Ringness named general manager He served as group sales director before taking role at Kane County Chronicle

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com Jim Ringness has stepped into the role of general manager for the Kane County Chronicle.

Ringness, 52, of South Elgin, had previously served as group sales director for Shaw Media, which publishes the Kane County Chronicle. He also served as major/national advertising manager for Shaw Newspapers from March 1997 to December 2006.

He also was advertising manager for Suburban Life Publications from November 2007 to May 2011. Shaw Media bought Suburban Life Publications in October. That acquisition included three weekly newspapers in Kane County: the St. Charles Republican, the Geneva Republican and the Batavia Republican.

“I loved the role I was in, and then this opportunity made itself available,” Ringness said. “I’m excited to re-establish business relationships and business partnerships.”

In his new role, Ringness

Children practice milking a cow Saturday during Heritage Day at Peck Farm Park.

GENEVA – Five-year-old Molly Gaston wasn’t scared when she came face to face with a herd of sheep Saturday at Peck Farm Park in Geneva.

“I thought they were cute,” Molly said.

Families took in a slice of history during the park’s Heritage Days on Saturday. The farm, which dates to 1844, once supported more than 2,000 merino sheep.

Molly and her brother, 5-year-old Luke Gaston, saw sheepherding demonstrations as part of the day’s activities.

“We wanted to let them see how things used to be,” said their mother, Sue Gaston.

Donna Lehrer of Esther’s Place / Lamb of God Farm in Big Rock was showing visitors how she spins wool from the sheep raised on her farm.

“They get a feel for what it takes to get the wool ready,” Lehrer said. “We get 10 pounds of raw wool off a sheep.”

Decision day Mayoral, aldermanic races highlight full slate on the election ballot

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com The office of president of the United States is not on the ballot today.

But voters in the Tri-Cities and surrounding communities can influence directly those who vote on property taxes and who oversee street repair, school curriculum and the hiring and firing of teachers, police officers, firefighters and other public workers.

Today, voters who go to the polls will select the region’s next mayors, village presidents and school boards, city councils, village boards and other local decision-making bodies.

Among the region’s higher profile races, voters in Geneva and St. Charles will be asked today to elect a mayor.

In Geneva, three-term incumbent Mayor Kevin Burns is being challenged by hopeful Bob McQuillan.

Burns and McQuillan have clashed over city taxes and who should get credit for the city’s economic success.

In St. Charles, voters will select a mayor from a field of four candidates, as hopefuls John Rabchuk, Ray Rogina, Jotham Stein and Jake Wyatt square off in the race to replace retiring Mayor Don DeWitte.

Rabchuk believes the city should focus on using recreational opportunities to recruit businesses and make the community more attractive to younger adults.

Stein also has focused on bringing business to St. Charles. But he also believes the city should forbid future mayors from individually doing business with any vendor doing business with the city.

Rogina believes the city should enhance opportunities for the public to speak on development projects, such as the hotly debated Lexington Club project.

And Wyatt believes the city should re-examine its

fiscal health, particularly regarding its tax increment financing districts, and focus on revitalizing Charlestowne Mall.

In Sugar Grove, voters will select a new village president; longtime incumbent Sean Michels is challenged

by Village Board member Kevin Geary.

And in Kaneville, incumbent Village President Rick Peck is challenged by board member Pat Hill.

But executive positions are not the only races on the ballot.

In St. Charles, voters will select aldermen in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th wards. Incumbent Jon Monken will face challengers Justin Osborne and Ron Silkaitis in the 1st Ward; 2nd Ward incumbent Cliff Carrignan will

face Art Lemke; 3rd Ward incumbent Bill Turner will face Mario VanDerHeyden; and, in the 5th Ward, incumbent Maureen Lewis is campaigning against challenger Kim Malay.

In Geneva, voters will select a new alderman in Geneva’s 1st Ward between candidates Zac Ploppert and Mike Bruno.

In Batavia, voters will choose aldermen in three contested races. Incumbent James Volk faces challenger Jamie Saam in the 4th Ward; incumbent Eldon Frydendall and challenger Steve Vasilion face off in the 5th Ward; and incumbent Robert Liva is challenged by Nick Cerone and Ron Rechenmacher in the 6th Ward.

Outside the Tri-Cities, voters will select village

board representatives in Elburn, Campton Hills, Maple Park, North Aurora, Sugar Grove and Kaneville.

While cities and villages may generate a lot of interest, no other local taxing body influences a property tax bill as heavily as public school districts.

In St. Charles School District 303, voters will select from among eight candidates for four seats on the school board. Incumbents Steve Spurling, Jim Gaffney, Mike Vyzral and Corinne Pierog are challenged by Jim Conro, Nancy Muzzey, Rick Leidig and Edward McNally.

Voters in Geneva School District 304 also must select four school board members from among eight candidates. Incumbent board President Mark Grosso and incumbent member William Wilson face off with challengers Leslie Juby, David Lamb, Daniel Garrett, Jeff DiOrio, Fred Dresser and Robert Cabeen.

And in Batavia School District 101, only one incumbent board member, Tina Bleakley, is seeking election.

She is running against candidates Jonathan Gaspar, Garrick Grizaffi, Jim Karner, Susan Locke, Michael Papka and Jason Stoops, in the race for four seats on the board.

In Kaneland School District 302, only two candidates, incumbent board President Cheryl Krauspe and candidate Pedro Rivas, placed their names on the ballot for three open seats.

Voters also may cast a writein ballot for declared writein candidate Veronica Bruhl of Elburn.

In addition, voters throughout the area will be asked to select trustees to serve on the boards at Waubonsee Community College and Elgin Community College.

And voters will select those to represent them in township governments, park districts, fire protection districts and library districts.

Parents protest moving 16 students

Geneva nixes K12 virtual charter school

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Half a dozen parents of Williamsburg students held signs up during the Geneva School District 304 meeting Monday, while others addressed the board, protesting a recommendation to move 16 students to Western Avenue.

The parents live in Batavia Highlands, a subdivision in the city of Batavia but a part of District 304. Batavia Highlands is near East Fabyan Parkway and Route 25 on Batavia’s northern edge.

A task force recently recommended a boundary change that would move 16 Batavia Highlands students to Western Avenue in an effort to save money on transportation costs.

The parents blocked a similar proposed boundary change five years ago.

“We feel it’s personal,” said Heather Anderson, who has a kindergartner and second-grader at Williamsburg.

“My 8-year-old goes to bed crying every night. ... Somebody has to give some answers. ... Is it personal because we live in Batavia?”

Michelle Burgwaldt, also a Batavia Highlands parent, challenged the recommendation.

“Nine are the youngest children in the family,” Burgwaldt said. “You can’t tell me there is savings.”

Burgwaldt also complained that despite sending several letters to the board, she had not received any responses.

Board President Mark Grosso said he had just sent an email reply. Burgwaldt said she did not see it when she checked before the meeting, but she would look again.

Kelli Trajo brought her daughter, Kya, who attends third grade at Williamsburg.

“Kya loves everything about Williamsburg,” Trajo said. “We have written a number of letters – all of us together – we have not yet received a response yet, not even a confirmation of receipt.”

GENEVA

Church seeks special use

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Fox Valley Presbyterian Church on Geneva’s east side is seeking a special-use permit to expand its church.

The Geneva Plan Commission has scheduled a public hearing on the request at 7 p.m. Thursday at the council chambers, 109 James St., Geneva.

According to its application, the church, at 227 East Side Drive, proposes to demolish its existing 6,280 square foot, one-story education area and build a 10,480 square foot, one-story addition in its place, a net gain of 4,200 square feet.

