Put to the test Students must complete GED by 2014 or start over after changes are made

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com

M

aria Vega is pushing to get her General Educational Development test completed before the end of the year. If she doesn’t, she’ll have to start from scratch and pay more than double to take it in 2014.

She’s one of many students who hope to wrap up the five GED test sections before changes occur next year.

Vega, 44, of Sugar Grove, has a high school diploma from Mexico, but she wants to take the GED to help with her English proficiency. She said she hopes it will propel her to her ultimate goal.

“I would really like to be a nurse one day,” she said.

Vega is enrolled in GED prep courses at Waubonsee Community College’s Aurora campus. She has signed up to take three of her five required GED tests, and she hopes to get all five complete before the tests change for the first time in 12 years.

If GED students have their tests partially completed by the end of this year, they’ll have to start over completely next year. In 2014, the test will be administered on a computer, and the cost will increase from $50 to $120, plus $10 to receive the certificate.

Test-takers will have to complete four test subjects rather than five: science, social studies, math, reading and writing.

The 2014 version requires students to pass reasoning through language arts, social studies, science and math, and writing components will be integrated into all of those subjects. The U.S. Constitution still will be part of the test.

Jeri Dixon, dean for adult education at WCC, said the college is revising its curriculum to prepare for the GED changes. She said she has concerns about the new test’s accessibility.

“We’re really concerned about the cost of the test, the ability of our students to navi-

Mariah Ten-Hoven of Streamwood works on an assignment during her GED preparation class at Elgin Community College.

“More critical thinking skills – that’s what we need in our workforce, and that’s what we do in our jobs as adults.”

Sally Guy Adult basic education instructor at Elgin Community College gate the test – even go online and administer the test,” she said. “They have to have an email address or set one up.

And they need a credit card or debit card.”

Ricky Poglajen, 18, of South Elgin is preparing for the GED by taking courses at Elgin Community College.

He said he left high school his freshman year.

“Living this way is too hard without an education,” he said. “I already have a job, but I want to better myself.”

He said the credit or debit

card requirement will be a problem for him if he doesn’t complete the test this year.

But he’s not worried about getting it done; he has time scheduled to take the test in April.

Dixon said there are positive changes coming to the test, including that the new test will be better aligned with common core subjects.

“It’s definitely meant to keep up with what high school students are able to do when they graduate high school,” she said.

Sally Guy, adult basic education instructor at ECC, said online registration should speed up the process and be easier and more convenient to register. She said integrating the writing portion throughout the test is another positive change.

“More critical thinking skills – that’s what we need in our workforce, and that’s what we do in our jobs as adults,” she said. “You’re test-

ing a person’s skill, but also giving an opportunity to put thoughts down they have to defend.”

Elizabeth Hobson, senior director of adult basic and secondary education at ECC, said while the new test is designed to be more rigorous, those who already have a GED don’t need to worry about the former test becoming obsolete.

“Their GED is still good as gold,” she said.

Dixon said the GED class enrollment at WCC has been relatively flat in the past few years, but Hobson said ECC is seeing a small uptick.

“Our enrollment is increasing right now, and I definitely attribute it to the word getting out about the test changing,” Hobson said. “People want to get in and get it finished.”

City to spend $95K on house for redevelopment

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Aldermen Monday voted to spend $95,000 in tax increment financing money to buy a house at 617 E. State St. The money comes from the East State Street TIF district, created in 2000 to promote new development on Geneva’s east side.

Aldermen first recommended approval of the purchase at a Committee of the Whole meeting, then finalized the action at a special City Council meeting immediately afterward. Both times aldermen voted 8-2, with 5th Ward Alderman Ralph Dantino and 3rd Ward Alderman Dean Kilburg absent.

A TIF district is a development tool that freezes assessed value in the designated area.

As the area’s value increases,

“ ... The price [on the house] recently dropped to a level we thought was important to invest.”

Kevin Burns Geneva mayor the additional taxes generated are used to provide public improvements.

For East State Street, these include demolition, assembling land for new development and street widening, Mayor Kevin Burns said.

“The property was available for some time,” Burns said. “It was actually available by auction three or four months ago. The price recently dropped to a level we thought was important to invest.”

The property had belonged to the estate of Philip Vincent

Chapman, who died in 2007.

Burns said the two-story brick house built in the 1950s had been on the market for about $100,000 more before the price drop.

The house is next to the Geneva Firewood and two doors west of Dairy Queen. The city’s goal is to raze the house this spring and have the property available for economic development.

Consistent with the comprehensive plan, the city’s goal is to acquire properties and assemble them to create a redevelopment initiative, Burns said.

“Whether it be commercial, whether it be residential – it is to be determined,” Burns said. “We stand in far better position to do so than to rely exclusively on small parcels being developed in small ways. It could be commercial, residential [or] multifamily.”

Junior league to hold ‘Shopping for a Cause’ The Junior League of Kane and DuPage Counties Inc. has announced Spring Fling 2013: Shopping for a Cause, a fundraising event to benefit atrisk children and their families throughout Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will counties.

The event will be from noon to 4 p.m. March 10 at the Hilton Lisle/Naperville, 3003 Corporate West Drive, Lisle.

Bags tourney planned at AID training center ELGIN – The Association for Individual Development has planned a bags tournament for March 2 at the AID Elgin Training Center, 1135 Bowes Road, Elgin. The cost is $50 for a two-person team.

For information, call 847-9312291 or email wbialek@theassociation.org or visit www. the-association.org. Food and refreshments will be provided.

Mutual Ground to collect accessories for clients GENEVA – Mutual Ground is

collecting purses and accessories for clients from Thursday through March 7.

Donations may be dropped off at Special Occasions, 2 N. Batavia Ave. in Batavia, or Gibby’s Wine Den, 1772 S. Randall Road, Suite 220, in Geneva.

Those who drop off donations will receive coupons to use at either store. The Purse Drive Kick-Off will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at Gibby’s Wine Den. For information about the drive, call Gibby’s at 630-208-6424.

2 sculptures donated to St. Charles Public Library ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles Public Library recently received two sculptures that are outside the main entrance.

Tom and Cris Anderson donated “Counter Point,” a kinetic sculpture by Lyman Whitaker. Pokey Park’s “Chasing My Shadow” was purchased and donated to the library by the Friends of the St. Charles Public Library.

“There’s no timeline, and we’re not going to rush it, either,” Buziecki said.

The Citizen Corps Council is an umbrella organization under which the village can institute existing volunteer programs such as the Community Emergency Response Team or Volunteers In Police Service.

Several communities in the area, including Elburn, Aurora, Gilberts, Naperville and Huntley, have CERT programs. Buziecki said duties that CERT members could perform include directing traffic at crash sites and helping with North Aurora Days.

