IN FOCUSA weekly feature by Sandy Bressner, photo editor at the Kane County Chronicle
Iventured to Big Rock thisweek to photograph someGirl Scouts from the Elburn
and Sugar Grove areas as theyparticipated in a day camp atCamp Dean.When I arrived, the girls were
working on crafts as some wait-
ed out a little bit of rain – theywere scheduled to play in theswimming pool.Like my own Girl Scout camp
that I attended during my young-er years, there were tie-dye proj-ects going on and girls eatingtheir lunches out of brown paper
bags with their names splashedall over them.But in addition to that, the
girls were working on handprintpieces of art as part of a newpartnership, a Kindness Cam-paign.On these drawings were hearts
and peace signs and wordsexclaiming what it means to bekind. I thought it was so simpleand so brilliant.Be kind. Make others happy.
Trust. Forgive. That’s what weshould all strive for in life.
– Sandy Bressner
Batavia Pantry to become liquor storeBy ERIC SCHELKOPF
BATAVIA – The owners ofBatavia Pantry have been giv-en permission to convert thebusiness into a liquor store.
Batavia aldermen Mondayapproved the request. BataviaPantry, which currently doesnot sell alcohol, is in a shop-ping center at Wilson Streetand Raddant Road on the city’seast side.
Yogi Patel, whose fatherowns the store, said the tran-sition will take a few months.The new store will be called
Batavia Pantry and Liquor,and it also will sell snacks, butno groceries or packaged food,Patel said.
Patel said the store hasbeen struggling since it opened
more than a year ago. ChicagoPizza and Catering is the onlyother business in the shoppingcenter.
“We are not selling manygroceries,” Patel said. “It ishard to survive.”
City staff had recommend-ed approval of the change.
“The loss of the food aspectwill be detrimental to the area,but it has not been successfulanyway,” Batavia City Admin-istrator Bill McGrath said in amemo to aldermen.
As a Class B liquor licenseholder, the store can be openfrom 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sundays
through Thursdays, and 9 a.m.to midnight Fridays and Sat-urdays.
“The loss of the foodaspect will be detrimen-tal to the area, but it

Military historian documents St. Charles VFW post’s demolition
‘It represents patriotism tome’
By ASHLEY [email protected]
ST. CHARLES – For threedays last month, formerarmy medic Steve Thompsonwatched as crews demolishedthe building once home toVeterans of Foreign Wars Me-morial Post No. 5036 in down-town St. Charles.
“To me,” the 73-year-oldretiree said, “it was very sadto see it come down because itwas like an end of an era.”
The building at 119 N.Third St. in St. Charles wasconstructed in 1952 and ex-panded in 1986.
It recently was sold to thecity of St. Charles, whichplans to build a public park-ing lot in its place. City offi-cials have said the parking lotshould be finished by Oct. 1.
A l t h o u g h T h o m p s o nwasn’t a member of the VFW,he often would have coffeewith veterans there. He saidthe old post was more thanbricks and mortar.
“It represents patriotism tome,” Thompson said.
Others apparently felt aconnection with it. At onepoint, Thompson said, an oldveteran saluted it because itwas his last chance, and noless than a couple of dozenpassers-by stopped and askedThompson what was going on.
“I’m a military historian,”Thompson said. “To me, thisis part of history.”
Believing the former VFWpost deserved proper recogni-tion, Thompson said he tooka couple of hundred photo-graphs documenting its dem-olition. He labeled an image ofthe last wall to fall – the frontentrance – “Last Wall Stand-ing.”
In a written description ofthe photograph, Thompsonexplained the significance ofthe timing of its destruction.
“It fell on Saturday, July27, which was also the sameday as the 60th anniversary ofthe end of the Korean War,”he said.

ComEd is expected to soonunveil its first thoughts onwhere it would like to stringabout 60 miles of new high-volt-age power lines through KaneCounty to Ogle County.
And residents of Kane,DeKalb and other counties inthe path of the proposed newrun of power lines will have achance to examine and soundoff on the plan.
Next week, the electric util-ity will host three public openhouses on its Grand PrairieGateway project.
The first open house will beTuesday in Rochelle, with openhouses to follow Wednesdayat the South Elgin Lions Club,500 Fulton St., South Elgin, andThursday at the DeKalb CountyFarm Bureau, 1350 W. PrairieDrive, Sycamore.
Each open house will runfrom 4 to 7 p.m.
ComEd has said the openhouses are intended to collectfeedback from the public andlocal governmental leaders re-garding the route the powerlines could take through the re-gion.
Under the proposed project,ComEd would run the powerlines from its substation nearWayne to a substation near By-ron in Ogle County.
ComEd said the project isneeded to make the regionalpower grid more efficient and
head off distribution problemsit anticipates to worsen in com-ing years.
There are currently no trans-mission lines running directlybetween the Wayne and Byronsubstations. Lines from the By-ron station connect with linesto northwestern Illinois. Linesfrom Wayne run to the Chicagoarea.
ComEd representatives havenot yet indicated where the util-ity intends to run the new powerlines. They said they will issue apreliminary primary route pro-posal next week, which will berefined based on public input.
The route will be laid some-where within a 700-square-milestudy area. In Kane County, thatstudy area includes much of thecounty’s northern and centraltownships.
ComEd has said it intendsto seek state permission for thepower line project later thisyear.

BATAVIA – Thanks inpart to Bird is the Wordemployee Jenny Rychter,an injured Canada gooseno longer is nursing a soreleg.
Rychter and veterinar-ian Scott McDonald, whoowns a bird practice, latelast month successfully re-moved a fishing line thatwas embedded under theskin of a goose and con-stricting one of the goose’slegs.
Rychter said the goosehangs out near the store,
which is near the Fox Riv-er in downtown Batavia.
“It was wrapped allaround its leg, and it wasthere for so long that skinhad grown over it,” Rych-ter said.
One of her first chal-l e n g e s , h o w e v e r , w a scatching the goose so theycould treat it.
“I tried for quite a fewhours,” Rychter said. “Ieven jumped into the FoxRiver to try to catch it.”
Rychter said she finallywas able to catch the gooseby trapping it against awall with a large blanket.After the fishing line was
removed, Rychter and Mc-Donald released the goose,and the goose joined hermate and their three gos-lings.
“She was instantly walk-ing better right after thefishing line was removed,”Rychter said. “She seemsto be walking at a normalpace now. She has barely alimp left to her walk.”
But the goose still ishesitant about Rychter get-ting close to it.
“If I go near her, shehisses at me,” Rychtersaid. “But that’s OK. I feltreally good I was able tohelp.”

