CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS Accuracy is important to the Kane County Chronicle, and we want to correct mistakes promptly. Please call errors to our attention by phone, 630-845-5355; email, editorial@kcchronicle.com.

Readers come through with info The Thursday edition of the Kane County Chronicle featured a cover story about a standoff in Geneva on Wednesday that resulted in three local schools being put on lockdown.

While the Chronicle eventually did receive specifics about the matter from the Geneva Police Department, the first we heard of the developing situation was from our readers.

The first call we received about the lockdown was from a man who said his wife – an employee at St. Peter School – had texted him about the situation. He wasn’t sure what was going on, and he thought we might have information.

After calling the school to confirm the lockdown, we sent photo editor Sandy Bressner and reporter Eric Schelkopf to the scene.

As Sandy and Eric relayed information back to the

Fox Valley Rugby to begin 2014-15 season today ST. CHARLES – Fox Valley Rugby will begin its 2014-15 season

with a home opener against the Rockford Ravens. The match will be at 1 p.m. today at James O. Breen Community Park, at

Campton Hills and Peck roads in St. Charles. A post-match social event will follow immediately at Alley 64, 212 W. Main St.,

St. Charles. A full schedule and results can be found at www. foxvalleyrugby.org.

newsroom, news editor Al Lagattolla and I posted it on our website, www.kcchronicle.com. We also posted the details on our social media sites (www.facebook.com/ kanecountychronicle and @ kcchronicle), and we sent out breaking news alerts.

As the story continued to develop, we learned from another reader who called to say that Faith Christian Academy also was on lockdown. After verifying that detail, we included it in our breaking news coverage, as well.

I thanked each of these readers for calling our newsroom and providing us with information relevant to the standoff. Their help was critical in our being able to

This is just one example of how our readers can help us stay on top of breaking news stories. Though our editorial team strives to obtain such information at the onset of an emergency event, that doesn’t always happen.

In such cases, we appreciate tips from our readers.

It’s black walnut season, and squirrels are thrilled GOOD NATURED Pam Otto We’ve all been there ...

That awkward moment when you realize there’s a poppy seed from the morning’s muffin wedged between your two front teeth. Or that you’re wearing a milk mustache from your lunchtime latte. Or when you find – as I have, more times than I care to count – that you have chocolate frosting smeared, clown like, about your chin and cheeks.

All of these scenarios ran through my mind the other day as I strolled through the Native Plant Garden behind the Pottawatomie Community Center and saw, not one, but two young squirrels bearing evidence of their latest meal all over their cute little rodent faces. As they looked down from the oak tree, clucking at either each other or me, it was hard to miss their huge, walnut-eating grins.

Yep, it’s black walnut season again, and these two Sciurus carolinensis were not going to miss a minute of it.

Judging by the quantity of husks I saw on a nearby picnic table, the little gray squirrels had quite a feast. In fact, the pile was so large, I really couldn’t picture anyone else – anyone human, that is – wanting to eat there. I’d actually tried to clean it up a bit, using a handful of catalpa pods to sweep the bulk of the mass out onto the grass.

I got the bulk of the nut “crumbs” cleaned up, but there wasn’t much I could do about the stains they left behind.

If you’ve ever lived near a black walnut tree, or have harvested its fruit, you’re familiar with the staining that occurs when the husks are split. Juglans nigra possesses an impressive array of pigments, including its namesake juglone, which can be used as a fabric dye, as well as a natural coloring agent in foods

Photo provided

It’s black walnut season, and squirrels everywhere are sporting walnut-eating grins. Pigments in the nuts’ husks create stains that range from deep yellow to dark brown, and last for days or even weeks. and cosmetics; plumbagin, a yellow dye once used on the hair and skin; and tannins, which act to set the dyes and make sure they never, ever go away.

Well, at least it seems that way. Black walnut stains do fade over time, from dark brown to orange to golden yellow. But when those fading stains are on your (my) fingers, because you (I) foolishly decided to remove the husks without wearing gloves, it

really does seem like they’re going to last forever.

Just sayin’.

The squirrels at Pottawatomie probably will bear the marks of their walnut meal for at least a week or two. In fact, since black walnut season barely has begun, the pair are likely to indulge several more times before winter sets in.

Which means their faces will stay stained for some time to come.

You may have walnut-eat-

ing rodents in your neck of the woods, too. The next time you see a squirrel, look for abnormally dark coloration around the mouth. If the staining is deep, you might at first think the squirrel is injured. (I know I did when I saw this phenomenon for the first time.) But if you can get a closer look, with binoculars or the zoom feature on a camera, you’ll see the coloration isn’t a sore, or dried blood. It’s just fur, dyed brown.

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“We found a home we value…”

The view from our two bedroom balcony apartment can’t be beat. To say we have it all might be a bit of an understatement. You see, when we were ready to make the retirement decision, we knew we wanted to find a community that felt like home and would offer great living accommodations but Jim & Bev Gillett would also provide a full continuum of care and services. The reality of life is that at some point one or both of us may need some kind of care and support, and we wanted to be sure when that time came we could be together. We also were conscious of the costs associated with retirement living. After visiting other places near our home in Maple Park, we found the costs associated with the care and services didn’t translate into value. So, when we stopped in at Oak Crest we just knew we had come home. Not only were we impressed with the surroundings, the apartments, and services; we found an apartment we love at a price we love even more. Come see for yourself. It really comes down to this: life at Oak Crest translates into value.

Jim & Bev Gillett, Residents since 2012

COVER STORY

WINE, FOOD AND MORE Geneva’s Festival of the Vine gets underway

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Frank Changet didn’t have to walk far for lunch Friday afternoon.

The Elgin resident decided to munch on a range of food available at Festival of the Vine’s Flavor Fare, which was set up near Weaver Partners, where he works in downtown Geneva.

Changet was getting ready to sink his teeth into the two steak chimichurri tacos he bought at the Sergio’s Cantina booth.

“I’m not done,” he said.

“This is the first round.”

Geneva’s annual autumn harvest celebration, Festival of the Vine, kicked off Friday with a variety of activities.

The festival, put on by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, will continue today and Sunday.

The festival is taking place in downtown Geneva.

The Flavor Fare tent is at West State and North Fourth streets. Wines also are featured at the Flavor Fare’s wine tent. In addition, musicians and dancers will perform on a stage throughout the weekend.

St. Charles resident Theresa Coine, a flight attendant for United Airlines, was at the festival with fellow airline attendants enjoying some wine.

“We’ve been coming every year,” Coine said. “I enjoy the entertainment, the wine and the food.”

Maria Malayter decided to take advantage of the horsedrawn carriage rides being

“I saw it and I thought, ‘This is my birthday month.

I need to do that,’ ” Malayter said.

She will turn 47 on Sept. 16.

Malayter said she was happy she got to sit in the front of the carriage, next to the driver.

“It was fun to be so high up,” Malayter said. “The horse was so beautiful.”

Johanna Patterson of Geneva and her two children, Emilie, 3, and John, 1, also en-

joyed a horse-drawn carriage ride. Patterson said it is her children’s favorite activity during Festival of the Vine.

Emilie’s face also was

sporting a painted ladybug she received at a festival face painting booth.

“The horse-drawn carriage ride was a good family activi-

ty,” Patterson said. “They let you pet the horse before you go on the ride.”

Besides food, wine tastings are a significant part of Festival of the Vine. Patty Vesper of Chicago was trying a red wine at the tent at The Little Traveler.

