rive for work Friday morningand attempts to contact herby telephone were unsuc-cessful, Cortland police werecontacted to check her home.Cortland officers discoveredBaldwin was dead. The initialinvestigation determined herdeath was from natural caus-es, according to a news releaseissued by the city of Geneva.

The DeKalb County Coro-ner’s Office will be conductingan investigation to determinethe exact cause of death, ac-cording to the release.

“We were all shocked anddeeply saddened to learn of

Cathy’s deaththis morning.I think most ofus are still ina state of dis-belief,” Chiefof Police SteveMexin said, ac-cording to therelease.

“Cathy has been our friendand a valued police depart-ment employee for a longtime,” Mexin added. “She will

definitely be missed by us all.Our thoughts and prayers arewith her family.”

Baldwin began her employ-ment with Geneva in 1981 as apart-time parking control en-forcement officer. She becamea full-time employee in 1984.Her duty assignment changedto community service officerin 1988, and she was trans-ferred in 1999 to her currentposition of police records spe-cialist.

City and police officials arereaching out to her family to

provide them with any assis-tance they may need, accord-ing to the release. The city alsohas arranged for grief counsel-ors to be available for employ-ees to help cope with this diffi-cult news, officials said.

This is the second time ina month a city employee hasdied suddenly. Electric super-intendent Michael Buffingtondied June 11 in a car crash.

Police: 2 tried to cheat on drug testBy BRENDA SCHORY

[email protected]

GENEVA – Two men who

were in a deferred prose-

cution program both were

charged with trying to use

someone else’s urine in a drug

screening test, according to

police and court records.

Jumel W. Julien, 18, of

the 1400 block of Dixie Court,

Elgin, was charged Monday

with attempting to defeat a

drug test at a testing site, 333

N. Randall Road, St. Charles.

Alsonso Favela, 18, of the

700 block of East Downer

Street, Aurora, was charged

Tuesday with attempting to

defeat a drug test at the same

drug testing site.

Both were charged sep-

arately in December with

possession of marijuana, and

Julien also was charged with

possession of drug parapher-

nalia, both misdemeanors.

Being in the deferred pros-

ecution program – also known

as “Second Chance” – means a

nonviolent offender has an op-

portunity to make restitution,

do community service and

attend counseling, according

to the Kane County State’s At-

torney’s Office website.

If the terms are met, pros-

ecutors will dismiss the

charges, according to the web-

site.

Attempting to falsify the

results of a drug screen is

punishable by one to three

years in prison and/or a fine

up to $25,000.

Both men are scheduled

for a hearing on June 27.

6 COVER STORY

Dishing for youths at Swedish Days

By BRENDA [email protected]

GENEVA – Crowdscontinued to jamthe sidewalks, shops

and events at Geneva’s 65thSwedish Days, and Kids’ Dayon Friday meant there werehundreds of children and lotsof activities.

“It’s very crowded, andthere’s lots of kids havinga great time,” said festivalvolunteer Eileen Hutchinsonof Geneva.

Children and parentslined up for everything fromface painting to basketballto a chance to throw a ball atthe dunk tank. And that iswhere Pat Shanahan of Ge-neva waited, in line with hisdaughter, Kathleen, 7, so shecould hit the target and causea dunking.

“We come down everyyear,” Shanahan said. “Thekids love it, and we hang outand let them do their thing.”

Jeannine McConnell ofGeneva said she also enjoyedthe children’s events. She wasat the festival with her daugh-ter, Lily, 7, and grandparents,Linda and Eugene Szafoni ofDowners Grove.

“Today is Kids’ Day, sothey had all the kids perform-ing,” McConnell said.

A Geneva Angel, Lily per-formed a cheer routine.

“That’s fun,” McConnellsaid. “We like the shopping.We haven’t done that yet –we’re headed for the LittleTraveler. We have not hadthe food yet. We try to hit thecupcake place, The LatestCrave.”

The festival continuesthroughout the weekend,and McConnell said the nextbest part of the festival is theparade on Sunday.

“The kids will be in the

parade on Sunday, the verylast day – and I really lovethat parade,” McConnell said.“This really is a good parade.”

Sarah Reese of WhiteSalmon, Washington, said sheloved the festival’s Kids’ Day.She came with her 16-month-old daughter Fiona, nephewReese Gosain, 12, of Genevaand mother-in-law JenniferReese of Glen Ellyn to see Re-ese’s sister, Meena, 9, dance.

“It was awesome,” JenniferReese said. “They had a won-

derful dance performance. Myniece was the best dancer outthere, of course. Fun musicand great crowds.”

She said they always cometo Swedish Days.

“I just love Geneva,” Jen-nifer Reese said. “I think it’sjust the cutest little town.”

While children enjoyedKids’ Day outside, others –such as Jean Peterson of St.Charles – were inside perus-ing the Friends of the GenevaLibrary used book sale.

“I love the book sale be-cause you can find all kindsof bargains,” Peterson said.“I can find most anything I’mlooking for. Get a big bag [ofbooks] for not a lot of money.”

Peterson said she also goesto the festival, especially forthe music and shopping atCocoon, The Little Travelerand Geneva Wine Cellar.

Book sale volunteer MargoHoovel said the sale has beengoing well.

“We get a lot of teachers[at the sale], especially in theelementary grades,” Hoovelsaid. “They can get a lot ofbooks for not a lot of money.

... They’re getting a goodlibrary at a good price.”

Weather can play a rolein how successful the six-day Swedish Days festivalis. It is hosted by the GenevaChamber of Commerce incooperation with the city andsponsors.

Chamber officials said rainis bad, but people will comeout in the heat. With somestormy nights this week, someevening band performanceswere canceled, officials said.

But all in all, the weathercooperated, said Debra Koert-ge, owner of Artemisia, 101S. Third St., and the festivalbrought in more shoppers.

“It brings a lot of peopleto town, and we love it,” shesaid.

Rain was no factor inkeeping crowds away, either,Koertge said.

“They come back,” shesaid.

Chamber spokeswomanLaura Rush said the chambercanceled the evening bandsWednesday and Thursday,and the carnival closed earlyboth nights because rain andstorms. The Geneva’s Got Tal-ent competition was movedfrom Wednesday to Thursdaynight and was held before therain started on Thursday,Rush said.

While weather canceledthe bands, the restaurantsmade up the difference, shesaid.

“The restaurants did aphenomenal business,” Rushsaid. “People still wanted tohave a place to go.”

A complete festival sched-ule for today and Sunday isavailable on the chamber’swebsite, www.genevacham-ber.com.

9Welcome back to Fox River’s caddisflies

Two weeks ago thou-sands of people flocked to St.Charles’ annual extravaganza,City of St. Charles RiverFest.Dragon boats, water skiers,sand sculptors and evenracing pigs were among thediverse attractions that drewcrowds out in celebration ofthe town’s most notable natu-ral feature: the Fox River.

Interestingly, though,when some of the Fox River’smost plenteous residentsshowed up, not a single personopened their arms to welcomethem.

Unless you call waving andswatting “open arms.”

That’s right, the RiverBugs are back. Those littlebrown bugs that emerge peri-odically from the depths of theFox arrived en masse a coupleweeks ago, fluttering aboutdowntown St. Charles as wellseveral other communities upand down the watershed.

Small and fuzzy looking,with a tendency to fly towardand into places people findbothersome – namely nosesand mouths – River Bugsactually are a symbol of whatRiverFest is all about: a thriv-ing ecosystem without whichnone of us could survive.

