Mallory Jackson displays girl power, becomes first woman to win crown in men’s division

By SUSAN ONEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com St. Charles residents Mallory Jackson and her twin brother, Joe Jackson Jr., started racing at Sycamore Speedway when they were 16.

This year, at 24 years old, Mallory won the spectator championship, becoming the first woman to win the men’s division.

“Ten years ago a woman never even tried to seriously race against the men,” said Bonnie Streit, a friend of the family and a former racer.

Streit used to race in the powder puff division for many years before Mallory started racing.

“When Mallory started [racing], I could see she had talent,” Streit said. “I was so happy when she

broke that barrier.”

Mallory started out in the powder puff division, racing in cars that her father, Joe Jackson Sr., and brother had built for her.

She won the championship in the powder puff division in her fifth year of racing in 2013.

Once she had conquered that division, Mallory decided she wanted to try racing in the spectator division.

Three years later, she has won the championship in that division, beating all of the guys she raced against.

“I’m the first girl to do that ever,” she said. “It’s a big accomplishment.”

Not only is she the first woman to win the spectator division, she is the first woman to place in the top five against the men.

“She is cool, calm and really good at holding her own,” Streit said. “And from what I see, she truly earned the respect of the men she raced with.”

Mallory said that what she appreciates is the men treat her as just another driver.

“I’m having to work for it,” she said.

Fellow racer and flagman Dave Radloff would agree with that.

“I’ve had a blast racing with her,” he said. “You don’t have to worry about Mal. She races the same as we all do. When we’re out there, she’s just another car with us.”

Her dad might be her biggest fan.

Joe Jackson Sr. had been a racer for 25 years before he retired. He said he is very proud of his daughter, although he did admit to being a little nervous at first. He’s more relaxed these days.

“She can drive a car,” he said.

He said that from the time Mallory and her brother Joe were 11 years old, he would take them out to their cousin’s farm to race his stock cars around the barn. He said they were competitive then and they still are.

Joe Jackson Jr. began racing competitively when he was 14 years old. Their grandfather also had been a driver.

“Racing has been in our blood,” he said.

Joe Jackson Jr. has always built

his own cars as well as helped his dad build Mallory’s.

He prides himself in building cars that help Mallory win, as well as making sure they are safe.

“It’s nice to see my car beat previous champions,” he said.

Joe Jackson Jr.’s passion is racing demolition. He describes it as going into a pit with 10 other cars and smashing into each other until the last car is standing, although Streit said there’s quite a bit of skill involved.

“It’s a good frustration reliever,” Joe Jackson Jr. said.

Joe Jackson Jr. won his first demolition when he was 15. This year he won the championship.

After racing every weekend of the season for the past eight years – and for Joe Jackson Sr. a lot longer than that – the Jacksons are going to take a break next year. The St. Charles family will do some camping and fishing, and have some free weekends during the summer.

“We’re finishing on a high note,” Joe Jackson Sr. said.

Build McNair committee raises money for proposed sports development Complex to be modeled after Aurora, St. Charles facilities

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

Brenda Schory - bschory@shawmedia.com

Get to know Ted Masinick Elburn resident Ted Masinick, 48, was at St. Charles Bowl when he answered questions for the Kane County Chronicle’s Brenda Schory.

Schory: Where did you grow up?

Masinick: St. Charles. I graduated from St. Charles East in 1986.

Schory: Do you have any pets?

Masinick: A hermit crab named Ace Schory: Who would play you in the movie of your life?

Masinick: Matt Dillon Schory: First job?

Masinick: At Kentucky Fried Chicken

BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP – The Build McNair committee continues to spread word around the Elburn, Kaneville and Sugar Grove area about the proposed development for a 60-acre public open space and youth sports complex that would be situated in Blackberry Township, northwest of Route 47 and Main Street.

Most recently, the group had a major kickoff event Sept. 24 at Elburn Lions Park called “Movie Night for McNair,” where attendees enjoyed a free family night under the stars with live music, a special screening of the movie “Ice Age: Collision Course,” raffles, concessions and, most significantly, the opportunity to learn more about the potential development that could have a lasting impact on youth in the area.

“The whole intent of the movie night was to raise public visibility, to have some fun as a community, and to bring in some money for the project,” said Tom Guernon, director of marketing and development for the Kaneland United Soccer Club. “We’ve been talking to a lot of local clubs, trying to get volunteers to help build private funding, and as a start, this was a huge success. We had a couple hundred people come out and we hope to turn this

Blackberry Township approved the engineering for the Build McNair site and it’s now in the hands of Wheaton-based landscape architects Planning Resources Inc. The township as well as the Build NcNair committee can apply for grants to assist in funding the major effort.

“We originally had applied for a [Kane County] Riverboat Grant to cover most of the costs,” Blackberry Township Supervisor Fred Dornback said. “So we had significantly reduced the cost of the engineering project.”

The proposal stems from the need for fields for children to play baseball, soccer, lacrosse, football and other sports, combined with some issues that have limited the use of neighboring fields. Those include the soccer club’s use of Kaneland High School being affected because of repairs to the TransCanada Pipeline Upgrade Project, Elburn Youth Baseball losing access to the McNair baseball diamond, Kaneland Youth Football being forced to move multiple times, and the possibility that the Sugar Grove Park District could lose access to Wheeler Park.

“This is modeled after the Stuart Sports Complex [in Aurora] and James Breen Complex [in St. Charles],” Guer-

Schory: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Masinick: I think I wanted to be a pilot, but I work in the finance department at the city of St. Charles.

Kane County Audubon group to feature upcoming bird walks

Schory: A book or movie you would recommend?

Masinick: “The Living Great Lakes: Searching for the Heart of the Inland Seas” by Jerry Dennis

The Kane County Audubon group will host local bird walks over the next two months.

One walk is scheduled to take place at 8 a.m. Nov. 19 at Les Arends Forest Preserve, 2S731 Route 31, Batavia.

For information about that walk, call Nancy Schnaitman at 630-365-9595.

Another walk will take place at 8 a.m. Nov. 26 at Jon Duerr Forest Preserve, located along Route 31 in South Elgin.

For information about that walk, call Glenn Pericone at 630-687-2921.

An additional walk will take place at 8 a.m. Dec. 3 at the Nelson Lake/ Dick Young Forest Preserve in Batavia. (Meet in the parking lot by the silo

Schory: Favorite charity?

Masinick: I am on the board of directors of the Elburn Lions Club.

Schory: What is an interesting factoid about yourself?

Masinick: I saved a woman in a car who was hit by a train on Route 38 in West Chicago in 1995. I pulled her out of the car.

Know more For information about the Kane County Audubon group and its activities, call Bob Andrini at 630-584-8386 or visit kanecountyaudubon.org. on Nelson Lake Road and dress for the weather.)

Call leader Terry Murray with questions about that walk at 630-8963219.

To learn more about the Kane County Audubon group and its activities, call Bob Andrini at 630-584-8386 or visit kanecountyaudubon.org.

“We originally had applied for a [Kane County] Riverboat Grant to cover most of the costs. So we had significantly reduced the cost of the engineering project.”

Fred Dornback Blackberry Township supervisor

non said. “From a soccer perspective, if we wanted to do a larger event, we couldn’t do it at the high school space because of field quality and number of fields, so this will be much more accommodating.”

Guernon said he’s hopeful that the Build McNair committee will continue to grow as it reaches out to more area youth sports programs and community members, asking them to assist in making an impact so that this project becomes a reality. Those interested in joining the effort are invited to email info@buildmcnair.org.

For now, there is a capital campaign, “Be a Builder, Buy a Brick,” where donors can buy engraved bricks that will be permanent parts of the park. Ultimately, the plan is incorporate Build McNair as an independent nonprofit and convert it into an operating board that would manage McNair Park, which would be quite similar to the structure at Elburn Lions Park.

For more information, visit buildmcnair.org.

On Nov. 16 and 17, 1989, severe thunderstorms from the Midwest to the East Coast caused 30 deaths, 10 times Hugo’s toll.

Therefore, Hurricane Hugo was the most damaging storm in the United States in 1989, but not the most deadly.

ELBURN – Local veterans were honored Nov. 11 at Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School in Elburn. After a breakfast for the 24 veterans who attended, students, teachers and parents gathered at the flagpole outside the school to express their gratitude for their service.

The veterans introduced themselves, including information about their branch of service as well as where and when they served.

