KCC VIDEOS

By Sandy Bressner, photo editor at the Kane County Chronicle

In the first minutes of Batavia’s

visit to Burgess Field in Geneva

for its varsity soccer match,

the crowd was treated to some

high-flying acrobatics as Batavia

player Nick Konopacki flew over

Bulldog goalie Kevin Fiddelke.

Geneva’s Jason Lagger’s goal at-

tempt was stopped, and Konopac-

ki rolled out of his somersault and

hopped back onto his feet.

I had a tough time choosing

which photo I should submit for

the print and Web of last Wednes-

day’s editions. I really liked the one

with Konopacki’s feet straight up

in the air, with his body crumbled

behind the goalie, but I ended up

going with the photo of the two

players in the air and Fiddelke’s

hands squarely on the ball mid-

save, the top left photo pictured

above.

I felt it showed the whole play in

one photo.

Shooting range gives officersmore opportunities to trainBy BRENDA SCHORY

[email protected]

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP– With the unveiling of its newshooting range Thursday, theKane County Sheriff’s Officeannounced a state-of-the-artregional training center forall of the county’s law en-forcement community to use.

“This is very exciting forus,” Kane County SheriffPat Perez said to a crowd oflaw-enforcement representa-tives and county officials asthe new facility, adjacent tothe sheriff’s main facility,was presented.

Perez said after the oldfacility on Fabyan Parkwaywas rendered unusable be-cause of flooding, the depart-ment relied on the St. CharlesPolice Department’s trainingfacility.

The new shooting rangehas room for 15 officers toshoot, a storage area, anotherarea for officers to clean theirguns and an air-handlingsystem that pulls out all theresidue from shooting, thencleans and recycles it.

County Board ChairmanChris Lauzen said the first re-sponsibility to the citizens ispublic safety, and he thankedKane County Board memberswho supported the project.

Architect Brian Kronewit-

ter and construction managerRick Kreschel, both of Cordo-gan Clark in Aurora, workedon the range project.

Kronewitter said the near-ly $2 million project came in$500 under budge and finishedin four months instead of five.

“We were able to add somefeatures to the project, in-cluding some expansion toa storage room between thefiring range and the existingsally port ... about 700 squarefeet,” Kronewitter said. “Thetotal value of that was about$60,000, which was savings we

realized through the project,and [we] were able to imple-ment that and still keep them$500 below their final bud-get.”

Kreschel said county rep-resentatives created a goodteam during the project, spe-cifically Operations StaffExecutive Donald Biggs, Sgt.Tim Flowers and Sgt. ChrisPeeler.

Peeler, who also serves asa shooting range officer, ex-plained the new design hasbullets going slowly into rub-ber instead of hitting steel

and breaking apart, spread-ing lead residue all over. Peel-er said officials also would beable to have a company come,collect the lead and pay thecounty for it.

Peeler also praised theKane County Board for ap-proving a project as essentialto safety.

“The most important thingis the ability to train,” Peel-er said. “Because the bottomline is, you don’t want a po-lice officer that comes in andqualifies once a year. Youwant a police officer that’straining throughout the year,maintaining those skill levels– because shooting is a perish-able skill.”

Ongoing training is essen-tial to saving lives, Peelersaid.

“If you had to bet your lifein shooting basketball, andyou didn’t shoot but once ayear, would you want thatperson coming to save yourlife? Absolutely not,” Peelersaid. “You want someone thatmaintains a training regimethroughout the year, keepsthose skills up at the high-est level, especially when itcomes to saving someone’slife, which is basically whatour job is.”

Geneva Police Cmdr. JulieNash said the shooting range“will be very beneficial to all

of the agencies in the area.”“And I appreciate the fact

that they are offering it toother law-enforcement agen-cies,” Nash said.

Perez said the money tobuild the new range was gen-erated from housing federalinmates from the Metropol-itan Correctional Center forthe U.S. Marshal’s Service.

In the past two years, thatservice generated $2.1 millionand $2.7 million in revenue,so the shooting range wasbuilt without tax dollars orborrowing money, Perez said.

6 COVER STORY

By ERIC [email protected]

Fox Ridge ElementarySchool physical educationteacher Katie Ryan said shedoesn’t have to do much to mo-tivate her students to partici-pate in gym classes.

“They love it,” Ryan said.“They love coming down.”

As part of a new law, schooldistricts across the state willhave to implement physicalassessments to help studentsset individual fitness goals andhelp teachers address individ-ual student needs. Gov. PatQuinn signed the bill into lawin August.

The legislation builds onnew physical education andhealth learning standards ad-opted by the Illinois State Boardof Education earlier this year.The new standards focus onpersonal fitness and wellnessand the connection betweenlearning and fitness.

Fox Ridge and the otherschools in St. Charles SchoolDistrict 303 track the fitnessprogress of their students.

“We’ve already been doingthe FitnessGram for manyyears,” Ryan said. “So it won’tbe a big change here in our dis-trict, other than sending it tothe state.”

The new law creates a sys-tem to monitor the aggregatefitness levels of Illinois youthover time. A task force, com-prised in part of school healthadvocates and experts and or-ganizations representing phys-ical education teachers, schoolofficials and principals, will beset up to develop the protocolsand approaches to statewide fit-ness testing. Schools would berequired to implement the test-ing in the fall of 2016. Accord-ing to FitnessGram’s website,FitnessGram is a comprehen-sive educational, reporting andpromotional tool used to assessphysical fitness and physical

activity levels for children. Itfirst was developed in 1982 bythe Cooper Institute and is themost widely used children’shealth-related physical fitnessassessment in the world.

The assessment includes avariety of health-related phys-ical fitness tests that are usedto determine students’ overallphysical fitness and suggestareas for improvement whenappropriate. As part of theFitnessGram system, kids seewhere the healthy fitness zoneis for each of the different testsin the FitnessGram.

“We’ve seen tremendousgrowth by the kids actuallybeing able to see the data andhow they’re doing,” Ryan said.“It shows what their score waslast year and where they are atright now, if maybe they haveimproved or stayed the same.”

Elissa Bassler, executivedirector of the Illinois Allianceto Prevent Obesity and CEO ofthe Illinois Public Health Insti-tute, praised the legislation as

a way to address the obesity ep-idemic in children. Accordingto the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention, childhoodobesity in the United States hasmore than doubled in childrenand tripled in adolescents inthe past 30 years. A child withexcess body fat is consideredoverweight or obese. Doctorstake several factors into con-sideration – including weight,age, height and gender – to de-termine whether a child fits oneof those categories.

Locally, Kane County’s 2011Community Health Assess-ment indicates that 21.8 percentof children younger than 18 areconsidered obese.

“One of the things that weknow about physical educa-tion is that it really can lay afoundation for lifelong fitness,”Bassler said. “It’s a great part ofthe mix of things that we needto be doing to address the obesi-ty epidemic in children, and therelated epidemics of diabetesand other diseases.”

She said being able to testthe fitness of children statewidewill have many benefits.

“We can track fitness over-all for students, which is im-portant, so we know where weneed to go,” Bassler said. “Thefitness testing is really de-signed to help students becomemore fit and teachers to addressthe needs of specific children.”

She said the research showsfit kids learn better. GenevaSchool District 304 and BataviaSchool District 101 officials alsoare preparing for the new law.

“There has been an increasein recent years in the overallattention being paid to healthand fitness at all levels,” KelleyMunch, the Geneva school dis-trict communications coordina-tor, said in an email. “This lawwill simply build on that focus.Our staff members are awareof the law, and the curriculumcommittees for the areas ofphysical education and healthare looking at options in termsof what tools and resources are

and will be available to complywith the law.”

Batavia School District 101Chief Academic Officer BradNewkirk said the district hasa team of physical educationteachers who are working to-gether with the administrationto implement the new enhancedphysical education standards.The district already tracks thefitness of students.

“Our high school was usinga FitnessGram product, themiddle school was trackingthose same types of skills in adifferent way, and the elemen-tary schools were doing sometesting in a different way, aswell,” Newkirk said.

He sees the value in doingthe testing.

“Their physical health isimportant,” Newkirk said. “Sowhat is important should bemeasured. Measuring a kid’sphysical development and theirphysical fitness is somethingthat’s important, so we shouldbe tracking it.”

D-303 School Board mulls synthetic turf at high schoolsBy CHARLES [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – A St.Charles School District 303Board committee on Thurs-day discussed a few optionsfor the future of the stadiumathletic fields at its two highschools, including whetherthey should install syntheticturf.

