Park district’s fall events make for ghoulishly good time

By CAROL HAGGAS editorial@kcchronicle.com “Stop! You’re scaring me!”

If the thought of marauding zombies, ghostly specters and spooky mansions makes your blood curdle with devilish anticipation, then October in St. Charles is right up your anguished alley. There’s a whole month of mysterious goings-on, tame enough to tickle even the youngest trickor-treater and wild enough to wow those who like their Halloween fun on the macabre side.

Avoiding zombies at all costs should be sufficient motivation to score a winning time in the “Run for Your Life” 5K zombie run/walk at Primrose Farm on the afternoon of Oct. 19. Who knows what will lurk around the next bend in a farm field? Not all

nightmares take place on Elm Street, after all. Whether one runs as a zombie or walks as a victim, costumes are encouraged and creativity rewarded with gruesomely appropriate prizes. Volunteers from Steel Beam Theatre will be on site to help all humans transform into zombies, with free makeup stations; even latex scars and wounds will be applied.

Ghoulish wear and other festive costumes will be available to buy. Stick around afterward for campfire refreshments and a moonlight hayride. (Just to make sure all the zombies are off the premises!)

But a ride through farm fields at the height of the fall harvest doesn’t have to be a scary event. Bring the family our for a night of old-fashioned fun as Primrose Farm hosts tractor-driven hayrides by the light of the silvery moon

Thirty-minute tours will be followed by bonfires for marshmallow roasts, hot chocolate and mulled cider. That

Batavia’s Honey-Jam Cafe set to reopen

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The Honey-Jam Cafe, at 521 N. Randall Road in Batavia, is set to reopen in early November after the restaurant was closed for almost a year.

“We received a tremendous amount of feedback from disappointed customers after it was closed, so we worked on getting a brand-new management team together and will soon be ready to reopen,” wrote Patty Sullivan in an email Wednesday.

Sullivan is executive assistant to Dick Portillo, founder of The Portillo Restaurant Group, which owns Honey-Jam Cafe.

In the email, Sullivan wrote that Honey-Jam Cafe, which serves breakfast and lunch, is set to reopen on Nov. 3 or Nov. 4. It is located next to a Portillo’s restaurant.

The restaurant closed in late October 2013. At that time, Sullivan said the restaurant closed partly because of increased competition in the area and partly because of changes with the Affordable

Care Act. Honey-Jam Cafe originally opened in August 2010.

Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke said it was good news the restaurant is reopening.

Signs for Honey-Jam Cafe recently reappeared on the building.

Batavia Planning and Zoning Officer Joel Strassman said the city recently issued a building permit for the signs.

The restaurant’s menu includes such fare as pancakes, skillets, omelets, waffles, French toast, burgers, wraps and homemade soups.

Honey-Jam Cafe, located at 521 N. Randall Road in Batavia, is set to reopen in early November. The cafe, owned by The Portillo Restaurant Group, had closed in October 2013.

Batavia officials discuss crumbling dam

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – City officials are taking another look at what to do with the crumbling dam, which is located just north of the Batavia Riverwalk in downtown Batavia.

“The dam is falling apart,” Batavia City Administrator Bill McGrath told aldermen at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. “Over the last five years, there’s been some real change.”

The dam, built about a century ago by Challenge Windmill Company, is near the Batavia Riverwalk. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources in the past has talked about removing the

1840 S Mill St 18 Batavia Bat 630.326.9277 630

dam in an effort to improve water quality and aquatic life, and also because it no longer is functional.

Batavia residents, in an advisory referendum several years ago, voted by a 2-1 margin to keep the dam.

“They [state officials] will not come and take the dam down if the community doesn’t want them to take it down,” McGrath said.

Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke said the dam continues to pose a danger.

“We have had at least two deaths because of the dam,” Schielke said. “That dam can be a very dangerous instrument in town.”

McGrath said total removal of the dam would affect the

nearby Depot Pond. Schielke has said Depot Pond should be closed off, and a pumping system should be installed to ensure its existence.

In order to examine the issue, McGrath suggested that a citizen commission could be created. He noted such a commission had been created to examine the waste transfer station issue.

Seventh Ward Alderman Dave Brown said he liked the idea of an advisory commission.

WHAT YOUR EYE COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU

ENDS OCTOBER 19, 2014

What, if anything, does eye color say about you other than its obvious cosmetic statement?

Recently, scientists at the University of Pittsburgh may have found some answers when they discovered that women with blue or green eyes seem to tolerate pain and distress better than those with brown or hazel eyes. The reason for this may likely be that the genes responsible for eye color also play roles in other body processes.

For instance, the genes linked to melanin, which is the pigment that makes eyes darker, have been associated with pain. Melanin may also make brown-eyed individuals more susceptible to the effects of alcohol. It seems that your eye color says more about you than you might think.

P.S. Until a genetic mutation occurred in a single individual that resulted in blue eyes 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, all humans had brown eyes.

COVER STORY

A 1,000-MILE VOYAGE Men reflect on canoe journey

By KARA SILVA ksilva@shawmedia.com Sixty-nine days was the length of the trip, and surreal was the word used to describe the moment when Aurora residents Nolan McClelland, 22, and Pete Stadalsky, 25, paddled a few final strokes into the Gulf of Mexico, marking the end of their 1,000-mile voyage.

Pulling their green, Old Town Penobscot Canoe to the Alabama shore on Aug. 31, the two friends threw their paddles “as far as they could” and hugged one another, while the gravity of their achievement sank in.

“It was quite a cool feeling to know that we accomplished the entirety of what we set out to do,” McClelland said. “It was the best experience of my life.”

Their journey began June 27 at Fontana Lake, on the border of Tennessee and North Carolina, where the duo maneuvered the Tennessee River and Tombigbee Waterway, heading south through Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the Gulf via Mobile, Alabama. The trip, dubbed Paddle to Cure Diabetes, was dedicated to the men’s fathers, both of whom were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. McClelland and Stadalsky raised $10,700 for the American Diabetes Association, surpassing their initial $10,000 goal.

Although the men are happy to be in the company of friends and family once again, Stadalsky said being home has been a difficult transition.

“Coming home, it definitely has shifted a lot of things in my life and made me rethink about the things I’m doing,” Stadalsky said. “I miss the wilderness, but then again, if I don’t come back, I can’t share the miracle with people and everything I learned.”

