Celebrating the great outdoors

By the time this column hits print, I’ll be far, far away from Kane County.

Yes, I will be staring at some of the most beautiful scenery this country has to offer, as I’ll be on vacation visiting both Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.

One of my sisters started planning this trip months ago. My family members are huge fans of our national parks, and my sister wanted to be sure as sure can be that she’d be camping at one of them during the National Park Service centennial.

Say happy birthday with me, Kane County, because today – Aug. 25 – is the National Park Service’s 100th birthday!

This trip is going to be great. Both of my sisters are going, as well as my husband and some of our friends from Illinois and Oregon.

Yes, it will be one big meet-up out

EDITOR’S NOTEBOOK Kathy Balcazar West. We’re going to Airbnb it half of the trip and camp the second half. Hiking, rafting and just general all-around exploring will be the name of the game.

As I write this column in advance of the trip, it’s hard not to reflect on the other national parks I have visited: Glacier, Rocky Mountain, Mesa Verde, Arches, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Mammoth Cave, Yosemite and Great Smoky Mountains.

My family and I drove through Yellowstone on the way back from Glacier when I was in high school. I can still remember waiting for Old Faithful to erupt and am excited to see the famous geyser again.

I haven’t yet visited Grand Teton, but I’m eager to get there. As my sister likes to recall, that’s one place our national park-loving granny (God rest her adventurous soul!) always recommended.

Be it at a Kane County forest preserve or a national park, I always like getting outside. And I know a lot of our readers do, too.

Gotta get outdoors? Check out www.kaneforest.com or www.nps.gov for local and national possibilities, respectively.

Village mulls ad hoc committee for Blackberry Creek

By SUSAN O’NEILL editorial@kcchronicle.com ELBURN – A second request to the Elburn Village Board from the Blackberry Creek Homeowners Association was met with little enthusiasm Aug. 15, but trustees were open to the idea of an ad hoc committee with members of the homeowners association and Village Board for the purpose of coming up with suggestions that would benefit the entire village.

The initial request from the homeowners association, brought to the board at the village’s Aug. 1 Committee of the Whole meeting, was for the purchase of exercise equipment along the bike path. Village Administrator Erin Willrett’s assessment was that this idea had been a trend in the past, but that people did not end up utilizing the equipment over time and it typically fell into disrepair.

The board’s response was to deny the request, but to also have Willrett suggest an alternative to the homeowners association, such as mile markers for the path.

When that request came back before the board, several trustees were skepti-

cal of the utility of mile markers.

“On your phone, you can keep track of your mileage,” trustee Ken Anderson said.

Other trustees wondered where the village would start with the mile markers and how it could work.

Willrett said her recommendation was that there were other park maintenance issues within the village that were more critical to address at this time. She said a positive response from the village would be appropriate at this point.

She asked board members if they would be willing to participate in an ad hoc committee with homeowners association representatives to discuss ideas for park improvements. She said the board needs to consider the needs of the entire village, and it also could be instrumental in getting cost estimates for potential projects.

Trustees Jeff Walter and Pat Schuberg said they would be interested in being on the committee.

“The land belongs to the village,” Walter said. “No matter what we put there, it has to benefit the whole village.”

He said that if members of the com-

munity are willing to come up with ideas and willing to help implement them, “let’s accept it with open arms.”

Elburn resident Brian McCarthy had questions about a time frame for a park in Blackberry Creek during the public comment period of the Village Board meeting Aug. 15.

McCarthy had heard about the homeowners association request for exercise equipment for the path and had his own thoughts.

“I would say save that $500 and buy a picnic table for the new park,” he told board members.

McCarthy said he knew some developers who would be willing to donate a substantial amount of money in exchange for naming rights for a park.

He said he also would be willing to donate some benches and a picnic table.

Village President Dave Anderson directed McCarthy back to the homeowners association.

“You’ve got some good ideas and good thoughts, and you’re willing to help,” he said. “Don’t give up.”

Willrett said she would pursue the committee concept with homeowners association representative Carrie Walter.

Elburn Days: Fried Twinkies, mud volleyball and more

By BRENDA SCHORY

News to your phone

bschory@shawmedia.com ELBURN – The carnival rides, fried Twinkies and craft show at the three-day Elburn Days festival defined fun for the throngs of people who turned out to Lions Park in Elburn.

“It’s close and my daughters enjoy it,” said Dwayne Zimmerman of Cortland, who came on the last day of the event, Aug. 21, with his three daughters, Jenna and Lana, both 9, and Kara, 6. “It’s more for them than for me.”

That was a sentiment echoed by Jennifer Parr of Oswego, who brought her daughter, Trinity, 8, and son, Peyton, 6.

“I’ve come here since I was a kid,” Parr said, adding she was a 1992 Kaneland High School graduate. “I used to show my pigs here when I was in 4-H.” The Elburn Lions’ biggest fundraiser of the year, which supports its park and chari-

Kaneland students welcome in a new school year

By VIOLET MARQUARDT

Counselor Marci Lapinskas gives a tour of the student services area during an open house at Kaneland Harter Middle School in Sugar Grove.

editorial@kcchronicle.com The Kaneland school district welcomed back its students this week. While some students and staff bid summer a tearful adieu, many said they were excited for the new challenges and opportunities that a fresh school year brings.

“I’m pretty excited for school,” said Chris Ruchay, a sixth-grader at Kaneland Harter Middle School. “And it’s my first year at a new school.”

District Superintendent Todd Leden said enrollment has remained stable this year.

“Our kindergarten through 12th grade enrollment is 4,560 [students],” Leden said. “That’s pretty stable from last year, when the enrollment was around 4,600.”

In June, the Kaneland School District Board of Education voted to hire an additional full-time kindergarten teacher at Kaneland John Shields Elementary School because of an influx of kindergarten students.

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

“Kindergarten enrollment this year is at about 289 [students],” Leden said.

There will be 60 new staff members joining Kaneland this year, including 26 teachers, Leden said, adding that they will be distributed throughout the district, from the elementary schools to the high school.

Leden said the board voted this year to hire a districtwide director of human resources.

In addition, the district has re-

vamped its website, hoping to make it easier to use and navigate, he said.

“I strongly encourage parents to check out the new website to [learn about] upcoming school events and other things like that,” Leden said.

On a curriculum level, Leden said, few changes have been made this year. He said changes in curriculum should come next year.

“We’re doing a complete cur-

riculum review. ... We do have a new strategic plan, which is Kaneland 2020, and that will be a four-year plan that will guide and direct our district in a number of our [decisions] and planning [processes],” Leden said.

One change to the curriculum this year is the extension of Kaneland Platooning Assures Student Success – or KPASS. Essentially, KPASS gives students one core teach-

er, and then the students travel to different teachers for different subjects. KPASS was implemented in the fifth-grade classrooms last year.

“We’ve extended it to fourth grade this year,” Leden said.

“Fourth and fifth grades have regular teachers but expand out for core classes, with different teachers.”

Leden said this expansion allows teachers to “go greater in depth” with the curriculum.

He added that KPASS is a good teaching tool to help kids transition to middle school.

Teacher institute days were Aug. 22 and 23. Classes started Aug. 24. Before that, the district had a number of events to ease kids back into school mode, including open houses and curriculum nights, as well as supply drop-off days where students could get familiar with their lockers and find their classes.

“I’m really excited to go to art class,” said Teia Brandl, an eighth-grader at Harter Middle School. “It’s my favorite class.”

The fire district responded to Producers Chemical Company, 1960 Bucktail Lane, at 8:20 a.m. Aug. 22 for a chemical release in the loading dock area, the release stated.

Sugar Grove Police Chief Pat Rollins said the call was in response to a chlorine gas leak, a byproduct of a chemical reaction.

The chemical release was controlled in about two and a half hours, the release stated.

It indicated the incident was confined to the property, which was turned over to the occupant and cleanup company.

The Sugar Grove Fire Protection District was assisted by units from North Aurora, Elburn, Big Rock, Little Rock-Fox, Montgomery, Geneva, Batavia, Maple Park, St. Charles, Aurora, Hinckley, Bristol-Kendall, the Sugar Grove Police Department, TriCom Central Dispatch and the Sugar Grove Firefighters Auxiliary, the release stated.

The Kaneland Knights marching band is busy preparing for its football, parade and competition season.

Marching Knights ready to perform Kaneland band expects to feature 150 students

By SUZANNE FLYNN editorial@kcchronicle.com Classes may be just starting, but the Kaneland High School marching band has been working hard for weeks in preparation for the upcoming school year.

The band has been attending camp every day to perfect their performances – not only for their football halftime routines, but also for the competitions and parades this fall.

“Before the first day of school rolls around, the band has already performed three to five times,” said Aaron Puckett, band and instrumental music director. “They’ve performed at the Sugar Grove

Corn Boil, the Montgomery Fest parade, during freshmen orientation, for teachers on the first day of school and during a special performance for their parents.”

Upcoming fall performances include the Maple Park Fun Fest parade, and if their schedule allows, the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival parade. In addition to the Kaneland school song, their parade routine includes trendy pop songs, a drum percussion and spirit yells.

New uniforms also are in store for the Marching Knights. Puckett said the uniforms will be debuted during the fall 2017 football games.

There are about 150 students in this year’s band, the largest number the high school has had in years.

“The eighth-grade class was significantly large this [past]

year, which was cause for the increase in numbers, so we’ll see if this trend continues,” Puckett said. “I’m hoping it’s because the popularity in the band program is catching on.”

A group of Northern Illinois University students, middle school band teachers and color guard instructors all come together to write music and choreograph the Kaneland Knights’ performances.