“We look forward to this every year,” Elburn American Legion Post 630 commander and U.S. Air Force veteran Dave Dickinson said in his opening remarks. “We especially thank the parents who come out to recognize the contributions our vets have made.”

Several students read poems, including one called “Veterans Day” by Cheryl Dyson, recited by fifth-grader Abby Grams. A color guard from Elburn Boy Scout Troop 107 conducted the presentation of the flag. A group of Kaneland High School madrigal singers performed “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Most of the singers – high school seniors – had attended Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School.

Dickinson said all veterans deserve the recognition of our country for protecting and defending our way of life.

He said the families of the veterans also serve as their lives are significantly impacted by their family member’s commitment.

U.S. Marine Corps veteran Rick Mathys represented a proud family tradition of service in the armed forces, wearing his grandfather’s dog tags from his service in World War II.

World War II veteran Jerry Lonigro of Elburn American Legion Post 630 attends a Veterans Day ceremony Nov. 11 at Kaneland John Stewart Elementary School in Elburn.

Lloyd DaMask, who served as a Marine in the Korean War, expressed his gratitude for the recognition he and his fellow vets received.

“It means a lot to me – right here,” he said, touching his heart.

DaMask also expressed a sentiment shared by a number of his fellow veterans about his service.

“I’d do it all over again,” he said.

Mark Krebbs, who served in the Army in the early 1970s in Okinawa, Japan, and was a teacher for 38 years before he retired, said he just has to look at the lives that his daughters and their families enjoy to know that it was “all worth it.” “[To serve is] the greatest honor I’ve ever had,” he said.

Kaneland High School marching band members Dominic LaSalle and

Alex Spence played taps before everyone sang “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” at the end the ceremony.

During an afternoon assembly, fourth-graders performed a selection of patriotic music, Girl Scout Troop 927 presented the flag and led the Pledge of Allegiance, and students read poetry. Veterans were honored with a song called “A Salute to the Armed Services.”

The Veterans Day events served a dual purpose, said Kaneland John Stewart music teacher Mary Kunstman, who organized the celebrations.

They were a way to honor the veterans, but they also were meant to emphasize to the students the importance of good citizenship and patriotism.

“It is our honor to have this celebration every year,” she said.

Kaneland school board prioritizes capital improvements

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com A little more than $1 million was spent on capital improvements this year throughout the Kaneland School District, while a proposal for $1.35 million in additional improvements for 2017 was discussed during the district’s Board of Education meeting Nov. 14.

Completed projects include sealcoating at Blackberry Elementary School, McDole Elementary School and Kaneland High School; gym floor replacement at Blackberry Creek Elementary School; concrete replacement in the front entryway of John Shields Elementary School; and tennis court repairs, roof replacement in the B hallway, classroom furniture replacement, new band uniforms and a new phone system at Kaneland High School.

Julie-Ann Fuchs, associate superintendent, and Mark Payton, director of buildings and grounds, discussed how they visited with each school’s administrator to review the completed improvements and evaluate the status of each school building and its grounds, and to discuss their needs for the future.

“This is our fourth attempt at bringing you a long-range plan,” Fuchs

“The hallway lockers at the high school are in serious need of lock replacement.”

Mark Payton Director of buildings and grounds

said. “We believe that the process is working well. We visited the schools, talked to administrators and shared with them what our ideas are and they shared with us what we don’t know, and together we came up with priorities and needs for each building.”

The most costly needs identified for next year involve replacing carpet at John Stewart and John Shields elementary schools, with an estimate of $500,000, as well as the replacement of the track surface at the high school, which is considered an extremely high priority because the current track surface is a safety issue. The track estimate also was $500,000.

Less expensive projects for 2017 include installing a partition wall in a classroom at McDole; resurfacing the tennis courts at Harter Middle School;

and replacing the classroom furniture and large band equipment, upgrading lockers with new locks and purchasing a driver’s education vehicle at the high school.

“The hallway lockers at the high school are in serious need of lock replacement, and the estimated cost is about $30,000,” Payton said.

The capital improvement plan didn’t just detail 2017, it extended through 2021 with district estimates ranging from $555,000 to $6,755,000 annually for the next six years.

In other financial news, the board approved the 2016 tax levy of $43,374,85, which is about $622,000 more than the 2015 extension of 1.46 percent. This is the approximate amount of money that the property tax payers will have to pay to the school district.

Preventing bullying, harassment

National reports of harassment and bullying in schools, especially those directed at minorities, Muslims and LGBT students, caught the attention of Kaneland School District board member Peter Lopatin.

Lopatin asked his peers to consider reviewing the district’s bullying and harassment policies.

“With the increase in harassment and bullying that’s occurring in schools across the country, I would like to see if we could at least get a report on what we’re doing here,” Lopatin said. “I’d like to review our current bullying and harassment policies and everything we’re doing to ensure kids K-12 are in a safe environment.”

No incidents have been cited at any of the Kaneland schools.

Board member Ryan Kerry said he was open to a discussion.

“If you want to discuss it, I’d be happy to discuss,” he said. “That’s why we here.”

Lopatin emphasized there’s some “unhealthy stuff going on [across the nation],” and he wants to make sure the district is not just prepared to react to confrontations but also is doing its best to stop them before they can occur.

“There’s a lot of fear and there’s a lot of things that have happened at other schools,” Lopatin said. “I would just feel better if we had some kind of an update on how the district is looking at that, make sure we’re preserving a healthy environment for the kids. I know harassing and bullying is taken very seriously here. I just want to know that we’re staying on top of it.”

My earliest memory of watching the Chicago Cubs was going to a game in the mid-1980s with a friend and her family. Through the years, I remember watching Mark Grace, Rick Sutcliffe, Andre Dawson and Ryne Sandberg. I was in the bleachers as Ryno rounded Wrigley for a final time in 1997.

As an adult, Wrigley Field was a haven for my friends, family and me, even living within a mile of the stadium for a few years in my 20s.

Watching Game 7 of the World Series with my mom and my husband was a dream come true. We screamed in the middle of my mom’s living room. It was a moment I’ll never forget.

Unfortunately, my schedule didn’t allow me to travel into Chicago for the victory parade and rally Nov. 4, but I did get to feel like I was part of the excitement for a short time as I photographed fans boarding trains early that morning in Elburn and Geneva.

Know more Brian Larsen’s light show will go from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 5 to 11:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The home is at 42W891 Beith Road in Campton Hills.

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com CAMPTON HILLS – Brian Larsen’s light show will continue – but with shorter music and lights cycles and assistance from traffic control officers – as he and Campton Hills officials agreed on details last week.

The shorter show and traffic control was negotiated so village trustees would not pass an ordinance banning vehicles from slowing, stopping or parking on Beith and Anderson roads and risk getting a $75 ticket.

“Hopefully, this will clear some things up. This shortening of the show will alleviate a lot of the traffic jams, [but] I can’t verify that,” Campton Hills Police Chief Dan Hoffman said. “Our officers are going to monitor it.”

Larsen’s light show, at his house, 42W891 Beith Road in Campton Hills, was 90 minutes long and coordinated with music, Larson said. This will be the 11th year of the show.

Shaw Media file photo

The lights on Brian Larsen’s home dance to the beat of holiday music during a recent Christmas season. Larsen’s light show will continue – but with shorter music and lights cycles and assistance from traffic control officers – as he and Campton Hills officials recently agreed on details.

This year, the show will be shortened to 25 minutes and will feature a medley of seasonal songs interspersed with quotes from holiday movies, Larsen said.

“I hired a DJ to blend the songs together – everyone’s favorite songs,” Larsen said. “And Christmas movie quotes between each song. It’s a fun show; people really enjoy it.”

The show starts on Thanksgiving

and ends on New Year’s Day, Larsen said.

The light show will go from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 5 to 11:30 p.m. Friday through Sunday, officials said.

Larsen agreed to pay for two off-duty officers to provide traffic control from 7 to 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving and Christmas, on Fridays and Saturdays, and daily from Dec. 19 through Dec.

30 when children are on break from school, officials said.

One flagger will be near Anderson and Beith roads, and the second will be near the Larsen home. The flaggers will allow traffic to stop from the east and west to move around those vehicles stopped in the eastbound lane, officials said.

Westbound traffic will not be allowed to stop at all, officials said.

Larsen estimated it would cost him about $6,000 to pay for traffic control – which is about what he raised in a GoFundMe campaign.

Larsen also will put out signage directing motorists to the light show, or away from it, to mitigate the traffic jams of past years, Hoffman said.

