IN FOCUSA weekly feature by Sandy Bressner, photo editor at the Kane County Chronicle

As the 12th anniversary ofthe 9/11 attacks came uponus this week, social media

andmy own friends and familyhave reminisced on “where wereyou” when the tragedy hit.I was just leaving for work in

Lake County frommy apartmentin the Roscoe Village neighbor-hood of Chicagowhen –whilewatching themorning news – Isaw a skyscraper on fire. I had noidea of the gravity as I grabbed

my keys and headed out the door.Duringmy hourlong commute, Ilistened to talk radio as every-thing unfolded.My cousin’s wife was eight

months pregnant andworkingat the Pentagon. I rememberstruggling with cellphone serviceto get a hold of mymom andmy sister, who also lives in theWashington, D.C. area.It was early evening before we

heard for certain that shewas

all right, that she had leaned ontwo coworkers on either side ofher tomake up for her not havinggreat balance as they exited thebuilding. A fewweeks later, theygave their son themiddle nameKip, after Lt. Col. Kip P. Taylor,who died that day.Each year since, I have photo-

graphedmemorials and remem-brance ceremonies. And eachyear, I attempt to convey theemotion, patriotism and compas-

sion people feel, andwill alwaysfeel about 9/11.Pictured – Lilly Hansen, 3,

daughter of Elburn and Country-side Fire Protection District Lt.Matt Hansen, looking on duringa remembrance ceremony com-memorating the 12th anniversaryof the 9/11 attacks. The eventtook place at the Elburn home ofPaulWdowicki onWednesdaymorning.

Business owners celebratetraffic easing onRoute 64

By ASHLEY [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – JeanineF i t z m a u r i c e , o w n e r o fCurves along East MainStreet in St. Charles, stoodin the parking lot of FoxboroPlaza on Thursday afternoonfeeling “very optimistic.”

She – along with manyothers, including St. CharlesCity Council members andcity staff – gathered at theshopping center to celebratethe end of construction onRoute 64 between SeventhAvenue and Kirk Road.

Route 64 is known as MainStreet in St. Charles.

The Illinois Departmentof Transportation began areconstruction and widen-ing project on Route 64 be-tween Seventh Avenue in St.Charles to Route 59 in WestChicago in April 2012.

During construction, traf-fic on East Main Street wasbumper-to-bumper – conges-

tion Curves members active-ly avoided, Fitzmaurice said.

“It affected us by the sensethat women weren’t comingto work out,” said Fitzmau-rice, noting the fitness cen-ter’s business was down byabout 30 percent.

All lanes on Route 64 be-tween Seventh Avenue andKirk Road opened to trafficlate last month – a milestonebusinesses and communityleaders are trying to pro-mote.

St. Charles Toyota ownerMichael Alf said he hopedthe ribbon-cutting ceremonywould help spread the mes-sage.

“That’s why we’re here asbusiness owners,” he said.

The construction on EastMain Street briefly closedhis car dealership’s pre-owned facility, which openedduring construction, he said.But sales weren’t the only as-pect affected by the work.

“It affected [business] dra-

matically, especially on theservice side,” said Alf, not-ing that for some customersa 20-minute trip turned intoan hour.

Now, Alf said, the chal-lenge is getting the wordout that Route 64 is easier totravel on than ever.

St. Charles City Admin-istrator Mark Koenen madesimilar statements beforecutting the ceremonial rib-bon.

“Our businesses are readyand open,” he said.

As a way to encouragewomen to return to Curves,Fitzmaurice said those whojoin now will receive theirfirst month free.

Four people have joinedin the past three days, shesaid.

“I’m feeling very optimis-tic,” she said.

Construction on Route 64between 38th Avenue in St.Charles to Route 59 is expect-ed to be finished by Oct. 1.

Ashley Sloboda – [email protected]

St. Charles City Administrator Mark Koenen prepares to cut the ribbon Thursday during a ceremony cele-brating the end of construction along a portion of Route 64 in St. Charles. Among those joining him are St.Charles Chamber of Commerce President Stacey Ekstrom (far left), as well as city leaders, including MayorRay Rogina (fourth from left).

ST. CHARLES – Althoughit’s only September, 6-year-old Angelina Rivera of Gene-va has Christmas gifts on hermind. But instead of receivingthem, she wants to give themto children who needs themmore than she does.

With the help of her mom,Liz Rivera, Angelina plansto host a car wash Saturdayin front of TitleMax at 2015W. Main St., St. Charles, toraise money to buy Christmaspresents for families servedby Mutual Ground, an Auro-ra-based organization thatprovides services for victimsof domestic violence and sex-ual assault.

Rivera said her daughtercame up with the idea twoyears ago, but she wanted towait until her daughter wasa little bit older to start doingfundraisers. She said Angeli-na got the idea after watchingan episode of “Full House”and has been asking about itever since.

“This year, she’s been ask-ing the entire year, and shethought of the idea of givingher Santa gift away,” Rivera

said.“I wanted to give some of

my toys away [to others] thatneed it,” Angelina said.

Rivera said several peo-ple from Angelina’s hapkidoclass volunteer with MutualGround, so they decided toreach out to them for the fund-raiser. She said she hopes thecar wash is the first of sev-eral fundraisers for MutualGround families. Other fund-raisers might include candysales, Rivera said.

Angelina said she hopes toraise “a whole lot” of moneySaturday to buy presents foras many children as possible.Rivera said they’re asking fora $5 donation for car washes,or whatever people are able togive.

“I wanted [the fundraiser]to help other kids,” Angelinasaid.

Pumpkins for a CureFestival

By JONATHAN [email protected]

The U.S. House EthicsCommittee has said it willtake more time to look intowhether one of the men whorepresents the Tri-Cities inCongress may have improp-erly accepted a trip to Tai-wan.

The committee announcedWednesday it would take anadditional 45 days to reviewthe trip taken in October 2011by U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam,R-Wheaton, and his wife.

Roskam represents Il-linois’ 6th CongressionalDistrict in the U.S. House ofRepresentatives. That dis-

trict includes portions of St.Charles, Campton Hills andSouth Elgin.

Roskam currently servesa s t h e c h i e fdeputy whip,making him thef o u r t h - h i g h -e s t - r a n k i n gmember of theHouse’s Repub-lican majority.

In July, theOffice of Con-gressional Ethics, an inde-pendent nonpartisan groupthat investigates allegationsof unethical behavior bymembers of Congress, askedthe House Ethics Committeeto review Roskam’s trip.

The OCE report firstwas released by Roskam’s of-fice.

Within the report, the OCEindicated it believes “there issubstantial reason to believethat Representative Roskamaccepted payment of travelexpenses for an officially con-nected trip to Taiwan from animpermissible source, result-ing in an impermissible gift.”

Legal authority in the mat-ter rests with the House Eth-ics Committee.

The OCE report indicatesthat, while documents filedby Roskam indicated thatthe trip was sponsored by theChinese Cultural Universityin Taiwan, the OCE believes

the trip may have been or-ganized by the governmentof Taiwan, “with little to noinvolvement by the universi-ty.”

The report indicates thatthe Taiwanese governmentattempted to first organizethe trip under a federal lawthat permits a “cultural ex-change.”

However, the law does notallow the foreign governmentto pay for lawmakers’ familymembers.

Since Roskam wished totake his wife, the $25,000 tripwas organized under differ-ent auspices.

Roskam has maintainedthat he “fully complied with

all laws, rules and proce-dures related to privatelysponsored travel.”

Roskam spokeswomanStephanie Kittredge reiter-ated Thursday that the Tai-wan trip was approved bythe House Ethics Committee,and that the law does not barinteraction between foreigngovernments and lawmakerswhen traveling.

“There is no informationin that [OCE] report that theHouse Ethics Committee didnot know when it approvedthe trip,” Kittredge said.

Kittredge said Roskamhopes to resolve the matterwith the Ethics Committeewithin the next 45 days.

Friends of James Burge,a 1988 Geneva High Schoolgraduate who was beaten lastmonth near Rockford, haveorganized a fundraising golfouting to help his family withexpenses.

