Equine humane center hosts fundraiser

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com

MAPLE PARK – The Illinois Equine Humane Center had an eighth anniversary celebration July 16 at its location at 45W050 Beith Road in Maple Park.

The event offered kids the opportunity to ride ponies while raising awareness and funds for the center.

“Overall the event went really well,” said the center’s secretary/treasurer, Justine Dover. “We had a lot of people attend and donate so, on that end, it went really well. We had some people show some interest in some rescue horses for potential adoption, which is always a good thing and everyone seemed to have a good time. All in all, it couldn’t have gone any better.”

The center was founded in 2008 to provide humane treatment and shelter to equines, while also working as a clearinghouse to seek adoptive homes for all of the state’s unwanted equines, regardless of breed. In addition, the center seeks to educate the public and raise awareness for responsible equine ownership so that fewer animals end up in crisis. That message was shared with those who attended the event, and it apparently was well-received.

“We couldn’t survive without our donors so spreading the message is important for us,” Dover said. “We were able to tell people what we’re all about and there were some people who were looking to volunteer, so that interest is always good, and there was actually some interest in rescuing horses, so that went very well.”

Taxi was one of the horses of focus during the event, and he has attracted multiple guests, including Evergreen Park’s Stephanie Olson and her two young children.

“My mom told me the story of Taxi and we’ve been coming out ever since – donating and doing whatever we can to help out,” Olson said. “This is such a wonderful cause and they do such good work with the horses.”

Her 5-year-old son, Aaron, enjoyed the pony rides, she said.

“This is the third year he’s been able to ride Cody, which has just been great,” Olson said. “It’s so much fun.

It’s such a unique experience for him and we’re happy to be supportive of everything they do.”

and is now studying to become a veterinarian at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She made it a priority to attend the anniversary event.

“It was an absolutely perfect day for it and I was happy to be able to come and visit,” she said. “What they do is very important to me and I’ve seen the bad that can happen with the neglect, as well as the good that can be done and is being done. There’s some amazing people doing good things, and I’m happy to be able to provide my support.”

Support is always needed and welcome at the center.

“We had quite a few new people show up who were interested in finding out what we’re all about and a lot of them are interested in volunteering,” Dover said. “It was good to see so many people express interest, as well as those that also showed interest in rescuing some of the horses.”

Railroad garden a full-time hobby for Elburn man

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com When Dennis Cipcich started his backyard train project in 2006, he just wanted to place two railroad tracks in his garden because he never had a train as a kid. It has now expanded to include much more than a couple of railway loops.

Cipcich’s railroad garden near Elburn, known as “The Blue Stone Ridge Railroad,” takes up 3,000 square feet of his backyard and includes three water features, a koi pond, live greenery, and a multitude of towns, churches, industrial buildings and cars placed all around the railroad garden.

“I hired a designer to help me create the garden, and he told me, ‘The land will tell us what to do,’” Cipcich said.

“Today the garden loosely represents traveling through the U.S. from the [East to West coasts], with the New Hampshire feel on one side and the mountains of Colorado on the other.”

Cipcich’s G-scale model railroad trains make a big impression. The model trains are big – 1:22.5 scale – and are four times larger than HO-scale trains, which are the most popular type of model train in the world. Because of their large size, they have great detail and realism.

The trains are controlled by a wireless, digital control station, which is stationed in Cipcich’s garage. The trains enter and exit through small doors cut into the garage, which has 450 square feet of storage space for the railroad system. About 11 to 13 trains can run simultaneously on the track being closely watched by train engineers.

There are 50 turnouts on the entire layout, all of which are integrated – meaning a train can be placed anywhere on the layout and go in any direction.

It took more than 1,800 feet of train track, 150 tons of rock and 3,300 gallons of water for the koi pond to complete the garden. The track is left out year-round because of a less-corrosive nickel-silver finish, but the buildings, cars and figurines are brought inside during the winter.

The scenery includes die-

Dennis Cipcich monitors the G-scale locomotives in his backyard garden near Elburn. The garden was recently featured in the Pottawatomie Garden Club’s annual Garden Walk.

About 25 locomotives and more than 100 train cars run on multiple tracks throughout the garden, which also features a koi pond. cast postal cars, Illinois Bell cars, handmade elevated wooden bridges, a 1950s diner, industrial area, greenhouse, chapel, gunsmith, car accidents and more.

Cipcich said he’s proud that there are no plastic plants as part of his garden.

“The plants around the entire garden are all real,” Cipcich said. “And they’re all grown to scale.”

Cipcich’s garden recently was featured as part of the Pottawatomie Garden Walk earli-

er this month. Julie Griffith, co-chairman of the walk, said the Railroad Garden was very popular.

“Dennis and his garden have quite a reputation, and it’s just beautiful,” she said. “The way the garden is set up is just perfect. It gives you a bird’s-eye view of the entire layout.”

Cipcich said he doesn’t get too much time to just enjoy his garden because there’s a lot to maintain.

“Making sure the tracks are balanced is a constant is-

sue,” Cipcich said. “You have to make sure the trains are level and will run properly.

Pruning the live greenery and weeding the garden is another large task that begins each April, right after winter.”

Cipcich never thought he was such a multitalented guy, but his garden has proved otherwise.

“I never had any idea that you really have to be an electrician, landscaper and woodworker to create a railroad garden,” he said.

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – An international youth movement known as AYUDH is dedicated to empowering young people to contribute to a peaceful and sustainable world.

The movement helps teach young people between the ages of 15 and 30 – of all religions, genders, and social and cultural backgrounds – how to become compassionate leaders with a sense of tolerance, solidarity and global responsibility.

The leaders of AYUDH are driven by the desire to make a difference in youth today and help them be facilitators for positive change.

AYUDH is a Sanskrit term meaning “peace.” It also stands for “Amma’s Youth for Unity, Diversity and Humanity.” Founded in 2001, the life and work of world-renowned spiritual and humanitarian leader Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi) inspired the movement of AYUDH, which is now active in more than 40 countries.

With more than 10 chapters spanning the Americas, AYUDH has the unique opportunity to create change locally with a Chicago-area chapter located in Elburn.

During the second weekend of August each year, AYUDH members from all around the Americas come together at a youth summit exploring how their actions affect themselves, their peers, and the world at large. It is a time for young people to collaborate on solving the world’s hardest issues.

This year’s youth summit, “The Ripple Effect: One World, One Home” will be Aug. 4 to 7 at the M.A. Center, 41W501, Keslinger Road, Elburn.

Attendees can join 200 others from around the world for the four-day event of learning, inspiration and exchange. The cost of the summit is $85, and interested parties can register online at http://young-ayudh-usa.org/.

New this year, the summit is partnering with the United Nations for the first time.

“As self-explained by the term United Nations, the UN plays a very significant role in unifying nations and people across the globe,” said Br. Ramanand, director of AYUDH Americas. “To have officials come from the UN and speak to our youth will definitely be a big inspiration for all.”

This year’s keynote speaker of the summit will be Jeff Robinov, who is the founder and CEO of Studio 8, a multiplatform media company funded in partnership with Fosun Group and Sony Pictures Entertainment. Other speakers include Ravi Karkara, Donya Nasser, Karen Moawad, Sifu Rob Moses and Kansas Carradine.

Moawad said that during her talk she “hopes to offer participants a chance to look at behaviors that serve them well as they transition from school to a work environment. From inspiring those they work with to analyzing behaviors that they may want to change.”

There also will be several workshops to attend during the summit such as Mariachi with Mario, Yoga with Lindsay Dolan, DJ with Matt Fillion, Quigung with Ambujam, and Af-

Kane County honors employee killed on job

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com KANE COUNTY – Kane County Division of Transportation employees are honoring one of their own by adopting a stretch of highway in memory of Steven Chidester, who was killed on the job in May. The 44-year-old died on the morning of May 19 while filling a pothole just north of Lasher Road in Blackberry Township. Employees are now adopting a 3.8-mile stretch of Harter Road – from Scott to Seavey roads – in Blackberry Township.

Transportation Division Director Carl Schoedel said the division often gets approached by family members requesting to put up a memorial in someone’s name.

“We actually try to discourage that as the memorial itself can become a safety concern,” Schoedel said. “They can often be in areas that are not safe to pull off the road to get to it.”

Adopting a portion of road seemed like a better way to remember Chidester on a more permanent basis, he said. The Adopt-A-Highway Program requires the individuals to

come out twice a year at a minimum to clean up litter and to help keep the roadway cleaner than the department could by itself.

The employees will donate their time to Steven help with the cleanup, Chidester he said. They will go out on their off-hours.

“Everyone’s all in on this one,” he said. “We have more volunteers than we need.”

Schoedel described Chidester as a relatively new employee who was energetic, loved his job and loved coming to work. He said he was a family man and a body builder who loved fitness.

His wife, Lorraine, is a longer-term employee who works in Kane County’s Information Technology Department. She is fairly well-known by everyone, as her department supports all of the others.

Chidester grew up in Elburn and graduated from Kaneland High School in 1990.

He and Lorraine were married in May 1996, and they recently celebrat-

ed their 20-year anniversary.

Kane County Board member Drew Frasz said Lorraine is a fun-loving person who is well-liked throughout the county.

Frasz said Chidester’s maintenance department is “a tight-knit group,” so when something like this happens, “it’s heartbreaking.”

He said the employees and management took it upon themselves to do this as a way to honor their friend.

“It’s neat that they chose to do that,” Frasz said.

“It’s been a sobering experience,” Schoedel said. “A lot of people that do similar jobs, I know they are thinking that it could easily have been me. It has touched the whole department.”

Maintenance Supervisor Bill Edwards said the action taken by his department is a good way for employees to remember their co-worker, as well as to help everyone remember that “it’s dangerous out there.”

Edwards said the employees talked with Lorraine ahead of time to make sure she was OK with the idea.

“She thought it was a great idea,” Edwards said. “She was happy to see it.”

Youth will reflect on four main themes during the summit: acceptance, growth, self-expression and a sustainable future. Together as a group, they will create new sustainable initiatives for the next year. Last year, the youth decided on climate change, hunger and education. They pledged to plant at least one tree each, collect 1,000 pounds of trash, serve 1,008 meals and save money for global education funds. They surpassed all of their goals last year.

Chicago chapter leader Leela Menon said the talks, workshops and skills the attendees learn at the summit are things that can be carried through to school, work and everyday life.

“These are things that can’t really be taught anywhere else,” she said.

“I’m amazed at what can be learned here in four short days.”

