SLICE OF LIFE

ELBURN – A huge step
toward easing Elburn’s trafficissues was taken Monday af-
ternoon, as state, county and
village officials plunged shov-
els into the ground to signifythe kicking off of a project that
will create a crossing of the
train tracks in town.
The groundbreaking cer-
emony took place near the
intersection of Anderson Roadand Prairie Valley Street, just
northeast of John Stewart
Elementary School in Elburn.
The project will extend the
road, which currently stops atthe intersection, to the south.
Included will be a bridge
that crosses the tracks. That
will provide an alternativeroute in Elburn, because driv-
ers often are forced to wait at
the tracks on Route 47. A study
showed that 105 trains a day
pass through the village.
Elburn Village PresidentDave Anderson, Kane County
Board Chairman Chris
Lauzen, Kane County Board
member Drew Frasz and
Kane County engineer Carl
Shoedel were among those
who spoke at the event. State
Rep. Kay Hatcher, R-Yorkville,
Kaneland School District 302
Superintendent Jeff Schuler,ShoDeen Inc. president Dave
Patzelt and Elburn officials
were among those in atten-
dance.
Lauzen credited thespirit of cooperation that
brought the project together.
Schoedel said there will be
more to say when the project
comes in under budget andon time. Anderson thanked
officials including Lauzen and
Lauzen’s predecessor, Karen
McConnaughay. Frasz talked
of the celebration to come
“a year and a half from now,
when we’re cutting the ribbon
on this bridge.”
Also at the event was Paul
Holcomb, the project’s man-
ager. Holcomb explained that
the intersection of Anderson
Road and Route 38 will remain
in the same place, but much of
Anderson Road will shift to theeast, and the road will not be
directly next to John Stewart
Elementary. Anderson Road
currently stops just shy of
the parking lot in front of the
school.
“It will start moving grad-
ually to the east, so it’s away
from the school,” he said.
“That’s a good thing.”
He said there is hope that
significant construction can
begin this year.
The project got the green
light earlier this year, when
Elburn officials agreed to
annex the land on which
ShoDeen will build the Elburn
Station development. That
construction won’t begin until
after the bridge is complete,
and there was much debate
over the project before its ap-
proval. Frasz saluted Elburn
Village Board member Bill
Grabarek, who played a key
role in the debate that went on
for months as the details were
hammered out.
Grabarek was at Monday’s
ceremony. He acknowledged
that he “made a lot of noise”
about it, but he said it only was
to make certain that the village
was represented properly. He
said the extension will be “a
great benefit.”
The project includes more
than $21 million in state,
federal and local funds, and
officials have credited former
Speaker of the House Dennis
Hastert for his role. After the
ceremony, Frasz said there
were times he was concerned
about the project, as the village
debated the plans for Elburn
Station, but he was pleased
that details were worked out.Now that plans are mov-
ing forward, Anderson said
people, in the future, will lookback at this as a significantevent.
“Twenty years from now, peo-ple will be astounded at howmuch traffic and how muchactivity this bridge will have,”
Anderson said.

KING OF THE CHEESY BEEFKING OF THE CHEESY BEEF
By NICOLE [email protected]
ST. CHARLES – Music lov-ers had a chance to indulge insome country and bluegrasstunes Saturday in St. Charleswhile helping three localcharitable organizations andpaying tribute to veterans.
The third annual concertheld at the Arcada Theatreraised money for the St.Charles Noon Rotary Cluband the River Corridor Foun-dation of St. Charles. Andfor the first time, the concertbenefited the Operation Fi-nally Home organization andsaluted veterans.
Bob Brown, president ofthe St. Charles Noon Rota-ry Club, said the first yearof the concert drew 600 at-tendees and the second yeardrew almost 900 people. Thisyear, organizers offered anafternoon concert that drewabout 400 people, accordingto Arcada personnel, alongwith a second concert at 7p.m. Brown said he hoped toexceed the more than $30,000they helped raise last year forthe organizations.
The Rotary Club in the lastfive years has given $73,000 inlocal scholarships and $43,000in local charitable giving ef-forts, Brown said.
He said he was excited topartner with a new organiza-tion this year – Operation Fi-nally Home – that helps buildhomes for wounded servicemembers and their familiesin the St. Charles area.
And, with Veterans Dayaround the corner, the con-cert honored veterans, andmilitary men and women.Special guest Wally Guzy,97, a World War II veteranwho was in the 90th ArmyInfantry Division and foughtduring the D-Day Normandyinvasion, led the audiencein the Pledge of Allegiance.Brown said special guestJohn Wredling, a World WarII veteran who served in theArmy Air Corps, also wassupposed to be in attendance,but wasn’t feeling well.
An opening act also wasa new addition to this year’sconcert. Billy Croft & the 5Alarm opened for the Hen-house Prowlers, which have
performed the past two years.Singer and guitar player BillyCroft, a Naperville firefighterwho lives in St. Charles, saidhe and his band memberswere glad to be a part of thebenefit concert for the firsttime and help raise funds forthe nonprofits.
“They do a lot of goodthings for the community,and as a fireman, that fits inwith what we do,” he said.
John Rabchuk, treasurerfor the River Corridor Foun-dation of St. Charles, saidthe concert is one of the big-gest fundraisers of the yearfor the organization, whichhelps maintain and improvewalkways and bike paths
along the Fox River corridor.Rabchuk said members
of the organization hope touse the money raised to im-plement some ideas they’veculled from other citiesacross the country that sur-round rivers. He said the ideafor the annual concert start-ed with the Rev. Al Patten, aminister at Baker MemorialUnited Methodist Church inSt. Charles, who was a “blue-grass aficionado,” and wasalso a member of the RiverCorridor Foundation and Ro-tary Club.
“[The concert] has alwaysbeen at the Arcada,” he said.“It’s a great way to showcaseSt. Charles.”

Weather HistoryCooperstown, N.Y., home of baseball’s Hallof Fame, entered the “weather hall of fame”on Nov. 5, 1971, with its third-latest firstfrost on record. The cold only made a shortstop. Record warmth rallied in December.

