Thousands attend BatFest in Batavia

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia High School sophomore Adam Degaetano was as surprised as anyone seeing his pumpkin continue to roll down Houston Street after it left his hands moments earlier.

“I didn’t think it would go that far,” he said. “I thought it would hit a curb and smash.”

Pumpkin rolling was just one of the activities held in downtown Batavia on Saturday, part of Batavia MainStreet’s annual BatFest. Boy Scout Troop 6 hosted the popular pumpkin roll event.

Businesses in downtown Batavia also opened their doors to children who were getting an early start on their trick-or-treating. BatFest attracted more than 2,500 people, Batavia MainStreet Executive Director Joi Cuartero said.

“The businesses were all running out of candy,” she said.

BatFest gave the Fricot family of Batavia the chance to show off Halloween costumes.

Annie Fricot was dressed as the “X-Men” character Storm, and her husband, Marquette, came as the White Rabbit from “Alice in Wonderland.”

Families trick or treat in downtown Batavia on Saturday. The activity was part of BatFest.

In addition, their son, Draven, 4, was dressed as the “X-Men” character Wolverine, and their 1-year-old daughter, Jade, was playing the role of Alice.

“We love Halloween,” Annie Fricot said. “We decorate our house every year. This event helps to extend the holiday.”

The family moved to Batavia in March and is not fully acquainted with the city yet.

“This is a great way to get familiar with the downtown,” she said.

Chris Vale of Batavia and his children, Alex, 8, and Victoria, 3, were checking out the display of hand carved pumpkins at the Batavia Riverwalk.

“Look, there’s a Martian!”

Alex exclaimed.

The 22 pumpkins were carved by Brian Eberle, owner of Fallen Star Tattoo in Batavia.

“It was a lot of fun carving them,” he said. “I just took a mirror and made stupid faces and then tried to mimic the facial expressions.”

One of the pumpkins featured the face of a bulldog.

The pumpkins will be on display at a variety of downtown businesses. For a map of where they will be on display, visit www.downtownbatavia. com and click on BatFest under the tab “events.”

Jeff Bagnasco greets supporters during a live auction on his behalf Sunday at The Beehive Tavern and Grille in St. Charles.

Benefit auction supports man undergoing cancer treatment

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Jeff Bagnasco isn’t a big fan of charity, so he had two conditions when a longtime friend wanted to host a benefit auction in his honor.

One, he said, he would help collect the items for the event.

Two, the former Lily Lake resident said, attendees would be asked to bring a nonperishable item for Lazarus House in St. Charles.

“So at least if this flops, I know I helped others,” Bagnasco said Sunday afternoon during the benefit at Beehive Tavern and Grille in downtown St. Charles.

Bagnasco, 38, was diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer in March, he said, noting chronic digestive issues led to the disease.

Although the Sycamore resident said he is too stubborn to let the illness affect him – he appeared in good spirits Sunday – his diagnosis has hit his pocketbook, he said, explaining he hasn’t been able to work since late April.

His first surgery led to complications, he said, and he didn’t start chemotherapy until August. He said another surgery is scheduled for De-

Please make checks payable to Grace Lutheran Church of Lily Lake with “Jeff Bagnasco” under the memo. cember.

“Money is tight,” Bagnasco said.

Enter Kyle Reed, an auctioneer who has known Bagnasco since kindergarten.

Sunday, Reed auctioned off dozens of items – such as baked goods, beauty products,

toys and gift certificates to local businesses – to help raise money for his friend’s medical bills.

“A lot of places were really willing to give, which was nice,” Bagnasco said of the number of items donated to the event.

Other friends, such as Jenny Weech, pitched in to help.

Weech, who sold raffle tickets, said her husband, Erik, has been friends with Bagnasco since high school.

“Anything we can do to help,” Weech said.

She described Bagnasco as giving. He is the first person to stop what he’s doing to help someone in need, the person that can be counted on to help a stranded friend, she said.

CASA Kane County to hold meetings

sbaxa@casakanecounty.org.

CASA Kane County will hold special recruitment meetings that are geared toward men interested in volunteering.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from some of the male CASA/GAL volunteers on how they have made a difference in the life of an abused or neglected child. Meetings will be as follows: • 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, at Pal Joey’s, 31 N. River St., Batavia.

• 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, at Elgin Public House, 219 E. Chicago St., Elgin.

Police: STC teacher facing child pornography charges

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

and ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A St. Charles middle school teacher was placed on leave Monday after he was arrested that morning on child pornography charges, authorities said.

Sycamore police arrived with a search warrant at 6 a.m. at the home of Jerome B. McJerome B. Cauley, 45, of McCauley the 300 block of Grant Street in Sycamore. A search of McCauley’s home uncovered digital images and videos of child pornography, Sycamore Police Lt. Darrell Johnson said.

McCauley is charged with possession of child pornography, which is punishable by up to seven years in prison.

He also is charged with distribution of child pornography, which is punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

McCauley, who coaches volleyball and teaches sev-

enth-graders at Wredling Middle School, was placed on leave with pay Monday morning, St. Charles School District 303 Superintendent Don Schlomann said.

“In addition, we worked with the local [St. Charles] police department and secured all of his technology here in the district,” said Schlomann, noting McCauley had a computer and an iPad. McCauley’s Internet access has been disabled, and he will be unable to access district property, including his school email address, Schlomann said.

“The safety of students dictates he won’t be at school,” the superintendent said.

Schlomann said McCauley is in his 19th year with the district.

Police have been investigating McCauley since August, when a Sycamore police detective assigned to Internet crimes discovered him to be in possession of child pornography, police said. Based on evidence they collected, police also found McCauley was distributing child pornography, Johnson said.

“There was enough [evi-

dence] that we had now that would sustain the charges he would face,” Johnson said.

Police began the investigation in August, when a Sycamore detective found an IP address associated with someone who may have possessed child pornography, police said.

After a series of subpoenas and search warrants, police recently connected McCauley to the child pornography, police said. The way McCauley had the material through a file-sharing program indicates he also distributed it, police said.

The investigation still is pending, and more charges are possible, according to the Sycamore police news release.

St. Charles police and school officials were notified of McCauley’s arrest.

McCauley was taken to the DeKalb County Jail.

District 303 planned to alert parents to the situation through its communication system Monday, Schlomann said.

He said parents with any information should call the district at 331-228-2000 or the St. Charles Police Department at 630-377-4435.

Hinckley woman dies in crash near Elburn, sheriff’s office says KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com VIRGIL TOWNSHIP – A Hinckley woman died Sunday after a two-car crash west of Elburn along Route 38, the Kane County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

T h e i n i t i a l i n v e s t i g ation showed a 2012 Ford Focus traveling east on Route 38 west of Meredith Road crossed the center line for an unknown reason at about 12:30 p.m., striking a 2007

BMW SUV traveling west, police said.

The driver and sole occupant of the Ford, Kelly Morsch, 23, of Hinckley, reportedly was pronounced dead at the scene.

The other driver, Christopher Mctee, 40, of Schaumburg, was flown to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, said police, noting his injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

The passenger, Lisa Mctee, 32, of Schaumburg, was

taken by ambulance to Delnor Hospital in Geneva with nonlife-threatening injuries, police said.

Route 38 between Meredith and Watson roads was closed for about four hours while authorities investigated the crash, police said.

Kane County sheriff’s detectives and members of the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team are conducting the investigation.

No tickets have been issued, police said.

ST. CHARLES

Students, parents participate in 5K race On the Web

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Haines Middle School sixth-grade student Emma Schnulle munched on an orange slice Saturday to try to regain some of the energy she expended a few minutes earlier running in the school’s Halloween 5K. “I think the hardest part was keeping my energy up,” the 11-year-old said.

