ST. CHARLES – A Genoa

man faces a felony charge

on the allegation he imper-

sonated a police officer, St.

Charles police said Tues-

day.

S k y l e r

Charles Pe-

t r a n c o s t a ,

s o n S t r e e t ,

r e p o r t e d l y

approached a

group of juve-

niles Aug. 31

at the Davis

Primary School parking lot

at 1125 S. Seventh St. in St.

Charles.

He identified himself as

an undercover narcotics

officer and acted like a po-

lice officer by patting them

down and checking them for

some things, Police Chief

Jim Lamkin said.

“It doesn’t appear there’s

any other physical provok-

ing contact,” he said.

The juveniles left on Pe-

trancosta’s orders and told

a parent, who called police

about 10:10 p.m., Lamkin

said.

St. Charles police ob-

tained a warrant for Petran-

costa on Thursday, and the

Genoa Police Department

had him in custody by 9:25

p.m., Lamkin said.

Custody then was trans-

ferred to St. Charles police,

he said.

Petrancosta was charged

with false impersonation

of a police officer, a Class 4

felony.

His bond was set at

$15,000, and he was released

on $1,500 bail, records show.

He is expected in court at

SUGAR GROVE – TheHoliday in the Grove’s firstChristmas tree has died, andorganizers hope to find a re-placement in time for the ear-ly November lighting of thetree.

The tree was planted lastyear near the Sugar GroveCommunity House and wasused during a Christmas treelighting ceremony to kick offthe Holiday in the Grove fes-tivities. Marguerite Ledone,vice president of Holiday inthe Grove, said the idea was toplant a tree and watch it growwith the festival.

She said the tree was ingood health when SugarGrove-based Spring BluffNursery donated and plantedit around early October last

year. Last year was the firsttime a tree-lighting ceremonywas added as a Holiday in theGrove kickoff. She said thetree was regularly wateredand taken care of, and orga-nizers installed a sprinklersystem to water it over thesummer.

“We thought the sprinklerswould take over, but I don’tthink they quite reached thetree,” she said. “It’s deaderthan a doornail.”

Now organizers are look-ing for a replacement. Le-done said a 3-foot tree, muchlike the one planted last year,would be a perfect fit. She saidone person has offered to do-nate a 6-foot tree, but Ledonesaid it weighs several hun-dred pounds and she has noway of transporting it to thecommunity house location.

“We’re trying to get [the

tree] planted before the firstweekend in November so wecan have our tree lighting likewe’d done last year,” she said.

Holiday in the Grove isscheduled Dec. 7 and includesfestivities such as breakfastwith Santa, children’s craftsand activities and Cookieswith Mrs. Claus, which Le-done said was a big hit whenit was introduced last year.

Ledone said the festivalwill offer sleigh rides againthis year. They weren’t of-fered last year because theperson who previously ranthem retired.

The Sugar Grove UnitedMethodist Church is sponsor-ing the rides, she said.

Anyone interested in do-nating a new tree for the fes-tival, or is able to help move alarge tree, can contact Ledoneat 630-334-8570.

BATAVIA – Aldermen atTuesday’s joint Committeeof the Whole meeting unani-mously recommended pro-posed new rules regulating theopening of new tattoo parlorsin the city’s downtown.

Their recommendation willnow go to the full City Council.

They had been consideringremoving tattoo parlors andpiercing studios from the listof uses allowed in the down-town mixed-use district.

Aldermen in May voted,7-6, to send the issue back tocommittee for further discus-sion.

The proposed changewould not affect the two tattooparlors currently in the down-town, which would be grandfa-thered in as a nonconforming

use.Fallen Star Tattoo is locat-

ed on South Batavia Avenue,and Twizted Images recentlymoved from South Wash-ington Street to East WilsonStreet.

In a memo to aldermen,Batavia Community Develop-ment Director Scott Bueningand Batavia Police Chief GarySchira proposed making tat-too parlors/piercing studiosa conditional use in the city’sdowntown, which would allowfor the city to impose condi-tions.

In addition, they are pro-posing a regulatory ordinancethat would govern how tattooparlors/body art establish-ments can operate.

The ordinance, among oth-er things, would prohibit theestablishments from operat-ing between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.

The ordinance also wouldlimit the number of establish-ments in the downtown to two.

Tattoo parlors are definedas those that apply permanenttattoos and not cosmetic tat-toos.

Batavia 2nd Ward Alder-man Martin Callahan likedthe proposed rules.

“I think they are a littlemore business friendly,” hesaid. “We are not passing judg-ment on the business itself.”

The Batavia Plan Commis-sion previously voted, 5-1, torecommend removing tattooparlors and piercing studiosfrom the list of uses allowedin the downtown mixed-usedistrict.

Mom raisingawareness forson’s disorder

ST. CHARLES


ST. CHARLES – KrisThompson isn’t used tospeaking publicly about her22-year-old son’s medical con-dition that gave him a suddenonset of anxiety, depressionand tics that caused him tobe uncomfortable in his ownskin.

He only recently has al-lowed her to share his sto-ry because he doesn’t wantother children to go throughwhat he went through, shesaid.

“There’s been some real-ly dark, dark days for him,”the St. Charles resident said.“That’s the hard part. That’sthe part that I hope other fam-ilies wouldn’t have to experi-ence.”

Thompson’s son suffersfrom PANDAS – pediatricautoimmune neuropsychiat-ric disorder associated withstreptococcal infections. Itis the sudden onset of obses-sive-compulsive disorderoften displayed as severeanxiety and emotional distur-bances plus two or more oth-er symptoms, including tics,severe separation anxiety, ir-ritability, personality chang-es, sensory sensitivities andfrequent urination.

In her son’s case, Thomp-son said, he developed it afterhaving several sinus infec-tions and strep throat aroundthe time he got his requiredhepatitis B shots for highschool.

Although her son has re-ceived treatment, she said, itwill take several more to gethis PANDAS in remissionbecause of the time he wentuntreated.

