Big plans for Elburn Public Works Department ELBURN – The modernization of the village’s wastewater treatment facility continues to make progress in Elburn. There are plans for improvements to the water tower on First Street, as well as a water main extension and a road repaving project. Residents can expect to see sidewalk improvement work done in the village’s downtown area, and a new salt storage facility is to be built on North Street. The Elburn Public Works Department has a busy year planned, with some highlights emerging Monday night as the village’s budgeting process is put in motion. The wastewater treatment plant project remains a significant project, as the village has planned fee increases for water and sewer, each year through 2017 to pay for the modernization, which ultimately will cost more than $9.6 million. Trustees on Monday
approved the increases that will take effect in May. Water fees will be $3.96 per 100 cubic feet, up from the current cost of $3.88. The sewer fees will rise to $5.17 per 100 cubic feet, an increase of $1.35 per 100 cubic feet of water. John Nevenhoven, the village’s public works director, said a customer who uses 700 cubic feet of water can expect to pay about $9.50 more a month. Increases in the sewer fee are planned through 2017, with the cost to be $6.52 per 100 cubic feet in 2016 and $7.87 per 100 cubic feet in 2017. Nevenhoven said excavation work is underway for a new building, as part of the wastewater treatment project. Concrete has been poured, and there is electrical
work being done. He said the modernization project should be complete by May 2016. Also on Monday, Nevenhoven spoke about several other projects. For instance, there will be work on the water tower, and there will be a water main extension, from First and Pierce streets, west to Pierce and Gates streets. The work can start in May if it is approved as part of the village’s budget. Nevenhoven also talked about street maintenance, a salt storage facility and downtown improvements. Those projects would be paid for out of the motor fuel tax fund. Nevenhoven said there are plans to do $500,000 in road repaving. “It’s not a complete rebuild,” Nevenhoven said, adding “it’s going to be more comprehensive than what we’ve done in the past.” He said he would not expect residents to see road closures later this year, but there
could be some temporary lane closures. The salt storage facility, which Nevenhoven said would cost about $100,000, is planned to be built at the public works offices at 422 E. North St. in Elburn. He said the village now can store about 100 tons at a time, and the supply is covered with a tarp. The new facility would expand storage space to 500 tons, and it would be protected by a roof. The downtown project would replace the sidewalks in the area, which Nevenhoven said are “pretty well beat up.” Sidewalks would be replaced from North Street to Shannon Street, on both sides of the street. Nevenhoven said there would be access to the businesses during the construction.

Batavia aldermen table discussion of land-cash fees for D-101 By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Aldermen have decided to delay discussion of increasing land-cash contributions for Batavia School District 101 until after the April 7 election. The issue was up for discussion at Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting. Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke told aldermen he discussed the issue with Batavia School Superintendent Lisa Hichens on Tuesday.
“The school board has not had the opportunity to see the [proposed] ordinance,” Schielke said. State statute allows for municipalities to impose landcash fees on developers. The city’s current land-cash ordinance has not been revised since May 2000. Schielke also noted the April 7 election is contested. Eight candidates are running for three seats on the Batavia School Board, and there also is a contested race on the Batavia City Council.
Aldermen and school board members are now set to discuss the issue in a joint meeting on June 2. “It will allow for an educational and frank discussion,” Schielke said. Batavia plan commissioners have recommended approving an increase in land values on a stepped basis over three years. The current land value of $100,000 per acre would increase to $130,000, 90 days after approval of the ordinance, according to the recommendation.
STC man, woman face felony drug charges By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A traffic stop that was initiated because the 54-year-old passenger was wanted on a warrant led to more charges against him and his driver, a 26-year-old St. Charles woman, city police said. Diana R. Roberts and Johnny L. Williams, both of the 1200 block of Indiana Avenue in St. Charles, were stopped Friday because an officer recognized Williams and knew he was wanted on a Kane County warrant, Deputy Chief Dave Kintz said. The warrant carried a charge of possession of mar-
Johnny L. Williams
Diana R. Roberts
ijuana, he said. Williams was taken into custody, as was Roberts, who had prescription medication that wasn’t hers, Kintz said. Officers at the Kane County jail found bags of heroin on Williams, Kintz said, noting a small amount also was found on Roberts. According to Kane Coun-
ty court records, Williams was charged with manufacturing/delivery of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony. His bond was set at $100,000 with 10 percent to apply, records show. Roberts was charged with possession of a controlled substance, a Class 4 felony, according to records. Records indicate her bond was set at $10,000 with 10 percent to apply. They remained in custody Tuesday afternoon, according to online records. Roberts is expected in court at 9 a.m. March 11, and Williams is expected in court at 9 a.m. March 13.
The land value would then increase to $160,000 at the first anniversary of the ordinance approval, and to $190,000 at the second anniversary. Commissioners also recommended approving a request from the Batavia School District to use their land area and population criteria for individual schools. The school district has requested the city to revise its tables to increase the minimum required acreage for each school type. The request would increase the required
minimum acreage for elementary schools from 11 to 15 acres, middle schools from 28 to 35 acres and high schools from 50 to 80 acres. The district also wants to reduce the number of students each school type can accommodate, with the exception of elementary schools. As proposed, middle schools would be reduced from 1,200 students to 900 students, and high schools would be reduced from 2,000 students to 1,500 students. Elementary schools would remain at 600 students.
Garbage truck’s fuel leak leads to brief evacuation of Batavia library By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Waste Management cleaned up diesel fuel that leaked from a garbage truck Tuesday morning at the Batavia Public Library. The fuel leak caused the evacuation of the lower level of the library for about 45 minutes because of the smell of diesel fuel, Batavia Deputy Fire Chief Randy Banker said. The library is at 10 S. Batavia Ave. in downtown Batavia. Firefighters were called to the scene at 9:35 a.m. and found a small puddle of die-
sel fuel in the lower parking area, as well as a trail of diesel oil exiting the lot. The source was traced to a garbage truck that was leaking diesel fuel, Banker said. The lower level of the library was ventilated, and the building was turned over to library officials. The library’s lower level was reopened at about 10:30 a.m., Banker said. The evacuation caused the cancellation of the library’s storytime at 10 a.m., and the library’s 11 a.m. storytime had to be moved to the library’s main level, Batavia Library Director George Scheetz said.

