ST. CHARLES

Former post office demolishedBy ASHLEY [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – A formerpost office in St. Charles is beingdemolished to make way for anauto parts store.

The United States Postal Ser-vice recently sold the John E.Grotberg Post Office Buildingto St. Charles Partners LLC for$900,000, according to documentsfiled Aug. 6 with the Kane Coun-ty Recorder’s Office.

Located at 1405 W. Main St.near the Valley Shopping Center,the post office was named after

U.S. Rep. John E. Grotberg of St.Charles. Grotberg served in theIllinois General Assembly for 12years before he was elected to theU.S. House of Representatives in1984. He died in 1986 at age 61.

Soon, the post office will begone.

Robinette Demolition Inc. be-gan demolishing the structureAug. 6 and should be finishedsometime this week, said TraciHenderson, who is overseeingthe work.

Grobmar Investments, a Ver-non Hills-based retail shoppingcenter developer, intends to

develop the site for an O’Reil-ly Auto Parts store, said CarolThoen of the company.

“We’re still bidding out for ageneral contractor,” she said.

Based in Missouri, O’ReillyAuto Parts operates more than4,000 stores in 42 states and isadding 190 locations this year,according to its website.

Although it has storesthroughout the Chicago sub-urbs – including nearby WestChicago, Elgin and Aurora – itswebsite indicates this will bethe retailer’s first shop in theTri-Cities.

Picnic brings out GOP governor hopefulsBy BRENDA [email protected]

AURORA – About 700 peo-ple packed Chris Lauzen’s19th Annual Porky Picnicfundraiser Saturday at theVaughn Athletic Center,chowing down on barbecuechicken and – of course –pork chops.

Former state senatorLauzen, now in his firstterm as Kane County Boardchairman, shook hands, heldbabies and passed out hiscontact information to con-stituents as supporters andfriends talked, politiciansglad-handed and childrenplayed games.

The event was highlight-ed as a public way for theWarriors’ Watch Riders towelcome home his two sons,Marine helicopter pilot Capt.Ted Lauzen, 29, and Navy Lt.j.g. Hans Lauzen.

But it also allowed a lo-cal platform for Republicangubernatorial candidatesbusinessman Bruce Rauner,Illinois Treasurer Dan Ruth-erford and State Sen. KirkDillard, R-Hinsdale, to statetheir qualifications and askfor support in the March 18primary.

State Sen. Bill Brady,R-Bloomington, did not at-tend.

“I’ve never run for officebefore,” Rauner said. “Myyoungest daughter said, ‘Dad-dy, don’t run for governor. Idon’t want you to go to jail.’That’s a sad commentary onthe corruption in our state,but that’s one of the reasons Iwant to run.”

Rauner said his platformis more jobs, less taxes, moresupport for schools andschool choice, term limits ofeight years, running the statelike a business and breakingthe hold government unionshave on the state.

Rutherford said he won asa Republican for statewideoffice in a four-way race in2010. His Democratic oppo-nent was Robin Kelly – an Af-rican American woman fromChicago with an Irish lastname – as well as candidatesfrom the Green Party andLibertarian Party.

Rutherford said he is theonly Republican running

for governor who has won astatewide race with 50 per-cent of the vote, and with 22percent of the Chicago vote,“because we worked hard …[and] we went into communi-ties of diversity.”

“Every single constitu-tional officer in the State ofIllinois was a Democrat fromChicago,” Rutherford said.“And here I am, this conser-vative, Republican, white,male from Central Illinois,going to run statewide. … I’mtelling you this, because forthe election of 2014, we, asthe Republican Party, need tochange Springfield and put aRepublican in the governor’smansion.”

R u t h e r f o r d s a i d h ereached out to diverse pop-ulations in order to win thetreasurer post and that iswhat the Republican Partymust do, as well.

“We, as the RepublicanParty, have got to accept andembrace people of differentcolor and of different reli-gion,” Rutherford said. “Wedon’t need to need to changeour positions, we need to rep-resent our positions [to] …communities of diversity.”

Dillard, who is assistantSenate Republican Leader,said he is a conservative re-former in the General Assem-

bly who never voted for a taxincrease.

“I am tested, I am proven,”Dillard said. “I also once ran[the office] of the last cleancompetent governor of Illi-nois, Jim Edgar. … I careabout the future of this stategreatly. … We inherited a $1billion deficit and left a $1.5billion surplus when I wasthere, running the Edgar ad-ministration. We paid ourbills in 17 days and we hadan unemployment rate belowthe national average. … WallStreet increased our creditrating during that adminis-tration for the first time instate history.”