NORTH AURORA – The village is closer to forming a volunteer force that could help police with community events or emergencies.

The North Aurora Village Board on Monday voted to create a Citizen Corps Council. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has a volunteer program called Citizen Corps, founded in 2002 to enhance the nation’s emergency preparedness.

The program is locally managed by a Citizen Corps Council, which includes community leaders.

Citizen Corps Council members participate in activities such as developing

community emergency plans and offering training, North Aurora Deputy Police Chief Scott Buziecki said. The Citizen Corps Council also could help recruit general volunteers for community events, such as North Aurora Days and the North Aurora Community Parade.

Buziecki, who has been pushing the idea of creating a volunteer force, also is the village’s emergency management coordinator.

“I think there will be a good number of people interested in getting involved,” he said.

More decisions need to be made before the program is up and running, such as who is going to be part of the Citizen Corps Council. He said

AURORA – DayOneNetwork is inviting supporters and members of the community to come out for its 2013 annual Gala, set from 6 to 10:30 p.m.

ST. CHARLES

Military history brought to life

By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – In an encampment intended to resemble a dugout in World War I France, Jeff Fronczak and Jeremiah Moore-Moauro spent the weekend at the ninth annual Military History Fest performing short skits that demonstrated a gas attack.

Although they portrayed death, Moore-Moauro said they informed visitors to Pheasant Run Resort that, while war can be necessary, nothing about it should be glorified.

The men, who started the 20th Century Marine nonprofit last year, view themselves not as re-enactors but as educators who promote and preserve the history of the U.S. Marine Corps from 1900 to 1999.

“They don’t teach this stuff in school anymore,” Fronczak said.

“But that’s where we come in,” Moore-Moauro said.

The Military History Fest featured 13 other interactive encampments that ranged from the Knights Templar to World War II. Participants wore period costumes and, in some instances, ate food from the period they represented.

“It’s not plastic. It’s all real,” organizer Michael Bollow said of the food at the Roman tavern encampment.

The three-day festival also included workshops, seminars, performances, a scavenger hunt for children and more than 200 vendors selling such items as Roman swords, paratrooper helmets and period clothing.

About 1,500 people attended the event, Bollow said, describing it as the biggest turnout yet.

“Pheasant Run is a perfect location,” he said, noting this was the festival’s second year there.

Formerly known as Reenactor Fest, the Military History Fest was created to give reenactors a chance to socialize with each other during the offseason, Bollow said. Organizers changed the name so it would have a broader appeal.

It is always the first weekend of February, he said.

Sunday, crowds gathered around encampments as participants gave demonstrations.

Acting as though their camp was under fire, Revolutionary War re-enactors responded with simulated cannon fire.

ST. CHARLES – The Illinois State Board of Education has awarded eight St. Charles School District 303 elementary schools with academic awards, the district announced Monday.

Corron, Ferson Creek, Fox Ridge, Lincoln, Norton Creek, Wasco and Wild Rose elementary schools received the Academic Excellence Award for 2012. Richmond Intermediate School also was named as one of the 81 state-

wide recipients of the ISBE Academic Improvement Award for 2012 for making substantial gains in student performance.

This was the sixth consecutive award for Lincoln and the fifth consecutive award for Ferson Creek, Fox Ridge, Norton Creek and Wasco.

Recipients must have made adequate yearly progress in 2011 and 2012, and 90 percent of their students must have met or exceeded state standards in reading and math for three consecutive years.

Statewide, 454 schools earned the Academic Excellence Award for 2012.

District 303 is one of eight school districts to have at least seven schools earn it.

The four school districts with more schools awarded than District 303 – Chicago, Elmhurst, Indian Prairie and Naperville – have more total schools than St. Charles.

District 303 schools earned 1.5 percent of all the awards given statewide although the 17 schools account for only 0.3 percent of all the schools in the state.

Robot creations compete in tourney

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The robots hustled in the competition pit, scooping up green beanbags in mechanized shovels and dumping them into raised troughs, their designers at the controls.

Then the competing team’s robot toppled over, its wheels spinning as the controller tried to use its scooper mechanism to right itself. Too late.

The round was over, and the next competitors stepped up while the teams carried their robots off to be adjusted.

Forty-eight teams competed in the tournament at the Great Lakes-Midwest-Illinois VEX Robotics Championship on Saturday at Rotolo Middle School in Batavia. Batavia Robotics and Fox Valley Robotics hosted the event, which drew participants from the

“You don’t wish [the robot] to tip over, but it’s just part of the design. If you have a high center of gravity, it’s more likely to fall over in a match.”

Ryan Moser Elgin resident, 17 Chicago metro area, Wisconsin and Indiana.

Allen Newendyke of Batavia was the coach for his team, Simply Complicated, made up of his son, Ryan, 16; daughter, Alexis, 12; and Ryan Moser, 17, of Elgin.

“We’re having some difficulty, but normally, we run better than that,” Newendyke said as he was making adjustments to the mechanism.

Moser said he enjoys designing robots. As to his opponent’s robot tipping over and giving him an unexpected advantage, Moser smiled.

“You don’t wish them to tip

over, but it’s just part of the design,” Moser said. “If you have a high center of gravity, it’s more likely to fall over in a match.”

Teams get instructions of what the robots are supposed to do. In past competitions, robots picked up plastic rings and stacked them on posts. In this competition, the goal was to lift the beanbags up into the trough.

In addition to scoops and buckets that looked like miniature backhoes, designs relied on conveyor belts to pull up the beanbags and deposit them into a bucket that would

Matches are in three pits with two teams in each, 15 seconds for robots to be autonomous and 45 seconds of controller-operated movement.

A back room was packed with teams hovering over their creations, making adjustments and repairs, including another local team, Cobalt, made up of Sue Park, 17, of Geneva and Mia Garbaccio, 16, of Lisle who were hustling to repair their robot for the next round.

“Something went wrong,” Park said. “The bucket came undone. So we can fix it very easily and we will surely win the next match. We just have to tighten the screw.”

Donald “Harvey” McClurg: There will be a celebration of life service at 4 p.m. May 23 at Portage United Methodist Church in Portage, Wis. Adolph “Bud” Shulske: Memorial services will be at 11 a.m.

Winter often brings the flu, coughs and shoveling strains.

Add to these ailments a more deadly one: heart attacks.

A recent study has found that more fatal heart attacks and strokes occur during the winter than at other times of the year. And it doesn’t seem to matter whether the winter is occurring in the warmer climes or the frostier ones.

After sifting through about 1.7 million death certificates filed between 2005 and 2008, cardiologists Bryan Schwartz of the University of New Mexico and Robert A. Kloner of the Heart Institute at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles found a 26 percent to 36 percent greater death rate for heart attacks in winter than summer “despite different locations and climates,” Kloner says. The worst months are

December, January, February and the beginning of March.

