Garfield Farm settlers gather for reunion

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – Until Saturday, Judy Painter Thompson never had been to Garfield Farm Museum, which is on land her ancestors first settled in 1835.

She was grateful that she finally got the opportunity.

“It’s an awesome experience as a genealogist,” said Thompson, of California. “I got to walk on the same land as my ancestors.”

The land that houses Garfield Farm Museum was first settled July 8, 1835, by Sam and Margret Culbertson of Crawford County, Pa. In June 1841, Timothy and Harriet Garfield of Belmont, Vt., purchased the couple’s 440-acre claim for $650.

Thompson is the great-great-granddaughter of Sam and Margret Culbertson.

She was one of more than a dozen descendants of the Culbertson family who gathered Saturday at Garfield Farm Museum for a family reunion.

Mary Ellen Brue of Wisconsin, also is a great-great-granddaughter of the couple. As part of the reunion, Brue and other descendants learned about some of the artifacts, such as nails and pottery, that have been found in the vicinity of the original log house built in 1836 by the

Descendants from the Culbertson family walk around an archaeological dig Saturday at Garfield Farm Museum.

Culbertson family and later expanded and turned into a tavern by the Garfield family.

“It’s exciting, knowing they were the first people to settle the land,” Brue said.

Garfield Farm Museum operations director Bill Wolcott in 2010 started doing research on the Culbertson family and ended up making contact with Brue and Thompson.

“We didn’t know much about the family,” Wolcott said.

Helping piece everything together was the discovery of a day book that Sam Culbertson carried with him on his trek

from Pennsylvania to Illinois.

Wolcott flew out to Arizona earlier this year to pick up the day book from Wes Price, one of Culbertson’s relatives. He donated the book to the museum.

“It helped put the pieces together,” he said. “It’s amazing it has survived all these years.”

Wendell Harley, the greatgreat-grandson of Timothy Garfield, also was part of the

reunion. Harley, who lives near Elburn, is the superintendent of the Garfield Cemetery located next to Garfield Farm.

Harley said it was an opportunity for him to learn more about the Culbertson family, as well. And he is grateful the museum is helping preserve his family’s history.

“There is so much history here that could have been lost,” he said.

CAMPTON HILLS

Commission talks zoning rules for medical marijuana

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – The Campton Hills Plan Commission on Monday recommended rules about where medical marijuana can be grown and dispensed in the village.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed the bill legalizing medical marijuana last month. The law takes effect Jan. 1 and is a four-year pilot program.

Including medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensing organizations in Campton Hills’ zoning ordinance gives the village control of where such establishments will be allowed, Commission Chairman Rolf Fredrick said.

He noted he isn’t aware of any proposals for such establishments in Campton Hills.

Under the proposed amendments, medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensing organizations would be considered a special use.

The special-use permit would apply to the petitioner,

not the property, so it would lapse in such instances as ownership changes, Fredrick said.

Further, he said, the establishments would be allowed only in B-7 zoning districts.

Other uses in B-7 districts include adult-only nightclubs, body piercing establishments, massage parlors, pawnshops, tattoo parlors and payday loan stores.

Cultivation centers would not be allowed within 2,500 feet of schools or day cares.

Limits for dispensing organizations would be 1,000 feet.

Commissioner John Pree said those are “reasonable restrictions.” Addressing the issue is “the responsible thing for us to do.”

The commissioners recommended approval of the amendments after holding a public hearing on the topic.

Nobody from the public spoke on the issue.

The matter is to be acted on by the Campton Hills Village Board.

Push continues for disabled services tax in Kane County

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Advocates for a countywide referendum that would increase funding for those with developmental disabilities spoke on Monday about the need for such a referendum during a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Central Kane County.

“Think of this as a safety net,” said Chuck Miles, chairman of the board of directors for the Association for Individual Development. His 21-year-old daughter has developmental disabilities.

More than 1,000 Kane County residents with developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome and autism are on waiting lists for such services as job training, housing, transportation and respite care, Miles said.

“Help them be what they can be,” Miles said. “That’s

“Help them be what they can be. That’s what we owe our fellow citizens.”

Chuck Miles Chairman, Association for Individual Development what we owe our fellow citizens.”

The referendum seeks a 0.1 percent property tax that would raise about $12 million a year to provide disability services.

The increase would cost an additional $55 in property taxes for a house valued at $182,000, Miles said.

Advocates already have collected enough signatures to put the referendum on the March 2014 ballot. State law allows for counties to create a Developmental Disability Board and collect a 10-cent property tax to support services.

If it passes, Kane would join 14 other Illinois counties that also created boards to fund services for the developmentally disabled.

CLOSER LOOK FIGHTING CHILDHOOD OBESITY Children in the U.S. today face the possibility that they will live shorter lives than their parents.

Changes in American society, from increased portion sizes to foods with little nutritional value to technological devices of all kinds that discourage physical activity, have led to an estimated one-third of children and adolescents being considered overweight or obese.

September is Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, and the Kane County Chronicle is presenting a threeday series on childhood obesity and its effects on our children.

• Today: The root causes of childhood obesity.

• Wednesday: A look at how obese children risk physical and mental health issues.

• Thursday: Health care and school officials, as well as parents, discuss how to get the whole family healthy.

FIGHT

TOBEFIT

Sandy Bressner – sbressner@shawmedia.com

Madi Webb, 9, (far right) walks to her St. Charles home from her bus stop with her mom, Melissa, and sister, Allison, 8. Madi has recently enrolled in the ProActive Kids program at Pottawatomie Park in St. Charles. The program is sponsored by Cadence Health.

A WEIGHTY ISSUE

About 17 percent of children, adolescents in the U.S. are considered obese The word “diet” is never uttered in Melissa Webb’s house in St. Charles.

That doesn’t mean she isn’t careful about the meals she serves her three children.

“I try to lead by example.

I cook very healthy and pack healthy snacks,” said Webb, who for the past year has been on the Weight Watchers program.

“It has to be a lifestyle,” Webb said. “You throw the word diet out at kids, and it’s going to knock down their confidence quite a bit, I think.”

Eating healthy has become more of a priority for Webb after her daughter, 9-yearold Madi, was diagnosed as being overweight and having a higher body mass index, or BMI, than she should have.

BMI is a number calculated from a child’s weight and height. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, BMI is a reliable indicator of body fat for most children and teens.

“She doesn’t know when to

By ERIC SCHELKOPF n eschelkopf@shawmedia.com and SHAWN SHINNEMAN n sshinneman@shawmedia.com listen to her body in terms of being full,” Webb said. “She just continues to eat. Unfortunately, that is a problem that many Americans have.”

Madi is not alone. About 17 percent, or 12.5 million of children and adolescents ages 2 to 19 years old in the United States, are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Since 1980, obesity prevalence among children and adolescents has almost tripled.

In the simplest terms, a child with excess body fat is considered overweight or obese. Doctors take several factors into consideration – including weight, age, height and gender – to determine whether a child fits one of those categories. Children well above the normal weight for their age and height are considered obese, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The effects of childhood

obesity are serious and widespread, and there might be no better illustration of obesity’s rapid incline and the corresponding detriment to health than an observation in a 2005 study in The New England Journal of Medicine that the children who comprise this generation could end up living shorter lives than their parents.

Reasons behind rise in childhood obesity There are many reasons for childhood obesity’s rise, but experts tend to start the discussion by noting changes to American society during the past two or three decades.

Fast food and soda – filled with empty calories and sold cheap and in large quantities – are everywhere and fit neatly into on-the-go lifestyles.

Advertising is heavy for those products and often geared toward kids – $1.6 billion is

spent annually on food advertising to children and adolescents, according to the Federal Trade Commission.

In addition, technology makes it easier than ever to stay entertained without expending much energy.

As the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity noted in its 124-page report in 2010, “screen time” is up among children, as kids continue to sit in front of TVs, computers and gaming systems.

One of the major issues, said Dr. Bob Topp, childhood obesity expert and associate dean of Marquette University’s College of Nursing, is that the health care systems don’t know how to treat obesity.

It’s a behavioral disease, and as such requires prevention rather than medication or surgery.

But that fact has led to a “tipping point,” said Dr. Beverly Henry, an associate professor of nutrition and dietetics at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.

DETERMINING WEIGHT STATUS

It takes a family Parents also are key to keeping children healthy.

That’s why Webb enrolled Madi in the ProActive Kids program at the St. Charles Park District’s Pottawatomie Community Center, which is funded through Cadence Health.

The eight-week program is designed to teach kids and their families ways to

improve their health through exercise, nutritional lessons and open discussion.

Webb admitted that in the past, she was somewhat in denial about Madi’s weight and thought her daughter would thin out as she grew taller. She knows it’s better to address it now before it leads to health problems.