Dillard said he has a trackrecord of being able to make aDemocratic-led legislature dothings not in its DNA, “to livewithin its means.”

Dillard said during theEdgar administration, “Wemade Michael Madigan theminority leader and we cando it again.”

Madigan is the state’s ma-jority leader.

Lauzen said this year’sgathering was “the best ever”and especially meaningful forthe big welcome back for hissons. As to why he hosted thefundraiser, Lauzen said theproceeds will pay for politicalexpenses for when he is invit-

ed to various functions. If hedecides to seek another termas county board chairman,Lauzen said he also could usethe money for another cam-paign. But Lauzen said he isnot declaring himself for asecond term at this point.

County Board memberDeborah Allen, D-Elgin, saidshe appreciated Rutherford’scomments about expandingthe Republican base to in-clude “all kinds and colors.We are one country, one peo-ple. We must become moreinclusive, not less.”

County Board memberDrew Fraz, R-Elburn, said

Lauzen “is the only Republi-can candidate of either partyin Kane County that can pull900 people together year af-ter year.” Though organizersput the tally at 700, Frasz saidthe average is 700 to 900 eachyear.

“As for the governor can-didates, we have a growingmix of Republican candi-dates,” Frasz said. “I hope itdoesn’t get so big that theyneutralize each other.”

Frasz said among thethree candidates who spokethat night, he said he wouldlikely support Rauner.

“I personally really con-nect with Bruce Rauner,”Frasz said. “As a business-man and an employer, andsomeone who’s strugglinglike all businesses to stayafloat right now, I like hismessage. And I like the factthat he’s financially indepen-dent, so he isn’t bought by thespecial interests.”

Michael Foote of Genevasaid it was too soon to getbehind any of the governorcandidates. “Time will tell,”Foote said. “We’ll see whatshakes out.”

Lois Benson of Bataviasaid she liked all three candi-dates for governor.

“To hear the commentsand see the camaraderie, Ithink we can get some thingsgoing here that are good,”Benson said. Bob Moga of BigRock, a former county boardmember from the 1960s likedall the governor hopefuls.

“They’re all good – as longas they’re Republican,” Mogasaid.

Daly wins championship flightST. CHARLES MEN’S GOLF TOURNAMENT

Self-confidencespurs defendingchamp to repeat

By DENNIS D. [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – It wasn’t

exactly Joe Namath guaran-

teeing victory in Super Bowl

III, but Matt Daly’s comments

heading into the final week-

end of the St. Charles Men’s

Tournament at Pottawatomie

Golf Course made it clear he

fully expected to successfully

defend his title.

“I didn’t guarantee it,”

Daly insisted after defeating

Chris Thomas, 5 and 3, in the

championship match Sunday,

“but it was sure in my mind.

It was the focal point of the

week.”

After prevailing in a gru-

eling 20-hole match against

2011 champion Jon Woods in

the quarterfinals, Daly said he

was “going to win the show.”

He backed up that expression

of confidence with a dominat-

ing 7 and 5 victory over David

Lanciotti on Saturday and by

going 4-up on Thomas at the

turn.

“I had a lot of good starts

and really didn’t give anything

back,” Daly said. “Everything

was working.”

“My front nine I didn’t play

too well,” Thomas said. “The

back side, I started to turn it

around. I hit a few good shots

and that got me going again,

but it was just too big a defi-

cit to come back from at that

point.”

Daly, 28, was 5-up with five

holes to play, but Thomas put

a beautiful hooking approach

shot on the 378-yard, Par-4

No. 5 to within six feet of the

pin to win the hole and stay

alive.

Thomas ran into trouble

off the tee on No. 6, however,

going wide right of the trees

lining the right side of the fair-

way. His next two shots both

solidly connected with tree

trunks.

Meanwhile, Daly’s second

shot on the hole from the left

rough was one of the high-

lights of his round.

“That last 8-iron from a

buck-70 something … out of a

[bad] lie to five feet [from the

pin], yeah, I’ll take it,” Daly

said.

That shot basically meant

Thomas had to hole a chip shot

from about 25 yards to have

any chance of winning the

hole, which he was unable to

do. After missing a long bogey

putt attempt, Thomas conced-

ed the hole and the match.

Although he was confident

he could defend his title, Daly

still found something to be

surprised about in his week-

end play.

“I’m really in shock right

now,” he said. “I haven’t hit

the irons this well in a couple

years. The distance control to-

day was exemplary. That was

really what did it. I didn’t hit

it on line all that often, but the

distance was good.”

