KANEVILLE – Kris Conleywas vacationing in Washingtonstate in 1997 when her now-latehusband, Bruce, told her hebought the farm – and he meantit quite literally.

The nearly 10-acre propertyat Main Street and Daubermanroads in Kaneville Townshipwas theirs.

Conley said her husbandthought it was too beautiful tokeep to themselves.

“We have to be able to shareit,” she recalled him as saying.

They did. Over time, thefarmland would become theirhome as well as a venue forweddings and Conley Out-reach Community Servicesprograms, such as a children’sgrief camp.

But now, four years afterher husband died, Conley hasdecided to sell the property. Ata Farewell to the Farm eventSunday, she said he would un-derstand, as he knew each ofthe things he started had a lifes-pan.

“As much as I would love tokeep it going, I can’t,” Conleysaid. “I think it’s time.”

Carol Alfrey, the executivedirector of Conley Outreach,

said it is hard to let go of a placethat has such a special feel, butthe loss of the farm won’t meana loss in programming.

“The programs will go on,”she said.

“They will continue becauseI think people need them,” Con-ley said.

As the sun shone brightlySunday afternoon and Alfreyprepared a fire for s’mores,Conley greeted visitors to thefarm, thanking them for com-ing out.

Among them were Tom andMary Fink of Batavia, whose12-year-old son died 10 yearsago from cancer. Tom Fink saidthey have attended grief pro-grams at the farm, includinga candle lighting event held inDecember.

“It’s a meaningful ceremo-ny,” he said, noting attendeeswould then meet inside Con-ley’s house and talk.

As of Sunday, Conley said nopotential buyers have looked atthe property, which will host itslast wedding next weekend.

While giving a tour of theproperty, she shared some ofher husband’s ideas for it, suchas making the house into a re-treat for hospice patients.

“He touched so many lives,”she said.

BATAVIA – The multicol-ored wig Lauren Schmidt woreon Saturday added about threefeet to her 5-foot, 6-inch frame,but surprisingly, it did notweigh her down.

“It was more hot than any-thing,” said Schmidt, a GlenEllyn resident.

Schmidt walked a runwaywith Marcy Thomas of DeKalbas they wore designs from Au-rora artist Danielle Dobiesduring the third annual On-som’ bel fundraiser. The eventwas held Saturday at WaterStreet Studios, 160 S. Water St.,in downtown Batavia.

The first On-som’ bel washeld in 2012 at the studios, andthe event gets bigger everyyear, said Laura Spicer, eventchairwoman and Water StreetStudios board member. Theevent, which raises money forthe nonprofit Water Street Stu-dios and its programs, includeda gallery show, a silent and liveauction, a dance party with DJand, of course, a fashion show.

The fashion show featuredthe work of 10 artists worn by19 models under the theme “Av-enue + Passage.” They walkeda dramatically lit runway ina loading dock at the studioswhile the music of groups suchas Inner City and the Sex Pis-tols filled the space.

Chicago resident LisaGagne and her husband, Mat-thew, were two of the show’sroughly 200 attendees. Gagne’semployer, Robis Marketing, isone of the show’s sponsors, butshe said she had to pay her ownway to get in. The show is sopopular that all the company’spasses already were taken, shesaid.

“It was really unexpected,but very, very entertaining,”said Gagne, who also attendedlast year’s show. “Some of thethings they did were amazing.”

Among Gagne’s favorite

pieces were the two designsfrom Water Street Studios res-ident artist Patricia Davoustof Warrenville. The looks wereawarded Best of Show by eve-ning’s end.

Davoust’s models wereJared Protz of Aurora andone of her daughters, CelesteDavoust-Jenkins of Warren-ville, depicting cave paintingsand the influence of humanthroughout time. Davoust-Jen-kins said she had plenty ofbutterflies leading up to Satur-day’s show, her first as a mod-el, but Protz told her to lookstraight ahead on the catwalkand not break character.

It took four hours to get herrunway ready, three of whichwere spent just on her hair.Her locks were spraypainted agrayish silver and pipe clear-ers were placed inside of it so itwould stand upright and looklike a stalactite, which formsfrom calcium salts and hangs

like a icicle inside a cave.Davoust collaborated with

Stephen Wake, owner of FocasHair Salon in St. Charles, tocomplete the hairdo. She alsoworked with her two modelsand another one of her daugh-ters, Madeline Davoust, to com-plete the choreography for theshow.

Dobies told Schmidt andThomas to act extravagant fortheir runway choreography.The black tulle petticoats thetwo models wore took abouta week to make, but the largewigs Dobies created for themtook three months to construct.

Dobies had a sculpture inthe first on-som’ bel show in2012 and worked behind thescenes at the 2013 show. Shewas thrilled to once again bepart of the fundraiser.

“To see your work cometo fruition and see the modelswearing it is so exiciting,” Do-bies said.

ST. CHARLES EAST INVITATIONAL

STC East erupts in 2nd half, wins tournamentBy THOMAS DELVES

[email protected]

ST. CHARLES – The St.Charles East boys soccer teamdefeated Glenbard North inconvincing fashion to win itshome tournament Saturday,scoring five unanswered goalsin the second half for the 6-1victory.

