If you’re an active person, you want eye-glasses that can keep up with your energeticlifestyle. Mothers chasing toddlers aroundplaygrounds need glasses that will not slipwhether they are riding on a swing, goingdown a slide, or making their way aroundthe jungle gym. The same might be said offishing enthusiasts, horseback riders, tennisplayers, hikers, or anyone else accustomedto focusing all of his or her attention on thetask at hand. Few things are more annoyingthan (sun) glasses that must be constantlyadjusted as they slip down perspiring faces.Fortunately, there is a foolproof way to dealwith this problem. Glasses with “riding” or“cable bow” temples curve in a semi-circle tohug the ear. P.S. One of the most importantaspects of a proper eyeglass fitting is select-ing a temple (the long portion that supportsthe frame on the ears, otherwise known asthe “earpiece”) of the correct overall size.

Tammy Pressley and oth-ers in the business ofhealth care can’t say for
sure how much they will bepaid to provide care to the ex-panding number of Medicarepatients.
But Pressley – directorof community, governmentand public affairs at CadenceHealth, the health care or-ganization that runs DelnorHospital in Geneva – said theyknow the general directionit’s headed.
“We fully anticipate ourreimbursements will contin-ue to decline,” Pressley said.“We don’t see any remedy tothe situation on the horizon.”
For the past few years, hos-pitals and other health careproviders and professionalshave grappled with a fast-ar-
riving new reality. While theysay they always have beenpaid less than their costs forservices rendered to patientscovered by Medicare, thereimbursement rates havetightened.
Under the Affordable CareAct – known as “Obamacare”by many – providers alreadywere anticipating belt-tight-ening in response to tighterMedicare reimbursementsand other cost-control mea-sures.
Across the country, small-er hospitals, fearing an inabil-ity to remain solvent amid the
new environment, mergedwith larger hospitals withdeeper pockets.
That process played outlocally, too. Delnor mergedwith Central DuPage Hospitalin Winfield to form the newCadence system in 2011, andthree hospitals in Elgin andAurora became parts of largerhealth care groups.
Still other hospitals, andparticularly those heavily de-pendent on Medicare-eligiblepatients, have laid off workersand reduced services.
However, while healthcare organizations anticipat-
ed the coming changes underthe ACA, this year also hasbrought an added pinch fromthe federal sequestrationbudget cuts, which trimmedMedicare reimbursements by2 percent.
And the federal MedicarePayment Advisory Commis-sion last week recommend-ed altering the payment ar-rangements more by furthercutting payments by about5 percent to hospitals and hos-pital clinics.
Local health care provid-ers said the sequester cutshave had an immediate im-pact on their bottom lines. AtCadence, for instance, about37 percent of patients treatedat both Delnor and CDH arecovered by Medicare. An addi-tional 11 percent are coveredby Medicaid, Pressley said.

Pressley said the seques-ter cuts alone will lead to a$50 million rate reductionat Cadence over the next 10years.
And at Advocate ShermanHospital in Elgin, Medicareand Medicaid also accountfor about half of its revenue, aspokeswoman at that hospitalsaid.
However, she did not speci-fy how much revenue the hos-pital stands to lose.
Representatives of thelocal hospitals said their or-ganizations have respondedto the cuts by trimming ex-penses and attempting to “in-crease efficiencies.”
At Cadence, Pressley saidthe cuts have not promptedstaff reductions or decreasedservices.
“We’re growing as a sys-tem,” Pressley said. “We’redefinitely not contracting.”
At Advocate Sherman, aspokeswoman said the hospi-tal has reduced “supply chaincosts” and increased “produc-tivity through new staffingmodels.”
The cuts also affected phy-
sicians in private practiceand clinics, such as AdvocateDreyer Medical Clinic, whichoperates locally in Auroraand Batavia, as well as Kend-all, Will and DeKalb counties.
There, Jon Christofersen,a doctor who works at theclinic and serves on the clin-ic’s board of directors, saidthe sequester cuts alone havecost the clinic, which servesmore than 700,000 patients,about $750,000 to $1 million ayear.
He said the lost revenuehas prompted the clinic toeliminate profit-sharing bo-nuses for its employees thisyear.
He said the clinic also isunable to pass on higher coststo non-Medicare patients oreven uninsured patients tomake up the difference be-cause of contracts with insur-ers that set rates and policiesto offer discounts to thosepaying in cash.
But even as federal regula-tions further pinch Medicarefunding, local health care pro-fessionals worried that theirburdens will grow as the mar-ket changes in other ways.
Pressley noted that nation-wide, an aging population isadding 11,000 baby boomers to
Medicare eligibility each day.And Christofersen said he
believes reduced Medicare re-imbursements will pull evennon-Medicare third-party re-imbursements down towardthe lowered Medicare ratesthrough the regulated healthinsurance exchanges createdunder the ACA.
“If Medicare was our onlypayer, or if all payers comedown to Medicare rates, as isexpected with the exchanges,we would not have enough in-come to stay in business withour current structure,” Chris-tofersen said.
But Pressley, Christofers-en and others said the healthcare marketplace is evolvingtoo rapidly to offer predic-tions that are too draconian.
Christofersen and otherssaid the way doctors and hos-pitals are reimbursed has be-gun to change, moving awayfrom a fee-for-service modelthat encourages quantityof visits or services to a val-ue-based model that Chris-tofersen said could encouragea better quality of care.
“There are still so manyunknowns,” Pressley said.“But our expectation is tocontinue to plan for decliningMedicare revenue.”

STC Class of 1963 to reunite to musicBy ASHLEY RHODEBECK
ST. CHARLES – As partof their 50th reunion, alum-ni from the St. Charles HighSchool Class of 1963 this week-end plan to belt out tunes theschool’s choir sang five de-cades ago.
And, just as it was whenthey were in school, their for-mer choir director, Jim Getty,will be in attendance.
Alumnus Greg Schmidt,now of Madison, Wis., said theperformance is “really a con-cert in his honor.”
The concert is set for 2 to 4p.m. Sunday at the Little The-atre in St. Charles East HighSchool, 1020 Dunham Road, St.Charles. Admission is free.
Alumni are expected to
make up most of the audience,Schmidt said, but others arewelcome as well.
The concert is part of aweekend of reunion activi-ties, including a gatheringFriday evening at CourtyardMarriott; a tour of the old highschool, now Thompson MiddleSchool; and breakfasts anddinners at local restaurants,according to organizers.
Alumna Nancy WesselsRobinson said in an emailthat classmates are traveling
from California, New Mexico,Maine, Texas, Florida, NorthCarolina, Ohio, Massachu-setts, Kentucky, Colorado,Wisconsin and Pennsylvaniafor the weekend. Lars Peders-en, a foreign exchange studentfrom the class’s senior year,is flying in from Copenhagen,Denmark, she wrote.
“The fact that classmatesare returning after so manyyears speaks to the importanceof place in our lives and helpsus connect with the people and
the area that were instrumen-tal in making us the people weare today,” Robinson said inthe email.
About 20 to 30 people areexpected to sing for Sunday’sperformance, Schmidt said.He said they plan to performsongs from the shows the choirperformed during the class’shigh school career, such as“Oklahoma!,” “Brigadoon,”“Show Boat” and “Carousel.”
Getty, 81, said he and hiswife, Joanne, will be in the au-dience listening.
“It’s a great honor, sure itis,” he said of being invited.“We’re really looking forwardto coming back.”
Getty, who attended theClass of 1960 reunion a fewyears ago, said he began teach-ing at St. Charles High School
in 1959 and stayed until thesummer of 1966. He taught atother schools but settled inGettysburg, Pa., in the 1970s sohe could work as an AbrahamLincoln portrayer, he said,noting he continues to portraythe president.
The former choir directorsaid he still remembers histime in St. Charles. Althoughhe is looking through year-books to refresh his memory,he said, “I’m sure that I’ll re-member many, many of them[his former students].”
He noted he can’t think ofhis former students as stu-dents anymore, because theyare all grown up with careersand families of their own.
But, he added, “the thingsthat connect us will be thesame.”