River Bugs are caddisflies,the insects that make up theorder Trichoptera, or “hairywings.” North America ishome to more than 1,300species of caddisflies, a factthat may come as a surpriseto casual river observers butnot the legions of fly fisher-men who go to great lengths tocreate lures that replicate theintricacies of the caddis form.

As these sportsmen willconfirm, caddisflies are keymembers of aquatic foodchains, feeding fish and otherlife forms in stream systemsaround the world. But theirallure extends above thewater’s surface, too. Purplemartins, swallows (barn, cliff,bank, tree and rough-winged,to name a few), chimneyswifts and night hawks are afew of the birds that partakeof summer’s periodic caddis-fly feasts. Bats (big brown,little brown and red to, again,

name a few) as well as hun-dreds of species of spiders andother predacious arthropodscome flying, scurrying andscuttling in to take advantageof the caddisfly gravy train.

Take away caddisflies, andthe whole system would cometumbling down. No more first-rate smallmouth bass fishing,or any fishing for that matter,without this key food source.No more fertile streambeds,because the niche of herbivo-rous scavenger would sudden-ly be vacated. No more cleanwater because of the die-offof plants and animals. Andwithout clean water, it’s onlya matter of time before there’sno more ... us.

No doubt, caddisflies are anessential part of life. But whatexactly is a caddisfly anyway?

Caddisflies get their com-mon name from the MiddleEnglish word caddice, whichmeans a woolen braid, ribbon,or tape. Way back when,caddice men used to displaysthese wares by pinning them

on their coats – much thesame way adult caddisfliesperch on clothing and othervertical surfaces.

Even though they are bynature aquatic, caddisflies areclose relatives of the Lepi-dopterans, or scaly wings –the critters most people referto as butterflies and moths.Both orders of insects havea larval phase in their lifecycle, and both types of larvaepupate and emerge as wingedadults. However, youngcaddisflies pass the days oftheir youth in the water, noton land.

The caddisflies that ap-peared here recently came upout of the Fox River as partof a synchronous “hatch,” oremergence. Millions of newlyminted adults came from thewater within days of eachother, ready to complete thelast – and shortest – phase ofa life cycle that began about ayear ago.

Back then, mated femaleslaid eggs in the water that

soon hatched into larvae.Over the ensuing months, theyoung insects grew throughfour immature stages calledinstars. Wriggly and green,they looked very much likecaterpillars as they clung tosubmerged rocks and logs andfed on leaf litter and vegeta-tion.

About a month ago, thelittle larvae spun small silkencocoons – similar to those oftheir land-dwelling cousins,but underwater – and begantheir magical transforma-tion from wiggly youngstersinto winged adults. Complexcues then prompted them toemerge all at once, a strategythat not only aids survival ofthe species (predators can eatsome, or most, but never allof a synchronous emergence)but also makes it pretty easyto find a mate.

Even with an abundanceof options, though, adultcaddisflies should best resortto speed dating. At this point,they’ve got maybe 10 days to

two weeks left – just enoughtime to get down to businessand reproduce. As the lastadults of this emergence fadeaway, the new larvae of thenext generation will be start-ing appear, and the cycle willbegin again.

This most recent emer-gence looked to be a type ofHydropsychid caddis, a groupwhose larvae build “retreats”by gluing bits of sand andplant material onto the sidesof underwater rocks. The“glue,” so to speak, actuallyis a sticky silk produced byglands near the mouth. Thelarvae then spin “nets” of silkin the water to capture food asit flows past.

That in itself is a prettynifty trick. But caddis speciesin other families take it onestep further. These more mo-bile larvae glue bits of plants,twigs, or pebbles and sandtogether to produce a tube-likecase that they carry aroundwith them.

Caddisflies’ fascinatingways have inspired many whohave observed them. Poetspen verses about them; artistscreate sculptures based oncaddis larvae cases. And atleast one enterprising ento-mologist/jeweler has goneinto business. Wildscape Inc.(www.wildscape.com) sellsearrings, necklaces, braceletsand the like featuring caddiscases made from preciousstones.

We’ll likely have morecaddisfly emergences beforethe summer is over. If you’relooking for a little inspirationyourself, head down to theriver on the warm summernight and watch for cloudsof brown insects around thestreet lights.

Watch for me, too. I’ll bethe one wearing the cad-dis-case earrings.

This column is the first in aseries that explores the threemajor groups of insects thatemerge from the Fox River inlarge groups. Next week: TheEphemeroptera, or mayflies.

Newhouse retiring from Batavia United Methodist

By ERIC [email protected]

BATAVIA – After 41 yearsin the ministry, Batavia Unit-ed Methodist Church PastorDavid Newhouse is gettingready to retire.

Parishioners as well ascommunity members willhave the chance to wish himwell during a retirement cel-ebration from noon to 3 p.m.Sunday at the Peg Bond Cen-ter on the Batavia Riverwalk,which is at Houston Street andNorth Island Avenue. He will

leave the church at the end ofJune.

“It’s time,” Newhouse said.“There’s been a lot going onwith this church in the last twoyears, and it’s helped me real-ize that maybemy transition-ing would helpthem to take offin a new, goodperiod of timein their history,and I wanted tohelp that to hap-pen.”

Newhouse, 60, who beganserving churches in 1973 as asophomore in college, startedat Batavia United MethodistChurch in 2012 after the depar-ture of the Rev. Michael Ston-er, who had been at the churchfor 17 years.

Stoner now is lead pastorat Trinity United MethodistChurch in Yorkville.

Dan Van Haften, who hasbeen a member of BataviaUnited Methodist Churchfor more than 20 years and isthe chairman of the church’sstaff-parish relations commit-tee, believes that Newhousehas been “very good for usduring this transition.”

Van Haften said he willmiss Newhouse’s sermons.

“I did enjoy his sermons,”he said. “I think they werevery theologically sound.”

On July 1, the Rev. CynthiaAnderson will become the newsenior pastor at the church.She is currently the associatepastor at the Barrington Unit-ed Methodist Church.

Newhouse said he thinks

she will be a good fit for thechurch.

“I think she’ll give exact-ly the kind of leadership thatis going to be needed for thiscongregation to move for-ward,” he said. “I think shewill be a community leader aswell.”

During his time at BataviaUnited Methodist Church,Newhouse oversaw the estab-lishment of a second campus,Flowing Grace, in Aurora.Earlier this month, FlowingGrace became its own congre-gation.

“One of my responsibilitieswas to help them put them-selves together to be an inde-pendent church,” Newhousesaid. “They have now beenchartered as a new UnitedMethodist church.”

Newhouse said he willmiss the ministry.

“I’m clearly going to missthe constant opportunity to beoffering pastoral care, to re-spond to people in their timesof need and to offer them spiri-tual help, spiritual guidance,”Newhouse said.

He won’t be totally retiringfrom the ministry, however.Newhouse will be moving toMichigan, where his daugh-ter and son-in-law are UnitedMethodist ministers.

“They have been encour-aging me not to just sit someplace and rot, but to come andbe a part of the church thatthey’re serving, so I know Iwill have the opportunity torespond to people’s needs andto give some leadership,” Ne-whouse said.

Proponents of proposed sugarydrink tax to fight for legislation

By ERIC [email protected]

Even though a proposal totax sugary drinks as a wayto combat obesity was voteddown in a Illinois House com-mittee recently, proponents ofthe tax intend to continue tofight for the legislation.

