Cooking contest to help area agencies Competition to feature women for the first time By MELISSA RISKE

DID YOU WIN?

editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – Geneva businessman Gordie Hard of Valley Insurance Agency admits it was his wife’s recipe for grilled shrimp that helped him earn accolades at last year’s 60 Men Who Cook fundraiser. They worked on it together, and she lent a hand as he prepared to serve up more than 250 portions of the tasty dish that won the title for best entrée. This year, it’s every man for himself. The friendly competition has a new name this year – 30 Men vs. 30 Women Who Cook. It’s a battle of the sexes as professional and amateur chefs prepare their best dishes. The change has brought plenty of friendly ribbing, Hard said. “We wanted to see if we could ramp up the game,” said Laura Rush, communications manager for the Geneva Chamber of Commerce and a coordinator for the fifth annual event. Rush said she and fellow members of the steering committee noticed last year that while the fundraiser was called 60 Men Who Cook, there were quite a few women assisting behind the scenes. They decided to give the ladies a chance to take home the trophies in the friendly competition. Last year, Kathy Melone of St. Charles was a woman supporting a male chef as her 11-year-old son, Bennett, competed. When she learned about the new competition she registered with a new teammate, her daughter, Elena. They’ll prepare a family recipe. “We’re making grandma’s homemade fudge and something she can help make,” said Kathy Melone, who also is a member of the Geneva Rotary Club.

John Martin slices the red velvet cake he made during the 2010 60 Men Who Cook event at the Kane County Fairgrounds. Ellen Divita, director of economic development for the city of Geneva, also will be a chef for the night, cooking with her coworkers Jamie Heflin, an administrator and tourism coordinator, and Mary McKittrick, the city administrator. “We just thought it was a fun thing to do,” Divita said. “I don’t know if we’re going to win, but it will be fun.” Creativity counts in the competition, where each chef is vying for votes to win the best dish and best display. Chefs often dress up and even create elaborate displays to draw in hungry folks for a sample and votes. “The chefs really go above and beyond the call of duty,” said Terry Emma, executive director for the Geneva History Center and coordinator for the Friday event. This year’s event will be at the Prairie Event Center on the Kane County Fairgrounds, 525 S. Randall Road, St. Charles. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and chefs begin serving at 6 p.m. Almost all of the food is prepared onsite, with chefs arriving early to set up and use the on-site kitchens. “They’re already gathering their ingredients and starting to plan now,” Emma said.

“The things they come up with are very creative.” Creativity is important because chefs seek votes to win the trophy for best dish. And in this competition, voting early and often is highly encouraged. Each vote is a dollar. Voting is available online before the event, and each chef has a basket to collect votes during the competition. Through votes and ticket sales, the fundraiser helps three local agencies: the Geneva Lions Club, the Rotary Club of Geneva and the Geneva History Center. “It continues to be a good fundraiser,” Rush said. Last year, each agency received about $7,000. As executive director for the Geneva History Center, Emma said the funding is really important. “It makes a huge difference for us,” said Emma, adding that the Geneva History Center relies on donations to operate and the money raised through this fundraiser is an important piece to keeping the agency up and running. Hard, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Geneva, said the agency will use its portion to support college-bound students with scholarships.

To see what Divita, Melone and Hard cook up this year, attendees can buy tickets – online at www.genevachamber.com or in person at the Chamber office or the Geneva History Center. Tickets are $28 in advance and $30 at the door. Beer and wine will be available for purchase. Attendees will want to bring plenty of dollar bills to cast their votes for favorite dishes and for raffles, too, Rush said. Hard said it was fun to earn the trophy for best entrée last year. As for his advice for the newcomers to this year’s event, he kept it simple. “Make sure to make enough,” Hard said.

| COVER STORY

The high cost of hay Horse owners cope as prices have more than doubled since 2012 By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com In the past year, Sue Balla has fielded twice the calls she typically gets from people wanting to relinquish their horses because they can’t afford to feed them. Balla, president and founder of nonprofit horse rescue group Casey’s Safe Haven in Elburn, says the higher call volume has to do with soaring hay prices – a result of last year’s drought, which left farmers with a paltry hay crop. “The economy’s tough as it is, then double the price of hay – it’s rough.” she said. “All of us in the horse world are just praying for rain.” Hay prices have more than doubled since the end of 2012, putting horse owners, nonprofit rescue groups and some boarding stables in a tight spot. Hay usually is purchased frequently in small quantities all year round at Field of Dreams, a nonprofit horse rescue group in Batavia. Craig Knight, president of the organization, said this year, they decided to buy in bulk to feed their 10 horses. “We bought many months of hay to try and stockpile hay at a reasonable cost fearing the drought last year would make prices continue to rise through the winter,” he said. Susan Buckman, barn manager at the Fox Chase Farms boarding stable in Maple Park, was used to paying about $4 for a bale of hay; now she pays $10 to $12 a bale. They currently

“We bought many months of hay to try and stockpile hay at a reasonable cost fearing the drought last year would make prices continue to rise through the winter.” Craig Knight President of the nonproit horse rescue group, Field of Dreams have 30 horses at their stable, and this year they’ve had to look for hay out of state because prices were so high. When it comes to a horse’s diet, experts say nothing beats hay. Buckman said that’s one area where she won’t compromise. While she described the budget as “significantly tight-

er” this year, she said it’s extremely important to maintain the horses’ diet because their digestive systems are delicate and don’t take change well. Because that’s the priority, Buckman said other expenses around the farm have taken a back seat. “The drought has really

caused us to really rank what we have to do and forced to make choices we wouldn’t have had to make before,” she said. “You can’t do the same little things that you’ve been able to do in the past.” She said some stable owners have coped by adding an extra hay surcharge, which

she said will hopefully fall off this spring and summer if prices go down. Even if there is an excellent crop this year, Buckman worries that the price will never again drop down to the $4 range. Knight said the price of hay seems to have stabilized a bit, but it’s still “quite a considerable number.” He said Field of Dreams has been able to sustain itself through the price jump thanks to the farm’s donors who have offered help. “Fortunately, our benefactors and the followers of our rescue operations understood the needs and very generously stepped up to the plate,” he said. Luck also has helped Casey’s Safe Haven. Balla said the farm has been working with the same hay seller for the past decade, and he was generous enough to keep their prices the same. “Our prices did not go up,” she said. “We are blessed beyond belief.” She said if that wasn’t the case, the farm wouldn’t have been able to take in as many horses. They now have seven ponies, eight horses and a donkey. Buckman said she’s hopeful this year’s hay crop, which typically has its first cutting in late spring and early summer, will be better than last year’s. “I have to be hopeful,” she said. “I think that the days of the $4 bale of hay are over and that concerns me. That might cause some farms to go under and relinquish horses when they don’t want to.”

STC to buy downtown VFW building By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – To Mark Cecchi, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5036 is a wonderful place that has hosted such events as blood drives and Proud Parent Platoon meetings. Selling the building at 119 N. Third St. in downtown St. Charles is a “very melancholy” event, said Cecchi, the post’s financial officer.