“It’s a little on the sweet side but refreshing on a day like this,” Vesper said. “I love Geneva. It’s a very quaint little town, with less hustle and bustle than Chicago.”

Proceeds from The Little Traveler’s wine tasting go to the Geneva Community Chest, which serves 20 different social service agencies.

Alison Murnane, of St. Charles, said she thought there were some unique flavors featured at the wine tasting, including a chocolate red wine, which she said “would be good for a dessert wine.”

“I just like being able to try different samples of wine,” she said.

The festival also features

Now on a Saturday, event features taste of Larsen Light Show

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com ELBURN – The creator of the Larsen Light Show is bringing a taste of his award-winning display to the Elburn Christmas Stroll.

Brian Larsen, whose display at his Campton Hills house was declared a winner on an episode of ABC-TV’s “The Great Christmas Light Fight” last year, will decorate the Town and Country Public

Library, at 320 E. North St. in Elburn.

It is one of many significant changes for the Elburn Chamber of Commerce’s annual festival, which will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Nov. 29. Traditionally, the event has taken place on a Friday night, but this year, it will be on a Saturday afternoon.

Larsen said he is donating all of the labor and the programming.

“It changes the Stroll,” Westfall said. “It could be pretty exciting.”

The chamber will seek advertising to help pay for the cost of the tree. The library tree would be on display throughout the holiday season.

“I think it’s a plus for everybody,” Larsen said.

The library still would feature a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus, which has

Trial for Geneva man charged with murder set for December

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – The trial of a Geneva man charged with his wife’s murder is set to begin in December.

Shadwick King faces two counts of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Kathleen King, 32. Her body was found July 6 on railroad tracks less than a half-mile from their Geneva home.

A jury trial is set to begin at 8:30 a.m. Dec. 8, according to court records. A pretrial conference is set for 1:30 p.m.

Dec. 4.

King’s attorney, Kane

County Public Defender Kelli Childress, on Aug. 27 filed a request for a speedy trial.

Kane County Judge James Hallock also recently denied a request by King’s attorney for a new judge.

King is accused of killing his wife and then placing her body on railroad tracks near their home on Geneva’s Shadwick King east side. Her cause of death was ruled to be asphyxiation, according to prosecutors.

Childress, who is repre-

senting King, has subpoenaed more than a dozen law-enforcement agencies seeking evidence in the case, including reports and records of 911 calls about Kathleen King’s death, and any reports involving contact with Shadwick King and Kathleen King’s relatives.

Childress also subpoenaed the Metra Law Department for July 6 reports about a female on railroad tracks, and information on a July 6 call from a conductor on a Metra train about a female on the tracks.

King remains in the Kane County Jail on a $1.5 million bond. A status hearing on the case is set for Sept. 24.

those 4 and younger are free.

Proceeds will go to support two families of the department, who need help to cover costs from medical bills for their children born with medical complications.

There will be raffle prizes.

Those who cannot attend but would like to make a donation can send monetary donations to Pancake breakfast, 210 E. North St., Elburn, IL 60119.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Charges have not yet been authorized against a 66-year-old Geneva man involved in this week’s standoff with city police and the Kane County SWAT Team, police said Friday.

“We are still working with the Kane County state’s attorney to determine what would be appropriate for this case,” Geneva Police Cmdr. Eric Passarelli wrote in an email.

Geneva police responded to the 200 block of Syril Drive on Wednesday morning after the man’s wife went to the Geneva police station reporting the couple had been in a verbal argument, police have said.

The woman reportedly told police the man had a handgun, and she feared for his safety.

After a 90-minute standoff that prompted nearby schools to be put on lockdown, Geneva police officers and the Kane County SWAT Team made contact with the man and brought him into custody.

He also received medical attention for reasons not related to the incident, police have said.

According to police, the man had discharged a handgun outside his home after his wife left but before police arrived at the scene. It did not appear that the man tried to harm himself, police have said.

Police said Wednesday charges were pending against the man, whose name was not being released.

The report on the incident was not available for review Friday because it was not complete, Passarelli wrote.

“The reporting officer is still attempting to gather some pertinent information,” he wrote.

Beardsgaard Barbers set to feature ’20s-era barber chairs KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – Self-confessed mom-and-pop barber nerds Natalie and Tyler Anderson will bring their tools,

1920s-era barber chairs and reputations for their beard work, shaves and haircuts to Batavia.

Beardsgaard Barbers is set to open at 10 a.m. Tuesday at 117 S. Batavia Ave. in

downtown Batavia.

According to owner Natalie Anderson, Beardsgaard Barbers will provide a resource for men’s personal grooming in the western suburbs.

“While many barber shops offer beard trims, few are as obsessed with and knowledgeable about beard care and grooming as the barbers of Beardsgaard,” Anderson

said, according to a news release. “Or, as dedicated to perfection in their craft. Fewer still offer these services as a comfortable price point.

Barbershop gems like this are rarely found outside of major metropolitan cities.”

Beardsgaard Barbers had been in the midst of a crowd-funding quest with two objectives.

The first is updating the

plumbing in the late-1800s building.

The second is stocking the shelves with the best grooming tools and products from around the world with a focus on heritage companies and small, independent brands.

Information is available by going to Beardsgaard Barbers’ website, www.beardsgaardbarbers.com.

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com A storm that packed strong winds swept Friday afternoon through the western part of Kane County, causing some damage as trees were knocked down. Some fallen trees blocked roads in the area.

The Kane County Sheriff’s Office reported that parts of Route 47 had been blocked – at Burlington and Plank roads – because of trees and power lines that had been knocked down. Also, the sheriff’s office reported that there were trees and wires across the road in areas of Route 64 in the western part of the county.

Power outages were reported in some areas as well, with ComEd reporting more than 1,000 were affected in the Campton Hills area as of 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Eric Lenning, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said that there were reports of wind gusts as high as 70 mph during the storm. But while some areas of western Kane County had

Respectful disagreement should be expected

By Wednesday morning, Renee Goier was at work in her new position as Kaneland School District 302’s interim superintendent. She was smiling and said she was excited about the 100 days she will serve in the position.

It ended a week of uncertainty about the district’s leadership after Ken Sorrick, who previously was hired for that role, resigned the day after his introduction at a school board meeting. In his letter of resignation, acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request by the Kane County Chronicle, Sorrick cited issues with the demeanor of a “certain board member” as the reason he so quickly departed.

Goier’s hiring brings some necessary closure to the situation for Kaneland, and it’s important that the school board turn its focus to the greater issue of a permanent replacement for the former superintendent, Jeff Schuler, who started this week in the same role at Wheaton Warrenville District 200. The next step is to hire a search firm to identify candidates.

But there are questions that remain from the episode, and the situation does provide an opportunity for the Kaneland district and the community to seek some answers.

Should Sorrick, who by all accounts was a well-respected, greatly experienced retired school administrator, have known that the district has an outspoken board member? He didn’t name Tony Valente in his resignation letter, but Valente was the only board member who voted against Sorrick’s installation as interim superintendent. Perhaps a simple Internet search could have provided Sorrick with some idea that Valente often makes controversial statements at meetings.

Should school board members have made clear with interim superintendent candidates during the interview process that they might encounter some scrutiny? Valente isn’t the only board member who asks tough questions.

It’s right that these elected officials point out issues when they arise and are not afraid to vote against measures when they feel it’s necessary. Goier seems to get it. She said she expects “to have lots of questions about the work I do.” She said “respectful disagreement is part of any working group.”