Webb said she hopes the program will help boost Madi’s self-confidence. Her daughter loves cheerleading and softball and can be tough on herself. Her other two children don’t have weight problems.

“I want to learn how to be healthy,” Madi said.

She is learning that exercise can be fun after enthusiastically running up and down a set of steep stairs at Pottawatomie Park recently as part of the program.

“I was the first one up and down,” Madi said proudly.

Webb also hopes that being around children who are battling the same problems will help give Madi’s self-esteem a boost.

“It’s very important to me as her mom to make sure that she knows she is not alone, that there are other kids who struggle just like she does, and that just because she’s overweight, it does not define her,” Webb said. “And right now, she kind of lets that define her. In the end, what I want really most of all is for her to gain some confidence and for her to be proud of whatever accomplishments she makes in the program.”

1976-1980 5.5 percent 5.8 percent

“No one intervention by itself is going to do the trick,” Isaacson said. “We really need to engage all different sectors of the community to really change the culture, to move more to a culture of wellness where people are active in their daily lives.”

Kane County schools also are trying to be part of the solution. For example, Batavia School District 101 this fall joined other area school districts in banning outside food in classrooms.

Brad Newkirk, the district’s chief academic officer, said the new policy is designed to address the district’s food allergy management policy and its health and wellness policy.

Geneva and Kaneland school districts prohibit birthday treats in the form of food items. St. Charles School District 303 supports nonfood treats and activities for school celebrations, as well as avoiding using food as an incentive or reward in the classroom. The district also discourages selling food as a means of fundraising.

Determining whether a child is overweight or obese is not as simple as looking at a number on a scale.

In the simplest terms, a child with excess body fat is considered overweight or obese. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using Body Mass Index, or BMI, as a way to screen children starting at age 2.

The BMI is calculated by using the child's weight, height, gender and age.

The BMI is then used to determine a child's weight status – underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese – by comparing that child's BMI to others who are the same age and gender. That child is placed into a percentile for age and gender.

Children are deemed to fall into the overweight category if they have a BMI at or above the 85th percentile but lower than the 95th

There are now many organizations working to find solutions.

However, scattered efforts haven’t led to feasible results.

“In the beginning, everyone comes to the table with their own agenda,” Henry said. “It takes a while to form that common goal and that common plan.”

Kane County officials are working to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic. In 2008, the county kicked off its “Making Kane County Fit for Kids” initiative, which has the goal of reversing childhood obesity in Kane County by 2020.

In the past five years, the county has provided more than $430,000 to community organizations to implement changes in Kane County to increase healthy eating and increase active living, said Michael Isaacson, assistant director for community health for the Kane County Health Department.

And it’s needed. Of the 2to 5-year-olds enrolled in the Women, Infants and Children food assistance program in Kane County, 32 percent are considered obese or overweight.

“The fact that these very young kids are already heavy, it’s even more critical to do something,” Isaacson said.

The Fit for Kids Funders’ Consortium has funded such programs as International Walk to School Day across the county. Last year, 53 schools in the county participated. The annual awareness event helps reach not just children but also parents and schools, Isaacson said.

“We can raise awareness about the benefits of walking and riding bicycles to school,” he said. “It also gives us an opportunity to look at specific schools so we can identify things that can be potential barriers.”

Isaacson said it will take everyone’s efforts to reverse childhood obesity. Kane County’s 2011 Community Health Assessment indicates that 21.8 percent of children younger than 18 are considered obese.

Kendall Republican Home sales up in Tri-Cities, Kane By the numbers Wheeler jumps into race for House seat

By JONATHAN BILYK

jbilyk@shawmedia.com

By JONATHAN BILYK jbilyk@shawmedia.com Another Kendall County Republican has formally joined the race to succeed retiring state legislator Kay Hatcher in the Illinois House of Representatives.

Sunday night, Oswego businessman and former Kendall County GOP Chairman Keith Wheeler told a crowd of supporters that he will run to win the Republican nomination in Illinois’ 50th House District in 2014.

“I’ve always looked at what could be in Illinois,” said Wheeler, speaking with The Kane County Chronicle on Monday. “We have just tremendous, fantastic resources, that anyone would want to take advantage of.

“But with how this state treats its business community, and its employers, you can see we’re not doing something right.”

In jumping into the race, Wheeler joins a field of two other declared candidates.

Beth Goncher of Aurora, who has served for 12 years as legislative aide to retiring state Rep. Tim Schmitz, R-Batavia, in the 49th House District, has declared her intent to run.

Julie Cosimo of Oswego, who works as an administrator at Benedictine University in Lisle, also has announced her candidacy.

All will run for the open seat in the 50th District, which covers much of south-

west Kane County, as well as northern Kendall County, after state Rep. Kay Hatcher, R-Yorkville, announced she would not seek re-election.

Wheeler challenged Hatcher in the Republican primary in the 50th District in 2010.

Wheeler, 46, operates Responsive Network Services, an IT consulting firm that he founded in 1991.

He has been involved in politics for years, working through the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the Republican Party.

He served as Kendall County Republican Party Chairman in 2008.

Within his community, he serves on the Bristol Township Board of Trustees and on an advisory subcommittee at Oswego School District 308.

He is married with three children.

He said he believes the top priority of state lawmakers should be to make the state more business-friendly, by reducing “suffocating” taxes and regulations.

Wheeler said he also believes a key to the state’s economic future will be how it handles the continued problems surrounding Illinois’ public worker pension programs.

He favors moving the pension system to a defined contribution system, similar to the 401(k) programs used in much of the private sector.

The primary election will be in March 2014.

The local housing market in the Tri-Cities and elsewhere in Kane County continued to stabilize as the summer home buying season drew to a close.

According to the latest round of home sales data from regional real estate trade groups, more homes sold in the region in August, and home prices – even for foreclosures – held steady.

“Things in this market just feel healthy right now,” said Leslie Ebersole, a real estate agent with Baird & Warner in St. Charles. “Things can still get better, but we are in a much better place now.”

In the Tri-Cities of St. Charles, Geneva and Batavia, combined, 165 homes sold last month, an increase of 18.7 percent from August 2012, according to information from the MainStreet Organization of Realtors, a trade group representing real estate agents in the Chicago area.

In Kane County, overall, the statewide Illinois Association of Realtors reported that 776 homes sold in August, an increase of 14.5 percent.

Anyone willing to put their home on the market is having an easier time finding a buyer, according to home sales data.

And prices also have stabilized, as prices for foreclosures and short sales – so-called “distressed properties” – edge higher. So how did each of the Tri-Cities’ home markets fare in August 2013 vs.

August 2012? Here are some numbers: St. Charles – 71 homes sold,

up from 57; $312,000 median non-distressed home price, down from $339,000.

Geneva – 57 homes sold, up from 45; $328,750 median non-distressed home price, down from $336,000.

Batavia – 37 homes sold, unchanged; $285,000 median non-distressed home price, up from $262,500.

Those increases included a relatively large number of homes sold through foreclosure or short sale, as well.

In the Tri-Cities, for instance, the so-called “distressed properties” accounted for about 25.5 percent of all homes sold in August. That marked an increase from August 2012, when 22 percent of homes sold in the Tri-Cities were considered distressed.

In all, 42 home sales in August were either bank-owned foreclosures or short sales.

However, homes sold “traditionally” – meaning, seller to buyer with no lender inter-

mediaries – also increased 14 percent in August.

The increased sales activity appears to have helped stabilize home prices, as well.

The IAR reported that the median home price in Kane County had increased 16.4 percent in August, from $149,900 in August 2012 to $174,500 last month.

In the Tri-Cities, the average median price of homes sold traditionally in all three cities edged down by about 1.3 percent, from $312,626 to $308,583, according to

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Virginia Ann (Anderson) Reinken, 79, of Scottsdale, Ariz., passed away Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2013, at her home after a short illness. She was

After graduation and marriage, she moved to El Paso, Texas, in 1955, where her husband was stationed in the Army. She taught her first year in her major while in El Paso. The couple moved to Scottsdale in June 1956, where she pursued her education earning her master’s degree from Arizona State University in 1958.

She loved teaching and continued to teach 27 years at Scottsdale High and 23 years at Coronado High School, retiring in 2006 having taught over 10,000 teenagers in her 51-year teaching career. She was blessed with a lovely singing voice and starred in many musicals that were presented at Scottsdale High School for the Scholarship Fund, such as “76 Trombones” and “Brigadoon.”

Along with music, she also loved reading, movies, food, close friends and family, her dear cats, “Ms. Kookie” and “Mr. KitKat,” and Ascension Lutheran Church, where she was a member since 1956.

Official says much of activity in local home sales centers around homes priced at $350,000 or less • HOME SALES Continued from page 8 MainStreet data.

But Ebersole noted that home prices for distressed properties have increased, holding the median price steady.

