Traveling Teen summer camps offer trips to suburbs, Chicago

By CAROL HAGGAS editorial@kcchronicle.com It should be a truism in life that one is never too old for day camp. And for tweens and teens in grades six through nine, that’s certainly the case with the St. Charles Park District’s Traveling Teen camp.

Each week from June 8, through Aug. 14, kids can head out to some of the area’s most adventurous, entertaining and – this one’s for you, parents – educational attractions.

From Brunswick Zone to Brookfield Zoo and Rinkside Sports to Rainbow Falls, the venues for the Traveling Teen summer camps are designed to do just that – allow teens to travel to places they ordinarily might not get to visit, both in the suburbs and in the city.

Destinations like Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Lincoln Park Zoo and the Museum of Science and Industry, and outings, such as a Chicago trolley tour and Seadog cruise let local teens feel like tourists for a day. And trips to Enchanted Castle, Raging Waves, Magic Waters and other places help put the “active” in “activity.”

“We take campers on the kinds of outings working parents might not have time to fit into their schedule,” said Cheryl Riley, teen camp recreation supervisor for the park district.

Indeed, the Traveling Teen camp program is ideal for working parents with older children who still require daytime activities and supervision. There is even a beforeand after-camp program that provides extra morning and afternoon coverage to more

closely coincide with a workday schedule.

Camp sessions run Monday through Thursdays, with a Friday program available on select dates throughout the summer. Each week, teens can find themselves at places such as the Milwaukee Discovery museum and diving into the pool at Splash Country or gazing at the stars at Adler Planetarium or running the pipeline at Paradise Bay Water Park. The camps are a balanced combination of field trip travel and nearby fun.

Wednesdays typically are “wild card” days when teens plan the day’s activity. They can select from camp favorites or suggest a new venue, according to Riley. And Chicagoland’s hottest spots are on the schedule for seven

COVER STORY GRADUATION 2015: This is part three in a five-part series celebrating our local graduating seniors.

A LOVE OF LEARNING

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia High School graduate Hallie Gaitsch said she enjoys learning inside and outside of the classroom.

In addition to her school studies, she also has been doing astrophysics research at Fermilab in Batavia. Her work includes scanning the skies for signs of dark energy and dark matter as part of The Dark Energy Survey, “I love that aspect of science, and that’s kind of been my gateway into the sciences,” Gaitsch said. “What is exciting about science is that there always is so much more to learn.”

Gaitsch, who graduated at the top of her class with a 4.375 grade point average, was scheduled to give the academic address at Wednesday’s Batavia High School graduation ceremony at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.

The Kane County Chronicle is highlighting local high school students this week for a five-day series celebrating graduating seniors.

Gaitsch plans to attend Yale University in the fall and will major in molecular, cellular and developmental

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Batavia High School graduate and accomplished viola player Hallie Gaitsch plans to attend Yale University in the fall. biology. She said she eventually would like to do medical research.

Gaitsch chose Yale after being admitted to several schools, including Princeton University, Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. For Gaitsch, learning is fun.

“When I get into a subject, I will really get into it,” she said. “I’ll read up on it on my own, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be within the confines of a school day. And I would say that was what I was most looking for in a college, a place where learning was ap-

preciated and where that was kind of above all else.”

Music also is an important part of her life. She played the viola in the Batavia High School Chamber Orchestra, as well as the Batavia High School Philharmonic Orchestra. Gaitsch also performed in the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra.

She was president of the Tri-M Music Honor Society chapter at Batavia High School.

“Music has given me so many opportunities,” Gaitsch said. “I would say that is

probably where I first gained most of my confidence as a sixth-grader.”

As a private music teacher, Gaitsch has passed on that love for music. She has been teaching viola and violin lessons since her freshman year.

“I guess I saw how far music has taken me and how it allowed me to grow as a person,” Gaitsch said. “And I wanted to pass that along to other kids. I think it is also such a great experience to teach something that you yourself are pretty good at, to someone who is just starting out, because you realize how hard your teachers worked to teach it to you.”

Batavia High School Principal JoAnne Smith said what impresses her the most about Gaitsch is how she has been able to strike a balance between getting straight A’s in the challenging classes she has taken (including five Advanced Placement classes this year), along with being a musician and her work at Fermilab.

“She is a great ambassador for Batavia High School,” Smith said. “It’s pretty exciting to have one of our students go to Yale, of course, and continue her ambassadorship of Batavia High School there. It will be exciting to see where

Gaitsch had some advice for her fellow graduates and incoming Batavia High School freshmen.

“Take every opportunity that’s given to you and seek out new opportunities that you didn’t even think would be available to you,” she said.

Rosary graduate balances roles of student, teacher

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com NORTH AURORA – Rosary High School graduate Isabelle Ylo has been balancing the roles of student and teacher.

The 17-year-old North Aurora resident has been a peer tutor throughout her time at Rosary High School, helping her fellow students understand chemistry and physics.

“It’s really rewarding,” Ylo said.

“It’s exciting to see people grasp new

concepts.”

