Sunday snowstorms and Monday assistance Like many people I know, I had plans last Sunday to watch the big football game with family and friends.

And, like many people I know, I wound up staying home instead because it just seemed safer than tackling the snowy roads.

So, go figure when – Monday morning – I made an effort to zoom out of my mostly shoveled driveway to get over the huge snow-plow pile that had accumulated at its end, only to wind up getting stuck anyway.

With no one in sight anywhere.

Now, I know I would have gotten out eventually. It just would’ve taken a lot of additional shoveling and time.

But I didn’t have to wait that long. After trying the old go-forward-go-backward trick a few times, I caught the ear of a young tradesman working in the new home next door to mine.

He came over and helped push my car out of the snow.

Of course, I was very thankful.

It’s the type of story you hear about pretty often during winter. Any Kane County Chronicle readers experience something similar this past weekend?

Did you get that needed push when your car was stuck?

Was your driveway shoveled or car brushed off by some friendly neighbor?

It had been so long since I’d needed such assistance.

The niceness of the young man stayed with me long enough that I bought him a small gift card to say thanks.

When I gave it to him Wednesday morning, he said

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Gresey exactly what such people often say: “I just like helping people.”

••• Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to attend the presentation by Kane County Judges Clint Hull and Susan Clancy Boles at Haines Middle School in St. Charles that reporter Ashley Sloboda wrote about for Thursday’s paper.

The topic of the presentation was using technology (such as smartphones, tablets and social media) in a responsible manner (by not participating in cyberbullying, sexting, etc.).

Judge Hull had invited Ashley and me to the presentation, noting he and Judge Boles wanted to be proactive in talking to younger students about the lifelong problems that misuse of technology can bring.

During the program, the judges also spoke about their own experiences as parents.

“We’re here for the best interest of the kids,” Boles said.

After the presentation, I was curious to find out what some of the eighth-grade students at Haines thought of the program.

I spoke with twins Annie and Katy Tate. I asked them to be honest – but professional – when answering the questions I asked, recognizing that not every single eighth-grader out there

might be wild about adults telling them how to use their phone or behave on social media.

“It’s definitely a good time to talk about it,” Annie said when I asked her about observing the presentation at her age. She commented how she and her sister would soon be entering high school, where there could be parties that involve drinking and other bad decision-making.

The sisters also noted how their dad restricts them from social media use.

“My dad is so right,” Katy said. “All we’re allowed to do is text.”

“And the thing is, we still have a lot of friends,” Annie finished. “We just don’t have Instagram or Snapchat.”

Both Judges Hull and Boles said parents need to

Batavia resident Natalie Anderson, 32, was at her business, Beardsgaard Barbers in Batavia, when she answered 10 questions from the Kane County Chronicle’s Al Lagattolla.

Where did you grow up? Chicago and Palatine Who would play you in the movie of your life? Maybe a little gender bent, Cillian Murphy.

What was your first job? Psychiatric medical transcription. When I was 9, my mom had her own business and started me off.

What made you decide to do work at a barber shop? I went to school to do hair when I was up in Montreal for a few years. I always liked cutting my own hair, and other

people’s hair. … I ended up getting into barbering. As soon as someone gave me a straight razor, I was pretty much done for.

Do you have any words of wisdom?

I will impart my dad’s words of wisdom, which will be especially appropriate here: There are razor blades everywhere. It was one of his life themes.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A helicopter. Either

OUT&ABOUT

that, or an artist. I went to art school and really enjoyed the sculptural qualities of things. It seems this is the right medium.

I’m much better at art projects than a blank page of creative artwork.

Do you have a favorite charity?

Human rights campaign or anything you can research well enough to make sure the money is actually going toward the charity.

What is your favorite local restaurant? We went to Nobel House recently, which was just about the best thing ever.

Can I ask about your tattoos? That is a beloved dead pet, written in Circular Gallifreyan language from the time lords from “Dr. Who.” What is an interesting factoid about yourself? I’m a sharpshooter. Apparently, I’m really good with an M16.

Raccoons, opossums and skunks looking for love GOOD NATURED Pam Erickson Otto Well, it’s February, the month of love. The greeting card and candy companies know it. The jewelry stores know it. And so, too, do the raccoons, opossums and skunks.

They may not be out buying trifles and baubles, or making reservations at a romantic restaurant, but many of our local mammals soon will be finding themselves in the throes of an annual, (or semi-annual, since some will mate again in summer) hormonal surge.

What that means for them is that it’s time to rouse from winter torpor and find a mate.

For us, it means it’s a great time to head out and search – not for a mate (although I suppose that’s optional) – but instead for the signs of these three prolific local species.

An added plus this year is the predicted higher temperatures this weekend. Above-freezing temperatures almost certainly will have these animals up and on the move. Here’s what to look for:

Habits and Habitat Raccoons, opossums and skunks all are denizens of both woodlands and suburbia. Of the three, raccoons are the best climbers and, despite their chunky build, quite agile too.

(Just the other night I, and one very excited canine companion, watched one scamper along the top of a neighbor’s chain-link fence.) These facts are important because raccoons will choose tree cavities, if they can find them, as den sites, but in our neighborhoods have found attics and garage lofts make suitable substitutes.

Opossums can and do climb, and may make their homes in a tree cavities. But they are just as likely to adopt an unused burrow – or the space under a shed or deck. They’re also fairly adept at making their way into basements and crawlspaces. (Note: Despite what you may have seen in

Photo provided

This photo of a raccoon track, submitted by a Good Natured reader, shows the imprint of the five digits on the animal’s left front paw. It also indicates two other things: That tracks will spread as snow melts and refreezes, causing them to appear larger than they were originally; and that, despite this phenomenon, the Tri-Cities are home to some very large raccoons. cartoons and kids’ books, opossums do not hang by their tails. It’s true, their tails are prehensile, or capable of grabbing, but they are incapable of supporting the weight of a full-grown opossum. The tails do aid in climbing though, and can be used to encircle leaves and other nest material.)

Skunks, by contrast, are strict ground dwellers. Long claws on their front feet mean they are well equipped for excavating burrows, either in wooded settings or under front steps, back steps, porches, decks or sheds.

All three animals are omnivores, meaning they eat plant and animal material. They’re great scavengers, too, and, I swear, know neighborhood trash pickup schedules just as well as human residents do.

All three also are nocturnal, so the best time to look for their track is in the morning, after they’re all back “in bed.”

This habit also is handy to keep in mind if you’re trying to figure out whether, or which, one is residing in or near your house. Sprinkle flour around the suspected area of entry,

then check the next morning for tracks or other signs of activity.

Tracks Raccoon tracks are likely the most common tracks you’ll see, especially if your tracking adventures take you near a picnic shelter. Front paw prints, to me, look like miniature human hands, with five digits prominently displayed. Hind prints, which also have five digits, are longer, and tend to show the more of the foot pad.

Raccoons lumber as they walk; that is, they move both limbs on one side at the same time – they don’t alternate the way dogs and cats (and people) do.

Therefore, their tracks display a side-by-side quality: The front pawprint from one side of the body will be adjacent to the rear print from the opposite side.

Opossum tracks are fun for two reasons. The five digits of the front paws splay out in a shape that is remarkably star like. And the rear paws, which also have five digits, include an opposable thumb as the innermost digit on either side.

Sometimes, though, the front and hind prints will overlap, making the sign look as though it was left by a much larger animal. In my experience, the star-like quality still is somewhat apparent in the forward part of the track; also, if the snow’s not too deep, you also can usually make out the print of the opposable thumb.

Skunk tracks can be hard to figure out, especially if you’re dealing with less-than-optimal tracking conditions, like melting snow, compacted soil or other substrates. Even though their feet have five digits front and back, the toes are shorter, which makes it harder to distinguish each individually.

Front paws, to my eye, often leave prints that are rounded and cat like, but with five toes instead of the four that feline tracks display. If you can, look for little dots a short distance ahead of the front paw prints.