The high school marching band has won statewide titles with their performances at Northern Illinois University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at Illinois State University.

“We have consistently placed at the top of the class in the past few years,” Puckett said. “We have done very well coming home with first, second, third or fourth place [trophies].”

“I have been a part of this band program for 11 years, and these kids are some of the hardest working kids in the community,” Puckett said.

“It’s been an honor to work with them, and [to] watch them grow and learn. “... You should come out and see firsthand the amazing things they do on the marching field.”

Field of dreams I’m about to begin my 21st season photographing high school football.

Every year, I try to see each game, practice and player differently. I also try not to think about how old those young players in my first season are now. They’re most likely coaching their own children at this point.

Showing readers each football team and game through my eyes is a large task, which I do not take lightly.

Each season, it is my only hope that our local teams play safely, have fun and play with all of their heart.

Preschoolers give gifts to Sugar Grove police

By CHRIS WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com Sugar Grove residents Michelle Shields and Candice Tinson wanted to do something special for the Sugar Grove Police Department to show their appreciation and provide support.

The two spearheaded an effort to collect gifts for goodie bags that were delivered to the police department July 29.

“Candice and I had read a post about a group of ladies in Geneva and St. Charles that were collecting items for gift bags, so we decided to do

the same thing here in Sugar Grove,” Shields said. “We ended up doing an event on Facebook and inviting a bunch of friends, family and acquaintances, and we had an amazing turnout.”

Tinson said that while the idea to do it wasn’t originally theirs, it was still something she was very proud to help get started.

“The basis for our inspiration really came from Geneva,” Tinson said. “We couldn’t surprise [the police officers] or anything, but we put together the gift bags and made sure we

At the end of last week’s column, the reputation of a certain local naturalist was in tatters. She’d mistaken a dead raccoon, one of our area’s most common roadkills, for a badger, a mammal that is rarely seen in Kane County. Little did she know, though, that badgers were alive and well – and reproducing, even, just a few miles away.

She ...

OK, let’s drop the pretenses. Yeah, it was me. I was the nature professional who, through a combination of haste, optimism and poor judgment, thought a roadkill raccoon was a belly-up badger. In the process I led several other folks astray and created the false hope that Taxidea taxus, the American badger, was present, and numerous enough to get hit by cars, right here in Kane County.

As the weeks went by, I endured a fair amount of ribbing from friends and colleagues. One buddy even came up with a new species, Coonicus ottoii, the ring-tailed badger. With my head hung in shame, I prepared to turn in my Naturalist Card and vowed to never speak of badgers again.

But then along came Hampshire resident Karen Bogacz.

Karen and I met at Campton Hills’ National Night Out on Aug. 3 when she stopped by the Hickory Knolls Discovery Center table. We had a lovely time chatting on that warm summer night, I’m sure, but I really don’t remember many details of our conversation. I was too busy trying to suppress the urge to whoop, cheer, holler, scream and jump for joy. Because Karen, with a slight smile and, I swear, a twinkle in her eye, dispelled all the shame I’d been carrying with one magical sentence: “I have badgers behind my house.”

Badgers. The mammal that had haunted me; visions of which had kept me up at night.

Not only did Karen describe what she’d seen, but – better still – she had photos. Gorgeous photos of a real, honest-to-goodness badger that was alive and well – and reproducing, even, right in her own backyard.

Did I mention I was overjoyed?

Now I know badgers don’t have the widespread appeal that certain other mammals possess. Sure they’re ornery (“solitary and defensive” in naturalist-speak) and well-armed, with 34 sharp teeth and front claws that measure almost 2 inches in length. But they consume tremendous amounts of rodents, insects and carrion – the types of things that would get out of hand without some means of control. And the burrows they excavate – sometimes at a rate of one a day, in search of prey – become homes

And here we are, back on the topic of badgers

Stocky and low to the ground, American badgers display distinctive white facial markings. Females weigh around 15 pounds, while males around 20 pounds. Raccoons, by comparison, range in weight from 12 to 35 pounds.

GOOD NATURED Pam Otto for many types of wildlife less wellequipped for digging.

Nomadic by nature, badgers really don’t stay in one place for very long – unless they’re rearing young. And that’s what made Karen’s badger extra cool. It had excavated a natal den, and raised three pups.

An adult female, three offspring and presumably a male somewhere in the vicinity adds up to a fair amount of badgers in northwestern Kane County. The pups matured and, Karen later reported, were nowhere to be seen by mid-August. Each had moved on, or dispersed, an action that is key to badger survival. These hefty critters need a fairly large territory for their size, as much as three or four square miles per individual.

So why don’t we see more badgers in our area? Habitat loss is probably the main reason. And unlike raccoons and skunks, which are perfectly at

home around your home, badgers prefer open space – something we don’t have a lot of anymore. They’re not social either, so other than a female with young you’re unlikely to see them in groups.

Interestingly enough, though, I hear about badgers maybe two or three times a year, mostly from people who own or live near large expanses of open space. Not prairies so much as old fields and pastures. In fact, longtime “Good Natured” readers may recall the time, in 2010, when our coworker Denis Kania spotted what he at first thought was a dead raccoon along Red Gate Road, east of Randall Road – an area home to horse farms, and pastures.

Denis, who is not in any danger of having his Naturalist Card revoked, was pretty sure he’d seen white stripes on the head of the unfortunate animal.

He circled back and, sure enough, found a deceased male badger with trauma, likely from a car, to one side of its body.

Today, six years later, that badger is still in our Hickory Knolls freezer.

A little freezer burned, it still makes

appearances as our programming needs dictate. It also serves as our most credible evidence of badgers in Kane County. At least it did, until Karen shared her photos.

Curious about whether badgers are on anyone else’s radar, I contacted Bill Graser, wildlife biologist with the Forest Preserve District of Kane County. He said he and his staff have had a couple of observations this summer, including a dead badger on Aug. 15, not far from Route 47.

The next time you’re out and about, especially in the western part of the county, keep an eye out for stocky, lumbering creatures with distinctive white stripes on the face. Who knows?

You just might get to earn your very own Naturalist Card. One with a special Badger Endorsement.

Folk-inspired opportunity for adults Hootenanny House in Geneva offers chance to learn to play guitar and other instruments

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – John Connolly learned to play guitar at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, where people come together in a group and learn to play with other musicians.

So when he moved to Batavia, he looked for something similar in the area for adults, but didn’t find it.

“Three places advertised adult group classes,’’ Connolly said. “I called and they said, ‘We’ll put you on the list and when we get enough people, we’ll call you.’ Well, they never did.”

If there was going to be group lessons for adults in folk-type music, Connolly decided he had to change careers and do it himself.

“I did data-based analysis … sitting in a cube all day in a never-ending stream of meetings,” said Connolly, 48. “I was not a happy camper. … I was in corporate burnout.”

Connolly went in another direction entirely and started Hootenanny House at 321 Hamilton St., Geneva.

It’s a folk-inspired opportunity for adults and children to learn to play the guitar, ukulele, fiddle, banjo, harmonica,

Hootenanny House owner John Connolly leads a guitar class in Geneva. blues harp and dulcimer, Connolly said.

“The Old Town method or approach is group classes where a teacher is a facilitator,” Connolly said. “Six, eight or 10 people are learning to play together. …

You play by yourself, but you are learning the importance of keeping the timing together and keeping the sound tight.”

When he did a marketing analysis, Connolly said the Geneva area has many music schools, but most cater to school-age children.

“I met a number of 50ish-age empty nesters who would love to get into playing an instrument,” Connolly said, “Because they put it down as kids and would

like to get back into it.”

Hootenanny House had a soft opening in May, Connolly said, and he is looking to be part of the annual Fox Valley Folk Fest on Sept. 4 and 5 at Island Park in Geneva.

Currently, Hootenanny House is offering classes in The Beatles-style guitar and early childhood music and movement classes for mothers and toddlers, he said.

Hootenanny House also offers workshops in writing and arts, Connolly said.

SUGAR GROVE – The Sugar Grove Village Board during its regular meeting Aug. 2 approved plans for an AutoZone store to be built in the Sugar Grove Center.

AutoZone is set to go in the lot immediately south of Chase Bank, which is at 489 N. Route 47, in Sugar Grove.

The developer’s final plans were approved during the meeting, with construction expected to begin in the spring of 2017. AutoZone could be open as early as next summer, said Walter Magdziarz, development director.

AutoZone will have a 7,000square-foot building, Magdziarz said. “[The] development proposal is fairly simple,” Magdziarz said.” “[The store] will have accessory parking, and the landscaping complies with the zoning and planned unit development. The architecture resources group reviewed the elevations. They will be adding windows facing Route 47 and the parking lot.”

Magdziarz said the windows will be black.

“AutoZone will provide convenience, choice, options and auto parts for the car repair enthusiast,” he said, noting that oil recycling and oil changes will not be offered at this store.

According to the final plans, about two-thirds of the AutoZone building will be dedicated to storage and the remaining section of the building will be used for retail space.

Sugar Grove Village President Sean Michels said he is looking forward to having more opportunities for Sugar Grove residents to shop in their hometown without having to leave town for their retail needs.

“AutoZone will provide the residents with a convenient location to pick up parts for their cars,” Michels said. “Instead of shopping in other towns, now our residents can shop right here in Sugar Grove.”

Batavia woman faces charge of felony theft in Geneva

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – An employee of an electronics store was charged with felony retail theft of 12 video games, according to police reports.

Amber R. Moberly, 29, of the 1200 block of East Wilson Street, Batavia, was charged Amber R. Aug. 4 with the Moberly theft of video games valued at $659.88 from the store where she worked, Best Buy, 1876 S. Randall Road, police reports stated.