Ambush bug sneaks way into grasshopper’s home “Whoops!”

That one-word exclamation was all I could muster when I realized what I’d done.

The mistake, though small by human measures, was of great magnitude for my young charges – a whole bunch of bouncing baby eastern lubber grasshoppers. Over the past few days I’d seen them through eclosion – the fancy word for hatching – and had watched protectively as they’d shed their first exoskeletons, eaten their first solid food and taken their first hops.

Oh, sure, we had a few bumps along the way. I accidentally squished one with a book. And I had to rescue three others that got stuck on some tape on the lid of their enclosure. But by and large we were about to declare our latest attempt at grasshopper-rearing a success.

Then it happened.

Or, rather, HE happened.

An ambush bug of the genus Phymata appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

Bugs don’t have lips so they can’t smile, but if they did, I’m sure this guy would have been grinning from antenna to antenna. We found him lurking in the shadows at the bottom of the cage, the insect equivalent of a kid in a candy store or – more accurately – a fox in a hen house.

Ambush bugs, as their name suggests, are predators that take their arthropod prey by surprise. Their intricate coloration allows them to blend in amid the leaves and flowers where they lie in wait for their quarry, while enlarged forelimbs let them hold on with a powerful death grip.

Like their larger cousins the assassin bugs, they possess piercing and sucking mouthparts that they

Superb camouflage coloration combined with strong raptorial forelegs and toxic saliva make the ambush bug a formidable predator of insects visiting fall flowers.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto use to inject a potent combination of compounds that both paralyze and predigest the hapless prey. They then insert those same mouthparts to slurp their meal – not unlike drinking a protein shake through a straw.

Awesome, in a macabre yet wondrous way.

Frankly, I’d welcome an ambush bug just about anywhere, except the nursery tank of the grasshoppers we’ve been trying to propagate for years.

Now is as good a time as any to mention that this turn of events was completely my fault. With our prevailing mild temperatures has come an extended growth and blooming period for many of our local wildflowers. Hoping to supplement the baby lubbers’ diet of romaine lettuce, apple slices, rolled oats and dog kibble with some fresh asters – plants that also provide sturdy stalks for climbing – I’d gotten into the habit of clipping a few stems every day and placing them in the lubber tank.

A really cool caterpillar that looked an awful lot like a bird dropping came in by accident one day. Rather than taking its appearance as a warning to check for other possible hitchhikers, I

LUTHERAN

instead took its picture.

If I’d chosen to examine the leaves, or looked at the seed heads a little closer, I might have realized sooner that the caterpillar wasn’t the only uninvited guest. But, no, I just watched, blithely unaware, as the tiny hoppers frolicked amid the jungle gym of greenery – mere centimeters from the deadly but unseen predator.

Things could have been different, too, if the ambush bug had a little more luck on his side. Male Phymata are distinctly smaller than females and will often piggyback upon one and help themselves to a meal she has captured. Maybe, just maybe, I would have been able to spot a twosome (over even a threesome, as these bugs aren’t shy) hanging out on an aster bloom.

The predator may have one other wrinkle to contend with: Adult lubbers are known to exude a toxic defense chemical that’s pretty effective against vertebrate predators. I don’t know if lubber nymphs do the same nor whether ambush bugs are susceptible.

For now, my plan is to wait and see what happens. I’ve got a hunch that the stronger lubbers will prevail while the weaker ones succumb to the strength and guile of little Phymata.

There’s just one problem: His camouflage is so complete, I can’t find him anywhere.

Whoops.

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

DEPENDABLE, PERSONAL SERVICE “Every insurance policy has a number of course, but you are YOU—a person, a friend, a neighbor.”—to Kane County Mutual Insurance Company.

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.

this is a way of modernizing to better meet everyone’s needs.”

Ideally, a new community center would open in Sugar Grove at a new location but one that’s smaller than the current site. It wouldn’t need to house staff. Bowe said they could work elsewhere.

“Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois would be looking to rent a space in a visible area but [with] smaller square footage than the existing building,” she said. “ The Long Range Property Task Force will be looking at areas throughout the council to establish the community centers. One could very possibly be in the Sugar Grove community.”

Such a community center likely would have a store, meeting room and small staff workspace. For larger training sessions, space would need to rented or session would need to take place at a camp property or program center.

“Much of our staff doesn’t need a working space and to maintain these older buildings is expensive,” Bowe said. “We’d rather be able to redirect our funds and create a better experience for the Girl Scouts. We believe that makes the most sense.”

SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Girl Scout troop will soon have to change how and where they operate.

The service center and council store at 200 New Bond St., Sugar Grove, located in the Prestbury subdivision, is being sold.

The center, which has a staff of 16, provides troops with a place for training, meetings, equipment purchase/ rental, uniforms, badges, cookies and other sale items, including camping supplies.

“This is news to me,” said Sugar Grove resident Megan Jones, leader of Daisy Troop 2099. “I was just there last week and set up our meeting schedule through May of next year.”

In September, the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois’ board approved recommendations by its Long Range Property Planning Task Force that included the closure of three service centers in Sugar Grove, Freeport and Elgin.

In addition, the board approved the creation of community centers in place of the service centers. While the Sugar Grove property is going to be

put on the market, that doesn’t mean the village won’t ultimately get a new community center.

“I received a long email on Oct. 21, but I haven’t gotten around to reading all of it,” said Heidi Lendi, leader of Girl Scout Troop 1177. “Now that I’m looking at it, I see it says something about putting the building on the market discreetly without for sale signs next year. I’ve got a training there on Nov. 16, so I’ll probably find out more then.”

Having to go elsewhere for training and rentals may be less convenient, but the possibility of having to find another location to have troop meetings would present a larger dilemma.

Lendi doesn’t have her meetings at the service center, but Jones does and potentially would need to find a new location.

“When we first released some of the [information] to the membership, we received some calls and some people were panicking about selling the service centers,” said Meghan Bowe, marketing manager for the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois. “The task force conducted a survey and determined what they thought was most important for the organization, and

Sugar Grove reports 12 more motor vehicle burglaries

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com SUGAR GROVE – Twelve motor vehicle burglaries were reported in Sugar Grove between Oct. 28 and 29.

This comes after 10 burglaries were reported Oct. 14 in the same town, according to police reports.

The most recent burglaries occurred in the 100 block of Arbor Avenue; 200 block of Bastian Drive; zero to 100 block of Meadows Drive; 100 block of Neil Road; 100 block of Calkins Drive; 200 block of Maple Street; 100 block of Cross Street; 100 block of Snow Street; and 100 block of Joy Street, reports stated.

All of the vehicles burglarized during those three dates were left unlocked overnight, Sugar Grove Police Chief Pat Rollins said, noting that the

burglaries occurred between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Items most recently taken included an iPod, Beats headphones, mini cigars, sunglasses, a laptop, wallets with credit cards, phone chargers, a Garmin GPS, pills, loose change, gift cards and a Samsung cellphone, reports stated.

Rollins said the Sugar Grove Police Department is “working vigorously pursuing some individuals” who are believed to be in connection with the burglaries.

“We are following up with the victims as well,” he said.

Rollins said multiple police agencies in northern Illinois have been dealing with the same motor vehicle burglary issue.

“It’s widespread,” he said.

NEWS BRIEF St. Charles police conclude 6-day enforcement period

ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles Police Department completed a six-day enforcement period Nov. 2 in connection with the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket traffic safety campaigns.

The extra patrol assignments included a roadside safety check Oct. 29. The roadside safety check was on South Randall Road, south of West Main Street/Route 64. The location was chosen because South Randall Road is consistently among the top crash locations in St. Charles,

according to a news release.

During the enforcement period, St. Charles officers made one arrest for driving with a suspended license; issued four citations for uninsured motorists, five citations for speeding and four citations for other violations; and issued 16 warning tickets. A total of 120 vehicles were checked during the roadside safety check resulting in no DUI arrests, one arrest for driving while license suspended and four citations for operating an uninsured motor vehicle, the release stated.

from asking questions about other sexual activity.

Tegeler also ruled that a text message R.P. sent to Buhay could be explored, noting that earlier court filings show R.P. used Google Voice and that the words that came out in the text were not what he said.

“R.P. told [an investigator] that he said, ‘I will not lie about what you did to me,’” Tegeler said.

The Google Voice translation turned the “not” into “n.” in the text, Tegeler said.

Tegeler set Buhay’s trial to start March 13.

