GENEVA – A priest andfive members of St. CharlesEpiscopal Church plan toprovide the imposition ofashes to commuters at theGeneva Metra station onAsh Wednesday – Feb. 18 –the first day of Lent in theChristian calendar.
The Rev. Bill Nesbit saidthis is the fifth year thechurch will provide “Ashesto Go” to commuters duringthe morning rush.
Ashes will be providedfrom 6:20 to 7:50 a.m. at theGeneva Metra station, 328Crescent Place, Geneva.Nesbit said his church gotthe idea from three Epis-copal churches in Chicagothat started “Ashes to Go”in 2010.
Lent is considered a pe-riod of penitence and reflec-tion, and a time to preparefor Easter, Nesbit said.
He said ashes and aprayer are given to anyonewho wants them.
“There are no restric-tions,” Nesbit said. “We getall sorts – Catholics, Episco-palians, Lutherans, Method-ists. Some people say, ‘What
is this?’ and we explain alittle bit and they’ll say: ‘Allright. Let me try.’ ”
Some commuters havecome by in cars, rolled downthe window, and asked,“Can I get some ashes?” Butthat’s OK, Nesbit said, as itallows different ways to par-ticipate.
He noted an “Ashes toGo” sign will let commutersknow that they are set up.
Participants will receivethe ashes made in the signof the cross on the forehead,Nesbit said, along with abrief prayer and the words:“Remember that you aredust and to dust you shall
return.”Nesbit said Ash Wednes-
day is an important day toremember mortality.
“It’s important that weremember [our mortality]because it gives urgencyto our mission to reconcileourselves to God and to eachother,” Nesbit said.
T h e a s h e s t h a t w i l lbe used were made fromburned fronds from the pre-vious year’s Palm Sunday,he said.
“Ashes are a powerfulsymbol of our limited na-ture, a symbol that all thatwe do comes to ash in theend – yet God continues,”Nesbit said. “But they arealso an ancient symbol ofpenitence. ‘Forgive me forwhat I have done.’ ... It’s rec-ognition that we have fallenshort of the dream that Godhas for us – and that it’s nottoo late.”
Nesbit and church mem-bers who are participatingalso might have to deal withsub-zero temperatures thatare predicted for Wednes-day.
“Well, the low is minus7 and the high is 7,” Nesbitsaid. “Hand-warmers – Ihave a case of them.”

GENEVA – A Geneva wom-an charged in a foiled Val-entine’s Day shooting plot isexpected to appear in a Cana-dian courtroom this morning.
Lindsay Kantha Souvan-narath, 23, and Randall Ste-ven Shepherd, 20, of Hali-fax, Nova Scotia, each face acharge of conspiracy to com-mit murder, according to anews release issued Saturdayby Canadian police.
They are expected in Hal-ifax Provincial Court today.
Investigators with theGeneva Police Department,which on Fri-day executeda search war-rant locallyfor Canadianauthorities,w e r e p l a n -ning to reachout to thosea u t h o r i t i e stoday to seewhether theyneed furtherassistance, Geneva PoliceCmdr. Julie Nash said Mon-day.
Although Souvannarath isfrom Geneva, Geneva policehave said there is no threathere.
“It does seem to be an inci-dent isolated to Canada,” Ge-neva Police Cmdr. Eric Pas-sarelli said Saturday. “[Thereis] no threat to this area atall.”
Michael Sunderman, whowas in Geneva High School’sClass of 2010 with Souvan-narath, described his formerclassmate as a lonely personwho would talk about Nazisand Adolf Hitler but wouldbecome uncomfortable andchange topics when confront-ed about her beliefs.
“She had a macabre anddark sense of humor to her,but at the time it never seemedviolent,” Sunderman said.
Sunderman said Souvan-narath came to mind even be-fore authorities released theidentifies of those connectedto the foiled shooting at a Ca-nadian shopping center.
“Of anyone I know, itsounds like her,” he said, not-ing his contact with her waslimited to social media afterhigh school. “[I am] so thank-ful the authorities caughther.”
There were no updatesabout the case Monday, saidSgt. Alain LeBlanc, the Roy-al Canadian Mounted Policeprovincial media relationsofficer.
Police in Canada release“very little” information tothe media during ongoing in-vestigations as to not jeopar-dize the case, he said.
In Saturday’s news re-lease, Canadian authoritiesreported a third individual,a 17-year-old male from ColeHarbour, had been releasedwithout charge. Police de-scribed him as a person ofinterest but reported therewas no evidence to link himto charges.
A fourth person, a 19-year-old man, was found dead at aTimberlea residence, whereauthorities seized threelong-barrel rifles, Canadianpolice said at a news confer-ence Saturday.
When asked whether thatman committed suicide, LeB-lanc said in an email that “hewas found deceased inside thehome.”
Timberlea is a communitywithin the province of NovaScotia.
Canadian authorities de-scribed the individuals asfriends who decided to planand commit a “heinous”crime for reasons not imme-diately known. Police werenot defining them as a terror-ist group because their plansdidn’t have ethnic or politicalconsiderations, they said.
A Crime Stoppers tip that
originated in Canada suggest-ed the 19-year-old and Souvan-narath had access to firearms,and they intended to go to apublic venue Saturday withthe goal of opening fire to killcitizens before killing them-selves, police reported.
Evidence reportedly showsShepherd also was involved.
“This is an excellent ex-ample that demonstrates thevalue of the Crime Stoppersprogram,” Nova Scotia Roy-al Canadian Mounted PoliceCommanding Officer BrianBrennan said in a statement.
“The information came tous in a timely manner andallowed us to act quickly. Weoften ask citizens to be oureyes and ears in their com-munities, and it was throughone tip that we were able tointercept and eliminate a sig-nificant threat, and ultimate-ly save lives.”
Canadian police said at thenews conference that HalifaxShopping Centre was the tar-get. They declined to providespecifics about the firearms.
At the request of the Hal-ifax Regional Police, Geneva
police executed a search war-rant at Souvannarath’s resi-dence Friday evening, Pas-sarelli said.
Passarelli said items weretaken from the Geneva home,but – at the request of the Ca-nadian authorities – he wouldnot specify what was seized.It is an ongoing investigation,he added.
Nash confirmed Mondaythat the residence was in the3300 block of Husking PegLane in Geneva.
Passarelli said Souvan-narath and her family, whohave been “extremely cooper-ative,” were unknown to localpolice.
“We’ve had no contact withher, whatsoever,” Passarellisaid.
According to Geneva HighSchool yearbooks, Souvan-narath was involved in thefall play, “The Rimers of El-dritch,” her junior year, andin the RPG Club throughouthigh school. RPG stands forroll-playing game.
Souvannarath continuedher education at Coe Collegein Iowa. Rod Pritchard, direc-
tor of marketing and publicrelations, wrote in an emailthat she enrolled in the 2010fall term and graduated in2014 with a Bachelor of Artsdegree. She double majored inEnglish and creative writing,he wrote.
According to public re-cords, Souvannarath’s familybought the house on HuskingPeg Lane in the Fisher Farmsneighborhood in August 2006.
A member of the Schooleyfamily in Geneva on Sundayconfirmed that he was a neigh-bor of the Souvannaraths andthat members of his familywere interviewed by othermedia outlets on Saturday.He declined to give his firstname but said news of the plotin Canada was surprising andshocking.
The Schooleys said theywould see Souvannarath atneighborhood events, and sheseemed like a normal teenagegirl that went through differ-ent phases and interests.
Canadian authorities saidit is too early to know wheth-er Souvannarath will be ex-tradited to the United States.They said she was enteringCanada upon her arrest.
“RCMP and HRP have laidcharges in this incident andhave eliminated the threat,”Chief Jean-Michel Blais ofHalifax Regional Police saidin a statement. “This is a re-minder that this type of inci-dent can happen anywhere.”