District officials duringthe regular Business ServicesCommittee Meeting present-ed the options of installing

the turf at St. Charles Northand East high schools, replac-ing the entire stadium field atSt. Charles North or keepingthings the same.

District administrationdid not have a recommen-dation for the committee,nor did the committee takeany action on the fields. Theschool board will likely wanta better financial picture ofwhere the district is at be-fore any action is taken, St.Charles Superintendent DonSchlomann said after the

meeting.Synthetic turf would re-

sult in less annual costs forthe district, but the initialinvestment would be $875,000a field, said Seth Chapman,District 303 assistant superin-tendent of business services.

The synthetic turf alsowould have to be replaced inabout 10 years at a cost be-tween $425,000 and $450,000.The district had an initialdiscussion with District 303sports boosters about havingtheir group cover most of

the cost of the replacement,assuming they can collect$30,000 in contributions ev-ery year, Schlomann said.

Under the second option,replacing the St. Charlesnorth stadium field wouldhave an init ial cost of$430,000, with projected costsof $25,000 every five years. Ifthe district keeps the fieldsthe same, the initial costwould be $25,000, but with aprojected $100,000 in recur-ring costs every five years.

The St. Charles East and

North athletic directors onThursday spoke to the com-mittee about how the currentfields become compromisedafter their prolonged useduring the fall and springsports seasons. More sportsteams and school groupswould be able to utilize syn-thetic turf fields, St. CharlesAthletic Director Mike Som-merfeld said.

“It would just providemore opportunities for ourkids, most certainly,” he saidof the synthetic turf fields.

Kane CountyMorgue remodeling underway

By BRENDA [email protected]

GENEVA – Kane County isgetting a renovated morgue,as crews began work thisweek to gut and remodel it,Kane County Coroner RobRussell said.

The morgue temporarilyclosed in June because of moldcontamination, and autopsieshave been outsourced to theDuPage County Morgue.

Ongoing tension between

Russell and Kane Coun-ty Board Chairman ChrisLauzen in the past monthsappears to have thawed a bitthis week. Russell said he metMonday in a private sessionwith the chairman, along withChief Deputy Coroner LorenCarrera and Operations StaffExecutive Donald Biggs, andthey worked out some com-mon goals.

“We discussed what itwould take to get the morgueopen, and we got a list ofthings we agreed on fixing,”Russell said. “We do not havefinal numbers, but $76,000 wasalready budgeted for the freez-er-cooler combination.”

Russell said final construc-tion costs have not yet beenfigured out.

“We are just trying to ret-rofit something in here to getus through the next five years

using the existing facilities,”Russell said. “The buildingis not big enough, but whatwe’re basically going to bedoing is replacing what wehave.”

While the morgue will nothave more capacity, the newcooler-freezer combinationwill be something that can beremoved and expanded into anew building.

“I told the Judicial andPublic Safety Committee thatwe could make it here anoth-er five years, in this building,limping along, but that weneed to be walking into a newbuilding in five years,” Rus-sell said. “It’s not just the ageof the building, but the spacehere. We can’t really expandanywhere.”

Biggs and Lauzen did notreturn messages seeking com-ment.

Cupcake company opens St. Charles locationBy CHARLES [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – The sec-ond Illinois location of a cup-cake shop franchise openedthis month in downtown St.Charles.

Smallcakes: A Cupcakeryof St. Charles, opened forbusiness on Sept. 12 at 117W. Main St., Suite 120, St.Charles, said Tina Wacker-lin, who is the St. Charlesstore franchisee with herhusband, Eric.

The store is behind Forev-er Yogurt and below Szech-wan near the southeastcorner of Main Street andSecond Street (Route 31).

The St. Charles Small-cakes offers 15 signatureflavors made every day,and two different daily spe-cial flavors every day of theweek.

Cookies and browniesalso are available, Wackerlinsaid.

The store in the futureplans to sell cupcake milk-shakes and treat pops andwill have seasonal items

such as Christmas cookies,Wackerlin said.

Smallcakes founder JeffMartin opened the firstSmallcakes in July 2009 inOverland Park, Kansas, ac-cording to the Smallcakeswebsite.

There are franchises in17 states and also abroad inDubai.

Wackerlin discoveredSmallcakes through JillWackerlin-Watson, a cous-in of Wackerlin’s husband

who opened the other IllinoisSmallcakes in Napervilleearlier this year.

Wackerlin said she decid-ed to pursue opening a Small-cakes location because shehas been an avid baker sinceshe was a young child.

“I knew how to bake, I justdidn’t know the ins and outsof the franchise at the time,”Wackerlin said.

Wackerlin looked at loca-tions on Randall Road andMain Street for her shop, and

settled on 117 W. Main St. be-cause it appeared to have themost foot traffic.

That held true on Thurs-day as a steady stream of cus-tomers bought cupcakes.

Angelica Cataldo of Hunt-ley, and Jesse Garner of Au-rora, each ate a cupcake fromthe store on the First StreetPlaza.

“Their cupcakes are a lotsweeter and a lot bigger thanI’ve ever seen,” Cataldo said.“I was quite satisfied.”

Trial set for January inBataviamurder case

By ERIC [email protected]

A jury trial is still set tobegin on Jan. 12 for a womancharged in a stabbing death atthe Batavia Apartments com-plex.

Latoya Baines, 27, wholived at the Batavia Apart-ments complex on East Wil-son Street atthe time of thestabbing, wascharged withtwo counts offirst -degreem u r d e r i nthe April 30,2012, stabbingdeath of Chi-cago residentGerald J. Jackson, 25. Policesaid the stabbing was the re-sult of a domestic dispute.

Baines had a court appear-ance on Thursday. A statushearing on the case is set forOct. 15.

Kane County Judge SusanClancy Boles recently ruledagainst a motion by Baines’defense attorney that her cli-ent didn’t understand her Mi-randa rights before being in-terviewed by Batavia police.

Baines’ defense attorney,Sandra Byrd, had filed a mo-tion seeking to suppress evi-dence obtained through four

interviews Batavia police hadwith Baines. During the inter-views, Baines told police shehad a knife in her hand, butdid not confess to the murder,Kane County Assistant State’sAttorney Christine Bayer hadsaid.

Batavia Police DetectiveKevin Bretz had testifiedBaines told him she was bipo-lar after she was told she wasbeing charged with first-de-gree murder. Police respond-ing to the initial incident in2012 found two women, one ofthem Baines, struggling witheach other at the bottom of astairwell. Officers said theylater found three knives inthe hallway where the womenhad been struggling.

“Evidence in this casepoints to [Baines] being inpossession of three knives be-fore the stabbing of Jackson,and being in possession of oneknife at the time that Jacksonwas stabbed,” according tocourt records.

After conducting a field in-vestigation, police said theywere able to determine the in-cident occurred as a result of adomestic dispute between thevictim and Baines.

Baines remains in theKane County Jail on a $750,000bail. She has been in custodyfor more than 800 days.

Sheriff expands drugdrop-off to SugarGrove, PingreeGrove

By BRENDA [email protected]

ST. CHARLES TOWN-SHIP – Kane County SheriffPat Perez announced a newpartnership with the policedepartments in Sugar Groveand Pingree Grove to provideprescription drug drop-offboxes at both of the police de-partments.

Perez made the announce-ment of the expansion of itsdrug drop-off program Thurs-day after the opening of anew shooting range. SugarGrove Police Chief Pat Roll-ins and Pingree Police ChiefCarol Lussky joined Perez atthe announcement.

“We have agreed to a part-nership ... to expand the out-reach for people to have theability to take their unusedor unwanted prescriptionmeds to properly dispose ofthem,” Perez said.

While the sheriff’s officehas a disposal box for allcounty residents to use, Pe-rez said bringing the serviceto the far north and southends of the county bringsthe service to them, ratherthan expecting them to cometo the center of the countyto dispose of prescriptiondrugs.

“When you get to the farreaches of the county ... it’snot as convenient for thepeople who live there. So wethought this is a case of in-stead of expecting them tocome to use, let’s go to them,”Perez said.

Perez said the announce-ment follows the Drug En-forcement Administration’sNational Prescription DrugTake-Back Day from 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. Saturday, so theboxes will be in place to servetheir residents.

“If you follow the reasonfor the heroin epidemic inthis area – in Kane, DuPageand Cook [counties] – a goodmajority of the people whobecome addicted start byabusing prescription meds,”Perez said.

People who have leftoverpain medicines should notflush them, but should availthemselves of the drug drop-offs, Perez said.

