Daily lane closures are likely as the Illinois Department of Transportation prepares to resurface South Batavia Avenue (Route 31) in Geneva this spring. Starting May 1, IDOT will begin a two-month project that will run from Elizabeth Place south into Batavia. The project scope includes tree removals, concrete curb/sidewalk work, manhole cover adjustments, street patching, resurfacing and pavement marking installation. Some construction mobilization, preliminary site work and other utility relocations could begin this month. Signage and flaggers will be present throughout the construction zone, and drivers should expect delays. People wanting to avoid the area can take Crissey Avenue (Route 25) as an alternate route.

Once the road is resurfaced, IDOT is tentatively planning to restripe a segment of Route 31 as part of the “road diet” concept that was submitted by the city to the state last month, according to a news release issued by the city of Geneva. Geneva will be pro-

Three St. Charles police officers sworn in at City Council meeting

By CHARLES MENCHACA cmenchaca@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles Police Department on Monday evening welcomed three more officers to its ranks.

Joe Eversole, John Mijal and Rick Murawski attended the regular St. Charles City Council meeting before their families.

The three men formally were sworn in to the department by Don Haines, chairman of the city of St. Charles Board of Fire and Police Commissioners.

Eversole recently worked at the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office as a civilian booking officer, St. Charles Police Chief James Keegan said.

When not on duty, Eversole

enjoys eating, working out and watching sports.

Murawski previously worked in corrections for the state of Nevada. He is married with three children and enjoys running and reading, Keegan said.

Mijal is following in the footsteps of some of his family members who are in law enforcement. Mijal’s stepfather is the chief of police in Rolling Meadows, Keegan said.

Keegan joked that Mijal was introduced last because he is a fan of the Cubs. Eversole and Murawski indicated they were White Sox fans, which got a thumbs-up from St. Charles Mayor Ray Rogina, also a Sox fan.

“We know you’ll do a fine job,” Rogina told the officers.

Foster won’t run for U.S. senate Instead, congressman supporting Tammy Duckworth KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com U.S. Rep. Bill Foster won’t throw his hat into the ring for Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk’s seat in 2016.

Instead, he will throw his support behind U.S. Rep. Tammy D u c k w o r t h , Bill Foster Foster announced in a news release Friday.

“After careful thought and consideration, I have decided to avoid what would be a costly and, ultimately unnecessary, primary. I will not be running for the United States

Senate,” Foster stated in the release. “Millions upon millions of special interest dollars will flood our state in support of Mark Kirk. The resources on the Democratic side should be focused on winning that seat back for the people of Illinois, not on Democrats fighting one another.”

The announcement comes just weeks after Foster announced he was giving serious consideration to running for Kirk’s seat.

The release stated Foster will serve as a co-chairman of Duckworth’s finance committee.

“Bill Foster is a scientist and businessman and has a reputation in Congress for digging deep into the data

your delivery.

before passing judgment on issues that affect Illinois families,” Duckworth stated in the release. “When Bill Foster speaks, you know that facts are on his side. That stands in contrast to Senator Kirk, who seems to talk first and worry about the facts later.”

Foster praised Duckworth, stating in the release she is “such a terrific candidate.”

“Illinois needs a senator who will be an advocate for the middle class, and that person is Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth,” Foster stated. “She is unafraid to stand up for Illinois families and stand up to the special interests in Washington. She will be the thoughtful senator that Illinois needs and deserves.”

OAK CREST DeKalb Area Retirement Center www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Just do it...”

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

Kay Johnson, Resident since June 2011

COVER STORY GOAL: NEW LIFE FOR VACANT SPACES The Salvation Army store moves into St. Charles site; Papa G’s site expected to get new owner soon

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Clothes now fill the aisles of what used to be a Dominick’s grocery store.

In December, The Salvation Army Family Store and Donation Center opened at 2063 Lincoln Highway, St. Charles, in a 29,000-square-foot building that formerly housed Dominick’s and Geneva Hardware.

It is one example of how some buildings in central Kane County are getting a second or even third use. The Salvation Army Maj. Larry Manzella said business has been brisk, especially on the weekends, although people still are discovering the store.

“There’s a bit of an education that needs to go on, but that’s understandable,” Manzella said. “We just opened up in the middle of December.”

Officials in cities and villages where such buildings sit vacant said the goal is getting them filled. Such structures can sit vacant for months or years.

The Papa G’s restaurant at 250 S. Main St. in Elburn has been closed since September 2013, but just like the former Dominick’s store in St. Charles, it appears the building is about to get another use.

Neil Johnson, managing director/broker for Geneva-based Sperry Van Ness/Landmark Commercial Real Estate LLC, said the 7,464-square-foot building is under contract to a new owner. Johnson said he could not reveal the new owner’s name, but he said the sale is set to close in late May or early June.

Sperry Van Ness has been marketing the property since December. Johnson said the pending sale reflects an upbeat feeling in the building market.

“It is a reflection of overall optimism,” he said.

While the former Dominick’s store in St. Charles now is filled, the former Dominick’s at 2000 S. Randall Road in Geneva remains empty. That store was one of 72 Chicago-area

Know more Notable vacant properties in central Kane County: • Former Dominick’s store, 2000 S. Randall Road in Geneva • Former Circuit City store, 1980 W. Fabyan Parkway in Batavia • Former Avenue Motor Sales, McKee Street and Randall Road, Batavia • Former Butera grocery store, 2732 E. Main St. in St. Charles • Former Papa G’s restaurant at 250 S. Main St., Elburn Dominick’s stores to close in 2014.

The 71,729-square-foot store opened in 1996, and closed in January 2014. The property is being marketed as a retail lease opportunity to both grocers and general retailers, said Kevin Stahr, communication coordinator for the city of Geneva.

City officials are not aware of any current interest in the property, Stahr said. Safeway, which was Dominick’s parent company, continues to lease

the building from Hoffman Estates-based The Crown Group, he said.

“The city and The Crown Group continue to reach out to prospective users to generate interest in the property,” Stahr said.

He said the city is open to a tenant other than a grocery store filling the space.

“Seeing the property filled is our goal,” Stahr said. “From a general standpoint, the city monitors new and expanding

retailers entering the market.

Our economic development department works to contact them to showcase sites like the former Dominick’s property and other opportunities in Geneva.”

Some previously empty buildings in Geneva have been filled in recent years. For example, a Ross Dress for Less store opened in 2012 in a building at 1660 S. Randall Road that formerly housed a Borders bookstore.

The Crown Group will consider dividing the space to accommodate a smaller footprint, if needed, Stahr said. The fact that other big-box stores already are in Geneva, such as Best Buy, makes the property challenging to fill, he said.

Another challenge, Stahr said, is many big-box retailers are generally not expanding, and most are reducing the size of their stores and consolidating locations. Such as the case with Office Depot and OfficeMax, which have merged into one company. Staples now is set to acquire Office Depot.