The doctors analyzed the cause of death for people in Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Los Angeles, Washington state, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Of those who died of heart disease, the winter weather pattern was clear.

In Los Angeles, for example, there were about 70 deaths per day from cardiac disease, Schwartz said. “In the summer, L.A. had an average circulatory death rate of about ...

55 deaths per day.”

The research uncovered patterns in cardiac deaths from “seven different climate patterns,” according to the study, and “death rates at all sites clustered closely together and no one site was statistically different from any other site.” An abstract of the study was published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Europe’s respite THE WASHINGTON POST Guess where the world’s hot money is flowing these days? The correct answer, believe it or not, is Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain – the notoriously indebted “PIIGS” – which received a net $127 billion in new loans and investments during the last quarter of 2012. Government borrowing costs are coming down, and some major banks are beginning to repay crisis loans from the European Central Bank.

Europe is not headed for economic calamity or, worse, a political crack-up, anytime soon. The credit for this salutary turn of events, which hugely benefits the United States and the world economy – and which many experts considered unlikely or impossible as recently as a few months ago – belongs to Mario Draghi, the ECB president. He announced a plan to backstop government debt in September, essentially by offering to buy unlimited quantities of distressed countries’ bonds, in return for their commitment to structural reforms. Also crucial was the support of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who quietly acquiesced in Draghi’s proposal despite its deviation from German economic orthodoxy.

Those investors getting back into the market are doing so on the assumption that the ECB, backed ultimately by financially solid Germany, will pay them back if all else fails.

Indeed, the ECB has not actually had to buy any bonds; its promise was confidence-builder enough.

But no one should

confuse this respite in Europe’s crisis with a solution to it.

Unemployment in the euro zone – the 17-nation group that uses the common European currency – averaged 11.7 percent in December, and youth unemployment was double that. The International Monetary Fund expects the euro zone economy to contract slightly overall this year, with the PIIGS experiencing the worst negative growth. Plans for a unified bank supervision and resolution authority are moving ahead but still are far from finished. And the continent lacks another hallmark of a working currency union, namely a single system of bank deposit insurance.

The euro zone’s main piece of unfinished business is a broader economic restructuring that will reduce the imbalance between its supercompetitive members, such as Germany, and the laggards, such as the PIIGS. That’s going to take not just the admittedly necessary reforms in the debtor countries that Germany has demanded in return for its money but also reform on Germany’s side of the equation.

Draghi has bought Europe time; politicians could still waste it. “Governments ought to be given credit for what they did,” he said last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, but they “must persevere ... especially on the front of structural reforms.”

Draghi’s performance suggests his advice should be heeded.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support education and the arts To the Editor: Dancing with the Geneva Stars is a fun, exciting event.

But it has a purpose, a reason for being.

The event is a benefit – it is the only fundraiser for the Geneva Cultural Arts Commission has to support many events and projects. The Geneva Academic Foundation, the commission’s partner for Dancing with the Geneva Stars, receives a percentage of the net profit to support its grants to the Geneva schools. In 2012, 11 percent of the funds raised by the foundation for supplemental programs, educational resources and scholarships to benefit Geneva students came from Dancing with the Geneva Stars.

The Geneva Cultural Arts Commission financially supports history center exhibits,

Editorial board J. Tom Shaw, publisher Kathy Gresey

Al Lagattolla Jay Schwab

the Orion Chamber Ensemble, Greater Geneva Art Guild, Emerging Artist awards and the soon to be Bike+Rack=Art (a public art project). In addition to these financially-supported grants, the commission has held for the public’s enjoyment the Geneva Film Festival, the Summer Concert Series at RiverPark, Shakespeare in the Park and the Steeple Walk concert event. None of these events or grants would occur without Dancing with the Geneva Stars.

It has been said that Dancing with the Geneva Stars is not a “cause,” so why support it. No, it is not for cancer or Parkinson’s research or for helping the homeless or disaster relief.

It does exist for improving the quality of life for our schools and community. Your tax dollars are not used for these additional benefits for our schools

and community.

Geneva is a wonderful place to live; the residents are committed to supporting and improving their quality of life for their children and families.

The Geneva Academic Foundation and Geneva Cultural Arts Commission are asking for your support by attending Dancing with the Geneva Stars on Saturday or voting for a team needing your votes to win the dance competition. For reservations and dance team voting, visit www. genevarts.org. The commission and foundation guarantee an evening of fun and entertainment, and our teams need your votes.

‘SHE’S A FRESH-MAN’

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Tuesday, February 5, 2013

WHAT TO WATCH

Young players excel for Burlington Central

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com BURLINGTON – Standard four-syllable chants announce to anyone within earshot just how new Samantha Cruz, Becca Gerke, Shelby Holt, Samantha Pryor and Kayla Ross are to Burlington Central girls basketball.

While schoolmates and teachers don’t break stride in the hallway to bark, “SHE’S A FRESH-MAN,” they frequently share related thoughts.

“I think we all knew we were capable of playing like this, so it’s kind of cool to hear it,” Holt said. “It’s still cool to hear it. It doesn’t really get old.”

Why should it when BC’s kiddie corps has helped steer the team to a 22-4 start, including a 12-0 run to the Big Northern East title? With the rest of Central’s roster featuring five sophomores, one junior and two seniors, tonight’s regular season finale against St. Charles North won’t be this group’s last hurrah on Rocket Hill, even with a home 3A regional looming.

Central enters the game one victory shy of setting the program’s single-season school record, BC coach Mark Smith said. Smith, in his first season with the team, anticipated a possible breakthrough during preseason but has found the group’s quick emergence to be a pleasant surprise.

Senior guard Camille Dela Cruz, one of just four Rockets with a driver’s licenses, hadn’t met the new girls until tryouts, and occasionally takes a few freshmen home from practice.

Dela Cruz need only consult her rear view when she’s on the road. She hasn’t had to worry much about her new teammates on the court so far.

“They play with confidence. They don’t play scared.

They don’t play like freshmen,” said Dela Cruz, a thirdyear varsity player. “They

Burlington Central freshmen Shelby Holt (left) and Samantha Pryor practice with the girls basketball team at the school Monday afternoon. BC is 22-4 thanks in part to the work of underclassmen. know what they’re capable of doing and everything, so that’s how they play.”

BC’s five freshmen have harnessed their symmetry as members of the Illinois Hoop Dreams AAU team along with sophomore Jackie Collins, whose father, Paul, founded the program in 2010.

Holt credits the regimented schedule and tough competition for preparing the newest Rockets, who “held our own,” in Holt’s words, even during summer showcases in which they played up an age group.

