2 Anti-heroinmessage of Chris’Walk offers hopeBy BRENDA [email protected]

BATAVIA – Small crowdsmoved among the vendorsand silent auction items at theBatavia Riverwalk Saturdayafternoon while a live bandplayed. Some ran a 5K, andothers walked a mile.

The sixth annual Chris’Walk Against SubstanceAbuse is a remembrance ofVicky Foley’s son Chris, whodied of a heroin overdose at 27in 2007. But it is an awarenesscampaign, a call to action anda place where those affectedby addiction can get support.

Foley, of St. Charles, hoststhe walk so other familieswould not have to suffer thesame loss she has.

Speakers included KaneCounty Sheriff Pat Perez andCoroner Rob Russell – and re-covering heroin addict PennyHammersley, 32.

“By the grace of God, thisMonday, I’ll have a year so-ber,” Hammersley said as thecrowd applauded. “This hasaffected me since I was 13. Itdoesn’t just affect me. It af-

fects my family, my friends,everything I do. This drug,this disease, does not discrim-inate. It doesn’t matter whatyour background is, whereyou come from or what yourbackground is, if you’re rich,poor, homeless, good family,bad family, abuse, support,love, hate. If it has you, it willdestroy you. It takes yoursoul.”

Hammersley, of DeKalb,said she found support in a12-step program. Her messagefor other addicts is, they arenot alone and help is avail-able.

Perez praised Foley forbringing so many together tobring awareness to the prob-lem of heroin addiction. KaneCounty has tallied 10 heroinoverdose deaths so far this

year.“Our goal is to eradicate

heroin, methamphetamines,cocaine – the drugs that arejust ravaging us,” Perez said.“And as hard as we fight thiswar, as much as we are look-ing out for each other, it’sreally sad if you read in thenewspapers to see that DuP-age County, our next-doorneighbor is averaging oneoverdose death a week so farthis year. … Lake County isbeing ravaged. Will County isbeing ravaged.”

Perez said his office contin-ually tries to educate the pub-lic about heroin abuse.

“The thing that is disap-pointing to me, personally, ishow many seminars for par-ents throughout Kane County,in targeted areas that have thehighest heroin use rate and …and 20 parents show up,” Pe-rez said. “And we know it’s anepidemic. And It just breaksour hearts that there is notmore involvement.”

Perez described heroin as ascourge that “knows no socio-economic bounds. The drugdoesn’t care who you are,

how much money you make,what family you come from.And we need to get people tounderstand, we can stop this –but it’s going to take an effortby all of us.”

As a retired sergeant fromDuPage County, Russell saidhe knows how important drugeducation is in curbing hero-in use.

“I have some ideas, butI need some more,” Russellsaid. “I hope you will give mea call.”

Valerie Kommu, 35, ChrisFoley’s sister , said shehopes the annual event edu-cates other families so theywould not go through whather family did during herbrother’s 10-year battle withaddiction.

“We can celebrate his lifeby helping pass on the torchto other families that needhelp with addiction,” Kommusaid. “Pretty much everyoneknows somebody who hasan addiction. But sometimesthey’re embarrassed, and it’snothing to be embarrassedabout. ... We’re doing this tospeak out.”

‘Chopped’ competition a big hit at Sugar Grove Corn BoilBy AL LAGATTOLLA

[email protected]

SUGAR GROVE – A huge,metal corn “trophy” hungaround Barret Ekle’s neckSaturday, as the 23-year-old fu-ture culinary student receivedapplause and congratulationsat John Shields ElementarySchool on Saturday afternoon.

Ekle emerged as the win-ner of the first Chopped Cook-ing Contest at the Sugar GroveCorn Boil festival, one of thehighlights of a packed secondday of the festival, which tookplace near the school, at 85 S.Main St., Sugar Grove. Com-petition such as Chopped andanother cooking contest werestaged inside the school.

The festival welcomedcrowds Friday through Sun-day.

