| GETTING STARTED

Squirrel season is off and running VIEWS Pam Otto I know it’s Groundhog Day and all but, golly, have you noticed what’s up with squirrels lately? Not so long ago, they were hopping about in minimalist survival mode: foraging, keeping an eye out for predators and trying to stay as warm and dry as their furry little bodies – and fluffy tail that doubles as a blanket and umbrella – would let them. But, boy, things sure have changed these past few days. Every squirrel in town seems to be engaged in a giant game of tag. Or is it keep away? Actually, it’s follow the leader, and it’s the Sciurus version of “The Dating Game.” In our area, midwinter is mating season for squirrels (and our nocturnal neighbors the raccoons, opossums and skunks, plus coyotes and foxes). And because squirrels are a ubiquitous part of our suburban landscape, their exploits are hard to miss. Take the other day, for instance. I received an email from alert reader Larry Bollaert, who witnessed, as he put it, really “squirrelly” activities. “These wild creatures sure put on a show for me today in my backyard,” he wrote.

Squirrels have been active in the area because it is their mating season. “I was doing my dishes and looking out the window where I have feeders for the birds and squirrels. Anyway, there were many gray squirrels ... they were going nuts chasing each other around and around, up and down the tree branches, jumping from tree to tree. Two were chasing after one and then it reversed direction and so on. I had a good laugh and couldn’t keep up with their antics.” Larry’s experience reminded me of one I’d had a few years ago, right about this time of year, when I watched four male squirrels in relentless pursuit of a female. After much chas-

ing, the female ducked into a convenient tree cavity and disappeared. The boys paused momentarily, shaking their tails, then quickly began a chase of their own as the dominant suitor did his best to shoo away the other three. Given our human perspective on courtship – wine, roses, candlelit dinners and Barry White crooning soft and low – it might seem as though male squirrels would do well to put on the brakes and pitch their woo at a slower pace. But from squirrels’ point of view, speed is of the essence. Females are receptive to male advances for only a

short period of time, as little as eight hours twice each year. And, even though many males may join in the chase, only one will be allowed to pass his genes along. Remember the big Twinkie rush that occurred back in November, when Hostess Brands announced its intentions to shut down? Sugar fiends rushed to stores to pick up their packs of crème-filled goodness. Early birds are rewarded, while latecomers were left – just like those male squirrels by the tree cavity – out in the cold. Although the Hostess scare is over, squirrel mating activity soon will near its winter peak. Keep an eye open for their easy-to-observe behaviors over the next couple of weeks, and again in June, when the second round of the reproductive cycle occurs. And remember, when you see a bunch of squirrels running across the yard ... it’s probably not Twinkies they’re after.

By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Marce Van Glabek has racked up several achievements. She was the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce’s first woman president; she has served as director of the TriCity Family Services; she has received the Golden Achievement Award for 50 years in real estate; and she is a past LEAP Award winner for her years of community service. Friday, the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce bestowed another honor to add to her list: the Charlemagne Award. “It’s just great to be part of this community,” she said upon receiving the award. “This is just great. Thank you.” Created in 1968, the lifetime achievement award honors individuals with a distinguished history of service to the community. It was based upon the “Legend of the Four Sons of Charlemagne” written by C.V. Amenoff, who served as St. Charles mayor from 1969 to 1973. The Charlemagne Award was presented to Van Glabek during the 91st annual Charlemagne Awards Dinner in the St. Charles Ballroom of the Pheasant Run Resort.

Family at home during burglary

Perlman Fine Jewelry moves to new location

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Saturday, February 2, 2013

In separate incident, garage service door damaged, window smashed By ASHLEY RHODEBECK arhodebeck@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Two homes on the city’s west side reportedly were burglarized within a week’s time, and in one case, the family was home. Residents of the 400 block of South 13th Street told police that about 4:45 p.m. Jan. 26, a man knocked on their front door and rang the doorbell. As the mother went to answer the door, she reported hearing the front door open and saw a 35- to 40-year-old man standing about a foot inside the door. “The man in broken English asked repeatedly, ‘Where’s Susanna?’ and then started backing out of the residence,” according to a St. Charles police report. The mother reportedly saw the man fumbling with something dark in his hands. As he got into the dark green Chrysler minivan parked in the driveway, she noticed her husband’s wallet was missing from a short wall adjacent to the front door, police reported. None of the residents saw the man take the wallet, police reported. The wallet reportedly was valued at $50 and contained $450 to $500, a driver’s license

and credit and debit cards. The family described the intruder as Hispanic, about 5-foot-5 and 170 pounds with a long, thin growth on his chin. He wore a bright orange Chicago Bears jersey with a heavy, black and possibly hooded coat over it. Wednesday, the buyer of a vacant home in the 1000 block of South Sixth Street discovered a door’s window pane had been smashed and someone had gained entry to the home, police reported. Nothing was reported missing, but the garage service door had been kicked in and needed to be replaced; the intruder had urinated on the floors in both bathrooms; the intruder had smoked marijuana in the upstairs bedroom, leaving burn marks on wooden shelves; beer bottles had been thrown in the fireplace; and the intruder had rummaged through personal belongings in the garage and left shoe marks and dirt on furniture, police reported. Repair costs were estimated at $200 for the window and $500 for the garage door. The burglary was believed to have happened after noon Sunday, when the buyer last visited the property, police reported.

GENEVA – Perlman Fine Jewelry has moved to a new location at the corner of State

and Third streets, at 301 W. State St., in downtown Geneva. The public is invited to attend a special ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon Thursday. Perlman

also is hosting an open house with refreshments and special grand opening sales. For information, call 630-262-9090.

Anderson and Calcano died before Diaz set the fire, the news release stated. No one was charged in the case for more than 10 years until evidence surfaced that pointed to Diaz as the killer. A beer bottle that was in Anderson’s car at the murder scene was found to contain Diaz’s DNA. The fourth man testified at the trial that Diaz was drinking a bottle of beer at the scene before the murders took place. Diaz’s next court appearance is Feb. 20, when a sentencing date will be set. Diaz faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison because he has been convicted of two murders. Diaz has been held in the Kane County jail since his arrest. “The law eventually catches up to killers,” Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said in reaction to the verdict. “There usually is evidence and a witness who knows the facts. Sometimes it requires patience, but the truth eventually is revealed.”

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – A St. Charles man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a developmentally disabled woman last year faces four to 15 years in prison. Gary R. Kluber, 67, of the 100 block of South 10th Avenue in St. Charles, pleaded guilty Friday to one count of criminal sexual assault, a Class 1 felony, according to a news release. Circuit Judge John A. Barsanti accepted the plea and set Kluber’s sentencing date for 9 a.m. April 3. The victim had been visiting her boyfriend at his home June 2, and Kluber also was present. When the victim’s boyfriend went upstairs, Kluber forced sexual contact on

the victim despite repeated requests from the victim to stop. The victim then disclosed the assault to her family, and Kluber admitted to the assault when he was interviewed by St. Charles police, according to the Gary R. release. Kluber The victim is 35 years old, but because of her developmental disabilities, she functions as a pre-adolescent. Kluber had been held in the Kane county Jail since his arrest, and his bond of $250,000 was revoked upon conviction. Kane County State’s Attorney Pam Monaco prosecuted the case.

