Ally will be spending the next few months at the Chronicle as an intern through her school’s L.I.N.K. – or Learning through Internships Nurtures Knowledge – Program.

Although Ally, 17, hasn’t had much experience with journalistic writing so far, she has been dedicated to quite a few fiction writing endeavors.

She said she wrote her first book at age 13 and today is working on her fifth book.

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Gresey One of her biggest goals is to get published, she said.

After graduating from BHS, Ally plans to study biomedical engineering at Northwestern University.

The birds and their widely heard songs What a difference a couple of weeks can make.

When I last wrote about walking to work, my musings about nature were punctuated, early and often, by rude recalls back to the present. I slipped and slid, falling tail over tea kettle twice during the nearly four-mile adventure before finally arriving, soggy but safe, at Hickory Knolls.

This week, however, was a completely different story.

The higher temperatures – with sunshine, to boot – made staying upright the entire way a virtual certainty.

Even better, the glaciers that blocked my shortcuts had melted, cutting my journey by nearly three-fourths of a mile.

With all systems go, I was able to concentrate fully on the sights and sounds around me. Tulips and daffodils were poking their leaves up, crocuses were blooming and – as a heads up for anyone who is allergic to tree pollens – the silver maples were blooming.

High overhead, the rattling calls of sandhill cranes wafted down to my ears. It took me a minute, but I finally spotted the large group, flying in V formation, heading in a north-by-northwest direction.

Closer to the ground, other birds were making noise, too.

Spring migration has sprung, with birds we haven’t seen in months now returning to their summer breeding grounds. Wasting no time, these species are singing up a storm, each intent on declaring and defending a breeding territory.

As my walk takes me through the west side of St. Charles, I was first able to listen to the neighborhood birds around Davis School, then Kehoe, aka “Rocket,” Park, then up Howard Street, and finally the birds along Oak Street as I approached Randall. I tuned in to their banter as I walked, and began counting species. Although I can’t replicate their songs exactly,

Northern cardinals are one of only a few species of birds known to sing throughout the year. Males and females both sing, and they also communicate with sharp, metallic chip notes.

GOOD NATURED Pam Erickson Otto here’s how birders remember them mnemonically: American Robin: “Cheer up, cheerio, cheer up, cheerily” ... over and over again.

Northern Cardinal: “Whatcheer, what-cheer, whatcheer,” or “Cheer, cheer, cheer;” also “Birdy, birdy, birdy,” which some people interpret as “Purty, purty, purty.”

Black-capped Chickadee: “Fee-bee,” or, the more fun, “Hey, Sweetie.” Either way it’s a clear, two- or three-note whistle that is unmistakable, and quite different from the bird’s namesake “Chick-adee-dee-dee” warning call.

Mourning dove: “Hooo-ah, hoo-hoo-hoo.” Although their sound is definitely more of a coo than a hoot, these birds sometimes are mistaken for owls. The tip-off is when the songs occur. Doves are day shift, owls are night shift.

Song sparrow: These birds have so much to say, their mnemonic has three variations: “Maids-maids-maidsput-on-your-tea-kettle-ettle-ettle;” or “Hip; hip; hip hurrah boys; spring is here!” or “Madge; Madge; Madge pick beetles off; the water’s hot.”

Personally, I hear “Sweet,

Photo provided

sweet, sweet…blah blah blah yada yada.”

Blue jay: This sound was especially intriguing as I’m used to hearing blue jays in oak woodlands, not in my neighborhood of maples, locusts and lindens. When I saw where the bird was sitting – in a yard full of bird feeders – its presence made more sense.

Blue jays make a number of sounds in addition to their characteristic “Jay, jay” jeer; the call I heard is one I learned as the “rusty pump,” because its squeaky tones sound very much like the handle of a water pump in need of some oil. But this sound also is sometimes given the mnemonic, “Tweedle dee.”

The blue jay’s racket got me to thinking about the different reasons birds make sounds. The jay’s calls had little to do with declaring territory, but were instead a means of expressing alarm or

warning – as if I wanted anything to do with the peanuts he appeared to be guarding.

(Well, actually ...)

When birds sing, that is, make complex and musical sounds, they usually are doing so as a means of finding and communicating with a mate, and/or claiming and protecting a territory. Usually but not always, the task of singing falls to the male.

Calls, however, deliver other types of messages. Typically shorter and not as tuneful, they are used to express excitement, distress and/or aggression, to name just a few of their varied functions.

Some birds make contact calls just to “stay in touch.”

Thinking back to the northern cardinal, its song, the “Birdy, birdy, birdy,” and its variations typically are sung from the tops of trees or other prominent objects – just the sort of places you’d expect a bird declaring its territory to sing from.

But the softer “Chip” call is often emitted from more concealed locations, like the branch of a shrub.

If you, like me, have been tuning in to the sounds of spring, and would like to learn about what all these songs mean – and who is making them – you might want to mark your calendars for May 16. From 8 to 10 a.m. that day, members of Kane County Audubon will be leading a learning adventure called Birding By Ear. As the description for this free program notes, “On any given day in spring, you likely will hear more birds with your ears than you will be able to see with your eyes.”

After instruction on local species and the sounds they make, the group will take a walk around the Hickory Knolls Natural Area to practice their newfound skills.

Unless the weather takes a giant leap backward, the trails will be ice and snow free, and spring will be in full swing. We’ll be listening that day, but also watching. Hope to see YOU there!

COVER STORY

THE $28 MILLION QUESTION Bond purchase would pay for rec center, synthetic turf, open space

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Voters in the St. Charles Park District on April 7 will decide whether to increase their taxes to bring a recreation center and other projects to life. After several months of planning and discussion, the St. Charles Park Board on Jan. 13 voted unanimously to put a referendum on the ballot for the April 7 consolidated election. The ballot measure asks whether the district can borrow $28 million in bonds for a new recreation center, one or more turf fields and other developments.

A “yes” vote would mean that someone with a home valued at $300,000 in the park district would pay an average of $92.40 more a year for 20 years in taxes if the referendum is approved, said Jim Cooke, park board treasurer.

“We’re hoping people will see the benefits,” Cooke said.

The park district’s only indoor gym space is housed at the Pottawatomie Community Center for basketball, pickleball and more. The proposed recreation center would include a fitness center, multi-court gymnasium, indoor track, preschool and multipurpose space, according to the written proposition that will appear on the April ballot.

The center would be built on open space used as practice fields in James O. Breen Community Park, located at Campton Hills and Peck roads on the west side of St. Charles.