Gluten is a protein foundin wheat, barley and rye thatthose with celiac diseasecannot digest.
“Gluten-free – it was apretty large demand fromour customers,” Keivel said.“We use potato flour, brown
rice flours, millet, tapioca.It’s missing the gluten pro-tein. … It tastes so good youwould never know it’s glu-ten-free.”
The bakery, which hasbeen in business for twoyears as of December, alsooffers egg-free and dairy-freedesserts. Those recipes usevegan shortening and apple-sauce.
“Our concept is unique,as we are also a co-op bak-ery where independent busi-nesses are allowed to rentout the commercial kitchenand have started their ownbusiness right out of my bak-ery,” Keivel said.
Blackberry Baking Com-pany is the main companydoing the baking for SweetNatalie’s, she said, with a
few others who also makepies, bread and cookies.There also is one vegan bak-er.
“ E v e r y t h i n g i s m a d efrom scratch, and every-thing is gluten-free,” Keivelsaid. “The pie filling is fromscratch; the crusts are glu-ten-free. We use high-qual-ity products and pride our-selves on that.”

Changing Children’s Worlds Foundation to host spring fundraiser
The Kane County Sher-iff’s Office and the Fox ValleyPark District Police Depart-ment are inviting citizens tolearn about what they do.
For the first time, the agen-cies have partnered to providea joint citizens police acade-my, which will meet Wednes-day nights from March 11 toMay 13.
“It’s just a great way wecan let the community in tosee what we do and how we doit,” sheriff’s office Lt. Pat Gen-gler said.
“It’s definitely not like it ison TV.”
Participants will be intro-duced to topics, such as trafficlaws, crime prevention, iden-tity theft, scams and fraud,patrol, investigations, correc-tions and gang identification,according to a news release.
Gengler said sessions willbe at the park district’s PriscoCommunity Center, as well asthe sheriff’s office.
Previous sessions offeredby the sheriff’s office have in-cluded mock traffic stops, jailtours and ride-alongs, Genglersaid, noting organizers recog-nize classroom environments
can be tedious.The sheriff’s office start-
ed hosting its own academywhen its St. Charles Town-ship facility opened, Genglersaid. He expects the partner-ship with the Fox Valley ParkDistrict will help the programreach more people, he said.
Additionally, he said, itshould show the public howmuch the two agencies workwith each other.

nator Vanessa Aguirre at 630-762-2755, Gengler said.
Applicants must pass abackground check and be atleast 18, Gengler said.
Attendance is encouragedeach week but not required,he said.
Those who have attend-ed similar programs hostedby other agencies will likelylearn something since eachagency might cover differenttopics, Gengler said.
For example, he said, par-ticipants in Aurora would geta tour of the lockup while thesheriff’s participants wouldsee the jail.

BATAVIA – State Rep. SteveAndersson, R-Geneva, and stateRep. Keith Wheeler, R-Oswego,started grabbing boxes of cerealand cans of tuna, putting themin their grocery carts as fast asthey could.
Andersson and Wheelerwere involved in a friendlycompetition as they participat-ed Monday in the Kane Coun-ty Farm Bureau’s 14th annualFood Check-Out ChallengeShopping Spree. This is the 14thyear that the Batavia Jewel-Os-co store has participated in theevent.
Andersson was shoppingfor the Batavia InterfaithFood Pantry, and Wheeler wasshopping for the Elburn FoodPantry. They were given fiveminutes to collect as much non-perishable food as they could.
As time elapsed, they weregiven another minute to collectmore groceries. All the food
was bought by the Kane Coun-ty Farm Bureau and donated tothe two food pantries.
“That was more of a workoutthan I expected,” Anderssonsaid afterward.
Wheeler ended up inchingout Andersson in the challengeby collecting $1,249.53 worth offood for the Elburn Food Pan-try, compared to Andersson’stotal of $1,127.64.
“It’s great to be able to helpour neighbors out,” Wheelersaid.
The Kane County Farm Bu-reau’s shopping sprees have re-sulted in more than $30,000 ingroceries being donated to localfood pantries since 2001, accord-ing to farm bureau officials.
The American Farm BureauFederation had started FoodCheck-Out Days in Februarybecause that is the time bywhich the average Americanhas earned enough disposableincome to pay for his or herfood supply for the entire year,farm bureau officials said, not-ing the days are no longer for-mally recognized.
The shopping spree comple-ments the Kane County Farm
Bureau’s “Harvest for ALL”program to benefit local foodpantries.
In 2014, the hunger-relief ef-forts undertaken by membersof the Kane County Farm Bu-reau earned the associationthe Service Club PhilanthropicAward from the West SuburbanPhilanthropic Network, as wellas a County Activity of Excel-lence award from the AmericanFarm Bureau Federation.

