GENEVA

Mayoral hopefuls share visions at forum McQuillan, Burns discuss topics at Kirkwood Homeowners Association Clubhouse By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Incumbent Mayor Kevin Burns and challenger Bob McQuillan engaged in a friendly repartee Saturday at a candidate forum at the Kirkwood Homeowners Association Clubhouse, where about 40 people attended. Burns is seeking his fourth term in the April 9 consolidated election. McQuillan is co-founder of a local taxpayer watchdog group, Geneva TaxFACTS. The candidates’ discussion was freewheeling and covered several topics. In talking about the city’s debt, Burns said in 2001 when he was elected mayor, the city’s debt was $80 million. It now has been reduced to $54 million. Burns spoke of the city’s improvements under his leadership, such as the city’s utility has the lowest electric rates in the area, and 10 percent of what is produced comes from the closed Settlers Hill Landfill, which is sold on the power grid. The city’s downtown and Geneva Commons each generate $100 million in sales tax, from which the city gets 1 percent, Burns said. The downtown’s vacancy rate was 15 percent in January 2012, now reduced to 8 percent, Burns said. “Sales tax revenue is up,” Burns said. McQuillan said he would promote the economic base of the downtown to gain sales tax revenue, rather than looking to taxpayers. The city’s portion of the tax bill is about 8 percent, officials said. “In this current economy, we should be looking at a twothree-year plan and constantly updating it,” McQuillan said. “We don’t have a lot of opportunities to generate revenue outside of property taxes, except if we bring business in and if

we take our sales tax revenue [and] increase that.” McQuillan said he would promote a marketing program to attract younger people from Chicago to spend the day in Geneva. McQuillan said once young couples decide to have children, they will want to live in a community like Geneva – but the taxes have to be affordable. McQuillan said Geneva should combine its marketing funds with other towns and do promotions as a group for the

region. Burns said the city does planning two to three years out, in addition to 20-year planning. “There is a plan in place annually, that is audited by the City Council and in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce with respect to how do we attract more people to our community,” Burns said. With all the city’s festivals – run by the Chamber – more than 500,000 people come to Geneva, Burns said.

“We invest in the Chamber to help bring people to town,” Burns said. “State law precludes … pooling our money, as Mr. McQuillan describes, in order to market a larger region. We simply can’t do it.” Burns agreed that when neighboring towns succeed, the success includes Geneva. Leaders of Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles and West Chicago meet regularly, he said, to talk about how all can benefit from an influx of visitors. Until state law changes, Burns said, “We do the very best we can to market our community.” McQuillan advocated getting city leaders and lawmakers on a bus to Springfield and “demand that the state do what we want to do.”

SUGAR GROVE

Hopefuls meet, greet residents at open house By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Candidates running in several Sugar Grove races, including village president, village board and library board, met with constituents Sunday at an open house organized by two candidates. Pat Graceffa, write-in candidate for the Sugar Grove Library Board, and Ed De Bartolo, who also is running for library board, hosted the open house at the Sugar Grove Community House. Graceffa said she wanted to make sure voters had a chance to interact with candidates instead of listening to speeches.

Election Central To learn more about the candidates in the April 9 consolidated election, visit the Kane County Chronicle Election Central website at www.kcchronicle.com/election. Several candidates showed up for the three-hour open house, including village president candidates Kevin Geary and incumbent Sean Michels. The consolidated election is set for April 9. Geary said if he’s elected, his priorities would be to strive toward a more open and

honest government, diversify the village’s tax base by bringing in new business and encourage more public participation. He said he wants to see the village’s meetings streamed online and archived for more transparency. He said he wants to see a “world class” transportation system. Michels, who has served as village president for 14 years, said one of his top priorities if re-elected is to work on an I-88 and Route 47 interchange, diversifying the tax base by bringing in new business and finish building out housing subdivisions that haven’t been completed. He said he wants to revisit impact fee agreements and bring a Metra

station to the area. Five Sugar Grove trustee candidates are running for three open seats in April. Stephanie Landorf, who is running for one of those seats, said if she’s elected, she wants to look into using money from the defunct Prairie Parkway project to fund an I-88 interchange, improvements at Route 47 and Route 56, or widening Route 47 between Sugar Grove and Yorkville. She also pushed for better transparency by streaming videos of meetings online. Gayle Deja-Schultz, who also is running for village

trustee, said if she’s elected, she would explore ways to streamline government processes. She said she wants to see responsible growth and better communication with residents, such as posting upcoming projects on the village’s website or on social media. Incumbent Bob Bohler is seeking to retain his seat, which he has held for 16 years. He said his goal if re-elected is to keep budgets in the black, adding that he thinks the village has positioned itself well during the past five years to move forward.

League of Women Voters will stage candidate forums in April By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com Voters in the Tri-Cities can catch one last glimpse of school board and mayoral candidates in a forum setting before the consolidated election. The League of Women Voters of Central Kane County will have events from April 2 to 4, featuring candidates in Batavia, St. Charles and Geneva. The election is set for April 9. Patti Lackman, the voter service chair for the league, said the organization long has valued its role in elections. The league doesn’t make endorsements. Audi-

ence members submit questions at the events, but the questions are screened. She said great effort is made to be fair. “The league brings some openness to the forums because we don’t have any vested interest, one way or the other,” she said. “We want to educate the voters, period.” The Batavia candidates will appear at 6:30 p.m. April 2 at the Batavia Public Library, 10 S. Batavia Ave., Batavia. Candidates for the Batavia School District 101 board have been invited. The St. Charles candidates will appear at 6:30 p.m. April 3 at the Kane County Brach Court at the Circuit Clerk of-

fice, 530 S. Randall Road, St. Charles. Candidates for the St. Charles School District 303 board and the St. Charles mayoral race have been invited. The forum will be divided into two parts, the first of which will feature candidates for school board, followed by the candidates for mayor. The Geneva candidates will appear at 6:30 p.m. April 4 also at the Kane County Branch Court. Candidates for the Geneva School District 304 board and for the Geneva mayoral race have been invited to participate. The forum will be divided into two parts. For information, visit www.lwvckc.org.

An egg hunt was held Saturday at the Elburn Lions Club.

