Time is right to hunt for tiger beetles This six-spotted tiger beetle sports six spots, plus some bits of clay and a couple rain drops, as it moves slowly from its burrow one recent cold day.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto I’ve never, by any stretch of the imagination, been considered quick. I can’t dash, I don’t dart. In fact, the only time I recall moving with any speed at all was once when I was being chased by a horde of angry wasps. A flat-out sprint, and they still got me. Given that track record, it’s only fitting that much of the wildlife I know best is, well, slow. Snails, for example. We all know what pace they move at. And freshwater mussels, bless their little two-chambered hearts; they make snails seem like speeding maniacs. So imagine my delight when, amid last week’s rain and cool weather, I stumbled on an insect that usually far exceeds my capacity to keep up: the six-spotted tiger beetle. Several of these normally fast-as-lightning insects have taken refuge from the weather by retreating into burrows in the clay-like piles of shale we have arranged in the Hickory Knolls Natural Area. All would have been well for the beetles except that the shale piles were there for 375 Haines Middle School geology students to dig through in search of fossils. Besides unearthing Ordovician brachiopods and bryozoans, the kids also brought up several chilled tigers. The beetles, awakened from their semi-torpid state, seemed dazed and confused. And slow. What was not-so-great luck for the tiger beetles turned out to be a very fortunate occurrence for me and the students in my field trip group. Tiger beetles are about as close to winged gems as you’ll ever find here in Kane County. Their elytra, or leathery wing covers, are a bright, metallic-looking green. The six spots in their name can be present or absent, or range up to as many as 12 and are whitish in color. Stylish too, these beetles sport white mandibles that match their spots and are characteristic traits – that is, they

are present even if the spots are not. It’s these strong, overlapping mandibles, or jaws, that allow the insects to fulfill their important ecological niche. Six-spotted tiger beetles, and their many tiger beetle cousins, are predators that consume a wide variety of arthropods. Ants, moths, spiders, even other beetles can’t escape the tenacious tigers, which snatch their quarries both on the ground and in the air. Their larvae, although less mobile, are equally voracious. Lacking wings, they hang out at their burrow openings, waiting for unsuspecting prey to come along. When a meal comes within range, they pop up, seize the hapless creature, then retreat to dine in the relative safety of their tube-like homes. Adult six-spotted tiger beetles are an undeniable part of woodland walks in early summer. Though they’re only

about a half inch in length, their brilliant colors and quick movements make them hard to miss. Look for the beetles on trails in or near wooded areas. They can be found on the ground as well as on objects such as rocks or logs. One moment they are perfectly still, the next they are turning one way or another, always orienting toward movements they perceive. This wariness actually serves a dual purpose. Besides scoping out the landscape for potential prey, tiger beetles also have to make sure they do not become prey themselves. As fierce as they may be, and despite a distasteful chemical defense, tiger beetles are preyed upon by birds, as well as other insects like dragonflies and robber flies. The weather forecast calls for warm temperatures and mostly sunny skies over these next few days, conditions that

are ideal for stalking tiger beetles. If you’d like to try and spot some for yourself, head out for a walk in the woods. When you see a beetle up ahead, slow down and try to keep your shadow behind you. If the insect startles and flees, follow it with your eyes; these territorial tigers rarely fly far and will often end up circling back after only a few minutes. Or you could wait for the next cold, rainy day, and head for the shale piles at Hickory Knolls. If your timing’s right, you may run into a busload of sixth-graders armed with trowels, or maybe a slow, lumbering naturalist to help you with your hunt.

Ill. lawmakers approve medical marijuana bill Local legislators divided on the measure By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com Illinois doctors soon may win the right to prescribe limited doses of marijuana to treat certain medical conditions after Illinois lawmakers endorsed a measure legalizing medical marijuana. The Illinois State Senate voted 35-21 to approve the legislation Friday. Under the law, which passed the Illinois State House last month, restrictions would be lifted on the ability of doctors to give their patients access to small amounts of marijuana from state-regulated dispensaries for easing the symptoms of 33 specific diseases or maladies. Local lawmakers were split on the measure. State senators Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, Linda Holmes, D-Plainfield, and Dave Syverson, R-Rockford, whose district includes a large portion of western Kane County, voted in support. State Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-St. Charles, opposed the measure. In the state House, state representatives Bob

Pritchard, R-Hinckley, and Linda Chapa Lavia, D-Aurora, supported the measure. State representatives Kay Hatcher, R-Yorkville, Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia, and Mike Fortner, R-West Chicago, opposed the bill. Opponents of the bill argued the measure would encourage the recreational use of marijuana, particularly among teens. They also believed that the law did not sufficiently address the issue of drivers operating vehicles while under the influence of marijuana. McConnaughay said she did not believe the state should have acted on the measure until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration weighs in. And she said she was concerned by “an overall silence” on the issue by police and their representatives at the state level on enforcement. The Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and the Illinois Sheriffs Association both opposed the bill. “I think there was real trepidation at a local level on this, and I don’t believe the bill addresses the concerns,”

McConnaughay said. Supporters of the measure, however, said the measure was rooted in compassion for those suffering from debilitating illnesses. “As a father and a husband, if my loved one was in pain and nauseous from treatment … I’d do whatever I could to help,” Syverson said. “From that standpoint, I think that’s worth a try.” On the question of enforcement, supporters have pointed to provisions in the bill spelling out penalties for those violating the law, and a requirement that all those holding a medical marijuana permit undergo field sobriety tests should they be involved in a police traffic stop. Syverson said safeguards in the bill will prevent Illinois from becoming Colorado or California in terms of how easily someone can get a prescription for medical marijuana. Oberweis did not respond to a request for comment from the Kane County Chronicle. The measure now awaits a decision from Gov. Pat Quinn, who has not publicly indicated whether he supports the

8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays. Applications are due by noon May 31. Call the township offices at 630-584-9342 for information.

Rogina: Alderman to begin on June 17 By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Mayor Ray Rogina hopes a new 3rd Ward alderman will be in place by June 17, he said Friday, the day applications for the term were due. Rogina vacated the seat when he became St. Charles mayor this month. The term expires in 2015. The Mayor’s Office did not return a call Friday that sought the number of applications Ray Rogina received; the deadline was 4:30 p.m. A week ago, staff reported that four people had submitted resumes and a letter of interest. Rogina said a news release containing the candidates’ names will be issued after he checks the applications Monday. He has said the selection

process will be open and transparent. A subcommittee of aldermen, including 3rd Ward Alderman Bill Turner, will narrow the list to three finalists, Rogina said. The St. Charles City Council will interview each of the finalists and meet in executive session June 3 to make a selection, he said. Rogina wants to give the new alderman time to acclimate to the position, he said, so the earliest he or she will serve on the council is June 17. The City Council last filled a vacant term in December 2010. Maureen Lewis was selected among four other applicants to serve the remainder of the 5th Ward seat David Richards vacated. He resigned from his post within a week of pleading guilty to a disorderly conduct charge in West Chicago. Lewis was seated on the council the night her appointment was announced.

8LOCAL BRIEFS Wilson to perform May 24 ST. CHARLES – Country music star Gretchen Wilson will perform at 8 p.m. Friday at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles. Tickets for the show featuring the Grammy Award-winning performer start at $39. For information, visit www.oshows. com. The Arcada is at 105 E. Main St., St. Charles.

Ex-Marmion student sues over experiment By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com AURORA – A former Marmion Academy student is suing the school, alleging negligence in a science experiment in which he claimed he was injured after he slipped and fell on his face when he was set on fire. In court papers filed recently in Kane County, Zachary Bennett, now 18, alleges the private college-prep school at 1000 Butterfield Road, Aurora, was negligent in allowing a science teacher to create a dangerous situation in which Bennett was injured. The suit seeks more than $50,000 in damages, asserting Bennett suffered permanent injuries to his face and teeth, incurred medical bills and suffered pain and emotional distress because of the school’s negligence. According to court records, the first court date for the case is Aug. 1. Through a spokesman, the school’s headmaster James Quaid, would not comment. Bennett’s attorney did not return a message seeking comment. The science teacher’s school voicemail was full, so a message could not be left. A message left on a home answering machine was not returned.

The injury occurred while Bennett attended Marmion in 2010 as a junior, and was part of a group project to create an experiment. According to the lawsuit, chemistry teacher Steven Bush approved the proposed experiment – to coat parts of their bodies with a layer of polyacrylate solution as a heat barrier below a layer of soap bubbles filled with methane gas, then ignite the methane soap bubbles. On May 11, 2010, the experiment was performed under Bush’s supervision. The materials first were applied to Bennett’s hands, then expanded to his entire body, first while lying down – without impressive results – then standing up, according to the lawsuit. Bennett’s entire body was covered with the polyacrylate solution and soap bubbles filled with methane gas while he stood on a gym towel and was ignited again, the suit states. Bennett “panicked when the resulting burst of fire went upwards toward his face, took a step backwards off of the towel, slipped on the combination of soapy water and polyacrylate solution covering the floor, and fell forward hitting his face on the floor,” the suit stated.