ST. CHARLES – FormerKane County circuit clerkDeborah Seyller said in fallthat her office had about 5,600DUI cases from 2002 to 2008that had not been sent elec-tronically to the Illinois sec-retary of state, as required,according to an official fromthe secretary of state’s office.
Officials said Seyllerblamed a software problemwith the circuit clerk’s Janosystem. Jano owner NosaBridges said Kane County hadnot paid to update, maintainor repair its system in years.
Seyller did not return amessage left at a businessphone.
Terry Montalbano, li -censing administrator forthe secretary of state, saidthe problem came to light inSeptember, when the officereceived a batch of old convic-tions from 2007 and 2008.
“We had a meeting withher Oct. 31, 2012, a telephoneconference,” Montalbanosaid. “That was the first timeI had an indication there wasan issue. The past circuit
clerk said there were approx-imately 5,600 cases from 2002through 2008. They were go-ing through the cases by handin batches of 100.”
Montalbano said this sortof thing usuallyhappens whena n e n v e l o p eof convictionsfalls behind afiling cabinetand is discov-ered later, notin that volume,nor over an ex-
tended period of years.“The only thing she [Seyl-
ler] told us was they had an is-sue with their vendor,” Mon-talbano said. “Everythingcurrent was caught up, butthey were working in batchesof 100 by hand to catch up. ...We offered her [our] staff to goin and help and speed up theprocess. She declined.”
Montalbano said in a re-cent conversation, Tom Hart-well, the current circuit clerk,said the backlog was down tothe years 2002 and 2003.
Hartwell did not returna text message seeking com-ment, and his voice mail wasfull.
Earlier this week, Hartwellsaid he inherited the problemwhen he was elected in No-vember and walked into thecircuit clerk’s office Dec. 3.
Montalbano said not everyDUI failed to get through, orstate officials would have no-ticed.
The issue is important be-cause as the keeper of records,the secretary of state is sup-posed to have driving convic-tions reported within a week,so the office can revoke orsuspend licenses, record finespaid, community service andother requirements to get a li-cense back.
Montalbano said anyonewho is now getting noticesof license revocations hadnot had adverse action takenagainst their license for thatviolation before.
“There is no magic formu-la,” Montalbano said. “Whenthe record comes in, we haveto go manually into everysingle record and take appro-priate action. The good partof this, from the secretary ofstate’s standpoint, is that thenew circuit clerk is aware ofthe situation, and we are go-ing to work together.”

Mayor Burns to take on soapbox race showdownBy BRENDA SCHORY
GENEVA – A dozen boysand girls will be racing soap-box cars in an official derbyfrom 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Satur-day down Second Street, fromFulton to Campbell streets, inGeneva as part of the SwedishDays Festival.
The event is sponsored bythe Kiwanis Club of Geneva,said Stan Iglehart, the club’s
race director.“I am race director for
the Greater Chicago SoapBox Derby Association, andI wanted to bring the race toGeneva,” said Iglehart, a Ge-
neva resident.This is the first time Ki-
wanis is sponsoring the derbyin Geneva and to kick thingsoff, Mayor Kevin Burns willrace Kiwanis President Rich
Foster at 9 a.m., right beforethe first kids’ race.
Burns said he is preparedto take on the challenge tohighlight publicity for the fes-tival’s first soapbox derby.
“I have competed againstmy brethren in Batavia andSt. Charles and been cham-pion twice over the last fiveyears in a contest held by theThree Fires Council of BoyScouts,” Burns said. “Werace down a hill at Johnson’s
Mound.”Burns said he hopes there
will be bales of hay or a cottoncandy vendor to stop him atthe end of the race.
“Getting into it is onething. Getting out of it is an-other,” Burns said, jokingabout how he’s going to fit inthe nonmotorized car. “May-be they have a shoehorn orsomething. And I do have aDNR [do not resuscitate direc-tive] if things go wrong.”

Bella Bridal shutting its doorsBy ASHLEY [email protected]
ST. CHARLES – For thepast nine years, Bella Bridaland Formal Wear has beenSandy Ryan’s dream fulfilled.
But Ryan, 48, has madethe decision to close her WestMain Street shop so she canhave more time with herdaughters, Sara and Emily.
Sara, 15, was 6 when Ryanopened the St. Charles store,and Emily, now 14, was 5.
“I look at how fast mydaughter’s freshman year justwent, and I’m missing theirlives,” Ryan said. “Three more
years, she’s gone. Four moreyears, my baby’s gone.”
To thank its clientele, BellaBridal is giving away 10 prizes,including a 50-inch TV, com-puter tablet and digital cam-era. Visit the story for details.
No purchase is necessary,Ryan said.
A closing sale began June6, and Ryan expects it willlast a couple of more weeks,she said, noting everythingwas reduced to 50 percent offWednesday.
She and her seamstresswill work limited hours untilNovember to take care of exist-ing customers, she said, add-
ing she has seen many bridalstores close overnight, leavingbrides in a lurch.
Ryan knew she wanted toopen a bridal shop at age 16,when, she watched Prince
Charles and Princess Diana’swedding, she said. She pro-ceeded to study fashion design– specializing in bridal design– at Northern Illinois Univer-sity, she said, adding she madeher prom dresses, weddingdress and dresses for her brid-al party.
“I finished at 1:14 the morn-ing of my wedding,” said Ryan,noting hers was the last onedone. “It kept me calm. It madeeverybody else stressful.”
Ryan opened Bella Bridaland Formal Wear in down-town St. Charles on July 27,2004, and outgrew that locationin three years. It has since oc-
cupied about 5,700 square feetat 2000 W. Main St., just east ofRandall Road.
Some of her first custom-ers – teens shopping for promdresses – are returning to Bel-la Bridal for their weddinggowns, she said, noting thatcontributes to the sadness ofclosing.
“We developed a lot offriendships over the years,”Ryan said.
Ideally, she said, she wouldlike to sell the business be-cause it has a strong custom-er base and good reputation.Interested parties can call thestore at 630-443-9226.