The new building would include space for religious

and preschool education and food preparation, but it would not increase the sanctuary’s seating capacity of 406.

Although religions institutions are permitted in a residential district by special use, Fox Valley Presbyterian is considered a nonconforming use. The city’s zoning ordinance does not allow a nonconforming use to expand – which is why the church is requesting a special-use permit.

The permit would bring the existing church into conformity and allow expansion.

According to a staff review, the church’s request is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan and it will not diminish the value or use of nearby properties.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Geneva School District 304 board voted unanimously Monday to deny a request from K12 and the board of the nonprofit Virtual Learning Solutions to establish a virtual charter school program.

“We are not against online learning,” board member Mary Stith said. “We need to be reassured a little bit more.”

“We have concerns and need feedback,” board President Mark Grosso said.

President of Virtual Learning Solutions Sharnell Jackson said she would appeal the denial to the state charter school commission.

About a dozen representatives of K12 and Virtual Learning Solutions presented an overview of how their program would work, a far cry from when the district held its hearing last month and no one

attended.

Charter schools receive money from local districts for each student that attends. K12 estimated it would get $8,000 for each student among the 18 districts to which it applied.

The nonprofit filed notices with 18 school districts that it wanted to form a single, shared charter. If one board votes to deny the charter, officials said they will appeal to the state charter commission.

Jackson explained that they formed to respond to interest from the public on creating a virtual charter school.

The nonprofit’s board members, Jackson said, “are not compensated for their service in any way, shape or form.”

K12 teacher Leah Rodgers, Margaret Jorgensen, the chief academic officer, and Randall Greenway, vice president of school development for K12, all vouched for the program’s academic rigor and service to students.

“They take the same tests as all public school students take,” Greenway said.

“K12 is a research-based organization,” Jorgensen said.

“All our policies and plans are driven by data. If they work for students, we use them. If they don’t work, we move on.”

But board members questioned how they handled their charter applications and responsiveness to local school districts.

“You formed your charter in January, then it was rush, rush, rush,” board member Mary Stith said.

Stith said she attended other district’s public hearings, noting the K12 representatives could not answer most of the questions put to them.

“You did a disservice to all these boards,” Stith said. “You did not have enough people [at the hearings]. That is a big red flag for me ... I can’t support it when I don’t think it was thought through.”

Board to vote on online charter school proposal KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The Batavia School District 101 board is set to vote at 6 p.m. today on a proposal to create an online charter school.

Virtual Learning Solutions, a nonprofit group, is seeking to create the Illinois

As proposed, Illinois Virtual Charter School would serve 18 Fox Valley school districts, including District 101.

By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Kaneland School District 302 board officials Monday voted against a charter school proposal by the Illinois Virtual School at Fox River Valley, citing that several statutory components of the proposal had not been met.

Virtual Learning Solutions, a nonprofit group, had been seeking to create the Illinois Virtual Charter School at Fox River Valley, which would have opened this fall. The company aimed to contract with K12 Inc., a for-profit company, to provide the online instruction.

Kaneland is one of 18 school districts in five counties that had been asked to vote on an online charter school proposal

by Virtual Learning Solutions.

The board voted unanimously to deny the proposal,

which Superintendent Jeff Schuler said failed to provide evidence that the organization had a way of evaluating pupil performance and that the proposal is economically sound.

He said of the 15 statutory requirements, two requirements were not applicable, and all but one requirement – that the word “charter” be in the name – was met.

He said the board had a chance to ask a K12 representative questions at a March 18 hearing, but few of their questions were answered. He said the board did not have the majority of those answers until about 11 p.m. Thursday, when Virtual Learning Solutions sent out a 1,100-page document that was supposed to address those questions, but Schuler said it didn’t appear to be organized in any sort of fashion.

“I couldn’t tell you with certainty if Kaneland’s questions were answered,” he told the

board Monday.

Schuler told the board that the school district’s attorney had helped determine that the proposal fell short on providing sufficient admission criteria and failed to identify the number of students that could be enrolled.

He said while the school is virtual, statute still required the organization to set up at least two potential meeting sites for some of the face-toface components of the virtual schools, such as field trips and parent-teacher meetings.

The proposal also failed to cite sufficient community involvement and support. One meeting document states, “To date, all community comments received have not been supportive of the charter school proposal.”

“I don’t think our board saw communitywide support for virtual schools,” Schuler said.

ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles School District 303 board Monday unanimously denied a virtual school proposal from Illinois Virtual Learning Solutions.

“I don’t know how any [students] would be better served by this program,” Vice President Kathy Hewell said.

Virtual Learning Solutions, a nonprofit formed in February, wants to open the Illinois Virtual Charter School at Fox River Valley.

It was seeking approval from 18 school districts in Kane, DeKalb, DuPage, Kendall and Will counties to enroll their students.

While the nonprofit would govern the school, it has said day-to-day administrative and curriculum responsibilities would be handled by K12 Inc., a Virginia company.

The virtual school would receive funding from the local districts.

A K12 representative spoke to the school board last month, but members on Monday said they still had unanswered questions, even after Virtual Learning Solutions submitted a 1,080-page document late Thursday.

Hewell described the information as “just stuff,” adding she didn’t see specific answers

to the district’s questions.

And the questions didn’t seem out of line, board President Steve Spurling said.

Corinne Pierog said she was troubled by the influence K12 has on virtual charter schools. She also was bothered that little of the funding would support curriculum. She said she will not support a school or institution that takes advantage of district parents.

“They’re looking to line their own pockets,” member Mike Vyzral said.

If the organization was serious about the charter school, Vyzral said, it would have sent more than one person to pitch the idea to the board.

Board members also noted they received no emails in support of the proposed school.

Superintendent Don Schlomann said the district will submit a document to the state that outlines the administration’s and board’s reasons. He said the resolution approved Monday states that the proposal doesn’t comply with state law, and the proposed school wouldn’t be in the best interests of the students it is designed to serve.

Virtual Learning Solutions has said it plans to appeal denials to the Illinois Charter School Commission as applicable.

Bar gets 3-day liquor license suspension

By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – A downtown St. Charles bar on Monday got a three-day liquor license suspension, not for liquor violations – it must pay fines and costs for those – but for treatment of police officers.

The House Pub, 16 S. Riverside Ave., must pay $500 in fines and $500 in costs for permitting an intoxicated person to loiter on the premises and

serving liquor to an intoxicated person.

The fine was reduced from $1,500, but Mayor and Liquor Commissioner Don DeWitte would not negotiate on the three-day suspension set for 7 a.m. April 22 to 2 a.m. April 25.

That, he said, was solely based on the treatment of police, which he described as belligerent and aggressive.

“It will not be tolerated,” DeWitte said.

According to a St. Charles

police report, the House Pub on March 15 granted entry to a visibly intoxicated man – police reported seeing him stumble outside – and served him alcohol.

The officer followed the man inside and was later approached by bar ownership, who reportedly argued with police, yelled at police – often with obscenities – and ordered police to leave.

Tom Wojcik and Stephen Erd of the House Pub attended

Monday’s hearing.

Wojcik said they try to keep a clean record, welcome police presence and work with the police chief and mayor.

“We would never put our bar in jeopardy,” Wojcik said.

“Ever.”

In this case, he disputed the customer was drunk, questioned the timeline of events and asked why didn’t police stop the man on the street if he was so inebriated.

“I don’t think the police

officers were setting you up to try to catch you,” DeWitte said.

This was the third downtown bar in recent weeks to be summoned before the St. Charles Liquor Commission.

Last month, Alibi Bar and Grill, 12 N. Third St., had its liquor license suspended for three days and was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine. Also in March, the Beehive Tavern and Grille, 204 W. Main St., received a $2,000 fine.

