Ballroom dance event was a total blast EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar

What a weekend it was – ballroom hair! Ballroom makeup! Ballroom dresses!

And tons of dancing, dancing, dancing!

My second time competing in Holiday Star Ball, a regional Fred Astaire dance event, was just as much fun as I hoped it would be.

Last week in my column, I wrote about how I have been taking dance lessons at a Fred Astaire dance studio for just over a year. In addition, I noted how I would provide an update in this column regarding how I did at the Holiday Star Ball competition.

My goals going into the event for a second time were to have fun, feel more comfortable on the dance floor and improve in my dancing.

I’m excited to say that I think I nailed all three goals!

A big thank you goes to my two main dance instructors – Nick Haklin and Joel Thomas – who have helped me get better and better at dancing the waltz, tango, foxtrot, chacha, rumba and swing.

As for the choreographed group dance that I mentioned last week, I think our group pulled it off – despite the fact we never once practiced the dance with all 10 participants before our actual performance.

Whew!

Wredling Middle School student Kaylee Schwarz of St. Charles was in the group dance with me, as was her mom, Robin.

Kane County Chronicle editor Kathy Balcazar dances with Fred Astaire instructor Joel Thomas on Saturday during Holiday Star Ball, a regional Fred Astaire dance competition. Balcazar has been taking ballroom dance lessons for just over a year.

Kaylee said some of her favorite parts of Holiday Star Ball on Saturday evening were being in the group dance and serving as a “runner,” which required her to collect score sheets from judges when the professionals competed.

She also liked being in the group dance with her mom.

my mom [dance], and she always tells me how much fun everything is,” she said. “To be in a dance with her ... it was just cool.”

Robin, who has been in about 16 dance competitions through Fred Astaire, said Holiday Star Ball is one of her favorite comps of the year, with last weekend being par-

ticularly notable.

“For me, I feel like it was my best comp so far,” she said, adding she also is excited to see where her daughter goes with ballroom dance.

Have a desire to take ballroom dance lessons? I say, find a dance studio near you and go for it!

And if you want to take lessons at a Fred Astaire franchise studio, you’re in luck.

A lease has been signed for a location to open up soon in St. Charles.

Squirrel scatter hoarders rewarded for their talents GOOD NATURED Pam Erickson Otto Years ago, as a rookie staff writer at a restaurant magazine, I had the pleasure of working with a tremendously talented senior editor named Audrey. Her wit and skill had earned her a spot near the top of the publishing food chain, yet she made herself accessible to us young cubs.

If I needed a catchy headline, bam! Audrey had one.

When I wondered how to phrase a photo caption, boom!

Audrey could write one in no time.

It didn’t take me long to learn Audrey had yet another fine quality: Her cubicle was not so much a workspace as it was a pantry. Every drawer, cabinet, nook and cranny held some sort of sweet or salty treat. Candy here, chips over there, a slice of pie saved for “later.”

Audrey’s stashes – or, in ecological terms, caches – weren’t confined to her office.

Perishable items (whether they’d perished or not) were stored in the communal refrigerator. She also kept a ready supply of on-the-go items – granola bars inside three-ring binders, crackers in her purse, striped peppermints in her coat pocket.

What I didn’t realize then, but is so very obvious now, is that all of us, as Audrey’s coworkers, were witnessing a very effective survival strategy. If we were squirrels, rather than frenzied writers, (and I know some would argue that the differences are minor) she would have been the most successful.

For Audrey was a scatter hoarder.

Thanks to reality TV, hoarding has gotten a bad name. But for certain animal species, hoarding, or caching, is key to their existence.

Chipmunks, for example, spend much of the fall gathering nuts and seeds, which

Cached in plain sight, but in a tree that is far away from prime squirrel habitat, this walnut stands a good chance of being retrieved by the individual that put it there. they store en masse in chambers within their burrows for use in the winter.

This method of cache forming, called larder hoarding, is the rodent equivalent

of putting all their eggs in one basket. While not without its flaws, the strategy works particularly well for chippies, because their subterranean stores are harder to access

and unlikely to get raided.

However, gray and fox squirrels, two other Sciuridae species present in our area, have a bit of a conundrum.

They have the same need to store food, but because of their ecological niche, they lack the means to create a large cache. They live in trees, not holes in the ground.

They share territories and even nests during the winter months, but they don’t share stored food.

That’s where scatter hoarding comes in. As soon as the tree nuts begin to ripen, the squirrels start caching them. A hickory nut here, an acorn there, a walnut saved for “later.”

Research has shown squirrels retrieve anywhere from 40 percent to 80 percent of what they cache. An impressive feat, I say – especially given I can only remember where I put my keys about 25 percent of the time.

The majority of these treasures are buried, as a means of preventing other squirrels from stealing them. In fact, in areas where squirrel populations particularly are dense, you might even see an individual dig up and re-bury an item – another tactic used to foil competitors.

But every once in a while, squirrels will cache items in very obvious, above-ground locations. I’ve found butternuts on my lower level windowsills, and walnuts on the propane tank of my grill.

During our walk last week, my friends Lorayne, Gayle and I spied a walnut stuffed in the crotch of a small tree – one that was at least a couple of blocks from the nearest Juglans nigra – the eastern black walnut.

At first glance, you might think this strategy would be the antithesis of good scatter

COVER STORY FINAL SHOWDOWN

St. Charles District 303 grad among 4 finalists on ‘The Voice’ season 9

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A St. Charles North High School alumnus is preparing to perform for his largest TV audience to date Monday and Tuesday.

Jeffery Austin, 24, is one of four finalists on the ninth season of NBC’s “The Voice” singing competition.

The two-part finale begins at 7 p.m.

Monday and continues at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

By 10 p.m. Tuesday, the winner of the show will be announced and will receive a recording contract.

Austin, whose real last name is McClelland, graduated from St. Charles North in 2009. He auditioned for show producers in January and later did a televised blind audition for the show’s four celebrity judges – Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams.

Stefani was the only judge to turn her chair during Austin’s rendition of singer Sam Smith’s song “Lay Me Down” to select Austin to compete on her Season 9 team. This is the first time someone on one of her teams has made it to the finals.

