Children get ready for the start of the Easter egg hunt Saturday at the Elburn Lions Club.

Thrill of the hunt: Kids collect Easter treats

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com A full morning of Easter egg hunting complete, the Iwanski family cracked open plastic eggs, revealing the treats inside. With four children, ages 2 to nearly 8, the Iwanskis took part in several of the age divisions at Lions Park in Elburn.

The annual event, run by the Elburn Lions Club, attracts hundreds to the park for the hunts and a breakfast.

Amy Iwanski said it’s a tradition for her family.

“We come every year,” she said, adding that the family used to go to a larger egg hunt but found the smaller hunt at Elburn to be a better experience. She was there with her husband, Chris, and Morgan (soon to be 8), Mallory (6), Carson (4) and Maryn (2).

“Why not support our community.”

Although conditions were chilly, Chris Iwanski said he’ll take that. He said he’s been at egg hunts that have been rainy, in snow and in freezing conditions. The kids, he said, did just fine.

“Oh, yeah, plenty,” he said when asked whether enough

It was a big day for egg hunts, with one staged in just about every town. In them, youths collect plastic eggs, which are filled with candy treats. In some, there were hunts specifically for dogs, with eggs filled with dog-friendly treats. One such event was sponsored by the Sugar Grove Park District.

Tom and Michelle Scales brought their sons, Jack (10) and Bryan (6), as well as their dog, Jet, a black lab they just

adopted last year.

“It was his first hunt,” Michelle Scales said. “We didn’t know what to expect.”

Tom Scales walked Jet through the hunt. He said he knew he would take Jet to the event when they adopted him, as the hunt is one of the family’s highlights.

“We try to do as much as we can with the park district,” he said. “They go out of their way to open it up for everyone, the kids, the dogs.”

Suzanne Serrurier, the park district’s financial manager and registrar, presided over the dog event. She said she heard of a similar one five years ago and decided it would be a good fit in Sugar Grove. Saturday’s event was the fourth to include dogs.

She said there were more than 40 dogs.

“The first year, we had maybe five dogs, so it’s grown,” she said. “So many people consider their pets as part of the family. We do want programs that include pets.”

She said the dog hunt is funded by private donations.

The kids hunt is sponsored

by American Heartland Bank and Trust.

Geneva mayoral candidates Bob McQuillan and Kevin Burns answer questions during Saturday’s mayoral forum at Kirkwood Homeowners Association. the closed Settlers Hill Landfill, which is sold on the power grid.

The city’s downtown and Geneva Commons generate $100 million each in sales tax, from which the city gets 1 percent, Burns said. The downtown’s vacancy rate was 15 percent in January 2012, now reduced to 8 percent, Burns said.

“Sales tax revenue is up,” Burns said.

McQuillan said he would promote the economic base of the downtown to gain more sales tax revenue, rather than looking to taxpayers.

The city’s portion of the tax bill is about 8 percent, officials said.

“In this current economy, we should be looking at a two-

how do we attract more people to our community,” Burns said.

With all the city’s festivals – run by the chamber – more than 500,000 people come to Geneva, Burns said.

“We invest in the chamber to help bring people to town,” Burns said. “State law precludes … pooling our money, as Mr. McQuillan describes, in order to market a larger region. We simply can’t do it.”

Burns agreed, however, that when neighboring towns succeed, the success includes Geneva. Leaders of Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles and West Chicago meet regularly, he said, to talk about how all can benefit from an influx of visitors.

Until state law changes, Burns said, “We do the very best we can to market our community.”

McQuillan advocated getting city leaders and lawmakers on a bus to Springfield and “demand that the state do what we want to do.”

Open house draws candidates campaigning in Sugar Grove races

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Candidates running in several Sugar Grove races, including village president, village board and library board, met with constituents Sunday at an open house organized by two candidates.

Pat Graceffa, write-in candidate for the Sugar Grove Library Board, and Ed De Bartolo, who is also running for library board, hosted the open house at the Sugar Grove Community House.

Graceffa wants to make sure voters had a chance to interact with candidates instead of listening to speeches.

Several candidates showed up for the three-hour open house, including village president candidates Kevin Geary and incumbent Sean Michels.

Geary said if he’s elected, his priorities would be to strive toward a more open and honest government, diversify the village’s tax base by bringing in new business and encourage more public participation. He said he would like to see the

He said he would also like to see a “world class” transportation system.

