IN FOCUSA weekly feature by Sandy Bressner, photo editor at the Kane County Chronicle

To say I’m ready for springwould be an understate-ment. Since high school

spring sports have begun, thatmeans it’s eventually going tobe spring, right?

Right?So far this week, I pho-

tographed a chilly baseballpractice at Batavia HighSchool – with player ColbyGreen lobbing balls to fielders

as pictured – and a very frigidvarsity girls soccer matchbetween St. Charles Northand Neuqua Valley on Tuesdayevening.

I can’t wait until I can be

outside for more than a halfhour without donning snowpants and gripping my handwarmers stuffed into mygloves.

ST. CHARLES – A pettingzoo owner charged with ani-mal cruelty and neglect mustpost $30,000 in cash by April4 for the continuing care ofimpounded animals or riskthe forfeiture of all of them, ajudge ruled Thursday.

In court papers filed latelast week, Animal Controlofficials asked for $45,000for expenses they incurredsince impounding 94 sickand starving animals from apetting zoo kept at a farm inHampshire Township earlierthis month.

The filing included an esti-mate for future expenses of 31animals that the owner hadnot given up.

The animals’ owner, Sta-cy Fiebelkorn, sought to pay$9,000.

In her ruling, Kane Coun-ty Associate Judge ElizabethFlood said she would approvethe cost of veterinary careevery other day for the im-pounded animals, but did notsee a basis as to why a vet was

needed everyday.

Flood alsomade it clearthat her rul-ing last weekregarding for-feiture of thepetting zoo an-imals did not

mean the animals were to begiven back to Fiebelkorn. In-stead, Flood said the animalswould continue to be underthe care of Animal Control,and the animals’ future place-ment would be “at the exper-tise ... [and] discretion of Ani-mal Control.”

“I have not ordered the re-

turn of the animals to StacyFiebelkorn,” Flood said.

In an earlier decision lastweek, Flood denied a requestby Kane County Animal Con-trol to forfeit all the animals.Fiebelkorn agreed to give upall the rabbits, poultry andmost of the goats.

Flood had ordered alpacasand llamas to be given up, butdenied the request for the restto be forfeited. Fiebelkorn isfighting to keep ownership oftwo goats and the remaininghorses and donkeys.

The issue of posting addi-tional cash for the animals’continuing care will come upagain April 7 at Kane CountyBranch Court.

The animal cruelty andviolating an owner’s duty toanimals, both misdemeanorcharges against Fiebelkorn,are scheduled to be heardApril 17.

BATAVIA – Organizers ofthe annual Earth Hour eventin Batavia certainly aren’tafraid to turn out the lights. Infact, one hour of darkness isn’tnearly enough for the event.

The Earth Hour celebra-tion will stretch on for morethan two hours – from 7 to 9:30p.m. Saturday at the East SideCommunity Center, 14 N. VanBuren St., Batavia. The eventis sponsored by the BataviaEnvironmental Commission,in cooperation with the Bata-via Park District.

Carolyn Burnham, theevent’s organizer, said thereare more than a dozen activi-ties, including:

• Live music from the groupCity Hall Fred Lite.

• Story time with KarenSchmidt.

• Yoga by Candlelight, fea-turing Kathy Freedlund.

• A drum circle from the

Tau Center’s Lynn Schaferand Theresa Yonikus.

• A look at the stars withthe Fox Valley AstronomicalSociety.

• There will be games foryouths.

“We’ve come up with allkinds of things you can do inthe dark,” Burnham said.

Earth Hour is a movementthat urges people to switchlights off for an hour, start-ing at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, “toraise awareness for the plan-et.” While there are other lo-cal campaigns urging peopleto join the cause, the one inBatavia is distinct with its

full slate of events.“To make it an event, just

to show up someplace, I thinkit needs to be more than anhour,” Burnham said. “Every-body wants to have a little bitmore time.”

Massage therapist MichaelDevo will be among severalwho will be providing shortmassage sessions at the event.He said it is his first timethere, and his wife, photogra-pher Lauri Novak, also will bepart of the event. He said heembraces such opportunitiesto emphasize relaxation andearth-friendly activities.

“I think it’s the wholeEarth Hour tie-in,” he said.

“I’m a massage therapist, andeverything for me is wantingto be natural, keep peopleaway from pain medicationsand surgeries.”

The live music is a new partof the event, with the groupplaying an acoustic set in thelast half-hour.

Burnham said the festiv-ities won’t take place in totaldarkness, but she promises “alow-lit event” that emphasiz-es “things you can do in thedark.”

“You can listen to a story-teller,” she said. “You can doa meditation. You can playgames in the dark. It won’t bepitch dark.”

CAMPTON HILLS – After a

40-year hiatus, Jon Wolfe has

still got it.

Wolfe endured 14-hour

days from March 19 through

March 21 to place in the fi-

nals for the first time at 18th

Annual Illinois State Pocket

Billiard Championships. The

event was held this year at the

Pheasant Run Resort in St.

Charles.

Wolfe, 73, finished third in

the 8-ball Standard division in

a field of more than 200 players

and fifth in the 8-ball Over-55

Seniors division of 48 players.

His prize money totaled $600.

“ O v e r a l l I w a s v e r y

pleased,” Wolfe said. “It felt

really special to do so well.”

Wolfe went four decades

without picking up a pool stick

due to family and work obliga-

tions. He first started playing

growing up as a teenager in

Austin, Minn., and continued

when he served three years

in the U.S. Army stationed in

Germany.

Wolfe finally started play-

ing again in 2004, three years

after he retired as an execu-

tive in the machinery indus-

try. He joined a pool league

at the now-defunct Palace in

Villa Park.

“I was fortunate enough to

play on leagues with a lot of

experienced players,” Wolfe

said.

Wolfe strengthened his

game by watching others play

and later joined a pool league

at the Batavia V.F.W. and also

one at Bikini Bottom Bar and

Grill in West Dundee.

Wolfe competed in the state

billiard championships in 2010

and 2011, but failed to place in

the finals. When the event fi-

nally came to town this year,

he upped his practice time and

gave it another shot.

“I just felt really comfort-

able,” Wolfe said. “The at-

home atmosphere made a big

difference.”

When Wolfe isn’t at one of

his pool leagues, he’s playing

at home on the standard pro-

size pool table that he built

himself in 2009.

The table becomes a gath-

ering place on the holidays

for pool games between Wolfe

and his four adult children, in-

cluding daughter Penny Bantz

of North Aurora.

Bantz said she was hap-

py for her father to compete

at such a high level after all

these years.

“We’re really proud of

him,” she said.

CamptonHills residentJon Wolfetook up bil-liards againafter a 40-year hiatus.He finished inthe top 5 atthe AmericanCueSportsIllinois cham-pionshipsthis pastweekend atPheasant RunResort in St.Charles.

GENEVA – Jillian Phil-lips, a navigator for the Af-fordable Care Act, has beenhelping people sign up everyTuesday since January, host-ed by the Unitarian Univer-salist Society of Geneva.