BATAVIA – Batavia Enter-prises officials said they re-main committed to bringing anew Walgreens to downtownBatavia.
“Our goal is to bring todowntown Batavia a buildingthe city can be proud of,” Bata-via Enterprises vice presidentAustin Dempsey said Wednes-
day after meeting with plancommissioners.
Commissioners grantedBatavia Enterprises’ requestto continue design review ofthe plans until the Sept. 18plan commission meeting. Inthe meantime, Batavia Enter-prises will bring the plans be-fore city aldermen.
Batavia Enterprises wantsto move Walgreens from its12,650-square-foot store at 138
W. Wilson St. in the BataviaPlaza into a 15,000-square-footbuilding with a drive-thrujust east of East China Inn inthe shopping center.
Batavia Enterprises ownsBatavia Plaza.
The plans for the storehave elicited debate becausethe store would be set backabout 70 feet from WilsonStreet.
The city’s zoning code re-
quires a front building set-back to be 10 feet or less.
The project includes a fewother challenges, includinga large storm drain line thatruns through the city-ownedportion of the property.
The line acts as an over-flow route from the southerntip of Depot Pond to a pointin the Fox River just northof the city of Batavia’s ESDAgarage.
“We do believe we havefound a way to engineeraround the line,” Dempseysaid.
In addition, because theproperty has poor soil, thenew building would have tobe built on concrete caissonsor piers.
Dempsey said those im-provements would qualifyfor tax increment financingfunds from the city.

“We have it all...”
You have probably heard the saying, seeing is believing. We had heard it too. But each and every
time we visited other retirement communities near our home in Wheaton we found out they just
weren’t able to live up to our expectations. At some point during our search, good friends told us
Oak Crest has it all – great location, beautiful homes, unbeatable amenities and future security. I’ll be honest with you, we were still a
little skeptical. Then we visited Oak Crest and after meeting the friendly staff and talking with people who make Oak Crest their home
we were convinced.
Now, we call Oak Crest home and tell everyone we know that it’s true. Oak Crest has it all and so do we.

BLOOMBERG NEWS
How much will RupertMurdoch, the billionairechairman of News Corp., andWendi Deng have to pay fortheir divorce? A significantsum, no doubt, but chances arepretty good that they’ll be ableto weather the financial storm.
Many divorcing spouseshave a tougher time of it.Those amicable enough touse mediators, collaborativelawyers or even do-it-yourselfforms can dissolve their mar-riages for no more than a fewthousand dollars. But whenterms are contested, bills inthe United States typically run$15,000 to $35,000.
The high costs of figuringout a financial settlement wereemphasized in a new analysisby a New York state commis-sion on divorce policy. Not
surprisingly, the commissionfound that squabbling overspousal support, in particular,increases the cost of divorce.Because judges handle awardsinconsistently and unpredict-ably, divorcing couples are eas-ily frustrated and discouragedfrom settling, further drivingup legal expenses.
So what can be done? Oneidea is to establish a consistentformula for spousal support– at least for couples in fairlyordinary financial circum-stances. A few states haveadopted such formulas for thetemporary assistance that is of-ten put in place while a divorceis in progress. A bill before theNew York Legislature wouldmake the state the first toapply a formula to post-divorcealimony.
Standardization has helpedreform divorce before. Begin-
ning in the 1980s, all 50 statesreduced litigation by creatinga basic structure for child-sup-port payments.
The formula proposedin New York ensures that aspouse pays alimony only if heor she is a much higher earner.It takes into account the differ-ence between the two spouses’incomes and ensures that thepayee doesn’t end up earningmore – or even as much as –the payer. The New York bill isa smart step that we hope willinspire other states to adoptstandard, predictable alimo-ny calculations. In all suchformulas for divorce, judgesneed the authority to deviatein specific cases, according toa list of factors that vary bystate. Having a formula to startwith, though, could help makean uneasy process a little lessexpensive.

WRITING TO US
Jay Schwab Kate Schott
Comparing student surveys – Batavia vs. GenevaA recent Batavia High
School survey about at-risk be-haviors has led to a firestorm ofcomments and the punishmentof one social studies teacher.
As the Kane County Chron-icle has previously reported,Batavia teacher John Drydenwas docked one day’s pay afterwarning his students abouttheir Fifth Amendment rightsto not incriminate themselvesbefore taking the survey.Every parent and student Ihave spoken to has agreedwith Dryden’s actions – sowhy haven’t most membersof the Batavia School District101 board? My questions to theschool board and superinten-dent – sent via email – were notanswered. Nor was an emailsent to Dryden.
I asked a 2013 BHS graduateabout the survey. She informedme that the survey already had
printed names on it and askedquestions about at-risk behav-ior, such as drinking, smokingand thoughts of suicide. I askedthe student about the factthat the surveys already hadnames printed on them andwhether that caused students toanswer questions about illegalbehaviors falsely. She informedme that some students didmisrepresent themselves due tothe interrogative nature of thequestions.
I have taken similar surveysat Geneva High School over theyears. However, I cannot recalla survey that already had myname on it and asked me aboutillegal activities. The most
recent survey I can rememberrequired us to write our nameand grade, then answer twoquestions: whether or not weneeded to talk to someonein the guidance office aboutourselves or another student.We were informed that – if wedid not turn it in – we wouldbe called down to the guidanceoffice.
The survey we were givendid not feel intrusive or un-comfortable. If I would haveneeded to talk with a counseloror social worker about anybehavioral issue – whetherthat behavior was illegal orsomething concerning mymental health – I would havebeen able to without being puton the spot.
The backlash surroundingthe Batavia survey comesfrom the fact that, accordingto the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution and the SupremeCourt’s interpretations of that,you legally have the right tonot incriminate yourself. Thecase Miranda v. Arizona helpeddefine that precedent and setforth the doctrine that anythingyou say under interrogationcan and will be used againstyou.
I learned about these basicrights given to all Americansthis year in my AP UnitedStates Government and Politicsclass. If the Batavia schoolboard would like to arguethe students’ lack of FifthAmendment rights, I highlyrecommend they read themajority opinion of Tinkerv. Des Moines, which statesthat students do not shed theirconstitutional rights at theschoolhouse gate.
The reason I know so muchabout these cases is because
my government teacher drilledthem into my head so that wewould always know when ourcivil liberties were being takenaway. After studying the U.S.Constitution in every socialstudies class of my high schoolcareer, I have only one questionfor the Batavia school board:Why are teachers allowed,and required, to inform theirstudents about Fifth Amend-ment protections many days ofthe school year, except the daywhen the students’ rights arecalled into question?

