Civil War celebration comes to Batavia The Depot Museum in Batavia is one of more than 1,800 museums across America to offer free admission to military personnel and their families this summer in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families and the Department of Defense. The free admission program is available to all current and former military personnel and up to five of their family members.

“Blue Star Museums is a collaboration between the arts and military communities,” said NEA acting Chairman Joan Shigekawa. “Our work with Blue Star Families and museums ensures that we can reach out to military families and thank them for their service and sacrifice.”

The Batavia Depot Museum’s exhibit “Red, White & Blue” focuses on the day in the life of a soldier. The exhibit will be on display through Sept. 1. The exhibit also runs in alignment with the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. What better way to help remember than to recognize the Batavia and Fox Valley participants in the war?

Chris Winter, curator of the Depot Museum, is responsible for bringing the exhibits to life, which isn’t an easy task.

“I put about a month to two months of time into researching and finding artifacts or

The Depot Museum in Batavia offers free admission to military personnel and their families this summer. photographs for display before the exhibit even goes up,” Winter said.

The “Red, White & Blue” exhibit includes many artifacts that soldiers would use on a day-to-day basis. Items include a wool uniform, a toothbrush, playing cards, a comb, a shaving mirror and musical instruments that soldiers used to play for recreation and also on the battlefield. Children will be invited to try on the uniform to experience what it may have been like for a soldier.

One of the most historical pieces of the exhibit is a 34-star American flag. This particular flag is painted with Batavia history. It was carried by a man named William Steward,

a Batavia soldier, during the famous Sherman’s March to the Sea in 1864.

“This made me fully realize the significant role that Batavia soldiers played in the war,” Winter said.

The exhibit ends just in time for the Depot Museum’s Civil War celebration on the Batavia Riverwalk Sept. 7 and 8. Visitors can talk with soldiers and civilians in period dress, experience what the “Batavia Boys of 1862-1864” went through as they lived and died during America’s brother vs. brother war, and learn about the men from this age who served their country.

Throughout the Civil War event, visitors will have an opportunity to learn about the

types of units soldiers would have served in, listen to music that kept the soldiers grounded on both the battlefield and the home front, and see and touch actual objects and reproductions of objects from the Civil War at the Depot Museum.

In short, the event will lead you through the past so you can better understand the war’s impact on Batavia and the Fox Valley.

BATAVIA – Batavia parent Melanie Impastato on Tuesday was appointed to fill a vacancy on the school board.

Impastato, 43, fills the vacancy created after the recent resignation of school board member Kathleen Roberts. Roberts, who had been on the board for 22 years, said she resigned because of family matters.

Impastato will fill the spot until the April 7, 2015 election. She has lived in

Batavia since 1999 and has three children in the Batavia School District.

“I’ve always had an interest in the work of the board,” Impastato said.

She developed the interest after attending board meetings on a regular basis as a liaison for the Grace McWayne Elementary School PTO board.

She joins several new members on the school board. Jason Stoops, Susan Locke and Jonathan Gaspar in April won seats on the board.

“I’m excited to join a

board that’s new and very enthusiastic and looks to be interested in working together,” Impastato said.

Incumbent board members Ron Link, Jack Hinterlong and Joseph Purpura did not run for re-election.

Impastato said she plans to spend the next few months “getting my feet wet and getting comfortable with board policies.”

Batavia School District 101 had taken applications from residents interested in filling the vacancy and school board members interviewed the candidates.

“Justice Nickels was a staunch advocate of lawyers sharing their privilege with the poor, disadvantaged and vulnerable – providing free legal services to the needy.

He called it ‘the work of the Lord,’ ” the release states.

Nickels grew up on a dairy farm in Sugar Grove. He was elected to the first Waubonsee Community College Board of Trustees.

He also served on the Kane County Planning Commission, the Zoning Board of Appeals and on the Kane County Bank & Trust Co. Board of Directors.

He was an active member of St. Gall Catholic Church in Elburn, and also served two years in the United States Army.

A visitation is planned Friday and Saturday at St. Gall Catholic Church in Elburn, with a Catholic Mass at St. Gall at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Burial will be at St. Gall Cemetery.

SUGAR GROVE – Sugar Grove native John L. Nickels, who served as an Illinois Supreme Court Justice for six years, died Monday at the age of 82.

Nickels served on the Illinois Supreme Court from 1992 to 1998, according to a news release from the Illinois Supreme Court, which described Nickels as “a quiet, private man, but one who was unafraid to express his fidelity to fundamental beliefs and to call out publicly those he felt had abused their trust.”

During his time on the Illinois Supreme Court, Nickels heard and participated in 820 cases, authored 95 majority opinions, 45 dissenting opinions and 10 special concurring opinions, the release states.

One of the majority opinions he authored struck down Chicago’s gang loitering ordinance because it was unconstitutional. The case was heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld Nickels’ decision.

Before becoming a judge, Nickels practiced law for more 20 years.

His judicial career started in 1982, when he was elected as a trial judge to the 16th Circuit, which at the time served Kane, DeKalb and Kendall counties, according to the release.

He was elected as an Illinois Appellate Court Justice in 1990. He was later elected to the Supreme Court from the Second Judicial District in 1992.

Nickels then ran in an uncontested race to fill a vacancy on the Illinois Supreme Court created by the retirement of Justice Thomas Moran of Lake Forest.

During the 1990s, Nickels acted as the Supreme Court

On guard at the rink

“He started out as a mascot and worked his way up to being a guard and DJ,” Foland said. “He really loves his job, and that shows. He is on a first-name basis with a lot of our regulars. He’s definitely one of our best.”

Carroll, 19, of Batavia, has been a skating guard at Funway since 2011. The job is fitting because he learned how to skate at Funway.

“I’ve been going here since I was 9,” he said. “I loved going here as a kid, and I thought it would be a good job to have.”

For Carroll, skating was a natural fit, and being a strong skater is a necessary part of the job.

He is able to show off some of his skills as he weaves around the rink, pivoting effortlessly as he scans the scene.

“I love being out on the floor,” Carroll said. “You have to be a good skater. I’ve played two years of hockey

“You’re not supposed to wear hats because they could fall off and become a tripping

Besides helping others who find themselves in trouble on the rink, Carroll also doles out advice to make them better skaters.

“I tell them never to lean back when they are skating,” he said. “I’ll show them how to skate out, and to take their time, and not go too fast.”

Carroll said he loves his job at Funway.

BATAVIA – As Top 40 pop music pulsated in the background, Chris Carroll skated to the middle of the roller skating rink at Funway Ultimate Entertainment Center, which was filled with youngsters enjoying the afternoon.

As a skate guard at Funway, it is Carroll’s job to ensure safety on the rink, and to help anyone who needs an extra hand.

A few minutes later, Carroll reached his hand out to a youngster who had taken a tumble. He then took another spin around the rink to make sure no one else needed help.

Sure enough, his help was required again. He spotted a youngster whose skate had fallen off, and quickly helped him put it back on. It’s all in a day’s work.

“It’s never dull, unless you only have two people out on the rink,” Carroll said. “You have to constantly pay attention. You are constantly watching everybody.”

And while he tries to help as many people as he can, sometimes that’s just not possible.

“A woman once twisted her ankle after falling down,” Carroll said. “I had tried to help her, but I’m not Superman. I try to save everybody I can.”

His efforts have not gone unnoticed. Jodi Foland, a manager at Funway, said Carroll is “an excellent skat-

NORTH AURORA

Teen to make trip to Capitol Hill to talk about Type 1 diabetes

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com NORTH AURORA – North Aurora teen Emily Laughead will go to Capitol Hill next month to tell her story about what it is like to have Type 1 diabetes.

Emily, 14, who will be a sophomore at Rosary High School in the fall, has been selected to attend the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Children’s Congress from July 8 to 10 in W a s h i n g t o n , Emily D.C. She will Laughead be one of the delegates from Illinois in the Children’s Congress.

“I want to give the disease a personal face,” Emily said.

As someone who has Type 1 diabetes, her body does not produce insulin.