Caribou Coffee to close, re-brand stores

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com One local coffeehouse will close and another will be re-branded after a decision by the owners of the Caribou Coffee chain to end Caribou’s presence in the Chicago market.

Monday, employees at the Caribou store in Dodson Place on Third Street in Geneva said that store will remain open, and will be re-branded as a Peet’s Coffee and Tea “in the next 12 to 18 months.”

However, an employee who answered the phone at the Caribou store at Randall Road and McKee Street in Batavia said that store will be among dozens of Chicago area stores the company said it intends to close.

Late last week, Minneapolis-based Caribou informed its workers that it intended to close dozens of stores in its service area, with many of the closures coming to stores in the Chicago area.

Those stores are scheduled to close at noon Sunday. The

closures were expected to result in hundreds of workers losing jobs chainwide.

The company Monday publicly confirmed the news, indicating only a handful of stores in the Chicago area would remain open until they can be re-branded under the name of Peet’s Coffee.

Peet’s Coffee and Tea, with corporate headquarters in San Francisco, operates stores throughout California, and in Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Massachusetts.

BATAVIA – Batavia resident Pat Hirschtick said spending $117,000 on a proposed arch to North River Street is a waste of money.

“There are so many people hurting right now,” she said.

“Why don’t they give it back to the taxpayers?”

Hirschtick was among about 25 people Saturday who were protesting the Batavia City Council’s recent decision to build the arch, estimated to cost between $112,000 and $117,000. The protest was at the corner of River and Wilson streets in downtown Batavia, where the arch would be built.

Batavia resident Dan Anderson held up a sign that sim-

ply said, “No.” “It’s a lot of money,” Anderson said. “That’s my opinion.

We don’t have to spend the money just because we have it.”

The arch, planned as part of the North River Street streetscape project, originally was expected to cost about $50,000.

As part of the project, North River Street has been transformed into a curbless street in which pedestrians have priority over cars.

Batavia resident Sylvia Keppel, who helped organize the protest, said she wanted to get people’s attention.

“It is ridiculous to pay $117,000 for an arch,” she said.

The protest got the attention of Batavia 3rd Ward Alderman Dan Chanzit, who

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Shrinking defense THE WASHINGTON POST When he was asked in 2011 about the possible impact of the sequestration on defense, Chuck Hagel breezily replied that the Pentagon was “bloated” and “needs to be pared down.”

In his first major speech as defense secretary on Wednesday, Hagel’s assessment was considerably more sober. The $41 billion cut the department is taking this year, he said, “is already having a disruptive and potentially damaging impact on the readiness of the force.”

He added that he would not “assume or tacitly accept” that “these cuts can be accommodated without a significant reduction in military capabilities.”

Still, Hagel is looking at the possibility of a major new drop in defense spending as an opportunity. The pressure of forced cuts, he said in his speech at the National Defense University, could help to “fundamentally reshape the defense enterprise to better reflect 21st-century realities.”

He is right, up to a point.

In his address, Hagel identified some broad areas for savings – categories that come as no surprise to anyone who has studied recent defense budgets. Military pay and benefits and accelerating costs for weapons systems, Hagel said, are threatening to turn the Pentagon into “an agency administering benefit programs, capable of buying only limited quantities of irrelevant and overpriced equipment.”

The Tricare health program has grown in cost from $19 billion in fiscal 2001 to $53 billion in fiscal

2012, while the budget’s biggest line item is the nearly $400 billion F-35 program, which is 70 percent over its initial cost estimate.

Like former Secretary Robert M. Gates, Hagel believes the Pentagon’s “fourth estate” of officers and bureaucrats in the secretary of defense’s office and combatant commands could be trimmed; that some jobs being performed by military personnel could be transferred to civilians; and that unneeded bases could be shut.

The problem, of course, is persuading the services or Congress to accept such restructuring. Following his rocky confirmation process, it’s hard to be optimistic about Hagel’s chances of finding allies in a polarized Congress for eliminating National Guard depots or cutting benefits for veterans. As he himself put it, “it could turn out that making dramatic changes ... could prove unwise, untenable or politically impossible.”

The danger here is not merely that Hagel will fail to accomplish far-reaching reform. It’s that, having failed to do so, he will bring down spending with cuts that are more easily accomplished but far more damaging to national security. The sequestration is already forcing worrisome reductions in training, the grounding of air fleets and the cancellation of ship deployments, not to mention a demoralizing furlough of civilian workers.

We wish Hagel luck in his effort to restructure the Pentagon. But we also hope that he and the president are working on a backup strategy to preserve vital U.S. defense functions.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Citizens United and a Constitution To the Editor: In 2010, a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States interpreted the Constitution as saying that corporations are people and – with personhood – money is speech. As a result, corporations, unions and the very wealthy are now able to give unlimited, unaccountable and anonymous contributions to Super PACs to influence the outcome of their chosen candidate’s election – at the local and federal levels.

How will we be able to trust the political process in our elections when the voice is big money? Will we ever be able to see fair, democratic elections again? How will fair-minded candidates be able to afford to run for an elected position when the wealthy and corporations

are paying big money to get their candidates elected?

The solution is to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision called Citizens United with a constitutional amendment. The Illinois legislature can help by passing a resolution for Illinois. Such a resolution, SJR0027, has been introduced to the Illinois Senate. And, to date, municipalities in Illinois – from Chicago to Carbondale to Kane County – have already passed their resolutions by an overwhelming majority. So far, 11 states have passed supporting measures: New Mexico, Hawaii, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maryland, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Montana, Colorado and New Jersey. And the New Hampshire House approved a resolution late last month. Let’s make Illinois number 13!

There is a growing movement in Illinois asking our Illinois

house and senate members to sign a resolution asking Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution that will rid our country of all Supreme Court decisions that give corporations, unions and the wealthy undue influence. Please contact your Illinois state senator and representative (if you don’t know who your legislator is, visit the Illinois State Board of Elections website and search for “District/ Official Search”) and tell them to support a resolution in Illinois that calls to amend the federal Constitution to say that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights. We do not want to live in a country where our democracy has been hijacked by the wealthy and powerful!

He began 2012 with the Cubs before pulling his groin and rehabbing in the minors before a late-season return. A year later, he finds himself with the Cubs’ Class-A affiliate, honing his delivery and offering his acumen.

Castillo did both in the Cougars’ 6-5, 10-inning victory against Clinton, kick-starting what he hopes is a lasting

climb to the top of the organization.

“I’m down here to work on my pitches, getting better every day,” Castillo said.

“And hopefully soon, [I’ll be] up there [in Chicago].”

Castillo, who celebrated his 24th birthday Monday, was in line for the victory before Clinton (2-3) rallied late against reliever Justin Amlung. Castillo worked effectively with his slider down in the zone while spacing three hits, one earned run, two walks and four strikeouts in five innings.

“I feel pretty healthy now,” he said.

“I’m working so hard to be healthy.”

Trailing, 5-1, entering the eighth, the LumberKings struck for two runs each in the eighth and ninth, including home runs from Guillermo Pimentel and Taylor Ard. With Kane County (1-4) unable to respond – consecutive strikeouts from

middle-of-the-order threats Dan Vogelbach and Jeimer Candelario with two on ended the ninth – the Cougars braced for their third successive extra-inning game.

Right fielder Bijan Rademacher ended the club’s season-opening skid when he smacked a Blake Hauser changeup to center field with two outs in the 10th, scoring Rock Shoulders to cap a 13-hit attack.

Catcher Chadd Krist and Rademacher (three RBIs) both had three hits, while Shoulders and Pin-Chieh Cheng went 2 for 5. Vogelbach drove in two runs.

