I

had a lovely morning a couple of weeks ago, chatting in an Elburn living room with Army veteran Bob Funderburke.

Funderburke spoke about his time serving in Korea during the

Korean conflict and – at times – held back tears as he recalled all the men he served with and some of those who didn’t make it back.

Funderburke spoke about how

he came home and married at age 21. My eye was immediately drawn to the wedding photo of him and his wife, Theresa, on the wall. He and Theresa moved to Elburn after she became

disabled, and he cared for her until she passed away a few years ago.

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Bob.

ST. CHARLES

Chamber boasts successful 2013

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The St. Charles Chamber of Commerce saw lots of positives in 2013, as new programs gained momentum and new businesses moved into the city, said Tom Hansen, president of the organization.

During the St. Charles State of the Chamber annual breakfast held Thursday at Eagle Brook Country Club in Geneva, leaders also gave members an idea of what they can expect to see next year.

Before Hansen highlighted some of the newer programs that recently took off, he said the Chamber administered 45 ribbon-cutting events last year, and attendance at the annual golf outing was up about 15 percent, with 110 attendees.

Also, 62 new members joined the Chamber this year.

Hansen said the morning Java Jump event started last year has been a success, giving business owners another means of networking. Another new Chamber initiative helped put members of the board of directors face-toface with numerous business owners about two weeks ago, as they spent about half a day meeting with merchants around town.

“It was a great way to meet people and find out what their needs are,” he said. “It was really well received, and we had a lot of fun doing that.”

Kristine Kowalski, chairman of the board-elect, noted that new activity is stirring for the Charlestowne Mall and the First Street project.

She said looking forward, Chamber leaders hope to hire a full-time business represen-

Scholarship banquet planned for Nov. 16 AURORA – The fifth annual Fox Valley Christian Ministerial Alliance Scholarship Banquet will be at 7 p.m.

The dinner will benefit the group’s scholarship fund for local students.

The evening’s speakers will include Vincent Gaddis, professor at Benedictine University, and Bishop Charles Phillips, FVCMA president and pastor of New Covenant Full Gospel Church.

For tickets, call 630-2361922.

tative who would help recruit new members and identify opportunities to help existing businesses grow.

Dan Stellato with the St. Charles Chamber Council for Industry said the program awarded a student with an $1,250 scholarship, and Chamber members had a chance to see an electric car being built at St. Charles North High

School through its Project Lead the Way program.

Devin O’Brien, chair of the relatively new Young Professionals Council, said that program has been gaining momentum, as well.

He noted that the group will host an “ugly sweater party” at The Office in St. Charles from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 10.

As the event wrapped up, Membership Chairman Scott Pruden announced the winners of the Rookie Member of the Year and Member of the Year awards.

He named Colleen Noe, a doctor with Integrated Family Health Care, as Rookie Member of the Year, while Kowalski was named Member of the Year.

The Moving Wall

By ERIC SCHELKOPF

Memorial honors those who served in Vietnam

Know more

eschelkopf@shawmedia.com As Vietnam War veteran John Milburn of Oswego on Thursday gazed at the more than 58,000 names engraved on The Moving Wall, he thought of his own fallen comrades.

“I came here to pay my respects,” Milburn said. “They gave their lives.”

The Moving Wall, a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, will be at West Aurora High School in Aurora through Monday, which is Veterans Day. The Moving Wall has been touring the country for almost 30 years.

The Moving Wall is stationed at Plum Street and Commonwealth Avenue at the high school. Thursday was the first day of public viewing.

Darlene Gillette of Aurora said Vietnam War veterans didn’t get the respect they deserved when they returned home from the war. She was visiting The Moving Wall with her husband, who served in the Vietnam War. “There really was no celebration for them when they came back,” Gillette said.

Opening ceremonies for The Moving Wall are set for 10:30 a.m. Friday. As part of the ceremony, the names of 18 Au-

Other activities include a ceremony at 2 p.m. Saturday at The Moving Wall to recognize and honor Gold Star families who have lost loved ones in war.

A full list of Moving Wall activities is available at www. vietnammovingwallaurora. org.

The Moving Wall exhibit is in conjunction with the Healing Field display at West Aurora High School off of Plum Street.

From Sunday through Wednesday, there will be 2,013 flags on display as part of the Healing Field, which is dedicated to all military veterans.

The Healing Field is sponsored by Old Second National Bank and the A+ Foundation for West Aurora.

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – An Aurora man must serve more than four years in prison for threatening to kill a Kane County judge, according to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.

“Threatening a judge ex-

tends well beyond disrespect for the court,” State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said in a written statement. “We take Christopher such threats to Garcia Jr. public officials seriously, and we will prose-

cute them appropriately.”

Circuit Judge Susan Clancy Boles sentenced Christopher Garcia Jr., 25, on Thursday to four and a half years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. He got credit for serving 170 days in the Kane County Jail.

Garcia was convicted in September of threatening a

public official, a Class 3 felony, when he was in Aurora Branch Court last May for a misdemeanor offense of resisting police.

On May 7, Associate Judge Alice Tracy ordered Garcia in contempt of court after he became angry.

Kane County Sheriff’s Office personnel told Garcia he

would be sentenced to 30 days in jail for being in contempt, prompting him to make threats of violence toward the judge.

He also threatened to destroy government property.

Kane County Assistant State’s Attorneys Mark D. Stajdohar and Megan Matuska prosecuted the case.

Water tower to sport new look

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

The water tower hasn’t been painted in 18 to 19 years and is in need of a new paint job, he said.

The village plans to go out to bid on the project in January or February, Young said, and the project could begin in April or late May, depending on the weather.

The project is expected to take six weeks to complete, but residents should not see a drop in pressure while the water tower is out of service, Young said.

NORTH AURORA – By spring, the village’s east side water tower likely will lose its big blue stripe, as officials make plans to repaint the tower.

Village trustees at Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting chose a new design for the 500,000-gallon water tower. The new design will feature two thin blue stripes that will replace the red

stripes that currently border the big blue stripe.

In addition, the new design will feature “Village of” in cursive letters.

“It gives it a cleaner look,” North Aurora water operations superintendent Paul Young said. “We can give it a new look without a lot of expense. The darker color tends to scuff and fade.”

The project, which will involve painting the water tower inside and out, is estimated to cost $240,000, Young said.

8LOCAL BRIEFS Community sing-along planned Dec. 8 in Aurora AURORA – The Fox Valley Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, Academy Orchestra and guest soloists will join forces with the community to sing-along in a “Do-It-Yourself” Messiah and other holiday music at 3 p.m. Dec. 8 at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 420 W.

Admission to the concert is free, but it is a benefit concert for Lifespring Ministries, and donations are being solicited.

Those planning to sing-along can bring, or borrow or buy the choral part of Messiah at the door ($10 a book or refundable deposit).

After the concert, there will be a reception with refreshments in Our Savior’s Parish House.

GENEVA

Mothers Club to host craft fair; changes moniker

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – After 70 years of being known as the Mothers Club of Geneva, members of the well-known group of philanthropists voted to change their name to the Geneva Women’s Club.

The group raises money through various fundraisers, especially this year, with its 39th annual Arts and Crafts Show, which will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Geneva High School, 416 McKinley Ave., Geneva. The entry fee is $4.

It will represent the last craft fair hosted under the club’s current name, said president Nikki Spitzer, 44, because as of Jan. 1, it officially becomes the Geneva Women’s Club.

