New surface installed at South Mill Creek Park

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A rubber safety surface recently installed at the playground at South Mill Creek Community Park has made the playground accessible to those with a mobility challenge.

Representatives from the Batavia Park District, Marklund and the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association held a media preview Tuesday at the playground.

The Batavia Park District operates the park, which is near Marklund, a nonprofit agency serving adults and children with severe developmental disabilities.

Dawn Lassiter-Brueske, director of marketing for Marklund, noted the majority of Marklund clients use wheelchairs or walkers. She said the new surface will allow them to use the playground.

“It fits in with our vision of making everyday life possible for individuals with profound disabilities,” she said.

According to Batavia Park District officials, the $113,000 surface is able to withstand heavy use and weather conditions better than the typical playground surface. Jim Eby, capital projects manager for the Batavia Park District, said the district first intended to install the rubber safety surface when the South Mill Creek Community Park opened in 2007.

“Funding didn’t allow us to do it until this year,” Eby said.

The Batavia Park District built up reserves in its special recreation funds to pay for the project. Eby said the rubber safety surface is designed to reduce the chance of injury to a child.

Carolyn Nagle, executive director for the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association, said the association plans to use the playground more now that the rubber safety surface has been installed. The as-

sociation serves several area park districts, including the Batavia Park District.

“Now it opens it up to everybody,” Nagle said. “It’s nice to have universal access.”

The playground has been a hit with the surrounding neighborhood. Kids from Bright Beginnings preschool, located in Faith Baptist Mill

Creek church, were at the playground Tuesday.

Kim Jacobsen, director of Bright Beginnings, was happy to see the new rubber surface.

“The kids don’t end up with sand or wood chips in their shoes,” she said. “It makes for a great surface for them to run and play on equipment.”

GETTING A GOOD READ It is important that you clearly communicate your vision needs to the optical specialist when being fitted for bifocals. The reading prescription on the bottom segment of the lens should provide a correction for the distance at which you read printed material. Reading distances vary; while some may hold a book or tablet 18 inches from their eyes, others simply place their reading material and devices on the table and read at a greater distance. With this in mind, reading glasses may not necessarily be helpful for reading the script on a computer monitor, which may be 24 inches away from your eyes. Thus, careful consideration must be given to matching the prescription with the task at hand.

P.S. Progressive lenses provide clear vision at three distances and usually offer all the vision correction that a person will need in one pair of eyeglasses.

Family seeking donations for Prairie State project service dog training to help son topic of Batavia event

By BRENDA SCHORY

By ERIC SCHELKOPF

bschory@shawmedia.com

eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

GENEVA – When other children see Giovanni Rivera at a park, they tend to run away from him, his mother Myrna Resendez said.

The 4-year-old Geneva boy – called Gio – has autism and sometimes “his behaviors and little quirks come off the wrong way, and kids stay away from him,” Resendez said.

“Going to the store is a hassle,” Resendez said. “He’s having meltdowns because he’s over-stimulated. He got out of the house twice – he has no awareness of danger.”

To help their son, the family looked into getting a service dog, she said. Service dogs are trained to calm, distract and redirect autistic behaviors.

Gio will be harnessed to the dog when he is out in public, and the dog will be trained for search and rescue should Gio run off or leave the house, she said.

The presence of the dog also will help her son with social situations where he may become anxious and stressed, Resendez said.

The family raised $1,300 for their portion of the cost of a service dog for Gio from 4 Paws for Ability, Resendez said. However, the family now must travel to Xenia, Ohio,

BATAVIA – The city’s investment in the downstate Prairie State Energy campus will be the topic of discussion in a presentation at 7 p.m. Oct. 13 at the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave., Batavia.

Batavia resident Betsy Zinser will speak at the presentation, which is being sponsored by the Sierra Club. Earlier this year, Zinser spoke at a similar meeting. Zinser said she supported a recent recommendation by aldermen that the city should ask Attorney General Lisa Madigan to investigate Prairie State Energy Campus.

“I feel an investigation needs to happen,” Zinser said.

The action follows on the heels of Batavia businessman Joe Marconi recently filing a class-action lawsuit in Kane County Circuit Court over the city’s investment in the downstate campus.

In 2005, the Northern Illinois Municipal Power Agency, of which Batavia is a member, agreed to a long-term power contract to buy electricity from Prairie State. Geneva and Rochelle are other members.

Giovanni Rivera – also called Gio – is a 4-year-old Geneva boy with autism. His family has a service dog for him, but family members cannot afford to go to Ohio for two weeks of training, and they are requesting the community’s support. for two weeks of training and certification, the last step in a two-year process, she said.

The cost for the family of five – including both parents, Gio and two older siblings – to travel and stay at a hotel in Xenia is $6,500 – something they cannot afford, Resendez said. The amount includes needed repairs on the family’s car so they can make the trip, she said.

About $1,500 has been raised, but $5,000 more is needed by Oct. 20 to cover their costs, she said.

Variety the Children’s Charity of Illinois features Gio among its fundraising efforts, but its limit is $3,000, Resendez said. Go Fund Me also lists $3,000. Another online fundraising effort, YouCaring.com, lists the higher amount needed.

“I feel an investigation needs to happen.”

agreement with NIMPA, Batavia is obligated to buy 45.8 percent, or about 55 megawatts, of the power generated

by Prairie State. Geneva is obligated to buy 29.2 percent (35 megawatts), and Rochelle is obligated to buy 25 percent (30 megawatts).

Earlier this year, state Rep. Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia, asked Madigan to investigate Prairie State Energy Campus. Schmitz had said the letter reflected his concern regarding cost overruns on the $5 billion project and the impact on participating communities that might have to pass the cost along to ratepayers.

Zinser noted the group Batavians for Clean Energy and Conservation had raised financial concerns about the project in 2007 as it was moving forward. Zinser was a member of the group at the time.

The Sierra Club has voiced objections to coalfired power plants because of environmental concerns.

COVER STORY

THE CORONER’S DUTY Russell explains process of determining when an autopsy is necessary

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – When Kane County Coroner Rob Russell is called to a death scene, the question is: What is the cause?

Most are obvious, such as a heart attack, accident, gunshot or drug overdose, Russell said.

“For the most part, we are able to determine [the cause of death] with the tests that we are able to do,” Russell said.

“We’ve got the medical records – and of course an autopsy when that is necessary – and police reports.”

Currently, while Kane County’s morgue is being renovated, autopsies are being performed at the morgue in DuPage County.