“We are certainly going tocontinue to work to pass leg-islation on this topic,” saidElissa Bassler, CEO of the Il-linois Public Health Institute,the convening organizationof the Illinois Alliance to Pre-vent Obesity. The bill was in-troduced with the support ofthe Illinois Alliance to PreventObesity.

Last month, an IllinoisHouse committee voted downa proposal to place a penny-per-ounce excise tax on sug-ary beverages, which includebeverages with added caloricsweeteners such as soda, fruit

drinks, sweetened teas andcoffees and energy and sportsdrinks.

Bassler on Friday said hergroup plans to continue to ed-ucate lawmakers and othersabout the need for the HealthyEating Active Living Act. Pro-ponents contend the increasedpurchase price for sugary bev-erages would reduce consump-tion by about 23 percent in thefirst year of implementation.

Some local lawmakers,including state Rep. Tim

Schmitz, R-Batavia, hadvoiced opposition to the tax.He said education was a moreeffective way of curbing obe-sity. State Rep. Mike Fortner,R-West Chicago, who also op-posed the bill, said he didn’tthink that increasing the priceof sugar-sweetened beveragesnecessarily would stop peoplefrom buying them.

According to the IllinoisAlliance to Prevent Obesity,one in three children in thestate are overweight or obeseand nearly one in 12 Illinois-ans have been diagnosed withdiabetes.

Half of the revenue generat-ed by the tax would have goneinto a wellness fund to supportinitiatives that promote suchthings as physical activity,school health and wellness, ac-cess to healthy foods and obe-sity prevention. The other halfof the funds would support thestate’s Medicaid program.

Measure was defeated in state House committee last month

State Rep.Mike Fortner (left),R-West Chicago, and state Rep.Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia, bothopposed a tax on sugary drinks.

WRITE TO US

Municipalities through-out the state are mappingout rules and regulationsfor medical marijuana, andit’s a process that must bethorough and careful.

As of Jan. 1, the stateMedical Cannabis PilotProgram Act became law. Itrecognizes that those withcertain medical conditions

would qualify to be treatedwith medical cannabis. Thedetails are still being de-termined, including wherepatients would be able to re-ceive marijuana and wherecultivation centers would belocated.

While supporters mightbe eager to see the rules setin place and dispensation to

begin, it’s important to notethat the rules do not allowfor the general legalizationof marijuana.

The Illinois Departmentof Public Health spellsout specific “debilitatingmedical conditions” thatwould qualify individualsto be treated with medicalmarijuana.

Among them are cancer,glaucoma, Alzheimer’sdisease, muscular dystrophyand traumatic brain injury.

This is not a green lightfor casual use of the drug,and those who will be ableto use cannabis must becareful to avoid activitiesthat could be dangerous ifperformed while under the

influence.In creating the regula-

tions, governing bodies mustconsider places that wouldor would not be appropriateto serve as dispensation andcultivation sites.

Steps must be taken to becertain that use is restrict-ed to the eligible medicalconditions.

21The joy and beautyThis is to give a huge thank you

to the residents of the 200 blockof North Bennett Street in Gene-va. Your gardens are somethingspecial to behold, and I enjoythem each and every time I drivepast. If you haven’t seen them,make sure you drive past. Thankyou again for the joy and beautyyou bring into our lives.

Bad behaviorI have two topics to comment

on. Waitress harassment: Did youor the waitress report the matterto the restaurant manager? Ifnot, you should have. If either ofyou did, then the manager shouldhave asked the boys to leave.Youth should not be allowed toget away with that behavior.Secondly, regarding speakingSpanish, historically, immigrantswho came to this country took itupon themselves to learn Englishif they wanted to live and workin the United States. We didn’tchange street signs and print ma-terials in their native languages.It should remain that way now.

What grinds my gearsYou know what really grinds

my gears? Paying over $11,000 inproperty taxes in Batavia, seeinghow the city and school districtspends our tax dollars. Theschool district continues to re-quest money, not for needs, butfor upgrades and sports facilities.High school is about education.Sports are extracurricular. I drivedown Wilson Street, and it’s stillunder construction. Yeah, like Ineeded bricks in the crosswalk.

If you have an all-terrain vehicle,you can drive down HoustonStreet behind Mickey D’s whereyou can get some great air timeas you hurtle the bumps from thecontinuing street repair. Recent-ly, I was in need of emergencyservices and just received a billfor $800 for a base rate for theparamedics visit, which doesn’tinclude $10 per mile to get me tothe emergency room. Wake up,politicians. Keep citizens who aregood here.

Clean it up, McIlvaineHi. I’m calling about the – I’m

not even going to give him anhonor of saying mister – McIl-vaine in that house he’s beenworking on for 25 years orwhatever it is. I live on the westside of St. Charles so I don’thave to live next to him. I feelso sorry for the people that livenext to him, across from him,around him, anywhere. Whatgives him the privilege of goingto court and the judge gives him

an extension? They don’t dowhatever, you know, what is ...[it] now with the boom [truck]thing? He has till ... July [15]; he’sgot to have it moved. Have thecourt there, the marshals there,the sheriffs there, somebody, and[if] he’s not moving it ... you guysmove it, send the bill to him, andget it out of there! What giveshim the right and the privilegeof all these extensions? It’s beengoing on way, way ... too long.Get him out of there. ... Clean itup. Thank you.

Cunningham should resignKane County Clerk Jack Cun-

ningham should resign. Givingseverance pay to an employee ofless than 12 months is certainlynot in the interest of the taxpay-er. ... I hope and encourage BobMcQuillan to be successful in hispursuit of this ethics violation.For the county’s sake, let’s hopethis is resolved before the nextelection. I do not want to seeJack Cunningham’s name on any

ballot. Thank you.

Mr. Lauzen,stop the politicsI’m calling ... to ask Kane

County Board Chairman ChrisLauzen to stop the politicsto the detriment of the KaneCounty citizens. When thereis an unattended death of anindividual in Kane County, thefamily members of Kane Countydeserve to have a coroner’soffice that is void of politics, hasthe equipment it needs to do thejob and can determine the causeand manner of death for ... so thefamily members can go on withtheir lives. I don’t understand thebig argument.I see in the budget we have

[money]to build a shooting rangefor the sheriff, and we’ve built[a] new sheriff jail and businessoffices – why we don’t havemoney to perform this essentialfunction in Kane County? There[were] probably coroners inKane County before there wasa board chairman. The coronershave a bonafide public service toperform for the citizens. It’s beentradition since back in Europeantimes. Mr. Lauzen, please stopthe politics and work with thecoroner and get this problemresolved for the citizens of KaneCounty.

Send them backIt appears our U.S. government

is not strategic. There is an oldsaying, “If you build it, they willcome.” But today, in our society,if you give them a break, if yougive them an inch, they’re going

to come in droves and work ontaking over the country. Andthat’s exactly what’s happeningwith these illegal immigrantchildren who are crossing theborder without their parents.And, as in the paper today, itsays they’ve overwhelmed theU.S. government because nowthey come across and nowthey’re held in cells and they’resaying, oh, well, we can’t treatchildren inhumanely. Well, whatare their parents doing? Howare their parents treating thesechildren? Aren’t they treatingthem inhumanely by sendingthem across the border withoutadult supervision? And then, youknow, Barack Obama, our so-called president, says, OK, we’regoing to give these kids whohad no choice in coming herespecial preferential treatmentand chances for citizenship. And,so, when they do that, then thechildren start screaming, “Familyunification! Family unification!”so they get to bring their parentsover here. And the big strategicresult on behalf of all theseillegal immigrants is they’re ableto take over a country withoutfiring a shot. We the people,we the taxpayers, the workingtaxpayers, are forced to supportthese people. We’re forced totake care of these kids. I say it’sabout time we just put them ona big bus and send them backand tell Mexico or whoever,however they’re crossing theborder, whichever border they’recrossing, send them back thereand tell [that country] ... to takecare of them.