Thrill of the hunt: Kids collect Easter treats By AL LAGATTOLLA alagattolla@shawmedia.com A full morning of Easter egg hunting complete, the Iwanski family cracked open plastic eggs, revealing the treats inside. With four children, ages 2 to nearly 8, the Iwanskis took part in several of the age divisions at Lions Park in Elburn. The annual event, run by the Elburn Lions Club, attracts hundreds to the park for the hunts and a breakfast. Amy Iwanski said it’s a tradition for her family. “We come every year,” she said, adding that the family used to go to a larger egg hunt but found the smaller hunt at Elburn to be a better experience. She was there with her husband, Chris, and Morgan, soon to be 8; Mallory, 6; Carson, 4; and Maryn, 2. “Why not support our community.” Although conditions were chilly, Chris Iwanski said he’ll take that. He’s been at egg hunts that have been rainy, in snow and in freezing conditions. The kids, he said, did just fine. “Oh, yeah, plenty,” he said when asked whether enough eggs were connected. It was a big day for egg hunts, with one staged in just about every town. In them, youths collect plastic eggs, which are filled with

candy treats. In some, there were hunts specifically for dogs, with eggs filled with dog-friendly treats. One such event was sponsored by the Sugar Grove Park District. Tom and Michelle Scales brought their sons, Jack, 10; Bryan, 6; and their dog, Jet, a black lab they adopted last year. “It was his first hunt,” Michelle Scales said. “We didn’t know what to expect.” Tom Scales walked Jet through the hunt. He said he knew he wanted to take Jet to the event when they adopted him because it is one of the family’s highlights. “We try to do as much as we can with the park district,” he said. “They go out of their way to open it up for everyone, the kids, the dogs.” Suzanne Serrurier, the park district’s financial manager and registrar, presided over the dog event. She said she heard of a similar one five years ago and decided it would be a good fit in Sugar Grove. Saturday’s event was the fourth to include dogs. She said there were more than 40 dogs. “The first year, we had maybe five dogs, so it’s grown,” she said. “So many people consider their pets as part of the family. We do want programs that include pets.”

Home foreclosures continued to trouble the local housing market last month. But the problem appears to have lessened in February, according to the latest round of foreclosure filings data supplied by foreclosure tracking company RealtyTrac. Compared to January, foreclosure filings decreased by almost 19 percent in February in a nine ZIP code area that includes St. Charles, Geneva, Batavia, Elburn, Sugar Grove, Maple Park, North Aurora, South Elgin and much of Campton Hills. The February numbers also marked a 3.7 percent decline when compared to the foreclosure filings logged in February 2012, RealtyTrac’s data revealed. In all, 181 homes in that region faced some kind of foreclosure-related action brought by lenders in February, RealtyTrac said. In January, that

number stood at 223. And last year, the region suffered 188 foreclosure filings.

Within the ZIP codes for St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia, the number of foreclosure filings increased, rising from 101 in January to 105 last month. And compared to a year ago, foreclosure filings in the Tri-Cities ZIP codes increased more than 16 percent, rising from 90 in February 2012. In the communities outside the Tri-Cities, foreclosures decreased in February compared to a year earlier, dropping from 98 in February 2012 to 86 last year. That is the lowest total in those communities in February since 2011. Illinois continues to rank among the worst states for home foreclosure activity, RealtyTrac said. One in every 417 homes in the state received a foreclosure filing in February, giving Illinois the third worst foreclosure rate in the state for the second consecutive month. In all, 12,671 Illinois properties received a foreclosure filing last month, RealtyTrac said.

GENEVA – About a dozen constituents of the 14th Congressional District met Monday with U.S. Rep. Randy Hulgren, R-Winfield, seeking his support for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as universal background checks. Jess Chipkin, 59, of Huntley, started an online petition seeking like-minded constituents to sign on. The group brought nearly 400 signatures to Hultgren’s district office in Geneva. “I appreciated the fact that the congressman gave us 45 minutes,” Chipkin said. “I don’t think anything really changed. The congressman said twice that he might be open to a ban on very specific kinds of guns, but it would not be absolute.” Hultgren’s communications director Joshua Wessell said the congressman supports the Second Amendment, but will consider any bills that come out of the U.S. Senate. “The senate is taking on gun proposals on piecemeal basis, issue by issue. He will wait and see what comes,” Wessell said. “He told the constituent group this morning [that] he will take a look at whatever comes out of the Senate. He is happy to look for areas of common ground, but fundamentally, there is just going to be a difference of opinion.”

Rather than gun control, Hultgren advocated more funding in Illinois for mental health services, Wessell said. “The congressman supported that strongly when he was a member of the General Assembly, particularly community health centers in Elgin and Aurora,” Wessell said. “They do a tremendous job. They should be supported. Illinois ranks fairly low in state investment in mental health.” But Chipkin disagreed with Hultgren’s message refocusing on mental health. “His arguments are in denial that there is an in-your-face relationship between guns and murder rates,” Chipkin said. Geneva resident John Rice said he was unsure whether the constituents swayed Hultgren. “It’s good for constituents to build their case for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines,” Rice said. “He was kind of non-committal. His position is, he would like to see what could be done to enforce current laws.” Rice said he tried to convey to Hultgren that assault rifles were designed for killing human beings on the battlefield. And if someone had come to Hultgren’s district office with an assault weapon and a high-capacity magazine, “we would not have a chance.” “But if he had a 10-round magazine, he would have to stop and reload,” Rice said. “Then we would have a chance to overpower him.”

ST. CHARLES

Committee calls for liquor code changes By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Changes to the city’s liquor code appear likely after several St. Charles aldermen Monday called for separate restaurant and tavern licenses as well as a late-night permit allowing for 2 a.m. closings. Ray Rogina, 3rd Ward alderman and mayoral candidate, outlined those suggestions and others after Police Chief Jim Lamkin updated the Government Services Committee on the joint efforts the city and St. Charles Tavern Asso-

ciation have made to combat alcohol-fueled problems downtown. The association formed in fall in response to the City Council’s threat of changing closing time from 2 to 1 a.m. Mayor Don DeWitte proposed the reduction in hours after an August weekend that required police response to several downtown fights involving intoxicated people. Since September, the bars have implemented a 1:20 a.m. last call, stopped alcohol service at 1:40 a.m., created a banned list and began using hand stamps to track patrons,

Lamkin said. “There’s been a real good improvement in regard to fight calls,” said Lamkin, noting a decline of more than 60 percent. There were, however, more calls for battery, disorderly conduct/public indecency, disturbances and intoxicated subjects, according to a chart Lamkin provided. He noted police officers have shifted their focus to those areas. “The harder we go after that, that’s going to generate calls,” said Lamkin, who also indicated several of the calls were generated by bar staff.

