Lazy person’s guide to going green It’s springtime, and everything is turning green! Are you ready to go green, too? Protecting our environment is essential for a better future. Admittedly, going green can seem daunting at first. I, myself, have struggled to incorporate conservation into a busy lifestyle. Yet, even the smallest actions can create big change. And, in some ways, going green can result in less work and a fatter wallet. Here’s a list of simple ways even the laziest environmentalist can make a difference: • Let your grass grow. Most grass species fare best when kept at least 2½ inches tall. Longer grass has more surface area to absorb sunlight, meaning thicker turf and deeper roots. Letting grass clippings remain on your lawn adds nitrogen to the soil and discourages weed seeds from germinating. Ultimately, a low maintenance

PARK PERSPECTIVES Natalie Seidel lawn requires less fertilizer, herbicide and watering. • Change a light bulb. Replace old bulbs with compact fluorescent – or CFL – bulbs. They consume about 75 percent less electricity and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs – saving time and money. • Be label conscious. When replacing a household appliance, choose a product with an Environmental Protection Agency-sponsored Energy Star label. These labels guarantee energy-efficiency and might come with tax credit eligibility. Look into it at www.energystar.gov. • Do less laundry. Washing just a few clothes or dishes at a time rather than waiting for a full load to accumulate wastes water, power and

money. Combining half loads, choosing short cycles and using cold or warm water rather than hot racks up savings. • Unplug things that glow. Anything with an LED (light emitting diode) that glows even after you turn it off continues to draw power – that you pay for. Likely culprits include your TV, cellphone charger, printer and laptop. Instead, plug these devices into power strips, and cut the flow of electricity by flipping the strip switch when leaving the room. • Go shopping. Two small purchases can greatly reduce your waste – reusable bags and water bottles. Plus, picking out fun colors, prints and shapes can be quite a treat. • Opt out. Sign up to opt out of pre-screened credit offers at www.optoutprescreen. com and save yourself the trouble of tossing out unsolicited mail. And finally, why not go

green with Peck Farm Park? • Celebrate Earth Day with the Natural Resources Committee of Geneva and the Geneva Park District from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Peck Farm Park. At this free event, you’ll find even more simple ways to go green while educating your family on the importance of protecting Mother Earth. Shop local at the Geneva Green Market, shred old papers, recycle ancient electronics, tune up your bicycle with the pros, or buy a beautifully decorated rain barrel. Plus, Peck Farm Park offers a multitude of wonderful ways to enjoy the blossoming spring. For more information, call 630-232-4542 or visit www. genevaparks.org.

‘Reinvigorating’ Delnor By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Later this year, Delnor Hospital will open its new cancer treatment center on the hospital’s Randall Road campus. But in coming months, some of the most significant changes within Delnor’s operation may occur in points more removed from the main Geneva campus, as the health system that operates Delnor seeks to deepen its roster of doctors and expand Delnor’s brand in Kane and DeKalb counties. “We want to make sure that health care is readily accessible where people live and work,” said Robert Friedberg, president of Delnor Hospital. “More and more families are going to move in, and they will need access to superb care.” For months, contractors hired by Cadence, the health care company that runs both Delnor and Central DuPage hospitals, have progressed toward completion of construction on Delnor’s new cancer treatment center. Begun last year, the cancer treatment center project

will expand a smaller oncology medical building in the southeast corner of Delnor’s campus, near the corner of Randall and Keslinger roads in Geneva. The building is scheduled to begin receiving patients in August. Cadence officials have said the new cancer treatment center will allow Delnor to centralize and expand radiation and oncology services at the hospital. When Cadence presented the cancer center proposal to state regulators, health system officials had indicated that the project came as a response to the opening of other cancer treatment centers in the region and new cancer treatment centers in planning stages. The $20 million project will serve as a centerpiece for more than $90 million of construction and renovation projects Cadence has planned for Delnor over the next three years to “reinvigorate the campus,” Friedberg said. In addition to the improvements to Delnor’s Geneva facilities, Cadence has also expanded its health services in communities in which Delnor’s network has had less

Crews work on the new cancer center on the campus of Delnor Hospital in Geneva. Cadence Health expects the north end of the center to be completed by May 28, with the rest of the center open to patients Sept. 1. presence to date. Friedberg noted Cadence’s ongoing projects to open a new urgent care facility and doctors’ offices in Aurora, and to open new doctors’ offices in Sugar Grove and Sycamore. He said the health system has traditionally provided health care for families in those areas. But to date, those

patients have needed to drive to Geneva. He noted a particular emphasis on bringing Cadence-affiliated primary care services, as well as some specialties such as pediatric medicine, to communities in western Kane County and DeKalb County. “The western side of our

geographic area is an area where we see tremendous growth over the next 10 years,” Friedberg said. Friedberg said Cadence does not believe it will offer services farther west than Sycamore, or farther south than Sugar Grove.

String ensemble hits the right notes It will perform at Kaneland fine arts festival

If you go The Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Kaneland High School, 57W326 Keslinger Road, Maple Park. Admission is free. For information, visit www.kanelandartsfestival.org.

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – When eighth-grader Chloe Besser moved from Batavia into the Kaneland School District this school year, she wasn’t sure she’d have an opportunity to play her cello in a performing group. Kaneland doesn’t have an orchestra. Through the efforts of parents, the Sugar Grove Park District and some volunteers, however, it does have a string club. Besser spotted the Kaneland String Ensemble at a recent public appearance, and she showed up for a recent practice, joining the club. “I had missed playing with a group,” Besser said. “I was excited that I was able to have that experience again.” The Kaneland String Ensemble will be part of a full day of activities at the Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival, which runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at Kaneland High School, 47W326 Keslinger Road, Maple Park. Admission is free. The festival features huge displays of student artwork, with performances going on throughout the day in several locations at the school. In the auditorium, there will be performances featuring the Maud Powell String Quartet (11 a.m.), Bel Canto (12:15 p.m.), the Waubonsee Community College Steel Band (1 p.m.), Acappellago (2:15 p.m.), Margaret Fox (3:30 p.m.) and the M&M Dance Company (5 p.m.).

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Evangelos Lekkas rehearses with the Kaneland String Ensemble at Kaneland Harter Middle School in Sugar Grove. The group will perform in the Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival on April 21. The event features artwork, workshops and showcases. There will be refreshments available to buy. And all day, there is a pre-K art experience, with story time provided every hour. Officials from the Sugar Grove Public Library will be on hand to register residents for library cards. In addition, there will be a square dance band, and the event kicks off with the Chicago Cubs Dixieland Band. The Kaneland String Ensemble will have two performances – at 12:15 p.m. in the auditorium lobby and at 1 p.m. in the arts pavilion. The string ensemble was launched this year, as some parents have pushed for an opportunity for youths to perform together, despite not having an orchestra. Understanding that the school district has gone through budget cuts over the past few years, mak-

ing it unlikely that the district would add such a program, organizers looked to other solutions. Listed as the After School String Club and offered by the Sugar Grove Park District, the group meets weekly in the Kaneland Harter Middle School band room. It is for those in sixth through eighth

grade. The cost is $72. Elburn resident Andrea LaFranzo serves as the director, and she credited parent Sonya Hwang with leading the push. Hwang credited other parents and the students, and she said she hoped it is just the beginning, a step toward establishing an orchestra program in

the district. “The purpose is someday being part of the school program,” Hwang said. Those in the group are violinists Morgan Goodine, Abbey Heineke, Dallin Hwang and Evangelos Lekkas; cellists Ryan MuckerHeide, Sara Sexton and Chloe Besser; and pianist Seth Anderson. LaFranzo said the logical next step would be to expand the program to the elementary schools in an attempt to build interest. The group has had two previous performances, including one at a Knight of Performances event at the middle school, and interested youths were invited to take a look at the instruments. “Our main goal right now is to try to get more exposure

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com ELBURN – Water and sewer rate increases were approved Monday night at the Elburn Village Board meeting, but village officials postponed decisions on the budget and the possible addition of a finance director. The increases are to take effect May 1. John Nevenhoven, the village’s superin-

tendent of public works, has said an average customer could see rates increase by $6 a month. Sewer rates will rise to $2.82 from $2.69. Sewer rates will go up to $3.80 from $3.62. And the base cost, the fee for having the service, will rise to $7.50, up from $5.50. Village President Dave Anderson said the price goes up because the cost of delivering the service goes up.

