CORRECTIONS & CLARIFICATIONS

Schools’ future as polling places in question By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Public and private schools might be removed as polling places for the 2014 election cycle, if an amendment to a bill in the Illinois House of Representatives is successful. The measure would amend the state election code and change the requirement that school districts have to make public buildings available as polling places on election days. State Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, State Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, State Sen. Tim Bivins, R-Dixon and the Illinois Association of the Chiefs of Police are calling for the legislation as a safety issue. Limey Nargelenas, a lobbyist for the chiefs of police, said checks at school polling places in November revealed a near total lack of security. “I was at a school [with] Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, and there was no security,” Nargelenas said. “People were walking into the building, looking for bathrooms. It was pretty chaotic. It violated all our security principles.” Particularly considering the recent shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., officials were taking a closer look at the issues. “The only time a sex

Local schools currently listed by the Kane County Clerk as polling places include: J.B Nelson, H.C. Storm, Hoover-Wood Elementary and Rotolo Middle School in Batavia; Jewel Middle School in North Aurora; Mill Creek Elementary in Blackberry Township; Coultrap Facility and Western Avenue School in Geneva.

A potential amendment to a bill would make it so schools no longer were polling places, or that schools would not be open for student attendance during elections. offender can go into a school is on voting days,” Nargelenas said. Other locations for polling could be city or village halls, police departments, fire departments and churches. Another possibility would be for school polling places to not have student attendance on days in which elections are taking place, he said. Franks said he is waiting to put an amendment on House Bill 34 to accomplish that. “Protecting our children from harm is the most fundamental and basic duty of government,” Franks said. “There are protocols that need to be followed, and there is no reason to abandon school safety protocols at any time,

including Election Day.” Franks said there has been a lot of push-back on the proposal. “It’s not a done deal yet,” Franks said. “We’re looking for a compromise. We have terrible voter turnout, and we do not want to do anything that is going to affect that. But we cannot expect to put our common sense aside on Election Day.” Kane County Clerk Jack Cunningham said his office and the regional school office have been working on the issue for months. “The law now says they have to let us use the schools, and they were wonderful,” Cunningham said. “They [schools] are [Americans with

Disabilities Act] compliant; there’s plenty of parking and restrooms.” Cunningham said Kane County has 17 schools that are polling places, seven of which were open for a recent primary election. He said a police officer with a squad car was at every one of the primary locations from 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. when school was out for the day. “No matter what you do, you cannot guarantee anything,” Cunningham said. A statement released by Cook County Clerk David Orr seeks to have the legislation make election days no-school days, rather than remove polling from the schools, which would be two days in an even-numbered year and one day in an odd-numbered year. More than a third of the county’s 1,673 precincts have schools as polling places. Orr also supports a movement to have elections take place on Saturdays.

Meeting to discuss Brady’s role in state GOP postponed By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com A meeting to discuss the future of Pat Brady’s position as Illinois GOP chairman, which was supposed to take place over the weekend, was postponed.

Voting at school

Brady’s open support of samesex marriage, and whether he should be removed as chairman. In the past, Oberweis has said that Brady’s open support is “a question of corporate governance” in breaking with party lines. Oberweis said Brady had indicated that he would be out of town during the planned March 9 meeting, and Oberweis said some committeemen thought Brady should be present. “There were some people that thought it made sense to wait until he’s there,” Oberweis said. Oberweis had reserved

space for a meeting using his own money in early February, but he did not collect enough signatures to convene the meeting at the time. After the five signatures needed to call the meeting had been collected in late February, a meeting was scheduled to take place Saturday. Instead, the meeting was postponed. Oberweis said Brady likely will be a topic at the regularly scheduled state central committee meeting scheduled for April 13. Brady’s term ends in March 2014. A three-fifths weighted vote from state party committeemen would

be required to remove him as chairman.

Geneva teen wins duel, county spelling bee By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – After nearly 40 rounds of spelling Monday night, “tuffet” was the only word that stood between Piper Winkler and the 2013 Kane County Spelling Bee title. Without hesitation, the Elgin Academy eighth-grader from Geneva spelled the word correctly, and excited cheers from the audience followed. “It’s very exciting,” she said. “It’s wonderful because I put a lot of time into this.” The eight contestants sailed through the first round, correctly spelling words such as sitzmark, igneous, maraca and flemish. By the ninth round, only Winkler and Hieu Nguyen, an eighth-grader at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School, were left in the competition. For the next 29 rounds, the two correctly spelled words such as kuruma, gauche, charlatan and sauerbraten. It wasn’t until round 38 that Nguyen got tripped up on the word “alacrity.” Nguyen described the spelling bee as tedious and “kind of stressful.” His mother, Cao Nguyen, said her son is also preparing to compete in an upcoming geography bee, which is one of his favorite subjects. “He studied very, very hard,” his mother said. Monday was the second time Nguyen and Winkler had gone toe to toe in a spelling match. The two were named co-winners of the regional spelling bee after the competition lasted 63 rounds and officials ran out of words to give them. Winkler, who is celebrating her 14th birthday today, said her strategy to win was to ask as many questions as possible about the words so she had enough time to think about how to spell them. She said she felt prepared for the spelling bee, and said she owed her mom a lot for quizzing her. She said her love of read-

Her mother, Michele Winkler, said Piper Winkler has been reading since age 2. “I’m just so happy for her,” said her father, Chris Winkler. “She worked really hard for those moments. Her mom has been testing her night after night.” As part of the prize package, Winkler won a seven-

day trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., for the competition that will take place from May 28 to May 30. The trip is sponsored by the KCT Credit Union and Kane County Chronicle. Aside from the trip, Winkler won a dictionary, a 2013 U.S. mint proof set, a one-year subscription to Encyclopedia Britannica Online and a $20 Kimmer’s Ice Cream gift card. Those who competed Monday included Marin

Childers from Holy Angels Catholic School; Morgan Heileman from Dundee Mid-

dle School; Joy Mazur from Rotolo Middle School; Joe Ott from Einstein Academy; Anna Rivera from St. Rita of Cascia Catholic School; and Olivia Wulbert from Holy Cross Catholic School. Students competed at the school and regional levels before advancing to the county level Monday. Winkler said she was really grateful to her school, and thanked the class of one of her teachers for making a colorful sign to cheer her on. Her advice to others who might want to compete in a spelling bee is to read often. “Reading is the big one,” she said. “It’s like another way of going through the dictionary.”

You get an office in there, and they’ll never want to leave.” Third Ward Alderman Bill Turner said rent is a big obstacle for potential downtown businesses, especially the mom and pop establishments. “Who’s got the money to pay the rent for that square footage?” he said. Fifth Ward Alderman Maureen Lewis agreed. She owned a ceramics painting studio downtown from 1999 to 2004. “The rent is prohibitive,” she said. “[Landlords] can only give you a break for so long.” Third Ward Alderman Ray Rogina, who favored the smaller overlay clusters, said the city shouldn’t discount an edu-

cational presence downtown. Committee chairman Cliff Carrignan suggested a fourth option – lifting the overlay from Main Street for three to five years. “I don’t see Main Street as being pedestrian friendly,” he said. Two City Council candidates – 5th Ward alderman candidate Kim Malay and mayoral candidate Jotham Stein – spoke during public comment. Malay asked whether the interest for downtown office space warrants a change, and Stein – who said the proposals “put the cart before the horse” – requested the item be tabled until after the April 9 election. Tungare said staff will investigate the issues brought up Monday night and will return with responses to the questions asked.

