Two students complete internships

Two interns have wrapped up their time in our newsroom.

Claire Jacobi, a student at Butler University in Indiana, and Kaitlyn Veto, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, are heading back to class.

Both completed a lot of work for the paper this summer. Claire focused primarily on sports, while Kaitlyn spent most of her time on photography.

“My summer internship with the Kane County Chronicle provided me with more learning experiences and memories than I could have imagined,” Claire wrote in an internship recap.

“During my 10 weeks with the Chronicle, I accomplished my goals of improving my writing and interviewing skills. ... From this internship I take away a

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar newfound confidence, fun memories and much improved journalism skills.

The Chronicle treats their interns like ... true members of the staff, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose to spend part of my summer here.”

Kaitlyn, who was busy this summer with another job and academic classes, noted that – despite her busy schedule – the effort was worth the experience she gained.

“What a ride this summer has been,” she wrote in a recap. “ ... Thank you to

the Kane County Chronicle for giving me an opportunity to flex my journalistic skills, whether that be photography, writing or interviewing, something that I will carry with me and apply to all of my future experiences.”

A big thank you to Kaitlyn and Claire for all they did this summer and best of luck to them as they start a new school year.

Elburn village administrator working last days

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Village Administrator Erin Willrett’s last Elburn board meeting took place Aug. 15.

Village President Dave Anderson made an announcement that Willrett would be leaving right before the adjournment of the Committee of the Whole meeting.

“It’s been a pleasure,” he told Willrett.

After the meeting, Anderson said he was “happy and sad at the same time” of Willrett’s leaving.

“I’m happy for Erin; sad for the village,” he said. “I think she’s been excellent for the village. She’s a classy young lady.”

Anderson said there was much more he could say, but that he would “leave it at that.”

Willrett has been in the village administrator position since 2008, when Anderson appointed her and the Village Board approved her appointment.

The board had approved her reappointment each year until this one, when Anderson did not bring the motion before the board.

Earlier this year, Willrett had submitted her resignation to the board with a request for a separation agreement upon learning that several trustees were considering not approving her reappointment for the new fiscal year, which was to begin May 1.

In a 4-2 vote, the board rejected the separation agreement, with Trustees Ken Anderson and John Krukoff voting to accept it. A second proposed separation agreement, with a reduced dollar amount, was also rejected – this time by a 5-1 vote. Ken Anderson was the only

trustee to vote for it the second time.

At the end of April, instead of presenting re-appointments to the board for their approval, Dave Anderson followed state statute, which allows for village appointees to remain in place unless replaced by another appointment by the village president or mayor.

Willrett said her last day with the village will be Aug. 26. She said she will be moving on to another administrative position with another municipality.

Trustee Dave Gualdoni said he and the other board members are happy for her.

“We wish her good luck on her future endeavors,” Gualdoni said. “On to a new chapter.”

Gualdoni said the village has an interim replacement for Willrett, with an appointment to be announced soon.

The family that farms together Six generations have worked at Wiltse’s Farm

By TARAH THORNE tthorne@shawmedia.com MAPLE PARK – If there’s one good crop this year aside from corn at Wiltse’s Farm in Maple Park, it’s sweet onions.

“They are just huge,” said Patty Marco, a fifth-generation family member and farm owner. “This is the biggest yield we’ve seen in a while.”

Marco has been helping out around the farm ever since she can remember.

Her parents, Marie and Jerome Wiltse, started out with a small farm stand in 1965. It wasn’t until 10 years ago that Marco’s sister, Kate Wiltse, decided to add greenhouses to the property.

Now the family has an entire farm market that they run out of their former cattle barn, and area grocers such as Ream’s Meat Market and Hy-Vee carry Wiltse’s produce.

Marie Wiltse said her favorite duty at the farm is simply talking to customers.

“My mother dabbled in farming a bit when we were kids and just never stopped,” Marco said. “We all grew up in the family business.”

With seven greenhouses, farming season starts in mid-February for Wiltse’s. By mid-April, the sweet corn, potatoes and onions are in the ground, Marco said, adding that you-pick strawberries are ready by Memorial Day and you-pick pumpkins are a hit in the fall.

“Our produce season goes all through the end of October – maybe even November,” Marco said. “The weather is fit this year.”

Marco said her family hopes to open a country Christmas store for the first time this year, with holiday greenery.

The family is up early every morning picking sweet corn – a summertime staple. Marco’s niece, Jordan Bullard, a sophomore at Western Illinois University, works as a cashier in the farm market.

“It’s hard being away from my family during the school year, so I really look forward to my summers working at home,” Bullard said. “My aunts make work fun. There’s never a dull moment.”

Marco said the farm is officially run by herself, Kate Wiltse and their brother Joe Wiltse, in addition to their

for winter,” Marco said.

Marco said she enjoys seeing young children visit the farm to learn more about how produce is grown.

“One kid wanted to see where our strawberry trees were,” Marco said with a laugh.

Customers travel from near and far Madeline Clinard, 8, of Elburn shops for zucchini during a trip to Wiltse’s Farm Market in to pick up fresh produce, Marco said, adding that a few customers stop by Maple Park with her mother and siblings (not pictured). annually on summer road trips.

“It’s a true family farm,” Marco about how easy it is to freeze produce each summer, she said.

“I love the corn and all the veggies said. “We always say we’ve been farm- for the offseason. ing ‘before it was cool.’”

“It’s really easy to chop up vegeta- really,” Lamb said. “I’ve been coming In addition to encouraging people to bles and throw them in a freezer bag here about 15 years.”

Car and Motorcycle Show to benefit Pat Hill

By CHRIS WALKER

If you go

editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – Former Kane County Sheriff Pat Perez said he fielded a number of phone calls last year when his Car and Motorcycle Show didn’t happen.

“I cannot recall how many people contacted me and said they really liked the show and wished we still had it,” Perez said. “When the people at [Martin Family Farm] contacted me and said we could still use their facility, it was kind of a no-brainer.”

This year’s show is scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 3 at the Martin Family Farm, 2S111 Green Road, Elburn. Registration will be from 9 a.m. to noon.

“The only difference is I’m not doing it on behalf of being the sheriff, but as a guy with the ability to do something good to help people out,” Perez said.

Perez estimates that about $80,000 has been raised for charitable causes during the previous eight events, and he’s hopeful for similar success this year with funds being raised for Kaneville village president and Hill’s Country Store owner, Pat Hill, who is battling cancer.

“My wife and I have known Pat for a long time, and we were out shopping several months ago and we knew she had the one bout of cancer before, but then heard about a relapse with lesions in her brain so we wanted to see what we could do for her,” Perez said.

“We asked her if she would mind if we helped raise funds for her this year...

It’s just our way of trying to help her.”

n WHAT: Car and Motorcycle Show n WHEN: Noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 3; regis-

tration will be from 9 a.m. to noon n WHERE: Martin Family Farm, 2S111

Green Road, Elburn n COST: $10 per car being displayed

and $5 per carload of attendees

Former Kane County Sheriff Pat Perez will plans his annual Car and Motorcycle Show on Sept. 3 at Martin Family Farm in Elburn. All proceeds will benefit Kaneville village president and Hill’s Country Store owner, Pat Hill, who is battling cancer.

In addition to a variety of cars and motorcycles being on display, there will be a 50-50 raffle, food, music by ML Productions and prizes.

The entry fee is $10 per car being displayed and $5 per carload of attendees.

“It’s a beautiful setting at Martin Family Farm; it’s like a hidden gem

and just a beautiful place for car collectors to get together,” Perez said. “We get to have a show like this and if it’s a sunny day, it’s perfect because we’re on grass rather than blacktop. We get a lot of people who come out, and there can be anything from Model-Ts to brand-new Corvettes and Mustangs,

and everything in between.”

Perez has always been a car guy, but even he couldn’t have fathomed how successful the show has been in the past.

“I have a lot of friends that are car guys or gear heads, or whatever you call them,” he said. “Some of them said it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do something like this when I became sheriff, so I’ve had a chance to share a hobby with our neighbors, plus we’re doing it for a great reason every year – helping a local charity.”

If Perez could ask for one thing in particular at this year’s show, he said it’s good weather. The last few shows have fallen victim to rain.

“The last three [shows] we’ve fought rain in the day, so we’re praying for good weather,” he said. “The better the weather usually means a better turnout. We started with 74 participants and have had as many as 246 before, which is a pretty good size show, so our only real enemy is weather.”

All of the proceeds will benefit Pat Hill. Those who can’t attend this year’s show can make a donation at Old Second Bank in the Pat Hill Benefit account.

Kaneland High School names Oslager new assistant principal

By STEFANIE FRAZIER editorial@kcchronicle.com There’s a new Kaneland Knight around town, and her name is Carri Oslager.

The Kaneland School Board recently approved the hiring of Oslager, who will serve as assistant principal for curriculum, instruction and student activities at Kaneland High School.

Oslager, 45, an Elgin resident, said she’s “really excited and happy” Carri Oslager about the new job.

“I look at it as a great opportunity to do something different even though it’s still an assistant principal position,” she said. “... It’s a new district. It’s new ideas.”

Oslager is a wife to her husband, David, and a mother to her three children

– Alex, 21, Leah, 18 and Rachel, 15.

There were 40 applicants for the assistant principal position, Kaneland High School Principal Jill Maras said.

The other assistant principal at the high school is still Diane McFarlin. Oslager replaces previous Assistant Principal Mike Rice.

Maras said Rice has accepted Kaneland’s 6-12 director of curriculum and instruction position.

“Carri comes to us with experience in administration and a passion for helping us to be the best we can be,” Maras said. “She will be a great support as we continue to grow.”

Oslager, who was born in Shannon, Ill., had initially worked in the business world before pursuing a career in education.

She has taught about 17 years in schools that include Stillman Valley High School in Stillman Valley, and Central High School in Burlington Cen-

tral Community School District 301.

Oslager was a dean and assistant principal at Central High School, as well as an elementary principal in the same district. As an assistant principal, she split her time between Prairie View Grade School and Country Trails Elementary School.

“It was very cool to see how teachers really work with kids, and to watch kids at such a young age,” Oslager said. “... They’re so excited and they give you a hug, and they think everything is wonderful. But also at the same time [it’s cool] watching those teachers do so many different things in one classroom.”

Oslager learned a lesson about herself over the years.

“I am a high school person,” she said.

Oslager’s new role includes making a school improvement plan, overseeing teaching and learning, evaluating staff, monitoring activities, field trips

and conferences, and reporting to the principal.

“My goal is really to … just sit back and listen, and watch and see how we can continue what’s already put in place,” Oslager said. “And how I can kind of help with that.”

Meanwhile, David Oslager said he’s “very glad” for his wife.

“She found her calling with being a teacher and has now risen up to administration, and [she] just absolutely loves it,” David Oslager said.

When it comes to relaxing after work, Carri Oslager plans to walk her two dogs – a Jack Russell terrier named Grace and a Lab-mix puppy named Alice. She also likes to read historical biographies, historical fiction and “People” magazine.

As for becoming a Knight and wearing the school colors, Carri Oslager found a perk.

“Black is always slimming,” she said.

