CAMPTON TOWNSHIP –Mary Ann Sedor’s pants werecaked in mud after her bicyclecouldn’t quite make it up a mud-dy hill during Sunday’s Camp-ton Cross – Chicago CyclocrossCup Halloween Race at AndersonPark in Campton Township.

“I totally wiped out,” Sedorsaid. “My bike tipped over.”

Despite the setback, theWarrenville resident said sheenjoyed the challenge of the cyc-locross race, which had cyclistsracing over rough terrain.

“It is super hard,” Sedor said.“You are pretty much at yourthreshold the whole time.”

For Jostein Alvestad of Elm-hurst, dressing up was as muchfun as competing in the race. Hecame dressed as Tonto, with hisblack wig doubling as a bicyclehelmet.

“I saw the movie ‘The LoneRanger’ with my kids and decidedto dress as Tonto,” Alvestad said.

Participants and spectators

were encouraged to dress in cos-

tume in the event, which con-

sisted of 12 different races. The

course also provided plenty of

challenges for Alvestad.

“There are some tricky turns

and some challenging bumpy

parts,” he said.

Bicyclist Matt Howley of Glen

Ellyn discovered just how rough

the course was after participating

in the event.

“It’s mostly uphill,” Howley

said. “Jostein talked me into do-

ing the race. I did my best today.”

ST. CHARLES – Music lov-ers had a chance to indulge insome country and bluegrasstunes Saturday in St. Charleswhile helping three local char-itable organizations and pay-ing tribute to veterans.

The third annual con-cert held at the Arcada The-atre raised money for the St.Charles Noon Rotary Club andthe River Corridor Foundationof St. Charles. And for the firsttime, the concert benefited theOperation Finally Home orga-nization and saluted veterans.

Bob Brown, president of theSt. Charles Noon Rotary Club,said the first year of the con-cert drew 600 attendees andthe second year drew almost900 people.

This year, they offered anafternoon concert that drewabout 400 people, accordingto Arcada personnel, alongwith a second concert at 7 p.m.Brown said he hoped to exceedthe more than $30,000 theyhelped raise last year for theorganizations.

The Rotary Club in the pastfive years has given $73,000 in

local scholarships and $43,000in local charitable giving ef-forts, Brown said.

He said he was excited topartner with a new organiza-tion this year – Operation Fi-nally Home – that helps buildhomes for wounded servicemembers and their families inthe St. Charles area.

And, with Veterans Dayaround the corner, the concerthonored veterans, and mili-tary men and women. Specialguest Wally Guzy, 97, a WorldWar II veteran who was in theArmy’s 90th Infantry Divisionand fought during the D-DayNormandy invasion, led theaudience in the Pledge of Al-legiance. Brown said specialguest John Wredling, a WorldWar II veteran who served inthe Army Air Corps, also wassupposed to be in attendance,but wasn’t feeling well.

An opening act also wasa new addition to this year’sconcert. Billy Croft & the 5Alarm opened for the Hen-house Prowlers, which haveperformed the past two years.Singer and guitar player BillyCroft, a Naperville firefighterwho lives in St. Charles, saidhe and his band members were

glad to be a part of the benefitconcert for the first time andhelp raise funds for the non-profits.

“They do a lot of goodthings for the community, andas a fireman, that fits in withwhat we do,” he said.

John Rabchuk, treasurerfor the River Corridor Foun-dation of St. Charles, said theconcert is one of the biggestfundraisers of the year forthe organization, which helpsmaintain and improve walk-ways and bike paths along theFox River corridor.

Rabchuk said members ofthe organization hope to usethe money raised to implementsome ideas they’ve culled fromother cities across the coun-try that surround rivers. Hesaid the idea for the annualconcert started with the Rev.Al Patten, a minister at Bak-er Memorial United Method-ist Church in St. Charles, whowas a “bluegrass aficionado,”and was also a member of theRiver Corridor Foundationand Rotary Club.

“[The concert] has alwaysbeen at the Arcada,” he said.“It’s a great way to showcaseSt. Charles.”

St. Charles East players show their disappointment as Lake Park celebrates its 1-0 victory in Saturday’s IHSA Class 3A Schaumburg Sec-

tional championship.

STC East upset in sectional finalBy KEVIN DRULEY

[email protected]

SCHAUMBURG – St. Charles Eastunleashed some of the best features ofits attack down the stretch of Satur-day’s 3A Schaumburg Sectional finalboys soccer match.