She was diagnosed at age 4. Type 1 diabetes usually is diagnosed in children and young adults, and previously was known as juvenile diabetes.

Insulin is a hormone that controls the level of blood sugar (also called glucose) in the body.

There is no known way to prevent Type 1 diabetes. Emily must use an insulin pump that passes insulin into her body.

As part of the application process to the Children’s Congress, she had to make a video talking about her battle with diabetes.

She also wrote letters to U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; and U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., talking about her diabetes and why continued research is important.

Emily is no stranger to trying to educate others about Type 1 diabetes.

“Diabetes has made me a better leader. It’s pushed me out of my comfort zone.”

Emily Laughead North Aurora teen on dealing with Type 1 diabetes

For the past several years, Emily and her family have headed Emily’s Hope, an organization that promotes Type 1 diabetes education and organizes fundraising events.

They have raised more than $56,000 for JDRF, as well as helped to spread awareness.

She has a website, www.

EmilysHope.org, that is geared toward educating others about juvenile diabetes.

Emily’s Hope had a float in the recent Swedish Days Parade in Geneva, Loyalty Day Parade in Batavia and North Aurora Community Parade.

The float was named best float in the North Aurora Community Parade, and the North Aurora Mothers Club presented Emily with a trophy and a $250 check for Emily’s Hope.

Because of her efforts, she received the 2008 North Auroran of the Year and the 2010 Kane County Roscoe Ebey Kane County Citizen of the Year award.

She hopes her story has helped to educate others.

“Diabetes has made me a better leader,” she said. “It’s pushed me out of my comfort zone.”

That’s not surprising to her mother, Amy Laughead, who is proud of her daughter’s efforts.

“She doesn’t have to do this,” Amy Laughead said. “A lot of people just go through the motions. She’s an awesome kid.”

Dog hit by car in Geneva to be moved for further care

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A dog injured by a car late Sunday in Geneva will be moved from an emergency veterinarian to another facility for continuing care, police said.

“No owner has come forward as far as I know,” Ge-

neva Police Cmdr. Eric Passarelli wrote in an email. “I have been communicating with the emergency vet, and they are looking to have him moved from their facility to another where he can receive further care. We are going to reach out to our local vets to see if we can make some sort of arrangement with them.”

The young male dog is a boxer mixed with either a lab or a pit bull, weighs 42 pounds and is estimated to be about 1 or 2 years old.

Because the dog did not have a collar or microchip, Geneva police are hoping to locate the owner. Anyone with information is asked to call the police at 630-232-4736.

District 304 eyes new education fund spending plan

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Geneva District 304’s preliminary education fund budget shows $56.3 million in expenditures for fiscal 2014, revenues of $58.2 million and a surplus of nearly $2 million, officials said.

The increase is about $870,000 over fiscal 2013 or about 2 percent, Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Donna Oberg said at a school board meeting this week.

Revenue will come from the property tax levy, $49.3 million, an increase of .52 percent or about $256,000 over last year’s $49 million. The biggest decrease will come from general state aid, $1.9 million, a reduction of 21.63 percent or $403,000 less than last year’s $2.3 million, Oberg said.

“The finance committee suggested changes that are incorporated into this budget,” Oberg said, reducing

the proposed $1.6 million increase to $870,000. “It is very close to the 2 percent the committee recommended.”

Oberg said though the board could have increased the levy 3 percent last year, the increase was reduced by half to 1.5 percent, resulting in a $1 million decrease in taxes that could have been collected.

The proposed education fund spending plan takes into account several retirements of staff at a savings of $1.4 million, with their replacement cost estimated at $750,000.

Those positions include a payroll specialist, early childhood coordinator, prevention coordinator, coordinator for business services and a math facilitator.

“We had prevention coordinator [Charles] Chic Williams, which was a contracted service,” Oberg said.

“Part of his professional fee came from a grant from the Kane County Riverboat Fund

Coultrap name to live on in Geneva GENEVA – Though the former Coultrap Elementary School is now being razed, Geneva District 304 officials are looking to rename their Fourth Street central office the Coultrap Educational Services Center.

At a school board meeting this week, Superintendent Kent Mutchler suggested the district tie in the renaming and dedication in connection with the first week of school or the first day of school on Aug. 21.

Mutchler said officials also might mention it at the corn boil event that evening at Geneva High School.

Board members wanted to be sure the Coultrap family can confirm they could come on that day, and if not, another day would be chosen. because he serviced not only our students for prevention, but any student from Kane

County.”

Williams died, and his widow is continuing to serve students through the summer, and then she is expected to retire, Oberg said. The district plans to hire a social worker for a budgeted salary of $40,000 for nine months to be the new prevention coordinator.

Williams also was doing safety and security, and the district has hired Amy Campbell as the safety coordinator. Campbell’s cost had been covered by a two-year Readiness Emergency Management for Schools grant, but now will be paid out of district funds.

Oberg said the district hired a payroll person to replace one who is retiring.

The district will hire a coordinator for business services, who will replace a retired accounting manager, but Oberg said the coordinator will have a master’s degree and will have more responsibility, including

projects and presentations to the school board.

“We are also reclassifying someone we had doing math projects for elementary schools who will be called a math facilitator,” Oberg said.

“It’s just basically shifting the title. Last year, he was paid out of a grant, this year out of district funds.”

Overall, salary costs would increase by just under 2 percent or $738,000 in the proposed budget.

Services for occupational and physical therapy were provided by the Mid-Valley Special Education Cooperative, but for fiscal 2014, the district will outsource them.

This will cause a shift in the budget, Oberg said, with a decrease in tuition cost and an increase in purchased services by $360,000.

Also included in the preliminary budget is $924,000 for the replacement of equipment and infrastructure for technology throughout the district.

ELBURN

Twilight Wish begins new chapter

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ELBURN – The newest chapter of the Twilight Wish Foundation, a charity dedicated to granting wishes of senior citizens, is open for business in Elburn, director Terese Klinger said.

Klinger, a registered therapeutic riding instructor and Elburn resident, said she sought an organization that aids seniors after two high school girls helped her elderly father last year when he fell during his daily walk.

“I wondered if there was anything out there like the MakeA-Wish Foundation, but for seniors,” Klinger said. “I Googled that and found Twilight Wish, and it looked like a good, reliable and worthy cause, and honest. I talked to them and got the ball rolling.”

Twilight Wish was founded 10 years ago in 2003 and has fulfilled the wishes of more

than 1,920 seniors over age 68, through volunteers, corporate and community aid and donations.

A tax-deductible charity, the foundation grants wishes for seniors who are in nursing facilities or whose income is less than 200 percent of poverty level, said Jan Stumpf, a volunteer and special events director for Twilight Wish, based in Doylestown, Pa. “We do various levels of wishes,” Stumpf said. “There are different categories. Simple needs are hearing aid requests, dentures and lift chairs. We have 18 chapters in 13 states.”

All applications for wishes are filed either online at www. twilightwish.org or by calling Klinger at 708-691-0097, or Klinger can approach a recipient directly, she said.

Wishes are all determined by a committee at the headquarters, Stumpf said.

Illinois used to have a Twilight Wish chapter, but it has

been a few years since it was active, Stumpf said. Klinger’s chapter will serve the whole state unless other regional chapters are founded, but these must be at least 50 miles away.

Because there used to be a chapter in Illinois, the remaining $700 in that account is accessible to the new chapter, Klinger said.

“We’re trying to get the word out,” Klinger said. “I’m working through my job connections with my patients to find worthy applicants.”

According to its website, Twilight Wish also offers the DUTY program – Dining Unexpected Thank You – if a diner sees an elderly person eating out and would like to treat that person to a meal, the diner would hand the DUTY card to a waitress and pay that person’s bill. It also sponsors an Intergenerational Caring Program that matches younger people with residents of nearby nursing homes.

Hindu spiritual head Amma plans visit to M.A. Center Chicago

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com LAFOX – After drawing thousands last summer, the Hindu spiritual leader known to many as “The Hugging Saint,” or simply as “Mother” to others, will return to the area next week, offering a chance for those interested to receive a blessing from her.