Ekle’s was one of 10 entriesin “Chopped,” in which con-testants gathered Saturdaymorning at Jewel to receivefive ingredients that had tobe included in the submitted

meal – skirt steak, oranges, el-ephant garlic, Yukon potatoesand beets. Other ingredientscould be used, but partici-pants were judged on how wellthey used the five that weremandatory.

Ekle made “a very simpleskirt steak,” fresh-squeezedorange juice, potato salad andred velvet cupcakes.

“It’s obviously a compli-ment,” he said after winningthe event.

A lively crowd of a few doz-en people crowded the multi-purpose room of the school forthe event, pleasing organizers.Contestants took home theingredients in the morningand brought them, ready tobe judged, to the school in theafternoon. Three judges sam-pled each creation.

While that event was goingon inside the school, the restof the festival was rocking onan unseasonably cool week-end, with highs in the mid-60s. There was a long – butfast-moving – line for tickets

to carnival rides, which werefull with youths and teens.On the main stage, set up onthe north end of the festival,the Waubonsee Steel Drumsplayed Adele’s “Rolling in theDeep,” as the first featuredperformers of the day on Sat-urday.

In the Kids Zone, youthslined up for free carnival-stylegames, such as buckets, a cat-apult game and a ring toss.Those successful – and quite afew who almost were – walkedaway with prizes. That area,too, had a stage, with eventssuch as an ice cream eatingcontest and performances by“Those Funny Little People”and Ronald McDonald.

Craig Martin walked outof the ice cream contest witha smile, wearing a first-placemedallion. Martin worse ashirt that read Crossfit SugarGrove, one of several people atthe festival promoting the newbusiness opening at 760 Heart-land Drive in the village. Mar-tin, whose wife, Rebecca, is

the owner of the gym, stressedthat he worked out earlier inthe day, which helped himjustify eating four small cupsof Colonial ice cream to comeaway as the winner. He saidhe hoped to one day tackle theColonial’s signature “kitchensink.”

“I love ice cream,” he said.“I could eat it every day.”

There were vendors andcrafters on the south end, andlines of food vendors on thenorth end. The food vendorline led to the area in whichcorn – and brats and hot dogs– were being served.

Earlier in the day, the tra-ditional Corn Boil cookingcontest brought out contes-tants who prepared entries inthree categories – light affair,main affair and baked affair.Among them was JonathanHanks, who said he just movedto Sugar Grove last week fromHouston. Originally from Lou-isiana, his shrimp and gritsdish was a hit and took firstplace. He said he was thrilled

to do so well in the event.“It’s a big deal here, obvi-

ously,” said Hanks, who saidhe was ready to enjoy the restof the festival.

Another contestant, Shir-ley Emory, a 12-year SugarGrove resident, came awaywith two second-place awards– for her heavenly corn pud-ding and “Christy’s VeryChocolate Bacon Cake.” Shehad two first-place finisheslast year, but she was happyto even just be there on Satur-day.

“I’ve waited all year forthis,” she said.

After the traditional con-test, organizers began prepa-rations for Chopped. The en-tries were sponsored, and thefield was made up of a diversegroup of participants.

Ekle, the winner, soon willenter cooking school. In sec-ond place was Laura Perry.The third-place finisher wasthe team of Sugar Grove res-ident Mary Elliott and herbrother, Doug Nerge.

Crowds pack downtownGeneva for arts fairBy ASHLEY [email protected]

GENEVA – DeKalb resi-dent Gretchen Bisplinghoffcame to the Geneva Arts Fairon Sunday with a purpose: tofind a unique birthday giftfor her longtime friend in En-gland.

“I hope I find it,” she said.Bisplinghoff was among

the thousands of people whospent the weekend stroll-ing the four blocks of ThirdStreet that were lined withphotography, paintings, jew-elry, sculptures and, amongother items, clothing.

Although unseasonablycool – temperatures were inthe 60s – organizers creditedthe fall-like weather for thepacked streets in the morn-ings and the crowds that lin-gered after the 5 p.m. closingtime, at least on Saturday.