Moberly then sold the 12 games to Game Stop, 1492 S. Randall Road, police reports stated.

The theft was revealed

when an inventory check showed the games were missing from the store, police reports stated.

Moberly was released after posting $300 bond, or 10 percent of the $3,000 bail that was set.

The charge carries a potential penalty of two to five years in prison and fines of up to $25,000, if she is convicted.

Moberly had just completed 24 months of probation in May for felony charges of reckless driving and criminal damage to property stemming from a March 26, 2014, arrest in Elgin, court records show.

A status hearing on that case is scheduled for Sept. 16, the same day Moberly is to appear in court on the felony theft charges, court records show.

Information in Police Reports is obtained from local police departments. Individuals in Police Reports who have been charged with a crime have not been proved guilty in court.

BATAVIA – A 15-year-old North Aurora girl who had a valid learner’s permit was cited for failing to yield while turning left, which resulted in a fatal motorcycle crash Aug. 4, Batavia police said Aug. 19 in a news release.

The teen girl was driving a 2009 Pontiac Vibe at 8:20 p.m., turning left from southbound Randall Road to eastbound Main Street, the release stated.

Justin Retherford-Speer, 20, of Oswego was riding a 1994 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle in the northbound, inside lane of Randall Road approaching Main Street, the release stated.

The investigation indicated the light was green for both north and southbound traffic on Randall Road at the time of the crash, the release stated.

The Pontiac began to turn left before the driver saw the motorcycle, stopping midturn with a portion of its hood in the northbound lane of traffic, the release stated.

Retherford-Speer applied

the motorcycle’s brakes to avoid hitting the Pontiac, but it went into a skid, then fell on its side, the release stated.

After striking the front end of the Pontiac, Retherford-Speer was ejected from the Kawasaki and also hit the front end of the Pontiac, suffering serious injuries, the release stated.

Retherford-Speer was taken to Delnor Hospital in Geneva, where he later died of his injuries, Batavia police detective Kevin Bretz said.

He was not wearing a helmet, Bretz said.

Neither alcohol nor distracted driving appeared to be factors in the crash, the release stated.

A passenger in the Pontiac was a family member who was also a licensed driver, the release stated. Neither the driver nor the passenger was injured, the release stated.

Police are not releasing the driver’s name because she is a juvenile, Bretz said.

The teen is scheduled to appear Sept. 13 in Kane County Branch Court in St. Charles, the release stated.

someone who is a police officer or has a family member who is one, and what’s been going on is really disturbing.”

The 25 bags were delivered to Police Chief Pat Rollins, who distributed them to his 22 officers and clerical staff.

“We’ve received great community support from the residents,” Rollins said. “We’ve had people dropping things like baked goods and thank-you cards, or simply just stopping in and telling us that they appreciate us. It’s been overwhelming.”

Rollins was impressed with the number of gifts packed into each bag, as well the elaborate design and effort put into each bag, he said.

“It was very touching to see the kids and their parents come in,” Rollins said. “It’s something that will be ingrained in my memory for a very long time. It was nice to interact with the parents, as well as the kids, and so much detail went into these bags. It was very touching. We definitely appreciate it.”

The kids received goodies in return from many of the officers, while also getting an opportunity to sit in squad cars and turn on the sirens.

“It was a great opportunity for our officers to be shown in the spotlight,” Rollins said. “And, at the same time, appreciated for what they do.”

Continued from page 8 had enough. They had a new officer sworn in last week, and they updated us with the numbers and arranged for the dropoff.”

The bags were filled with a diverse assortment of goodies, including gift cards from Jimmy John’s, Subway, Genoa Pizza, Starbucks and McDonald’s, as well as a variety of snack items.

Children from One Day at a Time and Chesterbrook Academy preschools, both in Sugar Grove, created thank-you notes, which were included in the gift bags.

“We’re going to invite the policemen to come in and visit us here soon,” One Day at a Time teacher Mary Jo Rauen said. “It was a good learning experience for the kids to find out more about our local policemen.”

Shields said she found the experience to be rewarding personally, but also noted the valuable lesson it held for the preschool students.

“It’s amazing all the hard work that police officers do, and they need to be respected,” she said. “It’s been an extremely difficult time out there right now for them and they need our support. Plus, I think everybody knows

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.

28 Auto & Light Truck

GENEVA – Kane County has been issued a tentative property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000, announced Constance Beard, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue, in a news release.

Last year’s equalization factor for the county also was 1.0000, the release stated.

The property assessment equalization factor, often called the “multiplier,” is the method used to achieve uniform property assessments among counties, as required by law, the release stated.

This equalization is particularly important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties, such as school districts, junior college districts and fire protection districts, the release stated. If there were no equalization, substantial inequities among taxpayers with comparable properties would result, the release stated.

State law requires property in Illinois to be assessed at one-third of its market value, the release stated.

Farm property is assessed differently, with farm home sites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization procedures, but with farmland and farm buildings assessed according to standards based on productivity, the release stated.

The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the sales price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments, the release stated.

If this three-year average level of assessment is one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be one. If the average level of assessment is greater than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be less than one. And if the average level of assessment is less than one-third of market value, the equalization factor will be greater than one, the release stated.

Assessments in Kane County are at 33.27 percent of market value, based on sales of properties in 2013, 2014 and 2015, the release stated.

The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2016 taxes, payable in 2017.

LILY LAKE – A transportation official was amazed that a Lily Lake road didn’t cave in when a crew excavating a driveway dumped 28 tons of concrete on the pavement, according to a Kane County Sheriff’s Office report.

Sheriff’s police were called to the intersection of Meadowview Lane and Fescue Court in Campton Township at 5:41 p.m. Aug. 8 for a roadway obstruction consisting of several pieces of concrete in the middle of the road, the report stated.

The report described the concrete pieces as 5-inch thick slabs that were “large but varied in size.”

Police noted in the report that the blockage would have prevented emergency vehicles from accessing Fescue Court, which dead-ends.

According to the report, the man who reported the obstruction said a company was excavating a concrete driveway on Fescue Court and put the slabs on the road because there was no other place to put them.

He reportedly told police the road was paved only one year ago and described the employees as uncooperative.

When police questioned an employee about it, the employee indicated he was following his boss’ orders and said a dump truck would retrieve the materials, the report stated.

Police reportedly told the employee to return the concrete to its original address and ordered him to call his boss.

Upon arrival, the boss denied ordering his employees to dump the materials on the road and described the situation as the “stupidest thing he has ever seen,” the report stated.

Based on measurements of the driveway and broken slabs, a quality control inspector with the Illinois Department of Transportation determined the concrete weighed 28 tons, the report stated.

It noted the road is a 6-ton roadway.

“He was surprised the roadway did not cave in,” the report stated.

A village official assessed the damage, which was estimated at $6,000 to $8,000, according to the report.

Police issued two ordinance violations in the incident.

AID launches new funding campaign BOB TOMASZEWSKI btomaszewski@shawmedia.com AURORA – The Aurora-based Association for Individual Development – or AID – in its determination to secure the future for people with physical or mental challenges, recently launched a capital campaign called “For All Their Tomorrows,” according to a news release.

Campaign funds will provide housing, employment, health services, community support and crisis prevention for deserving people largely relegated to the margins of mainstream society, the release stated.

“Few organizations in northern Illinois have done more for people with physical or mental challenges than [AID],” AID Board Chairman Patrick Flaherty said in the release. “AID currently serves [more than] 5,500 people through 20 programs in 47 communities.

“Despite more than 50 years of tireless service, the importance and challenge of its work has never been greater, because human need is increasing and financial resources are decreasing.”

More than 1,500 people in the Fox Valley area are on a wait list, the release stated, adding that over the next 15 years, half of the 16,000 special education students in the area will graduate [high school] at age 21 and need help. Even more adults will require help when aging parents can no longer

be caretakers, the release stated.

AID President Lynn O’Shea estimated that 30 families are selected from a lottery each year and 60 families are put on a wait list annually.

AID must raise $2.5 million to retire mortgages and upgrade facilities.

Savings of more than $300,000 annually will be redirected to preserve programs involving developmental disabilities and behavioral health, the release stated.

O’Shea estimated it would take about $5 million to eliminate the wait list.

This new revenue stream will reduce the wait list, enhance housing and mental health treatment, increase job training and job placement, maintain qualified staff and keep important services for autism, audiology, respite care, victim care, crisis intervention, and health and wellness, the release stated.

Facilities upgrades include wheelchair accessibility, O’Shea said.

Each contribution to the AID campaign will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $750,000, through a challenge grant from the Dunham Fund over the next three to five years, the release stated.

For information, visit the-association.org. To pledge support, email info@the-association.org or call 630966-4001.

OUR VIEW

Planting seeds as school year starts up again The last half of the calendar year is not typically a time one thinks about starting anew – that mentality is usually associated with the spring and the growth that comes with it.

But August is truly a time of planting seeds – at least in the minds of area students.

Children and teens in Kane County have been heading back to class. The signs of that are everywhere: From the school supply displays in area stores to the teachers who have been setting up classrooms in buildings recently cleaned by area custodians, it’s evident we’re on the cusp of a new academic year.

Whether you’re a parent wondering how your child will do this year, an educator aiming to plan that perfect lesson or a student hoping they will be seated next to a best friend, there likely is some anxiety as the school year begins.

But there also is a sense of excitement, as a new school year also comes with the hope that this could be the best grade level yet.

That hope can be realized if all involved take on a team mentality, with every member committed to providing a successful educational experience.