“It’s still hitting me that I’m going to be performing in the finale after beginning my time on this show by auditioning on a whim,” Austin stated Friday in an email.

“I’m so grateful to everyone who helped get me here!”

The St. Charles community continues to show support for Austin as he advances through the show.

Several St. Charles students rallied with a #VoiceSaveJeffery hashtag Tuesday when Austin was close to being eliminated. He received enough votes to be declared a finalist in the final seconds of the semifinal results show.

The Blue Goose Market in St. Charles put Austin’s likeness on several of their bakery cakes and are encouraging viewers to vote for him on their social media accounts.

“We’re behind him all the way,” Blue Goose President Paul Lencioni said Friday.

Austin has not been alone on the West Coast, where the show is broadcast. His mom, Michele McClelland, has been shown in the audience several times this season during Jeffery’s performances.

“My family will all be at the finale, and I’m so happy they’ve been able to join me along the way. … I can’t thank my mom enough, especially for sacrificing her time at work and home to be with me every week,” Austin stated in the email.

“It is a wonderful feeling to see your children happy in the pursuit of their

How to vote St. Charles North High School alumnus Jeffery Austin is one of four finalists competing to win season 9 of NBC’s “The Voice.” The show will air on NBC at 7 p.m. central time Monday and Tuesday.

Viewers can vote for Austin up to 10 times at NBC.com or facebook.com/ NBCTheVoice.

Morgan wrote. “So, in my view, he has already won.”

As he continues through each round of the competition, Austin wrote he gets more hungry for the next level of competition and he would love to win.

“My life has changed regardless just from being on this show,” Austin wrote. “I know now that being an artist is what I’m meant to do.”

Mastalski first asked Austin to join the middle-school choir because of his voice. He continued to perform throughout his years at St. Charles North High School.

“The hometown support from both schools have been incredible, and I can’t thank them enough,” Austin wrote. “Those schools are where I started my

musical education and love for singing, so it’s surreal for their support to come full circle.”

What has emerged for Austin over the past six years is a confidence and comfort with expressing his emotions while performing, St. Charles North choral director Dale Morgan stated in an email.

“Whether he is voted the winner or not is immaterial to me because no matter the outcome on ‘The Voice,’ Jeffery Austin is going to have a suc-

Country Store closing after 40 years in Geneva

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – After 40 years as a fixture in the downtown, The Country Store, at 28 James St., in Geneva, is liquidating the business and selling the building, co-owner Bonnie Dudley said.

“We did a big business in country lighting and country curtains,” Dudley said.

But with the last economic downturn and the loss of manufacturers of their specialty stock – as well as the fact she and her husband, David, are both 71 – it was time to close, said Bonnie Dudley, a Batavia resident.

“It’s mostly a function

of age,” she added. “We are retiring. If we could have found a buyer, that would have been fine, but I personally advised against anybody buying it because … all the little country stores are closing, and people are having trouble finding the stuff.”

The Dudleys married in 1975, the same month they started the business, she said.

“We sanded the floors and went and got married,” Bonnie Dudley said. “We had a house on Fulton in St. Charles and got married there. We had a preach er friend in, and a couple friends stand up, and we ate

at the Fisherman’s Inn.” During the economic downturn, Bonnie Dudley said they had to lay off two of their four full-time employees in 2006 and were never able to hire them back.

The Country Store also sold a lot of antiques, and

in addition, her husband is selling off his personal collection at the store, she said.

The building dates back to 1857, Bonnie Dudley said, and has beams in the basement that are hand hewn. It is one of the properties owned by George and

Charles Patten. The Patten House, at 124 S. Second St., Geneva, which also dates to 1857, is now a restaurant. It had been the home of George Patten.

Once the stock is all sold off, she said they will put the building up for sale.

Otto: Squirrels that exhibit the most talent will be the most successful • GOOD NATURED

Continued from page 4 hoarding practices. That nut and all its fat- and protein-laden goodness is right there, in plain view, free for the taking.

But when put into the context of squirrels operating on spatial memory cues, the plain-sight cache makes a little more sense. The squirrel that stashed the nut there, far away from all the other nuts, is the squirrel most likely to make the trip out to get it.

The fact the nut was several feet off the ground is another advantage for the little scatter-hoarding Sciurus. If we get a lot of snow this winter, any nuts that are buried are going to be even harder to retrieve. But a nut stuck high in a tree – it’s low-hanging fruit, so to speak.

One of these days, winter weather is going to set in.

The temperatures will drop; the precipitation will change from rain to snow. And scatter hoarders everywhere will be making use of their carefully stored provisions.

Those that exhibit the most talent will be the most successful. Just like Audrey.

STC residents continue plea to keep Lincoln, Wasco schools open District 303 board asks officials for more details

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Board members’ discussion Friday on the St. Charles School District 303 facility options was brief during a special meeting at Wredling Middle School.

Instead, board members asked district officials for more information about capacity at the schools, among other details.

“It’s going to be a troubling decision,” board member Corinne Pierog said at the meeting.

Board members next year will decide among four options developed by district officials in response to

declining enrollment.

About 190 people attended the Friday meeting, and more than 20 spoke during the public comment section.

Option 1 is to maintain buildings as they are; Option 2 is to close Lincoln and Wasco elementary schools; and Option 3 is to close Haines Middle School, implement a K-6 model in elementary schools and have a $20 million renovation to Thompson Middle School.

Option 4 is to close Lincoln, Wasco and Haines schools with a $45 million renovation to Thompson Middle School that would require a referendum.

When asked to choose only one option, 32 percent of 1,257 respondents selected Option 2, followed by 27 percent for Option 1, according to results reviewed at the Friday meeting.

The majority of the public speakers at the meeting

were business leaders and members of the Lincoln school community opposed to Option 2, including Lincoln Student Council Presidenet Ava Rosenberg.

“Closing our very special school and moving everyone around will make learning very difficult,” Rosenberg said. “Please don’t take that away from us in our community.”

A few residents also spoke in support of keeping Wasco school open, including Campton Hills Village President Harry Blecker.

The school board will next discuss the facilities options at its 7 p.m. Jan. 11 meeting, which also will be at Wredling Middle School.