D-304 holds hearing on virtual online charter school By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – What if they gave a party and the guest of honor did not show up? That is kind of what happenedMondayatGenevaSchool District 304’s public hearing on an application to establish an online charter school: Virtual Learning Solutions, which made the application, was a noshow at the hearing. In its Feb. 14 application to District 304, the company recited state law that requires the district to hold a public hearing within 45 days and to issue a decision within 30 days of the hearing. The company submitted applications to 18 school districts, including those in Kane County. Superintendents from Batavia School District 101 and Kaneland School District 302 were in Geneva’s audience for the hearing. “I have many questions, but unfortunately, there is nobody here to ask,” said board member Mary Stith. “I really thought … they would have somebody here.” Stith said she read extensive material submitted by the com-

pany and information online as well. One of her concerns was the diversion of district money to a for-profit company for students to learn online in a virtual classroom. Board President Mark Grosso said it was his understanding that for each student who would leave District 304 and attend a virtual charter school, it would receive state, federal and local tax dollars from the district. “I’d like to see what the impact would be to our budget,” Grosso said. Board member Bill Wilson said in his research, the reason why the company was making a profit is because while the district has one teacher for 25 or 27 students, Virtual Learning Solutions offers three plans: One teacher for 40, 50 or 60 students. Resident Christine Bourdage said she was in favor of online schools, but Virtual Learning Solutions did not seem the right fit for Geneva. Leslie Juby, a school board candidate in the April 9 election, offered to work with the Illinois Association of School Boards on legislation that does not deprive the host school dis-

trict of public funds for charter schools. But resident Bob McQuillan, a candidate for Geneva mayor, asked whether the company was invited to the hearing. School officials did not answer him, but the company’s Geneva representative Randall Greenway confirmed later that District 304 did not notify them. “We did not receive a letter, email or phone call,” Greenway said, speaking from his office in Herndon, Va. “I can find no communication from Geneva. We got notices from 12 of the districts as to when the public hearing would be held. We got no communication of any sort from Geneva.” Greenway said most of the superintendents called, emailed and sent certified letters of the hearing times and dates. Hearings are scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday for Kaneland and St. Charles and March 19 for Batavia. “We were intending to be at every hearing,” Greenway said. “I’m very disappointed we did not have an opportunity to attend Geneva’s hearing. We would make that offer to reach out to that board or have a meeting.”

Superintendent Kent Mutchler and Grosso could not be reached for comment late Monday.

ST. CHARLES – Restrictions might be loosened on the types of businesses allowed in first-floor storefronts downtown. The St. Charles Planning and Development Committee on Monday discussed staff’s proposal to modify the Downtown Overlay Zoning District established in 2006. The zoning regulation limits first-floor and street-level spaces within the district – roughly Fourth Street to Third Avenue and State to Indiana – to businesses that generate pedestrian traffic, such as theaters, hotels, salons, restaurants and retailers. The intent was to preserve economic vitality and the pedestrian character of downtown’s shopping core.

So far, four of eight exemption requests have been granted. Staff is proposing three options that would address such concerns as the effect of too many exemptions, missed opportunities, the need for a healthy mix of uses and retail saturation. The city could break up the existing overlay district into three smaller clusters; permit office uses temporarily or permanently; or shrink the boundaries, Community Development Director Rita Tungare said. She said the boundaries drawn in 2006 were based on existing and future potential uses. “It was wishful thinking, so to speak,” Tungare said. Fourth Ward Alderman Jim Martin said he isn’t happy with any of the proposals. “We fought really hard to get the first-floor retail enacted

Red-light camera numbers released By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Geneva officials Monday released updated information regarding the city’s now-defunct red-light camera program they say points to its success. Geneva’s two red-light cameras, at Randall Road and Fargo Boulevard and Randall Road and Williamsburg Avenue, were deactivated Saturday after the three-year county permit for them expired. The cameras had been in place since March 9, 2010. Randall Road is a county-controlled road. “The data tells me that people are being more cautious at the intersections,” said Julie Nash, Geneva police patrol operations commander. According to the red-light camera justification report from the Geneva Police Department released Monday, there were 115 accidents at the intersection of Randall and Fargo from 2007 to Saturday. That includes one accident this year. Last year, there were 11 accidents at the intersection, a drop from 15 in 2011. From 2007 to Saturday, 6,550 red-light running citations were issued at the Randall-Fargo intersection, including 253 so far this year, 1,350 citations last year, 1,760 in 2011 and 3,153 in 2010. Randall and Williamsburg experienced a similar accident history, according to the report. From 2007 to Saturday, there were 89 accidents at the intersection. There have been no ac-

From 2007 to Saturday, 7,093 red-light running citations were issued at the Randall-Williamsburg intersection, including 357 this year, 1,736 citations last year, 1,816 in 2011 and 3,121 in 2010. “The purpose of the technology when installed was to make these intersections safer, and the data proves that,” Geneva Mayor Kevin Burns said. Bob McQuillan, Burns’ opponent in the Geneva mayoral race, disagreed with that assessment. “The cameras don’t stop them from speeding,” he said. “If people have bad driving habits, they will have bad driving habits whether the cameras are there or not.” The removal of Geneva’s red-light cameras leaves only one red-light camera in the Tri-Cities area – at the intersection of Route 31 and West Main Street in St. Charles. That light does not have to be removed because West Main Street is a state road.

ST. CHARLES – Voters in the 3rd Ward will decide next month whether they want incumbent Bill Turner or challenger Mario VanDerHeyden to represent them for the next Bill four years. Whatever the Turner outcome, April 9 will be voters’ last chance to elect Turner to city office. The 66-yearold said three t e r m s w o u l d Mario be enough. He VanDerHeyden is content with serving two terms, he said, but he believes continuity is needed on the City Council, which will get a new mayor and could get up to four new aldermen. “I feel there’s going to be economic growth opportunities in the city coming in the next few years,” Turner said. “We need an experienced council that will separate out what is good and what is not so good.” VanDerHeyden, who ran an unsuccessful aldermanic bid in 1995, said being alderman would be his way of saying thank you for the decades of service his family and ancestors have received from the city. He would offer the 3rd Ward a stronger voice, he said. He referenced the City Council’s January favorable vote on housing development Lexington Club, which many 3rd Ward residents criticized. Turner voted against it, along with four others. If aldermen in support of the project had received a stronger voice from Turner, VanDerHeyden said, “maybe it would have been a different outcome.” Turner said he doesn’t know whether he could have done

educate residents on how their taxes are being spent. The fractured relationship between the community and City Council also must be repaired, VanDerHeyden said. In addition to talking with and seeking input from neighbors and businesses, he said, he would want residents to be allowed to speak at meetings. He cited the night of the Lexington Club vote, when the meeting was adjourned before a resident could make his way to the podium to speak. “That was disgraceful,” VanDerHeyden said. Usually, Turner said, residents are allowed to speak, and he described that night as a single instance. With most of the discontent stemming from Lexington Club, he said, he is not sure major improvements are needed with the council’s relationship with the residents.

