Tuesday, as I was photographing the Geneva/St. Charles East softball game at

Geneva, I was mostly trying to stay out of the way of the players and coaches as I leaned in the doorway of the teams’ respective dugouts.

That’s where I photographed East player Jordan Hieber waiting to get into the on-deck circle.

FACE TIME WITH JILL MUSTARD

GENEVA

Volunteer: Resignation won’t affect Fiebelkorn case

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The resignation of interim Animal Control Administrator Robert Sauceda this week should not have any effect on the pending animal cruelty case against a petting zoo owner, an animal care volunteer said.

Elgin resident Stacy Fiebelkorn was charged March 5 with cruelty to animals and a violation of an animal owner’s duty to provide food and care, both misdemeanors.

The charges were in connection with a traveling petting zoo she owns, in which 11 animals and a horse fetus were found dead, and 94 were found in need of food, water and medical attention, officials said.

In the ensuing court actions, Fiebelkorn gave up all

of the animals.

The criminal case is scheduled to resume May 15.

Sauceda, as the interim director, was prominent in organizing the rescue of remaining animals from a farm in Hampshire and their ultimate adoptions to new homes.

Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon’s office said it would not comRobert ment on the Sauceda pending case.

Fiebelkorn attorney Jamie Wombacher did not return a voice mail message seeking comment.

St. Charles resident Laura Van Der Snick, one of the volunteers who helped care for the rescued animals, said the case has “more than enough

“It does not matter what Robert did or didn’t do. ... This should not shake the Fiebelkorn case at all.”

Laura Van Der Snick Volunteer evidence” to continue.

“We’ll be OK. We have more than enough evidence, in my opinion,” Van Der Snick said. “It does not matter what Robert did or didn’t do. ... This should not shake the Fiebelkorn case at all. We have even more witnesses coming forward with information. This is an iron-clad case.”

A political ally of Kane County Board Chairman Chris Lauzen in his 2012 bid

for the chairmanship, Sauceda was hired in late January 2013 as a temporary billing manager in the Kane County Animal Control Department for $52,000 a year.

At Lauzen’s recommendation, the County Board appointed Sauceda interim administrator in November at a salary of $65,000 a year with the proviso that he would have 12 months to prove himself.

Lauzen said at the time that he was confident Sauceda would continue to show great performance and leadership.

Lauzen cited Sauceda’s accomplishments as billing manager, including improvements to the department’s finances, the introduction of social media and reminder phone calls to pet owners about registrations that are due.

“I am delighted to make this appointment,” Lauzen had said at the time.

In the current situation involving Sauceda’s resignation, Lauzen would not comment beyond saying it was a personnel matter.

Sauceda ran unsuccessfully against incumbent Mike Kenyon, R-South Elgin, for a County Board seat in the Republican primary in March 2012.

Kenyon said he had mixed emotions about the situation.

He said he ultimately voted for Sauceda’s appointment because it was better to go along with it.

“I think we have to do a better job of hiring, and we’re going to make mistakes no matter what we do,” Kenyon said. “I think it was sad we had several resumes, and his resume was approved.”

HAMPSHIRE

Teacher investigated for relationship with student

By SHAWN SHINNEMAN sshinneman@shawmedia.com HAMPSHIRE – A Hampshire High School teacher is being investigated for a possible inappropriate relationship with a student.

The 23-year-old female teacher performed sex acts on the then-17-year-old male student and provided him answers to her tests, police said in documents supporting a search warrant issued to obtain the teacher’s phone.

A search warrant also was issued for the student’s phone, which he later gave up voluntarily.

The teacher – who has been placed on paid administrative leave by District 300 – isn’t being identified because she hasn’t been charged with a crime.

According to details submitted by the Hampshire Police Department to obtain the

your source.

search warrant, police first became aware of the situation through a friend of the student involved, who informed the school’s principal. Those involved were interviewed by police April 29.

That friend later told police the student involved told him he met the teacher in the parking lot of a Hampshire restaurant, where they “made out” and she performed a sex act on him, according to the warrant.

The friend – who said he learned of the incidents sometime in 2013 before winter – said the teacher declined to have sex with the student because he was not yet 18, the warrant said.

The student involved told police the sex act was performed between late January and early February, according to the warrant. The student turned 18 in late January.

To subscribe call 630-232-9239

The age of consent in Illinois is 17, but 18 when the acts involve teachers or individuals in a position of authority over youth.

The teacher initially agreed to provide the phone to police during her interview with them. But after retrieving it from her classroom and signing a consent form, police asked her whether she had deleted any messages, the warrant said.

The teacher replied that she had, and that one of the messages said, “Hey babe.”

She was asked whether a relationship of a sexual nature would be revealed when po-

lice investigated, and she replied, “could be,” the warrant said. When asked to elaborate, the teacher asked for a lawyer. She was given back her cellphone.

District 300 spokeswoman Allison Strupeck said a Hampshire High staff member has been placed on paid administrative leave within “the last couple of weeks.”

She confirmed the staff member was placed on leave because of the ongoing police investigation.

The staff member will remain on leave for the duration of the investigation, Strupeck said.

Batavia takes 4 1st-place awards at video festival Know more

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia High School junior Kelly VanTreeck wanted to make a video that showed how harmful bullying can be.

Along with sending a powerful message, the video also took home a first-place award in the annual Chicagoland Television Educators Council Video Festival held at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville. She took home the award in the category of public service announcement.

“I never expected it at all,” VanTreeck said, in talking about the honor. “I hope it will make more people aware of their actions.

A lot of parents and classmates told me it was really good.”

In the video, a high school girl is bullied by two other girls who place a sticky note on her backpack.

She goes home, and the viewer discovers that she has received many of these sticky notes, and the viewer sees her pain.

The video is being shown on BATV as a public service announcement.

VanTreek is a video production student at the high school.

VanTreek’s honor was one of four first-place awards Batavia High School won at the festival.

Vincent Tieri took first place for his zombie mov-

In addition, Eric Karkos took second place for his documentary on Batavia’s cross country team, and Tarin Butterfield received a third-place award for her narrative about how one student’s behavior affects the lives of many in the community.

Batavia High School was competing against 26 other schools from the region.

Batavia video production students had their best year ever at the festival.

“In the 12 years we’ve competed, this is the best we’ve ever done,” said Scott Larson, Batavia High School video production teacher.

“We have never received a first-place award until this year. They are really talented and dedicated students.

Hopefully, we are getting a little better with each year.”

St. Charles woman, 67, charged with prostitution

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A 67-yearold woman was charged this week with prostitution, making her the third woman to be arrested on such a charge since mid-April, the St. Charles Police Department said in a news release.

Sun Hee Gribat, of the 100 block of Lakeside Drive, St. Charles, was charged with the Class A misdemeanor Wednesday at Royal Spa, 504 E. Main St., St. Charles.

According to the release, an undercover officer entered the

business and paid for a massage.

During the course of the service, the massage therapist offered to perform a sexual act for an additional cash payment, police said.

The woman was taken into custody.

Sun Hee Gribat’s Gribat bond was set at $1,500, and she posted the required $150 for bail, police said.

She is due in court at 9 a.m.

June 12 at the Kane County Branch Court in St. Charles.

