By ERIC [email protected]

ELBURN – Kiley Ander-son, a 14-year-old Elburn girl,doesn’t let any challenge get inher way, despite the fact thatshe has cerebral palsy and ep-ilepsy.

[email protected].“We are hoping to sell 200 to

300 tickets and raise between$30,000 and $50,000,” Lunaceksaid.

The fact the fundraiser issports themed is a direct reflec-tion of Anderson’s interests.

“She is a big sports fan,” Lu-nacek said.

Anderson attends ClareWoods Academy in Wheaton,which provides a specializededucational environment. Ser-vices also include occupation-al therapy, speech/languageand counseling. She also goesthrough the program Stridesin Motion, an outpatient phys-ical therapy practice based atBull Run Equestrian Centernear Elburn.

Batavia votes against liftingban on video gambling

By ERIC [email protected]

BATAVIA – Aldermen at

Tuesday’s Joint Committeeof the Whole meeting reject-ed lifting the city’s ban onvideo gambling.

Only four of the alder-

men at the meeting votedto lift the ban. Six of the al-dermen rejected lifting theban.

The committee’s recom-

mendation now goes on tothe full City Council. Bat-avia Mayor Jeff Schielkesaid he would veto liftingthe ban.

Several residents andc h u r c h l e a d e r s s p o k eagainst lifting the ban.

“It will impact the moral

complexion of our commu-nity,” said Keith Hallam,senior pastor at Sanctu-ary Church in Batavia, inaddressing aldermen at“Nothing that is politicallyright is morally wrong.”

Hallam was one of sever-

al people who spoke againstlifting the ban. Aldermenhad previously voted, 8-2, todirect staff to draft a reso-lution to allow video gam-bling within the city.

Officials from the Bata-

via VFW had asked Bataviaaldermen to reconsider thecity’s ban on video gam-bling.

“I would like to point out

that morality is not legislat-ed,” said Dale Richard said,of the Batavia VFW. “Weare here to vote on a legisla-tive matter.”

Seventh Ward Alderman

Drew McFadden said he

was against lifting the ban.

“We took an oath to do

what is in the best interestof the city,” McFadden said.

But 1st Ward Alderman

Garran Sparks, chairmanof the City Council’s Gov-ernment Services Commit-tee, was in favor of lifting

the ban.

“If we are going to ban

video gambling, I don’t un-

derstand why were are not

banning the state lottery in

Batavia.”

Batavia , a long with

Geneva, St. Charles and

Campton Hills, doesn’t

a l low video gambling.

Some communities that

originally banned video

gambling now allow it, in-

cluding North Aurora, Sug-

ar Grove and Elburn.Batavia Police Chief

Gary Schira has said thereis no evidence that vid-

eo gambling causes an in-

crease in crime.

Bars, truck stops, social

clubs and veterans organi-

zations in those communi-

ties and counties with video

gaming can have up to five

gaming machines each. The

Illinois Supreme Court in

2011 upheld the constitu-

tionality of the Illinois Vid-

eo Gaming Act.

Man involved inHampshire Township crash diesBy ANDREA AZZO

[email protected] and

LAWERENCE [email protected]

SYCAMORE – The 22-year-old Sycamore man who re-cently died after a motorcyclecrash northwest of Hampshirewas remembered Tuesday as anatural racer. David Larson,owner of S&V Solutions in Syc-amore, said 22-year-old JohnBeach was a skilled workerwho welded and worked onprojects for him. Beach used toride the black and red motor-cycle he built himself on S&VSolutions’ dirt track.

“The kid was a natural,”Larson said. “You just couldn’ttouch him on the dirt track.He’d beat guys who have beenriding for 20 years.”

Beach was pronounceddead by the Cook County Med-ical Examiner’s Officer about2:50 a.m. Sunday, two days af-ter a motorcycle crash, accord-ing to a Kane County Sheriff’sOffice news release. The crashis under investigation.

Kane County sheriff’sdeputies and Hampshire po-

lice responded to Allen Roadeast of Walker Road, whichis northwest of Hampshire,about 1:50 a.m. Friday for areport of two motorcycles in-volved in a crash. Beach andBenjamin Fletcher, 26, of El-gin, were flown from PresenceSt. Joseph Hospital in Elgin toLutheran General Hospital inPark Ridge after the crash. Au-thorities believe the men weretraveling together; neitherman was wearing a helmet.

Fletcher was charged withtwo counts of driving underthe influence of alcohol and op-erating an uninsured vehicle.

Larson was shocked at thenews of Beach’s death consid-

ering his skill in riding motor-cycles. Beach’s 22nd birthdaywas Thursday.

“He was trying to figureout what to do in life,” Larsonsaid. “He had a career offer forprofessional welding and wasabout to take a test for an op-erator’s union. He had a lot ofthings on his plate and all sortsof opportunities.”

Larson said it will be diffi-cult to replace Beach, a multi-talented carpenter and welderwho was “full of life.”

“A lot of us old guys arewringing our hands over thisloss,” said Larson, who is 59years old. “We’re sorely goingto miss him.”

KANELAND – Dismount-ing their bikes in front of Hill’sCountry Store in Kaneville, agroup of women, ages 30 to 55,gather to discuss the 15-mile,no-one-left-behind ride theyjust completed. Soon they’relaughing and catching up,immersed in the feeling of ca-maraderie during the July 31summer night.

They’re members of GirlsGone Tri, a free group forwomen to exercise or trainwith triathlon sports while be-ing supported by group mem-bers and coaches. Their ridewas part of the group’s weeklyThursday night bike rides inKaneville.

Christine Schirtzinger, thegroup’s lead coach, said shewants members of the groupto abstain from cliques or theintimidating nature that cancome with cycling, runningand swimming.

“Maybe some women onlyhave three hours a week [forexercise], and it’s all good,”Schirtzinger said. “We canall make different goals to gethealthy and fit, and we can dothat as a team and we can em-power each other.”

Many group members saidthey see a lack of non-profes-sional cycling programs ca-tered to women.

“Most of the [female bik-ing] groups out there are ofelite athletes, and someonewho’s just starting out, or iscurious about it, is going tofeel very intimidated,” saidLauren Cardelli, a Bataviaresident and a group member.

A professional cyclist for25 years, Schirtzinger saidshe retired to have children.Schirtzinger then founded thegroup 2½ years ago after shestarted leading triathlon clin-ics at the indoor performancecenter at The Bike Rack in Ge-neva.

“There are so many people

in triathlons who are so will-ing to give back to the commu-nity, and they want to reachout, so I wanted to build thatbridge between people whowant to know and people whoare so willing to give that in-formation.”

Schirtzinger received acoaching certificate and washired to run and coach the in-door performance center. Thegroup’s members and coaches

practice there mainly in coldweather.

“We work on a lot ofskills during the winter,”Schirtzinger said about bik-

ing. “Most of the people newto our group haven’t had alot of experience on the road.I love that we can practiceall those skills inside, where

[participants] are very safe.”Schirtzinger said the group

came to fruition with the helpof sponsors The Bike Rack,Geneva Running Outfitters,Tri’d And True, Blue Seven-ty and Pearl Izumi. Groupmembers get donations anddiscounts from the sponsorsso they can have triathlonequipment.

“I literally could not do thiswithout them, they’ve beensuch incredible resources forme,” Schirtzinger said abouther sponsors. “I think it wouldhave been a lot more cost-pro-hibitive without them.”