Strike unlikely with deal

BATAVIA

Police, fire departments, Kane security officers OK plan that would expire in Nov. teachers hoop By JONATHAN BILYK to raise money jbilyk@shawmedia.com

GENEVA – Kane County’s courthouse security officers have approved a new contract proposal, likely averting a strike. Friday, the security officers voted 21-7 to approve the proposed collective bargaining agreement, Kane County Sheriff Pat Perez said. Terms of the deal were not released Monday because the proposal has not yet advanced to the full Kane County Board for consideration, Pere said. However, he said the contract was a five-year deal,

retroactive to the expiration of the officer’s last contract in 2008. The new deal is scheduled to expire in November, setting the stage for further negotiations later this year. “I’m glad to have this done and behind us,” Perez said. “But we’ll be back at this again pretty soon.” To date, the only Kane County Board members to see the contract proposal were the five members of the board’s Labor Management Committee. The full County Board was scheduled to meet at 9:45 a.m. today, but it was unclear

whether the agreement would be considered by the board then or would wait until the next meeting in April. A lawyer for the Policemen’s Benevolent Labor Committee, the union representing the security officers, did not immediately return a message Monday. The officers had voted on a proposal earlier last week, but that vote had ended in a tie. Perez said the proposal approved Friday was the same contract proposal over which the officers had deadlocked earlier in the week. The officers and the coun-

ty government have been locked in contentious talks for years, resulting in arguments before state labor officials and in court. The officers have worked without a contract since 2008. The union contended its members should be paid more because they earn thousands of dollars less than any other county courthouse security officers in the Chicago area. Kane’s officers earn annual wages ranging from $25,000 to $34,000. The union’s lawyer last week said the offer that was voted on Friday would increase the officers’ base pay.

Fitness demo day gives residents a workout By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Stephanie Ascencio knows how to attract attention to her hula hoop fitness classes: sparkly hula hoops. “We call them hooping bling,” the certified Hoopnotica instructor said Saturday morning at the Stephen D. Persinger Recreation Center in Geneva. Ascencio’s 9 a.m. hoops class kicked off the Geneva Park District’s free fitness demo day, which let the public sample such group fitness classes as turbokick, piloxing, Pilates, yoga, spin and Zumba. Fitness coordinator Debby Meyer said this was the second free fitness demo day the park district has offered; the first was last fall. The park district plans on offering demo days two to three times a year, she said. The 30-minute sample sessions let people get familiar with different styles of exercise without the pressure that some might feel on Day 1 of a class, Meyer said, greeting people as they passed by. “That was super hard,” a hoops participant said, exiting the gymnasium.

Ascencio, who has been hooping for more than three years, said the core-strengthening activity is one that anyone can do within five minutes, albeit some may perform better than others. “It’s just a really great way to have a lot of fun and

bring your inner diva out,” she said. “If you feel sore, that’s a good thing.” The Geneva Park District strives to include a varied selection of group fitness classes that reflect current trends, Meyer said. Group classes, especially Zumba and spin, are “very popular,” she said. In addition to breaking up the monotony of other workouts, she said, group classes let people exercise with friends and neighbors and under the guidance of a knowledgeable, certified instructor. “Group classes are good

for motivating people,” Meyer said. Donna Hanrahan of Geneva comes to the rec center almost every morning, usually using the elliptical machines and weights, she said. But, noticing the free group classes Saturday, she decided to give turbokick – an exercise she hadn’t even heard of – a try. “It was really fun,” she said, describing it as an intense workout. Depending on her schedule, she said, she would consider signing up for the class.

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia High School physical education teacher Chad Hillman said the fact he was wearing number three on his jersey didn’t help him at all in scoring two three-point shots in Sunday’s Books vs. Badges basketball game. “That was just convenient,” Hillman said. His points helped his Books team, comprised of Batavia teachers, beat the Batavia police officers and firefighters on the Badges team, 68-59. The fourth annual Books vs. Badges game raised money for the city’s Fourth of July fireworks show, which is funded solely through private donations. The show is in danger of being canceled this year unless organizers can raise $50,000. The Books team now has won the past three games. The Badges team won the first year. But for Hillman, who has participated in all four games, the game was about helping raise money for the fireworks show. During halftime, dancers from Batavia’s The Attic and Batavia Academy of Dance entertained the crowd. Mark Davis, chairman of the Batavia Fireworks Committee, said its reserves are depleted because the committee has had to dip into the reserves the past few years to keep the show going. He said the committee has had to use the reserves because donations and sponsorships have been down. The committee has recently secured $14,000 through corporate sponsors, and raised about $1,500 through the sale of “Save the Batavia Fireworks” buttons. The committee hopes to collect more donations through its annual citywide garage sale May 3 and 4. Donations can also be made by Batavia Fireworks Committee and sent to the Batavia Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave., Batavia, or going to www. bataviafireworks.org.

O’Connor said there were unaddressed questions about Chapman’s photo lineup identification submitted to state police more than 50 years after the kidnapping. “It makes more sense that Kathy [Chapman] could pick out the correct picture after [state police investigator] Brion Hanley refreshed her memory eight days before giving her the photo lineup,” she said. “The trial transcripts, which we have read, pose far more questions than CBS raised.” By the end of the program, DeKalb County Public Defender Tom McCulloch said it was unlikely people changed their minds as to whether they believed McCullough committed the crime or not. He said he was disappointed the producers changed their direction from looking at the complexities and legal challenges of a 55-year-old cold case to the family dynamic during McCullough’s upbringing. “The direction of the story changed when they interviewed Jack,” McCulloch said. “Then it deteriorated into a discussion on his family issues ... and made it sort of cheesy.” Prosecutor Victor Escarcida said he watched the show but did not worry about how the media decided to present the case. “It was a program created for TV,” he said. “I don’t have a negative or positive reaction.”

• Tuesday, March 12, 2013

SYCAMORE – Charles Ridulph and his family hoped CBS’ “48 Hours” special on a 55-year-old cold case would banish any question of Jack D. McCullough’s guilt. The special, called “Cold as Ice,” followed McCullough’s conviction last year for murdering Charles Ridulph’s sister, 7-year-old Maria, in December 1957. She disappeared after a man named Johnny approached her and a friend, Kathy Chapman, playing outside. Chapman went inside to get mittens and when she returned, Maria and Johnny were gone. Instead, Charles Ridulph said, the show focused more on the alleged rape of McCullough’s half sister – a charge on which McCullough was cleared – before posing the possibility McCullough was actually guilty of the rape and not of the murder for which he was convicted. “I must say that my sister Pat and I were very disappointed in the program, but perhaps we were just looking for too much,” Ridulph said. “A onehour program could not possibly accomplish all that we were looking for.” The program included interviews with McCullough, those most closely involved with the case and witnesses who testified at the trial, but Ridulph said the show failed to lay out the evidence that establishes McCullough’s guilt. He said the program failed to explain McCullough’s mother’s deathbed confession that indicated her son could have committed the crime, inconsistencies in the timeline of events McCullough said occurred the day of the kidnapping and the testimony from prisoners who said McCullough told them about Maria Ridulph’s murder. “The show seemed to give the impression that there was little evidence to support the