Daly’s next challenge will

come Aug. 26, when he tries to

qualify for the U.S. Mid-Am-

ateur Championship, which

will be played Oct. 5 to 10 in

Birmingham, Ala.

“Then, rest and relaxation,”

Daly said. “It’s been a lot of

fun playing in this. It’s been a

long three weekends, believe

me. It’s been a lot of sleepless

nights.”

COUGARS

By KEVIN [email protected]

GENEVA – Cougars right

fielder Jose Dore lingered to

lean against the dugout rail

after Saturday’s series open-

er against Cedar Rapids.

He wasn’t pondering the

game – the Cougars absorbed

enough in a 6-0 loss to the Ker-

nels – as much as catching his

first glimpse of the high-fly-

ing Jesse White Tumblers.

“It was awesome, man,”

Dore said. “I mean, big shout-

out to them. That’s pretty

amazing what they’re doing.”

Switch out a pronoun or

two, and Dore easily could

have been talking about Ker-

nels right-hander Jose Berri-

os, who limited the Cougars

to two hits in 7⅓ innings.

Dore notched the first of

those, a single to right field

with one out in the sixth, and

Dan Vogelbach had the other.

Had designated hitter Rock

Shoulders not drilled Berrios

on his throwing elbow with a

liner in the eighth, the Cou-

gars (47-68 overall, 17-30 sec-

ond half) might have saluted

Berrios further.

“He just had really great

command with his fastball,

you know. He kept us off-bal-

ance. He was going in and out,

kind of putting it where he

wanted it,” Dore said. “When

a pitcher is able to command

his fastball, you know, that

makes his other stuff even

better.”

Western Division-leading

Cedar Rapids (71-46, 31-17)

created more than enough

b r e a t h i n g

room for Berri-

os with a four-

r u n f o u r t h

i n n i n g t h a t

opened with a

throwing error

by third base-

m a n J e i m e r

Candelario.

The Kernels struck for

each of their runs against

loser Felix Pena with two

outs. Two additional errors

followed in the inning, which

also included a two-base wild

pitch that allowed Kernels

second baseman Jorge Polan-

co to score what ultimately

held up as the winning run.

“That was pretty ugly.

That was really ugly, actual-

ly,” Cougars manager Mark

Johnson said. “You had that

two-base wild pitch and then

after that the wheels fell off.

... You have those nights, but

just hope that you can salvage

something and leave it at that

one run, but we just kind of

threw it around a little bit.”

Not the Kernels. As it has

all season, crisp, fundamen-

tal play steered the club’s

success.

A season-high crowd of

11,979 attended the game,

eclipsing the previous mark

of 11,304 on July 4.

Most fans offered Berrios

a polite ovation as he left the

field.

Cedar Rapids recovered to

get the 1-5-3 putout of Shoul-

ders after the liner, but Berri-

os – who walked one against

seven strikeouts – was visi-

bly favoring the outside part

of his elbow.

“I t swel led up pretty

good,” Kernels manager Jake

Mauer said. “We’ll see how it

is tomorrow. It’ll probably be

pretty ugly, but we hope it’s

just a bruise.”

The Cougars, who still can

win or split their fourth suc-

cessive series with victories

Sunday and Monday, hope to

treat this result in a similar

manner.

Look away and move for-

ward.

“Just forget about this one

and come out tomorrow, play

our best,” Dore said. “We’re

trying to make a name for

ourselves and finish strong.”

Cubs’ official: Bryant decision loomsBy KEVIN DRULEY

[email protected]

S p e a k i n g o n A M - 1 2 8 0

WBIG on Saturday, Tim Wilk-

en, Cubs special assistant to

the president and general

manager, said a decision on

promoting first-round pick

Kris Bryant from Short-A

Boise is imminent.

With just less than a month

remaining in the minor

league regular season, Kane

County or Advanced-A Dayto-

na are the likely destinations

for Bryant, a third baseman

drafted second overall out of

San Diego in June.

“I think we’re going to dis-

cuss that sometime next weekand see what we think is prob-ably the best plan for him,”Wilken told listeners.

Three mem-b e r s o f t h eC u b s ’ 2 0 1 3d r a f t c l a s sh a v e j o i n e dt h e C o u g a r ss i n c e J u n e ,highlighted bysecond-round

left-hander Rob Zastryzny,who pitched three innings ofscoreless relief Friday.

Fourth-round righty Ty-ler Skulina and infielderGiuseppe Papaccio, an 18th-round selection, came to Ge-

neva earlier this summer af-

ter opening their pro careers

at Boise.

