Many turned out for Swedish Day festival Sunday at Good Templar Park in Geneva. Activities included the traditionaldancing around the Maypole.

By ERIC [email protected]

GENEVA – Dressed from head to toe in a tra-ditional Swedish outfit, Jill Crooker is more thanhappy to show off her heritage.

Crooker, a member of the Chicago-based NordicFolk Dancers, helped lead the traditional Maypoledancing at Sunday’s 103nd annual Swedish Day fes-tival at Good Templar Park in Geneva.

“We like to keep the traditions going that areforefathers started,” Crooker said. “It’s also goodexercise.”

Sponsored by the local chapter of the Interna-tional Organization of Good Templars, Swedish Dayis an alcohol-free celebration of the Scandinaviantradition of Midsommar, the longest day of the yearin Sweden.

Swedish Day has been held since 1925 in GoodTemplar Park. And one doesn’t have to be Swedishto partake in the day’s activities.

“Thanks for letting an Irish guy come celebratewith you,” said Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns, whowas also on hand for the festivities.

Bob Nishikawa, of Batavia, has come to knowabout Swedish traditions. His wife’s family is partNorwegian. Dianne Peterson is known for her envi-ronmental activities in Batavia.

“I consider myself an honorary Swede,” said Ni-shikawa, who also lived in Stockholm, Sweden, forsix months.

Their children, Anais Peterson and Boomba Ni-shikawa, are members of the Swedish AmericanChildren’s Choir, which performed Sunday as partof Swedish Day. Anais Peterson, 15, was named thisyear’s Midsommar Queen.

“It is an honor to be chosen,” she said.Geneva will celebrates its Swedish roots during

Swedish Days, which starts Tuesday. The NordicFolk Dancers will be dancing at 4 p.m. Saturday aspart of the Sweden Vast set up on Fourth Street, be-tween Hamilton and State streets.

BATAVIA - Carolyn Burn-ham and others tasked withorganizing downtown Bata-via’s early summer festival,the Batavia Green Walk,knew the risks of throwing aparty outside.

“It’s always hard with anyoutdoor event, because of theweather,” said Burnham,who serves on the GreenWalk’s organizing commit-tee. “But this event is allabout showing people the op-portunities they have to en-joy the outdoors.

“So it was important thatthis be outside, even if it doesrain.”

And Saturday morning,rain fell throughout themorning, putting a damperon the sixth annual BataviaGreen Walk.

Staged for the past fiveyears, the Green Walk is in-tended to offer Batavia res-idents and visitors alike anopportunity to learn moreabout the surrounding envi-ronment, and the variety oflocal products, services andactivities to help promote amore “green” lifestyle.

Burnham noted that thisyear, the event more thandoubled its number of ven-dors and exhibitors, enlistingabout 70 for the 2013 festival.

The various exhibitorswere arrayed along the Riv-

erwalk near the Peg Bond

Center, Batavia City Hall and

the River Street pedestrian

bridge. They offered an array

of products and services, in-

cluding products to make a

home more energy efficient,

locally grown and organic

food options, and information

on local “green” recreational

options.

Visitors could also rent

kayaks or paddle boats to

take out onto the water of the

adjacent lagoon.

Organizers had expected

larger crowds at the event,

as well, as they opted to stage

the Green Walk on a Satur-

day for the first time in the

event’s history. Previously,

the Green Walk had been

staged on a Friday.

The Saturday scheduling

had allowed the Green Walk

to be held jointly with Bat-

avia’s downtown Farmer’s

Market on River Street, just

across the pedestrian bridge.

They also added food con-

cessions and “mini-lectures”presented on various topics,including Fox River waterquality; conscious shoppingand cooking; birds in the FoxRiver; and home energy effi-ciency, among others.

Morning rains, however,appeared to keep many peo-ple away, organizers said.

Joi Cuartero, executive di-rector of Batavia MainStreet,which helped to sponsor andplan the event, estimatedthat by mid-afternoon, sever-al hundred people had visit-ed the festival. As sunshinebroke through the clouds, shebelieved about 1,000 wouldcome by the time it wrappedup at 4 p.m.

She also noted that therain did not keep everyoneaway, as the event had beenvisited by “a number of peo-ple with umbrellas” in themorning.

Lenny and Kelly Peterson,of St. Charles, said they weredrawn to the event by thefarmer’s market, which of-fered them the chance to meeta farmer from whom theywere buying produce througha community supported agri-culture arrangement.

“I usually work on Sat-urdays, so this is kind of aunique chance for me to comedown here with my fami-ly and check this out,” saidLenny. “It seems like a prettyneat event.