Office Depot stores in the Fabyan Plaza at 1964 W. Fabyan Parkway in Batavia and Main Street Commons at 3635 E. Main St. in St. Charles are set to close on May 16. An OfficeMax store in the Wind Point Shopping Center at 321 N. Randall Road in Batavia will remain open.

Batavia’s Office Depot store is in the same shopping center as a vacant Circuit City store that closed in 2008. That building also has been a challenge to fill, Batavia economic development consultant Chris Aiston said.

Aiston said the majority of retailers are still recovering from the recent economic crash.

“Some are re-establishing themselves,” Aiston said.

“There aren’t as many closings as there once were, but that doesn’t mean there are going to be a lot of openings. When you have a 33,000-square-foot-space, there are not that many users that would fill that space. They are fairly destination or regional players. Most of those are already in the market on Randall Road, but not all of them, certainly.”

The building is not empty all the time. For the past few years, a costume store has set up shop in the building during the Halloween season.

“It’s a good use in the meantime, but obviously, it’s not a permanent use,” Batavia Community Development Director Scott Buening said.

ST. CHARLES – A national restaurant chain wants to move into the former TGI Fridays space in St. Charles, according to city documents.

The Glazier Corporation has proposed splitting the former TGI Fridays building at 3875 E. Main St., St. Charles, into two units. The western unit would be used for a Noodles & Co. location, according to the city’s executive summary of the request.

A series of building modifications are needed before Noodles & Co. can move in, so the St. Charles City Council’s planning and development committee will review the details at its Monday meeting.

The proposed changes include replacing two windows with a double door on the west side of the building, replacing a window with a single door on the building’s north side and adding Noodles & Co. signage, the city’s executive summary states.

The former TGI Fridays building is part of the city’s East Gate Commons Planned Unit Development, or PUD, according to the summary.

asloboda@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Kane County, which was recently ranked the fifth healthiest county in the state, has 15 years to reach its goal of being the healthiest county in Illinois by 2030.

At a Community Health Assessment stakeholder meeting Friday, a few dozen people provided input about what they think the top three health-related issues are facing the county.

Mental health, chronic disease and income and education topped the list, which also included substance abuse, access to health care and immunizations.

“Many of these issues are intertwined,” said Jess Lynch of the Illinois Public Health Institute.

Barb Jeffers, executive director of the Kane County Health Department, said attention is shifting to developing the county’s health priorities now that the Community Health Status Assessment is completed.

The assessment – which is

detailed in a 269-page report – was a data-driven approach to determine the health status, behaviors and needs of Kane County residents. It is intended to provide information so the community may identify the issues of greatest concern and decide where to commit resources.

Assessing the health in Kane County included more than diet and exercise, said Dan Eder of the health department.

Education, employment, access to care, community safety and housing and transit were among other factors considered.

Friday’s meeting, which was at the Northern Illinois Food Bank in Geneva, aimed to share data with the stakeholders and gather more input, particularly about what the county’s priorities should be for the

next three years.

Data included survey responses from residents, who rated such issues as mental health, substance abuse, diabetes, heart disease and stroke and access to health care services as major or moderate problems.

Stakeholders raised concerns about the accuracy of the survey results since it relied on self-reporting. Jeffers said surveys are helpful because they are more timely than secondary data, which might be 5 years old.

The stakeholders also named other health issues they would highlight that were not discussed, including body image and eating disorders, isolated elderly populations and fathers’ involvement in their children’s lives.

Liz Eakins, the executive director of Lazarus House in St. Charles, said she was “very concerned substance abuse is not receiving a ton of attention here.”

Get lost – in a good way – at Hickory Knolls Natural Area GOOD NATURED Pam Erickson Otto Editor’s note: The following is an update of a column that originally ran in 2009.

The spring break season is upon us! During the past few weeks, I’ve heard from friends who’ve traveled to Hawaii, Tennessee, Virginia, Florida and Arizona. Thanks to Facebook, I’ve been able to see pictures showing the lush green of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the deep orange and purple of the Grand Canyon.

I even got a post card of a Tasmanian Devil from my friend Sarah, who traveled to Australia.

These vacations are nice – necessary, even, given the way our lives can get so hectic. But even if you’re not able to travel far, there’s still plenty of opportunity for rest and relaxation right here in Kane County, in one of our area’s many outstanding parks and forest preserves.

OK, I’ll admit, I’ve been a fan of these special places for years. I’ll never forget the first time I saw white pelicans at Dick Young Forest Preserve in Batavia, or the time my young neighbors and I surprised a deer family (or, rather, they surprised us) on a trail at Tekakwitha Woods in St. Charles. I remember watching a mom wood duck skillfully guide her young brood past the double dangers of a big snapping turtle and a really large largemouth bass; stumbling on cancer root, a rare plant that lacks chlorophyll; and finding fairy shrimp, cute little Sea Monkey-like crustaceans that appear and disappear like, well, fairies. Some of these are once-in-a-lifetime memories, yet they happened with little effort and virtually no planning.

How many big vacations can you say that about?

Of all the local mini-vacation destinations, one of my favorites has to be the Hickory Knolls Natural Area, the 130-acre chunk of green space that lies just beyond my office window at the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center.

Bloodroot is one of the earliest blooming woodland wildflowers in the Hickory Knolls Natural Area, a scenic 130-acre parcel maintained by the naturalist staff of the St. Charles Park District.

Hickory Knolls is located within the James O. Breen Community Park, which is at the corner of Peck and Campton Hills roads. You might be familiar with the area because of its athletic fields.

Or the Otter Cove Aquatic Park. Maybe you’ve taken Rover for a romp at the dog park, or tended a community garden plot here. But have you ever explored the park’s natural area?

The Hickory Knolls Natural Area begins on the other side of the road that leads to the St. Charles “Boys Home,” now the Illinois Youth Center. Prairies, woodlands, wetlands ... this place has them all, along with a seemingly endless array of wildflowers and wildlife.

Spring is a great time to visit, too. The greenish-purple shoots of the spring ephemerals – those wildflowers that must emerge, flower and set their seeds before the leaves are out on the trees – are just starting to creep up through the leafy carpet of the woodland floor. It won’t be long before hepatica and bloodroot, two of earliest

risers, will be in bloom.

You’d better be prepared for noise, too. Many birds

are busy setting up breeding territories, using their songs to declare boundaries, ward off competitors and impress their mates.

And the frogs! If you’re looking for a one-stop spot to hear spring peepers, chorus and leopard frogs, Hickory Knolls is your place.

But perhaps the park’s best feature is one that’s been here every day, for thousands of years – its topography.

Formed by the ebb and flow of the Wisconsin glacier as it beat a long, slow retreat from this area 10,000 years ago, the area’s hills are actually glacial formations known as kames and moraines. There are potholes too – pothole wetlands, that is. These depressions, at the north edge of the natural area, are depressions left by chunks of remnant glacial ice.

These formations run directly opposite of the commonly held notion that our area is “boring.” True, we don’t have Rocky Mountains, or even Smoky Mountains.