Burge, 44, suffered braindamage after a beating Aug. 10outside of his house, said hissister, April Dodd, of Texas.

Burge is home, recoveringslowly with the assistanceof his wife, Julie Burge, whopreviously worked as a nurse,Dodd said in an email. Hiswife is running the front lines

of his care, with occupation-al, speech and physical thera-pists.

“He is walking slowly, andwith help, speaking in slurredand mumbled words and isable to feedhimself withlittle help now,”Dodd said. “Hecan walk mostlyby himself. Ju-lie walks closeby behind him,but he wants todo this by himself.”

The benefit is called Tee‘em Up for Slim – Burge’snickname in high school – at10 a.m. Sept. 28 at Silver Ridge

Golf Course, 3069 N. Hill Road,Oregon.

Oregon is about an hourwest of the Tri-Cities area. Thecost is $75 a golfer, which in-cludes 18 holes with cart andmeal.

Participants should regis-ter by Sept. 20. The golf outingwas organized by Todd Olson,a 1982 Geneva graduate nowliving in St. Louis, and GinnyMiller of Geneva, whose young-er son graduated with Burge.

Olson said he hopes morepeople will register for the golfouting.

“We have the golf coursereserved for 72 people, and wehave probably 15 people regis-

tered,” Olson said. “We’re hop-ing for at least 40 people. Jim isjust a nice guy – the kind of guyyou’d like to have for a neigh-bor. I wanted to do this to helpthem out.”

Dodd said they are using so-cial media to reach out to oth-ers who knew the family withsome success.

“Even my old science teach-er from Coultrap donated,Chris Sines,” Dodd said. “Ihad not heard her name sincemiddle school. And the wifeof the old principal from the1970s and 1980s contacted us aswell.”

Sines, who is now retired,said Burge was not her stu-

dent, but Burge’s sister was.“I felt I had to donate,” Sines

said. “I hope they find who didthis.”

Winnebago County ChiefDeputy Dominic Iasparro saidthe beating that left Burge ina coma still is an open inves-tigation.

“We are following up on alot of leads, but nothing thathas led to an arrest,” Iasparrosaid.

Anyone with information isasked to call Crime Stoppers at888-769-7867.

Donations may be made on-line by following the promptson Dodd’s website, www.april-dodd.com.

G E N E V A T O W N S H I P– Before Mark Wissing leftoffice as the Geneva Town-ship Road Commissioner onMay 19, he signed a contractto have a half-mile of OldKirk Road resurfaced and ahalf-dozen driveway apronsrepaved with asphalt.

The new road commission-er, Michael Abts, took officeMay 20. By the end of May,he had canceled the contract,leaving residents of the area– such as Brian Maher wholives on East Lane just off Old

Kirk Road – wondering why.Earlier in the year, the ar-

ea’s 40-year-old culverts werereplaced. The work involvedtaking out the residents’driveway aprons and replac-ing them with crushed stone.Maher said he understood thestone had to settle before theasphalt could be put down in atwo-part project.

Abts said he canceledthe contract, which was for$81,040, because it was one-third of his budget for thewhole year.

“Due to my budget con-cerns, I went out and inspect-ed Old Kirk road myself,” Abts

said. “And in my mind, it didnot look that bad.”

To check himself, Abtshad Kane County Departmentof Transportation construc-tion chief Dave Boesch comeout and look at the road aswell.

“I wanted his opinion,”Abts said. “He said it did not

need to be resurfaced, not forthe amount of traffic on it. Idid not want to spend $81,000of taxpayers’ money when Ihave an engineer who says itcan wait. I made the decision.I will take credit for the goodor bad of it.”

Boesch confirmed that hechecked Old Kirk Road and

that it could go a few moreyears before it needs resurfac-ing.

Abts said he saw a few ar-eas in which the edges of theroad are going, so he decidedto address those and the drive-way aprons next spring.

Maher said he is satisfiedwith Abts’ explanation and iswilling to wait for the work tobe done next year.

A wonderful communityTo the Editor:

As I leave the position of city administrator,

I expressmy gratitude to themembers of the

St. Charles community for the opportunity to

work with, and for, them. I have been fortunate

tomeetmany great people duringmy time

here – residents, businesspeople, community

volunteers, elected officials, city employees and

employees of intergovernmental partners.

Since 2005, a great deal has been accom-plished to enhance the reputation of St.

Charles as a community that is admired and an

organization that is respected. I am proud that

together we could enhance core services, ad-vance the city’s economic standing, modernize

infrastructure, enrich relationships and improve

resident satisfaction.

The number of respondents to a community

surveywho rate St. Charles as “excellent”

increased to 57 percent, the highest percentage

ever achieved.

The city weathered the Great Recession

without significant impact on quality of service

delivery andwith no employee layoffs.

City infrastructure was improved, including

a new parking structure, new fire station,

remodeled public works facility, newwater

treatment facility, newwastewater treatment

facility, electric system upgrades that enhanced

reliability and the new Red Gate Bridge over the

Fox River.

And, St. Charles was named the No. 1 City for

Families by Family Circle magazine.

St. Charles is a wonderful community, and I

leavewithmany fondmemories. St. Charles

is also a community with significant untapped

potential. I hope that current and future city

leaders will work tirelessly to capitalize on the

community’s strengths – a beautiful Fox River

location; an attractive downtown; diverse hous-ing choices; spectacular local government ser-vices provided by the city, school district, park

district and library; and dedicated volunteers.

I also hope that all communitymembers will

do whatever they can to ensure St. Charles

remains forever the Pride of the Fox.

Brian A. Townsend

Outgoing St. Charles city administrator

OPINIONSLETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Academic angling proves best of sports to coachFor 34 years, I’ve been

a coach-less high schoolteacher.

No sweat-stained arm-less sweatshirts to soak inLestoil, no laryngitis the firstweek of practice.

Until now – meaning I canjoin the coaches’ table.

“How’d practice go, Rick?”“Tough,” I grimace. “Got

to the lake at 6:15, sun justcomin’ up, cool enough fora windbreaker. By 6:30, kidshad spinners, jigs and RattleTraps ripplin’ the surface.Told ’em to correct for theslight cross breeze. By 7,some anglers donned sun-glasses. Rocky banks de-manded sure footing. By 7:45,temps reached a sweltering72 degrees.”

“Glad I coach football.”“Mental game’s the

hardest to tackle – no punintended,” I chortle. “Get

a young’un casting for a4-pound bass, landing insteada 7-inch sunny or 5-foot weed,I tell ’em, ‘You’ll improve.Our fishing team’s seniorcaptains, when freshmen,couldn’t hook the broad sideof a lily pad. Now they’relandin’ IHSA weight-worthylargemouth bass.’ ”

Actually, I come to coach-ing with little to offer besidesmy lifelong love of fishing.Sure, I can tie a fisherman’sknot and know the differencebetween Rooster Tail andMepps spinners. But whenJoe Large, Marmion Acad-emy’s head fishing coach,reels off (pun intended) fac-tors studied before going out,I’m humbled.

“I always check theweather forecast, baromet-ric pressure, moon phase,wind directions and seasonalpatterns so I can decide on

location, depth, lure selectionand technique.”

No matter how skilled,no angler escapes literal andmetaphorical tangled lines– but they make the beststories.

“During one tournament,”Joe reminisced, “I embeddedthe trailer hook of a spinnerbait deep in the back of myhead. After shaking off thefeeling that someone hit mewith a sledge hammer andtaking a few Advil, I managedto finish the last six hours ofthe tournament before head-ing to the emergency room.Needless to say, I don’t usetrailer hooks anymore.”

A fisher’s best moments

replay like a film loop.Co-captain David McCauleyremembered a tournamentwhen fishing “against a goodteam, but we bonded withthem, talked about what theyliked to use or do when fish-ing. We all learned some andcaught some.”

Team members’ fathersand friends also help coach.When Dave Dvorak speaksabout fishing, you mightthink the sport as much spiri-tual as piscatorial.

“My uncle Steve died notlong after graduating highschool. Wish we had moretime on the water. WhenSteve died, part of my fatherdied also. He never fishedagain. It wouldn’t have beenthe same without his bestfriend fishing alongsidehim.”

