ST. CHARLES - Aldermenon Monday night got their firstpublic look at the communi-ty-generated document thatwill guide growth and devel-opment in St. Charles for thenext 15 years.
MarkArmstrong,chairmanof the Comprehensive PlanTask Force, told the Planningand Development Committeethat the document is the city’sfirst inwardly focused plan,and it omitted one element ev-
ery other comprehensive planhas called for since 1928: morebridges across the Fox River.
“This plan does not askfor any new bridges,” he said.“That’s the first time that’shappened in our history.”
Work on the 2013 compre-hensive plan began nearlytwo years ago. The process in-cluded resident and businessquestionnaires, interviewswith key individuals and sev-eral workshops, includingthose for Charlestowne Mall,the east side, the west side anddowntown.
Devin Lavigne of HousealLavigne, a planning consul-tant engaged to assist withthe plan, said the draft com-prehensive plan includes 10umbrella categories that have19 goals and more than 200 ob-jectives.
The community has “givenyou quite the list of things toaccomplish,” he said.
Fourth Ward Alderman JoKrieger expressed concernsabout some roadway propos-als and their affect on neigh-borhoods. The other 4th WardAlderman, Jim Martin, said
some of the suggestions wereproposed years ago and didn’tfly.
“It’s nice to have goals anddreams, but there’s practicali-ty to all of it,” Martin said.
First Ward Alderman RonSilkaitis expressed concernsabout the catalyst sites iden-tified downtown, which Arm-strong said are parcels with ahigh propensity for change.
“It’s like we’re forcingthings to move to put some-thing else in there,” Silkaitissaid. “I don’t want to lose whatSt. Charles is.”
By no means do those sitesuggestions seal the fate ofthe properties, Lavigne said.Rather, the uses outlined inthe comprehensive plan wouldbe used in the event that thebusinesses move or the prop-erties sell.
Aldermen did not finishtheir discussion about thecomprehensive plan beforepress time. Eventually, anupdated final comprehensiveplan will be forwarded to theCity Council, which must holda public hearing before formaladoption of the plan.

GENEVA – City officialshope more residents take ad-vantage of its overhead sewerprogram to avoid sewer back-ups during extraordinaryflood events.
Since 2009, Geneva has of-fered a 50 percent matchinggrant up to $3,000 for home-
owners to install overheadsewers.
But only a half dozen res-idents have taken the city upon its offer, said Superinten-dent of Water & WastewaterBob Van Gyseghem at theCommittee of the Whole meet-ing Monday.
“On April 18, we did have asevere rainstorm in town thatflooded a lot of people out, a lot
of backups,” Van Gyseghemsaid. “It was one of those occa-sions, within an hour we wentfrom a normal type of situa-tion in our sewer system to anoverflowing situation.”
Van Gyseghem highlightedthe overhead sewer programso the public knows it is there.
“There are ways for thepublic to help themselves outwith the overhead sewer grant
program,” Van Gyseghemsaid. “The best way to avoidany type of sewer backup is togo to an overhead sewer.”
The public can visit thecity’s website, www.geneva.il.us, click on water/wastewa-ter and scroll down to wherethe program’s details are list-ed.
The program is for peoplewho can demonstrate that they
have had sewer backups in thepast, Van Gyseghem said.
The installation connectsthe drain in the basement floorand slop sink and redirects anoverflow out. During a stormwith the possibility of a back-up, Van Gyseghem said home-owners also should refrainfrom using the bathroom.
Call Van Gyseghem’s officeat 630-232-1551.

ST. CHARLES – When describ-ing the activities 17-year-old YashBhatia participated in during hisfour years at St. Charles East HighSchool, it might be easier to listwhat he wasn’t involved in.
His extracurricular activitiesincluded orchestra; theater; the golfand tennis teams; the speech, de-bate and math teams; the NationalHonor Society; the Music, Spanishand Science honor societies; andvolunteering for places such as theSt. Charles Public Library and Liv-ingWell Cancer Resource Center.
Additionally, he served ascaptain for the school’s ScienceOlympiad team he co-founded hissophomore year, was presidentof both STC Guides and the MathHonors Society and worked as theschool newspaper’s editor-in-chief.
“I barely ever rode the bushome,” Bhatia said.
Bhatia – a St. Charles SchoolDistrict 303 student since the firstgrade – is set to graduate May 26with another, more unexpected titleattached to his name: prom king.
He and his girlfriend, LissetteGonzalez, were crowned prom kingand queen May 4.
“We didn’t expect to win,” hesaid.
Bhatia said it hasn’t yet sunk inthat he soon will be leaving East.He is trying to enjoy his last fewdays as a Saint, he said.
As the opinions editor for theschool newspaper since sophomoreyear, Bhatia spent much of his highschool career letting the studentbody know his thoughts on variousissues.
He tried to make his columnsfunny and entertaining whileincluding a serious point, he said,
adding he was able to strike thebest balance this year.
After high school, Bhatia expectshe will keep in touch with the clubclosest to him – the Science Olympi-ad team, he said.
In its first year, the team wasone spot away from qualifying forstate, he said, and in its second yearit won its division at state whileranking 16th overall.
“It was really cool,” Bhatia saidof the win. He noted the team ad-vanced to a more difficult divisionthis year and placed 10th overall.
Bhatia likely will pursue acareer in science at WashingtonUniversity in St. Louis, he said,mentioning such fields of study as
medicine, chemical engineeringand biomedical engineering.
His dream job would be workingin the medical field for the UnitedNations, Bhatia said.
That aspiration stems fromvisiting his aunt who was directorof medical services for the U.N., hesaid.
In high school, he really enjoyedthe freedom to join whatever clubshe wanted and plans on participat-ing in extracurricular activities incollege.
Will he do as much as he did atEast?
“Probably not as much,” Bhatiasaid, saying he will likely join a fewclubs – maybe four or five.