“You can’t see a blankspot on the street right now,”Laura Rush, communica-tions manager of the GenevaChamber of Commerce, saidSunday morning.

The chamber annuallypresents the juried arts fair,which draws an estimated20,000 people to downtownGeneva, Rush said. She not-ed it’s always a plus to intro-duce out-of-town visitors tothe city as well as bring inbusiness for local shops andrestaurants.

“You can’t help but win,”she said.

New this year, the GenevaArts Fair offered a patron ofthe arts program, Rush said.She said participants could

pre-purchase coins valued at$50 and use them to buy art-work.

It was a way of showingartists that, she said, “Gene-va’s behind you.”

Erin Melloy, who hasworked with the chamber onthe fair since its beginning,said it appeared people were

buying.“We’re seeing a lot of art-

work walking out,” she said.First-time Geneva Arts

Fair participant Jill Millersaid she was lucky and happyher wearable art was featuredin the event, which broughta good flow of shoppers andlookers to her booth.

“It’s a really good, qualityshow,” the Urbana residentsaid after finishing a conver-sation with an attendee.

Standing at the side of hermixed media display, ValerieLorimer of Naperville saidshe enjoys watching people’sreactions to her work.

Sometimes, she said ,

they see things in it that shehadn’t.

While Lorimer has par-ticipated in art fairs for onlysix years, she said she hasalways loved art. To her, shesaid, creating is like breath-ing.

“I have to do it every day,”she said.

SYCAMORE – Ozzie Guillen is capa-

ble of teaching Kane County Phantoms

baseball players expert nuances about the

game, but his famously colorful approach

to the English language doesn’t make

much of an impression.

“We’re all like 16-, 17-, 18-year-olds, so

it’s nothing we’ve never heard before,”

said Mike Lee, a Burlington Central se-

nior from rural St. Charles. “So he can

kind of be himself out here. He keeps it

professional, though.”

This summer has provided equal parts

baseball development and entertainment

value for the Phantoms 17U travel team,

which is coached by Oney Guillen, Ozzie’s

son, with plenty of help from other mem-

bers of the Guillen clan, including the for-

mer White Sox and Marlins manager.

Ozzie Guillen has been a semi-regular

guest in the Phantoms’ dugout during

the summer, including Saturday, as the

Phantoms won a pair of games in their

season-capping tournament in Sycamore.

“I’m a family man,” Ozzie Guillen said.

“I love to be around my kids. You have an

opportunity to help these kids get better

and play the game, have some fun, and I

don’t mind. I love it. I have a great time.”

After managing the Sox to the 2005

World Series championship, chirping en-

couragement to the Kane County Phan-

toms on a July afternoon in Sycamore

would seem like quite the come-down, but

Ozzie Guillen said seeing baseball at the

grass-roots level reinforces the purity of

the game.

“I think the parents sacrifice more

than the kids,” said Ozzie Guillen, now

49 years old and sporting a graying beard.

“The parents should be barbecuing right

now, having fun someplace, but they

bring the kids here to play baseball, and

we appreciate that. As a baseball fan and

a baseball fanatic, we appreciate that

when you see a parent try and spend time

with their kids in baseball.”

Oney Guillen, 27, is in his first summer

coaching the Phantoms, having accepted

an offer from the White Sox-loving Co-

lombe family – Ernie and his son, Steve –

to break into the coaching ranks with the

Phantoms. Oney Guillen has been around

Major League Baseball most of his life

through his dad, but said he missed the

sport after transitioning to the insurance

business the past couple years.

“The first question I asked was is if the

guys are serious about baseball,” Oney

Guillen said. “They said they were seri-

ous and they got some talent, so I jumped

right into it.”

Oney Guillen’s brothers, Ozzie Jr., and

to a lesser extent Ozney, also have been

around the Phantoms this summer, along

with assistant coach Jon Basinski.