But we do have terrain. Like my friend Valerie (Blaine, nature programs manager for the Forest Preserve District of Kane County) says, “Illinois isn’t flat like a pancake, it’s bumpy like an omelet.”

I know. You’re probably thinking, “Hey, wait a minute. Hickory Knolls Natural Area ... St. Charles Park District … She’s just writing this because she has to.” Ah, but that is so untrue.

I started strolling around this natural area years ago, long before I ever started working for the park district.

One of my favorite things back then, and one that remains true today, is you can literally get lost in the hills here. No, not the dangerous kind of lost that involves signal flares and dramatic helicopter rescues. Rather, I’m talking about the good kind of lost – the sort where your body relaxes, your mind unwinds, and you’re free to get lost in the moment.

If you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up, go ahead and give the Hickory Knolls Natural Area a try. Dress for the weather, bring a lunch and – I mean this in the best possible way – get lost!

Confident Americans resume shopping spree

By MATTHEW WINKLER Bloomberg News Americans are spending money again. More than you probably think.

Shopping with the most spare cash since 2008, consumers are giving U.S. companies record sales for discretionary items, as well as the biggest boost to their shares in 25 years. From jewelry to home improvement, from e-commerce to Internet-based services, from automotive retailers to home builders, revenue for the most recent quarter is at a record, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

One could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Six years after the worst recession since the Great Depression, reporting on the American consumer has mostly focused on erratic retail sales and data on durable goods, spending and sentiment that contribute to the perception of an economy awaiting its traditional mainstay.

Government statistics have fed the narrative. For example, the Commerce Department reported disappointing consumer purchases in February, up 0.1 percent after a 0.2 percent decline in January; adjusted for inflation, reported spending declined for the first time in almost a year.

These figures are misleading.

Although record snowfall probably did depress spending early this year in the Northeast and Midwest, we won’t really know what happened until the Commerce Department revises its first-quarter spending figures in May. When it did so for the fourth quarter of 2014, consumer spending turned out to have climbed the most in eight years, and the 4.4 percent increase in household purchases was the most since the first three months of 2006. The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index in March completed the strongest quarter since 2004, complementing the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index, which

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

last week reached the highest level since May 2007.

Figures from U.S. companies are in sync with this trend. Companies supported by discretionary spending on things such as cars, clothes and restaurants are prospering. Sales per share of the 85 such companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Consumer Discretionary Sector Index, including Whirlpool, CarMax and Chipotle Mexican Grill, surged to the highest valuations since Bloomberg began compiling the data in 1990.

Based on their most recent quarterly filings, revenue for these companies grew 7 percent over the same quarter last year. The increase is 76 percent greater than the average growth of the past five years. Among these 85 companies, 50 of them are selling goods and services at a faster rate than during the past five years.

And so far in 2015, the 85 consumer discretionary stocks in the S&P 500 are the best performing cohort after health care, gaining 5.5 percent and beating the S&P’s 1.1 percent overall return.

The stock market reflects the growing appetites of both consumers and consumer discretionary companies, which announced plans to spend $80 billion on acquisitions in 2014, the most in at least 12 years. The growing confidence revealed in the latest University of Michigan consumer sentiment index and the Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index derives from a U.S. savings rate that increased to 5.8 percent, the highest since December 2012, as well as increased payrolls and hourly earnings.

Add cheap oil to the equation, and you have another reason to believe that the American consumer is back online or maybe even in the store.

OUR VIEW

‘The Illinois Turnaround’ and Kane County Earlier this week, Gov. Bruce Rauner visited the Kane County Government Center in Geneva, just one of many statewide stops he’s been making to seek local support for his government agenda.

As part of his visit to Geneva, Rauner’s staff distributed a packet called “The Illinois Turnaround,” a plan that looks to improve the state’s economic competitiveness and job growth. The plan also addresses taxpayer protection, property taxes, pension reform and other issues.

Rauner would like the Kane County Board to endorse his agenda, and Chairman Chris Lauzen seems receptive to the idea, which we find encouraging.

After Rauner initially released his proposed budget in February, many government officials throughout the state were up in arms over the idea that significant cuts could be made to their municipalities’ share of the state income tax.

And while it cannot be easy to stomach a proposed $600 million reduction in shared income tax revenue for local governments across the state, Illinois leaders and residents need to realize that significant changes must be made in order to right the state’s ship.

As we wrote in February: “Rauner’s

budget should be viewed as an encouraging beginning. Clearly, Rauner will have a fight on his hands, but it’s necessary for Illinois to rebound. Short-term pain will produce long-term fiscal solvency.”

Lauzen seems to have the right approach when it comes to considering Rauner’s agenda.

During the governor’s stop at the Kane County Government Center, the chairman passed out a statement, which read, in part, “I propose that our board should explore the common ground where we can generate a consensus among ourselves and participate in making things better.”

And he summarized at the end of his 13-point statement: “We can ‘customize’ our approach toward supporting reform in Springfield. I think that we ought to make the most of this opportunity.”

That attitude is exactly what this state needs as it seeks to solve its fiscal woes.

And we hope the rest of the Kane County Board and other government leaders keep such an open mind when it comes to backing Rauner’s plan.

With consensus building, Illinois can go a long way toward becoming a well-managed, well-run state that residents can be proud to live in.

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

Aren’t they protected against cruelty? We have people in our apartment complex that chase them because they don’t like the mess. Well, they are messy, but you know that when you live by a river, you’re going to have ducks or geese. So, if they don’t like it, let them move where there is no wildlife. They complain about the foxes, so why not tell people that the geese and the ducks are protected fowl?

I’m not obtuse, but I’m appalled the way it was written. The only people who would understand the way it was written would be those in government. The question asked voters whether the extension limitation for the district should be increased from the lesser of 5 percent or their percentage increase in the consumer price index over the prior levy year to 12.5 percent for each of the levy years of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

When is the Batavia City Council going to stop being a chump to business development? A developer, who is unknown, wants to build a grocery store in the downtown. This developer wants the city to pay for a survey of need and the placement in downtown. The council should know that Berkeley’s grocery store is only three blocks from downtown and that Walgreens, when it is finally built, will become a mini-mart or a small grocery store. If a developer wants to build anything in downtown or anywhere in Batavia, they should supply their own commission for their survey and pay for it, then present their facts to the council not the other way around.

We, the s-h-e-e-p-l-e With regard to [a previous] caller about catering to Spanish-speaking persons, you are on the right track. But when you say politicians should wake up, I would like to point out that politicians are fully aware of why they support this. Ask yourself, what do politicians gain by catering to the ever-growing Spanish-speaking population? It is obvious. It is we, the sheeple yes s-h-e-e-p-l-e who need to wake up.