“You cannot buy Hershey bars for 15 cents and sell them for a dime,” Anderson said as part of an analogy. The board has discussed the budget for weeks, but because board members Ethan Hastert and Jeff Walter were not in attendance Monday, the remaining members opted to delay the vote. Anderson said he intended to call a special Village Board meeting before next

week’s Committee of the Whole meeting for discussion and a possible vote. At that time, discussion can resume on adding a finance director as well. In other news, Nevenhoven said work has begun on improvements in the Blackberry Creek development. Issues there have been unresolved since developer B&B Enterprises pulled out of the area in 2010. Some streets

have been unfinished, for instance. The deadline for completion of the work is Oct. 1, but Nevenhoven said it’s possible an extension could be worked out for street lights, which must be ordered. Also, officials made plans for a Saturday morning meeting to tour the wastewater treatment plant at 1N524 Thryselius Drive in Elburn. The tour starts at 9 a.m., and the public is invited.

Strategy approved to Budget a concern in adding activities try to remove Brady • STRINGS Continued from page 6

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com Illinois Republican State Central Committeemen have approved a succession strategy to possibly replace Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady. The move Saturday came after Brady, of St. Charles, made comments in January about supporting same-sex marriage. State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, had helped lead the effort to oust Brady by trying to set up meetings to discuss the party leader’s comments. Oberweis attempted to set up a meeting in February to discuss Brady’s comments, but failed to get the support needed to convene a meeting. Another meeting was scheduled in March, but Brady had indicated that he would be out

of town, and some state central committeemen thought Brady should be in attendance, so the meeting was canceled. Oberweis previously said that Brady’s open support of same-sex marriage is “a question of corporate governance” in breaking with party lines. “It is important going forward that we have a chairman that will bring people together in the Republican Party rather than divide and alienate people,” Oberweis said Tuesday. During a meeting at the Tinley Park Convention Center, the succession strategy was approved by 87 percent of the weighted votes of GOP state central committee members, Oberweis said. As part of that move, one state central committee member is tasked with finding a successor. It could take about a month before the findings from the succession panel are revisited. Brady did not return a message seeking comment. His term ends in March 2014.

to the group, create more excitement in the community about the project and attract additional interest from youth and parents to join the program,” Hwang said. Attracting interest will be a key, as district officials say community members have expressed interest in adding other activities as well.

ideal to demonstrate a strong level of interest. “I certainly have heard the message from some of the community members and kids,” Schlichter said of the orchestra proposal. But while there are no immediate plans to create an orchestra in the district, she pointed to the arts festival itself as an indication that the district “is a big supporter of the arts.” “We value that,” Schlichter said. “We wouldn’t have a fine arts festival if we didn’t feel strongly about supporting the arts.”

said there would be two ways of adding such an activity to a district – through the curriculum as a course offering or as an extracurricular activity. The budget would be a consideration.

Sugar Grove won’t revisit vote over video gambling Voters supported legalization April 9 By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – After voters signaled their approval of video gambling in an April 9 advisory referendum, members of the Sugar Grove Village Board agreed Tuesday not to revisit the vote that took place earlier this year to legalize it. When the board voted to legalize video gaming in January, board members decided to weigh voters’ opinions of the issue through an advisory referendum. If voters had disapproved, they had planned to possibly take another vote, but the board decided against that at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. The issue initially came forward when members of the Sugar Grove American Legion Post 1271 requested that the board consider video gambling because they were

losing customers to nearby competitors that had gaming machines. Cliff Barker, chaplain for the American Legion, said the video gaming machines have been on since Wednesday. “The crowd is definitely coming back,” he said. “It was probably the fullest Saturday night we’ve had without an organized event going on. It’s definitely made a difference so far.” During Tuesday’s regular meeting, the board adopted its 2013-14 budget, which includes funds for a part-time administrative officer position for the village’s police department, should the village decide to hire someone. As the village moves forward with selecting its new police chief, which it hopes to complete in May, board members want to gauge the needs of the new chief before hiring someone to the administrative officer position. The parttime salary would be about $40,000. Village President Sean Michels said he didn’t think the

position is necessary because sergeants are able to execute those duties, which helps them keep tabs on what’s going on. Trustee Rick Montalto said the position could eventually become a full-time job, and the administrative officer could be responsible for long-term projects, such as working toward police department accreditation. “It could be a go-to person for projects like this,” he said. At a March 5 budget workshop, the budget reflected a surplus of nearly $151,000, but several changes since then have pared down the surplus to about $42,000. The surplus was decreased by several expenses, including a citizen survey that cost $15,000. The general capital projects fund reflects a deficit of about $58,000, which had increased from about $7,700 since the March 5 budget workshop. Improvements to an outside salt storage facility at a cost of about $60,000 increased the deficit.

Cadence hiring for specialties • DELNOR Continued from page 4 He specifically noted that Cadence does not intend to open offices in Kendall County. Cadence’s emphasis on adding primary care physicians comes as numerous reports have indicated that the U.S. could face a shortage of primary care doctors. In Kane County, for instance, the ratio of patients to primary care physicians increased from 1,590 residents for every primary care doctor in 2012 to 2,358 residents for every primary care doctor in the county in 2013, according to a report issued by the Robert Wood

Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. Cadence is also seeking to increase its roster of medical specialists, Friedberg said. He said Cadence is recruiting scores of doctors in dozens of specialties and subspecialties. Friedberg said Cadence has added more than 100 doctors in the past year. He said he believes Cadence is building a reputation as a place where “incredibly well-trained physicians” can “practice at an academic level, but not be at an academic institution.” “We’re not replacing physicians,” Friedberg said. “We’re adding.”

Volunteers needed to prepare Kaneville Township property By MARTHA MADDI editorial@kcchronicle.com KANEVILLE TOWNSHIP – Conley Farm each year offers people a chance to gather, grieve and recover. Conley Outreach Community Services holds grief events there, including its Good Grief Day Camp for children ages 6 through 12 who have lost a parent or sibling. But help is needed to ready the facilities for such events. Every spring, Conley Outreach invites volunteers to prepare the property. This year’s annual spring workday will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

This event usually draws from 35 to 65 volunteers, but “it would be ideal if we had 100 because we never get all the work done,” said Tigger Kainz, the workday coordinator. “The farm is 11 acres, so there is a lot to do.” Tasks include taking down tarps, raking, mulching, trimming trees, scrubbing furniture and the pavilion as well as cleaning debris out of the farm’s creek. A light lunch will be provided. Volunteers are needed throughout this year’s warm months to complete two projects – building a deck off of the pavilion and a gazebo near the creek. Many of the workday vol-

unteers are family members mourning a loved one, and they find comfort in the tasks, Kainz said. She also said planting seeds is on the agenda and that doing this is symbolic of the grief process. “It gives people a sense that things will get back to normal,” Kainz said. In addition to the grief camp in June, Conley Outreach uses the farm for an annual steppingstone workshop, which allows people to create a stone in memory of a loved one. Participants can either take the stone with them or place it in the children’s prayer garden on the farm. Every September, there

JIM LICHTENEBERT ‘CHIP’ Born: June 30, 1943 Died: April 13, 2013 BATAVIA – Jim Lichtenebert “Chip,” 69, of Batavia, passed away Saturday, April 13, 2013, after battling leukemia for several months. Born June 30, 1943, and raised in Northbrook, Jim spent most of his adult life living in Chicago before moving out to the Fox Valley area 14 years ago to be closer to his children and grandchildren.

