New house for the elderly opens its doors near BataviaBy ERIC SCHELKOPF
BATAVIA – A seven-bed-room house near Bataviahas a new lease on life as avacation home for the elder-ly.
The 6,800 -square- foothouse on Seavey Road waspurchased by the Chicagononprofit group Little Broth-ers – Friends of the Elderly,which has the mission of re-lieving isolation and loneli-ness among men and womanage 70 and older who live inChicago.
Audrey’s House is namedfor the late Audrey Chesner,one of the group’s elders,who left a bequest after her
death in 2011 to encouragethe group to find a new vaca-tion home after its previoushome in Rochelle was dam-aged beyond repair duringthe winter of 2009.
Chicago resident ConnieSolano, 87, is one of the se-niors who has been vacation-ing in the home this week.Solano also is a member ofLittle Brothers’ Elder Advi-sory Committee.
“I didn’t expect such anenormous place,” Solanosaid. “I love gardening, and Iwant to start an herb garden.There is so much space backthere.”
Since June, groups of se-niors have been vacation-ing at the house and going
on different outings, suchas to Kane County Cougarsgames. Programs and activi-ties are offered free of chargeto seniors.
Simone Mitchell-Peter-son, chief executive officerof Little Brothers Friends ofthe Elderly, said there wereseveral reasons why thehouse on Seavey Road wasappealing to the group.
“There were many Amer-icans with Disabilities Actmodifications already madeto the house,” Mitchell-Pe-terson said. “And you feellike you are in the country.It had a homey, but real get-away feeling to it.”
Cornfields surround the5-acre sprawling property.
At the same time, she notedthe house is convenientlynear shopping centers andother amenities.
Eventually, Little Broth-ers Friends of the Elderlyhopes to provide similar ser-vices to seniors in this area,Mitchell-Peterson said. Shesaid she believes the elderlyshould have the same oppor-tunities to participate in ac-tivities as everyone else.
“Just because you are inthe eighth decade of your lifedoesn’t mean those passionsgo away,” she said.
Information about LittleBrothers Friends of the El-derly is available at its web-site, www.littlebrotherschi-cago.org.

Library board schedules interviews
By BRENDA [email protected]
GENEVA – The Genevalibrary board has scheduleda special closed meeting at 6p.m. Aug. 20 to interview can-didates for a vacancy on theboard.
Six are seeking to be ap-pointed to the board: Jen-nifer Bruggeman, Bob Mc-Quillan, Ellen Fultz Schmid,Zachary Ploppert, CharlesO. Ellenbaum and WilliamBroderick.
The names and their ap-plications were releasedthrough a Freedom of Infor-mation Act request.
In his application, Ellen-baum, a 12-year resident ofGeneva, wrote that he has alifetime of being “hooked” onlibraries.
“For me, [libraries] arethe gateway to new and won-derful worlds,” Ellenbaumwrote. “I don’t believe ademocratic society can exist,much less flourish, withoutlibraries open to all. ... I aman enthusiastic advocate forand user of libraries.”
Ellenbaum served as alibrary board member inGlen Ellyn from 1991 to 1995and, after moving to Geneva,served on the Strategic PlanAdvisory Committee from2002 to 2005.
A retired anthropologyprofessor, Ellenbaum workedwith PBS and the AnnenbergFoundation to do a film serieson archaeology.
Ploppert, a fourth-gradeteacher in Batavia, serves onthe Strategic Plan AdvisoryCommittee, Historic Preser-vation Commission and theGeneva Downtown RezoningWork Group.
“As an educator and dedi-cated community volunteer,I will use my knowledge andexperiences to help promoteliteracy and library ser-vices,” Ploppert wrote.
His goal is to work withthe board, staff and public “toenhance library services andhelp keep the ... library cur-rent in the 21st century.”
Ploppert has lived in Ge-neva 24 years and twice lostelections to serve as a 1stWard alderman.
Schmid, a resident of thecommunity for 13 years, isa past employee of the Ge-neva library from 2001 untilMarch, when she left to be-come a law librarian at theKane County Law Library.She noted that she couldcontribute her expertise inlibrary and information sci-ence, as well as her experi-ence working collaborativelyon a team, if she were chosento be on the board.
“I believe the Geneva Pub-lic Library District is oneof Geneva’s most valuableassets,” Schmid said. “I canattest firsthand to the import-ant role [the library] holds inour residents’ lives and inour community’s future suc-cess.”
McQuillan, who lost a2013 bid for mayor to incum-bent Kevin Burns, is an 11-year resident of Geneva andworks as a regional salesmanager for a beverage com-pany. McQuillan said he is“an independent thinker whowill do the right thing forthe entire community – notjust special-interest groups.... I have a true commitmentto the freedom of expressionand listen to all sides beforemaking a decision.”
Bruggeman, who current-ly works as a human resourc-es and risk manager at Bata-via Park District, has lived inGeneva five years.
“I love working for a pub-lic service organization,” shewrote as a reason for want-ing to serve on the board. “Ibelieve my passion for read-ing and programs for all agesis a great fit for the libraryboard.”
Broderick, a human re-sources consultant for exec-utive searches, has been aGeneva resident for a year.
A member of the Huntley TeaParty since 2011, Broderickwrote that he has been activein local and national politics“in support of candidatesconsistent with key princi-ples of constitutionally limit-ed government, fiscal respon-sibility and free markets.”
With his background,Broderick wrote that hecould assist the library board“in developing and imple-menting best practices in[human resources] manage-ment to enable fulfillment oflibrary goals.”
“As a library user, relyingupon library resources ... [I]normally consume one to twobooks per week,” Broderickwrote.
As a board member, Brod-erick wrote he could assistin developing plans and pro-grams for the future direc-tion of the library.
The vacancy was createdwhen board member SteveAndersson resigned lastmonth to pursue his cam-paign for state representativein the Nov. 4 election. An-dersson won the Republicanprimary March 18 and doesnot face opposition in thegeneral election.
The person who fills thevacancy would serve until atwo-year seat becomes openin April 2015, officials said.

ELBURN – Tom Reynoldsrecalls the days when the El-burn Lion’s Club’s signaturefestival – Elburn Days – didn’thave one of its most popularfeatures. Reynolds, who hasbeen with the club for morethan 40 years, said he wasamong those fighting againstadding a beer garden in the1970s.
Years later, Reynolds saidhe is glad he didn’t win thatbattle. He notes the beer gar-den has been a success, and itprovides a section of the festi-val where the drinking can becontained.
And with the festival’smain stage nearby, he said ithas turned out to be a majordraw.
“We really didn’t want abeer garden for a long time,”he said. “And those of us whowere against it for so longwere wrong. … It turned outto be a huge money-maker forus. And they put the enter-tainment right there.”
The 85th annual ElburnDays festival begins Friday.The parade starts at 6 p.m. onRoute 47 in downtown Elburn.
Associated events startearlier Friday – a rummagesale and bake sale at St. GallChurch at 8 a.m., a book saleat the Town and CountryPublic Library at 9 a.m. andrummage sales at Communi-ty Congregational Church at9 a.m.
After the parade Friday,the festival begins, with carni-val rides, food stands, bingo,entertainment and the beergarden.