COVER STORY
GENEVA MAN ON TRIAL
Shadwick King charged with two counts of first-degree murder in wife’s death News sent to your phone
By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – A 12-member jury Tuesday afternoon heard attorneys’ opening statements and testimony from three witnesses during the second day of a Geneva murder trial. Shadwick King, 47, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the July 6 death of his wife, Kathleen. The courtroom was standing-room only during opening statements, which lasted about 70 minutes. King killed his wife, changed her clothes and left her body on Union Pacific railroad tracks near their Geneva home, Assistant State’s Attorney Greg Sams said to the jury. “That man sitting right there, Shadwick King … strangled to death his wife, Kathleen King,” Sams said, fully extending his left arm to point a finger at King. Sams immediately was followed by King’s attorney, Kane County Public Defender Kelli Childress. Family members describe King as a gentle giant who would walk away from confrontations, Childress said. “Shadwick King did not murder his wife,” Childress said to the jury. “No one murdered his wife. Kathleen King did not die by homicide.” Sams and Childress both addressed a text message-heavy relationship that Kathleen King had with a man from Boston that she met in spring 2014 while at military training in Texas. From 11:30 p.m. July 5 to about 2 a.m. July 6 Shadwick and Kathleen King were at The Dam Bar and Grill in downtown Geneva, Sams said. Surveillance footage from the bar showed Kathleen King texting on her phone multiple times during the evening. Kathleen King was sending messages to the Boston man, and at one point, asked him to marry her, Sams said.

Later that night, Shadwick King looked at her phone, saw the messages and texted “Stay away from my wife.” Kathleen King later contacted the man through Facebook at about 5:15 a.m. July 6 and told him if he received strange messages, it was because her husband had her phone. Kathleen King bought an iPhone after her husband threw her previous phone in a small lake or pond once he found out about the man a few days after she came back from training, Sams said. He also checked the Boston man’s Facebook profile and checked his wife’s bank activity often on a desktop computer at their home in
the weeks following her return from training. Sams told the jury he was not going to ask them to like everything Kathleen King did. “The choices that she made does not mean she needed to be killed,” Sams said of Kathleen King. ••• A female later identified as Kathleen King was spotted at about 6:39 a.m. July 6 on the southernmost Union Pacific Railway tracks south of Esping Park, 227 Briar Lane in Geneva by a train operator on another track. Kathleen King’s head lay against the tracks, and police noted her body was in an awk-
ward position, Sams said. Her clothes also appeared to be put on hastily, and her iPhone was found upright near her body against the railroad tracks, he said. Sams said Shadwick King appeared apathetic when talking about his wife’s text messages with the other man during police questioning, but Childress said King cried multiple times during the questioning. “The evidence will show that Shad King never laid a harmful hand on his wife,” Childress said to the jury. Childress wrote on a large dry erase board “Police officers tend to twist theories
into facts” and attributed the quote to Mark Safarik, the criminal profiler the prosecution brought on to King’s case. Safarik did not review all the evidence gathered in the case, Childress said. Childress also said the forensic pathologist who conducted Kathleen King’s autopsy noted she died of asphyxia but did not specify a cause because the pathologist simply did not know how she asphyxiated. The second day of the Shadwick King trial ended with the jury hearing from the first three witnesses – Geneva Police Sgt. George Carbray and two Union Pacific engineers. A few women in the gallery began to cry when a few images of Kathleen King’s body were shown on TV monitors located throughout the courtroom. Shadwick King, wearing a striped button-down shirt on Tuesday, also appeared upset by the images. Prosecutors objected multiple times to the defense team’s multiple attempts to reference an apparent report by Union Pacific personnel that Kathleen King still might have been breathing when she was found on the tracks. Carbray said he asked dispatchers to send an EMS to the scene, but did not perform lifesaving measures because he could not detect a pulse, and she appeared to have been dead for some time. The third day of King’s trial is scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. today.

‘Luxury’ treatment facility proposed for former Glenwood school property By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com CAMPTON TOWNSHIP – The former Glenwood School for Boys property is being proposed to be used as a “luxury alcoholism and substance abuse treatment facility,” said an attorney representing the developers. Kiva Recovery had proposed a similar use through annexation to Campton Hills, but in January 2013, the village board voted, 4-2, against the annexation. “We have absolutely no affiliation or connection whatsoever to Kiva,” said St. Charles attorney Andrew Kolb, who is representing Maxxam Partners LLC, the company looking to redevelop the former school property. Kiva had vowed to go to Kane County for approval,

Andrew Kolb St. Charles attorney representing Maxxam Partners LLC but that did not happen. The proposal was controversial, as some village residents thought the facility’s clients would be dangerous and cause crime. The insurance carrier for Campton Hills recently agreed to pay $500,000 to Kiva Recovery in a settlement agreement, records show. The settlement was to avoid a lawsuit over the annexation denial, officials said. Maxxam Partners has not made a formal application yet, Mark VanKerkhoff, director of the Kane County Development and Community Services Department,
wrote in an email. VanKirkhoff’s email states Maxxam Partners’ legal counsel, Kolb, attended a staff-level meeting with the county development department. VanKerkhoff directed questions to Kolb, who said the meeting was introductory to county officials. “The facility will be private pay,” Kolb said. “It will be self-pay and for people with insurance that will cover this, or a combination.” As to whether a zoning issue is involved with the redevelopment, Kolb said he could not comment further.

MAPLE PARK – A local farming family bought about 400 acres divided among various parcels on Beith Road near Maple Park, according to property transfer records. Virgil Township resident Roger Biddle said his family bought the acreage from the trust of another longtime area farmer, William Snow, who died last year. “My three brothers and I, we farm together, and we have since we moved down here in 1966,” Biddle said. Biddle said he was executor of Snow’s estate. He said all of it, including Snow’s home farm, was bought by various Biddle family members. “I signed all the paperwork for Bill Snow. The land was purchased from the William Snow estate,” Biddle said. “We are going to farm

Maple Park seeks applicants for trustee posts By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – With no candidates running in the spring election, Maple Park plans to round out its Village Board by appointments. Village Clerk Liz Peerboom said the village began seeking applications for the three trustee posts the day after Maple Park leaders knew there were no write-in candidates for the April 7 election. Incumbents Debra Armstrong, Patricia Lunardon and Steve Nowak – whose terms expire April 30 – are not seeking another term. The village will accept applications until all positions are filled, Peerboom said. She said the terms will be for two years. Applicants must be village residents, she said, noting their residency must span at least one year. They
“We want to get to know the person before we bring them in and discuss it with them.” Liz Peerboom Maple Park clerk must provide information, such as their address, phone number, email address, occupation and qualifications. “We want to get to know the person before we bring them in and discuss it with them,” Peerboom said. Applications are available at the village office, 302 Willow St., Maple Park, and on the village website, www.villageofmaplepark.org, Peerboom said. She said residents also may contact her by email, at epeerboom@villageofmaplepark.com, to obtain a copy by email or fax. As of midday Tuesday, nobody had contacted Peer-
boom about an application, she said. Having multiple vacancies on the board could make it difficult for committees to meet and for the board to make quorum, for which four members are needed, Peerboom said. The board comprises six trustees and the village president. It meets on the first Tuesday of each month, and the Committee of the Whole meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Committees meet throughout the month as needed. Call Peerboom at 815-8273309 for information.