ABOVE: Nolan McClelland (left) and Pete Stadalsky give a thumbs-up for their 1,000-mile canoe trip, dubbed Paddle to Cure Diabetes. LEFT: Tombigbee the cat, a stray that McClelland and Stadalsky found along the Tombigbee Waterway, joined the duo halfway through their 1,000-mile journey via canoe.

Stadalsky and McClelland still have the cat with them at their home in Aurora.

During the trip, Stadalsky, who studied creative writing in college, blogged and kept a detailed journal, which he hopes to turn into a book about his adventure. McClelland will contribute to the project by providing water color and ink illustrations.

“I’m really excited to write it,” Stadalsky said, adding that he thinks it will take a year to complete.

Undoubtedly, one of the book’s lead characters will be the furry critter that joined the two-man crew halfway through the trip, along the Tombigbee Waterway.

“We heard this sound, it was so obnoxious,” McClelland said of the animal that turned out to be a roughly 6-week-old, orange kitten that

was alone in the woods.

With no fear of water, Stadalsky said that after attempting to feed the kitten by throwing food on shore, it jumped into the river and swam toward the canoe – not once, but twice – before they decided to let it stay on board.

The cat, which they named Tombigbee after the river on which they found him, had fleas and more than 200 ticks.

After, the cat received veterinary medical attention, the men continued on in their canoe, kitten in tow.

“I felt like a mother the first week, I was all worried about where he was going,” Stadalsky said, adding the cat only ran away once.

The leash-less cat traveled alongside Stadalsky and Mc-

Clelland for the rest of their trip, which entailed paddling 25 miles in a canoe each day and sleeping in hammocks under the stars at night. Tombigbee the cat currently lives with Stadalsky and McClelland at their Aurora residence.

The more harrowing parts of their journey consisted of Stadalsky contracting an “unknown” illness that landed him in the hospital; paddling 12-hour days in temperatures reaching above 100 degrees; daylong portages; being “annihilated by bugs”; and shot at by a “man in overalls” for trespassing, Stadalsky said.

Although, an arduous journey at times, the trip also divulged what Stadalsky refers to as, “The Great Mystery.”

“It’s kind of like a meta-

phor for a lot of things in life I used,” Stadalsky said, adding “The Great Mystery” can be construed as a God or the “universe.” “You just have to have this sense of trust out there because you don’t have as many resources as you do in civilization. It’s a big lesson in acceptance and letting things go. When you start letting go of trying to control everything, you start to fade into ‘The Great Mystery.’ Things kind of just work out. Everything you need is supplied for. ... And that’s kind of how the whole trip was.”

Another overarching theme of the trip was the essential goodness of people, and their “capacity to be kind,” Stadalsky said.

“Sometimes you get the idea that people aren’t good, I guess,” Stadalsky said. “And I don’t really think that’s the case. I think you see what you want to see. We were really open going into this trip, and that’s why a lot of good came into it.”

The men agreed that the best part about the trip was the people they met along the way.

People who took them in provided a bed in which to sleep, a hot meal to eat, a shower, equipment when needed, money for necessities and companionship and conversation.

“One of the things I realized is that there is a big difference between being polite and being kind,” Stadalsky said. “A lot of people down there, it seemed like they really wanted to be kind, because they looked at me and wondered what it was like to be in my shoes for a minute, and then treated me accordingly. ... Just how many people [that] went out of their way to help us out, was unbelievable.”

McClelland agreed.

“I don’t know where it comes from, but we all seem to have this subliminal mentality that people are bad, that there are no good people out there,” McClelland said. “And there was almost no evidence of that the entire [trip].”

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Stephen LeMaire, a former Geneva streets and fleet superintendent who pleaded guilty in 2012 to theft charges, has kept up his restitution payments to the city of Geneva, records show.

LeMaire owed the city $28,478.10 under the terms of his restitution and has made 26 payments totaling $7,450, records show. He still owes $21,028.10, according to records released under the Freedom of Information Act. LeMaire, 57, of Elburn, had been a city employee for 33 years. He had been charged with using a city credit card to make more than $24,000 worth of unauthorized purchases from Feb. 14, 2006, to Jan. 1, 2012.

Under the terms of his plea agreement, LeMaire must

pay restitution to Geneva at a minimum rate of $200 a month. He also was assessed a $2,250 fine, which was paid at the same time as his first $200 restitution payment on July 13, 2012, records show.

The restitution, community service and other terms were agreed to in exchange for a guilty plea to one felony count of theft.

In an email comment about LeMaire’s repayment schedule, city officials said that he was on schedule with his payments.

“Restitution is being paid as per the court order,” the city’s email states.

Records show he paid the fine and the first $200 payment July 13, 2012, then made an $800 payment Nov. 9, 2012, with a notation that it was a payment adjustment, and another payment Dec. 19, 2012.

LeMaire continued his payments every month in

2013, though records show he skipped in January 2014, but he made up for it with two $200 payments in one month, on May 14 and May 19.

He continued with one payment a month to date, with the most recent recorded $200 payment made on Sept. 24, according to the city’s records.

Under the agreement, LeMaire ’s repayment plan does not include interest. Officials said at the time that their goal was to get the city’s money back.

At the time, city officials said that Geneva had unwritten practices in place regarding authorization of the use of city-issued credit cards.

8 Ex-Geneva streets superintendent keeps up with restitution payments

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A 23-yearold Schaumburg man faces a felony charge, as well as several lesser charges, after leaving a traffic stop in St. Charles early Monday, according to a St. Charles police report.

The motorist, DeAngelo Cain, of the 1100 block of North Plum Grove Road, Schaumburg, raised an officer’s suspi-

cion when, about 1:45 a.m. Monday, he turned off East Main Street and entered a private parking lot for several businesses that were closed at DeAngelo Cain that time, police reported.

After learning the Hyundai’s registration expired last month, the officer conducted

ported. He reportedly ignored the lights and sirens behind him. Police tried to trap him in a parking lot, but Cain eluded their efforts and continued to West Chicago, where the pursuit ended, police reported.

Police, however, still had an identification card of Cain’s, and Cain eventually was arrested, police reported. Police searched his vehicle but reportedly did not find the marijuana the officer saw earlier.

Cain was charged with felony aggravated fleeing and eluding police. He also was charged with obstructing police, driving with an expired registration, driving without insurance, driving without his driver’s license on his person, screeching tires, improper lane use and two counts of disobeying a traffic control device.

Cain was taken to jail. Online records showed Cain remained in custody Wednesday.

GENEVA – A group of about 20 people picketed Wednesday afternoon at the Geneva office of U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, protesting because he has not agreed to participate in a candidate forum with Democratic challenger Dennis Anderson, a Gurnee resident.