Rosary’s High School graduation ceremony was set for Wednesday night at St. John Neumann Church in St. Charles.

Ylo, who was the valedictorian for her class, plans to go to Northern Illinois University in the fall and Isabelle Ylo major in chemistry.

She hopes to become a chemist.

“Chemistry is my favorite subject in school,” Ylo said.

Ylo, who is an honors student and an Illinois State Scholar, credited Rosary for creating a strong learning environment for students. Rosary is a Catholic college preparatory school for young women sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Springfield.

She was a member of Rosary’s Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering team, which placed first this year in regional and sectional competition and fifth in state competition. At

the state competition, Ylo placed first in chemistry and second in physics.

Ylo has balanced her school activities with other activities, including being a volunteer at the church she attends – New Covenant Bible Church in St. Charles – and volunteering her time at Messenger Public Library in North Aurora.

She is a strong believer in the value of volunteering, especially at her church.

“You need to be a steward of what you have,” Ylo said.

Informational meeting for summer camp set for May 28 in St. Charles 7 Fridays during the course of the summer. Space is limited for these popular trips to places, such as Great America, Magic Waters or even the Cubs/Sox game Aug. 14.

Questions will be answered regarding camp logistics and requirements.

STRINGING ALONG It usually comes as a shock to most people when they first discern spots or lines drifting across their fields of vision. This phenomenon is most evident when looking up at a clear blue sky or other solid background. These so-called “floaters” are extremely common and not dangerous. Most people experience floaters at some point in their lives, but they tend to disappear over time. Floaters can be explained by agerelated changes in the vitreous humor, the jelly-like substance in the eyeball. As this substance shrinks, it tends to clump, which causes shadows to be cast on the retina that the brain perceives as dark spots. If floaters become bothersome and interfere with daily life, laser treatment may be considered.

P.S. The laser treatment used to treat bothersome floaters, laser vitreolysis, utilizes an Nd:YAG laser to vaporize floaters.

ELBURN – The mission to bring a skate park to Elburn made a stop Monday night at Village Hall, as the teenagers leading the push brought their message to the Elburn Village Board.

The teens sat together at the meeting, with a member of the group, Spencer Matias, speaking to board members during the meeting’s public comment portion. The teens, all students at Kaneland Harter Middle School, have been circulating a petition in town seeking support. They also launched a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise money.

They were joined at the meeting by Rick Banik, an instructor at Harter who has been helping the teens in their quest.

Matias said the GoFundMe effort seeks to raise $75,000.

As of Wednesday afternoon, $150 had been pledged.

Village President Dave Anderson told the teens the village doesn’t have money to put toward a skate park, and there also is a question about where it would be located.

Matias said money wasn’t the focus.

“What are you really asking us to do?” Trustee Jeff Walter asked.

Matias said the teens were looking for permission to pursue a park and seeking a location for it. He said an ideal place would be near the park located across the street from the Town and Country Public Library, which is at 320 E. North St. in Elburn.

Trustee Pat Schuberg said a skate park is something that could become a future agenda item.

“You could come back with more specifics,” she said.

Those on the board were supportive of the idea if the teens are able to move forward in the process.

“I don’t think anybody here is against a skate park,” Anderson said.

Board members said it is the third time such an idea for a skate park had been raised in the village. Matias said if the teens were able to generate more interest in the quest, they might be able to raise the money in a couple of years.

“We’re going to do it for as long as it takes,” Matias said.

designed to promote technological innovation

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The U.S. House has passed two bills sponsored by U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, designed to promote technological innovation.

The bills, which will head to the U.S. Senate, were passed Randy Hultgren without opposition. The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on June 4 is set to hold hearings on the two bills.

One of the bills is designed to promote the easy transfer of federal research into the private sector to bring to the marketplace. Hultgren said the bill would help ensure discoveries made at national labs, such as Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, do not get stuck there.

“Our national labs have been a primary driver of American innovation since the Manhattan Project, but many of their most important discoveries have been made in the past decade,” Hultgren stated in a news release.

Fermilab officials said they could not comment on the bill. The second bill is designed to jump start research into high-performance computing technologies to ensure continued American leadership in advanced computing.

ST. CHARLES – A former dean’s assistant for St. Charles North High School, who is accused of having sexual contact with a student from Christopher the school, A. Lee made a brief court appearance Wednesday.

Christopher A. Lee, 29, faces two counts of criminal sexual assault, a Class 1 felony, and two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony, in connection with an incident involving a St. Charles North student, ac-

Mom – the champion of jobs After celebrating Mother’s Day two weeks ago, I came to the realization that I’m fortunate to have such a loving mother present in my life. Before I was born, my mom took on the career that forced her to dedicate her life to raising her kids from merely babies to adults.

I tend to think of stay-at-home moms as superheroes in disguise. These mothers put their children before themselves, clean up messes with lighting speed and can somehow read minds, as they always seem to know when their kid is feeling down or going to throw up; you get the idea. A stay-at-home mom is an adult who stays at home and has one simple task: making sure her kids travel through adolescence smoothly.