Although it’s a lot of information learned in a short amount of time, Menon said the group has “a lot of fun.”

“We find time to play games, end each night with a bonfire, and take guided nature walks every morning,” she said. “Most importantly, everyone leaves making great connections and a lot of new friends.”

editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – The Kaneland School Board on July 25 voted to begin a contract with Hero, which offers student behavior management software.

Hero will help track student tardies, as well as participation in after-school clubs and games, to help officials better understand the culture at Kaneland High School. The idea to use the new software came from Kaneland High School Principal Jill Maras and school resource officer Sarah Conley.

“In the morning, there is a line outside of the attendance office door,” Conley said. “Kids are then 15 minutes late to class because of the processing efforts.”

Hero will help eliminate the amount of class time lost for tardy students, as staff will now scan the student’s ID with a handheld device, and a tardy pass will be printed immediately.

The system also will track how many tardy passes a student has received and any possible consequences. The hope is that this will help free up some time for deans, the school resource officer, teachers and other high school personnel.

Superintendent Todd Leden said that he used similar student behavior management software in a previous school district, and it helped drop the number of tardy passes by a substantial amount.

“We saw a 40 percent reduction in tardies,” Leden said.

Beyond just late slips and detentions, Hero can be used as a reward service for students.

Students who attend sporting events or after-school clubs can be scanned in to receive points, which can later be redeemed for various prizes, like a bag of chips at lunch or a homecoming ticket.

“[Hero] will help Kaneland core values, like student excellence and a personalized learning experience.”

Jill Maras Kaneland High School principal In addition, Hero will allow staff to better understand how students are using the time and resources available to them. Students can be scanned in every time they go to the library, the College and Career Center and more. Parents can even check in online to view how their student is spending his or her time at school and any absences, if applicable. “[Hero] will help Kaneland core values like student excellence and a personalized learning experience,” Maras said.

Some board members expressed concern over adding another system to the mix when they have already spent money in previous years on student management systems.

“Didn’t we just spend a ton of money on Tyler? I have elementary school kids, and I thought Tyler was supposed to be the one place where we could check everything,” board member Ryan Kerry said.

Although Hero will come with a cost – $5,000 for machines and $7,000 for the system – the board members decided it was a nominal cost for a system that will benefit them in the long run. All six board members voted yes.

The board also voted to amend Leden’s contract. Among the items discussed was Leden’s salary. Leden’s base pay is currently $175,000; however, the board voted to give Leden a 5.3 percent raise, to a base salary of $184,419.

officers at high schools

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com

Two area school districts are in ongoing negotiations with the Kane County Sheriff’s Office after learning their full-time high school resource officers are not expected to return this fall.

Sheriff Don Kramer addressed officials from Central and Kaneland high schools during the Kane County Judicial and Public Safety Committee meeting on July 14, explaining that a total of 18 sheriff’s officers are on leave and that the county is working to balance next year’s budget, which – as of last month – had a $2.6 million gap.

Julia-Ann Fuchs, associate superintendent for the Kaneland School District, said Kaneland High School has had a resource officer for more than 15 years.

Fuchs added the district is “very disappointed” with the recent announcement.

“We are disappointed because the safety and security of our students and staff is of the utmost importance for the district,” Fuchs said.

Other high schools located in municipal areas are patrolled by municipal police, Fuchs said, noting that Central and Kaneland high schools are located in unincorporated areas, and therefore, patrolled by the sheriff’s office.

“The resource officers develop relationships with the students, and the students learn to trust the officer,” Fuchs said. “The students provide the officers with helpful information.”

Fuchs said it would take 15 to 20 minutes for a sheriff’s officer to arrive at the high school if an emergency occurred, assuming there is no resource officer in place.

“It is no secret that school violence is at an all-time high in our country,” Fuchs said. “It would be a travesty and a disservice to the families in our community to eliminate these positions at this time.”

Burlington Superintendent Todd Stirn said the subject of school resource officers is something he’s “very passionate about.”

“I was surprised the sheriff would even consider removing the officers from either high school, mainly because of the location and the response time,” Stirn said.

“We have students, staff, parents and visitors using our facilities on a regular basis,” Stirn said. “I’m really worried about continued safety.”

The sheriff’s office offered to provide part-time resource officers for the schools, according to Fuchs and Stirn. But both school officials agreed full-time officers are necessary. They said they plan to address the Kane County Board on Aug. 9 at its regular meeting.

“I would like to see this issue taken care of in a timely fashion,” Stirn said. “The sheriff did discuss a part-time position, but that’s not a satisfactory solution in this day [and] age where we see violence increasing. Now is not the time to tell our [patrons] that they’re ‘safe enough’ and that they don’t deserve the same level of safety as other schools.”

Kramer did not return multiple calls for comment.

State board replaces PARCC with SAT for high school juniors KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com High school students in Illinois won’t take the PARCC assessment in the upcoming academic year.

Instead, the Illinois State Board of Education will provide the College Board’s SAT exam at no cost to all public high school juniors, according to an ISBE news release.

“District and school administrators overwhelmingly agree with ISBE that every high school junior should have

access to a college entrance exam, a policy that promotes equity and access and that provides each and every student with greater opportunities in higher education,” State Superintendent of Education Tony Smith said in the release.

“The SAT is aligned with the Illinois Learning Standards and will continue to empower educators to measure college and career readiness.”

The release noted that the Every Student Succeeds Act – or ESSA, a bipartisan measure President Barack Obama signed into law in December – focuses

on the goal of fully preparing students for success in college and careers.

In developing a state plan for ESSA, the state board has conducted listening tours to get insight from stakeholders, including students, parents, schools, districts, educators and administrators, according to the release.

Stakeholders emphasized the need for equitable access to a college entrance exam for all students and stressed that the amount of testing time and the number of assessments administered to students need to be re-

duced, the release stated.

“We applaud State Superintendent Dr. Tony Smith and the state board for listening to input from stakeholders around the state and coming up with this common-sense solution,” Brent Clark, executive director of the Illinois Association of School Administrators, stated in the release.

The release indicated third- through eighth-graders will continue to take PARCC, which stands for Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers.

Having photographed more than a dozen county fairs over the years, one of my favorite moments to capture is the relationship between kids and their animals in the 4-H barns.

It’s one of the purest sights I’ve seen. Most of the kids involved in 4-H have cared for their animals since they were born. They are their friends.

So as I headed out to the annual Kane County Fair last week, the animal barns were some of my first stops.

I’ve seen children slumbering with their cows, nuzzling pigs in the swine barn, caring for their goats and holding rabbits, chickens or geese.

What You Should Know Before Buying a Hearing Aid I am often asked why it’s so important to buy a hearing aid from Geneva Hearing Services. There are several issues to consider, but these are the most important.

1) Geneva Hearing Services employs only licensed audiologists. There are two professionals who are licensed in the state of Illinois to sell hearing aids: an audiologist and a hearing aid dispenser. a. Audiologists are required to have a Master’s or Doctoral level degree.

They are clinically and academically trained in all aspects of hearing and balance disorders, including tinnitus. b. Hearing aid dispensers must have a minimum of an associates degree.

2) Geneva Hearing Services is not contracted or owned by any one manufacturer.

This means we offer unbiased professional care and routinely update our training in order to provide our patients with the latest technologies available. This is not always the case at other offices. Stores like Beltone, Miracle Ear and AccuQuest will typically recommend their own brand/manufacture of hearing aid, thus limiting the options available to the patient.

Camouflaged loopers, larvae of the wavy-lined emerald moth, dress themselves in bits of plant material adhered with silk.

The camouflaged looper and its many ‘outfits’ Do you remember when you first were allowed to dress yourself?

Oh, the freedom! The thrill! The independence to wear your favorite stripes, plaids and floral patterns, individually or all at once. It didn’t really matter whether the articles matched; the main thing was that you’d picked them out and put them on all by yourself.

These days, however, perhaps you, like me, have found this daily chore has become a little tiresome. Instead of excitement and adventure, your dresser and closet, like mine, present one bewildering question after another. Does this blouse match this skirt?

When was the last time I wore that shirt? Can these pants pass for clean?

Friends, if you too have fallen victim to the dressing doldrums, read on.

I’ve recently found renewed enthusiasm for self-adornment, and maybe you can, too. It’s all thanks to our good neighbor, Synchlora aerata.

Also known as the camouflaged looper, this caterpillar falls into the category of Fairly Common But Rarely Seen, thanks to its ability to “dress itself” using fragments of petals from its host plants. That’s right, folks, this little larva picks out pieces of plants and adheres them to its back using

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto sticky silk. It’s not just a one-and-done effort, either. Because the bits tend to wither and wilt rather quickly, the caterpillar has to “change clothes” frequently – or else risk getting eaten.

Talk about a great motivator!

The camo looper is a member of the moth family Geometridae, a large group with more than 35,000 species worldwide and about 1,400 species in North America. The name is derived from the Latin geometra, or earth measurer, a term that refers to the caterpillar’s peculiar way of moving around. Looping up, then stretching out, these guys inch along on leaves and branches, earning their other common name, inchworm, every step of the way.

(Fun fact: Inchworms aren’t just showing off. Other types of caterpillars, which move with more of a shuffling motion, do so because they have five sets of prolegs – fleshy appendages that protrude from their abdominal segments. Five pairs of prolegs mean these caterpillars have lots of grip-

ping power, which permits the larva to move forward in a rippling wave of motion. Inchworms, aka loopers, in contrast, have only two pairs of prolegs, located at the rear of the body.

They must draw their hindquarters up toward the head, then reach forward in order to “inch” along.)

Cool locomotion aside, looper caterpillars also are hairless, which means they’re ideal prey for many types of insectivores. While some loopers rely on color or posture for defense, the camo looper is the only species in our area that goes that extra mile and attaches plant bits to enhance its disguise.

The species isn’t particularly fussy about host plants and can be found on many species of asters, blackeyed susans, blazing stars, boneset, goldenrods, raspberries, roses and St. John’s worts. Camo loopers will even venture into non-native territory and conceal themselves on chrysanthemums, daisies, yarrow and Queen Anne’s lace – which is where “Good Natured” readers Alice DuBois and Tim Campbell found their looper a couple of weeks ago.

“I noticed a little worm that looked identical to the white flower part of the plant, inching up and down,” Alice

said in an email. At first perplexed, she did some research and discovered the amazing dress-up talents of Synchlora aerata.