No true angler goes outjust to snag fish. They go for

something that surely differsfor each person, but provesequally rewarding for all.

As co-captain Matt Zadoro-zny put it: “I go on the waterplenty of times and don’tcatch anything. But fishingwith friends and the team,you get away from dailystresses and just enjoy life.”

So, even when you lose,you win. Sounds like a goodway to catch life.

Since the Upstate EightConference Rivercame to be in 2010,

there has yet to be a footballseason in which Batavia,Geneva, St. Charles Eastand St. Charles North qual-ified for the playoffs in thesame year.

All four programs madethe playoffs in four of thefive seasons before that,begging the question – howrealistic is it for shared,Tri-Cities prosperity in theUEC River era?

As the conference seasonopens tonight with theBatavia-Geneva and St.Charles East-St. CharlesNorth rivalry showdowns,this season could serveas a revealing test caseconsidering all four teamshave showed signs of beingplayoff-caliber during thenonconference slate.

“I love that about theTri-Cities,” St. CharlesEast coach Mike Fields saidabout the strength of localprograms. “It’s been likethat, with the success wehad at Geneva when [Fieldswas an assistant there],with Batavia going downto the state championshipgame [under Mike Gaspari].St. Charles since the split,my first year, [former coachMark Gould] took Northdown to the [state quarterfi-nals]. So there’s some goodfootball around here, and itshows.

“It’s nice to see that, andI hope that really works it-self out where we can all getinto the playoffs this year.”

That’s proven a trickytask lately, as only two ofthe four schools have madethe playoffs each of the UECRiver’s first three seasons.How much of that has to dowith the Tri-Cities pro-grams beating up on eachother now that they sharea conference, as opposed tocyclical downturns in talentthat have hit the St. Charlesschools and Geneva at cer-tain points in recent yearsis up for debate.

A little bit of both mighthave been at play last

season as the Vikings finish4-5, missing the playoffs forthe first time since 2003.Geneva went 0-for-the-Tri-Cities, losing to Batavia,East and North.

Geneva coach RobWicinski acknowledged thepain of missing the playoffswas sharpened by localrivals dealing mortal blowsto the Vikings’ season.

“It stings because youknow these guys,” Wicinskisaid. “They grew up playingwith them, so definitelyit’s more personal connec-tions, and you have families[involved], even brothers,cousins. We’re all made outof the same cloth in the [FoxValley]. We’re all the samepeople.

“It cracks me up whenpeople say ‘Oh, those Bata-via people,’ or ‘Oh, those St.Charles people.’ … It’s all

the same people. So yeah, itstung. It stings more thangetting beat by a Lake Zu-rich or an East St. Louis.”

While East is the only 2-0team of the four enteringWeek 3, each of the others is1-1, and the losses absorbedby Batavia, Geneva andNorth (in overtime to ElkGrove) all came to highlyrespected foes.

If results play out justright, it seems reasonablethat this could be the firstseason since 2008 for theTri-Cities to go 4 for 4 on theplayoff bid front. Wicinskidoesn’t discount the possi-bility.

“I think I’ve got a goodfeel for what East has,”Wicinski said. “Batavia, I’mgoing to find out [tonight].North, I have no idea butthey just beat the bejesusout of [Plainfield Central],

and they’re touting thattailback as being the nextcoming, so if he’s that good,we’ll definitely have ourhands full with all their D-Iplayers.”

Batavia coach DennisPiron’s Bulldogs are thetwo-time defending UECRiver champions, runningthe table both times.

Piron said the way localteams challenge themselvesagainst excellent nonconfer-ence opposition makes forminimal margin for errorby the time conference playarrives.

“If you’re going to wantto make the playoffs, you’regoing to have to beat acouple of those [Tri-Cities]teams, and right now itlooks like everyone in onthe upswing, so it looks likeit’s going to be a lot of funcompetition,” Piron said.

Fun competition, forsure, as tonight’s crowdsshould attest.

But if the first threeyears of the UEC River arean accurate indicator, it’llcome at a cost to somebody.

“I think there’s anodd-man out rule becauseeveryone’s got to playeach other,” North coachRob Pomazak said. “Youdrop one game that youshouldn’t, and now you’reon the outside looking in.”

ROAD TRIPPING

The drive to the east sideshouldn’t be too taxing for St.Charles North fans, but parkingcould be.East is offering overflow

parking in the Sears area ofCharlestowne Mall for tonight’scrosstown showdown, plus ashuttle to the high school thatwill run from about 6 to 10 p.m.

REMEMBER WHEN …

Geneva quarterback DanielSantacaterina’s sophomoreseason ended prematurely withlast year’s Week 3 hit by gradu-ated Batavia defensive linemanMarquise Jenkins. Santacaterinasuffered a broken clavicle.“I’m not thinking about it too

much, and I think that’s a goodthing,” said Santacaterina, whohad a titanium plate and 10screws inserted to permanentlyprotect his collarbone. “It’s noteven in my head at all. I’m notworried about it. I’ve taken agood amount of hits the firsttwo weeks, so everything’s gonesmoothly.”

SLEEPER GAME OF THE WEEK

Kaneland at Sterling. TheKnights head west for amatchup of 2-0 teams and theirlone away game in the first fiveweeks of the season.The Golden Warriors, a 5A

playoff participant last season,have defeated Metamora andJohnsburg by an average of16½ points in their first twooutings this season.

COACHING SPOTLIGHT

St. Charles North coach RobPomazak will be experiencinghis first East-North crosstownrumble tonight at East.“I think it should be a great

atmosphere,” Pomazak said.“Obviously, when two teamsshare the same name with theexception of what direction, Ithink it means a little bit more.”

BATAVIA (1-1, 0-0 UPSTATE EIGHT CONFERENCE RIVER)AT GENEVA (1-1, 0-0 UEC RIVER)

7:30 p.m. TODAY

KCCHRONICLE.COM/PREPS GAMES OF THE WEEK

The buzz in the standsThe weather is always a trusty

conversation-starter, and thefirst feels-like-fall Friday night ofthe season – after a hot week,the temperature is forecast todrop into the 50s tonight – willhave Batavia and Geneva fansagreeing on at least one thing:Hoodies and hot chocolate areback in style.

The marquee matchupBatavia running back Anthony

Scaccia vs. Geneva’s lineback-ers.Geneva’s defense – with just

one returning starter – was amystery entering the season,but Vikings coach RobWicinskisaid the unit has impressed him.True, the Vikings have allowed67 points through two weeks,but Geneva has played strongcompetition, and the Vikings’offense and special teams havebacked the defense into some

precarious spots.Geneva’s linebacker play

– with senior Joe Boenzi andjunior Wyatt Shodeen leadingthe way – has been formidable,but it won’t be easy keeping tabson slippery Batavia running backAnthony Scaccia. Scaccia hurtthe Vikings in last year’s 35-21Batavia win, rushing for 112yards and two TDs.Of course, wrapping up Scaccia

at the line of scrimmage wouldbe even better if the Vikings canmuscle up.Wicinski said ends Billy Douds

and Matt Loberg and tackleStephen Kemp – formerly alinebacker himself – have beenamong the defense’s other topperformers.

The X-factorsBatavia wide receiver Rourke

Mullins missed the Bulldogs’ lossto Richards with a concussionbut is expected to be back.

Mullins’ field-stretching speedadds another welcome ingredi-ent for a Bulldogs offense that istalent-rich but has occasionallybeen sloppy with the football.

Best-case scenariofor the BulldogsA hot start that could deflate

the Burgess Field crowd beforeupset thoughts start swirling.Geneva won’t be intimidated

when it takes the field afterstarting the season by beatingOswego and playing compet-itively against DuPage ValleyConference juggernaut WheatonNorth.“High school football, so much

of it is what your kids believe,and obviously those kids believeat Geneva,” Batavia coach Den-nis Piron said.But the two-time defending

UEC River champion Bulldogshave the personnel to strip ateam’s confidence in a hurry,

and Batavia players would lovethe chance to remind the Vikingsearly and often about theirrecent success in the rivalry.

