Student panelists ply D-304 hopefuls with questions By BRENDA SCHORY

On the Web

bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – It’s not unusual for the Geneva District 304 school board candidates in the April 7 consolidated election would field questions at a forum – however Monday’s 90-minute forum was hosted by the Geneva High School Student Council. Incumbents Mary Stith and Kelly Nowak and newcomers Tina Yagla, Ann Murtaugh,Taylor Egan and Evelyn Schneider faced the student panelists and an audience of about 100 at Williamsburg Elementary School. Incumbent Michael McCormick said he could not attend because of work obligations. Candidates are seeking three four-year seats on the board. Student panelists were freshmen Bailey Pihera and Madison Heine, sophomore Tulsi Patel, junior Pranita Sarangabany and senior Brendan Cassen. Questions came both from students and then from the public. To a question of how Common Core Standards has affected the schools, Egan said teachers met the challenge “very capably.” “We are just now seeing the fruits of their labor,” Egan said. “Especially [in] math … students are able to take the problem and solve it in so many different ways. Illinois adopted Common Core Standards in 2010 for English language arts and math. Nowak, who is seeking her third term, said the implementation was challenging

Stith, who is seeking her fourth term, said the district met the unfunded mandate. “We did not add staff, we made them do more,” Stith said. “I see the benefits. People don’t always see the work that went into it.” For Schneider, herself an educator and high school counselor in another district, said “I think we do have a challenge. I think we’re meeting it head-on.” Yalga said she was reassured it was implemented smoothly, but she has concerns about its cost. “Teaching our kids to think deeper is definitely a good thing [but] ... with great teachers here in Geneva, I think we were doing that anyway,” Yagla said.

A daughter of immigrant parents, Schneider said her parents instilled in her that education was the way to go forward. She said her family moved to Geneva for its schools. “I am very active in the district in which I work,” Schneider said. “It’s time for me to give back here.” Yagla said her concern is property taxes. “There has to be some sort of balance ... to keep providing quality education with some sort of affordability,” Yagla said. Egan, currently PTO president for Mill Creek Elementary School, said she wanted to be part of a bigger role in the school community. “When my first child walked into Mill Creek … it made me that much more passionate of what we have,” Egan said. The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County will host a forum for both school and aldermanic races at 7 p.m. March 24 at Kane County Branch Court, 530 Randall Road, St. Charles.

Stith said her four children went through Geneva schools. “I just wanted to serve and make our schools better – that was the greatest investment in our community,” Stith said. “I really found my passion with children and want to do more.” Murtaugh said her family moved here 21 years ago and her three children graduated from Geneva schools. “It’s a wonderful district. It’s fabulous,” Murtaugh said. Nowak said her three daughters, age 14 to 20, have been in the district 14 years. Nowak said she’d like another term to see the district through upcoming legislative changes. “I care about public education in general,” Nowak said. “I care about our students and I want them to have every advantage.”

Elburn trustees: Special election cost too high Village leaders might consider boosting sales tax in effort to help raise funds By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com ELBURN – The idea of Elburn running a special election in the fall to address the village’s police pension issue appears to be off the table. The possibility of an increased sales tax, however, appears to be alive. Village officials recently learned the cost of a special election would be more than $64,000, and trustees at Monday night’s Committee of the Whole meeting indicated that was too high a price to pay. “I don’t think it’s worth the money,” village board member Jeff Walter said. “I don’t think so, either,” board member Dave Gualdoni added. Village officials previous-

ly discussed the possibility as part of the ongoing discussion of how to address the cost of police pensions. Earlier this year, Village President Dave Anderson said he had a preliminary conversation with Kane County Sheriff Donald Kramer to see whether Kramer would have interest in having the Sheriff’s Office take over police duties in Elburn. Village residents packed a meeting not long after that, with many saying they would not support such a move. Several said they instead would be behind another attempt at a referendum. Once the village reached 5,000 residents, it no longer was able to fund its police pensions through the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund.

In 2012, voters in the village rejected a referendum that would have created and funded a new police pension system. Since then, the money has come out of the village’s general fund, and Dave Anderson has said Elburn has been going without needed street repairs. He said the village needed to explore ideas that could save on costs, and he has said he wanted to see whether contracting services with the Sheriff’s Office could lead to savings. A possible solution could be the village conducting a successful referendum, but the deadline had passed to get such a question on the April ballot, and no election is scheduled in November. Without a special election, the village would have to wait

until the spring of 2016 to attempt a referendum. At a meeting earlier this month, Trustee Craig Swan brought up two other possibilities to provide a boost for the village’s funds – increasing the income tax as much as a quarter of a percent or seeking to collect a vehicle sticker fee. On Monday, Swan said he had done research and found that Elburn’s sales tax of 7 percent is significantly below that of nearby communities. The sales tax idea was more popular among officials than the vehicle sticker. Erin Willrett, the village administrator, warned that fees collected from vehicle stickers could only be used for specific costs, such as street maintenance. Dave Anderson said there are administrative

fees associated with a vehicle sticker program. “The idea of a sales tax piques more interest than a vehicle sticker,” Dave Anderson said. Village Trustee Ken Anderson suggested that there could be a spread sheet at a future meeting that would show Elburn’s sales tax compared to nearby municipalities, as well as how much money could be generated by raising the sales tax. “What if we get that sort of data sheet and keep talking about it?” Ken Anderson said. Dave Anderson indicated he would listen to any suggestions. “I said it at the last meeting, and I’ll say it again,” Dave Anderson said, adding he was “open to ideas.”

Highway Department referendum is set for 7 p.m. Monday at the Rejoice Lutheran Church, 0N377 N. Mill Creek Drive in

Blackberry Township. Blackberry Township’s highway commissioner will share the Engineering Enterprise Road

condition report presented at the February township meeting. Mill Creek residents will have a chance to see the report and to

ask questions. For information, call 630-365-9109, ext. 2, or visit www.blackberryroads.org.

COVER STORY

JURY DELIBERATES

Shadwick King takes stand, closing arguments presented By CHARLES MENCHACA

News sent to your phone

cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Jurors on Monday began deliberations in the case against a Geneva man accused of killing his wife. As of press deadline, the 12-member jury still had not reached a verdict in the case of People vs. Shadwick R. King. The 47-year-old was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Kathleen King. Jury members at about 4:10 p.m. Monday left the courtroom after they received the instructions to deliberate the case. Judge James Hallock on Friday said the county would provide them dinner if necessary but would did not specify a time when deliberations would adjourn for the evening if needed. Shadwick King on Monday morning took the witness stand in his own defense. The courtroom was standing-room only for his testimony and remained that way until jurors left for deliberations. Shadwick King testified that he did not kill his wife, Kathleen, and never physically harmed her in the 12 years that they were together. One of his attorneys, Kane County Public Defender Kelli Childress, asked him if he killed his wife. “I did not – absolutely did not,” Shadwick King said in response to the question. Shadwick King’s voice was shaky as he described his wife as a great wife, a great friend and a wonderful person. Shadwick and Kathleen King have three sons, with the oldest being 10. After a few other short questions from Childress, Assistant State’s Attorney Greg Sams asked Shadwick King about his wife’s running habits. Kathleen King usually wore contacts and an armband when she went running, Shadwick King said. Neither contacts nor an armband were found with

Judge James Hallock consults with defense attorneys Kelli Childress (right) and Dan Konicek (left) during the trial of Shadwick King on Monday morning in the 16th Judicial Circuit at the Kane County Judicial Center in St. Charles. King, 47, is accused of killing his wife, Kathleen M. King, 32, by asphyxiating her at their Geneva home and dumping her body along railroad tracks near their home in the city’s first homicide in nearly 40 years, authorities said.

