GENEVA – The discov-ery recount Monday betweenjudge candidates uncoveredone early voting ballot thatshould have gone to KaneCounty Associate Judge Mar-marie Kostelny instead of Ge-neva attorney D.J. Tegeler,Kane County Clerk Jack Cun-ningham said.

“It could be human error,”Cunningham said. “It shouldhave gone to Kostelny.”

Cunningham said he ex-pected the discovery recountto continue today and possibly

finish up byWednesdaymorning.

Kostelnylost to Tege-ler by sevenvotes in the16th JudicialCircuit, thirdsub-circuit,6,220 to 6,213.

T e g e l e rand Kostel-ny were both

seeking a vacancy that will beleft by Judge Karen Simpson,who plans to retire Oct. 6.

Associate judges are ap-pointed, circuit judges areelected.

The Kane County recountcovers 16 precincts.

The first part of the discov-ery recount was done late lastmonth at the Aurora ElectionCommission covering two pre-cincts.

In that recount, one ballotthat was marked with a checkmark became an issue.

While Tegeler attorneyKen Shepro said the ballotclearly shows the voter’s in-tent, Kostelny attorney JohnCountryman said it is not thatsimple.

“I stood by that machine,”Countryman said. “They putit in 10 times and it rejected itevery time.”

In any case, the discoveryrecount has not shown enoughvotes to change the outcome ofthe election, Countryman said.

If enough votes do comeup that could change the out-come, Countryman said, noth-ing changes unless a candidatefiles for a full recount.

The deadline for his clientto file would be May 19, he

said.

NORTH AURORA – Vil-lage trustees Monday decid-ed the North Aurora ActivityCenter at 1 N. Lincolnway isnot worth saving.

The Activity Center hasbeen closed since March 12because of structural dam-age.

Batavia -based KluberArchitects and Engineersin a report had determinedthere are three sections ofthe building where the roofjoists have failed becausethey were stressed beyondtheir maximum designed ca-pacities.

“According to the report,the damage to the joists wascaused by a combination ofthe framing not being proper-ly designed for dead and liveloads [the building was con-structed in the 1930s] and thehigh snowfall experiencedthis past season where coldtemperatures did not allowfor normal periodic melting,”Village Administrator SteveBosco said.

Adding supports to all ofthe joists in the affected areasas recommended by Kluberis estimated to cost $219,862,of which the village’s insur-ance company would provide$103,146 in loss contribution.

The village’s total out-of-pocket costs would be about$116,715, Bosco said.

“I don’t think it would bethe wisest decision to putmoney into an aging build-ing,” Village Trustee LauraCurtis said during Monday’sCommittee of the Wholemeeting. Other trusteesagreed.

The village now will solic-it demolition bids and havethe property appraised.

Village President DaleBerman said he doesn’t wantto see the building just sitthere.

“I don’t want to see anempty building there for along period of time,” Bermansaid.

Share and Care Learn-ing Center, which was oneof the main tenants in the

North Aurora Activity Cen-ter, recently found a new per-manent home in the formerRainbow Tile building at 12John St. in North Aurora.

The North Aurora Activi-ty Center originally served asNorth Aurora Grade Schoolfrom 1933 to 1968. Other ten-ants in the building includedHaley’s Playground, whichserves those with specialneeds.

Haley’s Playground hasannounced a new partner-ship with the Association ofIndividual Development’sKeeler Center in Aurora andwill be moving there.

The Friday Nite Spot – avolunteer-run activity forfourth- through eighth-gradestudents – also has beenhoused at the North AuroraActivity Center .

BATAVIA – Batavia po-lice announced Monday theywill not bring any criminalcharges against Rotolo Mid-dle School students who po-lice said were involved in a“sexting” incident.

Batavia Police DetectiveKevin Bretz on Monday saidthe department decided thateducating the students onthe proper and improper useof social media was a betteridea than charging them.

Police had been inves-tigating the case of inap-propriate nude images thatpolice said were taken by Ro-tolo Middle School studentsof themselves and sharedwith other students.

Six or seven studentssent photos of themselvesthrough cellphone text mes-sages, Bretz said. Between 20to 24 students received thephotos.

Those boys and girls whowere involved in the inci-dent are between 11 and 14years old, Bretz said.

“All the parents of the stu-dents that were involved inthe incident were very con-cerned,” Bretz said. “Somewere shocked. They wereplanning on having seriousdiscussions with their chil-dren.”

The school district wasmade aware of the imagesApril 29 after a Rotolo Mid-dle School student let a staffmember know that someinappropriate images ofclassmates may have beendistributed through socialmedia, school officials have

said.If any disciplinary action

is taken against the studentsinvolved in the incident, itwill be handled by the schooldistrict and not released perschool district policy, policesaid.

Parents of the studentswill be contacted throughthe school district and noti-fied of the results of the in-vestigation. Batavia schoolofficials could not be reachedfor comment.

According to Rotolo’shandbook, students are pro-

hibited from “creating, send-ing, sharing, viewing, receiv-ing or possessing an indecentvisual depiction of oneself oranother person through theuse of a computer, electron-ic communication device orcellular phone.”

Under state law, it is ille-gal for those younger thanthe age of 18 to distributelewd photos using their cell-phones or computers.

Those found guilty of sex-ting could face supervision,as well as community ser-vice and counseling.

Cunningham used county email address for campaignBy BRENDA SCHORY

[email protected]

GENEVA – While a dep-uty in Kane County ClerkJack Cunningham’s officewas suspended for five daysafter using the county’s serv-er to work on Cunningham’sre-election campaign, emailsshow Cunningham himselfused the county server to docampaign work.

“I was wrong,” Cunning-ham said. “I screwed up.There is no excuse for it. Iapologize for it. I don’t knowwhat else I can say.”

The state’s campaign dis-closure law states candidatesand those working on theircampaigns cannot use tax-payer resources for politicalpurposes, said Tom Newman,deputy director of campaigndisclosure for the IllinoisState Board of Elections.

The Kane County EthicsOrdinance also forbids theuse of county equipment forcampaign purposes, as well asdoing political work during

work time at the county.Cunningham, who won the

Republican nomination in theMarch 18 primary election toseek a fourth term as countyclerk, said if the emails costthe county anything, he wouldpay for it.

“I have no intention of re-signing,” Cunningham said.“Nowhere in my literature doI say I’m perfect.”

Cunningham said the KaneCounty State’s Attorney’s Of-fice has created a new policyon emails so employees arenot allowed to use the coun-ty’s computers or email foranything personal.

“They set the policy for theoffice as clearly as I shouldhave,” Cunningham said.“We’re going to have a ran-dom audit of emails every oth-er month.”

Kane County Board mem-ber Mark Davoust, R-St.Charles, who lost to Cunning-ham in the GOP primary forcounty clerk, filed an ethicscomplaint, which is pending.

Kane County State’s At-torney Joe McMahon said hisoffice does not comment onpending or possible investiga-tions.

The Kane County Chron-icle filed a Freedom of Infor-mation Act request seekingall emails between Cunning-ham and his former deputyclerk, Jeff Ward, from Jan. 1to March 31. Ward also was avolunteer in Cunningham’sre-election campaign.

Ward was suspended forfive days after he sent a cam-paign-related email to the Illi-nois State Board of Electionson March 12.