Not every death requires an autopsy, which is performed by a medical doctor who is a pathologist. Russell said he will determine when an autopsy is necessary, adding “I am the ultimate decision-maker on that.”

To determine if a death requires an autopsy, Russell said he will consult with the deputy coroner who originally took the case and the chief deputy coroner.

State law gives the coroner the authority to have autopsies done in cases where a death is sudden, violent, mysterious or suspicious or otherwise cannot not be explained in a doctor’s or coroner’s opinion, Russell said.

“It’s a decision not made with a dart board,” Russell said. “It’s at least the three of us, and we will consult with the family. It’s not a determining factor, but we want to know what they think about that. ...

On the Web Visit KCChronicle.com to view a video associated with this story.

If we do not think it’s necessary, and if the family does not want it, we may not do it.”

One example of a decision not to do an autopsy was the death of 15-year-old Caitlyn Phillips of Elburn in September 2013. She had run into a car while inline skating, he said.

“After looking at all the facts in the case, we made a determination that it was pretty obvious she died of blunt force trauma,” Russell said. “The family was adamant about not wanting one [an autopsy], and we had no reason to believe there was foul play, so there [was] no reason to do it.”

However, an autopsy was done in the death of Geneva’s electric superintendent Michael Buffington, 64, who died in a car crash June 12 in Sugar

Grove. The autopsy and toxicology results confirmed he died because of or as a consequence of the accident, records show. Coroners also can use an inquest – a formal, public hearing with sworn witnesses and a jury – to determine a cause and manner of death. Manner of death is determined to be natural, accident, suicide, homicide or undetermined. Russell said he can have an inquest, but it has not been necessary during his tenure because he uses other means to determine how a person died. Russell was elected in November 2012.

He said there are other cases in which the family wants an autopsy and there is no reason to do it. For those, his office refers them where they can have a private autopsy done.

A professional association of coroners lobbied to change the law not to require inquests, he said.

“It’s freed us up to make the decisions that are much more obvious so as not to waste the

time to get the cause and manner of death,” Russell said.

“The coroners association is pretty adamant that it is a good thing because they are able to go through the cases much quicker. ... There has not been any cases where I’ve felt that it was necessary.”

Russell said a coroner’s job also is to be concerned with the living. Russell started sending out surveys in self-addressed stamped envelopes to families to get a measure of how his office was doing its job.

“I really wanted to institute something that would allow the people to say, ‘Thank you,’ and answer ‘How did we do?’ ” he said. “ ‘Did we treat your family right? Did you feel like you were serviced properly.’ ” A stack of handwritten notes document families’ responses to a death and the involvement of the coroner’s office.

“At this most difficult time, I have never felt more at ease

by how your staff acted,” wrote one man. “I didn’t want to leave my wife’s side and they allowed me all the time I needed. You have an incredibly compassionate staff that does a job – I’m sure few could do as well as they did.”

Russell said he is gratified that most comments are positive.

“The evils and ill things that happen are going to happen whether I’m here or not,” Russell said. “Just knowing that we can come to the scene, come to this bad situation, come to this bad day that these people are having, and we can actually be ... a little bit of an agent of change, to at least let them know they don’t have to worry about that their loved one is going to be taken care of.

“Hopefully, now the people know their property is safe that the entire office is going to do everything we can do to service them the way they deserve to be serviced – and that is to determine the cause of death.”

Who am I? When I was a preschooler and writing my first bestseller at the “writer’s workshop” table, I never dreamed that I’d one day discover a true passion for the art of writing. I certainly never imagined that my love for putting words on a page would eventually lead me to become the Kane County Chronicle’s next high school columnist. But I am so grateful to have this opportunity, and I’m excited to see where this path leads me.

My name is Emma Chrusciel, and for all of you wondering how on Earth to say my last name, it’s pronounced “crucial.” I’m a freshman at Geneva High School and today, Oct. 2, is actually my 15th birthday.

When asked what my hobbies and interests are, writing is always the first thing that comes to mind. Ever since I can remember, I’ve considered myself a writer, from the days I was too young to actually write and my parents would transcribe the stories I told to paper. I still have these “books,” and though they lacked a decent plot structure or well-developed characters, they will always be an important step in my journey as a writer. Although fiction is definitely my favorite thing to write, I’m enthusiastic about exploring a new kind of writing with this column.

Music is something I love just as much as writing. I’m always singing or pounding out a piece on the piano; just ask my family and friends! Lately, I’ve also enjoyed composition and making my own arrangements of popular songs. Oftentimes my writing experience even aids me in songwriting when it comes to lyrics.

Another passion of mine?

Theater. I’m obsessed with Broadway musicals, including “Wicked,” “Newsies,” “The Phantom of the Opera” and “Les Misérables.” I was overjoyed to see “Wicked” when it came to Chicago on tour last year, and am looking forward

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel to the national tour of “Newsies” this winter.

However, being onstage is just as fulfilling for me as being in the audience. This past March, I got to play the female lead of Laurey in my school’s production of “Oklahoma,” which is my favorite role I’ve ever played to date. I’ve also enjoyed other roles in “The Music Man,” “Twinderella,” “Gift of the Magi,” and currently, “Seussical.” Stepping into the spotlight is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever experienced, and every performance I do leaves me craving another.

Though writing, music and performing are all wonderful things that I’m lucky to have, I also enjoy the simpler things in life. Spending time with my family and friends is one of the most precious things in the world to me. I love lazy Saturday afternoons where I can curl up under a blanket with a mug of hot chocolate and a favorite book. I’m very involved at my church, and the moments where I’m with other people who share my faith are valuable beyond measure.

Even a seemingly trivial thing such as laughing my head off at something one of my three younger sisters said is special and unique. I find it important to cherish the little things amidst the hustle and bustle of life.

I’m looking forward to writing my upcoming columns, and I hope that after getting to know me, the Chronicle’s readers will look forward to reading them.

ANOTHER VIEW

Aftermath of White House incident THE WASHINGTON POST A House committee hosted a hearing Tuesday on security breaches at the White House. It had been called after the Sept. 19 incident in which a troubled war veteran jumped the White House fence, ran across the lawn and entered through an unlocked door on the North Portico before being stopped by the Secret Service. Now it turns out, there’s plenty more to discuss.

A report over the weekend by The Post’s Carol D. Leonnig detailed a string of lapses by the Secret Service in identifying and properly investigating a November 2011 attack on the White House. The seven shots were first judged to be harmless backfire from a construction

vehicle and then assumed (incorrectly) to come from rival gangs. It became clear that the White House was the target and had been hit only when a housekeeper noticed the damage four days later.