“No one will ever know what happened on those railroad tracks.” Kelli Childress Kane County public defender Kathleen King when her body was found shortly before 6:40 a.m. July 6 partially on railroad tracks less than a half-mile from the King’s home on Geneva’s east side. Shadwick King told police that his wife went running on the morning of July 6. By July 11, he was charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife. After a few witnesses were recalled, Childress spoke for over an hour Monday afternoon during the first part of closing arguments at the trial. Childress said none of the evidence presented over the last two weeks tied Shadwick

King to the crime. Just as she did during opening statements on March 3, Childress wrote on a large dry erase board wheeled into the courtroom. This afternoon she wrote “Science doesn’t lie” at the top. “No one will ever know what happened on those railroad tracks,” Childress said to the 12-member jury. Childress presented a theory that Kathleen King went for a walk in the early morning hours of July 6 after she and Shadwick King talked. She referred to the opinion of Dr. Larry Blum, a retired forensic pathologist. Based on the evidence in

the case, Blum said it was his opinion that Kathleen King died of natural causes due to sudden cardiac arrhythmia. He explained that several factors contributed to this, including intoxication, sleep deprivation, stress and caffeine consumption. After Childress completed her argument, Sams spoke to the jury for almost two hours recounting multiple pieces of evidence that he said linked Shadwick King to the death of his wife. Sams broke his argument down into three parts – the physical evidence, the digital evidence and the defendant’s

own words. A large portion of the evidence was in reference to the 3,499 text messages Kathleen King exchanged with a man from Boston that she met in the spring of 2014. Sams said that after reviewing the latest text messages between the man and his wife, Shadwick King strangled his wife, changed her clothes and moved her body to railroad tracks near their home. Sams used multiple Internet and Facebook records to show that Shadwick King searched for information about the Boston man once he knew that his wife was texting the man. Shadwick King told police he looked at Kathleen King’s phone in the early-morning hours of July 6. At about 1 a.m. that night, Kathleen King proposed to the Boston man through a text message, and the man accepted the proposal. The physical evidence against Shadwick King included the underwire bra that Kathleen King wore. Sams said it was unusual for Kathleen King to wear an underwire bra when 11 sports bras were found in the Kings’ home on Geneva’s east side. Other physical evidence included injuries on Kathleen King’s body that were inconsistent with the railroad track scene where Kathleen King’s body was found, Sams said. “The defendant did it, tried to cover it up, lied about it … and now it’s time for the defendant to be held accountable for his actions,” Sams said in court of Shadwick King. The latest available updates for the trial will be posted to KCChronicle.com.

What to recycle with Advanced Disposal SPONSORED BY

By Carmen R. Heflin Absolutely! By taking the timCurrently, millions of Americans, including Advanced Disposal customers, recycle each year. By moving to the single stream recycling, with all items going in one bin, it has made the process easier but has also created problems. Sometimes customers mix non-recyclables with recyclables which can costs environmental service providers and local governments million to remove these items known as contaminants. The following is a list of commonly mistaken items that show up in recycling bins: • Plastic Garbage BagsThese bags often get caught in the recycling sorter which causes the whole system to be shut down while the bags are removed manually. • Take-Out Containers and Donut Boxes- can only be recycled if free of food waste and residue. • Polystyrene (Styrofoam)Requires highly specialized equipment to recycle usually not found in single stream recycling facilities. • Paper Coffee Cups- The plastic coating applied to

prevent leaking make them non-recyclable. • Shredded Paper- With the reduced size, it usually ends up mixed with residue or glass and cannot be recovered for recycling. • Pizza Boxes- The grease from the pizza contaminates the raw material. Any untarnished parts can be torn off and recycled. • Household Glass- These items can be dangerous and should be left out of recycling. • Wet Paper- This makes recycling difficult or impossible and should be disposed of with trash. • Milk and Juice CartonsSome communities will not accept them because of the thin wax coat. • Baby Diapers • Aerosol Cans- These are classified as household hazardous waste and must be disposed as such. • Ceramics and Pottery • Paint, Pesticides, Automotive Fluids, Gasoline, Kerosene and Car Batteries- These items should be disposed at a hazardous waste disposal facility. • Automotive Parts and Scrap Metal- The items are too large for recycling equipment. • Hypodermic Needles

St. Charles gets into Irish spirit with St. Patrick’s Parade By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Curbside spectator spots were in demand in St. Charles on Saturday as hundreds of people lined either side of Main Street to watch the annual St. Patrick’s Parade. The Crum family of Elgin was among those lucky to get a spot – and set up seats – along the parade route, which stretched from Sixth Street to Fourth Avenue. For the Crums, the 16th annual parade had special significance: it was the first-ever parade for their 4½-year-old son and 19-month-old daughter, mother Chrissy Crum said. While his sister enjoyed the music, Connor Crum – who held a hat full of sweets – said he liked “the candy part.” The Downtown St. Charles Partnership event featured about 80 entries, which included marching bands, bagpipes, children’s

N. Aurora takes stand against proposed state budget cuts

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com NORTH AURORA – Village trustees took aim against Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal Monday to slash in half the local governments’ share of the state income tax. Trustees approved a resolution urging Rauner and the

Illinois General Assembly to protect full funding of the local government distributive fund revenues. In his fiscal 2016 budget address, Rauner proposed a 50 percent reduction in the local share of the income tax. The resolution stated that North Aurora would lose about $830,000 under his proposal. North Aurora President Dale Berman criticized the idea. “We need to operate our community,” Berman said. According to the resolution, “the loss of this state-shared income tax revenue would result in elimination of countless jobs, local tax increases,

Dale Berman North Aurora President program and service cuts and could increase debt burdens that would be felt by all citizens.” Several local leaders, including Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns, in February railed against the cuts at a Metro West Council of Government news conference.

Dura Supreme introduces Bath Furniture SPONSORED BY

Lynn O’Shea Executive Director at the Association for Individual Development man Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities. It provides 80 percent of the program cost, with 20 percent paid by the family, officials said. Respite services per family is limited to 120 hours or $960 a year. If a family has more than one member for whom respite is needed, an additional 60 hours, or $480 a year, will be allocated, officials said. Carrie Abbs, 41, of St. Charles said she relies on the respite program for assistance with her son, Teddy, 11, who has autism. Abbs spoke at the news conference about receiving the services. “Respite help allows my family and I to … attend to our older child’s musical events without having to worry about the process overwhelming her brother,” Abbs said. “We also use it for him to attend Fox Valley Special Recreation in a typical class with an aide or a special recreation class.” State Sen. Linda Holmes, D-Aurora, spoke at the news conference in support of keeping the respite money in the state’s proposed budget. “If the cuts went through, AID would have to cut three programs and 37 staff,” Holmes said. “So many cuts

are the ones affecting working families and those who need the services. [Rauner] still needs 60 votes in the House and 30 in the Senate. And I’m not the only one speaking up and speaking out for it.” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly expressed sympathy for families, such as Abbs’, in a statement. “Family members who care for a loved one with disabilities have a difficult job, and we appreciate the care they provide,” Kelly said in the statement. “Unfortunately, for years, majority-party legislators, like Sen. Holmes, pushed through irresponsible budgets, and we are now facing a $6 billion deficit,” she said in the statement. “The governor had to make some very difficult decisions to put the state back on a fiscally sustainable path.” Tony Paulauski, executive director of the Arc of Illinois, said Rauner’s budget “zeros out” what amounts to an important safety net for families. “It needs to be fully restored, no doubt about that,” Paulauski said. “I’m doing this 23 years, and it’s been in place that long. It’s a longstanding program.”

The Bath Furniture Collection, introduced in January, offers an intimate sanctuary to relax and reconnect in a refreshing spa-like environment. “It’s a whole series of new products,” said Hines Corporate Cabinetry Manager Tom Mullen. “A typical vanity cabinet looks like a kitchen cabinet. This is bath furniture that can be customized.” It’s the look of custom-made furniture without the price, Mullen said. “It’s upscale. It’s more freestanding like a dresser or armoire, or a credenza where a lot of people put towels and things like that,” Mullen added. “This looks like furniture because this is furniture.” In addition to an assortment of sizes, the Bath Furniture Col-

lection from Dura Supreme offers a myriad of design configurations including legs, bottom shelves, doors and more. Choose from five styles and multiple configurations within each style for sink, matching tall cabinet and mirror options. Handcrafted in Minnesota for more than 50 years, Dura Supreme cabinets are available in an expansive palette of finishes and wood species so you can create your own personal look with the help of Dura Supreme designers who can help you transform your bath.