Teachers have to plan engaging lessons and provide opportunities for all students to explore different ways to learn. Administrators need to implement goals that can be met. School boards need to be good stewards of tax dollars. State lawmakers need to make sure any new laws they pass do not add any more unfunded mandates to already taxed districts.

Parents need to partner with educators to make sure their children do homework and are attentive and respectful in class. Parents and educators also need to encourage students to do their best.

And the students themselves are more than just passengers along the way – in many ways, they should be the drivers on their educational journey.

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”

That is sage advice from the incomparable Dr. Seuss. Students have the power to have a great school year by investing in their education by participating in class, engaging in extracurricular activities and setting personal goals to continually add to their body of knowledge.

Our wish is that the excitement and hope that permeate that first day of class remain throughout the year, and the seeds planted now yield a great crop when students hear the final bell of the 2016-17 academic year.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Trying to gut it out without suspenders The other day I ran into a friend who I’d never seen wear suspenders before.

“I wear them to hold my pants up,” he said, which I took as a quip, a version of the old joke: “Why did the fireman wear red suspenders? To hold his pants up.”

He continued, “With a belt, my pants kept falling down.”

That confused me. Was his comment a serious explanation, a need to defend his sartorial decision, or an attempt to extend the punch line? Not sure, I chuckled, as if to imply, “I feel your pain,” because just the day before, I’d considered buying suspenders myself.

Why this conflict over wearing suspenders? Because once you buckle them on, in society’s eyes, according to Webster’s 41st Collegiate Fictionary, you’re what’s technically termed an “Old Fart.”

I use that term lovingly, as one would describe a dented, belching, rusted, exhaust-exhaling ’50s’ Ford station wagon wriggling up the street as “a good ol’ jalopy.”

When men switch from a belt to suspenders, one might presume a grownup rite of passage, like signing up for Social Security. No. It’s the gut that gets us. You know,

RIVER TOWN CHRONICLES Rick Holinger that pregnant-belly look that grows over the course of middle age from skin-tight, six-pack abs into a low-hanging basketball cradled behind a loose-fitting XXXL Hawaiian shirt. The tighter you pull your belt, the more egregious the bulge, the cincture not pressing into your waist, but pushing upward, exaggerating the bulbous globe, filled with decades of fine dining, late-night snacking and ignored exercise regimens.

As I say, at a store I passed through recently, suspenders hung like multi-colored grapevines. They enticed with a heady vision of elitism and self-aggrandizement. I saw cinematic business, legal and political tycoons hooking their thumbs behind red, white and blue suspenders while delivering speeches on the wonders of money, status and Ivy League educations. They snapped their elastic bands with cool aplomb while offering their audiences flirtatious winks and calculated half smiles.

Ah, if a pair of suspenders

could guarantee such self-assurance and yacht-owning affluence, I might strap on a pair.

But then I’d be giving up, giving in. I’d be snapping on a costume that’s not me, and I would resent the implications.

Rather, I still hope. I hope I can lose this gut, or at least slightly deflate its birthday balloon protuberance. I’ll try to corral the wild horses of hunger and turn down that second slice of deep dish pizza, while encouraging my sluggish nature to saddle up for more trips to the gym.

However, if one day you see me walking down the street attired in pinstripe suspenders, my stomach pacing me by half a block, please just smile and say something like, “Wow, Rick, you sure look self-important and marginally rich!”

Don’t bother commenting on the paunch.

Control freaks

To the editor: Getting a jump start on the 1 percent ruling class, let me warn your readers that the next wave of propaganda waiting in the wings for the right moment to be sprung on the American citizens will be the trashing of the common man.

Or, as was once said about Osama bin Laden, we are keeping him on ice for now. “Him” now being us.

Constitutionalists, originalists, independents, libertarians, truth-seekers, Christians, in general, people of unflinching principals, are to be identified as “Control Freaks” that need to be subordinated to the fringes of history.

The 1 percent, bankers being the root of the apple tree, have

ownership of the most powerful weapon required for human rights – freedom of speech. Silencing your antagonists and enslaving your competition cripples most forward movement from the 99 percent.

Time works against the common man; we can’t buy it.

Right now the 1 percent are destroying the landscape of the country. Our religious freedom, our cultures, family life, even

the right to propagate is under siege. Our response for the “One World Zealots” should be “Culture of Death” freaks.

In their ambition to overthrow the world, their bottom line is eliminating Christianity, and their ravings are the same – crucify Him. Joan Solms Aurora

SOUND OFF Working over summer

Why does Geneva School District 304 value the lives of teachers and office personnel more than the custodians? It seems that they do. The custodians had to work this summer in very, very hot circumstances ... . [During summer, custodians often] finish floors, scrub carpets, clean toilets, clean out lockers – all of the things I don’t think that teachers or the office people would really like to do, and – if they would – they should have come in and helped ’em. But I don’t think that they would like to do that in over 90 heat. I think not.

BEFORE THE DIPLOMA Denise Cartina

Over the course of roughly three months, I formed new relationships with people and experienced so many firsts and tried new things that will always have a special place in my heart. mer that made me happy. I won’t say all, but a majority of them had to deal with my two jobs, primarily my coworkers.

I grew closer to my coworkers than ever before, making work entertaining to the point where it wasn’t really work.

I began to spend time outside of work with my coworkers, which I loved. I’m sure many can relate that every once in a while there’s a solid group of people you work with where everyone just seems to effortlessly click.

I know I’m being vague; I apologize. Over the course of roughly three months, I formed new relationships with people and experienced so many firsts and tried new things that will always have a special place in my heart. Even if I try to forget some things, I never will and I simply can’t. There is a special group of people in my life that I’d like to thank, and I’m sure they know who they are. The summer that was supposed to last forever has officially ended.

Denise Cartina is a student at Waubonsee Community College and graduate of Batavia High School. In addition to writing, she enjoys watching sappy romantic comedies, eating peanut butter and keeping elegance alive. Her column runs every other Thursday.

LETTERS

Dear summer, where have you gone? I feel as if I ask this question every year. Summer claims to be three months long, but as each week passed 12 more weeks of summer dwindled to three more weeks. I hate to trade in my long nights of staying awake until 2 in the morning to having a bedtime of 11 at night. If I refuse to do so, my body and mind will crumble apart.

Before I begin the main point of my column, I’m going to say a few things. A majority of the columns that I write tell of personal stories that occur in my everyday community college student life.

I like to get to the point and write in an easy-to-read manner, mainly because that’s the type of writing I enjoy to read.

I could add a bunch of fancy words and detailed descriptions, but when I have a word limit that can be tough. I’d rather save my fancy writing for school assignments.

Today’s column is mainly like a journal entry for me.

Which, I highly recommend journaling because it’s a good stress releaser. I’m writing this column mainly because I want to reread it sometime in the future and realize just how much this summer meant to me. I’ve been trying to write this column for a few days. It’s been difficult to put everything into words. I want to keep this column just as personal as always, but I also want to keep some things private.

It can be challenging to find the right balance.

Nevertheless, there are some summers I forget easily.

These particular summers have routines that consist of waking up, moping around my house, going to work and then laying around my house again. My family may go on a vacation and I’ll spend time with friends, but other than that nothing happens. For me, this summer wasn’t like that. It was different.

Some things about this summer were typical. I went to the Mall of America and Six Flags with my friends, and I took a two-day trip to Michigan with my family. It was the little things this sum-

William Arthur Ward, a writer of inspirational maxims who died in 1994, said, “Adversity causes some men to break, others to break records.”

We have been looking at declarer’s handling of bad trump breaks.

Sometimes, though, declarer needs a favorable split, but must still play carefully. In today’s deal, South is in four hearts. West leads the spade king and continues the suit when East encourages with his eight. How should declarer continue?

North’s three-club rebid was a double negative, showing a very bad hand. His three hearts was nonforcing. But South did not want to stop short of game and continued with four clubs just in case partner had considerable length there.

South starts with three top losers: one spade, one heart and one diamond. So, if trumps are 4-1, the contract has no chance. However, he should also count winners. Here, he has four hearts, two diamonds and three clubs. If diamonds are 3-3, that will permit an extra winner to be established, but that is against the odds. So, what can declarer do if hearts are 3-2 and diamonds are 4-2?

South must arrange to trump his last diamond on the board.

After ruffing the second spade, he can afford to cash one top heart, but not two (otherwise, West will remove dummy’s final trump when in with the diamond ace). Then declarer drives out the diamond ace, ruffs the third spade, cashes his second high heart, and returns to diamonds. West may trump the third, but then South can ruff his low diamond on the board.

Evan Day, Bulldogs ready to defend River title

BATAVIA – After recently committing to Illinois State, Batavia lineman Evan Day can have a senior year focused solely on helping the Bulldogs have yet another successful season.

The 6-foot-6, 295-pound Day is a mainstay on a Batavia offensive line that continues to reload each season. Day spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey about what lies ahead for Batavia.

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Batavia High School offensive lineman Evan Day (left) goes through a drill during a recent practice at the school. Day and the Bulldogs have their sights set on more conference success this season.

Casey: How have you seen this team fill the roles vacated by some of last year’s players?

Day: We feel like we have a lot of guys that may not have been starters on last year’s team, but guys that have experience, you know? That’s valuable time. ...

That experience helps now. Guys are putting in the work. We had some guys [last year] like Colin Cheaney at wide receiver that on most teams is a starting wide receiver, but had to play JV last year because we were so stacked at that position.

Casey: How much do you guys talk about the 32-game unbeaten conference streak?

Day: It’s something that we know about and would like to keep going, but if we lose a conference game, make the playoffs and win a state championship, then we don’t care. We like to win. This group loves it, but if we lose and come out of it a better team, that’s what’s most important.

