B A T A V I A – B e n j a m i nFranklin on Sunday had awarning for those who want toexperiment with electricity.

“Do not try this at home onyour own,” he told a crowd ofabout 130 people at the BataviaPublic Library. “Some peoplehave and got electrocuted.”

Chicago actor RJ Lindseybrought Franklin to life in theprogram “The Amazing Dr.Franklin,” part of the library’sSundays on Stage series. Frank-lin’s famous kite experiment,where he attached a key to akite during a thunderstorm in1752, proved that lightning waselectrical in nature.

He also is known for numer-ous inventions, including bifo-cals.

“You are very welcome forthe bifocals,” Lindsey said. “Iwas tired of taking off and put-ting on glasses.”

Along with presenting theprogram in character, Lindseyalso answered questions fromthe audience as if he was Frank-lin. Brent Beacham of Bataviaasked Franklin if he was a deist.

“Yes, a deist,” Lindsey said.“Deists believe there was aGod that started everythingand then he took a vacation.He is not going to answer your

prayers.”Beacham said he stumbled

upon the program after bring-ing a couple of friends to see thelibrary.

“I really enjoyed it,” Bea-cham said. “He brought life tothe character. He was very en-tertaining.”

Franklin is one of the signersof the Declaration of Indepen-dence, and Americans on theFourth of July will celebratethe adoption of that document.Franklin later signed the U.S.Constitution in 1787.

In character, Lindsey gavehis thoughts about the founding

of the U.S.“It is only as good as the peo-

ple who are a part of it,” he said.“The people will determinewhether or not it fails.”

This is the third year of thelibrary’s Sundays on Stage pro-gram.

“We’ve received good at-tendance for most of our otherprograms,” Batavia referencelibrarian Lee Blakley said. “Ithas proved very popular.”

The next program on July27 is “Tribute to Marilyn Mon-roe,” followed by the Fabulous50s on Aug. 24. All programs be-gin at 2 p.m.

ST. CHARLES – The kidsnavigating S.S. Pillbug – acardboard boat specificallydesigned to cross SwansonPool in St. Charles – were op-timistic Saturday as they pre-pared to compete against oth-er kids in the Sink or SwimCardboard Boat Race.

They wanted to know howmany laps they needed tocomplete.

“They said they are goingto paddle to the end and chantto the end,” said Marsha Bu-vary, whose children Albert,10, and Anna, 7, navigated theboat with Brady and BrettBarnes, 9 and 11, respectively.

But their handmade boat– along with most others –didn’t make it across thewidth of Swanson Pool with-out the kids somehow in thewater.

Melissa Weaver, aquat-ic supervisor with the St.Charles Park District, notedthat two boats made it across.

“I would call that a suc-cess,” she said of the new parkdistrict activity.

Another Sink or SwimCardboard Boat Race is set forJuly 12 at Otter Cove AquaticPark.

Participants are limitedto two construction materi-als – cardboard and duct tape.Boats cannot exceed 10 feet inlength and must be capableof holding at least one personbut no more than four.

Saturday, 8-year-old Hol-lister Schneider – who earnedthe nickname Dracula for hisvampire costume – workedon his coffin-shaped boat forseveral weeks with his father,Mark Schneider.

His father said such ele-ments as displacement, centerof gravity and symmetry fac-tored into the construction.

“There’s some science in-volved,” he said.

Although he capsized sooninto the race, the St. Charlesboy was rewarded for his ef-forts. He earned the VogueAward, which recognized theteam with the most spectacu-lar or attractive boat.

“This will make a greatmemory,” his grandmotherSandy Schneider said.

Lily and Norah Rooney, 12

and 8, took home first placealong with the Pride of Co-lumbus Award for the mostcreative design and best use

of corrugated cardboard.Paddling the boat to a win

didn’t come easy, though: “Myarms hurt,” Lily said.

Young St. Charles quintet Baltimore-boundBy KEVIN DRULEY

[email protected]

St. Charles residents JacobCollins, Justin Collins, LiamDrummond, Carson Nenniand Lucas Segobiano helpedtheir Fox Valley Lacrosseclub team to a 77-0 record inthe past two seasons.

