ometimes everything works out perfectly.

When I was assigned to take photos of ComEd’s Grand Prairie Gateway Project near South Elgin, I had no idea what I would find, or even what I should be looking for.

After some searching of Google maps and conferring with my editor, I made a plan and headed north.

I found the poles that had been erected and found a safe place to park, with a good vantage point to photograph

I only thought that for a few minutes, though, as I ventured a little further and noticed a

This was definitely a first for me!

LOCAL NEWS Pope Francis calls on Congress to embrace immigrants

By MARC FISHER and MICHELLE BOORSTEIN The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Pope Francis, a son of immigrants making history’s first papal address to the U.S. Congress, implored America’s leaders Thursday to accept immigrants as their own children, putting aside political differences to embrace those who “travel north in search of a better life.”

In a speech that gently but firmly urged Americans to move beyond the partisan paralysis that year after year has prevented Congress from making progress on immigration reform, the pope wrapped traditional Catholic teachings into a celebration of American icons, including Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr., drawing lessons from their work as he urged Congress to spurn the modern tendency toward polarization.

“Each son or daughter of a given country has a mission, a personal and social responsibility,” the pope said

Local congressmen embrace pope’s message KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, on Thursday urged his fellow congressmen to accept a challenge from Pope Francis, issued during the pope’s address to Congress.

Foster, via a news release, wrote “it’s important for all elected officials to remember why we take these jobs – to serve our community and our fellow man, and do our best to lift up all people. The pope challenged us to renew a ‘spirit of cooperation’ to meet those goals. I hope my colleagues in Congress will join me in accepting that challenge.”

Foster was among the local congressmen to issue statements addressing the pope’s appearance. U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, issued a news release calling it a “historic address.”

“Pope Francis brought the inspiring message of ‘hope and healing, of peace and justice’ to America and its representatives,” Hultgren wrote. “From his servant’s heart he called all of us to care for the poor, the sick, and everyone at all stages of life.”

U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton, wrote in a re-

Pope Francis speaks Thursday to a joint session of Congress in Washington, D.C. lease Thursday “it was an honor to hear from Pope Francis at this morning’s historic address to Congress.”

“His Holiness exhibited the profound compassion and commitment to God that has made him an inspiration to millions of people of all faiths

worldwide,” Roskam wrote.

“Pope Francis also reminded us of our sacred responsibility to defend life – a duty that Congress has a unique opportunity to fulfill in the coming days.”

gized people across the country and the world with his message of stewardship of the earth and compassion for all mankind.”

“It’s a message that is sorely needed in Congress,” Foster wrote. “I am especially pleased that he brought up issues like income inequality, caring for the environment and treating immigrants with compassion.”

Hultgren wrote the pope “talked about America as a land of opportunity.”

“We need to take up his call to make sure it remains a place for everyone to succeed,” Hultgren wrote. “I was thrilled he mentioned my home state hero, Abraham Lincoln, our ‘guardian of liberty.’ I was most struck by his emphasis on the family, the building block of our society and our great nation.”

Roskam wrote “we can heed the words of His Holiness by working together to advance freedom and opportunity around the world.”

COVER STORY

‘VERY, VERY CONCERNED’

Social service agencies rally for state budget, restored funding

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Crystal Murphy jumped up and down excitedly Thursday morning as motorists honked their horns in downtown Batavia.

Murphy lives with four other women with disabilities at a group home in Batavia operated by the Association for Individual Development.

The association on Thursday joined several other groups in three rallies to publicize the need to restore state funding for important social services.

More than 50 people attended the Batavia rally, which was on the southwest corner of Route 31 and Wilson Street.

About 200 people attended a rally in Aurora, followed by 82 people at an Elgin rally, said Lynn O’Shea, the association’s executive director.

Social services are among the many casualties of the state budget impasse that continues to drag on in Springfield, O’Shea said.

“We’re very, very concerned because right now we’re using fundraising dollars to operate,” O’Shea said.

“If this continues, we’ll have to make some hard decisions.”

Although some services are being funded through court orders because they are tied to Medicaid, other programs rely exclusively on state General Revenue Fund grants that aren’t being paid, O’Shea said.

Rally attendees support state Senate Bill 2046, which include appropriations for nearly all General Revenue Funds grants, including respite services, epilepsy services, Special Olympics and more.

The bill has moved from an Illinois Senate committee to readings in the House, and the next vote on it might be next week, O’Shea said.

Some legislators, such as State Sen. Jim Oberweis,

R-Sugar Grove, are reluctant to approve any additional spending until there is an agreement on the budget. He spoke to attendees of the Aurora rally Thursday morning.

Jim Oberweis “We can’t pass a whole bunch of smaller bills that add up to an unconstitutional budget,” Oberweis said later in a phone interview.

Oberweis is in support of reforms proposed by Gov. Bruce Rauner as part of the budget talks Democratic leadership has refused to consider thus far.

“I don’t know what could be more important than our children,” Wheaton resident Pam Hochberg said.

Hochberg’s daughter works for DayOneNetwork, which provides early intervention services for infants and those with disabilities.

DayOne and AID also were joined by the southern Kane, DeKalb and Kendall counties

chapter of the National Alliance for Mental Illness Health at the Batavia rally.

In addition to motorists, the rally caught the attention of pedestrians, such as Steve and Sue Ferrell. The Batavia residents saw the rally and

walked over to the group to learn about its concerns.

“I think it’s a matter of fairness that [these services] should get an equal share of funds,” Steve Ferrell said.

“People shouldn’t be victimized.”

City awaits results for America in Bloom

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Complaints about a furniture business prompted the St. Charles Police Department to investigate whether a business model went bad or fraud was involved, Deputy Chief David Kintz said.

Since police began receiving complaints about Premier Interiors in August, he said, the department has collected more than 30 reports of people who placed orders and have not received their furniture.

“Word of mouth has now spread,” Kintz said.

He described Premier Interiors, 619 W. Main St., St. Charles, as an upscale furniture store that dealt in custom orders. As such, he said, it wasn’t unusual for customers to wait for their orders, but after a certain amount of waiting they called the business and got the runaround.

Police are trying to determine whether the situation falls under fraud or whether the store intended to get the customers their furniture, Kintz said. He said such investigations are “very, very time consuming” because they involve financial records, bank statements and, sometimes, grand jury subpoenas.

“The business owner has been cooperating with us,” Kintz said.

The police department is not releasing the names of those connected with the nowclosed shop because nobody has been charged, he said.