A jury on Thursday found a former Aurora man guilty of the 1998 double murder of Brendon P. Anderson, 21, of Geneva and Elias Calcano, 21, of Aurora. The jury deliberated about three hours before convicting Jaime M. Diaz, 35, formerly of the 1600 block of North Marywood Avenue, Aurora, of two counts of first-degree murder. Around midnight March 16, 1998, Diaz went to the Aurora home of his girlfriend and found her and her sister in a car with Anderson and Calcano, according to a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office. The car belonged to Anderson. Diaz’s girlfriend previously had a relationship with Anderson, and she testified she was friends with Calcano. Diaz knew Calcano and possibly knew Anderson, the news release stated. Several hours later, Anderson, Calcano, Diaz and a fourth

man were in Anderson’s car, parked in an alley off New York Street in Aurora. Diaz and the fourth man were in the backseat, Anderson was in the driver’s seat and Calcano was in the front passenger seat. Diaz pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and shot Anderson and Calcano, once each in the back of the head, the news Jaime M. release stated. Diaz The fourth man immediately fled. Diaz then beat Calcano’s head and face with the butt of the gun, causing multiple broken bones and knocking out a tooth, according to the Kane County Sheriff’s Office. Diaz pulled the bodies from the car and left the scene on foot. Diaz returned a short time later, doused the bodies and the surrounding area with gasoline and set them on fire. Anderson’s body was badly burned. Authorities believe

St. Charles

Two face felony drug charges By NICOLE WESKERNA nweskerna@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – After a search of their home last week, two St. Charles residents face felony drug charges after police say they found marijuana and cocaine. M i c h a e l Stellwagen, 42, and Susanne L. Russell, 52, both of the 43W700 block of Fescue Court in St. Susanne L. Charles, were Russell charged Jan. 25 after police obtained a warrant and searched their home. Master Sgt. Bill Backus with the North Central Narcotics Task Force said the search turned up 1,017 grams – just over two pounds – of marijuana, and 51.2 grams – just over two ounces – of cocaine. He said police also found packaging material and two scales. He said the cocaine was valued between $2,500 and $5,000 and the marijuana was valued between $4,000 and $6,000. Stellwagen was charged with possession of a con-

trolled substance with intent to deliver, a Class X felony, and possession of cannabis with intent to deliver, a Class 2 felony. Russell was charged with possession of cannabis, a Class 3 felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony. Backus said Stellwagen was home when the warrant was executed about 10 a.m., and Russell later was Michael charged when Stellwagen she went to the St. Charles Police Department for questioning. Lt. Pat Gengler, spokesman for the Kane County Sheriff’s Office, said Stellwagen and Russell were released from the Kane County Jail after posting bail. Backus said police received information about drugs being sold out of the home and found probable cause to search the home after a short investigation. He said anyone with information about drug activity may leave an anonymous tip by visiting www.ncntf.org.

Living with pain

More information

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com

Complex regional pain syndrome, also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy, affects about 7 million people in the U.S. It is defined as pain out of proportion to an injury, usually involving the arms, legs, hands or feet and involves burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating and swelling. Treatments focus on controlling pain, but some nonprofits focus on raising money to fund research grants, such as Rocky Mountain CRPS/RSD at www.rmrsd.org.

On the Web • The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and other institutes of the National Institutes of Health – www.ninds. nih.gov • American RSDHope Organization Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com – www.rsdhope.org. • Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Tanner Saunders, 15, gives his sister, Franki Walsh, 6, a hug during a tutoring session in the kitchen of his Campton Hills home. Tanner suffers from complex regional pain syndrome. BELOW: Tanner works with a Syndrome Association – www.rsds. org. tutor in the kitchen of his home. • International Research Foundation for RSD/CRPS – www.rsdfoun“He was filling in for the dation.org. catcher, and he was hit by a foul-tipped ball just above the cleat and just below the pad,” Walsh said. “It was just a little open spot. It was not even a hard ball. It did not even leave a bruise.” Nobody thought anything of it until Tanner complained it hurt. “The next day, it hurt to have his shoe on,” said Walsh, a sense of incredulity in her voice. “The pain just kept getting worse, and nobody could tell us what it was. His dad took him to the emergency room, but nothing was broken.” Tanner went through six doctors before getting a diagnosis from a pain clinic doctor, who referred him to a pediatric neurologist. The doctor who made progress in quelling Tanner’s pain was Dr. Timothy Lubenow at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Lubenow performed 30 sympathetic nerve blocks in Tan-

ner’s spine to calm the nerves sending the endless pain messages, a spinal cord stimulator that resets the nerves and seven ketamine infusions. Ketamine is a cat tranquilizer effective in treating acute pain. “His nerves are misfiring hundreds of thousands of times, sending messages that he is in horrible pain,” Walsh said. “There is the McGill pain scale, which is what doctors use to rate pain. There is noth-

ing higher than RSD – not even childbirth.” Through Lubenow’s work, Tanner finally could put a shoe on his left foot, and in the summer of 2011, his pain was manageable. “From Memorial Day to Labor Day, I was doing everything,” Tanner said. “Playing football, baseball, swimming, roughhousing – being a kid again for the first time in a year.”

Gradually, the pain came back. Tanner is hyper-aware of the effect his condition had on his mother, stepfather, stepbrother and little sister. “It’s debilitating,” Walsh said. “It affects the whole family. ... All you can do is live today today, and worry about tomorrow tomorrow. There is no end in sight – yet.” In addition to the emotional anguish over her son’s pain are the out-of-pocket costs of $20,000 to $40,000 in a year and near constant battles with the family’s insurance carrier. At one point when the company balked at paying for a treatment Tanner needed, Walsh said, she threatened them with Christmastime coverage on the news. Within minutes, she said, insurance officials began approving Tanner’s treatment.

CAMPTON HILLS – Tanner Saunders has seven baseball trophies in his bedroom in recognition of his athletic ability, including being considered the best outfielder in his league. Aside from sports memorabilia, his wall also contains an oversized flame-orange ribbon, the color of his pain. The 15-year-old freshman at St. Charles North High School suffers from complex regional pain syndrome – also known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy – a condition in which his nerves send out a constant sensation of burning, stabbing pain. Tanner cannot play sports anymore. He was tutored at home for two years because the pain was so great, he could not go to school. “I’m in pain every day,” said Tanner, smiling. “The pain is real. From what you see on the outside – the smile is a mask. Everyone who has [this] is in pain every day unless they are in remission.” Tanner is the international spokesman for children living with pain, talking to newly diagnosed children and teens referred to him through the disease’s support groups, websites and on Facebook. Tanner said he has counseled too many children, ages 9 to 18, to count. He tries to soften the message to them; their shared condition is not curable, and they have to look to various strategies to control pain. “It can just ruin your life,” Tanner said. “I would never wish this on my worst enemy.” ••• Sports were a big part of her son’s life, said Tanner’s mother, Jackie Walsh. He was running from one practice to another, one game to another. Then he branched out from baseball to include soccer. He was a boy in perpetual motion, praised for his athletic gifts. But it came to an end April 19, 2010, after a baseball practice when he was 11.

GENEVA – After nearly 88 years in business, Erday’s, at 10 N. Third St., Geneva, will sell its inventory and close, company officials said in a prepared statement. The oldest retail store in Geneva opened May 1, 1925, when Hungarian immigrant Victor Erday Sr. opened a custom tailoring shop at 8 N. Third St., according to the Erday family that still owns the business and building. The current store was built in 1930. Owner Victor Erday declined to comment, referring all questions to the prepared statement, which describes the business as a third-generation family operated store. The statement notes the store was challenged by competition with big-box retailers combined with the recession

and a trend toward buying electronics for holiday gifts instead of clothes. The store’s closing was a surprise, said Jean Gaines, president of the Geneva Chamber of Commerce. “They have always been a tradition in Geneva, a trademark and a landmark,” Gaines said. “They always carried the classiest, best-quality men’s clothing. Men are not wearing as many suits and dressing casual, but they carried some nice casual wear.” Gaines said the chamber stores its festival materials in the Erday’s basement so chamber employees always were going through the store and buying things. “Not too long ago, I bought my husband a sweatshirt jacket,” Gaines said. “They have some very nice-looking things.” The store’s closing sale continues through the week.