From July 3 to 5, the Hindu guru Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi will visit the M.A. Center Chicago, a religious center that bears her name, on Keslinger Road in LaFox and will offer free public programs each of the three days.

“There is a sense of anticipation among many people locally, who came to see her last year,” said Suresh Babu, a spokesman for the M.A. Center. “Some people came and asked us when she is coming again this year.”

Amritanandamayi has routinely visited the Chicago area for more than two decades around July 4 as part of an annual tour of North America.

This year, that tour will take her to 10 cities in the U.S., including locations near Seattle; San Francisco;

Dallas; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Washington, D.C.; New York; and Boston.

The public programs, which are run by volunteers, include guided meditation, devotional singing and a live message from Amritanandamayi. But the primary draw for many has been the opportunity to receive an embrace from Amritanandamayi.

Her followers believe an embrace from Amritanandamayi imparts a spiritual blessing of positive energy, akin to a mother’s embrace.

For that reason, her followers affectionately refer to her as “Amma,” meaning “mother.”

While many of her visits have taken her elsewhere in the Chicago area, last year Amritanandamayi visited LaFox for the first time, hosting public sessions at the new M.A. Center Chicago on the site of the former Broadview Academy.

Representatives of her organization estimated about 4,000 people visited the local M.A. Center during last year’s visit.

Babu said they are expecting at least 6,000 to turn out this year, thanks to better publicity of the event.

Elburn gym gets honor, might look to expand

By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ELBURN – When Danny DeKing opened Pound 4 Pound Fitness in downtown Elburn last year with Ryan Darby, he said expanding to a second location was always a goal.

But DeKing, who also works at the gym as a personal trainer, expected such an accomplishment would take years, not within a year of opening, he said, noting he and Darby have been approached about franchising.

“The last year’s been incredible,” DeKing said Monday evening over the high-energy music that is piped into the black and green gym.

This month, Pound 4 Pound Fitness has another achievement to celebrate: Bodybuilding.com selected it as its gym of the month.

Being recognized by such a reputable publication was a surreal and unexpected experience, DeKing said, noting he has followed the site since he became a trainer.

Visitors to Bodybuilding. com can read a Q&A with Pound 4 Pound Fitness and view photographs of the gym, which offers personal training, boxing and youth boxing classes, boot camps and Don Beebe’s House of Speed athletic performance classes.

Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Pound 4 Pound Fitness boasts about 150 members, including those from communities DeKing didn’t expect to pull from so soon, such as St. Charles and Batavia.

The gym has added several pieces of equipment in the past six months, DeKing said, noting he sometimes feels like it is out of space.

But, he said Pound 4 Pound Fitness continues to embrace its small-town vibe and its aim to offer classes and services other gyms don’t.

Those at Pound 4 Pound Fitness pride themselves in getting results, he said, adding a few clients are down more than 100 pounds in a year.

KANE COUNTY

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com

Jerry Murphy Retiring executive director of INC Board a countywide board would “equalize services” in the county and reduce costs by more widely spreading the tax burden and steering those who otherwise would be locked up in jail to other treatment options.

Several County Board members and Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen, however, appeared skeptical of establishing a countywide 708 board.

Board members noted state lawmakers would need to change state law to permit Kane County to establish such a board. And they also noted rancor within the mental health advisory committee, as several members of the panel resigned during the committee’s run, including one as recently as last week.

The County Board also heard from Jerry Murphy, retiring executive director of the INC Board, who said the committee was not in agreement over the need for a countywide 708 board.

He said the mental health committee was weighted heavily toward those who live in portions of the county not served by 708 boards and did not consider seriously enough concerns of those living in townships and cities served by 708 boards now.

“The remedy is contained within the Mental Health Act, with no revisions necessary,” Murphy said. “The townships could establish 708 boards themselves.”

GENEVA – Kane County Board members agree that the distribution of mental health services in the county needs to be improved.

But County Board members differ over what should be done to improve that situation.

Tuesday, the County Board received a report from its Mental Health Advisory Committee. The committee was established about two years ago in response to a change in state law requiring the county to evaluate ways to improve the disbursement of treatment opportunities for mental illness, substance abuse and developmental disabilities.

In the past 15 months, the committee has conducted surveys and public forums, and compiled those results into recommendations to the County Board.

William Beith, assistant Gilberts village administrator and mental health committee member, laid out the three recommendations, which included creating a central webpage to list “relevant treatment options” in Kane County.

The committee further asked the county to support the concept of establishing a single, countywide board, called a “708 board,” to distribute funds for mental health services.

Currently, only portions of the county are served by township- or city-based 708 boards, which were established by voters through local referendums. Seven southern Kane townships, including Aurora, Sugar Grove, Kaneville and Blackberry, are included in the INC 708 Board, while the cities of St. Charles and Geneva each operate their own 708 boards.

No 708 boards have been established in the northern portions of the county.

Beith said establishing

“The remedy is contained within the Mental Health Act, with no revisions necessary. The townships could establish 708 boards themselves.”

Postal concerns for Kaneville Hours reduced, but officials say there are no plans to close post office

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com KANEVILLE – Roger Fronek was sent off “in grand style” on his last day as the officer in charge at the Kaneville Post Office.

Fronek, a popular figure in the village, was given a going-away party that included residents, Village President Pat Hill and a cake. His departure was no small deal in the village, where there had been concerns since the U.S. Postal Service announced a reduction of hours at the Kaneville office, which is at 2S101 Harter Road in Kaneville.

“Everybody said goodbye,” Hill said.

The reduced hours now are in place – from noon to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday. Previously, the office had hours of 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. Saturday hours remain unchanged. Residents were upset and wondered whether that was the first step toward eliminating the office.

“They want their identity,” said Hill, who, as the owner of Hill’s Country Store – known as the purple store – hears from residents every day. She can see the post office from her store, which is across the street.

The U.S. Post Office has lost billions of dollars and originally announced it would close offices throughout the nation in an effort to save money. Instead, the decision was made to cut hours at some locations.

Postal officials say there are no plans to close the Kaneville office, but it’s also unlikely that the hours will be reinstated anytime soon. Post office spokeswoman Beverly Howard said the office still is in the process of carrying out its reduction of hours at offices throughout the nation, a move that is expected to save $500 million. Post office officials have touted the plan as an alternative to closing the offices.

“They are probably being generous by giving them the

The window hours at the Kaneville Post Office recently were cut, with window service provided from noon to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday. Some in Kaneville worry that the post office eventually might be closed, but postal officials say they have no plans to close the office.

They are probably being generous by giving them the [reduced] hours, even if it doesn’t seem that way. For them not to close the office, that was the compromise. … They considered this the lesser of two evils.”

Roger Fronek, former officer in charge of Kaneville Post Office [reduced] hours, even if it doesn’t seem that way,” said Fronek, who, as a “flexible clerk,” now will work at several offices in the region. “For them not to close the office, that was the compromise. …

They considered this the lesser of two evils.”

Hill said Kaneville residents want their full hours back.

“I feel we deserve it,” she said.

She said at the least, residents want assurances that the office isn’t going to be closed.

She said she has sought to con-

tact U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, and other officials for help. Reached via email, Hultgren wrote he would “encourage the Postmaster General’s efforts to explore alternative ways to reduce their costs to avert the closure of the Kaneville Post Office.”

Hultgren wrote he understood that “hard choices” were necessary “to get the USPS back on a path towards fiscal solvency.”

“However, post offices are the lifeblood and centers of commerce for many local communities throughout Il-

linois and the United States,” Hultgren wrote. “As the postal service continues looking for ways to stay competitive and cut costs, these local centers should not be forced to bear the total costs of these reforms.”

Hultgren added he would “continue being a voice of reasonable reforms that preserve the ability of the postal service to serve our local communities.”

Howard said she “can’t really know what’s going to happen later on down the road, but I do know there are no

plans to close the office.” Since the postal service still hasn’t completed carrying out its plan to reduce hours at offices throughout the nation, she said it’s unlikely hours would be restored.