I had the chance to visit the newly remodeled Anderson Animal Shelter in honor of its 50th anniversary. The shelter has adopted out tens of thousands of animals in those 50 years.

Always the dog lover, I never found it fair to have a dog because I was always gone for about 12 hours a day between work, the gym and my former hourslong commute.

So I used to get my “dog fix” by walking dogs at my local shelter while living in McHenry County. It fed my soul and always made my day better.

If there was a new litter of puppies, some of the volunteers and I would just sit on the floor as they climbed us and licked our faces.

One thing I didn’t expect to encounter at Anderson were some pet parakeets and other little critters, including gerbils, available for adoption.

Every pet deserves a loving home.

Dead wrong about roadkill A few weeks ago I came as close as I’ve ever come to getting my Naturalist Card revoked.

Right there on Route 47, a little south of Plank Road, with the sun high in the sky and a hint of a breeze in the air, I had to admit to the biggest gaffe I’ve ever made as a nature professional. It didn’t involve birds or bees, snakes, spiders or any of the other usual objects nature nerds encounter.

It was, however, a matter of life or death. Namely death, actually.

I misidentified a roadkill.

I suppose I need to back up a little bit and explain how, to road-borne naturalists, bloated remains are more than just decomposing heaps of ick. And fuzzy pancakes near center lines aren’t just greasy spots of fur or feathers. Nosirree. Roadkill serves as an important indicator of what species are present in an area, what their relative abundance might be and how their seasonal activities can influence their chances of survival, or demise.

Soft brown lumps near wet areas in spring? They let us know that muskrats are breeding. Last year’s offspring, which have enjoyed the protection of living under mom and dad’s roof, need to hit the road, so to speak, to make room for this year’s young. Inexperienced and nearsighted to boot, many don’t survive their first trip across pavement.

Gray-brown and reddish-orange feathers in summer? They indicate more breeding. Robins, in their haste to provide food for their broods, at times miscalculate the speed they need to fly from one side of the street to the other.

Gray or orangish-brown lumps in fall? That means squirrels are more focused on gathering food for winter than on looking both ways before crossing a street. As scatter-hoarders, squirrels don’t stockpile food in one location. They put a little bit here and a little bit there – a great strategy for avoiding total loss should one site get raided or otherwise become unavailable. But scatter-hoarding involves a lot of scurrying, often across streets and sometimes with dire consequences.

Turtles on the move in spring, hormone-addled deer in fall, skunks scavenging on garbage night ... the list of correlations between behaviors and consequences goes on and on.

Over the years I’ve become a bit of a roadkill connoisseur – not in a culinary sense, mind you, but more along the lines of being able to recognize decaying lumps at 35, 45, even 55 miles per hour. So when that fateful day on Route 47, I saw a sizable gray-brown lump, with a white stripe down the

Photo provided

This turkey vulture is unconcerned about the identity of the roadkill it’s found. For naturalists, however, an inaccurate ID brings far-reaching consequences.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto face, my brain went right to the only mammal I thought it could be: Taxidea taxus, the American badger.

If we were to assign point values to local roadkill, badgers would rate at least a 9. While their numbers seem to have increased over the past decade or so (we even have a roadkill badger in our freezer at Hickory Knolls) they’re still not as common as squirrels and raccoons.

So you can just imagine the thrill I felt, bittersweet as it was, when I saw that badger on the east shoulder of Route 47 in Hampshire. Normally I would have stopped to take a picture, but as I was running late to a program at Pingree Grove Forest Preserve, I figured I’d wait till afterward to grab a pic – and maybe the whole carcass.

(Note: Even when dead, all native wildlife belongs to the state of Illinois. If you want to start collecting roadkill, you’ll first of all need a good reason and then second a permit from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.)

The program was on pollinators, about as far a topic from badgers as can be, but that didn’t stop me from announcing – to the ENTIRE GROUP – that a badger had been hit along 47.

And no, I didn’t stop there. I went on for several minutes about badgers’ roles in local ecosystems. Badger this, badger that ... I’d probably still be standing there babbling about badgers if my friend and colleague, Valerie Blaine, hadn’t steered the discussion back to beetles, butterflies and bees.

Still, I was buzzed about what I’d seen, and vowed to return to the roadside after the pollinator program concluded.

As luck would have it, Valerie appreciates roadkill, too. And so do Lee and Corey, two program participants who were gung-ho about fetching the badger. So, afterward, the four of us made a beeline back down 47 to get a look at my exciting discovery.

As we passed Plank Road in the southbound lane, I took my foot off the gas. The last thing I wanted to do was pass up the badger and have to make a U-turn. I told Lee to keep his eyes peeled as we coasted along, peering at the east-side shoulder in between vehicles zipping along in the northbound lane.

It wasn’t long before we spotted the grizzled lump, a haze of flies buzzing above its distended form. But this time, coming from the opposite direction, I saw something I hadn’t noticed before: a ringed tail. The “badger” I’d spotted was a raccoon – one of our area’s most common roadkill species.

In an instant, my life as a natu-

ralist flashed before my eyes. Montana glaciers and Smokey Mountain waterfalls, Arizona deserts and Maine coastlines. Torrey pines, Pinus torreya. California condors, Gymnogyps californianus. So many great nature experiences gone in an instant, replaced with the haunting image of one Procyon lotor.

Valerie, Corey, Lee and I pulled into a nearby parking lot to confer, briefly, on what we’d seen. Their comments, which I’m sure they self-edited before speaking, were said through suppressed smiles. “Not a badger,” said one. “’Coon,” said another. “Maybe someone replaced the badger with a raccoon,” Lee said, with just a wee hint of a smirk.

We turned our vehicles around and headed out onto the highway, passing the “badger” one last time as we drove back north to Pingree Grove.

The white facial stripe I was sure I’d spotted earlier was nowhere to be seen. As we drove past, the ringed tail flapped in the breeze, a final salute to a monumental fail.

Next week: All is not lost, after all!

Tasteful new shop branches out in Batavia Tea Tree features loose-leaf tea, gourmet oil and spices

Sugar Grove Verizon Wireless celebrates opening

By NATALIE JUNS editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting Aug. 10 for the new Verizon Wireless store in Sugar Grove.

Located off Route 47, next to Jimmy John’s, the store is owned by Batavia residents Dan and Eva Greenslade. They own six Verizon Wireless stores in Kane and DuPage counties and have been in the cellphone industry for 15 years.

The Greenslades said they have received a warm welcome from the Sugar Grove community since opening their store April 15.

“We are really looking forward to building relationships in Sugar Grove,”

Eva Greenslade said. “We’ve had people stop in to say ‘hi’ and tell us, ‘We’re glad you’re here.’ We are just as excited as everyone else.”

Dan Greenslade added that, as owners, they both enjoy the new atmosphere and community they are experiencing in Sugar Grove. The Greenslades said they decided to open the new location after noticing a need.

“One of the biggest differences between this location and our other locations is the population,” Greenslade said. “We are really enjoying the small town and how nice everyone is here. ...

We’ve had customers for a long time, and we’ve been able to watch customers’ kids grow up. People would drive a long distance just to go to our locations.

We hope to build a lot of relationships here.”

Bill Whitmer, village economic development coordinator, noted several advantages to opening a store in a smaller community, such as knowing exactly what the community is thinking.

“In a small town you know what the residents are thinking,” Whitmer said.

“I think residents will enjoy being able to drive around the corner to get to Verizon. I don’t like going online for everything, so I think it is nice [that] residents have the opportunity to quickly visit the store and become familiar with new opportunities.”

The new Sugar Grove Verizon Wireless store had a booth at the Sugar Grove Corn Boil this year, according to sales

associate Sam Hufnagle.

“I used to work at Best Buy, and I was their Verizon Wireless specialist,” Hufnagle said. “I wanted to see the Verizon side of things. Dan and Eva are really flexible. They make things [work] for their customers. If a customer wants a phone we don’t have, I can call them, and I can usually get the phone the next day.”

Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels said Verizon Wireless adds to Sugar Grove’s growing business community.

“This will be great for the community to have,” Michels said. “It’s a great location with Dunkin’ Donuts coming at the end of the year and Jimmy John’s next to it.”

Ex-cop pleads guilty to child sexual assault

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES TOWNSHIP – Former Elburn police officer David Wright, in the second day of his jury trial on 33 counts of sexual assault and abuse of a child, changed his plea to guilty.

Kane County Judge D.J. Tegeler accepted the negotiated plea Aug. 16, where Wright, 54, will serve 23 years on two counts of felony sexual assault of a child he knew.

The abuse occurred over 10 years, from the time the victim was 7 until she turned 17, prosecutors said. Wright was charged April 24, 2015, records show.

Also under the terms of the agreement, Wright waived all his rights to appeal, is not to have contact with the victim for 28 years and will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, Tegeler said.

As part of David Wright the agreement, the remaining 31 charges were dismissed, according to the agreement.

Wright sought the negotiated plea after nearly 20 minutes of emotional testimony from the victim, now 18, who described being raped by Wright in the master bathroom of his house

when she was 7 years old.

“He put me on the counter and told me it would hurt,” the teen testified.

“How did it feel?” Assistant State’s Attorney Deb Bree asked.

“It hurt,” she said. “I screamed.”

Through tears, the victim continued to testify, describing subsequent incidents of rape that occurred once or twice a week in the bedroom of Wright’s house while his wife was at work and the victim was in second grade.

Tegeler called for a break after Wright sent a note to his attorneys stating he wanted to change his plea.

Tegeler said the maximum prison time Wright faced was 638 years; the minimum was 143 years. Wright will get credit for 478 days in the Kane County jail.

The judge said he wanted Wright to waive all his constitutional rights to file an appeal or any other court actions before he would agree to the negotiated plea.

Tegeler said he did not want the victim to have to come back to court and relive what was done to her – before him or any other judge.

Focusing on the victim’s testimony that Wright had told the girl it “would hurt,” Tegeler spoke sternly to Wright,

saying that the only time an adult should say such a thing to a child should be when comforting the child for removing a bandage.

“Normal [people] don’t rape [a] child,” Tegeler said.

Wright, who will turn 55 on Aug. 19, was allowed to wear street clothes for the jury trial, though he was being held in the Kane County jail on $500,000 bond.

Wright was fired from the Elburn Police Department last year, following the investigation into the sex abuse charges.

Kane County electric Blue bulbs to raise support for police, aggregation customers awareness of police mental health to benefit from rate drop If you go KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@shawmedia.com

KANE COUNTY CHRONICLE editorial@kcchronicle.com About 12,000 households and small businesses in unincorporated Kane County will benefit from a decrease in their electric rate this month under the county’s electric aggregation program, according to a news release Aug. 4.

In 2015, Kane County government officials signed a two-year contract with Dynegy Energy Services LLC for a fixed electric rate of 6.533 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first 12 months, which would decrease to a rate of 6.065 cents per kilowatt-hour for the second 12 months of the agreement, the release stated.

Now that the program is entering its second year, the release stated, the rate will drop to 6.065, which is lower than ComEd’s current rate.