Unlike the first prostitution arrest in April at H.H. Health Care Therapy on South Tyler Road, this case was not prompted by a citizen complaint, department spokeswoman Lisa Blackwell said in an email.

“Our department will be conducting period massage parlor compliance checks, just as we would for tobacco and liquor compliance checks,” she said.

Blackwell said citizens with complaints or concerns should call the police department at 630-377-4435 or its anonymous tip line at 866-378-4267.

N. Aurora police say man in car asked youths to ‘hang out’ KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com NORTH AURORA – The North Aurora Police Department continues to investigate a suspicious incident that was reported Tuesday afternoon.

At about 3:29 p.m. Tuesday, North Aurora police officers responded to White Oak Drive and Whitney Court for a suspicious incident.

According to a news release from the North Aurora police, officers learned that three juveniles were playing in a front yard when a vehicle stopped in the road, and the driver said to them, “Hey, you guys want to hang out?”

Neither the driver nor the

passenger got out of the vehicle or made any attempt to approach the juveniles, the release stated. The driver of another vehicle behind the stopped car was honking its horn at the time of the incident, according to the release.

After the incident, the juveniles ran to a house and summoned an adult. The vehicle drove away southbound on White Oak. Officers checked the area thoroughly but were unable to locate the vehicle.

The vehicle was described as a newer car that is silver and a similar size to a Chevrolet Caprice.

The driver was described as a white or Hispanic male in his 60s with a gray hair “comb over” and wearing a

red or orange flannel-type patterned shirt.

The passenger was described as a Hispanic male in his 50s wearing a baseball cap.

Approximately 20 minutes later, officers responded to the area of White Oak Drive and Messenger Circle for a report of the same or a similar car driving through the area again. The vehicle left the area, heading north on White Oak, the release stated.

Officers again checked the area but were unable to locate the car.

The incident remains under investigation.

“The questions are all generic,” Shivers said.

in closed session and there’s been no question that it could be in closed session,” Boria said.

Boria also pointed out one of the candidates for the position was sitting in the audience – Tobias – another reason to close the meeting.

Board member Travis Ketterman said the meeting should be closed if they are

talking about questions for specific candidates.

“We now do have a pool of candidates we are going to discuss in closed session and those questions relating to those individuals, to me, is part of the process,” Ketterman said.

Shivers cast the lone vote not to go into closed session. Board member Steve Andersson was absent.

The board also unanimously agreed to release the audio portion of a closed meeting from last fall in which the Illinois Attorney General Public Access Counselor said should be released.

GENEVA – One of the candidates interested in being named the new director of the Geneva Public Library, is Sarah Tobias, director of the Sycamore Library.

After Geneva Library board members went into closed session at Thursday’s special meeting, Tobias said she was interested in Geneva because it served an area about double what Sycamore serves.

“That gives me an opportunity to grow in what I do,” Tobias said. “I’ve been a library director about 14 years, but I’ve been a librarian since 1992.”

Tobias said she has worked as a librarian in DeKalb, Chicago Public Library, McHenry Public Library, and started her career at the Barrington Public Library.

The library board voted, 5-1, with one absent to go into closed session to discuss purchase or lease of property and personnel – specifically to discuss the questions they would ask their pool of applicants for the director position.

The district’s previous director Matt Teske resigned April 10.

“That gives me an opportunity to grow in what I do. I’ve been a library director about 14 years, but I’ve been a librarian since 1992.”

ST. CHARLES TOWN SHIP – Occupants of a two-story home damaged by a fire Thursday in St. Charles Township escaped unharmed, said Greg Benson, chief of the Fox River & Countryside Fire/Rescue District.

Fox River, along with units from several other agencies, responded to the Bluff Drive residence late Thursday afternoon after receiving reports that flames and smoke were coming from the structure, Benson said.

A unit from Fox River’s new Station No. 3 at Carl Lee Road and Route 25 in St. Charles Township was first on the scene, Benson said. He noted units from Station No. 1 in Campton Hills shortly followed.

Fremon Childers, a resident on nearby Meadow Drive, said he had just started watching the 4 p.m. news when he heard the sirens.

“I couldn’t believe how many departments they had here,” Childers said. “It was unreal.”

The Kane County Sheriff’s Office blocked traffic from Bluff Drive at its intersections with Route 31 and

Meadow Drive as firefighters worked the scene.

The fire was concentrated in the attic, Benson said, and crews were able to get it under control in about five minutes. Benson noted the residents were outside the house when firefighters arrived.

Benson did not have damage estimates Thursday but said the Red Cross had been contacted to assist the family.

Investigation into the fire started Thursday and likely would continue today, Benson said.

Units from South Elgin, Pingree Grove, Elburn and Elgin assisted Fox River, Benson said.

Childers, who can see the Bluff Drive home from his driveway, reflected on the fire after crews had left.

“Well thank God that they don’t have a big loss over there,” he said. “They’re nice people.”

Childers said he appreciated the response he saw from Fox River. He noted he was initially leery of the district’s plans to break ties with the city of St. Charles several years ago to start its own stations.

“They did one heck of a job,” Childers said. “[Fox River] made a believer out of me.”

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Pfizer’s bitter pill THE WASHINGTON POST The hot read among policy wonks these days is “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” by French economist Thomas Piketty.

He warns of a long-term trend toward ever-concentrated wealth and urges a global wealth tax to prevent it. While that might be a bad idea even if it were politically feasible, there is merit to the broader notion that industrialized countries could better coordinate taxing wealth, corporate and otherwise, that flits around the world in search of the lowest rates. Case in point – U.S. drug maker Pfizer’s $106 billion offer for Britain’s AstraZeneca, which could enable Pfizer to flag itself as a British company and pay taxes at Britain’s 20 percent rate rather than this country’s 35 percent.

What’s needed is a system for a world in which other countries have slashed their rates below U.S. levels and in which firms increasingly hold capital in forms that can easily be assigned to overseas subsidiaries, such as intellectual property. It’s an urgent issue, because U.S. firms hold $2 trillion in cash abroad rather than in the United States, where it could be invested – and taxed at higher U.S. rates.

President Barack Obama’s proposed solution, offered during the 2012 campaign, was to reduce the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 28 percent while imposing a minimum tax on foreign profits to discourage cash-parking abroad. On the Republican side, Rep. Dave Camp, the retiring chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, offered a plan this year that would have cut the corporate tax rate to 25 percent, the developed-nation average, and subject foreign profits to a one-shot tax and exempt them from U.S. taxes thereafter, in line with the practice of most other industrial countries.

While neither plan matches the other or Piketty’s idea, they at least share common elements – an effort to close loopholes so that the government raises the same revenue even at a lower tax rate, an attempt to harmonize U.S. and foreign tax rules to discourage international rate-shopping and a sense that tax policy should support job-creating investment, not the rent-seeking against which Piketty appropriately warns.

In the age of age discrimination I just filled out a survey, and I’ve never felt so deflated.

Let me explain. Every week a new online edition of a heralded literary journal appears on my laptop. Ordinarily, I revel in the prestigious magazine’s sampling of poetry, fiction, essays and book reviews.

A few weeks ago, the editors promised to place my name in a raffle for a chance to win one of their T-shirts. All I had to do was complete their survey.