Today is the day after Election Day, and I would like to thank all of the people who ran for some office to try to get elected. I also have a message for those who got out and voted: Thank you, thank you, thank you. You really understand the importance of your vote. For those of you who didn’t get out to vote, you’re the real losers. You’re losers because you have allowed a very small percentage, sometimes 10, 11, or 15 or 20 percent, of the people who got out there to vote, 20 percent of the eligible voters, to determine what a 100 percent of you were going to pay for. Now I ask you, on your local elections, why did you not get out and vote? Do you understand that if the federal government shut down, you could still go about your business, and that’s been proven, for at least a month, maybe two, maybe three? If the state government shut down, you could still go about your business. For the most part, people could go about their business; it wouldn’t affect them. But, if your local government shut down, you would have no police protection; you would have no fire protection; your schools would not operate; and, of course, we have a different setup than Chicago schools. Our mayor does not run our schools; our local school boards do. We have local control of our schools, and yet no one, a very small percentage of the people, decided to get out and vote and few people ran for election. Shame on you!

We will be a healthier nation in many ways if we support our proudly “Made in the USA” products.

WAITING AT LACROSSE-ROADS Sport encroaching on IHSA sanctioning, but nothing official yet

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

A

thletic directors and IHSA officials predict lacrosse soon will come unshackled from its present holding pattern.

That should be no surprise for a sport long dubbed as the fastest-growing in America, even though the status symbol of official IHSA sanctioning looms the same way it has for years.

“I still am of the mindset that we are going to have a vote on one day making it a sport,” Geneva athletic director Jim Kafer said, “but right now, it’s kind of stuck in neutral.”

IHSA spokesman Matt Troha, also the organization’s boys and girls lacrosse administrator, bears proof.

“We really didn’t do anything with it this year,” he said. “Just with so many other things going on, it wasn’t something our board was considering adding.”

In August 2013, the IHSA board of directors announced the adoption of a boys and girls state series beginning in the spring of 2014 if schools could meet a participation quota of 65 boys teams and 40 girls teams.

Troha said girls programs reached that figure last season, but there still were fewer than 65 boys programs statewide.

Relative to other regions, the Kane County Chronicle area remains well-represent-

Club lacrosse participation has grown in recent years, but the sport does not yet possess the IHSA’s participation quota for boys and girls teams. ed in lacrosse this spring.

St. Charles East, St. Charles North, Batavia, Geneva, Marmion, St. Francis and Wheaton Academy offer boys programs, while the St. Charles schools form a girls co-op and St. Francis has a team.

To be sure, that’s a much larger scope than in October 2009, when the IHSA tentatively approved a boys and girls state series beginning in the spring of 2011, a development that ultimately fell short.

“The disconnect still lies in that some programs,

they’re sort of loosely associated with the school and not quite run like the other programs are,” Troha said.

Among Tri-Cities schools, those relationships vary, with Geneva sparking the charge. Kafer said Geneva has “embraced lacrosse

as basically a quasi-sport” for a few years, registering athletes through the athletic department, offering facility usage and publishing rosters and schedules on its athletics website.

St. Charles East’s Jack Russell (51) celebrates a goal May 17, 2014, in the Crosstown Classic at Geneva High School.

Batavia to play some home games at Bulldog Stadium • LACROSSE Continued from page 19 “We can’t say it’s a sport because it isn’t IHSA-sanctioned yet, but we do everything pretty much as we do for any sport,” Kafer said.

“It’s self-funded, but our boys volleyball is self-funded, too (apart from transportation). The only difference is one is an IHSA sport and one isn’t.”

This spring, District 303 adopted each of St. Charles’ boys and girls high school lacrosse programs into its operation, marking the first time, East athletic director Mike Sommerfeld said, the sport came under the umbrella of the athletic department.

St. Charles programs remain members of the clubbased Illinois High School Lacrosse Association and its state series – the IHSA licenses game officials – but otherwise enjoy the same advantages and school pride as other athletes on campus.

“We’ve been really excited that we’re a school sport,” said North student Charlotte O’Sullivan of the girls co-op, which is set to play its first varsity home game at East’s Norris Stadium next week.

“It makes transportation easier and practices easier. So it’s nice to be recognized.”

Sommerfeld called the

development a natural progression.

“What we saw,” he said, “is that we just had so many kids playing the sport in this community, and they weren’t allowed to play at their school, and they weren’t fully recognized as being a sport that we figured that it’s not going to go away and we should bring that in. We should bring that in and make them a part of the athletic programs.”

At Batavia, first-year boys coach Kyle Sullivan, who doubles as a co-director of Naperville-based New Wave Lacrosse, said there’s a “kind of modified” arrangement with the athletic department.

A school liaison assists the program with such amenities as access to buses and reserving classrooms for film study. In addition, the team has scheduled a few home games at Bulldog Stadium, a bigger space than its usual set-up at Rotolo Middle School.

“That’s a big deal for us,” Sullivan said. “A lot of schools don’t get that.”

Although communication with the athletic department is growing, the Batavia program hasn’t escaped encountering its share of club-centric issues.

Recently, Rotolo’s field was unplayable because of wet conditions, sending the Bulldogs scrambling to play

SOFTBALL: GENEVA 6, BARTLETT 5

Late rally lifts Geneva past Bartlett

By KEVIN BEESE editorial@kcchronicle.com

• Saturday, April 11, 2015

GENEVA – A four-run sixth inning lifted the Geneva softball team to a 6-5 victory Friday against Upstate Eight Conference foe Bartlett.

Keyed by a two-run double

by Rylie Porretto, the Vikings had their first five hitters in the inning reach base and turned a 5-2 deficit into the final margin.

“With no outs, I was looking for something outside that I could hit to the right side,” said Porretto, a right-handed hitter. “The first pitch was inside, so I took it. The second pitch was out there and I was able to drive it.”

Annika Radabaugh, who reached base safely in all three of her at-bats (single, triple and walk), started the Vikings’ big inning with a walk.

She moved to third on Kaitlyn Plocinski’s double, and scored on Madison Keith’s fielder’s choice.

On Keith’s grounder, Plocinski got caught in a rundown, but was able to dive back into second without being tagged.

Molly Wrenn then singled off the glove of Bartlett’s shortstop to score Plocinski and pulling Geneva (4-1, 2-0 UEC River) to within one run, bringing Porretto to the plate with still no one out in the inning.

“I was very excited to get the hit,” Porretto said. “I was trying to help my teammates who were working hard trying to get us back in the game.”

Geneva coach Greg Dierks had pulled his squad together before the bottom of the sixth.

“I told them, ‘Let’s make these last six outs the toughest six outs to get,’ ” Dierks said.

His talk worked so well, Geneva did not even need its

Dierks said rallying to beat a strong team like Bartlett (73-1, 2-1 UEC Valley) was quite an accomplishment.

“We haven’t beaten them for a couple of years,” Dierks said. “It keeps us unbeaten in conference.”

Bartlett had a four-run rally of its own in the top of the fourth inning. Aided by two Geneva errors, Bartlett sent nine hitters to the plate.