Best-case scenariofor the VikingsQuarterback Daniel Santa-

caterina builds upon what hasbeen an impressive connectionwith receivers Pace Temple(258 receiving yards, three TDs)and Kyle Brown (200 receivingyards) against a Batavia defensethat has been burned by bigplays early this season.“I’ve been really pleased with

him,” Wicinski said of Santaca-terina. “He’s reading the fieldreal well and he’s not holdingonto the ball, because Lordknows he doesn’t have muchtime. He’s manipulating thepocket real well.”Piron is leery of Geneva’s

downfield passing attack thatso far has overshadowed the Vi-

kings’ traditional, power runninggame.“I think this year they seem

to have some other things thatthey can do and in some waysit makes them a little bit moredangerous,” Piron said. “Theyseem like they can score rightnow on any play. You make amistake right now, and it seemslike it’s going to be a touch-down.”

Jay Schwab’s prediction:Batavia 32, Geneva 27There are dynamic skill-po-

sition players on both sides,starting at the quarterbackposition, so this shapes up as acrowd-pleasing installment ofthe rivalry. But at some point, adefensive stand or two will loomlarge, and you’d have to thinkBatavia’s significant experienceedge on that side of the ball willallow the Bulldogs to bounceback from last week’s rare loss.

ST. CHARLES NORTH (1-1, 0-0 UEC RIVER)AT ST. CHARLES EAST (2-0, 0-0 UEC RIVER)

7:30 p.m. TODAY

The buzz in the standsWhether St. Charles East can

treat the home crowd to anythingresembling the scoring bonanzathe Saints staged in the secondhalf last week, when East scoredall 41 of its points in surging pastJacobs, 41-26.“Whether they scored 41 or

they scored 1, we’re going to pre-pare the sameway,” North coachRob Pomazak said. “Eachweek isindependent of the next.”

ThemarqueematchupNorth’s offensive line vs. East’s

defensive line.Having digested film from

North’s overtime loss to Elk Groveand blowoutwin against PlainfieldCentral last week, East coachMike Fields said the North Stars’line-play is as advertised thisseason, meaning it’s awfully good.

North had to retool its plansat the center position, but withStephen Bancroft now settled inthere, a brawny unit led byMich-igan State-bound tackle ChaseGianacakoswill look to build on arobustWeek 2 performance.Athletic Saints D-ends Luke

Spicer and DavidMasonwillattempt to keep North’s line frommaking North running back EvanKurtz’s job easy.“We think [the line of scrim-

mage] is going to bewhere thefirst battle is going to be andwhere the last battle is going tobe this Friday,” East coachMikeFields said.

The X-factorsSpeaking of line-play, the Saints’

offensive line will be challengedwith starting offensive guard JakeSchultz out indefinitely with a

knee injury, an injury that Fieldssaid could sting.East’s depth at cornerback also

took a hit inWednesday’s prac-tice whenMatt Dorsey –whorotates in at a relatively deepposition for the Saints –wentdownwith a knee injury.

Best-case scenariofor the North StarsNorth steamrolled Plainfield

Central with 300-plus rushingyards, and the North Stars won’thesitate to play a power gameagainst the Saints or anyone else.Still, Pomazak and Co. would

like to see the passing gamemake strides to have the capabil-ity to punish teams for stackingthe box. Senior quarterback ErikMiller made better decisions lastweek than in amistake-proneopener but still has room to grow.

“I still think his best [play] isahead of Erik,” Pomazak said.“I think he’s going to be one ofthe best quarterbacks in ourconferencewhen it’s all said anddone. He’s extremely physicallytalented, and every day he’sgetting better.”

Best-case scenariofor the SaintsMake North chase a deficit.If East carries a lead into the

fourth quarter, the North Starslikely would feel compelled todeviate from their strength offen-sively, and ball-hawking Saintsdefensive backs led by two-waystalwart Brannon Barry could helpthe Saints win the turnover battle.East quarterback Jimmy

Mitchell’s confidence has to be atan all-time high after the Jacobsgame, though a North defense

led by do-it-all linebacker ReeceConroyd and surprise performersMitchell Riggs (two intercep-tions) and defensive tackle JamesGlavin will ensure the Saints earnwhat they get.“We’ve got our hands full,”

Fields said. “They’ll be the best ofthe three teams that we’ve faced.We’ve got to play our best gameto get that ‘W.’ “

Jay Schwab’s prediction:St. Charles East 21,St. Charles North 19This has the potential to be a

sensational game,with two teamsthat likely are both playoff-calibercoming off upliftingWeek 2wins.It could certainly go eitherway,but the Saints’ knack for big spe-cial teams returns andMitchell’semergencemakes East awfullytough to pick against at home.

PREP FOOTBALL WEEK 3 PREVIEW CAPSULES

Kaneland (2-0, 0-0 North-ern Illinois Big 12 East) atSterling (2-0, 0-0 NI Big12 West), 7:30 p.m. todayLast week’s results: Kaneland beat

IC Catholic Prep, 45-14; Sterling beatJohnsburg, 35-16.The skinny: Need proof traditionally

pass-happy Kaneland is comfortablethese days as a balanced or – gasp– possibly even run-oriented offense?The Knights have zero touchdownpasses in their first two games, astatistic that’s easy to shrug off con-sidering the Knights won comfortablyagainst Brooks and IC Catholic Prep.Still, coach Tom Fedderly would like tosee quarterback Drew David and thepassing game lead directly to somepoints. “We had some that we shouldhave [the past couple weeks] but Ithink we probably overthrew it or ranthe wrong route,” Fedderly said. “Wehad a couple we should have had forsure but just didn’t execute on it. Buthaving rushing touchdowns, that’s finewith me.” The Knights have eight ofthose, five coming from Jesse Balluff(34 carries for 269 yards). In NI Big 12crossover foe Sterling, the Knights willdeal with another multifaceted, spreadoffense; the Golden Warriors’ DraquePenaflor-Heier has rushed for 253 yardsand four TDs while QB Bryant Lilly is23 for 41 for 420 passing yards andfive TDs.Extra point: Fedderly said the

Knights will welcome standout middlelinebacker Gary Koehring back afterKoehring missed the IC Catholic Prepgame with a minor injury.

St. Edward (2-0, 0-0Suburban ChristianConference Blue) at

Marmion (2-0, 0-0 SCCBlue), 7:30 p.m. todayLast week’s results:Marmion beat

Ottawa, 45-0; St. Edward beat WestHancock Co-op, 43-0.The skinny: If Marmion coach Dan

Thorpe could bottle his team’s roadperformance from last week, he’d do it.“To be honest, I was pretty impressedwith us,” Thorpe said of the Ottawagame. “We were physical, efficient.Made plays.” Thorpe said quarterbackBrock Krueger is off to a fine start in hissenior season, marveling in particularabout a throwing-across-the-bodyhookup with Tyler Eberth at Ottawa.Thorpe said safety Jake Gallaherhas been a welcome addition to thesecondary. As of Wednesday night,running back Jordan Glasgow was“probable” to make his season debutagainst St. Edward after a high anklesprain sidelined the standout junior thefirst two weeks.Extra point: Thorpe expects a tough-

er go for the Cadets now that SCC playis beginning. “We know we’re in theSuburban Christian this week,” Thorpesaid. “It’s good football for the nextseven weeks. Quality coaches, quality

players and quality programs.”

St. Francis (2-0, 0-0SCC Blue) at ChicagoChristian (1-1, 0-0 SCCGold), 7:30 p.m. todayLast week’s results: St. Francis

beat Plainfield South, 43-20; ChicagoChristian lost to Momence, 41-7.The skinny: St. Francis turned in a

highly impressive nonconference run,handily defeating Riverside-Brookfieldand Plainfield South. Running backJames Butler, a Bartlett transfer, is offto a monster start, and reportedly drewrecent recruiting interest from Iowaand Purdue.Extra point: Chicago Christian

doesn’t appear to be much of a matchfor St. Francis, with the Knights’ win anarrow, 20-18 opening victory against0-2 Chicago North Lawndale.

