Celebrating the season at the Chronicle EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Gresey A newsroom usually is quite busy.

But it was nice to take some time out Thursday to celebrate the holidays.

That was when our office spent about an hour or so recapping the year, feasting on a potluck lunch (the main dish was sandwiches from Beef Shack in St. Charles – yum!) and playing a few lively holiday games.

Harnessing the spirit of the season, features editor Kara Silva and I donned matching holiday turtlenecks with little red mittens on the collar. The office seemed to get a kick out of how well we matched, and others wore festive attire as well. Who doesn’t like seeing their coworkers wearing reindeer antlers?

It really was nice to enjoy some fun and merriment at the office in the midst of the rush and bustle of the holidays.

It’s just so easy to get stressed out by endless shopping to-do lists, decorating, sending out greeting cards, planning get-togethers, traveling, etc. We’ve all heard it – and many have experienced it – before.

Eric Schelkopf – eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

On behalf of the entire Kane County Chronicle staff, I’d like to wish all of our readers a merry Christmas, happy holidays and safe travels as we head into the new year.

••• Congratulations to the students at St. Peter School in Geneva who participated in the production of “Godspell Jr.” Performances of the musical took place Dec. 12 and 13. I attended the Dec. 13 show and enjoyed the production, which featured fifth- through eighth-graders at St. Peter and was directed by Emily Mueller and Renee Toups.

It was entertaining to see the kids put their acting and singing chops into action, and the musical featured some more comical moments as well.

Over the past week, the song “Day by Day” has continued to pop into my head. Overall, a job well done by those involved with the show.

Like this column? You might be a naturalist Years ago, a thoughtful naturalist, or perhaps a naturalist with too much time on his or her hands, compiled a list of traits that typify us nature nerds. In the style of Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck if …” the list read something like, “You might be a naturalist if … you have to warn people before they open any container in your fridge; you’ve ever stopped to get a closer look at roadkill or, even better, brought it home.” You get the picture.

In the spirit of giving that permeates this festive time of year, we present, as our gift to you, our very own You Might Be a Naturalist … The Holiday Version. Feel free to share it with friends and family so they, too, can gauge their naturalist traits – or at least be aware of what they’re in for when you join them ‘round the wassail bowl.

You might be a naturalist if …

At the Christmas tree lot, you pick the tree with the crooked trunk and scraggly branches because it has a bird nest in it.

You’re just as interested in mistletoe’s hemi-parasitic relationship with its host tree as you are in any human relationship that might have led you to buy a sprig. Maybe even more so.

Your “Wish List” includes something called Repliscat.

You use your Christmas orange to explain plate tectonics and continental drift. (Here’s how! Remove the orange peel in as few pieces as possible.

Flatten the pieces out on the table and explain to all who will listen that they represent the plates of the earth’s crust.

Next, put the pieces back on the orange – use a toothpick to secure them if you need to – and tell how the cracks represent fault lines. Then lightly twist the orange to move the

the animals in “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and learn that day four actually refers to “colly birds,” not “calling birds,” which is what you’d been singing all these years.

You dig further and find out that colly birds are European blackbirds, Turdus merula, and, unlike our local blackbird species, are members of the thrush family.

With shopping and wrapping still not done, you delve deeper and discover that “five golden rings” likely refers to ring-necked birds – perhaps pheasants – and not the jewelry you’d always pictured.

You relinquish all thoughts of heading out to shop, knowing that you can always hit up the gigantic rack of gift cards at Jewel, and spend what you deem a very pleasant evening learning more about swans a-swimming, geese a-laying, French hens, turtle doves and of course that partridge – likely the French red-legged partridge, Alectoris rufa – in a pear tree, Pyrus communis.

AGAIN After 28 years, Kentucky woman reunited with her pony at Casey’s

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com

LBURN – Standing in her space, behind a wooden sign identifying her as “Autumn,” the pony calmly munched on her food Friday at a stable at Casey’s Safe Haven, a horse rescue facility located on Brundige Road near Elburn.

A few feet away stood a woman who looked lovingly at the pony. The woman, Jacqueline Helton-Briggs, had driven in from Kentucky. She stood next to Sue Balla, the president of Casey’s. It was the first time they had met, but they had been talking for a month.

But Helton-Briggs and the pony? They were old friends.

After a 28-year quest to find her “best friend” from her childhood, she said she was convinced that she had found her pony at long last. Now that she was able to see her again, she said she knew for sure. And when she heads back home, she said the pony will have the name she gave her as a teenager, Knickers.

And she’ll be taking her home at long last.

Balla said the entire scenario was a shocker, something she calls “a Christmas miracle.”

“We truly thought that she would die of old age here,” Balla said of Autumn. “Who buys a 38-year-old pony?”

It had been 28 years since Helton-Briggs, then a college student, learned that her pony had been sold. She said it was a decision made by her father, who had been caring for the pony while she was away at

school. Heartbroken, she said she later tracked the pony down, only to learn that her next owner had died, and the ponies in his care had been sold, likely to farms north of Kentucky. She said she never gave up hope of finding her pony.

Last month, she said she decided to check out a website called Petfinder.com, inspired by a feeling she had. On page 68 of the horses, she said, she saw a sight that made her stop.

“I knew it was her,” Helton-Briggs said. She added that, though it was 4 a.m., she almost wanted to call right away to talk to Balla. She said she instead waited for a reasonable hour and made the call.

Balla said she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

Balla said it’s not unusual for her to get calls about the ponies housed at Casey’s, and she said every one of them will be available to view at Petfinder.com. But she never

had heard of such a story – a decades-long search for an old friend, and someone wanting to adopt a pony with significant special needs.

Balla said it took a tremendous amount of work to rehabilitate Autumn over two years. She said the pony had been undernourished when she arrived at Casey’s. She had cataracts in both eyes, a bad cut on her right cheek and teeth that badly needed to be addressed. The pony had issues with diarrhea,

and it took consultation with four veterinarians before a solution – switching her food to sweet potatoes – was found.