That is a message everybody in the Kaneland community should embrace. Respectful disagreement should be expected – not silent and unanimous approval 100 percent of the time and not personal attacks.

ANOTHER VIEW

Common Core makes states answer for dumbed-down education BLOOMBERG NEWS There is nothing sacred about Common Core, the educational standards that are attracting renewed criticism as the school year begins. The standards, which are intended to ensure that students graduate from high school prepared to do college-level work, were not handed down from the heavens on stone tablets. They are a major improvement over previous standards in most states, but they remain a work in progress.

Teachers, students and parents will all experience growing pains as they adjust to changing standards, and proponents of Common Core should take those complaints seriously and make necessary adjustments. At the same time, the standards represent a new baseline for student achievement.

Any state that withdraws from Common Core, or that rejects it outright, has a responsibility to put forward measures that are equally high or higher.

One state already has failed that test: Oklahoma, which repealed Common Core in June and reverted to its previous academic standards. South Carolina has also pulled out, but it wisely delayed

the move until the 2015-16 school year, giving itself time to develop and adopt its own college-readiness benchmarks, a step Indiana took this year.

The nation’s governors developed Common Core in response to concerns that the dumbing down of standards in some places had left students at the middle and back of the pack on international tests. The governors did not, as is often thought, devise a national curriculum, which remains the province of states and local school districts. Whatever textbooks or pedagogical methods districts choose to use is their business, so long as students master the skills required.

More than 40 states remain committed to Common Core. A handful have adopted cosmetic tweaks or cut their ties with the consortium that develops tests geared to the standards. That is their right.

After unsuccessfully trying to withdraw Louisiana from Common Core over the objections of his hand-selected superintendent of education, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is now suing the Obama administration, claiming it forced the new benchmarks upon the

states. That’s a creative legal argument, since Jindal himself enthusiastically and voluntarily signed up for Common Core in 2010.

Jindal complains that the Obama administration has tied federal funding to the adoption of Common Core. As he surely knows, however, states (such as Texas) that choose not to embrace Common Core can adopt their own college-readiness standards without losing federal funding, provided the Department of Education or their state college system signs off on them.

Indiana earned federal approval for its new measures because they resemble Common Core’s.

Oklahoma did not because the old standards it kept are not tied to the new college-readiness levels.

Jindal, meanwhile, is unlikely to succeed in court, and that’s good news for schoolchildren in Louisiana, which ranks 48th out of 50 states in educational achievement, ahead of only West Virginia and Mississippi.

Education remains the domain of the states. But if they want federal education money, they have to raise their standards and start sending more kids to college who are actually ready to do the work.

Officers Timothy Beam and Timothy Ocasek each received the St. Charles Police Department’s Life Saving Award, and Officer Jeff Finley received the department’s Distinguished Service Award.

Too many questions The Batavia School District has never completely maintained the storage building on the high school property. Whenever a repair was needed, the school board found other uses for the needed money. Now, the building needs more than $130,000 to bring the building up to acceptable standards. The school board is reviewing leasing a building on Main Street, built in 1956, and per the Batavia Assessors Office, has a value of under $300,000. The lease would be $12,000 a month or $144,000 a year, for a term of 10 years – a cost to the Batavia taxpayers of $1.4 million. The Batavia School Board won’t invest $130,000 to repair and existing building on school property, but will spend $1.4 million to lease a building that is older than the high school. This is the same school board that wants the taxpayers to approve a blank check of $15 million for a bond issue in November.

Can this school board been trusted when they are investing more than $1.4 million for a $300,000 building?

In addition to their awards, Beam and Ocasek each received a small ribbon they will wear on their uniforms for the rest of their career.

Geneva snares marquee win over Richards

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com GENEVA – After escaping defending Class 6A state runner-up Richards on Friday night, it’s a good bet the next time the Vikings are tested this seriously at Burgess Field this season, it’ll be a home playoff game.

The Vikings can continue thinking big after a credibility-bolstering 22-19 victory against Richards to improve to 2-0 on the season.

“Our coach was telling us, this is like a second round, third round playoff game, and we get it in the second game of the season,” Geneva junior Justin Taormina said. “So it was a great challenge for us, and I was glad we were able to accept the challenge.”

Trailing by two touchdowns at halftime, Richards (1-1) tightened the game down the stretch. Romeo Johnson’s second rushing touchdown of the second half brought the Bulldogs within the final margin with 2:31 to play in the fourth quarter.

Richards, with all three timeouts remaining, bypassed an onside attempt and kicked away, a strategy that looked promising as Geneva faced a third-and-10 from its own 38yard line with 2:08 to play.

But Vikings quarterback Daniel Santacaterina found 6-7 receiver Mike Landi on a slant route for a 14-yard gain and back-breaking first down, enabling the Vikings to run all but the last few seconds off the clock.

Landi is establishing himself as a quality possession receiver and strong complement to field-stretching classmate Pace Temple.

“Coach was saying ‘It’s going to be there, it’s going to be there, just go to the wide side,’ ” Landi said of the crucial third-down reception. “They only had one guy out there. We were working all week on those slants, ins, curls, everything coming back to the ball.”

The Vikings led, 14-0, at halftime, punctuated by a 17yard TD pass from Santacaterina to Taormina with just 9 seconds left in the half. Santacaterina retained composure in the face of a heavy Richards

pass rush before spotting the sliding Taormina open in the end zone.

“I was doubting myself a little bit, but glad I got the catch,” Taormina said.

Taormina, seeing extensive action with senior running back Liam Burns injured, also delivered Geneva’s lone

touchdown of the second half, a 29-yard TD run with 5:53 left in the fourth quarter. A bad snap on the point after try allowed Temple, Geneva’s holder, to flash his speed rolling to his right, and his two-point conversion made it a two-possession game at 22-13.

The Vikings’ opening TD was a Santacaterina to Temple deep ball, a 74-yard connection in the first quarter. While that play might have many in the large crowd anticipating another offensive outburst similar to last week at West Aurora, Geneva’s offense – especially a lukewarm running game – was overshadowed by a solid defensive showing, counter to the program’s norm in recent seasons.

Geneva coach Rob Wicinski called the game a “huge confidence-builder for our defense.” The Vikings had five

sacks, with defensive linemen Matt Loberg and Stephen Kemp crippling Richards drives by dropping explosive Bulldogs quarterback Hasan Muhammad-Rogers for major losses.

“I’m really pleased with the defense,” Wicinski said. “If we can get some run game going, we could be dangerous.”

Penalties and sacks proved Richards’ undoing in the opening half as the Bulldogs retreated backward too frequently to cash in on promising drives. A missed 25-yard field goal in the second quarter allowed the Vikings to milk their shutout longer and loomed large given the final margin.

Santacaterina was 20 for 30 passing for 304 yards with two TDs and an interception.

Temple had six catches for 156 yards, including a 39-yard

catch on a risky fourth-and-11 play from the Vikings’ own 32.

With the Vikings’ remaining home games this regular season coming against Elgin, West Chicago and Larkin, Richards was – by far – the marquee attraction on the home schedule.

Wicinski acknowledged dissecting tape from rival Batavia’s 6A state championship game rout of Richards last November.

“Actually, [Batavia coach Dennis Piron] was great,” Wicinski said. “He sent every Richards tape over that he had, and we really appreciate that. That was really cool of him.

