on the wet path, looking very much like the

GOOD NATURED Pam Erickson Otto petiole, or stem, of a maple leaf, was a yellowish creature unlike anything any of us had seen before. Slimy and worm-like, it had a triangular-shaped head, and reminded me of the aquatic Planaria we used to study in biology.

But this critter was much larger than any Planaria species I remembered. And, despite being wet from the rain, it clearly was a land dweller.

Not wanting to veer too far from our plan for the day, we spent only a few minutes musing over the animal and its possible identity. We snapped a few pictures, then moved on – well, physically, anyway. Mentally, however, my brain was stuck on the weird, wriggly thing. What the heck was it?

It wasn’t until evening that I had time to do some serious Googling to try and track down the creature. I knew that identifying it to species was a pipe dream.

But maybe, with a little luck, I could determine at least its taxonomic family.

I typed the term “terrestrial planarian” into the search box and, bingo! A hit on the first try: Geoplanidae, the land planarians. I quickly learned that these flatworms, although they look fairly innocuous, actually are voracious predators of a wide variety of invertebrates.

A few more clicks and I found a genus, Bipalium, that contained some species that closely resembled the creature we’d found at Delnor Woods. One in particular, Bipalium adventitium, looked to me to be a very close match. Another bingo!

After making that connection, the information stream flowed fast and furious. I learned that B. adventitium is thought to be native to southeast Asia, and was introduced to this country accidentally – probably via the soil on the roots of imported plants – sometime in the last 70 years or so.

I also learned that B. adventitium, which also is

Photo provided

The bipalium adventitium, or hammerhead worm, is a predatory planarian with a preference for earthworms. The introduced species, native to Asia, recently was sighted at Delnor Woods in St. Charles. known by the common name hammerhead worm, preys heavily on earthworms. Aha! No wonder “our” creature was there on the wet, wormy path. It was visiting an allyou-can-eat buffet!

From there, things started to get complicated. I wanted to make the assumption that B. adventitium is a helpful addition, preying on nonnative worms that might be harming our native woodland ecosystems. But the flatworm is pretty ruthless, taking on virtually any and all earth-

worm species it encounters.

Those worms, exotics that they may be, serve as important components in the diets of many of our native wildlife species.

To top it off, B. adventitium consumes its prey in fashion worthy of a science fiction horror movie. The flatworm adheres itself to its earthworm prey, then secretes digestive enzymes that cause the prey to liquefy. It then consumes the meal via a pharynx that, wonder of wonders, is not anywhere near its

hammer-shaped head.

By now you’re probably thinking, “Gosh! I need to get to Delnor Woods right away, so I can witness this flatworm phenomenon firsthand.” If so, great! Pick a rainy day, and head for the east side of the park, along the asphalt path that heads north from the Wing Avenue parking lot. The individuals we found were near the interpretive sign that explains the importance of dead trees.

The flatworms aren’t huge – maybe 2 to 3 inches long – but their yellow color makes them fairly easy to pick out, especially if they’re on the blacktop. In fact, you may be tempted to do just that – pick one out.

But if you do, be careful.

You’ll soon realize, as we did, that it’s hitched to earthworms, invasive species, forest ecology, environmental health ... and everything else in the universe.

OUR VIEW

Senate Bill 16 not a fair solution to school funding An Illinois Senate bill that has made its way to the House could have a dramatic effect on school funding at the local level.

If it is approved by the full state legislature, Senate Bill 16 – also known as the School Funding Reform Act of 2014 – would result in many Kane County school districts losing millions of dollars in state distributions, while Chicago schools and some downstate and area schools would see increases in funding.

The numbers are truly significant in Kane County.

According to literature

provided by state Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, 73 percent of Kane County schools would lose about $31.5 million in funding, if Senate Bill 16 were successful.

More specifically in the Tri-Cities and surrounding area, St. Charles School District 303 would lose about $8 million in state distributions; Geneva School District 304 would lose about $3.9 million; Batavia School District 101 would lose about $4 million; and Kaneland School District 302 and Burlington Central School District 301 each would lose about $2.4 million.

How would these school districts make up the difference in funding?

Attempting to increase already high property taxes through referendum would be one option. But we’re not so sure homeowners would be willing to pay more in property taxes, given the still struggling economy.

And that could potentially mean drastic cuts to education in many of our local schools. Not an ideal option, either.

Senate Bill 16 simply is not the answer to school funding reform.

Although the bill was said

to be the result of findings from a bipartisan Senate committee formed in 2013 to study education funding in Illinois, the measure ultimately was drafted without any input from Republicans, McConnaughay said.

And while House sponsor Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, has said she isn’t planning to call the bill during the fall veto session, which starts after the Nov. 4 election, it’s still possible the measure could be called.

A more broad-based, nonrushed approach to the issue should be taken, where major stakeholders can be brought

to the table to discuss potential solutions. Although a perfect fix may not exist, we’re confident a better solution than Senate Bill 16 is out there, and we encourage Kane County homeowners to contact legislators across the state to demand that a more thoughtful approach to school funding be considered.

Democrats looking to reap additional school funding for Chicago schools need to know that the suburbs are engaged in this issue and that they want more equitable reform to education funding in Illinois.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A HIGH DEGREE OF INTEGRITY To the Editor: It is with great pleasure that the Elgin Association of Firefighters I.A.F.F. Local 439 recommends and endorses Willie Mayes for Kane County sheriff.

Willie has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility and ambition in his professional career. One look at his resume will tell you that he possesses the requisite law enforcement and management knowledge, skills and abilities to lead our county police force. It is, however, his ability to work outside the comfort zone of traditional law enforcement that makes him uniquely qualified to be our sheriff.