George Acosta, representing R.P., said each time a continuance is granted, his client’s life, emotional state and schedule are disrupted.

“He has lost a job he just started a

month ago,” Acosta said, referring to the trial that was to have begun Nov. 14 but is now continued to March.

Tegeler said he was aware of the impact to the victim but that he granted the continuance because Buhay’s attorneys needed more time to prepare.

A Kane County grand jury indicted Buhay in December 2015 on 37 counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, three counts of indecent solicitation of a child and one count of indecent solicitation of a child under age 18 to perform an act of sexual penetration, all felonies, in the case of the victim identified as J.H. The grand jury also indicted Buhay in June 2014 on four felony counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, in the case of the victim identified as R.P.

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – The trial for a Sugar Grove man who was indicted on multiple charges of felony predatory criminal sexual assault of a child was scheduled for March 13.

Noel F. Buhay, 49, was charged in 2013 with sexually assaulting a boy who was 7 at the time, and then in 2014, he was additionally charged with sexually assaulting another boy who was 10 at the time, court records show.

The court is treating them as companion cases but proceeding to trial on the 2014 case first.

Buhay’s attorney Michael Riedy and assistant state’s attorneys Lori Schmidt and Andrew Whitfield sparred over legal issues connected with the

case Nov. 15.

Riedy sought to be able to impeach the honesty of the victim in the case, identified in court records as R.P., who was 10 at the time of the alleged offense but is now Noel F. Buhay 22 years old.

A foster child, R.P. lived with Buhay from January to May 2004 when he was removed after asserting he was kicked and punched by Buhay on May 19 or 20, Riedy said.

State investigators could not find evidence of bruises, and R.P. later reported that the abuse was sexual, Riedy said.

Kane County Circuit Court Judge D.J. Tegeler ruled that R.P. could be questioned but that Riedy had to follow rape shield rules, which precludes him

• LIGHT

Continued from page 11 The problem, Hoffman said, is the traffic jam that results from motorists blocking up Beith Road to watch the show. It is not only a danger to the motorists, he said, but posed a difficulty for police, fire or ambulance vehicles to get through if there was an emergency.

“It’s a public safety issue and a convenience issue,” Hoffman said. “People are stopping … to watch the show, and they block both lanes of traffic.”

Village officials provided a photo of Beith Road, taken at 6:31 p.m. Dec. 21, 2015, where motorists lined up to see the light show provided a light show of their own: a solid white line of headlights on Beith Road.

Beith is a two-lane rural road without a shoulder and no street lights, and the backup causes other motorists to drive in the opposite lane to navigate through, adding to the risk of a crash or injury, Hoffman said.

“We lived with it in the past,” Hoffman said. “Let’s hope we came up with something so people can travel in safety there.”

Another issue was the GoFundMe page that Larsen put up to help him pay for traffic control so he could keep his light show. Initially, he called it “Help Save Christmas,” but he then

(630) 556-3755 46W637 US Highway 30, Sugar Grove

pulled back from that.

On Oct. 31, Larsen wrote on his GoFundMe page that he “made a mistake posting this campaign as ‘Help Save Christmas.’”

Larsen also forwarded his post in an email to Village President Harry Blecker and interim Village Administrator Ron Searl.

“That was not correct, Christmas doesn’t need to be saved,” Larsen’s post and email stated. “I should have called this ‘Help Keep Family Traditions Alive.’ I also want to reiterate that this is my choice to pay for traffic control. The village of Campton Hills is not trying to shut the light show down and would not expect taxpayer dollars to pay for this. They want it to be safe, and I agree 100 percent.”

“One lady made a good point – you don’t need to ‘save’ Christmas,” Larsen said. “Christmas is Christmas and does not need to be saved. It just dawned on me that was a dumb statement for me to say.”

As of Nov. 2, Larsen’s GoFundMe campaign had raised enough money, and if there is any left over, he would donate it to the Alzheimer’s Association and Blackhawks charities.”

“We want to continue this for the community and enjoy making everybody’s holiday special,” Larsen wrote on the GoFundMe page. “We hope to keep this free show going for all and for many years to come.”

To the editor: “I Love A Ball Game” I love the excitement of a ballgame, I love all the players, know them by name.

I love just sitting in the fresh air, Watching a game with not even a care.

Where age and sex doesn’t matter at all, Where people scramble to catch a foul ball.

I love all the vendors who sell the beer, If I want Cracker Jack or Red Hots, they’re always near.

I’m thrilled when our players make the hall of fame, Such as Ernie Banks, just to mention a name.

I just love to watch our team playing ball, Hey, hey, I love the Cubs ... most of all.

Hiking with friends at Starved Rock State Park I would just like to proudly state that I voted in my first presidential election. I got to repeatedly turn a dial to vote for candidates, and – in the end – I walked away with an “I voted” sticker. With that little note out of the way, I’m here to talk about hiking. With this month being such a non-November month for weather, my two friends and I journeyed to Starved Rock recently on a gorgeous 60-degree day.

My two friends and I had planned on going hiking since early summer, but we never got around to it between all our busy schedules. As each month passed and it got deeper into fall, we all just assumed the colder weather would set in and we would never get a chance to go hiking. Fast forward, and with November still being just a sweatshirt-worthy type of month, the three of us figured out a day when we all had nothing going on to travel to Starved Rock.

We began our day at 8 in the morning, when we went to Cracker Barrel for fried apples and some biscuits and

With an entire store to browse, we were kept busy just glancing at Christmas decorations and stuffed animals. Once we got seated, we devoured some comfort food and got back on the road. Nearly two hours later we arrived at out destination.

We didn’t get lost once driving to Starved Rock. I’d just like to take in this moment right now and process how the three of us managed to pull that off. When we arrived at Starved Rock, we had to park in the overflow parking lot, barely finding a spot.

It was clear that although it was November, the beautiful weather had people coming out in droves. Starved Rock was most likely way more crowded than it normally is for No-

There were families, couples and an enormous number of dogs packed along the hiking trails.

The day involved the three of us exploring various paths, so we basically had to walk up and down stair after stair. Climbing rocks was also a huge part of our adventurous day. We climbed steep areas that I didn’t know I had the bravery in me to climb. I

also walked away at the end of the day with dozens of new photos. Some were of flowers and trees, and others were of my friends and I posing and being silly.

The entire day was perfect, at least for me. I woke up and ate Cracker Barrel for breakfast, I got to jam out with my friends in the car as we listened to some danceable songs, and the hiking adventure was a success. It was a lovely time just getting outside and exploring, enjoying some fresh air and being surrounded by good friends.

If you ask me, everyone should take advantage of the perfect weather now because who knows what it will be like in a month or two?

Members of Kaneland’s baseball team snack on doughnuts Nov. 10 at the Elburn Food Pantry. The Knights were there to volunteer their time unloading a delivery of donated food before heading to school on a late arrival day.

Knights take time to help Elburn Food Pantry

By SKIP STOLLEY editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Some heavy lifting is done by most sports teams during their offseasons. For the Kaneland baseball team, that lifting isn’t just done in the weight room.

Several times each year the players volunteer at the Elburn Food Pantry off-loading and shelving eight hundred to a thousand pounds of products from the Northern Illinois Food Bank on Thursdays. That almost always includes the November and December monthly food bank deliveries to the Pantry’s Elburn Community Center location – the largest deliveries of the year with additional holiday meal boxes that include a full-size frozen turkey. The team helps off-load other monthly deliveries on an as-needed basis.

The Knights players volunteer their time on Thursdays, when they have a late arrival day at school, though during their most recent volunteer day on Nov. 10, the delivery truck was late and they had to depart the Food Pantry before it arrived. Still, the Knights rel-

“It’s a lot of fun and something we can do together as a team off the field to help our local community. The whole team usually turns out to help, from seniors to freshmen.”

Preston Harris, Kaneland senior ish their time spent volunteering there.

“It’s a lot of fun and something we can do together as a team off the field to help our local community,” senior Preston Harris said. “The whole team usually turns out to help, from seniors to freshmen.”

Because the volunteering effort is a team experience, senior Luke Calabrese believes it could help the team chemistry on a squad that has plenty of talent expected to be in the mix for the 2017 season.

“We think we have the pitching, defense, and hitting we need to win conference and make a deep run in the playoffs this season,” Calabrese said.

The Elburn Food Pantry is open to Kaneland School District residents on Thursdays from 6 to 7 p.m. and serves more than 30 families and some 23 El-

burn Meadows senior citizens. The pantry is supported by donations and staffed by nearly a hundred volunteers.