District officials have asked board members to make a decision in January on the options, district spokesman Jim Blaney said.

CAMPTON HILLS – Campton Hills police arrested a former “American Idol” contestant Wednesday who was wanted on warrants from Oklahoma, officials said.

Matthew A. Farmer, 29, formerly of the O3100 block of Campton Woods Drive, Campton Hills, was being held in the Kane County Jail as of Friday afternoon, awaiting extradition to Oklahoma County. Campton Hills Police Chief Dan Hoffman said police were called to the Campton Woods Drive address by the landlord, who alleged that Farmer wrote several bad checks for the rent and essentially was squatting there.

“He paid with a $5,000 check for renting a million-dollar house, and it bounced,” Hoffman said. “We have him in handcuffs, and he’s telling me, ‘The check is good.’ The landlord is standing next to me, and he’s denying, denying.”

While this was going on, Hoffman said police got a call from Streamwood police, ask-

ing them to make contact with Farmer regarding a domestic situation involving his wife.

Hoffman said the woman in Streamwood was Farmer’s fourth wife, and they were getting a divorce after being married for a month. Hoffman said Streamwood police asked them to tell Farmer to stop harassing her.

In 2013, Farmer admitted he lied about his military service in Iraq Matthew on “American A. Farmer Idol,” according to www.guardianofvalor.com, which included the admission from Farmer in an online post.

According to its website, Guardian of Valor outs people who falsify their military service.

According to Oklahoma County court records, the nobond warrants on Farmer were issued for separate charges.

On July 8, Farmer was charged with being in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and transporting an

The Kane County Bar Association’s next “Ask A Lawyer Day” event will be from 9 a.m. to noon today.

On the second Saturday of each month, members of the public are encouraged to call 630-762-1900 for a free consultation with a volunteer attorney.

This public information service (sponsored by the Kane County Bar Association, and supported by the Illinois State Bar Association) is an opportunity to ask questions and find direction for any legal matters.

Last month, many callers were helped with legal problems regarding issues in real estate, landlord/tenant, criminal, estates and wills, divorce, child custody, collections, bankruptcy and traffic.

There is a very high call volume, so callers are urged to keep trying if the phone lines are busy, as volunteers are not able to retrieve messages left on the voice mail.

Kaneland teachers take part in informational picketing

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com Members of the Kaneland Education Association participated in informational picketing Friday morning near Kaneland Harter Middle School in Sugar Grove.

KEA officials said informational pickets also took place Thursday at Kaneland School District 302’s elementary schools.

Negotiations continue between the KEA and Kaneland’s school board as the sides work on a collective bargaining agreement.

The next negotiation session is set for Thursday. The next school board meeting is Monday at Harter Middle School.

At recent school board meetings, Kaneland teachers have lined up to speak during the public comment portion.

Last month, KEA members voted “in favor of moving forward with an intent to strike.”

Susan Acksel, the KEA’s chief negotiator, stated in an email the pickets were done “to get information out to any community member who wanted more information from KEA.”

“The informational picketing is not an indicator of whether or not the Kaneland teachers will strike,” Acksel said in the email. “The 357 members of the association will determine that if an agreement is not reached and final best offers are submitted by both sides.”

Teresa Witt, the school board’s president, said Friday she was “glad to see that the teachers were able to exercise their First Amendment rights without causing a substantial disruption to our students.”

She added, “I didn’t hear of any particular impact it had.”

Both sides have provided recent online updates.

At www.kaneland.org, the board’s update provided information about the fund balance, why board members do not respond to public comments at meetings and the board’s proposed increases to teacher salaries. According to that information, KEA increases were zero percent in 2010-11, 5.6 percent in 2011-12, 0 percent in 2012-13, 3.36 percent in 2013-14 and 3.99 percent in 2014-15.

The board stated it has proposed an increase of 5.42 percent in each of the next

three school years, which adds up to a total percentage increase of 16.26 percent.

“As negotiations continue, the continued goal for the board of education is to seek a fair, competitive and fiscally responsible settlement to continue to convey that all teachers in District 302 are highly valued,” the district’s update stated.

At the KEA’s website, keaiea.wordpress.com, the update provided reasons why the KEA has not accepted the current school board proposal, stating “it does not meet the joint KEA and board of education interests of raising the base salary and attracting/retaining teachers.”

“During the last five years, our salary schedule has become even less competitive,” the KEA update said.

Also on its website, the KEA stated “in the most recent conversations, KEA made movement in regards to compensation, but the board of education/district did not.”

In her email, Acksel pointed out the next negotiation session is set for Thursday, and the “KEA hopes that we will reach an agreement on that date.”

Strong message on animal abuse

It was a case that stunned and angered animal rights proponents in Kane County and beyond: In March 2014, Elgin resident Stacy Fiebelkorn was charged with cruel treatment of animals, after nearly 100 animals in her Mini Zoo Crew were found sick and starving. Some were found dead.

Last week, Fiebelkorn pleaded guilty to cruel treatment, a Class A misdemeanor. Two counts of violating owner’s duties, a Class B misdemeanor, were dismissed. She was sentenced to 24 months of probation, 90 days in jail with good time to apply and $300 in fines and costs.

She also must undergo a psychological evaluation.

Local animal-rights proponents were in attendance at the latest court date, and those interviewed called it “a victory today for animals” and a “huge win.”

A sentence that includes jail time for such a misdemeanor is indeed a strong statement. Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon noted in a news release after the plea agreement that “There is a national consensus that animal abuse should be treated as a serious crime. This sentence reflects that expectation.”

It’s the end of a chapter that delivered a strong message to those who care for animals. Those who have accepted the responsibility of caring for animals must be able to adequately do so. If they at some point can’t continue to care for those animals, they should know there are several local rescue organizations that are willing to help find new homes for them. When the call went out for volunteers to help move the animals from the petting zoo to another location, more than 100 people showed up to assist.

If people in a difficult situation don’t seek help, the animals can become malnourished and sick.

They even might die. And instead of receiving help, those owners might end up spending time in jail.

drawing districts, about one in five state-level legislative seats in the U.S. may have to be redrawn. Yet even if the court decides against the plaintiffs, it still could open the door to voter-based districting.