With the introduction ofthe county’s drop-off boxesin Sugar Grove and PingreeGrove, county residentswill not have to wait for thesemi-annual DEA drop-offevent, nor will they have todrive to the sheriff’s office,Perez said.

Kane County evidencetechnicians will be respon-sible for installing the boxesand picking up the dropped-off drugs, Perez said. Thedrugs then are picked up bythe DEA and destroyed, hesaid.

Residents who drop offdrugs will not have to pro-vide paperwork for a transac-tion, Perez said, comparingthe drug drop-off to being aseasy as dropping letter in amail box.

Rollins said it will reducecounty residents’ exposure tohaving excess drugs in theirhomes while waiting for thetwice-a-year DEA drug drop-off event.

“The nice thing is, it willgo from two times a year fordropping off prescriptiondrugs to year-round, everyday,” Rollins said. “Theywon’t have to wait ... theywill have an avenue to dropit off that day.”

Perez said the purchase ofthe drug drop boxes is cov-ered by forfeited money fromarrested drug dealers.

“The nice thing is, it will go from two times a year fordropping off prescription drugs to year-round, everyday. They won’t have to wait ... they will have an

avenue to drop it off that day.”

Batavia School District 101 to upgrade websiteBy ERIC SCHELKOPF

[email protected]

BATAVIA – Batavia School

District 101 officials want to

put a fresh face on the dis-

trict’s website.

“Our website is kind of old,”

Tony Inglese, the district’s

chief information officer, told

School Board members Tues-

day. “Our website was not de-

signed for mobile devices. We

need the website to work with

all devices. We want to develop

a website that really connects

with people in a meaningful

way.”

The website, www.bps101.

net, is 3 years old, and its cur-

rent structure and design is

inflexible, he said.

Sue Gillerlain, the district’s

communications manager,

said the district wants to make

the website as user-friendly as

it can be.

As part of the planning pro-

cess for a new website, the dis-

trict will conduct focus groups

with parents, students, staff

and community members to

find out what they want.

“We want users to be able to

THE WASHINGTON POST

The students who editthe newspaper at Nesham-iny High School think thenickname of their Pennsyl-vania school’s sports teamsis racist. They banned itsuse on their pages, a stancein keeping with that takenon the national scene bythose (including us) whoobject to Washington’s iden-tically named pro footballteam.

You would think youngpeople engaging with animportant social issue andstanding up for somethingthey believe in would beappreciated, even applaud-ed. Instead, school officialssuspended the newspaper’seditor, sanctioned the ad-viser and fined the organi-zation.

“It is one of the mostcontroversial issues inNeshaminy’s history. It isa topic that no one wants todiscuss, but one that needs

to be discussed,” begins athoughtful editorial lastOctober in the Playwickianexplaining “why we refuseto publish ‘The R-Word.’ ” Abattle with school admin-istrators ensued, comingto a head when officialstold students they couldn’tpublish a letter with “R-------” but must use the completeword. Instead, the studentsran a block of white space,which, an editors’ noteexplained, “represents ourresolve to maintain ourrights as editors and ourdetermination to eliminatediscrimination.”

School administrators,who didn’t respond to ourinquiries, removed Gillian

McGoldrick from her post aseditor in chief for a month,suspended without pay fortwo days newspaper adviserTara Huber (who in Junehad been named JournalismTeacher of the Year by thestate school press associa-tion) and docked $1,200 fromits student activity fund.

People may differ onwhether the school’s sportsmoniker – like that of Wash-ington’s team – is offensive,but there should be nodisagreement about journal-ists exercising their rights.In Neshaminy, it is the stu-dents who are behaving likegrown-ups. We admire theircommitment to stand up forwhat they think is right.

WRITE TO US

I’m not big on football, maybebecause in middle school ourcoach, a 300-pound ex-Marine,demonstrated how to block byusing me as a dummy.

“This is how it’s done,Holinger. Get up here.” He wentinto his mountainous three-pointstance opposite me, his weaseleyes full of anger and disappoint-ment. “On hut-three,” he orderedthe center.

After hearing “hut-three,”I was airborne for a good fiveminutes, landing a block away,breathless, but knowing how toblock: You pretend the playeracross from you is your middleschool football coach, and youwant to send him to Montana.

So I understand why NFLplayers, when irked, mightprove violent. In fact, so manyNFL football players haveallegedly committed hands-onor sticks-on acts of aggressionagainst women and childrenthat they could practically fieldtheir own team.

But what to call themselves?Surely they’d pick a name denot-ing their unique talent: roaring,clawing, out-of-control behavior.Maybe the Chargers? Oh, wait,that’s taken. The Bears? Nope.Lions? Oops. Vikings? Sorry.

I get it. Most NFL team nameshighlight animals that frequent-ly threaten or take human lives;or encourage Neanderthal-weakmindsets reminiscent of pil-laging, rape and other acts ofbarbarism.

So why are we shocked –shocked! – when hearing someof the NFL’s best have ruth-lessly attacked weaker familymembers? Lions and Bears andSteelers (cold, heartless, impene-trable), oh, my!

I’m no lawyer (although Iplay one in my column), but I’mthinking this new team deservesto be called the San QuentinSanitizers, befitting their newvenue – mopping common roomtile, lidless toilets and curtainlessshower stalls.

The national media has glom-med onto the reprobates’ stories,leading nightly newscasts withNFL updates, thus relegating

minor world issues such as theEbola crisis and the war on ISISto filler fun. Better to engageMonday morning quarterbackswho can quote jersey numbersas easily as the Dow’s.

Other ironies proliferate:• Vikings’ player Adrian

Peterson used a switch on hisson because he allegedly pushedanother of Peterson’s sons whileplaying a video game. Nothinglike punishing violence withviolence to send a message.

• Peterson apparently dis-ciplined his son the same wayhis own father disciplined himand didn’t intend to hurt hisson. Nothing like passing on atreasured family tradition.

• “I’m from the South,” formerNBA player Charles Barkleysaid on Sunday, reacting to for-mer NFL quarterback BoomerEsiason’s criticism of Peterson.“Whipping – we do that all thetime.” “You know, when I wasa kid, parents whupped you,”actress Whoopi Goldberg saidon “The View.” “They hit you.They took a switch to you. Theykicked your behind, and thatwas that.”

Nothing like using the sev-enth-grade excuse when caughtpulling a girl’s hair, “Everyonedoes it.”

Oh, well, at least we have oneNFL team whose name reflectsa positive, spiritually upliftingstyle of play; too bad not all NFLplayers can be Saints.

By KEVIN [email protected]

GENEVA – Imagining a line ofscrimmage underneath him,Geneva senior Jack McCloughan

positioned himself as a tight end and

defensive end in brief intervals.

“Besides how you align your feet,

there’s not much difference,” Mc-

Cloughan said. “You still have to react

fast and you have to think in tough

situations. And just getting off the ball,

all-around, quickly is good.”

McCloughan and classmate Brock

Perry, a wide receiver turned safety,

transitioned from offense to defense

before the season. Through four weeks,

they’ve made it look as seamless as

McCloughan makes it sound, much

to the delight of the unbeaten Geneva

football team.

Both McCloughan and Perry have

roots as defensive players at lower

levels. McCloughan shifted to offense

after his sophomore season, with Perry

clearing a path one year earlier.

That background ultimately has

helped steer both players to success as

part of an overall defensive overhaul. It

also eased coach Rob Wicinski’s trepi-

dation about shaking up the program’s

depth charts once more.

The impetus was simple: “We need-

ed to put more athletes on the other

side of the ball,” Wicinski said. Geneva

allowed 301 points in 10 games in 2013.

In 2012, it was 286 in nine.

Given their versatility and the

weapons surrounding Northern Illi-

nois-bound senior quarterback Daniel

Santacaterina, McCloughan and Perry

emerged as prime candidates for a

return to ‘D.’

“We tried to up the ante,” Wicinski

said. “In the day, I’d get the quarter-

back and I’d get the tailback. Every-

body else was fair game. Well, I got a

little stingy as the years rolled on, so

I kind of said, ‘All right, I get these

two, you guys pick and choose.’ And so

those are two very good athletes that

we’ve got on the opposite side of the

ball.”

Geneva needed their instincts

during a visit from defending Class

6A runner-up Richards in Week 2.

Bulldogs senior quarterback Hasan

Muhammad-Rogers threatened to give

Wicinski and defensive coordinator

Frank Martin fits with his shiftiness

and comfort in Richards’ spread

scheme.