Provided its camouflage is effective, the little looper will grow to a length of a little over half an inch, before pupating and emerging with a completely different look – and name: the wavy-lined emerald moth. These small (wingspan less than 1 inch) moths often appear at porch lights on warm evenings and can be identified by their pastel green wings with undulating (“wavy”) lines.

The next time you’re faced with a clothing conundrum, remember the lessons learned from our friend the camo looper. Pick pieces that go together, add a touch of silk and keep them fresh.

Most important, dress for success and always remember: If you don’t get eaten, you know you’re doing it right.

Napa Auto Parts to change location

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com

Brenda Schory - bschory@shawmedia.com

Atlas Chicken Shack owner Lawrence Colburn welcomes a customer into his new takeout restaurant, 511 S. Third St. in Geneva. His staff members (from left) are Danny Onopa, Dylan Stoves, Adam Auchstetter, Sam Augustyn, Tyler Doss and Derrick Powell.

‘Best piece of chicken you can find’ Preservation owner adds Atlas Chicken Shack to list of Geneva eateries

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Even after running the successful Preservation Bread & Wine restaurant at 513 S. Third St. in Geneva for the past six years, owner Lawrence Colburn said he still wanted to do more.

About 18 months ago, he bought the building at 511 S. Third St. – just one gangway over from Preservation – and recently opened it as Atlas Chicken Shack.

“I have been looking at it from Preservation and looking at it and thinking, ‘What’s that old building look like? What does it want to be?’ And I just felt it wanted to be a chicken shack,” said Colburn, of St. Charles. “I’ve been looking at it for six years, since we opened [Preservation] over here. It was really the feel, the look of the place.”

The building is narrow, more than 100 years old and small – less than 400 square feet, Colburn said.

The building had previously housed Kernel’s Gourmet Popcorn, which moved to 316

S. State St. in 2011, and then Smuzi Juice Bar was open in 2013 and closed in 2015.

“The building is full of character – there’s something about the old, broken crookedness of it,” Colburn said. “It’s just a really, really cool old building. Getting fried chicken in there has certainly been a challenge.”

Even the name – Atlas – refers to the point specific location of the building in the Great Lakes region.

“We wanted to emphasize it was down here at the tip of Lake Michigan – Chicagoland,” Colburn said.

The building is too narrow and small for inside seating, so a half-dozen tables and chairs dot the paved gangway between the two buildings. Customers can pick up food from an order window that opens onto the gangway and either take it away or eat it there.

Atlas Chicken Shack uses free-range, hormone- and antibiotic-free birds hatched, raised and processed from Miller Poultry, an Amish farm in northwest Indiana. They are soaked for 24 hours in a seasoned buttermilk brine before being dredged, redipped, redredged and then fried.

“It is 100 percent our recipe from the ground up,” Colburn said. “It’s very well-seasoned,

without being spicy.”

The chicken shack had a soft, unadvertised opening July 1; then it was forced to close from July 6 to 11 because it ran out of chicken, reopening July 12.

Not only was the demand beyond expectations, getting the chickens from Indiana required a five-day lead time, Colburn said.

“These are not mass-produced chickens that we can get from anywhere,” Colburn said. “We were forced to start over because the initial response was so strong.”

Still, Colburn said, it was not so much a problem as a puzzle to be solved.

“It created a certain puzzle that we are working on daily,” Colburn said. “And we are going to make this the absolute best piece of chicken you can find.”

The menu offers chicken both fried or grilled, on a salad or a bun or in a box, with a traditional cole slaw or a brussels sprouts-citrus slaw, made with shaved sprouts, red onions, jicama and toasted pepitas. It also offers four original housemade sauces and dill pickles and pickled onions.

ELBURN – Napa Auto Parts at 113 N. Main St. in Elburn is moving to a different facility just down the street – the former Patten Cat location on Route 47, south of Keslinger Road.

Napa owner Jaret Adrian said the move to 1001 S. Main St. should be done by the end of this month, and will provide ample parking for Napa customers, as well as more space for on-site inventory.

Adrian, who owns five Napa stores including the one in Elburn, said he’s also moving the regional operation/receiving center for all five stores to Elburn. His other stores are in North Aurora, Yorkville, Sandwich and Hinckley.

At 10,500 square feet, Elburn will be the largest of Adrian’s facilities – nearly double the size of the current, 6,500-square-foot store in downtown Elburn.

The new location will include a 3,200-square-foot showroom, additional store hours and more traditional retail parts. The second story of the building will house offices.

This additional space will allow Adrian to increase his buying power, resulting in more aggressive pricing for customers on certain product lines, he said.

Adrian said he’s happy he found another location within Elburn, as he’s been in business in Elburn since 1998 and has a core group of customers in the area. Staying on Route 47 was important to him.

“Everything was aligned perfectly,” he said. “It’s the right land and the right opportunity.”

The property includes two parcels of land, about nine acres each. His business will be located on the northern portion, which is within the boundaries of the village of Elburn. He said it is “still to

be determined” what he will do with the southern nine acres, which are in unincorporated Kane County.

Adrian also anticipates listing his current location in downtown Elburn for sale.

“Right now my focus is on opening up our business,” he said.

The expansion will create five new positions – a mix of sales and managerial. The business is made up of about 75 percent wholesale suppliers and 25 percent retail sales.

When asked about the new Auto Zone moving into town, Adrian said that he has competition in every market, so he is not unfamiliar with it.

“It’s good for everyone,” he said. “It keeps us on our game.”

Elburn Village President Dave Anderson said he is “thrilled” about Napa’s move.

“I think this is an extremely positive move for Napa and for the business community in Elburn,” Anderson said.

“Any time you open a commercial business or expand it ... it’s a positive.”

Anderson said the move will mean jobs, real estate taxes and sales tax.

“There are no negatives to this,” Anderson said.

The Patten property has been vacant for six years, ever since the Caterpillar rental business left in 2010.

Last year, the Kane County Forest Preserve District looked into the possibility of buying the land to house its Natural Resources Department.

At the time, several residents and village officials were concerned about the loss of property taxes and sales tax, because of the tax-exempt status of the district.

Patten has been paying $31,000 in property taxes on its property – $21,000 of which goes to the Kaneland School District.

“We’re happy to keep the tax dollars in the community,” Adrian said.

Kane County Fair opens with heat on the horizon 148th annual event sees temperatures reach 90 degrees

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – With meteorologists forecasting multiple days of triple-digit heat indexes, 18-year-old Jaide Panek of Batavia expected her time at the Kane County Fair would involve hosing down the 11 pigs she and her 16-year-old sister, Jacie, were showing.

But she’s used to dealing with heat at the annual event, she said, describing the Kane County Fair as “always really hot.”

The 148th annual Kane County Fair kicked off July 20, the day before a streak of 90-degree highs were forecasted.

The National Weather Service had forecasted temperatures in the Tri-Cities would reach the low 90s from July 21 to 23.

Additionally, an excessive heat watch was in effect from noon July 21 to 7 p.m. July 22, said Amy Seeley, a weather service meteorologist. The heat index was expected to peak on July 21 at 107, she said.

Although hot weather – and even a forecast of inclement weather – can hurt fair attendance, Kane County Fair Board President Larry Breon seemed to take the forecasted heatwave in stride on opening day. As he said, that element is out of his control.

“God creates the weather,” he said. “I don’t.”

But, he said, he does feel sorry for the people who put in a lot of work and effort and the weather turns against them.

Fifteen-year-old Shianne Votava of A Bit More 4-H Club said she can tell that her mare is hot by her behavior. To keep the horse cool, the Campton Hills teen said she dumps a bucket of cold water – sometimes with ice – onto the animal and puts Gatorade in her water to drink.

Campers and counselors share a moment during the Day in the Park event hosted by the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association. It also was the 11th year that the St. Charles Kiwanis Club joined the association in hosting the event.

Fox Valley Special Rec group, Kiwanis host Day in the Park KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com What do you call 1,100 kids, 80 volunteers, music, games and ice cream converging on Pottawatomie Park in St. Charles?

You call it Day in the Park – a yearly outing for the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association and its seven allied park districts: Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles, Fox Valley, Oswegoland, South Elgin and Sugar Grove.

The event was more special because it marked the 40th anniversary of the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association’s founding, according to a news release. The organization’s mission is to provide recreation and

leisure opportunities for its residents with special needs.

It also was the 11th year that the St. Charles Kiwanis Club joined the association in hosting the event.

“With Kiwanis’ focus on children, it was a unique opportunity for its members to provide hands-on support,” the release stated.

Volunteers supervised activities such as a dunk tank, line dancing, temporary tattoos, an obstacle course and a magic show.

In addition, the Boy Scouts of America Three Fires Council was on hand with popcorn, and Colonial Cafe supplied ice cream.

“In short, it was a wonderful day in the park,” the release stated.

The work Nancy does every day has changed the lives of so many people. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of the award.”

The Illinois Community College Trustees Association honored Elgin Community College English as a second language adjunct instructor Elizabeth Soderquist with its 2016 Outstanding Part-Time Faculty Member Award during its annual awards banquet in June. Since 2009, the award recognizes the high achievements of Illinois’ part-time community college instructors. Soderquist has been in education for 32 years, 14 of them at ECC’s Adult Basic Education Center. During her time at the college, she has been instrumental in developing the curriculum for a new ECC health care bridge program, served as an ESL supervisor, shared her experiences in program development with other adult education instructors throughout the state, and has worked in the college’s Workforce Transitions Department to offer unemployment services at Streamwood Village Hall, according to a news release.

During the Illinois Community College Trustees Association banquet, Elgin Community College President David Sam received the 2016 Gary W. Davis Ethical Leadership Award. Established in 2004, the award recognizes the importance of fostering ethical values systems both within the Illinois community college system and in the larger communities they serve. Special consideration is given to those nominees whose ethical leadership has positively impacted community colleges or educational access in a local, national or global way, according to a news release.

OUR VIEW

Be safe when hot weather hits It’s been hot this month. Not that we need to tell you that.

An excessive heat warning was issued last week for Kane County and surrounding areas by the National Weather Service. At that time, the weather service was predicting maximum heat index values of 100 to 113 degrees.

At the Kane County Fair, those tending to livestock had to take precaution so their animals wouldn’t overheat. And – as told in reporter Ashley Sloboda’s story about Otter Cove Aquatic Park and Swanson Pool in St. Charles (accessible via kcchronicle.com) – many people are heading to local pools to stay cool.

Yes, summer is in full swing. And, as such, community members should take care to stay safe when the mercury – or whatever is in thermometers these days – rises.