Willie has a demonstrated history of working closely with the firefighters, paramedics, hazardous materials technicians and fire investigators in Kane County. As leader of the bomb squad, he has facilitated training programs to ensure that all first responders work safely, effectively and cooperatively at emergency incidents.

The Kane County sheriff needs to be able to work with, and represent, a diverse group of stakeholders, including citizens, elected officials and public-safety professionals, as well as numerous local, state and federal agencies. We believe that Willie Mayes is the person that will best represent all of Kane County, and we give him our wholehearted endorsement.

A common-sense decision This isn’t a referendum on Jim Gaffney, this is a referendum on common sense. Why would someone with a medical emergency who lives across the street from Fox River fire be forced to wait for Elburn to come to the rescue? Having younger officers or being established less time doesn’t equate with experience. Both stations have equivalent training. The judge ruled on this. The residents will not lose their quality of service. It’s about public safety. Personal attacks have no merit when it comes to a common-sense decision.

Not a good idea Cheap apartment housing does not constitute a “neighborhood.”

Why this neighborhood organization would advocate for this type of housing, which would also cause more traffic woes on Kirk Road, overpopulate the schools, jack up the taxes, as well as lower the quality of life in our town, is literally beyond me. While I’m not completely pro-warehouse, the city should look into rezoning that land for retail purposes or, if not, the warehouses. Building cheap housing there would only diminish the high quality of living in our town and our schools. Keep the warehouses, or zone it for retail to keep taxpayers and the citizens of Batavia happy.

Batavia quarterback Kyle Niemiec (19) runs the ball Friday during the Bulldogs’ 40-7 victory over Streamwood in Batavia.

Batavia cements outright River title Bulldogs hammer Streamwood to close regular season at 8-1

By JARED BIRCHFIELD editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The Batavia football team ended its regular season with an exclamation point Friday night.

By beating Streamwood, 407, the Bulldogs clinched their fourth straight Upstate Eight Conference River title outright, again in unbeaten fashion. The defending IHSA Class 6A state champion Bulldogs (81, 7-0 UEC River) will head into the playoffs on an eight-game winning streak after dropping their season opener to Oswego.

Batavia’s stingy defense frustrated the Sabres all night long.

While Streamwood quarterback Max Draper completed 26 of his 48 passing attempts for 257 yards, his squad only scored one touchdown and entered the red zone twice.

The Bulldogs intercepted three of Draper’s passes, with two of them setting up Batavia scores. The defense also foiled four fourth-down conversion attempts.

Streamwood (3-6, 3-4 UEC River) did not score until late in the fourth quarter.

Draper connected with Cody Jayko on a 7-yard scoring play.

Batavia employed a balanced attack on offense – gaining 210 yards on the ground and 191 yards through the air.

Quarterbacking duties were split among Kyle Niemiec, Evan Acosta and Greg Drake.

Niemiec was 7 for 12 for 79 yards with no interceptions, while Acosta completed 8 of 12 for 87 yards and also had no picks.

The Bulldogs scored three rushing touchdowns to take a 21-0 lead after the first quarter.

Noah Frazier had the first score on an 8-yard run. Zach Garrett scored the next two touchdowns on runs of 10 and

Acosta scored the team’s final touchdown on the night in the third quarter on a 7-yard keeper.

The Bulldogs will gather to learn their playoff path tonight.

“This is our fourth year in a row as conference champs and the team is very proud of that fact,” Batavia coach Dennis Piron said. “A lot people coming into the season were wondering if we would be able to be any good at all. The players proved that hard work, determination and everyone going in the same direction can mean an awful lot.”

Charles North (82) and Batavia (105). The Vikings yielded 301 points in 10 games last season.

“Well, I mean, it’s incredible, really,” McCloughan said.

“Just the transition from last year to this year, we’ve really just been a powerhouse, this team.”

Larkin (0-9, 0-7) played just six seniors – contrasted with the 40 listed on Geneva’s roster.

In many respects, first-year Royals coach Dragan Teonic, only hired in June, derives perspective from Wicinski, who recovered from his own humble beginnings in the late 1990s and early 2000s to cultivate a solid program.

“Rob was 0-9, 1-8, 2-7, 2-7,” Teonic said, impeccably rattling off Wicinski’s first four season recaps without an almanac. “Today’s day and age,

you’re gone. They stuck with him. The next year, they’re 5-4. The next year, they’re [in a state semifinal].”

Geneva visited the end zone on each of its first five possessions, collecting scoring drives of 41, 80, 80, 41 and 50 yards. Two drives lasted seven plays, with the rest falling short. The longest in duration took just 2:34 off the clock.

A veteran offensive line created ample room for the insert-senior-here backfield of Liam Burns, Justin Nebel and Parker Woodworth, who each rushed for touchdowns as they spelled Taormina on senior night. Woodworth scored twice, from 2 and 3 yards out.

Nebel paced the group with 105 yards on 11 carries.

“Just keep pushing. Don’t give up. Just keep going strong,” Vikings senior left tackle Ben Baker said.

Larkin moved the ball early in spots, drawing the Vikings in with minimal rushes up the gut before sneaking long gains over the top. Sophomore quar-

terback David Hibbler proved especially effective on play-action, connecting with junior wideout A.J. Hunter for a 38yard gain on Larkin’s second possession that set the team up on the Vikings 22.

That drive ended with running back Cameron Tomlin’s fumble into the end zone, which Geneva’s Jason Croci recovered for a touchback.

The Royals fumbled again two possessions later. Hibbler suffered a broken collarbone during the drive and left the game.

Sean Chambers relieved quarterback Daniel Santacaterina in the second quarter as Geneva rested several starters en route to a 35-0 halftime lead.

