Williams said the idea stemmed from the West Suburban Chamber of Commerce executives group, and she expects anywhere from 35 to 50 in attendance.

The event will feature a taco bar, sponsored by PRIDE Stores Inc. and Taco Urbano.

“These events are not just for chamber members – we encourage others to join us and see what the Batavia Chamber is all about,” Williams said. “Our target is really anyone who would like to expand their business reach and network with others in and outside of their industry.”

Water Street Studios is at 160 S. Water St. in Batavia.

LET ’EM FLY

Illinois Audubon walks give bird enthusiasts a reason to smile

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Gazing at Nelson Lake Marsh through her binoculars, it didn’t take bird enthusiast Gwyneth Johnsen long to find something to celebrate.

“A bald eagle!” she exclaimed. “And on my birthday.”

Johnsen, of Campton Hills, was one of several people who went on a threemile bird walk on April 2 at the Nelson Lake/Dick Young Forest Preserve in Batavia that was sponsored by Kane County Audubon, a chapter of Illinois Audubon. The chilly, blustery conditions didn’t faze her.

Kane County Audubon organizes monthly walks year-round.

“I come to the walks two or three times a year, but I also come here by myself and watch the birds,” Johnsen said. “It’s something that you can’t buy. You come here and you have no control over what you are going to see.

God says, ‘Gwyneth is going there for her birthday, I’ll send a bald eagle.’ ‘’ Bird watching also provides her the opportunity to get outdoors, which she loves.

“I’m a musician, and I like listening to the wind and I like experiencing the weather,” Johnsen said. “I even come here sometimes when it’s snowing in order to be outdoors in the big wide open with the snow.”

As she spoke, Johnsen recognized the distinctive sound of Canadian geese as they flew over her head.

Terry Murray of Aurora has been leading the Kane County Audubon walks for eight years. Every walk is different, he said. “[Seeing] rare birds is always exciting,” Murray said. “We expect to see common birds. It’s hard to predict what will happen.”

In addition, all the birds they see get counted as part of the Great Backyard Bird Count, which helps researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society learn more about how birds are doing, and how to protect them and their environment.

“Sometimes you will see really cool things,” LeCompte said. “You will see “We are all like citizen scientists,” an eagle going after a duck or a redtailed hawk going after a pheasant.”

Murray said.

And the group is spotting more eaDuring the walks, participants also will talk about the flowers and wildlife gles these days after they were almost wiped out because of the use of the pesthey see along the way.

“It’s not like we’re just looking at ticide D-D-T, which stunted their egg the sky,” he said. “It’s kind of a nature growth.

“Twenty years ago, you wouldn’t see an eagle hardly ever,” Murray said.

“Now on most walks, you will see an eagle.”

As she was talking, LeCompte spotted a pair of pelicans on the marsh.

“Look, they are flapping their wings,” she said to Murray.

Those going on the walks are advised to bring a good pair of binoculars. Brenda Nielsen of Batavia, was peering through her pair to see a variety of birds, including flickers and a bald eagle.

This was her first walk.

“I’ve always been interested in birds,” Nielsen said. “I have feeders at my house. I like to watch them. I’m trying to get a little more educated about them.”

BATAVIA – The Batavia Kiwanis Club gives back to the community, specifically children, throughout the year.

Now, it’s time to support the organization that supports the community’s youth.

The club’s 29th annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser will take place from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. April 21 at Riverview Banquets, 1117 N. Washington Ave., Batavia.

The all-you-can-eat dinner will include spaghetti, salad, bread and an ice cream dessert. It also will include a basket raffle and silent auction.

The Batavia Kiwanis group currently sponsors three youth clubs: the Key Club at Batavia High School, Builders Club at Rotolo Middle School and K-Kids club at Hoover Wood Elementary School, said Janene Albrecht, president of the Batavia Kiwanis Club.

But the goal is to have K-Kids clubs at all six Batavia elementary schools within the next five years, she said.

“All levels [of Kiwanis] help teach leadership while doing service, so we try to work closely with those kids doing projects together,” Albrecht said.

Proceeds from the dinner will help fulfill that goal, but they also will help fund scholarships and provide financial support for Key Club members who attend the annual Illinois-Eastern Iowa District Convention.

BHS fared well at the convention in March, earning three first-place awards and three third-place awards, Albrecht said.

Senior Haley Baumgartner, president of Key Club, also won an individual first-place award in the district’s oratorical contest.

The 18-year-old said Key Club has allowed her to pursue her passion of working with children. She currently mentors a young girl at Hoover Wood, and she said without the Kiwanians’ backing, such opportunities wouldn’t exist.

Chef cooks up fresh tacos in unusual setting – a gas station

By ERIC SCHELKOPF

Adrian Ion, corporate chef and head of operations for the restaurant division of Warrenville-based The PRIDE Stores, Inc., is the man behind Taco Urbano, which opened in November inside The PRIDE of BP at 200 N. Randall Road, Batavia.

eschelkopf@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Adrian Ion knows that most people walking into a gas station convenience store don’t expect to find guacamole made from scratch.

But Ion is trying to change people’s concepts about the food they will find at a gas station convenience store. Ion, corporate chef and head of operations for the restaurant division of Warrenville-based The PRIDE Stores Inc., is the man behind Taco Urbano, which opened in November inside The PRIDE of BP at 200 N. Randall Road.

“I created this concept just to provide something a little different in an unusual setting, meaning a gas station,” Ion said. “We are trying to change people’s perceptions about eating in a gas station. The hardest part is getting people to try it.”

Tiffany Ellis of Montgomery was willing to try it, and has been a regular customer at Taco Urbano since it first opened.

“I like it because they marinate the meat,” Ellis said as she dined on some steak tacos. “You can taste the spices in it.”

Montgomery resident Dominique Davis also is a fan.

Eric Schelkopf eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

“Their food is fresh and hot,” she said.

The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Those who walk into the restaurant should bring an empty stomach, as Taco Urbano tends to serve large portions.

“We know that when our customers come in, they’re hungry,” Ion said. “So we try to keep our portions fairly large, giving people more bang for their buck.”

Lunch is Taco Urbano’s busiest time of the day, and its steak burrito has proven to be a popular item.

Freshness is key to everything Taco Urbano does.

“I actually do all of the marinades and dressings at our commissary kitchen,” Ion said. “We don’t open jars and we don’t open cans. All of our meats are grilled throughout the day.

We are constantly grilling our pork, steak and chicken.”

Ion also came up with the concept for PRIDE’s Urban Counter restaurants, which sells burgers, hot dogs, salads and other items. PRIDE will soon open its first freestanding Urban

Counter restaurant. That restaurant will open in St. Charles.

The restaurant will open in a standalone building next to the BP gas station at 1505 Lincoln Highway, located at the corner of Bircher Road and Lincoln Highway. Ion said the restaurant should open in the next month or so.

Other Urban Counter restaurants are in Wheaton, Aurora, Hinsdale and Chicago, Ion said.

The Taco Urbano concept also is expanding. A second Taco Urbano restaurant is set to open in the summer next to The PRIDE of Villa Park at 151 W. North Ave., Villa Park. That restaurant will have a drive-through, he said.

Ion said he could see the Taco Urbano concept expanding.

“We could easily open a few more locations,” he said

But Gov. Bruce Rauner was there to talk about the favorite parts of his job and what events in his life led him to run for the position of governor a few years ago.

The Humke Group Helping people understand and invest their money since 1977

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

Older adults, in particular, should take note if their central vision becomes blurry, hazy, or crooked. These are symptoms of “age-related macular degeneration” (AMD), which is the leading cause of legal blindness among seniors.

It is important to diagnose AMD in its early stages to prevent severe vision loss. This eye condition, which involves deterioration of the central portion of the retina (called the “macula”), takes two forms: “Dry” AMD is caused by the formation of waste products (“drusen”) underneath the retina that cause atrophy. The more serious “wet” AMD involves the formation of leaky abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina. Typically, AMD progresses from the dry to the wet form, but some patients present with wet AMD initially.

P.S. While anyone may develop either dry or wet AMD after about age 50, the average onset of wet AMD usually occurs in a person’s late 70s to early 80s.

Yellow-bellied sapsuckers leave a distinctive sign; rows of shallow holes in tree bark. The birds consume the dripping sap, as well as insects that are drawn to it.

ton’s masterful description, these birds’ bellies were streaked and cream-colored, not overtly yellow. And they weren’t “suckin’ sap” – they were eating insects. So I had to look at other characteristics to help make the ID. Downy and hairy woodpeckers, two of our more common year-round species, have black and white coloration similar to the sapsuckers’, but sapsuckers have a distinctive white stripe along the length of their folded wings.

In addition, while male downies and hairies have a dash of red across the backs of their heads, sapsuckers have more red, and in more places.

Using binoculars, I was able to

see that one bird – the male – had red across the top of his head, an area called the crown, as well as a red patch on his throat. The female had a similar red cap but lacked the throat patch. Also, as is fitting of birds that “suck sap” for a living, both sexes sport a “bib”—a patch of dark feathers beneath their throats.

In the past when I’ve seen yellow-bellied sapsuckers in our area, I was able to go to the trees they’d visited and find their telltale marks: horizontal rows of shallow holes dripping watery sap. But these birds left no such sign. They seemed focused on the bark of the maples, oaks and hickories they visited, perhaps gleaning insects, spiders and other creepy crawlies from among the crevices.

They also seemed focused on each other. When one flew, the other followed, almost as if their movements

had been choreographed.