Thompson – along withother parents of children di-agnosed with PANDAS andrelated conditions PITANDand PANS – will be working

to raise awareness of the dis-orders.

In July, Gov. Pat Quinnsigned a proclamation declar-ing Oct. 9, 2013, as PANDAS/PANS Awareness Day in Il-linois.

In celebration of the proc-lamation, PANDAS Advo-cacy and Support – a parentgroup – is holding the PAN-DAS Climb from 1 to 4 p.m.Oct. 13 at the stairs at Swal-low Cliff Woods-North nearPalos Park.

“That hill represents whatour families and our childrendo every day,” said Thomp-son, referring to the 125 lime-stone stairs that lead to thetop of a former toboggan run.

The climb would be can-celed in the event of rain.

No donations will be solic-ited. Instead, postcards aboutPANDAS, PITAND and PANSwill be available. Members ofthe parent group will be in at-tendance for support and toanswer questions.

Because PANDAS parentsoften don’t want their child’sdiagnosis broadcast to ex-tended family and friends,Thompson said it is difficultto know how many people inthe Tri-Cities are affected byit.

“It makes me wonder howmany other kids are out thereeven in our town that don’tknow we exist,” she said.

SUGAR GROVE – Thebright green symbol for theKindness Campaign wasprominent at Monday night’sKaneland School District 302Board meeting.

Most board members weresporting pins displaying thelogo reading “Be Nice, BeHappy,” with a smiling face.Board member Tony Valentewore one of the group’s greenT-shirts.

It’s been a little more thana year since angry communi-ty members packed a boardmeeting and lashed out atdistrict officials, saying theyweren’t doing enough to com-bat bullying.

On Monday, there waspraise for the work doneby a task force on the sub-ject, with a nod to the Kind-ness Campaign for helpingto change a culture, thoughmany stressed the work isonly beginning.

Discussion about the Vi-sion 2014 update on bullyingprevention lasted more thanan hour Monday at HarterMiddle School.

Officials pointed out thepolicies the district has inplace. Some are shared byschools throughout the dis-trict, and some are specificto elementary, middle orhigh schools. For instance,they said, all buildings are fo-cused on following a 2011 sig-nature effort put together bythe DuPage County RegionalOffice of Education and thatcounty’s State’s Attorney’sOffice, but some programswere tailored to schools orspecific grades.

A great deal of the conver-sation centered around thetask force and the KindnessCampaign. Diane McFarlin,assistant principal at Kane-land High School, praisedthe task force for helping tocreate “critical conversa-tions” that have helped leadto improvements. McFarlinsaid past policies needed tobe tweaked, as they weren’t

effective enough. She saidshe’s learned that “anythingwe put into place should bestudent-empowered.”

She said feedback wassought and data collected. Forinstance, last year’s fresh-man class “said we missedthe mark.”

She said past policies wereaimed at anti-bullying mea-sures, but the idea now is tobe more proactive to attemptto create a change in climate.

She introduced Leigh AnnReusche of the KindnessCampaign, who was on thetask force. Reusche said theKindness Campaign took itsmessage to the communityand learned the depth of thebullying problem in the dis-trict.

She said the KindnessCampaign has focused on en-couraging all to be kind, butstill, she said members wouldbe approached at events bythose with children attendingschools in the district whobrought up bullying.

“We don’t talk about bul-lying,” Reusche said. “We al-ways have people [approachmembers] about it. … They’restill stressed about it. It’s stillgoing on, and it’s not goingto stop.” But, she said, beingkind does make a difference.

Valente lauded the workthat has been done.

“It chokes me up, to behonest,” he said. “You guyshave moved the community.”

However, Valente andboard member Teresa Wittstressed there must be conse-quences for those who com-mit serious violations of thepolicy. Valente said he wantsto see some sort of progres-sive punishment in place,recalling the complaintsfrom the past and pointingout “that’s what brought ushere.”

Witt said she felt that“sometimes the disciplinarystuff is a little weak” and thatyouths should know there arebehavior expectations, “andif you don’t behave in thismanner, there will be conse-quences.”

MAPLE PARK – For thefirst time in two years, thevillage again will have a ful-ly-appointed and active plancommission.

Tuesday, Maple Park Vil-lage President Kathy Curtiswas expected to present thevillage board with a list ofseven names to be appointedto the panel responsible forreviewing any new develop-ments that might come to thevillage in the future.

“We don’t have anythingpending right now,” Curtissaid. “But the economy seemsto be picking up a bit, andwe have had some land sell

around us.“So, this will position us

for the future, for when thoseplans come in.”

The list of appointees in-clude Art Maercker, George“Nick” Davidson, RobertRowlett, Jeff Ramirez, JohnPaul “JP” Dries, Chuck Millerand Lorenza Catanag.

Maercker will serve as thecommission’s chairman andwould be appointed to a three-year term.

Davidson and Rowlett alsowere to be appointed to three-year terms, while Ramirez,Dries, and Miller were to beappointed to two-year terms.Catanag was to be appointedfor one year on the commis-sion.

Curtis said the appoin-tees represent a “nice blendof newer residents and moreestablished residents of thevillage.”

Maercker, Davidson, Rowl-ett and Ramirez had served onthe plan commission before,Curtis said, while Dries, Mill-er and Catanag will each servefor the first time.

She said a lack of devel-opment activity had played arole in the village’s decisionto let the plan commission goinactive.

“But now we’re getting itre-established,” Curtis said.

The Maple Park VillageBoard was expected to voteon the appointments Tuesdaynight.

Warehouseroof leftdamagedafter fire


GENEVA – No one washurt Monday afternoon in asmall fire at a vacant ware-house at 2080 Gary Lane inGeneva, officials said.

Firefighters were called tothe scene at 4:44 p.m. and putthe blaze out an hour later,officials said.

Deputy Chief Mark Ein-wich said it was a smallfire that began around an ex-haust ventilation stack on theroof that was part of an oldspray booth ventilation sys-tem.

