Outing to support clean water efforts Fox Valley church partners with organization for global mission

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Imagine a world in which there is no clean water to drink, to cook with or bathe in – where every bit of water is contaminated and there is no mechanism to purify it.

That is the reality in Guatemala, and members of the Fox Valley Presbyterian Church in Geneva decided they wanted to help through a partnership with Living Waters for the World, a global mission of the Presbyterian Church USA. Members have made 11 trips since 2007 to villages in Guatemala, member Fred Filiaggi of Batavia said. Filiaggi said he went on five of the trips.

“One out of five children

die from waterborne illness before the age of five,” Filiaggi said. “We are doing this, essentially, village by village in the northwest and southwest regions. We work with institutions, primarily schools and health clinics, where they have established people who can help run and operate a system once it is installed.”

Normally, the church’s annual rummage sale raises about $14,000 toward the $20,000 cost to send two teams of six to eight per year with materials and installation, Filiaggi said.

But with a portion of the church under construction this year, members are now relying on a charity golf outing – called Links for Living Waters – scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Aug. 23 at Mill Creek Golf Course, 39W525 Herrington

Drive, Blackberry Township.

It features a shotgun start at 1 p.m. and concludes with dinner at 5:30 p.m.

A foursome costs $300, individual registrations are $75 each, includes dinner, golf prizes and drawings for prizes.

The cost of attending the dinner is $50.

Advance registration is required, said Sally Cable, a church member from Geneva, who is organizing the charity golf event.

“We can have a maximum of 144 golfers, and we are getting close,” Cable said.

“People can register through 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19, because I have to let the golf course know how many.”

But, Cable said, those who want the dinner-only option can register all week.

machines and household batteries may be dropped off.

Some items, such as air conditioners, car batteries, fire extinguishers, light bulbs and smoke alarms, will not be taken.

three trips to the western U.S. and Canada, and one or two bus trips to Midwestern destinations. The group also has gone to Europe.

The following are plans for skiing in 2014: January – bus trip, not yet scheduled; Jan. 18-25 – Whistler Blackcomb resort, seven nights, price $1,439 ($1,095 without lift tickets); Feb. 5-10 – Beaver Creek in Colorado, price $990; February – bus trip, not yet scheduled; March 8-15 – Aspen/Snowmass, seven nights, price $1,409 ($1,055 without lift tickets). Details will be posted at www.snowdrifters. net as they become available.

The effort also is open to anyone who would like to donate by sending a tax-deductible contribution to the church at 227 East Side Drive, Geneva, IL 60134.

Businesses that would want to sponsor holes at this event or to donate items for prize drawings can contact Cable at 630-308-8527 or FVPClivingwatersgolfouting@yahoo.com.

Filiaggi said he hopes the community will support their cause, even if they cannot attend the golf outing.

Providing a sustainable water purification system also has resulted in better all around health for children, he said.

In one village, 70 percent of the children had been malnourished because of the lack of clean water, Filiaggi said.

“It was amazing to see where we install a purification system, attendance at school improves and health improves,” Filaggi said.

‘I am having the time of my life’ Campton Hills resident enjoys his role as Good Humor man

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com

C

AMPTON HILLS – Dick Royce hasn’t changed much from when he was 12, ready and willing to give away ice cream from his bicycle version of the Good Humor truck.

Then, his generosity got him fired after three days.

Now at 65, the Campton Hills retiree can – and does – give away as many ice cream bars, cones and sandwiches as he wants.

After several years of searching, Royce bought his own 1969 Ford Good Humor truck last year from a family in Avon, Conn., and, after minor improvements, had the vehicle ready by about April.

“We got lucky,” Royce said, explaining he was wrong in thinking he would find a Good Humor truck right away. “We got really lucky.”

Although Royce will give away some ice cream – to kids with their parents’ permission and to others who look like they could use a smile – he sells the frozen treats for $2 at special events, such as car shows, community concerts and block parties.

Initially, he said, he thought one event a week would be great.

But word of the Good Humor Man has spread, he said, and his calendar is so full that he has to turn down requests.

“I’m afraid to do advertising,” said Royce, who even dresses in the traditional Good Humor Man uniform of a white shirt, blue bow tie, pants and a hat.

Taking only enough profits to cover his costs, Royce said he donates the rest to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or charities his clients support.

Royce, who has survived two bouts of cancer, said it

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Dick Royce of Campton Hills bought a 1969 Ford and turned it into a Good Humor ice cream truck about five years ago. Royce uses the truck to raise money for charity.

means a lot that he and his wife, Susan, can do something for someone else.

“I’m lucky to be here,” he said.

His wife has been incredibly supportive, he said.

He said he thought she would think he was crazy when he brought up the idea five years ago as they were celebrating 35 years of marriage.

She helps at events when she can, he said.

“I am having the time of my life,” Royce said, adding

it’s a lot of fun to make people smile.

His new role also adds to the fun of being a grandfather, he said.

His oldest grandchild, 3-year-old Bradley DeAngelis, likes to tell other kids what ice cream they can buy, he said.

“He’s my little helper,” Royce said, noting his other grandchildren are Kaliana DeAngelis and John Paul Kottke.

As much as Royce enjoys being the Good Humor Man,

don’t ask him to play the truck’s music.

He hated it growing up, he said.

And if you’ve requested a flavor that has been pushed to the back of the freezer, be patient.

Royce carries about 1,200 treats in the truck and will

dig around for the dessert kids have their hearts set on, he said.

“I don’t want to disappoint anybody,” he said.

He, however, said he doesn’t eat the ice cream.

He’s diabetic.

“I can’t eat any of it,” he said. “It’s willpower.”

BATAVIA – Batavia School District 101 has partnered with Quest Food Management Services.

“Studies have shown that there is an integral link between nutrition, health and learning,” Batavia School Superintendent Lisa Hichens said, according to a news release. “Batavia Public Schools and Quest Food Management Services are committed to improving the health and well-being of our students by serving healthy school meals and helping our children learn about healthy food choices.”

The district’s search for a food service vendor began during the last school year when, based on a pilot breakfast program at Hoover-Wood School, district officials aimed to provide a breakfast option for students at all of its

schools by the end of the 201314 school year.

The school board ultimately approved the new food service contract in May. Quest sought input from the students they hoped to serve.