Batavia aldermen waiting forinformation on industrial park
By ERIC [email protected]
BATAVIA – Batavia alder-men have decided they wantmore detailed plans from adeveloper about its plans fora proposed industrial parkat Kirk Road and Wind Ener-gy Pass before hearing againfrom the group Keep BataviaNeighborhoods, which is op-posed to the project.
“I would like to know whatit is going to look like,” 2ndWard Alderman Alan Wolffsaid Wednesday, after Tues-day’s Joint Committee of theWhole meeting. “The petition-er hasn’t brought us a finalizedplan. I have to look at this aswhat benefits the entire city.”
The group’s members,along with other residents,recently crowded the Bata-via City Council chambers toshow opposition to the project.Keep Batavia Neighborhoods
had been invited back to talkto aldermen at the Aug. 19Joint Committee of the Wholemeeting.
But aldermen at Tuesday’smeeting decided they want-ed to see more informationfrom the developer before theproposal is discussed again.Members of Keep BataviaNeighborhoods voiced disap-pointment about the decision.
“KBN has researched andproven that many of the rea-sons that Batavia city staffused to justify the rezoning,which KBN has now found areabsolutely not true; such aspotential for increased electri-cal consumption for industrialusage, an enrollment burdenimposed on Batavia schoolsfor the students that the town-houses would necessitate, andthat Batavians are not opposedto the industrial park,” KeepBatavia Neighborhoods mem-ber Joyce Keane wrote in a
statement. “KBN has solid ev-idence that now verifies all ofthese factors are not even fac-tors anymore.”
Plan commissioners inApril voted, 4-3, to recommendamending the city’s compre-hensive plan and zoning mapto allow for an industrialpark on land along Kirk Roadoriginally proposed for townhouses. The 56-acre property,known as Prairie Commons,is on the east side of Kirk Roadat Wind Energy Pass. Cityofficials in 2005 annexed theproperty. The developmentoriginally proposed for theproperty included residentialzoning on the eastern 36 acres,with 242 town houses pro-posed. The western 20 acreswas to be zoned general com-mercial.
Skokie-based The MissnerGroup now proposes to buildtwo large industrial buildingson the entire 56-acre property.

Take the Confusion Out of Retirement Planning
adno=0282942
“Idiopathic intracranial hypertension” (IIH) is a
condition characterized by raised pressure in the
skull that exerts pressure on the brain, producing
symptoms of headache and vision loss. The
cause of this increased pressure is unknown, but
it has been established that it primarily affects
overweight and obese women of childbearing age.
The goal of treatment is to prevent permanent
vision loss with medication. Recently, there has
been some good news on this front in that an
inexpensive drug currently used to treat glaucoma
may help preserve and actually restore vision for
women with idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Combined with a weight-loss plan featuring calorie
reduction, lowered salt intake, and exercise,
acetazolamide (Diamox) was found to improve the
vision of IIH sufferers.
P.S. The number of Americans suffering from
idiopathic intracranial hypertension is rising due to
the nation’s obesity epidemic.

Public hearingset for Sept. 16
Batavia School D-101proposes $74M budget
By ERIC [email protected]
B A T A V I A – B a t a v i aSchool District 101 is propos-ing an operating budget of$74.6 million for next year, anincrease of $1.8 million fromlast year.
The Batavia School Boardon Tuesday voted to put theproposed budget on publicdisplay. A public hearing onthe budget will be at 5 p.m.Sept. 16 at the Rosalie JonesAdministration Center, 335W. Wilson St., Batavia.
Originally, the publichearing was set for Sept. 23,at the same meeting board
members are set to vote onthe budget. But board mem-bers Jon Gaspar and MelanieImpastato thought that wouldnot provide enough time forthe board to react to publiccomments.
“Is that going to give usenough time for us to absorbwhat the public has to say?”Impastato asked.
The public also is invitedto attend and comment on thebudget at several other meet-ings, including the board’s fi-nance committee meeting atnoon Aug. 26 and the regularboard meeting at 7 p.m. thatday, as well as the board’s fi-nance committee meeting atnoon Sept. 23 and the regularboard meeting at 7 p.m. thatday.
Assistant Superintendentfor Finance Kris Monn notedthe budget could change. Forexample, he said the district
is still in contract negotia-tions with the district’s sup-port staff and teachers.
“The salaries and benefitsare very much in flux,” hesaid.
As proposed, the budgetshows $76 million in reve-nues, an increase of $3.2 mil-lion from last year. Majorrevenue changes include anincrease of $2.3 million inproperty taxes, that Monnsaid is largely from the expi-ration of Aurora’s tax incre-ment financing district No. 2,which includes the ChicagoPremium Outlets mall in Au-rora and significant industri-al properties in the Interstate88 corridor.
The district also is expect-ed to receive an increase of$300,000 in general state aidthis year because of a switchin the foundation formula forone year, Monn said.

Ribbon cut at Ginger Root Hair SalonCross countrycourse on trackfor Settler’s Hill
By ASHLEY [email protected]
GENEVA – The crosscountry course planned aspart of the redevelopment ofSettler’s Hill landfill is onestep closer to a 2015 ground-breaking.
On Wednesday, KaneCounty Board member MikeDonahue, R-Geneva, told theDevelopment Committee thata design has been approvedby Waste Management, theKane County Forest PreserveDistrict and USA Track andField.
“It’s not as simple as youmight think,” Donahue said,explaining various designswere considered before allparties were satisfied. “Weran the gamut and finallycame up with this.”
Additionally, he said, thePhase I engineering reportshows the cross countrycourse is “technically feasi-ble.”
Next steps include PhaseII engineering and a fulleconomic impact study. Al-though the committee hadconcerns about proceedingwith both steps simultaneous-ly, they ultimately directed
staff to do so.Conducting Phase II en-
gineering and the study con-secutively likely would delaygroundbreaking to next sum-mer when the hope is to moveearth by spring, Donahuesaid.
“Now’s the time to spendthe money on the economicimpact study,” he said.
A similar study was donefor the site’s overall masterplan, but that mainly filteredthe proposed uses for theproperty, Donahue said. Hesaid this study will focus onthe cross country course andwill determine whether it willbe financially self-sustaining.
As work on the crosscountry course continues,board member Melisa Taylor,R-Sugar Grove, said meetingthe track and field standardsmust be a priority.
“That, to me, is going to bethe dollar driving the train,”she said.
Ken Anderson, director ofthe county’s division of envi-ronmental and water resourc-es, said the current design re-flects such standards as sloperequirements.
“That’s all part of thisPhase I design,” he said.
Kane County Board OKs new court case management system contractBy ASHLEY SLOBODA
GENEVA – The Kane Coun-ty Board this week could notlet one multimillion-dollarcontract pass without notice.
“This is too big of a thingto let slide by in consent agen-da,” member Drew Frasz,R-Elburn, said of the contractwith Tyler Technologies for anew court case managementsystem.
Officials at the various of-
fices associated with the courtsystem – including the coun-ty’s chief judge, state’s attor-ney, public defender and cir-cuit court clerk – have pushedfor the project for years to re-place the court’s current sys-tems, which they said are out-dated and dysfunctional. Thecontract was approved Tues-day by a unanimous vote.
Based in Plano, Texas, Ty-ler Technologies is a publiclytraded company whose courtsoftware is used throughout
the country.Board member Phil Lewis,
R-St. Charles, described the$6 million contract with thecompany as one of the “mostsignificant investments” hehas been a part of.
County staff have said ne-gotiations with Tyler Tech-nologies took about twomonths. The negotiated priceis $6.025 million and includesdata conversion, customiza-tion requests and free mainte-nance for one year.
The $6.025 million is onlyfor the software license andmaintenance, staff have said.The agreement with TylerTechnologies also includesproject-related travel expens-es and a 10 percent projectcontingency for a total priceof $6,866,582.
“To me, this is a minorcost,” said board member RonFord, D-Aurora, explainingits benefits won’t be fully ap-preciated until it is operation-al.
On behalf of the 16th Ju-dicial Circuit, Chief JudgeJudith Brawka thanked theboard for its willingness toaddress this serious issue.
Board attorney PatrickKinnally said the new systemwill provide access to justicein a very positive way.
“This is a huge deal,” hesaid.
Officials involved in theproject have said the new sys-tem will take about 18 monthsto implement.