Alot of what R. KyleReed says is non-sense.
At least that’s what theKaneville resident tells peo-ple attending his Bidder 101class, which usually pre-cedes an auction.
As an auctioneer, whathe says – the auction chant– consists of filler words –the nonsense – as well as theimportant content, the dollaramounts offered to the bid-ders, he said.
He provided that infor-mation – along with instruc-tions on the bidding proce-dure and the definitions ofother auction terms – to agroup gathered at the Bee-hive Tavern and Grille indowntown St. Charles lastmonth for an auction bene-fiting a man fighting cancer.
Standing on a raised plat-form in the establishment’sback room, Reed began auc-tioning off more than a hun-dred items, an assortmentthat included baked goods,beauty products, toys andgift certificates.
“It’s the best part of thewhole gig,” he said.
The real work happens be-hind the scenes, such as cat-aloguing and photographingthe items, Reed said.
“By the time I get to theactual auction, I’m exhaust-ed,” he said, likening theevent to an improv show.
During last month’s ben-efit auction, his father and
brother displayed the itemsfor sale while Reed spokeinto a microphone, occasion-ally teasing his brother andjoking with the crowd.
“OK, on the plate of foodshe brought out,” he said,referring to a waitress weav-ing through the tables andchairs, “who will give me $5for that?”
Between the silliness, the
auction chant rolled off histongue in rapid-fire succes-sion.
“That’s just practice,”Reed said, noting he hasrehearsed the numbers somany times in his head thathe doesn’t have to thinkabout them during the auc-tion itself.
B u t h e d e l i b e r a t e l ydoesn’t speak as fast as someauctioneers.
“I try to sell things quick-ly, but I want people to enjoyit,” he said.
Reed, 38, grew up going toauctions with his father andgrandfather, but said he onlyrecently turned to auction-
eering as a profession.Like many others, he said,
he was laid off in 2009. Boredand unemployed, he wantedto start a business. That ledhim to create Reed’s Gen-eral Merchandise, a familyowned and operated auctionand Internet consignmentbusiness based in Lily Lake.
Reed received his train-ing at the Nashville AuctionSchool in Tullahoma, Tenn.,he said. He is a licensed auc-
tioneer in Illinois.In addition to holding auc-
tions on location, Reed reg-ularly conducts public con-signment auctions, he said,noting his next is set for 5p.m. Saturday at the DaveWerdin Community Centerin Kaneville.
In his experience, there’sa buyer for everything.
“For the right price,” Reedsaid, “you can sell about any-thing.”

CAMPTON TOWNSHIP –Mary Ann Sedor’s pants werecaked in mud after her bicy-cle couldn’t quite make it upa muddy hill during Sunday’sCampton Cross – Chicago Cy-clocross Cup Halloween Raceat Anderson Park in CamptonTownship.
“I totally wiped out,” Sedorsaid. “My bike tipped over.”
Despite the setback, theWarrenville resident said sheenjoyed the challenge of therace.
“It is super hard,” Sedorsaid. “You are pretty muchat your threshold the wholetime.”
Participants and specta-tors were encouraged to dressin costume in the CamptonCross, which consisted of 12different races.
For Jostein Alvestad ofElmhurst, dressing up wasas much fun as riding in therace. He came dressed as Ton-to, with his black wig dou-bling as a bicycle helmet.
“I saw the movie ‘The LoneRanger’ with my kids and de-cided to dress as Tonto,” Al-vestad said.
The course provided plentyof challenges for Alvestad aswell.
“There are some trickyturns and some challengingbumpy parts,” he said.
Cyclocross is the sport ofracing bicycles over roughterrain. Bicyclist Matt How-ley of Glen Ellyn discoveredjust how rough the coursewas after participating in theevent.
“It’s mostly uphill,” How-ley said. “Jostein talked meinto doing the race. I did mybest.”

GENEVA – Geneva’slong-term plan was to havebike trails along Route 31from Fabyan Forest Pre-serve to the south and con-necting to the Fox RiverTrail at the Kane CountyGovernment Center.
Aldermen Monday ap-proved advancing a goalto put in two bike lanes onRoute 31, while address-ing the narrowness of theexisting traffic lanes. Theconcept was included in thecity’s 2005 bike plan. Beingincluded in the next fiscalyear’s goals means the is-sue will be discussed andexamined, not necessarilyapproved, officials said.
Bob Fitzsimmons, a res-ident of the city’s 5th Wardand Phil Bus, former direc-tor of the county’s transpor-tation department, spoke toaldermen about addressingthe bike path issue as thestate will have to repaveRoute 31 in the comingyears.
“This has been a conceptfor a long time,” Fitzsim-mons said.
Bus said Route 31 has nar-row lanes, from 38.5- to 40-
feet wide “and we’ve all hadat least one white-knuckleexperience on Route 31.”
Their proposal is to putin 5-foot-wide bike paths oneither side, creating a two-lane road with one throughlane and a turn lane.
The goal also would be toimprove safety and reducecrashes.
The speed limits are 35and 30 mph, but Bus said,“I don’t know anyone whohas actually driven 30 milesan hour. If you’re going tothe train, you’re going a lotfaster.”
The restructuring ofthe road in their proposalwould have a “calming ef-fect” on traffic, allowing theroad to maintain capacity of12,000 to 14,000 cars daily,including trucks.
Bus said the goal is not toreduce traffic capacity, butto create opportunities forbike and pedestrian friend-ly connections to existingtrails.
The proposal calls forlandscape islands in someareas, but officials notedthe city would have to payfor those – not the state – sothe consideration would in-clude cost of maintenanceand upkeep.

ST. CHARLES – An amend-ment needed to facilitate theredevelopment of Charles-towne Mall was passed unan-imously through an omnibusvote Monday evening by theSt. Charles City Council.
The city’s planning anddevelopment committee lastweek supported the conceptapproved Monday.
The current Charlestowne
Mall PUD, which was formedin 1988, requires approval ofa new PUD in order to makeany building modificationsand add new buildings.
The contract purchasersof the property, SC Main 3800LLC, have indicated they planto construct freestandingstructures, such as banks orrestaurants, along East MainStreet.
Other proposed modifica-tions may include changes tothe “ring road” around the
mall, removal of the formerSears store and changes to theexterior.
Proposed plans also callfor more prominent front en-trances with pedestrian-ori-ented streetscaping, accord-ing to meeting documents.
Mayor Ray Rogina saidthe closing date with the pro-posed developers will likelybe sometime mid-November.Following a closing date, hesaid the council likely willstart crafting incentives.
He said he has been “verypleased” with how the citystaff and proposed developershave been working togetherthrough the process so far.
In other business, councilmembers approved an ordi-nance to issue no more than$5.5 million in general obli-gation bonds for various in-frastructure improvementsaround the city, includingweatherizing the City Hallbuilding and improvingdrainage at Tyler Road and
Main Street.Finance Director Chris
Minick said all of the im-provements were consideredduring the budget process.
He said he expects inter-est rates to be around 4 per-cent. He said while interestrates are slightly higher thanthey were a few months ago,they’re still more reasonablethan they have been.
“Keep in mind, these arehistorically extremely lowrates,” he said.