ST. CHARLES – Michelle Mannstarted giving tours of St. Charles EastHigh School before she herself even hadthe sprawling campus memorized.
Now, after four years of giving toursto visitors – including parents of incom-ing freshmen – the soon-to-be-graduatesaid she knows the building like theback of her hand.
“I’m a proud Saint,” Mann said. “Ilove my school. I love being able to talkabout it.”
Mann is set to graduate from East onMay 26 at the Sears Cen-tre in Hoffman Estates.
In her four yearsas a Saint, Mann hasparticipated in variousactivities, including thepeer leadership program– which helps freshmenacclimate to the school –and fine arts activities,such as theater, choirand band, she said.
“I’ve had a pretty fun-filled time atEast,” Mann said, noting she some-times spends up to 13 hours a day atschool.
A big part of her high school careerhas been participating in the theaterdepartment, Mann said. She joinedtheater as a sophomore, but it wasn’tuntil this year that she really came intoher own, she said.
This year – after normally doing oneor two shows a year – Mann co-direct-ed a one-act play and was the lead intwo others, she said. She played RobinGoodfellow, or Puck, in “A MidsummerNight’s Dream” and Dorothy in “TheWiz.”
She said she never envisioned her-self playing a lead role or directing aplay, which she described as a welcomechallenge.
“This year has really pushed me,”Mann said. “I loved it so much.”
She plans on attending the Univer-sity of Notre Dame, she said. While shewants to act again and plans on joininga choir and trying out for marchingband, she said those activities will berecreational pursuits. She plans tostudy international economics, shesaid.
“I will always be a Saint at heart,”Mann said.

GENEVA – For Colleenand Chris Ottens, concern forthe plight of the people of Hai-ti is something never far fromtheir mind.
“We just have a real softspot in our hearts for Haiti,”Colleen Ottens said. “We’venot been on a trip down there,but we feel like we need tohelp Haiti.”
On Saturday, the Ottens,of South Elgin, were amongdozens of volunteers from theTri-Cities and surroundingcommunities to assist orga-nizers of the Hope for Haitians5K Walk/Run for Education.The race started at the Gun-nar Anderson Forest Preservebehind the Kane County Gov-ernment Complex in Geneva.
The event, now in its sec-ond year, raises money tofund operations at schoolsoperated by Rockford-basedHope for Haitians in seven vil-lages in the poverty-plaguedCaribbean nation.
Locally, the organizationpartners with several areachurches, including the Ro-man Catholic parishes of St.John Neumann and St. Pat-rick in St. Charles, St. Kath-arine Drexel in Sugar Groveand St. Thomas More in Elgin.
This year, the event drewabout 275 runners and walk-ers willing to tackle the 3.1-mile course in and aroundGeneva on Saturday morning,said Theresa Kegley, devel-opment director for Hope forHaitians.
Last year, the event raisedabout $25,000. Kegley said or-ganizers believed they wereon pace to equal that total thisyear.
The event is one of twolarge fundraisers organizedannually by Hope for Hai-tians. The 5K was launchedlast year to tap into what Keg-ley said was “a huge base anda wonderful amount of ener-gy” surrounding her organi-zation’s cause in churches inand around the Tri-Cities.
“Our other event is an an-
nual gala, which is targeted ata certain type of person,” Keg-ley said. “This is somethingthat anyone can do, a muchmore family-friendly kind ofevent.”
About 40 local volunteerswere enlisted to help withthe event, culled largely fromHope for Haitians committeesat local churches.
The Ottens, for instance,volunteered through the Hopefor Haitians committee at St.Thomas More. Last year, theysaid they ran in the event, butopted for a different participa-tion method this year.
The couple believed help-ing Haitians is especially im-portant now, as support forthe nation, tied to the 2010earthquake that killed morethan 200,000 Haitians and dis-rupted the lives of more than 3million, has faded throughoutthe years.
“It’s hugely important,”Chris said.
“We’re here to work forGod and help the Haitians,”Colleen said.

GENEVA – Kane Coun-ty’s government soon couldobtain a new tool to help thecounty collect some of theunpaid money it is owed.
Tuesday, the Kane Coun-ty Board was poised to ap-prove an agreement withthe Illinois Comptroller’sOffice, giving the county ac-cess to the state’s local debtrecovery program.
The agreement to joinhad breezed through vari-ous County Board commit-tees and was on the agendafor a vote at today’s CountyBoard meeting.
Under the program, un-paid county taxes and feescan be collected by the statecomptroller’s office on be-half of the county.
The unpaid debts wouldbe confiscated by the statefrom various state pay-ments, including incometax refunds and lottery win-nings, among others, nor-
mally paid to individuals.The money then is routed
to the county government.Kane County officials, in-
cluding Kane County BoardChairman Chris Lauzen,have lauded the program’spotential.
The county has not firm-ly estimated how much itmight collect.
But Lauzen has said thecounty potentially could re-ceive hundreds of thousandsof dollars it is not collectingnow.
Lauzen has noted thatthe program could provebeneficial for certain coun-ty departments and offices,including the Kane CountyAnimal Control Depart-ment, which has launcheda renewed effort in recentmonths to collect unpaidregistration fees from dogowners in the county.
Lauzen has said AnimalControl must collect about$70,000 a month to meet itsannual budget and avoidneeding payments from else-
where in the county’s budgetto pay expenses, including a$93,000 annual debt servicepayment for its Animal Con-trol facility.
Kane County CircuitCourt Clerk Tom Hartwellsaid the program also couldbenefit his office.
He said increasing collec-tion of unpaid fees and otherdebts owed to his office hasbeen “a top priority” sincehe took office about sixmonths ago.
Hartwell said his of-fice already has partneredwith private debt collectioncompanies, and he said thecounty’s participation in thestate program would sup-port his efforts.
He estimated as much as$1 million in revenue couldbe collected this year for thecircuit clerk’s office throughthe various steps to collectunpaid debts.
“We’re still working onthe numbers, but we believeit is a significant number,”Hartwell said.