He encouraged customers to make a police report if they have not received their furniture and haven’t gotten their money back.

“It may not necessarily give satisfaction to the customer,” Kintz said, noting police cannot make any guarantees, “… but it can help us in establishing patterns.”

• POPE FRANCIS

Continued from page 4 in heavily accented English.

“Your own responsibility as members of Congress is to enable this country, by your legislative activity, to grow as a nation.”

In keeping with a trip designed to showcase this pope’s focus on the poor, immigrants and the disenfranchised, Francis went directly from Capitol Hill to St. Patrick in the City Church, and the nearby downtown headquarters of Catholic Charities.

At the church, he offered blessings to an audience of about 300 people that included clients of Catholic Charities – the homeless, the mentally ill, abuse victims and new immigrants – and parishioners in a neighborhood that has flipped during the past decade from marginalized to magnet.

Pope Francis – a symbol of unity for the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics – arrived at the Capitol in his black papal Fiat on Thursday, the third day of his first visit to the United States. He met briefly with House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, a devout Roman Catholic who had invited three popes over two decades to speak to Congress, and was visibly proud one of his invitations at last had been accepted.

The pope’s arrival inside a packed the House chamber was announced by the House sergeant-at-arms, who said: “Mr. Speaker, the pope of the Holy See.” Those words formally launched an event that would have been politically impossible through much of American history, when Catholics – especially waves of immigrants from Italy, Ireland and central Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries – suffered widespread discrimination.

The 78-year-old pope crafted an address saturated in American references, with special praise for the nation’s role as “a land which has inspired so many people to dream.” He urged the abolition of the death penalty and the end of arms trading and warned of the dangers of religious extremism worldwide.

But he saved his most specific prescription for combating climate change, a cause on

which he said the United States has a special obligation to lead.

“I call for a courageous and responsible effort to redirect our steps, and to avert the most serious effects of the environmental deterioration caused by human activity,” the pope said. “I am convinced that we can make a difference – I’m sure. And I have no doubt that the United States – and this Congress – have an important role to play. Now is the time for courageous actions and strategies.”

Although members of Congress largely avoided the ostentatious displays of partisan cheering that have come to characterize the president’s annual State of the Union addresses, an ideological divide was apparent at times. In response to Francis’s passage about climate change, Democrats mostly stood and cheered, while some Republicans stayed seated and applauded mildly, if at all.

But the response to the pope’s passionate words about embracing immigrants seemed to strike a bipartisan chord. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a presidential candidate and son of Cuban immigrants, wiped away tears as the pope called himself “the son of immigrants.”

Perhaps in response to critics’ argument that he is antagonistic to capitalism, Francis tempered his call for action with a statement of support for the role that business plays in society, calling it “a noble vocation, directed to producing wealth and improving the world.”

“The creation and distribution of wealth,” he said, is a vital element in the fight against poverty and climate change.

Those looking for signs of this pope’s political direction could find evidence in the speech’s repeated references to a pantheon of liberal heroes, from Dorothy Day, who dedicated her life to a battle against poverty and war, to Thomas Merton, whose “Letters to a White Liberal,” written in 1963, urged Christians to follow their faith in service of extending civil rights to black Americans.

The pope praised King for his focus on “liberty in plurality and nonexclusion;” Day for “social justice;” and Merton for “dialogue and openness to

God.” Today, the pope said, the world is “increasingly a place of violent conflict, hatred and brutal atrocities, committed even in the name of God and of religion. We know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism.”

In that troubled place, he said, it’s especially important for leaders to do what great Americans have always done – reject extremism and renew “that spirit of cooperation, which has accomplished so much good throughout the history of the United States.”

Francis implored Congress to “reject a mindset of hostility” and embrace the immigrants who come “to this land to pursue their dream of building a future in freedom.”

The pope, noting many in Congress also are children of people who made the risky journey to America, said the nation must follow the Golden Rule and “treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated.”

“We must not be taken aback by their numbers,” he said, “but rather view them as persons, seeing their faces and listening to their stories, trying to respond as best we can to their situation.”

Americans are largely supportive of the pope’s engagement on economic, social and environmental issues. A Washington Post-ABC News poll released Sunday found that 59 percent of those surveyed thought such speeches

by Francis were appropriate; 31 percent said they did not.

But American Catholics, who make up about one-fifth of the U.S. electorate, remain deeply divided over their church’s directives. One Catholic congressman, Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., announced he would skip the pope’s appearance, to protest Francis’s advocacy for strong action against global climate change and what Gosar sees as the pope’s failure to speak out “with moral authority against violent Islam.”

Outside on the lawn, many of those who watched the address on giant video screens came away persuaded Congress should – but probably won’t – take his message to heart.

“I was not expecting him to address the bipartisan divide,” said Emily Warn, 62, a writer from Seattle. “It’s as if he was trying to heal Congress. He gave them a homily, trying to broaden their view. He didn’t use divisive words. It was so hopeful, and I just wondered, how will anybody be able to spin this? Can you spin the pope?”

Francis did not specifically mention the divisive issue of church doctrine about homosexuality, but he made his allegiance to traditional teachings clear, ending his address with a warning the family “is threatened, perhaps as never before. ... Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.”

And in a country where the old-line Catholic population is diminishing because many families are having fewer children – although a wave of Hispanic immigrants is partly making up for that decline in numbers – the pope spoke to young Catholics, especially those who are “disoriented and aimless, trapped in a hopeless maze of violence, abuse and despair.”

They will have children, he said, only if the nation provides them with a greater sense of “possibilities for the future.”

After the address, Francis walked through the Capitol’s second floor to Statuary Hall and paused at the statue of Junipero Serra, the California missionary whom he had canonized Wednesday.

The pontiff then joined Vice President Joe Biden, Boehner and other congressional leaders on the Speaker’s Balcony overlooking the West Front of the Capitol, greeting an enthusiastic crowd that numbered in the thousands. He said a few words of thanks in Spanish and then, to great cheers, switched to English: “Thank you very much, and God Bless America!”

Among those gathered was Liliana Morfin, born in Argentina, now living in Indiana.

She stood with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren, thrilled to be close to her pope, the first from her country.

Baskets for Bev to benefit former SG library director

By ASHLEY SLOBODA |asloboda@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Consider the baskets that soon will be on display at the Sugar Grove Public Library as more than two dozen weights off Beverly Holmes Hughes’ shoulders.

That’s the intent of Debbie DeBoer, who once again is giving the community a way to support the former library director as she battles an aggressive form of brain cancer.

