Subscriber night and a first pitch

Last month, Shaw Media – owner of the Kane County Chronicle, Elburn Herald and Sugar Grove Herald – hosted a subscriber night at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva.

The company gave away thousands of tickets to the Kane County Cougars game that night, July 27. And we thank all the readers who came out for some Class-A baseball.

As part of the event, I was invited to throw out a ceremonial first pitch.

I jumped at the chance and – the day before the game – practiced my pitching skills with my husband in our backyard.

It was fun to throw the ol’ ball around. By the time we wrapped up our practice session, I felt pretty confident that I wouldn’t make a complete and total buffoon of myself when throwing out the first pitch for the Cougars game against the Cedar Rapids Kernels.

Shortly after arriving at the

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar ballpark on July 27, I went to guest services to get the low-down on what I would need to do as part of the firstpitch experience.

Several people were slated to throw out first pitches that particular evening, including Ryan Wells Jr., the son of Kane County Chronicle General Manager Ryan Wells.

We all grouped together at a certain time and then made our way onto the field.

Each of us was given a Cougars baseball to throw (which we later got to keep) and were told some basic instructions.

Then, one by one, we each stepped up in front of the pitcher’s mound to lob our pitches.

Maple Park Village Board OKs new water monitoring system Village Board votes to approve liquor control ordinance updates

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – The Maple Park Village Board voted Aug. 2 on a motion to approve the purchase of a camera monitoring system for its water tower and wastewater treatment plant.

The system – set not to exceed $15,000 – will have cameras placed at the village water tower, as well as the wastewater treatment plant. The cameras can help monitor certain chlorine readings and will hopefully eliminate the need for having someone go check the readings on weekends.

Trustee Terry Borg expressed concern over getting internet service installed in order for the cameras to be monitored remotely.

Water towers are often difficult to get internet service to, but the cameras have a DVR to roll back tapes, trustee

Chris Higgins said.

Borg said the board should wait until they find out if internet service can be installed to make such a large purchase. The board voted anyway, passing the vote unanimously, with six ayes.

The board also passed an ordinance that would update certain provisions in the Maple Park Liquor Control Ordinance to align with the Illinois State Law. The changes in the ordinance allow a village trustee to hold an interest in a liquor license under certain conditions and also include an update to formally identify limited liability companies as being under the same restrictions as corporations that hold licenses.

“Why wasn’t there a comprehensive alignment between our ordinance and the state’s ordinance?” Borg said.

“Can we be more restrictive than the state?”

The ordinance was passed with four ayes; trustees Luke Goucher and Brandon Harris abstained.

When it was my turn, I tried to stay focused – on the pitch and just having fun. Wearing a softball-style Cougars shirt that I own with the ball in my left hand, I lined myself up with the catcher, took a breath and threw.

My pitch would have been called a ball if an umpire had been present and working, but it made its way into the pitcher’s glove, so I was happy. I gave a little fist pump in the air, and then made my way back to the stands.

Thanks to the Cougars for the experience. To view a photo of my first pitch, visit this column online at www.kcchronicle.com.

Elburn-area kids Read for the Win this summer

By SUZANNE FLYNN

News to your phone

editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Nearly 500 community members came to Town & Country Public Library in Elburn on Aug. 5 to celebrate the end to the library’s annual summer reading program, Read – For the Win! The party included entertainment for the entire family: a face painter from Sparkles Entertainment, a henna artist, magician Sean Masterson, and interactive musician/entertainer Dave Rudolf.

“We also incorporated this year’s theme and had fun yard games such as bubbles, sidewalk chalk, bean bags, flying disc toss, tug of war, lawn twister and pool noodle target toss all set up outside for everyone to play,” said Jeanine McDonald, youth services manager.

The library served 50 pizzas, chips, water, Gatorade and nachos, and Colonial Cafe brought 380 ice cream cups for patrons to enjoy during the party.

“Planning and putting on the event is a lot of work, but we enjoy it very much,” McDonald said. “The heartfelt thanks we receive from the kids and families during the event makes it all worth it. We went home that night with huge smiles on our faces, knowing it was a success.”

The summer reading program has been going on at the library for nearly 50 years.

“It has evolved and gotten better over the past 20 years, and especially since the Illinois Library Association has gotten involved,” McDonald said.

Natalie Lycan, 10, and Kaiden Lycan, 7, of Elburn assist magician Sean Masterson during the Town & Country Public Library’s summer reading grand finale party Aug. 5 in Elburn.

The ILA provides libraries throughout the state with summer reading program themes, promotional materials and raffle prizes.

“The library used to just have a musical group come in and provide entertainment as the end-of-the-year party,” McDonald said. “But the grand finale party took off about six years after a renaissance fair-themed summer read-

ing program, and the community just loved it. The youth services managers have continued [the finale] since then, and I plan on continuing it while I’m here.”

The summer reading program is an incentive to get kids reading over the summer. The more kids read, the more prizes they earn. The preschool through elementary school-aged stu-

dents are able to pick a prize for every 150 minutes they read, with a chance to pick a total of four prizes.

This year, prizes included semiprofessional sports tickets, entertainment passes, bowling, free food, museum admission, store gift cards and more.

All kids received a raffle ticket at each level with a chance to win more prizes such as water bottles, sports bags and towels. The grand prizes included a one-year family membership to Brookfield Zoo, a $100 gift certificate to Best Buy, or a $100 gift certificate to Learning Express.

The sixth-grade through 17-year-old age group had the same prizes listed above, in addition to a free smoothie from The Corner Grind and a beach towel. Teens were required to read an entire book at each level. Raffle tickets gave them the chance to win movie tickets, iTunes gift cards, free meals and more. Grand prizes were Bluetooth speakers and an iPad mini.

McDonald said the library wants to be the hub of the Elburn community.

“We want to be this awesome place for the community to gather – not just a place to come check out books, but to [also] hang out, do gaming, use technology and do research,” she said. “That is our goal, and the summer reading program is just a small part of it.”

Elburn Days to deliver three days of entertainment

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com ELBURN – The Elburn Lions Club, celebrating its 86th anniversary this year, is busy preparing for its largest annual fundraiser.

Elburn Days is set for Aug. 19 to 21 at Lions Park, 500 Filmore St., Elburn. Profits generated by the threeday event are donated to Elburn Lions Charities to help with everything from glaucoma screening to guide and service dogs, programs for the visually and hearing impaired, juvenile diabetes research, literacy outreach and more.

Event chairman Kevin Poust said there will be a food drive held in conjunction with the festival.

“Food donation boxes will be set up throughout the park,” Poust said.

“The Elburn Lions Club will match all donations, which will be sent to the El-

burn and Sugar Grove food pantries.”

Elburn Days kicks off with a parade at 6 p.m. Aug. 19. Poust said the parade can take up to 85 applicants and will last about 90 minutes. The parade will start on Shannon Street, go south on Route 47, and then head west by Bob Jass Chevrolet into Lions Park.

The carnival will be open for patrons with special needs before the parade, Poust said.

“Kids will be able to go on the rides without all the flashing lights and everything,” he said.

Taking place from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, Elburn Days’ scheduled activities include raffles, a carnival, beer garden, concessions, the third annual pie-baking contest, bingo, rummage sale, bake sale, mud volleyball, 4-H livestock show, petting zoo, book sale, truck and tractor pull ($5 admission), craft show, HobbyTown Charity Race, Elburn Community Congregational Church celebration,

bands and food vendors, including Ream’s Meat Market.

Poust said the petting zoo is a new attraction this year.

“There’s no fee for the petting zoo,” Poust said, adding that patrons can expect to see sheep, piglets, baby cows and full-grown show cows.

The band lineup includes The Moonlight Pickers, Hi Infidelity, Whisky Romance, Stereo Heart, TNT Chicago, Stroker Red and Back Country Roads. There will be other free shows all weekend long on the Community Stage, including a visit from Ronald McDonald, exercise classes, dance performances, Sunday worship, Disney princesses, a Colonial Cafe ice cream-eating contest, magic show and more.

One thing security is stressing this year is that no alcoholic beverages can be brought in from outside the park, Poust said.

“If you’re caught, you’ll be asked to leave,” he said.

This year’s festival theme is “Working with you to make a better community.” Admission is free, but a parking donation is requested. Lions Park is located one block west of Route 47 on Stetzer Avenue. The park entrance will be open from Stetzer Avenue on Friday, and from South Street on Saturday and Sunday.

The Elburn Lions Club has been busy remodeling Lions Park this year and making playground improvements.

“It’s our largest fundraiser of the year; this is how we sustain the park,” Poust said. “Come on out, enjoy the festivities, and take a look at the park.

We’ve done a lot of improvements this past year.”

Judge names McMahon School resource officers: as special prosecutor in Issues in western Kane Laquan McDonald case

By ASHLEY SLOBODA

asloboda@shawmedia.com

Kane County State’s Attorney to present argument against police officer Jason Van Dyke KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com Kane County State’s Attorney Joe McMahon has a new role in Cook County.

On Aug. 4, Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent M. Gaughan appointed McMahon as special prosecutor in the Jason Van Dyke case, according to a news release.

Van Dyke is the white Chicago police officer charged with the murder of Laquan McDonald. Van Dyke is accused of shooting the 17-year-old 16 times in 2014.

McMahon’s team consists of four other prosecutors, including Jody Gleason, Joe Cullen and Dan Weiler of the Kane

County State’s Attorney’s Office, the release said.

“This is an important case involving serious allegations,” McMahon said in the release. “It should be handled by a Joe public prosecutor and McMahon an experienced prosecution team. This is a job I’ve been asked to do, and it’s what the public expects of its state’s attorneys.”

Van Dyke is next expected in court at 9 a.m. Aug. 18 at the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building in Chicago, the release said.

McMahon indicated he is limited about what he can say about the case.

“I cannot talk about any aspect of actual or potential evidence, and I cannot offer opinions about the case,” he said in the release.

“We have one goal in this case, and that’s to present the truth in court and seek justice.”

GENEVA – Parents, staff members and a recent graduate from Kaneland and Central high schools Aug. 9 called upon the Kane County Board to reinstate their school resource officers by the time the academic year begins in two weeks.

“As a parent, I do not understand why this is a question,” Kaneland parent C.J. Conley said during public comment. “This is critical.”

Kane County Sheriff Donald Kramer, who did not address the issue publicly, said in the hallway afterward that, pending a signed agreement, the schools will share an officer starting on the first day of school. As a supplement, he said, officers on patrol also will stop by the schools.

He said the arrangement isn’t a matter of him not caring about students’ safety.

“There’s nobody who cares more about kids than I do,” Kramer said.

Nor is the situation a financial one, he said.

“I don’t have the personnel,” he said, noting he faces 17 vacancies due to such issues as workers’ compensa-

tion, military leave, retirements and resignations.

Providing the schools with an officer to share was, in his opinion, an “olive branch,” Kramer said.

Kaneland School District 302 Superintendent Todd Leden said it is “past the point of frustration” and time for a solution to have an officer in both schools. Representatives from the schools spoke about the value of having an officer in their building.

Diane McFarlin, Kaneland High School’s assistant principal, said the officer has “saved lives through her work” and has established trusting relationships with at-risk students and their families.