“Our goal was to find out what they needed and wanted. Our conversations were honest and open,” said Michael McTaggart, President of Quest Food Management Services. “The students at Rotolo Middle School were candid about their expectations from their food service program.

The students at Batavia High School were very specific about how they thought their food court should be.”

One of the recommendations from high school students that Quest integrated into the high school meal program was to provide larger portion sizes than the traditional school meal, while still adhering to nutritional guidelines, according to the release.

Batavia Police Detective Sgt. Shawn Mazza previously said it appears entry was made through an open garage in one case and possibly through some unlocked windows in the other two cases.

Mazza said homeowners were home during the burglaries in all three cases and had no idea someone was in their house until they noticed items missing.

The burglar or burglars appear to have taken small electronics, such as smart phones.

None of the homeowners were approached by burglars, Mazza added.

The Batavia Police Department encourages all residents to continue to lock their doors and windows, especially at ground level and close their garage doors before going to bed.

River Rockhouse restaurant to reopen Monday

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The owners of River Rockhouse in downtown St. Charles will plan for a reopening of the restaurant portion of the business Monday at 106 S. Riverside Ave., St. Charles.

or two. The new restaurant, which will be open for lunch and dinner, will be a family friendly restaurant specializing in craft beer and pizza, Turner said.

An individual who previously operated a restaurant in California will lease the space, he said.

“He wants to try craft beers and do good food and good service,” Turner said.

“I think that it will do very well.”

The River Rockhouse in

July announced on its Facebook page it was closing temporarily. The music portion of the venue remains closed.

Turner said the River Rockhouse had struggled to draw enough patrons to its live music shows to justify operation of the venue.

The club previously had operated as Chord on Blues after it opened in 1996. But in spring 2012, the owners decided to take the club in a new musical direction, changing its name to the River Rock-

house and bringing in rock and indie bands.

The club also featured comedy acts.

Even in 2013, people scoff at reliable scientific data The afternoon sun baked my wife, Tia, and me as we stood on top of the great dune at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Below us, stretching to the western horizon, Lake Michigan spread like an aquamarine desert.

The guidebook told us we couldn’t see Wisconsin because of the earth’s curvature. Yup, except for the Flat Earth Society, science has convinced most people that we ride a spherical planet.

Even in this new millennium, however, folks scoff at reliable scientific data. Global warming-deniers take an umbrella if a climatologist predicts rain, but ignore the fact that global warming is likely being caused by humans, at least according to 97 percent of studies taking a stance on whether global warming is manmade.

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger Climate change affects all parts of the globe, resulting in extreme and repeated heat waves, fires, droughts, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes that we no longer can blame solely on Mother Nature.

Catastrophic events, however, are not nature’s alone – human error and psychopathologies create their share. In Canada, a railroad worker fails to brake several oil cars properly.

A deranged shooter scours a cineplex or school. And who’s to say when a dirty bomb, eluding the likes of Jack Bauer from “24,” might explode?

Serendipitously, Tia

pointed out in the current Better Homes and Gardens, “September is National Preparedness Month, which means it’s time to plan for the worst, hope for the best, and stock up on essentials – like batteries and chocolate.”

Inspired by these call to arms, I contacted Don Bryant, director of the Kane County Office of Emergency Management. To prepare for horrific events, “The first thing everyone should have,” he counseled, “is a family emergency plan for what to do if separated, and where to meet. The second most important thing to have is a preparedness kit.”

“Like canned food and water?”

“Enough food and water for three days for each member of the family,” Bryant explained, adding other

important items to the list, such as prescription medicines and contact information for relatives, friends and emergency services.

Bryant suggested visiting www.kcoem.org, “full of links to FEMA, Red Cross and others,” so I did. Selecting FEMA’s Ready.gov site, I clicked on “Build a Kit” and then “Basic Disaster Supplies Kit” and found lots of items we didn’t even have in the house.

“Be aware a threat exists,” Bryant answered when questioned about how best to face catastrophic conditions.

I guess that means taking shelter in your basement or an interior room when hearing a tornado siren, instead of ooh-ing and aah-ing the approaching storm through a large plate glass window.

In an episode of “TED Talks,” Vicki Arroyo, a pro-

fessor and executive director of the Georgetown Climate Center, echoes Speaker Tip O’Neil’s “All politics is local,” by urging, “ ... look to our homes, our communities, our vulnerabilities and our exposures to risk ... to find ways not to just survive, but to thrive.”

Or keep telling ourselves the earth is flat, and that nothing bad ever will happen here.

president of the Midwest Region, chief membership office and chief marketing officer at Members United Corporate Federal Credit Union.

Waubonsee traffic signal work to start

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Work is expected to start in the next few weeks on the installation of a traffic signal at the north entrance to Waubonsee Community College’s Sugar Grove campus, where two WCC students were killed in a 2010 car crash.

Ryan Sherrod, 18, and Brandon Utley, 19, both of North Aurora, were killed April 14, 2010, after Sherrod’s Chrysler was struck by an Allied Waste Services garbage truck on Route 47 at the north

entrance.

The Illinois Department of Transportation will manage the project. Aurora-based Geneva Construction Company, the lowest of five bidders, has been awarded the contract for the $1.2 million project.

Waubonsee officials have been pushing to move the project forward.

“I can’t say when the traffic lights will be completed,” David Quillen, WCC’s executive vice president of finance and operations, said Thursday. “We are pushing to get it operational as fast as we can.”

During the work, the intersection will remain open, Quillen said. The college has received federal highway safety funds that will pay for 90 percent of the project’s cost. The remaining 10 percent is being picked up by the college.

The speed limit is 55 mph on that stretch of Route 47.

In studying the intersection, IDOT found the speed was appropriate.

Since the crash, IDOT has installed intersection warning lights with flashing beacons for northbound and southbound traffic.

Chris Hoff Kane County Health Department spokesman and one in Aurora – also have tested positive for the virus, Hoff said.

He added mosquitoes in the trap near Algonquin tested positive for the virus twice this year.

Last year, health officials found 13 human cases of West Nile virus, but none have surfaced so far this year.

Though only about two out of every 10 people bitten by an infected mosquito show

symptoms of the virus, it can be severe or even deadly, especially for those older than 50, officials said.

Symptoms typically appear three to 14 days after a bite from an infected mosquito and can include fever, headache and body ache. In severe cases, it can cause encephalitis and meningitis.

Hoff said people can take easy measures to protect themselves from becoming infected, such as wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants and wearing repellant. Other steps include making sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens and changing water in bird baths weekly.