DeBoer is following up last year’s Halloween party fundraiser with Baskets for Bev, a silent auction. She said she timed the fundraiser to give Hughes a boost of hope and some cheer – as well as to take some weight off her shoulders – as the holidays near.

Hughes, who continues to undergo treatments, said she is touched by the support.

“I am so continually overwhelmed by the generosity of people,” she said.

About 25 baskets were do-

nated to the silent auction, which will be at the Sugar Grove Public Library, 125 S. Municipal Drive, Sugar Grove.

“The library is happy to be a continued partner in different initiatives to Beverly help [Hughes] Holmes because she Hughes was key to this beautiful library being built,” director Shannon Halikias said.

Bidding will begin Thursday. DeBoer said participants will write their bid on a provided slip and note which basket they are bidding on, as well as the time and date of the bid. All of the slips will go into one box, so the number of bids for each basket is a mystery, she said.

DeBoer, who finalized the presentation of each basket, said basket themes include gardening, sewing, Christ-

Marisa Burgin, 20, and Tyler Burgin, 22, were married on Saturday at the site of Elburn Hill Church.

They are Maple Park residents, and Marisa Burgin said they’ve been together since they were at Kaneland High School.

She said she had no problem with the tractor leading the way as they left the church.

“I loved it,” she said.

“I mean, I ride tractors. I grew up riding horses, and I

worked for a lot of farmers baling hay.”

Bob Burgin said the tractor got a lot of attention from drivers as they headed away after the wedding.

“A lot of people were honking as we left Elburn,” he said.

It wasn’t so much that the

tractor is a gimmick. Bob and Marcia Burgin run Burgin Farms at 46W725 Route 38 in Maple Park.

Their products also are available at farmers markets throughout the area.

MAPLE PARK – When Marisa Burgin told her then-fiancé that he could pick the getaway vehicle to be used at their wedding last week, she said she wasn’t surprised that Tyler Burgin selected a tractor.

“I kind of figured he was going to pull something like that,” she said.

The move was just fine with her, and it wasn’t the first time something like that was done in the Burgin family.

Tyler Burgin’s father, Bob Burgin, said he and his wife, Marcia, did the same thing when they were married about 15 years ago.

In fact, they were able to somewhat duplicate a photo from that wedding, in which Bob and Marcia Burgin posed with Tyler Burgin, who was a child at the time.

Last weekend, Marisa and Tyler Burgin posed with their young daughter, Daisy, also on a tractor.

“I thought it was great,” Bob Burgin said. “For him to do something that we did … it was something that choked me up a little bit.”

Bob Burgin said he was given the same choice when he chose a tractor 15 years ago.

“I just wanted to do something different,” he said. “In a wedding, it’s the bride who gets to make all of the decisions. I thought this is one decision I can make, if she lets me do it.”

‘Please Wait Here’ RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger I love walking into a bank or post office where it says, “Please Wait Here,” for the next free teller or postal clerk.

Or seeing a grocery store’s directive, “Take A Number.”

These ingenious systems promise justice: No one arriving after me will be served before me. Knowing this, I wait patiently. Well, fairly patiently.

Moreover, restaurants like Portillo’s have expertly engineered the double lane drive-thru; no one inhaling the building’s cologne – Essence of char-grilled Burger – ever honks at someone butting in line (that I’ve heard).

Nonetheless, some drive-thru businesses make picking up a prescription or dropping off a check as competitive as A.J. Foyt battling for position around the Indy 500’s last lap.

Recently, I drove up to a pharmacy pick-up station where both lanes were two cars deep. I chose the lane next to the building when, naturally, the outside lane’s first car finished first, meaning the car showing up after me in that lane got served before me.

Being a grownup, my tantrum lasted only the additional five minutes I had to wait. The injustice, however, reminded me of an earlier run-in far more frightening.

One afternoon, approaching my bank’s drive-thru lanes, I saw both held a car. Not knowing who would finish first, I braked equidistant from the cars’ bumpers, expertly straddling the two lanes.

I was happily hiking the Himalayas with Peter Matthiessen, enjoying the brisk, sunny air of “The Snow Leopard,” when a strident “HONK!” yanked me back to St. Charles.

Looking over, I saw an Ever-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

est-sized SUV looming above my diminutive sedan. Behind tinted glass sat a child looking at me pitiably, as though knowing the fate that awaited me.

Beside her, behind a steering wheel as large as a riverboat’s, a gilded, middle-age woman wearing Lolita sunglasses was waving her arms as if hailing a freight train, her mouth opening and closing like a ventriloquist’s dream dummy.

I sat still, stunned. Merely trying to cue up for the next available teller apparently counted as an act of subversion commensurate to declaring I was a Democrat. Intimidated and shocked, I returned her antics the only way possible: I shrugged.

Immediately, she huffed, and she puffed, and she blew right by me, our doorknobs missing kissing by centimeters. With nowhere else to go, I pulled into the other lane, but not before noticing an elite soccer club sticker on her elite German-made tank. Mercedes Mom obviously was used to getting her way, and to heck with lowly Sedan Dad blocking her way.

Her tactics reminded me of one particular Republican presidential candidate whose idea of civility and empathy is to ignore those virtues.

Oh, the sweet satisfaction felt when my lane moved forward before hers! I thought about waving goodbye, but she might have called Audi Dad in for reinforcements.

So much for line-breakers.

Sometime, I’ll give you my take on people who steer one handed and hold a cellphone to an ear with the other. Hello?

HELLO?!

ANOTHER VIEW

Volkswagen should suffer the consequences of its cheating THE WASHINGTON POST In the wake of Volkswagen’s truly astonishing admission of wrongdoing, Martin Winterkorn, the chief executive of the world’s No. 1 carmaker, stepped down on Wednesday. This should be only the beginning of the consequences. The U.S. government must show that it will not tolerate systematic and brazen lawbreaking. It can – and should – pursue heavy fines against the company and criminal charges against individual executives.

The U.S. government has accused Volkswagen of installing a “defeat device” on nearly half a million cars in the United States – and 11 million worldwide – over seven model years, designed to trick emissions inspectors. The result is hundreds of thousands of cars on the road spewing air pollutants at levels up to 40 times the

legal limit. Volkswagen formally apologized on Sunday and announced that it would commission an independent investigation. That’s too little, too late.