Jim’s gracious spirit and warm smile made everyone around him feel welcomed. He was always quick with a joke and loved nothing more than to spend time with friends and family. Some of his most treasured days were spent with his grandsons attending a baseball or football game, taking them out for lunch or teaching them the fine art of poker. A U.S. Navy Reserve veteran (1964-1970), Jim attended the Art Institute with a focus on graphic arts and spent his professional career as a production manager in the advertising world. He then went on to work at Home Depot, a job he truly enjoyed in his retirement years. Jim was preceded in death by his loving parents, Rudy and Ruth Lichtenebert. His cremated remains will be placed next to them at the Curlew Hills Memory Gardens in Palm Harbor, Fla. Jim is survived by his son, Kevin Lichtenebert (Didi), with grandsons Bradley, 19, and Nathan, 13, of Geneva; and daughter, Sue Reed (Greg) with grand-dogs Austin and Ginger in Fort Worth, Texas. A celebration of life will be from noon to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at Pal Joey’s, 31 N. River St. in Batavia, with a service at 1:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the American Diabetes Association (donations.diabetes. org).

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Shock wave THE WASHINGTON POST In the weeks and months after the 2001 terrorist attacks, every iconic sports event became an occasion for anxiety. World Series games, the Super Bowl – with each, trepidation suffused every fan’s normal interest. Over time, the trepidation faded – until Monday. The Boston Marathon, held each Patriot’s Day, is about as iconic as a sporting event can be, for the world’s elite runners and for Bostonians, whether sedentary or fit. As Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said, “This is a pretty special day around here.” That it would be despoiled by two explosions near the finish line, killing at least three and injuring scores, is a terrible development. In the early moments after the blasts, there were indications of the nation’s maturity, for better and worse, in dealing with such shocks. Runners and onlookers seemed to respond, for the most part, without panic. Local police began cooperating seamlessly with state police, the FBI and other federal authorities. Emergency crews responded with professionalism. Officials and reporters, meanwhile, were careful not to get ahead of the confirmed news. Could the explosions have been something other than bombs? In the late afternoon, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis confirmed that they were explosive devices. Who was responsible? Again, there seemed to be a general understanding of the danger of jumping to conclusions. The nation has seen its share of foreign terrorism and homegrown terrorism attacks alike (the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta come to mind). Sadly, any number of explanatory scenarios were plausible, absent a claim of responsibility and pending a more thorough investigation. For everyone else, there was little to do but hold the victims in their hearts and wait for more clarity. Unfortunately, we’ve learned well by now that “senseless” doesn’t mean “unlikely.” Even so, who could help but feel furious that anyone would target such a sunny event and so many innocent people?

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles East coach for the boys water polo team quit Monday in the middle of the season and school officials said they are scrambling to find a replacement so the 30 boys on the team can finish the season. The coach, Jaclyn Weber, a Spanish teacher at East, said she would not comment about what led her to resign. About 40 water polo parents met for more than 90 minutes Tuesday night in a meeting room at the Norris Center. Though some parents had invited a reporter to the meeting, once

there, officials and parents insisted the reporter leave, saying they wanted to handle the situation internally. After the meeting, parents left without comment. “The coach just resigned on Monday,” said East Principal Charlie Kyle after the meeting. “Today, we had a meeting with all the water polo parents to talk about searching for a new coach for water polo. We’re talking about when they’re going to be able to meet the new coach and when the new coach and the kids will be back in the pool.” Countering reports from parents that East Athletic Director Mike Sommerfeld had

canceled the rest of the season, Sommerfeld said, “That decision had not been made.” “Without having a coach, we were uncertain that there would be a rest of the season,” Sommerfeld said. “Our goal is to have the kids back in the pool by Friday with the new coach,” Kyle said. “When you have a coach that resigns and they’re the only coach, you don’t have anybody to supervise, you don’t have anybody in the pool. Our goal was to assure parents we are going to get a new coach and start the season over again, mid-way through.” Kyle said they also talked about Senior Night, and

Ex-employee accused of law firm theft By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST.

said. After St. Charles police investigated, Terry was charged with theft, a Class 1 felony. If convicted, she could face four to 15 years in prison with the possibility of probation. Terry turned herself in Monday, McCurtain said. She was released on a $10,000 cash bond, which McCurtain said was 10 percent of her $100,000 bail. Terry is expected in court at 9 a.m. April 25.

resignation. Kyle and Sommerfeld said they did not know what the boys were talking about, that they did not say not to talk about it. “I just know we have a coach who resigned and we’re trying to find a new water polo coach,” Kyle said. “It’s a fluid situation that we’re trying to figure out,” Sommerfeld said. Kyle said they knew why Weber resigned but he would not say. “It’s her personal reasons,” he said. “It was her personal decision to resign.”

GENEVA – The city of Geneva’s proposed budget for 2013-14 contained accounting errors that were corrected two weeks ago, Mayor Kevin Burns said. But when Bob McQuillan, Burns’ opponent in the recent mayoral race, addressed the council Monday during a budget hearing, he referred to the previous numbers posted online last month. “We received communication from [city administrator] Mary M c K i t t r i c k Kevin Burns that the figures were revised, based on an accounting error,” Burns said. “That is why we looked confused, because the budget had been revised.” For his part, McQuillan said he printed out the proposed budget after it was posted online last month and was relying on those figures when addressing the council. McQuillan rejected the notion that the budget, given in a half-hour presentation and posted online, could be off by more than $5 million because of an accounting error. “I think it’s ridiculous,” McQuillan said. “They are all highly paid, highly competent staff, and they put a budget – that is not correct – online.” Aldermen this week approved the city’s corrected budget plan for the next fiscal year, of $83.7 million in spending and $85.1 million in revenue. As the discussion centered around the erroneous first budget and the corrected sec-

ond budget, McQuillan asked why no one was notified that the previous budget was incorrect. Burns said McQuillan could have cleared things up by calling City Hall or his aldermen. “There is no conspiracy here,” Burns said. “He printed the wrong budget. ... Bob’s passion is admirable, but his points are way off. I cannot and will not sit there and listen to him accuse staff of being liars, deceitful and dishonest.” Burns said the council’s job is to set policy and steer the city in the right direction. “Bob wants to find conspiracy in everything,” Burns said. “It becomes exhausting. I do not know how someone can stay angry so long. ... There is no ‘grassy knoll’ at City Hall.” McQuillan said his questioning of the city’s budget has nothing to do with lingering political aspirations, such as running for mayor again or alderman. “I’m not angry about anything,” McQuillan said. But McQuillan said he would continue to ask questions about city spending. “I’m going to ask legitimate questions and expect legitimate answers,” McQuillan said. “And I’m not going to do it in emails. I’m going to be doing it in public.” As to political aspirations, he said he had no more. “I’m probably finished running for public office,” McQuillan said. “People don’t want somebody who is going to hold people accountable and be fully transparent. ... I want to be a resident who is concerned and will hold officials accountable for their actions and their budgets.”

Math anxiety: Can this common barrier be overcome? Does the thought of taking a math test or, even worse, doing a problem at the board in front of the class give you sweaty palms, tunnel vision, and make your heart feel as if it’s about to leap out of your chest? If so, you might have math anxiety. If you have the same feelings of impending doom on tests in other subjects, then you may also have test anxiety. The good news is that both of these common barriers can be overcome. Math anxiety is an intense fear or sense of dread associated with the subject of math. Humans are not born fearing math. Small children enjoy counting objects and are usually proud to add and subtract out loud.