“Take extra precautions ... if you work or spend time outside,” the National Weather Service stated when issuing its excessive heat warning.

“When possible ... reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light-weight and loose-fitting clothing when possible, and drink plenty of water.”

“Heat stroke is an emergency ... call 911,” the weather service continued.

“Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during warm or hot weather, when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.”

Kane County is not the only place that’s seen hot weather lately, as other areas of the world have been hit by intense heat.

An article in Scientific American that was published online July 19 states: “The first half of 2016 has blown away temperature records, capped off by a record hot June, once again bumping up the odds that 2016 will be the hottest year on record globally, according to data [recently] released ... .”

The Kane County Health Department offers tips on its website for staying safe when the weather is warmer than usual. Those tips include taking a cool bath or shower and eating light, cool, easy-todigest foods, such as fruit or salads.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Friday night lights are costing us in the long run Soon, football and soccer teams will move into their high schools’ Roman coliseums to play their first games. Fans borne in on the scent of hot dogs and screech of marching bands will scream and clap as teams clash by Friday night lights.

Look, I get it. In boarding school, I played soccer, hockey, lacrosse and tennis. But my school’s record was no draw; we were so small, our varsity teams played larger schools’ JV squads.

Today, just like colleges, “American high schools are taking a page out of the same playbook by doing similar kinds of deals … turning their athletic programs into one of the most explosive areas in sports business,” reports CNBC.com.

Mark Conrad, associate professor of legal and ethical studies at Fordham University’s school of business, observes in the same post, “People love their iPhones and iPads, and it’s like a religion to them. It’s the same with high school sports.’”

“In a school district, the schools will likely be competing among themselves for money,” said Robert Boland, academic chairman for the New York University’s Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management.

“Some schools will have higher-paid coaches and better sport programs and they can keep getting money while leaving others behind.”

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger CNBC quotes Naomi Storey, a resident of Hiram, Ga., who worries, “Many kids are already putting too much emphasis on sports and not academics.”

Who touts academia? Who cares?

When’s kickoff? A June 2014 Kane County Chronicle “Sound Off” caller complained, “You know what really grinds my gears? Paying over $11,000 in property taxes in Batavia, seeing how the city and school district spends our tax dollars … not for needs, but for upgrades and sports facilities.”

A hilarious, but pointed, article by Christian Surtz in “The Cadet Call,” the student newspaper for Marmion Academy (where I teach), is titled, “The Athlete-Student.” Surtz imagines an academic draft “where colleges and universities select the incredible prospects bound to send their institution to the top of the national rankings. ... Of course, a scenario like that could never come to fruition. Rather, it’s athletics that hogs all of the attention.”

An athlete himself, Surtz objects only when “the ‘student-athlete’… becomes … an ‘athlete-student,’ and American culture does nothing but …

open up another bag of chips.”

Amanda Ripley’s article in The Atlantic Monthly, “The Case Against High School Sports” begins, “The United States routinely spends more tax dollars per high-school athlete than per high-school math student – unlike most countries worldwide.

And we wonder why we lag in international education rankings?”

“As athletic fields became the cultural centers of towns” teachers were hired because they could coach, Ripley continues. Incredibly, athletics often have “lower student-to-teacher ratios than math and reading classes. … Many football teams have half a dozen or more coaches, all of whom typically receive a stipend.”

Hey, teamwork and conditioning are great. But maybe it’s time to ratchet down our mania for winning sports teams and glistening arenas, and instead devote more revenue and enthusiasm to scholastic achievement.

Or else, as a community, a nation and a world, we’ll have to punt.

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina friends discuss this event.

For an hour I watched a pastry chef decorate summer-themed cupcakes using butterfly gummy candies and little bumblebees made out of pure sugar.

For starters, I was shown how to make homemade buttercream icing using marshmallow fluff. Using the same type of cupcakes, the pastry chef showed about six ways you can decorate cupcakes. One cupcake looked like a fruit tart with vanilla pudding in the center and decorated with blueberries, strawberries and kiwi on top.

It was for sure a more “adult” looking cupcake.

My favorite cupcake shown was by far one that had a Teddy Grahams bear, a gummy Lifesaver, graham cracker crumbs and small drink umbrellas. The cupcake was made into a little scene with a bear swimming in the ocean wrapped in a “life preserver” using the gummy Lifesaver. On the other side of the cupcake, the graham cracker crumbs created “sand,” and the small drink umbrellas tied the whole cupcake masterpiece together.

Before heading out, everyone got to try one special cupcake. The cupcake looked like an actual ice cream cone with ice cream in it.

However, it was simply an ice cream cone filled with cupcake batter.

Not only did it look marvelous, but the buttercream frosting used as the “ice cream” on top of the cone was to die for.

I may not go to libraries to check out books, although I will continue to go to them to get CDs and attend events like the cupcake decorating one. There are so many daily programs and events offered at your local library that can be very valuable and entertaining.

Unfortunately, people like me don’t always know about them. Coming from someone who isn’t a book reader, I can say this cupcake decorating event made coming to my library a new unique experience.

To the editor: Melania Trump’s speechwriter makes me seriously question the competency of the staff Trump has working for him.

For a speechwriter not to study the convention speeches of previous first ladies and then write with originality makes me question Trump’s wisdom in choosing the people working for him.

That’s the real problem.

SOUND OFF Watch what your kids watch

says, “Well, we need to unify this; we need to unify that.” What is wrong with the media saying, “Gee, Melania Trump played quite a compliment to Michelle Obama last night because she used some of the same words in her speech that Michelle Obama used in her 2008 speech.” That would have made a lot of news, and it would have made the public, we the voters, think more highly of the Trump-bashing media. I think that I am going to put a huge sign in my yard that says: Elect a real person for president, elect Donald Trump. I’ve never done that before, but I think I’ll do it this time because I am so sick and Favorite words Two of Trump’s favorite words seem to tired of people who [don’t follow the be “incredible” and “unbelievable.” Those rules], like Hillary Clinton, and get away are appropriate words. Whenever I listen with it, holding the highest offices in the land. ... You know you just bash a person to Trump, I say to myself “incredible,” who wants to do good for the country “unbelievable.” and that’s not right.

Instead of promoting girls, who are overall nonviolent, let us once again help boys to succeed in life. If you watch the Disney Junior station, you will see a female sheriff, a female captain of a spaceship and a female physician. Disney Junior wants girls to realize they can do it all, while ignoring boys as leaders.

Watch what your kids watch. Since women have entered the work force, we have kids who stare at TVs and electronic devices, instead of being hugged and loved.

Elect Donald Trump

Well, Melania Trump got up [July 18] and made her speech, it seemed to come from her heart. I’d like to know why the media constantly needs to bash anything about Trump. The media

Are we better off?

The president went down to Orlando a couple of weeks ago, supposedly to have a eulogy for the people that were killed down there. And, instead, the

majority of it he turned into a political platform for the Obama agenda, and, now, unfortunately, we have Dallas, and again he turned it into a political platform after about 10 minutes of eulogy for his agenda and his vision. And, if I was a family member down there or even a Dallas policeman, I would consider it an insult and embarrassment to the families and even our city for him to come down there and preach whatever it is his philosophy is about the world, the new world order and every other thing. He was here as our state senator in Illinois. He was a U.S. senator in Illinois, and now he’s been the president for almost eight years, and still here in his hometown in Chicago we continue to set records for murders and nothing has changed. The president has done nothing but create more divide between the races. And it’s as great or even greater under what should have been a healing president who is black. He’s just an embarrassment, and he needs to go.

We need somebody to really pull the country together and help black people.

As far as I can tell, there [are] no black people any better off.

I wouldn’t consider a library to be a close friend of mine. Admittedly, my only trips to the library usually last somewhere between five to 10 minutes. I park my car and run inside to get some CDs. With a list in my mind of what CDs I want, I normally grab a few from the shelves, walk toward the self-checkout and then dash out of the place.

Needless to say, I try to get out of libraries as fast as I can because books have never been a huge interest to me.

Sorry, bookworms!

Although I surprised myself on a recent Tuesday when I went to the Batavia Public Library not to get CDs, but to attend a cupcake-decorating program. Yes, I still didn’t go to the library to check out five novels. However, because of a few of my friends who do regularly go to the library to check out five novels at a time, I was informed of a free cupcake-decorating program that would be taught by a pastry chef.

The description of the event stated that the pastry chef would not only teach people how to decorate cupcakes for summer, but would also be providing cupcake recipes and free samples of some of the treats.

So, of course, I went on the Batavia Public Library website and signed up in a heartbeat after hearing my

J.M. Barrie wrote, “I am not young enough to know everything.”

I can relate to that. Some 10 years after moving from high school teaching into bridge full time, I bumped into a former pupil. After informing me that he was the sous chef at a famous restaurant, he said, “You know, sir, I now realize that you aren’t as stupid as I thought when you were teaching me.”

A bridge player never knows everything. But to defend well, it helps to have the full arsenal under control: leads, signals, discards, and counting of winners, losers and highcard points.

In this deal, how can the defenders defeat two spades?

West, since his opponents had stopped in an eight-card fit at the two-level, might have made a second takeout double. This would have risked ending in three hearts in a 4-3 fit, but here it would have worked well because three diamonds was makable.

West leads the club ace. East drops the seven, starting a high-low with a doubleton. West cashes his club king and continues with the club queen. What should East discard?

East is making an attitude signal, and it is preferable to throw an encouraging card. Here, East signals with the heart seven.

West, who knows this is high, shifts to his heart three (low from an honor). East wins with his ace and returns the heart two. Even if South cleverly plays his queen smoothly, West should win and lead his last heart, which East ruffs to defeat the contract.

Now for the tough question: How does West know East is out of hearts?

Because if he had begun with A-7-52, he would have led back the five at trick five, the higher of his remaining cards.

THE START OF SOMETHING BIG Summer camp an important part of preparation for area teams

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Collin Richter is like most high school football players.

Prep players will look to make their way to Champaign for state championship games Thanksgiving weekend, and Richter hopes to help lead Batavia on a lengthy playoff run.

If Richter and the Bulldogs are to get back to the quarterfinals, the round they advanced to in 2015, and beyond, then the summer will have been an important time for them.

Batavia and teams from the Tri Cities area joined teams from across the state in keeping active for the summer with team practices, destination camps and 7-on-7 events where team have chances to perfect the passing game.

“As a team in general everybody has [improved] because we come into the summer knowing a little from last year, so it helps a lot to review and go over, back over it before the

season starts,” Richter said.

The time in the summer isn’t just something to keep players busy.

