Summer intern saw success at ChronicleHaving helped out in

the Kane County Chroniclenewsroom for the past twomonths or so, Jake Bartelsonhas completed his summerinternship.

Jake started his internshipin late May and primarilyworked on sports stories.Sports editor Jay Schwaband I really enjoyed workingwith Jake. He is a talentedperson with a great attitude,and we’re sure he’ll do wellwhen he returns to Ball StateUniversity in the fall.

As part of his internship,Jake was required to write apaper for school. He sharedthe paper with me before he

left, writing, in part:“While I don’t know what

the future holds for me voca-tion-wise, I am so thankfulfor the opportunity to work atthe Chronicle this summer.I can’t thank Jay Schwab,Kathy Gresey, Kevin Druleyand the rest of the staff formaking me feel part of thegroup and providing me withso many opportunities togrow as a person and jour-nalist.

“I came to work everyday looking forward to newchallenges and writing aboutthe topic I love: sports. Iwould highly recommend anytelecommunications major topursue an internship or en-try-level job at a newspaper,as I’ve improved my writingstyle and grammar prettysubstantially, and as I’ve beentold by many in sports mediabusiness that if I want tosucceed in it, I have to be ableto write.

“The Chronicle providedthe platform, and I hope mywork reflected the paper’sprofessionalism and broughtmore readers in as well. There

are solid journalists there,and I am just glad to be asmall part of it. I look forwardto continuing my education atBall State, and can’t wait forwhat’s next for me.”

Thanks so much to Jakefor helping us out this sum-mer. And best of luck to himin his future endeavors.

Creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky

“They’re creepy and they’rekooky,

Mysterious and spooky,They’re altogether ooky…”Right about now, you’re

probably fighting the urge tosnap your fingers, hum along,and fill in the rest of the versewith “ ... The Addams Family.”

But, just this once, trysubstituting – and I knowthis is a mouthful: “Phalacro-coracidae.” Or, in English, TheCormorant Family.

Specifically, we’re talkingabout Phalacrocorax auritus,the double-crested cormorant –that creepy, kooky, mysteriousand spooky bird that is pop-ping up all along the Fox River,as well as select marshes andneighborhood retention ponds.

Most people, upon seeingthis bird in our area, do adouble-take. Is it a loon with-out white markings? A blackgoose that sits in trees? Is it ananhinga, that southern birdknown for perching with itswings spread wide?

The answers, in order, are:No. Nope again. And almost,but not quite.

Double-crested cormorants,or DCCOs, in birderspeak,have their own family but areclosely related to anhingas.Both are primitive diving birdswell-adapted to their ecologicalniche, which is consumingfish. But each uses a differenttechnique: Anhingas prowlthe depths and stalk their preybefore stabbing it from the sidewith their pointy bill. DCCOs,on the other hand, use power-ful muscles and unique webbedfeet – the webbing extendsacross all four toes – to chaseafter their fishy quarry, whichthey snare with a serrated billthat is hooked on the end.

Also like anhingas, DC-COs have dense bones, anadaptation that functions likea weight belt on a diver andhelps the birds stay below thewater’s surface. It’s not unusu-al to see a cormorant paddling

along with much of its bodysubmerged, its neck and headthe only parts protruding,somewhat Loch Ness mon-ster-like, above the water.

Interestingly, neitheranhingas nor DCCOs birdproduce much preen oil – thecompound ducks and otherwaterfowl use to enhance thewater-resistant qualities mostfeathers naturally have. Atfirst this might seem like adisadvantage, since DCCOsend up soaking wet every timethey dive and swim. But if youthink about it, this lack of wa-ter repellency is actually quitehelpful. It prevents the birdsfrom becoming buoyant andlets them pursue their preywith greater speed and agility.

The issue is when it’s timeto leave the water. Like wetclothes, soggy feathers staythat way for a long time, unlessthey’re spread out to dry.That’s where the birds’ char-acteristic posture, with wingsoutstretched, comes in. It’s alittle creepy and kooky, but,bottom line, it’s functional.

Cormorants tend to hangout in groups, and the sight ofmultiple dark birds perched ina tree, oriented toward the sun,wings akimbo, can be a littlemysterious and spooky. Evenraven-like. In fact, the latterpart of cormorant’s genusname, -corax, means raven,and the name cormorant is acontraction of the term “coraxmarinus,” or raven of the sea.

Odd birds that they are, cor-morants are not without theircharms. Though their plumageis predominantly black, thebirds have bright yellow-or-ange skin on their face andneck. Their eyes, if you can getclose enough to see them, area gem-like aquamarine, andduring breeding season theinside of their mouth turns adeep Caribbean blue. It’s alsoduring this period that thebirds develop their namesakedouble crests – wispy plumes,one behind each eye.

Remember how MorticiaAddams speaking Frenchwould drive Gomez wild? Caramia! DCCOs also perform anumber of elaborate courtshiprituals, including wing wav-

ing, water dances and the de-livery of nesting materials thatcan include sticks, vegetation,rope, nets and other debris.

Though breeding seasonhas now passed, there are stillplenty of interesting cormo-rant behaviors to observe – andplenty of places to see them.One popular hangout is in adead tree on the east bank ofthe Fox River in Batavia. Headto the bike bridge betweenWilson Street and the dam, andlook up from the north side ofthe bridge. Chances are thecormorants will be there, look-ing down at you. Other likelyplaces I’ve come across areBoy Scout Island in St. Charlesand the retention pond by theJudicial Center at Peck Roadand Route 38.

And thanks to alert readerDr. Walter Thyng, we’re nowaware of three cormorants thatare frequenting the ponds atPeck and Campton Hills Roads,as well as the pond at thesoutheast border of James O.Breen Community Park.

We’ve got lots more storiesand information to share, butthese will have to wait untilnext week when we exploresome of the controversiessurround these fascinatingbirds. In the meantime, I hopeyou get a chance to see ’em.They really are a scre’em. TheCormorant Family.

She has alsoloved being involved in theextracurricular activitieslikeMusic andheaterClub,Band, and Robotics.Wecouldn't imagine sendingher anywhere else, Da Vincireally is the perfect schoolfor her.” - DVA Parent

“My son proudly asserts that Da Vinci Academy is absolutely the rightplace for him. Ater years of not having his academic needs recognized ormet in the public school system and enduring the negative consequencesof that, he is thriving and happyagain about going to school.” -DVA Parent

“Every teacher and student in this school knows our child's name.he small class sizes give the teachers more time to focus on the in-dividual child's needs. I love everything about this school. Educationand love is the most important things we can give our children andthis school does both. hank you! Happy Child = Happy Parents.” -DVA Parent

“We have it all...”

You have probably heard the saying, seeing is believing. We had heard it too. But each and every

time we visited other retirement communities near our home in Wheaton we found out they just

weren’t able to live up to our expectations. At some point during our search, good friends told us

Oak Crest has it all – great location, beautiful homes, unbeatable amenities and future security. I’ll be honest with you, we were still a

little skeptical. Then we visited Oak Crest and after meeting the friendly staff and talking with people who make Oak Crest their home

we were convinced.

Now, we call Oak Crest home and tell everyone we know that it’s true. Oak Crest has it all and so do we.

9Old sign stands the test of time

By CHARLES [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – A businesssign with more than 50 yearsof history in St. Charles mightbe saved from ordinance re-strictions, thanks to the ef-forts of its employees.

T h e f r e e s t a n d i n g S t .Charles Bowl sign is beingconsidered for a historic signdesignation through the cityof St. Charles. The HistoricPreservation Committee onJuly 16 voted unanimouslyin favor of recommendingthe designation, said RussellColby, the city’s planning di-vision manager.

If the St. Charles City Coun-cil votes in August in favor ofthe historic designation, thesign would be exempt fromthe 2006 zoning ordinance,which requires all freestand-ing and wall-mounted signsto be brought into complianceby a fixed date. The councilhas extended the compliancedate multiple times, and thelatest date is Oct. 16.

A sign can be consideredhistoric if it was lawfullyerected before Jan. 1, 1966,and has been continuouslymaintained in the same loca-tion since that date, accordingto the city’s zoning ordinance.