Yet, many adults are opposed to staying home all day and prefer to go to work. It kills me when I hear people complain that stayat-home moms are lazy for not working in a professional career.

In reality, these women work more hours than anyone could ever imagine, and they don’t even get paid for overtime. Stay-athome moms are skilled sandwich-making chefs, problem-solving geniuses, psychiatrists, love experts and maids all rolled up into one sweet, loving soul.

I like to think the reason I grew up into such a responsible, family-oriented person is because of how my mother was constantly by my side throughout my adolescence. I must applaud my mom for being there for me every day when I come home from school, as I am always known to vent about my day to her once I step through the front door. On the contrary, I know so many mothers who barely have the time to communicate with their kids because of their hectic work schedules.

This saddens me, especially since the key to building strong,

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina close relationships is spending time with your children and talking with them. If a mother is working endless hours of the day, this is occasionally challenging to accomplish.

Being a stay-at-home mom also has several financial benefits. With a mom at home, there is no need for hiring a babysitter or paying for daycare, which saves a load of money in your pocket. Additionally, stay-athome moms can eliminate their need for expensive work clothes, since everyday attire at home can be simply baggy sweat pants and a T-shirt.

My siblings and I are adults now, and therefore, the need for a stay-at-home mom isn’t really that demanding in my house anymore. Yet, my mother continues to be just as hardworking and alert as she was when I was 5. I can never be more grateful for what she does for my family and me. According to a 2014 report from salary.com, the total average “salary” of a stay-athome mom would be around $118,905. It’s a shame that number isn’t real, because if it was, I would be living in a mansion.

A few days ago, I asked my mom why she became a stayat-home mom. She told me she chose the lifestyle she’s had for the past several years because she knew the needs of her children exceeded her own. I like her way of thinking.

ANOTHER VIEW

Finally, Obama stops sending military hardware to police BLOOMBERG NEWS The police protect the public. The military protects the republic. In an age of terrorism, their jobs necessarily overlap, especially in large cities.

But some lines between police officers and soldiers ought to remain distinct, and President Barack Obama took an essential step this week toward reining in the counterproductive militarization of police departments that has occurred since the attacks of Sept. 11.

Last summer, Americans got an eye-opening glimpse of what can go wrong when local police departments make injudicious use of surplus military supplies. In the aftermath of the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, armored convoys with officers wearing military fatigues and wielding military rifles – and occasionally pointing them at peaceful protesters – made their town look like

a war zone.

No citizens were shot, thankfully. But the inept response made the tense situation in Ferguson far worse. Many Americans were outraged, and elected officials in both political parties expressed concern.

It was obvious the White House needed to clamp down on deliveries of military supplies and ensure that police departments receiving them be trained to use them properly.

But because almost nothing in Washington happens without the appointment of a commission, it took the president nine months to issue the executive order.

Better late than never.

Crossed off the Army-surplus distribution list now are tanklike vehicles, grenade launchers, bayonets, camouflage uniforms, and – were these really included to begin with? – armored aircraft and ships.

Departments will have to justify the need for other kinds of equipment, includ-

ing explosives and mine-resistant ambush protected, or MRAP, vehicles. The bar ought to be set high.

Just as important, equipment will be distributed with new training requirements. Helping local police departments prevent and prepare for terrorist activity and attacks remains an urgent national challenge, but there are better ways to go about it – including by absorbing more of the costs that a few big-city police departments (such as Chicago, New York and Los Angeles) spend on counterterrorism.

The federal government also should devote more funding to technologies that can alert the authorities to possible terrorist activity, from cameras that can detect suspicious actions (such as someone abandoning a suitcase on a street corner) to sensors that detect chemical weapons.

What doesn’t help is to arm police officers like soldiers, then leave it to them to figure out how to proceed.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Designer opens bridal boutique in Geneva St. Charles resident Caroline DeVillo designs wedding dresses. She recently opened a bridal design studio that features her Caroline DeVillo Couture line. The studio is located at 312 S. Third St. in downtown Geneva, in the same building as Margaret Matson Fine Jewelry.

Caroline DeVillo designs couture wedding dresses

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com GENEVA – St. Charles resident Caroline DeVillo wants to help brides find the perfect wedding dress.

DeVillo, 39, a 1993 graduate of St. Charles High School, designs wedding dresses. She recently opened a bridal design studio that features her Caroline DeVillo Couture line. The studio is located at 312 S. Third St. in downtown Geneva, in the same building as Margaret Matson Fine Jewelry. The store is open by appointment only. Information is available by visiting, www.carolinedevillo.com.

DeVillo had previously owned a retail location in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, and Caroline DeVillo Couture gowns are also sold at Nordstrom stores across the country.

Kane County reporter Eric Schelkopf had the chance to talk to DeVillo about her design studio.

Eric Schelkopf: So, the studio only features your own designs?

Caroline DeVillo: It does. And then the bride can work directly with me to make changes and customize things to what they want.

Schelkopf: What do you set out to do with your wedding gowns?

DeVillo: I bring that kind of vintage Hollywood look, as well as modern touches of today, so it doesn’t look totally vintage.