“It was good ideas. It was tough watching it. It hurt my stomach. I had the garbage can next to me, and I fought through it, so it was worth it to fight through that tape.”

Then, the schedule offers aid. Starting with its Week 3 homecoming game against Larkin, Batavia plays teams with losing 2013 records in three of the next five weeks.

Glenbard North lost Gasiorowski to a head injury late in the second half, but Batavia’s defense had set the tone by then, including

a third-quarter safety with Hlava leading the charge on a sack.

route to a 2-7 finish, but the outlook is far more rosy this time around.

First, there’s the personnel. A number of key contributors are back from last season’s Class 6A state championship team, while the newcomers – namely quarterbacks Evan Acosta and Kyle Niemiec, who again split time Friday – are steadily steering

of their five in the first half.

The first score was a product of a short field, punctuated by Niemiec’s 37-yard touchdown pass to junior Canaan Coffey.

The shifty Coffey, the fourth and youngest of his Batavia football-playing brothers, shook a tackler at the Glenbard North 30 and raced to the end zone with 1:48 to play in the first quarter.

On the next drive, a 62-yarder, a determined running game buoyed by a veteran offensive line took charge.

Although Frazier earned the scoring play with a two-yard plunge off left guard, the drive featured runs of 12, 5 and 6 yards from junior tailback Zach Garrett, who came untracked after early frustration.

Garrett finished with 90 yards on 22 carries, including a six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that provided a 23-6 lead with the point after.

“It’s that mentality that, ‘We’re going to run the football and everyone knows it, but they can’t stop them,’ ” Frazier said.

CAROL STREAM – So much for suspense.

After producing a pair of early heart-stoppers the past two football seasons, Batavia and Glenbard North succumbed to the law of averages Friday.

More specifically, it was the Panthers’ struggles with Batavia’s defensive front seven that produced a 23-12 Bulldogs win.

With linebacker Jake Hlava and defensive end Josh Leonhard storming into the backfield with regularity, Batavia kept Glenbard North quarterback Brett Gasiorowski and the Panthers’ running backs in check apart from just a few plays.

The field position, momentum and confidence that afforded the offense was especially palpable on Batavia’s two first-half scoring drives.

Six sacks will do that to a team.

“Oh, absolutely,” Hlava said. “The intensity was at an all-time high. We were coming after them the whole game.

All 11 guys were just coming after them. Pursuit was great.

We were all playing as a team.

It was awesome.”

Batavia (1-1) improved to 3-0 against perennial 8A power Glenbard North under coach Dennis Piron, although this was the widest margin of victory by far. The Panthers (0-2) were chasing at least two scores for much of the night other than early in the third quarter, when junior running back Devion Hodges darted untouched for a 71-yard score on the first play after Batavia’s opening punt.

That cut a 14-0 halftime deficit to eight points after the extra point failed, but Batavia, motivated by last week’s last-second loss to Oswego, didn’t sulk. Or budge.

“I don’t think it scared us,” senior running back/defensive end Noah Frazier said.

“We’ve been in situations like that before.”

Batavia avoided falling to two games below .500 for the first time since Week 4 of the 2009 season. Then, a Week 4 loss put the Bulldogs at 1-3 en

mdefabo@shawmedia.com ALGONQUIN – The game was billed as St. Charles East vs. Jacobs.

In reality, it came down to a pair of dominant running backs: St. Charles East’s Ramon Lopez against Jacobs’ Josh Walker.

Lopez, a powerful runner inside the tackles, edged Walker in yards, 176-171. But Walker, a shifty back who got to the edge and eluded defenders with a spin move, scored three touchdowns to Lopez’s two.

This margin was reflected on the scoreboard, as well, where the Golden Eagles ran away from the Saints, 49-20, at Jacobs High School.

The loss drops the Saints to 0-2 on the season and lifts the Eagles to 1-1.

The Saints took a 6-0 lead with less than a minute remaining in the first quarter.

The Golden Eagles answered back with three straight touchdowns, including two in a span of 19 seconds, before Lopez scored again to cut the Golden Eagles’ lead to 21-14 going into the half.

Knights’ offense dominates Marshall

By TRAVIS ZUELLIG sports@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK — After the Kaneland football team struggled with turnovers in its week one win over Brooks, the Knights were looking to show that they can click on all cylinders on offense.

Despite sporadic rain throughout Friday’s game, junior quarterback Jake Marczuk completed 20-of-26 passes for 221 yards and four touchdowns, and his favorite target, Connor Fedderly, caught 10 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown to lead the Knights to a 49-6 rout over Marshall.

“We played really well as a team, and it all starts with the offensive line,” said Marczuk

said. “I had great protection in the pocket. I have quick receivers going all over the place. I just have to hit them and really, after the catch, it is all them.”

Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said his squad played well dealing with the weather.

“We spread it around and try to get it to a lot of guys in space,” Tom Fedderly said. “It doesn’t matter what elements we play in. If we play late in the year, we are going to have to

play in this stuff.”

The Knights opened last week’s game with three straight fumbles. Against Marshall on Friday, Kaneland scored a touchdown on four of the its five first-half possessions.

Marczuk threw touchdown passes to Tyler Paulson, Kevin Fuchs and Connor Fedderly.

Marczuk also ran one if for a score.

“Our offense did a lot better this week after four turnovers last week. So, we are really happy with it,” Tom Fedderly said. “I do the easy part. The line blocks and Jake throws and I just make the catches.”

On the other side of the ball, the Kaneland defense had no problem stopping the Commandoes. Marshall’s only

The Knights held Marshall to 92 totals yards. The dominating Kaneland defense has only allowed 14 points in two games.

“We only gave up six points,” Tom Fedderly said.

“Our defense has been lights out this year so far.”

Outside of Connor Fedderly, Mitchel Groen was another

top target with six catches for 59 yards and one touchdown.

Paulson pulled in four passes for 59 yards. The Knights’ leading rusher was Giovanni Regelado. The junior rushed for 61 yards on four carries – all on one possession.

AURORA – The Marmion football team marched through the visiting Ottawa Pirates, 38-7, on Friday at Fichtel Field.

The Cadets wore down the Pirates using 11 carries and rushing for 275 yards.

Junior Lucas Warren stole the show for the Cadets, rushing for 143 yards and four touchdowns.

The Cadets’ run game was not the only thing working.

Marmion’s defense held the Pirates to 15 total yards in the first half. The combination of wet grass and the aggressive Cadet defense gave Ottawa game-long problems.

Dan Thorpe said.

The momentum swung in favor of the Cadets (2-0) in the first quarter when senior Patrick Zolfo pounced on muffed punt by the Pirates deep in their territory. That turnover led to a Warren rushing touchdown and gave Marmion a 10-0 lead.

Marmion then proceeded to score 28 unanswered points.

Ottawa’s only score came in the fourth quarter on a 75-yard scamper by senior Josh Williams. He finished his night

with 97 yards on 12 carries.

Overall, the Cadets controlled the pace of the game.

“We’re doing the little things that good teams do,” Thorpe said.

Sophomore kicker Connor Hoeft had a perfect night converting four extra points as well as netting a 33-yard field goal in the first quarter.

Quarterbacks Rusty Joyce and Johnny Tate combined to have only two completions on the night but both led to scores.

With under 9 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Eli Baltazar had a strip fumble returned for a touchdown, making to increase Marmion’s lead to 38-0.

The Cadets visit rival St. Francis next week in what will be a battle of 2-0 teams.