Christine Schirtzinger of Girls Gone Tri gives a safety talk before heading out for a 15-mile bike ride in Kaneville.

she mainly worked on sportson her own.

“I never had this group be-fore,” Kramer said. “It’s real-ly motivating, and it helps megrow as a person.”

That motivation is proveneffective by a slew of accom-plishments obtained by thegroup’s members, who oftenuse Girls Gone Tri to train forother events. Kramer said shecompleted her first Half Iron-man in July, and that she’sdoing another in two weeks.

“I learned how to ride andhow to ride more efficiently,”Cardelli said. “I went from anaverage of 11 mph to 17 mph.It’s gradual growth, but it’sthe participation of the groupthat gets you there.”

The group organized itsversion of a triathlon, “TheAnnual UN-race,” which washeld June 14 at the BataviaQuarry. The untimed raceconsisted of a 400-yard swim,10-mile bike and 3-mile run.

“We had one woman whohas two active kids, whoworks full time and was work-ing on her MBA,” Schirtzing-er said. “She came to The UN-race and just did the swim soshe could get home to go grad-uate with her MBA.”

Group members, manyof whom have jobs, kids orboth, utilize the exercise andfriendly support as a form ofself-care.

“Biking is my time,”Schirtzinger said. “It’s whatI do and is who I am, separatefrom my kids.”

Group member and St.Charles resident Laura Park-er said that the Thursdaynight rides are a source ofstress relief.

“There are some rideswhere, if you ask me my nameI probably wouldn’t be ableto tell you because I’m verymuch in the moment,” Parkersaid.

‘Shop Elburn First’ campaign seeks supportBy AL LAGATTOLLA

[email protected]

ELBURN – A portion ofElburn’s share of video gam-bling funds might be used tohelp efforts to build the vil-lage’s economic developmentcommittee.

At Monday’s meeting, thecommittee asked the ElburnVillage Board, in a letter, for$5,000 to invest in the organi-zation’s efforts with its “ShopElburn First” campaign,promising a “sustained effortto drive home to our com-

munity that if they want ourtown to have the things theyall say they want, they need touse them.”

When the committee hadbeen established, no fundswere budgeted toward its ef-forts.

The letter stated the cam-paign would include a logo,banners, window decals,newspaper ads, shopping bagsand more, and it would “not bea ‘one-and-done’ campaign.”

Village AdministratorErin Willrett said board mem-bers Monday night asked the

committee to outline its needs.She said the village is set toreceive about $11,000 from itsshare of video gambling mon-ey, which is split between thevillage, the machines’ opera-tors and the establishmentsthat have the machines.

That money is slated togo to the village’s recreationfund, but Willrett said, if thebudget were amended, a partof that money would go intothe general operating fund.There would be a budget linefor the committee.

Village President Dave An-

derson said people on the eco-nomic development commit-tee “have put a lot of time andeffort and sweat and tears intothe task. … They have objec-tives they would like to bringto fruition, and it’s going tocost some money.”

Anderson said the movewould not help only existingbusinesses, but would helpwelcome new businesses.

In the letter, the commit-tee listed short- and long-termgoals.

Short-term goals includedforming a group of commu-

nity volunteers to help thevillage and businesses accom-plish things they otherwisemight not be able to do, suchas cleaning, landscaping,painting and basic repairs.Also, they aimed to attractbusinesses, such as a florist,specialty food stores and oth-er retail shops, to empty spac-es.

Long-term goals includ-ed pushing for well-marked,lighted and maintained park-ing lots near the downtownshopping district, as well asdowntown beautification.

Heritage Prairie Farmgets organic certification

By BRENDA [email protected]

ELBURN – Heritage Prai-rie Farm in Elburn is now Cer-tified USDA Organic, officialssaid. Heritage Prairie Farmopened in 2006, following asustainable, small-scale farmmodel that sells organic pro-duce at its farm store, at 2N308Brundige Road, to its co-opmembers and at other stores,according to its website.

The USDA National Or-ganic Standards Board de-fines organic agriculture as“an ecological productionmanagement system that pro-motes and enhances biodiver-sity, biological cycles and soilbiological activity.

It is based on minimaluse of off-farm inputs and onmanagement practices that re-store, maintain and enhanceecological harmony.”

For farm manager DougSalter, organic is the onlything that makes sense.

“It’s just good stewardshipof the land,” Salter said. “Ifyou take good care of the land,it will take care of you. Or-ganic is the right thing to doinstead of putting a bunch ofchemicals on it. ... I know it’sbetter for everybody. It’s bet-ter for the environment. It’s

just a good idea.”Salter said the farm will

use organic composted cowmanure when fertilizer isused – but it generally is notneeded because their fouracres are so healthy.

“We have spring, summerand fall crops in each fieldthat we rotate, so we’re notgrowing the same thing twicein the same spot,” Salter said.“We have weeds. We pull theweeds by hand and put themon the compost pile, and even-tually in a few years, we’ll putit back in the field.”

Pesticides are not used, hesaid.

“We have a lot of bugs –good bugs and bad bugs,”Salter said. “A good bug is aladybug that eats aphids. Abad bug is a tomato worm. Wepick them off by hand.”

Newpastor joins SugarGroveUnitedMethodist ChurchBy CHARLES [email protected]

SUGAR GROVE – Theleader of Sugar Grove UnitedMethodist Church is also oneof its newest faces.

The Rev. CheonEui Oh onJuly 1 became pastor of thechurch, at 176 Main St. inSugar Grove. Oh said he pre-viously served OrangevilleUnited Methodist Churchand Afolkey-Bethel Unit-ed Methodist Church at thesame time in the RockfordDistrict since 2009.

Oh has been getting toknow the church’s membersinformally after services andmeeting with them individ-ually. In September, he willattend a series of informalmeet-and-greet events withchurch members, as well.

O h l o o k s f o r w a r d t omeeting more of the churchmembers at the meet-and-greets and listening to whatthey have to say. He also hasembraced moving to SugarGrove from Orangeville, Illi-nois, with his wife, Sim, andthree children.

Born and raised in a re-ligious family, Oh’s fatheris the pastor of a MethodistChurch at Uljin in South Ko-rea and his brother also is aMethodist pastor in Seoul,that country’s capital.

Oh said he was called byGod to ordained ministry in2000, adding that “130 yearsago missionaries came toSouth Korea and planted theseed, and I believe I’m one ofthem.”

After graduating fromMethodist Theological Sem-

inary in Seoul in 2004, Ohcame to the U.S. in 2005 tostudy at Garrett-Evangeli-cal Theological Seminary inEvanston. He never expectedto stay in the country, but inthe end he became a provi-sional pastor in the North-ern Illinois Conference andbecame an ordained elder in2011.

Oh said his parents enjoythat he has made a life forhimself in the U.S. – his fa-ther tells him to pray hardand take care of the peoplehere.

The family still findstime to see each other, withOh traveling to South Ko-rea once in a while and hisparents came to the states in2011.

In addition to talkingwith church members about

the church’s previously pur-chased 40 acres of land alongHarter Road, Oh plans to

further develop the church’sSunday School and youthgroup programs.

OAKCRESTDeKalb Area Retirement Center

www.oakcrestdekalb.org

“Just do it...”

