“This is part of the parish’s mission,” Trch said.

Susan Oppenborn, administrative assistant at Elderday, a nonprofit organization that provides day programs to seniors with dementia and other disorders, said the volunteers’ service was much appreciated.

The agency’s activity aides wipe down surfaces every day and would have done the deep cleaning after all the clients went home, but the volunteers’ work gives them a break, Oppenborn said.

“It’s very exciting,” Oppenborn said. “We always appreciate when the community offers to help us out. It’s fabulous.”

Batavia celebrates Flag Day with ice cream social, cemetery walk

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

BATAVIA – Mary Anne Garrett of North Aurora thought partaking in a bowl of ice cream was the perfect way to beat the heat Sunday.

Garrett was among those attending Sunday’s ice cream social at the Peg Bond Center in Batavia. The event was to celebrate the 99th anniversary of Flag Day and a fundraiser for the annual Fourth of July fireworks show, which is funded solely through private donations.

“You can help us by eating a lot of ice cream,” Austin Dempsey, the Batavia Fireworks Fundraising chairman, told those gathered at the social.

Flag Day has special significance for Batavia and Aurora.

Bernard J. Cigrand, the “father of Flag Day,” was a resident of Batavia and later, Aurora. He campaigned to establish a day to celebrate the adoption of the stars and stripes as the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777.

“We take great pride in this honor,” Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke told the crowd Sunday. The event kicked off

Families lined up for Sunday’s ice cream social at the Peg Bond Center in Batavia. a yearlong celebration leading up to the 100th anniversary of Flag Day next year.

Cigrand was born in 1866 in Waubeka, Wisconsin, and moved to Batavia in 1912, according to Batavia Depot Museum officials. Cigrand practiced dentistry in a house he built on South Batavia Avenue.

In 1885, he started his campaign, writing newspaper and magazine articles in support of the idea of a Flag Day. President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 issued a proclamation calling for a nationwide Flag Day observance. But it was not until 1949, 17 years after Cigrand’s death, that Congress designated June 14 as Flag Day.

Cigrand moved to Aurora in 1932 and died of a heart attack shortly afterward.

The day also featured a cemetery walk at the city’s West Side Cemetery to benefit the Batavia Arts Council and the Batavia Historical Society. Tom Van Cleave said he had fun portraying Illinois Supreme Court Justice Samuel Lockwood, a former Batavia resident.

As associate justice, Lockwood signed the first marriage license in Illinois.

“I enjoyed seeing all the people I know,” Van Cleave said. “It was also interesting learning about Samuel Lockwood.”

CLASS 3A SOFTBALL THIRD-PLACE GAME: KANELAND 7, SPRINGFIELD SACRED HEART-GRIFFIN 1

‘NOTHING TO LOSE’

Kaneland rallies to take third place in Class 3A Knights’ postseason run

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com EAST PEORIA – Newly-awarded medals swung from Kaneland softball players’ necks late Saturday morning as seven seniors, nine juniors, two sophomores and a freshman collaborated with their coaches to hoist a trophy.

“It would be nice to be playing in the other game, but it’s still great that we’ve made it here and that we got third,” Knights junior left fielder Courtney Davis said. “It’s a great accomplishment.”

If it was any consolation, Kaneland’s 7-1 victory against Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin in the Class 3A third-place game ended a few minutes before Washington defeated Marengo, 2-1, for the state title at a bustling EastSide Centre, whose officials were bent on staying ahead of stormy weather.

Mugging for photos when they weren’t embracing teammates, family and friends, the Knights arguably appeared as joyous as any other team to anyone gathered at the spacious recreation complex for anything other than softball.

“We just approached it as there’s only two teams in the state of Illinois that get to win their last game,” senior righthander Angie Morrow said, “and we wanted to be one of those two teams.”

A staunch closing outing from the Wisconsin-bound Morrow (seven innings, six hits, one run, five strikeouts, two walks) and a six-run, fifth-inning outburst propelled the Knights to the program’s first state trophy.

Kaneland (25-9) used five hits and two Griffins errors to fuel the fifth-inning outburst, which saw seven straight Knights reach base with one out.

Beginning the game at 9 a.m., one hour earlier than originally scheduled, the Knights admittedly took their

Kaneland outfielder Aly Jesionowski struggles briefly with the team’s Class 3A third-place trophy Saturday while preparing for pictures. The Knights topped Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin, 7-1, in East Peoria. time in adjusting to SHG junior right-hander Whitney David’s off-speed array.

“She was a little slower than we were used to in the postseason, so it took … a bit to really get on her,” Davis said. “But we waited on her. The umpire had a smaller zone, so we kind of just worked toward that, so once we got on her, we started getting those hits.”

SHG (34-8) summoned Bailey Morrow to relieve David

in the middle of the rally, but to no avail.

Bailey Morrow is of no relation to Angie Morrow, but given the Knights’ giddiness after the game, they might have entertained prospects of welcoming her to the extended family.

“This is just a great team, and I’m really sad to see the seniors go, but we came out with a bang, definitely,” junior center fielder Rachel Goress said. “With the fifth

seed in the [sectional], we really showed them who we are.”