While she said Kaneville residents want their full hours back, Hill added that “the bottom line is keeping it open.” She said residents will miss Fronek. She said he went above and beyond – for instance, if mail had been addressed simply to Pat Hill in Kaneville, Fronek would make sure she would get it.

“That’s what we’re going to miss,” Hill said.

Fronek said “there’s no way you can’t get attached to people when you work at a one-man office like that.” He said he got to know everybody in town by name.

“I miss them, too,” he said.

Rotary club funds St. Charles students’ dreams Organization gives out first-ever vocational scholarships, worth $1,000 and $750

By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Eighteen-year-olds Austin Stombres and Dustin Baldwin have dreams of automotive careers. Baldwin hopes to design cars, and Stombres has ambitions to create a program that will help outof-work people get their cars repaired.

Both are getting help from the St. Charles Breakfast Rotary Club to achieve their dreams.

Each received the club’s first-ever vocational scholarships, which are intended for students preparing for careers requiring less than a four-year degree.

Rotarian Ann Richards said this is a new program for the club, which was chartered in 1986.

Stombres, a 2013 St. Charles East High School graduate, received a $1,000 scholarship from the club and also a $1,500 District Rotary scholarship.

Baldwin, a 2013 St. Charles North High School graduate, received $750 from the club. They s h a r e d t h e i r Dustin plans with the Baldwin St. Charles Breakfast Rotary Club on Tuesday at McNally’s Irish Pub. Baldwin plans to attend Elgin Community College for about a year to complete his general education credits before transferring to the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, he said, adding he wants to study mechanical

engineering.

He hopes to be a car designer, perhaps for Chrysler in Detroit, Baldwin said.

Stombres also plans to participate in ECC’s automotive program.

He would like to receive a few Automotive Service Excellence cerAustin tifications and Stombres apply for his commercial driver’s license, he said, noting desires to also write for Car and Driver magazine.

But, he said, his real hope is to start a program that would function like food stamps but for car repairs. Although the idea still is in its infancy, he said, he envisions it helping people who can’t get work because they don’t

have a functioning vehicle.

His parents, Kristen and Jim Stombres, couldn’t say enough about the St. Charles Breakfast Rotary Club’s scholarship program.

In addition to helping their son pay for college, they said, it’s given him confidence that many people believe in him.

“I just applaud you,” Jim Stombres said, adding that most scholarships are for students attending traditional four-year colleges.

Baldwin, who also has received a $1,250 St. Charles Chamber of Commerce Industrial Arts Scholarship, said he wants to graduate with little debt and said the Rotary club’s scholarship helps a lot.

Stombres expressed similar sentiments about what the scholarship means to him.

“They’re funding my future,” he said.

One goal: Champions

• Wednesday, June 26, 2013

One goal.

Since 2008, those are the two words the Blackhawks have used to inspire the team – and the team’s growing fan base – to believe that they could bring the holy grail that is the Stanley Cup home.

And it worked. The feats the team has accomplished in the past five years are amazing – led by core players Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane, Brent Seabrook and Patrick Sharp and backed up by every other player on the roster – that culminated in two Stanley Cup wins, one in 2010, and the other only two days ago after a ferocious six-game battle against the Boston Bruins.

The abbreviated season this year – because of a lockout during contentious contract negotiations – led to fear that the goodwill built toward the team would wane.

But this season was spectacular. The team stormed to a 24-game start without a loss in regulation, leading to winning the President’s Trophy for having the most points in the regular season.

And for the past eight weeks, fans have counted down each hard-fought win during the playoffs as the Hawks won the 16 games needed to clinch the Cup. They celebrated the team rallying from a 3-1 series deficit against the Detroit Red Wings in the second round of the playoffs and dethroning defending Stanley Cup champs the Los Angeles Kings.

And they checked off the final win Monday when the Hawks were awarded Lord Stanley’s Cup in a thrilling victory, going from being down 2-1 with 120 seconds remaining in the game to winning 3-2 with two goals in only 17 seconds – winning by “one goal.”

For Chicago-area sports fans, the Hawks are a rarity. Not since the Bulls in the 1990s have we had a team we felt privileged to get behind and believed that faith would be rewarded with multiple championships.

Their success is embraced and rejoiced throughout the area, evidenced by the more than 200 consecutive sellout games at the United Center to the children who fill local ice rinks to practice passing with the hope that they too may one day hoist the Cup. One goal – accomplished twice.

Congratulations to the Blackhawks.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR God made all of us To the Editor: When I was a child attending St. Mary’s in Wisconsin, Father Hausmann would often teach “religion” class. He would ask us, “Who made you?” And we were taught to respond, “God made me.” We were taught that God made all of us, not some of us or most of us but “ALL” of us.

Some statistics indicate that roughly 5 to 10 percent of us are born gay. So, why do so many religious leaders with fancy titles denigrate and condemn Editorial board

these children of God? Father Hausmann never said that God made most of us, except for those who are gay. He said, “All of us.”

How can religious leaders, who can’t read the mind of the person next to them, claim to be able to read the mind of God? Isn’t this the height of arrogance? Besides, if these leaders really could read God’s mind, wouldn’t they all read the same thing and agree?

I think our nation would be best served if religious leaders would be quiet and allow our secular state to exhibit the

compassion and inclusiveness that eludes them. If religious institutions want to exclude groups from membership, that is their right. But, in this country, we have separation of church and state. And, it is time for the state to ensure equal treatment for all and pass “same-sex” marriage. If the state can be compassionate and inclusive, why can’t religious institutions? One would think that it would/should be the other way around.

Ball not bouncing Kane County’s way

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Cougars’ latest clubhouse pastime features more back-and-forth than the second half of their season to date.

Could a ping-pong table really spark a clubhouse that’s absorbed five losses in as many games since the AllStar break?

It couldn’t hurt, players and manager Mark Johnson say.

Infielder Brad Zapenas addressed the Cougars about the recently-added accessory before Tuesday’s 9-5 loss to Beloit, speaking of its potential to lighten the mood during the skid. Zapenas, for one, would have appreciated getting his Stiga on while recovering from a torn labrum for much of last season.

“Guys, I think, are getting so down on themselves when they make an error and strike out,” Zapenas said. “When I was out for a year, just getting

back to this level and playing and being able to throw again was huge for me. So I told them to have fun with it and don’t take anything for granted. Just have fun and hustle.”

Johnson opted for some spontaneous clubhouse redecorating before the break, as the Cougars (30-41, 0-5 second half) have now lost 16 of 22 games overall.

A rainout prompted the move, which also included rearranging the clubhouse couch and putting part of it in Johnson’s office. The table – which has seen coach Kenny Socorro and trainer Shane Nelson be most successful – is the crown jewel and the fruit of a natural fundraiser.

“Kangaroo court money and a little bit of fine money,” Johnson said. “Just wanted to see if I could get them off phones and off their gadgets a little bit. Get them to do something instead of just sitting around and texting and social media-ing it.”

Beloit (47-28, 4-1) struck for

a tweet-worthy feat en route to five unearned runs in the first inning.

Capitalizing on a throwing error by Cougars third baseman Jeimer Candelario, the Snappers got back-to-back home runs from designated hitter Ryan Mathews (tworun) and catcher Nick Rickles (solo) to punctuate the rally.

Left-hander Brian Smith – the Cougars’ youngest pitcher at 20 – surrendered three hits in the inning and was pulled in favor of righty Lendy Castillo, a Rule 5 pick of the parent Cubs and a converted infielder.

A long reliever earlier in the year who collaborated with Eddie Orozco and Jeffry Antigua on seven-inning, two-hit home shutout of Peoria on May 16, Smith is expected to work in the starting rotation after the midseason promotion of righty Pierce Johnson to Advanced-A Daytona.

Sawyer Chambers, St. Charles Post 342 pitcher

the bullpen but Post 342 coach Dale Wilderspin said that wasn’t much of a consideration, especially given Chambers’ strong outing against Lockport last time out.