As Illinois prepares for rulesto initiate the concealed-carrygun law, Batavia resident Kev-in Celia will be ready.
Celia, 56, does range shoot-ing and is a range safety officer,a National Rifle Association in-structor for pistol use and per-sonal home protection.
Celia is among those whosupport the Legislature’soverride of Gov. Pat Quinn’samendatory veto of the con-cealed-carry bill, which madeIllinois the 50th state to haveconcealed-carry legislation.Shooting instructors and gunsellers are gearing up to meetthe expected interest, estimat-ed at more than 325,000 appli-cations, according to state of-ficials.
“Honestly, I think it’s a greatthing,” Celia said. “People havean option now of being respon-sible for their own safety. Ofcourse, they depend on law en-forcement to protect them. Butin a situation where you can’tget a police officer right away– especially when it comes toyour family – you want to beable to protect them.”
Celia said he expects to beteaching a lot of concealed-car-ry classes as the Illinois law,much stricter than other states’laws, requires 16 hours of train-ing. Illinois State Police spokes-woman Monique Bond said thestate police have been workingon specifications for the newlaw. House Bill 148, which cre-ated the Family and PersonalProtection Act, is likely to gointo effect early next year.
“Because we need time toimplement it,” Bond said. “Wehave 180 days from when theveto was overridden. ... It’svery complicated and not sosimple.”
Among the issues still beingworked out is consistent sig-nage for businesses that will orwill not allow concealed carry,and businesses that will not al-low employees to bring guns towork, Bond said.
Language in the law bansconcealed firearms from bars,
government buildings, gamingfacilities, airports, amusementparks, sporting events andmental health facilities, amongothers.
It also restricts those whocan successfully apply for theconcealed-carry permit to be atleast 21 years old, not convictedof a felony or misdemeanor in-volving the threat of physicalforce or violence or a drug con-viction in the 10 years preced-ing the application, accordingto the law.
Those who are mental hos-pital patients or who have beenconvicted twice of drunken
driving within the previousfive years also are ineligible,according to the law.
• • •
Not everyone is happy theconcealed-carry law passed,such as Geneva resident JeanPierce, a co-chair of the IssuesCommittee of the League ofWomen Voters of Illinois.
“The League supports ‘re-strictive regulation of all hand-guns and ammunition.’ Withthat in mind, I am very con-cerned that the concealed-car-ry law, which passed, does nothave sufficient restrictions,”Pierce said in an email re-
sponse to a question.“For instance, according
to the bill, people could carryconcealed weapons into restau-rants serving alcohol or eveninto churches and other placesof worship. This seems to be ex-tremely short-sighted,” Piercesaid.
Stop Concealed Carry wasorganized specifically to opposeconcealed carry in Illinois, saidorganizer Lee Goodman.
“We organized prior to thefederal court decision,” saidGoodman, referring to the 7thCircuit decision that found thestate’s ban on concealed carry
was unconstitutional.Goodman said the 7th is
the only circuit that made thatdecision, as others decidedcontrary. He said if AttorneyGeneral Lisa Madigan had ap-pealed the decision to the U.S.Supreme Court within therequired timeframe, it likelywould have been overturned.
“The whole thing is basedon an erroneous decision,”Goodman said. “It’s a difficultsituation. We do not want to seemore people killed.”
One option would be for thegroup to work on repealing thelaw – or to be part of an effort torepeal the Second Amendment,he said.
• • •
According to the bill’s fis-cal impact statement, the Illi-nois State Police will need 25new civilian employees, plustwo contractual workers forsix months each, $51,000 forequipment and materials atan additional cost of nearly $3million to meet the estimated325,000 people who will wantconcealed-carry permits.
The bill also is expected togenerate nearly $32 million inrevenue, based on record levelsof firearms owners identifica-tion cards. The cost for a con-cealed-carry permit is $150 forfive years for Illinois residentsand $300 for five years for out-of-state residents.
Greg Tropino, owner ofG.A.T. Guns in East Dundee,said he already has 2,000 peo-ple on a waiting list for con-cealed-carry training as soonas the state works out its rules.

MAPLE PARK – A promi-nent local businessman willnot serve out his term on theKaneland School District 302board.
Joe Oberweis, presidentand CEO of Oberweis Dairyand son of state Sen. JimOberweis, R-Sugar Grove,confirmed Thursday that heintends to submit a letter ofresignation to administra-tors and his colleagues onthe board.
Oberweis said he is re-signing because he and hisfamily are moving into a newhome in Batavia, which isoutside the Kaneland districtboundaries.
“My understanding inspeaking with the district’slegal counsel is that if youno longer live in the district,you cannot continue serv-ing on the board,” Oberweissaid. “So with my kids get-ting ready to start school in anew district ... it was best tooffer the board the flexibili-
ty and the timing they needto start the school year witha new board member in myplace.”
Oberweis, of Sugar Grove,served on the Kanelandboard for a little more thantwo years.
He was elected in 2011from among afield of sevencandidates to afour-year term.
W h e n h er a n f o r t h eboard, Ober-weis touted hisexperience asan executive
at his family’s North Auro-ra-based business to high-light his skills at “solvingproblems.”
During his time on theboard, Oberweis served asa member of the bargainingcommittee that negotiateda new contract with Kane-land’s teachers.
He said that achievementby the board was notablefor its success at improvingrelations between district
employees and administra-tion.
“It’s a huge testament to[District 302 SuperintendentJeff Schuler] and the teach-ers that the conflict was re-solved so early on, and sopositively,” Oberweis said.
He said he was proud ofthe decisions the board andadministrators have madeduring “difficult economictimes.”
“It’s a great organiza-tion,” Oberweis said. “And Iam certainly disappointed tonot be a part of it going for-ward.”
The Kaneland board isexpected to begin discussinghow to replace Oberweis atits meeting Monday.
Oberweis said he has notdecided whether he will seekan office in his new home-town of Batavia.
“I didn’t see serving onthe [Kaneland] board as astepping stone to do some-thing else,” Oberweis said.“For me, it was a way to addvalue to my community andbe a part of what’s going on.”
Joe
Oberweis
Joe Oberweis will resignfromD-302 school board
“We have invested hun-dreds of thousands of dollarsin teaching facilities and newranges; we have all our in-structors lined up,” Tropinosaid. “It’s getting closer andcloser every day.”
Valinda Rowe, spokes-woman for www.IllinoisCar-ry.com, said her organizationspent the past nine yearsholding town hall meetingsthroughout the state.
Rowe said she believes itsimplementation will go assmoothly here as elsewhere.
“Indiana has had con-
cealed carry for 75 years.They don’t require any kindof training, and you can get alifetime license,” Rowe said.“Florida has had concealedcarry for more than 20 years.”
While some may get jitteryabout concealed firearms inpublic places, such as restau-rants or grocery stores, Rowesaid anyone from Illinois whotravels to other states alreadyhas been in areas where res-idents are legally allowed tobe armed.
“The people who gothrough the process of doingthis, they are smallest seg-ment of the public to commitany crime, let alone violentcrime,” Rowe said.