The Association for Individual Development on Monday reported volunteers raised $83,000 at the annual fundraising telethon over the weekend. “These funds will be used to enrich AID’s services to the more than 5,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities and mental health needs throughout the Fox Valley area,” Executive Director Lynn O’Shea wrote in an email about the fundraiser. But the organization also hosted a news conference Monday regarding program cuts to respite care in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed state budget. O’Shea and other advocates said the proposed state budget would eliminate respite services to all 136 families the agency serves in Kane and Kendall counties. “We urge voters to contact their state senator and representative, asking them to restore the respite program in the current and future years’ state budgets,” O’Shea stated in an email. Last month, Rauner presented what he called a “turnaround budget” that reduces spending while funding essential government services. The proposed budget still is under debate. Rauner’s proposed budget would cut $16 million from the state’s respite care services, according to Senate Democrats’ budget advisers. AID’s respite program is funded by a $142,944 grant from the Department of Hu-

Metro West Council of Government represents. Rauner press secretary Catherine Kelly previously wrote in an email that, “Governor Rauner is committed to turning around Illinois, and that starts with getting our fiscal house in order after years of neglect. The budget reduces spending while funding essential government services, including increasing education funding and improving public safety. It restructures the core costs of state government and puts Illinois back on a fiscally sustainable path.”

“We need to operate our community.”

Marge de Lacey, 81, a long time resident of Geneva passed away peacefully in the early morning of March 14th at her beloved home. Marge was incredibly courageous during her journey through life and in recent years as she fought to overcome many health challenges. Her family is eternally grateful for the unconditional love and unselfish caring nature that characterized Marge’s life. Her positive outlook, regardless of the circumstances, are strengths we will all treasure and practice in our own lives as we come together to celebrate her life. She is survived by son, Jeff (Lora) de Lacey of Batavia; daughter, Barbie (Tim Kautz) of Geneva; brother in law, Bill of Minnetonka; sister in law, Kathryn of Gurnee, IL; two grandchildren, Collin and Calvin Kautz; as well as several cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Marge’s greatest joy was to be with her family and friends. Most recently, she celebrated her 81st birthday and was once again reunited with all who loved her. Two of her greatest blessings in life were grandson’s Collin and Calvin. She cherished being their grandmother and always looked forward to visits from them or attending one of their sporting events. Marge’s presence will always be felt by those who’ve been touched by her kindness, unwavering spirit, and compassion for others. She was preceded in death by her husband, Stewart de Lacey; mother, Ruth Wheeler; father, Norris Wheeler; sister, Joanne Whitney; and sister, Barbara Krueger. Marge’s family would liked to express their heartfelt thanks to her caregivers Mariya Romaniv and Galyna Gatalevitch, who provided tireless support, respect, and love over many years.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Green clothing, drinks, food and hopefully starting to see some green grass, St. Patrick’s Day – with all of its green – truly means spring is either here or on its way. I personally love St. Patrick’s Day for many reasons, one being the wonderful restaurants in St. Charles that offer special Irish food options; I live for corned beef and cabbage or a good Reuben sandwich! I also have been involved in the St. Patrick’s Parade for many years and love this community event and think, yet again, that the Downtown St. Charles Partnership did a wonderful job of organizing it this year. After being cooped up all winter, it is time to get out and start home projects, find new favorite local restaurants, go shopping around town and also find places to bring your kids to burn off some of that stored-up winter energy. The St. Charles Chamber of Commerce has just the thing to help you with all of those spring needs – the second annual Consumer Expo. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m April 11 the expo will be at the Sportsplex in St. Charles, located at 1400 Foundry St. The schedule is filled with wonderful, fun acts that will perform and keep you and your children entertained. Some of these entertainment acts include a magic show from Magic of Scott Piner; and dance performances from 3rd Street Dance and Theatre Academy, the Beth Fowler School of Dance, the Flannery School of Irish Dance and St. Charles Park District. There also will be appearances from Ozzie, the Kane County Cougar’s mascot; Charlie, the St. Charles Chamber’s mascot; and Sparky, the St. Charles Fire

16 Three seeking 2-year terms on North Aurora library board By ASHLEY SLOBODA

More online

asloboda@shawmedia.com NORTH AURORA – At least one familiar face will return to the Messenger Public Library Board in North Aurora. It’s up to voters to decide who, as well as whether a new member should be seated. Of the nine people seeking election April 7, three are vying for two two-year terms: challenger Jim Hicks and incumbents Dominick Leo and Bill Middleton. Although Hicks doesn’t have the board experience the incumbents have – Middleton, 69, has served about 16 years, and Leo, 72, has served six of the past eight years – he said he wouldn’t join the board unprepared. The 68-year-old said he is a library volunteer and has attended board meetings since September. “I’m here for the long haul,” Hicks said. “I feel the library is one of the true assets to our community … and I want to help keep it that way.” Middleton recognizes the

But, he said, he brings value as one of the longest-serving members. “Frequently, I give the board the historical perspective on why we did something five or 10 years ago,” he said. As board secretary – a position Middleton has held for about six years – he said he also ensures the group follows the rules under the Open Meetings Act. Leo, now retired, said his background as a professional

engineer and certified facility manager would benefit the library during discussions about projects involving upgrades and construction. “Having done industrial engineering, I tend to ask different questions than an architect would ask,” Leo said, adding his different perspective in such conversations could lead to a new idea. If re-elected, Leo said he would be interested in upgrading lighting and mechanical systems to reduce utility and maintenance costs. He noted he also does volunteer work for the library, such as making prizes for children and helping with maintenance. Hicks said he would like to implement a system that would let home-bound senior citizens borrow books. Under such a program, he said, the library would have the patrons’ library cards on file, which would be used to check out books on their request. Volunteers would deliver the materials, he said. “I really like helping people,” he said, explaining it’s not unusual for him to offer pa-

trons assistance when they’re struggling with a task. Middleton said he looks forward to another term because many things are changing, such as new technologies, and he embraces that change. For example, he said, investing in 3D printers might, eventually, be worthwhile. “The library is more than a repository of books,” Middleton said. “It services the intellectual, social and often economic needs of the community, and I would like to be part of that.”

OUR VIEW

Transparency more important than ever Transparency in government always has been important. But these days, in Illinois, it’s vital. The state’s fiscal problems have filtered down to local governments. Area and state elected officials are making tough decisions on what programs and services to fund, and which to eliminate. There might be no more important time for the state’s residents to be informed about the decision-making process at all levels of government so they might

participate by monitoring official actions and offering comment and feedback to public officials. This week, we celebrate that we live in a county where being able to freely ask for information about what our governments are doing is a right. This is Sunshine Week, a national initiative that aims to educate the public about the importance of open government and freedom of information. Participants include news media, civic groups, libraries, nonprofits, schools and others interested

in the public’s right to know. We as journalists are committed to playing a role in holding public officials accountable. It’s why we attend city council and school board meetings. It’s why we file Freedom of Information Act requests for documents about how taxpayer money is spent or ones we believe will detail the inner workings of local governments. But we cannot be alone in making sure the sun is bright when it’s over governments. Local residents can access many public documents.