By JARED BIRCHFIELD editorial@kcchronicle.com WHEATON – The St. Francis defense flexed its muscles in the team’s 42-0 drubbing of Plainfield South on Friday.

Not only did the Spartans’ defenders force the Cougars to punt on eight of their 10 possessions, but they also forced two turnovers, returned an intercepted pass for a TD and stopped Plainfield South a yard away from the goal line.

“They play every snap hard and played for each other,” said St. Francis coach Mike Fitgerald. “We talk about creating takeaways and they did a good job getting the momentum going our way right away.

Their relentless pursuit of the football made good things happen.”

The defense set up the first Spartan touchdown when it recovered a fumble on Plainfield South’s first punt return of the game.

St. Francis quarterback Clint Bobowski scored a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage after the recovery on a 31-yard run at the 9:55 mark of the first quarter.

the Spartans’ lead to 14-0 when he scored on a 46-yard run with 2 minutes left in the first period.

Fifteen seconds into the second quarter, St. Francis (2-0) increased its lead to 21 points.

The Spartans’ Michael Shaw intercepted a Braden Lentin pass and returned it 34 yards for a TD “The D-line put on the pressure and he threw it high and it went right to me,” Shaw said.

Bobowski (16 for 29 for 146 yard with one interception) added two more TDs in the second period to give his team a 35-0 halftime lead. He scored his second touchdown of the night on a 64-yard run early in the third quarter.

With the clock winding down to halftime, the senior playmaker connected with wide receiver Jack Ahern for a 24-yard scoring pass.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush ably manageable.

But where are those three or four wins if the Bears open with a loss to Buffalo?

In case you don’t get the Bickersons reference, the Bills have been reported to be a franchise in disarray. It is well known the Wilson family is lame duck ownership as the team is for sale with a deal expected shortly. A situation that always leaves top management less than comfortable.

It wouldn’t be surprising if team president Russ Brandon, general manager Doug Whaley and coach Doug Marrone are all spending more time looking over their shoulders than they are at their players, playbooks and game plans.

A report by CBS’ Jason La Canfora on the Friday before the opener alleges a pier six verbal brawl took place between Marrone, Whaley and Marrone recently on the practice field with all three swearing at each other within earshot of the full team.

If accurate, how’s that for a pregame warmup?

Have Bills players been affected in the same way coaching and management appears to be by its current limbo? Or could it be a positive that will cause them to circle the wagons and go with the old all for one and one for all mantra?

Still, if the Bears are actual playoff contenders, this is a game they have to win.

They do win if their offensive line can play the Bills’ three Pro Bowlers up front, Mario Williams, Marcel Dareus and Kyle Williams to a draw, and if their all new defensive line is a huge improvement over last year.

The Bears are not better at linebacker or in the secondary.

I guess it’s appropriate with such dramatic change for the Bears that Week 1 will be decided by the Bears’ defensive line.

Are they as good as advertised? They better be good enough.

PREP ROUNDUP

Burlington Central falls short on road DIXON – It was there all night.

The Burlington Central football team had the height advantage on the edges with its big wide receiver Brenden Bushy, and Rockets quarterback Robert Doubek tried to get him the ball.

It worked for a a 20-yard score when the two connected with 5:54 to play in the fourth quarter, but on the final drive, when the two needed a big play, they came up short.

The Rockets lost to Dixon at A.C. Bowers Field, 20-13, on a damp Friday night, falling to 0-2.

“We did things that we can’t do if we want to win football games,” Rockets coach Rich Crabel said. “We didn’t block well enough and we didn’t tackle well enough.”

The offensive line was

shaky as the Dukes put pressure on Doubek all game, including three sacks.

As the game wore on, the junior quarterback became more and more aware of the intense pressure and wasn’t able to get the ball downfield for the big plays that were there.

The athleticism of the Rockets receivers often beat the Dixon secondary, but dropped passes and lack of time to let the play develop foiled those chances.

“That Bushy kid, we just need to get him the ball,” Crabel said. “He’s so big and it’s tough for kids to come and take the ball from him.”

Dixon scored twice in the first quarter to go up 13-0, before the Doubek and Bushy connected on a 14-yard touchdown pass to bring the score to 13-7.

Doubek found Bushy in

the endzone again late in the fourth to bring the score to 2013 after the missed PAT.

Aurora Christian 49, Bronzeville 6: At Chicago, Aurora Christian improved to 2-0 behind a solid night from quarterback Austin Bray and steady tackling from the defense.

“We’re improving week to week,” Eagles coach Dave Beebe said, “and that’s what you want.”

ACC-Lisle postponed: At Lisle, Aurora Central Catholic’s game against Lisle at Benedictine University was postponed to 10 a.m. today because of inclement weather.

ACC is coming off a season-opening, 21-7, victory at Wauwatosa (Wis.) East. Lisle defeated Peotone, 33-21, in its opener.

What exactly are the Bears walking into in their 2014 season opener Sunday at Soldier Field against the Buffalo Bills?

For starters, it’s a game they must win.

What’s that I say, a mustwin on the opening Sunday of the season?

In general manager Phil Emery’s own words, the Bears have been built to contend for a championship this year.

Coach Marc Trestman was given high marks in his first season in spite of taking over a 10-6 ballclub and leading them to an 8-8 finish.

A loss to the battling Bickersons – coming off a 6-10 campaign of their own – in the home opener would minimally send the wrong message to everyone connected to the Bears.

Worse than that, the Bears follow Buffalo with five of seven on the road, including trips to San Francisco, the N.Y. Jets, Carolina, Atlanta and New England and one of their home opponents is the Packers, who have fared quite well of late at Soldier Field.

Starting at 4-4 at the halfway point would leave the Bears playoff hopes in pretty good shape, and even 3-5 prob-

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Stranding eight runners in scoring position with two outs while batting 2 for 12 with men in scoring position overall hardly fazed the Cougars on Thursday.

“The dugout’s pretty calm,” left-hander Michael Heesch said. “We’re a very relaxed team. We like to have fun, we like to enjoy it, you know. Everybody’s not too tight out there, or anything like that.

That’s good everyone’s calm and collected a n d e v e r y - Mark Johnson thing.”

That resolve came in handy as the Cougars needed 13 innings to defeat Wisconsin, 4-3, in Game 2 of their first-round Midwest League playoff series and advance to the Western Division finals.

The Cougars begin the bestof-3 series in Cedar Rapids tonight before hosting the Kernels in Game 2 at 6 p.m.

Sunday.

Game 3, if necessary, also would be at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark and begin at 6 p.m.

Monday.

By now, the Cougars have adapted to just about any kind of variable en route to a regular season that saw the club win a franchise-record 91 games.

For a team featuring just 10 players who broke spring training with the Cougars, the tentativeness of a postseason schedule barely registers.

“They’ve been extremely consistent. They’ve been extremely consistent all year,” Cougars manager Mark Johnson said. “To be in [Class]-A, they’re extremely professional with the way they go about their business and the quality of work that they do and they put in daily. They never take days off. It’s just been a pleasure to watch, and it’s a pleasure to coach guys like that, that come in every day and want your help and they want to get better and they have an aptitude to get

better.”

During the regular season, the Cougars led the 16-team MWL with a 2.85 team ERA and ranked second with a .261 batting average.

Johnson, a White Sox first-round draft pick in 1994, earned league manager of the year honors in his fourth season with the parent Cubs’ organization.

“Mark’s done a good job.