Emma was one of more than 500 Haines students and parents who participated in the race. This was the first time the school had hosted a 5K event.

Her father, Ray Schnulle, was happy to see her participate.

“Something like this gets the kids outside,” he said.

“And running is a lot of fun.”

The large turnout delighted organizers.

“This was more than we imagined we would have,” Haines physical education teacher Samantha Trimarco-Bugger said. “We are so happy with the community support and family support

we received to put on the event.”

Students had been training for the event for the past eight weeks, learning such things as how to pace yourself when running, as well as injury prevention.

“We’re trying to teach them lifelong fitness activities and how to stay in shape,” Trimarco-Bugger said.

Beth Haden and her son, Haines eighth-grade student Ty Haden, decided to participate at the last minute.

“This is my first 5K,” she said. “I wanted to encourage my son and give it a shot. The hardest part was trying to keep up with him.”

Ty said he had some doubts whether he could finish the race until he saw his math teacher, who also was participating in the event.

“She kept me going,” he said.

Nick also is a fan of “The Walking Dead.”

“It’s entertaining,” he said.

In past years, a Zombie Walk was held in conjunction with Batavia MainStreet’s BatFest in downtown Batavia.

The event also served as

a fundraiser for Batavia Music Buffs, S.T.A.G.E. (which supports Batavia High School theatrical productions) and Batavia MainStreet.

The event was not part of this year’s BatFest. In the past, it had attracted hundreds of participants.

“The interest was still to-

tally there,” Batavia MainStreet Executive Director Joi Cuartero said. “It was just a matter of manpower.”

Once again, the Fox Valley Park District’s Zombie Invasion 5K in Aurora attracted hundreds of people, either as participants or spectators.

This was the second year of

the event, which was held in September.

“It is like a niche race,” Fox Valley Park District public relations manager Jeff Long said. “You have people who want to combine recreation with something that is unique.”

Those who participated could sign up as a racer or a zombie. Racers had to run, climb and crawl through a series of obstacles to escape the zombies. Long said it “gets people excited about fitness.”

“It doesn’t feel like you are doing a workout regimen,” Long said. “You are out there having fun.”

In April, Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove hosted a lecture by “World War Z” author and zombie expert Max Brooks.

His book recently was made into a movie starring Brad Pitt.

About 300 people came to hear the lecture, which didn’t surprise Doug Grier, dean for community education at Waubonsee Community College, who said zombies “have captured the popular imagination.”

During the lecture, Brooks expressed his own opinions about why zombies have become so popular.

“He thought that it was because in these times of uncertainty, it is a way to kind of deal with your fears in a safe context,” Grier said.

• Tuesday, October 29, 2013

n planning for its first 5K run, the St. Charles Park District decided to incorporate a theme that has become increasingly popular – zombies.

“We thought it would be a good way to start off,” said Kristi Brewer, aquatics and youth programs supervisor for the St. Charles Park District.

Interest in zombies is soaring, made evident by the number of activities featuring a zombie theme. Among those participating in the recent 5K Family Zombie Fun Run & Walk at St. Charles Park District’s Primrose Farm were David and Amanda Tatko of St. Charles and their two children, Braydon, 6, and Adalyn, 4.

David and Amanda Tatko are devoted fans of the TV series “The Walking Dead,” a show about a group of post-apocalyptic survivors battling flesh-eating zombies.

While Amanda Tatko and her two children were dressed as zombies, David Tatko came as Sheriff Rick Grimes of “The Walking Dead.”

“We started watching halfway through the second season, then went back and watched the previous episodes,” David Tatko said.

Although Tatko said he is not typically into zombie movies, “The Walking Dead” caught his interest.

“It came together pretty nicely,” he said. “It seemed real. I like the fact that each character has a role to play.”

Because of the graphic violence in “The Walking Dead,” they don’t let their kids watch the show. David Tatko called it “a mommy-and-daddy thing.”

With gray makeup plastered all over his face, Nick Manthei, 12, of West Chicago, did his best to look like a zombie during the 5K Family Zombie Fun Run.

ST. CHARLES

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Acting in committee, aldermen Monday unanimously supported an amendment needed to facilitate the redevelopment of Charlestowne Mall.

The St. Charles City Council is expected to act on the issue at its meeting next week.

The existing Charlestowne

Mall PUD ordinance – which dates back to 1988 – doesn’t allow for additional buildings on the site, staff said.

SC Main 3800 LLC, the contract purchasers of the property, have indicated plans to construct free-standing structures, such as banks and restaurants, along East Main Street.

Other proposed changes include modifications to the

“ring road” around the mall, the removal of the former Sears store and exterior improvements.

“This is what we want to do,” David Pyle – a representative of the team working on the project – said of the concept.

In other news, aldermen unanimously supported staff’s request to install an electric vehicle charging station on the fourth floor of the First Street

parking deck.

Total cost is estimated around $13,000, but a grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity could reduce it to $6,500.

Electric Services Manager Tom Bruhl said the amenity could serve as an “economic beacon” in downtown St. Charles because electric vehicle owners know where charging stations are and visit

them regularly.

“I got an email from a resident in my ward who owns an electric car and questioned why we didn’t have something like this,” 4th Ward Alderman Jim Martin said.

“I’m 100 percent in favor of it,” 4th Ward alderman Jo Krieger added.

Bruhl said the charging station must be installed by Dec. 19 for grant purposes.

GENEVA

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Although not exactly borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, Geneva School District 304 officials are pondering strategies of how best to contain its future debt payments.

The problem is the increased annual debt payments on the district’s various building bond issues.

The district’s payment for

2013 was $18.7 million, but it is scheduled to go up to $20.3 million for 2014, $22 million in 2015, $23.6 million in 2016, up to nearly $25 million in 2018.

Elizabeth Hennessy of William Blair and Company, the district’s bond underwriter, presented various scenarios at the school board meeting Monday of how to “flatten” the debt payment to a more manageable $19 million.

The district’s debt is about $310 million covering bonds

or loans going back to 1998, records show.

Options to try to mitigate those high payment years include using abatements from surplus cash, refunding and “defeasance,” where the district would set aside cash to pay off the bonds, as well as extending the debt service another three years.

Hennessy’s presentation included pros and cons of each scenario.

Board president Mark

Grosso said the district’s debt service was “laddered” to spread out the payments and depended on new housing and additional residents to help pay for it.

“In 2007, the economy went down and housing stopped in Geneva,” Grosso said. “We want to flatten that [debt] out to mitigate the increases during the spike years when it’s really going to go up.”

Board member Bill Wilson said when the economy start-

ed tanking in 2007, taxpayers began seeing large increases in their tax bills of $500, $600 and more.

People told officials they could budget for small increases, but not the big increases every year, said Wilson, so the district made efforts to help reduce their impact.

Officials said the finance committee would be looking at the scenarios to figure out which ones might work best.

8LOCAL BRIEF Leaf pickups scheduled ST. CHARLES – Through Nov. 26, residents of the city of St. Charles will receive four scheduled pickups to remove their leaves for the season.

Leaves should be raked on the parkway, not into the street. Do not mix leaves with such yard waste as grass clippings, twigs and small plants. Make every attempt to not park in front of the piles of leaves, as crews cannot collect blocked piles.

Visit www.stcharlesil.gov for details. Residents may put leaves in yard waste bags, which will be collected by Advanced Disposal on their normal collection day through Nov. 26.

Contact the Public Works Office at 630-377-4405 with questions.

Hallock to seek 6-year term as circuit judge Kane County Circuit Judge James Hallock will seek another six years on the bench.

Monday, Hallock announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination to keep his position presiding over one of the county’s felony courtrooms.