Those marks are imprints made by the skunk’s long claws.

Scat Because all three of these mammals are omnivores and

scavengers, scat composition varies widely with location and season. Animals that live near birdfeeders are going to display lots of seed hulls. When berries are ripe, look for dark, moist scat with intact berry seeds protruding.

During winter, when diets typically contain less moisture, raccoon scat tends to be tubular, with blunt ends – kind of like little cigars. They usually will leave this sign at the base of trees. But, for some reason, raccoons like to “go” up, off the ground, on fallen logs and low stone fences. They also will commonly create latrines – areas where scat literally piles up. A word of caution when investigating this sign: Raccoons, perhaps more than any other local mammal, carry all kinds of diseases and parasites.

All those things you vaccinate your pets against? Raccoons are vectors. All those worms you hope your pet doesn’t get?

Raccoons usually have them, and shed their eggs in their scat.

Opossum and skunk scat can be a little trickier. It will be smaller than raccoon and, in my experience, darker, with tapered ends. But, again, these characteristics will depend on diet, and diet will depend on what is most readily available.

Here’s just as good a time as any for an important reminder: If you or anyone you know puts dog or cat food outside, and you or anyone you know suspects a problem with unwanted wildlife, take that food away. Or, at the very least, put the food out for only a short period of time and monitor who’s eating it. The same reminder also can apply to birdfeeders.

If you’re finding signs from more than just birds, bring your feeders in at night (or seal them inside metal trashcans) do deter nocturnal diners.

Explosion at St. Charles company injures employee

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The man hospitalized after a Friday morning explosion in St. Charles has injuries that are not life-threatening, St. Charles Fire Chief Joe Schelstreet said.

The man, who works at Midwest Powder Coating Company, was waiting outside when units from the St. Charles Fire Department arrived at 10:31 a.m., Schelstreet said.

A small explosion had occurred inside the business, 3865 Swenson Ave., Schelstreet said, noting the employee self-evacuated. The man was flown by helicopter to Loyola University Hospital in Maywood, according to a news release from the fire department.

Another employee who was in the area of the explosion also was checked for injuries but did not require treatment or transport, Schelstreet said.

Firefighters reportedly found a small fire in a mixing vat in a mezzanine level of the building. The mixing operation was part of a powder coating process, according to the release.

The fire was extinguished in about 30 minutes, and no structural damage was reported to the building. No firefighters were reported injured.

Schelstreet said the cause of the fire remained under investigation Friday evening.

“This will take a little while to put together,” he said, noting the fire department wants to be certain of the cause before issuing a public state-

ment.

The release indicated the cause was not considered suspicious.

The loss was estimated at $25,000 to the machinery and contents, according to the release.

Andreas Gass, a spokesperson with the company, said there were about 50 employees in the building at the time of the explosion, and the evacuation went as planned.

Normal operations had resumed by mid-afternoon, he said.

The St. Charles Fire Department was assisted by units from Geneva, Batavia and West Chicago at the scene.

Units from Elburn provided coverage while St. Charles units were committed to the fire.

that spontaneous kindness.

It’s really crystallized, too, that family and friends are really the most important.

By KARA SILVA ksilva@shawmedia.com

Kara Silva: So, have you enjoyed your brief stay in the area so far?

Sarah Outen: Yeah. Very much so. It’s good to be off

Photo provided

English adventurer Sarah Outen, 29, has made a brief stop in Elgin during “London2London: Via the World,” a self-powered, round-theworld journey, using only a rowing boat, kayak and bicycle. the bike for a few days. It was certainly lovely biking on the back roads through Illinois.

Silva: You started your latest expedition – “London2London: Via the World”– in April 2011, and you’re more than halfway through your challenge, what keeps you going, have you ever thought about giving up along the way?

Outen: There has definitely been huge challenges on the way that have made me question, you know, is this what I want to be doing?

The journey is great. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet people and see places and inspire people, too. I do a lot of work connecting up with schools, and that’s really exciting. I always think that if you believe in what you’re doing, there’s no point in giving up. I still believe in the journey and keep trucking along.

Silva: Why do you do this?

What is it about travel and adventure that inspires you to do it?

Outen: The reason is, I love it. I love the challenge, the perspective, the way to be immersed in the wild when I’m out in these wilderness places. I love meeting people and finding out how they live. I just think it’s a great thing just to expand your experience and your understanding of the world and [its] people and different

ideas.

Silva: Do you think you’re going to have a difficult time readapting to “normal” life once you have to go back to the routine of things?

Outen: Well, who says you have to go back to the normal routine of it. I think that’s one thing that my expedition across the Indian Ocean did.

It really opened my mind to the idea of “well, why do I have to go and live in a box that somebody else told you is the way to do things.”

There [are] different ways of living, and it’s all about choices, I think. And deciding how you want your life to shape up.

I’ll never do a big expedition own my own like this again. But, also, what’s normal? It’s kind of whatever normal you want to create, really.

Silva: What has this journey taught you about yourself or the world?

Outen: There are so many different ideas in the world that who is one person to say that one is right or not.

I think it’s made me more open-minded about all sorts of things. It’s made me kind of calmer and more humble.

It’s really made me just want to be the best person that I can be for people and do as much good stuff for people as I can. So many people have helped me, it’s wonderful,

Silva: I read that a part of the reason why you did the solo rowing trip across the Indian Ocean in 2009 was because you had just lost your father.

Outen: That’s right. My father died very suddenly and unexpectedly. It really kind of rocked my world.

At his funeral, I said, “well, I’m going to row the Indian Ocean in his memory.”

Being such a personal time and personal motivation ... it just didn’t feel right to go with other people. That [rowing] journey just reflected my journey through grief, as well. It was so positive to have something positive to work toward.

The ups and downs of grieving for my father kind of mirrored the ups and downs of the ocean, really.

Silva: When this is all over, what do you plan to do next? Do you see yourself doing another journey – maybe not of this magnitude? I’m sure you’ll be a traveler your whole life, but what do you want to do with your life afterward?

Outen: When I get back, there will be stuff to tie up with the expedition, and I’m writing a book and making a [documentary], and giving talks and doing sponsor engagements things.

I’ve also got to get married. I got engaged in the middle of the ocean. I called up Lucy, who was my girlfriend at the time, and she said, “yes!” I will want to be with her.

I feel like I’ve been so supported by people growing up, who encouraged me to get outside and try new things.

I’ve realized a lot through this journey that that’s not universal, through no fault of people’s own, but its just the serendipity and lottery of life of who you get born to and where. Lucy and I’d really like to open a center to get kids outside. That’s the long-term goal.

It has taken one woman nearly four years to travel more than 20,000 miles around the world using only a bicycle, kayak and rowing boat.

Sarah Outen’s grueling journey, dubbed “London2London: Via the World,” has taken the 29-year-old British adventurer across Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Alaska and Canada in an attempt at looping the planet using only human power.

Raising money for various charitable organizations along the way, Outen hopes to end her monumental journey this year, after rowing from the U.S. across the North Atlantic Ocean to the U.K. for the final leg.

No stranger to intrepid traveling, Outen previously was hailed as the first woman to row solo across the Indian Ocean in 2009, and recently, during “London2London,” became the first woman to row solo across the North Pacific Ocean, from Japan to the Aleutian Islands (located off the coast of Alaska).

This week, Outen arrived to the Chicago suburbs by bicycle, ending the ride in a frigid Elgin for a brief reprieve from the road. With plans to continue the expedition “Monday or Tuesday,” Outen said she will head 14 miles south before cycling east toward Cape Cod, where she will, once again, take to the open seas. To follow Outen’s travels, visit www. sarahouten.com or follow @SarahOuten on Twitter.

Kane County Chronicle features editor Kara Silva got a chance to chat with Outen about the “London2London” expedition and why she’s making such a harrowing trip.