GENEVA – The Western Avenue School PTO has planned its semi-annual clothing and toy sale for March 8 and 9 at the school, 1500 Western Ave.,

Geneva. The event will be from 6 to 9 p.m. March 8 and from 8 to 11 a.m. March 9. The sale will feature infant through teen-sized clothing, shoes, toys, books and more.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW: THUMBS UP/THUMBS DOWN

Photo provided

Donna Wagner (left) and Blythe Miller have made efforts to raise suicide awareness. Thumbs up: Blythe Miller and

Donna Wagner want no other parents to go through the pain of losing a child to suicide. The mothers of Batavia High School students should be preparing for their kids’ graduations this year, as both Quincee Ariel Barnes-Miller and Dylan Wagner were members of the Class of 2013. Instead, they are promoting suicide awareness. Dylan took his life during his freshman year. Months later, Quincee did the same, during her sophomore year. Miller and Wagner are part of a Suicide Awareness Community Assembly, which is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Batavia High School gym. It is impressive that they can think of others as they continue to endure such difficult times in their lives. And both are hoping their message gets through to those who need to hear it. Wagner didn’t know her son was depressed, but said he had told some friends. She plans to urge students in similar situations to tell adults who are involved, stressing how serious that message can be. Miller said she’s fighting to remove the stigma of suicide. She said she’s not ashamed to talk about how Quincee died, and that such situations never will get better if people are afraid to talk about them. We applaud their efforts. And we hope their message is heard, loud and clear.

But now, only months into his position, Lauzen is facing criticism as he is promoting Robert Sauceda, a political supporter, for a job in the county’s animal control department. Lauzen sought to hire Sauceda to lead animal control but withdrew his nomination after County Board members didn’t support

the idea. Sauceda had listed experience as an insurance agent and sales manager. Now Lauzen says that Sauceda is among the candidates being considered for a billing manager position in animal control. But even if Sauceda were the best candidate for that job, Lauzen should understand it’s questionable for him to seek to fill the spot with a political supporter of his. And given that Lauzen campaigned against cronyism, it’s puzzling he would attempt such a move – there have got to be others qualified and available to fill the

billing manager post. “Chris [Lauzen] is on the right path because there is definitely a problem and he’s addressing it,” board member Mike Kenyon said earlier this week. “But in government, we’re supposed to go based on resumes when we hire.” We are disappointed there is even an appearance that Lauzen would be engaging in something he fought against during his campaign. In filling the billing manager position, Lauzen would be wise to consider those who are adequately qualified and not tied to him politically.

BATAVIA

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Jay Moffat’s name will appear on two ballots in the April 9 consolidated election because he is seeking four-year terms on the Geneva park and library boards. Geneva Library officials requested a review of Moffat’s candidacy from the Kane County Clerk, whose office then sought a legal opinion from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office. According to a letter from civil division chief Joseph

Lulves to library and clerk officials, the clerk’s office does not have authority to issue an opinion – and it is too early to decide whether Moffat serving on two boards would be an incompatible conflict of interest. If Moffat is elected to two boards, that would be the time for a legal challenge, according to the letter. “Based on the state’s attorney’s determination that an opinion about incompatibility was premature, the library district opted to certify Mr. Moffat,” library attorney Rog-

er Ritzman said. “The library district may revisit the incompatibility issue depending on the outcome of the election.” Moffat said he is happy to be on both ballots. “It’s about serving the community,” Moffat said. “I feel I have the time, skills, knowledge and ability to serve. ... Voters will be extremely well served if I am elected.” On the park ballot, Moffat be one of three seeking two six-year terms. On the library ballot, Moffat will be one of six seeking three four-year terms.

8SOUND OFF Now illegal immigrants can get driver’s licenses in Illinois. And what do they say about getting their driver’s licenses? Oh, we can’t wait until we can get our driver’s licenses so we can drive back and forth to work, legally. Well, the fact of the matter is that they are committing a crime when they go to work anyway. They are in the country illegally, and they are not supposed to be working in our country. When we have a 10 percent unemployment rate, why are we allowing illegal immigrants to work in our country? Why are we pandering to these people and allowing them to drive in our country? Why are we treating illegal immigrants better than we treat law-abiding citizens in this country and people who work to come here legally and do the right thing legally? Why is our government suddenly so anxious to break all the laws that they took an oath of office to enforce and uphold. We have crooked police officers, gangbangers and illegal immigrants. Law-abiding citizens don’t have a chance in this country anymore.

could never win an election. You are the epitome of what Jindal ... and others are calling the stupid party. You represent suburban Illinois, not rural Illinois. Enjoy Washington. You’re there for [four] years and then back to making ice cream.

They’re out of line

I’m responding to “Don’t make stuff up” [in last week’s Sound Off]. I wholeheartedly agree. I believe there’s a certain reason to keep firearms for those who hunt and support their family with what they get, or for sport shooting. However, these gun advocates are out of line by thinking that we are against all things. We are not. I am a staunch advocate of limiting assault rifles, limiting the size of bullet clips and manufacture of

hand guns entirely.

Go to convenient care

I have to think, on “Go to the hospital” [in last week’s Sound Off], that if the doctors will not take you, senior citizens go to the convenient care, straight to the hospital. The reason why I said that is because many people are not insured. We are not here. We pay our own health insurance, but why should a senior, who has insurance, not get the care that they need, when all the ones who come in from foreign countries get freebies? I can’t see it. So seniors, take care of yourself. If you’re sick and the doctor will not take you, go to convenient care, or go to a hospital. If they can get free health care, so can you.

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – It would cost an estimated $4 million to reduce train noise along the BNSF Railway spur track that runs through the city’s east side. The Batavia City Council City Services Committee will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Batavia Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave., to discuss the results of a study that consulting engineers Rempe-Sharpe of Geneva did on what improvements would have to be made to eight crossings in order to create quiet zones. City Engineer Noel Basquin said the city has received complaints from residents in the past several years regarding train horn noise from the BNSF trains. Trains are required to blow their horns when approaching a railroad crossing not in a Federal Railroad Administration-approved quiet zone. Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke said the city received complaints last summer about people being awakened by the train horns. The $4 million price tag includes placing gates and flashing light signals at the crossings.

If you go n What: Batavia City Council City

Services Committee n When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday n Where: Batavia Government Center, 100 N. Island Ave. “It’s a fairly pricey idea to put gates at all these crossings,” Schielke said. “But I think that we are open to any idea or options. We are listening to what people are saying and looking if there are any plausible solutions.” Part of the problem, he said, is that trains start blowing their whistles “south of River Hills Cemetery, which is outside of our jurisdiction.” Basquin said quiet zones don’t guarantee a ban on trains from blowing their horns. He said the FRA requires the use of horns in emergency situations, inclement weather, power outages, signal failure and the presence of workers or trespassers. Rempe-Sharpe proposed creating three quiet zones for eight grade crossings that start at Bond Drive to the south and stop at Raddant Road at the northerly end.