The quintet is bound forBaltimore as a partial result.

Those five players, all in-coming freshmen – Drum-mond and Segobiano at St.

Charles North, the others atSt. Charles East – have earnedinvitations to this week’sBrine National Lacrosse Clas-sic at one of their sport’s pre-mier cities.

“They’re very known andprominent for their lacrosseup east, but our coachesthink we have the potential tohold our ground with them,”Drummond said.

Drummond, Segobianoand Jacob Collins will be mid-fielders for their All-Midwest

Region age group team, whileJustin Collins and Nenni helpthe cause on defense. Thereare eighth-grade, ninth-gradeand varsity teams participat-ing.

More than 1,900 lacrosseathletes from around the na-tion are set to take part in theevent, which includes show-case games, seminars andtraining.

Nenni’s father, Michael,coached the freshman group’sNaperville-based club team

and is looking forward tobeing a spectator with otherparents. Although he didn’tplay lacrosse himself, Nenniwarmed quickly to the sportas his three sons did after dis-covering it in an afterschoolenrichment program.

Seeing how some of St.Charles’ top young lacrossetalent competes especially ex-cites him.

“They have great charac-ter, they work their butts off,their parents are fantastic

at getting the kids back andforth,” Michael Nenni said.

Although their club pro-file certainly helped the St.Charles group gain recogni-tion, players still had to tryout during the winter at TheDome at Rosemont.

Tryouts consisted of drillsand scrimmages, with the ul-timate prize the chance to goto Baltimore.

“That was like the biggestnews I’ve ever gotten,” Drum-mond said, “lacrosse-wise.”

Greene gets quicker inprep for second season

By KEVIN [email protected]

Shea McClellin wins theaward for “body transforma-tion” of the 2014 Bears off-season, but there’s anotherlinebacker with a new num-ber who looked a bit differ-ent at OTAs and minicamp:Khaseem Greene.

The second-year Wil llinebacker “came into campa bit heavy” last summer,General Manager Phil Em-ery said during the season.Greene, who measured inat 241 pounds at the Com-bine, started four games lastseason in Lance Briggs’ ab-sence. He had 28 tackles andan interception against Min-nesota, but, like fellow rook-ie Jon Bostic and the rest ofthe defense, struggled.

Looking to make that“second-year leap,” Greeneslimmed down in the offsea-son, working out in Cincin-nati with trainer Clif Mar-shall and NFL players LukeKuechly, Rey Maualuga andMohamed Sanu.

He also was in Floridawith Brandon Marshall andother Bears teammates.

“I think the biggest thingfor me was just my nutri-tion, watching what I putinto my body and getting toa weight where I really wantto be at and feel real comfort-able at, which allowed me tofly around and move a littledifferently than I did lastyear,” Greene said as mini-camp wrapped up at HalasHall last week.

Greene has worked as thesecond-team weak-side line-backer behind Lance Briggs.“I like to play behind Lance,”he said. “He’s taught me alot, showed me some things.”Greene also will work to so-lidify his roster spot by par-ticipating on special teams.

In addition to getting hisnutrition in check, Greenehad an on-field trait he fo-

cused on during the offsea-

son to improve at linebacker

and on the coverage teams.

“My big thing was work-

ing with Clif on explosion,”

he said. “Those type of little

things that you don’t get to

work on every day.”

Greene said he has an ide-

al goal weight to reach for the

season, though he wouldn’t

disclose it. He’s not going to

be in the Bourbonnais con-

versation at linebacker that

will involve McClellin, Bos-

tic and D.J. Williams, but a

quicker, more lean Greene

helps the defense.

“You’ve got a young Kha-

seem that is running quick-

er, faster than he ever has

before at practice,” lineback-

ers coach Reggie Herring

said. “He’s lost some weightand he’s starting to look likethe guy that they drafted twoyears ago as far as movementskills. He’s having success.”