Kaneland Principal Jill Maras said she has “found great comfort” in having an officer at her school, adding “one can’t truly put a price tag” on the officer’s value.

Landon Mosley, a recent Kaneland graduate, said fights are prevented by having an officer in the hallways, and the officer is present to disarm potential perpetrators during lockdowns.

The County Board didn’t take any action on the issue, but member Drew Frasz asked Kramer to reinstate the officers for the first day of school.

State’s attorney seeks staff to review challenged convictions U.S. News ranks Delnor among best hospitals in region

By ASHLEY SLOBODA

asloboda@shawmedia.com

ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office might soon have staff dedicated to re-examining cases when new evidence casts doubt on convictions.

During his monthly meeting with reporters, State’s Attorney Joe McMahon on Aug. 3 said the creation of a three-person conviction integrity unit is part of his 2017 proposed budget, as is committing $40,000 to crisis intervention training for police.

He acknowledged the county’s budgeting challenges can seem “insurmountable” – it is facing a budget gap of about $5 million – but such issues have arisen in the past.

“We’re going to get through this,” McMahon said.

Executive Finance Director Joe Onzick wrote in an email that the $5.4 million budget gap represents $1.8 million less revenue compared to the previous budget and $3.6 million more in expenses.

A variety of factors – including reductions in personal property replace-

ment tax revenue, fees collected by the circuit clerk and grants – caused the drop in revenue, Onzick wrote.

He wrote the increase in expenditures can be attributed to increases in salary and wages for existing personnel; increased benefits costs; the apparent need to subsidize court security; and the cost of 17 new personnel requested by the sheriff, public defender and McMahon.

In addition to reviewing cases where new evidence has cast doubt on the conviction, McMahon said the conviction integrity unit would handle post-conviction petitions.

A total of 321 such petitions have been filed in the last seven years, McMahon said, adding allegations about defense lawyers are common. For example, he said, defendants might have wanted a bench trial but instead had a jury trial or had an alibi that their lawyer never presented.

McMahon said his staff has absorbed this work in the last several years, but there is only so much his staff can do.

“These claims deserve to be looked at with a fresh set of eyes,” he said.

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – Delnor Hospital in Geneva continues to rank among the best hospitals in the region and in the state, according to a news release.

In its latest list of America’s best hospitals, U.S. News & World Report ranked Delnor 19th in the Chicago metro region and 27th statewide, the release said.

“To have Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital recognized

by U.S. News is a testament to our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care that puts the patient first,” Maureen Bryant, president of Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital, said in the release.

“We thank the Delnor medical staff and employees for their consistent efforts to make Delnor a premier destination for medical care in the western suburbs. Without their dedication and commitment to our pa-

tients, this recognition would not be possible.”

Delnor is among four Northwestern Medicine hospitals to receive recognition, the release said. It noted that Northwestern Memorial Hospital topped the list in both the Chicago metro region and Illinois for the fifth consecutive year.

“With four of our hospitals and 13 clinical care specialties recognized

by U.S. News, this is an achievement that further distinguishes Northwestern Medicine as Chicago’s premier academic health system and reaffirms our commitment to providing world-class health care to our patients,” Dean M. Harrison, president and CEO of Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, said in the release.

According to the release, the rankings considered such factors as patient survival, the number of times a given procedure is performed, infection rates and adequacy of nursing staffing.

D-302 launches new website and OKs hiring of security personnel

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Those who visit Kaneland School District 302’s website this week at www.kaneland. org will be in for a surprise.

The district recently developed a new website that went live late Aug. 8 after the district’s regularly scheduled board of education meeting.

“A lot of time and thought went into it to make it best for our students, families and parents,” said Tim Wolf, Kaneland’s director of technology.

“We tried to make sure it was not gaudy. It’s got a lot of info on it. It’s very lean and quick, and we’re excited about it.”

Citing changes in technology – especially with how many students and parents are electing to visit the website from their cellphones or tablets, rather than computers – Wolf said the new site adapts well to smaller screens that people use while constantly on the go.

“We tested a lot of phones and tablets on it because people are accessing it more now with mobile devices,” he said.

Kaneland alumnus Nic Borg, who was named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list and co-founded Edmndo – a K-12 social learning network – offered his expertise in creating the new website.

“This will be current for at least five to seven years,” Wolf said. “It’s pretty cutting-edge.”

Wolf provided a presentation of the new website during the board meeting. Prior to that, the big discussion concerned the status of a high school resource officer at Kaneland High School.

The Kane County Sheriff’s Office currently has a smaller staff this year, which leaves Kaneland High School with a single school resource officer to share with Central High School in Hampshire.

Trying to fill the void of a full-time school resource of-

ficer solely for Kaneland, the board of education on Aug. 8 authorized its administration to secure additional security services for days that a school resource officer is not present, with a cost not to exceed $12,000.

Board member Peter Lopatin said it’s now in Kane County Sheriff Don Kramer’s hands.

“It’s a temporary fix because the sheriff is unable or unwilling to resolve the issue,” he said. “It’s fully within his control. It’s a staffing issue.”

Last year, Kramer awarded school resource Officer Sarah Conley with a Life Saving Award for helping save the life of a Kaneland student.

“We want to continue to have conversations with [the sheriff] and finalize details,” Kaneland Superintendent Todd Leden said. “That’s why the board acted [on Aug. 8] for additional resources to provide a substitute [school resource officer] or other security personnel when needed.”

It’s nice to be in on the fun sometimes.

At least that’s what I was thinking as I saw Aurora Police Chief Kristen Ziman dancing and giving out free T-shirts as hundreds of fans waited on a hot, sunny day to see Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas at the Chicago Premium Outlets in Aurora.

As with most events such as this, there’s more waiting for the event to start than the actual event. And during all that waiting, there was a lot of dancing, music and fans screaming.

Once Lovato and Jonas arrived to the mall, they took the stage, answered a handful of questions and quickly greeted fans on their way back to a waiting car. It was over in less than 15 minutes.

Q&A

This summer’s rains have left a host of lingering effects, including robust gardens, mosquitoes and fuddles.

If you’re like most folks, you’re probably enjoying the beauty and bounty of that first result and slapping and cursing the second. But unless you’re a birder, you’re likely scratching your head at the third.

A fuddle, or fluddle, is a flooded farm field puddle. While these wet depressions aren’t so good for crops, they make wonderful habitat for invertebrates, and therefore ... shorebirds. That’s right, those birds you might usually associate with beaches and coastlines flock – when there’s enough rain – to farm country.

Lately, local birders have been abuzz about a fuddle on Route 47 in Sugar Grove. The reason? A few weeks ago a rare bird species, the blacknecked stilt, was spotted foraging in the mud.

Himantopus mexicanus, which field guides describe as breeding in shallow wetlands of the western and southeastern United States, was poking around, clear as day. Even better, it wasn’t just one individual blown off course by a storm. Nope. An entire family – two adult black-necked stilts, or BNS, and three juveniles – were seen, suggesting that breeding had occurred right here in Kane County.

My luck and schedule being what they are right now, I haven’t been able to make it to Sugar Grove to see these wondrous birds myself. But John Heneghan, an avid birder from Big Rock, has been following the BNS story since the start. He graciously agreed to answer some questions and bring all “Good Natured” readers up to date.

Good Natured: When did you first become aware of black-necked stilts at the fuddle?

How many did you see?

John Heneghan: On July 19, Jude Vickery, a Kendall County birder, reported the stilts at the Route 47 fuddle on IBET (Illinois Birders Exchanging Thoughts, a dandy listserv). I live 4 miles from the fuddle, so I grabbed my scope, binoculars and camera and went over there. I was familiar with the fuddle as I have seen shorebirds there in the past and counted the fuddle for the Spring Bird Count. I saw two adults and three juveniles in the water. I did not stay at the site long as I did not want to disturb the stilts.

Photo provided by John Heneghan of Big Rock

Black-necked stilts are aptly named. Their long, stilt-like legs are second-longest in proportion to their bodies of any bird species. The birds with the longest legs? Flamingos – not the plastic kind.

Good Natured: On a scale of zero (say, a house sparrow) to a 10 (say, a flamingo, not the plastic kind) how rare would you rate black-necked stilts for our area?

Heneghan: I would say the stilts rate a 7 as they are seen infrequently in spring, but seem to be becoming more common. A stilt was reported at Nygren Wetlands near Rockton a few days ago by Dan Williams. Most bird guides do not show stilts as nesting in Illinois. But they have been nesting at Emiquon and Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuges on the Illinois River near Havana.

Good Natured: Has breeding been confirmed at this site?

Heneghan: I had a conversation with Matthew Cvetas, who does the Rare Bird Alert for Illinois and with Tim Balassie from Kane County Audubon about the stilts and whether they had nested there or stopped there or nested nearby. Matthew and Tim both thought they were too young to fly.

Matthew also mentioned that a pair of stilts had nested in the Kankakee area last summer. This (Sugar Grove location) would be the farthest north stilts had nested in Illinois and the first time they had nested in Kane County. I spoke to Jon Krapfl, a biology tech with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin where stilts nest.

Jon also thought they had nested at the fuddle or nearby. Stilts are seen at Montrose Beach on Lake Michigan in spring as they migrate north to Horicon.

Good Natured: It sounds as though this pair’s number of juveniles has decreased over time. Any guesses as to what may have happened to them?

Heneghan: When I first went to the fuddle, there were three juveniles. A few days later there were two. I was there Sunday, July 31, with Jerry Goldner, a birder from Chicago. We saw an adult bald eagle fly over, and the adult stilts immediately gave chase. They harassed the eagle till it flew away. I have seen the adults chase yellow legs, a type of shorebird, and go after feeding mallards on the fuddle.

I went by the fuddle Monday, Aug. 1, in the morning and there was only one juvenile. I went back in the evening and still one juvenile to be seen. It could have been the eagle, or some other raptor. Maybe a coyote or a fox as the fuddle is surrounded on the west, south and north sides by soybeans.

Good Natured: What do you suppose the birds found attractive about this fuddle?

Heneghan: Stilts like open shallow water to nest near. I believe there are other areas close by that are holding

water. I wonder if this is their first time nesting here.

Good Natured: What other species of shorebirds are present?

Heneghan: I have seen spotted, least and semipalmated sandpipers, lesser and greater yellowlegs, killdeer, great egrets and great blue herons there.

Good Natured: Do you care to predict whether the stilts will return next year?

Heneghan: Stilts have site fidelity, so I would not be surprised to see them back next year. It would depend on whether the fuddle had water, not sure if having corn would make a difference Heneghan also reports that the juvenile flew to the fuddle with its parents on Aug. 4, indicating that the youngster can fly. This new skill, along with the fact that BNS overwinter along southern coastlines, means these local stilts won’t be here much longer. But, fingers crossed, they – and ample rainfall, and the fuddle – might well return in 2017.

Jeske said their most popular items lately are small tables, bookshelves, and pictures of sheep and ships.

“We can’t seem to keep enough of that in stock,” she said.

Jeske and Kostur fill nine of the rooms with antiques, and they have 10 girlfriends who also work at the store and fill the other six rooms. This helps give them a wide variety of items.

New this year is an outdoor garden that customers will have access to all year – weather permitting.