For information about West Nile virus, visit www.kanehealth.com/west_nile.htm or call the state’s West Nile hotline at 866-369-9710.

ELGIN – Mosquitoes in an Elgin trap have tested positive for West Nile virus, making it the seventh trap in Kane County to contain infected mosquitoes this year.

Chris Hoff, spokesman for the Kane County Health Department, said this usually is the time of year West Nile starts to surface in the area.

“Typically, the season does peak in late July through August,” he said. “It’s not unusual to see this many traps [containing West Nile-infected mosquitoes].”

In addition to Elgin, traps in or near Batavia, Aurora, Montgomery and Algonquin have contained mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus.

Geneva graduate injured in beating

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com James Burge, a 1988 graduate of Geneva High School who was severely beaten at his home in Winnebago County near Rockford, has been released from a Rockford hospital and is now home, his family said.

Burge, 44, suffered broken bones to his face and bleeding in his brain after an attack outside of his house on Oaklane Road, said his sister April Dodd, of Texas.

The incident occurred about 6:30 p.m. SatJames Burge urday and involved a white man in a white vehicle, Winnebago County Deputy Chief Dominic Iasparro said.

“We need to identify the person involved,” Iasparro said. “This is a full-scale investigation. This is a severe battery. … We’re trying to determine why it happened and

He was attacked by unknown person in Rockford who was involved.”

Burge’s wife, Julie, and neighbors have speculated Burge might have called out to a speeding driver to slow down, and it was that driver who beat him. But Iasparro said police cannot guess or speculate about what happened.

“That is why we are conducting an investigation as to why it happened,” Iasparro said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 888-769-7867.

Dodd said her brother went to a hospital with broken bones in his face, a detached earlobe and teeth knocked out. But said the broken bones were not shattered and will align and heal without surgery.

“His short-term memory is affected. His gross motor skills have taken a hit,” Dodd said.

“He stumbles when he walks. He does not remember

the attack. He asked why he was in the hospital.

He continues to ask, ‘What happened to me?’ Yesterday he asked, ‘Why would anybody want to hurt me? Everybody likes me.’ “ Dodd said her family lived in the Naperville and Warrenville area before moving to Geneva in the 1960s.

She is the youngest of six, and her brother is the second-youngest who went to Geneva High School.

The family no longer lives in the area.

“My brothers were very well-known,” Dodd said. “Another brother was the tough guy. Jim was mild-mannered, a peacemaker.”

Julie Burge said they live “in the middle of nowhere” on a dead-end street with about a dozen houses on one side and a cornfield on the other. Up to 20 children play in the area and it is not unusual for her husband or other parents and neighbors to step up and call

to a speeding driver to slow down.

She was not home when it happened, but heard the details from neighbors.

“I missed it by about five minutes,” Julie Burge said.

“It was a white, four-door newer model [car] driven by a white man. The two main witnesses were kids. One of the kids’ grandfather saw the car fly by, and the guy was wearing a red baseball cap. One of the little boys told his grandfather to call 911, ‘Somebody is getting beat up.’ “ Julie Burge said her husband was not only beaten with fists, but dragged to a foxhole about 3 feet deep by 5 feet wide – built in a nearby cornfield by neighborhood boys.

The attacker put her husband down in the hole and then kicked him in the head repeatedly.

“It was very brutal and very quick,” she said. “It only took about five minutes, and

To Help Donations to help with James Burge’s medical bills and expenses can be made online by following the prompts on his sister April Dodd’s website, www.aprildodd.com. then he jumped into his car and took off.”

To compound matters, James Burge was laid off from his job as a golf course manager and was looking forward to moving to Michigan, where he had a job offer. The family has no insurance, so Dodd set up a way for people to donate and help with the family’s medical bills and expenses.

Donations may be made online by following the prompts on Dodd’s website, www.aprildodd.com.

Geneva, NIU grad looking for a long stay with Falcons

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

P

at Schiller reportedly flashed across the screen during this week’s episode of HBO’s “Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Cincinnati Bengals.”

A linebacker vying for a roster spot with the Atlanta Falcons, who hosted Cincinnati in the preseason opener Aug. 8, Schiller hopes the cameo concept only applies to cable TV. Schiller went to training camp with the Falcons last season and spent only a few hours in his hometown of Geneva before the team wanted him back on its practice squad after the final cut.

The undrafted free agent’s late-summer days are heavily regimented, and he spends them working tirelessly knowing nothing is guaranteed.

“You’ve got to keep a positive mindset, because training camp is all about evaluation, and it’s hard figuring out where you stand in the mix of things,” Schiller said. “They’re in a tough evaluation process for the coaches right now, because they’re looking at everybody and seeing what they can do in certain situations and see how they react to it.”

Mission accomplished against the camera-savvy Bengals. Listed as a middle linebacker on Atlanta’s depth chart – he thrived at the position during his collegiate career at Northern Illinois – Schiller moved to weak-side linebacker for the preseason opener when starter Sean Witherspoon suffered a left finger injury.

Having played his share on the weak side during offseason organized team activities, Schiller simply adapted, recording five tackles while accumulating further confidence leading up to Thursday night’s preseason game at

Little League Baseball World Series, double elimination, Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) vs. Taoyuan, Taiwan (Asia-Pacific), at South Williamsport, Pa., noon, ESPN World Series, double elimination, Chula Vista, Calif.

The family of Pat Schiller (center), including his parents, Cathy and Pat, recently visited him at Atlanta Falcons training camp in Flowery Branch, Ga. A former Geneva and Northern Illinois linebacker, Schiller is trying to make the Atlanta Falcons’ 53-man roster. He made five tackles during the team’s preseason opener against Cincinnati last week.

Baltimore.

The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder plays at about the same size he did in 2012, but feels more flexible after an offseason that included regular workouts at Batavia-based Pro Force Sports Performance Training.

“I think the biggest thing that the team wants is just for you to be able to move, and speed and quickness to the ball,” Schiller said. “As long as you have that and you have a decent weight on you, they really could care less how much you weigh.”

Schiller extended his brand of southern hospitality during his family’s recent visit to Georgia. He hosted his parents, Pat and Cathy, while pampering older sister Stephanie, who is seven-months pregnant. The trip marked

his brother-in-law’s first time in Atlanta.