Sprinklers go off as experiment goes awry at Kaneland High School No injuries in chemistry classroom incident

By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – A chemistry demonstration went awry Friday in a classroom at Kaneland High School, causing sprinklers in the room to go off and putting a soft-lockdown situation into effect at the school.

Kaneland Principal Jill Maras said there were no injuries.

“We’re very fortunate,” Maras said. “The staff and the students were absolutely amazing.”

Maras said students were moved into safe classrooms

or into the cafeteria, adding “everybody was safe.” The incident affected classrooms in the level below the chemistry classroom, as the activation of the sprinklers caused water to leak.

Maras said some classrooms experienced water damage that will have to be cleaned up. But no damage was reported outside of the water damage.

District officials sent an email to parents explaining the situation. The note mentioned there was “a strong odor associated with the incident that required some courses to be moved.”

Maras said students never left the buildings. She said the soft lockdown was in effect to ensure student safety. The email noted “first responders checked the school for safety and cleared the area, then assured administration the building was safe.”

The email noted “after the situation had been contained, students were dismissed to their next classes, and meeting areas were relocated in order to clear the areas that were affected by water or the strong odor.”

It noted that arrangements were made to accommodate students and staff that had been affected by the situation.

It will include activities, from hands-on science exhibits to tours. There will be a series of performances by Jerry Zimmerman, known as “Mr. Freeze,” demonstrating the effects of liquid nitrogen, and about a dozen scientists will be ready to

answer questions in the exhibit area on the 15th floor of Wilson Hall. There will be two special tours: one to see the 50-footwide Muon g-2 electromagnet that was transported from New York in 2013, and one to visit the DZero detector and the Tevatron ring. DZero is one of the two main experiments that ran on the Tevatron for two decades. It was decommissioned in 2012, but it still stands as an example of the complex technology of particle detectors.

“Just do it...”

I know what you’re thinking. Because, I thought it myself. I figured I could just put off this whole retirement thing for another year or maybe two. Then it hit me. All the things I will need to do to prepare for the big Kay Johnson decision and move – like sorting, packing and selling a home; I’ll still have to do. Only when that time comes, I’ll be another year or two older. Let’s face it, we’re not getting any younger. I looked at other places around Elburn but none of them felt like home. Then I came out to Oak Crest. I toured the grounds, visited with the staff, compared prices and amenities and just knew. Oak Crest was more than just a place to retire, it would be my home. The day I moved in I said, “I wouldn’t have wanted to wait even one more day.” I am so glad that I didn’t put off until tomorrow, what I could do today.

GENEVA – The Kane County morgue’s temporary closure is about to end.

The morgue, which closed in June after mold was found there, is set to reopen Tuesday, Coroner Rob Russell announced Friday.

“We have had freezer breakdowns, electrical issues, security issues, heating and cooling issues, as well as many other smaller equipment breakdowns,” Russell said in a statement.

“The detection of mold was the apex of this dysfunction-

al facility. Not knowing what kind of mold it was, I had to protect my employees.”

The mold later was found to be nontoxic.

During the morgue’s eight-month closure, autopsy and body storage operations were outsourced to the DuPage County Coroner’s Office in Wheaton. That measure contributed to the office going over budget last year. Officials have said that about $35,000 of the $123,464 overage was from the DuPage fees.

The morgue also underwent renovations and had a new freezer and cooler combination installed.

An open house will be at the renovated facility Tuesday after the 9:45 a.m. Kane County Board meeting until 11:30 a.m., according to a news release. The coroner’s office is in Building E of the Kane County Government Center at 719 S. Batavia Ave. in Geneva.

Russell, who has advocated for a new facility, said the long-term plans for his office cannot be forgotten. The improvements addressed functionality, not capacity, he said.

“This is not a permanent fix,” he said. “It didn’t grow any bigger. … I am not going to stack bodies here.”

St. Charles aldermen to review plan for cities 3rd Dunkin’ Donuts store

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A St. Charles City Council committee on Monday will review an updated proposal for a Dunkin’ Donuts on the city’s east side.

The Planning and Development Committee will review Kolbrook Design’s application for a drive-thru facility for Dunkin’ Donuts in the Tin Cup Pass shopping center at 1566 E. Main St. in St. Charles.

The doughnut store would occupy the currently vacant space on the west end of the eastern Tin Cup Pass building, according to the city’s executive summary of the drive-thru request. The drive-thru window would face west on the end

of the building, and customers would enter a drive-thru lane that would start on the north side of the building.

The Plan Commission on Jan. 20 held a public hearing for the special use drive-thru request. Commission members that night voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the project to the Planning and Development Committee. Commission members James Holderfield and Tom Schuetz were absent during the vote. If approved, the proposed Dunkin’ Donuts would be the city’s third location of the franchise and the first on the east side. The other St. Charles Dunkin’ Donuts locations are at 1711 W. Main St. and 2057 Lincoln Highway, which opened in September.

Karim Khoja and Tom Thiem are the franchisee partners for the Lincoln Highway location and the proposed eastside location. Khoja told the Plan Commission in 2014 that Tin Cup Pass was one of the sites being considered for a Dunkin’ Donuts location.

An earlier plan to have the east-side Dunkin’ Donuts location at the former site of a Qdoba restaurant – 2701 E. Main St. – drew criticism in May from St. Charles resident Carol Bayer and Dennis Alf, owner of the Toyota dealership next door.

The Planning and Development Committee’s meeting begins at 7 p.m. Monday in the City Council Chambers at the St. Charles Municipal Building, 2 E. Main St., St. Charles.

OUR VIEW

Elburn residents need to speak up on police department issues Two big questions have hit the community of Elburn.

1. Should the village keep its police department or instead go with coverage from the Kane County Sheriff’s Office?

2. Are residents willing to pay more in taxes to keep the current police department in operation?

As the saying goes, you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. But does that truly apply in this case?

Dozens of residents attended the Elburn Village Board

meeting Monday, and many spoke in favor of keeping the police department.

At issue is the ability to continue funding police pensions, Elburn officials have said. Village President Dave Anderson noted village services have taken a hit because of the cost of the town’s police pensions.

With the Elburn Station housing development looming on the horizon – a development that has the potential to double the population of the village in 20 years – and

public safety typically being of high concern to community members, the decision whether to disband the police department should not be made lightly.

But much research still needs to be done, a fact Anderson pointed out at the meeting Monday.

Voters in Elburn defeated a referendum proposal in 2012 to create a new property tax levy that would have been used to fund police pensions.

Would voters feel differently now? And how will

they feel in 2016, which is the soonest a referendum could be put to residents during a regularly scheduled election?

From a financial perspective, would Elburn actually save money by switching police service to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office?

And does it have to be one or the other? Could different services or positions in Elburn be cut to alleviate the burden on the police pension fund?

The Elburn Police Department employs seven full-tim-

ers and eight part-timers.

Ten years ago, it employed nine full-timers and 14 part-timers.

How many officers will work for the department in the future? Elburn residents need to get informed and involved, and communicate their views to elected officials.

It would seem those who attended the meeting Monday do care about the future of Elburn.

It’s time for additional residents to get engaged.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR SEND US A CHECK To the Editor: What’s wrong with government today? This is what’s wrong with government today: Batavia receives a windfall of $672,000 and the first and apparently only thing our aldermen can think of is how fast to spend the money.

Really?

Here’s a message for all the aldermen, commissioners, city councilmen and legislators at all levels: Just because you have it doesn’t mean you have to spend it.

Put it into the general fund to delay the inevitable next tax increase by a few months. Invest it. Or just give it back to the people whose money it actually is – the taxpayers.

That $672,000 amounts to just about $25 a resident of Batavia – $100 for a family of four.

Send us a check. It will arrive right before the election and make us feel very warm and fuzzy about how our elected (for now) representatives care for our money.

Get some pointers

but it is the bad leadership that wants to run it into the ground.

This is why we need term limits.