As the March 31 deadlineto sign up approaches, pro-crastinators are looking toenroll for coverage. The fed-eral government has extend-ed the deadline for peoplewho have started the processto enroll but have not com-pleted it, officials said.

The Affordable Care Act,also called Obamacare, isa federal law reforming theAmerican health care sys-tem. ObamaCare’s main fo-cus is on improving access toaffordable health insurance,improving health care andhealth insurance quality, reg-ulating the health insuranceindustry and reducing whatis spent on health care in theU.S.

Although House Repub-licans this month voted forthe 50th time, 250-160, to rollback President Obama’s sig-nature legislation, Phillipssaid some people she hashelped enroll have cried withrelief that they can now havehealth insurance coverage.

“There have been tears,”Phillips said. “I’d say 95 per-cent of the people are superhappy to get coverage. Theycan finally afford coverage,especially somebody with apre-existing condition.”

Among the pre-existingconditions that insurancecompanies used to deny cov-erage for are cancer, lupusand multiple sclerosis.

“I have to strongly re-assure them to believe it,”Phillips said. “A young lady’sfamily who were self-iden-tified Tea Party [members],who do not like Obama andthey do not like Obamacare

... then they found out theirdaughter could actually geta plan that she could afford.And they were in disbelief.They thought it had to be ascam.”

Phillips, who works as anavigator for a Chicago-basednonprofit organization calledCampaign for Better HealthCare, said she has signed upfive to 10 people each time

she was on duty in Genevabut fielded many more callsthan that.

She paused during her lastsession in Geneva betweenfolks waiting to sign up andphone calls seeking informa-tion to talk about the Afford-able Care Act.

“This area is not neces-sarily a high-need area, butpeople are still here needinghelp, and my phone is ring-ing,” Phillips said. “Peoplecall with questions ... orthey’re stuck on something.I’m just pointing people inthe right direction.”

Mental health and addic-tion services are required tobe covered through the Af-fordable Care Act, Phillipssaid, something many peo-ple she helped enroll werethrilled about.

“I heard a lot: ‘You justlifted a huge weight off myshoulders,’ ” Phillips said.

Other information Phil-lips imparts is to steer peopleto Medicaid for coverage.

A single adult with nochildren who earns less than$16,000 a year, or a childlesscouple earning less than$20,000 a year, are now eli-gible for Medicaid, a federalhealth care program for fami-lies and individuals with lowincome and resources.

There is no deadline toenroll in Medicaid, she said.Those who are eligible forMedicaid are not eligible forfinancial help for a privateplan in the health care mar-ketplace, she said.

“I’m seeing a lot of ... peo-ple transitioning betweenjobs, and they have peace

of mind right now that theyhave coverage,” Phillips said.

People who are signed upor have insurance can stillneed the services of a nav-igator, Phillips said, if theyhave a “qualifying life event”such as losing their employ-er-based insurance becauseof job loss, or having a baby.

“Moving forward, a lot ofpeople are having insurancefor the first time, and theyare really needing to learnhow to use it,” Phillips said.“There is a role for a naviga-tor to help them understandhow it works.”

A person who did notenroll or is not eligible forMedicaid is locked out untilthe next enrollment session,which is Nov. 15 for the 2015plan year, she said.

If you don’t get insurancenow, you can’t wait until youbecome ill to try and get it,Phillips said. The mandaterequires insurance coverageto be fair to providers andthose who bought insurance.

“What we have now is asystem where insurance com-panies can no longer denyyou coverage or charge youmore for that coverage be-cause of your health status,”Phillips said. “On the flipside, we also can’t let peopleget insurance any time of theyear ... because then the mar-ket doesn’t work.”


Jillian Phillips of the Campaign for Better Health Care helps Patrick Ryan enroll in a healthcare programduring a session Tuesday at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva. The deadline to enroll in theAffordable Care Act is Monday.

ST. CHARLES – A restau-rant on the city’s east sidehas turned its focus primari-ly to meat.

N o r t h A v e n u e C h a r -house, 3755 E. Main St. in St.Charles, offers a variety ofcuts, as well as seafood, sand-wiches and more.

Among the most popularfare are the filet mignon,Mediterranean-style salmonand New York steak with lob-ster or other seafood.

“You can pretty muchfind anything you need onour menu,” said Chris Lam-bropoulos, the restaurant’smanager. “We don’t leaveanybody behind.”

After a brief stint as Lima-ni Port of Greece Restaurant,the Lambropoulos family re-opened as a charhouse theday after Thanksgiving 2013.The theme was changed be-cause there doesn’t seem tobe many restaurants in thearea that concentrate primar-ily on meat, Lambropoulos

said.Lambropoulos is hope-

ful that residents will re-turn more frequently to therestaurant because of the di-verse amount of meats on themenu.

One day someone can havesteak, and the next day just aburger, he said.

Prime rib is served on Fri-days and Saturdays, and themenu also includes pasta, ka-bobs, salads, soups and a fullbar.

The restaurant will havesome exterior renovationslater this year, but the in-side has remained mostly thesame with dark cherry woodtables and flooring.

“It’s a beautiful building,”Lambropoulos said.

BATAVIA – Lisa Hatfieldsaid she was feeling prettygood about being part of theBatavia School District 101music program when she de-cided to move forward withan application to earn somenational recognition.

Hatfield, the fifth-gradeband director for the district,said she had received somegood emails from parentsand had positive experienc-es throughout that day. Shesaid she thought about thedepth of the district program,which includes thousands ofstudents in all aspects of mu-sic, and when she read a notefrom the NAMM Foundationseeking program entries fora “Best Communities for Mu-

sic Education” designation,she believed it truly applied.NAMM stands for NationalAssociation of Music Mer-chants.

“I thought, ‘We totally de-serve this,’ ” she said. “Wework so well together.”

District 101 is one of eightschool districts in Illinois toearn the “Best Communitiesfor Music Education” designa-tion, which Hatfield said wasexciting. She said it was thefirst such designation in Bat-avia. Hatfield said the paper-work for the designation in-cluded a 20-page application,which sought informationabout funding, graduation re-quirements, music class par-ticipation, instruction time,facilities, support for the mu-sic program and communitymusic-making programs.

She said the process mea-sured the program “from gen-eral music in kindergartenthrough the most advancedensemble in high school.”That includes bands, orches-tras and choral groups. Shesaid 65 percent of the district’s

students have some involve-ment in music. She also cred-ited help from the BataviaMusic Buffs.

“We’re so supported,” Hat-field said. “This recognitionis saying thank you to theparents who drive their kidsto every concert and rehears-al. … It’s such a good feeling.This is a special thing.”

She described the mu-sic programs as popular.On Thursday, for instance,she was at a fourth-grade re-cruitment concert put on bythe middle school band. Asthe fifth-grade band director,Hatfield goes from school toschool to provide instruction,and she said her group aloneincludes 150 students. Shesaid fourth-graders were ex-cited to see the middle schoolband perform, and she said

it’s impressive that so manyof them were eager for the op-portunity to join band or theorchestra in the fall.