Like most teenagegirls, I’ve spent part ofmy recent days doing thetime-honored summercrafting project. This year,I’ve been attempting mybiggest project yet: a quilt.
Sure, I’ve helped/watched my mom cre-ate some quilts in thepast, but I’ve never triedanything as complex asthis by myself. I chose theSt. Brigid cross pattern,which I found on Pinterestand involves cutting outand pairing many rectan-gles to make squares, withfour squares making onecross.
My quilt has 48 crossesin eclectic colors. I startedmy quilting journey inlate May, just after grad-uation. I’ve finished thequilt top recently (with afew seams done by Mom),and just bought the borderfabric. I’m still figuringout what I’m going to dowith the back, but I’vebeen envisioning a giantcross or two to mirror thefront. My goal was to fin-ish it by the time I left forschool, but it looks like I’llhave something to finishup when I come back homefor visits.
My creative side has al-ways had me doing craftsfor as long as I can re-member. During my earlyyears, I loved making littledollhouses out of old boxesand shelves. Popsiclesticks have always been afavorite medium of mineas well. More recently, I’veattempted knitting, whichis very hard when no onecan teach you how to doit left-handed; crocheting,quite a bit easier, even ifI only know how to makeone type of infinity scarf;and duct tape flowers,which explains the dozensof half-used rolls in mybasement. Now, I can seemyself in the near futurebundled up under the
blanket that I made myself(honestly, it was just threeseams I got help with). Iknow I’m in good companywith my crafty friends.
One of my good friendshas been reliving herchildhood by iron-beadingher way through our lastsummer before college.I’ve spent hours withher assembling coasters,figurines and even pictureframes bead by bead. Talkabout true dedication.Another impressivelycreative friend has madeherself dresses for dancesand FCCLA competitionsfor years. She is known tomake friendship braceletsin her spare time, and ev-erything she makes is sim-ply gorgeous. Some of myother friends aren’t reallythe Jo-Ann crowd, which Icannot understand. I thinkit’s so much more reward-ing to have somethingthat you’ve made yourselfinstead of any old thingfrom the store.
When I get to college, Idon’t know what I’m goingto do about crafting! Sure,the first few weeks I’ll bemaking my dorm feel likea place I could live, but Idoubt I’ll have room – ortime – for a craft table. Iguess I could try knittingagain or learn to crochetsomething other than ascarf. I guess I better Goo-gle if there’s a craft storeby campus!

LIFE AT EAST
Sales tax holiday shouldn’t be celebratedTHE WASHINGTON POST
The left-leaning Citizensfor Tax Justice called the idea“silly.” The right-leaning TaxFoundation deemed it “poorpolicy.” So why do 16 statescontinue to offer sales tax hol-idays during the August back-to-school shopping season?
The most likely answer isthat these policy gimmicksare popular among consumersand a certain set of retailers,especially big chain stores.But they aren’t in the publicinterest. The states that stillstage sales tax holidays shoulddo what Washington did a fewyears ago: Get rid of them.
Maryland’s sales taxholiday, going on this week,eliminates state sales tax onclothing and shoes pricedunder $100. Virginia’s alsoexempts school supplies. Thetheory is that these tax breaks
will encourage economicactivity, or at least save peoplemoney.
In fact, though the researchon the subject is sparse, sever-al analyses indicate that salestax holidays fail to producenotable economic benefits forthe states that enact them.Mostly, people appear to timepurchases they would havemade anyway so that theyfall within the holiday. Forexample, New York, a pioneerof the back-to-school sales taxholiday in 1997, found thatsales of exempted goods roseduring the holiday – but thatsales fell in the weeks beforeand after. The state no longeroffers a sales tax holiday.
There’s no compelling eco-nomic rationale for time-shift-ing consumer purchases, butthere are many reasons it’s notworth the forgone tax revenue.Studies suggest that some
stores merely raise their pricesa bit during tax holidays, si-phoning off the state’s generos-ity for themselves. Wealthierpeople, meanwhile, are muchmore likely than poorer peopleto have the spare cash need-ed to take full advantage ofholidays, possibly skewing thebenefits to the rich.
That wealthy consumersbenefit just as much – andlikely more – than low-in-come consumers is itself anindictment of the policy. It isa lousy way of helping needypeople buy various necessities.If the goal is to help strappedconsumers purchase suppliesduring back-to-school season,or whenever it would be mosthelpful to them, then the statewould be better off handinglow-income residents sales taxvouchers that they could useany time, the Tax Foundationargues.