BATAVIA – When MichelleMarquardt Greene moved to St.Charles with her husband, Kev-in Greene, they had a hard timefinding a place in the Tri-Citieswhere they could participate inone of their favorite activities– swing dancing.
So in January, they decidedto start their own organization,Tri-City Swing Dance. Theynow teach swing dancing andother types of dances, such asthe lindy hop, at A Step AboveDance Academy in Batavia onTuesday evenings.
“Our desire is to share thiswonderful phenomenon with asmany people as possible becausethe friends we have made swingdancing are some of the best wehave in our lives, and we wantto share that experience with asmany people as possible, as wellas build that community aroundourselves,” Kevin Greene wrotein an email.
The classes cost $5 each,which Marquardt Greene saidgoes toward bringing jazz andswing musicians to the com-munity. They’ve raised enoughmoney to throw their first bigevent – hosting the St. Lou-is-based swing band Miss Jubi-lee and the Humdingers at Wa-ter Street Studios in Batavia onSaturday, June 29.
“They’re electri fying,”Marquardt Greene said. “It’slike you step into a room andyou step back into the 1930s or1920s.”
“Their sound is great – if youclose your eyes, you can reallyimagine you’re back in time,”
Kevin Greene wrote in an email.The band is fronted by Val-
erie Kirchhoff, who MarquardtGreene said channels a youngJudy Garland when she sings.The band members dress in vin-tage-style clothing, as well, shesaid.
For Marquardt Greene, jazzand swing music never has goneout of style.
“This particular music isjust classic. You can alwaysplay it, and it will always begreat,” she said. “Today’s mu-sic is rooted in this old jazz beat.It’s almost that standard you goback to that you’re able to easilylisten to.”
Tri-City Swing Dance focus-es on what Marquardt Greenecalls East Coast Swing. A groupof dancers now meets regularlyin Batavia, learning basic swingand the lindy hop in the style ofthe old Savoy Ballroom danc-ers in Chicago from the 1920sthrough the 1940s.
It was through swing danc-ing that Marquardt Greene andher husband met. They wereboth in New York and met oneanother while going out swingdancing with friends. Whenthey moved to St. Charles, theyhad a hard time finding swingdancing venues, so they decidedto start their own.
“We thought, let’s build a
community here,” said Mar-quardt Greene, noting thatthey found several experiencedswing dancers who had beenlooking for the same outlet.
“The dance itself is, to me,a wonderful example of com-munication and shared artisticexploration. One thing I loveabout dancing is that you’re notjust dancing with your partner,you’re also dancing with thesong your dancing to – it’s athree-part partnership,” KevinGreene wrote in an email.
Marquardt Greene said shehopes to fill that void in theTri-Cities by bringing moreswing, jazz and blues acts to thearea through Tri-City SwingDance.
“I feel like there aren’t out-lets in our area that bring musi-cians like this, or hidden talentsto our area,” she said. “This isa very special event becausethey’re high-quality musicianswho are highly sought after. It’san event that creative people inour area will sort of flock to.”

Manwho voices DonaldDuck coming to St. CharlesBy ERIC SCHELKOPF
Since 1985, Tony Anselmohas entertained children andadults alike as the voice ofDonald Duck.
Anselmo is just one of thecelebrities that will appearthis weekend at the MightyCon toy, comic and gamingconvention at Pheasant RunResort’s Megacenter, 4051 E.Main St., St. Charles.
There will be a previewnight from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday,June 21. Hours are from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June22, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sun-day, June 23. Tickets are $10for a day pass and $15 for aweekend pass, available atwww.mightycon.com.
Kane County Chroniclereporter Eric Schelkopf hadthe chance to talk to Anselmoabout his career.
Eric Schelkopf: Is it fun for youto go to these different conven-tions? What do you get out of theexperience?
Tony Anselmo: I have friendsthat live out there for this one,so it’s an opportunity to kind ofkill two birds with one stone.
I do go to a lot of differentconventions, and I always en-joy meeting fans. It’s nice to beappreciated by them.
ES: You’ve been the voice ofDonald Duck since 1985. I under-stand that Clarence Nash, the
original voice of Donald Duck,trained you before he passedaway.
TA: I was his apprentice. So,I was already there as an ani-mator, working on traditionalanimated features. That’s howI started at Disney in 1977.
And I became Clarence’sapprentice for Donald a fewyears into it. I did that forabout three years. I hadn’t re-
corded anything while he wasalive.
When he passed away, hehad arranged it for me to carrythe torch from there.
ES:Was it hard toget thevoicedown?What tips did he give you?
TA: Well, if I told you that, Iwould have to kill you, in trueChicago style.
It was a long process, so it’snot even an easy explanation.
ES:Whatmade youwant to doDonald Duck’s voice?
TA: I was doing other in-cidental voices, and Donaldwasn’t one that I could do, so Ithink he saw potential.
Besides Clarence Nash,who showed me how Donaldsounds, I also had a mentor,Jack Hannah, who was thedirector of the Donald Duckshort cartoons made underWalt Disney.
He was the one who showedme how to draw Donald andanimate him. I don’t know if alot of people know I do both. Asan animator, I’ve worked onsuch films as “Beauty and theBeast,” “The Little Mermaid”and “The Lion King.”
The first one was “Mickey’sChristmas Carol.” That wasthe first chance I had to drawDonald. Clarence did the voiceof Donald in that one, and thena couple of years after that, Itook on the voice, as well.
ES: I understand you want-ed to work for Disney since you
were young.TA: Well, when I was 16, I
would go in and meet withthe animators. I was writingthem for advice and talking tothem on the phone about whatI needed to learn in school towork at Disney.
ES: What makes Donald Duckand the other Disney charactersso enduring?
TA: Walt understood about
putting personality in anima-tion. The Warner Bros. car-toons and the MGM cartoonswere based on gags.
Walt understood person-alities that an audience canrelate to and that are appeal-ing. And that is what makesthem timeless and resonatewith the audience in a waythat you always rememberthem.