Far out! I clicked on it, and up popped the question – What is your age? A.) 25-34 B.) 35-44 C.) 45-54 D.) 55-64 E.) 65 and over.

Those of you youthful enough to answer A through D won’t feel my pain. However, just having turned Medicare age, I begrudgingly chose E. “Get over it, Rick,” you’re thinking. “Sixty-five is the new 62.”

Don’t you get it? The brackets discriminate against seniors! You young’uns safely ensconced in terminal brackets enjoy the promise of advancement. After 10 years of predictable spending and buying habits, you graduate, walking across the bracket commencement stage. You anticipate the next decade like adventurers bound for an undiscovered country.

The only undiscovered coun-

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger try 65-and-overs can anticipate is Hamlet’s, from which “no traveler returns,” and he’s not soliloquizing on long grocery checkout lines. Our die, so to speak, is cast.

See? The survey puts my lot’s lot into a mental and physiological dead end (no pun intended).

The option “65 and over” suggests we’re all the same vintage, helpless to turn tannic or evolve full-bodied, our tastes undifferentiated as water in two Evian bottles.

Surveys have never upset me before. I used to think: “Oh, yeah, 65-and-overs, identical kernels on a dry husk’s corn cob. Wonder what they do for fun besides eat, sleep and repeat ‘what’dja say?’ all day.”

Well, let me tell all you bigoted survey designers, I’ve been to the mountain! I’ve looked over!

And I’ve seen a promising blend of septuagenarians and octogenarians. Even some centenarians. We old fogies might share our insurance, income and arthritis, but each of us is unique as flakes in a snowstorm.

Let me rephrase that. We’re not all flakes, even though some

of you cushy-cozy in your lower-age brackets might perceive us as so. The proof is in the pudding, and even though pudding may be all we can chew, we reject being lumped together as one (except when it comes to senior discounts on movie tickets and merry-go-rounds).

Oh, why bother griping about this? Most old folks don’t care about discrimination; we’re too busy filling out – and swearing at – complex, confusing and contradictory medical forms. That is, once we find them online after an hour searching for the computer’s “on” button, indistinguishable from the surface surrounding it.

By the way, gentle reader, you can attest that I don’t suffer from any age-related mental impediments, right?

Now, if I can just locate this laptop’s return bar, and find where to insert my onion skin typing paper ...

Enlisting canines in fight against cancer Dogs asked to play ‘extraordinary’ role in health screening

By ASHLEY SLOBODA

Gateway Veterinary Clinic in St. Charles is the first member of the Ovarian Cancer Symptom Awareness Veterinary Outreach Program.

OCSA is sponsoring Ohlin, a chocolate Labrador retriever being trained to identify odorants associated with ovarian cancer cells.

S

T. CHARLES – The Ovarian Cancer Symptom Awareness Organization has gotten a puppy – well, sort of.

The St. Charles-based nonprofit – which seeks to expand public awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer in an effort to contribute to early detection of the deadly disease – is sponsoring Ohlin, a chocolate Labrador retriever participating in a cancer detection study.

The $10,000 one-year sponsorship began Dec. 1, and OCSA Executive Director Vallie Szymanski said her organization hopes to raise enough money to sponsor Ohlin for a second year.

“All of our efforts are geared toward his sponsorship,” Szymanski said.

The study Ohlin is participating in is being conducted at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center in Philadelphia. He is

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@ shawmedia.com

being trained under Dr. Cindy Otto.

The dogs are learning to differentiate blood cells from people who have and don’t have cancer, specifically ovarian cancer, Otto said. The goal, she said, is to train them to identify the unique odor associated with the disease.

“We don’t know exactly

what that compound is,” Otto said.

This type of training is more difficult than having dogs sniff out other substances, such as explosives, because the samples are minuscule, Otto said.

“We’re really asking these dogs to do something pretty extraordinary,” she said.

Those behind the study hope it will lead to better screening for ovarian cancer, which is difficult to detect, Otto said.

OCSA’s financial support is appreciated because the study is entirely funded by grants and donations, Otto said. She said costs are $36,000 a year for each dog.

“Their sponsorship is a really big deal,” Otto said.

Szymanski said OCSA’s connection with Ohlin is even more meaningful because his birthday – Aug. 26, 2013 – is the same day St. Charles veterinarian Kurt Klepitsch’s niece died at age 20 of ovarian cancer.

Klepitsch serves on OCSA’s Board of Directors and is part of the nonprofit’s Veterinary Outreach Program, helps educate people about the symptoms of ovarian cancer.

“If you catch it early enough, you’ve got a good shot at survival,” Szymanski said.

Although veterinarians might seem like an odd choice to help spread the message of ovarian cancer symptoms, Klepitsch said at the program’s launch last year that it is not unusual for clients to ask him and his staff about their own health.

The CDC identifies these as signs and symptoms that ovarian cancer may cause: • Vaginal bleeding.

• Pain or pressure in the pelvic or abdominal area.

• Back pain.

• Bloating.

• Feeling full quickly while eating.

• A change in bathroom habits, such as having to urinate very badly or very often; constipation; or diarrhea.

A Q&A about child support I am still amazed at the number of questions regarding child support I receive from clients and potential clients each week. I believe that the confusion stems from two avenues: 1. People genuinely do not know where to find the information 2. The Internet.

To begin, the majority of answers regarding child support can be found in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The statute pertaining to child support itself can be found therein at 750 ILCS 5/505.

One of the questions I received this week was, “When does my child support obligation end?” According to the statute, a “child” includes any child who is younger than 18 years of age or any child who is younger than 19 years of age and still attending high school. So, if Billy turned 18 this week and is still attending high school, you’ll owe a child support obligation until he graduates in June.

The statute also provides a guideline chart to establish the minimum amount of support in the vast majority of circumstances. The obligor pays 20 percent of his or her net income to support one child, 28 percent of the net income to support two children, 32 percent of the net income to support three children, 40 percent of the net income to support four children, 45 percent of the net income to support five children, and 50 percent of the net income to support six or

IN YOUR COURT Anthony Scifo more children. So, in Illinois, Jon would owe Kate 50 percent of his net income for their eight children.

The statute also provides a definition of “net income.”

It is the amount of income from all sources, minus certain statutory deductions. Those statutory deductions are laundry listed in the statute, including – but not limited to – federal income tax, state income tax, social security payments, mandatory retirement contributions required by law or the obligor’s employment, and union dues.

You’ll note I bolded the term “from all sources.” This is probably the most frequently asked question I receive, and yes, it does include stock gains, work bonuses and overtime pay.

I hope this answers some of the questions of our readers.

UPSTATE EIGHT CONFERENCE MEET

Focused Saints take home River title

By IAN MATTHEWS editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – If the Upstate Eight Conference girls track and field Championships are any indication on how the Tri-Cities teams are going to do starting next week at IHSA sectionals, there will be some very happy teams after the meet.

St. Charles East took the UEC River Division title by nearly 40 points over second-place Geneva with 163 points, narrowly missing overall meet champion Neaqua Valley, who had 175.

East started the meet with a bang, taking the 4x800-meter relay, beating second-place Geneva by 11 seconds.