I know what you’re thinking. Because, I thought it myself. I figured I could just put off this whole retirement

thing for another year or maybe two. Then it hit me. All the things I will need to do to prepare for the big

decision and move – like sorting, packing and selling a home; I’ll still have to do. Only when that time comes,

I’ll be another year or two older. Let’s face it, we’re not getting any younger. I looked at other places around Elburn but none of them felt

like home. Then I came out to Oak Crest. I toured the grounds, visited with the staff, compared prices and amenities and just knew. Oak

Crest was more than just a place to retire, it would be my home. The day I moved in I said, “I wouldn’t have wanted to wait even one more

day.” I am so glad that I didn’t put off until tomorrow, what I could do today.

Sugar Grove man receivesaward for service to Boy Scouts

By ASHLEY [email protected]

SUGAR GROVE – Sean Wil-liams doesn’t volunteer withthe Boy Scouts for recognitionhe may receive.

But someone – the SugarGrove man doesn’t know who– nominated him for an awardthat recognizes distinguishedservice to youth by a regis-tered Scouter.

Williams went from SilverBeaver nominee to recipientthis summer. Ten other indi-viduals also received the hon-or from the Three Fires Coun-cil.

The 49-year-old said he is“very appreciative” of theaward – for which he receiveda knot for his uniform – but hedoes what he does because heenjoys it.

“I’ve never been about rec-ognition,” Williams said.

Williams, who was in-volved in Scouts as a kid butdidn’t make it to Eagle, hasvolunteered with Cub Scoutsand Boy Scouts, but he be-lieves his Silver Beaver nomi-nation stemmed from his workregarding special needs inScouting, he said.

He and his now 21-year-oldson, Richard, helped launchthe Aurora-based VenturingCrew 88, which is for thosewith special needs.

Upon receiving the SilverBeaver award during a ban-quet in June, Williams credit-ed his son for the honor. Theyouth was diagnosed with au-tism soon before starting highschool.

“I was telling him he’sthe reason I got that awardbecause he was my inspira-tion for my work in the spe-cial-needs program,” Williamssaid.

Although his son aged outof Venturing Crew 88 when heturned 21 Sunday, his fathersaid their involvement withthe group isn’t over.

The elder Williams is itsadviser as well as the specialneeds chair for the Foxfire Dis-trict, he said, and the young-

er Williams will be assistantcrew leader.

“We have some fun stuffplanned,” Williams said.

The group, which thissummer had an outing to U.S.Cellular Field in Chicago foran autism awareness event,is raising money for a tripto Seattle next summer, Wil-liams said. He said the journey– made by train and by plane– will give the Scouts an op-portunity to use their publictransportation skills, socialskills, dining skills and plan-ning skills.

Williams encourages par-ents of children with specialneeds to check out the BoyScouts’ special-needs program,or what he calls the best-keptsecret in Scouting.

When seeing the kids’ ac-complishments, he said, “thereward you feel is indescrib-able.”

“I was telling him he’s the reason I got that awardbecause he was my inspiration for my work in the

special-needs program.”

When it comes to identi-ty theft, Kane County Un-dersheriff Pat Gengler saidthieves have 100,000 potentialtargets just in his agency’s ju-risdiction alone.

But, he said, “They onlyreally need to get one to besuccessful.”

While people are used tothe precautions against res-idential burglaries, such askeeping lights on outsideand telling neighbors whenthey’ll be on vacation, Gen-gler said the approach ismuch different with identitytheft, as thieves use numer-ous tricks to obtain personalinformation.

“That’s what these peopledo all day long,” he said.

According to the U.S. Jus-tice Department’s Bureau ofJustice Statistics, an estimat-ed 16.6 million people – about7 percent of those 16 and old-er in the United States – werevictims of at least one inci-dent of identity theft in 2012,resulting in a total financial

loss of $24.7 billion.Of the victims, about 15.3

million reported the misuseor attempted misuse of anexisting credit card or bankaccount, according to the bu-reau.

Additionally, it reported,about 1.1 million had their in-formation misused to open anew account, and more than800,000 people had their in-formation misused for otherfraudulent purposes.

Locally, reports of identitytheft are common.

Recent police reports in-cluded a Sugar Grove resi-dent whose credit card wasused to make four fraudulentcharges since May, totalingmore than $1,300, and El-burn residents reported theirchecking account was usedfor a $4,000 transaction inMinnesota.

In another case from El-burn, a resident told policeher Social Security numberwas used to open a utility ac-count in Texas that racked upa bill of $1,479.79.

Gengler said catchingidentity thieves can be “ex-

tremely difficult,” as there isa good chance they live out ofstate or in another country.

“It’s tough to even identifythese people,” he said.

But arrests do happen. Ofthe 22 identity theft investiga-tions in St. Charles last year,three arrests were made,while 12 were transferred tooutside agencies, accordingto the St. Charles Police De-partment’s annual report.

More recently, St. Charlesresident Peter A. Mazzara,36, last month turned him-self in on a warrant carryingcharges of identity theft, theftand forgery.

According to a St. Charlespolice report, he worked as anindependent insurance agentand is accused of compromis-ing a former coworker’s iden-tity to steal about $3,200 froman insurance company. He re-portedly had access to workfiles containing informationpertaining to insurance pol-icies and companies issuingthem.

In Batavia, police lastweek charged 55-year-old Ed-ward Arbet of Batavia with

felony aggravated identitytheft, among other offenses.Arbet reportedly tried to buyclothing with a stolen creditcard.

“In this case, we were ableto speak to our original vic-tim, who was a shop ownerwho knew who Eddie Arbetwas,” Batavia Detective Kev-in Bretz said.

He said police often won’tget a call from victims untilthey check their bank state-ments – behavior he encour-ages.

“Watch your statements,”Bretz said, noting offendersmight make small purchas-es before moving to biggeramounts. “Be safe. It’s yourmoney. You earned it.”

The Bureau of Justice Sta-tistics reported that in abouttwo-thirds of the identitytheft cases in 2012, the vic-tims didn’t know how theirinformation was obtained,and many victims discoveredthe theft when their financialinstitution alerted them tosuspicious activity.

People can take precau-tions toward protecting theirinformation, Bretz said. Hissuggestions include usingdebit cards as credit cards,

not losing sight of your creditcard, making online purchas-es on secure sites and shred-ding or incinerating sensi-tive documents when gettingrid of them.

“As soon as you see some-thing’s not right,” he said,“contact the fraud division ofyour credit card company.”

Bretz said his police de-partment might get three tofour reports of fraudulentactivity a week. The number,he said, depends on peoplereporting when they’ve beenscammed into giving theirpersonal information.

“A lot of people are em-barrassed and don’t reportit,” Bretz said. “Tell us. Letus know so we can try to helpyou out.”

WRITE TO US

By NOAH SMITHBloomberg News

Sometime around 2006, Iwas sitting in my apartmentin Japan listening to old mu-sic, and I heard a Bob Dylansong. It ends:

“I wish, I wish, I wish invain/That we could sit sim-ply in that room again/Tenthousand dollars at the dropof a hat/I’d give it all gladly ifour lives could be like that.”

As I listened, I started tomiss my own high schoolgang. I was feeling moredepressed, when suddenly Irealized what an idiot I was.I opened Firefox, fired upGoogle Talk, and found threeof my old friends online. Iimmediately messaged all ofthem, and quickly receivedthree rather irreverentresponses.