Aurora Christian (2-0, 0-0Suburban Christian Con-ference Blue) at WaltherLutheran (0-2, 0-0 SCCGold), 1 p.m. SaturdayLast week’s results: Aurora Chris-

tian beat Chicago Urban Prep, 55-0;Walther Lutheran lost to Fenton, 38-13.The skinny: Aurora Christian coach

Don Beebe always talks respectfullyaboutWalther Lutheran’s program,mind-ful of the Eagles’ former struggles againstWalther Lutheranwhen the schools werePrivate School League rivals. But theEagles have ascended to lofty heights inrecent years, andWalther has gone theopposite direction. This shapes up as thethird straight weekwithout a serious testfor the Eagles.Extra point: Noah Hagerty leads a

balanced Aurora Christian receivingcorps so far with six catches for 132yards and a touchdown.

Aurora Central Catholic(2-0, 0-0 SCC Gold) atIC Catholic (1-1, 0-0 SCCGold), 1 p.m. SaturdayLast week’s results: ACC beat

Chicago Bogan, 42-7; IC Catholic Preplost to Kaneland, 45-14.The skinny: ACC coach Brian Casey

thought the Chargers would need thebest week of practice the program hashad to conquer an IC Catholic Prepprogram that has dealt the Chargersharsh, Week 3 comeuppances the pastcouple seasons after ACC also startedthose years 2-0. Casey is puttingemphasis on a better showing againstthe Knights this time.Extra point: The Chargers’ defense

showed signs it can be opportunistic,gathering turnovers in their only gameaction last week (ACC won by forfeitWeek 1), a trend ACC would love tocontinue against an IC Catholic Prepoffense that made its share of mistakeslast week at Kaneland.

“Pack the Place”partnershipBatavia touted Tuesday’s

Upstate Eight ConferenceRiver Division opener as its“Pack the Place” night.Visiting St. Charles North

got the memo, too, as well assome promotional T-shirts.It was all part of Bulldogscoach Lori Trippi-Payne’splan.“I think that speaks a lot

about their program and justthe person that she is,” saidNorth coach Lindsey Haw-kins, who sported a “Packthe Place” T-shirt during thematch. “She really wants tobuild an Upstate Eight tra-dition of spirit, and we lovethat because we’re all aboutthat at North. We were happyto join in and get as manyfans out here as possible.”

Ultimately, the royal blueand black-clad partisans inthe overflow crowd foundmore to cheer about duringNorth’s 25-23, 25-21 victory– the North Stars’ 10th in asmany matches to open theseason.“We knew that it wasn’t go-

ing to be easy. It was goingto be a battle, but we all hadto play for each other and wecouldn’t give up,” North mid-dle blocker Emily Carroll said.“We just had to keep fighting.Go all out for every play andnever take a play off.”

Allie aboardBurlington Central’s three-

game win against RockFalls last week includeddouble-digit kills from hittersJenna Schudel and MakennaJensen.

That junior defensive spe-cialist Allie DeTamble (ninekills) wasn’t far behind themwas especially encourag-ing to Rockets coach MarvLeavitt, who is looking forextra offense as the teamawaits Lauren Wiltsie’srecovery from a knee injury.“That was strong. Allie

played tough,” Leavitt said.“She’s one of our startingDSes, so the passing hasbeen there, but getting thathitting contribution reallyhelps us out.”

QUICK READ

Marathon best of both worlds for KappeleSt. Charles’ Amy Kappele

aspires to blend brains andbrawn in her everyday life.

She’s a reading specialistat Davis Primary School inSt. Charles by day, and anavid runner by early morn-ing and/or night.

At the fourth annualAdvocate Dreyer Fox ValleyMarathon on Sept. 22, Kap-pele will consider herself thebest of both worlds. She’scompeting in the half-mar-athon to benefit Bernie’sBook Bank, which collectsand redistributes books to at-risk children in the Chicagoregion.

“I’m trying to put thetwo together to support kidsright in our backyard andChicagoland because wehave kids that need it,” Kap-pele said. “They need thesebooks.”

Kappele, a former basket-ball and soccer athlete at St.Charles High, pledged to runone half-marathon a monthin 2013 as a fundraiser forthe Lake Forest-based book

bank. She set a goal of $3,000,or 12,000 books – it costs 25cents to collect, process andredistribute a book – and hasraised $781 so far.

Kappele runs throughTeam Bernie,a walking,running,biking andswimmingclub namedfor BernardFloriani, thelate father

of Brian Floriani, the bookbank’s executive directorsince the organization’s De-cember 2009 inception.

District 303 has heldall-district book drives tobenefit the bank, as well,collecting more than 23,000books in 2011-12 and morethan 33,000 books in 2012-13.The bank serves more than75,000 children from birth tosixth grade and is on trackto reach its goal of distrib-uting more than 1 millionhigh-quality books this year.

“If you wouldn’t give it to

your child, then we wouldn’tgive it to someone else’schild,” Kappele said.

Kappele has yet to finalizeher half-marathon destina-tions for October, Novemberand December, but has plansin place, especially for her2013 swan song.

“I’m hoping it might besomewhere warm, but I’mnot sure yet,” Kappele said.“But I’m going to finish,because I’ve done this manyalready.”

Cooler by the pool: TheNorris Center pool un-derwent improvements todehumidification equipmentin the winter of 2011, andthe work continues payingdividends for St. Charlesswimmers.

In past years, St. CharlesEast coach Joe Cabel said

coping with Monday andTuesday’s 90-plus degreetemperatures would havebeen an against-the-currentendeavor.

Not anymore. Instead ofthings feeling “about 115[degrees]” in the natatorium,per Cabel, temperatures aremuch more tolerable.

“They say it’s not airconditioning, but it stays85 degrees 365 days a year,”Cabel said. “The humidity isalways the same. So whatev-er they do …”

Touch ’em all: KennySocorro morphed into a play-er-coach during the stretchrun of the Midwest Leagueseason, making two reliefappearances for the Cougarsas the club enacted its abilityto activate its fourth coachwhen in need.

Drafted by the parentCubs as a shortstop in the44th round in 2011, Socorrofirst played for Cougarsmanager Mark Johnson atShort-A Boise. Their rela-tionship was solid enough

where Johnson brought So-corro to his staff when righthamstring and right ankleinjuries derailed Socorro’splaying career in 2012.

Socorro, 24, plans to go toscouting school this offsea-son in a bid to stay in thegame.

“He’s bilingual [Englishand Spanish], and he can dothings on the field and hecan do things off the field,”Johnson said. “He’s got someopportunities.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Freshman leads way in Geneva’s big winBy DENNIS D. [email protected]

ELGIN – There were plen-ty of seniors playing the frontnine in a big Upstate EightConference River Divisiondual meet at Bowes CreekCountry Club on Thursday,but it was a diminutive fresh-man who came up with thebiggest round of the day.

Geneva’s Grant Lillibridgefired an even-par 36 to leadthe Vikings (7-0 overall, 4-0league) to a 159-165 victoryover previously unbeaten St.Charles North.

“I didn’t hit the ball great,but I chipped and putted ex-tremely well,” Lillibridge said.“I got up and down a bunch.Coming out of the rough – Ionly hit two fairways – I wasvery good. I hit a lot of greens.”

The greens were whereLillibridge separated himselffrom the competition.

“I tried to keep my headdown in putting because I hita lot of lag putts,” Lillibridgesaid. “Any clutch putts I had, Imade, which was huge to keepthe round going.”

A prime example of that

came on the ninth hole when

Lillibridge sank a 20-footer for

birdie.

“I knew it was up the hill

and was going to break a lit-

tle right,” he said. “So I tried

just to hit it hard enough to get

up there. It got in on the edge

and I was fortunate for it to go

in because that pin placement

is brutal. If I missed it, it was

probably all the way down

the hill and was going to be a

tough putt coming back.”

Lillibridge’s round was

four strokes better than the

next best score of the day,

turned in by North’s MattSamuelson.

“I played well,” Samuelsonsaid. “I feel like I could havewent lower, but you can saythat after every single round.It was windy and, overall, I’dsay 40 on a day like today isOK.”