Building the recreation center would cost the district about $23 million, said Holly Cabel, the park district’s director of parks and recreation.

Officials continue to present various facts and figures from the referendum at public events throughout the district. Two informational open houses were held at the Pottawatomie center, and on Monday a meeting was held at Hickory Knolls Dis-

to the proposed recreation center site.

Michael Kolodziej, a South Elgin village trustee running for re-election, hopes people educate themselves about the park’s plan. He said he is undecided on the referendum but is leaning toward voting against it. Kolodziej lives in the Thornwood subdivision, which is within the far northwest side of park district boundaries. He said “$28 million seems a bit excessive.”

“Why can’t they look at options that don’t have impact on taxpayers?” Kolodziej asked.

Cabel echoed the park district’s referendum literature, which explains the projects were thoroughly discussed by the park board in public meetings before arriving and voting on the $28 million figure.

“Due to funding constraints placed on the park district by Illinois state statutes, the district does not have the capability of funding all projects without voter approval,” its written referendum summary states.

Even with the open meetings leading up to the vote, residents like Bill McGowan said he first heard about the district’s referendum-related projects in February.

McGowan wrote in an email he went to the Monday meeting with an open mind on the district officials’ referendum plans, but he wants them to go back to the drawing board.

Among the issues McGowan wrote about: the recreation

center site would be situated too far north on park property; the district’s decision to wait to conduct a traffic study until after the election; and the most requested amenity on the district’s community survey was not the recreation center but buying and preserving additional open space.

A $4.9 million portion of the $28 million referendum amount is to account for land acquisition and development, including the turf fields, Cabel said in an earlier interview.

The turf portion of the district’s proposition involves converting two already-lighted fields at the district’s East Side Sports Complex, at 3565 Legacy Blvd., St. Charles, to synthetic turf and also adding spectator seating and permanent bathrooms, Cabel said.

Resident Barbara Orlando is in support of the multiple amenities an approved referendum would bring to the district, and she intends to vote “yes” on April 7. She attended the Monday meeting at Hickory Knolls and lives near the proposed recreation center site.

Orlando, 83, said she is willing to bear the increase in taxes because the recreation center would appeal to a range of ages, from seniors like herself to children. Property taxes and traffic headaches are not things that can be avoided by moving – they’re everywhere, she said.

“Whatever way you decide, please go out to vote,” Orlando said. “It just makes me feel so sad that people don’t take advantage of the fact that you, as a citizen, can vote, and that’s important.”

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“I did it my way…”

You know that old Sinatra song, the one where Frank croons, “I did it my way?” Well, when it came time for me to think about the future I knew for certain I wanted to remain in the DeKalb community, in a place I know and love, Marguerite Key surrounded by good friends. I also knew that I didn’t want to rely on others to make my decisions and wanted to have the ability to choose not only where I live but how I live. I was so impressed when I visited Oak Crest and saw the many and varied options.

I was even more surprised to learn that I could customize my new apartment home to fit my lifestyle. When people stop by for a visit they always comment on the lovely surroundings, the wonderful staff and how my home really is a reflection of me. If you’re anything like me, when it comes to making those big life decisions you’ll want to do it your way too. Come for a visit and discover all that Oak Crest has to offer.

Nowak and other candidates said the district’s debt service presents challenges.

“I think the board has done a very good job of trying to utilize our reserves very carefully to help minimize impact to taxpayers,” Nowak said. “I think we have achieved some very good balance. We’ve done a good job of expanding our educational program while targeting use of reserves to help alleviate burden on taxpayers.”

No slate for trio in District 304 race

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Although Geneva District 304 candidates Tina Yagla and Ann Murtaugh said last month they were running on a slate with incumbent Michael McCormick, two of the candidates now say they are not – even though all their names appear together on some yard signs.

Murtaugh and McCormick said they are just sharing expenses of the large 4-by-4 yard signs. Yagla was out of town and did not respond to voice mail or email messages.

“We put our names on there together, so you can see them,” Murtaugh said. “We all have our independent yard signs.”

“I’m running as myself, not on a slate,” McCormick said.

The three are part of a field of seven seeking three fouryear seats in the April 7 consolidated election.

Murtaugh said they considered running as a slate after meeting with candidates running as a slate in the Batavia District 101 race.

“We all agree on the same issues with regard to the school board,” Murtaugh said.

Michael McCormick

Tina Yagla

Ann Murtaugh

Egan said she served as treasurer, vice president and president of the Mill Creek PTO before wanting to serve on the school board. She said she moved to Geneva because of the schools.

“Once our children started going to Geneva schools, I was immediately taken aback by how impressive our education system is and how much we have to offer, [and] I was passionate about being part of it,” Egan said.

To prepare for her candidacy, Egan said she met with current and past board members and administrators, toured all the schools and met with all the principals.

“There is so much going on with educational changes and finances,” Egan said.

“I am truly passionate about being part of that and making the best possible choices for Geneva.”

Evelyn Schneider, who

taught in another district before becoming a counselor there, said she wanted to give back to the community where she lives. Schneider said her family also moved to Geneva for the schools.

“Geneva was the best place,” Schneider said.

“That’s where I wanted to raise my kids.”

All candidates said they were concerned about the district’s finances, debt and property taxes.

“I need to make an informed decision,” Schneider said. “I moved to Geneva for the schools. If my taxes go up $10 this year, and I get to keep what Geneva does for kids, I’m wiling to do that as a taxpayer. As a board member, I would listen to all the people and come up with what is best for the district.”

GENEVA – Seven hopefuls will be vying for three seats on the Geneva School District 304 Board in the April 7 consolidated election.

Incumbents Mary Stith, Kelly Nowak and Michael McCormick and newcomers Tina Yagla, Ann Murtaugh,Taylor Egan and Evelyn Schneider are seeking the three fouryear terms.

Stith is seeking her fourth term.

“At the end of the day, I’m really invested in the schools,” Stith said. “I care about the kids and our community. I put a lot of time in, and I feel we made a lot of progress. And I’d like to continue to be part of it.”

Nowak, who is seeking her third term, said she really enjoys the school board and would like to continue.

“I think I am very suited to the job,” Nowak said. “I bring experience in banking. I have close ties to the community, and I think that allows me to bring a lot of varied perspectives to the table.”

Nowak said the board has worked well as a team with the district’s administrators in the last few years through educational policy changes and a challenging economy.

