Perez and also Kane Coun-ty Coroner Rob Russell inseparate speeches talkedabout the need for groups topool resources and work to-gether to make a difference.
Russell said he does notwant to see young residentsbrought to the morgue whohave died of a heroin or otherdrug overdose.

ST. CHARLES – Dave Chap-pell’s lead in the champion-ship match of the St. CharlesMen’s Golf Tournament overRich Balla did not look as com-fortable as the two golfers ap-proached the seventh green forthe second time Sunday as itdid when the pair started theirsecond loop on the nine-holePottawatomie Golf Course.
Chappell was five holes upin the championship flightfinal when he and Balla com-pleted their first circuit of thecourse. In match play, scoringis based on how many holesthe golfer wins and not totalstrokes.
Momentum swung over toBalla in the second half as henarrowed the lead. The six-time tournament championstill needed to take the last
three holes to force an extrahole playoff.
Chappell hit the seventhgreen on his tee shot, thentwo-putted to win the hole andthe tournament, 3 & 2.
“It was a weird match, be-cause I was playing really wellon the front side and I madethe turn at five up,” Chappellsaid. “We flipped roles and Istarted to struggle a little bit,so fortunately I built up a nicelead and was able to hang on.”
“[Chappell] played realsteady on the front nine and… I couldn’t get off the bogeytrain,” Balla said. “I was fivedown at the turn and I just hadto battle back from there. I gotit to three. I couldn’t make aputt on 5 that would have got-ten it to two. I won [No. 6]. Itwas there, but I didn’t get itsoon enough.”
Chappell was pleased withthe way he closed out the
match.“I hit a 7 iron because I was
pretty amped up and so want-ed to center the green,” Chap-pell said about his tee shot onthe seventh. “I was happy tofind that green and two putt itfor the win.”
Balla’s first stroke on theseventh landed in a sand bun-ker. He was able to chip theball from the bunker to thegreen but needed two putts tosink the ball.
“I hit a good [tee] shot. I justhit about four or five yardsright and it plugged in the bun-
ker and I had no chance,” Bal-la said. “I just had to try andget it on the green and makea putt. It was almost impossi-ble. I did well to get it on thegreen.”
Pottawatomie pro RonSkubisz attributed the returnof Balla, who last won in 2001,and several other golfers to aformat change – reducing thetournament from three week-ends to two.
“He would not have nor-mally played in the event,”Skubisz said. “We moved thetournament from three weeks
to two and that allowed theopening up of his schedule toplay. We actually had threechampions that were able toplay that normally would nothave played.”
Championship rounds werealso played for four other flightlevels, which are based on thegolfers’ handicaps.
Mike Apple won the AFlight and needed to play all 18holes to edge Chris Jones, 1-up.Apple also won his semifinalround Saturday 1-up and need-ed 19 holes to secure the win.
“Today it was patience, acouple of key putts and coupleof good up and downs,” Applesaid of his latest narrow vic-tory. “I also hit the ball prettysolid today.”
Gus Eash (B Flight), TomMcCulloch (C Flight) and Kev-in Gaffney (D Flight) also pre-vailed in the championshipround.
Chappell surges early, protects lead to win title

Balla, Chappell advance to STC golf finalBy JAY SCHWAB
ST. CHARLES – If thechampionship flight final atthe St. Charles Men’s GolfTournament on Sunday isn’ta high-level match, neitherfinalist will be able to blamefatigue.
Both Rich Balla and DaveChappell made relativelyquick work of their semifinalopponents Saturday at Pot-tawatomie Golf Course, withChappell topping Mike Mueh-ling, 6 & 5, in one semifinal andBalla beating Randy Spring, 5& 4, in the other.
Chappell and Balla will faceeach other at 8 a.m. Sunday inthe championship match, withBalla seeking his seventh citytitle.
Balla hasn’t played the St.Charles Men’s Tournamentsince winning it in 2001 but thetournament’s change in for-mat this year – it was movedup and shortened to two week-ends rather than three – luredhim back. Balla used to have aconflict with his country club
tournament at Kishwaukee inDeKalb.