GETTING THE REAL TRUTH
To the Editor:As a 32-year resident of what is now Campton Hills, I am very
pleased with its development since incorporating in 2007. I donot personally know Patsy Smith, but I attended many meetingsprior to its incorporation. I was skeptical that the promises shemade before incorporation could be kept, in particular, the your-property-taxes-will-not-increase promise. After all, how manytimes have we heard that from politicians and been disappointed?Well, here we are, some eight years later, and we have a police
department, a new Village Hall and other government services.And, lo and behold, Patsy Smith has kept her promise to do allthose things and not levy new property taxes. Kudos to her, I say,and the other village trustees who have sided with her in thiseffort.Is the root of the disharmony between Patsy Smith and some
of the village trustees because she wants to continue to hold theline on taxes while others want to raise taxes? I wish we couldget the real truth behind the squabbles.

BLOOMBERG NEWS
Obamacare’s goal toexpand access to health carehas been only half a suc-cess: More Americans haveinsurance, but a rise in costsharing means fewer can useit. Copayments – those prede-termined charges you pay atthe doctor’s office – are a bigpart of the problem. In recentyears, they’ve risen to thepoint where they no longerwork as they’re meant to.
In theory, charging moder-ate fees to see a doctor or geta procedure gives people anincentive to consider wheth-er they really need it. Donecarefully, copays can thusreduce unnecessary spend-ing, benefiting everyone.
That means the chargeshave to be just large enough
to influence people’s deci-sions, and not so big as tokeep people from getting thecare they need. Yet copayshave been going up signifi-cantly. In the past five years,the average price to see aprimary care doctor has risen20 percent. For a specialistit’s gone up 29 percent, andfor outpatient surgery it’sup 43 percent. And that’sjust for employer-sponsoredinsurance; on average, thosecovered through the Afford-able Care Act’s exchangesface even higher expenses.
No wonder 22 percent ofpeople now say the cost ofgetting care has led them todelay treatment for a seriouscondition. That’s the highestpercentage since Gallup start-ed asking in 2001.
The wisdom of copayments
also relies on the notion thatconsumers understand theincentives the payments aresupposed to impose. Yet al-most two-thirds of Americansdon’t know what costs theyface for using an emergencyroom or a walk-in clinic, arecent survey found.
When copayments growtoo big and confusing to beeffective cost controls, theymerely shift an ever-greatershare of insurance costs awayfrom premiums. And this un-dermines the basic purpose ofinsurance.
Obamacare has begun tosolve the problem by banningcopayments on preventivecare, such as immunizations,annual wellness visits andscreenings for various dis-eases. The law also imposesa cap on annual out-of-pocket
payments (that includesboth copays and deductibles,which are also rising anddiscouraging people from get-ting needed care), though at alevel so high – $6,600 this yearfor an individual, $13,200 for afamily plan – that few peoplebenefit from it.
And the law subsidizes co-payments and deductibles forpeople earning between 100percent and 250 percent of thepoverty line. For people whoget their health insurancethrough work, however, nosuch protections exist.
There’s precedent forgoing further still: Canadahas disposed of almost allout-of-pocket costs for doctorand hospital services since1984 – and still spends half asmuch per person on healthcare as the U.S. does. While
Canadians are more likelyto see a doctor in any givenyear, they’re less likely thanAmericans to wind up in thehospital.
Rather than ban copay-ments entirely, however,the U.S. could make betteruse of their ability to steerpeople away from high-cost,low-value care – emergencyrooms for routine treatments,for example, or brand-namedrugs when generics areavailable. Imposing higherupfront costs for these makessense, so long as servicesthat provide better value areeasier to afford.
The government shouldalso look at extending copaysubsidies to lower-incomebeneficiaries on employerplans and lowering the cap onout-of-pocket costs.
Rising copays are barriers to care, not spur to efficiency

