Missing Campton Hills teen found safe By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A days-long search for a Campton Hills teen ended Tuesday morning when she was found, safe and sound, at a friend’s house in St. Charles. Her father, Jason Czajkowski, said he and his wife never imagined the community would rally behind them the way it did. “My wife and I are grateful for the overwhelming support that we received from the community to bring her home safely,” he said. Emily Czajkowski’s whereabouts had been the St. Charles Police Department’s priority since she was last seen the evening of July 22, Deputy Police Chief Steve Huffman said. Huffman said the search for the 14-year-old was a department effort that included “pretty much everybody” in addition to assistance from the Campton Hills, Geneva and Batavia police departments, the Kane County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Mar-

walk will start at 10 a.m. Individuals, friends and families are invited to participate.

BATAVIA

West Town redevelopment project to cost $20.9M Batavia aldermen recommend public hearing for proposed TIF district By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – It would cost an estimated $20.9 million to redevelop the city’s West Town area. The West Town area is centered at the intersection of Main Street and Mallory Avenue, and extends about two blocks north and south. Batavia aldermen at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting reviewed a tax increment financing redevelop-

ment project and plan Teska Associates Inc. prepared for the city’s West Town area. That $20.9 million estimate includes the cost of such things as demolition of buildings and site improvements, the repair or remodeling of existing public or private buildings and fixtures, street repair or reconstruction, environmental remediation, infrastructure improvements and development financing costs. Teska’s report affirmed

eligibility study findings indicating the area meets statutory requirements for designation as a conservation tax increment financing district. Under that designation, at least 50 percent of the area’s buildings must be at least 35 years old. Other conditions that make the area qualify as a conservation district include deteriorating buildings, structures below minimum code standards and a decline in equalized assessed value. Once a municipality creates a TIF, its property assessment is frozen, and new or increased taxes generated by improvements are used to pay for improvements or

other development incentives. According to Teska’s report, upon the completion of anticipated redevelopment projects, it is estimated the equalized assessed valuation of real property within the redevelopment project area will be in excess of $25 million, about a 585 percent increase in the total equalized assessed valuation of the West Town redevelopment project area. The TIF would be in force for 23 years. Aldermen at Tuesday’s meeting unanimously recommended the city hold a public hearing on the proposed TIF district. “I think it is an important step to try to get something to happen there,” 2nd Ward

Alderman Alan Wolff said, in talking about the proposed TIF district. Batavia City Administrator Bill McGrath said the city doesn’t want to force any existing businesses to move. The area is comprised of industries still in operation and abandoned buildings, such as a vacant gas station. Master Cast, which supplies permanent mold aluminum castings, was at the southeast corner of Mallory Avenue and First Street. The building was demolished after being heavily damaged in a fire last year. The West Town area also is comprised of homes and The Elms restaurant.

Auditions are scheduled for Aug. 30 (or by appointment) at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 420 W. Downer Place, Aurora. To schedule an audition time, parents of interest-

ed students should contact the FVAMP at 630-476-9072 or Info@FVacademy.org. The Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance is a nonprofit community organization that

includes the Academy Orchestra, Youth Strings Orchestra and Access to Music program. For information, visit www. FVacademy.org.

LOCAL BRIEF Auditions held at Academy to become members of the academy for its 2015-16 of Music Performance AURORA – The Fox Valley Academy of Music Performance invites student-musicians, ages 7 to 18, to audition

season. Strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion players should prepare a brief solo and scales for the audition.

Continued from page 1 Pottawatomie Community Center on July 22 but are not disclosing the reason, Huffman said, reiterating it is a “private family matter at this point.” “The important thing is she wasn’t a victim of any crime,” he said. Campton Hills resident Amy Santoro helped distribute fliers and established the Facebook page “Help find Emily Czajkowski.” The page got about 17,000 followers and reached almost 1 million people, she said. She posted the teen was found safe after receiving a private message from the family, she said. “The responses are pouring in, and it’s pretty remarkable,” Santoro said Tuesday morning. There are “17,000-plus happy people at the moment.” Others, however, voiced frustration on Facebook. Many were upset by all the resources used to find a teen who was ultimately found safe at a friend’s house.

By Tuesday afternoon, Burger’s downtown St. Charles shop had replaced the “missing” posters in his windows with a “Welcome Home Emily!” sign. “What a great community,” he said. “And the women of St. Charles, what a powerful group. They formed an army and got it done.” St. Charles resident Sally Smith, along with Sugar Grove resident Kelly McCarty, led the effort to cover several areas of Kane County with purple and yellow ribbons to support Emily Czajkowski. Smith was just about to leave her home Tuesday morning when she saw reports on social media confirming the teen was reunited with her parents. “[Emily Czajkowski] needs to be with her family now, and they need to heal from this,” Smith said. “Most importantly, Emily needs to know that we all care, and we’re all thrilled she’s home.”