Between the team building and the plays and concepts teams work on, the summer is one of the most important parts of the season.

Time well spent

The Illinois High School Association, which sets the ground rules for high school sports in the state, allows 25 contact days for coaches with their players during the summer.

It is up to the coaching staffs to decide how to allocate those days, but most often it involves a combination of three types of events: team practices, 7-on-7 events where quarterbacks, wide receivers, linebackers and defensive backs get in the most work, and destination camps at college campuses.

No matter what combination the coaches concoct, the time spent focusing on football has a huge payoff for coaches and players.

“By the end of the summer, they have a good understanding about the passing game,” K a n e land head coach Tom Fedderly said. “We wait to have our camp in July because we let baseball and basketball share our athletes. That’s all real heavy in June, but by the end of our camp we’re feeling pretty good.”

Kaneland, Batavia and St. Charles North were part of the Red Grange Classic 7-on-7 at Wheaton Warrenville South, which was a regional qualifying tournament for the USA Football 7-on-7 National Championship.

St. Charles North hosted

its own 14-team Fox Valley 7-on-7 event on July 21, attended a threeday camp at North Central College from July 25 to 27 and interspersed team practices throughout June and July. The camp at North Central College was the culmination of the North Stars’ summer program, one that was incredibly beneficial and important.

“Personally, I think high school football starts in June,” North head coach Rob Pomazak said. “We need those 25 days to get kids prepared, whether it’s workouts in the weight room, installing our schemes or working on advanced stuff with them.”

Like St. Charles North, Geneva peppered in some 7-on-7 events into its practice routine, but for head coach Rob Wicinski the summer is prime time for building strength and team camaraderie more than it is about specific X’s and O’s on the field.

“We’ve had real nice commitment in the weight room, which is where it all starts, so after that it’s all gravy, so to speak,” Wicinski said. “We get 25 contact days and we don’t use them all. Anytime you get the guys together, I think that’s important. As far as overall football, we can get a lot of it done in August.

The team aspect – believing in each other and having each other’s back – I think the summer is important for that.”

our skill guys are pretty good, and then to bring them to [a 7-on7] competition where every team you’re playing is really good only helps these kids,” Fedderly said.

“It’s good for them to compete all day long against good teams. Win or lose, we don’t care. We’re learning when we’re out here, so that’s the main thing.”

While 7-on-7 competitions are as close as teams can get to real football competition in the summer, they really only benefit skill position players. Teams typically line up with four and five receivers, linemen do not participate in 7-on7s, and the quarterbacks, wide receivers, linebackers and defensive backs wear only helmets, not full pads.

Batavia quarterback Ben Weertz looks for a receiver July 1 during a game at the Wheaton Warrenville South Red Grange Classic 7-on-7.

Positives, negatives to passing events

Each offseason there are a slew of 7-on-7 events on the schedule. Some can be small – Marmion was part of a three-team 7-on-7 at Glenbard South on July 14 – while some, like the Red Grange Classic, which had 32 teams spread out at three locations for a portion of the two-day event on June 30 and July 1, are huge affairs that draw teams from inside and outside of Illinois.

There are plenty of positives to participating in the 7-on-7 events – building team chemistry, competing against opponents that aren’t just players from the same team, and working on passing plays, which are an increasingly important part of the high school game.

“This is great because I think

Mark Busch mbusch@ shawmedia.com

much out of the 7-on-7 competitions, but even the Vikings find ways to make use of the passing events.

“The 7-on-7s are more for the defense. We find DBs,” Wicinski said. “If our DBs can cover for six seconds in a 7-on-7, then we know they’re going to be able to cover for four seconds in a real game. We find more of the defensive players than offensive players.”

Too much of a good thing?

The high school football season ends with state championship games Thanksgiving weekend, which translates to the better part of six months of football for teams that kept busy in the summer. The risk of burnout is real, and coaches have different ways of handling it.

Wicinski didn’t meticulously keep track of his days because he never intended to use all of them.

“I think I still have some on the table,” Wicinski said.

St. Charles East coach Bryce Farquhar said he used 22 or 23 of his contact days. At a certain point there

is only so much football a team can take in the summer.

“We had a 7-on-7 at Huntley on [July 25], and when we were done we looked at the kids and they were just exhausted,” Farquhar said. “You have to give them breaks.”

St. Charles North started its summer program on June 13, took a break the week of Fourth of July and came back for three more weeks of camp through July 27, using 24 of their allotted 25 days. The North Stars will be one of hundreds of teams across the state reconvening on Aug. 8 for the start of preseason practices.

Pomazak kept things fresh to avoid giving his players too large a dose of football before the season even starts.

“I’m always opposed to doing too much, but our staff does a great job of keeping things fresh and keeping the kids interested in what we’re doing,” he said. “We try to take the temperature of the kids and keep it fresh for them because they are making a huge sacrifice playing football.”

to get extra reps in and keep working on that stuff.”

Batavia head coach Dennis Piron likes that 7-on-7 events give him a chance to see his players in competitive settings, but even he admits there are some drawbacks.

“Offensively this is not our style.

We are very balanced run and pass like a lot of teams are, but we’re not really a spread team,” Piron said. “In some ways it’s fun to work on it, but at the same time we have to remind our kids it’s only part of what we do.

“We’re calling our offense … and we’re thinking about everything like it’s second and long, third and long ... because of the three downs [at a 7-on-7]. I like the pressure of executing in those types of situations. It makes it tough on your kids and tough on you coaches … It’s a good environment to be in to get better as a program.”

For players such as Richter, a junior wide receiver preparing to step into a large varsity role this season, the summer, especially the 7-on-7 events, helped him improve.

SUMMER LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS

Success continues for North Stars during summer

By MATT LE CREN editorial@kcchronicle.com NAPERVILLE – Brenden Norberg’s great-grandmother, Nancy Hrajnoha, turned 100 on July 19.

The St. Charles North right fielder gave her something to celebrate a day early.

Norberg went 2 for 3 with a walk and drove in the game-winning run July 18 as the North Stars knocked off Brother Rice 4-0 on the opening day of the Phil Lawler Summer State Tournament at Naperville Central.

Hrajnoha wasn’t able to attend the game, but she was certainly going to hear about Norberg’s exploits.

“Definitely, absolutely,” Norberg said. “She did [attend games] when she was younger, but now that she’s bedridden, she isn’t really able to get out to anything.”

Brother Rice wasn’t able to get anything going against St. Charles North pitcher Westin Muir, who hurled a three-hit shutout to make sure the North Stars (15-1) were successful in their summer state finals debut.

Muir, a senior, was in masterful command of his curveball, which he used to baffle the Crusaders (11-5-1). He struck out 10 without allowing a walk.

“Westin is a very good pitcher,” Norberg said. “During the spring he came in as a relief guy for us a lot and in the third-place game [at state in the spring] he came in and struck out five in a row. That’s where I think he built his confidence, and he carried it over into the summer.”

Muir’s fastball was not overwhelming, topping out in the low 80s, but his curve made it seem better.

“I probably started [throwing the curve] between [age] 10 and 12, and I really started perfecting it when I was 13,” Muir said. “Throughout high school it’s just gotten progressively better.

“It’s probably my best outing so far for North as far as starts are concerned.”

It was a performance that nearly didn’t happen. The game was pushed back four hours and moved to Naperville Central after North Central College forgot to put the tarp on its field before storms moved through the night of July 17.

“I actually woke up this morning later than I thought I would and I panicked because I thought I was late,” Muir said. “But [I was told], ‘Oh, your game has been moved back.’

“Honestly, it gave me a lot more time to prepare myself. I made sure I got loose in plenty of time and it actually kind of helped that the game got moved back.”

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

St. Charles North’s Brenden Norberg reaches for the ball in right field July 6 during a wood bat tournament game against Lake Park. The North Stars made the Elite Eight of the summer state playoffs in an extension of their solid spring season.

“Our motto was kind of break through the glass ceiling and we finally broke it. We knew this would happen.”

Todd Genke, St. Charles North coach Brother Rice had only two runners reach third base, both times as a result of errors.

Meanwhile, the North Stars amassed eight hits and could have scored more runs if not for some baserunning blunders.

Norberg’s second single of the game, a two-out knock to left in the third, drove in Raph Rhoades with the first run.

Justin Dunne drove in the second run with a fourth-inning sacrifice fly and scored the third on a wild pitch in the sixth. Conor Bizik scored his second run on the game in the seventh.

“I felt like four runs, with how Westin was throwing, would win it,” St. Charles North coach Todd Genke said. “He did a fantastic job.

“It made it very easy. When you have a guy like that, you just scrap a couple runs across and let him take it away from there.”

Despite losing some starters to graduation, the North Stars have built on the success of their historic spring, when they finished third in the state to

win the program’s first trophy.

“It’s nice to pick up right where we left off,” Norberg said. “We have a lot of returning guys that played a big role on that team, whether it was coming in to pinch-hit or having to DH. “[Summer league] is a lot less pressure than the spring, but it’s still cool to be here. Getting to the Elite Eight is pretty hard to do, so it’s just cool getting here.”

The July 18 win against Brother Rice turned out to be the last of the summer for the North Stars, who fell 2-1 against Plainfield South in a semifinal July 19 before losing 4-0 against Brother Rice in a knockout game of the double-elimination tournament.

Despite the ending of the summer season, the run into the Elite Eight signaled that the North Stars should be considered serious contenders when next spring rolls around.

“That’s what we talked about,” Genke said. “Our motto was kind of break through the glass ceiling and we finally broke it. We knew this would happen.

Tournament results JULY 18 n North Stars 4, Brother Rice 0 JULY 19 n Plainfield South 2, North Stars 1 n Brother Rice 4, North Stars 0

“In the past it would always be one mistake here or one bad bounce and we’d be out. It seemed like the bounces kind of went our way in the spring and we took advantage. Now it’s kind of snowballing into the summer season.”

The players believe the success of the summer will continue next spring.

“I know for a fact that we’ll make state again,” Muir said. “We have the guys to do it and we have the camaraderie that it takes.

“We’ve just got to put it all together.

The seniors on this team have a great experience under their belt and it’s going to make for a great year.”

Genke, too, is optimistic, especially if Muir continues pitching the way he did July 18.

“He’s growing up,” Genke said.

“He’s going to be one of our senior leaders next year. I can’t wait to see how he develops.”

Cummins captures 2nd major bowling title of summer KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE ELBURN – Mabel Cummins isn’t up for sharing bowling accolades.