She said she takes none ofit for granted, even just hav-ing a program. And she saidmusic can be one of the moretime-intensive activities.

“You have to work at it,”she said.

A news release from thedistrict thanked music educa-tors in the district, includingHatfield, Maura Brown, RobBuckley, Ben Collins, RitaFeuerborn, Kate Hillman,Mary Jensen, Katie McCann,Chris Owen, Keith Ozsvath,Rachel Pettee, Sherry Reiss,Laura Rexilius, RoxanneSemonchik, Anna Teliszczak,Mona Terpstra, Jamie Van-mersbergen, Christina Virgil-io and Walt Zimmer.

Obama, Pope Francis share concerns on global economyBy SCOTT WILSONThe Washington Post

ROME – President BarackObama joined Pope Francison Thursday at the Vatican, ameeting of two world figureswith radically different politicsbut a shared concern that theglobal economy is dangerouslydividing rich and poor.

The visit, watched closelyby an avid media and curiousRomans who hung from balco-nies to see Obama’s motorcadepass, is the most symbolic stopof the president’s Europeantrip.

The two greeted each oth-er Thursday morning outsidethe Papal Library in the SmallThrone Room, extending handsand smiles.

“Wonderful meeting you,I’m a great admirer,” Obamasaid. “Thank you sir, thankyou.”

The men withdrew into thePapal Library and took seats onthe opposite sides of the pope’sdesk. “Thank you,” Obamasaid, “for receiving me.”

The meeting lasted less than

an hour. But the encounter hasbeen charged with the politicsof the world’s most powerfulnation and one of its most in-fluential religious movements,and by a pair of men who havesought to change the publiccharacter of the institutionsthey run.

Obama said “the bulk of thetime was spent discussing twocentral concerns” – the plightof “the poor, the marginalizedand growing inequality,” andthe challenge of war in theworld today. He said the talkunderscored that while politi-cal leaders must find solutions,it is the power of Pope Francisto focus public attention on theimportance of resolving theseissues.

“We spent a lot of timetalking about the challenges ofconflict and how elusive peaceis around the world,” he said,particularly the Israeli-Pales-tinian negotiations, an issue ofparticular interest to the pope,who is scheduled to visit the re-gion later this spring, and theunrest in Syria, Lebanon, andthe persecution of Christians.

“The theme that stitchedour conversation together wasa belief that, in politics and inlife, the quality of empathy, theability to stand in somebodyelse’s shoes and to care forsomeone who even if they don’tlook like you or talk like you orshare your philosophy – that’scritical,” Obama said. “It’s thelack of empathy that plunges usinto wars.”

Obama said he urged PopeFrancis to visit the UnitedStates, saying the countrywould receive him enthusias-tically.

On U.S. domestic issues,Obama acknowledged thatPope Francis, born in Argen-tina, underscored the urgentneed for immigration reformin the United States. Obamasaid that the pope, as someonefrom Latin America, is partic-ularly mindful of the plight ofimmigrants and the tragedy offamily separations.

“I described to him how Ithought there was an opportu-nity to make this right and getsomething passed,” on immi-gration reform, Obama said.

In a statement, the Vaticancalled the meeting “cordial”and said “views were ex-changed on some current in-ternational themes and it washoped that, in areas of conflict,there would be respect for hu-manitarian and internationallaw and a negotiated solutionbetween the parties involved,”a possible reference to the cri-sis in Ukraine.

The statement also said theleaders discussed “questionsof particular relevance” to theCatholic church in the U.S.,“such as the exercise of therights to religious freedom, lifeand conscientious objection, aswell as the issue of immigra-tion reform.”

Those issues are most rel-evant to Obama’s health carelaw and over Vatican demandsthat the United States cease de-portations that separate fami-lies pending the passage of im-migration legislation.

Obama, who while notCatholic has religious roots inthe social gospel embraced bythis first non-European pope,is pushing at home for a high-

er minimum wage, educationspending to increase econom-ic opportunity, and changes inthe tax code that would drawmore money from the wealthy.

His political popularity,though, is wobbling. An AP-GfK poll this week showed that59 percent of respondents dis-approve of the way he is han-dling his job, among the high-est of his presidency.

“He is going mostly to baskin the glow of the new pope,”said Jeremy Shapiro, a visitingfellow at the Brookings Insti-tution and a former adviseron Europe in the State Depart-ment earlier in Obama’s ten-ure.

“This isn’t really a foreignpolicy stop – so in that senseit’s very important to the presi-dent,” Shapiro said.

Obama came to office prom-ising to change the world’s per-ception of the United States,emphasizing alliances overunilateral action, diplomacyover military measures, and a“new beginning” with Islam af-ter years of war in Afghanistanand Iraq.

Adolescence also offersdreams, discoveries, ques-tions and awe.

Poetry says it all. Recently,I had the opportunity to readand hear poems written bymy junior classes at Marmi-on Academy, a young men’sCatholic college preparatoryschool in Aurora. BecauseApril is National PoetryMonth, and because theirverses deserve a larger audi-ence, I offer these selections:

“Important”We all know that one

person who sits away fromeveryone else, / Dreadingthe touch of someone whocares. / They form their ownimpregnable fortress, / They

think that they don’t needhelp, but they do, / Just asmuch as those who don’t havea bed to sleep in tonight. –Patrick Baker, Batavia

“Items”Heck we have the newest

pad pod and phone / Whilecountless men and womenare left alone / But hey Ihave the new 2014 Cadillac /And my friend’s new watchpredicts his heart attack /Who cares about the impover-ished, those all alone / All thepeople searching for a home/ We are too busy findingsomething new to adore /Materials Materials theyconsume our life / They leaveus wanting more and moreno end to this strife. – AlexJuriga, Yorkville

“Break the Cycle”Keep pushing as hard

as you possibly can / Andeventually, when you’re de-railed like a train, / Discon-nect the brakes. / Stop fornothing / Because quittersdon’t get / The fancy cars,the massive four-story,eight-bedroom, fourth-bath,/ Two-swimming pool,Venetian marble flooringbeachfront mansion / Witha fifteen-car garage to storeyour Porsches in. / Afterall, success is measured bywhat we have. – Alex Van-denberg, Sugar Grove

“My Future”Yeah I want to go to col-

lege. I want to be the next bigthing. / Don’t we all strive

for something in our lives? /Love peace happiness, whynot take it all. / Grasp it,breathe it, live it and learnit. / But what’s this awk-ward awakening of whichwe may not want? / We slamthat snooze just to sleep a bitmore. – Eli Grabowski, St.Charles

“We Are”We are a new generation

we live with technology / Tocontrol our house our carour job / But our lives arenot determined by updatesto software. / We can go outon a summer day and smellsweet lavender. / We can feelthe cold steel of the EmpireState. / We can hear birdschirp and swoop / And wecan taste Bisquick easy-makepancakes. / We can see paint-ings of Picasso and Monetand Raphael. / Our lives are

more than the next editiongold-plated turbo-charged iP-hone 10 / Because we are notrobots controlled by technol-ogy. / We are human. – DanGarza, Aurora

These lines suggest notonly this new generation’sdoubts, concerns and trials,but also their many thought-ful, creative and spiritualgifts. Thank you, poets, forsharing them.