It was at that moment

that I almost broke intotears, because I realized thatsomething huge had changedfor the better in the humanexperience. All throughoutmy youth, I had seen myparents and my friends’parents drift away from theirfriends. The sheer difficultyof keeping in regular contactover extreme distances, evenwith telephones, meant thatif you moved to a new town,you could make new friendsbut it would be hard to keepthe old. Then came emailand chat and Facebook andInstagram and the rest. Andsuddenly, through a trick ofhuman ingenuity, you neverhave to lose touch with yourold friends again. We wokeup, and the world was better.

This is why I am annoyedwhen writers accuse SiliconValley (by which they meanthe entire tech industry) of

not solving big problems. Pre-sumably, these tech criticswant venture capitalists andentrepreneurs to take us intospace, solve the global energycrunch or invent new la-bor-saving devices. And pre-sumably they aren’t satisfiedthat SpaceX, Tesla, SolarCityand the Google Self-DrivingCar project, among others,are working on all thesethings as we speak.

What critics of SiliconValley’s vision fail to realize,though, is that the really bigproblems aren’t the hardones or the spectacular ones.The really big problems arethings that affect the qualityof human life.

Abraham Maslow, thepsychologist, theorized thatpeople’s needs come in a“hierarchy.” Once you takecare of the basics – food,shelter, security – you start

being mainly concerned withsocial needs, like love, com-panionship and respect. Thetheory predicts that in poorcountries, people will mainlybe concerned with gettingthings like bigger houses,cars and better food. But inrich countries, where mostpeople have these things,the focus will shift to humanrelationships and careersuccess.

The problems of this high-er rung of Maslow’s ladderare exactly the ones that techcompanies like Facebook andMatch.com have begun tocrack. Consider the impactof dating sites on the lives ofdivorced people. For a youngperson, dating sites – OKCu-pid or Tinder – are a mar-ginal improvement over theold singles scene of parties,bars and friends-of-friends.But for divorced middle-aged

people, who are often sociallyisolated and occupied withwork, meeting people is amuch more daunting task.For these people, datingsites are a godsend. If youdon’t believe me, just askyour friends from Korea orChina about their divorcedparents. In those countries,online dating is still heavilystigmatized and generallyfeared – and the outcome is alifetime of extreme lonelinessfor legions of older people.

The fact is, most of whatpeople in the developed worldwant in life has to do withother human beings, not withthe physical world around us.

State’s attorney seeksfunds for 2 new employees


ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP– Kane County State’s AttorneyJoe McMahon hopes next yearto increase his office’s staffinglevels by two, even as countyleaders are asking departmentsto help reduce a potential $2million deficit.

In his monthly meeting withreporters Tuesday, McMahonexplained the need for two newemployees – an assistant state’sattorney assigned to the civildivision and a bilingual inves-tigator for the Child AdvocacyCenter.

The added positions werepart of a nearly $9.2 million 2015budget the state’s attorney’soffice presented to a CountyBoard committee last month.

Since then, the CountyBoard has asked the state’s at-torney’s office and other coun-ty offices and departments toreview their initial budget re-quests in light of a potential $2million deficit.

McMahon said his office isin the process of doing that.

“We’re going to do our best,”he said, noting he hasn’t been

directed to make specific cuts.The proposed added po-

sitions would address an in-creased need for services,McMahon said. According tohis office’s presentation lastmonth, the Child AdvocacyCenter conducted 380 Span-ish-speaking interviews in 2012and 540 in 2013.

If approved, the bilingual in-vestigator would be the secondon staff, McMahon said.

The other new hire’s pri-mary responsibilities wouldbe tied to the Kane CountyTreatment Alternative Court, acourt-supervised mental healthtreatment program for eligiblecriminal defendants.

McMahon wouldn’t esti-mate the percentage of peoplein the criminal justice systemwith mental health issues, buthe said there is a high correla-tion between the two. Mentalhealth issues could be contrib-uting factors in their criminalbehavior, he said.

Alternative programs suchas the Treatment AlternativeCourt, rehabilitation court anddiversion programs contributeto reduced crime rates, McMa-hon said.

ONTHEROADAGAINDudzinski to play in Italy with Fortitudo Agrigento

By KEVIN [email protected]

As his summer travelitinerary expands withevery destination –

Boston to Elburn to New YorkCity to Cuba to Agrigento,Italy – Dave Dudzinski takes arare pause.

“All over the place, man,”he said.

Every mile builds towardthe Kaneland and Holy Crossproduct’s professional bas-ketball debut. He reports toFortitudo Agrigento, a teamin a second-tier Italian league,later this month, with prom-ises of an apartment, car,monthly pay and right-handside driving awaiting him.

That’s all Dudzinski needsfor now. He’s taking his pass-port because it’s required, notto rack up the stamps.

“A lot of people bring thatup to me, and I’m lookingforward to seeing the countryand Europe, but at the sametime, it’s not a vacation,really,” Dudzinski said. “It’smy job. I’m going to treat itlike that. I can’t treat it like avacation. You have to take itseriously and do what’s best.Put my career first. All thosesights, you can fall in withwhen you get the time.”

At 6-foot-9 and 235 pounds,Dudzinski remains his ownphysical marvel, one benton staying across the pondfor awhile before potentiallybuilding steam to give a possi-ble NBA career a shot.

Holy Cross coach MilanBrown says he “wouldn’t besurprised to turn on NBATV and see” Dudzinski “on asummer league team” in fiveto eight years. High praise forthe player Brown calls “prob-ably the hardest-working kidthat I’ve coached” over fourseasons with Holy Cross andseven at Mount St. Mary’s.

To that end, Dudzinskiarrived at the Boston Celtics’practice facility from nearbyHoly Cross for a pre-NBAdraft workout in late June.

He came armed with apsychological edge, if notevery scout’s attention, in a

workout that also includedConnecticut’s Shabazz Napier– the Most Outstanding Playerof the 2014 Final Four – andMichigan State standoutKeith Appling.

Dudzinski’s agent, NickMorteo of Boston-based ProPartner Sports Management,pulled some strings with theCeltics to help his client getsome exposure. Dudzinski felthe left with even more.

“Oh, absolutely,” Dudzins-ki said. “I had Shabazz Napier

in my workout. He was a first-round draft pick [of the MiamiHeat]. I didn’t have anythingto lose, in my mind, so I justwent out there and didn’t takeit as ‘I need to show themthis, I need to show themthat.’ I just went out there andplayed, and thought I playedpretty well.”

As a senior, Dudzinskiranked third in the PatriotLeague with a 15.1 points agame scoring average whileleading the conference in

rebounding at 7.4 a game.Predominantly a back-to-

the-basket player with theCrusaders, who won 55 gamesin his four seasons, Dudzinskishowed touch from distance,as well, shooting 35.1 percentfrom three-point range as asenior.

He devoted summer work-outs to increasing his shoot-ing and ballhandling skills,feeling confident about hisblend of strength and agili-ty in the post. Still keepingtabs on Dudzinski, Brownrecalls a player who enteredthe program already bearinga pleasant surprise: moreathleticism than the coachingstaff thought at first glance.

“Dave goes 100 percent inthe weight room, game, prac-tice, classroom,” Brown said.“He’s a rare breed, for sure.I tell his parents every time Isee him, they did a great jobraising him.”

Dudzinski again exploredhis options – basketball,fallback and otherwise – withparents David and Barb a fewweeks ago.