The Vikings recovered from last week’s loss at Batavia, and look forward to a clean slate in the postseason.

“We knew that we needed to get back to our fundamentals,” Taormina said. “We worked on it all week. And I feel like we established that tonight.”

GENEVA – Geneva triggered the running clock with 9:48 remaining in the third quarter of Friday’s Upstate Eight Conference River Division football game against Larkin.

A few minutes of real time – and clock time – later, Vikings junior defensive lineman Collin Lee recovered a blooping Vikings kickoff. It wasn’t Geneva gloating, as the kick wasn’t onside. Just the kind of play that again illustrated the breeziness of the regular-season finale.

Geneva’s 42-6 victory against Larkin capped a 4-0 regular-season home stretch in which the Vikings won by an average of just under 30 points at Burgess Field. A 22-19 Week 2 victory against Richards was the outlier in that lopsided equation, but by then, the Vikings (8-1, 6-1 UEC River) felt confident their season was destined to extend past Week 9.

“We’re ready to work, ready to work hard,” junior running back Justin Taormina said. “I think we’re confident. I think we’re ready for this first-round playoff game.”

A limited supply of Vikings playoff T-shirts, ranging in size from S to 4XL, sold for $10 on Friday. The Vikings are all but a cinch to host a first-round game, likely in Class 7A, next weekend, when more shirts are promised to be available.

Geneva opened the 2013 playoffs at home and ended there, as well, with St. Patrick defeating the Vikings, 31-23.

The loss provided an impetus for change on defense.

Geneva coach Rob Wicinski knew he needed more athletes on that side of the ball, so Jack McCloughan and Brock Perry switched from offense to defensive end and safety, respectively, adding to a veteran core.

Entering Friday, the Vikings’ 118 points allowed were the third-stingiest in the conference, trailing only St.

Vikings ‘just keep pushing’ in latest home rout

Marmion falls in regular-season finale

By KEVIN BEESE editorial@kcchronicle.com LOMBARD – A host of penalties and two interceptions doomed the Marmion football team’s bid to grab a share of the conference crown Friday night.

That honor went to Montini, which beat the Cadets, 27-14, on senior night at Montini’s John Duffy Memorial Stadium in Lombard.

Montini (6-3, 3-1) will share the Chicago Catholic League Green title with the winner of today’s Fenwick-St. Francis game.

No penalty was bigger than an illegal man downfield call after the Cadets had gotten a first down on a third-and-6 play at the Montini 30-yard line midway through the third quarter and trailing, 21-7.

“You can’t play a good team like Montini and have penalties and lose the turnover battle,” Marmion coach Dan Thorpe said.

Marmion came out run-

ning, taking the opening kickoff and marching 85 yards – all rushing plays – for a score. The key play in the drive was a 37-yard run through the left side by senior Jordan Glasgow.

However, Marmion would not score again until 5:54 to go in the game.

Thorpe said the coaching staff needs to take some of the blame for the Cadets not having any offensive rhythm after that first drive. He said there are corrections to be made before the playoffs start.

“We lost here in 2010 and [advanced to the 6A state championship game],” Thorpe said.

with 27 seconds left in the first half to keep the Broncos up, 21-7.

West also recovered an onside kick late in the contest, one of two that Marmion tried in the game.

“He’s a tough player for Dan Thorpe our team and he is only a Marmion football coach sophomore,” Montini coach Chris Andriano. “He has a sixth sense out there.”

East dominates clock, W. Chicago

By DEREK WOLFF editorial@kcchronicle.com WEST CHICAGO – The St. Charles East football team sent its seniors out in style, cruising to a 36-14 win over West Chicago in its season finale.

The Saints (4-5, 4-3 UEC River) dominated the time of possession, giving the Wildcats (3-6, 2-5 UEC River) just three possessions in the first half. One of those was an 18-second, three-and-out drive with less than a minute to go at the end of the second quarter.

East relied on sophomore quarterback Zach Mitchell, who threw for 207 yards and one touchdown.

But it was Mitchell’s legs that impressed on the evening, as the quarterback carried the ball six times for 78 yards, capped by a 38-yard touchdown rush in the third quarter.

Saints coach Bryce Farquhar was impressed with his defense on the night, which held West Chicago scoreless until the fourth quarter when backup units were in.

The offense also was able to extend drives on crucial third and fourth downs.

“We really came up big on our third and fourth down situations tonight,” Farquhar said. “The biggest thing is we created a little protection and some room for Zach, and I thought he did a really nice job converting those downs and using his feet.”

But while East may have found its quarterback of the future, the night belonged to the senior class.

“Tonight was really about our seniors, getting them out there and letting them play football,” Faquhar said.

“You only get so many years to play football. I couldn’t be more proud of those guys and what they did.”

Mitchell said it was a good feeling to send the seniors out on top.

“It feels great,” Mitchell said. “It was an emotional game and it was good to get a

final win for the seniors.”

Mitchell was replaced in the fourth quarter by senior Nick Sciarrino, who completed a 13-yard touchdown pass to running back Cameron Canales.

“I expected to play receiver tonight, but it was really cool,” Sciarrino said. “I appreciated (the opportunity) a lot.”

Senior wideout Morgan Flanigan had four receptions for 120 yards on the night and said the chemistry he and Mitchell had came down to hard work in practice.

“The way he throws it, it’s a perfect ball and I can connect with that,” Flanigan said. “When we throw, even if it’s a broken play like you saw tonight we’ll find a way to connect and we’ll be able to make a big gain out of it.”

Flanigan said the season’s end came quickly but the final game would be a great memory.

“A lot of us are a little shell shocked. I think a lot of us are a little bit in shock and a little in denial and it has hit us hard, but it’s been a great career.”