T h e f r e e s t a n d i n g S t .Charles Bowl sign has been afixture in the parking lot out-side the business at 2520 W.Main St. since it opened in Oc-tober 1961, said Toni McGar-ry, St. Charles Bowl manager.

Without an exemption thebusiness would have had toget a new sign, McGarry said,and that was a scenario the

owners didn’t want to consid-er.

“The owners are all fami-ly; it’s a legacy in the family,”McGarry said of the businessand the sign.

McGarry estimates thatshe and St. Charles Bowl op-erator Dorothy Heck spent acombined 80 hours research-ing the sign, including siftingthrough microfilm and askingvarious people if they had oldphotos of the sign. WilliamManson was able to tell Mc-Garry that the sign was creat-ed by an Aurora company.

A St. Charles Bowl em-

ployee found a picture in thebusiness’s basement from thesummer of 1967 that has thesign in it, McGarry said.

The city itself ended upfinding some strong evidencein the form of aerial photostaken before 1966. The aerialphotos show a shadow beingcast onto the parking lot fromthe spot where the sign hasbeen since it was erected.

The historic designationrequest will next go before thePlanning and DevelopmentCommittee on Aug. 11, andthen to the full City Councillater that month, Colby said.

The ownersof the St.Charles Bowl,located at2520 W.Main St. inSt. Charles,requested ahistoric signdesigna-tion for itsfreestandingsign in theparking lot.

Part of the program willfeature a dugout canoe creat-ed by Denis Kania, the parkdistrict’s manager of naturalareas.

Kania’s workspace forthe canoe is outside HickoryKnolls Discovery Center, 3795Campton Hills Drive in St.Charles. Visitors to the centercan watch Kania carve andchisel the canoe out of a felledcottonwood tree.

The word “dugout” indi-cates that the canoe is dug outof a log by hand using tech-niques similar to those NativeAmericans employed centu-ries ago, according to the re-lease.

Native Americans typicallyused softwoods such as cotton-wood or pine when construct-ing canoes. They would usefire to help shape the inside ofthe canoe – burning the woodand scraping it with a clamshell.

Kania does not refer to blue-prints or plans when craftinghis dugout canoes; even photo-graphs of such Native Ameri-can boats are hard to find.

“Once I know what I’m try-ing to create, I want it to looklike a replica,” Kania wrote inthe release.

D u r i n g t h e s u m m e r

months, Kania typically willspend about an hour eachmorning working on the dug-out canoe and grab a few min-utes later in the day, if possi-ble.

Visitors to the HickoryKnolls Discovery Center whohappen to catch Kania at workare welcome to observe andask questions. Kania expectsto have the canoe completedshortly after the school yearresumes.

Working with a log about2 feet in diameter and 12 feetlong, Kania used a chainsawto roughly prepare the treeby cutting it into a workablelength and establishing a sta-bilizing base.

From that point on, how-ever, only hand tools such asaxes, hammers and chiselsare used to shape the canoeand whittle out the interiorspace, which can snugly fitone adult or accommodate afew third-graders.

The canoe currently underconstruction is slated for usein the Native American villagedemonstration area off Camp-ton Hills Road in St. CharlesTownship.

Previous Kania-craftedcanoes have found their wayback to Hickory Knolls Discov-ery Center as part of their ownNative American display thatalso includes a wigwam Kaniaconstructed.

It was fun to see families and children enjoying the

carnival rides, the FMX Freestyle Motocross show and the

Demo Derby. Lots of people gathered around the 4-H

barns, the educational Big Cat Tiger Encounter, the Swifty

Swine Racing Pigs, Magic Show and Petting Zoo.

The Professional Championship Bull Riding (PCBR) events

also offered fans music by country artists

Joe Diffie, Drew Baldrige and Chris Lane.

Fans came as far as Kenosha, Wisconsin!

A home builder’s request to addmarketing signs near BlackberryCreek in Elburn seemed likely toresult in a drawn-out debate earlierthis month.

But because of a measured,thoughtful response from the ElburnVillage Board, a reasonable compro-mise now appears within sight.

Orleans Homes sought to install20-by-10 foot, double-faced marketingsigns along Keslinger and Hughesroads. The village expressed initial

concerns about the number of devel-opers who would push for inclusionon the signs.

Village staff members also pointedout that the provision initially al-lowing for the signs was intended forthe original developer, which is nolonger in the area.

At Monday’s Village Board meet-ing, a proposal surfaced under whichsigns promoting just a website wouldbe allowed. The website, which couldbe maintained by Orleans Homes,

would supply detailed informationfor a fee provided by those looking tosell property in the area. The villageindicated it will contact the Blackber-ry Creek homeowners association formore feedback about the plan.

Legitimate compromise can behard to attain for governmentalbodies, but we are cautiously optimis-tic in this case. Elburn appears to beon the right track to resolving thissignage debate in a way that showsrespect to all parties.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of

speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.THE FIRSTAMENDMENT

WRITE TO US

The Tri-Cities area is widely con-

sidered a safe place to live. A recent

homicide in Geneva was the first

murder case in town in almost 40

years, and other types of high-pro-

file, violent crimes also are rarities

throughout the immediate area.

When it comes to instances

of driving under the influence of

alcohol, though, Tri-Cities residents

do not enjoy the same kind of peace

of mind.

Sadly, the police reports in our

newspaper often are chock-full of

DUI charges, which generally do

not attract the same level of public

consternation as other crimes that

can carry lethal consequences.

That is, until we learn of sit-

uations such as what occurred

last weekend. Michael Szot, 21,

of Geneva was charged with four

counts of aggravated driving under

the influence of alcohol causing the

death of another person and two

counts of reckless homicide after

two friends he allegedly was driving

with after a night of drinking in

Naperville did not survive a crash

into a water-filled quarry. Szot also

had smoked marijuana earlier in

the day, prosecutors said.

Szot, a Northwestern student,

has no criminal record, according

to his attorney, but he now faces a

potentially long prison sentence and

a lifetime of regret. His loved ones

and the loved ones of the two crash

victims who died never will be the

same.

These are the potentially grave

ramifications that can happen every

time somebody takes the wheel after

having a few alcoholic drinks. We

might think we live in a safe area,

and in a lot of ways, that is true. But

as long as so many impaired drivers

are on the roads, the potential for

tragedy on our streets is a real

threat to our communities’ well-be-

ing.

Discussion shows promising signs

The blessingsin their livesI just read the column “Too

many complainers” in [theweekend] edition, and I justwanted to say thank God forthat person because they couldnot have said it better if theytried.We do have too many com-

plainers. Too many people takefor granted what they havebecause they [were] born herein America. Too many peoplewho don’t remember whatimmigrants went through whenthey came here, even throughEllis Island or anywhere elsethey immigrated. It doesn’t workthat way now. And I cannotunderstand how anybody coulddeny children of anything. Theyare the world’s future, and thankGod they were able to come toour country. They are free topractice their religion. They arefree to complain if things arewrong, but sometimes peopledo complain too much. Way tomuch.I thank God for every day that

I have, and I thank God that Iwas born in this country, and Ithank God for all the blessings inmy life. Maybe if people thoughtmore about the blessings intheir lives, instead of complain-ing about other people.

We need the rightcomplainersI am responding to “Too

many complainers.” We needcomplainers. We also do notneed stupid voters that votethese stupid politicians in. Theytalk about the illegals that arecoming into this country – thechildren and their parents sentthem. Isn’t that some kind oflaw that you just do not giveyour children away to anothercountry?And as for the grandparents

that came, my grandparentscame from Europe, and theycould not get a job until theylearned English. They had togo to school, and they had topay for it. They did not have thelibraries to teach them to learnEnglish and everything else thatthey needed. We need complain-ers. We need the right complain-ers, and the right politicians.

Protect our countryWhether for a person, cause

or a foreign country, the act ofgiving needs to involve not justa loving heart – rather intelli-gent decisions are needed forour country to be successful for

the generations who follow us.Currently, we provide many ben-efits to illegal residents whenour dear veterans need help.They should be our No. 1 priority.If a nation has weak borders,

there will be chaos with the

threat of terrorists coming inalong with children. It is import-ant to love our neighbor, butat the same time it is silly andextremely dangerous to ignorecommon sense.We need to protect our coun-

try, or in time we will have nocountry to protect.