The award was created in memory of Ebey, who was murdered in his Aurora Township home in 2007. Cole Rutter was honored for his efforts to raise awareness about neurofibromatosis, as well as raising money for such organizations as

the Children’s Tumor Foundation. According to the foundation, NF affects one in every 3,000 people. In the face of his ongoing battle with neurofibromatosis, Cole Rutter continues to take part in sports. Along with baseball, he also participates in cross-country. “It helps me stay in shape,” he said. He recently attended a summer camp organized by the Children’s Tumor Foundation for those diagnosed with NF. Information about the Children’s Tumor Foundation is available by going to its website, www.ctf.org.

No injuries in fire Monday near St. Charles editorial@kcchronicle.com A fire Monday afternoon in the 39W700 block of Carl Sandberg Road near St. Charles resulted in an estimated $100,000 worth of damage to a home and its contents, according to a release from the Fox River and Countryside Fire/Rescue District. About 2:30 p.m. Monday, firefighters were dispatched for a reported structure fire with heavy black smoke coming from a garage. Upon arrival, crews found a large, two-story, single-family home with heavy smoke coming from the garage and house windows, the release stated. The fire was then upgraded to a box alarm because of the size of the home and visible size-up information, according to the release.

A large fire was found in the garage, extending into the house, with smoke conditions noted throughout, the release stated. Fire suppression activities occurred in 90-degree and higher outside temperatures. The fire was brought under control by 3 p.m. No injuries were reported, although neighbors noted a dog and cat to be in the house. “Both were located, with the dog brought outside,” the release stated. “[The] cat was observed hiding and unable to be removed immediately.” The fire is under investigation. Emergency personnel from South Elgin, Elgin, Elburn, Burlington and Hanover Park provided support on the scene. Campton Hills police assisted with traffic control.

The Geneva woman charged in a foiled Valentine’s Day shooting plot soon should learn when her trial will start in Canada. Lindsay K. Souvannarath and Canadian Randall S. Shepherd are due in court Aug. 6 to set a date for their trial, Chris Hansen, the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service communications director, confirmed by email. They have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit arson, conspiracy to use weapons for a dangerous purpose and unlawfully conveying threats through social

media. The charges stemmed from a foiled Feb. 14 plot to kill citizens at the Halifax Shopping Centre in Canada, authorities have said. Hansen confirmed their preliminary inquiry ended Thursday. In Canada, a preliminary inquiry is held Lindsay K. “to determine Souvannarath w h e t h e r t h e Crown has enough evidence to go to trial,” according to www.novascotia.ca. “The preliminary inquiry also gives the accused a chance to see and hear the Crown’s evidence.”

The pair sat through the preliminary inquiry together and will be tried together, Hansen wrote. “But ‘together’ means only that they’re in the same court room,” Hansen wrote. “They each have their own counsel.” Although the preliminary inquiry was in provincial court, Hansen wrote their trial will be in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court – the highest court where trials are held. The trial will be heard by a judge and 12-member jury, Hansen wrote, noting 14 jurors are usually chosen in the event an alternate is needed. Souvannarath and Shepherd – who were respectively 23 and 20 at the time of their arrest – are being held on remand at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility, Hansen wrote, likening the facility to a state-run jail in the U.S.

Voluntary electric load reduction program offered GENEVA – Geneva residents can provide some relief to the city’s electric operations, and their own utility bills, by reducing power consumption for a few hours in the after-

noon. Geneva offers a voluntary electric load reduction program by alerting residents via Twitter and Geneva’s website, www. geneva.il.us. The Twitter account to follow is @CityofGeneva. The benefits of reducing energy during peak hours of the day contributes to making Geneva a greener community and keeping future electric costs down, a news release stated. After an alert has been issued, the easiest ways customers can reduce electric use is by turning up their thermostats for a few hours, running major appliances later in the evening and turning off unused lights, the release stated. During an average summer, the city will issue about 20 alerts to customers. For information, visit Geneva’s Website or call the Public Works Department Electric Division at 630-232-1503.

SUGAR GROVE

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com

Entertainment Management sued the legion the following month. “Post 1271’s use of a terminal operator other than GEM would be in direct violation and breach of the exclusive location agreement,” according to the lawsuit. Coghlan cited a portion of the agreement, which states that the terminal operator “may not assign and/or transfer this agreement and its rights and/or obligations … except to another licensed terminal operator or as may be permitted by the Video Gaming Law.” “There are no provisions of the Illinois Video Gaming Act or the rules and regulations as set forth by the Illinois Gaming Board that would have allowed for the assignment,” according to Coghlan’s response. “At the time of the assignment of this contract, Twin Oaks was prohibited by the very terms of the contract it drafted from assigning the agreement to any unlicensed terminal operator.” The Gaming And Enter-

tainment lawsuit, however, argued that its contract with the legion was a “precursor agreement” which was part of the license application process, and therefore legal and binding. “The Illinois Gaming Board recognizes that there is nothing improper or invalid about such agreements, which are not use agreements, but will become use agreements, once the parties are licensed,” according to the plaintiffs in court papers. The suit seeks to reinstate its gaming devices at the legion post, as well as compen-

satory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs – but does not name a specific amount being sought. Attorneys for the gaming device operators did not return a message seeking comment. The devices’ operators and the establishment each would receive a portion of the proceeds, along with the municipality and the state. “The post is never going to have that money,” Coghlan said. “They spend 100 percent on local charitable items. You can only have so many fish fries.”