Since the 2009 model year, Volkswagen apparently has sold “clean diesel” cars that are anything but. A tricky algorithm written into the voluminous lines of code that control on-board computers could sense when government inspectors were examining the car and switch on pollution controls. At other times, the software switched off the pollution-reduction features, increasing the car’s fuel efficiency and zip but releasing harmful exhaust.

In other words, the Environmental Protection Agency found, the company falsely claimed to be producing cars that could deliver high performance while meeting pollution standards, in the process cheating buyers and competing unfairly against

honest auto manufacturers.

According to the EPA, this is a story of flagrant, bald-faced criminality, and of misleading regulators until cornered. VW at first attributed emissions discrepancies to technical glitches. But when the EPA performed follow-up tests, it concluded that none of VW’s explanations made sense.

The company confessed only after the EPA threatened not to certify VW’s 2016 models for sale.

We can only hope that the fact VW got caught – and the imposition of heavy punishments – will deter more cheating. The company faces a potential maximum fine of $18 billion, a prospect that caused its stock price to crash this week. Throwing the book at the firm and its executives would serve a clear purpose: to make cheating too financially and personally risky for those tempted in the future.

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.

ST. CHARLES NORTH FOOTBALL

BOUNCING BACK

North Stars look to turn Geneva loss into a positive

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – As the buzzer at Geneva’s Burgess Field sounded, St. Charles North senior Kyle Novotney fell to the ground with his hands on his helmet.

The North Stars suffered their first loss of the football season in heartbreaking fashion, 42-41.

Although many of the North Stars still were upset and disappointed walking into the locker room Monday for practice, there was a message written on the whiteboard that quickly got the attention of the entire team.

“The board said, ‘You can either pout or you can get better,’ ’’ defensive back Jake Spaniol said. “I think that really woke us up and made us realize that we have another really good football team that we have to play on Friday. We can either pout and roll up in a ball or we can put our boots on and get back after it. I think that’s our mindset right now.”

North hosts unbeaten Batavia for its homecoming game tonight. The Bulldogs have not lost an Upstate Eight Conference River Division game in coach Dennis Piron’s four-plus season tenure.

But if you told North coach Rob Pomazak that his team would put up 41 points and more than 400 yards of total offense on the road at Geneva and was walking away with a loss, he would have said the matchup with Batavia would feature two unbeaten teams.

But the reality is North is 3-1. The defense gave up one more point than the offense scored, and Pomazak knows that’s something that cannot happen, but wants this loss to provide motivation and not define the team’s season.

Sean King for Shaw Media

St. Charles North running back Eric Lins (center), receiver Jayson Reckards (left) and the rest of the North Stars will look to bounce back from a tough loss as they host Batavia tonight.

“I think there’s a story to tell on where we are going to be because of that game,” Pomazak said. “Our successes from here on out are going to be because of the blueprint that that game set. We’re as confident as ever and I really believe that.

We know we can compete with some of the better teams in the state in Class 7A right now, and we can’t wait to get back on the field.”

The morale around North this week has gradually been about moving past the loss to

Geneva and on bouncing back with Batavia looming. North has several leaders back from a team that tied a school record with eight wins last year and will rely on the experience of knowing that a loss doesn’t end your season until the playoffs.

Defensive tackle Quinn Calcagno is one of those North Stars, and has more confidence than ever in his team’s ability to overcome a loss and be ready for tonight.

WEEK 5 CHECKDOWNS

KCCHRONICLE.COM/PREPS GAME OF THE WEEK

SLEEPER OF THE WEEK Streamwood at St. Charles East, 7:30 p.m. today I realize this game features two of the teams toward the bottom of the Upstate Eight Conference River Division, but it shouldn’t fly under the radar.

Streamwood allowed Geneva’s Justin Taormina to have his way in the running game earlier this season, and with East’s offense being primarily runbased, the Saints could put up a good amount of points.

BATAVIA (4-0, 2-0 UPSTATE EIGHT CONFERENCE RIVER DIVISION) AT ST. CHARLES NORTH (3-1, 0-1 UEC RIVER), 7:30 P.M. TODAY

BATTLE OF THE KICKERS? When Kaneland and DeKalb meet, there is always a sense of rivalry. But Friday night features two placekickers that are coming in on high notes.

Kaneland’s Drew Franklin is a perfect 18 for 18 on extra points, and as a member of the Knights boys soccer team, Franklin provides a strong foot.

DeKalb freshman Connor Tierney made a game-winning field goal to give the Barbs a victory over Sycamore last week.

GAME UNDER HIS BELT Marmion sophomore quarterback Collin Gibson got his first varsity start in Week 4 – on the muddy raindrenched field – as the Cadets fell to Providence, 24-7.

Gibson completed 5 of 13 passes for 65 yards and was intercepted twice as senior Johnny Tate battled an injury. Gibson and Marmion will have two weeks, with a Week 5 forfeit, to prepare for a road game at Fenwick on Oct. 3.

PLAYOFF WATCH It appears that Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles North are well on their way to playoff berths, but will St. Charles East join them? The Saints are 1-3 through four weeks, needing a minimum of five wins to be considered playoff-eligible.

– Chris Casey ccasey@shawmedia.com

The buzz in the stands

North will look to bounce back from a 42-41 loss at Geneva. Batavia beat St. Charles East, 28-0, on a rain-soaked field to run its Upstate Eight Conference River Division winning streak to 27 games.

North will host the Bulldogs for its homecoming game, under the lights, in front of its home crowd.

“The whole school is talking about this game,” North defensive tackle Quinn Calcagno said. “We love the challenge and love the competition. We’re going to be ready to go come Friday.”

If there was a stage set for a North Stars’ upset, this would be their ideal scenario, but will they be able to do enough to shut down a potent Batavia offense? Let’s take a look.

The marquee matchup

This game will be won in the trenches.

As much firepower and offensive skill both of these teams present, I feel whoever wins the battle of the lines will win this game. While North saw a lot more speed and athleticism last week with Geneva, Batavia presents more size and strength, while also possessing some of that offensive skill and speed with players such as wide receiver Canaan Coffey on the outside.

There’s no doubt Batavia is going to bring pressure and try to force quarterback Zach Mettetal to make ill-advised decisions, but the North Stars give themselves a chance if they can keep that No. 15 uniform of Mettetal fairly clean.

The same goes for Batavia. The offensive line of Batavia is bigger and stronger than any in the area. If the front five open holes for running back Zach Garrett and Dana Anderson, as well as provide time for quarterback Kyle Niemiec to find weapons such as Coffey, Nick Stuttle, and Glenn Albanese, North could be in for

a long night.