They can ask questions and demand answers from elected officials. We also hope elected officials are partners committed to transparency. There is no need to take an adversarial position when it comes to openness – indeed, the public likely would embrace a politician who is consistently transparent. Officials can embrace laws about open meetings and records. They can decide not to grumble when FOIA requests are submitted, and realize the effort and time it takes to comply is

worth the public trust doing so builds. We often need to force open the curtains of governmental entities in order to let in the light so we can see what is rightfully ours to view. We hope to one day be able to realistically envision a time when we don’t need a special week to remind residents and elected officials that open government is a right in our country. We aren’t there yet. But together, we can commit to letting the sunshine in, and hope for a brighter future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IS THIS WHY? To the Editor: I’ve never heard anything as obviously false as the Republicans and their policies are for the middle class. Is this why they refuse to close loopholes in the tax code that favor the top 1 percent? Is this why they voted about 56 times to repeal Obamacare – or related measures – without a replacement plan that works? Is this why they blocked Obama’s proposals to rebuild our infrastructure and add millions of jobs? Is this why they objected to raising the minimum wage or equal pay for women? The GOP is dominated by politicians that spend all their time talking about abortion, illegal immigrants and invading Middle East countries (to repeat the disastrous BushCheney policies). No tax reform, no jobs plan, no immigration plan, no foreign policy! Constant criticism of the president is no substitute for policies that would actually benefit the middle class.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM Daum, Lalique, Majorelle, Delatte, A. Walter, and Schneider are some of the famous glass makers working in Nancy, France, in the late 19th and 20th centuries. A few still are creating quality glass vases and sculptures. Many of the makers used their names and the word “Nancy” in their marks. Daum and Majorelle worked together to make an early 20th-century type of vase that is easy to recognize and known as “caged.” Louis Majorelle was a famous furniture designer and decorator. He made many types of metal railings, hardware and exterior trim. He made decorative iron frames that were used by Daum. Mottled glass was blown into the empty spaces in the frame so that the glass was slightly raised between the metal parts. The ﬁnished piece looked like the glass was trapped in a cage. A purple and pink Art Deco caged vase was auctioned in November 2014 by James Julia for $1,244. It was signed “Majorelle Daum Nancy” with the Cross of Lorraine. Look for names with the word Nancy on Art Nouveau and Art Deco glass, especially on large vases. But beware-there have been many fakes and copies made since the 1960s. Some even say “Galli” hoping you will misread the mark. *** Q: I bought a home with a large complete liquid 1920s soda fountain, dispensers, stools and the rest. I’m looking to remove it and sell it, but I’m having trouble ﬁnding what a complete setup with seven seats is worth. It’s made by Liquid. A: Soda fountains were in almost every corner drugstore from the early 1900s to the late 1950s, but it’s un-

usual to find one in a home. Soda fountains are sold at auctions, usually sales of advertising. You can contact an auction house. If it is an original old soda fountain, they will sell it for you and even arrange to get it to their auction site. Your Liquid fountain was made by Liquid Carbonics Manufacturing Company in Chicago, Illinois. The company made liquefied carbon dioxide. It test marketed its first soda fountain in 1903 and sold its first “iceless” soda fountain in 1906. The company name became Liquid Carbonic Corporation in 1926, so your fountain was made between 1906 and 1926. The company merged with General Dynamics in 1958. *** Q: I have a blue glass mug with a picture of Shirley Temple on it. Her signature is underneath her picture. The mug is 4 inches high. How much is this worth? A: Shirley Temple (1928-2014) was a movie star most famous for her roles as a child star. She made her first movie in 1932. Your mug is part of a breakfast set that included a cobalt blue glass bowl, mug and pitcher. They were made by Hazel Atlas Glass Co. and U.S. Glass Co. from 1934 to 1942 and were given away as Wheaties and Bisquick premiums. Some pieces were decorated with the picture of a very young

Shirley, others used a picture of Shirley in her 1936 Captain January costume. Millions of the dishes were made. The mug sells for about $10. *** Q: I have inherited a Rishell phonograph that was originally purchased between the late 1920s and early 1930s. It’s in great condition and still works. I have a few records that work on the machine, too. Does it have any value? A: Your phonograph was made by Rishell Phonograph Co. of Williamsport, Pa. Rishell was in business from about 1916 until at least 1924,

to snip the buttons off old clothes and save them for future use, but somewhere along the way button collecting turned into a hobby. The National Button Society was founded in 1938. You can ﬁnd local button clubs, shows, and contacts on the society’s website, www.nationalbuttonsociety.org. The easiest way to sell a large collection might be to go to a button show and talk to the dealers. Old buttons can be worth 5 cents or $500 each. It takes an expert to determine the price. Mixed bottles of buttons often sell at ﬂea markets for $10-$25. *** Terry Kovel and Kim Kovel answer questions sent to the column.

but it is not a well-known brand even among collectors. We have only seen ﬂoor models by Rishell. A Rishell ﬂoor model in working order could sell for $200 to $300. *** Q: What is a posset pot? A: Posset is a hot drink that was popular in Britain from the 15th through the 19th centuries. It’s also a pudding-like dessert that is made today. The drink typically included curdled milk and wine, ale and spices. That was topped with layers of spicy custard and foam. Posset pots were made of porcelain, silver or other material and have a handle and a short spout. The top layers of the posset were eaten with a spoon and the bottom layer drunk through the spout of the pot. Posset was thought to be a cure for colds or fevers and was also drunk as a toast at weddings. It’s even mentioned in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” *** Q: I have a button collection given to me by my husband’s grandmother. Some are brass, copper, glass and ceramic. I must have about 800 to 1,000 buttons and no two are the same. These are very old buttons and in excellent condition. Where can I sell them?

SOX VS. CUBS: THE CHICAGO CIVIL WARS

WHAT TO WATCH

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

ENEVA – A display about nine paces into the Geneva History Museum’s new traveling exhibit, “Sox Vs. Cubs: The Chicago Civil Wars,” appeases that rare can’t-we-all-just-getalong baseball fan. For the partisan seamhead set, the specially made unity jersey that’s half Cubs pinstripes and half White Sox black might just amount to stitches in time saving none. Whatever your rooting interest in baseball’s oldest intracity rivalry, artifacts for everyone abound in the museum’s 950-square foot feature exhibit, including replica scoreboards of the much larger ones found at Wrigley and U.S. Cellular fields. “We thought this was perfect timing to have an exhibit like this,” museum executive director Terry Emma said. “And I think everybody, you’re either a Cubs or Sox fan, and we’re going to see how that all plays out.” A virtual feature allowing fans to choose their own 10-member Cubs and Sox dream teams will keep official count of which players are selected, a far more calculable measure than the banter patrons have engaged in since the exhibit opened March 7. It runs through May 16, the brainchild of Elmhurst History Museum curator of exhibits Lance Tawzer, a Genevan who diligently gathered materials and interviews before unveiling the display in Elmhurst from May 16 to Sept. 28 of 2014. “People are very passionate about the subject matter, and I was wholly interested in sort of stirring the pot that way and interested in telling the story that way,” Tawzer said. “What we wanted was what we got with debate and argument and people with opinions.” Of course, this is a museum, so knowledge remains the most powerful currency. To that end, an iPad trivia game tests patrons’ knowledge of both teams, with minor league and major league difficulty levels available.

The Geneva History Museum’s seasonal White Sox/Cubs exhibit opened March 7 and runs through May 16.

Take a look “Sox Vs. Cubs: The Chicago Civil Wars” will remain at the Geneva History Museum, 113 S. Third St., through May 16. Cost is $2 for nonmembers and free for members. The museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A recent test run revealed the “minor league” questions to more closely resemble tee ball. Late Cubs legend Ernie Banks was known as “Mr. Cub,” in case you didn’t know, while former Sox slugger Frank Thomas went by “The Big Hurt.” Onlookers clicking over to “major league” discover the requisite challenge right off the proverbial bat. For instance, one Cubs question in that category states that there were nine players to patrol center field for the club during the 1969 season. Of Paul Popovich, Al Spangler and Billy Williams, which one doesn’t fit the bill? In researching the exhibit, Tawzer polled many fans of

both teams at their respective winter fan conventions, and also enjoyed plenty of cooperation from the clubs’ public relations department. A “Media Voices” display includes video testimonies from several print, radio and broadcast personalities. Tawzer interviewed Cubs TV voice Len Kasper in his booth before a game. The White Sox rushed to produce a segment from radio broadcaster and former player Darrin Jackson and sent it Tawzer’s way. “Both teams, I have to say, were pretty great,” Tawzer said. “I was pretty pleased with their reaction.” Emma was sure Genevans and other visitors to the Fox Valley would enjoy the fruits of Tawzer’s labor. As so often happens in museum circles, ideas old and new overlapped, paving the way for “Sox Vs. Cubs” to make its way to Geneva. When Tawzer was helping deconstruct an Elmhurst-originated exhibit on Chicago’s imprint on the candy world at the Geneva History Museum, he spread the word about his baseball work.