Some of their looks included $800 leather-and-steel gauntlets, shimmering suits of chain mail and hand-pounded steel body armor. The gear is bought, but fighters often trade and barter to obtain their desired accouterments. DeKalb resident Lauren Elder, or Susanna Herst as she’s known by her comrades, spent about $40 and hundreds of hours over the span of a year making a nearly head-totoe set of steel body armor for herself. Her persona is completed with a sword made of rattan, a wood commonly used to make furniture. The armor helped the 28-year-old withstand and react to each clip while she battled with Polli. “My ideal is the knight in shining armor,” Elder said. “You can come out in plastic and sports gear and hide it, which is perfectly valid, but I wanted to wear the armor.” Competitors come to the group from different walks of life. But whether they are college students or graphic designers, a common love of history connects them. Unlike the commonly known live-action role playing based in fantasy, the SCA is a historical reenactment group akin to Civil War re-enactors. They travel across the country to tournaments and wars, but also have one-on-one combat locally. There’s a sense of escapism
to the re-enactment. But often SCA life spills over into real life. Aleid van Groningen, also known as Norm Read, 53, of Kingston, wooed the woman who would become his wife during a feast followed by dancing years ago. “She had known me by my reputation as a fighter and thought I was some sort of brutish sword-jock type,” Read said. “But then she saw me performing in a play, and she thought, ‘Maybe he’s not so one-dimensional.’ ” Being a re-enactor isn’t all about fighting. Malta resident Rachel Scheffler, 32, is the leader of the local barony. Known as Baroness Epona Brodin, she spends most of her time in the group planning events, although she also paints silk banners and embroiders. She said she spent 15 years in the SCA before stepping into combat. “I thought it would hurt, and it didn’t,” Scheffler said. “I basically got my bell rung. It was exciting. Instantly, your adrenaline kicks in and you’re like ‘I get to hit my friend in the head with a big stick and they’re going to ask me to do it again.’ ” Underneath the armor, chain mail and personas, Scheffler said the society is about something that even those without an inkling about medieval times can understand. “You get a lot of good, helpful people in the SCA,” Scheffler said. “We want more people to come play our game.”

MAPLE PARK – Sir Seamus MacBain gripped his sword with hardened leather gauntlets before striking his opponent’s head with debilitating force. Dust swirled around the battling pair, landing on their shields and steel helmets momentarily before another blow roiled the air. MacBain and his opponent, Susanna Herst, continued their deadly dance for 20 minutes. Then, MacBain walked out of the ring, took off his helmet and turned from an Irish knight from the Middle Ages into James Polli, the man who people outside of the Society for Creative Anachronism know. Polli is one of about 35 people involved in the local chapter of the international society, commonly referred to as the SCA. Through fighting and fellowship, they try to recreate the period between the sixth and 16th centuries as they should have been. “We found the SCA has a nice combination of getting to play like a knight we dreamed of when we [were] children,” said the 41-year-old Elgin resident “and the historical research aspect, so we can actually learn more about what it was like back then.” The locals, who hail from the Barony of Carraig Ban, practice at Promise Equestrian Center in Maple Park. They are trying to introduce horses into their combat with the help of Leopoldo Lastre, the executive director for the Tilted Quintain, a nonprofit studying historical horsemanship. First, Lastre said, they have to get the horses used to the sounds and sights of medieval combat. At a recent practice at the equestrian center, a handful of fighters donned garb mod-

PAULINE COOPER
How to submit
Pauline Cooper, 84, of St. Charles, passed away peacefully Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at Presence St. Joseph Hospital surrounded by the love and prayers of her family. Pauline was born on June 22, 1930 to proud parents Gustav and Edna (Anderson) Blomberg in Harvard, Illinois. She grew up on her family’s farm just outside of Harvard. Pauline attended a one room school house until 8th grade and she graduated with the class of 1948, from Harvard High School. After high school, she went onto Swedish Covenant Teaching Hospital for Nursing Training, where she received her nursing certificate. She returned to school at The College of Saint Francis in Joliet and received her BA degree in 1978. Pauline went to a church picnic during nursing school, and was introduced to Darwin Cooper by his sister Iona. From that first meeting they knew they were meant to be together. They were united in marriage on September 12, 1951 on her family farm outside of Harvard. They made their home in Savanna where C. Darwin was a school teacher. Pauline and Darwin were blessed with their first son, David, while in Savannah. They lived there for a couple of

They moved to Downers Grove for a couple years, then to West Chicago where they bought their first home. The family was complete when the good Lord gave them one more son, Jonathan. In 1964, they moved to St. Charles where they spent the rest of their years. Pauline was a Registered Nurse. She worked in hospitals at the start of her career, until finding a home working for Doctors Wiltrakis and Liesen for over 30 years, until her retirement in 1991. Pauline was a devoted member of Grace Lutheran Church of Lily Lake for 41 years. When Pauline wasn’t taking care of patients, she loved to quilt. Her quilting was a true artistry. She was always using her hands, she liked to needlepoint, she could knit up a storm, anything that would keep her hands busy. She enjoyed reading, whatever caught her eye, from mysteries to biographies.
There wasn’t a crossword puzzle that Pauline couldn’t solve. She and Darwin loved to take the family on camping trips. When they retired they bought a trailer to take on their trips. Pauline traveled the world, from Germany to Tunisia, Morocco, England, and a long drive through Canada. Pauline’s favorite thing in life was her family. She was blessed with 5 grandchildren, and would spend as much time with them as she could. Pauline is gone from this Earth but will never be forgotten. Pauline is survived by 2 children, Phillip Cooper (Susan Urban) of Trout Lake, MI, Jonathan Cooper (Kris) Cooper of St. Charles Five Grandchildren, Erin Cooper, Rhiannon Cooper and her fiancé Jackson, Jeremy Cooper, David (Mandy) Cooper and Sarah Cooper, one Brother, Marshall Blomberg of Spring Harbor, MI; sister in law, Iona Sunden of Coloma, WI; and one daughter in law, Eileen Conway of Fairfax, VA.