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – A bond-reduction hearing Friday for a Sycamore man accused of driving under the influence in a fatal four-car crash that killed an 11-yearold boy was continued to next month. Benjamin J. Black, 28, is being held at the Kane County Jail on $250,000 bond. Ten percent, or $25,000, is required to be posted for his release. Black was charged with three counts of felony aggravated DUI in connection with the death of one person and the

severe injury to another, and driving without insurance while under the influence of heroin. He also was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. The next court date is June 26. Geneva at- Benjamin J. t o r n e y D . J . Black Tegeler, representing Black, filed court papers May 9 asking that his client be released on a personal recognizance bond. According to the filing, Tegeler argued that although his client

is employed, Black is unable to raise that much money, that he is a first-time offender with no prior convictions and is not a flight risk because of his ties to the community. “The amount of the bond set is a hardship on the defendant and violates the defendant’s right to a presumption of innocence … [and] impairs the ability of the defendant to assemble witnesses for his defense, which is fundamental to his right to a fair trial,” according to the court papers Tegeler filed. Tegeler said his client decided to continue a scheduled hearing to reduce the bond,

Teen, mom sue STC country club over ’09 incident By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A guest of the St. Charles Country Club is suing the facility for injuries she sustained when a motorized equipment vehicle overturned, pinned her and dragged her, causing permanent injuries and disfigurement, according to court papers filed this week in Kane County. Hannah Braulick of St. Charles was 16 at the time she was injured July 9, 2009. She is seeking more than $50,000 in damages. Her mother, Barbara Braulick, also is suing the country club, seeking more than $50,000 in damages for medical costs related to her daughter’s injuries. According to the lawsuit. Hannah Braulick, who was a guest at an employee party held at the private country club, 1250 Country Club Road, St. Charles, was riding

in a motorized equipment vehicle driven by an employee. The lawsuit asserts that the country club failed to maintain control of its vehicle and allowed more people in it than was safe, making it more likely to tip over. And when the employee who was driving it turned sharply, it did tip over, pinning Braulick under it and dragging her along the pavement, the lawsuit states. Deb Doerr-Wiesemann, the food and beverage director at the country club, said she did not know anything about a lawsuit. After a copy was faxed to the country club, Doerr-Wiesemann was unavailable for comment and did not return a voicemail message. The Braulicks’ attorney did not return an email message seeking comment. Hannah Braulick, now 20, deferred questions to her mother, who would not comment.

GRADUATION 2013: This is day five in a five-day series celebrating our local graduating seniors.

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com

North Star By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com Fabiola Ortiz said she was hesitant about treading unfamiliar territory when she decided to change high schools her senior year. But now that she’s graduating from St. Charles North High School, she said it was the right choice. She transferred to St. Charles North from Elgin High School because she felt North offered better academic and athletic opportunities. However, the transition wasn’t easy at first. “It was pretty difficult because I didn’t know anyone, and I’ve always been a people-person and I like to talk a lot,” she said. But she quickly found her footing when she joined the school’s cheerleading team, and also was a state qualifier on the cross country team. She said spiritual guidance from God helped get her through, too. Her guardian, Deborah Adamczyk, said Ortiz has grown a lot from her experience in the last year.

Student blossomed during senior year at St. Charles North

“I’m very proud of her choice,” she said. “She chose the hard path and blossomed from it.” The Kane County Chronicle this week is highlighting local high school seniors as graduation season nears. Ortiz said the opportunity to attend a larger high school helped push her academically and on the field. “At Elgin, I was the No. 1 runner,” she said. “At North, there were a lot more experienced girls [on the cross country team], and that helped me go on and qualify for state.” Ortiz plans to attend the University of Dubuque in Iowa, where she hopes to pursue a major that will allow her to work with children, such as child psychology or working with children who have disabilities. “I like to talk to kids. I want them to feel free to talk and not feel anxiety of getting something right or wrong,” she said, noting that her co-workers at the ice cream shop where she works often point out that she uses her “baby voice” when she encounters children. When she moves into her dorm room

at the University of Dubuque on Aug. 25, she’ll be the first in her immediate family to attend college. She’ll also be the first of her siblings to complete high school, as her younger brother is 13 years old, and her older sister received her general educational development diploma. Ortiz initially thought about following in Adamczyk’s career path in the healthcare field, and said she was interested in working with younger children. “I’m more pulled to understand them – how they think, how they react,” Ortiz said. “I think that interests me more than trying to help them become healthy. If you help someone physically, that’s temporary. If you help someone psychologically, that’s longer-term.” Ortiz said she’s preparing to live on her own for the first time and said she’s learning how to cook for herself. But heading to college still seems a little surreal. “I don’t think it’s truly hit me yet,” she said. “I’m excited to graduate – that’s what I’m more focused on now.”

It was pretty dificult because I didn’t know anyone, and I’ve always been a people-person and I like to talk a lot.” – Fabiola Ortiz, on transferring to St. Charles North High School

St. Charles North High School senior Fabiola Ortiz is seen with her dog, Sam. Ortiz will attend the University of Dubuque in the fall where she hopes to pursue a major that will allow her to work with children, such as child psychology or working with children who have disabilities.

Following the paths of some of his family members, Robert Paul, a graduating senior from St. Charles North High School, is heading to the University of Illinois to study a combination of two subjects he loves – computers and engineering. Paul said he’s loved taking apart and building computers since he was a little kid, and said he would sometimes opt to stay indoors while his friends played outside just so he could tinker with computers. Paul said the University of Illinois’ computer engineering department has a good reputation, and that’s the only Robert Paul school he applied to. It’s also the alma mater of two of his siblings and an aunt. But that doesn’t make his departure from St. Charles North any easier, he said. “I absolutely love high school,” he said. “I never want to leave.” During his four years at North, Paul said he was the co-founder of the Blue Fan Group, a group of students who cheer on the North Stars at athletic competitions. He also was elected as prom court royalty and participated in the Mr. St. Charles North pageant and school talent show. Paul, 18, also played soccer and tennis, was a Peer Leadership Advisor, a teacher’s assistant in the school’s math lab and spent time as a peer minister. He said while he’s looking forward to a new chapter at the University of Illinois, he’s reluctant to leave behind the relationships he has built with his teachers, especially as he anticipates sitting in large lecture halls in college. “... I’m a little scared,” he said. “I just love having relationships with my teachers. It’s so much more independent [in college].”

ST. CHARLES – Summit 303 on Mental Health: A Component of School Security completed its collection of information after three sessions and is canceling the fourth set for Thursday, according to St. Charles School District 303. The Summit 303 steering committee will formulate the general agreements and action plan at its next work session in early June. Topics covered by the community engagement sessions in this edition of Summit 303

included an overview of how mental health is a component of school security, signs that a neighbor or loved one might be struggling with a mental health issue and places in the Tri-Cities to access support for mental health issues. District 303 was joined and supported in this effort by the St. Charles Education Association, the city of St. Charles, the St. Charles Police Department, the St. Charles Public Library, several faith-based community organizations and mental health and wellness organizations in the Tri-Cities.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Congratulations to Class of 2013 In the next month, thousands of area high school seniors will receive that coveted document that essentially says their childhood is over. As they walk across stages, take possession of their diplomas during commencement ceremonies, and move the tassel from the right side to the left of their graduation caps, we hope they see it as a passport of sorts. That piece of paper is their ticket to the next chapter of their lives. Whether it be heading to the local community college, a four-year university, an Ivy League school, the military or into the workforce, it’s their de facto admission to adulthood. And if the success many have demonstrated during their high school days is any indication, they’re going to enter it with gusto. This week the Kane County Chronicle profiled 11 outstanding high school seniors from the Tri-Cities and Kaneland. We’ve written about their endeavors in academics, athletics, school activities and community volunteer work. These 11 students – and the thousands more like them that we wish we had the time and space to profile this week – represent the very best of our communities. They excel in what they do, whether it’s acing a musical solo, dreaming of the next technological wonder or compassionately caring for those in need. We’re proud of their accomplishments, and hope you, as their neighbors,

are too. We commend their parents and grandparents as well, for setting good examples and encouraging excellence in their children. Graduates, no matter where the next chapter leads you, we hope you approach it with a sense of purpose and adventure. Continue learning – and not just from books or lectures. Soak in as many experiences as you can. Put your smartphone down and have actual conversations. Explore places that long to be discovered. Fall in love. Get your heart broken. Do something that scares you. Find a passion and inhibit it wholeheartedly. Make a point of listening to those who have a different viewpoint than you – and learn to respect them for it, even if you don’t agree with it. You’re going to enter the workforce during uncertain economic times. The road will be bumpy, so be prepared to strap yourself down when the turbulence hits. Nonetheless, pursue a career you’re going to love. Realize you’re likely not getting your ideal job right out of college, but dream about that perfect job – and go for it. And then, come back home and share what you’ve learned. Our communities need residents passionate about what they do and committed to improving the world around them. We need you. Class of 2013, we congratulate you. Best wishes as you embark on the next part of the journey.