“We’ve had a lot of memorable occasions here,” he said. On Monday, the St. Charles City Council approved the city’s purchase of the one-story, 5,600-square-foot building, which was built in 1952 and expanded in 1986. Closing is set for June 14 at a purchase price of $800,000, according to city documents. According to documents, the city plans to replace the building with a parking lot that, when completed, should

City Council will not revisit arch vote By NICOLE WESKERNA BATAVIA – Discussion of revisiting the vote for a proposed arch in downtown Batavia halted Monday night after the Batavia City Council voted against suspending Robert’s Rules of Order to talk about the contract, which has been partially executed. After a protest of the arch earlier this month, Batavia 3rd Ward Alderman Dan Chanzit asked council members whether they would reconsider the arch contract, which opponents have said is too expensive and poorly designed. “This is a chance to show the community that we are listening to them,” Chanzit said. “Based on some of this outcry, I think it makes sense to review this contract.” The arch is estimated to cost between $112,000 and $117,000, and would be constructed at the corner of River and Wilson streets in downtown Batavia. Some residents protested the arch earlier this month because they thought it was too expensive. The arch, planned as part of the North River Street streetscape project, originally was expected to cost $50,000. As part of the project, North River Street has been transformed into a curbless street

ficer for two and a half years now, and I’m here to tell you it’s more a membership issue than a solvency issue,” Cecchi said. “We don’t have the membership to support a building and a property of this size.” Cecchi, a 13-year Air Force veteran, said selling the post’s home won’t mean an end to its activities, which include regular blood drives, an annual essay contest for students, contributions to the Wounded Warrior Project, contributions

to Fox Valley Troop Support and visits from Boy Scout troops. The post plans to meet where American Legion Post 342 meets at 1150 N. Fifth Ave. in St. Charles, Cecchi said. In other news, the City Council unanimously approved the budget for fiscal 2013-14 and narrowly approved the final plat of subdivision for Lexington Club. As with the vote in January, the council voted 6-5.

Batavia City Attorney Kevin Drendel said a matter that already has been voted on and partially executed cannot be revisited unless Robert’s Rules of Order have been suspended. In answering questions from other council members, Drendel said there would be some cost to the city to get out of the contract, which requires a quick construction pace. Batavia 2nd Ward Alderman Alan Wolff said suspending Robert’s Rules of Order to revisit a vote would create a slippery slope. He said the council has faced some “extremely big issues” in the time he’s been on the council, but said council members have never backed off of a final vote. “This plan has been out there at least two years,” Wolff said. “I’m sorry that some people have not paid attention to what is going on in their city government. … Coming in at the last second to try to stop it I think is the worst possible thing we could do.”

He said his wife and daughters had been near the finish line less than an hour earlier to watch him finish the course. “I don’t know what side of the street they had been on, but God knows what awful things might have happened if I had not finished when I did,” Grahovec said. “I’m still a little shook up, knowing that if it had gone off 45 minutes sooner, or if I had run a little slower…. “I’m glad I was able to cross the finish line when I did.” After the explosions, Grahovec said he and his family walked back to their hotel to follow the events on TV and online. Elise Conner of St. Charles also said she was not far from the finish area when the explosions occurred. “I hadn’t even picked up my medal yet, when there were

these loud booms,” Conner said. “I saw the smoke, and there was a lot of confusion after.” She said no one around her seemed to know what had happened. But Conner said police and race workers instructed everyone “to keep moving.” Conner said she later located her husband and other family members who were there to watch her run. “They had just parked the car a few blocks away when it happened,” she said. Conner said she was able to check in with others from the area with whom she had traveled to Boston, and “Everybody I know, they’re fine.” “I’m very thankful that I was running a little faster today,” she said, In addition to Grahovec and Conner, local runners listed on the marathon’s website as having finished the race include: from St. Charles, Phillip Anderson, Gina Bartindale, Heather Corcoran, Hernando

Morales, Jim Stone, Meghan Ginter, Heather Kos, Eugene Schmidt and Brooke Williams; and from Geneva, Rich Calvario, Angie Dudman, Richard Hill, Kaitlin Krause, Michael Majewski, Jeanine McMillen, Elizabeth Sacrey and Elena Shemyakina. Tammy Hartje of St. Charles also participated, but had not yet reached the finish line when the marathon was halted. Eric Ott, owner of Geneva Running Outfitters and member of a local running club, said he received confirmation of the well-being of seven runners, including Hartje, Williams, Dudman, Majewski, McMillen, Schmidt and Sacrey. Ott said he would presume that those who finished the race were unharmed, as well, as he said they would likely have been clear of the finish area before the explosions occurred.

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, residents of the Tri-Cities and the Kaneland area who competed in the race spent the hours after the race glued to TVs, mobile phones and computers, as they assured their friends and family of their well-being. According to official race results and athlete tracking information posted on the Boston Marathon website, 20 runners from the Tri-Cities and Kaneland area participated in the race Monday. Of those, 19 were able to finish the race, with most finishing well before two explosions ripped through the area around the marathon’s finish line, ending the 2013 race in horror. The blasts occurred after the top racers, including many runners from the Tri-Cities, had completed the course. But thousands of others still were running at the time of the ex-

plosions. Video footage showed an explosion off to the side of the street as runners were nearing the finish line, with some runners toppling over. Smoke rose from a sidewalk, and photos of the scene afterward showed a sidewalk slicked with blood. Boston Marathon officials described the blasts near the finish line as originating from “two bombs.” Two federal law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the blasts were caused by explosive devices. In addition to two confirmed deaths, The Boston Globe reported that nearly 100 people could have been injured in the blasts. However, Tri-Cities area residents did not appear as of Monday evening to be among those injured or killed. Nicholas Grahovec of Sugar Grove, who was running in his first Boston Marathon, said he had completed the course about 45 minutes before the

CAMPTON HILLS

Teens cited with drinking at party By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – Nearly a dozen teenagers attending a house party Friday night were charged with underage drinking, according to a Campton Hills Police Department report. The host, Bryan Nicholas Velazquez, 18, of the 4N300 block of Fox Mill Boulevard, Campton Hills, was charged with underage drinking and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Police reportedly saw beer cans and plastic cups around the house and smelled burned marijuana upon their arrival about 10 p.m. Seeing police, a large group of teens ran and threw beer bottles, plastic cups and bottles of open liquor, police reported. After a short chase, police cited a boy and girl, both 17 and of Campton Hills, with underage drinking and released them to their parents, according to the report. Police tried to contact the homeowner, but nobody answered the door. Attempts to make contact by telephone were unsuccessful, police reported. About 15 minutes later, police reported, a parent arrived and got her underage daughter to come out.

The teen confirmed that no parents were home and said everyone who had been drinking and using drugs were scared of the police, according to the report. She and another teen who exited the house once parents arrived were given stern verbal warnings by police, police reported. Police noted the pair didn’t look like they had consumed alcohol. Police then entered the house, which reportedly smelled of burned marijuana and was littered with beer cans, liquor bottles, white powder, pill capsules and plastic bags containing a green, leafy substance. Six minors were cited with underage drinking as well as two 18-year-olds: Paul Garza, of the 5N100 block of Oak Leaf Court, St. Charles, and Samantha Prigge, of the 40W300 block of Winchester Way, Campton Hills. According to another police report, Velazquez was charged March 15 with obstructing police when he interfered with an interview between an officer and his mother. His mother had called police and reportedly told the officer her son refused to follow the house rules, damaged her property and had underage drinking parties.