Restricted videogamblingAs one who is not fond of

gambling, Batavia and St.Charles are taking an unrealisticapproach to video gambling.The organizations who wantthe video gambling are mem-bers-only clubs. The cities canallow the video gambling butrestrict access to only membersof the clubs.Veterans have to be veterans

to join the VFW or Americanlegions. Guests would notbe allowed to use the videogambling until they becomemembers. The local police musthave immediate access to thesefacilities to make sure the orga-nizations comply with the cityordinance that only membersare playing the video gamblingmachines.

What about themusicians?I have two comments. First,

blasting loud music full of foullanguage is offensive to manypeople.If you enjoy such music, please

turn the volume down when youare filling your car with gasoline.The music is inappropriate forchildren to hear.Second, I would love to read

more about all the talented mu-sicians in our schools. I wouldlove to read as much about ourtalented musicians, artists andthespians as I do about studentathletes. Thank you.

Character wouldchange foreverWhy is Batavia considering to

rezone to allow a huge indus-trial park at the corner of KirkRoad and Wind Energy Pass?The neighborly character willchange forever, with 56 acres ofconcrete warehouse buildingsand truck parking lots. KirkRoad will become a convoy

of semi-trucks, adding to thealready slowed traffic and safetyconcerns.The residents who bought

their homes in this area, trustingthat Batavia would build amulti-family complex and retailthere which it is now zonedthere. Which would leave themwith lower property values. Isthis fair? For all of Batavia thiswill diminish the attractivenessof Batavia. There is websiteabout this at www.keepbatavia-neighborhoods.com.

Hooray for Hobby LobbyThe medical insurance

provided by my employer is formedical problems, such as abroken arm, pneumonia or anadenomectomy and other prob-lems dealing with my health.Conception and contraceptionis not a medical problem; it issomething that can be caredfor by careful planning or justsaying no. Hooray for HobbyLobby.

Give them mapsLast week U.S. Senate Leader

Harry Reid, ... U.S. Sen. DickDurbin’s ... boss stated that theborder is secure. If the borderis secure, why aren’t any ofthe illegal children from SouthAmerica being transferred toplaces like Las Vegas, Reno,Carson City and Elko, Nevada?It appears that the Nevada

borders are secure but not Tex-as or Arizona from the influx ofillegal immigrants. Perhaps Reidand Durbin should read maps ofthe United States so they knowwhere the borders are.

The Kane County Chronicle is taking a closer look at marriage in the minor leagues in a two-part series.Today focuses on the wives’ view. On Friday, the players’ perspectives were the focus.

Shayli and Jake Hannemann (center), who have been married since September 2013, with Megan Kingston (left), 9, have stayed at the St. Charles home of Eric and Rachel Kingston(right) during Jake’s time as a Kane County Cougars player.

Date nightsoften haveto wait

Ballplayers’ wives pick theirspots for downtime diversions

GENEVA – Rachel Bote and

Shayli Hannemann giggle at

the notion of an opera to be

named later.

As baseball wives, the spous-

es of infielder David Bote and

outfielder Jake Hannemann ar-

en’t waiting until the offseason

to strike for equal time.

With baseball teams spend-

ing half their time on the road

as it is, both couples realize it’s

imperative to diversify their

experience while living in a

new part of the country.

“They’re really good about

off days are good date nights,”

Rachel Bote said. “We get our

time to have some fun.”

David Bote was sent down

Thursday from the Kane County

Cougars to Short-A Boise, while

Jake Hannemann was promoted

one day earlier from the Cou-

gars to Advanced-A Daytona.

Both, however, spent the bulk

of their first full seasons as mar-

ried ballplayers in Kane County.

The Hannemanns walked

Third Street in Geneva earlier

this season, while the Botes

enjoyed exploring Chicago.

Both couples could list a few

favorite places for food other

than Fifth Third Bank Ballpark,

host family residences.The Botes, who stayed with the

Robey family of Carol Stream, em-braced a full house of players whoalso included right-handers Zak Her-mans, James Pugliese and MichaelWagner. The Botes had their ownspace and bathroom.

Rachel Bote often visited otherparts of the suburbs with her hostparents when the team was away,speaking especially fondly of a recenttrip to The Morton Aboretum in Lisle.

“It’s been so wonderful. It’s reallygreat, too,” she said. “These peoplejust welcome you into their homeand then even more than that – bothof you as a part of their family.”

Before his wife moved in after study-ing at Brigham Young University forthe spring semester, Jake Hannemannbonded with the four daughters of St.Charles couple Eric and Rachel Kings-ton enough that the quartet consideredhim a long-lost brother.

Hannemann lived elsewhereduring the first few weeks of the sea-son before calling the nearest congre-gation of The Church of Jesus Christof Latter-day Saints – of which he is amember – about prospective lodging.

He followed the same patternwhile playing with the parent Cubs’affiliates at Rookie League Arizonaand Short-A Boise last season andnow faces a similar call in Daytona.

“We don’t really feel stressedmoving here and there just becauseour church is worldwide,” JakeHannemann said. “We just call ourchurch up and they usually help out.”

In April, Eric Kingston, the bishopof one LDS congregation on Old KirkRoad, a short drive across the streetfrom Fifth Third Bank Ballpark,asked Hannemann to join the familyfor Easter Sunday dinner. The planwas to discuss placing him with aMormon family nearby. By the end ofthe meal, Hannemann and his soon-to-arrive wife had the Kingstons’ St.Charles basement if they wanted it.

The Kingston children – Sydney,16; Kennedy, 14; Addison, 11 andMegan, 9 – quickly warmed to ShayliHannemann, too. A would-be oldersister who jokes and offers occasion-al wardrobe input, she often took thegroup for milkshakes after droppingher husband off at the ballpark onhome game afternoons.

Countless card games, movies andHawaiian Punch floats later, the Kings-tons figured their girls would cry at thenews of the Hannemanns’ departure.

“Our children have noticed, youknow, that they have really positiveattitudes and they notice how appre-ciative they are of each other,” RachelKingston said. “We’re glad that they’veseen that in another couple, not justmom and dad. … They’ve not just beenpart of our family; they’ve been posi-tive role models for good relationshipsand how to treat one another.”

Of course, it all comes back to the

ballpark, where Bote and Hannemann’sbetter halves don’t exactly toil.

Although Shayli Hannemannmissed last week’s road trip to Lan-sing and Great Lakes to visit familyin Utah, she traveled to a majority ofaway games since arriving in the FoxValley. That makes her the dean ofCougars significant others, at least interms of innings watched.

There’s a group, to be sure.Throughout the season, ShayliHannemann and Rachel Bote have be-friended several players’ girlfriendsand invited them to sit nearby.

“It’s been awesome,” ShayliHannemann said, “because we metthem at the beginning and then theyjust continue to come back. So it’sthis ongoing friendship that we justcontinue to build on.”

“And they’re supportive, too,” add-ed Rachel Bote. “We get [texts] fromthem. ‘Oh, he got a homer,’ or, ‘Hegot a great hit,’ or something. Andit’s like friends from all around theworld, literally, that we’re meeting.”

With their husbands playing

together at Short-A Boise for partsof 2013, Bote and Hannemann, thensporting only engagement rings,grew accustomed to visiting the ball-park with their families.

Both clans boast strong baseballfoundations. David Bote’s father,Bob, was a longtime prep baseballcoach in Colorado who assistedanother son, Danny, when FaithChristian won a Colorado state titlein David Bote’s senior season in 2011.

Hannemann, born Shayli John-ston, attended several games in hernative Orem, Utah, growing up. TheOrem Owlz, a Los Angeles AngelsRookie League affiliate, play about 45minutes south of the Angels’ Triple-Aclub in Salt Lake City, another base-ball destination trip for the Johnstons.

In Boise, Hawks manager GaryVan Tol beamed while watchingDavid Bote and Jake Hannemannbegin to establish themselves both asyoung men and minor league pros-pects. He saw a developmental ver-sion of the life he currently enjoys.