MAPLE PARK
Fun Fest organizersseek fireworks space
By NICOLE [email protected]
MAPLE PARK – MaplePark Fun Fest’s fireworksshow might be in jeopardythis year if organizers can’tfind a big enough space to setoff the display.
The festival is set for Aug.31 to Sept. 2. The fireworksshow is slated for Sept. 1.
In previous years, the fire-works were staged in a par-tially developed subdivision,Squire’s Crossing, said BethMiller, who does marketingand public relations for thefestival.
The developer in past yearshad given festival organizerspermission to set off fireworksfrom that location.
That agreement continuedonce a bank took ownershipof the development, she said,and festival organizers wereable to lease the propertyduring the festival. But thatspace is not available thisyear because the bank is inthe process of selling some ofthe properties, and a new con-tract prevents the bank fromleasing space in the subdivi-sion, Miller said.
“We’re trying to come upwith different ideas,” she saidabout where the fireworks canbe displayed this year. “It’skind of funny that we’re in themiddle of cornfields here, andwe can’t find space.”
She said festival organiz-ers are looking for a spacethat has at least a 350-foot
clearance from any buildings.A space that’s at least 500feet away from any buildingswould be ideal.
“Then we can do the realbig stuff if we have 500 feet,”she said.
Miller said organizersraised about $1,000 more thantheir $5,000 goal this year topurchase more fireworks tofill out the show, which usual-ly lasts about a half-hour.
Miller said anyone whoknows of space that couldwork should contact festi-val organizers by sending anemail to [email protected] or visiting the fes-tival’s Facebook page.
The festival takes placemostly on Main Street in thevillage.

Not going awayTo the Editor:
I wish to comment on Jerry
Marchese’s letter about the
Zimmerman verdict and race
(Kane County Chronicle, July
26, 2013), and I must say I do
agree with his last point – the
issue is not going to go away
any time soon.
On the Internet one morning,
I saw something that remind-ed me of the last flying B-29
Superfortress aircraft, named
FIFI. A mother of eight and the
only nonwhite juror on the Zim-merman jury looking full-face
into the camera on networkTV, saying how she cannot
sleep, so unfair to the family of
the slain teenager. Her heart is
aching.
So, let us recap how this
mother felt – a teenager is
followed home by someone
driving a car then they get out
and follow on foot. They have a
gun; the teenager did not. It’s
dark, and they did not know
this person following. The teen
may have felt threatened and
felt the need to defend himself.
Remember, Zimmerman was
the aggressor. Zimmerman de-cided to get out of his vehicle
and follow the teen. Why didn’t
Zimmerman let the police
handle everything, instead of
engaging the youth? Zimmer-man, it turns out, applied to
be a police officer and was
rejected.
Sometimes, I think being
raised in a crazy, mixed-up
family was a blessing. It gives
me insight to a behavior I have
often used myself. You know,
when you are upset or sad,
pretending everything is fine
because you must be a profes-sional “whatever.” The show
must go on. Paste on the plas-tic smile and wish everyone
a nice day. People, in general,
would like to pretend we don’t
have racism in America. Maybe
if we all pretend we don’t have
racism, it will go away.
Over the years, I have
engaged in discussions about
race over the Internet. I feel
pleased that President Barack
Obama has taken a moment
to put in his own perspective
on being black in America.
His statements come almost
one century after another U.S.
president endorsed a view-point of blacks so distorted and
hateful, in my view, it echoes
still today.
Even in the 21st century some
pockets of the South foster
old wounds. It was dangerous
to be black in the South in the
past, and – as I contend – it
often still is dangerous to be
black in the South.

How to capitalize on recent victory in child obesity fightBLOOMBERG NEWS
Finally, from the front-lines of the U.S. obesityepidemic comes promisingnews. Levels of obesityamong low-income babiesand toddlers have droppedin 19 states and territoriesby at least 1.8 percent and, insome places, as much as 19.1percent from 2008 to 2011.
This news isn’t just im-portant for the here and now;it holds big implications forthe future. Overweight orobese preschoolers are fivetimes as likely as other kidsto have lifelong weight prob-lems, increasing their risk ofheart disease, diabetes andearly death.
The researchers at theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention who foundthe positive trend amongpoor children can’t put theirfinger on why it’s happening,although they do suspect thatvarious government effortsto publicize the child obesityproblem are making a differ-ence. They specifically citeimprovements in the nutri-tional content of food pack-ages provided by the federalfood program for low-incomewomen and children. Thechildren in the obesity studywere part of this program.
What’s more, kids todaydrink less sugary soda thanthey did in 1999 (8 percentless, a recent study shows),
breastfeeding, which hasbeen correlated with rela-tively healthy weight gain inbabies, is gradually becom-ing more prevalent. In 2009,almost 79 percent of infants atleast started breast-feeding.
How can we build on thisearly success? Many statesand cities have banned sug-ar-sweetened drinks in K-12school programs. Preschoolsand daycare centers shouldbe coaxed to follow suit – andto restrict not only sodas butalso fruit drinks and sportsbeverages. Water can do thetrick.
It’s also true that thechallenges of weight control– restricting sugary drinks,limiting TV time, serving
plenty of fresh vegetables andfruit at meals – fall dispropor-tionately on poorer fami-lies. It’s important to directhealthyweight messages tochildren in this cohort.
Small children of everyincome level are still vulnera-ble to advertising of fast foodand soft drinks on television.From 2009 to 2011, TV foodads targeted to childrenages 2 to 5 increased by 8.3percent, the Federal TradeCommission has found. If thefood industry can’t, on itsown, restrict commercials forchildren to foods that meetthe Dietary Guidelines forAmericans, then local, stateand federal policymakersshould consider setting man-
datory standards.As the United States
makes some strides againstobesity in small children,the rest of the world willwant to pay attention. TheWorld Health Organizationestimates that 40 million kidsyounger than 5 worldwide arenow overweight, including 10million in developing coun-tries, adding to an increasingglobal burden of noncommu-nicable diseases.
And to be clear, obesitystill afflicts one in eightAmerican preschoolers andone in six older children andadolescents. The news thatthe rate is falling among poorchildren is good, but it’s onlya start.