SUGAR GROVE – Video gambling became legal in Illinois in 2009, but it still took until 2012 for the machines to go “live.” Sugar Grove American Legion Post 1271 signed a five-year contract with Twin Oaks Music in 2010, giving it exclusive rights to put its gaming machines at the post, at 65 First St., Sugar Grove. The legion is now embroiled in a lawsuit because it chose another gaming machine provider. While Kane County Judge David Akemann ruled in favor of the gaming company earlier this month, legion attorney Michael Coghlan filed court papers asking him to reconsider. “We are asking the judge to reconsider the ruling and throw the GEM contract out because they were not licensed at the time,” Coghlan said. Both sides are to appear Aug. 12 in Kane County Court in Geneva.

If Akemann does not change his ruling, Coghlan said, “the legion plans to stay open for operation, and we’ll try to work out a settlement.” A lawsuit, filed in 2013 by Gaming And Entertainment Management and Illinois Gaming Investments, claims the legion violated the contract by choosing another video gaming provider. Twin Oaks had assigned the contract to Illinois Gaming Investments LLC, which sold the agreement to Gaming and Entertainment Management – Illinoisw LLC. In court papers, Coghlan argued that neither the legion, nor the gaming machine operators were licensed at the time of the contract, so it was not valid. The state later licensed both the gaming machine operators and the post in 2013, according to the lawsuit. According to the Illinois Gaming Board website, Accel Entertainment Gaming LLC began providing gaming machine services for the Sugar Grove Legion on April 10, 2013. Gaming And

ANOTHER VIEW

One small step for the Smithsonian, one giant leap for its fundraising THE WASHINGTON POST Houston, the Smithsonian has a problem — or at least it did. Its National Air and Space Museum wanted to display Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 spacesuit in July 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, but traditional fundraising methods had not proved adequate to support the project. In response, a museum complex founded in the 19th century took a 21st- century tack: It launched an online campaign to crowdfund the endeavor. The Smithsonian’s campaign, which met its goal with ease, was a forward-thinking way to sweep the dust out of “America’s attic.” We hope to see more like it. The “Reboot the Suit” Kickstarter met its monthlong $500,000 goal within a week. Now it is aiming for $200,000 more. At the same time, D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton is fighting in Congress for a bill to change the Smithsonian’s governance structure, also to enable increased fundraising. The proposed legislation, now before a House committee, would remove public officials, such as the vice president and the chief justice, from the Smithsonian’s board of regents and replace them with private citizens whose positions don’t impede them from soliciting donations. The bill is not new; Ms. Norton introduces some version of it every Congress. It always fails. It’s clear the Smithso-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

nian needs money. About 70 percent of its funding comes from federal appropriations, but that goes mostly toward salaries, construction and maintenance. For the rest, the Smithsonian relies on business and philanthropy, and lately those sources have not been enough. The institution has to find a way to fill the budget gap, and online crowdfunding looks like the most viable option given the perennial opposition to Ms. Norton’s bill and the remarkable success of “Reboot the Suit.” It also is the most exciting. Ms. Norton’s proposed changes to the Smithsonian board would put wealthy citizens at the institute’s helm and encourage them to tap other rich individuals for funds. Such a move would probably yield a more generous cash flow. But there is something more compelling about a campaign that galvanizes people from all over the country to contribute all sorts of amounts – from just $1 to more than $10,000. And, while Ms. Norton said her bill will “modernize” the Smithsonian’s fundraising infrastructure, what is more modern than a campaign that harnesses the power of the Internet to do what old methods could not? The Smithsonian museums have always belonged to the American public, which is why charging an entrance fee has never made sense. Online campaigns reflect the institution’s role as a museum and research system of the people by relying on today’s citizens to exhibit more of their past.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Get it done

To the Editor: For those of us that have been watching the circus in Springfield – enough is enough. Cut and balance the budget and pass pension reform that is constitutional. And, yes, everyone – and I mean everyone – has to pay and sacrifice for what we the voters have allowed to happen. When this is done, then on to a constitutional amendment establishing term limits for all elected officials – state, local and township – and amending the constitutional pension provision. We can no longer take partisan politics from lifetime elected officials. Special interest groups have bought and sold all politicians, and we let it happen. We need to cut the state and local government budgets now, with the least amount of pain. What can be done:

1. Take 5 percent off the budget for every department. We need zero-based budgeting that actually works. 2. After the cuts – balance the budget and freeze all state and local government spending. 3. Eliminate all government entertainment and meal expenses; eliminate all hotel expenses for any government elected official, consultant or employee; eliminate all limo and driver services for all elected officials and employees, other than the governor; stop the use of consultants, especially those that were former government employees or elected officials; eliminate paying for all lobbyists for any level of government; and no more contract buy-outs for any government official or employee, and make sure the government can terminate the contracts. 4. Freeze all government real estate purchases and leasing.