Members of the League of Women Voters organizations of Central Kane County, the Elgin Area, McHenry County and DeKalb County said they asked Hultgren several times to take part in a forum before the Nov. 4 general election, but neither Hultgren nor his staff would respond with a date.

Asked via email about why he hadn’t agreed on a forum date, Hultgren wrote that when he sat next to Anderson at the Kane County Chronicle editorial board, the differences between them about the role of government couldn’t be clearer.

“It’s to be seen whether or not another forum is necessary after my opponent outlined his big government, big taxes philosophy that is robbing hardworking Americans of having a better life than

said that as the area’s representative, Hultgren should be willing to debate Anderson.

“He should be allowing us to ask him questions to find out where he stands on issues and to defend or support his voting record,” Montes said. “And I don’t understand how he cannot be willing to come to a debate, to not allow his constituents to ... ask him questions.”

Batavia resident Kim Liang, 30, said it would not be fair to voters if Hultgren would not participate in a candidate forum.

“I think his constituents would like to see him debate,” Liang said. “He keeps getting elected and elected. I feel like he’s refusing because he thinks he’s a shoe-in.”

Various signs challenged

Hultgren on several issues, including that he voted repeatedly to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Protesters said they wanted the issues to be aired out in a public forum.

Huntley resident Jan Miller, 71, said a candidate forum is an important way for voters to be informed.

“This is the reason we would like Randy Hultgren to debate Dennis Anderson, so that the voters have a chance to hear both the candidate and the incumbent on important issues,” Miller said.

Patti Lackman, acting president of the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County, said the organization is non-partisan but frustrated that it could not schedule Hultgren for a forum.

“Then the voters don’t know where the candidates stand ... on the issues, and then you don’t know what you are voting for,” Lackman said.

At 17, he dropped out of school, left home and got a job. Over the next few years, he says that his drug use increasingly got in the way of his work and relationships, even causing him to miss work and lose interest in favorite past times. But what finally got Brian into addiction treatment was a deepening depression.

“I was used to being down on myself, but now I even had suicidal thoughts,” he says. “I didn’t think I’d act on them, but I knew I needed help.”

At the Edward Hospital ER, Brian underwent a psychological assessment.

A Linden Oaks at Edward counselor, in consultation with a psychiatrist, recommended Brian start treatment in Linden Oaks’ partial hospitalization program, which runs Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.

These seven brothers and sisters have a passion for creating compelling music and so, have collaborated one another’s gifts of writing, composing and musicianship to endeavor that.

Brian, 23, remembers his teens as a “blur of partying.” He says the fuzziness is a product of years of using marijuana daily, with occasional use of other drugs.

“Brian’s situation illustrates some of the problems that can occur with marijuana use,” says Beth Sack, manager, addiction services at Linden Oaks. She says that the level of TCH — pot’s primary mind-altering ingredient — was 3.76 percent in 1995.

Today it’s 15 percent. “Some people do become both psychologically and physically dependent,” she confirms.

Patients in Linden Oaks’ partial hospitalization program participate in group and individual therapy, daily meditation and addiction education sessions. When there is a dual diagnosis, such as chemical dependency and depression, the person receives treatment for both issues.

Brian will soon finish his partial hospitalization program. Follow-up will include individual sessions with his therapist and NA (Narcotics Anonymous). “The program already has helped me big time,” says Brian.

“The group process helped me get over some of my shyness and social anxiety. If I were the adult me talking to my younger self I would say, ‘I know pot has a reputation as an innocent drug, but if you have a genetic background and an addictive personality like I do, it can mess up your head.

And the window of being able to stop it can close quickly.’”

A.B.A.T.E. Toy and Food run set for Sunday

• FALL EVENTS Continued from page 2 ghostly homes on the annual “Gallery of Ghoulish Homes Tour” that starts with a preview night Oct. 17 and runs through Halloween. Homeowners who are possessed with a passion for Halloween will compete for awards across several creepy categories, from “Eeriest Haunt” to “Big Scare on a Low Budget.” Go online to get a tour guide of some of the spookiest homes in town, and prepare to be bedazzled by homes that will make the Addams Family’s gruesome mansion look positively charming.

Scary homes and buildings don’t seem to be a part of beautiful downtown St. Charles when one is running errands, dining out or driving through in the daytime. But at night, it’s a different city, one with ghostly tales to tell. Master storytellers Lara and Scott Piner will lead guided tours through some of St. Charles’ most ghostly historic and – just possibly – haunted buildings. Stroll through the streets by lantern light on the evening of Oct. 17 and learn about scenes from the city’s more terrifying past. The tour’s final eerie stop will be a downtown St. Charles pub, where it’s a pretty safe bet that the drink special will either be a Zombie or Bloody Mary!

A harrowing home of another sort takes center stage Oct. 25, at the “Murder Mystery Mansion – Dracula’s Castle.”

Cross the threshold at Geneva’s Oscar Swan Inn and adopt another identity – that of murderer or victim. A crime will unfold before the night is through, and the success of solving a murder case depends on one’s keen powers of observation and highly skilled deductive reasoning.

Dinner and cocktails can help loosen a few tongues as clues are collected from fellow witnesses and suspects alike. Dress in costume to help get into the spirit of things. It takes a big person to admit they’re scared of the littlest sounds, but what if those sounds are coming from something that’s pretty darn big itself? Big like in Bigfoot big. He’s out there, you know.

Or at least there’s a pretty good chance he will be at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center on the night of Oct. 18. Join staff as they comb the woods and fields

searching for this mysterious creature during their second annual Gone Squatchin’ celebration. Discover the places he haunts, learn how he lives and what he eats. (And hope it isn’t you!) Scary grounds of

another type are in store at the KC Scaregrounds production

by St. Charles’ acclaimed Steel Beam Theatre as they host their popular 3-D Haunted House production on weekends beginning Friday. There are dozens of new

frightening features, including two monster-free versions, suitable for the littlest Halloween fans from 4 to 7 p.m. Oct. 19, and Oct. 26. Now in its fourth year, the production promises to be a howlin’ good time. For details,

Hi, my name is All right, so I dedicate this entire first column to whoever came up with the idea that taking risks pays off.

It was merely a month ago when my creative writing teacher told my class there was an open high school position for the Kane County Chronicle.

I remember sitting in my uncomfortable classroom chair, freezing because of my school’s messed up heating system (that’s another story), and daydreaming of what could be.

And, oh my, look at me now.