“We have made a big decision,” Spitzer said. “We voted on changing the name in September.”

The impetus was the membership numbers going down from a high of 80 a few years ago, to the current 30. Spitzer said the name change reflects that the group is not for mothers only, but for any woman interested in “friends, family and philanthropy.”

“We decided we needed a marketing plan and a different approach to doing things

If you go n Group: Mothers Club of Geneva n What: 39th annual Arts and

Crafts Fair n When: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday n Where: Geneva High School, 417 McKinley Ave., Geneva n Why: Fundraiser for local charities, scholarships n Cost: $4 entry fee n More info: Event will include more than 80 crafters, lunch, a bake sale and raffle baskets and gaining new members,” Spitzer said. “The name didn’t explain what we are. Women were thinking they had to be mothers, or sit around and knit and do play groups. We are a big philanthropic group. … The new name, Geneva Women’s Club, is open to more people and more inviting.”

But some things don’t change, and the annual craft fair still will continue under the new moniker, she said.

Saturday’s event will include more than 80 crafters, raffle gift baskets, lunch and a bake sale with scratch-made pies. The bake sale will include Ball jars of little apple pies and brownies, she said, as well as regular-sized fruit pies.

Its goal also will not change – to raise money for local charities and scholarships.

AURORA – Today, Presence Health Fox Valley ministries will honor veterans at the first “Stars & Stripes Gala.” The event will be from 6:30 to 11 p.m. at Piper’s Banquets, 1295 Butterfield Road, Aurora, featuring Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Allen Lynch as the guest speaker.

Other guests will include Joe and Helen Rippinger and John Carr, veterans of Aurora.

Geneva to save $77K on bond refunding

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Aldermen this week approved the sale of $1.5 million in refunding bonds, a net savings of about $77,000 in interest on the life of the loan.

Refunding or calling the current bonds involves issuing new debt to cover the principal and interest owed, officials said.

Raphaliata McKenzie of Speer Financial said it was a negotiated bond sale of outstanding debt of the city’s Series 2003 Electric Revenue Bonds Electric System Alternate Revenue Source to Robert W. Baird Company of Naperville.

The sale will extend the debt seven years but gives the

city savings on the debt, officials said.

The original bond was for nearly $19 million, records show.

“The old bonds had interest rates ranging from about 4.75 percent to 5 percent, and these were replaced with 2 percent or 3 percent bonds, with a true interest rate of 2.28 percent,” McKenzie said. “It was a situation where we needed to grab the savings now, or they would eventually go away.”

Estimated fees for the refunding bond sale are $39,500, officials said.

McKenzie said because the issue was so small, Speer Financial reduced the city’s costs as much as possible, such as not charging an $1,800 fee for printing the statement,

“The old bonds had interest rates ranging from about 4.75 percent to 5 percent, and these were replaced with 2 percent or 3 percent bonds, with a true interest rate of 2.28 percent.”

Raphaliata McKenzie Speer Financial but sending it electronically.

“We did in-house printed copies and sent those off to individuals who wanted printed copies,” McKenzie said.

City Administrator Mary McKittrick reminded officials that this bond sale was approved in June and was anticipated to be completed in August.

“That fell through because the rates were not good at that

time,” McKittrick said. “It was delayed until [Monday].

I want to remind everybody we have been working on this since June to save almost $80,000.”

In June, aldermen approved $4 million in refunding bonds from 2003 and 2007 for an anticipated savings of

$200,000.

The bond refunding this week involved only the loan from 2003 because the market did not yield as good a return, officials said.

Second Ward Alderman Don Cummings said it was too bad the city lost out on additional savings, “but that is what happens when interest rates rise and the opportunity to refinance at a low level [is] gone.”

Cummings owns Blue Haven Capital, an investment management company active in the bond market.

“Interest rates are changing constantly,” Cummings said. “You just never know.”

OPINIONS Dog ownership an awesome responsibility Late fall. Dusk. You walk down a familiar subdivision sidewalk with Trixie, your leashed puddle of fur, trotting from parkway to lawn; she’s happily doing her thing.

Suddenly, from the shadows of a house, a ferocious, stentorian barking erupts. Startled, adrenaline cascading, you see a monster truck of a dog, let’s call him Bluto, accelerating toward you across mowed turf.

Although scared and shaken at the threat, you think, “This is the Tri-Cities; we’re good,” believing an invisible fence, cops or God will stop the dog.

In fact, none do. You stare, horrified, as Bluto bounds onto the sidewalk and fixes his fangs into Trixie’s neck like a rawhide chewy substitute. She cowers and shrieks. You pull her leash. Bluto hangs on. Exasperated, you try to wedge between the mismatched gladiators.

Which is when Bluto turns his attention on you. His mouth goes after an ankle as if wrapped in a grilled and seasoned Lady Gaga meat sock. You instinctively reach down to bat him away, and he bites the offending hand.

Just then, someone calls from the house, “Bluto! Good dog! C’mere, boy!” or some such nonsense. The dog, frustrated as a 2-year-old instructed that he can’t eat sand, relents.

You walk home and check your wounds. Skin has been broken.

You go back and ask if the dog’s had his shots. You call the police.

They drive up and impound the dog for the mandatory 10 days. It’s the least they can do.

This incident, as the movies say, is based on a real event. It happened to a neighbor of mine.

He said the dog was not wearing his invisible fence collar, rendering the fence not only invisible but useless.

I hate invisible fences, even when they work. On walks

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger with our dog, Chewball, I’ll be listening to Jackson Browne beneath fall foliage, or over packed snow, when a leash-less, hairy Godzilla races toward us, roaring like we’d stolen his steak bone, nothing between us and knifelike ivory canines but hope. How do I know if a small electric shock will reign him in?

If the owner does appear (next to never), he’ll coo something like, “Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite,” an assurance I take as lightly as a promise not to invade Poland.

Owning a dog is like owning a gun – it’s legal, but it’s also an awesome responsibility. It can, literally, be deadly. Just ask the family of the South Side Chicago man killed last year by his own pit bull.

Careful, it might be loaded.

Most communities invite backyard wood or plastic fencing.

If that’s not enough acreage for your precious Bluto, get off your butt and take the poor animal for a walk. Don’t let him goosestep your lawn while salaciously waiting to terrorize innocent locals out for a stroll or jog on what’s expected to be a quiet, safe sidewalk.

Either that, or do us all a favor and downsize. Buy a cat.

Koehring the ‘enforcer’ on defense

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com

• Friday, November 8, 2013

MAPLE PARK – The Kaneland football team’s offense has been elite for years. The Knights’ defense has caught up in recent seasons, and Gary Koehring has been right in the middle of that development.

A three-year starter, the 6-foot-1, 220-pound Koehring relishes his role as the unquestioned leader of the Knights’ defense at middle linebacker.

“You get to be the leader of the defense, and you get to hit people, which is the best part of football,” Koehring said.

“A lot of intimidation factor.

I like being the enforcer.”

The Knights will need all the swagger they can muster Saturday night as Kaneland (9-1) visits one of the state’s most highly regarded programs, Joliet Catholic (9-1), in an IHSA Class 5A second-round playoff matchup.

Kaneland coach Tom Fedderly said Koehring has been at his best this season, buoyed by a fierce Knights defensive line that has enabled Koehring to play downhill football.