“Despite the rain.”

Despite rain, many turn out for GreenWalk

Small crowds make their way through the various attractions offered at the 2013 Batavia Greenwalk alongthe Fox River in downtown Batavia on Saturday. A rainy morning kept attendance down at this year’s event,held on a Saturday for the first time in its history, and designed to offer local residents an opportunity tolearn more about various local products, services and activities to foster a more environmentally-friendlylifestyle.

Top of order humming butCougars fall to Timber Rattlers

By JAY [email protected]

GENEVA – The Cougars’ surging 1-2punch atop their lineup is putting theoffense in sweet position.

It didn’t matter much Saturday,though, due to another meltdown on themound by starting pitcher Dillon Ma-ples.

Maples didn’t survive the first in-ning, putting the Cougars in too deep ofa hole as the Wisconsin Timber Rattlersknocked off the Cougars at Fifth ThirdBank Ballpark, 11-5.

Cougars leadoff hit ter BijanRademacher and No. 2 hitter AlbertAlmora continued to click offensively,combining for five hits. Almora notchedhits in each of his first two at-bats, ex-tending his hitting streak to 13 games.

“I like hitting in front of Albert,especially when he’s hot like this, be-cause they’re going to give me pitches,”Rademacher said. “They’re not going towant me on first base because I can stealsecond and all of the sudden Albert’s go-ing to get a base hit and we’ve got 1-0right there, real quick.”

Rademacher, new to the leadoff role,showcased his offensive versatility,notching an RBI double, bunting for ahit and crushing a first-pitch fastballover the right field wall for a solo homerun with two outs in the bottom of theninth.

The bunt has long been a key part ofRademacher’s game.

“For the most part my whole careerI’ve been able to bunt the ball wheneverI’ve wanted to, whatever pitch is there,”Rademacher said. “I’ve been successfulat it. College, that’s all we did, we hadhour practices bunting, so that’s whereI really honed in the skill, and I’ve justcarried it over to pro ball.”

Rademacher (.331 batting average),Almora (.420 batting average) and therest of the offense were doomed to playcatch-up baseball when Maples couldn’tfind the strike zone for the secondstraight outing.

One start after lasting only two in-nings in a wild outing against Cedar

Rapids, Maples was unable to completean inning against the Timber Rattlers,throwing more than 40 pitches in allow-ing four runs on four walks and two hits.

“It’s an organizational policy if a guygoes over 35 pitches in one inning, hecan’t go back out,” Cougars managerMark Johnson said. “That’s an organi-zational thing, and usually if they goover 35 or 40, you’ve got to go get him.So that’s out of our hands. That’s justwhat we have to do as an organizationto protect our players.”

A 14th-round selection by the Cubs inthe 2011 draft, Maples commanded a $2.5million signing bonus, but is now miredin a severe rut that Johnson said might

be both physical and mental.“When you don’t throw strikes or

you don’t locate the way you want to, Ithink it’s a combination of both,” John-son said. “And if it isn’t, it will be. Youcan’t help but think about why you’renot making your pitches or why you’renot locating.”

Justin Amlung, Felix Pena and Len-dy Castillo chewed up the remaining8-plus innings for the Cougars (29-36),with Pena throwing four innings of one-run relief.

Cougars middle-of-the-order threatRock Shoulders, who has slumped some-what after a torrid start to the season,was given Saturday off.

“He hasn’t been where he was thefirst two months of the season, which isobvious, but he comes to the field readyto work and ready to get better everysingle day, and that’s how you get bet-ter,” Johnson said.

Wisconsin (29-35) will go for the se-ries sweep Sunday afternoon in the finalgame of the season’s first half for bothteams. The Midwest League All-StarGame is Tuesday in Dayton, Ohio.

No bone whatsoever to pick with theChronicle’s 2012-13 athletes of the year ...Micah Coffey and Amanda Hilton both hadstupendous school years.Sly heartily congratulates both. Just the

same, got to thinking of five more maleand female athletes that could have beenworthy candidates for that awards in theirown right. Here they are:

Guys

1. Bobby Hess, Geneva. Dude was abeast in both football and baseball. Yeah,the teams didn’t have as much success asyou’d have liked, but can’t really put that onthis speedy, slugging, touchdown-scoringsenior.2. Joe Hoscheit, East. One of the best

linebackers around in football, and one ofthe top couple hitters for the stately Saintbaseball team.3. Drew David, Kaneland. Heck of a

quarterback for the Knights, even withsome injury issues late in the fall, and hitsome clutch shots for the Knights round-ballers, too.4. Dylan Nauert, Kaneland. Another

football standout for the Knights who didhimself proud once again during trackseason.5. Phil Schuetz, ACC. One of the top

scorers in the area for the Chargersbasketball team and a stalwart in the lineupfor ACC baseball, which had one of its bestseasons in years.