“I told them we need to shorten those four-run innings,” Dierks said. “Better

defense shortens that inning by a run or two.”

The Vikings committed four errors on the day, a fact Dierks blamed at least partially on the extremely windy conditions.

“I think the weather helped both teams [on offense],” Dierks said. “Both teams allowed some runs with costly mistakes.”

Taking a lead into the seventh, Geneva pitcher Emily Plocinski retired the Hawks in order with some help from her defense.

GIRLS SOCCER: SYCAMORE 1, KANELAND 0

Late goal downs Kaneland MAPLE PARK – The only part of the game for the Sycamore girls soccer team that wasn’t working Friday against Kaneland was getting the ball in the back of the net.

Sycamore coach Dave Lichamer said he was confident that would change. It took almost 64 minutes, but he was proven right.

Jenna Lewey connected on an assist from Alyssa Maillefer with 16:02 left in the second half, and the Spartans held on for a 1-0 win over the Knights in a Northern Illinois Big 12 East matchup.

“I thought we did an outstanding job,” Lichamer said.

“We controlled the flow of the game, we moved the ball well

over the field, had lots of space and created a great number of chances. Kudos to their keeper; she made some great saves today.

“On a day like this, where the wind is gusting, all it takes is one,” he said of the strong wind blowing sideline to sideline. “You can tiptoe around the goal all you want, but you need to get the ball in the net.”

The Spartans (4-3 overall, 2-0) controlled the flow, but were turned away by the Knights’ defense and goalie Emily Chapman time and again until late in the second half.

“The ball just deflected off the keeper, and I made sure I was there and put it in the goal,” Lewey said.

Kaneland’s best chances to score came late in the game

Two minutes later, Courtney Diddell took a shot that was punched away by a fully outstretched Moulton.

For the Knights, it was their third game in four days. They had shutout victories in the past two, including at home Tuesday against DeKalb. They play Rosary today.

Batavia tennis wins downstate

Up next Cougars (RHP Jeferson Mejia) vs. Cedar Rapids (LHP Stephen Gonsalves), 1 p.m. today, AM1280 Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Everything’s Jake

CEDAR RAPIDS 6, COUGARS 4

Friday doubled as Mauer Mania in Chicago and the western suburbs.

Kernels manager Jake Mauer is the older brother of Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer, who was 1 for 2 with an RBI and three walks in the club’s 6-0 win against the White Sox in the home opener at U.S. Cellular Field.

Jake Mauer, 36, is in his third season with Cedar Rapids, the Twins’ Class-A affiliate. He actually managed Joe last season during a minor league rehab assignment, and has grown to embrace the Midwest League, which offers most of its players the challenge of their first full professional seasons.

“I had some conversations about possibly Double-A or Triple-A, and obviously, Cedar Rapids is close for my family,” said Jake Mauer, a St. Paul, Minnesota native. “It’s nice to be able to go home. I have three little ones. But also, too, I really like this age. I like teaching, you know, more than anything. If you see us in the dugout, we try to do a lot of it, that’s for sure.”

Cougars learn cold facts of MWL weather

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up the Sun” provided the final soundtrack as the Cougars’ grounds crew concluded its postgame tilling late Thursday night.

Fifth Third Bank Ballpark had all but cleared after the Cougars’ 25th season opener, yet anyone around might have reasonably wondered if someone mistakenly picked the playlist from spring training.

A roster with two native Midwesterners – left-hander Jared Miller of Columbus, Ohio and infielder Marty Herum of St. Paul Minnesota – is learning quickly of the inconsistent early-season weather of the Midwest League.

If absorbing the chill that engulfed Friday’s 6-4 loss to Cedar Rapids weren’t convincing enough, the Cougars have a manager from Milwaukee to drive the point home.

“You have the kids in here that are from the Dominican [Republic] and a couple of other people that have never played in this kind of environment weather-wise,” manager Mark Grudzielanek said. “But it’s something [where] you’ve got to adjust. Your game’s got to travel, right?”

Home through today’s matinee against the Kernels before a brief, three-game trip to Burlington, Iowa, the Cougars actually can lean on one of their foreign-born teammates for perspective.

Right-hander Markus Solbach describes the climate of his native Dormagen, Germany, as “very similar” to northern Illinois.

“We’ve got cold winter, decently hot summer,” Solbach said. “But coming from Arizona and spring training right now, it’s pretty cold here.”

Eleven Cougars spent at least part of last season with Short-A Hillsboro (Oregon), which doesn’t even have opening day until mid-June, making weather immaterial. Other than that whole Pacific Northwest rain thing, of course.

On the other end of the spectrum, 11 players had stints with South Bend of the MWL, which shares a similar weather belt with Kane County.

That includes Herum, who sidestepped his share of poor weather en route to an All-Star season in 2014. His Minnesota background aside, Herum figures the promise of a new season ought to help keep his approach sharp against adverse conditions, too.

“A lot of us were in South Bend, but there’s a lot of new guys, too,” he said. “I’d say the excitement level is way up. Everybody is excited to get out of spring training, too, and get to a full-season team where you’re playing every day and you’re a little more relaxed.”

With 27 mph winds, Friday’s game time temperature of 58 degrees felt much colder, then dropped steadily during the game. Today’s forecast is favorable – sunny with a high in the mid-60s – but the Cougars know that might not last in Burlington, nor the next homestand.

“It’s a lot different from back home,” said center fielder Colin Bray of Mobile, Alabama. “But you’ve just got to put more clothes on and you go out there and play.”

Luminary watch D’backs farm director Mike Bell met with Cougars field staff Friday afternoon and was on hand during the game.

Call it fate Mejia might have been on track to pitch in Fifth Third Bank Ballpark had the Cougars extended their player-development contract with the Cubs beyond last season. As it is, he’s here anyway.

Arizona acquired Mejia, along with 2014 Cougar and fellow righty Zack Godley, in a December trade for All-Star catcher Miguel Montero.

Saints overcome miscues, sweep ’Dogs

By DEREK WOLFF editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – It wasn’t pretty, but a six-run sixth inning propelled the St. Charles East baseball team to a sweep of Batavia, finishing the Upstate Eight Conference River Division series with a 10-5 win.

The Saints made four errors in the win, three in the top of the sixth alone, allowing Batavia (1-7, 0-3) to rally from a 4-2 deficit to take a 5-4 lead heading to the home half of the sixth.

But East (5-2, 3-0) had five consecutive hitters reach base and batted around in the sixth after shortstop Jimmy Dale singled and stole second base to jumpstart the offense.

The defensive miscues could have been minimized, but the outcome was a step in the right direction, Saints coach Len Asquini said.

“We made mistakes that pushed in runs,” Asquini said.

“I think every one of their runs, maybe that last one, maybe not, but all of their other runs were things that we did. We made mistakes, got guys on base and allowed them to score. So, it was nice offensively to overcome that and that was the big thing there.”

With Batavia ahead, 2-0, in the top of the third and threatening to score again with two outs, left fielder Corbin Marucco made a diving catch in shallow left field to save a run.