The Elburn resident has won two national tournaments this summer, the 14U title at the Teen Masters National Championships on July 8 followed by the 15U title at the United States Bowling Congress Junior Gold Championships on July 23.

In the U15 girls final, Cummins rolled to a 420-366 victory over Sarah Sanes of Murfreesboro, Tenn.

“Even though there was a lot going on around me, I was just focusing on hitting my target and making clean shots,” the 14-year-old Cummins said in a release published by the USBC. “I don’t like to watch the scores, so I didn’t realize that I had won until they announced my name as a Junior Gold champion. This is an amazing feeling and I’m so

happy and incredibly thankful to everyone who’s helped me get here.”

Cummins also earned a spot on the U15 Developmental Team. She won her semifinal match by a combined two-game score of 848-767 after winning three elimination bracket matches following a loss in the main draw.

Winning the two titles were highlights for Cummins, and another will take place at 8 p.m. Aug. 2 when CBS Sports Network airs the U15 championship match.

The Teen Masters tournament is the longest-running youth bowling event in the county. Cummins won the 14U division title with a 189.4 average pinfall and earned a spot in the U20 portion of the tournament, the only competitor in the U14 group to earn Photo provided by Ray Cummins that honor.

Soaking in the summer months by slowing down the workload I found my coffee cup empty, so naturally, I refilled it.

It was July 24 and the weather overnight had completely screwed up my schedule for the day. As I considered what I’d end up doing with the day (or be asked to do by my assignor or wife), I refilled my coffee cup because I simply needed more coffee.

I didn’t need to work more this season, so I didn’t.

After surpassing 300 games worked in a single season last year for the first time, I’ve slowed down. I’ve slowed down quite a bit.

Actually, when I really think about it, that’s not entirely true because last year my workload was so insane that it just makes this year look like I’ve been on semi-sabbatical. I’m closing in on 100 games for the year, and that’s for a season that only began in late March and saw me stop working weekdays after the high school season ended at the beginning of June.

That’s still a lot of games.

They’ve been better quality, though, and that’s one of the key reasons why this season has been so enjoyable.

Some things don’t mix well in baseball, such as the final game of a season and hot/ humid conditions. Throw in alcohol – after the game I learned that some fans from the winning team were knocking back Miller Lites (concealing them by drinking out of blue Solo cups – how creative!)

Thankfully, I have a few more games scheduled before my summer workload comes to an end so I can hopefully end on a brighter note. As it looks right now, I could be done for the summer after next weekend. Last year, I was beginning to get burned out at this time, but I’m far from that today. I’m actually saddened that the summer season is

almost over.

This year it’s been quality over quantity for me, but I really cannot say that this year has been more memorable or enjoyable for me compared with last year. A year ago I pretty much lived on the diamond, which is not necessarily a bad thing if you love the game. This year, I haven’t been on it as nearly as often, but I’ve looked forward to getting back there every time I have the opportunity to do so, and that’s made for quite a season as well.

I know a lot of kids have turned in their catcher’s gear for football shoulder pads or are now vacationing with family as they’ve finished their baseball season, but I also know there still are some kids who are playing these next couple of weeks. I’ll be seeing them out there, and I look forward to it before I take a break myself for a few weeks.

GENEVA – Minor league baseball teams have a reputation for creating unique jerseys for various theme nights throughout the season, and the Kane County Cougars are no different.

Barstool Sports, a popular blog that writes with a satirical spin on sports as well as lifestyle pieces for men, recently featured a post with some of its favorite jerseys from minor league baseball teams this season. It highlighted two jerseys worn by the Cougars this year.

The first was the Cougars’ new Hump Day jerseys, which debuted June 1 as part of the Half-Price Hump Day weekly special, presented by The GFS Store. Fans who come out to Fifth Third Bank Ballpark for Wednesday evening games are not only treated to half-price reserved and lawn seat tickets, regular-size sodas, burgers, pizza, nachos, popcorn and select souvenirs, but they also get the chance to watch the Cougars play in a jersey featuring a camel on both the front and back of the jersey.

The blog also recognized the first Military Honor Photo jersey, designed

by Cougars director of creative services Emmet Broderick. Worn on July 2 for Military Appreciation Night, the jersey featured fan-submitted portraits of current military members and veterans. The photos were laid out along the shoulders of the jersey to symbolize that we carry the weight of those who protect our freedom upon our shoulders, the news release stated.

Urban Counter in St. Charles offers ‘high quality, fresh’ food

By CLAIRE JACOBI cjacobi@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, July 28, 2016

ST CHARLES – After successfully changing perspectives about gas station food, the new restaurant concept Urban Counter still is growing and has opened a location in St. Charles.

The new location sits right next to The PRIDE BP gas station. There are four other Urban Counters in Aurora, Wheaton, Hinsdale and Chicago. The new addition in St. Charles came with trying to get more businesses in the area, according to Mario Spina, CEO of The PRIDE Stores Inc. “We know we have a really loyal customer base, and we thought the Urban Counter concept would go very, very well there,” Spina said.

‘Heathers: The Musical’ brings mayhem to Pheasant Run stage

By TOM WITOM editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – The date is Sept.

9, 1989, and the scene is somewhere in Ohio, where angst has bubbled over among once-kindhearted students at Westerberg High who have now become totally self-absorbed and taken a turn for the worse.

That sets the scene for the lively Vero Voce Theater production of the dark “Heathers: The Musical” at Pheasant Run Resort. Based on the film written by Daniel Walters, the production draws from the book, music and lyrics by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’Keefe.

A huge, able and mostly young cast under the command of director David M. Rodriguez brings the fast-paced, two-act show to life. Choreography is by Haleigh Hutchinson and vocal direction by Dawn Hawkins.

Brainy Veronica Sawyer is flattered to be the newest recruit to the Heathers, an elitist clique of girls that includes Heather Chandler (Lauren Freas), Heather McNamara (Kayla Bussert) and Heather Duke (Natalie Sweeney). The group is obsessed with popularity and flirts with boys, drugs and drinking.

Based on those recurring themes, as well as suicide, violence and strong language, the show is recommended for mature audiences.

Meanwhile, Veronica’s longtime friendship with Martha Dunsock (Maddy Donatelli) is imperiled by Veronica’s ties to her new circle of

pals who don’t hesitate playing a cruel prank on the unsuspecting Martha.

The arrival of a handsome new kid at the school, JD (Justin Knautz), promises further changes for Veronica, especially when he offers to protect her from bullies “no matter what it takes.” But JD’s attentions come with a dark side: The more Veronica gets to know his background and that of his quirky father, the more she wants to distance herself from him.

Two annoying boys, Ram Sweeney (Nathan Knautz) and Kurt Kelly (J.D. Rodriguez), play over-the-top sexually frustrated jocks given to chasing anyone in a skirt.

Veronica, longing to regain her life as a “normal” 17-year-old, confronts an out-of-control JD, warning him that he has gone over the bend and can no longer tell right from wrong.

Without revealing too much, suffice it to say the body count rises before order is finally restored.

Beating the odds

When Parnell was in kindergarten, she sang in a talent show. Rather, she was supposed to sing in a talent show.

“She freaked out and started crying, and almost ran off the stage,” recalled her mother, Jennifer Parnell, noting her daughter suffered from terrible stage fright from then on.

“She never sang again, not for years and years. I never even knew she had any talent.”

Fast forward to high school, when Parnell heard “The Queen of the Night Aria” from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute.”

“My music history teacher said it was an impossible song to sing, and I thought, ‘I could probably sing it,’” Parnell said, adding, “I like to prove people wrong; I like the challenge.”

She searched online for an opera instructor and found Enchanted Voices, now Fox Valley Music Studio, headed by Sior.

The honors student had no idea what to expect, but she enrolled in lessons once a week, hoping to use the time to de-stress and break away from academic work.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the relaxation tool she imagined.

“It was pretty rough,” Parnell admitted. “I had a lot of trouble learning to hear the different tones – sharp or flat – it got really frustrating to me.

I’m a complete perfectionist, so it’s hard for me to know I’m not doing it right, but I can’t figure out why I’m doing it wrong.”

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.

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

ELBURN – You might not expect a teenager with blue hair to be classically trained in opera.

But Lauren Parnell of Elburn, who at the moment is sporting a pastel-to-turquoise blue ombre effect, likes to defy the odds, whether it’s choosing an interesting hair color or singing some of the hardest music a performer can muster.

Parnell, 18, recently sang in her last “official” classical opera performance as part of The Fox Valley Rising Stars – A Young Artist Program in Concert through Soirée Lyrique, NFP. During the performance, which took place July 17 at Evangelical Covenant Church in Elgin, she sang the mezzo part in the trio “Soave sia il Photo provided vento” from the opera “Cosi fan tutte”

by Mozart, as well as “Il dolce suono” Lauren Parnell of Elburn is classically trained in opera. from the tragic Italian opera “Lucia di Lammermoor” by Donizetti.

worked harder than her,” Sior said.

“Her big solo from ‘Lucia’ is full of acrobatic, ornamental music and … I didn’t think she could learn it. She’s the one who [suggested it]. I didn’t think she could do it, and she’s doing it.”

The 2016 Kaneland High School graduate will head to the University of Illinois-Springfield this fall to study pre-med with the hopes of becoming a neonatal surgeon – a field well-removed from the musical arts.

But she’ll take with her all that she’s gained from singing opera – courage, self-confidence and discipline – and she encourages others to give it a try.

“If nothing else, it’s fun for the experience,” she said. “You get to learn so much … You get to meet so many people and get so much more active in the arts.”

Discussing rock ’n’ roll music mash-ups What would YOUR fantasy music mash-up be?

Rock ’n’ roll has “officially” been around for 60-plus years. Hundreds of bands and thousands of musicians and vocalists have put their rockin’-riffs out there for us to bob our heads up and down to, the way Wayne and Garth so poignantly displayed in “Wayne’s World” to the tune of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

For me, I have been air-guitaring and dashboard-keyboard playing for about 40 years. That translates to hundreds of my solo performances to “Stairway to Heaven,” “Magic Carpet Ride,” and “Free Bird.” And it never gets old, at least to me. However, I can’t speak about my family who has had to witness my Davy Jones/Axl Rose shimmy across the dining room floor on more occasions than I would admit to, or my at-the-top-of-my-lungs rendition of “Beginnings” by the band Chicago as they were trapped with me in the car on a road trip.

But as my love for all music has never waned, I must admit that something a bit fresh is always nice. The contemporary music that is coming out today isn’t really my cup of Nestle’s Quik (when was the last time you had a tall, cold glass of that?). So once

BACKSTAGE QUESTIONS WITH ...