Balla joked that she called Autumn her “million-dollar horse.”

The women talked for a while, and Balla said she quizzed the Kentucky resident for a long time. Helton-Briggs knew everything about the pony, she said, and she became convinced that it was

Helton-Briggs had as a child.

Balla said the pony came to Casey’s after having been employed at a farm that provides pony rides. That matches the profile of a pony that had been sold from Kentucky to someplace north. But Helton-Briggs said she just knew, and Balla said she understood.

“As soon as I saw the picture [at Petfinder.com], that was it,” Helton-Briggs said.

“I spent every day with her [while growing up].”

Said Balla: “Somebody said to me, will she know who she is? I said, I’ve been divorced 20 years, but I know my ex-husband. I can tell you every inch of my horses. … Plus, who is going to call from how many hundreds of miles away, wanting to adopt a 38-year-old

horse with special needs?”

Balla said she will miss Autumn, after such a rehabilitation effort and the reward of watching the pony recover.

But, she said, that is what

Casey’s is meant to do. Helton-Briggs said it was appreciated, adding that without the care from Balla and the many volunteers at Casey’s, it’s likely Autumn likely wouldn’t

still be alive for her to find.

“We didn’t give up on her,” Balla said.

“And I wouldn’t give up looking for her,” HeltonBriggs said.

a true story. Still, she said she wanted to make sure. She said there was no way those at Casey’s would put so much time and effort into a pony and then let it walk into a bad situation.

“If it ain’t warm and fuzzy, it ain’t happening,” Balla said.

She told Helton-Briggs that she would also have to take Nemo, believed to be Autumn’s offspring.

“She said, ‘I wouldn’t want to separate family,’ ” Balla said.

Finally, they arranged to have Helton-Briggs come up and meet Autumn, who again will be known as Knickers, for the trip to Kentucky.

Helton-Briggs is spending the weekend at Casey’s, learning the nuances of caring for the ponies, before heading back down to Kentucky.

It might be impossible to know for certain that Autumn is indeed the same pony

East students expelled for attack on D-303 network Teens prevented Internet access by overloading school’s system

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Two St. Charles East High School students in November were expelled from St. Charles School District 303 because of an attack they launched on the district’s network, Superintendent Don Schlomann confirmed Friday.

The attacks shut people out of the district’s Internet at various times between Sept. 29 and Nov. 4. It happened three or four times a day and would prevent Internet access anywhere from 20 minutes to four hours at a time, Schlomann said.

“Imagine what it was like for a teacher in a classroom full of kids with a lesson plan ready to go [using the Internet],” he said. “It was a very difficult thing to overcome.”

The students were removed from their classes for the rest of the year after a Nov. 17 expulsion hearing. They will be allowed to re-enroll next school year and in the mean-

time are enrolled in an online school, Schlomann said.

Once confronted by the district, the students admitted to using their cellphones and the district’s IP address to issue a denial-of-service attack, which involved overloading the school’s system with data and page view requests, Schlomann said.

They learned the technique through a fellow online gamer named “Swag” to bump some of their opponents offline, and they decided to try the method out on the school Internet, he said.

“I don’t think they ever recognized that they were impacting the whole district,” Schlomann said of the students.

District officials at first thought it was some sort of virus in their network, then they realized the attack always occurred during weekdays when school was in session, Schlomann said.

Working with the Secret Service, FBI, St. Charles police, district Internet provider Comcast, a school district in

Wisconsin that faced a similar attack and other outside consultants at a cost of $9,000, school officials were able to trace the attacks to St. Charles East, then specific areas of the school, Schlomann said.

The attacks were not easily traceable – they could only be researched as they were happening, he said.

The district finally was able to catch the students after word of mouth about their attack spread among other students, who told school officials what they heard, Schlomann said.

Schlomann said the students also faced legal charges, the outcome of which is sealed in court records since they are juveniles.

The district never before has experienced an attack of this kind on its network, Schlomann said.

It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to prevent a similar type of attack in the future, but he said any person caught would face penalties like the two expelled St. Charles East students.

“From a deterrent standpoint, hopefully these kind of sanctions … will prevent this from happening again,” Schlomann said.

St. Charles police announce holiday traffic enforcement editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles police began their next drunken driving and seat belt enforcement campaign Friday, the department announced in a news release.

The crackdown will continue through Jan. 4, in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Transportation’s Sustained Traffic Enforcement Program – or STEP – named “Click It or Ticket/ Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,” the release states.

Seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes, according to the release.

The traffic program aims to reduce the number of severe injuries and deaths from traffic crashes; to achieve higher use of safety belts and child safety seats; and to achieve a lower incidence of injuries and fatalities from impaired driving, the release states.

Research has shown that when seat belts are used properly, the risk of fatal injury to front-seat passengers is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent, according to the release.

OUR VIEW: THUMBS-UP/THUMBS-DOWN Thumbs-up to a tradition of giving by young people in the Tri-Cities area. Although a complete list of such good deeds certainly would be extensive, this specific salute honors two groups – students at Grace McWayne Elementary School in Batavia, as well as those involved in the St. Charles North and East drill teams’ annual Kick-A-Thon event.

Grace McWayne students recently completed their annual toy drive to benefit the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program, which assists families in need. This year, 500 toys were provided by the Grace McWayne program, which is in its sixth year.

At St. Charles North and East high schools, the drill teams’ annual Kick-A-Thon brought in $100,021.14 this year.

Organizers said that was a record for the event, which is in its 21st year. They added that, over the years, the fundraiser has brought in $878,040.

The Kick-A-Thon, an event during which drill team members and community representatives form a kick line and execute 100 kicks to “kick cancer,” this year raised funds for the American Cancer Society, the LivingWell Cancer Resource Center and Fox Valley Food For Health.