Talented finishers assembled infront of the net, upping the unpredict-ability factor on set pieces. In the runof play, speedy forwards blazed downthe flank and let fly.

Just as it had seven weeks ago, LakePark watched the skilled Saints at workand pushed to challenge and react.

The Lancers’ final gestures – trium-phant shouts and pumped fists – spokea mouthful about a 1-0 upset againsttop-seeded East.

“We have all the talent here, andall these guys play soccer year-round.We’ve played soccer our whole lives,”Saints senior defender Kevin Heinrichsaid. “I mean, it just [stinks] when yousee a team score one and pack it backin. But that’s what you’ve got to do toget the win. That’s what it is.”

Lake Park (20-2-3) earned the game’slone score with 27:13 remaining in thesecond half, as Lancers junior forwardOliver Horgan rose above traffic infront of the net to score off a header of a

Joe Keane corner kick.The goal came moments after East

goalkeeper Chris Lucatorto elevatedto deflect a Mike Catalano shot fromdistance over the crossbar, which trig-gered the set piece.

“It got whipped in, it was a great ballin and we just lost the match,” Hein-rich said. “They wanted it more on thatone, and you’ve just got to come outand win [the ball]. You’ve just got todo it.”

East (20-2-4) looked to take nothingfor granted in its bid to oust Lake Park.Players insisted the Saints’ 5-1 victorySept. 10 in Roselle was long forgotten,simply match No. 6 in an impressivestring of 21 straight unbeaten results tostart the season.

Try as they might to forget theirearlier success against the Lancers,though, the Saints know their streakwill define their season, which fell fourvictories short of a 3A state title. Whenthe unbeaten run ended Oct. 16 with a3-1 loss at Metea Valley – a team Eastthumped, 7-0, about five weeks earli-er – the Saints said they relearned theimportance of constant effort and un-impeded focus.

“We’ve lost twice this season, andboth games have been to teams thatwe’ve previously battered earlier

in the season. I hate to say it, but wepicked the worst day of the year to haveour most abysmal performance,” Eastcoach Paul Jennison said.

“It’s hard, because these guys arecapable of being the best team in state,and unfortunately, we didn’t even be-long on the same field as them today.They outworked us, they had more de-sire for every second ball. You knowwhat, at the end of the day, the bestteam walked out of here winners to-day, and I’ve got to hold my hands upand say it’s an absolute nightmare ithappened the way it did.”

Jennison and the Saints didn’t hesi-tate to credit Lake Park, which outshotEast, 12-6, in the first half before Eastenjoyed a 9-2 edge after intermission.

Catalano, Keane and Co. made it dif-ficult for the Saints to work anythingthrough the middle.

“We prepared for their quickness inpractice, working with our outsides,and we just got the defense mentallyprepared for this game,” said Lancerssenior goalkeeper Steven Mack, whoearned his third straight shutout.

“I always have confidence in myback line. Never really nervous withthem back there. I can always count onthem to help me out, and they came uphuge this game.”

Well, 3-1 ain’t too bad for open-ing night of the playoffs.Batavia, Kaneland and Marmion

move on.Geneva goes home.But worse than any team losing

a football game is a seriousinjury, so most importantly, bestwishes for Kaneland’s BrandonBishop, who was taken off thefield during the Hampshire win.Football-wise, you’ve got to fig-

ure things will get a lot tougherfor the Knights next week, whereJCA is pretty much a lock to bewaiting. That’s a semifinal oreven 5A championship-calibergame taking place in the secondround.No surprise, Batavia beat up

on the Barbs, but still has to besomewhat of a relief for Bataviato get that first one out of theway with what happened lastyear.Marmion laid the wood to

Fenton, and gets a very winnablesecond round game against aPrairie Ridge team that was 5-4entering the playoffs and hasinjury concerns at quarterback.Too bad about the Vikings.

They were a fun team with somemajor offensive firepower, butyou’ve got to play well AND playclean to beat a team like St. Pat-rick, and costly turnovers aren’tgoing to cut it. Still a very solidseason for the Vikings, and lotsof talent returning.On Saturday, instead of four

local home games as it was onFriday, it’ll be four road games,as St. Charles East, ACC, AuroraChristian and St. Francis all mustbe road warriors.Considering that, another 3-1

day for the locals Saturday wouldbe awful impressive.

FOOTBALL: IHSA CLASS 8A FIRST ROUND – STEVENSON 35, STC EAST 7

FOOTBALL: IHSA CLASS 3A FIRST ROUND – A. CHRISTIAN 24, IC CATHOLIC 3

Walgren, Aurora Christian turn tablesBy DENNIS D. [email protected]

ELMHURST – BrandonWalgren picked a good time tohave the game of his life.