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Airports must plug porous perimeters By NORMAN Y. MINETA Special to The Washington Post Last month, robbers dressed as police officers boarded a plane in Brussels and nabbed $50 million in diamonds. The break-in was a snap – the criminals cut a hole in the airport security fence and drove through it. The ease with which anyone can penetrate an airport perimeter may shock those familiar with today’s elaborate security inside terminals. But such breaches are common in the United States and abroad. In Philadelphia last year, a driver crashed through a gate and onto a busy runway. We’ve seen similar near catastrophes in Miami and Dallas. If a pickup truck plows through a chain-link fence and onto a runway, the driver could be a teenager acting on a dare, an unemployed worker with a vendetta or a terrorist. Security officials would not immediately know, nor would it be clear whether the incident was isolated or part of a coordinated attack. Perimeters are the weak link. America has the technology to monitor intruders at – and even beyond – an airport’s edge, but too many airports are behind the curve. Ask whether we are doing everything possible to contain the threat, and you will hear nearly as many excuses as there are airports. Unlike terminal security, which is managed by the Transportation Security Administration, airport perimeter security is decentralized. The TSA assesses vulnerabilities, but each of the country’s 450 commercial airports budgets and manages perimeter security on its own. That’s a lot of decision-makers with differing points of view. Budgets are tight. Airport authorities can mistakenly assume that cost increases go hand in hand with state-of-the-art perimeter security. Then there’s the sheer geographic

scale of the challenge. The average midsize U.S. airport covers 2,500 to 3,000 acres, with a perimeter of about 15 miles. These factors have barred concerted action on airport perimeter security. But those in charge need to do the math. An advanced perimeter security system is a bargain – it costs one-third the sticker price of a Boeing 737. Forward-looking airport operators know this. Chicago O’Hare, Atlanta Hartsfield and the major metropolitan New York and New Jersey airports have made measurable progress to improve perimeter security. Some use software programs that trigger perimeter-breach alarms and speed reaction times by police and emergency responders. But more need to follow their lead. Our concentrated focus on terminal security has orphaned equally important needs at the edge of airports. As Rep. Bill Keating, D-Mass., has observed, it’s like “locking all the doors on your house but leaving the windows open.” The United States can point with pride to the fact that not a single major airport-related terrorist event has succeeded since the terrible attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Thanks to the creation of the TSA, broadened law enforcement powers and the men and women on the front lines of screening, airport terminal security is at an all-time high in proficiency. Flying is safer than ever. But more than a decade after 9/11, much remains to be done. Stopping a live threat in its tracks is the work of heroes. Airports urgently owe these brave individuals, and ourselves, the best tools available for the job.

These words still hold true over 200 years later, and with this principle in mind, the Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce and Industry is pleased to host a Meet the Candidates Night for local residents, businesses and the surrounding community. The event will take place today, beginning at 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.) at the Sugar Grove Community House, 141 Main St., Sugar Grove. It is open to the public and free of charge. Those seeking offices with the village of Sugar Grove, Sugar Grove Township, Sugar Grove Park District, Sugar Grove Fire Protection District, Sugar Grove Public Library, Waubonsee Community College and Kaneland School District 302, have all been invited to attend.

which will include questions that have been submitted by members of the public. The Sugar Grove Chamber, which has hosted this event for more than 20 years, is an independent, nonprofit organization, with no political ties to any party, candidate or unit of government. As such, attendees can expect an impartial, unbiased and credible presentation. Election day is April 9, which will be here before we know it, with early voting starting as soon as March 25 and running through April 6. There is a great deal going on politically and much at stake, not only at the national and state levels, but also in local government. There are also many different candidates with diverse viewpoints and ideas. Meet the Candidates Night is a tremendous opportunity for members of the voting public to learn who the candidates are and where they stand on the issues that affect us the most. I would urge everyone in the community to come out, become “well-informed” and carry that information with you to the voting booths. Steve Ekker Sugar Grove

WHAT TO WATCH World Baseball Classic U.S. vs. Puerto Rico, 7 p.m., MLB Team USA showed its resiliency late Sunday to advance in the WBC. It’s about to get a whole lot tougher for the Americans in the tournament’s second round.

Johnson brings big game, big personality By JAY SCHWAB

jschwab@shawmedia.com AURORA – Kaitlin Johnson is a fouryear varsity standout, a Division I recruit and perhaps the top player on the Rosary girls soccer team, but Royals coach Kristy Kane acknowledges Johnson is not a team leader in the traditional sense. With a chuckle – Johnson prompts plenty of those – Kane mused that Johnson is the Patrick Kane of the Royals, a nod to Johnson’s free-spirited ways, not to mention her talent. Royals goalkeeper Lauren Frasca, a close friend of Johnson’s, supported the analogy. “She will come with crew socks on and not have soccer socks and won’t wear shin guards – whatever she’s feeling, she’ll do it,” Frasca said. “She’ll say whatever she wants, whenever she wants, and after school, she’ll eat so much food, she doesn’t care. It’s almost like she has a sense like she can do whatever she wants, but at practice, you’ll see her sweating the most. She works so hard. “ … She’s just a different person. You can’t say that anybody’s like her.” From a soccer skills standpoint, there aren’t many who compare to Johnson, either. The Geneva resident and Michigan State recruit provides a dynamic presence at center-midfield for the Royals, who are preparing for Monday’s season opener against Glenbard North. Johnson doesn’t deny her coach’s assertion that she’s somewhat of a goof. Guilty as charged. “I always get the dancing going during warmup to the warmup CD,” Johnson said. “I play soccer because it’s fun, and I love it, so I’m going to make it as fun as possible. Winning’s top priority, and then fun.” Johnson helps the Royals enjoy plenty of both.

Kaitlin Johnson eyes the ball during practice inside the school gymnasium. A gifted midfielder who plays club soccer with Team Chicago Academy out of Aurora, Johnson has “great speed and great skill, and she’s got great endurance,” according to Kane. Kane said she might ask Johnson to branch out from her usual center-midfield spot this spring for the Royals, who went 18-6 and advanced to a 2A sectional final last season. “That’s kind of part of what we’re hoping this year, if we need her to step up and maybe try something new, that she can do that, whether that be defense or maybe even forward with her speed,” Kane said. “I feel like she has a skill set where she could really play anywhere on the field.” Frasca, though, is especially appreciative of Johnson’s defensive-minded wiring. “I know when I yell ‘Kaitlin,’ she’ll run as fast as she can back to come and protect the goal,” Frasca said. “Her work rate is so

awesome.” Johnson committed to Toledo the summer leading up to her junior year but reassessed her plans, and committed to Michigan State in January. “It wasn’t the school or the coaching staff [at Toledo], it was I decided what I wanted to do academically,” said Johnson, who plans to study toward becoming a veterinarian. “I was so young when I first committed that I didn’t exactly know what I wanted.” Before heading off for East Lansing, Mich., Johnson looks forward to a big final go-around with the Royals, who are looking to push defending 2A state champion St. Francis and perennial power Wheaton Academy for supremacy in the Suburban Christian Conference. The Royals likely will be without sophomore standouts Quincy Kellett (ankle injury), a forward, and defender Maria Witte (knee injury) early in the season, but once they’re at full strength – and maybe even before – Johnson expects great things. “It’s probably going to be our best year out of the four that I’ve been here, I think,” Johnson said. With Johnson in the mix, the Royals figure to pile up the wins with plenty of pizzazz, on and off the field. In a moment that again brings Patrick Kane to mind, Johnson promised to bust out her share of flashy moves when the circumstances are right. “Sometimes [coach Kane] has to keep me in line but for the most part, I can focus when it needs to be done,” Johnson said.