ST. CHARLES – WaterStreet Studios, a nonprofit artcenter in Batavia, recentlyhas expanded into St. Charleswith a new location in thedowntown area.
The Water Street Stu-dios PrintLab, 117 W. MainSt., St. Charles, is a roughly1,000-square-foot space in thebasement of Biggby Coffee. Itis a place for working artistsand families to dive into print-making mediums individual-ly or in a classroom setting.
“We’re expanding becausewe’ve run out of space in ourcurrent location in Batavia,”
said Jim Kirkhoff, WaterStreet Studio’s director of de-velopment and one of the artorganization’s founding mem-bers. “It’s a lot of work, but it’san important element of ourmission and something we’vewanted to do for a long time.”
A major component aidingin acquiring additional spacewas the grant Water Streetreceived to buy machinery,which expanded the organi-zation’s offerings in the print,ceramics and metal work me-diums. Water Street received$9,945 from the CommunityFoundation of the Fox RiverValley – a nonprofit, philan-thropic organization – for aprogrammable kiln control-
ler, plasma cutter and screenprinting equipment.
Water Street also receiveda $6,000 grant from the KaneCounty Riverboat Fund pro-gram to put toward the artcenter’s Access program.
The Access program will“make the equipment availableto the general public as partof open studio rental or WaterStreet membership,” Kirkhoffsaid in a news release.
Kirkhoff is looking for-ward to working within St.Charles to bridge the gapsbetween the art communitiesacross the Tri-Cities.
“[Water Street] is a region-al organization, and we con-tinue to look for ways to bringtogether artists from all overthe region,” Kirkhoff wrotein an email, in which he also
wrote that the expansion goesin stride with filling WaterStreet’s mission to create apersonal and diverse venuefor creativity, collaboration,expression and education.
The idea of PrintLab isto allow people to transitionfrom taking classes at WaterStreet Studios to working ontheir own, while also provid-ing working artists the spaceto create without a capital in-vestment, Kirkhoff wrote.
Taking PrintLab to St.Charles was the first step andwill be followed by offeringclasses and other media to thepublic, Kirkhoff added.
PrintLab eventually willoffer lithograph, screen print-ing, relief printing and digi-tal inkjet printing classes andworkshops to the public.
In addition to the classesand workshops, which willbe announced periodicallyon Water Street’s website andFacebook page as the staffcontinue revamping pro-grams for the new facility,PrintLab also will offer Awe-some Art Afternoons – simi-lar to the events at its Batavialocation – from 1 to 3 p.m. onSundays for families to popin and explore different medi-ums of art.
“It’s a way to get familiesworking together on a cre-ative project,” Kirkhoff said.
For information aboutPrintLab or for upcomingclasses and workshops, visitwww.waterstreetstudios.com.Water Street Studios’ Batavialocation is at 160 W. WilsonSt., Batavia.

BLACKHAWKS SPOTLIGHT

St. Charles residents host Hawks games in backyardBy KEVIN DRULEY
ST. CHARLES – Count-less couples walk pastTom Campana’s house
at 322 Illinois St. en routeto nights out or festivals indowntown St. Charles.
Lately, there’s been asimilar characteristic in eachone: The man inevitably stopsnear the backyard whilethe woman strains to pushforward.
Just a second, honey. TheBlackhawks are on.
Using a high-definitionprojector he bought fromhis employer, Campana hasscreened games throughoutthe Stanley Cup playoffs onan 8x12-foot vinyl banneraffixed to the back porch. ScotHampel, who lives in the gar-
den apartment downstairs,proudly serves as co-host inwhat quickly has become thecity’s fastest-growing gardenparty.
“There’s nothing betterthan watching it on a screenlike this,” Campana said.“It’s like being at a drive-in,you know. Being that big, it’spretty neat.”
Tenants of the propertyfor a combined 23 months,Campana and Hampel – bothworking single fathers – dis-covered heightened entertain-ing potential in their pad lastfall.
They set up the prehistoricversion of their display, a bedsheet stapled to the pillars onthe back porch, for collegefootball during ScarecrowFest in October. Out cameneighbors, passers-by and
their families.Through it all, Campana
and Hampel have operatedunder the “more the merrier”credo, never once ponderingadmission charges and usual-ly offering barbecue, drinksor hors d’oeuvre.
As the Hawks faced theBoston Bruins in Game 4of the Stanley Cup Finalon Wednesday, the spreadincluded fruit salad, crack-ers and a salami and cheesetray.
A 12-inch cookie cake –appreciably smaller than thescreen and iced with “LET’SGO HAWKS” – lay in waitfor later, perhaps a dessertto enjoy next to the patiofire pit.
“It’s not like we partyevery night, you know. We’veboth got responsible jobs,”
said Hampel, a superinten-dent with Schramm Con-struction Corp. in St. Charles.“But on the weekends andstuff, it’s like let loose. We’vegot a gorgeous yard hereclose to town.”
The yard, near publicparking and the intersec-tion of 4th Street, featuresample seating space on thepatio or lawn, plus enoughroom to set up a bags game,as was the case Wednesday.Weekend crowds are alwaysbigger, and Campana andHampel expect more of thesame for Saturday’s Game 5,when they likely will rent aporta-potty for guests.
The sound system operatesthrough speakers at a loudbut nonintrusive level.

VIEWS
Cougars ready for second half
GENEVA – The Cougars men-tioned Boise far less frequently as thefirst half of the season progressed.
In early April, they referencedthe parent Cubs’ Short-A affiliate asa proving ground, the place wheremuch of the Kane County rostershined in 2012.
By mid-May, Boise was a less-con-sidered locale as the clubhouse grewacclimated to its more metropolitanhome surroundings.
With the second half of the seasonset to open today, the capital of Idahosuddenly has resurfaced on players’lips. No, the Cougars aren’t yearningfor the Northwest League, but theywould like to recapture what boostedthem in the homestretch of last sea-son after a 30-36 first half in 2013.
“Absolutely,” reliever Eddie Oroz-co said. “I mean, this is kind of thesame group we had last year in Boise.And our first half was miserable. Wewere bad back in our first half, andthe second half was a completely dif-ferent story. So I expect nothing butthe same results this year. We made apush to the championship game. Wewere three outs away, so you know,I’ve got a confidence in this club wehave.”
That’s been the refrain throughoutthe first season of a two-year playerdevelopment contract between theCubs and Cougars.
This week’s Midwest League All-Star game affirmed preseason chattersurrounding the core of top prospectson the Cougars’ roster, as six playerssuited up for the Western Divisionteam.
Right fielder Bijan Rademacher,a 13th-round pick of the Cubs a yearago, was one of them. While he mightnot have registered as prominentlyon the early radar as some team-mates, his breakout proves the depthof talent in the clubhouse.
With 70 games to go and a pair ofsecond-half playoff spots up for grabs,however, the Cougars know it’s timeto cash in.
“Yeah, we were close in a couplegames, but we didn’t get it done. Thesecond half’s got to be a different sto-
ry,” Rademacher said. “The secondhalf has got to be all about getting itdone, making sure that we get thatlast hit or we get that last runner toscore so we do get those Ws instead ofthe Ls.”
In February, Cubs director ofplayer development Brandon Hyderecalled his rocky early-season visitsto Boise in 2012, describing a younggroup that struggled to harness itsfocus.
By the time the Hawks’ 77-gameregular season concluded, the club-house fabric was completely changed.Cougars manager Mark Johnson,
who also made the jump from Boisethis season, saw it, too.
“Consistency overall, and all theother stuff will take care of itself,”Johnson said. “We’ve got to start bybeing consistent.”
Do that, and the Cougars knowthey’ve got the stars to make a playoffrun. Maybe then, they’ll be speakingnostalgically of Geneva and the sum-mer of 2013.