Ward was no longer an em-ployee in the clerk’s office asof April 1, Kane County hu-man resources director SheilaMcCraven said.

Emails obtained by theChronicle show Ward andC u n n i n g h a m r o u t i n e l yemailed campaign-relatedmaterials back and forth onthe county’s server, as well asfrom the county server to Cun-ningham’s personal email.

They include:• An email from Cunning-

ham to Ward, on his countyemail, [email protected], that was sent at10:39 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 30,which is a forwarded messagefrom a newspaper about ad-vertising at “special politicalrates … to help catapult you tothe top of the polls.”

• An email from Cunning-ham to Ward on Friday, Jan.17, at 5 p.m., to schedule anendorsement interview with alocal newspaper.

• An email from Ward onhis county email, [email protected], at 9:52 a.m. Fri-

day, Feb. 21, to Cunninghamwith a re-election flier featur-ing a full color photo of Cun-ningham and proclaiminghim as “The Right Choice” forKane County clerk.

• An email from Cunning-ham on his Kane County ac-count to Ward at 6:33 p.m.Tuesday, Feb. 11, regardinga forwarded message froma sign company about busdecals promoting Cunning-ham’s re-election.

• An email from Ward onhis county account at 3:27 p.m.Friday, Jan. 17, to Cunning-ham’s personal email regard-ing “Cunningham for CountyClerk.”

The email was regarding afine Cunningham owed to thestate board for failing to filequarterly campaign contribu-tion reports on time.

Davoust said last monththat he has not heard fromanyone investigating his eth-ics complaint.

“I’m all ears like the rest ofus, wondering what’s going tobecome of this,” Davoust said.

“I was wrong. I screwed up. There is no excuse for it.I apologize for it. I don’t know what else I can say.”

OAKCRESTDeKalb Area Retirement Center

www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“We found a home we value…”The view from our two bedroom balcony apartment can’t be beat. To say we have it all might be abit of an understatement. You see, when we were ready to make the retirement decision, we knewwe wanted to find a community that felt like home and would offer great living accommodations butwould also provide a full continuum of care and services. The reality of life is that at some point oneor both of us may need some kind of care and support, and we wanted to be sure when that time came we could be together. We also wereconscious of the costs associated with retirement living. After visiting other places near our home in Maple Park, we found the costs associatedwith the care and services didn’t translate into value. So, when we stopped in at Oak Crest we just knew we had come home. Not only werewe impressed with the surroundings, the apartments, and services; we found an apartment we love at a price we love even more. Come see foryourself. It really comes down to this: life at Oak Crest translates into value.

GENEVA – The employ-ment status of Kane CountyAnimal Control Interim Ad-ministrator Robert Saucedaappears to be in question.

Sauceda’s county cell-phone number has beendisconnected, according toVerizon. He was not at workMonday, according to a per-son answering the phone atAnimal Control, but his officevoice mail was operational.

This weekend, Sauceda,also a South Elgin villagetrustee, said that he cannotcomment on his work statuswith the county.

Sauceda was made interimadministrator in November atan annual salary of $65,000.

Kane County Board Chair-man Chris Lauzen would notcomment on Sauceda specif-ically, but said, “I have beenmade aware of a personnelsituation in the health depart-ment.”

“We’re looking into it,” hesaid. “Our research is prelim-inary, and until we completeour review of this personnelmatter, we don’t talk aboutpersonnel matters in a news-paper. When [Kane CountyHealth Department Executive

Director] Barb Jeffers hascompleted the research, thenwe’ll know what the situationis within that process.”

The health departmentoversees Animal Control. Jef-fers would not comment Sun-day about Sauceda’s employ-ment status.

Kane Coun-ty Human Re-sources Exec-utive DirectorSheila McCra-v e n d i d n o treturn voicemail or emailrequests for in-formation.

Kane County Board mem-ber Melisa Taylor, R-SugarGrove, said she received com-munication from two sourcesthat she would not disclosefrom within the departmentthat Sauceda had to leave An-imal Control on Friday and ison paid administrative leave.

Taylor said she was angrythat she did not hear about itfrom the county administra-tion, instead hearing about itfrom outsiders.

“We were not told any-thing,” Taylor said Sunday.“County staff is zipped up,and the press is on fire on this.We should have been notified– rather than be notified via

the press or the residents ofthe county – [from] the admin-istration within the county.How are we supposed to rep-resent our constituents whenwe don’t know what’s goingon?”

Taylor, who lost her re-elec-tion bid in the March prima-ry to Bill Lenert, said she isnot looking “for all the gorydetails” however, she wouldexpect to be notified about ahigh-profile county employeeon administrative leave.

“We are not looking for de-tails, just notification,” Tay-lor said.

In an email she sent to allboard members Monday, Tay-lor called on Lauzen to pro-vide information about Sauce-da’s employment status.

“I feel it is your responsi-bility, Mr. Lauzen, to notifyall of the Kane County Boardmembers of the situation to al-low us to have the knowledgewhen addressing any and allquestions that come to all ofus from all of the press ele-ments but most importantly,our Kane County constitu-ents,” Taylor’s email stated.

Kane County State’s Attor-ney Joe McMahon said it isnot his office’s policy to com-ment on pending or possibleinvestigations.

CAMPTON HILLS – OnFriday, the Campton HillsPolice Department will jointhe Illinois Department ofTransportation, the IllinoisState Police and other state-wide law enforcement agen-cies to enforce seat belt lawsthrough the Click It or Tick-et campaign, the department

announced Monday.“Memorial Day weekend

kicks off the busy summerdriving season, and we wantto ensure that everyone ar-rives at their destinationsafe and sound,” CamptonHills police Chief Dan Hoff-man said in a news release.

“Our officers are preparedto ticket anyone, front orback seat, who is not wear-ing a seat belt.”

In Illinois, all drivers andpassengers must wear seatbelts in all seating positionsin the car, not just the frontseat.

During statewide obser-vational surveys conductedby IDOT in 2013, the over-all usage rate for rear-seatoccupants was 77.4 percentcompared to 93.7 percent fordrivers and front-seat pas-sengers, police said in the

release.In 2012, police said, back-

seat passengers in Illinoisaccounted for 46 fatalitiesand more than 5,000 injuries.Of the fatalities, 30 were notwearing a seat belt.

“Seat belts save thou-sands of lives every year, butfar too many motorists stillare not buckling up, espe-cially in the back seat,” Hoff-man said.

P r o v i s i o n a l n u m b e r sshow that during the 2013Memorial Day weekend,there were three fatalitiesand nearly 600 injuries on Il-linois roads.

Two of the fatalities werealcohol related.

Wearing a seat belt is thebest defense against an im-paired driver, police said.

The Click It or Ticket cam-paign runs through May 26.

ST. CHARLES – City alder-men Monday could not sup-port an all-ages mixed-martialarts event proposed for thecity’s west side.

The city’s GovernmentOperations Committee voted9-0 in favor of denying ampli-fication and an E-2 liquor li-cense for the event, which isplanned for June 14 at the FoxValley Harley Davidson Deal-ership, 131 Randall Road, St.Charles.

The aldermen on the com-mittee had various concernsabout the event, includingPhantom Fight Promotions’plan to hold the event out-doors and that alcohol wouldbe served to those age 21 andolder contained in a separate

area.“I can’t condone any use

outside if there’s going to befamilies there,” 4th Ward Al-derman Jim Martin said. “I’llbe voting no anyway.”