Emma said the differences between the two museums – Elmhurst is city-funded, Geneva is nonprofit – were at the core of the transaction. “We just don’t have that kind of funds or staff to develop feature exhibits like this. … So we always look for things to rent,” Emma said. As with all its feature exhibits, Geneva staff developed a local connection, a case on display just outside the main hall. It includes information about baseball’s origins in Geneva, dating to 1868, and also features a program from the Kane County Cougars’ inaugural season in 1991. A ball signed by the 1958 Cubs lies on a middle shelf, on loan from the family of museum administrative assistant Vanessa Quillinan. As Quillinan tells it, her father-in-law, a former Chicago police officer, escorted a former Cubs PR official who was late for a meeting at Wrigley Field. “He said, ‘Stay here. Let me do something for you. I really appreciate this,’ ” Quillinan said. “So he got that ball signed.”

GENEVA BOYS BASKETBALL

Crowds filling in for surging Vikings By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Geneva boys basketball program is in no position to take its hefty fan support for granted. A combination of relatively distant postseason venues and the school’s more ingrained football culture made for some sparse Vikings turnouts in postseasons of the recent past. Coach Phil Ralston recalled a “skeleton crew” of student support during what proved to be a thrilling regional at Wheaton Warrenville South during the 2012-13 season, when the Vikings upset Hinsdale Central before narrowly falling to West Aurora in the final. The Vikings haven’t been outnumbered in the stands – or on the scoreboard – during their exhilarating postseason push this year, which continues at tonight’s IHSA Class 4A NIU Supersectional between the Vikings (29-3) and Lake

Park (25-6). Especially given the quicker trip to DeKalb from Geneva compared to Roselle, the Vikings could have a pseudo-homecourt advantage at the Convocation Center. “Our kids feed off of them on the floor, when they hear the roar from them,” Ralston said of the Vikings’ backers. “I think it’s what makes high school basketball a lot of fun.” The dense collection of blueclad fans – make that green for tonight as the Blue Crue salutes St. Patrick’s Day – has not gone unappreciated. Senior guard Pace Temple credited the team’s student and community-wide following, highlighted by a record crowd for the Geneva Regional championship game between Geneva and St. Charles East, which also was well represented. Another raucous Geneva turnout was treated to a thriller Friday as the Vikings edged Rockford Auburn by three points at the sold-out DeKalb Sectional final.

IHSA Class 4A NIU Supersectional n Who: Geneva (29-3) vs. Lake Park (25-6) n When: 7:30 p.m. today n Of note: The game will be preceded by a 3A supersectional between Rockford Lutheran and Peoria Manual, beginning at 6. ... Tickets cost $10 and will be available at NIU’s Convocation Center before the game. … The winner faces the winner of tonight’s Normal Supersectional between Normal and Simeon in a state semifinal at 8:15 p.m. Friday in Peoria. With ticket prices on the rise for the postseason, the Vikings will aim to continue giving fans bang for their buck. “It’s not ideal, tickets are $10 [for supersectionals] and a lot of that is coming out of kids’ pockets, but a lot of students were going down buying tick-

ets [Monday], taking the fan bus or taking a caravan down,” Temple said. “I think the Blue Crue will yet again be well represented.” Senior forward Nate Navigato said he takes a few moments to soak up the atmosphere these postseason showdowns have created, adding that “every day, they’re coming up with new stuff, new chants, new shirts, new everything.” “You’ve just got to take everything in and just be happy for it, be happy that it happened,” Navigato said. “Enjoy it.” Spectators who show up at NIU tonight would be well served to bring an appreciation for half-court basketball and excellent defense. Lake Park presents a stark contrast to recent Geneva postseason victims such as St. Charles East, Rockford Jefferson and Rockford Auburn. Known as a hard-nosed and

defensive-minded squad, the Lancers are “uber-patient” offensively, Ralston said, often passing 10-plus times a possession. Lake Park has held three of its four postseason opponents below 40 points, with Grayslake North the outlier in a 54-50 regional final in the Lancers’ favor. The Vikings, of course, favor a controlled tempo themselves, likely making for a low-possession matchup in which each trip downcourt carries extra weight. “They play one of the best man-to-man defenses we’ve seen,” Temple said. “They have a very patient offense, which can be dangerous. It’s kind of a clash of what we’ve been playing against, so we’ve got to [regroup] and just really focus on playing Geneva basketball and doing the things we do well. I think it’s going to be a good one, and hopefully we can pull it out.”

Glasgow to join brothers at Michigan

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Tuesday, March 17, 2015

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com The beginning of the Jim Harbaugh era as Michigan’s coach will dawn with a trio of Glasgows on the Wolverines’ roster. Marmion senior Jordan Glasgow committed to Michigan as a preferred walk-on this weekend, he confirmed Sunday. He will join ranks with older brothers Graham (fifth-year senior offensive lineman) and Ryan (senior defensive lineman), both of whom are on scholarship with the Wolverines after starting as walk-ons, Jordan said. Jordan Glasgow had visited Northern Illinois and West-

ern Michigan, both options of which likely would have also resulted in latching on as a walk-on, at least initially. “I felt that if I wanted to compete, compete at the highest Jordan level,” Jordan Glasgow Glasgow said. J o r d a n Glasgow was known more for his running back prowess at Marmion but played safety as a senior, the position he said will be his most likely spot in college. Slot receiver is another possibility in Ann Arbor. Given Michigan’s recent

coaching change from Brady Hoke to Harbaugh, Jordan Glasgow’s ambitions of joining his brothers was put on the back-burner as the transition unfolded. “My brothers are there, so they interact with the coaches quite often, and one of the coaches on the previous coaching staff [defensive line coach Greg Mattison] stayed and that was one of [Ryan’s] favorites coaches, and he knew me, so that kind of helped me out a lot,” Jordan Glasgow said. Jordan Glasgow, an explosive and brawny 6-foot, 205-pound multisport athlete whose football career at

Marmion included injury setbacks, said he thinks he has a major upside at safety considering he only played one year in the secondary. “My senior year was the first year I played safety,” Glasgow said. “I never played it before, and I think I did pretty well, so I think getting more experience will really help, and I think my inexperience at safety really gives me a lot of opportunity [to grow].” While having a pair of older brothers in the program – Ryan is a nose guard, Graham plays center and guard – should create somewhat of a comfort level, joining a program of Michigan’s stature

nonetheless presents a massive challenge. The rebuilding program figures to command even greater attention in the coming years under Harbaugh, the former Wolverine and Bears QB fresh off coaching the San Francisco 49ers. “You don’t really think about how big things are really,” Jordan Glasgow said. “I’m going to college to play football, but I’m going to try to play at one of the most historic programs in the nation with an NFL coach. But I’m trying not to get overwhelmed by the situation. Just think every day you have to work harder than you did last and earn what you get.”