The Schillers stayed at their son’s gated apartment complex and mixed trips to the pool with visits to training camp in Flowery Branch, Ga., as well as the preseason opener.

“He had a good first game, a good amount of playing time and he felt he did well considering that they just told him two days before the game he’d be moving to outside after doing all that work at middle,” Cathy Schiller said.

Beyond Witherspoon, Akeem Dent and Stephen Nicholas, the Falcons’ linebacking corps lacks heavy NFL experience. Schiller is one of five hopefuls who have not appeared in a regular season game.

Still, Schiller knows he

can take nothing for granted.

Not his home. Not the pool, and certainly not the as-seenon-TV No. 50 jersey.

So he isn’t.

“The biggest thing is keeping a positive attitude. You can only control what you can control,” Schiller said. “It’s a numbers game, so at the end of the day, you’ve just got to go out there and give it your best and try to put out the best film possible, because not only are you being evaluated by the Atlanta Falcons, but you’re being evaluated by all other 31 teams, and they all want your film, too.

“Hopefully at the end of the day, I’m with the Falcons, but if they choose to go another way, I believe that if I put good film out there, I’ll be somewhere, and they’ll see it.”

St. Charles North’s Abby Howlett gets an out at first base during a game at St. Charles East this spring.

Howlett has committed to play softball at Northern Illinois University.

Charles North, batting .510 and driving in a team-leading 39 RBIs while earning Kane County Chronicle First-Team All-Area honors.

She continued to wield a dangerous bat this summer for the Diamonds’ 16U team, coached by Bill Morrow.

“The summer went pretty well,” Howlett said. “We got first in 18U Metro [at Elgin

Sports Complex] as a 16U team, so that was good, and then we went out to California and Colorado and those tournaments were a little bit more tough, but overall I thought we had a good season.”

Kaneland senior outfielder Lexi Roach is another Diamond who made a Division I commitment, choosing

Youngstown State. Roach played for the Diamonds’ 18U team this summer.

Roach’s 18U teammates included St. Charles North’s Mickey Goetz and St. Charles East’s Haley Beno, both of whom recently opted for Olivet Nazarene. Beno, now a senior, was the top pitcher this spring for the IHSA Class 4A state runners-up Saints,

coach at Wheaton Academy in 2009.

He assisted Ken Ellis for the first two years and coached under McFarland the past two years.

“The program has had great success considering we started from scratch in 2009 and 23 of our 25 wrestlers had never wrestled before,” Doherty said in a news release.

“The last couple years we have struggled with having fewer wrestlers come out for the program, but are confident we will turn the corner on that.”

Alex Budzisz, John Gemmel and Josh Dutton finished second at regionals this past season and Chris Williams finished fourth.

All four athletes advanced to sectionals.

The Wasco Diamonds reconvened after a two-week break Wednesday to gear up for fall ball, and there was plenty for the girls to chatter about.

A flurry of college commitments in the past week and a half from Diamonds players – five of the six from area players – made for a festive reunion.

“It’s been great, and really fun,” St. Charles North junior first baseman Abby Howlett said. “It’s always exciting when someone comes to practice and shares news that they committed, and everyone is happy for them.

Having a ton of people commit is really exciting and good.”

Howlett made one of the biggest splashes among the Diamonds, a highly regarded travel softball program. The left-handed hitting slugger committed Tuesday to Northern Illinois, the school her father, Mike, attended.

A pair of Diamonds alumni – including Kaneland graduate Delani Vest – play for the Huskies, who advanced to the Mid-American Conference Tournament championship game last season. Howlett said she grew fond of the program while attending camps in DeKalb over the years.

Howlett had a dynamite sophomore season for St.

and followed teammate Sarah Collalti’s commitment to Olivet Nazarene earlier this offseason.

Another Saint, slugging first baseman Kate Peterburs, was also among the recent batch of Diamonds commitments, picking Wisconsin-Parkside. Morrow said Peterburs likely will play third base in college.

Downers Grove South’s Jessica Andree was the other Diamond to make an August decision, selecting Division-I Belmont (Tenn.).

Morrow, president of the Diamonds organization, is gratified by the program’s success at funneling players into college softball.

“Our program is getting better and better about being invited to special exposure events,” Morrow said. “We went from a travel program that was about just getting the kids out there and playing competitively to being a travel program that our main objective is to help these kids with their college tuition, get them into schools and having them be able to play the game they love while they’re getting a good education.”

Morrow’s daughter, Burlington Central pitcher Angie Morrow, committed to Wisconsin last year, while fellow Diamond and Central standout Bekah Harnish will be a college teammate of Howlett’s at NIU.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE BURLINGTON, Iowa – Marco Hernandez cracked a solo home run in the second inning as the Cougars shutout the Burlington Bees, 1-0, to even a three-game series Thursday night at Community Field.

his third home run of the year to give the Cougars (1932, 49-68) a 1-0 lead. DeLoach would finish after four innings allowing just two hits Marco while striking Hernandez out two.

That solo home run turned out to be all that the Cougars needed.

Tyler Skulina, the Cubs’

fourth-round pick in June, started and retired the first five batters he faced.

The righty worked three innings, allowed two hits and struck out four without issuing a walk.

Second-round draft pick Robb Zastryzny (1-0) followed with three shutout innings of his own.

The lefty walked two but allowed just two hits while striking out four.

Nathan Dorris relieved

Zastryzny and found himself in trouble after walking two of the first three batters he faced in the seventh inning. Dorris would retire the next two hitters on a fly out and strike out to end the threat. Overall, the lefty went two hitless innings while striking out four.

Stephen Perakslis earned the save working an eventful ninth.

The first batter, Julio Concepcion, reached second on a throwing error from Hernan-

dez. He moved to third on a fly ball to put the tying run at third. With the infield in, Matt Scioscia bounced a ball to third baseman Giuseppe Papaccio. Concepcion took off for the plate and was caught in a run down before being retired on a 5-2-6-1-5 fielder’s choice.

With Scioscia at second after the rundown, Perakslis struck out Chevy Clarke to end the game and earn his sixth save in six chances.

NIU FOOTBALL

By LUKE SRODULSKI

lsrodulski@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Upon first glance, Northern Illinois sophomore Juwan Brescacin doesn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary for a Mid-American Conference wide receiver: big, strong and athletic.

But the 6-foot-4 Brescacin is not your typical college football player. His story began in Mississauga, Ontario, where he grew up and learned to play football. Only he didn’t start off as a wideout. He played quarterback.