How to spend $672,000? One idea is improvements to the government center. We need new thrones to sit on. We would look so good on Batavia TV. How about an entry monument? I hope it looks like Bill. The 5th Ward Alderman had the best idea – study the issue more.

Here is my idea – pay down some bonds, lower my taxes.

But no, the second bridge is coming soon, on the Mayor Schielke highway.

Hey, St. Charles, maybe when you get one of these massive, half-inch snows, you can call Geneva and get some pointers. The windfall They clearly kicked your butts This city of Batavia has again, since you guys can’t received a windfall of $672,000 figure out how to do the streets. by selling the northeast corner of Kirk and Wilson to Speedway.

Grocery store The Batavia City Council is on Randall Road starting to debate what to do I agree with the callers from with this money, with many of last week’s Sound Off that we [the ideas] failed projects from need a grocery store in the the past. There is no reason to center off Randall Road. The spend money on studies for a vacated Dominick’s store is a second bridge for the Fox River perfect spot. It would serve the corridor, and the city already whole central area of Geneva has a crown on River Street, there on Randall Road. so there is no reason for an entry monument. Do not give Hmm… what to do the money to any agencies or Batavia aldermen discuss how new businesses downtown. The to spend $672,000. I have to council will have to do what no say, Batavia is a nice little town, other government agency has

ever done – save the money. ... This windfall of money came from the sale of a property, and the city should be prepared to spend that on the development of the corner and nothing else until the first gallon of gas is pumped.

Is it worth it?

A college education does not make a person smart in common-sense ways. Why would teachers jeopardize their education and lose their license to teach over sex? I am disgusted at the numbers coming out.

Is it worth it?

It certainly is rude Just wondering if there are any ordinances about snow blowing early in the morning. We have a neighbor who thinks it’s perfectly fine to be snow blowing at 5 or 5:30 a.m., prior to going to work – not just a path to get out, but the entire driveway and entire sidewalk. It’s wrapping up by 6 a.m. I don’t know if it’s anything official, but it certainly is rude.

money instead of putting their backs into getting the problem solved. Everybody wants you to register for this and registered for that, and a license of this and a license for that, instead of getting the job done. If you had 50 people volunteer to do something, and don’t spend the time raising money, just spend the time doing the job, I think we’d find we don’t need all this money to do all this stuff. We just need people to do it. Let’s stop doing all this charitable work and then start doing the job, and then you don’t need the money. Then our taxes go down and our costs go down, and we have a better society all around.

Mind your own business, government

If you really want to see something get screwed up, get some government involved in it. The FCC wants to make the Internet a utility, which would make it completely and totally unaffordable for everybody. They already have their nose in our business everywhere else. The hackers have managed to hack into the Pam Otto fan Department of Defense. And Thank you, Pam Otto. Your now we want to give the govcolumn every Saturday really ernment the right to make this makes the week better. Thank a utility? I think not.

The only proven it can’t protect us, with thing is that Sound Off doesn’t this latest hack [of] Anthem, care about what the real people which is a hack on health care are saying here. We talk about records. ... If the Department of tuition for the school and school Defense can’t keep its Internet fees, but that stuff never shows and its computers from being up, when we say why don’t we hacked, how ... is making it a do away with school fees and utility going to help the citizens? think about what it’s costing It’s only going to hurt us. I urge to put their kids in K-12 schools all of you, call your senators, call instead of worrying about how your congressmen, call everywe get free tuition for college body and tell them absolutely no kids.

A recent caller said this: “The top 1 percent now owns [about] 49 percent of the world. Is it time to start sharpening the pitchforks?” I’ve never heard that jealousy was any better a vice than is greed. A far better solution is to get oneself educated (and/or BETTER educated), get out there in the workforce and apply that education and training to improve one’s situation in life, even to the point of joining that 1 percent. And you know something? If enough people did that, it would no longer BE just 1 percent. But no, it’s easier to sit on one’s duff, complain and sharpen pitchforks. Well, I just hope those folks who choose that path even know which end of the pitchfork to hold, much less sharpen.

Insurance carrier settles Kiva claim

LOCAL BRIEFS

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – The insurance carrier for Campton Hills agreed to pay $500,000 to Kiva Recovery in a settlement agreement, records show. Originally, $4 million had been sought.

Kiva threatened to sue the village, alleging it violated the Federal Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act when officials denied a petition to annex the former Glenwood School site for an alcohol and drug treatment center in 2013.

According to a memo from village attorney William Braithwaite, the lawsuit threat from Kiva was referred to the village’s insurance carrier, whose attorneys worked with Braithwaite to negotiate a settlement.

“A municipality may not be

required to annex property and is not liable for refusing to annex,” Braithwaite’s memo states.

“The Kiva plaintiffs took the position … that the village had an affirmative obligation to make accommodations for the handicapped, which drug and alcohol treatment patients are considered as.”

Braithwaite’s memo states that in negotiations with Kiva attorneys, they found no case law to support a requirement for a municipality to annex property based on disability. This resulted in the reduced claim and no lawsuit, according to the memo.

The $500,000 payment avoids a lawsuit that would have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars more, according to the memo.

The three-page agreement also states that each side is responsible for its own costs and attorneys’ fees.

Eagles turn tables on Cadets

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Saturday, February 7, 2015

By DEREK WOLFF editorial@kcchronicle.com AURORA – Hunter Weber’s absence was strongly felt on Friday night as the Marmion boys basketball team lost its first Suburban Christian Conference game of the season on the road against Aurora Christian and its raucous crowd.

The Cadets (11-11, 5-1 SCC) went just four of 21 from 3-point land in the 64-48 loss as the Eagles (16-5, 4-2) got revenge for Marmion’s 59-56 win over Aurora Christian on Jan. 12.

Weber made four 3-pointers, including three late in the contest, the last time around but his absence allowed the Eagles to switch up their defense and hold the Cadets to 20 points in the first half.

“It hurt them that Weber was out,” Eagles coach Pat McNamara said. “It was kind of a break for us; we were able to play zone knowing they had one less shooter out there.”

Forcing bad looks allowed the Eagles to win the rebounding battle early on, when senior forward Juwan Sisco recorded six of his eight rebounds in the first half, helping Aurora Christian to a 33-20 halftime lead.

“They were killing us on the offensive boards the first three minutes and then we settled down with our zone,” McNamara said. “[Sisco] had six rebounds and we were trying to win the battle. They were big; their big guys can rebound a little bit and [Jordan] Glasgow was a monster on the boards.”

Sisco, who made his second start of the season and finished with seven points to go along with his eight boards, said the change on defense allowed them to neutralize Marmion’s shooters.

“We usually do man-toman defense but this time we did a zone,” Sisco said. “One of our keys was trying to shut down [senior forward Jacob Esp] as much as we could so we just did that and it seemed to flow for us.”

The Eagles came out firing

Junior forward R.D. Lutze had 11 of his 15 points for the Eagles in the second half and said the team had been looking forward to this game all season.

The rivalry was exacerbated after the Eagles blew a 13-point lead heading into the fourth quarter the last time around.

“That was a game we had

circled on our schedule since the beginning of the season,” Lutze said. “We have a rivalry with that school so that’s just a great win for us. It’s always nice when you’re shooting well, especially against a team like that.”

Lutze matched Sisco with eight boards and had two steals, while freshman guard Jake Wolf finished with 10 points, five rebounds and six assists for the Eagles.

The Cadets wasted a solid effort from Jordan Glasgow,

who led the team with 19 points and three steals.

The inability to hit from downtown was the biggest factor, with the Cadets needing to hit from long range after going down 10-4 early in the first quarter.

“That was huge,” said Cadets coach Joe Currie. “Jake [Esp] couldn’t hit his outside shot when he had opportunities. We just didn’t do enough.

We didn’t seem to be able to finish it down low. I thought Juwan [Sisco] did a great job

of being physically down low and finishing that.”