ANOTHER VIEW

Tie coaches’ pay to student-athlete academicsBLOOMBERG NEWS

At many American

colleges and universities,

the relationship between ath-

letics and academics needs

to be rebalanced. Over the

weekend, as fans were watch-

ing their March Madness

brackets explode, Secretary

of Education Arne Duncan

again offered a modest but

useful proposal toward that

end – align compensation

for coaches and athletic

directors with their teams’

academic performance.

Some coaches place an

emphasis on academics.

Many don’t. During the 16

years that Bob Huggins spent

as head basketball coach at

the University of Cincinnati,

only 28 percent of his players

graduated. A recent NCAA

report found that in more

than 40 Division 1 basketball

programs, 50 percent of the

players failed to graduate.

Under rules adopted by

the NCAA in 2011, schools

that fall below the 50 percent

mark can lose scholarships,

practice time and postseason

eligibility – all highly im-

portant to coaches and their

employers. The rules have

led to small improvements in

overall graduation rates.

But if we expect coaches

to make academics a priori-

ty, that expectation should be

reflected in their contracts.

The NCAA could require

that any bonuses for athlet-

ic achievements – such as

winning a conference title or

reaching postseason play –

be contingent on, or weight-

ed equally with, academic

achievement. The NCAA

could also require schools

to make a percentage of a

coach’s salary contingent on

achieving a minimum gradu-

ation threshold.

Schools with histories of

athletes performing at high

levels inside and outside

of the classroom – such as

Duke, Notre Dame and Stan-

ford – should not wait for the

NCAA to act. They should be-

gin incorporating academic

performance into all athletic

department contracts now.

Editorial board Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting

the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or

‘I’ll still be a Vikings fan’

By KEVIN [email protected]

Many old acquaintanc-es tracked NancyLindenmuth down

this week, shuttling througha Geneva athletics office fromwhich she retired Thursday.

Naturally, the experienceprompted Lindenmuth totraipse through the past inkind, although one thoughtpredated her 15 years as theschool’s athletics secretary.

“My mother always toldme that it was best to leavea party when the guests stillwanted you to stay,” Linden-muth said. “So I’m kind ofhoping that’s the case here asI depart.”

No need to worry. Pollthose who have workedalongside her, and theyanswer affirmatively in aboutthe time it takes Lindenmuthto scan a registration formand smile.

Lindenmuth entered thefall thinking 2013-14 might beher final year after 22 yearsoverall in District 304, but itwasn’t until Geneva’s holidaybreak that she and husbandMike crunched some dataand determined an earlierretirement would be morebeneficial.

Lindenmuth plans to helpease the transition of her yet-to-be-named successor as theschool year winds down andwork a handful of events.

Geneva athletic directorJim Kafer, Lindenmuth’scolleague since 1999 to 2000,doesn’t foresee any futurecommunication breakdowns.Still, he can’t help but feel thevoid from losing a workingrelationship in which “eachof us knows what the otherwould do and what needs tobe done.”

“Her strength is she’s goodwith all people and she has todeal with so many differentinterest groups in this office,”Kafer said. “They’re all gen-erally friendly, but every-body can become a little bitcontentious when they wantto make sure their interestsare looked after.”

Lindenmuth shifted overfrom the dean’s office whenthe athletics secretary roleexpanded to include year-round work.

She assures her summershave been equally busy asthe school year, with 1,500 to1,700 campers occupying Ge-neva’s gym and athletic fieldsat various points.

Geneva’s athletic pop-ulation has grown in tan-dem with its student bodythrough the years, creatingextra coaches, registration,physicals, busing and more.Lindenmuth happily hasdone her part to help manageit all while adapting with thetimes.

A member of a fourth-gen-eration farming family inHiawatha, Kan., Lindenmuthadmits she “wouldn’t haveeven known what a web pagewas when I started this job 15years ago.”

She did know she neededto learn as the office culturegrew more Internet-based, so,like the Vikings she supports,Lindenmuth reacted.

“About the best compli-ment you can give an athleteis he’s a problem solver. Hesolves problems for you,” said

Geneva football coach and

boys basketball assistant Rob

Wicinski, who started at the

school in 1998. “Nancy is all

that and more.

“She’s the face of the ath-

letic department.”

Lindenmuth was on

hand for her own children’s

Vikings careers earlier in her

tenure. Both Scott (Class of

2000) and Katy (2002) current-

ly live in Lincoln Park. Katy,

a former soccer standout,

earned induction into the

GHS Athletics Hall of Fame

in 2012.

They remain a focal point

behind their mother’s dailyapproach.

“I have always tried to liveby the rule that I would liketo treat students that comeinto my office with the samerespect that I would have ex-pected people to treat my kidswith,” Lindenmuth said. “SoI’ve always tried to live bythat and remember that we’rehere for kids.”

Along with seeing more ofher grandchildren, Linden-muth seeks to reacquaint her-self with activities that canoften elude those with busyworking lives. Being moreinvolved with past philan-thropy groups, hopping intosome exercise classes andputting around in her gardenare near the top of the list.

Remaining part of theGeneva athletic communitygoes without saying. Don’t besurprised when Lindenmuthturns up to watch or work atfuture events.

She may be leaving theparty, but she’s not swearingthem off for good.

“It’s been a great run here.I’m going to miss everybody,and I won’t be a stranger,”Lindenmuth said. “I’ll still bea Vikings fan, for sure.”

Retiring Geneva secretary Lindenmuth leaves with a grin

Too many memories

Retiring Geneva athletics secre-tary Nancy Lindenmuth is certainlyone for reminiscing, but she stillfound it challenging to pinpoint justa few favorite moments from 15years in Vikings sports.“Gosh, I would probably miss

someone if I tried to mention themall,” Lindenmuth said. “But, youknow, I’m a pretty big fan of all theteams and all the athletes here, andI like winning, so it’s been great tobe a part of all the successes.”


Geneva High School athletics secretary Nancy Lindenmuth retired Thursday.

Marmion junior AndrewKasper presides over theschool’s environmentally con-scious Green Club and takespart in its Art AppreciationClub among his non-athleticextracurricular acitivities.

“Other than that, I reallykind of dedicate my life toswimming because you can’treally do two sports when oneof them is swimming,” Kaspersaid.

Kasper re-learned thatlesson once more earlier thisweek, arriving at his fami-ly’s Batavia home in the weehours of Monday after someairline delays. He and othermembers of the Aurora-basedAcademy Bullets team werereturning from the NationalClub Swimming Associationchampionships in Orlando,Fla.

Air travel won’t stray farfrom Kasper’s radar in thenext few months. He’s set tocompete with a contingent

of Bullets athletes at a grandprix event in Arizona nextmonth, and is training toqualify for the NCSA long-form nationals in Indianapo-lis in August.

By then, Kasper also hopesto be progressing in the re-cruiting process. Ideally, he’dlike to swim at a small schoolin southern California.