“I knew the wind was blowing out, and it looked like a short fly ball that was just coming over the third baseman, but with the wind and everything I thought it was just coming out a little farther,” Marucco said. “I just got a good break on it and it happened.”

With one out in the bottom of the third, Marucco got drilled with a pitch from Batavia starter Glenn Albanese, advanced to second on a wild pitch, reached third on a single from Reid Olson and scored on a two-out, two-run single from catcher Anthony Aducci.

Marucco went 2 for 2 on the afternoon, scoring two runs and recording two RBIs from the ninth spot in the batting or-

der. He drove in the tying run in the bottom of the sixth with the infield in.

Olson, who went 3 for 4, drove in a pair of runs as the Saints batted around in the sixth.

Batavia coach Matt Holm was not present at the game after an underclassman was injured at school earlier in the day, requiring a trip to the hospital. Assistant Alex Beckmann said Friday afternoon he understood the player would be OK. “It was a pretty good ballgame for six innings,” Beckmann said. “We battled for as long as we could there, and then it just kind of spiraled out of control. If we make a couple of plays, we’re right in that game, which is encouraging for us. The record doesn’t show it, but we’ve been in just about every single game and our pitching is going to carry us.”

Continuing to deal with injuries and a plethora of young players, the learning curve has been steep through the first few weeks of the season.

“It’s just getting the chance to play,” Beckmann said. “Last year, we had eight guys leave [to graduation], so this is a whole new experience. It’s just adjusting to the speed of the game at the varsity level and getting guys reps and putting them in situations to succeed.

We’re improving every day; it might not show on the board, but the little things that we’re doing are starting to show.”

Asquini was complementary of Batavia’s starting pitchers in the series and said the sweep of the defending conference champions was a big accomplishment that could go a long way.

Brian Plantz occasionally travels from Algonquin to Omaha, Nebraska for construction work, and holds independent MWA pro wrestling’s heavyweight title when he’s not commuting.

Believe it or not, the 38-year-old might consider the latter more tedious.

“As much as I don’t want to be [champion], I’m kind of forced into it at the moment,” Plantz said.

Plantz will compete as “Brian Blade” when MWA arrives for a 7 p.m. show April 18 at St. Charles’ Pottawatomie Community Mike Center, 8 “Mantaur” North Ave. Halac Earlier this week, he and fellow MWA co-owner Jeff Linscott still were finalizing the match card, perpetuating the Brian Plantz whole issue with that glitzy belt.

Plantz would rather wrestle at the start of shows before overseeing the rest, and has worked to maintain more consistent attendance from wrestlers in Illinois who might take the title.

Until then, he reigns over the Algonquin-based federation. Could be worse things, right?

MWA started in Omaha about a decade ago, four years after Plantz entered independent pro wrestling.

His own company, Plantz Construction, also is headquartered in Nebraska’s largest city, along with many existing referrals and contacts from his lives as

QUICK READ Kevin Druley both Brian Plantz and Brian Blade.

Plantz and his wife, Jill, who grew up in Elk Grove Village, moved to Algonquin for Jill’s job in 2013.

The distance from Plantz’s own home base – a 6½- to 7-hour drive one way, Plantz estimates – hasn’t been a roadblock.

Ditto for a handful of MWA’s personalities, who have been known to commute from Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas, where Plantz still has ties. Linscott, alias Austin Storm, lives in Nebraska, too.

Of course, circumstances – like powerbombs – occur in life, leaving Plantz to scramble as he works to cultivate more local talent.

“If you can’t make the show,” he said, “it kind of makes it tough.”

In any event, Plantz has relished the opportunity to develop more Illinois venues for MWA, namely Pottawatomie, whose staff and set-up he called “pretty accommodating.” The upcoming card marks the federation’s fifth show in St. Charles, and the crowds have climbed in each instance thanks in part to sponsorship help from Rookie’s.

Given MWA’s relative youth in the region, Plantz said exceeding 100 in attendance represents success.

At the most recent Pottawatomie show, on Jan. 31, hours before a major snowstorm, Plantz remembers spotting children, their families, adults and even an

“They all came and enjoyed the show,” Plantz said. “There’s a little bit for everybody. There’s some of that comedy stuff, some stuff aimed for the kids and then some stuff aimed more for adults, but still appropriate for the children. We try to do our best to be a family friendly event that’s cheap, that’s reasonably priced. The whole family can go out and have a good time and hopefully want to go back.”

One week from tonight, fans can expect to see former WWE personality Mike “Mantaur” Halac in one of six scheduled matches.

Wrestling as “Tank” in the United States Wrestling Association in 1997, Halac won the USWA’s heavyweight title before his second return to WWE. Yup, 1997. So sounds like the Mantaur’s due.

FOUR your

CONSIDERATION This week, the Kane County Chronicle sports staff asks four golfers: What are you most looking forward to about watching The Masters on TV?

Mac Cowen Aurora Central Catholic Sophomore “Well, watching The Masters every year, I watch with my dad [Mike], and it’s a lot of fun. Brings family together, especially being a golfer, you know. Watching all the great players makes me kind of dream of being there one day.”

Kacie Gaffney St. Charles East Sophomore “I just want to see all of the new people who really haven’t been as involved in golf lately. I know there’s a lot of talk about Tiger [Woods] returning, but just really seeing … all the wild cards that come out of it, I guess, it should be very entertaining to watch.”

Tori Guyton Kaneland Senior “I’m really looking forward to watching Jordan Spieth play, just because he’s so young and he’s on fire right now. His last four tournaments have been really good, so I’m excited to see what he does. But I’m also excited to see Tiger Woods and what he does ... and what he has to offer.”

Austin Niesel Burlington Central Senior “I think my favorite part is just being able to watch the players play hole by hole. Just Augusta [National] itself is just the coolest course out there. And also that Tiger’s back.

He’s just so cool to watch, and he’s by far the best that there might ever be. … He’s back, he looks healthy and he’s happy doing what he’s doing.”

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.

WEEKEND LIFE

27

I couldn’t very well drag my dear daughter along on a road trip to see my terminally-ill father in Florida and expect her not to have a little fun along the way, could I? No, it wasn’t merely the promised visit to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium that made my girl smile.

For example, as we drove through intermittent snow flurries in Illinois, Indiana and even Kentucky (I know, right?), it dawned on me that I’d under-packed.

“Huh. I forgot my shorts,” I said.

“Mom! We’re going to Florida,” Holly said, laughing.

Right. In my defense, I’d had a lot on my mind, and the last thing I cared to mull over was my wardrobe. As go time neared, when I needed to kiss the big red dog and our Maine Coon kitty goodbye and spring Holly from school, I was distracted by another call from the hospice – and the nagging notion that perhaps I should get my Subaru’s oil checked.