The X-factor: North’s offensive tempo

In a game that features a team with a formidable conference winning streak like Batavia’s, it could be a thought for the North Stars to sit back and focus on stopping Batavia offensively. But coach Rob Pomazak has a different mindset.

Sure, his team can’t expect to give up another 40-plus points and expect to win, but he thinks his group is just as good of a football team as Batavia and wants to dictate the tempo.

“We have to be ready to handle their pressure up front, get rid of the ball quick and protect our quarterback, but also establish ourself and our tempo,” Pomazak said. “We want to dictate that. It’s something we do very well and I think we’re in a really good position. I think it’s going to be another battle of two very good football teams.”

Bulldogs coach Dennis Piron has prepared his team all week for the up-tempo offense the North Stars will present and feels they will be more than ready to control Mettetal and skill players Griffin Hammer, Kyle Novotney, Eric Lins and company.

Time of possession could be crucial in what looks on paper to be another high-scoring affair.

Best-case scenario for the Bulldogs

Forcing Mettetal into mistakes. If Batavia can get pressure on Mettetal and force him into more turnovers, as he committed three last week, it should have its way Friday. There’s no doubt in my mind that the Bulldogs will put up their fair share of points, but it will be about controlling Mettetal’s play-making

abilities.

Another small thought for Batavia would be to take an early lead to not only take the crowd out of the game, but also force North to face an early deficit.

However, that won’t be too tough as the North Stars faced several deficits – and came back from them – last week at Geneva.

Best-case scenario for the North Stars

Score first and win the turnover battle.

It sounds fairly simple, but in a game with two offenses capable of scoring a lot of points, the North Stars will want to keep their crowd loud and take an early lead. An experienced Niemiec won’t get rattled facing a deficit, but Batavia hasn’t trailed very much this season, either. If North can score first and create an early takeaway or two while limiting its own turnovers, it could give itself a chance to end the Bulldogs’ streak.

Chris Casey’s prediction

Batavia 41, St. Charles North 28 Being amped up to play compared to actually executing and beating a good football team are two very different things. North won’t win a shootout. The defense will come out with energy, but Batavia’s size and skill on offense will be too much. North will allow its second straight 40-plus point game, which is way too many points to give up and expect to win. Geneva was able to expose the North Stars’ defense last week, and with an even bigger offensive line giving Niemiec time, Coffey will have a big game, while Garrett will find the end zone a few times to send the Bulldogs to 28 straight wins in conference and a 5-0 start to the season.

PREP FOOTBALL WEEK 5 PREVIEW CAPSULES

Geneva (4-0, 2-0 Upstate Eight Conference River Division) at Elgin (0-4, 0-1 UEC River), 7:30 p.m. today

Streamwood (2-2, 1-1 UEC River) at St. Charles East (1-3, 1-1 UEC River), 7:30 p.m. today

Last week’s results: Streamwood shut out Larkin, 21-0. St. Charles East was shut out by Batavia, 28-0.

The skinny: It wasn’t really fair to assess much from East’s loss to Batavia on Saturday. With the field conditions, neither team could really execute its game plan how it would have liked.

East will get back to basics and look for its triple-option attack to continue week-to-week improvement. Streamwood gave up 191 rushing yards to Geneva before beating Larkin fairly easily last week.

The Saints will hope quarterback Zach Mitchell will be able to manage the offense well enough to find running room for himself as well as feature running backs Cam Canales and Dante Macaluso. Canales has started to come on of late, rushing for just less than 300 yards thus far with a couple touchdowns.

Although the records don’t pop out at first glance, it wouldn’t be

a surprise to see this turn into an exciting game between two teams needing wins to have an outside shot at the postseason.

Extra point: The Saints entered last year’s meeting with Streamwood with the same 1-3 record, before earned their second win of the season with a 24-6 victory.

Kaneland (3-1, 1-0 Northern Illinois Big 12 East) at DeKalb (3-1, 1-0 NI Big 12 East), 7:15 p.m. today

Last week’s results: Kaneland beat Yorkville, 35-7. DeKalb beat Sycamore, 31-28.

The skinny: Kaneland didn’t let Friday’s postponement affect its play. In fact, the Knights put up 21 points Saturday night, led by quarterback Jake Marczuk’s three passing touchdowns and a rushing score.

Expect Kaneland to continue the balanced offense, with the added luxury of freshman running back Johnathan Alstott.

As strong as Alstott has been – five touchdowns in the past two games – Marczuk has picked up his passing game after a couple down weeks.

DeKalb always presents a rivalry atmosphere, and expect no different tonight.

Kaneland has had a chip on its shoulder after missing the playoffs last season, and since the Alstott-aided comeback win

over Rich Central in Week 3, the Knights turned their season around and looked like they will be a tough team to beat moving forward.

Extra point: Despite picking up his passing performance, Marczuk is second in the area with 392 yards rushing on 67 carries. That averages to almost six yards a carry, and he has found the end zone 10 times this season.

Chicago Catalyst/Maria (0-2) at St. Francis (3-1), 7:30 p.m. today

Last week’s results: Chicago Catalyst/Maria lost to Clifton Central, 56-22; St. Francis lost to Brother Rice, 46-33.

The skinny: The Spartans do have some game film from Chicago Catalyst/Maria’s loss last week. St. Francis coach Mike Fitzgerald hopes his team will rebound strong from a loss to Brother Rice in Week 4. St. Francis fell behind by a few scores early, and never could dig out of that hole.

Fitzgerald said his team won’t overlook any opponent and that the newly started football program at Chicago Catalyst/Maria looks to have some athleticism.

The Spartans may have gotten past early season mistakes on pure talent, but Brother Rice showed them mistakes won’t be taken lightly against some

of the Chicago Catholic League powers.

Extra point: Spartans quarterback Peter Fassnacht has averaged passing for 324 yards in the past two games after throwing just one pass in the season-opening win against Kelvyn Park. Fassnacht has 10 touchdown passes this season in three games.

Burlington Central (0-4, 0-2 Big Northern Conference East) at Genoa -Kingston (2-2, 1-1 BNC East), 7 p.m. today

Last week’s results: Burlington Central lost to Harvard, 20-14. Genoa-Kingston shut out Rockford Christian, 40-0.

The skinny: Burlington Central almost had its first win of the season, seizing the momentum against Harvard before weather stopped play midway through the fourth quarter of a tie game.

The Rockets ended up losing to remain winless on the season.