“I’m a pitcher’s coach, and I have a tendency to stay with these guys a little bit too long sometimes,” Wilderspin said. “Not in this case. But for the most part, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt.”

Chambers didn’t walk a batter after the first and ended up allowing only a bunt single in his seven inning, complete game effort.

He struck out 10 and popped the catcher’s mitt as well as Wilderspin had seen from him.

Chambers, who retired

the final 11 Wheaton batters on the night, is preparing to pitch at Elgin Community College.

“Obviously we have great competition,” Chambers said of the legion season. “I just love the coaches, love the team. It’s a great program, and it’s a great way to get ready for college baseball.”

While Chambers stabilized quickly on the mound, Post 342 failed to generate a base-runner offensively until the fourth inning, when it scored all three of its runs off Wheaton pitcher Bryan Polowy.

After Polowy notched an out to start the inning, Tim Misner, Ryan Thomas, Jack Dennis and Anthony Bragg notched four consecutive sin-

gles to give Post 342 the lead for good.

A couple of the hits were bloopers but Wilderspin approved of the death-by-singles attack from his lineup.

“We have to do those kinds of things, we’re going to have to move runners and have patient at-bats,” Wilderspin said. “They did that tonight.

They got themselves in decent hitters’ counts, and then you get a fastball, and then they’re ready for it.”

Post 342 was the home team since the game originally was to be played at St. Charles North High School before being moved to Whea-

ton because of field conditions at North.

Post 342 improves to 14-2-1, an impressive record enabled partially by weekend reinforcements that are not eligible to play in league contests during the week.

“You know what, it’s a team you would look at and say ‘How the heck can they be 14-2-1?’ ” Wilderspin said.

“When you see us on the weekend, it’s a completely different team. … The whole team changes its complexion on the weekend. Then you’re a bunch of bashers. You don’t do anything, just sit and watch them play.”

WHEATON – Sawyer Chambers could hardly do anything right to start.

Fortunately for Chambers and St. Charles Post 342, the game’s first several batters turned out to be a blip on an otherwise dazzling night for the right-hander.

Chambers shrugged off early wildness to mow down Wheaton Post 76 on Tuesday, leading Post 342 to a 3-1 win.

Chambers walked three batters in the top of the first as Post 76 scored a run without a hit but the recent St. Charles North graduate said he was able to refine his follow-through on the fly.

“I was missing a little bit high so I just fixed my mechanics a little bit and just went from there, and just located a little bit better,” Chambers said. “I just had to settle down.”

Chambers was wild enough early that some coaches might have considered warming a reliever up in

Pomazak mixes new, familiar faces at North New St. Charles North football coach Rob Pomazak thinks a blend of fresh blood and holdovers from former coach Mark Gould’s coaching staff is just the blend the program needs to take off under his leadership.

Pomazak expressed heavy-duty enthusiasm about the way his coaching staff has taken shape, including a pair of new assistants that formerly were part of the staff at Elk Grove, where Pomazak was defensive coordinator.

Pomazak will retain defensive coordinator responsibilities while making his head coaching debut in St. Charles, and he will be assisted on the defensive side by the highest-profile addition to the North coaching staff.

Rick Magsamen, a former defensive coordinator at Maine South who coached in the powerhouse Hawks’ program for almost 25 years, is joining Pomazak as assistant defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. Mag-

samen most recently coached the linebackers at Elk Grove.

“Rick brings an unbelievable amount of experience and state championship effort, for lack of a better term, to our program,” Pomazak said. “ … I would be a fool not to bring a guy of his caliber onto this staff. He really is second to none as far as Xs and Os on the defensive side and offensive side.”

Pomazak said he had Rob Pomazak an informal pact with both Magsamen and another Elk Grove coaching transplant – new North defensive line coach Dan Meyo – that they would follow Pomazak if he scored a head coaching post somewhere. Meyo was a longtime defensive coach at Driscoll before moving to Elk Grove.

While North players are becoming familiar with the whistle-blowers on the defen-

PREP ZONE Jay Schwab sive side of the ball, there are familiar faces orchestrating the North Stars’ offense.

Jared McCall, who was defensive coordinator and offensive coordinator at different points under Gould, was a candidate to replace the retired Gould before Pomazak was hired.

McCall agreed to stay on under Pomazak, and Pomazak said their working relationship is off to a great start.

“I was in a similar position as Jared last year, where I put in for the Elk Grove [head coaching] position and didn’t get it,” Pomazak said.

“I know it can be a difficult pill to swallow but Jared is a true coach. He’s been professional from day one and, I’ll be honest with you, it’s no surprise he was a candidate for positions. He really is as

44TH ILLINOIS STATE JUNIOR AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP

Weather woes suspend play Tournament resumes today

By DENNIS D. JACOBS editorial@kcchronicle.com BARRINGTON – A thunderstorm, tough course conditions and modern technology played havoc with the field Tuesday at the 44th Illinois State Junior Amateur Championship at Makray Memorial Golf Club.

Players with morning tee times had their round interrupted by a thunderstorm, which also caused a start delay for players with afternoon tee times, like Kyle Jacobs of St. Charles.

“I was expecting to be out here at 1,” Jacobs noted.

“When you’re out here [teeing off] at 3:45, it’s kind of hard to get everything done.”

Jacobs and others found

trying to get 18 holes in impossible after Illinois Junior Golf Association officials again halted play late in the afternoon because of the Thor Guard lightning prediction system. Another storm never developed, but players were forced to remain inside the clubhouse until play was Brody Kuhar eventually suspended for the day at 7:30 p.m.

Jacobs finished nine holes, shooting a 48.

“It was just playing really tough,” Jacobs said of the course. “It was hard to get any good chances really to get some birdies. Even if you did, you couldn’t get too aggressive or you were going to be putting for bogeys.”

Jacobs was hardly the only player to struggle with the course. Nick Hardy of Northbrook was the only player to

complete 18 holes without finishing above par. His even par 71 had him one shot behind Caleb Weise of Winfield on the leader board. Weise was 1-under-par through nine holes.

Matt Yonkovich of Sugar Grove turned in the best performance of the day among local golfers. The Kaneland High School senior was 3-over-par after nine holes.

Matt Samuelson of St. Charles was 10-over-par through nine.

Yonkovich’s Kaneland teammate, Brody Kuhar, was 16-over after completing 14 holes.

Tournament play was scheduled to resume at 6:30 a.m. today. Kuhar will be one of the players teeing off at that time.

Players with afternoon tee times for today were not expected to have their scheduled start times adjusted, but the forecast calls for another chance of scattered thunderstorms in the area.

good of a coach as we have on the staff. Offensively, he brings a real consistent attention to detail we’re hoping to facilitate throughout the program.”

In-house holdovers to Pomazak’s varsity staff also include Eric Bostrand, who was North’s sophomore coach but will now be assistant offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Tom Poulin will continue to work with the receivers and special teams.

Pomazak said he has upped the number of varsity assistants from four to six, adding one stipend and one volunteer position to the mix.

He said accountability, investment and preparation are the buzzwords as the North Stars work toward a season-opening opponent with which half of the staff will be intimately familiar – Elk Grove.

“As a staff, we have to model that before we can even bring it to the kids,”

Pomazak said. “I feel we have a staff from freshman on to varsity that really buys into that.”

Collalti commits: St. Charles East softball seniorto-be Sarah Collalti has made a college commitment to Olivet Nazarene University.

Collalti, a left fielder/designated player for the Saints as a junior, missed much of the spring with a concussion but returned to supply several clutch hits during East’s run to the IHSA Class 4A state championship game, including a bases-clearing double in her team’s 7-6, sectional championship triumph against Glenbard North.

Collalti plays travel softball during the summer with Chicago Bulls/Sox Academy’s 18U Gold team. Olivet Nazarene, an NAIA program, is located in Bourbonnais.

Rivero gets Cougars’ call-up • COUGARS Continued from page 20 One of the corresponding roster moves landed hard-throwing Cuban righty Armando Rivero, who was called up from extended spring training. The Cubs signed Rivero, an undrafted free agent, for $3.1 million on March 18.