In a 1966 ruling, the court held that Hawaii could use registered voters, rather than total population, as a means of apportionment. Otherwise the number of temporary military personnel would have “substantially distorted” the state’s districts. If the court broadens that ruling, states controlled by Republicans may begin reapportioning districts based on voter eligibility, given the political advantage they stand to gain.

If only eligible voters are counted, voters in urban areas and Hispanic communities, both of which lean Democratic, would be spread thinner, while areas with few noncitizens, children and felons would gain clout.

Drawing districts already is too partisan and litigious. The Supreme Court should not make it more so by requiring or empowering states to abandon a principle that has long served the country well.

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.

SOUND OFF Sound Off guidelines

Maybe we should arm ourselves after all

I am a subscriber. Let’s title this, “Maybe we should arm ourselves after all.” I am now watching the San Bernadino, California, catastrophe with the gunman. I don’t own a gun. I’ve never shot anything bigger than a BB gun. I have friends who hunt and friends who own guns. That’s OK. I’ve never wanted to hunt, but I just became a grandfather, and I know it’s kind of a stretch. My grandchild is going to have to grow up into an environment, like I never, ever, thought I would say this, but maybe it is time for the public to get some training and start carrying guns to protect themselves. These people come out of nowhere, and they start shooting. They are armed. …

Maybe they can save themselves.

This is a really sad state of events between us and the events that have happened in Paris. This is just very upsetting. Maybe what we have to do, just arm ourselves.

I don’t know the answer. Nobody does.

A chilling parallel

How bogus?

you don’t have in the AARP group is that you are not 50 or older. In your school, you have art, music, athletic and other clubs you can join. As for sitting around playing board games? We have earned that. Most of us help in some way in the community. I help with special-needs people, volunteer at the hospital, visit nursing homes and so forth. As for being around longer than us? Think again. In the past few years, I have lost a 25-year-old great-niece, 52-year-old niece, and a 56-year-old nephew. My grandkids and all of the young people I know have been taught from an early age to be respectful, kind and caring for all. Maybe you should try that sometime. I think you would be a much happier person. I am a member of AMAC, not AARP. You probably should check that group out now to see how bogus we are.

you, etc., etc. I would just like to suggest that you might consider there are people of ages on “this earth.” This has been the case for some time and will probably still be true when you become eligible for AARP, whether you choose to join or not. I may not be here when that time comes, so I will wish you well now.

It is a good question

There is a very successful woman in the business field. Later, a question was asked in a circle of men. “Would you date her?” And as a woman, much to my surprise, all agreed that they would not. “Too intimidating” was their response.

Morgan Rosencrants helped St. Charles North get off to a stellar 3-0 start at the Pontiac Thanksgiving Tournament, averaging 15 points a game, 15 rebounds, and 15 steals.

Her consistent good play and hard work were the key to victories against LaSalle-Peru and Pontiac as she scored 20 and 19 points respectively. Morgan’s leadership has played just as big a part as her skills on the court, and is why she is the Stars Player of the Month.

Ryan, an all-tournament selection at Batavia’s annual Ken Peddy Windmill Classic Thanksgiving tournament, looks to lead the Knights with his poise, easing the team into the coach Joe Conroy era. Paced Friday’s home rout of Morris with 18 points.

GENEVA 56, LARKIN 53

RESILIENCY PAYS OFF Geneva hangs on for important UEC River victory over Larkin

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Geneva gym went silent when standout senior forward Bennett Fuzak went to the floor after a bucket midway through the fourth quarter.

After staying down for a few minutes, Fuzak was helped to the locker room and did not return to the Geneva boys basketball lineup Friday night.

But, the Vikings found a way to hold off Larkin without Fuzak, 56-53, for the Upstate Eight Conference River Division win.

Fuzak had a team-high 14 points, but junior point guard Cole Navigato and Co. made important free throws down the stretch to hold off Christian Negron and the Royals.

“We showed some resilience tonight,” Geneva coach Phil Ralston said. “That Larkin team is about as good as any team in the area, and I thought our kids played really tough down the stretch. There weren’t many parts of the finish that were pretty, leaving the door open more than once for Larkin, but I really think it came down to being resilient. Our guys were able to close it out for the win.”

Navigato finished with 13 points, nine of which came from the free throw line. His brother, Dom Navigato, finished with eight points, while the trio of Jordan Vedder, Brandon Schleicher and Matt Johnston added six points each in the win for Geneva (6-1, 1-1 UEC River).

Johnston’s six points don’t show up huge in the stat line, but a basket in each the third and fourth quarters were important in continuing to build his confidence as a junior at the varsity level.

He knows – as Ralston put it – that “no one is going to feel sorry for anyone at this level,” and believes with each game his decision-making abilities have grown, as well.

“When Bennett went out, we’re losing our leader out there, you know,” Johnston said. “I tried to step up and help, and I think we all felt we had to

Ralston did not have an update on Fuzak.

A crucial turning point for Larkin (5-3, 2-1), that was hard to overlook was the junior forward Negron picking up his fourth foul with four minutes left in the third quarter.

With 22 of his team’s 36 points at the time, Negron left – with his team ahead 36-32 – and did not return until the 5:37 mark of the fourth quarter (down 45-44).

Negron finished with a game-high 24 points, as his game-tying 3-point attempt fell short at the buzzer.

The fouls seemed to be an issue for both sides, as a combined 45 fouls were called in the contest.

Larkin coach Deryn Carter was frustrated with the officiating but knows it’s on him and his team to put itself in better situation to avoid fouls being called.

“A perfect example is at the end of the third quarter,” Carter said. “We should get the last shot. We take it too early, they throw it up court and we foul them on a three-pointer with 0.1 seconds on the clock. I don’t like to be a victim, so I’m worrying about our side and things we need to do better.

“Geneva is a good team, have a lot of size and made a couple more plays than we did tonight.”

Geneva committed a few more turnovers (21) than Ralston probably would have liked, but he felt with his team having enough guys that may not have played, but got to be involved on a team last year, with the experience of a run to state, kept its composure well enough in a tight game.