A tough trip to Genoa-Kingston awaits this week, and BC will have its hands full as Jason Newburger continues to search for win No. 1 as Rockets head coach.

Extra point: The 14 points scored last week were a season-high for the Rockets, who have averaged just more than 10 points a game this year.

North Stars looking to make a statement after loss • NORTH FOOTBALL Continued from page 21

“Given last year when we had tough losses, with coaches and resilient players, we bounced back,” Calcagno said. “We’re looking to do the same this year. Already this week, we have guys looking good, looking ready, so we’re ready to go. There’s no excuses around here. We have a job to do this week and that’s our focus.”

Just as Geneva quarterback Sean Chambers did Saturday, North’s signal-caller Zach Mettetal will face a situation he has not yet come across as a starting quarterback. For

the first time, he will take the field after a loss. Mettetal, who has thrown for 892 yards and 11 touchdowns through four games, knows there is a big opportunity to not only erase any of the doubts people around North have about this football team, but also make a statement that the North Stars are for real.

“This is a pretty big opportunity for us,” Mettetal said. “[Batavia] hasn’t lost [a] conference game in four or five years, so for them to come here on our homecoming, it’s going to be exciting. We’ve really moved on from that loss, become better because of it and now we’re battle-tested, so our confidence is higher than it’ll

The loss to Geneva was certainly an “eye-opening” experience, as Pomazak put it. But

just because the North Stars lost a game doesn’t mean the season is lost. Each goal North sets for itself still is reachable.

“Everything is still intact on what we wanted to accomplish this year,” Spaniol said.

“A conference championship is still within reach and, of course, the playoffs. But that conference championship is goal No. 1, and [tonight] is a chance to make a statement toward that goal.”

“Friday can’t come fast enough,” Pomazak said. “The guys are ready to go and we’re excited. Batavia is a good football team, and I believe we are a good football team, and this is exactly where we want to be.”

There will be one telling sign on just how the North Stars bounce back, and that’s the score when the clock hits all zeros.

Last week’s results: Geneva beat St. Charles North, 42-41.

Elgin was shut out by West Aurora, 30-0.

The skinny: Avoid the letdown. It’s as simple as that for Geneva. Coach Rob Wicinski shouldn’t be overly concerned about that happening with a focused Vikings group.

Quarterback Sean Chambers kept his team’s undefeated season alive with a game-winning drive that ended with a touchdown pass to receiver Ryan Skibinski to beat St. Charles North.

Geneva has a few winnable games before its Week 8 matchup with Batavia. But the Vikings have focused on the task at hand all season, and Chambers will not let his team look toward the future at any point.

“Every game out there is a chance to get better,” Chambers said. “We respect each and every opponent we have and know we’re going to get everyone’s best shot moving forward. There are certainly ways to get better and improve, so that’s what we have in mind for this week.”

Extra point: Chambers leads

the area with 12 touchdown passes through four games.

His 868 yards ranks third and his two interceptions last week against North were his first two of the season.

Insider A closer look at girls volleyball

IN THE GROOVE DALEY KRAGE & JACLYN TAYLOR St. Charles North What they did: The program veterans earned all-tournament honors at last week’s Wheaton Classic, helping the North Stars to a runner-up finish behind Benet. Krage contributed 43 kills in five matches, while Taylor contributed 107 assists.

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Geneva junior outside hitter Grace Loberg said she is “back to 100 percent” after a bout with mononucleosis this month.

NOTEWORTHY Geneva’s Loberg ‘so happy’ to return

Her mononucleosis neutralized at last, Geneva junior outside hitter Grace Loberg smacked nine kills in Tuesday’s home sweep of St. Charles East, her first full regular-season match in nearly a month.

“I hated it,” Loberg said. “I was so bored not playing and not practicing, so I’m so happy.”

Loberg fell ill during the Plainfield North Invitational in late August and returned briefly in a home match against St. Charles North about 10 days later.

Although she played in the Vikings’ loss, Loberg said she “just wasn’t feeling good” and took some time off.

She gaged how her body felt, and as soon as she was ready to practice, she was back for good.

The Wisconsin women’s volleyball recruit, who doubles as a standout post during girls basketball season, helped Geneva to a second-place finish at the Glenbard West Invitational this past weekend.

“I feel a lot better,” Loberg said. “Back to 100 percent. It stunk being out, but I feel better now.”

Her teammates can attest after a few

other abbreviated early season absences.

“It’s great to have the whole team and everybody, including Grace, back,” Vikings junior middle Ally Mullen said. “It’s more normal and we can get everything going on.”

“We are improving a lot,” Leavitt said.

“The key to us is our serve and serve-receive, because we serve really aggressive, so it’s really whether we keep the ball or not. We’re really a high-risk, high-reward service team.”

It’s the little things

Rosary coach Megan Hartmann didn’t hesitate in offering a synopsis of the Royals’ recent schedule.

“It’s a quick week,” she said.

Rosary hosted Girls Catholic Athletic Conference counterparts DePaul and Kankakee Bishop McNamara, respectively, on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Waubonsie Valley Invitational is on the schedule today and Saturday.

“There’s never enough practice time,” Hartmann said, “but that’s how high school season goes.”

Naturally, the Royals’ trip to the Wheaton Classic this past weekend offered several matches’ worth of data from which to work.

Hartmann and her staff acted accordingly for Monday’s practice, shifting the team’s focus to defense.

Mount Pulaski sits in proximity to the geographic center of Illinois.

Each girls volleyball season, its high school’s Hilltoppers traditionally are in the middle of high-stakes matches in the IHSA Class 1A postseason, too.

Burlington Central’s second straight trip to Mount Pulaski’s annual Fall Festival tournament this past weekend featured a loss to the host team, but the trip still proved worthwhile for the Rockets.

“They’re smaller schools, but they’re really good schools,” BC co-coach Marv Leavitt said. “The competition was very good for us.”

Central defeated a pair of 3A brethren schools in Champaign Central and Bloomington Central Catholic while also beating Effingham and Lena-Winslow.

The Rockets finished 4-1 and won the silver division title.

Royals on the go

– Kevin Druley, kdruley@shawmedia.com

LEXI DEWAARD Burlington Central, Jr., S What she did: DeWaard had 21 assists in Tuesday’s home sweep of Johnsburg, helping the Rockets improve to 5-0 in Big Northern Conference East matches.

HITTING REWIND A healthy Grace Loberg certainly helped, but Geneva also was noticeably more aggressive during Tuesday’s home sweep of St. Charles East, which came exactly two weeks after St. Charles North swept the Vikings in the contest gym in Upstate Eight Conference River Division play.