Rob Tovar, one of PhantomFight Promotions’ three part-ners, spoke Monday beforethe committee. Tovar said thecompany would return to St.Charles when the proposalgoes before the City Council.

Tovar plans to revise hisproposal and make the eventfor those age 21 and older, butstill be held outdoors.

“Our Plan B is to holdthis event in the city of St.Charles,” Tovar said to a re-porter after the committee’svote.

The next St. Charles CityCouncil meeting is scheduledfor May 19.

Older Americans Month

To the Editor:May is Older Americans

Month. This year’s theme,“Safe Today. HealthyTomorrow,” focuses oninjury prevention thatemphasizes helping olderadults stay active.We are witnessing an

increase in the number ofadults reaching retirementage who are remainingstrong and active forlonger than ever before.The Illinois Department onAging advocates for olderadults and their caregiversby administering programsthat help older adults liveindependently in theirhomes and communities.Without services to

assist them, many of ourmost vulnerable wouldhave few choices toremain independent andwould find themselvesforced to live in nursinghome facilities. Servicesdelivered to older adults’homes in their commu-nities cost the state farless than nursing homeservices. Illinois legislatorsare debating Gov. PatQuinn’s budget proposal,which calls for maintainingthe current state incometax rate.Those who say Illinois

can tax and spend lesswhile still providing vitalservices for older adultsare wrong. Programs suchas the Community CareProgram, Adult ProtectiveServices and home-deliv-ered meals account formore than 95 percent ofthe department’s generalfund.Without revenue from

the current income taxrate, many of the state’s

critical services will faceradical cuts.• Community Care

Program – The “not rec-ommended” budget levelwould reduce the averagenumber of in-home serviceunits from 46 hours amonth to 34 hours.• Adult Protection

Services – The “not rec-ommended” budget levelwould not allow for growthfrom the expansion tocover people with disabil-ities ages 18 to 59 livingin a domestic setting, andamong the elderly. To livewithin this budget, theprogram would limit thecases it investigates.• Home-delivered meals

– The “not recommended”budget would not allowfor the needed 54 percentincrease in meal levels. Abudget reduction wouldput more seniors in needof nutrition assistance ona wait list.If our current income tax

rate is not retained, ex-treme cuts will be imposedJuly 1. These cuts couldmean we’d lose in-homecaregivers for 21,000 olderadults; older adults livingin nursing homes acrossIllinois would be leftvulnerable, resulting froma reduction in ombudsmanvisits.We urge legislators to

vote to retain the currentincome tax rate in supportof Quinn’s budget for fiscal2015. The governor’s planprotects families, includingmore than two millionpeople older than 60 whocall Illinois home.

ANOTHER VIEW

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Obama should curb deportations if Congress doesn’t actBLOOMBERG NEWS

For a legislative cadaver, U.S.

immigration reform has been

kicking up a fair amount of dust.

Pro-immigration activists

have been protesting in front of

the White House and lambasting

President Barack Obama as the

nation’s “deporter in chief.”

Meanwhile, House Speaker John

Boehner made news last month

in Ohio when he chastised his

colleagues for being too timid to

take up immigration legislation,

then made news again when he

returned to Washington and took

it all back, placing blame, as usu-

al, on Obama for the presence of

the stiff on Boehner’s operating

table.

But Obama should give Boeh-

ner and the House more time just

in case. Then, once the patient is

truly, surely, undeniably dead,

the president should act. He has

already directed Homeland Se-

curity Secretary Jeh Johnson to

review options for easing depor-

tations. News reports suggest the

administration will take modest

steps, if it takes any at all. But

it’s a bit late for small ball.

The demise of immigration

reform would be a humanitari-

an failure, as well as a political

one. An estimated 4.4 million

undocumented immigrants have

children who are U.S. citizens.

An additional 600,000 or so have

spouses who are either Ameri-

can citizens or legal residents.

Most have been in the United

States for a decade or more.

Many have jobs in addition to

families.

These immigrants are rarely

among the deported. Still, thou-

sands of otherwise law-abiding

immigrants with legal family

members are deported each

year, and millions live under the

threat of it.

Having already deferred

deportations for “Dreamers”

– young undocumented immi-

grants who came to the U.S. as

children – Obama should extend

the policy on similar terms to

undocumented immigrants with

lengthy residencies in the U.S.

and family members who are

U.S. citizens or legal residents.

The president’s power to ease de-

portations isn’t explicit. But he

unquestionably has discretion in

enforcement of immigration law.

Some believe the extent of that

discretion may be on par with a

president’s pardoning power.

Such a broad exercise of

prosecutorial discretion would

surely not resolve the political

battle over immigration. Indeed,

it would incense the opposition

and further polarize debate.

Opponents would no doubt label

such a move “amnesty” – and

they would be correct. But what

is their alternative? The possi-

bility that the U.S. will deport 11

million undocumented immi-

grants is no more than a cruel

fantasy. And all sides agree that

the status quo is destructive,

undermining both the rule of law

and immigrants’ potential.

House Republicans who

object to a new class of deporta-

tion deferrals have the means to

alter it. It’s called legislation. A

comprehensive immigration bill,

with the imprimatur of Con-

gress, remains by far the best

possible outcome. A bipartisan

majority of the Senate has al-

ready shown the way; the House

need only follow suit.

Government shouldn’t be in

the business of “tearing fam-

ilies apart who otherwise are

law-abiding,” Obama said. If

there is a humane and credible

rebuttal to that, we haven’t

heard it.

Editorial board Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibitingthe free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; orthe right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for aredress of grievances.

BATAVIA – The BataviaFire Department is unable todetermine the exact cause of afire that caused an estimated$5,000 in damages to a schoolbus Sunday night.

“We will leave it as un-determined, but we believesomething electrical was in-

volved,” Batavia Deputy FireChief Randy Banker said.

Batavia firefighters weredispatched at 7:04 p.m. toFirst Student Bus Company,1000 Swanson Drive, Bata-via. Upon arrival, firefight-ers found a small school buswith the engine compartmenton fire. The vehicle appearedto have been plugged into a110-volt outlet from inside

the building for purposes ofcharging or block heating,firefighters said.

The engine compartmentand passenger compartmentwas about 90 percent burnedout.

The damage to the busoriginally was estimated at$35,000, but Banker said that

was downgraded to $5,000when new facts came to light.

“The bus was due to bereplaced this year,” Bankersaid. “It was at the end of itslife.”

Firefighters brought thefire under control at 7:15 p.m.,and the last unit left the sceneat 7:37 p.m.

GENEVA – A company thataims to bring health care sav-ings to Kane County by allow-ing employees to better shopfor medical procedures is be-ing peppered with questions.

Representatives from Heal-thEngine – which bills itselfas the answer to competitivehealth care pricing – werein Geneva on Monday for aninformational meeting withKane County Board Chairman

Chris Lauzen, some employeesand a few County Board mem-bers.

“This is a really big deal,”Lauzen said. “We have achance to innovate.”

But County Board mem-bers – who were presentedwith HealthEngine’s conceptduring committee meetings inMarch and April – continuedMonday to question the com-pany about its services.

The Chicago-based, physi-cian-led group recognizes pa-tients have a choice regarding

their health care and deserveto know the price range of aservice before they purchaseit, CEO and founder JonathanWeiss said.