ST. CHARLES MEN’S GOLF TOURNAMENT
Some in tourney field hoping for bigger galleriesBy KEVIN DRULEY
ST. CHARLES – Mostgolfers who scoreda speedy first-round
match play victory in the St.Charles Men’s Tournamentlast weekend walked at leastanother few holes at Pot-tawatomie Golf Course.
They acknowledged eachother while inevitably con-verging on the same match,but the scene still seemedoddly incomplete.
Past champion JonWoods was closing out a 1-upnail-biter against returningrunner-up Garrett Patten onthe 18th green, and yet thegallery was inundated withmen hoping to have their ownfollowers.
The tournament is open toall players with St. Charlesmailing addresses. That goesfor spectators, too.
“Gets you out of the house.Walk around the golf course.Bring the wife. Bring the dog.Who the [heck] cares?” peren-
nial tournament contenderBrian Charles said. “I thinkmost people don’t realize theycan do that.”
Charles, who will not bepart of the championshipflight semifinals that begin at7 a.m. Saturday, formed thisstance years ago, as he gladlytrailed groups when he wasn’tcontending for a title.
He remembers a healthycrowd and some good buzz, anexperience he re-lived whileplacing second in the A-flightof the Aurora City Tourna-ment last month. Although headmittedly “backed” his wayinto a playoff, Charles didn’tseem to mind that the extraholes gave a group of about 25fans a meatier supply of freegolf.
“While that’s a stroke-playtournament and this is amatch-play tournament, it isfun to watch the matches, andI wish more people would dothat,” Charles said. “Becauseif it’s your kids or it’s theneighbor kids or the guyswho you kick it around with
on Wednesday afternoon inleague, it’s fun to actually seeit in your own backyard as op-posed to having paid 120 bucksto walk in the door.”
Defending champion MattDaly welcomed a supportsection that included his girl-friend during last summer’sfinal round.
It’s a safe bet the gregarious2004 St. Charles East alumnuswould not deter any nonac-quaintances from watching,but he doesn’t expect many.
“Probably other people justhave things to do,” Daly said.“Early-round matches tend tonot be as busy, but people tendto come out here once it gets alittle tighter and the field thinsout as it is.”
Earlier this summer,Pottawatomie pro Ron Skubiszand assistant Bill Ogiego citedexpanding family dynam-ics and the tournament’sthree-weekend format ascircumstances behind lowerplayer participation.

Academy junior Josh Rugglesset an unofficial world recordby swishing 135 3-pointers infive minutes Thursday after-noon.He took aim from the top of
the key at the Warriors’ gymfrom about 2:45 to 2:50 p.m.Ruggles shifted from the rightwing, the site of his previousshooting exhibitions, in aneffort to get a better look atthe basket and keep his olderbrother, Brandon, from retriev-ing too many long rebounds. Heattempted 147 threes overall, a91.8 percent success rate.“Shooting today definitely felt
a lot better than the previoustimes I shot,” said Ruggles, aWheaton resident who recentlyconnected on 111 threes in five
minutes. “I just got in a rhythmand didn’t feel tired at anypoint.”Ruggles’ family is touting the
feat as a world record. A videois posted online at YouTube.Laurie Koehn of the WNBA’sAtlanta Dream is believed tohold the previous mark of 132.Ruggles, the reigning IHSA Kingof the HIll 3-point shootingchamp, used two Wilson Evolu-tion basketballs.College basketball analyst

COUGARS 7, BEES 0
Peralta, Vogelbach help Cougars cruiseBy DENNIS D. [email protected]
GENEVA – Starling Peraltalived up to the first half of hisfirst name and Dan Vogelbachlived up to his reputation asone of the most-feared hittersin the Midwest League onThursday night as the Cougarsrouted Burlington, 7-0, at FifthThird Bank Ballpark.
Peralta (2-0) started on themound for the Cougars anddidn’t allow a hit until PedroToribio led off the sixth inningwith a line single to left. Peraltaretired the next two batters, butthen walked a pair to load thebases. Justin Amlung came onin relief and induced a ground-er to short by Julio Concepcionto end the threat.
Peralta was making his firsthome appearance for the Cou-gars (47-64 overall, 17-28 secondhalf) after not allowing a runin two road starts. He has nowthrown 13⅓ scoreless inningssince arriving from RookieLeague Mesa at the end of July.The right-hander started theseason at Advanced-A Dayto-na, but after giving up six homeruns in 14 innings and posting
a 12.86 ERA, he was sent toMesa to sort things out.
He allowed only two earnedruns in 13-plus innings in Ar-izona.
Peralta displayed goodmovement on a fastball that
he threw consistently at 93to94 mph and mixed in some off-speed offerings, particularlywhen ahead in the count.
“He was stellar,” Vogelbachsaid. “He got ahead early withhis fastball. Anytime you have
command of your fastball likehe did, you’re tough to hit.”
Vogelbach crushed an of-fering from Burlington starterPat Lowery (4-7) in the thirdinning for a three-run homerthat cleared the roof of the right
field party deck.“[Lowery] did a really good
job the first couple inningskeeping people off balance,” Vo-gelbach said. “He was throwinghis change-up in any count andon fastball counts, so it was 3-2with [runners on] second andthird and I knew he was goingto throw a change-up, so I justsat on it and I got it.”
Vogelbach has 17 homersand 71 RBIs on the season,putting him among the leagueleaders in both categories.
The Cougars added threemore runs in the fifth. OliverZapata started the rally againstthe Bees (44-67, 18-28) with abeautiful bunt single down thefirst-base line. He scored on atwo-out single by Carlos Es-cobar and Jose Dore followedwith a two-RBI hit to extend thelead to 7-0.
Giuseppe Papaccio drove inthe first run of the game with asecond-inning double high offthe left field wall.
A crowd of 10,238 packedthe ballpark for the 25th anni-versary of the first night gameat Wrigley Field. The Cougarswore Cubs jerseys to mark theoccasion.