Hurdles in reforming U.S. food aidTHE WASHINGTON POST
Among the more laudableideas in President BarackObama’s budget for fiscal2014 is a plan to modernizeand reform the $1.5 billionU.S. food aid program.
Obama would end “mone-tization,” the inefficient prac-tice whereby the federal gov-ernment buys commoditiesfrom U.S. farmers and shipsthem abroad (on U.S.-flaggedvessels) to governments andnongovernmental organiza-tions that sell them and usethe proceeds for developmentprojects. Monetization raisescosts for U.S. taxpayers whiledisplacing goods overseas.
Alas, Obama’s plan hasrun into political opposition
on Capitol Hill. Members ofCongress from both partieshave objected, citing the po-tential losses for U.S. farmers,ports, ships and merchantseamen. Not surprisingly,these senators and represen-tatives generally hail fromport cities or farm states.
A bit more surprisingly,perhaps, some of them arefrom the D.C. area – on April5, Rep. Elijah Cummings,D-Md., sent a letter to thepresident arguing that hisplan “would significantlyreduce the amount of U.S.farm products our nationcould provide to those in needaround the world. It wouldalso threaten our nationalsecurity preparedness byreducing the domestic sealift
capacity on which our U.S.military depends.” Signa-tories included Gerald E.Connolly, D-Va., and EleanorHolmes Norton, D-D.C.
Interestingly, two ofthese legislators told us thatthey don’t oppose Obama’splan on its merits. Norton’sspokesman said she “thinksthe president’s policy iscorrect,” but signed the letteras a courtesy to Cummingsand because of a collateralconcern that food stampsmight be affected. Connolly,too, said Obama’s plan wouldmake sense in “an idealworld,” but political realitiesare such that foreign aidcannot get funding unlessdomestic U.S. constituenciesalso benefit.
Connolly’s rationale isa familiar one – indeed, itwas part of the Eisenhoweradministration’s originalargument for food aid. Butpoor people abroad have beenhostage to interest-group pol-itics in the U.S. long enough.The time has come for somefresh thinking of the sortRajiv Shah, Obama’s foreignaid administrator, is trying tointroduce.
Among the many pointsShah makes are that food aidshipments have declined by64 percent in the last decadeanyway, so it’s a bit late forfarmers and merchant mari-ners to be claiming they can’tsurvive without them.
In fact, farmers areprospering as never before,
thanks – in part – to commer-cial exports.
As for the merchantmarine, the number of U.S.-flagged ships has been insteady decline for decades,yet the U.S. military managedto prosecute several warsoverseas. If we need sealift fornational security, it would bemore transparent to subsidizethat directly.
Perhaps it’s true thatfunding for foreign aid,always politically tenuous,has depended on greasinginterest groups. But it’s alsotrue that foreign aid dependson persuading taxpayers, ingeneral, that their funds arebeing well spent. And thereare more taxpayers thanspecial interests.

Double dose of bad
luck for Batavia twinsBy JAY SCHWAB
BATAVIA – Identicaltwins are known tomimic one another in
the name of good-naturedmischief, but the Renfustwins took it further thaneither of them would haveliked this season.
In a bizarre and improb-able twist, both sisters suf-fered torn ACLs this soccerseason, exactly one monthapart. The sophomores willbe reduced to moral support-ers as the Bulldogs open theIHSA Class 3A Lake ParkRegional today against Hoff-man Estates.
Tori Renfus went downwith a right knee tear March26 during an early-seasonmatch against Lake Park. OnApril 26, Paige Renfus toreher left ACL during overtimeof a tournament match inBurlington, Iowa.
“I felt like I wanted tocry,” Tori Renfus said. “Nei-ther of us usually go downin pain. We usually walk itoff, so when Paige fell to theground, I knew somethingwas wrong, but I didn’t thinkit was the ACL like mine.”
Paige Renfus will haveher surgery today throughFox Valley Orthopedics, thesame group that handledTori’s procedure on April 16.Unlike Tori, Paige also toreher MCL.
“She’s been asking a lot ofquestions and I’ve done mybest to answer them,” ToriRenfus said. “I told her someexercises she should do priorto the surgery to strengthenthe quad muscle so rehab isa little easier, and what toexpect before the surgeryand after.”
Added Paige: “Tori wentinto it blindly, and I havethe gist of what will happento me when I do it, so I thinkit’s easier for me.”
On Monday, the sisterskept each other company – asusual – as their teammatesparticipated in the Bulldogs’final practice leading up to
the postseason.They credit their team-
mates for plenty of moralsupport, and Bulldogs coachMark Gianfrancesco said thetwins have reciprocated.
“It goes to show what typeof people they are and whattype of team we have thatthey want to come out and bea part of it,” Gianfrancescosaid. “Even in practice, itcan be raining, they want tocome out. I tell them not tocome out. They want to goshag balls – ‘Nope, don’t dothat.’ They want to go outand shake hands – ‘Hey, we’llbring it over to you.’ Theyjust want to be involved.”
Both 16-year-olds werepart of a deep rotation atforward for Batavia (11-4-3),with Tori Renfus havinglittle chance to make her
mark since her injury cameso early in the season.
Tori Renfus said herinjury came about when shelanded poorly while pursu-ing a rebound, while PaigeRenfus’ leg bent awkwardlyafter contact with a defender.
Considering what hap-pened to Tori on March 26and Paige on April 26, thetwins joked that they’ll beadvising their older sisterKallie Renfus – a formerRosary soccer player andcurrent college freshman atNotre Dame – to stay in herroom May 26.
While their shared medi-cal fate this spring defies theodds, their give-and-take astwins is much more relat-able.