LEGION BASEBALL: ST. CHARLES POST 342 17, RICHMOND-BURTON 2 (5 INN.)
Post 342’s potent offense continuesBy KEVIN SHEPKE
ST. CHARLES – The St.Charles American Legion Post342 baseball team struck ear-ly and often in its 17-2, five-in-ning victory against Rich-mond-Burton on Wednesdaynight at St. Charles North.
A day after playing to an 11-all, six-inning tie after trailingNew Lenox, 11-1, Post 342’s po-tent offense continued its as-sault on overmatched R-B asit connected for 16 hits, includ-ing six doubles.
“It’s nice to win a laugher,
but they’ve got a young teamover there so you never knowwhat they’re going to showup with,” Post 342 coach DaleWilderspin said. “Obviouslythat worked against them, butI give our guys a lot of creditand they played really well.”
Along with its offensive bar-rage, Post 342 starting pitcherCollin Peterson (St. CharlesNorth) was equally impressiveas he retired the first 11 bat-ters in a row before giving upa fourth-inning single to Rich-mond-Burton’s No. 3 hitter.
“My arm’s been botheringme a little bit lately so it feels
good to come back from that,”said Peterson, who finishedwith seven strikeouts andonly one walk. “I pitched pret-ty well and had a good game.The whole team did a real nicejob.”
Jack Dennis, a fellow Northproduct, highlighted the per-formance as he went 2 for4 with two doubles and twoRBIs.
“This was Jack’s first gamewith us and obviously theyoung man can swing the bat,but he’s a good player and he’sgoing to help us a lot,” Wilder-spin said.
Post 342 scored a pair ofruns in the first, one in thesecond and seven in both thethird and fourth innings. AfterNick Huskisson (St. CharlesEast) drove in SCN’s Tim Mis-ner (single) on a sacrifice flyto center in the first inning,Dennis connected for the firstof his two doubles, a bloop shotdown the right field line, al-lowing North’s Ryan Thomas(double) to score.
A run-scoring double fromMisner in the second gave Post342 a 3-0 lead and Huskisson’stwo-run single to left pushedthe hosts advantage to 10-0 in
the third.“We had a really good day
at the plate,” Peterson said.“Guys were really seeing theball well and they were sittingback and driving pitches outof the infield, so it was good tosee that.”
A bases-clearing, three-runsingle from Geneva’s Dan Ber-endt in the fourth highlightedPost 342’s second seven-runframe as the team improved to8-2-1.
“We didn’t quit and every-body kept fighting,” Petersonsaid. “So hopefully this willcarry over to the next game.”
NBC commentator DocEmrick drowns out anylate-evening lawn mowers,but is not so boisterous todraw any complaints fromneighbors, Hampel said.
Mother Nature is anobstacle in the first periodwhen the sun sets after 7p.m. starts, but Hampel andCampana – an employee ofOlympic Signs in Lombard –are brainstorming some sortof shield.
The two have designson hosting watch partiesfor Bears games and selectcollege football games in thefall, but for now, it’s hockeyseason.
“Once the sun comesdown, we get the fire going.The torches. It’s fun. It’s awe-some,” Hampel said. “Andwe get a lot of neighborscoming in and stuff. It’s coolat night, just the crystal clearof the TV and the morale ofthe whole [thing].”
On Wednesday, Ham-pel brought his 55-inchhigh-definition televisionout to the patio for the firstperiod. The display sizedidn’t seem to faze the groupwhen the Hawks’ MichalHandzus broke through fora short-handed, first-periodgoal.
The celebration was mut-ed when the Bruins scoredmoments later. Win or lose,the clatter dissipates withina few moments of the finalbuzzer.
“We don’t want to have
‘Project X’ going on or any-thing,” Campana said.
No, nothing so severe.Just a convenient neighbor-hood party for anyone withinwalking distance or earshot.
Game on.

BLACKHAWKS
Teammates come
to Hossa’s defenseBy TOM MUSICK
BOSTON – Blackhawks for-ward Andrew Shaw is happyto take on towering defense-man Zdeno Chara, so it cameas no surprise when he chal-lenged those who questionedhis teammate’s toughness.
Namely, former Hawksforward Tony Amonte, whocriticized Marian Hossa formissing Game 3 of the Stan-ley Cup Final because of anupper-body injury. RegardingHossa, Amonte told a Bostonradio station that during thefinals, “I think you play untilyou can’t play anymore.”
Shaw snickered as he de-scribed Hossa to anyone whodidn’t know the 14-year vet-eran. Hossa returned to thelineup Wednesday for Game 4and joined a line with MichalHandzus and Patrick Sharp.
“He’s a warrior, man,”Shaw said. “He’s played a lotof hockey. It’s unbelievablehow much he’s played andhow much he battles and whathe battles through. He’s agreat player.”
That message resonatedthroughout the Hawks’ lockerroom.
Plenty of former playerssuch as Denis Savard, EddieOlczyk and Troy Murray rou-
tinely visit the locker roomand mingle with players. Thesame cannot be said for Amon-te, who played for the Hawksfrom 1993 to 2002 in additionto stints with the New YorkRangers, Phoenix Coyotes,Philadelphia Flyers and Cal-gary Flames.
Hawks forward PatrickKane said Hossa’s toughnesscould not be questioned. Hos-sa has played in 1,018 regularseason games since enteringthe NHL in 1998 with the Otta-wa Senators.
“A lot of those guys cansay what they want, but theydon’t really know what’s go-ing on and what the situationis,” Kane said. “Sometimes, ifyou don’t know what’s goingon, you’re better off to not sayanything at all and just let itplay out the way it is.
“It’s the Stanley Cup Final.Everyone is playing throughinjuries, bruises and scars,whatever it may be. Everyoneis trying to do their best to getout there and play as best asthey can.
“Sometimes, it’s just some-thing you can’t do.”
Waiting and ready: Hawksforward Jamal Mayers skat-ed with the second line duringmorning skate in place of Hos-sa, who was the only player onthe team to miss the session.