“I think we’ve had to address a lot of issues, and I

“It can’t all be about the debt,” Stith said. “It can’t all be about the taxpayers. It has to Evelyn be about proSchneider viding a good public education to our students at a cost the community can afford. You can’t have one without the other.”

Stith said the district has a AA bond rating and has reduced its debt by $17 million, which kept taxes from going up as much as they would without the action.

“I’m a taxpayer, and I care for beleaguered taxpayers.

And I’m a school board member,” Stith said. “The purpose of a school board is to provide a quality education. It’s balancing the two.”

Yagla and Murtaugh said they consider themselves taxpayer advocates – along with McCormick – and vowed to do more to control costs.

“I think it’s time for someone on the board to be an advocate for taxpayers,” said Yagla, an Air Force veteran and engineer. “I think Mike

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Mark Foster, who had previously applied to fill a vacancy on the Batavia City Council, has been appointed to the Batavia Historic Preservation Commission.

Batavia aldermen approved the appointment Monday. Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke had recommended Foster be appointed to the commission following the resignation of Cathy Searle.

The commission was created to help protect the city’s

historic areas and structures.

Kevin Botterman recently was sworn in to fill the vacancy on the Batavia City Council after the recent resignation of 5th Ward Alderman Steve Vasilion.

Aldermen had voted to appoint Botterman after interviewing him and Foster, the other candidate for the position.

Vasilion was elected to the City Council in 2013 after defeating Eldon Frydendall for the 5th Ward seat. Frydendall had been on the council for 32 years.

Botterman will fill the

League of Women Voters to host forum on Tuesday • D-304 CANDIDATES Continued from page 11 McCormick needs some help.”

Yagla cited McCormick for casting the lone “no” vote on two property tax levies.

“They increased the tax levy by 1.5 percent versus holding the levy steady and trying to cut costs by 1.5 percent,” Yagla said. “They could hold the line [on taxes] without negatively impacting anything. We do not need to increase taxes each and every year.”

“I am an advocate for the taxpayer,” Murtaugh said.

“Cutting costs is going to be stressful for different areas.”

McCormick, a lawyer and an accountant, said his thinking on fiscal matters in the school district was “in sync” with Yagla and Murtaugh as also being “fiscally minded.”

“I want educational excellence with fiscal responsibility. People know I have five kids in the district and am passionately devoted to education,” McCormick said.

“And if you look at my record, I have supported the teachers. I liked all-day kindergarten, [but] I voted against the last two tax levies because I think we are not out of the woods economically,” McCormick said. “I guess I was hoping we could hold the line on taxes to give taxpayers some relief.”

McCormick, who is seek-

ing his second term, said he wants to continue serving.

“My job is not over yet,” McCormick said. “Debt service is really going to hurt everyone who pays real estate taxes. I want to make sure that families get the greatest education and not have a cataclysmic impact on their real estate taxes.”

Schneider said she would be a good steward of the district’s assets.

“If we say we’re not voting for a tax increase, and my house goes down [in value] even more, who’s going to be moving into Geneva and who’s going to be having good schools?” Schneider said. “I can be a good steward, financially, but I want to make good policy for kids.”

Nowak said the debt service on the district’s bonds continues to be challenging.

“I think the board has done a very good job of trying to utilize our reserves very carefully to help minimize impact to taxpayers,” Nowak said. “And at the same time, we’ve been able to expand our [educational] program. I think we have achieved some very good balance. ... In terms of levy, we tried to make sure we were levying only what we need.”

seat until Vasilion’s term expires in May 2017. The person who is elected in the April 2017 election will serve a full four-year term.

Gornowich thought he spent about $100,000, police reported. When he was told the amount was more than $300,000, “he advised he didn’t think it was that much” but “he wasn’t surprised,” the report states.

Gornowich reportedly told police he spent all the money, but he might have about $25,000 worth of products at his residence.

Police reportedly released him from questioning pending charges and approval from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Authorities later searched his apartment in the 100 block of Walnut Drive in St. Charles and collected all of the items related to the crime, police reported, noting his roommate turned over items Gornowich had given him as gifts.

Monday, Gornowich turned himself in on a warrant carrying charges of theft and theft by deception, both Class 1 felonies, records show.

His bond was set at $100,000 with 10 percent to apply. He remained in custody at the Kane County jail midday Friday, according to online records.

He is expected in court at 9 a.m. April 1.

ST. CHARLES – A 31-yearold man is being held on $100,000 bond on accusations he stole more than $300,000 over several years from his St. Charles employer, according to police and court records.

A d a m R . Adam R. Gornowich’s Gornowich employer reportedly contacted the St. Charles Police Department on Dec. 9 after learning an employee had been bragging about stealing money from the company.

Upon further investigation, the employer found Gornowich had stolen as recently as that day, and the theft be-

gan in June 2011, according to a St. Charles police report.

Gornowich used a company credit card to open an Amazon account and amassed about $350,000 in purchases on items, such as Amazon gift cards, TVs, computers and gaming systems, according to the report.

When police questioned Gornowich in December, he reportedly explained he had access to the credit card because he was responsible for purchases at the company.

He created the Amazon account because he had “fallen on hard times financially,” the report states. It indicated he would sell the merchandise for cash on Craigslist and would use the gift cards to buy items from Amazon.

After several months, he found it would be easy to continue using the account, so he did, police reported.

ST. CHARLES – A leader in travel publications has named Scarecrow Fest as one of America’s 15 best smalltown festivals.

Fodor’s Travel included the annual St. Charles event in a list that also includes the Elkhart Jazz Festival in Elkhart, Indiana; the Lilac Festival in Mackinac Island, Michigan; Burlington Steamboat Days in Burlington, Iowa; and the Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, Colorado.

It was the only Illinois event to receive the recognition.

Amy Egolf, executive director of the Greater St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau, said in a statement she was thrilled about the honor.

“Having our beloved fest recognized by Fodor’s – the world’s leader in travel publications – is simply thrilling and reminiscent of when Scarecrow Fest was featured on the Today Show in 2011 as one of the nation’s top five fall festivals,” she stated. “What a terrific compliment to add to the celebration of Scarecrow’s 30th year!”

According to a news release from the Greater St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau, this was Fodor’s first year featuring the country’s best small-town festivals.

Winners were chosen based on several factors, including unique festival theme or concept; size and reach of the festival; sense of festival traditions or history; geographic diversity; and smalltown population, the release states.

Scarecrow Fest is produced by the Greater St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau in conjunction with Ravenswood Event Services. It features scarecrow displays, a carnival, an arts and crafts show and live entertainment,

among other activities.