Recounting Kaneland’s 1982 girls basketball team winning a state titleBy LUKE SRODULSKI
MAPLE PARK – For-mer Kaneland girlsbasketball coach
Rick Schairer doesn’t liketo use the word “dominant”when talking about his teams,but there probably isn’t a bet-ter way to describe the 1982state champion Knights.
Schairer’s 32-1 squad wasso good that they neededmore competition than theiropponents, so they starteda friendly rivalry with theKaneland boys team.
Both teams went down-state, but only the girls cameback with a state champion-ship. Although they obvious-ly wanted the best for theirclassmates, Lea Ann Brei(née Machias), a senior guardon the team, remembersteasing them with the phrase,“The boys went down, but thegirls got the crown.”
Rarely is an appearance inthe state finals not the mainstory, but that’s how it wasat Kaneland that year. Withthe football team struggling,basketball got the attention.
AN ESTABLISHED FOUNDATIONThe Knights were coming
off two regional titles in thepast three years, and expec-tations couldn’t have beenhigher. Schairer said he’llnever forget when MelissaOlmstead, a senior on the titleteam, claimed after her soph-omore year, “Coach, whenwe’re seniors, we’re going towin the whole thing.”
With the talent on theteam, it didn’t seem toofar-fetched. Brei was a starguard who went on to playat Mississippi College andBradley University, andLesley Hudgins was a 6-foot-4center who headed downstateafter graduation to play forthe University of Illinois. Butmore importantly, Schairersaid that every player knewher role and executed it.
“Since they’d been playingtogether for such a long peri-od of time, the team order had
kind of been established,”he said. “The kids who couldscore, scored, and the kidswho had to play defense,played defense. Every kidwas important and that wasdown to the statistician.”
When the season started,the Knights rolled to the fi-nals of a holiday tournamentin Hinsdale. But after fiveconsecutive wins to open theseason, they were upset byJoliet East.
It could have been a mo-ment that deflated the team,but the players used it as aspringboard. Expectationswere high, but it wouldn’tdeter them.
“We were just rising to theoccasion,” said Nancy Turk(née Feddersen), anothersenior on the 1982 team. “Thestandard was set, and wetried to reach it. There wasn’tany extra stress. We just didthe best we could.”
UTTER DOMINANCEAnd so began a dominat-
ing run of basketball. Whenthe Knights started LittleSeven Conference play, theiraverage margin of victory wasmore than 20 points a game.
Despite their singular fo-cus, the Knights still had fun.One day, the team came outto watch the sophomore gamebefore theirs, and Turk wassporting a huge, bright-or-ange afro. Schairer said henearly had a heart attackbefore realizing it was a wig.
“She just understood, alot of tension, a lot of pres-sure, let’s keep things loose,”Schairer said.
And it worked. Kanelanddidn’t lose another game.They weren’t playing theirbest basketball, Schairersays, but it was enough towin.
They’d need to do a littlebetter against Quincy Notre
Dame, which they met in thestate semifinals. The Raiderswere led by Caren Kemner,who would go on to win abronze medal with the U.S.Olympic volleyball teamin 1992. QND had finishedsecond the year before andwould capture back-to-backtitles afterward.
But not that year. TheKane County Bank presidentpassed out T-shirts to all thefans, making Assembly Hall inChampaign “a sea of orange,”and the team didn’t disappoint.The Knights won their 26thgame in a row, just one awayfrom their longtime goal.
DREAMS REALIZEDStanding in the way was
Massac County, who racedout to a halftime lead in thechampionship game, leavingKaneland in an unfamiliarposition. Schairer left them toponder their motto, “You got-
ta want it,” and the playersknew what they had to do.
“We weren’t going to let itslip away,” Brei says, “so wecame out a lot more energizedand a lot more intense. Werealized that it was an all-or-nothing time.”
Kaneland turned up thepressure and grabbed thelead, never to relinquish itagain. And when the buzzersounded, the Knights haddone what they set out to do.They won a state champion-ship in Class A.
“We had this moment ofreflection where we said,‘Wow, this is real. This ishappening,’ ” Turk said. “Itwas a little larger than life fora while.”
The excitement tooksome time to dissipate. Theteam’s hotel held a party forthem the next day, and thetrip home took a lot longerthan expected. The streetswere lined with people fromYorkville to Maple Park, andthe Knights stopped in eachcommunity to celebrate withtheir fans.
That parade showed thatthe 1982 team didn’t justshoulder the weight of theirown expectations. Theyplayed with the expectationsof a whole community, andthey fulfilled them. All thepieces fell into place thatyear, and a humble Schairersays he was just happy to be apart of it.
“It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime teams,” Schair-er said. “I just didn’t want toscrew anything up.”

RALLYING FOR A CURE
Royal Fox breast cancer fundraising event a joint effortBy KEVIN DRULEY
ST. CHARLES – The Royal FoxLadies Golf League raised $1,000 forbreast cancer research at its inaugu-ral Rally For A Cure golf tournament18 years ago.
“We thought we were pretty hotstuff,” chairwoman Pat Laverty said.
Laverty and her country club col-leagues desperately need a new de-scription these days. “Hot stuff” palesin comparison to their fundraisingprowess of the early 2010s.
The group contributed $42,000 lastsummer, and Laverty is optimisticTuesday’s outing will approach thatfigure as final numbers trickle in. It’senough to humble her many timesover, and also to vault Royal Fox’sRally event into the top 10 nationwideand No. 1 in Illinois.
“It’s the only fundraiser that the la-dies do, and it’s a very special event,”Laverty said. “We have a lot of can-cer survivors and we’d like to honorthem and we’d like to make sure that
those that are suffering from it nowget the best care they can and the bestresearch that’s available to them.”
Laverty, 64, took the reins of thetournament within the past decade,but has been part of each one in somecapacity. Sixty golfers participatedTuesday, with 20 other people donat-ing through a dinner after the golf.
Although she was not born in St.Charles, Laverty considers herself anative because her husband, Dick, is“a hometown boy” and the couple putthree sons through St. Charles East.
She became a Royal Fox memberin 1988 and immediately sensed thecamaraderie that has boosted thetournament to its current level.
If not for a joint effort betweenmembers – including volunteer ef-forts and businessmen working to se-cure hole sponsors or car dealershipbacking for “hole-in-one car holes”– who knows where things wouldstand?
“We always tell everybody, it’s notabout the golf, it’s about what we’retrying to do here today,” Laverty said.
“Everybody really gets behind thatand contributes to the cause.”
Laverty cited the courage of anumber of friends who have foughtbreast cancer for inspiring her to useher knack for organization.
A retired former Ace Hardwareinventory and customer service em-ployee, she typically begins fund-raising and other efforts about fivemonths before the event, which isheld annually on the first Tuesday inAugust.
That puts the 2014 tournament 362days away.
“The battle goes on. There’s alwaysan easy way to get involved. There’san easy way to help,” Laverty said.“You just have to look for it some-times. I’m hoping that people will seewhat we do at Royal Fox and want toget involved in some way or another.”