The Kick-A-Thon provides a model for groups that aim to grow over a period of time. In its first year, the event raised $2,700. In the years after that, that number increased, and in 2001, it raised $10,000 for the first time. In 2006, it raised more than $50,000. Last year, it hit $100,000 for the first time.

Those involved in these endeavors deserve praise. Their hard work is making a difference in our communities.

Thumbs-down to anyone who might attempt to spoil Christmas cheer by swiping packages from residents’ door steps.

The St. Charles Police Department reported it has identified as many as 15 victims of mail theft this holiday season. As of Friday morning, the case remained under investigation and no one had been charged in the theft of the mail.

According to police reports, officers this month investigated complaints of a suspicious person possibly stealing packages from door steps. Such opportunities are more plentiful than normal in December, as people might order gifts, and packages might end up left outside of their homes if they are delivered while they are away.

There are a few measures people can take to minimize the risk. If they know there’s a good chance nobody will be home when their package is delivered, they might opt to have it delivered to a friend or relative who is more likely to be home. In an email, a United States Post Office representative stated that those who observe a mail theft should call police immediately, then call 877-876-2455. Among other tips from the post office: • If you won’t be home when items are expected, ask a trusted friend or neighbor to pick up your mail.

• There are options, such as “Priority Express,” that allow customers to “better manage the receipt of your important packages.”

• And customers can purchase insurance to provide options in the event of loss, theft or breakage.

It’s easy to get lost in the Christmas shopping shuffle and forget to take steps to protect yourself. Don’t let the grinch ruin your fun.

ANOTHER VIEW

U.S. should be careful not to overreact to attack on Sony BLOOMBERG NEWS Like so many Hollywood movies, North Korea’s offensive against Sony Pictures Entertainment could end badly – which is why U.S. officials have to be careful not to overreact.

Theater companies already have succumbed to threats of terrorism by pulling the movie “The Interview” from their schedules. Sony then canceled the release of the film altogether. Now that unnamed U.S. officials have claimed North Korea is behind the cyberattack that crippled Sony’s com-

puters, some are calling for the government to retaliate. That would be a mistake.

True enough, the North’s cyber-army is a growing threat. By some estimates, it has nearly doubled in size in the past two years. And the attack on Sony displayed a degree of sophistication that Pyongyang’s cyberwarriors were not previously known to possess. No doubt, the regime is eager to improve those capabilities further; hackers and malware are much cheaper (and easier to hide) than nuclear centrifuges and ballistic missiles.

What’s more, the North’s perceived enemies – especially their militaries – are all far more dependent on Internet-based systems than it is, and the “air gap” between its Internet infrastructure and the rest of the world’s helps insulate against counterattacks.

Still, Sony and other corporations can’t expect the U.S. government to respond to every attack on their behalf.

However embarrassing and costly to the studio, the hacking represents a cybercrime, not an act of cyberterrorism directed at civilians or vital national infrastructure.

STC NORTH 59, LARKIN 46

North’s climb continues North Stars top Larkin, win fourth straight on heels of three-game skid

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – It was less than two weeks ago that the St. Charles North boys basketball team was floundering badly, losers of three straight games, and all by double figures.

On Friday, the North Stars demonstrated how far they’ve come in a short period of time, claiming their most impressive victory of a current fourgame winning streak, 59-46 over Larkin in Upstate Eight Conference River play.

North senior forward Jack Callaghan thinks the win signals the North Stars shouldn’t be an afterthought in the conference race.

“We lost both to Larkin last year so it was a nice grudge match to get back to them. …

And also to send a message to the rest of the conference that we’re legit,” Callaghan said.

“We’re 4-1 in conference now.

We’re going to compete for a title, and we just want to send a message to everyone else.”

The North Stars started the season 2-4 and absorbed a pair of humbling losses to crosstown rival St. Charles East during that rocky start. After the second loss to the Saints, North coach Tom Poulin vowed his team would earn people’s respect before the season was through.

But Poulin couldn’t have known North would make such swift headway.

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried, but knowing these kids, honestly, they kind of said enough’s enough,” Poulin said. “They really did some self-evaluation, and we’ve spent a lot of time in there watching film. We have.

I mean, I think they’re sick and tired of me pausing the film and pointing things out, but we’re getting better.

“It wasn’t the best start to the season as far as win-loss, but the experiences were real valuable and we found out a lot about ourselves, what our weaknesses were and what we needed to work on. I think the

With the exception of a poor second quarter, North (6-4, 4-1 UEC River) outplayed Larkin (7-4, 4-2 UEC River) throughout the night. But the North Stars’ hold on the game appeared fragile with lead guard Jake Ludwig sidelined with four fouls and the Royals within 43-39 on a long Keyvon Kyles 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter.

North didn’t succumb to the rising tension. Reserve guard Armon Osborne finished a nifty drive to bump the lead back to six, and free throws by Callaghan plus a short Brendan McCarthy jumper restored a double-digit advantage as Ludwig returned at the 6:53 mark of the fourth quarter.

Ludwig led North with 19 points and Callaghan added 18 plus eight rebounds. The 6-foot-2 Callaghan excelled at drawing contact around the rim despite Larkin’s taller defenders.

“I utilized the pump fake pretty well to get them in the air, and then I think I’m stronger than all of them down low,” said Callaghan, a linebacker in football.

Callaghan’s confident presence helped reassure the North Stars as Larkin tightened the game.

“Every coach says it now but you have a glue guy, and he’s a pretty good glue guy,” Poulin said of Callaghan.

“Sometimes they’re kind of role players but he plays a large role for us. He kind of keeps us together.”

Poulin also praised sophomore forward Griffin Hammer, a recent insertion into North’s starting lineup who helped keep Royals big men Christian Negron and Daniel McFadden to quiet nights.