Ronald McDonald House to open in Winfield Facility will give families a ‘home away from home,’ serve Delnor, CDH By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com WINFIELD – Families of children undergoing cancer treatments and other longterm medical procedures at Central DuPage Hospital and Delnor Hospital soon will have a “home away from home” in which to stay. This week, Cadence Health, the health care system that operates CDH in Winfield, Delnor in Geneva and the CDH Proton Center in War-

renville, announced it was partnering with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana to build a Ronald McDonald House facility in Winfield. The facility will feature 12 private bedrooms and bathrooms, along with a kitchen, dining room, recreational spaces and laundry facilities, according to a statement released by Cadence. It is planned to be built on Winfield Road, immediately

west of CDH, Cadence said. It is planned to open in early 2015. The announcement was confirmed by Mary Agnes Laguatan, vice president of operations for the local Ronald McDonald House Charities organization. She said the opening of the CDH Ronald McDonald House would mark the first such facility operated by the charity organization in Chicago’s western suburbs. Ronald McDonald House

KANE COUNTY COUGARS

Cub and get it

Cougars’ fans get early pulse on Cubs’ future By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Cubs farmhand Jorge Soler blasted a towering home run at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in September as a member of the Peoria Chiefs. The Cougars signed a two-year player-development contract with the Cubs a few weeks later, prompting baseball fans throughout the region to wonder whether Soler would make Fifth Third his home launching pad in 2013. Reporters leaned in Friday as Cubs vice president of scouting and player development Jason McLeod addressed the possible haul of prospects that would descend on Geneva in two months. Submitting index cards, a throng of fans soon asked the same during the Q&A portion of the Cougars’ “Meet the Cubs” party. McLeod’s answer: While there will be talent in the western suburbs this season, he can’t name names, or even durations. “Ultimately, the players let you know when they’re ready to go,” McLeod said. “But we’re certainly not going to hold anyone back if he’s just dominating the competition and he’s not being challenged and he’s meeting the things that we lay out for him as a player.” If the natural minor league progression holds, several 2012 contributors from the Cubs’ affiliate at Short-A Boise (Idaho) will come to Kane County for their next professional seasons. The Hawks advanced to the Northwest League championship last season under manager Mark Johnson, who was promoted to the same role with the Cougars. Short of hearing them from Fifth Third public address announcer Kevin Sullivan on Opening Day April 4,

Jason McLeod, Cubs senior vice president of scouting and player development, mingles Friday during a Meet the Cubs event at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva.

Save the dates Here’s a look at a few important dates for the 2013 Cougars season: April 4: Opening Day vs. Quad Cities at 6:30 p.m. May 5: First Sunday Funday featuring former White Sox organist Nancy Faust April 21-23: Visit from longtime former Cubs affiliate Peoria June 18: Midwest League All-Star Game at Fifth Third Field, Dayton (Ohio) Sept. 2: Regular-season finale vs. Peoria at 1 p.m. the names on fans’ lips before and during dinner in the stadium super suite included Albert Almora (outfield) and Dan Vogelbach (first base). Baseball America recently tabbed Almora as the Cubs’ No. 2 prospect, one slot behind shortstop Javier Baez, who also spent time in Peoria last season before advancing to High-A Daytona (Fla.). McLeod and director of player development Brandon Hyde acknowledged the excitement swirling around the Kane County partnership, especially given Geneva’s proximity to Chicago.

As Cubs executives – namely president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer – continue to preach winning through the player development-centric “Cubs Way,” McLeod still stressed the importance of patience in the minor leagues. “Certainly, the Kane County Cougars want to provide a very good experience for families, but it’s not only about that. You guys want to win, too, and set off fireworks at the end of the game,” McLeod said. “We want winning ballplayers in the organization, so certainly

winning is definitely part of development. “For us, it’s not going to trump their individual skills that we need them to work on. Because ultimately, we’re trying to win 45 miles up the road from here. It’s a balance, for sure.” A few more tidbits from Friday’s event: Come closer: McLeod and Hoyer worked with Epstein in Boston, where Epstein was general manager of World Series-winning clubs in 2004 and 2007. With the Cubs attempting a similar makeover to a longstanding losing culture, McLeod discussed another important parallel between the Cubs and Red Sox. A handful of Red Sox affiliates are close to Boston, including Short-A Lowell (Mass.), Double-A Portland (Maine) and Triple-A Pawtucket (R.I.).

It was kind of a lucky shot. It just fell in the hoop.” Swanson converted the free throw to put the North Stars (12-8, 5-4 UEC River) up by three, then made two more free throws with 19 seconds left to

extend the lead to 44-39. Strittmatter, who led Batavia with 15 points and nine rebounds, scored on a rebound with eight seconds remaining to cut the deficit to three. North used a legal out-ofbounds pass to get the ball back into play to Jake Ludwig, who was fouled with six seconds left. Batavia senior guard Mike Rueffer injured his left

Classmate Justin Stanko, a 6-6 center, had all six of his points and five of his seven rebounds in the first half. Senior guard Quinten Payne contributed 11 points to the winning effort. In the second half, though, it was 6-3 junior forward Erik Miller who did most of the damage for North. He scored all nine of his points after halftime, mostly on aggressive drives to the hoop. “He’s had some very good practices as of late,” Poulin said. “He hasn’t got extended playing time, but when he gets minutes, you notice him for the right reasons. He’s earned more time just through his effort and his attitude.” Miller converted an oldfashioned three-point play midway through the fourth quarter to give North a seemingly comfortable seven-point lead, but the Bulldogs scored the final seven points of regulation. “We fought well and did a lot of good things in the second half to get back in it,” Nazos said. “This team all year has bounced back, practiced hard, gotten better, and done things and I think it’s going to pay off for us somewhere down the road.”

Cougars’ season ticket sales have climbed ‘a large percentage’ • MEET THE CUBS Continued from page 18

By the time players ascended to the big leagues, McLeod said, they “weren’t as deer-in-the-headlights” because they had excelled in the shadows of the major market they were aspiring to reach. Hyde experienced a similar arrangement during nine seasons as a coach in the Miami Marlins system. “For a young player having people come in and evaluate him, it can be nerveracking at times,” Hyde said. “To kind of get used to that is a huge deal, when the GM or whoever it may be is there on a Tuesday night and they see them sitting behind home plate. If you can get used to that, the game becomes a lot

easier. And just to have that access of the energy of the big league club as well as the major league guys, major league front office, it can only benefit the player.” Big fan: Mark Regole sported a blue Marmion alumni hoodie and a Mesa, Ariz., Cubs spring training cap at Friday’s banquet, but the Geneva resident certainly had plenty of black, green and gold Cougars apparel on reserve at home. Regole has been a Cougars season ticket holder since the club moved to Geneva from Wausau, Wis., before the 1991 season. Like many, his rationale for following the team – regardless of its big league affiliation – stemmed from convenience. Before the Cougars arrived, Regole traveled to Wrigley Field several

“For a young player having people come in and evaluate him, it can be nerve-racking at times.To kind of get used to that is a huge deal, when the GM or whoever it may be is there on a Tuesday night and they see them sitting behind home plate.

times each season. “I told myself there’s no sense of going to Chicago anymore,” Regole said. “I might as well just stay here, man.” Last month, Cougars general manager Curtis Haug said season ticket sales had climbed by “a large percentage” from last season. Full season, 70-game rates cost

$665 for a box seat and $542.50 for a reserved bleacher seat. For more information or to purchase tickets, call the Cougars at 630-232-8811 or log on to www.kccougars.com. Extra bases: Johnson, who spends offseasons in Georgia, played part of eight major league seasons as a catcher. He made his MLB debut

with the White Sox in 1998, and played 302 games with the club. “It’s kind of like a ‘Welcome home’ in a way,” he said of his coming to the Cougars. “From a long time ago.” ... Cubs manager Dale Sveum and first base coach Dave McKay keep offseason homes near Phoenix, and worked informally with several Cubs prospects during the Arizona Fall League. If the Cubs have a home matinee before a Cougars night game, both could be spotted at Fifth Third, along with other Cubs coaches. “I guarantee that on their own, they’re going to be making trips with no fanfare. Just making a trip to come see somebody,” Hyde said. ... The Jesse White Tumblers will perform after each Saturday home game from May 4 to Aug. 31.