“I’m 62, and I think I’m still young and healthy. I have the experience, and I am definitely enjoying the job,” Hallock said.

“And I’d like to keep doing it and serving the people of this county.”

Hallock has served as a judge in the county since the

early 1990s, when he was appointed as an associate judge in Illinois’ 16th Judicial Circuit.

Before his appointment in 1992, Hallock, of Elgin, worked as a lawyer at the firm of Wilder and Hallock.

During his time on the bench, Hallock has moved up the ranks, beginning in traffic and misdemeanor court. Since then, he has served in family court, DUI court and in courtrooms hearing cases concerning domestic violence and orders of protection.

“My experience as a trial judge has included trials ranging from violations of handicapped parking to murders,” Hallock said.

OPINIONS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The dysfunction in Congress To the Editor: Now that the shutdown of the U.S. government has ended – for now – I would like to state in this paper the main reason people are realizing that Republicans are solely to blame for the dysfunction in the U.S. Congress.

Apparently, according to several authors, there was a secret meeting of Republicans on Jan. 20, 2009, during President Obama’s inauguration. This meeting took place at The Caucus Room restaurant, where these Republicans plotted a comeback together – they were to enact a plan to destroy Obama’s presidency.

In my opinion, these Republicans ought to be charged with treason and put in jail. I know that I am not the only person who has been suffering from the stalled economy, and I look upon these men as enemies of the people of the United States.

ANOTHER VIEW

Plenty of time remains to fix HealthCare.gov before delaying penalties THE WASHINGTON POST On Thursday, representatives of the federal contractors who built HealthCare. gov stated the obvious in front of a House panel – the government did not leave enough time to test the website before its error-filled Oct. 1 launch.

The next question, a growing number of lawmakers now insist, is whether the government will leave people enough time to sign up for coverage before they are fined for lacking health insurance.

“Given the existing problems with the website,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., wrote to President Obama last Tuesday, “I urge you to

consider extending open enrollment beyond the current end date of March 31, 2014.”

Nine other Senate Democrats signed a similar letter.

The move would delay the penalty for lacking coverage, which is set to kick in next spring. Other lawmakers want to go further, canceling the penalty for all of next year.

Neither proposal is a good idea.

Despite the intolerable failure of the Obama administration to warn the country that HealthCare.gov would not work at launch, there is still plenty of time for the government to make the required fixes. The first major deadline is not until Dec. 15, when people have

to apply to obtain insurance coverage that starts Jan. 1.

People don’t need insurance then, though, to avoid the penalty. Resolving a point of confusion, the Obama administration clarified Wednesday that anyone signed up by March 31 will not have to pay a penalty. That’s more than five months from now.

IPad-toting members of Congress in Thursday’s hearing offered differing accounts about the current ease of using HealthCare.gov, but the site has improved since Day 1. Even if it takes some weeks more to get the site in reasonable order, insurance buyers will probably have plenty of time to obtain coverage before running afoul of the penalty.

Editorial board Jim Ringness

Al Lagattolla

Kathy Gresey Jay Schwab

Kate Schott

Why not delay the penalty, just in case? Attacking the so-called individual mandate makes for great politics, but following through on the delay would destabilize the new and vulnerable insurance market.

Next year, the law will oblige insurance companies to accept pretty much anyone, regardless of age or health. The trade-off is that everyone will be required to buy into the system so that insurance companies can have enough healthy customers to keep premiums for everyone reasonable.

The penalty against individuals lacking health care coverage is a crucial tool in the effort to drive people into the new system. Delay it,

and you’ll get fewer people signing up in the first part of next year, and insurance companies will demand, with good reason, to renege on the rates they are offering for next year’s coverage. At present, lawmakers do not need and should not attempt to make that outcome any more likely.

On Friday, Jeffrey Zients, the site’s new point man, said the HealthCare.gov system will work by December.

He and everyone else had better hope that its bungled rollout hasn’t turned off too many people permanently.

If Congress wants to help, it could make sure the necessary funds are appropriated to complete the Affordable Care Act’s implementation.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

City’s crime-free housing program could expand

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – City staff members are recommending that Batavia’s crime-free housing program be renamed and expanded to include more rental buildings within the city.

Aldermen will discuss the issue at 7:30 p.m. today at the Joint Committee of the Whole meeting at the Batavia Government Center, 100 S. Island Ave., Batavia.

Batavia aldermen in September 2011 approved the twoyear pilot program, which ends this year. City staff recommends the program be made permanent, and that it

be renamed “City of Batavia Rental Property Licensing Program” to show a more comprehensive approach to rental licensing activity.

Under the current program, landlords must include a crime-free lease addendum that makes criminal activity a violation and grounds for eviction.

That includes murder, drug-related criminal activity, prostitution and unlawful use of weapons. The addendum covers residents and their guests.

Right now, the program is in effect only for apartment complexes of 10 or more units. Staff is recommending

your opinion.

the program be expanded to include those buildings or complexes that are six units or larger.

Staff also proposed that a building or complex would need to pass a property maintenance inspection of the exterior of the buildings grounds and the common areas within the building before the owner is issued a rental property license.

“Staff feels that this program as amended will further increase the safety and quality of rental housing in the city,” Batavia Community Development Director Scott Buening said in a memo to aldermen.

How to prep for legal consultation The legal consultation is when an attorney preliminarily reviews a client’s case at an initial meeting. The consultation can be invaluable for both the attorney and the client.

While the attorney assesses the case for strengths and weaknesses, the client assesses the attorney to determine the feasibility of a future business relationship.

However, consultations are often ineffectual because the client tells the attorney what he or she thinks the attorney wants to hear; the client interrupts an attorney without an appointment; the client forgets to bring

IN YOUR COURT Anthony Scifo supporting documents to the consultation; the client is closed minded regarding the attorney’s assessment; and the client treats the consultation as more of a venting session than an opportunity to productively review the case.

As a result, attorneys charge consultation fees to determine the client’s seriousness about the matter.

If the client is serious, $100 won’t matter because litiga-

tion may cost thousands. If the client is looking to vent about the matter, the client will move on to a friend for comfort.

If you want your legal consultation to be productive, I recommend the following: 1. Tell the attorney the facts, like you tell your doctor the symptoms. The attorney isn’t there to judge you, but to help you. And just as your doctor needs to know all of your symptoms for a proper diagnosis, the attorney needs all of the facts to properly assess a case.

2. Schedule an appointment with the attorney’s of-

fice. An attorney’s schedule is often dictated by preset court dates. Scheduling an appointment in advance allows the attorney to commit attention to you.

3. Provide relevant documents to the attorney prior to the scheduled consultation. This allows the attorney to review the events thoroughly and objectively for a more complete analysis.

4. Be prepared to answer detailed questions about the matter. Each and every fact could alter the outcome of your case, even seemingly insignificant facts.

5. Be open-minded regarding the attorney’s opinion.

6. Realize one attorney’s opinion may differ from another’s opinion. Until the case is ruled on by a judge, it is an opinion.

Best potential regional final: Geneva vs. Batavia at 4A Addison Trail Regional. Several Batavia seniors shed triumphant tears Sept. 17 after the Bulldogs rallied for a 20-25, 25-22, 25-22 Upstate Eight Conference win at Geneva. Batavia’s seniors never had defeated the Geneva varsity until then. Turning the tables would send the Vikings back home for sectionals.

Best bet to win a regional: St. Charles North at 4A South Elgin Regional. The North Stars have been bracing for a deep postseason run since a veteran-laden group took command of practices in August. The second seed in the Geneva Sectional, North won three tournaments and tied St. Charles East for the UEC River title.

Potential dark horse: Batavia.

