ST. CHARLES – As a cer-emony began Saturday torededicate the southern por-tion of Langum Park as CampKane, Capt. Jeff Johnson ofthe 8th Illinois Calvary notedthe history of the 20-acre site.
Soldiers in the 8th and 17thIllinois Calvaries used theparcel – which is along Route25 in St. Charles – for trainingduring the Civil War. Johnsonsaid Lt. Marcellus Jones of the8th Illinois Calvary is credit-ed for firing the first shot inthe Battle of Gettysburg.
“That’s how close you areto the Civil War,” Johnsonsaid.
S a t u r d a y ’ s c e r e m o n ybrought attendees closer tothat era, as Johnson and oth-er re-enactors were dressedin Civil War-era uniforms,and actors portrayed Presi-dent Abraham Lincoln andSt. Charles resident Col. JohnFarnsworth, who was a con-gressman, abolitionist andclose confidante of Lincoln’s.
Kim Malay, president of theCamp Kane Heritage Foun-dation, said the rededicationwas held Saturday becauseThursday marked its 153rdanniversary. She thanked
various city representatives,
including members of the City
Council, for their support.
“It was because of them
that we were able to make this
happen today,” she said.
St. Charles Mayor Ray
Rogina said the community
sometimes takes its history
for granted. He summarized
Camp Kane’s significance in
a proclamation the council re-
cently approved.
“Col. Farnsworth used the
property he owned that is now
known as Langum Park to de-
velop Camp Kane. ... This was
the only Civil War training
camp in Kane County, and it
remained active until early
1864,” Rogina said.
After the rededication, a
ribbon-cutting ceremony was
held for the Jones Law Office,
which was recently moved to
Langum Park.
“This was the first law
office in St. Charles run by
Steven S. Jones, who named
St. Charles, and it served as
a holding cell for deserters
during the Civil War,” Rogina
said, reading from the procla-
mation.
“On Sept. 20, 2014, we hon-
or all the men who served in
the 8th and 17th Illinois Cal-
varies, as well as honor all the
important St. Charles and na-
tional history that Camp Kane
and the Jones Law Office rep-
resents.”
For Sycamore resident
K a r l a W e i r , S a t u r d a y ’ s
events were personal. Her
great-grandfather, Silas Dex-
ter Wesson, was assigned to
Company K of the 8th Illinois
Calvary, she said. However,
she said, he did not participate
in the Battle of Gettysburg be-
cause he had been wounded at
Beverly Run.
The rededication of Camp
Kane was the first of a three-
phase project, Malay said.
Other goals include construct-
ing a memorial wall for Civil
War veterans and building a
facility focused on the Under-
ground Railroad, she said.

Shoppers scoop up bargains early at Barn SaleBy ASHLEY SLOBODA
ST. CHARLES – Arrivingat the St. Peter Barn Sale anhour after it starts apparentlyis not early enough.
At least it wasn’t for JimGoldbach and his wife. TheCarol Stream couple arrivedat the Kane County Fair-grounds in St. Charles atabout 9 a.m. Saturday – thesale started at 8 a.m. – to findthat many items already hadsold, including pieces theyhoped to get.
“It really pays to shopearly if you know what youwant,” Goldbach said.
The sale ran through Sun-day at the fairgrounds.
Members of St. Peter Cath-olic Church in Geneva havebeen collecting items for
months, such as furniture,clothing, books, electronics,bikes, antiques and decor.
“It’s been very busy to-day,” longtime volunteer Jan
Grant said Saturday as shehelped visitors in the chinaand glass department.
Hundreds of volunteersassisted with the sale. Grant
said they spent a full weekunloading and unwrappinggoods from pallets so theycould be washed and orga-nized in time for the sale.
She likened the process toChristmas, since volunteersdon’t know what they willfind under the wrappings.
Shoppers hoped to findgood deals. Fran Sommers ofBartlett said that’s why she,her sister and her niece madethe trek.
“Well, you can always findsomething,” she said, listingbooks and clothes as items shebrowses. “Bargains galore.”
Goldbach said his churchalso holds a rummage sale,but it “pales in comparison”to the St. Peter Barn Sale,which he described as well or-ganized.
Despite arriving an hourlate, he said he and his wifeweren’t going home emp-ty-handed.