ST. CHARLES – Kyle Swanson made sure things started and ended well for the St. Charles North boys basketball team Friday in a 45-44 overtime victory against Batavia on senior night. In between, the visiting Bulldogs rallied from a 13-point deficit to force the extra session in the battle of Upstate Eight Conference River Division rivals. “I think Batavia came out the second half and turned it up a notch as far as their effort or intensity,” North coach Tom Poulin said. “We kind of took a step backwards and it ended up just being a dogfight. Luckily, we pulled it out.” That was largely because of Swanson, a 6-foot-6 senior forward. With less than a minute to play in overtime and the score tied at 39, Swanson took the ball strong to the basket, hitting the go-ahead basket and drawing a foul call on Zach Strittmatter, who appeared to be in good position to draw a charge. “We were struggling,” Swanson said. “We couldn’t

knee during the play, causing some Bulldog fans to react angrily at the officiating. “I have no idea how it is,” Batavia coach Jim Nazos said of the injury. “The big test will be in the morning. The trainer thought there was no ligament damage.” Ludwig made the first of two free throws, which proved crucial as Jake Pollack (13 points) drilled a long 3-pointer at the buzzer for the Bulldogs (9-11, 3-6). Early on, it didn’t appear the North Stars would need any late heroics. Swanson put back a pair of rebounds early to give North a 7-2 lead. He then evaded an obstacle in the form of a Batavia defender on a drive with one second left in the first quarter to put the North Stars up 15-6. Early in the second quarter, he hit a right baseline jumper after snaring another offensive board to extend the lead to 13. “I think we were feeding off the energy for senior night,” Swanson said. “All the seniors were really fired up and we were working together really well.” Swanson finished with 13 points and five rebounds.

Soto to be part of new Geneva HOF inductees Ray Soto said he still distinctly recalls the goosebumps as he weighed in at Assembly Hall in Champaign upon qualifying for the IHSA state wrestling finals as a senior. There’s a good chance those goosebumps return for Soto tonight. Soto, the lone IHSA wrestling state champion in Geneva history, is set to be inducted into the Vikings’ Athletic Hall of Fame at halftime of tonight’s boys basketball game against Quincy. A Class of 1990 Geneva graduate, Soto defeated an opponent from Kewanee in the 171-pound championship bout by a 10-6 score. The title capped a 36-5 senior season for Soto. “It’s something that I’ll never forget,” Soto said. “I can pretty much recall from the minute I got down to the state finals, all the way through. It was a unique experience, and one that I almost had the opportunity to do twice, but I hurt my knee my junior year, and the guy I beat early in the season placed third, so I would like to think I would have qualified twice or possibly won it twice, but who’s to know? But I remember it as if it was yesterday.” Soto said the discipline demanded in wrestling helped set him on a course that included a stint in the Marine Corps and, later, roles as a firefighter in St. Charles and his current position as a paramedic for a private ambulance company in Elgin. Soto said he continued wrestling for a few years after his graduation for his Marines base team in Japan, but it’s been about 20 years since wrestling a competitive match. He certainly doesn’t miss fretting about his weight. “The sport goes from November to February so you’ve got Thanksgiving and Christmas and all that, so trying to stay at weight and keep weight off [was the hardest part],” Soto said. “There were times you’d be a pound or two overweight so you’d have to put the sauna suit on and sweat a couple pounds out.” In addition to wrestling, Soto competed in football and track and field for the Vikings. Soto, who lives in Geneva

PREP ZONE Jay Schwab and has returned to school for a nursing program at Waubonsee Community College, said he was “completely emotional” after winning the state title under coach Jon Schaus. More than two decades later, his place in Vikings history is solidified. “I’m actually really excited,” Soto said. “My girlfriend had told me about the induction on my birthday last year and it’s one of those things, it was a shock. I’m not really in to being on display. I told my girlfriend, I don’t like to feel like I brag about anything, and she said it was an accomplishment I should be proud of. I’m kind of excited, but being in front of a crowd kind of makes me nervous sometimes. I’m sure it’s going to be wonderful experience.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: STREAMWOOD 44, GENEVA 43 (OT)

By MICHAEL GIBBS editorial@kcchronicle.com

“With 1:40 left we let them run almost a minute off the clock. Our basketball IQ went down the drain right there,” Ralston said. “We lost our urgency, had no clue. “Guys were looking at other people Nate Navigato to step up and do something. We tried running a couple of different sets [on the final possession], but didn’t execute.” Geneva defeated Streamwood in a blowout earlier this season. “We made some timely shots and made some free throws when we had to [Friday],” Sabres coach Tim

Jones said. “We are starting to get our act together.” Geneva used an 11-0- run that bridging the first and second quarters to take a 21-8 lead that was cut to 25-17 at the half. But the Sabres fought back to take a brief, 33-32 lead late in the third quarter before the quarter ended tied at 35. “We had a 10-point lead we frittered away,” Ralston said. “We had open looks late, didn’t hit them. We played tight on defense, uncharacteristically poor defense when we gave them easy baskets or fouled them.” “We retained our composure,” Jones said. “We have not always done that this year.” In the fourth, Chris Parril-

li’s 3-pointer gave the Vikings a 38-35 lead, and they hung on to the advantage for several minutes as both teams looked out of synch offensively. Streamwood finally scored on Zack Harris’s putback with 3:17 to play in the quarter to cut the lead to 38-37. The Sabres tied it at 38 on a Harris’ free throw with 1:20 to play. The Vikings then turned the ball over and the Sabres held it for the remainder of regulation, settling for a Harris’ off balance jumper at the buzzer that was nowhere close to falling. Navigato led Geneva with 22 points and Parrilli added eight. Siewert and Harris topped Streamwood scorers with 11 points each.

Sparked by a personal 5-0 run from freshman Kirsten Madsen, scoring became contagious for the Eagles as they overcame a rough start to defeat visiting Wheaton Academy 48-41 to clinch the first outright Suburban Christian Conference Gold championship in program history. “This [championship] means that our girls have been working their butts off,” Aurora Christian coach Jerry Tokars said, “and they’re starting to understand the value of doing that and what they’re capable of doing.” With the score tied at 28 at the end of third quarter, Aurora Christian (17-8, 7-3 SCC Gold) immediately turned the momentum when Madsen connected for a long 3-pointer from the left wing. She then stole the in-

“This [championship] means that our girls have been working their butts off and they’re starting to understand the value of doing that and what they’re capable of doing.” Jerry Tokars Aurora Christian girls basketball coach

bounds pass and scored a layup, which put the hosts ahead, 33-28, prompting a Wheaton Academy timeout. “We kept our focus,” Tokars said. “We said in the locker room that they’re going to come out and give us their best, but we had so many people step up and nobody was afraid to take shots.” Especially Madsen, who finished with seven points, all coming in the second half. “This means a lot,” Madsen said. “We’re so excited to

make team history and we do this all for God. We played as a team and pulled out a great win.” Aurora Christian scored nine straight points to start the fourth quarter, but Wheaton Academy (6-17, 2-5) didn’t go down without a fight. The Warriors twice trimmed the deficit to two points in the final 2:38, but Aurora Christian held off the rally by converting a pair of free throws and getting a basket from junior Alyssa Andersen. “The coaches kept us pumped up and in the game and that helped us play together,” Madsen said. “We played hard until the end.” Wheaton Academy’s boxand-1 defense in the early going bewildered the Eagles and forced them into poor shots, allowing the Warriors to pull out to a 6-2 lead and later an 11-4 advantage at the end of the first period after a Charissa Robinson basket. Aurora Christian made a quick adjustment at the start of the second quarter, though, and pieced together

a 7-0 run highlighted by a 3-pointer and short jumper from senior Alex Hultine to tie the game at 11. Both teams then traded baskets down in the final 4:16 and found themselves deadlocked at 18 going into halftime. “Everybody that got in there did a great job,” Tokars said. “We’ve been preaching team all year long and we really showed that tonight.” Andersen finished with a

team-high 16 points for Aurora Christian while Hultine added 15. Sophomore Natasha Brown grabbed 22 rebounds. Robinson led Wheaton Academy with 15 points. “We battled and I thought we played a good game, and it was even at the end of three quarters,” Warriors coach Beth Mitchell said. “But we just had some mental breakdowns down the stretch and that ultimately hurt us.”