ST. CHARLES – A St.Charles mother has fileda lawsuit against the St.Charles School District 303and another child’s parentsafter she said her son wasbullied at school.
Tracie Hunley and herson, now 11, are named asthe plaintiffs in the suit filedlast week, which seeks dam-ages in excess of $50,000 foran incident that allegedlyhappened on or about Oct.16, 2012, according to thelawsuit.
The school district, a mi-nor child and the child’s par-ents are named as the defen-dants in the case.
According to court doc-uments, Hunley’s son hadbeen bullied by anotherstudent while attending Da-vis Primary School in St.Charles last year.
The lawsuit states thatDistrict 303 staff membersand administrators knew ofthe bullying, and staff mem-bers were supposed to benotified both orally and inwriting that the two studentsneeded to be separated whileon school property.
Court documents alsostate that the school districtheld individual meetingswith the family of both stu-dents to inform them of this
policy.“Despite District 303’s
knowledge of the bullyingacts, the two were let out forsupervised recess togetheron Oct. 16, 2012,” the suitstates.
It says the minor defen-dant named in the lawsuitstruck Hunley’s son, “caus-ing him to fall and injurehimself.”
It also says that the plain-tiffs “did not learn of the fail-ings and wrongdoing untilwell after the Oct. 16, 2012,incident,” and that Hunley’sson fell, “causing seriousand permanent injury to hisperson.”
One count of the lawsuitstates the school districtrecklessly failed to take theproper steps to prevent thetwo boys from coming intocontact with one another,recklessly failed to ensurethat all staff members re-ceived notification that thetwo boys be separated fromone another at all times andpurposely allowed the twoboys to go out to recess to-gether.
A second count of the law-
suit says the minor defen-dant’s parents knew of thepotential danger and failedto take proper steps to pre-vent the two boys from beingin contact.
It also states that theyfailed to remove their sonfrom Davis Primary Schoolafter the alleged bullying be-gan.
Count two of the lawsuitstates that the defendants“failed to properly parent”and “failed to properly dis-cipline” the minor defendantand also failed to restrain theminor defendant from con-tacting the minor plaintiff.

ST. CHARLES – John Brayof St. Charles said he hadbeen thinking about writinga children’s book for a longtime. His inspiration came afew years ago when his son,at age 5, asked him if candygrew on trees or bushes. Thatstirred his imagination.
For the record, Bray an-swered “bushes,” becausethat’s what made the mostsense in his imagination, hesaid.
Bray’s story is centeredaround the character, “Mag-gie,” a curious, free-spirit-ed 7-year-old who lives in ablue house at the farthestend of her street. One day,she mixed up a potion in herkitchen, then tripped, spill-ing the potion in her yard.
And that’s where the“Maggie and the SprinkleTree” adventure begins.
Bray partnered with hisfriend and graphic design-er, Christian Jackson of St.Charles, to illustrate thebook.
In order to cover the pub-lishing costs, they’ve beenasking for funds through a
Kickstarter campaign online,which ends at 7 p.m. Thurs-day.
As of last week, the pairhad reached about 80 per-
cent of their $9,500 goal butstill need about $1,700 moreby Thursday to fund the pub-lishing costs of the 36-pagebook. The process started
in 2009 and the story now iscomplete.
“The process took so long,but that benefited the charac-ter,” Bray said.
“It’s been great becausewe’ve been able to build thischaracter over time,” Jack-son said. “She’s a combina-tion of our kids.”
Jackson has two daugh-ters, and Bray has a son. Theysaid while writing and illus-trating the book, it was im-portant to them to leave outany kind of moral or lessonbecause there aren’t enoughchildren’s books like that.
“Almost every book youget, you get your lesson – eatyour vegetables, don’t hityour brother,” Bray said. “Ijust wanted the book to beabout imagination withoutanything to control it. ... It’sabout a kid being a kid.”
The book is targeted atchildren ages 4 and older, andBray said both boys and girlswould enjoy it.

The caregiver’s journeyTo the Editor:When my husband, Steve, was
diagnosed with ALS (amyo-trophic lateral sclerosis) eightyears ago, all we knew for surewas that it would slowly robhim of his ability to function,and then it would kill him. Wehad no idea how tough ourjourney would be. I knew thatbecause I loved Steve, I wouldgive him the best I had, but Iwasn’t sure my best would beenough.In the beginning, I did simple
things for Steve like buttoninghis shirts. Now, Steve can nolonger do anything for himself.Through the years, my roleas wife has morphed into an
unbalanced blend of wife/care-giver, heavy on the caregiverpart, and I’ve had to learn moreabout medical procedures andequipment than I ever wantedto know.Steve needs assistance to
move from bed to wheelchairto toilet several times each day.Fun activities, like visiting achild at college, are stressful forus. Because ALS has taken hisability to speak, we often com-municate via email even whenin the same room. He can’t hugme, kiss me, or hold my hand.Sometimes it feels like we aresimply coexisting.To say this is tough is the
understatement of the century.Fortunately, we have hired a
professional caregiver to help
part time, which allows me to
do the things I love, and exist
“just” as Steve’s wife, a great
gift. In this way, Steve’s care-giver is caring for me, too.
We are also cared for and sup-ported by the Les Turner ALS
Foundation, our lifeline through
the twists and turns of our ALS
journey.This month, which is National
Family Caregivers Month, I am
reminded that my caregiving
journey is challenging, but I do
not journey alone, and my best
IS enough.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A tax that works incombating smoking
THE WASHINGTON POST
Boosting taxes on ciga-
rettes is an effective way to
cut smoking rates among
adults and, even more,
among those college-age and
younger. It also cuts tobac-
co-related disease and death.
A case in point is Maryland,
where the incidence of
smoking fell by a third from
1998 to 2010, a period during
which the state more than
quintupled its cigarette tax.
By the same token, states
that have allowed cigarette
levies to remain low, under
the sway of Big Tobacco or
anti-tax sentiment, generally
suffer from higher smok-
ing rates and the resulting
impact on public health.
Virginia’s cigarette tax is
second-lowest in the nation,
after Missouri’s; it is an ex-
ample of a state that extends
its smokers a license to kill
– themselves.
Pleased with the results
in Maryland, anti-tobacco
advocates want to build on
their success. On the merits,
they have an easy case to
make. After the state dou-
bled its levy in 2008, to $2 a
pack, cigarette sales dropped
sharply. Now advocates
want to raise the per pack
tax again, to $3. Lawmakers
should take note.
Higher taxes are partic-
ularly effective in cutting
tobacco use among younger
smokers, whose habits are
less entrenched and who
are more sensitive to price.
As a direct result of the 2008
tax increase, youth smoking
rates plummeted by almost
a third in two years. In 2009,
just 12 percent of Maryland
youths were smokers, com-
pared with a national rate of
almost 20 percent.
And while adult smokers
are somewhat less sensitive
to price increases, Mary-
land’s 2008 tax hike helped
cut the number of adult
smokers by about 13 percent.
Complacency is the
wrong course of action.
Anti-tobacco advocates point
out that following the big
drop after 2008, smoking
rates in Maryland have
started to inch up again over
the past few years. That
coincides with an 80 per-
cent cut in spending on the
state’s main anti-smoking
program, which aims to help
people to quit or not start in
the first place. Despite its
relatively high tax rate on
cigarettes, Maryland ranks
just 34th nationally among
the states in spending on its
anti-smoking program.
Each of the three increas-
es in Maryland’s cigarette
tax over the past dozen years
has been followed imme-
diately by a sharp drop in
sales. True, some Maryland
smokers may simply cross
the border to buy their car-
tons in low-tax Virginia. But
more have quit or cut back,
as state-by-state smoking
rates suggest.
The tobacco lobby
remains strong enough to
push back against further
increases. In Annapolis, a
bill this year to raise the
state’s per-pack tax to $3
died in committee. A similar
effort in the legislative
session starting in January
may suffer the same fate.
Anti-smoking advocates
are focusing their efforts on
the next year or two in the
legislative calendar. They
should be helped both by the
counter-example of Virginia
– and by the facts.