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com

Class 3A NIU Supersectional St. Francis (22-7) vs. Bartonville Limestone (23-9), 6 p.m. today * At Northern Illinois University’s Convocation Center ing forward Kevin McShea. He maximized his minutes Friday, contributing nine points and seven rebounds in the Spartans’ 63-60 victory against Rockford Lutheran in the 3A Freeport Sectional championship. “That’s what our coach demands of us. He demands that we get in the practice gym each day,” Brown said. “We run our butts off and we put it at our hardest. I think if we try our hardest, then we get what we work for.” Many St. Francis players were reserves on the team that advanced to last season’s sectional final before losing. Brown may only have been a sophomore, but he still identified with the group. There was Kimball, a longtime friend from their time together during youth camps, and also Ward, who is glad he saw Brown’s development coming. Randy Stukenberg – For the Kane County Chronicle “We’re not here without St. Francis forward Kilian Brown puts up a shot Friday during the Class him,” Ward said. “Put it that 3A Freeport Sectional championship game. way.”

8LOCAL BRIEFS DVC to allow West Aurora, Glenbard East earlier exit The DuPage Valley Conference reversed course and is allowing Glenbard East and West Aurora to leave for the Upstate Eight Conference after the 2013-14 school year, the DVC announced on Monday. The DVC Board of Control previously had voted to hold Glenbard East and West Aurora to a full, two-year waiting period before departing, which would have kept them in the DVC through 2014-15.

Recovery is everywhere. In a news release, Wheaton Warrenville South principal Dave Claypool indicated the DVC would next contact schools they are interested in as potential replacements for Glenbard East and West Aurora. “This decisions is the result of the collective understanding among the Board of Control that the move to the Upstate Eight is in the best interest of both Glenbard East and West Aurora,” Claypool said in the release. “We

now set our sights to seeking replacements for them with hopes that the DVC will continue as one of the premier conferences in the state.”

Kilian Brown sported a black and blue St. Francis boys basketball jersey when he recently saluted his coach. Brown just as easily could have been wearing one of the Spartans’ “In Ward We Trust” spirit T-shirts, as he makes no secret about his fandom of second-year coach Bob Ward. On the surface, Ward is easy to like because he’s the one who summons Brown from the bench. Still, Brown credits their interactions from last season – before the junior forward from Geneva even played for Ward – for his biggest inspiration. “He would talk to me throughout the year and just say get ready for next year, because we’re going to be using you a lot,” Brown said. At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Brown holds the distinction of stockiest Spartan in his first varsity season. St. Francis (22-7) figures to benefit from Brown’s size when it faces Bartonville Limestone in the 3A DeKalb Supersectional at 6 p.m. today at Northern Illinois University’s Convocation Center. While the Rockets (23-9)

tout the guard play of Hank Mathews and transfer Terence Shelby, junior centers David Anderson (6-3) and John Ortman (6-5) also can score. That proposition could be tougher should either player draw a spirited Brown in the Spartans’ manto-man defensive scheme. Imagine that. “From being a guy that struggled defensively, he is one of our better defenders right now,” Ward said. “Comes out, can play defense on the perimeter, can play it inside. He’s really, really improved.” From his early time in the program, Brown proved himself as a force on the offensive glass and as an inside scoring option off the bench. Commitment to conditioning and essentially trusting in Ward – like the T-shirt says – contributed to Brown’s defensive surge. When Ward says Brown has “been a load for us in these playoffs” or sharpshooting senior guard Andrew Kimball calls his fellow Genevan “just a beast down low,” they aren’t talking about a guy who’s unable to move his feet and simply takes up space. Brown, whose Irish first name is the middle name of his father, often spells start-

GIRLS SOCCER SEASON PREVIEW Players to watch Jenny Barr, St. Charles North, Jr., D Barr, who flourished on the back line despite little experience there during North’s second-place finish in 3A last season, committed to Miami (Ohio) during the offseason. Taylor Bucaro, St. Francis, Sr., D One of two Bowling Green recruits in St. Francis’ senior class (goalkeeper Jenna DiTusa is the other), Bucaro is a dead-ball specialist and highly skilled defender for the defending Class 2A state champions. Lauren Frasca, Rosary, Jr., GK A DePaul recruit, the vocal, assertive Frasca allowed only 17 goals during a sparkling sophomore season last year for the Royals. Jordan Ginther, Kaneland, Sr., GK Ginther, the program’s first Division I recruit (Purdue), is “unbelievable,” coach Scott Parillo says. She will be tested plenty with Geneva and St. Charles East both added to the nonconference slate. Amanda Hilton, St. Charles East, Jr. M East coach Paul Jennison calls Hilton a “box to box player” capable of stirring the attack as well as providing gritty support defensively. Committed to Nebraska during the offseason. Kaitlin Johnson, Rosary, Sr., M The versatile Michigan State recruit is a defensive-minded midfielder for Rosary, which is seasoned in the midfield with fellow seniors Taylor Gibson and Haley Kilbride also in the mix. Amanda Lulek, Geneva, Sr., F Lulek scored 14 goals to go with six assists last season. The four-year varsity starter and Iowa recruit becomes the Vikings’ go-to scorer with Catherine Allon’s graduation. Kelly Manski, St. Charles North, Sr., M The third Manski sister to aid coach Ruth Vostal’s powerhouse program, Manski added 10 goals and 12 assists to the cause last spring for North. Meredith Matson, Wheaton Academy, Sr., D The returning all-Suburban Christian Conference selection anchors a defense that will be asked to do a little more with the graduation losses of Crystal Thomas and Ally Witt, who combined for 61 goals last season. Sophomore Molly Thorson should be a strong defensive partner for Matson. Carly Pottle, St. Charles East, Sr., F Pottle emerged as one of the area’s most clutch scorers as a junior and will look to follow up by reincarnating her strong chemistry with Hilton from basketball on to the soccer field. Annie Waldoch, Geneva, Jr., D Waldoch, a three-year starter like fellow defenders and classmates Tory Herbst and Molly Stanfa, is a big piece of a Vikings team that is pursuing its third straight Upstate Eight Conference River title. Natalie Winkates, St. Charles North, Sr., M The Northern Iowa-bound Winkates notched 10 goals and five assists as a

junior, when she was an all-conference and all-sectional performer for the North Stars.