Although they do go to some antique auctions, Jeske said they don’t have to go to many because they receive three to five calls a day from customers with products to sell. They are invited to many private homes to buy furniture directly from local families to sell in the store, she said.

Customers often ask why the store is called Amazing Grace.

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com Thomas Ma is only 22, but he already hopes his efforts will help pave the path for other young entrepreneurs to follow.

The St. Charles East High School alumnus is the founder of Career Podium, an interactive platform that connects employers with passionate candidates. It aims to make job hunting less confusing.

Career Podium was competing to become the Tech.Co Startup of the Year, which Ma described as a “big deal” because the contest included entries from Africa, Asia and Europe, as well as the Americas.

Voting in the reader’s choice poll ended Aug. 5, and the semifinalists were expected to be announced Aug. 10. They will be invited to pitch to judges in September at the Celebrate Conference in San Jose, Calif., where the champion will be selected.

This is Ma’s third or fourth competition, he said, noting he participated in Techweek Chicago in June.

“To be there was an honor,” Ma said, adding the event included “the companies we’re trying to chase after.”

Ma, who graduated from the University of Thomas Ma Illinois at Chicago in May and is the oldest of his seven-member team, said he hopes others will benefit from the example he’s setting.

“We’re showing if you have an idea and go for it, good things can happen,” he said.

Ma’s inspiration for his startup originated in his mother’s nail salon, #1 Nails in St. Charles, he said. He was working there to help pay bills, he said, and he would talk with customers about their experiences in the job market.

Career Podium had not yet launched publicly as of Aug. 2, but Ma said it will include uses for employers and for job-seekers, as well as a way for the two to connect.

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – The headquarters of Weaver Partners now calls Batavia home.

After 13 years in downtown Geneva, the national executive recruiting and retention firm outgrew its rental space and bought an 1800s structure near the Fox River at 112 Spring St. at the corner of North River Street.

It sits two blocks north of Wilson Street in Batavia.

“We gutted it from the roof to the walkout basement,” said managing partner Peter Lindenmeyer of Batavia.

He said the property, which included a 1990 addition, had been vacant for two years. The firm moved into its new, 4,000-square-foot space in July after several months of renovation led by developer Joe Stanton of Geneva.

“He was our general contractor,” said Lindenmeyer, calling Stanton a friend. “Joe and I were on the executive board of the Paul Ruby Foundation for Parkinson’s research. We couldn’t have done this without him.”

He said Stanton’s vision was to preserve the unique character of the historic structure, while designing a modern and creative work environment.

“The new space is full of windows and natural light and will be a great productive space,” said Jason Waggoner of Geneva, the other equity partner in the firm.

The building makeover includes conference facilities, a kitchen, on-site gym and game lounge.

Lindenmeyer said one of the attractions of the location is its own parking lot, and staff members enjoy walking to lunch and having the bike-and-pedestrian bridge across the river just a half block to the south.

“We have loved our time in Geneva, but the timing to buy was ideal with this property on the market,” Lindenmeyer said.

Weaver Partners is focused on the employee benefits industry, and works with benefit providers, consulting firms, investment companies, accountants, third-party administrators and corporate human resources departments.

ELBURN – What was once just a charming house built in the late 1800s was bought in 2004 and fully rehabbed and restored by two longtime friends, Barb Jeske and Claudia Kostur.

A year later, they opened Amazing Grace Antiques inside the house, even though they claim they don’t know anything about antiques.

“We joke that we ourselves are antiques, being as old as we are, but we know nothing about antiques,” Jeske said. “We just wanted a friendly, affordable place in town where people could come every day if they wanted and get a treat.”

Some customers do just that. Homemade baked goods are available for free every day in the store, along with coffee and tea.

“Some customers come in just to chat and have a snack, and that’s OK,” Jeske said. “Our motto is ‘Please come by, but you don’t have to buy’ because we love company. We’ll talk your ear off, that’s for sure.”

In the house’s 15 rooms, along with its wraparound porch and garden, are

guised as antique dealers.”

The store receives Bible donations and hands out free Bibles to anyone who wants one. They also have a counter filled with prayer requests from anyone who may need one.

“Some people come into the store simply to leave a prayer request and then leave,” she said. “The counter is covered in prayer requests. It’s a sight itself to see.”

The store has three outdoor sales throughout the year – in May, August and October. The next one will be Aug. 19 and 20 during Elburn Days.

The entire yard of the house will be filled with the excess, bigger items for sale, and Amazing Grace will cover the sales tax for outdoor items. Everything inside the house will be on sale, too.

“We are so grateful to this great little town of Elburn and just love to give back to the community when we can,” Jeske said. “It’s the best little town. Everyone has been so kind and supportive from the start, and we have made such great friends “ Amazing Grace is at 401 N. Main St., Elburn, and is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

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.

Motorcyclist, 20, dies in Batavia crash

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com BATAVIA – A 20-year-old motorcyclist from Oswego was killed in a crash with a car about 8:20 p.m. Aug. 4 at Main Street and Randall Road in Batavia, according to a report from Batavia police.

The Kane County Coroner’s Office identified the motorcyclist as Justin Retherford-Speer, noting the preliminary cause of death was multiple injuries. Toxicology samples were sent to a forensic laboratory for analysis.

Batavia Police Detective Kevin Bretz said the morning of Aug. 5 that a preliminary investigation continued in tandem with the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team.

Bretz said a 2009 Pontiac Vibe, driven by a 16-year-old female from North Aurora, was southbound

“We ask the public to watch out for motorcycles and be cognizant of everything around you when you’re driving, so we can avoid terrible tragedies like this.”

Kevin Bretz Batavia police detective on Randall Road preparing to turn onto eastbound Main Street, while the 1994 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle was northbound on the inside lane of Randall Road approaching Main Street. Both had a green light, Bretz said, noting preliminary information indicated the Pontiac began its left turn onto Main Street and the vehicles collided.

“He was taken to Delnor Hospital and pronounced deceased,” Bretz said.

The Batavia Fire Department provided the transport to Delnor and re-

Man, 35, dies and 2 hurt in rollover crash KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE kcchronicle@shawmedia.com VIRGIL TOWNSHIP – A 35-year-old St. Charles man died Aug. 6 in a rollover crash near Route 64 and Fabris Road in Virgil Township, according to a news release from the Kane County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s office deputies were dispatched about 2:10 a.m. to the scene of the crash, where it appeared neither the driver nor front-seat passenger of the rolled-over 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan SUV were wearing seat belts, and they may have been ejected from the vehicle, the release stated.

Front-seat passenger David Drewes was pronounced dead at the scene.

Driver Sean Tardy, 39, of Maple Park, was initially taken to Kishwaukee Hospital by Maple Park EMS but was later flown to Rockford Memorial Hospital with serious injuries, the release stated.

A rear passenger, Kristie Drewes, 36, of Maple Park, was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital with minor injuries.

Kristie Drewes and Sean Tardy were recently married. David Drewes is Krisitie Drewes’ brother, the release stated.

Initial investigation showed the SUV was traveling east on Route 64

when it left the roadway near Fabris Road. It appeared the vehicle failed to navigate a curve on Route 64 and left the road on the south side of Route 64. Kristie Drewes was wearing a seat belt and was not ejected, the release stated.

Route 64 was closed between Peplow Road and Fabris Road for about three hours while the crash was investigated, the release stated, adding that no citations were immediately issued.

The crash remains under investigation by Kane County Sheriff’s Office deputies and members of the Kane County Accident Reconstruction Team.

But then she invited the assembled public officials to look at the large crowd present and [said], ‘It’s our backyard, too, and we welcome these families.’”

Raver attended Geneva High School before enrolling at UIUC. She plans to become a high school agriculture teacher once she completes her degree, according to a news release, which noted she chose the university because “it’s a good school, and I like how serious the college takes the agricultural education program.”

GENEVA – When Cynthia K. Wade lost her job three years ago, she had no idea she would go on to found a nonprofit to support people just like her – people in transition who had no idea what to do next.

“Yet here she is saying thank you to Dr. David Hopper, aka ‘Dr. Dave,’ a Geneva-area chiropractor and owner of Whole Human Health for hosting doover.me’s first-ever board retreat,” a news release said.

Wade gathered with her board recently at Hopper’s offices for a fivehour retreat that was facilitated by local businesswoman Kimberlee Byrne of KimberleeB Photography. Byrne led the board in discussing long-range future strategies, as well as practical next steps.

“The session was filled with laughter and learning, while the board challenged themselves to plan for growth even as they were managing day-to-day allocation of resources,” the release stated.

Based in Geneva, do-over.me was created to help people reimagine their lives, to create for themselves a doover, just like they did as children, the release stated.

“Many middle-class folks will attest things just aren’t the way they used to be,” the release said. “All this change has everyone a bit anxious.

[Fox] Valley residents who have never really recovered from the most recent recession, some just graduating and looking for first jobs, and others finding the cuts just hitting them now, can all turn to do-over.me to support them in, first of all, claiming their very own definition of success,

ST. CHARLES – Hundreds of area residents urged Kane County Board officials on July 30 to prioritize support for gun safety, affordable housing and keeping mentally ill individuals out of jail.

They met at an issues assembly hosted at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Charles. It was facilitated by the Fox River Valley Initiative, a broad-based organization of churches, associations, unions and nonprofits representing thousands of individuals in the region,

according to a news release.

Rick Lathrop from the Congregational Church of Batavia and the Illinois Education Association said individuals can use the marketplace to affect gun safety, according to the release.

He urged support for the “Do Not Stand Idly By” campaign for gun buyers to advocate for gun safety technologies and responsible distribution of guns, the release said.

“The audience responded strongly when Cindy Holler of Mercy Housing showed demographic maps illustrating

OPINIONS BOARD ‘Pokémon GO’ a go-go gadget game EDITORIAL

When was the last time you saw kids playing a game of pickup soccer or baseball in a park? How about playing kick the can or capture the flag around the neighborhood? Constructing a sandbox sandcastle or building a winter snowman?

I can’t remember the last time. Incredibly, that’s not unusual.

Recently, my wife, Tia, overheard a group of tween boys talking. She looked over and saw them all staring into their phones with more conviction than Harry Potter entranced by Dumbledore’s magic cistern. One of their moms, standing nearby, told one of the boys it looked like he’d lost weight.

“Eighteen pounds,” the boy said without looking up.

“I’ve been outside walking around playing Pokemon.”

“I hate going outside,” said another boy, a sentiment all the others agreed to, Beatles-like: “Yeah.” “Yeah.”

“Yeah.”

I’ve written before about my concern that millennials are stuck physically and emotionally to computer screens to an unhealthy degree. Previous generations used their imagination and wits to create and referee play. Today’s dependence on internet-generated games and social media has become an epidemic and, for some, an addiction.

We adults, however, glued to our own smartphones and laptops, are partly to blame.

Recently at Francesca’s restaurant in St. Charles, I noticed, out of a family of four, the only one fingering a phone was Dad. Maybe he was looking up a rare Amazon tribe alluded to in conversation, a YouTube TED talk on microbiology or one of Trump’s speeches to illustrate the power of fatuous rhetoric.

Or, more likely, he was

Moreover, how many times have you honked at a driver oblivious to a green traffic light because she can’t ignore her best friend’s text?