Cougars drop roadtrip finale to ClintonKANE COUNTY CHRONICLE
Clinton, IOWA – A quali-ty start from Pierce Johnsonwas nullified by the offensefor the Kane County Cou-gars, who fell in their secondstraight contest, losing to theClinton LumberKings, 4-0, onMonday at Ashford Universi-ty Field.
Johnson (1-3) surrenderedseven hits over his six in-nings of work, yielding threeearned runs while fanningsix.
C l i n t o n ( 1 7 - 1 8 ) b r o k ethrough against Johnson inthe bottom of the third whenKetel Marte led off with a sin-gle and scored on a double offthe bat of Dario Pizzano.
P i z z a n o s c o r e d w h e nGuillermo Pimentel hit atwo-run homer to put theLumberKings up by three.
One more LumberKingsrun scored in the bottom ofthe fifth. Tim Lopes singledwith one out and advancedto second when Pizzanoreached on an error by short-stop David Bote. Two batterslater, Patrick Kivlehan sin-gled up the middle off John-son’s glove to score Lopes,giving the LumberKings a 4-0cushion.
Tyler Pike (2-3) pitched
the first five innings for theLumberKings and allowedonly three hits.
The only real threat forthe Cougars came in the fifthafter Pike walked Bote withtwo outs and allowed a dou-ble to Yaniel Cabezas, butOliver Zapata popped out tosecond, ending the inning.
David Holman pitched thenext three innings out of theClinton bullpen while OliverGarcia closed it in the ninthdespite loading the bases.

“It’s interesting,” PaigeRenfus said. “We have somedays that we get along reallywell and some days that wekind of butt heads a little. Butit’s common with sisters. Wego everywhere together.”
The Bulldogs’ program hasbeen on the upswing the pastcouple years after a multisea-son rut before Gianfrancescotook the reins. Gianfrances-co noted that a substantialchunk of last year’s team thatadvanced to a regional finalagainst Conant is back.
This year, the Bulldogsare the favorite by seed towin a regional crown, withLake Park or Glenbard Northto provide the oppositionin Friday’s regional final ifthe Bulldogs handle lightlyregarded Hoffman Estatestonight.
“It’s nice to get the expec-tation of having a high seedand the goal of winning a re-gional,” Gianfrancesco said.“Winning a regional, everyyear, at the minimum, shouldbe the goal. They workedhard during the season to putthemselves in that position.Now it’s time to take advan-tage of that opportunity.”
• RENFUSContinued from page 12
Substantial chunk of rosterreturns from last year’s team
Batavia senior Omar Medi-na keeps hovering around the3A boys track and field statequalifying standard for the300-meter hurdles.
He set his tunnel vision on39.84 seconds a long time ago.Now he yearns to match oreclipse it.
Medina carries a seasonpersonal record of 42.7 – heran 41.8 last spring – intoFriday’s Hoffman Estates Sec-tional, which, for all intentsand purposes, is the only timewhen going under qualifyingtime counts.
“I can already feel thatI’m better than where I wasat last year,” Medina said. “Ijust feel like I need to pick upthe pace even more, becauseI know if I can do that – cutdown my time by, like, twoseconds – I can make it down-state this year. That’s whatI’m shooting for.”
Medina took up track ineighth grade and immediatelyembraced it.
“It was more fun, if any-thing, and then that’s kind ofwhat got me into doing it inhigh school,” he said.
He began as a long jumperas a freshman before shift-ing to track events, wherehe quickly took a shine toveteran hurdles coach Mike
DiDomenico.That’s “Coach D” to any-
one who’s sported a crimsonand gold singlet and shorts inrecent memory.
“He’s the guy who pushesme,” Medina said. “The onewho really sees something inme, and I’m trying my bestto perform as well as the hur-dlers we’ve had in the pastfew years, like Rob Mohr andDavid Voland, those super-stars.”
Before a recent practice,Batavia head coach DennisPiron introduced Medina as a“superstar,” too.
That’s one reason Medinahopes to return to his almamater as a volunteer coachnext season, when he plans toattend Waubonsee Communi-ty College.
Whether it’s a Princetonrecruit such as Mohr orsomeone entering the stretchrun of his track career, Pironaims to get everyone fired up.
“He makes it a lot of funto come to practice everyday because, I mean, he’s notyour usual coach,” junior
sprinter Rourke Mullins said.“He jokes around with you,but he’s also serious when heneeds to be serious. He makesus work hard, and then hecan also joke around with usand have a lot of fun.”
Good Knights: Kanelandenters Friday’s 2A SterlingSectional on the heels of acomfortable win in the North-ern Illinois Big 12 Meet.
Competing at Dixon,whose Dukes edged theKnights by one point at con-ference in 2012, the Knightscreated a sizable lead on run-ner-up DeKalb and the rest ofthe field.
Highlights included throw-er Nate Dyer, who won theshot put and was third in thediscus.
“We’re pleased with thevictory,” said Knights coachEric Baron, whose teamedged St. Charles North forthe Kane County title earlierthis month. “We know thatwe can hit even better thanthat. but it’s a good steepin the right direction oncethings got rolling.”