2013 KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE GIRLS TENNIS PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Einck anxious to evolveBy KEVIN DRULEY
Tennis provided a com-fortable constant for Genevajunior Kirby Einck during achildhood filled with familymoves.
While her game traveledwell, that didn’t make Einckcomplacent.
Improving throughout herthree high school seasons,Einck has cultivated herskills during busy offseasonsof USTA tournament play.The Kane County ChronicleGirls Tennis Player of theYear found herself beingmuch more forward duringthis past cycle, and she’s anx-ious to see how that approachevolves in the next year.
“I don’t wait for the ballas much anymore,” Eincksaid, “and when I see a shortball, I go after it without anyquestion.”
Einck forced the issuethroughout a 27-5 juniorseason, which brought hercareer record to 82-19, a .812winning percentage.
Her postseason accom-
plishments included anUpstate Eight ConferenceRiver Division singles title,runner-up finish at the St.Charles East Sectional and a4-2 mark at the state tourna-ment, her third.
Vikings coach MaureenWeiler sensed big things fromEinck again after she chal-lenged eventual state singleschampion Tiffany Chen ofNaperville Central during aSept. 5 road dual. Einck andChen split the first two setsbefore Chen, a sophomore,captured the third, 10-8, in asuper tiebreaker.
“Kirby was really attack-ing each player to beginwith,” Weiler said. “I thinkthat comes with maturity, alot of experience out on thecourt.”
Weiler has seen Einck’sprogression as an athlete anda person since her days asEinck’s eighth-grade mathteacher at Geneva MiddleSchool South. For others new-er to the Einck experience,she’s just as talented andgenuine.
Vikings freshman Grace
Krueger, who matchedEinck’s 2011 feat by quali-fying for state in her debutseason, embraced Einck’stutelage throughout the fall.After first encountering eachother in passing while train-ing at the Vaughan Center inAurora as middle-schoolers,Einck and Krueger formed awelcome bond that only fu-eled the overall camaraderiebetween Geneva’s sectionalteam champions.
“[Einck] helped mebecome a better player byhitting with me every dayat practice,” Krueger said.“When she knew I would beplaying somebody [challeng-ing], she would be giving meadvice on what to do and howto play them.”
Naturally, Einck saw herown share of daunting compe-tition, and experienced a sea-son-ending state tournamentloss for the third straight fall.
De La Salle’s KhaliaPowell, who went on to theconsolation quarterfinals,topped Einck, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 ina sixth-round consolationmatch.
“I would have really likedto win that match,” Eincksaid, “but I left it all out thereso I really couldn’t be toodisappointed.”
Einck and Powell alreadywere acquainted from theUSTA circuit when theymet at state. Einck plans tocompete in a USTA tourna-ment in South Bend, Ind.,this weekend, renewing anoffseason pattern she alwayshas enjoyed.
Einck hopes the cycletakes her deep into the win-ner’s bracket at state in 2014.She also would like to play incollege and is eager for therecruitment process to gainsteam.
For now, though, Einckis not fretting about a thing,which stems from her moreaggressive approach.
“I got more confidentin my shot-making and Iknew that I could finish thepoints quicker,” Einck said.“There’s no point in stayingout there longer when youcan put the ball away in ashorter rally time. It’s just tosave more energy, I guess.”

STC North’s Masoncup welcomes ‘whirlwind’By KEVIN DRULEY
Technically, the Sean Ma-soncup era at St. Charles Northopened when school officialsnamed him new girls basketballcoach on June 3.
Masoncup’s footprint thentook greater shape with summercamp and league play, creatingan effective imprint enteringMonday’s first day of practice.
Masoncup doesn’t disagreeon that point, but he’ll alwaysargue there’s no better stampon a season than when sneak-ers screech on hardwood for thefirst time in November.
“It’s nice to finally get it start-ed,” Masoncup said. “Yeah, wehad the summer, but this wasthe first official one. It was awhirlwind making sure all threelevels had everything going, butit was a lot of fun. I thought thegirls were really excited to get
out on the court.”A North boys assistant for the
past fiveseasons,Masoncuptakesover for former coach ColleenBacker, who resigned in April af-ter four seasons. The North Starsfinished 9-20 in 2012-13.
Masoncup, who’s alsoNorth’s boys tennis coach, wasa prep athlete at Geneva beforeturning to teaching. He hasmore than a decade of experi-ence in District 303, and taughtmuch of North’s current rosteras a member of the Haines Mid-dle School physical educationand health staff – including ju-nior Nicole Davidson and soph-omore Morgan Rosencrants.
Calling tryouts “the least fa-vorite week for a coach,” Mason-cup envisions making the fullscope of his workouts on displaysoon enough.
“It’s close right now,” hesaid. “With the varsity you sortof know, you have an idea, and
obviously we’re evaluating ev-ery day. But we’re starting toinstall stuff. … I would ventureto say by the end of next weekwe’ll have everything in and beready to go full speed going intothe York Thanksgiving Tourna-ment.”
Dogged pursuit: Bataviajumped from 13 to 18 victories inits second season under coachKevin Jensen despite having aroster of just eight players.
With upperclassmen num-bers again looking dicey as prac-tices start, Jensen is preparedfor a repeat.
“I’d be comfortable with itagain because I know it can bedone,” he said. “I’d sure love tohave 10, though.”
Senior Division I commitsLiza Fruendt (Missouri State)and Erin Bayram (Boston Uni-versity) look to fill go-to rolesagain and keep the Bulldogs onthe upswing. Jensen, also an
assistant for the football teamthat’s preparing for a Class6A second-round playoff gameSaturday at Rolling Meadows,knows the duo can lead off thecourt, too.
Both Fruendt and Bayramare active as organizers for Bat-avia’s Dog Pound student sec-tion.
“They were already excit-ed anyway, but when your fallsports across the board havesome nice success, it’s a lot offun even if there aren’t all thatmany people who cross over,”Jensen said.
Loebel able: Shifty seniorpoint guard Michaela Loebel,who suffered a torn ACL in thefourth game of last season, wasa welcome sight at Geneva prac-tice.
“Everybody’s healthy. Ev-erybody worked hard. The basickids are back,” Vikings coachSarah Meadows said.