So hello, I’m Denise Cartina, and I think it’s appropriate if I state my entire life story. I’m a Taurus; I swear half my wardrobe is the color blue; and I’m kind of a perfectionist. I enjoy listening to the same dozen songs on repeat until I get sick of them, and I cherish the occasional get-togethers with my friends when I can share a cold peanut butter shake and laugh about absolutely nothing.

Oh, and I love bows, too. Bows are lovely.

All jokes aside, I’m currently a senior at Batavia High School. Right now, I feel like my life currently revolves around college searching, filling out applications, applying for scholarships and worrying about my future. Don’t worry, I still manage to perform daily life routines like homework, showering and eating. I mean, I still have plenty of months to fully figure out my life aspirations. I’m sure it’ll all fall into place, right?

Honestly, I just want to make it to the end of the week without any commotion.

Through my school, I participate in various activities.

I’m currently the vice president of a volunteer group called Interact Club. We’re a relaxed group of individuals who thrive off the energy of helping the community while bonding over the warm, fuzzy feeling that frequently develops when assisting people in need.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina I’m also a member of my school’s Spanish Honor Society. The members and I often participate in fiestas and movie nights, chow down on salty chips and spicy salsa during meetings, and sometimes we actually do speak in Spanish.

Outside of school, on Saturdays during the spring and fall time, you can find me reliving my childhood dream of becoming a superstar soccer player.

Just kidding, I knew that vision was crushed once I grasped just how competitive and intense people can get while kicking a soccer ball. For the past few years, I’ve simply been a soccer referee for little kids.

I’m technically the boss of the game, and I get to teach young children how to play soccer.

But when it comes down to it, writing is my top hobby.

While my peers often groan over writing school papers, I love them. Growing up, I always adored writing ridiculous short stories with wacky characters and plots. I even used to make pretend town newspapers every week with articles and silly pictures. Of course, I always forced my family to read them, because if they didn’t then nobody would have.

Now, I often treasure my free time at 10:30 at night when I can just write while I listen to cheesy pop music for inspiration. See, without writing, the only other option would be for me to actually go to bed.

• Denise Cartina is a senior at Batavia High School. In addition to writing, she enjoys watching sappy romantic comedies, eating peanut butter and keeping elegance alive. Contact her at editorial@kcchronicle. com.

EDITORIAL

ANOTHER VIEW

Paying for our wars THE WASHINGTON POST The cost of the new U.S. military operation in Iraq and Syria already is approaching $1 billion, according to a study released last week. The Pentagon has meanwhile launched a $750 million mission to fight Ebola in Africa and has committed to rotating U.S. troops through NATO countries bordering Russia. These are all justified initiatives with broad support from Congress and the public. But the budgetary foundation needed to sustain them is crumbling.

President Barack Obama’s abrupt reversal of his policy of winding down U.S. foreign military engagements follows years of sweeping cuts in the defense budget. Since 2010, defense spending has been slashed 21

percent in real terms, according to the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, which also produced last week’s war cost study.

In the short term, the new war against the Islamic State and the Ebola mission in West Africa will be covered out of the fund Congress appropriates every year to cover “overseas contingency operations.” But even that budget has come under pressure: The Defense Department’s original request of $58.6 billion for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 was down by a quarter from the year just ended.

The undeniable reality, as a bipartisan commission created by Congress recently concluded, is that the 2011 budget plan was a “serious strategic misstep” that has hamstrung the Pentagon’s

ability to respond to the multiple international crises of this year.

The problem will surely worsen as the war against the Islamic State – which Obama and military leaders have said is likely to last for years – deepens.

Some of the war costs could be covered if Congress were to accept the simple, common-sense changes in military health care spending and retirement costs the Obama administration has repeatedly proposed, along with base closures and cuts in the civilian and contractor workforce. But even an unlikely end to the bipartisan political opportunism that prevents such reforms would leave the Pentagon underfunded by hundreds of billions of dollars in the coming years.

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.

Elgin native wins Emmy for work on ‘Shark Tank’ Parents of producer Heather Dreiling live in St. Charles

By ERIC SCHELKOPF

Schelkopf: You had no idea you were going to win, but do you think your parents gave you some luck?

Dreiling: Yeah, I would say so. I would say they are my good luck charm. They should fly out here every year I get nominated.

eschelkopf@shawmedia.com Elgin native Heather M. Dreiling’s work is seen by millions of television viewers a week.

Dreiling is a producer for the popular television show “Shark Tank,” which features a panel of potential investors, called “sharks,” who consider offers from aspiring entrepreneurs seeking investments for their businesses or products.

Dreiling, 33, a 1999 graduate of Larkin High School, in August received an Emmy for her work on the show.

It was her first Emmy nomination, and her parents, who live in St. Charles, were in the audience at the ceremony in Los Angeles to watch her take home the award.

Kane County Chronicle reporter Eric Schelkopf had the chance to talk to Dreiling, who now lives in Los Angeles, about the show.

Eric Schelkopf: Congratulations on the Emmy win. I understand you are in your third season with “Shark Tank.” What drew you to the project in the first place?

Heather Dreiling: I’ve been working out here for about nine years on different shows. I’m a freelance producer, so I just kind of go from job to job. I was working on “So You Think You Can Dance,” and I got the interview for the job.

I got the job, and it worked out schedule-wise. This is by far my favorite show that I have ever done.

Schelkopf: What is it about the show that appeals to you?

Dreiling: It’s just really neat to watch the entrepreneurs grow. They start out as a small business when they apply for the show. I work with them, and they fly out here for their pitch, and hopefully get a deal.

For the ones who get a deal and are do-

Schelkopf: What do you think gave “Shark Tank” the edge?

Dreiling: I just think the show has gotten more popular. And I’ve heard from a lot of people that watch the show that it’s very family-oriented. A lot of families sit down and watch it together.

Schelkopf: For people who might not know what a producer does, what are some of your duties?

Dreiling: That’s a good question, because it changes on every show I work on. With “Shark Tank,” it’s getting the entrepreneurs as comfortable as possible to pitch in the tank.

All during the week, I schedule calls with the entrepreneurs and answer any questions that they have. It’s really getting them prepared to come out here to pitch in front of the sharks.

Elgin native Heather Dreiling, a producer for the television show “Shark Tank,” received an Emmy in August for her work on the show. ing well, it’s really nice to see them doing well. It’s a rewarding job in that sense.

Schelkopf: To get the Emmy for “Outstanding Structured Reality Program,” that must have been quite the thrill. What was it like standing on stage?