Samuelson said the Bow-es Creek course is one of thetougher ones he sees in highschool play, especially inwindy conditions.

“There are no trees out hereand there are a lot of hazardson the course,” he said. “Whenit gets windy, that brings theminto play even more. You real-ly have to keep it straight andmake putts, but if you playwell, you can go low.”

J.T. Grill shot a 41 andRaghav Cherala and TharynDuncan each finished with a42 for the North Stars (6-1, 2-1).

“This was probably thebiggest match of the year sofar,” North coach Rob Pren-tiss said. “We’re disappointedtonight we didn’t defend ourhome course a little better.We’re looking to learn fromwhat happened out there to-

day. I have a lot of seniors onthe team, but I wouldn’t saythey have a lot of experiencein big matches. It was a bigmatch tonight and for somereason, as a group, we didn’tanswer the challenge.”

Geneva had three playersfinish at 41 – Brett Hassells,Alex Schreiber, and Mac Fee-han.

“I always look at the Northteam as one of the top teams inthe conference,” Geneva coachBill Koehn said. “You have tobeat them. To come here andwin on their course is quite anaccomplishment.”

The Vikings hope to contin-ue their strong play when theyhost Batavia in another keyconference dual meet Tuesdayat Mill Creek.

“It’s different guys everynight that are stepping up,”Koehn said. “Grant Lillibridgeis playing extremely well as afreshman. He’s been our lead-er the whole season. … Wehad a sophomore step up andplay really big for us tonight,Mac Feehan. That might be hisbest round so far in the confer-ence.”

Rosary girls tennis scores conference victoryKANE COUNTY CHRONICLE

AURORA – Learning expe-riences and winning experi-ences have been one and thesame for the Rosary girls ten-nis team lately.

Thursday’s 4-1 win againstvisiting Suburban ChristianConference foe Chicago Chris-tian provided the latest exam-ple.

BEARS NOTES

Bears face similar scheme against Vikings’ young secondaryBy KEVIN FISHBAIN

[email protected]

LAKE FOREST – If theBears’ offensive line can holdits own against Jared Allen,Brian Robison and the Vi-kings’ front, it will give JayCutler an opportunity tothrow against a young Min-nesota secondary.

In a few years, the Vikings’back end could look like theBears’ group, but for now, it’sstill a unit that allowed 357passing yards last week andfinished 24th against the passlast season.

Starters Josh Robinsonand Harrison Smith are intheir second season and Xavi-

er Rhodes, who comes on thefield in the nickel, is a rookie,but the Bears aren’t lookingpast this unit.

“They have skill in theback end. They have speedand they’ve made plays inthe past,” said offensive coor-dinator Aaron Kromer, whoalso singled out cornerbackChris Cook’s physicality.

Coach Marc Trestmancompared the Vikings’ Cover2 defense to a look from theearly 2000s, citing how phys-ical the defensive backs areand their ability to defend therun.

“From the sideline or fromthe casual observer, it almostlooks like they’re playing

man-to-man coverage in theirCover 2 as you come off theline of scrimmage,” he said.“They play their positionsvery well. They’re disciplinedback there. We’ve got a lot ofchallenges.

“They’re a good group andthey’re going to just get bet-ter.”

A Cover-2 scheme that re-lies on very physical corners– sound familiar?

“It’s a very similar struc-ture,” Trestman said aboutthe Vikings’ scheme com-pared to what the Bears’ of-fense sees in practice againstits own defense. “[There are]subtle differences in howthey play certain techniques,

but very similar structure.”Protecting Jay, Week 2:

New Bears left tackle JermonBushrod gets the task thisweek of blocking Allen, one ofthe game’s best pass rushersthe past few seasons.

“He’s a tough competitor.I’ve played him a few timesand it’s no letdown everyplay,” Bushrod said. “He’sgoing to the ball hard everysingle play so I’ve got to bestriking on all cylinders toget it done this week.”

Cutler knows Allen canmake a difference, but be-lieves Bushrod can keep hisblind side clean.

“I’ve got all the confidencein Bush to block him one-on-

one,” he said.On the other side, rookie

Jordan Mills will face BrianRobison, whom Trestmansaid may even be more athlet-ic than Allen.

No Peppers, Tillman: JuliusPeppers was sent home frompractice with a fever. Trest-man said Peppers will see thedoctor but that it’s “nothingserious there.”

After being limited inpractice with a knee injuryWednesday, Charles Tillmanwas absent Thursday.

Trestman said it was notinjury-related, but for a fami-ly matter, and Tillman will beback today.

A lifelongpursuit begins another phaseRon Koeppl. Mention that

name anywhere from MainStreet to the Great White Way,The Metropolitan Opera or LasVegas, and the response will be asmile and a thank you.

That’s because his longcareer as a drama teacher andproducer has provided a step-ping off place for many talentedstudents. Students, players andaudiences have a lingering joyin their hearts after encoun-tering the enchantment of thetheater arts in the company ofRon and his much beloved latewife, Gretchen.

Retirement? Not exactly. Hehad already retired from thefaculty at St. Charles East.

“The Wiz” was announced ashis last musical production andsoon “Noises Off,” a farce thatis the repeat of a presentationin the ’80s, will be what he hasdeclared as his very last.

Look for “Noises Off” inOctober on the 10, 18, 19 and 20 atthe Norris Cultural Arts Theaterin St. Charles.

Now a resident of The Re-serve in Geneva, he seems by no

means retired, just at the stagewhere memories are still freshand poised. He keeps up hisinfluence in promoting the finearts and perhaps writing a book.

How about writing and scor-ing “The Other Wiz: The Lifeand Times of Ron and GretchenKoeppl?”

Gretchen was a multi talent-ed player, actress and singer andinspiration to all. Casting couldbe a challenge. And who coulddo justice to the role of RonKoeppl?

As Ron gathered his mem-ories in our recent chat, he re-marked that the ’80s were kindof a Golden Age or as he called it,OMG times.

So many of those talentedwent on to fruitful careers. Mostin the region. Follow the operat-ic career of Wray.

Koeppl cites Matt Jones,who appeared in “Phantom of

the Opera;” Lawson Skala whoappeared in “Jesus Christ SuperStar” and “Phantom,” too, andwas lauded by Andrew LloydWeber.

He also cites Kim Saval whowent on to appear in “Josephand the Amazing TechnicolorDream Coat” and “Beauty andthe Beast.”

Stephen Full appeared onthe Disney Channel; Koepplconnects with many otherformer students and folks fromPlaymakers, and other commu-nity theater and fine arts com-rades on Facebook. All of us aredeemed his “extended family.”

One might conclude with theover-used phrase – “All’s wellthat ends well.” ... But it isn’tover yet!

It’s up to Ron to cue when thefat lady sings ... .

Going On Now

Model Year End

Four years ago, Infinitireplaced a 3.5- with a 3.7-literengine, which changed the G35model line into a G37 car. TheG37, like the G35, can be orderedas a sedan, coupe or convertible.

The slightly tweaked enginewas mated to a new seven-speedautomatic transmission. Theseven-speed replaced a five-speed automatic, thus improvingfuel economy by a mile or twoper gallon of gasoline.

Through the years, the G37remains relatively unchanged.Quality materials dominatethe interior and a classy sportprofile expresses itself on theexterior. Damping mechanicsin the strut suspension sys-tem keep this 69.8-inch-wide,187.9-inch-long car on an evenkeel. Acoustics are topnotch dueto multi-point engine mounts,laminated glass, and generousdoses of foam insulation intocavities surrounding the cabin.The interior is ultra-quiet.

The engine is, like an animalof prey, alert and quiet. It usespremium fuel. A 2013 all-wheel-drive (rear-wheel-drive stan-dard) coupe was tested recently.The 3,822-pound, four-passenger,two-door coupe averaged 20.7miles per gallon. Driving habitswere mild with few intemperateaccelerations from stop signs.

Two adults were aboard onprimarily interstate driving.The Environmental ProtectionAgency rates the 2013 G37 coupeat 18 miles per gallon city and 25mpg highway. A 20-gallon tankis onboard. Mileage statisticsare governed by driving habits,weather, road conditions andquality of gasoline.