Poulin said coaches preached “shrinking the defense,” with everyone trying to get a foot in the paint to lend help when the Royals sought post touches.

“It was a team effort, but I thought Griffin Hammer stepped up big time as far as defending Christian,” Poulin said. “That was a great effort

by Griffin. He was locked in with what our game plan was asking him to do. Griffin just keeps taking steps forward.”

North led, 18-8, after a first quarter in which junior guard Mikey Schroeder (12 points) and Ludwig each drained a

pair of 3-pointers. The Royals drew within 25-22 by halftime but North showcased some of the defensive grit it ultimately sustained with an inspired stand to close the half, denying the Royals a shot attempt.

Kyles led the Royals with 17 points and Negron had 11 rebounds to go with six points, but the two-time defending conference champion Royals were mostly flat.

“We were missing shots that we can make but we didn’t get much offense from our defense, which is a big staple of what we do,” Royals coach Deryn Carter said. “That’s why we end up with the amount of points that we ended up with.”

North returns to action with a 9 a.m. opener at the Pontiac Holiday Tournament on Dec. 29 against Warren.

pretty much my coach at the beginning. He taught me how to kick pretty much because I was kicking it like a soccer ball still. … And he introduced me to the right people, and really got me started on the right track, so you have to give a lot of credit to him.”

Davis said he has field goal range from well beyond 50 yards and is thrilled with how much progress he’s made in less than six months. He fully expects to be in the mix to win the kicking job for the Nittany Lions, and doesn’t expect the infamous pressure that comes with his newfound craft to trip him up.

“Kicking is a lot mental,” Davis said. “A lot of kickers can do it in practice and never miss a field goal but once they get in the game and have a bunch of people watching, they freak out. That’s not who I am. I like pressure. I deal with it well and I’ve always performed well in pressure situations.”

Yet there’s little question the pressure – and the fanfare – is about to ramp up for Davis.

simply intended to “mess around and see what kicking was like.” As Davis’ strong leg proved equal to the task, he decided to sign up for a kicking camp at Lewis University run by kicking guru Chris Sailer. Despite Davis being only a few weeks into learning the nuances of booting footballs, Davis won the field goal and kickoff competitions at the camp.

At that point, he knew his football flirtation was more than a lark.

Davis realized football recruiting interest might surface after his credibility-building camp showing, but to begin hearing from coaches, he needed a release from his soccer scholarship at Bradley, which does not field a football team. Arriving at that decision proved painful.

Davis, the Kane County Chronicle’s Boys Soccer Player of the Year his junior season at North, saw an immediate role at BU, starting several matches as an outside back.

“That’s why it took a

month for me to [seek a release], because it was so hard,” said Davis, who focused on club soccer his senior year at North. “I love soccer, I still do, and I loved my team at Bradley, so that was definitely a hard phone call to make. I definitely dreaded it for long time.”

Davis’ father, Timothy, is a former track and field athlete at Bradley, to boot.

“He’s a huge football fan,” Davis said. “He’s definitely going to miss soccer ... but football is definitely his favorite sport, so he was not too upset.”

With one major decision made, another loomed. Davis said he visited Ohio State and Indiana in addition to Penn State, but considered an especially welcoming atmosphere in State College the decisive factor.

Davis, who took a class at Elgin Community College during the fall, will head to Penn State next month and have three years of eligibility with the Nittany Lions.

It’s been a dizzying turn of events. Davis said he and Eickert shared a social circle in high school but weren’t especially close. That’s changed markedly in recent months.

“Alec has helped me a ton,” Davis said. “He was

Noting solid fan support for the Bradley University men’s soccer team, St. Charles North product Tyler Davis said he was impressed that crowds sometimes exceeded 1,000 people for some of the Braves’ games.

Davis is prepared for a few more fannies in the seats at his next stop. Earlier this week, he confirmed he’s transferring to Penn State, where he will be a preferred walk-on place kicker for the Nittany Lions’ football team.

“It’s definitely hard to believe for sure that just a year ago I never kicked a football, really, and now I’m going to play at one of the biggest schools,” Davis said. “They have 107,000 fans at their games. It just seems crazy this all happened.”

Davis said he had a quality experience playing soccer at Bradley last year and had no notion of transferring from the Peoria school.

But as the summer unfolded, Davis reconnected with friend Alec Eickert – now a college place kicker at Oregon who split his high school career among St. Charles North and Aurora Christian – and Eickert recognized major place kicking potential in Davis.

Initially, Davis said he

guard play gave the Bulldogs a 43-33 lead going to halftime.

Coffey knocked down 4 of 5 from behind the arc in the first quarter and led Batavia with 17 points after the first half.

“All we wanted to do was come out strong. That has been our main goal this whole year,” Coffey said. “It was awesome. It was fun finally getting momentum in games and riding that the full way through. Those guards for them were tough; they were quick and hit shots. I think our guards did well in the second half.”

Bulldogs (6-4, 2-4 UEC River) coach Jim Nazos said Coffey’s hot hand helped the Bulldogs get away with some defensive mistakes in the first half.

“What it does is some of the defensive things that lapsed. It kind of overshadowed it a little bit,” Nazos said. “It let us get our feet going and figure things out and kind of gave us a shot in the arm when we’re trying to go through it. It’s a tremendous boost. He shoots all the time, it’s one of the things he does.”

KIRHOFER’S SPORTS

By DEREK WOLFF editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The Batavia boys basketball team’s bench saw plenty of playing time again as the Bulldogs cruised past Elgin, 85-47, on Friday in Upstate Eight Conference River Division play.

Batavia pulled away in the second half, increasing the lead to 65-39 when Brett Bowman hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to end the third quarter and turning what had been a competitive game into a rout.