5. The concept of government spending must change. Just because there is a budget surplus doesn’t mean it must be spent – save it. 6. Start running each level of government as if it were a business. If you don’t have the money for the program, figure out how you will pay for it and don’t pay for it by borrowing. 7. Let’s start running government on a “worst-case scenario” basis and stop believing money grows on trees or that we will find a windfall that will solve all of our financial problems. Enough magical finance thinking. The bottom line is, this crisis is both a Democrat and Republican crisis – the only way it will be addressed is for both parties to work together and find a compromise. Will it be perfect? No. Will it hurt? Yes. Let’s split the difference and GET IT DONE! Chuck Barr St. Charles

Knights look to build on strong season

Kaneland girls soccer coach Scott Parillo presided over one of his best seasons, boys or girls, in 2015. By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com The Kaneland girls soccer team headed into this offseason after the best season in program history. A trip to the Class 2A Supersectional for the first time in school history also provided valuable experience for a number of returning players. But that was last season, and coach Scott Parillo knows that it was fun to be one of the final eight teams in the state, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t guarantee anything. “There’s no guarantee,” Parillo said, a phrase he repeated a number of times. “We are using the words ‘cautiously optimistic’ because it’s a very tough thing to try and repeat. The girls are very excited after seeing what they are capable of, but it’s not like we get a free pass back there. It starts with staying healthy and having

fun, and we’ll see what happens from there.” It will help that Kaneland returns 15 players from a 19-4 squad. Those players include one of their top goalscorers in Kiandra Powell, as well as defender Gabby Cano and goalkeeper Emily Chapman. Cano, an incoming senior and member of the 2015 Kane County Chronicle All-Area First Team, was part of a Kaneland back line that had 16 games in which the Knights either shut out or allowed only one goal to their opponent. That included a seven-game shutout streak in which the Knights outscored their opponents, 26-0. Knowing that a strong group of seniors are back, including Chapman, is something Cano sees as a big advantage coming into next season. “As seniors, we all want to leave our mark,” Cano said. “Knowing we have Emily,

who is a great goalkeeper and leader is awesome. We have a really great group of seniors that have a very tight bond, both on and off the field. I think there is definitely that level of excitement to try and do it again, but it all starts with hard work.” But one thing that last year’s run does guarantee is what the team learned before it was ousted by Peoria Notre Dame, 4-1, in the DeKalb Supersectional. It showed the girls what they were capable of. It showed them it was possible because up until this point, it wasn’t possible ... for any Kaneland girls team. But, now, the Knights know what it takes and have the excitement to prove last year was no fluke. “We know it’s possible now,” Powell said. “We have more confidence heading into this season than we did last. That can only be a positive thing ... you know? We don’t

think it’s going to be easy or anything, but we know what it’s going to take to get back there or even further.” Even further would be another first for a program seeking its first appearance in the state tournament. But each season will technically start with a new group at the summer camps. Although they aren’t always able to put together a full squad with girls at travel team tournaments and such, Parillo also coaches the Kaneland boys team and has paired the camps together. Cano admitted that the boys team has a much faster pace of play, but also said she enjoys it because it helps the girls improve. The preseason training may officially begin much closer to the spring, but before the Knights know it, the season will be in full gear. “I don’t think we realize how fast it comes up on us,” Cano said. “Before we know

it, it’s here. So I think playing with club and getting the time we can together at these camps is an added bonus. “But Iw also think it helps to not always be around each other and be on different club teams. It gives us a different perspective and a chance to step away and work on things to improve. By the time we come back together as a group, the goal is always to be better than the last time we met.” One thing will not change from last year’s run, and that’s Parillo’s motto to have fun. He let the girls take the field and just play. “Just go have fun,” he would tell them, and it made a difference and will be something he will carry into coaching the girls come spring. “We hope to make another run ... there’s no doubting that,” Parillo said. “But as long as the girls have fun, that’s all that matters to me.”

Joe Conroy, 50, whose recent coaching stops include Woodstock and Woodstock North, was approved as Kaneland’s new boys basketball coach Monday. Kaneland’s career and technical education faculty. He often attended Knights games under predecessor Brian Johnson, who was 99-68 in six seasons, but did not know many Kaneland players outside of what he saw on those nights. In June, when the West Aurora School Board approved Johnson as the successor to the legendary Gordie Kerk-

man at Johnson’s alma mater, Conroy quickly established his interest in the new Kaneland opening. “Joe will do a great job,” Kaneland athletic director Peter Goff said. “He’s following a very successful coach here in Brian Johnson and I think Joe, with the experience that he has, I think our program will grow in a very good way.”

Knowing he was competing with a qualified field of internal and external candidates, albeit in a tight hiring window, Conroy operated with confidence. A DeKalb resident, he traveled to monitor the Knights at the Geneva Summer League, approaching the bench only at the end of games to powwow with Johnson’s former assis-

KANELAND SOFTBALL

‘Very knowledgeable’ Kuefler takes coaching reins By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Posing for photos with the Class 3A third-place softball trophy in June, several Kaneland athletes pictured assistant Mike Kuefler as their coach in waiting. Kuefler didn’t completely follow suit, taking nothing for granted until this week, when the Kaneland school board approved his candidacy to replace Peter Goff, who’ll remain as the school’s athletic director. “It’s always been a goal, eventually, to have my own program,” Kuefler said Tuesday. “I’m very fortunate that