He said it began its U.S.launch this year.

HealthEngine aims to saveits clients money by negoti-ating rates with health careproviders – primarily imagingand surgery centers – that arelower than the rates offered byinsurance companies, Weisssaid.

When employees use pro-

viders with the lower rates,the county and HealthEnginewould equally split the sav-ings.

“This proposal is pay forperformance,” Lauzen said.

It would not replace thecounty’s existing health in-surance. The county is self-in-sured and has a third-party ad-ministrator, Blue Cross BlueShield.

C o u n t y B o a r d m e m -bers questioned how Heal-thEngine’s service works, whyproviders would be willing to

lower their rates and how HI-PAA factors in. John Hoscheit,R-St. Charles, requested in-volvement from the State’sAttorney’s Office so legal ques-tions could be cleared.

Judith Brawka, chief judgeof the 16th Judicial Circuit,asked for evidence that showscosts factor into decisionsabout medical care. She ar-gued that people go to physi-cians because of their exper-tise.

“It is not like flying on anairline,” she said.

ST. CHARLES – The Chica-go Suburban Arts Conferencehardly had begun Saturdaybefore organizers began field-ing questions about whetherit would become an annualevent.

“If not that, at least bien-nial,” said Amanda Harris ofCore Project Chicago and SideStreet Studio Arts.

Held in businesses in theFirst Street Plaza in down-town St. Charles, the artsconference aimed to foster agreater level of collaborationbetween arts organizations.

Jim Kirkhoff of WaterStreet Studios said the eventwas born out of a frustrationhe and others – including Har-ris – shared about how region-al arts organizations operatewithout much cooperation,collaboration or sharing.

“Meanwhile, the work thatWSS, SSSA and Core Projecthas done together has notonly been highly creative andsuccessful, but is creating anartistic bridge throughoutthe Fox Valley,” he said in anemail before the event.

“We felt that we needed to

share our good fortune withothers. It was a moral obliga-tion.”

On Saturday, Kirkhoff saidhe counted more than 60 par-ticipants representing a vari-ety of interests, including theperforming arts, visual arts,arts outreach groups, univer-sities and governmental bod-ies.

He described the turnoutas “awesome,” noting the big-gest challenge that faces newevents is educating potentialattendees about the event’spurpose.

From the keynote ad-dress – “Connecting the Arts:Thoughts on Collaborationand Advocacy” by Janet CarlSmith, former commissioner

of the city of Chicago Depart-ment of Cultural Affairs – toafternoon presentations andbreak-out sessions, the con-ference highlighted differenttypes of collaboration.

In her work with bureau-cracies, Carl Smith said she of-ten had few resources to workwith and guessed that manyconference attendees face sim-ilar situations.

“For me,” she said, “collab-oration was really key.”

Carl Smith said the confer-ence was a great start towardbuilding a network.

“Your needs might besomebody’s assets,” she said.“The opportunity to come to-gether today … is really veryspecial.”

Kane County Cougars usher Bill Bowers, 90, of Bartlett works Gate 3 at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva during a recent game against theWisconsin Timber Rattlers.

Cougars ambassadorBy JAY SCHWAB

[email protected]

GENEVA – The ability tobounce back from adversitywithout losing their resolve of-ten separates the Kane CountyCougars’ successful playersfrom those that don’t last longin professional baseball.

Bill Bowers, the Cougars’90-year-old usher, is decadesbeyond his athletic prime,but he sets that unflappabletone as well as anybody in the

organization.Orphaned as a child, Bow-

ers has encountered plentyof heartache and duress, yetremains the ultimate optimist.His sunny worldview is ondisplay for all those who passthrough Gate 3 at Fifth ThirdBank Ballpark.

“I’ve never had an enemyin my life,” Bowers said.“That’s who I am. I lovepeople. I figure if you’re a badperson, I’ll make you good.You’ll smile when I get done

with you.”Bowers said his son, Dale,

directed him to a Cougarsusher position in 1994 as a wayto help move on after Bowers’wife, Arleen, died. In the 20years to follow, he’s becomeone of the faces that Cougarsfans, employees and even teammembers most associate withthe franchise.

Bowers’ only extended ab-sence from the ballpark camelast year. He missed the entire2013 season after a serious

health scare late in 2012, whenthe aftereffects of a bout withpneumonia temporarily forcedhim into an assisted livingcenter.

But despite his advancedage and the perils of a baseballseason – the heat, the cold,the rain and everything inbetween – Bowers was deter-mined to reclaim his post andresume what he does best –connect with people.

Bowers, 90, delighted to remain on the job as an usher

Bowers calls the ballpark

environment “the greatest in

the world.”

“The name of the game is

love, and that kind of love is

from the heart,” Bowers said.

“You’re talking to someone,

making them feel comfortable

coming into the park.”

Bowers, a Bartlett resident,

was born in Pennsylvania but

has lived in too many cities to

count, he said. Now the only

surviving sibling among 10,

Bowers was split from several

of his brothers and sisters

after his parents died, saying

“it’s a lonely world” for an

orphan.

“I grew up overnight even

though I was a young man,”

Bowers said.

Bowers said he was able to

afford two years of college at

Fordham University and was

drafted into the army during

World War II. He spent much

of his adult life working in the

hotel industry, then switched

paths to accept a position with

the RR Donnelley printing

company in Chicago.

His initial duties with the

Cougars included handing out

lollipops to children, and he’s

maintained his enthusiasm

for dishing out goodies and

cheery salutations.

“People are anxious to get

anything, you know what

I mean,” said Bowers, who

was the team’s head usher

for much of his tenure. “A

pencil, a ball, a bobblehead or

anything like that. The most

important thing is always

smile with the customer, if

you’re giving them a pencil or

you’re giving them a bobble-

head. One thing is 2 cents, the

other one is 2 dollars.

“The other thing is, I love

kids. Dealing with kids, you

smile with them, and the

mothers like that because they

appreciate the fact that their

child has been noticed.”

Bowers is an avid baseball

fan, and he doesn’t hesitate

to advise players to make

sure their practice habits

are as enticing to scouts as

their talent. He called former

Cougars great and eventual

major league pitcher Dontrelle

Willis “the most interesting

person I’ve ever met … what a

gentleman.”

Cougars general manager

Curtis Haug said Bowers is

a valuable consultant about

many facets of the team’s

game-day operation since he

hears so much first-hand feed-

back from fans. Haug called

Bowers “an inspiration” and

“a great Cougars ambassa-

dor.”

“I’ve been lucky to have

him a part of my life for the

past 20 years,” Haug said.

“He’s a special man.”

St. Charles resident John

Bukovits, another longtime

Cougars usher, also has

worked with Bowers since the

mid-1990s; the two are now

partners working Gate 3.

Bukovits said many fans

asked about Bowers’ where-

abouts when he was recover-

ing from his illness last year.

Bukovits acknowledged his

own concern but was confi-

dent his partner would return.

“I knew he’d be back,”

Bukovits said. “Bill’s the kind

of guy who can’t sit still, so I

knew he’d be back.”

Bowers not only works

five-plus hour days at the ball-

park for home games, but he

remains deeply involved with

his church – Corpus Christi

Catholic Church in Carol

Stream – and he exercises

regularly.

His passion for a healthy

lifestyle sometimes prompts

him to good-naturedly chide

fans about their smoking. But

even his ribbing is accompa-

nied with a smile, which helps

explain the response from

co-workers and fans when he

returned this season.