He has not pitched professionally since 2011.

“It’s hard to put a barometer on it right away, but, I mean, the arm’s there. There’s no doubt,” Cougars pitching coach Ron Villone said. “And I know he’s a bright young man.

He’s eager to learn. He’s eager to get out there and play. He’s trying to speak English. He’s trying everything.

“You see a guy who’s all in, it’s great to see, you know. As a coach, it’s great, but it’s also good for the players. Good for them to see somebody who has hunger. Hunger is very contagious sometimes. So the short time I’ve been around him, it’s good to see.”

The Cougars trailed, 8-1, af-

ter five innings but crept closer behind catcher Willson Contreras’ RBI double. They were down, 8-3, with the bases loaded and no outs in the eighth but managed only Conteras’ run-scoring groundout.

Albert Almora, Dan Vogelbach, Rock Shoulders and Candelario had two hits apiece.

As expected, there was no ping-pong to be played after the final out, but that doesn’t marginalize the table as a potential aid for bouncing back.

“I’ve been in clubhouses where you had a table or guys played cards, you know,” said Johnson, a former major league catcher. “But nowadays, they don’t do anything except sit on their phones and text or tweet and do all that stuff.

“I think it can’t hurt. It can’t hurt as long as they’re doing their work before the game and they’re not worried about getting in here and playing. I’ve got no problem with it. I think anything they can do away from that kind of stuff is good, you know.”

Two Cougars feel Bruins’ pain

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – More Cougars hail from New England than the Chicago metropolitan area, so the mood among players with a rooting interest in the Stanley Cup Final sided not with the Blackhawks but the Boston Bruins.

On Monday, the Hawks erupte d f o r t w o Brad Zapenas goals 17 seconds apart in the final 1:16, avoiding a possible Game 7 to win, 3-2, and take the Cup in six games.

“I thought [the Bruins] had it, but they’ve been struggling playing defense, and the Blackhawks, they deserved it,” said infielder Brad Zapenas, a Boston College product and Nashua, N.H., native.

Zapenas watched his boy-

hood team from the comfort of his host family’s residence as the Cougars enjoyed a day off. His girlfriend and her mother were in attendance in Boston, seated three rows from the glass.

Reliever Stephen Perakslis, a native of the Boston suburb of Stoughton, Mass., also was pulling for the Bruins. That left lefty Michael Heesch – a Prarie Ridge alum whose family now lives in Bartlett – stumping a little harder for the Hawks.

Lefty Sheldon McDonald joined Heesch on the Hawks’ side. A native of hockey hotbed Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, McDonald liked the Hawks in part because they share the Western Conference with the Oilers, but also because of favorite Canadian son Jonathan Toews, the Hawks’ captain.

“I was happy the Blackhawks pulled that out,” McDonald said, “and with that 17 seconds apart, that was pretty special.”

Hub Arkush, longtime editor and publisher of Pro Football Weekly and senior football analyst with WSCR670 The Score in Chicago, has been hired by Shaw Media to cover the Bears for its daily, weekly and digital publications.

Beginning in mid-July, Arkush will provide daily Bears news and analysis to Shaw Media publications, including Crystal Lakebased Northwest Herald, Hub Arkush the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb, the Kane County Chronicle and Sauk Valley Media in Sterling and Dixon.

Arkush’s work will also be featured in dozens of Shaw Media’s weekly publications, including the Suburban Life weeklies in DuPage, Will and suburban Cook counties, and the Lake County Journal.

Shaw Media will also launch HubArkush.com, which will include breaking Bears and NFL news and blogs, video analysis from Arkush and other Shaw reporters, photo slideshows and more.

“We are thrilled to have Hub joining our team,” said John Rung, president of Shaw Media. “He is a veteran journalist and one of the nation’s most respected pro football experts. We are confident Hub’s comprehensive package of content – combined with the football analysis provided by other Shaw reporters – will be of tremendous value to our readers and advertisers.”

A veteran NFL analyst, Arkush joined Pro Football Weekly in 1976 and became ed-

itor and publisher in 1979.

At its peak, Pro Football Weekly was the largest NFL publication in the country with more than 750,000 readers.

Arkush, an award-winning broadcaster, was hired by the Chicago Bears Radio Network in 1987 to be color commentator during Bears game broadcasts, a position he held until 2004.

He is a senior football analyst on the Score and a sideline reporter and NFL Insider on Dial Global Sports’ national radio broadcasts of NFL games. He’s also hosted, written and edited several TV shows dedicated to the Bears and the NFL. Pro Football Weekly On TV, which began in 1988 on NBC, is now broadcast by Comcast Sports Net. “Watching, analyzing, reporting on and writing and talking about pro football has been my passion for over 30 years, and the opportunity to join Shaw Media and focus my work where I’ve lived my whole life on the team I grew up following is a dream come true,” Arkush said. “I am extremely impressed by the brand of journalism practiced by the folks at Shaw, and I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity to join their team.”

Mitch Rosen, program director at 670 The Score, praised Shaw for hiring Arkush.

“The name Hub Arkush is synonymous with professional football,” Rosen said. “Hub is a brand that transcends knowledge, insight, and opinion when talking about the NFL. When Hub is on the air for a pre-game show, talk show, or segment report, he brings great energy and insight like no one else in the business.”

Cubs designate reliever Marmol for assignment

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Wednesday, June 26, 2013

24

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com Cubs fans better be preparing their boos for someone else.

The Cubs’ decision Tuesday to designate reliever Carlos Marmol for assignment marks the end of a roller coaster career that featured too many recent struggles to warrant keeping him in the bullpen.

The Cubs have 10 days to trade or release him. One way or another, this season likely represented Marmol’s last with the organization that signed him out of the Dominican Republic 14 years ago.

Marmol, in the final year of a three-year, $20 million contract extension, became a liability in the bullpen – inconsistent in the late innings while lacking confidence in his pitches. The Cubs hoped they could elevate Marmol’s trade stock by using him in high-leverage situations.

But Marmol was a big part of the Cubs’ inability to hold leads in the eighth and ninth innings. He blew three saves this season, perhaps the most spectacular coming June 16 at the Mets when Marmol retired only one of five batters he faced and surrendered four runs in the ninth, which included two home runs punctuated by Kirk Nieuwenhuis’ three-run, walkoff homer.

“I would say that the lack of support from the fans was part of the reason of the mental block that I suffered recently,” Marmol told ESPN Deportes on Tuesday.

As of now, Marmol, 30, is still owed more than $5 million of the $9.8 million he makes this season. Although Marmol was never an issue in the clubhouse, his presence certainly wore on fans and even manager Dale Sveum at times. Sveum routinely fielded pre-game questions regarding Marmol from what situations he would use the right-hander to why he was struggling. When questions about Marmol on any given day would continue to mount, Sveum struggled to hide his exasperation.

For a Cubs team that has

issues beyond Marmol, it was best for both sides to part ways. The only surprise was the Cubs’ decision to DFA Marmol now instead of closer to the trade deadline, when more trades could have been explored.

However, Theo Epstein and Co. evidently realized that as much as they hoped Marmol would garner interest from other teams, no one was willing to trade for a mentally broken reliever. The move also creates a roster spot for outfielder Brian Bogusevic, who hit .319 with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs in 78 games with Triple-A Iowa this season, and gives Sveum another left-handed bat.

Marmol’s days were clearly numbered. Although fellow reliever Shawn Camp arguably has been even worse than Marmol this season, Marmol became the whipping boy for fans’ frustrations in a season going nowhere, sick of seeing a Cubs win turn into a loss because of a reliever’s failure to command his pitches.

But it’s easy to forget Marmol’s run as one of the best relievers in the game or a slider, when at its best, that made major league hitters foolishly stand frozen in the batter’s box. From 2007 to 2010, Marmol had a 2.54 ERA and 61 saves with a ridiculous 12.9 strikeouts per nine innings and an All-Star appearance.

He was a big reason the Cubs won the division in 2007 and 2008. Yet all that success makes Marmol’s rapid decline more stunning.