This time, Morteo didn’tjust offer a few hours of drillswith a professional team. Hehad a contract with one, albeitfor an operation based on thesouthern coast of Sicily, Italy.

Fear of the unknownhardly fazed Dudzinski. Untilthis week, when he flew fromNew York to Cuba as part of aproject with Full Court Peace,a nonprofit organization thatunites at-risk youth throughbasketball, Dudzinski neverhad ventured outside the con-tinental United States.

Bring on Fortitudo Agri-gento. That first word, by theway, is Latin, noted Dudzins-ki, an accounting major whostudied the language for twosemesters.

“It seems like a fantasticsituation. It’s a really goodleague, especially for a rookie,so I’m excited about that,”Dudzinski said. “Just takingany nervousness and just put-ting that in my workouts. I’mworking that much harder.”

Rehabbing Niemiechungry to compete


Batavia junior Kyle Nie-miec suffered a torn later-al meniscus in his left kneeduring a baseball showcaselast month.

He’s already eager to getback on the diamond next sea-son, but not before he vies forthe football team’s startingquarterback vacancy.

For Niemiec, the road to re-covery hinges on being as ac-tive as possible, a pursuit thatstarts on the gridiron whenthe defending Class 6A statec h a m p i o n sopen practiceMonday.

“That wasa setback, aninjury that Idid not want tohappen,” Nie-miec said. “It’sjust something I have to comeback from. It’s a competition,and I feed off competing.”

Bracing for a camp compe-tition with senior Evan Acos-ta, Niemiec enjoyed a few ear-ly fist pumps during a recentdoctor’s visit.

Told his recovery wasahead of schedule, Niemiecalso learned he’d be able toreturn to full activity Aug. 11.

Asked when football prac-tices started, Niemiec grinnedand told his doctor that sameday.

“It was kind of funny howthe doctor said it. That’s whatI just can’t wait for. Just get-ting back on the field, youknow,” Niemiec said.

While still hazy about theexact sequence that led tohis injury, Niemiec can pin-point it to diving to make aplay at shortstop for his CarolStream-based DuPage Train-ing Academy travel team.

His quad felt tender, soNiemiec did stretches andworked to stay in the game.Citing a history of playingthrough injuries both knownand unknown, he finished thegame and headed for home.

There was one problemwhen he arrived, though. Hecould hardly move to exit thecar.

Niemiec initially thoughthe injured his thigh, but aftera few days of rest yielded noprogress, he went to the doc-tor and learned of the diag-nosis. Especially thankful hewasn’t sidelined with an in-jury to any to the “big three”knee ligaments – ACL, MCL,PCL – he began actively reha-bilitating the knee after sur-gery.

As each day passes, Nie-miec finds something abouthis range of motion returns.With a few days left beforethe Bulldogs’ first practice,he is taking advantage of timeoff from team camp, but alsomaking sure not to be seden-tary, often getting together toreview routes with wide re-ceivers who did not take fami-ly vacations.

“It’s a good break,” Nie-miec said. “I mean, it’s a timewhere people can just gethealthy again.”

Batavia promoted Niemiecfrom the sophomore team forthe 2013 IHSA postseason. Heproved a quick study underrecent graduate Micah Coffey,who quarterbacked the Bull-dogs to the Class 6A state title.

“I learned so much fromthat guy,” Niemiec said. “Justthe stuff that he knows andthe stuff that he’s been teach-ing. … Every practice it was.‘What should I be looking foron this play? What’s going tobe happening here?’ ”

Nine months later, Nie-miec is confident he’s in po-sition to take the reins in full.

“Just preparing,” he said.“Because we’ve got a big weekcoming up and we want tocome out fired up.”

Kyle Niemiec

Out for an encore

Batavia graduated several offen-sive skill position players from its2013 IHSA Class 6A state champion-ship football team but brings backstrong experience on the line. Here’sa look at some of the Bulldogs’ offen-sive stats from last season:

BC’s Wiss picks Air Force above allSenior baseball recruit relieves pressure with collegiate selection


Four of the six simulat-ed flights Drew Wiss guidedduring a campus visit to AirForce last month landed safe-ly.

While that .667 mark trans-lates to a marvelous battingaverage, it’s not exactly thestuff of recruiting videos.

Good thing for Wiss he hastime to get acclimated. TheBurlington Central senioronly verbally committed tothe Falcons baseball programSunday.

“I don’t mind flying,” Wisssaid. “I just never thoughtabout going into the Air Forceto do it.”

Actually, Wiss may noteven enter an aircraft careerarc when the time comes to

solidify his post-graduationmilitary service path in a fewyears.

The Air Force offers versa-tile options, much like Wiss,

who wowed theFalcons bothwith his 3.94g r a d e - p o i n taverage andslick, 5-foot-11, 175-poundframe.

“He can lit-erally play all four infield po-sitions and all three outfieldpositions,” Central coach KyleNelson said. “Actually, whenhe came into our program, hewas a catcher and a pitcher. Hedoesn’t do any of those thingsfor us anymore, but I’m surehe could if you asked him.”

Wiss played shortstop forthe majority of 2014, batting

.381 as the leadoff man for theBig Northern Conference Eastco-champions. Seventeen ofhis 37 hits went for extra bases.

A few colleges expressed in-terest entering the season, butone school’s involvement roseto the top because of a May 10nonconference game againstGrant.

Air Force coach Mike Ka-zlausky’s father, a Grant as-sistant, was so impressed withWiss’ play that day at JudsonUniversity that he called hisson in Colorado Springs, Col-orado to offer a recommenda-tion.

Kazlausky watched Wissplay center field with hisDowners Grove Longshotstravel team a few weeks laterand was doubly encouragedwhen his academic acumenmatched up with Air Force’s

standards, too.“Both baseball and academ-

ics are super important to me,and I think Air Force is one ofthe few colleges where you cansucceed in both of them,” Wisssaid.

Committing early not onlyfrees any anxiety enteringWiss’ senior year, it also re-routes his training focus.

After clocking Wiss witha 6.7 60-yard dash, Kazlauskyinformed him that likely tar-geted Wiss for a corner infieldspot or second base. The Fal-cons typically want a center

fielder who runs a 6.5 60 orbelow.

“Basically that’s my planthis offseason, to get faster,”Wiss said. “Because I want toget that center field spot orthat shortstop spot, even.”

Nelson said he plans to keepWiss at shortstop next spring.

Until then, Wiss – also amember of Central’s Nation-al Honor Society and boysbasketball team – already istaking a chapter from the AirForce manual.

“Aim High” isn’t just an oldrecruiting slogan anymore.

Ryan Paradise’s surnameassures he brings at least asense of bliss to every situa-tion.

While he wasn’t disgruntledwith the prospect of a fifth sea-son as Marmion boys basket-ball coach, another opportuni-ty enticed Paradise more.

Paradise, 29, recently re-signed from his position asMarmion physical educationteacher and coach to work full-time with his family’s buddingbusiness, Naperville-basedBasketball Paradise. A move healready knew was coming wasaccelerated as the youth playerdevelopment project grew.

“Marmion was a great expe-rience,” Paradise said. “It wasmy first years coaching actu-al high school basketball andit may be the only high schoolbasketball that I coach. ... I’lljust remember the kids and theplayers. One thing about any-one who ever saw my teamsplay, I don’t know if you eversaw any kids play any harder.”