STILL IN DEMAND
By ERIC [email protected]
Wilson Travel & Cruise President Jan-et Foster knows how easy it is for peopleto book airline tickets online these daysthrough the proliferation of such web-sites as expedia.com and orbitz.com.
So her agency has had to change itsapproach in order to survive.
“The business has changed,” Fos-ter said. “You have to move with yourindustry as the buying patterns change.Booking airline tickets is no longer amajor part of our business.”
Not all travel agencies have beenable to make the adjustment. Accordingto recent statistics from the Bureauof Labor Statistics, there were 73,000travel agents in 2012, down from 95,360 adecade earlier.
Foster has seen plenty of changes inthe travel industry since she purchasedWilson Travel & Cruise in St. Charles in1986. The travel agency was started bythe Wilsons in 1962, Foster said.
One of the first changes happenedas the result of the rise of the Internetin the mid-1990s, when airlines stoppedpaying commissions to travel agents andstarted selling tickets themselves, Fostersaid.
“The Internet has opened up ticketbuying,” she said.
These days, the majority of WilsonTravel’s business is putting togethervacation packages.
“Cruises comprise 25 percent of ourbusiness, with the rest of it being land-based vacations,” Foster said.
Oui Travel also has had to adjust tothe changes in the travel industry sinceopening on Randall Road in Batavia in1990.
“It’s very true that we don’t issueas many airline tickets as we used to,”said Oui Travel manager Cindy Brown.“However, I think that in recent years,especially this past year, I think that
people are actually returning back toagencies for that kind of stuff.”
Her father, David Owen, started thebusiness and continues to work there.
Brown thinks that more people arereturning to travel agents because theydon’t have the time or knowledge to plana trip themselves.
“They don’t want to deal with it,” shesaid. “It’s confusing, because there’s somuch out there. There’s so much infor-mation out there, and they don’t want tosift through it.”
Her customers also like the conve-nience of going to a travel agent who cancheck and double-check every detail ofthe trip, Brown said.
“People just want one-stop shopping,”she said. “ I had booked a cruise forsomeone recently, and they just wantedto make sure the flights were going tocoordinate with the cruise times, andthat they wouldn’t get there and miss the
boat, things like that. I think there is acomfort in using somebody, a profession-al who knows what they’re doing anddoes it everyday.”
Booking plane tickets only comprisesabout 5 percent of the agency’s business,she said. Most of Oui Travel’s businessthese days is booking cruises, toursand vacation packages, both inside andoutside of the United States.
“I just helped a gentleman put togeth-er a little trip,” Brown said. “He’s goingto Oklahoma to see Lionel Richie. Buthe needed air and car travel and a hotel,and he wanted it all coordinated and Ijust did it. So it’s that kind of stuff.”
Foster noted that the employees atWilson Travel have more than 20 yearsof professional experience, so they arewell-versed in putting together a vaca-tion package. Before putting togethera package, Foster and her employeesfirst try to determine the needs of thecustomer.
“We listen to their needs, and find outwhat they are after,” Foster said. “Wedo the research and pricing, and come tothem with a proposal.”
Value, rather than the best price, iswhat is important to her clients.
“Our clients aren’t necessarilylooking for the best price,” Foster said.“They are looking for the best value.They want a good product at a fairprice.”
And although the Internet haspresented its share of challenges to thetravel industry, it also has proven to ablessing to travel agents.
“It used to be, you would have to goget a brochure,” Brown said. “You wouldhave to go get destination information.You have all that information at yourfingertips now. Most of the major toursuppliers will have online bookingengines that are for travel agents only.If I wanted to book a Royal Caribbeancruise, there is a whole booking enginefor just travel agents. You have to havetravel agent credentials to get into that.”
Foster is confident that Wilson Travelwill be serving customers well into thefuture.
“There is room for this kind of travelagency, and I believe there always willbe,” she said.

GENEVA – When I first no-ticed Nobel House’s striking,bright-blue awning distinc-tively standing out along busyState Street in downtownGeneva, I was immediatelyintrigued.
Because it’s named afterSwedish-born Alfred Nobel,founder of the Nobel Prize,I imagined the restaurant’sinterior would be filled withtattered books lining shelves,rustic mahogany furniture,Oriental rugs and wallsadorned with framed photosof Nobel Prize laureates likeAlbert Einstein, Nelson Man-dela or Martin Luther King,Jr. But my envisioned “Nobeltheme” ends as soon as youwalk through the door.
Instead, you’ll find a youth-ful, contemporary, tavern-likeeatery that has made its culi-nary prowess the star of theshow. Still exuding plenty ofrustic charm with hearty, ex-posed wooden beams runningalong the ceiling and urban-esque lighting features, NobelHouse is a strong contenderamong Geneva’s drinking anddining scene.
Having visited two timesprior to sample Nobel House’smighty craft-beer list – fea-turing 30 brews on tap andanywhere from 60 to 90 brewsby the bottle – I was lookingforward to trying the recipescoming out of its kitchen.
But first – beer. NobelHouse is a great place to ex-plore the world of craft brew.The staff is friendly, quiteknowledgeable and will giveyou free samples of whateverthey have on tap if you’rehaving a difficult time makinga decision. If you don’t knowwhat you like, they can helpyou with that, too. No beersnobs here; they are happy tohelp and teach.
Now, the food. The restau-rant is equipped with its ownsmoker, so – to be expected– meat is a formidable option,and they have at least twobarbecue sauces – one that ismore vinegar-based and theother is on the sweeter end
of the spectrum. Both were
delicious.
My dining companions and
I visited Nobel House around
lunch time on a Monday, and
it was buzzing, not packed –
which is ideal – but definitely
full of activity.
Worth taking a gander at,
in addition to the menu, is the
restaurant’s “Market Chalk-
board” located at the end of
the bar, which displays a list
of oysters, cheese and char-
cuterie, flatbreads and soups
of the day.
My dining companions and
I ordered a round of waters,
which were served out of a
glass bottle and without ice,
and started with the Mexican
Ceviche ($10), citrus-marinat-
ed shrimp with cocktail sauce,
fresh pico and Panko-fried
avocado chunks served with
lime creme fraiche and tor-
tilla chips. The bits of fried
avocado were a nice touch,
adding a bit of crunch and
taming the acidity.
The showstopper of the
meal was the Crab Cake Club
($14), which was recommend-
ed by our waitress. The dish
comes stacked with two meaty
crab cakes and layered with
slices of bacon, avocado, let-
tuce, tomato and house aioli,
creating the perfect blend of
flavors and textures.
Entrées are served with
house fries, belly beans, cole-
slaw, mac and cheese, chips or
a side salad. My dining com-panion opted for the mac andcheese side, which consistedof sharp-cheddar-doused cav-atappi noodles.
I ordered the Nobel HouseBurger, which came with ahalf-pound of 100-percent,black-Angus ground beefand a choice of cheese on abrioche bun. I added caramel-ized onions and mushroomswhich came at an up-charge of$1 each. I ordered my burgermedium and it came well-do-ne, but other than that it wasa good choice.
My other dining com-panion ordered the NobelHouse Smoked Sandwich,which allows diners to choosebetween brisket, pulled pork,turkey pastrami and Ream’sandouille sausage. The briskettasted tender and the barbe-cue sauces took its flavoringto another level.
There’s just somethingabout combining burgers andbarbecue with great beer, andin Geneva’s blooming craft-beer scene, Nobel House hasmanaged to bring both to thetable, and with gumption. Ifthe Nobel Prize is given forachievement, I think NobelHouse is a place that is worthyof its name.