Casey: Talk about the level of excitement for the Week 4 game at home on the turf for the first time.

Day: It’s going to be fun. When you have home games and it starts to rain, you think, ‘Oh no.’

That won’t be the case getting all muddy and everything. It’s going to make us faster and we can’t wait to see how it all turns out and play on it.

Casey: What kind of identity can people expect from this Batavia team?

Day: We’re Batavia. We’re going to be able to run the ball and we’re going to be able to pass the ball. We’re going to throw a lot of formations at you, some tempo and fast, physical offense and defense.

We’re still Batavia.

IN THEIR WORDS FROM AREA COACHES

BURLINGTON CENTRAL ROCKETS New coach, new outlook for Hupe, Rockets

By CHRIS CASEY

editorial@kcchronicle.com BURLINGTON – Ryan Hupe has been through quite a bit in his first two seasons on the Burlington Central varsity football team. With a new coach in Brian Melvin, that makes three coaches in Hupe’s three seasons. The 5-foot-10 lineman also has seen struggles, with a disappointing 1-8 record to end last season. Hupe spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey about why this year will be different on Rocket Hill.

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

Burlington Central senior Ryan Hupe waits for the next drill Aug. 22 during practice at the school.

With a new coach in place, Hupe and the Rockets hope to end their playoff drought this season.

Casey: How difficult has three coaches in three years been when it comes to learning new plays and systems?

Hupe: It’s always challenging when you have to change coaches and programs like that, but this current coaching staff has been great. They have made things extremely simple, and have continued to push us and see what we can do. I think we’ve learned a lot

this summer and are very proud of what we’ve accomplished thus far.

Casey: What kept you guys coming back to work hard each day after losing the first eight games of last season?

Hupe: We just love this game, you know. I feel like especially with the returning guys, we just always had that drive to better ourselves. It wasn’t easy at all to keep losing, but I think we’ve seen what it’s like and the returning guys don’t want that same feeling again.

Casey: Why is this year with this team and coach Melvin going to be different?

Hupe: The biggest thing with coach Melvin is that he won’t let us quit. Even when we’re tired, he’s our motivation. He’s constantly pushing us to get better. But I also think this group plays with heart. I just think it’s noticeable with this team. I remember reading a headline in some newspaper that said ‘Doormat Burlington’ last season. It kind of lit a fire under me.

Geneva offensive lineman Bob Ritter comes to the line of scrimmage Aug. 19 during a practice at the school.

The Vikings have several new players taking over larger roles on both sides of the ball.

Ritter, Vikings eyeing River title

By CHRIS CASEY editorial@kcchronicle.com GENEVA – Geneva senior lineman Bob Ritter isn’t used to the spotlight. Watching now-graduated seniors Loudon Vollbrecht (offense) and Stephen Kemp (defense) control each side of the line, Ritter is now thrust into a role where he plays a very important part in Geneva’s success. Losing pieces happens to every team, but Geneva might have taken the brunt of graduation more so than most teams.

Ritter recently spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey to discuss his role and the Vikings’ outlook this season.

Casey: Does this team have what it takes to compete in a tough Upstate Eight River?

Ritter: Definitely. We have fast guys, strong guys, tough guys, and it’s all good out here.

Every team loses important pieces, but we gained a number of guys that can help us, and that will help us win games.

Casey: Coach Rob Wicinski said at practice that not many people believe this team can be successful

this year. He always believes, but why do you guys believe it?

Ritter: We’re constantly working to do everything we can to get better. We know we have what it takes. We’re out here every single day pumping iron, in the weight room, outside running. ... We want to be a successful team and know it’s going to take a lot of hard work to get there.

Casey: What kind of an impact does coach Wicinski have to get you guys believing you can win?

Ritter: It’s him, but it’s every coach out here. Every day they help us, but, yeah, coach [Wicinski] is an amazing motivator and he knows how to get the best out of us.

Casey: It’s not easy being outside in close to 100-degree weather and practicing. What gets you through that?

Ritter: Teammates. It’s all about playing and working hard for the guy next to you.

We know one guy isn’t going to make this team win. It has to be each and every guy.

When one guy is down or tired, we push each other through it. That’s all the motivation we need.

place guys like that. Every year is about turning around what guys you have in front of you.”

GETTING PAST THE ’DOGS: Over the past five seasons, the Vikings have seen rival Batavia win outright UEC River championships. In four of those five seasons, Geneva took second place, with its only loss coming to the Bulldogs. The two will square off in Week 6 at Batavia, a game that could potentially feature both teams being unbeaten in conference play. “Those games are dogfights,” Geneva senior defensive back Lance Arni said.

“We expect that every conference game is a tough one to win, but especially against Batavia and the St. Charles schools.”

QB TBD: It’s easy to have a for-sure front-runner for the starting quarterback position, but Wicinski says that’s yet to be determined. In fact, he likes not knowing with this group. With a roster that features senior Matt Evert and juniors Bobby Murray and Noah Palmer, Wicinski thinks the competition is exactly what this group needs. “The competition is good,” he said. “It’s healthy, but they push each other every day to get better. It’s exciting.”

KANELAND KNIGHTS Noel, Knights ready for regular-season grind

By CHRIS CASEY editorial@kcchronicle.com MAPLE PARK – Kaneland senior football player Matt Noel is one of the more talkative Knights when it comes to doing interviews.

But if Noel and his Kaneland teammates have things their way, they will let their play do the talking for them this season. Noel, a 6-foot-1 senior who will see time at both wide receiver and linebacker, is a guy who coach Tom Fedderly doesn’t expect to see on the sideline very often. Noel recently spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Casey about some of the varsity newcomers, the makeup of the team and what lies ahead for the Knights this season.

Casey: What are your early impressions of your team this year?

Noel: We’re definitely going to bring it. We have a lot of young players with us, so they are going to be eager to fight each and

every play for us.

Casey: How have some of those young guys stepped in and filled the needed roles?

Noel: They’ve been an important piece to our team.

You can tell that they want to be out there and help the team win. We’re going to need that each and every night out there.

Casey: What kind of identity do you see this team having?

Noel: Honestly, we’re just going to show up ready to play.

Casey: What do you expect to see from the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference?

Noel: Every game should be a tough battle. I feel like they always are and there aren’t any games that are easy to win. That’s what I’m expecting again this year.

Casey: Individually, how has your offseason gone with an increasing role?

Noel: I feel like I’ve made a pretty big impact, but it’s not just me. It’s about this team and every guy out here. We all have to do it together to win games this year.

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER AURORA – If all goes well, Weston Kramer will rarely leave the football field this fall. Kramer will play on both sides of the ball for Marmion, and the Northern Illinois recruit wouldn’t have it any other way. He loves the game but opponents didn’t love the 20 tackles for losses that he recorded last year. Kramer recently talked with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Walker about what he learned last season, the Cadets’ strengths and what he expects this season.

Walker: What was the biggest positive you took away from last year?

Kramer: I know that we learned a lot from the seniors last year. We don’t goof around. We work our butts off all the time to be the best team that we can. We have some juniors who like goofing around and we’re correcting that. We want to win and go to the playoffs.

Walker: How difficult is it to play both ways?

Kramer: It’s really difficult. It’s tough on your body, but it’s fun. You have to be well-conditioned. I love it,

biggest strength?

Kramer: I think our defensive line is looking really good. We have another returning defensive lineman, Calvin McDonald, a junior, looking really good. I think we’ll have the best defensive line in the conference, and I know our backfield is looking pretty good too, so I think that will be one of our strengths.

Walker: What are your thoughts on the conference?

Kramer: It’s tough. We just have to give our all every single game, especially since many of us play both ways and not many teams in our conference [have players that] do that.

Walker: What does it mean to be a senior?

Kramer: I’ve been playing with these guys for four years. I love all of them.

ST. CHARLES EAST SAINTS

The time is now for Schumann, Saints the playbook. In the weight room all the guys were trying to get new [personal records] and doing what they can to get better. We were always high-fiving and congratulating each other. It was a big team-building thing.

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – Max Schumann is one of 13 returning starters this season for St. Charles East football, which is looking for its first winning season in three years. The Saints averaged 37.5 points per game when they won last fall, but didn’t get enough victories to make the playoffs as they finished 4-5. With a strong offensive line and some skilled players who can move the chains, the Saints should be vastly improved and could return to the playoffs. Schumann recently spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Walker about how having so many returning starters is ramping up his optimism for his final high school season.

Walker: You guys have eight returning offensive starters from last year. The experience and talent is there for success, isn’t it?

Schumann: Having that many guys coming back is a good thing and we spent most of the summer working on plays that are going to help us be successful.

Walker: How’s the defense going to be?

Schumann: We don’t have as many defensive starters back as we do on offense, but there’s about four or six so that will help a lot. I know the guys will be ready to go by Week 1.

Walker: What do you tell the newcomers?

Schumann: If you’re a younger guy or now getting a chance to play, you have to be ready for that opportunity and make the most of it. If you’ve put in all the time then you should be ready to go.

Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com

St. Charles East’s Max Schumann takes a water break during a recent practice at the school. Schumann is one of 13 returning starters for the Saints, who are eyeing a playoff berth this season.

Walker: How was offseason training?

Schumann: I know the guys who weren’t busy playing other sports

were dedicated to training for this year. You’ve got to put in the time to get stronger and faster and to learn

Walker: Is it hard to believe it’s your senior year?

Schumann: It’s really been a long journey but it’s gone by in the blink of an eye. I’m enjoying it though, even though it’s my final year here. I’m looking forward to playing football and getting some wins.