Threatened. Nothing more.

Led by defensive linemen Matt

Loberg and Stephen Kemp, the Vi-

kings sacked Muhammad-Rogers five

times while limiting the Bulldogs to 90

rushing yards on 38 carries. Geneva’s

fleet of quick linebackers and defensive

backs remained in position as the Vi-

kings stayed the course for a 22-19 win.

“It helps a lot, especially when we

have people that are equally as good at

the same position, so you can switch

people in and out and keep legs fresh

and have people just flying to the ball

and making plays,” Perry said.

That last part illustrates why

Wicinski and Co. shook up personnel.

Admittedly a “neanderthal” for his

penchant for two-back offensive sets

and keeping the ground game churn-

ing, Wicinski noticed the way many

colleagues were moving toward spread

attacks in recent seasons.

It looks as if there’s evolution afoot.

The Vikings have surrendered just 67

points through four games, and did not

allow a touchdown against previously

unbeaten St. Charles North until 9:38

remained in last week’s Upstate Eight

Conference River Division showdown,

a 31-13 Geneva win.

“We needed to put more athletes on

the other side of the ball. We just kind

of neglected that over the last three

or four years, five years, you know,”

Wicinski said. “We really haven’t had a

defense that could really do a whole lot.

And you hear it all the time, the cliche

of offense wins games, defense wins

championships. So we’re going to test

this sucker out, see what’s going on.”

ST. CHARLES NORTH (3-1, 1-1 UPSTATE EIGHT

CONFERENCE RIVER) AT BATAVIA (3-1, 2-0)7:30 P.M. TODAY

KCCHRONICLE.COM/PREPS GAME OF THE WEEK

The buzz in the standsFrom the homebleachers: Can our Bulldogs

complete a St. Charles sweep, and howmuchcloserwill this gamebe?From the visitor’s bleachers: Can our North

Stars rev it up again and get back on thatearly-season run?

The marquee matchupFilmbuff Dennis Piron, Batavia’s fourth-year

coach, analyzed video of theNorth Stars’Week4 loss toGeneva, saying just a handful of playskept the Vikings’ 31-13win from “being playeddead-even.”The difference, in Piron’s view: Geneva

struck for someopportunistic pass plays early,sandwiched around Pace Temple’s interceptionreturn for a touchdown.Led by highly-recruited defensive end

Jordan Bergren and outside linebacker JackCallaghan, North’s defense held serve in keyspots. It mustmaintain that intensity through-out against a versatile Batavia attack thatnow has running back Blake Crowder healthyalongside quarterbacks Evan Acosta and KyleNiemiec.“They’ve got an awfully big offensive line that

is big and physical,” North Stars coach RobPomazak said. “But you also have to respect thefact that they’re extremely balanced. Normally,

you just have to prepare for one quarterback,but nowyou have to prepare for two, and bothof thembring something to the table.””

The X-factorPiron sees great potential fromNorth’s

attack, namely in athletic quarterback KyleNovotney, who he called “like a really elusiverunning back at the quarterback position.”With Dom Sidari (back) out, North will havejunior Jake Spaniol and recent sophomorecall-up Eric Lins in the backfield. After a strongsecond half against Geneva, sophomoreTyler Mettetal joins senior Nathan Didier as aweapon in the passing game.“That read option game and inverted veer,

that kind of stuff can cause you a lot of prob-lems,” Piron said. “We’re doingwhatwe can doto prepare against it.”

Best-case scenario for theNorth StarsWhether it’s Acosta or Niemiec under center,

North’s front sevenmakes life uncomfortablefor the Bulldogs and neutralizes Batavia’svauntedDog Pound cheering sectionwhen itcan.Building on thatmomentum, theNorth Stars

gain an advantage at the line of scrimmagewhen they have the ball as they take care of thefootball and keepNovotney clean.

“Obviously, Batavia is a great football team,and this is a tough stretch in our schedule,”Pomazak said, “butwe got back on the practicefield after Geneva and started to fix somemistakes thatwe knewwecould.”

Best-case scenario for the BulldogsBatavia picks up where it left off against

The Pride of the Fox’s other team, buildingfrom last week’s 40-7 win at St. CharlesEast and keeping a comfortable cushionbefore a vocal home crowd.Alongwith their array of formations, the Bull-

dogs unleash a fewmore tricks to keepNorthdefenders guessing – andmoving.“We’re excited about the opportunity,” Piron

said. “They’re coming to our place andwe’relooking forward to a very a good footballgame.”

Kevin Druley’s prediction:Batavia 28, St. Charles North 16Batavia’s front seven brings the athleticism

and aggressiveness tomatchNorth’s, and itssteady play keeps theNorth Stars fromconvert-ing a fewpromising drives into touchdowns.TheNorth Stars limit theirmistakes, but the

Bulldogs are evenmore secure, holding serveat home for the 11th straight time in conferenceplay.

PREP FOOTBALL WEEK 5 PREVIEW CAPSULES

St. Charles East (1-3, 1-1 UpstateEight Conference River Division) at

Streamwood (1-3, 1-1), 7:30 p.m. todayLast week’s results: St. Charles East lost to

Batavia, 40-7; Streamwood beat Larkin, 27-21The skinny: East aims to avoid a frustrating

pattern that surfaced again in its loss toBatavia. “It’s the same old story for us again,you know,” Saints coach Bryce Farquhar said.“We hang for a half and then a little bit later.Then we kind of go downhill. But we madesome adjustments to our practice this week,so hopefully that’ll get us over the hump.”The Saints have seen steady developmentfrom a pair of recent sophomore promotions,slot wide receiver Justin Galante and safetySebastian Grohe.Extra point: The Saints’ point spreads

through four weeks are 35, 29, 40 and 33points. East has not won or lost by singledigits since a 28-21 victory against St.Charles North in Week 3 of last season.

Elgin (0-4, 0-2 UEC River) at Geneva(4-0, 2-0), 7:30 p.m. today

Last week’s results: Elgin lost at WestChicago, 32-12; Geneva defeated St. CharlesNorth, 31-13The skinny: Vikings coach Rob Wicinski

realizes his team is unbeaten against U-46foes in the four-plus seasons of the UECRiver. He also knows that streak was in perillast season, when Larkin pushed Geneva tothe brink in an eventual 41-34 win on theroad. “I’m hoping that we’re just able tocome out and take care of our business andhave a good, businesslike approach to thisgame,” Wicinski said. “But you never know.That’s why they play them.”Extra point:Geneva senior running back Liam

Burns (hamstring) is expected to return for hisfirst action sinceWeek 1. He experienced a latesetback in his recovery lastweek.

DeKalb (4-0, 1-0 Northern Illinois Big 12East) at Kaneland (2-2, 0-1),

7:15 p.m. todayLast week’s results: DeKalb won

a shootout against Sycamore, 55-40;Kaneland lost at Yorkville, 41-25

The skinny: Second-year Barbs coachMatt Weckler nearly steered Belvidere toa first-round playoff upset of Kaneland in2011. Knights counterpart Tom Fedderly stillremembers exhaling with a 51-45 win, andknows DeKalb brings a similar approachto Weckler’s offensive scheme. “Theyspread the field and they’ve got some quickathletes,” Fedderly said. “So they put a lotof pressure on the defense coming up andmaking tackles in the open field. Yeah, it’sa big challenge.” The Knights welcomedsenior Isaac Swithers (knee) back to thelineup against Yorkville, as he rushed 13times for 44 yards and two touchdowns.Swithers did not play at free safety lastweek. “That just kind of depends on how heprogresses,” Fedderly said.Extra point: Kaneland is 4-0 against

DeKalb since Northern Illinois Big 12 Eastplay began in 2010, flexing its offensivemuscle each time. The scores: 42-7, 49-38,66-23 and 35-12.

18 GIRLS SWIMMING: ST. CHARLES EAST 103, ST. CHARLES NORTH 82

Saints enjoy ‘huge confidence boost’ with winByDEREKWOLFF

[email protected]

ST. CHARLES – Amid a seaof pink-clad supporters insideSt. Charles East’s Norris Center,Saints girls swimmer JordanMorling pulled away from thecompetition in the third leg ofthe 400-yard freestyle relay.

Trailing after the first quar-ter-turn, East’sA team relaypicked up thepace to comehome in 3:37.06,b e s t i n g S t .Charles North’sA-team time of3:42.99.