Switch-hitting catcher acquired in recent trade with BravesBy KEVIN DRULEY
GENEVA – Victor Carati-ni might have sulked had hebeen traded from the AtlantaBraves organization to theCubs system when he firststarted playing baseball inPuerto Rico.
His mood still might havedarkened had a deal beenstruck when Caratini took upswitch-hitting.
As it stands, becoming aCubs prospect when he did –last month in a deal that sentEmilio Bonifacio and JamesRussell to Atlanta – suits the20-year-old converted catcherjust fine.
“One of the things that Ihave seen coming into the sys-tem and to this team is thatthey’re winning right now,”Caratini said through a trans-lator. “With a team that is win-ning, having a great season,it is always good to come andbe with a team that is winningand competing well.”
T h e C o u g a r s e n t e r e dWednesday with the MidwestLeague’s best record (75-45)and a silent if not deservedswagger. Only 10 players re-main from the Opening Dayroster, but the mounting trans-actions have paralleled theclub’s climbing win total.
Several would-be team-mates knew of Caratini’s repu-tation before he arrived in theclubhouse Aug. 1 with a winagainst Quad Cities well inprogress. The Braves, perenni-al playoff contenders, draftedhim in the second round (65thoverall) in June 2013 out ofMiami Dade College, and Base-ball America and BaseballProspectus touted Caratini ontheir updated midseason pros-pect lists.
Coming to Kane Countyfrom Rome (Georgia) of the
South Atlantic League, theMidwest League’s Class-Acousin, figured to be a smoothtransfer, especially with Cara-tini hitting .279 in 87 games be-fore the trade. Caratini insteadapproached it with his usualinquisitiveness.
What’s the lineup? Whatpitches does the opposingstarter throw? What can he doto help his own starting pitch-er through the game?
“And that’s great whenyou’ve got young guys like thatthat are keeping their head inthe game with responsibility.That’s taking responsibilityfor the role, what they do, andthat’s the way that this gamehas to be played,” Cougarspitching coach David Rosariosaid.
“You just don’t walk intothe field expecting it to happen
your way. You’ve got to pre-pare for it, and that hopefullywill lead you to good positionson the field. And I think he’sdoing that. I think he’s experi-enced for a kid and he’s reallypositive, willing to learn, goodleader, so I feel that he’s goingon the right track.”
C a r a t i n i w a s b a t t i n g.222 with six RBIs in sevengames with the Cougars en-tering Wednesday. A naturalleft-handed hitter, he car-ried a .280 average againstleft-handers and a .272 markagainst right-handers betweenRome and Kane County.
He began switch-hitting at15, and has since found he hitsfor better average from the leftside but with more power fromthe right. He does not differhis pregame routine from ei-ther side and takes the same
amount of swings during bat-ting practice.
“I feel OK,” Caratini said.“I think that I have done goodenough the first 1 1/2 years [inthe minors] that I have done agood job.”
Caratini grew up admir-ing countryman Roberto Alo-mar, a Hall of Famer who alsoswitch hit, and also recallswatching longtime big leaguerighty Javier Vazquez pitch inPuerto Rico.
Neither one of those play-ers were catchers, which couldhave fooled Cougars managerMark Johnson, a big leaguebackstop for parts of eightseasons. As with all convert-ed catchers – namely the Cou-gars’ Ben Carhart – Johnsonhad expectations coming in.

Conference changes ahead
By JAY [email protected]
Regardless of the school thatthey follow, high school sportsenthusiasts will see changeson the ever-shifting conferencelandscape beginning this fall.
Changes abound through-out the area, most drasticallyaffecting local private schools.Marmion, St. Francis and Au-rora Christian move from theSuburban Christian Confer-ence to the Chicago Catholicleague in football and soccerwhile Aurora Central Catholicand Wheaton Academy werepart of the former SCC bloc torelocate to the Metro SuburbanConference.
Other Marmion and St.Francis sports teams – alongwith Rosary – will compete inwhat remains of the SCC thisyear before Marmion and St.Francis join the Chicago Cath-olic League in all sports begin-ning in 2015-16, while Rosarylinks up with the Girls CatholicAthletic Conference.
The changes will break upsome notable, local conferencerivalries – Marmion/AuroraCentral Catholic, ACC/Rosa-ry and Wheaton Academy/St.Francis being the most promi-nent – but also will create somenew ones, sooner rather thanlater, in ACC athletic directorSean Bieterman’s opinion.
“I don’t think it usuallytakes very long to be honestwith you,” Bieterman said.“When you have teams that arecompeting evenly with eachother, and we’re looking at a lotof teams that on paper look verysimilar, I think that’s when youstart to see rivalries born.”
In football, ACC and Whea-ton Academy will be part ofthe six-team West Divisionof the Metro Suburban. TheMetro Suburban has 12 foot-ball-playing members and 14schools overall, creating two,seven-team divisions in othersports that mostly will featurethe same teams in each divi-sion, with a few tweaks basedon competitive balance in cer-tain sports.
ACC, Wheaton Academy
and the other schools that leftthe SCC for the Metro Subur-ban had grown wary of the gapbetween themselves and thelarger schools in the SCC, espe-cially in football.
“I think it’s a nice setup,” Bi-eterman said. “I think it givesus a great chance to build ourprograms. I envision our ath-letic [programs] being able togrow much stronger as a resultof this new conference.”
Bieterman said he’d liketo keep Marmion on ACC’sscheduled in the future but thatmight require patience, espe-cially in marquee sports suchas football and basketball, giv-en the scheduling constraintsof the schools’ new conferenceset-ups. Wheaton Academy AD
Dave Underwood said WheatonAcademy and St. Francis willcontinue to compete in manysports.
From a football standpoint,the Chicago Catholic League isconsidered cutthroat competi-tion, and the arrival of Monti-ni, Marmion, St. Francis andAurora Christian from the SCCshould only enhance the depth.
Marmion and St. Franciswill be part of the Chicago Cath-olic Green’s Division – alongwith Montini, Fenwick and DeLa Salle – while Aurora Chris-tian will compete in the WhiteDivision.

probably won’t pay the sched-uling changes much mind – inmost cases.
“The kids don’t know Plain-field Central from Ottawa,”Thorpe said, referencing Mar-mion’s opening nonconferenceopponents. “They do know St.Francis.”
Elsewhere, the UpstateEight Conference moves from14 to 16 schools, albeit only forthis school year. West Chica-go shifts from the UEC Valleyto the UEC River in its secondyear in the conference whilenewcomers West Aurora andGlenbard East each slot intothe Valley. Each of the Tri-Cit-ies schools remain in the UECRiver.
The conference is exploring
plans to account for the im-pending losses of WaubonsieValley, Neuqua Valley and Me-tea Valley to the DuPage ValleyConference in 2015-16.
“I think the new additions tothe conference are a very pos-itive thing,” Geneva AD JimKafer said. “The excitement isa little bit tempered because atthe end of year we’ll lose threeschools, so we have to find atleast one more in order to moveon, but I think West Aurora isan excellent addition and Glen-bard East, too, I think is a goodfit, and West Chicago has al-ready been in for a year. I thinkthat’s all been good, and thenI’m confident that we’ll findsome good schools down theroad.”
There have been rumblingsa drastic conference shakeupaffecting the UEC and otherconferences could be on the
horizon but Kafer isn’t con-vinced that will occur in thenear future.
“If I had to guess right now,I’d lean more toward us addingone to three schools to get upto 16 as opposed to a quote su-per conference, but you knowwhat, who knows,” Kafer said.“If a situation like that present-ed itself and you could come upwith a workable arrangement
of more than 16 schools, that’dbe fine, too.”
While the UEC is bumpingup by two schools this year,the Northern Illinois Big 12 isdown to 10 schools with Dixonand Streator leaving the NI Big12 West for other conferences.Rochelle is shifting from the NIBig 12 East to the West to bal-anced the conference with two,five-team divisions.
The conference has strug-gled to replenish its ranks, andthis year’s five-team division-al format presents schedulingchallenges. Football teams hadto line up three nonconferencegames.
“I think if we were able tofind a couple schools to come inand fill those spots vacated byDixon and Streator, that wouldbe great,” Kaneland AD PeterGoff said. “At the last meeting Iwas at, there was really no talkabout anybody trying to comein.”
If no new schools comeaboard, reconfiguring to one,10-team conference – at least forfootball – might be considered.
“In football it would be alot easier if we just [changed]to one conference becausethen we wouldn’t have to messaround with finding non-con-ference games,” Goff said.