“Those past two games going into extra innings, it really helped us out. It kind of motivated us,” Rademacher said.

“I know me personally, I didn’t want to be standing out there another two, three innings, however long this game would have went on. I wanted to end it now.”

See COUGARS, page 14

Sight seen Or heard. Those assembled witnessed a rare national anthem recording, with the public address system playing the late Whitney Houston’s rendition from Super Bowl XXV in 1991.

Cubs brass will be excited because Right-hander Lendy Castillo shined in a six-inning no-decision, limiting Clinton to three hits and one run.

Cubs brass will cringe because Fans could see the big league future, er, present, in the eighth and ninth innings.

The closer Go, Cubs Class-A affiliate, go.

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles East senior Matt Starai might look like he’s come out of nowhere to baseball teams in the area.

Not so, says Saints coach Len Asquini. Asquini said Starai’s sizzling start is more about opportunity than any drastic improvement since last season, when he was a bit-player on East’s pitching staff.

Starai notched a six-inning shutout Monday as the Saints finished off Upstate Eight Conference crossover opponent Waubonsie Valley, 10-0, with a five-run sixth inning.

Starai has three of the five wins for the Saints (5-4, 3-1 UEC River) on the young season.

“We knew he had good stuff,” Asquini said. “Last year, he just didn’t get enough innings. There weren’t enough innings in the day to get him some time. … We knew he had good enough stuff last year to contribute.

We’re real excited for him this

year that it’s really working out well for him right now.

We’ve got a long way to go.”

Starai, who improved to 3-0 with the win, was slowed early last season by a sprained wrist, and wound up slotting into the bullpen on a deep East pitching staff.

East has a legitimate ace in southpaw Nick Huskisson but Starai is showing there isn’t much of a Matt Starai drop-off when he takes the mound.

“I feel like we’re a good 1-2,” Starai said. “We’re both really good. Neither one of us is heads-and-tails over the other. Some days he’s better, some days I’m better, but I feel like we work good together. We want the best for each other.”

Starai pops the mitt in the mid-80s, and also is able to spot a quality curveball and cutter. He fanned nine Warriors in his six innings and allowed only three hits, all singles.

“I think his pitch totals those last three innings – 11, nine seven, something like that – I mean, that’s outstanding,” Asquini said.

While Asquini contends Starai had the skill set to be a key piece of East’s pitching staff last year, Starai said a serious offseason commitment accounts for much of his current success.

“I worked a lot every day – mechanics, long toss, locating,” Starai said. “I had pretty good breaking balls before this but I struggled to locate them, so I really worked on locating them and building arm strength.”

Monday’s game was scoreless until the Saints produced a three-run, third inning off Waubonsie lefty Troy Fumagalli.

The Saints had four straight hits to start the inning, including consecutive doubles by No. 9 hitter Adam Rojas and leadoff hitter Jack Dellostritto.

East closed the game with a five-run sixth, culminating with a game-ending, two-run single by Huskisson.

Castillo made MLB debut last year • COUGARS Continued from page 13 Castillo admitted few nerves after watching the final innings, calling the late bullpen struggles part of a game in which “Anything can happen.”

He would know.

A converted infielder acquired by the Cubs as a Rule 5 draft pick from the Philadelphia Phillies organization in December 2011, Castillo made his major league debut April 9, 2012, and finished with 13 appearances for the Cubs, compling a 7.88 ERA while striking out 13 in 16 innings.

He also pitched for the Cubs’ Rookie, Advanced-A and Double-A affiliates, a journey that inspires many in the clubhouse to pick Castillo’s experienced brain.

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

The Cougars’ Chadd Krist is congratulated by teammates after scoring a run during Monday’s game against the Clinton LumberKings.

Krist and righty Pierce Johnson both called Castillo “really smart.” For pitching coach Ron Villone, that’s a good base.

“I think more than mastering is just accepting that pitching is a craft. You’ve got to put time in. You’ve got to

be able to watch. You’ve got to be able to listen, “Villone said. “There’s a lot of things ... but we’re going slow with everybody here. We’re not throwing too much at them at once. Talent is going to speak a whole lot better than coaching, and he’s got talent.”

Waubonsie (3-5, 2-2 UEC Valley) squandered scoring chances in the first two innings before going meekly in the late stages.

“We’re two different teams,” Warriors coach Dan Fezzuoglio said. “And today, we were not the team that we want to be.”

The Saints also have shown the penchant to play at drastically varying levels, though Rojas thinks East has been on an upward trajectory in recent games.

“The first couple games, we couldn’t finish the game,” Rojas said. “In the seventh inning, we just kind of broke down, weren’t really focused.

But now we’re starting to focus more throughout the game. We’re starting to make plays in the seventh inning, and this game, we got to finish early, which is good.”

Designated hitter Brian Sobieski went 2 for 3 with two RBIs for East while speedy right fielder Brannon Barry (2 for 2, double, walk) and left fielder Joe Hoscheit (three walks) also helped stir the Saints’ offense.

Barney could be Geneva-bound Cubs’ second baseman Darwin Barney is expected to have the stitches removed from his left knee later this week. Barney landed on the 15-day disabled list after he received five stitches to close a deep Darwin Barney cut, which occurred when he chased down a foul ball in the Cubs’ final spring training game.

Once the stiches are removed, Barney will go on a rehab assignment. When asked if that rehab will be in Kane County, Barney said “that’s the plan.”

A 1981 Kaneland alumnus, Jahns frequently sparred with athletes in the Knights’ mat room and served as a coach in the Kaneland youth program for 18 seasons before shifting to high school.

This past season, he left certain handson duties to assistant Jeremy Kenny, who tangled with Monty Jahns feisty senior Dan Goress, the eventual 2A state champion at 145 pounds.

In 2012, Goress joined three teammates to comprise the Knights’ largest state-bound contingent since the IHSA expanded the two-class system in the mid-2000s. Jahns called presiding over Goress’ 2013 run “like icing on the cake.”

QUICK READ Kevin Druley “It was every coach’s dream. If you haven’t been there before, then the grand march and the final is just incredible,” Jahns said. “To have Dan go out and win the tournament on top of being in the top two [and participating in the march] it was unbelievable. … That’s what you shoot for, is the top, and we were lucky enough to have Dan put in the effort and be able to get there.”

Jahns said he was not asked to consult the Kaneland athletic department on a new hire. Kenny and Scott Brewer – whose 1993 state title preceded Goress’ – are former Knights athletes on the staff.

Get your roll on: Bob Johnson of Aurora may carry a common name, but his superior bowling established him as a luminary at St. Charles Bowl two weeks ago.

Johnson rolled an 833 series during March 25 Monday Nite Mixed league play to set a new house record, delivering on a hunch by selecting a certain 15-pound bowling ball among his collection of four.

“The day before, I used this other ball, and I didn’t bowl the greatest or whatever, so I’m like, ‘Oh, I’ll switch it up and use this ball I haven’t used in quite awhile,’ ” Johnson said. “I used it up and it worked great.”

In order, Johnson scored a 288, 289 and 256 while collecting 31 of a possible 36 strikes.

He felt comfortable navigating what he called a “medium” layer of lane oil to surpass

John Lee’s former series record of 830, set Oct. 3, 2007.

Johnson recorded strikes in the first 10 frames of his opening two games before leaving the 10-pin both times.

A small crowd gradually gathered as the night progressed.

“People kind of stood back and just watched him.

They knew he didn’t have a 300 game going, so a lot of people weren’t really tuned into it, but some of them were standing back watching, pretty amazed,” St. Charles Bowl manager Toni McGarry said.

“Because that is a nice series.”