Dreiling: I barely remember it. It was kind of a blur.

I had no expectations, because we had been nominated before, and we hadn’t

won. I hadn’t been included in the nominations, but the show had been nominated before.

So, you never know. I didn’t have any expectations, but I obviously wanted to win, just because both my parents were there.

And it was pretty amazing that we did. My mom screamed when it was announced.

Schelkopf: You’ve worked on a lot of reality shows, including “Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy” and “CMT’s Next Superstar.” What appeals to you about reality shows?

Dreiling: I think the interview portion, talking to people, getting to know them.

That’s my favorite part.

All the reality shows are laced with sitdown interviews, where they talk about what happened and how they’re feeling. I enjoy that portion of it.

Schelkopf: The reality television genre has been going strong for a while. What do you think the appeal is?

Dreiling: I think it’s people gravitating toward other people.

Feel like family at St. Charles’ Sushi Yama ST. CHARLES – Armed with chopsticks in one hand and a Chinese soup spoon in the other, I used both to ladel steamy broth, slurp noodles and shovel shrimp and vegetables into my mouth. A beautiful swirling of fresh, mildly spicy (using the restaurant’s special spice blend) and earthy flavors came together to make Sushi Yama’s Nabe Yaki Udon soup with seafood, spinach, mushrooms and an egg, the perfect start to an affordable Japanese-style lunch.

Sushi Yama, a dine-in sushi restaurant and take-out spot that also provides fare for vegans and vegetarians, is situated in the corner of a strip mall east of the Fox River in St. Charles.

Having dined at Sushi Yama on two previous occasions for dinner (try the plum wine), I knew what to expect. And sure enough, what I loved about Sushi Yama on my two previous visits, they surely delivered on the third.

Customer service is key at Sushi Yama. It has some of the nicest people working there.

Every time I go, I am greeted and served by genuinely warm, salt-of-the-earth people who are eager to please and make your dining experience the very best it can be.

Restaurants are plentiful in St. Charles, and difficult economic times sometimes tend to suck the customer service right out of place – putting the dollar before the diner. Sushi Yama could never be accused of such behavior, at least in my experience.

The restaurant has a sushi bar, dining room and two tatami rooms.

For a more traditional sushi experience, try a tatami room.

Each room can seat roughly six to eight people and can be closed off by a shoji – a traditional Japanese room divider or door consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood – for added privacy. You must remove your shoes before entering, and the table and seating is raised so that you can either sit on a cushion with

On a recommendation, we ordered our waitress’ favorite: The Crunchy Roll (a specialty roll for $9.50) with “spicy super white” and avocado, with tempura flake topping. We also opted for the House Roll ($8), a fresh, more health-conscious choice that consisted of smoked salmon, cucumber, avocado, massago and shrimp.

The list of specialty rolls is long; there are more than 20.

WHAT TO WATCH

IHSA CLASS AA BURLINGTON CENTRAL REGIONAL

North’s 1-2 punch clicks for title Sophomores Furrie, Lillie help North reign at Sycamore Golf Club

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – Gianna Furrie thanked Burlington Central athletic officials Wednesday as the Sycamore Golf Club grill emptied of girls golfers, coaches, family members and food wrappers.

Moments earlier, the tables were turned, as a full house watched and applauded the St. Charles North sophomore for her medalist effort that ignited a team victory.

Furrie’s even-par 70 led North to a 338 at the Class AA Burlington Central Regional, and the first team state series plaque in her short career felt like everything else: A progression.

“Definitely, it’s been a lot more smooth this year,” Furrie said. “Last year, it was kind of, not hoping, but now I know that I’m able to do it, so it’s easier for me to go out there and feel a lot more confident in myself.”

Furrie hadn’t played at Sycamore Golf Club before Wednesday. She and her father, Shawn, had aimed for a practice round Sunday, but the only open tee times were during classes Tuesday.

Behind burgeoning self-assuredness – “Just kind of went as it came,” she said – Furrie helped steer North to more familiar surroundings. The North Stars competed at the site of Monday’s Conant Sectional, Fox Run in Elk Grove Village, in a season-opening invitational in August.

Runner-up Batavia (358) and third-place St. Charles East (359) will join the North Stars at Fox Run. Augmenting the Upstate Eight Conference River Division flavor, Geneva qualified four individuals after finishing one stroke behind the Saints.

North classmate Kate Lillie followed Furrie with a 76.

Then came Batavia’s Becca Hasemann, whose strong putting down the stretch keyed her round of 81. Lauren Anderson (90), Madi McCoy (92) and Emily Clark (95) were next for the Bulldogs, who worked to

“I was beyond ecstatic,” Batavia coach Tim Kauffmann said. “I couldn’t ask for anything else from my girls.”

East’s Kacie Gaffney matched usual Saints’ No. 1 Rose Bundy with an 88, snapping a self-described recent slump that hinged on the numbers game.

“When I’m out there, I try not to worry about my score,” Gaffney said. “If I get tempted to look at it, I put my card away, because if I add it up in my head, then it gets in my head. And I’m like, ‘Oh, I could shoot this. Shoot this.’ ” Nicole Jordan (89) and Brooke Brotzman (94) completed East’s scoring on a persistently windy day.

Although their rounds collectively went lower than North’s second two scorers – Gabi Spinazze (92) and Alina O’Donnell (100) – the North Stars benefited from their sophomore standouts shooting in the 70s.

“I’m just happy that we all get along,” Spinazze said.

“We’ve had a great year so far, and I couldn’t be any happier,

really. For me, as a senior, it’s so much fun to see everybody else interacting and stuff. It’s been fun, and we’ve gotten the job done.”

Two Geneva seniors led the Vikings’ contingent of individual sectional qualifiers, with Nicole Hassels’ 83 edging classmate Mary Clare Novak by one stroke.

Vikings juniors Natalie Saeger (96) and Reilly Krohe (97) also advanced.

Burlington Central junior Josie Kurosky qualified as an individual with an 84, two strokes off her personal best at her home course. Kurosky isn’t as in-tune with Fox Run, but she’s eager to channel past practice rounds and another one set for today.

“It helps quite a bit knowing how the greens are and where they’ll slope in some places,” Kurosky said.

Kaneland seniors Tori Guyton (89) and Julia VanGemert (94) also are sectional-bound as individuals, although both welcomed the chance to play as a Knights team in 2014 after competing unattached in past seasons.

On Tuesday, VanGemert’s younger brother, Knights

sophomore Jeff, won a playoff to earn the final individual qualifying spot from the 2A Mendota boys regional.