Usually such behavior means courtship, and maybe that was the case here. But yellow-bellied sapsuckers don’t breed in our area; they prefer forests to the west and north, with a range that extends through northern Canada and into Alaska.

I don’t know how long our local sapsuckers will stay, so be sure to remain extra vigilant this week if you want to try and spot one. When you see a woodpecker, look carefully at its coloring. And remember, it doesn’t have to have a yellow belly, or be suckin’ sap, to be a yellow-bellied sapsucker.

Springtime means – finally – warmer temperatures along with visits from a host of migrating birds, including yellow-bellied sapsuckers. Please enjoy this column, which first ran in April 2010.

My dad was a big fan of the 1950s sitcom “The Honeymooners.” (So big a fan, in fact, that when he began seeing my mom, he made it clear that their Saturday night dates wouldn’t begin until after the show was over.) It follows then that, by association – and maybe genetics – I too am a big “Honeymooners” fan.

Every episode was a classic. With plot lines involving the Raccoon Lodge, Chef of the Future, Kram-Mar’s Delicious Mystery Appetizer and Captain Video, how could you go wrong?

I could go on and on, but – lucky for you – just one scene in particular is on my mind at the moment. It’s the one where Ed Norton (“Norton!”) is telling his buddy Ralph Kramden about his birdwatching adventures. He mentions that he’d seen a yellow-bellied sapsucker in Central Park. Doubtful, Ralph asks Norton how he knew what it was, and Norton replies, “Cuz it had a yellow belly. And it was suckin’ sap!”

With that said – guess what kind of bird flew into town this week?

Sitting at my desk last Saturday at the Pottawatomie Community Center, I was looking out the window when I noticed a pair of very active birds hopping up the side of a Kentucky coffee tree.

The first thought to enter my head was the basic ID, “Woodpeckers.” Then, slowly, a second thought bubbled up: “Those aren’t just any woodpeckers. Those are sapsuckers!”

Could it be? Sure, yellow-bellied sapsuckers – members of the Picidae, or woodpecker family – are seen in our area as they migrate through. But it had been probably three years since I’d seen one. Nonetheless, there they were, a male and a female, flitting around Pottawatomie’s Native Plant Garden.

Despite their name, and Ed Nor-

Owner brings love of fashion and hair to new Geneva store

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Noodles and Co., Potbelly Sandwich Shop and ATI Physical Therapy are planned for the former TGI Fridays building, 3875 E. Main St., St. Charles.

Construction underway at old Fridays

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Efforts to turn a former restaurant into three separate spaces are underway on St. Charles’ east side.

Noodles and Co., Potbelly Sandwich Shop and ATI Physical Therapy plan to occupy the former TGI Fridays, which closed at 3875 E. Main St. in 2014 after nearly 12 years in business.

“It’s definitely nice to see a vacant space get repurposed and have national-name tenants in there, for sure,” said Matt O’Rourke, the city’s economic development division manager.

O’Rourke said he understands that the activity on the property is piquing the public’s interest.

According to city documents, the Glazier Corp. planned to replace windows with new door entrances, install fabric awnings, repair sidewalks and create an outdoor dining area.

“We look forward to providing a redevelopment that will have a positive impact on the community,” a project description from the Glazier Corporation states.

The work being done now addresses the building’s shell and involves splitting up one restaurant into multiple spaces, which includes an addition

for the third tenant on the building’s east side, O’Rourke said. He said a drive-thru is planned on that end.

Buildouts for each of the tenants will come later, he said.

Founded in 1995, Noodles and Company has more than 450 restaurants nationwide, including a store in Geneva. Its menu includes noodle dishes, sandwiches, soups and salads.

Potbelly is headquartered in Chicago, where it was founded in 1977. It has more than 300 shops, which serve madeto-order sandwiches served warm.

ATI Physical Therapy began in 1996 with a clinic in Willowbrook, and offers a variety of therapy services.

GENEVA – St. Charles resident Maria Kanakaris worked as a hairdresser for years, but she also wanted to own a retail store featuring stylish, chic clothing.

And now she and her partner, David Cane, also of St. Charles, have realized that dream, opening the Ivy Love Boutique, 123 W. State St., Geneva.

“It’s a men’s and w o m e n ’ s b o u t i q u e , ” Maria Kanakaris said. “Our Kanakaris clothing … is edgy and trendy. Our ages run from 20 up to 70.

We carry the latest brands, the hottest brands. We are not a bridal shop, not a consignment store.”

The store features clothing labels such as AG, Level99, Hudson, DL1961 and Buffalo, she said. Also available are shoes and accessories such as hats, purses, bags and hats.

“We try to make it where it’s convenient for moms,” she said. “Instead of going to the mall, they can find a lot of things here.”

Kanakaris said she still does hair in the Ivy Love Hair Boutique at the back of the store.

“I love hair and I love fashion,” Kanakaris said. “And I love dressing friends up and family. I just have the eye for it. … It’s like a one-stop-shop.

They get their hair done, get a cute top and off they go.”

The store has been open since Jan. 4, Kanakaris said. For information, call 630-208-1040 or find on Facebook.

After years of managing restaurant, Elburn man to open eatery

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com Denny Pitts calls Elburn home.

Soon, he’ll return to working in the village, too.

Pitts, who once managed the original Rosati’s location in Elburn, now plans to open his own restaurant, Ambrogi Pizza and Grill, in the village.

The restaurant, which will feature pizza, pasta, burgers, salads, sandwich-

es, lunch and dinner specials, will be located in the old Munchie P’s building on Main Street in Elburn.

Pitts said he wants to make the restaurant a nice place where people will feel comfortable bringing their children for a meal, where it’s a good spot for lunch, as well as a place to get take-out.

His lunch specials will include a slice of pizza and pop, and dinner will include meals such as ribs, coun-

try fried chicken and jumbo breaded shrimp, and several desserts. He also plans to feature a kids menu.

Pitts’ restaurant experience began when he was 14 years old, working for Ray Orlando’s Pizza in Geneva. After working for Rosati’s owners Jim Passo and Gino Caputi in Elburn, he followed them when they opened Pizza Cucina in Wasco. He also worked for Rosati’s in Arizona for a time, where he would stay two to three months at each restaurant,

training the owners and staff who were opening a Rosati’s Pizza.

Pitts was managing a Rosati’s in Hanover Park when he decided to try his hand at owning a restaurant. He is currently working on his menu and signage, as well as figuring out seating arrangements. He hopes to be open for business within the month.

“I’m going to try my hardest,” he said. “I want to get everybody to try me and see what happens.”

One of the young leaders of the Storm’s baseball team, Cameron is a very good defender and can play multiple spots in the infield. His best game came when he pulled a ground ball to the left side of the infield that scored the winning run in South Elgin’s 4-3 comeback win over Hampshire.

Congratulations, Becca!

Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, April 14, 2016

Karl “Kully” Madsen was born to Christian Knudsen and Mary Otilia Madsen (nee Hendrickson) on August 12, 1921. He died at Delnor Hospital on April 8th.

Following graduation from St. Charles High School, Kully served in Europe in the Army Air Force during World War II as a B-17 waist gunner in the 368th Bomb Squadron. Staff Sergeant Madsen flew the last of his 35 missions on his 23rd birthday, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, and was honorably discharged.

He returned to civilian life working with his dad in the family business, Madsen Dairy, delivering milk seven days a week.

It was at this time that he married Edith Dombrowski, who grew up next to the dairy in downtown St. Charles.

While at the dairy Kully joined the volunteer fire department in 1954. In 1959 he sold the dairy and became a full-time fireman.

While on duty one night in December of 1962, Kully, working alone at the station, responded to a report of someone struggling in the icy river above the dam.

A non-swimmer, Kully used a ladder to distribute his weight and inched out onto the ice for the rescue. The City awarded him a watch for his heroism.

In 1965 Kully won appointment as the city’s second full-time fire chief. Under his watch, the department established a model Fire Prevention Bureau, was the first department in the area to adopt the Opticom emergency vehicle traffic control system, and, for visibility reasons, painted the fire fleet lime-yellow.

Kully was instrumental in the formation of Tri-Com, the 911 dispatch center for the Tri-Cities. The Tri-Com facility is located in St. Charles on Karl Madsen Drive. After seventeen years as chief, he retired in 1982.

Kully was a member of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He also served as a St. Charles Township trustee.

In retirement, Kully enjoyed family trips to Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. He was a long-time season ticket holder for the Chicago Bears, and life-long White Sox fan.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 71 years, Edith; son ,Chris (Carla Jaffe); and daughter, Connie (Bill) Dallmann.

As Kully wished, there will be no ser-

vices.

To leave an online condolence for the family, visit the funeral homes obituary page at www.yursfuneralhomes.com.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice, or, in his memory, to the St. Charles Fire Department.

Third phase of Mooseheart’s school renovation project nears completion KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com MOOSEHEART – Some long-awaited additions were unveiled at Mooseheart last week.

When students returned from spring break, a new school entrance and a new classroom for the school’s Naval Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps were ready to use. Once bleachers are installed later this month, a new gymnasium and auditorium space also will be ready to use.

These areas of the addition, along with offices, storage space, locker rooms, an air rifle range, restrooms and a concession area comprise the final pieces to Mooseheart’s three-phase, $11.4 million school renovation project.

“This has been something that has been long anticipated by everyone. To have those doors open and to have people walk through them is a great tribute to the gift our Fraternity has given us with the School Renovation ProjPhoto provided ect,” Mooseheart Executive Director Mooseheart senior Luis Miranda enters the school building using the new entrance that Gary Urwiler said in a press release.