The Eagles will finish conference play with Montini on Feb. 20, while Marmion will play St. Francis.

Lutze said the Eagles win was magnified since it gives the Eagles an outside shot at winning the SCC. “Now we have to root for St. Franics when they play Marmion,” Lutze said.

“That’s a big win for us since that leaves us still in the contest.”

Batavia’s Emily Lasse takes off on a fast break pursued by Larkin’s Quixmia Washington on Friday in Batavia. The Bulldogs won, 69-39. got to go to the rack a little bit more instead of settling for that outside shot.”

Koch’s pinpoint putback of a Hannah Frazier’s in-and-out 3-pointer punctuated the run moments before halftime. It provided just another example of the hustle the Bulldogs channeled after the timeout, musical muse or not.

Reserve junior forward Emily Lasse kick-started the spurt with an especially impressive sequence, starting by drilling a long baseline jumper to give the team a 21-19 lead.

With Larkin working to move the ball crisply, Lasse followed with a block of Royals post Shawniece Douglas, leading to Shea Bayram’s basket in transition at the other end.

Lasse scored eight points, following Frazier (17), Koch (17) and Bayram (10).

Lasse continues to make the most of her minutes after practicing with the Bulldogs for the second half of the 2013-14 season. She moved to Batavia from Katy, Texas, at mid-semester when her father, a Sears executive, trans-

ferred, but was ineligible to play until this fall.

“I think it’s awesome,” Lasse said. “I love everybody on the team, and … even though I couldn’t play last year, to be able to see how it was, the dynamic of the team, and now to be able to play, that’s nice.”

Royals sophomore guard Marlee Kyles led all scorers with 19 points, flirting with her season average.

Quixmia Washington added 11 points, but much of Larkin’s offensive output came once Batavia was well ahead.

At one point, the Bulldogs went on a 23-0 run spanning the second and third quarters, a stretch of dominance they’ll look to duplicate Tuesday when the teams meet again in Elgin in a scheduling quirk.

“It is a little weird,” Koch said, “but we know what to expect. They know what we’re expecting. We just have to come out, don’t play any differently and still play as hard as we can.”

That goes double if the Bulldog Buddy Club is unable to travel, too.

Batavia’s Hannah Frazier shoots a jumper against Larkin on Friday in Batavia.

17th St

BATAVIA – Fifteen of the Batavia girls basketball team’s Bulldog Buddy Club youth fans sprinted and smiled through separate pregame introductions Friday.

Accepting their share of tiny hand slaps, the big Bulldogs grinned in turn. If only the transfer of energy had been as seamless.

Batavia admittedly needed a jolt in the early stages of a 6939 romp against Larkin. The Royals tied the Upstate Eight Conference River Division game at 19 midway through the second quarter before the Bulldogs finally discovered it.

“We started off pretty slow, but we just told ourselves that we were better than this, and we just stopped them defensively and just kept scoring on our end,” junior forward Jess Koch said. “It was good.”

It’s a rare condition when a team interprets the instruction of a public address music selection as a direct order. But there were the Bulldogs (1413, 7-5 UEC River), responding to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It” – if not coach Kevin Jensen – moments after the 27-year-old hip hop tune prompted grooving from fans young and old during a timeout.

Batavia closed the second quarter on a 15-0 run en route to outscoring the Royals, 16-2, overall to build a 34-19 lead at the break. The Bulldogs simply ratcheted up their manto-man defense while solving the Royals’ zone more consistently.

Larkin (6-20, 2-10) and Batavia both hovered around 50 percent shooting in the first quarter, but the Royals shot nine percent from the field in the second.

“We had good looks. Girls were taking good shots, uncontested shots. But they just unfortunately were not falling,” Royals coach Ruben Flores said. “So we’ve got to make that adjustment. We’ve got to go to the hoop, we’ve

Weekend Chit-chat with ACC COACH MARK FITZGERALD Aurora Central Catholic girls basketball coach Mark Fitzgerald’s team has enjoyed a strong season, with a pair of losses to Metro Suburban Conference rival Wheaton Academy being among the few downers. The most recent loss to Wheaton Academy – a 41-39 loss Tuesday in Aurora – dampened ACC’s senior night. After the game, Fitzgerald spoke with Chronicle sports editor Jay Schwab for this week’s Weekend Chit-chat, in which he discussed the loss and sized up the Chargers’ first year in their new conference. The following is an edited transcript:

What do you want your girls to take from the loss (to Wheaton Academy) as far as a late-season lesson?

I want them to understand that you need to play the gameplan for the whole game. Some people went off the reservation there a little bit and it cost us.

What we were doing was somewhat new but they need to be a little more disciplined. Possessions are precious in the playoffs. … I’d rather lose this one than in a playoff game like that.

Is (today’s game) at Kaneland another good game to have leading up to the playoffs? … They’re gunning for us.

[Kaneland coach Ernie Colombe] has been out scouting us. Oh, I want it as tough as possible, and they’re a quality opponent. When he invited us, I said that’s perfect. Next year we’re going down to Marian Catholic. I want these kids to play the tough teams because that’ll help us later on. We’ve got 15 wins, we want to get more, but that’s not bad.

What’s your take on this first spin through the Metro Suburban?

I tell you, we’re in the tough, tough division, and I like it. I think it’s great. We see some different teams. I actually like the Tuesday-Thursday public school schedule, kind of. I like that. So I think it’s good. For us, we’re still seeing a lot of the same teams, but overall I think it was a good move for us.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: ST. CHARLES NORTH 49, WEST CHICAGO 24

North’s rout all about defense

By AIMEE BARROWS editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles girls basketball team shined bright on senior night Friday, winning big against West Chicago, 49-24.

North Stars coach Sean Masoncup said he was most proud of his team’s defense in the Upstate Eight Conference River Division victory, which helped the team improve to 18-7 overall and 10-3 in the conference.

“Our defensive effort was huge tonight,” Masoncup said.

“If we can lock in there, everything comes together, like it did tonight.”

Although it was senior night at North, the juniors led the way offensively. Morgan Rosencrants led all scorers with 11 points and junior Claire Jakaitis had 10 points.

Seniors Sam Novak and Nichole Davison had six points each.

Despite the lopsided score, Jakaitis said it was a low-scor-

ing game for her team.

“We usually score in the 60s, but [West Chicago] really tried to toughen it up and slow it down,” she said.

The night belonged at the North Stars from the start, as they took an early lead in the first quarter.

Morgan Rosencrants The Wildcats got close midway through the first, pulling to within 7-6. But that was as close as they got. The North Stars handled everything from there.

West Chicago only scored nine points in the first half, trailing, 27-9, at the break. The Wildcats had a tough time offensively to begin the second half, scoring their first basket with only 1:35 left in the third.

Wildcats coach Kim Wallner said the North Stars’ size made it hard for her team to keep up.

“They were able to go over us, go around us, go through us,” she said. “If we go man-toman, we don’t match up physically.”

West Chicago never got into an offensive rhythm, and Wallner said her team “couldn’t buy a bucket” in the first half.

“Seems to be if one or two of the girls are off, then they’re all off,” she said. “A lot of it’s mental. But we’re better than that, we shoot better in practice.”

Nayeli Lara had eight points for the Wildcats, including two 3s. Kelly Conlon had four points.

Masoncup said West Chicago did a nice job of limiting Davidson, who is normally one of North’s top scorers.

“They tried to take her out,” Masoncup said. “But if you take her away, we have others who can step up and score. They did a good job of being pesky defenders.”

Masoncup said he was very proud of his seniors. He said

senior Ashling Davern, who he described as “one of the best defensive players in the state,” had a great game. Davern said she was pleased with her defensive contribution in Friday’s game.

“Although I didn’t contribute much offensively, I was still able to help my team,” Davern said.

Rosencrants said she wanted to make Friday’s game “all about the seniors.”

“We tried to give them the ball the most, and just wanted to get the win for them,” she said.