SYCAMORE – Every timethe St. Edward girls basket-ball team made a push to takecontrol, Kaneland’s Ally Van-Bogaert had an answer.
The senior forward hit sev-eral clutch shots in the sec-ond half to give the No. 4 seedKnights a 39-37 win over theNo. 5 seed Green Wave in thefirst round of the IHSA Class3A Sycamore Regional onMonday night.
VanBogaert, who had 11of her team-high 13 points inthe final two quarters, caughta pass behind the 3-point lineon the break with the Knightsleading, 36-35, with 1:18 left.
Instead of pulling theball out and settling for freethrows, VanBogaert made the3 on the left side to give Kane-land a much-needed two-pos-session lead.
“I was confident I couldmake it,” VanBogaert said. “Iwas hot so I figured go for it.”
“Early in the season, thatwould have been a ‘No, no,no, yes,’ moment,” Kanelandcoach Ernie Colombe said.“But right now, she’s a se-nior and she’s been shootingthe ball extremely well downthe stretch. For us, that was agood shot at the moment.”
Whenever Kaneland –which led 22-10 at halftimeand had a 14-point advantageearly in the second quarter –needed a key basket againstthe Green Wave, VanBogaertcame up with one.
After St. Edward trimmedthe Knights’ lead to 25-23 latein the third, she scored fivestraight points – a mid-rangejumper on the left sidelineand a 3-pointer from the rightcorner.
When the Green Wave latercut that lead to 30-27 midwaythrough the fourth, VanBo-gaert came up with another 3.
K a n e l a n d s o p h o m o r eguard Morgan Weber alsoscored in double figuresfor the Knights, notching 11points to go with solid defense
on St. Edward senior shooterRyann Scully, who finishedwith three points.
The Green Wave (17-10)were led by 6-foot-3 seniorpost Cece Rapp, who finishedwith 13 points, 14 reboundsand five blocks, and sopho-more guard Katie Castoro,who scored all 10 of her pointsin the second half.
“I think defensively we did
a good job,” Colombe said.“Their post is a big-time play-er and to hold a team like St.Edward in the 30s this time ofyear, I thought that was one ofthe keys. We just want to keepgoing on.”
The Knights (18-9) madethings hard on themselvesin the final minute from thefree-throw line, missing threestraight front ends of one-
and-ones to give St. Edward achance to tie or take the lead.
“Right now, we have to fixwhat’s between our ears andnot pysche ourselves out atthe line,” Colombe said.
The Knights finished 8 for19 from the free-throw line,while the Green Wave went 13for 14.
However, Kaneland cameup with a late stop – on a stealby junior center Bailey Crim-mins – and the Green Wavenever got a shot off in their fi-nal possession after a missedfree throw by the Knights.
Now the Knights face theirmost daunting task of the sea-son, playing No. 1 seed andstate contender BurlingtonCentral (24-3) in the regionalsemifinal at 6 p.m. Wednes-day.
“They’ll be our biggestchallenge,” Kaneland juniorguard Camri Conley said.“But if we come out and playas a team, we’ll give them abattle.”
“We have nothing to lose,”Colombe said. “Everybody ispicking Burlington and that’sfine. We can play loose andplay as a team. We’ll take ourchances.”

17BOYS BASKETBALL: GENEVA AT ST. CHARLES NORTH, 7:15 P.M. TODAY
Geneva, North meeting could be decisiveBy JAY SCHWAB
After a shaky start to theseason, the St. Charles Northboys basketball team has argu-ably played as well as anyonein the area in 2015 – with one,notable exception.
North’s lone loss in 2015 wasa clunker, a 48-36 loss to hostGeneva when the teams metfor the first time last month.The Vikings and North Starswill reconvene tonight in St.Charles in a game that will goa long way toward crowning anUpstate Eight Conference Riv-er champion.
Geneva didn’t shoot wellin the January meeting but apainful, 4 of 31 shooting nightfrom 3-point land for Northbailed out the Vikings.
“We feel like we can’t shootany worse than we did that firsttime, and we defended verywell,” North coach Tom Poulinsaid. “So hopefully we can be aseffective defensively and shoota little bit better, and we’ll seewhat happens. They’re as goodas it gets in the area.”
North isn’t too shabby itself.The North Stars (16-7, 9-2 UECRiver) have won 14 of 17 games
and have dropped only the Ge-neva game since falling twiceDec. 31 at the Pontiac HolidayTournament (to Benet andWest Aurora).
The ice-cold shooting nightat Geneva is an outlier for ateam that is coming off consec-utive, impressive wins over theweekend against Larkin andHillcrest. North also notcheda statement win last monthagainst St. Charles East, whichwhipped North in two, ear-ly-season meetings.
“They have the ability toshoot the ball really well,” Ge-neva coach Phil Ralston said.“Their ability to outlet andpush the tempo for the game,that is something they do sowell is get out and go, similar-ly to East. They’re very similarteams. But what I find is thatNorth has just been playingso well together. They’re flu-id. Their guys seem to be onthe same page with each oth-er. That’s something the goodteams do.”
Ralston said his team’s abil-ity to contest shots with its su-perior size likely factored into North’s shooting travails inthe first meeting but the NorthStars also clanked several
clean looks.North senior Jack Cal-
laghan thinks his team will bemore prepared for the Vikingsas the scene shifts to North’shome floor.
“We’re ready for that 1-3-1zone they kind of got us withlast time,” Callaghan said.“We weren’t expecting that, sowe’ve been preparing for that.
We’re just excited. We’re hypedup for that game.”
While North has lost justonce since the calendar flipped,Geneva (23-2, 10-1 UEC River)has won 14 straight and is un-beaten in 2015.
The Vikings, though, havelittle margin for error, bothin the conference race and intheir pursuit of the top seed atnext month’s IHSA Class 4AGeneva Regional. Coaches’ vot-ing for regional seeding is dueWednesday, meaning tonight’sresult could factor in.
Poulin thinks a Genevawin tonight likely would naildown the top seed for the Vi-kings, whereas a North victorycould give East (19-3, 10-2 UECRiver) the nod. The Saints andVikings split their two confer-ence meetings.
Given how well his teamhas played lately and the NorthStars’ nonconference schedulestrength, Poulin said a Northwin tonight should at least in-ject North into the discussionfor the top seed.
“I’ll say it, I think we playthe toughest schedule in ourarea, period, if you just line upthe opponents,” Poulin said.“Not that others don’t play a
tough schedule. I think we allget challenged during the year.I think ours is stronger thananybody’s this year. So if wewere able to split with Geneva,I think I have a case possiblyto say we could look at a 1, butthat’s kind of a reach. I have togive it some thought.”
The top seed at a stackedGeneva Regional is not mere-ly an ego boost, consideringwhichever teams among Gene-va, East and North slot into the2 and 3 seeds almost certainlywill have to face each other in aregional semifinal.
Ralston said he’s only wor-rying about what he can con-trol – preparing the Vikingsto beat North – and thinks awell-informed seeding decisionwill be made by coaches at theregional, which also includesBatavia and DeKalb.
“It’s not like we have to goon word of mouth or readingnewspaper articles or lookingon MaxPreps or the Essig Re-port,” Ralston said. “It’s oneof those deals where we knoweach other probably too well,know the strengths and weak-nesses of the teams, so seedingwill just be determined basedon people’s opinions.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: MARMION 61, ST. FRANCIS 56
Marmion wins nails down SCC championshipBy DEREK WOLFF
AURORA – The Marmionboys basketball team won theSuburban Christian Confer-ence outright Monday night,doing it in thrilling fashionin a 61-56 victory against St.Francis.
The Cadets (15-11, 6-1 SCC)were bolstered by a numberof clutch late free throws,including four from juniorguard Josh Ruddy, who hittwo 3-pointers in the secondhalf.
“Coach said at the begin-ning of the game, we all hadto be ready no matter what,”Ruddy said. “Coming off thebench I was feeling it in war-mups and I felt the shot whenI had it. I was wide open onboth (3s) so I took them and I
made them.”Ruddy’s late free throws
boosted his total to 10 pointson the night, alongside a stealand a rebound.
The game wasn’t withoutcontroversy, as Spartans lead-ing scorer Gabriel Johnsonwas seemingly fouled shoot-ing a 3-pointer with the Cadetsup, 59-56, late in the fourth,but he didn’t get the call.
Instead, the Cadets grabbedthe rebound and Jon Youngput away the final free throwsof the night to preserve thewin.
The Cadets won a confer-ence title for the first time in40 years in the process, withlate free throws being the de-ciding factor.
“A game like that is goingto come down to free throws,”Cadets coach Joe Currie said.
“They’re a very good team.Bob (Ward) does a tremen-dous job with those guys andwe know that every time weplay them it’s going to be atough game like that. Our kidsjust kept battling. They madetheir runs. Hats off to my kids.They made the buckets whenwe needed to extend the leadand made free throws downthe end.”
The Spartans opened thegame on an 8-2 run, but werevictimized by several fouls ina row, allowing the Cadets totake a 13-10 lead by the end ofthe first quarter.
St. Francis outreboundedthe Cadets, 16-12, in the firsthalf and narrowed the gap to29-24 going into halftime aftertrailing by as much as sevenat one point.
J u n i o r f o r w a r d N i c k
Cooney had seven boards inthe first half while DanielMalek had six points, one re-bound and an assist.
The Spartans rallied aftera technical foul on HunterWeber allowed them to tie thescore at 38, but the Cadets end-ed the third quarter on a 5-0run after Josh Ruddy draineda 3 with seconds remainingfor the 43-38 lead.
Ruddy opened the fourthwith another 3 to put the Ca-dets back up by eight but theSpartans got five straightpoints from Jason Sullivan,who hadn’t hit a field goal inthe first half, to trail 46-45.
Marmion opened the leadback up to 56-50, but St. Fran-cis refused to go away.
The Spartans made it a 56-52 game and had a two-on-onefast break looking to draw
closer when Ruddy stole thepass and was sent to the chari-ty stripe, converting both freethrows for the six-point lead.
Glasgow led all scorerswith 21 points for the Cadetsand added five boards andfour assists.
The senior took the confer-ence championship in stride,knowing how much it’s takento earn it.
“It’s humbling, knowingthat it’s never happened be-fore and it’s my senior year,”Glasgow said. “All these guysI’ve been playing with for thefour years I’ve been here, wewere just able to pull it off,what no other team has beenable to do.”
Johnson finished with 15points to lead the Spartans,who fell to 14-10 and 4-4 in theSCC in the process.