Getting back to the “Pokémon GO” craze, the obsession even elicited commentary from our Kane County Chronicle. The editorial warns against the game’s possible dangers, such as luring players into remote areas where they’re robbed; blinding players to street curbs; and drowning players in rivers. However, because the game encourages users to work together in groups and involves “moving around instead of sitting around playing the game,” the paper applauds its use.

I agree. These kids may not be getting bruised and dusty running bases, but maybe they’re helping pick out dinner in the Blue Goose Market (a local “PokémonGym”) when not crashing into the cheese island. If fit with Fitbits, they’d be scoring more steps than a marathoner’s dream.

So, I say, “Go, go, gadget!”

Maybe if “Pokémon GO” gets played enough, children will want to go outdoors again – without their phones – and discover that non-pixelated games can be, well, almost just as fun.

Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The number of lives saved since the shelter started in the 1960s as the North Central Illinois Humane Society is pretty astonishing. Anderson boasted in its most recent newsletter that nearly 80,000 adoptions have been made in total. With so many animals coming in and out of the shelter, we tip our hats to the many volunteers and dedicated staff that care for the animals, facilitate adoptions and keep the shelter going strong.

The Kane County Sheriff’s Office is up against 17 personnel vacancies. With these vacancies comes the need to make staffing decisions based on the number of available officers, Lt. Patrick Gengler explained in an email after the sheriff’s office announced it would be pulling its two full-time school resource officers – or SROs – out of Kaneland and Central high schools for the 2016-17 school year.

Sheriff Don Kramer said in July that one full-time SRO would be split between both schools. School officials said that solution was inadequate, as it would take 15 to 20 minutes for the sheriff’s office to respond to an emergency, assuming the SRO was not placed at that specific school that day. At the Kaneland Board of Education meeting Aug. 8, board members authorized hiring additional security services for days that a SRO is not present – not to exceed $12,000.

We think it’s time the sheriff communicate again with school officials to set a timeline for reinstalling full-time SROs at both high schools. Safety is the last thing we want to gamble with.

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina minus having a clueless math teacher.

For the past month, I’ve been flipping through the Waubonsee fall course catalog struggling to pick out my classes for the fall semester.

Last year, the classes I took were simple to pick because I took the basic general education classes: speech, English, biology, math and so on.

Now that I have most of these types of courses out of the way, I mainly need to take elective classes. These are classes that may relate to my major or are just classes that I’m interested in taking that aren’t necessarily required.

To me, they’re known as “fun” classes.

You may think that it would be easy to pick out a few of these fun classes, but this semester it has been a nightmare. Some classes that I want to take aren’t offered this fall. While nothing can be done about it, it truly makes me frustrated knowing that I can’t plan my schedule out with the classes I really want to take that actually relate to my area of study.

Then there is the struggle to find classes that fit into a perfect schedule.

You may dream up a flawless schedule in your head, but it doesn’t always work out the way you hope. For instance, there may be two classes that you want to take but they’re only offered at the same time and on the same days.

However, the worst is when you have a class that works perfectly in your schedule – the time is great and fits in with the rest of your day.

That’s all until you go online to look up the professor only to realize that they don’t have the best reviews from previous students.

I really don’t want to imagine picking up a pen, taking out a notebook and taking notes while a teacher lectures.

With classes starting in less than two weeks, I better face the reality.

I think I can, I know I wrote/I wrote the song, not every note/plagiareyes or plagiarears/the song is mine, I tell you dears/so why this fuss, who cares so much?/I gave the speech a personal touch/some words appear to kind of match/ like two cookies from one small batch/but eat them up, enjoy each crumb/and worry not whence my words come/thank goodness I put no period where it should not be/or I might have penned “donald t. rump”, oh woe is me!

A real person?

A caller last week indicated in last week’s column that they may put a sign in their yard saying, “Elect a real person for president, elect Donald Trump.” I have been around for a while, and I have met enough people that I thought I knew what a “real person” was. Well, maybe not.

Where is our security now?

So, Donald Trump has scared American citizens. Really?

Hillary Clinton is the nominee for president for the Democratic Party, and my question to her is why are you blaming Russia for the hacking when actually your people put the stuff out there to be hacked? Not only that, there is no evidence. She talks about reforming the justice system, and yet they’re already blaming Russia. And they don’t really have proof that the government had anything to do with it. You know, if it’s individual hackers, what about our hackers here in the U.S.? What about the one who went to Russia because he hacked the WikiLeaks? I can’t think of his name right now. But, anyway, the whole point is we saw on the news this morning that now the Democrats are saying, well, what if they hack our election?

What if they hack our voting things? What if they hack the conglomeration when they total the vote? You know, again, they want to blame it on Trump, and they want to blame it on

It’s that time of the year again. Oh, how I dread it.

I’m getting Waubonsee Community College flashbacks from the spring semester already. I can see herds of students dashing through the campus and avoiding eye contact with others because they just want to get to their next class.

In the library, there’s a boy stressing out over a math exam because his teacher never taught him how to add numbers. On the other side of campus, you’ll see a girl sitting in the back of a biology class. She’s drinking multiple cups of coffee as if it’s water in order to stay awake so she doesn’t get kicked out of a class that she paid a few hundred dollars for.

These are all realistic scenarios of college students.

Right now I’m remembering all the college highs and lows.

Overall, sure, college is stressful sometimes. What else is new?

The coursework can be challenging; studying for exams may make me want to pull my hair out; and sometimes the professors can lack enthusiasm or interest in the topic that they’re teaching.

With all that aside, my first year at Waubonsee was an extremely pleasant experience; I can’t complain too much,

24 Pizzeria to host

annual Jason’s Hogfan Party on Sept. 24 KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com

AURORA – The eighth annual Jason’s Hogfan Party for leukemia and lymphoma research is set for 4 to 8 p.m. Sept. 24 at Mike and Denise’s Pizzeria, 760 Farnsworth Ave., Aurora.

The event is held in honor of Jason Gould, who grew up in Elburn and later lived in Oswego. Gould died in January 2006 from a viral-related complication of leukemia. The fundraiser supports innovative cancer research at Ohio State University, according to a news release.

Since Gould was an avid Arkansas Razorbacks fan, his mother, Sandy Gould, said she and his family and friends thought it would be the perfect tribute to him to host the Hogfan parties every year in his memory – to raise money for research, the release said.

Sandy Gould said in the release that Jason’s Hogfan Party has raised almost $175,000 for the work Ohio State University’s Cancer Research Center is involved with. All proceeds and donations go directly to research, she said in the release.

There will be a raffle for an Apple iPad, Bose music system, Trek bike, large-screen TV, “Star Wars” sets and an American Girl doll at the event, the release said.

Sandy Gould said her son was a “huge ‘Star Wars’ fan,” and there will be costumed Star Wars characters at the event. Members of the 501st Legion Midwest Garrison and the Rebel Legion will be on hand to pose for photos and join the fun, the release said.

The Kaneville Fire Protection District buys a $50,000 Ford passenger pickup earlier this year. The truck will help the district respond to nearby emergencies, officials said.

Kaneville Fire Protection District buys truck

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com KANEVILLE – The Kaneville Fire Protection District bought a much-needed emergency truck earlier this year.

The vehicle, which is the district’s seventh one, but first of its type, can be used for local emergency calls when larger trucks aren’t needed.

“It’s a Ford passenger pickup that we can use for EMS,” fire chief David Sigmund said. “It’s all loaded with emergency gear and it’s certified by the state. The advantage of this is you have a $50,000 truck you can use rather than having to use the $500,000 one, so it saves taxpayers money and the trucks should last longer.”

Know more Opportunities to volunteer with the district are available. For information, sen an email to administration@ kanevillefire.org.

Sigmund said the district continues to use its large truck when calls require longer traveling distances and toll roads.

While the district serves local residents, it also serves all travelers that pass through the district, including nine miles of the Interstate 88. In total, its boundaries encompass 36 square miles, so a decent amount of traveling can occur.

“We can do just about everything but

transport patients,” Sigmund said of the new vehicle. “We can get the patient checked out in the event of an emergency, and once the ambulance arrives, we can help load them up from there.”

Keeping these vehicles maintained is something the district continues to focus on, in order to maximize longevity.

“We had been looking at getting a truck for a while, and we try to keep them all up to date,” Sigmund said.

“We just put the money aside to do it and we try to budget to get new trucks.

We’ll definitely hope to get some good years out of this one.”

The district has one fire station in Kaneville with 36 volunteer firefighters/officers. Also this year, deputy chief Dan Koebele retired after more than 30 years of service to the district.

14 ft Kayak w/ Perception $300 & We-no-nah Kayak 17ft $400 - Jack 630-212-6657 Jill Shalvis, an author of romance novels, wrote, “Smile. It’s the second-best thing you can do with your lips.”

Most bridge contracts offer two or more possible lines of play. Then careful analysis will show which is the best line and which is the second-best. Similarly, when a contract can be defeated, there will sometimes be a best defense and a second-best. In today’s deal, though, the job for the defenders is to beat the contract whether declarer adopts the best line of play or the second-best.

What can happen after West leads the club king against four spades?

South might have opened two no-trump, but the lack of a heart stopper was a minus. Here, though, if he had, North would surely have raised to three no-trump, and that contract was impregnable. In four spades, though, South seems doomed to lose three hearts and one club. He has to hope the defenders slip and allow him to take five spades, three diamonds and two clubs, his ace and dummy’s jack.

Declarer’s second-best play is to win the first trick and draw trumps.

However, on the second round, East can discard a discouraging diamond two. Then, when South leads his second club toward dummy’s jack, West should find it easy to take that trick and shift to the heart 10.

Declarer does much better to lead his club six at trick two, before East has had a chance to signal. However, an experienced partnership will know the answer. At trick two, East plays his club nine, his highest club being a suit-preference signal for hearts.

Discuss this deal with your partner.

No place like home Host families for Cougars key part of organization

By CLAIRE JACOBI cjacobi@shawmedia.com When Zach Nehrir landed in July at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, one of the first things he did was send a text message to Dick and Sue Wauer.

“Think y’all could have a bed ready for me tonight? Just landed at O’Hare. ... I’m back,” he wrote.

All Sue Wauer could respond was, “Absolutely, come on home son.”

The text said it all.

Nehrir, a Kane County Cougars outfielder, had been living in Geneva with the Wauers, his host family, from opening day April 7 to July 4 when he was moved up to the Visalia Rawhide. On July 28, it was announced Nehrir was coming back to the Cougars.

That situation is not uncommon for host families and Cougars players.

Every player on the team has their own host family, and Nehrir is not the first player to call the Wauer’s house home. “[In 1993] we moved into our house, I had moving boxes everywhere, and I saw an article in the Chicago Tribune that talked about Adopt-a-Cougar,” Sue said. “I said to Dick, ‘This sounds like fun, let’s do this,’ and he said, ‘Are you nuts?

Let’s unpack the boxes and if you think about it we’ll do it next year.’

He thought I’d forget, and I didn’t.”

The experience has been a positive one. The Wauers have had at least 80 players stay with them since they began hosting.

“We have had really nice guys,” Sue said. “Having somebody on the team who lives at your house is like watching a member of your family play.”

Although living with players has been a big part of the Wauers’ life, for some families it is very new.

We learn about them, we learn

about their culture, we love visiting with them.”