Ambrogio, a three-year starter, is hoping to lead the North Stars on an extended playoff run this season.

Ambrogio, North Stars set big goals

By CHRIS ROLLIN WALKER editorial@kcchronicle.com ST. CHARLES – St. Charles North’s football team collected nearly 4,000 yards of offense last year and guard Sam Ambrogio had a lot to do with the team’s success.

Back for his senior season, the three-year starter will look to help the North Stars have a strong regular season and go on a deep playoff run. Ambrogio recently spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Chris Walker about the North Stars’ offseason, their big expectations with several returning starters, and how an early playoff exit last season is motivating the team.

Walker: With so many returning starters, are expectations high?

Ambrogio: Expectations are definitely high and it’s bittersweet being a senior. Having been a three-year starter it’s surreal when it gets to this point. I have all the confidence in myself and my team. This team is really unified; it’s diverse compared to the past two years.

Walker: How is last year’s opening-round playoff loss serving as motivation?

Ambrogio: Getting past the first round in the playoffs, getting over the hump, is a big goal, especially since we didn’t do it last year. We have really good leadership this

year and guys with big roles are going to put the weight on their shoulders for the team.

Walker: How was offseason training?

Ambrogio: It was hardcore in the weight room. We take our workouts and conditioning seriously. I saw some of the 7-on-7s and the guys were flying around and it gave the younger guys a chance to get a feel for the tempo and the speed of the game compared to the lower levels.

Walker: Do you ever want to leave the field?

Ambrogio: If it was a baseball game and the bottom of the ninth and the bases are loaded, I would want to be up more than any other player. I want that responsibility and that power to influence the game.

Walker: How do you preserve energy throughout games?

Ambrogio: You have to practice getting your second wind. You just don’t get it, it’s something dominant players have and it’s hard to go both ways and keep the stamina up to perform at your best on offense and on defense.

Walker: What’s the biggest concern with the team?

Ambrogio: Everyone doing their one-eleventh. Everyone has to know that they’re the strongest person and need to perform at the highest level. Knowing assignments and doing your job fast, hard and strong. Everyone has to do their part.

SEND US YOUR PHOTOS Going to the game? We want your photos! If you snap a good shot, send it to jrossi@shawmedia.com and we might use it in print or online.

WHAT TO WATCH OFFENSIVE LUXURIES: Quarterback Zach Mettetal should feel comfortable this fall knowing he’s going to be protected by 6-foot-6 Isaac Hawn, 6-4 Sam Ambrogio and the rest of an impressive offensive line. He also has plenty of weapons to give the ball to, including Griffin Hammer, Eric Lins, Lucas Segobiano and even twin brother, Tyler Mettetal. “Our O-line is very good,” Hawn said. “We’re going to plow people over. Our run game should be very strong as well as our passing game. We’ve got a lot of returning starters and we’ve all bought into the whole process.”

THE SENIOR SPECIAL: There’s no denying that the North Stars feature a special class of seniors, a group that has the potential to break the school record for wins in a season (eight). “We’re better than we were last year,” North Stars coach Rob Pomazak said.

TOUGH ENDING: The North Stars will get local rivals Geneva and Batavia in the final two weeks of the regular season. They haven’t beaten the Vikings since 2012 and the Bulldogs since 2010. “We want to peak at the right time,” Pomazak said. “If we do our job week to week like we’re supposed to, we could put ourselves in a really unique situation to do something that hasn’t been done at this school in a long time or ever, really.”

ST. FRANCIS SPARTANS

Bogdanski looking for playoff return with Spartans

By BILL STONE editorial@kcchronicle.com WHEATON – St. Francis football senior Greg Bogdanski was the only junior among the Spartans’ six 2015 All-Chicago Catholic League Green selections. The 6-foot1, 220-pound starting middle linebacker played practically every down by also contributing at tight end and on special teams. The tight end and linebacker recently spoke with Kane County Chronicle correspondent Bill Stone about new coach Joe Lepsche, what the Spartans learned playing in the CCL last year and his thoughts on the upcoming season.

Stone: What did the team learn from last season?

Bogdanski: Definitely to take it week to week. We looked at it way too big instead of focusing on one thing at a time, one week, one game or one practice.

Stone: How has the transition been to coach Lepsche?

Bogdanski: It’s gone really well, definitely a lot of learning

Coach Lepsche and (former) coach [Mike] Fitzgerald are really similar,

their beliefs, what they stand for, and how they run practice.

Stone: What are you encouraged by?

Bogdanski: I like our energy.

I think we’re picking up the new offense, the new defense really well and a lot of young

guys stepping up really motivates us.

Stone: How has your role changed this season?

Bogdanski: Definitely a lot more leadership role, looking over the younger guys. Last year I kind of put my head down and worked. I have to kind of keep my head up and look at everything, what the other kids and the guy next to me are doing.

Stone: Will your game responsibilities change?

Bogdanski: It’s a lot of the same stuff – blocking, a lot of gang tackling, all of the fun stuff for me. [Offensively] I block 95 percent of the time and hope to catch the ball maybe the rest.

Stone: Do you enjoy playing both ways?

Bogdanski: I’d rather play than just sit on the bench.

My sophomore year I got pulled up for the playoffs and I was like, “I hate this. I really want to get in there.”

Stone: What is the team goal this season?

Bogdanski: Playoffs for sure because we missed last year.

Riganato brings Mediterranean fusion home to Geneva

By RENEE TOMELL rtomell@shawmedia.com

GENEVA – Home cooking takes on a whole new meaning at Riganato Old World Grille, set in a former residence just east of Geneva’s downtown. The tile-roofed house sets the stage for Mediterranean dining created by the father-and-son team of Nick and Jimmy Nicolaou.

Jimmy Nicolaou called the cuisine Italian fusion.

“My family is Greek and Italian, so we kind of go outside the box with Italian and Greek, and other Mediterranean influences as well,” he said.

An example of their creativity is their jalapeño-and-ricotta-stuffed gnocchi with fresh cilantro-walnut pesto.

“We play with the Mediterranean sphere a little,” Jimmy Nicolaou said.

Before Riganato, the space had been home to the longtime restaurant The Rib House.

“We renovated and made it beautiful,” Nick Nicolaou said. “Every day, we cook everything from scratch. [Using] fresh ingredients, we try to serve the best food possible.”

Jimmy Nicolaou said among the most popular items are the ricotta-stuffed meatballs, available alone as an appetizer, or featured in a sandwich or entree. Their in-house pasta sauce is made with traditional San Marzano Photos by Sandy Bressner - sbressner@shawmedia.com tomatoes.

Concours to feature 250 classic, antique, modern cars

By BRENDA SCHORY bschory@shawmedia.com GENEVA – About 250 antique, classic and modern cars will be on display from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 28 on Third Street for the 12th annual Geneva Concours d’Elegance.

This year will feature 100-year celebrations for the Packard Twin Six automobile and the BMW company, and 50th-year recognition for the Shelby Mustang, said John Barrett, who helps organize the event.

“BMW was started in 1915 and made aircraft engines for World War I,” Barrett said. “Then they made motorcycles in 1923 and the first cars in 1928.”

The show will feature a 1929 BMW known as a Dixi, one of the earliest cars made by the company, Barrett said.

“It’s a real old car, really small and has only two seats,” Barrett said.

The oldest motorcycle made by BMW in the show will be from 1936, he said.

The show will have four Packard Twin Six automobiles, three of them touring – or open – cars and one

“The Twin Six is a V-12 engine,” Barrett said. “It was not produced for regular consumption. It’s a really big engine, a real chunk.”

The Shelby Mustang was pro-

duced in 1965 when Ford and automotive designer Carroll Shelby teamed up to produce a hot rod model of the mustang for that time, Barrett said.

“They are a real sporty looking

car with a big engine, and we’ll have four of them in the show,” Barrett said. “We’ll also have two Shelby Cobras, also produced for Ford.”

Barrett said after the third year of the show, they used the event to tell the histories of some of the cars – and continued that for all the cars.

“The concept was really well accepted. When you see these cars, you learn something – there’s great human interest stories that go along with the cars,” Barrett said. “We work really hard to tell a story with every car. When you come to the event, there is a story about every car on a story board.”

The show is free for the public to attend, Barrett said. All money raised through donations from car owners and the public will go to benefit the LivingWell Cancer Resource Center in Geneva, he said.

According to its website, genevaconcours.net, the Geneva Concours d’Elegance’s mission is to produce the best classic, exotic and race automobile event that showcases the heritage, artistic and engineering significance of the automobile.

Judging for the show begins at 9 a.m., with awards presented at a ceremony at 3 p.m.

roughly a month, maybe a bit longer, to switch up artists and coffees, Jenni Contaldo said.

By STEPHANIE N. GRIMOLDBY editorial@kcchronicle.com

Partnering with a purpose

The purpose of the Artist Series is simple: cross-promotion.

“We have a lot of artist friends, and we know it’s hard for artists to get their name out there,” Jenni Contaldo said. “[This series is meant] to help people get their name out there. It’s a benefit for us, too. They’re cross promoting our coffee; their artwork is on our coffee.”

Dyess was happy to receive a little extra publicity for her artwork, but the Contaldos sweetened the deal by giving her some of her specialty coffee, a

Chicago artist Olivia Dyess designed a label for a custom coffee at Modest Coffee, which opened inside the Sugar Grove Public Library in June.

T-shirt and $2 for every bag of the Artist Series coffee that is sold.

Customers benefit from the collaboration, too. Each 12-ounce bag of signature coffee comes in a limited-edition coffee bag featuring the artist’s work and includes a collectible vinyl sticker of the artwork.