“People are still buying them [distressed properties],

and they’re still asking to see them,” Ebersole said.

“But they’re learning that there’s just not this big, screaming ‘30 percent off discount’ that maybe they could get a couple years back.

“The banks have really tightened up their prices to bring them more in line with fair market value.”

Ebersole also noted that

much of the activity in local home sales remains centered on homes priced at $350,000 or less.

“Anything below that gets a lot, a lot, of attention around here,” she said. “But more than that, and especially above $500,000, it’s a struggle.

“It’s kind of a tale of two markets, still.”

The Rev. Jennifer Anderson Koenig, who served as associate college pastor at St. Olaf College for more than 15 years, died Friday, Sept. 20, 2013, at the age of 47. In life and in death, she was surrounded by the love of her family and many, many friends.

Jennifer was born in St. Charles, and, at the age of 2, moved to Geneva with her family. She attended Geneva High School, where she served as class president for three years, was a member of the National Honor Society, competed at the Illinois State Track and Field Championships and was active in many school programs.

She had a love for dance and choreography, which led her to become a dance major at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn. She graduated from St. Olaf in 1987. After college, she pursued a career in the arts. For three years, she performed with a professional modern dance company, Ballet Harren.

She was called to the ministry, however, and in 1994 she earned her master of divinity degree from Luther Seminary, where she served for three years on the dance and fine arts committee.

Jennifer served in parish ministry in West Des Moines, Iowa at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church before coming to St. Olaf in 1997. She described the St. Olaf position as her “dream call,” and devoted herself to leading campus worship, preaching, and counseling students. “One of her greatest strengths was her sincere willingness to sit down and have

a meaningful conversation at any time with anyone,” says longtime colleague and retired College Pastor Bruce Benson. “She took a genuine interest in people’s lives, and that endeared her to so many.”

Koenig worked with a variety of departments across campus, from the arts to the sciences. However, the many personal relationships that she developed with students and faculty over the years are her enduring legacy. One of the spaces in Regents Hall of Natural and Mathematical Sciences is named in her honor as a gift from parents of a former student. In addition, several musical pieces, either commissioned by parents of former students, friends of the college, or friends of Jennifer, have been composed and performed in her honor.

Jennifer loved poetry and the arts. She was an avid writer of letters and notes – always seeking to honor her friends’ birthdays, to comfort them in grief or to celebrate even the most mundane things. She saw beauty, profundity and the opportunity to ask more questions in everything she encountered. Her smile was luminous and her laugh was full-bodied, endearing, and infectious. She loved to celebrate God’s creation in and with others.

Active in the community as well as on campus, Koenig mentored high school students, helped lead the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s Malaria Campaign and actively organized neighborhood gatherings where new neighbors could meet new friends.

Her CaringBridge site details her battle with glioblastoma.

Survivors include her husband, David; her children, Anders and Sylvia; her father, John Anderson of Geneva; her sister, Karla (Chuck) Boucek and their children, Lian and

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – When the Geneva Library Board voted unanimously Saturday not to proceed with a planned purchase of the 2.28 acre Cetron property, the decision ended a threeyear effort to buy the site for a new library.

The board voted in July 2010 to buy the property at 7 Richards St. for $2 million. That action followed library officials’ 10-year effort to buy the former Sixth Street School site for a new library building with parking.

The previous county board had approved the sale, but never followed through. The Kane County Regional Education Office is currently housed there.

Board president Esther Steel said voting no on the Cetron property was difficult.

“It was huge for the entire board,” Steel said. “This was a huge, difficult decision, but the one thing about our board, they are all passionate about doing the right thing for the library district.”

Library trustee Robert Shiffler echoed Steel’s sentiments.

“I’m disappointed,” Shiffler said. “But I think we made the right decision. We have to take a look at what alternatives we have and start the process all over again.”

The effort to find a location and build a larger facility while remaining in the city’s downtown has been a long-term plan of library officials, as the current building at 127 James St. is not big enough to serve the district’s 31,000 residents, Steel

said.

“We’re not really providing services in our building that we should be,” Steel said. “We are really falling down at this point on things we should be doing for our community. It’s really frustrating.”

If the Cetron purchase had gone through, voter support for a referendum to build a new facility Esther Steel w o u l d h a v e been required, she said.

Trustees voted 6-0 not to proceed with the Cetron purchase following a 90-minute closed special meeting Saturday.

Trustee Travis Ketterman was out of town and not available to attend, Steel said.

The library hired Aires Consulting of Batavia for a site assessment of environmental conditions that began in April.

If clean-up was deemed to be too expensive, library trustees could stop the sale – which they did.

Steel said attorneys advised library officials they could not release the environmental re-

port, nor provide specifics as to what was found at the Cetron site.

The building had been used in the manufacture of light bulbs in the past, but was vacant and in foreclosure for the past several years.

But Steel said other issues also led to the decision to back out of the sale.

“There were a lot of factors, actually, a lot of dynamics going on,” Steel said. “Location was a factor. There are possible other, potentially better locations that all tie into it.”

As to whether library officials would pursue the former Sixth Street School site again, Steel said the board would be looking at several options, but could not speak publicly about them yet.

“We might even reconsider looking at our own building,” Steel said. “There are a lot of options on the table, and we have virtually a new board ….

This board needs an opportunity to sit down and look at all our options. I think we owe it to them to be able to work through this process.”

Other options discussed in the past included if the city

were to move to a new building, the library could expand into the city hall space.

But Steel said in order to make that option work, the 101-year-old city hall building would have to be torn down.

“That is something we are going to be discussing – what we would have to do to that block to make it work for the library,” Steel said. “We were trying to hold off on focus groups until we had a location, and now we don’t [have a location]. We are reviewing everything we should do. It does not cost us any money to host a few focus groups.”

Steel said the Cetron decision would be up for discussion at its regular meeting 7 p.m.

Thursday, though part of the meeting will be in closed session as trustees discuss other locations for a new library building.

The library board canceled a special meeting that had been set for Monday to discuss a recent court decision on an annexation dispute with the Batavia Library District. Steel said discussion on that decision might be added to Thursday’s agenda.

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Batavia resident Karyn Bergsieker liked what she saw Saturday as she walked around the new Art Van Furniture store on Randall Road in Batavia.

“It’s wonderful so far,” Bergsieker said. “Good prices and good variety.”

Bergsieker was among those in attendance at Saturday’s grand opening of the store at 165 Randall Road in Batavia, which formerly housed Wickes Furniture.

Wickes went out of business in 2008.

Her daughter, Courtney Bergsieker, is a member of the Batavia High School dance team, which performed at the grand opening.

The store has been open since Sept. 14.

Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke welcomed the Michi-

gan-based furniture and mattress retailer to the community. Art Van Furniture also recently opened stores in Orland Park and Hobart, Ind. “Batavia is really looking forward to some very positive synergy from you,” Schielke said in addressing store officials.

Store manager Gerri Knapp said the store wants to provide “furniture at a reasonable price point, but of a great quality.” The retailer in April announced its plans to open a store in Batavia.

“Batavia is a market that we wanted to be in,” Art Van Furniture CEO Kim Yost said.

He said the building’s size made it ideal for a store.

“It’s 40,000 square feet, which is a good size,” Yost said. “We can’t open a store smaller than 40,000 square feet. It also has great visibility and parking.”

Oberg said she presented the tentative budget to the Finance Advisory Committee twice and members suggested some reductions in the education fund that she applied to the final proposal.

BATAVIA – Chris and Holly Miller didn’t wake up Sunday morning intending to bring their three young children to Batavia’s riverfront to admire the booths full of paintings, photographs, sculptures, carvings and more.

But by the time the Batavia family had finished their lunch at a nearby restaurant, the opportunity to soak in some natural and human-made beauty proved too strong a draw to pass up.

“This is a first for us, coming here,” Chris Miller said.

“But it’s a great chance to get out and take in some sunshine and a little culture, at the same time.”

Sunday, the Millers were among hundreds who stopped in at the Batavia Riverwalk for the city’s annual Art in Your Eye festival.

Organizers moved the event this year to mid-September to try a different scheduling option to escape the heat, humidity and stormy conditions typical of August, when the event used to be held in years past.

However, as in years past, the event again boasted dozens of artists from Kane County, the Chicago area and beyond, who turned out to exhibit and sell their works.

Inside Batavia City Hall, local artists displayed art works in a juried competition.

But the big draw, amid sunny fall weather conditions over the festival’s two-day run, proved to be the tented outdoor exhibits in the festival’s outdoor art fair.

Artists exhibited art produced using a range of techniques and media.

Batavia resident Ezra Siegel exhibited several of his abstract and myth-based paintings, drawing a steady stream of visitors and selling a few works.