According to the release, the ComEd price is 6.19 cents per kilowatt-hour for June through September 2016, followed by an increase to 6.308 cents per kilowatt-hour for October through May 2017.

The ComEd price includes a base electric rate and a transmission service charge –

1.262 cents per kilowatt-hour for June 2016 through May 2017, the release stated, adding that Kane County electric aggregation customers do not pay a separate transmission service charge.

Ken Anderson, director of the Kane County Division of Environmental and Water Resources, said electric aggregation program enrollment has been up about 80 percent during its first year.

“As of May 2016, this translated to a collective savings of over $65,000 for unincorporated Kane County residents and small businesses because the county secured a lower electric rate through its aggregation program.”

Those who opted out of the aggregation program for its first year are able to join for the second year. Call Dynegy Energy Services at 866-6941262 to enroll.

ST. CHARLES – The Aug. 2 meeting of the St. Charles Kiwanis Club was “unusual” for three reasons, according to a news release.

First, the meeting was held at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in St. Charles at 5:30 p.m., instead of Baker Memorial United Methodist Church at noon.

Second, representatives from six other clubs were present.

Finally, the meeting was attended by one of the youngest participants in memory, stated the release.

Quinn Farren, a “bubbly” 3-yearold, was on hand – along with her parents, Cindy and Sam – to demonstrate her ability to navigate a specially designed toy car, the release stated.

The car was provided through the GoBabyGo program, whose goal is to assemble modified, battery-powered cars – with volunteer labor – to help children with disabilities become independently mobile, stated the release.

Quinn operates the car by pushing a button with her right knee, which is a therapeutic move for her, according to the release. She has spina bifida, a birth defect in which the spinal cord fails to develop properly. Symptoms of the condition can include leg weakness, scoliosis and hip dislocation. Advances in treatment over the past few decades have increased the survival rate from less than 10 percent to well more than 90 percent, stated the news release.

Linebacker/kicker: ‘There’s not much girlie talk anymore’ It still seems too hot and summery to talk about football.Yet, here it is.

I just had a chat with a friend of our granddaughter Mazy, another young lady named Katerina Koch, who is planning to play linebacker/kicker for John Wredling Middle School.

Right now Katerina is doing football camp, sharpening her many skills.

Soon they will “put on the pads” and get down to the business of the game.

“There’s not much girlie talk anymore,” Miss Koch reports. “Now that they have seen me play, all are very much supportive.” She gained much respect last year when – at 5-foot-8inch, 157 pounds – she went undefeated on the Wredling wrestling team.

I asked her how she learned the

JOAN KNOWS Joan Arteberry intricacies of football, especially defense. She said she taught herself, particularly watching games on TV. To show off my football brain, I asked her what number she would wear, suggesting old 51 from Dick Butkus’ days. Guess we’ll wait and see.

She says she prefers contact sports to the girlie alternatives. This year she has gained the reluctant consent of her parents to play football.

There’s a game on the first day of school, which is Aug. 24.

Couldn’t help thinking of our (Class of ’56) eighth-grade situation. Girls sports, even for talent such as the late Linda Bergsten, a basketball wiz, were nonexistent. The square block old red Haines didn’t even have a gym.

The high school coach, no Lombardi to be sure, didn’t seem to care whether the boys won or lost. The Wredling leader, coach McPeak, appears to have an open mind and open heart.

Speaking of Lombardi, you may know that my Badgers open against LSU in a game to be played at Lambeau Field in Green Bay – pretty much a home game. We have given up my season tickets, although there were excellent handicapped accommodations at Camp Randall. Will miss

the cheese curds, too.

Now there will be the search for the broadcast site, just as in the dial-around looking for the Cubbies.

Maybe I’ll make it to a Wredling game?

Haven’t heard back about any other family reunions.

Although one of Mister Z’s cousins called about some issues with bats. She reports that her dad, Chuck Thompson, will soon reach his 100-year milestone.

Happy birthday, uncle Chuckle!

OUR VIEW

Summer’s end leads to prep football season The days are starting to get (slightly) shorter; the nights are (barely) getting cooler; and the first day of school is just around the corner. That means high school football is about to kick off.

Friday nights will soon be a busy time for high school football players, fans, coaches, band members, cheerleaders and concession stand workers.

The ultimate goal for any team is to reach the state championship game and win a state title, but there is much more to the football season than wins and losses. Under the guise of football, communities come together for the greater good.

At Batavia, the 2016 football season will be an especially exciting one as Bulldog Stadium will have a new look with a synthetic turf field. Beneficial for the football program and a boon for the community, the field is a physical display of what can be achieved with teamwork.

Initially seen as a contentious proposition by some, the money to pay for the field is largely being gathered through fundraising by the Batavia Bulldog Boosters.

Geneva added synthetic turf to its Burgess Field years ago, the first Tri-Cities team to do so, and it won’t have to wait long to play on the newest turf field. The Vikings travel to Batavia on Sept. 23 for the next showdown in the long-running rivalry. As usual, fans should expect a well-played game and an electric atmosphere.

This football season will see another chapter in the Kick-A-Thon fundraiser when St. Charles East crosses the river to play St. Charles North on Sept. 16. Started in 1994 as a fundraiser for the St. Charles High School drill team, the Kick-A-Thon has since raised nearly $900,000 for the American Cancer Society, LivingWell Cancer Resource Center and Fox Valley Food For Health. A solid fundraising campaign this year could send the Kick-A-Thon over $1 million in donations.

Kaneland will host its Knights Under the Lights event Aug. 22 at Peterson Field. Fall, winter and spring athletes from the high school and middle school will have a chance to mingle, meet coaches and be part of an athlete parade led by the KHS marching band.

As athletes are learning the plays, cheerleaders are perfecting their routines and marching bands are putting the finishing touches on their halftime shows, fans can get the info on their favorite teams with the Kane County Chronicle’s football preview section Aug. 25.

St. Louis: Gateway to the West Last week, my family and I THE WRITE embarked on a three-day trip to PLACE St. Louis, Mo. We wanted to do Emma some final summer activities together before all the hustle and Chrusciel bustle of the school year started night. In the morning, we were up. After piling ourselves and our luggage into the minivan, we off to St. Louis for a full but fun day of activities in the city. departed for our destination.

What better way to start off the Our first stop was Bishop Hill, day than by going up in the iconic Ill., a small Swedish settlement that my parents had visited years Gateway Arch? Our family of six crammed into a spaceship-like ago. The tiny town looked like something out of an old-fashioned pod to make our journey to the top.

We ate dinner at a restaurant Our time at the City Museum downtown and enjoyed some ice was followed by a trip to Ted cream before settling in for the

Drewes Frozen Custard, where I enjoyed a Heath bar-flavored “concrete” (think Dairy Queen Blizzard, but better). The shop is known for its tasty treats and celebrity visitors, including Bob Costas – who my dad actually met there years ago – and the Jonas brothers. It definitely earned high marks from me and my taste buds!

We wrapped up our time in St. Louis by visiting Washington University, my dad’s alma mater. As an incoming junior in high school, touring colleges is becoming more interesting and important. Despite this not being an official college visit, the brief look around gave me a lot to think about.

My family’s mini vacation was the perfect way to cap off the summer before the chaos of the school year begins. From visiting small towns to touring American monuments, I wholeheartedly enjoyed my time away.

Improvements and work ahead

To the Editor: In the “Sound Off” column dated July 14, 2016, a comment was made regarding the improved landscaping done at The Oaks of St. Charles. We greatly appreciate the kind words and thank you for noticing. We would like to expand on other projects that have been accomplished in our own town home community.

Beginning in 2014, we installed an underground storm sewer system.

Because of the extensive construction that would occur, we chose to enhance our grounds. We have replaced sidewalks, street lighting, driveways, fencing, street and landscaping throughout. This was a $2 million project.

Because of the improvements to our community, real estate values have improved. We take great pride in what we have accomplished. We still have work ahead with continuing landscaping and other ongoing projects, including painting.

Come take a look for yourselves and see what a gem we have in St. Charles.

Our office hours are 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday and Friday.

If I were dying on the street, Mr. Trump would help. President Obama would have his nose in the air and not bother to look at me. As a matter of fact, he would step over me. His administration is destroying this once great nation. Why isn’t President Obama embarrassed? Because his nose is in the air. He cares more about his birthday party than answering questions in a press conference. Why does anyone like him? Hillary Clinton wants to continue President Obama’s policies. Is she crazy? Her supporters are not informed.

If they want to read the real news, check websites like the Drudge Report, Michael Savage, Walsh Freedom, etc.

You will be shocked to read things that you do not see on the evening news.

To the Editor: “I ransack public libraries and find them full of sunk[en] treasure.”

Given the number of times I’ve come across literary chests of gold in the Geneva Public Library, I could have said that. British novelist Virginia Woolf, unfortunately, beat me to it.

I love browsing the “newly arrived” hardbacks and paperbacks, recorded books, music CDs and DVDs; the younger crowd goes for video games and treasures the kids flock to downstairs (where I used to go with my now-grown children). Our library is also the best place for past books, movies and music to revisit or meet the first time.

Given the mountain of new material created daily, however, Geneva’s library can no longer give its patrons what they deserve. Lacking space, essential works get jettisoned; imagine Noah’s dilemma if the ark sprang a leak and began sinking: Which species to jettison?

The question is, do we allow our library [to] do its thing the way it should be done in the new millennium?

Do we build a new library on the Sixth Street site the library board recently purchased, or let the present building suffer in its geriatric state?

Further costly renovations won’t work due to infrastructure issues. And, because [it is] landlocked; building out is not an option. Operational costs due to age and layout are astronomical; if human, the elevator, along with the heating and air-conditioning systems, would be on life support, pleading to have the plug pulled.

The new site could offer more parking, storage, technology and meeting rooms. We could enjoy drive-up dropoff, eating areas, teen spaces and much more.

You may object, thinking many books and reference materials can be accessed online. Oh, ye of little imagination! A library is more than a storage facility. Walk into a newly designed library like Elgin’s Gail Borden, and you’ll feel an exhilaration as palpable as the divine when entering Notre Dame.

In fact, Genevans go to their library in droves! Last year, 3,458 joined reading clubs; 24,000 participated in programs; computer logins topped 15,000; over 600,000 items were checked out; monthly visits averaged 22,000; and, of some 22,000 residents, nearly 17,000 own library cards.

SUGAR GROVE – During the summer months, a core group of Sugar Grove United Methodist Church members gather at an outdoor place of worship, the future site of the church on Harter Road.

The worship site is adjacent to a cornfield. Member Rick Wojack said he has seen deer venturing out from among the cornstalks, and – in spring – he has seen pheasants and hawks in flight.

A number of references to nature are sprinkled in among the prayers and hymns of the service, including a Bible verse on the worship folder from Isiah. “… You shall go out in joy and be led back in peace … and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”

The Rev. Sharon Rice, minister of children and youth, said the worship space on Harter Road is smaller than that of the church sanctuary.

“We’re closer to one another here,” she said. “It’s a more intimate feeling here.”

The church began to use the site, bought in 2001, for worship in 2005. At that time, services were held in a clearing.

People brought their own lawn chairs before Boy Scout Troop 41 made benches for seating.