Many host families, such as the Wauers, have been part of the program for years, although each season a few new families become interested in hosting players, according to Sean Freed, a sales representative with the Cougars who coordinates the host family program.

“There are usually one or two new ones a year,” Freed said. “Sometimes they like it and sometimes they don’t.”

typical 8 to 5 jobs,” Pilmer said.

“We’ve always been in the service industry. We’ve made adjustments to our schedule to accommodate their schedule, and it’s OK, it’s all good.”

Sue Wauer said baseball players are creatures of the night. If there is a night game, they often sleep in or go to the gym in the morning. Sometimes they don’t see their players until they arrive for the 6:30 p.m. game. They come home around 10:30 p.m., and sometimes they are awake to talk and sometimes they are already asleep.

“We love having them on their days off but also realize that those are few and far between,” Sue Wauer said.

Quite possibly the biggest challenge of the whole experience is when it is time to say goodbye. The players become like sons to the hosts, so adjusting to an empty house takes some getting used to.

“It takes me about a month to come down from them being gone,” Kathy Baumann said. “Some of them we do still have contact with, so we get to keep track of them.”

Pilmer and Stone have had a total of four players in their first season as a host family, and have tried to stay in touch with the other two that left before Hernandez and Vargas arrived.

Like the Baumanns, Pilmer said it is tough to adjust when the players leave.

We continue to stay in touch with all of them. We follow their games, we know when they’re playing and how they’re doing elsewhere.”

The Wauers have adjusted to the come and go nature of being a host family, but said it was difficult for them to say goodbye in the beginning.

“It’s like having children,” Sue Wauer said. “The whole routine changes when they’re gone because the season is over and baseball is over.”

Welcoming a stranger into one’s house for six months would take some getting used to for most people, but most Cougars host families relish the unique opportunity to open their homes to the players.

“We just thank the Cougars for allowing us to have this opportunity,” Kathy Baumann said. “I really think it would be hard on the guys to try Kathy Baumann tidies up on Aug. 6 in a trophy room she and her husband Terry have and live away from home in an apartment. We hope we make it easier on constructed in their Oswego home. them so all they have to concentrate on is baseball.

“We tell the boys when they leave to know them as individuals rather look when you have the guys stay that if we’ve taken good care of them, than as a ballplayer. We get to meet with you.”

It’s just a whole different out-

Freed said prospective host families are given a questionnaire to fill out asking where they live, if they have children and how many they have, and if they have pets. The questionnaire is the first step to making sure a household is a good fit. If a family is picked as a host, the team typically asks the players if they like their living situation a few days into it.

Players have the option of living on their own in an apartment, but living with a host has extra benefits.

“If they get called up, the hosts can send them their stuff and they can leave without having to worry about getting out of a contract [at an apartment],” Freed said. “It’s like a second family for [the players].

They’re away from their families all summer, so it’s nice to have that second home for the summer.”

As a host family, Pilmer said the main goal is to provide moral support for the players and make them feel at home.

“We always try to be encouraging of what they do,” Pilmer said. “It’s trying to get a mutual understanding. We have to be accepting of their habits, as they are accepting of ours.”

Cougars first baseman Trevor Mitsui lived on his own in his first season as a minor leaguer in 2014 and said he got lonely at times. He currently lives with hosts Hank and Juliann DeAngelis in Glen Ellyn. They have done a great job making him feel at home.

“Juliann loves ‘Game of Thrones,’ and I do, too,” Mitsui said. “Hank makes a really good pork or chicken Marsala. It’s really good, good sauce.

They feed me really well.”

Kathy and Terry Baumann of Oswego have been hosts since 2000.

The Baumanns have had close to 90 players, and they’ve had 13 that have either made the majors or are still in the majors.

They have hosted five players this season: Matt Railey (who was recently released), Stryker Trahan, Joey Armstrong, Cody Clark and Francis “Frank” Christy. Although Kathy still works full time and Terry works part-time, they both try to attend just about every game, home and away.

“That’s the way we like it,” Kathy said. “We try to go to the games, even away, as much as we can. If we can help them, we’re more than happy to do that. Family helps family.”

The experiences for all the host families are a little different, but one thing that is similar for all of them is an elevated level of joy watching a Cougars game when they know the players intimately.

“You’re there to cheer somebody on,” Kathy Baumann said. “We get

Operation Warrior Wishes gets bigger and better Father and son from St. Charles watch charity grow from humble start

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – It started as a bucket list item for Craig Steichen and Matt Steichen.

It has turned into something much more for the father and son.

The Steichens, St. Charles residents, mapped out a plan to visit all 32 NFL stadiums during the 2012 season. Their personal mission quickly evolved into their charity, Operation Warrior Wishes, which is devoted to helping veterans live once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

“We’ve taken almost 2,000 different guys to events,” Craig said.

After shifting focus from their goal of visiting every NFL stadium in one season, the Steichens didn’t waste any time branching out. What started out as a football quest quickly expanded into events at baseball, basketball and hockey games. Operation Warrior Wishes also has helped veterans meet wrestling stars such as John Cena.

Early on, the Steichens got a boost from legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka after a segment aired on ESPN during “Monday Night Football.”

“Six weeks into it ESPN heard about it and did a story where they followed us around for a ‘Monday Night Football’ game,” Craig said. “After it aired, Ditka said he wanted to pay for everything.

He was basically our kick-starter.

“I don’t know what would have hap-

The Steichens accepted the offer and used the money to turn Operation Warrior Wishes into a 501(c)(3) charity.

Craig said 98 percent of money raised goes back to the charity to make the events possible.

The most recent Operation Warrior Wishes event was a golf outing at Royal Hawk Country Club on Aug. 8. The outing was a combination of a fundraiser and a special event.

Thirty veterans from 18 states were

part of the outing, which included a special opening ceremony, a band playing near the clubhouse as golfers came off the course, and themed holes that had golfers tee off from a La-Z-Boy recliner, use a club shaped like a hockey stick, and spin a wheel that dictated which club to tee off with. The veterans also had a police escort from their hotel to the golf course in the morning.

“In the beginning it was never this big,” said Craig, who expected to raise more than $18,000 at the golf outing.

“How often do you see 30 military heroes together like that?”

The 2016 NFL season will be the fifth year the Steichens help make unique sports-themed dream experiences a reality. “Together we make warrior wishes come true” is the slogan of the charity and what the Steichens hope to achieve with every trip they take to an NFL, MLB, NHL or NBA game.

Hopefully, the best is yet to come.

“We never thought it would be this big,” Craig said. “We’re very proud.”

Summer is still in full swing, but before long the nights will get cooler, the leaves will start changing color, and high school football teams will spend Friday nights running, passing and tackling as part of their quest to win a state title.

That quest began on Aug. 8, the first day Illinois high school teams were allowed to practice as part of the lead-up to the season. Some teams, such as Batavia, St. Charles North and Kaneland, hit the field early to beat the heat. Others, such as St. Charles East, practiced their plays in the afternoon in an effort to hew closer to what the practice schedule will be like when school starts.

Teams from the Kane County Chronicle coverage area will kick off the season Aug. 26, and readers should keep their eyes peeled for the Chronicle’s football preview in the Aug. 25 edition.

Plenty of new experiences in same old game of baseball As an umpire, I’ve never looked to do anything spectacular on the field. I don’t need anyone to notice me. I just want to do my job to the best of my ability, have some fun, avoid getting hit by any pitches and get done in a reasonable amount of time.

In a lot of ways that’s how my umpiring season went this spring and summer. Unless I’m forgetting something, I cannot recall anything really significant occurring and I know it’s not because of getting hit in the head by too many foul balls because that rarely happened.

I just finished my summer schedule last weekend, and with opening night of the high school football season just two weeks away from tomorrow, the timing was definitely right. I still need to clean up my gear and uniforms, which I’ll hopefully not put off too long, although I know there have been years where I’ve left it in my car until fall ball started in September.

I think when you’ve done something for a very long time that it just becomes more difficult to experience new things. I know that’s quite a statement, especially since there’s the longtime baseball cliché that “you see something new every time you go to a game.” This year, though, I just don’t recall seeing too many new things, although I did visit some new places and work with some new people.

I made two trips to Rockford, umpiring at Rockford Jefferson and Rockford Auburn for the first time.

I usually try to make the trek to Rockford at least once a year. It’s not too bad of a drive and I always enjoy seeing a different field and some different schools. I also made drives to Northwestern, Illiana Christian and Chicago Christian, which definitely proved to be frustrating because of the amount of traffic I had to battle, but I made it out there safely and on time and had the opportunity to work with a couple of guys for the first time in Joe Bradley and Bob Lau. Lau’s a legend who has worked multiple state finals so it was a pleasure to work with him. I would later learn he was diagnosed with cancer and because he had retired months before his diagnosis he is in a difficult financial situation. A fundraiser has been scheduled for Aug. 28 at Glenwood Oaks and Chop House and one of my writer colleagues, Pat Disabato, will be a guest speaker. Those who have a few bucks to spare, please consider calling Jordan at (708) 372-1030 or emailing jordancohen@gmx.com to arrange to do so. Bob’s certainly given a lot to the game and could certainly

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker use everyone’s support.

While I’ve previously written about some of the sayings that annoy me, I have to admit there were two in particular this year that were simply outstanding. The first involved players flip-flopping some words. On a couple of long, but extremely foul batted balls a couple of kids yelled, “It’s fair if it’s gone.” The second bit of dialogue, though, was absolutely hilarious.

Stealing from “Animal House,” one player yelped “Good eye,” to his teammate who was hitting, while another teammate then chimed in, “Better listen to him. He’s in pre-med.” This was as well played as anything I saw on the diamond this year. Bravo for keeping Bluto’s spirit alive!

There were also three things that happened this year that I didn’t expect and definitely never want to experience again.

I was reprimanded for chewing gum on the field. Now, I wasn’t told, “I hope you brought enough for everybody,” but I was asked whether or not I could read the sign that said “No chewing gum,” as well as “No sunflower seeds.” (I never did see the sign.)

Nowadays, because of the continued addition of artificial playing surfaces, people are prohibited from chewing gum and sunflower seeds. Still, I never thought I’d be called out in the middle of a game.

I was called classless by a parent who wasn’t even in attendance for the two games I umpired. I was at the back end of a parking lot changing out of my plate equipment to drive home when he hollered at me to cover up, especially in front of a woman. I was wearing compression shorts, but apparently he was blind to that. He told me I could at least be decent enough to get changed in the nearby woods.

Finally, a few weeks ago I was fired from my full-time job. My employer didn’t want me umpiring or writing freelance articles – even though I was doing it during my free time – so she chose to can me. That was something I didn’t think could legally happen to anyone in America, but it somehow happened to me.

Nostalgia adds flavor to Daddio’s Diner classics

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com

BATAVIA – Daddio’s Diner in Batavia is not only a groovy throwback to classic mainstays for the taste buds, but a treat for eye and ear. The downtown diner has been its spot on Wilson Street for decades, and the current owners behind Daddio’s Diner will celebrate their own decade of operation next spring.

The cozy blanket of nostalgia is evident in the album covers and memorabilia that ring the dining room’s tables and counter-side chrome stools, bringing back the hey-day of The Beach Boys and Bobby Sherman, along with The Beatles crossing “Abbey Road” to wander into eras populated by Shirley Temple, The Mickey Mouse Club and the rotary phone.