McQuillan raises questions on budget By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Aldermen approved Geneva’s 2013-14 budget Monday, but not before failed mayoral hopeful Bob McQuillan challenged officials on the budget’s accuracy and presentation. McQuillan, who lost to incumbent Mayor Kevin Burns last week, also asked aldermen not to approve the budget. After the budget hearing, aldermen approved it 8-0; 3rd Ward Alderman Dawn Vogelsberg was absent. The budget plan covers $83.7 million in spending and $85.1 million in revenue. McQuillan questioned whether it was a balanced budget, saying online information listed revenue of just under $80 million. “I’m reading off the page I printed off the website,” said McQuillan, referring to the city’s budget summary. “Your total expectation of revenue is $79,676,862, and your expected expenditures are $83,698,248. So somebody’s wrong.” Burns said the correct revenue projection is $85.1 million. “The spreadsheets are correct,” City Administrator Mary McKittrick said. “Why is this on the website?” asked McQuillan, re-

ferring to incorrect information. Assistant City Administrator Stephanie Dawkins said the budget was updated online because all the numbers were not correct. “The first budget put on the website for the taxpayers was incorrect,” McQuillan said. “And a week later, the correct budget was put up when they recommended it to be set for a public hearing,” Dawkins said. “The correct budget has been on the website for the past 15 days and at the library and at City Hall.” “When were the taxpayers told that there was a change in the budget on the website … or did you just change it and not let anybody know?” McQuillan asked. “Was there an email sent out? Why not?” Burns cautioned McQuillan to calm down. “Deep breaths, man,” Burns said. “We’re all taxpayers. ... Information is updated regularly on the website. If we sent an email every time we updated the website, people would be flooded with emails.” Burns suggested that those who want to know what is going on at City Hall check the website constantly or contact their representative.

GENEVA – Mary-Rose Emma, formerly of Geneva, passed away March 9, 2013, after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. Born April 21, 1922, in the hills of West Virginia near Farmington, she spent her final days at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Long-Term Care in Chewelah, Wash. Mary-Rose had studied to become a legal secretary, then joined the U.S. Navy during World War II. While playing tennis at the Naval Base in Pensacola, Fla., she met the love of her life, Sam Emma. They married and settled in Geneva to raise their three children, Nancy, John and Rosanna. With the help of his brothers, Sam built a beautiful brick home at 702 Hawthorne Lane, where the couple lived for 57 years. Music, gardening and tennis were Mary-Rose’s great strengths. She was a lifetime member of the Geneva Garden Club and well-known at St. Mark’s Church as the piano lady. Many also will remember her as a favorite “Picture Lady” in the Geneva schools. In 1974, her only son, John, died in a plane crash en route to perform in a concert; he had played lead guitar for the rock ‘n’ roll band known as “Chase.” Mary-Rose also was preceded in death by her husband, Sam; her parents, Jack and Anna Muzichuck; and five siblings, Kay, Paula, Dora, Nancy and Ed. She is survived by two daughters, Nancy (Dave) Giessen of Chewelah, and Rosanna (Tom) Graber of Bondurant, Iowa; two granddaughters, Danielle (Tennison) Shetler of Nashville, Tenn., and Rhiannon (Ray) Masters of Sand Point, Idaho; and eight great-grandchildren, Brennen, Sienna, Warner, Victor, Geneva, Emma, John and Esther. A celebration of Mary-Rose’s life will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 320 Franklin St. in Geneva, with the Rev. Mark Tusken officiating. Contributions may be sent to the Valley Bible Church, 3067 Fourth St., Valley, WA 99181.

Collection dedicated by Tri-Cities Exchange Club ST. CHARLES – Each day, about a thousand people walk through the main hallway of the Kane County Branch Court at 540 S. Randall Road, St. Charles. Now, visitors will be able to get a glimpse of the newly installed Freedom Shrine, dedicated by the Tri-Cities Exchange Club. The Freedom Shrine is a permanently mounted collection of 30 of the most important and historic American documents, including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. “We hope people will take the time to stop and study the words of our forefathers, often written in their own hands, and gain a renewed appreciation for our amazing historical heritage,” said Mark Cecchi, Exchange Club member and co-chair of the

project. Cecchi, of St. Charles, served 13 years as a U.S. Air Force officer and pilot with duty on seven continents, including four in “hostile fire” zones. As part of the Exchange Club’s Americanism mission, Cecchi and fellow co-Chair Charlie Brown approached county officials about installing a Freedom Shrine at the court building. They logged many hours of planning and effort to complete the presentation. Attending last week’s dedication ceremony were Chris Lauzen, Kane County Board chairman; Judge Judy Brawka, chief judge of the 16th Judicial Circuit; and Scot Warren, representing the National Exchange Club organization, along with about 20 other Exchange members and friends. The Freedom Shrine originated from the Freedom Train that toured the nation

in 1947, carrying an exhibit of historical documents. Thousands of shrines have been dedicated around the country – in universities, libraries, schools, state capitals and city halls. As Brawka noted, the court building is an ideal place for the Freedom Shrine, “as it is these very documents from which the judicial system derives its authority to oversee the laws that guarantee freedom for all Americans.” Committed to making the community a better place, Tri-Cities Exchange Club is a volunteer service organization with a focus on patriotism and the prevention of child abuse. Local social service organizations supported by the group’s fundraising efforts include The Salvation Army, TriCity Family Services, Riverwoods Christian Center, Kane County CASA and Lazarus House.

Fun, fundraising no fairy tale at annual Dewey Dash By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com ELBURN – Matt Miller wouldn’t describe his family as a clan of runners. But for the past three years, Miller, of Elburn, said his family – including his wife, Tania, and three young children, Calvin, Delaney and Eli – have carved out time to take part in the Dewey Dash fundraiser 1-mile and 5K walk and run, benefiting Elburn’s Town and Country Public Library. “We use the library all the time; we love it,” Miller said. “So anything we can do to give them a little hand, we’re happy to help. And, besides, this is just fun.” Sunday morning, while Miller was “on sideline photo duty,” Tania and the three children were among the more than 250 runners and walkers who participated in the ninth annual Dewey Dash. Mary Lynn Alms, director of the Town and Country Library District, said the event’s organizers believed Sunday’s race could be among the largest in the event’s history. Registrations were still being accepted Sunday morning, but 216 participants had preregistered online in the days leading up to the race, Alms said. By the beginning of the race Sunday, organizers es-

Last year, amid miserable weather conditions, just 203 racers participated, Alms said. She credited promising weather forecasts, which had called for high temperatures around 65 to 70 degrees Sunday, with helping to draw in what could rank as the second-largest number of participants since more than 300 ran and walked in the first Dewey Dash nine years ago.