NBA FINALS: GAME 7: SAN ANTONIO AT MIAMI,8 P.M. TODAY, ABC
By JASON REIDThe Washington Post
MIAMI – Depending on your
perspective, the Miami Heat
completed an epic comeback or
the San Antonio Spurs suffered
a stunning collapse in Game 6
of the NBA Finals. What every-
one can agree upon is that the
best thing in team sports is up
next.
Tonight, the Heat and Spurs
meet here in a decisive Game
7. It’s a one-game showdown
to close a championship series
that’s been among the most
compelling in league history.
No other ending would have
sufficed.
The Heat and Spurs haven’t
just played inspired basketball.
They’ve provided great the-
ater: tragedy and triumph all
in 48 minutes (a little longer in
Game 6).
We’ve seen a villain, a hero,
failure and redemption. And
that just describes the per-
formance of Miami’s LeBron
James. Both teams are capable
of nailing the final act.
The best players star on this
stage. During his 12 Finals ap-
pearances, Boston’s Bill Rus-
sell played in five Game 7s. He
took home five titles. Willis
Reed’s gutsy performance in
1970 is part of NBA lore, but not
as many people remember that
Clyde Frazier scored a game-
high 36 points in the Knicks’
Game 7 victory over the Lakers.
In 1988, James Worthy dropped
36 points on Detroit to help the
Lakers become the first repeat
NBA champion since Russell’s
Celtics accomplished the feat
in 1969. No wonder they called
him Big Game James.
Miami has one as well. For
LeBron James’s critics, every
game is a referendum on his ca-
reer. He should have received a
lot of votes after his last game.
The country’s most scruti-
nized athlete scored 18 points
in the fourth quarter and over-
time combined as Miami over-
came a 10-point fourth-quarter
deficit in Tuesday’s 103-100 vic-
tory. James overwhelmed the
Spurs while leading a furious
rally. Don’t expect him to let up
now.
“At the end of the day, it’s
the last game of the season. You
have to muster up all the ener-
gy that you might have,” James
said. “It’s not about X’s and O’s
at this point. They know what
we’re running. We know what
they’re running. We know their
personnel. They know our per-
sonnel. It’s about getting stops
defensively, staying in it men-
tally, not turning the ball over
and making a few shots.”
That seems simple enough.
History, however, tells us you
don’t want to play on the road
in Game 7s of the Finals. Visit-
ing teams have a dreadful 3-14
record. The Washington Bul-
lets were the last road team to
win a Game 7 – in 1978. That’s a
serious home-court advantage.
Hosting Game 7 is the
Heat’s prize for having the
NBA’s best regular season re-
cord, “and if you said . . . we
could decide this season with a
Game 7 in our building, every
single one of us would take it,”
Miami Coach Erik Spoelstra
said. “You know, they’re the
best two words in team sports:
Game 7.”