BASEBALL: NEUQUA VALLEY 7, BATAVIA 5

Neuqua Valley hands Batavia 1st defeat of season

By AKEEM GLASPIE editorial@kcchronicle.com BATAVIA – The Neuqua Valley baseball team used scoring outbursts in the first and the fifth innings to hold off a seventh-inning rally from Batavia and gave the Bulldogs their first loss of the season, 7-5, in an Upstate Eight Conference crossover Monday.

Neuqua Valley (7-3, 4-1 UEC Valley) started the game by scoring two runs in the first off Bulldogs starting pitcher Emilio Tenuta. The runs came off an RBI double by shortstop Matt Wollnik, who later came around to score on a single by catcher Alex Wolanski.

Neuqua added another run in the top of the fourth before the Bulldogs (8-1, 3-1 UEC River) started a rally of their own.

The scoring started in the bottom of the fourth when Andrew Siegler grounded to the first baseman and scored Luke Horton from third. Then, with one out, catcher Dino Simon-

“Once they scored in the fifth, we were kind of dead for the next few innings, then we just battled back.”

Laren Eustace, Batavia outielder celli added an RBI single and later scored on a sacrifice fly to the second baseman, who made a diving, over-the-shoulder catch.

Batavia coach Matt Holm said his team showed resiliency as they responded to an early 3-0 deficit to tie the game at 3.

“If they would have added to that [lead] right away and had a bigger inning I think we would [have felt] a lot more pressure,” Holm said. “What I was worried about more was the response to that. I feel like Tenuta did a nice job to get himself out of a couple situations after that and didn’t get backed into a corner.”

But the Wildcats used timely hitting late in the game to regain the lead in the fifth

with four runs off lefty reliever Jacob Piechota (2-1).

Tenuta gave up three runs in 4⅓ innings. After Piechota retired the first batter he faced, the Wildcats strung together five straight hits with the final blow coming from third baseman Drew Sterioti, who plated two with a single.

Trailing 7-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh, the Bulldogs started to mount a comeback.

After Colby Green reached on an error by the second baseman, Green scored from first on a triple off pitcher Matt Butler by outfielder Laren Eustace. Reliever Cody Coll came in and allowed Eustace to score on a sacrifice fly from Billy Zwick before striking out Robbie Bowman to

end the game, getting his first save of the season.

Wildcats starter Johathan Vik scattered five hits and allowed three earned runs in six innings to pick up the win.

Neuqua Valley coach Robin Renner said his veteran hitters battled in the sixth to give his team the lead.

“The momentum after they scored the three runs was clearly in their dugout … but we talked about the really good at-bats that we put together in the fifth inning,” Renner said. “We have three, four seniors … that’s what they were supposed to do, and they did it. It doesn’t always happen like that but we got it

done today.”

Neuqua outfielder Josh Piotrowski went 4 for 4, while Batavia’s Eustace and Zwick had two hits each.

Eustace said the seventh inning rally showed the heart of his team.

“Once they scored in the fifth, we were kind of dead for the next few innings, then we just battled back,” Eustace said. “We never gave up, we were always in the ballgame.

That’s a good thing because if you’re always in the ballgame you’re going to win a lot of games.”

Batavia returns to action on the road today against Metea Valley.

Kaneland developed into a renowned wrestling program a few years after Monty Jahns graduated. The trend continued when he joined his alma mater as an assistant and hardly slinked when Jahns took over as coach in 2008.

It’s that continuity that leaves Jahns most at peace about his recent decision to leave the program. Citing an increased workload at his day job at Nicor Gas, Jahns announced his plans at the team banquet in early March and confirmed them Monday.

“I really enjoy wrestling, and I wish I could remain there as head coach, but it’s not the career that pays the bills,” Jahns said. “I know I’m going to stay involved in some capacity, I just don’t know what that can be right now. I truly enjoyed every bit of it.

I’d do it all over again.”

SOFTBALL: ST. CHARLES NORTH 4, YORK 1

Roggemann’s debut a beauty for North

By IAN MATTHEWS editorial@kcchronicle.com ELMHURST – The St. Charles North softball team has been searching for consistency in the pitching circle in the early part of its season.

A recent three-game losing streak – including a doubleheader sweep at the hands of New Trier on Saturday – forced North coach Tom Poulin’s hand to look elsewhere after a tough couple of losses where North Star pitchers had trouble with control.

Katie Roggemann became the answer the North Stars were looking for Monday as the junior pitcher helped North snap its three-game skid with a complete game effort in a 4-1 win against host York.

Not only did Roggemann help North (5-3) get back on track, she did it in her first varsity start.

Roggemann spent the first couple of games of the season with the junior varsity before Poulin made the call.

Roggemann responded with seven innings of twohit ball, escaping jams in the first, sixth and seventh to claim the win.

“I was really nervous but they were all really supportive of me,” Roggemann said.

“I was able to hit my locations and if it wasn’t working, I was able to go somewhere else. My team backed me up and they were a huge part of helping me out through this.”

Roggemann had help from her battery-mate, Emily Brodner, who was able to slow the game down for the junior right-hander from the start.

“I think she was a little nervous for her first varsity game but I think she did a really good job,” Brodner said.

“After last weekend and with Sabrina [Rabin] being out this game, I think this was a big lift to know we have other pitchers and back-up in case something happens.”

Rabin was held out of Sat-

urday’s losses against New Trier and Monday’s game against York because of a minor shin injury.

Rabin’s injury forced North to look elsewhere for outs.

The game did not start well as York lead-off hitter Angela Scalzitti reached on an infield slap-single and came around to score on an error that gave the Dukes a 1-0 lead.

The North Stars responded in the second as Brodner reached on a walk – one of three on the day for the catcher – and scored on an error to tie the game at 1.

Roggemann was in complete control thereafter as North scored what turned out to be the game-winning run in the third on an RBI single from Abby Howlett.

Pinch-runner Amanda James scored a pitch later, sliding under the tag of York catcher Sarah Milikowski to push the lead to 3-1.

Erin Nemitz added an RBI single in the fifth for the final run. North stranded 10 runners on the day after walking nine times against York starter Elena Schwartz.

“Pitching and defense was the difference today because we didn’t hit real well,” Poulin said. “We liked what we say today defensively because we’ve been kicking the ball around against good teams. We’ll continue to be aggressive on the basepaths and hit a lot better than we did today.”

Despite leaving 10 runners on base, Poulin was clearly more excited about Roggemann’s performance.

“That makes us ecstatic because we need to develop depth behind Sabrina in the circle and this is the start for that,” Poulin said. “First start for Katie at the varsity level, and she exceeded our high expectations.”

Howlett finished 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI as North managed just five hits.

Rabin is expected to make her return to the circle today against Metea Valley.

par field conditions. When Kaneland resumes action, Aversa will be looking for progress offensively.

Aversa said Josh Cohrs, Dan Miller and Matt Limbrunner have hit solidly so far but, beyond that trio, the offense has been unreliable, hence a 3-6 start to the season for the Knights.

“We’re just trying to get the guys to focus on their approaches when they go to the plate,” Aversa said.

“We’re really struggling with that early. We haven’t had the same lineup out there yet as far as the batting order goes.”

Super power Neuqua Valley is a peren-

nial Upstate Eight Conference powerhouse, and the Wildcats flexed their muscles with recent UEC crossover wins against St. Charles North and Geneva.

Vikings coach Matt Hahn said it’s little surprise Neuqua Valley is such a force.

“When you’re pulling from 5,000 kids. … I always joke about this, you could combine us and St. Charles North, we’d be a pretty darn good team, and we’d still be smaller than them,” Hahn said. “Whatever.”