ACC took command literally from the opening kick, as Babler returned it 83 yards for a Chargers touchdown.

ACC scored on each of its first three possessions to zoom to a 21-0 lead by the 3:56 mark of the first quarter. A pair of Rahn touchdown passes – a 28-yarder on fourth-and-3 to Babler and a 32-yard strike to Colin Baillie – highlighted the Chargers’ early ambush.

Wheaton Academy answered in the closing seconds of the opening quarter as re-

your news.

ceiver Sam Martinez nimbly stayed inbounds to haul in QB David Thrasher’s fourthand-10 touchdown pass from 15 yards out, a sorely needed momentum-shifter for the Warriors.

Wheaton Academy drew within 21-14 on Camden Meade’s 1-yard plunge in the second quarter, but the Chargers restored their control when, on fourth down from Wheaton Academy’s 1-yard line with 1 second before halftime, Rahn burrowed in on a QB sneak, pushing the Chargers to a 2814 halftime advantage.

With his team now on the playoff bubble, Meade said the Warriors are “hoping to get another shot next week to correct our mistakes.”

“We got some momentum in the second quarter and started getting it going,” Meade said. “We made too many mistakes, that’s what it came down to. Lack of execution and too many mistakes. I know I had a fumble, the line missed a few blocks, receivers dropped

a few balls. Just too many mistakes to win the game tonight.”

Thrasher aired it out often for the deficit-chasing Warriors, completing 21 of 40 passes for 241 yards and three TDs, with Martinez and Marino Costello accounting for most of the receiving production.

Casey said the Chargers had “no shot” to make the playoffs if they had lost based

on their lukewarm playoff points, determined by opponents’ victories.

Now that’s moot.

The Chargers nailed down their third straight playoff berth after an extended drought from 1998 to 2011.

Wheaton Academy last made the playoffs in 2009 and missed the postseason with a 5-4 mark in 2010.

WEST CHICAGO – With its season on the line, the Aurora Central Catholic football team’s most explosive player rose to the occasion.

Do-it-all senior Brandon Babler scored four touchdowns – including a kick return and a punt return – and the Chargers prevailed in their crucial regular-season finale Friday, beating Wheaton Academy, 49-28.

Babler said ACC coach Brian Casey expressed confidence the Chargers could exploit the Warriors’ special teams coverage.

“He called it all week,” Babler said. “He kept telling me, ‘We’re going to score a punt return, we’re going to score a punt return.’ I don’t think he planned on the kick return, but we got that in there, too.”

Babler also hauled in TD grabs of 28 and 46 yards from lefty quarterback Matt Rahn as ACC (6-3, 2-3 Metro Suburban West) snared its precious sixth win and left Wheaton Academy (5-4, 1-4) in limbo.

Casey was effusive in his praise for the elusive Babler, who deftly spun free from trouble at the start of his third quarter punt return.

“Hey, I’ve got news for you, I have no problem telling you that he’s the area player of the year,” Casey said. “Batavia’s got a great team, Geneva’s got a great team, but at the end of the day, you take Brandon Babler off this football team, and I’ll let you figure out where we’re at.”

Rahn, of Maple Park, was efficient in stinging Wheaton Academy on play action, completing 9 of 10 passes for 168 yards.

“It was great tonight because we were able to combine run and pass … we were able to run the ball tonight, albeit unconventional at times, but when we can run the ball and

IHSA GIRLS TENNIS STATE MEET – DAY 2

Kaneland duo preps for next date with Dolphins

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Kaneland’s contingent of girls tennis state tournament athletes and coaches dined Friday at Maggiano’s in Schaumburg’s Woodfield Mall.

Surely, senior doubles partners Jelly Emmanouil and Madi Jurcenko discussed yet another breakfast with Sloane Williams and Kendall Scruggs of Whitney Young.

Emmanouil and Jurcenko will face that Dolphins duo in a consolation quarterfinal at Rolling Meadows this morning, marking the third straight day and second match in which the teams have competed.

Considering Williams and Scruggs’ testiness about line calls from earlier in the tournament, there’s no wonder this new rivalry quickly has become a conversation piece.

“Right back at it with those two,” Knights coach Tim Larsen said. “I wouldn’t say that those are our favorite two players in the tournament.”

Emmanouil and Jurcenko opened play Friday by completing a 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-1 victory against Williams and Scruggs at Rolling Meadows in the third round of championship bracket play. The match started Thursday at Hoffman Estates but ultimately was suspended by darkness.

The Dolphins’ contentiousness over disputed line calls helped slow the proceedings then, but Larsen said neither he nor his players foresee that continuing today after IHSA officials intervened Friday.

“None of that stuff happened at all,” Larsen said. “It was all about tennis.”

After Kaneland recovered to defeat Alexis McCarthy and Kylie McCarthy of downstate

Troy Triad, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals, Emmanouil and Jurcenko saw their run through the championship draw end.

Stevenson’s Vinaya Rao and Katherine Harvey rolled, 6-1, 6-0, behind thundering volleys Larsen described as “another level of tennis.”

Similarly powerful shots conspired to subdue Geneva senior Kirby Einck in the championship singles draw.

Einck, a four-year state qualifier, started the day with a humbling loss to Lyons’ Meg Kowalski, a longtime training partner at Hinsdale Racquet Club.

“She’s a really great person.

She’s an extraordinary tennis player. She had an on day,” said Einck, a recent West Point commit. “So I really can’t be too upset about that one.”

Einck’s season ultimately ended with a 6-3, 6-2 loss to Hin-

sdale Central’s Sophia Haleas in a seventh-round consolation match. That came on the heels of the final win of Einck’s decorated career, a 6-4, 6-2 victory against Bloomington Central Catholic’s Madison Tattoni.