Schelkopf: In your collection, how many different styles do you have?

DeVillo: I probably have 40 gowns in the collection. A lot of the original ones are still around, because they are still pretty classic.

Schelkopf: I know that your gowns are

but the brides will be working with me, who designed the dress.

I am honest with people and tell them if something physically won’t work. Because if you aren’t honest, then you will end up with an unhappy bride and you don’t want that.

available at Nordstrom stores across the country. That must have been pretty thrilling, for Nordstrom to pick up your line. That says a lot about your work.

DeVillo: It was huge. It was a pretty cool moment. Ironically, working at Nordstrom was my first job out of college.

It’s always been one of my favorite stores. And they’ve been great to work with.

Schelkopf: So, you will work with brides on making custom changes to the gown they have picked out.

DeVillo: A lot of stores kind of do that,

Schelkopf: What made you want to open your design studio on Third Street in Geneva?

DeVillo: I’ve always loved Third Street. It’s just very charming.

There is a lot of great shopping around there. It just seemed like a good fit, and the right place to be.

Schelkopf: Are you coming up with new designs all the time and how are you inspired?

DeVillo: I do a new line once a year.

I usually show once a year at the New York Bridal Market.

Typically, I get inspired by just everyday fashions and classic red carpet glamour, kind of mixing those two things together.

Schelkopf: What do you think makes your weddings gowns different from other gowns out there?

DeVillo: A lot of it is the fit and the construction. I tend to use the best of everything I can find, like the nicest silks and laces.

I go for a simple, elegant type of thing. My philosophy is that you should

look at the bride’s face, not say, “Oh my gosh, there’s the dress.”

Schelkopf: Did you design your own wedding dress?

DeVillo: I did. I didn’t replicate it though and sell it.

I figured it would have been weird if I showed up in a different designer’s dress. But it was the one I probably felt the most pressure on, because I knew everybody would be coming to the wedding and wanting to see what I did.

Schelkopf: How long does the process take, from designing to actually putting the wedding dress together?

DeVillo: You have to get the patterns made, and make sure the fit is there. So that’s probably the most time consuming part of it, getting the patterns and fit right before you actually make the gown.

Schelkopf: What’s the biggest satisfaction you get out of designing wedding gowns?

DeVillo: I’ve actually never been one that’s really into weddings, for whatever reason. I love working individually with the brides.

I love helping someone pick out the perfect thing for them, and seeing that recognition in their face. I usually probably know it before they do.

‘Friends’ actor a part of ‘Celebrity Autobiography’ show

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Actress Maggie Wheeler is probably best known for her Janice Litman Goralnik character on the popular television show “Friends.”

Wheeler, along with “Saturday Night Live” cast member Vanessa Bayer and Steve Schirripa, who played the character Bobby “Bacala” Baccalieri on the show “The Sopranos,” will star in “Celebrity Autobiography” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 30, at the Batavia Fine Arts Centre, 1201 Main St., Batavia.

Tickets are available by going to the Batavia Fine Arts Centre’s website, www.bataviafineartscentre.org. Kane County Chronicle reporter Photo provided Eric Schelkopf had the chance Maggie Wheeler, best known as Janice from “Friends,” will star in to talk to Wheeler about the “Celebrity Autobiography” on Saturday, May 30, at the Batavia Fine upcoming show.

Arts Centre.

Eric Schelkopf: As far as being part of the show, what made you want to do it?

Maggie Wheeler: Well, Eugene Pack, who created the show along with Dayle Reyfel, reached out to me about two years ago and asked me to do it.

It just seemed like such a great adventure, and we just had such fun. It’s a fantastic show; it’s such a funny show.

Every time I do it, it’s a different cast, so I get the chance

to work with some really wonderful people and make people laugh, which is what I love to do.

Schelkopf: I know that the whole premise is that you are performing actual memoirs of celebrities. Who have you done so far?

Wheeler: I can’t remember all the different people that I’ve done, but with this show coming up, I will be doing Kris Jenner, Barbra Streisand, I

think Britney Spears, a little bit of Suzanne Somers, and a great sort of a mash up we do – Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds – just a great love triangle, with sort of the same chapter of life being told from three different perspectives, and it’s really fun.

Schelkopf: You are probably best known for your role as Janice on the television show “Friends.” I understand that in auditioning for the role,

you decided to use this nasally, highpitched voice. What made you think that voice was good for the role?

Wheeler: Well, when I received the pages for the audition scene, it said at the top of the page that she was a fast-talking New Yorker. I grew up in New York City, and I sort of know and love all those types of characters and types of women.

And I’m also very interested in the sort of music of the human voice. So, when I saw the language that she used in that first audition scene, I could just hear her.

So, that was the choice that I made on that fateful day.

Schelkopf: Some people have surmised that it’s kind of a parody of Fran Drescher’s character on the television show “The Nanny.” Did that cross your mind at all?

Wheeler: No, never. I love Fran Drescher, but I wasn’t really thinking about her. As I said, New York is full of these speech patterns. Every borough has its own dialect.