STREAMWOOD – The Geneva boys basketball team was put on upset alert on the road against Streamwood Friday in Upstate Eight Conference River Division action. But the Vikings didn’t receive the message in time, suffering a shocking 44-43 loss in overtime. “We got outhustled at the end, played very passively in the second half,” Vikings coach Phil Ralston said. “Streamwood has good basketball players, and that is what will happen to you if you take them lightly.” In overtime, the team’s traded 3 pointers, one by Geneva’s Nate Navigato that was

matched by Streamwood’s Jacob Siewert to tie the score at 41-all. Streamwood (9-17, 2-8 UEC River) took a 42-41 lead on a free throw by Ryan Dichoso. The Vikings then missed a quick shot, and the Sabres rebounded the ball and played keep away until Siewert was fouled. He calmly made two free throws for a 44-41 Sabres’ lead with 51 seconds to play. Geneva (15-6, 6-4) held the ball – with a couple timeouts thrown in – until Navigato was fouled with 16 seconds on the clock. He missed the front end of a one-and-one, but the Vikings retained possession and Cam Cook scored on a layup with five seconds left. Streamwood inbounded the ball and ran out the clock.

AURORA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Marmion boys basketball team overcame a six-point halftime deficit Friday to secure a 63-54 win against Glenbard South in a nonconference game. With five minutes left in the third quarter, senior Alex Theisen knocked down a 3-pointer to give the Cadets (8-14) a three-point lead. Marmion held onto the lead with clutch free-throw shooting late to pull out the victory. Theisen (16 points) joined Colin Kavanaugh (14) and Jordan Glasgow (12) in double figures. Glenbard South (6-14) established an early lead with the strong inside play of senior center Tim Marshall, who led the Raiders with 11 points. But after halftime, Marmion went to a full-court press to slow down the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense. Glenbard South coach Wade Hardtke credited the Cadetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pressure for chang-

ing the momentum of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They turned it up a notch, their pressure got at us and we turned the ball over in some key situations,â&#x20AC;? Hardtke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It disrupted us offensively down the stretch. We made some poor decisions and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to knock down some shots late.â&#x20AC;? Late in the fourth quarter, the Raiders cut their deficit to one thanks to a 3-pointer by junior Alex Jeske. But the Cadets extended their lead on four straight free throws by Glasgow. The sophomore shook off two misses from the free-throw line earlier in the quarter to step up in the clutch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was nervous after I missed my first two â&#x20AC;Ś but it went away,â&#x20AC;? Glasgow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told myself, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I can make these in late-game situations.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Glasgow said coach Ryan Paradise was disappointed in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy in the first half. Paradise said the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved rebounding and shot selection to cement the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really we stressed our defensive rebounding. [The Raiders] were getting a lot of offensive rebounds in the first half,â&#x20AC;? Paradise said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, shot selection, not turning it over and defensive rebounds won the game for us.â&#x20AC;?

Geneva hits record score to win regional KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE

GENEVA – The Geneva girls gymnastics team captured its own regional Friday with a program-record team score of 146.275. “Absolutely fantastic,” Vikings coach Kim Hostman said. “We have been working really hard to be more consistent and concentrating on sticking beam. We started well in the other events and really pulled through.” Geneva boasted three of the five all-around qualifiers who advanced to Tuesday’s Glenbard West Sectional. Senior Ashley Puff (37.15) was allaround champion, followed by Dominique Brognia (second) and McKenna Merges (fourth). Wheaton Warrenville South (136.575) was runnerup in the team race. Geneva broke its previous program high of 145.65, set last month. The Vikings’ other sectional qualifiers included Megan Beitzel (vault), Jenna Ginsberg (vault) and Grace Ginsberg (bars, beam and floor exercise) Athletes from the St. Charles co-op – which won Thursday’s York Regional – and Batavia will join the Geneva contingent at sectionals.

Have you felt like you’ve worked hard in this room every day for four years?

I can say that I have. Every single day, I’ve never

Since you guys wrestle such a tough schedule, how does that mute the move from 2A to 3A?

It doesn’t matter what class we’re in. We’re here to dominate, and that’s what we’re going to do.

Seven or eight freshmen have been starting at times, and they look to have fit right in.

Yeah, this year’s been a surprise since we’ve had a bunch of freshmen on the team. They’ve really stepped up from what we thought that they were going to be. They stepped up in the practice room and in those

big matches in tournaments. They’re really wrestling well. They’re getting a lot out of practice.

And you knew quite a few of them from St. Charles and SCN Youth Wrestling, right?

A lot of them have actually been here through SCN and all that, so I’ve known them since we’ve been little, and it’s nice being in the room again with them.

How do you go about prepping for the regional since you see so much out-of-state competition?

We haven’t seen a lot of Illinois teams besides the Dvorak [tournament], but I mean, it’s going to be exciting. We can’t wait to start it off.

It’s flu season, but I caught the ‘Downton Abbey’ bug

Wow, who knew “Downton Abbey” would be so addicting? Sure, I’d heard the buzz about the now two-year-old award-winning PBS show that follows an aristocratic English family and its servants – a series starring the amazing Maggie Smith that some compare to the old “Upstairs Downstairs” (originally aired by BBC and PBS during the 1970s). I love historical fiction – particularly those set in the early 1900s. But I had no idea this would be so delicious a feast until last weekend, when I finally got around to watching episode one of season one. I mentioned my new fascination on Facebook and my friend Sarah commented, “OMG – I’m so obsessed! I have the first two seasons on DVD if you need to borrow!” but I’d already caved and bought the DVD’s. My other friends are thrilled I’m in the loop, now, too. Kristin suggested I do a marathon session of seasons one and two so I can watch season three along with everyone else, and Colleen told me to make sure I watch the episodes in order. “So much happens in every episode, you can’t miss a single one!” she cautioned. You’ll be happy to know that I followed your advice to the letter, ladies. I cannot believe how juicy and honest this series is and how much I’ve come to adore these well-developed characters – even the scurrilous ones. I watched the first two episodes alone, but enough comments like my, “He didn’t really say that!” and “Oh man!” And “That awesome scene between Thomas and what’s-his-name in episode one? Scandalous!” drew Holly in, and before long, she was hooked, too. “Oh no she didn’t!” she commented during a particularly tense scene, as she wagged her finger at the TV. Holly cracks me up. Don’t worry, she

PBS.org photo

“Downton Abbey” is a British period drama television series that depicts the lives of an aristocratic family and its servants. The series is set in the fictional Yorkshire country estate of Downton Abbey.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose missed the most scandalous scene thus far as she didn’t tune in until episode three, but I explained the pertinent details so she doesn’t get lost. I’ve done a lot of explaining since then, about historical events referenced in the series – like the sinking of the Titanic and World War I, along with information about various period-related customs of English aristocracy. Issues related to women’s roles and rights have been particularly thought-provoking for my nearly 12-yearold daughter, and I’m relishing the conversations they’ve inspired.