The fire was contained tothe area at the roof aroundthe chimney stack and asmall fire inside the enclosedarea of the spray booth appa-ratus, Einwich said.

“We had to do a little dis-assembly to get at what wasburning on the inside,” Ein-wich said. “We were not ableto pinpoint an exact cause …if anything, it was accidentaland unintentional, not an ar-son.”

At one time, furniture wasmade in that area of the build-ing and the spray booth waswhere furniture was sprayedwith paint or lacquer.

Einwich said the newowners bought the propertyrecently and have been clean-ing it out, so there was noth-ing inside. He said there isno estimate of damage to theroof.

When the Geneva PublicLibrary Board dropped itsplans to buy the Cetron prop-erty, the action marked 13years of effort to secure a sitefor a new building – 10 yearson the Sixth Street School siteand three years for Cetron.

It also caused officials toconsider the library’s future –what it does, what it should doand what it should do but can-not because of space issues.What has happened in the lastfew years is a sea change inhow the public uses its librar-ies, directors say.

Libraries had long movedfrom books to include othermedia such as movies, mu-sic, technology education andelectronic books. Now librar-ies have become communitycenters, experts such as Rob-ert Doyle, executive directorof the Illinois Library Asso-ciation, said. Libraries are indemand for everything fromrooms for private study ortutoring, to meeting and pro-gram rooms, classrooms andopen spaces to be creative,Doyle said.

“The configuration andhow library usage is beingallocated is shifting andchanging these days,” Doylesaid. “There is much moreemphasis on common space,study areas and maker spaces– where people go and makethings. ... It’s how people arecreating spaces for communi-ty participation and how thismight impact how space is al-located in a library.”

Local library officials saidthey noticed the shift and areworking to meet what patronswant and expect. At the SugarGrove library, director CarolDolin said the biggest chal-lenge is having enough staffto manage the meeting roomsthat nearly are in constant de-mand.

“We have 10 meetingrooms, including the cafe,

for open spaces. We have en-closed meeting rooms andspaces or rooms for people toreserve,” Dolin said. “Whenall the rooms are claimed andsomebody still wants a room,we are trying to address thatby changing our policies.”

George Scheetz, director ofthe Batavia Public Library,said people always have want-ed to meet and be tutored atthe library. But now withthe demand for open space towork on projects and as meet-ing places, libraries have be-come “the third place.”

“It’s not home; it’s notwork; it’s that third place

that people want to be there,they are comfortable there,”Scheetz said. “We see that alot.”

• • •

Not everyone agrees thatthe library of today or tomor-row is ever going to need allthat space.

Ernie Avellana, 47, of Ge-neva said he has not been to alibrary since he was a kid.

“Most everything I do isvia the Internet. ... I do notgo to the library to get a bookor an ebook,” Avellana said.“If I want it, I just go get it. Idon’t feel a municipality orgovernment should provide it

for me.”Acknowledging the library

is evolving as a social gather-ing place, Avellana said thatmakes it more an extensionof the park district, so librar-ies should look there for pro-gramming needs, or to thecity or schools.

But in Elburn, Town andCountry Public Library di-rector Mary Lynn Alms saidlibraries will continue ascenters of learning and infor-mation as well as gatheringplaces.

“As long as I’ve been in thelibrary business, people saidwe would be obsolete, and we

are not,” Alms said. “Peopleare using the library in waysthey always have and alsocoming here as a gatheringplace for all kinds of reasons.”

True to the current trend,Alms said space is the biggestchallenge in the 13-year-oldElburn facility. Money wasfinite, and officials built whatthey could afford, Alms said.

“Our biggest area is a ca-pacity of 50, and we have 250people show up for a pro-gram,” Alms said.

The St. Charles Public Li-brary has evolved similarly,director Diana Brown said.

“What our library lacks isspace for people and for staff,”Brown said. “There is nowa demand for tutoring spaceand meetings and study areas…. I am always looking forplaces where I can get morespace.”

At the Messenger PublicLibrary in North Aurora, di-rector Kevin Davis said oneof the library’s priorities is

Carol Medal, director of the

Geneva to reassessits library services


GENEVA – Geneva PublicLibrary director Matt Teskesaid he has seen the changesin how the public wants to usethe library.

“People working in groupsare expecting a quiet place towork,” Teske said. “Increas-ingly, people are looking tolibraries to provide a meetingplace for larger or smaller so-cial interaction. The newerlibrary buildings are beingdesigned or refurbished withthat in mind.”

Teske will do a presenta-tion on Geneva’s library is-sues at the next board meetingat 7 p.m. Oct. 24.

With 27,000 square feetserving a district of 31,000people, the library has somespecific challenges, such asno dedicated parking lot,no drive-up, dropoff and notmuch public space beyond thedownstairs meeting room, of-ficials said.

Officials recently backedoff a planned purchase of landfor a new building, going backto square one on what to doabout the library’s future.

Teske said because of thefocus on a new building, the li-brary was in a kind of “limbo”on changing and adapting.

“We are at a time when we

need to address these issueswe held off on,” Teske said.“There are things we, as astaff, need to be providing,and we are starting to comeup with more of a plan of howto be more proactive, howwe will provide these things,other than waiting for a newbuilding.”

Finding space is going tobe a challenge.

Teske said that while theuse of electronic books hasgrown, it’s not enough to de-pend on that to free up spacefrom the library’s physicalbook collection.

“People are still checkingout print books,” Teske said.“I don’t think anyone can seta date for print to go. I don’tthink it will go, to be honest. Idon’t’ think you could book onthat – pardon the pun – so wecannot depend on that to freeup space.”

By LAURA LITVANand CHRIS STROHMBloomberg News

WASHINGTON – Law-makers deluged by calls fromconstituents in the past fewweeks, urging them to helpavert a government shutdownor stand firm against a newhealth care law, Tuesday letvoice mail answer the phones.