I got to stay and have that program be Kaneland. … It wasn’t written on the wall, but I was always hoping that I could eventually take this program over.” Goff, long persistent that his interim stint would last only for the 2015 season, called Kuefler the “nuts and bolts” of a 25-9 run that culminated with the program’s first state tournament trip since 2000. “He is very knowledgeable, has a very good work ethic, and I’m just very excited for him,” Goff said. “I feel blessed that I was able to have that year with him to be able to see what kind of coach he

was and get to know him well. And I feel like the program is in really good hands.” In his fifth season as a Knights assistant, Kuefler guided the outfielders while Goff worked more closely with the infielders, including Kuefler’s daughter, Paige, Kaneland’s catcher and the 2015 Kane County Chronicle Softball Player of the Year. Although Paige Kuefler and batterymate Angie Morrow, a Wisconsin-bound right-hander, are among the program’s recent graduates, Kaneland also will return plenty of talent in 2016, namely slugging senior third baseman Meg Cohrs.

“The program’s got a pretty good history of winning and being competitive, and I just hope to carry that on and continue it. … I don’t know how much I’ll really change,” Mike Kuefler said. “We’ve got a great group of girls, we’ve got a great group of young ladies coming up, underclassmen, for years to come. We’ve got a great winning tradition, and I intend to carry that on.” Kuefler and his wife, Dawn, have lived in the Kaneland community for more than two decades. Jed Kuefler, a Knights sophomore baseball player, is the third of the couple’s children to attend the high school.

Mike Kuefler, who also boasts an extensive travel coaching resume with the Kane County Xplosion, said he is grateful for the support from fellow parents, colleagues and Goff, from whom he learned a number of administrative and strategic maneuvers last season. “It doesn’t matter how many people you coach with or who you coach with,” Kuefler said. “If you can pick up something throughout the time you spend with another coach, then you’re doing your job and you’re doing what you’re supposed to do as far as learning and growing as a coach.”

Joe Conroy learned of his approval as the next Kaneland boys basketball coach while visiting his brother on Florida’s gulf coast Monday night. “The driving force side of me wants to get at it and already have meetings,” Conroy said by phone Tuesday, “but the one nice thing is I had this vacation planned for awhile, so it’ll allow me to still reach out to people, but they can first gather their thoughts as we move toward November.” Considering Conroy’s preferred frenetic style, perhaps that extra lead time is for the best. The 50-year-old coaching veteran, who sandwiched stints as a collegiate women’s assistant at Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Northern Illinois and Eastern Illinois around boys head coaching jobs at Woodstock and Woodstock North in the late 2000s, isn’t shy about his love of up-tempo basketball. “The harder you play, the more kids you can get involved,” Conroy said. “And I think kids really like that style.” Conroy recently completed his first year as a member of

tants he now expects to be his own. “When I was going to the games, I definitely told them that if I was afforded the opportunity I would hope they would want to stay in the program and continue to do the great things they had been doing,” Conroy said. Years ago, Conroy actually encountered his new boss as a sideline adversary. Goff is a former Sterling coach whose team once lost to Conroy and Co. at the United Center. “Which still pains me,” Goff laughed. Ultimately, Conroy returned to the college game when longtime colleague Kathi Bennett offered an opportunity to join her staff at NIU. Bennett, who in April resigned as NIU women’s coach after five seasons, remains in touch with Conroy. A mentor from the early days of Conroy’s sideline career also is in contact. Before reaching his brother in Tampa, Florida, this week, Conroy stopped north of Orlando to visit Don Carlson, his high school coach at Peru St. Bede. “It’s always nice to catch up,” Conroy said. “I’ve continued to ‘grind away,’ as he calls it.”

COUGARS

Mondays won’t be dog days down By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Alliterative or rhyming nicknames abound in the Cougars’ promotional schedule, nearly touching ‘em all when it comes to days of the week. Monday, however, doesn’t quite boast the glitziest moniker, likely appeasing pop culture figures such as Garfield and The Bangles. One reason no doubt stems from the scheduling quirk the Cougars entered this week. Monday marked the first of four consecutive scheduled Mondays off for the Cougars, who lead the Midwest League’s Western Division second-half race and welcome the respite, for the most part. “I mean, it can be good or bad,” Cougars second baseman Cody Regis said. “It obviously depends on how you feel, how you’re playing. I think, personally, it was nice to step away. I’ve kind of been struggling a little bit at the plate lately, so it was kind of nice to just step away. But at the same time, you want to get back at it and continue playing.” Right-hander Brad Keller’s latest sharp outing and a ninehit attack sparked the Cougars to a 5-1 win against Burlington on Tuesday. The victory improved the Cougars’ record after an off day to 7-5. They are 24-8 in the second half and 60-40 overall. The three, uh, moribund Mondays are the club’s lone remaining open dates in the regular season. No team activities – not even light morning workouts – are planned. “At this point in the season, with the workload, we’ve got to be smart about trying to keep our guys fresh for the game,” hitting coach Vince Harrison said. “Guys have got routines and we’re looking at six weeks left in the season. We want to make sure the guys are staying sharp, so off days are off days, and well-deserved. Especially at this point in the year.” Armed with 12 players 23 or over, the Cougars nonetheless battle the rigors of what is, for many, the first full profession-