LINCOLNSHIRE – St.
Charles East football coach
Mike Fields made what he con-
sidered to be a cut-and-dried
decision, declining a penal-
ty to give Stevenson a third-
and-9 rather than make it sec-
ond-and-14.
“I don’t know a coach in
the country that wouldn’t take
third-and-9, and then they hit
it for a first down,” Fields said.
“That was the story of the game.
It just kind of epitomizes the
game today.
“We had guys in position
to make great plays, and their
guys made them, and we didn’t,
and so they’ll move on. I wish
them nothing but the best.
They’re a good football team.”
After playing stout defense
on most first and second downs,
the Saints’ defense struggled
to finish out series throughout
Saturday’s 35-7 Stevenson win
in the first round of the IHSAClass 8A playoffs.
The sixth-seeded Patriots (8-2) seemed to hit another gearwhen they needed conversionsto remain on the field.
“They were very good re-ceivers,” East senior corner-back Scott Robak said. “I givemy hat’s off to them. Couldhave, would have, should have.They were a very good team.”
Patriots quarterback WillieBourbon made a habit of sav-ing his best moments for thirdand fourth downs, with plentyof help from a skillful wide re-ceiving corps led by CameronGreen and Matt Morrissey.
“I think they got threefourth-down conversions [inthe first half], and I think theyprobably got another five or sixthird downs – third-and-6, third-and-8,” Fields said. “Thosewideouts are pretty darn good,and that quarterback doesn’thave to be perfect. He can justthrow it up there, and they’ll goget it.”
East (6-4) trailed, 21-0, late in
the second quarter before visit-
ing the red zone twice in the fi-
nal minutes of the half, coming
up empty both times.
On the first occasion, Mor-
rissey – a Michigan State re-
cruit and the son of former
Bears linebacker Jim Mor-rissey – edged in front of Saintsreceiver Brannon Barry to in-tercept a Jimmy Mitchell passat the Patriots’ 1-yard line.
“I think it was just a crossingroute – a lot of teams run that onthe goal line,” Morrissey said.“Saw that, read it pretty well,and I made the play on it.”
East’s defense then held, giv-ing the Saints another posses-sion with prime field positionbefore halftime. The Saintslooked like they were going togo three-and-out, but a fake-punt pass from Mitch Dupuis toMitch Munroe gave the Saints afirst down at the Stevenson 13.
The Saints, though, only hadtime for two plays – both incom-pletions – before closing the halfwith a missed 30-yard field goalattempt.
The Patriots’ lead eventu-ally swelled to 35-0 before Eastnotched its lone touchdown, a9-yard Mitchell keeper with 8:41to play in the game.
Mitchell closed his senior
season going 12 for 27 with 253passing yards and two inter-ceptions. H-back Phil Hopper(three catches, 110 yards), Barry(six catches, 72 yards) and Mun-roe (three catches, 76 yards)sparked the Saints’ offense.
Munroe also scooped up afourth quarter onside kick forEast, while defensive linemanCullen Cady and linebackerParker Vidmich – making hisfirst appearance since a Week 2injury – recovered fumbles forthe Saints.
It was an emotional and in-jury-filled season for the Saints,but Robak thought East carriedon impressively.
“Every person that wasinjured, every person thatstepped up – I love them all,” Ro-bak said. “Everybody steppedup who we needed to step up. Ifwe would have had our startingdefense [throughout the year],we would have been good, butI love every single one on thisteam, and everyone steppedup.”

STC East upset in sectional finalBy KEVIN DRULEY
S C H A U M B U R G – S t .Charles East unleashed someof the best features of its at-tack down the stretch of Sat-urday’s Class 3A SchaumburgSectional final boys soccermatch.
Talented finishers assem-bled in front of the net, uppingthe unpredictability factor onset pieces. In the run of play,speedy forwards blazed downthe flank and let fly.
Just as it had seven weeksago, Lake Park watched theskilled Saints at work andpushed to challenge and react.
The Lancers’ final gestures– triumphant shouts andpumped fists – spoke a mouth-ful about a 1-0 upset againsttop-seeded East.
“We have all the talenthere, and all these guys playsoccer year-round. We’veplayed soccer our wholelives,” Saints senior defenderKevin Heinrich said. “I mean,it just [stinks] when you seea team score one and packit back in. But that’s whatyou’ve got to do to get the win.That’s what it is.”
Lake Park (20-2-3) earnedthe game’s lone score with27:13 remaining in the sec-ond half, as Lancers juniorforward Oliver Horgan roseabove traffic in front of thenet to score off a header of aJoe Keane corner kick.
The goal came momentsafter East goalkeeper Chris
Lucatorto elevated to deflecta Mike Catalano shot fromdistance over the crossbar,which triggered the set piece.
“It got whipped in, it was agreat ball in and we just lostthe match,” Heinrich said.“They wanted it more on thatone, and you’ve just got tocome out and win [the ball].
You’ve just got to do it.”East (20-2-4) looked to take
nothing for granted in its bidto oust Lake Park. Players in-sisted the Saints’ 5-1 victorySept. 10 in Roselle was longforgotten, simply match No.6 in an impressive string of 21straight unbeaten results tostart the season.
Try as they might to forgettheir earlier success againstthe Lancers, though, theSaints know their streak willdefine their season, which fellfour victories short of a 3Astate title. When the unbeatenrun ended Oct. 16 with a 3-1loss at Metea Valley – a teamEast thumped, 7-0, about fiveweeks earlier – the Saints saidthey relearned the impor-tance of constant effort andunimpeded focus.
“We’ve lost twice this sea-son, and both games havebeen to teams that we’ve pre-viously battered earlier in theseason. I hate to say it, but wepicked the worst day of theyear to have our most abys-mal performance,” East coachPaul Jennison said.
“It’s hard, because theseguys are capable of being thebest team in state, and un-
fortunately, we didn’t evenbelong on the same field asthem today. They outworkedus, they had more desire forevery second ball. You knowwhat, at the end of the day,the best team walked outof here winners today, andI’ve got to hold my hands upand say it’s an absolute night-mare it happened the way itdid.”
Jennison and the Saintsdidn’t hesitate to credit LakePark, which outshot East, 12-6, in the first half before Eastenjoyed a 9-2 edge after inter-mission.
Catalano, Keane and Co.made it difficult for the Saintsto work anything through themiddle.
“We prepared for theirquickness in practice, work-ing with our outsides, and wejust got the defense mentallyprepared for this game,” saidLancers senior goalkeeperSteven Mack, who earned histhird straight shutout.
“I always have confidencein my back line. Never real-ly nervous with them backthere. I can always count onthem to help me out, and theycame up huge this game.”