With the win,Morling, AmyPearson, IzzieHerb and AnnaO’Malley helpedput the finish-ing touches onEast’s 103-82 winin the dual meet,with East’s ju-nior varsity also

winning, 105-78, over its friendlyrivals.

The girls swam in front ofa large crowd wearing pinkT-shirts in support of breastcancer awareness, with Octoberright around the corner.

With the schools so closein proximity, naturally somelongtime friendships have beenforged between the competitorson both sides.

Pearson said the atmosphereand the relationships with theopposition made the thrill ofwinning even better.

“It’s so exciting, it’s so fun,”Pearson said. “I love all thecheers that we do and the par-ents get so into it. There’s noth-ing like it, I love it. We’re justreally happy because the Northpeople are really good friendswith us, so it’s really fun tocome to a meet and swim withour friends and all the fans. Weknow that after this meet goodthings are coming, definitely.”

Despite coming out on thelosing end, there were plentyof positives for North to takehome.

The North Stars won the200 free relay with a combined

time of 1:38.71 from JillianWaslawski, Grace Samuelson,Monica Guyett and AudreyGuyett.

They did so in thrilling fash-ion, besting the Saints’ A-team’s1:39.05 in a race that went rightdown to the wire between Mon-ica Guyett and Pearson.

North coach Rob Rooneywasn’t concerned about the lossin a dual meet and was lookingforward to having a few weeksoff to train after North takes onFenwick on Saturday.

“I’m really not overly wor-ried about dual meets rightnow,” Rooney said. “We’vekind of got a little bit of a differ-ent vibe and perspective goingright now; we’re not trying topreserve a dual meet win. We’retrying to paint our picture forthe end the right way. We didn’tcome in here and light the worldup. We came in here like littlewarriors, tired, beat up and we

moved on.”North won the diving por-

tion of the meet, 40-38, whilethe Guyett sisters took the acco-lades in a variety of events.

Monica Guyett won the 200free with a 1:54.79, edging outPearson at 1:55.14 and O’Malleyat 2:02.17.

Later she would clip Pear-son again in the 500 free with a5:04.60.

Audrey Guyett won the 200individual medley with ease,cruising to a six-second win overHerb behind a time of 2:07.46.

But East was able to capturethe 100 butterfly as Morlingedged out Audrey Guyett, whileHerb won the 100 backstroke.

With a number of girls com-peting in relays for both sides,East coach Joe Cabel said thatthe 800 meters his girls swamwas nothing compared to the8,000 they do in practice.

That conditioning paid off in

what Cabel saw as a good test forhis side.

“It’s a focus moment,” Ca-bel said. “In school, we talkabout formative assessmentsand you’re working on certainthings to improve and improveand improve. Then you have asummative assessment. Northwas a summative assessmentfor us tonight. In practice before,we made some errors. We didn’tmake those errors tonight.”

East senior Katie Nagler wonthe 100 free in 54:16 to edge outSamuelson’s 55:46.

Afterward, she reflected onthe victory and the legacy she’shelped create in her four years.

“It means so much becausefor the past four years we’vebeen an undefeated team hereat St. Charles East,” Nagler said.“Going against North, we’re soclose, I feel, to the swimmers andtimes-wise, so it was definitelymore intense and we were moreanxious about it. But having thiswin means the world to us. Justto say, this is it, this is probablyone of the hardest meets of theseason and the fact that we wereable to pull through it is a hugeconfidence boost for myself andeveryone else on my team.”

East will have a week off be-fore getting back in the pool Oct.2 at Neuqua Valley.

ST. CHARLES – St. CharlesEast boys soccer made sureit was going to earn a berthto the title match of its tour-nament Thursday afternoonwith a 2-0 victory against Mar-mion in pool play.

The Saints will face Glen-bard North at noon Saturdayfor the title. Before that match,Marmion will face Elgin forthird place at 10 a.m.

“I thought we played pret-ty well,” Saintssenior forwardZach Manibogsaid. “We hada lot of goodmovement offt h e b a l l a n dwith the ball,I felt. We didcreate a lot ofchances to scoretoday. We didcome out flat inthe first half,but we foundourselves push-ing forward alot more in the

second half.”Manibog was

not kidding. While the Saintsoutshot the Cadets, 5-1, in theopening half, they could notsolve the defensive stance ofthe Cadets and junior goal-keeper Matt Fletcher (foursaves).

For as sluggish as theSaints performed in the open-ing 40 minutes of play, the Ca-dets were able to hang aroundand get some ball movementin the middle of the field. Butthat is where it ended for Mar-mion, which could not mus-ter much else in the offensivezone.

“Every game we play in isimportant,” Manibog said. “Itjust gets us more playing timetogether and more in-gameexperience. I am looking for-ward to being in the title gameSaturday.”

The Saints began theirmarch to the title game whenManibog scored from fouryards out off a pass from se-

nior midfielder Jordan Moore,who controlled a loose balldeep in the Cadets’ penaltyarea and sent a pass back toManibog, who would send aright-footed shot past Fletcherand into the Cadets net with12:58 left in regulation time forthe 1-0 advantage.

The Saints upped theirlead to 2-0 just more than sixminutes later when juniormidfielder Evan DiLeonardiscored off a right-footed shotfrom 14 yards out, beatingFletcher to his right with 6:48left to play.

“Strategically, we wereprepared for this game despiteplaying with only 13 playersbecause of injuries,” Cadetscoach Ricky Del Toro said.“We did counterattack well inthe first half. But I think fa-tigue caught up with us in thesecond half.”

“I think today we playedabout 40 of the 80 minutes wewere supposed to play today,”Saints coach Paul Jennisonsaid. “I think the first half, wegot bullied around a lot. But inthe second half, we executeda lot better. Hopefully, Satur-day we can get a win and giveour lads a bit of confidence go-ing into conference play nextweek.”

20 KANE COUNTY COUGARS NOTEBOOK

Grace’s influencemay be in Geneva ... or notBy KEVIN DRULEY

[email protected]

Cougars fans itching so say“Grace” would be wise to in-ternalize another virtue first.

Patience, people.With the Cougars and Ari-

zona Diamondbacks announc-ing Wednesday a two-yearplayer-development contractthrough 2016, D’backs farmdirector Mike Bell acknowl-edged Mark Grace might beticketed for a Class-A manage-rial job next season.

Bell also was clear theformer longtime Cubs firstbaseman boasted an enviableceiling, and may even be tar-geted by another organization.Grace served as hitting coachfor Arizona’s Short-A affiliateHillsboro (Oregon) Hops in2014, helping the club win theNorthwest League title.

“He can do a lot of differ-ent things,” Bell said. “We’retalking about a guy that was avery good Major League play-er. He’s been an outstandingcoach for us. He could certain-ly be in Kane County, he couldbe at Triple-A, he could beon somebody’s Major Leaguestaff.”

Grace, 50, spent 13 of his16 big league seasons withthe Cubs before finishing hiscareer with the D’backs, withwhom he won the 2001 WorldSeries.

Once his playing careerended, Grace served as theD’backs’ TV color analyst foreight-plus seasons, but gainedattention for the wrong rea-sons earlier this decade by ac-cumulating two DUI chargesin 15 months.

He entered coaching in 2013and worked extensively withArizona hitters across all lev-els during 2014 spring train-ing.

“I think there’s going to beMajor League teams lookingat Mark,” Bell said. “He’s com-mitted himself to coaching.He’s done it at the lowest lev-els. He’s a hard worker. I thinkwhen other teams pick up onthat – guys willing to go backand work their butt off – thoseguys don’t usually last long inthe minor leagues.”

Keep playing: Similarly, Bellcalled attempting to project

which D’backs prospects windup in Kane County to begin2015 a far from scientific un-dertaking.

To be sure, several Hills-boro players figure to breakcamp with the Cougars giventhe natural progression fromShort-A to Class-A, but inde-pendent league tryouts, springtraining and several other fac-tors all will play roles in thenext few months.

“We’re constantly tryingto make our organization thebest it can be,” Bell said. “It’sextremely hard. While wehave projections on the boardof where players are going to,if we’re 25 percent correct,we’re ahead of the game.”

A pair of Illinoisans wereon the Hops’ roster at the endof the regular season. Leydenand Park Ridge product DanSavas, a 6-foot-5, 241-poundright-hander, would be notice-able regardless of his home-town. Outfielder Jordan Parris from downstate Chillicothe.

Through Thursday, theD’backs (63-96) had the worstrecord in the majors, whichwould put the organization inline for the No. 1 pick in theJune 2015 draft.