“I felt like they were all

my brothers and sisters, for

crying out loud,” Bowers said.

“They all come up to me, give

me a great, big hug and a hello

and all that. The reason I’m

back, camaraderie is the best

thing and friendship is the

best thing. When you have

friends, you have everything.

When you’re alone and don’t

do anything, you’re in bad

shape.”

Extra-inningwin keepsCadets rollingBy THOMAS DELVES

[email protected]

AURORA – The Marmionbaseball team remained un-beaten in the Suburban Chris-tian Conference Blue on Mon-day with a thrilling, 2-1 winagainst Montini in 10 innings.

The pitchers duel featuredMichigan State-bound left-hander Alex Troop for Marm-ion and Broncos senior stand-out Eric Frontzak.

Troop was dominant, strik-ing out 15, walking two andallowing only one hit in eightinnings of work.

“Going for the head of theconference right there, stayingundefeated on our part … thatwas a big win,” Troop said.“ … It really was just greatoverall.”

Troop also went 3 for 3 atthe plate with a triple.

Frontzak went seven in-nings, striking out six andwalking two. He was replacedby junior Jordan Lazowski,who was tagged with the loss.

In the bottom of the 10th,Marmion center fielder Ty-ler Eberth singled to lead offthe inning. After two popouts,Eberth stole second, and catch-

er Brady Roberts’ deep driveto right field brought in thegame-winning run.

“I told myself I had to keepwaiting back on [the ball] andtry to go middle, middle-righton it,” Roberts said of hisgame-winning hit.

Montini got on the board inthe top of the first after Troopwalked shortstop Eddie Bavawith two outs. Senior AustinKline then ripped an RBI dou-ble to right field, giving theBroncos a 1-0 lead.

The Cadets answered in thebottom of the second. It startedwith Troop singling and Nick

Salazar coming into the gameas a courtesy runner. Frontzakthrew a pitch in the dirt thatMontini catcher Tom Longcouldn’t find, allowing Sala-zar to move from first to thirdbase. Gunnar Stanke walkedbefore first baseman Zach Si-wiec had an RBI single to tiethe game at 1-1.

With the win, the Cadetsmoved to 10-0 in the confer-ence and 11-5 overall. Marm-ion coach Dave Rakow washappy with the way the tightballgame unfolded.

“It was a pitcher’s duel andI’m glad we came out on top,”

Rakow said, “It’s kind of aplayoff environment with twoteams that are battling for con-ference, and I was just reallyhappy to see that we were ableto come out on top when it wasall said and done.”

Garrett Fisher came in forTroop in the ninth inning. Hegave up one infield single andstruck out two, getting thewin.

The Broncos dropped to 9-2(second to Marmion) in SCCBlue and 14-3 overall.

The Cadets and Broncos arescheduled to square off againtoday in Lombard.

Kaneland fallsin pitchers’ duel

By STEVE [email protected]

SYCAMORE – When ColeNelson warmed up in thebullpen beyond the left-fieldfence at Sycamore Park, heknew he was going to havehis good stuff for Monday’sNorthern Illinois Big 12 Eastseries opener against Kane-land.

Turned out Nelson’s feelwas right.

The Sycamore standout’sfastball had good locationand was going right by theKnights batters, who weren’table to do much when Nelsontossed a breaking ball up tothe plate.

Nelson gave up only threehits, didn’t walk a batter andstruck out nine in the Spar-tans’ 1-0 baseball win.

“Everything was work-ing,” said Nelson, who im-proved to 4-1. “I didn’t eventhrow my changeup once.From warming up in the bull-pen, I knew everything wasworking, everything was go-ing.”

The Knights (12-8, 7-3 NIBig 12 East) had runners onfirst and third in the secondinning courtesy of singles bySean Dunphy and AnthonyHolubecki, but Nelson struckout Jacob Bachio and gotConnor Fedderly to groundout to first to end the threat.

Kaneland had only twomore baserunners the rest ofthe game – Austin Wheatleyreached on an error in thethird, and Bachio singled tocenter in the fifth on a ball

Spartans center fielder BrettWeaver nearly caught with adiving effort.

Nelson got better and bet-ter as the game went on, retir-ing the final eight Kanelandbatters.

“Cole was spinning theball up there nicely and keep-ing us on our toes. Changingspeeds, changing eye lev-el like any pitcher would,”Kaneland coach Brian Aver-sa said. “We try to put theball in play; they played greatdefense today. ... It’s tough tobeat a team that doesn’t makemistakes, so we kind of need-ed to keep putting the ball inplay a little more and makethem make a mistake.”

Sycamore (18-3, 8-2 NI Big12 East) got its only run in thefirst inning against Kanelandstarter Curtis Thorson, whenleadoff hitter Mark Skelleystarted the frame by reachingon an error.

Skelley scored on a CooperVinz RBI ground out to short.

Aversa went with Thorsoninstead of Holubecki, whohas been the Knights’ normalMonday starter, because hefelt the big dimensions at Syc-amore Park favored Thorson,who also had a few more daysrest.

Thorson gave up only fourhits in a complete-game ef-fort, walking two and strik-ing out four.

“Curtis was on tonight, hedid a great job,” Aversa said.“We were waiting for that onebreak for our side, and wenever got it. Curt put us in aposition to win.”

Revamped lineup servingSt. Charles North wellSomemidseason lineup shuffling seems

to be serving St. Charles North well.The North Stars’ batting order looks

substantially different than it did early inthe season, and not only because slug-ging catcher Emily Brodner is no longerwith the team.North coach Tom Poulin did some tin-

kering – including moving Mickey Goetzfrom the No. 3 slot to No. 2 and KaitlynWaslawski from No. 2 to No. 6 – in hopesof sparking the North Stars’ offense. He’smostly been satisfied with the results.“We had to do something,” Poulin said.

“I wouldn’t be doing my job if I just left itthe same and we continued on the paththat we were on because we were on apath to be .500. And it might not haveanything to do with the lineup, but sincethat day we’ve been more productive asfar as scoring runs.”Among the few lineup elements that

have remained steady – Northwestern re-cruit Sabrina Rabin is still batting leadoff

and Northern Illinois recruit Abby Howlettis holding down the cleanup spot.Howlett’s bid for a grand slam was

down-sized to a single in Friday’s winagainst visiting Batavia when her driveto left field smacked off the wall. Her hitturned into a long single, scoring two.“This place, [the wind] is never blowing

out,” Poulin said. “If the wind wasn’tknocking it down, she’d have herself agrand slam. I was hoping. I was trying tohelp it.”Poulin would like to see his hitters re-

warded by Mother Nature the way manyother teams in the area are.“It seems like very time you go to the

other side of town [at St. Charles East],it’s blowing to dead center,” Poulin said.“It’s always blowing out for [baseball atNorth], but very rarely for us.”

days this week – Monday through Friday– including a marquee Suburban ChristianConference matchup Thursday againstMontini.“The games are backing up a little bit

NOTEWORTHY

IN THE GROOVE

COACH SLY SEZ ...Sly loves softball, slow pitch or fast pitch, but

here’s one beef with the fast-pitch, high schoolgame: how easy it is for runners to take secondbase when it’s a first-and-third scenario.Runners often stroll to second base in no partic-

ular hurry, daring the catcher to throw down sothat the runner on third can break for home.There are multiple options for how teams can

contest a steal attempt in that situation, andmany factors (the runner’s speed, the catcher’sarm, the score in the game) to take into account.But it seems like waving the white flag in con-ceding second base is the norm. Sly’d like to seesome teams say, “Not so fast,” and challenge theirdefenses to cut down runners’ sense of entitle-ment.