FOOTBALL: IHSA CLASS 3A FIRST ROUND – A. CHRISTIAN 24, IC CATHOLIC 3
Walgren, Aurora Christian turn tablesBy DENNIS D. [email protected]
ELMHURST – BrandonWalgren picked a good timeto have the game of his life.
The Aurora Christiansenior threw a touchdownpass, returned an intercep-tion for a touchdown and hadthree key tackles for lossesfrom his safety position inthe Eagles’ 24-3 victory overIC Catholic Prep on Satur-day in a first-round, Class 3Aplayoff game at Lewis Field.
“It’ll go down as one of thegreat performances in Auro-ra Christian history by oneplayer,” Aurora Christiancoach Don Beebe said. “Whatcan you say? He ran the ballwell, he caught the ball well,he threw the ball well, and hetackled well. I mean, this kid
was all over the field.”Walgren was in the right
place at the right time tomake the single biggest playof the game early in the thirdquarter.
Trailing 10-3, the Knights(6-4) took the opening kickoffof the second half and droveinside the Aurora Christian5-yard line. On third-and-goal at the 3, Walgren tackledRandy Leslie in the backfieldfor a loss of 3. IC Catholiccoach Bill Krefft elected togo for it on fourth down, butWalgren intercepted JackCopher’s pass and returnedit 97 yards for a touchdown.
“They were fourth-and-goal, and I was expectingthe pass,” Walgren said. “Itcame, and I was right there. Ijust ran it and just went [thedistance].”
Instead of potentiallytying the game at 10, theKnights suddenly foundthemselves in a two-touch-down hole.
“That was the play of thegame,” Beebe said. “That wasa big one because they weredriving. They were going tomake it a pretty good game,and who knows then?”
Junior Austin Bray re-turned to start at quarter-back for the Eagles (7-3) aftermissing three-plus games be-cause of injuries.
He looked a little rustyearly, hitting on just two ofhis first five passes for fiveyards and throwing an inter-ception. So Beebe decided toshake things up in the secondquarter by going to the Wild-cat formation with Walgrentaking the snaps.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL
Huskies give backups a chance to shine in win over UMassBy STEVE NITZ
Saturday’s 63-19 win over
UMass gave the Northern Illi-
nois football team a chance to
show off its depth.
With the contest already in
hand, the Huskies’ first-string-
ers were out of the game early
in the third quarter, meaning
a lot of players got to get some
legitimate game action.
Redshirt freshman quar-
terback Drew Hare completed
2 of 4 passes for 98 yards and
a touchdown, and also had a
47-yard touchdown run. True
freshman tailback Joel Bouag-
non ran nine times for 39 yards,
while his Aurora Christian
High School teammate, true
freshman wideout Chad Bee-be, had an 81-yard touchdowncatch from Hare.
“It’s invaluable. it’s some-thing I don’t believe you canever simulate to the pointwith your backups in prac-tice, where you can form theopinion that they’re readyto go,” NIU coach Rod Careysaid Monday’s Mid-AmericanConference coaches telecon-ference. “When you have theopportunity like you did lastweek to get a half of football,
it’ll pay dividends.”
It’s the second straight
week NIU has been able to
get it starters out of the game
early, as the backups also saw
significant time in the 59-20
win over Eastern Michigan
Week 9.
Broncos, Eagles playing forhardware: In terms of the MAC
West title race, Saturday’s
game between Eastern Mich-
igan and Western Michigan
is meaningless, as both teams
have only one win this sea-
son.
But for the respective pro-
grams, it’s an important ri-
valry game, and the Michigan
MAC Trophy is on the line.
The trophy, won by the Ea-
gles the past two seasons, goes
to the team with the best head-to-head record among the threedirectional Michigan programsin the MAC.
This is the first game fea-turing two of the three teams.Western hosts Central on Nov.16, and the Eagles go to MountPleasant on Nov. 29.
“We’d still like to hold on tothat trophy, keep it and havesome success this weekend,”Eastern Michigan head coachRon English said.
Western Michigan coachP.J. Fleck said you can throwout records when it comes torivalry games.
“We’re hungry for a win,”he said. “I know they’re goingto be just as hungry as us.”
Owens coming up big for
Rockets: He’s not at the levelof NIU’s Jordan Lynch or BallState’s Keith Wenning, butToledo quarterback TerranceOwens is having a nice seniorseason, and has really come onover the past two weeks.
Owens threw for 375 yardsand three touchdowns in Sat-urday’s 55-16 win over EasternMichigan, a week after throw-ing for three scores in the Rock-ets’ upset victory at BowlingGreen.
Rockets coach Matt Camp-bell said his team needs Owensto play well the final month ofthe season.
“When he’s the guy that’sleading that charge,” Camp-bell said, “you feel really goodabout your football team.”

Political fights among politiciansare not new. Today, the rivalriesare ridiculed in political cartoonsand on TV sitcoms. In the past,political differences were shown inStaffordshire figures, slogans anddrawings. The rivalry in Britain in thelast half of the 19th century betweenthe prime ministers Benjamin Disraeli(1804-1881) and William Gladstone(1810-1898) was notable. Both menwere skilled politicians, but they hatedeach other. The two men came fromvery different backgrounds. Gladstonewas a rich and deeply religious upper-middle-class man educated at Etonand Oxford. Disraeli never attendeda university and was a wild youth wholived extravagantly. He wrote novels,accumulated debts and then married arich widow. Gladstone, a liberal (Whig),and Disraeli, a conservative, disagreedon both social and internationalpolicies. They called each other names,opposed each other in numerouscampaigns and were able to defeateach other at times. The repeal of theCorn Laws, which lowered tariffs,
the purchase of stock in the SuezCanal, the favor of Queen Victoria,and other major problems were partof their battles. Political cartoons ofthe time often showed the two menfighting. There were even toys thatpictured the men wrestling. Severalversions of the toy have been soldthrough the years. In 2013, Jackson’sAuctions sold a pair of 8 1/2-inch-highGladstone and Disraeli figures in theiroriginal box for $180.

furniture. By 1899 he had incorporatedhis company and was making Missionfurniture. Later he made smokingstands and maple breakfast-roomsets. Your chair probably is from oneof his breakfast-room sets. By the1950s, the company was makingbirch furniture in the Colonial style.The company was later sold and finallyclosed in 1980.
***

A: Hudson Motor Car Co. wasfounded in 1909. Its Super Six enginewas introduced in 1916. The Essexwas a less expensive Hudson carintroduced in 1919 and made until1932. Hudson merged with Nash in1954 and became American MotorsCorp. Automobile-related advertisingof all kinds is collected.

A: McCoy pottery was made inRoseville, Ohio. The company madecookie jars from about 1940 untilthe pottery closed in 1990. Its applecookie jar was made from about1950 to 1964. It was also made inturquoise, a rare color that sells formore. The value of your apple cookiejar is about $100.