North switches gearsagain at shortstopShortstop is not the position where a
teamwants to be frequently shufflingits personnel, but that is the scenario St.Charles North has found itself in this spring.A position that has been a traditional
strength for the North Stars has beenmoreof a trial-by-error, seasonlong audition forthe North Stars this season, though Northcoach Todd Genkemight be arriving at asolution in time for the postseason.Frankie Farry’s first game as the team’s
starting shortstop came Thursday atBatavia, and Farry handled the positionsmoothly as North’s defense turned in arare, errorless game, and beat Batavia, 3-0.“He’s got some goodmovement, he’s got
some good feet,” Genke said. “I told him atpractice the other day, we’re going to trytomake some changes in the lineup.“TimmyMisner’s been through a lot but,
tome, Misner’s a second baseman bytrade. He’s been doing a great job for us,but I just felt it wasmaybe time tomovehim around a little bit, and you sawwhathappened. I think Frank stepped up today.Maybewe found something.”Farry, also a pitcher for North, was again
solid at shortstop Saturday as the NorthStars dropped a pair to the Bulldogs in adoubleheader. With infield defense beingan adventure at times this season, Genkehas kept an openmind about pinpointingthe best defensive lineup. Catcher RyanThomas also saw time at third base againstBatavia as North sophomore CarsonSchmitt filled in behind the plate.“We’ve got someguys that are pretty
versatile, which is really nice to have at thevarsity level,” Genke said. “We’re going totry to use that versatility to our advantageand give guys opportunities that deserve it.”
Special night for Knights, ’DogsKaneland and Batavia will play under the
lights Friday at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark asthe former conference rivals celebrate ashared senior night. The sophomores willplay at 4:30 p.m., followed by the varsitygame at 7.According to a news release from
Kaneland coach Brian Aversa, “Themain
reason for the evening is that our proceedscollected at the gamewill be donated tothe Caitlyn PhillipsMemorial. Caitlyn was afun and energetic seventh-grader at HarterMiddle School whose life was tragicallyended at such a young age. As a resident ofElburn and amember of our Kaneland fam-ily, the senior baseball players agreed thattheywanted to support Caitlyn’s Memorialto help her family.“Each year, the seniors get to decide
which family, charity, or organizationwill re-ceive our donation from the game. This yearthey have found a great need to help thePhillips’ family. Please comeout and supportthe seniors and help usmake this possible.“We are also inviting all of the future
Kaneland players and their families to at-tend the gamewith the intention of givingthe players a feeling of what Kaneland HighSchool Baseball is all about.”Admission cost for the game is $5 for
adults, $4 for high school andmiddleschool students and $3 for elementarystudents. Children younger than age 5 getin free.
Familiar feeling for BietermanFirst-year Aurora Central Catholic coach
Sean Bieterman is presiding over amajorturnaround for the Chargers, who are en-joying one of their best seasons in programhistory.The Chargers, who are guaranteed their
first winning season since 2006, enteredplayMondaywith a 25-6 record.Bieterman is familiar with big-time base-
ball success, having coached at formerpowerhouse Driscoll from 2003 to 2009beforemoving to Lincoln-Way Central.“This team, this group, this program,
thewaywe’re evolving, is remindingmesomuch of what wewere able to buildover at Driscoll,” Bieterman said. “I mean,it really is. It’s the same kind of kid. It’s atough kid, it’s a selfless kid, it’s a kid whocares about the team first. It’s a kid that’sreally passionate and driven to win, andalso driven to improve themselves on adaily basis.”

WHAT WE LEARNEDLAST WEEK ...Kaneland’s John Hopkins is rounding
back into form. Hopkins, who wasunable to pitch for most of the firsthalf of the season with an injury,threw a complete game Saturday asthe Knights edged Streator, 2-1, in aNorthern Illinois Big 12 crossover.
WHAT WE’LL LEARN IN
THE WEEK AHEAD ...Whether Batavia or St. Charles East
wins the Upstate Eight ConferenceRiver Division. The Bulldogs (16-6 UECRiver) entered the final week of theregular season with a half-game edgeon the Saints (15-6 UEC River), with athree-game set against Streamwoodawaiting Batavia beginning today,while the Saints play a three-gameseries against Larkin and a potentialresumption of a postponed gameagainst St. Charles North.
St. Charles North’s season is a good reminder to all thewinning program out there (not just baseball) to appreciate thegood times and not take success for granted.The North Stars are by no means at rock-bottom but it looks
like they could land on the wrong side of .500, which for aprogram that has been so consistently good is still quite adrop-off.Even some of the best coaching staffs and programs with
great traditions aren’t immune to the cyclical nature of highschool sports.Now, all that said, the North Stars could still make some noise
in regionals next week. With a couple pretty doggone goodlefties in Shah and Wright, if the Stars have a good day(s) withtheir gloves and bats, maybe they can sneak out a low-scoringupset or two.• You can respond at kcchronicle.com/blogs/sly.