Central’s leading scorer at around 12 points per game – just ahead of Pryor and Ross, who are hovering near double digits – Holt and her classmates adjusted to Smith’s energetic, adaptable style from the start of practice.

“In the summer, we were so excited because we were like, ‘Oh, well now we all get to come here,’ “ said Holt, a forward. “It worked out really cool, because we all play in the summer and then here, too.”

Sophomore post Alison Colby, a 6-footer like Gerke, heard the freshman chants last season as a top varsity player.

With the first leg of what the Rockets hope is a lengthy postseason run on their own court, Colby wouldn’t mind hearing more cheers for the new frosh. Fanfare is fine, so long as Central doesn’t get complacent.

“With us being a young team, we have to expect tough teams going into it,” Colby said. “We can’t be too confident, but we can’t be too shy, either. We’ve got to come out with our best, right from the beginning.”

Smith has yet to see effort as an issue. He doesn’t expect to in the seasons to come.

“Any one of those girls that wants to play in college, you’ve got to work on it on your own. You’ve got to have a passion for the game,” Smith said. “I think that most of them do, and we’ll see where they end up. They should be OK.”

Remember me?

First-year Burlington Central girls basketball coach Mark Smith still teaches math at St. Charles North, where he was the program’s first boys basketball coach.

Despite that history, Smith, the father of former North girls standout Kelsey, did not schedule the North Stars for tonight’s regularseason finale. Former Central athletic director Steve Gertz took care of that.

“I didn’t tell them to get that game, it just worked out that way,” Smith said. “And it was close, and it’s good to play tough competition.”

Smith is a former colleague of one-time Wheaton Warrenville South boys coach Barry Brennan, father of North girls coach Colleen Backer.

“She has basketball in the family,” Smith said of Backer.

Smith, too.

KANE COUNTY COUGARS

Kane County Cougars manager Mark Johnson signs a baseball for a fan Friday night during the “Meet the Cubs” party at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva. season are young, namely outfielder Albert Almora (18) and first baseman Dan Vogelbach (20).

One reason the Cubs value Johnson in the role of guiding emerging talent is his big league experience. A former catcher, he made his MLB debut with the White Sox in 1998 and turned to managing in 2011.

“You play part-time babysit-

ter, you’re part-time shrink, you’re part-time disciplinarian,” McLeod said. “You’re developing guys.”

Thanks, Trader Jack: Delving into “the office thing for the first time ever” after an earlier career as a player and coach, Hyde, 38, was named to his role in August. He served as Miami Marlins bench coach in 2010-11 but moved on to the Cubs organization when then-

Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen, formerly of the White Sox, brought Joey Cora in as bench coach before last season.

Hyde says he can’t overstate the importance of former Marlins manager Jack McKeon’s influence on his career. The two shared an office when McKeon, then 80, came out of retirement to manage the Marlins for the final 90 games of 2011.

PREP ROUNDUP

St. Charles East’s Crocker will bowl at state tournament KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE The St. Charles East learning resource center contained slightly more commotion than usual around 10:30 a.m.

Monday.

That’s about when Saints girls bowling coach Mary Ann Carrell, who works in the LRC, learned junior Laura Crocker had earned an at-large bid to this weekend’s state tournament at Cherry Bowl in Rockford.

Crocker happened to be in the LRC between classes when Carrell, frantically refreshing her computer, gathered the news. The two briefly broke protocol and spoke above

hushed tones.

“While she was standing there is when it finally came through,” Carrell said. “We were just jumping up and down and hugging each other.”

Crocker joins St. Charles North junior Bobbi Jo Buhlman and East sophomore Erin Heuer as Chronicle-area athletes to advance to the state tournament. On Saturday, Buhlman rolled a 1,217 series over six games to earn top individual honors at the Schaumburg Sectional at Poplar Creek Bowl in Hoffman Estates.

Heuer (1,203) was third, while Crocker (1,183) finished four pins shy of securing the

sectional’s fifth and final individual qualifying spot. IHSA officials determined the final at-large qualifiers shortly after the IHSA’s Bloomington office opened Monday morning.

GIRLS BASKETBALL UEC crossovers set: Saturday’s final Upstate Eight Conference River and Valley Division girls basketball games decided the UEC crossovers to be held this week. All crossovers will be played at Valley sites and tip off at 7:15 p.m.

Friday’s UEC championship crossover will pit Geneva against Valley champ Neuqua Valley in a rematch from ear-

lier this season. The Wildcats won, 45-22, on Nov. 23 in Geneva, two days after point guard Michaela Loebel suffered a season-ending ACL injury.

Geneva also was without Sami Pawlak, who was sidelined with a broken finger, but since has returned.

The rest of the crossover schedule is set for Thursday.

In games involving Chroniclearea River teams, second-place finisher St. Charles East visits Metea Valley, fourth-place Batavia goes to South Elgin and fifth-place St. Charles North travels to East Aurora.

East (65-59 home loss) and North (39-35 home win) both

will be part of crossover rematches with Valley foes.

The River standings experienced late shuffling Saturday when Geneva, assured of at least a tie for the title, leapfrogged Streamwood when the Sabres suffered a home loss to Batavia. The Vikings had a 10-2 mark in River play.

Batavia 70, Oswego East 44: At Batavia, Liza Fruendt (17 points) and Miranda Grizaffi (16) paced four Batavia players in double figures as the team rolled on its senior night.

Hannah Frazier and Erin Bayram notched 11 points apiece for the 18-9 Bulldogs.

Batavia led, 38-15, at halftime.

GENEVA – Just as the Cougars’ sold-out “Meet the Cubs” party at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark Friday overflowed with fans, this reporter’s notebook teemed with tidbits from the baseball brain trust on hand.

Here’s a look at more from Cougars manager Mark Johnson, Cubs vice president of scouting and player development Jason McLeod and Cubs director of player development Brandon Hyde.

First pitch of the first season of the two-year player-development contract between the Cougars and Cubs is set for April 4.

Kids’ game: McLeod joked that the only potential downside to having Cubs’ prospects so close to Chicago was the pull of nearby nightlife and “tearing up the town” on off-days.

Johnson, who managed many of the prospective 2013 Cougars at Short-A Boise (Idaho) last season, assured it wouldn’t be an issue.

“They’re not going to be old enough,” Johnson said. “It’ll be all right.”

Indeed, a number of top prospects who played at Boise last

razzing for being so close to a man who helped bring great misery to Cubs fans. In 2003, McKeon guided the Marlins past the Cubs in the National League Championship Series en route to a World Series title.

In Game 6 of the NLCS, the Cubs were five outs away from winning the series when fan Steve Bartman interfered with a foul ball coming his way. The Marlins staged a rally immediately thereafter, and what became known to many as “The Bartman Game” was part of ESPN’s “30 For 30” documentary series.