As the day progressed, Einck noticed Kaneland senior singles player Sammie Schrepferman and a handful of St. Charles North athletes offering support. The image stuck with her as she traveled home, reflecting on her season and career.

“It’s just good to see that even though we compete against each other in the regular season, when it gets to that bigger stage, we do have each others’ backs,” Einck said.

“We watch and we hope the best for each other.”

Schrepferman, who lost to Einck in last week’s St. Charles East Sectional championship match, bowed out after a 3-2

tournament finish. She opened the day with a 6-1, 6-1 rout of South Elgin’s Lisa Derowski before Tattini earned a 6-0, 6-4 win in a fifth-round consolation match.

North’s No. 1 doubles tandem of Morgan Rerko and Brittany Rohrsen resumed their third-round consolation match against Morris’ Leah Lines and Monica Davy around 7:30 a.m. Friday.

Darkness engulfed the match Thursday, but Rerko and Rohrsen were unable to sustain momentum long once morning broke, with Morris completing a 6-1, 7-5 victory.

Rerko and Rohrsen recovered to take a 5-4 lead in the second set after falling behind, 4-1.

“The girls from Morris, they were a nice team, and we almost had them in the second set,” North Stars coach Eve Tubman said. “They just kind of came back a little stronger.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Burlington Central routs R. Christian, clinches playoff spot KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE ROCKFORD – Playing without quarterback Adam Skirmont and rotating players liberally, the Burlington Central football team cruised past Rockford Christian, 55-12, on Friday to clinch a playoff spot in the regular-season finale.

BC (6-3, 6-1 Big Northern Conference East) looks to get Skirmont back from injury when the playoffs open next week. He was hurt in last week’s loss to Johnsburg. The Rockets otherwise rolled.

“We were able to do the majority of things we wanted to offensively,” Central coach Rich Crabel said. “Defensively, we fell down on two receptions that cost us scores.

I thought our running backs did a nice job tonight, and we stayed relatively vanilla with our offense. Just worked on the basics.”

Rockford Christian finished the season 0-9.

The Rockets appear to be a safe bet for the Class 5A draw, although Crabel said, “I don’t think we’ll be in a good enough

spot to have a home game” in the first round.

He and his staff will monitor other results of today’s pertinent games before the pairings are announced beginning at 8 p.m.

“There’s still so many games for us that will determine whether or not we can move up a spot or two,” Crabel said.

St. Charles North 41, Elgin 12: At Elgin, North (7-2, 5-2 Upstate Eight Conference River Division) improved its playoff seeding with a comfortable win. The North Stars are in the postseason for the first time since 2009, and earned at least seven regular-season wins for the fourth time since the program began varsity play in 2001.

Aurora Christian 49, Leo 35:

Maple Park, Kaneland (4-5) closed the season with a second successive blowout in a Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover.

For the first time since 1994, the rival Knights and Hubs met with neither team in the midst of a playoff season.

That didn’t keep both sides from channeling memories of past meetings. Eighth-year Knights coach Tom Fedderly felt the 2006 game – played in his last season as an assistant to Joe Thorgesen – stood especially tall.

That made sense for an offensive guru the likes of Fedderly. Kaneland won, 54-51, in Week 3 en route to a Class 5A semifinal.

“The one that always sticks out to me is the one where Boone [Thorgesen] and Casey [Crosby], that 2006 team, we scored every single time in that first half and we were still losing,” Fedderly said. “It was like, 44-40, at halftime. That one will always stick out to me as a memory.”

At Aurora, Aurora Christian snapped a four-game losing streak to become playoff-eligible. The Eagles (4-5, 2-2 Chicago Catholic White) opened the season 4-0, but faced a must-win situation in the regular-season finale.

BOYS SOCCER Kaneland 33, Rochelle 6: At Class 2A St. Francis Regional

final – Wheaton Academy 8, Fen- ban West play Sept. 30, but ton 3: At Wheaton, Wheaton Warriors coach Jeff Brooke Academy won comfortably for its sixth straight victory.

The Warriors (20-1-1) advanced to Tuesday’s Hampshire Sectional semifinal against Kaneland.

Wheaton Academy blanked Fenton, 4-0, in Metro Subur-

cautioned his team not to overlook the Bison or the strides they’ve made in the past three weeks.

“They had some chances in the second half then where they proved to be dangerous,” Brooke said.

Thorbjornsen leads Kaneland into sectionals

Scoreboard

editorial@kcchronicle.com BURLINGTON – Midway through the second half of the IHSA Class 2A Burlington Regional championship soccer match, there still was no score between Kaneland and Hampshire.

Carl Thorbjornsen, a 16-year-old Carl Norwegian Thorbjornsen exchange student, changed that by sending a pass across the goal box right onto the foot of Andres Tovar, who kicked it home to break the tie. The Knights never looked back, and dominated Hampshire for the remainder of the half Friday to claim a 2-0 victory and the regional crown.

“It was all instincts,” Thorbjornsen said. “I kind of knew exactly what I was going to do because I saw where the defenders were. It was a lot of what I used to do in Norway.

Dribbling a lot and just playing soccer.”

Tovar’s goal gave the Knights a 1-0 lead and gave them all the momentum they

would need to finish out the game.

“It was huge,” Knights coach Scott Parillo said. “And I had told them at halftime that we really needed to start finishing out our chances, and it happened.”

Thorbjornsen added an insurance goal 10 minutes later to seal the victory for Kaneland.

“He’s pretty good,” Parillo said of Thorbjornsen. “We’ve graduated 28 players in the past two years, so to have young talent waiting in the wings is huge.”

Hampshire gave Kaneland a tough go of it and didn’t stop pushing even after it was down.