“He gave me motivation, because he said since he made it in a playoff hole, then I could for sure make it,” Julia VanGemert said. “Especially with him shooting what he shot, he thought that I for sure could.”

The Knights are familiar with Sycamore Golf Club, and relied on past competitive rounds in addition to practice rounds. For Hassels, playing the course beforehand almost worked in reverse.

“I didn’t do too well when we practiced here,” she said, “so it was good that I did better.”

Furrie, of course, had only her current stream of consciousness to guide her. No problem. From the time she and the North Stars arrived to her final thank you, she remained dialed in.

“The first nine holes were definitely kind of back and forth. Straight,” Furrie said.

“And then the second nine was a little more challenging, but there weren’t really any blind shots. You kind of knew what you were getting into.”

A big part of that learning experience was help from teammate and roommate Elizabeth Koberstein, who was a third-team All-American last season.

“I was learning behind an All-American setter. She was phenomenal, Elizabeth Koberstein,” Nilles said. “She transferred from Kentucky my freshman year, and she was just an unbelievable role model and volleyball player to learn from.

“Just kind of a court personality, just kind of learn who you are as a player on the court. I think we sometimes try to pretend to be somebody else that we’re not. And I’m still learning to figure out who I am on the court and what my role is out there. Something I haven’t been used to in a while, so it’s kind of been a work in progress. She’s been giving me tips and advice. She was my roommate, as well, so I’d kind of come back and relay some stories. And she gives me tips and advice, so that’s been really helpful, as well.”

But there’s more to learning than just what goes on the court, and that’s something that Nilles can point to experiencing while at Batavia.

“I learned a lot from a social aspect,” Nilles said of her days with the Bulldogs.

“Your team is your family.

And I loved the fact that at Batavia, you have this huge family effect. You are able to lean back on your teammates, and you have such incredible support from the school and the community. We get that at Marquette, as well. I think it’s been a really cool transition from both to kind of have the best of both worlds in school and in volleyball.”

Mary Nilles has been a Batavia High School graduate for almost three years.

But she’s calling this year her “first year out there” on the court for the Marquette women’s volleyball team.

A redshirt sophomore, Nilles has secured some regular playing time as a setter for the Golden Eagles.

And though she’s calling it a learning experience, she’s finding some success, too.

“There’s been kind of a bunch of ups and downs, and that’s kind of the nature of Division-I volleyball,” Nilles said.

“You make Mary Nilles mistakes and you have to come back out and get back out there and do your best to perform the best you can. It is definitely a learning experience is the definition of my first year out there.”

Her first year out there has seen her play in 14 of Marquette’s 16 matches, starting seven of them. She ranks second on the team with 237 assists.

But more so than those stats, this season has been about change for Nilles. The team went through a coaching change this offseason, and Nilles has also seen her role expand, and with that, her confidence grow.

“This year I’ve had to take on a more hands-on role, whereas before I’d be very encouraging on the sidelines, just learning, waiting to get my chance,” Nilles said.

“Now I’m playing, I’m on the court, and my job as a setter is to see the ball kind of like a quarterback and get the best set I can.”

“I’m learning more and more, still the confidence is building. It’s something that I believe that you are never going to be truly confident unless you’re an All-American superstar,” she continued.

“You’re constantly ready to improve to get that next step.

My confidence is definitely building, but I’m feeling more and more comfortable out there.”

Insider A closer look at prep golf

IN THE GROOVE

St. Charles North’s Michael Staszcuk tees off during the Oct. 2 Upstate Eight Conference meet at St. Andrews Golf Course in West Chicago.

NOTEWORTHY “Sectionals are going to be tough as an individual, but I’m looking forward to the experience of being this young, so that St. Charles North sophomore Michael Staszcuk exhaled with the final individual way, as I become a junior and a senior, I’ll have that experience under my belt qualifying berth from Tuesday’s IHSA Class 3A Geneva Regional at Mill Creek. that others won’t have,” Staszcuk said.

Now Batavia prepares for regional play at Prairie Bluff in Lockport, where the team competed in a Sept. 27 invitational.

Andrew Nelson paced the Bulldogs with a 76 then, but DeBruycker was firm that he and the rest of the team might realistically need to eclipse that score against tough competition.

“We’ve got six chances of going downstate. And like I’ve said, golf is weird, but we’re going to have to play a lot better,” DeBruycker said.

Wait and see Asked whether his first sectional berth was the highlight of his prep career to date, St. Charles East senior Ronnie Griggs offered a quick yet conditional response.

“Right now, it is,” Griggs said. “I’m hoping to have more highlight rounds than this. Do better at sectionals, and hopefully go down as a team to state.”

COMING ATTRACTION Boys and girls fields for Monday’s IHSA sectionals are set.

In a few more days, team and individual qualifiers for the Oct. 17 and 18 state meets will be confirmed, too.

Boys state tournament sites are: Prairie Vista in Bloomington

(Class 1A), Weibring in Normal (Class 2A) and The Den at Fox Creek in Bloomington (Class 3A).

The girls Class A meet will be held at Red Tail Run in Decatur, with the Class AA meet set for Hickory Point in Forysth.

GIANNA FURRIE ST. CHARLES NORTH. SO. What she did: Fired an even-par 70 at Wednesday’s Class AA Burlington Central Regional, earning medalist honors as North shot a winning 338 on a windy day to advance to Monday’s Conant Sectional.

“I think I definitely got used to [the wind],” Furrie said, “and just playing in it this time of year helped.”

SPENCER MONROE GENEVA, SO. What he did: Playing on the Vikings’ and his own home course – his family lives adjacent to Mill Creek’s first hole – Monroe was medalist at Tuesday’s Class 3A Geneva Regional with a 4-over-par 74.

“I just kept everything in play,” Monroe said, “which helped a lot.”

HITTING REWIND Marmion finished second to Batavia at Tuesday’s Class 3A Oswego Sectional at Blackberry Oaks in Bristol.

It’s the first time the Cadets have advanced to sectionals as a team since moving up to Class 3A in 2012.

That season, Marmion was fifth in its sectional with a 312.

In 2013, the Cadets took eighth with a 320.

On Tuesday, their score of 331 was one stroke behind champion Batavia.

“We’re excited to move on to sectionals,” Cadets coach Doug Roberts said. “We’re just hoping that the boys can really find their games, because it’s going to take some really, really good golf to even think about grabbing that third spot for state.”