Q: I have a late 19th-centurybronzed spelter statue of Hernani. It’sjust under 2 feet tall. He is holding
a sword, dagger and horn, and is inexcellent shape. Value?
A: Hernani was the title characterin a play by Victor Hugo. It opened inParis in 1830 and is set in the Spanishcourt of 1519. Bronzed spelterstatues of Hugo’s fictional characterswere popular in the late 19th century.One the size of yours sold for $140earlier this year.
***
Q: I have a picture postcardshowing the original photograph ofPresident Franklin Roosevelt signingthe Social Security Act on Aug. 14,1935. It’s signed by James Roosevelt,
FDR’s oldest son. Does it have anyvalue?
A: Thousands of copies of thisphotograph were sent out by theNational Committee to PreserveSocial Security and Medicare in amass mailing in 1985, the 50thanniversary of the signing of theSocial Security Act into law. Thecommittee was founded by JamesRoosevelt in 1982. It advocatedraising Social Security benefits forthe “notch” babies, a term coined byAnn Landers for those born between1917 and 1921 who received lowerbenefits than people born between1910 and 1916 because of a changein the way cost-of-living adjustmentswere determined. The committee stillis in existence and works to preventcuts to Social Security and Medicare.The mailing was part of a fundraisingeffort by the committee. The samephotograph also was included ina 1990 mailing. So, your picturepostcard is a common one and not ofmuch interest to collectors.

HOROSCOPE
‘Free Birds’ is a real turkeyBy AL ALEXANDERMore Content Now
Turkeys have been a part of Hol-lywood since filmmaking began. Buta turkey about turkeys is a rare birdindeed. It takes real dumb clucks tobreed poultry that paltry. But “FreeBirds” corners the market.
In fact, I’m not even sure if it’s realmeat. It’s more like soggy, leftovertofu. But whatever it is, it’s certainlynot well done.
It’s best left for the kiddies andtheir less discriminating palates,although it may leave them with asour taste for history in general andPlymouth Colony in particular. Thekin of Massachusetts legends Myl-es Standish and William Bradfordwon’t be too thrilled, either, with arevisionist 3-D cartoon that portraysthe former as a curmudgeonly turkeykiller and the latter, a fat, self-servingblowhard. They’re the villains in ahalf-baked screenplay by director Jim-my Hayward (“Horton Hears a Who”)and Scott Mosier about two toms – onea nerdy, free-range know-it-all namedReggie (voiced by Owen Wilson), andthe other, a muscle-brained factorybird who calls himself Jake (WoodyHarrelson) – traveling back 392 yearsto Plymouth to stop the Pilgrims from
making turkey a Thanksgiving tradi-tion. The bickering pair not only wantto save their necks, but the wattles ofevery turkey that ever paid the pricefor our nation’s annual feast.
OK. It’s a cute idea, one full ofinfinite possibilities for humor andcleverness. But Hayward and Mosiersimply turn it into a dumb, derivativewar picture pitting a rebellious flockof guerilla turkeys, led by the angrybird, Broadbeak (the mellifluousKeith David), against their ravenousoppressors, the Pilgrims. It’s all very“Avatar,” capped by a climactic battlestraight out of “Lord of the Rings”in which spear-toting birds marchselflessly into a hail of cannon fire.Why the Pilgrims would want tomake cannon fodder of their potentialdinner is almost as confounding ashow the thumbless turkeys managedto fashion spears out of knives andbranches. But then nothing about“Free Birds” makes sense – or laughs.It’s more about awful puns, juvenilejokes and shameless product place-ments, most notably Chucky Cheese,which – thanks to a talkative timemachine named S.T.E.V.E. (GeorgeTakei) – may get the chance to caterthe first Thanksgiving. Imagine howfat our vastly overweight nation wouldbe if we’d dined on pizza instead of
turkey the past 392 Thanksgivings.Perish the thought – just like Haywardand Mosier perished any attempts atbeing original.
Everything they serve tastes likestale leftovers, including the obligato-ry love story between the Joan of Arc-like warrior Jenny (Amy Poehler) andher milquetoast admirer, Reggie.
The only thing remotely cleverarrives in the film’s opening minutesset in the 21st century, when everyturkey except Reggie has been snowedinto believing that getting their headschopped off is a blessed rite of passage.Terrific, I thought, they’re going touse the birds as a metaphor for stupid,uninvolved Americans. No such luck.It’s a lost opportunity almost as disap-pointing as the blah, lackluster anima-tion, which looks flat even in 3-D.
So, if you feel like you must go,save some money and see it in regular2-D. But you’d fare even better if youskipped it altogether and used the cashto buy a big, fat turkey you can eatinstead of one you can only watch.
• “Free Birds” is rated PG for some
action, peril and rude humor. The filmfeatures the voices of Owen Wilson,Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler andGeorge Takei. It is co-written and di-rected by Jimmy Hayward. Grade: D

Dr.Wallace: I’m 19
and never had a steady
girlfriend. About three
weeks ago, I met a really
nice girl at my cousin’s
wedding. We had a
conversation that lasted
about 20 minutes, and it
ended when she gave me
her phone number and
said she would like to
go out with me. I almost
fainted because I was
really surprised and was
thinking the same thing.
I called her and we have
gone out three times and
we both had a great time.
I’d like to make this a
lasting relationship.
Please give me some
good advice on the best
ways to make a good
relationship even better.
She did mention that
she recently dumped her
ex-boyfriend because he
became too demanding.
Please, please answer
my letter as soon as you
can! – Mario, El Paso,Tex.
DearMario:You seem
to be doing just fine
without outside advice,
but my wife shared the
following list she read
in one of her women’s
magazines:
1. Make her laugh.
The way to a female’s
heart is through her fun-
ny bone. Girls love a guy
with high entertainment
value. You don’t have to
be a comedian. Just tell
her a funny story about
you, your family or your
friends. Guys don’t have
to look like a rock star if
they can attract females
with their humor.
2. Send or bring her
flowers. Females love
receiving them. Find
out what some of her
favorite flowers are, and
send or bring some from
the florist, the produce
department of the gro-
cery store or from your
backyard garden.
3. Ride in style. You
don’t have to drive a
Porsche or a Ferrari to
impress a female, but
make sure your wheels
are clean and well-pol-
ished, even if you drive a
van or pickup truck.
4. Send her little
notes. They love getting
personal notes. Don’t
make them long or
mushy. Short, but sweet
will let her know you’re
thinking of her.
5. Cook dinner for
her. Girls love to see
guys in the kitchen. If
you’re not comfortable
in the kitchen, order a
pizza or buy a carryout
dinner and serve it in
your kitchen (or take it
to her house). And if she
invites you to her house,
be sure you help her in
the kitchen.
6. Shop till you drop.
One of the best ways to
get closer to a female is
to go shopping with her
for clothes. Help her find
that special something
that she looks good in,
and you will win her
heart.
7. Be nice to her
family and friends.
These people close to her
are the most important
people in her life.
8. Compliment
non-obvious things
about her. You know
that she is beautiful and
has a marvelous smile.
9. No matter what
you two are doing, make
it seem as if it is the most
important thing in the
world at the moment be-
cause you are with her.
10. Be creative and
original. Whatever you
do, if you are bored,
she’s bored, and you’ll
be history. Show her the
time of her life.
And, perhaps most
important, learn from
her ex! He was a control
freak. Don’t make that
mistake. Respect this
young woman.