The project began in 2013 to coinis part of an addition that includes a classroom, an air rifle range, locker rooms, rest cide with Mooseheart’s centennial. rooms and a new gymnasium/auditorium.

In the first phase, all windows were replaced in the school, an air conditioning system and an elevator were installed and numerous infrastructure improvements were made. The second phase involved technological upgrades for the entire campus, including high speed wireless Internet connectivity, new computers for the students’ on-campus homes and in-school computer labs, and a series of upgrades for the individual classrooms.

The final phase involved an addition to the school. The project, funded by the Moose Fraternity, was paid for in January.

“We have benefited from the kindness and generosity of the Fraternity, which gave us something on our 100th anniversary that would have an impact on all our children. The three phases of the project have allowed the learning climate of the school to take on a new look and feel, and I think our students are definitely excited about this last phase coming to completion,” Urwiler said.

The NJROTC program began using the classroom April 4, with students finding their way to the new area of the school in time for instruction.

KOVELS: ANTIQUES AND COLLECTING

BY TERRY AND KIM KOVEL KOVELS.COM Fabrics were expensive in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Recycling was important and every scrap of fabric left from a sewing project was saved to make a quilt or even a “coat of many colors.” But not many thrifty housewives saved the cloth bands that held bundles of cigars to use for a sewing project. Someone made a cigar silks smoking jacket in the 1880s style. The cutaway jacket had hundreds of silk cigar bands, imprinted with a brand name, that were feather-stitched in black thread.

The shawl collar, cuffs, pocket flaps and lining were made of black silk cloth. Brand names like Old Poet, Harvard, Boston Bar, Press Club, Bachelors and Flying Dude could be read by those admiring the jacket. It sold at a February 2016 Thomaston Place auction for $1,755. *** Q: What is a “dog kennel dresser?”

A: The “dog kennel dresser” started as a type of Welsh cupboard. In Wales a large dresser that displayed and stored plates, pewter and utensils in racks was in style in the 18th century. The lower section was made of drawers and cupboards. These were kept below the stairs for storage in mansions, but in farmhouses, they were used in the living room. The dresser was a large, valuable piece of furniture. By the 1850s, a new look gained favor. The lower part of the dresser was made with cupboards on each side and an open space in the middle. The space probably got the name “dog kennel” because a dog could crawl in to sleep. Often, a large tureen or pot was stored in the space. By the 1890s, it was sometimes used to store a sewing machine. The Welsh dresser is still popular, and copies have been made since 1915 that could be mistaken for antiques. *** Q: I inherited some original Coca-Cola glasses that came from a drugstore I went to as a child. I have 15 small glasses. Only five still have the etchings intact, which read “Drink Coca-Cola 5 cents.” The writing has worn off the others. I also have seven of the larger glasses, but they never had any writing on them. I just want to know if they have any value besides the warm memories they hold.

A: Vintage Coca-Cola glasses sell for about $4 each in excellent condition, including all of the writing. There also are many reproductions available today for about $2, even some of the earlier type glass that came in a metal

Enjoy your glasses and childhood memories. That is why many collectibles are saved. *** Q: Were Hummel figurines ever made in Japan? I thought they were all made in Germany by the Goebel factory.

A: Hummel figurines, based on the drawings of Berta Hummel, were first made in 1935 by the W. Goebel Porcelain factory in Germany. They became very popular and were a major collectible for many years. When World War II ended, exported merchandise had to be marked “Occupied Japan.” This was required from 1947 to 1952, when there still were American troops occupying Japan.

Ceramics were a major Japanese export, and they copied many best-selling pieces made in Germany, England, the United States and other countries. Many copies of Hummel figurines were made and marked “Occupied Japan.” Prices for German Hummel figurines have dropped since 2008. But Japanese figurines were always less expensive and, because there are Occupied Japan collectors who want them, they have remained about the same price as before. Real Hummels were made by Goebel until 2008 when several other German factories got the rights to the Hummels. *** Q: I have a Pan American Airways flight bag from a 1955 flight into Cuba, along with a tourist pass stamped 1955. I would like to know if it’s worth anything. And would an airline collector be interested in this?

A: On Oct. 28, 1927, a small plane lifted off a dirt runway in Key West, Florida, and headed for Havana, Cuba. It was made by a fledgling company called Pan American Airways and was the first scheduled international flight of a U.S. airline. The airline was started by Juan Trippe along with other financiers as a mail carrier, having obtained the contract for U.S. mail delivery to Cuba. U.S. Diplomatic relations with Cuba were broken off in 1960, and commercial flights were suspended between the U.S. and Cuba after the 1962 missile crisis. Pan Am ceased operations completely in 1991, but Pan Am collectibles live on. Everything from Pan Am aircraft models, posters and timetables to safety cards, soap and air-sickness bags are sought after, as well as 35 different flight bags. Vintage canvas Pan Am flight bags sell to collectors for $35 to $50, depending on condition. Add the 1955 Cuban tourist pass, and the value increases to about $75. *** Q: I bought five bowls that I think are very old. They

“Be careful what you ask for…”

There I was, living in my own home in Creston, IL and managing just fine. I had my good friends, my loving family and a home I enjoyed. Then it happened. One day you wake up and you think to yourself, “Hey. I’m not as young as I used to be.”

It kind of sneaks up on you and before you know it you start considering what the options might be as you face those big Charlotte Berg retirement decisions. My children live out of state and I knew that I wanted to stay near my friends, church and my community activities so my search began. I already had some dear friends living at Oak Crest and after visiting decided that the on-site availability of health care, location and surroundings were the perfect fit for me. Now, I was faced with the dilemma of making the decision to actually move.

So, I called up Oak Crest with some pretty specific requests. I wanted an apartment on third floor, looking north, near my cousin. Feeling pretty confident that my requests would not be easily filled, I sat back and relaxed. Imagine my surprise when mere weeks later I received a call telling me that my every wish was granted. I moved in and have to tell you I couldn’t be happier. I enjoy my apartment; I love my neighbors and I can participate in any number of events and activities throughout the day. As my Oak Crest neighbors and I say, “Be careful what you wish for at Oak Crest, because they just might come true.”

Charlotte Berg, Resident since September 2013

Remembering the weekly edition When the Kane County Chronicle announced the change to weekly publication, my mind was flooded with memories of another time when the weekly edition was eagerly anticipated.

Picture a mini-me, not yet the ripe age to go to school, at grandma Grace Arteberry’s house. Together, we explored story books and magazines, making things from grandpa Jim’s victory garden taste so good and watching her preserve the tomatoes into Mason jars and turning the grapes from the arbor into jam.

It was still war time, and families were trying to use their ration coupons carefully. Grandpa Jim kept the carefully polished Buick in the garage.

Occasional road trips were to Wheaton for popcorn and down to the park to watch the men’s softball league. The best part was the necessary stop at the Colonial dairy store for ice cream.

Grandma and I made the road trip on foot to go shopping in St. Charles. Their neighborhood was on East Main Street, beyond the train track for the Great Western Railroad.

Freight trains and passenger trains were a delight to watch.

Up the street was the Cunningham’s service station, and across the street was a Mobil station and The Alps, run by Mama Galkis, and the so-called industrial district composed of Roto-Color, U.S. Printing and Reasor MFG (my father and Irv Krieger worked there).

I was reminded by Albert Van Thournout that just down the hill behind the Mobil station, next to the train tracks, was what everyone

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry called “the milk factory.”

Each day, farmers would bring the full milk cans to the conveyor belt and wait on the other side for the empty cans. Coming to town was a treat for farm boys who would count on a treat, such as an ice cream cone.

Downtown shopping was full of choices, I recall. Need shoes? Mack Brothers. Colson’s was the go-to store for women’s accessories. Grandma knew that nylon stockings were rarely available (nylon was needed for the war effort). The style in those days featured a black seam up the rear side (and an endless effort to keep the seam straight).

Grandma chose to buy her groceries at Haskin and DeBates. Right next door was Anderson’s, and Koch’s across the street. “Super markets,” such as A&P, Kroger’s and National Tea, were on the horizon, but most folks went – out of loyalty – to Tony’s Market (favored by Steve and Selma Sharkin, my mother’s parents, who liked to chat with their Lithuanian friends, Tony and Helen Brazonis, and friendly butchers who produced just what they wanted).

Then they stopped at the Blue Goose for produce. Bakery? So many choices: Gartner’s, “that Swedish bakery”; and Kramford’s, grandma’s choice for raisin bread. I generally strayed to the other side of the store, where there were hobby items, such as model airplanes.

Back to grandma Arteberry’s

house. Each day had a chore, such as Monday – wash day. At the same time, there might be a special meal, such as the Friday fish fry. Wednesday was Chronicle day! Grandma’s strong will prevailed, and she got first chance. She always turned to “Table Clatter,” a column about local ladies and their social lives, written by her friend Lina Paschal (her family owned the paper at that time).

There was plenty to read about, despite the frugality of the war. Folks not only had obituaries but birth notices. Women’s groups, including church women, reported their activities and a special note about the tea – white gloves and dainty pastries and a record of who was honored to pour the tea.

Bowling leagues were publicized, along with the weekly scores.

St. Charles North graduate named Bronze Scholar KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

ELGIN – St. Charles North alumnus David Friedman is among 50 students named a 2016 Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Bronze Scholar, according to a news release.