The political impasse overthe 2010 Affordable Care Actled to the furlough of 800,000federal employees and the clo-sure of offices and parks alsoidled services and staff in Con-gress. Food service and trashpickup was sparse in the Capi-tol as lawmakers sought a wayout of the stalemate.

“We’ve got nowhere toeat, and a lot of the entrancesare closed,” said Sen. SaxbyChambliss, R-Ga. By early af-ternoon, he had a staff of fourout of 30, with phone calls tohis office’s main line answeredby voice mail.

Some lawmakers said thesimple loss of perquisitesmight be enough to bring bothpolitical parties to the table.

“The first test of the shut-down will be the Senate eatingboxed lunches at their Senatelunch rather than having thecafeteria serve us,” said Sen.Johnny Isakson, a GeorgiaRepublican, referring to thecatered meals during twice-a-week closed-door strategymeetings. “If they get a badsandwich, maybe it will hurryup getting us back together.”

The shutdown suspendedtours of the Capitol, leavingthe Washington landmarkwithout crowds of sightseers.

The Architect of the Capi-tol, the office that oversees thegrounds, closed the U.S. Botan-ic Garden near the buildingand is curtailing clean up ofrestrooms and offices through-out the complex. Most placesto get food are closed. Barbershops and dry cleaners areshuttered.

Each lawmaker decideshow many staffers to retainduring the shutdown.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a first-term New Hampshire Republi-can, said she’s operating witha “skeletal staff” of six aidesdown from 40, although thephone lines will stay open.

Tom Carper, a DelawareDemocrat and chairman ofthe Senate Homeland Securi-ty and Governmental AffairsCommittee, notified constitu-ents that most of his staff won’tbe at work. “My staff and I willbe unable to respond to yourphone calls and emails duringthis time,” he wrote.

Constituent calls to hisWashington and state offices“will be forwarded to voicemail and staff exempt fromfurlough will handle emer-gencies,’’ Emily Spain, Carp-er’s spokeswoman, said inan email. “The vast majorityof constituent services willbe suspended throughout theshutdown.”

Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.,will be hard to reach after an-nouncing he is closing fivehome-state offices and sus-pending all constituent assis-tance.

“My office will not be ableto assist with situations in-volving Social Security bene-fits, Medicare and Medicaid,veterans’ benefits, immigra-tion matters, passports, theInternal Revenue Service,securing military medals forveterans, or matters pertain-ing to any other federal gov-ernment agency,” he said in astatement.

In the House, many law-makers asked aides to volun-teer for duty – with the possi-bility both sides will agree toapprove retroactive pay afterthe shutdown.

Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J.,said his 20 aides in Washing-ton and the district will an-swer the phones, anticipatinga flood of calls from constitu-ents angry about the shutdowncombined with a deluge of re-quests for help from those whocan’t reach shuttered agenciessuch as the Department of Vet-erans Affairs or the Social Se-curity Administration.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

After the shutdown,what can we expect?

BLOOMBERG NEWS

With a governmentshutdown upon us, it’sworth pondering thisdrama’s endgame. Doesanyone seriously thinkDemocrats in the Senateor the White House willabandon the president’ssignature legislativeaccomplishment in orderto appease a few dozencongressional Republi-cans with an appetite forhyperbole? Hands? Any-one? Didn’t think so.

So, after some to-be-de-termined period of politi-cal squirming, Democratsand Republicans willreach a deal to fund thegovernment at more orless current levels foreither a shorter or a lon-ger duration. The resultwill be a continuation ofthe current governmentby sequestration, itselfa product of extremedysfunction.

The prevailing viewin Washington seemsto be that sequestrationisn’t a bad outcome. Theacross-the-board budgetcuts haven’t broughtthe U.S. economy to astandstill, so what’s tocomplain about? It’s truethat some of the mostdire predictions aboutsequestration’s effectshaven’t come to pass. Theeconomy has continuedto grow despite the fiscaldrag. Like the impact ofa government shutdown,however, the effects ofsequestration are not feltuniformly.

National Institutes ofHealth Director FrancisCollins has decried the“unimaginable” waste-

fulness of indiscriminatecuts to hundreds of medi-cal research projects. Bycutting off projects wellunder way, sequestrationachieves the dubioustrifecta of devaluing past,present and future feder-al investment.

The Financial Timesexamines the case of FortCampbell, which strad-dles the Kentucky-Ten-nessee border. Becauseof sequestration, morethan 3,000 employees,including militaryspouses, have enduredtemporary furloughs.The army hospital haslimited nonemergencysurgery. The commissaryis closed one day a week.The economic impact thatbarely registers in manycommunities doesn’tgo unnoticed in FortCampbell. In ChristianCounty, on the Kentuckyside, the Financial Timesestimates sequestrationhad a per capita impactof $3,900 — equal to morethan 10 percent of medianhousehold income.

Even if it were pos-sible to wave a magicwand (or gavel, as thecase may be) and pass abudget this week – andthen use it again to raisethe debt limit in a fewweeks – the senselessnessof sequestration wouldcontinue. And there isno indication – wishfulthinking aside – that theobstructionist impulsesof the tea party faction inCongress are close to be-ing tapped out. Figuringout how to work aroundthose roadblocks is HouseSpeaker John Boehner’sprimary task.

WHAT TO WATCHTRI-CITIES SHOWCASE BOYS SOCCER DOUBLEHEADER

Batavia, STC East look the partJAY SCHWAB

[email protected]

GENEVA – The favoriteslooked the part Tuesdaynight at the eighth annualTri-Cities Showcase boyssoccer doubleheader.

Batavia blanked St.Charles North, 1-0, before St.Charles East handled hostGeneva, 2-0.

The Bulldogs have made ahabit of winning via shutoutin recent weeks, as defend-ers Chase Correll, NickKonopacki, Joe Leifermanand Nick Samperi led theway in securing the team’seighth shutout of the season.Four of those have comein the Bulldogs’ past fiveoutings.

“It takes all four of us,obviously,” Samperi said.“We just make sure we stayon them. It’s been workingso far.”