Prices for the 2013 G37 startat $32,550 and can top out closeto $50,000. The tested coupecost $41,450 and came with a330-horsepower, dual overheadcam, 24-valve engine mated tothe shiftable automatic. Therewere solid magnesium pad-dle shifters behind the powerleather-clad tilt and telescopingsteering wheel.

All models share the same

basic power amenities (seats,exterior mirrors, door locks,four express up-and-downwindows, remote entry), such ascruise control, air conditioning,reading lights front and rear,lighted visor vanity mirrors,compass, trip meters, externaltemperature control, zoned cli-mate control, rear view monitor,analog clock and XM satelliteradio in the sound package, andsafety features, such as tractionand stability controls, antilockbrakes and airbags in front andsides with curtains overhead.But niceties are added as pricesincrease.

Options on the tested coupeincluded the $1,250 tech pack-age and a $1,950 sport package.This meant larger wheels andtires (19- instead of 18-inch) and

brakes (14-inch front with and13.8-inch rear replacing 12-inchdiscs). The larger brakes hadfour-piston calipers in front andtwo-piston calipers in the rear.

This vehicle can brakefrom 60 miles per hour to 0 in adistance of 120 feet. This is goodand better than 95 percent of allvehicles being driven on high-ways today.

The packages also included apower moonroof over the frontseats, added a viscous limitedslip differential, and includedupgraded safety fare, such asrain-sensing windshield wipers,intelligent cruise control,pre-collision seat belt tighteningand preview braking (automaticif collision imminent).

The six-speaker sound systemincludes AM-FM- XM satelliteradio, compact disc player, USBconnection port for iPod and oth-er compatible devices, Bluetoothhands-free telephone, 7-inchcolor monitor and redundantcontrols on the tilt and telescop-

ing leather-clad steering wheel.A $1,850 package adds a nav-

igation system, XM navigationtraffic and weather, DVD videoplayback, voice recognition anda 9.3 gigabyte music box to theBose sound system, lane guid-ance and speed limit advisorymonitor.

This package was not on thetest vehicle. The tested G37 didcome with gray Monaco leatherfor the seats. The tight stitchingstands out in the charcoal interi-or. Metal trim includes alumi-num brake and gas pedals.

Start and stop functions aredone via a pushbutton on thedashboard.

With high intensity dischargeheadlights, front fog lamps,chrome trim, wraparound lightsand dual polished exhaust tipsin the rear, the low-profile G37exemplifies what a spiffy coupeshould look like.

The coupe has a front chinand rear decklid spoiler, blackgrille, rear sonar system (de-

tects close or too close vehiclesand sounds a warning), andmore emphatic front fascia andside sills.

The suspension system hasdouble wishbones in front andmultilinks in the rear to keepthis midsize coupe steady whilerounding sharp corners at fastbut legal speeds.

For comfort on long trips,and a little bit of zip along theway, the coupe is ideal for twopersons. The cabin is quiet, thesound system superb. Frontseats are comfortable as far asleg room and body configura-tions are concerned. The rearseating area is confining asit is in coupes. The trunk has13.5 cubic feet of storage space,which is commendable in acoupe.

Infiniti’s standard war-ranty of four years or 50,000miles with 24-hour roadsideassistance adds six-year or70,000-mile coverage on thedrivetrain.

HOROSCOPE

Movie is horrifyingly badBy AL ALEXANDERMore Content Now

It’s gotten to the pointthat I’m more afraid ofhaunted-house movies thanhaunted houses themselves.And an insipid new film is aprime reason why they haveme shaking in my puke-stained boots.

It’s not just bad; it’s thatrare movie free of a single re-deeming quality. Everythingabout it stinks, from thesophomoric writing to thesleep-inducing performances.But even more frighteningis the feeling that the torturebeing inflicted by the writ-ing-directing team of RobertBen Garant and ThomasLennon will never end. Itjust goes on and on sans anysemblance of cleverness andspontaneity.

“Hell Baby” bills itself as aparody, but why pick on goodmovies like “Rosemary’sBaby” and “The Exorcist”when there are so manyawful horror pictures ripeto be ripped to shreds? Butattempting to read logic intothis turkey is foolhardy atbest. That’s because there isno logic, just a lot of poorlyexecuted, scattershot scenesthat are nowhere close tointeresting or new.

Dare I say it makes the“Scary Movie” franchiselook brilliant by comparison?It’s certainly not up to thestandards of a performer thecaliber of Weymouth’s RobCorddry, who must haveowed someone a favor inorder to undercut his esteemso grievously. And given theconsistently anguished lookon his face, I wouldn’t beshocked if he wasn’t forcedinto it at gunpoint.

Even under such obviousduress Corddry tries hisbest to be funny, but giventhe humor-starved state ofthe material, even the best

comedians would be over-matched. Blame that onLennon and Garant, a coupleof vets of the cult cable shows“The State” and “Reno 911.”If you’re familiar with theirwork in those arenas, youshould have a good read onhow much you’ll hate – orlove – “Hell Baby.” It’s verymuch the same style ofoffbeat, in-your-face humor.But it also reeks of the sameair of self-satisfaction emittedby writers who think they’refunnier than they actuallyare.

And given Lennon andGarant’s extensive back-grounds in sketch comedy,it’s understandable why“Hell Baby” often feels likea 95-second skit s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d to 95 minutes. That alsomight explain why there’sno discernible plot or theme.The philosophy is clearlythrow everything you canthink of at the screen andhope some of it sticks. But,regrettably, nothing does.

Buried somewhere deepamid all the screaming andgross-out gags is an attemptto make a statement on race,

class and the social-eco-nomic divide. But good luckfinding it. All I could see wasrampant stupidity. And whatcould be more idiotic thancasting a comedian as giftedas Corddry as a straightman? He plays Jack, anallegedly savvy house-flipper,who, along with his beautifuland very pregnant wife, Va-nessa (an overmatched LeslieBibb), has just moved into arundown mansion in one ofblackest, roughest sectionsof New Orleans. They’re look-ing to one day make a killingon the house, but the house islooking to kill them first.

It’s haunted of course, andalmost immediately Vanes-sa is possessed. How do weknow this? Because she’ssuddenly drinking copiousamounts of wine and paintthinner in her third trimes-ter. No wonder she’s about topop a demonic baby, com-plete with little tiny horns.

The more obvious onesare the goat horns worn bythe rest of the cast, includinga beautiful, but very nude,Riki Lindhome, as Vanes-sa’s shaman-like sex-pot

sister, and Comedy Central’sKeegan Michael Key as theintrusive, uninvited boarderresiding in Jack and Vanes-sa’s musty crawlspace.

But their rancidness can’tpossibly compare to Lennonand Garant, who repeatedlyattempt to steal their ownmovie by playing latter-dayFather Guido Sarduccis sentby The Vatican to rid Jackand Vanessa’s home of itsdisgruntled spirits.

Not only are Lennon andGarant not funny, they’re anembarrassing stereotype ofmacho Italians, bad accentsand all.

The one thing you cansay in “Hell Baby’s” favor isthat there are no pee or poopjokes. But a 3- or 4-minutepuke-athon quickly negatesthat.

We also get an evisceratedpsychiatrist and a group ofresponsible adults shownacting crudely.

Granted, what they do in-volves the devil, but it’s stillnot what you’d call pleasantto watch. It’s certainly notfunny. It’s merely revolting,just like the rest of the movie.

Dr. Wallace:My son

is 18 and attending a

university on a football

scholarship. He was an

all-state running back

and had many scholar-

ship offers, but chose

the Big Ten because of

its wonderful national

media coverage. My son

has dreamed of playing

professional football

ever since he met a pro-

fessional football player

at an athletic banquet 10

years ago.

The Big Ten univer-

sity has a wonderful

academic reputation, so

if he got injured play-

ing football or didn’t

have the skills to play

professional football,

he would have a quality

education. I am a realist.