Where does this crippling fear come from then? Usually at some point in life, people with math or test anxiety have a profoundly negative experience associated with math or a test that sticks with them for the rest of their life. Maybe they had a teacher who told them they should give up. Maybe they went to the board, didn’t know how to work the problem and were embarrassed. Maybe no one in their family has ever been good at math, which means that they will never be good in math, right? Wrong. There is no quick and complete cure for math or test anxiety. While some anxiety can be good, too much is a problem.

WAUBONSEE VOICES Jo Lynn M. Sedgwick How can that happy medium be achieved? With a lot of work, patience and time, the amount of anxiety associated with math or a test should decrease and become helpful rather than hurtful. Waubonsee Community College has some excellent services to help students succeed at the college. Students can receive free walk-in tutoring services at each of its four campuses for the classes they are enrolled in at the college. In addition, the tutoring centers can work with

students on test taking and study skills strategies. There are some basic do’s and don’ts that should be followed to lessen math and test anxiety. Don’t miss classes. Missing classes makes students feel unprepared, which adds to the anxiety. Take notes in class and study those notes before starting the homework. Do all of the homework problems assigned. If a problem cannot be worked, use the available resources: the lecture notes, a tutor, the instructor or a free math website. Being prepared, seeking help when needed and having the right study skills will allow you to be your own

cheerleader when you walk into your math class or test. All of the hard work will allow you to say: “I have done all I can to prepare for this test. I can do this! Breathe.” Focus on success and do not let negative thoughts of failure creep in. Don’t let math anxiety be the barrier to your success. “In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.” – Bill Cosby

St. Charles North’s Kelly Manski is hugged by Natalie Winkates (5) after scoring a goal during Tuesday’s game at St. Charles East. The goal gave the North Stars a 1-0 win.

ST. CHARLES NORTH 1, ST. CHARLES EAST 0

More Manski magic for North Stars By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The biggest goal of the regular season for the St. Charles North girls soccer team was scored by, arguably, the North Stars’ most improved player this season. And Kelly Manski was pretty darn good last year. Manski, a senior midfielder and Wisconsin-Milwaukee recruit, converted a superb individual move for the lone score of Tuesday night’s 1-0 North Stars victory against host St. Charles East. The win against the only other team that was unbeaten in confer-

ence play almost certainly will give the North Stars (10-1, 5-0 UEC River) this year’s Upstate Eight Conference River Division outright championship. Manski, collecting a feed from sophomore Elizabeth Parrilli near the top of the box, maneuvered deftly to her right and deposited a high shot past East goalkeeper Kendra Sheehan with 11:29 left in the first half. “There wasn’t a lot of room,” Manski said. “There were a couple of defenders, I just did a cut to the side and took the shot.” Manski couldn’t see the ball flutter in because of the traffic in the box. North Stars defender Kenzie Rose

had a much better vantage point, and gushed about the latest highlight of what has been a superb senior season so far for Manski. “She has been doing a phenomenal job,” Rose said. “She has been getting up and down, helping us everywhere. She’s on one side of the field, and the next minute, she’s on the other side of the field. She’s doing a great job this year.” Disappointed as the Saints (9-2-1, 3-1 UEC River) were, East coach Paul Jennison came away encouraged by his team’s play, particularly the first chunk of the opening half, in which the Saints made inroads against the North Stars’ vaunted defense but

failed to finish. Jennison said his team “threw a lot at them.” “I thought, to be honest, the first 30 minutes, I could really only see one outcome coming,” Jennison said. “I thought we looked fantastic. I thought we had the majority of the play, the majority of the possession, we were moving the ball nicely, we created a couple of chances. We looked good. “It was just one of them, unfortunately, we gave up the one shot, she put it in, and then we were playing catch-up. We know they’re a physical team. We know they’re tough.”

By DENNIS D. JACOBS editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Tuesday was eventful for St. Charles East first baseman Brian Sobieski. The 6-foot, 190-pound senior survived a pair of collisions, belted a double, stole two bases, and scored three runs to lead the Saints to a 4-0 victory over Batavia in the first game of a three-game Upstate Eight Conference River Division series. Sobieski scored the first run of the contest in the bottom of the second inning, knocking Bulldog catcher Dino Simoncelli out of the game in the process. Sobieski led off the inning after a walk by Batavia starter Emilio Tenuta (1-1). He stole second and advanced to third when Nick Huskisson struck out on a wild pitch, but reached first safely. The Saints (7-5, 5-2 UEC River) put on a delayed double steal with Huskisson taking off for second and Sobieski breaking for home as Simoncelli threw toward second. The throw was cut off and the return throw

home arrived at about the same time as Sobieski, who said he was trying to slide when he ran into Simoncelli. “My momentum was taking me forward, so it was an easy thing to go head first – head first slide into home,” Sobieski said. “I was just trying to get the plate.” Simoncelli wasn’t able to hang on to the ball and the Brian Sobieski umpire called Sobieski safe and stuck to that decision despite a protest by Batavia (11-2, 5-2) coach Matt Holm. “The rule is you have to avoid contact,” Holm said. “He lowered his shoulder and went into our kid. There’s a possibility he might have a broken thumb.” Holm stressed that he did not think there was any malicious intent behind the collision, which brought to his mind Pete Rose running over Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 1970 MLB All-Star Game.

“I went up to [the umpire] and said, ‘Hey man, I love Pete Rose,’ ” Holm said. “I think it’s a stupid rule. I think you should be able to run everybody over. That’s my type of game, but that’s not the rule. He should have been out and we would have been out of that inning.” Sobieski walked again leading off the fourth, went to third on a double by Huskisson to deep left-center, and scored on a wild pitch. Huskisson scored one batter later on a very well-executed suicide squeeze bunt by Erik Anderson, who got his second RBI of the game in the sixth with a single that plated Sobieski, who doubled to start the inning. Sobieski was on the receiving end of a collision in the top of the seventh. Andrew Seigler grounded to the mound with one out and a runner on second. After looking the runner back to second, pitcher Matt Starai threw wide of first into foul territory toward home plate. “He had less time to make the throw to first,” Sobieski said. “It was off the bag, so I

came off the bag and I went to go step on it and [Seigler] was just right there.” Sobieski took a shoulder to the head as he got the out at first and went to the ground. After being checked out by a trainer, he was able to stay in the game for the final out. Starai (4-0) allowed only two hits in going the distance – a first-inning single by Micah Coffey and a double by Luke Horton leading off the seventh. He struck out three and walked two. “They put a lot of balls in play today and the defense really picked it up behind me with a couple of diving plays,” Starai said. Brannon Barry went horizontal to make a diving catch in right field to end a Batavia threat in the fifth and shortstop Nick Erickson robbed Coffey of a hit with a lunging grab in the sixth. “The defense was wonderful,” East coach Len Asquini said. “We had those two real nice plays … [and] we made the routine plays, picked everything up. That was great to see.”