Dear Abby: I was picked onand bullied as a child. I was veryinsecure and dealt with lowself-esteem. Through counseling Iwas able to overcome these issuesto become a successful wife andmother. My question is, how doI prevent this from happeningto my children without being anoverprotective “bear” of a mom? –Mama Bear In New York
DearMamaBear:Children withhigh self-esteem are less likelyto be the targets of bullies. Moreoften it’s the child whose self-es-teem is fragile to begin with whobecomes the victim.
Children learn self-esteem fromthe way their parents treat them.Tell your children you love them,talk to them, read to them, listento them and give them your undi-vided attention. And when they dosomething right, praise them.
If you teach your childrenrespect for others and how to beindependent, they will be lesslikely to be bullied.
When they are old enough tohave unsupervised access to theircellphones and online activities,you should also monitor them forany indication that they are beingharassed or harassing another
child.Dear Abby: I invited my sister
“Alina” and her husband from outof town for Thanksgiving becausethey had no plans. I then extendedan invitation to my other sister,“Marilyn,” and her husband ifthey had no plans. Marilyn toldme later that her daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren willbe coming in from out of town, soI assumed they’d be celebratingThanksgiving at her house.
When Marilyn asked me ifthey were included I said no, thatthe invitation was for her and herhusband if they had no plans. Nowshe is furious with me and won’ttalk to me. I already have mychildren coming over and that willbe 10 guests, which is as many asI can accommodate. Who is righthere? – Thanksgiving Hostess
Dear Hostess:You are. Your sis-ter should not have assumed thatbecause you invited her and herhusband for Thanksgiving thatyou were automatically obligated
to entertain the rest of her family.It is your right to control yourguest list, not hers.
Dear Abby:My husband and Ihad a beautiful wedding and wereblessed with the presence of manyfamily members and friends. Iam embarrassed to admit that weunfortunately did not send outthank-you cards to our guests.
Three years have passed, andwe still feel guilty for not express-ing our genuine gratitude. We areexpecting our first child in a fewmonths – another milestone wehope to share with our loved ones.Would it be OK to take this as anopportunity to finally thank themand share the news of our family?– Mom-To-Be In California
DearMom-To-Be: It would bein better taste to deliver thesemessages separately – first, yourbelated thank-you for your wed-ding gifts, and then, in a monthor so when they have recoveredfrom the shock, the news of yourpregnancy and PERHAPS an invi-tation to your baby shower, whichshould be sent by whoever will behosting it.

Dear Doctor K:My husband hasheart failure. His doctor often usesthe term “ejection fraction.” Canyou explain what this means?
Dear Reader:Before I explainwhat an ejection fraction is, let’ssay what “heart failure” is, andisn’t. Many of my patients thinkthat heart failure means a heartthat stops pumping completely.But that’s not heart failure; that’ssudden death.
Heart failure can lead to arange of symptoms, from fatigueand shortness of breath to a build-up of fluid in the body. With heartfailure, the heart is still pumping– it’s just not pumping effectivelyenough to completely do the jobthe rest of the body needs it to do.
What is that job? Every cell inthe body needs a constant supplyof nutrition (sugar, fat and oxy-gen) and needs to eliminate waste.In that sense, every cell in ourbody is just like us.
The heart pumps nutrition-richblood out to the body, and as theblood delivers the nutrition, itpicks up the waste. The heart alsopumps blood through the lungs toreceive a fresh supply of oxygen.The heart has four chambers. Twochambers, called the atria, receive
blood. Two larger chambers, theventricles, pump blood out to thelungs and the rest of the body.
That’s how a healthy heartworks. However, disease (partic-ularly high blood pressure andclogged arteries), injury, andyears of wear and tear can taketheir toll. Heart failure is usuallya gradual decline in the heart’sability to pump. Sometimes heartfailure begins suddenly, suchas when someone has a heartattack that kills a part of the heartmuscle.
Whether it begins gradually orsuddenly, in many cases of heartfailure the muscle tissue in theheart’s left ventricle becomes thinand weak. It can’t contract strong-ly enough to send sufficient bloodthroughout the body.
Which brings us to ejectionfraction. A low ejection fraction isa defining characteristic of a com-mon type of heart failure calledsystolic heart failure. An ejectionfraction is a measurement of the
volume of blood pumped out of theleft ventricle each time the heartcontracts, expressed as a percent-age of the total amount of bloodexpelled. (I’ve put an illustrationof ejection fraction on my website,AskDoctorK.com.)
Even a healthy heart doesn’texpel its full contents at everybeat. A normal ejection fractionlies in the range of 55 percent to 65percent.
A doctor can measure ejectionfraction with an echocardiogram.This test uses sound waves to cre-ate a moving picture of the heart.The resulting video can determineejection fraction.
The ability to measure theejection fraction has helpeddoctors more precisely determinethe effectiveness of treatment, andthe best type of treatment. It alsohelped doctors to discover a sec-ond type of heart failure that wenow recognize as another commontype: diastolic heart failure. Butthat’s a topic for another column.

Use the opponents tosave bidding space
BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
Moliere said, “If you suppressgrief too much, it can redouble.”
At the bridge table, suppress-ing knowledge about responder’sredouble can cause grief.
The other day, we learnedthat after the opener bids one ofa suit and the next player makesa takeout double, responder’sredouble promises at least 10high-card points and deniesgood support for partner’s suit.In today’s deal, you will seethat responder redoubles, thensupports his partner’s heart suit.This shows exactly three-cardsupport and game-invitationalvalues, 10-12 support points andeight losers. (With a strongerhand, responder would jump-re-bid three hearts, a game force.)Opener leaps to four hearts.
Note that opener’s sec-ond-round pass was forcing.Either the opening side buys thecontract or the intervening sideplays in something doubled forpenalty. And if South had imme-diately rebid in hearts, it wouldhave shown a minimum (orsubminimum) opening bid. Also,East’s two-diamond advancepromised no strength. He wasjust indicating a preference forthat suit over spades and clubs.
Against four hearts, Westleads the diamond queen. Easttakes dummy’s king with hisace, cashes the diamond 10, thenshifts to a spade. How shouldSouth continue?
West surely has the spadeking for his double. So, Southis threatened with four losers:one spade, one heart and twodiamonds. He should win withhis spade ace, cash the clubking, play a club to dummy’squeen, and discard the spadequeen on the club ace. Then heleads a trump and claims shortlythereafter.