“You never know,” Cougarsgeneral manager Curtis Haugsaid. “That person could endup here. .. We might benefitfrom that here in the future.”

The affiliate shuffle: Haugagreed the past 10 days havebeen a “whirlwind.” TheCougars, then aligned withthe Cubs, capped a 98-49 sea-son and won the MidwestLeague championship Sept.13. Five days later, the Cubsannounced they were leavingGeneva for a four-year PDCwith South Bend, which offi-cially changed its nicknamefrom Silver Hawks to Cubs onThursday.

Packing their lockers Sept.15, the Cougars spoke withoutknowledge of the movementsafoot.

With respect to the organi-zation and Fifth Third BankBallpark in Geneva, their gazeremained fixed on ascendingto the next level of the Cubs’minor league system in 2015.

Whether they played in Ge-neva or South Bend, the nextbatch of Class-A Cubs wouldhave enjoyed a proximity tothe parent team that’s rare inthe minors. Cougars first base-man Jacob Rogers, a native of

Clearwater, Florida, visitedWrigley Field for the first timethis season. The Cubs draftedhim in 2012.

“It was great to go see thatatmosphere and stuff like that,and know that’s what we’reworking toward,” Rogers said.“We want to get there. Ev-erybody in this clubhouse, Imean, that’s one of our goalsis to make it to the big leaguesand play at Wrigley.”

With South Bend in theMidwest League’s Eastern Di-vision and the Cougars in theWest, Cubs farmhands willplay in Geneva sparingly inthe near-term.

The Cougars visit SouthBend for separate three-gamesseries in 2015 and 2017, withSouth Bend returning the fa-vor in 2016 and 2018.

Silver anniversary on tap: Ar-izona follows the BaltimoreOrioles, Florida (now Miami)Marlins, Oakland Athletics,Kansas City Royals and Cubsas Cougars parent teams sincethe club began play in Genevain 1991.

Expect reminiscences fromevery era when the Cougarscelebrate their 25th anniversa-ry season in 2015.

“There’s a lot to look for-ward to,” Haug said. “We ap-preciate all the fan supportand we appreciate all the peo-ple who are part of Cougarsbaseball. It’s going to be an ex-citing year for us next year.”

The first in a series of ma-jor planning meetings is set formid-October.

“It’ll be the busiest offsea-son the Cougars have everhad,” Cougars owner BobFroehlich said.

From Saints to Snakes:Wayne Randazzo (2002) andMatt Reynolds (2003) aren’tterribly far removed fromtheir St. Charles East gradu-ations.

These days, they’re work-ing within the same big leagueorganization.

Randazzo will enter hisfourth season as the Cougarsradio broadcaster in 2015,while Reynolds, a left-hand-ed reliever, looks to return toform after missing this seasonafter Tommy John elbow sur-gery in September 2013.

Randazzo previously calledgames for a D’backs affiliatewhen he worked with the Dou-ble-A Mobile (Alabama) BayBears from 2008 to 2011.

1421PACKERS AT BEARS, NOON SUNDAY,

FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM

No need for history lessonBy KEVIN FISHBAIN

[email protected]

LAKE FOREST – It’s Packersweek, so it’s time to harp on JayCutler’s struggles against thePackers.

“I don’t know what it is,”Cutler responded to a questionabout his record vs. Green Bay(it’s 1-8), “I know it’s not a win-ning record.”

Packers defensive coordina-tor Dom Capers has had Cutler’snumber over the years, and itextends one game past the Pack-ers-Bears rivalry. When Caperswas a secondary coach in NewEngland and Cutler the quarter-back in Denver, the Patriots in-tercepted Cutler twice in a 41-7win in 2008.

“I mean, there’s a few wrin-kles here and there, personnelhas just changed a little bit, youknow that you’re going to getsome different looks and they’regoing to spin it and show youdifferent blitzes and differentcoverages so he does a good jobof mixing it up,” Cutler said ofCapers’ defenses.

Offensive coordinator AaronKromer said Capers’ defensesare generally sound in tech-nique and gap responsbility,and that the third-down defensemakes it especially challengingfor offenses.

“Their corners, their nickelreally carry the receivers tightlyand you have to make accuratethrows on third down to movethe chains,” he said. “The No. 1thing for this game is to makesure we can continue drives andadvance on third down.”

For competitive reasons,Marc Trestman wouldn’t go intodetail on what he expects to seefrom Capers, knowing the Pack-ers’ defensive mind’s historyagainst Cutler.

“It’s always challenging toplay against him. The thingshe brings, not only front struc-ture, which sometimes thingsappear to be simpler than theyare. They’re very well coached,”Trestman said.

Cutler could hang his hat onhow he played in his only gameagainst Capers with the Trest-man offense, obviously a vastlydifferent group than he had inprevious meetings with GreenBay. In Week 17 last season,Cutler completed 15-of-24 passes

for 226 yards, two touchdownsand one interception. His passerrating of 103.8 was a career-bestagainst the Packers.

When Cutler said the teamdoesn’t “really worry aboutwhat happened in the past,” hemay have been referring moreto the pre-Trestman gamesagainst Capers’ Packers. Still,he’ll focus on what he can doSunday to finally get a winagainst Green Bay.

“We worry about today, wehad a good practice today,” hesaid. “Tomorrow we’ll take careof tomorrow, which is red zonefor us. Saturday and Sundaywill come and we’ll do the bestthat we can in that moment.”

of good doubles teams, and ifthey played their best tennisand we didn’t play well, thenwe certainly could drop a fewmatches.”

Scouts honor

Hats off to Fred Norris whorecently took the ice bucketchallenge for ALS.

I smiled as did many otherswho appreciate a generousgesture given by a good sport.Sometimes there is just theright touch to promote furtherparticipation.

No! No! No! I am not vol-unteering. No, I am not as oldas Fred, but he is much betterpreserved. If put on the spotI might consider a pie-in-theface for polio or a don’t text anddrive sign on my wheelchair ... .

Fred recounted the sufferingfrom ALS that his and Lee’ssister Joy experienced. Twoimages emerged for me: allthose walks together up the hillto school and Girl Scouts.

So many of my St. CharlesHigh School ’56-ers knew Joyfrom the first days at EvanShelby School. Those living intown had no bus ride, so therewas a special link with walk-ing buddies. Joy and I werebottom-of-the-hill climbers foryears. At the same time, welinked up as did many in GirlScout Troop 21.

Aside from the fun, march-ing in parades and campfireghost stories from our leader,Grace Norris, one importantlesson emerged. Aside fromlearning to be good citizensat home, school and church– we actually took a pledge! –words such as honor, duty andhelping others took on a freshimpact.

As the political campaignsshift into high gear, wouldn’t itbe something if each redundant

ad or bothersome phone call oryard sign contained a “Scout’sHonor”?

Speaking of Scouts, the goodnews is that through the effortsof volunteers and a supportivecommunity young people withstrong values and integritycontinue to emerge.

Here’s a wonderful exam-ple: This summer in Batavia,several young men earned theultimate honor and becameEagle Scouts.

Brandon Ayersman took ona challenging project to restoreand update the parks aroundhis former elementary school,Louise White.

Working with the parkdistrict and a crew of morethan 40 volunteers, he put in148 hours and used 20 trucks ofmulch to accomplish the task –a combination of imagination,resolve, hard work and lead-ership are attributes that hehas carried on to college in theengineering school at North-western University.

A salute to Brandon andfive others from Troop 12 inBatavia.

Teach Your Child toLove Reading with

Faith Christian Academy

By Michelle Diamond

For some children, learning

how to read to can be a strug-

gle. Reading can become a chore

rather than an adventure with

a big red dog or other lovable

childhood characters.

So how do you get your child

to read, not just as homework,

but to love reading? How do you

help your child to form a lifelong

relationship with books?

Parents can help their chil-

dren to enjoy reading by mak-

ing sure books are a constant,

positive force in their child’s

everyday life. Reading with your

child every day will help develop

lifelong readers.

1. Read aloud with enthusi-

asm and animation, changing

your voice inflections frequent-

ly.

2. Use your index finger to

sweep under the words. This

trains the child’s eye to read

from left to right.

3. Explore different types of

reading with your child. Echo

reading is when the parent

reads a short passage and the

child repeats it. Partner reading

is when you and your child take

turns reading out loud to each

other.

4. Make a book chain. When

you or your child reads a book,

write the title on a strip of col-

ored paper. Each book would

add a link in a chain of previous-

ly read books.

5. Record your child reading,

and play the recording back.