The lowest-seeded of the four Tri-Cities teams in the Geneva Sectional, Batavia was also the only club in that group not to exceed 20 regular season wins. The Bulldogs earned 19 victories, including a three-game win at Geneva, and also took the opening game at St. Charles East before stumbling down the stretch.

Final thought: Defending 3A state champion St. Francis will be without Nebraska-bound senior outside hitter Maddie Haggerty (torn labrum) as it enters what longtime coach Peg Kopec calls “a pretty tough regional, thank you very much” at Timothy Christian. Should the Spartans get by a regional field that includes Nazareth Academy and Montini, a sectional semifinal against Joliet Catholic or Providence could await.

GENEVA VOLLEYBALL

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

G

ENEVA – Geneva junior libero Kelsey Wicinski absorbs her opponents’ best shots during every match.

It all started when she sponged up much of her older sisters’ early volleyball careers.

The youngest – and shortest – of three siblings to play for Vikings coach KC Johnsen, Wicinski provides a variety of services for the top seed in the 3A Addison Trail Regional. She knows she also could set or provide back-line attacking during tonight’s regional semifinal against Addison Trail. Wicinski doesn’t just dig digging.

“I’ve played every position, but I like libero. I like how I play,” Wicinski said. “It’s given me a higher volleyball IQ, definitely, and made me a smarter player.”

Johnsen often tells people the 5-foot-8 Wicinski is as tall now as her oldest sister, Lauren, was during her freshman year. These days, Lauren Wicinski is pushing 6-2 as a top senior outside hitter at Michigan State.

Middle sister Jess Wicinski is a 5-10 freshman right-side/outside hitter at NCAA Division II Quincy. The girls’ mother, Gina, was an outside hitter at Northern Illinois from 1983 to 1987.

While Kelsey Wicinski wouldn’t trade her sisters for anything – she traveled to Aurora’s Great Lakes Center to watch Jess in a Division II tournament Friday – she’s also eager to forge her own path.

“I think she’s handled it well,” Gina Wicinski said. “The good thing is, she plays a different position than they did. Being a defensive person is a different ballgame, so that’s been kind of unique for her.”

Wicinski especially set herself apart during a three-game victory Sept. 24 against visiting St. Charles North.

A week after sprawling to a then-program record 48 digs against Batavia, Wicinski narrowly outdid herself with what Johnsen called a “pretty ridiculous” 49 digs. Kelly Dalheim established the previous standard of 41 digs during last season’s sectional final loss to Glenbard West.

Wicinski was in her first varsity season at that point, and by then had taken to watching and learning from Dalheim, much as she did at her own sisters’ practices and matches from an early age. Naturally, the Wicinskis had a volleyball net in their backyard growing up, and the youngest member of the family couldn’t help but begin embracing the sport.

QUICK READ Kevin Druley in hand.

“You don’t have the ability to take five minutes to get ready. You have to be effective right off the bat,” Jennison said. “These guys have had to figure that out, that look, no one’s just going to sit down and give you the win because you’re St. Charles East. You’ve got to earn everything.

“I think the last couple of games have really given them that indication, and I would like to think they’re coming out [today], these guys, they’re going to be keyed in and in a positive frame of mind going forward.”

Today’s winner plays the winner of Wednesday’s Lake Park-Elk Grove semifinal for the sectional championship at 3 p.m. Saturday.

Rocket and roll: Transpose the first two consonants in Alan Camarena’s surname and you get a mid-1990s dance sensation.

Will folks do the Macarena when Camarena and the Burlington Central boys soccer team host Freeport in a Class 2A sectional semifinal at 5 p.m. today? Probably not, but all other revelry is likely to accompany the Rockets after Camarena’s lone goal with 55 seconds left eliminated Kaneland in last week’s Sycamore Regional final.

“The boys are really pumped to have all the fans out there,” BC coach Mike Gecan said. “I expect a big atmosphere.”

Central (21-2) enjoyed success nearly everywhere it went during the regular season, shining behind goalkeeper Brett Rau and an attack that blended speed and strength with such talent as Matt O’Connor and Paolo Sespene.

School officials ordered extra bleachers this week to accommodate what it hopes is an influx of supporters.

“We’ll give our best performance, and hopefully, it’s enough,” Gecan said. “I’m proud of my boys for what they’ve done so far, and we’ll see what they can do.”

The Rockets have not faced the Pretzels since 2010.

BC, fresh off the program’s first regional title en route to its first state tournament, won, 2-0, in a Belvidere Sectional semifinal.

Scratching the surface: Kaneland seniors Drew David and Alex Snyder have refined their quarterback-center exchange since an injury to teammate Zach Thielk forced Snyder to move from right guard in Week 7.

Long before that, however, David and Snyder bonded through beards.

“Me and Al and a couple other guys,” David said, “but they kind of wimped out of it as the season went along.”

Wicinski has increased libero role • WICINSKI Continued from page 18 The key to success at libero?

“Read,” Wicinski said.

“Read the hitter’s hand and read where you’re going to put the block and read where the seam is.”

And speed read at that.

“Yeah,” Wicinski said.

“You can’t think about it too much. You just have to go.”

Gina Wicinski is glad her

daughter is a voracious reader, of course, but also beams about how the libero role has grown since her playing days. It only has helped her daughter and others wearing different-colored jerseys than their teammates.

“They don’t always just have to be a setter, because even now setters are 6-foot, too,” Gina Wicinski said. “It kind of opens an avenue for a lot of kids who think volleyball is just for tall players.”

Johnsen stresses the

importance of versatility in players’ development. Drills early in practice are designed to get every player working at each basic skill, just in case a match comes down to a non-setter setting or a non-libero passing.

If she keeps playing at her current rate, Kelsey Wicinski knows her list of college suitors will grow, too.

“She’s taken our libero position to a whole new level,” Johnsen said, “and that’s good.”

There aren’t enough rounds in the Class 3A boys soccer state tournament to fulfill one of St. Charles East coach Paul Jennison’s fantasies.

“I wish we could play every day simply for the fact that as soon as you come off that field and you’re fortunate enough to get a good win, you want to get right back out there and continue it,” Jennison said.

Such measures would seem a natural way to eliminate the Saints’ recent bouts with consistency. Such as it is, Jennison thinks the top-seeded Saints possess enough leadership and talent to avoid any letdowns during today’s Schaumburg Sectional semifinal against No. 12 Wheaton North.

East (19-1-4) ousted the Falcons to open the 2012 postseason, a run that ended in supersectionals. Plenty of firepower returns from that group, namely captains Kevin Heinrich, Andrew Shone and Jake Sterling.

Jennison thought the team “maybe coasted” at times during a dominant regular season. The Saints waited for their high-powered attack to click during last week’s home regional. Zach Manibog’s goal 5:20 into the second half snapped a scoreless tie and keyed a 2-0 semifinal victory against St. Charles North.

Area teams find out playoff draws

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Tuesday, October 29, 2013

By JAY SCHWAB and KEVIN DRULEY Shaw Media The Batavia football team gathered at the school Saturday night for a community playoff party, a gathering that grew all the rowdier when the Bulldogs received what many would consider great news.

The televised announcement of the state playoff pairings revealed that – after much speculation – Batavia was the largest school in the IHSA’s Class 6A state playoffs draw, rather than landing in Class 7A. It might be a small sample size, but a much-circulated fact this past week is that Batavia reached the state semifinals in 6A in 2011 and then lost in the first round in 7A last year.

Bulldogs coach Dennis Piron thinks Batavia (8-1) is strong enough to fare well in either class, but he still loved the sight of his team’s reaction to the announcement that the Bulldogs will host DeKalb (54) in the first round of the 6A playoffs next week.

“It was awesome,” Piron said of the party. “Awesome.