“Those big environmentsdon’t really seem like the at-mosphere I would want to bein for four years,” he said.

Kasper helped Marmionto an 11th-place finish at theIHSA state meet in Evanstonearlier this month, earningmedals as part of the 400-yard freestyle relay that tookfourth and the 200 medley

relay that was ninth.Raised in Naperville, Kasper

relocated to the Chicago area inOctober 2012 after his mother, asales executive at The Hartford,was promoted from her posi-tion in Connecticut.

Swimming has offered aconstant through it all, andeven helps Kasper make a fewbucks. He lifeguards at hissubdivision pool in Batavia’sTanglewood Hills during thesummer.

Experienced LaPorte eyesWVU: It’s beenslightly morethan a yearsince Genevasenior KellyLaPorte visitedWest Virginiaas a prospec-tive women’ssoccer recruit.She wasted little time in com-mitting to the Mountaineersbecause she had finally founda school that met her criteria.

“I looked around, but I wasreally picky with colleges,”said LaPorte, a midfielder. “Iwanted it to be pretty, I didn’twant it close to home, I want-ed a good women’s soccerprogram. And West Virginiaoffered me all of that.”

LaPorte, whose sister,Jessica, plays at Division IIILoras College in Iowa, hasstarred for Strikers Fox Val-ley for several years. She hasnot competed for the Vikings,but remains close with severalcollege-bound Strikers playinghigh school ball this spring.

She certainly doesn’tshy away from a challenge.LaPorte is the only girl toplay and start for the Strikers’boys team in her age group.

“It helped me a lot,” shesaid. “Mentally, physically. Itwas a great experience.”

Glad to be here: SeniorsJack Bujko and Nick Cookhelped steer the St. CharlesNorth boys volleyball team

to a season-opening victoryagainst Leyden on Wednes-day.

Coach Todd Weimer’smost experienced returnersfrom last season’s senior-lad-en third-place team almostweren’t a duo.

Cook, a libero and setter,guided Bujko, a middle andright-side hitter, into thesport on the eve of their fresh-men tryouts.

“We’ve known each othersince middle school. We’vebeen friends,” Bujko said. “Inever really played volleyballuntil freshman year. ... He waslike, ‘Hey, come out for theteam.’ I was a little skeptical,but then I just went out for it,you know.”

ST. CHARLES – The St.Charles North boys waterpolo team prides itself on itstough defense, but its offensewas highlighted Thursdaynight in a match with St.Charles East.

The host North Starsthumped the Saints, 15-2.

Senior Nick Traxler ledNorth’s scoring with sixgoals, with three of them inthe second half. TeammateJohn Pretet totaled fourgoals, all in the first half.

“We usually let our de-fense do the talking,” Trax-ler said. “We did some workon offense this week in prac-tice, and it showed today.”

“We had opportunities[on offense] and we were ableto take advantage of them.That’s been encouraging,”said North coach Chris Cloy.“It was a total team effort.The offense starts with Johnin the hole, but is no meansbased around him. We havea lot of players on the perim-eter who can score and todayyou saw that.”

Traxler put the first pointon the scoreboard, gettingthe ball past East goalie Pe-ter Roach at the 4:50 markof the first quarter. Pretetscored his first goal onNorth’s next possession. Thejunior scored his second goalto give the North Stars (7-3-1)a 4-0 lead after the first pe-riod.

F o u r N o r t h p l a y e r sscored five goals in the sec-ond quarter to give the teama 9-1 lead at halftime. RossDavis (three goals), NathanBawolek (two) and ChrisStanek (one) rounded out thescoring.

T y l e r V a n G y s e g h e mscored the only first-half goalfor the Saints (2-5) three min-utes into the second quarter.

The North Stars scoredthree goals in both the thirdand fourth quarters. Davisopened the third quarterscoring. Traxler added two inthe period. The senior scoredone goal in the fourth quar-ter sandwiched between twoscores by Nathan Bawolek.

S c o t t R o g m a n s c o r e dEast’s second goal earlyin the third quarter, when

North Star goalie CollinBawolek (six saves) could nothold onto Rogman’s throw.

“It was tough for us;they were setting the holeall the time and I was try-

ing to get my kids to doubleteam them,” said first yearEast coach Tim O’Grady. “Ithought we were doing thatpretty well toward the end ofthe game.”

Cloy was also impressedwith his team’s defense.

“To me, giving up the twogoals was the best part of thegame,” Cloy said. “We onlygave up one goal in the firsthalf. I think we only allowedthree shots in the first half. Itwas great to see the defensework.”

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

MOORE CHANGES

By STEVE [email protected]

DeKALB – JimmieWard patrolled theNorthern Illinois

defensive backfield the past

three seasons, starting 39 of

NIU’s 42 games.

Ward’s days competing

for NIU football are over, as

he’s busy preparing to be se-

lected in the first few rounds

of the NFL Draft in May.

Last year’s other starter

at safety, senior Dechane

Durante, is currently sitting

out with a knee injury.

Enter Marlon Moore, a

junior who has started 15

games at cornerback during

the past two seasons, defend-

ing 15 passes and picking off

three in that time.

This spring, Moore has

been moved over to safety,

taking reps with the first

team. Moore did play some

safety in high school, and

he’s using the spring to

make the necessary ad-

justments for his position

switch.

“Just having my eyes in

the right spot at all times,

reading the whole field,”

Moore said after the Hus-

kies’ practice Thursday at

the Chessick Center. “Be-

cause at corner you just go

off what the safety says, they

give us the calls and things.

At safety I’m giving the calls,

I’ve got to be more loud, be

more of a leader also, and

just make plays.”

To the coaching staff,

Moore was a perfect fit to

move back a few yards to the

safety spot.

“There are several rea-

sons for it. One, he’s a really

good tackler and he was a

good run support guy in high

school, we knew that,” NIU

defensive coordinator Jay

Niemann said. “He started

off here as a corner because

with Jimmie Ward in there

and Dechane in there, we

just felt like his opportunity

to contribute was more so at

corner to start with.

“Now that Jimmie’s

moved on and Dechane’s

on the shelf right now, it

seemed like a good opportu-

nity to get him in there, get

him some reps and give him

a whirl back there. So he’s

done a great job, he’s off to a

great start. I like what he’s

doing back there.”

At the other safety spot,

NIU has been rotating

sophomore Mycial Allen and

redshirt freshmen Jack-

son Abresch and Brandon

Mayes, an Aurora Christian

graduate.

As for Moore’s future

into fall camp and the 2014

season, he is versatile being

able to play at the safety,

cornerback and nickelback

spots.

So far, the experiment at

safety is going well and there

may not be much need for an-

other switch.

“I don’t expect a change,

necessarily,” Niemann said.

“I wouldn’t say we’re chis-

eled in stone on it, but if

things keep going the way

they are, I don’t necessarily

know that we would want

to change because it’s going

pretty well as it is right now.”