Russ Whitaker, a lawyer representing the association, acknowledged the work isn’t over. “This is a work in progress,” he said. “I’m encouraged by the progress that has been made.” Alderman Jim Martin was not. The 4th Ward alderman cited the increased calls. “Where is the progress that we’ve been making?” he said. Second Ward Alderman Cliff Carrignan said the root cause of the problems – over-serving – hasn’t been fixed. Third Ward Alderman Bill Turner agreed, describing the situation as “dancing

around the real problem.” Rogina offered several ideas aldermen plan to discuss, including a late-night closing privilege of 2 a.m., having separate tavern and restaurant liquor licenses and establishing a liquor commission with multiple members. Rogina said he wouldn’t want to delay the issue for another year, but city administrator Brian Townsend said some elements might not be able to take effect until May 1, 2014. Staff is expected to return with a legal opinion next month. “I’d much rather do it right than do it fast,” Carrignan said.

Aldermen recommend property sale, contract for maintenance By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Geneva aldermen acting as the committee of the whole recommended approval of a landscaping contract for nearly $60,000 for routine maintenance at cityowned properties. The unanimous vote was for Accurate Edge Landscape Services Inc. in LaFox, for a one-year contract, with options for 2014 and 2015 at a 3 percent increase. Final action will be taken by the City Council. In all, the city received 19

bids, but only five were complete. The range of the other bids was from nearly $135,000 to just more than $162,000. Aldermen also approved rezoning a lot in the Fox Run subdivision and a well site from its current rural residential to a low density single family, so it can be sold and developed as a single-family residence. The city’s former well site was sealed in 2009, and together the properties create a parcel that is 15,809 square feet. The city no longer needs the site, officials said. Because the combined lots do not meet frontage requirements for ru-

ral residential zoning, changing it to a low density designation makes it a buildable lot officials said. The Geneva Plan Commission recommended approval of the zoning change earlier this month. In other action, aldermen also approved spending $650,000 in motor fuel tax revenue for its streets and highways maintenance program. Normally, the city pays for maintenance through non-motor fuel tax revenue, officials said, but using MFT revenue will reduce preparation and time involved in getting state approval for its bid documents.

Aurora man charged with burglary of store Police: Suspect may be involved in other ‘smash and grabs’ By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A 39-yearold Aurora man charged with breaking into a St. Charles auto parts store Friday night also is a suspect in other smash-and-grab burglaries in the area, including Geneva and Aurora, according to the St. Charles Police Department. Mark E. Swienton, of the 1300 block of Monomoy Street, was being held on $130,000 bond at the Kane County Correctional Center. He would need to post $13,000 bail to be released, St. Charles police spokesman Paul McCurtain said. “He’s being looked at for a number of smash and grabs that have occurred in the area,” McCurtain said. McCurtain said a cash drawer and money were stolen last week from Valley Spring Auto Spa, 3255 W. Main St. in St. Charles. In Geneva, a Citgo gas station in the 600 block of South First Street was burglarized

in the early morning hours before 5 a.m. March 15, Geneva police have reported. Police have said a cash register containing an unknown amount of cash was taken. The Aurora Police Department was investigating numerous smash-and-grab burglaries reported in the past two weeks, McCurtain said. Surveillance videos reportedly showed a male subject driving an older model ChevroMark E. let Prizm with Swienton body damage to the left rear and a missing right rear hubcap. An Aurora police officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle matching that description, and a court order for a tracking device was issued, St. Charles police said. Using the tracking device, officers from the Aurora Police Department reportedly followed Swienton into St. Charles on Friday.

About 10 p.m., McCurtain said, the officers watched Swienton throw a large rock through the window of NAPA Auto Parts, 201 S. Third St., and enter the business through the broken window. The officers followed, announced their presence and ordered Swienton to the ground, McCurtain said. He noted St. Charles officers responded to the scene to assist. Swienton resisted arrest by pushing and hitting the two officers, McCurtain said. Swienton was taken to Delnor Hospital for treatment of minor cuts and bruises, McCurtain said. He did not know whether Swienton was injured by the broken window or during his scuffle with the police. He was charged with burglary and resisting arrest. He is expected in court April 3. Swienton has a history of burglary and residential burglary and has been on parole for burglary since February 2012, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Proposed legislation would ban hand-held cellphones while driving in Ill. By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

together. Not everyone is a fan of the proposed legislation. State Rep. Kay Hatcher, R-Yorkville, opposed the measure. “Most people who have hearing aids can’t use handsfree devices,” Hatcher said. “I believe that it goes against the Americans with Disabilities Act and is prejudicing against folks with little means.” Hatcher said she wears a hearing aid. State Sen. Karen McConnaughay, R-South Elgin, has said she would oppose the legislation. “People are capable of making responsible decisions, and we need to protect their right to do so,” McConnaughay had said in a prepared statement. “If we continue to unnecessarily

regulate things that people can decide for themselves, where do we draw the line?” State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, said he would first want to examine both sides of the issue. “I would want to hear the debate,” he said. St. Charles Police Department spokesman Paul McCurtain said it would be difficult to enforce a handheld cellphone ban. He said the department already vigorously enforces the ban in school zones while students are present and in construction zones. “It’s hard to see drivers who are talking on their cellphones, but we would enforce it to the best of our ability,” McCurtain said. “We have SUVs in our fleet that allow us to look down into their vehicles.”

St. Charles also has its own distracted driving ordinance that “covers anything that would distract a driver from operating his or her vehicle,” McCurtain said. Other area police departments are in favor of the ordinance. Julie Nash, Geneva police patrol operations commander, said “any law that is going make the roadway safer, the police department supports.” “I think the statistics show that the use of cellphones or texting while driving are a leading cause of accidents,” Nash said. Nash said such a law would be “fairly easy to enforce.” “If somebody is talking on the phone and holding it in their hand, that is pretty obvious what they are doing,” she said.

The National Safety Council estimates at least 23 percent of all car crashes – or at least 1.3 million each year – involve cellphone use. The council also estimated that 1.2 million crashes each year involve drivers using cellphones for conversations and at least 100,000 additional crashes can be related to drivers who are texting. Veteran police officer Dennis Harper, who operates the Drive Home Safe driving school in Geneva, supports the proposed law. “Driving in and of itself takes multitasking,” Harper said. “Eliminating hand-held cellphones will help, if you can get the public to comply.” Harper said he receives his cellphone service through his car stereo. “I personally don’t like holding up a phone to my ear,” he said. Harper is a retired Batavia police officer, and he now is a detective with the Campton Hills police department and an accident reconstruction specialist. “I’ve seen a lot of accidents that can be attributed to cellphone use,” Harper said.