al season for a majority of the clubhouse. Bus mileage, per diems and hotel stays accumulate, much like batting averages and ERAs. “This is that time of year where you’ve got to get that second wind sometime soon and just keep going,” Regis said. “Obviously, it’s going to affect everyone. It’s the same schedule, the same amount of games [140] for every team. So it’s all about how mentally tough you guys are as a team and how you can come together and work through it.” Cougars manager Mark Grudezielanek took one measure toward the latter end before the game, calling a team meeting in a bid to reinvigorate the Cougars and remind them the hot start to open the second half wouldn’t sustain itself. Entering Tuesday, the Cougars had lost five of seven, including three straight at Peoria, their nearest Western Division challenger. “Obviously, we didn’t have the outcome of the series that we were looking for, that we wanted, but at the same time, it kind of leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, too, that you’ve got to wait until the last series of the season to play them again,” Regis said. “I think you definitely want to get back at them as quick as you can, but obviously the schedule is what it is, so you’ve got to just do what you can do.” As Regis indicated, the Cougars and Chiefs won’t renew acquaintances again until Peoria visits Fifth Third Bank Ballpark from Sept. 5 to 7. Both clubs will have a much firmer grasp on the playoff outlook by then. Ideally, the upcoming string of open Mondays will keep the stretch run moving smoothly. “A lot of this game is mental, anyway,” Harrison said. “It just gives guys a reason to dig deeper and push knowing that we’re going to play six games and we’re going to get a whole day off. Then it’s a day to recover, enjoy the day, get ready for the next day.” Nothing to do on a Monday? Garfield, eat your heart out.

Scara close to family with Binghamton commitment 1840 S. Mill St. Batavia 630.389.9605

Batavia goalkeeper Jenny Scara goes for a ball in a game against St. Charles East last season. Scara, an incoming junior, recently committed to Division-1 Binghamton University in New York. By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com Everything kind of clicked for Batavia girls soccer goalkeeper Jenny Scara. An NCAA Division I offer to play the sport she loves, as well as a spot in college close to family on the East Coast. On Monday, Scara, a Bulldogs junior, committed to Binghamton University in New York to play soccer. “I have a lot of family out there,” Scara said. “It’s just my [immediate] family that lives here, so that was a huge plus. Knowing that I had family close if I ever needed anything was also great. I also knew that if I wasn’t going there to play soccer, I would still love the school and environment and that kind of sold me.” After seeing her play for Batavia, first at practice and then during the Bulldogs’ 2015 run in the Lake Park Invite, the Binghamton coaches wanted Scara to come for a visit. It worked out to where her family’s Fourth of July vacation plans were to see family just two hours from campus. So the visit was set. “I didn’t want to get my hopes up,” Scara said of a potential offer during the visit. “They said they wanted me to play there and offered me and,

although I took some time to think, I knew it was where I wanted to be.” Scara, who had 12 shutouts as a sophomore for Batavia last season, said she had also been in contact with coaches from two D-III schools in Illinois Weslyan and Wheaton College. But with the up-tempo recruiting process that comes with D-I offers, Scara knew she had a great opportunity in front of her. She mentioned the help of Batavia coach Mark Gianfrancesco and Strikers FC club coach Jim Winslow in helping aid the recruitment process. But Gianfrancesco played an integral role in getting coaches from Binghamton out to see Scara in action, which included what Scara called “a bit of a nerve-racking practice centered around her” “It was a little intimidating, but it also allowed them to see a lot of what I can do,” Scara said. “Coach Gianfrancesco did a great job with that, so he helped out a lot with everything in getting me this chance.” But Gianfrancesco said it’s just part of his job. “Any way I can help players, I’m going to do it,” Gianfrancesco said. “[Binghamton] made their

communication lines very accessible and it was clear they wanted her. Jenny is a very coachable player and takes input from a number of people to make sure she can do the necessary things to be successful. It’s really a great opportunity for her.” But both Scara and Gianfrancesco know there’s still work to be done. Sure, Scara has a future lined up to play for a good soccer program at the next level, but she still will be in a Bulldogs uniform for two more seasons. And both know that there is room for improvement in order for Scara to be ready for Division I soccer. “It takes the pressure off to commit this early, but it doesn’t mean there’s not hard work to do still,” Scara said. “It’s definitely going to be more fun now that I know I have a place to play in college, but I still want to work my hardest to make sure I’m ready to go once I get there.” “This is where the hard work begins,” Gianfrancesco said. “It’s easy to coast at this point, but I like what she has done over the past couple of years to grow and mature. But now is a time for more growth and improvement, and if I know Jenny, she’ll be up for the challenge.”