The incident is said to have angered President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, who were not at the White House at the time but whose younger daughter and Ms. Obama’s mother were.

Neither the difficulty nor the danger of the job entrusted to the Secret Service can be minimized. But what does it say about the competence of the agency that a fence-jumper could get inside the White House and, as The Post reported Monday, far into the building before being tackled? What does it say about the culture of the agen-

cy that officers who realized gunfire had hit the White House were largely ignored and, it seems, afraid to speak up for fear of angering their bosses?

In the aftermath of the fence-jumping incident, 3-foot-high barricades, posted with “Police Line Do Not Cross” signs, have been erected to keep people away from the fence. The Secret Service has floated the idea of shutting Pennsylvania Avenue to pedestrian traffic or setting up military-style checkpoints. No checkpoints can compensate if the agency doesn’t properly do its job.

Conversely, a professional Secret Service should not have to maroon the White House on a defended, deserted island inside the nation’s capital.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Riverside Pizza & Pub making name for itself Restaurant opened in July in downtown St. Charles

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Riverside Pizza & Pub owner/president Steve Nilles never knows who is going to walk into his restaurant next.

Country singer-songwriter Vince Gill recently paid a visit to the restaurant. Gill performed in September at the Arcada Theatre, which is located across Main Street from Riverside Pub. “He was very friendly,” Nilles said. “I got a picture with him.”

Riverside Pizza & Pub is trying to make a name for itself after opening in late July in the former Pi Pizza Perfection space at 102 E. Main St. in downtown St. Charles.

However, it seems the historic building in which the restaurant is located, already has an infamous past.

According to St. Charles Heritage Center records, the building housed the first medical school in Illinois – the Franklin Medical School – founded in 1842 in St. Charles.

Dr. George Richards was director of the school, which was the cause of a 1849 riot in St. Charles, known as the “Richards Riot,” historical records state.

According to the records, late one evening in April 1849, two medical students from the school, John Rood and George Richards Jr. (son of the director), stole a cadaver from a Sycamore graveyard. An angry mob of more than 100 Sycamore residents went to the home of Dr. Richards, demanding the return of the body, which caused a riot, and resulted in the death of Rood and Dr. Richards, records state.

Some of the pub’s drink specials, such as The Witch Doctor, Doctor Richard RX Remedy and The Grave Digger, reflect the building’s history.

Nilles is not new to the restaurant industry. He has been in the restaurant business for more than 20 years, having started as a delivery driver.

Riverside Pizza & Pub is the fourth restaurant that he has owned. Nilles has two partners in the business. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.

“We were looking for a bigger sit-down restaurant with a bar,” Nilles said. “We liked the location.”

They did six months worth of renovations, including building a bar on the building’s first floor.

Bars are now on both floors of the building.

Riverside Pizza & Pub has seating for 60 people on its first floor and 100 people on its second floor. The second floor also offers an expansive view of the city’s downtown.

“I really think we have the best view in town, of any restaurant at least,” Nilles said.

Living up to its name, Riverside Pizza & Pub sells several specialty pizzas, including western – topped with sausage, onion, bacon and barbecue sauce; barbecue chicken – chicken, red onion and barbecue sauce; and Italian beef grinder – Italian beef, giardiniera and red onion.

He knows what works, as the pizza recipes are from the first

Other items on Riverside Pizza & Pub’s menu include wings, burgers, sandwiches and pasta.

“Our burgers are never frozen and are 100 percent Angus beef,” he said. “They have great flavor.”

Desserts are also on the menu. The restaurant’s cheese cakes and carrot cakes are made by Cookie Dough Creations in Naperville, Nilles said.

Nilles said the restaurant’s mission is simple.

“We want to provide a comfortable atmosphere, and good food at good prices,” he said.

More information about Riverside Pizza & Pub is available at the restaurant’s website, www. riversidepizzapub.com, or on its Facebook page, www.facebook. com/riversidepizzaandpub.

Difference in soil, elevation produces two distinct wines UNCORKED James Nokes Pierre Seillan wanted to highlight the unique soils of Mount St. Helena in Knights Valley.

Thus, two vials of soil were packaged with Anakota Cabernet Sauvignon. A reddish brown vial with tiny pebbles and silty soil from the Helena Dakota Vineyard at 750 feet and a vial filled yellow-white sandy gravel from the 950-foot Helena Montana Vineyard.

The difference in soil, elevation and aspect ratio to the sun has produced two dramatically complex wines. Both stunningly different despite coming from neighboring vineyards in Sonoma County.

Winemaker spotlight Pierre Seillan had established a distinguished reputation as a vigneron in France.

Yet, when he came to California, it was for a challenge. Despite the rugged mountain ranges, he saw an untapped potential in Knights Valley and the chance to craft a top cabernet sauvignon in what is his only single vineyard, variety and appellation wine.

“I have learned a lot from my experiences in France,” Seillan said.

“Starting with my family’s farm in the Gers, then working with cabernet franc in the Loire, and working in the different appellations of Bordeaux.

“I learned a lot about different climates and different soils, so when I came to California, I understood very quickly the diversity of terroirs that were available. Especially in Sonoma.

And from my experiences in France, I was able to understand the complexities and develop my micro-cru philosophy, in order to match each soil type and terroir with the right kind of grapes.”

The distinct characteristics of mountain fruit is amazingly apparent in Anakota. Both wines have a great minerality that frames their fruit flavors. The aspect ratio to the sun has made the skins hearty and the tannins bold, yet elegant.

Each wine can be enjoyed immediately, but after enjoying them side-byside one night, my desire to revisit the Helena Montana bottling after several years of cellaring grew. Two more bottles rest in my cellar, to be opened for a special occasion, at a later date.

“The two micro terroirs, are not far from each other but they have a natural border with a small creek coming down from Mount St. Helena,” Seillan said. “It is important to consider and respect the messages given by these

two micro-crus, Dakota has an elevation of 700 feet on a rocky clay and iron soils.

“Montana is 950 elevation on a very poor soil with a lot of white volcanic ash. The distance between these two vineyards is about 200 yards and the Montana vineyard is always warmer.

I usually pick this cru about five to six days before Dakota. I am very happy that I can create these two beautiful wines, which capture the message of these two special places.”

Wine 101 During one weekend last March, Sonoma County received 10 inches of rain.

“The rain came at the right time,” said winemaker Greg Stach. California was entering its third straight year of drought, which has led to harvest being two to three weeks ahead of schedule.