Continued from page 19
Geneva AD: The new additions are ‘a very positive thing’“The excitement is a little bit tempered because at
the end of year we’ll lose three schools, so we have
to find at least one more in order to move on, but I
think West Aurora is an excellent addition and Glen-
bard East, too, I think is a good fit, and West Chicago
has already been in for a year.”

The job offer thrilled KerriMcCastland but it came witha consequence that “rips yourheart in half,” she said.
McCastland, a teacher anddepartment chairwoman atPlainfield North, was offered adean’s position at DeKalb, butfound out after receiving thejob offer late last month thatshe would be unable to contin-ue coaching girls volleyball atKaneland in her new role.
Cynthia Violett will replaceMcCastland as the Knights’coach, Kaneland athletic direc-tor Peter Goff confirmed. Thelast-minute coaching changecreated quite the backdrop forthe start of preseason tryoutsfor the Knights on Wednesday.
“[McCastland] was disap-pointed she had to do it but
like I told her, you have to dowhat’s best for your family,”Goff said.
McCastland, a Geneva res-ident, said she worked inten-sively during the offseason
leading up tow h a t w o u l dh a v e b e e nh e r s e c o n dyear with theKnights.
“I spent theentire offseasonreconstructingthe schedule,
picking new tournaments,uniforms, warmups, buildinga program and just really mak-ing it my own, and I was soready to launch,” McCastlandsaid. “I couldn’t even wait forcamp and all of that to go down… it all happened so quickly.”
McCastland’s hiring atDeKalb was approved at an
Aug. 5 school board meetingand she said she submitted herresignation the next day, buthad laid the groundwork withplayers beforehand.
Despite the abrupt tim-ing, Violett figures to bring asteadying influence to the pro-gram. She was McCastland’svarsity assistant and the pro-gram’s head coach from 1997to 2001.
“That’s the thing about itis Cynthia Violett has been amainstay for our volleyballprogram,” Goff said.
Violett is listed on Kane-land’s website as a teachingand learning coach. A formercounselor at Kaneland, sheplayed college volleyball andbasketball at Upper Iowa Uni-versity.
The Knights are scheduledto open their season Aug. 27 ata tournament hosted by Whea-
ton North.McCastland came to Kane-
land last year with extensivevolleyball coaching expe-rience, including previousstints at Oak Forest, Andrew,Plainfield South and PlainfieldNorth. The Knights went 14-16in McCastland’s lone season,falling to Sycamore in an IHSAClass 3A regional final.
McCastland said she’s con-fident Violett will thrive in hernew role but lamented the tim-ing of the transition, notingGoff’s recent arrival as Kane-land’s AD.
“I feel terrible because I feellike I stressed his life out a lit-tle but hopefully he’ll forgiveme for that, but I think he’s go-ing to be great for them there,”McCastland said. “I think he’ssuper invested and I think he’smade some good choices al-ready.”

When he first noticed Car-atini’s fluid movement behindthe plate, Johnson, like Cubsexecutives, knew the organiza-tion was onto something.
“You’ve got to be able todo it physically, and then youlook at the mental side. Wheth-er they can be able to follow agame plan, be able to handlea pitching staff, be able to runa game,” Johnson said. “Andthen other than that, it’s justtweaking mechanics withreceiving and throwing andblocking and all that. But thefirst thing is seeing if he can ac-tually get back there and do it.And he’s proven that he can. Helooks really good back there.”
Caratini played third basein college and for RookieLeague Danville, his first des-tination after signing with theBraves. Last offseason, the or-ganization elected to move himbehind the plate in a bid to keepthe system well-stocked withbudding catchers.
Braves catcher Evan Gattisis 27, while prospect ChristianBethancourt, 22, is batting .277at Triple-A Gwinnett.
“There were quite a fewgood catching prospects overthere in Atlanta, so basicallyI came here and got to under-stand that they need catchinghere,” Caratini said. “So that’ssomething that might be goodfor me as far as how quick Ican develop in the system andall that. But I am not trying tothink too far away, just tryingto take care of now, and thenhopefully that leads to tomor-row.”
Although Caratini wastraded for major leaguers, thatprinciple also guards againstscoreboard watching. BeforeWednesday, the Braves hadlost 8 of 10 and were closer tothird place than first place inthe NL East.
While, the Cubs’ WorldSeries drought is well-docu-mented, but Caratini offers anoptimistic system one more po-tential star.
“I’m getting used to it andeverything is good,” Caratinisaid. “I’m having fun.”