About 120,000 people from 131 Illinois communities and 22 states attended the threeday event in 2014, according to the visitors bureau.

The 30th annual Scarecrow Fest is set for the weekend of Oct. 9.

BATAVIA – Batavia police continue to investigate a burglary that occurred early Monday at the Dunkin’ Donuts store at 2002 W. Wilson St., Batavia.

At 1:28 a.m. Monday, Batavia police discovered a forcible burglary had occurred at the store, according to a news release from the Batavia Police Department.

Responding officers searched the store and determined the offender had left the scene.

Video surveillance of the incident showed the offender approached the store on foot and attempted to pry open the drive-thru window with a pry tool, according to the release.

The attempt was unsuccessful, and the offender proceeded to break an eastside window.

The offender entered the store though that window, and once inside, walked behind the counter to the manager’s

office, the release stated. The offender then pried open a door to the manager’s office While inside the office, the offender examined the safe but did not attempt to open it, according to the release.

A few seconds later, the offender exited the office and immediately exited the store through a rear door.

After speaking with Dunkin’ Donuts employees, police said it appeared the offender did not take anything from the store.

The Batavia Police Department Investigations Unit is working with other local police departments that have experienced similar incidents recently in their jurisdictions.

After examining the surveillance video, the offender appears to be a white or Hispanic male, police said.

Those with information regarding the case are urged to call the Batavia Police Department Investigations Unit at 630-879-2840, and ask for detective Michelle Langston.

OUR VIEW

Project associated with park referendum more a want than need It is easy to see why many residents are excited about the St. Charles Park District’s proposed referendum.

The referendum question – to be decided at the polls April 7 – asks voters whether they approve of the St. Charles Park District issuing $28 million in bonds for a new recreation center at James O. Breen Community Park; acquiring land; and improving athletic fields, including the construction of at least one – and possibly two – lighted, multipurpose turf fields at the East Side Sports Complex. The bonds would mature over a 20-year period.

While many fitness-minded members of the commu-

nity are understandably enthused about the proposal, a project of this scale is more of a want than a need. Considering the major cut-backs to various state taxing bodies on the table under Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, the uncertain economic climate going forward requires too great a leap of faith to have peace of mind that a “yes” vote is in the best interest of taxpeyers.

The referendum’s average cost to the owner of a $200,000 home would be $59.61 annually, while the cost would be $92.40 annually for the owner of a $300,000 home, according to data supplied by the park district. The park district pledges to pursue

“all available local, state and federal land acquisition and development grants” to assist with the funding.

While most of our concerns are budgetary, there are others. Some west side residents near the proposed recreation center site are bothered that a study of how to accommodate increased traffic in the area would not be completed until after the referendum passes. The Peck Road corridor already can be highly congested at times when youth sporting events are in full swing.

We undertstand the proposal’s appeal. Renderings of the recreation center are impressive. The facility would include space for basketball,

volleyball and pickleball tournaments, which could generate revenue. The facility also would feature an indoor track that would provide year-round exercise opportunities for residents of all ages.

In addition, the recreation center would include preschool space and offer enhanced facility options closer to home for local participants in the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association, who sometimes have to travel to Aurora or elsewhere for programming.

Adding lighted fields at the East Side Sports Complex, which could help accomodate growing demand for sports, such as lacrosse,

also would be well received by many.

Plans for the referendum are following up on survey results detailing a wish list for many constituents. There is no doubt the plan includes many desirable amenities.

Voters who can afford to help subsidize the project – especially those willing to pay membership fees once it is completed – deserve their chance to vote in favor, but the uncertain fiscal climate going forward makes the project better suited for a less volatile time.

In the meantime, private facilities that offer some of these fitness opportunities to residents might need to suffice.

OUR VIEW

D-129 residents should take time to vote April 7 Voters who live in West Aurora School District 129 are being asked to consider a referendum question April 7.

The question asks whether District 129 can borrow $84.2 million in bonds to pay for building projects throughout the district, including to North Aurora schools.

Proposed projects related to the referendum include the installation of geothermal heating-and-cooling systems in nine buildings; the installation of air conditioning in one building; classroom additions at multiple schools; the construction of a fieldhouse at West Aurora High School; the construction of an early childhood center/administration building; and building a new Hill Elementary School.

Although the dollar amount associated with the referendum is high, the district is seeking $25 million worth of qualified school construction bonds from the state, which officials said could save the district $21 million over the life of the bonds.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

It should be noted, however, that receiving such bonds – which provide no-interest financing – is not guaranteed.

Meanwhile, the district has reported that between $250,000 and $350,000 in utility costs could be saved annually if the geothermal heating-and-cooling systems are installed at the nine schools.

In addition, the total amount of money being sought via the referendum is less than $90 million, which officials said will keep the district’s annual debt payment at the current level of $14 million.

District 129 residents need to get informed about the referendum and can do so – in part – by visiting www. sd129.org and clicking on the “2015 Referendum” link on the home page.

Voters will decide whether the referendum passes. Those who want to have a say about the future of the school district, their community and their pocketbooks should participate in the election process April 7.

SOUND OFF Scaring off the coyotes

We just moved from the city, and the city is the suburbs. But we consider this the country and realize we see chipmunks and now we see foxes. We are afraid to let our children play in the yard because there are no fences, and the city doesn’t do anything. Why not? Does he have to wait until children get bitten? Or a dog gets chewed?

Enough is enough I’m asking for help from all taxpaying citizens, St. Charles and surrounding communities, to defeat all the referendums that are going to be on the ballot [during the] April 7 election. Our taxes are out of sight now, and they want more. The well is dry.

No more. There is big difference of what we want and what we can’t afford. Please join me in voting no. Enough is enough.

They can do things when you answer the phone to take over your phone. So, the best thing to do is to tell everybody who calls you that if you call, leave a message. If it’s somebody I know, I will call you back. But, you know, these other calls, don’t answer them. Get caller ID and take charge of your life. Don’t give out information.

I’m calling about the coyote problem that we seem to be having in the Tri-Cities.

But, I went and I bought a – they call it a party horn, one of those things that you blow at basketball games.

And I’ve been using that, and one blast from that and they’re gone. We have two pet dogs, and they are never ever left outside unattended. I am out there with them, or my husband, and we both have that party blow horn in hand. Yes, it’s loud, and it’s meant to be, but it does the trick. The thing is that you know we’re forcing these animals, not just the coyotes, out of their own habitat, and they need somewhere to go. And also, for all the animal parents, use your common sense. Don’t leave your animal outside unattended. You’re just flirting with heartache. You can get those horns at Wal-Mart and probably at Party City, but they do the trick for us, and I guess that they’re loud, but they are meant to be loud, and those coyotes take off.