Gals

1. Liza Fruendt, Batavia. Fruendt wasn’tthe KCC Girls Basketball Player of the Yearfor nothing, and she’s also a force on thetennis courts. Sly loves those unlikelycombos, like hoops and tennis.2. Carly Pottle, St. Charles East. Pottle

might as well have been Hilton’s shadow, asmuch as the girls were together this year,and like Hilton, Pottle was a huge factorin the Saints basketball and soccer teams’success.3. Camille Dela Cruz, Burlington

Central. Dela Cruz added a little veteranpresence to a very young and very goodBC girls hoops team, which went on anamazing role to a 3A supersectional. Also atop-notch, D-I bound soccer player.4. Quincy Kellett, Rosary. Kellett has

pocketed 27 goals two straight years in soc-cer. Guess that freshman year wasn’t a fluke.Also one of the top ballers for Rosary hoops.5. Allyson O’Herron, Kaneland. Incum-

bent Female AOY did more quality work thisyear for Kaneland girls hoops and softball.

Kane Countylooks to avoidsweep in finale

Mark JohnsonKane County Cougars manager

CHICAGO – Corey Craw-ford headed into the playoffsas a question mark.

By now, the Blackhawksgoaltender has transformedinto an exclamation mark.

The final outcome will beanybody’s guess when theHawks visit the Boston Bruinson Monday for Game 3 of theStanley Cup Final. The Hawksand Bruins split the first twogames of the series, which in-cluded four overtimes, whilescoring five goals apiece.

Far more certain is thereliability that Crawford willprovide the Hawks in net.

An overtime win againstthe Bruins in Game 1 solid-ified Crawford’s status asthe favorite to win the ConnSmythe Trophy as the playoffsMVP if the Hawks clinch theStanley Cup. And while Craw-ford allowed the overtime goalin Game 2 that evened theseries, the Hawks’ messagewas clear afterward regardingthe play of their goaltender.

Without Crawford, theHawks would not have hada chance to win in the firstplace.

“He was great,” Hawkscoach Joel Quenneville toldreporters after Saturday’sovertime loss. “He kept us inthere. They had some greatlooks in overtime around thenet. [He] stands tall findingthat puck. Gives us a chance.”

He’ll keep giving theHawks a chance in what isshaping up to be a memorableseries.

In 19 playoff games,Crawford is 13-6 with a 1.72goals-against average and asterling .935 save percentage.He has given up more thanthree goals only once – Game2 against Detroit – and he haslimited opponents to two goalsor fewer in 13 of his 19 playoffstarts.

Crawford will be the firstto admit that his statistics

also speak to the defensiveperformance of his team-mates, who sacrifice theirbodies to block shots at sucha rate that hockey outsidersmight question their sanity.And while it’s true that theHawks’ defensemen makeCrawford’s job easier, it’s alsotrue that Crawford has madehis teammates’ job easier onoffense.

Consider the following.When the Hawks have

scored at least three goalsduring the postseason, theyhave won 10 games and lostzero. When they have scoredat least two goals, they are13-1.

That’s not too much to ask.A team loaded with star

players such as JonathanToews, Patrick Kane, Mari-an Hossa and Patrick Sharpshould be able to muster apair of goals a game. Thenagain, the Bruins have provedthat they play excellent teamdefense in addition to havinga standout goaltender in Finn-ish phenom Tuukka Rask.

As the Hawks re-learnedSaturday in Game 2, one goalis not going to be enough.They’re 0-5 when scoring oneor fewer goals in the playoffs.

It seems that everyone hastaken notice of Crawford’sstellar postseason, including

a horde of national mediamembers who have packedthe Hawks’ locker room inrecent weeks. Many havebobbed from player to player,asking a similar questionabout Crawford.

Why has the Hawks’ goal-tender been overlooked?

“You tell me,” said Toews,who has consistently praisedCrawford during the past fewyears. “I think we all knowin this locker room how goodCorey Crawford is.”

So good that he has beenmentioned as a goaltenderfor Team Canada in the 2014Olympics.

That’s a big deal. Canadais to hockey what Illinois is toimprisoned governors.

“I’m happy people are ask-ing the [Olympics] questionall week, because I certainlythink he deserves it,” Toewssaid. “I feel like to get to thatlevel, you need to have somesort of name in the media andhave people know who youare.