The Phantoms seldom have time forpractice, so Oney Guillen said he’s hadto “teach on the fly” at their weekendtournaments. He considers himself a laid-back coach.

“Baseball’s supposed to be fun – justdon’t disrespect the game, run the bas-es hard and be coachable,” said OneyGuillen, who joked that he appreciateshis dad popping for gas when they drivewest together from the city. “It’s easier tocoach kids when they’re willing to learn.Nobody has an attitude or anything likethat, so that’s the best. It’s easier to coachkids than it is guys who make millions ofdollars.”

Oney Guillen made waves during hisfather’s tenure in Chicago for his outspo-ken commentary about Sox matters viaTwitter, with many fans and media mem-bers opining that Oney overstepped hisbounds.

Ozzie Guillen said he didn’t lectureOney to keep a lower profile.

“If Oney was 10 years old, then I’d saysomething, but he was 25, 28 – he’s a base-ball fan,” Ozzie Guillen said. “I think he’sa baseball fan, and I think everybody hastheir own opinion about stuff. I think thetweeting thing, I think people overreact, Ithink the media overreacted a little bit.”

During much of Saturday’s gameagainst Force Elite, Ozzie Guillen sat on abucket just outside the Phantoms’ dugout,taking breaks from scrolling through hiscellphone to offer occasional words of en-couragement. He joined Phantoms play-ers and coaches in enthusiastically salut-ing catcher Logan Haring for a nimble,against-the-backstop stab of a foul popupto end the game.

Haring’s father, Klent, said he’s longbeen a big Ozzie Guillen fan. Referringto Guillen’s uptempo diction and pro-nounced accent, Haring said he loved“trying to listen to him” talk during hisdays with the Sox. Haring, of DeKalb, saidthe players have been thrilled to havesuch extraordinary access to a formermajor league player and manager.

“Ozzie’s come early and he’s thrownbatting practice to the boys, he’s pulled

some off to the side and instructed them

a little bit on their hitting and fielding,”

Klent Haring said. “The boys, they dig it.”

Lee, also a Sox fan, certainly does, and

thinks the feeling might be mutual.

“I think he does like helping out the

local kids,” Lee said. “I’m not saying any

of us are going to reach the minors or any-

thing like that but I think he likes seeing

young players. I mean, he watched his

sons grow up, and he obviously helped

his sons with baseball. So there’s got to be

somewhere deep down that he enjoys it. I

mean, he’s a dad.”

Ozzie Guillen left a souring relation-

ship with the Sox to manage the Marlins

in 2012, but he was fired after one turbu-

lent season in Miami.

These days, he works a couple days

a week as an analyst for ESPN Deportes

and on other ESPN studio shows, such

as “Baseball Tonight” and “First Take.”

He keeps close tabs on Major League

Baseball given his role with ESPN, and

said he still pulls for the Sox, citing his

relationship with current manager Robin

Ventura.

“I wish they’d be playing better for

him,” Ozzie Guillen said.

On balance, though, he has plenty of

newfound free time on his hands, as evi-

denced by his involvement with the Phan-

toms, who have five Kaneland players on

their roster.

“A lot of people said, ‘Well, when you

don’t have baseball anymore, you might

die,’ – no, I’m having fun,” Ozzie Guillen

said. “I have plenty of time with my fami-

ly, I go to Venezuela a lot, travel a lot. It’s

been great so far.”

Oney Guillen feels similarly about the

dawn of his coaching career. He said he’ll

play any future in baseball by ear, but

considers his debut with the Phantoms to

have been worthwhile.

“I said [at the start of the summer] I

know a lot about baseball but I’m learn-

ing as well, so let’s all learn together and

hopefully make this a good summer,”

Oney Guillen said. “It’s crazy how fast it’s

gone by.”

COACH SLY’S

CORNER

KANE COUNTY U17 PHANTOMS

Page 5: KCC-7-29-2013

BOURBONNAIS – As we

get to know Bears coach Marc

Trestman, we know that as

much or more than anything,

he wanted to be a head coach

in the NFL.