It’s something I really revel in, and I like to play those characters.

Schelkopf: Did you ever think that your character Janice would last 10 years on the show?

Wheeler: You know, I had no idea really. I just went in to do a single episode. That’s all it was in the beginning.

All I was doing was showing up to do a guest spot. And I was thrilled when they brought me back and each time could have been the last.

So, I’m grateful that they loved Janice so much that they kept bringing her back.

Schelkopf: As far as why you liked the character, what intrigued you about Janice?

Wheeler: First of all, it was such a great collaborative environment. The cast was so brilliant, and the writers were so brilliant.

We can start with the fact that it was great writing, and there is nothing better for an actor than great writing. I really found the character in the writing.

And then I fell in love with her as she evolved, and the audiences fell in love with her, too. It’s fun to play someone who doesn’t really understand the impact they are having on the room.

And also, to kind of [be] annoying in an unbridled way.

It’s a very liberating and enjoyable process.

There were many things that I loved about playing her.

Schelkopf: Why don’t you think Chandler and Janice worked as a couple?

Class 3A Geneva Regional

ccasey@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Geneva girls soccer team came into Wednesday’s regional semifinal match against Lake Park with a lot of players playing in their first-ever playoff game.

It showed for a little bit after the Vikings allowed a firsthalf goal, but with a motivational halftime talk and strong leadership, the Vikings came away with a 2-1 victory to keep their season alive.

Geneva will face St. Charles North at noon Saturday for the Class 3A Geneva Regional championship.

“I think we lost our composure there for a bit when they got the tying goal,” senior forward Mary Landry said. “But we came together at halftime, and made sure to make our communication much better in the second half, and we found a way to come out on top. That is really all that matters at this point.”

The Vikings started practicing some short corner opportunities this week in practice and got one to pay off for the game’s opening goal.

“We had some tired legs

and saw a chance to try it,” Landry said of the short corner. “We practiced corners a lot [Tuesday] in practice and it definitely paid off for us.”

With a young group on the field, and in a game where a loss would have ended the season, Vikings coach Megan Owens thought scoring first helped the team’s confidence.

“With over half the team

playing in their first ever playoff game, there’s no doubt that nerves played a role,” Owens said. “It was nice to get the first win under our belts and advance. We had a lot of opportunities and we knew that if we kept working hard that one would find the back of the net and it did.”

Geneva got its first test of the postseason when Lake Park (10-8-3) and senior forward Lexi Ruffolo tied the game with just less than 11 minutes remaining in the half.

GENEVA – David Burchard had a hat trick and goaltender Kevin Belter made five saves, helping the Geneva boys lacrosse team defeat Marmion, 14-2, Wednesday in an IHSLA B-class second round playoff game.

The Vikings won by a similar score in April.

“Just coming out and taking care of business early,” Geneva coach Derek Bahler said. “We had played these guys earlier in the season. We knew what we could do. So we just had to come out, connect on passes and put it in the back of the net.”

Geneva (13-2) will host Jacobs, a team it defeated at home last week, in the next round Friday.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE ROCHELLE – The Kaneland girls soccer team did everything it wanted to against IMSA on Wednesday afternoon in a cold and rainy atmosphere for the Class 2A Rochelle Regional semifinal.

Most importantly, the Knights clinched a spot in Friday’s championship match with an 11-0 blowout.

The Knights (16-3) were held scoreless for the opening 10 minutes but then scored five goals over the next four minutes to put the game out of reach.

Kaneland scored 10 firsthalf goals and will play Rosary Friday. The Royals (8-7-1) knocked the Knights out at this stage of the postseason the past two years.

“I think we played pretty well,” Kaneland midfielder Madison Jurcenko said. “We had a good practice (Tuesday) with crisp passing, so I think that carried over to today and we did what we needed to do.”

Jurcenko finished the contest with one goal and two assists to lead the Knights.

Strikers Kiandra Powell and Holly Collingbourne scored two goals apiece.

For the Knights, getting everyone into the contest was beneficial with only one day of rest between games.

“It’s huge. We always want to do that,” coach Scott Parillo said. “There are just games where we can’t, but that is our goal every game. We have gotten to do that quite a few times because we have had some scores kind of like today.”

2) had a 3-1 lead midway through the second half and was frequently pressuring the Barbs before DeKalb rallied to force overtime.

Burlington Central scored the lone goal in overtime when the ball got by DeKalb goalkeeper Lauren Hagleston and freshman midfielder Elizabeth Gousios kicked it into the back of the net two minutes into the first extra period.

All three Rockets to score on the day – Gousios, Megan Majewski and Jordan King (two goals) – were freshmen.

“They have a great supporting staff with the seniors in back of them,” Rockets coach Jessica Arneson said.

“I think that’s really helped them excel. I think a lot of our freshmen have stepped up in big moments.”

Burlington Central advances to play No. 1 seed Sycamore for the regional title.