Canaan Coffey led the Bulldogs with 20 points and hit a team high six 3-pointers, while Chasen Peez had 17 and picked up four boards.

“I just wanted to shoot,” Coffey said. “They started off in a zone and I had a shooter’s mentality. I credit my teammates.

They’re always finding me, finding me in transition and I just had the hot hand tonight.

It was fun seeing everyone else getting into it, too.”

In the first half, Batavia’s

Desmond Douglas was the lone bright spot for Elgin, finishing the night with 28 points.

Douglas was a factor on nearly every scoring play for the Maroons in the first half and kept his team in the game with 22 points, two assists and three steals.

Fatigue set in in the second half and the Bulldogs limited the mistakes, but Douglas was the key to the Maroons’ success.

“He’s a good player,” Nazos said. “He got to the line a little bit. Defensively, we were a little more disciplined in the second half. We played pretty hard in the first half but we did some things undisciplined wise and they’re good players. They took advantage of that.”

Batavia knocked down 16 3-pointers in the contest and got contributions from throughout the lineup, with nearly every Bulldog registering at least one point.

Peez, a 6-foot-7 senior knocked, knocked down three of the Bulldogs’ 16 made 3-pointers..

tinely preaches. The Sabres fell to 0-10, 0-6 in conference play.

“We just wanted to play good, solid defense. I’m still irritated we gave up 77 points last Saturday. … I didn’t like that,” Ralston said. “But I told our guys that last week’s game was more about our turnovers that created points for them rather than some of the defense. Because we did play some good defense last week, it just wasn’t consistent.

“This was a little bit better. Other than a two-minute stretch here and a two-minute stretch at the end, I thought our defense was really, really solid tonight.”

Buffalo recruit Nate Navigato provided the offensive flash, scoring a game-high 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in two-plus quarters. Fuzak was next with 12.

In the girls game, full-court pressure and interior nastiness propelled Geneva (10-0,

5-0). The Vikings navigated early foul trouble – senior wing Abby Novak (10 points) and sophomore post Grace Loberg (nine points) both had a pair of first-quarter fouls – while enduring shaky shooting in the second quarter after a hot start.

Geneva made 8 of 13 field goals in the first quarter but went just 5 of 19 from the field in the second. Streamwood (37, 1-4) moved the ball well in spots, but Geneva freshman guard Stephanie Hart’s hustle and rebounding helped thwart any sustained Sabres runs.

“Steph is a good basketball player, and I think with every game, she gets more confident,” Vikings coach Sarah Meadows said.

Starting alongside classmate Margaret Whitley, who already is showing breakout scoring potential with a 20-point game at Batavia earlier this month, Hart keeps

excelling behind a sound grasp of the fundamentals.

Teammates have noticed both freshmen taking quickly to the pace of varsity play.

“They’re definitely fitting in really well, and it’s really fun playing with them,” senior guard Courtney Reynolds said. “They both have good court awareness, and it’s just really cool to play with them and see how much they’ve improved. They fit in so well and we’re all good friends with them, so it’s a lot of fun.”

Senior forward Mike Landi didn’t play in the boys game.

Ralston declined to elaborate on the reason, but said Landi was set to return next week.

The 6-foot-8 multisport standout sported the traditional look of a coach – a coat and tie – as part of his wardrobe.

‘He looked better than I did,” Ralston said. “I told him he dresses nice when he goes to the nines.”

GENEVA – Intermittent public address announcements during Friday’s girlsboys basketball doubleheader between Geneva and Streamwood appealed to last-minute holiday shoppers.

With respect to the spirit wear available outside the contest gym, Vikings athletes elected to pass. Both the girls and boys teams like the idea of re-gifting this season. In this case, that entails getting key injured players back into the fold.

While senior girls forward Janie McCloughan (mild concussion) and senior boys guard Pace Temple (knee) missed their teams’ 58-33 (girls) and 53-30 (boys) Upstate Eight Conference River Division victories, the prognoses for their returns are sunnier than ever.

McCloughan, out since

Dec. 4, is expected back when the Vikings open Montini Christmas tournament play Dec. 26 (at the inviting tip time of 8 a.m., no less).

Temple, who’s been sidelined since the quarterfinal round of last month’s football playoffs, looks to return in early January, after the Vikings conclude holiday tournament play at East Aurora.

Meanwhile, another recent returnee to the boys team, senior forward Chandler Fuzak, elevated for a first-quarter dunk in his third game back from lingering ankle trouble.

“I mean, I lost power, definitely, but right now I’m rehabbing and getting everything done that I’m supposed to,” Fuzak said.

Vikings coach Phil Ralston would appreciate that last phrase. In its first action since last week’s loss at St. Charles East, Geneva (7-1, 3-1 UEC River) responded with the defensive intensity Ralston rou-

Northern Illinois sophomore running back Joel Bouagnon enters Tuesday’s Boca Raton Bowl against Marshall with 100 carries for 573 yards and five touchdowns – a significant leap from his 22 carries for 86 yards as a true freshman in 2013. The Aurora Christian product, who began his prep career at Burlington Central, also has a touchdown reception as a backfield receiving threat. Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Kevin Druley caught up with Bouagnon for the latest Weekend Chit-chat, discussing Bouagnon’s increased role, high school and NIU teammate Chad Beebe’s recent broken arm and other topics. The following is an edited transcript:

How has your comfort zone progressed as the season has gone on?

I feel good, you know. I mean, nothing changes. Just keep working every day. My comfort level is good, and it’s high since were at the end of the season now. … I’m just working at it every day.

I’ve felt good. I’m part of the offense this year and been actually getting into games this year. It’s good.

Trouble was, the North Stars also forfeited four matches, which ultimately accumulated in a 36-35 Upstate Eight Conference River Division defeat.