or nearby communities. But a few come from points more distant. Mother and daughter Michelle and Julia Niemeyer, for instance, came from Oak Lawn. They said they were drawn to the event by its theme, “Once Upon a Run,” for which participants were encouraged to dress as fairy tale characters. Some runners dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh. Tiaras and tutus were present in abundance. As for the Niemeyers, mother Michelle dressed as “just a fairy,” while daughter Julia, 7, dressed as Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Coultrap’s mementos offered at auction By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A silent auction of Coultrap artifacts in Geneva drew about 150 people during the all-day event Saturday. The public perused everything from overhead projectors and pencil sharpeners, old clocks and lockers, carts with wheels for film projectors, students’ and teachers’ desks, bookcases, doors and railings. Another session is coming this weekend, as the silent auction continues from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 8 to 11 a.m. Sunday at the facility, 1113 Peyton St., Geneva. The school, built in 1923, will be demolished, and officials

wanted to give the community a chance to buy the items. Geneva School District 304 Director of Facility Operations Scott Ney said the district will sell commemorative bricks with plaques stating Coultrap’s years, 1923 to 2013. The district hopes to raise $10,000 to $15,000, Ney said, which will go toward the demolition cost, estimated at $862,000. Renovation and repair estimates of $2.3 million to $4.3 million were deemed too expensive, so officials decided tearing the school down was cheaper. Audrey Bridges, who worked as an aide in a firstgrade classroom at Coultrap, said she put a bid on her old

desk. “I want to take it home, and I’m going to use it at my house,” Bridges said. “I have a lot of memories, walking up and down this hall every day. I got close to the kids that I worked with here.” Ron Stevenson of Geneva said he could not decide what he wanted from the silent auction. “It’s overwhelming,” Stevenson said. “You’d have a hard time making a decision if you want something. And I’m at a stage in life where I’m not accumulating. I’m disaccumulating. The only thing I would take home would be some cabinets, some storage lockers for my garage.”

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Letters and red ink THE WASHINGTON POST The U.S. Postal Service faces a financial death spiral. Burdened by excess infrastructure, outmoded regulations and high labor costs – not to mention facing digital-age obsolescence – USPS posted an operating loss of $15.9 billion in fiscal 2012 and is on course to lose an estimated $7.9 billion in fiscal 2013, according to President Barack Obama’s newly issued budget. Postal Service management has declared that, on “any rational analysis,” it cannot escape this predicament without curtailing Saturday delivery, which would save an estimated $2 billion a year. The Obama administration supports five-day delivery. A large majority of Americans tell pollsters they’re willing to sacrifice Saturday service. Yet last week the Postal Service gave up on its plan to end Saturday mail delivery, citing congressional resistance. Rational analysis gets you only so far on Capitol Hill. What really counts is interest-group pressure. And the groups that live off the mail – advertisers, postal unions and paper companies, among others – put the squeeze on strategically positioned members of the House and Senate. They tucked a measure into a recently passed spending bill that was intended to deprive USPS of the legal authority to suspend Saturday delivery; after due consideration, the agency capitulated. Now it’s anyone’s guess how USPS will avoid an expensive taxpayer bailout, given the agency’s well-founded forecasts that it will continue losing business to email, text messaging and the like. The Obama budget includes a plan that usefully

advocates both an end to Saturday delivery and an above-inflation rate hike. In return, the administration offers the Postal Service a reduction in the current requirement that it pre-fund retiree health benefits. The Obama plan would inject $30 billion into USPS, yet postal interest groups gave it a chilly response. The letter carriers union president griped that Obama did not eliminate the health care pre-funding entirely and said cutting Saturday delivery is “plain wrong.” A spokesman for the business-led Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service decried the proposed rate increases. Actually, despite its positive features, Obama’s plan is nowhere near the radical overhaul that USPS needs. Of the Postal Service’s $71 billion in projected costs for fiscal 2013, personnel pay and benefits account for $56 billion – or 79 percent. Yet its 568,000 employees continue to enjoy a no-layoff clause and contribute less to their healthcare benefits than do other federal employees. Labor arbitrators need not take the agency’s financial situation into account when deciding contract disputes. Congress continues to deny USPS the freedom to close unneeded post office and mail-sorting facilities. In his budget, the president expressed the desire to “work with the Congress and postal stakeholders to secure ... necessary reforms.” Alas, the “stakeholders” – aka postal interest groups – are the problem. Unless and until their competing demands are changed, reconciled or overruled, Congress will remain deadlocked, postal reform will remain a nonstarter, and billions of taxpayer dollars will remain at risk.

My great-great-grandparents are buried in a small cemetery just west of Elburn on Route 38. My folks will both celebrate their 85th birthdays this year. They went to grammar school together at Lincoln School, as did my sister, two bothers and I. The other day my mother and I were touring Delnor Glen in St. Charles, the hospital-turned-retirement community that my siblings and I were born in during the ’50s. To our surprise, the elevator opened and with great joy my mother hugged and said hello to a former teacher of hers. Wow!

Lulek scores lone goal in Vikings’ win By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com GENEVA – The Geneva and Kaneland girls soccer teams waited through a weather delay that pushed back the start of their match, rushed through an abbreviated warmup and eventually revved up their match Monday night at Burgess Field. Less than 70 seconds later, the sky rumbled, lightning was spotted and the teams were back to their respective sheds. “I was pretty mad about that,” Geneva junior defender Tory Herbst said. “I kind of just wanted to get going. We were sitting in the shed, everybody was getting all ready and pumped up for the game. We went through all our warmups. We’re all already just soaking wet, kind of ready to just get going, and a minute later, it’s back to the shed to go sit again. “It was kind of frustrating but I think we took the [chance] to kind of regroup a few times.” The weather finally cooperated – some of the drenched fans might have a dissenting view – enough for the teams to fit in their match, a 1-0 Vikings’ victory. Both teams took something worthwhile from the rainy meeting. The Vikings won their second straight match after losing five in a row beforehand, and had the opportunity to take aim at a high-caliber goalkeeper in Kaneland senior Jordan Ginther. Kaneland, meanwhile, will benefit from the experiences of playing larger, highly respected opponents such as St. Charles East on Saturday (a 2-0

loss) and Geneva on Monday, coach Scott Parillo said. “We’ve got to be quicker with our decision-making, for sure,” Parillo said. “Against some of the teams you have a little bit longer to do it, and other times, you don’t. Facing these two teams shows that you have to make your decisions quicker and you have to have great first touch, and you have to pass and move the ball. It’ll happen.” Geneva (5-6) scored the

night’s only goal with 16:53 to play in the first half when senior forward Amanda Lulek finished a header off sophomore Megan Kozlow’s free kick. The Knights (3-4-1) never mustered a serious threat to counter as the Vikings enjoyed a healthy possession advantage. “It’s 1-0, but we dodged some bullets there,” Parillo said. Geneva coach Megan Ow-

ens said facing consecutive quality goalkeepers – the Vikings butted heads with DePaul recruit Lauren Frasca of Rosary on Saturday before seeing the Purdue-bound Ginther on Monday – forced her team to play smart soccer. “You can’t waste your opportunities, you can’t waste your shots, because she’s not going to give up the easy one,” Owens said. “So that makes you better.”