This weekend marked the first time Siegel has exhibited in Batavia, as the Chicago native and world-traveled artist has typically missed Art in Your Eye because of schedule conflicts.

He noted this year, thanks to the new date, he was able to attend and add his works to the collections on display He said he hopes events like Art in Your Eye can help Batavia gain prominence within the regional artistic communities.

“There is a younger generation moving into this area, people who are fairly worldly and sophisticated,” Siegel said. “I’m hoping Batavia gets put on the map for its community of artists, this fair and [local art studio] Water Street.”

Kane County Business Works to Make Clothes Dryers Safer

I

t is estimated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the U.S. Fire Administration that 15,500 fires associated with clothes dryers occur annually. These fires account for an average of 34 deaths, 370 injuries and more than $240 million in property damage. “Failure to clean the dryer vent” was the leading factor cited in U.S. Fire Administration reports.

Police urge motorists to use care and watch for pedestrians.

Police and emergency management personnel will provide traffic assistance at key intersections.

The parade is one of the last activities planned for East’s homecoming week, which began Sunday with students painting windows in downtown St. Charles.

The theme is Saints on Tour. Other events include class volleyball games today, penny day on Wednesday and a dance Saturday, according to the student council.

OPINIONS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The gun act To the Editor: The government of the United States of America has passed laws that were originally given to the American people without question from our Founding Fathers of this country – the right to bear arms.

The state of Illinois was the last state to legalize the right for citizens to carry a gun with them at most any place. The government of the United States has strayed away from the important document that our Founding Fathers wrote for this country and for the

rights of all citizens.

The evolution of the government and its thoughts have dramatically changed this country in a highly negative direction. The government that once cared for America and its people is now in a very peculiar and questionable state.

The government has strayed from the path of liberty, but America and its people who still proudly raise its flag have not.

ANOTHER VIEW

Pope’s new tone suggests an age of change is ahead BLOOMBERG NEWS Since his papacy began in March, Pope Francis has shown himself to be a man of small but substantial gestures.

He exudes a pastoral charm – whether cleaning the feet of prisoners, hugging a disabled child after Easter Mass or picking up the phone to comfort the distraught – that didn’t always come naturally to his predecessors.

He dresses modestly, lives austerely, speaks constantly of the poor and drives a 1984 Renault. He has reached out to atheists, gays and divorcees.

In an interview released last week, Francis went further still. He affirmed his support for gays and lesbians,

spoke candidly about his mistakes and doubts and made clear that the Vatican, in his estimation, has fixated for far too long on a narrow set of controversial issues and “small-minded rules.”

“The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently,” he said. “We have to find a new balance; otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards.”

In describing that new balance, the pope’s language was suffused with ambiguity, uncertainty and doubt – in other words, the language of reality. And perhaps most strikingly, he showed himself to be comfortable with

change.

This is not the language one is accustomed to hearing from popes. Or from, say, Congress. Yet it should resonate with other large and change-averse institutions that will soon be grappling with an era of unprecedented change.

To say that Francis is trying to appease “liberal” Catholics, or is conforming to any other ideological caricature, is to miss the point. He’s attempting to transcend the moribund and dispiriting language of the culture wars altogether, and to inject a note of seriousness and compassion into a public conversation saturated with triviality and invective. And he is grounding his arguments, in the best tradition of Catholic thought,

Editorial board Jim Ringness

Kathy Gresey Jay Schwab

Al Lagattolla Kate Schott

in concern for the individual.

In doing so, Francis also makes a strong case that he, and by extension the church, has something to offer increasingly secular societies. In the developing world, where some 70 percent of Catholics now live, the church is most visible in the network of social services it operates for the poor. In the rich world, in recent years, it has more often been the voice of reaction and sexual opprobrium. Francis is clearly trying to change that dynamic, to show that the church has more to offer.

We should hope he’s right.

In an age of accelerating technological and social upheaval – when everything from communications to economics to politics to the global climate

is rapidly evolving – a moral voice that is not only open to change but also attuned to the individual suffering and alienation that change can cause will grow ever more important.

Francis’ rhetoric implies no imminent revolution in church policies. Yet the Vatican is an organization of the long game. “Many think that changes and reforms can take place in a short time,” he said.

“I believe that we always need time to lay the foundations for real, effective change.”

This is true, both in the church and in every other human institution. In the war of ideas, the papacy remains a singularly influential institution, and this pope is wielding his persuasive power in a new and vivifying way.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

FOX VALLEY MARATHON

Veteran marathon runner breaks through

By JAY SCHWAB jschwab@shawmedia.com

• Tuesday, September 24, 2013

ST. CHARLES – Jeff Kelly started running marathons 20 years ago, counting numerous respectable finishes among the 30-plus races he’s completed.

He had never won a marathon, and at age 39, those ambitions were beginning to flicker.

On Sunday, the Urba- More na man added marathon a landmark coverage moment to his accomplished More mararunning cathon coverage reer, winning on pages 22 the fourth annual Advo- through 24 and results on 12 cate Dreyer through 16.

Fox Valley Marathon in 2:40.01.

“I get real emotional, and it pops up at weird points,” said Kelly, who finished fourth at the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati in 2003. “It hits me, and I tear up, and then that goes away, and I’m happy. I do get emotional, but then I go back to, ‘I’ve got to keep working.’

“It’s very exciting to me.

It means a lot to get a win because I don’t know how much

I’m almost 40, so this is a huge thing for me.”

Kelly’s winning time was less than two minutes ahead of second-place finisher Mark Wehrman, 27, of Chicago.

Kelly works at Carle Heart & Vascular Institute in Urbana, helping administer heart tests.

He was joined for the late portion of the race by one of his running-group teammates from the Champaign area,

Brandon Smith.

“To actually win and get some glory for all your hard work is pretty incredible for the amount of time that he puts into it and the passion he has for it,” Smith said. “I

know it was very emotional for him. He won’t even justify it in words how much it means to him. He’s probably going to train like twice as hard now.”

After winning the half-marathon, the Geneva man said he planned to head back out on the course to run the late stages of the race with his father, Bill, who was running his first full marathon. “He’s 65, running his first marathon, so that should be pretty cool,” Ott said.

“I’m more excited about that [than winning the half marathon.” … Kelly,

the female half marathon winner, said she ran the race as training for the upcoming full marathon in her hometown of Naperville. She had to fight some queasiness during the race afterward. “My stomach wasn’t agreeing with me too much today,” the 29-year-old said. “So it’s kind of rough. My breakfast wanted to make a re-appearance. Always when I’m feeling rough, I just kind of repeat to myself ‘Steady focus, steady focus,’ and then just try to make it to the end in one piece.”

FV Marathon keeps gaining clout ST. CHARLES – Walking the streets near downtown St. Charles offered its usual serenity Sunday morning.

The sun, the trees, the breeze – all of it accentuated for consumption on the first day of fall.

As you trekked closer to the intersection of First and Illinois streets, however, a less-traditional dynamic entered the equation. Heard from neighboring front porches, garages and yards was the blaring, unbridled optimism of nearly everyone associated with the Advocate Dreyer Fox Valley Marathon.

“Kane County, they should be proud of themselves. This is a very top-notch race here,” runner John Collet would say later above the din of classic rock from the loudspeakers.

Naturally, that’s music to the ears of co-organizers Craig Bixler and Dave Sheble.

From the time they launched the event in 2010, Bixler and Sheble stressed Fox Valley was

QUICK READ Kevin Druley a complement, not competition, to the Chicago Marathon held three weeks later.

To be sure, the roughly 3,700 runners who descended on St. Charles and the Fox River Trail for the marathon, half-marathon and 20-mile run will seem as tiny as many runners’ waistlines compared to the field that’s running Oct. 13 in Chicago.

One contingent among that 3,700 is even smaller, but the fact it exists illustrates why one late September Sunday in STC should be especially active for years to come.

“I think there’s two crowds anymore. There’s people that want more of a party atmosphere and the large field. Then there’s the other side,” said Jeff Kelly, who won Sunday’s marathon in 2:40:01. “I want

the simple race, something like this where you don’t have 10,000 people around you. I like this better. I’ve done enough of those rock ’n’ roll races.”

Remember, 26.2 miles is 26.2 miles, and, taken from those refueling after their runs, Fox Valley sounds just as wellcoiffed as its brethren.

“I think this race is so good that I prefer to do this rather than Chicago. So I don’t run Chicago. I run this, and I’m running Naperville in November,” said marathoner Tim Arends of St. Charles. “This is such a great race, to me, I don’t think you’re missing anything. It’s a great course and every year, it’s well-run.”

With its scenery, shade and flat layout, the Fox River Trail course speeds up the marathon process and the influx of interested athletes.

You can practice on the Fox Valley course on any day of the week. Try doing that in Chicago.