Batavia resident Jamie Kroc said she believes that anyone talking on a cellphone while operating a car should be wearing a Bluetooth headset. “I use a Bluetooth in my car religiously,” she said. Kroc said she supports proposed legislation that would ban the use of handheld cellphones throughout the state. The bill recently was approved in the state House of Representatives, 6446, and it is now headed to the state Senate. Similar legislation passed the state House last year before being defeated in the state Senate. The legislation would allow the use of handsfree phones, and violators could be fined a maximum of $75 for a first offense. Motorists are prohibited from using hand-held cellphones while driving in school or construction zones. In addition, they are prohibited from texting while driving, and drivers 18 and younger are banned from using wireless phones while driving al-

OPINIONS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR St. Charles needs a competent mayor To the Editor: St. Charles certainly needs a competent executive as mayor. 1. St. Charles’ city property tax rate is 28 percent higher than Geneva’s and 23 percent higher than Batavia’s. 2. Some planning documents show the city has projected red ink for years to come. 3. The failed First Street Redevelopment Project is a mess even after the city has spent $31 million. 4. $16 million of Costco city sales taxes are paying for bonds that subsidized Costco’s purchase of land. 5. The city is rebating sales tax funds back to seven existing St. Charles companies. The people of St. Charles are most fortunate to have a mayoral candidate who is extremely competent, and his name is Jake Wyatt. He is a retired army colonel who was awarded the Bronze Star for valor while serving in Vietnam. In the Persian Gulf War, Jake supervised 100 logistics experts and interfaced with 33

coalition nations to provide for the procurement and placement of $57 billion worth of supplies, equipment and services into the combat theater. General Schwarzkopf, who led the 670,000-man army, stated that the logistic effort was “Herculean.” His most emotional and memorable military experience was in Vietnam when he helped to bring back American soldiers who had been held prisoner in the jungle. At Sears, he was responsible for a $300 million budget, and he saved Sears $150 million through cost cutting and cost avoidance. Because Jake cares about people, if elected, he will implement a “Mayor’s Open Door Policy” where he will hold bi-monthly meetings one hour prior to City Council meetings and have meetings on Mondays where citizens can freely express their concerns, ideas and issues. Jake Wyatt – a remarkable man who grew up in St. Charles and who will make us proud. Gene Kalley St. Charles

ANOTHER VIEW

Reaching a breakthrough on fracking THE WASHINGTON POST Last week brought a heartening breakthrough in the war over fracking. A handful of major green groups and big drillers agreed on environmental standards. We’d forgive you for raising a skeptical eyebrow. Some in the industry have been claiming that fracking – which involves pumping fluid underground to extract natural gas from rock formations – needs no more rules. Some environmentalists, meanwhile, have been ringing the alarm so loudly that the practice seems too dangerous even to contemplate. But the right path was never to let drillers continue without more oversight, nor was it to ban fracking. Amer-

ica’s natural gas boom is far too important an opportunity – economic and environmental – to ignore. But sound regulations are needed to ensure that it is not an ecological disaster. These new rules are a large step toward striking the right balance, and everyone involved deserves credit. The Environmental Defense Fund, the Clean Air Task Force and some other green advocates joined with Chevron, Shell and other energy companies to create the Center for Sustainable Shale Development, an independent standard-setter that will certify when companies comply with its rules. The rule-writing process is ongoing, but the center’s initial offering is impressive, outpacing the government’s regulatory

efforts and addressing many of the major environmental concerns. The standards demand that drillers recycle as much fluid as possible and not discharge what’s left into waterways. Drillers would have to buttress their wells with casing and cement. They would have to disclose all the chemicals in the drilling fluid they use. The engines that operate rigs and transport material would have to meet high emissions standards. One critical rule would oblige firms to study the local environment before drilling and then strictly monitor it, including ground and surface water, after. This would discourage risk-taking and provide valuable data to help move the debate from emotion to evidence.

Perhaps most important are the center’s rules to prevent methane from escaping into the air during frack jobs. A big attraction of natural gas – which is mostly methane – is that it burns much cleaner than coal, producing about half the globe-warming carbon dioxide. But unburned methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, so if some of it escapes from wells during extraction, that dulls the fuel’s environmental benefits. The new rules would have companies collect and sell all the methane that comes out of wells. They also would have to check the seals on their equipment regularly. More rules are on the way. The center can’t require

companies to comply with them. It can only audit those that voluntarily sign up. But there is plenty of value in that. The industry can hardly now claim that the rules are too onerous. Any small-town mayor or rural landowner thinking of allowing fracking can insist that companies be certified. State and federal policymakers, meanwhile, can look to the center’s standards as a guide as they write their own rules. The center provides a model for environmental groups, too. They advance their cause much further when they accept that the country is fracking and push for sound regulation, instead of unrealistically insisting that all that natural gas stay in the ground.

Basketball fans familiar with the Wheaton Academy sophomore associate the number 3 with Ruggles’ spectacular outside marksmanship, underscored by his state 3-point shooting championship the weekend of March 15 and 16. But that number – three – carries even more resonance in Ruggles’ life off the basketball court. If it weren’t for a life-changing triumph in the third heart surgery Ruggles endured as a boy, his ascent to best 3-point shooter in Illinois would never have been possible.

Wheaton Academy sophomore Josh Ruggles shoots around in the basement basketball court of his family’s Wheaton home. Ruggles, who underwent three heart surgeries as a boy, won the IHSA Class 3A and King of the Hill 3-point contests this month in Peoria. Ruggles, Josh’s mother. “We went, ‘What?’ … Sure enough, it was just pounding. I grabbed [his brother, Brandon], who is just two years older, pulled him over, put my hand on both of their hearts, and went ‘OK, this is not right.’ ” Some trying times were beginning. Ruggles was rushed to the hospital, and it was soon determined that he had supraventricular tachycar-

dia, a condition that causes a heart to beat abnormally fast for reasons other than exercise, stress or illness. In his case, his heart often pounded about 240 beats a minute, three times faster than normal. An ablation surgery – during which catheters are inserted through the neck and groin, with the goal being to burn an extra pathway in the heart that was thought to trigger the condition – was

planned at Children’s Hospital in Chicago. The doctors initially expected a successful resolution to the seven-plus hour procedure but, about a week later, the episodes returned. The prospect of putting their small child through another major procedure sounded awful so Holly and David Ruggles decided to control the condition without one for as long as they could. For a few years, they man-

aged that way, using whichever quirky techniques seemed to work. One steamy day the summer before Ruggles entered third grade, he had an especially upsetting episode while competing in the championship game of a baseball tournament in Winfield, where the family lived before later moving to Wheaton.