Noah, who’s been sick with the flu and mostly sacked-out beside me all week, has watched, by default, more “Downton Abbey” than perhaps he’d care for me to admit, helpless as he’s been to do much more than tune-out by putting in his ear-buds. His presence has been critical to our viewing success, however, as he figured out how to make our old DVD player work. Suffice it to say that the thing is now being held it together with duct-tape, because one thingy broke off inside another thingy, but it does the job. We’ve got a new “thing” now, too. Every time a new episode begins and we hear the “Downton Abbey” theme song, Holly and I hum it loudly and wildly out of tune. Also, you know how in one of the opening scenes a disembodied maid reaches up to clean a chandelier with

a black feather-duster? We can’t help but shriek in mock-hysteria every time we see it because it looks – to us – like an enormous cat-paw looming over the chandelier. But then again, we’re probably sick, too. It can’t be helped. We’ve caught the “Downton Abbey” bug. In fact, I often catch Holly humming the theme song. She didn’t appreciate it when I accused her of being addicted to “Downton,” however. “I am not an attic!” she retorted, lunging at me with a pillow, and then another lesson commenced. This time, about the distinction between “attic” and “addict.” “The ‘attic’ is where the servants live, and ‘addicts’ are you and I,” I explained, as we fell apart in a heap of giggles. The upside to our addiction? Apparently inspired by Downton’s ladies’ maids, Holly spent last Sunday morning braiding and re-braiding my hair, fluffing my pillows and making my bed. I could get used to this. But we’re out of episodes; season three just started last month and I cannot locate PBS in my cable-provider’s lineup of channels. Ack! What’s up with that? I must right that wrong. I discovered that I can watch the newest episodes online at PBS.org, however, if need be. And need be, since I’m too impatient to place another order for another DVD and cold days like these are made for curling up with a blanket and escaping into a great story. “Downton Abbey” is, indeed, a great story. Even Noah conceded that “the cinematography’s awesome.” True, that, but maybe, just maybe, he’s hooked, too.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

– United Feature Syndicate

HOROSCOPE By Bernice Bede Osol Newspaper Enterprise Association T ODAY – In coming months, go out of your way to make an effort to develop good relationships with all of your co-workers. Although it may not be apparent to you at first, they could be of enormous help in furthering your ambitions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You are about to enter a profitable cycle for ideas. Chances are, you will conceive something that will be quite ingenious and which could make ample amounts of money. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Try to keep your day as loosely structured as possible, because something spontaneous could develop in which you’ll want to participate. It will have a lot of potential for success. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Utilize your gift of being able to sense a problem before it occurs. It’ll not only help you avoid a tight spot, but will keep you one step ahead of any other problems. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A willingness to adapt is your best asset, which will help you fit comfortably into most any group or situation you encounter. You’ll be a welcome addition to any venture. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You have a strong desire to be first in everything, which is all the motivation you’ll need to stand out from the pack. Your competitive spirit should bolster your performance. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Try to break away from your usual routine and engage in something different. Experiment with activities that bring you in contact with people who’ll stimulate you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your greatest asset is likely to be an ability to solve most any problem you encounter. In situations where others see no solution, you’ll come up with several ingenious fixes. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You’ll function best as one of the troop instead of as a self-appointed chief. Show others how to be an exemplary team player, and you’ll come out ahead. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Something you possess, which could be knowledge, a product or a method, will be of more value to others than it is to you. You’ll find a great market waiting for it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – This could be the perfect day for you to get together with two individuals who can help you further an ambition. Present your proposal with enthusiasm, and don’t leave anything out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – An important situation, whose slowness to develop has caused you considerable concern, could suddenly start to turn in a favorable direction. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An individual you’re about to meet will play a significant role in your plans. The two of you will have an instant rapport and should be quite successful together.

Some Super Bowl advertisers decide to spoil the surprise By LISA DE MORAES The Washington Post Once upon a time, major advertisers happily coughed up what was then considered to be a vast sum of money for Super Bowl ad time. They were comfortable in the knowledge that the ad would be seen by tens of millions of people and result in zillions of extra thingamabobs being sold. It was simple. It was effective. It was like printing money. But this year, CBS is charging $3.8 million to $4 million for a 30-second commercial during Sunday’s Ravens vs. 49s game. That’s up a minimum of $300,000 from 2012, when, yes, your ad was part of TV history’s most-watched broadcast (111.4 million viewers on average) – but you shelled out a whopping $3.5 million for the privilege. This year’s price tag also is nearly $1 million stiffer than a Super Bowl as recent as 2009, when a mere $2.9 million bought you an average audience of about 106 million. That was the year Bud Light gave us Conan O’Brien getting talked into doing a Swedish TV ad. Back in 1984 – the year of Apple’s Ridley Scott-directed Orwellian MacIntosh ad – regarded as the best Super Bowl ad ever and maybe the best ad, period – 30 seconds’ worth of Super Bowl time cost about $370,000, according to Nielsen – for which you got nearly 78 million viewers. In today’s dollars, that ad time cost less than $1 mill. With the cost of a game-day ad being what it is, and ad clutter infecting this sacred TV franchise (approaching 50 minutes), two schools of advertisers have emerged: those who preview their ads before kickoff to amortize the cost over social media and those who think such spoilers blunt a Super Bowl ad’s impact. For this year’s Super Bowl XLVII, more advertisers put out some, or all, of their ads ahead of time – on movie screens, online and across social media.

Chrysler still image

Chrysler’s ad, during last year’s Super Bowl, featured Clint Eastwood telling viewers it was “halftime in America” and urging people hurt by the economy to “make a comeback.” In some cases – as with Audi, which is making its sixth Super Bowl appearance – companies produced multiple ad endings and have asked viewers to vote for which they’d most like to see Sunday. Audi thinks this is the only way to go, its research showing that chatter about Super Bowl ads begins a quick fade within 24 hours of the game. Launching the ad before the game lets the company have “a much longer conversation” with consumers, Audi’s brand-marketing general manager told Ad Age last month. “The value is certainly in the anticipation of the Super Bowl” Loren Angelo explained. Releasing your ad early also comes with fringe benefits. On Wednesday night, CBS – this year’s Super Bowl host – aired a TV special: “Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials.” It purported to list the 10 best Super Bowl ads of all time – but included looks at the making of Budweiser’s newest Super Bowl ad with Clydesdales and a look at the making of

Toyota Rav4’s new ad, featuring “Big Bang Theory’s” Kaley Cuoco as a wishfulfilling genie. “I can’t believe it – I am so excited,” Cuoco said on the special. She also praised the ad creators for letting her be “sarcastic and funny,” which is “kind of my thing.” Nearly 10 million people watched that on-air Valentine to Bud’s and Toyota’s ads – the second-biggest audience on TV that night, behind only Fox’s “American Idol.” (That said, the special, while amusing, was hooey. The list lacked Apple’s “1984” ad, as well as lizards Louie and Frank, who starred in one of Budweiser’s longest-running and most successful Super Bowl ad campaigns. Also missing: Old Spice Man, a.k.a. former NFL practice-squad wide receiver Isaiah Mustafa, whose 2010 Super Bowl ad was viewed on YouTube more than 13 million times by July of that year, spawning a social-media blitz that NBC News said “changed the rules of social network marketing.” Other advertisers say that all this spoiling of Super Bowl ads will wind up killing the golden-egg-laying goose. “I’m more of the old school; I like the element of surprise. If I ruled the world, I’d go back to holding out and waiting,” John Norman, chief creative officer at TBWA/Chiat/Day Los Angeles, told the New York Times this week. That element of surprise can really work for an advertiser – particularly if all the other advertisers in their category joined the spoiler stampede. This year, for instance, almost all automakers who’d bought time in the game released at least portions of their ads ahead of Sunday’s game – except for Chrysler. Chrysler’s ad is one of this year’s most highly anticipated, what with last year’s Chrysler ad – also held until game day – winding up being the most memorable ad of that Super Bowl. It featured Clint Eastwood telling viewers it was “halftime in America” and urging people hurt by the economy to “make a comeback” because “our second half is about to begin.”