Very fun, and our kids got a nice, big surprise. When they heard it was 6A, it was a big cheer, but they cheer whatever. They see the name, and then they said ‘Batavia, it looks like maybe one of the teams to beat here,’ and the kids got excited about that guy, whoever he was, so it was fun.”

Piron thought the Bulldogs coaches might be able to solve the 6A/7A riddle by early Saturday based on Friday night’s statewide results, but he said that turned out to be wishful thinking.

“In the end it was just looking more and more like it was Class 7A, so when it was announced, we were kind of surprised, to be honest with you,” Piron said. “Our super math geniuses didn’t figure it out like I thought, but we’re playing an old conference foe, DeKalb, and that should be cool.”

The Bulldogs and Barbs were Western Sun Conference brethren before going their separate ways in 2010. DeKalb needed a Week 9 win against

Batavia’s Blake Crowder runs past Elgin defenders during Friday’s game in Batavia. The Bulldogs host DeKalb on Friday in the 6A playoffs.

Drive to DeKalb First-round football playoff times were released Monday. Here are the game times for the eight area qualifiers: CLASS 8A (11) St. Charles East (6-3) at (6) Stevenson (7-2), 3 p.m. Saturday CLASS 7A (10) St. Patrick (6-3) at (7) Geneva (7-2), 7:30 p.m. Friday CLASS 6A (15) DeKalb (5-4) at (2) Batavia (8-1), 7 p.m. Friday (12) Fenton (6-3) at (5) Marmion (7-2), 7 p.m. Friday CLASS 5A (12) Hampshire (6-3) at (5) Kaneland (8-1), 7 p.m. Friday (14) St. Francis (5-4) at (3) Glenbard South (9-0), 1 p.m. Saturday CLASS 4A (10) Aurora Central Catholic (6-3) at (7) King (7-2), at Gately Stadium, 12 p.m. Saturday CLASS 3A (10) Aurora Christian (6-3) at (7) IC Catholic Prep (6-3), 1 p.m. Saturday Rochelle, 46-41, to become playoff-eligible at 5-4.

Like Batavia, Geneva – winners of six straight – is hot heading into the playoffs.

Coach Rob Wicinski was delighted that the Vikings (7-2) earned a home game against St. Patrick (6-3) in Class 7A. In 2011, Geneva also was 7-2 and drew a nasty, first-round road game at Lake Zurich.

Wicinski said “I’m really

happy for the players” regarding starting the playoffs at Burgess Field, and said he’s known the St. Patrick coach – Dan Galante – for many years, through a mutual friend.

It was thought that St. Charles East would join Geneva in 7A but the Saints and Oswego tied as the smallest schools in Class 8A, the state’s largest enrollment bracket.

East (6-3) will visit the north suburbs to face Stevenson (7-2) in the first round.

There was much discussion on Comcast’s playoff pairings show about how cutthroat the northern half of the 5A draw is, and Kaneland (8-1) is squarely in the middle of that minefield. After beginning with a first-round home game against Hampshire (6-3), Joliet Catholic (second round) and four-time defending state champion Montini and Marian Central (quarterfinals) are among the name-brand programs the Knights could encounter before long.

St. Francis (5-4) also is in the 5A draw, having played its way in with a Week 9 win against St. Edward. The Spartans will make a short trip to unbeaten Glenbard South in Round 1. The Raiders had an undefeated regular season for the first time in program history but play in a considerably less grueling conference than St. Francis; all six Suburban Christian Conference Blue teams made the playoffs.

AURORA – It didn’t take long for the Rosary girls volleyball team to dispatch IMSA in Monday’s Class 3A Aurora Central Catholic Regional quarterfinal. And that has the Royals feeling good.

Rosary dominated en route to a 25-8, 25-12 sweep to advance to today’s regional semifinal match against Providence.

“I think it gives us a big boost of confidence,” senior Josephine Gallagher said, “especially it being our first regional win. And we’re such a young team, I think it’ll help us play a little more confidently and strong tomorrow.”

Rosary cruised in both games against the regional’s lowest seed, going up, 15-1, in the first game and scoring the first seven points in the second.

“It was nice,” Gallagher said. “It made the game pretty comfortable. We were able to put in some other players. It was exciting.”

The Royals got a big contribution from freshman Erin Burke, who finished with 13 kills in the match. It seemed like a big part of the game plan was to set up Burke, who stood out with a powerful hit nearly every time she swung.

“She had a lot of points for us in the beginning,” coach Rachel Hartmann said. “It’s always good to see when she’s on. She’s a young player, she’s learning the game pretty quickly. So it’s good to see her going.”

“Erin’s a really big part of the team,” Gallagher said.

“She’s a big hitter on our team, one of our strongest hitters. She always puts the ball away. It’s an easy play.”

“I think that this team has a lot of potential. We’re very young,” Czipri said. “Most of the match, the only senior that was on the court was [Tack]. So I think that leadership plays a big part in that, when you’ve only got one big leader. My other returning player is a sophomore middle, so I think that that plays a big role. … They’re nervous, they haven’t been in this position before.

“I think that we’ve got a lot of promise for the future.

It was a challenging season for this group of girls. I don’t think that they tapped into their potential as much as I had hoped for, specifically because I don’t know if they knew and really grasped how good they could’ve been. It’s a matter of hoping that they take advantage of it next year.”

Batavia blanked in regional final

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

8SPORTS SHORTS East’s Barry commits to Illinois State football ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East senior Brannon Barry verbally committed to play college football at Illinois State on Monday.

Barry chose ISU over another Missouri Valley Football Conference program, Western Illinois, which also had offered a scholarship.

The 6-foot-5 Barry is a two-way standout for East at receiver and safety. He said the Redbirds project him to play receiver.

Barry is the leading receiver this year for the Saints with 41 receptions for 644 receiving yards.

He has five touchdown receptions and a rushing touchdown.

Barry and the Saints (6-3) will visit Stevenson on Saturday in an IHSA Class 8A first-round playoff game.

AURORA – Forcing the issue as it has for much of the stretch run this season, the Batavia boys soccer team played aggressively to start Saturday’s 3A Waubonsie Valley Regional final against the host Warriors.

Waubonsie Valley grabbed a quick two-goal lead, yet Batavia still had hopes of wrestling that advantage away from the Warriors.

“Even at that point, we still had better opportunities,” Bulldogs coach Mark Gianfrancesco said. “We just didn’t finish our chances and had a hard time even generating some chances in the second half. I mean, we were up there, we were there, but just not rolling our way today and didn’t put those balls away.”

Batavia left for home with a season-ending 4-0 loss as a result.

Waubonsie Valley converted its early pressure into a pair of goals about three minutes apart, striking first when defender John Chapman flicked a ball high into the box and

forward Casey Bucz fought through traffic and finished with 27:50 to go in the first half.

“I told myself I was going to go after every single ball today, so I just made an effort to go to it, no matter what,” Bucz said. “Follow every ball. And luckily, some of them came up short of the goalie and I got to be there.”

Waubonsie Valley (9-7-2) scored again with 24:17 before halftime, once more getting the best of congestion in front of the goal as Michael Miller deflected a header off a Bucz corner kick.

Batavia improved resoundingly on last season’s 3-14-3 record while winning tournaments at Waubonsie Valley and Morton.

The Bulldogs defeated Plainfield South in penalty kicks on Oct. 22 to advance to the program’s first regional final since 2011.

“I think overall, we had a really good team. Executed in a lot of games, in a lot of tight situations,” Gianfrancesco said. “It’s always unfortunate to lose, but I think we’ve had a pretty good season to get here.

So pretty pleased with that.”

North wins but denied postseason reward

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Tuesday, October 29, 2013

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com SOUTH ELGIN – The St. Charles North football team figured out how to win a close game too late to save the North Stars’ playoff hopes.