Children’s toys often tell us how times
have changed. Canada stopped making
pennies last year, so saving money a
penny at a time will soon be a problem
in Canada. The United States also may
stop making pennies, since the cost of
the copper in a single coin is more than
one cent. But, ironically, the cost of a
19th-century mechanical bank has gone
up. A Speaking Dog bank set a record at
$63,250 a few years ago. The girl with
the dog on that bank was wearing a blue
dress. Most of these banks have a girl
with a red dress. The bank was sold at
Morphy Auctions in Pennsylvania in 2007,
before the economic downturn in 2008.
And the record bank had almost perfect
paint. But the Speaking Dog bank still is
very popular. It sells today for prices that
range from $150 for one with worn paint
and rust to over $14,500 for an excellent
example. But watch out; copies have
been made. The cast-iron mechanical
bank was made by the J. & E. Stevens
Co. of Cromwell, Conn., in about 1895.
Place a penny on the tray in the
girl’s hand. When the lever is pushed
down, the dog opens its mouth, swallows
the penny and wags its tail.

Q: I have an electric clock that pictures
the Trylon and Perisphere and the words
“New York World’s Fair 1939” in gold on
the face. The clock is in the shape of a
ship’s wheel and is about 11 inches tall.
It was made by Sessions Clock Corp.
and keeps perfect time. Does it have any
value?
A: The New York World’s Fair opened
on April 30, 1939, the 150th anniversary
of George Washington’s inauguration as
president of the United States. It ran until
the end of October that year, reopened
in May 1940 and closed on Oct. 27,
1940. Many souvenirs were made for
the fair. Items that picture the Trylon
and Perisphere are especially wanted
by collectors. The three-sided Trylon and
spherical Perisphere, symbols of the
fair, were temporary structures made of
plasterboard over steel frames. Check
the website 1939NYWorldsFair.com for
more information on the 1939 fair. Value
of your clock: about $100.
***
Q: I inherited an antique Chippendale
maple dresser with four drawers. There’s
a large tag inside one drawer that’s titled
“Florian Papp.” Handwritten information
on the card says the dresser is a “genuine
antique” made in New England and that it
was sold by Florian Papp in 1927. I would
like to learn more.
A: Florian Papp (1883-1965) was
born in Hungary and immigrated to the
United States in about 1900. He worked
as a cabinetmaker and furniture restorer
before opening a gallery in New York City,
where he specialized in selling European
antiques. The Florian Papp antiques
and art gallery is still in business, now
operated by the third generation of the
Papp family. It has always been a very
important gallery, and the provenance on
the card is a guarantee that the dresser
was made in New England and is not a
reproduction.
***
Q: I found a platter in my mother’s
china cupboard that doesn’t match
anything else she had, and I have no idea
where it came from. The mark on the
bottom is a circle with a crown on top.
The word “Celebrate” is inside the circle,
and “Made in Germany” is written below.
Is this platter old and valuable?
A: The mark you describe was
used by Geo. Borgfeldt & Co., a New
York City importer. The company was in
business from 1881 until about 1976.
Geo. Borgfeldt & Co. imported china
and earthenware, dolls, toys, glassware,
novelty goods and other items from
Europe and sold them to retailers in
the United States. The mark was used
beginning in 1936. “Celebrate” is one
of the trademarks owned by Borgfeldt.
Your platter probably was made in the
late 1930s, before the outbreak of World
War II. It is difficult to sell a piece that
probably was part of a set. Value: about
$40.
***
Q: I have six issues of Ladies’ Home
Journal from 1898. They’re in pretty good
condition. I was thinking they might be
worth something to a collector. What do
you think?
A: The Ladies’ Home Journal was
first published in 1883. It’s still on
newsstands today. Issues as old as yours
are especially interesting to collectors
because of their old ads and photos. In
general, 1898 Ladies’ Home Journals
sell online and at shows for $40 to $45
each.
***
Q: I have a small set of Candlewick
glass, but three of them are cloudy. I
believe this is from being washed in a
dishwasher. Is there any way to make
them clear again?
A: Cloudiness is caused by deposits
of calcium carbonate left by new
phosphate-free dishwasher detergents,
especially if they’re used with hard water.
Manufacturers removed phosphate from
their dishwashing products in 2010, after
several states banned the ingredient
because it contributes to the growth of
algae in the environment. To clear up
cloudy glasses, put a cup of white vinegar
on the top rack of the dishwasher and
run the glasses through the cleaning
cycle without detergent. To prevent it from
recurring, clean your dishwasher every six
months and use less detergent when you
run the dishwasher. You also can add a
little citric acid to the detergent.

Tip: Never scrub threaded coral
beads. The edges of the coral are so
sharp they may cut the bead string.

You may see a funny, bumpy ball sitting on a tee.But when you take it into the the STEM Zone,a golf ball looks aerodynamic!
The word aerodynamic comesfrom two Greek words:
ee.
Scientists andengineers usethe rules ofaerodynamicsto make thingsgo fast and far– like race cars,jet planes andgolf balls!
The impact, or hit, of a golfclub on a ball gives it speedto move.Drag is anopposite force that slowsa moving object.
Most round objects (like agolf ball) have less dragthan flat objects (like acube).
STEMConnection:
The weight of an object makes it harder
to lift. Have you ever wondered how a
full passenger jet, which weighs about
300,000 pounds, can fly? Aerodynamics!
Golf balls do not create as much lift as
a passenger jet, but they do create
enough to greatly increase hang time,
and therefore, distance.
As a golf ball travels through the air,
wind resistance creates drag, which
slows the ball down. The dimples
on a golf ball reduce the drag of the
air making it possible for the ball
to go faster and farther.
At the USGATest
Center, scientists created
a 70-foot-long tunnel to test golf
balls.Amachine shoots out golf
balls at 190 mph. Infra-red sensors
along the tunnel record the flight of
the ball as it flies through the
tunnel. The sensors send this data
to a computer for analysis.
The indoor test tunnel is used by
golf ball companies around the
world as they develop new golf
balls for the sport.Dimples on a golf ball reduce
drag
and increase lift. Here’s how:
The air boundary around a golf ball
with no dimples is wider. This creates
a thick wake behind the balland
more drag.