After his sophomore year, Brescacin moved to Indiana and began attending Culver Military Academy. There, he was a wide receiver, and he broke the school’s career records for receiving yards, receptions and touchdown catches in two seasons.

He was also a standout on the basketball court, but the gridiron was where he drew the attention of then-NIU coach Jerry Kill. Kill took a job at Minnesota near the end of the 2010 season, Brescacin’s senior year, but Kill continued to show interest.

Kill decided on another wide receiver recruit over Brescacin. Fortunately for him, the Huskies’ Dave Doeren continued to show interest, and when he offered Brescacin just before the NIU

spring game in 2011, it was an easy decision for Brescacin to commit.

NIU coach Rod Carey, who was then the offensive line coach, liked what he saw.

“He was just a big, athletic guy that made plays,” Carey said. “That’s really what the most impressive thing was coming off of his recruiting film.”

Brescacin was given a redshirt as a freshman in 2011, and the next year, he was caught in the shadows of more-experienced receivers like Martel Moore and Perez Ashford. Still, he racked up 223 yards on the season with an average of 20.3 a catch.

Now, Moore and Ashford are gone, and a lot of expectations are falling on Brescacin to make up for some of the lost production.

“He’s gotten a lot better at his route running, a lot better at his ball skills, his attention to detail, the way he pushes, and I think he’s gotten faster,” Carey said. “The ceiling’s as high as he wants to make it.”

Brescacin isn’t going into this year focusing on reaching a certain number or yards or catching a certain number of touchdowns. He just wants to improve.

“I’d like to progress every year and just continue to be better,” he said. “I’m looking to get a leadership role and keep the NIU legacy going.”

San Diegans focus on Te’o, not his past

By KEVIN ACEE U-T San Diego San Diegans have dissected a surplus of Manti Te’o topics the past 3½ months.

They’ve discussed his perceived leadership skills, his relative lack of physicality, his instincts on the field, his smile, his Pacific Island heritage, his mass-media appeal and even the nuances involved in properly pronouncing his surname.

One thing they have not spent much time fretting about is Lennay Kekua.

“I don’t know that it has been talked about that much,” San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “We didn’t care. He’s been great in the locker room, great on the field. So we don’t care about all that.

It’s been the story that was a non-story.”

It’s as if Kekua never existed.

So what if the whole country had talked out the

girlfriend hoax by the time the Chargers traded up seven spots to take Te’o with the 38th overall pick in the draft?

San Diego fans are that desperate to love a winning team again.

Players are too focused on a culture change within the franchise Manti Te’o to get worked up about the new kid’s social life. The local media is relatively staid. Plus, the renowned rookie handled himself with so much humility.

Whether it was one of those factors or a combination, there’s no denying San Diego has showered Te’o with unconditional love.

The former Notre Dame linebacker was in Chicago for an exhibition game Thursday against the Bears, although a sprained foot suffered during his ninesnap NFL debut a week ago

limited him to trolling the sideline in a protective boot.

“Anytime I don’t get to play, I’m very disappointed, especially playing in Chicago,” Te’o said. “I know a lot of people there, and that’s something I was definitely looking forward to.”

There presumably will be more opportunities to see him.

Te’o has worked with the Chargers’ first team since the first practice. There never was a question that he would start.

“I see what’s going to be a heck of a football player,” center Nick Hardwick said this summer. “He knows where the ball is going. He’s really quick to react on it.”

The fact is, rare has been the Chargers rookie who looked as NFL-ready as Te’o did in those initial workouts.

And right into training camp and the preseason, he mostly has continued to impress.

During camp, the local newspaper has run a brief

“Te’o Watch” in the paper every day. Even if it’s just 20 words, San Diego gets an update on how he looked on the field or drinking water or joking with teammates.

Anything Te’o is newsworthy.

The Chargers’ media-relations staff was determined in its efforts to make sure everyone knew right away that Te’o (Tay-oh) did not rhyme with Seau (Say-ow).

And San Diego was briefly abuzz last week when the team revealed Te’o was actually pronounced (Teh-oh), a semantic that has more to do with how the differences in how some syllables are enunciated between cultures.

By any name, Te’o appears to have landed in just about the most perfect spot he could have after enduring a national embarrassment in January involving an apparent hoax that centered on his supposedly dying girlfriend named Lennay Kekua.

Still, questions remain,

somewhat troubling remnants from the end of his college career, when Notre Dame was throttled by Alabama, 42-14, in the BCS title game.

Te’o’s role in the Chargers’ exhibition opener was likely indicative of how he will be used during the regular season. He played every snap except the three third-down plays in which the Chargers used six defensive backs. How Te’o played must evolve. He looked less-than-aggressive on a couple of snaps, having the block taken to him and being eliminated from plays.

The sample was brief, and the news about his foot diminished what might have been a more widespread critique of his debut.

But San Diego will keep watching.

CB Russell: We will dominate

Hokies look for answers at wide receiver position

By LaMOND POPE Sun-Times News Group SOUTH BEND, Ind. – KeiVarae Russell is in line to be one of the starting cornerbacks for Notre Dame.

But that hasn’t changed the way the sophomore has approached fall camp.

“I’m still fighting each and every day to keep my spot. Tomorrow, I could be a backup,” Russell said this week.

Russell and Bennett Jackson were Notre Dame’s starting cornerbacks for all 13 games last year. Russell had 58 tackles and two interceptions, helping the Irish overcome the loss of Lo Wood to a preseason Achilles injury.

Wood is back. But Russell, along with Bennett, remain as starters.

“There’s no competition there other than the day-to-

“You could make the case that when you’re more experienced back there that you could play more on-body coverages and obviously tie down more.”

Brian Kelly Notre Dame football coach day competition. KeiVarae is our starter,” Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Monday.

Russell was an all-state running back in Washington, rushing for 1,293 yards and 14 touchdowns in for Mariner High School in Everett, Wash., in 2011. He came to Notre Dame and made an immediate impact defensively.

Russell said the year’s

worth of experience has made the secondary a more confident group as a whole.

“Last year, we were going in to play,” Russell said.

“Now we’re going in to dominate.”

And with that experience comes more options.

“You could make the case that when you’re more experienced back there that you could play more on-body coverages and obviously tie down more,” Kelly said.

“Whether we do or not, we certainly have that in our repertoire if we needed it.