Michels, who has served as village president for 14 years, said one of his top priorities if re-elected is to work on an I-88 and Route 47 interchange, diversifying the tax base by bringing in new business and finish building out housing subdivisions that haven’t been completed. He said he also wants to revisit impact fee

agreements and bring a Metra station to the area.

Five Sugar Grove trustee candidates are running for three open seats in April.

Stephanie Landorf, who is campaigning for one of those seats, said if she’s elected, she wants to look into using money from the defunct Prairie Parkway project to fund an I-88 interchange, improvements at Route 47 and Route 56, or widening Route 47 between Sugar Grove and Yorkville. She also pushed for better transparency by streaming videos of meetings online.

“I think a lot of it is the time of day – it’s hard to get to meetings,” she said. “I’d like to see video put on the web.”

Gayle Deja-Schultz, who is running for village trustee, said if she’s elected, she would explore ways to streamline government processes. She would like to see responsible growth and better communication with residents, such as posting upcoming projects on the village’s website or on social media.

“I think a lot of times res-

idents don’t know about upcoming projects,” she said.

Incumbent Bob Bohler is seeking to retain his seat, which he has held 16 years.

His goal if re-elected is to keep budgets in the black, adding he thinks the village has positioned itself well during the last five years.

“We’ve done a lot to plan for the future, and I think the

future’s here,” he said.

Tom Rowe, one of four candidates seeking the Sugar Grove Township Supervisor seat, said his focus is to push for more youth and senior programming, and also reinstate a transportation program for seniors. He said it also would be beneficial to post meeting minutes and agendas on the township’s website.

GENEVA – Incumbent Mayor Kevin Burns and challenger Bob McQuillan engaged in a friendly repartee Saturday at a candidate forum at the Kirkwood Homeowners Association Clubhouse, where about 40 people attended.

Burns is seeking his fourth term in the April 9 consolidated election. McQuillan is co-founder of a local taxpayer watchdog group, Geneva TaxFACTS. The candidates’ discussion was free-wheeling and covered several topics.

In talking about the city’s debt, Burns said in 2001 when he was elected mayor, the city’s debt was $80 million. It has now been reduced to $54 million.

Burns spoke of the city’s improvements under his leadership. He said the city’s utility has the lowest electric rates in the area, and 10 percent of what is produced comes from

three-year plan and constantly updating it,” McQuillan said. “We don’t have a lot of opportunities to generate revenue outside of property taxes, except if we bring business in and if we take our sales tax revenue [and] increase that.”

McQuillan said he would promote a marketing program to attract younger people from Chicago to spend the day in Geneva. McQuillan said once young couples decide to have children, they will want to live in a community like Geneva – but the taxes have to be affordable.

McQuillan said Geneva should combine its marketing funds with other towns and do promotions as a group for the region.

Burns said the city does planning two to three years out, in addition to 20-year planning.

“There is a plan in place annually, that is audited by the city council and in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce with respect to

COACH SLY’S CORNER

Jeff Krage – For the Kane County Chronicle

Geneva’s Molly Axen is congratulated by Amanda Lulek after scoring the Vikings first goal during Saturday’s game against visiting West Aurora.

Vikings align to blitz W. Aurora

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Several young Geneva girls soccer fans scurried onto Burgess Field moments after the Vikings’ rout of West Aurora ended early Saturday afternoon.

One child stood in goal while the rest ripped away with close-range shots.

The pattern looked familiar.

More comfortable with each other and the team’s new 4-3-3 alignment after a week of training between games, the Vikings blitzed the Blackhawks, 8-0.

Switching from a 4-4-2 scheme entering the season, Geneva is aiming to create more offensive chances, even for its back line.

“I like it, personally, as a defender. I think it gives us a lot more opportunities up top,” Vikings junior Tory Herbst said. “I think our cover is great up there.

Our goals today were really good. We had people running up and then getting off the rebound, which is something we kind of lacked last year, I think. So I like it. I hope we stay with it. I think our team is going to jell pretty well with that.”

Senior stalwarts Molly Axen (three goals, one assist) and Amanda Lulek (two goals, one assist) capitalized most often in Geneva’s unrelenting attack.

Freshman midfielder/forward Maureen Kozlow nearly beat the duo to the punch, but her early goal was disallowed when the Vikings were ruled offside.

The Vikings (1-1) needed little time to recover, tallying their five first-half goals within a span of 16:18. Freshman midfielder Taylor Williams notched the fourth goal in that sequence, delighting the crowd and Kozlow, her friend and Strikers Fox Valley club teammate.