Play it again, Sam
Geneva resident Sam Bradberry, club
pro at Hughes Creek in Elburn, sees
more of his and other courses than just
the office.
“Playing is a big part of it,” he said.
“The guys [other pros], we all complain
that we don’t get to play enough, but
you’ve got to make enough time to
play.”
Bradberry promised himself he’d do
just that as next week’s Illinois PGA
Senior Championship at Lincolnshire
Country Club approached. He’s part of
the 46-player field that will compete in
36 holes of stroke play over Monday and
Tuesday.
That doesn’t mean he has cut away
from any other of his many duties,
which included monitoring an outing
Thursday afternoon.
“We’ve been busy and we’re in great
shape right now,” he said, “and that’s
about it.”
Hill of a midweek deal
Fall sports practices for high school
athletes begin Wednesday, but one deal
among the online specials at Settler’s
Hill Golf Course in Batavia promises
one more rather affordable recreational
outing for the road.
A $25 Tuesday and Wednesday mid-
day special – the price for 18 holes with
a cart for all tee times between 11:45
a.m. and 1:45 p.m. – expires Wednes-
day.
Golfers must present a coupon from
www.settlershill.com to receive the

That may be, but the fieldmaking that late-summerinvestment in their coursewon’t soon back down fromthe dramatic merits of
match play. Woods closedwith a pair of pars to erasea late deficit, and won whenPatten was unable to makea par putt from the fringe.
“You can’t really com-plain about that,” said Rich-ard Geier, a championshipflight qualifier who caught
the match’s latter stages.“Especially match play. Letyour opponent beat you.”
Fewer than 24 hours lat-er, Woods experienced theother side of the equation,losing to Daly in 20 holes,1-up.
“St. Charles isn’t a big
town to begin with. Notas big as Aurora, right?”Charles said. “And peoplego, ‘Oh, Pottawatomie, it’sonly nine holes.’ And thenthey come out here, andthey putt on these greensand they go, ‘Jeez.’ That’swhere the difficulty is.”
Charles credited latecourse designer RobertTrent Jones for those trickycontours.
Jones’ name appears onthe sign at the Pottwatomieentrance. From the blacktees, 3,007 yards of nine-holepublic golf unfurl beyond.

BEARS AT PANTHERS, 7 P.M. TODAY, FOX, AM-780, 105.9-FM
Bears ready tomake first impression
Generally, the only thingthat matters in a first pre-season game is how quicklywe get to the final whistleand the health of all involvedwhen it arrives. But thisBears team is different ina number of ways and it’spossible the preseason openerin Carolina will be, too.
Regardless of which play-ers they are coaching, it willbe Marc Trestman’s first timein the driver’s seat on an NFLsideline and I’m sure we’llform certain impressions thatwill stick with us for awhile.
Nothing is worth the ridic-ulous ticket prices NFL teamscharge for these exhibitions,but it will be well worthour time to observe how thenew sheriff in town runs theshow.
More than that what fas-cinates me about this Bearsteam is I can’t remember thelast time the Bears enteredpreseason Game 1 with somany starting positions upfor grabs? Both guard posi-tions, right tackle, the No. 3wide receiver spot, left defen-sive end, middle linebacker(because of D.J. Williams’injury) and the nickel backspot all appear to be open.
Perhaps you have EarlBennett and Williams pen-ciled in as the third wideoutand middle linebacker, butmy gut and my eyes tell methe powers-that-be don’t.
Clearly, the three offensiveline spots are being hotly con-tested, and while Corey Woot-
ton and Shea McClellan willshare time at left end, as wellas in a three-man rotationwith Peppers on both sides,one of the two will emerge asthe starter on the left.
The majority of thesebattles will take the entirepreseason to play out, but it ispossible the right tackle, No.3 wide receiver and nickelback jobs will be claimed inCarolina.
How many times havewe seen it early in trainingcamps when players makesurprise showings that stickwith us and gain momentumregardless of what’s going onaround them?
Right now, Eben Britton,Joe Anderson and Isaiah
Frey are clearly the flavors ofthe month in Bourbonnais.
I could be in the minori-ty on this, but I’m not evensure the third wideout spotis a competition right now.Earl Bennett is out with aconcussion and Andersonhas been gaining ground alloffseason. With BrandonMarshall rehabbing the hiphe had surgery on, Andersongot a ton of work in OTA’sand minicamp with the firstand second teams and playedconsistently well.
There are few veteranson this roster who can bereplaced by equal or bettertalents and provide signif-icant salary cap relief byleaving, but Bennett is one.
I’m not saying he’s gone, buta big game in Carolina forAnderson could be too muchfor Bennett to overcome.
Nobody saw Eben Brittoncoming. He was just a guythe Bears added to competesomewhere on the O-line and,in fact, they had him at guardduring the offseason. But heclearly was more comfortableat right tackle in Jackson-ville. When both JermonBushrod and backup Jona-than Scott went down in prac-tice, Britton was next man upand he performed well.
That earned him a chanceto compete with J’MarcusWebb on the right side whenBushrod came back, andWebb is clearly perceived as
the weak link on this line.In successive post-practicemedia sessions this week,Trestman gave a lukewarmreview of Webb and thensome excited observations ofBritton, indicating to me abig game for Britton in Caro-lina could be the beginning ofthe end for Webb.
The only cornerbacks onthe roster with NFL expe-rience other than startersCharles Tillman and TimJennings after Kelvin Haydenwent down are Zack Bowmanand Sherrick McManus.Bowman’s already been cutand re-signed once, and bothare valued most for specialteams. If Frey performs wellat the nickel in Carolina, thejob will be his. If he stumbles,you can expect to see somenew faces in Bourbonnaisnext week.

WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT
ANNIVERSARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Hyundai executives appar-ently think they have a goodthing going, and perhaps theydo.
The 2013 Azera is virtuallythe same as the redesigned 2012model. There may have been nochanges, but there was in price.The $32,000 2012 model is nowthe $32,250 2013 Azera.
The Azera is priced morethan the competition in thisfront-wheel-drive, five-passen-ger, four-door class of largesedans, but there is a reason forthis. The price includes more,such as eight airbags, heatedand cooled seats, leather andalloy trim, 18-inch alloy wheels,P245 performance tires, heatedrear seat, and even a chilledglove box. These factors andmore are included in the baseprice.
A $4,000 technology pack-age on a recently tested Azerajacked the price up to $36,250.The package included powerrear sunshade and manual rearside window sunshades, powertilt and telescoping steeringwheel, plus tilt and slidesunroof, memory for driver(exterior mirrors, steeringwheel, seat), ambient lighting,19-inch wheels for wider P245tires, xenon headlamps, venti-lated front seats, driver’s seatcushion extension, rear parkassist sensors and an upgradesound system.
If a buyer can do without thepackage, the asking price re-mains $32,250 and also includesa navigation system, rear back-up camera, power front seats,power exterior heated mirrors,power express windows in frontand door locks, keyless entryand pushbutton start.
The engine is a 3.3-liter,293-horsepower V6 mated to asix-speed shiftable automatictransmission. In the large sedanclass it excels and can race from0 to 60 miles per hour in lessthan 7 seconds. It has been test-ed in 6.7 seconds by members ofthe automotive media.
Even with the power, theAzera may not be the most
exciting drive around. In thatdepartment, the Chrysler 300and Buick LaCrosse come tomind.
But the Azera does what itis supposed to do well and that
is provide comfort and a solid,economical ride.
A 2013 Azera arrived for aweek of test driving and didjust that. During hot days, theair conditioning compressorworked fine and the fan dis-tributed cooled air to the fourcorners of the vehicle.
On one 180-mile stretch ofinterstate (I-39), the 3,605-poundsedan averaged 30.2 miles per
gallon, but in combined city,suburban and county road driv-ing, the average was 26.6 mpg.Economy is above average fora sedan of this size. From 60 to0 mph, the braking distance isabout 130 feet on dry pavement,which is, again, average for thissize of sedan.
Legroom is phenomenaland has grown to 45.5 inchesin front and 36.8 inches in the
rear. Trunk space of 16.3 cubicfeet puts it close to the top in thefull-size sedan class. It can turnon a dime, but officially it turnsa circle in 36.5 feet.
The suspension system ofwishbones with coil springsand gas shocks carried occu-pants quietly over road imper-fections during the test week.