“When you’re less experienced, you’re more hesitant to do it. But now that opens the opportunity for us do that if we deem necessary.”

Note: The Sept. 7 game at Michigan will be televised on ESPN, the network announced Thursday. The game begins at 7 p.m.

By MARK GIANNOTTO The Washington Post BLACKSBURG, Va. – Surrounded by reporters, new Virginia Tech wide receivers coach Aaron Moorehead was about to answer a question about his No. 1 wide receiver when the most likely candidate stuck a phone in his face as if it were a voice recorder.

Senior D.J. Coles asked if the team’s wide receivers had a weight issue, fully aware that minutes earlier coach Frank Beamer had said in a news conference that Coles needed to lose some weight to be at his best this season.

Moorehead took the intrusion in stride, noting he had packed on some pounds lately and would be cutting down on his late-night eating and hit-

ting the treadmill more often.

He then turned to Coles and asked, “How are you going to do that?”

Coles simply smiled and walked away, his uncertainty about the situation mirroring that of Virginia Tech’s entire receiving corps with just more than two weeks remaining before the Hokies face two-time defending national champion Alabama in their season opener.

“As a position coach, you’d like . . . to know that you have a number one,” Moorehead said. “And right now, I think that it is disappointing that we don’t.”

With wide receivers Corey Fuller and Marcus Davis now in the NFL, the Hokies are in search of reliable targets for quarterback Logan Thomas.

Local author of ‘Magician’s Doll’ racks up rave reviews Once upon a time there was a middle school student who loved to read stories, enchanting stories that connected with the imagination experiences of her age. Perhaps such a bright and inquiring young lady could be a storyteller herself someday?

That was then. The school was St. Peter’s in Geneva and the student was M.L. Roble.

Now, she is, indeed, a storyteller – a published writer and serious storyteller.

I encountered Ms. Roble after a conversation with her father, Dr. David Roble, whom I met at Pineview. Later, at his

8NEIGHBORS BRIEFS

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry office her mother and sister had proudly set up a display of her book called “The Magician’s Doll.”

The next step for me was to buy a copy for our fifth-grade granddaughter who also loves stories and one for my Kindle since I, too, love a good story.

Both Mazy and I gave the book high praise so I networked with her family to reach this talented writer, and earlier this

week we had a chat.

M.L. shared that she started to concentrate on writing as she progressed to high school at Rosary and at college.

For a time after graduation, she worked full time for a financial organization, but when its office moved out of Chicago, the time seemed right to take stories that had been in her head and put them on paper.

At that time, she joined a sketch comedy group, continued journaling, which she does in cursive, and cranked out her word processor to do her first short story called “Encounter Way: A Novella of Supernat-

ural and Suspense.”

“The Magician’s Doll” is fashioned to be the first of a series.

After savoring the five-star reviews, M.L. is working on the next story, extending the characters, such as 12-yearold Natalie, who one reviewer described by saying she “has special powers yet wants to be like everyone else.”

A critic from the San Francisco Book Review offered these superlatives: “tops the ranks of tween fantasy;” “well developed plot;” “perfect build up of action and suspense;” and “satisfying conclusion.”

M.L. says on her website,

M.L.Roble.com, that the book is available on Amazon.com.

There’s a paperback. I have encouraged her to talk to David Hunt at Townhouse Books in St. Charles about local availability.

Check her out on Facebook, too.

Isn’t this a great hometown story? Wishing you a happily ever after, M.L.!

WHEELS

Kane County Chronicle • Friday, Aug. 16, 2013 • Page 27 • KCChronicle.com

Lexus hybrid isolates owners from world If, while on the road, you want isolation from the world, then the 2014 Lexus 600h L is for you.

The sound barrier surrounding the cabin of this all-wheeldrive, four-door luxury sedan is superb.

Inside, there are the comforts required of a luxury sedan and that includes leather seats, velour trim, multiple power features and a sound system that includes a rear-seat entertainment apparatus. With the right package ($7,335 Executive Package), a passenger sitting in one of the rear seats (behind the front passenger seat) can have his or her body massaged while viewing a movie. The massaging mechanism is part of the package.

The 600h is the hybrid edition of the highest priced sedan in the Lexus lineup and that is the Lexus LS 460. At $119,910, the hybrid costs about $25,000 more than a loaded gasoline-only LS 460. Both are V8s and savings in mileage is negligible. Perhaps the hybrid gets one or two more miles per gallon of premium gasoline, but that will be dictated more by driving habits, weather and road conditions, than by electronic-drive battery componentry. After a week in a recently tested 600h on interstates, county, city and state roadways, the hybrid averaged 21.2 miles per gallon with three persons aboard. Besides the weight of occupants and 50 pounds of luggage, the hybrid also was pulling its weight of 5,203 pounds.

One of the two electric motor-generators is primary and starts the engine. The other drives the rear wheels. Regenerative braking keeps the batteries charged.

The conventional 5-liter V8 engine produces 389 horsepower.

When coupled to the battery pack, the horsepower increases to 438. The power is instantaneous and silent on the highway.

A slight touch of the gas pedal sends this 5,203-pound castle on

Provided photo

The Lexus 600h L hybrid, in conjunction with a V8 gasoline engine, develops 438 horsepower.

BEHIND THE WHEEL Jerry Kuyper wheels quietly and quickly past slower vehicles. Compared to the LS 460, the 600h is, according to factory and media tests, a second faster from 0 to 60 miles per hour. The hybrid, which has a continuously variable transmission, can do it in 5.6 seconds, according to Lexus officials.

Presumably the LS 460 is slower at 5.7 seconds.

The L in the badging of the 600h L, refers to length. In other words, this is the long 121.7-inch wheelbase version of the sedan.

The short version is 116.9 inches.

That means more leg room front and rear so, while watching the movie in a rear seat, one can really stretch out in comfort.

That Executive package, be-

sides a massaging rear seat, included a leg rest, table trimmed in wood, a DVD entertainment system with wireless headphones, 9-inch screen, automatic climate control with air purifier, a cooling box (for the water and sodas), power sunshades on door windows, heated and cooled rear seats with memory settings, rear side airbags ... and the list continues.

With the package, though, the 600h is transformed from a five-passenger to a four-passenger luxury sedan as the rear center console is fixed.

Even though leg room is expansive in front and rear, and there are battery packs to take up space, the trunk still has 13 cubic feet of storage room.