IHSA CLASS 3A DOWNERS GROVE NORTH WRESTLING SECTIONAL
Batavia’s Uzumecki, six Cadets bound for stateBy DEREK WOLFF
DOWNERS GROVE – Busi-ness as usual was the sensefor Marmion after a dominantdisplay of wrestling Saturday.
Neither the opposition northe clock could slow the Ca-dets, who sent six wrestlerson to this weekend’s IHSAClass 3A state tournamentafter an impressive perfor-mance at the Downers GroveNorth Sectional, which in-cluded four individual sec-tional champions.
Batavia’s Dylan Uzumeckistormed back from a 6-0 lossto Hinsdale’s Joshua King inthe 220-pound semifinals toearn a stunning victory by fallin the wrestleback semifinals,cementing the Bulldogs’ lonestate berth.
Uzumecki then defeatedMarist’s Diata Drayton, 6-4, inthe third-place match.
Marmion sophomore An-thony Cheloni was the cham-pion at 138 pounds, defeatingWheaton-Warrenville South’s
Qarin Jonnic, 4-2.Cheloni took a 3-0 lead
in the second period after ascoreless first and looked con-fident in the third to earn thewin and his first trip to state.
“Mostly, I just kept myhead in it and didn’t get outof it,” Cheloni said. “I stayedready at all times and knewanything could happen.”
Cadets senior Mikey Calla-han rallied after an 8-2 semifi-nal loss to Lyons’ Johnny Mol-ogousis at 145 pounds to winhis wrestleback semifinal, 13-2, and earn his spot at state.
In the third-place match,Callahan jumped out to a 3-0lead in the first period and ex-tended it to a 7-2 victory overMetea Valley’s Kenan Carter.
“I’m feeling pretty good,”Callahan said. “I was prettydown after I lost that semifi-nals match, but I just had towrestle hard and get to state.”
Callahan will join Cheloniin the ranks of the first-tim-ers, while the Cadets also willsend AJ Jaffe (132), TraceCarello (160), Riley DeMoss
(170) and Nathan Traxler(182).
Marmion sent nine wres-tlers to state last season, andco-coach Ryan Cumbee wasimpressed with this group’sresolve to get there.
“We have a differentteam,” Cumbee said. “The sixthat we’re sending this year, Ifeel very confident with thoseguys. We had a great tourna-ment. Obviously as a coachyou want to bring everybodyand you’d like for everybodyto make it that far, but itdoesn’t happen. So with thesix guys we have going I’m ex-cited to see what they can do.”
Saturday’s sectional feltlike just another tournamentfor the Cadets because of theparticularly grueling regularseason schedule filled without-of-state foes, Cumbee said.
“You’re going to see theseguys go out there and wrestlelike any other tournament,”Cumbee said. “I don’t thinkyou’re going to see a lot offirst-time nerves or jitters oranything like that because
that’s why we have the sched-ule we do. We wrestle one ofthe toughest schedules in thecountry for this very reason.We go to the Ironman, we go tothe Clash, the Warhawk. Forus the state tournament is justanother tough tournament, itjust means a little more. Ourboys are ready. They’re bat-tle-tested, their confidence ishigh.”
Traxler agreed with hiscoach that the heavy scheduleenabled his team to succeedon the bigger stage.
“Definitely,” Traxler said.“I’ve been in multiple over-times and one-point matchesthis season, and that’s defi-nitely helped. Every time I getinto one of those I know I’mgoing to come out better justbecause I’ve done it beforeand can do it again.”
Carello won at 160 afterone of the longest bouts of theday. Carello took a 1-0 lead inthe second period of a boutwith Sandburg’s Tom Slatterybefore Slattery evened it up at1-1 in the third.
CAROL STREAM – RamonLopez stomached his thirdsuccessive sectional-endingdefeat Saturday with some-thing bordering on giddiness.
Unlike the past two sea-sons, when the St. CharlesEast senior lost wrestlebacksemifinal matches that wouldhave assured him passageinto the IHSA Class 3A statetournament, Lopez simply fellshort of the Glenbard NorthSectional’s 170-pound crown.
Sure, the result wasn’t op-timal, but because it didn’timpact Lopez’s strongholdon a long-elusive goal, hegrinned without remorse.
“One match away my soph-omore year, one match awaythis year,” Lopez said. “Thisyear, even coming off theinjury (a broken thumb suf-fered late in football season) Ihad a fire under me that wasa lot different. I didn’t want to
finish on a bad note.”Teammate Anthony Rubi-
no, a 126-pound junior, andSaints senior 152-pounderKeone Derain, Lopez’s friendand practice partner sinceelementary school, will joinhim at the University of Il-linois’ State Farm Center inChampaign. State preliminar-
ies begin Thursday and con-cludes with finals Saturday.
While Derain makes histhird straight state trip,the rest of the Chronicle-ar-ea field ranks as newbiesin comparison. St. CharlesNorth sophomore KolbeO’Brien (106) and Geneva se-nior Austin Chaon (195) are
state-bound, as well.Said Derain: “I’m really
excited. I have the feeling Icould do really well this year.I’ve been starting to turn upmy intensity, and it seems tobe working. I’m excited Ra-mon’s coming down this year,finally. We’ve got Rubino inthe mix, too.”
Rubino and O’Brien knowone another from offseasontraining and often cavortduring downtime of individu-al-based competitions such assectionals.
That description makesthem friends. Their ratio-nales, however, couldn’t havediffered more.
Rubino entered the finalsagainst Oak Park-River For-est’s Gabe Townsell know-ing he was assured of a stateberth, an especially gratify-ing proposition consideringhis close call as a sophomore.
Like Lopez (25-3), he lost awrestleback semifinal at theLeyden Sectional.