McKeon caught an especially close view the program in the clubhouse one afternoon, Hyde recalls.

“I turn the channel and I tell Jack it’s on,” Hyde said. “He got his chair and he went about this far [Hyde spreads his hands about 18 inches apart] and was late for his media thing because he wanted to watch it.

“It was really interesting listening to him talk through that the whole time. Like, I was late for what I had to do because I wanted to hear Jack talk about it. It was so interesting. He’s just an incredible person.”

Jeff Krage – For the Kane County Chronicle

St. Charles North’s Tony Neari drives to the basket after a steal during Saturday’s game against St. Charles East.

ST. CHARLES NORTH 62, ST. CHARLES EAST 49

North’s depth a Payne for Saints DENNIS D. JACOBS editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles North’s Quinten Payne and St. Charles East’s Dom Adduci are two of the area’s finest guards, and both displayed their considerable talents Saturday night in an Upstate Eight Conference River Division boys basketball game.

With Payne pouring in 22 points and Adduci countering with 20, the difference in the 62-49 victory by the North Stars on their home court may have been that Payne got a little more help from his friends.

“I thought Quinten played within our system with his teammates very, very well,” North coach Tom Poulin said.

“Nothing really looked forced, so I thought he did a real good job of just playing the game within the game.”

Payne started out hot from the outside, hitting on five of his first seven shots, helping the North Stars (13-8, 6-4 UEC River) jump out to a quick nine-point first quarter lead.

“I thought we did a great job as a team tonight of defending, and when I missed a couple shots in a row, my team picked me up on defense, so we just kept building [the lead],” Payne said. “Even though we missed a shot, we still ran back and got a stop, so I give credit to my team for

doing a great job on that.”

That tough man-to-man defense kept Adduci quiet early, but he connected on a pair of 3 pointers toward the end of the quarter to cut the deficit to three. Kyle Swanson stemmed that rally by the Saints (13-8, 6-3) by drilling a 25-foot shoot at the buzzer to put North up 18-12 heading into the second quarter. That started North on a 10-0 run, capped by Payne’s pull-up jumper in the circle.

Poulin thought North’s trapping full-court press contributed to his team’s fast start, even though it didn’t cause many turnovers – East had eight in the game, three less than North.

“This past week we put in a full-court press,” Poulin said.

“There was something lacking in our intensity, so we said one way to guarantee some intensity or energy early in the game is to press.”

The North Stars also scored the last seven points of the half, including a basket inside by Chris Preocanin three seconds before the break that Payne assisted on with a great pass off a fake jump shot.

Payne gave North its largest lead of the night at 42-25 midway through the third quarter by hitting a 3 from the left wing, but Adduci then began a furious East comeback by hitting a floater in the lane.

That sparked a 17-3 run by the Saints.

JIM & SYLVIA ROBERTS NIGHT OF HOOPS

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

BATAVIA – If you wanted to hear some wonderful high school basketball stories, you certainly could’ve found them Saturday at Batavia’s 20th Annual Night of Hoops.

That’s mainly because plenty of Batavia alumni and fans attended the renaming of the annual event to “The Jim & Sylvia Roberts Night of Hoops,” after Jim Roberts, the former longtime coach of the Bulldogs and his wife.

“This has been really nice,” said Sylvia Roberts, who has been by her husband’s side during his 27 years at Batavia.

“I didn’t know exactly what to expect but was happy to hear and see so many people.”

Denny Graves, a 1967 graduate, made it a priority to attend the event, which preceded Batavia’s 59-47 loss to De La Salle.

“Me and Jimmy go way back,” Graves said. “He always did things the right way and that’s why there’s so many people back [Saturday night] to see him.”

Former Batavia athletic director Mike Gaspari emceed the event, noting Roberts’ commitment to Bulldogs basketball and explaining what he believes “Night of Hoops” is all about.

Unfortunately, De La Salle put a damper on the celebra-

tion, pulling away in the second half.

“We kind of sputtered in the third quarter and it kind of snowballed from there,” Batavia coach Jim Nazos said. “But they’re a great team and it’s not just [Alvin] Ellis. They’ve got two guys down in the post and do a good job on the boards.”

Batavia (9-12) relied on 3-pointers to stay within striking distance throughout the opening half. The Bulldogs scored 15 points via the 3 to only trail 27-21 at halftime.

De La Salle opened the third quarter on a 7-0 run, which included a 3 from Martez Cameron with 6:15 remaining to extend its lead to 34-21. The Meteors (14-6) would lead by as many as 20 points in the second half and the Bulldogs were unable to pull within single digits for the remainder of the game.

Micah Coffey led the Bulldogs with 11 points, Zach Strittmatter had 10 and Jake Pollack added eight.

Despite coming up short, Nazos didn’t lose sight of the momentous occasion.

“This is a great experience for the kids to look forward to each year,” he said. “Tonight, with honoring Coach Roberts, made it extra special.”

Sophomore Brandon Hutton led three Meteors in double figures with 16 points.

Kaneland’s Esai Ponce (top) controls Burlington Central’s Brady Weinrich during their 132-pound finals match Saturday at the Class 2A Sycamore Regional. Ponce won the match with a 10-2 decision.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE Nine Marmion wrestlers intended no slight to the five non-Cadets stationed on their side of the championship mat late Saturday afternoon.

If finals introductions at the 3A Naperville Central Regional didn’t already sound like a Marmion dual meet, the Cadets representing their powerhouse program added the look, slapping hands with each teammate as he came down the line.

Marmion channeled the same comfortable feeling when bouts began moments later, completing a dominant run to the school’s first team regional title in its 3A debut.

“It definitely takes some of the pressure off, the little pressure that there is,” junior 106-pounder Anthony Bosco said. “When you’ve got all your friends in the finals with you, you’re having to kind of feed off everybody’s energy.”

The Cadets boarded the bus with eight individual champions and plenty of spunk to spare after scoring 244 points, well ahead of runner up Downers Grove South (119) and third-place Batavia (105). Thirteen Marmion athletes advanced to this week’s Shepard Sectional, including five freshmen.

“That was probably one of the best matches I’ve had all year.

With my cardio up a little, I wrestled a lot better …

I’m wrestling the best that I ever have.”

Esai Ponce, Kaneland senior wrestler “Sometimes our age shows,” said one freshman, 152-pound winner Riley DeMoss. “Hopefully, it doesn’t over the next few weeks.”

Johnny Jimenez (120), Jake Field (126), George Fisher (132), Trace Carello (145), Cody Snodgrass (195) and Alex Fritz (285) were the Cadets’ other regional champions. Marmion will compete in the Hinsdale South dual team sectional after the individual state tournament concludes in two weekends.