Since it is relatively flat and square, lots of luggage can get stored here. In fact, during the test week, luggage for four for a two-night weekend outing fit in

nicely.

During the trip on backroads and highways, the electronic suspension, 19-inch tires mounted on alloy wheels, and the highly insulated cabin provided a quiet environment for chatting exchanges between front and rear seat occupants.

This is a car designed for long, luxurious trips and silence is absolute from the outset as there is no engine noise when the sedan gets underway. The hybrid battery provides the initial thrust and the silence continues when the V8 takes over. The V8, by the way, when partnered with the battery pack, is the equivalent of power provided by 12 cylinder sedans offered by competing luxury manufacturers.

Safety features include traction and stability controls, antilock brakes, headrests complementing seat belts with

pretensioners, blind spot monitoring cameras and smart stop technology (sensors help bring vehicle to a stop).

Besides the Mark Levinson 450-watt, 18-speaker sound system, expected luxuries include power tilt and telescoping steering wheel and tilt and slide sunroof, headlamp washers, power rear window sunshade and front and rear parking sensors. For a full complement of inclusions, visit www.lexus.com.

Warranty coverage is eight years or 100,000 miles on hybrid componentry and five years or 70,000 miles on the gasoline powertrain. The basic warranty is four years or 60,000 miles with 24-hour roadside assistance.

First and second scheduled maintenance services are free.

If in an emergency breakdown, overnight lodging also is free but there are limitations. Ask a dealer for details.

New beginnings will lead to greater satisfaction. Explore possibilities and locations that could improve your lifestyle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t get caught up in a colleague or family member’s melodrama.

Distance yourself from negativity and embrace people who are trying to do something that will benefit your community or a cause you believe in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Protect your rights and back away from people who are demanding too much or trying to control your life. Stick to those who share your concerns and you will be much more effective.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If you need to lift your spirits, you should take a day trip or make pleasant alterations to your home. Sharing your thoughts with a loved one will lead to travel or educational plans.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Set out on an adventure and share your knowledge and experience with those you encounter along the way. The people you touch emotionally and intellectually will offer just as much in return.

Bobby Sommer plays a guard in “Museum Hours.”

‘Museum Hours’ a fully realized work of art

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post The filmmaker Jem Cohen has always made a study of vagrant, accidental beauty – from his urban essay films to the feature “Chain,” set in the midst of America’s vast corporate wasteland.

With “Museum Hours,” Cohen has brought all of his philosophical aesthetic preoccupations to bear on a work that, while hewing to his career-long concerns, also represents a significant leap forward. More conventionally narrative than his previous films – but still boldly bucking convention when it comes to story, character and structure – “Museum Hours” is every bit as masterfully conceived and executed as the art works that serve as the film’s lively cast of supporting characters.

The Canadian musician Mary Margaret O’Hara plays Anne, who is called to Vienna unexpectedly when a distant cousin falls ill. When Anne slips into the grand Kunsthistorisches Museum, she strikes up a conversation with a guard named Johann (Bobby Sommer), and the two embark on a tentative

friendship that eventually takes them beyond the bounds of the art museum’s hushed galleries and into a city filled with pain, beauty, humor and fleeting moments of transcendence.

Cohen had nearly unfettered access to the Kunsthistorisches, where he films the museum’s collection of Brueghels with an eye toward their uncanny contemporary resonance – echoes made more palpable when he pulls the lens back to take in present-day museum visitors, whose own faces and bodies take on the sculptural grace and expressiveness of the pieces they’re contemplating.

Like Brueghel, Cohen is drawn to the margins, resisting the hierarchy of foreground-vs.-background.

O’Hara and Sommer possess a winsome, gently teasing chemistry that, through their wonderfully improvisatory performances, takes the shape of a relationship spontaneously growing before our very eyes.

Cohen is too much of an iconoclast to force Anne and Johann into the traditional meet-cute, happy-ending romance, but part of the mystery of “Museum Hours” is wondering – and

coming to care deeply about – what form their delicate alliance might take.

Like any collection of works of art, “Museum Hours” can be enjoyed on a multitude of levels: as a chance to see the Kunsthistorisches’ riches; as yet another travelogue of Vienna (joining a film tradition that spans “The Third Man” and “Before Sunrise”); as an unorthodox love story; as a slice of rootless, cosmopolitan life; as an experiment in rigorously uncoercive cinema.

Whether viewers take one or all of these perspectives, they’ll come away from “Museum Hours” with a refreshed sense of their own world, bursting with questions about what we choose to elevate as art and how we might identify the poetic contours of our own lives.

By radically shifting the frame, Cohen allows everyone – including his audience – to put themselves in the picture.

• “Museum Hours” has a four-star rating. The unrated film contains nudity and some smoking. The film runs 106 minutes.

Worker dreams of trading cubicle for classroom Dear Abby: I am 39 and have been at my job for 15 years. I don’t enjoy it and haven’t since day one. The work is stressful and doesn’t bring me one single ounce of gratification.

I have always wanted to be an elementary school teacher, but now I’m afraid that ship has sailed. I’m currently back in college for business (my job helps to pay my tuition) and feel like I’m not being fair to myself.

I don’t like finance, and I was never good at math. I get paid well and am well-invested in my retirement plan, but I’m miserable every minute I must sit in my little cubicle. I consider it my jail cell.

I need advice on where to take my career because I’m not getting any younger. Or is it too late? – Over The Hill In New Jersey Dear O.T.H.: You are not incarcerated, and you are only as trapped as you choose to make yourself. Most colleges have career counseling services, and you should avail yourself of

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips them.

If teaching children is your heart’s desire, you will have to take the time to prepare for it, know ahead of time what opportunities are available and what the compensation is. Make it your business to find out before making any drastic changes.

You’ll be glad you did.

Dear Abby: I fervently want to help my daughter and her father (my ex) fix their relationship. They are both a lot alike – bullheaded and stubborn. They can’t see how much they hurt each other.

My daughter feels he has chosen his “new” family (wife and stepchildren) over her because she isn’t invited to family game nights, dinners out, etc.

He feels she doesn’t appreciate what he does for her.

She’s expecting a baby (our

first grandchild) in December, and I think they should try to mend fences before the birth occurs. We lost our son (her brother) three years ago, and I know this figures into the family dynamic as well. I just don’t want to see them hurt each other anymore. Can you help me fix this? – Anxious In Colorado Dear Anxious: I wish you had clarified what your ex “does” do for his daughter, because from your description it appears he has done the minimum and little else. Having been excluded from “family game nights and dinners out,” it’s natural that she would feel her father made a new family and left her in the dust.