Now in his seventh season with theHawks and second as manager, VanTol welcomes his wife, Chrissy, andfour children as fixtures at the ball-park and in the clubhouse. The familylives in Boise year-round, with Chris-sy Van Tol working as an official inthe Boise State athletic department.

“It’s great that baseball accepts thatbecause of the grind and the time thatyou’re away from your family,” GaryVan Tol said. “Having your family atthe ballpark is allowed and welcomed,as long as the kids don’t get in the wayand make sure that you can still doyour job and there’s no distractions.And there usually isn’t a problem, andit’s a great experience for everybody.”

The Botes and Hannemanns real-ize plenty must go their way to reachsuch a family stage. Being along-side their husbands in the game ofpotential major league advancementconstantly offers new wrinkles.

Much like marriage, navigatingthrough the process hinges on faith,love, trust and good fortune.

And if you’re adept at handlingcurveballs, all the better.

Eleven-year-old Addison Kingstonof St. Charles recently introducedWiffle ball to her sisters’ usual lineupof backyard fare.

She also has monopolized her sum-mer reading, embarking on a quest toread any bit of baseball copy she canfind.

That’s what happens when there’s aminor leaguer living in your base-ment.

In past years, Eric and RachelKingston took their four daughtersto a few Cougars games, but theinterest and acumen heightenedconsiderably once outfielder JakeHannemann and his wife, Shayli,moved in. It hardly waned during theCougars’ road trips.

“Now the kids want to know everysingle night what the stats are, whatthe scores are,” Rachel Kingstonsaid. “They want to listen when theycan.”

Back home in Orem, Utah, Shay-li Hannemann receives constantreminders of her parents’ interest intheir son-in-law, the leadoff man.

“It’s funny because every night,they’re sitting back home eitherwatching or listening, so we’ll get textsduring the game, like, ‘Oh, awesomehit,’ or, ‘Oh, strikeout,’ you know,”she said. “But either way, they’re justalways supportive. There’s, like, con-stant feedback throughout the game,so that’s been awesome.”

Rachel Bote, the wife of infielderand fellow Coloradoan David Bote,gets similar feedback from her family.Both spouses hope the trend contin-ues in the coming seasons, as theirhusbands ideally progress through theparent Cubs’ farm system.

Advanced-A Daytona – where JakeHannemann was assigned Wednes-day – marks the next rung above theClass-A Cougars, followed by Dou-ble-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa.

But Rachel Bote and ShayliHannemann could have recited the listas easily as their beaus.

“I feel like it’s hard not to becomefamiliar with all that, just becauseit’s kind of the talk of everything,”Shayli Hannemann said. “So, I mean,we’re familiar with it, but we kind ofjust focus on where he’s at, what he’sdoing here.”

The fantasies can wait for the back-yard, and often do. Jake Hannemannis happy to show Addison Kingstonand her siblings the ins-and-outs ofthrowing and hitting.

Dunston terrific up top

With Jake Hannemann’s promo-tion to Advanced-A Daytona earlierthis week, the Cougars had a voidat the top of their lineup.So far, Shawon Dunston, Jr., is fill-

ing it ably. Dunston had three morehits Friday to finish the three-gameSouth Bend series with six hits. Healso stole a base and was caughtstealing.“He’s stepping up,” Cougars

manager Mark Johnson said.“That’s what we need and that’swhat we talked about a few daysago with the team. There’s move-ment, there’s always going to bemovement and guys have to stepup and play the part, and he’s reallydone it.”

Chesny checks in

Second baseman Chesny Youngmade his Cougars debut, going 1 for3 with a walk and two runs scoredwhile batting second in the order.Young, the Cubs’ 14th round draft

pick in June, is an Atlanta nativewho played collegiately at Mercer.He is the second member of theCubs’ 2014 draft class to play inKane County after top pick KyleSchwarber, who already has beenshipped to Daytona.Young earned a quick promotion

to Kane County after batting .354with nine RBIs in 15 games at Boise.

COUGARSSHORTHOPS

KANE COUNTY 7, SOUTH BEND 2

Cougars prevail in rough night on basepathsBy JAY SCHWAB

[email protected]

GENEVA – There were some pinpointdeliveries Friday night at Fifth Third BankBallpark. Few of them, however, came fromthe pitchers.

On a night in which outfielders show-cased their arms, the Cougars defeatedSouth Bend, 7-2, at Fifth Third Bank Ball-park for a series sweep.

The teams combined for six outfieldassists, four by South Bend, as overly ag-gressive baserunning helped keep a gamemoving that otherwise was dictated by theoffenses.

Cougars right fielder Jeffrey Baez hadboth of the Cougars’ outfield assists, cuttingdown one runner at home and doubling an-other Silver Hawk off second base after mak-ing a lunging catch in the top of the third.

“It’s very good, very important for theteam,” Baez said. “It helps the pitchers.”

Cougars manager Mark Johnson praisedthe defensive display by Baez – one of theteam’s newcomers – but would have liked tosee a little less drama from his own team onthe basepaths.

“It’s a good thing in a way,” Johnsonsaid. “It means you have runners on baseand you’ve got a lot of action on the bases. …

We ran into a couple outs tonight but we hada couple plays where we were aggressive inthe right spots.”

Starting pitcher Ben Wells, making hisCougars debut, needed all the help he couldget. Wells was fortunate to allow only tworuns in his four innings. He walked five andallowed five hits, but wiggled out of enoughjams – thanks largely to Baez – to keep KaneCounty on course to sweep the three-gameseries.

“He limited the damage,” Johnson saidof Wells. “He put himself in a lot of binds.That was a very, very, very stressful fourinnings.”

Cougars third baseman Jeimer Can-delario continued his resurgent season af-ter struggling in Daytona during April andMay. Candelario went 3 for 4 with two dou-bles and four RBIs.

Candelario has 24 RBIs in 30 games withthe Cougars (67-36 overall, 22-11 second half).

“His confidence is there, and it’s goodto see,” Johnson said. “Especially whenhe came down [from Daytona] and he wasdown in the dumps and didn’t really haveany confidence.”

The Cougars’ pitching staff allowed eightwalks on the night but relievers MichaelWagner and Zak Hermans combined for fiveinnings of three hit, shutout ball.

PREP ZONEWhen the school year

ended, Anthony Holubeckibarely had heard of IMGAcademy.

A lot changed, and quick-ly, for the Kaneland firebal-ler, who announced Thurs-day that he’s transferring tothe prestigious developmen-tal academy in Bradenton,Florida this fall.

Holubecki pitched in Flor-ida at a travel tournament inearly June. Shortly thereaf-ter, Holubecki and his familyheard from IMG Academystudent-athlete advisor JasonElias, and a visit to IMG wasarranged.

“Right away, I didn’t re-ally know what it was aboutuntil I went on a visit downthere, and then I really fig-ured it out,” Holubecki said.“I know it’s a big change butit seems like a good one.”

IMG Academy’s websitenotes a long line of eventu-al Major League Baseballplayers who trained at IMGAcademy. Holubecki, a highschool junior who has madea college verbal commitmentto Notre Dame, hopes tojoin that club in the comingyears.

“It was a big decision, butthis is what I want to do,”Holubecki said. “I want to gointo Notre Dame as a fresh-man and make an impact orbe ready for the MLB Draftin 2016.”

The 16-year-old Elburnresident brought uncommonvelocity to the mound as ahigh school underclassman.

Holubecki did not pitchfor Kaneland’s summer teamthis year, instead focusing

on travel ball with his Elite

Baseball Training team. He

spoke with Knights coach

Brian Aversa before public-

ly announcing his decision

Thursday.

“He definitely has a gifted

arm, a very

live arm,”

Aversa said.

“Anybody

that throws

92 (mph) is

going to catch

somebody’s

eye. Hope-

fully, when

Anthony gets

to that academy they’re going

to work on some of the things

that are his weaknesses and

continue to build on his

strengths and really turn him

into a complete pitcher. Right

now, he’s a fastball kid.”

Aversa said he respects

the “business decision”

Holubecki and his family de-

cided to make, and Holubecki

wished his Knights team-

mates well next season.

Despite IMG Academy’s

reputation as a baseball

grooming goliath, Holubecki

said it was “a hard decision,

for sure, to leave Kaneland,”

noting that he never has

been away from home before.