HOROSCOPE The Secret State coming to St. CharlesBy ERIC SCHELKOPF
The members of Balti-more-based The Secret Statewere as surprised as anyonewhen the music video forthe group’s hit single “TheBiggest Mistake” became aviral sensation, garneringmore than 67 million viewson YouTube.
The Secret State willbring its vibrant electron-ic-tinged rock sound Thurs-day to River Rockhouse,106 S. Riverside Ave., St.Charles. The band will sup-port Smile Empty Soul andBoy Hits Car.
Tickets are $13, availableat www.river-rockhouse.com.
Kane County Chroniclereporter Eric Schelkopf hadthe chance to talk to TheSecret State digital perform-er Danny Espinosa about theband’s current activities.
Eric Schelkopf: You guys arereally generating a buzz. Thevideo for “The Biggest Mistake”has more than 67 million views.What do you think about thevideo connected with people?
Danny Espinosa: Yeah, Idon’t know. I can’t explain it.
It’s a very relatable song.It’s kind of a universal song.It’s something that happensto everyone. I would havebeen ecstatic if it hit 100,000views.
There’s only so much youcan do. And then you put itout on the Internet, and seeif people gravitate towards itor not. It just so happens inour case they did.
ES: It seems like YouTube isalmost like radio these days.
DE: Definitely. A lot of peo-ple don’t even buy albumsanymore. They just look upthe song they want to hearon YouTube and listen to it.
ES: Another video, “Fight or
Flight,” is a song about a patrolon deployment in Afghanistanand their homecoming. Youyourself served in the CoastGuard and served in Afghanistanas a defense contractor.
A few of your band membersalso have served in the military.Did you want to make thevideo because of your militaryexperience?
DE: We always wanted todo something. We wantedto kind of give back to thepeople who serve.
The song when we wroteit, it just kind of fit. And itwas cool how it all just kindof progressed.
ES: The video was shot atFort Irwin in California at theU.S. Army’s National Training
Center. I understand you got alot of access and clearance thathad never before been grantedby the U.S. Army. Were yousurprised by that?
DE: I wasn’t so surprised,because it’s for a good cause.
They had real soldiers outthere. They had explosivesgoing off. Pretty much, it wasa training exercise.
ES: Why did you decide toserve?
DE: When I was 18, Ijoined the Coast Guard. Ialways felt like militaryservice was very admira-ble.
After 9/11, I felt likebeing in the Coast Guardwasn’t enough. I took thedefense contractor job and
had the opportunity to goout and serve.
ES: How did you make thetransition to being a musi-cian?
DE: I was in Afghanistanfor six months, and then Itook two weeks off, and sawDeadmau5 in concert.
Afterwards, I said, “Ihave to at least try this.” Iwas always into electronicmusic.
After that, I bought amini-keyboard and a drummachine that I had sentto Afghanistan. So, prettymuch every time I wasn’ton a mission and working,I was on my mini-keyboardand drum machine goingbananas.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16
and, if I must say so
myself, a pretty good
kid. I’m on the honor
roll at school, and I
teach Sunday school
at my church. I’ve
never experimented
with drugs, alcohol or
premarital sex. I’ve
got a boyfriend who
my parents approve
of, and I have an open,
wonderful relation-
ship with my parents.
I’m vice president
of my sophomore class
and also a yell leader.
Since I’m a very active
teen, I need a certain
amount of money to
survive. I’d like to get
a part-time job, but my
parents won’t let me.
They believe that all of
my spare time should
be directed toward my
studies.
My problem is that
I need $25 per week for
my necessities – food
(snacks), yearbook,
movie tickets, etc. My
parents do buy all of
my clothes and give
me $2 every day for my
lunch, but they only
give me $15 a week
allowance. That really
limits my lifestyle.
What can I do to get
them to raise my
allowance to $25 per
week? Please hurry
with your answer. –Janeen, San Antonio,Tex.
Dear Janeen: Asking
for a 67 percent raise
in “pay” is asking a
lot. Chances would
be better if you asked
for $3 and learned to
budget your money. Be
thankful that you have
a fair allowance. Many
teens would be thrilled
to have $15 a week
spending money.
I agree with your
parents refusing to
say yes when you
inquired about getting
a part-time job. You
are considered a full-
time student, and this
should dominate your
time.
Dr. Wallace: My
best friend is 17 and
very pregnant. She
and her boyfriend
were planning to get
married a month ago,
but he was killed in an
automobile accident
five months ago. The
baby is due in about
a month. I received a
call from my friend’s
cousin inviting me to
a baby shower for her
and I told her I’d be
there.
When I told my
mother about the
shower, she said she
had never heard of a
baby shower for an
unwed mother. She
said she wouldn’t keep
me from going, but
she would prefer that I
wouldn’t.
She thinks that the
shower is honoring
someone who com-
mitted a huge sin. I’m
going to attend, but
I’d like to know what
you think about this.
My mom always reads
your column, so I’m
hoping that you will
agree with me that my
friend needs all her
friends now. – Corina,El Paso, Tex.
Dear Corina: I agree
that you should attend
the baby shower. The
spotlight will be on the
baby who is pure and
sinless. Good friends
should be together
to share important
moments, and the
friendship should last
a lifetime. You both
are fortunate to share
a close friendship and
to have each other to
lean on in times of
need.
• Dr. Robert Wallacewelcomes questionsfrom readers. Emailhim at [email protected].
Dear Abby:The letter youprinted from “Gun-Shy in SouthCarolina” (March 5), about theantics of her gun-toting, alcoholicfather-in-law, caught my atten-tion. I’m a former mental healthclinician and program inspector. Idiscussed that letter with a friendwho is a psychiatrist.
“Grandpa” has probablyalready violated a municipalordinance regarding discharginga firearm in corporate limits. Iagree with you that he has en-dangered his grandchildren. Myfriend advised that, according tothe local interpretation of mentalhealth statutes, Grandpa might beeligible for involuntary commit-ment and evaluation in a psychiat-ric facility. He could be disarmedby the police, if necessary.
“Gun-Shy” should heed hermotherly instincts, stay homeand refuse to visit Grandpa untilhe enters treatment. Otherwisethere’s a high probability that shewill mourn the loss of one or moredead children.
Grandpa seems to think thatbooze and guns make him brave.A brave person is a militarymedic, a member of the U.S. Coast
Guard and the thousands of firstresponders who demonstrate theirbravery by saving human lives,not threatening them. In fact,many Medal of Honor recipientsearn the award not by the numberof enemies killed, but lives saved.– Responsible Gun Owner InPennsylvania
Dear Responsible: I agree. Somereaders felt I should have beentougher in my response, and thatGun-Shy and her children shouldnot visit Grandpa at all. Failureto act on her fears is called childendangerment and could resultin the children being taken away.Readers let me have it with bothbarrels:
Dear Abby:Your answer to“Gun-Shy” was off the mark! As avet and former law enforcementofficer, I think the whole familyis in “wimp” mode. For adults towatch a drunk adult fire a gun inthe air around his family and notcall 911 was ignorant and danger-
ous. ALL states have laws aboutfiring guns in the air (illegal),firing guns while drunk (ille-gal), unsecured loaded weapons(illegal), and firing guns aroundchildren in a home environment(illegal). – Smokey In Florida
Dear Abby:Thank you forreminding your readers that whensomeone shoots a gun into the air,the bullet comes down some-where. A child near my hometowndied last New Year’s Eve when shestepped outside with her grand-mother to watch the fireworks anda bullet fell to earth and lodged inher brain. – Christina In Mary-land
Dear Abby:Why didn’t yousuggest a family intervention forthe grandfather’s alcoholism?The family could be helped bygoing to Al-Anon to learn how todetach with love from his disease.Alcoholics need to understandhow their drinking affects themand others. Possible estrangementfrom his grandchildren might be away to break through his denial. –Steve C. In San Francisco
• Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com.
Dear Doctor K: I’ve startedgiving pureed solid foods to my2-month-old daughter. My sisterdoesn’t think this is safe. What’syour opinion?
Dear Reader: I agree that it’s toosoon. Pediatricians advise wait-ing until a baby is 4 months oldto introduce solid foods. You caneven wait a bit longer. Breast milkor iron-fortified infant formulaprovides all the nutrients yourbaby needs for the first 6 months.There is no proven benefit fromintroducing solid foods before 4months, and there are risks.
Babies younger than 4 monthsare not physically ready for solidfoods. They usually cannot sit upby themselves or hold their headsup well. Also, the muscles in themouth that help guide solid foodinto the back of the throat andthen down into the stomach arenot fully developed.
This means that when theytry to swallow solid foods into thestomach, the food can drop downinto the lungs, not the stomach.That’s called aspiration, and itcan cause pneumonia.
Giving solids before 4 monthsmay increase the risk of obesity,Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease,although these disease links are
not solidly established. It may alsoincrease the risk of eczema and offood allergies. Breast-fed babieswho start solids early tend to stopbreast-feeding sooner. Given allwe know about the health benefitsof breast-feeding, that’s not a goodthing.
Most babies develop the abilityto eat solid foods at 4 to 6 months.But even when your baby isready, learning to eat solids takestime and practice.
Before you begin, talk withyour pediatrician. Most recom-mend one of the iron-fortified in-fant cereals, such as rice, oatmealor barley, for the first food. Thesetypes of cereals are least likelyto cause allergies. Foods rich invitamin C, such as orange juice,can help the absorption of iron.
There is no value, and there ispotential harm, from adding ei-ther salt or table sugar to the food.You will still be giving the babymilk or formula as you graduallyintroduce solid foods. Be carefulnot to feed the baby too many
calories. Your pediatrician or anutritionist can help you plan.
Watch for symptoms of allergy,such as rash, wheezing, stom-achache, diarrhea, gas, fussinessor vomiting. If you notice anyof these things, stop giving thefood in question and consult yourpediatrician.
Also keep the following inmind as you start your baby onsolids:
• Add only one new food ata time. Wait five to seven daysbetween new foods so that youhave time to watch for a possibleallergy.
• Do not give honey to yourinfant before 1 year. Honey cancause life-threatening food poi-soning (botulism).
• Wait until your child is atleast 3 years old to give small,round or hard foods that cancause choking. Examplesinclude grapes, raw carrots,popcorn, hot dogs, raisins, nuts,seeds, jelly beans and other hardcandies.

More on watchingthose extra losers
BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
Jim Rohn, a motivationalspeaker and author, said, “Thefew who do are the envy of themany who only watch.”
At the bridge table, the fewwho watch are the envy of themany who look but do not takethe next vital step.
The play theme in today’sdeal catches out many lessexperienced players. They do notwatch their losers or then workout how to eliminate the one thatthey cannot afford.
South is in four spades. Westleads the heart queen. Howwould a watchful declarer play?
North used a transfer bid. Onthe next round, he was border-line between rebidding twono-trump and three no-trump.He was swayed by the goodspade-suit quality into jumpingto game. (Do not commit yourside to a high-level spade con-tract unless you know of at leastan eight-card fit. Here, Southmight have only a doubletonspade.) South, despite his 4-3-3-3distribution, corrected to thenine-card fit. Note that threeno-trump would fail after a heartlead. Those missing aces arefatal.
An observant South will seefour potential losers: one ineach suit. It is impossible to doanything about the three aces, sodeclarer must work out how toavoid conceding a heart trick.
If South plays a trump attrick two, East should win andreturn a heart, condemning thecontract. Instead, declarer mustlead a club at trick two. SupposeWest ducks this trick, takes thesecond club, and plays anotherheart. South wins and cashes hislast club, discarding dummy’sremaining heart. Now, finally, itis time to tackle trumps.