“Kitsch – that’s my department,” said Terry Beltran of St. Charles, co-owner of the diner with her husband, Scott, and baker of the homemade chocolate chip cookies that are a staple and pair with the bottomless cup of coffee.

She said being a visual folk artist and vintage primitives dealer have been a conduit for the items on display, and the creative streak she shares with her daughters led to their collaboration on the puns that lend verbal flair to the names of dishes on the menu.

Photos by Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com The inspiration behind the diner has been a family affair.

Darice Augustine of St. Charles readies a customer’s order at Daddio’s Diner in Batavia.

“My husband is a chef by trade,” she said. “We love this food at home.

Our philosophy behind the diner [is] everyone’s welcome, and it’s just good old home-style cooking where you find great value and happy faces and a friendly place.”

She said many regulars will time visits for Taco Tuesdays and days for certain specials. The pot roast draws people in who take an order of the home-cooked entree home for dinner later.

“It comes with mashed potatoes and gravy,” she said. “People love to eat it, but don’t want to make a lot of it if it’s only [for them].”

“Our La Bomba Skillet is amazing,” Augustine said, adding that the diner’s pancakes are huge and newcomers don’t believe her description until the album-sized treats arrive.

Terry Beltran said a top weekend breakfast special is the No Way Jose.

The regular menu features soups, a variety of sandwiches – including Monte Cristo and Reuben, plus a Swiss Pot Roast Panini – burgers and salads, such as Strawberry Chicken Pecan prepared with spinach, grilled chicken, strawberries, feta cheese, warm pecans, red onion and raspberry glaze.

When she’s traveling, Augustine said she makes it a point to seek out the mom-and-pop diners for all their individualized character.

“Scott and I had been talking

about two guys who moved out to Arizona, who recently happened to come in,” Augustine said. “I was working, and it was fun to see them again … in town [for] a quick trip. They told us how they haven’t found a place out there they feel comfortable with yet.

ST. CHARLES – For just a few hours on Aug. 16, people in St. Charles will get the chance to ride bikes, scooters and skateboards in a new way.

The American Ramp Company is bringing its Pump Track Demo Tour to Pottawatomie Park thanks to Jeff Greenwald.

Greenwald, the St. Charles Park District’s superintendent of recreation, applied for the opportunity to have the tour stop in St. Charles after seeing a Facebook post about the tour, he said, adding he was told more than 400 entries were submitted.

Although Greenwald has never tried a pump track, he said he saw one in use at a national conference last year.

He likened it to the old-fashioned Hot Wheels plastic track that kids would race cars around.

Essentially, a pump track is a continuous loop of dirt mounds and berms that can be ridden without pedaling,

6 Campers, instructors with Fox Country Players take the stage at Waubonsee

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Blair Wright was 5 years old when she began attending the Fox Country Players Theater Arts Academy. She’s been acting every summer since 1998.

Wright was a high school mentor for the academy, and this is the second summer she has taught and directed children 5 to 8 years old.

This year, the academy took place at Waubonsee Community College’s Sugar Grove campus through the college’s Xcelerate Summer Camps program.

The younger students performed “Things That Go Bump in the Night,” and the high school group put on “The Addams Family” in the Waubonsee auditorium.

“The camp is a really cool opportunity to make friends,” Wright said.

“The kids see each other every summer, and they get to meet [other kids] from different towns.”

Her classes, which were held at Waubonsee for three weeks in July, covered all aspects of theater – even focusing on how the students project

SMILE, JANET’S COOKING! Janet Lagerloef The Texas humidity had turned my hair into a cruel joke. My ankle was in so much pain by this time I wanted to cut it off with a hacksaw. Potter was spewing vile matter from every orifice.

And, Jerry wasn’t sure which one of us he wanted to leave on the side of the road.

But, Potter got back to normal; a nice surgeon fixed my ankle; and Jerry hit the skies. One of his first charters was flying a Houston businessman over the border into Veracruz, Mexico, to a Cinco de Mayo party. I was invited to go along.

When Jerry made his final approach, well after dark, onto Jorge and Rosario Garcia’s private landing strip, we saw party lights glowing in the distance.

Their son met our plane and drove us down a path illuminated with lanterns hanging from magnolia trees to their grand desert estate.

When we stepped onto their open-air veranda, we entered an opulence I didn’t know existed. I felt like I was on an episode of “Fantasy Island,” a popular television show at the time, about a remote and extravagant getaway.

We were greeted by a white-gloved waiter holding a tray of margaritas.

Torches everywhere cast a warm glow on their elegantly dressed guests. The women wore sleek dresses and milehigh heels. They all had beautifully smooth black hair. Rosario Garcia was the fairest of them all.

Musicians strolled throughout the party playing trumpets and violins, while male singers wearing the tightest pants I’d ever seen on men, sang beautiful love songs.

In the center of it all was a fire pit.

Atop it sat an ornate pot with a copper lid that was wafting the most delightful aroma throughout the party. Nearby was a whole goat on a rotisserie turning slowly to a crispy golden brown. Jerry and I were curious about what was in the pot, but I could barely look at the goat.

Cooks in starched white chef hats prepared tapas in the Garcia’s elaborate outdoor kitchen, which was also on the veranda – just down from the goat.

One piped guacamole he’d made from avocados growing on a nearby tree into perfectly shaped roses, while another fried corn tortillas into chips to dip into the roses.

They made dozens of tacos con lengua: chopped beef tongue that had been braising for hours on the stove with tomatoes and onions. They served it on just-made flour tortillas with a green tomatillo salsa. That goat started to look good.

Next, they lined the counter with

well-chilled crystal goblets into which they spooned a colorful medley of cold octopus, cilantro, avocado, red onion and lime. Bacon-wrapped quail made the scene next. Boy, I couldn’t wait to have some goat.

But, I didn’t endure that ghastly trip two weeks before to be a scaredy cat.

I had been struggling all night to fit in as I hobbled on crutches with a Phyllis Diller hairdo, dressed like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. Jerry was loving everything. This culture was my new home. So I started eating and actually liked all of the tapas – a lot.

After the tapas, it was time for the star of the show. Everyone was invited to gather around the pot with the copper lid. The trumpets still played, but the singers stopped singing. Rosario nodded to one of the waiters, and – with a flourish – he lifted the lid.

Inside was a Spanish dish called paella – a soft bed of yellow rice piled with scallops, lobsters, shrimp, prawns, chicken and sausage.

We were each given a small plate to help ourselves. To this day, I haven’t eaten anything as elegant. The rice was divine. I had no clue what gave it its pretty yellow color and heavenly taste.

We only lived in Brownsville for six years, but it’s still a big part of us.

I often cut corn tortillas into triangles and fry them into chips. I buy octopus

Being married to an airline pilot has been a delicious ride. I have eaten pizza in New York City, oysters in New Orleans, lamb pie in London, reindeer stew in Stockholm, croissants in Normandy, buckets of mussels in Brussels (oh, my) and thin strips of elephant drying on a clothes line while hiking in the bush of Botswana. (I thought it needed salt). But, my love of ethnic food started in Mexico.

Jerry has been a pilot for United Airlines for 30 years and a captain for 24. He began his aviation career in 1980, when he was hired as a charter pilot, in Brownsville, Texas – just a five-minute walk across the bridge over the Rio Grande River into Matamoros, Mexico.

We were both 24 and living in Sugar Grove. I had barely been out of Illinois and had never eaten outside the box.

We packed a makeshift trailer with all our belongings, including a big box of albums from Pink Floyd to Cat Stevens.

The day before we were to leave, I tore the ligaments in my right ankle. But, I talked my doctor into scheduling my necessary surgery at a hospital in Brownsville the day we arrived.

So, we hitched our wobbly trailer to our 1968 Cutlass convertible, put our cat, Potter, in an animal carrier in the front seat, and propped my foot on pillows in the back to make the 1,500 mile journey south. What could go wrong?

On the third day, a tire on our trailer blew on a hot dusty road in Dallas just yards from vultures feeding on roadkill.

Wright, who played Lucy, said that her students probably found it funny to see their instructors play characters on stage. She said her character “definitely has an attitude,” which she enjoyed portraying.

Academy instructor Devin Johnson played Schroeder.

He also directed music for both sessions of the academy.

Schroeder is an accomplished pianist, and was often seen practicing Beethoven during the play. He said it was a good thing for the students to be able to see their instructors “doing what they love to do.”

Matt Weaver, who played the title role of Charlie Brown, has been with the academy for six summers – as a student, mentor and – for the past four years – as a director. He has appeared in a number of musicals, in addition to directing several of them.

Weaver said he thought his students enjoyed seeing him doing “ridiculous kid things.”

Eve Cone, a Yorkville High School student and returning student to the academy, attended the “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” performance on Aug. 5.

“I loved it,” Cone said. “I thought it was a great show.”

Cone, who has been performing in plays since she was 8 years old, said she would like to become a director or a drama teacher in the future.

A cooking pro’s tips, tricks and shortcuts Food blogger (“The Clever Carrot”) Emile Raffa speaks directly to time-pressed cooks in “The Clever Cookbook” (Page Street Publishing), appropriately subtitled “Get-Ahead Strategies and Timesaving Tips for Stress-Free Home Cooking.”

Professionally trained in the culinary arts, Raffa fills her cookbook with useful, creative ideas designed to make it easier for anyone desiring to get back to the basics and connect “with our food and make it ourselves.”

In the introduction, the author declares that there’s no gimmick in her approach to cooking. She notes that hers is “an alternate that empowers the home cook and squashes the stigma associated with cooking from scratch.”

For a good example of Raffa’s cooking style, try her Fast Shrimp Tacos (recipe below) with a cucumber tomato salsa.

The book – full of appetizing photography – devotes chapters to compound butters, homemade spice blends, batch-cooked grains and freezer marinades, among other topics. Raffa lives in Long Island with her husband and two young sons.

Saute the shrimp until bright pink and

Right plant, right place is all about site selection Last year, I became enamored with a perennial called hardy hibiscus. Having lived in the Chicago area my entire life, the idea of enormous hibiscus blossoms in summer was very appealing, and I planted one called Kopper King by my downspout. Perennial hibiscus enjoys having “wet feet,” as opposed to most perennials that prefer well-drained soil.

I am also able to grow lavender on the north side of my house because those few hours of intense afternoon sun bounce off my driveway and foundation creating an arid micro-climate for the lavender to flourish.

To give plants the best chance to thrive, there are several factors to consider when selecting a site for new shrubs or perennials.

• Exposure – is not just sun but wind, rain and snow, too. Shrubs such as boxwood and arborvitae dry out easily in the winter if they are too exposed to wind. Prevent this with an application of an anti-desiccant, but selecting a more protected area is optimal.

• Access to water – plants don’t just rely on rainfall for moisture but snow as well. Snow is vital to perennials in our zone. It provides moisture in the spring, and it also offers protection

LEARNING TO GROW Jody Lay through the winter months. A healthy snow fall before a deep freeze provides a comfy blanket while perennials sleep.