We have liftoff

Cubs first round draft pick KyleSchwarber launched his firsthome run as a Cougar leading offthe fifth.He greeted Kernels reliever

Chris Mazza by smacking a2-0, outer-half fastball over thebatter’s eye in center field.“I hit that ball pretty good,”

Schwarber said. “I think that’slike the ball I hit [Thursday],except the wind was blowing inthen.”Schwarber, who started at

catcher, was referring to his fly-out to the warning track in cen-ter in his first at-bat Thursday.It marked one of the rare outs inhis young pro career. With twomore hits Friday, he’s a com-bined 15 for 26 (.577) with fivehome runs and 12 RBIs in sevengames between the Cougars andShort-A Boise.“It’s a high-level approach,”

Cougars manager Mark Johnsonsaid. “It’s great to have that kindof guy in the middle of the lineupto kind of have other guys look atin how his taking his ABs.”

Well-played, Mauer

Kernels manager Jake Mauercould relate to the buzz sur-rounding Schwarber’s arrivalThursday.He is four years the senior of

brother Joe Mauer, the Minne-sota Twins’ first baseman and asix-time All-Star.The Twins drafted Mauer No.

1 overall in 2001 as a St. Paul,Minnesota multisport prep star.Mauer also had a scholarship toFlorida State in hand before sign-ing near the end of the period.“Joe had his bags packed, ready

to go to Florida State. It camedown to one of the last days thatthey finally got everything allbuttoned up,” Jake Mauer said.“He was kind of ready to go playfootball and play baseball downthere and it all worked out. AndI think it all worked out for thebest.”The Mauers played together for

two seasons, at Rookie LeagueElizabethton and Class-A QuadCities.

Here we go againOld, new faces help Cougars to another home win

By KEVIN [email protected]

GENEVA – Infielder DavidBote and right-hander PierceJohnson played baseball at thesame high school in suburbanDenver.

This may be reunion season,but the former Faith ChristianAcademy Eagles already hadtheirs as Cougars teammatesfor parts of 2013.

Both players converged onFifth Third Bank Ballpark withseparate agendas Friday, butbeing together again at leastproved one thing: The morethings change amid this recentflurry of Cubs organizationalroster moves, the more thingsstay the same.

“A lot of action this pastweek,” manager Mark Johnsonsaid. “Part of it. They come inbunches sometimes.”

Boy, can Bote attest. Heflew back to join the club Fri-day from Short-A Boise ninedays after leaving the Cougars.Bote landed in Chicago about

90 minutes before first pitch ofan eventual 6-4 victory againstCedar Rapids.

Pierce Johnson’s sojournlasted much longer. A supple-mental first-round pick in 2012,Johnson is set to start tonight’sgame against the Kernels ashe works back from a left calfstrain. It will mark his first out-ing in Geneva since his midsea-son promotion to Advanced-ADaytona last June after going5-5 with a 3.10 ERA in 13 starts.

Johnson opened 2014 atDouble-A Tennessee in April– hamstring troubles kept himat extended spring training –and was 1-1 with a 4.39 ERA insix games and five starts beforelanding on the disabled listabout a month ago. He will belimited to four innings todaybefore being re-evaluated afterthree or four starts.

Johnson caught a series ofceremonial first pitches beforethe game Friday, completinghis transition. He also comesarmed with sound perspectiveafter pitching at three levels in

the past year.“There’s just more threats

in the lineup, maybe a lit-tle more power, too, in [Ad-vanced]-A. And just maybe alittle bit older guys and betterapproach,” Johnson said. “Butfor the most part, the competi-tion’s fairly close. But I thinkthe biggest jump is from [Ad-vanced]-A to Double-A. That’swhat everybody says. But it’sgoing to be fun to throw. I’mexcited.”

Elation swirled about anumber of other pockets of theclubhouse before and after thegame. That’s been common fora club that’s 30-7 at home aspart of a Midwest League-best47-25 start.

The 2013 Cougars won 55games all season.

Cubs first-round draft pickKyle Schwarber added a jolt toan already electric group withhis promotion from Boise, andwent 2 for 3 with a double and asolo home run.

Beginner’s pluckfor Vikes’ Monroe

By JAKE [email protected]

ST. CHARLES – For Genevasophomore Spencer Monroe,taking first place in the boys ju-nior division at Friday’s IllinoisJunior Golf Association No. 10Regional was pretty special – es-pecially considering it was hisfirst time competing at Pheas-ant Run Golf Course.

Monroe led the pack with a76, while St. Charles East soph-omore Michael Bertke followedclosely behind with a 77 and asecond-place finish.

“I played pretty well, espe-cially with putting and chip-ping. It just feels good to win thisevent,” Monroe said. “I expectedto shoot a lot worse, but after sixor seven holes, I realized I wasplaying pretty well and I had achance at winning this.”

Monroe started the day onthe right foot with a birdie, butfollowed it up with a doublebogey on the next hole. Thatwouldn’t slow him down, as hefinished with a par on five con-secutive holes, setting the tonefor his afternoon. As the after-noon progressed, Monroe sprin-kled in three birdies, vaultinghim to victory.

“I felt pretty good going intothe tournament. … I wasn’t thatnervous. I was practicing thelast two, three days at the driv-ing range,” he said.

However, when it came timeto tee off, Monroe admitted tobe a little nervous with peoplewatching, but afterward, hesaid he felt “totally fine.”

With the tournament win,Monroe hopes to build on thesuccess, as he is preparing fortryouts on the East varsity teamin August. Monroe is hoping toclean up his game, in particu-lar, his driving.

His solution?Just keep practicing.In the boys senior division,

five golfers all finished with a79, prompting a playoff betweenthem. Aurora native JeremyForbes ultimately came out ontop.

While St. Charles East juniorKevin Sobieski didn’t competethe way he wanted to, he stillfelt his performance was “pret-ty good,” citing he wanted to

shoot in the high 70s because hedidn’t want to “psyche himselfout in front of potential collegeswatching him.” Sobieski fin-ished with an 85.

“Some greens were fasterthan others, some were straight;those surprised [me],” he said.“My putts were not quality to-day.”

Sobieski is looking to putthis one behind him quickly, ashe has his sights set on anothertournament, the Warren GolfClassic in South Bend, Indiana,on Monday and Tuesday.

For the girl’s junior division,Buffalo Grove’s Haeri Lee wonfirst-place, with a 79 score, andin the senior division, Naper-ville’s Niquole Mangal tookhome first-place honors with ascore of 76. Batavia’s Erin Ew-ert finished seventh with a 97.

“[Today’s event] went real-ly smoothly,” IJGA director ofplaying services Brett Dreiersaid. ”Last year’s events [exceptsenior boys] got rained out, so itwas some good golf today … thecourse was in good shape.”

‘I HAD TOHAVEHERONMY TEAM’Batavia alum Sawyer blazed trail for Augustana women’s tennis

By JAKE [email protected]

BATAVIA – As the sun setson her women’s tennis careerat Augustana College, formerBatavia standout Kim Sawyerwill leave a legacy like no oth-er, exiting as the program’sall-time leader in singles (106)and total wins (178).

And that is only the begin-ning.

Three times the team’smost valuable player andtwice the College Conferenceof Illinois and WisconsinPlayer of the Year, Sawyer re-cently concluded a senior sea-son which netted both singlesand doubles championships.