Batavia produced six individual sectional qualifers, highlighted by senior 138-pound champ Charlie Smorczewski, who won his first career tournament. Jake Boser of Geneva, which advanced four to sectionals, took the crown at 182.

In the 126-pound final, Batavia senior Joel Shump suffered his first defeat of the season when Field, a longtime offseason training partner, scored a 4-3 decision in the title bout.

Shump entered the finals at 37-0, and quickly shrugged off the streak, vowing to win sectionals.

“It means nothing, and coming into regionals, it meant nothing,” Shump said. “You know, I needed the wake-up call, it looks like.”

At the 3A Glenbard North Regional, champions Keone Derain (145) and Cam Carlson (170) highlighted St. Charles East’s haul of nine qualifiers to the Maine East Sectional.

Wes Pasholk, St. Charles North’s lone sectional qualifier, won a title at 220. Pasholk is the second cousin of former Geneva state champion Ray Soto, who on Saturday was inducted into the Vikings’ Athletic Hall of Fame The host Panthers registered 222 points to win their 13th successive team regional title. East (174.5) finished third, in close pursuit of runnerup Wheaton North (183.5).

In 2A regional action at Syca-

Class 1A, at Harvard 170: Joe Freemolu, Mooseheart 182: Junior Smith, Mooseheart 220: U-Jay Smith, Mooseheart

more, senior champions Esai Ponce (132), Sonny Horn (138), Dan Goress (145) and Zach Theis (285) led seven Kaneland wrestlers who will move on to the Rochelle Sectional.

Goress won by pin and technical fall before winning by injury default in the final. Coach Monty Jahns expects big things from Goress down the road after the senior made it all the way to the quarterfinals at the state meet last year..

“Unfortunately we didn’t get to see him wrestle in the final match, but [Goress] is just solid,” Jahns said.

“He’s right on, and that’s carried over in the room. Esai is right behind him.”

Ponce had a standout day, winning by pin in the first two rounds before beating Burlington Central wrestler Brady Weinrich in the final. Throughout the year, he’s steadily improved after losing 20 pounds to get into his desired weight class.

“That was probably one of the best matches I’ve had all year,” Ponce said.

“With my cardio up a little, I wrestled a lot better … I’m wrestling the best that I ever have.”

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM

Children like to play with toys that are replicas of things used in everyday life. They also like toys that move and make noise, so for centuries toymakers have created transportation toys. There are very old toys shaped like chariots, stagecoaches and canoes. But by the late 1800s and early 1900s, new developments like trains, cars, buses, motorcycles and bikes, as well as airplanes, balloons, blimps, helicopters and imaginary flying saucers and spaceships, became favorites. Gunthermann was a German company that manufactured toys from 1877 to 1965. It made many of the toy vehicles wanted by today’s collectors. In September 2012, a tin double-decker toy bus made in the 1930s - a copy of a full-size bus of the day - sold at a Bertoia auction in New Jersey.

It has an ad for “Ford’s Automobile” on the top, a street name, “High Street,” on the front, and “General,” the name of the bus company, on the sides and front. The orange and red combination of colors may be a bit imaginative, but the bus has realistic parts, a rear stairwell, upperdeck bench seating and a driver. It moves by a wind-up clockwork mechanism.

The 9 1/2-inch toy, part of a well-known collection, sold for $2,006. *** Q: My plastic-and-metal Mickey Mouse tea set is in its original box and has never been opened. It has four plates, four cups and saucers, four sets of flatware and a

teapot. The box is labeled “Wolverine Toys, Division of Spang, Inc., Walt Disney Product.”I paid $50 for the set a few years ago at a Midwestern antiques shop. What is the set worth today?

A: Your Disneyana tea set was made after 1968, the year Wolverine Toy Co. of Pittsburgh was purchased by Spang Industries of Butler, Pa. The company moved operations to Arkansas in 1971.

Disney tea sets, even plastic ones made in the 1970s, are wanted by collectors.

Yours could sell today for $100 to $150. *** Q: I’m considering buying an oak rolltop desk made by Grand Rapids Desk Co. It had been painted black but has been restored to its original oak finish. The hardware is not original, except for the lock that’s marked “1887, Grand Rapids Desk Co.” The desk is 41 inches high, 40 inches wide and 18 inches deep. The asking price is $600. Is that too much?

A: So many furniture companies were based in Grand Rapids, Mich., by the 1920s that the city was called “The Furniture Capital of America.” It also has been called “Furniture City” because it has been a center of furniture-making since the late 1800s. The Grand Rapids Desk Co. was founded in Grand Rapids in 1893. It moved to Muskegon, Mich., in 1898 after a factory fire, and desks made after 1898 list Muskegon as the city of manufacture. The company changed owners a few times before closing in 1931. A retail price of $600 is fair for a roll-top desk in good condition. Some sell for more. ***

Double-decker buses are still used, but this tin toy bus was made in the 1930s and looks old-fashioned. The 9 1/2-inch German toy auctioned for $2,006 at Bertoia Auctions in Vineland, N.J. Q: Many years ago, I was given a battery-operated toy monkey holding a cymbal in each hand. When it’s turned on, the monkey claps the cymbals together, and when it’s tapped on the head, it stops clapping and makes a squealing noise. Then it goes back to clapping the cymbals again. It’s about 10 inches high.

How old is it and is it worth anything?

A: Your cymbal-playing monkey was made in Japan from the 1950s into the ‘70s by a company named “C-K.” The toy is called “Musical Jolly Chimp.” It was a popular toy and similar versions were made by other companies. The cymbalplaying monkey even appeared in the movie “Toy Story 3.” The value of your toy is $150 to $300, depending on its condition. The original box adds value. *** Q: I just read your column about vintage slot machines. I own a similar countertop machine that’s still in its original box.

The silver-colored metal nameplate on

the front of the blue machine states it’s an “Atom Ball Gum Vendor.” Embossed on the top are the words, “Win a carton, 10 packs of cigarettes, line up 3 of a kind.” If you insert a dime, the three small windows on the top show spinning images of cigarette brands. If the three line up with the same brand, a customer won a box of cigarettes. If they didn’t line up, all you got was a gumball. My dad placed machines like this in bars and nightclubs in Iowa. The machines were bolted to countertops, and every so often I would go with him to refill the gumballs and remove the dimes. When the gambling machines were outlawed, he had to get rid of them so he dumped them in the river. But I hid this one in the attic. What is it worth?

A: Your “trade stimulator” was made in 1949 by Groetchen Tool & Manufacturing Co. of Chicago. It’s exactly like the company’s Imp machine, introduced in 1940. But the dawn of the atomic age after World War II meant that a lot of things were renamed “Atom” or “Atomic.” Trade stimulators, which made money for shop owners, were banned in many states even before the federal ban in 1951. But vintage machines can be legally bought and sold in many states now. Just be sure to check your own state’s laws before you sell. Your Atom machine is valued at about $165.