Constructing the altar was an Eagle Scout project, as was the creation of a prayer path – a trail with scripture and questions for contemplation on sign posts as one follows the path down near Blackberry Creek.

The self-guided prayer path, open to the community, allows people to explore and discover the property. It provides a way for them to walk and meditate among the trees, in the farm field or along the creek.

Boy Scout Troop 41, which has a long-standing relationship with the church, has contributed in numerous ways toward enhancing the site, including participating in cleanup dates and a prairie burn.

Church member Tom

Brouch built the pavilion, an open wooden shelter where Sunday services are currently held, in 2009. Dedicated to his sister, Cathy Brouch Krol, who passed away in 2006, the Brouch family commissioned the pavilion to the church during the 2009 season.

About a half-dozen volunteers help mow parts of the property to keep it walkable and manageable. Currently, the majority of the property is still in cornfields.

The original plans for the 40-acre site at 4S633 Harter Road, about three-quarters of a mile west of Route 47, called for a church building, a parsonage, space for a youth camp, a baseball field and parking for a growing population.

When the economy faltered and development stalled, plans were on hold for a time, although the congregation is still raising money for the future.

“There is still the hope that they will build something here,” Rice said.

In addition to Sunday services, the congregation gathers on the property for other occasions as well, including outdoor youth rock concerts, movie nights, an all-church picnic and other social gatherings.

“This is kind of its own oasis,” Wojack said.

Rice said the church’s youth group camp out will take place on the property the weekend of Aug. 20, with hot dogs and games, s’mores and an overnight. The Boy Scout troop also hosts camping overnights there at least twice a year.

“Some people seek God in nature,” the Rev. Cheoneui Oh said. “This is perfect for them.”

The second Sunday worship service is held at 9:30 am in the church sanctuary at 176 Main St. in Sugar Grove.

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com BLACKBERRY TOWNSHIP – Shodeen Group Senior Vice President Dave Patzelt gave a presentation Aug. 9 at the Blackberry Township Board meeting inviting the township to join his company and the village of Elburn in the development of several parks within Elburn Station.

“I had made a request to the [Elburn Village Board] about whether they had an objection if we asked a third partner to come along to make it a 33-3333 split,” Patzelt said. “The village said to certainly go ahead and see if the township is interested, and that’s why I’m here with you.”

Amenities that could be included in the development include several soccer fields of different sizes that also

could be used for football and lacrosse, as well as playground areas that could feature swingsets, jungle gyms and other similar equipment.

The township was not given a deadline to make a decision on whether or not they will participate, but Patzelt said that grants have to be applied for before Jan. 1.

“Due to the budget crisis, no grants have been awarded, but that doesn’t mean there will not be any grants to come,” Patzelt said. “Once the budget crisis is resolved, I would hope for grants to be back.”

Patzelt provided details about the Mill Creek development in Geneva as an example of what could ultimately be created within the Elburn Station development.

The public’s response was mixed. At least one person questioned why the township would get involved in such a development when two parties have already agreed to do it.

A couple of other residents expressed their excitement about such a potential part-

nership but said that stemmed primarily from their negative feelings about a separate large sports complex development proposal at McNair II that they questioned during the July 12 township meeting.

Kane County Commissioner Drew Frasz said he had been contacted by a number of sports groups about the need for sports fields but voiced his concerns about the approval of this development disturbing plans for McNair II. “If this is proposed as an either-or [deal,] it’s going to be tough for me to go back to the board since we have 60 acres of flat, treeless land now being thrown back at us,” he said. “If it’s an either-or deal, I’m very concerned about that.”

The next step is for the township to decide whether or not it wishes to join Shodeen and the village of Elburn in the Elburn Station development.

Whether or not the township would change its plans for McNair II if it decides to join in this partnership was not disclosed at the meeting.

Sugar Grove Chamber celebrates 25 years

By VIOLET MARQUARDT editorial@kcchronicle.com SUGAR GROVE – Founded in June 1991, the Sugar Grove Chamber of Commerce began with the vision to unite local businesses of Sugar Grove, all while providing helpful resources to allow the businesses to flourish and grow.

Originally, the chamber was volunteer-run, with only a board of directors.

That same chamber is now celebrating its 25th anniversary, having grown beyond volunteers to paid staffers committed to serving the local business community.

Although the chamber is a success now, boasting about 90 members, that hasn’t always been the case.

“It’s been a struggle just because of the downturn of the economy,” past president Steve Ekker said. “A lot of businesses have had to close their doors or downsize. It’s been tough. We’ve tried to provide some alternative events to entice existing members to stay and new members to join.”

If you go n WHAT: Sugar Grove Cham-

ber of Commerce’s 25th anniversary celebration n WHEN: 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 22 n WHERE: Old Second Bank of Sugar Grove, 92 Frontage Road n INFO: jlink@oldsecond.com The benefits for a local business to join the chamber are innumerable, Ekker said, adding that each business receives a “tremendous wealth of information” and benefit through the chamber’s various events, meetings and more.

“There’s all kinds of benefits – it depends what you’re looking to get out of the chamber; you will get out of the chamber what you put in,” he said. “... If you attend the monthly luncheons, you’ll be able to market to other businesses [and] learn from the other speakers. There’s all kinds of opportunities to socialize.”

Ekker said the chamber

has been working in recent years to come up with new ways to support and foster local businesses. By doing so, the organization hopes to be a better resource for the local businesses and also hopes to promote additional growth in the Sugar Grove community, he said.

“President Sally McClellan is doing a fantastic job of moving the chamber forward into uncharted territories, like [creating] an ambassador group to welcome new businesses to the area, a women’s focus group … things we have never done before,” Ekker said.

Old Second Bank of Sugar Grove, 92 Frontage Road, is helping to sponsor the chamber’s 25th anniversary celebration, which will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 22. There will be a raffle, food, drinks and networking. Email jlink@oldsecond.com for information or to register.

“Old Second was very supportive,” Executive Director Shari Baum said. “They wanted to be supportive in recognizing our history.”

Church worships outside during warmer months

Shodeen pitches township board

What organisms are in your backyard?

Take a little trip back in time with me, please: It’s mid-February. The temperature has been below freezing for weeks, and snow covers the landscape. I take my Biology 122 students at Waubonsee Community College out to collect samples from Blackberry Creek. Amid the grumbling about the cold, students wonder at how anything could still be alive in these conditions.

But we are looking at this from a human perspective.

We traipse out to the far north edge of the Sugar Grove Campus, crack through the ice in Blackberry Creek, and an insulated, living world is seen beneath the surface. Just because we need parkas, hats and gloves, doesn’t mean invertebrates do. They can survive out here year-round.

It’s not just their survival in extreme temperatures that is remarkable, but their ability to survive the pollutants that wash in from agricultural fields, from salt-covered winter

WAUBONSEE VOICES Dani DuCharme roads in the suburbs, and from urban development. This is a unique body of water, and a unique set of organisms that inhabit it. And we probably take it for granted.

If you live north of the college, you cross Blackberry Creek on Route 47 every day on your commute. It snakes through the communities of Elburn, Kaneville, Sugar Grove, Aurora, Montgomery and Yorkville. It dictates our watershed – the entire region draining into this body of water. It is an amazing ecosystem.

So what lies just underneath the surface. What story do they tell? Dip in an aquatic net, and you will find what look like tiny shrimp scuttling around. They are a tiny crustacean that flourish in water with few fish predators.

They can withstand some

of the most polluted water conditions. You might also see a tiny, red worm. This is called a bloodworm, and is a larva of a fly called a midge, which you probably walk through clouds of on a walk at dusk by your local retention pond. Lots of bloodworms – and little else – is also a sign of polluted water.

You have a good chance of also coming across two jewels – a water scorpion and a dragonfly larva. A water scorpion looks like a 3-inch stick insect that has lost its way. What you will also notice is its long front arms, which are perfect for a water predator. As for the dragonfly – did you know that their offspring live in the water? This is a brilliant evolutionary strategy, keeping parents and offspring from competing for precious resources. Like the adult, these babies are agile hunters, trapping prey in their scoop-like mandibles.

What story does this net full of living things from your backyard creek tell?

Well, more predators means a healthy aquatic ecosystem, because if the ecosystem can support a predator, it is healthy enough to provide for the prey items it feeds on. But an abundance of organisms that thrive in stagnant water, feeding on decaying plant matter isn’t a good sign. In Blackberry Creek, we have a mixture of both, with water quality somewhere between pristine and not.

So next time you are walking near Blackberry Creek, think about what lies under the surface, and how they can dictate whether you should take a sip, or pass.

RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2016

Alvin Toffler, a writer about modern technologies who died in June, said, “It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution.”

At the bridge table, that is usually right, but not always. Look at the auction in today’s deal. What would you have done differently? What is the par result, the contract that gives the best-possible score to each side?

The final contract of two notrump did not go well. After West unimaginatively led fourth-highest from his longest and strongest, South cashed out for down one, taking one spade, one diamond and five clubs.

North-South can make one notrump, and South can succeed in two clubs. (Two clubs by North fails after the spade-jack lead. East ruffs the third round of the suit with his club jack and shifts to the diamond queen.) But West can make two spades (with an overtrick if the defenders do not play trumps quickly enough to stop a club ruff in the East hand) for plus 110 (or 140). So the par contract is two no-trump doubled

by North-South or three clubs doubled by South, which would be minus 100.

South should respond one notrump. It is a slight underbid, but better than two clubs (or the weird two diamonds). Then, whatever West does, North passes. If you use twoover-one, South bids one no-trump, and, if West passes, North rebids two clubs (natural, or a three-card suit in a minimum balanced hand). After that, South can raise to three clubs to invite game. If West intervenes with two spades, which is highly likely, North passes, and South might well do likewise.

TEE TIME Boys and girls golfers ready to take first shots on road to state riches / 2

Kaneland freshman Will Marshall was the Kane County Chronicle Boys Golfer of the Year for 2015. He returns for the Knights this season as they look to lock up a team state berth.

were at the beginning and hopefully give some the opportunity to play in sectionals,” he said.

An Aug. 31 dual meet against Richmond Burton and the Elgin Country Club tournament Sept. 19 will be two of the bigger dates on the schedule.

By SKIP STOLLEY editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland High School’s boys golf team has high expectations for the 2016 season – and rightly so.

The Knights finished the 2015 season with a 6-3 record and a late-season tournament win before capturing an IHSA regional title. At the sectional, they just missed qualifying for the state tournament, losing a third-place tiebreaker to Vernon Hills.

Will Marshall and Brett Glennon qualified for the state tourney as individuals, and Marshall placed fourth with a 36-hole score of 147 – the highest state tournament finish by a Kaneland golfer since 2002.

The Knights have five of their top six golfers back from last season, led by sophomore Marshall and seniors Glennon and Jake Hed. “High school golf is a team sport, and my goal is to get the state tournament this year as a team,” Marshall said. “We have a great core back with Jake, Brett and I, but I think the biggest surprise may be [senior] Jacob Milton. He’s really improved and shot a 72 today at our tryouts.”

With so much talent in the lineup, Kaneland coach Mark Meyer is looking forward to seeing what his team can accomplish this season.