This season, Sawyer ledthe team to a 18-7 record anda No. 16 ranking in the NCAADivision III Central Region af-ter Augustana fell to WheatonCollege and lost the chance tocompete in the Division III na-tional tournament.

As an individual, Sawyercompiled a 24-5 record andclaimed her second straightCCIW No. 1 singles champion-ship. In addition, she teamedwith Aileen MacDonald towin a conference title at sec-ond doubles.

Sawyer recently graduatedwith a bachelor’s degree inCommunication Studies andDisorders.

Sawyer got her start intennis because of her mother,Debbie, who played tennis inhigh school and college. Hav-ing sisters Kristina and Katieplay varsity at Batavia beforeher didn’t hurt, either.

“She didn’t really startplaying intensely until eighthgrade, freshman year,” Deb-bie Sawyer estimates.

Yet, once she started herfreshman year at Batavia in2006, Sawyer took the sportby storm. After starting as afour-year varsity player andleaving the program with thesecond-most wins (105), andeight tournament victories,she set off for Augustana inthe fall of 2010, and immedi-ately settled in.

She went 29-7 in singlesmatches, breaking a 13-yearold program record for single

season wins. In addition, sheposted a 22-9 record in doubles

From there, Sawyer nev-er looked back, and pow-er-served her way to a sec-ond-place finish at the CCIWsingles championship. Saw-yer also earned a first-teamall conference selection andbecame the recipient of theViking Newcomer award.

All as a freshman.“I accomplished more than

I expected over my four yearsthere,” Sawyer said. “I actual-ly didn’t know I was close tobreaking the [career singleswins] record, so it was nice[when I did].”

All those accolades didn’tcome without a gruelingschedule, as Sawyer hadpractice five days a week andmatches on the weekends, allwhile balancing classes andhomework, as well.

Sawyer began her colle-giate career under AdamStrand, who coached the 2010-

11 season. He left the schoolthe next season to accept themen’s and women’s tennishead coaching positions at hisalma mater, Luther College.

As the recruitment pro-cess got underway, Strandwatched Sawyer at a highschool match, and recallednoticing her intangibles andmental toughness right away.

“I had to have her on myteam. There was someone whocould help change the cultureof the team,” Strand said.

Once Sawyer arrived oncampus, it quickly becameevident to him how hard sheworked to improve every day,and Strand especially noticedhow her confidence grew asthe season progressed.

“After awhile, I think sherealized what she could do atthis level, and I told her shecan be a special player. She isprobably one of my favoriteplayers I’ve ever coached,” hesaid.

Once Strand left, Jon Mie-dema took over as women’scoach at Augustana. He pre-viously served as the men’shead coach at Grace Bible Col-lege for the 2010-11 season.

Above all, Sawyer’s par-ents, Debbie and Chuck, were

always there to support her.“They attended almost all

of my matches, so I wanted tomake them proud,” Sawyersaid.

And proud seems to be anunderstatement.

“I think as parents you’rehappy when your kids find apassion and have success do-ing it,” Debbie Sawyer said.“Kim is well-respected onand off the court, and severaltimes throughout her career,coaches would come up to usand compliment her.”

Debbie Sawyer recalledmatches against WheatonCollege were always toughfor her daughter because theycould have gone either way,but Sawyer always had thewill to succeed.

While her collegiate careeris finished, she is set to attendthe University of Tennesseefor her doctorate in audiolo-gy.

Although her eligibility isfinished for competing in theNCAA, Sawyer hopes to con-nect with a tennis club duringher time there. In the mean-time, she is staying active inthe tennis scene, as she cur-rently teaches tennis lessonsat the St. Charles CountryClub.

“It makes me want to playmore, but now I get to teachkids how to play,” Sawyersaid.

Maybe she’ll be a coach lat-er on?

“Once I get a job,” she said.

Short-A Boise manager Gary VanTol beams at the end of most Hawks’road trips, provided he’s still awake.

It’s not so much the relief of seven-to 10-hour bus rides ending as it isspotting picturesque Pacific North-west landscapes at dawn.

Van Tol learned to look aroundearly in his baseball career, althoughhe didn’t let that derail him frombeing as diligent as they come.

Even from many miles away,one of his passions is charting theCougars. Van Tol worked with manyof the club’s current players as theyprepared to climb to the parent Cubs’Class-A affiliate, and is especiallyclose with the field staff of manag-

er Mark Johnson,pitching coach DavidRosario and hittingcoach Tom Beyers.

“All the playersthere are in good handswith those three guys,”Van Tol said. “I’mproud of all of them

for the first half and what they’veaccomplished, and it’s going to be anexciting year to watch from outsideof the area and see how they’re doingthere in Kane County.”

Van Tol was Johnson’s benchcoach for two seasons with theHawks, worked with Rosario for fourseasons and considers Beyers one ofhis mentors.

He recently opened his secondseason as Hawks manager and textedJohnson on Tuesday upon learningCubs first-round draft pick KyleSchwarber had been promoted fromBoise to Kane County.

Van Tol sent another messagewhen the Cougars clinched the Mid-west League’s first-half Western Di-vision title two weeks ago. Of course,the congratulatory correspondencesgo both ways. Now in his seventhseason with the club and second asmanager, he and the Hawks are bid-

ding for their first Northwest Leaguetitle since 2004.

The team advanced to the leaguechampionship series the past two Sep-tembers but lost to Vancouver. VanTol finds reloading to be a smoothprocess as the Hawks comprise play-ers from extended spring training orfull-season affiliates with the Cubs’recent collection of high draft picks.

“There’s a lot of core guys that un-derstand the language and have beenin the system a little bit. Coming outof extended, of course, they’re all firedup to get out of Arizona and get uphere and play in front of somebody,and so there’s no motivational speech-es whatsoever,” Van Tol said.

“Everybody’s pretty fired up andready to go, and as the new playerscome in, it helps with that transition,because it can be a long one for theseguys, especially the new players.”

Van Tol’s wife, Chrissy, serves asa senior associate athletic director

at Boise State. The couple has fourchildren, and considering the namesof their two sons – Gehrig and Gibson– Gary Van Tol’s appetite for baseballis evident.

The family has lived in Boise since2008, but Van Tol certainly allows hisinterests to travel elsewhere.

“It’s a good set-up for him. He’sright there at home. He does a greatjob, you know,” Johnson said. “Hegets these guys prepared to go to thenext level just like we try to get theseguys prepared to go to [Advanced-A]Daytona. It’s a crucial level. That firstshort season, it’s the first time a lot ofthese guys are playing affiliated ball.That’s not easy. He definitely does agood job.”

In the interest of formal-ity, Kane County Chroniclesports reporter Kevin Druleyopened the latest edition ofthe Weekend Chit-chat bygreeting the subject with acourtesy title. The Cougars’new chief executive offi-cer, president and majorityowner technically could goby “Mr. Froehlich,” althoughmost know him by the collo-quial “Dr. Bob.” Bob Froeh-lich earned his Ph.D. in 1979,and since has ascended tobecome a noted Wall Streetinfluence, television per-sonality and author. Earlierthis month, Froehlich andhis wife, Cheryl, became theCougars’ largest sharehold-ers as previous majorityco-owners Mike Murtaughand Mike Woleben remainin a minority role. Here’s anedited transcript of Froeh-lich’s conversation with theChronicle:

A few days in, how has thisbeen and how has it suitedyou?