The North Stars held off South Elgin on Saturday, 27-25, in their season finale, finding out a little more than an hour later they were among a minority of 5-4 teams statewide to miss the playoffs based on too few playoff points.

Still, first-year North coach Rob Pomazak called the program’s first winning season since 2009 – also North’s last year in the playoffs – a “stepping stone.”

“We talk about controlling the controllables, and winning this football game was a controllable,” Pomazak said.

North started its season by dropping two overtime games in its first three weeks, and yet another OT game became a distinct possibility when South Elgin (3-6) scored a touchdown on quarterback Rob Cuda’s fourth touchdown pass of the

Jeff Krage for Shaw Media

St. Charles North’s Dylan Hunter carries the football Saturday during North’s 27-25 victory over South Elgin. afternoon with 1:16 to play in the fourth quarter, drawing within 27-25.

But on the ensuing twopoint conversion attempt, Cuda, rolling to his left, didn’t find an open receiver to his liking, and made a dash for the end zone. He was stopped just short by North’s defense,

initially by junior cornerback Tyler Bell.

“He tried to jump up, and I grabbed his leg, then one of the other players came over to [help stop him],” Bell said.

Although the Storm’s passing game had its moments – junior Nick Menken hauled in three TD grabs – the late

two-point stop was among a handful of marquee plays by North’s defense.

Junior Jordan Bergren was in the middle of several of them. He had two fumble recoveries on the day, including one for a touchdown on a bad South Elgin snap from the Storm’s own 4-yard line.

“I just saw that it was starting to roll out of bounds, so I did the only thing I thought I would be able to do, and that was dive on it,” Bergren said.

Bergren moved from his usual outside linebacker spot to defensive end Saturday as the North Stars sought to beef up their pass rush. Bergren notched a big sack on third down to force a punt early in the fourth quarter.

“Jordan took it in stride,” Pomazak said of the position switch. “He’s a smart, heady football player, and obviously, he was the player of the game for us on defense.”

Bergren’s defensive touchdown was North’s lone TD in the first half, after which North led, 7-6.

But North’s ground

game-driven offense perked up in the second half, including a 17-yard touchdown pass from senior Erik Miller to tight end Garrett Johnson for one of only four North completions on the day. Kat Stutesman’s point after made it 27-13 with 5:14 to play in the fourth quarter.

Mostly, it was a steady dose of senior running back Evan Kurtz, who broke a 53-yard TD run on an inside handoff in the final seconds of the third quarter. Kurtz (31 carries, 162 yards), who has battled shoulder problems this season, carried the load before exiting the game in the fourth quarter.

Pomazak was gratified to see North’s plus-sized offensive line seemingly wear down South Elgin in the second half.

“When you have 280 pounds, 260 pounds, 250 pounds, constantly beating on you for four quarters, that’s what the game plan is,” Pomazak said. “Eventually a little crack turns into a big hole, and then all the sudden, you go. We know that’s part of our M.O., and we’re not going to get away from it.”

IHSA CLASS 3A WHEATON NORTH BOYS/GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY REGIONAL

Tri-Cities teams triumph at Wheaton North Regional

By MATT PUTTIN mputtin@shawmedia.com WARRENVILLE – All six Geneva and St. Charles girls and boys cross country teams came out ready to take advantage of a brisk Saturday morning at the IHSA Class 3A Wheaton North Regional at St. James Forest Preserve.

The area girls teams took the top three positions and produced eight of the top 10 finishers.

Geneva won the girls regional with a team score of 42 points. Geneva took places 4 through 7 overall. Senior Kathryn Adelman (18:05.5) came in fourth followed by sophomore McKenzie Altmayer (18.13.9).

Junior Brooke Nusser (19.19.6) finished in sixth and sophomore Emma McSpadden (18:27.1) took seventh place.

Staying in a pack was a big key to Geneva’s success.

“The race went out really fast,” Altmayer said. “It was really nice because we had four of our girls all together at once. We tried to pack up the whole race and we did for the most part.”

“I think the race went pretty well,” Adelman added. “We had a good pack of girls, there were about four of us up there.

We were together at the first mile and that pumped me up.

I know that the whole team is really excited for what we did today, and I know we’re just as pumped for next weekend.

We can’t wait to get out there and see what we can do.”

St. Charles North senior Ashley England was the individual girls champion in 17:37.3.

“I knew from the start I got out a little fast,” England said.

“I had a gap by the first time we went into the woods.”

England came out this

week wanting to avenge last week’s conference defeat by one second.

“After last week getting beat by a second, I knew that I had to come out here and that I wanted to win,” England said.

“It was a lot of preparation throughout the week of finishing strong and mentally getting through that second mile.”

England led her team to second place in the regional with a team score of 49 points.

Sophomore Nina Olshever took 10th place (18.44.6) followed by senior Kaylee Wessel in 11th (18.48.3).

The St. Charles East girls finished third overall with a team score of 67 points. Junior Torree Scull led the way for the Saints (17.57.0), finishing in second place. Teammate Corrin Adams took ninth (18:39.0).

“The past four weeks I haven’t been running well at all,”

Scull said. “I really just wanted to go out today and try kind of a new strategy. I wanted to focus on not going out as hard and easing into the race, getting my position and having a lot towards the end. It really worked.

The boys area teams also advanced to this weekend’s sectionals. Five of the top 10 finishers came from Geneva, St. Charles East and St. Charles North.

The East boys won the regional with a team score of 50 points. Senior Max Rowland led the Saints by finishing third overall (15:30.6). He was followed by teammate Mark Sciurba (15.40.8), who finished sixth. Lucas Werner (16:05.1) and sophomore Mike Gerkin (16:06.2) finished 12th and 13th overall.

“I got out a lot faster personally than I ever have before,” Rowland said. “We set-

tled in really nicely. The five of us at the top stuck together.

Towards the end we started to thin out because it is such a long straightaway to the finish line at this course. We have come quite far because I remember last year we were all qualifying individually for sectionals and now we have actually won the regional.”

North finished in third place with a team score of 81 points.

Senior Nathan Klair led the North Stars (15:37.2), finishing in fifth place. Teammate Kevin Davis finished in seventh (15:45.9).

Geneva finished in fifth place overall with a team score of 87 points. Senior Blaine Bartel placed second for the Vikings.

All six squads will be advancing to the Class 3A Waubonsie Valley Sectional on Saturday.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM Lanterns are among the earliest Halloween collectibles - and not just jack-o’-lanterns. The early-1900s jack-o’-lantern was made of metal.

Within a few years, jack-o’-lanterns were being made of pressed paper with thin paper inserts creating see-through eyes, nose and mouth.

That way, a candle inside the paper pumpkin could light a path. But it was dangerous to walk and run with a lit candle in a flammable container. By the 1920s, special Halloween lampshades were made for display in a front window. You also could buy flat-sided lanterns made in a “stained-glass” style with black cardboard strips and translucent orange paper. These lanterns were made in Germany and the United States until the 1940s.

But beware - some were reproduced in the 1990s. Old lanterns usually have round, indented candleholders on the bottom; most reproductions have flat bottoms. A very famous 12-panel lantern was made in Germany in the 1920s and sold was by Beistle, an important American company that sold (and still sells) holiday decorations. A vintage example sells for more than $500 today. One recently offered at Morphy Auctions had a presale estimate of $400 to $600. *** Q: My mother left me a collection of Kewpie dolls, all in good condition. Please tell me something about them. I’m in my 70s now and probably will give them to my granddaughters rather than sell them. But I’d like to know if they’re valuable.

A: Artist Rose O’Neill (18741944) drew the first Kewpies,

little naked, winged, Cupid-like characters, for a Ladies’ Home Journal story that ran in 1909.