“We are really deep with talent this year and excited about our prospects for a great season,” Meyer said. “Winning the Northern Illinois Big-12 conference title, advancing to the IHSA sectional tournament and qualifying as a team for the state championships are always among our top goals.”

Golf is the first fall sport to have contested matches. The Knights’ season began with the Plainfield North tournament Aug. 15 – just five days after team tryouts. The Knights will have played four matches before the first day of school Aug. 24.

“We always front-load our schedule with some of the state’s top tournaments so we can learn right away what our weaknesses are and what we need to work on as the season progresses,” Meyer said.

ifier, is one of five golfers from last year’s postseason roster who are returning. Divito, Lomas, Power and Souvigny also return to a squad that dropped just two duals and advanced to the sectional tournament.

All that returning talent has the Rockets thinking big.

“We always start off aiming for a conference tournament title. With the move to a new conference, that goal remains unchanged,” Davies said. “Outside of winning a major tournament, which obviously would be terrific, we aim for a top-three finish. It serves as a fine test for regional and sectional play. With six straight teams [at the school] earning a sectional qualifier spot, I’d be lying if I didn’t set that as a goal.”

Sherman, who could become the school’s first four-time state qualifier, leads the way. Divito has progressed each season and was on the cusp of being a state qualifier last year.

“Experience and depth lead our strengths,” Davies said. “Our top five players were juniors last year and received great exposure to a wide variety of tournaments.”

St. Charles East Saints Coach: John Stock Conference: Upstate Eight

Outlook: Stock has taken seven teams

to the state tournament in his 16 seasons as St. Charles East coach. State berth No. 7 might be on its way this fall.

With Bertke and Buetow, the Saints have golfers who qualified for the state tournament two years ago and last season, respectively. Meadows and King were the top two finishers in tryouts, and McDonald and Meadows were varsity players last year. Black, Cook and Downing round out the top eight.

“We hope the kids get better by the end of September heading into the postseason. You don’t want to peak in August,” Stock said. “We’ll see what happens. We are always optimistic.”

competitive.

“It will be a great opportunity for us to sneak up on some teams and beat them,” Kauffmann said. “We have a lot of girls on this team that on any given day can shoot low scores, so it will be interesting to see who competes on a daily basis.”

In conference, both St. Charles East and St. Charles North return much of the talent that got both teams to the state tournament, and rival Geneva is always tough. Facing those schools will help Batavia get ready for the rigors of the postseason.

“Our whole conference is full of great teams, so it will be exciting to see where we fit in with the best of them,” Kauffmann said. “All I ask of my girls is to compete, and if we do that I think we can hang with the best teams in our conference.”

“[We] stress teamwork and continue working towards achieving team goals,” Ross said. “[We want to] improve our position at the conference tournament and work towards qualifying [the] team to state.”

Lillibridge and Fioresi, two all-conference players last season, return, as does 2015 team captain Flatt. Newcomer Frick and returning varsity player Segebrecht add to the Vikings’ talent.

“Darby Lillibridge is continuing to play impressive rounds and has the best average on the team,” Ross said. “Kendal Fioresi has an incredible work ethic, and it is going to pay off big this year.”

of the six players who helped them qualify for the 2015 state tournament: Bundy, Gaffney, Jordan and Sullivan.

That quartet is just the surface of the depth Osborne has this season.

“Our biggest strength is our depth,” he said. “From positions one to eight we have players who can score from the mid 40s to high 30s for nine holes.”

In addition to the postseason success (ninth in the state), East went 12-3

All six golfers who were on the postseason roster a year ago – Arnold, Furrie, Furtney, Hayes, Lillie and Stanton – return. Katelyn David, a sophomore who was the junior varsity MVP last year, adds to the overall depth. “[Our] strength comes from our experience,” Whalen said. “We are a young team, but six of our seven varsity members played at the state tournament last fall. We are very excited to see how the season plays out.”

4 Q&A

Soccer-to-football switch a success story for Davis

St. Charles North graduate walks on as Penn State kicker

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com Tyler Davis pulled a Tim Tebow well before Tebow himself.

Tebow, the former University of Florida quarterback who spent parts of six seasons in the NFL, recently announced his intention to try playing professional baseball.

Davis started his collegiate athletic career as a soccer player at Bradley University before making the drastic switch to football, but the change of pace is paying off.

Davis walked on at Penn State in 2014 and, after sitting out that season, played extensively as a kicker last season, his first in a helmet and pads. The St. Charles North graduate did not miss a kick, going 8-for-8 on field goals and 11-of11 on extra points.

As he prepped for his redshirt junior season, Davis recently took time to speak with sports editor Jason Rossi about his switch to football, the challenges that came with it, and his thoughts on the Nittany Lions’ upcoming season.

Rossi: How did you decide to make the switch to football?

Davis: It was something that was on my mind. I wanted to go to a bigger school and I always thought of transferring from Bradley. I had a friend who was a kicker and he said, ‘You’re really good at kicking.’ I won a camp and then won another one. I started getting recruited a little bit so I decided to pursue that.

Rossi: Did anyone help get you to the level you’re at now?

Davis: Chris Nendick [former NIU kicker] helped me get to where I am. He’s the best kicking coach in the Chicago area. I still talk to him and send him my film.

Rossi: What has the transition to football been like?

Rossi: Is there much difference to kicking a soccer ball and a football?

Davis: Taking a free kick

HIGH SCHOOL Kaneland St. Francis Batavia St. Francis Batavia St. Charles North Marmion Academy Marmion Academy Batavia Marmion Kaneland Burlington Central Geneva Burlington Central

and kicking a field goal are different. In football you have the snap, the hold and the kick, and it has to be done in under 1.2 seconds but there are more variables involved.

You have to try to get under the ball to get it airborne, so that’s different, but a lot of my soccer has carried over.

Rossi: Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould went to Penn State. Have you ever worked with him?

Davis: Me and Robbie have texted back and forth a little bit. We [the kickers at Penn State] have kicked with him before. The coaches coordinated a time we could kick with him this summer. The Jacksonville Jaguars kicker [Penn State graduate Sam Ficken] has been amazing, too.

Rossi: What are your thoughts on the upcoming season?

Davis: I just want to get back out there and play the game and be involved however I can. I’m looking forward to running out of the tunnel and on to the Beaver Stadium field.

Memoir a labor of love

Kent Payne details father’s ALS battle

By JASON ROSSI jrossi@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – When it comes to basketball, Kent Payne knows more about the sport than most people will ever forget.

When it comes to writing a book, not so much. At least not initially.

“I started out without any frame of reference other than reading about writing a memoir,” said Payne, a St. Charles resident and the Director of Athletics and Wellness at Elgin Community College.

Though more versed in pick-and-rolls than past participles, that didn’t stop Payne from writing a memoir, “A Family’s Journey With Hoops, Life and ALS,” about his father’s bout with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and the way his family’s love of sports, particularly basketball, helped navigate a difficult situation.

“This was something I always had in the back of my head,” Payne said. “I wanted to get it all down and share the experiences of my dad’s life, his diagnosis with ALS and the effect it had on us for 17 years.”

Jim Payne was a teacher and football coach at Leyden High School who was inducted into the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1992. His induction came two years after

his diagnosis with ALS, which itself came just days after Kent and his wife, Sherry, welcomed their oldest child, Cully, to the world. Katlyn and Quinten joined the family later, but they never had a chance to see their grandfather as an athlete and hall of fame football coach.

“My kids, all they saw of my dad was a quadriplegic on life support,” Kent Payne said.

Payne said there were some initial struggles in the writing process – “The first 10 pages sounded like a book report,” he said – but then things started to come together. After starting the book about the same time Quinten was beginning his senior year at St. Charles North in 2012, he completed it in 2014.

“It took me a year and a half to do it. It kind of consumed me,” he said. “After that, I have a new-found respect for writers.”

ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which attacks motor neurons that control muscles, runs in the Payne family.

In the book, Kent Payne writes that no male from his father’s side of the family lived past

the age of 52 before him. Jim Payne’s father died from ALS when Jim was 17. Jim’s brother Mick died from the disease when Kent was 20 years old.

The book details Jim Payne’s struggles with the disease – coaching Leyden football in 1991 from a motorized scooter, being placed on a ventilator in February 1994 and living in a hospital bed in his home for 14 years until his death in 2007 – how the family dealt with those situations and how Cully, Katlyn and Quinten overcame the heartbreak to play Division I college basketball.

The book was initially released in a digital format (it is available for Amazon Kindle) before Payne did a print run through 48 Hour Books.

He wanted to write something that connected with readers, and by all accounts that is exactly what happened.

“I had a great response to it,” Payne said. “I sent it to some doctors and they gave it to their patients. I didn’t have the resources for elaborate marketing. It was all through word of mouth.”

Holly Schlesser St. Charles resident and liver donor

had a conversation about it and what it would mean for our family, but it happened so fast there was really no time to think about it and there was no way I was not going to do it.”

In addition to helping save a life, being an organ donor helped her realize something important.

“Tanya and I want to make sure people register as organ donors and to tell their families because just marking it on your driver’s license isn’t enough.” she said.

Schlesser first started competing in triathlons after a revelation. She woke up one day, realized she did not feel particularly healthy, and decided to do something about it.

Doing triathlons not only helped her get in better shape, she believes they are a large part of the reason why she was able to donate her liver.

“I truly believe racing helped me be a donor,” she said. “I lost a ton of weight, built muscle and got healthy.”

Now fully back in the swing, she is looking forward to making her Chicago Triathlon debut. An Olympic distance race (.93 miles swimming, 24.8 miles biking and 6.2 miles running), this race will be different from any other she has done.

“There’s close to 10,000 people in the race,” she said.

“I know I can do the distance, but what makes it a lot harder are there are a lot of people and you’re in the city where there’s not a lot of shade.”

ST. CHARLES – When Holly Schlesser competes in the Chicago Triathlon on Aug. 28, it won’t be the most difficult thing she has ever done.

Nothing was quite as difficult as her recovery after she donated part of her liver to a dying child.

In November 2014, the St. Charles resident donated nearly one-third of her liver to Madison Casey, the young daughter of family friend Tanya Casey.

Madison was afflicted with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. The inherited genetic condition can result in serious lung and liver complications.

Schlesser already had competed in several triathlons before her donation. The road back to competition was more difficult than she imagined.

“I was not allowed to lift anything heavy. I was basically sidelined,” said Schlesser, who lives in St. Charles with her husband, Jay, and their children Trenton, 8, Ainsley, 6, and Declan, 3.

Two weeks after the surgery in which part of her liver was removed for the donation, she told her doctors of her intention to compete in a half triathlon in April 2015.

Nearly two months later she was allowed to start working out again. Her first foray on a treadmill post-surgery was brutal, but in time her stamina came back.

“My first mile I was walking a 20-minute pace and I was hurting,” Schlesser said.

“Slowly but surely I started walking faster. Swimming helped me a lot. It helped me recover.”

Upon her return to competition her times were not up to her standard from before the surgery, but that was a welcome tradeoff for a selfless act.