But with the original box, it could sell for much more. *** Tip: Andirons get tarnished and covered with resin from smoke, so they should be regularly cleaned with liquid metal polish and 0000-grade steel wool.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

– United Feature Syndicate

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You could be very lucky in the year ahead where your personal relationships are concerned. It looks like you will have more friends than ever, and they’ll all be willing to help you out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Involvements with authority figures will work out in your favor, whether they were deliberately orchestrated or occur by happenstance.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Establish some definite objectives for the day, but keep them private. You’ll find that you will perform far more effectively if you don’t have to justify your intentions to others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Certain knowledge you recently acquired can be used constructively on a current project. You can not only better your own lot in life, but improve things for associates as well.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take the reins, because your leadership abilities can be a critical factor in revitalizing a joint endeavor that has been going downhill. Your new direction can produce success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – It looks like balance and harmony can be restored in a situation that has become increasingly unsettling. Your efforts, coupled with another’s, will be mostly responsible for the improvement.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Certain things that have been impossible to handle on your own can be achieved with the help of surrogates if you motivate them properly.

Make sure they can benefit as well, and you’ll all do quite well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A partnership arrangement can become far more productive if you provide the initiative and let the other person serve as a backup. It could be totally up to you to rev the engines.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A number of important assignments you’ve been unable to conclude satisfactorily can be finalized by prioritizing them and then knocking them off one at a time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Your popularity is peaking right now, and the impression you’re making in your social encounters is favorable and lasting. You’ll not find a better time to circulate and make new friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Financial trends are far more favorable than they might be tomorrow. If you’re involved in something that could spell profit, make every minute count.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ll not only be a fast thinker, but you should also be able to express yourself in an eloquent and effective manner. All your comments will receive serious consideration.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A venture in which you’re presently involved looks like it could be turned into a financial winner, even though you might have to use a slightly different approach than you normally would.

Jude Law talks about ‘Side Effects,’ other new projects

By ED SYMKUS GateHouse News Service London native David Jude Law slowly came up through the acting ranks like so many of his contemporaries: a stint at the National Youth Music Theatre, some work in British TV soaps, then lots of time on the stage.

Things changed in the mid-’90s when he scored a Tony nomination on Broadway for “Indiscretions.” Soon after, he had a solid costarring role in his first film, “Gattaca.” Law considers landing his part in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” to be his big break, or as he puts it, “the turning point.”

He’s since gone on to play an automaton in “A.I. Artificial Intelligence,” a hideously scarred lout in “Road to Perdition,” a cad in “Alfie,” a different kind of cad in “Sleuth,” the great Dr. Watson in “Sherlock Holmes” and its sequel, and a cuckolded husband in “Anna Karenina.”

In the new thriller “Side Effects,” he plays a workaholic psychiatrist whose newest patient (Rooney Mara) proves to be his toughest case. The film opens Feb. 8.

Law, 40, has already finished filming “Dom Hemingway,” is midway through “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” and will star in “Henry V” on the London stage this fall. He recently spoke about himself and his profession in Los Angeles.

Ed Symkus: What were your initial thoughts about how to play Dr. Banks in “Side Effects?”

Jude Law: I wanted to make it very clear that this guy was good at what he did, and was aware of the sense of boundaries, of when and how a situation may arise for a psychiatrist and where it will impact his or her private life. But we’re also telling a story. So, as an actor, at some point you have to work out where the drama is best played out. As the story dictates, his life starts to implode, so it was important to me to have a

Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) bites off much more than he can chew in the medical thriller “Side Effects.” sense of him kind of crumbling.

At the same time there was a beautiful subtlety to the story, where you’re not sure whether he’s got the upper hand or whether there’s a time where you think he’s going mad.

ES: Did playing the part make you feel any differently about psychiatrists?

JL: A lot of the discussion around this film is about the abuse of medicine or perhaps relying on medicine for all the wrong reasons. Of course medicine is used for a lot of good reasons, too. I kind of left this job feeling very respectful of psychiatry as a profession.

ES: Did you go to a lot of movies as a kid?

JL: My father would take me to see “The Wild Geese,” “Rocky,” things like that. My mum would take me to see “Ladri di biciclette” and “Padre Padrone.”

They introduced me to two very

different styles of cinema, and I love both.

ES: Is there a story behind the name Jude?

JL: I’m not really sure, but I believe it came from at least two sources: the book “Jude the Obscure” and the [Beatles] song.

ES: How did it feel to turn 40 years old?

JL: It was a liberating opportunity to cut off the shackles. When you’re in your 20s, you’re kind of built up to be the new it boy and all that.

In your 30s you’re knocked down and knocked into shape.

Forty to 50 to 60 I think are exciting decades. The parts are often more meaty. The concentration is often more on your acting than who you are and what you represent. I think that’s a really exciting future, and that’s all I’ve ever really been interested in.

So, 40 is certainly a marker that I feel is talking me in the right direction.

Wife intolerant of illness needs lesson Dear Abby: My wife and I are both schoolteachers. She hates to call in sick and often teaches class when she says she feels ill. I don’t argue with her.

The problem arises when I am not feeling well. When I am sick and feverish, I’m not inclined to rise from my sickbed and go to work. On those few occasions, my wife objects strenuously.

She interrogates me about my symptoms, then makes her own “diagnosis” on the spot. Apparently, her gold standard for staying home is the inability to stand.

This creates a problem for me at work because co-workers are concerned about catching my obvious illness. The last time I felt sick, my wife ordered me to go to work. When I saw a doctor afterward, I was told I had a virus and should be in bed. My wife still objected to my missing work.

I missed a grand total of two days because of it.

Then, since I was staying home “doing nothing,” my wife insisted I care for our two children (ages 3 and 1), rather than send them to

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips my mother-in-law who baby-sits while we work.

Today a staff member called in sick with the same virus I had.

Everyone looked at me as the responsible party.

If I stay home, my wife will dump the kids on me and give me the cold shoulder. If I go to work, I expose my co-workers and perform poorly. Help! – At A Total Loss in Corpus Christi Dear Total Loss: It appears you married a woman who is not only lacking in empathy, but also is a controlling, slave-driving witch.

Unless you can find the backbone to take control of the situation and stop acting like a victim, your wife will continue to punish you when you’re least able to defend yourself – and nothing will change.

P.S. A teacher with a virus can not only infect co-workers and administrative staff, but also his

students – not to mention his own children. Please point that out to “Simone Legree.”

Dear Abby: The adage, “If you don’t have anything nice to say ...” is easier said than done. When I am tired or stressed, I have a tendency to be less tolerant of others’ quirks, and sometimes I voice my annoyance. While my opinions do have a basis, I sometimes feel guilty about hurting the person’s feelings.