6. Plan a reading night or

reading hour when everyone in

the family spends time reading

without distractions. Modeling

this behavior will reinforce the

fact that reading is important to

your family.

“The more that you read, the

more things you will know. The

more you learn, the more plac-

es you’ll go.”— Dr. Seuss, “I Can

Read With My Eyes Shut!”

1427WHEELS

Subaru’s mission in the UnitedStates includes more than reliableall-wheel-drive sedans and sport utilitycrossovers. It also has the rear-wheel-drive BRZ coupe and a sport stablematein the WRX.

Like the Legacy and Impreza but un-like the BRZ, the WRX is a sedan withall-wheel-drive. It is the company’s flag-ship sport sedan and can be equippedwith the company’s STI performanceingredients. A 2015 edition of the STImodel was delivered for a week of testdriving.

On the exterior, the WRX STI is asplendid example of what a compactsport sedan should look like from thedefined air scoop on the rounded hoodto the exaggerated foot-tall spoiler atthe rear. That spoiler helps lift the3,388-pound sedan through sharp turnsat fast speeds. At each of the rear cor-ners are twin alloy tailpipe exhausts.Front fenders are creased and squared-off. The 18-inch aluminum alloy wheelsare supported by five sharp-lookingV-spokes. The ride is relatively hard asSubaru wants occupants “to feel” theroad.

The spoiler helps stability by creat-ing downforce at high speeds, the hoodscoop channels air into the turbo’sintercoolers and the fender bulges addairflow to cool the Brembo brakes.

The STI has Subaru’s iconic boxerengine (two banks of flat pistonshorizontally opposed to each other),but the tweaking of the turbocharged,305-horsepower, four-cylinder whilematched to a six-speed manual trans-mission results in a road rocket. ThisSTI has been tested at 0 to 60 miles perhour in 4.7 seconds. It also has beenbraked, in factory and auto media tests,from 60 mph to 0 in 107 feet. The six-speed transmission has hill-start assist,which is nice when idling on an inclinein tight traffic and preparing to shiftinto first gear.

Since the tested WRX was a top-of-the-line $38,495 STI Limited modelthere were fog lights in front and fourexhaust tips in the rear; Xenon inplace of halogen headlamps; a powerglass sunroof; and the aluminum alloyspokes for the 18-inch wheels, other-wise wheels are 17-inch. WRX pricesbegin at $26,295 and end with the STILimited’s $38,495, but options can raisethat price. The navigation systemand keyless entry, for example, on thetested STI Limited cost an additional$1,500. That option package replaceda six-speaker sound system with anine-speaker, 440-watt, harmon-kardon

system. The audio system, whetherwith six or nine speakers, includesAM-FM-satellite radio, single compactdisc player, auxiliary input jack, iPodcapability, USB port and Bluetoothhands-free calling and audio stream-ing, iTunes tagging and an auxiliaryinput jack.

Big tickets on the STI besides theengine, are the foot-tall spoiler; the22-inch-wide-by-three-inch-tall hoodscoop; 245 (10-inch wide) tires in placeof 225s and 235s; wider fenders; stiffersubframe bushings; firmer suspension;heated front seats; and a high-crossflow design intercooler instead of anordinary one. Seats are leather insteadof fake suede.

On the interior, dark leather seatstrimmed in red are eye-catchers.Instrumentation highlights revolutionsper minute to give the driver a readingon torque levels.

The sedan’s trunk measures 12 cu-bic feet, and it is lighted and carpeted.When the split rear seats are folded flatallowing access to the trunk, additional

storage space is gained.Amenities include power and heated

exterior mirrors, power windows withexpress up and down for the driver, apower driver’s seat, cruise control, airconditioning, power door locks, inter-mittent wipers, cup holders, four grabhandles, storage bins and map lights.

Although an all-wheel-drive car,Subaru lets owners tinker with the STItorque split between front and rearaxles. The STI has three settings fordrivers and, of course, one of them isSport and another Sport Sharp. Thethird setting is Intelligent and thissimply means economy or less gas andtorque. The STI requires premium fuel.

Two negatives were noted from theoutset, and they were noise and a stifftransmission.

Those familiar with the classic sticktransmissions from German luxury carmanufacturers will not be impressedwith the six-speed manual in the WRX.

Shift gates are difficult to find andthe foot clutch is long. If the clutch isnot depressed to touch the firewall,shifting will not occur. For 6-footersand taller with a longer leg, this maynot be a problem, but it is not easy.

With practice, the shifting processbecomes smoother, but it is nothing toexalt over.

For drivers and passengers familiarwith a tightly wrapped vehicle, theWRX will be a disappointment. Noisefrom outside invades the cabin. Duringthe test week, it was difficult for thedriver to carry on a conversation withthe person seated alongside in the pas-senger’s front seat. Virtually impossi-ble unless the two people involved wereyelling at each other instead of talking.It was even more difficult to hear whatwas being said by occupants in the rearbench seat.

Although the rumble from theexhaust system was pleasant to the ear,noise from tires, engine and wind wasdiscomfiting.

Components of an independent,four-wheel suspension system includedouble wishbones, struts, steel lowerL-arms, coil springs and stabilizer barsfront and rear.

Safety mechanicals include afour-wheel antilock braking system,traction and stability controls, brake-force distribution and assist, seatbeltsfor five and seven airbags (front, sidesin front, overhead both rows and onefor the driver’s knee).

Warranty coverage is three years or36,000 miles with 24-hour roadside as-sistance and five years or 60,000 mileson the powertrain.

‘Hector and the Search forHappiness’a film that is shrinkwrapped in naiveté

ByMICHAEL O’SULLIVANTheWashington Post

What would it take to makeyou happy? To experience thatemotion truly, deeply, utterly,“as a state of being,” as a char-acter puts it in “Hector andthe Search for Happiness”?

If your answer was moremoney, a new job, better sexor stronger drugs – or maybereconnecting with your firstlove, the one who got away –you’re not unlike the film’stitle character, a successfulbut vaguely unsatisfiedman who suddenly chuckseverything, including hisbeautiful, adoring girlfriend(played by Rosamund Pike),to go gallivanting around theworld in search of somethingthat – surprise! – turns out tohave nothing to do with any ofthat stuff.

Based on a 2002 book byFrench shrink-turned-pop-novelist François Lelord,“Hector” is as light as the

punch line from a “Peanuts”cartoon, despite a sequence inwhich our hero (Simon Pegg)is kidnapped and beaten by aviolent African warlord (AkinOmotoso). Consider yourselfwarned: Although the trailermakes the movie look like acomedy, it’s less than a laughriot.

After being released fromthat cheerful little interlude,Hector is shown skippingdown the street as the words“Happiness is feeling com-pletely alive” crawl acrossthe screen. Hector, who car-ries a notebook everywherehe goes, keeps a runningtally of various theories ofhappiness he has hit uponduring his globetrotting“research,” each of whichappears as a handwrittenscribble on screen, as a wayof closing out chapters of thefilm.

Much of it is about asprofound as what you’d findprinted on a greeting card,

and one theory is quite crass.“Happiness could be thefreedom to love more thanone woman at the same time,”Hector writes, after spendinga (chaste) night with a hotChinese hooker (Ming Zhao),just before she is forcibly re-moved by her abusive pimp.

Hector’s other encountersinclude meeting a rich, cyn-ical banker (Stellan Skars-gard); an old friend of Hector’swho has become an aidworker after coming out asgay (Barry Atsma); a ruthlessdrug lord (Jean Reno) witha mentally ill wife; a womandying of cancer (ChantelHerman); and a wise old monk(Togo Igawa).

Just about everyone Hec-tor runs into seems to havesome sage advice or life lessonto offer. They’re straight outof Central Casting, not cinémavérité. Where is the airplaneseatmate with body odor and aboring story about a businessmeeting in Sacramento? Why

is everyone in this movie – ex-cept Hector – an enlightenedbeing or a heartless thug?

As naive as the maincharacter is – and he’s almostshockingly unsophisticatedfor someone who has been tomedical school – the movie iseven more clueless. There aremany scenes where you cansee the plot turns coming froma mile away.

There are no surpriseshere, only blandly reassuringhomilies.

Spoiler alert: Happinesshas to do with loving othersand self-acceptance. If that’ssomething you have to fly toShanghai to find out, saveyourself the airfare and seethis movie instead.

• “Hector and the Searchfor Happiness” receivedone-and-a-half stars out offour. The film is rated R andcontains obscenity, violence,brief nudity and sensuality.The film runs 114 minutes.