“There are enough guys on this team that know what it takes to win games like this from last year,” Ralston said. “There’s also new guys that are put in situations where they need to grow up really fast. Some coaches might complain about this, Karen Naess for Shaw Media but we have different guys step up each and every night. Tonight was a Geneva’s Jordan Vedder dives for the ball with two Larkin defenders Friday in Geneva. great team win and I’m proud of the come together and rally to make sure once we stayed calm against a very effort.” we got this win. We had a couple turn- good team, it showed we can play with The Vikings host the Churchie overs that kept them in the game, but anyone.”

BOYS SWIMMING: ST. CHARLES NORTH 124, WEST CHICAGO/BATAVIA CO-OP 56

St. Charles North cruises to victory

By JARED BIRCHFIELD editorial@kcchronicle.com ST.CHARLES – The St. Charles North boys swimming team swept all three relay races and captured most of the second and third place spots in individual events, earning a 124-56 win over the West Chicago/Batavia co-op team Friday night.

While both squads each won four of the individual races, North swimmers finished second in all eight events. The North Stars also notched six third-place spots.

Familiar names won all four individual events for North.

Steve Hutchinson won both the 50-yard freestyle (22.56 seconds) and 100 free (50.70).

Classmate Joe Myhre’s time of 57.61 in the 100 backstroke clinched a first-place finish for the North Stars.

St. Charles North’s Nick Wolff competes in the 200-yard freestyle during Friday’s dual meet against West Chicago-Batavia co-op at North.

Both seniors are veterans of last year’s team that finished 10th in the state meet.

A new swimmer with a familiar last name won the 100 breaststroke for North. Freshman William Myhre, Joe’s

younger brother, won his first varsity race with a time of 1:02.01. William Myhre also took second in the IM. “The breaststroke went better than the IM,” Will Myhre said. “I have room to work on

in the IM.” “We had a pretty good meet for a lot of people,” North coach Rob Rooney said. “William Myhre did a nice job in the breaststroke, that’s a nice swim for him. I thought the medley relay did a great job together as a team. Steve Hutchinson had a good meet, too.”

Brothers also won races for the West Chicago/Batavia coop. Batavian Cooper Hawkins won the 200 IM with a time of 2:00.85. His brother, Keegan Hawkins, swan the grueling 500 freestyle in 5:04.51.

Ryan Sego, also from Batavia, won two races for the coop team – the 200 free (1:54.63) and the 100 butterfly (54.10). He edged out North’s Joe Myhre by a tenth of a second in the 100 butterfly.

“It was a pretty even meet for how many people they

have and how many people we have,” Sego said. “It’s a pretty fair accomplishment for us, honestly. “(The butterfly) was fun race. Joe Myhre was right next to me, so I had some competition.”

“Cooper Hawkins won his race with a lifetime best and so did his brother,“ said West Chicago coach Nicole Cleveland. “I was also really pleased with how Ryan swam. They are three of my four guys that I’m really hoping get a bid for state at the end of the season.”

Since Friday was only the second meet of the season for North, Rooney has not settled on his lineup.

“Right now we are just trying to find out kids who like to race,” Rooney said. “We need newer people to challenge the faster people because is not a pecking order.”

KANELAND 58, SYCAMORE 45

Mary Beth Nolan for Shaw Media

Kaneland’s Dylan Vaca shoots a 3-pointer Friday against Sycamore. The senior guard scored 10 consecutive points for the Knights to defeat the Spartans, 58-45, in Maple Park.

• Saturday, December 12, 2015

MAPLE PARK – The Sycamore boys basketball team took the momentum and a four-point lead early in the second quarter after a steal and thunderous dunk by Spartans center Brian Huber.

Then Kaneland’s Dylan Vaca took over.

The senior guard for the Knights scored 10 consecutive points to give Kaneland the lead for good in its 58-45 win Friday night in Maple Park.

“It’s one of those games playing Sycamore, they’re a rival of ours,” Vaca said.

“It’s pure adrenaline with the crowd going behind you. You get a few buckets and you just kept going and the shots keep going in.”

Vaca scored a season-high 25 points for the Knights and fellow senior guard Ethan Conroy added 12.

Sycamore forwards Brett Bemis and Ty Sulaver each scored 10 points and guard Timothy Zahm chipped in eight.

Kaneland improved to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in Northern Illinois Big 12 East Division play.

“It’s a nice way to start the season,” Kaneland coach Joe Conroy said. “We’ve told the guys they have a lot of expectations they put on themselves, so we have to make sure answer the bell every time.”

The Spartans (3-4 overall, 0-2 in NI Big 12 East) grabbed a 14-10 lead early in the second quarter after Huber deflected an entry pass and drove it the length of the floor for a dunk – despite being fouled on the play.

However, Vaca scored 10 straight for the Knights – capped by a 3-pointer in the left corner – to put them ahead 20-14.

“He was the difference maker tonight,” Sycamore coach Andrew Stacy said of Vaca. “He takes the ball to the basket and finishes strong. We got caught up in some screens and he got some open looks and he’s a good shooter – we knew that on the scouting report. He knocked the shots down.”

A layup by Kaneland guard Mark Lilly capped the 12-0 run for the Knights before Sycamore answered with a basket

by Bemis.

However, the deficit never dipped into double digits for Sycamore in the first half, trailing by as much as 29-20 after a jumper by Kaneland’s Mitchel Groen.

The Spartans eventually trimmed it to 33-32 in the third quarter after a 7-0 run – four points by Bemis and a 3-pointer by Matthew Coovert. However, they couldn’t tie or take the lead the rest of the way.

“Just mental mistakes,” Stacy said. “Both teams played hard, so it wasn’t effort. We just have to be a little smarter in scoring situations.”

Kaneland answered with a 9-0 run of its own, including four points from Vaca, to push the lead back up to 42-32. Sycamore cut it to six late in the third before the Knights put the finishing push.

Ethan Conroy hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the third quarter and Lilly made a three of his own in the opening seconds of the fourth – giving Kaneland a double-digit lead the rest of the game.

“I think that was the turning point for us,” Joe Conroy said. “I think that was our ability to just keep riding the wave, keep riding the wave.