North Stars, Saints ticketed for Hoffman Estates Sectional • SOCCER Continued from page 15 Towering North forward Sophie Pohl was on the verge of putting the match away with about 9 minutes to play in the second half. With Sheehan momentarily out of position, Pohl appeared to have an open net for a potential second goal, but East senior defender Clara Stoffel booted Pohl’s shot offline. “I had a heart attack,” Stoffel said. “I just sprinted back because I knew if they had scored again the game would have been absolutely over. I ran back and at first I thought I was going to kick it in, but luckily it went past the goal. My heart was definitely racing.” Pohl turned in one of her most active games for the North Stars. She picked up a yellow card for a shove during the increasingly physical second half but North coach Ruth Vostal was more struck by the

St. Charles East’s Hannah Rawson (right) passes the ball during Tuesday’s game against St. Charles North. numerous scoring chances Pohl produced. “We knew they were going to push up,” Vostal said of East’s defense. “Unfortunately, [Pohl] didn’t get one, but that’s more shooting than Sophie’s done in one game in a long time, so that’s what we were

happy with.” North goalkeeper Shelby Stitz was credited with three saves. One came in the first half after Saints sophomore Darcy Cunningham was unable to cash in after a nifty passing combination from Anna Corirossi to Carly Pottle

to Cunningham. It was a night of offensive frustration for most girls on the field – aside from Manski. “Even before the game I said to [North assistant coach Annie Lauterer], I’m like, ‘She’s going to get one,’ ” Vostal said of Manski. “Lauterer was saying ‘We didn’t work really hard on that one play, it didn’t look great,’ but Kelly worked hard, and she was the one who came out with it. She’s been coming up big.” The North Stars, who have given up only one goal all season, on a penalty kick, can clinch the conference title outright with a win Tuesday against visiting Streamwood. Postseason pairings for girls soccer are due next week, and the North Stars and Saints are both ticketed for the 3A Hoffman Estates Sectional – a fact of which Jennison is well aware. “I’m very confident we’ll see them in the postseason,” Jennison said. “I’m almost positive about it.”

well. I wish I could’ve let go on the freebies – I hit two guys, walked two. But I trust my defense. The defense played a [heck] of a game, and you can’t do much better than that. I just let my defense play,” Shah said. The Vikings scored two runs off Shah, one in the second on a sacrifice fly by senior third baseman Brock Chenier and one in the fourth on a double off the bat of freshman shortstop Nick Derr. Shah found a groove after Derr’s hit, retiring 10 of the final 11 batters he faced. The Derr double made it a one-run game, but the North Stars picked up an insurance run on junior right fielder Nick Drawant’s RBI single in the top of the sixth. “He’s been throwing great for us,” St. Charles North coach Todd Genke said of Shah. “He’s a big game pitcher, and he got the ball in a big game today in the start of a big series with Geneva and he

was great. He located his fastball. He threw his breaking ball down in the zone where it needs to be. He competed, and I give him a ton of credit.” St. Charles North’s win gives it a 1-0 lead in this week’s three-game set between the Upstate Eight Conference River Division rivals. The series could prove critical for both teams, who have not started their seasons the way they had hoped. After Tuesday’s tilt, St. Charles North boasts an overall record of 7-7 (3-3 in conference), while the defeat sent Geneva to 5-7 (2-5 in conference).

“We’re not off to the start that we’re traditionally used to. And we’re just going to try to figure it out,” Hahn said. “We’ve had a rash of injuries. That’s not an excuse. ... We just hope to get better. Hopefully we’ll peak at the right time of the year. We’ve got a lot of baseball to play.” St. Charles North saw Tuesday’s victory as the boost it need. “We have a chance now to go show how good we can be, or we can stay at .500,” Shah said. “But I think from this game we gain a lot of momentum. We’re going to show that we’re here to stay.”

Division-I interest growing for Batavia’s Thielk Batavia junior football standout Anthony Thielk enlisted his grandfather’s companionship on a weekend visit to Vanderbilt. “He drives a little bit slow, but otherwise, he’s good [as a travel companion],” Thielk quipped. Thielk made no such qualifiers about his enthusiasm for the Commodores’ program. Thielk, who watched Vanderbilt’s spring game with several other committed and prospective recruits, liked what he saw in Nashville. “I think they’ve been getting a lot better as a football program and obviously it’s a great academic school,” Thielk said. “The coaches invited me to the spring game and I hadn’t really been to Tennessee before, and I loved it.” Thielk is a two-way standout for Batavia, excelling at linebacker and running back. He anticipates moving from outside linebacker to middle

linebacker for his senior season and potentially branching out offensively to other spots in which his blocking prowess can be utilized, such as tight end. Most colleges are recruiting Thielk as a linebacker. Northern Illinois and Illinois State are among the programs that have shown Anthony Thielk interest, and he anticipates visiting Iowa State in the coming weeks. Thielk said he does not have scholarship offers from those programs yet but is optimistic some will be in the offing if he performs well early in his senior season. He also is circling an upcoming Rivals prospects camp on May 4 at Maine South as an important showcase. In the meantime, Thielk continues to run with the Bulldogs’ track team. He is

PREP ZONE Jay Schwab primarily running in the 400-meters as well as various relays. “Obviously I’m going to compete but it’s more getting me ready for football to keep my legs in shape, going through the whole workout program so I can peak at the right time for the camp and just to be ready for the summer,” Thielk said.

Huskisson finds home downstate: St. Charles East senior left-handed pitcher Nick Huskisson committed Monday to pitch collegiately at Illinois Wesleyan. Huskisson said he chose Wesleyan, a Division-III program in Bloomington, over other possibilities such as Lafayette (Pa.) and Washington University in St. Louis. “I’ve heard nothing but good things from the play-

ers,” Huskisson said. “The people who know the school, the teachers that I’ve talked about the school with at East, you haven’t heard a negative thing about it. It’s something I’m excited to be a part of, and the small school feel, too.” Huskisson said his recruitment with Wesleyan heated up when he pitched well in a travel team tournament at Illinois State University. He said he plans to major in finance with an eye toward law school down the road. The East southpaw hopes to finish strong with the Saints this spring before challenging for a spot on what he called a Wesleyan pitching staff that is “through the roof” with talent. “One thing I’d really like to improve on is continuing to hit my locations more consistently and get some more movement on my fastball, but with my offspeed, I’m pretty happy with how I’ve been throwing and the movement I’m getting on it,”

Huskisson said.

Adduci to undergo surgery: St. Charles East junior point guard Dom Adduci is scheduled to undergo surgery today to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. He expects a recovery time of about four months and a return to full health in time for fall workouts leading up to his senior season with the Saints. Adduci, a First-Team Chronicle All-Area Boys Basketball selection as a junior, averaged 15.3 points a game for the Saints while sharing the backcourt limelight with sophomore Cole Gentry. Adduci became East’s top scoring threat after Purdue recruit Kendall Stephens’ senior season ended prematurely, also because of a labrum tear.

GENEVA – St. Charles North senior pitcher Ankur Shah will be suiting up for Illinois-Chicago next season, and he already sports a glove in the school’s colors of blue and red. But there’s more than his glove that indicates he’s ready to move to the next level. Tuesday, Shah threw a complete game and allowed two runs in St. Charles North’s 4-2 win against Geneva. The senior pitcher struck out eight Vikings in a winning effort and allowed four hits and a pair of walks.

Shah’s teammates spotted him an early lead, touching Geneva pitcher Andy Honiotes – who has committed to Miami for next year – for three runs in the second inning. North senior shortstop Tim Misner’s two-run double made it a 3-0 North Stars’ lead. Honiotes departed after Misner’s hit to finish his day at 1⅔ innings of work. After the game, Geneva coach Matt Hahn said it was Ankur Shah more of a precautionary exit, as Honiotes has been dealing with arm tightness this season. Geneva junior pitcher Max Novak limited the North Stars to just one run on three hits and a walk over 5⅓ innings, but the early advantage was all Shah needed. “I thought I did pretty