Well, it’s pretty exciting.If you can’t be excited aboutbuying and owning a minorleague baseball team thathappens to be in first place

– going from last place lastyear to first place this year– it’s a pretty exciting timefor the Cougars and a prettyexciting time for the Cubs,and it’s just great to be a partof all that excitement.

Take me through going fromminority owner to now.

My wife and I boughtownership interest in Jan-uary of 2013, so we were thelargest minority owners atthat point in time, so we hadabout 10 percent ownership.So we got a good feel for ev-erything about the organiza-tion and a better understand-ing of the Midwest League,and just, it made sense forsomething we always wantedto do. It’s interesting. Mywife had always wanted usto have a family business.I just always worked incorporations … you know,and she always thought,‘Boy, wouldn’t it be fun tohave a family business.’ AndI’ve always loved baseball, Iplayed semipro baseball for afew years in Pittsburgh, andthis was just an opportunityto bridge those two things.To have a business and runit like a family business, and

then the business happenedto be in baseball. So this wasa perfect match for us.

And the former co-ownersare staying on in the minoritygroup?

They still have minorityownership, and we created anine-person board of direc-tors. Both of the Mikes areon there, and they both havetwo family members joiningthem. … So they will stay in-volved at that level. They’rethe largest minority owners.They have that legacy ofknowing what’s going on.

Getting the lay of the land,what do you plan to do to putyour family business stamp onit, so to speak?

Well, I mean, we’regoing to continue to keepthe family entertainmentaspect. That, quite frankly,that’s key. And to us, really,everything we’re going todo there is going to have togo through screens. And thefirst is: Is this going to makeit better for the fans? … Any-thing we’re doing, anythingwe’re thinking of doing, wehave to ask the question isthis to make it better for thefans. And if we answer thatquestion ‘Yes,’ then we goonto the next one, and thatis, is this something that theCubs are going to be excitedabout. … Our core respon-sibilities are to the fans andour relationship with theCubs. … It’s such a specialaffiliation. Not that the otheraffiliations are not, but thisis not like it’s affiliated withKansas City or the FloridaMarlins. The Chicago Cubsare the greatest [operation]out there, and we have to doeverything in our power toget that affiliation extendedand have a long, deep rela-tionship with the Cubs.

[Double-A] Tennesseerecently extended its player

development contract with theCubs. Have you been part ofany recent negotiations?

You know, we’re in ongo-ing discussions with them.We had, at the end of the lastyear and we’re still discuss-ing this year. It’s a businessdecision for the Cubs, and werespect that, and we knowwe’re part of the MidwestLeague, you know. There’s 16teams, and every team in theMidwest League would loveto have the Cubs affiliation.So we know how fortunatewe are; we have it. We’reworking very hard to get itextended, but at the end ofthe day, you know, it’s theCubs’ decision that’s reallythe basis of this decision.… It’s a great prize to try towin.

What have you observedabout Cougars fans thus far?

I’m very excited about thefocus on the game. … Whenthey clinched, my wife and Iwere there, and it was rain-ing and they had to cancelthe Jesse White Tumblersbut we still had fireworks.But it was a rainy Saturday,

and they stayed. And theystayed because they had beenclinching, clinching that title.And what was interesting tome was that the focus wasn’tabout the water balloons orcatching the T-shirt … thefocus was actually about whatwas going on on the field. …So if we can give them greatfamily entertainment anda great product on the fieldat the same time, that’s justa wonderful victory by theCubs.

How long have you gone by‘Dr. Bob?’

Oh, gosh, for like the last20 years. With a last namelike ‘Froehlich,’ that no onecan spell and, you know,someone in marketing at

Kemper Funds had said, ‘Youknow what, we’re tired of try-ing to spell your name; we’rejust going to go with the firstpart, and call you Dr. Bob,’and it sort of caught on to thetelevision part of it.

You mentioned semipro ballin Pittsburgh. What position didyou play?

Yeah, I was a centerfielder. It was the great Pitts-burgh Federation League, soit was the same league thatArt Howe and then the NFLHall-of-Famers played there,Dan Marino and Art Rooney,Sr. ... I had a great arm, prettyfast. My strenghths were myspeed and my arm. I blew myknee out in 1971, right beforeI went to college. I had to havesurgery. And for the springseason, I blew it out again. SoI had two surgeries, and thatended my [playing] days.

• CHIT-CHATContinued from page 28Schwarber plays 1st game as catcher

He also started behindthe plate for the first time intwo Midwest League games.Schwarber played left fieldThursday but was primarily acatcher at Indiana.

Tyler Bremer, who pitcheda perfect ninth for his ninthsave, conferred with Schwar-ber before the game and laudedhis pitch calling on the fly.

“He worked fast and I lovedit,” Bremer said. “Got loosequick and got to get in thereand had a lot of adrenaline go-ing and stuff. It was fun.”

Third baseman Jeimer Can-delario, who transferred fromDaytona back to the Cougarsat the All-Star break, createda save situation for Bremer byknocking a go-ahead, two-rundouble in the eighth to scoreYasiel Balaguert and JacobRogers.

Rogers, the Cougars’ firstbaseman, enjoyed a busy nightas he prepared for the arrivalof his parents from Clearwater,Florida. They hadn’t watchedhim play since last season atBoise.

Rogers impressed early,tripling to right to lead offthe second inning and scor-

ing two batters later. A recenthome custom that greets eachof his hits with the iconic re-frain from those Aaron Rodg-ers State Farm commercials– “RODGERS! DISCOUNTDOUBLE-CHECK!” – providedRogers with another link to hispast.

“Even though it’s spelled alittle different, guys in collegewould do it all the time,” Rog-ers said, grinning.

Mark Johnson welcomedhis family from Warner Rob-ins, Georgia, earlier this week.His young son, Will, easily isthe most visible member, hang-ing with his dad and players inthe clubhouse before helpingkeep things light as pitchers

chart the game in the press box.On Thursday night, Will

Johnson channeled a formermajor league catcher whowasn’t his father. Makinglike noted tarp-slider RickDempsey, the boy got plenty ofslip-and-slide mileage after theCougars’ rain-shortened win inthe series opener.

“Yeah. He has fun,” John-son said. “Every time it rains,all he wants to do is slide on thetarp a little. Gotta love the en-thusiasm.”

At this point, that passiondoesn’t seem to be going any-where.

What’s that again aboutthings changing and still say-ing the same?

31WEEKEND LIFETeenagers offer own unique

brand of constructive criticismIt’s mildly disconcert-

ing to be critiqued by youroffspring. Especially whenthey’re teenagers. By then,they’re really “on” to you.Know what I mean? They“see” you, even size you up,much as your peers might– but if you’re lucky, like Iam, they’ll also share theirobservations with you.

You know, like my per-sonal favorite, “You chewso loudly.” Yup, good times.(I’m beginning to develop acomplex. Do strangers thinkI chew “weird,” I wonder?)

Oh, how I miss the dayswhen my children issuedlove notes, instead. Now, I’djust settle for a day withoutsnark.

Whilst rummagingthrough a box of old picturesthis week, in search of afew to bring to our familyreunion, I happened upon abundle of their sweet notes tome. Oh, what a joy, to stum-ble upon the first one, the “Ilove you, Mom!” scribbled onsketch paper in “little-kid”handwriting so many yearsago, the edge still raggedfrom being torn from thepad, and illustrated with ahuge heart. The heart fillsthe page. It was displayed onmy fridge for months.

There are a few tears anda few more ragged edges,now.

I haven’t gotten one inquite a while. These days, mykids are adolescents, and I’mmore apt to inspire embar-rassment than admiration.