Bixler and Sheble plan to cap

the field at about 4,500 runners next fall. Look for Fox Valley to keep boosting its reputation as a destination race for regional runners after that.

“I just think we’re fortunate.

We’re fortunate that we’re in an area that supports this kind of thing actively as far as the city, the residents, the police.

And passively, just as far as the facilities that are here,” Bixler said.

“You can’t do this anywhere, and it wouldn’t be the same most places. It wouldn’t be the same experience for the runners. So the fact that we get to take advantage of so much that’s been put in place. The cities have just done things right for many years, and this is just one piece of being able to take advantage.”

Former Wisconsin Badger is top female marathon finisher • MARATHON Continued from page 21 Kelly has run big-city marathons such as Boston and Chicago but prefers smaller races like Fox Valley, saying “the bigger they get, the more work it is.” It was his first appearance at the Fox Valley race, which begins and ends in downtown St. Charles and snakes along the Fox River through Geneva, Batavia, North Aurora and Aurora.

“It’s fairly fast,” Kelly said of the river trail-intensive course. “At the end there were some hairpin turns that hit you when you’re hurting. Overall, it’s great. I kind of felt like I was on a long run most of the day because there was nobody really except the [half-marathoners] that I could see.”

Wehrman was happy with his second-place performance and the Boston Marathon qualification that came with it, although he was unsure whether it would apply to the 2014 or 2015 Boston race.

“My goal was time, I wasn’t

necessarily concerned about place, but it’s fun to finish in the top three, at any time,” Wehrman said. “And of course having a time to back it up feels really good, too.”

The women’s marathon crown went to Lindsey Kong, 25, of Madison, Wis. A graduate student at the University of Wisconsin studying physical therapy, Kong also is a former runner for the Badgers cross country and track teams. While thrilled to win the race, Kong badly wanted to beat the 3-hour mark. Her time of 3:01.23 still was a women’s course record.

“I feel silly complaining, but when you’re so close … ,” Kong, who only had run one marathon before Sunday, said.

It was a classic, sunsplashed fall morning, especially ideal for dense clusters of spectators compared to past years.

“The biggest change I’m seeing now, and it’s partly weather-related, is spectators,” said Craig Bixler, co-race organizer along with fellow St. Charles resident Dave Sheble.

“I’ve heard from the runners there was not a blank space out there on the course, and in past years, we had pockets of spectators, and then areas where there’s no one out watching, and they’re running along kind of in solitude.”

The total field of registered runners for the three races – as has been the case all four years, race day included a 20-mile run and a half-marathon – was about 4,500 as the event continued its incremental growth.

The final mile of the affiliated, summer-long “Kids Marathon” took place Saturday.

Sheble said there were about 1,000 race-day volunteers Sunday tending to various components of the event.

Heather Ruiz, of Niles, experienced the day from both perspectives of runner and spectator.

Ruiz, part of the North Shore Distance Running Club, ran the half-marathon, then settled into a grassy area along the banks of the Fox River just before the final turn to cheer on clubmates and other runners.

Ruiz said she empathized

with those who were laboring, saying “you know exactly what they’re feeling.”

“As an athlete, if you’re paying attention, you’ve seen it all,” Ruiz said. “At the beginning of your training career, you’re one of the weak ones, you’re one of the ones who say ‘I don’t know if I can do this, if I can complete a whole half or I don’t know if I can complete a whole full.’ Those are the people that are walking, and you’re like, ‘You know what, you can do this.’

“That’s the inner voice you’re just hoping to encourage inside of them to make them push through their boundaries. That’s what sports and athletic [competitions] are all about, getting to the next level because you never knew you could.”

As for her own race, Ruiz said she enjoyed a “runner’s high” unlike any she’s previously experienced.

“I was just skipping and running and crying and laughing, all at the same time,” Ruiz said. “It was otherworldly, is what it was. It was amazing.”

FOX VALLEY MARATHON NOTEBOOK

By KEVIN DRULEY and JAY SCHWAB sports@kcchronicle.com

In Kong’s case, her boyfriend, Gabriel Stanek, ran the entire race with her.

Kong said Stanek could have beaten 3 hours on his own; she came in at 3:01.23.

“He encouraged me when I wanted to give up, so that was very helpful,” Kong said.

Two of Kong’s sisters also participated in Sunday’s festivities, including women’s half-marathon second-place finisher, Amy Kong.

Kelly, meanwhile, said his friend, Brandon Smith – who, like Kelly, is part of the “CU Racing Team” in the Champaign-Urbana area – ran about seven miles with him late in the race.

“That really helps because when I’m alone, you’re in your head,” Kelly said. “Brandon’s a coach.

He’ll help motivate you.”

Smith said he told Kelly “that he’s tougher than anybody, and I know he is.”

“I didn’t want to get in front of him, I felt like I was stealing his glory because people thought I was in the lead or something,” Smith said. “So I was going behind him, and he started yelling

By KEVIN DRULEY kdruley@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Tim Arends registered for the inaugural Naperville Marathon in November before filing for his fourth Advocate Dreyer Fox Valley Marathon Sunday morning.

That helped lend credence to his praise for Craig Bixler and Dave Sheble, fellow St. Charles men who are the organizers of the Fox Valley event and as part of the Naperville planning team.

“I haven’t done a ton of different races, but you know, the ones I’ve done, whether it be Rockford or Schaumburg or some of the others that you can easily drive to in the area, this is by far and away, I think,

the best,” Arends said. “I hope Naperville’s just as good.”

Bixler – who has elected to pursue race directing fulltime after a lengthy career as a software engineer – stressed the Fox Valley race and the Nov. 10 Naperville event are sister races, not a sibling rivalry.

“So it’s not a competition at all,” Bixler said. “People that are going to run the Naperville Marathon can run our [half marathon] or our 20[mile run] as a training to do that one.”

Or even make it 52.4 miles of Bixler/Sheble bonanza and compete in both.

“It’s reasonable to think that you cold run this and run Naperville and not be too beat down for that race,” said the

44-year old Arends, who plans to try.

John Collet of Verona, the second overall finisher in Sunday’s half marathon, approached Bixler after his cooldown to offer feedback, positive and constructive alike.

Collet used the Fox Valley half-marathon as preparation for the Naperville Marathon, but not because he’s a groupie of Bixler or Sheble, who he was encountering for the first time.

“I signed up because I went to North Central College,” Collet said. “It just so happens they’re the race director for both. I didn’t know that when I signed up.”

at me to get in front of him.

So I was like ‘Well, whatever, I’ll get in front of you.’ …

I was just there to help him out. We’re not used to being in the lead.”

Logistics legends: By year four of the Fox Valley Marathon, co-organizers Craig Bixler and Dave Sheble know how to cover the bases, but pulling off such a huge event is never stressfree.

“We had the usual things that don’t go as planned, but we build in checks and balances,” Bixler said. “So a piece of the course wasn’t open when it was supposed

to be, but we checked that early enough that it was open long before the runners got through.”

The St. Charles men take pride in coordinating the logistics as smoothly as possible, including a prompt cleanup of the course and race headquarters downtown that begins long before the races are complete.

Bixler said the cities involved appreciate the commitment to tidying up.

“Invariably, we get the comment that we’re the standard that they wish all events would adhere to,” Bixler said.

ST. CHARLES – Paul Thomas discovered the Advocate Dreyer Fox Valley Marathon not through wordof-mouth or an online marathon search engine.

The Batavian stumbled on the race during a morning run last September, and Sunday, his muscle memory more than held up.

Thomas earned the title of top Tri-Cities men’s marathon finisher after traversing the familiar course in 3:05:12, a personal record in his third career marathon.

“It kind of snuck up on me at the end,” Thomas said, “but it was a good day and a nice time.”

A 33-year-old ironworker, Thomas lives near the marathon’s seven-mile marker on the Fox River Trail, which doubles as his training course on most mornings.

Although a friend was in the 2012 Fox Valley field, Thomas said he didn’t know a marathon was going on until the opening stages of his run. He followed along the

marathon course for about half of a 17-mile workout.

“It was supposed to be a long, slow run, and then with people out there cheering and whatnot, it turned into a race pace,” Thomas said.

Sporting a puzzled look and no bib number, Thomas still blended in.

“The only time I caught any flak was when I was going to veer from the course,” he said. “I’m like, ‘I’m not in the race.’ ” Thomas, who finished 44th on Sunday, found himself very much involved in a tune-up for next month’s Chicago Marathon. His wife, Tina, will be part of the field, too.

“She doesn’t like to run with anybody, though,” Thomas said.

In Chicago, chances are she’ll make like her husband and find a pack anyway.

A little help: Jeff Kelly, winner of the men’s marathon, and Lindsey Kong, winner of the women’s marathon, had something in common Sunday – oncourse, moral support from a close acquaintance.