See RUGGLES, page 14

“We said ‘Honey, are you feeling OK?’ He said ‘Yeah, it’s just my heart is going really fast. We went, ‘What?’ … Sure enough, it was just pounding. I grabbed [his brother, Brandon], who is just two years older, pulled him over, put my hand on both of their hearts, and went ‘OK, this is not right.’ ” Holly Ruggles, mother of Wheaton Academy boys basketball sophomore Josh Ruggles

Third surgery preserved Ruggles’ shot at basketball career • RUGGLES Continued from page 13 The family turned to one of its most reliable tactics – standing Josh on his head, allowing the blood to rush down and gradually relax the heart – as a crowd of concerned onlookers gathered. It took a long time to stop the episode, and the family soon decided another ablation surgery was needed. This time, they turned to Dr. Warren Jackman, a noted specialist affiliated with the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City. Ruggles’ second surgery, in November 2005, lasted twice as long as the first – about 14 hours. It led to the first of what would be two major revelations – Ruggles had a variation of SVT in which he had multiple extra pathways that were problematic, not just one. The second procedure actually was counterproductive in the short-term. “They thought they had it, and he came home, and it was a zillion times worse,” Holly Ruggles said. Ruggles’ heart was more volatile than ever, with more than 700 fluctuations a day. More surgery would be required for the basketball-loving third-grader.

Third time’s the charm As young as Ruggles was during this period, his memories of his heart woes and related surgeries remain vivid and detailed, right down to his angst about being denied frozen yogurt like the rest of the family enjoyed the night before one of the procedures. Naturally, his fellow third graders weren’t the most tactful – what if you wake up during surgery, one of them wondered – but their concern was nonetheless touching. “These kids, for third-graders, they made some impressive letters,” Ruggles said. “One of them had a basketball hoop cut out of it and it would fold. It was really impressive.” The prospect of surgery No. 3, just three months after the second procedure, was

overwhelming, but the family had no real alternatives. “I had to find a lot of techniques to make it stop,” Ruggles said. “One was standing on my head, and then after the second surgery, that didn’t work at all anymore, so I had to squat down and hold my breath, and that would soon get it to stop, but then it got to the point where that wouldn’t even do it. “I had all these tricks that would work and then it would get to the point where they’re not working anymore, and I’m just sitting here waiting for it to stop, and I didn’t know what to do to stop it then.” So Ruggles and his parents trekked back to Oklahoma for the third surgery. This time, the family was told a pacemaker was “a definite possibility” pending the outcome of the surgery. That likely would have dealt a fatal blow to playing contact sports for Ruggles, who already was following his father’s footsteps as a basketball zealot. But the third surgery – finally – delivered the intended results. Again, the plot thickened. Doctors discovered that not only were there extra pathways involved, but many of them were located in a muscle outside the heart, not inside. “Basically their comment to us was this is the kind of thing we put in our textbooks,” David Ruggles said. A couple months after the procedure, Ruggles’ life was close to normal, and it has stayed that way since. He’s not sure how many of his Wheaton Academy teammates even know about his heart history. Other than a few isolated moments, Ruggles enjoys complete peace of mind. “I still right now sometimes, whenever I feel my heart do something weird, I get worried,” Ruggles said. “I’m like ‘OK, I’m not letting this happen.’ And then it’ll be fine. My heart will be beating just normally.” His parents are another matter. “I’d say the main thing, for my parents, they still sometimes will worry about it,” Ruggles said. “They’ll always check up on me because I’m

the one who had the three bigtime surgeries. I don’t want them to feel that anymore. I want them to just be fine with it and not have to worry about it. “But that’s not really something you can get rid of because it’s a part of them, too. They had to go through it all the exact same I did.”

King of the Hill Any red-blooded basketball fan likely felt his heartbeat quicken a pace or two March 15 at Peoria’s Carver Arena. That’s when Ruggles matched his total from the qualifying round the day before and drained a staggering 13 of 15, pressure 3-point shots to win the IHSA Class 3A 3-point contest. His performance included 12 makes in a row but, indicative of the hard-to-fathom standards he maintains, Ruggles came away ticked that he missed his final shot of the round. The next day, Ruggles defeated the three champions from Illinois’ other classes to be named Illinois’ King of the Hill – the best 3-point shooter in the state. Wheaton Academy boys basketball coach Paul Ferguson calls Ruggles the hardest-working Warrior he has coached, a notion backed up by the 3,000 shots a week Ruggles hoists year-round. Many of those come in his own home. “I really, really want to play at the next level,” Ruggles said. “I have the resources. I mean, I’ve got a gym in my basement where I can practice whenever I want. I’ve got goals in mind, especially for this offseason that are specifically so I can get my name out there and get recognized, and make our team a lot better next year, because that’s the main thing.” After a shooting exhibition like Ruggles staged in Peoria – sinking 26 of 30 3-pointers over the competition’s first two days – it might seem that motivation to keep improving would be hard to come by. But Ruggles – who has played for the Mercury Elite AAU program alongside Tri-Cities hoops standouts such as St. Charles East’s Cole Gentry and Geneva’s Nate

Navigato, Chris Parrilli and Cam Cook – plans to push himself like never before this offseason. “I don’t at all think, man, how much more do I have to practice, because I’m wide open [during the 3-point contest]” Ruggles said. “It’s a 3-point contest. You get 15 wide-open shots, and how many of those do you get in a game? There are so many other things of my game that I have to work on that are more than just shooting.” Ruggles made 42 percent of his 3-point shots and 88 percent of his free throws as a sophomore at Wheaton Academy, where he played alongside big brother Brandon, who was a starting senior forward for the conference champion Warriors. Ferguson anticipates greatness from the 6-foot, 145-pound guard as physical maturation complements an already striking skill set. “I think in the next two years, his junior and senior year, you’re going to see him be one of the top guards in the western suburbs,” Ferguson said. “Great kid, great leader, and he really works at it.” Ruggles’ heart checkups are down to once a year. He has scar tissue from his surgeries and there is a possibility of a pacemaker as an adult, but there is little reason for his heart history to be at the forefront of his thoughts. Still, Holly Ruggles thinks her son’s airtight focus and ability to thrive under pressure might stem from his challenging childhood. “He just has this approach of ‘I just have to focus and get though this,’ ” Holly Ruggles said. “I sometimes wonder if some of that comes from how he approached surgery.” When the family traveled to Oklahoma for the past two surgeries, they encountered many children facing much more dire circumstances. Ruggles has kept that in mind, and hopes his own uplifting ending is not the exception. “If there are other kids who have something like I had or have something going on in their life that could hold them back, you can’t think about the negative things,” Ruggles said. “You have to count your blessings.”

Burlington Central was scheduled to leave Monday morning for a southern Illinois, spring break road trip – three varsity games and two JV games, beginning Monday in Centralia – but a snowy forecast prompted coach Kyle Nelson and the Rockets to call off the trip Saturday afternoon. “We saw the initial forecast was for about five to eight inches,” Nelson said. “We’re pretty lucky [we didn’t go]. It turns out they got about twice that.”