Is this another bubble? We can’t know without better data BLOOMBERG NEWS In recent months, soaring prices of stocks and bonds have left many investors wondering whether the potential returns are worth the risk. So is it a bubble? To get a sense, it is helpful to know what is driving prices higher. If investors are putting in very little of their own money and using a lot of borrowed money, also known as leverage, that can be a troubling signal. Leverage makes the whole financial system more fragile. Investors who use only their own money can lose no more than 100 percent of what they put in. By contrast, an investor who uses $1 million of his own money and $99 million of borrowed money to

buy $100 million in securities can be wiped out by a price drop of only 1 percent – the new value of the investment, at $99 million, is just enough to pay off the debt. Larger declines can force investors to sell other assets to pay their creditors, a dynamic that can turn seemingly isolated losses into widespread disasters. Economists have long advocated that regulators pay more attention to leverage and do a better job of measuring it. In a 2011 paper, John Geanakoplos of Yale University and Lasse Pedersen of New York University proposed publishing a suite of leverage indicators. In consumer markets such as mortgages and auto loans, they would monitor down payments. Data on new trans-

actions would offer insight into what was driving current buying, while averages for all loans outstanding would give a sense of the market’s fragility. To a large extent, regulators are on board. Unfortunately, a sense of urgency might be getting lost in broader efforts to monitor systemic risk. Almost six years after the last financial crisis began, we are again reaching a point where robust, transparent measures of leverage would help regulators and investors understand whether markets are headed for trouble. The data would be relatively easy to produce, and officials have all the powers they need to do so. What are we waiting for?

good. The place looks like a dump. Please tear it down, it’s spoiling the looks of Geneva. And also, if we had more parking, more people would come here for the different activities we have.

Government for the people? Batavians are complaining about their property taxes. Don’t they understand that taxes have to go up, so city government can continue to fund their lame-brain projects? Why is it that just a few are given the power over so many? Government was meant to work for the people, not against the people.

Can someone please tell me why the cost of regular gasoline is 30 cents higher in the Tri-Cities than it is in Maple Park. Is this another big ripoff?

Tear them down Let’s hope that the Batavia City Council and its longtime Batavia resident, Mayor Schielke, follows Geneva’s lead. Geneva [could] demolish the Mill Race Inn restaurant. The city of Batavia should do the same thing with the former First Baptist Church. Tear it down so the building does not become a hindrance in redeveloping the corner of

Washington and Wilson.

Do something about the guns I can’t believe that everybody can’t see all the random shooting that’s going on. Even the National Rifle Association could see that it’s unbelievable, and people are using their guns for whatever they want. It’s getting out of hand. Why doesn’t somebody do something about it? It’s killing people and shooting all the time. It doesn’t seem like a civilized society. Somebody should do something about it.

I’m calling to congratulate the editorial staff for these features on the graduating seniors. It’s really nice to read about kids who are working hard and making their impact in something other than just sports. I love sports, and I think athletes deserve some attention, but it seems that they get almost all the attention, and it’s really nice to read about some of these other kids who have worked hard in music and journalism and leadership roles, and how they are going to make an impact on our world. Congratulations for doing this. I sure hope you continue this every year, and I’d love to see a similar series on each of our valedictorians from our local high schools. I’d like to hear about each of them and where they’re going. Those are the kind of kids who are probably going to change the world in a positive way. Thanks for putting those in.

Mid-Valley students prepare care packages for soldiers By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Students at the Mades-Johnstone Center in St. Charles didn’t hesitate Friday to tell Kathy Tobusch, co-chair of Fox Valley Troop Support, about their personal connections to the nation’s armed forces. Interrupting a conversation, one boy told her that his dad is expected to deploy to Afghanistan this summer. Tobusch – who was at the Mid-Valley Special Education Cooperative school to talk to students about care packages for soldiers – promised to send a package to the boy’s father. Tobusch, whose two sons have deployed to Iraq, said it was great that the students spent weeks collecting items for the soldiers and took time Friday to package them. “That shows they really care,” she said. Students spent about a halfhour selecting items such as personal hygiene products, flip-flops, movies and Girl Scout cookies for the soldiers.

If you go What: Fox Valley Troop Support spring care package event When: 5 to 8 p.m. May 31 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 1 Where: Batavia VFW, 645 S. River St., Batavia As the flat-rate shipping boxes filled up, some students sat on the floor, trying to make everything fit. “To me, this is a super important thing,” teacher Meg Bingham said, handing the students more letters to put in their boxes. The service project shows them they can serve others, she said, and it teaches them others are making huge sacrifices for them. “They find value in it,” Bingham said. This is the second time Mid-Valley has partnered with Fox Valley Troop Support, she said. Because the two groups serve the same areas – Batavia, Kaneland, Geneva, Central and St. Charles school districts – it’s a natural fit, she

said. Fox Valley Troop Support sends anywhere from 55 too 100 boxes a month, Tobusch said. She noted the need is especially great this time of year because people tend to forget about the program after Christmas. The organization accepts donations – cash is always accepted to pay for the $13.30 shipping as are such items as baby wipes and other personal hygiene products, Tobusch said. “Anything to remind them of home,” troop support member Peggy Reese said, adding soldiers love getting letters from kids. “It might be the one thing that turns a bad day good,” Tobusch said. She said those wanting to volunteer may do so May 31 and June 1, the group’s spring care package event at the Batavia VFW, 645 S. River St., Batavia. Sorting is scheduled for 5 to 8 p.m. May 31, and packing is set for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 1, or whenever all the boxes are packed, she said.

21 Public Informational Meeting on Proposed Project at Fermilab Interested citizens are invited to a public informational meeting to learn about a new science project planned by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), its Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the Sanford Underground Research Facility. The proposed Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) would send a beam of neutrinos 800 miles through the earth from Fermilab in Illinois to a new detector at the Sanford Lab in South Dakota. Fermilab has been conducting neutrino experiments for 30 years and several years ago constructed a similar project that sends neutrinos from Fermilab through the earth to a detector in Minnesota. This new project would build on the results from that research. The LBNE would greatly broaden scientific understanding of neutrinos, which make up a significant portion of our universe. DOE is preparing an environmental assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to consider the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project. The LBNE public informational meeting at Fermilab will feature a range of illustrative posters and brief presentations on the proposed project and the NEPA process, followed by an opportunity for the community to discuss the project with LBNE scientists and project leaders. The meeting will be:

Thursday, May 23, 2013 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Fermilab, Wilson Hall Atrium Kirk Road and Pine Street Batavia, Illinois More information on the project is available at http://lbne.fnal.gov/env-assessment.shtml.

Saints relay clocks best time in prelims By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – St. Charles East’s 4x400-meter relay wasn’t at full strength until sectionals. Elizabeth Chmelik was out with a stress fracture, while her sister, Allison, had missed time with a thigh strain. At Friday’s IHSA Class 3A Girls Track and Field State preliminaries, the Saints’ 4x400 was certainly clicking, beating its sectional time by nearly seven seconds with a mark of 3:51.93. The relay, which featured the Chmelik sisters, Jordan Shead and Britney Williams, had the top time in Class 3A. The relay’s goal was to make the finals and get a personal best, and both were accomplished.