My intolerance is probably due to unhappiness about my own life.

So how do I allow these annoyances to roll off my back? – Can’t Tolerate Fools in Des Moines Dear Can’t Tolerate Fools: One way to do that would be to remind yourself that the more you take your unhappiness out on those around you, the more you will isolate yourself. When you are tired or stressed, ask yourself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it helpful? And if what you were about to say is not all three, bite your tongue.

Natural remedies for hot flashes not well studied Dear Doctor K: I’m having menopausal hot flashes, but I don’t want to take hormone therapy.

Can you tell me about natural remedies?

Dear Reader: Natural remedies can help for hot flashes, but hormone therapy is helpful more often. For that reason, I’ll come back to the pluses and minuses of hormone therapy after answering your question.

You don’t need this explanation, but some readers who have not experienced them may not be sure what hot flashes are. They’re brief but intensely uncomfortable feelings of warmth followed by drenching perspiration. They’re common during menopause, but not all women get them. They can be accompanied by heart palpitations, dizziness or weakness, and they can cause sleepless nights followed by irritability and exhaustion during the day. At their worst, they can really interfere with a woman’s life.

There are traditional medicines other than hormone therapy that can help with hot flashes.

These include drugs that relax blood vessels as well as certain antidepressants.

Several herbal remedies claim to help prevent or treat hot flashes, but most have not been well

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff studied. There is some evidence that the herb black cohosh may be effective.

You can take steps to help make hot flashes less severe or less frequent – steps that don’t require either traditional medicines or “natural remedies”: •฀Drink฀a฀glass฀of฀cool฀water฀at฀ the beginning of a hot flash.

•฀Drink฀six฀to฀eight฀glasses฀of฀ water per day.

•฀Plunge฀your฀hands฀in฀cold฀ water and pat it on your face, neck and chest when a hot flash starts.

•฀Begin฀deep-breathing฀exercises at the beginning of a hot flash to help nip it in the bud.

•฀Avoid฀caffeine฀and฀alcohol,฀ which make hot flashes more uncomfortable.

•฀Cut฀down฀on฀red฀wine,฀ chocolate and aged cheeses. They contain a chemical that can trigger hot flashes.

•฀Don’t฀smoke.฀Smoking฀can฀ make hot flashes worse.

•฀Wear฀loose,฀comfortable฀cotton clothing.

•฀Dress฀in฀layers.฀Remove฀some฀ clothing if you suddenly feel hot.

•฀Keep฀your฀house฀cool.฀At฀ work, open a window or use a small portable fan.

•฀At฀night,฀use฀lightweight฀ blankets that can be removed.

•฀Engage฀in฀regular฀vigorous฀ exercise.

Now let’s come back to hormone therapy. Here’s the bottom line – at least for me – of a complicated story. The most effective medication for hot flashes is the hormone estrogen. If you’re 60 or over, or are 10 years past entering menopause, I would stay away from hormone therapy. I think it does increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.

However, if you are entering menopause – which typically occurs in a woman’s late 40s or early 50s – I think the evidence does not show an increased risk of heart disease.

Indeed, hormone therapy taken at that age to relieve hot flashes may actually protect you from heart disease. I’ll address the question of how your age affects your risk from hormone therapy in another column.

•฀Dr.฀Komaroff฀is฀a฀physician฀ and professor at Harvard Medical School.฀Visit฀www.AskDoctorK. com to send questions and get additional information.

Daughter deserved praise, not punishment Dr. Wallace: Last night I went to a party with a guy. It was our first date. During the evening he got really drunk. He wanted to drive me home, but I wouldn’t ride with him because he was too drunk to drive.

I wound up spending the night at my friend’s house (the girl who had the party) because we live about 20 minutes away and the party ended at 12:30 a.m.

I called my parents, but they didn’t answer the telephone because they were asleep. I called at 7 a.m. the following day, and they were in a tizzy because they were up, and they didn’t know where I was.

They had already called the police and reported me as missing.

Now I’m grounded for a month because they said I should have continued to call because eventually they would have heard the phone ring. I only called once, but I let it ring at least 10 times.

I think my parents are wrong for grounding me. Please let me hear what you have to say. It could influence their poor decision. – Nameless, St. Charles, Ill. Dear Nameless: Being a passenger with a driver who has been drinking is very risky. Your life was too important to take the risk.

The alternatives for riding with a driver who has been drinking include: getting a ride home from a friend who has not been drinking, having a parent or trusted adult pick you up, taking a taxi even if you don’t have the necessary funds (mom and dad will gladly pay the bill), spending

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace the night at a friend’s house.

You were 100 percent correct in what you did. Your parents were highly concerned when they didn’t find you at home, and they probably overreacted by punishing you instead of praising you. I’m positive that they will change their minds for the better.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 17-year-old guy and work part time after school and on Saturday mornings at a fast-food restaurant.

I live at home with my mother, who doesn’t drive, and a younger sister. Because my mom doesn’t drive, I don’t have access to a car. I get to school and to my job on a bicycle.

One of my fellow employees is a girl who’s also 17. Julie is nice and attractive.

Lately, we have become rather friendly at work, and I’d like to take her out. But since I don’t have a car, I don’t know how to approach her on the subject.

She owns a car and drives to work. Would it be considered in poor taste if I asked her out and then asked her to drive? – Mario, Alameda, Calif.

Dear Mario: Tell Julie that you’d like to take her out, but that she would have to drive if her answer is yes. Of course, insist on paying for the gasoline and the date.

I have the feeling that she’ll go for the deal. It’s worth a try.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Tuesday, February 5, 2013

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Victor Hugo wrote, “He who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of the most busy life.”

A declarer who every first trick plans the transactions of the deal, and follows that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through a labyrinth of a most busy deal.

That is true, but declarers must always be ready to change their plans if necessary. For example, look at today’s club suit. If South has no other worries, what is his best play for four tricks?

Then, South is in three no-trump.

West leads the heart six: five, jack, king. How should declarer plan the transactions of the deal?

South has seven top tricks: two spades, one heart (trick one), two diamonds and two clubs. He needs two – not three – more club tricks to get home.

In isolation, the best plan is to cash dummy’s ace, then play low to dummy’s jack on the second round. But one of the main reasons bridge retains its popularity is that the right way to play a suit mathematically will not always be the correct approach in a given deal.

Here, if East gets on play, he will lead a heart through South’s queen. That will not hurt if the hearts are 4-4, but if they are 5-3 or 6-2, the contract will fail. Declarer must work to keep East off play. South should lead a club to the king and cash the ace. Here, the queen drops and South gains an overtrick. But if the queen has not appeared (and the suit is 3-2), declarer plays a third round, hoping for the best.