“Definitely night and day,” Geneva junior middle Ally Mullen said. “We’ve worked well in practice. … It’s good that there’s time. We can work on what we need to grow. We’re getting things together and it’s going well.”

COMING ATTRACTION Rosary welcomed the move to the Girls Catholic Athletic Conference in part because of the new opponents and challenges it would bring. To be sure, Tuesday’s visit from perennial power Mother McAuley fits both bills, and should serve as a strong midseason barometer.

GENEVA – Usually, it’s the top-tiered matches at a tennis meet that take the longest.

That was not the case Thursday in a contest between the Geneva and St. Charles East girls teams.

The No. 3 singles match ended the Upstate Eight Conference River Division dual almost two hours after it Grace started while Krueger the No. 1 matches finished first.

East freshman Katie McCarthy beat Vikings senior Kristen Teubner in three sets at No.3 singles. It did not decide the outcome of the meet. The Vikings had already won four matches, edging the Saints, 4-3.

“It was very long and tiring,” McCarthy said about the match that she won, 6-2, 2-6, 7-6 (7-4). “I just concentrated on hitting crosscourt and keeping the ball in play.”

“I’m definitely very happy with Katie’s progress,” East coach Matt Bulman said. “She had a lot of chances to make mistakes but instead she just stepped up and played a great game.”

The No.1 singles players were the first ones off the court when Geneva’s Grace Krueger defeated Emily Hautzinger, 6-0, 6-2.

“I was trying to focus on each point at a time and stay consistent.” Krueger said.

The No. 1 doubles match ended next, also a Viking win.

Madi Corda and Taylor Hayes downed the Saints’ Paige Ackerman and Emily Sullivan, 6-4, 6-4.

“One doubles played a really tough match today and played extremely well,” Geneva coach Zach Evans said. “We played them before and lost to them in three sets, so to beat them into today was huge.”

The Vikings also won at No. 2 singles, as Elizabeth Prendergast beat Olivia Gapuz, 6-3, 6-4.

“Prendergast played a really good match,” Evans said. ”She was down for a little bit but was able to come back.”

Geneva won at No. 4 doubles while East took the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles matches.

“Everyone played extremely well today across the board,” said Evans about his squad, which is currently leading the UEC River Division.

Said Bulman: “I would’ve loved to [have] won. I thought we were close in every court except one singles and that was expected.”

Both coaches were very upbeat about their teams after a month of competition.

“I would like to see us play little more aggressive, but overall we’re playing extremely well,” Evans said. “I can’t ask for too much more than that. We’re doing really well conference wise – we haven’t lost yet.”

“We’ve had a lot of success so far this season,” Bulman said. “Plus, we have a lot of promise and there’s still room for growth.”

National Honey Month brings harvest to Heritage Prairie Farm KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE neighbors@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – September is National Honey Month, and Heritage Prairie Farm in Elburn recently harvested more than 1,000 pounds of honey, according to a news release.

Beekeeping has been a part of Heritage Prairie Farm’s legacy since its opening in 2006.

At the end of each summer, the farm begins the process of harvesting the extra honey from the top of the hives from

boxes called “supers.” Supers are added to the tops of hives so bees can continue storing honey in the hive.

Ensuring the hives’ livelihood, Heritage Prairie Farm only harvests the superfluous honey and not the entire hive, the release states.

To ensure that the hives stay healthy throughout the winter, about 100 pounds of honey will be left in the hive.

ADVICE

Two heads are no better than one Dear Abby: There are no words

to express how disappointed I am at the education kids receive now and still graduate with “honors.”

I was at the grocery store a short time ago. Two young ladies working there just completed their freshman year at the local college.

One of them had been on the honor roll all through high school.

I bought four packages of gravy mix that were on sale – four packages for $1. As the cashier rang it up, I noticed that she had entered them at 44 cents apiece.

When I brought it to her attention, she asked the other cashier if that was right. She asked, “Forty-four cents, wouldn’t that be four for $1?” The other one picked up a calculator to find the answer.

Can you tell me, what did this honor student learn in school?

Both girls are in college. My heart is broken for our kids. Maybe we need to go back to teaching like

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips when I was a kid. Just call me ... – Grandparent In Texas Dear Grandparent: Frankly, your letter leaves me at a loss for words. I can only say that the problems with our educational system will not be resolved in an advice column. Readers?

Dear Abby: I was sober for a year when I met my husband.

Neither my alcoholism nor my 24 years of perfect sobriety have ever caused any upset for anyone in his family.

His niece will be married later this year in a winery in another state. The thought of it makes me anxious, and I am opting to not attend with my husband.

Abby, I am not a “special”

aunt, and I have no place in the wedding, which will be large.

Some family members think I’m being selfish, but I believe I am my first responsibility. They are not the sort you can talk to, so please advise. Am I being selfish?

– Very Sad In Pennsylvania Dear Very Sad: Not in my opinion. Your reason for not attending makes sense to me, and it’s not “selfish” to skip an event at which you would not be comfortable. If you send your husband – and a nice wedding gift – I’m sure the bride will forgive your absence.

And for those who would hold it against you, “remind” them that although you have maintained your sobriety for many years, it can’t be taken for granted because sobriety is a day-to-day challenge for people with alcoholism.

New medications help restless legs relax Dear Doctor K: I’ve just been diagnosed with restless legs syndrome. Can you tell me the latest medicines for this condition?

Dear Reader: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs. In describing these odd sensations, my patients use words such as “tingling,” “prickly,” “crawling,” “pulling” and, sometimes, “painful.”

The discomfort of RLS usually comes with an overwhelming urge to move the legs. In fact, moving the legs may actually make them temporarily feel better. RLS also can cause occasional jerking leg movements during sleep. That’s why doctors often call it a “movement disorder.”

RLS symptoms tend to worsen when you’re inactive, particularly at bedtime. As a result, many people, as you do, find it hard to fall and stay asleep. Then a vicious cycle can set in. Poor quality sleep makes you feel generally worse and may make the unpleasant sensations worse as well. That’s because when you don’t get enough sleep, all sorts of bodily sensations – particularly pain – are amplified.

Treatment will depend on how severe your symptoms are.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff If they are mild, then exercising, stretching or massaging your legs or taking a hot bath may bring relief. In the past, we’ve talked in this space about lifestyle changes that can help to reduce the symptoms of RLS. But you asked specifically about medications.