Now that every syllable

he utters is examined and

analyzed by players, media

and fans alike, it is impossible

not to wonder if this is what

he bargained for.

We think we know Jay Cut-

ler. Certainly no member of

the Bears organization has a

brighter spotlight on him than

the cantankerous quarterback

and his expiring contract as

Bears nation wonders and

worries over whether he fi-

nally will join the ranks of the

NFL’s elite signal callers.

But those won’t be the

stories of the 2013 season.

If the offensive line doesn’t

make a quantum leap out of

the quicksand that it’s been

mired in over the past four

seasons, there is little Trest-

man, Cutler or anyone else

will be able to do to improve

the Bears’ fortunes.

To their credit, general

manager Phil Emery and

Trestman have taken giant

steps to shuffle the deck.

Chris Williams, Lance

Louis and Gabe Carimi are

fading memories. J’Marcus

Webb and James Brown have

new addresses on the line. Pro

Bowler Jermon Bushrod and

veteran starters Matt Slauson

and Eben Britton have been

brought in to compete, and

veteran backup Jonathan

Scott has resigned.

Kyle Long and Jordan

Mills were drafted in the first

and fifth rounds, respective-

ly. Only Roberto Garza and

his backup, Edwin Williams,

remain where they were at the

end of last season.

There will be no quiz be-

cause by opening day at least

two and possibly three or fourof those players will be gone,and it’s quite possible Britton,Scott, Long and Mills could becompeting at positions otherthan where they’re lining upright now.

On the line’s early prog-ress, Bushrod reportedSunday after the team’s firstpractice in pads: “It takes alittle time. I was jittery earlyand you have to rememberto not be too aggressive, slowdown and let the game cometo you.”

Bushrod added: “It’s every-thing we have to get better at,all facets of the game. Whenyou put in a complex offenselike we have, it’s going to taketime.”

Commenting on the Long’sprogress, Bushrod said of therookie: “He’s a gifted kid, youcan see it. But it took me aseason or two to figure every-thing out.”

Unfortunately that’s timethis Bears roster doesn’t have.

From Trestman to Bushrodthrough Long, Brown and oth-ers, the recurring theme hasbeen: It’s going to take time,but they hope to be ready thisyear.

OK. I’m a patient man, buthere are a couple facts anda few more opinions we justcan’t ignore. After starting 48straight games over the pastthree seasons in New York,

the Jets didn’t want Slauson

back. Britton was the 39th

player selected in the 2009

draft and started 24 games

at tackle for the Jaguars and

eight at guard. He was far

more productive at tackle; the

Bears have him at guard, and

again, the Jaguars didn’t want

him back at either position.

Long has extremely limited

football experience, period.

He looks to me to be a proto-

typical left tackle. Because

he is left-handed, he probably

fits better at left guard, yet he

is on the right side, for now.

Mills looks like a college tack-

le who, like Brown, could be

better suited at guard as a pro,

and if Webb takes hold of the

right tackle spot, Scott could

compete at guard, too. And

Webb is, well, Webb.

We all have heard the one

about the more things change,

the more they stay the same.

I’m not saying that’s the case

here, yet. But among Slauson,

Britton, Scott, Brown, Webb,

Long and Mills, if at least

three don’t become something

more than backups or rejects,

this new age of Bears offense

will look an awful lot like the

old.

Grandmother’s empty houseneeds family’s full attention

Dear Abby: My grand-mother made the decision tomove to an assisted-livingfacility two years ago. Sheleft most of her belongingsin her farmhouse, which hassat empty since then. Herhealth is fine, so she shouldbe around for many years.It has already been decidedthat my dad will inherit thehouse, but he doesn’t wantto live there anytime soonbecause of the location. (It’sway out in the country.)