“Last year he had over 100 tackles, and I think he’s at like 95 right now, and that’s with a couple games when he was hurt earlier, so he’s going to have back-to-back 100 tackle seasons, which is awesome,” Fedderly said.

Fedderly pegged Koehring as a legitimate all-state candidate. He had the body-type to warrant being called up as a sophomore, and his wealth of varsity experience from the past three years is paying off handsomely.

“He’s a really smart football player,” Fedderly said.

“He’s been an academic all-

Kaneland visits Joliet Catholic on Saturday in Round 2 of the 5A state playoffs. state kid last year, he’s got over a 4.0 [grade-point average]. So he’s a real physical kid, he’s a quick kid, and he’s a smart kid.”

Koehring’s presence was especially crucial for the Knights this year considering linebacker was one of the Knights’ least experienced positional groups. But a linebacking corps that also includes Ty Carlson (two interceptions last week against Hampshire), Cole Carlson, Dan Hammermeister and

Sam Bower has progressed nicely.

The Knights’ linebackers have done their part for a Kaneland defense that has limited opponents to 20 or fewer points in nine of the Knights’ 10 games, including a Round 1 shutout over the Whip-Purs last Friday.

“I’ve liked it a lot,” said Koehring, of Kaneville.

“Since I’ve been on varsity, we’ve gotten better on defense each year. My sophomore

year we were a bit shaky, we were really young. Last year we really stepped up, had a lot of experience – we were pretty good on defense.

“And then this year, everyone’s just really stepped up and kind of taken the defense as our own part of the team and made it something fun to be part of.”

Saturday’s showdown in Joliet offers a prime opportunity for Koehring and Company to make a statement that would resonate across Illinois.

The Hilltoppers run a bruising, double-wing offense that few defenses are equipped to handle. Koehring intends to see to it that the Knights become an exception.

“You definitely have to see the pulling guards, and you’ve got to get off blocks – that’s the main thing,” Koehring said. “They’re going to come after you, so you can’t stay blocked, otherwise you’re just going to make it easy for them to run.”

KCCHRONICLE.COM/PREPS GAME OF THE WEEK

ROUND 2 CHECK-DOWNS

CLASS 5A SECOND ROUND, (5) KANELAND (9-1) AT (4) JOLIET CATHOLIC (9-1)

ROAD TRIPPING

Kaneland fans traveling to Joliet on Saturday night figure to have a pleasant viewing experience.

Joliet Catholic plays in the 10,000-seat Joliet Memorial Stadium, a turf, park district venue that Joliet Catholic shares with several other programs, including the University of St. Francis football team.

“It’s a great facility to watch a game so Kaneland fans should have no trouble getting in and out and finding good seats,” Joliet Catholic coach Dan Sharp said.

REMEMBER WHEN …

Marmion is trying to buck a trend of oddyear, postseason heartbreak against Prairie Ridge, having been ousted from the playoffs by the Wolves in 2007, 2009 and 2011. Cadets coach Dan Thorpe acknowledged that, by this point, it’s personal with Prairie Ridge.

“If you’re a competitor … we have an opportunity for a do-over, and that doesn’t happen too many times in life,” Thorpe said.

“We talked about that to the kids, about playing for Marmion teams in the past. Especially the ’09 team, we were pretty good, and we went up there and didn’t play well.”

SLEEPER GAME OF THE WEEK

Marmion at Prairie Ridge. While Marmion is a substantial seeding favorite, between the Cadets’ injury concerns at linebacker, the Wolves’ past postseason dominance over the Cadets and the fact that the game is being played in Crystal Lake, Saturday’s lone matinee among the area teams has the makings of a hotly contested game.

COACHING SPOTLIGHT

Nobody’s accused Aurora Christian’s Don Beebe of being a cookie-cutter coach, and he proved it again last week at IC Catholic.

Beebe held out dynamic defensive lineman Jonah Walker – on the mend from an injury – for the entire first half at IC Catholic Prep, only to insert him in the second half to give his team a major jolt.

“If you watch the film … he took over the game,” said Beebe, who might reprise the tactic Saturday with a couple of other hobbled Eagles standouts.

THINKING AHEAD

If the seeds hold the next couple of weeks, an area team will head to Rockford Boylan in both the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds of the Class 6A playoffs.

If fifth-seeded Marmion wins at 13th seeded Prairie Ridge and top-seeded Boylan wins at ninth-seeded Cary-Grove on Saturday, the Cadets would visit the Titans in the 6A quarterfinals next week in a rematch of the 2010, 6A state title game.

Going a step further, if Boylan and Batavia are both still around for the state semifinals, the second-seeded Bulldogs would also pay the Titans a visit.

– Jay Schwab, jschwab@shawmedia.com.

7 p.m. Saturday at Joliet Memorial Stadium The buzz in the stands They meet, at last.

As much success as Joliet Catholic and Kaneland have enjoyed in recent years – the Hilltoppers have won six state championships and finished second twice under coach Dan Sharp, while Kaneland has been an elite 5A program under coach Tom Fedderly, including consecutive state semifinal berths in 2010-11 – the teams have not met in recent vintage.

Sharp – JCA’s coach since 1997 – said the last time he faced Kaneland came when he coached at Minooka and the Knights were led by Joe Thorgesen.

Sharp said Kaneland nonetheless has been on Joliet Catholic’s radar.

“We know of Kaneland’s reputation,” Sharp said. “Believe me, they’re as good as any football team we’ve played against the last couple years. Without a doubt, they could play I think with any level of competition in Illinois.”

Marquee matchup Both coaches zeroed in on line play as each other’s strengths. Sharp said Kaneland’s lines are as formidable as any the Hilltoppers have played this year.

Joliet Catholic is accustomed to having its way up front to power the team’s double-wing rushing attack.

“We think we match up, up front, pretty well,” Fedderly said. “ … We’re really excited to see what we can do against such a good program.”

X-factor On Week 5 of the season, a pair of key Joliet Catholic performers – senior quarterback Nick Morrison and senior offensive guard J.B. Butler, a Division I prospect – suffered ankle injuries.

Morrison returned in Joliet Catholic’s Round 1 blowout over Chicago Urban Prep on Saturday, but is splitting time with sophomore Cade Earl, who distinguished himself in Morrison’s absence.

“I think, one, we’re keeping a close eye on the injury to [Morrison], and then our sophomore has played so well, we feel he would get a chance to maybe take a little pressure off [Morrison], and also get him continued game experience,” Sharp said.

Meanwhile, Butler’s status for a potential return was unclear as of Thursday afternoon. The same applies for Kaneland senior receiver Brandon Bishop, who exited the Knights’ 35-0 win over Hampshire last week via ambulance, but is doing fine and attended school all week, Fedderly said.

Best-case scenario for the Knights The defensive formula Kaneland has refined playing Rochelle over the years translates to dealing with Joliet Catholic. The Hubs are the closest reference point, schematically, for what Kaneland will see against JCA, although the Knights recognize the Hilltoppers’ prowess up front and the presence of dynamic lead back Mike Ivlow make JCA a beastly matchup.

“It’s going to be, I think, a different thing, seeing that scheme with as big of a line as they have, and as accomplished as they are running,” Fedderly said. “I mean, Rochelle does a great job so we have some familiarity with it, but it’s just something that I can’t wait to see how our kids handle going there and playing this great team that they have.”