“It’s tough,” North coach Ben Hummel said. “I mean, we won eight of the 14 matches overall even with the forfeits, but we still lost because of the forfeits. … I was pretty happy overall. We have guys

BOYS BASKETBALL: WHEATON ACADEMY 70, IC CATHOLIC PREP 56

Smith erupts as Wheaton Academy snaps losing skid

By KEVIN BEESE editorial@kcchronicle.com WEST CHICAGO – With less than 10 seconds remaining in the third quarter of the Wheaton Academy boys basketball team’s 70-56 win Friday night over IC Catholic Prep, the Warriors’ Christian Smith stole a ball under the IC basket.

He went coast to coast, scoring on a layup and getting fouled on the play. As he went to the free-throw line, the student section under the

Warriors’ basket erupted with chants of “MVP! MVP!” It was that kind of night for Smith as he scored 29 points in helping the Warriors break an eightgame losing streak.

“I smiled going to the line,” Smith said of the MVP chants.

“I know a lot of those guys.”

Along with being the game’s leading scorer, the Warriors senior guard also had seven steals, a rebound and a blocked shot.

“I don’t really pay attention to how many points I have, it’s

just good to win,” Smith said. “I may have had a good game, but we also got good games from Evan (Williams), Jacob (Lindstedt) and Bryce (Sandberg.) It was just a great team win.”

For a team that won 20 games last year, the Warriors’ second win of 2014-15 was a long time coming. Wheaton Academy (2-8, 1-2) had not won since Nov. 24 when it topped Streamwood in its first game of its own Thanksgiving tournament.

Warriors coach Pete Froed-

den credited his troops with staying the course through the eight-game skid.

“They never doubted the program. They never doubted themselves. They never doubted the coaches,” Froedden said.

“These kids have been resilient.”

Froedden hopes Friday night’s performance gets Smith on a streak of his own.

“We have seen him be explosive before, but he has not done it consistently,” Froedden said of his son. “I hope this is a

confidence-builder for him and this success continues.”

Lindstedt was a force inside for the Warriors, pulling down six rebounds against the Knights (5-4, 2-2), blocking three shots and scoring five points.

“Jacob had an impressive night for us. He was a force on the boards,” Froedden said of the senior forward. “He got some blocks and crashed the board for us. And he is strong.

He has one of the strongest lower bodies I have ever seen.”

WEEKEND LIFE Santa is the spirit of loving, giving Don’t believe in Santa Claus? A friend’s recent conversation with her 12-year-old son, who reportedly “refuses to believe that Santa doesn’t exist,” inspired me to dust off my old column on the subject, published five years ago. It’s reprinted here.

••• Santa shops at Jewel, so says my 8-year-old daughter, Holly.

“That was Santa!” she whispered Thursday afternoon, as a white-bearded man pushing a grocery cart ambled past in the ice cream aisle, where she and Noah debated about whether to buy sherbet or vanilla ice cream. “He had toys in his cart,” she said, wide-eyed. “Let’s follow him!”

“He did? Awesome! Let’s go,” I replied, and spun the cart around. Holly grabbed my cart.

“He’s got a white beard. I saw him.

But he’s wearing camouflage, Mom,” she whispered, concerned.

“Maybe he’s trying to blend in.

You know, disguise himself?” I suggested.

“Don’t follow him,” she implored, but it was too late. I wanted to know if the guy really had toys in his cart. I jogged a few feet away to get a better look.

The kids feigned interest in a rack of bargain-priced earmuffs as I got a gander at Holly’s would-be Santa.

Long, white beard, check. Big belly, check. Toys? No, the only stuff in this Santa’s sleigh was a pair of fridge-

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose packs. Diet Coke.

“Could Santa be trimming his tummy?” I wondered. Holly shrugged, but I could see that the wheels were turning.

Her questions about the jolly fellow’s existence have recently hit a fever pitch.

“Megan says Santa isn’t real,” she announced a few days earlier, as she settled into the back seat of the car after school.

“What do you think?” I asked.

I studied her face in my rear-view mirror.

“I think he is,” she replied.

“Good for you,” I said.

As for Noah, for several Christmas Eve’s he’s tracked Santa’s progress through the skies via the NORAD Santa tracker, a website created by the North American Aerospace Defense Command. When he and Holly were really little, we found evidence of Santa’s existence. One Christmas morning it was a white boot print on the hearth. A few years later, it was the piece of torn red cloth we saw stuck to the fireplace grate.

The following year, sleigh bells were discovered on the front lawn.

“Do you believe in Santa?” I asked Noah later, as we headed somewhere in the car.

“Yes,” he replied. I studied his face in the rear-view mirror, too. Nothing.

“Cool,” I said, stifling a giggle. Because these days, instead of writing letters to Santa, which Holly does with fervor, Noah simply tapes newly edited versions of his Christmas list above my desk. He cracks me up.

Though I’m tempted to take credit for the big-ticket items under the tree, I’m in no hurry for my children to give up on Santa.

But really, why give him up at all?

There are dozens of biographies of St. Nicholas, a real man whom such accounts report was born around 270 A.D. in a village then called Patara – a Greek province in Asia Minor (now Turkish territory) – that consistently bear witness to the fact that Nicholas was and is a fine model for the compassionate life.

Born into a wealthy family, his devout Christian parents died during his youth, leaving an inheritance. Nicholas felt called to live simply and to share his wealth with the needy, but preferred to do so without attracting attention.

A famous tale tells of his leaving gold coins in the home of a poor man.

He left enough for three dowries so the man’s daughters could marry, ensuring they’d be spared difficult lives.

Various accounts report that Nicholas tossed satchels of coins, landing

them in the daughters’ shoes and in their stockings, which hung by the fire, inspiring ensuing traditions.

Nicholas, who eventually was appointed the Bishop of Myra for his continued good works, was later dubbed “Saint Nicholas” after somehow surviving religious persecution for his Christian faith.