“If they didn’t really be-fore, I think everyone knowswho Corey Crawford is now.”

ExhaustedMomof five

wants time to herselfDear Abby:My husband and

I have five kids, all under 6years of age. The youngest are7-month-old twins. A familyin our church has offered towatch them so my husbandand I can go out on a date. Wehaven’t been alone together ina year. We have no family orfriends nearby to offer respite.

I would like to accept theirkind offer, but two things areholding me back. First, I don’tthink they realize the enormi-ty of the task, and it feels likewe might be imposing.

Second, I don’t have any-thing to say to my husband. Adate would be awkward andmost likely consist of “rela-tions.” I like my husband, butI’d rather be left alone. Whatwould you do? – Frazzled MomWith No Support

Dear Frazzled:Before placingyour small children in the careof others, invite the familyover to see exactly how muchwork would be involved inwatching them. Then discusswith your husband what datenight will entail and see if youcan agree on what would be afun night out.

You definitely need abreak, and some alone timeshould be something to lookforward to. That it isn’t isof concern to me. It’s possi-ble you could benefit frommarriage counseling to helpre-establish a line of verbalcommunication. And equal-ly important, because yoususpect the evening “might”result in relations, make sureyou have birth control to pre-vent an accidental pregnancy.

Dear Abby: In this season ofgraduations and weddings, Iwould like to urge the honor-ees to send proper thank-younotes to friends and familywho give them gifts and mon-ey. Time, money and prepara-tion are put into these events,and the effect is spoiled whenguests have to contact storesor scrutinize their bank state-ments to learn if their giftswere, indeed, received butsimply not acknowledged.

Thank-yous aren’t difficult.Some “rules”: Rather thantext or email, write a note onpaper and mail it with a stampvia the U.S. mail.

Three lines are all that areneeded: “Thank you for the----. I look forward to using/en-joying it when we entertain/grill/vacation/walk the dog,etc. Again, I appreciate yourthoughtfulness.” That’s it!

If showing good man-ners isn’t incentive enough,remember this: These are thepeople you will be inviting toweddings, baby showers, andyour own children’s gradu-ations and weddings in thenot-so-distant future. A littlecourtesy goes a long way. –Appreciative In Hitchcock,Texas

Dear Appreciative:While let-ter-writing may always seemlike a chore to some people,there are occasions when awritten message is the propermeans of communication.Acknowledging the generosityof others is one of those times.Failure to do so indicates thatthe person’s gesture was of solittle importance that it wasnot noticed by the recipient.

Dear Abby: How do you po-litely tell friends and relativeswho are guests in your homethat your computer and TVare off-limits? Once they takecontrol of the remote or thecomputer, they seem to go cra-zy and change all the settingsto their preferences and neverput the settings back whenthey leave! What can I do,Abby? – Frustrated In LewisRun, Pa.

Dear Frustrated: “Remind”any guest who uses yourelectronic equipment thatit must be returned to youroriginal settings before theperson leaves your house. Ifyou have already done thatand it hasn’t worked, thenyou must find the courage tosay, “I’m not letting ANYONEuse my computer or remotecontrol because I have a hardtime getting the settings backto where I put them after youleave.”

Carefully handleyour trump suit

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

When you are in a trump con-tract, perhaps your first questionis: “How quickly should I drawtrumps?”

There is no simple answer,but the basic guideline is thatthe more trumps you have, thequicker you should remove theopponents’, especially when youcan do it without losing the lead.

When you have only eight ornine trumps, you might delaydrawing them; in fact, you mightnever touch them at all. In partic-ular, if you do not have the trumpace, think twice before leading atrump.

In today’s deal, how shouldSouth plan the play in fourspades after West leads the clubking?

Declarer looks at his 13 cards,takes dummy’s high cards intoaccount, and counts his losers.Here, he has five: two hearts, twodiamonds and one club. The mi-nor-suit losers are unavoidable,so South must ruff his two heartlosers on the board.

However, suppose declarerwins with his club ace, cashes thespade ace and top hearts, thenruffs a heart on the board. Whathappens next?

South cannot get back to hishand. And when he plays, say,a club, West will win and surelyreturn a trump, killing the sec-ond ruff. Instead, declarer shouldimmediately take his top hearts,ruff a heart with dummy’s spadeeight (so the mean and nasty Eastcannot overruff), play a spade tohis hand, and ruff his last heartwith the spade king. Then 10tricks roll in.

Yes, South could also duck thefirst trick, allowing him to ruff aclub in his hand.

This week we will look at vari-ous trump-suit techniques.