Naturally, while dealing with all of this, other things fell off my to-do list – like printing directions to Corbin, Kentucky, which we hoped to reach before dark. Turns out I didn’t need them, though, because armed with the addresses of our various and sundry destinations and a tech-savvy teenager, who needs maps? But I’m old-school.

Sometimes I just like to SEE how we’re progressing from point A to point B. So, halfway through Indiana, I told Holly to pull out the atlas. I knew Corbin was somewhere on I-75 and asked her to point to it, but she couldn’t locate it.

Not wanting to pull off the road to look, myself, I wracked my brain and remembered that a list of towns and their

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose corresponding map coordinates could be found in the index.

Holly groaned. I grinned. Yay! I’d like to say she actually enjoyed learning to use the atlas, but eventually she tossed it into the backseat and resorted to her own solution, a driving directions app on my phone. By the time we hit the Florida line a couple of days later, my navigator had dubbed the GPS lady “Karen.” (Because, you know, it was way more fun to have three Karens to refer to: the hospice social worker, one of Dad’s nurses, and, well, the GPS lady on the phone.)

“So, where does Karen want us to go, now?” I asked, whenever Karen had been silent for a while.

“Mom, she’ll TELL you,” Holly dryly repeated, feigning annoyance (it must be difficult, dealing with aging parents), while slapping the shade closed on the moonroof again (a debate that quietly raged for 2,500 miles). And then she videotaped me as I drove. Helpless to stop her I finally caught on, but not before she posted the first video on Facebook.

Sweet.

Truly sweet, though, was getting to watch my kids bond. Not in the back seat, but over the Internet (I’ll take what I can get, right?), as they swapped silly selfies and pics of their trips. When Noah sent one of the Eiffel Tower, my

funny girl replied with a tower-shot of her own, a random cellphone tower we’d just passed.

But even Holly ran out of smiles, at one point.

One morning, after breakfast at the beach with our wonderful hosts – my Uncle Jack and his awesome wife, Mary Ellen – we hit the surf.

After showering (in preparation for another visit with my dad), Holly realized that she’d lost her purse at the beach – along with her money, i-Pod and phone. She’d been such a good sport and was the very last person I wished to see so sad this week. I told her we’d retrace our steps, prayed for a bit of divine intervention and insisted we’d find it – and find it, we did! But not before interrupting a date in progress when I spotted it under a bush and dove under a neighboring bench (and the couple smooching there) to retrieve it. I may have humiliated my girl, but at least she cracked a smile. A parent’s gotta do what a parent’s gotta do.

The highlight of our trip, though, as far as Holly is concerned, was getting to finally see Winter the dolphin at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium – a bucket-list dream come true. We also learned the real story behind Winter’s rescue: after becoming ensnared in a crab trap and separated from her mom, her tail was pried loose by a fisherman, after which it fell off in pieces (it wasn’t amputated, as the “Dolphin Tale” movies portray). The folks at CMA (an animal rescue, rehab, and release facility) developed a series of prosthetic tails that have enabled Winter to swim like a typical

dolphin – up and down, not side to side like sharks and fish, which, smart as she was as a baby, she taught herself to do. This enabled her to survive those early days but overdeveloped the wrong muscles, leading to severe scoliosis, which the prosthesis is used to correct.

We didn’t get to see her use it, though, as CMA’s trainers don’t demand that animals participate in therapy activities.

They’re completely voluntary.

My favorite moments of our whirlwind trip include seeing the smile on my animal-lover’s face when she was allowed to handle one of Winter’s old prosthetic tales; and getting dive-bombed at Clearwater Beach by a flock of gulls hungry for my fish and chips. And that moment, halfway through our thrilling ride on the mile-long Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, when my girl, a relative newbie to coaster-riding, proclaimed, with her long-blonde locks billowing behind her, “I love rollercoasters!”

The sweetest moment, though, has to be when, upon seeing the enchanting Cartoogechaye valley in North Carolina, our home when Holly was a newborn, she glanced over her shoulder at the retreating countryside and creek that sparkled in the sun as we left it once again and exclaimed, as I often did when I strolled there with Noah and her so many years ago, “It’s like, magic!”

Yes, baby, it is.

Start small when planting your first vegetable garden In mid-winter, when you’re stuck indoors poring over seed catalogs and looking at pictures of other people’s gardens in glossy magazines, it’s easy to imagine strolling through your large, well-tended plot, plucking deep red tomatoes and perfectly formed cucumbers from burgeoning vines. You brush past the lavender and pause to adjust your sun hat. Then maybe you start to wonder who built the lovely graveled path you’re standing on, and how, and when. And who is weeding, watering and fertilizing all those beautiful rows of crops?

How could you possibly find time between work, carpooling and dinner prep? And, you don’t

LEARNING TO GROW Sarah Marcheschi even own a sun hat.

If you follow one piece of advice when planting your first vegetable garden, remember to start small.

It can be tempting to include a little of everything – an assortment of greens for salads, you rationalize. And toppings for pizza! But the larger your garden, the greater your chances of feeling overwhelmed by the amount of work necessary to maintain it. It can be challenging to give your plants the

attention they need, and if you grow lax in managing the bed, frustration will follow. Starting with a small plot is far less intimidating, and once you have a successful season under your belt, you can go bolder (and bigger) next year.

One way to address weeds and poor soil is to garden in containers or raised beds. This makes particular sense if you have limited sun, (most vegetable plants require six to eight hours of direct sun to thrive and remain disease free), or soil that needs amending (rocky, thick clay). You’ll get good drainage, as well as good quality soil – moist and rich in organic matter, like peat moss or com-

post. Containers can be sited near the house where you’ll keep an eye on them, making it much less likely that weeds will become established. Since they’ll also need plenty to drink, consider positioning them by a water source. Plants can even be grouped together in pots to make quick work of harvesting, like lettuce mixes or tomatoes with basil.

When planning your garden, anticipate what you expect your family to consume over the season. Remember that many plants like squashes and peppers will yield fruit more than once, so you may not need many of them to start. Pay attention to spacing requirements, leave

room to get between plants for weeding and harvesting, and place taller plants and climbers, like snap peas and pole beans, on the north side of your bed to prevent them from shading out shorter neighbors. You can snip plants like basil, mint and leaf lettuce anytime you need them, and with many plants, the more you gather, the more they produce. So, after all the work is done, don’t be afraid to eat your veggies.

ADVICE Pregnant teen weighs options for baby’s future Dear Abby: I have had a very strained relationship with my father for many years. My mother and I are not close because she was incarcerated for most of my life until recently.

I am 16 now, and just found out I’m pregnant. No one knows except the father of my child. For some reason, he is thrilled for us.

I, on the other hand, am terrified of the uncertainties.

I know what my father will say. He will want me to get an abortion, but I would never choose that. My mother is struggling since she was released from prison. I live with my grandparents, who don’t have the means to support a child.

It seems like my only option is to move in with my boyfriend and his family while I finish school and then get a job. Please give me an unbiased perspective. – Uncertain In The South Dear Uncertain: You appear to be an intelligent young woman,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips so I will give it to you straight.