Five burning questions about the season 1. Who is the best team in the area? St. Charles North was runners-up to Geneva in the Upstate Eight Conference River last season but showed its elite caliber in the postseason, falling in the 3A state championship match to Naperville North in quadruple overtime. The North Stars graduated top scorer Lauren Koehl but return almost all of their other key contributors, including 2012 Chronicle First Team All-Area picks Kelly Manski, Jenny Barr, Alex Gage and Kenzie Rose. Geneva took a big injury hit in Michaela Loebel (ACL tear during basketball season) but the two-time defending conference champs still have ample experience – especially defensively – and a proven scorer in Amanda Lulek. 2. What about the other Tri-Cities teams? While North and Geneva are the natural favorites, St. Charles East expects to be in the mix, too, with senior defender Allie Arvizu, senior forward Carly Pottle and junior Amanda Hilton anchoring a team that will be boosted by a deep junior class that also includes key pieces such as Anna Corirosi and Shannon Rasmussen. Batavia will be an underdog in the UEC River but has a solid senior core in goalkeeper Nicki Seiton, midfielder Shelby Stone, forwards Anna Zeyen and Grace Andrews and defender Lindsay Spears. 3. Can St. Francis defend its 2A state title? Coach Jim Winslow acknowledges once a team wins a state championship, the bar is set so high that anything less “is kind of disappointing.” The good news is, the Spartans have a realistic chance to go deep yet again, buoyed by returning varsity stalwarts such as goalkeeper Jenna DiTusa, defender Taylor Bucaro and midfielders Kaity Bucaro and Anna Vonderhaar. While defense and goalkeeping look good, the Spartans lost plenty of goal-scoring punch, and will need forwards such as Kaity Bucaro and Andrea Ravlin to deliver. 4. Who are some impact newcomers? Cracking North’s rotation is always difficult but sophomore midfielder Lizzie Parrilli has a chance for the North Stars. Sophomore Mary Landry could give Geneva some scoring depth at forward, while Kaneland expects a pair of freshmen, midfielder Gabby Cano and defender Nicole Koczka, to contribute. 5. What is the strongest position in the area? With Division I recruits such as Ginther (Kaneland), DiTusa (St. Francis) and Lauren Frasca (Rosary) returning, goalkeeper is an area of strength for several area teams. Batavia also brings back a reliable keeper in Seiton. – Jay Schwab jschwab@shawmedia.com

QUICK READ Kevin Druley to the Showdown’s final 32. Wheaton Academy’s Josh Ruggles is set to shoot in Class 3A. After athletes take turns hoisting 15 3s in 45 seconds, the top four scorers in both classes will advance to Friday’s finals. Gentry, a sophomore, and Goetz, a junior, have kept after-school practice regimens, albeit at off-campus sites. Gentry favors XSport Fitness in St. Charles for his offseason workouts, finding he often can get a basket to himself if he goes after doing his homework. For Goetz, a sibling connection has paved the way to a new shooting spot. The family of his twin sister Mickey’s boyfriend has a full basketball court in a barn on their property. “It’s got heaters and everything,” Goetz said. “It takes a minute to warm up, but it’s nice. It’s a really cool place.”

Gentry, Goetz and Rueffer each bring arena-shooting experience from their AAU teams. All three spoke with varying concerns about the added variables of open air and depth perception after shooting in high school gyms during the regional and sectional rounds. Gentry thinks one condition neutralizes everything in a shooting contest. “There’s nobody on you, so it’s a lot easier than the games, obviously, because you’re not guarded,” he said. During the Upstate Eight Conference River Division season – and in the case of Gentry and Goetz, the postseason – the Tri-Cities trio spent plenty of time defending one another this winter. Waiting to shoot before Friday’s 4A DeKalb Sectional final, Gentry and Goetz let their guard down and had their first extensive conversation. “We were talking about shooting. We were cracking jokes,” Goetz said. “He’s a pretty good guy to talk to. He’s pretty cool. He’s a killer on the court, too.” “Sharpshooters. I think

that’s what the Tri-Cities has been known for,” Rueffer said. “I know that St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia – everyone has had shooters. No one has really been a slack team in the past since I’ve been watching basketball and everyone can shoot. “It seems to me that the

Tri-Cities can light it up on any given night.” Thursday in Peoria offers the next chance to be clutch.

Batavia boys basketball player Mike Rueffer shuns the school cafeteria during lunch lately. Turns out the end of third block is the best time to be a brown-bagger down the hall. Strapped for space with after-school spring sports practices occupying the gym during inclement weather, Rueffer has delayed his second meal of Mike Rueffer the day to go for 3. Thursday’s preliminaries of the Class 4A Three-Point Showdown state final at Carver Arena in Peoria are fast approaching, and the senior guard needed a place to let fly. “It’s kind of a hassle, but I’ve been practicing then,” Rueffer said. “I just shoot for as long as I can until I get kicked out by the gym teachers.” With fellow Tri-Cities marksmen Cole Gentry of St. Charles East and Alec Goetz of St. Charles North alongside, Rueffer has advanced

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM Frances and Michael Higgins both went to art school, taught art and created art before they met at the Chicago Institute of Design. They were married in 1948. The couple decided to open their own studio to make fused (not blown) glass, a technique used in ancient times. Their pieces were marked “Higgins” to represent both artists. Their glass was like a glass sandwich - one piece coated with enamel decoration, the other placed on top and heated until both pieces were fused together. Their work created a new type of colorful, well-designed glass that immediately became popular in gift shops. Each of the artists had a personal style. Frances liked to hand-paint designs; Michael used small pieces of glass to make designs. Michael was born in England in 1908 and died in 1999. Frances, born in 1912, was still working when she died in 2004. Higgins Glass Studio of Riverside, Ill., continues the couple’s tradition of making fused glass. It is run by artists trained by Michael and Frances. Vintage Higgins Pieces are popular today with collectors, but because the studio still makes glass for department stores and gift shops, pieces can be found for moderate prices. The work is unique and recognized as artistic, yet early pieces are undervalued by both museums and collectors.

Whimsies were made. The first were little animal figurines, sold from 1954 to 1958 in sets of five or four to a box. Ten different sets were made. During the 1960s, Whimsies were made only as promotional items. Best-known are the figurines given away with Red Rose Tea and other products. Another 12 sets of animal figurines were made from 1971 to 1984. Your angelfish is part of Set Nine, made in 1978 as part of the second series of Whimsies. Whimsies are popular with children and teenage collectors. Each Whimsy sells for about $5 to $15. *** Q: I bought a house built in the 1890s, and when I renovated the kitchen I found a jug inside a wall. No telling how long it had been there. It’s 8 inches high and still has part of the label, which reads “Mohawk Green Creme de Menthe, Made & Bottled by Mohawk Liqueur Corporation, Detroit, Michigan.” I would like to know if the company is still in business. A: Mohawk Liqueur Corp. was formed in 1933. In 1966 it was sold to 21 Brands, which became a subsidiary of Foremost-McKesson in 1970. Mohawk was still in business until at least the 1980s. ***

of purﬂing, a decorative inlay, around the edge. Maggini made at least 60 violins. An original violin made by Giovanni Paolo Maggini could sell for several hundred thousand dollars, but reproductions have been made and sell for low prices. ***

This fused-glass sculpture is a multicolored mosaic embedded in concrete and framed in brass. It’s marked “Higgins.” It sold for $210 a few years ago at Jackson’s Auctioneers in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Q: We have an old violin that my husband’s father played. It has a label inside that says “Giovanni Paolo Maggini, Brescia, 16(60).” The ﬁrst two numbers are printed but the last two look like they were added in pencil. How old is the violin and where was it made? A: Giovanni Paolo Maggini (1580-c. 1630) made several different kinds of stringed instruments and was one of the most important makers in Brescia, Italy. His instruments are known for the quality of the woods, unusually large sound holes and mellow tone. Some have a crest, medallion, scene or other decorations on the back. His later instruments are considered his best. They usually have a double row

Q: I have a beautiful rockmaple dining set given to me by my husband’s grandmother. The set includes four chairs, and the table has pullout extensions at each end. The table is 40 by 60 inches without the extensions. It’s 96 inches long when the two extensions are pulled out. The bottom of the table is stamped “Consider H. Willet, Manufacturer of Fine Furn., Louisville, Kentucky.” I would like to know more about this company and what my table and chairs might be worth. A: Consider H. Willett founded his furniture company in 1934. The company made bedroom sets, bookcases, cabinets and other furniture in maple and cherry, as well as upholstered furniture. Pieces are marked with a metal tag or stamped with the name of the company. At one point, Willet was one of the largest producers of maple and cherry furniture in the United States. The company went bankrupt in 1962. Mass-produced furniture from the