Making the second state appearance in school history and the first since 2000, Kaneland’s run has yet to sway interim coach Peter Goff, the school’s athletic director who grinned while maintaining, “This is a one-year thing.”

Goff will be in the rare position of searching for his replacement on the heels of a banner season.

Whether assistant Mike Kuefler might be elevated to the position remains to be seen, but the father of senior lynchpin and catcher Paige Kuefler knows he’s not leaving the program either way. “’You know what, I’m going to stay a Kaneland Knight as long as they’ll let me stay a Kaneland Knight,” he said.

Kaneland was held hitless until junior third baseman Meg Cohrs smacked the first of her three singles with one out in the fourth inning. She later added an RBI. Sophomore shortstop Morgan Weber’s run-scoring double in the fifth was the team’s lone extra-base hit.

Even Morrow, batting in a game for only the second time this spring, joined in the act, following Aly Jesionowski’s rally-starting single in the fifth with a hit of her own.

Morrow volunteered to hit as Goress, who pinched the rotator cuff in her left, non-throwing shoulder early in Friday’s 2-1 semifinal loss to Marengo, determined she would best serve the team with her defense.

Knights did not strike 5 Role players trade points for glory out in third-place game STANLEY CUP FINAL – GAME 6: TAMPA BAY AT HAWKS, 7 P.M. TODAY, NBC

June 3: Hawks 2, Tampa Bay 1 June 6: Tampa Bay 4, Hawks 3 June 8: Tampa Bay 3, Hawks 2 Wednesday: Hawks 2, Tampa Bay 1 Saturday: Hawks 2, Tampa Bay 1 Today: Tampa Bay at Hawks, 7 p.m. x-Wednesday: Hawks at Tampa Bay, 7 p.m.

x – if necessary back to the Hawks in November of 2013, he found himself bouncing around from the top line to the fourth line, on and off the power play, in and out of the penalty kill. Whatever role he got, he never complained.

In November of this season, he was one of the most prolific players in the league, with six goals and 13 assists in a 14-game span.

But he was a healthy scratch for the entire second round, and six of seven games in the third round, before getting another chance in the Stanley Cup Final, replacing an injured and ineffective Bryan Bickell.

In Game 5, he was the best forward on the ice, his big rush leading to Vermette’s game-winning goal for the reconfigured third line.

“We’ve got a lot of depth on our team, and a lot of guys that have played some pretty good hockey in their careers, like [Vermette],” Versteeg said. “And [Teuvo] Teravainen is on the rise. It was exciting to be part of that line [Saturday], and hopefully we can keep it going.”

For Vermette, it was harder to accept at first. He was the biggest rental forward available at the trade deadline, and the Hawks gave up a first-round pick and prospect Klas Dahlbeck to get him.

Then Hawks’ coach Joel Quenneville promptly moved him to wing and played him 12 to 15 minutes a night.

Vermette didn’t score a sin-

• KNIGHTS Continued from page 4 Cohrs playfully chided Morrow after a first-inning groundout to shortstop. After doubling in her only other at-bat during last month’s senior night shutout of Genoa-Kingston, Morrow ensured she wouldn’t bat 1.000 in her final prep season.

“I had nothing to lose, so I was just going up there and going for a hit,” Morrow said.

The rest of the Knights followed suit. Despite the early struggles against David, the team did not strike out in the game after fanning just three times Friday.

“The thing is … we were making contact, and if you make contact, sooner or later, you’re going to get it,” Goff said. “And you know what, we did.”

Kaneland looked forward to a warm reception upon returning home. This week-

end, the team stayed in Pekin, about 20 minutes south of East Peoria, and enjoyed the solitude from state tournament central.

After Friday’s game, the team dressed up to dine at the Pekin Avanti’s, a central Illinois chain of Italian restaurants.

“It was unbelievable, the transformation,” Goff said.

“You’d never know that we just lost a semifinal game, 2-1.”

Davis called the outing “one last hurrah.”

Well, at least before the Knights kept swinging in their 2015 diamond finale.

“Yesterday was a tough loss, but I think we came back really well,” Cohrs said.

“I mean, we were flat, but then we had that inning and we started hitting. It’s huge.

It’s probably going to stand in our school for a really long time, the ... team to go (deepest) downstate. It’s awesome.”

Hawks 3, Tampa Bay 2

gle goal in 19 regular-season games. He was even a healthy scratch in Game 3 of the Western Conference final.

The next game, he scored the game-winner in double-overtime against Anaheim. He had the game-winner in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. Then he had another Saturday night in Game 5.

“In the beginning, he tried to understand the system,” Hossa said. “I think after some time, he got the role and he grew in that role unbelievably, and he’s scoring huge goals for us. I’m feeling great for him.”

The Hawks are deeper that most, and they play a structured, defense-first system that’s particularly demanding of centers. It just took time to adjust.