“I was amazed I could be a donor,” Schlesser said. “It was kind of a no-brainer. One of your best friend’s daughter is dying. My husband and I

“I was amazed I could be a donor. It was kind of a no-brainer.

One of your best friend’s daughter is dying.”

Using lazy umpires?

Well, that’s a bad call Go ahead and try to name one guy who looks good in jorts.

You can’t.

I saw one rube umpiring baseball this summer while wearing jorts. He also was sporting a red bandana rather than a cap. He protected his pale, bare legs with shin guards, as well as his chest with a protector, which he wore over his stained white tank top. He looked a bit like actor Danny McBride, which made me laugh before I recomposed myself and realized his attire wasn’t funny at all, but totally inappropriate and sad.

Another time, I watched a base guy fiddle around with his phone during the middle of a game. He at least wore a cap, but he had it on backward, and while I understand his loyalty to the Blackhawks, that’s not the type of hat he should’ve been wearing. Maybe he was searching the internet for where to buy a proper cap? I highly doubt it.

Photos of similar umpires have been exchanged via social media, and guys who are truly dedicated to the profession are embarrassed and deeply upset about it.

Consider being qualified and skilled with, let’s say, 10 years of experience. You study the rules and you meet with your peers regularly. Plus, you’ve worked hundreds of games and are excellent at your craft. You also wear the appropriate uniform, keep it clean, show up on time and treat the game and those who play it with respect. Suddenly, some of the assignments you used to get are pulled away from you because another organization has snagged the assigning contract. You probably could work for them, but in doing so you’ll likely work with someone who doesn’t care if he gets his calls right, shows up late, is often out of position, doesn’t know rotations or signs and is dressed like he’s going to the county fair. You’ll be forced to carry him, to make him look better (good luck with that), but you’ll both receive the same paycheck.

The obvious choice is to stay away from such a scenario. I just cannot understand why some baseball associations continue to put up with such an inferior product. Those umpires make the rest of us look bad. It must come down to two things: money and a lack of skilled and ambitious umpires.

Some umpiring groups comprised of those who solely are looking for a paycheck are outbidding associations with higher standards and sending second-rate ump-inferiors to work games. Sadly, this has been going on

QUILL THE UMPIRE Chris Rollin Walker for several years now.

I get it, though. It’s actually a great gig for the ump-inferiors looking for quick and easy cash. And can you blame someone when they’re not reprimanded for not knowing the rules or dressing the part? If you were someone in their 20s and out of work, would you rather make $8.25 an hour flipping burgers at McDonald’s or about $25 an hour umpiring a game?

There are basically two tiers of umpires. You’ve got the higher-class officials who do it because of teamwork, camaraderie, brotherhood, love of the game and the challenge it presents, while making a little extra money. And you’ve got those who only do it for the paycheck.

Leagues probably will always be able to find people to umpire. Finding quality officials who are in it for far more than a paycheck and looking to do it for a number of years isn’t as easy. This spring, I pretty much received an email daily because there was always a need for trained, IHSA-patched umpires.

Where are the new, up-and-comers that we need so that we don’t endure a future shortage crisis?

Hopefully they’re reading.

“We need people who played the game and had a good experience.

Whether they won a state championship or didn’t win a game, they can be successful officials,” IHSA Assistant Executive Director Sam Knox said.

“It’s important to have officials for the next generation of kids. ... We couldn’t do what we do in Illinois without new ones and older guys mentoring them.”

Knox said there’s more of a shortage for football and wrestling officials than baseball and softball umpires, but umpire associations are stretched in the spring because of the number of rainy days and rescheduled games.

“Having been an athletic director for 13 years, I know how challenging filling those spots can be,” he said.

“We’ll always welcome new umpires.”

As long as they don’t wear jorts, their caps backward, rock mullets, etc, etc…

(Thanks for reading. See you in the spring.)

Teen ‘embodies total package’ as Jank Ambassador

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com

ST. CHARLES – St. Charles resident George Ressinger holds a title nobody else in the city has held.

The 17-year-old is the 2016 – and inaugural – St. Charles Jank ambassador. He was bestowed the Guitar of St. Charles Jank Award in a June ceremony at Lincoln Park.

The program was spearheaded by The Jank Guitar Store owner Scott Corbin, who wrote in an email that Ressinger was the most qualified nominee.

“While every nominee was incredible in many aspects on many levels, George embodies the total package,” Corbin wrote. “He represents heart, wisdom beyond his years and responsibility beyond his years all in one, which is extremely rare.”

Ressinger received a guitar decoPhotos provided rated as a plaque of honor to be given George Ressinger (second from right) is the first recipient of the Guitar of St. Charles Jank Award.

As the ambassador, the teen is expected to “live with humility, love with loyalty and work with dedication and discipline,” Corbin wrote.

Ressinger: It feels great. I’ve always

spent quite a bit of time on music. I’m proud to be able to further that. It’s a great opportunity to give back to a community I’ve gotten so much from.

SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Public Library has a new art space, Gallery 125, and organizers are looking for local artists to exhibit their work while bringing cultural enrichment to the community.

“We are excited to bring this new cultural event to the Sugar Grove community,” said Shannon Halikias, library director. “Artwork in a library not only enhances the look tremendously, but this gallery will help promote our local artists and bring the community together.”

Gallery 125 has been on the back of Halikias’ mind for a while. After some minor renovations, which included repainting a few walls and installing signage, it all came together rather quickly.

The gallery is located in the main lobby, at the front of the library. It includes two 18-foot walls (length-wise). Artists that are interested in submitting their 2-D, framed, ready-to-hang artwork must first complete a form at the library’s reference desk or online at www.sugargrove.lib.il.us. Artwork must be less than 15 pounds, and artists must be 18 years or older. Priority will be given to Sugar Grove and Kaneland-area resi-

“During this first exhibition, we will be serving Modest Coffee, wine and appetizers,” Halikias said. “We have also secured a local acoustic musician to play, and have paired the evening with the [Sugar Grove] Chamber of Commerce after-hours event.”

The library is excited to offer these exhibitions to give the community a chance to meet each of the artists and learn more about them and their artwork, Halikias said, adding that being part of the gallery is a “three to four month commitment” for each artist.

Depending on the popularity of submissions, the library hopes to have “10 to 15 pieces from one artist for several months,” Halikias said, noting that a few artists can be showcased at one time, depending on how many artists are interested.

“This is very unique for our community, and we are very excited to be able to give young artists this motivation to pursue their artistic talents and dreams through Gallery 125,” Halikias said.

“We encourage everyone who knows an artist to tell them about this wonderful opportunity so they can become more successful and the gallery can be successful.”

Call the library at 630-466-4686 for information.

‘Calendar Girls’ on tap at Geneva’s Playhouse 38 Public invited to open house at new theater

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – In its first adult performance at its new location, Playhouse 38 will present the British comedy “Calendar Girls” from Aug. 25 through 28.

The Geneva Park District moved its Playhouse 38 to 321 Stevens St. in Geneva, with a new, larger stage, more audience seating and parking.

“Calendar Girls” is based on the true story of 11 members of the Women’s Institute who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund to honor the death of a husband from the blood cancer.

“It’s a large cast of women at varying ages – the youngest is 16,” director Lisa Pivarones said. “We have a total of 14 in the cast, four men and 10 women. It’s touching, fun and humorous.”

The story starts when Annie’s husband, John, dies of leukemia, and her best friend, Chris, resolves to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room.

The idea of having them pose nude for the calendar ends up raising more money for leukemia research and launched a movie by the same name – leading to a lot of media attention in their small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales, Pivarones said.

“They go through the changes of dealing with fame,” Pivarones said. “All the attention gets spotlighted on them, how they are growing through it. It’s a fun show.”

The nudity is implied, not actual, Pivarones said.

“That was the first question everyone had as they walked into the audition,” Pivarones said. “‘I’m a schoolteacher and I can’t be naked onstage.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I don’t want you to be naked onstage.’ … The women wear costumes that imply nudity without revealing, and without them actually being nude. It is for their comfort, as well as the audience. If you see nudity, that takes away from the comedy of it.”

As was done for the actual calendar and depicted in the movie, the women pose with strategically placed props to cover them, she said.

“It’s very vaudevillian, choreographed … to music and done very quickly,” Pivarones said.

Performances will be at 7 p.m. Aug. 25, 26 and 27 and also at 5 p.m. Aug. 28.

Tickets are $15 in advance at Sunset Community Center, 710 Western Ave., Geneva, or $20 at the door. For more information, call 630- 232-4542 or visit www.genevaparks.org.

Geneva resident Autumn Burns

plays Annie, one of the lead roles. A former Geneva School District 304 Board member, Burns is also sister-in-law to Mayor Kevin Burns.

“It’s a little nerve-wracking because it’s a conversational script,” Burns said.

“We are laughing so much in rehearsal.

Everyone is trying to mimic a British accent, and I slip in and out of my Southern accent – I’m from Arkansas.”

To help with the accent, Burns said she has been watching a lot of “Downton Abbey,” a popular British television drama.

Her own husband, John Burns, is in remission from cancer.

“He’s had five straight years of clean scans,” Autumn Burns said. “We’re very, very, very blessed and thankful … he is still with me.”

Karen Brhel plays Annie’s best friend, Chris.

“The part is very fun to do,” Brhel, of Bartlett, said. “She’s definitely the life of the party. She likes to keep everything alive and fun, I’d say. She certainly does not believe in the aging process. She’s always go-go-go-go.”

The opening night performance of Photo provided “Calendar Girls” follows a grand openKaren Brhel (from left), Leslie Klappauf, Jess Smith, Autumn Burns and Jami Johnson star ing celebration for the new Playhouse in Playhouse 38’s production of ‘Calendar Girls.’ The opening-night performance on Aug. 38 at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 25. Deane’s Market 25 coincides with an open house at the new theater, 321 S. Stevens St., Geneva. & Deli will provide light refreshments, while beer and wine will also be available for purchase.

Pivarones said the expanded space is wonderful.

“It’s so nice,” Pivarones said. “I just feel so spoiled right now because of the added space we have to work with.

It makes everyone breathe easier to have space to move around. I can have a scene in front of the closed curtain; I can change it up quite a bit more. And in this particular show, there are a lot of costume changes, and now we have space to do that back stage.”

Burns agreed, saying it is exciting to work in the new, expanded theater space.

“The space is wonderful,” Burns said. “It’s a bigger back stage, so we can change clothes between scenes. The Geneva Park District did a great job, so kudos to them for sure.”

Geneva Park District Executive Director Sheavoun Lambillotte wrote in an email that space for the audience has been expanded to accommodate 100 per performance and the base structure is Americans with Disabilities Act accessible.

“We now have the space to accommodate performance prep areas – green room – concession sales, and have improved sound and lighting,” Lambillotte’s email stated. “This new location allows us to meet the community’s needs and expand our cultural arts program offerings without our previous space SM-CL0358254 limitations.”

Don’t thank me, thank the ‘Old Neighborhood’ BACKSTAGE QUESTIONS WITH ...