Still, he’s optimistic the

social transition won’t be too

unnerving.

“I think it’ll be all right,”

Holubecki said. “I don’t think

it’s going to be too tough to

make friends down there.Everyone’s an athlete thereat the school, so you havesomething in common.”

That will hold especiallytrue for Holubecki’s con-nection to Geneva’s NickDerr, a shortstop and FloridaState recruit who decided atthe start of the summer totransfer to IMG Academy.Derr also competes with theElite Baseball Training travelteam, and Holubecki said heand Derr already are corre-sponding about their inter-twined futures.

The 6-foot-4, 185-poundHolubecki said training willbegin as soon as he reports atIMG in late August. The acad-emy’s season will begin inFebruary, when snow figuresto still cover the ground backin Elburn.

“They’re going to get mephysically where I need to be… and then just developingpitches, adding more velocity– they do all of that,” Holu-becki said.

Holubecki, who will spendhis weekend pitching at atravel tournament in FortMyers, Florida, will have alittle less than a month to en-joy himself with friends andfamily, then it will be time tostart saying goodbye.

“Probably just spend timewith people I’ve spent thefirst 16 years of my life with,”he said. “But now it’s a newchapter, I guess.”

Wrestler Seth Winklewas part of a strongcrop of Batavia fresh-

men last season, with accom-plishments that included afifth-place finish at 120 poundsat the Upstate Eight Confer-ence meet. He has maintaineda busy mat schedule since,both through workouts fromBulldogs coach Scott Bayer aswell as his offseason club, theNaperville-based OvertimeSchool of Wrestling. Thisweek, Winkle is competingwith Team Illinois at thefamed Fargo (North Dako-ta) Nationals. Kane CountyChronicle sports reporterKevin Druley caught up onthe latest with Winkle in thisweek’s edition of the WeekendChit-chat. Here’s an editedtranscript of their conversa-tion:

How was the bus ride fromChampaign to Fargo?

It was a pretty packed bus,but I just slept on the floor.Got a couple hours sleep.Tried to get a little rest beforewe left, but I’m feeling good.

Has your weight classchanged since the high schoolseason?

I’m at 120, and my weight’sbeen pretty good. I’ve beenable to keep it down a prettydecent amount. I’m not cut-ting off any weight right now.Just kind of coasting rightnow.

You’re competing in thefreestyle portion this week. Haveyou always been a freestyle guy?

I’ve dabbled with Greco(-Ro-man), I guess, but I’m not a bigfan of it. It’s all upper-body andthat’s not really my strength.… The club I go to reallyenforces our top work, whichthese turns we learn on topreally give us an advantage infreestyle because they’re reallydifferent and not a lot of kidsknow how to defend them.

What was the lead-up toFargo like?

The experience has been

great so far. We had a four-,five-day day training camp toget ready for it, at [the Uni-versity of Illinois]. I’ve beentraining with the best kids inIllinois. It’s gotten me ready.It’s a great experience, and Ilook forward to doing it everyyear. ... This is the first yearI’ve been eligible (age) to beable to make the trip.

A handful of Marmion guysare part of the team. How welldo you know them?

A lot of them train with meout at Overtime, too. Yeah,I know some of the Marmi-on guys like (AJ) Jaffe and(Trace) Carello and all thoseguys. They’ve got a solidprogram, obviously, so I tryto train with them a lot whenI can.

Do you play any other sportsat or outside of Batavia?

I wrestle year-round.That’s all I do. I never reallyhave time for anything otherthan that. … Coach Bayerkeeps us in touch with thesport basically year-round.Even the kids that do dofall sports, he tries to workaround their schedule andtries to get us as much train-ing as possible in the offsea-son, and I’m really thankfulfor that.

I realize Fargo’s not New YorkCity, but do you guys have anynonwrestling activities planned?

There’s not much out herein North Dakota. There’s notmuch to do. We really don’thave much time, anyway.We’re wrestling all day.

Love slipping away; Cavs enticeWolvesBy JOE COWLEY

[email protected]

CHICAGO – Tom Thibodeau wasleaving for Las Vegas this weekend,as the Bulls coach is now gettingready to be an assistant for USA Bas-ketball for the next six-plus weeks.

Six weeks to possibly make surethat Derrick Rose’s knees won’t be-tray him, if the point guard evenmakes Team USA.

And maybe, just maybe, more thanenough time for Thibodeau to get overthe fact of finishing first runner-up inboth the Carmelo Anthony and KevinLove sweepstakes.

All those good feelings the Bullshad a few days ago in the wake ofupping the ante to Minnesota witha “significant offer” for the three-time All-Star have already started tosubside, as the Cleveland Cavalierscontinued to show signs of taking the

lead in teaming LeBron James andKyrie Irving with Love.

According to a Timberwolvessource Friday, the high ceiling ofCavs No. 1 overalldraft pick AndrewWiggins, as well as thelikes of 2013 No. 1 pickAnthony Bennett andfuture top draft picks,is becoming moretempting for coach/president of basket-ball operations FlipSaunders.

“It gives [Saunders] a chance tomold the team how he wants it,” thesource said.

It would also give Saunders a lon-ger rope to work with. Call it extrajob security.

The Sun-Times reported that theBulls offered Taj Gibson, Doug Mc-Dermott, “as well as a few other as-

sets” on Wednesday. According toSheridanhoops.com, Nikola Miroticwas also included in the package, butthat was still unconfirmed by sourc-es.

With Mirotic, McDermott and Wig-gins all signing their rookie dealswithin the last week, and NBA rulesnot allowing teams to trade newlysigned rookies for 30 days, Saundersobviously has time to make a deci-sion. But with Wiggins starting to in-trigue Minnesota more and more, aswell as the Cavs reportedly looking toget a third team involved in the dealto try and sweeten the pot, it’s just notlooking good for general manager GarForman and Thibodeau at this point.

It didn’t help that Anthony spokefor the first time since turning downthe Bulls, telling ESPN.com that, “Iwas flip-flopping. It was hard. It wasChicago, but then after I met withL.A., it was L.A. But it came back to

Chicago – and was pretty much al-ways Chicago or New York. That’s asituation where I could have walkedin now to an opportunity to competefor the next however many years.’’

Anthony would have left about $50million on the table if he would havepicked the Bulls, but again insisted, “Idon’t care about the money … I wantto win.”

Noah’s message: Joakim Noah wasin Chicago on Friday to unveil his“Chicago Stand Up” anti-violencecampaign, and told the reporters in at-tendance that his surgically repairedleft knee was completely healed, aswell as he was thrilled with the addi-tions the Bulls made this offseason.

Noah was front-and-center in therecruitment of Anthony and Pau Gas-ol the past month, and despite missingout on Anthony, was excited aboutthe idea of having an experienced bigman like Gasol to learn from.

BOURBONNAIS – At 9:52a.m. Friday, the Bears broke ahuddle and began team drills,11-on-11s, what the fans want tosee, and a giant roar came fromthe crowd. It signified the startof training camp and a 2014 sea-son with high expectations forcoach Marc Trestman’s team.

“It’s always great to havethe crowd. Obviously they’reexcited. You can feel their en-ergy certainly from the start,”Trestman said after practice at

Olivet Nazarene University.“I think it’s great for our teamto have our fans around us. Itmakes for a more fun and en-tertaining way to get our workdone.”

A few changes in the Bears’practice philosophy visiblein minicamp carried over toBourbonnais. Trestman hasmultiple team drills going on atonce in order to increase repsfor players, mainly those re-serves fighting for roster spots.

Fans also were treated tosome music during individualdrills, songs such as “Thun-

derstruck” and “Living on aPrayer.”

“I’ve talked a lot about thiswith guys around the league.I just wanted to bring some-thing to practice – just a lit-tle more energy to practice,”Trestman said. “Talking to theplayers about it, that we woulddo some work in individualwhen we can coach them closeup and still get our job doneand still get our job done, buthave a little fun as well withjust getting them going. Andit translates to games becausethere’s music before games.”

BOURBONNAIS – The fans

who stood four-deep behind a

rope Friday morning had been

chanting Jared Allen’s name

for more than a minute before

he finally made his way in that

direction.