The Knights’ defense has allowed more than 20 points only once, a Week 8 loss to Sycamore. Outside linebacker

Ty Carlson should be plenty confident coming off his two-interception outing against Hampshire.

“Ty has had an unbelievable season,” Fedderly said. “We thought he’d be good there because he’s a good athlete, he’s another really smart kid, and he’s 6-2, 190 on the outside there. It makes it hard to throw over a kid that’s that lanky.”

Best-case scenario for the Hilltoppers JCA forces Kaneland into turnovers and penalties, which proved a lethal combination in the Knights’ loss to Sycamore.

Kaneland quarterback Drew David is an accomplished, dynamic leader, but the Hilltoppers have the personnel defensively – led by safeties Brandon Bolek and Jackson Shanklin, middle linebacker Mike Gruben and defensive end Xavier Hernandez – to put David and Co. into high-pressure spots, especially if the Knights can’t establish balance with their running game.

Joliet Catholic is battle-hardened, already having beaten eight teams with winning records. The Hilltoppers’ lone loss was 22-21 on Oct. 4 against St. Patrick, the team that eliminated Geneva from the 7A playoffs last week.

Jay Schwab’s prediction: Joliet Catholic 27, Kaneland 24.

Kaneland is rugged, well-coached and skilled enough to take the field expecting to beat anybody, so this game is not out of the Knights’ reach. But Joliet Catholic has home field, as much pedigree as any program in the state and a back in Ivlow that likely is the biggest individual difference-maker in a game stacked with quality players.

PREP FOOTBALL ROUND 2 PREVIEW CAPSULES Class 6A second round: (2) Batavia (9-1) at (10) Rolling Meadows (7-3), 6 p.m. Saturday Last week: Batavia beat DeKalb, 48-6; Rolling Meadows beat Grayslake North, 49-20.

The skinny: Batavia placed a whopping 14 members on the Upstate Eight Conference River all-conference team that was released this week – including conference offensive player of the year

Anthony Scaccia and conference defensive player of the year Michael Moffatt.

“And honestly, I’m still disappointed,” Batavia coach Dennis Piron said. “There are some kids on our team well deserving of being on that football team. … I just feel we have an awful lot of kids playing at a very high level.” Piron emphasized that individual accolades are peripheral for the team-oriented Bulldogs, many of whom have sacrificed

potentially huge statistical seasons because of the team’s unusual depth and balance. In Rolling Meadows, Piron said the Bulldogs must contend with a more high-powered passing game than anything the Bulldogs have seen to date.

Quarterback Bobby Suchecki has come on strong for a Mustangs team that was tremendous offensively in pulling off a first-round, road win last week.

Class 6A second round: (5) Marmion (8-2) at (13) Prairie Ridge (6-4), 1 p.m.

Saturday Last week: Prairie Ridge beat Lakes, 21-14; Marmion beat Fenton, 39-0.

The skinny: Cadets coach Dan Thorpe has plenty of respect for Prairie Ridge’s program, with the Wolves having dealt the Cadets playoff losses in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

“We’re not going to out-coach them, we’re not going to outscheme them or anything like that,” Thorpe said. “It’s going to really come down to our kids defending their power and

“We feel very good about our ability to cover the pass, rush the passer and do those sorts of things,” Piron said. “It’s going to be very, very difficult to deal with an attack that does exactly what they do. We haven’t seen anything quite like that all year long.” The Mustangs finished in a three-way tie for first place in the Mid-Suburban East with Hersey and Elk Grove, both of which were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. The Mustangs were the conference’s highest scoring team, but their defense has been less impressive, although Rolling Meadows has made defensive strides since ugly early losses to Fremd (54-21) and Barrington (48-28). Bulldogs linebacker Anthony Thielk had 14 tackles – two for a loss – to go with a sack, a blocked punt and a forced fumble in the Bulldogs’ Round 1 rout against DeKalb.

Extra point: Scaccia (1,262 rushing yards, 19 rushing touchdowns) has been especially dazzling on turf this season, and he’ll have another shot at an artificial surface Saturday in Rolling Meadows. Piron was appreciative of Mooseheart allowing the Bulldogs to practice on turf this week.

Playoff trivia: Rolling Meadows is 7-13 overall in the playoffs, and last won a postseason game in 2007 under former coach Doug Millsaps.

then slash, option football, and us offensively moving the ball against their defense.” Much is made of the difficulty of preparing for the Wolves’ triple-option offense come playoff time, but Thorpe turned that premise around, noting Prairie Ridge doesn’t see Suburban Christian Conference Blue-caliber passing attacks during the season. “The same could be said, we should have the advantage throwing the ball. … We should be able to take advantage of their lack of seeing the spread throughout the season, and that’s one of the approaches I am taking,” Thorpe said. The Wolves have three guys who have rushed for more than 600 yards – quarterback Brett Covalt (735 yards), Zack Greenberg (668 yards) and Brent Anderson (617 yards). The Cadets’ health outlook for the game is “not good at all,” as Thorpe put it, with key contributors such as linebacker/running back Mike Montalbano (team-high 62 tackles), defensive lineman Joe Talbot, linebacker/receiver Enzo Olabi and running back/ defensive end Jordan Glasgow all banged up. Of that quartet, Thorpe said Glasgow – who sprained the opposite ankle in the regular-season finale from the one that dogged him early in the season – is most likely to play. Thorpe said junior running back Sean Campbell and junior linebackers Kyle Jordan and Rory Arnold could be forced into larger roles, with fullback/ linebacker Lucas Warren likely to play more two-way ball than usual.

Extra point: Prairie Ridge’s triple-option offense commands plenty of attention but it was the Wolves’ defense that came up with a huge stand at the end of last week’s 21-14 upset – by seed, at least – over Lakes.

“Over the years, our defense has often got overlooked,” Wolves coach Chris Schremp told the Northwest Herald. “We do tend in some games to score a lot of points, and people like those big offensive numbers.

But they forget about the other end of it.”

IHSA CLASS 4A GENEVA SECTIONAL: GENEVA DEF. STC NORTH, 2-1 (21-25, 25-22, 25-22)

Geneva girls volleyball seizes first sectional

By KEVIN DRULEY

IHSA Class 4A Geneva Sectional

kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – That old saying about those who don’t know history being doomed to repeat it no longer bedevils the Geneva girls volleyball program.

Every Viking realized the school lacked a sectional title entering the season.

Every Viking yelled, jumped and mugged for photos when Thursday’s 21-25, 25-22, 25-22 victory against St. Charles North changed that, securing the Class 4A Geneva Sectional championship for the hosts.

Geneva (29-9) advanced to Saturday’s St. Charles East Supersectional against New Trier, where it hopes to again be in position to scream without any bad taste in players’ mouths. Close calls such as a three-game sectional final loss to Glenbard West in 2012 are history, too.

“It’s so amazing. Last year, we were right there. Three games, and we lost in the end,” Vikings senior setter Courtney Caruso said. “This is just the most incredible feeling. I’m just so, so happy.”

North (30-6) looked like it would be the celebrating side in the early going, building an 8-1 lead in the opening game.

The Vikings committed four errors on the North Stars’ first seven points and looked shaky when they did deposit the ball over the net.

North’s Sophia DuVall smacked a free ball to the ground for a 3-0 lead that sparked North’s student sec-

Eventually, the Vikings shifted the momentum by tuning out that group and the North Stars, who they had defeated in three games in September, handing North its lone Upstate Eight Conference River Division loss.