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation sponsors the Coca-Cola Community College Academic Team Program by recognizing 50 Gold, 50 Silver and 50 Bronze scholars, and by providing nearly David $200,000 in scholarships Friedman annually. Each Bronze Scholar receives a $1,000 scholarship and a special medallion.

Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society administers the program.

Friedman, who is following the design engineer career path, has been an active member in Elgin Community College’s Rho Kappa Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society, the release states.

Amybeth Maurer, the director of orientation and student life at ECC, described Friedman as a “true intellect,” which is why he was nominated.

“He has the ability to make connections between classroom concepts and apply them to everyday life,” she stated in the release. “He encourages deep discussion and dialogue among members of Phi Theta Kappa, and inspires others to strive for academic excellence.”

According to the release, Friedman was to be recognized at Phi Theta Kappa’s convention last week in Maryland.

His selection as a Coca-Cola Bronze Scholar was based on scores he earned in the All-USA Community College Academic Team competition, the release states. It indicated more than 1,900 applications were received this year.

Judges consider outstanding academic rigor, grade point average, academic and leadership awards, and engagement in college and community service when selecting members of the academic team, according to the release.

Another ECC student, Sarah Blanchard, was also nominated for the honor.

“I’m so proud to see both Sarah and David recognized for their dedication to their studies as well as to Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society,” Maurer stated in the release.

OUR VIEW

Cougars baseball is back This week’s forecast surely brought a smile to anyone seeking an escape to the outdoors.

Mercury readings in the 60s and above in mid-April? Make no mistake, that’s spring weather like it oughta be, even in these parts.

Still, a sizable segment of people ventured out even in the cold, damp conditions of the past week. These people are called Kane County Cougars fans, and one of them, Gretl Kramer of Elgin, came armed to the April 7 season opener with three rationalistic words: “It’s baseball, right?”

Indeed, it is. To be exact, this is the beginning of the 26th season of Class-A, Midwest League baseball in Geneva, and the second season of the Cougars’ two-year player-development contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

There are 70 regular season home games scheduled, and while the Cougars can’t guarantee seasonable temperatures every time out, they are committed to providing “Major League fun.” That’s the tagline on the team’s pocket schedules, which can be found at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark and at various locations around the Tri-Cities and Fox Valley.

After spending this weekend in the Quad Cities, the Cougars are set to return home for a seven-game homestand beginning on April 18. The stretch includes the first Saturday and Sunday games of the season.

The first fireworks night is set for May 2 – a rite of passage of sorts for each season. But the Cougars’ brand of family-friendly, affordable entertainment will have been in session for nearly a month by then.

Take it from Kramer. The crack of the bat supersedes the sound of chattering teeth.

Baseball is back. Take advantage.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Yearning for youth despite perks of growing up Over spring break a few weeks ago, I spent a fair amount of time looking through the family photo albums that take up residence in my room. The pictures in these huge albums span all the way from my mom’s college years to circa 2008, when our digital camera became the primary method of capturing photographs. Many happy hours were spent cuddled up in my bed, going through hundreds of pictures and reliving memories from my childhood.

While some pictures may have been slightly more embarrassing than others (for instance, baby Emma putting her toes in her mouth), most of them brought back recollections of joy and contentment from when I was little. Images of awestruck 4-year-old me meeting Cinderella at Disney World, excited 8-year-old me holding my new baby sister and many more brought feelings of nostalgia for when I was younger.

There’s this strange phenomenon called “growing up,” and I’m not sure if I’m entirely a fan. This bizarre occurrence is characterized by increased levels of homework, decreased levels of sleep and – worst of all – the disappearance of recess and snack time from the school day.

Symptoms of those afflicted may con-

THE WRITE PLACE Emma Chrusciel sist of constant fatigue, being overscheduled with school and activities and frequent complaints of longing to be a kid again.

Perhaps I’ve exaggerated a little bit, but not by much. I often find myself wishing I could go back to my childhood, just so that I could appreciate everything I took for granted and experience the days of being carefree and innocent once more.

Let’s face it: When we were little, we probably didn’t realize how good we had it. My average day in elementary school usually consisted of watching TV in the morning, going to a relatively simple day of school, coming home to an after-school snack and playtime, then dinner and a bath before bed. Compared to nowadays, elementary-school Emma was living the good life! Homework and grades were barely a thought; it seemed like everyone in class was my best friend; and I usually got a full night of sleep.

That’s not to say that being a high school sophomore doesn’t have its perks! Being able to drive, participate

in a variety of school activities and have greater responsibilities are all wonderful parts of getting older, and there’s still more to look forward to in the years ahead. But when I’m bogged down with homework, dealing with high school drama and staying up way too late studying, there’s a part of me that longs for the simplicity of my childhood.

As you’re probably aware, you can’t just hit the pause button on “growing up.” It’s going to happen whether I like it or not, and I’m going to have to adapt to the upcoming changes as part of my later teen and early adult years. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing though. And even though little Emma may quite literally be a thing of the past, I know all the greatest parts of her will be carried with me into the future. As for right now, I’m doing my best to bloom where I’m planted, hopefully creating new memories (and taking new pictures!) for me to reflect on later.

For Ted Cruz it’s underhanded

So, Trump lost the election in Wisconsin to Ted Cruz, but did Ted Cruz really win? Or did the PACs win? I believe that the PACs have won, and Ted Cruz is nothing but a shield for the PACs, because we know he can’t win the election. And all of the Donald Trump naysayers want to “dump Trump” and go to a contested election, and the only way to do that is to ensure that Ted Cruz wins. But Ted Cruz has been in the Senate how many years? He has not done a darn thing. Neither has Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton’s been in Washington a whole lot longer than a lot of them. Don’t forget she was a Mrs. President – she was a wife of a president, and then she was secretary of state; she was a senator. What has she done? They say they’re gonna do all

I’m calling to say I’m wondering why we’re even voting in primaries as citizens.

[A] White House aide said there’s no way that Hillary Clinton isn’t going to be the delegate, isn’t going to be the nominee for president, even though I think there’s at least a third of the states to be voted in. And the Republicans are working very hard to keep Trump from being the nominee, although he has the most number of votes. So, why are we voting in primaries if the PACs and the political insiders are gonna decide who the presidential nominees are gonna be over the will of the voters and the citizens in America? I think there needs to be a revolution about the whole process about tax, about corporate greed and about the parties that ... just don’t even care about the citizens. They only care about their own party power.

THAT PERFECT FEELING In first nine games, Saints have allowed no goals, scored 39

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – Perfection.

It’s a word that’s often hard to define when it comes to sports. Sure, a record with no losses can describe a perfect season pretty well, but coaches usually always find areas where a team can improve.

St. Charles East girls soccer coach Paul Jennison finds himself dealing with the issue of trying to find a problem. He doesn’t necessarily like to use the word “perfect” to describe the Saints’ season thus far, but it would be hard to find another word.

After a 3-0 win over Geneva on April 9 that secured a St. Charles East Augsburg-Drach Invite title, East improved to a perfect 9-0. But what’s been even more staggering is that the Saints have scored 39 goals in those nine games and have yet to see a ball cross their own goal line this season.

“It’s really just buying into the team mentality,” Jennison said. “We defend from the front, and the girls at the back have really been quality for us, with our goalkeeper [Alison Chesterfield] being really outstanding for us as well.

You hope they aren’t under too much pressure during the game, but they are really just getting collective as a unit and it’s trusting the girls around them.

It’s obviously a great way to start the season and looks great on paper, but it’s not something we work towards every time we step out there.”

That trust factor seems to be extremely vital for a Saints group that has put together a fairly new back line after losing several seniors from a team that allowed just two goals in its first 11 games last season.

One returner from that team, senior captain and outside defender Julia Peterson, has been critical in helping newcomers such as sophomore center back Hayley Popiel or juniors Victoria Schumann and Allison Strauss get adjusted to the varsity level after being thrust into much larger roles this season.

With Peterson and Chesterfield, a senior, returning for the Saints, Popiel said the variety of youth and experience has made the transition to this level much easier.

“I was super nervous coming in with it being my first time starting,”

Jeff Krage - For Shaw Media

St. Charles East sophomore defender Hayley Popiel now is a back line force in her first varsity season.

Popiel said. “I wasn’t sure how it would go in the beginning, but having girls like Gator [Chesterfield] behind us and [Shannon Gatehouse] playing right in front of us in the midfield, they’re all constantly talking to us and making sure we’re in the right spots and are always communicating. I thought we’d eventually build up to this, but I’m

proud that it’s happened right away.”

The trust doesn’t just need to happen between the girls on the field but also with the coach. Usually when a player is on the field for East, it means Jennison has full trust in her abilities.

The victory was the team’s fifth straight to end the season and gave the Steel a 27-26-4-3 record for 61 points in 60 games.

Goaltender Daniel Vladar, a thirdround selection of the Boston Bruins in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, made 23 saves to earn the victory.

The Steel opened a busy final weekend of 2015-16 with a 5-1 home victory against the Muskegon (Mich.) Lumberjacks. The game was Teacher Appreciation Night, which featured the Steel making a $500 donation for the Geneva Academic Foundation to be used toward a collegiate scholarship for a Geneva High School senior.

Continued from page 2 Jennison has embraced a refrain about his players he used when describing Chantel Carranza’s play as a freshman in 2015.

“If you’re good enough, you’re old enough,” Jennison said. “These girls have simply embraced each other. It’s something they said was important to them at the beginning of the year and wanted to make it special. It’s certainly a special group of girls and there’s a long, long way to go, but we’re trying to enjoy each day.”