The Saints four runners – Anastasia Honea, Corrin Adams, Lauren Towne, Toree Scull – ran a 9:40.52 to finish first.

Scull carried over her strong race in the 4X800 relay by winning the 1600 in 5:10.54. Scull paced herself and raced behind Streamwood’s Gabby Juarez for most of the race before finishing with a kick to dust off Juarez by three seconds.

“The mile and the 4x8 are my focus for sectionals.

I’m a distance runner and I like the mile because it has distance but there is also speed in it,” Scull said. “I’m trying to get under 5-flat for state but the weather conditions weren’t that great for that.”

While the distance runners may not have liked the unseasonably warm temperatures, competing sprinters welcomed the warmth with open arms.

Diminutive Batavia freshman Hannah Schlaman had a great day for the Bulldogs, winning the 100-meter dash with a 12.84.

“I was really fast in the 100 and it definitely feels good to win it at the conference meet,” Schlaman said.

“It was not a PR, that’s a 12.1, but it was still overall a good day.”

Schlaman was part of Batavia’s 4x100 relay team that

came in second to East, that featured Notre Dame-bound sprinter Jordan Shead.

Shead helped East win the 4x100 with a 49.74 before coming from behind to beat Schlaman in a very competitive 200-meter dash.

“That’s just how my legs work, it takes them a while to get going,” Shead said of her win in the 200. “They’re just so long it takes them a while to get up to speed. So on the 200 meters it takes me a little while longer to get up to speed.”

Shead also won in the 400 meter dash with a 57.22 in what was a great day for East.

The Saints won by nearly four seconds in the meets’ final event, taking the 4x400 relay in 4:01.99. “it was a dress rehearsal for next week. We talked about options and things and ways we wanted to put them,” East coach Tim Wolf said. “We’ve been running

kids all over the place all year long and have started to put them together for how we want them at sectionals next week. It was an awesome meet; these guys all did a great job.”

Geneva seemed to be on

East’s heels in most events, placing second in the 4x800 and 4x400 relays. Kathryn Adelman ran a strong 800, taking home the title with a 2:20.55.

Veronica Ramming won the discuss by a wide mar-

gin with a 102-0 seed mark.

“I think we’re right where we need to be. Obviously we have a bigger meet next week with sectionals,” Geneva coach Peter Raak said. “Ramming won with a new PR tonight. Kathryn obviously in the 800 did well and we had a ton of all-conference girls so it was a good night for us.”

Geneva finished second in the River division with 128 points while Batavia was third with 122.

when you’ve got the whole team into it, whether you’re playing or not,” Barry said.

“Baseball’s a lot of noise, so if you’re loud, you’re bound to have some effect. Every little thing has it.”

Well, almost everything.

Four Saints errors helped North (16-7, 10-5) score each of its runs.

Designated hitter Joe Kuczek smacked an RBI double to punctuate a two-run rally in the third.

“I’m really soul-searching, because for us to come out and just kind of go through the motions today is shocking to me,” said North coach Todd Genke, back in the dugout after missing Wednesday’s game after an ejection in Tuesday’s series opener.

“If I could get into the 16and 17-year-old mind, I’d love to see what goes on in there.

Because there’s days like today where I don’t know. But the beauty is, we’re still right in the middle of this thing.”

ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East second baseman Alex Abate grinned from the dugout as the Saints’ reserves helped the team bat around in Thursday’s sixth inning.

To start, the rally triggered the run rule in a 14-3 victory at St. Charles North and secured an Upstate Eight Conference River Division sweep.

But Abate and Co. also remained happy because their teammates stayed dialed in.

Many of the team’s late atbats mirrored the one Abate turned into a two-out, tworun single for the game’s first runs in the second inning.

“When we go up to bat, we get up on the plate, try to go middle-away, and we just be aggressive and we try to hit line drives through the infield,” Abate said. “And it’s been working out for us the past couple games, so we’re really excited about everyone doing really well.”

East (17-8, 13-6 UEC River) struck for four, two-out runs in the second inning to seize early control it didn’t relinquish. Abate scored one batter after his hit, when

center fielder Brannon Barry banged a two-run double off the wall in left center. Barry finished 3 for 4 with two doubles and four RBIs. His No. 3 lineup slot was productive, period, as pinch-hitter Max Powers hit a two-run single in the sixth that made it 13-3.

Four innings earlier, the Saints’ bench greeted Abate with a playful, MauAlex Abate ry Povich-ian chant of “Alex Abate … YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!” early in his at-bat. Moments later, however, Abate’s hit started the Saints on their way to taking full custody of the crosstown showdown after clinching a series win with Wednesday’s eight-inning victory at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark.

The base runners and chatter kept coming to back winner Mike Boehmer, who earned his fifth victory with six innings of four-hit, six-strikeout ball. Shortstop Jake Asquini had a two-run single in the fourth, and East capitalized on seven North Stars walks.

By JARED BIRCHFIELD editorial@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The St. Charles North boys tennis team swept doubles play to beat Batavia, 5-2, Thursday in an Upstate Eight Conference River Divison dual meet.

While North won all four of the double matches, Batavia took two of the three singles matches. The Bulldogs prevailed at the No. 1 and No. 3 singles. All three singles matches were decided by straight sets.

“Batavia is the reigning conference champ. They got everybody back, so we knew coming in it would be a tough match,” North coach Sean Masoncup, whose team remained unbeaten in conference while handing Batavia its second league defeat.

“I was proud of how the guys fought for every stinking point.

“Our goal is to get better at every practice and come into the matches and see progress and today we did just that. We’ll go from here and try to get even

better and win the conference.”

Batavia coach Brad Nelson also saluted the North Stars.

“They were the better doubles teams today, no doubt about it,” he said. “They were more aggressive, they executed better, they played with more energy and that’s the bottom line.”

The North Stars won three of the four doubles matches in straight sets. Only North’s No. 3 doubles team of Brady Goldsworthy and Peter O’Brien needed a third set to win their match.

“We were ready to go and got off to a good start with an early break in serve and we tried to carry that momentum through the whole thing,” said North’s Grant Spellman, who partnered with Aaron Amburgey for a win No 1. doubles. “We started off more cautiously than we usually do. It was windy today, so we didn’t want to make any additional errors than were necessary.”

Keith Hedges and Mitch

BLACKHAWKS

Riggs won the No.2 doubles for North while teammates Luke Dunteman and Trevor Kurtzhals won at No. 4.

“I felt like I was getting a lot of free points off my serve,” said Batavia’s Tim Murat, who defeated Matt Ernst at No. 1 singles for his 18th victory of the season. “And I got a lot of good first and second shots and that set me up to win the point pretty well.”

Batavia’s James Carr edged Tom Nina to win the No. 3 singles match.

“I was very pleased with James Carr,” Nelson said about the junior. “I thought he played as well as I have seen him play.

His serve has been outstanding.”

North No. 2 singles player Matt Kramer beat Drake Swift for the North Stars only singles victory.

“He’s been the unsung hero this year. He’s a pretty quiet kid but just goes about his business,” Masoncup said. “He had another big win today.”

chances for the Hawks

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Worried? No, nobody’s worried about Patrick Sharp.

The shots are there, the effort is there, the chances are there. The goals, his teammates and his coach are sure of it, will come.