I was really proud of them to finish the third the way they did and to turn around and execute what we talked about in the break, that’s good.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: STC EAST 69, ELGIN 66

Hardy, Hondlik lead STC East to victory

By KEVIN BEESE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East built a double-digit, fourth-quarter lead, but had to hold on to capture its Upstate Eight Conference River Division opener, 69-66, over Elgin on Friday night.

Trailing Elgin by four points at halftime, the Saints roared to a 15-point lead with more than five minutes left in the contest.

However, a three-point play

by Elgin’s Desmond Douglas with less than three minutes to play, coupled with a technical foul on East’s Evan DiLeonardi, caused a seven-point swing that enabled Elgin to get within six.

“An ill-conceived technical foul and that three-point play kept them in the game,” East coach Pat Woods said. “That is a roadblock that we will learn from.”

Despite DiLeonardi being one of the Saints’ senior leaders and somebody who controls the ball down the stretch, he watched the final minutes from the bench.

Elgin, normally a man-toman team, surprised the Saints by playing zone in the first half.

“They play a lot of man-toman,” Woods said. “When they came out and played zone, it caught us off-guard.”

However, at halftime, the

Saints were able to adjust and build the second-half lead by working the ball inside and getting layups.

Justin Hardy – in his first action since suffering a concussion two weeks ago – was the recipient of three of those easy third-quarter scores. Zach Hondlik added a few easy buckets for the Saints in the fourth quarter.

Hardy finished with 16 points for the Saints, while Hondlik added 15 points.

“We tried to work the ball to the middle, and it was able to get us some layups,” Hardy said. “Hondlik gave me some great passes.”

Lavion Baldwin led the Maroons (4-4, 0-2) with 17 first-half points. However, the Saints were able to hold him to three points in the second half.

Hardy’s work inside kept the Saints close in the first half.

He had nine first-half points for East, including two putbacks on rebounds.

Hardy spent most of the fourth quarter on the bench, however, with his conditioning not back yet.

The banged-up Saints (5-2, 1-0) are happy to come away with the victory.

“We had three sophomores on the floor for a lot of the game,” Woods said. “It has been great how guys have stepped up.”

Haggerty A-OK with RS role

I officially joined the legion of Rockyheads when my family emerged from the Stone Age and got cable in the late 1990s, subjecting me to “Rocky” marathons galore on Spike and the Turner networks. It’s a safe bet many would disagree with my final entry, so let’s just say we’re ranking movies on the whole, not simply their effectiveness as workout motivation.

Sylvester Stallone, who wrote the original “Rocky” script in three days upon watching underdog heavyweight Chuck Wepner mount an unexpected challenge against Apollo Creedesque Muhammad Ali, steals his share of scenes in “Creed.”

Still, the film, channeling its title, isn’t wholly about the Italian Stallion.

In the de facto “Rocky VII” – not subtitled “Adrian’s Revenge,” as “The Simpsons” once predicted – the message hinges on creating your legacy and clenching onto it.

Rocky Balboa already has his in a stranglehold when the film opens, but that’s not quite so for Adonis Johnson, Creed’s son from an affair just before his (fictional) inring death.

I last reviewed movies in the summer of 2007 in a brief stint for The Courier in downstate Lincoln, my stop before heading to Chronicle Country. Considering that hiatus and the “Creed” release date, that’s not the aim here.

In true “Rocky” opponent fashion, however, there will be challenge. Should you see “Creed” in a theater with stairs – say you park on the North Avenue side of Charlestowne 18 – I defy you not to vigorously dart up them after the credits roll.

Going the distance, again:

Fans of the “Rocky” franchise often come armed with their own personal power rankings for the boxing films, which welcomed a seventh series member with the Nov. 24 release of “Creed.”

After finally seeing “Creed” in a Monday matinee, here’s my list: 1. “Rocky” (1976) 2. “Rocky Balboa” (2006) 3. “Creed” (2015) 4. “Rocky II” (1979) 5. “Rocky III” (1982) 6. “Rocky V” (1990) 7. “Rocky IV” (1985)

Yes, Virginia, St. Francis senior girls volleyball standout Molly Haggerty still faces and embraces challenges.

In the heart of the holiday season and amid this week’s announcement of her repeat as Gatorade Illinois Volleyball Player of the Year, Haggerty is working to fortify herself as a right side for her club team, Sports Performance.

“It’s kind of new for me, and I’m just going to try to learn all the new skills I need to do at the right side and just better my game overall,” Haggerty said. “It’s just going to be a different view, but it should be interesting.”

Long an outside hitter – including this past season, when she smacked 467 kills to boost St. Francis to the Class 4A state title, the program’s fourth straight crown – the 6-foot-1 Haggerty is eager to broaden herself.

Chances are, internalizing the full rotations of a right side will help the Wisconsin recruit in college.

Haggerty said Badgers coaches have not yet assigned her a definitive position.

It still is more than a year away, but Haggerty eventually will be joined by Geneva junior Grace Loberg, a 6-2 outside, at Wisconsin.

Although Haggerty and Loberg have not been club teammates, Haggerty recalls a positive encounter during a Badgers camp this past summer.

“It was cool to see how our chemistry is going to be,” Haggerty said. “It was cool playing with the recruits and seeing how it’s going to be in the future.”

If you start thinking about the points too much, you kind of get off your game, you know.

Is there any one thing that’s

WEEKEND TV SPORTSWATCH

PREP SCHEDULE

SPORTS | Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com

Steel defenseman Grant Gabriele began the USHL season with Omaha before joining the Steel in an October trade. He’s accustomed to movement between teams and rinks as a USHL veteran, but has enjoyed his time with the Geneva-based Steel, who aren’t far from the league’s Chicago headquarters. An 18-year-old native of Brighton, Michigan who is committed to Western Michigan, Gabriele spoke with Kane County Chronicle sports editor Kevin Druley for the latest edition of the Weekend Chit-chat. Here’s an edited transcript:

WEEKEND LIFE Decisions, decisions – navigating choices can be tough I was working on another column – well, I was getting nowhere with it, actually – when one of my teenagers wandered into my bedroom, flopped into the recliner beside my desk, stretched lanky limbs across its width and exhaled in angst. Seemed a decision had to be made, one that’d been brewing for weeks.