Chesterfield had a slight smile when asked what she’s seen in front of her all season that on some nights makes her job extremely easy.

“It’s just clicked from day one,” Chesterfield said. “We just did. I don’t know why. We have been so consistent back there, and it’s allowed [us] to have a great start. It’s honestly just become second nature now.”

There was some elation as players posed for team pictures after the Geneva victory that added another piece of hardware for the East girls soccer program, but as Jennison said, there is certainly a long way to go. The Saints don’t have much time to celebrate the victory with road contests against two of its toughest opponents in Naperville North on April 14 and rival St. Charles North on April 19.

Does he expect them to keep this up over the course of an entire season?

Probably not. Even the program’s state champion girls soccer teams allowed a goal here and there.

Either way, the 2016 Saints figure Jeff Krage - For Shaw Media to continue to see their confidence St. Charles East senior defender Julia Peterson has been one of the leaders of a Saints defense that blends veteran leadership with grow every time they put up another zero. newcomers’ energy.

Sean King - For Shaw Media​

Kane County Cougars mascot Ozzie T. Cougar signs a baseball hat for Josh Frieders, 8, of Geneva during Opening Day at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva on April 7.

The Kane County Cougars opened their 26th season of Class A baseball in Geneva on April 7 as a crowd of 3,581 gathered to watch the team’s 2-1 loss to the Clinton (Iowa) LumberKings.

The game-time temperature was 40 degrees with persistent winds of 15 mph, but that cold, hard fact hardly deterred a group that was elated to see baseball back in town.

New-look mascot Ozzie T. Cougar and in-game emcee Sam Ostrowski were among those to greet them.

Six-tenths of a mile down Kirk Road, the Cougars’ new neighbors, the United States Hockey League’s Chicago Steel, closed their first season at Fox Valley Ice Arena this past weekend. The Steel relocated from Bensenville in August 2015 and completed the season with a 27-264-3 record for 61 points in 60 games.

Eager to continue building the club’s brand in the market, Steel President Dan Lehv said synergy opportunities are in the works with the Cougars, who extended an early welcome to the Steel. The Steel reciprocated, most recently April 8, when the team awarded free admission to any Cougars fan showing a ticket to that day’s baseball game that was postponed because of inclement weather.

An adjustment that sounds like an oxymoron is a new offensive dimension for Lauren Zick.

As a sophomore left fielder on the St. John’s softball team, Zick developed a hitting approach that maximized her skills. Being a left-handed hitter, Zick used her proximity to first base and blazing fast speed to become a prolific slapper.

With a slap swing designed to place hits in precarious locations for defenses, fielders had to rush to make a play to have any hope of an out at first base. But this spring, Zick has become more than just a slap hitter.

She said she’s started to “slap for power.”

The results have made the 2014 Kaneland graduate from Sugar Grove a hard out. She’s a dangerous hitter who earned a spot on the March 14 Big East Honor Roll after she hit .500 at the Hofstra Invitational. Zick hit safely in all four games, was 2 for 3 against Connecticut and was 2 for 2 in stolen base attempts.

“I’ve worked to expand my swing,” Zick said. “I can slap for power now. I can control where it goes and further exploit a defense.”

With a soft slap, Zick said she’s used an abbreviated follow-through.

It’s more of a finesse move at the point of contact. But when she swings away, the goal is to create more speed with the bat head as the barrel makes contact with the ball.

In the constant chess match that is softball, Zick’s ability to read a defense has led to a .276 batting average.

She enters the April 16 doubleheader at Providence with two doubles, a triple and six RBIs. St. John’s coach Amy Kvilhaug said Zick has a green light to run any time she’s on base.

The decision to give Zick freedom on the basepaths came when Kvilhaug noticed Zick was savvy enough to notice a slight shift in fielders’ positioning.

It’s a move that has paid off as Zick leads St. John’s with 15 steals in 16 attempts.

Kvilhaug first read about Zick after a regional combine report gushed about her “blazing speed,” which Zick cultivated during a successful girls track career at Kaneland.

“Speed doesn’t take any days off,” Kvilhaug said. “If Lauren hits it on the ground, she has a good chance to be on base. She’s so fast, fielders have to rush just to have a chance to get her out. Softball is such a fast-paced game.

WHAT TO WATCH

ON CAMPUS James Nokes

SPORTS | Kane County Chronicle / KCChronicle.com

Baseball: St. Charles East at Geneva, 4:30 p.m. April 14. The Saints and Vikings finish up their scheduled three-game, Upstate Eight Conference River Division series with a game at Geneva. Both teams have pitched extremely well this season and are hoping to get the bats going a bit more. Batavia-St. Charles East, three-game series, April 19 through April 21. Batavia will have just finished up an extended three-game UEC River series against St. Charles North because of inclement weather. Depending on how that series plays out, this could be a huge set for the Bulldogs in the River race. East has been solid on the mound and in the field so far but will need more production from the bats as the conference season gets into full swing.

Boys volleyball: St. Francis at St. Charles North, 6 p.m. April 18. North will have had a week off after a victory over St. Charles East. The North Stars’ Drew Lanz and Jackson Kolodziej poise problems for most opposing teams.

Girls soccer: St. Charles East at St. Charles North, 6:30 p.m. April 19. The Saints may come into this matchup unbeaten while North could have just one blemish on its record. Always an entertaining contest, this matchup finished in a 1-1 draw last season as the two teams finished as co-champions of the UEC River.

Softball: St. Charles North at St. Charles East, 4:30 p.m. April 20. This is always an intriguing game and likely could feature two of the better pitchers in the area in North’s Jillian Waslawski and Jordan Hall of the Saints. Hall will have a tall task of slowing down a potent North Stars lineup led by senior Amanda James.

Lauren Zick ‘a big deal’ for Red Storm

Photo provided by St. John’s Athletics

St. John’s sophomore left fielder Lauren Zick, a Kaneland product, was a first team allBig East softball selection in 2015 after batting .444 in conference games.

“We brought Lauren in to set the table and steal bases. Now she’s coming up in key situations to drive in runs. She comprehends what we are trying to do so well, has a strong desire to get better and when you mix into the pot that she’s very coachable, Lauren has been a big deal for us. She’s lived up to every bit of the expectations we had for her and then some.”

St. John’s (19-17, 3-5 Big East) has entered the final third of its schedule, and Zick is one of four players to start all 36 games for the Red Storm.

While Kvilhaug praised Zick’s work ethic, she also said the entire Red Storm lineup has practiced explo-

sive movements in their swings to improve their weight transfer. Even slappers work on swinging away, which has let Zick expand her craft in the batter’s box.

“We play some traditional style small-ball softball,” Zick said. “We want to exploit the other team’s weaknesses. We plan our attack based on their defense. That really fits my style. I like to play a short game. But in certain situations I can power it out there, too.”

KANE COUNTY PREPS ATHLETE OF THE WEEK CLAIRE RASMUSSEN St. Charles East Junior | Girls soccer Why Rasmussen was selected: Rasmussen scored two goals and provided an assist for the Saints in their 3-0 win over Geneva on April 9 to win the St. Charles East Augsburg-Drach Invite.

St. Charles East junior girls soccer player Claire Rasmussen ignited the Saints’ attack during a 3-0 victory against Geneva on April 9, scoring twice and adding an assist as East clinched a tournament championship in its own Augsburg-Drach Invite.

Rasmussen, the Kane County Chronicle-St. Charles Bank & Trust Athlete of the Week, touched base with Kane County Chronicle sports reporter Chris Casey to discuss the Saints’ 9-0 start to the season.

The following is an edited transcript: Why does this group work so well together?

We just trust each other. It’s kind of hard to explain, but we just know each

other’s tendencies and play off each other well.

Does it surprise you to hear you guys have scored 39 goals and have allowed zero through nine games?

It’s kind of crazy, but I mean it’s part of trusting each other. Defense is a team thing. It starts with [senior goalkeeper Allison Chesterfield], to the defenders, midfielders and even forwards, sometimes.

Talk about that defense. It’s a new group together, but seems to play well.

They’re fantastic. It all starts with them.

A lot of what they do gets overlooked and I really owe it all to them.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF COMMUNITY BANKING!

The 2016 Kane County Cougars feature a wealth of pitching talent, one of several reasons catcher Luke Lowery is excited the Midwest League season began last week.

A 14th-round selection of the parent Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2015 Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft, Lowery played collegiately at East Carolina and was born in Richmond, Va. Speaking with Kane County Chronicle Sports Editor Kevin Druley for this edition of the Weekly Chit-chat, Lowery discussed his outlook for the season and his approach behind the plate. The following is an edited transcript: At which point in spring training were you working with the pitchers who’d eventually form the Kane County Cougars pitching staff?

Definitely every day. Catching their sides and bullpens, certain things like that. Then making time with [manager Mike Benjamin] and [coach Shawn Roof] … and they lined it up so we could catch them in games just to make an easier transition for when we got out here to Kane County.

What do you like about the staff overall?

Definitely we’ve got a lot of good guys that fill up the zone, you know, with Taylor Clarke, Alex Young, Carlos Hernandez, Justin Donatella and Junior Garcia. All those guys, they fill up the zone. For [fellow catchers] Matt Jones, Jose Queliz and I, it makes it really, really easy for us to catch and call a game knowing that guys are going to go out there and pound the zone.

Do you have any prior experience facing some of your now-teammates in college?