“I’ve already made twotrips to the car,” he said.

BATAVIA – The first thing
one might notice in looking
at one of Pamela Hamilton’s
portraits is the intensity of
her subject’s eyes.
“The eyes are the window
to the soul,” said the Geneva
artist, whose work was on
display Sunday at the Art in
Your Eye fine art festival in
downtown Batavia. “I’ve al-
ways liked to paint eyes, even
as a child.”
Sunday was the final day
of the festival, which opened
Friday night at the Batavia
Riverwalk in downtown Bat-
avia.
In the past three years,
Hamilton has participated in
about 50 art shows, which has
allowed her to educate people
about her art.
Several mediums of art
were on display at the festi-
val. Brad Pogatetz of Batavia
won an award of excellence at
the festival’s fine art show for
his photography work.
“It’s always great to get
recognized with an award,”
Pogatetz said.
His photography often
spotlights decaying struc-
tures.
“I try to capture a sense of
space and to detail the effects
of time,” he said.
Painter Kerri Ann Bran-
son of North Aurora received
the Mayor’s Choice Award inthe fine art show. For Bran-son, participating in artshows has many benefits.
“I love being able to showmy work,” Branson said.“You get to talk shop withother artists. You start to cre-ate more friendships.”
In addition to the fine artshow, the festival also fea-tured a City Hall exhibit.Batavia resident Joan Josephmarveled at the artwork ondisplay in the exhibit.
“It’s great to see that peo-ple have such talents, which Ienvy,” Joseph said.
Despite the weekend’s lessthan ideal weather condi-tions, organizers are callingthis year’s festival a success.On and off rain Saturday andSunday “didn’t deter peoplefrom coming out,” said Bat-avia MainStreet ExecutiveDirector Joi Cuartero.
This is the 10th year of thefestival. Batavia MainStreetorganized this year’s festivalfor the first time.
As part of Art in YourEye’s expanded offerings, thefestival featured live musicFriday and Saturday nightsalong with a craft beer andwine garden.
Several artists were notable to participate in the fes-tival Sunday after a stormpacking fierce wind and rainblew down their booths atabout midnight.
“Nothing was permanent-ly damaged,” Cuartero said.“The artists were happy withthe way we responded.”

4 FOX VALLEY MARATHON
Marathon victory hurts so good forWysongIndiana man treated for dehydration in aftermath of victory; Hird top female finisher
By JAY [email protected]
ST. CHARLES – Charles Wysongwon the first marathon he’s even run.
Misery was his immediate reward,though pride and fulfillment soon fol-lowed.
Wysong, winner of Sunday’s fifthannual Advocate Dreyer Fox ValleyMarathon, crossed in 2:44.58, but cel-ebration for the 26-year-old Indianaman was delayed as dehydration lefthim woozy at the finish line. He waswhisked to the medical tent near thefinish line, and estimated he then con-sumed about a gallon of water and Ga-torade in the span of half an hour.
“It was a little concerning but itwasn’t a huge deal,” Wysong said. “I re-bounded pretty fast. I was on the edge.If I would have been just a little moredehydrated, it would have been bad.”
Wysong said the last few miles ofthe race left him “seeing stars” as hewilled himself to keep chugging de-spite the pain.
“When you get dehydrated, it’s pret-ty much your whole body, your mus-cles lose the ability to move,” Wysongsaid. “It’s harder and harder to moveyour muscles and takes more and morewill power and effort to just make mus-cles react the way you want them to,and then they don’t work as well.”
The weather Sunday morning wascool and breezy, which might haveplayed into Wysong’s predicament. Inaddition to his lack of marathon ex-perience, Wysong said the conditionscaused him to underestimate his needfor fluids, and he ran through waterstations rather than slowing down.
His physical duress curtailed therevelry at the finish line, but co-raceorganizer Dave Sheble said the mara-thon is well-equipped to deal with med-ical adversity.
“You always hate to see a runnerin distress, especially a winner,” She-ble said. “Obviously he left it all on thecourse out there.”
A former college runner at HillsdaleCollege (Mich.), Wysong hadn’t previ-ously run a race longer than a 10K. Hesaid a friend challenged him to run theBoston Marathon, and although thattiming didn’t work out, it intriguedhim to give marathon running a whirl.