During his life, and, some accounts claim, even well after his death (he lived about 73 years and died Dec. 6, 343 A.D.), St. Nicholas is said to have come to the aid of numerous children and others in need, doing many kind and generous deeds in secret – and, apparently, in spirit – while expecting nothing in return.

Doing good deeds, often anonymously, without expecting anything in return. Imagine that?

In spite of the co-opting of his legacy for commercial gain, folks of every stripe and walk of faith can appreciate Santa’s unimpeachable morals.

So, for the sake of my kids and yours, I gotta say, yes, there really is a Santa. We need not be tongue-tied when faced with their questions.

After all, as I tell my children – and my dear Mom always told me – Santa is the spirit of loving and giving in our hearts.

That’s real enough for me.

EvenFlow, Jon Conover launch singer/songwriter series KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE neighbors@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – EvenFlow Music and Spirits and singer/songwriter Jon Conover will host an evening of original music performed by local, regional and national touring acts from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 21.

The performance lineup will be Zach Cannella from 5 to 5:15 p.m.; the Jennifer Fletcher Trio from 5:20 to 6 p.m.; Marco Saporito and Nate Bradac from 6:05 to 6:45 p.m.; Alyse Black from 6:50 to 7:45 p.m.; and Jon Conover from 7:50 to 8:30 p.m.

Conover is based in the Chicago area and has performed all over the U.S. and Ireland and

does more than 200 shows a year.

In September, he recorded his “Keep Believing (Nashville Sessions)” which is a collection of original Americana songs that are closer to country and bluegrass than Conover’s first two albums.

Black started out belting Billie Holiday tunes a cappella on the streets of Pike Place Market in Seattle. Since then, she’s performed on Seattle’s NPR station, recorded a commercial for Target, moved to Austin, won Billboard’s annual songwriting contest, had several songs placed in movies and TV shows, and toured the country playing in more than 600 clubs, theaters, festivals, television shows and

radio stations, according to a news release.

Jennifer Fletcher performs Americana music. Through songwriting and performing with accomplished musicians Frank Loria, Jason Vinluan and Jeremy Schmidt, she paints a portrait of life, love and laughter through their songs.

Saporito, a musician, band leader, guitar instructor and songwriter, will be teaming up with multi-instrumentalist, Bradac to perform several of the their own original songs.

The duo will perform a mix of acoustic, folk-inspired songs.

Dear Abby: I’m a 15-year-old girl. For the past year I have been self-injuring. I take a sharp object and scrape the skin off until it bleeds. My mom saw the scars on my arm. I have 15 other ones, but she doesn’t know about them.

I have to keep lying to her and it hurts. I want to stop, but I can’t.

How can I tell her I lied? I know she will be very upset. – Stuck In Utah Dear Stuck: Go to your mother, tell her that you need to talk to her about something important, but you are afraid she will be angry with you. Ask her to hear you out before she reacts. Then tell her everything you have told me and ask for her help. That’s what mothers are for.

If necessary, show her your letter to me and my response because she needs to understand that when individuals self-injure,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips it is often to cope with serious depression – which is an illness – and it takes the help of a mental health professional to stop.

Dear Abby: My husband took up the guitar about 10 years ago.

I thought it was a great idea at first and encouraged his interest.

Within two years of his learning to play, I was expected to sit, listen to him and never interrupt a song.

Needless to say, his demands have not gone over well with me.

This is his hobby, not mine. He plays well, but can’t sing a note.

When he does, he sounds like a cat in heat, and he likes to perform like he’s playing for a crowd.

My peace and quiet at home

are gone. He says I don’t support him. What is your take on this? – Wants Peace And Quiet Dear Wants: Your husband wants praise and validation, and you should give it to him in the area where it’s deserved – for having mastered the guitar.

However, because his singing needs tweaking, be honest and tactfully suggest he find a vocal coach to help him in that area. If he reacts defensively, be sure to mention that some of the finest singers in the world get coaching throughout their careers to avoid damaging their vocal cords.

PS. Perhaps you should encourage him to find other musicians to start a group. That way, he’ll have an outlet for his talent and you’ll be free (at last!).

Study suggests link between anti-anxiety drugs, dementia Dear Doctor K: I’m an older woman who sometimes takes Valium or Xanax for anxiety or if I’m unable to fall asleep. I recently heard that this type of medication may cause dementia.

Should I stop using it?

Dear Reader: Valium and Xanax are benzodiazepines, a type of anti-anxiety drug. Like you, many people take these drugs to calm their nerves or help them sleep.

And as you’ve heard, a recent study raised the possibility that benzodiazepine use may lead to dementia.

For the study, researchers identified nearly 2,000 men and women over age 66 who were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. They randomly selected more than 7,000 other men and women without Alzheimer’s.

The researchers looked at what drugs the study subjects had been prescribed in the five to six years before their Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

They found that people who had taken benzodiazepines for a long time had an increased risk of Alzheimer’s. People who had taken a benzodiazepine for three months or less had about the same dementia risk as those who had never taken one. However, taking the drug for three to six months raised the risk of Alzhei-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff mer’s by 32 percent. Taking it for more than six months boosted the risk by 84 percent.

The type of drug also mattered.

People who took a long-acting benzodiazepine were at greater risk than those on a short-acting one. (If you’re not sure whether the drug you take is long- or short-acting, ask your doctor.)

Though the two may be linked, it’s too early to say whether benzodiazepines cause Alzheimer’s. Studies like this one can’t separate cause and effect.

It could be that taking benzodiazepines for a long time actually increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. But it also could be that as Alzheimer’s disease is slowly developing, it causes people to become more anxious and to have more trouble sleeping. That, in turn, could lead people who are developing Alzheimer’s disease to start taking benzodiazepines.

So, taking benzodiazepines could lead to Alzheimer’s disease, or developing Alzheimer’s disease could lead people to start taking benzodiazepines. We just can’t be

sure.