BRIEFS USHL club coming to FVIA

GENEVA – Professional hockey is back in town. The United States Hockey League’s Chicago Steel will move operations from The Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville to Fox Valley Ice Arena beginning in the 201516 season, the USHL announced Monday. The home opener is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 26 against the USA Hockey National Team Development program. USHL and Fox Valley officials could not be reached for comment. In a news release, the Steel, Chicagoland’s only Tier 1 Junior (20U) hockey team, wrote, “The players, coaches and leadership of the Chicago Steel are excited to bring their talents, energy and passion to the Tri-[Cities] communities of Geneva, St. Charles and Batavia, and engaging in the wider Chicagoland and Kane County communities that comprise our loyal and growing fan base.” In May, the USHL approved the Steel’s transfer of majority ownership to Larry Robbins. Inaugural owners Bruce Liilmatainen and Mike Greenberg, who formed the Steel for the 2000-01 season, will remain as minority owners. In 2011-12, Fox Valley Ice Arena hosted the Chicago Hitmen, a junior team in the North American Hockey League, but Hitmen brass often conflicted with arena management over finances, marketing and other off-ice matters that ultimately prevented the club from returning for 2012-13. The USHL is a consistent feeder to the NHL entry draft. In June, league alum Christian Fischer, a Wayne resident who will play collegiately for Notre Dame, was a second-round selection of the Arizona Coyotes.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I’m a 19-year-old woman in college who still lives with my parents. I found out something several weeks ago that’s bothering me, and I need advice badly. Years ago, after a robbery, my parents installed security cameras outside our house. I knew about them because they were visible. But apparently some were installed that I knew nothing about. I have done things while alone to help control certain feelings, and I have also walked around without much on when my parents were away. Ever since I found out, I have been freaking out. I don’t want to make a big deal about it because I’m afraid if my parents didn’t look at anything before, then they will now. I want to know if they have seen what I was doing. My parents have never said anything about seeing me. We’re Catholics, and I have heard the lecture about avoiding

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips self-gratification ever since I can remember. Should I just forget and move on, or should I ask? – Possibly Paranoid Dear Possibly Paranoid: If your parents had been viewing the security footage and felt you were doing something wrong, you would have heard about it from them by now. Masturbation is normal. It is not a crime or harmful to your health. ALL normal boys and girls (and some adults, too) practice this natural type of sexual gratification. Now, forget about it and move on. Dear Abby: I am a gay male and my boyfriend of three years just confessed to me that he’s been cheating on me for the better part of our relationship. We went to

counseling in an attempt to repair the damage that was done, and to see if I could regain any of the trust that I once had in him. Before he told me about the cheating, I had bought an engagement ring for him and was nearly finished paying for it. Now I am unsure if I want to pay it off because I am so appalled. On the other hand, I’m afraid it will affect my credit history if I don’t. What would you do? – Can’t Move Past It Dear Can’t Move Past It: A partner who would cheat on you for that length of time has a character deficiency and will probably do it again. If I were in your position, I’d end the relationship, finish paying for the ring and then cut my losses by selling it. That way, all of the payments you have made won’t go down the tubes, and your credit rating will be intact. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Take ibuprofen and baby aspirin at different times Dear Doctor K: I take ibuprofen every morning for my arthritis. My doctor wants me to take lowdose aspirin every day to reduce my heart attack risk. Ibuprofen and aspirin are both NSAIDs, right? So will the ibuprofen help my arthritis and my heart? Or should I take both? Dear Reader: When joints ache, many people turn to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief. Aspirin is a type of NSAID. So are ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). NSAIDs are widely used because they perform double duty. They relieve pain and also reduce inflammation. But aspirin and other NSAIDs are not equal when it comes to heart disease risk. Daily, low-dose (“baby”) aspirin reduces the risk of further heart trouble in people with known heart disease, and in people at high risk for developing heart disease. In contrast, other NSAID drugs somewhat increase heart disease risk. Doctors first recognized this risk when a new type of NSAID drug, called COX-2 drugs, came on the market. One of them was called Vioxx. Vioxx and one other COX-2 drug were taken off the market because people who used

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff them had a higher risk of high blood pressure and heart trouble. Subsequently, research revealed that several of the older types of NSAIDs (perhaps not including naproxen) slightly increased heart risks. In my opinion, this is so slight that most people don’t need to worry. Why do some NSAIDs pose a risk to the cardiovascular system? First, they reduce the ability of aspirin to inhibit blood clots. A blood clot can block a narrowed artery in the heart, triggering a heart attack. Second, they cause the kidneys to retain more salt and water. That triggers blood pressure to rise, boosting the risk of a stroke. High blood pressure also makes people more prone to atrial fibrillation – a rapid, quivering motion of the heart’s upper chambers that also increases stroke risk. Finally, they probably increase the tendency of the arteries that feed the heart to narrow. Aspirin helps prevent heart attack and stroke by making the blood less likely to clot. Aspirin

attaches to blood cells called platelets to make them less sticky. This decreases the risk of blood clots forming in heart arteries. Aspirin also decreases the tendency of the arteries that feed the heart to narrow. You take both ibuprofen and aspirin. You need to know that taking ibuprofen can reduce the heart-protective effect of aspirin. The reason is that ibuprofen latches on to platelets in the blood at the same spots where aspirin attaches to platelets, thereby decreasing the anti-clotting effects of aspirin. If you need to take both, take the baby aspirin first, in the morning with breakfast. Then wait at least an hour (preferably two) before taking ibuprofen. You can also try to use nondrug therapies to treat your arthritis pain. Heating pads, ice or physical therapy, if appropriate, may help. Even if these approaches don’t eliminate your pain, they may let you take a lower dose of ibuprofen.