Ron Onesti on WLS in 1963, always had at least one, if not more, “mop-top” tunes on his daily playlist. From Biondi’s onair into of the band’s first American hit, “Please, Please Me, to his live introduction of them and The Rolling Stones at California’s Hollywood Bowl, Biondi can be credited with truly fostering Paul, George, John and Ringo’s respective careers. He really caused Chicago to become one of The Beatle’s biggest markets, and why I have always been a Fab-Four fanatic.

So I wanted “Ringo bangs” when I went to the local barber. He had no idea what I meant, but he would cut my hair in that style anyway because of what we used to call a “soup bowl on your head-haircut.” My mom used to do that, too, but she would Scotch tape my hair straight across my forehead so her trims were straight.

It sounds weird, but that’s how it was done back then.

My dad’s barber was a little Italian

guy, who looked a lot like Mayberry’s Floyd the Barber, mainly because of the pencil-thin moustaches most barbers had at the time. He would always have Sinatra music on, he and my dad often breaking out into song during the rapid-fire snipping of his bright chrome scissors in my ears.

He would put this wooden plank with a cigar box taped to it across the arms of his barber chair as a booster seat for me. I was mesmerized by the red and white stripes revolving around the barber pole outside the window and could never understand why his long, black combs were kept in a jar of light green water. The worst part was that he was constantly yanking at my shoulder and telling me to, “Sit up straight!” Then, that blast of white powder on the back of my neck with his wood-handled brush would cause a cloud above my head and make me smell like my baby brother after a diaper changing. But between him and my dad, I was a budding Sinatra fan in training.

I had a bunch of crazy-fun aunts, too. They all got together on Sundays, making pots and pots of meatballs, neckbones, sausage and gravy.

See BACKSTAGE, page 8

IS YOUR CENTRAL VISION BLURRY OR CROOKED?

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

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

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

It is no secret that I am an Italian American, and a proud one at that. I was born on Taylor Street in Chicago’s “Little Italy.” Being a child of the early ‘60s, I was fortunate enough to have experienced much of the music from the ‘60s and ‘70s, now referred to as “heritage rock” and “classic rock.” But how I was really lucky was the fact that I had tons of cousins who absolutely loved music. They were all a few years older than me, so I was exposed to the popular music of the time the way a teenager would, even though I was only 10.

My dad had the tailor shop in the neighborhood. It was located on Western Avenue at Taylor Street, which was the center of our local world. He was so good natured and a truly fun guy. So everybody would hang in – and in front of – his shop. He loved to listen to Cubs games on his AM radio. He ALWAYS had his AM radio on, but when the ballgame wasn’t on, it was flipped from WLS to WCFL, from Larry Lujack to Dick Biondi.

Top 40 music was all over the place! It wasn’t as much Elvis as it was The Beatles. The “Wild I-Tralian” Dick Biondi, who by his own account broke The Beatles in the U.S.

BATAVIA – Thanks to a rained-out show in mid-June, summer’s outdoor concert season in Batavia will enjoy a lingering last hurrah with an appearance by the band Soda from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 24, preceded by a special event for Pokémon fans.

The Batavia Park District has corralled a Pokémon meet-up from 5 to 7 p.m.

“We think there are around 12 Pokémon Stops at the Riverwalk,” said Kari Felkamp, marketing director for the Batavia Park District. “We’ll be having some giveaways. It’s been so active at the Riverwalk [with] families down there playing.”

She said the district will set up a table where people can sign up to enter drawings. Updates will be posted to the district’s website and Facebook page.

“We are going to do lure modules; it attracts all the Pokémon characters, so it’s easier to catch them,” Felkamp said of the meet-up.

She added the district is grateful the band could reschedule after the June 22 concert was canceled because of the streak of bad weather that repeatedly threatened the free Wednesday night shows presented by the district and Batavia Rotary Club.

• BACKSTAGE Continued from page 7 They had to make more than one pot because one was actually for dinner, and one was to be eaten during the cooking process. All my guy cousins would come into the house, rip off the heel from the crusty loaves of bread destined for the afternoon meal, and dip them into the “working” pot, while sticking forks into the treasured concoction, only to pull out a meatball or two and eat them ice cream bar-style, as they were being chased out of the kitchen.

Those nights turned into mayhem, because after dinner, all my girl cousins and aunts poised themselves in front of the black-and-white television set preparing for “his” arrival. Yes, it was that hunk from Wales, Tom Jones. They would all scream throughout the “Tom Jones Show,” so much so that we could barely hear his swivel-hipped version of “It’s Not Unusual” or “Delilah.” But because of those nights, I became a huge fan of the musical variety shows, including “Sonny & Cher,” “Carol Burnett,” “Ed Sullivan” and so many others. I thank my screaming aunts and cousins for this appreciation.

We were outside 12 hours a day, entering unlocked door after unlocked door of my friends’ houses. I would hang with my older guy cousins, who taught me so much about music. As they hung

in the local watermelon/beef stand, they would all be trying to hit those high, Four Seasons notes, with ear-bleeding renditions of “Big Girls Don’t Cry” that I fondly recalled with the emergence of the musical “Jersey Boys.” I forgot how much of a Four Seasons fan I was until the musical came out. I have since seen it over 20 times. I’m a huge fan of those cool pop tunes, thanks to the guys in my old neighborhood.

My career in music has been a wild one. My roster at The Arcada will dictate my love for a wide variety of music. From the Glenn Miller Orchestra to Bret Michaels of Poison, to Engelbert Humperdinck and Foreigner, every week is an adventure as to not which genre of music we will feature, but how many will be presented. Many people who attend the shows have expressed their appreciation for what we are doing at The Arcada, keeping “live” music alive and bringing the bands of their youth to their back yard. I appreciate the kind words, but it’s my old Italian neighborhood that deserves the thanks.

Appetizers broadcast southern hospitality Southern hospitality is well documented. But as Dallas-based food writer Denise Gee makes abundantly clear in her latest cookbook, “Southern Appetizers” (Chronicle), an excellent measure of said hospitality is often gaged by the nibbles hosts put out for their guests’ consumption.

Southerners, it turns out, are smitten by appetizers of all kinds.

Gee, who grew up in Natchez, Miss., confides in the book’s introduction that no matter how much she appreciates the congenial atmosphere of a well-laid-out buffet table “these days I rarely see such over-the-top grandeur” – even though the intent to impress lives on.

GENEVA – Truffle, fennel and other appetite teasers lend culinary panache to the star-billed attraction at The Burger Local in Geneva, which enjoys a strong supporting cast of salads, tacos and other fare.

A lively, spacious dining room and bar occupy a glass-corner space next to the downtown parking deck east of the train station. Plank walls and darkly dramatic chandeliers help create the urban chic vibe, and the soaring ceiling moderates sound levels even in a packed house. Attractive constellations of flat-screens tuned silently to multiple channels let us enjoy Olympic action as we dined.

On a late Saturday afternoon, people already were beginning to fill the eatery. We opted for a window-side, high-top table. The gauzy-curtain-softened view opened onto the patio dining shaded by umbrellas.

Knowing we’d give into our pie cravings for dessert, we managed to resist appetizers including deviled eggs with lump lobster, bacon, micro cilantro and homemade hot sauce, as well as the in-house pierogis prepared with potato and caramelized onion or sauerkraut and pan fried in sage butter. Another lure was the mac n’ cheese available in its glorious basics or with an array of options to dress it up with everything from pesto to shrimp and pork belly.

The emphasis on local ingredients is touted on the website, with the beef sourced from cattle raised in Illinois and Iowa, and processed in DeKalb.

It may be difficult to think about gardening for the fall while you are still battling the effects of the hot summer we have had this year. You may feel like you are just trying to keep plants alive! Even the most passionate gardeners tend to become a little fatigued at this point with constant demands to water, deadhead and ward off pests and diseases. However, if you plan to have fall vegetables, it is time to start planning now.

If you are like me and don’t think about fall planting until the temperatures start to drop, you can plant seeds for kohlrabi, leaf lettuce, mustard, turnip and winter radish from Aug. 15 to 24. Leaf lettuce, mustard, spinach and spring radish can be seeded as late as mid-August to mid-September. If you go beyond this time interval, put a reminder on your calendar for next year!

vegetables sweeter. Row covers and cold frames will extend your growing season even more by holding in the heat from the sun during cooler nights.

I especially like broccoli and lettuce as cool weather crops. If I can save them from the hungry rabbits, they are much better tasting than spring crops.

In addition, it’s great to have fresh vegetables at the end of the season before winter sets in.

Other cool weather crops include Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, turnips, collards, peas, radish, kale, Swiss chard and spinach. If you select a green bean with a short maturation time (50 to 60 days), it will produce before temperatures become too low.

“I’m sitting here listening to the cricket while the dogs bark because we put them in Zoe’s room so they wouldn’t drink the molasses water,” she said. Yeah. Never in our wildest dreams, once we learned we were to be parents, did such absurd scenarios seem possible! But there’s never a dull moment for a parent, no matter

the species. It’s no wonder I can’t stay awake once I finally flop onto the couch, no matter the spectacle on TV. Yesterday my weariness got the best of me, though, and I executed my fantastic flop several hours early, at Starved Rock State Park. Sadly, it was nothing as spectacular as a close call in one of the canyons. No, I fell uphill. And not even up a real hill, for Pete’s sake. Up some stairs, actually.

(Indeed, I tripped on my Tevas as I headed into the lodge in search of a ladies room. And that was before the long trek to St. Louis Canyon in the 90-degree weather.) In my defense, I stumbled in style.

“Your toes were pointed,” Holly volunteered hours later, as we laughed about it over dinner with Noah and their friends in the lodge. (Of course they were. Once a gymnast always a gymnast, right?) And my fantastic flop wasn’t a total loss. Seems I got a great workout in the process. (This I

know because my abs are killing me this morning). So what if I fell asleep on the couch again? But last night, I missed it all. Every single thing. I’d thought it was the ladies’ gymnastics individual event finals in Rio that I’d missed, or maybe the all-around, but no matter, I wanted to watch it. Holly was so disgusted with me I figured she’d make me Google the results, so I looked it up this morning and learned that I hadn’t missed the ladies at all (seems the men competed last night).

The time for redemption is nigh!

“Achooo!” Oh man. That hurt. But still, an impressive sneeze, as usual.

I’ve still got it. “A perfect 10!” I called to Holly downstairs. I can feel the eye roll from here.

The Olympics is so much work.

Seriously, it’s all I can do to keep my eyes open.

“Mom, wake up!” my daughter implored. I’d missed another of Michael Phelps’ golden moments, and she was not impressed.

No offense to the athletes, who’ve worked their entire lives for these moments, but, wow, by the time their fantastic feats are aired on television, it’s way past my bedtime. In my defense, I have good reason for my weariness, including Mr. Posey’s recent stint at the emergency veterinary hospital, where he convalesced following an apparent grass overdose.

Yes, the little bugger evaded us once more. This time things were touch and go, though, and he came *this* close to requiring surgery. ’Twas a long night.

(I remain on the lookout for a massive poop to paw through, to confirm my suspicions. Fur babies are fun, too!)

18 Follow steps to avoid COPD flare-up Dear Dr. K: I have COPD. What can I do to

avoid symptom flare-ups?