Several different medicines can improve or even eliminate the bothersome symptoms. The first may surprise you: iron pills.

That’s because people who have deficient levels of iron in their body are much more likely to develop restless legs syndrome.

Menstruating women sometimes develop iron deficiency because they lose iron in their blood each month, but there is no similar common cause of blood loss in men. If your blood iron levels are definitely low, or even if they are in the low normal range, you should talk with your doctor about iron pills.

The more conventional drugs that are used for RLS include the following, taken alone or in combination:

• Dopaminergic agents usually relieve discomfort and improve sleep quality. The two most commonly prescribed drugs are pramipexole and ropinirole. A relatively new drug of this type is rotigotine. It is available as a pill and also as a skin patch that you apply for a day, and replace the next morning with a fresh patch.

• Benzodiazepines are sedatives that improve sleep quality.

• Anticonvulsants are especially useful in patients whose symptoms are painful.

• Opioids are narcotics, such as codeine and oxycodone.

They relieve pain and suppress symptoms. Opioids are generally reserved for people with severe, unrelenting symptoms that do not respond to other treatments.

As is often true in medicine, you and your doctor may need to try different treatments, in different doses and combinations, to find out which is best for you.

But after that period of trial and error, you’re likely to get that good night’s sleep you’ve been dreaming of.

Parents should reconsider Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and work as a waitress at a small restaurant on Friday and Saturday nights. I really love the job, and I can also use the money. I’m usually home by about 10:30 p.m., but last Saturday night I didn’t get home until after midnight because I agreed to work an after-hours birthday party. I made $45 for working an extra two hours.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? A good teen works hard to earn her own spending money. Well, it didn’t turn out that way. Because I didn’t get to bed that night until after 1:30 a.m., I overslept Sunday morning and missed church. Because of this, my mother (who attends church sporadically) has grounded me for a month. No dates (I date on Sunday afternoons or evenings), no telephone calls and I’ve got to be in the house 30 minutes after my last class.

Missing church was strictly an accident, because I love attending the services and never miss going unless I’m ill. I feel that I was unjustly punished.

What do you think?

My parents do read your column and I’m hoping your answer will persuade them to reconsider. Please hurry! – Anne, Tampa, Florida Dear Anne: I agree with you. Mom and Dad, please reconsider. Your daughter deserves to be praised for her work ethic, not punished for making a mistake.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 19-year-old female with a very messy past – alcohol, drugs and sex. With the help of therapy, I’ve cleaned up my act. For the past six months I have been drug- and alcohol-free and have re-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace frained from all sexual activity. I really feel good about myself, and there was a time I never thought I would ever have this feeling again.

I’m dating a guy who helped me overcome my need for alcohol and drugs. He was working at the rehabilitation hospital when I was a patient there. He is a very competent therapist.

The problem is that he wants me to have sex with him. Before I cleaned up my act, I would have jumped at the chance. He’s handsome, charming, intelligent and has a great sense of humor.

He also treats me well.

He says he loves me and that having sex will not trigger my desire to do drugs and alcohol again.

My big concern is that I might give in to him at a very weak moment. Any tips to keep me from becoming weak and vulnerable will be appreciated. I really want to refrain from having sex with him.

– Confused, Oakland, California Dear Confused: You feel good about yourself because you have overcome your messy past, and sexual promiscuity caused part of that mess.

Don’t even think about regressing!

Certainly a therapist should understand and respect your feelings!

His pressuring you for sex negatively outweighs the fact that he is handsome, intelligent and has a great sense of humor.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The full deal would lead the player

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Fletcher Knebel, an author of political fiction who died in 1993, said, “Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.”

When you play bridge, keeping some statistics is not a bad idea.

In a duplicate, for example, note how many times your opponents are going down. If a lot, you are not doubling enough. When you are on opening lead, how often do you make the best start? You must treat this one carefully, because some “best opening leads” are hard to find.

You are West, on lead after that Stayman auction. Which card would you choose?

From the auction you learned that dummy has four spades. Without a major, he wouldn’t have used Stayman; and with four hearts, he would have raised his partner’s suit.

However, it is probably best to lead a spade, despite dummy’s having four. You hope partner has a useful doubleton – preferably kingor ace-doubleton, but ten-doubleton might be enough.

The layout of your dreams exists in this deal. But note that you must “forget” the textbook advice to lead the top of three touching honors. If you choose the queen, you irreparably block the suit. When an opponent is known to have four-card length, lead fourth-highest; here, the three.

Presumably declarer will play low from the dummy. Your partner will win with his king and return the suit. Since declarer cannot get nine tricks without playing on diamonds, you defeat the contract.

Finally, note that if a psychic declarer calls for dummy’s ace at trick one, hope partner unblocks the king. If he does, sign him up as your bridge partner for life.

• Friday, September 25, 2015

TODAY – You’ll have plenty to contend with this year. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to travel. The education you gain will play a major role in your future plans. A change in direction is likely, so be ready to take advantage of any career prospects that arise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Self-discipline will enable you to turn your dream into a reality. Getting involved in a group, organization or club will bring influential contacts. Your eye for detail will be an asset.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You are responsible for your future. Make a change to your current situation that is in your best interest. Working from home will be a viable option. Discretion will be required.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Someone will try to take advantage of your generosity. Look out for someone in a vulnerable position; your help will be appreciated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Important information is being withheld.

Devote your energy to finding out what steps you need to take to achieve your goals. The extra effort will pay off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Romantic and social events will turn out to be intriguing. You can make a move if you keep your expectations realistic.

Favorable results will ensue if you apply past experience.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t make impulsive or emotional decisions. Change requires careful thought and planning. Someone will try to get ahead by leading you astray. Don’t share secrets. Be discreet and diplomatic.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your love life will blossom. Making money and getting ahead will boost your confidence. Don’t rely on secondhand information. Research prospective deals and make an informed decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Participate in events or activities that will help sharpen your people skills. With a professional, confident attitude, you will make an excellent impression that will promote your prospects.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Not everyone has your best interest at heart.

You will be coerced into doing something against your principles if you aren’t careful. Be wary of people with questionable motives.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You have the energy and the ability to take on extra duties that will lead to increased earnings. Keep your business and personal lives separate if you want to avoid gossip.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Overspending or overindulging will have negative repercussions, adding stress to your life. Make home or personal improvements, but stick to a set budget. Love and romance will be your saving graces.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Take on a new challenge in order to move forward. Financial rewards are available if you work hard. You have what it takes to turn a negative into a positive.