Seems my ways are nowconsidered cringe-worthy. Itotally get it, and even stifle

a smile, when I have thewherewithal.

Parents of teenagers cansurely relate. Seems wemortify our dear offspringwithout even trying.

For example, not only doI chew loudly, but I speakloudly, too. And even laughway too enthusiastically – soI’m told.

“We’re already ‘that’family, and we haven’t evengotten on the plane,” Hollysaid, as I giggled at the gatebefore we boarded, bound forour reunion. Ah, yes, the old“laughing in public” offense.

From now on, wheneverI feel waves of adolescentsnark coming my way, well,first I’ll try to look for anygrains of truth they may de-liver (no one dishes out morecandor than a teenager) – butthen I’ll remember the sweetlittle note with the big heart,and let my heart swell oncemore.

The love “notes” my kidsissue these days may look alittle different – and may beharder to read – but they’renot lost on me.

“That” family? Why yes,yes indeed.

Applying All Season oil when temperatures are below 80 degrees is one method of disease preventionfor roses.

As we move into the warmest days of theseason, many will see their roses begin todecline. Mildew, black spot, rust.

Did you know that you can effectively inoc-ulate your roses against disease? Yes, you can!

All Season Oil, applied when temperaturesare below 80 degrees, is one method of diseaseprevention. All Season Oil is a more refinedform of dormant oil and is used to smotheroverwintering insects in the spring, as well asdisease spores. It has been used for centuriesand is one of the best and safest alternatives tochemical substances. But it must be used whentemperatures will remain below 80 degrees for24 hours to avoid burning the foliage. For easeof use, purchase one that can be attached toa hose, and spray according to labeled direc-tions. (The oil is toxic to smoke bushes so besure to avoid them). It’s a great preventativeand control for insects and disease spores.

The second weapon in your arsenal fordisease prevention is sulphur, another organicsubstance. It prevents, and to some extentcontrols, all of the above diseases. Find a con-centrate, buy an inexpensive spray bottle, and

spray your roses (underside as well, please)when conditions are right for disease (humiddays and cool nights). Again, observe the 80degree limit.

Weapon No. 3 is liquid seaweed, which youcan buy in concentrated form and spray onyour roses from top to bottom (undersides, too,please). It is recommended by rosarians for areason. It is sold as a powder as well as a liq-uid. It boosts plant nutrition and, when used asa spray, (I give my roses a spritz every week)seems to keep roses largely disease free.

All of these can be found in gardencenters, hardware stores or on the Internet.All can be applied with a hose end sprayerfor easy and quick application. None areexpensive.

Another benefit of using these prod-ucts is they allow you to really look at

the beautiful roses you grow and spotproblems early as you are admiringtheir beauty.

One caution: Don’t use these prod-ucts on roses that are dry. They willabsorb too much of any product applied

when dry and burn. (This includesfertilizers, too.) You can water rosesbeforehand or apply products afterrainfall.

Try these methods of diseasecontrol, and growing roses will be a

‘Jersey Boys’: Catchy, but a few falsettomovesBy STEPHANIE MERRYThe Washington Post

Movies of musicals are usually a crashcourse for Hollywood A-listers. Actorsnot known for their singing skills aresuddenly expected to warble their waythrough a story. You see Meryl Streepshimmying and strutting to Abba in“Mamma Mia!” and Renee Zellwegerhitting the high notes in “Chicago,” John-ny Depp cutting hair and throats whilechanneling Sondheim in “Sweeney Todd”and Hugh Jackman making us weep asJean Valjean in “Les Miserables.”

And what of the Broadway superstarswho gave the musicals the cachet towarrant the film adaptations? They’restill performing night after night onstage,since their names aren’t recognizableenough to score big box office numbers –much less get proper introductions at theOscars (ahem, “Adele Dazeem”).

“Jersey Boys” is an exception. Themost recognizable stars in Clint East-wood’s adaptation of the Tony-winningplay about the 1960s band the FourSeasons are Christopher Walken andthat guy from “The Sopranos” (whoupon post-movie Googling turns out to beSteve Schirripa). John Lloyd Young playsFrankie Valli, a role the actor originatedon Broadway. He won a Tony for his

work, but this is only his second featurefilm after a 2009 romantic comedy called“Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!”

Of course, who in Hollywood couldpossibly mimic Frankie Valli’s formida-ble falsetto? Just imagine James Francotrying to get through “Big Girls Don’tCry.” On second thought, don’t.

Young might not be a householdname, but he can sing and act onstageand on camera. And the rest of the castis also made up of musical theater talent:Michael Lomenda, who plays the deep-voiced Nick Massi, and Erich Bergen,as singer-songwriter Bob Gaudio, bothreturn to roles they played during theshow’s first national tour. The fourthband member, Tommy DeVito, is playedby “Boardwalk Empire” regular VincentPiazza.

The cast list isn’t the only way East-wood stays true to the original incarna-tion. Seeing the movie onscreen is a lotlike seeing it in a playhouse – and that’sOK. After all, the story is dramatic, withits tale of kids from a rough neighbor-hood who shoot to fame with catchy hitafter catchy hit but can’t quite keep ittogether. Plus, the dialogue is witty andthe music is phenomenal.

There isn’t a lot of fancy camerawork or special effects, and the movieeven retains the way characters directly

addressed the audience in the play. Thisparticular gimmick feels a little unnec-essary in the adaptation. Facial expres-sions, which aren’t always visible for atheater audience, can do a lot of explain-ing in films: When Bob hears Frankiesing for the first time, for instance, alook of astonishment comes over his facebefore he turns to the camera and says,“After 30 seconds, I know I need to writefor this voice.” But we figured that outalready.

The movie, like the play, also over-stuffs the plot. Valli suffered a harrowingfamily tragedy that makes its way intothe narrative. Yet with so much attentionpaid to the band and so little paid to hispersonal life up until that point, the mis-fortune feels shoehorned into the storyas a way to exhibit the hero hitting rockbottom.

Overall though, fans of the play will bepleased. And for those that love the FourSeasons’ music but haven’t made it to theplay, you can put your fear of missing outto rest. This is a much more affordableway to very nearly re-create the experi-ence.

• “Jersey Boys” received two-and-a-half stars out of four. The film is ratedR and contains language. It runs 134minutes.

Dear Doctor K: I’m a healthy50-year-old woman. Do I needto take a multivitamin/mineralsupplement?

Dear Reader:Following the newson supplements is like watching apingpong match. One study findssupplements improve health, thenanother study questions their ben-efit. Back and forth they go.

One recommendation aboutvitamin supplements is not indispute: Women of childbearingage should take folic acid supple-ments. Folic acid (often classifiedwith the B vitamins) reduces therisk of a woman giving birth to ababy with neural tube defects. Themost common of these defects iscalled spina bifida. Neural tubedefects can cause permanentneurological damage: difficul-ty swallowing, breathing andmoving. IF YOU ARE A WOMANOF CHILDBEARING AGE WHOWANTS CHILDREN, AND YOUARE NOT TAKING DAILY FOLICACID SUPPLEMENTS, TALK TOYOUR DOCTOR: YOU PROBA-BLY SHOULD BE. Did I say thatloud enough?

Another recommendationthat is not in dispute: If you haveosteoporosis (thin bones) or osteo-penia (borderline thin bones), youshould talk to your doctor abouttaking vitamin D, along with calci-um. They protect your bones.