Masoncup said his team has two big challenges ahead before regionals later this month.

“Defense wins championships,” Masoncup said. “We have two big tests coming up – Batavia and Glenbard South.

They’re gonna get us ready for regionals. They’re both winnable games, but they both are great programs, and have great coaches.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Kaneland girls basketball clamps down for road win over Yorkville KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE YORKVILLE – Kaneland girls basketball coach Ernie Colombe keeps seeing his team making strides.

It’s translating to the scoreboard.

The Knights limited Yorkville to 15 points after halftime in Friday’s 48-42 Northern Illinois Big 12 East win. The defensive fluidity wasn’t the only thing propelling Kaneland (15-8, 5-6 NI Big 12 East).

“We took care of the ball a little bit better tonight, cut down on our turnovers, which really helped, and we rebounded well,” Colombe said.

Ally Van Bogaert powered Kaneland’s offense with 16 points as she hovered around 50 percent shooting. Camri Conley added a big boost with a solid floor game, contributing eight points, 10 rebounds and four assists.

“Camri Conley was all over the place tonight,” Colombe said.

“For a point guard, she was flying

around and making plays.”

Left-handed St. Charles East graduate ready to go for Diamondbacks

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Saturday, February 7, 2015

24

Reynolds armed with ‘clean bill of health’

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com Left-hander Matt Reynolds generally avoided MRIs and extended injury absences during the first six-plus seasons of his professional baseball career.

On Sept. 29, the day after the Arizona Diamondbacks played their 162nd game of 2014 without him, the St. Charles East product underwent what he hopes is his final procedure for awhile.

Especially since the results came back positive on the reliever’s throwing elbow more than a year after Tommy John surgery.

“It was kind of nice to be able to say, ‘All right, I’ve got a clean bill of health and can have a pretty normal offseason,’ ” Reynolds said.

To be sure, that prospect suited Reynolds, 30, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since June 9, 2013.

He suffered a slight tear in the elbow’s ulnar collateral ligament after growing discomfort, derailing what was

shaping up as his strongest big league season in his third year in the Major Leagues.

Reynolds’ final appearance of 2013 was his 30th, putting him on pace to challenge his previous career high of 73 set in 2011, when he pitched for the Colorado Rockies. His ERA was under 1.00 as late as May 15, and Matt Reynolds f i n i s h e d a t 1.98.

After multiple evaluations, Arizona ultimately decided to shut Reynolds down for the season. He underwent Tommy John surgery in late September 2013. So began the arduous stages of rehab, which proved especially jittery in the early going.

“There’s not a lot to it,” Reynolds said. “You try to do as much as you can, but you can’t really start throwing until about four months out. and even then, it’s a really slow, drawn-out process.”

Once he was cleared to throw, Reynolds began doing

so with a half-weight baseball, gradually progressing in distance. He then shifted to a regulation baseball, repeating the earlier process.

When the Diamondbacks were at home, he rehabbed at Chase Field. When the club was on the road, he traveled to its facility in nearby Scottsdale, Arizona.

The climb won’t fully reach a crescendo until Reynolds appears in his first game of 2015.

Still, he at least approached

BOYS PREP SWIMMING

that milestone in October, pitching in instructional league games while working to bump his velocity from the mid-80s to the optimal 89-90 mph.

“Right now it might be a tick lower than that, but usually it is until spring training,” Reynolds said. “Usually my good velocity doesn’t come back until I’m a little bit into camp, for whatever reason.”

Reynolds plans to report to spring training about a week earlier than the mandated Feb. 19 date for D’backs pitchers and catchers.

He’s maintained a sturdy physique – 6-foot-5 and about 240 pounds – through the rehab process. Charting a handful of Arizona’s offseason moves offered his psyche some sustenance, to boot.

New manager Chip Hale called Reynolds shortly after the D’backs hired Hale as Kirk Gibson’s successor in October.

They’ve exchanged text messages since, discussing Reynolds’ rehab and the shared optimism surrounding

the season.

“From what I hear, he’s a pretty fiery guy and it should be fun to work with him,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds also stayed abreast of Arizona’s search for a new Class-A affiliate.

In late September, the club agreed to a two-year player-development contract with the Cougars.

Reynolds remembers attending Cougars games with his family about once a year growing up.

“Just kind of a coincidence,” Reynolds said.”It didn’t really affect me at all.

It’s kind of neat that the team I’m playing for is kind of the minor league team in town, but that’s about it.”

Since he relocated to Tennessee, Reynolds still stays in touch with some former Saints coaches and teammates.

He’s elated the topic of conversation has shifted from matters of inaction to action.

As with his rehab, slowly reaching its final stages, it was simply a matter of time.

MCAC a league that hasn’t gone under Potential intrigue in regionals

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com What equates to shifting in the Metro Catholic Aquatics Conference?

Try last-minute lane assignments and switching ends during a water polo match.

While many conferences have endured mass moves over the past few school years, the MCAC, which holds its boys swimming conference meet at Fenwick today, remains firm.

“All this realignment has zero impact on us,” Marmion boys swimming coach Bill Schalz said. “We just go out and do our thing.”

Formed in 1999, the MCAC combined boys and girls swimming and water

polo teams from the Chicago Catholic League and East Suburban Catholic Conference.

“At the time, we could go to our conference meet and swim off-events and dominate the meet,” said Schalz, a longtime staple at Marmion and its sister school, Rosary.

“It wasn’t a lot of value to us, and I don’t know if it was a lot of value to the teams below us. So we worked it out, we merged the confer-

ences.”

St. Francis is a more recent addition to the MCAC. Benet, De La Salle, Loyola, St. Ignatius and St. Viator are the other schools with both boys and girls entrants.

Elsewhere on the boys swimming scene, St. Charles East and St. Charles North will compete in today’s Upstate Eight Conference meet at Waubonsie Valley.

It figures to be both teams’ last looks at the Warriors’ lane ropes for a time.

Metea Valley, Neuqua Valley and Waubonsie Valley are set to leave the UEC for the DuPage Valley Conference next school year.

“The UEC will be a different conference, that’s for sure,” North Stars coach Rob Rooney said.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE Get ready, girls basketball fans. Saints-North Stars III could be less than two weeks away.

The IHSA on Friday finalized scheduling for the upcoming Class 3A and 4A postseasons. Should the seeds hold in the 4A Geneva Sectional, No. 5 St. Charles North would host No. 4 St. Charles East in a regional final on Feb. 20.

The crosstown foes split meetings during the regular season, with the Saints winning Jan. 17 on North’s home floor, 61-43.

Elsewhere in the sectional

With a new general manager and coach, and plenty of questions about which players are returning, it’s difficult to gauge where the Bears’ organization is at when it comes to adding free agents, and how much the team will be willing to spend.

We know GM Ryan Pace believes in building through the draft, but you can count on some freeWillie Young agent additions when it all begins March 10.

We’ll go position-by-position breaking down where the Bears Lamarr stand, who Houston their options are and who they could target next month.

Today, we analyze the defensive end position.

Note: For this exercise, we are going to focus on some of the 3-4 defensive ends. The Bears have yet to confirm if they’ll play a 4-3 or 3-4 base.

Current Bears situation: At this time a year ago, defensive end was the Bears’ biggest need. Then they splurged, signing Lamarr Houston, Willie Young and Jared Allen.

Unfortunately, Allen had a

More online This is the fifth in a series of stories about the Bears’ free-agent options.

Follow the series online at ChicagoFootball.com.

Today: Defensive ends career-low 5.5 sacks, Houston tallied only one sack – and then tore his ACL celebrating it – and Young was the star with 10 sacks, but his season ended in Week 16 because of a torn Achilles. In addition to figuring out how these three fit in a new defense, the Bears need to see how Houston and Young recover from their first major injuries in the NFL. Can Young stand up and be an outside linebacker? What about Allen? Although Houston played three-technique in the Bears’ nickel last season and could be a five-technique on the end in a 3-4, he also has experience playing outside linebacker in a 3-4 in Oakland.