Junior cornerback moves to safety

GIRLS WATER POLO: ST. CHARLES NORTH 17, ST. CHARLES EAST 11

North Stars correct early funk, cruise past SaintsBy VINNIE DUBER

[email protected]

ST. CHARLES – The St.Charles North girls waterpolo team didn’t start Thurs-day’s game the way it want-ed to, and according to headcoach Nick Engel, his teamknew it.

So perhaps it wasn’t muchof a surprise when the NorthStars corrected their earlygame falters and dominated thesecond half on the road, pullingout a 17-11 win against cross-town rival St. Charles East.

“They came out a littledown, not quite ready for thegame,” Engel said after theNorth Stars’ 11th win of the

season. “East came out andplayed a great first half. Theydid a good job, they playedsome good offense and theymade us look bad on offense.But the only way we’re goingto be successful is if we playgood defense, which will leadto our offense.”

North trailed, 3-2, after thefirst quarter, and after thegame was tied in the first min-ute of the second, East contin-ued its strong start with threestraight goals. It was thenwhere things turned aroundfor North, which scored fourunanswered goals to close thehalf with a 7-6 lead. The NorthStars took over in the thirdquarter, outscoring East, 5-2,

in the period.“We just played a little

better defense,” Engel said.“That’s really what our team’sgoing to do. If you can play de-fense, it makes your offense alot easier.”

North got a strong perfor-mance out of Nicole Guyett,

who finished with five goals,including three in the deci-sive third-quarter scoringbarrage. Guyett made gooduse of a powerful behind-the-back scoop shot that account-ed for several of her scores.

“Nicole played well,” Engelsaid. “They did a great job de-fending her. … She got whatshe needed to get. She can doa little better, but she had agreat game.”

Guyett wasn’t the onlyplayer wearing No. 2 to putup big numbers in the poolThursday. East’s No. 2, Alex-andra Kos, scored eight goalsfor the Saints, including allthree in the opening quarter,spurring the team’s strong

start.That included a high-

light-reel buzzer-beater fromhalf the length of the pool toend the first quarter.

If North’s start was un-desirable, East’s was excel-lent. The Saints, just 3-6 afterThursday’s game, were verypleased with how things be-gan against the rival NorthStars.

“It was a great start,” Easthead coach Tori Shields said.“We started off strong. If wekept that strong throughoutthe entire game, I think itwould have been a differentstory. A couple things we’regoing to work on, hopefullycome back stronger.”

Loss inspires look into relationshipsThe recent passing of dear

Virginia Marck prompted me tothink about relationships.

It seems that friends areacquired on the way throughlife. Some are durable and lastthrough a lifetime.

My high school comrades,some of whom I met at ShelbySchool in first grade, still meetmonthly for breakfast.

Sometimes we maintainrelationships with former neigh-bors, add on the circle of thespouse (not all keepers), attachto randomly-selected room-mates, connect with regulars atthe same event (Badger buddiesin the handicap seats at CampRandall), and the folks at storesand restaurants who are friend-ly and spirited and caring,

such as Annie at the drugstoresand Ted at Corfu.

To me, there is a highly de-sirable category: Being invitedinto the circle of a special kindof person.

Virginia Marck was a specialperson. We met Ray and Virgin-ia at church and always admiredtheir visible affection for eachother. They would enter, holdinghands like sweethearts, andspread the sunshine of theirrelationship and their cheerfuloutlook.

Virginia was clear about her

values yet was open to the ideasand experiences of others. Shecould make waves if necessarybut excelled at calming the wa-ters. She had bountiful interests,such as books and flowers, thatamplified her associations withher work at a flower shop andher leadership at the publiclibrary.

Both Virginia and Rayappeared to glide in the serenityof their advanced age yet werealways alert for new ideas andrelationships.

It might have begun withRay chatting about Badge sportsresults. Mostly it was special asshe reached out her hand andher heart with first a compli-ment about something I hadwritten, then catching upon fam-

ily news, and soon, friendship. Ihope she knew how I treasuredthe gift of being included in thecircle of a special person. Wewill miss her too, Ray.

There are several thingson my bucket list. Things liketravel or parachuting are on theshelf due to physical limitations,so many of the items are prettysilly.

I hope to someday live on astreet that is not a boring num-ber. Mark me on 10th Avenue,Second Street and Ninth Street.Main Street both in Charleytown and Urbana. Ho hum. Itwas much cooler to be on Lang-don, Pearson, Marine Drive oreven the unbalanced Meineckein Wauwatosa.

Sure, the numbered streets

are useful for UPS and schoolboundaries but couldn’t weperhaps get some at least honor-ary alternatives? Ernie BanksParkway? Mother of All WintersDrive? Twinkies Avenue? ZavitzPlace (pronounced zay-vitz notzah-vitz)? Raccoon Boulevard?Easy Street?

Think robins, tulips, Eastereggs, green grass, and even Aprilshowers!

Gotta be just around thecorner.

College to celebrate National PoetryMonth

Competition is fierce inthe family, five-passenger,four-door, front-wheel-drive,economy midsize sedan market.Sellers in that market includethe Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima,Honda Accord, Kia Optima,Hyundai Sonata, VolkswagenPassat and Mazda6. The list getslonger with the Dodge Avenger,Chrysler 200, Buick Regal andSubaru Legacy.

Such is the competitionfacing Chevrolet’s Malibu. Toits credit, the Malibu can holdits own. For 2014 the engine ismore economical (than priormodels), a front is designed forsport appeal and seat room ismore expansive. These improve-ments were not accidental.

Malibu marketing directorJon Hahn credits ears thatlisten. He said his company actsimmediately on suggestions byChevrolet customers.

“Let’s take the Malibu as anexample. Some of the buyersof the 2013 Malibu told us thatthere was not enough kneeroom in front, nor head roomin the rear seat. Normally, ittakes the industry two to threeyears to make model chang-es. We reacted quickly to thecomplaints and changes weremade in the next model year,which is the 2014 Malibu,” hesaid recently.

A revised interior increasesthe feeling of spaciousness anddoes add several inches to kneeroom front and rear.

An aerodynamic front re-tains the bowtie icon betweenthe top two of the three grilleswith fog lights at the corners.Halogen headlamps sweep fromfront to side at the top corners.The front of the Malibu is wid-er this year. The wider frontmimics the look, companypublicists claim, of Chevy’s Ca-maro. Do not believe it. Widerfront, perhaps, but nothing likethe flared fenders and ridgedhood of the Camaro.

This year, all Malibu modelscarry the Eco appellation,which indicates fuel economy.For 2014, the powerplants get

stop-start technology which,the manufacturer claims,can increase fuel economyby 14 percent in the city and6 percent in the city for the2.5-liter four-cylinder engine.Malibu also offers a 2-liter

Test drive reveals Malibu 1LTZ is a comfortable, responsive vehicle

In long lines of stop-and-gotraffic, this is a useful systemas, when the car stops theengine shuts off and then whenthe gas pedal is pressed forforward movement, the enginekicks in again. Competitorsalso have this feature but inthe Malibu it is seamless andnot even noticed.