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

Liza Minnelli (1946), actress/singer; Mitt Romney (1947), politician; James Taylor (1948), singer/songwriter; Carl Hiaasen (1953), author; Darryl Strawberry (1962), baseball player; Aaron Eckhart (1968), actor. – United Feature Syndicate

HOROSCOPE By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY –The urge to travel and expand your horizons could be quite pronounced in coming months. If you start planning now, there’s a chance these trips could take place. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – The probability of it being a profitable day appears to be exceptionally good. However, look for gains to come about in a most peculiar manner. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You’re likely to derive greater benefits from what you do on the spur of the moment than from something more calculated. Be flexible and alert. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Although you are quite intuitive, you should also be able to accurately size up situations using your fine deductive skills. It pays to use all of your faculties. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your companions will have an enormous effect on your outlook, which is normal but not always productive. However, today you’ll be pleased by the way they stimulate your thought processes. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Achievement is within the realm of possibility, as long as you’re both swift and consistent. However, if you hesitate on something, you won’t likely get a second chance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Some unusual information that comes your way might not fit in your present plans, but you may be able to use it on some future venture; put it in your pocket. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Something commercially beneficial could unexpectedly develop through someone who is more of a friend than a business associate. Be sure to check it out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Do not discount your mate’s flash of inspiration today just because his or her reasoning isn’t along traditional lines. It’s the concept that counts, and it could be ingenious. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Be sure to put your thinking cap on when at work, because certain ideas of yours could go a long way toward gaining some points with the powers that be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – There’s a good chance that you’ll run into an old friend whom you haven’t seen in a very long time. The meeting could be a harbinger of something more interesting and exciting to come. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Even if you don’t get off to a dazzling start, the day’s end could be quite dramatic, desirable and exciting. It’s important to remember that it’s the bottom line that counts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your comments are likely to have greater impact on your associates than you might realize. You’re likely to say all the right things, which will strengthen relationships rather than weaken them.

Book Notes: Every page of JoeAnn Hart’s new book ‘Float’ delivers a laugh By RAE PADILLA FRANCOEUR GateHouse News Service If you are in quest of quirky, one-of-a-kind characters, then go to the Earth’s edges, to the islands, to the remote enclaves. JoeAnn Hart went to the Galapagos of civilization, Port Ellery, Maine, to create her unique assemblage of fabulously funny, hopelessly conflicted characters. Bearing a certain charming resemblance to “Moonrise Kingdom,” her new book, “Float,” entwines real human drama with earnest, intelligent characters doing and saying the absurd all while in search of something better. There isn’t a page that doesn’t produce a laugh. Not a page that doesn’t evoke a wince. You’ll savor every scene. Readers discover the likable main character, Duncan Leland, in a heap of trouble. He took over the family business, Seacrest’s Ocean Products of Maine, and over time implemented improvements. He makes fertilizer from gurry, fish guts and skeletons. His recent upgrade of the waterfront processing plant was financially unwise; now he owes more than the business is worth. He can’t covert to condos because there’s a moratorium on non-marine use of property on that part of the town’s waterfront. Despondent and worried about meeting payroll, he accepts a loan from a couple of shady characters who appear to be wrangling for outright ownership of his business. Their real motives become clear later. Duncan’s family home is an octagonal oddity perched on an ocean overlook. His

Bearing a certain charming resemblance to “Moonrise Kingdom,” “Float” combines real human drama with earnest, intelligent characters. mother Annabel, “a strong cup of grog,” hasn’t left the house since her husband disappeared in a boating accident a decade earlier. She’s feisty and nutty, and so is Duncan’s brother Nod. The two seem to be in constant cahoots. Duncan, a bit more grounded, is somewhat relieved to discover that the mulberry wine they love (Uncle Fern made casks of it) has hallucinogenic properties. Conversations between Duncan and Annabel are but one of the treats in “Float.” Cora, Duncan’s wife, asks him to give her some space. He’s tense and she wants a little serenity. He briefly lives with his best friend Slocum, a chef of highly

‘Float’ Author: JoeAnn Hart Publisher: Ashland Creek Press; Ashland, Oregon; 2013. Pages: 281 Cost: $17.95 creative but questionable talents. Slocum is another of the prize characters. He is uniquely witty and everything out of his mouth is part genius, part hilarious. When he makes an appetizer using periwinkle and slices of mango, his friend asks, “Dude, does a snail really need fruit?” Slocum replies, “Fruit is the centerpiece of the primate diet. It’s why we like wine!”

Duncan’s rescue of a seagull caught in the loop of a plastic six-pack holder is caught on video and goes viral. It’s good publicity for Port Ellery’s enterprises, which include the rescue of gulls trying to survive the hazards of human intervention and for the resurrected installation artist Adoniram, who repurposes the waste and litter and exhibits it in creative ways. It’s also the moral core of “Float.” Hart writes from her home in Gloucester, Mass., which bears a striking and pleasing resemblance to Port Ellery. She’s thoroughly absorbed the maritime culture. The book is pitch-perfect and stays precisely on point. It’s one enormous aquarium swimming with maritime references. It’s never forced because she’s done it with affection and respect and skill. There are many levels to “Float,” from its relentlessly comic banter to its examination of relationships mired by misunderstandings to the parallel presentation of an ocean community struggling with its reliance on a way of life that’s quickly growing out of reach and its very real identification with that outmoded livelihood. All of this cast in a maritime milieu that never wavers. And all of this presented against a backdrop of a world being strangled and overtaken by its litter and garbage, by “the ugly consequences of human excess,” as Annuncia, Duncan’s general manager, puts it. Hart does a remarkable job of keeping this excess front and center but in a way that’s never deliberate, fake or intrusive. It’s a stellar model of eco-literature and should be viewed as such.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips do OK. – Hoping to Be Helpful, Huntsville, Ala. Dear Helpful: Many readers wrote to point out that the problem “Dateless” is experiencing could be more about the idiosyncratic subscription rules on some dating websites than about the writer or the women he is contacting. Other experienced users shared their stories: Dear Abby: I can tell “Dateless” why he’s not getting “thanks, but no thanks” notes from the women he contacts on the online dating service: Those women are most likely overwhelmed with responses. Before I met my husband 10 years ago, I signed up on a dating site, then left the house to run some errands. When I came back a couple of hours later, I had 75 responses! I tried to answer all of them, but I kept getting more

and more, so I finally gave up. I can only imagine how many responses women get today with online dating even more popular than it was then. – Settled Down in Illinois Dear Abby: How long does one have to wait before determining the person isn’t interested or just hasn’t had the chance to respond? Many sites offer a simple button push that sends a message saying you are not interested. It appears people are simply taking the easy way out without any concern for others. And unfortunately, this doesn’t happen only in online dating. – David in St. Louis Dear Abby: I’d like to suggest that “Dateless” consider that many people don’t check their dating site often – or ever. I signed up on a site in August and stopped looking at it in October. Then I forgot my password and could never look again. – Over it in Tampa • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Look for antioxidants in foods, not pills Dear Doctor K: What is an antioxidant? Should I be taking an antioxidant supplement? Dear Reader: Something terrible often happens to medical scientists: A beautiful theory is murdered by a brutal gang of facts. The theory that vitamin pills with antioxidant powers – primarily vitamins A, C and E – could slow aging, fend off heart disease, improve flagging vision and curb cancer was beautiful and very plausible. As a result, some doctors urged their patients to take such vitamin pills daily. To understand why the theory was taken very seriously, a few basics are in order. As the cells in our body do their different jobs, they need food, and they produce waste. One kind of waste is a group of chemicals called “free radicals,” which occur naturally as byproducts of body processes, such as burning fat. They are also created by environmental factors such as tobacco smoke, ultraviolet rays and air pollution. Free radicals are described as “unstable” because they lack a full set of electrons. This leads them to steal electrons from other molecules. When they steal these electrons, they damage those