Taylor sets course for ‘perfect landing spot’ Jaclyn Taylor described Creighton’s campus as “long and thin,” a send-up that fits her recent decision to play college women’s volleyball for the Bluejays. That’s because Taylor, a St. Charles North junior setter, narrowed her view shortly after visiting the Omaha, Nebraska school in November. “I really wanted a school that first had good academics, and then also what stood out to me about Creighton was team chemistry,” Taylor said. “All the teams I’ve been on so far have had that great chemistry, and I could just tell from the time I was there, I noticed how the girls interacted. Not only on the court, but when we went out to lunch. And then they have a winning culture, which is great, too.” Taylor, a 6-footer who plays for Club Fusion during the prep offseason, watched Creighton defeat Villanova to claim the outright Big East regular-season title during her visit. A few weeks earlier, Bluejays coaches attended a North home match when Creighton was in the area to play DePaul.

“Everyone I’ve talked to who knows someone who has gone to Creighton or has gone there themselves said nothing but great things,” Taylor said. Taylor also considered Dayton and Notre Dame. Her selection ensures she’ll share a conference with one of North’s other future collegians, outside hitter Claire Anderson. A junior like North’s Daley Krage, a Northwestern commit, Anderson is bound for Big East member DePaul. Jaclyn Taylor With apologies to their middle school days – Taylor at Haines, Anderson at Thompson – stakes will be far greater when they oppose one another beginning in 2016. “We’ve been on the same team for a long time now,” Taylor said, “so it’ll be weird seeing one another on different sides of the net.” North still has another season before that happens, leaving Taylor extra excited about the team’s prospects in the fall. Still, she’s also feeling her

The facility, along the third base/left field concourse, received final approval last week after the final surveying and marking work was complete. “We’re very excited about it, and I know the Diamondbacks are as well, and we’re going to get great use out of it,” Froehlich said. The Cougars and Arizo-

na Diamondbacks signed a two-year player development contract in September, a few weeks after the Cougars formalized plans for several capital improvements. A new video board recently was completed, joining the new bank of prime seating behind home plate that was installed in the fall. Froehlich said construction on a permanent music garden will rev up after the batting cage is complete. “Hopefully now we can catch up now that it’s in place,” Froehlich said. “It’s not a real complicated structure to build.”

BULLS

BLACKHAWKS

Cold war has been more than well-documented By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com

favor of Sharp By MARK POTASH mpotash@suntimes.com To Blackhawks winger Kris Versteeg, it’s pretty simple. “I guess when you play like [expletive], you’re not going to play,” he said. Tis the season for coach Joel Quenneville to send messages, as winger Brandon Saad learned last March and winger Bryan Bickell learned last week. The healthy scratch is Quenneville’s goto move to get a struggling player going, and he wields it liberally at this time of year. Quenneville’s latest target appears to be Versteeg, although he didn’t definitively rule him out of the Hawks’ game Thursday against the New York Islanders. But winger Patrick Sharp, who scored two goals Saturday against the San Jose Sharks and has been buzzing around the net lately, was in Versteeg’s spot on the top line alongside Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa in practice Monday. “Sharpie deserved a chance to move up, and we’re

a tendency to hold on to the puck and look for the highrisk, high-reward play. With Kane on the other wing, it can lead to some highlight-reel goals. But with goals at a premium at this time of year, Quenneville said he wants to see Versteeg be more direct with the puck. “He’s got the ability to make plays, delays,” Quenneville said. “[But] if it’s a slowdown tactic with the checking schemes, now all of a sudden you’ve got five guys back and then we lose pucks. … There are times [when holding on to the puck is appropriate]. But off the rush, we don’t want to get the guys who are behind you to catch up. We want to be attacking them.” Quenneville downplayed his tendency to send messages at this time of year, saying simply, “You’re going to get what you deserve.” So how quickly Versteeg gets the message will determine if and when he gets back in the lineup. “I’m not going to change anything,” Versteeg said. “I’m just going to keep playing the same way. You want to work hard and be a positive influence. If you’re not, you don’t have the right to be in the lineup. Just keep working hard, and, hopefully, get back in.”

Lester had thrown five scoreless innings, allowing only four hits and no walks, before Monday, but that was no comfort. “It doesn’t matter if it’s now or in October – I’m still taking the same mindset,” he said. “I’m still trying to win and succeed and have good results.”

inning.’’ The White Sox’s prized lefthanded pitching prospect walked two of the first four Diamondbacks he faced Tuesday and hit Yasmany Tomas on the foot with a two-strike slider to set up a two-run first. But he finished with two good innings, retiring six of the last seven batters he faced at Salt River Fields. After throwing 28 of his 49 pitches for strikes, Rodon went to the bullpen to throw 15 more pitches. He said he got good extension on his fastball and “threw some good changeups.” All said and done, not a bad day. – Wire reports

SPORTS BRIEFS Lester annoyed by rough start in loss to Padres PEORIA, Ariz. – Cubs pitcher Jon Lester allowed six runs, all earned, on seven hits in 3⅓ innings. He gave up home runs to the Padres’ Matt Kemp and Tommy Medica. The former Red Sox ace didn’t give the usual spring training platitudes afterward. He didn’t make excuses, even though he was working with catcher Welington Castillo for only the second time ever. “I don’t want to go out and get my butt kicked,” he said. “So regardless of what you’re working on, regardless of the time of year, you still want to have good results.”

Rodon adjusts, finishes strong in start SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Carlos Rodon got better as he went along. “It’s still spring training,’’ Rodon said, shaking off a two-run first in his third Cactus League start. “Rough start, just had to make an adjustment and finally made it there in the second

Taj Gibson knows there will come a time when he will have to deal with rumors surrounding coach Tom Thibodeau. After all, no one speaks as highly of Thibodeau as Gibson, who often begins sentences with “Like Thibs always says … ” But being able to recite from “The Book of Thibs” doesn’t mean t h e i n j u r e d Tom Thibodeau big man will dwell on his coach’s future. Not with 14 games left in the regular season and so much on the line. “I can’t think about stuff like that,” Gibson said Sunday when asked if he believed a break-up was coming between the coach and front office after the season. “I’ve got to think about things that I can do. By helping the team, play strong defense, help getting us wins, and the rest takes care of itself.” That’s the mentality Thibodeau would want his players to have. But that doesn’t mean the players have been insulated from what has gone on this season. On the contrary. The cold war between Thibodeau and the front office is more than well-documented. “It would have been nice if things were different, especially with all the expectations this season,” a veteran player said last week when the Bulls were in Philadelphia. “It just feels like there isn’t a whole lot of support for [Thibodeau].” Gibson was asked if it bothered the players to hear

all the rumors. “There’s a part that is, but you also know this is the NBA,” he said. “Guys in media start different things, start rumors every time. It’s just like trade rumors. It’s all a part of the NBA.” At least Thibodeau and general manager Gar Forman have been on speaking terms. Forman has been seen talking with Thibodeau at the Advocate Center and going in and out of his office before games. But they won’t be having dinner together anytime soon. Although there are more than a handful of issues between the two sides, the biggest continues to be how to pace the team. The front office has stated since the first day of training camp that the main goal was keeping the players healthy entering the playoffs. That meant minutes restrictions for some, such as Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, while others would be excused from practice drills that were considered hard on the body. It hasn’t worked out. The Bulls have been as injured as any team during Thibodeau’s tenure, and because of the handcuffs in practice, the chemistry Thibodeau’s teams usually develop has yet to appear. Meanwhile, Thibodeau has played the situation perfectly, adhering to every demand, coloring in the lines and letting the standings and body count in the training room speak for itself. The hope now is that help is coming soon. Gibson (left ankle) said he has started playing one-onone, pushing the ankle, while Jimmy Butler (left elbow) and Derrick Rose (right knee) are on schedule, according to Thibodeau. “You find yourself asking if you were playing, could you be a difference-maker on at least one or two plays?” Gibson said. “So that’s frustrating.”

just looking for some more [from Versteeg],” Quenneville said. “His last game wasn’t very good.” Sharp was on the receiving end of one of Quenneville’s messages earlier this season. Although he never was benched, he saw his ice time drop in February while playing mostly on the third and fourth lines. But with Sharp emerging from his lengthy slump, Quenneville is reuniting what was arguably the top line in Kris Versteeg the NHL last season. With three skilled, two-way players, the trio can shut down opponents’ top lines while still being productive. “Three guys who can all make plays and score goals,” Quenneville said. “I’m sure they’re excited about the opportunity of making it work together.” Versteeg has been one of the Hawks’ most consistent performers this season, but his play has dropped off since linemate Patrick Kane’s injury Feb. 24. In the seven games since, Versteeg has no goals and one assist. In his past six games, he has had only four shots on goal. Versteeg always has had

In India, peacocks are protected by the government. No one can hunt them.