Goalkeepers John Far-aone (first half) and NickFoster (second half) alsohelped ensure Ian Larson’sfirst-half goal stood up forthe Bulldogs.

Larson gathered a long,diagonal feed from BrendanAllen and finagled spaceto uncork a left-footed shotdespite tight marking. Theshot handcuffed Northsophomore goalkeeper KevinSabres, filling in for usualstarter Billy Larsen, whowas ill.

Larson is enjoying abreakthrough offensive sea-son for the Bulldogs.

“He gets a nice angle onit, and the power he putson it at that angle is prettygood, and it usually goesin,” Batavia coach MarkGianfrancesco said. “ButAllen stepping up, winningthat ball in the midfieldand being able to play itthat quickly and having thewherewithal to do that wasgreat. That’s what we wanthim to do.”

Larson scored a last-min-ute goal to give Batavia a 1-0win over Geneva last month.This goal might not havebeen as dramatic, but it wasthe difference-maker againstanother Tri-Cities rival.

“It was a great ball, first

of all,” Larson said. “I just

knew I’d take the shot. I cut

back, and I just hit it.”

Another narrow loss

meant more frustration for

North coach Eric Willson,

who is not accustomed to

watching his program have a

season like this one. Willson

said the North Stars need to

grow “a little bit hungrier”

in the box after absorbing

their latest setback.

“That’s kind of a broken

record for us,” Willson said.

“We’ve had a lot of tight

games, a lot of close games

and we continue to have

difficulty getting over that

hump and finding a way to

win these close games.

“I’d say with the excep-

tion of maybe St. Viator,

we’ve been in every game

we’ve played, and we’ve got

a 2-8-2 record to show for it.”

North freshman Ryan Ol-

son hit a crossbar in the first

half, as did the Bulldogs’

Larson.

Batavia (10-2-2 overall)

closes its Upstate Eight Con-

ference River slate with a 5-1

mark, the lone loss coming

to St. Charles East. The

Bulldogs have a chance to

earn a piece of the title with

some luck.

“Now, East has got to do

their work,” Gianfrancesco

said.

The Saints took a step

toward defending their UEC

River title in the nightcap,

scoring in the match’s

opening minute on a Jake

Sterling corner kicker that

was finished by defender

Kevin Heinrich.

East (11-0-3, 3-0 UEC Riv-

er) added a second first-half

goal with 17:03 to go thanks

to a wide run by junior for-

ward Tyler Robbins, whose

scouting skills seem to be on

target.

“I told the boys before

the game, you’ll find me out

wide, because they just press

in,” Robbins said of Gene-

va’s defense. “Sure enough,

I got a great ball right to me,

and I just finished it in.”

The Vikings (5-8, 0-4 UECRiver) had a prime chanceto tie the score at 1 aboutseven minutes into thematch when East goalkeeperChris Lucatorto was brieflysidelined due to a yellowcard ahead of a Vikings freekick just outside the box.The shot from Geneva seniorBeck Nebergall sailed a bithigh.

“To begin the game, itwas just a huge momen-tum push for them to scorewithin [39 seconds], andwe thought if you get thisone back, all the suddenthe energy is back in thegame, we’re feeling betterabout ourselves,” Genevacoach Ryan Estabrook said.“So that would have beena nice one to have, but freekicks are never easy whenthey have a six-person wall.That’s still a tough spot even

though it was a pretty green

keeper out there and it was

close to the net.”

For the second straight

match – East tied Stream-

wood, 0-0, on Saturday

– Saints coach Paul Jennison

delivered a subdued post-

game message. He thought

his unbeaten team’s play lev-

eled off after a strong start

against the Vikings.

“One of the reasons I

never come in here, always

high-fiving, saying we’re

the best team in the world,

is because I see them every

day in practice,” Jennison

said. “I know what we can

do.”

Proceeds from the dou-

bleheader went to the Owen

Payton Foundation to help

the family of 7-year-old

Owen, who was born with

multiple congenital heart

defects. Owen Payton’s

father was a former college

teammate of Estabrook’s at

Augustana.

Warriors’ Ruggles shoots for international gloryAs recently as March of

this year, Josh Ruggles was

a sharpshooting but lit-

tle-known sophomore guard

for the Wheaton Academy

boys basketball program.

Seven months and multi-

ple milestones later, Ruggles

is taking his rising hoops

profile to the international

spotlight.

Ruggles is scheduled to

fly to Spain today in advance

of the “Supercopa” 3-point

shooting competition Satur-

day orchestrated by ACB,

the premier, Spanish profes-

sional basketball league. The

shootout – loaded with pro

players – will take place in

Vitoria, Spain.

The invitation came

about after Ruggles set what

is believed to be a world

record for most 3-point shots

made in 5 minutes. Ruggles

buried 135 trifectas out of 147

attempts – 92 percent – during

the August session, which

was videotaped and posted to

YouTube.

Ruggles’ older brother,

Brandon, aggressively pro-

moted the video on social me-

dia, drawing online acknowl-edgement from celebritiessuch as Phil Jackson, DennisRodman and Spike Lee.Plenty of others took noticeon both sides of the AtlanticOcean.

“Once it got into differ-ent countries, some of thesedifferent countries startedcontacting Wheaton Academyand seeing if they could talkto me,” Ruggles said. “Some-one from Greece interviewedme, and then I got an emailfrom someone represent-ing the Spanish basketballleague, so really just fromBrandon tweeting and gettingthrown in Twitter jail fromall of his tweets, it’s goneviral, and other countrieshave contacted me, which isreally cool.”

Ruggles will travel toSpain with his parents – Daveand Holly – and Brandon.Brandon Ruggles is a collegefreshman at Notre Dame and,

like Josh, will miss a few

days of school to make the

trip. He’ll help lend his Span-

ish language acumen to the

traveling party, which Josh

appreciates greatly.