Paradise cultivated thatwork ethic under his father,Fran, and clung to it whileplaying at Naperville Centraland Northern Illinois. Now hegets the chance to work along-side his dad and brother, Pat-rick, 26.

Producing three .500-or-

above finishes en route to a 53-61 record at Marmion, Paradisejuggled coaching a 14U travelteam in the spring and summerfor the past two years. He’s setto assume year-round responsi-bilities for that team and otherswhile also leading fundamen-tals-driven training programs.

A seamless early operationcoupled with expanding par-ticipation convinced Paradisehe could move away from hisMarmion role in 2014-15 as thecalendar approached August.Earlier this year, Paradise Bas-ketball settled into a facility at31W300 Schoger Drive in Na-perville after nomadic begin-nings.

“I just absolutely love doingit,” Paradise said, “and the in-terest has been there.”

Marmion athletic directorJoe Chivari said a search for areplacement is ongoing.

Along with informing theMarmion administration ofhis decision, Paradise met withplayers in what he termed a dif-ficult setting.

“It was quiet, let’s put itthat way,” he said. “I tried togather as many guys as wecould with it being summerand people every which way.… None of the boys really saidtoo much. I think they werekind of stunned. I’ll be aroundand checking on them, but Idid most of the talking in thatmeeting.”

The parent Cubs an-nounced right-hander Jen-HoTseng as the minor leaguepitcher of the month for Julyon Tuesday, saluting the19-year-old who went 3-1 witha 1.47 ERA in four games andfive starts.

The stretch included 20strikeouts and four walks in30⅔ innings.

Later in the day, the Cou-gars improved to a MidwestLeague-best 71-43 by splitting

a doubleheader against Peo-ria. The Chiefs won the open-er, the resumption of Mon-day’s game postponed becauseof rain, 4-1.The Cougarsresponded towin the night-c a p b y t h esame score.

Game 1 con-sisted of nineinnings, whileGame 2 wasshortened to seven.

Taking over for Duane Un-derwood in the opener, Tsengextended his sterling recentstretch with 6⅓ innings ofone-run, two hit ball.

Trouble was, the Cougars

managed just four hits againstChiefs pitchers Kevin Hergetand Zach Loraine. ChesnyYoung drove in the team’s

lone run inMonday’s firstinning.

The offenseresponded int h e s e c o n dgame, makingthe most ofsix hits. AfterShawon Dun-ston Jr. and

Young opened the game withsingles, Dunston scored on athrowing error from pitcherChase Brookshire on a poten-tial force attempt.

Young stole home as part

of a double-steal with Carharttwo batters later.

Center fielder Jeffrey Baezlaunched his first home runas a Cougar in the seventh.

Righty Ben Wells, whopitched with the Chiefs whenthey were a Cubs affiliate in2012, stymied his former teamto earn the victory. Wells scat-tered one run, four hits andone walk in six innings.

Tyler Bremer, recentlytransferred from Advanced-ADaytona, pitched a perfectseventh for his 11th save.

The Cougars and Chiefswill conclude the series at 7p.m. today before the Cougarstravel to Cedar Rapids Thurs-day to begin a four-game set.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

Brescacin hopes to be big part of Huskies’ offenseBy STEVE NITZ

[email protected]

DeKALB – Juwan Bresca-cin always has been somebodywho takes chances.

Growing up in Mississauga,Ontario – a suburb of Toron-to – Brescacin decided to comestateside to attend Culver Mil-itary Academy in Indiana hisfinal two years of high school.

Basketball also used to bethe Northern Illinois junior re-ceiver’s No. 1 sport, but even-tually football took over. It ledhim here, where he’s lookingto be a big part of the Huskies’offense this season.

“I’ve been trying to justmake the most of my opportu-nities,” Brescacin said afterTuesday’s practice at HuskieStadium. “So far it’s paid offfor me.”

At one point, Brescacinsaw a future in basketball. Heplayed AAU ball in the Toron-to area, seeing the same courtas players such as AnthonyBennett, the No. 1 overall pickin the 2013 NBA Draft, PhoenixSuns guard Tyler Ennis andSacramento Kings guard NickStauskas, who went to highschool with Brescacin in Mis-sissauga.

Brescacin was recruited toCulver primarily to play bas-ketball. He had played football

since grade school, but hadstarted at offensive line. List-ed at 6-foot-4, 224 pounds, healways was one of the biggerplayers.

He eventually played quar-terback, and switched to re-ceiver as a junior at Culver. Hestarted getting collegiate inter-est his senior year, and knew

football was his future.“I saw the way the game

of football was evolving, andbig wide receivers were be-coming a big deal,” Brescacin

said. “I just took a chance andit worked out for me. I got a[Division I] scholarship to NIUand we’ve had success so far,so it’s great.”

At the end of last season, itclicked for Brescacin. In a Nov.20 win at Toledo, he had careerhighs with eight catches and121 yards, and proceeded tohave touchdown catches thefinal three games of the year.

It was just a matter of beingmore confident, and in turnthe coaches saw confidence inhim.

“Expectations for him haverisen as a player. Instead ofhoping to do things, he’s ex-pecting to do them,” NIU coachRod Carey said. “When you getconfidence and expectationsthat meet in the same place,you usually get a pretty goodplayer.”

With his relative inexpe-rience at receiver coming in,Brescacin was more of a rawtalent. He always had the size,but he’s done a better job ofgetting open, and going up andattacking the ball.

NIU receivers coach ThadWard said skills such as Bres-cacin’s route running havetaken a big step forward.

“Every year he gets betterwith that,” Ward said. “He’sa much better blocker thanwhen he first started off.”

22 DAILY DISHRecent, recommendedmusic for August

By PETER CHIANCAMore Content Now

The following is a lookat the latest from KingsleyFlood and Rockin’ Jason D.Williams, an eclectic coverscollection spotlighting BobDylan’s ’80s output, and a vi-nyl reissue of a Bonnie Raittclassic.

• Kingsley Flood, “Live at theArmory.”George Hall’s guitarwork provides even moreof a backbone here thanon Kingsley Flood’s stellarstudio albums: Unassuminglyraucous, it simultaneouslygrounds this live collection ofthe band’s best songs – record-ed in front of a small crowdat the Armory in Somerville,Massachusetts – and sendsit soaring at all the right mo-ments. His turn on “Devil’sArms Full,” all winking swag-ger and rockabilly raunch, isa particular standout.

But as usual with theseBoston-based folk-punk (or isit punk-folk?) rockers, “Liveat the Armory” lives and diesby frontman Naseem Khu-ri’s lyrics and his breathlessdelivery of them. On rockerslike “Strongman” and “SunGonna Lemme Shine,” hiscompelling, wild-eyed rasp isimpassioned, pointed and bestof all, unique; there’s just noone else out there who soundslike this guy.

Factor in killer horns andJenee Morgan’s beautifulharmonies and counter-points, and you have theperfect entry into KingsleyFlood’s world if you’ve yet toexperience it – or the perfectcelebration of it if you have.(Info at kingsleyflood.com)

• Rockin’ Jason D. Williams,“Hillbillies and Holy Rollers.”Wil-liams isn’t exactly the forceof nature here that he wason 2010’s “Killer Instincts,”but the (slightly) slowerplace actually suits the newalbum well, taking Williams’boogie-woogie piano licks andlaconic vocal drawl in cheekynew directions.