Extra-inning win gives Saints share of title

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Saturday, May 18, 2013

By JARED BIRCHFIELD editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – At first, it looked as if the St. Charles baseball teams would have a short afternoon Friday. The teams resumed a scoreless game suspended by rain in the fifth inning from May 2, and East scratched out a run in the top of the seventh for a 1-0 lead, and was one strike away from a victory when North tied the game. The Saints needed three more innings to beat the pesky North Stars, 3-1, in 10 innings. The victory earned East (2210, 19-6) a slice of the Upstate Eight River Conference River crown. The Saints are sharing the top spot with Batavia, which clinched its piece of the crown Thursday. Both teams resumed the game with different pitchers than they used earlier this month. The Saints’ Joe Hoscheit

took over for Mike Boehmer, while North’s Frankie Farry took the hill in place of Sawyer Chambers. East made the most of two hits that Farry surrendered. Anthony Sciarrino opened the Saints’ seventh win a single. Catcher Adam Rojas moved him over to second with a sacrifice bunt, and Anthony Sciarrino adSciarrino vance to third on a passed ball. Sciarrino was poised to tag up when the North Stars left fielder dropped Sean Dunn’s fly ball, allowing Sciarrino to easily score. “We took advantage of that one mistake. I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep [Sciarrino] going.” Saints coach Len Asquini said of the play. “When the fielder dropped the ball, it made my

decision easy.” Hoscheit gave up a single to Cory Wright between two strikeouts in the bottom of the seventh. The senior got two quick strikes on Farry, the fourth hitter in the inning. After working the count to 2-2, Farry hit a single to left that scored Wright from second for the tying run. Hoscheit induced Kyle Khoury to ground out to shortstop to end the inning. North coach Todd Genke saluted Farry’s effort. “I give him a ton of credit for pitching. He hasn’t pitched in a while,” Genke said. “He took the ball and went out there and really did an awesome job for us, and then getting that big hit. That was huge.” East regained the lead in the top of the 10th. Jack Dellostritto opened the inning by getting hit by a Farry pitch. He stole second, advance to third on a ground-

“We took advantage of that one mistake. I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep [Sciarrino] going. When the fielder dropped the ball, it made my decision easy.” Len Asquini, St. Charles East baseball coach out and scored on a passed ball. Brian Sobieksi’s double to left-center, the only extra base hit of the game, scored Hoscheit, who was intentionally walked. “We were so ready for this game. We got that run in the seventh and we were down to the last strike,” Hoscheit said. “Give them credit. They got a hit and scored that run. It was good to see our team come back after that.” The host North Stars (15-17, 11-14) threatened again in the bottom of the 10th, loading the bases on walks. Hoscheit (2-1) gave up the

first two. The senior pitcher struck out nine batters. “He found himself after giving up the walks to start game and then he threw well for us,” Asquini said. “He really battled.” With two outs, East’s Troy Dykhuis replaced Hoscheit on the mound and walked the first batter he faced. He struck out Riley Coomes to end the threat and the game. The North Stars scrapped a nonconference game with York to accommodate Friday’s rescheduled one with the Saints, which was going to be played only if it affected the conference championship.

We put in a good hit in this thing.” • Several teammates needled St. Charles East senior Matt Allen for raising his arms as he crossed the finish line with the 300 hurdles title. Allen happily absorbed the joking after overcoming recent technique issues and delivering a personal-best time of 40.54. “The last couple meets, I’ve been struggling with the rhythm of the race and I’ve been screwing up about halfway through. At conference, I finished fifth,” Allen said. “But I worked hard this last week on my rhythm and making sure all my steps in between the hurdles were right. And I mean, it worked.” • Good or bad, Batavia coach Dennis Piron found there were several more talking points from the Bulldogs’ night than their quartet of state-bound entries. A handful of close calls – including

Clayton Siemsen, who was nine hundreths of a second from finishing second and advancing in the 110 hurdles – also were on Piron’s mind. “You’ve got seniors who it’s their last races, who have been great leaders for you. Like [hurdler] Omar Medina and kids,” he said. “It’s just really an emotional thing, you know. Our kids have all run PRs. Been a great night for our program. Just boy, oh boy. It’s so tough.” • Marmion senior Jake Ruddy won the long jump in 22-4 in his first attempt of the season. Ruddy, of Batavia, broke bones in both wrists in February during a basketball accident in PE class. He was hanging on the rim after a dunk and used his hands to brace an awkward fall. There’s still a soft cast on his left arm, but Ruddy and the crowd will see it in Charleston after he made the most of a few days of workouts. “After Wednesday’s practice, I felt like I hadn’t left the pit,” Ruddy said. “It was all there today and felt great.”

HOFFMAN ESTATES – Geneva junior Tim Roels coaxed a smile between deep breaths Friday night, grinning after Vikings coach Gale Gross leaned in to deliver a joke. Given the emotional high Roels was riding after his victory in the 200 meters, why not jump into the final track event of the 3A Hoffman Estates Boys Track and Field Sectional, the 4x400 relay? Roels politely declined in the name of catching his wind and wits, but later erupted with teammates when the Vikings learned they had won a surprise sectional title. A healthy Geneva contingent is coming to next week’s state meet at Eastern Illinois’ O’Brien Stadium in Charleston, and Roels, a double-qualifier and blue track newbie, can’t wait. “I’m excited to run on that blue-lane track,” Roels said. “Obviously, it’s my team colors, so hopefully that’ll give me a little extra boost.” Four sectional champions highlighted Geneva’s haul of seven qualifiers. Pole vault winner Tim Guthrie established a school record by clearing 14 feet, 11 inches. In the 1,600, Bradley-bound Mike Bianchina continued a spirited climb back from a broken leg suffered during last year’s sectionals to claim his event. Roels nearly made it five sectional champs for the Vikings, but was officially second in the 100 when Schaumburg’s Shandall Thomas won the virtual tie after the race was taken to hundreths of a second. Both athletes initially crossed at 11.05. By any count, Geneva will take the momentum. St. Charles North – which finished third Friday – placed ahead of Geneva at last week’s Upstate Eight Conference Meet. Batavia reigned among the league’s River Division teams when that meet was re-scored. “The kids were absolutely awesome. Absolutely awesome,” Gross said. “I wish I would have saw most of it.” Like the rest of his counterparts, Gross milled about the Hoffman Estates grounds charting each of the night’s 18 events. Here’s a look at some other highlights: • North qualified three of the four relays, winning two. The 4x400 of Jack Feeney, Connor Larson, Tyler Ingham and Zach Kirby – a quartet that competed at the Penn Relays earlier this season – took second, falling to Larkin by 16 hundreths of a second. Kirby made a stealthy charge down the back-stretch to nearly take the lead. “As a team, we came in and we wanted to make some noise in this meet, and I thought we did that. We reached that

IHSA CLASS 3A LAKE PARK REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: BATAVIA 4, LAKE PARK 2

• Batavia advances to the Hoffman Estates Sectional and will face the winner of the GenevaSt. Charles East match Tuesday.

happens at Batavia, but we want to make it a common occurrence here,” Batavia coach Mark Gianfrancesco said. “We played for a regional title last year against Conant. We had a lot of young players and it was their first experience with that. Those players are back again this year and obviously, I think, used some of that experience to get this win.”

There’s a chance Batavia could see Conant again in the Hoffman Estates Sectional championship game Friday, but first the Bulldogs (13-4-3) will have to get past either St. Charles East or Geneva on Tuesday. Batavia dropped a 4-2 decision early in the season to the Saints and tied the Vikings, 1-1. The Bulldogs also drew with Lake Park in their first meeting this season. “We had the game in hand, but didn’t finish our chances,” Gianfrancesco said of the first Lake Park match. “They came back and tied it with like 10 minutes left. Third game of the season. Kind of a bad taste in our mouth. This was one we wanted.” The Bulldogs made sure they finished a good percentage of their scoring opportunities in this meeting with the Lancers (15-6-1). Senior forward Grace Andrews scored on two of Batavia’s first four shots on goal in the first half.

The first came just seven minutes into the contest when Andrews beat Lake Park keeper Rebecca Thorne off a long pass by Brittany Wahlen. “It was a good opportunity,” Andrews said. “I just ran onto the ball. Megan kind of blocked out one of the defenders and I just got there right before the keeper. It just went right over the keeper, so it was a good ball.” Andrews put the Bulldogs up 2-0 with 17:26 left in the first half when a Lake Park defender misplayed a long ball from McEachern. “It was kind of the same thing [as the first goal],” Andrews said. “I was sprinting a diagonal across the field and I basically just touched it. I was there at the right time.” The Lancers got that goal back less than two minutes later when Jillian Kent bent a corner kick past keeper Nikki Seiton, who appeared to be anticipating a header flick from

a player at the near post. “Even when they scored, we didn’t lose any composure,” Gianfrancesco said. “We stayed focused. We still were pressing them, still creating chances.” That paid off early in the second half when Stone scored what proved to be the game-winning goal off an Anna Zeyen free kick from just outside the right corner of the box. “I don’t really know what happened,” Stone said. “I saw the ball go through and I just kicked it and was hoping it was going in the net. I saw it go off the post and from there it was all excitement.” There was more excitement for the Bulldogs with 16:47 remaining in the match. Sophomore midfielder Alexis Bryl’s long shot caused a brief moment of indecision for Thorne and it wound up bouncing over the keeper’s head and into the goal.