This team has been good quality all year,” said Wisconsin manager and former Cougar Matt Erickson. “Tough to beat. You’ve got to beat them.

They don’t beat themselves too often.”

Olt’s crystal ball: As expected, rehabbing infielder Mike Olt (hamstring) joined the Cubs on Friday after a twogame stint with the Cougars that included a pair of dramatic home runs.

Olt’s return to the major leagues – where he spent 72 games to begin the season – reunited him with former Triple-A Iowa teammates Javier Baez and Jorge Soler, whose recent promotions to the Cubs have reignited part of the fan base.

“I knew they were going to do really well. They’re special players,” Olt said. “The Cubs have a lot of special players coming up, and it’s definitely going to be real exciting.

Going down [to Triple-A] those first couple games, it was [Kris] Bryant, Baez, Soler, Manny [Ramirez], myself in the middle of the order.

It’s fun to play. You can see what could really come when there’s a lot of pressure on the pitcher, put a lot of pressure on the defense. So it’s going to be fun.”

Et cetera: The Cougars have won at least one series in eight of the franchise’s 14 playoff appearances. … All kids from ages 3 to 10 will receive a voucher for a free hot dog and soda at Sunday’s game.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS AT NORTHWESTERN, 2:30 P.M. TODAY (BIG TEN NETWORK, AM-560, 92.5-FM)

Huskies enjoying shot at Northwestern

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com DeKALB – It’s not often the Huskies, who have been the most successful team in Illinois over the past few years, get to go up against one of their major conference counterparts.

Saturday at Evanston’s Ryan Field, Northern Illinois gets a shot at the Northwestern Wildcats for the first time since 2005.

The last time the Huskies went up against one of their Big Ten foes ended in a loss at Illinois in 2010.

Back in 2005, the Huskies had a shot at the Wildcats, suffering a one-point loss on a failed two-point conversion with less than 10 seconds to go.

NIU senior cornerback Paris Logan said this game has an exciting feel to it.

“Yes because we want to prove ourselves and it is kind of a battle of the state, so we want to put our name out there and prove that we are

Northern Illinois quarterback Matt McIntosh gets past Presbyterian defenders Kevin Crawford (22) and Donelle Williamson (32) as he runs for a first down during the first quarter of an Aug. 28 game at Huskie Stadium in DeKalb. the best team,” he said.

A win Saturday would be Northern Illinois’ first against either the Wildcats or Fighting Illini. NIU is 0-4 against

Illinois and 0-6-1 against the Wildcats.

However, who knows when the Huskies will get their next shot against either team after

Saturday’s game is completed.

NIU coach Rod Carey was asked about the possible opportunity to play the in-state schools more often, and he said it’s something that’s been discussed.

“Yeah, we’ve talked about that before. I think as soon as you start doing that, then where do you draw the line on everything? Is there a line now that you don’t play the FCS schools and you do play the FBS schools? Do you just play it all no matter what? I think strength of schedule comes into play when you talk about doing that under the new format that we’re in now,” he said. “I think there’s a lot that goes into that other than me just sitting up here and saying yeah I’d like to play them all the time. There’s a lot more discussion that has to go into that.”

When it comes to going up against the Big Ten, NIU has been no slouch against the league recently, as the Huskies beat both Iowa and Purdue last season.

“... We want to prove ourselves and it is kind of a battle of the state, so we want to put our name out there and prove that we are the best team.”

Paris Logan NIU senior cornerback

Will that success carry over?

“A little bit, I guess we’re a little more confident knowing that we’ve gone into two Big Ten teams in the past year and came out with wins, but at the same time you still have to do the work during the week, you still have to put in the film time, the practice time and the vibe is just to go over there and take care of business,” senior linebacker Michael Santacaterina said.

“That’s the vibe every week and we’re just expecting to win a football game.”

WEEKEND LIFE Carpooling chronicles of teenage girls You haven’t lived if you’ve never carpooled a bunch of revved-up teenage girls home after soccer practice on a muggy day.

This particular species of human, the teenage girl, lives out loud. At the top of her lungs. But four of them at once? An experience to behold.

“Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?

Say yes, say yes ’cause I need to know You say I’ll never get your blessing ’til the day I die ‘Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is ‘No’’” It was intense, Thursday night, having all of that zippy girl-power trapped

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose inside one little car. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t sing along. No way could I sustain my preoccupation with deadlines, debts and dog poop (so when’s my dear first born gonna pick it up, anyway?) with a chorus of contagious good vibes energetically swirling about.

“Why you gotta be so rude?

Don’t you know I’m human too?

Why you gotta be so rude?

I’m gonna marry her anyway.”

When Holly turned up the volume on the refrain of the catchy tune “Rude,” it occurred to me that she’s been doing that a lot lately – turning up the volume.

In the past, it was always me who cranked up the volume on the car radio, much to her dismay. But it seems we’ve crossed a threshold of sorts.

Now, she’s the one who wants it loud. Must be something encoded in our genes, that kicks in 13 years, four months and two days after birth, that requires loud music to sustain life. It’s impossible to resist being swept up in that frenzy, with a girl and her kind.

I hope they never lose this beautiful fearlessness. (That said, it’s no wonder the law says kids cannot have more than one non-related friend (to them) in

Fall planting for spring blooms You may have noticed the fall bulb catalogs are starting to arrive. It’s time to take a look around your yard and decide what colors and varieties of spring bloomers you might want to include in your beds for next year.

Keep in mind you may also have previously planted bulbs that will re-bloom in spring. What better way to welcome spring than with the tiny green shoots of a spring flower!

The variety and color possibilities are endless. When making your decision, keep in mind sun or shade exposure recommendations. Whether you order or buy from a retail store, bulbs should be planted before the soil freezes.

October and early November are the ideal time to plant in our zone.

Most mail order (or on-line) bulb companies ship when it is time to plant. Make sure to look for zone 5 appropriate bulbs when ordering as they may ship all over the country.

Bulbs should be firm, not mushy, and must be kept in a cool, dark, dry location until planted.

Directions for planting are often included on the packaging. Make sure to plant at the indicated depth which is usually 3-6 inches from the top of the bulb. There are tools available at your local hardware store or garden center to make this process easier.

The bulb must be placed in the hole with the sprouting end up. This is often difficult to determine. I look

the car at a time, the first year they’re behind the wheel without a parent.

Whoa!)

“Marry that girl Marry her anyway Marry that girl Yeah, no matter what you say Marry that girl And we’ll be a family…”

My girl and her tribe. For now, I’m along for the ride. So what if I’m just the chauffeur. Carpool? Yeah, I’m down for that.

The colors of spring flowering bulbs, such as tulips, can be quite dramatic.

LEARNING TO GROW Darlie Simerson for the pointed end (sprout or shoot end) with tiny roots visible at the opposite end. Bulbs can vary quite a bit in appearance. A bulb fertilizer may be applied at the time of planting following the manufacturers’ directions.

The actual blooming time of bulbs can vary from very early spring (Crocus may bloom while there is

still snow on the ground.) to early summer.

Colors can be quite dramatic.

Some examples of spring flowering bulbs include daffodils, crocus, tulips, hyacinth and allium to name a few.

Plant these bulbs in the fall and watch for a reward of beautiful blooms come spring!

In my counseling practice, I see a lot of couples who are struggling with problems in their marriages; problems that usually stem from poor communication.

The focus of this column is on a particular precipitator of communication breakdown … personality differences, and specifically, when opposites attract.