I know a lot of boys

dream about being a

World Series hero or

scoring the winning

touchdown in the Super

Bowl, but many of these

dreams are just that –

dreams. What are the

odds of a boy becoming

a professional athlete?

I won’t be surprised if

you can’t answer the

question. – Mom, GrandRapids, Mich.

Dear Mom: Your son

has chosen to join one

of the more elite football

conferences in the coun-

try, and if he performs

well, the professional

scouts will be watching

him. He has a much

better chance of reach-

ing his goal at a Big

Ten school than “New

Mexico State Teachers’

College.”

To become a profes-

sional, the athlete must

have enormous talent,

dedication to the game

and a tremendous work

ethic. The National

Collegiate Athletic

Association reports that

approximately one in

12,000 college athletes

becomes a professional.

Dr. Wallace: My

girlfriend and I had

been living together for

a while, and we have a

young daughter. Our

relationship was great

until my brother was

killed in an accident in

Colombia. I changed

after his death. I walked

around with a chip on

my shoulder, acted like

I didn’t care what hap-

pened to me and treated

everyone, including my

girlfriend, like dirt.

Two weeks ago, she

left me and moved back

to Mexico. I don’t know

if she took off because

of my nasty behavior or

because she has found

another guy. I still love

the mother of my baby,

but I also hate her for

leaving me alone. Help!

– Nameless, Nogales,Ariz.

Dear Nameless: Life

teaches harsh and

sometimes irreversible

lessons. I am sorry about

your brother’s untimely

death and can under-

stand that it created

chaos in your life. Alas,

when you treat someone

like dirt – no matter

what psychological “jus-

tification” lies behind

it – you reap what you

sow.

If you treated your

girlfriend badly enough,

she and the baby may

be gone for good. You

say you still love her,

but you also hate her for

leaving you. As long as

that anger and hatred

are tainting your love,

she is unlikely to return

to you and, indeed,

would be foolish to do so.

If she wrote to me asking

for advice, I’m sure

I’d tell her not to. Why

should she trust you?

Your only course of

action is to apologize

to her from the bottom

of your heart and then

move on with your life.

Dear Abby: Now that Californialaw prohibits drivers from usingcellphones and texting whiledriving, an additional issueneeds to be addressed and actedupon. Bicyclists are supposedto abide by the vehicle codes,too, but they rarely do – and thatincludes not wearing protectivegear.

I’m now seeing people onbikes texting, talking while rid-ing and routinely ignoring stopsigns.

Disappointingly, I have neverseen a single rider pulled overor ticketed for doing this. Howmany lives must be destroyed orlost before the police start enforc-ing penalties for the danger thesepeople cause to others? – CaringReader, Sacramento, Calif.

Dear Caring Reader: You’reasking something I have beenasking myself for some time. Iunderstand that teenagers maythink they’re immortal as theywhiz along the streets, but theadults I see weaving in and outand ignoring stop signs are oldenough to know better.

Many cities promote bicy-cling as a way to mitigate traffic

congestion and encourage ahealthier, more active lifestyle.Police may ignore the infractionsbecause they have more seriouscrimes to attend to. Or perhapsthey have been instructed to doso. (If members of law enforce-ment would like to address this,I’d love to hear from you.)

Dear Abby: My son serves ona ship in the Navy in an areaknown for terrorism. Peoplewho know this tell me how safehis ship is, how strong the U.S.military is, etc.

PLEASE, people, when I (oranyone else who has a familymember in the military) ask forprayers or express concern, doNOT offer these platitudes. Un-derstand that our fears are real,and so are our tears.

Offer a hug, a hand-squeeze,say you will pray for us – butunderstand that until our lovedones are back on U.S. soil, ourfears and tension won’t lessen.

Unless you have been in ourshoes, you can’t know how wefeel when we watch the newsbecause we have no true idea ofwhat is going on. Our militaryfamily members can’t tell us,and often we have no (or limited)contact with them. I cry aloneoften.

I am proud of my son for hisservice and even encouraged it,but this is a rough time for meand others who are in this situa-tion. – Military Mother

Dear Military Mother: Thankyou for writing. Many people areuncomfortable when they en-counter an emotional situationand don’t know what to say.

Their impulse is to “make itbetter,” not realizing that some-times a gesture is more eloquentthan words can be.

I agree with you that when aloved one is in harm’s way, it isan emotional roller-coaster ridefor all concerned – the parents,the siblings, the spouses and thechildren of our servicemen andwomen.

Dear Doctor K: I’m trying to cutback on salt in my diet. Can youhelp me get started? Where doesmost of the salt in my diet comefrom?

Dear Reader:You may besurprised to hear that, for mostAmericans, just 10 types of fooddeliver almost half of our dailysodium. Here’s the list:

• Breads and rolls• Cold cuts/cured meats• Pizza• Poultry• Soups• Hamburgers and other sand-

wiches• Cheese• Pasta mixed dishes• Meat mixed dishes• Chips, pretzels and other

savory snacks(For children ages 2 to 5, hot

dogs and sausages come in at No.3.)

At first glance, it seems oddthat breads and rolls top the list.After all, they aren’t nearly assalty as chips or cheese. But sincewe eat breads and rolls moreoften, the modest amounts of sodi-um they contain add up.

The body needs some sodiumto function, but too much sodium

can increase blood pressure andmake the kidneys work harder.High blood pressure is a leadingcause of stroke, heart attack, heartfailure, kidney disease and more.

Americans take in an averageof 3,266 milligrams of sodium aday, or about 1 1/2 teaspoons ofsalt. That’s well above the healthytarget of 2,300 milligrams a day,or 1 teaspoon. And some author-ities say that the target of 2,300milligrams a day is too high. Forpeople at risk for heart disease,kidney disease and stroke – suchas people with high blood pressureor diabetes – a target of 1,500 milli-grams a day is better.

As you cut down on salt inyour diet, the first logical step is tolimit or avoid the foods on the “top10” list. Next, be mindful whenyou shop for groceries or eat inrestaurants.

The most sodium-heavy foodswe eat tend to be processed foods.So, minimize canned or preparedfoods, as well as foods that are salt-

ed, smoked or cured, such as coldcuts, bacon and cheese. You canalways check the Nutrition Factslabel on packaged food in super-markets to see how much salt is ina prepared food.

Be careful that you determinewhat the Nutrition Facts label con-siders a “serving.” A can may saythere are 500 milligrams of sodiumin a “serving,” leading you tothink that means 500 milligramsin the whole can. But most of thetime, the can will contain severalservings. This may seem likeobvious advice, but I’m surprisedby how many of my patients don’tlook at the definition of “serving”that’s on the label.

Replace processed foods withfoods made from scratch. Eat morevegetables and fruits. Replace saltwith herbs, spices and flavorings.When you eat out, if possible, askthat your food be made withoutsalt. At chain restaurants, menusthat list nutrition information canhelp you choose wisely.

Remember biddingand count points

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Vinoba Bhave, an Indianadvocate for human rights whodied in 1982, said: “Innumerableactions are going on through usall the time. If we started count-ing them, we should never cometo an end.”

Luckily, it is not that toughat the bridge table. But the morecounting you do, the better youwill play. In today’s deal, Southis in four hearts. West leads thediamond king. East overtakeswith his ace and returns a dia-mond. West wins with his jackand cashes the diamond queen,East discarding the club two.Now West shifts to a deceptivespade nine. How should declarercontinue?

Note South’s balancing jumpovercall. This is no longer weak,as it would have been in thesecond seat. It is intermediate,showing a respectable six- orseven-card suit and some 14-16high-card points. The hand willtypically contain seven playingtricks (winners).

South has lost three tricks,his book. He must play the trumpsuit without loss. In normalcircumstances, he would finessethrough East. But whenever anopponent opens the bidding andyou buy the contract, alwayscount up the high-card points.

Here, North and South havea combined 24 points. East hasalready produced four, thediamond ace. That leaves at most12 for West, yet he opened thebidding. He must have the heartking. (Alternatively, if East hadhad that king, he would have hadseven points and would not havepassed over his partner’s openingbid.)

So, declarer should win trickfour and play a heart to his ace.When the king luckily drops,South can claim.