Bernoulli’s Principle explains howobjects generate aerodynamiclift. Lift is partly responsible forgetting golf balls to travel as faras they do.
Wave your hand through the air. You canfeel the drag of the air.

HOROSCOPE
New ‘Star Trek’ a joyride for viewersBy ED SYMKUSMore Content Now
Despite its grim title, this sequel toJ.J. Abrams’ really, really good, but notquite great reboot of the “Star Trek”franchise is going to be an absolutejoyride for a lot of viewers.
The writing has been knocked up afew notches; though Kirk (Chris Pine)and Spock (Zachary Quinto) still remainat the film’s center, the rest of the crewhas been given more to do this time; andmost important, “Into Darkness” is trulya valentine to “Star Trek” fans, especial-ly those who have been into it since theoriginal TV show.
The film is filled with little shout-outsto us. A couple of times the script justwalks up and says hello to hardcore fansof the show and, to a lesser degree, thefirst films.
Newcomers to the “Star Trek”universe won’t realize what’s going on,while certain references will give bigsmiles to those in the know.
The story takes place in 2259. No,that’s not a star date, it’s the year. Someof it happens in San Francisco, somein London, some out in space, the finalfrontier. Spock is and always will be astick-to-the-rules guy. Kirk is a free-
wheeling leader who does what needsto be done to get things done. Someoneutters the words “acting Captain Sulu.”
Actually, there’s so much going onin this movie, I’m going to let loose withfour lines of dialogue, totally out ofcontext.
“We’re defenseless, sir!”“Beam me out!”“What are you doing with that Trib-
ble?” (I told you there were references.)“Star Trek Into Darkness” starts the
way great action movies should start,with a lot of action. Kirk and Bones areliterally on the run, Spock – in a coolcopper colored suit – is busy putting hislife on the line. Interplanetary rules arebroken, souls are bared, fast banter isvolleyed, and attitudes are very muchon display, as are relationships. Theromantic one between Spock and Uhurahas become serious; swinging singleKirk is revealed to have a thing for alienfemales – yes, that’s plural (you can tellthey’re aliens because they have tails!).
“Star Trek” has always been famousfor making its stories the most import-ant piece of the puzzle. There’s no excep-tion here, and “Into Darkness’” storyreally kicks into gear with the intro-duction of the villainous John Harrison(Benedict Cumberbatch, British TV’s
current Sherlock Holmes). Initially wedon’t know much about this guy exceptthat he’s responsible for what wouldgenerally be termed a terrorist attack ona major city, and that he is, according tothe folks in Star Fleet, “one of our own.”
There are spectacular visuals tomatch the wild action, and there are mo-ments of quiet, serious talk that nicelycomplement perfect segments of comicrelief.
Best of all, the writers have learnedan important lesson from 2009’s “StarTrek.” This time they’ve made sure tostay away from anything resemblingthe time-space continuum businessof that film that had even some of themost diehard fans wondering whatwas going on.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17,
and the guy that I love
is 19 and is in the mili-
tary service.
I love him with all
of my heart and soul,
and he says that he
feels the same way
about me. We con-
stantly talk about
getting married when
he gets discharged in
three years.
My problem is that
in three weeks, he is
going overseas for 24
months.
He said that he put
in for overseas duty
because he wanted to
see some of the world
before he settles down
to get married. This
move has made me
very upset and unhap-
py.
This means that we
will not see each other
until he comes back
from overseas.
Both my parents
and my older sister
think that I would be
stupid to sit at home
two years dateless! I
also am not 100 per-
cent positive that we
will feel the same way
about each other once
he returns. A lot can
happen in two years.
Please give me your
opinion. – Abby, SanClemente, Calif.
Dear Abby: At your
age, and in your frame
of mind, I would
inform your boyfriend
that it would be better
for you to date others,
if you choose, during
his two years overseas.
Encourage him to do
the same, and when
he returns home, the
romance can proceed
if the “love flame” is
still burning.
Dr. Wallace: My
parents are concerned
because my little
brother is starting to
do everything with
his left hand. They
don’t want him to be
left-handed because
they think it would be
a tremendous disad-
vantage.
Should our family
encourage Michael
to use his right hand
or let nature take its
course? – Nameless,Columbus, Ohio
Dear Nameless:Most psychologists
agree that left-handed
children should NOT
be forced or “encour-
aged” to convert to
right-handedness.
Doing so could be
psychologically dam-
aging.
Furthermore, being
left-handed is hardly
a handicap. Many
of the world’s most
successful people are
southpaws, including
three of our last four
presidents.
Dr. Wallace: Why is
the drinking age 18 on
a cruise ship? My dad
thinks it’s because if
18-year-olds get drunk
they can’t drive and
kill innocent people.
Is this true? – Bessie,Willmar, Minn.
Dear Bessie: The
minimum drinking
age in all 50 states is
21, but once cruise
ships, most of which
are registered in for-
eign countries, are in
international waters,
they generally use
18 as the minimum
drinking age.
The reason is sim-
ple: maximizing prof-
its. The more drinkers
on board, the more
money they rake in.