Although you think you know what your father will say, you can’t know for sure until you talk to him. I’m advising you to do that because you may need his help. If you decide to have this baby, he can’t force you to get an abortion.

You and your baby’s father should also talk to his parents, so that, IF NECESSARY, you will be able to stay with them. Planned Parenthood, www.plannedparenthood.org, will provide information about adoption.

You must also make earning your high school diploma a priority, so you will be able to support and educate the child you’re bringing into the world, if you decide to raise him or her yourself.

Dear Abby: I physically assault-

ed a male friend (Aiden) who I was – and still am – interested in. I’m a survivor of domestic violence and have a troubled past. I have sworn not to touch alcohol, and shared with him some of the horror stories regarding what happens when I drink.

A few weeks ago, I hosted a mutual friend’s birthday party at my house. Long story short, Aiden suggested I take a shot. After that shot, and according to other friends at the party, I went crazy.

How can I even look Aiden in the eye? – Sorry Beyond Words Dear Sorry: Recognizing the part that Aiden played in what happened might help. Knowing that, he NEVER should have suggested you have an alcoholic beverage at the birthday party. If your paths cross, stand up straight and say you’re sorry. But frankly, he owes you an apology, too.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Try to optimize your time during a doctor visit Dear Doctor K: I find doctor’s appointments overwhelming. I sometimes forget what I wanted to ask about. By the time I get home, I’ve forgotten half of what the doctor has told me. How can I optimize my time with my doctor?

Dear Reader: Many of my patients tell me they feel the same as you. It’s easy to feel rushed at a doctor’s appointment, or unsure of the information and instructions you’re given.

I’ve told my patients that, with a little preparation, you can get much more out of your visit. And many patients, when they come for the next visit, clearly have followed the advice.

• Prepare for the visit. Write down a list of questions in the days leading up to your visit.

They can be about something complicated, such as your treatment. Or they can be simple, such as whether you should get a flu shot. Refer to your list during the visit to make sure you haven’t forgotten to ask about anything.

I would say about half of my patients have brought such lists to their visits with me.

• Share your symptoms. Volunteer information about your symptoms and other health con-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff cerns, even if you’re not asked.

Are you struggling with insomnia or having more heartburn than usual? The more information your physician has, the better he or she can help.

• Ask questions. When your doctor says something during the visit that you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask questions and voice concerns. Asking for clarification or making sure you understand why your doctor is prescribing a particular medication does not make you uncooperative or pushy. You have a right to understand decisions that affect your health.

• Bring a friend, spouse or adult child with you. It can help to have an extra set of ears to pick up on instructions and other information your doctor relays during your appointment. That person can take notes while you engage with your doctor.

• Bring a list of your current medications, the doses and the schedule of when you take them.

Better yet, put your medications in a plastic bag and bring the bag to the appointment. Many people these days see multiple doctors (their primary care doctor and several specialists). You may be taking medicine prescribed by one doctor that another doesn’t know about.

And don’t forget to include vitamins, supplements and overthe-counter medicines, not just prescription medicines in that bag: They can have negative interactions with your prescription medications, which your doctor should know about.

• Get a recap. Before leaving your appointment, ask the doctor to repeat the instructions you’re supposed to follow. Write down what you need to remember. Ask when the doctor would like you to return for your next visit.

This advice may seem obvious.

But most of my patients didn’t do these things before I urged them to – and some still don’t do these things, despite my urging.

Son used to enjoy school Dr. Wallace: I’m a single mother of a 12-yearold boy. We haven’t seen or heard from his dad since the day he went to Mexico City to “visit” his parents. That was 10 years ago when my son was only 2 years old, so he has never known his father.

It has been very difficult for me to provide for my son alone and I’ve tried hard to also be both a mother and a father to my son. He is a good boy and gets good grades in school. He is small for his age and is the shortest boy in the seventh grade. Being the smallest boy has made him the target for several of the boys who have decided to make his life miserable. They hit him and push him around, and they have taken his lunch money so many times that he now takes his lunch to school.

One of these boys even makes him carry this guy’s girlfriend’s books to her class. Because of this, he has been late to his own class so many times that he had to attend after-school detention.

When I called his counselor at school, she didn’t see this as a problem. In fact, she simply brushed it off and told me that, “Boys will be boys.”

My son always used to enjoy school, but he hates school now, and told me he wants to quit when he turns 16.

I think this is a serious situation, and I don’t want this to happen if I can help it. If I could, I would move to another school district so my son could get an education in peace. This isn’t possible because of limited finances, so I am thinking about contacting the parents of these boys who are bullies.

Please advise me. –

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Mom, Orange County, California Dear Mom: Do not contact the parents.

It’s time for you to make an appointment to have a conference with your son’s school principal. Bullying is a serious school offense, and it must be stopped immediately. The “boys will be boys” response to bullying is unprofessional and 100 percent unacceptable. Your son has the right to attend school to be educated without harassment from thugs!

If for some reason the principal can’t eliminate the problem immediately, your next conference should be with the district superintendent of schools or someone else with power.

Dr. Wallace: You advised a reader that when a person is drunk, even giving him hot coffee won’t make him sober.

I totally disagree. When my girlfriend and I went to a party she got carried away and drank at least six or seven drinks, was slurring her speech and could hardly stand up. I took her home, and on the way we stopped at a fast-food place and I made her drink a cup of hot coffee. When she finished it, she was immediately sober as a judge! – Nameless, East Galesburg Dear Nameless: Hot coffee, a cold shower or any other “quick-cure” will not cause a drunk person to become sober.

The only cure is time.

I think your girlfriend was faking it!

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The mini mystery is finally revealed

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Raymond Chandler said, “At least half the mystery novels published violate the law that the solution, once revealed, must seem to be inevitable.”

This week’s deals have had a common theme, which will now be revealed – and it will definitely not seem inevitable. In each column, South has been in four of a major. Five times, declarer had to play carefully to succeed, and one time he had no chance against best defense. But in all of the layouts, three no-trump would have been either laydown or less taxing.

However, when we find a major-suit fit, we typically go for that strain. When to prefer no-trump is very difficult to ascertain.

In today’s deal, how should South play in four spades after West leads a low diamond?

In the bidding, North was right to make a takeout double, despite the lack of a fourth spade. South’s two-heart cue-bid was purely point-showing, announcing at least 12. He could have had any hand distribution. North bid the first four-card suit he reached as he mounted the bidding ladder.

South jumped to four spades to confirm at least a five-card suit and extra values.

West found the best lead, the diamond three. The bidding marked West with the spade king, heart ace-queen and diamond king.

So, South had to make sure that East could not gain the lead for a heart shift. Declarer won with dummy’s diamond queen, then ran the spade queen. West took the trick and led a second diamond, but South won with dummy’s ace, drew trumps, and cashed the clubs to take 10 tricks: four spades, two diamonds and four clubs.