Hester: Bears didn’t offer me ‘anything’

DEVIN HESTER’S SEASON STATISTICS

kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – On a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Devin Hester said the Bears did not offer him “anything.”

“They didn’t call me or nothing. They didn’t call me, period, pretty much,” said Hester, who will face the Bears in AtlanDevin Hester ta on Sunday.

“I didn’t hear from Chicago. They didn’t say they were going to re-sign me.

All I know is that they were going to go in a different direction.”

the league with the Bears and has been effective for the Falcons this season as both a returner and receiver. He signed a three-year, $9 million contract with $3.5 million guaranteed.

“I just had to take it the way it was,” Hester said about not receiving a contract offer. “It was pretty much simple. I felt they just went in a new direc-

tion, so it gave me options to go and explore and see what other teams were interested in me.”

The Bears would not have offered Hester the type of contract the Falcons did, considering the needs they had on defense.

Hester said it bothered him to not get a chance to stay with the Bears – “If you’ve been with a team for over six, sev-

en, eight years, if you’ve been there for a long time, it bothers you when your contract is up and the team doesn’t even come to offer you anything” – but Hester also admitted last month on NFL Network that he wasn’t as happy in his final years in Chicago.

As for Sunday, Hester is looking forward to facing his former teammates.

“It’s going to be fun, kind of exciting. So used to going against these guys in practice. It’ll be the first time for me against them live,” he said.

“Been around these guys for a long time, so it’s kind of like playing against your brother.

That’s the way it kind of seems now.”

Many Bears fans miss Hester, especially considering the Bears’ woes in the return game, but he is more than con-

tent in his new home.

“Sometimes things are meant for a new start, a fresh start. Kind of like a relationship,” Hester said. “Sometimes you might be fortunate when the relationship is not meant [to be] and you just move on.

That’s the situation I’m now in. I’m in a relationship where I’m happy now.”

Bears missing 4 linebackers at practice, Garza back to practice

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears’ top four linebackers were among the eight players who missed practice on Wednesday.

Lance Briggs (ribs), D.J. Williams (neck), Jon Bostic (back) and Shea McClellin (hand) did not participate in Wednesday’s session. Briggs was not present, and he appeared to be favoring an inju-

ry following Sunday’s loss to Carolina.

Marc Trestman said the Bears went with Khaseem Greene, Darryl Sharpton and Christian Jones at linebacker during practice.

Williams missed last Wednesday’s practice with a neck injury as well before returning on Thursday. Bostic missed most of the second half of the Panthers game.

Jermon Bushrod, Taylor Boggs and Ahmad Dixon

also did not practice. Matt Forte was absent, which was a coach’s decision. Trestman said they just wanted to get Forte some rest.

The potentially good news for the Bears was that Chris Conte and Jeremiah Ratliff were both limited participants. Conte left Sunday’s game with a concussion, and Ratliff has not played since suffering a concussion in Week Two. He practiced last Wednesday, but missed the

rest of the week.

Sherrick McManis (quad) was limited as well, and could be the Bears’ No. 3 corner this week depending on his health.

Roberto Garza was a full participant in practice, so he will likely return to the starting center spot on Sunday in Atlanta for the first time since injuring his ankle in Week One. “We’ll obviously keep our fingers crossed,” Trestman said. “Certainly, we’re terri-

bly happy to have Brian de la Puente with us. He did a very good job for us during the times he has played, and he’ll continue to work in there, but Garza practiced today and we’ll see what kind of aftereffects he has from a full day of work.”

In Atlanta, Harry Douglas (foot) and Devin Hester (hamstring) did not practice. Douglas has missed the past two weeks, but Hester is expected to play on Sunday.

ADVICE Dad who took on fatherhood finds title taken away Dear Abby: About two years ago, a close female friend, “Carla,” had her first child. The biological father is from another country.

When she told him she was pregnant, he refused to have anything to do with the child, so I decided to take over the role as a father.

I have been with Carla and my son since she found out about the pregnancy. When she was in her last trimester, we decided to give a shot to the relationship and become a couple. Everything was great. She had our child. When he was born, I really became a father.

But after two years, everything didn’t go as we planned and we broke up.

Now Carla says I’m not the father, and she won’t give my son my last name. I really want him to be known as my son, but without my last name, everyone sees me only as the guy who is raising

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips another guy’s son.

She said I should forget about being the father. Please tell me what I can do. – Sad Dad In El Salvador Dear Sad Dad: There’s a saying, “No good deed goes unpunished,” and I think it applies to you. You appear to be a wonderful, loving person, and I can see how emotionally wrenching this has been for you.

However, the legal father of that little boy is the person whose name is on the birth certificate.

While you have loved Carla’s child and have assumed the role of father, legally you may not be.

A lawyer can explain this to you,

and tell you if you have any options other than being a presence in the child’s life. But I suspect the mother’s wishes will prevail.

Dear Abby: Recently a friend of mine went to a ritzy gala. When dinner was served, she closed her eyes and said a brief and quiet prayer. When she opened them, the people at her table were appalled. One guest admonished her, telling her she shouldn’t pray out of respect for others.

Was she wrong? – Grace Before Dinner Dear Grace: As long as your friend said her prayer quietly and didn’t impose it upon the other attendees, she did nothing wrong.

Actually, the rule of etiquette is to refrain from criticizing the table manners of other guests.

Low sex drive can be improved with medication, therapy Dear Doctor K: I’m a woman in my mid-50s. Lately I haven’t been able to become sexually aroused.

What could be wrong?

Dear Reader: Sex is complicated.

You probably already know that.

Sexual desire surely resides in the head, but other parts of the body can affect desire as well.

In particular, the genital organs communicate with the brain.

Likewise, the brain communicates with the genital organs. Desire in the brain causes changes in the pelvic organs. Perceiving these changes can, in turn, enhance sexual desire.

There is a condition called sexual arousal disorder. Normally, a woman becomes aroused through thoughts and fantasies, touch, or both. In response, blood flows to her pelvic area. This causes the genital tissues to swell and the vagina to moisten in readiness for sexual activity. With sexual arousal disorder, your mind desires sex, but your body does not follow suit.

Many things can cause or contribute to this disorder. Medical conditions such as hypothyroidism and diabetes can dampen sex drive. Medications, including antidepressants and anti-seizure drugs, can have sexual side effects.

Emotional and psychological issues also can profoundly affect sexual desire – and performance.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Sexual arousal disorder in women often occurs after menopause, when estrogen levels drop.

This can cause vaginal tissue to thin and secretions to decrease.