“Vermy was a top guy in Phoenix, he played top minutes,” Versteeg said. “And when you come here, it’s an adjustment. Your minutes are going to be cut down, and you’ve got to adjust to the system and adjust to a different playing style and the different minutes you’re playing.”

Even Sharp, who was the Hawks’ most consistently productive forward in their previous two Stanley Cup runs, has had to sacrifice this spring. His goal in Game 5 was his first in 41 days, since Game 2 against Minnesota.

The guy who goes by the name “Shooter” spent most of the postseason as the defensive muscle on a line with Vermette and Teravainen, until he was finally reunited with Toews and Hossa during the Final.

For a veteran with 43 career playoff goals, it could have been frustrating. He could have raised a stink about it.

But if Sharp was bitter about his altered role, he never showed it.

Because scoring goals is fun. Playing a lot of minutes is fun, too. But winning is more fun than anything else.

“You hear Joel say all the time, ‘We don’t care where the goals come from,’ ” Sharp said. “That’s an honest quote. … Whatever my role is on the team, I’m just going to try to do it the best I can.”

Recovery is everywhere.

Antoine Vermette was a top-line center in Arizona; he’s been a third-liner with the Hawks.

Brad Richards was a topline center nearly his whole career; he’s a second-liner with the Hawks.

Kris Versteeg was a top-line winger in Florida; he’s been a healthy scratch for much of the postseason. Patrick Sharp was the Blackhawks’ leading scorer just last year; he’s been a third-liner for most of the season. Andrew Shaw scored 20 goals last season as a center; he’s been a checking-line winger for months now.

On another team, maybe Marcus Kruger has a more offensive role. On another team, maybe Teuvo Teravainen is playing 20 minutes a night already. On nearly any other team, any of these guys might have bigger roles, more minutes, higher point totals.

But on nearly any other team, they wouldn’t be playing in mid-June. They wouldn’t be on the verge of a Stanley Cup. “We, not me” is the ultimate sports cliché. But with guys like Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa in the way, if you want to play with the Hawks, if you want to contend every season, it’s just the way it is.

“Me and [Vermette and Richards] have talked quite a bit about how it’s a different role when you come here and play,” Versteeg said after Saturday’s 2-1 victory set the stage for a potential Cup-clinching Game 6 at the United Center tonight.

“You’ve got to understand that. You’ve got to understand the situation you’re in.

You might not be where you’d be on other teams. You’ve got to play the best with the ice time you’re given and try to contribute.”

Versteeg knows this well.

After winning the Stanley Cup with the Hawks in 2010, his second full season in the NHL, he played a prominent role in Toronto, Philadelphia and Florida. When he came

When you say you consume two “generous” drinks a day, I can’t help but wonder how generous and what you’re using to measure. While you may have been able to drink two generous drinks when you were younger with no negative effects, as folks get older (and 74 would qualify as older), they don’t metabolize alcohol as well.

One of the signs of problem drinking is when it starts to cause problems with others.

Another is belligerence, and if that’s the way you become as you listen to your news programs, you can’t blame your wife for being upset. And as to the endearments you utter while under the influence – while they may be sweet, take it from me that women much prefer to hear them from men who are sober.

check with Zoe to see if she’s OK and her contact information is correct. Then send Zoe a written message explaining that because she hasn’t responded to your previous messages, you and your fiancé assume she won’t be participating in the pre-wedding activities and would prefer not to be one of your bridesmaids.

Say you both hope she will attend the wedding as a guest and send her an invitation. If she accepts – fine. However, if you don’t hear from her, take her off the list.

Dear Abby: I feel that the longer you go to the same hairdresser, the more she takes you for granted. The service gets worse.

My wife becomes somewhat annoyed because I get loose with my opinions and comments because of the alcohol. She wants me to quit drinking every night before dinner.

Answers to Puzzle

Do not win a trick twice

SOLUTION

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Will Rogers said, “Get someone else to blow your horn, and the sound will carry twice as far.”

In bridge, it is impossible to win a trick twice, but sometimes a card could take a trick in more than one way. Then, it is usually important to capture the right trick – as in this deal.

Cover the West and South hands. East is defending against four hearts. West leads the diamond ace. How should East plan the defense?

In the old days, North would have responded two no-trump, showing a balanced hand with 13-15 points and fewer than four hearts. Now, though, most pairs use the Jacoby Two No-trump response, indicating game-going values with four-card heart support. Some pairs would respond three no-trump, but it is better to restrict that to 3-3-4-3 or 3-3-3-4 distribution, offering the opener a choice of games. Also, note South’s three-club raise. With two low spades, that is a much better rebid than two no-trump.

An East who plays on autopilot would drop the diamond eight at trick one, starting a high-low with his doubleton. West would then cash his diamond king and give his partner a diamond ruff.

But that would be the end of the defense. South would draw trumps and discard his spade loser on either dummy’s diamond queen or the fourth club.

East has a guaranteed trump trick – he does not need the ruff.

At trick one, he should drop his diamond deuce. Then, if West immediately shifts to a spade (or after cashing the diamond king), the contract will be defeated. And given South’s club raise, West would surely find that play.