Plus, the new roast is a great way to change up what the coffee shop usually offers, Jenni Contaldo said.

At $16 a bag, Modest Coffee has about the same profit margin from the Artist Series coffee as some of its other flavors, Jenni Contaldo said.

But partnering with the artist community was the true goal, she said. “[This was] an idea I had when we very first started – have an artist design artwork for us and we would design coffee for them,” Jenni Contaldo said. “We were part-time until recently, so we put it on the back burner. [Now that we’re] full-time for coffee, we have more time to devote to ideas we’ve always had for our coffee business.”

The Contaldos started with a 150-pound bag of Dyess’ coffee. When it sells out, the couple plans to introduce a new artist and coffee. It should take

The Contaldos started Modest Coffee as an online coffee roasting business three years ago to fill a void in the specialty coffee niche.

Before then, the Aurora couple had no experience roasting coffee. Their interest in the drink grew after they started buying specialty coffee from a man at a farmer’s market in Brookfield who roasted beans during the week and sold them on weekends.

However, when winter came, the couple couldn’t get in touch with their roaster. They finally stumbled upon his website and saw a video of the man home roasting. “[Marcus thought], ‘If this guy can do it, so can I,’” Jenni Contaldo said Marcus Contaldo started by roasting coffee beans for family and friends.

His hobby soon grew into a “passion project,” he said.

“I was trying to find specialty coffee, and the only way to get it was to get it myself,” Marcus Contaldo said. “After three years, we still saw that same problem with [there] not being an affordable way [to get specialty coffee.] We started Modest Coffee to bring specialty coffee and deliver it at an affordable price.”

Right now, Modest Coffee still offers the most valuable coffee you can buy, Marcus Contaldo said. With free shipping, a bag of coffee can be delivered to a customer’s house for $12.

Just this summer, the Contaldos decided to expand their online business to include a brick and mortar storefront.

When Java Plus left the library’s Book Nook Café in March, the couple jumped at the opportunity.

That meant that Marcus Contaldo had to leave his 10-year career in computer sales.

But that was definitely OK, Jenni Contaldo said.

“The idea was always to do coffee full-time,” she said.

St. Charles museum’s walking tour highlights city’s rich history

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com ST. CHARLES – The St. Charles History Museum is giving tourists and residents alike a chance to explore the city’s history.

For $5, people may purchase a self-guided walking tour that features more than two dozen sites within the original plat of St. Charles when it was called Charleston in the 1830s.

PDFs are available for download from the museum’s online gift shop at

www.stcmuseum.org. The museum, 215 E. Main St., St. Charles, also carries 13-by-9-inch hard copies. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Alison Costanzo, the museum’s executive director, said the museum wanted to give visitors and residents a way to explore the city and the “great history that’s part of it.”

“Everyone really was asking for it,” she said.

The map provides a suggested route that takes participants to 23 sites,

including Baker Memorial Park, the St. Charles Municipal Building, St. Charles National Bank and the Durant House.

The tour takes about an hour, Costanzo said, but participants may extend the activity by about 30 minutes by visiting nine other points of interest that are off the marked route, such as the Baker Community Center.

Costanzo said resident Mike Dixon was instrumental in the walking tour, which includes photos and descriptions of each site. Others checked facts and grammar and ensured the tour made

sense, she said, describing it as a “real group process.”

She said the walking tour is another way to get people excited about history.

Costanzo, who has been in her role for the last year and a half, said she’s trying to make the museum more prevalent in the community and sees possibilities for additional self-guided tours.

“History is really ingrained in the culture of St. Charles,” she said. “It’s really wonderful to see there’s a respect for that.”

SUGAR GROVE – Olivia Dyess is a self-described coffee connoisseur.

When the 38-year-old Chicago artist was given the chance to create a piece of artwork to express that love, she jumped at the opportunity.

Modest Coffee, the small coffee shop that opened in June inside the Sugar Grove Public Library, invited Dyess to be its inaugural partner in a collaboration called the “Artist Series.”

Owners Marcus and Jenni Contaldo asked Dyess to design a label for a custom coffee that Marcus Contaldo then roasted with that artist’s tastes in mind.

Dyess used ink and pastels to create the image of an aerial artist on the moon, which has a “late night, romantic, mysterious feel to it,” she said, which she felt mirrored her request for a dark coffee with notes of chocolate, raspberry and caramel.

With that image and those flavors in mind, it was Marcus Contaldo’s turn to get creative.

“For Olivia … I found a coffee that had those characteristics,” he said. “I roasted it dark and flavored it … it’s definitely a collaboration. I create the coffee; [the artists] create the artwork.”

Dyess said her coffee tasted pretty spot-on.

“I love it,” she said. “I told everybody, you’ve got to buy my coffee.

“It was a great experience.”

Athyrium nipponicum “Pictum” (pictured) was the 2004 Perennial Plant of the year. “It is not aggressive, but it gently spreads. Both height and spread are about two feet,” writes columnist and master gardener Donna Mack.

Great ground cover plants for your garden Do you have areas where it is difficult to establish or maintain grass?

Even if you are a fan of lawn, would you like to reduce your grassy areas and the maintenance they require?

Would you like to discourage weed formation? Do you need an anchor plant for sloping areas? If so, you are a great candidate for ground cover plants.

Grass itself is actually a ground cover. But it is a ground cover that requires a lot of labor and expense to keep it lush and weed free. Many other ground cover plants can provide erosion control, fight back weeds, fill a hillside and thrive in dry conditions, while still adding a unique beauty to your garden.

There are far more choices than the hens and chicks, pachysandra and ajuga typically seen, and some of them are gorgeous. Here are a few I have grown with success.

A plant that I recently discovered that thrives in my yard is dwarf plumbago (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides), which is a perennial, not the shrub with a similar name. This terrific little plant has shiny green leaves that turn bronze red in autumn. It produces beautiful blue flowers in summer and into the fall. It is fully hardy in our zone. I planted it under an evergreen, and it is thriving. It can accept full sun, as well as partial shade, and grows about eight inches tall and one to two feet wide. It does leaf out late in the spring.

LEARNING TO GROW Donna Mack You have probably read articles about epimediums but may not have tried this tough and beautiful plant.

My recommendation is Epimedium x versicolor “Sulphureum,” a plant that I have grown in both half sun and full shade. A slowly expanding, weed-resistant cultivar, it is commonly available, one of the best cultivars and one of the least expensive. The flowers are lovely. The plant grows to 12 inches tall and spreads to 18 inches.

Athyrium nipponicum “Pictum” was the 2004 Perennial Plant of the year with good reason. It is not aggressive, but it gently spreads. Both height and spread are about two feet.

Looking at the plant, it’s a stunner, and – in my gardens – it handles part to full shade.

Please consider adding one or more of these easygoing plants to your landscaping. You’ll be glad you did.

Remove the bay and sage, then transfer the

TOM’S COOKBOOK LIBRARY Tom Witom pot to the stove. Bring the wine to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat so the liquid is barely simmering, cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour. Put the salt-cured anchovies in a small bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak for 30 minutes, then gut the anchovies, pull the fillets from the skeleton and set aside. Put the capers in a separate bowl, cover with warm water, and let soak for 15 minutes, then drain, rinse in cold water and set aside. When the beef has cooked for an hour, uncover the pot, add the soaked anchovy fillets, and increase the heat so the liquid is simmering more vigorously.

Cook for 30 minutes more, during which time the liquid should reduce by half. Remove the beef from the pot, transfer to a trimmed baking sheet and let cool to room temperature. With a slotted spoon, remove the anchovy fillets from the broth and set aside. Save the cooking liquid. While the beef cooks, put the eggs in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water, the bring to a boil over high heat. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and let stand for 9 minutes, then transfer the eggs to an ice water bath. When cool, peel the eggs and remove the yolks (the whites can be discarded or saved as a cook’s snack). In the bowl of a food processor, combine the reserved anchovy fillets, egg yolks, tuna, soaked capers, vinegar, lemon juice and olive oil. Process until the sauce has the consistency of softly whipped cream, adding a little bit of the reserved cooking liquid as necessary to achieve the correct fluffy texture but taking care not to add so much liquid that the sauce becomes runny. Season to taste with additional salt. Thinly slice the cooked beef and transfer to a platter. Drizzle the sauce over, then garnish with parsley leaves. Serve at room temperature.

Veal Tonnato

KANE WEEKEND | Kane Weekend / KCChronicle.com

“Home Cooked” (Ten Speed Press), with its inspired recipes for everything from rich sauces to meaty ragus to perfectly charred vegetables, is designed to rejuvenate confidence and enthusiasm in anyone with an interest in cooking.

The accessible book is the work of Oakland, Calif.-based Anya Fernald, a strong advocate for home cooking.

She’s also the founder and CEO of Belcampo Meat Co., a huge sustainable meat company, with more than 20,000 acres of farmland in California and seven butcher shops and restaurants in the San Francisco/Los Angeles area.

Fernald devotes chapters to her kitchen; snacks, starters and cocktails; pasta, ragu, risotto and eggs; vegetables; fish and meat; and desserts. Veal Tonnato is a good example of Fernald’s downto-earth cooking style. She describes it as “an unfussy dish” that’s frequently served in Italy during the summer when a cold course hits the spot.

TALES FROM THE MOTHERHOOD Jennifer DuBose grinning at the memory of all of those times I’d gamely told his sister and him that the thing they pined for was “somewhere, somewhere we haven’t looked yet.” Things don’t just evaporate, I always say. Just then, across the room, I spotted a pair of bulging manila envelopes which contained keepsakes I’d not set out to collect, but had, over the last few years. I had one for each of the kids. Maybe the papers he needed were there? He poured the contents onto my bed, sifted through them and held the blue envelope up like a prize, pumping his fist into the

air. “So what are you planning to say?” I asked. We talked strategy and considered the wisdom of avoiding language that could inspire a defensive response.