Both freshmen debuted in Geneva’s 2-1 loss to Waubonsie Valley on March 16 and are eager to keep gaining skills and adjusting to the varsity game.

“Exciting and a lot of fun,” Kozlow said. “It’s a good experience.”

The match began about 10 minutes before its initial start time after the Geneva JV scored a similar result. The match lost about 15 minutes of clock time when the Vikings triggered the mercy rule against the Blackhawks (02) with their seventh goal early in the second half.

Lulek beat Blackhawks goalkeeper Jasmine Mejia for the seventh goal after Axen expertly weaved through defenders down the right side.

Samantha Hauser posted the shutout for Geneva, deflecting the few chances West Aurora mustered. Blackhawks defender Sam O’Brien created some con-

cern with her long flip throw-ins, but Herbst and co. routinely cleared the pressure.

Annie Waldoch and Megan Fitz also scored, with Molly Stanfa (two) and Allie Mikos adding assists.

“We just tried to keep possession and keep [moving] forward, keep attacking and keep our shape defensively,” Kozlow said.

Geneva coach Megan Owens gave players Sunday through Wednesday off as they brace for what she called an “insanely tough” stretch to begin April.

The week includes an Upstate Eight Conference River Division match at St. Charles East before three games in East’s tournament.

Until then, the Vikings will look to stay sharp when they travel south to Granite City and Edwardsville for their spring break trip Thursday and Saturday. Granite City won the 3A state championship in 2011.

“It’s just good experience, especially in the beginning of the season, to kind of prepare ourselves for these next [conference] games coming up where it really matters, you know,” Herbst said.

“They’re nice schools and nice teams.

“It’s nice to kind of just go blindly into it and see what we can add to it without the external factors of rivalries.”

Maybe in another couple weeks we’ll see the considerable talents of area athletes come to the forefront.

But that will require, you know, games being played in normal weather and normal conditions.

For now, games being played at all would be progress.

For now, it’s all about maturity and toughness.

It can’t be easy to keep showing up at practice day after day for what amounts to extended spring training with the outdoor fields in sorry shape. Early morning practices, late night practices … whenever gym time is available, teams are trying to get whatever work in that they can.

This would be a tricky proposition for pro athletes, let alone a bunch of teenagers who aren’t always known for supreme patience.

But if you can keep your focus and get work in, having all this practice time before starting a season can be a big advantage for the first couple weeks of the season.

Especially for teams with clever coaches who know how to put the practice time to good use.

Once the games start getting played, that’s when toughness will come into play because, let’s face it, there are going to be a lot of athletes who would rather be doing anything but playing baseball (or softball or soccer or running track) on a 45-degree day.

Sly’s always been impressed by the kids who bring their A game, or something close to it, on those chilly days when you can’t feel your extremities.

You don’t have to be a middle linebacker to show you’re tough.

Fighting off an inside fastball on a cold, April day, and lining the next pitch into the gap shows the same thing.

BLOOMINGTON – Burlington Central senior Kayla Wolf repeated as Illinois Prep Top Times Class 2A girls 400-meter champion Saturday, winning the event in 2:16.2.

It was one of a handful of highlights for Chronicle-area athletes at the renowned indoor track meet at Illinois Wesleyan. In the 3A girls meet, St. Charles East closed with authority, winning the 4x400 relay in 3:57.75.

The quartet of Elizabeth Chmelik, Jordan Shead, Allison Chmelik and Britney Williams collaborated on the title for the Saints.

“I thought the race went really well,” Williams said.

“We ran faster than we did all season.”

Wolf used a strong closing kick to seal her individual victory.

“For her this spring with the weather, it’s been so difficult for our kids to get their training in and what they need,” Rockets coach Vince Neil said. “To have her perform that way in a sprint event is pretty amazing.”

Classmate Katie Trupp finished second in the high jump by clearing a school indoor record 5 feet, 6 inches.

Trupp also medaled in the pole vault, clearing 11-6.

Kaneland’s Lauren Zick was second in the long jump with a mark of 18-5. The Knights’ Brianna Bower placed fourth in the 3,200, running in 11:26.

For the 2A boys, Kaneland excelled in the relays, taking second in the 4x400 in 3:29 and fourth in the 4x800 in 8:18. Nathaniel Kucera and Kyle Carter competed for both groups.