What to buy Anakota, Knights Valley, Helena Montana Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 ($75): Mint, eucalyptus and green pepper notes on the nose. There’s hidden fruit flavors that need time to develop. There’s a dusty, chalky note that adds to the mysterious complexity of the wine. A brilliant wine that will get better with age. It is grown at an elevation of 950 feet in yellow-white, sandy, gravely loam soils.

Anakota, Knights Valley, Helena Dakota Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 ($75): Cassis and currant flavors on a fruitier more floral wine. There’s a snappy, violet perfume on the nose. Lighter in mouth feel. It is grown at an elevation of 750 feet in reddish-brown, silt loam soils.

Landmark Vineyards, Overlook Chardonnay, 2012 ($23.99): A beautiful mix of cool-climate chardonnay from 22 vineyards that stretch from Sonoma in the north to Santa Barbara in the south. There are lemon grass, grapefruit and cantaloupe flavors held together by a nutty nuance imparted by the fermentation in 100 percent French oak barrels with all native yeasts.

“This is a wine that’s really all about blending,” said winemaker Greg Stach, who enjoys the wine best with lobster and Dungeness crab. “The French barrels are only 25 percent new because we want to show the fruit. It’s all about elegance and balance. It’s not too oaky or buttery. Its acid profile is nice which lifts the minerality and gives a nice, crisp structure.”

Magnificent Wine Company, Columbia Valley Syrah, 2008 ($19.99): A beautiful, silky mouth feel for a syrah. Olive tapenade, leather, iron and plums hang on for a long finish.

Papillon, Napa Valley, 2010 ($79.99): Dense purple in the glass, this is a bold, masculine wine. Currant, cassis and cedar are omnipresent immediately. Black cherry and cocoa powder on a long finish.

This wine is 60 percent cabernet sauvignon, 37 percent merlot with a touch of petite verdot and malbec.

UPSTATE EIGHT CONFERENCE RIVER TOURNAMENT

East comfortably takes meet Saints shoot score of 318; Geneva 2nd

Results UEC River Boys Golf Meet at St. Andrews Golf Course 1. St. Charles East 318 2. Geneva 332 3. Batavia 335 4. St. Charles North 336 5. Larkin 350 6. West Chicago 358 7. Streamwood 370 8. Elgin 429

By DEREK WOLFF editorial@kcchronicle.com WEST CHICAGO – The St. Charles East boys golf team won the Upstate Eight Conference River tournament on Wednesday afternoon in dominating fashion.

The Saints shot a team score of 318 at St. Andrews Golf Course, 14 strokes better than second-place Geneva to capture the tournament.

East did it behind five individual finishes in the top10, including Ronnie Griggs’ second-place 78, Colin Johnson’s third-place 79 and Kyle McWeeney’s 80, which tied for fourth.

Senior Jon Lenz from Larkin captured the individual title with a 4-over 75 and was the only player in the tournament to shoot in the 30s on both the front and back nine.

For East, it was a total team effort, with Daniel Haugen adding an 81 and Gary King shooting an 82.

Coach John Stock has hosted four regionals and three sectionals at St. Andrews, giving his team a major advantage.

“It was a perfect example of the team stepping forth and supporting each other,” Stock said. “It’s just one more step.

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Ronnie Griggs of St. Charles East hits out of the sand and onto the green Wednesday during the Upstate Eight Conference tournament at St. Andrews Golf Course in West Chicago.

You just want to play well and get ready. I told them yesterday when we were out here, St. Andrews always plays a lot tougher in conference. There’s not going to be any 71s or 72s – 315-320 is a great score here and we’re just trying to get better again.”

With regionals right around the corner and the Lake Park Invitational on Saturday to contemplate, the Saints are peaking at the right time.

With lofty goals in mind, Griggs said the team can replicate and build on the success of the tournament.

“We want to keep the success going for regionals, sectionals and hopefully it carries us to state, that’s our goal,” Griggs said. “For the people that did well make sure their confidence is up and they’re able to duplicate what they did again and try to get the people that struggled today back to where we want them in order to be successful.”

Jake Meiss had the highest score on the day for the Saints with an 87.

Geneva finished second behind a 332 team score, narrowly edging out third-place

Batavia’s 335 and fourth-place St. Charles North’s 336.

Geneva’s Andrew Abel tied for fourth overall with McWeeney at 80 after shooting a 41 on the back nine, while Batavia’s Andrew Nelson shot an 82 to also make the top-10.

St. Charles North’s Trevor Kurtzhals was tied for second with Griggs and Johnson after a shooting a 37 on the front nine but struggled with a backhalf 46.

His 83 was still good enough to crack the top-10, along with teammate Jarron Gandy’s 82. While the River Division

lacked the drama of the playoff that would determine the individual winner of the Valley Division, Lenz’s victory was no less impressive.

The dual-sport star led the field at the halfway mark after posting a front nine 36 and raised his game down the stretch to overcome some early mistakes on the back nine, notching birdies on three of the final five holes.

Lenz was humble in victory and gave credit to the tough field while remaining confident in his game with regionals starting on Tuesday.

“I was getting off the tee pretty well and then I started to make some putts at the end and was able to make some birdies,” Lenz said. “It means a lot to me. I know we have a tough conference; there’s a lot of good players out here so to be number one makes me feel good about my game and where it’s at right now.

“I was struggling and was able to get it back so that helps my mindset for regionals. I know if I am struggling I can come and get it back.”

Geneva grad making up for lost innings Ryan Millan wanted to be a college pitcher.

That’s a hard goal to accomplish when you don’t pitch much during your senior year of high school.

Millan had a solid junior year with the Geneva baseball program, but an influx of exceptional pitching talent squeezed him out of the rotation. That made his dream of pitching collegiately a tougher one to accomplish.

“My senior year (in 2012), I wasn’t able to show that much. I got limited to five or six innings that entire season. I was basically a guy that was sitting on the bench,” Millan said. “But I didn’t get too worked up over it because I knew I had future plans.”

Millan understood the situation that season. Geneva’s varsity team welcomed in three new pitchers who all ended up playing Division I baseball. Millan doesn’t blame his coach for anything, realizing the unusual

ON CAMPUS Vinnie Duber scenario.

After only those handful of innings as a senior, Millan had to count on a few showcases to show what he could do as a pitcher. He had to rely even more on a strong outing in a regional playoff game as a junior. Thankfully, there was one coach who remembered that game and realized the situation that Millan was in: Elmhurst College coach Joel Southern.

“Outside of the high school team, I went to a few showcases in the Chicagoland area. My parents were always pushing me, and I always wanted to go. So they saw me there, they saw that my velocity was good enough for the college level. And coach Southern at Elmhurst, he was really sympathetic

and was like, ‘You’ve got a good arm, and you’d be pitching on the staffs for a lot of teams in your conference.