At least one admirer wore a

Vikings jersey bearing Allen’s

familiar No. 69. Others had pur-

chased the newly minted Bears

versions, doing their best to

make the veteran defensive

end feel at home on his first

day of training camp with his

new team.

Minutes earlier, Allen had

joked that he had tried to do

his part to win some of his for-

mer fans over after hearing a

nearby crowd at Olivet Naza-

rene University chanting his

name. As he jogged by, tossinghis gloves into a cluster of au-tograph seekers and fans, thecheers only got louder.

It may have just been DayOne, but it was clear that theJared Allen Affect has startedto sink in.

“I just hope that everyonegenerally appreciates that I’mbringing more people,” Allenwise-cracked as a wide smileextended across his face. “I’mjust trying to get more seasontickets for the Chicago Bears.”

Allen was already a popularfixture with his teammates be-fore fans got their first look athim in a Bears uniform Fridaymorning. Part of an offseasondefensive line facelift after aforgettable 2013 season, Allensaid Friday that he can’t doanything about last year’s de-fensive struggles.

Allen is more concernedwith being part of a solution.But at 32, Allen stressed thatif the Bears do turn thingsaround up front his seasonafter struggling both to stopthe run and to pressure thequarterback, it won’t be sim-ply because he is now one ofthe faces of the unit charged

with drastic improvement.

“The identity of the unit is

the collective whole – it’s nev-

er one guy,” Allen said. “It’s

Lance (Briggs), Peanut (Till-

man), it’s that collective whole.

The identity is going to be how

fast we fly around, how hard we

hit, creating turnovers. That’sbeen the identity of the Bears’defense: stopping the run. Wegot away from that, but like Isaid, it’s a different year.

“[Turning things around]isn’t going to be one person. ...It’s going to be the energy ofeach individual and what theybring to the table.”

But make no mistake. Allenwill be part of that as evidencedduring Friday’s training campdebut when he displayed whatkind of leader he can be. Andalthough the defensive turn-around won’t solely be on Al-len’s shoulders, he will be keyto establishing what happensup front and how it translatesto the defense’s performance asa whole.

He didn’t waste any timeputting his intentions on dis-play.

“I thought Jared set thetone defensively with the guysup front right from the start ofpractice,” Coach Marc Trest-man said. “You watch the waythey’re moving, they move tothe ball. They really made aneffort to show the guys how todo it.

“[Allen] not only started

fast, but he finished strong.”Trestman characterized Al-

len as persistent and likeable.Linebacker Shea McClellinsaid Allen has been a welcomeaddition to the locker room,helping set an example forwhat kind of effort will be re-quired to establish the identityAllen spoke of.

But as good of a start as Fri-day was, Allen said he and histeammates still have a longway to go to get back to wherethey want to be.

“The real test is going tocome first, second, third pre-season game when we’re stillin camp mode – and can thoseyoung guys handle that grind?”Allen said. “Can you handle thefact you might get two reps andthose two reps have to be worthsomething?

“Like I said, we’ve got sometalented guys. When the padsget on we can judge moreharshly. But I try not to tendto put my stamp of approval ordisapproval on something un-til I’ve seen them in a game at-mosphere, see them go againstthe run, see if they can handlethe workload eventually withthe way the season is.”

Bears defensive end Jared Allenmade his presence felt Friday onthe first day of training camp inBourbonnais.

By ARTHUR [email protected]

BOURBONNAIS – All rook-ies are likely to remembertheir first practice in an NFLtraining camp. Few likely areto have fonder memories thancornerback Kyle Fuller.

The Bears’ first-round draftpick wasted no time makinghis presence felt in Bourbon-nais on Friday, making a su-perb interception on his firstplay in 11-on-11s. Fuller got alightning-quick break on Jor-dan Palmer’s quick pass, driv-ing in front of the receiver andsecuring the takeaway and firsthighlight of training camp.

“That definitely helps buildyour confidence up,” Fullersaid of the athletic intercep-tion. “But like I said, this is ahumbling game – you can’t getcomplacent – you have to con-tinue coming out here, work

hard and continue to try and

make plays.”

He would continue to make

plays, but not before being

served a piece of humble pie

by shifty speedster Chris Wil-

liams, who got Fuller to bite

on a double move before blow-

ing by the rookie and hauling

in Palmer’s perfectly placed

deep ball down the right side-line for a huge gain.

Fuller didn’t get a chance toagain return the favor to Palm-er, but he did help punctuate arough day for the other com-petitor in the backup quarter-back battle, Jimmy Clausen.

Matched up against Ter-rence Toliver at left corner-back, Fuller used his handsto get a good jam on the big-ger Toliver before ducking infront of Clausen’s pass in theflat to haul in his – and Clau-sen’s – second interception ofthe morning. It’s unlikely thepick would’ve been allowed ina game, as Fuller borderlineassaulted Toliver well past the5 yards in which contactingreceivers is permitted, but heachieved his goal – make asmany plays as possible.

“All the time – the mostI’ve ever heard,” said Fullerof the constant talk from the

coaching staff of creating take-aways. “So that helps me, be-cause if you don’t talk about it,it’s not going to happen.”

After practice, Fuller dis-cussed how the good plays andone glaring mistake are allpart of the learning process. “Iknew that [would likely be anillegal contact penalty] in myhead… you’ll learn from that,though,” Fuller said.

All in all, it’s hard to askfor a better debut from Full-er, who has been plugged intothe Bears’ nickel package asthe perimeter corner oppositeCharles Tillman from DayOne. The Bears have consis-tently raved about Fuller’ssize, instincts and playmakingability, all of which were onclear display to open camp.

“It was a good start for Kyle,”coach Marc Trestman said. “…He’s around the football. It wasa good start for him today.”

1431WEEKEND LIFE

Loving hands sift through living memoriesI’ll never lend my voice to those

clamoring for year-round school. Forso many reasons. Among them is thefact that summer is a great time forlearning. You know, about all of that“other” stuff we hope they’ll learn:how to rest, how to find and feel joy,and how to help.

Sure, they can get small dosesof these lessons throughout a yearchock-full of school and other activi-ties, but it’s just not the same. Whenyou have time to really absorb alesson, the learning includes a shift inperspective, I think, which can yieldperhaps the greatest lessons of all.Such has been the case for my kids,and me, this summer.

For example, last month, we got tohelp Grandma downsize a bit duringour visit back east. Noah and Hollyare at that glorious age where theycan really be counted on to pitch in,and with real muscle and commonsense, too. So, among other jobs she’dnot looked forward to, they helpedher to clean out her garage. Thatexpression “many hands make lightwork” couldn’t be truer than whenyou’re helping someone to move onfrom a beloved home of more thanthree decades. When Holly swept outthe last of the dust it occurred to methat it’s not just the “stuff” that getssorted, culled or moved (and therewasn’t that much “stuff,” to be honest,

as Mom isn’t much of a packrat). Oth-er “stuff”gets sifted, too, memories,among them. Many hands sure dohelp, at times like these. And you getto make new memories in the process.Good stuff.

Holly pitched in, again, as sheand I helped one of my best friend’ssisters prepare her home for an estatesale (my friend died, a while back),happening this weekend. This jobwas right up Holly’s alley, as she’s agarage-sale machine, this kid (havinghelped with ours), so I knew she’d bea huge help. She kept me on task, infact, if I’m honest, as I spent most ofmy time wading through 20 years ofmy friend’s various teaching mate-rials and sorting her many books(my friend was a reading specialist,children’s author and critique buddyof mine).

I nearly fell into a rabbit hole ortwo, whenever I stumbled over myfriend’s notes on her picture books inprogress, but Holly kept me on taskwith her special brand of good humorand at least one near-wrestling match.

Good times.She and Noah got a good dose of

perspective at home, this summer, aswell.

During some work in our bathroom(our leaky-tub saga finally ended!)we lived without our only shower fora week and a half, so we had to trekback and forth to the gym for showers(may as well work out while you’rethere, so we did that, too) while ourchronically-leaky tub and tile were de-molished and replaced. Having to goan extra mile to get a shower is hardlycomparable to life on the streets, butthe inconvenience taught us all a goodlesson. We still had someplace to go,but what if we didn’t, we wondered?So many don’t.