A lot needs to be sorted out.

Also returning are youngsters Cornelius Washington and David Bass. Both showed flashes last season, but might be without a position in a 3-4.

Dream on: There isn’t one defensive end who is set to break the bank – it would have been Greg Hardy, if he wasn’t in trouble off the field. The best defensive ends available are 4-3 players, Jason PierrePaul and Jerry Hughes, and

we’ll talk about Hughes in the linebacker part of this series.

Chicago connections: Unlike all the other positions we have studied, the class of free-agent defensive ends, with a focus on those who can play in a “30” front, does not present any former Saints (Pace), 49ers (defensive coordinator Vic Fangio) or Broncos (coach John Fox).

Other options: When looking at 3-4 defensive ends, teams want long and wide players, in the J.J. Watt or Muhammad Wilkerson mold. These players should have an ability to rush the passer, but also to control offensive linemen and stop the run. Sometimes, 4-3 defensive tackles can bounce outside in a 30-front. A couple options there include Tyson Alualu, a former first-round pick by the Jaguars; Jared Odrick, a former Dolphins first-rounder who has played in every game over the past four seasons; and Alex Carrington, who has been hampered by injuries the past two seasons but was a solid reserve for the Bills in 2011-12.

Jarvis Jenkins has struggled in his three seasons in Washington. He had a Pro Football Focus grade of -16.7 last season. The 6-foot-4, 315-pounder turns 27 in April.

If the Bears choose the veteran route, they could consider the 6-6, 325-pound Alan Branch, who had three tackles in the Super Bowl. The Bills released Branch in August after a DUI and he appeared in eight games for the Patriots.

St. Francis football’s Calcagno, Vargyas sign letters of intent

• Saturday, February 7, 2015 Photo provided

St. Francis senior football players Quinn Calcagno (left) and John Vargyas, both of St. Charles, committed to Miami of Ohio and Purdue, respectively, as part of Wednesday’s national signing day. Both players were instrumental in helping St. Francis to a Class 6A semifinal in 2014. Calcagno, a defensive end and the Chicago Catholic Green’s defensive MVP, chose Miami after entertaining a handful of offers. Vargyas, an offensive lineman/linebacker who also earned all-CCL Green honors, heads to Purdue as a preferred walk-on long snapper.

WEEKEND LIFE No ‘just’ in a busy mom’s world Noah called me from school Wednesday morning.

“I forgot my water bottle. Can you just bring it?” he asked.

Criminy. Technically, I could. That day, I was working from home. I could kill my train of thought; climb out of my cozy pajamas (working from home rocks!) and into my snow gear; brush my hair; brush off the car; head over to the high school; sign in at the office; and leave it alongside others’ forgotten gym clothes and homework and lunches, where he could retrieve it.

Sure, I could JUST bring it. All tolled – particularly if I ran into a friend at the school and enjoyed a chat, and then remembered that, oh yeah, I need duct tape! And, really, the hardware store is JUST up the street; before I know it, I’ve lost an hour. Or more.

And maybe, my train of thought and momentum for the project I was working on. There really is no “just bring it” in my world, or yours, either. But that’s not our kids’ concern, nor should it be. Their job is to remember their stuff. Our job is to teach them how.

Noah’s a good kid. He walks the dog, makes an effort in school, knows how to have fun and be a good friend, and takes care of his body. I’m proud of him. He also works out and eats well

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose (better than anyone else in the house, if I’m honest), and part of what he does to keep himself feeling good and in tip-top shape is drink lots of water. I admire that.

But still, this is water we were talking about. Not a huge project due that day and not lunch, water. They’ve got water fountains at the high school.

“Sorry, bud, but I’m working. Can you buy some?”

“I don’t have any cash,” he replied.

I told him I was confident that he could problem-solve a decent solution. Heck, I couldn’t blame him for taking the path of least resistance and beginning that process with a call to mom, but I told him he’d have to keep brainstorming.

The thing is, the lesson is bigger than how to remember a mere water bottle. How does a child develop independence if his parent always runs to his rescue? Noah doesn’t often make such requests. He’s a typical teenag-

er who, ever since he could speak, expressed that “do-it-’self” posture; he could hardly be called the poster-child for clinging to mom’s apron strings.

Like the rest of us, though, he isn’t above appreciating the warm fuzzy felt when someone lends a hand. It feels good. It feeds that basic need to feel attached and tethered in some way, and that’s reassuring. I’ll admit it, with the specter of his adulthood staring me square in the face, it’s reassuring to me, too. Not gonna lie, it feels good to be needed. But there’s a line.

Sometimes, indulging these apparently benign request reinforces that it’s OK not to be prepared.

That said, I like to consider the context. Is my child maybe not feeling so hot? Is there something else going on that I might need to notice and attend to, that makes remembering things challenging or impossible? What are the consequences of my saying “no”?

If it’s an assignment due NOW (that didn’t include the efforts of his classmates) that was left behind on the table at home, will the kid get a lower grade or even a zero? Is that OK? Sometimes it is, in my book. That’s life. Better he should work this out when the stakes aren’t quite so high, while he’s got me around to help him process the

consequences and problem solve future possibilities.

That said, this time it was just a water bottle. I knew I’d made the right decision, but I couldn’t help wondering how he made out.

“How’d it go?” I asked, when I picked him up after school. Seems he scored a bottle from a friend who’d brought several, and when it was empty, simply refilled it at the water fountain. Problem solved. He’ll return the favor or pay it forward, one way or another. Learning how to receive help and be helped by others is part of life, too. Awesome! Two lessons in one!

It’s a weird thing to realize, but if I’ve done my job right, someday I’ll lose it. That day may come sooner than I think, though.

“I’m NOT gonna forget my water bottle today,” Noah said Thursday morning, as he prepared to leave for school.

“Hallelujah! And that’s part of why I said ‘no’ yesterday,” I said, “To help you remember, right?”

Right. Phew.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, take the pulse of your relationship People stare at me in disbelief when I tell them that my husband and I have never had an argument. Honestly, never.

So, for all you disbelievers, and in honor of Valentine’s Day, here are the secrets of our success.

1. Prioritize the important things in your life. First comes our faith, next comes our spouse, then our children, followed by ourselves, our extended family, friends, our jobs, and the issues of the world. After that comes all the other stuff and clutter of life.

This doesn’t pertain to how much time we spend in each of these areas, rather how much emotional energy and commitment we allot.

2. Cherish each other. Because we love each other, we don’t yell or say bad things to one another. We build each other up instead. That way our marriage is lived without regrets.

thought to enter my mind about my spouse. Once it gets in there, it stays there and causes trouble later on. Keep the slate clear.

Our goal is to accumulate positive thoughts and feelings for one another. Positive thoughts lead to positive actions.

conclusion. We do not stray off topic. We enter into discussions with an attitude of helping the other person. Whether we are seeking a solution to a problem or just someone to hear us vent, we listen and comment with compassion for the other person.

6. Don’t make assumptions. We ask instead of assuming. We don’t want to believe something that isn’t correct. We’re best friends, as well as spouses. If we can’t ask something of our spouse, then whom can we ask?

controversial or “heavy” when we’re hungry, crabby or sleepy.

Those physical needs get in the way of effective communication.

5. Stay on topic. We will only discuss one thing at a time.

The person who brought up the issue has the floor until that issue has reached a satisfactory

if we’re upset with each other.

And because we don’t discuss issues when we’re tired, we have to know that we’re upset about something and get it worked on earlier in the day. If you “sleep on it,” you store it. If you store it, your slate isn’t clear. If your slate isn’t clear, you are build-

ing resentments that will crop up later. That’s not healthy.

8. Take the pulse of your relationship every day. We try to be aware of each other’s moods and encourage the other to talk about their day or feelings. That way, if something is brewing, we can catch it and help to resolve the issue before it develops into a bigger problem.