But your team is just loaded right now,’ ” Millan recounted.

“And he was one of the few coaches that really took that into perspective and thought that, ‘He doesn’t really have a chance to pitch because these guys are going to pitch because they’re throwing upper 80s, low 90s.’ I was glad that he was one of the only people that kept that in perspective and kept in contact with me.”

Millan was able to impress coaches at Elmhurst and made his first start during spring break in Florida. An unusual Tuesday doubleheader – thanks to Wheaton College’s policy of not playing on Sundays – gave Millan his first conference start, which he won. He seized the opportunity, and things snowballed from there. As a freshman, Millan tied for a team-high

with four wins and struck out a team-high 22 batters. Last year, no one had more than his three wins, and he ranked third on the team with 27 strikeouts.

After not getting the opportunities to pitch in his final year at Geneva, Millan has capitalized on the ones he got at Elmhurst and in semi-pro baseball over the summer.

“I just knew it was time to step up my game, and if I wanted to keep going and play all four years in college that I’d have to do well and grab their attention. And I did,” Millan said. “From there on out, I didn’t take my opportunity for granted and went on from there.”

Ruggles again on the money in Spanish encore

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com More autographs. More pictures. And many more basketballs rippling the nets.

Josh Ruggles further polished his international basketball profile Saturday, winning the Spanish professional league ACB’s 3-point contest against pro competition for the second straight year.

Despite being only six weeks removed from breaking his right, shooting hand, Ruggles handled the shooting – and autograph signing – with little discomfort.

“No, but my face hurt from smiling so much in pictures,” said Ruggles, who transferred from Wheaton Academy to Wheaton Warrenville South this year as a senior.

Ruggles notched 25 of a possible 30 points in the championship round against former Utah State college standout Jaycee Carroll, a repeat rival from the 2013 competition.

Despite again being the underdog teenager among a pool of European professionals, Ruggles said he liked his

chances to repeat in the competition, which he dedicated to a friend whose father died of cancer.

“I had a good feeling,” Ruggles said. “The day of, I knew that the only way I could possibly lose is if I let things get inside my head. I was just confident. I was shooting the ball well in practice rounds. I was just confident.

I wasn’t as nervous, I was fo- Josh cused on some- Ruggles thing, and it just helped me get through it.”

Ruggles has built quite the portfolio of shooting conquests throughout his high school years. In addition to the two Spanish 3-point crowns, he won the Illinois King of the High 3-point championship in 2013 and made 135 3-pointers in a 5-minute YouTube video that caught the attention of the Spanish organizers.

Ruggles said some might have considered him a marketing gimmick last year but with the 2013 title preceding

him, he returned to Spain as a fan favorite. Thousands in the crowd buzzed with each 3-pointer he drilled.

“I don’t pay attention to that at all,” Ruggles said. “ …

That first day they announce every shooter’s name and you walk out and wave to the crowd – it’s kind of awkward but it’s cool, too. But with me just trying to get focused, I didn’t pay attention to anything, but my dad told me afterward it was a pretty big applause and there was some film on it, so it was pretty cool.

I think a lot of people were rooting for me, which was a blessing and gave me confidence, too.”

As was the case last year, Ruggles could not accept prize money because of his amateur status, but he did receive a trophy, an upgrade after unconventionally being presented with a brick for his 2013 title.

Ruggles is nearing resolution on his college recruitment and doesn’t think he’ll be able to attempt a Spanish three-peat because he expects to be in the midst of college

workouts next fall.

A more lasting overseas encore could be a possibility, however, as the combo guard isn’t ruling out a run at professional basketball in Europe or elsewhere.

“That’s definitely a goal of mine,” Ruggles said. “I think it’d be fun. Basketball can be used kind of like a gateway to other opportunities, a bridge to other opportunities. For me, it’s brought me to a ton of places so far and hopefully it’ll continue to do that. That’d be awesome. I’d love to play overseas at some point, but that’s a far way off and I definitely have a lot of improving to do before I can do that.”

Fuzak makes college call: Another former Wheaton Academy player, senior Chandler Fuzak, announced Wednesday he has committed to Division-II West Texas A&M, located in Canyon, Texas.

The 6-foot-10 Fuzak transferred to Geneva this school year, along with his younger brother, junior Bennett Fuzak. Both are expected to be key cogs in a deep Vikings frontcourt this winter.

in the first game,” Malloy said. “We picked up our passing and all around it was a team effort.”

Setter Daniele Messa had 30 assists, as well as a tip kill and two solo blocks.

The Royals have a young squad that only feature four seniors.

They were led in kills by sophomore Erin Burke, who had 10, and sophomore Martha Konovodoff, who had nine digs. “[We have] lots of sophomores and they’re just getting better and better,” Royals coach Rachel Hartmann

said. “They’re still learning, they’re still developing. It’s good for the program.”

The Royals dropped to 1311 and 1-2 in the SCC. Hartmann knows that her squad is a work in progress and has to work through “young points” but knows what this team can become.

The Royals take on Montini next while St. Francis welcomes Assumption High School from Kentucky for a nonconference match.

Both teams wore pink uniforms during the match to raise awareness for breast cancer research.

Kaneland boys golf 3rd at NI Big 12 Meet

Noah says Mirotic is ‘good, really good’

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE SENECA – The Kaneland boys golf team placed third at the Northern Illinois Big 12 Meet on Wednesday at Oak Ridge Golf Course.

The Knights (336) were 14 strokes behind victorious DeKalb and three stokes in back of Sycamore.

Jake Hed shot an 82 for Kaneland, placing ninth individually. Jesse Denton (84) and Jeremy Faletto and Brett Glennon (85 each) also contributed for the Knights.

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com Joakim Noah isn’t easily impressed.

From labeling the Miami Heat “Hollywood as [heck]” a few years back to doing very little in promoting the city of Cleveland as a hot destination spot, Noah’s comments usually are of the back-handed variety.

Not Wednesday, and certainly not when rookie big man Nikola Mirotic was brought up.

“He’s pretty good. ... He’s really good,” Noah said of the 6-foot-10 stretch-forward. “And he adds a different dimension to the game. He’s a lot more than just a shooter. He’s a great shooter, and he’s done a lot

of things that are pretty surprising. You don’t think of a stretch-fours as guys that can block shots, run the floor, and he can … he’s a [heck] of a player.”