Azura designed to resemble sedan fromBMW5-Series,Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Obvious niceties were anavigation system with atouchscreen display, a highdefinition sound systemincluding satellite radio,a hands-free (Bluetooth)phone system, iPod and USBports, auxiliary input jacks,side-mirror-mounted turnsignal indicators, remotekeyless entry, push button orsmart start, leather seat andcabin trim.
Niceties discovered afterseveral days in the car wererear backup camera (helpsprevent running over childrenor objects behind the vehiclewhile backing up), automaticheadlights (dusk arrived), tripcomputer (necessary to get,eventually, an accurate fueleconomy figure), self-dimmingrearview mirror (nighttimedriving), a compass in thatmirror, tilt and telescopingsteering wheel, and rearseat (heated but not cooled)climate control vents.
Design features that werenoticed after a first walk-around of the vehicle werethe P245 tires mounted onoptional 19-inch alloy wheels(18 inchers standard), chrometips for the dual exhausts atthe rear, monochrome bodymoldings and door handles,raised beltline, fender creases,fog lights in front and a shortrear deck.
Power features includedfront seats, express windows,heated exterior mirrors anddoor locks. Hyundai is knownfor loading a car (coupe, wag-on or sedan) with goodies anddaring the competition to dothe same. It is true for each ofthe company’s entries in thevarious size categories (sub-compact, compact, midsize,full-size) which are dividedinto several class niches(economy, practical, entry ornear luxury and luxury). TheAzera qualifies as a near-lux-ury sedan. In the luxury class,Hyundai has the relativelynew Genesis coupe and sedan.
Introduced in 2001 as theXG300, Hyundai’s intent was
to load up a midsize, four-door, five-passenger sedanwith lots of goodies and under-sell the competition. In 2002the XG300 became the XG350(3.5-liter engine vs 3-litersix-cylinder). In 2006, Hyundairenamed the XG the Azera.
Besides traction andstability controls, safety fea-tures include eight airbags,dusk-sensing headlights,and a full-size spare tire.Additional niceties are cruisecontrol, air conditioning,dual lighted vanity mir-rors, remote keyless entry,tachometer, clock, compass,variable intermittent wipersand a rear defogger.
There are 12 volt outlets,floor mats, reading lights,grab handles, cup holders andarmrests front and rear. Thesplit rear seat allows accessto the trunk.
Other safety featuresinclude a four-wheel antilockbraking system, electronicbrakeforce distribution, fiveseatbelts and adjustable head-rests (whiplash protection infront), child seat anchors and
rear door child safety locks.The five-year or 60,000-
mile warranty includes 24-hour roadside assistance. Thepowertrain is under warrantyfor 10 years or 100,000 miles.
With its raised hood, frontfog lights, wraparound head-lights and short rear deck, theAzura is designed to resemblea sedan from the BMW 5-Se-ries and the Mercedes-Benz
E-Class. From a distance, anAzera might even be mistakenfor this classy competition.Like the Mercedes, Hyundaimounts the power front seatcontrols, which are in theshape of seat and headrest, onthe door panels.
Ask about $500 to $1,000rebates and the possibilityof 2.90 percent financing at adealership.

Dr.Wallace:My
parents and I are having
a disagreement, and I’m
the loser. I often get in-
vited to see movies with
my friends (we’re all 13),
but I’m usually not al-
lowed to go even though
they are rated PG-13.
There never is sexual
content or references
to drugs or alcohol, but
they can be described
as scary horror movies.
I know that seeing this
type of movie will not
influence my life in a
negative way.
I’m really unhappy
that I can’t see a movie
with my friends. Will
you please encourage my
parents to allow me to
see a scary PG-13 movie
with my friends? – Kris-tine, Hackensack, N.J.
Dear Kristine: I have to
side with your parents
on this matter, at least
to some extent. While
there may be nothing at
all wrong with a good
scary movie (which has
the same basic effect as
a roller coaster ride),
I would draw a sharp
distinction between
them and horror movies,
also known as “slasher
movies.”
Even if a slasher
movie avoids references
to sex, drugs or alcohol,
the whole point of such
films is the portrayal of
a shockingly grisly level
of violence. I’m far from
convinced that such
movies are innocent and
do not have a negative
influence on young
viewers.
Dr.Wallace: I’m
15 and will be 16 in
another three months.
I’m allowed to have a
boyfriend, and I can
have him visit me at
my house, but I’m not
allowed to go on a date
until I’m 16. That I can
accept.
Last week, I met a
boy from a different high
school. He was cute and
very nice, so I gave him
my telephone number. I
think he’s 17. I know he’s
going to call and ask me
out, but I’m embarrassed
to tell him that I’m too
young to date. What
should I do? – Nameless,Little Rock, Ark.
Dear Nameless:Be
honest. Simply say,
“I’m glad you called.
Why don’t you stop by
my house and see me?”
Then when he stops by,
and he will, invite him
in to meet your parents.
Then later you can tell
him that you can’t go on
dates for 90 more days,
but if he would like, he
can see you again at
your house. The rest is
up to him.
Dr. Wallace: I’m 17
and was dating a girl
for over six months. I
really liked her, and I
thought that she liked
me, too. Then two
weeks ago, she told
me she didn’t want to
see me anymore. This
really surprised me. I
didn’t see it coming. I
asked her why she was
dumping me, and she
said she didn’t want to
talk about it.
This bothers me a
lot because if I have
a fatal romantic flaw,
I would like to know
what it is so I can make
sure it doesn’t happen
again. Should I continue
harassing her until she
tells me why she dumped
me? I really need to
know. – Ted, St. Peters-burg, Fla.
Dear Ted:Do not con-
tact this girl again. She
dated you for more than
six months, so chances
are you don’t have a
fatal romantic flaw. It
could simply be that she
wanted a bit of freedom
and it had nothing to do
with you.