Pantry director Rita Burnham got involved through her church, Grace Lutheran in Lily Lake, about 15 years ago. The pantry relies on volunteers to make it work, especially late in the year when Thanksgiving and other holiday meals come in.

“We don’t do any fundraising,” Burnham said. “We operate the pantry strictly with donations from local residents, the Elburn Lions Club, the Girl Scouts and local churches.”

The pantry purchases canned goods and other shelf-stable items from the Northern Illinois Food Bank for about nine cents on the dollar.

Marty Bradley, a longtime pantry volunteer, goes to Jewel-Osco each

week and purchases meat, produce, and bakery items to add to its distributions. Jewel-Osco also generously donates a large variety of items to the pantry on a weekly basis.

Volunteer Mel Pohlman usually leads the lifting and ferrying of the monthly pallet of product from the Community Center parking lot, through its north entrance, across the gym, and up and down hallway ramps in the old Elburn High School to room No. 7, a former classroom where the food pantry is located. It usually takes him 60 to 90 minutes.

Kaneland’s baseball team began assisting Pohlman with off-loading its largest deliveries about three years ago at the suggestion of Clare Laudont, whose son was then a member of the team.

“Coach Brian Aversa thought it was a great idea,” Laudont said, “and suggested to the team it as a community service project.”

Since then, the Knights have provided 15 to 20 able bodies to service the 7:30 a.m. deliveries and complete the work in about half the time it takes Pohlman to do it on his own.

He spent four years as an assistant coach for the men’s team starting in 1986 and was head coach for the Spartans’ women’s team for four seasons before leading the men for 22 years.

So it was no surprise that AU celebrated the career of the Sugar Grove resident and longtime coach in a ceremony on Nov. 11.

James Lancaster then spoke at the end of the event, thanking those in attendance for his coaching career and the off-the-court honors he earned.

Lancaster guided AU’s women to a 58-42 overall re-

cord from 1990 to 1994, including a 22-5 mark and a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament in the 1993-94 season.

Lancaster won 10 conference Coach of the Year titles while his Spartan men made nine D-III tournament appearances. Seventeen of 32 members of the AU men’s basketball 1,000-point club were achieved under Lancaster’s leadership, and he surpassed the 400-win mark on Jan. 30, 2016.

ST. CHARLES – Nearly every successful high school athletic team has to start at the bottom before it reaches the top.

Such is the case for Burlington Central’s girls swimming team.

Comprised solely of freshman swimmers, the Rockets scored one point and had to settle for 12th place at the St. Charles North sectional meet on Nov. 12, but that’s not to say there weren’t successful swims.

Mia Kubiuk earned BC’s point at the meet by placing 12th in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 1:03.66.

In a field loaded with experienced teams and talented individuals, the Rockets avoided finishing last in every event.

Kubiuk (58.33 seconds in the 100 freestyle) and Emily Stark (2:08.69 in the 200 freestyle) added 16th-place finishes. Stark was 18th in the 100 breaststroke (1:16.38) while Mia Castle (28.61 in the 50 freestyle) and Maggie Ames (1:10.23 in the 100 backstroke) finished 19th in their events.

St. Charles North won the sectional title with 308.5 Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com points, finishing ahead of St. Charles East (244) and Bartlett Burlington Central’s Mia Kubiuk swims the 100-yard butterfly Nov. 12 during the sectional meet at St. Charles North.

Batavia’s Kunert on track for racing success

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – Before he could legally drive on Illinois’ roadways, Austin Kunert already was behind the wheel.

The Batavia High School junior grew up watching NASCAR races with his family, and he got the itch to get behind the wheel after going to a dirt track race years ago.

“I asked my dad the first time if I could race and he said no,” Kunert said. “I kept asking and asking until he finally said yes.”

Kunert got his start doing indoor go-kart racing. He then transitioned to outdoor kart racing at the Kankakee Speedway. His 2016 season in the Champion Racing Association JEGS series was his best season to date.

After starting the season slow, Kunert notched five top-10 finishes in the final six races of the season.

In the final race of the year, the Win-

chester 100 on Oct. 7, Kunert placed second to Travis Braden, a student at West Virginia University. The strong finish in the final race vaulted Kunert into second in the final CRA-JEGS standings behind part-time NASCAR Truck Series racer Cody Coughlin, who is part of the Joe Gibbs Racing Development program.

“I had a lot of consistent finishes,” Kunert said.

Sponsors Blue Demon Welding, a Geneva company owned by Brian DePaul, and Custom Companies, Kings Express Cartage and X-treme Graphics help Kunert maintain his car and enter races. The sponsorships and new spotter Josh Nelms, a CRA-JEGS all-star competitor, contributed to the success this season.

“He helped me out and we got a lot better as a [racing] team,” Kunert said of Nelms. “He helped us adjust during races and made me more confident. At new tracks I didn’t know, he gave us a

chance to win every time.

“He coaches me and tells me the fastest line around the track.”

Next season Kunert will move up and race at a higher level on occasion – “It’s the same cars but 100 more laps,” he said – with the goal of reaching the CRA-ARCA series, where Braden and Coughlin do most of their racing, by 2018.

While horsepower and smart racing can lead to success on the track, there is a physical element to racing. Just as baseball and basketball players work year-round to prepare for the season, Kunert does the same.

“I tend to run a lot to keep myself in shape so I can take the heat in a car that’s 110 degrees,” Kunert said. “I have a racing simulator at home that’s just like real racing, and I spend a lot of time in that.

“I’m usually running three times a week and in the simulator three times Austin Kunert greets fans before a race at Grundy Speedway in Morris. a week.”

Winter Market takes root at Gaetano’s

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The Batavia Farmers’ Market has come in from the cold to stretch out the summertime joy of locally sourced edibles and artisan provisions. The market organized by Batavia MainStreet on North River Street again finds a Saturday morning refuge at Gaetano’s restaurant, which has cooked up some changes of its own.

From 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays through May, Winter Market patrons can visit the eatery at North River and Wilson streets.

“We scramble on Saturday mornings to get everything set up just so,” restaurant owner Wendy DiBenedetto

of Batavia said about moving tables aside to accommodate about 10 participants in the market. “It’s been really great fun. There’s wonderful vendors that are here.”

She said people offer everything from poultry, including turkey for Thanksgiving, to meats and sometimes cheese, Katic Bread specialties

Instead, we enjoyed the side salad with mixed greens and a house-made blue cheese dressing, plus the burger’s hot and tasty fries and coleslaw, and the garlic mashed potatoes that proved addictive alongside my chicken and ribs.

Our server said salmon prepared in a variety of styles is another favorite at The Lodge on 64, along with the hand-cut black Angus steaks.

WASCO – The stars shone brighter over The Lodge on 64 after our leisurely drive into the countryside just west of downtown Wasco.

Nestled along a treeline, the expansive restaurant-andbar operation sits apart from civilization.

With a little imagination, the A-frame architecture feels like a wilderness retreat. Inviting dining rooms and stone fireplaces await, and there are rustic decor touches from the long, wooden bar to wagon-wheel light fixtures, beams overhead and saddles on the walls.

Scattered flat-screen TVs are unobtrusive but tuned to games. A great selection of country tunes played, and the bar is home to weekly live entertainment.

Our attentive server brought us a loaf of bread still warm from the oven, which had the perfect chew to the crust. After slathering on the whipped butter, we had to remind ourselves not to spoil our appetites.

The Lodge on 64 made my entree choice easy with The Combo, featuring the rotisserie chicken that’s a specialty at the restaurant, paired with barbecue baby back ribs.

The ribs were delicious, but the chicken was spectacular, with its crispy skin and juicy meat.

I selected the original-style half chicken, but it also comes barbecued or Grecian. The menu notes the kitchen only uses organic chicken, free of antibiotics and hormones and never frozen. Also available from the wood-burning rotisserie spit is slow-roasted duck served with orange sauce and dressing.

My dining companion opted for the Bulleit Whiskey burger, and after tasting it, I was happy we had decided to share all the entrees.

‘Cooking Solo’ is full of inspired recipes TOM’S COOKBOOK LIBRARY Tom Witom “Cooking Solo: The Joy of Cooking for Yourself” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) comes to the aid of countless American adults who live alone and fend for themselves in the kitchen.