A younger brother looked after himin the race’s aftermath while his sister,Dorothy, and parents, Phil and Vi, alsoparticipated in the day’s races, whichincluded a 20-mile run and half mara-thon.
Wysong, who resides in Wawaka,
Indiana, with his wife, Marta, and6-month-old daughter, Eva, is a farmer,raising pigs and grain. Both runningand farming “take perseverance,” saidWysong, as Sunday’s race reflected toan extreme.
“It was challenging but it was worthit,” Wysong said. “It’s cool to just race
as a family. That’s pretty neat.”Wysong finished more than 5
minutes ahead of runner-up JordanKremer, 23, of Naperville. It was alsothe first marathon for Kremer, a grad-uate assistant cross country and trackcoach at North Central College, wherehe ran collegiately.
Kremer finished in 2:50.16.“My high school coach [at Belvidere
North] is here,” Kremer said. “He toldme [Wysong] had about six minutes onme so I wasn’t really going after him. Ijust wanted to finish, you know?”
Another Naperville resident, Mari-sa Hird, was the top women’s marathonfinisher. The 28-year-old Hird placedsecond among women at the inauguralNaperville Marathon last year.
“Can’t complain,” said Hird, whosewinning time Sunday was 2:53.37. “Iwas hoping for faster, but with thewind, it’s what I had today.”
Hird hit the finish line in down-town St. Charles more than 15 minutesfaster than women’s runner-up, AriellBachman, of Chicago.
About 3,800 runners registered forSunday’s races, which again stretchedfrom St. Charles to Aurora and back,with some minor tweaks to the course.
Just like the previous years, run-ners’ feedback was largely upbeat.
“Running right along the river is al-ways pretty enjoyable,” said Allie Wal-ters, of Chicago, the top female finish-er in the half marathon (1:26.53). “Thewind was kind of tough the last fewmiles coming at us, but besides that, itwas a nice course.”
Sheble said runners who have tak-en part in each of the five years of theevent received special medals salutingtheir loyalty. He said “a huge number”of runners are repeat entries.
“We say we’re just as committed toyou as you are to us, coming back yearafter year, so that’s been fun to watch,”Sheble said.
One of those marathoners returningfor more was North Aurora residentChris Benyo, 49. Benyo’s enthusiasmfor the Fox Valley Marathon remainsintact, and said he liked some of theadjustments to the course this year.
“It seemed like we were on street alot more, which is fine,” Benyo said.“Because when you’re on the path,you’ve got bikers and people walkingdogs and stuff like that. [The race or-ganizers] are great. I’ll do this everyyear as long as I can. It’s a fantasticmarathon.”

FOX VALLEY MARATHON NOTEBOOK
Late storm spices up all-nighter
GLENBARD WEST VOLLEYBALL INVITATIONAL
By KEVIN DRULEYAND JAY SCHWAB
ShawMedia
ST. CHARLES – Persistentwinds swirled near downtownSt. Charles as the lead packfinished Sunday’s fifth annualAdvocate Dreyer Fox ValleyMarathon.
To be sure, they had noth-ing on the storm that passedthrough race headquarters lateSaturday night.
With several marathon offi-cials pulling an organizationalall-nighter, the sight of torren-tial rain and high winds wreak-ing havoc on tents around mid-night marked one of the finalhurdles before race day.
“Boy, I tell you what, whenwe jumped in the food tent justto get out of the rain, that wasit,” co-race director Dave She-ble said. “I mean, our 10x10(-foot) tents were tumbling overeach other, (larger) tents wereflying up off the ground. It wastough. Pretty short, but it waskind of scary.”
Sheble, fellow co-directorCraig Bixler and several vol-unteers regrouped by millingaround the start/finish line atthe intersection of First andIndiana streets well before theraces started at 7 a.m. Sunday.
Sheble called it more a caseof inspiration than disorganiza-tion.
“We have been fortunate thateach year we get a little betterand we get a little more sleep,”Sheble said. “[Saturday] nightwas unusual, just that we had somany things we were workingon. And we said, you know, let’s
just stick with it. We’re havingfun with it. So much of it is youdon’t want to go to sleep becauseyou’re having so much fun. Itwas like Christmas for us.”
At least there weren’t anyplastic Santa Clauses or rein-deer to track down in the weehours.