During the test week, the1LTZ was quiet, responsiveand comfortable. Power frontseats could be adjusted toeasily accommodate the legsof a 6-foot, 6-inch-tall basket-ball player. Rear leg room iscompromised, of course, if afront seat is powered back.Rear passengers have accessto a pulldown armrest, whichalso serves as a cupholder. Thesplit rear seats can be foldedto open up expanded cargopossibilities with the 16.3-cubicfoot trunk. That flat, carpeted,lighted and rectangular trunkis one of the larger in the mid-sized sedan market.

The 1LTZ model rides on18-inch P235 tires mounted onaluminum wheels with fivetwin spokes. Dual stainlesssteel exhaust tips are at therear. Brakes are discs and thesuspension system includesinternal rebound springs forthe front struts. In the rear isa four-link suspension system.The combination works well,as rides during the test weekwere comfortable and therewere no unnecessary jolts orpitches when quickly stoppingthe car. “Rebound springs arethe poor man’s version of mag-netic ride control [electronic

response in nano seconds toroad conditions],” Hahn said.In the rear there is a four-linksystem.

The 2014 Malibu has twobatteries at work. The oneunder the front hood starts thecar. A 12-volt battery tuckedinto a corner of the trunkmaintains the accessories.

Power features besidesexternal heated mirrors,door locks, remote entry andfront heated seats, includedwindows with all four expressdown and the driver’s alsoexpress up. Seating surfacesand trim elements are leatherin the 1LTZ. The six-speakerMyLink sound system includ-ed manual controls for soundand station tuning. Nicetiesincluded air conditioningwith filtration, cruise control,two 12-volt power outletsand beverage holders. Onthe front center console thecupholders are staggered andnot paired. This switch fromthe norm means driver andfront seat passenger do notbump hands while reachingfor a beverage.

Safety includes 10 airbags(front, sides, overhead,knees), traction and stabil-ity controls, a four-wheelantilock braking system,headrests and seatbelts withpretensioners in front, childrear door and window locks,anchors and tethers forchild seats, daytime runninglamps and a tire pressuremonitoring system. A tem-porary spare tire is storedunder the trunk floor.

Malibu’s future couldinclude a feature which willbe offered on the Impalathis summer and that is

a dual fuel system. In thefuture, a Malibu could runon compressed natural gasas well as regular unleadedgasoline. The driver couldswitch from natural gas tounleaded regular at anytime. With a CNG as well asa gasoline tank on board,

trunk space would be com-prised in that future Malibu.Instead of 16.7 cubic feet oftrunk space, there would be10 cubic feet.

Warranty coverage isthree years or 36,000 miles,five years or 100,000 milespowertrain and 24-hour

roadside assistance, and freescheduled maintenance fortwo years or 24,000 miles.

Besides Kansas City, Ka.,the 2014 Malibu is assembledat a plant in Hamtramck,Mich.

HOROSCOPE

‘BigMen’ tells a riveting storyBy STEPHANIE MERRYThe Washington Post

Documentarian Rachel Boyntonmust have some serious powers ofpersuasion. Not only did she get re-markable access to the employees andboardrooms of an oil company on thecusp of a massive discovery, but shealso interviewed masked, armed ban-dits in Nigeria, corrupt governmentofficials in Africa and dealmakers atthe Blackstone Group investment firm.

But Boynton’s most impressivefeat in “Big Men” is how she takes animpossibly convoluted scenario, makessense of it and tells a story that’s rivet-ing on its own but also serves as a par-able about greed and human nature.

If “Big Men” were a fictional movie,it would be something akin to “Syri-ana,” with characters from all cornersof society demonstrating how a big oildiscovery affects their lives. The mostprominent player is Jim Musselman,the founding partner and chief execu-tive of fledgling Kosmos Energy. Hiscompany, with the help of Blackstoneand other investors, has taken a hugerisk betting on oil fields off the coast

of Ghana when the movie opens in2007. With big risks come the potentialfor big rewards. As the pioneeringexploratory company, Kosmos secureda sweet deal from Ghana’s government(and its state-run oil company) shouldthe Jubilee oil field pan out.

Jubilee turns out to be a trove ofblack gold, which is good news and badnews for Kosmos. Once a new presi-dent takes over in Ghana, the favorabledeal the company had struck with theprevious administration isn’t quite soiron-clad as it seemed. It’s Ghana’s oil,president John Atta Mills reasons, andthe people of Ghana should be the onesto prosper from the discovery. Mean-while, the Department of Justice startsasking Kosmos some pointed questionsabout bribery, which Musselman, anaffable Texan, greets incredulously.Welcome to the big leagues.

To give some additional context towhat’s at stake, Boynton travels to Ni-geria, another African country blessedand cursed with oil resources. Thediscovery, initially made in the 1950s,has been a boon for corrupt politicians,who have embezzled hundreds of mil-lions of dollars. But much of the restof the country has remained in stark

poverty. Groups of desperados haveresponded to the injustice by eithersabotaging oil production or drainingpipelines and selling the oil on a thriv-ing black market.

Wrangling so many stories and allof the necessary information into onedocumentary is an incredible feat, andeditor Seth Bomse pieces it togetherin a way that’s both informative andsurprisingly suspenseful as the discordbetween Musselman, his investors andgovernment officials in Ghana grows.To her credit, Boynton doesn’t seemto have an agenda here so much as adesire to explain what’s happening andletting each participant tell his or herstory. What she makes clear, though, isthat the possibility of disaster is veryreal for everyone involved.

“Big Men” harkens back to suchmythology as King Midas and Pan-dora’s Box. But unlike in those fatedtales, Boynton has the foresight to seethe potential tragedies before theybecome a reality.

• “Big Men” received three-and-a-half stars out of four. The film is unrat-ed and contains nothing objectionable.It runs 99 minutes.

ed in charge when the

principal is off campus?

The secretary. Who is

the person who has to

bandage scraped knees

when the nurse is ab-

sent? The secretary. Who

is the person who must

make sure that classes

are covered whenever a

teacher has an emergen-

cy? The secretary.

Please be more kind

to the most important

member of a school’s

staff next to the teacher.

– Secretary, Bakersfield,Calif.

Dear Secretary: I

wasn’t forgetting the

importance of the school

secretary when I placed

this invaluable team

member after the cafe-

teria manager (a school

functions on its stom-

ach), but before the head

custodian. (Who fixes the

electrical problem when

the campus goes dark?

The head custodian.)

But in my next rating of

school personnel, I will

be sure to evaluate the

school secretary more

generously. (Who gives

a student money to buy

lunch when he forgets it?

The secretary.)

For those principals

who were upset and

contacted me because

I said that principals

were least important – of

course, principals make

important decisions and

are responsible to see

that all certificated staff

members perform in con-

cert so students receive

a quality education. But

when they are at princi-

pal meetings away from

campus, their schools

function properly in

their absence.

Dr.Wallace:Nick and I

dated for over a year and

we really were a great

couple. We had a lot in

common and enjoyed the

same activities. When

my dad got a new job and

we moved over 400 miles

away, we were both

devastated. We decided

to remain faithful to each

other.