Sex may become painful, resulting in less arousal. But even if sex is not painful, a woman may notice the absence of the pelvic changes that occur with increased blood flow and vaginal moistening.

That can put a further damper on desire.

What treatments are available to improve sexual desire and sexual function? For years, drug companies have been in search of a “female Viagra.” The idea is that increased blood flow to the genital area will translate into greater sexual desire. So far, studies have not found this to be the case.

Another issue might be vaginal dryness. For many women, over-the-counter lubricants and vaginal moisturizers are enough to relieve vaginal dryness. If these products don’t help, lowdose vaginal estrogen products are available by prescription.

They come as creams, tablets or rings inserted into the vagina.

These raise estrogen levels in the vagina, making vaginal tissue thicker and more elastic. Unlike higher-dose hormone replacement therapy, they do not significantly increase blood levels of estrogen.

The most widely studied treatment for boosting female sexual desire is testosterone.

Most studies have found a benefit. Even though testosterone is described as a “male” hormone, women also make testosterone – but in much lower amounts than men. It does stimulate desire in women as well as men, along with arousal and orgasm.

Another option, if your problem is not just physical, is sex therapy. A therapist can help you identify thoughts, feelings and behaviors that might be interfering with your sexual enjoyment.

A therapist will also help you communicate your needs and enhance feelings of intimacy between you and your partner.

A loss of sexual desire and function after menopause is reasonably common. Fortunately, there are therapies that can help.

Hotline will provide necessary information Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 and next month my family will visit relatives for Thanksgiving and I might come in contact with a younger cousin who has the measles, which I know is a highly contagious disease. I’m really concerned that I could become infected.

Should I be safe and have a vaccination to make sure I don’t get this disease? This is a really fun time in my life and I don’t want anything to disrupt it. – Lisa, Lake Charles, Louisiana Dear Lisa: Please call the Centers for Disease Control at 800-232-4636 and receive information about vaccine-preventable diseases and immunizations to protect against them.

The hotline answers questions about recommended vaccinations for children, teens and adults.

Dr. Wallace: You told a 16-year-old that he should see a doctor because he was concerned about losing his hair.

Hair loss is a natural occurrence, especially for men. My father was a handsome man, and he was totally bald. Many men with full heads of hair shave their scalps just to get that bald look.

Why didn’t you advise the lad to realize that hair loss is natural and that a lot of us older women think bald men are handsome? – Grand-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace ma, Galesburg P.S.: Are you bald?

Dear Grandma: It’s highly unlikely that a 16-year-old boy was losing his hair because of a natural occurrence.

The boy was concerned that a disease or stress was the problem, even if his parents were not alarmed. That’s why I recommended that he see a doctor immediately. I’m sure your father was a handsome man, but I am quite sure he didn’t begin his “baldness” at age 16.

I agree that some men don’t allow their baldness to hinder their handsome face. But Mother Nature made sure that I must comb my hair at least once every day and visit my barber twice a month.

Dr. Wallace: If you had the chance to have only one pet, would you get a cat or a dog? Please answer. It’s very important to me. – Nameless, Cumberland, Maine Dear Nameless: I love cats. They are so unpredictable and independent. They can fend for themselves and, when cornered by a dog, most can defend themselves.

They also say that they have nine exciting lives!

I love cats, but my only pet would be a dog!

And Poochie would have said “goodbye” to a caring animal shelter, and “hello” to the Wallace family, who would have made him a welcome family member!

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Short suits count with a good fit

CELEBRITY CIPHER

W.C. Fields said, “My illness is due to my doctor’s insistence that I drink milk, a whitish fluid they force down helpless babies.”

Hand strength is a fluid, not static, value. Look at the North hand and the start to the auction. What should North rebid over two diamonds, if anything?

A hand starts with a certain number of high-card points, but its value may decrease, remain constant or increase as the auction progresses. The relevant factor in this deal is North’s short suit once the diamond fit becomes known.

At the table, North passed over two diamonds. That was much too cautious. North at the very least owed his partner a raise to three diamonds. Then South, with a known ninecard fit, would probably have continued with four clubs as a game-try, highlighting his heart shortage. North would have raised to five clubs, and South would have retreated to five diamonds.

Maybe West would have started the defense with two rounds of trumps. South would win, cash his two club winners and the spade ace (discarding a heart from the dummy), ruff a spade, cash the club king, and claim when the suit splits 3-3.

Instead, suppose West leads a low heart, East wins with his eight and returns a low heart.

South ruffs, unblocks his two club honors, and leads a trump.

With the favorable breaks, the contract cannot be touched.

Yes, South could easily face worse distribution, but even so, it is worth going for the game bonus.

TODAY – Don’t get caught up in trivial disagreements. Your drive to help others will put you in contact with a wide assortment of people this year.

Getting along with others will be the determining factor when it comes to reaching your goals. Diplomacy equals success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Discord and disappointment will lead to minor mishaps. Face relationship issues that are causing you stress in order to sleep better. If you feel more at peace, you will be less likely to get sick.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t be in such a rush. If your schedule is too full, it’s time to slow things down. Minor accidents are more likely to occur if you are distracted or preoccupied.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Tension and stress can be averted with some form of physical exercise. Sports, a gym membership or less-strenuous pastimes such as yoga will provide an outlet and help you relax.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If someone disagrees with your opinion, don’t take it personally. Letting your emotions dictate your actions will cost you spiritually, physically and financially if you aren’t careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will receive a tempting offer. Make sure to get all of the requirements and expectations in writing before you make a verbal commitment. Romance is on the rise.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t let others take credit for your work.

Make sure that your employer knows what and how much you contribute so that your talents will be recognized and advancement will be yours.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You will be bogged down with family duties. Let everyone know that you expect hands-on support, or you will end up tired and frustrated. It will be necessary to look out for your interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Keep a low profile. Dealing with relatives or friends will be troublesome. Find a worthwhile project to work on alone.

Reorganize your closet or clear up some personal papers.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Step up your physical activity. Games or sports with younger people will be rewarding and fun, and will help to burn off some extra calories. Welcome any challenge that comes your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t say the first thing that comes to mind.

Those around you may be oversensitive, so choose your words carefully in order to avoid an unwanted argument.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Mixing business with pleasure is not a good idea.

Revealing too much personal information to colleagues or friends will lead to an embarrassing or uncomfortable situation that will be difficult to reverse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A joint financial venture will lead to problems.

A more effective way to hold on to your money is to keep it in a safe place that pays interest.