Ron Onesti in a while, I try to mix it up for my guests at The Arcada.

I often fantasize about what-if concerts. For example, what if two of my favorite bands, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, played together on the same night, on the same stage? The cool thing about being in this business and having my own place is that I can make things happen that I like. So how can I make this fantasy mash-up happen? It is for me to figure out!

Last Saturday night, July 23, it all came together, when I brought together Kashmir, the Led Zeppelin tribute, and mashed them up with Echoes of Pompei, the Pink Floyd tribute, and added an incredible laser light show outdoors at Vasa Park in South Elgin!

BAM! A rock ‘n’ roll fantasy night!

I had worked with both bands separately many times before, but never together, and after working with many similarly styled acts, THESE bands are the tops! Musically, both acts are just fabulous. Kashmir and its fearless

leader, Frank Livingston, completely embody the Zeppelin experience. The band is spot on musically, including the difficult vocalizations of Robert Plant. And Livingston’s personification of Jimmy Page is hauntingly good, down to his bow-on-guitar jam in the audience. Echoes, well, I can’t say enough about this band. Twin brothers are joined by 12 just amazing musicians and backup singers to create a Pink Floyd salute like I have never witnessed before. Add the laser-effects wizardry of Joe Marchetti to create a 360-degree visual experience along the trees of Vasa Park ... OMG, what a night!

I have done this sort of thing a few times before, and each time, it made for a truly memorable night. Actually, my very first show at The Arcada Theatre was a fantasy mash-up. I had often wondered what it would be like if The Beatles played with Paul McCartney’s Wings. So I hired one of the country’s top Beatles tribute bands, American English, and joined them with the original members of Wings!

That’s right! I worked for months to wrangle them together, and with the help of American English leader Eric Michaels, we made an incredible and rare thing happen!

First, we tracked down Denny Laine, who was Paul’s partner in founding the Wings. He was also one of the founding members of The Moody Blues, so he was a cool guy to get. Then we sought out the other members of the band, excluding Paul and Linda McCartney, of course. One by one, we found them, from London, Los Angeles and New Orleans, and they all agreed to play in my fantasy show!

So American English opened the show in their 1964, Ed Sullivan Showera suits. They did an hour of just Beatle-mania. Then the Paul McCartney character put his head down and a single blue light remained on him. All the other lights went black and the rest of the American English guys left the stage as the entire Wings band took their places. After 20 long seconds of silence, the familiar and powerful opening to the Wings’ hit “Jet” filled the theater as the lights blasted on to reveal the stage complete with Laine, those amazing Wings’ horns and the rest of the guys! For the finale, the American English guys joined the Wings band on stage, and it was mop-topped mayhem!

Crispy-Skin Pan-Seared Salmon With Summertime Sucotash Serves 4

4 center-cut salmon fillets, about 6-oz. each, skin on and scaled, pin bones removed, skin dried Fine sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/3 cup Wondra flour 2 Tbl. unsalted butter 4 Tbl. extra-virgin olive oil 1 large shallot, chopped 1-1/2 cups fresh corn kernels 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-in. dice 1 medium red bell pepper, seeded, deribbed and cut into 1/2-in. dice 1/4 cup minced fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley Remove the salmon from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.

Season both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Spread the flour in a pie plate or a wide, shallow bowl. Dip the skin side of each fillet in the flour, shaking off the excess. As the fillets are coated, set them aside, coated-side up, on a plate.

Place a large frying pan, preferably nonstick,

When the pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon each of the butter and olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the shallot and garlic and saute just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the corn, zucchini and bell pepper and saute, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender and just beginning to brown at the edges, about 5 minutes.

Stir in half of the basil and season with salt and pepper. Keep the succotash warm until ready to serve.

Place a large frying pan, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, then press down on each fillet with the back of a metal spatula to maximize the contact with the surface of the pan. (This helps crisp the skin.) Cool on one side, without disturbing, until the skin is crisp and browned, about 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter to the pan and swirl it around the fillets. Turn the fillets skinside up and cook until the salmon is almost opaque throughout but still very moist, or an instant-read thermometer into the center registers 115 to 120 degrees F, about 3 minutes longer.

Spoon a generous serving of the warm succotash in the center of each warmed dinner place, place a salmon fillet, skin-side up, on top, and garnish with the remaining basil. Serve immediately.

It’s simple to save seeds from your favorite veggie Have you considered saving seeds from a favorite vegetable variety? For some vegetables, such as tomatoes, saving seeds is as easy as squishing out a few seeds before you take a big bite!

To be sure that the seeds you collect will breed true to type, start with vegetables that are open pollinated, such as heirlooms. Seeds collected from open pollinated plants will produce plants that look like the parent plants.

Hybrids have two different varieties as parents so they will not breed true.

If you see “hybrid” or “F1” on the seed package, don’t collect seeds from these plants.

Collecting seeds from self-pollinating plants is another way to ensure that the seeds will breed true. These

plants are almost always pollinated before the flower opens, so no pollen from another flower is needed. Many favorite home-grown vegetables are self-pollinating, including beans, peas, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and eggplants.

When you are ready to collect seeds, choose plants that are healthy and true to type. Do not collect seed from plants that are diseased or look unusual. Tomato and pepper seeds are mature when the vegetables are ready

SUPER SCITECH SATURDAY: SCIENCE OF SPORTS, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

These types of shows are really so much fun! There are no egos to consider, no technical issues insurmountable. Just a bunch of people who love the music and are protective of the integrity of the original songs, while at the same time be daring enough to join together as superfan-entertainers!

As we get on in our years and our music gets increasingly more meaningful to us, I think about ways of keeping it alive and fresh on a daily basis. Many of these bands are replacing their original members with new musicians and vocalists. How many of our original musical heroes will actually be still performing in 10 years? I shudder to think about it.

Aside from the Mick and the other Rolling Stones who will survive the armageddon, there will be few music heroes still out there.

But the music MUST endure, and there MUST be live performances. So see as many of your music icons as much as you can now, while they are still around. How many of us wish now that we saw John Lennon, Elvis, even Joan Rivers and Frank Sinatra, just one more time, if even at all? I’m getting musically emotional … .

LEARNING TO GROW Susan Styer

to eat – simply remove seeds and spread them on a paper towel to dry.

For bean and pea seeds, leave a few pods on the vine to grow and turn brown. When the pods are dry, remove the seeds. Eggplants and lettuce need to grow past their prime eating stage to produce mature seeds. Wait for eggplants to turn yellow and the flesh to become dry. Then cut them open and remove the seeds. Let lettuce bolt, sending up flowers in a stalk. When the flowers turn brown, collect the seeds.

Moisture and high heat are damaging to stored seeds. Leave seeds out in the air to dry before you store them.

After seed are dry, put them in labeled envelopes or plastic bags inside an airtight container, such as a glass

jar. Many people store jars of seeds in the basement because it has a mild, constant temperature. A refrigerator is an even better place if you want to store seeds for many years. Storing seeds in a garage is rarely a good idea because it can get very hot for long time periods in the summer.

By adding just a few extra steps to your gardening, you can enjoy your favorites for free!

• CHARITY Pruden herself went through a grueling chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer when she was 30.

“When I was diagnosed, I did not qualify for disability,” Pruden said.

“I could work through my chemo, but some days, I could not get out of bed.”

Pruden said she faced a $3,000 deductible on her medical insurance and struggled to pay her bills when Behm started a T-shirt sale and raised $2,000 to help her pay bills and make up time she missed at work.

“After I was in remission, Melissa and I thought it would be a wonderful idea to pay it forward and help other cancer patients going through the same financial struggles with their medical bills and other expenses,” Pruden

Parnell’s training helped her overcome her stage fright.

“Recently, she and her sisters were at a park in Naperville [and she started singing],” Jennifer Parnell said. “People were asking for requests.”

They incorporated their charity, Fight, Survive, Cure, in 2012, and raised more than $50,000 to help 12 cancer patients, she said. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go to a 27-year-old Rockford woman with brain cancer and a South Elgin woman with liver cancer, Pruden said.

Pruden said they also send out Brighter Day Packages to cancer patients that include activity books to pass the time during treatments and gift certificates for gas to and from their doctor appointments. Pruden, 34, an Elgin resident, works in the operations division at the Merlin 200,000 Mile Shops headquarters in St. Charles.

At the time of her cancer treatment, the Kane County Chronicle wrote about Pruden and her co-workers, who shaved their heads in solidarity for her.

“We should get ice cream,” I said, nodding toward a nearby drive-thru as I dialed the next dealer on my list.

Yes, ice cream would be good. I put the phone on speaker and Noah listened as I interviewed the next salesman about his inventory. They’d need clean Carfaxes before I’d get too excited. The salesman put me on hold so he could look them up.

“Can we get ice cream so at least I have something to do?” Noah asked.

“Cone or cup?” asked the disembodied voice.

“Cone,” I replied, though I’d come to regret it.

“Hold my ice cream,” I said a few minutes later, after Noah pulled back into our parking spot and I dialed the next dealer.

“No.” Huh. But I’d need to hold my phone in one hand and take notes with the other. I only had two hands.

“No,” he said, when I asked again as the phone’s ring echoed in the car.

“You’ll figure it out.” What the heck?

I guess he really wanted that other car. I really didn’t. I’m nothing if not resourceful, though, so I began exploring the possibilities. I tried placing the cone in the cup holder. Of course that wouldn’t do. And nor would the door handle. Ooh, but the plastic lid of Noah’s soda, still attached to the cup and anchored in the cup holder? That would do perfectly! Triumphantly I slid my cone into the hole alongside his straw and grinned.

“Brilliant Subaru!” Her perky voice echoed from the speaker as we came undone. There was no way I could regain my composure once the belly laughs began. I had to hang up. It was time for a break.

“I love the tail lights,” I said about the car in front of us as we headed home.

“Is that because they’re round?”

Noah asked. He sighed. He was still stuck on that other car.

“Yes,” as a matter of fact, it is. I don’t care if it sounds crazy. So be it.

Whatever.

“Hey, Holly,” Noah called out, when we arrived home, “we found a great car that Mom doesn’t like for no reason.” Yeah, he was stuck on that car. But I was done, and so were they.

We settled on a Subaru. A Subaru with a side of laughs? I’ll take it.

We continue from last week’s column ... .

I’d been driving for a few minutes.