Whether you are a novice or experienced athlete, we all are looking to improve in one way or another.

That improvement might be to lose weight, to place in your age group in a local or national race, or simply to improve your fitness. Setting goals will give you motivation and boosts self-confidence. Having those goals, adjusting, and learning how to set them can help you achieve them. Ryan Giuliano started from not knowing how to swim in college to becoming the top ranked amateur Ironman athlete in the world in 2015.

IHSA Class 4A state finals

IHSA CLASS 4A STATE SEMIFINAL: NORMAL 38, GENEVA 36

VIKINGS NIPPED Late put-back ends Geneva’s push for title

By JAY SCHWAB

Normal 38, Geneva 36 QUARTER SCORES 1 2 3 4 – Tot Normal 14 5 9 10 – 38 Geneva 6 12 5 13 – 36

jschwab@shawmedia.com PEORIA – It was a night of paradoxes for the Geneva boys basketball team.

In a game when the Vikings handled the ball much better than usual, key turnovers burned them.

And in a season in which Geneva has gobbled up rebounds at a striking rate, allowing Normal a decisive offensive rebound cost the Vikings a chance to play for the state championship.

Alex Peacock’s put-back basket put Normal ahead, 38-36, with 2.8 seconds to go Friday, and that was the final score in the IHSA Class 4A state semifinal after Pace Temple’s last-second, desperation baseline jumper didn’t fall.

Geneva coach Phil Ralston said he’ll second-guess himself for not reverting to a triangle-and-two defense that largely was successful, but the Vikings still forced guard Tyler Vance into a challenged drive that led to Peacock’s winning bucket.

“They had to make a great play at the end; throwing it off the window and having Peacock finish like that was a heck of a play,” Ralston said.

Geneva (30-4) will meet Bolingbrook at 6:30 p.m. today at the Peoria Civic Center for third place; the Vikings upset the Raiders last season in regionals.

After a timeout, Geneva had it with 2.8 seconds left, and the Vikings called another after advancing it past half court with 1.1 on the clock. Temple’s pressured jumper along the right baseline was not close, and the Ironmen (33-1) celebrated their berth in tonight’s state championship game against Stevenson.

“You can look back and think I could have done this, I could have done that, but you really have to give the credit to their defense,” Temple said. “They obviously did a great job of [shutting us down].”

Neither team could sustain offensive proficiency as both tall and active defenses carried play.

“Everyone got to see what a 1955 basketball game looked like tonight – 38-36 with bodies flying,” Normal coach Dave Witzig said.

Still, as has been the case throughout Geneva’s postseason push, there was a surplus of tension and drama.

A Navigato 3-pointer at the 3:50 mark of the fourth quarter put Geneva up 32-29.

Geneva’s Mike Landi goes up for a rebound against Normal Community’s Tyler Seibring during first-half action in the IHSA Class 4A state semifinal game at Carver Arena in Peoria.

Temple’s free throws trimmed Normal’s lead to 35-34 with 34 seconds to play. For the game, Geneva committed only 11 turnovers, but a couple during their late scoring drought were costly.

Navigato, the only Viking in double figures, scored a game-high 19 points, and extended his postseason pattern of delivering admirably in the clutch. His driving basket tied the game at 36 with 12 seconds to go.

“They made sure when Nate caught it he wasn’t in great position to score. …

Nate scored despite that,” Ralston said.

“He elevated his game. That floater that he had running into the middle, that was Nate creating a shot.”

What the first half lacked in offensive output it made up for with momentum shifts. A 12-0 Normal run put the Ironmen ahead, 14-6, after the first quarter, but Geneva used a pair of 6-0 bursts – including one to close the half – to creep within 19-18 of the Ironmen at halftime.

Late-game drama finally breaks bad for Geneva QUICK READ Kevin Druley Elon-bound Ironmen senior center Tyler Seibring may have attempted even fewer than two field goals against the Vikings, who often defended him with a box-and-one.

“They really wanted to restrict my movement there,” said the 6-7, 225-pound Seibring, “but I think what’s great about our team is we have so many weapons and had other guys step up.”

As central Illinois awaits today’s announcement regarding Peoria’s future as state tournament host – Champaign and Hoffman Estates also are bidding for the games – Geneva descended on the city’s downtown with little worry about the venue.

A program that hadn’t played in the state tournament in 52 seasons might just have showed up anywhere.

After the teams combined for 74 points and treated almost every possession with precious care, Normal coach Dave Witzig joked that fans were treated to basketball a la 1955.

PEORIA – Geneva boys basketball coach Phil Ralston emphasized a handful of statistics after Friday’s Class 4A state semifinal against Normal that seemingly worked in the Vikings’ favor.

Geneva limited the Ironmen to 38 points and committed a mere 11 turnovers, yet still took the postgame interview dais last as the losing team.

The Ironmen, who had vacated the space moments before, ultimately deprived the Vikings of one more dose of March drama gone good, winning, 38-36.

“They came out and they made everything for us difficult,” Ralston said.

For the past three weeks, Geneva’s opponents typically sounded a similar refrain as the Vikings extended a banner postseason run.

Actually, foes paid homage once more in the depths of the Peoria Civic Center. Normal, winners of 18 straight games, exhaled and admitted it earned every inch against Geneva.

“We knew they were going to be a different beast having a bigger lineup,” Ironmen senior forward Alex Peacock said.

That comparison means something coming from Peacock, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighs 225 pounds.

Contrasted against the Vikings’ front line, however, what’s a guy supposed to say?

Geneva’s shortest starter is 6-foot-2. At one point, Ralston populated the floor with Loudon Vollbrecht (6-8, 300); Nate Navigato (6-7, 215); Bennett Fuzak (6-7, 215); Chandler Fuzak (6-10, 210) and Mike Landi (6-8, 200).

Batavia’s Peyton Piron (center) competes in the 55-meter high hurdles preliminaries during the Upstate Eight Conference boys track and field indoor meet Friday at Batavia.

UPSTATE EIGHT BOYS TRACK AND FIELD INDOOR MEET

Batavia falls short of Upstate Eight title

By NICK AMATANGELO editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Usually, the Upstate Eight Conference Indoor boys track and field indoor meet comes down to the 4x400 meter relay at the end of the day to decide who walks away with the title.