As for the work itself, Noah andhis buddy Charlie began the processby demolishing the old tile. Ham-mers, gloves and safety glasses on-board, they made an awesome dent inthe job, which Todd finished, whichsaved us from paying someone elseto do that part of the job. Nice work,boys! (That was a workout, in and ofitself. I bailed pretty quickly, aftera few swings of the hammer, as myswing just didn’t do the trick.)

And then we painted the fence.Finally. Part of it was rebuilt last fallfollowing a car accident that resultedin a van crashing into it, so we had topaint the whole thing.

“Why do I have to do this?” Oneof my offspring groaned, the day webegan.

“It’s what you do, when you havethe luxury of having a home. Youtake care of it. If you’re able, youpitch in,” I said. “Be glad you’reable.”

Todd did a lion’s share of the work,but by the third day, when I toiledover the front gate – after scrapingevery last bit of loose paint and wipedit down and painted most of thesurfaces – when the sun was high inthe sky and the humid, 90-degree-plusheat threatened to wipe me out, Iimpulsively took a little break andcollapsed in a giddy, sweaty heap onmy front lawn while everyone elsewas out back, painting the gate to ourdriveway.

Feeling guilty – and more thana little worried that my neighborswould think I’d had a heart attackand call 911 – I stretched out with mypaintbrush, still loaded with paint,and did what I could. It’s not pretty,but it’s done.

Next week? Who knows, but Ithink I’m putting my feet up. Butfirst, a bath in my new tub.

Must-have plants for the cottage gardenCharacterized by its infor-

mality, a cottage garden oftencombines flowers, herbs andedibles together in beds thatoverflow with an abundance offragrant blooms in soft pastelshades.

Pebbled paths meander andwind their way through andaround, and sometimes evenunder, shrubs and floweringtrees, perennials and trailingvines. Gates and arbors makeeye-catching focal points, andprovide additional surface areafor roses, perhaps the mainstayof the cottage garden, and otherflowering climbers to ramble upand over.

Here in the Midwest, black-eyed Susans, purple coneflow-ers, daisies and daylilies thrive.They’re reliable growers with along bloom season, and they fit

beautifully in a cottage gardensetting. Hydrangeas, peonies,cosmos, pansies and clematisall serve to enhance the motif,as well. In addition to these,there are just a few key plantsthat no self-respecting cottagegardener should be without.

• Hollyhocks.Among the mostquintessential of the cottagegarden ornamentals, holly-hocks are sweet and friendlyand they add the perfect note ofwhimsy to the landscape. Theirtall spires billow over the restof the garden – they can reach aheight of 8 feet – and are avail-able in an array of colors that

look lovely when grown along afence or against the side of thehouse. Sun-loving and easilygrown from seeds, hollyhocksare biennial, which means theygrow foliage the first summer,flower the second, and die inthe fall. Fortunately, they areaggressive re-seeders, so onceestablished they will provideyou with continuous bloomsyear after year.

• Delphinium. If hollyhocksare the charming and prettyparty host, waving softly onthe breeze, holding court atthe punch bowl and beckoningpassersby to drop in, then del-phiniums seem just a bit morereserved, and are often to befound standing demure and shyat the edge of the crowd.

• Foxglove.Another biennial, fox-glove is a standard in the cottage gar-den. Producing tall spires covered inspeckled tubular shaped flowers abovea mound of basal leaves, foxgloves re-semble something found in a fairytale,and they’ll happily turn a shady cornerof the backyard into the proverbialenchanted woodland.

They can be grown in a variety ofcolors including pinks and purples,yellow, white, and red, and are lowmaintenance re-seeders that multiplyquickly. Plant foxglove in spring orfall, or sow from seeds in early sum-mer.

• Climbing Rose.What would a cottagegarden be without a climbing rose?Whether trained along a fence, overan arbor, or even up and around thedoorway, climbing roses perfectlyrepresent the balance between artful

design and unpredictability that setsthe mood in this garden. And they’reshowstoppers, too.

There are a number of varietiesthat perform well in the Midwest, in-cluding the Canadian Explorer series,a group of extremely hardy roses (toZone 3 or 4), with names like WilliamBaffin, Alexander Mackenzie and JohnCabot. Once established in the garden,these roses will need to be pruned andtrained to climb a structure. Plant ros-es in full sun in the spring or early fall.

Now, even if you don’t live undera thatched roof at the end of a cobbledlane, or are, sadly, still without thewhite picket fence, a romantic and fan-ciful cottage garden is easy to create byincorporating some of these time-hon-ored selections into the landscape.

Take things a step further by add-ing an eclectic mix of vintage furni-ture, a couple of well-placed birdbathsor feeders, and maybe a croquet setor a pie cooling on a windowsill. Justkeep an eye out for witches with shinyred apples.

34 DAILY DISH

In ‘Magic,’WoodyAllen’s quirks shine throughBy STEPHANIE MERRYThe Washington Post

Emma Stone and Colin Firth bringan amusing vitality to a movie, especial-ly when they’re engaged in quick-wit-ted sparring. So watching them try tooutmaneuver each other in “Magic inthe Moonlight” – Woody Allen’s latestperiod romantic comedy – is delightful.

Firth once again plays a charmingtwerp. He’s positively Darcy-esque asthe confoundingly appealing Stanley, anabrasive Brit who most people know asWei Ling Soo. The renowned magiciancan make an elephant disappear andobscure his true identity under loadsof eye makeup, a kimono and a faux FuManchu mustache. Offensive? Yes, butkeep in mind that the year is 1928.

After a performance in Berlin, Stan-ley is visited by an old friend, Howard(Simon McBurney), who needs a favor.Howard is friends with a wealthy familyliving in the South of France, and itappears the matriarch is being swin-dled by a con artist who claims to be aspiritual medium. But Howard – also amagician – can’t figure out how she’slevitating candles and unloading triviaabout the family that no one else knows.

Stanley, who fancies himself thegreatest of debunkers, can hardlycontain his excitement as he sets off for

France to expose Kalamazoo native So-phie Baker (Stone) and her stage mother(Marcia Gay Harden). The only problemis that Sophie is so darn adorable, withher winning smile and upbeat attitude,that no one wants to doubt her. The heirto the family’s fortune, Brice (HamishLinklater), even wants to marry her,and he lets her know by constantly,painfully serenading her with hisukulele.

Watching the unruffled Sophie sparwith Stanley is great fun. He doesn’tbelieve in God, much less a spirit world,and he has no intention of sugarcoatinghis feelings. But he also can’t hide hissurprise at how much Sophie knowsabout him and his family. Could she bethe real thing?

The biggest problem with “Magic inthe Moonlight” is its origins. If it weremade by any other director, it wouldbe heralded as a first-rate romanticcomedy. But anyone who has seen acouple Woody Allen films will recognizeaspects of his other movies, from the de-pressive protagonist and the mysticism,to the European vacation setting andthe existentialism. Let’s hope the auteuris as good at recycling his plastic bottlesas he is at reusing plot points.

The most blatant of the revisitedmotifs is the May-December romance.There’s a nearly 30-year age difference

between Firth and Stone, and whileboth characters are alluring in theirown ways, the discrepancy can provedistracting. Granted, the gap isn’t asegregious as in some of Allen’s othermovies (four decades separate LarryDavid and Evan Rachel Wood, stars of“Whatever Works”), but let’s just saythat Firth seems like a guy who looksgood for his age – until he’s next to awoman so impeccably youthful, she’sthe face of Revlon. That Sophie appearsto be more taken with Stanley than heis with her practically begs for an eyeroll.

If you can overcome that obstacle,“Magic” has many pleasures: gooddialogue, a jazzy score, an elementof mystery and an idyllic, summerysetting. It’s also beautifully shot usingwhat appears to be a lot of natural light.You can practically feel the heat of thesun emanating from the screen.

It may not be wholly original orwithout its flaws, but “Magic in theMoonlight” offers a pleasant vacationfrom reality. And what more could youwant from a summer movie?