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff other molecules. The process of stealing electrons is called oxidation. Antioxidants can chemically combine with free radicals, rendering them harmless. They prevent oxidation – that’s why they’re called antioxidants. Since we know that oxidation can damage tissues – contributing to the aging and death of cells – it made sense that antioxidants might be good for our health. We also knew that many foods that are rich in natural antioxidants definitely were good for our health. That didn’t prove that it was the antioxidants in the foods that led to improved health; it could be something else in the foods. But it gave support to the theory that vitamin pills with antioxidant power would be good for our health. Some scientists find their theories so attractive that they don’t need testing. When that happens, they cease being scientists. Much more often, scientists put their theories to the test. Because the antioxidant vitamin pill theory

was so compelling, a lot of time and effort has been spent in testing it. Unfortunately, results from well-designed trials of antioxidant supplements have failed to back up many of the claims of benefits. One study pooled results from 68 trials with more than 230,000 participants. It found that taking antioxidant supplements is unlikely to help you live longer. Sixty-eight rigorous studies, involving hundreds of thousands of people whose health was followed for many years, that fail to show evidence in support of a theory are a brutal gang of facts. On the other hand, foods rich in antioxidants definitely can help lower your risk of many diseases. Good food sources of antioxidants include fruits and vegetables, particularly tomatoes, kale, blueberries, onions and apples. Other good sources include dark chocolate, whole grains, coffee, green tea and vegetable oils. So get your antioxidants in the form that nature has provided them to us: in food, not pills.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15, and my boyfriend is 16, and I love him a lot. Jeff doesn’t smoke or do drugs, but he does get high by sniffing fumes from hair spray and cooking sprays. He sprays the stuff into a towel and sniffs the fumes. He says that he read somewhere that “sniffing” is safe and does not cause any harm to the body. Can you tell me if this is really true? I really need to know because I don’t want Jeff to hurt himself. Besides being my boyfriend, he is also my very best friend. – Nameless, Flint, Mich. Dear Nameless: Sniffing is not safe, and I urge you to do everything you possibly can to get your boyfriend to stop. This practice causes any number of physical maladies and sometimes leads to death. Fatalities can occur in a variety of ways. Some spray inhalants, for instance, coat the lungs so that oxygen cannot penetrate the sticky film, causing the inhaler to suffocate. And some users, in order to get more inhalant into their bodies more quickly, place a plastic bag over their head to cover the nose and mouth. This can cause loss of consciousness, with the bag still on the person’s head. Once again, the sniffer suffocates. Sniffers lucky enough to avoid the worst, nevertheless, often suffer from such ailments as loss of coordination, loss of appetite, temporary loss of consciousness, drowsiness, sores on nose or mouth, loss of balance, double vision, eye pain, headaches, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, partial paralysis, numbness, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, chest pains, increased salivation and weakness.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Sniffing is a dangerous but cheap way to get high. Jeff sniffs because he is young and has little money to purchase alcohol, but he is old enough to buy cheap hair spray. Do all you can to encourage your boyfriend to enjoy his life free of “sniffing.” If he can’t do that, end the relationship. It might be difficult, but it is 100 percent necessary. Dr. Wallace: Please inform your teenage reading audience that adoption is an alternative available to them when confronted with an unwanted pregnancy. After reading a letter from a pregnant teen who felt her only choices were to have an abortion or become an unwed mother, I decided that I must write to you. Adoption has changed greatly over the years. Today, there are many groups and organizations available to help a teen faced with unwanted pregnancy to find loving adoptive parents for her child. She then becomes a giver of the greatest gift a person can give – a life – to a loving couple who cannot create life. As an adoptive mom, I am so happy and thankful to our teen birthmother for giving my husband and me a chance to be parents. – Mom, Michigan City, Ind. Dear Mom: Thanks for reminding pregnant girls who are struggling to make the best choice at a difficult time in their lives that adoption to loving adoptive parents is a choice they should consider. • Write Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg. net.

Dear Abby: My husband and I read the letter you ran on Dec. 21 from “Dateless in Dayton.” We have a few thoughts on the matter we’d like to share with him and anyone else who is having bad luck getting responses on dating websites. We are middle-aged and have been together for two years. Even though we deactivated our memberships in the dating sites we were part of, we still get emails daily that “‘So-and-So’ sent you a message.” It appears these sites still show our profiles as active, allowing people to try to contact us. So it’s entirely possible that the women “Dateless” has contacted were inactive or expired members who were never able to see his messages. We would like to reassure “Dateless” that the problem may not be him. We would also like to encourage him not to give up on finding a mate. He needs to get out there and do the things he loves because he may end up meeting someone that way. If he covers all his bases and is himself, he’ll

How do you get to your winners?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Who wrote this about whom? “In this matter of shimmering into rooms, the chappie is rummy to a degree.” This week we are going to look at the important topic of entries. It is no good having winners in your hand or on the board if you cannot get to them. In this example, how should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest heart? The North hand is too strong for one no-trump and too weak for two no-trump; hence, one spade. South is too weak for a two-level response; hence, one no-trump. When the opening-lead choice is between a major and a minor, it is usually right to pick the major because opponents will look for major-suit fits, but rarely worry about the minors. South should establish and run his club suit. But as long as the opponent with the club ace learned the game before breakfast this morning, he will know not to take the first club trick; he will win the second club. Then South will have three winning clubs in his hand and will need an entry. What is his only entry? The heart queen. So, South must take the first trick with dummy’s heart king (or ace), not run it around to his hand. Then he immediately attacks clubs. South will collect at least one spade, three hearts, one diamond and four clubs. Today’s opening quotation was written by P.G. Wodehouse about Jeeves. If you have never read any of Wodehouse’s books, enter your local library or bookstore (concrete or electronic) and buy one.

There are several issues to consider, but these are the most important. 1) Geneva Hearing Services employs only licensed audiologists. There are two professionals who are licensed in the state of Illinois to sell hearing aids: an audiologist and a hearing aid dispenser. a. Audiologists are required to have a Master’s or Doctoral level degree. They are clinically and academically trained in all aspects of hearing and balance disorders, including tinnitus. b. Hearing aid dispensers must have a minimum of an associates degree. 2) Geneva Hearing Services is not contracted or owned by any one manufacturer. This means we offer unbiased professional care and routinely update our training in order to provide our patients with the latest technologies available. This is not always the case at other ofﬁces. Stores like Beltone, Miracle Ear and AccuQuest will typically recommend their own brand/manufacture of hearing aid, thus limiting the options available to the patient.