IHSA CLASS 2A ROCHELLE REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: ROSARY 2, KANELAND 1 (2OT)

Rosary still has Kaneland’s number in postseason By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com ROCHELLE – The Kaneland girls soccer team owned the momentum in overtime of Friday’s IHSA Class 2A Rochelle Regional championship match against Rosary. But Rosary had Quincy Kellett’s blazing quickness at the right spot and the right time, which was enough to put the Royals over the top for a 2-1, double-overtime triumph over the Knights. Rosary sophomore defender Maria Witte’s shot didn’t make it through a congested box but Kellett was first to the carom, and deposited a shot from point-blank range past Kaneland’s standout goalkeeper Jordan Ginther for the 2-1 advantage with 1:48 to play in the second, 10-minute OT session. “The defender that was coming at me just seemed to be just walking toward the ball,” Kellett said. “I don’t even remember, I just saw the ball

and saw the goalie coming out. She’s an aggressive goalie, so I tried to get it in the goal before she got to me.” Kellett, a sophomore forward who has been a prolific finisher throughout her Royals career, showed she’s as capable of pouncing on a rebound as beating defenders on long runs upfield. “She’s not only fast, but Quincy Kellett she does have those great instincts,” Rosary coach Kristy Kane said. “She just seems to go to the right place, and when she gets pushed down, she pops right back up, so it’s like she never got pushed over in the first place.” With the win, the Royals (15-3-3) advance to Wednesday’s Freeport Sectional semifinals against Prairie Ridge. Friday marked the third time in four years Rosary

has eliminated Kaneland in a regional title match. The Knights still are looking for their first regional crown in program history. “I’m really, really sick of Rosary,” Kaneland coach Scott Parillo said. “But the girls played hard, so we’ll walk away with our heads high. It’s unfortunate, we haven’t lost to a 2A school all year, so here we go. … Who is it, of course, Rosary.”

The Knights (11-5-3) appeared headed for defeat in regulation until Kaneland junior Brittany Olson jumped on a loose ball in the box for the tying score with 1:20 to go in the second half. Energized by the dramatic equalizer and with some of Rosary’s top players banged up late in the match, the Knights continued their surge in overtime. Freshman Gabby Cano had a solid chance in the first overtime that Royals goalkeeper Lauren Frasca stopped, and Frasca made an even snazzier save in the second overtime on a shot by Knights sophomore Courtney Diddell that was curling toward the upper-right corner of the net. The match was scoreless at halftime but Rosary dominated the early stages of the second half, including the game’s first goal from Geneva resident and Michigan State recruit Kaitlin Johnson off a Kellett assist just more than two minutes in to the half.

Rosary’s Kellett and Kaneland’s Diddell both hit the crossbar on attempts during the second half as the teams – who tied during a meeting early in the regular season – again showed that they’re of similar quality. But in the end, it was again the Royals celebrating and the Knights fighting tears. “I think the girls knew [the history] because a lot of these seniors have been on the varsity since freshman year, so they’ve been there for it,” Kane said. “I think they knew it. We didn’t talk about it that much because we wanted to focus on playing our game, but we knew today was going to be a really tough game. We did not underestimate them at all.” Next stop for the Royals – an even longer trek than Rochelle. “I’ve never been to Freeport before,” Kane said. “I’m excited to go to Freeport, which I don’t think would happen under normal circumstances.”

ROSELLE – For a few moments Friday after Batavia’s 4-2 victory over host Lake Park, Shelby Stone held the IHSA Class 3A regional championship plaque high above her head, a look of immense satisfaction on her face. “It’s a great feeling, especially being a senior this year,” the Bulldogs midfielder said. “This is what we’ve been striving for all year. We finally did it. We haven’t done it in a while and that was our first goal on our list this year – to get a regional championship in the books for us.” No current Bulldogs were in high school the last time Batavia won a regional title, which was 2002 according to the IHSA website. Some, like freshman forward Megan McEachern, weren’t even in grade school yet. “It’s not something that

North dominates 2nd half of Crosstown Classic

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Saturday, May 18, 2013

By IAN MATTHEWS editorial@kcchronicle.com ST CHARLES – Somehow, some way, a trophy was going to be hoisted Friday night at the Eastside Sports Complex. A few weeks after rain postponed the second annual Crosstown Classic between the St. Charles East and St. Charles North boys lacrosse teams, the radar was once again working against both teams in a bid to play the annual bragging rights game. A few raindrops didn’t get in the way, however, as the North Stars turned a close game into a rout, outscoring the Saints 9-0 in the second half on their way to a triumphant 15-5 victory. North picked apart the younger Saints in the second half, scoring three goals in a one-minute span at the start of the fourth quarter. Nick McCullough scored four goals for the North Stars, including three in the second half, to propel North to the emotional win. McCullough said his team was able to overcome a rough early start in which East scored the first two goals of the game, putting North on its heels. “We were going back and forth with the key being the faceoffs,” McCullough said. “We weren’t winning many of those in the first half and then in the second half, we started winning them and that’s when we started getting momentum. We came out with a good

Hickey added another goal early in the second quarter before North (11-4) began to chip away. McCullough’s first score of the game came on a pass into the crease from Riley Martin that made it 3-2 East before Martin tied the game with a low screamer that found the net with 9:58 to go in the first half. “We just knew we had to pick up the momentum after the first half,” McCullough said. “We knew that if we did that and moved the ball around, things would fall into place.” Things more than fell into place for North after entering halftime with a 6-5 lead. McCullough scored his second goal of the contest with 5:58 to go in the third that made it 7-5, and the North Stars were in command from there. North coach Sean McCaffrey credited goalie Alec Da-

toli for helping spearhead the defensive effort in the second half for the North Stars. “Alec had a shutout in a half earlier in the season so that doesn’t surprise me, but we rallied around our goalie tonight,” McCaffrey said. “We calmed down and rallied in the second half around faceoff-man Mike Jasica.” Jasica was having trouble with faceoffs early in the game as East dominated play early in the first half. That changed midway through the first quarter as North was able to

eventually tie the game. “The intensity was there, and I think we caught them off guard at the start of the game,” East coach Chris Connor said. “We just kind of lost our edge. It kind of got out of hand there a little bit. That’s what happens when you have a young team and you don’t know how to bounce back. We have a lot of younger guys who are trying to learn the ropes.” Hickey led East with two goals while Canning, Nate Campana and Justin Kranicki each had one.

ditions. I think we know that it’s different this time around. “We’ve changed a lot. We’ve grown a lot as a team.” Much of that growth has come on the offensive end, where the Vikings have produced 36 goals during their current seven-match winning streak. The most recent of those wins was a 5-0 victory Tuesday against Bartlett in the regional semifinal at Streamwood’s Millennium Field. “We struggled with [scoring] a little early on just because there were a bunch of new players in the mix but we’re really coming on and clicking when we need to be at the end of the season,” Owens said. “Hopefully, we can keep it up and make a run.” The Saints, meanwhile, are coming off a 12-0 thrashing of Larkin in the match that preceded Geneva-Bartlett.

Daley’s parents, Sean and Lisa, have worked with the school on the program, and East students were instrumental in fundraising efforts throughout the year.

Hawks await next move from Datsyuk CHICAGO – Let’s say you play for the Blackhawks. Let’s say you’re trying to defend Detroit Red Wings magician-forward Pavel Datsyuk. Nine times out of 10, you’re probably going to look foolish. That doesn’t mean you’re a bad hockey player – because you’re not. In this thought experiment, you are a great hockey player, just not as great as the Wings’ 34-yearold center. Don’t take my word for it. Ask Patrick Sharp, who so far has been the Hawks’ most valuable player of the postseason. Sharp has six goals and several key takeaways in the playoffs but still isn’t sure whether the best strategy against Datsyuk is to sit back and defend the puck or charge forward and play the body. “I mean, pick your poison,” Sharp said Friday after the Hawks practiced at the United Center. “He’s one of those guys that can be standing still and make you

He’s physical, as well, so if you rush at him, he’s always got the ability to knock you over. “It’s pretty scary when he’s coming down at you with the puck.” Then again, the Hawks have an entire team that looks pretty scary to the rest of the league. They’ll look to increase their series lead to 2-0 today in the Western Conference semifinals when they host the Red Wings for a nationally televised matinée game. The Hawks are smart enough to prepare for a Game 2 pushback from the Wings, who were dominated in Wednesday’s series opener while being outscored, 4-1, and outshot, 42-21. Remarkably, Datsyuk registered no shots on goal after recording 49 points in the regular season.