I actually got to face Alex Young in the summer, in the Cape Cod [Mass.] summer league. [Outfielder] Jason Morozowski, he went to Mount Olive [N.C.], which is about

Weekly

CHIT-CHAT LUKE LOWERY Kane County Cougars 45 minutes right down the road. … Other than that, you know, just playing with some of these guys last year after the draft, we had a really tight-knit team at [Rookie League] Missoula [Mont.].

How was it to play in Montana? Had you been to that part of the country to play ball?

Oh, no. Never. It was actually fun.

It was great weather all the time. Our coaching staff [which included former Cub Joe Mather as manager] … they did a great job out there, and we just had a really good group of guys out there as well.

Have you been catching since your days in developmental ball?

Yeah. When I was a little kid coming up, I was always a catcher. Then in college, you know, I played a variety of positions. I played catcher, first base. I played all left field my entire junior season. Didn’t catch at all. So last year was nice, and the Diamondbacks helped me out just getting back into things in instructional league and all that. So I feel pretty back to normal.

How much of it is like riding a bike?

You know, it’s tough. It’s working with the staff every day, you know.

You’ve got to know who’s coming out of the pen, who’s hot that day. With our staff, it’s just knowing what guys like to have called and just working with them. So, I mean, it’s not like riding a bike, but, you know, Queliz, Matt Jones and I are going to do our best to get it going.”

Joy Mangano, inventor of the Miracle Mop, thinks millennials might not have learned everything they need to know about cleaning from their parents.

“I will never forget my son calling me from Georgetown University within his first week there and saying, ‘So, OK, how do you do laundry?’” Mangano said.

Mangano, who has gone on to invent many more household products now sold at HSN and other retailers, said her three kids did have chores growing up. But she admits that they, as well as lots of others in their generation, may not have watched that closely as parents cleaned.

Mangano, who was the inspiration for the film “Joy,” starring Jennifer Lawrence, said making cleaning a priority is something 20-somethings Ingenious Designs are learning to embrace. She said most Joy Mangano is the president of Ingenious are eager to learn how to do cleaning tasks properly and efficiently. Often, Designs, a company that specializes in “if they need to know something, they products that simplify everyday challenges.

1. Mop

Mangano said clean floors are the starting point of a tidy home. A mop can quickly clean up wet spills or dust dry floors and is perfect for wiping up dirt tracked in from outside. It doesn’t take up much space and will last for years versus one-time-use cleaning products, she said. Mangano’s Miracle Mop ($19.95 on HSN; also at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target and Macy’s) is self-wringing and was designed so the head could be machine-washed. The mop has braided microfibers for texture and absorption, and it can be used wet or dry. The self-wringing technology means you don’t have to touch a dirty mop. Mangano said you can use hot water with lemon for mopping, if you don’t like to use chemicals.

A microfiber cloth attracts dirt and can be used in hard-to-reach places such as the top of the refrigerator and around the computer.

4. Bucket

A bucket is one of the most basic of household cleaning essentials. You need a bucket to use a mop properly, but you can also use your bucket to store cleaning supplies in one place.

So, Mangano said, a utilitarian item becomes a storage space saver and a way to transport your cleaning supplies around your apartment. The basic Rubbermaid 11-quart Neat-N-Tidy bucket would set you back less than $10 ($8.49, acehardware.com).

You don’t need a large, expensive vacuum in a small place, Mangano said. But you do need a lightweight one with a cord. She said cordless models don’t have enough power. For a basic model, she suggested a stick vacuum. The Dirt Devil Vibe 3-in-1

Corded Bagless Stick Vacuum ($39.99 at target.com) is great for a quick pickup and doesn’t take up a lot of room in a closet. This versatile design cleans both area rugs and hard floors and has a removable handheld vacuum.

Ann Keen runs Spice House by day, is Shakespeare director by night

By CHRIS CASEY ccasey@shawmedia.com

W

hen Ann Keen moved to St. Charles from the city of Chicago, she always wondered what would happen to her career in theatre.

After opening The Spice House in Geneva with her husband, John, the commuting got to be too hectic and they decided to move closer.

While simply reaching out to Donna Steel of Steel Beam Theatre in St. Charles for any director openings, Steel thought Ann’s voice was perfect for a role in an upcoming play and her theatre career was back.

Keen had previous acting experience at Polarity Ensemble Theatre in Evanston, which was the main company she worked with during her time living in the city.

Richard Engling, the artistic director at Polarity, has decided to step down after this year, but wanted Keen to come back and direct one final play. Through auditions and rehearsals, Keen is the director of Polarity’s spring play, doo-wop version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Since rehearsals began in March, Keen has worked at The Spice House during the day before driving to the city to work on her production Sunday through Thursday.

While trying to balance working at The Spice House, on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and raising her two children, Alex, 10, and Ian, 8, Keen caught up with Kane County Chronicle reporter Chris Casey to talk about her balancing act.

Chris Casey: What has this whole experience been like for you?

Ann Keen: It’s been tricky, that’s for

sure. To top it off, we just got a dog, so it’s like I have a third child to look after. But I have to be ultra-organized.

Once you’re in production, you can work on a script all the time. I literally have to shut down my laptop so that my time spent with my children can be making muffins with them or doing their homework with them. I don’t get to see them at night, so I really have to hyper-schedule my time. It can definitely be challenging at times, but I’ve found that this is going to make me a better owner and parent because when you’re organized, everything is easier.

Casey: What is your typical day like when you have to work at The Spice House and head into the city?

Keen: I’m usually up to get the kids

to school – though my husband has taken that responsibility with me

Theater returns to Pheasant Run Resort Vero Voce shows set through June KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

Ann Keen runs The Spice House in Geneva during the day before driving to Chicago for her work directing a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” until about 4 p.m. when I have to head into the city so I can make it there by 6 p.m. I get to rehearsals around 6 p.m. or so, then have a break at 8 p.m., leave by 10 p.m. and am home by 11 p.m. at the latest. I forgot to eat lunch today, so that didn’t happen until around 3 p.m.

If you go n WHAT: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” n WHEN: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and

Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays from April 24 to May 22 n WHERE: The Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago n INFO: $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $10 for students sleeping a little later – by 8 a.m., then try to head back to bed for a little bit and get to The Spice House by 10 or 10:30 a.m. My husband or our other partner, Kevin, will open The Spice House on those days and I will come in and look through orders. We just started our wedding favors, so with it being bridal season, that’s primarily what I work on during my three hours or so that I’m there. I usually leave by 1:30 or 2 p.m., and am with my kids

Casey: It sounds like quite a bit. Do you enjoy it?

Keen: I love it. I absolutely love

it. I’m also extremely excited for the production because for the first time, Polarity is going to offer a children’s matinee show (April 24). The show is so fun for all ages that when I brought my boys to the show the first time I did it in Aurora, they absolutely loved it. They wanted to meet the actors and now we’re putting on a show with milk and cookies for the children at intermission. I can’t wait.

Casey: Lastly, what was the reason you moved to St. Charles?

Keen: One, the commuting was too

much. But the main reason, which I think is the most important thing in running a business, is that we felt we had to get to know and live in our community. It’s essential. We love being around this community, and getting to know our customers has been one of the most enjoyable parts.

ST. CHARLES – Theatrical performances are returning to Pheasant Run Resort’s main stage with upcoming productions by the Vero Voce Theater and School of Performing Arts, according to a press release.

Vero Voce’s productions are scheduled through June, the release states. It indicated the shows will include two performances from its Young Performers Series and at least one by its main stage actors.

“We are happy to work with Vero Voce and appreciate the immense amount of talent and energy these performers will bring to both St. Charles and our theater,” Pheasant Run General Manager John Martin stated in the release.

Fox Valley Repertory, a nonprofit theater company, previously was in residence at the resort. It closed last fall after 11 years.

Dawn Brown, who co-owns Vero Voce with her husband, stated in the release that the Pheasant Run stage will provide her organization with bigger accommodations.

“Due to the success we’ve experienced over the past four years, we are excited to expand the theater into a larger space,” she stated in the release.

“We wrap up our 2015-2016 season with these three productions and a number of additional events in the planning stage, including a murder mystery, guest artists, a lunch-and-theater event and more.”

“The Outsiders” will kick off the Vero Voce run with performances scheduled for April 15 to 24.

The other productions are “Disney’s Mulan Jr.” from May 13 to 22; and “Next to Normal” from May 27 to June 12, according to the release.

New Water Street Studios display in Batavia features abstract paintings

By BEN DRAPER bdraper@shawmedia.com

Batavia artist Richard DeVeau will exhibit art at Water Street Studios through May 7, including this piece, entitled “Do You Think It Will Last?”

“Phase II” comes at a time in both artists’ careers and lives where they both see themselves moving into a new phase. It also represents a new direction for the gallery. Sherrell and DeVeau are part of the new Water Street Studios Artists Collective, which was formed in December.

“Steve and I are the founding members of the collective and were asked by the committee to show in April,” DeVeau said. “‘Phase II’ is both personal for Steve and me, and it is also a new phase for the gallery itself.”

In an artist collective, sometimes called a co-op, the group votes on upcoming shows, rather than a single

DeVeau is no stranger to an artist-driven gallery.

“I was part of the Kingston Gallery in Boston for about five years before moving [to Batavia],” DeVeau said. “We really gained a reputation for presenting some of the most cut-

ting-edge art in Boston.”

Artists interested in applying to join the cooperative should visit www.WaterStreetStudios.org.

In addition, on the second floor of Water Street Studios – in the Kane County Chronicle Gallery – artist Kenneth Benavides will show work that explores dichromatic and trichromatic (two- and three-color) viewer perception.