GENEVA – The Geneva City Council this week approved a modified version of the Route 31 road diet feasibility study to be submitted to the state for consideration. If the state approves, the reconfiguration would be done by restriping the roadway after the Illinois Department of Transportation resurfaces Route 31. “The plan sent to IDOT for consideration and approval reflects the opinions of residents and businesses along and abutting Route 31,” Mayor Kevin Burns said. Burns said the plan also reflects the opinions of those who want Route 31 to be safer for traveling to and from Geneva. The road diet reduces Route 31’s four lanes to two, with center turn lanes starting north of Fabyan Parkway and ending at Elizabeth Place. Last month, aldermen directed staff to modify the proposed road taper from Fabyan Parkway to Forest View by shifting the taper as far north as possible, officials said. Staff also received a request to include the six-acre, vacant Hackendahl property within the three-lane cross section to

ANOTHER VIEW
Asian-Americans will soon be the wealthiest Americans By CASS SUNSTEIN Bloomberg News The growing national concern about economic inequality raises many questions. One has to do with demographic groups. Are some doing better than others? If so, exactly why? A new study from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis shows that as most people assume, education is a key both to mobility and to the accumulation of wealth. But another important factor is economic decision-making. And when it comes to financial prudence, whites and Asian-Americans appear to be doing a lot better than Hispanics and African-Americans. Consider some numbers. From 1989 to 2013, the median wealth of white families stayed essentially constant, rising (in inflation-adjusted dollars) from $130,102 to $134,008. For Hispanic families, in contrast, the value grew significantly, but from a low starting point: $9,229 to $13,900. For African-American families, the story is similar: The median rose from $7,736 to $11,184. The biggest advance by far was made by Asian-American families, who experienced an increase from $64,165 to $94,440. What accounts for this? Since 1989, Asian-Americans have enjoyed an explosive growth in educational attainment. In 2013, 65 percent of Asian-Americans ages 35 to 39 had a four-year college degree – compared with 42 percent for whites, 26 percent for African-Americans and 16 percent for Hispanics. Over time, these differences are bound to produce increases in both income and wealth. Part of the explanation for the wealth disparity involves financial decision-making. African-Americans and Hispanics show less asset diversification, and they hold twice as much debt as their Asian-American and white counterparts. To evaluate financial decision-making, the authors of the Fed report looked at people’s savings rates, credit-card balances, debt-to-income ratios and missed payments over the course of a year. On these measures, which the researchers combined to produce a “financial health scorecard,” Asian-Americans and whites have been quite comparable since 1992 – and Hispanics and African-Americans have lagged. You might think that education could explain the variations. But that’s not what the study found. Within the same categories of educational attainment, the differences among demographic groups remain almost the same. On the financial health scorecard, the gaps between Hispanics and whites, and between African-Americans and whites, are greatest at the higher levels of educational attainment. And at every level of education, Asian-Americans show much better financial health than African-Americans and Hispanics. Holding income constant, they have managed to do relatively well in both saving money and avoiding debt.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IS OBAMACARE WORKING? To the Editor: The Republican party seems dedicated to trying to destroy Obamacare. In the House there have been over 50 votes requiring repeal – or related measures – but to no avail. One of the first things that they did in the new Congress was to vote again the same way. Obviously posturing. They knew full well the president would veto it, if it happened to pass in the Senate. It might be interesting to review some of the recent survey results of the effect it is having. Is it working or not? A recent Gallup poll showed that the percentage of uninsured American adults has been steadily dropping; it has fallen from 17.1 percent to 12.9 percent, a 4.2 percent drop.

course, seniors 65 and older often are covered by Medicare. The results are not evenly distributed in all the states. In the states that have refused Medicaid expansion, many of which are in the south and are Republican-controlled, it has left millions of low-income people uninsured. The poor in these states are denied health care because of this partisan act. Interestingly, two Republican governors in Pennsylvania and Indiana have recently decided to include the Medicaid coverage. Perhaps more will follow, if there is enough political pressure. In addition, people with pre-existing conditions can now get insurance, and the insurance companies cannot cancel a policy when major claims occur. The Department of Health and
Human Services has reported that over nine million people will be covered by private plans by the end of this year. Over 10 million are covered by Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. These plans are not socialism. The major health insurers have a flood of new business, and their stocks have been going up. Admittedly, the rollout of Obamacare was flawed, but that is not unusual in a program of this magnitude. Obviously, there are still aspects for improvement, but are we so callous to take away the insurance that so many people now have? Do we have any concern for our fellow man?

IHSA Class 4A Geneva Regional
By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Dealing with Geneva’s enormous frontcourt is a whopping challenge for all of the Vikings’ opponents. In Tuesday’s IHSA Class 4A Geneva Regional semifinal, DeKalb ran out of solutions as the Vikings powered their way to a 66-52 victory. The Vikings advance to Friday’s regional final against St. Charles East or St. Charles North. Senior forward Nate Navigato (28 points) and burly junior Loudon Vollbrecht (17 points) did much of their damage in the paint as both 6-foot-8 players attacked the rim with regularity. “We needed to be tougher, and we didn’t make enough tough plays,” DeKalb coach Al Biancalana said. “Sometimes with Vollbrecht, we got on the wrong shoulder, and he took full advantage of it. Navigato was a crafty kid and he really worked hard to get open, and every time he got open he seemed to make us pay for it.” Still, the fourth-seeded Barbs provided top-seeded Geneva (26-3) a formidable challenge. DeKalb drew within 45-43 on a rimmed-in 3-pointer from junior Michael Pollack with 5:16 to play in the fourth quarter. But Vollbrecht scored on a short, baseline turnaround at the other end to diffuse the mounting tension. “At a time like that, when it gets that close, you don’t want to live and die by the 3 or any outside jumpshots,” Vollbrecht said. “I was just lucky to get the ball in the post because my team has been looking for me. … I think the post game for us is a good situation.” After an empty possession for the Barbs (22-8), Geneva senior guard Pace Temple canned a 3-pointer to make it 50-43 Vikings, and the Vikings had little trouble closing out the game. Temple scored 11 of his 12 points in the second half, helping diversify Geneva’s offense after Navigato and Vollbrecht combined to score 22 of the team’s 25 points in the first half. Temple thought he was forcing plays early in the game. “When you’ve got scorers like Loudon and Nate, stuff starts opening up,” Temple