Another goose egg is unlikely today from the talented Russian. He had seven points in seven games against the Anaheim Ducks in Round 1 and has 101 career points in the playoffs. That’s why Hawks coach Joel Quenneville told his players to pay special attention to No. 13. “Still dangerous,” said Quenneville, who coached the St. Louis Blues when Datsyuk entered the league in 2001-02. “I think that when you watch him play, there are so many things that he can do in the course of a game. He’s still a threat no matter what situation he’s presented with. “He’s one of those players that does things nobody else can do. He does things that can wow you. So that’s an ongoing challenge.” Of the Hawks’ forwards, Patrick Kane’s playing style most closely resembles that of Datsyuk. Both have the ability to weave through defenders, and both can fire a puck to the back of the net just as easily as they can snap

Those similarities are no coincidence. Although Kane is a decade younger than Datsyuk, he studied the Wings’ playmaker during his formative years as a star prospect. “He’s a great player,” Kane said. “He’s one of those guys that before I came to the NHL, any time the Red Wings were on TV, you’d try to watch because of the things he does on the ice.” Nothing foolish about that. • Northwest Herald sports columnist Tom Musick can be reached at tmusick@shawmedia.com and on Twitter @ tcmusick.

KERNELS 4, COUGARS 3 (12 INN.)

Cougars fall in 12 innings KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – In a seesaw battle that was tied three times, Travis Harrison delivered the walk-off RBI single in the 12th inning as the Kane County Cougars dropped the opener of a four-game series to the Cedar Rapids Kernels, 4-3, on Friday. After the Cougars danced around trouble by stranding runners in scoring position in the 10th and 11th innings, Nathan Dorris walked the leadoff batter in the 12th. A sacrifice bunt and wild pitch moved Jorge Polanco to third base with one out. Cedar Rapids third baseman Travis Harrison followed and hit a ball down the third-base line past a diving Jeimer Candelario to drive in the winning run. The loss overshadows the pitching by the Cougars on Friday. In his second start of the season, Dillon Maples worked five innings and allowed two runs on two hits.

The Geneva girls soccer team has played 160 minutes against St. Charles East this season with zero goals to show for it. A pair of Saints victories against the Vikings in the first week of April – one in Upstate Eight Conference River play, the other as part of East’s Rose Augsburg-Drach tournament – reinforce the seeding that makes East a favorite in today’s IHSA Class 3A Bartlett Regional final, but neither coach puts much credence in those early-spring matches. Saints coach Paul Jennison called East’s wins against Geneva “irrelevant” at this stage of the postseason, and Geneva coach Megan Owens was only slightly less direct. “I think we know what we did wrong the first time around,” Owens said. “We played them twice in one week in cold, cold weather and not the best field con-

Kaneland boys track cleans up at sectional

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Saturday, May 18, 2013

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE STERLING – Qualifying for the boys state track meet isn’t anything new for Dylan Nauert. The Kaneland junior had advanced to the season’s final weekend in the 300 hurdles in both his freshman and sophomore seasons. But at Friday’s IHSA Class 2A Sterling Sectional, Nauert outdid his previous two performances. Nauert was a double-winner, taking first in the 110 high hurdles in 15.33 seconds and winning the 300 hurdles in 39.00. “To do a double is amazing,” Nauert said. “It’s really exciting going downstate.” Kaneland easily won the team championship, capturing 151 points while Winnebago was second with 68 points. Kaneland’s 4x800 team of Conor Johnson, Kyle Carter, Luis Acosta and Nate Kucera took first in 7:55.09, more than six seconds better than their seed time. Kaneland also won the 4x400 relay. Nate Dyer took first in the shot put with a mark of 51-04. The Knights’ Dylan Kuipers and Kory Harner took first and second place respectively in the pole vault. Kaneland’s Tanner Andrews jumped 44-09 to win the triple jump.

Construction project at Lippold Park disheartening I’ve had impulses, from time to time, to take on certain polarizing issues related to children and families. But I generally don’t. Friends and acquaintances occasionally quip, “Sounds like there’s a column here!” when such issues arise, and still, I don’t. I imagine they’re disappointed when, as I’m blessed with such a platform, I don’t use it to stir up more dust. I’ve got plenty of fire in my belly, but I just don’t feel called to add fuel to most debates. There will always be others who will, and who will do so quite capably. What I do feel called to do, however, is to offer a brief respite from the turbulence that often surrounds us – by noticing and shedding a little light upon, the magic, wonder and sweetness possible and already present in an ordinary life. But when that sweetness feels threatened, as I felt it was Tuesday morning when I pedaled past what remains of the formerly picturesque pond at Lippold Park in Batavia, the fire in my belly roars. What once was an enchanting scene, complete with sheltering trees, an old wooden footbridge and a sleepy pond, home to several shy turtles who sunned on each other’s backs on the old log that poked up out of the water – who always dove underwater whenever anyone got too close – is now a noisy construction site. Bulldozers rip up the landscape. Wood-chippers chew up the trees (several perfectly healthy-looking trees were felled as I watched Thursday morning). A chain-link fence keeps the curious out, while, nearby, signs warn of the hazards. Too bad turtles can’t read. I cried. I had to get off my bike to blow my nose, actually, to keep from crashing into the bridge around the next bend. My favorite Dr. Seuss story, “The Lorax,” immediately came to mind, wherein Seuss, speaking through the character of the Lorax, warns against mindless progress and the danger it poses to the earth and its inhabitants. But is the development at Lippold mindless? When I inquired about it Thursday morning at the Red Oak Nature Center in Aurora, which is just south on the bike path (on the east side of the Fox River), a young woman explained that

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose the Fox Valley Park District is “reconstructing” the pond “to make it more accessible.” “For whom?” I asked. “Our visitors,” she replied. But what about the family of turtles, who appeared quite at home there? She then explained that the relative “health” of the pond has declined in recent years due to a buildup of silt, a natural effect of rain run-off. Jeff Long, public relations manager for the park district, tells me that this has caused a decline in the turtles’ – and frogs’ – numbers, which their visitors like to study. According to the master plan for Lippold Park published by the Fox Valley Park District in 2008, restoration of the natural lands that comprise the 41-acre riverfront property includes the construction of a pedestrian-friendly boardwalk around a new pond, and “a new building that will be built to showcase green technology and sustainability and serve as an indoor/outdoor staging area for education and user groups.” The mission statement for the project includes a vision of Lippold as a place “where visitors can actively engage in a caring and responsible connection with the natural world so that they better understand how the local ecosystem and individual actions relate to the global environment.” To what end? So they can learn how not to unwittingly disturb – let alone, destroy – other creatures’ habitats? Am I alone in seeing the irony here? When I asked if anyone made sure the turtles were safe before the bulldozers showed up, I was told that, “We couldn’t do that.” “You couldn’t?” I asked. “They [the turtles] have plenty of wetlands they can move to,” said the woman at the park district. But why should they have to? What was wrong with letting nature take its own course, and allowing the turtles to make a migration when they were ready, if they felt the pond wasn’t

actually “healthy?” “I want to reassure you that everything is going to be for the better,” said Long. A self-professed, lifelong green guy, he insists that “Our intentions are good… It’s going to be beautiful.” Maybe. But tell that to the turtles, whose eggs are perhaps being crushed by those dozers. As for being beautiful, I can’t imagine the nerve it takes to rival Mother Nature’s own idyllic design. Who do we think we are? I’m not the only one who wonders. As I sat on the grass and watched as another tree fell, someone out for a stroll on the bike path approached. “Do you know what they’re doing?” he asked. We practically had to shout to hear each other over the wood-chipper, but Rick Walker, a resident of Aurora who was also very familiar with the old pond, admits that he’s “on the side of Mother Nature.” That said, he and I agree that there’s a lot to like about the Fox Valley Park District, much of which I have yet to explore. He’s a huge fan of disc golf, for example, and my son and I participate in their canoe and kayak race down the Fox River every June. And, boy, I sure do enjoy my rides on the bike path – which, I admit, while relatively low-impact (on the environment), came about because of progress. ••• By the time my daughter and I stopped at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Geneva Wednesday evening, when I passed a sherriff’s vehicle in the parking lot – parked and running, no deputy in sight – I decided it was time to speak up. I’d watched yet another neighbor’s lawn being sprayed with poison just that morning, and this was the last straw. (I confess, I paid one of those companies, 16 years ago, to do the same thing. But then I had a miscarriage. And I wondered. And I never hired them again. The doctor called it a “blighted ovum.” Blighted, indeed, but by what? No one can truly ever isolate the potential variables involved. “Don’t get arrested, Mom,” Holly whispered, as we spotted the young deputy at the check-out counter. “Excuse me,” I said, “but did you leave your car running?” I asked.