In the previous meeting between the two teams this season, the Rockets came away with a 3-0 win.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD STATE MEET

Nimble Ernst boosts North

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

A

udrey Ernst balanced her emotions and a bustling event slate throughout Friday’s Class 3A St. Charles North Sectional girls track meet.

The whole juggling concept is nothing new for the North freshman distance standout, who’s a triathlete by trade.

A qualifier for this weekend’s state meet in Charleston as part of the North Stars’ 4x800-meter relay and as an individual in the 1,600, Ernst credits her multifaceted training for success both on and off the track.

“It’s just been a great experience for me; the cross training, especially,” she said. “I’ve found that I don’t really get injured as easily.

It’s definitely difficult, but it helps me with endurance. It’s kind of like my main sport.”

Could have fooled the North Stars. In addition to her track success, Ernst

shined during cross country season in the fall, earning all-state accolades with a 13th-place run in the 3A state meet in 17:09.

Triathlon training and competition through Tri-Cities based MMTT kept her busy between prep seasons and also overlapped at times.

Ernst missed the Audrey Ernst girls Kane County meet April 30 to represent MMTT at the CAMTRI Triathlon American Championships in Monterey, Mexico, where she placed eighth in her junior age division.

“I was really excited about that, making it to that,” Ernst said. “It’s North and South America, so it was a really great experience. I was really happy with how I finished.”

Although her triathlon travels take her to exotic locales, Ernst admits she’s equally comfortable stateside,

especialy when the destination includes being in the company of her North Stars teammates.

In 2014, North’s 4x800 quartet narrowly missed the fully automated timing qualifying standard. A year later, Ernst joined seniors Sydney Brellenthin and Morgan Lain, along with junior Nina Olshever to run 9:33.79, about five seconds better than the qualifying time.

“We couldn’t have done it without her,” Brellenthin said. “She’s just a freshman and she’s brand new, and she’s learning. And she did a lot of it.”

North finished fourth among the sectional’s five qualifiers, but in mobbing one another on the infield moments later, the North Stars made it tough for any bystander to tell.

After collecting more than her share of embraces, Ernst gathered herself to compete in the 1,600 later in the night.

She opened the race with a strong kick, following her

custom, but eventually lost the lead to senior champion Torree Scull of St. Charles East, who has enjoyed competing against Ernst all season.

“You kind of expect her to go out fast,” Scull said. “It’s just I like to go at it a bit more conservative and then build and then have my finishing kick. And it worked out good (Friday), but she’s a great runner.”

And biker, and swimmer, so the triathlon itinerary goes.

Ernst especially credits the bike phase for strengthening and conditioning her legs for the late stages of races.

She awaits more triathlon activity this summer, but until then is eager for the opportunity to earn two state medals this weekend. Her relay mates are enthralled, too.

“This year, we knew we could do this. We knew we could make it to state,” Ernst said. “That was our goal. We kept telling each other and put it all out there.”

BC, Ege primed for sectionals

A look at where Chronicle-area boys track teams will be competing in sectionals

By KEVIN DRULEY

kdruley@shawmedia.com Superstitious boys track and field athletes might be inclined to look both ways before using the idiom “calm before the storm.”

Illinois spring weather aside, Burlington Central senior hurdler and sprinter Lucas Ege isn’t one of them. He’s simply describing the nature of the final few workouts before Friday’s Class 2A Sterling Sectional.

“It kind of is all year, but right now, everything is geared toward state,” Ege said.

“So just trying to avoid injury … trying to keep that stable while trying to get that last push in to get better in anything that we can.”

Central will join Kaneland at Friday’s 16-team event. In their most recent head-to-head encounter earlier this month, the third-place Knights finished three spots ahead of the Rockets in the Kane County meet.

“We’re still working hard, but we’re just trying to keep it safe and controlled as possible,” Ege said.

Determined ’Dogs: Batavia is channeling its inner American Pharoah and gunning for an unofficial triple crown.

After earning a Kane County meet title May 9, the Bulldogs won the Upstate Eight

Conference River Division meet May 14. Tonight, they’ll vie for another piece of hardware at the 3A West Aurora Sectional.

The county title was the program’s first since a threepeat from 2001 to 2003. The Bulldogs are in search of their first sectional victory since taking the 3A Bartlett Sectional championship in 2011.

The 2001 team owns the top state meet finish in Batavia history, taking eighth in AA. Knights keep charging: A third-place finisher at the Kane County meet, Kaneland tied for the Northern Illinois Big 12 title last week. The real stretch run catalyst for the Knights, however, occurred before any of those.

Winning the 13-team Crystal Lake Central Invitational on May 2 reinvigorated a group that already was well-stocked in the confidence department.

“We really thought we surpassed what we were able to do,” Knights coach Eric Baron said.

Kaneland has built on that momentum since, continuing with the conference meet at Rochelle. A victory from the 4x400 relay in the night’s final event – Sean Spaetzel, Cody DeLarme, Tanner Robertson and Brandon Cruz won in 3:28.98 – was instrumental in forging a tie with Geneseo for the team title.