This down-to-earth cookbook by New York-based food writer and pastry chef Klancy Miller comes with 100 pitch-perfect recipes that go far beyond the notion that food is just fuel.

Miller’s doable recipes, which don’t require special technical skills, reflect travels to Tahiti and France, where she earned a Diplome de Patisserie at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.

The author says her recipes add up to satisfying meals.

“Cooking for yourself is about more than avoiding endless leftovers and sky-high bills from too many dinners,” Miller said. “It’s about eating the good food you deserve.”

See the example for Soy-Lime Beet-Stirfry – a version Miller tweaked from a recipe by chef Christophe Pelé, formerly of La Bigarrade in Paris.

Other chapters include “Eat a Proper Breakfast,” “Take a Lunch,” “Entertaining Friends” and “Meals with Meat.”

Journalist Tom Witom, who lives in

SOY-LIME BEEF STIRFRY Makes 1 or 2 servings 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon soy sauce 3 garlic cloves, minced 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced Juice of 1 lime 3 cups arugula Salt 1/2 pound flank or other beef steak (preferably pasture-raised), sliced across the grain into thin strips.

Grated zest of 1 lemon In medium bowl, combine sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and lime juice. Set aside. Arrange arugula on dinner plate and set aside.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pinch or two of salt over beef and add it to skillet. Cook it, stirring, until done to your liking, 2 to 4 minutes.

Use tongs to arrange beef over arugula. Sprinkle zest over meat. Whisk garlic-ginger mixture until well combined and pour it over all. Serve immediately.

• MARKET

Continued from page 26 and the Mighty Greens farm’s microgreens and vegetables, noting Gaetano’s uses the microgreens in its kitchen.

The restaurant is named after executive chef Gaetano DiBenedetto, her husband, who also operates a namesake restaurant in Forest Park.

“When we’re only open for dinner, we have our restaurant free during the day,” Wendy DiBenedetto said.

“We offered [our space] for whichever purveyors wanted to come inside, and we set up a farmers market for them on the main floor of the restaurant.”

She said they’ve offered the space for the market since opening in 2014, and people started requesting items created in-house such as Gaetano’s tomato sauce and pesto.

“And before you know it, we started to have all these different things – homemade salami, homemade sausage,” Wendy DiBenedetto said.

“We do everything from scratch here in the restaurant. Being parents and being a mom, I remember how hard it was when my kids were littler to get them a fresh meal with homemade ingredients.

“We started to do a fresh garbanzo bean spread … that we serve [with] homemade focaccia when you sit down and order dinner,” she said, citing ingredients such as roasted garlic, [cheese] and extra-virgin olive oil as a healthful alternative to butter.

Until now, the restaurant also sold additional Italian edibles in a deli-like space set up in the basement only on Saturday mornings in tandem with the farmers market, moving the downstairs dining room seating aside each week and then putting it all back.

Wendy DiBenedetto said they purchased the building in July and

She said the added upstairs space has big windows and high ceilings, plus a lounge with a bar ideal for cocktails or a small plate of charcuterie.

The new dining area has led to expanded hours for The Market at Gaetano’s on the lower level, which in a few weeks should be open every day except Sunday and will offer the chef’s housemade sausage and artisan meats, fresh pasta, antipasti, olives, wines and dinners to-go, plus panini, sandwiches and soups among the expanded offerings. It’s accessible from its own entrance on Wilson Street.

“We also make something called chocolate salami,” she said of the look-alike. “It’s not meat. It’s dessert.

Homemade chocolate with hazelnuts inside, dusted with powdered sugar.”

As for the farmers market, Wendy DiBenedetto said, “We want everyone to do well,” adding she and her family are happy they moved to Batavia five years ago, a classic small town where people know each other.

“Our kids love it. We just want to give back as much as we can. The market is a very special time of the week for everybody to come together.”

Holiday in the Grove to feature breakfast, gifts and sugar

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

The Herald / KCChronicle.com • Thursday, November 17, 2016

SUGAR GROVE – Santa Claus is coming to Sugar Grove, and he’s bringing along Mrs. Claus to join in on the festive, holiday fun.

The annual Holiday in the Grove event will be Dec. 3 at multiple venues, although the majority of activities will take place at the Sugar Grove Township Community Building, 141 S. Main St. “We’re ready for people to start signing up and buying breakfast, and you can do that easily online,” said Marguerite Ledone, president of Holiday in the Grove. “We’re also looking for sponsors. This way you can get in the spirit by helping make Holiday in the Grove a huge success this year.

We’re a not-for-profit group made up of volunteers, and with support we can keep this event going for free. The only things we charge for is the breakfast and for gift purchases.”

Always right after Thanksgiving and a few weeks ahead of the craziness and busy social events of Christmas, Holiday in the Grove once again will offer a wonderful opportunity for families to create unforgettable memories.

“Santa is staying until 1 p.m. rather than noon, so we’ll keep the Community Building open longer,” Ledone said.

“It’s a friendly event for the whole family with a lot of fun. It’s a great way to kick off the holiday season, especially for the Sugar Grove residents.”

The Sugar Grove Fire Department’s staff will once again take off their hard hats and protective pants and don aprons in the kitchen to prepare a fresh, hot breakfast of pancakes, sausage, fruit and applesauce. You can register online for breakfast at www. holidayinthegrove.com with seating times at 8, 9 and 10 a.m.

“You don’t have to have breakfast

If you go ■ WHAT: Holiday in the Grove ■ WHEN: 7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 3 ■ WHERE: Sugar Grove Community

Main St. ■ INFO: www.holidayinthegrove.com to see Santa, but if you want to have a good breakfast, we hope you will join us,” Ledone said. “There will be plenty of activities, games and prizes, and you can come and meet Santa and get a free picture.”

Parents also are invited to also supply the name of their children so that they receive a special letter from Santa later this holiday season.

Attendees also may visit the Mrs. Claus Sweet Shoppe at the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for cookies, candy, fudge and other sweets. Who said there was anything wrong with washing down sugary, syrupy pancakes with more sweets, right? Just ask Buddy the Elf. Mrs. Claus also will be busy at Kaneland John Shields Elementary School with crafts from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and cookie decorating from 1 to 2 p.m.

Finally, one of the most unique things about Holiday in the Grove is that there are holiday shopping opportunities at the elementary school.

With a variety of crafts and other distinctive items for sale, past participants have used this as an opportunity for their children as well as themselves to shop for others, especially in finding that special little something for a loved one.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Pro football veterans Dan Fouts and Matt Leinart voice their animated likenesses in the new episode “Dad Behavior,” which sees Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta) relying on an app to fortify his relationship with Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright). Grampa (also voiced by Castellaneta) is stunned to learn that he’ll soon have another child to call his own — very literally.

Julie Kavner and Yeardley Smith also are in the voice cast.

7:30 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles Callen (Chris O’Donnell) questions someone close to home — his father (guest star Daniel J.

Male infertility has variety of causes Dear Dr. K: My wife and I have tried

to get pregnant for over a year. We’re going to be tested soon to see if anything is wrong. I’m worried that the problem lies with me. What are some reasons for a man to be infertile?

Dear Reader: About one in seven couples in the United States are unable to conceive a child after trying for one year.

The infertility is caused either by the man alone (about 40 percent of the time), by the woman alone (about 40 percent of the time) or by both partners (about 20 percent of the time). So it is possible that something about you is responsible for your wife’s difficulty with becoming pregnant.

Male infertility may be caused by a variety of problems: • HORMONAL PROBLEMS. For example, low levels of testosterone (the main male hormone) or thyroid hormone.

• PROBLEMS WITH THE TESTICLES. These include abnormal growth or development, or damage from trauma and infections.

• PROBLEMS WITH THE FLOW OF SPERM. This may include blocked tubes that transport sperm, or problems with ejaculation.

• ABNORMAL SPERM FUNCTION. This may affect the ability of sperm to fertilize an egg.

• EXPOSURE TO TOXINS. Radiation, for example, or industrial chemicals.

• MEDICATIONS AND DRUGS. These include psychiatric medications, alcohol, and anabolic steroids used for bodybuilding.

Your evaluation will likely begin with a semen analysis. This test measures the amount and quality of your semen and the number and quality of sperm. If your semen analysis is normal, you may not need further testing.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff If your semen analysis is abnormal, your doctor will take a complete medical history and test your hormone levels.

The doctor will also perform a physical exam.

He or she will look for evidence of genital infections, blocked sperm tubules in the testes or shrinkage of the testicles.