Asked about the rumors that Mirotic also has shown an uncanny ability to also put the basketball on the floor, Noah snickered, “Yeah, he’s pretty complete. I think he’s definitely one of our secret weapons.”

So Mirotic has Noah’s vote, but then again Noah doesn’t make the lineup.

Coach Tom Thibodeau doesn’t just hand out playing time, especially to rookies. And rookies who aren’t known for their defense? Let’s just say Mirotic knows he has an uphill

battle to earn significant minutes off the bench by the start of the season.

“I know Chicago the last couple of years have been a good defensive team in the NBA,” Mirotic said. “So I’m going to try to do my best job to work every day hard. I know that I’m not a very, very good defensive player, but I need to learn. I need to work. Every day I learn something new on defense. So I just need time.

They help me every day. So I think I can get better. I’m growing every day.”

That was evident on Day 2 of training camp, as Mirotic was working with the second unit and facing off against the starting five of Derrick Rose,

Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Pau Gasol and Noah in a scrimmage. Coincidentally, the same group he faced off against on Day 1, leaving somewhat of an impression on Thibodeau.

“I thought he had a really good first day,” Thibodeau said. “And then after watching the film, it was even better than I thought.

“He has a great attitude.

He’s going to be a good player.

He has a lot to learn. Take it day by day, concentrate on improvement. But he has a lot of pride and great work ethic. But any young player, that’s what you’re looking for. How much he plays, I don’t know. We’re going to find out some things early.”

Suburban Christian Conference Meet: At Arrowhead Golf Course in Wheaton, Marmion (339) won the SCC Meet, followed by St. Francis (351), Montini (356) and Aurora Christian (359).

Jackson Clark (5-over par 76) paced the Cadets while Aurora Christian notched the second-place scorer (Devin Johnson, 79) and third-place finisher (Brett Seward, 80).

St. Francis was led by Luke Armbrust’s 83.

IN THE GROOVE

Hoffman gets golfing bug Batavia sophomore Chess Hoffman paused for a moment when asked if she prefers her nickname to her given name, Francesca.

She’s much more certain about her affinity for golf, a sport she only took up entering high school thanks to lobbying from her father, John.

“He got me going a little bit as just, like, fun. Play golf, you know. We’d go Francesca out to the course,” Hoff“Chess” man said. “And then now Hoffman I got into the high school golf, and now I like it a lot, so I keep doing it and stuff. And in the offseason I play sometimes.”

Hoffman’s newfound diligence helped her shave about 30 strokes from last season’s conference score at St. Andrews in West Chicago. Although her 98 Monday didn’t factor in to the Bulldogs’ runner-up 343 at the Upstate Eight Conference River Division meet, it helped bolster teammates’ confidence just the same.

Batavia’s core of upperclassmen embraced Hoffman and freshman Madi McCoy – the Bulldogs’ fourth scorer with an 90 Monday – from the time the season started. That only adds satisfaction to

charting their improvement.

“The young girls are doing amazing,” Batavia junior Emily Clark said. “I’m so proud of them. They’re doing so good for being freshmen and sophomores. They’ve got two, three years left to go.”

Hoffman admitted she felt far less pressure this week than during her 2013 conference experience.

Part of that mindset dealt with the course’s straightforward layout. The rest hinged on her ongoing development.

“Just everything overall,” Hoffman said.

“I’ve just been shooting a lot better and practicing more and just getting better.

And I’ve been doing a trainer and stuff, so it’s been helping a lot.”

something to note. We’re close.”

East will aim for one last climb when it faces much of the same field at Wednesday’s Class AA Burlington Central Regional at Sycamore Golf Club. It will have coach Rod Osborne on hand this time. He missed the conference meet after attending a 40th anniversary weekend with his former University of New Mexico golf teammates.

The Saints see sporadic shades of Osborne’s bygone Lobo days during practice.

“He’ll be like, ‘OK, this is what you do,’ ” Stanton said. “And then he’ll hit, like, a perfect shot.”

Five starters return to Bears practice

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – If it’s up to him, the Bears’ starting left guard will be back on Sunday in Carolina – and he’s not the only one who could return to action.

Matt Slauson was back at practice on Wednesday, in a limited basis, along with Rober-

to Garza, Jeremiah Ratliff, Jared Allen and Sherrick McManis. Slauson and Garza haven’t played since high ankle sprains suffered in Week 1, McManis injured his quad in Week 2 and Ratliff sustained a concussion in the same game.

“I don’t know. In my mind, I’m playing, but I can’t play until they say OK, so I’m just waiting on that,” Slauson said.

Last year’s top-rated offensive lineman per Pro Football Focus, Slauson said that he started feeling better late last week and has had “dramatic improvements in strength and mobility and the way I move on the field.

“I’m just waiting for the nod.”

Slauson said he has definitely benefitted from getting the

mental reps, as he is not used to this situation. Slauson had not missed a game since 2009.

“It’s been great. Being able to step back and watch the big picture of things instead of just watching the little box of the left side,” he said. “Now, watching how the line and the backs have to move together, it’s actually taught me a couple things. Watching (Michael) Ola

has been great because it’s been giving me reminders, too, for when I come back.”

Slauson joked that life on the sideline was “less lonely” with Garza, who got a vote of confidence from Bears coach Marc Trestman on Wednesday. Despite the impressive play from Brian de la Puente, Trestman said that Garza will return as the starter when he’s healthy.

Allen confirms he had pneumonia, hopes to return against Panthers

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – After missing his first NFL game since Week 2 of the 2007 season, Jared Allen confirmed on Wednesday that a bout of pneumonia was the cause of his consecutive starts steak ending at 113 games, and his weight plummeting from 254 to 239 pounds.

Allen returned to practice on Wednesday, albeit just the individual portion, for the first time since the Bears’ Week 3 win over the Jets on “Monday Night Football,” a game he played while already under the weather.

He called not being on the field Sunday for the Bears’ 38-17 loss to Green Bay “brutal,” but Allen said he knew after requiring three days on meds for his fever to break and conferring with his doctors and wife that it was the right decision.

“I wouldn’t have been worth anything out there,” admits Al-

Neither was a Bears’ pass rush that never arrived for a near-perfect outing by Aaron Rodgers.

“He’s a tough guy to play against,” Allen said, “because he gets you in a rhythm of

quick release, quick release … and the next thing you know … he’s back there patting the ball, making you look foolish.”

Rhythm is something Allen, who appeared in just one game this preseason, is still searching for. The timing of his ill-

ness is tough because he felt he was just beginning to find his groove after following up a poor debut in a Bears uniform with increasingly better showings in San Francisco and New York, respectively.