One of the album’s origi-nals, the opening title track,stomps and rolls as it lays outthe country push-and-pull of

juggling the “Good Book onSundays, Saturday nightsin bars.” Meanwhile, “Thisis Rock & Roll,” the mostobvious nod to Williams’muse Jerry Lee Lewis, allowshim to beat the keys with hisusual fervor while celebrat-ing early rock’s power andpleasures.

But it’s the covers thatreally make “Hillbillies” akeeper – Williams’ sly pianotake on Johnny Cash’s “Fol-som Prison Blues” standsamong that song’s mostenjoyable versions. Andhis snappy “Sweet GeorgiaBrown” actually breathesnew life into the old chest-nut, effectively swiping itback from the Harlem Globe-trotters. Short, punchy andirrepressible, “Hillbilliesand Holy Rollers” is a half-hour or so well spent. (Info atrockinjasondwilliams.com)

• Various artists, “Bob Dylanin the ’80s, Volume One.” Thereare pleasures to be found inBob Dylan’s much-maligned’80s output, and the contrib-utors to “Bob Dylan in the’80s” prove it on one of the

most consistent collections ofDylan covers to come along ina while.

The album only has oneflat-out disaster: ReggieWatts’ truncated, jumbledup version on “BrownsvilleGirl,” easily Dylan’s mas-terpiece of that decade. Butthe rest of the tracks areall worthwhile: The HoldSteady’s Craig Finn was madeto cover “Sweetheart LikeYou,” and Glen Hansard’sragged “Pressing On,” fromDylan’s “Saved,” captures thesimplicity and beauty of Bob’s“gospel” output.

Some of these songs werejust so well constructed byDylan that it would take aconcerted effort to do thempoorly – “Jokerman” and“Dark Eyes” come to mind,and the versions here, byBuilt to Spill and DawnLandes with Bonnie “Prince”Billy, are suitably stunning.

More impressive, though,are the “lesser” tracks thatthe cover artists make theirown: “When The Night ComesFalling From the Sky,” aSpringsteen knockoff from

“Empire Burlesque,” becomesa jangly triumph in Lucius’hands. And “Got My MindMade Up,” a bluesy triflefrom “Knocked Out Loaded,”translates much better inLanghorne Slim’s banjo-ladenAmericana version.

“Bob Dylan in the ’80s”shows that era to be a morethan worthy inspirationto Bobophiles present andfuture. Not to mention de-serving of space on your Bobmixtape (whatever that is).(Info at 80sdylan.com)

• Vinyl Spotlight: Bonnie Raitt,“Nick of Time.” Capitol Re-cords/UMe has issued a vinylre-release of Bonnie Raitt’s“Nick of Time” to commem-orate its 25th anniversary,which is as good a reason asany to revisit the album – andI’m happy to report it holdsup beautifully. Awash ingravelly blues and poignantballads, it’s smooth withoutbeing slick, and her slideguitar work is, frankly, mes-merizing.

Raitt’s two original com-positions are easily amongthe album’s best: The openingtitle track is one of the mostthoughtful meditations onaging ever set to music. And“The Road’s My MiddleName,” closes the album witha rollicking, worn-in vibe thatfeels well-earned.

In between those twotracks are an impressivearray of blues rock efforts,several of which today feellike standards. The buoyantriff Raitt puts on John Hiatt’s“Thing Called Love” onlyamplifies the song’s infectiousappeal, and on Bonnie Hayes’winking “Love Letter,” Raitt’scrisp drawl generates thesteam heat of as-yet-unrequit-ed love.

Twenty-five years later,the remastered vinyl editionis a wonderful way to reliveall these songs – rarely hasan artist been better suitedfor vinyl’s warm tone. If yousomehow missed it the firsttime around, there’s no (nickof) time like the present to dis-cover Raitt’s stunning come-back. (Info at bonnieraitt.com)

Dear Doctor K: I recently foundout that I’m pregnant. I’d like tocontinue eating fish, but I under-stand some fish contain mercury,which could be harmful to mybaby. What fish should I avoid?

Dear Reader:Fish are a greatsource of lean protein, and manytypes are rich in heart-healthyomega-3 fatty acids, which helpbrain and nerve development andprotect the heart. In fact, currentdietary guidelines recommendthat women who are pregnant eat12 ounces of seafood a week.

But as you noted, some speciesof fish do contain worrisomeamounts of methylmercury. Thistoxin is especially dangerous todeveloping brains. High-mercuryfish you should avoid during preg-nancy include swordfish, shark,king mackerel and tilefish.

A recent study may add twomore fish to that list. The studyhints that salmon and tuna mayalso boost mercury levels.

The new study looked at whattypes of seafood Americans eatand how often, and how that af-fects mercury levels in the blood.The vast majority of participantshad blood levels of mercury in

the safe zone. Not surprisingly,the more fish people ate, thehigher the levels of mercury intheir blood. Those who consumedswordfish, shark and otherhigh-mercury fish were the mostlikely to have higher blood levelsof mercury. But some study par-ticipants who reported that theyate only salmon or tuna also hadhigh mercury levels.

My Harvard Medical Schoolcolleague Dr. Emily Oken hasstudied women’s fish consump-tion during pregnancy. Sheexplains that it’s complicatedto tease out the harmful effectsof mercury. That’s because theprimary source of mercury inour diets is fish. And fish havenutrients that are beneficial tothe brain and the heart – the sameorgans that mercury may harm.

Low-mercury fish optionsinclude trout, herring, pollock,flounder and sole. (On my web-site, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put a

table listing additional low-mer-cury seafood choices.)

In this column I try to makethings simple, but the reality isthat things are rarely as simpleas we would like. Eating fish is agood example. Like all foods, fishcontain many different substanc-es. Many of them are healthy, butsome of them are unhealthy.

So, what do you do? As withso many things in life, the key ismoderation. Continue to enjoyfish, just not too much. Sinceyou’re pregnant, eat 12 ouncesof fish a week. And choose thefish that contain relatively lowlevels of mercury. Stay away fromhigh-mercury species.

Finally, remember that “mod-eration” also applies to advice. Ifyou’ve already had a meal or twoof high-mercury fish during yourpregnancy, please don’t worrythat you’ve injured your baby’sbrain. A meal or two of high-mer-cury fish is not like taking poison.

Dr. Wallace: I was

born in December of

1997. Last weekend I

was looking for my

birth certificate in a

box marked “import-

ant” papers, and while

browsing through the

box, I found my par-

ents’ wedding certifi-

cate. It stated that they

were married on July

14, 1997.

My mom always

told me that they were

married on July 14,

1996. My parents are

now divorced, and I am

living with my mom.

She is a wonderful

parent and I love her

very much. She is also

my best friend. My

parents are divorced

and my father has left

the region and we don’t

know where he is and

we don’t really care. He

was a terrible husband

and father. I’m thrilled

that he is out of our

lives.

Now that I have

discovered that mom

was pregnant when she

married my father, I

feel guilty because she

probably wouldn’t have

married this guy if she

wasn’t going to have a

baby. Should I talk to

my mom about all this,

or should I just “let

sleeping dogs lie”? –Nameless, Moline

Dear Nameless:You had nothing to

say about your par-

ents’ marriage, and

it appears that their

divorce was inevitable.

You have no reason to

feel guilty for anything

concerning Mom and

Dad. There is no good

reason to mention

to Mom that you are

aware that she was

pregnant when she

married your father.