“What does your gut say?”

I asked. I got an arm wave in reply. Like you might get from an ambivalent drowning victim. I spun around in my chair and tried to help.

“What are the pros and cons? Sometimes it helps to list them. See which list feels bigger, heavier,” I suggested, patting the leg I could reach.

Mumbling ensued. Followed by more questions and more

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose mumbling. Seems both sides weighed about the same.

Decisions, decisions. Our lives are an endless series of decisions. The tough ones aren’t clean choices.

I had to pee. When I returned from the bathroom, said kid apparently had flopped again, face down onto my bed. This was serious.

We talked about grief – or I did, anyhow – and about how every time we make a choice, we naturally grieve the thing we didn’t choose. We may not know we’re grieving at the

time, but it happens, even just a little bit, even if our choice yields positive things. And then I did it. I made the rookie parenting mistake of mentioning a time in my own youth when I faced a tough decision.

The kid groaned.

“That’s not the same, mom.” Right. True. So I tried the old pat on the back. Another groan. Sometimes less is more, no? So I stopped trying.

We lay there in silence, near – but not too near – not talking about that thing that needed to be decided. Sometimes that’s enough.

We stayed that way for a while, until I rolled onto my back and realized the dim light from my desk lamp had caused the ceiling fixture to cast a shadow that resembled

a tea pot. And then I said so.

Smooth. (My mother always said I never had an unexpressed thought.)

“Mom, it does not look–” the kid began, before rolling over to look. “Oh, it does.”

Yeah. How ‘bout that? Things look different when you shift your perspective, sometimes.

“How ‘bout you sleep on it?” I tried. “Maybe it’ll look different in the morning.”

“I’ve been sleeping on it for three weeks,” the kid replied, before rolling off the bed and stomping off stage left, while I committed that OTHER parenting blunder and blathered on about how, “I’m not gonna say it because you won’t believe me anyway, but I think you’re awesome and wonderful and yadda, yadda,

yadda,” and – because I was on a roll, “I’ll be proud, no matter what.” Yeah.

“That’s great, mom. You’re supposed to say that. That makes me feel great,” the kid said, retreating down the hall.

I continued staring at the teapot, wondering what the heck just happened, because I very definitely did NOT say that, and in fact said I WASN’T saying that, for that VERY reason, and yeah.

It really was a cool looking teapot.

A tempting cauliflower salad “Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook” (Chronicle) is the third cookbook penned by the author who divides her time between her native London and Paris, where she absorbed much of her culinary knowledge and skills.

Rachel Khoo, who writes a weekly food column for the London Evening Standard, shares more than 100 recipes from her personal notebook and draws from a colorful culinary heritage – including an upbringing by her Malaysian father and Austrian mother.

In the introduction to her latest volume, Khoo notes: “My ideas start with a taste, a flavor and a sketch in my kitchen notebook. My holy grail is to find my cookbook on your bookshelf with greasy fingerprints, foodstain splatters and your own personal scribbles on the recipes.”

A case in point is the author’s recipe, drawn from living her teenage years in Bavaria, for Roasted Cauliflower and Caraway Salad (as follows).

Ever flexible, Khoo notes

• 1 small head of cauliflower, trimmed and separated into bite-size florets • 1 Tbl. olive oil • Sea salt • 2 ½ Tbl. apple cider vinegar • ½ tsp. granulated sugar • ½ tsp. brown mustard • 2 tsp. caraway seeds • 6 slices smoked bacon, finely chopped • 1 small red onion, peeled and finely sliced • 1 unpeeled apple, cored and sliced • Small handful of finely chopped fresh chives

degrees F. Toss the cauliflower florets in the oil and a pinch of salt. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.

In the meantime, whisk together the vinegar, sugar and mustard in a bowl. Dry-fry the caraway seeds in a frying pan over medium-high heat until aromatic and add to the bowl, then return the pan to the heat.

Place the bacon and onion in the pan and fry for about 5 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and cooked through.

Transfer to a salad bowl, then throw in the roasted cauliflower and the apple, and mix. Pour the dressing over and toss everything together.

Taste for salt and sprinkle the chives over the top. This dish can be served warm or cold.

Get ahead: You can make this salad a day in advance, leave it in the refrigerator and serve at room temperature. You also could reheat it in the oven at 325 degrees F for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400

Dear Dr. K : Last year

forget a hat.

• Cover your mouth and nose. This will warm the air as you inhale, making it easier to breathe on very cold or windy days.

• Wear shoes with rugged soles. You may need to trade in your regular walking shoes for a sturdier, hiking-style pair for better traction and more warmth.

• Get noticed. If you must walk when the light is dim, wear reflective gear so motorists can see you.

• Watch out for trouble signs. Head indoors at the first signs of frostbite (numbness, loss of feeling, or a stinging sensation in your fingers or toes) or hypothermia (intense shivering).

• Stay hydrated. You can become dehydrated in the winter, too. Drink plenty of water before you begin your walk.

You also may need to carry water with you.

Always check with your doctor before exercising in cold weather if you have health conditions such as asthma, heart problems or Raynaud’s disease that can be made worse by the cold.

Some avid walkers (not joggers) have a preferred winter walking alternative, eliminating the need for all of the above advice.

They drive to a large indoor mall and walk briskly around the mall for 30 to 60 minutes at least five days a week.

That’s worth considering.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork. com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dr. Wallace: Please, please, do our family a huge favor.

We have a golden Lab that is like a member of our family.

We all love this pooch very much.

Our dog doesn’t bark in English, but she does understand our language. If we ask her if she wants to go for a ride in the car, she will bark, run to the door and wag her tail. If we ask her if she wants to eat, she will run to the kitchen and wait by her food bowl.

When we tell her to get her rag doll, she will run to the bedroom and return with the doll in her mouth.

When my grandparents visit our house they call us “crazy” for talking to our pooch.

They don’t believe the dog understands us, even though they can observe her behavior. This issue is so disturbing that the last time they visited us they got angry and left without even saying goodbye. Their last words were, “We’ve got a crazy family here, run by a stupid dog!”