MAPLE PARK – If the St.Charles North boys basketballteam wanted a confidence-build-ing weekend leading up to to-day’s showdown with Geneva,this certainly qualifies.
One night after winning atLarkin, North topped qualitysouth suburban foe Hillcrest,66-64, Saturday as part of Kane-land’s Day and Knight of Bas-ketball Shootout.
“It’s definitely one of our bestwins,” North guard Jarod Kar-om said. “They’re a really goodteam. I thought we played reallywell.”
North’s bench factored heav-ily into that assessment, withKarom playing a leading role.
“Second night in a rowwhere we don’t skip a beat, orplay better at times,” Northcoach Tom Poulin said of hisreserves. “It just shows that thedepth has developed or they’vebeen ready and I haven’t giventhem enough time.”
North (16-7) trailed, 50-48, en-tering the fourth quarter. Kar-om’s 3-pointer put North up, 53-51, with 6:12 to play, and Karomwent 6 for 6 from the line in thequarter to further boost North’scause.
“Jarod’s a heck of a shooter,and he’s quick as a jitterbug,he’s all over the place,” Poulinsaid. “He did a very good jobjust of being composed andmaking the most of his minutes.He’s been a kid that’s hungryfor more and when he gets onthe court, he’s earning them, sowe’re real proud of him.”
Another reserve guard,David Pozna, turned in a cru-cial defensive play, drawing acharge call as North protected a57-52 lead.
Still, Hillcrest (16-6) createda suspenseful finish as guardMarcus Garrett made a pair of3-pointers in the final minute,the second of which drew theHawks within 66-64 with 16 sec-onds left.
North guard Jake Ludwig,who led all scorers with 20
points, then missed a pair offree throws with 13 seconds left,opening the door for Hillcrest.Hawks big man Taylor Adwaymissed a shot in the lane in theclosing seconds, and North wonfor the 14th time in its past 17games.
The bench contributionslate were especially crucial forNorth as senior forward JackCallaghan fouled out with 4minutes to play and saw limit-ed time throughout the game.Callaghan picked up his secondfoul, then drew a technical forhis third during a frustratingstretch of the second quarterwhen it appeared the Hawkswere pulling away, building a28-16 lead.
But despite being hammeredon the glass during the first half,North closed the second quar-ter well and crept within 34-28 atthe break.
Poulin, whose team can sharethe conference title if it wins itsfinal three Upstate Eight Confer-ence River games, starting withtoday’s showdown against Gene-
va, was encouraged by the wayNorth handled Hillcrest’s lengthand athleticism.
“We have multiple ball-han-dlers and smart kids, high bas-ketball IQ, that are unselfish,and that’s what you need,”Poulin said. “At halftime wetalked about better spacing,changing the alignment a littlebit and looking ahead. They re-ally don’t protect the rim.”
Junior guard Mikey Schro-eder scored 14 points for Northwhile Karom finished with 11.
In the shootout nightcap,Kaneland and Larkin – twoteams that were coming off di-sastrous starts in Friday losses,Larkin to North and Kanelandto DeKalb – again played aneventful first quarter, with theRoyals reversing their fortune.
Larkin roared to a 14-0 lead,setting the tone in a 68-51 victo-ry.
Kaneland coach Brian John-son thought his team mighthave been psyched out by theRoyals, who boast a pair of in-timidating interior presences in
Christian Negron (20 points, 14rebounds) and brawny seniorDaniel McFadden.
“We know Larkin’s a goodteam, and I don’t want to say[the players] are intimidated,but they start worrying aboutthose things,” Johnson said.“Larkin picked up the pressure.Once we realized, ‘Hey, we canplay, we made a little game of it,’but 25 turnovers and [allowing]19 offensive rebounds, I thinkthat’s 46 extra chances for themto score and us not to score.That’s not going to win you toomany games.”
Junior guard Dylan Vacabrought the Knights (11-12) backinto contention in the first half,when he scored 15 of his game-high 23 points. The Knightstrimmed the Royals’ lead to 28-24 at halftime.
“He’s playing really well,”Johnson said. “What I likeabout Dylan is his offense anddefense are kind of linked to-gether. When he’s doing welloffensively, his defense is reallygood.”