The Knights controlled the ball for most of the remaining time after they took the lead, but Hampshire never quit battling.

“It all goes back to the old saying of ‘We have to score more than them,’ ” Hampshire

coach John Gosling said. “I don’t know what the shots were, but we struggled in the second half. We’ve struggled a lot this year, and I don’t think many people thought we would be here. We’ve battled back from deficits this year, but today we didn’t do it.

IHSA CLASS 3A ST. CHARLES EAST BOYS SOCCER REGIONAL: WEST CHICAGO 1, STC EAST 0

Last Saturday was a banner day in the Hillman household, as Batavia girls cross country coach Chad Hillman celebrated the Bulldogs’ Upstate Eight Conference River championship while his wife, Rotolo Middle School cross country coach Kate Hillman, basked in the aftermath of her eighth grade girls’ state title. In this week’s Weekend Chit-chat, Chad Hillman spoke with Kane County Chronicle sports editor Jay Schwab about the memorable weekend and today’s IHSA Class 3A West Chicago Regional. The following is an edited transcript:

Did you guys meet through cross country in any way, shape or form?

Well, that’s an interesting story, actually. She student taught at Batavia High School when I was already a teacher there and she competed at Elmhurst College, and I competed at North Central College in cross country and track.

In track her last year at Elmhurst, she actually was coached by my college roommate (Greg Huffaker).

He was in his first year of coaching. It’s kind of an interesting story that way I guess, so when she told him she was going to be student teaching at Batavia, he said ‘No way, one of my best friends teaches over there so let him know if you’re interested in helping out coaching.’

Weekend Chit-chat with BATAVIA CROSS COUNTRY’S CHAD HILLMAN pushed aside and nothing really happened with it, so I was basically walking through PE classes watching other sports and kind of picking out kids like, ‘You look like you can run, you should try cross country,’ and they didn’t really know what it was. … I obviously know quite a bit about these kids now by the time we get them.

In terms of performances from your team last weekend, what popped out at you?

We won a close race like that so everyone is clearly important but we have a freshman (Anna Malay) who was not even in the top 10 in the middle school program last year who was our third girl in the conference meet last Saturday. [Rotolo]

had a second place state meet at middle school last year as an eighth-grader and she wasn’t on the top 10 roster for state, and now to see what she has done this year … is just an unbelievable thing.

What’s the outlook for you guys this weekend at regionals?

Just to take the next step really. Our regional always has been one of the tougher ones. Naperville North and Naperville Central are No. 4 and No. 6 ranked teams in the state. We’re just trying to help our team understand we’re the No. 7 ranked team in the stats so we’re not going to hand anything over. … We feel like we’re taking steps where we belong with those teams.

Do you and Kate run together now and again?

I wish we had time. She’s a music teacher, too, which is almost like coaching a sport in itself with all the extra time, not to mention coaching itself, not to mention we have a couple young kids, so by the time the day is done, unfortunately, we haven’t made time for anything like that.

Which one of you guys was outwardly basking in the aftermath of Saturday more?

I think probably her.

I mean, not that I wasn’t thrilled with what we did, but [Rotolo’s title] was a big deal. She built that program basically in ’07. She was the one that got it going. It was club for a year and I believe in the second year turned it into an actual sport down there, so basically being one to see it start to what it is now, I think added a little bit to how special it was.

Is it cool to have some extra intel [from Kate] on the runners coming up to the high school?

WEEKEND LIFE Trick or treat? Feeding the need to read on Halloween “Yes! Awesome idea! Why didn’t I think about that?” I said, as I “liked” my friend’s comment on my Facebook post. I’d solicited ideas about where to buy non-GMO, non-corn-syrupy candy to pass out to our trick-or-treaters on Halloween, and Natalie suggested passing out pennies, instead. Rich recommended little bottles of organic maple syrup, and Jen suggested Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops (Trader Joe’s has ’em. They really are yummy). But then Greta posted a winner: coupons for free books from the Batavia Public Library. Yay! An inspired idea! I could have kissed her.

All Hallow’s Read, a celebration begun by author Neil Gaiman (author of “American Gods” and “Coraline”) in a 2010 blog post, was embraced by the Friends of the Batavia Public Library three years ago. Since then, they’ve celebrated All Hallow’s Read by selling coupons for free books, sold in a sheet of 10 for $2.50. Coupon bearers may redeem them for free paperbacks from the Friends’ monthly Saturday book sales (the next one happens at the Batavia library Nov. 1), or they can select a book from the Friends Book Corner on the upper level of the library, any day of the week. Coupon books will be sold at the check-out desk every day in October. Coupons may be redeemed immediately, and are good through next year (Oct. 1).

I cheered again. Problem solved.

My 13-year-old called from the next room. She wanted to know what all of the excitement was about. She wasn’t

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose pleased. She doesn’t recall getting one of these wonderful coupons from Greta, herself, a few Halloweens ago, and it’s my fault. It settled at the bottom of my purse, along with my good intentions.

I still have the pieces. Mom “hall of fame” material, here.

“Dad, she’s thinking about giving out book coupons for Halloween,” Holly called out, to her father, downstairs.

“Well, it’s a good idea … ,” he began, his voice trailing off.

“What he MEANT to say is,” Holly interjected, “‘We’re gonna be the talk of the town. Just buy candy like everyone else.’”

Then she poked her head into my room.

“Think back to when you were 15.”

Oh my. She’s 13, but OK. “What would you want?”

I smiled. She winced.

“You know how I still talk about that house?” she said, “Where they gave out pencils? Books are worse. I’m not gonna say I live here,” she added.

Oh, criminy.

I love books. One of my fondest childhood memories is of visiting the bookmobile during the summer with my paternal grandfather in rural way-upstate New York, where he lived.