When we get a warmer winter day, it gives the plant a little drink. This process continues all winter and is an integral part of the perennial’s life cycle. Likewise, proximity to a down spout or leaky gutter can make or break a perennial. Bearded irises and lilies don’t like a lot of water, while Siberian irises and hydrangeas love consistent water all summer.

• Heat sources – siding, foundations, driveways and sidewalks radiate heat, especially on hot, sunny days. Consider that when you’re planting ANY plants.

We get a lot of calls to the help desk about vegetable gardens that aren’t producing. If your garden is close to your house and foundation you could be losing a lot of moisture and may need to water more often. Perennials

Hydrangeas appreciate a site with consistent moisture, writes columnist and master gardener Jody Lay. can burn, even in the shade, from the heat that comes off your house. Keep plants away from dryer vents that will also dry out plants.

• Proximity to the street – all kinds of things come off our streets, like road salt in the winter and rainwater if the street has pour drainage. Choose shrubs and perennials that can handle these conditions.

• Existing trees – don’t forget that tree roots underground reach out as wide as the tree’s canopy. These roots steal moisture from the soil, leaving little for perennials. There are plants

that like this scenario, so do your homework before planting.

And find out what kind of tree it is.

Black walnuts limit what will grow around them. Pine trees can also create inhospitable growing conditions.

• COOKING

Paella

Serves 8

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a 14 inch skillet with a lid. Sauté the chicken thighs and sausage until brown and cooked through – remove to platter.

Saute the onion and pepper until softened; add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat the rice without browning it. Pour in the clam juice and 1 cup of broth and move the pan around so the ingredients are in an even layer and mixed together.

Cook until the liquid is absorbed, 4-5 minutes.

Add the rest of the broth and the saffron, bring to a boil, stir, cover, put in the oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

Remove pan from oven, and place the chicken, sausage, and raw shrimp on top. Cover, return to oven and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.

at a Mexican grocery store in Aurora and make seafood cocktails just like we had that night at the Garcia’s party.

About 10 years ago, a foreign exchange student from Sweden lived with us for a year. Upon her arrival, Gabriella’s mother, who owns a spice export business, sent along an assortment of exotic spices with her daughter as a present to me. There was star anise, and whole vanilla beans, and cardamon. And then I opened a bright gold tin tied with a red satin ribbon. Gabi told me it was saffron, and it was used to make paella.

My mind instantly rushed back to that veranda, and that fancy pot with the copper lid.

I found a recipe online and learned you can put whatever you want into a paella. I make mine with shrimp, chicken and sausage. Now I knew it was the saffron that made Rosario’s rice so special that marvelous night in Mexico, nearly 40 years ago. It’s pricey, but a little goes a long way.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose deadline driven. My mom once reassured me that this doesn’t mean I am a slacker, but more of a percolator. Yes! I allow ideas to percolate (or marinate … aren’t metaphors fun?) until they’re ready – or until my editor is ready (deadlines!), and then I begin typing. In some cases I type nothing but the wee kernel of an idea, and then just hope for the best.

Yes, I wing it. I trust that the process of getting the ball rolling will allow my ideas to further unfurl. Sometimes they don’t, and remain sweet nothings. Other times, they blossom.

In this way, writing, for me, is more of a lifestyle than an activity that begins and ends at my desk. As I go about my days I keep my antennae up for material for my stories. I stay tuned in to my experiences of the people and the world around me, and if I hear or see something that resonates with me I’ll jot it down (or text myself). And later, after allowing the idea to percolate a bit,

will do that sit-down-at-the-computerwith-the-wee-nuggets thing and see what develops. I get a huge kick out of puzzling things out, especially when ideas begin to hang together well, and love sculpting my musings into something others might find coherent and palatable (even, hopefully, helpful, in some way).

So no, I’m not an outliner, or a daily, butt-in-chair kind of writer. I’m more of a pull-over-to-the-side-of-the-road-andwrite-on-a-receipt, or dictate something to whichever kid happens to be in the passenger seat kind of writer. Or a wake-up-giggling-at-3-a.m.-and-writeit-on-my-arm-in-the-dark-lest-I-forget-it (because where is that dang notebook?) kind of writer. In other words, I trust the process. I abuse a lot of hyphens – and ellipses. Yeah. And I obsessively edit (letting go is hard!), even after I’ve clicked “send.” And yes, I do lots of research, unless the piece in question is pure memoir. I have a desk in the den but no door, so no dice. Too many distractions. So my “real” desk is an antique red painted table I picked up at a yard sale 12 years ago, which now is stuffed into a corner of my bedroom. And my chair is an antique oak office chair I nabbed at a the Kane County Flea Market for $25 – which, I

love, in spite of its squeaks! (And which, I suppose, could use some oil.)

What am I working on right now?

Among other things, an absurd, and hopefully humorous rhyming picture book (most of my picture books are written in prose, however), for which I jotted down the kernel of an idea nine or 10 year ago, following a particularly humorous but trying walk to the beach.

Yeah. Inevitably, there are moments, at least one a week, when such things happen that inspire me to write.

But those weeks when I’m feeling too weary to be inspired or simply have no (publishable) words for that thing about which I’m really preoccupied but about which I absolutely couldn’t or shouldn’t write about for publication, about he-orshe-who-shall-(for now)-remain-nameless, when a column is due anyway? I still gotta come up with something – and sometimes, what I come up with really stinks. Please don’t read my column those weeks, OK?

How the heck do I manage to write a column every week? Every single week for more than seven years? I get this question a lot.

My earliest recollection of “being a writer” is of a time in third grade when I wrote a story during a sleepover with my friend, Cheryl. I have no idea what that story was about, but recall we also wrote a letter to the president of Romania. We had high hopes that the spritz of perfume we added before sealing the envelope would inspire him to introduce us to our idol, the gymnast Nadia Comaneci. I ended up editing my high school and college newspapers, and earned an undergraduate degree in journalism before pursuing counseling degrees in graduate school, but have continued processing my experiences of the world through writing, in various genres and across my various fields of interest, ever since.

My writing process is quite organic, and it’s only in the last few years that I’ve begun accepting and even celebrating it as valid. It works for me — and besides, it’s fun! In a nutshell, I try to strike while the iron is hot and write when the spirit moves me. (If I’m lucky, I also manage to avoid too many cliches.) I work best under pressure. In other words, I’m

Babies should not eat rice cereals Dear Dr. K: You recently wrote about the

dangers of feeding rice cereal to babies.

Can you tell me more about this? What should I give my baby instead?

Dear Reader: For years, rice cereal has been a go-to food for parents when they start their babies on solid foods. My Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Claire McCarthy, a primary care pediatrician at Boston Children’s Hospital, says it’s time to change that.

In 2012, the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a report warning about high levels of inorganic arsenic in rice and rice products.

Inorganic arsenic is a common ingredient in pesticides and other products used in farming. It can linger in the soil for a long time after it is used – and rice plants are particularly good at absorbing arsenic from the soil.

In high doses, inorganic arsenic is lethal. Even small amounts can damage the brain, nerves, blood vessels or skin – and increase the risk of birth defects and cancer. Babies who eat two servings of rice cereal a day could double their lifetime cancer risk. In addition, studies show that babies exposed to inorganic arsenic, including exposure before they are born, have a higher risk of learning problems.

The FDA has decided to propose a new upper limit for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal of 100 parts per billion (ppb).

The FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggest the following for young children and pregnant women: • Iron-fortified cereals are still a recommended first food for babies. But rice cereal isn’t the only choice. Oat, barley and mixed-grain cereals can provide iron too.

• Toddlers should eat varied grains as well.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS •

Parents should be mindful of the rice (or rice syrup) toddlers may consume in “puffs” and other snacks.

• Pregnant women should vary their diet and eat other grains besides rice.

• To decrease the amount of arsenic in rice, cook it as you would cook pasta: Cook one part rice in 6 to 10 parts water and drain off the excess. Cooking it this way can decrease the arsenic content by 40 to 60 percent.

Finally, be mindful that brown rice has more arsenic than white. That’s because arsenic accumulates in the “germ” that is removed from brown rice to make white rice. Cereals and other products made from brown rice are particularly likely to be high in arsenic.

Please understand that I’m not saying that most of us should avoid rice. I eat rice a good deal, and brown rice preferentially. That’s because it has a better glycemic index and also tastes great.

What the FDA and the AAP are saying is that infants and pregnant women should minimize rice intake. The risk to the developing brain of a child from arsenic in rice is not great. After all, billions of living babies and their pregnant mothers have had rice meals and are doing just fine. However, there are better alternatives for pregnant women and infants than rice.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Dr. Wallace: I met a guy at a friend’s birthday party several months ago. He seemed like a nice guy and I was happy that he asked me to go out with him. He called a week later and we had a movie and snack date and I had a good time. Our second date consisted of him teaching me how to bowl. It was a lot of fun and I started to get excited about seeing him.

During our first two dates we shared things about ourselves.

I told him that I play the piano, enjoy gymnastics and sing in the church choir. He told me that he was an all-league football player and honors student and was planning to attend the University of Notre Dame on a football scholarship in 2017. He really impressed me.

Last week I was talking with two girls who attend the same school as this guy. When I told them about how impressed I was with him, they laughed. They told me that he has been kicked out of school for having marijuana in his locker, never played

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace football, and lacks the intelligence to be an honors student. I called Ken and he admitted that he had lied to me because he wanted to impress me because he wanted to know me better.

What should I do, forgive him and continue seeing him, or stop seeing him immediately? I promise that I will take your advice. –

Keep your child safe.

Nameless, Indianapolis, Ind.

Nameless: There’s no reason why you shouldn’t forgive this guy, but I don’t think you should go out with him again. His lies were far too blatant for him ever to be trustworthy. Besides, if he had told you the truth about himself, you probably wouldn’t have gone out with him in the first place. Now that you know, stop seeing him immediately.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-year-old female and my dream is to become a fashion model. I have the

look agents seek when looking for models except for one major problem. I am totally aware that a fashion model must be at least 5-feet-6 in her stocking feet. I’m 5-feet-4, though I’m not sure if I have reached my maximum height yet.

I may still grow two additional inches. My dad is 5-feet-11 and my mother is 5-feet-5 and I know that heredity has a lot to do with body build. How much longer can I expect to keep growing? Is there anything I can do to grow taller? – Kylee, Oklahoma City,

Okla.

Kylee: You still have a ways

to go, and could very well reach that magical height of 5-feet-6.

Most females keep growing until their 17th year. Boys grow even longer; they generally don’t reach their peak height until their 19th year.

Sorry, but Mother Nature alone determines a person’s eventual height.

About six months ago, I started a new job I really enjoy. A handyman who does odd jobs around the building was working on the floor in my area. He was chatty and I made polite conversation, but now things have escalated.

He has started contacting me on social media to the point where I had to block him. He tries to talk to me daily and I am feeling very uncomfortable. He’s twice my age and I have no interest in him, romantically or otherwise.

It has reached the point where I have a great deal of anxiety about going to work. I feel uncomfortable and intimidated. It’s especially difficult because I work alone most of the day, so I am nervous he might try to harm me. How should I approach this without it turning into a huge deal at work? I want to let my manager know, but I’m afraid it’ll only cause more issues and make things worse. I’m afraid to make him mad, and afraid about what he might do. Any advice would be great. – Afraid He’ll Harm Me Dear Afraid: Talk to your manager about this immediately. This man should not be attempting to have a personal relationship with you in or out of work. He needs to be told to stop bothering you during work hours or attempting to contact you afterward, because if he doesn’t, he could be cited for harassment or lose his job.