Greene agreed with hisposition coach that he is get-ting back to the physique heshowed off at Rutgers, wherehe was a two-time Big EastDefensive Player of the Year.

As a rookie, though, timeswere tough for Greene,whose Pro Football Focusgrade was -9.6. He soundslike a player with a chip onhis shoulder heading intotraining camp

“This offseason has beenreally good for me becauseI’m comfortable now withthe scheme, what’s going onwith the defense and alsowith myself, knowing that Ibelong here,” he said. “It’spretty much now or never.It’s time to show everyoneelse I belong here and silenceany doubt, or anything thatgoes on that I don’t knowabout or that I’m pretty sureI can imagine is going on,because it’s always going tohappen.

“Just being able to runaround my teammates andshow those guys I can be ac-countable to them as well,it’s been pretty fun.”

Assuming Greene makesthe 53-man roster, Week Oneagainst the Bills will havespecial meaning for him.Greene changed his numberto 52 to honor his formerRutgers teammate, Eric LeG-rand, who was paralyzed onthe field in October 2010 andhas been an inspiration tomany in his recovery.

“I can’t really put it intowords. The fact that I’mblessed enough to be in thisposition and I get to honorone of my closest friends insuch a way is an honor it-self,” Greene said. “I can’teven tell you how it’s goingto be that first game, but it’sgoing to be special.”

WHITE SOX

Abreu is not showingsigns of slowing down

By DARYL VAN [email protected]

TORONTO – It might takea while for the White Soxto be good again. You canbe sure Jose Abreu hopes itwon’t be long.

The offensive centerpiecein the Sox’ retooling plan,Abreu isn’t used to being onlosing teams. So his pa-tience might be tested whilemanagement tries to build ateam that is good for years tocome.

“He likes to win, man,”Cuban-born catcher Adri-an Nieto said. “He said hedoesn’t like to lose. TheCuban teams he was on werealways winning teams.”

From the way he prepares,studies and works, it becameobvious early on that Abreu,27, wants to be great. On dayswhen the Sox aren’t great,he doesn’t look around theroom; he looks in the mirror.

“When we lose, he feelslike he didn’t do enough, sohe puts a lot of pressure onhimself,” Nieto said. “I try totell him, ‘Hey, it’s everybody,not just you.’ ”

Abreu wouldn’t be thefirst person to change afterbecoming a star, but successisn’t new to him. Teammatesrespect his modesty despitewhat hitting coach ToddSteverson calls “the magni-tude of what he’s created forhimself.”

“You have this manyhomers [25] before the [All-

Star] break and so muchfanfare and publicity,”Steverson said. “People wantto see him. You’re not goingto go get popcorn when he’scoming up, that’s for sure.When he gets his name calledout, you want to watch andsee what happens. And that’sthe same for everyone on thebench, including myself.”

Abreu drove in the firstrun of the Sox’ 4-0 victorySunday against the TorontoBlue Jays with a single to leftagainst Mark Buehrle in thethird inning. The hit extend-ed his hitting streak to 14games, the second-longest inthe majors.

Despite not hitting a homerun during the first week ofthe season and missing twoweeks on the disabled list,Abreu is on pace to equalthe Sox’ record of 49 homersset by Albert Belle in 1998.The major-league rookierecord of 49 homers was setby Mark McGwire in 1987.Paul Konerko predicted inspring training that Abreu,who is batting .279, would hitfor average, too. He said thisweek that Abreu’s battingaverage will climb as hisstrikeouts decrease and hiswalks increase.

Steverson said Abreu’sstrikeouts stem from eager-ness.

At the midpoint of theseason, the buzz surround-ing Abreu, who leads theAmerican League in sluggingpercentage, hasn’t let up.

14Let freedom ring fromcoast to coast this July 4

Dear Abby:At 2 p.m.,July Fourth, I would lovenothing better than for allAmericans to stop brieflyand give our country a ring... well, THREE rings to beexact.

On July 4, 1963, PresidentJohn F. Kennedy pro-claimed the ringing of bellsnationwide with the words,“Let’s ring freedom bells!”I was a White House aidethen, and I vividly recallhow exciting it was whenbells rang across the nationcoast to coast. Since then,many Americans have for-gotten to keep the traditiongoing. Let’s start again!