If not for knowing not even the first thing about bus maintenance, I’d drive a bookmobile. Perhaps, someday, I will.

I’m buying the coupons.

When I asked Noah how to pronounce Gaiman’s name, he volunteered that “The Graveyard Book,” the Newberry Award-winning children’s fantasy novel written by Gaiman, is one of his favorite books. Set primarily in a graveyard, the book tells the story of an orphan boy who is adopted and raised by ghosts in a graveyard. Perfect for Halloween. Probably because he wanted to put off going to bed, Noah offered to fetch it for me from a box in the garage.

While he did, I researched Gaiman’s All Hallow’s Read celebration and stumbled across The Guardian’s reprint of his 2013 lecture for the Reading Agency (readingagency.org. uk), in London, titled “Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming.”

Among his many salient points, Gaiman says that reading fiction builds empathy.

“When you watch TV or see a film, you are looking at things happening to other people. Prose fiction is something you build up from 26 letters and a handful of punctuation marks, and you (the reader), and you alone, using your imagination, create a world and people it and look out through other eyes. You get to feel things, visit places and worlds you would never otherwise know. You learn that everyone else out there is a me, as well. You’re being

someone else, and when you return to your own world, you’re going to be slightly changed. Empathy is a tool for building people into groups, for allowing us to function as more than self-obsessed individuals. You’re also finding out something as you read (that is) vitally important for making your way in the world. And it’s this: The world doesn’t have to be like this.

Things can be different.”

Ah, that last point! Reading matters. Books truly can make a difference in the life of a child.

I’m SO getting the coupons.

They’re cheap – a bargain, at 25 cents apiece! That’s a 50 percent savings on the Friends’ regular paperback price.

Maybe we’ll give out healthier candy (I found other options at Fruitful Yield, too) AND book coupons, this Halloween. I’m not a total kill-joy.

Or maybe we’ll let the kids choose.

It’s fine if there are coupons left over. Instead of eating leftover chocolate made with nasty ingredients (I’ll undoubtedly find plenty of Butterfingers in Holly’s own Halloween haul, after all – you know, if she’s not too ticked-off to share), I’ll get a headstart on my own book collection. You know, for my bookmobile.

According to his lecture, Gaiman also has a daughter named Holly – who glares at him, sometimes, too. I guess I’m in good company.

• Jennifer DuBose lives with her family in Batavia.

Fall laziness pays off in the perennial bed With Halloween on the way, there are promises of spooks and frights to make us jump, but none scarier to gardeners than the first frost and (eek!) the first snowfall.

This deadline looms, making us run around trying to accomplish every task from harvesting the last bits of the vegetable garden to battling the onslaught of leaves.

Thankfully, there is one part of the yard you can turn a blind eye to – the perennial flower bed.

Steer clear of the perennial bed when attacking the carpet of leaves in the yard. A layer of fall leaves gives the bed an insulating blanket, preventing it from waking too soon in spring and subjecting the plants to harsh changes in weather too early. The dead branches of flowers

LEARNING TO GROW Jim Stendler act as a net, trapping the leaves and keeping them in place and creating insulating pockets of air. My mums survive year after year thanks to the pile of leaves trapped in their stems.

Further, during winter dry spells, the leaves trap moisture, helping the roots keep the dormant plant going.

While it is best to clear out vegetable and annual beds in the fall to discourage harmful insects and diseases, the opposite is true of the perennial bed. What appears to us as a pile of branches is actually a home to beneficial insects and

birds. Dried seed pods can also be a source of food for hungry birds, if not a great perch for them to survey the winter landscape. Leaving perennials until spring mimics nature, allowing them to draw the last of the sun until they finally decide to sleep.

In return, we can all enjoy the interest branches, berries and pods create in a blanket of white snow.

All of this, and we can get in the house that much sooner in these days of cooler temps and diminishing sunlight.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I have known “Justin” for 10 years. I’m very interested in him. I’m sure he knows it, but we have never talked about it. Once in a blue moon we “hook up,” and I’m usually the one to set the date up.

We’re friends on social media, but weeks – even months – can pass without our speaking to each other. Justin and I have no mutual friends, so I can’t “accidentally” bump into him at gatherings or anything like that.

I honestly don’t mind hooking up with him because he’s the only one I do that with. But it does hurt when I don’t hear from him afterward. What should I do? It’s obvious I’m head over heels for him – he can’t be that blind! – Plain Jane In Stockton, California Dear Jane: If Justin was interested in more than an occasional hookup, he’d be the one calling you, and it wouldn’t be once in

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips a blue moon. Ten years is long enough to chase an emotionally unavailable man. If this was meant to be, it would have already happened, and you’d be more than friends on social media.

Dear Abby: I’ll be 30 soon. My friends and I have drifted apart because we’re all in different stages of our lives. Some of us still frequent the bar scene, others have gotten married or dropped off the radar. My closest friend is so wrapped up in “mommy blogs” and all things “baby” that she’s no longer able to discuss much else.

I don’t have children, and I’m tired of going to bars. I’m in a

happy, committed relationship, but neither of us wants to focus on marriage for a few years. How do people connect with others at this stage of the game? – Friendless In New Jersey Dear Friendless: One way is to expand your interests. You and your boyfriend should join groups and meet people with whom you’ll have some things in common. If you’re interested in politics, the next two years should give you plenty of opportunity to meet new people. Volunteering is another way to expand your circle of acquaintances. While you won’t make dear friends overnight – friendships usually take a while to grow – the more people you meet, the greater your chances will be of developing meaningful relationships.

Proper hygiene protects against urinary infections Dear Doctor K: I think my 4-year-old daughter may have a urinary tract infection. How will it be treated? And what can I do to make sure she doesn’t get another one?