Now we get into the controver-sy. Last year, the U.S. PreventiveServices Task Force, a panel of dis-ease prevention experts, reviewedresearch published over the pastdecade. The task force concludedthere isn’t enough evidence to sup-port use of vitamin and mineralsupplements to prevent heart dis-ease, cancer or deaths from thesediseases in healthy adults. So, doesthis close the book on supplementsfor disease prevention?

My colleague Dr. HowardSesso, an epidemiologist atHarvard-affiliated Brigham andWomen’s Hospital, doesn’t thinkso. As an example, he points to thePhysician’s Health Study. Thislarge, well-designed study foundtaking a daily multivitamin sig-nificantly reduced cancer risk.

Individual vitamins andminerals, such as vitamin D, alsowarrant further study. A numberof observational studies suggest vi-tamin D may help prevent chronicdiseases, besides its beneficialeffect on thin bones. Dr. Sessois working on a large, long-termtrial that will study the effects ofvitamin D on cancer, heart disease

and stroke risks.While the research continues,

ask your doctor for an individual-ized recommendation. If you haveor are at risk for osteoporosis, forexample, your doctor will likelyrecommend calcium and vitaminD.

You can also consider a dailymultivitamin if your diet is lessthan perfect. It doesn’t replace abalanced diet, but it can help fillnutritional gaps. And we don’tknow of health risks from taking amultivitamin.

If you choose to take a supple-ment, stick with the major brands.They are well tested and are morelikely to fall in line with recom-mended doses. (I’ve put tableslisting recommended amountsof vitamins and minerals on mywebsite, AskDoctorK.com.)

Avoid specialized multivita-min formulations – for immunitysupport, heart health, energy, etc.– unless your doctor recommendsotherwise. One exception: If youare over age 50, choose a vitamindesigned for seniors. It will con-tain the right vitamin and minerallevels for you.

Dr.Wallace: I’m 16

and consider myself to

be very healthy even

though I’m on the slim

side. I’m active in sports

and exercise five days a

week. I’m very serious

about eating well-bal-

anced nutritious foods

and I get proper rest. I

guess you could call me

a “fitness freak.”

About three months

ago, my grandfather

died, and it was decided

that my grandmother

would live with us. I

love her dearly, but she

is a bit opinionated. She

is trying to convince

my parents that I’m

“almost” anorexic and

that I need to “put some

fat on my bones.”

Now, even my dad

thinks that I’m under-

nourished.

What can I do to

convince my parents

and my grandmother

that I don’t need to gain

weight to be healthy?

– Margo, Las Vegas,Nevada

DearMargo: Make

sure your family reads

this response.

According to Dr.

Grant Gwinup, profes-

sor of medicine at the

University of California

at Irvine, overeating and

its consequence, being

overweight, is the major

problem of North Ameri-

cans.

Overweight people

die at increased rates

of everything you can

think of – heart disease,

cancer, diabetes, gall

bladder, liver and brain

disease.

“The fatter one is, the

greater one’s chances

are to have these diseas-

es,” says Gwinup. “Not

only do the diseases

eventually cause death,

they also change the

quality of one’s life by

destroying one’s health.

Statistics on thin people

tend to indicate that the

less fat a person carries

the better.”

Dr.Wallace: Last week

my friend was given

a new car for her 18th

birthday. Yesterday, she

called me and wanted to

go for a ride in her birth-

day present, so we drove

up to the mountains and

had lunch in Big Bear.

We had a nice day and

then drove back home.

The only problem

is that we are both still

in high school and the

school called my mom

and asked why I wasn’t

in school. My mom

said she thought I was

in school, so when I

got home I was in big

trouble. My mom really

got upset and grounded

me for a whopping six

weeks!

I know that I

shouldn’t have skipped

school (it was my first

time ever), but I don’t

think being grounded

for half the summer is

fair. What do you think?

– Nameless, HuntingtonBeach, California

Dear Nameless: Skip-

ping school is a serious

“mistake.” Many par-

ents, who thought their

daughter was at school,

have received a phone

call from authorities in-

forming them of serious

situations ranging from

auto accidents to serious

crimes. Your mother

had a right to be upset.

You deserved a stiff

discipline, but, in my

opinion, two weeks of

restriction should be

adequate as long as you

promise to never skip

school again

Dear Abby: “Barney” and I arein our 40s and have been marriedtwo years. Barney is a neatnik.His nighttime ritual of cleaning upbefore bed takes an hour or more.Before we can be intimate, thisritual must be performed, whichrules out anything in the afternoonor that’s spontaneous.

Barney is also a night owl.Sometimes he goes straight fromthe shower to the Internet or read-ing, ignoring sex altogether, evenif we planned and talked about itwhile getting ready to clean up.

I have fallen asleep many nightswaiting for him, only to awakenhours later and see he’s still not be-side me. When we discuss it later,he says it’s a selfish habit he “gotaway with” in his last marriage.He enjoys sex but becomes easilydistracted.

Should we seek counseling forthis or try something else? Barneydisplays all the signs of ADD and

has since his childhood days. –Frustrated In Clinton, Iowa

Dear Frustrated:By all meansseek counseling. The ritual youdescribed could be a symptom ofa disorder, or your husband mayhave a very weak sex drive. How-ever, one thing is clear: If Barneyisn’t in bed with you, it’s becausehe’d rather be elsewhere.

For your sake, the sooner youget some straight answers the bet-ter you’ll be. His comment about“getting away with it” tells me heknows what he’s doing wasn’t fairto his last wife, and it isn’t fair toyou.

Dear Abby:For the last 10 years,my friends and I have gottentogether on a fairly regular basis.

We always bring potluck to share.“Cindy” would only contribute abag of chips. We finally told herwe thought the offerings wereunequal, so she shaped up.

We recently celebrated mybirthday at my house, and Cindy“surprised” me with a beautifulblueberry crumble cake (herspecialty). A half-hour later, sheannounced she had to leave andwanted to take the cake with her.Then she put it in the containershe had brought it in and left.

I’m thinking about confrontingher, but am I being petty? – Desert-ed Dessert Lover

Dear D.D.L.:Petty? I don’t thinkso. I don’t know what qualities youlook for in a close friend, but Cindyappears to be unusually self-cen-tered. Don’t count on Cindy foranything.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Jimmy Carter, in his farewellpresidential address, said, “OurAmerican values are not luxuries,but necessities – not the salt in ourbread, but the bread itself.”

Bridge is full of rules that needto be taken with a large pinch ofsalt. Always treat each deal on itsown merits; do not thoughtlesslyassume that the “textbook” playwill be right.

How does that apply to thisdeal? South is in three no-trump.West leads his fourth-highestheart. South takes East’s 10 withhis king and runs the diamond 10.What should happen after that?

South did not like to open oneno-trump with two unstoppedsuits, but he had no more accuratesequence available.

The books recommend return-ing partner’s suit in no-trump– and it is true that that will beright much more often than not.(In a suit contract, shifting will bebetter a lot of the time.) But if Eastdoes that here, South will take thetrick with his heart ace and driveout West’s diamond ace. Westmay shift to a club, but declarerplays low from the dummy andloses only two diamonds and twoclubs.

Instead, East should pausefor thought at trick three. SurelyWest has the diamond ace,because if South had that card,he would have cashed it beforetrying the diamond finesse. Andif West is about to gain the lead,East should see how to defeat thecontract. At trick three, he leadshis club three.

South wins with his 10 andcontinues diamonds, but Westshould take the trick and lead hissecond club. Then East gets threetricks in the suit to defeat thecontract.

Take the rule bookwith a pinch of salt