Clear-cut as the decision was, Nelson still feels badly about scrapping the annual trip, “especially for our seniors,” he said. “They worked hard,” Nelson said. “They had to raise money, too, so it’s kind of a bummer for them. They don’t have another shot to go.” Nelson said the fundraising money will now likely go toward field improvements. The Rockets now hope to open the season Thursday at Hinsdale South or Saturday at Grayslake Central. St. Charles North, meanwhile, followed through with its trip to Marion, though snow in southern Illinois is altering the week’s slate of games at Rent One Park.

COACH SLY SEZ ... Let’s face it, there are going to be a lot of athletes who would rather be doing anything but playing baseball (or softball or soccer or running track) on a 45-degree day. Sly’s always been impressed by the kids who bring their A game, or something close to it, on those

chilly days when you can’t feel your extremities. You don’t have to be a middle linebacker to show you’re tough. Fighting off an inside fastball on a cold, April day, and lining the next pitch into the gap shows the same thing. • You can respond at kcchronicle.com/blogs/sly.

Suffering a baserunning injury before throwing his first pitch of the season is hardly how Geneva pitcher Jordan Touro envisioned his senior season unfolding. Touro, a South Alabama recruit and three-year stalwart in Geneva’s starting rotation, was summoned to pinch-run for catcher Steffen Graham during Friday’s season opener at Jacksonville. The maneuver almost turned disastrous after what Touro called “just a freak accident.” After a pitch in the dirt, Touro took off for second base. When he slid into the base, his hand jammed into the shortstop’s leg, leaving the middle finger of his left hand dislocated at close to a 45 degree angle, facing toward his pinkie. “When it happened, I was in shock,” Touro said. “I looked at it and was hoping it was dislocated. When we went to the hospital. … They said it was dislocated, which made me happier. At least it wasn’t my right hand and it wasn’t broken or anything, but yeah, it freaked me out at first.” Touro said he wanted no part of having the finger snapped back into place on the spot. Touro had a follow-up doctor’s appointment Monday, and was cleared to play, though he is expecting plenty of pain, initially, when he slides his left hand into the mitt. In the meantime, his plan is to continue moving and icing the finger. Andy Honiotes, the co-ace of Geneva’s staff, was the starting pitcher Friday. Touro was supposed to start Satur-

Sycamore Speedway to be featured on silver screen Three nights before celebrating the opening of its golden anniversary season, Sycamore Speedway will appear on the silver screen in New York and Los Angeles. “At Any Price,” a father-son farming/stock car racing drama starring Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid, was filmed in part at the speedway in Maple Park. The film, which has not yet been assigned a nationwide release date, premieres on the coasts April 24. Sycamore Speedway is set to begin its 50th season of racing April 27. Speedway owner Julie Fabrizius Andrews and company welcomed the cast and crew of “At Any Price” during filming in late 2011 and 2012. The movie finished production in October, and since has made the film festival rounds, including last week’s screening at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. “We were very open to it,” Andrews said. “We didn’t really even make any money from it. We just did it for being in the film.” Director Ramin Bahrani contacted Andrews in 2011 about using the track, citing its rural midwest location. Most of the farm scenes were filmed in Iowa, where “At Any Price” is set. The premise involves a rebellious Efron aspiring to a racing career when the prospect of being a seventh-gener-

St. Charles resident Tim Ludke, the track’s defending Late Models champion, moonlighted as a stunt driver when Bahrani opted for someone with more driving experience than the regular stunt crew. Crews attached a camera to Ludke’s car and he cooperated as needed, including a rollover scene. “I never saw any of it, but from what the director and everyone were saying, it looked pretty good,” Ludke said. “Hopefully, they weren’t lying.”

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM Don’t forget to look in the backyard when you go to a yard or house sale. If the house is old, you may spot a concrete birdbath, an iron garden gnome, old tools hanging on a fence or even a log cabin playhouse. Landscaping and outdoor decorating styles have changed through the years just as styles for houses and living rooms have changed. And a modern landscape can update any house. During past centuries, trees and plantings were not placed near a house. They were far enough away to provide shade but not harm the roof. By the 1930s, a flat row of bushes, trees and other green plants were placed in a straight line against the house. Today homes have curved beds and walks, colorful flowers in the front and back yards, paved seating areas, patios, fountains and other water features. In the 1900s, Weller Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio, began to make “Gardenware.” It was not part of the company’s art pottery lines, but it has become popular with today’s collectors. Weller garden figures include a pelican, pop-eyed dog, a variety of frogs, hen and chicks, dogs, squirrels, swans, rabbits, ducks, a boy fishing and even Pan with a flute or rabbit. The figures are about 19 to 20 inches high. They

originally had a silver tone. Montereau, not Moutereau, is an area in France. It could be the name of the maker or just the place it was made. Bracelets like yours were made for the tourist trade and don’t sell for much today. Some have enameled coats of arms and sell for a little more.

*** Q: I inherited four Gothic Revival side chairs attributed to J. and J.W. Meeks. I was told they once belonged to the White House and were used in Abraham Lincoln’s Cabinet Room. How can I establish authenticity? A: It probably is impossible for you to determine that the chairs were used in the White House during Lincoln’s administration (186165). It is known that during the Polk administration (1845-49), as many as 24 black walnut Gothic Revival chairs made by J. and J.W. Meeks of New York City were purchased for the White House. Lincoln used some of the chairs in his Cabinet Room (now the “Lincoln Bedroom”). The chairs are shown in the painting, “First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln.” Four chairs are still in the White House collection. First see if your chairs match those shown in the painting, on display at the U.S. Capitol (the image can be found online). If the chairs match, at least you can say your chairs are identical to those in the White House and were made by Meeks. But without

Pan holding a rabbit is a figure made by Weller Pottery for its Gardenware line. It is a little over a foot high. Weller also made a figure of Pan with a flute, but this version with a rabbit is so rare it sold for $3,540 at Humler & Nolan in Cincinnati in December 2012.

any additional history, it’s unlikely you can ever prove the chairs were once owned by the White House. *** Q: I found a metal bracelet while using my metal detector. It may have been silver-plated at one time. It has six links that look like shields. There’s a different name on the back of each shield: Lorraine, Flandre, Normandie, Paris, Alsace and Bretagne. The word “Moutereau” is on the clasp. I would appreciate any information you can give me. A: The words on your bracelet are the names of six French provinces.

The blunt end of the blade could be used as a hammer, and the square hole could be used as a wrench for turning square nuts.

Q: We have an ax with a square hole in the blade. A small square piece with a circular hole in one end ﬁts into the square hole in the blade. The words “Bell System” are stamped on the ax. Do you know what it was used for?