BOTTOM: Geneva’s Pace Temple drives down the court. said. “I kind of took a step back and just waited and started seeing the floor a little bit better.” Geneva has struggled with turnovers much of the season but the Vikings only had nine of them Tuesday as the Barbs – light on depth – could not muster the type of defensive pressure that might have put more strain on Geneva ball-handlers. “We’re not the quickest team
in the world, and I was afraid that if we did pressure them they’d be able to throw over the top of us, which is exactly what happened in the fourth quarter,” Biancalana said. “And secondly, it was my plan not to sub in the second half. We only had the one sub, and that was because of [Jace] Kitchen getting bopped in the nose. “It’s hard to play 16 straight
minutes and still press and have something left on offense. One of the weaknesses on our team is we just never developed someone who could score coming off the bench, and that caught up with us tonight.” The Barbs’ bench went scoreless. Pollack, coming off a monster game in Monday’s win against Batavia, picked up where he left off, hitting all three of his first quarter shots and finishing with a team-high 18 points. Big man Luke Davis added 14 points and eight rebounds for DeKalb. Geneva coach Phil Ralston said he fully expected the Vikings to handle a pressure-filled game with composure, which he considers one of the program’s trademarks. “We don’t flinch,” Ralston said. “So that was not a concern. Our kids have been exposed to enough tight games that when it tightens up like that we keep our calm, we go back to our fundamentals and we just do what we do. And I think more often than not, we’re usually OK in those situations.” DeKalb led, 11-10, after the first quarter and was well within striking distance at halftime, down 25-23. Poor floor balance by the Barbs in the closing seconds of the third quarter allowed Navigato a transition dunk and provided the Vikings momentum and a 41-35 lead. “Stephen Moyer did a great job of finding the loose ball, and then I was kind of leaking out, and he found me,” Navigato said. “I knew I had just enough time to get it down, so it was nice.” Geneva’s 26th win gives the Vikings the most victories in a season since the 1962-63 team won 30 games in Mel Johnson’s final year as coach.

(21 points), senior forward Mario May (21) and Cowen (13) also finished in double figures. Cadets senior standout guard Jordan Glasgow scored 12 of his game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter, crediting the Chargers’ amped up energy for limiting Marmion to 43 percent shooting. “We just couldn’t pull it off today, and you know, that’s not a testament to how strong we play, how hard we play, our attitude on how we play,” Glasgow said. “It just wasn’t our day today, you know.” Drye rotated a handful of Chargers who shared the assignment of picking up fullcourt pressure on Glasgow,
whose blend of physicality and a strong perimeter game makes him a difficult defensive draw. “That helped us a lot throughout the game,” Cowen said. “He’s a solid player, and it was just our goal to try to not take him out of the game, but wear him down.” Also a relentless power running back during football season, Glasgow located his second and third winds down the stretch. His 3 just ahead of the third quarter buzzer cut the Chargers’ advantage to 45-44, nearly completing Marmion’s rally from nine points down earlier in the quarter.
To borrow Cowen’s phrase, ACC and Marmion traded “unbelievably clutch” sequences over the final 8 minutes. ACC swelled its advantage to nine points again on a Kyle Czerak 3 with 4:22 to play, but Marmion fought back behind Glasgow, Jake Esp (20 points, 10 rebounds) and Matt Fletcher (nine points, five rebounds). Through it all, ACC never wilted against the Cadets. “Playing them 10 days ago, we were able to get out the jitters, and we purposely didn’t show them a lot of our plays,” May said. As so often happens, the game between the longtime, nearby rivals featured equal
jousting from the student sections situated in opposing bleachers. Marmion’s Cadet Crazies fired the opening salve just seconds into the game, shouting “DEJA VU!” when senior Evan Pickard maneuvered swiftly behind ACC’s zone for a point-blank basket on the team’s first possession. A nod to Pickard’s 8 for 10 shooting effort during the teams’ regular season meeting on Feb. 21, a 67-58 Cadets win, the chant’s shelf life expired about four minutes later. Elevating for what seemed like a comfortable two points, Pickard instead absorbed a block from May and the ensuing “HE GOT SWATTED!” exclamation ACC’s Blue Crew delivered. ACC students stormed the court after a wild conclusion that included a Glasgow miss from close range with about 12 seconds left that would have tied the game. “That would have put us in a better position,” Glasgow said, “but you do what you can and let the chips fall where they may.” With both teams in the double bonus, ACC snagged the rebound, was fouled, and hit the ensuing two free throws for a 68-64 lead. But Glasgow wasn’t done, drilling a 3 to make it 68-67 with 8 seconds remaining. The Chargers closed the game with four more free throws – two apiece from Kyle Czerak and May – which bookended Marmion missing a pair from the line.

AURORA – Mac Cowen repeated the phrase “unbelievably clutch” several times Tuesday night. With his Aurora Central Catholic boys basketball teammates filing out of the locker room behind him, Cowen, a sophomore guard from Geneva, just as easily could have assigned the same compliment to every Charger. To be sure, ACC channeled its resiliency to eliminate Marmion, 72-67, in a Class 3A IMSA Regional semifinal, avenging a regular-season home loss from just 10 days ago. Tweaks to the Chargers’ 2-3 zone, torrid long-distance shooting and even some intangibles added up. “The will to win today. The will to win,” Cowen said. “We wanted it so bad, and now look where we are.” Chargers coach Nate Drye playfully offered one assessment of his team’s location, at least on its won-loss ledger. “We’re 14-14, baby; 14-14,” Drye said. “Here we come.” On Friday, ACC also will be in the regional final after upsetting the top-seeded Cadets (17-12), taking on the winner of tonight’s semifinal between St. Francis and Glenbard South. ACC drilled 12 3s and shot 71 percent from beyond the arc. Freshman guard Kyle Czerak – the first recipient of Cowen’s “unbelievably clutch” assessment, for the record – drilled each of his three treys in the fourth quarter as part of a 13-point effort off the bench. Sophomore Brett Czerak