Looking ahead Batavia hopes its superb start to the season will translate to UEC River play,

and the Bulldogs will be tested right off the bat.

Defending UEC River champion St. Charles East will be the Bulldogs’ first UEC River opponent in a three-game series beginning a week from today in St. Charles.

Before turning their attention to the Saints, Batavia – which was unbeaten entering Monday’s game against Neuqua Valley – has remaining UEC crossovers this week against Metea Valley, Lake Park and South Elgin, and a nonconference matchup Saturday against West Aurora.

Death, high taxes and the St. Charles North baseball team winning 20-plus games a season are three certainties of life around the Tri-Cities, right?

The North Stars have taken some lumps in the first few weeks of the season, and are going to need to raise their game a few notches to compete with the likes of Batavia, Geneva and St. Charles East in the UEC River this season.

The younger brother of former Kaneland baseball standout Bobby Thorson is starting to make his own mark with the Knights.

Curtis Thorson, a junior right-hander, has made a strong early impression on coach Brian Aversa, most recently by shutting out Sterling, 1-0, in Saturday’s Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover.

“When he’s on, he’s not hittable, and when he’s off, he’s just a little bit hittable, so it’s not like he’s going to give up seven, 10 runs or something like that,” Aversa said.

Thorson has seen action in limited duty early this season, but Aversa said Saturday was the first time he had the chance to work deep into a game. Thorson anchored the Kaneland sophomore team’s pitching staff last season.

Thorson’s older brother, Bobby Thorson, was a hard-throwing right-hander for the Knights’ 2011 IHSA Class 3A state championship team.

Also a prolific slugger, Bobby Thorson is a sophomore at Elgin Community College who already has signed to move on to the Division I ranks next year at Campbell (N.C.).

Curtis Thorson, meanwhile, is “more of a finesse pitcher,” Aversa said.

“He’s going to pick you apart,” Aversa said. “He’s going to find your weakness, and he’s going to exploit it.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Sullivan, St. Francis baseball knock off Marmion KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE WHEATON – St. Francis pitcher Jason Sullivan shined throughout Monday’s Suburban Christian Conference victory against Marmion, throwing a complete game while going 3 for 4 at the plate in the Spartans’ 5-2 win.

Boos greeted Marmol as soon as the Cubs’ public address announcer called attention to the right-hander walking toward the mound to pitch the eighth inning. Although he allowed a leadoff double to Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun, he worked around the trouble.

Marmol struck out two of the next four hitters and did not allow a run for the first time in four outings.

Marmol’s performance gave the Cubs a chance to pull off a ninth-inning comeback, though they fell short in the 7-4 loss.

“I’ve got good teammates, and they’ve got my back,” Marmol said. “I think our relationship has been very good

this year.”

Manager Dale Sveum defended Marmol and said he threw OK against Milwaukee.

Marmol relied on his slider more frequently, and it resulted in a threepitch strikeout against Rickie Weeks. He also must get used to Monday’s experience.

Carlos Marmol Sveum said he will be used primarily when the Cubs are losing.

“You’re with these guys every day and you know what they are behind the scenes and the adversity they have to go through,” Sveum said. “On Opening Day, to get booed like that, it’s fun for nobody.”

Home cooking: Playing at Wrigley Field for the first time this season after a six-game road trip was a welcomed change for the Cubs.

They struggled, particular-

ly on offense, during the road trip (2-4 record). Cubs hitters went 4 for 32 with runners in scoring position during their opening road series. There wasn’t any improvement in their home-opening 7-4 loss to Milwaukee.

The Cubs went 2 for 12 with RISP. “I’m not happy with the record, but the way that we’ve played, it’s OK,” outfielder Alfonso Soriano said. “It’s only a few games. We’re happy to be back home and see what happens here. I hope we play hard and get better at home.”

Injury update: Although pitcher Matt Garza was with the team Monday at Wrigley, he isn’t close to returning to the rotation.

Garza (left lat strain) threw a bullpen session Thursday in Atlanta, and Sveum said Garza needs to throw a couple more bullpen sessions before he gets sent somewhere to pitch in a game situation.

ROSE AUGSBURGH-DRACH INVITATIONAL FINAL: ST. CHARLES EAST 3, GENEVA 0

By DENNIS D. JACOBS editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Trying to win the Rose Augsburg-Drach Invitational has been like running against the wind for the St. Charles East girls soccer team in recent seasons.

Saturday at Norris Stadium, the Saints were literally running against the wind against Geneva in the first half, but they made the most of it to come away with a 3-0 victory that gave them the championship of the 24th annual tournament.

Having the southerly wind in excess of 20 mph at their backs in the opening half figured to be a benefit for the Vikings (3-5), and they put three shots on goal in the first 20 minutes to none for East. But when the Saints (6-1-1) got a couple of scoring chances, Amanda Hilton capitalized with substantial help from Shannon Rasmussen.

With 18:13 left in the half, a corner kick by Rasmussen found Hilton’s right foot for a point-blank shot that she drilled into the top of the net.

“It was a great team effort to get it up there and get the corner, so that was great to see,” Hilton said. “Shannon – what a ball. It was perfect, right on the money. I knew I had to get something on it and I got my foot on it, so it was a great feeling.”

Four minutes later, Rasmussen targeted Hilton again with a cross that the senior forward headed into the net to make it 2-0 at the half.

“Oh, man, she was on,” Hilton said of her junior teammate. “I keep telling her to keep getting it in there. She knows we’re always going to get on it. Her balls are perfect.

Same with Darcy [Cunningham] on the other side, so it’s great to see that.”

East coach Paul Jennison shared Hilton’s assessment.

“Time and time again, I’ll say it – we’ve got such quality on the outside,” Jennison said. “We’ve got the ability all over the field to put balls in the box.”

Geneva coach Megan Owens lamented her team’s lackluster effort early in the contest.

“We didn’t show up for the first half,” she said. “I think we clearly showed up in the second half. We had a lot of fight and we played with a lot of heart in the second half, but we lacked that in the first half.”

The Vikings did put together a couple of decent scoring chances in the second half, but by then, the score was 3-0 because East senior forward Carly Pottle took advantage of a Geneva defensive miscue less than three minutes into the half, drilling a shot into the right side of the net from inside the box.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM Honey has a history going back to 2100 B.C. It is mentioned in some Babylonian writings. It was used for sweetening food, for medicine, for religious ceremonies and even as a form of money. In the 18th and 19th centuries, a special serving dish and usually a special serving fork or spoon were devoted to each type of food, so it’s not surprising to find special antique honey pots. The wealthy used silver serving pieces, and honey pots might be shaped like bee skeps or have a sculpted or engraved bee as decoration. Skeps were made of woven straw and were portable. If a skep was not destroyed to get honey out, another swarm of bees could inhabit a skep the next season. Old skeps sell today for about $50 to $100 as decorations.

It is illegal to raise bees with a skep today. Beekeepers must be able to open hives today so mite medicine can be applied. Old and new honey pots can be found made of glass and pottery. If you plan to use a sterlingor silver-plated pot, it must have a glass liner. Honey encourages silver tarnish, and tarnish destroys some of honey’s nutrients. *** Q: I have an original program from the Candlestick Park Dedication Dinner held at the Garden Court of the Sheraton-Palace Hotel in San Francisco on April 11, 1960.

The team played there for 40 years, until its new ballpark on San Francisco Bay (now called AT&T Park) opened in 2000.

A 5-inch-high English silver honey pot shaped like a bee skep was estimated at $4,500 to $5,000 at a recent Garth’s auction in Ohio. It has 1810 London hallmarks. The same skep sold at a 2005 Maine auction for $2,875.