In India, many people welcome guests to their homes with a rangoli. This is a colorful design made on the floor in front of the door. These designs are found all across India.

Find the two identical peacocks. Fill in the missing vowels below to reveal what the colors of India’s flag symbolize.

A rangoli is symmetrical. That means if you drew a line down the middle, the design is the same on each side. To draw a rangoli, it helps to use graph paper. 1. On a piece of paper draw two crossed lines in the center of the paper, dividing the paper into four equal parts.

2. Start your drawing on one of the lines, and only draw it on one half of the paper. Keep your design small and simple.

It makes sense that a colorful country like India would have a colorful national bird– the peacock!

Packers’ roster makeup sets standard for Pace

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Tuesday, March 17, 2015

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com When Ryan Pace took the podium for the first time as the general manager of the Bears, some of the first words to come from his mouth were, “For the Bears to have sustained success, we must build through the draft.” Immediately, Pace’s vision contrasted his predecessor, Phil Emery, who’s on record as saying his pro personnel chops were his strength, but the draft held more unchartered waters. Emery’s drafting record suggests those waters were choppy – he left the new regime Alshon Jeffery, Kyle Long and a slew of question marks from three draft classes. Then there’s Green Bay, a club Pace in his short time in Chicago repeatedly has referenced as the type of organization his Bears will try to emulate. “Honestly, I respect what Green Bay’s done,” Pace said. “I respect what Ted Thomp-

SPORTS BRIEF Bears add depth, sign OG Ducasse Adding depth to the offensive line, the Bears signed former second-round pick Vladimir Ducasse, who spent the 2014 season with the Vikings. A 6-foot-2, 325-pounder, Ducasse played in 13 games with six starts for Minnesota last season. The Haiti native has started six games at left guard, four at right guard and one as a sixth-eligible lineman in his career. The Jets selected Ducasse 61st overall in 2010. He played in only two games as a rookie before appearing in every game in each of the next three seasons, but could not develop into an established starter. The Bears have Matt Slauson, Kyle Long, Michael Ola and Ryan Groy on the roster at the guard position. Ducasse will add to the competition to be a backup. He played with Slauson in New York from 2010 through ’12. – Wire report

son’s done. … They built through the draft, and they are sustaining success because of that.” A fascinating statistic emerged on Twitter over the weekend that stunningly illustrates the draft-and-develop model the Packers have fine-tuned to perfection, and the one the Bears and Ryan Pace virtually every other rebuilding club vies to replicate. According to @PackerUpdate, of the 60 Packers under contract, only former Bear Julius Peppers has played a game for another team. For all of the Bears fans pining for their new GM to pick up the pace in free agency while Packers football czar Ted Thompson probably was on vacation somewhere during the first week of money spending mayhem, let that sink in for a moment.

ber the Bears have on their entire roster after signing Antrel Rolle. In addition to Rolle, Jay Cutler was someone else’s pick, and another of the Bears’ first-rounders, Shea McClellin, faces an uphill battle toward earning a spot on Pace and John Fox’s 53 for 2015. Now, briefly getting back to Thompson’s Packers – who are tied with the Super Bowl champion Patriots for most consecutive postseason appearances with five – they probably aren’t playing in the NFC Championship game last year without Peppers, arguably Green Bay’s most disruptive defender and a smashing free-agent success regardless of how rare it might’ve been for Thompson. Letroy Guion, it should be mentioned, was their other pro personnel acquisition last year, and was an instrumental cog up front that likely already would be under contract with the green and gold if not for his offseason legal problems. Similarly, the Lions don’t win 10 games without Golden

Tate and James Ihedigbo, and the ascending Vikings best receiver and interior penetrator aren’t homegrown, either. Free agency is a valuable, and necessary, tool. Heck, after this unforgettable offseason, who’s to say trading in the NFL won’t soon be another vital team-building mechanism. But before fans get up in arms over the Bears’ perceived lack of activity since one swing for the fences (McPhee) and a pair of patchup jobs (Royal and Rolle), remember that this is the time of year for supplementing draft success, not attempting to correct years of egregious mistakes in the draft with a spending bonanza. From Lovie Smith’s Buccaneers in 2014 to Andy Reid’s “dream team” Eagles three seasons earlier, the NFL is littered with cautionary tales whose message is resounding: The bulk of foundation that must be laid to consistently compete for Super Bowls comes in April and May – not in early March.

ARTHUR ARKUSH’S BEARS 2015 NFL MOCK DRAFT 1.0 What will the Chicago Bears do, not just at pick No. 7 of the first round, but through the rest of the draft? This is a first pass-through at what the Bears could do in the first six rounds. Mock Drafts are more for fun and conversation than anything else, and we hope you’ll have a blast with ours. But please keep in mind they will continue to change several more times between now and the draft. Round 1: OLB Randy Gregory/Nebraska His floor is lower than GM Ryan Pace would like for his first-ever pick, but Gregory’s length, explosion and flexibility around edge could make him Vic Fangio’s Aldon Smith.

Round 2: WR Sammie Coates/Auburn OC Adam Gase and WR coach Mike Groh form a dream tandem to develop Coates, who’s raw but possesses No. 1 traits, most importantly top-end speed. (See: Demaryius Thomas’ growth under Gase.)

Round 5: DE B.J. Dubose/Louisville At 6-foot-4, 284, Dubose has an intriguing blend of size and rush ability to warrant interest as a five tech, plus the Louisville connection to OLBs coach Clint Hurtt.

Round 3: DE Preston Smith/ Mississippi State Desperate for five-techniques, they land ideal fit in Smith, with the height to see over tall offensive linemen, strength to shut down the run game, and enough penetration skills to figure into the pass rush.

Round 4: RB Mike Davis/ South Carolina A John Fox-type of back who gets stronger as the game wears on, Davis has the patience, vision and finishing capability to instantly complement Forte, potentially being his heir apparent.

Round 6: CB Ladarius Gunter/Miami Senior Bowl standout who competes hard and boasts the coveted length, ball skills and run-support willingness to be molded by accomplished secondary coach Ed Donatell.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: We are writing in response to the question you printed (Jan. 13) about where to find affordable counseling. Your suggestions were helpful, but we want to share another one: 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember telephone number that, where available, connects people to information about critical, free or low-cost health and human services in their community. 2-1-1 reaches about 270 million people (90 percent of the U.S. population), covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Canada. It is a free, confidential resource. Similar to dialing 9-1-1 for emergencies, calling 2-1-1 helps people seeking training, employment, food pantries, shelter, assistance for aging parents, addiction prevention programs for teens, affordable housing options and support groups. It provides a one-stop service for community referrals.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Everyone knows someone who needs help. 2-1-1 is there for them. – Staff Of 2-1-1, Orange County, California Dear Staff: I’m pleased to pass along this important resource, which serves such a large portion of the population. Thank you for taking the time to offer it to my readers. Dear Abby: I am 28 and engaged to marry a wonderful man, “Ryan.” Before I met him, I was involved in an affair with my married boss and was deeply in love with him. (I still am.) We continued our affair even after I met Ryan, and now I think I’m pregnant. I told my boss and, naturally, he’s not happy about it. I don’t know how to tell Ryan or if I even want to. I have always

wanted to be a mother, and now I have the chance. But I may end up doing it alone in poor financial shape. I also won’t have a home to live in once my old-fashioned mother finds out I’ve gotten myself pregnant before marriage. Any advice? – Scared Stupid In New Jersey Dear Scared Stupid: Yes. Take a pregnancy test to determine if you really are pregnant. If it turns out that you are, then you must tell your fiance everything. Even if Ryan walks away, the baby’s father will be legally responsible for child support. It is important that you also tell your mother what’s going on. She may not be thrilled to hear the news, but I doubt she will put you and her grandchild-to-be out on the street. A generation or two ago that might have happened, but no longer. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Treat stress fractures quickly to prevent further damage Dear Doctor K: What is a stress fracture?