“Yes, I did,” he replied. “Why?” “My system just rebooted. Oh, did you think I left the keys in the ignition?” He asked, smiling. “No, I wasn’t concerned about that,” I replied. “I was concerned about the gas and the environment.” Oh, that. My concern extends way beyond the issue of our tax dollars at work. I worry about the little ones, kids and critters alike, and the simple things we all can do to make the world a better place for all of them. It’s really not so hard, is it? To strike a balance between what we want and what’s actually good for them? I am hopeful that, going forward, every decision about every improvement will include even more thoughtful debate about whether each one is really absolutely necessary. And if it is, is there a lesser-impactful way to accomplish it? “I see what you mean,” Long finally conceded, after I asked if the trees felled at Lippold were diseased. (He’d said that 80 percent of ash trees are diseased, these days.) When I asked if these were, too, he admitted that he didn’t know. In any case, they weren’t part of the master plan, so down they came. I wouldn’t dream of presuming I could ever adequately “speak for the trees,” as the Lorax hopes we will, or for the quiet turtles, the grass, or even the plucky dandelions (whom I regret I unwittingly dissed in my recent “May basket” column), but I will say this: Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. Just because we don’t understand her plan doesn’t mean she requires our “help.” More pavement? Another sign? Another bench? Do yourself a favor and lay on your backs on the grass – if you can find any that hasn’t been subdued with cancer-causing poison, that is – and stare up at the clouds. Then, roll over and watch the dear turtle families and their neighbors quietly go about the business of making a life. But you, and the turtles, may want to steer clear of Lippold Park, for a while. I just hope they made it.

Tomato sunscald and damage from uneven temperatures can be avoided during this year’s gardening season.

Protect tomatoes this summer BY CATHERINE HARRINGTON editorial@kcchronicle.com I recently attended a telenet presentation at the University of Illinois Extension Office. This program, “All About Tomatoes,” was presented by Elizabeth Wahle, an extension educator. I wasn’t sure I would learn anything new about tomatoes. I was wrong! It is disappointing when tomatoes end up with a problem defined as “cracking.” This problem is caused by environmental stress, fluctuations in the moisture of the soil, a lack of good leaf cover, and fluctuations in air temperature. It can help to place mulch or straw around the soil to help keep the temperature even and the soil moist. When there is a lack of leaf cover, tomatoes may end up with sunscald. Part of the fruit becomes tough and dries out. Your tomatoes will not get a sunburn if they are protected by their own leaves or a shading material. Tomatoes with cracking, or sunscald, may not appear attractive; however, they are safe to eat. Simply cut off the affected part and consume the remainder of the tomato. Gardeners occasionally report healthy tomato plants, green and lush, with no fruit growing on them. The cause of this problem has

many possibilities. Warm day and night temperatures can reduce flower production. Also, when night temperatures dip below 55 degrees, plants may drop their flowers. The best night temperature range for setting fruit is between 58 and 68 degrees. Daylight temperatures above 90 degrees with low humidity, can cause flowers to drop. Small or overgrown plants may remain vegetative... green leaves, no fruit! Too much light interferes with the setting of the fruit. As Miss Wahle said, “turn off the porch light!” Pay attention to the temperature. The best time to plant tomatoes outdoors is two weeks after the last frost date. Select a different location in your garden for your tomatoes each season. Raised beds provide ideal drainage. A tomato cage, or trellis, protects the plant. Water with care to avoid splashing the fruit. Should you find a big fat tomato worm feeding on your plant, escort him from the garden. Wishing you all a bountiful tomato harvest!

Your Money Matters: Tip #16 “Got to have a mortgage,” your coffee drinking buddy announces. “Really need that tax deduction don’t you know”. Of course, you nod. Of course, we all know how important tax deductions are.

The Humke Group

Be Careful. For most of us, all debt is bad — even mortgage debt. This is because all debt will rob you of future choice. Mortgage payments rob a retiree of a trip to see her grandson. College loan payments preempt the 22 year old from starting her family. Credit card payments cut future spending options. Here’s the truth: All the mortgage tax deduction does is pay part of your interest cost. If your mortgage interest cost is 4% and you’re in the 25% tax bracket, Uncle Sam ends up paying 1% of your 4% cost. You still have a cost. You still have to make payments. You are still out-of-pocket for 3%. RESOLVE: That debt is bad. Even mortgage debt. RESOLVE: To have your mortgage paid off by the time you’re ready to retire. Forget the mortgage deduction. RESOLVE: To show this to your kids. They need to realize that a big mortgage with a big tax deduction is not better than a smaller mortgage with a smaller tax deduction. The big mortgage still robs them of cash, even after the tax saving. Rett Humke, Certiﬁed Financial Planner: (630) 377-7133.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS Frank Capra (1897-1991), film director; Pope John Paul II (1920-2005), Roman Catholic leader; Reggie Jackson (1946), baseball player; Tina Fey (1970), actress/comedian; Jack Johnson (1975), singer/songwriter. – United Feature Syndicate

HOROSCOPE By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – There’s a strong possibility that in coming months you will become involved in an endeavor that requires secrecy. It could either bomb or turn out better than you anticipate. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Unless you think for yourself, others will do your brainwork for you. You might not be too happy about what they come up with. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Think through your moves carefully when it comes to financial dealings. Impulsive behavior will instigate numerous errors. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – What others think of you might be more important than usual. Be careful that you don’t do anything that could lower the high esteem in which you’re now held. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Follow a previously conceived plan for a project to the letter. On-the-spot changes could seriously gum up the works. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – By being too inquisitive, you are likely to ask questions whose answers you don’t want to hear. What you don’t know can’t hurt you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Success is likely if you continue to use the same methods that have worked well in the past. Making revisions could throw you off course. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t let your ego cause you to take an unsupportable position. Your pride can get you in some extremely hot water, if you’re not careful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Matters that affect your earnings must be given top priority. If something of a frivolous nature should pop up, put it on the back burner where it belongs. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Even though you might not get the last word in every instance, don’t let it frustrate you. If you’re patient, you’ll still be able to make your most important points. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You’ll make good progress on your goals, though few will be completed. Be grateful for whatever headway you do end up making. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – When socializing with friends, find the balance between cheapness and extravagance. Don’t spend more than you can afford, but don’t hold back, either. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A situation that has been souring a close relationship with a friend can be resolved, if you’re motivated to do it. Both parties must be forthright.

The cast of “Sightseers” includes Alice Lowe and Steve Oram. The film was directed by Ben Wheatley.

‘Sightseers’ walks line between funny and repellent By AL ALEXANDER More Content Now Vacations can be murder. Just ask Chris and Tina, our homicidal traveling companions for the darkly funny satire, “Sightseers.” They’re British, you know – meaning they like everything just so. And if it’s not, you’d better watch your back or they just might back over you with their massive Abbey Oxford Caravan. Soooo messy! In their psychopathic minds, your life is a small price to pay if they can rid the gorgeous English countryside of litterbugs and pompous prigs who act superior whenever they encounter working-class grunts like themselves. And judging by the number of bloody stuff-shirt stiffs they leave in their wake, a weeklong tour of the nation’s Midlands is going to keep them very busy. Almost too busy to enjoy their visits to the Crich Tramway, the Riddlehead Viaduct and the pièce de résistance , the Keswick Pencil Museum, all sites the “worldly” Chris feels his sheltered little wallflower Tina must see in order to fully understand him. They’re played by comedians Steve

‘Sightseers’ Rating: B Rated: Unrated, but contains violence, language and sexual situations. Oram and Alice Lowe, who honed the script over many a year and through many an incarnation (including, amazingly, a TV pilot the BBC deemed too dark) before ending up in the welcoming company of director Ben Wheatley, himself a jolly good fan of the macabre. The result is a dream team – or a nightmare, depending on your sense of humor – of warped, but rational thinking when it comes to providing a disturbingly cathartic experience for folks who simply find other humans annoying. Walking an extremely thin line between funny and repellent, the demented trio lives to make you squirm, especially when you catch yourself laughing when Chris bludgeons an elitist hiker to death after he dares chastise Tina for not picking up her dog’s poop. You feel even worse when the couple’s murdering ways start to become

routine. But the slayings are but a metaphor for the frustrations of two peons tired of being stepped on. The real blood and guts of “Sightseers” is the evolving (devolving?) relationship between Chris and Tina, a couple of social outcasts who grow repulsed by their attraction to each other. Yes, it’s funny and dark, but it’s also unconventionally insightful and full of heart – or at least the hearts that are left beating. The only mistake Oram and Lowe make is in letting the movie run on. Even at a tidy 88 minutes it feels stretched. It’s an exercise in controlled offensiveness better suited to a sketch by “Portlandia’s” brilliant team of Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, who Oram and Lowe are seemingly trying to emulate (“Portsmouthia”?) with their edgy, ab-lib style of comedy. They’re not quite in the same league with Armisen and Brownstein yet, but they certainly make for a great daytrip while “Portlandia” is enjoying a summer vacation – hopefully somewhere other than the British Midlands, where death never takes a holiday.