One specific personality combination that occurs frequently in marriages is the introvert/extrovert duo. Opposites do attract and for better or for worse these couples can either enhance one another or forever drive each other crazy.

Generally speaking, introverts do their thinking in the privacy of their own heads.

They prefer to have quiet periods in their days so that they can recharge their energy and process their thoughts without the interference of noise and conversation.

You see, they are like sponges, taking everything in before they squeeze anything out. And like a sponge, they can only absorb so much; so don’t overload them or you’ll have an angry mess to clean up.

Although introverts represent about 40 percent of the world’s population, they make up around 80 percent of the gifted people in the world. Why? Because they think deeply before they offer their opinion. They devote a lot of alone time to mastering their art.

and at other times will demand the quiet comfort away from crowds.

We don’t inherit these tendencies from our parents or from our upbringing, as some may think, but have them as a result of the physiology of our brains.

One study found that introverts have more blood flow in the frontal lobes of their brain and in the anterior or frontal thalamus, which are areas dealing with internal processing such as planning and problem solving. Extroverts have more blood flow in the anterior cingulate gyrus, temporal lobes, and posterior thalamus, which are involved in sensory and emotional experience.

Now that we understand a little bit about the differences between the two, let’s look at the impact that this combination has on a marriage.

Problems occur when conflicts arise, as each navigates through these challenges differently. Extroverts want to talk it over and over, and over, dramatically delivering their monologue until all the oxygen has left the room. They get frustrated with the response from their introverted partner, who heard it all the first time and now just wants you to BE QUIET. If it can’t be summed up

in as brief a manner as possible, they’d rather not be a part of the conversation.

Extroverts want the answers right now, where their opposite introverts would rather take the information back to their quiet study and ponder it for a while, and if it’s not important to them, forget about it altogether.

Once an introvert delivers an opinion though, it is usually one that is well thought out. If you put both of these types on a deserted island and ask each to find food, water and shelter, the extrovert would take off like a rabbit running in all different directions, while the introvert, like a turtle would stand still and think. Both might very well come to the same conclusions … one a little quicker, but the other with a lot less sweat.

Because our society recognizes the extroverted person as being the “norm” and measures everything else against that type, the introverted person often grows up feeling different, or even stupid. These feelings can cause them to develop defenses to protect themselves from hurt. These avoidance behaviors can take the form of anger, insults or one-word answers all designed to make the fast talking extrovert STOP

TALKING. What really needs to happen is for both to recognize that the different processing styles exist, and work to form a manner of communicating that recognizes and values the strengths of both types.

If you think you are married to “one of those,” then you might want to do some more research into these fascinating personality types. I’d recommend reading The Happy Introvert by Elizabeth Wagele or The Introvert Extrovert in Love

by Marti Olsen Laney. There are many articles available online as well as a nifty test that you can take to see which one you are. Just do a search under introvert or extrovert.

Extroverts on the other hand, prefer the stimulating company of others. Put them in a room alone and in less than two minutes they will be on their cell phones.

Extroverts feel energized and do their best thinking when exchanging ideas with others. They think while they are talking. They are more apt to try new things and do not shy away from asking directions. They are less likely to develop deep depression, as they are able to process their emotions outside of themselves. Most extroverts require many friends and can make them quickly.

Extroversion and introversion should be viewed as a single continuum. We all fall somewhere on the line. Everyone has both an extroverted side and an introverted side, with one being more dominant than the other.

Ambiversion is a term used to describe people who fall closest to the middle of the continuum and exhibit equal tendencies of both groups. An ambivert enjoys the company of others at times

ees after the walk concludes, with food, drink, entertainment and an art exhibit.

(Witty!) career advice from David Sedaris

By LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM The Washington Post WASHINGTON – We sat down in The Washington Post’s audio studio with David Sedaris, the American humorist and the author of story collections including “Me Talk Pretty One Day” and most recently “Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls.” That (funny) conversation with Sedaris became a recording to launch our new weekly On Leadership podcast series.

Some of the other highlights from our conversation: ••• When asked who had the biggest influence on Sedaris’s own character: I think my father. One thing you can say about my father is that he’s not a hypocrite. My father didn’t want us to smoke, so he quit smoking.

My father is the most disciplined person probably I’ve ever known. He would get up in the morning – we would laugh at him – he would get up and do these little exercises in the living room in his underpants. Every single morning. I don’t know if you can inherit discipline, but I never expected things to happen if you didn’t work every single day at them.

I think, too, perhaps, from going to art school and being around artsy people before then, you start noticing how many people talk about being an artist of one sort or another but you never see them actually doing anything. All they do is talk about it. I think those people made me think more about my dad — that it was better not to talk about it, but just to go into a room and do it.

••• On what influenced his well-known habit of taking a lot of time with readers at book signings and events: When I first moved to Chicago, there was a bookstore near me called the Unabridged Bookstore. I remember I went and saw

The Washington Post image

David Sedaris is an American humorist and the author of story collections including “Me Talk Pretty One Day” and, most recently, “Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls.” this author and I bought her book – it was a hardcover book, and it was a lot of money at the time. I waited in line and when I got up there she didn’t look at me, she didn’t talk to me. She was talking to her publicist about what she was going to do for dinner. And I felt so betrayed.

I just thought, I believed in you. And this was a lot of money. If it’s ever me at that table, things are going to be different.

So, I was at Harvard’s bookstore the night before last and I signed books for 8 hours and 45 minutes.

People were like, “Well, let me let you go.”

I keep them so long at the table that they’re just desperate to get away from me. I mean, it took that long because I talk to everybody.

I would never, ever say to anybody, “Well, there are a lot of people here,” or, “Thanks for coming.”

There have been a few times the bookstore has come in and said something to that effect, and I get upset.

I say, “Don’t! That person is probably burning with shame now. I don’t ever want to make someone feel that way. That’s

not how I want to be doing this.”

People always come and they’ll say, “This must be exhausting.”

And I think, what would possibly make you think that?

It’s people standing in line to say how much they love you.

It’s, like, all I ever dreamed of.

••• When asked if he thinks his humor has gotten better with age: If I look at books I wrote a long time ago, I can see myself trying too hard. It just fills me with shame.

You should never let people see you trying. Quite often young people will give me their writing, and I see them doing it. And they’re kids – they’ll grow out of it.

I grew out of it too. The only problem is I had some books that were written before I grew out of it.

••• On what writing does for Sedaris: It defines my mood, it defines my day. I don’t know that it’s cathartic. But I write in my diary every morning and nothing quite makes

sense to me until I put it on paper. I’m often ashamed of myself. That’s the beauty of a diary, though. It’s not for anyone else, so you’re not being a phony in it.

I said to someone the other day – I don’t know who I was trying to kid – I said, “It’s not that hard being nice to people.” Which makes me sound like such a good guy.

Then I thought about it later. And I thought, “No, it’s not that hard to be nice to nice people. It’s really hard to be nice to people who aren’t nice.” That’s work right there.

••• The best piece of advice he received: When the time is right, things will happen. People will come to you.

Everybody is so pushy.

Everybody says, “Well, it’s all who you know.”

I don’t believe that. I think that if you just work really hard, somehow it shows. It makes you a certain kind of person.

And there are other people who are a magnet for the kind of person you are if you’re truly creative.

ADVICE

35

Dear Abby: I’m in desperate need of help. I have been with my girlfriend for four years. With every long-term relationship, there are bound to be issues. I haven’t felt loved by her in a long time, and I think I have fallen out of love with her. I can’t even tell her that I love her anymore because I don’t want to lie.