Teen accuses friend of theft Dr. Wallace: Erin and I have been good friends for over three years. For her 17th birthday she had a party at her house and about 20 guys and gals showed up. During the party, she took me into her parents’ bedroom to show me the gift she got them for their anniversary. The next day Erin called and accused me of stealing one of her mother’s rings when I was in the bedroom. She said if I didn’t return it her father was going to have me arrested for being a thief. I was totally shocked and started crying. I didn’t steal the ring. I’ve never stolen anything in my life. I told my parents and my mother called Erin’s mother to tell her I didn’t steal the ring. Her mother said I stole it and hung up. Then yesterday, my friend called and said they found the ring on the floor behind the dresser. She apologized and said she wants to be friends again. My parents said the decision was up to me. What do you think I should do? – Nameless, Fargo, North Dakota Dear Nameless: Erin, as well as her parents (who should have known better), mishandled the situation completely. They used the “shoot first and ask questions later” approach. True friends simply don’t act this way with each other. Erin should have called and discussed the situation with you without making an accusation. Because she behaved the way she did, things between you can never be the same. Erin no longer deserves your friendship. Dr. Wallace: I’m a 17-year-old girl who, unfortunately, has a

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace brother who is constantly physically harassing me. He’s exceptionally strong and always walks around the house flexing his muscles. He’s so cocky; he calls himself Mr. Universe. I hope someone whips his tail. That might bring him down to earth. Whenever my parents are out of the house, he bosses me around and says if I don’t do what he says, he’ll “send me to outer space.” He never hits me, but he does push me around. I’ve discussed his disgusting and unacceptable behavior with my parents, but they don’t do anything about it because they don’t think it’s serious. My mom reads your column, so you’re my last hope. – Nameless, DeKalb Dear Mother: As you can see, your daughter is very serious when she says there’s a problem. Personally, I feel Mr. Tough Guy might require a few strenuous chores so he can work off some of that extra energy. Dr. Wallace: I’ve got a big problem.

TODAY – A change in attitude will help you advance. Your financial goals will be within reach. An open approach to your personal relationships will improve your living arrangements. This year will clearly depend on what you are willing to give in order to get what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – When asked to make a move, act quickly or the offer may be withdrawn. Put extra effort into your work and educational pursuits. Greater financial freedom is heading your way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Do something out of the ordinary. A short excursion with friends will take your mind off of your woes. All work and no play is bad for your physical and mental health. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Unanticipated changes will confuse you. Accept what is out of your control instead of letting it bring you down. As time passes, you will realize you were spared distress and loss. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – New friends will get a charge out of your engaging wit and sense of fun. Join a group of individuals whose ideals and beliefs mirror your own. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Take a step back and let things unfold naturally. A detailed project that requires concentration or endurance will help you forget about what’s going on in your personal life. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t get drawn into a battle of wills with someone who is looking for a fight. The less reaction you show, the easier it will be to ward off hassles or challenges. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Refuse to be tempted by a dubious offer. Don’t jeopardize your reputation or step into a vulnerable position. Problems will escalate if you are deemed untrustworthy. Stand behind your words. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Get involved in something that motivates you. Donating your time or services to a cause close to your heart will be rewarding in more ways than one. You can make a difference. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Worrying about matters beyond your control will add to your stress. Look for a creative way to increase your cash flow and secure your future. It’s up to you to bring about positive change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Love and romance are highlighted. Your confidence will soar if you collaborate with people who can help propel you to success. A promising offer is evident. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – It’s a perfect time to make improvements to your surroundings and lifestyle that will add value and comfort to your home. Monetary gains are within reach. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Lending or borrowing money or belongings will be to your advantage. Before you point fingers at others, you should make sure your own actions are reputable. Negativity will lead to disappointment.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Redouble announces the balance of power

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Peter Diamandis, a Greek-American engineer, physician and entrepreneur, said: “An exponential growth is a simple doubling. One becomes two becomes four.” We are looking at responder’s redouble after partner opens one of a suit, and the next player makes a takeout double. The redouble promises at least 10 high-card points and, if opener bid one heart or one spade, denies four-card or better support for that major. After the redouble, either the opening side buys the contract, or the intervening side plays in something doubled for penalty. This deal occurred during a tournament. East, after his redouble, didn’t expect the opponents to land in the suit where he had 100 honors, but when they did, he knew what to do. And note West’s passes – he trusted partner. His hand had decent defense, especially since it contained the spade king. What did West lead against one spade doubled? The defense didn’t slip. West accurately led the spade king. In general, whenever partner makes a low-level penalty double – which includes passing a takeout double, turning it into a penalty double – lead a trump. East overtook with the spade ace and drew three more rounds, West discarding the heart five (attitude), the diamond two (attitude) and the diamond eight (present count). East shifted to the heart 10, which South covered with his jack. West, seeing that he had no re-entry, played low. Now declarer took the club finesse and cashed his other three minor-suit tops, but the defense had the rest for down two, plus 500. Not bad on a deal where East-West cannot make game.