Behind Northern Illi nois-bound senior outside hitter Taylor Krage (nine kills), the North Stars prevailed in a tight Game 1.

of normalcy was restored last week as the Eagles resembled their dominant selves in a first-round win at IC Catholic Prep. Most of the Eagles’ long list of injured starters returned, although senior Chase Tomney is likely out for the year, and two-way threats Noah Roberts and Jackson Carpenter reinjured themselves during the win. Eagles coach Don Beebe said those two might be in a similar role this week to last week’s plan for standout lineman Jonah Walker, who only played the second half, and made a major impact upon entering. Beebe said junior quarterback Austin Bray is back to 100 percent after returning last week

Game 2 was tied as late as 22-all before the two players with the least grasp of Geneva’s postseason struggles stepped up again.

Freshmen Grace Loberg (14 kills) and Ally Barrett sandwiched kills around a North Stars net violation to close the game and tie the match. Barrett – who joined Hannah Lanasa with nine kills to help thwart North’s block – collected the

at less than full strength. Recalibrating timing with his receivers remains a work in progress after the quarterback missed three-plus games to close the regular season. “Passing is a different deal, and that was really the one area I thought we’ve got to improve on,” Beebe said.

“And we will.” This will be the third time in four years Aurora Christian encounters the hard-nosed, Wing-T-running Oregon program in the playoffs, with the Eagles prevailing 38-0 in 2010 and 34-21 in 2011. This year’s Hawks were 3-4 before winning three straight, including last week’s Round 1 upset at Wilmington.

Extra point: Upon further review,

first two kills of Game 3. Loberg delivered the final three before a North hitting error ended the match, sending the freshmen into the wild fray.

“At the start of the season, they had a lot of catching up to do with the pace of the game, and you couldn’t ask them to do it much better than they’re doing,” Vikings coach KC Johnsen said.

North coach Lindsey Hawkins said it would be difficult to close the book on a season that saw spirited play from veterans such as libero Alex Seavey and setter Sydney Wohlert, but added that the group’s legacy “is going to carry on forever.”

“We were always proud of this team for being resilient and never dying, and we definitely weren’t going to let them roll over us in the third game,” Krage said. “We really were going to fight all the way to the end.”

Caruso (29 assists), Kelsey Wicinski (28 digs) and Taylor Marmitt (seven blocks) also shined for Geneva.

“Our team is beyond happy to be moving on,” Loberg said.

Aurora Christian do-it-all senior Brandon Walgren’s performance in the IC Catholic win was as brilliant as Beebe originally figured – maybe moreso. “He graded out the highest of any player in 10 years, so he did have arguably the best game ever [at Aurora Christian], defensively,” Beebe said.

Playoff trivia: Veteran Oregon coach John Bothe has taken the Hawks to the playoffs in 11 of his 16 seasons, although the Hawks missed the postseason last year, finishing 2-7.

Central falls short in sectional final

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Friday, November 8, 2013

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com BURLINGTON – The Burlington Central girls volleyball team had all the momentum on its side Thursday against Marian Central in an IHSA Class 3A sectional final.

The Rockets recovered after dropping the opening game with a win in Game 2, thanks in part to the Hurricanes’ 15 unforced errors, to force a decisive third game.

Central quickly fell behind in Game 3, though, and couldn’t pull off a comeback in a 25-21, 18-25, 25-15 loss to Marian on its home court in the sectional final.

“You’re down and you expend so much energy just to catch up that once they hit us in that third game, we didn’t respond,” Rockets coach Marv Leavitt said.

“We tried, but it was hard.

The Rockets (27-12) briefly led midway through Game 1, but the Hurricanes (23-16) recovered to put them away.

An impressive effort in Game 2 from senior middle blocker Makenna Jensen and senior outside hitter Jenna Schudel, both of whom fin-

ished with a team-best nine kills, kept the host Rockets’ season alive.

Central opened the game with a 9-2 lead, though the

Hurricanes whittled it to 15-14, forcing a Rockets timeout. But the Rockets didn’t back down and closed the Game 2 win on a 10-4 run.

“I feel like we realized, OK this isn’t just going to be given to us and we have to play, it’s not going to be easy,” Jensen said. “We had to pull through it.”

However, Central struggled to keep pace with Marian in Game 3. The Hurricanes’ improved blocking limited the Rockets’ clean looks at the net, and too many errors, including a service error to seal the match win for Marian, doomed Central.

“There is absolutely no quit in my team and they were going to fight until the last point,” Leavitt said.

“We’re extremely proud of them.”

Marian advances to Saturday’s Antioch Supersectional against Chicago Payton.

Third-place match, 11 a.m.

Saturday Championship match, 1 p.m.

Saturday season matches by at least two goals, although the Warriors barely hit that benchmark Tuesday. Wheaton Academy

clung to a 1-0 lead for almost the whole match before a last-minute goal from Ty Seager provided the 2-0 final margin.

It was one of 26 goals on the season for Seager, twice as many as the next closest Warrior (Sam Hardy, 13).

Seager attributed the Warriors’ success this season to their cohesiveness.

“We really play together,” Seager said. “There’s something on the back of our shirts, ‘ST’ – we play for that, we play together. It means stronger together. Our team, we try to play for something greater. It’s great to get a plaque, but a plaque just

[reflects] how hard we work.”

Wheaton Academy heads into the state tournament on an 11-match winning streak, with an Oct. 4 loss to Chicago Vocational, 3-2, marking the team’s last defeat.

St. Ignatius (18-5-2), meanwhile, reached the state semifinals despite a 1-3-1 start to the season, with all three of its early losses coming in a tournament in Quincy.

The defensive-minded Wolfpack have allowed one goal so far this postseason, and have only one player (Bryan Long, 12 goals) with a double-digit goal output.

The Wheaton Academy boys soccer team is headed to a new venue for this year’s IHSA Class 2A Boys Soccer state semifinals, and the Warriors are hoping for a different result, too.

The Warriors advanced to last year’s state semifinals – which took place in south suburban Frankfort – losing to Peoria Notre Dame in a penalty-kick shootout. Fresh off a revenge victory against Notre Dame in a supersectional Tuesday, the Warriors are

on to a state semifinal today against St. Ignatius at Hoffman Estates High School.

Wheaton Academy coach Jeff Brooke hopes the experience of last year’s state disappointment pays dividends this weekend.

“We were ready to play, but it was also new, everything about it,” said Brooke, whose team ended up with a fourthplace finish in last year’s tournament. “We’ve got a lot of returning guys, seniors, who will go into [today’s match] a little hungrier.”

Senior Chris Orlow and Batavia are running in Saturday’s Class 3A state boys cross country meet in Peoria as a team entry for the first time in program history.

BATAVIA CROSS COUNTRY

Batavia XC relishes maiden state voyage

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Veteran coach Mike DiDomenico welcomed three runners to his first Batavia boys cross country team in 1980.

The 2013 Bulldogs go more than 40 athletes strong, and on Saturday, five will collaborate on the program’s first team score at the Class 3A state meet in Peoria.

Batavia grabbed the fifth and final qualifying spot at last week’s Waubonsie Valley Sectional, edging Marmion by 15 points while also defeating St. Charles East, a regional champion that topped the Bulldogs for the Upstate Eight Conference River Division title.