Saints and Vikingssplit doubleheader

By THOMAS [email protected]

GENEVA – The Genevaand St. Charles East baseballteams split an Upstate EightConference River doublehead-er Saturday, with Game 1 a 3-2Vikings win and Game 2 end-ing 7-4 in favor of the Saints.

The Vikings started themorning fast, as center field-er Jason Croci doubled toright-center in the bottom ofthe first. Garrett Davis movedCroci over on a bunt, but itdidn’t matter because short-stop Nick Derr launched a ballinto the jet stream that clearedthe fence in right field, givingthe Vikings a 2-0 lead.

The Saints (14-8, 10-6 UECRiver) responded in the top ofthe second.

After loading the bases ona walk and two singles, ReidOlson singled in the Saints’first run.

Starting pitcher Max No-vak pitched seven inningsstriking out five and walkingthree while working out ofseveral jams for the Vikings(13-7, 9-6 UEC River).

“Everyone makes mis-takes. You’re not going tomake every play,” Novak said.

The Saints were able to tiethe game at 2 off an RBI singleby Erik Anderson in the top ofthe fourth.

In the bottom of the sixth,Derr struck again doubling toright field. Saints starter MikeBoehmer was lifted for junior

Mick Vyzral. Vyzral gave upan RBI single to third base-man Ben Chally to give Gene-va at 3-2 lead.

CHICAGO – To say JoelQuenneville had the Black-hawks on cruise control lastspring would be unfair. He hadto drag his team through a first-round series after it played invirtually no meaningful gamesduring an utterly dominant reg-ular season. He had to matchwits with Detroit’s Mike Bab-cock. And he picked the righttime to unite Jonathan Toewsand Patrick Kane against theKings and then again againstthe Bruins.

But compared with the earlystages of this postseason, Quen-neville might as well have beensitting on the bench with hisfeet up on the boards.

Just eight games into whatcould be another deep run,Quenneville has blown up hisshutdown fourth line. He’sswapped Michal Handzus andBen Smith, and moved Smithto center. He’s run throughseveral line combinations,pulling the trigger on swap-ping Marian Hossa and Kaneat just the right time in Game4 against St. Louis. He handledBrent Seabrook’s three-gamesuspension by putting SheldonBrookbank with Duncan Keith,rather than shake up all threedefensive pairings. He benchedKris Versteeg in Game 6 againstSt. Louis, and surprised manyby going with Joakim Nord-strom over Peter Regin or Jer-emy Morin. Then he insertedMorin when Andrew Shaw wasinjured. He benched BrandonBollig in Game 2 against Min-nesota. And he benched NickLeddy for the third period ofthat same game.

After standing pat through-out the regular season and mostof the postseason in 2013, Quen-neville, a notorious tinkerer,has been in his element thisspring. And nearly every movehas worked out.

“As a player, you get a realgood sense, a real good appre-ciation for Joel’s ability to seethose things and make thoseright moves,” Keith said.“We’ve got a lot of depth onour team and our organization,and when he makes those de-

cisions, it seems like the guyswho come in have come in andplayed well.”

Quenneville has won theearly chess match with Minne-sota’s Mike Yeo.

With his stalwart fourth lineno longer around – Smith’s onthe second line, Marcus Krugeris on the third line, and Bolligis in the press box – Quenne-ville turned to Toews to shadowZach Parise’s line, and throughtwo games, the Wild’s top sixforwards have zero goals.

Quenneville will have atougher task tonight in Game 3,as the series shifts to Minneso-ta. As the home team, the Wildwill have the last change, mean-ing Yeo can keep Parise awayfrom Toews. Rebuilding a gen-uine checking line could help.

“I don’t think many lines, orany lines, in the league start 90percent of their shifts in theirown end, and you’re confidentthat you can play them againstthe other team’s top line, onthe road or anywhere,” Quen-neville said of his erstwhilefourth line. “It was very effec-tive for us, and I don’t think wehad that type of a line over thecourse of the last five years. Itwas kind of a unique situation,and … it’s kind of evolved into adifferent line.”

Quenneville wouldn’t saywhether Nordstrom and Mo-rin would stay in the lineup,or if Bollig or Versteeg (who’sbeen sick the past two games)might draw back into the line-up. Quenneville said Bollig hada “real strong regular season,”playing all 82 games, but that heneeds to play faster in the play-offs. He wants Versteeg to playmore simple and direct – north-south, not east-west.

With 15 capable forwardsand seven capable defensemen,Quenneville has the depth tosend messages and spark inter-nal competition, and the nerveto make drastic changes whenwarranted. And although he’dlove to have the consistency hehad last spring, he already hasshown this postseason that hehas no problems taking a morehands-on approach.

“It’s the coach’s decisions,”Hossa said. “And he seems likehe’s always got the right ideas.”

American art pottery artists oftenpainted pictures on their vases, pitch-ers and other pieces. They paintedbats, frogs, rabbits, birds and otheranimals in their natural form, as wellas fantasy animals represented aswell-dressed humanlike figures. Themarks on these ceramics often indi-cate the age, company and artist, aswell as some other factory informationabout type of clay or glazes. What bet-ter way to suggest the origin, age andvalue of a piece today. Robert BruceHorsfall (1869-1948) was an artist atCincinnati’s Rookwood factory in 1893when he decorated a Standard Glazepitcher with pictures of the Toad ofToad Hall from “The Wind in the Wil-lows,” the 1908 children’s classic byKenneth Grahame. The finished pitch-er was then sent to Gorham Manufac-turing Co., where it was given a silveroverlay. The well-designed piece, witha complete history, sold for $4,375at a March 2014 Rago Arts auction inLambertville, N.J., even though it hadsome minor imperfections.

Q: I have a Lloyd Loom baby car-riage that was bought for my dad whenhe was born in 1924. The inside hasbeen re-covered, but everything else isoriginal and is still in very good con-dition. It has glass porthole-type win-dows in the side of the hood, a wood-en handle, rubber tires on the wheelsand a brake. A metal tag on it reads,“Lloyd Loom Products” and “MethodPatented Oct. 16, 1917.” Can you tellme approximately when it was builtand the current value? It’s priceless tome because it was my dad’s.

A: Marshall B. Lloyd (1858-1927)was an inventor and manufacturer. Heopened Lloyd Manufacturing Co. inMenominee, Mich., in 1907 and beganmaking children’s wagons. In 1914 thecompany began making hand-wovenwicker baby carriages. Then in 1917Lloyd was granted a patent for a meth-

od of making a wicker-like material byweaving twisted brown wrapping paperaround metal wires. He also inventeda loom that wove the material, makingthe process much faster than weav-ing by hand. Lloyd Loom fabric is thename of the woven material. In 1919Lloyd sold the patent for the processto a British furniture manufacturer.Your baby carriage was made between1917, when the patent was issued,and 1924, the year your father wasborn. Today these carriages are notconsidered safe to use with a realbaby, so they usually sell to doll col-lectors or decorators. It’s worth about$300.