*** Q: I still have my Alice Marble wooden tennis racket my parents gave me when I was about 10 years old. It was made by Wilson and reads “Court Queen” on the handle.

Is this of any value, or is it just a piece of tennis history?

A: Tennis player Alice Marble (1913-1990) was ranked No. 1 in the world in 1939. She broke world records when she won the singles, doubles and mixed doubles titles at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open that year. During World War II, she was a spy for the United States and was wounded when trying to get some Nazi financial information.

Wilson made more than one model of Alice Marble tennis rackets. The Court Queen model was introduced in about 1938. Old wooden rackets aren’t particularly valuable today.

Rackets like yours sell for under $40. They are hung on the wall as decoration, not used to play tennis.

They were in my husband’s family for years. The box they’re in reads, “Elastolin, Made in Germany.” I would appreciate any information you can give me.

A: Elastolin is a trademark used by toy manufacturer O. & M. Hauser of Stuttgart, Germany. The company was founded in 1904 by Otto and Max Hausser. In 1912 Hauser began making miniature military figures out of a mixture of sawdust and glue. The figures were hand-painted and marked “Elastolin.” Figures representing soldiers from many wars, medieval characters, cowboys and Indians and other figures, including animals, were made in several sizes.

A: Bessie Pease Gutmann (18761960) was an American artist who did illustrations for advertisements, books, magazines, postcards and calendars. She is best known for her prints of babies and young children. She stopped working in 1947. Her prints have been massproduced. Original prints were done on matte paper and include the print number and the name and city of the publisher, “Gutmann and Gutmann, New York, N.Y.” Titles on early prints were written in block letters. Later, prints had titles in script. Original prints can be worth a few hundred dollars, while copies sell for as little as $10 to $15 each. *** Tip: Help your family by always

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Mika returns with an edgier sound

Newspaper Enterprise Association

By GEOFFREY HIMES TODAY – Moving into a new residence could be one of the many changes you are likely to make in the year ahead. Even if at the present time you cannot imagine it, start planning for it anyway.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t allow size, circumstances or people to intimidate you. A positive attitude could work wonders at this time, especially when the stakes are high.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – New life can be breathed into an enterprise that you were going to toss onto the scrap heap.

You’ll be glad you gave it a second shot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Relax and allow yourself to tune into some fortuitous currents. Circumstances are shifting in your favor; you just need to pay attention to them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Something quite fortunate could be escaping your notice. However, you’ll shortly learn of it, and when you do, it’ll make you very happy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – There is a lucrative market for some special talent or knowledge that you possess. However, it will be up to you to make your wares known.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be aware and on top of developments, because a big opportunity could present itself through an unusual source. It might usher in the big change that you’ve been waiting for.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Involve yourself with the type of people who can make things happen and substantial benefits are probable. You’ll find that you need these successful types more than they need you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You’re in a different kind of cycle that could produce some unusual but excellent results. Several of your ambitions now have good chances of being fulfilled.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Several close associates hold you in high esteem. These people want you to succeed, and will do what they can to help you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Although you usually function best when you focus on one thing at a time, today could be an exception. The more that is being thrown at you, the better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An endeavor in which you’re involved is now being managed by someone who isn’t as capable as you are. It’s time you assume management of the situation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Over the coming months, you could be in one of the strongest financial trends you’ve ever experienced. There will be some lows, but they will be greatly outnumbered by the highs.

Special to The Washington Post Mika worries that melody comes too easily for him.

The 29-year-old Lebanese singer can write pop choruses as catchy as anything performed by his heroes Elton John, the Bee Gees, Michael Jackson and Queen.

And though Mika has never scored a top-50 pop single in the United States, he’s a huge star in Europe, with four top-10 singles in France, five in England and six in Italy.

The tall, slender songwriter is apprehensive nonetheless. Mika (nee Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr.) knows that pop hooks are like sugar – if the doses aren’t just right, they can easily go from tasty to cloying. On his latest album, “The Origin of Love,” he deliberately tries to balance the sweet with the sour.

“How can you get away with a love song nowadays?”

Mika says by phone from Vancouver, where his band was rehearsing for its North American tour. “You’re saying the same thing as Lionel Richie’s ‘Hello,’ and if you’re not careful, it will become the same thing, and that won’t work in 2013.

“It’s very easy for melody to sound contrived if it resolves too quickly ... So, it’s all about tempering melody, about not letting the chords or the lyrics follow the melody too closely. You need that tension. It’s all about teasing without satisfying too quickly, and when you do satisfy, you want to go back to the teasing right away.”

“Popular Song,” the first American single from Mika’s new album, marries its singalong chorus so perfectly to its clapalong beat that it could be one of those earworm advertising jin-

“It’s all about teasing without satisfying too quickly,” Mika says of his approach. On his latest album, he deliberately tries to balance the sweet with the sour. gles. But listen closely to the words that Mika is singing in his buoyant tenor, and you’ll realize that this is a vicious revenge song.

The track opens with a cheerleader calling Mika names over a catchy piano riff.

“Standing on the field with your pretty pompoms,” he retorts, “now you’re working at the movies selling popular corn ... You were singing all the songs I don’t know. Now you’re in the front row, ’cause my song is popular.”

The payoff is delayed by the edge in his voice and by the stripped-down production in the early verses, making the eventual climax all the more satisfying.

It’s not surprising to learn that the song is semi-autobiographical.

There weren’t any cheerleaders at Mika’s English

boarding school, but there were bullies who singled him out as a foreigner and as gay.

“I was a loner,” Mika recalls, “and I hated the reality that was presented to me. It’s that rejection of something that they’re afraid of ... .

“So what do you do when you hate the reality presented to you? You create your own reality. I didn’t choose classical music and abstract art; I chose cartoons and pop songs, because that’s what people like. It’s weird, but coming from that kind of rejection, I really felt that I could justify myself by making something that people would like. Just listen to what I was singing on ‘Grace Kelly.’ “ “Grace Kelly” was Mika’s breakthrough single in 2007, going top five in nine European countries on the

strength of its giddy falsetto chorus warbling over a piano-pounding momentum worthy of Sir Elton.

What saves the song from a bubble-gum sugar overdose is Mika’s knowing exaggeration of his own neediness. There’s a satiric provocation to such lines as “Do I attract you? Do I repulse you with my queasy smile? Am I too dirty? Am I too flirty?”

All three of Mika’s albums are filled with tracks like that: love songs with a confectionary frosting and a tart filling, an infectious first impression and a subversive aftertaste. An especially sophisticated example is his new album’s title track, which pursues the commonplace equation of love and an addictive drug to its most disturbing implications. But these ideas are hidden within a pop production so contagious that you’re drawn in before you realize what’s going on.

“It’s a spin on a love song,” Mika says, “but it includes as much that’s ugly as happy. It’s like when you compare a love story in a [Roman] Polanski movie or a [Francois] Truffaut film to a love story shown on a Hallmark channel ... . The song talks about my life right now. But at the end of the day, it’s just a pop song.

It’s all about a melody, a rhythm that pops out at you before you notice all these other things.”

For a sampling of Mika’s music, check out “Popular Song,” “Origin of Love” and “Emily” from the album “The Origin of Love;” “Grace Kelly,” “Lollipop” and “Billy Brown” from “Life in Cartoon Motion;” and “We Are Golden” and “Dr. John” from “The Boy Who Knew Too Much.”

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and happy as she indicated, I’m pretty sure he already knows. I know I did. – Jon In North Carolina Dear Jon: Thank you for writing. The comments I received about that letter were passionate and informed: Dear Abby: Bisexual women and men who begin identifying and clarifying their sexual identities in the context of committed relationships need spaces where they can sort through their understandings of themselves.