Heimerdinger delivers win for Knights

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Wednesday, April 17, 2013

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – Early-count aggressiveness burned the Kaneland softball team before benefiting it Tuesday afternoon. If the Knights had to do their 5-4 victory against Sycamore over again, they’d hope to breathe easier. Still, nothing would change about an eager offensive approach that ultimately led them past their Northern Illinois Big 12 East rival. With the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Knights junior designated player Caroline Heimerdinger smacked Abby Foulk’s first pitch to left field for a game-ending single. Although Kaneland already had squandered leads of 3-0 and 4-2 in the final two innings, Heimerdinger itched to act on instinct when she

saw an appealing delivery. “Kind of just whatever is around there,” she said. “I always go for the first pitches if they’re close. I don’t know, that’s what I always do.” Sycamore (4-9, 0-5 NI Big 12 East) could attest in the late innings, capitalizing as Knights sophomore righthander Anissa Becker began leaving pitches up in the strike zone. Trailing 3-0 with one out in the sixth, the Spartans tied the score behind left fielder Jasmyne Taylor’s two-run homer and a Knights error. Kaneland (8-2, 2-1) responded with Paige Kuefler’s run-scoring single in the bottom half to grab a 4-3 lead. That advantage appeared safe until Sycamore first baseman Brittany Huber lofted a two-out fly ball to right center that eluded sprawling Knights center fielder Lanie Callaghan and scored the ty-

ing run. “I got a bad jump on it and I should have dove earlier,” Callaghan said, “but you know what, we got out of the inning.” Kaneland used its familiarity with Foulk, a senior righty who also pitches against some players during summer club season, to quickly stage the winning rally. A soothing feeling for the Knights – who loaded the bases with no outs in the third but made the next three outs in seven pitches – turned sour for Sycamore. The Spartans were out-hit, 15-9. “Unfortunately, we’ve been knocking on the door and we haven’t been able to kick it down yet,” Spartans coach Jill Carpenter said. “From a coaching staff perspective, we’re getting a little bit sick of just coming close. We would like to be able to

Cougars split; Garza coming to town KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE BELOIT, Wis. – The Kane County Cougars came from behind to beat the Beloit Snappers in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday at Pohlman Field with a 4-3 victory before dropping the second contest with an 8-3 loss. Beloit (5-7) grabbed the early advantage in the opening game of the twinbill as they picked up three unearned runs in the bottom of the first against right-hander Jose Arias. Brett Vertigan started the inning by reaching on an error and scored on an error by first baseman Dan Vogelbach. Renato Nunez and John Wooten added RBI singles to finish the run. Beloit maintained a 3-0 lead behind starter Raul Alcantara until the sixth inning when the Cougars (4-7) began to rally. Jeimer Candelario doubled home Gioskar Amaya and Marco Hernandez hit a double to score Vogelbach, pulling the Cougars within one. In the seventh, the Cougars

In the nightcap, the Cougars took the lead first as Hernandez doubled in the second before stealing third and scoring on a throwing error by catcher Bruce Maxwell for the Cougars’ only lead. Michael Heesch (0-1) surrendered seven runs in the bottom of the second. An error by Hernandez made five of the seven runs unearned while Wooten and Nunez each cracked two-

run doubles. Ryan Matthews knocked a homer in the third as the Snappers got a solid effort in relief from Dakota Bacus (1-0) to split the doubleheader. The Cougars and Snappers will play the rubber game of their three-game set at 6:30 tonight from Pohlman Field. Right-hander Lendy Castillo (0-0) takes the hill for the Cougars against fellow righty Vince Voiro (0-1).

Garza to pitch for Cougars on Friday: Kane County, in conjunction with the Cubs, announced pitcher Matt Garza will make a rehab start for Kane County at Friday’s 6:30 p.m. game at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva. Garza was placed on the disabled list during spring training with a left lat strain and has yet to appear in a major league game this season. The right-hander has spent three seasons with the Cubs and has won 57 games during his major league career, which began in 2006 when Garza made the jump from Single-A to the major leagues with Minnesota.

start games a little bit better.” Kaneland overcame an early base-running gaffe to keep the inning alive for Callaghan’s two-run homer in the first, which came on a 1-1 pitch. The Knights stranded 10 runners, but coach Brian Willis didn’t find fault with a swing-first approach that produced three-hit games from left fielder Lexi Roach, shortstop Allyson O’Herron and Heimerdinger. “We try to tell the girls don’t go chasing, but if it’s in your zone and it’s early and the situation calls for it, then go ahead and swing,” Willis said.

Along with Taylor and Huber, Taylor Jones and Paige Bjork had two hits apiece for Sycamore. Knights’ reliever Ellissa Eckert, who got the victory despite a blown save, notched the only two strikeouts between the teams. Kaneland nearly was reminded of a conference loss to Yorkville in which it controlled the game until the late innings. In this instance, the Knights turned things around in time. “We got out of this one,” Callaghan said, “which is strong and a huge character-builder, so that was good.”

ting .316 with Plocinski (.444), Kirsten Searcy (.410), Anna Geary (.382) and Bridget Weitzel (.382) leading a formidable top of the order. As evidenced by its .445 on-base percentage, Geneva is having no trouble clogging the bases, either. “The South Elgin game is part of a recent trend where we just haven’t come up with a big hits with two outs,” Dierks said. “A couple of times we’ve had people make really solid contact with two outs and someone has made a nice defensive play on the other side. You just have to keep putting yourself in those positions and approach it mentally if you’re the kid at bat to have a productive at-bat.”

Family affair Wheaton Academy is off to a solid start under first-year coach Paul Gagliano. Gagliano inherited a Warriors program that returned his daughter, shortstop Marissa, who has made a verbal commitment to Radford University in Virginia. The junior has been on fire ever since she put on a Warrior uniform, reaching base in all 56 games played until Rosary

senior Cara Smoczynski retired Gagliano three times Monday in the Royals’ 6-1 win. In all, Gagliano has hit safely in 48 of 57 games, featuring a repertoire of bunts and slaps from the left side that allow her to take advantage of her speed. Besides coaching his daughter on the high school level for the first time, Paul Gagliano is at the helm of a Wheaton Academy program on the rise as a completely renovated field was unveiled Monday in the Warriors’ home opener. “The new field has been in the works for the last year-and-a-half – we feel good about it,” Gagliano said. “We’re excited about the school being able to provide this.” Marissa Gagliano plays on the Beverly Bandits during the summer. “It’s really excited to be coaching her again. I coached her for many years growing up in travel programs,” Paul Gagliano said. “I stepped back a couple of years ago to coach my younger daughter so she plays for the Beverly Bandits now.”

COACH SLY SEZ ... Sly wonders if it’s ever too early to start thinking about potential playoff matchups – particularly with the St. Charles schools. The two teams meet for the first time next week in what has always been a heated rivalry. Sly hasn’t forgotten the North Stars’ eight-inning,

7-6 win in regionals last year. Regional seeds and assignments have yet to be announced, but it seems inevitable that the two squads will run into each other in the postseason again this year. • You can respond at kcchronicle.com/blogs/sly.

TESS HUPE St. Charles East, Jr., OF What she did: Hupe has been one of the catalysts during East’s recent seven-game winning streak. The junior has several game-winning hits on the season and went 4 for 5 against Lake Park in East’s 14-2 drubbing of the Lancers. BROOKE GAYLORD Burlington Central, Jr., P What she did: Gaylord is right in the middle of the Rockets’ hot start, owning an 8-1 pitching record. The lefty tossed a complete game in Burlington Central’s 6-2 win over Geneva while going 3 for 3 at the plate with a home run and a double.

WHAT WE LEARNED LAST WEEK ... St. Charles East is for real. After an uneven start, the Saints have won seven in a row. During the winning streak, East’s pitching has been especially strong, shutting out Metea Valley while holding Naperville North and Bartlett to one run each. The crowning achievement for East last week was a 14-2 thrashing of Lake Park.

WHAT WE’LL LEARN IN THE WEEK AHEAD ... How good Burlington Central is. The Rockets are off to an 11-1 start thanks to new-found ace Brooke Gaylord, who is 8-1 in the circle. BC plays a home-and-home set with Harvard mid-week before traveling Saturday to St. Charles North. Even a split with the North Stars, who boast a tough top of the lineup, would be another sign that the Rockets are for real.