Dear Doctor K:At my last visit,my eye doctor told me I haveastigmatism. He told me what thatmeans, but I still don’t really un-derstand what it is. Please explainit to me.

Dear Reader:Astigmatismmeans that the eye’s cornea hasan irregular shape, which causesvision problems. Astigmatism isvery common; I am among theseveral billion people who have it.Fortunately, it’s easy to correct.

Let’s start with a little eyeanatomy. The cornea is the clear,dome-like window at the front ofthe eye. Rays of light pass throughthe cornea and then through thelens, which focuses images ontothe retina. The retina captures theimages, then sends them to thebrain via the optic nerve. (I’ve putan illustration of eye anatomy onmy website, AskDoctorK.com.)

The cornea is normally round.In people with astigmatism, thecornea may be shaped like afootball or oval. This causes lightto scatter instead of focus on asingle point as it passes throughthe cornea.

Blurred vision is the most com-mon symptom of astigmatism.Some people describe it as doublevision but in only one eye. Youmay develop eyestrain, squintingand headaches from working to

focus on near or distant objects.Many people have some degree

of astigmatism; in fact, it is rareto find a perfectly formed eye.Though people are born withastigmatism, it is often not no-ticed until a child attends schoolor learns to read. Astigmatismtends to remain stable, but it mayslowly worsen over time. An eyedoctor can diagnose astigmatismusing a standard eye examina-tion.

Glasses are a good, reliablechoice for correcting astigmatism.Patients who prefer contact lensesmay be limited to hard contactlenses. Soft lenses are sometimesan option, but they aren’t as effec-tive for severe astigmatism.

Another option is correctivesurgery. The most common typeused to correct astigmatism isLASIK (laser-assisted in situkeratomileusis).

In LASIK, the doctor makes asmall incision on the surface ofthe eye to create a small flap oftissue, which is lifted up. Thenthe doctor uses a cool laser beamto correct the irregular shape of

the cornea. Recovery is usuallyquick and painless.

When LASIK surgery wasintroduced, I took a wait-and-seeattitude. The surgery clearly pro-duced short-term improvementin vision, with minimal risks.But I was concerned about thepossibility that over the longerterm the surgery would becomeless effective, or there would beadverse effects. Today, after near-ly 30 years of its use, I’m muchmore confident in recommendingthis procedure to my patients.

It’s the unusual person,though, who needs surgery tocorrect astigmatism. Glasseshave always worked for me, asdid contact lenses.

I think eyeglasses are oneof the most important medicaldiscoveries – right up there withantibiotics, X-rays and vaccines.So many children and youngadults begin to lose clear visiondue to myopia, astigmatism andother common eye problems.Without eyeglasses, societywould be much less happy andproductive.

Dr.Wallace:My 19-year-

old sister just returned

from spending six weeks

in Germany to better

learn how to read, write

and speak the German

language. She was in

Munich, the Bavarian

region of Germany, and

she loved every minute

of it.

One thing that

surprised my sister was

that she could visit a beer

garden, order a bratwurst

sandwich and wash it

down with a stein of beer.

You see; the minimum

age for consuming

alcohol in Germany is

18. My sister said all the

American students in

this program sponsored

by the university were

under age 21, but over age

18, and most of them were

drinking beer. She said

that all of the students

behaved themselves and

none of them became

intoxicated.

Why can’t the United

States follow Germany

in legalizing our min-

imum drinking age to

18? Eighteen-year-olds

are considered adults in

every other way.

I dare you to challenge

my reasoning. – Kim, St.Paul, Minnesota

Dear Kim:Giving me a

dare is a good way to see

your letter in print. Every

so often I receive a letter

such as yours promoting

the theory that 18-year-

olds are considered

adults, but are denied the

privilege of consuming

an alcoholic beverage,

but I’m never convinced

that older teens can

consume alcohol without

consequence.

Germany has one of

the highest percentages

of teen deaths by automo-

bile accidents in the West-

ern world. The reason is

perfectly clear: lax laws

about teen drinking.

Even with our strict

minimum-drinking-age

laws, we have much

the same problem in

this country. The three

leading causes of death

among teens are automo-

bile accidents, homicide

and suicide, according to

Dr. S. Kenneth Schon-

berg, a professor of pedi-

atrics at Albert Einstein

College of Medicine.

Nearly half of the teens

who die in accidents are

intoxicated themselves

or are in a car driven

by someone who is, Dr.

Schonberg notes. This

fact alone makes alcohol

intoxication the leading

cause of death among

North American teens.

In addition, nearly

one-third of teen murder

victims are under the

influence of alcohol at the

time they are killed, Dr.

Schonberg says.

Add to this the fact

that 20 percent of teens

who commit suicide are

intoxicated at the time

of their death, and one

can plainly see that teen

alcohol use is anything

but consequence-free.

Dr.Wallace: I’m 17 and

never been on a date. I

don’t really know why.

I’m not bad-looking and

I’ve got a decent shape.

The only thing I

can think of is that I’m

really very bright and a

straight-A student. Do

you think this can scare

guys away from asking

me out? – Amber, India-napolis, Indiana

Dear Amber:Your

brainpower might be in-

timidating to a few guys,

but that’s not the prime

reason you are dateless.

Guys are interested in

girls who are interested

in guys. So, it’s import-

ant that you be friendly,

outgoing and even a bit

assertive. Don’t sit back

and wait.

Dear Abby: My husband re-cently passed away, and amonghis papers I discovered evidenceof another previous marriage. Itcame as a shock because he hadnever told me.

Should I ask his family howlong this previous marriagelasted, or should I let it go andbe grateful for the good andloving husband he was duringour 27 years together? He was awidower with no kids and I wasa widow when we met. What doyou think? – Number Three InArizona

Dear Number Three: Yourhusband may have been divorcedfrom wife No. 1, or the marriagecould have been annulled and hedidn’t think it “counted.” While Iagree that you should be gratefulfor the 27 happy years you spenttogether, I can’t ignore the factthat such an important piece ofinformation was withheld from

you. If you have questions andthink the family can answerthem, you are entitled to know.

Dear Abby: My sister is diffi-cult, and our relationship hasbeen extremely rocky over theyears. She insists upon dolingout unsolicited advice and askingpointed personal questions aboutmy finances, health, sex life, etc.I have told her more than oncethat these things are none of herbusiness unless I choose to dis-cuss them. Her response is she’s“only trying to help.”

Our mother died six monthsago and my sister is again mak-ing overtures. I’m hesitant aboutspeaking with her again becauseshe’s so volatile. I’ll do it only if

she respects my boundaries.I am searching for the right

words to tell her a relationshipwill work only if both partiesrespect each other, and that trusthas to be earned. I’d appreciateany suggestions. – Guarded Sib-ling In Florida

Dear Guarded Sibling: Please ac-cept my condolences for the lossof your mother. I am unclear asto why you would want to acceptthe overtures from someone withwhom you have such a difficultrelationship. However, becauseyou feel that it would be possibleunder your terms, my advice is towrite her a letter and tell her youwill be willing to try only underthe circumstances you describedto me. To do so would not berude, and it will be interesting tosee if she is able to comply.

SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Kate Moss said: “I was defi-nitely living fast. I was working,traveling a lot, playing. I didn’tstop. It all became unbalanced.”

In yesterday’s column, wesaw a deal in which a 4-4 fit wasworse than a 6-3 because therewas an inevitable trump loser inthe 4-4 fit, but those losers couldbe discarded if it were a side suit.

Today’s deal is anotherexample of one in which theunbalanced fit works better thanthe balanced, but it is hard torecognize at the table.

After South opens one spadeand North raises to two spades,it is tempting for South to rebidthree hearts. Perhaps North hasraised with three spades andfive (or six!) hearts. Here, Northwould surely raise to four hearts.

Whether South is in fourspades or four hearts, West doesbest to lead his fourth-highestclub, guaranteeing at least onehonor in the suit (or a mostunlikely singleton). East takesthe trick as cheaply as possibleand continues with his originalfourth-highest club, which Southruffs. What happens after that?

In four spades, declarer con-tinues with the diamond king.West wins and plays a third club.South ruffs, draws two roundsof trumps, cashes the diamondqueen, ruffs the diamond threein the dummy, and plays onhearts. Declarer loses only onespade, one diamond and oneclub.

In four hearts, though, thecontinued club leads forcedeclarer to ruff twice in his hand,which promotes West’s heartjack to a winner. The defenderstake one trick in each suit fordown one.

Another time to

avoid the 4-4