BULLS
Rose and TeamUSA
head to United CenterBy JOE COWLEY
It was more than just an en-dorsement.
A shaking of the head in al-most disbelief usually is.
Asked in Las Vegas twoweeks ago about the playof Derrick Rose, Team USAcoach Mike Krzyzewski wassearching for adjectives.
He really couldn’t findenough.
But now this weekend,Bulls fans will get their firstlook at the hype, as Rose andUSA Basketball resume train-ing for the FIBA World Cup, aswell as playing an exhibitiongame with Brazil at the UnitedCenter on Saturday night.
It will continue to be alleyes on Rose, who played just10 regular-season games sincethe 2012 playoffs, undergoingtwo separate season-endingknee surgeries.
As for Rose, expect him tocontinue to keep it simple,even as good as he looked inthe first week of the camp.
“We just have to keeptalking to each other, keepgiving each other confidence,”Rose said recently. “The thingis gelling quick. Learningplayers’ tendencies.
“I usually say whatever thegame needs, that’s what I’mgoing to put into the game,man. I learned that by actuallyplaying through my mistakeswith the first injury. Just see-ing that I was forcing every-thing. It wasn’t just the wayI was playing, I wasn’t enjoy-ing the game like I was beforethe injury. Now it feels like Iappreciate it a little bit more,just enjoy being on the courtand playing the game I loveplaying.”
Not that circumstances ha-ven’t changed for Rose. TeamUSA suffered two tough loss-es, first with the Paul Georgeinjury and then with NBAMVP Kevin Durant droppingoff the roster because of whathe claimed was exhaustion.
So while Rose may becounted on to do more thanfirst anticipated, those thatknow his game aren’t worried
about him trying to do too
much.“I don’t see him forcing
anything,” Bulls general man-ager Gar Forman said. “I seehim letting the game cometo him and then when he hasopportunities to make plays,he makes them. He’s playingwith what appears to me greatconfidence.
“When I say he’s playingwith confidence, he is playingwith a real nice pace to hisgame. Obviously, he is so ath-letic that he’s going to makeexplosive plays. But I don’t seehim rushing in anything thathe’s doing.”
Bulls open against NewYork: The NBA announced the2014-15 regular-season sched-ule Wednesday, with the Bullsopening up against CarmeloAnthony on Oct. 29 in NewYork.
There will be little time tobreath, coming back for thehome opener on Halloweennight, and hosting LeBronJames and the new-look Cavs.
It will be one of four meet-ings with James and theirdivision rivals, going toCleveland Jan. 19, hostingCleveland on Feb. 12, and thenback to Cleveland on April 5.
The circus trip will againbe the longest road tilt for theBulls, beginning on Nov. 17 inLos Angeles against the Clip-pers and ending Nov. 30, inBrooklyn.
The Bulls once will againhave a Christmas game, host-ing former power forwardCarlos Boozer and the Los An-geles Lakers that night.
As far as the end of the sea-son, the Bulls will finish athome against Philadelphia,at Brooklyn and then homeagainst Atlanta on April 15.
“We just have to keep
talking to each other,
keep giving each other
confidence. The thing is
gelling quick. Learning
players’ tendencies.”

24 DAILY DISHJazzmight be easy tomock,but it’s music that still matters
By DAVEMOONEYSpecial to TheWashington Post
NEW ORLEANS — WhenI was 16, I enthusiasticallyconfessed to my guitar teach-er that I wanted to become aprofessional jazz musician.After the lesson, he told mymother: “Don’t let him do it.He’ll be doomed to a life offrustration.”
I didn’t listen.In the 20 years since that
afternoon, I have definitelyexperienced that frustration.But it doesn’t define my life,and I hardly feel “doomed”to it. The jazz sub-culture isalive and, if not exactly well,as determined as ever to stayalive. We know that what wedo is valid, even important,in the way that any art formis important. It is a creativeact rather than a destructiveone, and that makes it a validhuman endeavor.
Yes, our work is under-appreciated and poorlyremunerated at times. That’sOK; we knew what we weregetting into. Nobody lied tous about fame and fortunewhen we were young. We’rechasing a peak experience:When we improvise andeverything comes together,when it falls perfectly intoplace, there’s nothing like it.It’s otherworldly. We’re hap-py to share this with you, butif you’re not interested, that’sOK too! We’ll keep playing.
And sometimes thingsturn out beautifully. As Ifinished a tour of Japan lastweek, I felt great. The gigshad been wonderful, theaudiences enthusiastic, andeverywhere I went in Japan– bars, shopping malls, coffeeshops – I heard jazz. (Every-where except Starbucks,anyway.)
The scolds of the worldmean well, and they are verysensible in their bitterness.
So imagine my surprise(as I waited for boarding to
begin at Narita airport) tofind that The New Yorker,one of America’s most emi-nent cultural publications,had printed a clumsy satireof jazz. In it, a comedian pre-tending to be Sonny Rollinslaments, “in his own words,”his choice to become a jazzmusician. The piece was notfunny; it was deeply negative,nihilistic even. It ended with“Sonny” declaring: “I hatemusic. I wasted my life.”
It’s not that jazz musi-cians lack a sense of humor.As you’d expect, we have apitch-perfect gallows sensi-bility, honed over a century’sworth of badly paid gigsand lack of respect from themonoculture. Jazz musiciansare the funniest people Iknow. But why was The NewYorker so hostile to the jazzcommunity? It upset manyof us.
The real Sonny Rollins’sonline response brought meback from the brink. Everyaspiring artist, musician andcreatively minded personshould watch it and gleansome wisdom and encourage-
ment from the master: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYt-8B2RkqrM.
I made it back to thestates, rejuvenated bySonny’s positivity. Then, be-tween sets on a Friday nightgig, I saw an article in TheWashington Post called “Allthat jazz isn’t all that great”in which the author lists fivereasons why he thinks jazzis “insubstantial and hard tograsp.”
He begins this way: “Jazzis boring. Jazz is overrated.Jazz is washed up.” Whatwas going on? The author,Justin Moyer, doesn’t likejazz, that much is clear. Per-haps he prefers Big Freediato Wes Montgomery; that’sa perfectly valid choice. Buthad August been declared na-tional Kick-a-Jazz-Musician-in-the-Teeth Month while Iwas away?
Here’s the thing: Jazz hascertainly not stopped evolv-ing, as Moyer argues. WhenI graduated from the NewOrleans Center for CreativeArts (a performing arts highschool) in 1998, I sounded like
Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery,Steve Masakowski and PatMartino, with a bit of “Ques-tion and Answer”-era PatMetheny thrown in. Sincethen, one of the greatestfrustrations (and sometimesjoys) of my career has beenconstantly returning to theproverbial “woodshed” todeal with all the innovationin the music since then.
On my instrument alone,Kurt Rosenwinkel, PeterBernstein and Ben Monder(among many others) havetaken music to new places.The rhythmic and metricworld of jazz has moved lightyears beyond 4/4 time, aidedby “Black Codes”-era WyntonMarsalis, the Brad Mehldautrio and others too numerousto mention; the music of Bri-an Blade and Jon Cowherd inthe Brian Blade Fellowshiphas incorporated harmonyfrom the most sophisticatedpop music as well as the spir-it of the sanctified church.Keeping up with all theinnovation in jazz can feellike an exercise in futility.It’s exponential!
If there is a sin that we’vecommitted, it’s a sin againstthe market. By choosing tospend our lives playing mu-sic that isn’t easily brandedor marketed, we confuse themainstream. Jazz, at its best,is artistic entertainment –not as heady as 21st centuryclassical music, but moreesoteric and sophisticatedthan your average pop tune.Pop is a commodity; jazz isartisanal. People aroundthe world understand andappreciate its place on thespectrum of musical art andentertainment, but Ameri-cans have trouble with us.