Geneva’s slow start to the season is a little deceptive. At 3-7, the Vikings are not where coach Greg Dierks wanted his team to be. But, factoring in the loss of top pitcher Natalie Erbe with an elbow injury and a recent tough schedule and it is easy to see why Geneva is four games under .500. Dierks, who guided the Vikings to an 18-18 mark in 2012, is now relying on junior Haley Orwig and freshman Emily Plucinski to replace the ailing Erbe. Dierks wouldn’t go into specifics of what is wrong with Erbe’s elbow, only mentioning that the senior would be out for “weeks.” “It started with a little elbow problem that she had before and it just seemed to get a little better and then it got a little worse and now it’s on the little worse side,” Dierks said. “She’s going to have an extended time where she’s not throwing. We’re going to have to use other options right now while she’s out.” The loss of Erbe made Geneva’s recent stretch of games all the more difficult. The Vikings lost to UEC Valley leader South Elgin 5-2 when they left 10 runners on base and out-hit the Storm, 11-6. The Vikings also lost to surging Burlington Central and reigning 3A champ Glenbard South, 12-4. The loss of Erbe coupled with a lack of timely hits have left Geneva with a lot of work to do. “Our conference plays good softball for the most part and our opening stretch through the other side of the conference has been tough,” Dierks said. “We have two more to get through on the other side and then hopefully we can get ourselves going in the right direction as we start our division play. We have had a few tough nonconference games mixed in there as well.” The one constant on the year for Geneva has been its ability to hit. Through Monday’s loss to Glenbard South, the Vikings are collectively hit-

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

FOSTER IGNOFFO

Why Ignoffo was selected: Won 100-meter dash and anchored winning 4x100 and 4x400 relays at Saturday’s VanDeveer Invite

What do you say about contributing so soon? It’s a true honor to run varsity as a freshman. As a freshman, I try to give it my all and get first place and just think you can beat all these girls. It’s just a really great experience to be running as a freshman.

Geneva • Girls Track • Freshman

Freshman Foster Ignoffo helped the host Geneva girls track and field team to a runner-up finish at Saturday’s Mike VanDeveer Invitational with a standout effort in the sprints. Also a talented club soccer forward, Ignoffo, the Kane County Chronicle-St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, spoke with sports reporter Kevin Druley about her meet. The following is an edited transcript:

PREP ROUNDUP

The 4x100 is young on the whole. What was the key in that race? We got those handoffs down really well, and then we all tried our hardest to get the time we wanted to. It was a little struggle with the wind, but we overcame that. You don’t run cross country, but you’re still busy, right? I also play soccer, and I’m on Eclipse [the same program as sophomore teammate and Northwestern soccer recruit Hannah Davison], and that’s really, really, really competitive. It’s hard for me to juggle both of these sports, so I have to go from track straight to soccer. I get a few minutes at home for one night, and then I have to leave track early for two of the nights to get to soccer.

HOROSCOPE By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

Fitz and The Tantrums to play sold-out show By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

TODAY – There is a strong possibility you might do something in the year ahead that will be of great import. Good luck will be vital to your enterprise, and you’ll have it in spades. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – The more progressive you are, especially when dealing with intangibles, the luckier you’ll get. The same cannot be said if you bog yourself down in traditional methods. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your financial prospects look to be promising, especially if you’re promoting something unusual. Don’t be scared off by questions of expense. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Helpful contacts can be established through a club or professional affiliation. What’s important is spending some quality time with the right people. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Things others deem too challenging won’t intimidate you in the slightest. Being in tune with your inner self gives you the ability to do anything you choose. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – There is no need to treat your inspirations indifferently. Anything you imagine you can accomplish, if you believe in yourself. So, have faith and get to work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t be timid if you have to make a critical change. For best results, go full throttle and don’t fall prey to second thoughts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – When change is called for on the home front, you should take your better half’s suggestions seriously. He or she is likely to spot some nuances that you’re overlooking. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You’ll spot a new way to make some additional earnings. It might be similar to something that has been generating extra income for a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Should you happen to meet someone whom you’d like to know better, make your intentions known. Don’t wait for this person to make the first move. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you think the timing is right to wrap up a matter that could enhance your prestige or security, go for it. Stop dragging your feet. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You could end up learning a lot by trying to teach something. If you have some constructive information to pass on, now is the time to do it. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – The well-intentioned tips of others can often be of little value. However, should a family member or colleague tell you something today, it might pay to be a good listener.

Los Angeles neo soul, indie pop band Fitz and The Tantrums hit it big with its 2010 debut album, “Pickin’ Up The Pieces,” which featured such hits as “MoneyGrabber” and “Don’t Gotta Work It Out.” But in making its latest album, “More Than Just A Dream,” the band tried to put the pressure to live up to that album’s success on the back burner. “More Than Just A Dream” will be released May 7. Fitz and The Tantrums is bound to play songs from the new album when it performs a sold-out show April 23 at the Double Door in Chicago. Kane County Chronicle reporter Eric Schelkopf had the chance to talk to bassist Joseph Karnes about the new album.

Eric Schelkopf: Are you guys looking forward to coming back to Chicago? Joseph Karnes: We always love coming back to Chicago. It’s a super important hub for us. The love we get there is huge. Any chance we have to come back is a good one.

ES: It seems like there is a real soul movement across the nation these days. Why do you think that is? JK: Usually soul has a lot to do with love songs, and everyone can relate to good love songs. It’s just really classic, timeless songwriting, that’s kind of what soul is to me. It’s really nice songwriting, with a terrific groove, of course.

ES: Talking about classic songwriting, who are your biggest musical inspirations? JK: For me personally, I can give you a list of bass players I love. As a band, we are kind of all over the place. For me, I love bass players like James Jamerson, who did all the Motown stuff, all the way to Tony Levin, who was Peter Gabriel’s bass player. If you are talking about the band, we really are all over the map as people and fans of music. On this new record, that comes to the foreground a little more, the diversity of our musical palette.

ES: In sitting down to make “More Than Just A Dream,” what were the band’s goals? JK: The goals really were to have no limits in our songwriting. We could

While we are very proud of that album, there’s a lot of other textures and sounds that we were starting to hear. As these songs were starting to come out, we really wanted to honor the songs themselves, and give them whatever they needed. We definitely wanted to push ourselves. Although we come from a soul and neo-soul revival kind of thing, we’re still trying to make new music. We’re trying to say something new. In creating this record, we also kept in mind our live show. We wanted to continue that vibe.

ES: Your last album, “Pickin’ Up The Pieces,” really connected with people. Did you think it would be such a hit and did you feel pressure to follow up that album? JK: You hope that people are going to like it, but everyone has been very surprised and humbled by the fact that people loved that record. We are always eternally grateful to our fans. It sounds like a cheesy thing to say, but it really is heartfelt. Without the fans, we are nothing. It’s never something that you can take for granted. It was definitely nice to see how much people responded to it. The sophomore record is always a tricky thing to get into. You’ve got a long time to make

your first record, and not as long of a time to write and make your next record. But in order to make people happy, we really have to make ourselves happy first. If we’re enjoying what we’re doing, it’s going to translate. We kind of had to put the pressure on the backburner, and just make music, and have fun doing it.

ES: So, you have to be true to yourself first? JK: It’s a little bit of both, but I think ultimately you have to be true to yourself. You want your fans to come along no matter what you do. If you’re going to go far away from a sound, you want to leave a trail of bread crumbs so people can follow you over there. Hopefully with this new record we haven’t done that. I think there are elements of songs in the style of “Pickin’ Up The Pieces,” but then we’re also really trying to push it forward. We just hope everybody comes along for the ride.

ES: You’ve worked with a lot of great musicians, including Van Dyke Parks, known for his work with The Beach Boys. Working with someone like him, what did you get out of the experience? JK: You get so much. His musical mind is just out of this world. He’s full of anecdotes, and has been everywhere and done everything.