9. Admit your mistakes. We are open and trusting of one another. If we messed up, we admit it and say we’re sorry.

Saying those simple words has a positive impact not only on the person receiving the apology, but also on the person giving it.

10. Don’t take things personally.

We all mess up once in a while and something comes out the wrong way. That’s natural. If it happens to us, we just stop and kindly ask the question, “What did you mean when you said that?” We allow the other

person the chance to say they’re sorry and re-phrase their statement. Our responses to our loved one should always be compassionate.

Our marriage should be our best work of art. Like the artist, we should use all of the finest techniques we have about love, honor, respect and cherishing one another to create our marriage masterpiece.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I am 18, and like most of my friends, I have gone away to college. We have a friend whose life went off track during our senior year because of drinking, drugs and other misbehavior.

She’s now without a place to live or any support system.

She calls us from time to time, and we aren’t sure what to believe or how to help her since we are all in a different place in our lives, and far away. We won’t give her money because we are worried about what she might do with it, but we really do want to help her.

What is the best approach? – Worried Friend In Florida Dear Worried: I agree that you should not give her money. The best approach would be for you to advise your friend to get into a shelter with social services for homeless women. If she does, she may be able to get into a substance abuse program, receive

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips government benefits and straighten out her life.

Dear Abby: Is there a polite way to ask a colleague to stop bringing her kids to work? Our offices are next to each other, and the dividing wall doesn’t reach the ceiling.

I have to hear them yelling at each other (they are 2 and 4), crying, whining and their mother’s attempts at discipline, etc. This isn’t occasional – it happens often.

Should I ask management to shift my office away from hers? – Distracted In Detroit Dear Distracted: This is something you should discuss either with your supervisor or your employer. While I empathize with the woman’s difficulty in

finding someone to supervise her youngsters, if their presence in the workplace is disruptive, your needs should be accommodated.

Dear Abby: I have a family friend whose son has been engaged twice, to two different women. Each time, his family threw him an engagement party (which he wanted) – and I was invited to both. Each time, I bought a gift. Neither one was returned after the engagement was broken. If my friend’s son becomes engaged a third time and has an engagement party to which I am invited, am I obligated to bring a gift? – Polite Party Guest Dear Polite: No. I think by now you have given enough. And I can’t imagine his family inviting the same people a third time and expecting them to give him more than good wishes.

These tips can help with mild cognitive impairment Dear Doctor K: My father’s doctor says he has mild cognitive impairment. What does that mean?

Dear Reader: Mild age-related memory loss – “Where did I leave my keys?” – is normal.

But people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have memory loss and/or trouble thinking that are more persistent and severe than normal.

There are two types of MCI. Amnestic MCI involves memory loss. People with non-amnestic MCI have problems with other cognitive functions. They may have difficulty with language: They may have trouble finding the words to express themselves.

Or they may have trouble concentrating on a task, or in figuring things out, like how to replace the battery in the remote.

Some people have both types of MCI. MCI differs from normal, age-related memory loss in the kind of information a person forgets. With normal memory loss, people tend to forget things that aren’t terribly important to them. They might forget the name of a casual acquaintance, for example. With MCI, a person may not be able to learn and retain important new informa-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tion. They may not remember the name of the new president of the company they work for. Or they may forget about the upcoming wedding of a family member.

On memory tests, people with amnestic MCI have more trouble remembering the details of pictures they’ve just seen or paragraphs they’ve recently read.

Their memory difficulty is comparable to that of someone with very mild Alzheimer’s disease.

But they do well on tests that measure other mental functions, such as their ability to keep the details of routine activities straight. On these tests, people with amnestic MCI perform as well as people who don’t have MCI. And they perform much better than people with Alzheimer’s. In a person with MCI, cognitive impairment does not yet substantially interfere with day-to-day functioning. This is the critical difference between someone with MCI and someone with dementia.

Some people with MCI remain stable for years. But people with

MCI are much more likely to develop dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease.

There is no specific treatment for MCI. The following tips can help your father optimize his mental functioning. They can also help him stave off other medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, that can further impact memory and thinking: • Get his vision and hearing checked.

• Ask his doctor if any of his medications might be contributing to his condition.

• Limit alcohol he drinks to no more than two drinks per day.

• Have him eat a healthy diet.

• Exercise regularly.

• Stay socially engaged.

• Do challenging mental tasks every day, such as solving crossword puzzles, playing games (chess, bridge, Scrabble) and reading.

There is no way to predict perfectly whether someone with MCI will get worse. But your father (with your help and encouragement) can reduce that risk.

Adults use scare tactics on teens Dr. Wallace: I have read many articles that say drinking alcohol is rated the same as taking hard drugs such as cocaine or heroin.

I think this is just a bunch of baloney! I’m 18 and several times I have had two or more beers, but I fail to see how this would compare equally with snorting cocaine or shooting up with heroin.

I think these studies are just trying to scare us teens into not drinking. Do the adults who do these surveys think we’re too stupid to think for ourselves? – Jerry, Santa Fe, New Mexico Dear Jerry: I really don’t think that anyone is trying to scare you into thinking that shooting up with heroin is comparable to drinking a beer or two. However, it is important for teens to understand that alcohol is also considered an addictive drug, and any drug abuse can have serious consequences.

We know the terrible results of abusing hard drugs. We are reminded of these results every day in newspapers, magazines, on television and in the classrooms. But overall, the leading cause of family disruption and destruction is the abuse of alcohol by a family member or members.

According to the American Automobile Association, driving under the influence of alcohol is the leading cause of fatal motor vehicle crashes.

Talk with the parents of a child who was killed in a motor vehicle crash caused by a driver who had consumed two or maybe more beers before getting behind the wheel, and you will understand that the consumption of alcohol

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace is not just a bunch of baloney!

Dr. Wallace: I have no tragic problem that I’d like solved, and I have no useful information that I’d like to pass on, yet I would truly appreciate your printing my letter. I write it for my parents, whom I love dearly.

Reading your column has made me realize just how fortunate I am to have such wonderful parents.

Not only are they Mom and Dad, they are also my best friends. I will always cherish our loving relationship for my entire life and when the time comes I know that my future husband and children will feel the same. If I had a chance to choose the best possible parents the “second time around,” I would choose my own mom and dad. No one could do it better.

I realize that too often, I have taken them for granted because they have always been there when I needed them and they always will be. When I reflect on their love, it would be very difficult to live without their wisdom, their honesty and their undying love and devotion.

Mom and Dad, thanks for having me as your daughter! – Cathy, Colorado Springs, Colorado Dear Cathy: When parenting is a “full-time job” the results are overwhelmingly positive. Your parents work overtime!

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Ask yourself who should win the trick

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Kenneth Tynan, an English theater critic who died in 1980, said, “A critic is a man who knows the way, but can’t drive the car.”

A poor bridge player is a man or woman who knows how many tricks are needed, but cannot correctly work out how to get them.

Against four spades, he leads the heart ace: three, two, nine. How should West continue?

In the bidding, North was right to respond four spades.

With six-card support, he should shut his eyes and bid game. He has no clue who can make what, so he should go for the game bonus. Even if four spades is failing, perhaps the opponents have missed a lucrative contract.

After the first trick, West has seen 12 hearts; only the four is outstanding. He should realize declarer holds that card. If East had it, he would have played it at trick one, starting an echo (highlow) with his doubleton.

Given that, it seems obvious to cash the heart king. Under that, East would probably discard the club queen, showing a suit headed by at least the Q-J-10.

Then, though, there would be no defense. West would have to cash the club ace to stop an overtrick.

Instead, West should lead his lowest heart at trick two. This forces East to ruff the trick. Then East can shift to the club queen, giving the defenders one heart, the ruff and two clubs.

Yes, East might have ruffed his partner’s winner at trick two – but not if he trusts his partner.

West should lead a loser when he wants partner to ruff.