***

Q: I have a Coca-Cola servingtray that matches those I have seenonline. It’s from 1923 and pictures the“Flapper Girl.” How can I tell if it’s areproduction or an original?

A: Coca-Cola’s early lithographedtin serving trays probably are the mostdesirable of Coke collectibles. Anoriginal 1923 Coca-Cola serving trayis rectangular and measures 13 1/4inches high by 10 1/2 inches wide. It’sworth close to $400 if it’s in near-mintcondition or better. Of course, mostold trays aren’t near-mint, so even ifyours is old, it probably won’t sell forthat much. Reproductions of this trayhave been made since the 1970s,some even by the Coca-Cola Co. Somereproductions are round or oval, somemay be marked with phrases like

“Reg. U.S. Patent Office,” and somemay show a slightly altered image.

***

Q: I own a pair of barber scis-sors my father used to cut my hairwhen I was a boy back in the 1930s.Stamped on them is, “Vogel Bros., Chi-cago, Ill., E-Z Edge.” How old are theyand what are they worth?

A: The Vogel family, founders ofVogel Bros., say that the company hasbeen making cutlery for 300 years.Within the past couple of years, Vogel’sassets were sold, but family membersare involved in the two companies thattook over Vogel’s assets: Anvil Corp.

and Wolfe Industries. Your scissorsprobably date from the 1920s or ‘30s.E-Z Edge scissors sell online for $20to $30.

***

Q: I have a wooden cigarette ma-chine that once dispensed old packsof cigarettes, like Lucky Strike, for 15cents. It doubles as a magazine rack. Iknow it was made sometime between1929 and 1933. The label on it reads,“Howard Home Humidor, this humidorand its contents are the property ofC.B. Howard Co., Inc.,” and includesan address in New York. What is itsvalue?

A: Your coin-operated combinationcigarette dispenser and magazine rackprobably was used in hotel lobbies orother places where a smoker might sitdown to read a magazine and have acigarette. Although it’s called a “HomeHumidor,” it’s unlikely someone wouldhave a coin-operated cigarette dis-penser in their home. C.B. HowardCo. made at least one other similardispenser, a combination cigarette ma-chine and end table. These date fromabout 1931. One sold a year ago for$300.

HOROSCOPE Start of summermovie seasonis arriving earlier and earlier

By STEPHANIEMERRYTheWashington Post

Like Christmas candy that pops upat the grocery store in October, the startof the summer movie season is arrivingearlier and earlier. May has only justbegun, and already films are gettinglouder and sillier and superhero-heavy.

If you want to use your brain whilesitting in a movie theater, you mightwant to wait until Oscar season. Fornow, you can relax while Godzillademolishes cities, the Guardians ofthe Galaxy try to save the universeand Seth MacFarlane reinvents theWestern. Read on for promising waysto while away a laid-back summer dayor evening. Opening dates and ratingsmay change. (Check goingoutguide.com/movies for updates.)

May 9• “Locke” (R) – A drama starring Tom

Hardy. The movie takes place entirelyin a car, which makes its dazzling earlyreviews all the more impressive. Hardyplays Ivan Locke, a man taking anurgent and mysterious road trip to Lon-don as his life falls apart, one Bluetoothcall at a time.

• “Neighbors” (R) – A comedy starringSeth Rogen, Rose Byrne and Zac Efron.Rogen plays a responsible adult for achange, taking on the role of a youngfather and husband who goes to warwith his disruptive new neighbors – 50frat boys led by a scheming super-bro(Efron).

• “The Double” (R) – A drama starringJesse Eisenberg, Mia Wasikowskaand Wallace Shawn. Prepare for amind-bender as Fyodor Dostoevsky’snovella lands on the screen courtesy ofdirector Richard Ayoade. The darklycomic thriller follows a mousy officedrone (Eisenberg) who becomes agi-tated when his new co-worker appearsto be his physical twin, right down tothe ill-fitting suit, but with a lot morecharisma.

May 16• “Chef” (R) – A comedy starring

Jon Favreau, Scarlett Johansson andJohn Leguizamo. Everyone seems tobe a foodie these days, so this movie,which blends breezy comedy with to-matillos and truffle oil, should hit thespot. Writer-director Favreau plays atalented chef whose hot-headed tweetgets him fired from an upscale restau-rant, leading him to start a food truck.

• “Million Dollar Arm” (PG) – A familydrama starring Jon Hamm, AasifMandvi and Alan Arkin. This sum-mer’s feel-good sports movie starsHamm as a sports agent seeking aquick fix and a fresh start after losinghis job. Desperate times lead him toIndia, where he recruits cricketerswhom he hopes to transform intomajor league pitchers.

• “Godzilla” (PG-13) – An actionfilm starring Bryan Cranston, AaronTaylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen.With some free time now that “Break-ing Bad” is over, Cranston plays therole every apocalyptic film needs: theeveryman who might save humanityfrom a city-crushing creature.

May 23• “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (PG-

13) – An action film starring HughJackman, Jennifer Lawrence and

Michael Fassbender. Jackman cansing and dance with the best of them,but his real passion seems to be growl-ing and brawling. He again returnsto the role of Wolverine for another“X-Men” installment, which finds himtime-traveling to the 1970s to alterhistory and potentially save man- andmutant-kind.

• “Blended” (PG-13) – A romanticcomedy starring Drew Barrymore,Adam Sandler and Wendi McLen-don-Covey. It has been 10 years sinceBarrymore and Sandler played loveinterests in “50 First Dates” and morethan 15 since they did the same in“The Wedding Singer.” History re-peats itself with the story of two singleparents who don’t hit it off on a blinddate but coincidentally end up takingtheir children on the same Africansafari.

• “Cold in July” (not yet rated) – Adrama starring Michael C. Hall, SamShepard and Don Johnson. Up-and-coming director Jim Mickle, whomade the horror movie “We Are WhatWe Are,” helms this 1980s-set thriller,which follows a Texas man (Hall) whokills an intruder and finds himselftargeted by the deceased criminal’sfather (Shepard).

DVICE

Dr.Wallace: I’m

an excellent student

and an above-average

basketball player. I was

a starting player on our

basketball team. I really

enjoyed being on the

team. Because my grade

in geometry dipped

from an A to a B, my

mother made me stop

playing basketball so I

could spend more time

studying geometry. I

have A’s in all my other

classes. My coach came

over to our house and

tried to get my mother

to change her mind, but

she wouldn’t, so now I’m

off the team and spend-

ing more time studying

geometry. I’m getting

all A’s in the rest of my

classes, but not geome-

try. I’m still getting a B

and I’ll probably wind

up the semester with

that grade.

My mother talked

with my geometry

teacher and asked what

I needed to do to bring

my grade up to an A.

My teacher told her that

it was possible that a B

was the highest grade I

could attain in geometry,

and that made my moth-

er angry and she left

without saying goodbye.

I feel cheated that I

was forced to quit the

basketball team. I know

that a lot of parents

would be thrilled if their

teen had a report card

that had five A’s and

one B. Since you are

a former high school

principal, I’d like your

opinion of having me

quit the basketball team

in an attempt to improve

my B grade up to an A.

– Nameless, San Jose,Calif.

Dear Nameless: I

firmly believe parents

make a mistake when

they take away an

enjoyable educational

activity as punishment

for their student. In your

situation, you did not de-

serve to be punished for

your superior grades.