This year, however, Neuqua Valley locked up the top spot earlier in the day, finishing with a combined score of 130 points.

Batavia came in second with 84 points after a strong meet that saw numerous school records fall throughout the course of the day.

The 400-meter dash, especially, saw three runners break the track record, in-

cluding Batavia senior Peyton Piron, who finished in third with a time of 50.14. For Piron, breaking the record had special significance to his family – his dad, Dennis Piron, is not only the coach but once held the 400 record. His record was broken by Bai Kabba, who is a close friend of the Piron family. “[Kabba] kept telling me I was never going to get it, he kept making fun of me,” Peyton Piron joked, “I hadn’t come close, but it’s a competition this race, and I ended up beating him.”

Batavia also had strong performances from senior Ryan Wieties, who finished first in the 1,600 with a time of 4:27:54, and the high jump

team of sophomores Jay Hunt and Peter Rudelich, who finished first and second, respectively.

Senior Howard Morgano added a first place in the triple jump.

Geneva finished third overall with 58.5 points thanks, in part, to junior Justin Taormina, who finished second in the long jump at 21-feet, 9-inches.

The Vikings were helped by a strong showing in the 4x800, where they placed second with a time of 8:30:30.

Taormina also aided his team in the 55-meter dash, placing second with a time of 6.69 seconds.

While Taormina was happy for his team’s solid day, he’s more focused on the road

ahead as the teams move outside in the coming weeks.

“I feel like we competed very well for an indoor conference meet,” Taormina said, “I know it’s only going to make us stronger and carry on through the outdoor season.”

St. Charles East senior Kyle Decker also is looking forward to heading outside and improving as a team.

“I know we can do better,” Decker said. “Individually we could have placed in some more events that we’d like to.”

East finished with 44 points, which was good for fourth. They were led by Decker and the 4x400 relay team, which finished second with a time of 3:38:19.

Decker also finished third

in the 55 hurdles with a time of 7.94 seconds. East also saw a top-three performance in the 4x800 (8:34:55). JB Sandlund finished second in the 800-meter with a time of 2:02:00.

St. Charles North finished with 23 points, which placed them ninth in the 16-team conference. The North Stars’ only top-three finish was from junior Josh Pelock, who finished the pole vault in third at 14-9.

While most teams are already thinking of the outdoor season, there’s one thing Peyton Piron is thinking about now: Who will break his new school record?

“It would be pretty cool if one day, my son broke that record,” Peyton Piron said.

GENEVA’S ELIZA PETERS doing this three years after it started?

No, I just assumed it would be a one-year thing, cool to do, but probably never do it again.

But after it was so successful I was like like ‘Hey, let’s do this thing again.’

Do you have any specific goals for this year?

I’d like to top $20,000. We’re almost halfway there, so hopefully we’ll get there with a lot of these things we’ve got going on.

Have you gotten much feedback from families who have received hearing aids so far?

Yeah, we have, actually, which has been really nice to be able to meet the people and talk to them about how

My parents have met a little girl in Chicago but I wasn’t there, and then I met Ian Hanson, and I’ve known Cayman Vieau for a long time, and it’s been nice to see how their lives have changed since they’ve gotten the updated technology. …

There’s a little girl in Chicago, her name is Lynette, and when she got her hearing aid she said she started crying because she could hear her mom talking for the first time.

You guys have been able to help some families that you know

in Geneva – has that been especially gratifying?

Yeah, definitely … some of the families, we’re not necessarily close with or know. It’s been nice because they’ve been able to get the word out even more and help further.

What can these hearing devices that are more modern accomplish that some of the more outdated ones can’t?

They will sync right with your phone if you have a phone that’s Bluetooth. They can sync with a laptop or another piece of technology [so I don’t have

What’s it been like having Sarah Spain involved with you guys?

I think it’s helped a ton actually because she’s getting pretty famous. She’s been on some ESPN shows in Bristol and different things and she’s on the radio every morning almost, so I think that also helps. Everyone knows about it if she talks about it … people think about it and go online and donate.

In a big picture sense, how much satisfaction comes with this project?

A lot. I feel like it’s made me a lot better person.

Rewarding run from start to finish When your first fall season on the job features a football state semifinal rumble between Batavia and Geneva and your final hours are spent soaking up the state boys basketball finals in Peoria, you realize you stumbled into a special job.

A new career opportunity outside of newspapers means today is my Kane County Chronicle swan song, but walking away stings. Covering sports in the Tri-Cities/ Kaneland area spoiled me from start to finish.

Turns out that Batavia-Geneva football state semi in 2006 was an appropriate tone-setter for the adrenaline-churning years to follow.

The are-you-serious moments are too plentiful to recount here, but I’ll toss out a few that command at least one more spin in print: Olivia Lorenzini’s two-out, two-strike, two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning of a 4A softball state

semifinal to lift St. Charles East to victory over Barrington. The Batavia football team mashing the rest of the 6A field in 2013, including a state championship rout of Richards. The Geneva boys basketball team’s remarkable run to Peoria ensured a climactic final month, highlighted by consecutive spellbinding wins against Rockford Auburn and Lake Park.

There, something from Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles. Happy, people?

Actually, for every cranky (but sometimes justified) kick in the butt from a reader, there were many more heartwarming, fascinating or just breezy chats with readers, athletes and coaches.

Thrilling as the games can be, working at a community newspaper is mostly about building relationships – the best part of the job.

Often, that overlaps with watching history unfold

DeKALB – When Northern Illinois receiver Kenny Golladay went through spring football practices last season, he knew what was waiting for him when fall came around – a year of sitting out the games.

However, the transfer from North Dakota is now practicing in the spring with the chance to become a major playmaker for the Huskies as they look to defend their Mid-American Conference title in 2015.

“I definitely had to be mentally tough,” Golladay said.

“I used that time to just get into the playbook. If I sit out a whole year, I have to come back and know the plays.”

Golladay came to Northern Illinois in spring 2014 and participated in practice – receiving quality reps with the Huskies. So far this spring, Huskies quarterback Drew Hare has liked what he’s seen in the 6-foot-4, 200-pound junior receiver.

“The guy’s a monster,” Hare said. “He works hard.

He’s a big target, quick, fast, great hands, runs great routes.

Everything you want in a receiver.”

“He’s coming along,” receivers coach Thad Ward said.

“Every day he’s getting better and better. He has the skills but he has to learn the fundamentals and technique and put it all together. Skillwise, he has the ability to do it all.