CHRONICLE

Furniture often has unexpected namesthat honor the maker or a connectionto a famous person. A Chippendale orSheraton chair is named for the design-er. Larkin desks are named for the com-pany that gave them away. The Wootendesk was named for the maker, Mr.Wooten. But the Recamier sofa is namedfor the woman who posed for a portraiton the lopsided bench. For many cen-turies there had been armless benchesand window seats -small benches witharms at each end that did not block theview from the window. By the 1800s,there were long chairs with the Frenchname “chaise longue,” made so your feetwere kept as high as the chair seat. Butby 1800, the seats included the “meridi-enne,” a bench with arms but no backmade for lounging, not sitting. MadameJuliette Recamier had her portrait paint-ed while stretched out on one of these.The portrait, by Jacques-Louis David,became so famous the Directoire pieceof furniture was called a Recamier by thepublic and the name stuck. The end ofthe story is strange.
When the portrait was almost fin-ished, she hired another artist to doanother portrait. David was so angry henever finished his picture. Part of thecanvas shows in the background-herhead was missing details and the artistdid not glaze the painting. It was givento the Louvre Museum in Paris in 1826and because it is unfinished, it has beena guide to the methods and brushworkused by the artist. Recamier sofas haveremained in fashion. A Regency-stylemid-19th century example was offeredat a New Orleans auction in the summerof 2014 with an estimate of $2,000 to$4,000. Like many of these pieces, it has
a cylindrical pillow tucked at the base ofthe scroll arm. But it also has a partiallycurved back.
***Q: I have a heavy metal sign that
reads “Railway Express Agency.” It’s adiamond shape, eight inches on eachside and eleven inches across the mid-dle. I’m wondering if this was a forerun-ner of UPS or FedEx companies. Does ithave any value?
A: In 1918, during World War I, theU.S. government took over the railroadsand combined several express carriersto form the American Railway ExpressCompany in order to insure safe deliveryof material during the war. The railroadswere returned to their owners in 1920,after the war ended. In 1929, the as-sets of The American Railway ExpressCompany were acquired by The RailwayExpress Agency, a company formed by86 U.S. railroads. In 1970 it became REAExpress, Inc. The company went bank-rupt in 1975. There is no connection be-tween the Railway Express Agency, UPSand FexEx. Railway Express signs weremade in several sizes and have been re-produced. A sign the size of yours soldfor $27 online.
***Q: My grandmother left me a cookie
jar shaped like a barn. It’s brown withsome details in yellow. The farmer’s wife
is standing in the door to the barn, handson hips, and the farmer is in the back-ground. It says “Dutch Treat” in yellowacross the front of the barn. There are nomarkings on it. Who made it and what isit worth?
A: This Dutch Treat cookie jar is saidto have been made by McCoy between1968 and 1973, even though there is nomark. It sells for about $50.
** *Q: I inherited a mid-nineteenth cen-
tury melodeon about 50 years ago. Thewoman who had it knew nothing aboutit. The cabinet is in pristine condition andthe instrument itself in perfect workingcondition. It’s marked “B. Shoninger,New Haven, Conn.” How old is it andwhat is it worth?
A: Bernard Shoninger founded B.
Shoninger & Company in 1850. Thecompany made melodeons, pianos andorgans. The melodeon was invented byJeramiah Carhart in 1835. He wanted tomake an instrument with a softer soundthan a reed organ. His sons took overthe business in 1898 and only pianoswere made after that. The company wentout of business in 1929 but Shoningerpianos continued to be made by NationalPiano Corporation of New York until the1960s. Melodeons are hard to sell be-cause few people play them. Prices arein the low hundreds of dollars.
***Q: I have a sugar container with or-
nate ear-like handles and no lid. I thinkit’s pewter. It’s marked with a circle andthe words “Meriden B. Company” sur-rounding a shield with a balance scaleinside it. It’s dated 1836. Can you giveme the history and value?
A: Your sugar container was made byMeriden Britannia Company of Meriden,Connecticut. It was founded in 1852 andbecame part of International Silver Co. in1898. The number on your sugar is notthe date, the company was not in busi-ness that early, it’s the catalog number.Your sugar is silver plate, not pewter,and was pictured in Meriden’s 1886-’87as part of a tete-a-tete set that includedcoffeepot, teapot, sugar and creamerwith catalog numbers 1836 and 1837. A
set of four pieces was originally $14.50.Value of your sugar today, about $25.
** *Q: I am giving my grandfather’s an-
tique brass barometer (circa 1930) tomy sister for her birthday. Should Ipolish it, or does that detract from thevalue?
A: Don’t polish it. If it needs to be pol-ished, you should have a professional re-storer do the job. Someone who repairsclocks might be able to polish it.
***Tip: The best place to store paintings
is in a closet with no exterior walls. Thetemperature and humidity levels will bethe best in your house.