Illness doesn’t stop Orech Leads North to 1st win over St. Francis under Weimer By KEVIN DRULEY

Marmion boys tennis team under one roof. Regardless of venue, that has been a struggle for the Cadets in the first few weeks of the spring because of various conflicts. “The challenge this season, it’s been difficult trying to get everyone together,” Marmion coach John Tsang said. “There’s been other commitments with ACTs. I know some of my players are part of band and Kairos [retreats]. So there’s been a lot of other events that’s hurt the ability to have everyone together at the same time. “As the season progresses, it will be very important for us to come together as a unit and keep coming together and get stronger.” Marmion jump-started its bid for a fifth successive SCC title with a 5-0 win against the Chargers. Top singles player Jackson Rettig, a doubles standout in past season, was among the team’s winners. As for the move indoors, the Cadets appreciate the flexibility their fieldhouse offers in the event of inclement weather. “Everybody was very accommodating and it worked,” Tsang said, “so this could be a tradition [with ACC].”

kdruley@shawmedia.com WHEATON – Jonathan Orech pumped his fist to salute each of St. Charles North’s points against St. Francis in a tight boys volleyball match Monday. Before that, he elevated and swung his arms with ease, all while looking a bit more suave than the rest by virtue of his white headband. Orech’s performance in a 22-25, 25-21, 25-23 road win naturally prompted screaming for a North Stars team that knocked off the Spartans for the first time in coach Todd Weimer’s four seasons. Trouble was, much of what came out of the ailing Orech’s mouth was either painful or barely audible. “I can’t really talk, so in the warmups and stuff, I had to tell other people to shout what plays I wanted to run, stuff like that,” Orech said. “I’ve been sick for the past three days, but I mean, it didn’t stop me today.” Orech contri buted 11

kills, 12 digs and four blocks for the North Stars, who never trailed after the opening game. North (12-2) enjoyed a comfortable lead for much of the third game and only squirmed when St. Francis’ Josef Santos served seven successive points to create a 23-all tie. A fidgety Weimer, who joked he’ll have to fit an emergency trip to the dry cleaner’s before today’s Upstate Eight Conference River opener against Elgin, called timeout. “Just kind of easygoing,” North Stars libero Ryan Dal Degan said. “Asked what we were running, switched it up a little bit, just made sure we went out there and executed like we know we’re capable of doing.” St. Francis (14-3) watched a Greg Churney spike land out of bounds on the next point. The match ended when North’s Jack Harbaugh and Zach Ziesmer teamed on a block of Jeff Jendryk, who joined teammate Patrick

Flood with 11 kills. After the match, Spartans coach Mike Lynch gestured to the team motto on the Spyglass Center scoreboard, suggesting the team expected to be given the victory instead of earning it. The Spartans were coming off a busy week – including a win against fellow power Benet and an unbeaten run to a tournament title at Streamwood. Lynch did not offer the schedule as an excuse. “Volleyball is you cram those 35 regular-season matches into, like, a seven-week season and then the playoffs start,” Lynch said. “It goes real quick.” The already-vocal Dal Degan (14 digs) approached a handful of teammates about stepping up considering Orech’s condition. Orech said he briefly pondered not playing, but “didn’t even feel it anymore” after warmups. Kevin Beach (17 digs, seven kills) and Harbaugh (seven kills) sparked North, as well.

Geneva resident Ben Kanute passed largely under the radar as he walked the University of Arizona campus Monday. Sweeping the sprint and Olympic distance races at the USA Triathlon Collegiate National Championships in Tempe, Ariz., over the weekend certainly earned him recognition among friends, but, Kanute said, “It’s not like there were any strangers. I haven’t reached celebrity status.” Kanute still raised his profile in his sport’s rabid community by completing Saturday’s 1,500-meter swim, 40-kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run in Ben Kanute 1:46:36. A day earlier, he traversed half those distances in 58:26 to win the sprint title. “Once the races started, I just focused on doing what I had to do,” said Kanute, a sophomore at Arizona. “I felt pretty good throughout the weekend and was able to keep a strong pace going and really stay up front.” Kanute had watched other triathlons on the Tempe bike and running courses, although he was experiencing the city’s Town Lake for the first time. His victories figure to propel Kanute into a busy upcoming stretch. He’s set to compete in the St. Anthony’s Triathlon in St. Petersburg, Fla., in two weeks before preparing for a June 1 world championship qualifier in Dallas. One day after that race, Kanute plans to travel to France to train and compete with a French grand prix triathlon team. “I took Spanish [at Marmion], so it’s going to be a little bit of an adventure for me to go to France,” Kanute said. In search of stability: Moving Thursday’s Suburban Christian Conference tennis meet against Aurora Central Catholic from its outdoor courts to the Regole Fieldhouse literally brought the

SOFTBALL: ROSARY 6, WHEATON ACADEMY 1

Smoczynski, Royals shut down Warriors By IAN MATTHEWS editorial@kcchronicle.com WEST CHICAGO – Not much was going to keep Rosary pitcher Cara Smoczynski from shutting down Wheaton Academy on Monday. The Royals, who’ve already had 13 games washed out this season, took Smoczynski’s lead in a 6-1 win over the Warriors, spoiling the home opener for Wheaton Academy on its newly renovated field. In a steady rain and muddy field, Smoczynski was masterful from the outset, allowing only three hits while striking out 12 batters. Wheaton Academy’s lone run was unearned as Smoczynski held Marissa Gagliano, a Radford recruit, hitless on the afternoon. “This weather has been pretty crazy. Our tournament last weekend was canceled so we really wanted to play,” Smoczynski said. “We came out excited and just wanted to get it done. It was really sloshy, but I focused on my weight transfer making sure I had my weight back so I could explode off the mound.” The Royals got on the board in the second after Madelyn Hemmerich doubled in Elayne Young that gave Rosary (3-4, 1-2 SCC Blue) an early 1-0 lead. Meanwhile, Smoczynski was dealing through the first three innings, striking out six of the first nine Warriors’ batters, including four in the second. Megan Herring reached on a dropped-third strikeout call that allowed Smoczynski to strike out four in the inning. Four straight hits put Rosary up 4-0 in the third after RBI hits from Smoczynski and Katherine Witte. “The conditions were the same for both teams and we haven’t had 12 strikeouts all year, let alone in one game,” Wheaton Academy coach

“We’ve fallen a little behind in conference so this is a big win for us. We have a big goal – we’ve always been 9-11 in conference – so we want to beat that this year.”

your source.

Cara Smoczynski Rosary pitcher

Paul Gagliano said. “They played better in the elements than we did and they handled it better than we did. They scored three runs in the third and we didn’t answer.” The Warriors (2-3, 2-1 SCC Gold) scored their lone run in the fourth after Sarah McClain reached on an error and eventually came around to score on Herring’s two-out, opposite field double. The hit was the first of the game for Wheaton Academy as Smoczynski, a Wisconsin-Whitewater recruit, was in control. “They came ready to play today. I’m just pleased with Smo – she was ready to pitch last week and the weather just didn’t cooperate. So maybe the extra days off to prepare helped her,” Rosary coach John Kazmierczak said. “The girls on both sides of the ball played pretty solid defense considering the conditions.” Witte and Young were each 3 for 4 on the day as the Royals finished with 11 hits against Wheaton Academy starter Michelle Ridderhoff. Herring had two of Wheaton Academy’s three hits on the afternoon. “We’ve fallen a little behind in conference so this is a big win for us,” Smoczynski said. “We have a big goal – we’ve always been 9-11 in conference – so we want to beat that this year.”

BATAVIA – Offensive regulars Brandon Heimbuch and Andrew Schreiber combined to score seven goals Monday before the Geneva boys lacrosse team re-organized its attack. The Vikings tried to be more diverse in the latter stages of a 15-0 victory against host Batavia at Rotolo Middle School. “A lot of the kids that don’t get a lot of playing time or don’t get to score throughout the year scored today,” Geneva coach Rick Nobregas said. “The defense was just shut-down. [Batavia] didn’t get many shots on goal at all.” Batavia is in its first season in the Illinois High School Lacrosse Associ-

The Bulldogs can hope for the kind of progress the rival Vikings are starting to see. “Just like last year, we’re getting better every game. Last year, it took us until about midseason until we got to peak,” Nobregas said. “They just start out slow, but now you can see the momentum going.”