“He’s still learning. We’re installing a lot with these guys right now – new plays, new plays. He’s still learning, reading the coverage, so he’s getting adjusted to it.”

A graduate of St. Rita High School in Chicago, Golladay spent two seasons with North Dakota, finishing with 99 receptions for 1,313 yards for the Big Sky program. During his sophomore year, he led the team with 69 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns and was named honorable mention all-Big Sky. He also set a school record with 16 catches to go along with four touchdowns against Northern

Arizona.

Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey said it was difficult for Golladay to sit out a season last year. It was a mixed bag but there were moments where Carey could see the practices became the games for the transfer.

“He did that at times, but it’s easy to get lost and float mentally and I think he did that, too,” Carey said. “It was a hard year for him. He was an all-conference guy and was used to playing a lot, so I think it was hard on him.”

For Ward, it wasn’t easy to see a player as talented as Golladay being restricted to the sideline on game day.

“It’s hard, but there’s nothing you can do about it,” Ward laughed. “But it’s been fun helping him develop.”

Ward said Golladay could become a multifaceted threat for the Huskies – with the ability to run over the top of coverage along with running underneath routes. While the Huskies graduated their two receivers with the most receptions from last season – Da’Ron Brown (68 catches, 1,065 yards, six touchdowns) and Aregeros Turner (37 catches, 298 yards, two touchdowns) – they have plenty of threats on the outside coming into 2015.

The now-eligible Golladay joins Tommylee Lewis (86 catches, 715 yards in 2013), who returns after a medical redshirt because of a toe injury forced him to miss all but two games last season. The Huskies also return Juwan Brescacin (31 catches, 445 yards, six touchdowns) and Chad Beebe (21 catches, 219 yards).

“There’s definitely big expectations and I’m going to do my best to fulfill those expectations,” Golladay said.

Little did Preston Zollers know that when he introduced himself to 65,000 people at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on March 13 as “I’m Preston Zollers from Batavia, Illinois,” that he would win first place at the KTM Jr. Supercross Challenge.

The KTM Jr. Supercross Challenge is an event in its 16th year that showcases the talents of more than 2,900 kids in stadium racing venues worldwide to race on the same tracks as Supercross pros.

Zollers was one of 15 kids in the range of 7- to 8-yearsold selected to participate in the Indianapolis KTM Jr. Challenge. Upon arriving at the stadium, Preston was treated like a professional rider.

He was given a bike to ride and new riding gear, he signed autographs, and rode on the same track as his favorite pro riders.

Preston had the fastest lap times in both practices.

During his main event, Preston was leading the pack.

Preston led the first and second lap until he got stuck on a deep groove made by the pro riders. These grooves are at least 12 inches deep.

After Preston got back on his bike, he pushed as hard as he could in the final lap, determined to catch the rider who passed him when he was down.

While the entire stadium was on the edge of their seat, Preston came up on the last turn, neck-and-neck with the leader, and, at the last second, Preston passed the lead-

WEEKEND LIFE Wading through the wonders, what ifs of life I got the best hug, the other day. From a fellow mom.

Sunday evening I pulled my car up to the curb at a local church and hopped out to help my friend Jim into the front seat, while our other friend, Sarah, folded up his walker and stowed it in my trunk.

But I paused on my way around the car when I ran into another friend, a soccer mom I hadn’t seen in months.

The days when our boys played together have passed, so gone, too, are the flurry of carpool texts, hikes across those massive soccer fields, where we set up camp at their games and tournaments, and our sideline chats – those rare moments when we actually got to connect and share about something besides soccer.

When Margaret stepped off the curb and gave me a hug, a real one (not one of those quick, don’t-smudge-my-gloss hugs), I was reminded of how much we moms matter to each other.

Our lives, for the most part, are really good. Many of our

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose trials qualify as “first-world” challenges. You know, ours pale in comparison to those of other mothers, who wonder where their babies’ next meals will come from.

Still, though, we have our own crosses to bear.

And sometimes we get tired.

Because “first-world” or not, our great blessings come with their own challenges, with decisions that must be made and loose ends that must be pondered and wrangled, particularly where our kids are concerned.

We qualify, as many Americans are blessed to do, as the worried well. We suffer the wonders. For example: “Did I make the right choice? Should I have said more (to my son, about thus-and-such)? And just what about my daughter’s

Loretta Lynn to take Arcada Theatre stage

growing up – that’s happening right NOW, will she someday feel compelled to unload on a therapist’s couch?”

It’s any wonder I fall asleep at all, most nights. For real.

So, that hug? Maybe I read too much into it, but it felt like a hug of recognition, a sort of “I see you, I really see you” moment.

The caption above our heads might have read: “I know! And did you – oh good for you – you look so pretty! – hang in there, you care-worn lady, you – etc.”

We didn’t have time for such talk, though, as people spilled out of the church around us, including her family, who probably all were eager to get on with things.

And besides, I had my friends to ferry. So no words. There was just that one hug, over in an instant, and it was enough.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: My birthday was last week and my boyfriend gave me $100 cash to spend on myself.

I ended up spending the money on groceries for the both of us and on gas.

If my boyfriend asks what I used his gift for, should I tell him it was for groceries for us? – Savannah In Georgia Dear Savannah: If he asks, tell him the truth. The money was spent on things you needed – groceries for the both of you and gas.

And if he finds fault with that remind him that once a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient.

Dear Abby: I am an 11-year-old girl in middle school. There are two boys I like. One of them is someone I’ve known for two years and is a really good friend. The other boy I don’t know anything about. I like him because he’s cute.

I don’t know which to pick.

Please help! – Interested In Oregon Dear Interested: At 11, you don’t

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips have to pick either one. Enjoy both for what they have to offer and, in time, you won’t have to ask anyone else to decide for you.

In fact, you may even find a third someone who offers the same qualities you like in both of these boys.

Dear Abby: I have been in a relationship for five years with my boyfriend, “Clay.” We live in separate houses. I have three children, ages 18, 17 and 12. My 18-year-old is away at college.

Clay never comes to my house.

Every weekend, and sometimes during the week, I must pack my bags and those of my kids to go to Clay’s. This is hard for us. I have discussed it with him, but his answer is he’s “set in his ways.”

He expects me to drop every-

thing at a moment’s notice to host parties for him or meet him for dinner with his co-workers. I have explained that a single mother cannot do this all the time.