Dear Reader: A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria infect urine in the kidneys, bladder or urethra, a small tube that connects the bladder to the outside.

In girls (and women), the urethra is located in front of the vagina. The opening of the urethra is also near the rectum.

The large intestine (the colon and rectum) are filled with bacteria.

During bowel movements, those bacteria start living on the skin around the rectum and near the urethra. If those bacteria get into the urethra, they can move up into the bladder. From there, they can move into the kidneys.

This is what causes a UTI. Some girls and women have a tendency to get repeated UTIs. One reason is that some women inherit a tendency to have bacteria stick more easily to the cells of their urinary tract.

UTIs can cause fever, pain with urination, back pain and stomach pain. Repeated UTIs over months and years can cause kidney damage, particularly if

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff they are not treated promptly.

To check for a UTI, your daughter’s doctor will take her temperature because UTIs often cause fever. The doctor will also examine her. A UTI can cause tenderness in the lower part of the belly (where the bladder is) or in the lower back (where the kidneys are). He or she will also test your child’s urine for infection.

If your daughter does have a UTI, the doctor will prescribe an antibiotic. Make sure your daughter takes her antibiotic exactly as directed. She should finish the entire course of antibiotics, even if she starts to feel much better after the first several pills. If the antibiotic is stopped too soon, the UTI can return.

Over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) may help relieve pain and fever.

(Never give a child aspirin or any products containing aspirin.)

Drinking lots of liquids will help clear the infection and prevent dehydration – when children develop high fevers,

the sweating can cause serious dehydration. Applying a heating pad or warm compress to your daughter’s belly or lower back may help relieve discomfort.

UTIs are painful and uncomfortable. To prevent another one: • Make sure your daughter drinks enough fluids and urinates regularly.

• Avoid bubble baths and strong soaps that could irritate the genital area. This is especially true before puberty.

• Teach your daughter to wipe herself only from front to back, especially after bowel movements. Wiping from back to front moves bacteria to the skin around the opening of the urethra.

• Have your daughter wear cotton underwear, not nylon or other fabrics. Cotton allows air to circulate more freely, which helps prevent bacteria from growing.

There is no perfect protection against getting urinary tract infections, but these measures will help reduce the risk.

Mother despises daughter’s boyfriend for religious beliefs Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and dating a guy who is 19. Rick is a sweet guy and I like him very much. He’s a perfect gentleman. We have a great time when we’re together. We have never had sex and we don’t plan to.

Our family is Jewish and he’s Catholic. My stepmother despises him because of this and said if I didn’t stop seeing Rick, she would have him arrested for statutory rape. Is this possible? I can prove I’m a virgin. – Nameless, Miami Beach, Florida Dear Nameless: Statutory rape is an adult’s consensual sex with a minor. Since you haven’t had sex with your boyfriend, he can’t possibly be convicted. If your stepmother disapproves of him so vehemently, she could simply forbid you to see him, though I would rather recommend spiritual counseling for the family. Wild threats about the law are a step in the wrong direction.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 19-year-old young woman who has gone through a lot for my age.

I have a messy past that included drugs, alcohol and sex. I have been drug- and alcohol-free for two years and I have been a much happier person. I also decided to refrain from sex because of the problems and responsibility that go along with it.

For the past year I have been steadily dating a 22-year-old guy.

Lately, he has really been putting pressure on me to have sex. He keeps telling me that if I don’t have sex with him that he will find a girl who will. I love him very much and he says he

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace loves me. What should I do? – Nameless, Reno, Nevada Dear Nameless: You feel good about yourself because you have totally eliminated your messy past. Don’t for a minute regress!

I’m always suspicious of the true intentions of guys who threaten to go elsewhere if their sexual demands are denied.

Tell your boyfriend that your final answer is no. If he leaves, then he didn’t love you as much as you thought he did.

Dr. Wallace: My parents are divorced and my 5-year-old brother and I (age 12) live with our grandparents. I love them, but they do some odd things.

I take a shower every evening and my brother showers three times weekly. Whenever my brother showers, our grandmother puts him in the shower with me. I don’t like this. It makes me feel funny. Grandma says that this saves water.

Please tell her there are better ways to save water. – Nameless, Sidney, Ohio Dear Grandma: There are better ways to save water. Your 12-year-old granddaughter should be permitted to shower alone.

Your grandson might enjoy taking a bath rather than being in the shower alone. And it uses less water to bathe than to shower – usually!

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The obvious leads to a minus score

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Bob Uecker, who won the 1964 World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals, said, “I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager, Herman Franks, came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel’s suitcase.”

To end the week, let’s look at a grand slam in which it would be easy for declarer to go down.

How should South play in seven hearts after West leads the diamond queen?

Many Wests these days, despite the unfavorable vulnerability, would have used the Unusual Notrump, jumping to two no-trump over one heart to describe their minor two-suiter.

North used a strong jump shift, showing an excellent spade one-suiter or a good spade-heart two-suiter with, typically, 13-16 high-card points – enough to insist on game, but leaving a slam move to partner.

Declarer seems to have 14(!) tricks: five spades, seven hearts, one diamond and one club. There is a natural reaction for South to win the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace and to discard his club five. But then the apparent homerun ball is caught by an outfielder when the spades break 4-0.

South has two other choices at trick one. He can pitch a spade on the diamond ace. Then he can draw trumps and establish dummy’s fifth spade by ruffing the fourth round in his hand. He would return to dummy with a trump and throw his club five on the spade eight.

Alternatively, I like to ruff at trick one, draw trumps and turn to spades. When declarer sees the bad break, he knows to jettison a spade on the diamond ace.