Frustrated? OK, maybe Sharp’s a little frustrated.

But only because the Blackhawks were shut out by the Minnesota Wild in Game 3, and Sharp couldn’t do anything about it. When the Hawks were winning, the goose eggs didn’t bother him nearly as much.

Impatient? That might be the one.

Marian Hossa had a bit of a scoring slump, and he ended it in a big way. Brandon Saad did, too. Sharp, with just one goal and two assists in 11 games, knows it should be his

turn soon – he hopes as soon as tonight in Game 4 at XCel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.

B u t Game 4 Sharp’s not waitat Minnesota, ing around 8:30 p.m. today, for it to fiNBCSN, 87.7-FM nally happen.

“I don’t think waiting is the right word,” Sharp said. “You sit around waiting for things to happen, and usually this time of year, they’re not going to happen.”

So Sharp will keep shooting and try to regain the form that made him the Hawks’ most consistent producer and a Conn Smythe Trophy candidate in each of their two recent Stanley Cup runs.

BASEBALL: MARMION 15, AURORA CENTRAL CATHOLIC 5 (5 INN.)

By THOMAS DELVES editorial@ kcchronicle.com AURORA – After the Marmion baseball team recognized its nine seniors, the Cadets turned their focus on Suburban Christian Conference rival Aurora Central Catholic winning, 15-5, in five innings.

The Cadets (13-6, 11-1 SCC Blue) scored their 15 runs on 12 hits. In the second and third innings, Marmion scored four runs and in the bottom of the fifth, added five.

Marmion coach Dave Ra-

kow was proud of his seniors and glad they got the win on their last home game.

“It’s always a big deal for the seniors to win on senior night,” Rakow said. “Especially when it’s ACC, crosstown rival.”

ACC (15-11, 7-7 SCC Gold) jumped on the board in the top of the first with an RBI single

by Mike Fidler, but the Cadets answered in the bottom of the inning. After leadoff man Edgar Sanchez singled on the first pitch of the at-bat, he stole second and moved to third on

a ground out by Brian Simon.

Catcher Brady Roberts then had an RBI groundout to the shortstop to tie the game at 1.

The Cadets then scored nine consecutive runs highlighted

by Simon’s two-run single in the bottom of the second.

“Short fast swing is what coach has been telling me to do,” Simon said, “I think it was a good team win.”

Simon added another RBI in the bottom of the fifth giving him three for the game.

In the top of the fifth the Chargers made a four-run

id innings and was replaced by senior Garrett Fisher who closed out the game.

Andrew Bruss started for the Charges and struggled with control in the early going getting his team into trouble. He was replaced in the bottom of the fifth by Matt Rahn.

Rakow was able to reflect on his seniors after the game.

“They’re a talented group but, the best thing about these guys is they have an awesome work ethic (and) very coachable,” Rakow said. “These guys are all about the team.”

SOFTBALL: MARENGO 3, BURLINGTON CENTRAL 1

East’s Koenen nets No. 100 Rockets fall short KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East senior boys tennis standout Jasper Koenen rolled to his 100th career victory Thursday, winning, 6-0, 6-1 in a home dual against Neuqua Valley.

“It’s a real special win, something he had been looking forward to achieving this season,” Saints coach Rob Livermore said.

“He’s been working to get to this point, and we’re real happy for him.”

Koenen, a Michigan State recruit who finished fourth in the state last season, helped East stay close in a 4-3 team loss in the Upstate Eight Conference crossover.

Livermore also praised the play of the No. 1 singles team of George Spoerl and Alex Winters.

“We had a lot of good, close matches today,” Livermore said.

But only one centurion.

Koenen, 17-0 this season, trails Justin Bowman (104 victories) for the most in school history, Livermore said.

Geneva 6, Streamwood 1: At Geneva, Geneva yielded just seven games in sweeping doubles play in the UEC River dual.

The No. 3 pairing of Quade Spellman and Curran McQuilkin won, 6-0, 6-0.

BASEBALL Batavia 13, Elgin 1 (6 inn.): At Elgin, Reagan McReynolds tripled and drove in three runs as part of a 3 for 3 day for Batavia (18-31, 13-2-1 UEC River). Micah Coffey, Kyle Niemiec and Andrew Siegler added two hits apiece.

Geneva 4, Larkin 3: At Geneva, Jason Croci had two hits and two RBIs for Geneva (16-8, 12-7 UEC River), which rallied for a run in the bottom of the seventh.

Kaneland 2, Sycamore 1: At Sycamore, Joey Panico’s seventh-inning sacrifice fly scored pinch-runner Connor Fedderly and provided the winning margin for Kaneland (14-8, 9-3 Northern Illinois Big 12 East).

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com BURLINGTON – Burlington Central softball coach Wade Maisto knew for his team to pull out the win against Marengo amid windy conditions Thursday, the Rockets needed to limit mistakes and produce timely hitting.

Ultimately, the lack of both led to the Rockets’ downfall in a 3-1 loss to Marengo, which gave the Indians the Big Northern Conference East Division title outright. All three runs Marengo (18-9, 10-0 BNC East) scored were unearned.

“When I saw the wind, I knew it wasn’t going to be a game where there were going to be doubles, triples and home runs,” Maisto said. “Both teams have kids who can hit the ball over the fence, but not with this wind. I knew it was going to come down to doing the little things right.”

Burlington (13-7, 8-2) took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on freshman Kelly Wiater’s twoout RBI double. Rockets starting pitcher Emily Kisch (6-3) did a good job limiting the Indians’ opportunities, keeping them scoreless through five innings.

Marengo finally broke through in the sixth. Jessica Turner led off with a walk and Abby Kissack attempted a sacrifice bunt. Kissack’s laid one down the third base line, but a

throwing error allowed her to reach and gave Marengo two runners on with nobody out.

Kisch got the next batter to pop out but a hit batter loaded the bases. With senior catcher Taylor Carlson at the plate, she delivered with an RBI single to tie the game at 1. Marengo tried to score another run on the hit, however, Burlington threw out Kissack at home on the play for the second out of the sixth.

The Rockets had an opportunity to cut into Marengo’s lead in the bottom of the sixth, but Indians right fielder Veronica Ruelius made the defensive play of the game. With one out in the inning, Rebecca Gerke walked and Tori Harvey doubled to put two runners in scoring position.

Kassidy Gaylord hit a fly ball to right field, which Ruelius caught. Maisto had Gerke tag up and go home on the play, and Ruelius delivered a perfect throw to Carlson behind the plate to nab Gerke and end the inning with Marengo maintaining its two-run lead.

“On a normal day I wouldn’t send [Gerke] because it wasn’t a deep enough ball,” Maisto said.

“I was hoping the wind would take the throw or bounce it in and we could take a run. I didn’t think it was a day you were going to get three hits in a row. I took kind of stupid risk there and we got burned on it. But I’m not going to second guess myself.”

NOTEWORTHY

The

KPV’s sweet proposition Pole vaulting and bad carbohydrates suddenly mix for the Kaneland boys program each May. For the third straight spring, Knights pole vault coach Andy Drendel is offering what he calls “quite the incentive” for any vaulter who establishes a personal record this month: A free small Boston Shake at Alice’s Place in Elburn.