Man dislikes wife’s affair with cellphone Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married 17 years. For the most part, our marriage has been great, and I love her very much. Lately, though, I have felt that our sexual and emotional intimacy has been lacking. I spoke to her about it recently and tried to explain how I feel. She has responded, and things are improving. Still, she spends most of her time on her cellphone checking email, Facebook, Pinterest and watching Netflix. At bedtime, she stays on her phone or laptop until after I have gone to bed. Even if we don’t have sex all the time, I would just like to be able to talk to her or hold her for a minute before we go to sleep. Any suggestions other than throwing her phone out the window? – Abandoned Husband In Utah Dear Abandoned: You say your wife has responded and things are hopeful. That means she is at least receptive to working on your marital relationship.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips The problems that cellphones cause in relationships is something I am hearing about with increasing frequency. People have become so dependent upon their digital companions that in some cases it’s impossible to turn them off because people have become literally addicted. In cases like this, a licensed therapist should be consulted. Dear Abby: Six months ago, I realized I had a drinking problem and decided to go through a chemical dependence program as an outpatient. I’m sober now and attend meetings a few times a week. My problem is someone I was barely acquainted with was also in the same program. I didn’t regard it as a problem at first, but now I’m concerned. At a meeting a few months ago, I mentioned to the group

that I also attend a meeting in another town closer to my home. Next thing I know, this man is attending the same meeting. I plan to attend a regional meeting at a resort over a weekend. Guess who has suddenly decided to do the same? I don’t want to compromise his sobriety, but I can’t stand seeing him at every meeting and event I attend. My husband is also bothered by it, and I’m considering not attending any meetings at all because he’s creeping me out. How should I handle this? – Sober And Creeped Out Dear Creeped Out: If there is a group moderator or contact, discuss this with that person. Because you want less contact with your “admirer,” look around for another group. Even if you will have to travel a bit farther, it will be worth the effort. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Take it slow and easy to avoid lightheadedness Dear Doctor K: I often feel lightheaded when I stand up, especially first thing in the morning. Why does this happen? Dear Reader: You are probably experiencing a drop in blood pressure when you stand up. This is called orthostatic hypotension. As a result, not enough blood reaches your brain, and you feel lightheaded or dizzy. When you stand up, gravity pulls the blood down. This causes blood to pool in the lower half of our bodies and blood pressure to drop. If it drops enough, you’ll have symptoms. Sensors in your major arteries signal your brain that your blood pressure has dropped. In response, the brain tells the heart to beat a little faster and stronger and blood vessels to constrict, which raises blood pressure. As a result, blood pressure and blood flow return more or less to normal. But with age and certain medical conditions, these compensations may falter. The heart doesn’t pump as well. Blood vessels get stiffer and less responsive. The sensors in the arteries become less sensitive, and the signals they send less effective. As a result, some people experience sizable drops in blood pressure when they stand up. (I’ve put an illustra-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tion on my website, AskDoctorK. com.) Here are some things you should try: • Take your time standing up. Move gradually from lying down to sitting to a standing position. This is particularly important at night (when you go to the bathroom) or in the morning when you awaken. That’s when orthostatic hypotension is most likely. • Try these maneuvers: Wiggle your toes and flex your feet before you stand up. This causes the muscles in your legs to squeeze more blood back up into your heart and to slightly raise blood pressure. • Review your medications with your doctor and maybe make a change. Some drugs can trigger orthostatic hypotension or make it worse. • Lift the head of your bed. Sleeping with your head higher than your feet keeps blood pressure higher. This causes your kidneys to release a hormone that increases blood pressure.

• Drink more fluids. Dehydration can cause blood pressure to drop. • Perhaps increase your salt intake. Unless you have high blood pressure already, this is a good idea. • Drink coffee in the morning. Caffeine boosts blood pressure. • Exercise more. Improving your cardiovascular fitness through exercise may help the problem go away. • Avoid straining. Straining to have a bowel movement or to pass urine (if you have an enlarged prostate) and coughing can cause blood pressure to briefly drop. Even laughing very hard can do it. Sometimes comedians really do leave the audience “rolling in the aisles.” When people start to get lightheaded from laughing hard, they instinctively get down on the floor to avoid falling. • Wear compression stockings. Special stockings that apply pressure on the lower half of the body can keep blood from pooling in the leg veins. This, in turn, increases blood pressure.

I want a female president Dr. Wallace: I attend a middle school of seventh-, eighth- and ninthgrade students. I’m in the seventh grade, but I totally ignore all the boys because they are so immature. I’d like to have a boyfriend, but I guess I’ll just have to wait until I’m in high school. All of my girlfriends feel the same way. I want an intelligent boyfriend. Most of the boys in our school run in the halls, yell at each other, eat like pigs in the cafeteria, rarely take a shower and try to dress cool and mod but actually look stupid. Also, most of them don’t appear to do much homework. Ugh! I can’t wait until we have a female president. – Nameless, Louisville, Ky. Dear Nameless: It’s true that girls mature both mentally and physically before boys, but Mother Nature is fair and allows boys to catch up with girls by about age 15. But there are always exceptions. I’m sure some of the boys who are your age are capable of meeting your high standards. You just haven’t been looking hard enough. Start by joining clubs and spending some time in the school library. Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and attending Orange Coast College. When I finish my formal education, I plan to be an elementary teacher. I consider myself a good person with only a few minor flaws and one major one – I smoke! I’ve been smoking regularly for more than three years. I’ve tried quitting, but I just can’t seem to shake the nicotine habit. I know that I have to eventually quit smoking for two reasons – my health and smelling like a fireplace when I teach. I’ve been told that if I switch to a low-tar cigarette, it would be less dangerous and easier to

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace stop smoking altogether. Is this true? – Nameless, Costa Mesa, Calif. Dear Nameless: The American Lung Association says that low-tar cigarettes often produce higher levels of harmful chemicals. Furthermore, smokers, in order to get a full ration of nicotine, simply inhale low-tar cigarettes more frequently and more deeply, or smoke more of them. Your best bet is to draw upon your own strong will. Visualize yourself as a healthy non-smoker who looks good, feels good, and smells good! If you stay strong, it won’t take long to reach your goal, and you’ll be glad you did. You’ll also have more cash in your wallet! Dr. Wallace: I am friends with a girl at school, but it’s getting difficult to be her friend because she is devious and is always telling lies. I want to remain her friend, but I’m not so sure that I will. If I like a certain boy, she automatically starts flirting with him. It’s like she was born to make my life miserable. What can I do to get her to stop hurting me? – Nameless, Galesburg, Ill. Dear Nameless: The best way to get this false friend to stop hurting you is to stop hanging around with her. She probably is incapable of acting like a real friend, and instead, twists friendship until it feels more like having an enemy. She needs you, but, believe me, you do not need her! • Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.

He leads the spade queen: five, two, king. South plays on clubs, putting West back in. What should he do next? What do you think of South’s one-no-trump response? I think it is better than raising clubs, which might be only a 4-3 fit. But if three no-trump is the best final contract, probably it would be preferable for the opener, with the stronger hand, to be the declarer. Some Souths would respond with an imaginative one diamond (and I might do that if the spades and diamonds were reversed). Note South’s taking the first trick with the king. Usually declarer should win with the top of touching honors from the closed hand. Trick one in no-trump can be an exception. If he wins with the ace, it advertises strength, because with only the ace, he would make the holdup play. East’s spade two denies a high honor. So South is marked with seven points in spades and, with the club ace out of the way, nine winners (two spades, three hearts and four clubs). There isn’t a moment to lose. West should go center stage and shift to the diamond queen, hoping East has at least A-J-10-x-x or A-J-9-x-x-x.

All bids will remain firm for 90 days after the bid opening. The Geneva Park District reserves the right to reject any or all bid proposals or to accept any bid proposal, which in its judgment, will be in the best interest of the public or to waive any informalities in bidding.

No bids shall be withdrawn after the opening of the bids for a period of ninety (90) days after the bid date opening. The Geneva Park District encourages small and minority businesses and women's business firms to submit bids on the approved project and successful contract bidders to utilize small and minority businesses and women's businesses as sub-contractors for supplies, equipment, services, and construction.