Dear Reader: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is a long-term condition that makes breathing difficult. Breathing is a lot easier if you take your medicine and do any other therapy as directed.

Several types of medicines reduce the risk of flare-ups. Inhaled corticosteroids that reduce inflammation in the breathing tubes are one kind. Long-acting bronchodilators (BRONK-o-DIAL-a-tors) that keep the breathing tubes wide are another kind. A third kind are long-acting anticholinergics (AN-tieKOLE-in-ER-jicks), which also act to keep the breathing tubes wide.

Other types of medicines are used to treat flare-ups. These include bronchodilator and anticholinergic drugs that act rapidly and do not last as long as the drugs used to reduce the risk of flare-ups.

Besides using the medicines as prescribed, there are other important things you can do to avoid symptom flare-ups: PREVENT RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS. Sudden worsening of COPD often is triggered by a respiratory infection. Any respiratory infection -- even a common cold -- can cause a flare-up.

Do whatever you can to avoid catching whatever is going around. That includes: • Washing your hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers.

• Staying away from people who have colds or other respiratory infections.

• Getting a flu shot every year.

• Getting vaccinated against pneumonia as needed.

You may also benefit from an antiviral medication, such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu), for reducing your risk of getting influenza during flu season. An antiviral medication can help speed the resolution of the flu, if you get it. And this, in turn, reduces your risk of a flare-up of COPD.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff There is one flu medicine that you should not use, however: zanamivir (Relenza), an inhaled powder antiviral. The powder can irritate the lungs of a person with COPD. EXERCISE REGULARLY. Aerobic exercise, which increases heart rate and breathing rate, is the most beneficial. Examples include walking and swimming. If you want something less aerobically challenging, try yoga or tai chi. Aim for at least 20 minutes of exercise per day on most days.

PRACTICE PURSED-LIP BREATHING. This technique will help you pace yourself through physical activities. Before you start moving, inhale through your nose so deeply that your abdomen expands. Then, as you begin to move, exhale through your mouth with your lips pursed to slow down the airflow. Your exhalation should last twice as long as your inhalation. You will feel pressure in your windpipe and chest as you slowly breathe out.

When you finish exhaling, rest for a moment, then inhale and start the process again.

AVOID LUNG IRRITANTS. An important way to control your symptoms and prevent flareups is to keep your airways from becoming irritated. Many things can affect the airways, including exhaust fumes from your stove, smoke from your fireplace, dry air, and molds and mildew. If you have allergies, try to avoid exposure to whatever causes them -- pollen, pet dander, house dust, mold and so on.

If you follow these tips, I think you’ll find that you have fewer episodes of severe difficulty in breathing.

Dear Abby:

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

Dr. Wallace: I would like to share my ideas regarding the mother who was worrying about her teenage daughter spending too much time alone in her room.

My own daughter and I have a wonderful relationship. She was a very busy girl during her high school years and was a cheerleader and active in several clubs. She also had a boyfriend, but she continued to maintain a 4.0 grade point average. She also took a part-time job in her senior year.

I was feeling pretty “leftout,” and it took me a while to understand her need for privacy and “down time” alone without taking it personally.

My suggestion to this girl from Detroit is to set aside some time in her busy schedule just for mom. She should share what’s happening in her life.

Mom will then feel special and involved.

My daughter and I chose to have breakfast together every Saturday morning and this has worked for us. – Happy Mom,

Denver, Colo.

Happy Mom: Thanks for the

sound advice. Open and honest communication on a regular basis is the foundation of family harmony.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 13 and have a major problem with my “so-

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace called” best friend, Megan. Yesterday, we got into a terrible argument. It ended when we called each other very nasty names and walked away from each other.

This morning (Saturday) I went over to her house to talk with her.

The arrangement was made by our mothers. At first Megan acted like a good friend, but when another girl came over to her house, she told me to “Please go home now because I want to spend time with my very good friend, Karla.”

I was very hurt and surprised by her attitude. I quickly left her house and went straight home and up to my room and cried for over an hour.

Please tell me what I should do.

I’m not a really popular girl, but Megan has many friends. –

Sara, Columbus, Ohio Sara: It’s obvious that Megan

no longer considers you a “best friend,” so it’s time to expand your list of good friends.

However, there is no reason why the two of you can’t continue to be “good friends”. Send her a note and let her know

that you are aware that she has other friends, but that you hope the friendship you have had with her over the years will continue.

Your next step will be to start a vigorous campaign to acquire some new friends.

You should get active in school activities and clubs, and other organizations, such as church youth groups, and community activities geared to young adults.

This will take a little time, but you will soon meet other teens who share similar interests and will become friends.

Do not sit at home feeling “left out” because Megan isn’t spending a lot of time with you.

Get active immediately!

Dr. Wallace: A very good friend of mine died from an overdose.

I was so upset that I could not even attend his funeral.

Now some of my friends are ragging on me for not going, and now I’m feeling really guilty about not going.

Do you think I was wrong for not attending his funeral? –

Nameless, Albany, N.Y. Nameless: Grieving is very

personal. It is not wrong that you did not attend your friend’s funeral.

I’m a 21-yearold college student.

Recently, my cousin (also 21) moved in with my parents and me because her mom is verbally and mentally abusive.

Lately, I’m having issues with her being here.

She constantly barges into my room, leaving me no time for myself. Most days she ends up napping in my bed instead of hers, leaving drool on my sheets. When she comes home from school, she drops all of her things in my room. My parents cleared out a room for her, yet most of her stuff is in mine.

She gets ready in my room instead of hers and talks on the phone with her boyfriend loudly while I’m studying or reading.

She’s constantly complaining about school, her boyfriend, work, etc.

If I get invited somewhere, she tries to tag along.

I don’t know what to do. I need time for myself. I can’t bring these issues up to her because she’s extremely sensitive and will see it as an attack. I don’t know how much longer I can take it because she is stuck here until November. Please help. – California Girl Dear California Girl: You need to talk to your parents about your cousin’s lack of boundaries.

Everyone needs personal time, and yours should be respected. Installing a lock on your bedroom door could guarantee that your cousin stays out in your absence.

However, because you are all adults -- even though your cousin appears to be emotionally stuck in adolescence – some rules need to be established. If she would consider it an attack if they come from you, your parents should be the ones who deliver the message.

Dear Abby: I’m 13 and my problem is, when I look in the mirror, all I can see is ugliness. My mother has heard the way I talk about myself, and she doesn’t like it one bit.

But I can’t seem to stop because all I hear is, “You’re ugly or you’re fat. Go on a diet!”

Is there something wrong with me? Do I need help? If so, what type of help? – West Coast Teen Dear West Coast Teen: Whether or not you are overweight is something your doctor should determine.

As to your being “ugly,” most young teenagers go through a period of transition.

Your problem isn’t your looks. It’s the voice in your head.

My advice to you would be to concentrate on developing the things you are good at – sports, music, art, drama – and let the rest take care of itself because it will.

Spending time alone can be good

SUNDAY

6 p.m. on @ WFLD The Simpsons Veteran actor Michael York — known for such films as “Cabaret” and “Logan’s Run,” but also as the spy’s boss in the “Austin Powers” comedies — supplies the guest voice of a veterinarian who takes on Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith) as an intern in the aptly titled “Lisa the Veterinarian.” She’s eager for the experience, until it hits close to home. Marge (voice of Julie Kavner) is shocked by what she finds as a crime-scene cleaner. Another episode airs later tonight.

6:30 p.m. on @ WFLD Bob’s Burgers Entering a new chapter often means giving up an old one, as Tina (voice of Dan Mintz) learns when she gets to go to horse camp at last in “The Horse Rider-er.” Dealing with actual animals prompts her to let go of the one she’s long had in her mind, Jericho (voice of Paul Rudd). As Tina has that adventure, Linda (voice of John Roberts) tries to keep Gene and Louise (voices of Eugene Mirman and Kristen Schaal) from feeling left out.

Linda Emond and Michael Gaston guest star.

9:30 p.m. on % WMAQ The Voice Though the singing competition doesn’t get going again in earnest until mid-September, it takes advantage of having the Olympics closing ceremonies as a lead-in for a preview at the point at which it always starts, the “Blind Auditions Premiere.” Notable for Season 11 is the addition of two new coaches/judges: Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys, who join returnees Adam Levine and Blake Shelton in sampling and selecting contestants. Carson Daly remains the host.

claims he’s the one who spelled things out for his son. Clark (Jonathan Slavin) may come to regret following Pat’s (Dave Foley) advice. Tisha Campbell-Martin also stars.

8 p.m. on _ WLS 20/20: In an Instant “He Picked the Wrong Girl” is the true, appropriately titled story of Ashley Ware, a woman who was kidnapped in 2008 from her home in Fargo, N.D. After being threatened with sexual assault and murder, she managed to escape from her captor — who pursued her to an autoparts store and held her and two employees as hostages. Ware wasn’t done fighting back, though, as she explains on-camera (while she’s played by actress Amy Rapp in dramatized sequences).

10 p.m. on @ WFLD Home Free Four contestants remain in “Team Teardown,” so the pressure is that much more intense for them — forcing decisions on whether they should collaborate or fend for themselves. Host Mike Holmes and Tim Tebow keep close watch not only on the competitors’ construction skills, but also on their respective attitudes as the work continues.

8 p.m. on ^ WBBM Madam Secretary Scenes set at the United Nations Headquarters in “Ghost Detainee” were filmed at the actual New York site, as Elizabeth (Tea Leoni) addresses the General Assembly to denounce a terrorist group and seek support in dismantling it. The speech causes problems for Henry (Tim Daly), who’s opposing the Russian government that Elizabeth wants help from. Guest stars include David Garrison (“Married ... With Children”). Bebe Neuwirth also stars.

8 p.m. on + WTTW Masterpiece Mystery!

A chapter in British TV history closes tonight as actor Kevin Whately bids farewell to a role that has spanned nearly 30 years in his career: Detective Inspector Robbie Lewis, a character he first created on “Inspector Morse” in 1987, then eventually continued in his own “Inspector Lewis” sequel. In their final adventure, “What Lies Tangled,” Lewis and Hathaway (Laurence Fox) investigate a bomb attack that kills a mathematician who also was a philanderer with plenty of enemies.

8 p.m. on @ WFLD Family Guy Brian’s jokes irritate Stewie (both characters voiced by Seth MacFarlane) to the extent that they have a fight, prompting Stewie to create a companion in “Robot Guy.” As might be expected from that title, the pal is mechanical — and too smart for his inventor’s good, since he (it?) then unfriends Stewie. Peter (also voiced

by MacFarlane) has to go mattress shopping at Lois’ (voice of Alex Borstein) insistence. Patrick Warburton also is heard.

8:30 p.m. on @ WFLD The Last Man on Earth What if you threw a party and nobody came?

It’s a familiar question, but the answer can be particularly painful if you’re one of the few people left on Earth. That’s the potential dilemma facing Tandy, aka Phil (Will Forte), in “Skidmark” — and he’ll certainly know who didn’t RSVP. Todd (Mel Rodriguez) gets reason to feel better about the future. Kristen Schaal, January Jones, Mary Steenburgen and Cleopatra Coleman also star.