NOTEWORTHY

The

Chargers making major splash Aurora Central Catholic’s football team drew attention in the fall by qualifying for the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. The Chargers’ baseball team is in the midst of a similarly dramatic breakthrough. ACC entered the week with a 12-1 record after sweeping Genoa-Kingston in a doubleheader Saturday. This for a program that went 14-18 last season and has not had a winning season since 2006. First-year ACC coach Sean Bieterman acknowledges being somewhat amazed by the team’s sizzling play. “A little bit, in terms of what our record is right now,” said Bieterman, also the school’s athletic director. “But we knew we had some talent. We knew we had some good kids returning that were going to work hard.” The 12-1 start was the best for ACC since the 1995-96 season, Bieterman said. The Chargers have been led by a strong pitching staff that features Matt Miller, Andrew Bruss, Matt Rahn, Michael Filder and Michael O’Donnell. Offensively, Bieterman said Phil Schuetz, Jake McCarthy, Steve Belovich and Shawn Soris are leading the way. “I’m especially proud of Soris,” Bieterman said. “He’s caught every game for us. He’s just a battler. He competes. It’s how he was on the basketball court, too. He makes the most of what he has. Smart kid who works hard.” Leading up to Monday’s

game, ACC had won 11 straight after falling to Oswego in the second game of the season. Maintaining the streak this week figured to be treacherous. Depending on the weather, ACC could play as many as eight games this week, including the Chargers’ scheduled participation in a wood-bat tournament this weekend. Games slated for Monday and today with St. Edward loomed especially large. Bieterman said St. Edward and Chicago Christian project as the Chargers’ stiffest challengers in the Suburban Christian Conference Gold race. Bieterman said ACC has been plucky in pulling out wins on days when it does not play especially well, but he thinks the Chargers still have another gear.

“We’re happy with where we’re at, but we’re even more excited about where we can be when we start playing at our full potential,” Bieterman said.

Battllin’ Bulldogs Like ACC, Batavia is enjoying mostly smooth sailing, but that doesn’t mean Batavia coach Matt Holm doesn’t have some tough decisions to make. Figuring out what to do in right field has been particularly tricky. Aaron Hurd figured to hold down that spot but missed some time with an ankle injury. Hurd has been productive since returning, but Colby Green impressed Holm with his performance in Hurd’s absence. “Colby’s been doing a real nice job. … He’s gotten some

really nice, RBI hits,” Holm said. “We’re going to let them battle it out a little.” The decision is simplified when Green – one of the Bulldogs’ top pitchers – is on the mound. Holm said Green is also capable of playing at third base or elsewhere in the infield.

North Star commits St. Charles North pitcher Joe Barsanti committed last week to compete collegiately for North Central College, the Division III program in Naperville.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM A window shelf that holds a collection of cobalt-blue bottles attracts attention, so many new collectors buy their bottles by color. Most early bottles were made of pale-blue or aqua glass. It was difficult to produce clear glass in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Early bottles were blown, sometimes shaped by the maker or sometimes blown into an iron mold. A bottle had small imperfections caused by tiny pieces of sand or other ingredients. Dark colors were rare. By 1880, the quality of glass was improving. Whittle marks and tiny bubbles were seen less often, and chemicals were added to make colored glass smooth. Amber, green, brown, lightblue and clear bottles were made to hold medicine, whiskey, soda, ink, mineral water and canned food. The most popular cobalt-blue color was made by adding cobalt oxide to the glass mixture. The automatic bottling machine came into use in 1903, so cobalt-blue bottles seen most often today were machine-made. Many held medicine, like Bromo-Seltzer or Milk of Magnesia. These are very inexpensive. But old cobalt bottles made earlier can be worth hundreds of dollars. Buying tips: Old bottles probably have pontil marks (a pontil mark is a scar on the bottom), flaws and raised lettering identifying the contents or maker. Many new cobalt-blue figural bottles have been made. Bottles marked “Wheaton” on the bottom are new. There are cobalt-blue bottles in stores today that hold water or vodka.

*** Q: When I was going through my father’s belongings after he died, I found a framed photo of a horseracing scene above an uncirculated U.S. $2 bill with gold embossing. The framed pieces are titled “The $2 Bill,” and between the photo and the bill are these words: “The two-dollar bill with its unique gold embossing and portrait of a smiling Thomas Jefferson was the favorite of Nevada sportsmen and countless American horseracing enthusiasts. It was retired from circulation in 1966 never again to adorn the winner’s circle.” The bill shows it’s from “Series of 1928 F” and the signatures on it are “W.A. Julian” and “John W. Snyder.” Can you tell me anything about this? A: The $2 bill was introduced in the United States in 1862. All U.S. paper currency was produced in its current size starting with Series 1928, and the bills began circulating in 1929. The $2 bill was discontinued by the U.S. Treasury in 1966, but it was reintroduced in 1976. The bills have not been widely used by the American public, but they’re favorites at horseracing tracks where the minimum bid is $2. The signatures on your bill indicate that it was issued between 1946 and 1949, when William Alexander

An uncirculated $2 bill the series and age of yours could sell for about $35. We spotted another framed collage like yours mounted with a Series 1963 A $2 bill.

When I lit the candle, it would heat the water and turn it into steam. The steam went through a small pipe to the water in the boat and propelled the boat forward. I think the toy was

A: Your toy boat has several different names. Most common is the name “pop-pop boat,” but it’s also called a “puf-puf boat.” Its history dates back to France in the 1880s, but it was patented by Frenchman Thomas Piot in 1891. Heat is created with either a candle or a small oil burner. The toys were popular playthings in the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s, but they lost favor when plastic toys took over the market. Collectors hunt for toys like yours, but they don’t pay more than $15 to $25 for a used boat. If yours were in its original and unopened package, it could sell for up to $50. *** Q: I would like some information about my grandfather clock. It was made by by J.J. Welsh from Heton Lehole, Scotland (not sure of the spelling). I have tried to look up the name of the clockmaker and the town but have had no luck. The clock must be about 200 years old. A previous owner painted the clock’s face plate, which was rusted out, so the face is not original. A: Your clock may have been made by John James Welch, a clockmaker who worked in Hettonle-Hole, Durham County, England, from 1877 to 1884. His last name is sometimes spelled “Welsh.” He worked in Seaham Harbour, also in

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. Chevron and the United States Golf Association (USGA) are bringing science to life by showing how STEM studies play a big role in the game of golf. This page is the third in a series of special Kid Scoop pages created through this partnership.

In professional and amateur golf, the head of the club can be no more than 2.8 in (7.1 cm) high and 5 in (12.7 cm) wide. The volume can be no larger than 28.07 cubic inches (460 cubic centimeters).

Measuring the height and width of a club is straightforward. But how do you measure the volume? To find out read the Scientist’s Notebook. STEM workers typically use metric measurement because it is internationally accepted and understood.

Two Dimensions

Interestingly, the USGA uses the British Imperial System of measurem – which measurement includes inches, feet yard – in their and yards measurements, because measurem h of golf’s history and tradition. tradition After all, the game did get its start in British Isles. the Britis

Three Dimensions

the When we use a ruler to measure g in length of a line, that is measurin area one dimension. Measuring the in two of a flat surface is measuring is dimensions. Measuring in 3-D called measuring something’s volume.