Geneva’s Wagner to quench ‘thirst’ at AU When the Geneva football team walked off the field after its Class 7A quarterfinal playoff loss to Cary-Grove, senior offensive lineman Joey Wagner wondered if it was the end of the line for his football career. But Wagner said his “thirst” to continue playing quickly resurfaced, leading to his recent college commitment to play at Aurora University. “I like competing and I like lifting so much and everything that goes with being an athlete,” Wagner said. “It was just something, for me, I wasn’t ready to move on to something else yet. I need to keep doing it. It’s just kind of a thirst I had that was not satisfied.” Wagner chose Aurora after also considering fellow in-state options Elmhurst and Augustana. The 5-foot-11, 285-pounder
switched from center to left guard as a senior and hopes to continue playing guard for the Spartans. “I feel I’m a better guard and I have more of a knack for it,” Wagner said. “It’s more because of the pulling aspect and being out in the open. You have to be a little bit more athletic and able to move, and I felt that’s where some of my strengths lie. It’s just a little more fun when you get to pull and go upfield and hit someone rather than hitting someone who’s six inches away from you.” Wagner said he’s training multiple times a week with former Geneva O-lineman Bryce Biel, owner of Legacy Performance training. Batavia defensive lineman Jon Wall announced via Twitter on Tuesday night that he also has committed to Auro-
PREP ZONE Jay Schwab ra. AU, which added former Batavia coach Mike Gaspari to its coaching staff this offseason, is coming off a 1-9 year in head coach Rick Ponx’s debut season. St. Charles showdown: Tonight is Round 4 between St. Charles East and St. Charles North, but “3” might remain the most pertinent number when the ball tips in the Geneva Regional semifinal. The Saints drilled 15 3-pointers in Friday’s regular-season finale at Riverside-Brookfield, not much flashier than a typical night at the office for East. The Saints have made a whopping 260 3-pointers on the season
compared to 139 for opponents, and East is shooting 39 percent beyond the arc compared to 32 percent for the opposition. North has its share of dangerous outside shooters, too, though the North Stars’ last game in Geneva’s gym was a shooting disaster as the North Stars misfired in a conference loss to the Vikings. The North Stars claimed the most recent meeting against the Saints – an overtime thriller in January – after East rolled in a pair of regular-season games early in the season. Saying goodbye: Batavia coach Jim Nazos had high praise for the contributions of the Bulldogs’ senior class after Monday’s season-ending loss to DeKalb. The large senior class – Chasen Peez, Danny Pieczynski, Jacob Roberts, Tyler
Lovestrand, Ed Golden, Jordan Schmidt, Mark Schmidt and Connor Lewis – helped elevate the Bulldogs from an eight-win season last year to 15 victories this year. Nazos said Roberts worked feverishly to make his mark. “He was someone who was in the gym constantly,” Nazos said. “He’ll text me at 8 a.m. in August, ‘Can you open up the gym sometime today?’ … There’s somebody who, if you saw him as a freshman, you wouldn’t even think he’d be in a varsity uniform. He totally worked himself into a very good varsity player. It wasn’t God-given to him. It was worked for.”

Huskies return to field with first spring practice By JESSE SEVERSON jseverson@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Juwan Brescacin has been here before. The redshirt senior receiver and the rest of the Northern Illinois football team opened another spring season Tuesday morning with a two-hour, helmets-only practice at the Chessick Practice Center. “For me, this is my last one, so I’ve been doing this for a while and you still kind of think about it the night before. But you don’t think about it as much as when you’re a freshman waiting to finally get some real reps,” said Brescacin, who caught 31 passes for 445 yards and six touchdowns last year. “I find myself sleeping pretty well the night before, but I’m definitely thinking about it.” Although the players still kept busy after their season ended with the loss to Marshall in the Boca Raton Bowl – weightlifting, running, watching film – Tuesday marked the first organized practice of the 2015 season. Coach Rod Carey liked what he saw.

Northern Illinois University quarterback Drew Hare throws a pass during the first spring practice Tuesday in the Chessick Center. “They came out to work,” he said. “I think the tempo of the practice was good and, obviously, there’s excitement for the first day. I like the way they moved around.” The Huskies will have 14 more practices in the spring season, which is capped off with the Huskie Bowl at 2 p.m. April 11. Brescacin said
there’s a different dynamic with spring practices – instead of anticipating a game each week, all the practices in the spring lead toward the Huskie Bowl. “We’re practicing for a month for one game, but when you get around that time, guys are pretty excited,” he said. Quarterback Drew Hare
was efficient in the team’s 7-on-7 drill, going 10 of 11 with mostly short passes. Hare comes into the spring as the starter after battling for the position a year ago – winning it during the regular season. “I feel a little more confident,” the redshirt junior said. “Obviously, I have another year under my belt and have some experience. I’m a little more confident with the team, with the leadership role, everything.” Tuesday’s practice also marked the return of a defense that is set to bring back eight starters from last year’s team. Even with plenty of experience, there still was excitement from the players to get back to work. “The defense was ready today, the offense, everybody was hyped to get back on the field since we’ve been doing workouts,” said senior safety Marlon Moore, who returns as the team’s leading tackler. Moore said that although finding the team’s identity likely comes a little closer to the start of the season, spring practices are a chance to get back on the field, polish up
“They came out to work. I think the tempo of the practice was good and, obviously, there’s excitement for the first day. I like the way they moved around.” Rod Carey NIU football coach
fundamentals and get play calls corrected. For defensive coordinator Jay Niemann, having a field full of returners certainly makes his job in the spring a little easier. “It makes a huge difference,” Niemann said. “You have a guy like Jawuan Johnson out there, who’s a redshirt freshman, and Marlon Moore and you see the difference – and there should be a difference. It sure makes you appreciate the guys who have been in the system and have played. It’s invaluable to have their knowledge on the field.”

St. Charles North • Junior • Boys Swimming Why he was selected: Earned four medals at Saturday’s IHSA boys swimming state finals at New Trier What was your mindset after the 50 free, knowing you made that awkward contact with the wall? Just move on to the next event. The break helps a lot. I kind of need the rest, then get into the pool again and warm up for the 100.
How satisfying was it to break through in the finals? That’s great. That was my only goal this year, was to be able just to make finals. I did that and was really happy with that.
With finals starting at noon (on Saturday), what time did the team get (to New Trier)? We got here around 9:30 [a.m.]. Get here, warm up, stretch, get ready to race.
You’ve been to state before, but how challenging is it not to get too psyched up? It’s all about keeping things routine. Didn’t change anything. Just keeping everything normal, I guess.
This Athlete of the Week is brought to you by
Andrew Shaw Blackhawks forward
in Monday’s rout of the Carolina Hurricanes, getting a look on the fourth line in the rightwing spot opened up by the Ben Smith trade. Shaw hasn’t scored in 16 games, and he’s one of the several underperforming players whom the Hawks desperately need to step up in Patrick Kane’s extended absence. But freed from some of the defensive responsibilities of playing center, Shaw is finding his game again. “I just think it’s a lot easier to get in on the forecheck [as a winger],” Shaw said. “You’re not always the last guy leaving your zone. You actually get to get in, make a hit and turn pucks over. You get to use your speed coming out of your own end, chip and support. So I think it does free you up a little bit.” Shaw has been frustrated by his lack of production. Af-