Fittingly, his final appearance at Wrigley Field on June 13 against the Reds was vintage Marmol: one inning pitched, one hit and three strikeouts, landing 12 of his 16 pitches for strikes.

It’s important to recognize Marmol’s willingness to take the heat for any bad outings and blown games. Unlike some major leaguers, Marmol always made himself available to the news media afterward, never hiding or declining to talk. Marmol took responsibility for his failures, and in that regard, more teams could use a Marmol in their clubhouse.

The Blackhawks celebrate their double overtime win June 8 over the Los Angeles Kings in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals at the United Center. The Hawks won the Stanley Cup championship Monday after defeating the Bruins, 3-2, in Game 6. The title is the Hawks’ first since 2010. than Toews, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Dave Bolland, who partied with you three summers ago.

Those guys really love you.

Do you remember when Sharp filled you with dog treats instead of champagne for his beloved dog, Shooter? You went right along with the joke. You’re the man, Stan.

Hey, we heard that Kane is going to be on CBS’s “Late Show With David Letterman” today. Are you going with him? If it’s a surprise, you don’t have to tell us.

But like we were saying, 2010 was a ton of fun.

Do you remember when Joel Quenneville hoisted you for the first time as a head coach? What a moment.

It’s tough to believe that three years have passed

since then.

You’re going to really enjoy your time with some of the new faces on the 2013 team. We know you hung out with them on the flight home from Boston, and it seems like you had a great time at Harry Caray’s in Rosemont and The Scout in the South Loop before making a pit stop at the United Center.

Good luck with Andrew Shaw. He is the human equivalent of a 24-hour sugar high. Get a ton of rest and drink a ton of water before you spend a day with that kid.

Oh, and Brandon Saad, you’ll really like him, too.

The Pittsburgh native was born Oct. 27, 1992 – exactly 149 days after the Penguins beat the Hawks to earn your company for a second consecutive season.

It’s hard to believe you’ve never met Michal Handzus (age 36) and Jamal Mayers (age 38).

Between the two of them, they have played 1,865 regular-season games and 160 playoff games for the chance to lift you above their heads.

Corey Crawford is another guy you’ll get to know. He probably should have won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the playoffs, but the truth is that you were the only prize that really mattered to him. Tell him a few Patrick Roy stories.

He’ll love those.

Gosh. Here we go again, talking your ears off. Well, maybe not ears, but you know.

We hope you have a blast here. Anything you need, just say the word.

See you Friday at the parade.

CHICAGO – Dear Stanley, First, is it all right if we address you as Stanley? We remember that last time you said we didn’t have to call you Mr. Cup. You said it made you feel old, and you didn’t need any more reminders that you were born a couple of centuries ago.

Anyway, welcome back.

We’re so glad to see you again.

By the looks of things, you seem to have settled right at home with your best friends in the City of Big Shoulders.

Did you sleep well last night?

Have you slept at all?

We haven’t slept much, either.

Have you lost weight?

No? Well, you look great.

It must be a new polish or something. Honestly, you’re glowing.

We’ll be honest. When you last visited in 2010, we really didn’t know what to expect.

Our meeting was packed with excitement and nervous energy. Would we hit it off? Would we measure up to some of your frequent summer destinations such as Montreal (23 visits), Toronto (13) and Detroit (11)?

To us, it was kind of like a first date with someone you already know you like.

A lot.

This time around, you seem like more of an old pal than a special guest. We were kind of bummed when you decided to spend the past couple of summers in Boston and Los Angeles, but it’s understandable. Those cities have some terrific hockey teams, as the Hawks learned up close this month, and you’re a guy in high demand.

That’s what makes it so cool to have you come to town again.

Surely, you remember your buddies such as Jona-

HOROSCOPE

‘White House Down’ seems familiar

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Exciting and rewarding times are in the offing for you in the year ahead. The many lessons you’ve learned will provide the framework you need for numerous successes.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You can make this remarkable day by doing everything in accordance with your highest standards. Don’t compromise just to get things out of the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Even though you might do your utmost to conceal your tender inclinations, you won’t be able to help being wonderfully charitable and compassionate toward your friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Someone who holds you in high esteem might work on your behalf without your knowledge to make something easier for you. Be sure to pay it forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Something that appears to be difficult, even mysterious, will be a piece of cake to you. Don’t hesitate to show your stuff.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A person you’ve recently met is very anxious to get to know you better. You’re aware of this, yet for some strange reason you’ve never encouraged the relationship. Why not?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – An associate who has been extremely helpful to you in the past can be of considerable assistance to you once again. If you need anything, go to him or her first.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you are lucky enough to get involved with someone whose objectives closely parallel yours, both you and this person will have an easier time achieving your goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – When something important has to be negotiated, keep in mind that the other party is just as eager to reach an understanding as you are. Don’t blow your cool.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your associates will sense your strength and resolve. You need to realize that you don’t have to be overly aggressive to get your way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Thoughtful things you do for your mate or special someone will not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Try your hardest to go out of your way for others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – If at all possible, entertain at your place, where friends feel welcome and relaxed. They’ll have a better time there than any fancy place you could take them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A gentle reminder should do the trick to get something that you loaned to another returned. The recipient of your kind gesture may have merely forgotten.

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now The title gave it away to me. Even though, since I don’t watch preview trailers, I knew nothing about this film except that it starred Channing Tatum, I had a nagging feeling that I’d already seen it. In fact, it was a feeling that I had seen it quite recently.

And I had, just last March.

Except with a different cast and director, and just a slightly different storyline, it was called “Olympus Has Fallen.” You know, that movie about North Koreans violently taking over the White House, in which Olympus was the code word for the White House, upon which there was a “coordinated attack.” Right, that movie where demands were made and hostages were killed, the movie that featured a heroic former Army guy in the right place at the right time who became involved in “one of those one man against the world deals.”

In “White House Down,” the villains are Americans.

The White House again faces a coordinated attack.

Demands are made, hostages are killed and, yeah, a heroic former Army guy in the right place at the right time is involved in “one of those one man against the world deals.”

Pretty close. But the difference is that “Olympus” was a good movie. “White House” is not. There are a few passable action sequences, but on the whole, the film plays out sluggishly, pouring on the thriller cliche, never allowing its characters to get in the way of yet another opportunity to let bullets fly.

Those characters

More Content Now photo

Channing Tatum stars as Secret Service honcho James Wood in the right place at the right time in “White House Down” when the White House faces a coordinated attack. include President Jamie Foxx, Capitol Police Force member Channing Tatum, Secret Service honcho James Woods, Secret Service Agent Maggie Gyllenhaal, and pesky little girl hostage Joey King, as the daughter of Tatum.

One morning, John Cale (Tatum) heads to the White House to be interviewed for a Secret Service job, and it’s apparently “bring your daughter to interview day”; Walker (Woods) is resigning in a week; Finnerty (Gyllenhaal) hasn’t slept in a week; and suspicious-looking guys skulk through the White House in maintenance outfits (with guns and silencers and masks in their pockets).

Luckily, when that coordinated attack begins, Cale, having blown that

interview, is on a White House tour with his demanding daughter. He manages to grab a gun and then does what a hero is supposed to do against bad guys in an impossible-odds situation.

Viewers would probably like to know what’s going on, why all of this is happening. Well, the flip-flopping script first explains that it’s for big money. Then it’s blamed on an act of revenge. Then the cause is relegated to political differences, among Cabinet members, concerning the world stage.

Each explanation makes less sense.

If you’re into an Everyman stuck in an extraordinary situation scenario, Tatum, who holds

his own here, is your man.

But no one else is of much interest. That happens a lot in films by Roland Emmerich (“The Day After Tomorrow,” “Independence Day”), who’s known for destructive set pieces, rather than being an actor’s director. To top it off, this one just refuses to end, adding still more ridiculous complications even after the story has reached a passably satisfactory conclusion.

But at least we learn a few new terms: The president is referred to as “The Package”; people who want to kill him are part of the “Threat Matrix”; his private limo is called “Ground Force One”; and the code word for the White House in this version of the story is “The Castle.”