The Ancient Greek mathematician, ematician, Archimedes, discovered that the volume of an object can be determined by measuringg the change in water level (displacement) when an object is placed in it.

At tthe At hhee U USGA SG SG GA AT Test Center, tth he cl cclub lub ub hhead ead is attached ea the to a shaft which is mounted to hold the club head in the exact location needed for an accurate measurement. The club is then submerged and the level of displacement is measured.

STEM Connection: If a golf club had a targeting laser that lined up a golfer’s shot, a player could get a better score even with poor aiming skills. As technology improves golf equipment, it is important to have rules which keep the game a challenge of skill.

A hollow club head distributes the weight of the club along its outside edges (perimeter). When the club hits the golf ball, the club is less likely to turn. If a club turns when it hits a golf ball, it can change the direction the ball will fly, and the ball will not go as far. STEM Zone content on this page is provided through a partnership with Chevron and the USGA.

Dr. Matt Pringle’s knowledge of science got him the job of studying how golf clubs and golf balls work. He uses what he learns in these studies to help write the rules for equipment used in the game of golf.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

– United Feature Syndicate

HOROSCOPE By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – The year ahead could bring about growth in your material hopes and expectations. Several advantageous opportunities could develop in unexpected quarters. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – To achieve some of your bigger objectives, you might have to do things in a circuitous way. Just be sure not to charge into walls, hoping they will crumble on impact. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Argumentative individuals will frustrate you, but the solution is obvious. Don’t involve yourself with companions who overreact to a difference of opinions. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take nothing for granted in both your commercial and personal dealings. If you play things too loose, you might think you have an agreement, when all you’ve got is a maybe. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – To get along well with someone who is pertinent to your plans, it might be necessary for you to make some concessions. Failing to do so could bring things to a halt. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – When sharing a job with others, be sure that no one person has more work to do than the others. Each must do his or her share. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be prepared to operate on your own if it becomes necessary. A friend upon whom you can usually depend might let you down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Be a good sport and pick up all the pieces after someone’s temper tantrum. This person needs to be consoled, not chastised. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – It’s rarely a good idea to get angry with someone just because he or she disagrees with you. It’s important to keep an open mind and a forgiving heart. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Guard against inclinations to suddenly change course, especially when your goal is within reach. A shift in direction will do nothing except take you off track. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you are not successful, it isn’t due to a lack of good ideas. Although your imagination is excellent, your implementation might not be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Be careful that you do not trip over your own shoelaces. The only obstacles in your path are the ones you put there yourself. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If it’s up to you to make plans for a get-together with friends, give thought to who is involved. Don’t invite anyone who hasn’t been getting along with everyone else.

Louis-Dreyfus plays the most frustrated ‘veep’ who ever served By HANK STUEVER The Washington Post “Veep,” HBO’s wickedly delicious comedy about a vice president vainly trying to advance her brand and gain some political mojo in Washington, is mostly filmed in the drabbest possible warehouse in a Maryland suburb that is known for its utopian master-planning. A visitor becomes hopelessly lost in its sylvan splay of strip malls and office parks. It turns into your own work of improv comedy to follow the Google Maps and get to the set. “Yeah, really,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus says, closing the door to her trailer, which sits in a crammed, fenced-off parking lot humming with generators. “It’s sort of fitting, isn’t it?” she asks with that half-sarcastic sass that you recognize in the characters she’s played. “We’re pulling back the curtain on Washington and look here – pull back the curtain on showbiz and what have you got? Columbia, Md.” On a recent afternoon, Louis-Dreyfus and the rest of the cast and crew are putting in a long day finishing the last few scenes in “Veep’s” much-anticipated second season, which aired on Sunday night. During a short break, Louis-Dreyfus is wearing jeans, a snug black top and comfy boots. She is curled up in the sort of enormous reclining chair you see only in VIP trailers and man caves. From the neck up, she is veeped-out and ready for the rest of the day’s scenes, sporting the careful, chin-length tresses of her character, Vice President Selina Meyer. It’s a wig, which has the appropriate effect of making Selina’s head look a tad too large. In “Veep,” Selina is mainly the victim of her own hubris, casting about on a sea of political whim and raw ambition. Her frequent public gaffes travel at the speed of tweet, leaving her in a perpetual state of damage control. But what the public sees of Selina is nothing compared with what goes down in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where the vice president is a foul-mouthed, egocentric boss surrounded by an inept and panicky staff, all but

Actress, comedian and producer Julia Louis-Dreyfus poses on the set of “Veep” on March 22 in Columbia, Md. Louis-Dreyfus plays the vice president on the HBO comedy, which began its second season April 14. one of whom are more concerned with their careers than Selina’s political agenda. The exception would be Gary Walsh (played by Tony Hale), Selina’s loyal “bag man,” who follows at her side and anticipates her every need – whether it’s a quick squirt of hand sanitizer, the reapplication of a particular shade of coral lipstick, or whispering the name and personal details of the muckety-muck seconds before Selina shakes his hand (an act of lip-syncing the veep’s staff refers to as “Gary-oke”). “When my agent told me that [HBO was] developing a series about an unhappy vice president, I said ‘I have got to play that part,’” Louis-Dreyfus says. “I totally get this person, I totally understand her. It’s these in-between moments that are the most fun for me. I just like what happens there. I like the fakery [of Selina’s public appearances], and I like the moments where she comes out of the fakery. The rawness to it, the peeled-back-lay-

er aspect. The moments you’re not supposed to witness.” At 52, Louis-Dreyfus can afford to be picky. She doesn’t have to play Jonah Hill’s mother in a road comedy. The “Seinfeld” residuals alone would suffice; her last series, “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” ran five seasons on CBS and also made syndication. There is also the fact, which nobody ever asks her about, that she comes from a long line of Louis-Dreyfuses, a family that traces its shipping and commodities fortunes back to mid-19th-century France. The Internet insists she’ll inherit billions. She seems normal, like a woman you would actually know, thanks to the infinity loop of “Seinfeld” reruns and her tart appearances on talk shows, where she says whatever she wants and never misses a beat. She laughs a lot, mostly at herself. When she was a senior at Northwestern University, she and her boyfriend, Brad Hall, got plucked out of a comedy improv troupe and dropped into the cast of “Saturday Night Live” in the unenviable wake of the original cast. Hall and Louis-Dreyfus were married in 1987, and they still are. When “Christine” ended in 2010, British film director and TV producer Armando Iannucci was already developing a show for HBO in which the United States’s first female vice president would find herself stuck in a dead-end job. All they knew was the character was not going to be a parody of Sarah Palin, which would have been too easy and already old news. “Veep” has been a critical hit, and Louis-Dreyfus won an Emmy for it. This season, Iannucci says, the story pushes further toward the Oval Office, bringing on new characters (including Gary Cole as a preening adviser), and exposes some of Selina’s deeper vulnerabilities. “That world, being a political leader, Washington, is very similar to the life in Hollywood,” Louis-Dreyfus says. “There’s a lot to tap into, just from my own experience ... I relate to [Selina] in a lot of ways. I hope I’m not an unkind person like she can be, but I understand an aspect of her frustration. I understand her desire to succeed ... .”