ter scoring 20 goals last season, and becoming a fixture as the net-front presence on the power play, Shaw has only nine goals this season, two of them on the power play. He has struggled defensively, too – a minus-9 on a team with a plus-36 goal differential. And although he improved his faceoff percentage from 43.3 percent a year ago to 49.9 percent this season, it never has been his strong suit. His strong suit is working in the corners, on the forecheck and in the goalie’s face. Moving over allows him to focus more on, as Shaw likes to say, “the things that got me here.” That work ethic is why Shaw always has been a favorite of coach Joel Quenneville’s, with a longer leash than some to work through slumps. “His numbers are usually more on the upside of where he’s been at,” Quenneville said. “It’s a long season. There are stretches where we’d expect some production. Some guys have had some tough stretches throughout the year, that’s why our scoring’s been off. But he does a lot of good things over the season that you appreciate. It’s a long year, and it’s not an easy job.” But it’s one Shaw loves to do. And one the Hawks need him to do. “I just think you’ve got to go out there and work, have fun and compete,” Shaw said. “It’s not always going to be easy. Hockey’s a game of mistakes. When you start to fix those mistakes in a slump is when you come out of it.”

St. Charles North junior boys swimmer Joe Myhre joined two medal-winning relays at Saturday’s IHSA state finals at New Trier after taking sixth in the 50-yard freestyle and sixth in the 100 freestyle. Myhre, the Kane County ChronicleSt. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, capped a breakthrough season after only advancing to finals in relays as a sophomore. Chronicle sports reporter Kevin Druley touched base with Myhre about his efforts. An edited transcript follows:
CHICAGO – On his first shift in the first period of his first game back at his natural spot on the wing Thursday night against the Florida Panthers, Andrew Shaw was the first Blackhawks player in the offensive zone, chasing Dmitry Kulikov into the corner. With a big hit, Shaw knocked the puck off Kulikov’s stick and the stick out of Kulikov’s hands, then threaded a nifty little backhanded pass to Teuvo Teravainen, who buried it for a goal. Shaw was a wrecking ball all game, with a whopping eight hits, creating havoc and creating scoring chances. That’s the Shaw who worked his way up from a twice-undrafted nobody to an indispensable 20-goal scorer. But that’s the Shaw the Hawks rarely have seen this season. “It’s the way I’ve always played, but I kind of got away from it,” Shaw said. “It’s tough to play 82 games like that. But to get back into having a game like that, coming close to the playoffs, is a huge boost in confidence. And it gets me back to where I need to be.” Where he needs to be is on the wing. And because of the additions of Antoine Vermette and Andrew Desjardins, as well as the versatility of Teravainen (who was his center in that Florida game), Shaw is back where he belongs, and getting back to his old self. He added another primary assist
“I just think you’ve got to go out there and work, have fun and compete. It’s not always going to be easy. Hockey’s a game of mistakes. When you start to fix those mistakes in a slump is when you come out of it.”

Dear Abby: I was recently told by a friend that my husband had sent her texts of an inappropriate and sexual nature. My husband didn’t deny that he sent them and refused to tell me what he sent. This woman is envious of my husband and jealous of our relationship. She often comments about how she’d love to have a man like mine, etc. My concern is, he admits he texted her, but I don’t understand why. My intuition tells me she told me the truth, but I want to trust my husband. Now I’m suspicious. I always want to check his phone, and analyze every aspect of our life and marriage. I feel this has put a huge wedge between us, and I no longer feel the same love and passion for him. What do I do now? Is my marriage over? – Suspicious In Michigan Dear Suspicious: Your marriage
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips may not be over, but it could be in jeopardy. Considering what has been going on, you have every right to be concerned. Marriage counseling may help you and your husband get back on track if he’s willing to go with you. But if he isn’t, then for your own sake, get counseling on your own because you may need to talk to someone who isn’t emotionally involved in your turmoil. Dear Abby: Every time my new wife and I visit my mom or she visits us, my mother scratches my back, rubs my arm, rests her hand on my inner thigh, tickles me, hugs me or touches me any chance she gets. I don’t recipro-
cate or validate the touching, but I don’t discourage it either. She has been this way for so long that I’ve just gotten used to it. I never noticed how creepy it was until my wife mentioned something. The problem is, how do I address this with my mother? I don’t want to throw my wife under the bus as the reason for the discussion, but I am not sure how believable it will be if I suddenly say after 30-plus years that it bothers me. What can I say? – No Means No Dear No Means No: Say, “I love you, Mom, and I know I should have mentioned this before, but when you do that, it makes me uncomfortable, so please stop.” If she wants to know why, tell her what she’s doing is excessive. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.
Fifth disease is usually a mild illness Dear Doctor K: A child in my son’s class has “fifth disease.” What is this? Is it contagious? What can I do to prevent my son from catching it? Dear Reader: Fifth disease, also known as erythema infectiosum, is a common viral infection among school-age children. It is caused by a virus called parvovirus B19. Fifth disease usually is a mild illness. Some people who are infected with the virus may never realize they have it. When symptoms do occur, they may include a stuffy nose, runny nose, slight fever, or body aches, headache, nausea, diarrhea and fatigue. These symptoms pass after three or four days. In children with a new infection by the virus, these symptoms are followed by a bright red “slapped cheek” rash. The child’s cheeks are bright red. The skin around the child’s mouth is unusually pale – which makes the red cheeks look even redder. I’ve put a photo of this rash on my website, AskDoctorK.com. The slapped cheek rash doesn’t appear until an infected person is no longer contagious. The rash on the cheeks is followed by a lacy, flat rash that appears on the arms,
ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff legs, trunk and buttocks. It may itch. Fifth disease usually goes away within three weeks. The rash, however, may occasionally last for months. Sometimes it goes away, but then comes back when the child is under emotional stress, exercises or is exposed to a sudden change in temperature (like moving between a warm home and a frigid outdoors in winter). Fifth disease spreads through direct contact with fluids or mucus from the nose or mouth of an infected person. Your child may encounter the virus in the droplets of coughs and sneezes, on dirty tissues, on drinking glasses and eating utensils. It is difficult to avoid exposure to the illness because fifth disease is most contagious three to 14 days before the facial rash appears. During this time, most infected people don’t know that they are ill and contagious. The best way to reduce the risk of your child catching the virus is to encourage him to wash
his hands frequently with soap and warm water. It is especially important to wash hands before eating and after touching contaminated items like dirty tissues, drinking glasses and eating utensils. If your child does become infected, remember that fifth disease is a mild illness that usually does not require treatment. If your child develops an itchy rash, oatmeal baths or other over-the-counter bath treatments may help. You can give your child over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) for body aches or headaches. Never give your child aspirin. Contact your doctor if your child has a blood disorder, cancer or an immune deficiency. Fifth disease can cause serious illness in children with these conditions. Since fifth disease occasionally can lead to complications, be sure to check in with your son’s pediatrician if you think your son may have caught it from his classmate.