Mom dreads rivalry between siblings Should part of DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Many forms of vasculitis can be treated Dear Doctor K: My father recently saw his doctor, complaining of fever, fatigue, joint pain and rashes. His doctor suspects vasculitis. What is vasculitis? How is it diagnosed and treated? Dear Reader: Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels. This inflammation can be severe enough to reduce blood flow to tissues and organs. We don’t know for sure what causes it, but scientists believe it is an autoimmune disease. For some reason, the immune system mistakenly attacks the blood vessels, causing them to become inflamed. Under the microscope, you can see immune system cells next to the walls of blood vessels, and the walls have been damaged (presumably by the attack). There are many different types of vasculitis, affecting blood vessels of different sizes and in different locations. The various forms also differ by the age at which they typically begin and the symptoms they cause. Following are the types of vasculitis your father may be dealing with: • Giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis) affects medium to large arteries, including those around the scalp, face, eyes. This type also affects the aorta as it branches from the heart, up into the neck

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and head. • Takayasu arteritis affects the body’s biggest artery, the aorta, and its main branches. • Polyarteritis nodosa affects small- to medium-sized blood vessels, especially in the skin, intestines, kidneys and nerves. • Kawasaki disease is particularly likely to involve the arteries of the heart. It occurs mainly in children and can cause fatal heart attacks in young children. • Hypersensitivity vasculitis affects the smallest blood vessels, especially those in the skin. It is triggered by an allergy, particularly to a drug. • Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s) affects smalland medium-sized blood vessels in the kidneys and in the upper and lower respiratory tract. • Vasculitis due to rheumatologic diseases. The two most common of these diseases to produce vasculitis are systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) and rheumatoid arthritis. • Vasculitis due to infection. Certain viruses cause vasculitis.

Two examples are hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus. The most accurate way to diagnose vasculitis is with a tissue biopsy. The doctor removes a small tissue sample from an organ (such as skin, muscle, nerve or kidney) to be examined in a laboratory. Before a biopsy, however, the doctor is likely to do some less invasive tests. These may include blood tests to check for inflammation, immune system activity, and liver and kidney function. Urine analysis may also be done to evaluate possible kidney problems. The main treatment for most types of vasculitis is prednisone. This corticosteroid works by reducing inflammation. Additional treatments depend on the form of vasculitis. For example, a doctor may treat giant cell arteritis with an immune-suppressing medication. The intensity and duration of the treatment depends on the type and cause of the vasculitis. The good news is that most cases of vasculitis can be treated successfully.

allowance be saved?

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-year-old young lady. I’m very thankful that my parents give me an allowance of $15 a week, and I do all of my assigned chores faithfully. But, now comes my problem. My dad is forcing me to put $5 of my weekly allowance in the bank. He says that he is teaching me the value of saving for a “rainy day.” Well, for me, it rains every day. Whenever I attend a school function, including athletic events, plays, musicals, dances, etc., I have to buy a ticket. Do you think I should be allowed to spend my allowance for whatever I need to survive and enjoy school activities? – Katy, Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Katy: I’m not disagreeing with the way your parents’ rule on your allowance that $5 must be saved for a “rainy day.” They set the rules, not some guy who writes a teen column in the newspaper. I believe that allowance money, if family funds allow, should be given with no restriction on how it is spent, except for those things that are forbidden. The time to save for a rainy day will arrive when you get a job. Dr. Wallace: I read in a recent column about a teen who was unable to get a job until she got rid of a tattoo. I am one of many employers who will not hire someone with a visible tattoo. Not only does it make us uneasy, but we worry that it makes customers uneasy, as well, and that affects our business. People need to consider this before they get a tattoo. Although it might be the “cool thing to do,” is it worth it to be unemployable? Teens, I also want you to know that there

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace are a few other taboos: pierced eyebrows, noses, lips and tongues, and pants that hang down on the butt looking like they’re falling down. Most employers won’t tell you that they are turning you down for these reasons; they just don’t hire you. Be forewarned. – Employer, Willmar, Minn.

Dear Employer: Thanks for sharing your requirements for hiring. Some employers do hire regardless of the applicant’s appearance, but I believe some qualified employees lose out because of their appearance. Dr. Wallace: Until a few days ago I had a super boyfriend who I loved very much, and I know that he loved me. The problem is that his mother made him break up with me because of something I said to his younger sister. I now realize my mistake. What can I do to change his mom’s opinion about me? – Nameless, Lake Charles, La. Dear Nameless: Call your boyfriend’s mother and do a lot of explaining and a lot of apologizing. Most people are forgiving. Much depends on the content of the conversation you had with your boyfriend’s sister. If it was “serious stuff,” then you might start looking for a new boyfriend. • Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although he is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as many as possible in this column. Email him at rwallace@galesburg. net.

sooner or later. Dear Abby: I am a 40-something divorced female. After my divorce I met a man I enjoyed being with. He led me to believe he cared for me. It was a vulnerable time for me and, unfortunately, I let my guard down. I did something stupid and co-signed for a student loan for him. He has stopped making payments, has blocked my calls, moved, etc., and now I’m stuck with the financial burden. I have learned that he had a fiancee while we were involved and they are now married. Abby, he was bilking me the whole time. I need to know what legal recourse I have. I regret that I didn’t keep my guard up, and I don’t feel he should get away with this. What should I do now? – Let My Guard Down in Ohio Dear Let Your Guard Down: It

appears you have been the victim of a fraud. If I were you, the first thing I’d do is share his address with the loan company. Then I’d discuss this matter with the police to find out if he has a history of bilking women and if I could file charges. If that isn’t possible, the next thing I’d do is talk with a lawyer about any legal remedies available to me. Dear Abby: I work in the media and meet a lot of people. I have arthritis in my hands. I have always believed in a firm handshake, but I’m finding that receiving one is crippling my hand. I don’t want to appear unfriendly by not reciprocating a handshake, but I don’t want my hand to ache for hours on end after meeting someone. Any suggestions? – Hurting in Dover, Del. Dear Hurting: It would not be unfriendly to simply say, “It’s nice to meet you, but I can’t shake hands because I have arthritis.” Many people do, and it’s the truth.

ADVICE | Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com

Dear Abby: I am the mother of a 5-year-old daughter I’ll call Mandy. Her father and I separated when she was 16 months old and now we are divorced. I have just learned that my ex is having a baby boy with a woman he has stated he does not love and isn’t even in a committed relationship with. I would like to protect Mandy from any pain this might cause her because she is a Daddy’s girl. How should I deal with this and maintain my composure regarding the sibling who will now forever be a part of my daughter’s life? – Stressed Out in San Diego Dear Stressed Out: It is not appropriate to show your disgust with this situation to your daughter. Because your ex has gone on record that he doesn’t love the woman he impregnated, and he is not in a committed relationship with her, you may be worrying needlessly. If Mandy interacts with her half brother she will have to learn to SHARE, which is an important life lesson every child must learn

A weak hand with a long minor

CELEBRITY CIPHER

We have been looking at Stayman, but exactly how it operates is influenced by your other notrump responses. In today’s deal, look at the South hand. Your partner opens one no-trump, showing 15-17 points. After East passes, what would you respond? The first question is: Does your partnership use transfers into the minors? If you do, you should go via that route, perhaps responding two spades. (And then two clubs followed by three clubs would show a four-card major, long clubs and at least enough points for game.) If, however, you do not transfer into the minors, traditionally responder bids two clubs, initially treated as Stayman, then rebids three clubs, which is a drop-dead sequence. The responder has a long club suit in a weak hand, and opener is expected to pass. More logical is to play an immediate jump to three of a minor as a sign-off. Then two clubs followed by three clubs shows a long minor (with or without a four-card major), at least enough points for game and either worry that three no-trump might fail and five of a minor make, or interest in a slam. In this deal, let’s assume you jump to three clubs as a sign-off. West leads the spade 10. Note that one no-trump by North should be defeated by a heart lead. Here, you want to restrict your losers to one spade, one heart and two clubs. You should plan to take two diamond finesses and to start the club suit from the dummy (lead up to honors). If your first trump play is from hand, you will have to lead the king to squash East’s jack – but why guess?