The “Phase II” exhibit at Water Street Studios in Batavia will be on display from 1 to 9 p.m. Fridays and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays until May 7. For more information, call 630-761-9977.

Kermit the Frog. Lamb Chop. You know them as the most popular puppets of all time.

The Melikin Puppets, based out of Bolingbrook, may not be as recognizable as those listed above, but they’ve toured the country from coast to coast, making plenty of new fans along the way. And their next stop is Sugar Grove.

“What we do is we take some popular fairy tales like ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ and ‘Chicken Little,’ and we inject some things into them,” said Mel Biske, who created the Melikin PupPhoto provided pets in 1967. “We rewrite them a bit and The Melikin Puppets will perform the show add some comedy and a little bit of an “Slightly Fractured Fairy Tales” at 11 a.m. unusual twist.”

That hobby blossomed into a profession, and for nearly 50 years, the Melikin Puppet Theatre has presented educational and entertaining programs for schools, children’s theaters and libraries.

The production features casts of original Melikin creations. All puppets are handmade using a poly-foam technique and are large, colorful and designed to portray specific characters.

“What we provide on stage for young

audiences is an introduction to live theater,” Biske said. “What we’ve seen for years now is a lot of principals and teachers have booked our shows, and it’s like a throwback for them because they remember seeing us when they were children and we came to their library or school.”

Following the program, children will have an opportunity to meet with some of the puppets and pose for pictures.

“We’ll bring a couple characters out from the show, and with the parents and kids we can pose for the kids and a little nonsense,” Biske said. “We always encourage the parents to attend with their children, especially for the pictures.”

The Melikin Puppets show is for all ages, and attendees will enjoy the show free of charge, thanks to a donation from an anonymous community member.

The program is sponsored by P.A.C.T. (Programs and Community Together).

• Thursday, April 14, 2016

BATAVIA – Two established artists have collaborated for Water Street Studios’ newest art exhibit, “Phase II,” which is now up in the studio’s main gallery.

The exhibit features abstract paintings by Batavia artist and Boston native Richard DeVeau, and Chicago artist Steve Sherrell.

DeVeau’s work explores color and texture with a narrative element that centers on the theme of family. One day while in his studio, DeVeau found inspiration from an unlikely source.

“I had [a] box of tissues that had a blue background and a bunch of birds on small wires. I took one of my previous … pieces and added the birds.

Once I added them to the glowing metallics ... it just popped. It was incredible,” he explained. “They almost began to talk to me. The thing that was coming out was like talking to children.”

DeVeau, a father of four, recently helped raise his grandson as well.

“Family is huge for me,” he said.

“It seems like I’ve always been a parent. So, the whole idea of family is close to my heart, and the birds [in the paintings] express themselves in that vein.”

Sherrell, a professor emeritus of art at Joliet Junior College, will present works that explore color in a playful way, while attempting to get to the heart of questions that matter in the 21st century.

LEARNING TO GROW Diana Stoll draws you to them. It may be their time of bloom that earns them a place on your must-have list. Do you yearn for a sea of blue that naturalizing scilla provides? Do garden bouquets of daffodils interplanted with grape hyacinths make your heart skip a beat?

Next, decide where pops of color would be most appreciated. Don’t forget views from indoors, too. With next spring’s panorama fresh in your mind, insert small wood stakes or plant markers labeled with the bulbs and where they will be planted. Don’t trust your memory. Make detailed notes or draw a small diagram. Once other plants have filled in garden beds, it may be difficult to remember, and you may find yourself on a treasure hunt for markers next fall.

When local garden centers tout the arrival of bulbs, grab those photos for inspiration and get out there and plant.

Next spring, your neighbors will be envious of your spring color.

Tulips are a spring favorite for many local gardeners. “Garden centers are filled with customers who want to purchase these [types of] beauties – in April and May – but these harbingers of spring are planted in fall,” writes columnist Diana Stoll.

Snowdrops offer the first glimpse of color to winter-weary landscapes.

Winter aconite follows in an explosion of golden yellow. Crocus in a variety of dazzling shades, swaths of blue scilla, pink or blue glory-of-the-snow, and grape hyacinths bloom one after the other in spring’s opening act. Tulips and daffodils are the star players of the season. Their spectacular, intensely colored flowers in any color imaginable leave no doubt that spring has arrived.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t jump for joy when these bulbs trumpet the arrival of spring. Garden centers are filled with customers who want to purchase these beauties – in April and May – but these harbingers of spring are planted in fall.

If you are one of those lusting after the spring color in your neighbor’s landscape, pledge to plant bulbs this year. Begin by planning which types to plant. Take a walk around your neighborhood; visit public gardens; flip through the pages of garden magazines; and check out http://extension.illinois. edu/bulbs on the University of Illinois Extension website.

Pay close attention to the bulbs you admire most. Take notes and photos of favorites. It may be their color that

M STERY D NER Haché Modern Brasserie offers farm-to-table dining Questions? Email planitkanenews@shawmedia.com

Restaurant reviews

Simply put, Haché Moderne Brasserie is a place that you want to be.

Haché, which opened last year, is nestled on the corner of State and 6th streets in downtown Geneva in the space formerly occupied by Urban Grille.

The French-influenced, farm-to-table, fine-dining establishment exudes Parisian and French country charm.

Candlelight, ornate chandeliers and urban lighting add a bit of romance to the space, while earthy tones and rustic elements are met with paisley-prints, azure accents and a splash of eclectic vintage charm.

The space is intimate, informal and inviting. A small outdoor patio flanks the front entrance and the foyer – decorated with hanging lanterns, ivy-laden walls and wooden benches – and serves as a portal to what will undoubtedly end up being a fabulous culinary experience.

From Buffalo Frog Legs and Chicken Liver Pate to Seared Chick-

en Roulade and Cassoulet, executive head chef Andrew Hoelscher gives traditional French favorites a modern twist.

The Batavia native’s kitchen credentials include the 4-Diamond-rated Herrington Inn and Spa in Geneva, the River North gastropub English, and the Nuevo Latino restaurant Coobah.

Hoelscher employs the farm-totable dining concept by using locally sourced vegetables from Heritage Prairie and Rustic Road farms in Elburn, as well as Windy Acres Farm in Geneva.

The restaurant’s selection of wine is displayed in a glass-encased wine cellar that flanks a swanky bar.

Specialty cocktails, such as the Sexy Farmer Bloody Mary, the Geneva Mule and the Pomm Pomm, all use Herrington Premium Vodka by Geneva-based Fox River Distilling Company.

My dining companion and I

visited Haché – as first-time visitors to the restaurant – on a Wednesday evening.

Haché has a nice wine menu, with multiple varietals by the glass and bottle. I was offered a sample of the popular Blue Rock Baby Blue Bordeaux Blend from Napa Valley, before settling on the fuller-bodied Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon, also from Napa. My dining companion ordered a glass of the Angeline pinot noir.

Upon hearing the list of specials, we decided to order the Seared Scallops special as an appetizer, which the chef was nice enough to split in half for us.

The delicately plated Seared Scallops came served on a bed of peas with ramps (wild onions), asparagus, lardons in sweet pea ragout with tomatoes and a lobster bisque drizzle.

I was completely wowed by this

Haché Modern Brasserie in Geneva featured the Seared Scallops as an evening special, which was split in half as an appetizer for the mystery diner and her dining companion.

Continued from page 10 dish.

The scallops were seared to a perfect golden-brown and melted in my mouth.

Haché’s menu also features seared scallops with curried cauliflower, smoked mandarin, coconut vinaigrette and pomegranate coulis.

The scallops were my favorite dish during the meal, but my dining companion loved the Michigan Lamb.

After a few bites, she declared to our waiter that it was the best lamb that she had ever tasted.

Cooked to perfection, the lamb came with a tandoori-spiked demi glaze with spicy yogurt over herbed polenta and root vegetables.

Haché Modern Brasserie is a lovely addition to Geneva’s dining scene, and – if you haven’t tried it already – it’s time to pay the restaurant a visit.

Whether you’re looking for a special spot to catch up with friends or dine with a date, Haché is where you want to be.

T

he Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival takes place annually to celebrate art in many forms.

This year’s festival featured the works of artists from across Illinois who presented, sold and demonstrated their art during the festival.

Artwork from students across the Kaneland School District also was on display, showcasing everything from drawn pictures to photography and ceramics. “[The festival] really shows the creativity each student has, [as well as] the types of things going on in the art classrooms. It is more than just coloring,” said Sara Chumbley, whose son, first-grader Brayden, had artwork featured during the fest.

(Next to McDonalds)

Some days, you just gotta get outta dodge. You know? Roll down the windows, turn up the radio and sing?

The day Holly and I headed to Matthiessen State Park for that hike, that’s what we did. Nothing on the radio was doing it for me, though. Moments like this one called for a specific vibe, and it was a particular Dixie Chicks’ tune I pined for. But I couldn’t find my CD. So I sang along with Holly to one of her tunes, instead.

Sometimes that’s OK. Other times, not so much.

“Hey. It’s a solo,” she said after a few bars. Nice. So, ya know, I amped it up a bit. “Aw, Mom, …. Mom, stop. If you’re gonna do this the whole way … .” I was planning on it, actually. “Mom, stop, or I’ll jump out of the car!” Well. My singing isn’t that bad, honest! But I get it.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose Remember when you were a teenager and you heard your parents sing, particularly if they sang along to one of your faves? Wasn’t that weird? Didn’t it feel kinda strange? Like you’d oddly stumbled into a TMI moment? Gotten an unsolicited peek into their own tender feelings? Ick. Right? So not cool when you’re 15. And trapped in the car with your mother. Even weirder is suddenly finding yourself the mother in this awkward scenario.