Dear Doctor K: I’m a workingmother. I also care for my ill andaging father. Are there profession-als or services that can help mecare for him?
Dear Reader:There can be plen-ty of rewards in caring for an ail-ing parent. I’ve had many patientsand friends who have told me thatthey got closer to their parents inthe process of caring for them.
However, that care takes a toll,especially when you’re also jug-gling other responsibilities. Hereare some services and profession-als you might want to look into.
• Adult day services offer avariety of programs. They mayinclude transportation, nursingcare, meals, personal care (suchas help with bathing or toilet use),social opportunities or rehabili-tation.
• Certified nurse’s aides canhelp with activities of daily living,such as bathing, dressing and per-sonal care. They cannot adminis-ter medications.
• Home health aides may ad-minister medications. They alsoperform personal services such as
bathing and dressing.• Nurses offer skilled nursing
care, such as inserting IV lines,cleaning wounds and changingbandages. They can also adminis-ter medications.
• Hired companions and home-makers. You can hire someonewho is not a trained medicalprofessional to help with meals,shopping and laundry. This per-son can provide companionship.
• Meal programs. Your fathermay be able to get hot, nutri-tious meals brought to the homethrough programs like the Mealson Wheels (www.mowaa.org).
• Case managers coordinateservices and help manage redtape. They can also communicateinformation between patient,caregiver, family and physicians.
• Physical, occupational orspeech therapists may do in-hometherapy sessions.
• Respite care workers providecaregivers with time off fromtheir caregiving duties.
• Transportation services.Some communities, religious andcommunity organizations and se-nior centers offer free or low-costtransportation to medical appoint-ments for seniors or people whoare disabled.
There are more support ser-vices for ailing older people todayin the U.S. than when I went tomedical school. It surprises mehow many of my patients don’tknow of this, and how manydoctors don’t refer their patientsto these services.
The U.S. Department of Healthand Human Services’ website,www.healthfinder.gov, may beable to refer you to services inyour community. Ask your fa-ther’s doctor about other resourc-es in your community.

Dr.Wallace:When my
wife and I divorced two
years ago, she received
custody of our then-10-
year-old daughter and
our then-14-year-old son.
Our daughter is now 12,
and our son is now 16
years old.
Six weeks before
school was out, Eric and
his friends were caught
lighting a fire in the
boys’ restroom. He was
expelled for the remain-
der of the school year.
His mother was at
wit’s end and called
and asked me if our
son could live with my
wife and me. She felt
this was a good idea to
separate him from his
delinquent friends. I
love my son, and my
wife and I agreed to take
him in and enroll him in
our local school for the
remainder of the school
year and then for sum-
mer school so he could
adjust to the new school
and make new friends.
He seemed relieved
that he had a new
chance and started
out doing really well.
Then lately he has been
hanging out with some
unsavory-looking guys
and his grades are not
as good as they should
be although he has good
intelligence.
My wife and I have
discussed this, and she
thinks that he might be
doing drugs. When I con-
fronted him with this
possibility, he said that
he is drug-free. He could
be telling the truth, and
we have searched his
bedroom several times
and we haven’t found
any drug evidence but
we are still worried.
Since we are not
up on what to look for
exactly to determine if a
teen is doing drugs, we
thought you could tell
us what to look for. We
would appreciate your
help, and I’m sure there
are other parents who
would also be interested
in this information. –Father, New Orleans
Dear Father:Keeping
tabs to determine if
drugs are a part of a
child’s life is extremely
important. A group
called Parents Who
Care has provided a list
of questions that could
help determine if a teen
is involved in drugs,
including alcohol. With
the group’s permission,
I am sharing its quiz
with you and other
parents. The more “yes”
answers, the greater the
chance that drugs are
involved.
Do You As A Parent?
1. Find it difficult to
talk with your child
2. Make excuses for
bad behavior
At Home Does The
Teen?
1. Avoid the family
2. Disregard or break
rules
3. Receive mysterious
phone calls
4. Listen to loud rock
music alone
5. Act rebellious
6. Have friends you
don’t like
7. Have friends you
don’t know
8. Argue over nothing
9. Use bad language
10. Sleep a lot
At School Does The
Teen?
1. Arrive late
2. Skip classes
3. Cheat or vandalize
4. Have declining
grades
5. Blame teachers for
problems
6. Disrespect staff

Dear Abby: I’m not much of adrinker. I have nothing againstdrinking or those who do. I justdo not like the taste of alco-hol. Worse, I have a very lowtolerance for it. After only half aglass of wine, I become sleepy. Itmakes me feel physically awful.
My husband takes offenseto the fact that I don’t want todrink. When we’re out withfriends, he’ll have three or fourbeers and pressure me to thepoint of embarrassment in frontof them until I finally give inand order a glass of wine. Ofcourse, I then spend the restof the evening feeling terrible.When we get home, he’ll want tobe intimate, but I just want to goto sleep, which aggravates himfurther.
I have tried for several yearsto discuss this with him, but hecan’t explain why he does this.What can I do? – Just Water,Please
Dear Just Water: Your hus-band is a drinker. He may beself-conscious about the amounthe imbibes and feels less so ifhe has a drinking buddy (that’s
you), willing or not. To say theleast, his behavior is inconsid-erate – and I mean ALL of it.
When someone is involvedwith a problem drinker, andfrom your description of hisbehavior your husband is one,the place to start looking foranswers is Al-Anon. To find ameeting close to you, go onlineto al-anon.org. Please don’twait.
Dear Abby: My best friend,“Cecily,” has just come out tome as being a lesbian. We areboth 15. I have tried my bestto make her feel accepted andcomfortable. But whenever shewants something from me andI refuse, she says I’m “treatingher badly because she’s gay.”
I let it go the first couple oftimes, but now she does this ev-ery time she wants something.When I finally confronted herabout it, she went to her mother
and said I was bullying herbecause of her being gay. Hermother yelled at me and told meto “get my act together or getout of her life.” Her mother islike a second mother to me.
Other than this, Cecily hasbeen a great friend. Abby, Ihave tried everything. What doI do? – Way Out Of Hand In NewYork
Dear Way Out Of Hand: Cecilymay react this way becauseshe’s newly out and hypersen-sitive to being discriminatedagainst for being gay. (For toomany gay teens, this is a sadreality.)
Consider asking your motherto talk to Cecily’s mother andexplain that you’re not ho-mophobic but feel her daughteris being manipulative. If thewoman hears it from anoth-er adult, she may talk to herdaughter about it. However,if that doesn’t work, you mayhave to decide if it’s worth it tocontinue the relationship.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Brigham Young said,“Silence may be golden, butcan you think of a better wayto entertain someone than tolisten to him?”
Can you think of a betterway to find the best openinglead than to listen to the bid-ding?
Look at the West hand andthe auction in today’s diagram.What should West lead againstfour spades?
When the opponents arecruising toward a game or slam,pay attention. In particular,work out how many points eachplayer has. And sometimes youwill also know the distributionof at least one opponent’s hand –as in this deal.
North announced five hearts,four clubs and three spades;his hand had 3-5-1-4 (or perhaps3-5-0-5 or even 3-6-0-4) distribu-tion. He also promised extrastrength, usually 15 or 16 high-card points. With a minimum,he would have raised one spadeto two spades.
South showed game-invita-tional values with three-cardheart support. Then, when hepreferred four spades to fourhearts, he indicated five spades.
Given that dummy is veryshort in diamonds, leadingthat suit has little appeal. (Yes,it works if East wins the firsttrick and shifts to a low club.) Atrump is too passive. The oppo-nents have bid quite strongly,so it is probably right to leadactively. That means choosingthe club jack.
East takes dummy’s queenwith his ace and returns thesuit. Then the defenders cantake two clubs, one diamondand one heart for down one.