“Maybe you could type notes in an open document if I should say something,” he laughed, “like a cue card.”

I was good with that. I knew he’d do fine, but I was game. It could be fun. I just hoped I could keep from laughing out loud as I opened a blank document and jacked the point size up to 56.

“Is that good?” I asked. He gave a thumbs-up. He had his paperwork spread out, the phone in hand. He was on it.

“I’ll be their first call,” he said. And then the phone rang. “It’s probably them!” he said, staring at the caller ID. “It’s THEM!” Ha! Eyes big as moons, he answered. (Yes, I know, he shaves.

And yes, I know, I’ve been referring to his surprise eyes being big as moons since before his voice began cracking.

Whatever.)

“I looked it up, and you’re right,” his caller volunteered, right off the bat.

Noah thanked her for offering to send the corrected paperwork.

“Get her name spelling and number,” I typed as he nodded, made his queries and took notes. Mission accomplished.

The universe is funny, isn’t it?” I said when he hung up.

“It could feel me powering up,” he said. Yes, yes it can.

I remember the days when Noah grimaced whenever I suggested he order the pizza. You know, make the call.

But those days are over.

He had an important phone call to make and was taking matters into his own hands. If only he could get them on the paperwork he needed.

He’d left a message the night before but decided he wanted the official paperwork in hand, proof of his argument, before calling a second time. But the night before his high school graduation party I shoveled the paperwork, along with other household miscellany, into one of two Trader Joe’s bags and stowed them under the desk. I listened from upstairs as he pawed through it all, imagining the mess. Oy vey. He returned empty-handed a few minutes later.

“Well, it’s somewhere,” I said,

Fit youth have reduced diabetes risk Dear Dr. K: My teenage son doesn’t like sports or exercise. Diabetes runs in our family. You say exercise protects against diabetes and is valuable even in young adults. Can you give me some ammunition to convince my teenager to exercise?

Dear Reader: Perfect timing: A new study has been published that provides an answer. Most studies of exercise have been in adults, often older adults. Until this recent study, there wasn’t a lot of information about teenagers.

The new study looked at 1.5 million teenage men enlisted in the military in Sweden between the years 1969 and 1997. None had diabetes at the time they entered the military. Because military service is required in Sweden, these young men included over 97 percent of all Swedish men aged 18.

Health records were available for all the men, for up to the next 40 years.

At the time they entered military service, their aerobic capacity, a reflection of the amount of aerobic exercise, was measured. So was their muscle strength, a reflection of the amount of strength or resistance training. Medical records over the next several decades also identified which of the young men developed diabetes (the common type, called Type 2 or “adult-onset” diabetes).

The research team then could compare the young men who were the least fit to those who were the most fit, with regard to the rate with which they developed Type 2 diabetes many decades later. Those who were the least fit (both in terms of aerobic capacity and muscle strength) were more than three times more likely to later develop diabetes.

This connection between fitness and reduced risk of diabetes was true regardless of how much the teens weighed when they began military service. That’s im-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff portant because exercise helps to reduce weight, and lower weight helps to protect against diabetes. This study shows that exercise in teenagers -- both aerobic exercise and strength training – reduces the risk of diabetes in later life, even if the exercise hasn’t led them to achieve a healthy weight.

Aerobic exercise and strength training cause several different chemical changes in muscle. These changes cause muscle to extract sugar from the blood more efficiently. That, in turn, lowers blood sugar levels.

Regular exercise also shrinks the size and number of fat cells. This leads to hormonal changes that reduce the risk of developing diabetes.

A weakness of this study is that it did not measure again, later in life, the aerobic capacity and muscle strength of these young men. It is theoretically possible that the ones who exercised the most as teens continued to exercise the most as older adults. In other words, maybe the exercise when they were teens didn’t protect them, only the exercise later in life. That’s possible, but I think it’s more likely that regular exercise in teenage and young adult years protects against diabetes many years later.

I hope that’s the ammunition you need.

It should be – if your son is a rational teenager. But I know that rational teens can sometimes be hard to find!

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Patricia in Kentucky Dear Patricia: Thank you for offering that sug-

gestion, one that was echoed by many readers who wrote to lend support to “Hiding.” Some of them also advised looking into a company that provides credit to finance medical and dental work. Usually it’s a no-interest loan for a certain period, which allows patients to pay over time without having to wait for their care. The dental care provider may be able to recommend one.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 12 and I’m still flat-chested. Some girls my age already have developed in all the right places. If I started to eat more, do you think I would start getting larger in the places that I want to be larger? – Wondering,

Louisville, Ky. Wondering: All teens are on

their own individual timetables during puberty. Mother Nature has some girls start to develop as early as 10 or 11 while others wait until 14 or 15 before starting adolescence. But eventually, everyone undergoes the same physical changes. The late bloomers catch up to their peers rapidly, once the process starts. You can’t hurry this process, so you might as well relax. Do not worry – Mother Nature will not pass you by!

And overeating will not speed the developing process; it will only cause you to become larger in places you don’t want to become larger. Your best bet is to eat nourishing foods, exercise daily, and get proper rest.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 15-year-old guy and I guess you can say that

JUMBLE

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace I’m a 100 percent nerd. I wear glasses. I’m skinny and I’m not too coordinated. My only salvation is that I’m intelligent. Is there any hope that I’ll find a girl who would go out with someone like me? Sometimes I don’t think so. – Nerd, Davenport, Iowa Nerd: The following letter will light up your life, big time!

Dr. Wallace: I’d like to respond to the girl who wrote complaining that only nerds asked her out.

My mother told me that when she was in high school she went steady with a football star. When she started college, she became attracted to a skinny, intelligent, nerdy kind of guy. After they graduated, they married -- and that nerdy kind of guy is my father!

He is a heart specialist, a pillar of strength and leadership in Las Vegas, and the absolutely great-

est dad a girl could ever have.

The football hero works at a local casino and has been divorced several times.

Three cheers for all the nerds of the world! Our lives are enriched because of them. Let’s just say that nerds are like ugly ducklings. With time, they evolve into beautiful swans. Even so, I can’t imagine my father ever being ugly.

Dr. Wallace: Please answer my question. I just got a tattoo on my shoulder and now my best friend tells me I can get a disease from the tattoo needle. Is this true?

Should I be tested? – Nameless,

Rock Island, Ill. Nameless: As long as a new needle was used, you can’t contract a disease from it. It is possible to get the virus, however, if the tattooing needle was previously used on an infected person. For peace of mind, contact a doctor to be tested. It’s not worth the stress of wondering.

I have a complicated family situation. My dad was married to a woman named “Cynthia” for 16 years until they divorced. He met and married my mother the next year. My parents were married for 40 years, until Mom died of cancer a year ago. Since her death, I have gone with my dad to a few holiday events hosted at his other daughters’ houses, where we saw them and Cynthia. Everyone was cordial and welcoming. A few days ago, Dad told me that he and Cynthia are dating, and he asked me to wish them luck. My immediate reaction was “Why?!”

I left immediately, and have ignored his phone calls ever since. I cannot express how upset this made me. I realize he’s a lonely old man who would like to maybe start dating again, but his EX-WIFE? It feels like a total betrayal of my mother and me, like we were only some sort of intermission from his first family. There are so many reasons why this feels like a sad and terrible idea, up to and including the havoc it will wreak on all of his daughters if something goes wrong again. I feel like he hasn’t taken into account anyone’s feelings but his own. Am I selfish to feel this way? Is there anything I can do to stop this dead in its tracks? I don’t want to be the bad guy, but I will NEVER be OK with this. – “Intermission” Daughter Dear Daughter: If you are never OK with this, you will punish only yourself. Your father’s divorce from Cynthia appears to have been amicable. His attraction to her may have more to do with the fact that he is drawn to someone familiar than any lack of feeling for you and your mother. Instead of punishing him by ignoring his calls, I urge you to talk to him. What he’s doing isn’t disrespectful. He has mourned your mother’s death for a year. Let him find happiness if he can, because if you do, I predict that it will spill over into your own life.

Dear Abby: “Hiding My Smile in New Jersey” (Feb. 28) was embarrassed by the condition of her teeth, which she had neglected for years.

Your advice to her/him was excellent, but I’d like to add one more suggestion: Schools of dentistry often have programs in which care is offered to lower-income patients under a reduced-fee structure, based on the client’s income. Care is provided by dental students under close supervision by their board-certified dental professors. Students participate as assistants in procedures prior to being allowed to perform these procedures. In the latter case, the senior dentist serves as the assistant (and guide). –

Mother Nature will not forget you

Country-flavored comedian Bill Engvall guest stars in “The Marriage Doctor,” playing ... well, pretty much what the title says. The character is the new minister at the Baxter family’s church, and Mike and Vanessa (Tim Allen, Nancy Travis) meet with him after having a spat. Eve (Kaitlyn Dever) seeks help from Ryan (Jordan Masterson) as she prepares to take a debate role opposed from her usual political views. Molly Ephraim and Amanda Fuller also star.

Martin Sheen, Charlize Theron, Joe Jonas, Demi Lovato, Seth Rogen, Zooey Deschanel, Rico Rodriguez and the Muppets are among the celebrities participating in this second annual celebration of young people. The special, which airs commercial free, is built around an event that took place last April at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., during which Sheen and his fellow stars exhorted their mostly young audience to go out and find ways to spread kindness through the world, leading to a global change of attitude.