Should an athlete PR twice, he would earn a large Boston Shake, a delicacy that combines a milkshake and sundae.

The challenge stemmed from former Knight Kory Harner telling teammates about the dessert during a practice.

Senior Dylan Kuipers – whose PR is 14 feet, 6 inches – and classmate Dan Evers (13-3) have paced the group this season, competing neck-and-neck at most events.

“They do a good job. They’re good buddies,” Drendel said. “They were this tall as freshmen, you know (putting his hand mid-waist), doing everything together, and now it’s kind of cool to see them as seniors doing this together.”

Sophomores Mitch Goren and Mike Rinella round out Kaneland’s top four.

In addition to their PRs, the group also will have another standard in its crosshairs at tonight’s Kane County meet at File photo by Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com Streamwood: Kaneland product Sam Kaneland’s Dylan Kuipers competes in the pole vault during the 2013 Kane County Boys Kranz’s seven-year-old county record of Track Meet at Burlington Central High School. Kuipers and the Knights will compete at 16-0. today’s county meet at Streamwood.

It’s day-to-day Marmion hosted Kaneland and Aurora Central Catholic in a boys triangular Tuesday. The meet, like the Cadets’ Tuesday event against Riverside-Brookfield and Oswego last month, served a largely developmental purpose.

“You’re trying to get your JV kids, your frosh-soph kids, in a meet because that’s still the key to your program is numbers,” Cadets coach Dan Thorpe said.

“And that’s why we’ve been successful is we’ve had depth. We’re able to get those kids to come out as freshmen, and they get the chance to compete on those nights.”

Although St. Charles East girls coach Tim Wolf agrees and often follows

similar protocol, he still remembers a different midweek landscape as an ACC athlete in the late 1990s.

“We’re finding that a lot of coaches are training through the week and don’t necessarily run all their kids in Tuesday meets before weekend invitationals,” Wolf said.

“When I was competing, we were always racing, you know. I think we even did dual meet records, and that just doesn’t happen anymore.”

a victory in the 4x400 relay.

Blake Crowder, Peyton Piron and Jorden Berendt – the first three legs in the quartet – watched in anticipation.

Batavia likes its chances should it tangle for the 4x400 county title with the Knights or any other challengers today.

“I’m more of a chaser, so they put me out in front because that’s how I get a better time, and Peyton, he’s just really good at setting himself,” Crowder said. “And then our two distance guys, Berendt and Curnock, they’re just good Batavia boys dogged in 4x400 at pacing and they’re really good at Batavia’s David Curnock escaped a keeping the lead and managing things charging Nathaniel Kucera of Kaneland from there.” two weeks ago to help the Bulldogs boys – Kevin Druley, kdruley@shawmedia.com close the Peterson Prep Invitational with

Fortunate time for recognition G

reetings from Pine View! Arrived here by way of Cadence Delnor and whatever corporate names apply.

It’s me, No. 321, as I was always addressed.

No need for concern, no scary or painful things happening – just time for a good tune-up! Nevertheless, the welcoming hugs and smiles of recognition have been a swell tonic already. I’m tense about not finding “Law and Order” on my TV but otherwise this is the second best place to be.

Best place, of course, is Camp Randall Stadium with a Badger football game victory assured.

A warm welcome is one of those double-edge, tricky to translate moments. It’s good news you are back yet it’s bad news you need to be here.

Similarly, when acing the cognition questionnaire (how far gone is your brain?)

I sometimes stumble, excusing to myself that I wasn’t paying attention because it is boring. So, how do you say to the deadly serious recorder that I tend to remember interesting things like the dialogue from every “Law and Order” rerun or the guy who shot a two-pointer from the wrong end of the court?

I’m also in clover calendar-wise. It was Teacher Appreciation Day just a few days ago. Funny, no card or flowers, but I do have a sense of lingering gratitude for those recipients of term paper due date exten-

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry sions or overlooking the athletes who came to class before showering and in pajamas and were not subject to direct criticism.

Hope all of you were gracious in showing your appreciation to the many fine teachers in your community. For those with a not-so-fine teacher, know that the term is nearly over and look ahead.

Mother’s Day presents some hopeful options since there are two generations that must surely acknowledge the biological link even if not totally appreciative of the cool educational toys; the rides to somewhere; and the highlighting of their own special days – birthdays and every other day something is needed.

As I gaze at the wall here at PV, I note an activity calendar proclaims that May is Older Americans Month. Congratulations to all of us and particularly my Class of ’56 buddies who all look just as young as I do.

Here’s a few tips if you wish to do good things for Older Americans: Do no stare at the wheelchair or other appliances. If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. If you are thinking ahead to your own inevitable infirmity – get a catalog. We

elders almost always have a tender spot in the heart and a sharp tongue, so approach accordingly.

Finally, hats off to Nurse’s Week. Just now, the loud speaker (aptly named) just invited all the staff nurses to a room to celebrate the occasion with a piece of cake.

I felt left out probably since I have been officially a nurse since 1959 but, then, I am clearly in the recipient category now.

Another set of tips: Appreciate your caregiver for all the add-on things while addressing your health. Hail to those who listen to your “war stories,” and apologize for all of the system failures out of his or her control. A high five to any who actually call you by your given name. Don’t try to hug your nurse, however, they all have to wear gloves before touching you.

Finally, if these recognition days don’t work out for me this time, I am prepared to petition for a National Fat Lady Day. Perhaps, time it near Independence Day when all the good things are in season – sweetcorn, brats, potato salad and America’s own apple pie!

Celebrate!

Diesel engine adds to allure of economy in Jetta One might think Volkswagen has overloaded the consumer with choices when it comes to the 2014 Jetta.

There are 17 models this year. Either that’s too many making it tough to decide, or, another way to look at it, nobody can complain about a lack of choices. Prices range from $16,895 to $31,895 and, as expected, reflect trim levels and powerplants (hybrid, gasoline, diesel).

The model arriving for a week of test driving was a TDI, which means turbocharged direct injection.

Volkswagen utilizes TDI on diesel products.

The list price on the tested model was $23,195, and that bought a lot of amenities, such as leather-like trim, and all-season tires mounted on 16-inch alloy wheels. It also bought economy.

During the test week with two adults aboard in mostly highway driving, the 3,161-pound four-door, five-passenger, front-wheel drive midsize sedan averaged 38.1 miles per gallon.

The Environmental Protection Agency rates the vehicle at 30 mpg city and 42 mpg highway.

Typical of a Volkswagen, the TDI’s engine exhibited a great deal of energy.

The powerplant in the tested TDI was a turbocharged 2.4-liter, 140-horsepower inline four-cylinder mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Expect to pay an extra $1,000 or more for a six-speed automatic.

Acceleration was quick in the tested turbo and, unofficially, the race from 0 to 60 miles per hour unofficially took seven seconds. Diesel is the fuel for the 14.5-gallon tank.

This is a very quiet, solid and comfortable sedan, whether sitting in the front or the rear seats. To some extent,

Provided photo

More length, plus a wider and lower stance, give the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta a sporty look. A character line, or crease, runs from headlights to the rear taillamps.