• “Magic in the Moonlight” receivedtwo-and-a-half stars out of four stars.The film is rated PG-13 and contains abrief suggestive comment and smokingthroughout. It runs 98 minutes.

Dear Doctor K: I travel regu-larly for work, so I have to eatout a lot. Could you give mesome strategies to make restau-rant meals healthier?

Dear Reader: Eating out canruin even the healthiest diets.That’s because restaurants– and not just fast-food joints –tend to overdo the butter, sugarand salt. I spoke to registereddietitian Kathy McManus,director of the Department ofNutrition for Harvard-affiliatedBrigham and Women’s Hospi-tal. She assured me that you canenjoy a meal (or several) on theroad if you follow a few handytips:

• Watch the portions.Restaurant entrees tend to belarge enough to feed at least twopeople. When my wife and I goto a restaurant, we use one oftwo strategies:

Strategy No. 1: We jointlychoose the entree and split it.Usually we split an appetizer,too.

Strategy No. 2: If strategy No.1 threatens marital harmony,we each choose our own entreeand ask the wait staff to wrapup half of it to take home. I alsoemploy strategy No. 2 when I’m

eating out alone.• Hold the butter and salt.

Many menu items contain hid-den butter and salt. Ask yourserver how a meal is preparedbefore you order. If somethingis typically prepared in but-ter, ask for it to be steamed orbroiled without added butter,or sauteed in olive oil instead.Likewise, ask that the chef goeasy on added salt.

• Don’t be shy about askingfor substitutions. The restau-rant staff will likely be usedto switching out white ricefor brown and white pasta forwhole-wheat pasta. Request asmall salad or green vegetableinstead of onion rings, or blackbeans instead of French fries.

• Ask your waiter for sauceto be served on the side. Insteadof drizzling the sauce on yourmeal, dip your fork into thesauce first, and then place yourfork and its few drops of sauceonto a bite of food. That wayyou’ll get to experience the taste

without overdoing it. The samething works for salad dressing.

• Plan ahead. Look at therestaurant’s menu online, orcall ahead and ask questions.Decide what you’re going toorder ahead of time. That way,you won’t look at the menu andbe tempted to order a more in-dulgent entree when you arrive.Sound silly? It works.

• Eat slowly. Why? The dailyrecommended calorie intakefor men and women is 2,700 and2,100 calories, respectively. It’snot unusual for a restaurantentree to have more than 3,000calories. A meal doesn’t start toreduce our appetite for 15 to 20minutes. It is easy, particularlywhen you’re hungry, to down anentire meal in 15 to 20 minutes.It will be finished before youfeel full. So eat slowly, stop eat-ing when you start to feel full,and ask the wait staff to packup what’s left. And now youhave another dinner to enjoy athome.

Dr.Wallace:Ashley

and I had been seeing

each other for over six

months, when she met

another guy and decided

that she wanted to break

up with me to go out

with this other guy. She

started to get serious

with him after we broke

off our relationship.

About two weeks ago,

I saw Ashley at a party

and she came over to me,

and since her boyfriend

wasn’t there, we had a

long talk and she told me

that she really still loved

me. She said she wanted

us to get back together

again, and I told her I

thought it was a great

idea. She said she would

break up with her boy-

friend the next day and

that she would contact

me then. We kissed and

it was just like old times

when we were going out

together.

After a week passed

and she didn’t contact

me, I called her. I asked

when we were getting

back together and she

said that she’d like to

see me, but that she

hasn’t been able to get

the courage to dump her

boyfriend just yet.

What do you suggest

I should do? I would do

almost anything to get

Ashley back. – Confused,Kansas City, Mo.

Dear Confused:Contact

Ashley occasionally to

find out if she’s unat-

tached, but don’t go out

with her until she is.

I wonder why she’s

finding it so difficult

to break up with her

current boyfriend. She

didn’t seem to have this

problem when she said

goodbye to you.

Dr.Wallace:This sum-

mer I met Mitch when I

was visiting my grand-

mother in Chicago. We

dated several times and

I had a great time, and I

think he did also. When

it was time for me to

return home, we agreed

to stay in touch with one

another by email. I have

emailed him at least once

every week since I got

home, and he has only

answered me once. I sent

him a gift for his birth-

day, but so far I have

received no response,

so I’m wondering if he

received it.

Last night I called

him and asked him if he

had received my gift, and

he said that he had, but

that his girlfriend wasn’t

happy that he was receiv-

ing gifts from a “strange”

girl. This made me furi-

ous. I also told him that

I considered him to be a

rat for not telling me that

he had a girlfriend.

I’ll never know if he

had this girlfriend when

he was dating me. Was I

wrong in asking for my

gift to be returned? It cost

me over $60 of my hard-

earned money. – Name-less, Newport, R.I.

Dear Nameless: I can’t

tell you the number of

times summer romances

have faded away once

summer ends and reality

replaces fantasy. I agree

that you should have

been informed that a

“girlfriend” had entered

the picture.

It took a little spunk

to ask this guy to return

the birthday gift you sent

him, but I also agree that

you were right in asking

him to return it. After all,

you wouldn’t have sent it

if you were aware that he

had a girlfriend.

Dear Abby: I am an 18-year-oldhigh school senior who is scaredabout what’s going to happenafter graduation. For the pastthree years I have known exact-ly where I’ll be and what I willbe doing in the general sense.

Now that I have one moreyear to go, I’m worried that Iwon’t know what to do or how todo it when I graduate.

I have talked to counselorsand my dad, but they all say thesame thing.

Do you have any advice? –Uneasy In Idaho

Dear Uneasy: Sit down some-place quiet and make a list ofwhat your interests and talentsare. If necessary, next year visitthe career counseling depart-ment of your nearest communitycollege or university and takesome aptitude tests.

This will give you an idea ofwhat direction you may wantto take in deciding what youshould do next.

Unlike in generations past,people today sometimes changecareers several times in theirworking lives, so don’t be afraidthat you’ll be stuck in some un-pleasant rut forever. The moreyou learn and the more peopleyou meet, the greater your op-tions will be, so stop worrying.

Dear Abby: In 1972 when I was12, my father found out that Iwas gay, although that wasn’tthe word he used.

After a severe beating thatlanded me in the hospital, Irealized that to survive I wasgoing to have to live “straight.”Eventually I married, and foralmost 25 years I was relativelyhappy.

My wife died of cancer fiveyears ago, and now I need to

move on.Can someone my age enter

gay society? One thing I havenoticed is that it can be moredifficult for older gay men thanstraight.

Any suggestions or should Ijust continue living the lie? – AtA Crossroads In Minnesota

Dear At A Crossroads: Thegay community may be biasedtoward youth, but that doesn’tmean it is impossible to be apart of it. You have “served yourtime” hiding in the straightworld.

Contact the nearest gay andlesbian center (lgbtcenters.org)and talk to someone there aboutyour chances of successfullyintegrating.

I’m sure you will be pleas-antly surprised because mostcenters have programs for LGBTpeople of all ages.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Albert Einstein said, “A theo-ry can be proved by experiment;but no path leads from experi-ment to the birth of a theory.”

At the bridge table, leads arevery important. And not only doyou have to lead the right suit,but you must also be carefulwhich card you select.

In this deal, South is in fourhearts. West leads the diamondeight. How should East plan thedefense?

North’s two-no-trump re-sponse was the Jacoby ForcingRaise, guaranteeing at leastfour-card heart support andgame-forcing values. South rebidfour hearts to show a minimumopening bid and no singleton orvoid.

West led a diamond becausethat suit was stronger than hisclubs.

East knew that his partner’slead was top of nothing. And itcouldn’t be a singleton, becausethat would have given Southfive diamonds and a singletonor void, which he had denied inthe auction. Also, now dummyhad diamond winners on whichSouth could discard losers.

East realized that his side hadto take, in order, one diamond,one spade and two clubs. But howto get West to win his spade trickand shift to a club?

At trick two, East carefullyled the spade nine, the high cardin principle denying an honorin the suit. West got the messageand defeated the contract.

If East had led the spade two,West would have probably putin a lower spade to force outdummy’s king, or won with hisace and returned the suit.

Remember, a low lead fromlength expresses an interest intrying to win tricks in that suit.

Your lead leadspartner correctly