Dear Abby: I am a womanin my late 40s and I hate sex. Ialways have and always will.I’m disabled, and it has alwaysbeen torture. I never got anypositive benefits out of it.
My problem is I get hit onconstantly. I tried marriageonce, more for financialreasons than anything else,but I couldn’t wait to get out.I’m single now, own my ownhome, and the men in this town(married and single) all seemto think I’m fair game. They’reconvinced that I’m in need ofsatisfaction because I don’tdate or have a steady man inmy life.
I have told them repeatedlythat it’s not going to happen,but every once in a while onepops up on my doorstep or ap-proaches me in town, only to betold AGAIN to leave me alone.
Please don’t tell me to see atherapist. The last one I wentto tried to tell me I was gay. No!I’m simply happy being singleand sex-free. How do I get itthrough their thick skulls thatI’m not available? – Sexless ByChoice
Dear Sexless: Although welive in a sex-obsessed society,not everyone – male or female –is a sexual creature. Your ther-apist should not have tried tolabel you as gay. You appear tobe asexual, which you describeas happily sex-free.
The next time you are hit onby one of these men – who, bythe way, probably think thatby doing so they are “helping”– tell him you are happy withyour life just the way it is, andit isn’t necessary to offer helpwhere none is needed. Period.
Dear Abby: I really like thisgirl, but my parents absolutelycannot stand her. They hatethat she has a tattoo and a lipring, but her appearance hashad no effect on her profession-al life, as she is on the road tosuccess in her field. I am notwriting to ask whether I shouldstay with her, because I intendto. She’s an amazing person,
a hard worker, a trustworthypartner and, most of all, she’smy best friend.
How can I diffuse potentially“combustible” situations withmy parents, who always try toput her down no matter howoften I plead my case? – Joe InRhode Island
Dear Joe: Whether yourparents approve or not, tattoosseem to have become a riteof passage for many people ofyour generation, and so havelip rings, eyebrow rings andmultiple ear piercings. If youare over 21 and living indepen-dent of your parents, then youhave the right to choose thewomen you become involvedwith. From your letter, I’d sayyour values are mature.
In time, your parents mayrecognize the fine qualities yousee in this young woman. Ifthey don’t, they may wind upestranging a son. Right now,getting into a debate about herwill be a losing proposition andI’m advising you against it.
• Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com.
Dear Doctor K: I have mildback pain. I sit at a desk all dayand tend to slouch. My mothersays that sitting up straightmay help. Is she right?
Dear Reader: I hope it’s true.Otherwise, my mother (likeyours) was wrong. And I thinkit is true.
Most of us get back pain atsome point in our lives. It’susually not caused by an acci-dent. Rather, it develops because,in going about our regularactivities, we strain musclesand ligaments in the back thatsupport our spines. This happensduring the course of day-to-daylife. Repetitive activities at workor home, such as sitting at acomputer or lifting and carrying,may produce tension and muscletightness that result in backache.
Fortunately, there’s a lot wecan do to prevent back pain.Most of all, it’s important to bephysically fit and to maintain ahealthy weight. Minding yourposture helps, too.
Posture is the way you holdyour body while standing,sitting or performing taskssuch as lifting or bending. Ifyour posture is good, the bonesof your spine align correctly.
If your posture is bad and thespinal bones are not in properalignment, there is extra stresson the muscles and ligaments.They try to correct for the badposture and become injuredfrom the strain. This is howpoor posture can both causeback pain and make it worse.(I’ve put an illustration show-ing good posture while sittingand standing on my website,AskDoctorK.com.)
Try the following exercises.They can help improve yourposture and head off back pain:
• Imagery. Think of astraight line passing throughyour body from ceiling to floor.Your ears, shoulders, hips,knees and ankles should beeven and line up vertically asyou stand. Now imagine thata strong cord attached to yourbreastbone is pulling yourchest and rib cage upward,making you taller.
• Shoulder blade squeeze. Situp straight in a chair with your
hands resting on your thighs.Keep your shoulders downand your chin level. Slowlydraw your shoulders back andsqueeze your shoulder bladestogether. Hold for a count offive; relax. Repeat three times.
• Upper-body stretch. Standfacing a corner with yourarms raised, hands flat againstthe walls, elbows at shoulderheight, with your right footforward. Bend your right knee,but keep the left knee straight.Keep your back straight andyour chest and head up. Youshould feel a nice stretch acrossyour chest. Hold this positionfor 20 to 30 seconds. Relax.
Now and then, you’ll meetsomeone who has perfectposture and hasn’t had to workon it. It’s just comes naturally.Most of us, however, tend toslouch. Our mothers reallywere right: Good posture notonly makes us look better, italso protects us against backpain.

How does responderfind 4-4 spades?
BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
This week, we are looking atthe Stayman convention, whoseprimary job is to try to find a 4-4major-suit fit after opener imme-diately shows a balanced hand.
When the opening bid is oneno-trump and responder bidstwo clubs, it asks opener to showa four-card major. If openerhas two of them, he rebids twohearts. Then, what does theresponder do when he has fourspades and fewer than fourhearts?
If he has game-invitation-al strength, it depends uponsystem. If one no-trump – two no-trump is natural, showing aboutnine points and inviting game,then responder continues withtwo no-trump. Since he usedStayman, he must have a four-card major, and since he hasnot raised hearts, he must holdfour spades. But if one no-trump– two no-trump is not natural,perhaps a transfer to diamonds,responder rebids two spades.
Opener is expected to placethe final contract. Here, with anabsolute maximum, he signs offin three no-trump.
After West leads the diamondking, what should South do?
Declarer has six top tricksand at least three more cancome from the clubs. However,if East has the club king, thereis a risk the opponents willcollect four diamond tricks todefeat you. The answer? Duckthe first trick. If West leads an-other diamond, it gives you twodiamond tricks. If West shifts,you win in hand and run theclub 10 (or queen).
Ducking with the A-J-x iscalled the Bath Coup becausethis play was first recognizedin that English city when whistwas popular.