Estabrook hopes Honore will continue to be a spark for the Vikings, who got back to .500 mark the win. Geneva

was coming off a tough loss to rival Batavia in which it surrendered a goal in the closing seconds.

Monday’s match against Kaneland (3-4-2) was never in

doubt, as Jason Lagger scored just over 10 minutes into the contest to provide the winning tally. The junior also assisted on Honore’s first goal as well as a Drew Klaus header that made it 3-0.

Honore capped the scoring with a beautiful lofted ball that just escaped the reach of Kaneland goalkeeper Jarred Karr.

Geneva’s dominating effort did not please Kaneland coach Scott Parillo, who looked on as the Knights’ notched only a pair of shots on goal. Geneva led, 2-0, at halftime.

“We didn’t come to play today. We weren’t aggressive and we weren’t communicating,” Parillo said. “I can make all of the excuses in the world, but these kids have been playing for a long time and you either match the intensity of the other team or you get your butt kicked. It’s been years since we’ve lost 4-0.”

St. Charles North boys golf takes home Elgin Invitational title KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE BARTLETT – St. Charles North boys golf coach Rob Prentiss isn’t losing his attention to detail, but he admits something important nearly slipped through the cracks during Monday’s Elgin Invitational at Bartlett Hills.

“The scores kind of fell in place there. We had a nice team score, but I didn’t really look at the scoreboard un-

til the end, and I realized we won,” Prentiss said.

North (313) edged South Elgin (317) in a 10-team event in which Geneva (321) placed third.

Matt Samuelson carded a 75 for the North Stars, one stroke off the medalist’s pace.

Raghav Cherala (77) and JT Grill (78) also were top 10 individuals for North. Alex Schreiber led Geneva with a 77.

GENEVA – The start of the high school boys soccer season in Illinois also marks the onset of big-money transfers between the high-profile professional soccer clubs in Europe.

Geneva has its own version of a high-profile transfer in French foreign exchange student Igor Honore.

Honore brings size and speed to an already fast Vikings’ front line that had little trouble with visiting Kaneland in a 4-0 victory Monday night.

It’s been an interesting couple of months for Honore, who scored twice in Geneva’s easy win to make it three scores in three varsity contests.

Honore came to Geneva (44) a month ago and has been getting acclimated to American culture and language ever since.

“It is a dream to be here and be in the United States – it’s a great country and I’m excited to be here,” Honore said. “I wanted to have a great experience and to adapt to a new culture and to make friends around the world and improve my English.

It’s been great on varsity, I’ve really enjoyed it.”

Honore supports the Vikings’ already deep front line, giving Geneva coach Ryan Estabrook a dangerous weapon that has been busy since he made his varsity debut against Glenbard South last week.

“Igor missed the first week and a half of tryouts because he wasn’t even in the country yet, so then we had to go through all of the paperwork,” Estabrook said. “After his first two JV games where I think he had five goals in two games, we said this is a kid we need to bring up to varsity. We had to wait for the IHSA to approve all of that and

NOTEWORTHY

The

Insider

Battered Bulldogs Batavia football coach Dennis Piron wishes a few of his players had been more up-front, sooner, about some of their health/ injury concerns after the season’s first couple games.

With marquee matchups for the Bulldogs each of the first three weeks of the season, Piron said there were cases in which players who probably should have sat out elected to keep their conditions to themselves and keep playing.

“Whether they don’t want to tell us as coaches or they want to play against those schools, it kind of caught up with them a little bit,” Piron said.

A handful of Batavia players were not dressed for Saturday’s 56-14 romp at winless Streamwood, including defensive starters Anthony Thielk, James Millette, Brandon Dean and Donovan Kilker. Dean has experienced concussion symptoms, Piron said.

“Anthony [Thielk] probably shouldn’t have played maybe [Week 3 at Geneva] but he felt it was important in that Geneva game that he was out there,” Piron said. “James Millette has had a shoulder that had been bugging him, got hit kind of funny in the Geneva game, some kid kind of came down on him a little late. I wasn’t too sure about the hit, but he got hurt.

“Some of our depth guys, too, are just banged up. …

We had kind of a rash of things. Nothing in practice,

all in games or unrelated, like health things that just popped up.”

Piron said it’s “hard to say” if some of the players might miss more than one week, but with a second straight winless foe – West Chicago – on the schedule Friday, the Bulldogs (3-1) have the luxury of taking a conservative approach without having to pay much of a price.

“I think we want them to get 100 percent first,” Piron said.

“It was a nice opportunity to get Mitch out there and get him some reps with the first group,” East coach Mike Fields said. “It was a success for us in that regard. It was a positive thing for him, and I think we can build on that.

“And Jimmy had a great game. I don’t think Jimmy did anything wrong. He did a lot of positive things, but it’s always good to get your Second-stringers backup some reps under a get their chance little [game] pressure like With so many Week 4 that. So I think that was a blowouts, mass substitupositive for us, and that will tions were the norm for area teams, including at the help us down the road, I guarantee it.” quarterback position.

Batavia left-handed QB East senior Mitch Dupuis Evan Acosta played the made the most of his chance in the fourth quarter entire second half – albeit under a running clock Friday at Neuqua Valley,

– after Bulldogs starting QB Micah Coffey completed his final 12 passes in Batavia’s thrashing Saturday of host Streamwood.

Home cooking?

Geneva has a quirky statistic to start its season, owning a 2-0 road record and an 0-2 home mark through four weeks.

That’s a trend Geneva would love to change Friday, when Upstate Eight Conference River opponent St. Charles North comes calling.

Geneva’s home woes aren’t surprising considering the caliber of opponents – Wheaton North and Batavia – that visited Burgess Field in the early going.

The Vikings’ road wins came against Oswego and Larkin.

– Jay Schwab, jschwab@shawmedia.com

COACH SLY SEZ ...

Kudos to Reece Conroyd on his achievement of setting St. Charles North’s all-time tackles record, and also for his mature approach to the record.

Conroyd said after the game that all he cares about is making the playoffs, rarified air he’s yet to experience in a North Stars uniform.

Sly thinks Conroyd and Co. will probably get that chance before all is said and done this season, but his priorities are in the right place. Regardless, breaking North’s tackles record is a feather in Conroyd’s hat – er, helmet – that shouldn’t be overlooked.

• You can respond at kcchronicle.com/ blogs/sly.

What he did: Miller rushed 31 times for 207 yards to help push Geneva over the top in Friday’s backand-forth, 41-34 Upstate Eight Conference River win at Larkin.

Miller has rushed for 370 yards during the past two games, counting his Week 3 output in a loss to Batavia.

PHIL HOPPER St. Charles East, Sr., H-back What he did: Hopper caught 10 passes for 113 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the Saints’ UEC crossover loss Friday at Neuqua Valley.

WHAT WE LEARNED LAST WEEK ...

Tri-Cities area teams are quite capable of rolling the running clock.

Batavia (over Streamwood), Kaneland (over Streator) and St. Charles North (over Elgin) weren’t shy about putting major beat-downs on the opposition in a week that featured an unusual number of lopsided matchups.

WHAT WE’LL LEARN IN THE WEEK AHEAD ...

Whether St. Francis can bounce back from a humbling loss to Montini.

The Spartans gave a subpar performance in Friday’s 30-7 loss to Montini, falling for the first time this season. St. Francis will need to be much sharper to avoid a second straight loss this week with 4-0 Aurora Christian coming to town.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY KOVEL KOVELS.COM The first day of autumn this year is Sept. 22. It is the day of the autumnal equinox, a term based on the journey of Earth around the sun. On that day, day and night are each almost 12 hours long. It marks the days when air cools in the north and leaves on trees begin to change colors. Artists for centuries have pictured colorful fall landscapes.

Cameo glass artists often carved decorations from layers of glass made in the fall seasonal colors of orange and red. A Daum Nancy vase made in France between about 1895 and 1920 pictures a lake scene with birch trees. The rectangular vase auctioned last year for almost $4,000. *** Q: Please tell me the value of a Martha Washington sewing cabinet that belonged to my greatgrandmother in the 1880s. It has four long legs and three drawers in the front. There is a semicircular wooden storage compartment with a hinged lid on each side. And why is it named after George Washington’s wife?

A: Martha Washington (17311802) enjoyed knitting and used a similar type of sewing table, without drawers, at Mount Vernon.

The style you describe, along with its name, was not introduced until the 1920s. The First Lady’s name was used to market the style, which became especially popular during the Depression. In other words, your great-grandmother’s table is not as old as you think it is. But depending on its quality and condition, it could sell for about $200. ***

art ware and sanitary ware. Your pitcher, from a toilet set, is worth $25 to $50; if you had the matching wash bowl, the set would be worth about $125. The small dish is a soap dish worth $15. Wheeling’s flow blue pieces sell for more.