Within two years, O’Neill’s drawings were turned into 3-D designs for Kewpie dolls and figurines. They were made with small blue wings and a red heart as a mark. The dolls were an immediate success, and several companies made Kewpies and Kewpie-related products.

Kewpie dolls still are being made.

They can be found in bisque, celluloid, composition or hard plastic. Collectors love Kewpies and will pay hundreds, or even thousands, for rare old figurines and dolls. *** Q: I have a large Wagner Ware fry pan with cover. It reads “Magnalite No. 4569.” The pan is 10 1/2 inches wide and 3 inches deep. I’m wondering what it might be worth.

A: Your fry pan is a chicken fryer.

Wagner Manufacturing Co. was founded in Sidney, Ohio, in 1891.

After several changes in ownership, the company closed in 1999.

Wagner made Magnalite, a cast aluminum cookware, from 1934 to 1999. The value of your fry pan depends on condition. The average price is under $20. *** Q: We own an old barber chair with a metal label that reads, “Koken Companies, Manufacturers, St. Louis, U.S.A.” How do you suggest we sell it?

A: Ernest Koken, a German immigrant, was selling shaving mugs in St. Louis by 1874, when he was 19 years old. By the 1880s, he was selling barber chairs, and had started filing for patents on improvements to the chairs. His patents eventually included a reclining chair back and a hydraulic

lift. His company, Koken Barbers’ Supply Co., manufactured chairs until it went bankrupt in the 1950s.

(A successor, Koken Manufacturing Co., is in business today; it bought the original company’s assets.)

Antique Koken barber chairs in excellent shape can sell for thousands, but they’re not easy to transport. So it would be better to sell your chair locally via a tradepaper ad, Craigslist or a local shop or auction. *** Q: My child’s tea set includes a ceramic teapot, sugar bowl, creamer and four cups and saucers.

The dishes are green luster and are decorated with pink and white flowers. I have the original box, too. The top of the box says it’s a “Little Hostess Set.” Also printed on the box is the phrase, “Nagoya Toy Tea Set, No. 600/424/2, Made in Japan.” I think the set has been in our family since the late 1920s.

Please tell me what it’s worth.

A: Your set may date from the 1920s, or possibly the ‘30s. If the pattern were more interesting - of Disney or other cartoon characters, for example - the set would be more valuable. Still, your set, with its original box, could sell for $75 or

Q: My husband and I found a very old pen-and-ink calligraphic drawing of a bird. It was stuck inside an old family Bible. The Bible dates back to the early 1800s, and the signed drawing is 7 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches.

The bird in the center of the drawing is surrounded by lots of flourishes and doodads. I understand this type of drawing was done by students studying calligraphy back then. Can you give us an idea of value?

A: The art of calligraphy flourished in the United States during the 19th century. Elegant penmanship was a sign of refinement and was taught in private academies and writing classes. Drawings like yours were done with quills or steel pens, and typically have repeated cursive flourishes that also could be used in fancy handwriting. If your drawing is original, it could sell for $50 into the low hundreds.

By DENEEN L. BROWN The Washington Post Canadian novelist Esi Edugyan won the 2013 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for fiction Friday night for her novel “Half-Blood Blues.”

The novel, which was honored during a gala celebration at Washington’s Carnegie Library, tells the story of a young, half-black German man who plays the trumpet with a “massive sound, wild and unexpected, like a thicket of flowers in a bone-dry field” and is arrested in a Paris cafe under the Nazi regime.

“The judges felt ‘Half-Blood Blues’ was an astonishing work of originality,” said Marita Golden, a novelist and co-founder of the Hurston/Wright Foundation, which celebrates writers in the African diaspora. “They had never read a novel quite like it.”

The nonfiction award went to Fredrick C. Harris for “The Price of the Ticket: Barack Obama and Rise and Decline of Black Politics,” an examination of President Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and the effects of his “race-neutral” approach on African Americans’ quest for racial equality and justice.

Golden said the judges deemed “Ticket” “an important book that deserved a much wider readership.”

The award for poetry went posthumously to Lucille Clifton for “The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton 1965-2010.” The collection by the former poet laureate of Maryland “secured her place in American letters,” the judges said.

The Hurston/Wright Foundation was founded in Prince George’s County, Md., in 1990 by Golden and Clyde McElvene, a marketing executive, to discover, educate and mentor black writers and ensure the survival of literature by black writers.

“This is just an extraordinary time for black writers,” said Golden, who has written several fiction and nonfiction books, including “Don’t Play in the Sun,” “Saving Our Sons,” “Long Distance Life” and “Migrations of the Heart.”

“So many new voices are coming out of the diaspora,” said Golden, who lives in Bowie and teaches writing workshops in the Washington area. “It

Serpent’s Tail image

Canadian novelist Esi Edugyan won the 2013 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for fiction Friday night for her novel “Half-Blood Blues.” is a very exciting time, but at the same time, because of the changes in the publishing industry and the changes in the way people buy books, black writers are just as negatively impacted in the case of royalties and financial remuneration.”

The foundation stopped giving out monetary awards several years ago, but Golden said that “has not diminished the respect writers have for the award, because it is a game-changer.” She added: “Many times, a publisher will decide to bring a book into paperback because of the award.”

Washington Post staff writer and biographer Wil Haygood, whose frontpage story in The Post inspired the movie “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” was awarded the Ella Baker Award for his “masterful writing” and support of the foundation.

In accepting the award, Haygood said that someone had asked him what has changed in his life since the movie was made. “Not a whole lot,” Haygood told the crowd. “But I have heard from both of the ladies who turned me down for my high school prom.”

Haygood, who has written biographies of Adam Clayton Powell Jr., Sammy Davis Jr. and Sugar Ray Robinson,

said in an interview earlier that he was honored to have been selected as an award recipient.

“The others receiving the Legacy award are extremely gifted and very prominent writers,” he said. “I admire their work, and to be selected to receive this type of recognition from the Hurston/Wright Foundation is extremely special.”

Pulitzer Prize-winner Isabel Wilkerson also won the Ella Baker Award. Her book “The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration” won the 2011 Hurston/Wright Award for nonfiction.

Wilkerson said she was thrilled to receive the award, named after Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, who were part of the Great Migration and took the same routes as two of the book’s protagonists. The book’s title was inspired by the words of Wright.

Wilkerson called the award ceremony a homecoming.

“This book has taken me all over the country,” she said, “but no city has a deeper personal meaning to me than Washington, because it is where my parents migrated, met, married and had me. Had they not joined the Great Migration, I, like millions of others, would not have had the opportunity to grow up on freer soil.”

Wilkerson told the audience earlier that she had spent 15 years working on her book. “I often say, ‘If this book were human, it would be in high school,” she said.

After the ceremony, Wilkerson stood near the stage in a red sheath dress, where she answered questions about the Great Migration, snapped photos with fans and encouraged aspiring writers, even as the staff began to put away food and clear tables.

The North Star Award went to U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey, author of “Thrall: Poems.”

“I am a poet deeply concerned with history and social justice,” Trethewey said in accepting the award. She cited another poet’s remark – “Poets need not be aiming for social change when they sit down to write, but it can be an outcome” – and added, “Tonight, I accept this award in pursuit of social justice and the idea that all of our work as writers is one of the most grand advocacies in that pursuit.”

Retailers share advice in dealing with kids Teen tired of family DEAR ABBY fishing trips to Utah

Dear Abby: I managed a retail store for 10 years, and I can relate to the shop owner who signed herself “Had It With Overindulged Kids” in a previous column. She could turn things around by creating a designated play area and market to the children by taking any opened items and placing them there for a children’s testing ground.

I had a “play table” with toys to keep them busy while their moms shopped. I put a gated area around it and a dads’ bench in front of it so they could watch the children.