Friend makes woman’s birthday unhappy Dear Abby: I was raised that a person’s birthday is his or her day to do whatever he or she wants, but my wishes are being ignored by a close friend I’ll call Wade. For the last 10 years I have ignored my birthday and tried to avoid all celebrations. I’ll take a vacation alone and have a great time. My family understands how I feel and gives me no grief. I met Wade five years ago. He’s a co-worker who has become a good friend. Wade has made it his goal in life to make me celebrate my birthday. I have tried being nice about the presents and even a surprise birthday party one year, but I really prefer to be left alone. I never told him my birth date. He had access to HR records and found out on his own. He says I am “rude” for not letting him celebrate my birthday. Other than this issue, he’s a great guy. Advice, Abby? – Non-Observant In Florida Dear Non-Observant: Wade may be a “great guy,” but he appears

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to be insensitive when it comes to respecting the feelings of others. Before your next birthday, “remind” him that you prefer not to celebrate or acknowledge it. A good friend should listen and respect the other person’s wishes instead of trying to impose his or her will, and don’t be shy about saying so. Dear Abby: I am one of four sisters. Two of my sisters, their husbands and I want to plan a trip to Italy. We do not want to include our fourth sister and her husband. None of us like him or can forgive how he abused her in the past. For her sake, we tolerate him at family gatherings and holidays, but none of us want to be with him for an extended period. We also don’t think his health would allow him to do a lot of the things we want to do on

this vacation. How do we plan this trip while excluding our sister and her husband without hurting her feelings or causing a big family blowup? Should we just not mention it? Or should we tell her she’s invited but not her husband? Please advise. – Sis In A Pickle Dear Sis: Secrets like this have a way of getting out. It might be a slip of the tongue by one of your sisters or their husbands, or some other relative who knows about the trip. Surely your sister knows how you all feel about her husband, so it won’t be a shock if you tell her she is invited but he is not. Under the circumstances I doubt if she will join you, and there will probably be hurt feelings. But sneaking this past her would be like trying to smuggle dawn past a rooster, and I don’t think it would be long before she finds out anyway. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Plantar fasciitis usually gets better on its own Dear Doctor K: I have plantar fasciitis. Can I use a drugstore product to treat it? Or should I see a doctor? Dear Reader: Plantar fasciitis is heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a ligament-like structure that runs from your heel to the ball of your foot. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Plantar fasciitis can occur when too much pressure or strain is placed on the plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis causes pain under your heel when you first get out of bed. The pain may ease as you walk around, only to return later in the day. Try to always walk in shoes that have good heel support, even when you first get out of bed (have shoes, not slippers, at the bedside). If you have to walk on very hard surfaces, such as a concrete floor, use shoes that have softer, compressible heels and soles. If such shoes give only partial relief, consider buying “orthopedic” shoes that have extra sole and heel supports. Such shoes may not be fashionable, but forget fashion for a while. Plantar fasciitis usually goes away on its own, but it can take six weeks to 12 months. To treat your heel pain, start with stretch-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff ing exercises and over-the-counter products and medications. Try this stretching exercise right now: Sit in a chair with the non-painful foot on the floor and the ankle of the painful foot on your knee. Gently pull the toes on your painful foot back until you feel a stretch in the sole. At the same time, gently massage the stretched plantar fascia with your other hand. Hold for 10 seconds. When pain first occurs, rest a few days, gently stretch your foot and apply ice. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will help reduce swelling and ease pain. Over-the-counter cushion inserts and supportive low-heeled (not flat) shoes will ease pressure on your heels. If you’re still in pain after six to eight weeks, consult a foot-care specialist. He or she may recommend physical therapy, night splints, or a steroid injection to reduce pain and inflammation. When all else fails and the symptoms persist, some doctors will recommend surgery. To my knowledge, there are few scien-

tific studies showing that any kind of surgical procedure helps. Surgery can also cause nerve damage that may lead to lasting or recurring pain. Some foot specialists have started using shock wave therapy to treat plantar fasciitis. During this treatment, high-energy sound waves are directed at the painful part of your plantar fascia. The technique is similar to the one used to break up kidney stones, but in this case, not enough energy is used to break up the heel bone. Study results have been mixed, and this remains a controversial area. Some doctors recommend botulinum toxin (Botox) treatments, and others radiation treatment. There isn’t enough evidence of benefit to recommend either treatment, except as part of a scientific study. In my experience, the simpler approaches I’ve recommended, plus the passage of time, seem to improve the symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

Teen sex causes physical and emotional trauma Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and so is my boyfriend. We have been dating for more than a year and only recently have become sexually active. We are both intelligent teens who are in love. When we have sex, he uses protection – 100 percent of the time. My parents are very protective. They were both born in Japan and do not believe in premarital sex for teens. I keep a diary, and every time my boyfriend and I have sex, I list it in the diary along with certain notes about our encounter. I keep the diary hidden under my mattress. Last night I was reading my diary to find out how many times we had sex together (27 times) and after counting, I started reading about the interesting details of each “love-making” adventure and somehow I fell asleep before I could hide my diary. You guessed it; my mother came into my bedroom to wake me for school and found my personal diary. Most moms would have left the diary alone, but not my mom. She took it and read all the juicy details and then started screaming at me that she was going to have Gary arrested for statutory rape. I told her that he was too young and couldn’t be arrested. Can you imagine how many guys would be in jail if age 16 was considered to be legal age rather than age 18? Then my mother said I can no longer go out with Gary (I’ll handle that later) and that I’m grounded until after I graduate from high school. (This threat will not become a reali-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace ty either.) I doubt seriously that a 16-year-old guy could be guilty of statutory rape of a consenting young lady aged 16. Are my doubts fact? – Nameless, Oceanside, Calif. Dear Nameless: Your mother can demand that you stop seeing Gary, and she can keep you grounded until you turn 18, but she cannot press charges against Gary for statutory rape. Gary is not considered an adult. The law states that a person must have reached the age of 18 to be legally an adult – that is, for everything except buying alcohol, for which he or she must be 21. As to the wisdom of your behavior, I’ll give you a 1 out of 2. Using protection during sex was smart. Having sex 27 times and then noting interesting details of these adventures in a diary wasn’t. You are making a serious mistake equating sex with love, and if you believe that sex will make a teen relationship stronger, you are misinformed. Teen sex causes more serious physical and emotional trauma than it creates lasting happiness. I have thousands of responses to prove it. • Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Tuesday, April 16, 2013

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Aristotle said, “All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire.” At the bridge table, you desire to make or break the contract, using reasoning and various habits – hopefully all good. And sometimes you have to go for any chance that you have. In this deal, West has to decide what to do when defending against one no-trump. He leads his fourth-highest diamond. South takes East’s nine with his king and plays the spade queen. West ducks, but is in with his ace at trick three. What should West do now? An aggressive East would have made a three-club weak jump overcall on the first round. Then South would probably have made a negative double, giving North a headache. The winning action would have been to pass, which would have netted 100 or 300. If East had balanced over one no-trump with a two-club bid, South would presumably have continued with two spades, which would have probably ended down one after the diamond-nine lead from East. Who has the diamond jack? It must be South – do not be fooled by his falsecard at trick one. East was playing third hand high and the best he could do was the nine. Similarly, South has the diamond ace, giving South 10 high-card points. So, if West leads another diamond, South must take at least nine tricks. The only chance for the defense is to run the clubs. West must shift to his club king and continue with his second club. Here, East and West take one spade and six clubs for down one.