“You can talk to my Span-

ish teacher on that one, and

she’ll tell you

I’m definitely

not ready for a

Spanish-speak-

ing country,”

he quipped.

The

competition

is scheduled

to feature some well-known

international pros, includ-

ing former Bulls forward

Andres Nocioni, 2013 Okla-

homa City Thunder draftee

Alex Abrines and two-time

Spanish league scoring leader

Jaycee Carroll, a former U.S.

college star at Utah State.

Ruggles, 16, thinks he’s the

only teenager in the competi-

tion, so he’s going in with an

underdog’s mindset.

“I think for me, I just look

at it if I go out here and make

1 out of 25, we’ll just leave

it in Spain and come back,”

Ruggles said. “I really don’t

think I have anything to lose.

I’m the young one in the com-

petition; if I go out there and

outshoot a European pro or

someone like Andres Nocioni

… I’ll just go out, have fun

and see if I can net most of

my shots.”

Even if he can conquer

international stage fright

in the large arena, Ruggles’

shooting depth will be tested

with the 3-point line at 22 feet,

which the 6-foot-1, 155-pound

guard said is at the deeper

end of his typical range.

“I’m not really worried

about the distance,” Ruggles

said. “I tried it the other day

in practice and hit 22 for 25

in going through a practice

round, so I’m not so much

worried about distance as the

different ball they use. I have

to get a feel for the ball. I’m

going in blind on that one.”

Ruggles’ wild 2013 heated

up in March, when he won

the IHSA Class 3A and King

of the Hill 3-point shooting

contests at the state basket-

ball tournament in Peoria.

He didn’t rest on those

achievements, continuing his

feverish work ethic in the fol-

lowing months as he worked

toward his junior season at

Wheaton Academy, stirring

some college recruiting inter-

est in the process.

The Spain trip will mark

Ruggles’ first overseas jour-

ney. About the only down-

side – in order to maintain

his school eligibility, Ruggles

would not be able to accept

the cash prize if he won, even

if he donated the money.

But Ruggles said this trip

is about the life experience,

not the trappings of his grow-

ing celebrity.

“I never would have

thought that I’d be shooting

Saints honor

Drawer before

darkness fallsBy KEVIN DRULEY

[email protected]

ST. CHARLES – A newbanner saluting longtimeSt. Charles East girls tenniscoach Sena Drawer debutedbefore the Saints’ senior daymatch against Geneva onTuesday.

By the time play was halt-ed shortly before 7 p.m., thefamiliar sign on the wall nearthe tennis courts only ranghalf-true.

I n d e e d ,“The sun risesin the East,”but by settingin the west,M o t h e r N a -ture promptedt h e s u s p e n -sion of thispivotal Upstate Eight Con-ference River Division dualuntil Oct. 9.

East (4-0 UEC River) andGeneva (3-0) recently defeat-ed three-time defending con-ference champion Batavia,putting a premium on thisoutcome to officially changethe guard.

“For the past three yearsor so, Batavia has been thestrong No. 1 team,” said Eastsenior Alexa Huskisson, whoteamed with twin sister Carlyfor a 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 2 dou-bles. “It’s nice having Genevaand St. Charles [East] battleagainst it, and then hopefullySt. Charles comes out on top.”

The Saints lead the dual,3-2, with matches at No. 1doubles and No. 3 singles inthe third set. East’s PruthviPatel and Geneva’s ElizabethPrendergast had just reachedthat juncture on the third sin-gles court when darkness en-gulfed play.

East’s tandem of HaydynJones and Kelsie Robertonis deadlocked with counter-parts Margo Hess and EmmaHazel, 3-3, in the third set.

“Good, tough match. My

girls have gotten better andbetter,” Vikings coach Mau-reen Weiler said. “Both sidesare hard-hitting, good dou-bles. It’s fun to watch. It’shard to watch the other side.”

All eyes were on Drawer ina pre-match ceremony high-lighting her 27th season inorange and black.

Taken from the Saints’perspective, that line wouldread “All eyes were on Sena.”

“It’s always ‘Sena.’ It’s afirst-name basis,” Carly Hus-kisson said. “She’s practical-ly another grandmother, an-other mother figure to us, soit’s really nice to have her asa coach.”

To be sure, Drawer dividedher time as daylight dwindledbetween talking strategy withPatel, Jones and Robertonand making sure stragglershad enough leftover browniesor snacks to take home.

“I had no idea that shecoached for 27 years,” saidGeneva’s Kirby Einck, whosevictory at No. 1 singles wasthe first match completed be-fore teammate Grace Kruegersoon followed with a win inthe No. 2 slot. “Whenever wecome here for invites andmatches, she’s always a re-ally sweet lady. So good forher.”

“Totally surprised” by thereception – which includedflowers and an array of oth-er goodies – Drawer did nottreat the festivities as a good-bye.

Regardless of the con-ference race, sectional hostEast likes its chances in thelooming postseason behind asenior-laden group, so retire-ment talk can wait.

“I’m really not there yet,”Drawer said. “I’m not think-ing about that part. I’ll makeup my mind at some point.”

On Tuesday, she was atleast definitive about onematter: You can’t volley inthe dark.

an edited transcript:

Was the Benet game the best

you’ve played so far in your

East career?

Yeah, it definitely was up there.

It was honestly a great game. It

was really fun to be in. It just was

really fun, and we played really

well.

How huge of a win for it for

you guys, confidence-wise?Really good. Benet is an amazing

team so just knowing that we

could pull together as a team and

make the adjustments we needed

to make to play well against them,

it was really good.

Everyone’s got a loss in theconference. Does it feel like

it’s up for grabs?Yeah, it could be anyone. I guess it

just depends on howwell the rest of

the season goes for all of us.

If you had to pick oneteammate to help you withsome difficult homework, who

would it be, and why?I think probably Emily Vitel

because we have a lot of classes

together, and we seem to work

well together.