They are your customers. So, cater to them and be thankful the parents shop in your store. Learn the children’s names and suggest new age-appropriate products.

If you don’t have the time, hire someone who loves children and has the patience to play with them. – Joyce From Michigan Dear Joyce: Thank you for the helpful advice. Customers and retailers alike shared their experiences. Many of them questioned whether the children always mis-

Jeanne Phillips

behaved this badly in public and blamed their behavior on today’s parenting skills – or lack thereof.

Here’s a sampling: Dear Abby: I shopped at a local store for years, but gave up when the place seemed overrun by unruly children and distracted parents. Out of desperation, I took a job there and vowed to find a way to make the parents rein in their youngsters.

One: I posted a sign that read, “IF YOU BREAK IT, YOU BOUGHT IT.” If they refused, I didn’t push the issue, but I did gesture upward. They would always look up, and when they did, I’d thank them for smiling at our cameras.

Two: Any child found unaccompanied would be escorted to our customer service area and the parents paged repeatedly until

they showed up.

Since I instituted these policies, the condition of the store has improved, the morale of the employees has improved and sales have risen. – Survivor Of Retail Dear Abby: You mentioned posting a sign at the cash register. No, Abby, it should be at the entrance, so parents see it at the time they walk in.

Or how about a different sign: “Well-Behaved Children Will Win a Prize,” then rewarding such children with a small gift? It would be worth the expense of small tokens of appreciation compared to the cost of broken merchandise.

I sympathize with “Had It.” Parents often take kids on outings, believing they’re spending quality time with them. But I see parents ignore their children and spend their time on electronic gadgets, leaving the unsupervised youngsters to run amok. – Gloria In Lafayette, Calif.

‘Almost anxiety’ is treated with diet, sleep and exercise Dear Doctor K: I’ve always worried a lot. I saw a psychologist, but she said I didn’t have anxiety disorder, so she couldn’t help. I can’t believe there’s nothing to do. Can you help?

Dear Reader: I don’t agree with your doctor. I’ve talked before in this space about how doctors typically define diseases by how they appear in their most extreme form. I call it the “tip of the iceberg” phenomenon. Doctors have certain criteria for what constitutes an anxiety disorder. I assume your doctor has checked those criteria and decided that you don’t have enough of them to “qualify” for the diagnosis.

You may not have an anxiety disorder, but it sounds as though the nagging, worrisome thoughts in your mind may be distracting you from the positive, enjoyable experiences all around you. If so, there are ways to help you.

There’s a newly emerging term for this gray zone that falls between “normal” anxiety and a full-blown anxiety disorder.

It’s called “almost anxiety.” In their illuminating new book, “Almost Anxious,” my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Luana Marques with Eric Metcalf explore the idea of almost anxiety and introduce a set of skills you can use to keep it at bay. (You

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff can find out more about the book on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

As discussed in “Almost Anxious,” the first needs that usually go unanswered when people are stressed are the things that actually keep anxiety at bay.

These include proper nutrition, sleep and exercise. You may see how these things could be good for your health in general, yet doubt that they could affect anxiety. You shouldn’t doubt it: They can help.

Let’s start with nutrition. People who are a little anxious tend to reach for unhealthy “comfort” food. Or they completely avoid food, skipping meals or even fasting. The healthier road – and one that will also help tame your anxiety – is to eat wholesome foods on a regular schedule. How does nutrition help fight “almost anxiety”? It may be as simple as this: An unhealthy diet contributes to feeling unwell – and then worrying that you may have a serious disease, such as an undiagnosed cancer.

Next on the list is sleep. Being

sleep-deprived can significantly raise your anxiety level. But there’s good scientific evidence that good sleep can help control anxiety.

If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, try the following: • Use your bed for sleep and sex only.

• Get out of bed if you can’t fall asleep after 20 minutes.

• Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

• Don’t nap during the day.

• Don’t drink alcohol close to bedtime.

Finally, get regular exercise.

Simply moving at a moderate pace has a big effect on anxiety.

Aim for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise five days a week. We don’t understand just how it is that regular exercise reduces anxiety, but there is good scientific evidence that it does.

Just deciding to take action to deal with your anxious feelings is itself therapeutic. Being “almost anxious” can interfere with your life, but there are simple and natural (and inexpensive) ways to treat the condition.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 years old, and I’m writing to you because I’m tired of the same old vacation every year. For the last five years the only place we’ve gone on vacation was to a lonely lake in Utah. We go there every summer, and now my folks said we’ll go there again this year. There’s nothing else to do there and all we do is rent a cabin and a boat and go out on the lake every day to fish.

My dad, brother and even my mom love to go fishing, but I hate fish and I hate worms. We go out at daybreak and fish all day with a short 30-minute break for lunch. We come off the lake at sunset.

I’ve told my family I hate these fishing trips and would like to go on a real vacation for a change, maybe to Disneyland, or Disneyworld, but I’m out-voted, 3-1.

Don’t you think I should have some say in where our family goes for a family vacation? – Lorie, Phoenix, Ariz.

Dear Lorie: I’m on your side. All family members should enjoy family travel and it’s up to Mom and Dad to make sure a vacation has something for everyone, even if it’s only a stop for a day at an amusement park or museum of interest for those who are not fond of fishing.

If your parents refuse to give up their fishing jaunt just once to work in a different type of vacation, at least they could do a little research and come up with a new fishing spot that has other options nearby, such as horseback riding, bicycling, hiking, tennis, golf, movies, restaurants and, of course, shops.

Perhaps you could

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace initiate the research before your next vacation and convince the family to visit a new fishing hole. It’s hardly fair of them to force you, in the name of fun, to participate in something you hate.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and have an 18-year-old sister. She has been dating a guy who has a 16-yearold sister. I know her from my church group and she is extra nice.

Last week she said to me, “Why don’t we go to a movie sometime?”

I was surprised because I had been thinking the same thing, so I told her I would call her.

When I got home I told my sister about it, but she got all upset and said she wouldn’t let me go out with her. When I spoke with my parents they both agreed with my sister.

I’d like to hear what you think because I’m kind of shy and have never dated before and it would be nice to start with someone I already know. – Nameless, Batavia Dear Nameless: There is no reason why you shouldn’t go out with this girl. This would be a great opportunity for you to start dating – you already know her and the two of you seem to like each other.

I can understand the objection the rest of your family has, but it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. Your relationship with the girl need have no effect on your sister’s relationship with her boyfriend.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Tuesday, October 29, 2013

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Our friend A.N. Other said, “Don’t gamble unless you can afford to lose, and if you can afford to lose, you don’t have to gamble.”

At the bridge table, unless you are playing in a pair event, where overtricks can be valuable, do not gamble your contract. Just take the guaranteed line to get home.

Today’s deal would not only snare gamblers, but would also catch out those who play too quickly at trick one.

The bidding went off the rails slightly when it did not end in three no-trump. South was propelled into five clubs.

After West guessed well to lead a diamond, what should declarer have done?

North’s two-heart bid was fourth-suit game-forcing. His three-club continuation was reasonable because six clubs could have been a good contract if South had, say, 4-3-1-5 shape.

But over South’s three hearts, North should have bid three no-trump.

With only one top loser, the trump ace, it looks safe to take the diamond finesse at trick one. However, if East wins and shifts to a heart, suddenly five clubs has no chance.

Instead, South should win the first trick with dummy’s ace and attack trumps. Let’s assume East takes the second round and switches to a heart. Declarer wins with his ace, unblocks dummy’s two spades, plays a trump to his hand, discards dummy’s remaining hearts on his ace-jack of spades, ruffs the heart jack on the board, and claims, conceding one diamond and one club.