The elation only escalated as the guys in the crimson and gold singlets realized the breaks would go their way.

“We’ve gotten close many years before and we’ve had individual athletes, but knowing that we made it down as a team not only is a great feeling for us but a great feeling for Batavia and the rest of the school,” senior Mitch Zabka said.

Runners feared they might be on the outside looking in once more at Waubonsie Valley.

Zabka paced Batavia with

a 27th-place finish in 16:06, two seconds ahead of junior Ryan Wieties. The uneasiness mounted as Marmion’s top two runners scored 13 and 15 points, respectively, while East senior Max Rowland took ninth.

Ultimately, the Bulldogs advanced on the strength of a 16-second split separating Zabka and No. 5 runner Patrick Redmond. In between, senior Mitch Voellinger – traditionally the team’s sixth or seventh man this fall – ran third for the team until classmate Jorden Berendt passed him down the stretch.

“I definitely felt like I had to give it my all,” Voellinger said, “or else it was the end of our season.”

Junior David Morrison, injured for most of the year with Achilles tendinitis, further boosted the effort as the seventh runner, just a few seconds behind senior Chris Orlow.

DiDomenico – the venerable “Coach D” to hundreds of athletes he’s guided in both cross country and track – naturally used a “d” word to address the Bulldogs’ success. For perhaps the first time in a tenure that will end after this season, the program is known for its depth more than the strength of its individuals.

To this point, the Bulldogs’ top achievement in the sport arguably was senior Jesse Barnes’ narrow runner-up finish to future Olympian Jorge Torres of Wheeling at the AA meet in 1996. About a decade later, the launch of Rotolo Middle School’s feeder cross country program helped fuel what Batavia hopes is an ongoing turnaround.

“That depth came from the fact that kids knew about cross country stepping in,” DiDomenico said. “Where in the past, I’ve had kids come out for cross country and they’ve said two things to me. One: ‘What is cross country?’ Two: ‘Do you supply the skis?’ “ On Thursday, before the Bulldogs ventured through the neighboring streets for a tuneup workout ahead of a team dinner, DiDomenico distributed something safer: T-shirts. The words “Batavia Cross Country Making History” appeared around a photo of the Bulldogs’ pack.

Several athletes wondered why the shot was cropped below runners’ heads. “Coach D” delighted in his response.

“I didn’t want any heads on it. I wanted the feet,” DiDomenico said.

“Team, right?”

Veterans Day, past and present Once again it is time to participate in Veterans Day. There are a number of ways to be involved in this observance. Some hear the 11 o’clock siren, which traditionally has symbolic reference to the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the treaty to end World War I was signed.

Those folks may simply pause and reflect on the sacrifices and service of those in the military. Others choose to attend public ceremonies.

These days many schools stage a remembrance and have local veterans share stories, a recent modification of having the day off!

In days long ago, the 11th was celebrated as opening day of the pheasant season and the date of the Geneva vs. St. Charles football game.

Our family was interested in these traditions but always turned out for the parade to wave to Grandpa Jim Arteberry, who rode in the open convertible with the other Spanish-American War veterans.

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month on a sunny day in Madison, Wis., in 1978, Phil and I were married and then set out to the Badgers vs. Spartans football game.

The legend is that we had 80,000 people at our wedding reception and a very large band that played our favorite songs while marching in formation.

Fittingly, the game ended in a tie. For details, ask Sharon and Carl Bergquist who were there.

Through the next years, when Phil and comrades in American Legion Post 342 and VFW Post 5036 staged the downtown commemorative event, there was another opportunity to wave and catch the patriotic spirit.

This year, joined by Amvets Post 503, the Post 5036 VFW and American Legion Post 342 will gather at the Freedom Walk just behind the Municipal Building in St. Charles at 10:40 a.m. to commemorate the service of all veterans – those who were in combat; those who kept the peace; those who supported the mission at home and abroad; and those who made the supreme sacrifice.

All of these men and women left

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry their homes, delayed education and careers and family life.

A snapshot is of local veterans, such as John Wredling, now 99, and the scant few World War II survivors, such as Ray Marck and Warren Kammerer.

(Note that former WAVE, Betty Butler, and Angelo DiLiberti, have recently each made a tandem parachute jump.)

The World War I veteran I knew best was at Gartner’s Bakery at the corner of West Main and Second Street.

The elder Mr. Gartner had a mini office that was open and high up – just across the bakery section. More than once he saw me and knew me as a frequent customer – often accompanied by Grandpa Steve Sharkin’s German Shepherd, who was accustomed to a vanilla ice cream cone dispensed by another Gartner.

Proudly, Mr. Gartner would go to a certain desk drawer and take out a folded piece of paper. He slowly revealed his treasure – a “cootie” brought back from a trench somewhere in France.

You will detect other veterans by their still visible or hidden disabilities; by the “can do” attitude in business and community service; or by that commanding presence of a John DePauw, Chuck Ingersoll or the ultimate marine, Dan Orland.

Some, like Mister Z, adorn their vehicles and sweat shirts with familiar insignia.

Most are simply our neighbors and friends.

Lately it has become a frequent salute to first responders, servicemen and women and veterans to say “thank you for your service.”

Keep that in mind.

Fuel economy highlights one of several Acura ILX virtues Economy and roominess help define Acura’s 2014 ILX. During a week of test driving, the 2,959-pound compact sedan averaged 32 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving.

On a 300-mile stretch of interstate, the four-door, five-passenger, front-wheel-drive, entry-luxury car averaged 33.7 mpg.

Factors contributing to mpg include weather, driving habits, weight of cargo and occupants, and road conditions.

One person was aboard during the 33.7 mpg stretch of testing. Driving habits were conservative 80 pounds of luggage were aboard; and the

interstate was in excellent condition.

Seating and cargo room always are critical in a compact (small) sedan. The ILX has 12.3 cubic feet of storage space in the lighted and carpeted trunk.

The lid opening is narrow, so bulkier items will be difficult to fit inside, but the usual grocery bags, suitcases and smaller packages fit in nicely. A compact spare is stored under the floor.

Front seat legroom is magnanimous and easily can accommodate taller drivers

and front-seat passengers. Officially, leg room measures 42.3 inches, which is two inches shy from that of a full-size sedan.

In the rear, legroom is confining and officially measures 34 inches. This compares favorably with competitors in the compact segment of the sedan market.

ILX prices range from $26,900 for a base sedan to $34,600 for a hybrid with the technology package.

That package, which can be added to non-hybrid models, includes all that is in the premium package, as well as

a navigation system, voice commands and 10 speakers, instead of seven, for the sound system.

Standard on all ILX models in 2014 are 17-inch wheels, leather trim and a heated power driver’s seat. In past years they were trim level upgrades.

Other normal standard fare includes power express windows, power front seats, power and heated exterior mirrors and power door locks, Bluetooth, keyless entry, pushbutton ignition, USB and iPod integration.

Acura ILX’s good road balance gives cabin quiet, comfortable feel • ACURA Continued from page 27 The three powertrains are 2-liter (150 horsepower), 2.4-liter (201 horsepower) and 1.5-liter (hybrid 111 horsepower with 17 kilowatt electric motor) all-aluminum engines mated to either a five-speed shiftable automatic, six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (hybrid only).

The tested ILX had the 2-liter engine with the automatic transmission. Its price was increased from $26,900 to $29,200 as it came with the premium option package.