Quite a while ago our dad said you received a letter from a reader who had a dog that could understand our language and respond to it.

Please print it again and prove our family is not crazy.

I will mail your response to my grandparents and hope

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace they will change their minds and return. – Mishawaka,

Ind. Nameless: There was a time when I, too, thought that dogs could not understand the spoken word, but De from Willmar, Minnesota, changed my mind. Let us hope the following story will have the same effect on your grandparents.

They are important members of your family. They need you, and you need them!

Dr. Wallace: Our family members always enjoy your column and usually agree with you. But we must take issue with your statement that dogs don’t understand spoken words, only tone of voice (loud, harsh words cause a dog to cower while soft words encourage tail-wagging).

Our dog friend, Snooper, is part golden Lab, part golden retriever, the same mixed breed as our previous dog.

We marvel at the intelligence of these pets, their trainability and their desire to please.

These two dogs have been loyal, loving, obedient and wonderful companions who have definitely improved our lives. They are well worth the

extra effort, responsibility and care.

Now as to why we disagree with you: If any of the three of us adults, in speaking with one another, mentions the words “out,” “ride in the car,” “go to the lake” or “treat,” we have our dog’s full attention and she comes to us, wanting to be included even though the words weren’t spoken directly to her. When a pizza is ordered and she is told, she sits at the window watching for the delivery person.

Following each of her two meals per day, she is given a dog biscuit, which is inserted into a big red ball with holes.

This morning, in a deliberate monotone, I mentioned to our son, “I need the big red ball.”

Our pet immediately disappeared into the other room and came back carrying the ball, dropping it at my feet! Just because dogs can’t talk doesn’t mean that they cannot listen and understand!

Please reconsider your opinion that dogs do not understand actual words.

Keep up the good work on your column; your integrity and ethical values instruct your readers in how to live well. Thank you. – De, Will-

mar, Minn.

I started a walking exercise program in the spring.

But by winter, the cold temperatures drove me indoors.

This year, I’d like to keep walking yearround. Any advice?

Dear Reader : Exercising in winter can be difficult, and many avid walkers get derailed when temperatures drop. But with the right clothing and preparation, almost any type of weather can be walking weather: • Warm up indoors.

Cold air can make the transition to workout mode tougher. Doing an exercise warmup indoors will take stress off your heart and make winter walking feel easier.

• Dressing in layers helps you stay warm and dry. Remove and replace layers during your walk as needed.

First layer: Start with a light synthetic fabric, such as CoolMax or polypropylene, closest to your skin on top and bottom. It will pull sweat away from your skin and dry quickly.

Second layer: This is your insulation. Look for a fleece, sweater or sweatshirt made of a synthetic fabric like Polartec or a wool blend that provides warmth while wicking away moisture. (Avoid cotton because it stays wet.)

Third layer: This one protects you from wind, rain or snow. A waterproof or water-resistant breathable jacket and pants, such as those made of Gore-Tex, will keep you warm and dry.

• Protect extremities. Wear a thin, moisture-wicking pair of gloves underneath heavier mittens or gloves. That way you can remove the outer layer without exposing your skin if your hands get sweaty. And don’t

It seems heartless to send it to her now, but after putting so much time and love into it, throwing it away or re-gifting it seems like a terrible option. How can I put this item to good use and cause as little pain as possible? – Anxious Knit-

not be “re-gifting” to give the blanket to someone, since you never gave it in the first place. As I see it, you have a couple of options. You could hold onto it in case your friend becomes pregnant again.

Or how about donating it to a worthy cause, such as a domestic violence shelter or Project Linus (projectlinus. org), which provides blankets to children in need?

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: I have been married to my amazing husband for two years. He has worked his butt off to put me through school, and I am appreciative and thankful.

He recently has been offered a promotion, which means we will have to move from the South to the Midwest. Though I’m not a fan of the idea, I agreed it would be best for us. I grew up in the North, and took the chance to move down south at 18 because I was miserable there. I hate the possibility that I’ll be miserable again, and I’m afraid I may end up resenting my husband.

If he passes up this opportunity, he may not get another. How can I curb my resentment for having to move to another state I’m pretty sure I won’t be happy in? – Florida Girl, For Now Dear Florida Girl: One way would be to recognize that you no longer are the miserable 18-year-old girl you were when you moved down south. You have matured, you have a successful marriage and you won’t be returning alone. Once you relocate, involve yourself in the community so you can make new friends. And last (but not least), because people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be, decide to make the best of this opportunity and allow yourself to be happy.

Dear Abby: I lost my best friend to AIDS in 1995, my father to cancer in 2006 and my husband/lifetime partner to a heart attack in 2007.

My greatest support, John, moved away the following year. A father, friend and partner – too many losses.

John filled the holes in my heart, but he’s also gone now, from leukemia.

I mourn my losses, but cherish the love I have been given. Please remind your

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Do themes come in twos or threes?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

It is an old wive’s tale that unusual things happen in threes.

So, I am expecting to see today’s play theme again soon. It was in the book I reviewed yesterday, “Last Call in the Menagerie.” And here it is in “The Canterbury Bridge Tales”

by David Silver and Tim Bourke (Master Point Press).

This book is a collection of nine stories by Silver, each containing one or two deals from Bourke. Most of these are slams requiring some type of squeeze. This is the easiest in the book. How should South play in six spades after West leads the heart jack?

East made a modern weak jump overcall -- when nonvulnerable, pre-empt with a poor hand, even if the suit’s quality is wanting.

South’s four clubs was a control-bid expressing slam interest. North, although he had a minimum opening, did hold two aces, so he control-bid four hearts. Then Blackwood led to the slam.

Usually, when in a slam, you do best to count winners first; worry about losers second. Here, South has 12 tricks: five spades, two hearts, four diamonds and one club.

But to take those diamond winners, declarer must unblock her acequeen, draw trumps, then cross to the dummy to reach the king-jack.

What is that vital dummy entry?

Given the bad spade break, it must be in hearts.

So, South carefully threw her heart queen under dummy’s ace at trick one. She drew trumps, cashed her diamond honors, led a heart to force an entry to the dummy, and claimed.