A support group that is either counselor- or peer-led, in-person or online, can be an important resource to help “Bi in the Deep South” recognize that others have also experienced what she is going through and she can learn from them. She will see there is a place of support and encouragement where it’s OK to talk about what bisexuality means for her. – Licensed Counselor, Austin, Texas Dear Abby: If “Bi in the Deep

South” is comfortable enough with who she is to tell someone, she should not be advised to stay in the closet to any degree. She has the right to be honest with herself and her family and not go through life hiding.

As for posting one’s sexual orientation on social media profiles, doing so does not change your relationship status. You can be both “in a committed relationship” AND “bisexual.” They are not mutually exclusive. – Bi In The Pacific Northwest Dear Abby: There is real power in coming out, in voicing your authentic self. There is an emotional cost to remaining silent.

I speak from personal experience. I was silent for five years, and the day I started talking about the fact that I am bisexual, I felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off me.

Although she may have to correct some people’s misconceptions of what it means to identify as bisexual, she will feel much better. – Robyn In Massachusetts • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Learning how cells age may lead to treatments Dear Doctor K: I see advertisements about various treatments that stop your cells from aging.

Is there anything to that? What happens to our cells as we age?

Dear Reader: There are no treatments that can stop our cells from aging. But in the past 10 years scientists have made giant steps in understanding what causes cells to age. That knowledge could lead to true “anti-aging” treatments.

As for what happens to our cells as we age, I’d rephrase the question: What happens to us as our cells age?

Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells. As we get older, so too do our cells. And like us, our cells do not live forever. Most of the cells in our bodies today were not with us when we were born.

From birth through adulthood, new cells are constantly forming; that’s how our bodies grow larger. Cells “grow” not by getting bigger, but by dividing in two. This process is called mitosis. Normally, the two cells that result from mitosis are identical right down to the last bit of genetic information.

Once we reach adulthood, our

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff cells don’t need to divide to help our bodies grow bigger. They divide only to replace cells that have died or been damaged. This happens differently in different organs. Liver cells, for example, multiply only in response to injury. But skin cells continue to divide regularly, even if the skin hasn’t been injured, though at a pace that slows over time.

Cells can split only a limited number of times. For example, fibroblasts, the collagen-producing skin cells, typically divide about 50 times. Once a cell reaches this end point, it enters a stage in which it no longer divides and finally dies. When the cell receives certain chemical signals that its time is up, the cell switches on a program called apoptosis that leads to the cell’s death. In other words, a cell that learns its time has come commits suicide.

Each time a cell divides, a little bit of the telomere – DNA at the tip of each chromosome

– is lost. Thus, telomeres of young cells are longer than the telomeres of middle-aged cells, which in turn are longer than the telomeres of old cells. When the telomeres become very short, the cell can no longer divide, and it dies. (I’ve put an illustration of cell division and its effect on telomere length on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Along with telomeres that get shorter, older cells also suffer increasing damage to their DNA. In addition, the mitochondria – the little “batteries” inside each cell that supply its energy – start to become less efficient.

The bottom line is this: We get older because our cells get older.

What makes a cell age, and what could help keep a cell young, were nearly total mysteries just 25 years ago. Since then, medical research has provided many answers. Because of that research, I believe that someday we will be able to slow aging.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 20 and dating a super guy. We met at a mutual friend’s birthday party a year ago, and it was love at first sight. I honestly believe that someday, after we finish college, we’ll get married. This guy is the answer to every girl’s dream. He has a wonderful personality and a great sense of humor and is highly compassionate. He is also handsome, intelligent and plays the piano beautifully.

Some of my friends and family members make snide remarks about his height. I’m 5 feet 8 inches tall, and he measures out at 5 feet 6 inches tall. They overlook his wonderful qualities and focus on his height.

Jerry is aware that people make comments about me being taller, but it doesn’t bother him. He even insists that I wear high heels when we dress up for a date.

However, I’m the one who feels self-conscious.

Will I eventually get over this very stupid feeling? When we’re alone, I never feel this way. It’s only when we’re in public and I think people are staring at us, or when a family member or friend makes an insensitive remark, that I get a twinge of self-consciousness. – Nameless, Portland, Maine Dear Nameless: I’m sorry to hear that a few insensitive idiots are causing you such unnecessary discomfort. When people stare, it’s natural to feel self-conscious.

Fortunately, your boyfriend is relaxed about it. Now it’s your turn to relax. Jerry is a keeper.

Be thankful that you will marry him and live happily ever after.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16, play soccer and tennis and work hard to

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace maintain a trim, healthy body. I eat properly and exercise daily. I’m 5 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 109 pounds.

My grandmother keeps telling my parents that I look anemic and sickly. That simply is not true. I’m a healthy, vibrant and very happy teenager.

I’m getting tired of being called “Skinny Minnie” by my grandmother. My mother is a bit overweight, but my father has a slim build.

I’m sure my grandmother makes fun of me because I look more like my father than my mother, who happens to be her daughter.

What can I do to get my grandmother to stop making rude remarks about my body build?

My mother has never referred to me as “Skinny Minnie.” I hate the word skinny. – Hannah, Magnolia, Ga. Dear Hannah: Insulting words can be extremely hurtful, especially when they come from such a close relative. Grandma’s rudeness is definitely out of control. Maybe you can defuse it with a sense of humor. For instance, the next time she calls you “Skinny Minnie,” just smile and say, “Thanks, Grandmother. I’ll take that as a compliment.”

If this doesn’t work, talk to Mom and let her know how deeply such remarks are hurting you.

I’m with you regarding the word “skinny.”

It’s mean-spirited and should be replaced with “slim” or “slender.”

Dear Abby: I am writing in response to your answer in a previous column to “Bi in the Deep South;” the woman who is happily married to a man, but who now realizes she is bisexual and wants to come out.

My wife is an out bisexual woman. You were correct that it is possible to be bisexual without having acted on it, as people are not defined solely by the partner they have. Precisely for that reason, some individuals feel that “bisexual” is who they are, and to omit it feels like living a lie.

The notion that stating one’s bisexuality is “advertising that one is available” is why my wife chose to come out – to combat this misconception. Just as straights can be attracted to people of the opposite sex besides their spouse, so might a coupled bisexual person be attracted to other individuals of both genders. Bisexuals, however, are no more likely to ACT on this attraction than anyone else.

“Bi” should just be herself and tell anyone who needs to know when she feels comfortable telling them. And you’re right, Abby – she should tell her husband first.

But if her marriage is as strong

Two-no-trump overcall changes, too

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Celine Dion said: “Golf is a search for perfection, for balance. It’s about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.”

In bridge you must use your brain to gain the most from each hand you hold. And in this week’s columns, we are looking at balancing, when one player, if he passes, will end the auction.

If the dealer opens one of a suit, the next two players pass, and the fourth player jump-overcalls two no-trump, it is no longer unusual, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowest unbid suits.

Now it is natural. In principle, the intervenor has a hand with which he would have opened two no-trump, but he might be a point or two short of the normal requirements when he has a respectable six-card minor.

In this deal, though, South has a classic two-no-trump opening and a balancing two-notrump overcall. North transfers into hearts, then rebids three notrump to offer a choice of games.

South, with only two hearts, passes.

After West leads the spade queen, how should South plan the play?

Declarer starts with eight top tricks: two spades, three hearts and three clubs. He should work to get a fourth heart winner.

After winning the first trick in his hand with the spade ace (to keep dummy’s king as an entry), South should cash his heart ace, then overtake the heart queen with dummy’s king. He continues with the heart 10 to drive out the jack and ends with nine tricks.

Note that if declarer gets greedy, cashing his two hearts, then crossing to the spade king, he goes down.