Particularly if the physical examination indicates there is a problem, various tests often are ordered. You may need an ultrasound of the testicles and scrotum to picture any possible blockages. Your sperm may be tested. The role of the sperm is to swim toward a woman’s egg and to fertilize it.

The ability of the sperm to swim in semen can be studied with a microscope. So can the ability of your sperm to penetrate a hamster egg.

If it can’t, it will likely not be able to penetrate a human egg.

Genetic tests may be performed.

Several gene defects have been identified in recent years. Finally, a biopsy of the testicles may show any of several diseases that impair the production of sperm.

If there is a specific reason for your infertility, it may be possible to treat. If you have no treatment options, consider assisted-reproduction techniques, such as artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization.

Problems with fertility often have a solution – with a healthy baby as a result.

Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School.

PUZZLE SOLUTION

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I’m a divorced and remarried Jeanne mother of two Phillips adult children.

Both live on their own and have decent jobs. After the divorce, I managed to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table and provide college for my children. My ex-husband, their father, sporadically paid child support, which resulted in an arrearage owed for the past nine years. Recently, I received a substantial sum of the balance I was owed for back child support. My dilemma is that my children feel that because their father is having financial problems (finances were always his issue), I should give the money back to him because I am financially secure. Abby, they are ignoring everything I had to do to support them while they were still dependents and my responsibility.

Add into that their health care, extracurricular activities, Christmases and birthdays, etc., when he said he didn’t have money. I feel I have every right to keep the money. I have told this to my kids, but they are mad at me because I can’t seem to get the message across. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. – Flustered in Florida Dear Flustered: You were divorced from this man for good reason. Your responsibility to him ended when the divorce was finalized.

What you have received for shouldering the entire responsibility for raising your children is yours and yours alone. Do not apologize to anyone for what you prefer to do with the money. And for your sake, please don’t allow yourself be trapped or guilted into doing anything against your better judgment.

Dear Abby: I love my sister. She’s well-educated, intelligent and fun, but she has let herself go. We are both in our 60s and, unfortunately, those pesky whiskers are starting to appear on our faces. She recently had surgery and when I visited her, I noticed a lot of hairs sprouting from her chin. I offered to pluck them or take her to a spa and have them removed when she had a facial. She refused!

My friends and I have made a pact to pluck each other’s whiskers if we are ever in a hospital and can’t do it ourselves. Should I just let it go or, the next time I see her, remind her that many people would be put off if they saw her? Or is it just me? – Whiskerless Sister Dear Whiskerless: It’s not “just you.” Depilatories are popular because most American women wouldn’t want to be caught dead with obvious facial hair. Your letter brought back memories, one of which was my mother telling me that her first executive assistant, Katie, had made Mama promise that in the event of Katie’s demise, Mama would bring a razor to the viewing and, while standing at the casket, “whisk” off her mustache so no one would see it. Not knowing your sister, I can’t say whether she was in so much pain from her surgery that she didn’t want to add to it by being plucked. Talk to her again when she’s feeling better and she may offer up her chin. If not, love her the way she is -- fur and all -- because she’s happy that way.

Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I got into a spat three days ago and we haven’t communicated since.

It all started over something very stupid and it got out of control. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know who started the squabble.

I miss my boyfriend, but I don’t want to say “I’m sorry” because I’m afraid he’ll take advantage of me, but eventually I will contact him if I don’t hear from him first.

How long should I wait? – Jan,

Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Tulsa, Okla.

Jan: Wait 10 minutes, and if he

doesn’t contact you within that time, contact him and say that you miss him and that you’re sorry for your part in the squabble. If your boyfriend had asked me that question, I would have given him the same advice.

There’s nothing more foolish than stubbornly refusing to apologize. As you note, people maintain their anger at each other even when they’ve forgotten what they’re angry about. Grudges over nothing at all have been known to last for years. It’s hard to imagine a bigger waste of energy.

It doesn’t matter who apologizes first. What’s important is the rekindling of a wonderful relationship.

Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I are both 18 and have graduated from high school. We have been going together for over three years and we are planning to get married. We both love each other very much and there is little doubt we could make it as husband and wife.

But we do have a disagreement. He wants us to go to Las Vegas to get married and for us not to tell anyone, even our parents.

Then after the ceremony he wants me to return home and live with my parents and he will live with his. We are lucky that we both have jobs. He wants us to save

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace money to buy a house and then in a year announce to the world that we are “an old married couple.”

I don’t like the idea, but I do love this guy with all of my heart and soul and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Please give me your opinion. – Nameless,

Albuquerque, N.M. Nameless: One of the prime

functions of the wedding ceremony is to proudly announce to the world that the bride and groom are united as one family ready to face life’s challenges. It should be a wonderful experience filled with love and happiness shared with family and friends.

Don’t elope. I see no reason to get married, and then hide the fact by living with your respective parents.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 17-year-old girl and I’m very concerned about the quality of movies currently being produced. I’m no prude and I welcome films that shake up the social consciousness, but I strongly protest films that deal with gutter sex, violence, and unbelievable horror and terror.

I’m only a teenager, but I’d like to go on record saying I protest junky, trashy movies. – Toni,

Baltimore, Md. Toni: I agree. The very best

form of protest is economic boycott. Hit the moviemakers in the pocketbook! As long as they make money serving up trash, they will continue the same menu.

Refuse to attend offensive films and encourage your friends to join you in your protest.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a sophomore at a large high school in Philadelphia. The school sponsors event

dances on a Friday or Saturday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and they are well attended.

Only students who attend our school can attend these dances and they must show their student identification cards for entrance.

Teachers and administrators act as chaperones. Two police officers patrol the parking lot to insure that cars are safe and they stay nearby in case they are needed in the dance.

My best friend has attended all four of the dances so far and told me they are a lot of fun and she has made several new friends.

My mom won’t let me attend the dances unless she can also be a chaperone. She talked to our principal and was told in a nice way, “Thanks, but no thanks.” This means that I won’t be allowed to attend any school dances this year.

I understand that you are a former high school principal. Were parents permitted to be dance chaperones at your high school?

If the answer is No, please explain why. – Madison, Brooklyn, N.Y. Madison: Our school district ruled that all chaperones at school dances must be state-credentialed teachers, counselors and administrators. This is because they have the authority to deal with problems that might arise. It would not be wise to place parents in this role.

But parents were welcome to stop by for a short visit as guests.

The maximum length of the visits was 15 minutes. This parent-dance program was well-received by parents and students.

Most parents stopped by for a minute or two just to say hello and the students enjoyed seeing them come and enjoyed seeing them leave.

By JURA KONCIUS The Washington Post

• Choose furniture before painting walls: While walls are an important

ingredient in design, I recommend waiting on paint colors for the majority of the house until you’ve made some decisions about furnishings. You don’t want to paint twice.

• Decorating for the seasons: I’m a big believer in layering. A layered approach helps you build warmth and take it

away as needed. When I was growing up, four seasons meant four looks in the house. Today, I think fewer rules apply whether you’re West or East Coast. Fall does not necessarily mean burgundy.

It can mean grass green, regardless of weather temperatures. I recommend you cast off the notion of seasonal aesthetics; think about what’s practical for you and your family and try living as though there are no seasons.

• Fresh color combinations for a bedroom: The first question I would

ask is, “What effect are you going for: calm and serene, vibrant and cheerful, or cocooning and moody?” Examples of serene would be aqua, gray and ivory. Cheerful could be grass green and coral. Moody could be deep navy

paired with camel.

• Painting wood stairs: Painting over wood in a stairwell is a very inexpensive way to create big impact. I’m a big fan of contrast on stairs. I love black treads with contrast on the riser, which could be white or could be a color, or several different colors, for that matter. That’s your place to play.

• Accent options for neutral colors:

There are so many great contrasts to neutrals that allow you to create just about any effect. The effect you want to create is personal, but some of my favorites are greige with brownish pinks, which is calm and feminine. I love camels mixed with hot coral for something more lively. I think grays and taupes pair beautifully with pale aqua.

Mudroom: A safe place for you, boots, food

By STEPHANIE BRICK Special to The Washington Post Mudrooms are the ugly ducklings of the home. Purely functional, the dirt and sloppiness are so integrated and expected in this room that “mud” is a part of its very name. … For so long, mudrooms were hidden behind closed doors, full of dirt, disorganization and shame; but the ugly duckling has grown up, and this swan is ready to dazzle with everything it can do.