HOROSCOPE ‘Herb and Dorothy 50x50’:Breaking it up is hard to do

ByMICHAEL O’SULLIVANTheWashington Post

If the 2008 documentary“Herb and Dorothy” lookedat the creation of one of theworld’s great art collections,a trove of nearly 5,000 piecesof mainly minimalist and con-ceptual art put together by aNew York postal worker andhis librarian wife, “Herb andDorothy 50x50” is the story ofits disassembly.

It’s a compelling, evenstirring, tale.

It’s tempting to describethe dispersal of 2,500 piecesfrom Herbert and DorothyVogel’s collection – with 50works being donated to eachof 50 American museums,one from each state – as awholesale destruction ratherthan a disassembly. In fact,one of the artists whose workis most well represented inthe collection (Richard Tuttle,with more than 300 worksonce owned by the Vogels) isvery vocal in the film abouthis disapproval of what hascome to be known as the 50x50project. Although he has sincechanged his mind, Tuttleinitially felt that the collec-tion, which is arguably agiant work of art itself, shouldremain intact.

So did Herb Vogel, as welearn toward the end of Megu-mi Sasaki’s film, which placesa succinct exclamation pointat the end of the saga she be-gan telling in her first film.

The story inspires, andnot just for the couple’sgenerosity. Now worth untoldmillions, the collection isjaw-dropping in scope. Butso were the almost obses-sive-compulsive buyinghabits of the Vogels, whohoused the entire collection

in a one-bedroom apartment,financing it only by Herb’ssalary. (Dorothy’s went to payliving expenses.) Many of theworks, the majority of whichare on paper, were storedin closets or stacked underfurniture.

Equally inspirational isthe way Sasaki’s film showsus the effect that the Vogels’gifts are having, not just onthe institutions that receivedthem, but on the communitiesthat they serve. It’s one thingfor the National Gallery ofArt to showcase work thatis, in many cases, intellectu-ally challenging, even toughto love. The Washingtonmuseum was actually the firstrecipient, in the early 1990s, of

works from the Vogels, someof which were showcasedthere in a 1994 exhibition.But because the NGA wasunable to handle the entirecollection, the 50x50 projectwas devised, in collaborationwith former National Gallerycurator Ruth Fine.

But Sasaki’s camera alsovisits several of the small-er institutions that werechosen as beneficiaries of thebequest, sometimes sittingin as docents struggle to giveviewers the tools to connectwith art that, for a lot offolks, may not even look likeart. Some works collected bythe Vogels consist of simplesnippets of text, printed di-rectly on the wall. One piece,

shown in their apartment, isnothing more than an inchor two of string.

Sasaki’s film makes itclear that the 50x50 projectwas, for many museums, agame-changer, just as it wasfor the people who might oth-erwise never have had theopportunity to see work byChristo and Jeanne-Claude,Martin Johnson, Nam JunePaik, Mark Kostabi and oth-er avant-gardists. The filmis packed with insights fromsome of these artists, as wellas interviews with Herb andDorothy that supplementthe information in the 2008film. Dorothy does most ofthe talking. Herb, who diedin 2012, had grown prettyreticent in his final years.

Herb’s death lends apoignant finality to the film,which ends by showingDorothy clearing out theirapartment and sending thelast of their art collection tothe National Gallery. Onceagain, the impulse is to viewthis disposition as a disinte-gration.

Yet even in the Vogels’apartment, much of thework was out of sight. Andeven if the National Gallery,or some other museum, hadbeen able to take all of it, thebulk of the collection wouldlikely have sat in storage.

The view of the 50x50project as a destruction,Dorothy says, couldn’t befurther from the truth. “Idon’t think it broke it up,”she says. “It brought ittogether.”

• “Herb and Dorothy50x50” received three out offour stars. The film is unratedand contains brief obscenity.It runs 86 minutes.

Dr.Wallace:One of my

good friends earned a

full scholarship from the

University of Pennsylva-

nia. She is a very bright

student and had planned

on going to law school

and then into politics.

She was in her first

semester and doing well

with her studies, but

another friend told me

that Emily had dropped

out of school with her

new boyfriend, and they

joined a religious cult.

Her sister confirmed

that it was true.

I’m really shocked.

Emily was not the type

you would think would

quit college and join a

religious cult. She is

quiet, studious and very

conservative in her life-

style. Why would such

a bright young adult get

sucked into abandoning

college, her family and

friends, just to enter a

wacko cult? – Kayla,Erie, Pa.

Dear Kayla: Teens

join cults for the best

and worst of reasons.

Young people are often

idealistic, rebellious and

gullible, a combination

of qualities that cynical

cult recruiters try very

hard to exploit. Every

teen, as he or she begins

making life decisions for

the first time, will make

mistakes. Joining a cult

is perhaps one of the

most troubling.

Those teens who are

most vulnerable to the

suggestion of cult life

often present a picture

of the world of having

rock-solid plans for

their future, but the are

in fact deeply insecure

about what the future

might bring and hunger

for a sense of belonging,

according to the Cabrini

Mental Health Clinic in

New York City.

The clinic believes

that a “yes” answer to

several of the following

questions indicates a

vulnerability to cult

involvement:

• Is the teen unsure of

his or her decision-mak-

ing ability?

• Is the teen facing a

major decision in life,

such as choosing a col-

lege or career, or leaving

home for the first time?

• Has he or she

recently experienced

a trauma, such as the

death of a family mem-

ber or friend, or the end

of a relationship?

• Is the teen trying to

find himself or herself?

• Does he or she find

it difficult to face the

world as it is, wishing in-

stead for simple answers

or a “better world”?

Many cults play off

this vulnerability by iso-

lating new members on

utopia-like farms in the

countryside, where it is

impossible to maintain

a perspective on the out-

side world. New recruits

are also frequently put

to work selling literature

or flowers on a grueling

dawn-to-dusk basis,

which further weakens

their resistance.

In addition, many

cult diets are low in

protein, contributing

to members’ physical

weakness.