After Christmas I

started attending my

best friend’s church

and went to a youth

conference with her last

month. Now I’ve met a

lot of new friends at the

church and one of them

is a really nice guy who

asked me to go out with

him. I told him I’d think

about it, but I didn’t tell

him about Nick.

I’ve been thinking

this over, and I’ve decid-

ed that I would like to

go out with this guy, but

I still care about Nick.

What should I do? – Am-ber, Uniontown, Pa.

Dear Amber:Contact

Nick and tell him you

care for him very much,

but feel it would be better

if you both dated others

and became active in

high school activities.

The plain fact is that two

years is too long a time

between visits. You don’t

need to volunteer the fact

that you’ve been asked

out, but if he asks, be

honest.

Dear Abby: I have been marriedalmost four years. Recently I hadsome medical problems that weremy wake-up call. I’m fine now,but I no longer am willing to waitfor “someday.”

I decided to try some new hob-bies, one of which is skydiving. Ihad said for years I’d never do itbecause I’m afraid of heights. ButI have changed my mind, and forme, this is a big deal.

When I asked my husbandwhat he thought, his responsewas, “I’m not spending the dayjust to see you jump out of an air-plane.” Talk about disappointing!

I have always “gone with theflow” when he has wanted to dosomething.

His response has left mewondering about a lot of things. Ihave had enough of his negativi-ty. He doesn’t do anything exceptstay home. I guess I expected himto be excited for me, or to say hedidn’t want me doing it. The firstis what I would have preferred.Now I’m not sure where I go fromhere. – Disappointed In San Diego

Dear Disappointed: I hope yourealize this letter isn’t aboutskydiving, but your husband’srefusal to help you celebrate yournew lease on life.

A successful marriage is onein which a couple ideally growsTOGETHER. If your husband isunwilling or unable to do that,then “where you go from here” isto first ask him if he’s willing totalk to a marriage counselor withyou. If he’s not, then schedulesome sessions for yourself with alicensed professional and discussthe circumstances that led toyour “wake-up call.” It will helpyou rationally – and unemotional-ly – decide how best to enjoy thisgift of life you have been given.

Dear Abby: You have addressedcellphone etiquette in your col-umn before, but in this day andage it bears repeating.

We attended a meeting forparents and students last night atour child’s high school. Inevita-bly, a cellphone rang, which canhappen to anyone. The ring wasquickly silenced.

A few minutes later, anothercellphone started ringing. Ratherthan mute it, the parent answeredit and proceeded to have a conver-sation during the meeting whilea school staff person was makinga presentation. The parent wassitting in the back row – he couldhave easily slipped out to havethis “important” conversation.

It was extremely annoying andrude. – Annoyed In Iowa

Dear Annoyed:At most eventsan announcement is made before-hand that cellphones should beturned off. If there is an inter-ruption, an experienced speakerwill pause until the interrup-tion ceases. From your letter, Iassume that isn’t what happenedlast night.

Dear Doctor K: Is drinking teagood for my health? Which typehas the most health benefits?

Dear Reader: Several studieshave touted the health benefits oftea, but the benefits of particularfoods or drinks are hard to prove.

The most persuasive type ofstudy to prove that any practicehas health benefits is a random-ized trial. When I say “practice,”I mean a medicine, a surgicalprocedure, a particular food orexercise routine – any practicedesigned in part to improve yourhealth. In such studies, somestudy participants are assigned atrandom to engage in the practice,and others are not.

While the benefits of a med-icine may be apparent prettyquickly, that wouldn’t be true ofa food. It might take decades ofregularly eating a food to have apositive health effect. That’s oneproblem. Another is that it’s notreally practical to expect that peo-ple will deliberately eat (or avoideating) a particular food, day inand day out, for decades.

However, it still is possiblethrough what are called obser-vational studies to gather strongevidence about the health benefitsof foods. And most of the researchhas found that whether it’s black,white, green or oolong, drinkinga few cups of tea a day may help

counteract the processes thatlead to cancer, heart disease anddementia.

Recently the American Jour-nal of Clinical Nutrition pub-lished 11 new studies highlightingthe many ways in which tea canmay improve our well-being. Hereare a few of the results from thesestudies:

• Tea drinking appears tolower the risk for heart diseaseand stroke.

• Natural compounds calledpolyphenols in green tea mightprotect against several cancers.These include prostate, GI tract,lung, breast and skin cancers.

• Caffeine and antioxidantscalled catechins found in green,oolong and white teas may in-crease metabolism and promoteweight loss.

• Tea polyphenols maystrengthen bones and protectagainst fractures.

• People who drink tea couldsee improvements in mood, con-centration and performance.

Tea appears to be distinctivelyrich in certain healthful proper-ties. My colleague Dr. Howard

Sesso, associate professor ofmedicine at Harvard MedicalSchool, explains that tea is partic-ularly plentiful in catechins andepicatechins. These antioxidantsare believed to be responsible formany of tea’s health effects.

The less processed tea leavesare, the more health-promotingcatechins they contain. Greenteas have the most nutritionalbenefit, followed by oolong andblack teas.

Avoid bottled teas, which areoften loaded with excess sugar.And don’t heap spoonfuls of sugarinto your tea. You can add a littlehoney or lemon to taste withoutcompromising the purity of yourtea. But stop there.

If caffeine makes you jittery orkeeps you awake at night, stick todecaf or lower-caffeine varieties,such as white tea.

If you’re just not a tea drinker,don’t despair. The research is stilltoo preliminary to conclude thateveryone should regularly drinktea. And if you’re a coffee drink-er? Good news. Coffee may protectagainst Type 2 diabetes and someforms of cancer.

Play one suit tohelp another

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Dr. Stuart Brown and Chris-topher Vaughan said: “Thegenius of play is that, in play-ing, we create imaginative newcognitive combinations. And increating those novel combina-tions, we find what works.”

Early in our bridge careers,we meet novel suit combina-tions and try to work out whatto do. Then we hope to remem-ber them for the future. Some-times, though, we cannot takea suit combination in isolation;we must be influenced by thefull deal.

In this example, how shouldSouth play the diamond suitfor four tricks in isolation, andhow within the context of try-ing to make three no-trump?

South starts with seven toptricks: two spades, one heart,three diamonds and one club.Assuming he can get a fourthdiamond winner, he needs onemore trick from somewhere.Even if the hearts are 3-3,perhaps there won’t be timeto establish the extra trick.The defenders might first taketwo hearts and three spades.Instead, declarer should gofor two club tricks by taking apair of finesses through East.However, that requires reach-ing dummy twice, which canhappen only in diamonds.

Taking diamonds in iso-lation, South would cash hisking, then cross to dummy’sace, in case East has jack-fourth. But not here; declarerneeds diamonds 3-2.

He cashes his king andqueen, overtakes his 10 withdummy’s ace, and plays a clubto his jack. It loses, but he winsthe next spade, leads his dia-mond four to dummy’s eight,takes a second club finesse, andclaims nine tricks.