Woman is married but still has feelings for ex Dr. Wallace: I’m 20 and have been married to my husband for over a year. Before I met him I had been going with a guy while we were in high school. My heart was broken when he broke up with me. I love my husband very much, but every once in a while my ex will contact me and all of my old feelings toward him return. Two weeks ago, he contacted me and said he was sorry for hurting me and still loved me very much. I felt my heart melt. Now I keep thinking what it would be like to be with him again. My problem is that I don’t want to hurt my husband, and I want our marriage to succeed. What can I do to get my romantic feelings about an ex-boyfriend out of my mind and still retain his friendship? Please don’t tell me to give him up completely. That would be difficult to do. – Nameless, Mobile, Alabama Dear Nameless: Stop playing games. You are a married woman who says she loves her husband and wants her marriage to succeed. If that’s true, stop all contact with your ex immediately. You owe it to your husband and yourself. Dr. Wallace: I feel compelled to write to you concerning the teen who gave her baby boy up for adoption. She explained that her baby is constantly in her thoughts and she seemed so sad and confused. I want to express my encouragement and admiration to this young woman for the
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace truly wonderful thing she did for her baby. I was adopted as an infant (I’m 26 now, with a family) and I thank God daily for the wise decision my birth mother made when she placed me for adoption. Having recently had a child of my own, I finally understand what a difficult and profound decision that was. My adoptive parents gave me the kind of family that this young woman most certainly wishes for her child: full of love, stability and nurturing. I ask the good Lord to bless my adoptive parents daily for their courage and love. As one who was adopted, I want to console this teen mom by assuring her that even in her pain, she not only did the right thing, but she also did the best thing. That unselfish love is the very essence of parenthood. How extraordinary! How beautiful! – Erin, Cumberland, Maryland Dear Erin: Thanks for your sincere and encouraging letter. It will ease the minds of many young women who have given their children to adoptive parents. • Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

TODAY – Revisit ideas and strategies that have worked well for you in the past. Taking the old and complementing it with your updated skills and knowledge will lead to a sensational new beginning that offers hope for the future. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Not everyone is as truthful as you are. Don’t believe everything you hear. Get your facts in order before you make a decision. Without precise details, you are likely to make a costly mistake. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Participation in group events or community activities will lead to friendships. Enter, enroll or volunteer within your community, and you will open the door to a world of new possibilities. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t sit on the sidelines if you have something to contribute. Keep your emotions in check and base your opinions on sound facts. You can make a difference. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Without breaking the bank, there are numerous ways to increase the comfort and cost-efficiency of your house. Make your home a welcome retreat from outside pressures. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Consider making some substantial changes to your life. Keep personal information a secret. Someone will have unexpected ulterior motives. You’ll do best working on your own, if you want to get ahead. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Deception is apparent. You’ll end up in a vulnerable position if you get involved in a risky financial deal. Use your charisma to outmaneuver anyone playing games with you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Expect important information to be withheld. Now is not the time to show emotion if you want to come out on top. Read between the lines and make a strategic move. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Get together with friends. The hectic routine of the work week will be detrimental to your health. Some physical activity will help alleviate stress and improve your friendships. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make personal changes, but be diplomatic when discussing such matters with the people you live with. Be firm and considerate, but put your needs first. A new creative challenge will get you moving. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Travel delays or minor roadblocks will prevent you from completing your to-do list. Concentrate on accomplishing things without getting angry. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Some things cannot be rushed. You should use your powers of persuasion and persistence when discussing a possible deal with your employer or partner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Be a leader, not a follower. You are at your best when you make your own decisions and listen to your intuition. Being what someone else wants you to be will lead to disappointment.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
Dazzling defense and declarer-play
CELEBRITY CIPHER
Francesco Petrarch, a 14th-century Italian poet, said, “The aged love what is practical while impetuous youth longs only for what is dazzling.” This deal features dazzling bidding, defense and declarer-play. What is the best defense against six spades, and how can South survive? When this deal arose in a duplicate, there were as many different auctions as tables in play. The first round was predictable, but should South have passed over five clubs? If not, should he have bid five diamonds or five spades? Then, after West continued with five hearts despite the unfavorable vulnerability, should North have passed, doubled or bid five spades or six clubs? Who knows? In this auction, North bid five spades, and South boldly raised himself to six spades. I think South should have passed over five clubs, but when West rebid five hearts and North passed (assuming he did), it would have been reasonable for him to compete with five spades. West led his heart ace. Then, judging that South would not have bid six spades with two low hearts in his hand, West did brilliantly to shift to a club. Now declarer had to decide on the trump split. If it were 2-2, he could draw trumps ending in the dummy and run the clubs. But South felt that, given West’s bidding, 1-3 was more likely than 2-2. Declarer, after winning the second trick in the dummy, cashed the spade ace, then played high clubs, discarding diamonds from his hand. When East ruffed the fourth club, South overruffed, led a low spade to dummy’s nine, drawing East’s remaining trump, and claimed.

KEYNOTE SPONSOR
Goal Setting to reach your full potential Everyone has a starting point. Whether you are a novice or experienced athlete, we all are looking to improve in one way or another. That improvement might be to lose weight, to place in your age group in a local or national race, or simply to improve your fitness. Setting goals will give you motivation and boosts self-confidence. Having those goals, adjusting, and learning how to set them can help you achieve them. Ryan Giuliano started from not knowing how to swim in college to becoming the top ranked amateur Ironman athlete in the world in 2015. It has required him to set many short term and long term goals and keeping motivated and disciplined to attain them. He will discuss how to plan goals out and follow through to meet them.