During the past 100 years, the scale, purpose and design of rooms across the home have changed. Similar to kitchens and bathrooms, mudrooms started out simply fulfilling an unglamorous need. But now they are one of the most egressed, dual-function rooms in a household and rapidly increasing in popularity, according to the American Institute of Architects.

Though smaller than most other occupied areas of the home, the mudroom is the ultimate multipurpose room, often designed to double as an activity landing zone, specialized storage space and even natural disaster shelter.

Most of my clients, if they are renovating their existing home, are seeking the most popular mudroom combo: the mudroom/laundry room. It is a natural combination, since dirty clothes are dropped off for both and thus helps contain the mess to just one area.

The second most popular choice is to [multipurpose] … this area for storage. Bulk food storage in the mudroom can be especially helpful if it is near the kitchen. … I love giving a defined broom closet or enclosed storage area for vacuums and cleaning products that is easily accessible and orga-

Serena Dugan, the co-founder and chief creative officer of Serena & Lily, joined Post staff writer Jura Koncius for a recent live chat, giving pointers to readers on how to use color and pattern to refresh a space. Here is an edited excerpt of her advice: • Patterned furniture: Print is never a bad idea! However, it is worth considering the investment. You may love a print today and be tired of it tomorrow.

For this reason, I generally recommend smaller accent pieces as your fashion statement. You can easily trade them out or reupholster. But I really love the go-for-it feeling that a large piece of

patterned upholstery offers.

• Mixing patterns: I love pattern on pattern, particularly plaids or stripes with other prints. The key to success is whether or not the other print is complementary to the plaid. This determination is entirely subjective. If you feel the two patterns are harmonious to your eye, that’s all that matters.

Arguments can be made for choosing light or dark paint color in a bedroom.

How should you decide? Annie Elliott, a paint color pro and owner of Bossy Color in Washington, said to go with the room’s DNA. If a bedroom is large and airy, then it’s natural to pick a soft gray or pale blue.

If a bedroom is small, embrace its size and pick a rich claret or deep navy. Her top two light and dark paint colors.

Roar + Rabbit’s Organic Landscape Duvet Cover and Shams feature deep colors done in a painterly way. They are available from $29 to $109 at westelm.com.

We may think we spend most of our time in the kitchen cooking or in the family room watching TV. But the truth is we spend a third of our lives sleeping – so the bedroom wins. And yet this is not where our decorating dollars go.

“A lot of people want their bedroom to have personality,” said Rebecca Atwood, a Brooklyn textile designer, “but they’re not sure what to do.” If your bedroom is basic but you want beautiful, Atwood and Annie Elliott, a paint color pro and owner of Bossy Color in Washington, have some ideas to revive it.

The first might be the hardest: Clear out the clutter. Organize clothes and find somewhere else to store the gift wrap. “The surface clutter is a huge problem for all of us,” Elliott said.

Think through color after that, and throw convention out the door. After all, this is the room that you start and end the day with. If a room is large, go with a light color, Elliott said, and if it is small, embrace it with a dark, cozy selection.

Then look to subtle, relaxing patterns – think watercolors, dots, embroidery. “An injection of pattern can

Continued from page 47 said. But pattern doesn’t always mean big and loud: The bedroom is a good place to try soft designs such as marble and water-inspired fabrics. Roar + Rabbit’s Organic Landscape Duvet Cover and Shams ($29-$109, westelm.com) hit the mark with deep colors done in a painterly way. • Offer the bedroom a rustic touch with the mango-wood Treago Table Lamp ($169, dwellstudio.com). It’s petite enough for a nightstand and matches – yet updates – any current scheme. • A nightstand such as the Baby Relax Miles Campaign Nightstand ($150, target.com) doesn’t have to have its twin on the other side of the bed, Elliott said. She has used everything from an antique demilune to a bachelor’s chest in her projects. The trick is to make sure the heights are the same and the lamps match. • “Sheets are one of the most natural places to add pattern,â€? Atwood said. “There’s a lot of options out there for small-scale prints, such as stripes and dots. Those are the ones that are going to go with everything.â€?

The Pebble Slate Sheet Set ($180-$220, crateandbarrel.com) gives polka dots an organic feel. • Atwood’s Woven Throw Blanket in

Small-scale patterns such as the crossstitch and diamonds in the Milou Embroidered Linen Sheet Set read as texture from a distance. The sheet set costs from $309 to $359 on restoration hardware.com. navy features one of her new patterns and is great for the end of a bed or, for a twist, to hang over a headboard and give it a different, layered look for a season ($349, rebeccaatwood.com). • One of Atwood’s favorite bedding brands is Parachute. Its products are basic and unfussy and feature lots of linen options such as the Linen Stripe Duvet Cover Set ($349, parachutehome.com), which Atwood said “is great year-round.â€? If you want more seasonal fabrics, she noted that percale is light and airy for summer,

sateen feels a bit warmer at night for spring and fall, and flannel, of course, is classic winter bed wear. • Elliott, a former art historian, likes to make bedrooms feel like real rooms, not just caves for sleeping. For that, lighting is key, she said. Even if you have tiny bedside lights, she advocates for table and floor lamps as well.

The Uteki Printed Lamp Ensemble adds a nice spot of pattern, too ($148$298, anthropologie.com). • Elliott chooses nightstands with drawers for many of her clients because she likes clean, uncluttered bedrooms. (“You have to have a place for a tissue or a pen,â€? she said.) The Marcelle 3-Drawer Nightstand ($619, rhbabyandchild.com) has three.

Whichever nightstand you choose, measure its height and make sure it works with the height at which you sleep because contemporary furniture is often low to the ground. • When updating a standard bedroom to something more interesting, think about texture, too. “Look at crochet, linen, things that are knit,â€?

Atwood said. A puckered seersucker-like stripe is also nice, as on the Tidal White Duvet Cover ($223-$308, pineconehill.com). • It’s an age-old design question: How many pillows should go on the bed? If you share a bed and the other person is anti-pillow, shams or a one accent

pillow might be your only chance for fun – so make it count. Check two boxes and add texture with World Market’s Black, White and Gray Kilim Lumbar Pillow ($50, worldmarket.com). • If you’re iffy on pattern in the bedroom, Atwood said to start with pillowcases. “You can test and see if you like it,â€? she said. Then, if you want to add the matching sheets, you can. Atwood also said she loves seeing bold shams.

Try the Thandie Watercolor Printed Shams ($39-$49, ballarddesigns.com). • Atwood likes big pillows to prop oneself up in bed for reading or tickling kids on the floor. Pottery Barn’s Solid Velvet Lumbar Pillow Cover comes in six saturated colors and can be monogrammed ($29.50, potterybarn.com). • Small-scale patterns such as the cross-stitch, running stitch and diamonds in the Milou Embroidered Linen Sheet Set ($309-$359, restorationhardware.com), read as texture from a distance, Atwood noted. These types of patterns are easy to layer and match. • Elliott favors a clean, white bedding cover “because your bed has a lot of visual real estate in a room,â€? she said. “There’s so much ‘look-at-me’ bedding, but if you make white a main part of your room, you make your life so much easier.â€? In particular, she likes a nice, classic matelassĂŠ, such as the Boyfriend White MatelassĂŠ Cover ($243-$359, pineconehill.com).

Susanne Langer, a philosopher who was well known for her theories on the influences of art on the mind, said, “A signal is comprehended if it serves to make us notice the object or situation it bespeaks.”

At the bridge table, a good defender signals to his partner, but, obviously, a signal will only serve him well if partner comprehends it. In today’s deal, West leads the heart ace against four spades. What happens after that?

North’s three-heart advance is called a “mixed raise.” It showed four-card support and 7-9 high-card points. It is also usually made with a nine-loser hand, so North’s call was an overbid because he had 10 losers, given the probable uselessness of the heart queen after East’s opening bid. But if North had settled for two spades (or a pre-emptive three spades, which would also have been debatable with 4-3-3-3 distribution), it would have ruined a good story.

West led the heart ace, and East signaled encouragingly with the 10.

If West had started with only two hearts, East wanted his partner to continue the suit. However, West had three hearts and he knew that East’s play denied the heart jack, because East would have signaled with the top of his touching cards. If West had led a second heart, shortly thereafter declarer would have discarded a diamond loser on dummy’s heart queen.

Instead, West shifted to the diamond eight.

South took East’s jack with his ace, drew trumps ending in the dummy and led the heart six, but East won with his king and cashed two diamond tricks to defeat the contract.