| ADVICE

Girl fears parents’ response to boyfriend Time heals all wounds Dear Abby: I’m a 20-year-old

college student with a great job, life ambitions and parents who love me. They raised me to think for myself and follow my dreams. I didn’t date much in high school, but a few months ago I met a wonderful young man who is in the Army. Two things about this relationship are different: First, we met on the Internet, communicated online for several weeks, then took the next step to meet in person. The second is, “Jack” is 10 years older than I am and has a son from a previous marriage. Jack is stationed not far from me. When I met him, I realized he was everything a woman could want. I did a background check and everything he told me is true. He supports me fully in pursuing my degree and my future career. But I’m afraid to introduce him

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to my parents because they’re old-fashioned. They are leery about people meeting on the Internet. They also want me to meet a guy closer to my age. The more Jack and I are together, the more I realize how much I love him. I want to introduce the man I love to my family. How do I proceed with this? I am scared that my parents won’t accept Jack. How can I get them to accept my choice? – Determined in the Southwest Dear Determined: Your relationship with Jack appears to be progressing at warp speed. If you want your parents to accept him, you must give them an opportunity to get to know

him – and the same applies to you because this romance is fresh. As you communicate with your parents, start mentioning Jack. Tell them he is a member of the military and how you met. Meeting someone on the Internet these days is very common and nothing to be ashamed of. The longer you continue keeping his existence a secret, the more concerned and disappointed your parents will be when you spring him on them. They will want to meet him and you should introduce him. After that, the selling job will be his. Keep your cool. You are your parents’ little girl and always will be. But the decision of who you’ll wind up with is your own to make, not theirs. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Quick action improves chances of recovery Dear Doctor K: My grandfather just had a hemorrhagic stroke and is in pretty bad shape. What is it, and how is it treated? Dear Reader: I’m sorry to hear this, but there’s a chance he’ll make a good recovery. There are two major kinds of strokes. In the most common type, a blockage in one of the brain’s arteries shuts off the blood supply to a part of the brain. That’s called an ischemic (is-KEE-mic) stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when one of the brain’s arteries bursts and spills blood into the surrounding tissue. This can create pressure inside the skull that damages the brain. The spilled blood can also provoke arteries to clamp down, and the reduced blood flow to the brain causes further damage. Without immediate treatment, a hemorrhagic stroke can cause disability or death. Hemorrhagic strokes, like all strokes, are an emergency. The immediate treatment goal is to prevent a second hemorrhage and to stop any more bleeding from the initial rupture. The options are a procedure called coiling, surgery or medication. The cause and location of the bleeding, either inside the brain (intracerebral) or on its surface (intracranial), helps determine treatment. Some hemorrhagic strokes are

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff caused by a ruptured aneurysm. An aneurysm is a weak spot in a blood vessel wall. Coiling can prevent an aneurysm from causing a second hemorrhage. In this procedure, the surgeon inserts a catheter into an artery and works it up to the aneurysm in the brain. The doctor releases a tiny coiled ball inside the aneurysm. The coil makes the blood in the aneurysm clot. Once this happens, the aneurysm is no longer dangerous. (I’ve put an illustration of this procedure on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) Surgical procedures may also be used to prevent a second hemorrhage. For example, in another treatment for hemorrhagic stroke caused by an aneurysm, a surgeon may open the skull, clamp the base of the aneurysm to keep it from bleeding any more and remove the accumulated blood. Removing blood is particularly important when heavy bleeding has produced increased pressure in the brain. In addition to reducing the risk of re-bleeding, surgery must wash clotted blood away from the artery. Clotted blood can cause

constriction of arteries at the base of the brain. This can be so severe that it can even cause death. Drug therapy for hemorrhagic stroke involves medications to control blood pressure that is too high or too low, or to reduce brain swelling. (High blood pressure is a major cause of hemorrhagic stroke.) People like your grandfather with hemorrhagic strokes often are severely affected at first. But if they receive medical care quickly and escape the dire consequences of the first hours after the stroke, they can actually recover a lot of brain function. Perhaps the most famous U.S. citizen to suffer a hemorrhagic stroke was President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945. Back then, there were no potent medicines to control his blood pressure, and brain surgery (which began here at Harvard) was a very young field. Unfortunately, within hours he was gone. His odds for recovery today would be far greater. And with today’s blood pressure medicines, he might well never have had the stroke in the first place.

Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I had been dating for more than five months, and I really believed that he truly was “the one.” He was cute, smart and great fun to be with. He was polite and treated me with respect. So, I was devastated to find that he did not have similar feelings for me. Three weeks ago, he told me he wanted to date another girl, and we would no longer be dating. I was shocked to think that he no longer wanted to date me, and I have never felt more depressed in my whole life. It has been impossible to forget him, and I’ve been spending all my time in my room studying. How long will these feelings last, and how can I get over this and get my life back in order? – Nameless, Toronto Dear Nameless: You will recover from your broken romance, but it will take some time. Time is the healer of all wounds, both physical and emotional. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true, so you just need to stop dwelling on the breakup and begin the healing process by keeping busy. It’s good that you have been concentrating on your schoolwork during this difficult time, but you also need to make some effort to participate in social events. Get involved in school, church or community activities that interest you. Please contact me in a few weeks and let me know how things are going. I know you will feel better when you become socially active again. Dr. Wallace: My parents were out of town on a business trip for two days, and my 15-year-old brother and I stayed home alone. I’m 17 years old, and I have a part-time job on Sat-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace urdays. I usually work all day, but last Saturday I came home early because I wasn’t feeling well. When I walked in, my brother and one of his friends were watching an X-rated video. When they saw me, they turned it off, but I saw enough to shock me. My brother told me the video belonged to his friend’s parents, and he was sorry he watched it at our house. He said it would never happen again and begged me not to tell our parents. I promised that I wouldn’t. But now I’m having second thoughts about it. What should I do? – Nameless, Naples, Fla. Dear Nameless: Your brother made a mistake and said that it would never happen again. Honor your promise and say nothing about this to your parents. Dr. Wallace: Please answer my question. Is it possible to catch a cold or flu while out in damp or cold weather? I’m outside a lot so my parents want me to get a flu shot to keep from getting sick. I hate needles. – Jeff, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Jeff: Colds and the flu are caused by viruses that enter the body through the mouth and nose and are spread by hand-to-hand or by sharing such objects as towels, eating utensils and telephones with an infected person. I still would advise you to get your flu shot because it could help you to stay healthy. I also have good news for you – the new needles are so thin that you will hardly feel the injection! • Write Dr. Wallace at rwallace@galesburg.net.

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Saturday, February 2, 2013

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese general and strategist, wrote: “To win 100 victories in 100 battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.” At the bridge table, sometimes your judgment of the opponents’ skill will influence your play – as in this deal. South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond 10. East takes the first two tricks in the suit, then shifts to the club six. Declarer wins on the board and plays a trump to his king. West takes the trick and returns a diamond. How should South continue? North’s transfer bid followed by three no-trump showed five hearts and game values. South starts with three top losers and only nine winners (one spade, four hearts and four clubs). He seems to need the spade finesse to work. However, after West’s diamond lead at trick five, if hearts are splitting 3-2, declarer could discard a spade from the dummy, ruff in his hand, cash his last trump, cross to dummy with a club, draw trumps and claim. Note, though, that this fails here because West gains a second trump trick. If West is a beginner, South must guess what to do. But if East and West are experts, West cannot have the spade king. If he did, he would have dropped the diamond nine at trick two as a suit-preference signal and East would have shifted to spades, subduing the contract. West’s defense strongly suggests that hearts are 4-1. Declarer should ruff on the board, cash his two top hearts, return to dummy with a club, draw the last trump, and take the spade finesse.