Young adults who

join cults feel their lives

lack fulfillment and have

been convinced that the

cult holds the answer for

a better life in a better

world. But a cult, almost

by definition, is exploit-

ative and manipulative,

and eventually the false-

ness of its promise will

become apparent.

For parents, the best

defense against cults is

to build strong relation-

ships with their teens

based on a mutual trust

and respect within the

family.

Dear Abby: I have been datingMr. Right for two years. “Phil”is the man I want to spend mylife with. When we are togetherprivately, everything is perfect.

The problem is, Phil hangs outwith his old college buddies everyfew weeks or months, and it ofteninvolves his ex-girlfriends. Theydon’t hang out alone. There isalways at least one other personthere. The situations usuallyinclude drinking, which worriesme.

In my opinion, Phil should notbe seeing his exes, even thoughhis college friends are still bud-dies with them.

Am I overly jealous, or shouldI call it quits because he won’trespect my feelings on the matter?– Home Alone In Kokomo

Dear Home Alone: I don’t thinkyou are overly jealous, but I dothink you may be overly insecure.Has Phil given you any reasonto think he has cheated on you?If not, you should trust that he isdoing nothing more than hangingout occasionally with old friends.

You say he is encounteringexes (plural) when he sees hismale friends. If it was just one,

you might have cause to worry.Remember, these women are exesfor a reason. Unless you want tobe another ex, you should lightenup because insecurity and posses-siveness are unattractive traits.

Dear Abby:We have lived nextdoor to a couple, “Evie” and“Earl,” for five years. I thoughtwe were good friends. Over theyears, I vented to Evie about myrelationship with my daughter-in-law, “Cate.” I watch my twograndkids most of the week andhave complained to her aboutCate’s poor parenting skills.

Last summer, my daughter-in-law made a concerted effortto befriend Evie, and they nowsocialize together. This has prettymuch killed my friendship withEvie and worsened my relation-ship with my D-I-L.

This has affected me emotion-ally and physically to the pointthat I either want to cut off tieswith my son and/or move – nei-

ther of which is really an option. Ihave tried talking to both partiesto no avail. I don’t know what todo. – Betrayed In Pennsylvania

Dear Betrayed: If you hadconcerns about your daughter-in-law’s parenting skills, the personyou should have discussed themwith was Cate. And if Evie wasas good a friend as you thought,she wouldn’t be hanging aroundwith your daughter-in-law to theexclusion of you.

I assume that you, your sonand Cate are still on speakingterms and you’re still watchingthe kids “most of the week.” Ifthat’s not true and you have beencut off by everyone, then the mostimportant thing you need to dois take care of your mental andphysical health. Accept that Eviewill never be your buddy againand start socializing with others.

If you are no longer watchingyour grandchildren, your son andD-I-L will have to make alterna-tive arrangements for childcare,which will cost them money theymay be reluctant to spend.

Dear Doctor K: I’m 65 and myface is starting to look old. Canyou recommend nonsurgicaltreatments to take a few years offmy face?

Dear Reader: Our faces agealong with the rest of us. Thedifference is that our face is thepart of ourselves that we look atmost often – and that others lookat most often. Some people acceptthese changes; others fight themevery step of the way. But there’salso a middle road for people whoprefer to make relatively smalltweaks that can make a notice-able difference.

When we’re young, fat plumpsup our forehead, temples, cheeks,and areas around our eyesand mouth. With age, that fatloses volume. Features that wereround may sink. Skin that wassmooth and tight loosens andsags. Facial bones also change.Our upper jaw, lower jaw andcheekbones shrink. Less bonecontributes to looser skin. And,of course, there are the wrin-kles. (I’ve put an illustration ofcommon facial changes on mywebsite, AskDoctorK.com.)

Many nonsurgical treatmentscan give your face a more youth-ful appearance. I was really du-

bious about this, but I’ve learnedI was wrong. And I didn’t learnthis just from my dermatologistcolleagues – I learned it from mypatients:

• Sun protection. Protectingyour face from the sun is thesingle best way to keep it look-ing youthful. Use broad-spec-trum sunscreen that protectsagainst both UVA and UVBlight, and wear a wide-brimmedhat when you’re outside. Mydermatologist colleagues sayto do this “whenever you’reoutside, even for a minute.”What I recommend, and what Ido myself, is to use sunscreenand a hat whenever I know I’llbe outside for more than 10minutes a day. (I’ll bet I get mailfrom dermatologists telling methat’s too lenient.)

• Creams and lotions.Moisturizers may temporarilymake wrinkles less noticeable.Exfoliant creams can removedead skin cells that don’t sloughoff as readily as they used to.

Prescription creams contain-ing retinoids reduce wrinklesand liver spots caused by sunexposure.

If declarer stumbles,make him fall

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Winston Churchill said, “Menoccasionally stumble over thetruth, but most pick themselvesup and hurry off as if nothing hadhappened.”

When a declarer stumbles,making a mistake, it is the job ofthe defenders to make sure thathe falls, unable to pick himself upand still make his contract.

In today’s deal, which, yes,bears a remarkable resemblanceto yesterday’s, South ended infour spades. And when it wasoriginally played, two errorswere made, which balanced eachother out. West led the diamondking (under which East accurate-ly dropped the jack to show the 10as well). South ducked, took thenext diamond with his ace, drewtwo rounds of trumps ending onthe board, played a heart to hisace, and led a second heart. WhenWest played the queen, declarerducked in the dummy. Now Westcashed the club ace to stop anovertrick. What were the twomistakes?

In the modern style, Northresponded three spades, showinga weak hand with four-card spadesupport. With a game-invitation-al hand, North would have cue-bid three clubs. This style allowsresponder to bid either construc-tively or obstructively.

Now to the errors. First, as wesaw yesterday, when South led alow heart from the board at trickfive, he should have put in his 10.East would have been kept off thelead.

Second, when South won withhis heart ace, West should haverealized that he needed to get hispartner on play for a club leadthrough South. West should havesacrificed his heart queen underSouth’s ace. Then South wouldhave fallen on his face.