I’m afraid the house isgoing to become unlivable ifit sits for years without util-ities or anyone taking careof it. Dad mows the grass,but that’s about it, and all ofGrandma’s belongings arecollecting dead flies. Nobodyseems to care but me. Dadhas three siblings, andbetween them there are ninegrandchildren. How do I getmy family to take care ofGrandma’s house? – Consci-entious In Kansas City, Kan.

Dear Conscientious: Yourfather may be inheriting thehouse, but is he also inherit-ing all of the contents?

If the answer is no, thereshould be a family discus-sion about the dispositionof the furniture, clothing,linens and any possible heir-loom items.

I agree with you thatnothing good can happen tothe house if no one is payingattention. It’s an invitationto theft or vandalism. Thehouse should be cleaned anddusted. The furniture shouldbe covered with sheets tokeep it as free of dust aspossible. Someone shouldcheck the place at least oncea month.

If no one else in the fami-ly is willing to step up to theplate and help out, becauseyou are conscientious, itlooks like you’re elected.If it’s too much for you,perhaps a caretaker couldbe hired to watch over, orpossibly live in, the house.

Dear Abby: My son, “Joe,”is 19, a high school graduateliving at home with his dadand me until he leaves forcollege next year.

He will be paying histuition, and we are charginghim a token rent ($100/

month) while he’s not inschool. He eats dinner withus most nights, and I usuallydo his laundry. He has apart-time job.

This has been workingout fine except for onething. Joe has a longtimegirlfriend, and he has beenspending some nights ather house. (She lives alone.)We haven’t forbidden thisbecause he’s an adult, andI worry that if we say no hewill move in with her. How-ever, we are not comfortablewith his spending nightsthere.

Part of our objection iswe don’t like the example itsets for his 13-year-old sis-ter, but aside from that wedon’t think it’s a good idea,although we can’t say why.

We know they’re sex-ually active regardlessof who sleeps where. Arewe old-fashioned, or is itreasonable to ask him not tospend the whole night withhis girlfriend? – Old-SchoolParent

Dear Old School: Becauseyou have misgivings aboutyour son spending thenight at his girlfriend’s,you and your husbandshould talk to him about ittogether. Although he is anadult, I agree that what’sgoing on sends a wrongmessage to his youngersister who, unless you talkto her about your familyvalues, will think this isacceptable.

You should also taketime to think through whyyou are uneasy about whatyour son is doing.

If it has anything todo with worry about anunplanned pregnancy, yourhusband might be able toget through to him betterthan you can. If he intendsto complete his college ed-ucation, becoming a fathercould slow him down, if notend it.

Make the best of

awkward hand

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Daniel Radcliffe, who becamefamous playing Harry Potter,said, “I think any guy who says,‘I’ve never had an awkward mo-ment with a girl’ is a liar.”

Any bridge player who sayshe’s never had an awkwardmoment at the table is a liar. Thewinners, though, find a way tosurvive when faced with difficultdecisions. This week we aregoing to study hand-dealt layoutsthat produced problems for theplayers.

First, look at the South handin today’s diagram. What wouldbe your opening bid?

Hands with 4-4-4-1 distributioncan be a nuisance. But with thisone, a good general guidelineis to treat king-singleton as if itwere king-doubleton. So, planon bidding no-trump. It wouldnot be unreasonable to open twono-trump if you would be prom-ising a good 20, 21 or 22 points.But I think you should upgradebecause of all the aces and kings.Open two clubs, planning to rebidtwo no-trump.

Here, whatever you do, youshould end in three no-trump.

West leads his fourth-highestdiamond five: seven, three (low-est from a tripleton when unableto play a nine or higher), king.What happens after that?

You have only six top tricks:two spades, one heart, onediamond and two clubs. It wouldbe nice to find the spade finessewinning, but you need to get intothe dummy.

Cash the club ace, then leada low club toward the dummy.Here, West has no defense. Atthe table, he won with his clubqueen and played three rounds ofdiamonds. South discarded threehearts (East threw one heart),cashed the club jack, and ran thespade jack to take nine tricks:three spades, one heart, twodiamonds and three clubs.