Q: When cleaning out a cupboard, I found an Old Plantation wooden cigar box about 7 1/2 inches long and 5 1/2 inches wide. The outside and inside labels picture plantation scenes. There’s a 1901 IRS stamp on it. Please tell me something about the box.

*** A: The value of old wooden cigar boxes varies considerably depending on condition. The Old Plantation brand name dates from around the turn of the 20th century.

Some Old Plantation boxes have impressed labels, while others have paper labels. A box with inside and outside paper labels in excellent condition recently auctioned for nearly $500. *** Q: In the summer of 1972, I was traveling in Europe and read that Paul McCartney and Wings were to appear at the Montreux Pavilion in Montreux, Switzerland. So off I went. The streets were lined with posters for the concert, so I pried one loose, and today it’s framed and hanging on a wall in my basement.

Any idea what it’s worth?

A: McCartney’s stop in Montreux was part of his new group’s “Wings over Europe” tour. Your poster, obviously an original, is not as valuable as an original Beatles poster. Still, it could sell for up to $70. *** Q: In 1950, on my 5th birthday, I was given an Empire toy stove. It was made by Metal Ware Corp. I still have the little stove and it is still working, 63 years later. If you could give me any information on it, I would appreciate it.

A: Metal Ware Corp. has been operating in Two Rivers, Wis., for more than 90 years. It has made

steam engines, driving accessories, popcorn poppers, roasters, hotdog warmers and other electric cooking appliances. In 1921 Metal Ware Corp. bought patent rights to the Empire toy line from Hughes Electric Co. of Chicago and began to make toy stoves. The stoves worked and would probably horrify today’s safetyconscious parents. Your 1940s toy stove sells today for $10 to $35, depending on condition. Older Empire stoves from the 1920s and 1930s sell for more. The company still makes and imports small electrical appliances. *** Q: I inherited a 12-inch white pitcher and small covered dish from my grandmother, who was born in 1880. The pieces are white with gold trim and are decorated with blue and yellow flowers. Inside the dish is a disc with a hole. The bottom of each piece is stamped “Wheeling Pottery Co.” inside a wreath. Can you tell me their value?

A: Wheeling Pottery Co. of Wheeling, W.Va., was in business from 1879 until about 1923. The firm went through a number of mergers and name changes during that time. It made decorative and utilitarian pottery, semi-porcelain,

Q: Fifty years ago, my uncle gave me an old adding machine in a wooden travel chest. It’s labeled “Brunsviga, No. 25102, Midget” on the front and “Patented in the U.S.A., 12 June 1906” on the back.

What is it worth today?

A: Your machine is a calculator made by Grimme, Natalis & Co. of Braunschweig, Germany. The serial number indicates it was made between 1910 and 1920. A 1913 ad calls it a “multiplying and dividing machine.” It also does addition and subtraction, but doesn’t print.

Calculations are done by drums that revolve in one direction for addition and multiplication and in the opposite direction for subtraction and division. This type of machine is known as a “pinwheel calculator.” It was invented in 1874

by Willgodt Odhner, who sold the patent to Grimme, Natalis & Co. in 1892. The company changed its name to Brunsviga in 1927. These calculators are hard to sell because

there are so few collectors of old calculators. Value: $100-$200. *** Tip: Green-colored corrosion is sometimes found on old costume jewelry. It will spread if not removed.

Clean with a mixture of a tablespoon of vinegar, a tablespoon of salt and a cup of hot water. Rub with an old toothbrush or a nylon scouring pad.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

– United Feature Syndicate

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Look at the big picture in the coming months. Consider what’s available to you and how you can reach your goals. Learn all you can and question anything that isn’t clear.

Precisely planned changes will lead you to a better place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Communication will be your ticket to information that can help you advance. Do your research, and you will avoid making a mistake. Don’t give in to pressure; you’ll need time to do things the right way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – It’s a good day to get in touch with an old friend. The memories you share will remind you of something that will help prevent you from making a financial mistake.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Express your thoughts and follow through with your plans. An emotional situation may deter you if you allow it to. Assess the situation, make adjustments and complete whatever you are doing regardless of opposition.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Protect your name and position. Listen to what others say, but don’t make alterations to your plan based on hearsay. Make your decisions based on facts as well as your gut feelings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Stick close to home and look over your property and papers.

Fixing up your place will make you feel good and give you a reason to entertain someone special.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Look over contracts, settlements or any personal information that can help you expand an interest or project. Leave time for romance late in the day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Use your intelligence and creative talent in the workplace today. Employing your skills diversely will create a stir. The interest you receive from someone with vision will pay off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Learn all you can.

The more information you have, the easier it will be to impress your peers. A calculated, rather than unpredictable, approach will give you a competitive edge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Emotions will escalate causing uncertainty. Don’t believe everything you hear. Go directly to the source and request verification. An unexpected turn of events will be beneficial.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Live a little. Get out and enjoy new interests or try developing a skill or talent that you find engaging.

Romance will develop if you make plans with someone special.

Miss America fights post-pageant racism with a beauty queen’s poise

By MAURA JUDKIS The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Nina Davuluri is halfway out the door of one of the dining rooms at Sequoia restaurant in Washington on Saturday when the applause begins. She has just finished lunch with members of the Upakar Foundation – an Indian American scholarship foundation, her first non-media appearance since taking the Miss America title on Sept. 15 – and since she’s not wearing her crown, it has taken this long for the rest of the room to catch on to who she is.

“Oh!” she says, laughing uncomfortably. “Thank you!”

“Pic?” asks a table of four twentysomething female brunchers, pantomiming a camera click. But there’s no time.

Davuluri is whisked out of the room and down the hallway, where she receives perhaps one of the most banal perks offered in her weird, wonderful job – premium restroom access.

“Normally, we send everybody upstairs, but you ladies are special,” a server at Sequoia says to Davuluri, 24, ushering her toward a handicapped bathroom. She is with Regina Hopper, a Washington area consultant and former Miss Arkansas who serves on the board of the Miss America Organization and who is working as Davuluri’s press coordinator this day.

“She’s not just Miss America, she’s Miss New York! That’s what I like,” says another server with a New Yawk accent, as Davuluri closes the door behind her.

When she emerges from the restroom, the first server is waiting with a cellphone camera ready, and she obliges him with a photo. Only then does she manage to exit the restaurant through a gaggle of teenage girls there for a beach-theme bat mitzvah and into a black SUV, for the four-minute drive to the Kennedy Center’s Utsav, an Indian performing arts festival.

She’d better get used to being whisked away from adoring crowds – Davuluri is on track to become one of the most popular Miss Americas in years. After years of stagnation and criticism for being sexist and hopelessly outdated, the Miss America pageant has people paying

On Sept. 15, Nina Davuluri was declared the first Indian American Miss America titleholder. attention to it once again.

“The office was telling me yesterday they can’t keep up with the calls,” Hopper says. “She has inspired more interest than any Miss America we’ve had in a long time.”

The allure of this pretty face comes from a rather ugly place. As soon as Davuluri was declared the first Indian American titleholder, a chorus of jerks on Twitter expressed their outrage that Miss America could be a “terrorist,” mistaking her to be of Middle Eastern origin and making clumsy leaps from there. There were also racist jokes about 7-Eleven convenience stores. As her job requires, Davuluri handled the onslaught with positivity and poise, and related it back to her platform, conveniently called “Celebrating Diversity Through Cultural Competency.” She’s also launched “Circles of Unity,” a social media campaign to promote multiculturalism and civil discourse.

“I’ve grown up with so many stereotypes about my culture, I just knew that it was something I needed to advocate for,” says Davuluri, who chose the platform three years ago as a Miss New York contender. “A lot of the remarks weren’t meant to be malicious, but just due to the fact of ignorance.”

And that’s why she’s still in the news, more than a week later. People who couldn’t care less about Miss America – who maybe didn’t even know that the

92-year-old pageant was still televised – may have found themselves tweeting to defend Davuluri’s honor.

Until Davuluri, generally the only time you heard about a pageant in the past decade was when one of the contestants said something stupid. But the ratings have revived, perhaps in part to our national enthusiasm for tweeting along with live TV. This year’s broadcast on ABC was the best showing since 2004, attracting 10 million viewers during its last half-hour, 18 percent more than last year.

Davuluri came seemingly out of nowhere – all the pre-pageant buzz was like an old-timey sideshow, devoted to the proudly tattooed Miss Kansas and the one-armed Miss Iowa – but she went on to charm the judges with her grace, and then America with her post-controversy graciousness. Best of all for the pageant, she’s an aspiring physician, a fact that bolsters the brains-before-beauty message that the organization likes to push.

“I was working on some [medical school] applications last night at 3 a.m.,” she says in the car.