Missing so much time might be new to Allen, but rather than worry about it, he’s focused on getting his weight back up – he was at 241 Wednesday morning – and conditioning game ready.

Allen said Wednesday he’s feeling much better and is hopeful to return Sunday vs. the Panthers. Bears coach Marc Trestman indicated he’d have a better idea on Allen’s status at the end of the week.

In his weekly meeting with the media, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker wasn’t interested in making excuses for his unit’s poor performance because it was without several integral parts.

“He’s going to be effective anytime he’s on the field,” Tucker said. “Same thing with

guys like (Jeremiah) Ratliff …

Now that’s not an excuse for not playing well or not being able to produce and get the job done if those guys aren’t out there.”

Instead, Tucker contributed the Bears’ defensive struggles to poor execution and missed assignments, among other shortcomings. He said the defensive line’s inability to win one-on-one matchups was due to not winning on the edges and settling for going down the middle of blocks.

Of course, Allen was brought in because of the consistent production he’s provided working off the edge for more than a decade. With three-quarters of the season to play, he expects that production is coming.

“It’s a long season and I’m looking forward to these next 12 weeks,” he says. “I’m like, what else can happen? I’ve got the injuries out of the way, I’ve got the sickness out of the way, let’s go have fun.”

ADVICE Medications kept under lock and key ensure safety Teen asked about drugs Dear Abby: You missed the chance to communicate a life-ordeath message to your readers when you answered a letter from an “Ohio Grandma.”

Your reply understated the importance of storing medications properly and safely. What if the grandmother had placed a loaded GUN on the desk instead of medications? Both can produce just as deadly a result.

Putting them in a suitcase is not enough. They should be stored out of reach, preferably secured with a safety lock. – Mom Of A Toddler In New Jersey Dear Mom: I was scolded for not placing more emphasis on the safety issue. However, the question I was asked was, “Are we obligated to help with more of the medical expenses (for the ER visit) because we have already

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips helped (contributed several hundred dollars) and I don’t think it’s our job to teach our grandchild boundaries?” So that was the issue on which I focused. Read on: Dear Abby: You dropped the ball. No 3-year-old will respect a closed door all of the time. Grandma and Grandpa are responsible for the safe-keeping of their meds while in the child’s and even the grandparents’ home. Bottles that rattle and pretty colors in a bottle that look like candy will attract any little kid. Grandma and Grandpa should be happy they aren’t helping to pay for a funeral instead of an ER visit. Here are

the “rules”: 1. All medications should be in kid-proof containers.

2. All medications and OTC drugs should be kept out of a curious child’s climbing area.

3. Poison Control numbers should be posted on the fridge.

4. Use the original container (NOT one of those daily dosage containers) and know how many pills are in it. Be sure you know the name, strength and dosage for each medication.

5. NEVER tell the kids that medication is candy!

6. Don’t expect any child – or teen – to respect your private property when it comes to medication. – Mesquite, Texas, Grandma • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Stop-smoking strategies include more than nicotine patches Dear Doctor K: I’ve been trying to quit smoking with nicotine replacement patches, but it hasn’t worked. Any suggestions?

Dear Reader: Smoking may be the toughest unhealthy habit to break, but it is possible. There are more ex-smokers in the United States today than there are smokers.

There are two main obstacles that make cigarettes particularly hard to quit: First is the physical withdrawal from nicotine. Second is the psychological withdrawal from a habit that has become part of your daily routine.

Nicotine replacement is available as patches, gum, sprays, inhalers and lozenges. They can help overcome the physical addiction of nicotine. If that doesn’t work, consider varenicline (Chantix) and bupropion (Zyban). These medications reduce physical cravings and make smoking less enjoyable.

Two new studies support the use of quit-smoking medications plus nicotine replacement for smokers who haven’t been able to quit using nicotine replacement alone.

In one study, researchers compared varenicline plus nicotine replacement with varenicline alone.

The combination worked better.

In the other study, researchers recruited 222 smokers who

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff weren’t able to kick the habit with just nicotine replacement. They assigned them to take varenicline alone or varenicline plus bupropion, while continuing to use a nicotine patch. After 12 weeks, 40 percent of those taking both medications were no longer smoking, compared to 25 percent of those taking only varenicline.

These results don’t suggest that smokers take varenicline and bupropion as a first step in smoking cessation. Though they are effective, both drugs can have dangerous side effects. They can increase the risk of depression, hostility and suicidal thoughts. But when nicotine replacement alone hasn’t helped, adding varenicline with or without bupropion may lead to success.

A non-drug strategy that may help you quit is proper planning.

Once you have decided to quit, take concrete steps. Set a quit date. Sign up for a stop-smoking support group. Develop strategies for getting back on track if you slip.

Also consider cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This type of “talk therapy” will help you

change thoughts and behaviors that may be getting in the way of quitting.

Finally, if you don’t succeed on your first attempt to quit smoking, try again when you are ready. The average person makes several attempts before quitting for good.

And remember that it’s never too late to quit. Many of my patients who are longtime smokers have told me that they don’t see the point of quitting. They think smoking for so many years must have led to irreversible damage, so what’s the point of quitting now?

It is obviously true that the sooner a person quits, the better.

But it also is true that no matter how much you have smoked in the past, stopping now will increase your life expectancy.

That’s true even for smokers over age 65, and those who already have some degree of smoking-related disease, like emphysema.

In fact, if you’ve had a heart attack in the past due, in part, to smoking, stopping now will reduce your risk of another heart attack by 25 to 50 percent.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15, and I’ve never done anything of a serious nature.

But I’m not a perfect angel.

My folks recently attended a community “Drug Awareness” meeting. It was to tell parents what signs to look for to see if a teen is taking drugs. They are very serious about this, and now I feel like a convict in prison instead of a teenager living at home.

My parents are always searching my room and asking me questions like: “Why are your eyes red? Why are you always tired? Why are you getting a C in math? Are you hanging around kids who do drugs?”

I’m always telling them that I’m not into drugs and neither are my friends, but they keep on bugging me.

Sometimes I feel like trying drugs. If my parents think I’m a druggie, I might as well be one. – Randy, Columbus, Ohio Dear Randy: Your parents are going through a phase in their “raising a family” responsibility.

The community drug meeting has caused them to overreact, but in time they will return to normal. Trying drugs, just to spite your mom and dad, would be a very stupid move (as I’m sure you are aware).

If your parents continue their extra strenuous drug watch, you might discuss your problem with your school counselor. Sometimes an outside professional source can get parents back to thinking rationally rather than emotionally.