I want to feel the way I used to about her. When I was near her, my hairs used to stand up.

How can I feel that way about her again? – Wants That Old Feeling Dear Wants: The problem with relationships is that they can only be brand-new once. With the passage of time, to some extent the excitement fades. That’s where the “work” comes in.

Longtime couples must make an effort to keep their relationship fresh and exciting.

You say you haven’t felt loved by her in a long time. My advice would be to talk to her about it.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Because you can’t bring yourself to tell her you love her, has it occurred to you that she might feel as though she has been emotionally abandoned by you?

You and your lady will need to resume communication on a meaningful level. Honesty can revive a relationship that’s wilting.

Dear Abby: I live with my longtime boyfriend in a house he owns. We’re five hours away from my parents and siblings and the town in which I grew up. It’s a beautiful house with lots of land, and I can imagine raising a family here. However, I always thought that if I had children, I’d live close to the rest of my family. I would want my parents nearby so they could lend a hand, and I want my

kids to have a close relationship with their grandparents. My boyfriend is open to the idea of selling the house, but I’m not sure I would want him to. What should I do? – Looking Ahead In New Jersey Dear Looking Ahead: Before you make any decisions, discuss this with your parents and see if their vision of grandparenthood is similar to your fantasy. Be sure that the kind of extended family relationship you envision is realistic.

If everyone is on board, then you and your boyfriend should talk about what relocating will mean in terms of not only selling this house, but also the impact it might have on your ability to earn a living. This property may be terrific, but if it cannot offer you the lifestyle you wish for, then you would be better served to move.

But only you can decide that.

Follow list of strategies to reduce belching Dear Doctor K: I burp constantly. What can I do to stop it?

Dear Reader: Occasional burping usually results when foods produce gas during the digestive process and that gas escapes through your mouth. But if you’re burping frequently, it is almost certainly the result of swallowing air. Many people swallow air when they breathe or speak without even realizing it.

You can probably reduce your belching by making lifestyle changes to decrease the amount of air you swallow. For example, don’t drink through a straw or chew gum. If you smoke, quit.

Getting properly fitted dentures can help too, since loose dentures can also cause you to swallow air.

One relatively common cause of burping and belching is lactose intolerance. Lactose is a type of sugar found in dairy products.

Many people, particularly of African or Asian background, have low levels of lactase, an enzyme that digests lactose. As a result, not all of the lactose can be digested. Burping and belching result, along with diarrhea and passing gas. If you think you may have lactose intolerance, talk to your doctor and see if reducing dairy products improves your

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff symptoms.

If you don’t think you’ve got lactose intolerance, try making some other changes to your diet.

For example, avoid carbonated drinks and whipped desserts, both of which trigger burping. On the other hand, some people include brown rice, barley broth, papaya and pineapple in their diets to reduce their belching. I’m not sure there is scientific evidence of the benefits of such remedies, but some of my patients swear by them. And, in any event, these are all healthy foods.

Whatever you eat, make sure to chew foods slowly. Avoid washing food down with liquids. And try to eat smaller meals.

Take a brisk stroll after eating.

Physical activity encourages food to move through your digestive tract, and it helps relieve bloating and discomfort. Sleep on your stomach or right side. These positions aid in the escape of gas and ease the feeling of fullness.

If belching remains a problem, talk to your doctor. He or she will

probably ask about habits I’ve already mentioned, such as drinking carbonated beverages and chewing gum. Your doctor may also ask about lactose intolerance or other conditions that may cause excess gas.

Your doctor will also want to know about anxiety and psychological problems, since they can contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms. He or she will review your medications. Some drugs – especially those that contain the sugar alcohol sorbitol – can produce gas and bloating.

Your doctor may also refer you to a speech and swallow therapist. This professional can help you modify the way you swallow so that you take in less air. If lifestyle changes aren’t effective, a muscle-relaxant drug can help.

Burping and belching may not be a life-threatening problem, but it sure is embarrassing. And I’ve had patients become less socially active because of this embarrassment. I hope the advice I’ve given leads to a solution for you.

Sexual relationship with Romeo would not be love Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I are not having a sexual relationship just yet, but the way things are going, it is just a matter of time that it will happen – and soon.

I will be prepared with condoms just in case, but getting pregnant is not the only thing I worry about. I’ve heard a lot of rumors that this guy has slept with a lot of girls and I’m really worried most about getting a sexually transmitted disease.

I know that there is no guarantee with condoms and that it is still possible to get pregnant or get a sexually transmitted disease. Is there any way to find out, or any outward signs that he might be infected? – Nameless, Hammond, Louisiana Dear Nameless: It’s not possible to tell by outward appearance if someone has an STD. Most people who are infected look normal, and many are not even aware themselves that they are infected. This increases the chance that they’ll spread their highly contagious disease to others.

Since you claim to be “really worried” about getting an STD, why would you even consider a sexual relationship? A sexual relationship with this Romeo would not be considered sharing love.

It’s just old-fashioned lust!

Dr. Wallace: I’m completely satisfied with the way I look except for the color of my hair. My hair is “mousey” brown, and I feel it robs me of being attractive.

My stepmother likes my brown hair and thinks that changing the color of it would be

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace a mistake. What is your opinion of changing one’s hair color? – Lynn, Indianapolis, Indiana Dear Lynn: Hair colorist, Louis Licari, says that the old stereotypes – romantic redheads, pretty blondes, earthy brunettes – don’t hold true anymore. “No matter what your hair color is,” he says, “if it’s healthy and shiny, you’ll look zesty, confident and more attractive.”

Take Mr. Licari’s advice and make sure your hair is healthy and shiny. Then, if you are still not satisfied with the result, change your hair color.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16, 5 feet 2 inches tall, and weigh 96 pounds. I’ve been trying to gain a little weight, but I still look slim. I’ve been told by my close friend that rumors are going around school that I’m anorexic, and this really bothers me a lot. I eat a lot of good foods such as fruits and veggies, but I don’t eat fattening junk food.

What can I do to stop all these rumors? – Slender and Healthy, Naples, Florida

Dear Slender and Healthy: You don’t need to change your healthy eating habits. Continue to eat nutritious meals, but always eat your lunch with a group.

When your friends see you devour large quantities of healthy food, they’ll know you’re not anorexic.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The errors continue to be produced

CELEBRITY CIPHER

James Joyce said: “A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”

This week, we have seen deals featuring errors by players who are not bridge geniuses, from which we can learn. And here is another. What do you think of the bidding and what should happen in four spades after West leads the heart three?

North’s jump to three spades showed four-card support but less than game-invitational values. With a stronger hand, North would have made a three-heart cue-bid raise. This is an excellent idea because it allows the advancer (or the responder, if South had opened and West overcalled) to show either a weak, distributional raise or a high-card raise.

Should East have rebid four hearts? Yes, perhaps that contract was making. No, because it was almost certain to push South into bidding four spades, which East could not be sure of defeating. Here, though, South was going to bid four spades regardless.

Since West had supported hearts, his low-heart lead guaranteed at least one honor in the suit.

East, hoping that honor was the king, took the first trick with his ace and returned a heart. However, South won with the king and cashed his two top trumps.

When the queen dropped, South claimed.

At trick two, East should have shifted to his singleton diamond.

Here, that would have worked perfectly. West would have won with his ace and given his partner a diamond ruff. East would then have cashed the club ace for down one.