Since Holly’s begun driving, though, an interesting thing has happened. Now

in my face, I had to push her arm out a few inches so that my 40-something eyes could make out the images on the screen, but I digress.)

That was a fun moment. Maybe not for the nurses and doctor who came into the room to periodically get a history and do their thing, as they had to compete with our silliness, but no matter. I’m good with that. Because as Katy Perry sings in her hit song “Hot N Cold,” “You’re in then you’re out. You’re up then you’re down.”

Gotta ride the wave with your teenagers and enjoy being “in,” whenever the mood strikes.

Those moments are fleeting.

HOROSCOPE

she yells at me if I happen to glance her way while she’s singing in the car – suddenly aware, perhaps, that I “see” her, defenseless, since she must keep her eyes on the road. “Mom!” I can’t win.

It’s not just my singing, or my watching her sing, that offends (or, you know, my chewing, sighing, etc.). No, dancing in my seat at red lights apparently is objectionable, too.

“Mom! Stop!” she said, laughing as we drove home from a doctor’s appointment in Winfield on a recent Wednesday.

So, you know, I threw in some new moves. Embarrassing moves, judging from her reaction. But not even an hour earlier she’d leaned against me in the exam room as we huddled over her cellphone and giggled about the silly memes her friends had posted online.

(Actually, every time she stuck the phone

18 Daily meds lower risk of gout attacks Dear Dr. K: I have had three attacks of gout in the past year. I never had it before.

Now my doctor wants me to take a medicine every day, even though I feel fine. Is this a good idea?

Dear Reader: Well, you have a kindred soul in Doctor K, since I also have developed gout in recent years.

The disease occurs when a natural chemical called uric acid finds its way into the joints that connect two bones.

All of us always have some amount of uric acid in our blood. In people with gout, the amount of uric acid usually is higher than normal.

An attack of gout can be quite painful.

Most of the time, it hits just one joint – often one of the big toes. However, it can be anywhere.

Sometimes gout hits multiple joints at the same time. My last attack hit multiple joints in my right foot and in my right index finger.

There are two types of treatment for gout.

To treat the pain of an acute attack, anti-inflammatory medicines are necessary. Several different kinds are used.

They quell the inflammation in the joint and ease the pain.

However, when people have repeated attacks, they also need to take a medicine that lowers the blood levels of uric acid.

I’ll bet that’s the treatment your doctor wants you to start. In the United States, the most commonly used medicine is allopurinol.

Lowering the blood levels of uric acid reduces the risk of future attacks of gout, although it does not completely eliminate it.

So, like many treatments, you’re taking a treatment not to relieve suffering

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff you currently have; instead, you’re taking a treatment to reduce your risk of future suffering.

It is easy to tell if the treatment is working: Checking levels of uric acid requires just a simple blood test. But the treatment will work only if you take it as prescribed, meaning every day.

The daily treatment may have one other important benefit in addition to reducing future attacks of gout. A recent study of over 40,000 people followed for nearly seven years identified a remarkable result.

The study compared people with gout who did not take uric acid-lowering treatment to people with gout who did.

People who did not take treatment had more than double the risk of dying from heart disease.

How could treatment for inflammation in the joints affect disease of the heart?

Atherosclerosis of the heart’s arteries is the greatest cause of premature death in developed nations.

It is made worse by inflammation.

And there is growing evidence that inflammation anywhere in the body can negatively affect the arteries of the heart (and brain).

So, should you take daily treatment to lower your uric acid? As I said, you and I are in the same boat. I decided to take the daily pill.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Worries Dear Money Worries: If someone has to have

money worries, yours are the nicest kind to have. It would be interesting to know how many successful people share your feelings, because I suspect that you are far from alone in experiencing them. (A psychiatrist once told me that many of her successful patients feel like frauds despite their considerable accomplishments.) A licensed mental health professional can help you to get past these feelings before they cause your daughter to be isolated, and I think the money would be well spent.

Dear Abby: I am raising two of my grandchildren because their parents can’t take care of them. The kids are still learning acceptable behavior because they were never taught.

I’ll give you an example of something that happens often: I was paying for an item at a store and my granddaughter sneaked behind the counter and reached into the display case.

Cupcakes were involved. The saleslady asked her to stop. I immediately got ahold of my wayward offender, glued her to my side until I was finished and then made her apologize.

The problem was, the saleslady immediately said, “Oh, it’s OK.” I then had to ask the saleslady to please NOT tell my granddaughter that it was OK, but instead to accept my granddaughter’s apology, because my granddaughter really would think it WAS OK. Your thoughts? – Raising Grandkids Dear Raising: I think the salesperson was simply being polite and professional, and that those children are lucky to have such a caring grandmother watching out for them.

Dr. Wallace: Please print my letter. I’m sure many do not understand that teens have a very high suicide rate because of depression.

I nearly lost my own 14-yearold daughter to suicide a couple of years ago. At the time I thought it was part of “adolescence” for teens to withdraw from their parents so they could be more independent. I thought everything was fine until she ran away.

After the turmoil of that experience there were three more suicide attempts (two in one night) and she required two stays at a pediatric psychiatric facility.

It was a real “wake-up” call and we became aware of the fact that adolescent depression is not as rare as one would think.

Now I want to urge teens to speak to their parents if they are feeling even a little depressed, or if they think their emotions are just a little out of control, or if they just feel very sad.

If their parents don’t take this seriously or think they are just trying to get attention, the teen should go to a school counselor, relative or close family friend and keep talking until someone offers some help.

The teen should not just sit around thinking it will pass, because he or she will not start feeling better without some professional help.

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace My daughter was suffering from biological depression and she was treated with intensive therapy, including family therapy and medication. She finished therapy and was taken off medication this past February. Thankfully, she is now back to her old self.

Please help spread the word and urge your teen readers to seek help when they are feeling depressed. – Mother, Providence,

R.I.

Mother: The teenage years are fraught with change and disappointment and can be extremely difficult. All teens go through dizzying highs and lows as they make the transition to adulthood.

Unfortunately, many get overwhelmed by the lows and become depressed, and some of them contemplate suicide. Indeed, teenagers have one of the highest rates of suicide of any age group.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to our young readers and their parents on this urgent topic. And congratulations to you for rescuing your daughter!

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 20-year-old young lady who plans to marry her 20-year-old fiance this summer. We plan to have chil-

dren, but I’m concerned about them being healthy and normal.

When I was 15, I started drinking heavily and really got into drugs.

I smoked pot every day and took speed and acid every weekend.

I stopped all of this foolishness when I turned 18, but I’ve heard LSD and pot have lingering bad effects.

I’ve worked hard to turn my life around, and I’m horrified to think the mistakes I made could prevent me from having a normal baby. My fiance is understanding and has even suggested using a surrogate mother, but I don’t like that idea.

I used to think getting high was the greatest thrill on earth; now I’m heartbroken to think what drugs and alcohol have done to me. Please tell me if it’s possible for me to have a normal baby.

– Nameless, Sulphur, La. Nameless: The greatest danger of having a deformed baby (physically and/or mentally) is when the mother drinks alcohol or takes drugs WHILE she’s pregnant.

I suggest that you and your fiance speak to a physician who will answer all your questions.

Your chances of having a healthy baby seem to be good since you have been straight for two years.

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I’m a 29-yearold self-made Jeanne millionaire who Phillips has spent the last decade saving and investing my middle-class income. I grew up dirt poor, so at 18 I left home with $5, went straight to work and never looked back.

Recently, I’ve realized that I struggle to make friends for fear they’ll find out about my financial situation. Those who know only want to talk about money or treat me differently. Most of my peers are broke and it makes me feel guilty. Those with high incomes blow their money on fancy dinners and luxury vehicles. I’m just a working-class woman who likes driving my 10-year-old car, and I don’t feel like I fit in with anyone. In fact, I’m developing an anxiety.

A few months ago I went to the bank to deposit a large sum of money and was mortified to see that the bank teller was a friend of the family. I have gone to the extreme of lying about owning homes and going on vacations, and it’s making me crazy. I even have issues with letting my young daughter’s friends come over for playdates, for fear that the other moms will think our house is “too nice.” Do I need counseling or is this just a turning point in my life that I need to grasp? – Money

6 p.m. on @ WFLD Bordertown Gert (voice of Missi Pyle) has a health crisis — described by the title of the new episode “Heart Attack” — as she suffers it at an especially inopportune time, during the Little Miss Mexifornia Pageant. The cost of treatment in America proves prohibitive, so Bud (voice of Hank Azaria) takes her to Mexico for it. Pepito (voice of Jacqueline Pinol) also has medical needs, but what he takes for them has side effects that aren’t very appealing to others.

6:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life Cooper and Josh (Jack Cutmore-Scott, Justin Bartha) try to clean up their acts when their mother and father (guest stars Jane Kaczmarek and Alan Ruck) come to town in the new episode “How to Survive Your Parents’ Visit.” However, Dad is the one whose behavior may prove most problematic — and it comes to involve rap star Juicy J (guest starring as himself). Neal’s (Charlie Saxton) devotion to something takes Barry (James Earl) to try to help him break the habit.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Little Big Shots Billy Joel generally may be known as the “Piano Man,” but he might get competition from someone in this new episode — namely, a 9-year-old who’s quite proficient with the 88 keys.

A 6-year-old dancer who generated a stir on the Internet also is featured.