The Saints (11-1-1) got onthe board first on a penaltykick by midfielder JordanMoore. The penalty kick wasset up by Saints’ midfield pres-sure, specifically Taylor Ortiz.The Saints’ pressure dominat-ed as the match unfolded.

“It’s a game of patience,”

East coach Paul Jennison said.“…The message was simple, ifwe are patient and we get one,we can get three or four.”

Patient the Saints were asthe second half featured goalsby Zach Manibog, Evan DiL-eonardi, Zachary Newman,Mitchell Dorsey and CollinSheehan.

The Saints beat Belvidere,5-1, and Marmion, 2-0, to reach

the championship match whileGlenbard North defeated Elgin2-1 and Plainfield Central 4-0.

Glenbard North’s LivreEmena was able to sneak agoal past goal keeper StevenOwens midway through thefirst half to tie the score at 1.

“At the end of the day we’reonly going to be productive asa group,” Jennison said, “Notone guy here is going to win

it alone.”Marmion (7-8-0, 2-1 Chica-

go Catholic League) and Elgin(6-7-1, 0-3 conference) squaredoff in the third-place contestin which Elgin emerged victo-ries on two early second-halfscores.

The goals came from sopho-more Olaitan Ajayi and seniorJuan Flores.

Elgin beat Plainfield Cen-tral while Marmion beat Belvi-dere to play in the third-placematch.

The Saints have a gruelingweek ahead. Tuesday theyhead to Larkin, Thursday theyare home against WheatonAcademy and Saturday they

face St. Charles North at home.“It’s obviously a big confi-

dence booster winning todaythe way we did against a qual-ity opponent,” Jennison said,“we know that coming in wegot three difficult games this(upcoming) week.”

While East gears up fortheir conference games, Mar-mion faces St. Francis onTuesday.

“We haven’t lost to St.Francis in a while and we’replaying them at home,” Mar-mion coach Ricky Del Torosaid. “We always play well athome.”

The Cadets have not lost ahome game in two seasons.

“It’s a game of patience. ... Themessagewas simple, ifwe are patient andwe get one, we can get three or four.”

FOOTBALL: RIVERSIDE-BROOKFIELD 45, WHEATON ACADEMY 21

Wheaton Academy football can’t keep up with Riverside-BrookfieldBy DEREK WOLFF

[email protected]

WEST CHICAGO – Withfans on their feet applauding,a new class of former athleticgreats went into the WheatonAcademy Hall of Fame in anuplifting halftime ceremonyduring Saturday’s footballgame against Riverside-Brook-field.

It was one of a few chanc-es the home fans got to cheeron the afternoon, as the War-riors were routed by River-side-Brookfield in a 45-21 de-feat, Wheaton Academy’s firstof the season.

The Warriors (4-1, 0-1 Met-ro Suburban Conference West)had outscored opponentsby a combined total of 164-7

throughout their first fourgames but had no answers inthe contest for senior Bulldogsrunning back Matt Chapp, whohad three touchdowns on theday.

After trailing, 28-14, at thehalf, the Warriors fumbled theensuing kickoff at their 10-yardline, leading to a Bulldog fieldgoal.

Junior quarterback DavidThrasher lead Wheaton Acad-emy with three touchdownspasses on the day, includingone in the final minute of thegame, but the offense wasone-dimensional from the on-set with the rushing game rou-tinely snuffed out.

Riverside-Brookfield coachBrendan Curtin said his teamcame into the game hoping to

force the Warriors to move theball through the air.

“That was our game plancoming in,” Curtin said.“There are always risks in-volved. Our secondary had alittle bit of a rough time earlyon. They were able to hit uson some comeback routes andover the top but I think that’sthe nature of our defense.

“We came in to the gamewith the mindset that we’regoing to want to come in andbe attacking, blitz the quarter-back and they were going toneed to beat us through the air.That was the plan going intoit.”

The Warriors struggledto execute in key situationsthroughout the game, includ-ing a fourth-and-2 at the Bull-

dogs’ 6-yard line, trailing 38-14early in the fourth quarter.

Wheaton Academy coachBrad Thornton didn’t pull anypunches when discussing histeam’s inability to counter theBulldogs’ big plays in the game.

“We got our butts kickedtoday,” Thornton said. “Theycame out and they punchedand at times I thought theywere ready to punch back butat the end of the day we justdidn’t execute. That’s reallywhat I’ve challenged our guyswith.”

“A lot of the stuff that hap-pened today was poor execu-tion on their part. Some missedblocking assignments, somemissed tackles, fumbled theball a couple times. Just a gen-eral lack of execution, so we’ve

got to learn from it.”Senior receiver Dillon Ole-

son had one of the lone bigplays for the Warriors on theday, hauling in a 54-yard touch-down from Thrasher to cut thelead to 14-7 late in the secondquarter.

Oleson said he had workedon the play after practiceduring the week but said histeam needs to work harderto perform better next weekagainst Glenbard South.