That package has multiple goodies in it, and among them are xenon headlamps, fog lights in front, satellite SiriusXM radio, automatic dimming rearview mirror, seven instead of six sound system speakers, a 360-watt amplifier, radio data system, compact disc player, Pandora Internet radio interface, text messaging and rearview

camera.

Other sound system components include Bluetooth, auxiliary jack connectivity and a USB port.

This sound system is extremely sensible as it includes dials for sound and tuning.

New luxury vehicles are tending toward touch controls on a display screen.

Acura has a five-inch display screen for the ILX but lets owners control sound and climate settings with dials. Instead of a finger punching a screen and hoping for recognition, a forefinger and thumb turn a dial to and fro.

The display screen is centered high on the dashboard, which means sight lines are good. Based on the Honda Civic, the Acura ILX has that car’s sensible interior layout. Acura is Honda’s luxury division.

During the test week with two or three persons aboard, the ILX maintained a nice balance on the road.

In sharp cornering there

was no uncomfortable sway or pitching. The independent suspension system relies on struts in front, multilinks in the rear and stabilizer bars.

Brakes are discs, 11.8inch ventilated in front and 11.1-inch solid in the rear, contributing to a stopping distance of 120 feet from a speed of 60 miles per hour.

The cabin offers a quiet, comfortable ride. Engine and road noise is minimal.

Unofficially, the 2-liter test sedan accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in slightly less than eight seconds. It is not a torque demon, but the ILX engine responds immediately, evenly and quietly to sudden accelerations.

Ground clearance is 6.2 inches, which is above the norm of 5.5 for sedans in this compact class. This bodes well for winter driving conditions. It is better to drive above light snowfalls rather than through them.

The tested ILX, like the other trim levels, includes safety features, such as

airbags (front, front sides, overhead two rows), a fourwheel antilock braking system, stability control, brake assist, electronic brake distribution and headrests, as well as seatbelts for five, a tire pressure monitoring system and child-seat anchors and tethers.

Warranty coverage is four years or 50,000 miles with

24-hour roadside assistance, and six years or 70,000 miles on the powertrain.

Acura’s ILX competition not only comes from the Audi A3, Lexus CT 200h, and BMW 1 series but also from the Buick Verano. Other competitors are larger midsize sedans in the ILX price range offered by domestic and foreign automakers.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

31

– United Feature Syndicate

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Make wise choices in the year ahead.

Use your talents and skills to the fullest. You have much to gain if you are persistent. The things you learn through others will give you enough courage and confidence to follow your dreams.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You’ll have an idea for a cultural or philosophical change while traveling or dealing with people from different backgrounds. Share your thoughts with others, and the insight you get will alter your future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – It’s a good time to make personal changes, but don’t try to get others to follow suit. Leave well enough alone when dealing with friends or family. Interfering in other people’s lives will backfire.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Put on a happy face, and you’ll charm even your most difficult opponent. Your knowledge and innovative approach to matters will capture attention in powerful quarters.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Keep your goals in view. The less you discuss your plans, the easier it will be to avoid interference. Your perspective on things is sound, and you should trust it. A change in the way you feel about someone is likely.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll be tempted to use unusual tactics to get what you want, but you need to be sure of things before you do so. Your intuition will help you figure out what to do and who to trust. A financial dispute will be settled in your favor.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Listen carefully to what others are saying and observe the way people react to you. Don’t make abrupt changes that could cause an emotional situation to spin out of control.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Contribute to a group or organization that can help further your position. Networking and sharing information will lead to a collaborative relationship with someone special.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You should pursue your personal needs without forcing your will on others. Keeping the peace will allow you the freedom to reach your goals. Take care of a debt that may hamper your success.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Relationships will play a major role in the near future. Nurture the connections that you feel have the most to offer.

It’s time to weed out those who hold you back.

Romance is highlighted.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Keep a watchful eye on the people most likely to take advantage of you.

Problems at home will require you to make a much-needed change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Show everyone how much fun you can have. Participate in activities that will help you form closer bonds. Social plans that focus on exploring new interests should be put in motion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Do what’s expected of you and keep moving. Making a fuss or letting your emotions affect your productivity will be your downfall. Adjust to whatever situation you face with good-natured grace.

‘Motel Life’ shows incredible bond between two brothers

By STEPHANIE MERRY The Washington Post Alan and Gabe Polsky are brothers, which may explain why “The Motel Life,” their first foray into directing, is such an affecting piece of filmmaking. The movie, based on the novel by Willy Vlautin, delves into the relationship of another set of brothers as they throw up a united front against an assault of bad luck.

Jerry Lee (Stephen Dorff) and Frank (Emile Hirsch) haven’t had it easy. Their father left when they were young and their mom died when they were teenagers. Not long after, Jerry Lee lost a leg while trying to jump on a moving train.

But at least the two have always had each other. In a flashback, we see the pair’s mom, as her health declines, telling her boys the authorities might try to split them up, and she orders them not to let that happen.

All these years later, it’s clear there was never any danger of that.

The two are inseparable and completely devoted to one another, even when Jerry Lee makes a string of horrible decisions.

One night, he kills a boy while driving, but rather than call the cops, he drops the body off near a hospital then sets fire to his car. Much of the movie deals with whether the men should stay put in Reno or flee to another town.

The idea of escape is also the theme of a subplot about Frank’s incredible storytelling abilities.

Growing up, he would usher Jerry Lee and himself into another world where they had heroic escapades and romantic dalliances.

Frank still tends to spin a good yarn, and when he does, the movie breaks into dazzling black-and-white animation by Mike Smith.

Hirsch and Dorff do a tremendous job playing the alcoholic caretaker and the hapless ne’er-do-well, respectively.

Dorff looks the part of the gaunt

Polsky Films photo

Stephen Dorff (left) and Emile Hirsch star in the film “The Motel Life.” and prematurely aged Jerry Lee, and he captures his character’s slow unraveling. Frank isn’t one to talk about his feelings, so when Hirsch is shown driving around aimlessly with an expressionless face and a single tear rolling down his cheek, the result is heartbreaking.

Yet, for all its melancholy and grey, snowy landscape, “The Motel Life” never feels totally hopeless, thanks in large part to colorful ancillary characters (not to mention occasional trips into Frank’s mind).

Dakota Fanning shows up in a bittersweet subplot as Frank’s former love interest, and Noah Harpster plays one of the brothers’ unhinged buddies with cautionary tales about a

recent trip to “the loony bin.”

Meanwhile, Kris Kristoffersen has a memorable bit role as a father figure who offers sage, if crude, advice.

These characters make the film feel more approachable, as does Jerry Lee and Frank’s relationship. Sure, they’ve experienced more bleak episodes than many people, but this isn’t just a tale of woe. It’s about the incredible bond of two siblings, who can’t help but want to make things right.

• “The Motel Life” received three out of four stars. The film is rated R and contains nudity, sexual situations, brief violent images and drug references. It runs 85 minutes.

Food-allergy sufferer raises awareness Jealousy is a big deal Dear Abby: I am a 25-year-old woman with a food allergy. Last year I was a guest at a Thanksgiving dinner where the host insisted I could eat the food “since there was just a little in there.”

I understand that making separate food is difficult, but all I ask is that people let me know if a dish contains an ingredient that will make me sick. At best, an allergic reaction is uncomfortable. At worst, it can be life-threatening.