Balla said he’s familiarwith Chappell since the twoplayed in the same groupduring the tournament’s open-ing weekend.
“He hits it very well andhits it far, too, but Pottawato-mie is not all about length, it’sabout position,” Balla said.“But he’s got a very nice game,so it’ll be fun tomorrow.”
Saturday’s Balla-Springsemifinal took a sharp turnmidway through.
“I missed back-to-back four-foot putts on 8 and 9, whichkind of turned the matcharound,” Spring said. “ThenI ended up three down aftermissing those two putts. Wewere playing fairly even upuntil then.
“And then on 10, I was on intwo with about a 15-footer foran eagle, and he was in a lit-tle trouble but got on in threefrom about 20 feet away. Andhe made a 20-footer for birdieand I missed the 15-foot eagleputt, so we tied, so I didn’t pickup any ground.”
Chappell is only in his thirdyear playing the St. CharlesMen’s Tournament, and backwoes forced him out of thetournament early in one ofhis first two appearances. Hedidn’t grow up in the area andhas played most of his golfsince moving to town sevenyears ago at St. Charles andRoyal Fox country clubs.
“I think I’ve finally figuredout how to play the course,”Chappell said. “I think thatwas the challenge early on.”
Chappell, who won threestraight club tournament ti-tles at St. Charles CountryClub – one of which was matchplay – joked that beating Mue-hling was “payback” sinceMuehling ousted a couple ofhis friends last weekend.
While the championshipflight semifinals were lighton late-round drama, one ofthe A Flight semis – betweenMike Apple and Clay Kelley– required an extra hole afterKelley knotted it up on the 18thhole.
Both players’ third teeshots of the day on hole No. 1
went left of the fairway but Ap-ple was able to poke his secondshot back on while Kelley hadto work up the No. 2 fairway toset a better angle toward thegreen.
Apple managed a par onthe par-5 hole and Kelley puthimself in position to tie thematch but he missed a shortbut tricky par putt that wouldhave meant a second extrahole.
“That was a hard breaker,”Apple said of Kelley’s missfrom about four feet that end-ed the match. “You had to havethe speed on that, uphill, and itjust broke off on him. He didn’tmatch the line and the speedtogether. But great guy. Heplayed real well today.”
Apple will meet ChrisJones in Sunday’s A Flightchampionship. It would be Ap-ple’s second A Flight city titlebut the first won on the coursesince his previous champion-ship round opponent in 2009had to withdraw. Apple hasplayed the city tournament forabout 10 years and loves thematch play drama.
“It can change quickly,”Apple said. “You can be sittingfor a birdie at 10 feet away, andthen all of the sudden you missit by the hole and he chips itup close and makes the putt forpar, and all of the sudden youmiss the putt and you’ve lostthe hole.
“So it turns quickly formatch play, which is all part ofthat mental side of golf. You’vejust got to try and stay in themoment and play a shot at atime, so it’s fun. Every golfergets a little nervous, but that’sfun nervous. You put yourselfinto position to try to eithersucceed or fail, and in thisgame you fail more than yousucceed. But we’re dumb golf-ers, we come back and keepplaying.”
Apple and Jones – a 6 &4 winner in his semifinalagainst Patrick DeVito – willmeet at 7:45 a.m. Sunday. Theother flight finals are TaylorClausen against Gus Eash (BFlight), Ed Blyshak againstTom McCulloch (C Flight) andKevin Gaffney against TimTriplett (D Flight).

Abusive dadmakes family
gathering a painful eventDear Abby: I adore my
son-in-law, “Tom.” He’s awonderful husband to ourdaughter. He’s always invit-ing us to dinner along withhis parents and family. Weget along with them, butcan’t stand how they treatTom. We have never seenparents treat their childrenthe way they treat him –especially the father. Tom ispractically begging for hisapproval and attention on adaily basis.