Entering Saturday, Bryant

was batting .412 with three

home runs and 10 RBIs in his

past 10 starts for Boise while

raising his average to .300 in

15 games overall.

Should Bryant land with

Daytona, he could have the

opportunity for at least a few

more at-bats.

Daytona leads the sec-

ond-half race in the Florida

State League North by 3.5

games.

The Cougars’ elimination

number in their division race

is 11.

Engaged same-sex coupleoffended by lack of support

Dear Abby: Thanks to achange in state law, my part-ner and I can finally marry.We’re now struggling withwhether to invite our par-ents and families to our wed-ding. While they have beenrespectful of us together andseemed to love my partner,it has become increasinglyobvious that they don’t wantto really talk about our lives.Specifically, our new rightto marry.

No one has said a word tous about the marriage law,even though it dominatedthe news for months beforebeing passed in May. Afterprompting, they said theysupport our having the samerights, but have a problemcalling us married.

We are going to bemarried and have decidedto invite only those who sin-cerely support us to shareour special day.

Because I’m so hurt bytheir silence on this, howdo I tactfully let them knowthey aren’t invited to thewedding without severingall ties? I’m sure we aren’tthe only couple facing thisnew issue. – Newly Equal InMinnesota

Dear Newly Equal: Inviteyour family to the wedding.Because they love you andhave accepted your partner,they may wish to attend.

Remember, the concept ofmarriage equality is a verynew one and not everyoneadapts quickly to change.

Regardless of whetherthey have a problem callingyou married, the fact is youwill be married according tothe laws of your state. Andthat’s what is important.

Dear Abby: I started datinga wonderful man two yearsago. We will be gettingmarried in a few weeks andown a house together. Hehas been a wonderful fatherto my two children. He lovesthem very much and thefeeling is mutual.

From the start, he knew Iwanted to have a child withhim, and he said he wantedthe same. Last spring I be-came pregnant by accident,but sadly, had a miscarriagea few months later. When Itold him I was pregnant, he

was not excited and madecomments that caused mestress. After the miscar-riage, he acted like nothinghad happened, which hurtme deeply because I reallywanted that baby.

Now he says he doesn’twant a baby anymore – thathe has changed his mindwithout even consideringthat I still want one. I’m solost. Please give me someadvice. – Baby Maybe? InPuerto Rico

Dear Baby Maybe?: Youand your fiance appearto have a communicationproblem. Now that youknow he has changed hismind about wanting a childwith you, you have a rightto know why. Discussingthis with the counsel of aneutral mediator would behelpful before your trip tothe altar.

Because the agreementbetween you was that youwould be enlarging yourfamily, you may need torethink whether you wantto go through with the wed-ding. If that’s the case, youmay also need the help of anattorney to separate fromhim financially because youown property together.

Dear Abby: In late Jan-uary, my sister left a $20bill at the front desk of myhairdresser’s salon and toldthe receptionist to give itto me when I came in andtell me it was my Christmaspresent. When I objectedto the impersonal mannerof the “gift,” my sister gotmad and told me I was being“ridiculous.” We haven’tspoken since. Was I wrongto object? – Mad In Maine

Dear Mad: Obviously, youand your sister aren’t close.If she didn’t even bother toenclose the money with acard or note, I don’t blameyou for being miffed, par-ticularly if you customarilyexchange gifts.

Step from trickone to trick four

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Henny Youngman said: “I beton a horse at 10 to one. It didn’tcome in until half-past five.”

Bridge defenders must timegetting the tricks that they needto defeat the contract before thedeclarer has won the numberthat he requires.

In this deal, the defendersrequire five tricks to beat threespades. West leads the heart ace.What should happen after that?

West doubled on the secondround to show five hearts, fourdiamonds and extra values. (Tobid three diamonds would haveguaranteed a five-card suit.)North raised spades to indicate apromising hand, but South hadnothing to spare, and those threelow hearts were a warning bell.

Under the heart ace, Eastsignals with his 10, starting ahigh-low (echo) with a doubleton.Now West can see four defensivetricks via the spade ace and threetop hearts, but where is the fifthwinner?

Next, West should considerthe high-card points. After check-ing the dummy and his hand, hesees there are only 11 points miss-ing. South must have most or allof them for his advance at thetwo-level, which I think should beforcing by an unpassed hand. IfEast and West cannot get anotherside-suit trick, they must collect asecond trump trick.

West should cash the heartking to confirm East’s doubleton,then shift to his singleton club.

South will win in his handand play a trump, but West takesthe trick and continues with hisheart two, the lowest card being asuit-preference signal. East ruffsand returns a club, which Westruffs for down one.