Dr. Wallace: I really need your help. My best friend at school is 14 and grossly overweight. She must weigh nearly 200 pounds. Her problem is that she eats way too

I’m really afraid that she is going to have a heart attack. Can you tell me how I can help her?

– Nameless, Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Nameless: School nurses are wonderful at handling this type of problem. Discuss the situation with the nurse. If your school doesn’t have one, speak to a counselor, P.E. teacher or the assistant principal.

Your friend and her family need guidance concerning diet, nutrition and good eating patterns.

Dr. Wallace: My older sister is 16, and I’m 14.

We’ve lived with our mom ever since her divorce from our dad three years ago. He is remarried and they have a baby boy. We visit our dad every other weekend, and we like to see him, but we don’t care for his wife. My dad told us the last time we visited that he wants us to live with him, and he will go to court to get custody.

I really don’t want to leave my mother. Can the court really make us live with him? – Sue, Boston, Massachusetts Dear Sue: It’s possible, but not likely, that your father could get custody.

He would have to convince the court that your mother is not physically or mentally capable of continuing to be an effective parent.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Try to show two suits at once

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Groucho Marx said, “A clown is like aspirin, only he works twice as fast.”

There is a bridge bid that is a strong aspirin because a player can show his hand twice as fast.

Look at today’s North hand.

There are three passes around to South, who opens one heart.

After West passes again, what should North respond?

North re-evaluates his hand because of the known heart fit.

If you add short-suit points, the hand is worth 13 support points: 10 high-card points and three shortage points for the singleton.

If you count losers, his hand has seven. In either method, North is strong enough to insist on game.

The second-best response is a four-club splinter bid (if you use that gadget). Best, though, is a jump to three diamonds. By a passed hand, a single jump shift is called a fit-showing jump. In principle, North has a maximum pass, four-card heart support, five-plus diamonds and most of his points in those two suits.

South then jumps to four hearts.

West leads the spade king. The defenders take three tricks in that suit before shifting to a club.

How should South continue?

At first glance, declarer must guess whether to cash his heart ace (hoping East has the singleton king) or to lead dummy’s queen (hoping West has a singleton jack). However, look more closely. If East has the singleton king, West, with jack-nine-four, must take a trump trick. Instead, South should cross to dummy and lead the heart queen. Assuming East covers with his king, when West’s jack appears under South’s ace, declarer returns to dummy, finesses East out of his heart nine and claims.

Living well in a 707-square-foot apartment

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post

to stash the holiday decorations (two faux leather Target bins on top of a wardrobe). “We discuss what multiple uses we can get out of a piece of furniture before we buy it,” Slitor says.

“We don’t keep things around just because we think we might need them someday.”

Weixler agrees. “I’m a pretty orderly person. Not as much as Abbey, but I’m not messy, and I like being organized.”

Like many urban dwellers, they enjoy the ease of living and working in the center of things.

They were intrigued by this new apartment complex with amenities including a gym, a

rooftop dog park and dog-washing station for Truman, their French bulldog, and a Giant food store on the lower level.

They knew they were trading in larger quarters, but they loved the open feeling of the modern kitchen and its big granite island. The prospect of having a full-size washer and dryer and a balcony with a city view sealed the deal. They accepted that sometimes love means having to say goodbye to your fondue pot and snowboard.

Once they decided to move, they started de-accessioning immediately, through Craigslist, eBay and charity donations.

adno=0308523

Abbey Slitor and Warren Weixler of Washington recently downsized.

In March, the couple moved from an 850-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment to a 707-square-foot one-bedroom with a den.

They were drawn by a growing, lively neighborhood, and they were ready to go smaller.

They wanted to shed some of their things, dump their storage unit and live with only what they really loved or needed.

It was a challenge, but the two of them were up to it. “We work so hard trying to make our lives simpler,” Slitor says. “It makes us happy.”

Slitor, 34, runs Social Market, a communications firm specializing in marketing and social media.

Her office is in the tiny den in the couple’s new place. Her boyfriend of eight years, Weixler, 32, co-owns Swatchroom, a design and fabrication firm a block from their apartment that does commercial interiors for places such as Twitter’s Washington offices and local restaurants.

Both share a love of clean, simple design and clutter-free living. They enjoy creative problem solving, whether figuring out where to keep the tea (a narrow Ikea sideboard) or where A dresser doubles as a night stand in the one-bedroom apartment.

Weixler worked with the floor plan to strategize what had to go and what they would need to buy: He figured out they could hold only 70 percent of their furnishings. For example, their bedroom would be smaller, and with a king-size bed, they would not have room for a pair of nightstands, table lamps or a TV. They devised a plan for storage of clothes and accessories. “It’s important to have both shared space and personal space,” Weixler says, “what

drawers and cabinets are mine, versus Abbey’s.” They divided the bedroom closet, bought a bedroom chest for each and installed two narrow mirrored Ikea Brimnes wardrobes in the den for out-of-season clothes, beach towels, a sewing machine and bike helmets.

The new place is all white and has an open feel. From the front door, a hallway leads into the kitchen and then the living room lined with windows.

more boxes labeled ‘kitchen.’ We realized we were spoiled in our old place,” Weixler says. “We both like to cook, so we had collected a lot of stuff. We knew some of it had to go, so as were opening the boxes, we set aside things to get rid of.”

The kitchen island was great for prepping food, serving and eating, but they had counter space for only their coffee machine and their espresso maker. They needed a pantry. But with only a small sliver of hallway to work with, choices were limited to a long, narrow sideboard. They found Ikea’s Stockholm model, only 151/2 inches deep with two drawers inside.

Another storage-rich purchase was the compact Seguro media console they got at the Alexandria, Virginia, Crate & Barrel outlet, which has a sliding door, shelves and drawers to stash their modem, Playstation, record player and vinyl collection, plus board games.

• LIVING WELL Continued from page 2 The den, a small space with translucent glass sliding doors, is off to the left of the hallway, the bedroom and bathroom to the right. They decided to keep to a neutral palette for the furniture: white, beige and ivory, with some color added through accessories and one very bold Strandmom orange chair and ottoman from Ikea.

The main source of color comes from the art they’ve collected, a lot of it by local artists.

On move-in day, even with the best of planning, they were in for a surprise. They had realized they had little space for clothes, but they were surprised at how little space they had to store their food.

Their glamorous new kitchen with its generous island had minimal cabinets and only two drawers. “The movers kept carrying in more and

“I love to eat popcorn out of my grandmother’s crystal bowl,” Slitor says. “I’ve learned how nice it is to have attachments to the smaller things in life.”