BEHIND THE WHEEL Jerry Kuyper the aerodynamic curvature of the roof makes entry and exit a stooping exercise for taller

people (in excess of 6 feet in height). For a midsize sedan, leg room in front and the rear is generous. Officially, measurements are 41.2 and 38.1 inches, front and rear, respectively.

Performance comfort is enhanced by a multilink rear

suspension with sport-tuned spring and damper settings.

Coil springs, telescopic dampers and antiroll bars are components of the rear and front strut suspension system.

During hard cornering exercises, there was little inside wheel spin. The ride is on the

hard side.

The four-speaker audio system serves AM-FM-satellite radio, compact disc player, MP3 playback, auxiliary inputs, iPod connection and Bluetooth.

Jetta a sporty sedan with in-style exterior • JETTA Continued from page 27 Power includes front seats, heated exterior mirrors, door locks and express windows, air conditioning, cruise control and intermittent wipers. Power windows on the Jetta are not simply one or two in front with one of them one-touch express up and down. On the Jetta, there are four power windows, two in front and two in the rear, and all four are express onetouch up and down.

On the safety side, stability and traction controls are standard on all Jetta models, as well as front driver and passenger front and side airbags, curtains for both rows, headrests complementing seat belts, a four-wheel antilock braking system, brake assist and electronic brake distribution. In the Jetta, stability control electronics detect skidding and help prevent it from breaking out of control.

When an airbag deploys, Volkswagen’s crash response system reacts by unlocking the doors, turning off the fuel pump and activating the hazard lights.

In 2012 Volkswagen redesigned the Jetta to keep up with the competition in the midsize sedan market.

Better materials, such as a soft-touch dashboard, replaced plastics on the interior. On the exterior, a wider stance, a creased beltline running from headlamps to taillights and dual tailpipe tips at one rear corner gave it a slightly more sporty look than prior models. The changes continue into the 2014 models.

Today the car is 2.9 inches longer at 182.2 inches. This isn’t a whole lot, but it does allow for more leg room and trunk space. There is a passthrough from the 15.5-cubic foot, lighted trunk to the split and fold rear seats.

Horizontal blades in the grille and in the lower intake are designed to make the car

look wider than it is. Pronounced wheel arches add visual width and weight to the car.

Engines remained basically the same following the 2012 redesign. The TDI is representative of the entire Jetta line. The Jetta is a sporty sedan with an exterior that will not go out of style for years to come.

Warranty coverage is three years or 36,000 miles with 24-hour roadside assistance, and scheduled maintenance is free for two years or 24,000 miles. Powertrain coverage is five years or 60,000 miles.

For information, visit www.VW.com.

Besides the Jetta, diesel is an engine option for the Passat, Golf, Jetta Sport Wagon, Beetle, Beetle convertible and Touareg.

Highway fuel economy is 41 to 43 mpg for all except the sport utility Touareg, which is 29 mpg. All, except the V6 Touareg, are four cylinder vehicles.

More Content Now Seth Rogen fans will know and be happy with what they’re getting in “Neighbors.” He’s once again playing the babbling, dope-smoking goofy guy with a good heart who you probably don’t want to cross because he’s also got a temper. Rogen is definitely one of the reasons to either see or stay away from this movie.

There’s a whole different thing going on for Zac Efron fans. Never mind there have been many similarities in roles he’s played in the past. Suffice it to say that what he does here is something you haven’t seen him do before, and he does it well enough to make that another reason to see the movie.

He could even make some NEW fans.

And, for those concerned about such things, he’s buff!

Rogen plays Mac, a nice fellow who lives happily with his wife, Kelly (Rose Byrne), and their new baby in a nice house in a nice suburban neighborhood, and all is well, including their sex life. A sample of that is on funny and weird display in the film’s opening moments, with the baby sitting by, taking it all in. The only mild glitch for Mac and Kelly is that they’ve just realized that they’ve become homebodies, ADULT homebodies. And though they’re content, they’re wondering how it all happened so quickly.

But there are soon other things to worry about, like all of those fraternity brothers moving in to the house right next door, no doubt getting ready to make all sorts of college-style noise, keep the baby awake and make life horrible.

So, with thoughts of fending off any problems, they pay a friendly visit to the frat house, with a housewarming gift of some fine reefer (is there reefer in EVERY Rogen movie?), and a casual request to please try to keep the noise down.

Their initial meeting with Delta Psi Beta president Teddy (Efron) goes quite well. It’s their second visit, with a calm and collected complaint about the noise that has begun, that gets the film’s story rolling. An agreement is made that if the noise bothers them again, they’ll come on over and ask to turn it down, but won’t call the cops,

More Content Now photo

Rose Byrne (left) and Seth Rogen star in the film “Neighbors.” and all will be fine.

But upon their departure, there’s talk among the frat brothers and their girlfriends of breaking the place in with “the most legendary rager of all time,” followed by their first reference to “the old people” next door.

Of course, the “old people” end up calling the cops. And the war is on, steadily escalating from that point to just about the end of the film, with each side hatching devious plans against the other, lots of frenetic partying, noise, dope-smoking, drinking and casual cursing.

Mac and Kelly want the frat to implode, or at least be kept on a leash by the college dean (played with dry wit by Lisa Kudrow), who’s more interested in good publicity versus bad publicity for the school than in the students’ behavior.

Under the direction of Teddy, who freely admits that he “isn’t very academically inclined,” that behavior is less than civil.

It’s also safe to say that, with the exception of brainy frat member Pete (Dave Franco), the guys in “Animal House’s” Delta Tau Chi were smarter.

But this film is smarter than most others in the college movie genre, thanks to fledgling feature scripters Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien, and proven comedy director Nicholas Stoller (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him to the Greek”).

Bad taste flows through this, but it’s written and delivered in a funny manner. Fast-paced dialogue shoots back and forth between Rogen and Byrne, who are completely believable as a couple.

Efron neatly manages to maneuver between the good and bad streaks inside his character.

The only thing that holds the film back a little is that it never turns quite dark enough. It threatens to a couple of times but ends up staying safe, not going over the black comic edge. That might have made it funnier, or at least a little nervier.

• “Neighbors” was written by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien, and was directed by Nicholas Stoller.

The film stars Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron and Dave Franco. It is rated R.

32

Wife gets taste of freedom from abuse Girls flattered by calls Dear Abby: I’m a 27-year-old woman trapped in a loveless marriage. My husband is a few years younger, and very co-dependent. Before he dated me, he had never had a girlfriend or a sexual encounter. I came into the relationship with a child and some trust/fear issues because my ex had abused me.

My husband has now become verbally, sexually and to a lesser degree, physically abusive, to the point of striking my 5-year-old son. I threw him out for that, but caved to pressure from my family to take him back. They think he’s a “stabilizing” influence in my life. They don’t know about, or can’t grasp, his abuse or the abuse I survived previously. If I hint at it, they accuse me of “lying for attention.”

My husband has left for basic training with the army and will be gone for a few months. I already feel freer, lighter and more able to cope with things. If I leave him while he’s away, the social and family repercussions will be devastating. My son and I may be forced to relocate.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I’m torn and afraid. I went through with the marriage only to please my family, as the abuse started before the wedding. It has been a year and a half, and all I can think about is getting out. Help me, please. – Canadian Reader Dear Reader: Of course I will help. Deciding to leave an abusive partner can be wrenching as well as frightening. However, because abuse tends to escalate, it is what you MUST do. It is shameful that your family isn’t supportive, but don’t let that stop you. Relocate if you must.