“Can Noah drive?” I asked my latest car-salesman-victim. Noah had turned 18 just two days before, and I knew he’d want to. The answer was yes. Cool! He loved that car, but it wasn’t the one for me. But he never got to test drive the next car. It groaned when I accelerated, and so did we. Yikes, but you need to be able to nimbly dodge Mack trucks when they’re bearing down on you. This wouldn’t do. Onward.

Car shopping is exhausting. Before heading to see the next bargain on our list, we pulled into a parking lot so I could call the dealer. You know, to make sure it was actually on the lot.

It wasn’t, but the salesman hoped I’d come in to see the others he had for sale. He was 30 minutes away, though, so instead I tried to pick his brain. He wasn’t game. “Ma’am, just come on in and I’ll tell you all about them when you get here.” I sighed and thanked him for his time.

Spider veins unsightly but harmless Dear Dr. K: I have developed many small, thin veins on my legs. I would like to get rid of them. What is the most effective treatment?

Dear Reader: Superficial leg veins, sometimes called “spider veins,” occur when tiny veins appear just below the surface of the skin, causing red, blue or purple discolorations. Spider veins get their name from the shape of the discolorations. Some cases of spider veins can be quite small; others are more noticeable. They may make you feel self-conscious, but they are harmless.

(I’ve put an illustration of spider veins on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Spider veins are a sign that there are abnormalities in the deeper veins of the legs. Those deep veins have little valves in them. Blood in the veins of the legs is returning from the legs to the heart.

When we are sitting or standing, gravity is pulling the blood downward, away from the heart. The valves prevent gravity from doing that.

As we get older, the valves become less effective. The extra blood that gravity pulls down into the leg veins causes the pressure in the veins to rise. Ultimately, that increased pressure swells the tiny veins beneath the skin -- leading to spider veins.

Spider veins are most common on the thighs, ankles and calves. They are more common in women than men, and they can run in families. Some cases are related to pregnancy, use of birth control pills or weight gain. Spider veins may be permanent, or they may disappear on their own, especially if they are caused by pregnancy or certain medications.

Spider veins do not require treatment for any medical reason. Treatment is usually done for cosmetic reasons only.

In some people, support stockings may decrease the size of existing spider veins

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and help to prevent new ones. If that doesn’t do the trick, the two most common cosmetic treatments for spider veins are sclerotherapy and laser treatment: • Sclerotherapy involves having a salt solution injected directly into the affected area. This liquid causes irritation and inflammation of the vein, leading to its collapse. The area may be tender for a few days. Any bruising should fade over a few weeks. Sclerotherapy may require multiple treatments. The injections can be slightly painful.

• Laser treatment directs pulses from a laser light to the spider veins, causing tiny blood clots to form. The blood vessels that form the legs of the “spider” become blocked off and are reabsorbed by the body.

Each treatment has its pros and cons.

Sclerotherapy is better for larger veins, but it involves needles and injections. Laser therapy can be as effective for smaller veins, but it may result in loss of skin pigment. In studies comparing the treatments, sclerotherapy is more likely to be successful.

Maintaining a healthy weight and staying physically fit tend to reduce the pressure inside leg veins. Wearing support hose can further protect against the development of more spider veins. To get rid of the ones you have, talk to your doctor about the alternatives I’ve described.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS

Dear Abby: DEAR ABBY I am an overweight woman. I Jeanne have been in the Phillips process of losing weight for more than five years. I got married three years ago to an amazing guy. He’s the sweetest man I have ever met. Something he said recently really bothers me. He said he thinks I’m fat. While I know I’m fat – and admit it out loud – I never thought it was appropriate for your significant other to say it to you. I am at a loss as to what to do because he is right, but it hurts my feelings that he not only thinks it but says it. I have tried talking to him about how it makes me feel, but he just shrugs his shoulders. He sees nothing wrong with calling me fat. What do you think? –

Big Girl in Champaign, Ill. Dear Big Girl: If you call yourself fat, then it’s

– Out of the Picture Dear Out of the Picture: When a couple has

been living together for two years and spends the majority of their time together, their friends usually know they are involved. That Shane has cultivated an image of himself online as fancy-free seems strange to me, too. It may be that he is self-centered, or that he’s not as committed to your relationship as you would like him to be.

When you tell a person something bothers you, and that person not only doesn’t do something about it but blames you, it’s a red flag. But if everything else in the relationship is as fine as you say, it doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker. I assume you have a social media presence of your own. I suggest that you fill it with lots of pictures of Shane, the two of you together and the places you’re going together.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 17-yearold young woman who is very concerned about my complexion.

Until the last few months I had a perfectly clear complexion. At the beginning of our school summer break, my boyfriend and I began a sexual relationship.

About three weeks later, I started to notice that my face was breaking out. We have been sexually active for about two months and my complexion is not clearing up.

Is it possible that my sexual activity is causing my complexion problem? Our sexual activity hasn’t bothered my boyfriend’s complexion. – Nameless, Lima.

Ohio.

Nameless: I talked with Dr.

Jeffrey Lauber, a Southern California dermatologist, and this is his answer: “There is no evidence that sexual activity has any role in causing acne. Sexual activity or the lack of sexual activity will not influence your acne condition.”

He suggested that you visit a dermatologist at your earliest convenience, and said that he was 99 percent sure your complexion will improve with proper treatment.

Dr. Wallace: My mother found a pack of cigarettes in my room and blew her mind until I convinced her I was only keeping them for my best friend, whose

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace father is a minister. This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I thought she’d be cool and tell me she was happy the cigarettes weren’t mine.

But, instead, she called my best friend’s mother and told her everything. Now my girlfriend is grounded for two months and won’t talk to me. Since I really didn’t do anything wrong, I don’t understand why my friend is mad at me. Do you? – Nameless,

Nashville, Tenn.

Nameless: What you did

wrong was to hide your friend’s cigarettes.

Her problem became yours.

Chances are, after your friend serves her “sentence, the friendship will return. And, if your friend stops smoking for good, then this story has a happy ending.

Dr. Wallace: Our parents were divorced two years ago and my sister and I were glad to see our father leave. He was always drunk or, if sober, in a foul mood. Since he has been gone, our home has been cheery and pleasant.

I’m 17 now and my sister is 16. We have only seen our father

maybe a dozen times since the divorce.

Last night, to our surprise, our mother told us that she and our dad were going to get married again. We were really shocked and we could not believe that she would marry him again.

We both told her we did not want him to move back into our home.

She said that he has changed and that she has really missed him while he was gone.

We both think she is making a big mistake. How can we get our mother to change her mind?

Please hurry with your answer.

– Olivia, Phoenix, Ariz.

Olivia: It is imperative that

your mother explains all the reasons that she plans to remarry your father. Has he stopped drinking? Is his demeanor more cheery? You and your sister should discuss these issues with both mother and father present so that you can understand their decision.

Of course, your parents deserve another chance at happiness together, but only if your father has made the necessary corrections in his attitude and lifestyle.

Make sure your mother and father read my response.

possible your husband didn’t think his doing so would hurt your feelings. Straighten him out.

And when you do, tell him what other terms you would prefer he use (i.e., “big and beautiful,” “bountiful and bodacious,” etc.). Point out that whether it is a large or small amount, getting weight off is difficult. He married you when you were heavier, so he should be aware not only that you’re making progress, but also that you need his support.

Dear Abby: I’m 30 and have lived with my boyfriend, “Shane,” for two years. We spend lots of time together, our families socialize and we have a good relationship. My problem is Shane’s use of social media. He takes a lot of pictures and posts them online while we’re together, but I am never in them and he never mentions that I’m there. Example: We took trips to Las Vegas, New York and Jamaica. He posted dozens of pictures of himself, but none of us together. When we go to nice restaurants, he shoots pictures of the food and solo selfies, but never mentions that I’m there, too. He has female friends I have never met who comment on all his fabulous adventures. It appears to me that Shane has created an online image as an exciting, jet-setting single guy. But when I say that, he tells me I am being “immature.” I am considering ending the relationship because of this. What do you think?

Can sex cause complexion problems?

the episode that launched the show’s second season. Jason Patric (“Rush”) joins the cast as a doctor who’s new to the locale, but soon finds himself battling the so-called First Generation. Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond”) also joins the show here.

9 p.m. on _ WLS Boston EMS Unscripted series with medical themes have been parts of ABC’s summer lineup for a number of years, and the secondseason premiere of this show maintains the tradition. As its title suggests, it follows Massachusetts first responders as they deal with a variety of cases. Some of those profiled here have connections to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, and they discuss how they have dealt with the aftermath and carried on in their professions.

10 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free “Pressure’s On” is a more-than-apt title for this episode, as tension builds for the couples involved in the competition. Hosts Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow advise them to keep their cool, but that proves to be easier said than done as the challenges increase — a phenomenon not unknown to many other people who have tried to generate their “dream house.”

7 p.m. on + WTTW Dancing on the Edge The drama continues by potentially charting the fates of a number of characters, as Pamela, Stanley and Sarah (Joanna Vanderham, Matthew Goode, Janet Montgomery) do what they can to help the fugitive Louis (Chiwetel Ejiofor) keep the police from catching him. Lady Cremone (Jacqueline Bisset) is of considerably less assistance, since she’s convinced of Louis’ guilt. Sarah is swayed to reveal things she shouldn’t to a police officer. John Goodman also stars.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD Teen Choice 2016 As usual, the lucky will leave with a surfboard, since that’s the “trophy” in this annual ceremony that reveals young fans’ picks of favorites in movies, television, music, sports, fashion and social media.

Victoria Justice and WWE icon (and “American Grit” host) John Cena preside over the event at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., with Justin Timberlake slated to receive the Decade Award. Scheduled performers include Flo Rida, Charlie Puth and Serayah.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary What starts as a routine college campus tour for Elizabeth and Alison (Tea Leoni, Kathrine Herzer) turns into an ambush when Elizabeth is confronted by an angry crowd protesting a Chilean mining operation that involves both the U.S. and Chilean governments. Elsewhere, Henry, Jane and Jose Campos (Tim Daly, Jill Hennessy, Carlos Gomez) search for the third wife of Jibral Disah in “Higher Learning.”

8 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid They don’t always agree as panelists on “Shark Tank,” which makes it likely that Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John also will be strong competitors in this new episode. That’s actually the second contest, and in the first, current “America’s Funniest Home Videos” host Alfonso Ribeiro and chef Mario Batali (“The Chew”) try to get their respective teammates to the Winner’s Circle by guessing clues to categories correctly. Michael Strahan is the host.