I am tired and frustrated. I have stayed with Clay this long thinking that one day he’ll want more from this relationship. Am I wasting my time? Should I move on? – Miserable In Mississippi Dear Miserable: Why should Clay want more from a relationship that’s working just fine for him? He has all the perks and none of the responsibilities that come with marriage. When he snaps his fingers, you run. It’s time to lay your cards on the table and tell Clay what YOU want and what YOU need from this relationship, and if he isn’t prepared to give it to you, make other plans.

Good bacteria now delivered to gut in surprising new form Dear Doctor K: I overheard a colleague talking about “poop pills” used to treat diarrhea. That can’t be right. Can it?

Dear Reader: Yes, “poop” means what you think it means. Same thing as “doo-doo.” It’s gross, but it’s true. So-called “poop pills” are being used to treat diarrhea caused by bacteria called Clostridium difficile, or “C. diff.” Let me explain.

Our intestines are filled with many different kinds of bacteria.

Most live happily there; they don’t invade or attack the intestine that is their home. C. diff bacteria live in our guts, but in low numbers – low because other bacteria in the intestine out-compete them for nutrients.

So far, so good. The problem starts with antibiotic treatment.

Every antibiotic is good at killing some types of bacteria, while having no effect on other types.

A doctor chooses a particular antibiotic based on the type of bacterial infection that is being treated.

Many people are hospitalized for infections, such as pneumonia or urinary tract infections. Most of the antibiotics used to kill these infections also kill bacteria in the gut that compete with C. diff.

However, they often don’t kill C.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff diff. This leaves a void that allows C. diff to multiply. Once it takes hold in the gut, C. diff creates toxins that cause diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain and inflammation that can be life-threatening.

Treatment of C. diff begins by stopping the antibiotic that triggered it in the first place. If that doesn’t work, the doctor prescribes one of a handful of antibiotics that specifically kill C. diff. But C. diff is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.

Ever since the discovery of penicillin, the obvious treatment for bacterial infections has been antibiotics. But as the problem of antibiotic resistance has grown, doctors have been experimenting with another approach. They are filling the gut with the bacteria that are C. diff’s normal competitors. They’re treating bad bacteria with large numbers of good bacteria.

The good bacteria are abundant in feces. Transplants of fecal material (poop) from a healthy donor are placed into the intestine of the person who is ill.

As originally used, fecal transplants have been, frankly, rather unpleasant. Fresh stool from a healthy donor has been thinned, and then either pumped into a tube threaded through a patient’s nose and into their intestine, or given in the form of an enema (a liquid injected into the rectum).

Now there’s an easier way to deliver the dose: poop pills.

Researchers at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital have used capsules containing frozen fecal extracts from healthy people to successfully treat diarrhea caused by C. diff.

Disgusting as it sounds, the donor feces are processed so only bacteria remains in the pill. The pill that is swallowed is clean and odorless. It is, essentially, a probiotic pill. And its protective gel cover does not dissolve until it is deep in the digestive tract.

Hopefully, the clean and odorless poop pill will prove as effective as the original ways of delivering good bacteria into the gut. They weren’t pretty, but they worked.

Speeding burns extra gas Dr. Wallace: I’m always thrilled when the price of gasoline goes down a bit, but I still do a lot of driving and I’m always low on cash.

I know that speeding burns extra gas, so I keep my speed at or below the limit. You would be helping a lot of teens like me if you would give us other gas-saving measures. As my very wise grandmother always says, “a penny saved is a penny earned!” – Brenda, Peoria Dear Brenda: Your grandmother is a very intelligent lady!

According to the Shell Oil Company, drivers can save about 10 percent of their fuel expense if they adopt the following driving habits: 1. Anticipate stops, turns, stoplights, yields and hills.

2. Conserve momentum by avoiding unnecessary braking, turning and accelerating.

3. Decelerate through natural resistance of the engine, road, tires and wind.

4. Economize in motion. Start smoothly but briskly and get to a cruising speed quickly.

Keep a steady foot on the accelerator.

5. Maintain proper tire pressure; reduce idle speed; set timing and carburetor properly.

6. Obey all speed laws – and then enjoy the extra money you’ve saved!

Dr. Wallace: The time has come when my boyfriend and I have decided to become sexually active. I think this is a good decision. I’m taking birth control pills, so the chances are good that I won’t get pregnant. But to ensure that I won’t get pregnant, I want my boyfriend to use a condom. My boyfriend doesn’t want to because

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace he thinks that the pill is 97 percent effective, and he will gamble with these odds.

I want to be 100 percent safe from pregnancy, and condom use will provide that. I’ll even pay for the condoms.

Your advice will be appreciated, regardless of your response.

– Nameless, Elkhart, Indiana Dear Nameless: Since you are planning a sexual relationship with your boyfriend, insist that he use a latex condom regardless of the type of birth control you use. Condoms are added protection against pregnancy and provide protection from a sexually transmitted infection. But be aware that pregnancy can take place even though you are on the pill and your boyfriend uses a latex condom. You will be 100 percent safe from an unwanted pregnancy only if you practice abstinence.

I’m disturbed that you and your boyfriend feel that the time has come to become sexually active. More times than not, teens who become sexually active break up soon after their first sexual encounter for a myriad of reasons.

The time will come to have sex without guilt and other hang-ups when you get married.

Christmas competition – the best entries

CELEBRITY CIPHER

There was a larger entry than usual for my Christmas Competition. Interestingly, the majority erred slightly in the declarer-play problem. They correctly went for either a 3-2 club split or the diamond finesse, but omitted to cash the club ace first, which gains when either opponent has a singleton king. That is unlikely, but it cannot cost to try.

A few people played for a squeeze, most stating that they thought they would be able to read the end-position. The main snag is that when there is no squeeze, they are down to the diamond finesse.

The best entry came from Bruce Perry of Riverview, New Brunswick. Congratulations.

Others who got the first question right are listed on my website: phillipalderbridge.com.

Now let’s look at today’s deal.

How should East plan the defense against four spades after West leads the heart king?

With ace-doubleton, East must overtake his partner’s king with the ace. (Note that if East does not win the first trick, the contract becomes unbeatable.) Then, East’s best play is to cash the diamond ace before returning his second heart. Here, the defenders will take one diamond and three hearts to defeat the contract.

If East immediately leads back his second heart, what should he do at trick three when West cashes his heart queen?

East could discard the diamond jack, screaming for a diamond shift (which is a far better play than pitching a discouraging club three). But much more fun is to trump his partner’s trick and to cash the diamond ace.