You need to form an escape plan. The way to do that is to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. The phone number is 800799-7233. Counselors there can refer you to help in your area – they have done this for other Canadian women. They also offer education and empowerment programs so

that victims will be less likely to be sweet-talked by their abusers into returning.

Don’t wait to reach out because your son’s physical and emotional health depend on it.

Dear Abby: I have a friend who lives a few states away. We talk on the phone every week. Either she calls me or I call her. Every time she calls me, it’s when she is driving somewhere. As soon as she arrives at her destination or pulls up in her driveway, she says, “I’m home (here) now. Gotta go!” and hangs up.

I stay on the phone all the time she rambles on and never cut her short. It’s really starting to get to me. What should I do? – Fuming In Florida Dear Fuming: If this has been happening “for years” and you are just now writing me about it, I’d call that one slow burn. Pick up the phone, call your friend and tell her exactly how you feel about it.

If you don’t, she’ll continue doing what she has been doing.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Exercise is possible for the mobility-impaired Dear Doctor K: I have arthritis, which makes it difficult for me to get up and around. But I’d still like to exercise regularly. Any suggestions?

Dear Reader: Many of my patients with arthritis have the same question. They want to exercise regularly, but they have a medical condition that interferes with their mobility. Or their joints are so sore and stiff from arthritis that they have difficulty getting around. I’ll tell you what I tell them. The more you move, the more your ability to exercise will grow.

I spoke to Kailin Collins, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. She recommends the following for people with mobility-limiting conditions: • Swimming is a great option for people with arthritis and limited mobility. That’s because the buoyancy of water takes the load off your joints. Swimming in warm water particularly soothes sore joints.

• Bicycling is a great way to improve your aerobic fitness.

Try a recumbent seat, which puts your body in a reclining position, making biking easier. Or try a restorator, or mini-cycle, bike. It

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff sits on a U-shaped base, so you can pedal away without leaving your chair. Then set it on a table to work your arms.

• Seated strengthening exercises. You can do a wide range of muscle-strengthening exercises while seated. Try arm raises, biceps curls or overhead presses with light weights. Put a medicine ball between your knees and squeeze it to work your inner thighs. Lift and lower one straight leg at a time. (I’ve put descriptions and illustrations of two seated strengthening exercises on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

• Stretching is important for improving flexibility and preventing injury. Stretch a few times a day and after every workout. Or try yoga, which both stretches and tones.

• Finally, don’t forget balance exercises. Maintaining your balance is especially important for preventing falls.

As you start out, consider working with a professional. A physical therapist, for example,

can design an individualized program that takes into consideration your limitations and exercise goals.

I realize you may be dubious about my basic message. Because you hurt too much to exercise, you should exercise regularly to hurt less. But it’s true – if you do the right exercises.

A patient of mine, a man in his 70s, once said to me: “I’ve been a couch potato all my life. I’ve been hearing that regular exercise was good for my health, probably since I was in kindergarten. But I never believed it. Now I believe it, but it’s too late: I just ache too much.”

I gave him the same advice I’ve given you. He looked at me like I was selling snake oil. But he agreed to try it – very slowly at first – seated exercises three times a week for 10 minutes a day.

Today he does 30 minutes on a stationary bicycle every day, plus seated strengthening exercises every day – both while watching TV. He feels more energetic, largely because he lives with less pain.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. Visit www.AskDoctorK. com to send questions and get additional information.

Dr. Wallace: I’m writing this letter to all the high school guys out there who are too shy to ask me (or any other girl) out for a date. I’m an attractive, intelligent 17-year-old girl and I spend many weekends dateless because some guys are just afraid that I might say no when they call. I think there are a lot of girls like me, and I think there are a lot of shy guys out there.

But just think what you and your date will be missing if you never ask! And remember that a “no” answer doesn’t always mean the girl doesn’t want to date you.

It could simply mean, not now, but later.

Believe me, boys, when a girl gets asked out on a date it is always flattering and more times than not, the answer will be yes. So, give it a try. – Jessica, Columbus, Ohio Dear Jessica: Your message is strong, clear and right on.

First, your phone would be ringing night and day and next, if your answer is yes to a sweet-sounding guy in Miami, Fla., getting together would be a travelling nightmare.

But thanks for telling guys to call the girl of their dreams and ask for a date. Even if the answer is no, she will be flattered that he called.

Dr. Wallace: My mom is a great mother and wife, but she does have a very bad habit – she is always late. I love her dearly, but this has caused me a lot of inconvenience and embarrassment.

Whenever I need a ride to school, she drives me, but always causes me to be late to my first period class. Our entire family is always late to church and late for school events. We never get to my brother’s baseball games until the second inning.

Last night my mother

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace was supposed to pick my best friend and me up at the mall at 8:30 p.m., but we had to wait outside until after 9 when the store was closed. Her excuse was she couldn’t find her keys, and then realized she had to get gas.

My dad and I are at our wit’s end and hope you have some suggestions to help us get her to be on time. – Nameless, Brunswick, Ga. Dear Nameless: Constantly being late shows a lack of organization.

Your mom has probably been running late ever since she was a teen.

I’m afraid she may not be able to change into a punctual person, but she may be able to improve some.

Try to always remind your mom ahead of time about important events and encourage her to always fill her gas tank on a certain day of the week so she won’t be late. Be all ready yourself, and then help her choose her clothes and stay with her, gently encouraging her to get ready. You might have Dad help her to be organized by putting up a shelf or hooks so her keys and necessities would always be in a convenient place.

Whatever you do, don’t lay a guilt trip on her by saying, “I’m late for school and it’s your fault.” That only rattles a disorganized person more.

It is possible you will see some improvement, but don’t expect miracles. And if you don’t see the improvement you hoped for, just be very happy that she is a wonderful wife and mother.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Friday, May 9, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Don Marquis, a humorist and journalist, wrote, “Now and then there is a person born who is so unlucky that he runs into accidents which started out to happen to somebody else.”

That, of course, does not apply at the bridge table. Usually only one side can be unlucky.

However, sometimes when a deal starts out in an unlucky way, the contract might still be makable if declarer can get lucky in another suit – as in this deal.

South bounces himself into six spades. After West leads the diamond queen, what should declarer do?

North made a game-invitational limit raise, guaranteeing at least four spades, 10-12 support points (high-card points plus short-suit points) and eight losers. (You look at only the first three cards of each suit when counting losers.) Yes, with those potentially useless heart honors and no aces, that North hand is borderline, but it is clearly too strong for only a single raise.

South starts with potential losers in both black suits. So, after winning the first trick with his diamond ace (the honor from the shorter side first), he cashes his spade ace, but unluckily the king does not drop. Is there any chance now?

Yes, there is one faint hope: that the defender with the spade king has at most two clubs.

Declarer should cash his two club and two heart winners, play a diamond to dummy’s king, ruff the last diamond in his hand, and exit with a trump.

His luck is in. West must now concede a ruff-and-sluff.

South ruffs on the board and sluffs his last club.