“It’s all good,” Sheble said.“It happens.”
Mom on her mind: BethEbervein, 37, of Oswego, ran thehalf marathon, the longest raceof her life. As sunshine streakedthrough the clouds at one point,Ebervein felt what she consid-ered heavenly inspiration.
Attached to the back ofEbervein’s shirt was a heart-shaped sign that read “I run inhonor of my mom, 5-25-14.” Hermother, Dorothy Kowynia, wasat the forefront of Ebervein’smind during the race.
“My mom passed away inher sleep in May, she wasn’tsick or anything,” Eberveinsaid. “I was actually out for arun when the police came tofind me and let me know thatshe was rushed to Good Samar-itan. She just died in her sleep.
“My dad always said she hadsuch a kind heart, and unfortu-nately her heart stopped. That’swhy I just wanted to run it inhonor of her and her good heart,and to keep others healthy, too,by getting out and getting exer-cise, because heart disease isjust so terrible.”
Ebervein finished in about2:11, which she said “smashed”her goal of 2:30. Kowynia mightnot have entirely approved;Ebervein said she has a heartcondition and figures her mom
would have worried about herrunning such a grueling race.
Her students likely will havea less mixed response.
“I really had to show per-sistence, which I’m a teacher[at Highlands Elementary inNaperville], and that’s one ofthe things that we try to instillin my first graders, is evenwhen it’s hard, stick with it,”Ebervein said. “So that’s alsoone of the reasons I’m running,is to be a good example for myfirst graders.”
Dick Pond piles up winners:An internal competition amongDick Pond running stores wasa new twist this year, and thePark Ridge location gained ear-ly bragging rights when teammembers Rob Chenoweth wonthe men’s Fall Final 20 (2:02.37)and Lionel Montenegro won themen’s half marathon (1:13.32).
Chenoweth stopped friendand fellow Dick Pond FastTrack runner Steve Breese’sfour-year dominance in the 20-mile race.
“I’m in a little better shapethis year than he is,” Che-noweth said. “He’s been fasterin years past, so it was nice.”
The St. Charles Dick Pondteam received a boost from Ele-na Shemyakina, of Geneva, thefastest female 20-mile runner in2:18.10.
Allie Walters, 26, of Chica-go, won the women’s half-mar-athon in 1:26.53. She said she’straining for the New York CityMarathon in November.
“I had looked at results fromthe past couple of years and sawthat the winning times wereright where I thought I might be
able to run,” Walters said. “Soit was certainly in the back ofmy mind as kind of a secondarygoal. The first was trying to geta quick time, the second was tryto win.”
Good for the gander: Nine-year-old Iowan Peyton Marzentoted a sign into the Blue GooseMarket Sunday morning.
The message – “Your per-spiration is my inspiration” –was intended for his father andother runners, although severalBlue Goose employees wouldn’thave deflected the praise.
For the first time in fiverunnings of the marathon, thestore just a cool-down jog fromthe start/finish line opened at 6a.m., one hour earlier than usu-al, to accommodate early-risingfans’ food and restroom needs.
“Even if it was just bathroomuse, just to show them we’rehere,” front end manager KathyRohrbach said. “We had peoplethat were even from Napervillethat never knew we existed. Sojust traffic flow of seeing whowe are was good.
“It’s well worth being openthe extra hour for us, just for thecommunity, you know.”
Colette’s cause: About 75 run-ners completed the race for alocal cancer assistance charity,the Colette A. Miles Founda-tion. Each sported blue tanktopsbearing the TCAMF initials.
Miles was a breast cancersurvivor when she was diag-nosed with a recurrence of thedisease in 2009. She died in 2011.
Miles’ friend, St. Charlesresident Irene Eby, 41, headsthe effort and was part of thehalf-marathon field.

GLEN ELLYN – The Gene-va girls volleyball team wel-comed the chance to face rivalGlenbard West in the semifi-nals Saturday afternoon at theGlenbard West Invitational.
The Vikings got off to aslow start and eventually fellin three games, 24-26, 25-19, 12-25.
The Vikings were led inkills by sophomore Ally Bar-
rett (12), followed by fellowsophomore Grace Loberg (10).Mikayla Lanasa and MeganCameron had 16 and 11 assists,respectively, in the losingsemifinal effort.