While I admire your impulse to be the peacemaker, I don’t think you can fix this. Family counseling might be able to mend the rift, but only if all parties are willing.

Most people exposed to HPV never develop symptoms Dear Doctor K: A famous actor recently said he got throat cancer from oral sex. Could this be true?

Dear Reader: I assume you’re referring to actor Michael Douglas, who recently divulged that his throat cancer could have been brought on by oral sex. He’s right. Oral sex is a common way to become infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV), and HPV is a leading cause of mouth and throat cancers.

There are about 200 different strains of HPV. Some strains cause warts; other strains cause cancer of the cervix, anus, penis and throat (including the base of the tongue and tonsils). Sexual contact, including oral sex and deep kissing, can transmit HPV from one person to another. Many men who have sex with other men are infected with HPV. Fortunately, most people sexually exposed to HPV never develop symptoms or health problems.

That’s true even of the strains of HPV known to cause cancer.

Most HPV infections go away by themselves. But in some people, the infection can persist and cause long-term problems, including cancer.

There are ways to prevent HPV-related oral cancer, depending on your age. Pre-teens, teens

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and young adults of both sexes can get vaccinated against HPV. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that both young women and young men be vaccinated with the HPV vaccine.

The two available HPV vaccines provide excellent protection against sexually transmitted HPV. Avoiding oral sex will also protect against oral cancer, although not all cases of oral cancer are caused by this virus.

These two vaccines were approved in 2006 and 2009. They have been available just a few years, and only about a third of the kids and young adults for whom the vaccines are recommended have received the vaccine. Nevertheless, a recent study by the CDC found that the number of young people infected with HPV has dropped considerably. Prior studies have shown that the vaccines given to girls and young women also reduce the risk of cancer of the cervix later in life.

Vaccination won’t help people beyond their mid-20s or the millions of people already infected

with HPV. Using condoms can prevent the spread of the virus during penile-vaginal, penile-anal or penile-oral sex. Using a dental dam (a thin piece of latex) can help prevent the spread of the virus during oral-vaginal sex.

If you’ve been infected with the virus, diagnosing an HPV-related oral cancer as early as possible greatly improves the chance of cure. See your doctor if you have any of these symptoms for more than two to three weeks: • A sore in your mouth or on your tongue that doesn’t heal.

• Persistent pain with swallowing or sore throat.

• A lump in your neck that persists.

The discovery that HPV was the major cause of cancer of the cervix led to diagnostic tests for the virus, as well as to the HPV vaccines. These discoveries and inventions have been honored with the Nobel Prize and have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. It was government-supported research that made the discoveries possible.

Boyfriend who refuses to use condoms lacks respect Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and plan to get sexually intimate with my 17-year-old boyfriend.

I’m not unhappy to lose my virginity, but I have a great fear of becoming pregnant. I even hate to think about it. Kyle said I must get on the pill because he refuses to use a condom.

I know I need a doctor’s prescription to get birth control pills and I have arranged to have that done. I know that the pill stops a female’s ovulation and this prevents pregnancy, but I’m getting mixed signals on the percentage of effectiveness of the pill.

Please enlighten me. – Jenny, Miami, Fla. Dear Jenny: If your boyfriend refuses to use a condom, he pretty much is signaling that he has no respect for you. You’re just a sex object to him – and all the worries about the consequences of premarital sex belong to you. For that reason, I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision to become sexually intimate with him.

To answer your question, medical experts consider oral contraceptives (“the pill”) to be 98 percent effective. The 2 percent failure rate is a significant number. The pill combined with the use of a condom ups the “safe” percentage to 99 percent.

Dr. Wallace: I’ll admit that I use marijuana to relax and unwind, but I don’t drink alcohol of any kind. My fiance doesn’t do drugs, but he unwinds by drinking a few cold ones (beer).

I guess you could say that we are fortunate because mixing drugs and alcohol can lead to major problems. In our discussion, we were debating whether there were more users of drugs or alcohol in our society. He thought there

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace were more drug users, and I disagreed. Both of us are employed, so we can afford to support our habits. – Nameless, N. Aurora Dear Nameless: You and your fiance would be more fortunate if you put your hard-earned money to better use – you’d be amazed at the amount of money that’s wasted every year on addictive habits. According to a National Household Survey on Drug abuse, an estimated 13 million Americans abuse illegal drugs, and 20 million abuse alcohol. Of course, many of them – maybe most – abuse both.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 13 and love my parents very much. My heart nearly broke in half two years ago when they were divorced. My dad got married a month later, and my mom remarried six months after that.

This was a very sad time for me. I would lie in bed at night thinking how wonderful it would be if my parents could get back together.

Well, guess what?

Both of my parents are filing for a divorce because they discovered that they really do love each other and they are together again in our house. They plan to remarry in December, and I’m going to be my mother’s bridesmaid.

Miracles do happen if you have faith. – Penny, San Francisco, Calif.

Dear Penny: Thanks for sharing your story. I wish you and your newly reconciled parents all the success in the world in making things work this time around!

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Friday, August 16, 2013

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Casey Stengel, elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, said, “Without losers, where would the winners be?”

In bridge, of course: A winner for one pair is a loser for the opponents. And when you are the declarer, you are advised to count your losers before playing from the board at trick one. After doing that, if you can also count your winners in a reasonable length of time – say, five minutes! – you should do so.

I estimate that on about 20 percent of deals, counting winners will make the best line of play apparent.

In this example, West leads the spade jack against four hearts. How should South play?

South has four potential losers: one in each suit. And if that is as far as declarer went, he would probably win the first trick in his hand, cash the club ace and play a club to dummy’s queen. When it lost to East’s king and a spade came back, South would win on the board and try the diamond finesse (a better bet than the heart finesse, which would need East to have exactly king-doubleton). But when that finesse lost also, declarer would go down one and complain about bad luck.

Now count winners. South has 10: two spades, five hearts, two diamonds and one club. All he needs to do is win with his spade king, cash the diamond ace, and play the diamond queen. West wins and leads another spade, but declarer takes that on the board and discards his remaining spade on the diamond jack. Then he plays on trumps, home and dry.

Count losers and winners; at least one will help.