Washington’s birthday, February 22. In the
1880s, many states declared February 12,
Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, as a holiday.
In 1971, Presidents Day was declared a national
holiday to honor all presidents. It was set for the
third Monday in February.

Dear Doctor K:What are urgentcare centers? Are they the sameas emergency rooms?
Dear Reader:They definitelyare not the same. Emergencyrooms are for true emergencies– even though many people go toemergency rooms for quite minorproblems. Typically, emergencyrooms are attached to hospi-tals, because patients with trueemergencies usually need to behospitalized after their treatmentin the emergency room.
In contrast, urgent carecenters are for medical problemsthat benefit from prompt atten-tion but are not life-threatening.Some hospitals staff urgent carecenters as well as emergencyrooms. However, many urgentcare centers are stand-aloneunits, located in storefronts ordrugstores. Urgent care centersare for common illnesses, suchas colds, the flu, earaches, sorethroats, migraines, low-gradefevers and rashes. They’re alsofor minor injuries, such assprains, back pain, minor cutsand burns.
How do you decide where to gofor an urgent medical problem? Ifyou have a primary care doctor,the first thing to do is contact himor her – unless you’re convincedit’s a life-threatening emergency.If you don’t have a primary caredoctor, then you’ve got a decisionto make.
Suppose a loved one burned
his hand, is clutching his chest orhas a high fever. When decidingbetween an emergency room andan urgent care center, considerthis general rule: If a person coulddie or be permanently disabled,go to an emergency room. If theproblem does not seem life-threat-ening and does not risk disability,go to an urgent care clinic.
How do you know if yoursymptom (or that of a familymember) could cause a person to“die or be permanently disabled”?The following situations requireemergency treatment in adults:
• Severe chest pain or pressure;• Pain in the chest that travels
to the arm or jaw, even if notsevere;
• Unusually bad headache,especially if it started suddenly;
• Suddenly not being able tospeak, see, walk or move;
• Sudden weakness or droopingon one side of the body;
• Choking;• Head injury followed by pass-
ing out, fainting or confusion;• Injury to neck or spine,
especially with loss of feeling ordifficulty moving;
fumes;• Sudden confusion;• Heavy bleeding;• Possible broken bone, loss of
movement;• Deep wound;• Coughing or throwing up
blood;• New, severe pain anywhere
in the body;• Severe allergic reaction with
trouble breathing, swelling, hives;• High fever with headache and
stiff neck;• High fever that doesn’t get
better with medicine;• Throwing up, or having loose
stools, repeatedly;• Poisoning or overdose of drug
or alcohol;• Suicidal thoughts.When you go to an emergency
room for minor problems, it’slikely you’ll wait many hoursto be seen, and your insurancemay not cover a chunk of thevery large bill. Granted, you can’talways know in advance what atrue emergency is. But I hope thesituations I described above willhelp you decide.

Dear Abby:Do you know whypeople nowadays feel the need toannounce their pregnancies viaultrasound pictures? I’m sorry,but I really don’t want to see allthat. I guess some folks think theimage of a blurry, black-and-whitefetus is “darling.” But to me, allI see is an up-close-and-personalsnapshot of a stranger’s uterus.Even if we’re best friends, I don’tneed all that detail. TMI, right?
I really wish people would de-liver this kind of news face-to-face.– Not Ready For A Close-Up
Dear Not Ready: If seeing asonogram is “TMI” for your sensi-bilities, all you need to do is scrollpast it. It’s not as if you’re beingforced to view the fetus. Being ableto see the product they’re manu-facturing pre-delivery helps many
couples to bond with their babies,and when people are happy, theyoften want to share their joy. So,loosen up and let them.
Dear Abby: I have been marriedto my husband for 10 years. Priorto that, we dated for seven. (Wemet when we were teenagers.) Myproblem is, my mother-in-law stillmisspells my name, which is Sara.After all these years, she still addsan “h” to the end of my name,regardless of how many timesmy husband has pointed out thecorrect spelling.
I don’t know why this is an is-
sue, because we send her cards onall the holidays, her birthday, etc.,with my name spelled correctly.How should I approach this withher? – Simply Sara In Arizona
Dear Simply Sara: If the two ofyou get along well, just smile andask her why she can’t get the spell-ing of your name right. However,if there is tension in your relation-ship, recognize that this may bea form of passive aggression, thatconfronting her will make herdefensive, and she will find someother way to needle you.
P.S. Another thought. Tellher you’ve changed the spellingof your name to “Sarah” and shemay drop the “h”!

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder
CELEBRITY CIPHER
PUZZLES
Andre Maurois, a French au-thor born Emile Salomon WilhelmHerzog in 1885, said, “In literature,as in love, we are astonished at thechoice made by other people.”
Sometimes we are surprised atthe choice made at the bridge tableby ourselves and others. In today’sdeal, the winning choice would beoverlooked by players unaccus-tomed to searching for alternativesto the obvious.
Against four spades, West leadshis diamond two – “My strongerminor, partner.” East wins withhis ace and returns the suit. Whatshould South do after ruffing?
It is reasonable for South toopen four spades in the third (orfourth) position. Opposite a passedpartner, a slam is unlikely, andthe bid rates to keep the oppo-nents quiet. (One point for seriouspartnerships: If you open four of amajor with such a strong hand andthe opponents enter the auction,you must double to tell partnerabout your unexpectedly highpoint-count.)
South has four potential losers:two hearts, one diamond and oneclub. He has only nine sure win-ners: seven spades, one heart andone club.
At first glance, declarer couldplay for two heart tricks or take theclub finesse. He could draw trumpsand play a heart to the queen. Buthere if East plays low, the contractcan no longer be made.
Did you see the sure route to10 tricks? After pulling trumps,South should cash his club ace andcontinue with the club queen. Westtakes the trick, but when declarergets into the dummy with a heart,he can cash the club jack. His 10winners are seven spades, oneheart and two clubs.
There are choices;can you find them?