The med school applications must be saved for ungodly hours of the night because Davuluri’s days are packed. She spent the past week doing media appearances – “Good Morning America,” CNN and, at her personal request, NPR – and meeting with former titleholders, such as the first African American Miss America, Vanessa Williams.

“I think I was so star-struck that I couldn’t process what was happening,” she says of the meeting. Williams also faced racism when she was crowned.

Her SUV pulls up by the entrance to the Hall of States. It’s time for another whisk-away. Miss America tour manager Karen Nocella says that Saturday, with only the luncheon, the Kennedy Center festival and some interviews, is a “light day.” On Sunday, Davuluri was to be headed to Los Angeles for the “Arsenio Hall Show.”

“The night I won, I repacked my suitcases, and that’s what I’ve been traveling with, and it’s been very surreal,” Davuluri says. “I haven’t had that moment yet of, ‘Wait, I’m Miss America.’ Maybe it will come soon.”

Parents are driving daughter out the door Dear Abby: I’m a 23-year-old woman who still lives at home.

I have been working for the last five years and have saved enough to live comfortably on my own. Unfortunately, my parents have forbidden me to do it because they think I’m being manipulated into it by my boyfriend, that I just want to “do whatever I want” and be out until late (although I’m rarely up past 9 p.m. and they know it), and because I “can’t stand them” anymore.

I have no privacy! My mail is opened “mistakenly” and my calls are listened in on even when I politely – and sometimes angrily – ask them not to. They have even imposed a rule that I must show them my bank balance weekly.

They have told me I will not leave the house without being married first. I would like to live on my own before I actually marry so I can experience what it’s like. How can I accommodate my parents without being disowned?

– Feeling Helpless In Illinois Dear Feeling Helpless: Your par-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ents have chosen to ignore that you are an adult, self-supporting and entitled to make your own choices. They may be well-meaning, but they are extremely heavy-handed. Their hyper-vigilance – opening your mail, eavesdropping on your phone calls and insisting on checking your bank balance weekly – is over the top. They would like you to be “safely” married before you leave their protection.

Is their problem that they disapprove of your boyfriend? If you get a place of your own, do you plan on moving him in? If that’s not the case, there is no reason why your living independently might shame or embarrass them.

Dear Abby: “Lights Out in Federal Way, Wash.” (Aug. 13) asked if it was a “sign” that her deceased parents were watching over her when streetlights would go out as she drove under

them on her way home.

I understand your desire to give encouragement to someone who has lost her loved ones, but don’t you know that many streetlights are light-activated so that after headlights hit them in just the right way they will turn off? After you pass under them, it becomes dark enough again and they will turn back on within a few minutes.

While I’m sure that given the opportunity this girl’s parents would watch over her, the streetlights she described have nothing to do with the paranormal but have a scientific and logical explanation. – Someone’s Watching In Guilford, Mo. Dear Watching: While many readers shared similar experiences, the majority had a logical explanation as you did.

However, I still feel that if what she’s experiencing brings her comfort, the important thing is what she chooses to believe.

Biofeedback can help relieve chronic pain, stress Dear Doctor K: You’ve mentioned biofeedback as a treatment option for several conditions, but I still don’t understand what it is.

Could you explain?

Dear Reader: Biofeedback is a technique that helps you monitor and control your body’s responses. By learning to control certain functions, you can improve your medical condition, relieve chronic pain, reduce stress, or improve your physical or mental performance.

During biofeedback training, a therapist attaches sensors to your body. The type and placement of sensors varies according to what is being measured. Sensors can detect changes in everything from your heart rate, skin temperature or muscle tension to your brainwave patterns.

The machine then translates its measurements into a form of immediate “feedback.” You might see the feedback as a blinking light, a beeping sound, a balloon or a graph. (I’ve put an illustration of what a biofeedback setup for urinary incontinence might look like on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Let’s say your goal is to reduce neck, shoulder and upper back pain. Biofeedback can help you

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff recognize when you tense the muscles in your back, neck, shoulders or head. It can help you relax them before you experience pain, or it can help you learn to relax muscles that are already in pain.

Or say you are learning to control your breathing when you are in pain. A balloon on the screen of the biofeedback machine may represent your breathing rate. You can learn to inflate and deflate the balloon at the target rate. As you gain control over the target body function, you’ll be weaned off the machine.

After each session, you’ll get an assignment to practice at home. Regular practice is essential to success.

Biofeedback is effective for certain types of urinary and fecal incontinence. It helps with anal pain related to excessive muscle contractions and constipation caused by problems with the muscles in the anus. It also helps people who suffer from Raynaud’s phenomenon, tension headaches and fibromyalgia.

We’re in the early stages of a technology related to biofeedback.

Body sensors, and the machine they talk to, are electronic devices. Like all electronics – from computers to smartphones – devices keep getting smaller and more powerful. Already there are sensors that attach to the skin and are so small you barely notice them. They send messages about your body through wireless signals to machines that interpret them.

Some experts predict that people with certain chronic illnesses will soon be constantly monitored, day and night. The illnesses include irregular heart rhythms and epilepsy, for example. The monitoring will spot early warning signs and collect information that affects treatment.

It may sound a little like Big Brother, but it could become a valuable aid in diagnosing and treating disease. When the evidence rolls in, we’ll know what type of constant monitoring has health benefits.

Mom has difficult time stopping son’s beer bash Dr. Wallace: My son and his three good friends are huge sports fans. Almost every Saturday and Sunday, they are glued to my 60-inch television set watching sports. Football, I think, is their favorite because they cheer or boo the loudest during football games, especially when the Chicago Bears are playing.

About a month ago, one of the boys brought over two six-packs of beer, and all four of them had three beers. Since I’m divorced, I decided that it was better that my son drinks in the house rather than somewhere else. But lately the boys have been drinking a lot more. After last Sunday’s Bears game, I counted 20 empty beer cans. That’s a lot of beer for four guys to drink in an afternoon.

I told my son that this “beer thing” has gotten out of hand, and I didn’t want any more beer drunk in our house. Of course, my son became upset and said that all of the guys are 18 and that if they were old enough to go to war, they were old enough to enjoy a beer or two (or three) relaxing and watching sports on the weekend.

The boys are all high school graduates and work for the same company that is owned by the father of one of the boys. What should I do?

The “no beer bash” is going to be hard to stop.

– Mom, Naperville Dear Mom: You’re right that this has gotten out of hand. If they’re going to take advantage of your hospitality – and your 60-inch TV – they are going to have to show you respect and obey your rules.

My advice is to lay down the law, in no uncertain terms. Explain to them that if one of them, after getting inebriated in your living room, gets

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace into an auto accident on the way home, you could be held responsible for the damages and even arrested for allowing underage teens to drink in your home with your consent.

You have to inform the boys that you no longer will allow them to drink beer at your house. My guess is that the lure of football on the big TV will be enough to get them to accept your hospitality on your terms.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and in the 11th grade. I am an A/B student and will attend college next year. I need money and have an opportunity to get a part-time job now waiting tables from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and four hours on Saturday. If I take this job, I can work there full-time all next summer.

My parents are not sure they want me to work part time because, like most parents, they think my grades will drop. But my grades won’t drop because of working. My grades are very important to me, and I would be the first to quit if I felt they were in jeopardy.

I’d like your opinion, please. If you agree with me, it would help in convincing my parents to say yes. – Lisa, San Bernardino, Calif.

Dear Lisa: I think that you should be given the opportunity to work part time if you can present a daily outline showing the times you will devote to study. The key to working part time and keeping your grades high is organization!

CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Tuesday, September 24, 2013

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Alexandre Dumas, the father, not his son, said, “All human wisdom is summed up in two words – wait and hope.”

At the bridge table, one wishes that all wisdom isn’t summed up in two words – play and hope.

Yes, you will often be hoping for the best, but ideally you find a 100 percent line of play or defense.

In a recent deal, declarer had two chances to make his contract. Today’s is similar. South is in six hearts. West leads the club queen. What are declarer’s two chances? How should he play to combine them?

North’s two-no-trump response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, guaranteeing at least fourcard heart support and game-going values. South’s three-spade rebid indicated a singleton (or void) in that suit. Then, after two control-bids (cue-bids), North made a very aggressive jump to slam.

If you bid the spots off the cards, you had better play them off, too – and get lucky.

South can see two possible losers: one diamond and one club. He has only 11 top tricks: one spade, six hearts, one diamond, two clubs and a spade ruff in South, the shorter trump hand. Declarer’s first thought is probably that the diamond finesse needs to work. But he might also find clubs 3-3. And that should be tried first.

South takes the first trick, draws trumps, and plays two more rounds of clubs. Here, they divide evenly and declarer can claim, stating that he will discard one of dummy’s diamonds on his last club. But if the clubs were not 3-3, the diamond finesse would still be available.