“We have to forget about [to-day] first and foremost,” Ole-son said. “When we play Glen-bard South next week, whenwe get hit in the mouth likewe’re gonna, like we did thisweek, we have to come backand punch them back and keepmoving forward.”

PREP ROUNDUP

St. Francis football earns road shutout over Hales FranciscanKANE COUNTY CHRONICLE

CHICAGO – The St. Francisfootball team snapped a two-game losing streak, winning atHales Franciscan on Saturdaynight, 29-0.

“The defense played verywell,” St. Francis coach MikeFitzgerald said. “Hales has gotthose two tremendous Divi-sion I players and our guys dida good job containing them,playing good team defense andpursuing the football.”

St. Francis (3-2) led the Chi-cago Catholic League cross-over matchup at halftime, 19-0.Will Purdom, stepping into thefeatured back role after StevenFassnacht’s Week 3 injury,had a strong night in the Spar-tans’ ground game.

It was the defensive perfor-mance, though, that loomedlargest.

“[Hales] had a couple drivesthat threatened but I think forthe most part our guys did apretty good job of getting some

three-and-outs and reallykeeping the field position inour favor,” Fitzgerald said.

Singlemanwith full

housewants to dateDear Abby: I am a

35-year-old single man.Three years ago, I took

legal custody of my niece(who is now 8) to preventher from becoming a wardof the state.

Her parents were drugaddicts.

Shortly afterward, mymother moved in to helpme raise her, which isgreatly needed and appre-ciated.

The problem is, I hadto dramatically alter mylifestyle – no more stayingout late on weekendsor impromptu trips tovisit college buddies – andworst of all, an end todating.

I used to go out witha lot of women, but Ihaven’t been with anyonein more than two years.I didn’t like the idea ofbringing ladies aroundmy niece whom she mightnever see again.

It was easier to justgive up dating than todeal with her questionsand looks of confusion.She has had enoughinstability in her younglife, and I didn’t want toadd to it.

Now I’m starting to getlonely, and I’m not surehow to get back into thedating scene.

How would I explainmy living situation to apotential wife: “I have akid and my mother livingwith me, and that’s notgoing to change. Interest-ed?”

Abby, any thoughtsor suggestions would bewelcomed. – Lonely ByDesign In West Virginia

Dear Lonely: Explainyour living situation tothe women you meet inmuch the same way as youhave explained it to me.

You are taking care ofyour 8-year-old niece withthe help of your motherbecause if you hadn’tstepped up, she wouldhave become a ward of thestate.

Any mature womanwho is worth her salt will

respect that, just as I do.Immature women who areonly looking for a goodtime – or a meal ticket –will probably run in theopposite direction, whichis a good thing.

You won’t find whatyou’re looking for in barsas you may have done inthe past.

You would probablyhave better luck if youjoin a group like ParentsWithout Partners or asksome of your marriedfriends if they know some-one nice.

Dear Abby: My familyand I were watching apopular annual awardsshow recently.

Like most of these,this one included an “InMemoriam” segment inwhich was featured aslideshow of the photosand names of people fromthe field who had diedduring the year.

The segment was welldone and very meaning-ful.

When it was over andthe lights went back up,the audience clapped.My family applauded,too. That made me feeluncomfortable, so I didn’tjoin in.

What are your thoughtson applause at a memorialtribute? – To Clap Or NotTo Clap

Dear T.C.O.N.T.C.:Audiences clap for manyreasons – among them, aspontaneous gesture ofemotion or to show appre-ciation. (Some may do itbecause everyone else isdoing it.)

However, in thiscircumstance, it is notrequired or prohibited.As long as the applauseis sincere, I think it isappropriate.

When you have twounbalanced fits

Plato said, “He who does notdesire power is fit to hold it.”

This week, let’s continue ourlook at deals with two suit fits.

When you have two unbal-anced fits, say 5-3 and 6-2, whichshould you choose?

The guideline is: When allor most of the tricks must comefrom the two long suits, selectthe less evenly divided. Thismeans that 6-2 will be betterthan 5-3. (This is also one timewhen a 5-3 fit will be better thana 4-4.) That rule is doubly truewhen the breaks are bad or youhave relatively weak hands.

In today’s deal, North-Southwill be contemplating a sacrificeover four hearts, which wouldmake easily, West taking at leastthree spades, five hearts and twodiamonds. Should North-Southpick five clubs or five diamonds?

South’s first-round call wouldcause debate. Many expertswould advocate two no-trump,showing at least 5-5 in the unbidsuits. But some would prefer twodiamonds, bidding the longersuit first and planning to bidclubs next time (at the five-levelif necessary) to describe the 6-5.

This second plan worksbetter here, because if Southintervenes with two no-trump,North will prefer five clubs tofive diamonds. Note, though,that after two rounds of hearts,declarer is in big trouble. Thedefenders will keep playing onhearts, and five clubs doubledwill go down four.

In five diamonds doubled,though, West must lead an un-likely club at trick one to get thecontract down three.