A: There are several clues to spotting “fake” or reproduction piano babies or other ceramic figures. Early pottery and porcelain pieces have a smaller hole in the bottom than later reproductions. The hole let gas out so the figurine didn’t explode during firing. Older porcelain figures are heavier than newer reproductions because more clay was used to make them. Reproduction figures, made from a mold cast from an original, are smaller because the material shrinks as it cools.

HOROSCOPE By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – In coming months, you could become involved with a powerful partner in a large, complex enterprise. The chances of success look encouraging, provided you are both striving for the same goals. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Be cognizant of the odds against you when you set out to address a career situation. Don’t waste time doing it the hard way if you don’t have to, regardless of precedent. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Think twice before you stop doing something the way it’s always been done. If you leap into a new method without the proper preparation, you might be sorry. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t overpower a friend with your contrary views. If he or she isn’t interested, imposing your ideas won’t go over too well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You could have a short fuse when it comes to your tolerance for minor irritations. Try to keep everything in perspective, and remain unruffled by adversity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Unless you have something complimentary to say to co-workers, it might be best if you don’t say anything at all. Even a well-meaning criticism could open Pandora’s box. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you are too demanding, the very persons you are trying to control are likely to rebel. Treat everyone with respect. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Your behavior with outsiders is likely to be far more respectful and pleasant than it is with your mate or family. Be honest about who is to blame for any dissension. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – It’s extremely important that you stop and think before you speak, regardless to whom. You could carelessly say something difficult to retract. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’re pretty good at giving advice, but not so when it comes to following guidance. This will be especially true when it comes to resource management. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Owing to much impatience on your part, you could damage your recent headway on an important venture. Try to take things one step at a time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Basically, you’re an imaginative person, but your thinking might be more negative than positive today. Don’t allow a dark outlook to screen opportunities from your view. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t make important financial decisions without first checking with the parties involved. Someone else might know how to aid your plans.

Kristen Stewart plays Marylou, Dean Moriarty’s 16-year-old bride in “On the Road.” Dean (right) is played by Garrett Hedlund. Sam Riley (back seat) plays hipster anti-hero Sal Paradise.

‘On the Road’ honors era-defining novel By CHRIS BERGERON GateHouse News Service Like the best cross-country trips, Walter Salles’ film of Jack Kerouac’s era-defining novel “On The Road’’ meanders a bit as its two mad-for-kicks buddies race across America, chasing hot jazz and cool chicks. As American a tale as Huck Finn and Jim rafting down the Mississippi, Kerouac’s fictionalized version of himself and his soul mate and muse, Neal Cassady, sometimes veers from the fast lane to the breakdown lane before he finally realizes that boyhood, like the road, can’t go on forever. Faithful in velocity and spirit to the 1957 novel Kerouac typed on a roll of paper in three caffeine-fueled weeks, Salles propels his hipster anti-heroes Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) and Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) down lonesome highways and small town byways, searching for “it,’’ the elusive tao of ecstatic knowledge that’s just down the road. Filming a novel that became sacred writ for generations of seekers is a risky proposition that invites carpers and nitpickers. What would Jack do? Salles has come honorably close to bringing “On The Road’’ to vital life more than half a century after it unleashed the Beat Generation on conformist Eisenhower America. With some quibbles, he’s transformed

Kerouac’s lyrical novel into a picturesque travelogue of the adolescent male soul, which is where Jack lived and died. Aging hipsters and hippies in khakis and ponytails might quibble about this or that missing scene. Kids who grew up taking hard drugs during spring break in Cancun might wonder what’s the fuss. Best known in the United States for “The Motorcycle Diaries’’ about a young Che Guevara’s Latin American road trip, Salles and cinematographer Eric Gautier have captured the geographic and social topography of post-World War II America when restless young men – and some women – chased previously off-limits sex and drugs during the Cold War while Sen. Joe McCarthy was ratcheting up the paranoia. They’ve translated Kerouac’s lyrical prose and infatuation with Western landscapes into scenes of brooding beauty of railroad yards and panoramic vistas, skid row flop houses and the aching possibility of standing by the roadside with your thumb out. Salles’ boldest and most successful risk was casting Kristen Stewart – yes, of “Twilight’’ fame – as Marylou, Moriarty’s 16-year-old bride, based on LuAnne Henderson who outlived Kerouac and Cassady. While the novel mostly treats Marylou as ditzy jailbait, the lithe, sensual Stewart invests her with a vulnera-

bility that grounds the story in the 1950s and reveals significant contrasts between the impulsive, pansexual Moriarty and the cautious Catholic Kerouac. Riley lacks the real Kerouac’s physical grace and makes his Sal Paradise more of a brooder than a high school and college halfback. Playing Moriarty/Cassady, Hedlund is a revelation as a motor mouth Dionysus whose limitless energy and id set a whole generation into frantic motion. There are many minor casting coups. Viggo Mortensen is weirdly saturnine as Old Bull Lee, the stand-in for William S. Burroughs, and Kirsten Dunst conveys the imperious beauty of Cassady’s long-suffering wife. Most of all, when Hedlund, Stewart and Riley are together, grooving on jazz or smoking weed, climbing in bed or driving naked through the West, “On The Road’’ explodes with anarchic passion. In Edson Cemetery in Lowell, Kerouac’s gravestone reads “He honored life.’’ So does Salles’ movie.

• “On The Road’’ is rated R for strong sexual content, drug use and language. From the novel by Jack Kerouac; screenplay by Jose Rivera; directed by Walter Salles; starring Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Tom Sturridge, Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst.

When partner overbids, you must overplay

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Surrealist painter Salvador Dali said, “At the age of 6, I wanted to be a cook. At 7, I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.” If your partner’s ambition in the bidding carries you to heights that your cards do not justify, try to find a line of play that will justify his optimism. In today’s deal, for example, suppose North and South soar to seven spades. West leads the club king. What should South do? The first three bids in the auction are predictable (unless you have some snazzy responses to a strong, artificial and forcing two-club opening bid). Then, though, North’s actual choice of six spades would not meet with universal approval. A jump to four hearts would be popular if it were read as a splinter bid, showing some values, four-plus spades and at most a singleton heart. When North jumped to the small slam, though, South read his partner for strong trumps, so thought his four aces justified raising to the grand slam. Declarer has to assume the diamond finesse is winning. But he still needs to be careful with his entries. South should win with his club ace, cash two hearts to discard dummy’s club loser (and to reduce the undertricks should things take a nasty turn), play off the spade ace, and lead a spade to dummy’s queen. He continues with a diamond to his queen, the diamond ace, a spade to dummy’s king, and a diamond ruff. Then he can claim because dummy is high, stating that he will ruff a heart or a club to get over there.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips suggestion that she make a better effort, accept that you are not going to change her. She obviously has many good qualities or your relationship would not have made it this far. There is help for people who are disorganized and sloppy, but only if they are willing to accept that they need it. Dear Abby: I’m stuck in a deadend job that doesn’t pay much money, so I have to rely on help from my parents. I’d like to return to school for my master’s, but a lack of funds and mild depression keep pulling me back. I told my mother about how I have been feeling, hoping for reassurance – just a general, “Everything is going to get better.” This is a woman who has longed for me to get married and have children, which I thought was no different than most mothers. I now realize I was wrong. Her motivation speech was: “You have always been beautiful