The last time we haddinner together, you couldsee the hurt and embarrass-ment on Tom’s face afterhis father spoke to him.I desperately want to saysomething to the father,but I don’t know if I should.What would you do in thissituation? – DesperatelyWants To Help
DearWants To Help: I’d sitdown with Tom and tell himhow much I love him, howI appreciate the wonderfulway he treats my daughter,and say what a joy it is thathe is a part of my family.Then I’d tell Tom his father’sbehavior is uncalled for, andhow painful it is to watch be-cause he doesn’t deserve it.
I would explain that somepeople in this world try tocontrol others by withhold-ing affection and approval,and regrettably, it’s a tech-nique abusive parents – andsometimes lovers – use toexert control over those wholove them and want only tobe loved and accepted. Andthen I would ask him if hewanted me to call his fatheron it, because watchingit happen is painful andprevents you from enjoyingthe dinner.
P.S. Counseling mighthelp Tom recognize what’sgoing on and give him thetools to handle his father, ifhe’s open to it.
Dear Abby: I’m 17 andfeeling so sad because I justlost my dad. I can’t talk tomy stepmom because she’stoo busy hanging out withher friends, drinking andpartying. My dad died acouple of months ago, andshe’s already having sexwith my dad’s friends. Iheard them talking about
it. I have no other familythat I can go to. I reallyhate her right now! Pleasetell me what to do. – Griev-ing In Florida
Dear Grieving: Pleaseknow how sorry I am forthe loss of your father. Itwould be helpful for you tofind another adult to talkto about your feelings. Be-cause you have no familyother than your stepmoth-er, perhaps the mother ofone of your friends wouldlisten and guide you.
Hating your stepmomisn’t the answer. She maybe acting the way she is be-cause she’s trying to copewith the loss of your fatherby attempting to distractherself from the pain. Agrief-support group couldbe helpful for both of you.
Dear Abby: I’m a 30-year-old woman. I take care ofmyself, exercise regularlyand have a healthy diet.
My issue is people whoseem to think my weight isan OK topic of discussion,light ridicule or even harshaccusation (anorexia,bulimia, etc.). I am self-con-scious about my “chickenlegs” and having a “bonybutt.” How can I tell peoplethat commenting on myweight is rude without cre-ating an issue or causingdrama? – Weighty Issue InD.C.
Dear Weighty Issue: Ofcourse it’s rude, and thecomments you’re receiv-ing may have in them anelement of jealousy. Anonconfrontational wayto handle it would be topleasantly assure theseconcerned individuals thatyour doctor has assuredyou that you are fine. Thenchange the subject.
To My Muslim Readers:The fast of Ramadan isofficially ended. Happy Eidal-Fitr, everyone. May Godmake yours a blessed feast.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Raymond Teller, presumablytalking about Penn Jillette, said:“We did not start as friends, butas people who respected andadmired each other. Crucial,absolutely crucial for a partner-ship.”
That is an excellent startingpoint for a bridge partnership.In particular, you need to be ableto trust your partner’s bids andplays. But there are times when,on defense, one partner is notsure which way to turn. Then,the other partner should try tosignal the right road – as in thisdeal.
How should East-West cardto defeat three spades after Westleads his singleton club?
Note South’s jump to twospades, which promised some9-11 points by an unpassed hand.West’s three-diamond rebid wasaggressive, but it worked wellhere. First, it pushed the oppo-nents up to three spades. Second,if East had gone on to fourdiamonds, that contract wouldhave made.
East knows that the openinglead is a singleton or the highercard from a doubleton. And espe-cially if West has led a singleton,he is wondering how to get Easton lead to receive a club ruff.This is where the suit-preferencesignal comes in. If East has thediamond king, he should play hislowest club at trick one – the lowcard keying to the lower-rank-ing of the other two side suits.Here, though, East should playhis highest club to tell partnerthat he has something useful inhearts.
South will take the first trickand play a trump, but West willwin and shift to a heart. Then, inthe fullness of time, the defenderswill take two spades, one heartand two diamonds for down one.