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

So let’s do it. Shake any bell you happen to have. Our freedom is something to celebrate!

Dear Abby: I have been dating a married man for more than a year.

He’s my boss. “Gerry” has two kids with his wife and two more outside the marriage.

We do everything together and enjoy each other’s company.

Is it possible for him to be in love with us both? Why do men cheat? – The Other Woman In Alabama Dear Other Woman: What you’re doing with your boss may “feel” right, but it is wrong. It isn’t fair to his wife, or to you or his children. While the two of you are doing “everything” together, he is cheating all four of his children of time that should be spent being a parent to them.

As to whether this man is in love with you and his wife, frankly

I doubt it. He appears to be more in love with himself. Men cheat for a variety of reasons, and more often than not, it’s more about the cheater than the spouse.

Dear Abby: My husband needed a car to replace the old one, so he insisted on a manual transmission, which I don’t know how to drive. Do you think that’s fair?

He said, “Oh, you can learn.”

I am 58 and nervous, and I have heard it said that many a clutch got burned out by “learning.” I don’t want to do that. What do you say? – Shirley In New Jersey Dear Shirley: While I understand your concern about a stick shift, your husband has told you you can learn to use one.

I recommend that you learn by driving his car.

While many a gear may have been stripped by a novice driver, some have not. Think of it this way: You may be a natural. And if you’re not – well, he asked for it.

Don’t flush unused drugs down the drain Dear Doctor K: I’ve heard that when people don’t properly dispose of their medications, they make their way into the drinking water. Should I be worried?

Dear Reader: The water that flows through our faucets is generally clean and safe. But there is increasing concern about chemicals from unused medications making their way into our drinking water.

Drugs can get into the water in a variety of ways. Many people flush unused or expired drugs down the toilet or pour them down the drain. Some nursing homes and hospitals do the same.

Drug manufacturing facilities contribute to pharmaceutical pollution. Agricultural waste, from poultry and livestock given antibiotic- and hormone-laced feed, is another major source.

Sewage treatment plants and water treatment facilities are not designed to remove pharmaceuticals from water. As a result, some pharmaceutical pollution does wind up in the water we drink. So far, only trace amounts of drugs have been found in drinking water, far below levels thought to affect humans.

It’s possible that ingesting even tiny amounts of these drugs could, over time, affect our health. But

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff for now, there’s no evidence that drugs in the water are harming us.

The drugs we pour down the drain, however, could be affecting fish. For example, water sources polluted with estrogen and estrogen-like chemicals (from birth control pills and hormone treatments) contain more fish who have both male and female characteristics – when they should have only one or the other. The impact of this on fish breeding is unclear.

New guidelines encourage responsible drug disposable for hospitals and nursing homes. And we can do our part as well: • Limit bulk purchases. Big bottles of expired pills are more likely to end up in the water.

• Do not flush unused medicines or pour them down the drain. This is the most basic thing that we all can, and should, do.

Instead, throw medications into the trash. Medications disposed of this way are incinerated or buried in landfills.

This isn’t ideal, but it’s preferable to flushing or pouring them down

the drain.

• Better yet, use drug takeback programs. These programs allow you to drop off unused medications at specified locations in your community. Drug takeback programs are organized by state and local governments and also by private institutions, including pharmacy chains.

I learned from a colleague that the most recent such government program provided pickup spots in nearly 6,000 locations around the United States. In total, nearly 3 million pounds of outdated or unused pharmaceuticals have been safely disposed of through drug take-back programs.

While we don’t know of any harm to humans from the current low levels of old drugs in our drinking water, the truth is that we can’t be sure there is no harm. That’s why I urge my patients to use these programs.

It’s just one of many ways to be a good citizen – not just to your fellow human beings, but also to fish!

Dr. Wallace: This is the time of year I both love and despise. I love the warm weather after several months of ice and snow. I despise going to Lake Michigan’s beaches.

I’ve added an unwanted 12 pounds this past year, and I don’t want the swimmers to see those 12 pounds sticking out of my bathing suit. Now is where I need your expert opinion.

A good friend told me the fastest way to unload this “excess baggage” is to fast for 12 days. That means I would only drink water.

My friend said that I would lose one pound a day safely. If that’s true, I will absolutely lay off food for 12 days. Please give me your opinion of fasting. If it’s desirable, I will start fasting immediately. I’m 16 years old. –Nameless, Michigan City, Ind. Dear Nameless: Fasting is simply not suitable for the great majority of individuals, teens in particular.

Fasting will reduce body weight, but it also involves a loss of muscle tissue along with undesirable fat.

This could be dangerous, especially during the teen years when the body is undergoing rapid growth spurts and should be adding lean tissue. Also, there is medical evidence that fasting could produce a loss of bone tissue that could stunt normal growth.

Doctors and nutritionists both agree that when a healthy, nutritious eating plan is designed especially for you, the ideal loss of weight will be one pound per week. It took a year for you to gain 12 pounds. Don’t expect to lose the 12 pounds in only 12 days.

Dr. Wallace: My

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace boyfriend is a great guy. He’s really cute, a great athlete, intelligent and has a great sense of humor. He’s every girl’s perfect guy except for one flaw: He has sex on the brain, and every date ends up in a wrestling match. I finally got tired of this, and last night I told him that even though I liked him a lot, I would stop going out with him if he didn’t stop being sexually aggressive.

He said he really liked me, too, but if I dumped him, he would have his choice of a lot of other girls.

This is true; I know a lot of girls who would jump at the chance to date him. But now I’m confused. I told him I’d stop dating him if he kept being pushy about sex, but I would be very unhappy to lose him. What can I do? – Nameless, Birmingham, Ala.

Dear Nameless: Stick to your guns.

If he continues to be sexually aggressive, stop seeing him. If you give in, it would send the message that his aggressive behavior is acceptable.

You should realize that yielding to a boy’s sexual demands is often the quickest route to breaking up, not the panacea that saves the relationship.

His “threat” that he could have plenty of girls sounds hollow to me. But in any case, what matters is whether he truly cares about you. If all he wants is sex, you’re better off without him.

Dear Abby: President John F. Kennedy proclaimed the ringing of the bells nationwide on Independence Day, July 4, 1963, with the words, “Let’s ring freedom bells!”

I’m writing now to ask your help in getting the American people to ring bells again on this Fourth of July, and each Fourth every year from now on.

Let us tune in with each other and our history by ringing bells at 2 p.m. this July 4 in honor of the 237th anniversary of our independence. Encourage churches and civic buildings with bells to ring them.

As we celebrate our freedom, let us also honor the lives of those who sacrificed theirs for our precious liberty. Your millions of readers can help “let freedom ring.” – Carmella Laspada, Founder, No Greater Love Dear Carmella: I’m pleased to join you in this national effort.

Readers, engraved on the Liberty Bell are the words, “Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”

Do not play by rote; consider alternatives

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Confucius said, “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals; adjust the action steps.”

Bridge players usually know the goal of a deal. For each side, it is to win a certain number of tricks. (The exception is when playing in a matchpointed duplicate. Then the target for declarer might be to win an overtrick or two; for the defenders, perhaps to hold the contract to plus one.

That is why pair events are so tough.)

In these columns, we rarely worry about overtricks – and this deal is no exception. How should East try to defeat three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest diamond two?

Many players are under the influence of “return partner’s suit.” They would win the first trick with the diamond ace and lead back the diamond eight.

Even if West were psychic, taking South’s queen with his king and shifting to a club, declarer would have nine tricks via three spades, four hearts, one diamond and one club.

A more thoughtful East would do some analysis. What does West’s diamond-two lead signify?

That he has exactly four diamonds. So how many does South have?

Five – and it is rarely right for the defenders to attack declarer’s longest suit.

Here, East should win with his ace, then switch to the club king. With this layout, the contract should now fail. South will take the second club and lead a sneaky diamond jack, but West can grab that trick and lead his last club, giving the defenders two diamonds and three clubs.

Play by thought, not by rote.