Dear Abby:My father-in-lawdied two weeks ago. The serviceswere beautiful. Many people sentflowers, but one arrangement – abouquet of white flowers – arrivedanonymously. I didn’t think muchabout it, just that someone wantedto express sympathy. Now mymother-in-law has become franticwith concern about the flowers.She sobs over not knowing whosent them and – we think – sus-pects they came from an old ornot-so-old flame.
My in-laws were married formore than 50 years, and it is heart-breaking to see her compound hergrief with these thoughts. We havesuggested various reasons thatsomeone might have sent the flow-ers anonymously, but she refusesto accept them.
Is sending flowers this way un-usual? Or are there good reasonsto do it? For the record, is it evengood manners to send flowers toa funeral anonymously? Or is mymother-in-law’s reaction normal?– Grieving In Georgetown, Texas
Dear Grieving:Your mother-in-law is grieving. She is fragile right
now, and possibly not thinkingstraight. A card may have beensent with the bouquet that wassomehow lost in transit.
That she was married to herhusband for 50 years and now sus-pects he was unfaithful because ofa bouquet of flowers at the man’sfuneral is a sad reflection on theirmarriage.
Dear Abby: I am in my early 30sand have been married for fiveyears. My husband and I decidedto have a baby, and five monthsago I found out I was pregnant.
When I told my mom thegreat news, she wasn’t happyto hear it. She doesn’t care. Allshe cares about is how “fat” I’mgoing to get.
My mother never wants to talkabout anything baby-related. If Icomplain about an ache or pain,she quickly says, “It’s becauseyou’re fat!” The last time I went to
the OB/GYN for a checkup, Momdidn’t even ask if everything wasOK. All she said was, “How muchweight have you gained?”
It hurts me so much that shetreats me and her future grand-child this way. Please help me. Idon’t know what to do anymore. –Almost In Tears In Ohio
Dear Almost In Tears:Stop de-pending so much on your moth-er’s approval and you’ll have ahappier pregnancy.
The person you should talk toabout your weight is your OB/GYN. If your weight is such thatit might affect your health or yourbaby’s, you need to know it ASAP.Your doctor can refer you to anutritionist if you need guidanceabout your diet.
Your relationship with yourmother doesn’t appear to be par-ticularly positive.
As you grow closer to moth-erhood, talk more with yourgirlfriends, talk more to yourhusband and less to your mother.

Dear Doctor K: I have osteo-arthritis. Can you tell me whatis happening in my joints thatcauses my painful symptoms?
Dear Reader:The short answeris that osteoarthritis causes dete-rioration of cartilage in the joints.But I suspect you’d like a moredetailed response.
There are many differentkinds of arthritis, but osteoar-thritis is the most common. Itcauses pain, swelling and stiff-ness in the joints that worsensover time. The condition mostoften affects joints found in theshoulders, wrists, fingers, hipsand knees. These joints aredesigned for a variety of move-ments that make possible allmanner of activity, from playingtennis to playing the piano.
Joints, like machines withmoving parts, are vulnerable tofriction. If a machine’s movingparts come in contact with oneanother, friction will scratch thesurfaces and cause pitting, dis-tortion and eventually breakage.Two strategies can prevent suchfriction: applying a lubricant, orinserting a cushion. Human jointsare protected in both ways.
The joints affected by osteo-arthritis are lined with a mem-brane, called synovium, thatproduces synovial fluid. Synovial
fluid lubricates the joint, guard-ing against friction and allowingmovement.
In addition, the ends of thebones in these joints are coveredby a protective layer of carti-lage. The tough, elastic cartilagecushions the bones. Cartilage canmold to its surroundings, so theopposing surfaces of a joint areperfectly matched.
As cartilage becomes less resil-ient, microscopic pits and fissuresappear on its surface. Tiny piecesof cartilage may flake off into thearea surrounding the joint, andthe damaged cartilage can set offa chain of events that results injoint inflammation.
As cartilage degenerates,patches of exposed bone appear.Over time, the space betweenbones narrows. The surfaces ofthe bones change shape, leadingto friction and joint damage.
The bones try to repairthemselves, but the renovationattempts are uneven. As a result,bony overgrowths form along themargins of the damaged joints.These little pieces of overgrown
bone can get chipped off of thebone. Then they become likegravel in the joint, making it hurtworse. (I’ve put an illustration ofthe process on my website, Ask-DoctorK.com.)
The combination of damagedcartilage, bone rubbing on boneand inflammation all contributeto your symptoms of osteoarthri-tis.
So, that’s what osteoarthritisis. But you asked what causes it.Medical research has providedsome answers. We know that partof it is genetic; It runs in families.It ran in my family. We are bornwith a vulnerability for our jointcartilage to become damaged ifwe injure the joint. If there is noinjury, we escape getting osteoar-thritis.
But when a joint is injuredby some trauma, such as a jobrequiring lots of heavy lifting or(as in my case) a sports injury,the cartilage starts to digest itself.How do our genes trigger this pro-cess? Once we understand that,treatments to prevent the diseasecould follow.

If you do not know,partner may tell you
BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
Patti Stanger, who tries tofind romance for millionaires,said, “If you’re going to get en-gaged, make sure you’ve talkedto your partner about life togeth-er in the years to come.”
If you’re forming a newbridge partnership, make sureyou discuss as much as possible,especially leads and signals.
When an expert defends witha less experienced player, he canusually signal to tell his partnerwhat to do. Of course, this as-sumes that the less experiencedplayer is watching and interpret-ing correctly.
However, there will be dealsin which the expert will not besure which way to turn. Today’sis an example. South is in threehearts. West leads the spadeseven. South wins on the boardand calls for a low trump. Whatshould happen after that?
South bravely found athree-heart weak jump overcall.West wanted to make a nega-tive double, but was not strongenough. And East felt too weak tobalance with three spades. Notethat double-dummy (everyoneknows all of the cards), to defeatfour spades, South must obtain aclub ruff.
To beat three hearts here, thedefenders must take one heart,two diamonds, one club and adiamond ruff. So, East must takethe second trick with his heartace. Then West should drop thenine, a suit-preference signalshowing strong diamonds. Next,East will shift to the diamondnine. West will take two tricksin the suit and give his partnera ruff. Finally, East will cash theclub ace for down one.
If you and your partner watchthe cards closely, use low trumpsto send suit-preference signals.