“It could have been a lit-

tle bit better, but it’s early in the season and it’s indoor,” Knights coach Eric Baron said. “It is what it is, and we’re looking forward to getting outside.”

In 3A, top-seeded Kevin Grahovec of Marmion finished second in the 800 by the slimmest of margins, running .01 seconds behind champion Connor Rachford of Bartlett (1:58.66).

East’s Allison Chmelik was fourth in the girls triple jump with a 36-4.

Tuesday Feature on Wheaton Academy sophomore basketball player Josh Ruggles, who overcame three heart surgeries as a boy.

Ruggles won the IHSA state 3-point shooting contest in Peoria earlier this month.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Unbothered: If it was bad manners to pop a cough drop into one’s mouth in public, more than a few large brands would be out of business. While I agree with your friend that if people are sick they should stay home, some coughs linger beyond the stage when they are contagious.

I do NOT think that because someone bought expensive tickets to an event and gets sick the day before that it’s all right to attend anyway and risk infecting everyone within “coughshot.” The considerate thing to do is to cancel and ask for a refund.

Dear Abby: I have a friend in another state who has been posting on Facebook about her diagnosis of cancer. Her postings started in October, followed by more postings about delay after delay in the treatment.

First it was insurance – she doesn’t have any. Then it was multiple CAT scans and PETs. Now she’s planning her own fundraiser, and I’m beginning to think she has made the whole thing up.

It looks like there will be no treatment until after the fundraiser, even though she claims the cancer is stage 4.

What do you think? – Suspicious In New York Dear Suspicious: I think that if there is any doubt in your mind about this woman’s character, you should not contribute. And I also think that if your suspicions are true, your friend is planning to commit fraud and could wind up “recuperating” in prison.

To My Jewish Readers:

Why is tonight different from every other night?

Because Passover begins at sundown. Happy Passover, everyone!

Dear Abby: My friend “Eden” recently told me her husband constantly compares her to me. It came up because she asked how I was feeling in my first trimester of pregnancy, and I confided that I have been having a tough time keeping up with my household duties.

Instead of sympathizing, she said, “Wow! I’ll have to tell my husband that, because he’s always talking about how clean your house is and how you cook dinner for your family every night.”

I was really hurt that she was taking pleasure in my failures. I also felt uncomfortable that her husband compares her unfavorably to me. It isn’t the first time she has mentioned how he talks about me.

I have distanced myself, hoping things would get better, but when I see her, she invariably manages to get in a little “dig.” I’m unsure how to handle this. We’re neighbors and have mutual friends. I thought we were friends, but now I realize she harbors some resentment toward me for something I didn’t cause. Help! – No Contest In Maryland Dear No Contest: Unless Eden’s husband stops using you as the cudgel to beat her down with, you can forget being friends. A way to handle it would be to talk to her husband and say, “Please stop comparing me to your wife because it is affecting our friendship!”

Dear Abby: Whenever my best friend smells a cough drop, she comments that it’s “rude” to eat one in public and that if someone is sick, the person should stay home.

I would much rather smell someone’s cough drop than listen to coughing during an entire movie or opera. Some people may have bought expensive tickets to a show only to get sick the day before or have allergies that cause them to cough.

So, is it rude to eat a cough drop in public or not?

The optimist and the pessimist

SOLUTION

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Don Marquis, a journalist and humorist who died in 1937, said, “A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.”

Not at the bridge table! A pessimist will do better in the long run and should rarely listen to an optimist.

This deal is an example. South has barreled into four spades.

West cashes two club tricks, then guesses well in shifting to the diamond jack. East takes dummy’s queen with his ace and returns the suit. How would an optimist or a pessimist continue?

North made a single raise with a maximum for the bid, having four trumps, a kingqueen and a doubleton. South’s jump to four spades was a tad optimistic, but he expected the game to have play. Also, perhaps the opponent might misjudge, bid five clubs, and pay a doubled penalty.

West was tempted to shift to his singleton heart at trick three, hoping that his partner had a major-suit ace. But he was not that optimistic.

South saw that he needed the heart finesse to succeed, so, whether an optimist or a pessimist, assumed that it would.

The optimist, leaving it at that, would draw three rounds of trumps ending on the board and run the heart 10. The finesse would win, but when declarer repeated it, West would show out and the contract would fail.

The pessimist would anticipate the 1-4 heart break. He would play a heart to his queen at trick five. Then he would draw trumps ending with dummy’s queen, run the heart 10, play a heart to his jack, and claim.