Dear Reader: A patient of mine once asked me the same question, but with a twist: “In the emergency room they said I had a stress fracture. That’s ridiculous, right? I mean, they’re blaming stress for causing nearly every symptom these days. But how can stress cause a bone to break?” It’s not emotional or mental “stress” that the word refers to in a stress fracture. It is stress – unusual physical pressure – placed on a bone that causes it to break. And the break typically does not separate the two ends of the bone. The X-ray, CT scan or MRI scan often shows no abnormality in the shape of the bone. Instead, there is a hairline crack inside the bone. In young people, stress fractures can result from overexertion or prolonged high-impact exercise, such as running or tennis. But they also occur in middle-aged or elderly people, especially women, with thinning bones. These people may develop stress fractures even as a result of normal daily activities, such as walking. In the feet, stress fractures most often occur in the metatarsal bones, the long bones leading to

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff the toes. But they can also occur in other parts of the body. All fractures, including stress fractures, require immediate attention. An untreated fracture might not heal properly and could result in deformity, persistent pain or both. One warning sign of a stress fracture is difficulty walking. Don’t be fooled, however. It’s sometimes possible to walk on a broken foot. Check to see whether you have any pain or tenderness directly over the bone when you touch it lightly. Such focal pain may indicate a fracture, especially if it continues after you’ve rested briefly and followed the RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) regimen. Other symptoms of a stress fracture include bruising and possible redness and swelling. Whatever you do, don’t continue exercising if you have localized pain over a bone. You might break it completely. If you suspect that you have a stress fracture, see your doctor.

He or she may start by ordering an X-ray. However, it can take two weeks for evidence of a stress fracture to appear on an X-ray, and some stress fractures never show up on one. Your doctor may have to diagnose the condition by feeling the area, or ordering other imaging tests such as a bone scan or an MRI. If you do have a stress fracture, your doctor will probably recommend rest. He or she will likely also prescribe some type of immobilizing device, such as a special hard-soled shoe or a fracture boot. Typically, stress fractures heal within four to six weeks. The best way to prevent a stress fracture is to avoid sudden increases in activity or exercise. Instead, build up your exercise regimen gradually. Wear well-cushioned shoes to reduce the impact on your feet. Warm up before you exercise. Limber muscles allow better joint motion and flexibility, which in turn help cushion the impact on your bones.

Teens need spending money Dr. Wallace: My parents are not wealthy, but they are far from being poor. I’m 13 and I never have any money for anything. I’m too young to earn any money, and my parents refuse to give me money because they say that I don’t need any and that their parents didn’t give them any when they were young. Both of my parents were born in Korea. Maybe if you suggest that teenagers need a little money they might reconsider. I hope so. – Nameless, Garden Grove, California Dear Nameless: Maybe when you show the following information to your parents, they might decide to allow you to have a little spending money. Be sure they read the newspaper today. International Communications Research conducted a survey and found that 84 percent of teens between 13 and 17 receive spending money from their parents as needed and the remaining 16 percent receive money from working. The survey didn’t mention the percentage of teens who never have spending money, but I’m positive the percentage is extremely low. Forty-one percent of the surveyed teens receive an allowance, and 80 percent of them said the allowance was tied to completing household chores. Is it possible that your parents would agree to this arrangement? Discuss this with Mom and Dad. I agree that teens should have a little spending money. Dr. Wallace: About a month ago, I learned that my cousin had an eating disorder. My aunt said she was suffering from bulimia and was going to get

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace professional help. Last weekend my mother and I went to Charlotte to visit my aunt and cousin. When I saw my cousin, I was really shocked. I thought she was going to be a walking skeleton, but she looked pretty normal to me. She may have even gained a couple of pounds since I saw her last. I didn’t want to ask a bunch of dumb questions so I didn’t really ask her about the bulimia her mom had told my mom about. But she did tell me that she was in therapy now and was hoping to overcome her eating disorder. Now I’m unsure what to think. I thought people with eating disorders were extremely thin. Is this true? – Gayle, Hammond, Louisiana Dear Gayle: Many bulimics look perfectly normal or even slightly overweight. Unlike anorexics, bulimics often gorge themselves on food, and then vomit or use a laxative to quickly eliminate the food from their body. This is referred to as bingeing and purging. The only outward sight of bulimia is the damage that might occur from constant vomiting, such as swollen or red eyes or puffiness around the throat. All eating disorders pose serious health risks. They are a form of addictive behavior, and most sufferers need psychological counseling to overcome them. • Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.

TODAY – Follow through with the ideas and plans that you’ve been mulling over. Your instincts are good, and although there may be a few minor lingering issues in your personal life, it would be a mistake to let them impede your professional progress. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will face problems with authority figures if you haven’t been playing by the rules. Diligently keeping all of your documents in order will relieve some pressure. Do what’s right. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Stay on top of your workload. Someone from your past will help you remember your youthful and carefree self and the goals you aspired to. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Making promises you can’t keep will not lead to popularity. Overindulgence and extravagance will concern your peers. Get back on track before matters escalate and complaints are lodged. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Enroll in seminars, courses or groups that will stimulate your intellect and increase your skills. The information you learn and the friends you make will serve you well, both personally and professionally. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Expect headaches if you have overspent or been careless. Pare down your standard of living in order to free up cash for unexpected expenses. Put safety and responsibility first. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Passion and romance will figure prominently today. A special liaison with a loved one will strengthen your bond and be a source of pleasure and additional security. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Resolve to take on a new challenge. Sticking to the same routine will lead to boredom and dissatisfaction. Choose an activity, pastime or hobby that interests you, and take the plunge. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Move forward with personal changes that promise to improve your status and outlook. Taking a leadership role will increase your confidence and lead to new opportunities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You are in need of some down time. Struggles on the job or at home will take a toll on your health. Avoid group activities for now and treat yourself to some pampering. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Look for individuals who are in a position to help you reach your goals. Present your ideas and listen to the advice that’s offered. A reunion will bring about a prosperous encounter. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t wait for someone to do things for you. You know what needs to be done and how to do it, so get moving. Being proactive will help you advance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Others may expect you to act on their behalf. Don’t take on more than you can handle. Make it known in no uncertain terms that your own tasks take top priority.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

With middle values, jump in a suit

CELEBRITY CIPHER

David Lloyd George, who was the British prime minister from 1916 to 1922 and is the only Welshman to have held that post, said: “Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.” To begin the week, we are looking at replying to partner’s takeout double. As I mentioned yesterday, many inexperienced players bid the suit that they prefer at a minimum level, regardless of hand strength. But that is wrong. Don’t hope for a second chance to cross the chasm between partscore and game. By an unpassed hand, a simple bid shows 0-8 points. With 9-11 points (or a very suitable eight), it is right to jump in a suit – as South does in today’s deal. (With 12-plus points, South would start with a cue-bid of opener’s suit; here, two hearts. Also, a passed hand lowers these ranges by two points.) Over South’s two-spade advance, North has an easy raise to four spades. However, even a wellbid contract may require careful handling. What should South do after West leads the club jack? Declarer is missing three aces and is faced with a third-round club loser. If South leads a trump at trick two, he should lose that club trick and go down one. Declarer must eradicate that club loser immediately by playing a diamond honor from the dummy at trick two. Suppose West takes that trick and perseveres in clubs. Declarer wins in the dummy and cashes the two diamond winners, discarding his last club. Then South draws trumps as quickly as possible.