You should have been

praised. And forcing you

to drop basketball also

punished your team-

mates.

Dr.Wallace: My fiance

has two younger broth-

ers who are identified

as having the learning

problem Attention Defi-

cit Hyperactive Disor-

der. I am concerned that

ADHD is an inherited

disorder, but my fiance

doesn’t think so because

he says that other than

his brothers, no one in

his family ever had the

disorder. He thinks it is

because his father was a

drinking alcoholic when

his brothers were born.

His dad is now sober.

Would you please en-

lighten me? As a former

high school administra-

tor, you will know about

this disorder. – Name-less. Talladega, Ala.

Dear Nameless:According to clinical

psychologist and author

of “Parenting Children

with ADHD,” Vincent

Monstra, PhD., ADHD

is largely an inherited

condition. Most at risk

are those children with

a parent, grandparent or

other close relative with

a childhood history of

similar problems.

During the past 15

years, research has

discovered that victims

of ADHD have abnor-

malities in brain regions

responsible for behav-

ioral control, attention

and judgment. Research

has not determined a

connection between

alcoholism and ADHD.

Dear Abby: I recently went inon a gift with my friend “Ali”for our other friend, “Gena.” Alioffered to purchase and wrapthe gift, a nice wallet from aninexpensive store. Imagine mysurprise when Ali turned up atGena’s birthday party with thewallet elaborately wrapped inexpensive designer paper.

At first, I thought she hadspent more of her money andupgraded our gift, but whenGena unwrapped the designerpackaging to reveal the originalwallet we had selected, I wastaken aback.

It turned out that Ali hadreused the wrapping paper froma gift her husband had givenher, disguising our present assomething it wasn’t.

Gena was clearly disappoint-ed. Other guests who had beeneyeing it looked excited at first,then confused.

I felt our gift wasn’t appre-ciated and we ended up look-ing cheap. I was at a loss forwords. What would have beenthe appropriate way to handlethe situation? Is this normalgift-wrapping practice, or did

Ali cross the line? – Flabber-gasted In Florida

Dear Flabbergasted: Reusingwrapping paper isn’t unusual.Gena’s reaction to the gift wasinappropriate. Instead of lettingher disappointment show, Genashould have smiled and gra-ciously thanked you and Ali forher gift. (Remember the phrase,“It’s the thought that counts”?)As for you, all you needed to saywas “Happy Birthday!”

Dear Abby: With Mother’sDay nearly upon us, would youremind your readers that step-mothers are worthy of recogni-tion, too?

If one has any regard for thefeelings of his or her stepmom,PLEASE make her day by call-ing or visiting her and tellingher how much she means toyou. And I don’t mean a phonecall at 9 p.m.

I married my husband whenhis sons were in their late teens.

Every Mother’s Day for 14 yearsI have been reminded that hissons choose not to recognize me,even though our relationshipsare very good. (One of them isa stepfather himself.) It’s a realheartbreaker, believe me. – Giv-ing Up On Waiting In Oregon

Dear Giving Up On Waiting: Ifyou think you are the only step-mother who feels unappreciatedon Mother’s Day, think again.

I have heard from manystepmothers who have writ-ten letters that are variationson this theme. There can bereasons for it – the fact that youdidn’t raise them, fear that itwould be somehow disloyal totheir birth mother, unresolvedrelationship issues or just beingpreoccupied.

If you haven’t discussed thiswith your stepsons, perhaps youshould.

Or better yet, your husbandshould. But if that doesn’t solvethe problem, for your own sake,stop brooding about it and di-rect your attention elsewhere.

• Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com.

Dear Doctor K: I have a verypainful ingrown toenail. Whatcan I do?

Dear Reader: It’s been my ex-perience that toenails get a littleunruly as we get older. Theyseem to fit the toes perfectlywell for decades, and then theystart doing funny things – thesides start to curl, for instance,and suddenly the nail is press-ing against the skin of the toe.

An ingrown toenail is acommon source of foot pain.When the side of the nail digsinto the skin, the result is pain,irritation, swelling and redness.Swelling and redness, in turn,can be signs of infection. Yourtoe may also hurt more whenpressed and be warm to thetouch.

The big toe is most oftenaffected, but no toe is immune.The problem usually developsbecause the nails have not beentrimmed properly. I wasn’t verygood about keeping my toenailstrimmed when I was younger,but it didn’t seem to matter.The nails didn’t start attackingthe skin. However, once I gotto age 40, I noticed that I had tobe careful about trimming thenails regularly.

Overly tight shoes are alsoa factor in producing ingrowntoenails. This is more of an is-sue for women who wear shoesthat are very narrow in front.Shoe leather constantly press-ing against a nail can change itsshape as it grows.

Usually you can treat aningrown toenail at home.

First, soak your feet in warmwater to soften the nail.

Then cut the part of the nailthat is pressing against theskin. Trim gently, not aggres-sively, or you may hurt your-self.

Once that part of the nailis removed, apply an over-the-counter topical antibiotic. Ifthere is an infection, it may re-spond to the topical treatment.Wear open-toed sandals orroomy shoes to reduce pressureon the toe.

If your toe isn’t better inthree to five days, see a foot-care specialist. Your toe maybe infected, and you may need

to start antibiotic pills (whichtreat deeper infections in thetoe) and have the ingrown por-tion of the nail removed.

If you have a recurrentingrown toenail, your doctorcan remove the part of the nailthat causes the problem. Thisprocedure can be done in theoffice, using chemicals.

Do not treat an ingrowntoenail at home if you havediabetes.

Diabetes can impair yourcirculation, interfering withyour body’s natural ability toheal and fight infection. If youhave diabetes and an ingrowntoenail, see your doctor or foot-care specialist immediately.

You can prevent ingrowntoenails with a few simple mea-sures. Cut your toenails straightacross, rather than rounding offthe corners. Use a toenail clip-per (which is wider and largerthan a fingernail clipper).

Also, clean under your toe-nails regularly.

If only he had adummy entry

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Matthew Lillard, an actor, di-rector and producer, said: “Now,more than ever, we have theability to make films for almostnothing and that’s broken downall barriers of entry. I think it’s anew golden age of filmmaking.”

Make films for almost noth-ing? Interesting. In this deal,though, declarer needs to breakdown the barriers to get to thedummy. How can he do it?

South is in six spades, andWest leads the heart queen toSouth’s ace.

South opens two clubs,strong, artificial and forcing,then rebids two spades. Northresponds with two diamonds,typically 0-7 points, then rebidswith a double negative, two no-trump or three clubs, accordingto partnership preference, toshow 0-4 points. South, out ofideas, takes a shot at six spades.

It is easy to get careless. IfSouth immediately cashes hisspade ace, he can no longermake the contract. Yes, the 4-0break is unlucky, but declarershould be looking at 12 tricksvia five spades, two hearts, threediamonds and two clubs. Butto get three diamond tricks, heneeds a dummy entry. He mustuse dummy’s spade eight.

At trick two, South shouldlead his spade jack. East oughtto play low. But then declar-er unblocks (cashes) his twodiamond winners before leadingthe spade 10.

If East ducks again, Southhas no spade loser and is home.Or if East takes the trick and,say, returns a heart, declarerwins in his hand, leads hislow spade to dummy’s eight,discards his last heart on thediamond queen, ruffs a heart,draws East’s final trump andclaims.