The Aurora Christian se-nior threw a touchdown pass,returned an interception fora touchdown and had threekey tackles for losses from hissafety position in the Eagles’24-3 victory over IC CatholicPrep on Saturday in a first-round, Class 3A playoff gameat Lewis Field.

“It’ll go down as one of thegreat performances in Auro-ra Christian history by oneplayer,” Aurora Christiancoach Don Beebe said. “Whatcan you say? He ran the ballwell, he caught the ball well,he threw the ball well, and hetackled well. I mean, this kidwas all over the field.”

Walgren was in the rightplace at the right time to makethe single biggest play of thegame early in the third quar-ter.

Trailing 10-3, the Knights(6-4) took the opening kickoffof the second half and droveinside the Aurora Christian

5-yard line. On third-and-goalat the 3, Walgren tackled Ran-dy Leslie in the backfield fora loss of 3. IC Catholic coachBill Krefft elected to go for iton fourth down, but Walgrenintercepted Jack Copher’spass and returned it 97 yardsfor a touchdown.

“They were fourth-and-goal, and I was expecting thepass,” Walgren said. “It came,and I was right there. I justran it and just went [the dis-tance].”

Instead of potentially tyingthe game at 10, the Knightssuddenly found themselves ina two-touchdown hole.

“That was the play of thegame,” Beebe said. “That wasa big one because they weredriving. They were going tomake it a pretty good game,and who knows then?”

Junior Austin Bray re-turned to start at quarterbackfor the Eagles (7-3) after miss-ing three-plus games becauseof injuries.

He looked a little rusty ear-ly, hitting on just two of hisfirst five passes for five yardsand throwing an interception.So Beebe decided to shake

things up in the second quar-ter by going to the Wildcat for-mation with Walgren takingthe snaps.

Walgren ran for a shortgain on a first-down play, thenon second down he appearedto be looking to run again, butinstead dropped back and hitNoah Hagerty down the leftsideline for a 74-yard touch-down.

“Basically, I just go out tothe corner and kind of lullthem to sleep and then goright by them,” Hagerty said.“He just throws it up. Thatwas our new Wildcat forma-tion. We just introduced it thisweek.”

Hagerty also caught a 25-yard touchdown pass fromBray early in the fourth quar-ter to seal the victory, whichavenged a 48-6 loss threeweeks earlier on the samefield, when the Eagles weremissing a host of starters be-cause of an injury.

“This is a situation thatI’ve never experienced beforeas a coach or as a player withall these injuries, not knowingwho‘s going,” Beebe said. “It’sjust chaos in practice.”

STC East stung by StevensonBy JAY SCHWAB

[email protected]

LINCOLNSHIRE – St.Charles East football coachMike Fields made what heconsidered to be a cut-and-dried decision, declining apenalty to give Stevenson athird-and-9 rather than makeit second-and-14.

“I don’t know a coach inthe country that wouldn’t takethird-and-9, and then they hitit for a first down,” Fieldssaid. “That was the story ofthe game. It just kind of epito-mizes the game today.

“We had guys in positionto make great plays, and theirguys made them, and wedidn’t, and so they’ll move on.I wish them nothing but thebest. They’re a good footballteam.”

After playing stout de-fense on most first and seconddowns, the Saints’ defense

struggled to finish out seriesthroughout Saturday’s 35-7Stevenson win in the firstround of the IHSA Class 8Aplayoffs.

The sixth-seeded Patriots(8-2) seemed to hit anothergear when they needed con-versions to remain on thefield.

“They were very good re-ceivers,” East senior corner-back Scott Robak said. “I givemy hat’s off to them. Couldhave, would have, shouldhave. They were a very goodteam.”

Patriots quarterback Wil-lie Bourbon made a habit ofsaving his best moments forthird and fourth downs, withplenty of help from a skill-ful wide receiving corps ledby Cameron Green and MattMorrissey.

“I think they got threefourth-down conversions [inthe first half], and I think they

probably got another five orsix third downs – third-and-6,third-and-8,” Fields said.“Those wideouts are prettydarn good, and that quarter-back doesn’t have to be per-fect. He can just throw it upthere, and they’ll go get it.”

East (6-4) trailed, 21-0, latein the second quarter beforevisiting the red zone twice inthe final minutes of the half,coming up empty both times.