Does that mean there’s no reason to worry about taking benzodiazepines for more than three months? I don’t think so. First of all, there are many studies that show memory problems linked to benzodiazepines. So, it isn’t implausible that medicines that may negatively affect memory could raise the risk of a disease in which memory is destroyed.

And there surely are other reasons for older people to avoid benzodiazepines. Two common side effects of benzodiazepines – confusion and clouded thinking – can lead to falls, fractures and auto accidents.

Finally, benzodiazepines can cause tolerance. Over time, you’ll need a greater amount of the drug to produce the same effect, and you are likely to experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking it.

Talk to your doctor about your anxiety and insomnia. He or she should be able to prescribe drugs that are safer and just as effective as the ones you’re currently taking.

Dr. Wallace: We have a new high school principal this school year. I don’t know what he is trying to prove, but he has made new “rules and regulations” that are making our student body very angry.

According to our “dictator” principal, students can no longer show affection on campus. Hugging and holding hands cause “guilty” students to receive a warning. Kissing will result in a one-day suspension for both students. These rules are enforced in the halls and anywhere else on campus.

This is poor administration! On some high school campuses, students are injuring and killing other students, and we are being punished for showing love and affection. My parents went to a school board meeting to see if the board of education would make the principal eliminate this insane rule but, of course, they backed the principal.

I understand that you were a high school principal and I bet that you wouldn’t have instilled this stupid “no love and affection” rule. Your comments will be eagerly read and shown to our principal. – Alissa, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Dear Alissa: I hope that you didn’t wager too much because you lost your bet! I’m all in favor of showing love and affection – just not on school grounds while hundreds of students are scurrying to get to their next class before the tardy bell rings. Besides hindering the flow of foot traffic, kissers and huggers often lose track of time and are late to class themselves.

There’s a time and place for everything, including kissing. To rule it inappropriate at school is not to be “anti-love.”

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace The opposite of, and perhaps the antidote to, the terrible wave of violence that has been sweeping through our schools in recent times is showing a greater sense of public-spiritedness and respect for all of one’s fellow students, not displaying private affection.

When I was a high school administrator in Orange County, California, kissing, hugging, etc., on campus were on the “no-no” list!

Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend drinks too much!

I’ve tried a thousand times to get him to slow down, but he doesn’t listen. Whenever he has “too much” when we go out, (I’m 19; he’s 21) he lets me drive his car. I drop him off at his apartment and then I drive to my house.

The next day I drive to his apartment and then he drives me home.

This is a pain in the neck. What kind of remedy can be used to make him sober up quickly? – Nameless Dear Nameless: No remedy can help a person sober up quickly. Time is the only cure. The body must metabolize alcohol to eliminate it from the system. This takes about an hour for every drink consumed. One ounce of hard liquor, 12 ounces of beer or five ounces of wine all equal one drink.

Your boyfriend appears to have a serious drinking problem. The time has arrived to decide if you want to continue being a cab driver for a highly inconsiderate and selfish guy.

TODAY – Put the details in place before you branch out on a new venture. Your ideas are valuable, but if you try to rush into something, you may lose time trying to pick up the pieces afterward. Organization and preliminary trials will help you accomplish the most this year.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t take on too much; stick to what you do best. Stay on track by keeping up on the latest trends in your field. Your dedicated efforts will lead to success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Be careful with whom you associate. Keep your financial and legal paperwork up to date so that you do not become overwhelmed at year’s end. Avoid dealing with authority figures.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Make the right choice by relying on the lessons you have learned from the past. You will capture everyone’s attention if you follow your heart and your instincts.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Curb your spending now, or you may have regrets next year. If you embellish the truth, it will cost you. Be honest about your feelings, and trust your judgment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Social media will have a positive impact on your plans. Highlight your talents and reach out to people who can utilize and promote what you have to offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You may be asking too much of someone if you depend on them to make you happy. Get out with old friends, who will help you see your personal situation with greater clarity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You are in for a nasty surprise if you take others for granted. Make sure that there is give-and-take in both your personal and professional relationships.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Past mistakes or heartaches will leave you depressed.

Live in the present and make your future bright. Focus on things and people you enjoy, and you won’t have time to look back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Someone you live with will be demanding. If your patience is wearing thin, find an outlet that will keep you busy. Take care of your personal paperwork.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – An interesting proposal is coming your way. Don’t sit idly by, waiting for your situation to change. Get out and help others, and you’ll take your mind off of your worries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Minor accidents are likely if you are distracted or reckless. Don’t hesitate to brag. Unless people realize your capabilities and what you have to offer, nothing will develop.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Falsecards can be very effective

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Aldous Huxley, an English novelist and critic who died in 1963, said, “An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.”

At the bridge table, declarer can happily lie – falsecard – because he can fool only the defenders.

However, when a defender falsecards, it might mislead his partner into making a mistake, because he misplaced a key card. But there are some situations in which a falsecard is mandatory or likely not to cost.

How does that apply in this deal? West leads his fourth-highest heart against three no-trump. What should happen after that?

In the auction, North’s two-club rebid was New Minor Forcing. It announced at least game-invitational values and asked opener to describe his hand further, giving top priority to showing three-card spade support.

South begins with six top tricks: four diamonds and two clubs. He has good chances to gain sufficient extra winners from the black suits, but first he must surmount the heart hurdle.

If East follows the textbook, he wins the first trick with his heart king, cashes the heart ace and plays a third round. Here, though, South wins with his queen and establishes two spade tricks for his contract.

Yes, East might lead a low heart at trick two; maybe declarer would misguess. But better would be to win the first trick with the ace, in principle denying the king, then to return a low heart. South would surely play his 10. And West, after winning with his jack, would have no reason to do anything other than to lead another heart, giving the defenders four hearts and one spade.