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD

Stellick put Vikings up with 17 minutes left • GENEVA Continued from page 24 Lake Park coach Chris Fruehling thought halftime came at a bad time for his team, as it gained some momentum from the goal. Geneva settled down during the break and regained its composure.

“I give a lot of credit to [Geneva],” Fruehling said. “I think both teams left everything they had on the field and it was tough to kind of put a halt, so to speak, in our momentum at halftime. But Geneva capitalized on a good chance and end-

ed up winning the game.”

That eventual game-winning goal was put in by Maddie Stellick after a series of deflections left the freshman forward staring at an empty net. She put the Vikings on top, 2-1, with 17 minutes left in the match.

Owens and Geneva settled down after taking the lead and now set up a match with Upstate Eight Conference River Division rival North.

The first game of Geneva’s season resulted in a 3-1 loss to the North Stars (18-2-2), who beat Rolling Meadows, 7-0, in their regional semifinal Tuesday.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I am responding to “Tired of Talking to Myself,” whose husband’s ears slam shut when she begins to speak. This is not a problem that’s exclusive to men. Women do it as well. As a retired PA (physician’s assistant), when talking with patients, I would refer to it as selective hearing loss.

“Tired” needs to look at her own behavior because I have never seen one partner be the only guilty one. My wife can hear the ticking of the turn signal that wasn’t turned off, but she doesn’t always hear my questions or statements.

There are many reasons why it happens, but the way to resolve it is to listen when your partner talks to you. If you do, you will find that he/she returns the courtesy. Perhaps if “Tired” gives a closer look to her own behavior, she’ll stop referring to it as a male problem. – Frank In

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Portland, Texas Dear Frank: Thanks for your letter. When I asked readers for input, they heard me loud and clear and gave me an earful: Dear Abby: Focus is a strength for many men like me. I am a little hard of hearing and need to focus on what I am listening to. If you want open ears, hold my hands and make sure I am looking at your face. You will now have my attention. Tell me what you want from me. I want you to be happy and will do what I can for you. – A Little Hard Of Hearing (Chuck) Dear Abby: Some researchers say women speak about 13,000 more words a day than men do.

There’s a joke that explains it’s

because we have to say everything twice! – Jenny In North Carolina Dear Abby: Men have no patience. They only want to hear a brief, straight-to-the-point version. Women tend to tell the story from beginning to end with every detail explained so nothing is misunderstood. When men hear us talk, they will say all they hear is blah, blah, blah.

“Tired,” if you try to be patient and use the abridged version, maybe communication will get easier with fewer repeats. – Heidi In Florida Dear Abby: There are three words men always respond to: sex, food and money – not always in that order. Use one of those words when talking to them and you’ll always get a response. – Beth In The South • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Botox offers relief for chronic migraine sufferers Dear Doctor K: I suffer from chronic migraine headaches. My doctor mentioned Botox injections as a possible treatment. Can you tell me more?

Dear Reader: I’ll bet you were surprised when you told your doctor you needed treatment for your migraines, and he or she said, “You need Botox!” After all, what does removing wrinkles have to do with headaches?

Botox can do much more than remove wrinkles. Botox – short for botulinum toxin – is a substance made by the bacteria responsible for botulism. This is a foodborne illness that causes paralysis and sometimes death.

When purified and diluted to very small concentrations, however, Botox is a safe and useful drug.

It’s an example of how a little bit of a bad thing can be good.

Botox is a muscle relaxant.

Tense muscles under the skin tug the skin and cause wrinkles, and that’s why the first use of Botox as a treatment was as a wrinkle-buster. Since then, however, many other medical conditions that are caused by tense muscles have been treated successfully with Botox.

Clinical trials have found that Botox injections reduce the frequency of headaches in people

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff with chronic migraine headaches.

In 2010, the FDA approved Botox for this purpose. But Botox treatment has been shown to be effective only for chronic migraine headaches – migraines suffered at least 15 days a month. For migraines that are less frequent than that, there is little evidence that Botox helps. Since most people who suffer from migraines do not have chronic migraines, Botox has nothing to offer them.

At the same time, Botox is not the first treatment to try for chronic migraines. It is more risky and expensive than various pills and works no better. In fact, some people with chronic migraines benefit from even simpler treatments. For example, apply a heating pad to your neck and shoulders every day. Consider massage, ultrasound or gentle stretching to relieve muscle tightness.

Something else to consider: More than half of chronic headache sufferers use painkillers frequently. After initially helping the pain, regular use of painkill-

ers can make headaches worse – it’s called “medication overuse headache.” Caffeine-containing painkillers are most often to blame.

If your headaches are complicated by medication overuse, you need to stop the drugs. Doctors say going “cold turkey” works best. But another option is to gradually wean yourself off painkillers. Cut back a little each day.

Enlist your doctor’s help with this withdrawal process.

If you decide to try Botox therapy, find a doctor who has experience doing the injections.

This treatment requires 31 injections to be given in various locations along the head, neck and shoulders. (I’ve put an illustration showing the Botox injection sites on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Be aware that Botox therapy requires repeat injections, and the benefits may last only a few months after each treatment.