Would you please print a message about allergy awareness before the holidays? – Not Picky, Really Allergic In Illinois Dear Really Allergic: I’m glad to raise awareness because every year there is at least one story in the media about some poor individual winding up in an emergency room or dying because of an allergic reaction. Exposure to even a TRACE of a substance that an individual is allergic to is dangerous because “just a little” CAN hurt you.

The symptoms of a potentially fatal allergic reaction – which have appeared in this column

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips before – are a tingling sensation, itching or metallic taste in the mouth followed by hives, a sensation of warmth, asthma symptoms, swelling of the mouth and throat area, difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, a drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness. Someone experiencing these symptoms should be treated at the nearest emergency room or hospital.

This information was provided

by Food Allergy Research and Education, an organization whose mission is to raise public awareness about food allergies, provide education and advance research.

Check it out at www.foodallergy. org.

Dear Abby: Last week I attended two events for my grandchildren. One was a school concert, the other a dance recital. Both times, during the performance

I saw electronic devices turned on throughout the audience. It seemed that parents were encouraging children to play video games, watch movies or surf the Internet instead of pay attention to the show. It drove me crazy.

What are these parents teaching their children? Not only are they missing out on the experience, but they are also being taught terrible manners. I held my tongue, but it was a struggle. Am I wrong? – Holding My Tongue Dear Holding: No, you’re 100 percent right. Before many performances, the director or principal will request that electronic devices be turned off. That’s what should have been done at the concert and recital you attended.

Parents who allow or encourage their children to behave this way aren’t doing their job, which is to teach them to be respectful of the performers and the effort that was put into the show.

Unchecked tooth decay leads to cavities Dear Doctor K: What is tooth decay? Is it the same as a cavity?

Dear Reader: Tooth decay is not the same as a cavity – but tooth decay can lead to the formation of a cavity.

Tooth decay (also known as dental caries) originates with plaque, the sticky, bacteria-laden film that collects on your teeth between brushings. In recent years, we’ve learned that many types of bacteria produce filmy substances that act like a protective foam. Millions of bacteria live together inside the foam bubble they collectively have made.

It’s their house, and helps them keep out threatening things.

Protected from destruction by the film, the bacteria in plaque produce acid that gradually destroys the surface of the teeth.

When decay creates a hole in the enamel – the hard outside layer of your tooth – this is a cavity.

Here’s a quick look at how tooth decay progresses to cavity formation. (I’ve put an illustration of this process on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

1. Cavity-causing bacteria accumulate on the teeth.

2. These bacteria produce acid that dissolves the enamel surface of the teeth in a process called demineralization.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Ordinarily, the body has time to remineralize, or replenish the enamel. But when enough bacteria accumulate, acid dissolves enamel faster than the body can rebuild it. Tiny pits mar the surface of the tooth.

3. First-stage decay, the earliest stage of decay, appears as a white or brown area on a tooth.

This “white spot” is visible only to your dentist.

4. Unchecked, the acid eventually penetrates the enamel and a cavity forms.

If decay is caught early enough – while it’s still an area of demineralization, or a “white spot” – the tooth may be able to repair itself. Your dentist may be able to stop the decay to give your body a chance to remineralize and repair the tooth: • Fluoride applied to the teeth in the form of a gel or varnish can boost remineralization.

• Applying a gel or varnish containing a powerful antiseptic can reduce the level of cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth, slowing demineraliza-

tion.

• Your dentist may apply a liquid plastic sealant to create a physical barrier against bacteria. Sealants can help even after there is evidence of decay.

Once a cavity has formed, the emphasis shifts from prevention to restoration. The tooth cannot at this point repair itself; your dentist must correct the damage.

Repair usually means cleaning out the area and filling the cavity.

We live in a world full of microbes. Sometimes they ignore us, and sometimes they prey on us. We have 13 trillion cells in our body, and we have 10 times 13 trillion bacteria living inside and on us all the time. Some of them actually help us – such as gut bacteria that make vitamins that we need. Sometimes they lie waiting for our defenses to falter and then attack. It’s like that with tooth decay and cavities.

It’s best for us to keep a step or two ahead of them, through brushing and flossing and regular checkups.

Dr. Wallace: I care a lot for a guy. He has many desirable qualities, but he also has one very undesirable trait.

He is an insecure individual and is very jealous.

If I even look at another guy, he gets upset. He goes berserk if I should talk to another guy.

Whenever we meet, he wants to know everything I’ve done when he wasn’t with me.

We have a lot of time invested in each other and have discussed the possibility of getting married some day.

Is jealousy that big of a deal, or is it something that, if not made a big deal, will vanish in time? – Nameless, Sidney, Ohio.

Dear Nameless: Jealousy is, indeed, a big deal. It would be very difficult for a marriage to succeed when one of the partners is uncontrollably jealous – to the point where he needs professional counseling to overcome it.

His jealousy could be put in that category.

If he doesn’t think that he has an emotional problem – or even if he admits to a problem, but dismisses it as minor and not requiring the aid of a counselor – dump him immediately.

If he does agree to counseling, don’t even think about marrying him unless you are 100 percent positive that the professional counseling he receives will allow him to get his emotions under control.

Believe me, the sort of jealousy this guy has exhibited won’t go away on its own.

Indeed, it will only get worse.

And if you’re mar-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace ried, you’re stuck with it. Your leverage to insist that he change will be lost.

Dr. Wallace: I’ve been eating properly and working out every day and I’m in great physical shape. I’m 5-feet-6 and weigh 117 pounds.

I plan on maintaining this weight for my entire senior year.

I want to weigh 117 when I enter college in September 2014.

I count calories and consume 2,100 calories daily.

Every night, before going to bed, I eat an apple, which is included in my calorie count.

My brother keeps telling me it’s a big mistake to eat just before going to bed because I’ll gain the weight of the item I eat.

He says that the body can’t work off the calories while sleeping. Is this true? – Nameless, Little Rock, Ark. Dear Nameless: Congratulations for being in perfect physical condition! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to reach that goal.

Your brother is pulling your leg!

It is better to eat earlier because the body can work it off, but in the case of an 80-calorie apple – eat it whenever you choose.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Friday, November 8, 2013

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Yesterday, we saw that if the opener bids one of a suit, the next player makes a takeout double, and the responder bids a lower-ranking suit at the two-level, this shows a weak hand. So, what does it mean if the responder redoubles first, then bids a new suit on the second round?

Right – logically, it must be forcing. The responder has promised at least 10 high-card points and the hunt is on for the right contract for the opening side.

In today’s deal, after responder’s three-club rebid, South might continue with a three-diamond bid. Then North would presumably cue-bid three hearts to ask his partner to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. Here, of course, South would be happy to oblige. And, as in the given sequence, South just plunges straight into our favorite contract when we have game values but no major-suit fit. (Note that five clubs fails, but five diamonds makes.)

West leads the heart king.

What should South do?

Unless the heart suit is blocked, if declarer loses a trick before he has taken nine, he rates to concede at least that lost trick and four hearts. So, South should concentrate on getting seven diamond winners.

After taking the first (or second) heart trick, South cashes the diamond ace. Then, when West discards, declarer must be careful to unblock dummy’s 10.

Next, South leads a spade to the board, plays the diamond five to his nine, runs that suit, and cruises home with an overtrick.

Always watch the spot-cards closely to see if a suit blockage is threatened.