Dear Abby: I am 23 and a dog sitter. I work through a company that sets up the visits and stay overnight with different families’ dogs.

There’s one family I sit for regularly. I absolutely love their two dogs and the family themselves. I stay anywhere from two nights to seven nights and work a second job on the weekdays.

After walking, feeding, etc. is done, I have a ton of free time. My dilemma: I’d like my long-term boyfriend to stay with me for a night or two on the weekends. I’m having trouble figuring out how – or if – I should ask them. They have never met my boyfriend, but I have proven my own trustworthiness because they keep asking me to come back. I will go through my boss first, but I’m worried that the family may be offended if I even ask. Should I ask, or should I just let it be since it’s part of my job? Help! – The Dog Sitter Dear Dog Sitter: You are in the dog-sitting BUSINESS, and if you want to be successful, you need to view it as such. Definitely discuss this question with your employer. Because you are working through a company, that company could be liable for any property loss or damage that might occur while your boyfriend was staying in a client’s home with you. But if there’s any question in your mind about how asking your clients to have your boyfriend stay with you in their house will be received, don’t do it. Some families have moral values that would preclude unmarried couples sleeping together under their roof. For the sake of your own credibility, please consider what I’m trying to convey to you.

Please don’t go out with him again

TELEVISION Best Bets

FRIDAY

8 p.m. on _ WLS The $100,000 Pyramid Martha Stewart competing against Snoop Dogg isn’t the likeliest showdown, but their rivalry in this episode of the game-show revival ultimately indicates whether the culinary expert or the rapper has more skill at guessing categories. Host Michael Strahan presides over that contest, as well as the one in the hour’s second half that pits “Dr. Ken” co-stars Ken Jeong and Tisha Campbell Martin against each other to reach the winner’s circle.

8 p.m. on ) WGN Beauty and the Beast Vincent (Jay Ryan) is put to the test — actually, a whole battery of them — in the new episode “Means to an End.” The would-be beast buyer wants to see just what he might be getting, but Vincent plays it cagey in a bid to avoid confirming his true nature. Cat, JT and Heather (Kristin Kreuk, Austin Basis, Nicole Gale Anderson) continue their efforts on the intended behalf of Vincent.

8 p.m. on + WTTW American Experience Mention Watergate, and virtually anyone knows whose presidency is defined by it. An encore of the 1996 documentary “Nixon” can’t help but focus largely on the scandal that eventually ended Richard M. Nixon’s time in the White House. However, the program also deals with other milestones of his political career, including his 1952 “Checkers speech” (about questionable expenses — and a dog) and his televised 1960 debates with John F. Kennedy.

8:59 p.m. on ^ WBBM Code Black Saving a patient is only the first step for Christa (Bonnie Somerville) in “We Plug Holes.” She then wants to ensure the woman still can bear children, and she seeks Neal’s (Raza Jaffrey) surgical help to that end. Mario’s (Benjamin Hollingsworth) forecast of a hockey player’s future isn’t received well ... to the degree that fisticuffs are thrown. Marcia Gay Harden and William Allen Young also star.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM NCIS: Los Angeles Granger (Miguel Ferrer) has a deeply personal tie to his mission in “Granger, O” as he accompanies a North Korean spy (guest star Malese Jow) back to Los Angeles. She actually is the daughter he’s long been separated from, and she lets him know she’s aware of that connection.

Chris O’Donnell, LL Cool J, Linda Hunt, Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Rio Olympics As the Summer Games continue from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, events available for coverage include: Japan vs. Russia and Brazil vs. the Republic of Korea in women’s volleyball; men’s or women’s Round of 16 matches in beach volleyball; and Round 1 of the women’s 1500m, the women’s heptathlon, Round 1 of the men’s 400m and the qualifying round of the men’s long jump in track and field.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Shark Tank Sharks including Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner get a new taste for — and from — hummus in this episode, as they’re treated to the flavor spin it gets from a new-college-grad entrepreneur from Orlando, Fla. That’s not the only munching they do here, since New York pals also present their edible cups. A Los Angeles woman pitches her idea for eyelash extensions, and a couple of well-dressed Arizona siblings suggest an innovative way of remembering computer passwords.

7 p.m. on ) WGN Masters of Illusion The title “Classic Magic Mashups” suggests that each act will involve several familiar aspects of prestidigitation, likely causing the featured illusionists to reach beyond their usual comfort zones to incorporate other elements. The performers showcased here are Les Arnold and Dazzle, Chris Randall, Jason Bishop, Johnny Ace Palmer, Sittah and Greg Frewin. Dean Cain continues as host. Another episode follows.

7 p.m. on @ WFLD MasterChef The beginning of the two-hour presentation “Gordon Ramsay Masterclass/Vets, Jets and Home Cooks” is all about lobster, as chef, host and judge Ramsay shows how to separate one for culinary purposes.

Seeing leads to doing for 16 contestants, since they have to emulate what Ramsay did. Then, the remaining competitors are divided into two squads to serve just over 100 military veterans a steak dish that also involves two sides and a sauce.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Hawaii Five-0 Though they aren’t related in real life, Michelle Hurd and Paige Hurd are linked by

family in “Malama ka Po’e” (Hawaiian for “Care for One’s People”), as they return as two of Grover’s (Chi McBride) closest loved ones. He tries to protect them while they’re all fugitives when an underworld kingpin seeks revenge for a case Grover handled many years ago. Mark Valley (“Boston Legal”) also guest stars. Alex O’Loughlin, Scott Caan and Grace Park also star.

9 p.m. on ^ WBBM Blue Bloods An iconic movie car — one driven up and down the hills of San Francisco by Steve McQueen in a 1968 crime classic — is at the heart of “The Bullitt Mustang,” When the vehicle is stolen from its current owner (guest star, and “ER” veteran, Anthony Edwards), Danny and Baez (Donnie Wahlberg, Marisa Ramirez) search for it. Erin and Frank (Bridget Moynahan, Tom Selleck) clash over allegations that some cops are “fixing” friends’ traffic tickets.

9 p.m. on + WTTW The Great British Baking Show There’s a personal touch to “The Final,” which does indeed cap this season of the competition, since relatives of the three finalists appear and give some background on the candidates to be crowned the champ. (In one case, that means having pretended to be on a show like this.) Once it’s back to business in the kitchen, the cooks have to make a picnic pie, several varieties of soft pretzels and — as the concluding Showstopper — a three-tiered wedding cake.

10 p.m. on + WTTW POV Terry is in his early 80s and has been given a terminal cancer diagnosis. Inge, 89, is recovering from depression and the effects of a stroke. Sun Lao has made it to 84 despite a lifelong love of alcohol and tobacco. They are three of the eight competitors in a world table tennis championship for people over 80 whose stories are told in the inspiring documentary “Ping Pong.” If you don’t find yourself cheering, check yourself for a pulse.

THURSDAY

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM The Big Bang Theory An ill Sheldon (Jim Parsons) definitely is not a happy Sheldon, for himself nor for anyone else, as he proves in “The Empathy Optimization.” His endless griping about his condition takes its toll on the rest of the gang, to the degree that they decide they need a weekend away to recover from his recovery ... without his presence.

Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar and Mayim Bialik also star.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Rio Olympics As the Summer Games continue from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, events available for coverage include: Italy vs. Mexico and Brazil vs. the USA in men’s volleyball; men’s or women’s “Lucky Loser” matches in beach volleyball; and several events in swimming, including the men’s 50m freestyle semifinals, the women’s 200m breaststroke final, the men’s 200m backstroke final and the women’s 200m backstroke semifinals.

7 p.m. on _ WLS BattleBots Vernon Davis, who was a member of the Denver Broncos when they won Super Bowl 50, is a guest judge for “Shake, Battle, and Roll: The Round of 32 Part 2,” as the 32 teams still in the competition put their robots up to do the indicated battling. The heat is on the judges, who also include Fon Davis and Jessica Chobot, since they have to determine a winner if there’s no knockout in one of the threeminute bouts. Samantha Ponder is the host.

7 p.m. on ) WGN DC’s Legends of Tomorrow What’s the story with Rip (Arthur Darvill)?

The question largely is answered by “Last Refuge,” as the character assigns the Legends to kidnap their younger selves — the state in which he first met them — when a killer known as the Pilgrim (guest star Faye Kingslee) targets those more youthful versions. The experience proves challenging for Professor Stein (Victor Garber), Sara (Caity Lotz) and others who have problems with their pasts.

7:31 p.m. on ^ WBBM Life in Pieces Leaving your child in the care of someone else takes a leap of faith, which is why Jen and Greg (Zoe Lister-Jones, Colin Hanks) take so much time choosing a nanny in “Nanny Tent Earnings Cheeto.” Heather (Betsy Brandt) thinks Matt (Thomas Sadoski) used money she loaned him for a purpose other than the one intended. A puppet carved by John (James Brolin) provides fun for the whole family, literally.

Michael Strahan hosts “The $100,000 Pyramid” Thursday on ABC.

Gordon Ramsay hosts “MasterChef” Friday on Fox.

7 p.m. on ^ WBBM Rush Hour It’s one thing to be harassed, but when the targets are power players and the source of the problem seems to be the same person in all cases, it becomes a matter for Carter and Lee (Justin Hires, Jon Foo) in the new episode “The Dark Night.” The detectives’ probe reveals that the victims have plenty of skeletons they’d rather leave in their respective closets.

7 p.m. on % WMAQ Rio Olympics As the Summer Games continue from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, events available for coverage include: Canada vs. Mexico and Brazil vs. Italy in men’s volleyball; men’s or women’s Round of 16 matches in beach volleyball; swimming finals in the women’s 50m freestyle and the men’s 1500m freestyle; and the women’s heptathlon, the men’s 400m semifinals, the qualifying round of the men’s pole vault and the final of the men’s long jump in track and field.

7 p.m. on _ WLS Last Man Standing Reba McEntire used to follow this show with her sitcom “Malibu Country,” and she’s back in its trajectory as she gueststars in “Outdoor Woman.” She plays Mike’s (Tim Allen) former flame, and he wants Outdoor Man to carry her line of rock-climbing equipment. The proposal results in her request that he travel with her to help promote the deal — something he’s very wary of. Kristin and Ryan (Amanda Fuller, Jordan Masterson) unload possessions.

7:31 p.m. on _ WLS Dr. Ken Ken’s (Ken Jeong) visiting father (guest star Dana Lee) makes himself an amateur handyman in “D.K. and the Dishwasher,” picking up the slack on household duties Ken hasn’t fulfilled. Those include the purchase of a new dishwasher, which Ken sabotages in his own way. The results of Damona and Pat’s (Tisha Campbell-Martin, Dave Foley) unexpected night together are surprising. Suzy Nakamura and Jonathan Slavin also star.

Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright) decides he needs a new method of pulling pranks.

7 p.m. on + WTTW Dancing on the Edge The series finale, alternately known as “Episode 8” and “Interviewing Louis,” finds some of the characters looking back on events that have fueled the drama’s narrative.