and I want you to see it. Don’t you know that you’re good enough to become a rich man’s wife?” Now I realize that being a rich man’s wife is what she always wanted for me. I always thought I could be more than that and support myself without the need of a man. I also believed I could one day be a writer. My self-esteem is shot, and since I can’t afford therapy, I feel my mother’s plan is probably the only thing I can hope for. How can I improve my self-esteem so I can make the right decision? – Depressed In Lewisville, Texas Dear Depressed: A good first step would be to stop listening to your mother. Live your own life, and now that you know what poor judgment she has, make your own decisions about the path you will follow. A suggestion: Write your story down and be sure to mention how you persisted in spite of your mother’s advice. You may find inspiration in your own words. And if it’s published, so might others. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Salt in a person’s diet can be too much of a good thing Dear Doctor K: I’ve always enjoyed my food well-seasoned. Now my doctor wants me to cut down on my salt intake. Any suggestions? Dear Reader: Salt (sodium chloride) is like many other things in our food: We need it, just not in the amounts we take in. For most of us, the salt in our diet is too much of a good thing. Salt helps our nerves transmit impulses. Muscle fibers need salt to contract and relax. Sodium helps the body maintain a proper fluid balance. (Not to mention it makes our food taste good!) But it doesn’t take much sodium to accomplish any of these essential jobs. And consuming too much salt can put you at risk for high blood pressure, stroke and heart problems. How can you cut down? Start by getting a sense of where the salt in your diet comes from. I’ve put a table on my website, AskDoctorK.com, that lists the top sources of sodium in the American diet. You might be surprised by how much salt there is in certain foods. The most sodium-heavy foods we eat tend to be processed ones.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff So, minimize the amount of foods that are salted, smoked or cured, such as cold cuts, bacon and cheese. The same goes for canned soups and vegetables, mixes for baked goods and other prepared foods that are high in salt. With packaged foods you get in the market, the Nutrition Source label tells you how much salt is in the food. With canned soups, for example, you’ll find that some have a lot less than others. Replace processed foods with foods made from scratch. Eat more vegetables and fruits, which contain no added salt. You may be skeptical, but it is entirely possible to wean yourself off a taste for salt. Your taste buds can easily adapt if you cut back a little at a time. Replace salt with herbs, spices and flavorings. Experiment with garlic, oregano, rosemary, curry, cinnamon and smoked paprika. Lemon juice and flavored vinegars, and fragrant oils such

as sesame or walnut, offer a sodium-free taste boost. (But beware of store-bought sauces that tend to contain a lot of salt.) When you eat out, if your food is being made to order, ask that it be made without salt. And ask for gravies or sauces (which tend to be loaded with salt) to be served on the side. If you’re eating in a chain restaurant, it may have a menu that tells you the amount of salt (and saturated fats, cholesterol and other nutrients) in each meal. I know how hard it can be to cut down on salt. I once had a patient who arrived at the hospital in heart failure. She swore she was following her low-salt diet. As she was being wheeled to get a chest X-ray, I saw her pull a salami out of her purse and start eating it. When I asked her about it, she shrugged. “I love it, doctor,” she said. “At my age, I love it maybe more than life itself.”

could be to blame Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I are both 17 and have been dating for more than a year. He’s a great guy, and we have wonderful times together. About a week ago, his older brother, while driving his van, got into an accident where several people were injured. The newspaper said he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He was at a party and had too much to drink. Now my parents are putting pressure on me to unload my boyfriend. They assume that since his brother (who is 19) drinks and drives, so will my boyfriend. I will admit that my boyfriend does have the occasional beer, but he has never consumed alcohol and then driven a car. The father of these guys has allowed his two sons to drink beer in their house since they turned 15. He wanted them to drink at home so he could keep an eye on them rather than have them drink away from home. I think my boyfriend should be judged on what he does, not for the sins of his sibling. Do you agree? – Nameless, Ft. Walton Beach, Fla. Dear Nameless: I do agree that the sins of his brother should not reflect on your boyfriend’s character. It’s the stupidity of his father that could eventually cause problems for your boyfriend. Allowing underage children to consume alcohol at home so they won’t drink away from home is a very unwise practice. The problem of the brother can be directly linked to being allowed to consume alcohol at home. The father’s theory was obviously a

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace big flop. Never, ever ride with your boyfriend if he has been drinking. Call your parents for a ride. Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and will graduate from high school in a few months. For the past two years, I have wanted to get a tattoo of a butterfly on the back of my left shoulder. My parents didn’t want me to be tattooed, so I followed their wishes. But I told them that when I turned 18, I was going to have that butterfly. They are not happy with this decision, and this bothers me. What can I do to impress upon them that, in 2013, it’s no big deal for a girl to have a tattoo? I know it would be expensive to get a tattoo removed, but it could be removed if I wanted the butterfly to fly away. – Enid, San Bernardino, Calif. Dear Enid: I realize that tattoos are in vogue for older female teens and that many parents are not thrilled with the trend. Since you are going to get that butterfly regardless of what your parents think, assure them that it will be a single tattoo and that it will not often be seen unless you are in leisure clothes. The cost of removing a tattoo runs in the neighborhood of 10 times more than having the tattoo put on in the first place. • Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

Dear Abby: “Rita” and I have been together three years and are getting ready to make the final commitment of marriage. My problem is that she’s a slob. Rita isn’t a “hoarder,” but she does things like take the plastic off a package and drop it on the floor. (Don’t get me started on the mess she leaves in the bathroom.) I love her and would be willing to have separate bathrooms if that’s what it takes. But I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in a house that looks the way hers does right now. The thought of raising kids in that kind of atmosphere chills me. I’m no neat freak, but at least I put my trash in the wastebasket. Rita gets offended if I raise the issue. I have offered to help her clean her house, but I don’t want to nag because her mother already does, and it makes Rita respond like a defiant child. Have you any ideas about what I can do to keep our relationship – and hopefully our future – intact? – Whatever Rita Wants Dear Whatever: It appears your girlfriend wants to continue living exactly the way she is. Because she becomes defensive at the