On the first occasion, Mor-rissey – a Michigan Staterecruit and the son of for-mer Bears linebacker JimMorrissey – edged in frontof Saints receiver BrannonBarry to intercept a JimmyMitchell pass at the Patriots’1-yard line.

“I think it was just a cross-ing route – a lot of teams runthat on the goal line,” Mor-rissey said. “Saw that, readit pretty well, and I made theplay on it.”

137Womanwho thanks veterans

finds it’s not always welcomeDear Abby: Recently, I

took a cue from my sisterand her career Navy hus-band.

They always make it apoint to thank anyone theysee in military uniformfor his or her service andsacrifice.

I am somewhat shyby nature. But I am sothankful to these men andwomen who fight for ourcontinued freedom that Istepped out of my comfortzone to verbalize my feel-ings and encourage thosewho cross my path.

Abby, the first andsecond thank-yous I offereddid not go well.

The first gentleman Ispoke to gave me a scornfullook and proceeded to tellme I should be thankful forALL military personnel –not just him – and espe-cially those who gave theultimate sacrifice of theirlives.

I felt 3 inches tall andvery embarrassed, but Ichalked it up to perhapshaving said thanks thewrong way, so I triedagain.

This time I thanked aWorld War II veteran. Irecognized him as a vet bythe emblem on the bill ofthe cap he was wearing.

His response was,“Didn’t have a choice – itwas the draft or jail.”

Maybe I’m not cut outfor verbalizing my thank-fulness, or maybe I’m doingit wrong.

Now my shyness hastaken over again. ShouldI silently offer a prayer ofthanks instead? – TwiceBitten In Washington

Dear Twice Bitten: Thefirst person you spoke tomay have lost some friendsrecently, which is why hespoke to you the way hedid.

Your response to theservice member’s state-ment should have been:“Of course you are right.And I AM grateful. But youare here, which is why I’mexpressing my thanks toYOU.” Period.

As to the WWII vet who

entered the service onejump ahead of the law –give him marks for honestyin admitting his reason forentering the military wasless than patriotic.

But please don’t stopoffering thanks. What youexperienced was some badbeginner’s luck, but eachtime you express yourgratitude, the odds willimprove.

Dear Abby: A little over ayear ago, my husband andI were pulled over after aday on our boat. We hadbeen drinking.

My husband wascharged with a DUI, wentthrough everything thatwas required and decidedto stop drinking. I am veryproud of him. Going toAA meetings has kept himstrong, and he has becomea better person.

I, on the other hand, liketo relax with a beer oncein a while, but if I do, I feelguilty. My husband saysit’s OK, but I feel it mighttempt him.

Am I doomed not to beable to drink anymore tosupport his sobriety, orcan I have a beer once ina while and hope he haslearned to cope? Is havingan occasional beer selfish?– Needs A Drink In NewYork

Dear Needs A Drink: Whensomeone describes notimbibing alcohol as being“doomed” and signs off as“needs a drink,” I suspectthat the individual may bealcohol-dependent to somedegree.

If there is any chancethat your sober husbandmight crave alcohol if hesees you having a beer,then do it when you’re notin his presence.

I call that being consid-erate and “sacrificing” forthe greater good.

When you havethem, do not let go

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

P.G. Wodehouse, my favoriteauthor, said, “Golf, like measles,should be caught young.”

He could have also addedbridge to that sentence. Andsometimes when you havethe opponents caught, do notlet them escape – double andextract a penalty.

One aspect of that will be mytheme this week. Opener bidsone of a suit and the next playerdoubles. What does responder’sredouble mean?

He promises at least 10 high-card points and denies four-cardor better support if partneropened in a major, and deniesfive-card or better support ifpartner bid a minor.

After this redouble, thesimplest rule is that either theopening side plays the contractor the intervening side playsin something doubled – as intoday’s deal.

When South doubles, Westshould smell blood. He redou-bles, planning to double any-thing the opponents try. Here,maybe North should immediate-ly bid one no-trump as he doesnot have four cards in an unbidsuit. But one no-trump doubledcan cost 1,100.

Against two clubs doubled,West leads the spade queen,then shifts to the diamond 10.

East wins that trick andswitches to a trump, ducked toWest. He leads another diamondand East returns his secondtrump. West wins and plays athird diamond, East taking thetrick and switching to the hearteight. West wins and now hasa hard play to find. If he leads atrump into South’s ace-queen,the penalty is also 1,100. Any-thing else and declarer escapesfor “only” 800.