From one American toanother, I ask all citizens tohelp me revive the ringingof bells at 2 p.m. this JulyFourth in celebration of theadoption of the Declarationof Independence. It’s easy.Ring a bell, shake yourkeys, tap a glass or find abell-ringing app on yoursmartphone. It will giveour country a much-neededsense of unity and con-nection to our past as onenation, one people.

The Ironworkers, SheetMetal Workers and Firefight-ers International Unions ofthe AFL-CIO, The NationalCartoonists Society andMalmark Inc. have joinedwith No Greater Love in thisspecial celebration of ourfreedom and the guardianswho protect us – our troops,firefighters and police.

Please, Abby, make yourmillions of readers awareof this effort. As inscribedon the Liberty Bell, “Let usproclaim liberty throughoutthe land unto all the inhab-itants thereof.” – CarmellaLaspada, Founder, NoGreater Love

Dear Carmella: I’m gladto help. I agree that sharedtraditions are the gluethat binds us together as anation. So readers, on JulyFourth, take a momentto quietly reflect on whatthis holiday is all about.Then make a joyful noiseand thank God for hisblessings on our countryand the freedoms we enjoytoday. That’s the Ameri-can spirit!

Dear Abby: My fiancee andI share a credit card thatwas opened under my name.I use it for gas and house-hold or family needs. Sheuses it for personal thingssuch as buying dolls for hercollection.

I was informed that I willno longer be able to use thecard after the last statementwe got. (I had spent morethan $100 on gas for themonth.) I feel I am usingthe card for the purposefor which it was intended.Buying things that aren’tfor the family but for herpersonal enjoyment wasn’tour agreement.

I’m not sure how toapproach her about thiswithout it becoming an ar-gument. She has a spendingproblem.

I recently found a job, so Icontribute financially to thehousehold. This is somethingthat has been thrown in myface every time we talk aboutmoney. I want to see thestatement so I can comparewho spent how much onwhat, but when I ask to see it,she gets defensive. – In TheDark In Michigan

Dear In The Dark: If thecredit card is in your name,then you are responsible foranything that is purchasedwith it. The statements areaddressed to you, and youhave a right to see them.That your fiancee is refus-ing to show them to youis a sure sign that she hassomething to hide.

That’s why you musttake the card away fromher to ensure that she isn’tputting you into a financialhole you won’t be able todig yourself out of. Andbecause the lady can’t seemto control her spending, I’murging you to think long andhard before marrying her,because after you do, youwill be responsible for herdebts.

Find and try thetwo chances

Phyllis Diller, a comedienne,said, “Housework can’t kill you,but why take a chance?”

Thinking at trick one cannotkill you, but if you play withoutthought, you will probably killyour chance of making or break-ing the contract.

In today’s deal, though, thehard part is spotting the sec-ond chance that declarer hasavailable to make his six-spadecontract. What should South doafter West leads the heart queen?

North’s three-diamond rebidpromises some points, usuallyfive or more.

Declarer has 11 top tricks: sixspades, two hearts, two diamondsand one club. The first thoughtis probably to hope that Westhas the diamond queen. ThenSouth would draw trumps, cashhis diamond ace, and overtakehis diamond 10 with dummy’sjack. That gets the job done if thefinesse wins, but leaves declarerwith no chance when East hasthe diamond queen.

Now look at the clubs. If oneof the two finesses works, Southcan get a second club winner. Buttwo finesses require two dummyentries. Where are they?

After drawing trumps, Southshould lead his diamond 10 andovertake it with dummy’s jack.

If East wins with his queen,declarer can claim because hehas at least three diamond tricks.Alternatively, if East ducks hisqueen, South can take the firstclub finesse. Then, in a moment,by overtaking the diamond kingwith dummy’s ace, declareris back in the dummy for thatsecond club finesse.

A priori, one finesse is a 50-50shot, but one of two finesses suc-ceeds 76 percent of the time.