having lost to Glenbard Southin three games Friday. Genevafinished third among 12 teams.

News about cheating
boyfriend is unwelcomeDear Abby: What are
the ethics in outing acheater? Someone I knowhas been cheated on byher boyfriend for twoyears – about as longas she has been withhim. I know this becausethe woman he has beencheating with is someoneI know.
Last week, I told thegirl her boyfriend hasbeen cheating. Now I amsuddenly a pariah andoutcast. I felt she had theright to know, but was Iwrong? Should I not havetold her? – Annoyed InChicago
Dear Annoyed: In thisage of social diseases, Idon’t think it’s wrongto tell someone that aboyfriend/girlfriend ischeating so he or she canbe tested. However, as youhave discovered, doing itis risky.
There’s a saying,“Don’t shoot the messen-ger,” that’s been aroundforever. It implies thata person who deliversunwelcome news will beblamed for it. While youand I would want to betold that we were beingbetrayed, obviously, yourformer friend didn’t,which is why you’re beingpunished.
Dear Abby: My boy-friend and I live in aduplex. We manage it, livein the lower unit and havethree tenants upstairs.
One of them, whosebedroom is directly aboveours, recently got a girl-friend. Aside from someloud video game-playing,he was always the quietestguy and has never beendisruptive. But since heand this girl got together,they have been disturb-ing the entire house withtheir noisy lovemaking.It starts with a few bangsagainst the wall thatbecome constant, and thenthe screams start.
I have no idea how toapproach this respectfullyand professionally. Pleasegive me your thoughts.– Bothered In Bozeman,
MontanaDear Bothered: Write
the tenant a short letterexplaining that thereis now a noise problemthat didn’t exist before.Explain that the screamsof ecstasy have awakenedyou and your boyfriendmore than once, and askhim to “lower the vol-ume.”
If an accommodationcan’t be reached, thelovebirds might want toconsider moving to a placeof their own.
Dear Abby: I have beenfrugal all my life. I havemanaged to accumulate acushion should I becomeill or need money foremergencies.
My oldest daughter isthe exact opposite. Shemakes stupid financialdecisions and has lostthousands of dollars.
She recently called,begging me to get her outof a financial jam she hasgotten herself into. I re-fused because the amountshe needs would cost mealmost all of my savings.
Now my other childrenhave stopped speaking tome. They say I should giveher the money. What areyour thoughts on this? –Prudent Mom In Florida
Dear Prudent Mom: Mythoughts are the sameas yours. If your otherchildren are determinedthat their sister shouldbe bailed out, then theyshould pool their moneyand give it to her.
But for you to give heryour life savings withno guarantee that it willbe repaid would be a badfinancial decision on yourpart. I hope you won’tallow yourself to be black-mailed into what couldliterally be sacrificingyour future.

Which fit shouldyou prefer?
Judith Martin, who is betterknown as Miss Manners, said,“We are born charming, fresh andspontaneous and must be civilizedbefore we are fit to participate insociety.”
To participate effectively in abridge deal, we hope to find a fitwith a partner. This week we willlook at the factors affecting yourchoice when you have two fits.First, should you prefer a 4-4 fit ora 5-3 fit?
Almost always, you should pickthe 4-4. If the 4-4 fit is a side suit,you will get at most four tricks. Butif it is the trump suit, you will oftenget an extra trick by ruffing a loserin one hand or the other. And a 5-3side-suit fit will usually providetwo discards on the fourth andfifth cards. But if the 5-3 fit is thetrump suit, it will rarely furnish asixth trump trick from a ruff in theshorter trump hand.
Look at today’s deal. How doesSouth get on in four hearts or fourspades?
In the auction, North mighthave started with a negative doubleto show his four hearts, especiallyas his singleton made his hand atad strong for a single spade raise.After the spade raise, the Southhand was just worth game, but hewisely showed his heart suit. ThenNorth raised to four hearts, a tadworried about his weak trumps.
Against four hearts, Westshould realize that East is high-ly unlikely to have an entry, soshould start with three roundsof trumps. But South can easilyrestrict his losers to one spade andtwo trumps.
In spades, West can cash his twohigh hearts and give his partner aheart ruff. Then West’s trump trickdefeats the contract.