Most of my patients with chronic migraines get relief from other, simpler treatments. But for some, Botox has been a boon.

I’ve straightened out, and I’m even on the school honor roll. But because of my mistakes in Indiana, my parents have me grounded. I’m not allowed to have any dates or go to any school-sponsored activities such as school sports games, club functions or dances.

Do you agree? – Nameless, Big Spring, Texas Dear Nameless: First, I think you are to be commended for getting your life straightened out! And second, I give you a big YES when it concerns your freedom.

You do deserve and need time to yourself, and I think you should be allowed to attend some of these school-related activities.

Let’s hope your parents will see it this way soon and that they will give you the trust that you have earned.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and very much in love with my boyfriend, and I was very sad when his family moved to California a few weeks ago. The day he left he told me that I was the only girl he would ever love and that he hoped we could marry some day. He said he plans to return to Tennessee when we both finish high school, and he hopes we will both still feel the same.

My best friend said that true love lasts forever and that I should wait for him. But my mother says that I should forget him and date other boys

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace for the next two years and enjoy all my high school activities.

Dr. Wallace, I have gone out with a lot of guys, but this guy is the only one for me.

Please tell me what to do. – Melissa, Nashville, Tennessee Dear Melissa: It is possible that your boyfriend will return and that you both will live happily ever after – but don’t count on it.

There is no reason that you should forget him, but while you are waiting, you should enjoy the company of other boys and have an enjoyable social life.

Dr. Wallace: I live with my grandparents. My mother died when I was born, and my father is in Mexico, but I haven’t seen him in several years. I’m 14 now, and I’d like to get a pet dog, but I’m not so sure my grandmother will let me have one. What can I do to convince my grandmother that a pet dog or cat would be a wonderful addition for our family?

– Rolando, Rio Grande City, Texas Dear Rolando: Tell your grandmother that you want a pet and that you promise to take full responsibility for it, including feeding, cleaning and caring for it. Tell her that you will train it to behave and that you are sure she will love having a pet, too.

Personally, I think every family should have a pet to love. Caring for the pet is a great experience, and the pet will bring you much joy.

• Thursday, May 21, 2015

TODAY – You are a unique and creative individual. Start doing more for yourself and less of what everyone else thinks you should do. Regaining control over your life will strengthen your character and increase your self-confidence. This is your year to put your needs first and reap the rewards.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Communicating with a distant friend or relative will remind you of your earlier goals. Revisit those ideas and start researching ways to get yourself back on track.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – It may be flattering to be the object of attention, but a charismatic con artist may be leading you on. Rumors and gossip can fuel resentment and jealousy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Proceed slowly and carefully. You are likely to miss an important detail or opportunity if you are in too much of a hurry.

Double-check your work to ensure accuracy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t let the negativity of others prevent you from getting where you want to go. You will stifle opposition if you move ahead with determination. Your success will be proof that you are right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Make plans for a solitary day. Trying to get along with others or convincing them to follow your lead will be difficult. You can get more done on your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You can make great progress by staying focused. Don’t get caught up in what others are saying or doing. If you stick to your game plan, you will come out on top.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – The benefits of assisting others will be satisfying. Your generous spirit will inspire others, and your popularity will grow. You will gain the attention of an important mentor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Someone will try to set you up for a fall. Be honest and own up to any error you make. Blaming others will make you seem untrustworthy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Romance is in the air. If you are single, this is the perfect time to meet someone special. If you are not, show how devoted you are to your loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You have control over your future. Educate yourself and make social and business connections that will give you an edge over the competition. Take charge and excel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Limit your spending. Pay down any charges that are incurring interest. Your hard work will be wasted if you can’t stick to a realistic budget. Excess and indulgence are your enemies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – An entertaining day with family and friends will cheer you up. A game or challenge will shake up your usual routine and provide you with a pleasant and humorous diversion.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Time the play to make a contract

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Hesiod, an ancient Greek poet, said, “Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.”

Right on! Many things in life require good timing: Meeting a potential spouse, a golf swing, music, and making or breaking a bridge contract.

In bridge, the order in which the cards are played often makes the difference between success and failure – as in today’s deal. How should South time four spades after West leads the heart king?

In the auction, North wasn’t thrilled to bid two spades, but he did have seven points and three-card support. South would have liked a singleton, but he had so many aces and kings that he couldn’t stop short of game.

Declarer begins by counting the losers in his hand. He has four: one spade (assuming trumps are 3-2; if they are 4-1, the contract has no chance), two hearts and one club. It is possible that clubs will be worth three tricks, but that is slightly against the odds.

Instead, South should plan to ruff his last heart in the dummy. But it requires careful timing.

Suppose declarer wins the first trick and returns a heart, West can take the trick and lead a third heart. Here, East overruffs the dummy, leads a club to his partner’s ace, and ruffs another heart, which effects an uppercut.

West gets two trump tricks for down two.

Instead, declarer should duck the first trick, win the second with his heart ace, and draw two rounds of trumps before ruffing his last heart in the dummy. Even if East could overruff, it would be with his natural trump trick.