Dr. Wallace: I would

like to comment on

the girl who said that

her parents compared

her to a cousin just to

encourage her to do

better academically.

Your response was

very true. Her parents

were making a huge

mistake and they need-

ed to stop this practice

immediately.

Here is my story.

I hope this will cause

parents to encourage,

but not by comparison.

My mother always

compared me unfavor-

ably to my many cous-

ins. I was either too fat

or my grades were not

good enough.

Now time has

passed and I’m the

vice president of a

health care system. I

have a master’s degree

in business adminis-

tration, and I earn a

good salary. None of

my cousins have my

educational or profes-

sional status. That’s

really not important.

Thanks to my

mother, I still struggle

with low self-esteem,

a remnant of feeling

like a failure when

compared to my

cousins. Is it possible

that parents who use

comparison as a moti-

vational tool for their

children are really

trying to compensate

for their own feelings

of inadequacy when

they were young? – Jo,Baltimore, Md.

Dear Jo: Yes, it is

possible. And it’s al-

ways good for parents

and teens to hear from

someone who had a

negative experience

and finished with a

positive life. I’m sure

many parents will re-

consider their actions

and motivate their

children in a more pos-

itive way.

Dear Abby: Coming out of anabusive relationship in the past, Imade some poor decisions.

I moved away from home andinto pornography and prostitu-tion. I come from a small town,and it became a big deal when ithit the Internet. Everyone in mygeneration back home knew whatI did.

Years later, I’m back home. Ihave a wonderful husband andwe’re expecting our first child– a girl. My husband loves andaccepts me in spite of my past,and my mother has become mybest friend. I love my life here.Nowhere else feels like home.

But I’m worried that my child’slife could be miserable herebecause of my past. She will go toschool with the children of peoplewho know my history.

No parent would want theirchild around me and – by exten-sion – her. She may also learn theunsavory things I did.

I’m torn between movingaway for her sake or staying. Myparents are aging and have noone else to care for them. They

can’t follow me, but say I shoulddo what is best for the baby. Ihate the idea of deserting myparents when they need me. ButI also hate that my child will beostracized. Can you help? – Lost InThe South

Dear Lost: For your child’s sake,I think you should relocate. As I’msure you have already realized,people can be cruel and they loveto talk.

When children overhear whatis said over the back fence, theycan be cruel, too, and I’d ratheryour daughter wasn’t subjectedto it. (This is not to imply thatwherever you go, you might notencounter someone who recogniz-es you – but the chances are less.)

You don’t have to move rightaway. Take your time and scoutout locations. Arrangements canbe made for care if your parentsneed it. But your daughter’s wel-

fare must come first.Dear Abby: When you go to the

store for milk and eggs there is a“sell-by” date on the package. Howlong after that date is it safe to usethem? – Wondering In New Jersey

DearWondering:According toEatbydate.com, when it comes tomilk, the length of time it lastsbeyond the expiration date on thecarton depends on what kind ofmilk it is. Lactose-free and non-fatmilk last another seven to 10 days.Skim and reduced-fat milk, oneweek.

Whole milk should last five toseven days. Of course, for this tohappen, the milk must be storedproperly, at a temperature at orbelow 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Academy of Nutrition andDietetics states that eggs shouldbe refrigerated at the time youbuy them and as soon as possibleupon your return home, and canbe used up to three weeks afterthe sell-by date if they have beenstored properly.

Daughter should not feel guilty

Read the suit frompartner’s play

Nancy Mitford, an Englishnovelist, said: “I have only readone book in my life and that is‘White Fang.’ It’s so frightfullygood that I’ve never bothered toread another.”

That is hard to believe – shemust have read her own books!

One of the arts of good bridgeis reading the cards – working outwho has what from those played.That is important for West in thisdeal. How should he plan the de-fense against three no-trump? Westleads the heart four: three, jack,queen. South plays a club to dum-my’s king, then runs the diamondjack. After winning with his queen,how should West continue?

South starts with only five toptricks: two hearts (given trickone) and three clubs. Obviouslyhe will play on diamonds for morewinners, with spades on the backburner if necessary.

Several years ago, during aninterview, I was asked what is theone thing I teach my students thatthey never seem to get straight andI cannot understand why. This iswhat I answered. When playingthird hand high on defense, youplay the bottom of equally power-ful cards.

In this deal, when East plays theheart jack at trick one, he deniesholding the 10. So West, readingthe cards, knows that South startedwith the heart ace, queen and 10.This means that leading anotherheart cannot be right. West needsto get East on play for a heart leadthrough South.

Enter the second key rule: Ifyou lead low from length, youguarantee at least one honor inthat suit. Here, West should shiftto the spade eight, high denying anhonor. Then East should win withhis ace and return the heart seven,resulting in South’s going downtwo.

MAPLE PARK – Perhapsa night exploring science,technology, engineering andmathematics might sound alittle intimidating. Instead,a night of stargazing whiledining at Kuipers FamilyFarm would feel like a funnight out.

The Northern IllinoisUniversity STEM Cafe willfeature such an opportu-nity from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.Tuesday at the orchard atKuipers, 1N318 Watson Roadin Maple Park. It is a freeevent, but visitors are invit-ed to dine for a fee. Kuiperswill provide a special menu,and soft drinks, beer andwine will be available forpurchase.

STEM Cafe events providea way for those at NIU to taketheir message on the roadand provide an educationalprogram in a more relaxedenvironment. For exam-ple, STEM Cafe will have aPhysics of Football event at6:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at O’Leary’sRestaurant in DeKalb. A pastevent was on the topic of theScience of Beer.

Pati Sievert, the directorof NIU STEM Outreach, saidsuch events help visitors“get to know some of the

researchers on campus andto understand how science,technology, engineering andmath impact our lives.”

Judith Dymond, the coor-dinator for the NIU Centerfor Economic Education, saidorganizers are excited aboutTuesday’s event. The maindraw is the annual Perseidmeteor shower. There willbe three speakers from NIU –Daniel Strange, David Hedinand Sheldon Turner – to dis-cuss subjects from NASA’slatest missions to the meteorshower. A question-and-an-swer session will follow.

Strange is the new man-ager of the NIU Davis HallObservatory. He will speakon the history of unmanned

spacecraft missions tocomets, according to a newsrelease.

Hedin is a board oftrustees professor. He willdiscuss recent discoveriesof exoplanets and talk aboutthe possibility of habitableEarth-like planets in theuniverse, according to therelease.

Turner is with NIU’sInstitute for the Study of theEnvironment, Sustainability,and Energy. He plans to dis-cuss why the InternationalAstronomical Union changedthe definition of a planet toexclude Pluto and created thenew category of dwarf planet,the release states.

Dymond said it’s special

to have the event at a placesuch as Kuipers, which willallow enough darkness tofully enjoy the night sky.

“We’re really excitedabout being there,” Dymondsaid. “The space is so nice.”

Sievert described the set-ting as picturesque. She saidthe event starts before dark,with presentations inside.There will be solar lights setup before the event, and afterthe presentations, partic-ipants will walk to a path,featuring the solar lights,that will lead to telescopesthat will be set up.

The events take place re-gardless of the weather, butSievert said a clear sky willmake for a more enjoyableviewing experience.

“As long as the weathercooperates, there will bestargazing,” she said.
